ICW Heat Index: Iron Way Wrap-Up

Posted on September 19, 2025

As the dust settles on The Iron Way, Iron City Wrestling closes its first chapter with blood on the canvas and gold around new waists. With champions crowned and grudges still smoldering, we take stock of who’s burning hottest in the Foundry right now. This is the Heat Index.


1. Todderick Davenport III (Iron Crown Champion)

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (5/5)

Nobody ended Arc One with more heat than TD3. The self-styled Trust Fund prince didn’t just survive Graysie Parker — he stole the Iron Crown and stamped his name in the record books. Backed by his Grapplerz, his wealth, and his arrogance, Davenport is now the center of ICW’s storm, whether the fans like it or not (and they don’t).

2. Graysie Parker (WrestleZone Champion)

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (4/5)

The Foundry faithful may not be chanting her name tonight, but they’re not forgetting her either. Graysie fought through every obstacle ICW threw at her, only to see her reign stolen at The Iron Way. Still, she walks out with the WrestleZone Championship in her grasp and the fans squarely behind her.

3. Jack Havok (Television Champion)

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (4/5)

Blood, concrete, and chaos — Havok thrived in the Parking Lot Brawl against Clovis Black and walked out the very first ICW Television Champion. The Outlaw’s aura of violence has only grown since his debut, and with gold around his waist, he’s officially the most dangerous man in the building.

4. Rich Young Grapplerz (Tag Team Champions)

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (4/5)

Jacoby Jacobs and Darian Darrington cheated, clawed, and connived their way through the Tag Team Tournament — and with TD3 at their side, they pulled off the hostile takeover at The Iron Way. They’re despised, they’re smug, and they’re champions.

5. Jesse “Iron Kid” Collins

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (4/5)

Every story needs a heart, and ICW found one in Jesse Collins. The Iron Kid shocked the world at ICFC 1.2, upset Eric Dane Jr., then doubled down by defeating “Superstar” Sammy Starr on the biggest night in ICW history. The fans are riding shotgun on his rise.

6. Astrid Reichert

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (3/5)

From reluctant tag partner to ruthless survivor, Astrid put the exclamation point on her Arc One with a brutal No Holds Barred victory over Duchess Vaughn. She’s proven herself as the most dangerous woman in ICW, and the crowd knows her edge cuts both ways.

7. Reinas de Sangre (Celestina & Valeria Cruz)

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (3/5)

One night. One match. One statement. The Cruz sisters stormed into ICW at ICFC 1.4 and dismantled their opposition like it was nothing. Cold, calculated, and cruel, the Reinas de Sangre instantly positioned themselves as predators in the women’s division.

8. Eric Dane Jr.

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (3/5)

The son of the Only Star has made enemies fast, none bigger than the New Untouchables. At The Iron Way, Jr. stared down a three-headed monster and didn’t blink. Love him or hate him (and the crowd does both, loudly), Jr. is knee-deep in a war that promises to define his arc to come.

9. Sunny Holliday

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (3/5)

With two wins in her first two outings, Sunny brought pure energy into the Foundry. She’s the bright counterpoint to ICW’s otherwise violent landscape, but don’t let the smile fool you — the Sunshine Bomb is as real as it gets.

10. “Superstar” Sammy Starr (w/ Ricky Dale Cash)

Heat Meter: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ (2/5)

He’s obnoxious, arrogant, and a magnet for boos — and yet, nobody can stop talking about him. Starr lost to Jesse Collins at The Iron Way, but he walked out with Ricky Dale Cash in his corner and twice the spotlight. In wrestling, heat matters as much as wins, and Starr generates it like few others.


Closing Thoughts

Arc One proved that Iron City Wrestling isn’t a dream — it’s a warzone. Titles changed hands, grudges deepened, and new stars rose from the smoke. But if Arc One forged the steel, Arc Two is where it gets hammered into shape.

The fire’s only getting hotter.
