VSNext up on this stacked card is a six man tag pitting one of the most hated stables in AAW against three of CHIKARA's finest when the AAW Heritage Champion Arik Cannon and the Northstar Express take on Gran Akuma, Jigsaw and Hallowicked. Ever since their AAW debut in July of 2007 "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon and the Northstar Express of Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz have been a force to be reckoned with. Cannon is the reigning Heritage Champion and is coming off a huge win over Shane Hollister at this years "Scars and Stripes" in a Stairway to Hell match. Corbin and Cruz are former two time AAW Tag Team champs and have been involved in some of the most legendary matches in the companies history. The CHIKARA trio bring international experience and some unorthodox offense to the table. However, there is dissention within this team coming in as Gran Akuma betrayed Mike Quackenbush and his CHIKARA brethren at Dragon Gate USA's "Enter the Dragon" PPV and has aligned himself with Yamamoto. Akuma will team with Yamamoto to take on Quack and Jigsaw on Sunday at the Dragon Gate USA show and one has to wonder if he can coexist with his partners at AAW on Saturday night. Expect a fast paced and action filled contest here as all six men look to make a good showing with the eyes of the entire wrestling community on Chicago this weekend. Cannon and the Northstars are undefeated in six man matches in AAW but have never faced a challenge like this. Exciting action for sure in this one.

VSAs if the card was not stacked enough here we have a one on one match between two of the hottest prospects on the indies today. Shiima Xion at the age of 23 has already sharpened his skills across the globe. He is coming off a very successful run down in Mexico for AAA and just returned to the states after a tour in Japan. Johhny Gargano is a Cleveland area stand out who has been turning heads on the independent scene recently winning the first FRAY! match in Dragon Gate USA in Philly. Both of these men will compete Sunday in the FRAY! but will first lock horns at AAW on Saturday. Both men have been in AAW before so they know what to expect and both are looking for a big win here as they have both signed on for more dates with the company. Look for innovative wrestling here as these two arrogant youngsters look to make a statement during the biggest wrestling weekend of the year.
