For three long years, Sierra stood atop Discover Pro Wrestling as the only DPW Champion in history. Her reign wasn’t just lengthy; it was dominant. With 15 title defenses across the Midwest, Sierra faced and conquered every challenger that stepped in her path. She became a symbol of excellence, tenacity, and unshakable determination, defining what it meant to be a champion in DPW.
But at DPW 6: Entry Level Exile, on October 6th, 2024, the unthinkable happened. Paul Virk, the leader of the faction Sentry and a powerhouse both in and out of the ring, did what no one before him could: he dethroned the undisputed queen of DPW.
The stakes couldn’t have been higher. Not only was Sierra’s championship on the line, but Virk's ownership of DPW hung in the balance. It was the perfect storm—two unstoppable forces colliding in front of a capacity crowd at Clyde Iron Works in Duluth, Minnesota.
From the opening bell, the match was a battle of endurance, strength, and willpower. Sierra’s unmatched technical skills clashed with Virk’s brutal power moves, as the DPW faithful roared with every exchange. Sierra, known for her calculated offense and endurance, pushed Virk to his absolute limits. But as the match wore on, Virk’s relentless aggression began to take its toll, even using his authority and turning the match into a no disqualification match at one point.
The turning point came in the closing moments, as Sierra, visibly exhausted but still fighting with the heart of a champion, attempted to seal Virk's fate. But Virk's Sentry brethren would dispatch for the ring and turn the tables on Sierra. Joey Avalon attempted to even the odds, but Sentry was too much to handle for one man alone.
The arena erupted as the three-count was made. Paul Virk had done it. The three-year reign of Sierra, which had seemed unbreakable, was over. Virk, raising the DPW Championship high above his head, had cemented his legacy as the man who ended the greatest title reign in the company’s history.
For Sierra, it was the end of an era, but her legacy remains untarnished. She will forever be remembered as DPW’s first and longest-reigning champion, a trailblazer who set the standard for excellence in the company. As for Paul Virk, this victory marks the beginning of a new chapter. With the title in his hands and control of DPW in his grasp, the future of the company is now firmly in his control.
After the match, as Paul Virk was celebrating his monumental victory, an eerie chill overtook the arena as a "familiar" face was seen on screen, menacingly overlooking the chaos. Fans would recognize this individual as The Wanderer. Alex Riley's violent alter ego... Is The Wanderer on his way to DPW?
What lies ahead for DPW under Virk's reign remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the landscape of DPW has changed forever.
