Flo announces first Who's Number One matches, O'Farrill vs Aquila at 175
Justin Basch compiled the four matchups Flo has announced, and only one of them has a weight attached so far.
FloWrestling has started rolling out matches for Who's Number One, and the first one posted with a weight is Jayden O'Farrill against Zack Aquila at 175 pounds. Flo billed it as U17 World teamer O'Farrill versus Fargo champ Aquila, with the event presented by @CKAwrestling. It is the headline name on a card that is still being announced piece by piece.
The four matches announced so far
Justin Basch compiled the list as Flo pushed them out. Per @justinjbasch, the announced matchups are #1 Sammy Sanchez vs #2 Landon Sidun, #2 Paul Kenny vs #1 Grey Burnett, #1 Michael Romero vs #2 Mac Crosson and #1 Jayden O'Farrill vs #2 Zack Aquila.
Three of those four are a one versus two, and the fourth, Kenny against Burnett, is a two versus one. Flo has not attached weights to the Sanchez, Kenny or Romero matches in what has been posted, so the only confirmed weight class at this stage is O'Farrill and Aquila at 175.
What Flo said
Flo's post on the 175-pound match leaned into the styles clash between the two.
"This one could get WILD! U17 World teamer Jayden O'Farrill and Fargo champ Zack Aquila are set for Who's Number One at 175 lbs!"
This one could get WILD! U17 World teamer Jayden O’Farrill and Fargo champ Zack Aquila are set for Who’s Number One at 175 lbs!
That is the extent of the framing Flo gave it. No date or venue details were included in the announcements collected here, and nobody has said how many more matches are coming.
Why it matters
Who's Number One is where the recruiting class gets sorted in public, and four ranked-on-ranked matchups is a strong opening salvo for a card that is not close to full yet. O'Farrill carries the U17 World team credential into the one bout with a confirmed weight, which makes 175 the early anchor of the show.
Watch for Flo to attach weight classes to the Sanchez, Kenny and Romero matches, and for the rest of the card to fill in behind them.
