As current AWF Heavyweight Champion, the Hellhound GABRIEL GALLO prepares for his title defense this Friday at DOMINATION, his competition lurks…. ready for the biggest championship opportunity he’s received in the Arizona Wrestling Federation.

RICKY MANDEL is one of the most accomplished, yet unsung heroes on the Arizona Wrestling Federation roster. Lurking in the shadows, keeping to himself in the locker room, Mandel tends to shy away from the spotlight. However, he is a fierce competitor and no stranger to in-ring success.

Mandel has quietly built up a strong momentum and a solid respect within the competitors of the AWF by defeating and/or taking multiple AWF Stars to the limit, on his rise to his becoming #1 Contender for the AWF Heavyweight Championship. Opponents Mandel’s met along this journey include AWF Stars such as former AWF Heavyweight Champion MIKE CAMDEN; former AWF State & current AWF Tag Team Champion ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE; former AWF State Champion DEVIN SPARKS; SINN BODHI; JACK JAMESON & more.

If Gabriel Gallo looks to retain his championship this Friday at DOMINATION, he will need to match the quickness and cunning of the #1 Contender Mandel. Where Gallo has brute strength, Mandel has speed. Where Gallo has an un-matchable force, Mandel has a supreme technical ability and precision.

Will the sheer power of Gabriel Gallo’s attack be enough to fend off the #1 Contender? Or will the tactical, strategic and meticulous approach of Mandel gain him his first ever AWF Heavyweight Championship?
