Ellis is finally back to review OPW shows with Joe!

In one the best shows they've done, OPW put on a stacked card kicking off with the OPW Champion, Rico Markus, defending against Joey Hayes which set the tone for the evening.

The Overboard Rumble was all action with stellar performances and storytelling throughout leading to RPD winning his first rumble and setting up the the trilogy match with Markus at War on the Shore as well as a returning Ryan Hunter Vs Teddy Reay.

Kollins and Grey fought to be the inaugural Morecambe Bay Championship in a hard hitting affair and emotional crowning, Reece and Rogan made a triumphant return to take the tag titles of Viral Connection and inject a bit of “poison” back into OPW.

Main eventing was Lana Austin winning her first OPW championship defeating Leah Raven in a falls count anywhere match which was the match of the night and included a tremendous run in by Hollie Barlow.

The title victory celebrations with Venga Boys dancing and a conga line was heart warming and a special moment to end the night.
