BCW74 – Match Announcement 1

Our first official match announcement for BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING 74: 10th ANNIVERSARY SHOW is a BCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP STEEL CAGE MATCH featuring the newly crowned Champion, JOHNATHAN PRESTON (c) versus the 2026 Battle Rumble Winner, MADDOG!

JOHNATHAN PRESTON’s destiny was finally fulfilled as he won the missing piece of his Triple Crown Championship, when defeating BLUE DEMON JR for the BCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP at BCW 73. Since winning the 2025 Battle Rumble, THE AUSTRALIAN PSYCHOPATH has waited for his moment to capture the highest Gold in the Battle Kingdom, defeating opponent after opponent before being curtailed by his most recent foe. The stars are now aligned, and BLUE DEMON JR is a hindrance of the past while PRESTON is Champion!

Enter CRAZY CANINE MADDOG, who himself is a Triple Crown Champion and the most recent Battle Rumble winner after last eliminating the sneaky This Guy. No stranger to hard times, MADDOG now has an opportunity to reclaim the Gold he once held for over 500 days which he lost in the most precarious of circumstances in a Steel Cage Match against Gabriel Wolfe back at BCW 38 almost seven years ago. MADDOG has yet to win a Steel Cage Match in BATTLE CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING!

At the end of MADDOG’s victory at BCW 73, THE PATRICK BATES OF THE BATTLE KINGDOM made his intentions clear, namely that he was going to put the dog down. Not one to back away, MADDOG welcomed the challenge and offered a Steel Cage, now here we are with violence of the highest order on the menu.

On Friday 4 December 2026 will JOHNATHAN PRESTON retain the BCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP he has finally captured OR will MADDOG become the first ever two-time BCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ten years after inception?
