World Prediction Championship 2021 Event #8 Results

The original card of eight matches, is cut down to seven as Tony Deppen was unable to travel to Los Angeles for the event. In what is very much an experimental night for the World Prediction Championship, our first focus for the event was the Grand Prix Event Championship. The scheduled champion and challengers for Event #9, were the only four ineligible to compete for the championship including reigning champion Juice - which of course means that a new champion is on the cards.

Tied 4th.​	LadyHotRod​	4​	3​	+1​
8th.​	HoHo​	3​	4​	-1​

With just one loss shy of a Perfect Round, Necro proves himself as being on a hot streak as he has been ranked 1st in the last three events (1st Event #6, Tied 1st Event #7 & 1st Event #8) which means that Necro is now a two time WPC Grand Prix Event Champion. If he manages to win the strap for a third time, he will earn himself a future shot at the WPC Grand Championship.

Necro

Event #8 was important, because it was acting as a test event for a potential future tag team division in the WPC. As a tester, three trios were put together based on previous event rankings. The combined results of each team will determine the result of the contest.

Three Way Trios Match
Team Necro: Necro & Sky & Deth vs. Team Juice: Juice & LadyHotRod & Haza vs. Team HoHo: HoHo vs. The Fourth Wall & Chris
​

Trios Match	Name	Wins	Loss	Differential
1st.	Team Necro	15	6	+9
2nd.	Team Juice	14	7	+7
3rd.	Team HoHo	13	8	+5

In an incredible close contest, with the difference between 1st and 3rd being two wins - Team Necro: Necro, Sky & Deth will be immortalised as the first winners of a Trios Match in the WPC.

Our last main focus is a scheduled match between Jeff and Lethal Banks, with both predictor having drawn in Grand Championship matches. The winner of this contest knows, that at a future date they will challenge for the WPC Grand Championship.

​

Future GC Shot	Name	Wins	Loss	Differential
Tied 1st.	Jeff	4	3	+1
Tied 1st.	Lethal	4	3	+1

In a strange turn of events, Jeff and Lethal Banks ended the night tied with the same score. If they were a tag team, perhaps they would be called 'The Draw Kings'. With nothing to split the pair up, perhaps the Championship Committee will allow for these two predictors to face off in the future in a second match. Maybe.

Ahead of Event #9, the WPC has already booked the Grand Championship and Open The Prediction Gate Championship matches, as well as having decided the seeding for the King of the Ring bracket.

The only change is that Necro has now claimed the Grand Prix Event Championship. The overall standings have now been updated, although they don't have a knock on effect on any matches booked for next week's card.

Lmao of course we both tie anyways. Triple threat for the championship I say takeover/summerslam for all the marbles?

 

[Comrade Khan]

The "technically undefeated " Jeff lethal

 

[Comrade Khan]

Oh I see there was no open open prediction gate match here. Cool shit. Fun show too

 

[Just Juice]

You both need to stop drawing, at this rate Necro is going to win the GPE for the third time and leapfrog himself into a title shot, although if you win the OTPG match at Event #9 - you would probably be challenging for the belt anyway.

The life of JK

 

[Comrade Khan]

I mean shit I should be green champion but I keep being put in elimination matches where ppl don't want to go away lol

 

[Just Juice]

just need to change your avatar to Trevor Murdoch.

 

[Lethal]

another draw. My word.

They just can't split us, Jeff.

I like your idea of the triple-threat match for SummerSlam/Takeover.

Congrats to Necro as well.

 

[Just Juice]

I can guarantee at this point - that future title shot, only has one person's name on it. Jeff vs. Lethal II - will have to take place down the road.

 

[Alexa]

I am just impressed I did as well as I did honestly

 

[Lethal]

I can guarantee at this point - that future title shot, only has one person's name on it. Jeff vs. Lethal II - will have to take place down the road.

Think of the RATINGS though

 

[RDK]

I can guarantee at this point - that future title shot, only has one person's name on it. Jeff vs. Lethal II - will have to take place down the road.

It would be Jeff vs Lethal III I'm pretty sure, they had a match at the aew event right?

 

[Lethal]

Yeah, our 5 more minutes match. Which I won
