"Big Three" Events History
Stable Wars, the Deadly Draw, and the Halloween Battle Royal were referred to collectively as the "big three" annual events in XUW.
Stable Wars began in 2002 as an eight-team tournament that took place in one night at XUW's annual Big Brawl pay-per-view. The first two rounds were usually sudden death contests where the first team to score a pinfall won the match; the final was traditionally a four-on-four elimination match. The members of the winning team received title shots of their choosing.
The Deadly Draw tournament, established in 2003, was a tournament consisting of 16 tag teams formed by 32 entrants. The teams were determined by a random draw that traditionally took place via a live webcast. The tournament then played out until one tag team remained; the two members of the surviving team then faced each other one-on-one to determine the tournament winner. The Deadly Draw champion received a shot at the World Title in the main event of Reborn.
The Halloween Battle Royal first appeared in 2002. Every member of the XUW roster dressed up in a Halloween costume for the match, and their identities were typically not revealed until they were eliminated. The winner of the Halloween Battle Royal traditionally received a World Title shot at a future date.

Vortex
Vortex debuted in 2002 and aired on Thursday nights. It regularly featured the top tier of XUW's talent much in the same vein as Mayhem did. Vortex was cancelled in 2004 after two years on the air.
