On June 7, 2019, Aleksander Vachon defeated Bully Demise in an Iron Man match, which ended his lengthy reign as champion. This shocking loss came the night after the inaugural Crossfire event, where Demise managed to retain the Intercontinental Championship, as well as winning the United Kingdom Championship.
