On 29 May 2010, Dunn successfully retained the championship against Alexander in the main event of the IPW Genesis supercard.
[2] Dunn regained the title on 21 August 2010, at IPW Rival Turf, only to lose it again later in the evening to "The Deal" Dal Knox.
Dunn had intervened after the main event to rescue A-Class from an assault by a number of wrestlers from NZWPW, only to be attacked himself.
Knox, returning from injury, entered the ring with steel chair in hand, only to turn the weapon on Dunn.
McCracken then donned the referee’s shirt to officiate the bout while Knox struck Dunn with numerous chair shots before pinning him to win the championship.
