The current ETU Key To The East Champion Marcus Mathers defends the championship against the number one contender Brandon Kirk in a Bound By Hate match.

Mathers has held the ETU Championship for well over a year, while Kirk is cashing in on his key contenders opportunity. Kirk has made it clear at “Summer Madness 2” that he’s after the championship, and will capture it by any means necessary. He aligned himself with Matt Makowski, Austin Luke and Gabriel Skye, collectively known as The Expected.

These two men know eachother very well, now both of them will be attached to a chain. There will be nowhere to go.

Upcoming prospect Joseph Alexander has called his shot and is in for the biggest test of his young career, as he challenges “Weapon X” Matt Makowski.

Both men made their ETU debuts at Summer Madness 2. Makowski had a match of the night performance against Mike Santana. While Alexander won the crowd over in the Rey Del Estilo (King of Style) tournament.

Later in the evening when Makowski aligned himself with Brandon Kirk to attack Marcus Mathers, Alexander came out attempt to make the save. He was shut down by Makowski, and now he wants his revenge.

Both men have similar wrestling styles, but that’s if the match stays competitive.

It’s battle of the 450s! The returning B3CCA will take on the young prodigy out of the Midwest, Rachel Armstrong.

B3CCA is making her ETU return for the first time in over a year. She has a winning record in ETU at 2-1, with her only loss against Billie Starkz. Rachel Armstrong made her debut at Summer Madness 2. She fell short in her match against “The Kick Demon” Janai Kai.

Both women have been wanting this match for a long time. This should be a good one.

For tag team action we got The Killionaire’s Club squaring off against CONTRA.

The Killionaire’s Club of Pretty Boy Smooth and J Boujii remain unpinned inside an ETU ring, but they face what might be their toughest challenge yet.

Janai Kai has been dominant as of late in ETU, securing wins over Christina Marie, Zayda Steel and Rachel Armstrong. Kai moves on from singles competition and joins her CONTRA stablemate Ikuro Kwon.

Ikuro Kwon (formerly known as Tristen Thai) is no stranger to ETU, as he has wrestled alongside Gabriel Skye as the tag team, Above The Rest.

Although Kai and Kwon are stablemates in MLW, this will be the first time they’re working as a tag team. The inexperience could hurt them, if the 6 foot 9 inch Pretty Boy Smooth doesn’t. This could have implications for the upcoming tournament to crown the first ever ETU Atlantic Tag Team Champions.

A year after he walked through the front door at ETU, Mike Santana faces off against a man that has a ton of momentum on his side.

At the Year 2 Celebration “Just Gettin’ Warm”, Mike Santana made a surprise appearance by walking through the front door and calling out “The Notorious 187” Homicide. Since then he’s been undefeated in in-ring competition, defeating Homicide, YAMATO, and Matt Makowski. At “Dial It Up” he faces someone who’s been on a role in 2024, “Da Big Boofa” Dezmond Cole.

Dezmond Cole left Summer Madness 2 as the winner of the Rey Del Estilo tournament, by defeating Sam Holloway in the finals. Cole went on to win Limitless Wrestling’s 2024 Vacationland Cup, then later becoming the Limitless Wrestling World Champion. He’s looking to continue his momentum with his biggest challenge yet in ETU.

Yoya and Brayden Toon have been at eachother’s necks for nearly a year. It all started at ETU’s Year Two Celebration “Just Gettin’ Warm” where the two competed in a four corners survival match on December 16, 2023. Since then they’ve competed in several four way matches against eachother. They’ve also gone back and forth online, showing their hatred for eachother.

It all comes to an end one year later at ETU’s Year Three Celebration in a Loser Leaves ETU Match. The hatred between these two men could turn violent.

The four corner survival match is an ETU stable. ETU owner and promoter The Struggles, revealed all the participants in this four corner survival during an interview on the IWGuide podcast. It will be The Expected’s Gabriel Skye, Sam Holloway, Aaron Rourke and Seabass Finn.

Gabriel Skye has been dangerous since aligning himself with Brandon Kirk as a member of The Expected. Recent WWE ID prospect Sam Holloway has been putting on breath taking performances since debuting in ETU late last year. Aaron Rourke is returning to ETU after a fantastic performance against Joey Janela at “All I Want 3”. Seabass Finn is the only wrestler in this match that hasn’t competed in ETU before. The New Japan Dojo trained wrestler out of the New England area has been making a name for himself as of late, including competing in a New Japan Strong event in Lowell, Massachusetts earlier this month. Anyone can win this one.
