Indy INC: Lylah Lodge Dominates At "PoppaMania," Title Changes For ECWA, Rockstar Pro Results, More
"The Powerhouse Princes" Lylah Lodge made a lasting impression on Kandi Jewel when the ladies met in the ring at UCW's PoppaMania event in Union City, Tennessee on June 7. Lodge put Jewel away with a power slam and sealed the deal with a cover for the pinfall victory. "I came, I saw, I destroyed, in true princess fashion," Lodge told WrestlingINC.com. "Kandi Jewel got off easy with just the beating I gave her. I've killed b—-s for less."
Anton Leviegh retained the UCW title after the UCW official lost complete control of his match with Big Red. Scott Steiner joined forces with Sexy Sarge to take on the WMDs and Jay Moore in the main event. Although Steiner and Sarge went into the main event aligned with Becky Biro, the team turned on her at the end of the match and gave her a double suplex in the ring. Amidst the chaos, the referee awarded the match to the WMDs but there are still a lot of loose ends left to tie up as the Biros vie for control for UCW.

ECWA's "Raising the Bar III" show, held at the Boys' and Girls' Club in Newark, Delaware on June 7, was a veritable showcase of some of the most entertaining talents from the promotion's current roster. But of all the noteworthy events on the evening's card, the most significant developments occurred at the very beginning of the show and at it's close. ECWA women's champ Jessie Kaye lost early in the evening, dropping the strap to longtime rival Renee Michelle. Michelle didn't exactly grab the victory on her own, though, as she received a bit of underhanded assistance from Team CK who put Jessie out of action long enough to garner a three-count. The title is a major development in their lengthy feud but there's surely some unfinished business left between these two women.
In the main event, Napalm Bomb, supported by Joel Blackhart, defeated Chris Wylde, Breaker Morant, and Ricky Martinez in a fatal four-way to claim the vacant ECWA title. But mere moments after claiming victory, Bobby Shields made his way to the ring and cashed in his "Golden Opportunity Contract" for a shot at the belt. Napalm Bomb, battle-weary from an epic four-way bout, was unable to meet Shields with any semblance of resistance and after a brief yet devastating flurry of offense from the challenger, Napalm Bomb went down for the three-count and a new champion was crowned.
