* AxCrazy: Jimmy Havoc since his FaceHeelTurn has threatened to set Mark Andrews on fire to get a title match, tried to cut Will Ospreay's ear off, seemingly killed and eaten someone and acted on a threat to cut Ospreay's head off. As noted above, he also took to actually carrying an axe around with him towards the end of his championship run, even taking a swing at Ospreay during their final match together. His former Regression stablemate, Paul Robinson, has also proven to be this.
