Global Battle Arts presents Trial by Combat 8.20.24

This week's Trial by Combat will see how the wrestlers of GBA will deal with the fallout of Valar Morghulis. Malakai Black DEMANDS one more match Against World Champ Kazuchika Okada, and The Rainmaker is more than happy to oblige. Having bested the dark one at Valar Morghulis easily, Okada is more than willing to give him one more shot. Our new champions will be defending their titles as well. Bryan Danielson will put the US Title on the line against Speedball Mike Bailey. New TV Champ Shota Umino will defend his newly won title against the man that murdered Danhausen at Valar Morghulis in a table match, former World champ Yota Tsuji. Tsuji has been itching to get some gold around his waist again since losing the World Title to Okada. Will he make Umino's reign a short one? Junior Heavyweight Champion Reckless Youth looks to continue his comeback tour with a successful title defense, as he takes on Ilja Dragunov. In the spirit of fairness, Tag Champs Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, who successfully defended their titles at Valar Morghulis against PCO & Gangrel, will be defending their titles against The New Day. Kofi and Xavier came up just one match short in the tourny to see who would face the champs at Valar Morghulis, losing by count out. Agreeing they were cheated by the cheap tactics of Danhausen's ghouls, the champs have agreed to give the New Day a shot tonight. Speaking of Gangrel, he's facing off against Eddie Kingston tonight. Eddie is coming off losing the US title in a vicious Fatal Four-Way. Will the vampire be slain in the War King's wrath, or will everyone's favorite fanger and banger take a bite out of Kingston? All this, and more, on Trial by Combat!
