OVWmania Presents: OVW Top 20 (Ed. 90)

This is the OVW Top 20 for the month of July 2018 exclusively on OVWmania. Each category features the champion followed by the top contenders.

TOP 10 SINGLES

#1) "THE MONSTER" ABYSS
RECENTLY: Abyss was a temporary OVW Heavyweight Champion, but not officially in Dean Hill's book. He has promised a campaign of carnage until he gets his hands back on the gold. Who or what could possibly stop this monster?

#2) AMON
RECENTLY: The demon is now a former champion, as giving the title to Abyss meant he vacated it. Will he want the title back for himself, or will he look to sacrifice anyone in Abyss' path to make sure his leader will get it back?

#3) "THE TRINIDAD TITAN" JUSTIN SMOOTH
RECENTLY: Smooth has had numerous obstacles get in his way of the Heavyweight Title. First, it was Ryan Howe, then it was Abyss. Can the Trinidad Titan overcome them all to win his first Heavyweight Championship?

#4) BIG ZO
RECENTLY: It's been Zo-time recently in "Zo-VW". Can Zo defeat Jay Bradley for a second time at the SNS and put himself in the Heavyweight Title picture?

#5) JAY BRADLEY
RECENTLY: Everyone felt the "boom" at the July Saturday Night Special. Jay single-handedly won a 10-man Survivor Series match by himself, but then fell to Zo at an OVW TV taping. He looks to prove that it was a fluke and get one step closer to becoming Heavyweight Champion once again.

#6) BILLY O
OVW TELEVISION CHAMPION/OVW ANARCHY CHAMPION
RECENTLY: The leading man and star of the show made a splash this past month by taking down Sam Thompson & Dapper Dan to win both the Television & Anarchy Championships. Can he make some waves by winning the Vacated Heavyweight Title and being the first ever simultaneous triple title holder?

#7) "WRESTLING'S ROCKSTAR" RYAN HOWE
RECENTLY: Howe's latest performance hasn't charted well. He needs bigger wins and more appearances than a dark match victory over Chace Destiny to get back in the Heavyweight Title hunt.

#8) "THE MAN" DAPPER DAN
RECENTLY: Dapper Dan falls after losing the Anarchy Title, thanks in part to Tony Gunn. Will he be able to shoot through Gunn and get the title back from Billy O?

#9) "THE EMPIRE STATE GOLIATH" CARDINAL
RECENTLY: Cardinal has been tearing through the competition recently. How long before he gets recognized and gets into a title hunt?

#10) "THE REAL DEAL" RANDALL FLOYD
RECENTLY: Floyd wants to prove that his ascension to the top wasn't a stroke of luck. He will look to climb back up the rankings by taking down both members of the Entourage 2.0 at the SNS.

MISSING THIS WEEK'S CUT:
Sam Thompson

TOP 5 TAG TEAMS

#1) "THE BRO GODZ": COLTON CAGE & DUSTIN JACKSON
OVW SOUTHERN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
RECENTLY: These bros are on top, but know it's not going to be easy to stay there. If they can successfully hit Crimson again (or Jax Dane) with the Snapshot, then they will remain champs and on top of the tag team division!

#2)"THE WAR KINGS": CRIMSON & JAX DANE
RECENTLY: The War Kings made it clear that they are in OVW to take off heads and become OVW Southern Tag Team Champions. They will look to do just that against the Bro Godz at the SNS!

#3) "THE VOID": CHACE DESTINY, HOUDINI, & NIGEL
RECENTLY: They have had some recent success when in tag action. Question is, will they be able to repeat that success against top teams like the Bro Godz or War Kings?

#4) "THE ENTOURAGE 2.0": DL3 & SHILOH JONZE
RECENTLY: DL3 would like to rewrite the script after winning the OVW Southern Tag Team Titles, only to lose them 4 nights later following the July SNS. Now their attention is on Randall Floyd, whom they will face in a handicap match.

#5) "THE ELITE": ADAM REVOLVER & TED McNALER
RECENTLY: The Elite has not been able to get the better of Eddie Knight or Sam Thompson. Has their time as one of the top tag teams in OVW passed them by?

TOP 5 FEMME FATALES

#1) JAYLEE
 OVW WOMEN'S CHAMPION
RECENTLY: Jaylee took back the Women's Title and has developed quite a mean streak, but will it be enough against the surprise return of Rebel?

#2) REBEL
RECENTLY: Having traveled all over the world, Rebel returned to OVW to put Jaylee on notice. She is coming for the Women's Title at the SNS!

#3) VALERIE VERMIN
RECENTLY: Valerie has had a recent win streak, gaining some wins over current champion Jaylee. Will she get another shot at the title?

#4) MEG
RECENTLY: Meg has been working her way up in the Women's division, but has recently been sidetracked by her friend Cali. Are they still even friends after Cali hit her in the face and got mad at her for throwing in the towel at the last SNS?

#5) CALI
RECENTLY: Cali has been so focused on Jaylee and getting back the Women's Title, that she might have also lost a friend in the process.
