CADE CARSON VS. ZANE VALERO
NOV. 13, 2021
Since his debut more than a year earlier, Zane Valero was winless in Lions Pride Sports. In that time, he transformed physically, mentally and emotionally, gaining a greater level of fan support. Still, he had no wins heading into Here to Stay. Plus, he had rejected (via chair shots) an invitation to be "mentored" by Mike Dell and Cade Carson in filling the open spot in their treacherous Trifecta group. Carson sought revenge for Valero's rejection. Zane sought a first victory.

Having gotten byes into the quarterfinals of the Lions Den Championship Invitational Tournament, four men would face off in Navasota in tag team action. For The Trifecta's Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo, it was an opportunity to put a turbulent period behind them. For The Mountain and Zane Valero, it would take putting a mutual dislike for each other behind them to find success. Who would gain momentum in the quest to become the first Lions Den Champion?

AUG. 28, 2021
Early on in Clash at Caldwell 3, Mike Dell declared he wanted a shot at Drake Durden's Lions Pride Sports Championship. Dell and his proteges in The Trifecta proceeded to beat down the champ, but were stopped by Mathayus. A three-on-two tag match was booked for later in the night.
THE TRIFECTA VS. MATHAYUS, KOOL DADDI DENZELL & SHIMBASHI
JULY 24, 2021
An exciting six-man tag team match-up at the Unbreakable event featured the treacherous trio known as The Trifecta. Mike Dell, Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo had worked as a well-oiled machine for six months coming into the contest with three of the most popular wrestlers to come out of The Lions Den Training Facility. Would Mathayus, Kool Daddi Denzell and Shimbashi be able to score a major victory in their respective careers?

LANCE ARCHER & DRAKE DURDEN VS. THE TRIFECTA
APR. 24, 2021
All Elite Wrestling's Lance Archer returned to Lions Pride Sports for the first time since September 2019. The opponent of "The Murderhawk Monster" was the current top giant of The Pride, Drake Durden. This match-up of two former champions in the promotion would feature plenty of chaos and surprises, both during and after the battling was done.

MAR. 27. 2021
Mike Dell, Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo have turned Lions Pride Sports into a violent playground. The Trifecta's challenge at the start of King of the Pride, Part 2 became another encounter with The Mountain and a first time meeting with Reality of Wrestling's Tommy Bolton on his birthday. Would "The Brute" celebrate his big day with a win with the 500-pounder, or would Carson and Chulo score a tag team victory?
THE TRIFECTA VS. DRAKE DURDEN & THE MOUNTAIN
FEB. 27, 2021
After forming at January's Surrounded event, Mike Dell, Cade Carson and Chavy Chulo were in action for the first time together at February's Battle in Bryan 3. The Trifecta's opponents were a pair of giants each attacked by the trio at the previous event: The Mountain and Drake Durden.
CADE CARSON VS. DRAKE DURDEN
LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
JAN. 30, 2021
For months, they reigned as the unprecedented co-champions of Lions Pride Sports, but the aftermath has been tense and violent between Cade Carson and Drake Durden. Carson aggressively dissolved the partnership, misguidedly blaming Durden for the title loss. Now, Cade has hitched his career to Mike Dell. Would that new vision pay dividends in a last man standing match, or would the near-seven-footer exact the ultimate revenge?
CADE CARSON ADDRESSES DRAKE DURDEN AND “DRAKE DURDEN”
DEC. 19, 2020
With Drake Durden unable to compete in the scheduled "I Quit" match at Winter Warfare II, Cade Carson took the opportunity to address his former Lions Pride Sports co-champion. When Durden's music hits, though, things take a turn.
CADE CARSON VS. DRAKE DURDEN
AGGIELAND STREET FIGHT
NOV. 7, 2020
They were the Lions Pride Sports Co-Champions. By most estimates, they were destined for a lengthy stretch of domination, but at September's Reboot event, Cade Carson and Drake Durden lost the title to Nobe Bryant. Though his miscues clearly cost the team their reign, Carson was the one who attacked Durden post-match. Their union dissolved, Carson and Durden would seek to unleash hell upon each other in an Aggieland Street Fight at Full Speed Ahead.
CADE CARSON & DRAKE DURDEN (C) VS. NOBE BRYANT
LIONS PRIDE SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP
SEPT. 5, 2020
At Reboot, the unprecedented co-champions of Lions Pride Sports defended their title against the man they defeated for the belt. Would the reign of Cade Carson and Drake Durden continue, or would Nobe Bryant score a victory in this handicap rematch and become just the second man to hold the biggest prize in The Pride twice?
NOBE BRYANT (C) VS. CADE CARSON & DRAKE DURDEN
LIONS PRIDE SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP
FEB. 29, 2020
Nobe Bryant faced plenty of tough challenges on route to the Lions Pride Sports Championship, and winning the title didn't make things any easy. Perhaps no challenge was as daunting as the one he accepted from Cade Carson and Drake Durden. Would Bryant continue a lengthy reign, or would Carson and Durden become an unprecedented co-champion duo?
WILL ALLDAY VS. CADE CARSON
FEB. 1, 2020
Two of the breakout stars of 2019 in The Pride went head-to-head at the Battle in Bryan II. At the first edition of this event, the then-rookie Carson won with a roll-up, stunning Allday and his cohorts in The Brand. A lot had changed between then and the second encounter, as Allday broke free from the nefarious group and became a massive fan favorite. Cade Carson showed his devious side, defeating his cousin and trainer, Houston Carson and bringing the seven-foot Drake Durden into the fold. Who would score the win in this rematch?
HOUSTON CARSON VS. CADE CARSON
NOV. 9, 2020
After retiring due to medical issues, multi-time champion Houston Carson founded Lions Pride Sports and The Lions Den Training Facility. The standout student turned out to be Houston's cousin Cade, who has since gained significant attention on the Texas wrestling scene. But Cade decided to break away from Houston and verbally assault his trainer and family. Little did Cade know Houston would gain clearance to compete one last time at Smitty K's in College Station. Would Houston's first match in two-and-a-half years cap his career with a win, or would the student defeat the trainer?
CADE CARSON VS. THOMAS CARTER
TWO-OUT-OF-THREE FALLS
OCT. 5, 2019
The rivalry between Cade Carson and Thomas "Mathayus" Carter reached a fever pitch in Brenham in this two-out-of-three falls match. Coming off a loss to Carter, the cousin of Lions Pride Sports Owner Houston Carson had been bad-mouthing his family member and trainer. At our Uproar event, Cade looked to get a win back and further separate himself from Houston. Carter worked to add to another W over Cade to his impressive rookie record.
CADE CARSON VS. THOMAS CARTER
SEPT. 7, 2019
Two of the brightest young stars coming out of Texas met once again when Cade Carson and Thomas "Mathayus" Carter battled in Navasota. At the previous Lions Pride Sports event, Carson eliminated Carter from the Aggieland Rumble match. Could Carter exact revenge, or would Carson get the upper hand again on a fellow wrestler out of The Lions Den Professional Wrestling Training Facility? Their trainer, retired wrestler and Cade's cousin Houston Carson, had a lot of interest in this one.
AGGIELAND RUMBLE MATCH
WINNER EARNS 360 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
JULY 20, 2019
Thirty competitors, one mission: stay in the ring and earn a Lions Pride Sports 360 Title opportunity. The first Aggieland Rumble match was contested in Bryan, with a random draw determining the entry of the wrestlers. One-by-one, they came in, and 29 had to leave because they went over the top rope and both their feet hit the floor. The lone person to survive the eliminations earned a chance later that night to face Will Allday for the 360 belt.

KING OF TEXAS TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL
