Federated Wrestling Alliance held an event in Baltimore,
Maryland, on Friday, June 9, 2023. The results are below.
Boom Harden was scheduled to face Jarett Diaz in the opening
match. Harden entered the ring and spoke emotionally about
everything he had sacrificed to pursue wrestling, prompting
chants of “We’re your family” from the crowd. As he
continued, Diaz attacked him from behind with a football
helmet, leaving him unable to compete. FWA General Manager
Will Ferrara came to the ring, reprimanded Diaz, and
announced that the major reveal for the night was the
creation of the new FWA Championship. He declared that the
match to crown the first champion would take place
immediately between Jarett Diaz and Griffin McCoy.
Jarett Diaz defeated Griffin McCoy to become the inaugural
FWA Champion. McCoy appeared to have the match won after the
referee was taken out, but Diaz recovered and secured the
pin once the referee was back in action.
Kaia McKenna defeated Sammi Chaos by submission.
Ruthless Lala made her return to FWA and attacked Kaia
McKenna after the match. Sammi Chaos joined in the assault.
J.B. Anderson came to the ring and spoke about his
background in hardcore and deathmatch wrestling. Isaiah Wolf
interrupted him and challenged him to a fight, but referees
and Will Ferrara intervened before it could begin.
The Delinquents (Mikey Banker, Josh Fuller, and Saul
Esparza), accompanied by Jet Jaghori, defeated The Rep (Kris
Bishop, Nate Wallace, and Dave Carter) in a six-man tag team
match.
Homeless Von defeated Ryan Mooney, Shaun Smith, Devious
Cass, Cheeseburger, and Jet Jaghori in a scramble match. Von
celebrated with a bottle of Olde English from his shopping
cart. Austin Kingsley attempted to offer him cash, but Von
took his entire wallet before Kingsley recovered it and
convinced him to accept the money instead.
Rayo, Keo Vandu, and Pedro Pablo defeated The Sindicate in a
tornado tag match.
Anthony Greene and Channing Thomas defeated Post Game.
Eli Isom defeated Donovan Dijak in the main event. Though
fans still chanted “new guy Eli,” Isom received the loudest
reactions of the night. He entered to “My Sacrifice” by
Creed wearing a Creed T-shirt. After a dramatic match filled
with near falls, Isom picked up the victory. He and Dijak
shook hands and raised each other’s arms. As the Creed song
played again, Dijak joined in singing along. Isom then
addressed the crowd, thanked them, and spoke about his time
at the ROH Dojo and the respect he had for Dijak.
With Jarett Diaz earning a tainted victory to claim the FWA
title, a rematch with Griffin McCoy seems inevitable—but Eli
Isom’s rise may put him directly in the title picture as
well.
