Current WPW Tag Team Champion (with Bobby Schink)
AJ Sanchez defeated Tyler Colton at PAIN ACTUALLY (Dec 12 2019) to become the first WPW Champion.
He would defend the WPW Championship against Marz the Specialist, Zicky Dice, Mo Jabari, Kody Lane before finally being de-throned by Bobby Schink in 2023. Sanchez began mentoring rookie Chad Daniels during his WPW Championship run, making "Sweet" Bobby's life a living hell. After Sanchez lost the WPW Championship his mentorship of Chad Daniels began to wain, with Daniels getting increasingly more disrespectful. It would culminate in Daniels kicking Sanchez in the groin, ending their partnership.
Sanchez and Daniels meet for the first time in a match at the first RUMBLE IN THE BURT, with Daniels eeking out the victory. Over the next 5 months it was a cat and mouse game for the two, with both men costing each other matches in the VOYAGEUR CUP Tournament. At WRECK ROOM 2 Chad again escaped the wrath of the Canadian Crusher, but Sanchez would challenge Daniels to a dog collar match at the Manitoba Museum.
Sanchez would get the win, ending their storied rivalry. Later in the night, Bobby Schink was victorious over ATM and WPW GM James Korba. After the match ATM and Korba began assaulting Schink, when AJ Sanchez would make the save. Sanchez and Korba are no strangers, with Korba being a thorn in the side of Sanchez since WPW's inception. Schink would reject the help of AJ Sanchez, given their past feud, and was insistent that he could take ATM and Korba out on his own. Little did Schink OR Sanchez know: ATM and Korba were about to unite wrestling when they brought in CWE Owner Danny Duggan. The three of them, branded "UNITY" would make life a living hell for Schink and Sanchez, until local legend VINKO would return to bring the two together.
Finally on the same page, Schink and Sanchez would defeat ATM and Duggan at RUMBLE IN THE BURT 2.
After their big victory at the Burt they would go onto challenge for the WPW Tag Team Championship at COLD OUT 3, getting the win over the Prosperity Gospel.
AJ Sanchez would face his tag team partner in the semi-finals of the 2025 VOYAGUER CUP. It was a hard hitting contest, with both men wanting to be the VOYAGUER CUP Champion and headline RUMBLE IN THE BURT 3. Fans thought there may be bad blood after the match, but luckily the Winnipeg Humane Society was on hand to bring in French Bulldog Gordon and cooler heads would prevail. There's nothing like a dog to bring people together!
