Nathaniel followed up with a quick elbow drop and went for a cover.


Jimmy fought his way back into the match, catching Nathaniel off guard with a slingshot reverse STO that drove Nathaniel’s face into the mat.

Aimihan Divata vs. Lawrence Whittikar

Lawrence managed to get an unexpected early advantage with a running clothesline that connected firmly, dropping Aimihan to the mat. He quickly followed up with a knee drop, driving his knee into her shoulder as she tried to shake off the blow. Aimihan, however, responded swiftly, rolling away and rising to her feet with a determined glint in her eye. As Lawrence rushed toward her, she launched herself into a spinning heel kick, catching him square on the jaw and sending him stumbling backward. Not missing a beat, she sprang forward with a series of knife-edged chops that echoed throughout the arena, each hit pushing Lawrence closer to the ropes.

As the pace intensified, Lawrence took a risky leap off the ropes with a springboard, attempting a high-flying corkscrew move. Aimihan countered with a perfectly timed dropkick, sending Lawrence crashing to the mat. Aimihan followed up with a headscissors takedown, flipping Lawrence over her shoulder in a dizzying arc. Just as she seemed to gain control, Lawrence quickly evaded a follow-up attack by slipping beneath her legs with a slick baseball slide. He seized the opening, catching her in Play the Mark, wrenching her arm back into a brutal wrist lock, adding torque to her fingers in a way that forced Aimihan to grit her teeth against the pain. The hold had the crowd on edge as Aimihan strained against the submission, using her flexibility to gradually twist and kick her way free.

The two wrestlers were visibly fatigued but determined, each knowing the next few moves could decide the match. Aimihan pulled herself up with the ropes, and as Lawrence moved in for another strike, she countered with Broken Hope, a spinning backfist that caught him off-guard and left him reeling. Sensing her chance, Aimihan climbed to the top and launched herself off the rope, performing a flawless Swanton Bomb, her finisher Supernova, crashing down onto Lawrence. The crowd erupted as Aimihan hooked his leg for the pin. The referee slid to the mat and began counting.

Back in the ring, Kai Morgan and Hideo Watanabe are left alone, exchanging forearm strikes in a battle of resilience. Kai hits a vicious forearm, but Hideo retaliates with a rolling ”Koppo Kick”, sending Kai to one knee. With Kai down, Hideo capitalizes with a ”Call an Oni” (Cutter into a Dragon Sleeper), squeezing with all his might. Kai struggles, his face red with effort, but manages to shift his weight, reversing the hold and landing behind Hideo. He quickly hits a ”Shattered Skies” (Axe Kick Followed by a Discus Forearm), sending Hideo stumbling to the mat.

Super Tiger slides back into the ring just in time to break up a pinfall attempt on Hideo, throwing a low dropkick to Kai’s face.

Seeing her opportunity, Morganna turns her attention to Hideo, who is slowly rising. She stalks him, setting up for her “Welcome to the French Quarter” (Scorpio Rising), but Hideo manages to dodge at the last second. Morganna stumbles forward, and Hideo catches her with his ”Wrath of a Shogun” (Sky Twister Press), leaving her dazed in the center of the ring.

Ayu’s speed and finesse gave her the upper hand early on, as she went for a quick cover after a Moonsault Tornado DDT, but Bianca kicked out with authority before the referee could even start the count. As Ayu tried to maintain control with a rolling German suplex, Bianca slipped out on the third roll and retaliated with a brutal Eye Rake, momentarily blinding Ayu and turning the momentum in her favor. With Ayu stunned, Bianca took the opportunity to hit a powerful Running Knee Lift, driving Ayu back into the corner where she followed up with a punishing series of European Uppercuts.

In control, Bianca displayed her mean streak, yanking Ayu out of the corner by her hair and slamming her face-first into the mat with a Running Bulldog. She continued to taunt the crowd while pressing her boot down on Ayu's head, smirking as they booed her arrogance. Ayu fought back, getting to her feet only to be met with Bianca’s Beautiful Boot, a fierce big boot that nearly decapitated her.

Both wrestlers now visibly exhausted, Ayu took to the ropes and attempted a Springboard Forearm Smash, but Bianca sidestepped, sending Ayu crashing into the canvas. Sensing her opportunity, Bianca hoisted Ayu up and locked her into the Queens Clutch, wrenching her back in a vicious Camel Clutch hold. Ayu struggled, her face contorted in pain as she fought desperately against Bianca's grip. The crowd rallied behind her, and with a burst of energy, Ayu managed to power out, escaping Bianca’s hold by rolling her over.

She quickly hits a Chick Kick—her Permafrost—stunning Travis and dropping him to one knee.

Crystal sees her chance and bounces off the ropes, hitting a Sub Zero, her double open-palm strike to the chest. Travis staggers back, visibly affected by the blow. Crystal senses victory and quickly grabs his head, going for her finisher, the Cold Snap. She sets up the Hammerlock DDT, wrenching Travis’s arm behind his back. But just as she’s about to drop him, Travis spins out of it, reversing into a hard Spinebuster that shakes the ring.

The referee checks on both competitors, giving them a moment to gather their strength. Travis pulls himself up, gritting his teeth and signaling for the end. He prepares for the Resurrection Kick, backing up to get a running start. Crystal struggles to her feet, wobbly but determined. Travis charges forward, aiming the Claymore Kick at her head, but Crystal ducks just in time!

Travis’s momentum sends him crashing into the referee, who is caught off guard and drops to the mat, dazed and unresponsive. Crystal and Travis both take a moment to recover, realizing the referee is down. The crowd buzzes with anticipation, sensing something ominous.

Seth Ernst: Both competitors are down, even the referee’s down. This match is getting insa–

Lucas Knox: Hey wait a minute, Seth!

Miranda Augustino: What the hell?!

Before either competitor can react, Damon Cross appears at ringside, slipping into the ring with a malicious glint in his eye. Travis, unaware of Damon’s approach, pulls himself up and turns around—right into Damon’s grip. Damon lifts him up and executes his devastating ”"Weight of the World" (Omega Driver), slamming Travis's head and neck brutally onto the mat.

Seth Ernst: Weight of the World dropped upon The Dragon!

Miranda Augustino: Why?! Fucking why?!

Lucas Knox: After coming to his aid against Rowena Byrne, he does this!!

Damon slips out of the ring just as quickly as he arrived, leaving both Travis and the referee down. Crystal, unaware of the interference, stirs, shaking her head to clear the cobwebs. She sees Travis lying prone on the mat, not realizing he’s been attacked. Sensing victory, she crawls over and drapes an arm across Travis.

The referee, groggy, slowly regains his composure and begins the count.

The bell rings, and Crystal Zdunich is announced as the winner.

Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner…CRYSTAL HILTON!

She raises her arms in victory, oblivious to Damon’s interference, as the crowd’s reaction is mixed between cheers and murmurs. Damon watches from the ramp with a smirk, satisfied with his impact on the match, as Crystal celebrates her victory in the ring, having no idea what truly secured her the win. As the show starts to go off the air, however, Travis Levitt lifts his head from the mat, spotting Damon Cross in the aisle of the crowd. The Dragon glares daggers at The Unforgiven as Trauma ends for the night.

Miranda Augustino: I hope you’re pleased with yourself, you smug motherfucker!
