The long journey of “the Plexorcist” Troy Locke becoming Pro Wrestling Magic Dark Arts Champion culminated with Locke defeating Rico Gold, Smiley, and Dark Arts (and Heavyweight Champion) Azrieal in a ladder match back on June 20, 2026 at Hardwired.
Stepping outside of the Dark Arts Challenge Series and his slow but vicious rise to this point, there is no doubting anyone that Troy Locke is indeed the future of Pro Wrestling Magic.
Now, at All Nightmare Long on August 15, 2026 at the Meadowlands YMCA in East Rutherford, NJ, Locke will be making his first defense of the Dark Arts Championship when he faces the winner of the PWM New Talent Initiative Tournament, JUNIOR FLOW!
A second-generation superstar, Flow won the New Talent Initiative Tournament, which was held on Monday Morning Magic for the first half of the year. He ran through RULLO, Bean Dip Dazza & Rico Gold in a triple threat, and Wade Krueger, replacing an injured Julezee, to become the top of the New Talents and earning a guaranteed shot at the Pro Wrestling Magic Dark Arts Championship.
Both Locke and Flow are very unorthodox performers. The mullet-haired Locke is a suplex machine and throws opponents around with reckless abandon. On the flip side, Flow is a daredevil and throws himself around with reckless abandon.
The real wild cards of this contest will be the allies. Of course, Locke has Junior Heavyweight Champion Vi Daniel watching his back, while Flow is a member of El Pacto Diabolico, led by Locke’s training mate and now rival Mateo Marcelos.
All Nightmare Long is shaping up to be a legendary event for Pro Wrestling Magic. All bets are off. Everything will be locked down. Troy Locke and Junior Flow will have a war for the Dark Arts Title. Will “the Plexorcist” survive his first title defense? Or will the winner of the New Talent Initiative take home another prize in the Dark Arts gold?
Be there on August 15. It will be a legendary event.
