Pro Wrestling Malta’s 10-year anniversary show proved to be a historic night, and one of its most electrifying moments came when Gianni Valletta defeated Tom La Ruffa in a high-stakes encounter to become the new number one contender for the PWM Championship.

When La Ruffa and Valletta met one-on-one, the energy inside the Montekristo arena reached a fever pitch. La Ruffa, a well-traveled veteran with a resume including stints in WWE’s NXT and IMPACT Wrestling, used his trademark technical skill and underhanded tactics to try and wear down Valletta. But the Maltese powerhouse refused to back down.

Valletta, fueled by a mix of national pride and righteous fury, battled back with unrelenting aggression. The turning point came late in the match when Valletta launched La Ruffa from the top rope with a thunderous throw that brought the crowd to its feet. The high-impact maneuver stunned La Ruffa long enough for Valletta to secure the decisive victory.

With this win, Gianni Valletta claimed his place as the next challenger for the PWM Championship. Now, with the title firmly in his sights, Valletta stands poised to bring the championship back home and restore honor to Pro Wrestling Malta.

As the dust settles on PWM’s 10-year anniversary, one thing is clear—Gianni Valletta is more than just a hero to the fans; he’s a man on a mission, and his journey to the championship has only just begun.
