1 Called Manders is the 2025 wXw 16 Carat Gold Tournament winner!

Manders outlasted fifteen other competitors to win the trophy in the most prestigious tournament in Germany, wXw’s annual tournament. On night one of the tournament, Manders was able to overcome the tough task of Big Japan’s Daisuke Sekimoto. The following night, on night two, he defeated Leon Slater in the quarter finals. Then on night three, which took place today, he defeated Masha Slamovich in the semi finals and Ahura in the finals, to become the 2025 16 Carat Gold winner.

Manders competed at last year’s 16 Carat Gold tournament, where he made it all the way to the semi-finals but lost to the eventual winner of that year’s tournament, Laurance Roman. Manders is also an ACTION Futures Showcase winner and a SCI Tournament winner.
