Internet Exclusive Pre-show Match
WWA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Colin Delaney def. Evan Bourne (10:26)
In a match that sadly was not able to make the main card for WWA 3, the newest WWA athlete Colin Delaney defeated Evan Bourne to become the first WWA Light Heavyweight Champion, catching the high-flier off guard with a sunset flip. The new title comes as part of the WWA divisional reallignment, which will be announced during the main show.
WWA 3
Second Chance
November 18, 2009
WWA Commissioner Dean Malenko began the show from the ring, announcing the divisional reallignment in WWA which took place over the weekend. The efforts, as Malenko explained, were made to make interdivisional matches make more sense in WWA, as they will help determine contenders for the new Pound-for-Pound World Championship of the WWA, which he awarded to Jack Swagger. The divisional re-allignment goes as follows:
WWA SECOND CHANCE TOURNAMENT RD. 1: Edge def. Charlie Haas (6:24)
It became obvious very quickly that the "Rated R Superstar" was not playing games with the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Athlete." Edge took control of the match early by tossing Haas shoulder-first into the ring post and then continued to work the shoulder throughout the match before finally planting him to the mat with a quick spear to claim victory and move on to the second round of the Second Chance tournament.
WWA SECOND CHANCE TOURNAMENT RD. 1: Randy Orton def. John Cena (10:11)
A much less one-sided match, the second of two first round matches pitted "The Viper" against "The Champ," but it was "The Viper" who advanced, able to reverse Cena's Attitude Adjustment into a sick RKO. Cena seemed to have dominated the match, but Orton did just enough offense to keep in before striking with the finisher. The sadistic Orton had to be pushed from the ring as he stood over Cena post-match, enjoying his handy work.
Backstage, Commissioner Malenko welcomed the newest members to the WWA roster: Matt Hardy and D'Angelo Dinero in the welterweight division, and Hurricane Helms in the light heavyweight division. He explained that their signings were a huge part of the divisional reallignment as they wanted to give more people a chance at championships.
WWA SECOND CHANCE TOURNAMENT RD. 2: William Regal def. Shelton Benjamin (12:43)
In an epic back-and-forth technical battle, the "Real Man's Man" prevailed over the "Gold Standard." The wily veteran Regal had a reversal or counter for every move the Benjamin offered, but the younger, more agile Shelton was able to show his fair share of counters off as well. Finally, Regal picked up the victory after a momentary distraction from Paul Burchill on Benjamin and the referee allowed Regal to gouge the eyes of Benjamin and bring him to the mat for an STF.
WWA SECOND CHANCE TOURNAMENT RD. 2: Edge def. Randy Orton (8:34)
In another impressive victory for the "Rated R Superstar," Edge hit Orton with a spear as he entered the ring and never looked back. "The Viper" had long played the victim early in matches, allowing his opponent to grow tired, but Edge did not. He continued to look as fierce as before as he beat Orton into the mat, finishing him off with a stiff Edgecution DDT. But there was no rest for Edge, as almost immediately after his arm was raised in victory, his next opponent stormed the ring and our semifinal match was underway...
WWA SECOND CHANCE TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL: William Regal def. Edge (14:23)
The match-up to see who would face off against World Championship tournament finalist MVP went to the final minute as the two most impressive victors of the night squared off. Regal's plan to catch Edge immediately after the match worked, as he clearly was worn tired from his battle with Orton and with Haas earlier in the night. Both men had near-falls, but it was Regal who locked Edge into the STF late in the match for a surprise submission victory.
Backstage, Brent Musberger tried to interivew MVP about the night's main event championship match, now determined to be himself against William Regal, but he was quickly interrupted by Jack Swagger. Swagger took the microphone and performed the interview, asking MVP if he was ready for his literal "second chance" at Heavyweight gold. MVP, warning Regal that he was ready, said he would not miss out on this opportunity a second time, and would be the new WWA Heavyweight Champion tonight.
NON-TOURNAMENT HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH: Paul Burchill def. David Hart Smith (9:22)
It was an impressive debut for the "Canadian Bulldog," David Hart Smith, but with a shot at Jack Swagger on the line, "The Ripper" struck fast and hard against his new opponent. Smith looked to have taken permanent control of the match entering the ninth minute, but as he lifted Burchill up on his shoulders for the running powerslam, the Brit slipped off and then connected with the Twisted Sister! He then locked in Royal Mutilation, and Smith had no choice but to tap out.
Commentators Joey Styles and Matt Striker announced at WWA 4, we would be seeing the official weigh-in for the first title defense by World Champion Jack Swagger against Paul Burchill. Also, Matt Hardy and D'Angelo Dinero will make their WWA debuts in Welterweight division action while Christian and Chris Jericho do battle for a title shot against Santino Marella. Also, Tyson Kidd takes on Hurricane Helms in Light Heavyweight action, and the first ever WWA interdivisional matches!
WWA SECOND CHANCE TOUR. FINALS/HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: William Regal def. MVP (12:26)
Every mistake that Regal made against the brawler in their last meeting, he used to his advantage this time around. The opportunistic Brit took advantage of every opening that WWA's Most Valuable Player gave him, and it ended up being the difference in the match. While both men saw nearfalls go their way, it was another miss by MVP which proppelled Regal to victory. When Regal dodged the Drive-by kick, he nailed MVP with a knee lift that appeared to knock him out! Regal quickly pinned his adversary for a surprise victory. Jack Swagger, who had watched the match from the announce booth, walked to the ring as Commissioner Malenko awarded Regal with the title. Swagger stared down Regal and Burchill as they celebrated their victory.

The divisional re-allignment goes as follows:
- Athletes under 224 pounds will now compete for the WWA Light Heavyweight Championship, which was decided in a pre-show match between Colin Delaney and Evan Bourne.
- Athletes weighing between 225 and 240 pounds will now compete for the WWA Welterweight Championship. This division is simply a re-named version of the title that Santino Marella won at WWA 2. He will continue to represent the division as its champion.
- Athletes weighing over 240 pounds will compete for the WWA Heavyweight Championship. The championship will be awarded to the winner of the Second Chance tournament.
- For winning the opening tournament, Jack Swagger will be awarded the new Pound-for-Pound World Championship of the WWA. This is the highest honor in the WWA and can be defending against stars in all divisons.
