As always the road to Aberdeen Anarchy officially begins at the Regal Rumble, on March 21st, 30 wrestlers compete to be the one who main events Aberdeen Anarchy against the Undisputed WrestleZone Champion.
When we walk into the Rich Energy Arena the champion will be Damien, the 2025 winner of The Regal Rumble who shockingly joined forces with Mr P to prize the title from the dominant Caleb Valhalla at Aberdeen Anarchy last year. These guesses are with the assumption that he remains champion by the time May 16th rolls around.
As of writing a slew of names have been confirmed. So let’s wildly speculate on five potential winners of the 15th edition of The Regal Rumble:
5. Mr P
Co-management representative Andrew Reid replaced Monstrum with Mr P after he once again got involved in the decision of a WrestleZone Undisputed Championship match to cost Lost Boy Aspen another chance to become a two time champion at Blootoon Ballroom Blitz in Peterhead.
Despite his current antics, Mr P is a former WrestleZone Tri-Counties, and WrestleZone Tag Team Champion. He also waxes lyrical about his extensive boxing background. There is always a chance that he out manoeuvres and out lasts long enough to be the last man standing. Then what happens? Mr P is all about chaos, in fact he embraces it, so to put the cat among the pigeons and secure the main event of Aberdeen Anarchy would certainly cause the maximum about of chaos.
4. Ronan King
After a long lay off due to injury, Ronan King is back and is out to make up for lost time. There seems to be a lingering issue with The Influence, more specifically Connor Molloy, that might be exacerbated during The Regal Rumble match.
But to put aside that potential, if you look at who could walk out of the Regal Rumble event as Undisputed Champion, Ronan King has a lot of history with both. A showdown with either Damien or Mikkey Vago at Aberdeen Anarchy would be laced with bad blood.
3. Mikkey Vago/Lost Boy Aspen
Two men that are currently embroiled in fighting Mr P’s regime and I can’t separate them in this list. Mikkey Vago has a chance against Damien at the Regal Rumble event, Vago returned at last year’s show following a lengthy absence and ended up being the runner up to Damien on the night. He has been brought into the battle thanks to his tussles with Monstrum. Something in my gut is telling me that Mikkey Vago could be the man standing tall when the dust settles on Saturday either with gold or with a trophy in hand.
Lost Boy Aspen can never escape these lists, he has yet to have a had a fair match against Damien with the Undisputed Championship on the line, a solo win of the Regal Rumble match would give him enough ammunition to call the shots in one final chance to dethrone Damien. On the flip side, if Vago was victorious earlier in the evening, a match up against two men that have been fighting side by side to then go face to face would have some eerie call backs to the last time Aspen stood across the ring with the Undisputed Championship in the balance at Aberdeen Anarchy.
2. Bruiser Brad
With Ryan Riley off on his solo run as WrestleZone Tri-Counties Champion, it leaves Bruiser Brad left to his own devices as scary a prospect that may seem. Brad has outlasted near enough the whole pack in the past with several final four appearances under his belt. However, this is the Beef King, who throws bodies like sacks of tatties. If there was ever a year for Brad to do it, this could be it.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Richard R. Russell had lead a charge into the Regal Rumble and walked out with them etching their name into the history books having lead Shawn Johnson, and even himself, on that path. Imagine how unbearable Russell will be if he does it again to potentially have The Foundation of the Future holding both singles titles in WrestleZone.
1. Umar Mohammed
The Asian Sensation has been my odds on favourite since about Battle of the Nations last year, which could be a blessing or a curse. Umar Mohammed is possibly thee most universally beloved wrestler in WrestleZone right now, and since losing the Tri-Counties Championship at Christmas Chaos to Ryan Riley it has opened up a new path to even greater riches.
With every passing event, Umar Mohammed continues to gather more fans and the thought of him walking into the lions den created by Mr P to face Damien for the Undisputed Championship just screams pure cinema. Umar already created history at Aberdeen Anarchy when he defeated Captain Alan Sterling in 2024 to become the first Pakistani champion in WrestleZone history by lifting the Tri-Counties title. Imagine the sensational scenes when he comes within reach of being once step closer to a Grand Slam.
Umar does have a rematch against Riley at the Regal Rumble event, so there is every chance that he could be looking at being a double champion in May.
