STUNNINGLY DELICIOUS SQUASH.
Winner: X-Bro 420
Time: 1:14
Thornfield attempts to enter into a double elbow tie-up, but Steel has no time for that and pops him right in the face. Steel backs him up with right hands before Thornfield counters with a knee lift, but Thornfield then whips Steel across the ring, only for Steel to return and knock him to the mat with a running shoulder tackle. Steel grabs Thornfield and hurls him into the corner, stomping him down to the mat. Steel backs off as Thornfield tries to pull himself back up, and Steel rushes in for a leaping knee strike, but Thornfield moves out of the way and steel crashes into the turnbuckle. Thornfield rolls Steel up, but only gets a two count.
Thornfield takes control, transitioning from a headlock to a hammerlock, and then into a side suplex. The Cunning Earl tries to keep Steel grounded, going into a front facelock, and tries to maintain his advantage with chain wrestling, ducking under a wild swing attempt from Steel to stop him. Thornfield maneuvers behind Steel and lifts him for a back suplex, but Steel floats over and lands safely behind Thornfield before dropping him with a side Russian leg sweep. Steel grabs Thornfield by the legs and tells him that this is what he has to do before turning him over into X-Treme Prejudice!
Thornfield cries out in pain, unable to counter his way out of the devastating submission hold, but manages to grab hold of the bottom rope, and Trent Steel initially ignores the referee’s warning to break before finally releasing just before Hazel East counts to five. Steel goes to pull Thornfield back up, and Thornfield attempts to stun him with a blow to the chest, but Steel clubs him with a blow to the back before lifting him into position for the Eradication and callously driving him into the turnbuckle! Steel tugs the limp Thornfield away from the ropes and covers for the three!
Winner: Trent Steel
Time: 5:19
Cashe and Raab go to tie up, but Raab ducks under and hits Cashe with a clothesline, taking him him. He drops a leg across Cashe’s throat, then an elbow. He pulls Cashe up and DDT’s him, but keeps him in a standing wristlock, then dragon whips his arm down onto the mat before laying in stomps. He pulls Cashe up into an arm trap chickenwing and suplexes him over, dumping him onto his right arm. He immediately drops a knee onto it, then pulls Cashe’s arm behind him and throws him into the turnbuckle shoulder first before he steps out of the ring and slams Cashe’s arm repeatedly into it, only stepping back in when Referee Brian Chartreuse threatens to count him out. Raab steps back in and dumps Cashe onto his arm with another suplex, then pulls him up and powerbombs him before he leaps up onto the top rope and comes down across the same arm with a moonsault. He goes for the pin, but Cashe kicks out at two. He pulls Cashe up and attempts “The Flaming Driver,” but Cashe breaks it with a foot on the ropes. Raab springs up and yells at Chartreuse that his count was slow. Chartreuse argues back that he’d better focus on what he’s supposed to be doing.
Cashes takes advantage with a surprise roll up, but Rabb kicks out, leaping to his feet. He takes a somewhat wild swing at Cashe’s damaged arm, but Cashe avoids it and bell claps Raab, stunning him. He lands a couple of snap jabs, a vicious slap to Raab’s chest, then locks him up and tosses him over with a stiff looking exploder suplex. Raab crashes hard, loudly smacking the back of his head off of the mat. Cashe takes advantage with a rolling senton, then piles Raab into the corner, darts across the ring and drives into him with a running cannonball. He pulls Raab out and goes for a pin, but Raab kicks out after two. He pulls Raab up and dumps him face first into the corner, then hoists him over his shoulder, takes a couple of steps and slams him back down with a Burning Hammer. He dumps Raab onto his head with a second Exploder and waits for Raab to get up. Once Raab gets to his feet, Cashe charges at him but gets surprised by “The Burninator.” Raab tries to drape his arm over Cashe to cover, but Cashe manages to roll away, leaving both men laid out.
Chartreuse gets to five before Raab gets to his feet. Cashe is up a second later. Raab leaps into the ropes looking for “The Fire Storm,” but Cashe drives his elbow into the back of Raab’s head with “The Mark of Jason,” then pulls him up and drives him down with the “Scrap Action Driver” for the three.
Winner: Jason Cashe
Time: 6:28
After Donovan and Vain stand on the apron and squabble about who’s going to start, it finally ends up being Vain against Lucy. She goes to lock up against him, but Vain promptly “tags” Donovan on the chest and rolls to the floor. Nobody seems surprised by this, let alone Donovan, although he looks less than amused. He yells at Vain, only to suddenly get jerked over the top rope and slammed into the mat. He looks up to find himself facing Seb and not Lucy, and shoots Vain an acidic look in response. Vain replies with a mocking hand wave. Seb rolls his eyes and promptly reminds Donovan of where he is with a kick to the back of his head. Donovan finds his way back to his feet and throws a couple of air punches at nothing, drawing a mocking point and laughter from his “partner,” and more looks of exasperation from his opponents. Seb avoids one of Donovan’s woozy looking punches and delivers one of his own. For a the next few minutes it turns into a parody of a boxing match.
Right up until Donovan reminds Seb and everyone else that he plays “rope a dope” better than anyone else in the game with a well placed shot to the chin. He follows it with a clothesline that knocks Seb off of his feet, then wraps him up in a leg bar submission. He wrenches back hard as Seb claws his way toward the ropes. Seb is almost there when Lucy runs in to break it up. She doesn’t have to as Wallace runs in and pretends to trip, hitting is own partner before running from the ring, leaving Lucy looking a bit befuddled. She walks back to her corner as Vain steps up on his and waves to her politely. Suffice it to say her return gesture isn’t a wave, and Vain finds it deeply offensive.
Both men crawl toward their corners, with Lucy bending over to tag herself in while Vain pretends to check his nails. Donovan makes sure he notices the tag as it catches Vain straight in the forehead before it’s Donovan’s turn to roll out. Vain turns and yells something rather unkind at him, only to be dropkicked in the back by Lucy. He bounces off of the turnbuckle straight into a legsweep and a shining wizard. She lands a flying headbutt and tags Seb in. The proceed to tag wrestle Vain into oblivion with suplexes, superkicks, DDTs and more suplexes before Seb drops for the pin. He gets a two before Donovan breaks it up with a boot to Seb’s face, then throws him from the ring.
Lucy charges him, but he ducks under it and yanks her down by her hair and kicks her in the ribs. He proceeds to throw her around the ring from post to post, then drops her with a vicious neckbreaker. He pulls her up and powerbombs her, then goes for an arrogant pin, but she kicks out at two. Vain mocks him from the apron. Donovan walks over and “tags” him in and the two proceed to play a game of “can you top this” with Lucy. Vain executes a suplex, so Donovan tries to do it better. Donovan locks her into an armbar submission, so Vain has to grab her by the other arm and lock one in. Vain throws her into the post, so Donovan has to do it more violently. It’s both terrible for Lucy while also looking like a weird kind of satire. At the end of it, Vain hits the “Curtain Call,” which Donovan punctuates with “Destiny’s Call.” It only gets a long two count before Sebastian breaks it up.
Sebastian is sent back to his corner, dragging Lucy behind him. He tags himself in and blasts Vain with a kick in the face, causing him to spin into the corner so that he’s facing Hastings. He reaches out for the tag, but Hastings smiles like he’s just won the lottery and drops to the floor. Vain stares incredulously and yells something rather unkind at his ostensible partner. He doesn’t get the chance to say anything else as Seb grabs him from behind and dumps him squarely onto the back of his head. He pulls Vain up and darts across the ring, connecting with an absolutely savage “Empire Kick.” He considers pinning Vain for a second, then turns to tag Lucy in, only to get chop blocked by Vain. Unfortunately for Vain, Seb catches himself on the top rope and uses it to propel himself forward, tagging Lucy in. She waits for Vain to pull himself to his feet and immediately plants him with “Wylde Liberation,” and although it’s not a “big match,” she busts out “Calamity from the Skies” as an exclamation point, then pins the World Champion while Donovan stands on the apron, applauds loudly, and points at Vain as he’s being pinned, making sure to make it as obvious as possible to the fans.
Winners: Lucy & Seb

Before the next match gets underway, Ezra Wolf has a challenge to make.
Zane needs a victory here to stay in contention for the top spot in the block, a win of any kind for Knox would put him in the lead and assure he can’t finish any lower than second.
The two competitors circle each other in the ring, a tense standoff as they gauge their opponent. Knox, known for his technical prowess, attempts to take control with a quick takedown, but Scott counters with a judo throw, showcasing his own grappling skills. An attempt by Scott to grab Knox again is thwarted as Knox unleashes a barrage of kicks, aiming for Scott's legs and midsection. Scott, however, powers through, countering with a powerful spinebuster that sends shockwaves through the ring.
Scott takes the upper hand, utilizing his power arsenal. He executes a corner powerbomb, leaving Knox stunned for the moment. Knox, known for his resilience, fights back with a series of suplexes, showcasing his technical expertise. Knox attempts a Lionsault, but Scott dodges at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the high-flying maneuver. Scott seizes the opportunity, locking in a Cravate followed by knee strikes, but in a surprising turn, Knox counters with a one-legged Codebreaker, stunning Scott but only getting a two count.
Knox lifts Scott into position for Into the Void, but Scott floats off the back and clips Knox in the back of the knee, dropping him to the mat. Scott quickly sets up Salt the Earth and drives Knox face first into the canvas, before shooting the half into the cover, and Knox gets his shoulder up just before the three.
Scott starts to bring Knox back to his feet, but Knox chops him in the chest, only for Zane to retaliate with one of his own. They exchange blows, and Scott starts to pull Knox into the Purge, but Knox transitions through it and lifts Scott for Into the Void! Scott manages to stay on his feet, wavering as he does, and Knox lifts him into a second Into the Void, and that puts Zane down for the three!
Winner: Matt Knox
Time: 8:43
This one is back and forth bell to bell. Jess is keeping up with Larry’s overpowering assault, trading blow for blow, and manages to gain the upperhand with a flying forearm smash. We nearly see a Shatterpoint Kick, but Tact springs a trap and pulls them into Figoku Jime. Larry nearly shuts this one down, but Jess manages to slip through and kip back up.
Tact pulls himself to a kneeling position, and Jess wastes no time going on offense again. They lines up for Echoes, but Larry scouts it and snatches Jess into a gutwrench suplex. After a kneeling Argentine rack drop and a dragon screw, Tact executes a Dive to Blue and covers for a two count.
Jess slides out of the ring for a moment, grabbing a beat while surveying Tact. For his part, Larry stands in the ring clenching fists, ready. Jess leaps onto the apron suddenly, and Tact advances, but Jess springboards into a big forearm that rocks Larry. He catches the bigger man starting to rise and nails a big hip toss, followed by an elbow drop. Rolling through, Jess ascends the opposite turnbuckle and leaps into a picture perfect Identity Crisis–NO! Larry gets his feet up and shove kicks Jess on the way down.
Tact fully in control now, and he takes advantage with a brainbuster and then a Star Power for the cover. Larry gets the three and the win just in time.
Winner: Larry Tact
