Balance and Ridge vs. The Diamond Peak (Preston Montgomery and Pierre Laurent w/Claudia Winter)
The veteran team of Balance and Ridge were the early leaders against The Diamond Peak, but Claudia Winter’s coaching from ringside helped the young team of Preston Montgomery and Pierre Laurent to shift the match in their favor. Montgomery and Laurent divided the ring and kept Ridge from making a tag. Montgomery worked Ridge’s leg, tagging in Laurent to continue.

Winter looked pleased as she encouraged Laurent to make the tag and he succeeded. Montgomery attacked Balance and began tagging in a recovered Laurent.
The Diamond Peak were more focused than their last outing against Balance and Ridge.

Laurent took full advantage of the cheat tactic and wrestled Ridge to the mat, locking in an STF. Balance entered the ring to break up the submission but was intercepted by Montgomery. Ridge was unable to escape and submitted, giving The Diamond Peak their second win of the night.

MoW Championship Match
John Austin Baker vs. Cole Arcane (c)

Baker began to pull Arcane up by his head, but Arcane jammed a shoulder into Baker’s midsection. Arcane began a spirited comeback, feeding off the energy from the fans. Baker stopped the momentum briefly, but Arcane got control again before using a running bulldog on the challenger. Arcane covered for the pin and won the match.

MoW Championship Match
Tracy Blood vs. Cate Stiles (c)
The main event saw an eager Tracy Blood attempting to capture the MoW Championship from Cate Stiles. Both women traded offense before Stiles blocked a kick from Blood and started focusing her offense on the challenger’s legs, particularly Blood’s previously injured ankle.
Stiles used the ankle lock early, but Blood was able to reach the ropes quickly. Blood made every effort to get in some offense. Stiles stayed in control until Blood blocked a suplex and used a DDT. Stiles was on the defensive for the first time while Blood hit her with strikes. Blood ran off the ropes and tried to clothesline Stiles, but the champion ducked, grabbed Blood around the waist, and used an atomic drop. The impact jarred Blood’s bad ankle and Stiles went after it one again. Blood got to her feet and went to run off the ropes again but fell to the mat, clutching her leg in pain. The referee sent Stiles to a corner while he checked on Blood.
Blood talked with the referee and insisted she was ok, but the referee was not convinced. Stiles stood in the corner, calling to the referee to make a decision. Someone wearing a hoodie hopped the barricade and climbed onto the ring apron near Stiles. Stiles turned just as the mystery person sprayed pepper spray in her face. Stiles backed away, clutching her face. Blood immediately got to her feet, ran at Stiles, and hit her with a head kick. Stiles fell to the mat and Blood covered for the pin, picking up the victory and becoming new MoW Champion.
Tracy Blood was awarded the MoW Championship and stood with the title belt raised high while grinning. The hooded assailant pulled back his hood and revealed himself to be Tracy’s brother, Mark Blood. The siblings celebrated while the referee checked on Stiles. The crowd were vocal in their disapproval of the Bloods’ actions, so Mark Blood grabbed a microphone to address them.
Mark Blood called the fans and MoW management ungrateful. Mark reminded everyone that they defended MoW last year and did not get places on the Final Round card. Mark said they were righting the ship because ruling MoW is their birthright and Tracy’s reign on top was just the beginning. Mark threw the microphone and the Blood siblings left the ring together.
