Shelley, Dutt, & Sabin got their shots at CMLL's World Trios Titles tonight, but Atlantis was able to pull it off for his team in the 3rd fall to retain their titles in what has been said to be by far the best match of the night.

Ultimo Guerrero is still demanding a Mask vs. Hair match with Alex Shelley. The following are the full results...

AIW sent this in:
On July 12, 2008 Drake Younger defeated Nick Gage in a "Tangled Web" Death match for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship, making him a dual champion as he currently also holds the CZW Ultra Violent Underground Championship. Drake has now been champion for just over 3 months and has been one of the most fighting Champions the company has ever seen, defending the belt all over the United States.
As of today, Thursday September 18th, 2008 Absolute Intense Wrestling is proud to announce that AIW Absolute Owner Chandler Biggins and Combat Zone Wrestling have come to terms on having the Combat Zone Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship defended this Sunday September 21st at AIW's "Die Another Day" in Cleveland, Ohio. Just hours after Absolute intense Wrestling announced the Strong Style Dream Match between former Absolute Champ Vincent Nothing and current CZW World Heavyweight Champion "The Psycho Shooter" Drake Younger, Chandler Biggins received a phone call from CZW management and wheels were put in motion to raise the stakes even higher and make it a CZW World Heavyweight Championship Match. The prestigious CZW World Heavyweight Championship has been held by over 30 top level athletes since Combat Zone Wrestling's inception in 1999, the likes of Chris Hero, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Eddie Kingston, Ruckus, and Super Dragon are all former champions and the belt has been defended all over the globe including defenses in Japan, Mexico, England, Italy, and Ireland.
The match between Vincent and Drake will be not only for the title, but be under Strong Style rules. That means the title can change hands on Knock Out, Submission or Pinfall. There are no count outs or DQ's. While the stakes are far higher for both, this could be a career match for Vincent Nothing. Vincent Nothing is no stranger to Philly area fans and could end up leaving AIW with the CZW Title. Could this be Vincent's big moment? Or will it be another successful title defense on Drake Younger's Championship history?
Tickets are available RIGHT NOW on the newly revamped AIWrestling.com!
ALSO: A man that that's been taking over CZW, IWA:MS and Chikara recently, Sami Callihan will be making an impact on "Die Another Day" with his partner Matt Riot. Former AIW Tag Champs, The Switchblade Saints have requested to be added to the show. What will they be doing? Will they once again leave with AIW gold?

NEW MATCH ADDED TO "DIE ANOTHER DAY"
We're proud to announce an added bonus attraction to "Die Another Day". Revelation 13 exploded at Absolution 3, when Faith In Nothing & Mad Man Pondo beat Matthew Justice, "The Passion" John Thorne and Drake Younger. During the match however, Vincent Nothing didn't really get a chance to square off with Drake Younger. The feelings still linger from that match and Vince has issued a challenge that was quickly accepted. "The Psycho Shooter" Drake Younger known worldwide and the current CZW World Heavyweight Champ is known in AIW as a hardcore wrestler. Well, in this contest Vince and Drake have agreed to a "Strong Style Match" and Drake has promised to leave the light tubes at home. Will Drake keep his word? Or will the hard feelings from "Absolution 3" linger and cause Revelation 13 to explode again?

-TYLER BLACK ANSWERS MIKE TOLAR'S CHALLENEGE!
In this 12th appearance in AIW, Tyler Black isn't challenging for the Intense Title like he had hoped. Instead, he answer an open challenge from Mike Tolar. Tolar who debuted in February of this year, has been stuck in a feud with Chris Cronus and Marion Fontaine, felt closure at Absolution 3 when he beat them. Now he's looking to make an impact in singles, by challenging one of the top dogs in AIW, Tyler Black. Tyler who held The Intense Title for over a year, is looking to regain his ground as one of the dominant men in AIW. Will Tolar make the impact he's looking for? Or will International Superstar, Tyler Black be one step closer to being on top again?
-ABSOLUTE CHAMP STERLING JAMES KEENAN VS. ?????????
In what is becoming a yearly September tradition, The Absolute Champ will meet a mystery opponent. SJK who has defended the title twice against Al Snow and Dios Salvador, will be looking to defend it a third time and figure out a way to win, without even knowing who he is facing. The man or woman won't be named until the night of the show, so SJK has nothing to go on. Will SJK be able to regain the title once again? And who exactly is this mystery person?
-JOHNNY GARGANO'S FIRST INTENSE TITLE DEFENSE!
After a grueling 30 minute Iron Man Match with Tyler Black at Absolution 3, Johnny Gargano fulfilled his destiny and won the Intense Title. Gargano faces a huge challenge in his first defense against Former AIW Tag Champ, Shiima Xion. Xion who's been trying to recover from a series of losses since his tag title run in 2005, has a lot to prove in this match. Will Gargano, who's been undefeated since his AIW return be able to keep his streak alive by beating Shiima Xion? Or will Shiima finally get over his losing streak and win AIW gold once again?
-STUDENT VS. TEACHER: DIOS SALVADOR VS. JOSH PROHIBITION!
In one of the most personal conflicts in AIW history, Josh Prohibition in 2008 has taken it upon himself to discipline his former student, Dios Salvador. Josh and Dios have had problems before, headlining the first ever AIW event in May of 2005. But this time, Josh has said he's embarrassed by Dios and he will teach him respect the hard way. Dios feels like Josh turned his back on him along time ago and at Absolution 3, cost him his final Absolute Title shot against SJK. This is the first time the men will get their hands on each other in a one-on-one environment. Needless to say, emotions will be strong in this one.
-THE YOUNG STUDS CASH IN THEIR TAG TEAM TITLE SHOT!
Following an insane TLC match at Absolution 3, The Young Studs won an AIW Tag Title shot. The Studs are wasting no time in cashing it in, and the new Alpha Beta Duke tag team combination of Nick Belushi and "KegStand" Carlton Kaz will defend the titles against them. The Young Studs met Alpha Beta Duke once before at Hell On Earth 3 and came up on the short end, but this time, The Studs are on a winning streak. Will Alpha Beta Duke be able to defend the tag titles they just won? Or will the Young Studs finally capture AIW gold?
-TEAM SEXY CHALLENGE ANY WOMAN IN WRESTLING!
After Hailey Hatred And Mickie Knuckles shook hands and both attacked Team Sexy at Absolution 3, Rebis & The Potato are still angry at women. Team Sexy has sent out an open challenge to any woman in wrestling for a handicap match. With Mickie Knuckles injured and Hailey Hatred touring Japan, exactly who will answer the challenge is up in the air. But Team Sexy has promised they will prove that woman have no place in AIW or wrestling for that matter.
-DA LATIN CRIME SYNDICATE VS. THE HOMELESS HANDICAP CONNECTION - GRUDGE MATCH
Following the TLC match at Absolution 3 with the Young Studs, both of these teams were left in dust while The Studs get a title shot. Both of these teams dislike each other, but more important than that want a shot at AIW Gold, so both were be wrestling for personal and professional reasons. Da Latin Crime Syndicate will stop at nothing to win, even using illegal tactics, to beat the underdog team of Hobo Joe & Gregory Irons. Will it be enough to win and possibly get a title shot? Or will the underdogs pull off an upset?
-THE INTENSE DIVISION SCRAMBLE RETURNS!
After a great scramble during Absolution 3, it will again return at "Die Another Day". All of the participants are looking for possible Intense Title shots.
The Participants are:
-Michael "The Bomber" Facade
-Zac Vincent
-Matthew Justice
-Marion Fontaine
-THE THRILLBILLY RETURNS FROM HIS CONCUSSION!
After a brutal chair shot that destroyed the chair at Destroy Everything! in March, The Thrillbilly got a severe concussion. Because of this, he was forced to sit out of Absolution 3. Agent Aaron Bauer has promised that "The Old Thrillbilly" will return at Die Another Day. This would likely mean the Thrillbilly that sent the Rude Boy away in an ambulance, that almost forearmed Rebis's face off and The Thrillbilly that caned Tyrone Evans into submission. Needless to say, AIW will be shook to its core, if this Thrillbilly would indeed return.
