Hideo Watanabe vs. Turkey Tom

The match began with Hideo Watanabe immediately asserting his dominance, wasting no time in closing the distance between himself and Turkey Tom.

He responded by wrenching Tom’s arm into a painful joint manipulation hold, twisting his limb unnaturally. Tom squirmed in agony, scratching wildly at Hideo's chest, but Hideo responded with a quick arm drag, throwing Tom across the ring like a ragdoll. As Tom staggered to his feet, Hideo charged, delivering a brutal running enzuigiri that knocked Tom into the corner. With a swift follow-up, Hideo leapt forward with a crushing running corner splash, further driving the wind out of Tom’s lungs. Every move seemed like a precise strike from a master, and Hideo wasn’t letting up. He delivered alternating forearms and chops, each one snapping through the air as Turkey Tom slumped against the ropes, defenseless.

Turkey Tom, barely able to stand, attempted a desperate clawing attack, but Hideo countered with ease. He executed a flawless slingblade, transitioning immediately into a basement dropkick that sent Tom’s head snapping backward against the mat. The crowd watched in awe as Hideo ascended to the second rope, crashing down with a perfect shooting star knee drop, further punishing Tom’s battered body. Hideo wasn't done, hoisting Tom into the air and delivering the devastating Eternal Blade, a top rope brainbuster that left Tom in a daze. Sensing the end, Hideo measured his opponent, launching himself off the ropes with the Blood on the Sword, his signature springboard curb stomp, smashing Tom’s face into the canvas. Tom lay motionless as Hideo confidently hooked the leg for the pinfall.

Teresa Morgan vs. Jessie Robinson ©

The bell rang, and Jessie Robinson and Teresa Morgan circled each other, both competitors poised for a fight that had the crowd buzzing with anticipation. Teresa charged first, looking to assert her strength early on, but Jessie ducked a lariat and responded with a quick roundhouse kick that snapped against Teresa's shoulder. Teresa stumbled but didn’t go down, gritting her teeth and rushing Jessie again, this time landing a quick series of punches. Jessie blocked most of the blows, but Teresa’s last uppercut caught them under the chin, sending Jessie reeling toward the ropes. Sensing an opportunity, Teresa hit a hard step-up enzuigiri that rattled Jessie, knocking them to one knee. Teresa, confident in her momentum, quickly went for a DDT, planting Jessie on the canvas with authority.

With the crowd on their feet, she hit the far ropes, launching herself through the air with a suicide dive that collided with Jessie, sending both crashing to the ground outside. The referee began the count, but Teresa yanked Jessie up, tossing them back into the ring at the count of five. Back on their feet, Jessie tried to mount a comeback, but Teresa was relentless, dragging Jessie into a corner and slamming their body into the turnbuckle with a hard clothesline from hell. Jessie crumpled, and Teresa saw an opening, climbing to the top turnbuckle. She launched herself for a diving elbow drop, but Jessie rolled out of the way at the last second, leaving Teresa to crash hard into the mat. Seizing the chance, Jessie surged back into the fight. They quickly sprang to the top rope, flipping through the air and crashing down on Teresa with a flawless frog splash. The impact left Teresa gasping for air as Jessie hooked the leg for a quick pin attempt, and the referee slid to the mat to make the count.


Not discouraged, Jessie pulled Teresa up, spinning her around into a vicious sliding German suplex, dropping her on the back of her neck. Jessie was feeling the momentum shift and signaled for the crowd, who roared in approval. With Teresa trying to sit up, Jessie sprinted toward her and landed a brutal running forearm to the back of her head, sending Teresa slumping face-first into the mat. Jessie looked to the top rope again, climbing for what could be a match-ending move, but Teresa wasn’t done yet.

Teresa was the first to strike, hitting Jessie with a hard boot to the face that knocked them back into the corner. With Jessie trapped, Teresa grabbed their arm and yanked them into the middle of the ring, dropping them into a seated Fujiwara armbar—her signature Solemn Vow.

El Diablo crumpled on impact, clutching his lower back, and Kūali’i took advantage, delivering a stiff kitchen sink knee to El Diablo’s gut as he staggered back to his feet. He followed it up with a rolling elbow that nearly took El Diablo’s head off, sending him crashing to the mat. Kūali’i immediately transitioned into a guillotine choke, wrapping his legs around El Diablo’s waist and squeezing tight.

The crowd began to rally behind El Diablo, willing him to escape the choke. Slowly, El Diablo fought his way to his feet, still trapped in the guillotine. With a burst of adrenaline, he drove Kūali’i into the corner, forcing a break. Gasping for breath, El Diablo staggered backward before finding a second wind. He climbed to the second rope, raining down a series of punches—ten in total—on Kūali’i’s head, finishing with a hard right that sent Kūali’i stumbling out of the corner. El Diablo seized the moment, bouncing off the ropes and landing a spinebuster that shook the ring. The crowd roared as El Diablo signaled for the Backyard Elbow, bouncing off the ropes again and dropping the signature elbow right into the heart of Kūali’i. The momentum swung back in El Diablo’s favor as he dragged Kūali’i to his feet, positioning him for the Stump Piledriver. He hoisted Kūali’i up, planting him head-first into the canvas with a brutal spike. The crowd believed this was it. El Diablo went for the pin attempt again.


Kūali’i somehow kicked out, stunning the fans! Determined, El Diablo climbed to the top rope, preparing for the Feeling Froggy splash. He flew off the top, but Kūali’i rolled out of the way at the last second, and El Diablo crashed hard into the mat. Kūali’i slowly rose to his feet, the match taking its toll on both men. Kūali’i, eyes blazing with intensity, knew it was his time. He hoisted El Diablo up into the fireman’s carry position, setting him up for the Thunderous Ascension. With a show of raw power, he transitioned El Diablo from the fireman’s carry into a half nelson, before driving him headfirst into the mat with a bone-shattering impact. El Diablo’s body lay motionless as Kūali’i hooked the leg, the referee sliding into position for the count.
