STABLECADE 2025
The competitors at this year's tournament made history by going home a grand total of 5,899 draws lighter! There were 322 wrestlers willing to put it all on the line, with 10 stables that entered at least five and three groups that failed to meet the requirement. Visit the Results page of our website for the complete list of entrants.
When the dust settled, five members of AOD were the only ones left standing (their names are marked with an asterisk). They and the other wrestlers listed below received $100,000 apiece! We congratulate them, and thank everyone who took part this year.
