a contract with the company. His first match was against Les West defeating him at an IPW live event in Auckland on 20 March 2010; he made his television debut on IPW Ignition several weeks later. On 29 May 2010, he defeated "The One" Vinny Dunn at the IPW Genesis supercard for the IPW New Zealand Heavyweight Championship. Dunn had beaten Alexander in the main event to retain the championship when he was unexpectedly confronted by de Jong, responding to the open challenge Dunn had issued to any pro wrestler in New Zealand the previous month, and Dunn agreed to face him in an impromptu match for the title. The match was later aired on 22 July edition of IPW Ignition. De Jong lost the IPW New Zealand Heavyweight Championship back to "The One" Vinny Dunn on 21 August 2010, at IPW Rival Turf after he had been inadvertently struck in the head with a briefcase by his manager, Justin Lane. Dunn then forced de Jong to submit with an ankle lock.
