Can Aron Stevens Lead Blunt Force Trauma to Victory in the 2024 Crockett Cup?
He made them National Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Champions, but can Aron Stevens lead Blunt Force Trauma to victory in the 2024 Crockett Cup? Their opportunity to make history hangs in the balance!
For over nine months, Blunt Force Trauma has held the National Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Titles in a stranglehold.
With manager Aron Stevens at the helm, Damage and Carnage have mowed through the competition with reckless abandon. Though countless teams have stepped to the plate for an opportunity at the gold, each has fallen short in their quest.
“As champions, Blunt Force Trauma has been more dominant than anyone could have imagined,” admits NWA Senior Broadcaster Joe Galli.
“Aron Stevens is undoubtedly a key to their success,” continues Galli, who has called the action during all of BFT’s defenses since winning the titles last August at NWA 75. “Whether because of his ability to strategize, or that damn loaded glove, he’s factored into almost every victory.”
BFT has unquestionably paved a path of destruction through the NWA. However, with the 2024 Crockett Cup looming, notes NWA Official Wrestling Editor-in-Chief Paul E. Pratt, the champions soon enter uncharted territory.
Considered by many authority on a wide array of NWA history, specifically the Crockett Cup, Pratt points out the 2024 tournament offers Stevens’ pairing a chance to become the first reigning NWA World Tag Team Champions to win it all.
“No team to enter the tournament with the belts has ever taken home the Cup,” states Pratt. “The closest any reigning champions have gotten was in 1988 — when Lex Luger and Sting defeated defending champs Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson in the finals.”
At the 2023 Crockett Cup, BFT crushed any hopes La Rebelíon had for making history. They defeated then-champions MechaWolf and Bestia 666 in the semi-finals before falling to eventual winners Mike Knox and Trevor Murdoch in the finale.
“After the tear they’ve been on since that loss, this could be Blunt Force Trauma’s year opines manager-turned-commentator Danny Dealz.
Stevens has BFT running like a well-oiled machine, he says, and they already hold impressive victories over most top competition within the company.
