Zabi's VIPER was the #1 Contender in the Gold Division this week and challenged Skrface13's BLANKA for the Grand Champion. Zabi won the match 2 sets to 1. Zabi's VIPER was the Grand Champion earlier this season when he captured the title foloowing a Prize Match victory earned at the Survivor Series event. He lost the title to Skrface in the 2nd round of the Fall Brawl tournament.
What makes this matchup more interesting is that Skrface exercised his Rematch Clause immediately following their first match. Skrface earned a Rematch Clause as a result of winning the Gold Division Fall Brawl tournament. Zabi was able to win the Rematch with Skrface by a count of 2 sets to 0.
Congrats to Zabi's VIPER for becoming the 3rd second-time Grand Champion of the SFCCL. Now the race is on for the first-time ever 3-time Grand Champion!
