ACW: Rebellion – Intensity, Santos’ Debut and a Tables Match in Part One

ACW: Rebellion took place on September 12, 2026, at Satiriko Theatre, delivering intensity, hard-hitting matches and major developments for the ongoing stories of Absolute Cyprus Wrestling from the very first moments of the show.

The first part of the night featured Ian Storm taking on Keel, the highly anticipated debut of Captain Santos, as well as the first Tables Match in ACW history, with the ACW Championship of Cyprus on the line.

Ian Storm's Last Chance Against Keel

Before the opening match, ACW General Manager Frixos Masouras had a clear message for Ian Storm.

Masouras made it clear that this was an important opportunity for Ian to prove that he deserved his place in ACW, while also warning him that he was about to face one of the most dangerous wrestlers on the roster.

And Keel once again proved exactly why he is considered one of the biggest threats in ACW.

Ian Storm entered the match determined and tried to stand his ground against the former ACW Heavyweight Champion, but in the end, Keel's power and aggression proved to be too much.

Keel managed to destroy Ian Storm, forcing the referee to immediately stop the match and award the victory to the German wrestler.

After the match, referees and security rushed into the ring, while the medical team checked on Ian Storm. Ian eventually managed to get back to his feet on his own before leaving the ring visibly frustrated.

Frixos Masouras Reveals His New “Weapon”

A little later, a backstage video revealed an important new arrival in ACW.

Frixos Masouras was shown speaking to an unidentified man, explaining that he had brought him to ACW for one specific reason: to help him restore order.

The General Manager said that he expected a lot from the new wrestler before finally revealing his identity: Captain Santos!

Santos then made his official ACW debut, with Ninja standing across the ring from him.

In the match that followed, Captain Santos started his ACW journey in the best possible way, defeating Ninja in his very first match.

The question now is exactly what role Santos will play in Frixos Masouras' plans to restore order in ACW.

Historic Tables Match for the ACW Championship of Cyprus

The first part of Rebellion came to an end with one of the most important matches of the night. Pambos Pallikaros had another opportunity to reclaim the ACW Championship of Cyprus from M, this time in a Tables Match.

The rules were simple: there were no pinfalls or submissions. The only way to win was to put your opponent through a table.

In the end, M managed to send Pambos Pallikaros through the table and secure the big victory.

With the win, M retained the ACW Championship of Cyprus and continued his reign as champion.

M left the ring with the championship, while Pambos Pallikaros remained in the ring for a few moments, trying to recover from the brutal match.

And Rebellion Was Far From Over...
