Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling presented by CarShield recap for May 7, 2023

The Mighty Zaddies - now known as "TMZ" (Che Cabrera, Bad Dude Tito, "Hysterical" Shane Haste) - beat Final Destination (Charles "R-Three" Cassus, Bryce Saturn, Evan Daniels) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Jack Farmer interviews TMZ. Bad Dude Tito says they are working like a well-oiled machine after only two matches, with their first giving them gold. After Haste says they are "the wolfiest and the zaddiest of them all," Che Cabrera says that the fans want to see the secret handshake, which they do.

Backstage, Jonny Loquasto is met by "Benevolent" Jack Banning, who says that he is reclaiming his time and calls his triple threat match with Jordan Cruz and Ju Dizz wasted his time and only re-proved his point before demanding that he pick his own opponent. Banning says he wants to beat the man that Cruz beat to win the Television title, and says that "King FatBoy" Papo Esco is a man of respect who has racked up his wins and earned his shot, and says that he is twice his size and that he is a hell of a specimen to make an example out of. Banning also says that when he puts Papo Esco to sleep, Papo Esco will ask why someone who owed him nothing gave him a title shot when a friend of his could not do the same.

Slice Boogie guests on commentary for the next match.

"King FatBoy" Papo Esco beats Cameron Gates. After the match, Slice Boogie hits Cameron Grimes with a few punches followed by a piledriver, and Papo Esco has to persuade him not to hurt Gates further.

Backstage, Danny Limelight talks with Slice Boogie, who says that he is ready to wrestle again. "King FatBoy" Papo Esco walks by and tells Slice he did not have to beat up Cameron Gates like he did after the match and that he had him. Slice reminds Esco that Gates went for his eyes twice and tells him he could not get away with what he did. Esco insists that Slice did not have to go on the attack, but Slice says he wants to put in his own work. Esco walks away, and Limelight proposes to Slice that they make it up to him by going out for drinks.

Invictus Khash beats "The Golden Boy" Jordan Clearwater with a roll-up as Jordan Clearwater goes for the Goldi-Lock. After the match, Clearwater hits Khash in the back with a chair, knocking Khash out as he celebrates in the corner. Clearwater then powerbombs Khash into the chair, then wraps the chair around Khash's neck. Clearwater then stomps the chair before putting Khash in the Goldi-Lock.
