Jordan Oasis is entering Power Slap 18 with something to prove.
After scoring a spectacular first-round knockout in his debut, the heavyweight prospect returns on March 6 in Las Vegas to face Jonathan Correa. While the win immediately put Oasis on the radar, it also sparked questions from critics about his ability to take a slap.
Now, he’s ready to answer them.
“Now it’s like, okay… can he take a slap? Cool. I’ll just shut those people up too and go 2-0.”
From WWE Release to Power Slap Opportunity
Oasis’ debut in Power Slap came at a turbulent time in his life.
Fresh off his release from WWE, he entered the slap fighting world carrying a massive chip on his shoulder. That frustration fueled his first performance — a knockout that immediately made fans take notice.
But heading into Power Slap 18, his mindset has evolved.
“The last time I came in with a chip on my shoulder… fresh off my release from WWE.”
Now the mission is different: build momentum and establish himself as a legitimate contender in the heavyweight division.
Critics and Questions After His Debut
Despite the highlight-reel knockout in his first appearance, some fans were quick to question Oasis’ performance.
Many pointed out that he didn’t take a slap in that fight, raising questions about how he would respond when it’s his turn to receive a strike.
Others debated technical aspects of his slap, including whether his heel lifted during the strike.
Oasis says those critics are exactly what motivates him.
“People want to magnify every little thing… now I’ll just shut those people up.”
A New Stage: Fighting on the Live Prelims
Unlike his debut, which took place in a taped segment, Oasis will now compete on the live prelims at Power Slap 18.
For someone with over a decade of professional wrestling experience, performing in front of a live crowd is nothing new.
In fact, he welcomes it.
“I’ve been wrestling for going on 11 years now… I’m used to criticism, I’m used to crowds.”
The difference this time is the environment.
With the arena energy and the crowd feeding the atmosphere, Oasis believes the moment could elevate his performance even further.
Studying Jonathan Correa
Oasis will face Jonathan Correa, a heavyweight competitor returning after a two-year absence from the sport.
Correa previously competed against:
-
Delvin Helmlett
-
Logan Greenhalgh
While Oasis has studied the available footage, he isn’t putting too much stock in it.
In a sport evolving as quickly as Power Slap, he knows fighters can change dramatically over time.
“Two years in this sport is like ten years.”
Because of that, Oasis refuses to underestimate his opponent.
“One hit in the right spot and you’re done.”
Starting a New Climb
Power Slap represents a fresh chapter for Oasis.
After years climbing the professional wrestling ladder, he now finds himself starting from the bottom again in a completely different sport.
But that challenge is exactly what excites him.
“Starting over in a new field like this… it gives me hunger.”
He sees Power Slap not just as another opportunity, but as a new career path with limitless potential.
Blending Wrestling and Power Slap
Interestingly, Oasis has already begun merging his two worlds.
During a recent appearance in AEW, he attempted to showcase his Power Slap abilities during a match involving Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm.
While the slap didn’t land — thanks to a quick dodge — the moment highlighted Oasis’ goal of bringing cross-promotion visibility between wrestling and slap fighting.
“I was hoping to bring some eyes from AEW over to Power Slap.”
The Perfect Outcome at Power Slap 18
When Oasis visualizes March 6, the outcome is simple.
Another knockout.
“A perfect day looks like what I did in October.”
He believes his striking power already proved itself in his debut and that repeating that performance will silence any remaining doubters.
“When I become 2-0… then we’ll worry about the next thing.”
A Dangerous Mindset
Oasis says his greatest strength right now isn’t just physical.
It’s mental.
After experiencing major career setbacks and personal struggles, he believes the hunger to rebuild his legacy makes him extremely dangerous.
“The only thing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose is a man who lost everything and wants it all back.”
Power Slap 18: Another Statement Opportunity
The Power Slap heavyweight division is one of the deepest in the organization.
But Oasis believes he belongs among the elite.
If he can defeat Jonathan Correa and improve to 2-0, his name will start entering serious conversations among the rising contenders in the division.
And if things go according to plan, the fans may witness another knockout.
“Everybody saw what my potential is… and I’m going to do it again.”
