The very next day, Garzya would field the challenge of former WWE NXT:UK star Jakk Sellstøm.
The contest was a heated back-and-forth affair with Garzya eking out a victory after a low blow. The controversial win only added fuel to the fire as fans debated whether Garzya's tactics were fair or foul. Despite the controversy, Garzya's reign as champion was off to a tumultuous start.
Celebrating by attempting to injure Sellstrøm, Garzya would raise the ire of one Ietyn Rees. The mastodon from the UK would come to Jakk's aid and challenge Garzya for the title, right there and then! Being a rather unpopular champion both backstage and in front of house, Garzya was forced into the match by Pro Wrestling Cyprus management. In the quickest bout in PWC and maybe wrestling history, Rees would crush Garzya in record time.
