TCW Annihilation 12 Results: Aaron Lynch becomes TCW Champion
TCW returned to Elphin Sports Centre with their 12th edition of Annihilation with another stacked card the TCW Title was on the line as Andy Rhodes defended against challenger Aaron Lynch. Their last meeting saw Andy Rhodes crush the skull of Aaron Lynch leaving us wondering if there would be a title match, but two months later and Lynch was ready to go and would defeat Andy Rhodes for the title.
The results of the show are as follows:
North Esk Championship
Jaxon Parker (c) vs. Elliot Greyson
Annihilation 12 kicked off with a high-stakes battle for the North Esk Championship as Elliot Greyson, accompanied by his Two Kings partner James Wrecks, challenged Jaxon Parker. The crowd was electric, firmly behind Parker, but a missed hip attack into the steel steps swung the momentum in Greyson’s favor. With Wrecks looming at ringside, Greyson relentlessly targeted the injured hip, keeping the champion on the defensive. Parker showed the resilience of a true warrior, refusing to stay down. However, a ruthless shot to the head with the championship belt, followed by a devastating House Call kick to the jaw, sealed his fate. History was made as Elliot Greyson became the first-ever two-time North Esk Champion.
Winner: New North Esk Champion, Elliot Greyson
Triple Threat Match
Axel Strife vs. Deano vs. DoomSlayer
Originally set as a one-on-one bout between Axel Strife and Deano, the match took an unexpected turn when DoomSlayer stormed the ring before the bell, voicing his frustrations about being left off TCW’s biggest show of the year. His demands were met, and the match became a triple threat. The TCW faithful, ever rallying behind #Justice4Deano, hoped to see the Pro Wrestling Machine emerge victorious. But DoomSlayer had other plans. A brutal poison rana took Deano out of contention, and moments later, a devastating spinning pump-handle slam on Axel secured DoomSlayer a massive win.
Winner: DoomSlayer
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Ascendancy vs. The Bald & Beardiful
With TCW’s very future on the line, Ascendancy’s Liam Lacey, JJ Storm, and Chase Austin clashed with the flamboyant yet deadly trio of Eddie Jones, Zakk Archer, and Dylan Daniels—The Bald & Beardiful. The match began as a technical contest but soon spiraled into chaos when a three-way submission hold erupted into an all-out brawl. The referee had no choice but to throw the match out. But before the dust could settle, a returning Mr. Sinclair wasn’t having any of it—he restarted the fight under No Rules, No DQ.
With the shackles off, the Elphin Sports Centre became a battleground. Kendo sticks, steel chairs, and trash cans flew as the mayhem escalated. Daniels drilled Lacey with a Tasmanian Destroyer, Archer sent Storm crashing with a Northern Lights Suplex off the top rope, and Jones sealed the victory with a brutal spear through a table on Austin. With that, TCW’s future remained intact.
Winners: The Bald & Beardiful
James Wrecks vs. Diablo
Following the intermission, the Two Kings returned, with James Wrecks flanked by the newly crowned North Esk Champion, Elliot Greyson. But Diablo wasn’t here for theatrics—he launched himself at Greyson, sending him crashing into the front row before turning his sights on Wrecks.
The match officially began after Wrecks countered with a vicious chair shot to Diablo, and from there, it became a showcase of sheer power. Wrecks stunned the crowd with an incredible superplex off the top rope, but Diablo refused to stay down. However, Wrecks had one final trick up his sleeve—delivering a devastating Catatonic to put Diablo away, securing a flawless 2-0 night for the Two Kings.
Winner: James Wrecks
TCW Championship
Andy Rhodes (c) vs. Aaron Lynch
Earlier in the night, TCW Champion Andy Rhodes taunted his challenger, reminding everyone of the brutal chair shot he delivered to Aaron Lynch last December. But Lynch wasn’t interested in words—he blasted Rhodes with a running knee the moment the bell rang.
Despite Lynch’s fiery start, the champion used his size and strength to keep his challenger grounded. But Lynch, never one to stay down, fought back with everything he had. A throwback facebuster and a breathtaking top-rope blockbuster had the crowd believing this was his moment. As Rhodes attempted a powerbomb, Lynch slipped behind him and struck with one final, thunderous running knee. The ref counted three, and after years of near-misses and heartbreak, Aaron Lynch finally captured the TCW Championship.
Winner: New TCW Champion, Aaron Lynch
