Westside Xtreme Wrestling’s Pro-Wrestling Grand Prix reached a decisive stage on September 27 at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany, with tournament finals, championship changes and key König Der Catcher block action shaping a packed night three card. The event aired on wXwNOW.

The biggest tournament result saw Dennis Dullnig defeat Elijah Blum in the König Der Catcher final. Dullnig had already strengthened his position earlier on the show with a Block A victory over 1 Called Manders, while Blum entered the final after beating Peter Tihanyi in Block B competition. By the end of the night, Dullnig had overcome the field to claim the König Der Catcher tournament win.

There were also two major championship outcomes. Laurance Roman defeated Dieter Schwartz to become the new wXw European Champion, ending Schwartz’s reign during a night in which the former champion had already competed in König Der Catcher Block B action. Later, Chihiro Hashimoto defeated Kanji in the Femmes Fatales final to win the wXw Women’s World Championship.

Dennis Dullnig Wins König Der Catcher

The road to the König Der Catcher final included important block matches that clarified the tournament picture. In Block A, Katsuhiko Nakajima and Thomas Shire wrestled to a time-limit draw. Both men were listed on three points entering the contest, and neither was able to secure the outright result that would have separated them on the night.

Dullnig then defeated 1 Called Manders in another Block A bout. The result placed Dullnig at four points, while Manders was listed with two. It was a crucial win for Dullnig before the final, giving him the momentum needed for the evening’s closing tournament match.

Block B brought a notable administrative finish when Dieter Schwartz was awarded a victory over Axel Tischer via forfeit. Schwartz was listed with two points and Tischer with one at the time of the result. No reason for the forfeit was provided in the announced results.

Elijah Blum earned his place in the final by defeating Peter Tihanyi. Blum was listed on four points, while Tihanyi was on three, making the result another important one in the race to determine the finalist from Block B. Blum’s run ultimately took him to the König Der Catcher final, but Dullnig was the wrestler who emerged victorious when the two met.

Dullnig’s final win over Blum was the defining tournament result of the show. The Grand Prix format brought together matches from both blocks before the finalists faced off, and Dullnig’s victories over Manders and then Blum made him the night’s König Der Catcher winner.

Laurance Roman Captures the European Championship

The wXw European Championship changed hands when Laurance Roman defeated Dieter Schwartz. Schwartz entered the night as champion and had a demanding schedule, first being awarded the Block B forfeit victory over Tischer before later defending his title against Roman.

Roman’s victory makes him the new wXw European Champion. The result adds a major title change to a show already centered on tournament stakes, and it ended Schwartz’s championship reign in Oberhausen. Schwartz remained involved in the Grand Prix’s Block B results, but the European Championship left the event with Roman.

The title match was one of several occasions on the card where tournament competitors and championship pursuits overlapped. With Schwartz wrestling in the block portion of the show as well as defending the European title, the night placed substantial demands on the former champion. Roman capitalized on the opportunity and left Turbinenhalle with the championship.

Chihiro Hashimoto Wins the wXw Women’s World Championship

The Femmes Fatales final also delivered a title change. Chihiro Hashimoto defeated Kanji to win the wXw Women’s World Championship. The match was designated as the Femmes Fatales final, giving the championship contest an added tournament conclusion beyond its title implications.

Hashimoto’s win placed her among the night’s leading winners alongside Dullnig and Roman. While Dullnig’s success came through the König Der Catcher final and Roman’s through the European Championship match, Hashimoto secured the women’s title by overcoming Kanji in one of the event’s most significant bouts.

The result means wXw closed night three with new champions in both the European and Women’s World title pictures. Kanji came up short in the final, while Hashimoto left Oberhausen as the new champion.

Greedy Souls Win World Tag Team Tournament

The World Tag Team Tournament concluded with Greedy Souls, Brendan White and Danny Jones, defeating Hyperactive, Anita Vaughan and Safire Reed, in the finals. The victory gave White and Jones the tournament win over a Hyperactive team that had reached the final pairing.

The tag tournament final was a notable part of a card built around decisive matches. In addition to the König Der Catcher and Femmes Fatales finals, the World Tag Team Tournament reached its own conclusion on the same night. Greedy Souls’ victory ensured that another tournament winner was determined before the event ended.

White and Jones now have the distinction of winning the World Tag Team Tournament following their defeat of Vaughan and Reed. The result was one of the card’s clearest statements about wXw’s tag division, even as the show’s singles championships and individual tournaments received major attention.

Jane Nero Defeats Kay Lee Ray

Elsewhere on the card, Jane Nero defeated Kay Lee Ray in a singles match. The bout was not listed as a championship match or tournament contest, but it added another meaningful result to an event with a strong concentration of finals and title bouts.

Nero’s victory over Kay Lee Ray came amid a card that featured competitors from several tournament and championship programs. With the Grand Prix producing results across both König Der Catcher blocks, the standalone singles result gave the evening another notable winner outside of the announced tournament finals.
