    2025 Final X Preview: 65 kg MFS Joey McKenna vs Real Woods

    It’s about that time! In the past couple of weeks, we’ve spent time loosely discussing Final X; however, it’s time to start talking about the individual matches themselves. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll break down all 20 Final X matchups - leading into the event itself on June 14th, from Newark, New Jersey. 

    In our next men’s freestyle preview, we’ll look at a matchup that seems like we should have seen before but never have - Joey McKenna versus Real Woods. Both are three-time NCAA All-Americans, former national finalists for Big Ten power programs, who started off at Stanford. McKenna might have a healthy home-field advantage as he is from only about 20 miles away from Newark.

    Joey McKenna vs. Real Woods

    We are guaranteed to have a first-time Senior World team member at 65 kg as Joey McKenna takes on Real Woods. It’ll be a battle of wrestlers who initially started their careers at Stanford. The two never overlapped though. Both Woods and McKenna earned All-American honors at Stanford before transferring to the Big Ten and making a national final.
