Awakening (2019)

Awakening 2019 is the eighth event to be promoted under the Awakening name (the fifth for XAWA), and the first supercard of the 2019 season. The main event saw Taven defend the XAWA World Heavyweight Championship against El Loco Rojo.

Background
The main feud on the card was that between Taven and El Loco Rojo, who had inserted himself in the XAWA World Heavyweight Championship match at Laid to Rest in October, a match that also featured The Alien. While Rojo did not win that match, he was not involved in the decision, leading to this rematch for the title one-on-one.

The main feud on the undercard was the feud between The Alien, The Ogre and Rapteed, who had debuted at Laid to Rest using Nightmare as a vessel. The Alien and The Ogre could not take him down seperately, so they challenged him to a two-on-one handicap Last Man Standing match at Awakening.

Blackheart was also involved with his long-standing feud with Sgt. Dowell. Dowell was not present for Awakening, but Blackheart did win the XAWA Hardcore Championship from The Ogre on the April 4 edition of Worldwide. After winning the title, Cyrus Mason told Blackheart to "save some for [him]." This resulted in Mason and Blackheart being pitted against each other for Awakening.

Also on the undercard, Connor Jackson made his return to the XAWA after being held hostage in a basement on duty as a bounty hunter. Following dispatching his kidnappers, he received a call from a mystery person (later revealed to be Deacon Storm) that there was another job ready for him.
