ACW: Fallout – Part 1: The Return of Keel and the challenge of Playboy!

Absolute Cyprus Wrestling made a powerful comeback with ACW: Fallout at the Satiriko Theater on September 20, 2025, in a show that fired up the crowd from the very first minute! With the ACW Heavyweight Championship at stake, rivalries intensified, new feuds were born, and adrenaline reached its peak.

Pambos Pallikaros leaves for America!

Before the start of Fallout, we saw on the screen the discussion between Pambos Pallikaros and Frixos Masouras, with Pambos telling the ACW General Manager that he demanded a title match or else he would leave for America to chase his dreams. The two men could not reach an agreement, and Pambos took his things and… left!

The big return of Keel

The first part of Fallout began with the moment everyone was waiting for. The crowd started chanting rhythmically “KEEL! KEEL! KEEL!” and after a few seconds, the beloved champion’s music echoed through the theater.

Keel, accompanied by his manager, Andreas Phylactou, took the microphone to address the fans.

He spoke about the events of Breaking Point and the serious injury he suffered that night, revealing that he is now in intensive rehabilitation and giving everything to return soon.

“This is not the end,” he said with determination, promising that he will come back stronger than ever and remain the champion the Cypriots can believe in and support.

Playboy vs Keel – The Tension Rises

Playboy’s music interrupted Keel, with the arrogant nemesis entering the ring to loud boos from the audience. With a microphone in hand, Playboy bragged that at Breaking Point he proved he was the best, that he essentially “ended” Keel’s career, and that it was time for Keel to hand him the title.

The confrontation escalated when Keel grabbed the microphone again and threw down the challenge:

“You want to talk like you own ACW? Prove it! Tonight, you will face my very first opponent in ACW — but be careful, because he’s no longer the same. He’s stronger, more dangerous, and I’ll be in his corner as his manager.

If you beat Ian Storm, you’ll get what you want: a rematch with me for the ACW Heavyweight Championship at the next show. Until then… prove who you are — or shut your mouth.”

The crowd erupted in cheers as Keel raised his cane, pointing it at Playboy, who glared at him furiously.

Ian Storm vs Playboy – The challenge Match

The match was tough, with Ian Storm showing his progress, but in the end Playboy managed to get the win.

After the match, still breathless but full of arrogance, Playboy grabbed the microphone:

“Look at Keel, broken, needing help to walk. Tonight I proved again that I am better than anything ACW has to offer. And listen carefully – in December I will finish you once and for all and I will become the next ACW Heavyweight Champion".

The crowd responded with heavy boos, but before he could continue, the lights dimmed and the big screen lit up…

Maggot’s dark message for Absolution!

Maggot appeared on screen with his familiar dark aura:

“Playboy, you think you’re a contender? You’re a fake hero. I was here from day one. I earned my way to a title shot, and Keel’s injury was your luck. But I don’t rely on luck.

Keel, get ready. In December I’m coming to take what belongs to me. And if I must face BOTH you AND Playboy, so be it. A Triple Threat Match. Me, Playboy and Keel. A long, dark winter awaits you!”

The message cut to black and the crowd exploded. Keel raised the microphone and shouted:

“It’s official. Maggot, Playboy, Keel. Triple Threat at Absolution on December 27!”

Keel’s music hit and the theater shook with cheers.

The thief of the vestments!

Backstage at ACW, Vincent Caravaggio appeared wearing Father Ioannis’ priest vestments, mocking and drawing laughter from the other wrestlers in the locker room.

The atmosphere immediately changed when Father Ioannis stormed in, full of rage. With fiery words, Father Ioannis promised “divine justice” upon Vincent Caravaggio, while loudly praying for the strength to punish the “sinner” inside the ring.

In the match that followed, Vincent Caravaggio did everything he could to humiliate his opponent, even wearing the vestments inside the ring, but Father Ioannis, with the crowd’s energy and fury on his side, prevailed.

Contract Signing for the ACW: Champion of Cyprus!

Next, ACW General Manager Frixos Masouras entered the ring to host the official contract signing for the match for the ACW Champion of Cyprus title. One by one, the four contenders made their entrance.

Jack Pikkas, Monster Chef, Ninja and Neo stepped into the ring. When Frixos officially announced that these four men would fight that very night for the title, Neo grabbed the microphone: “I am the best and tonight I will prove it.”

The crowd reacted loudly, and Pikkas snatched the microphone from his hands:“You want to know who’s the best? JACK PIKKAS!” he shouted, pointing to the fans, who erupted in frenzy.

The tension escalated when Monster Chef took advantage of the moment and pushed Neo into Pikkas, sparking a brawl between them all. ACW security had to intervene to stop the chaos.

Tag Team Action: M2 vs David Adili & Michael May

The first part of ACW: Fallout concluded with a tag team match. Ring announcer Constantinos Psillides prepared the fans:“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Tag Team Match! One of ACW’s main goals is to build a strong and exciting tag team division.”

After this announcement, the music of M2, the team from Athens that scored the very first tag team victory in ACW history, hit. The fans welcomed them warmly, but their task tonight was not an easy one.

Psillides introduced their opponents: two new international athletes who came to Cyprus to prove their worth.

First came David Adili from Germany, and then Michael May from Ireland – whose rebellious spirit and fighting fire thrilled the crowd.

The match was full of intensity with quick exchanges. M2 used their experience and chemistry to maintain control early on, but the determination and passion of Adili and May made the difference.

David Adili and Michael May raised their hands high, sending a clear message that their presence in ACW had just begun – and that the tag team division would be more competitive than ever!

Pambos Enjoying America

After the match, we saw a video from New York, where Pambos Pallikaros appeared happy about his new career chapter, stating that he was eagerly waiting for a phone call either from WWE or TNA for a tryout.
