EPW officials have just broken from an emergency meeting with the current EPW champion, Davis Storm, who has handed in his resignation as an active member of the roster effective from August 14th. Storm insisted at the meeting that although he did not want to use the word 'retirement' that he was convinced that Hell or Highwater would be his final night as a wrestler in Explosive Pro Wrestling.

There were some tentative negotiations of him possibly moving into a front office job in the near future but neither side wanted to commit to anything prior to the conclusion of Hell or Highwater.

Davis apparently offered to vacate the title prior to this Saturday but EPW officials insisted that he be given one last opportunity to defend the EPW championship and go out on top. This has come as quite a shock to all involved with EPW and the champion has said that he will attempt to address this situation tomorrow.

Storm is one of the few remaining inaugural members of the EPW roster. He is the only four time EPW champion in history as well as having held the tag team titles on two separate occasions and winning the Invitational Tournament in 2009.

As a historic career comes to an end, can Storm complete the fairytale and walk out of Hell or Highwater with the EPW championship?
