GRIFFIN HAWKINS VS ASHE CORVIN
To say Griffin has taken NFW by storm in this tournament would be an understatement and he’d look to continue that against the struggling veteran Ashe Corvin. Ashe once again came out of the gate hot. There was something different though in this match. Ashe was looking to really put Griffin away early and finally pick up his first win of the tournament. It almost worked too as he caught Griffin off guard and delivered a double underhook facebuster that forced Griffin to kick out at the last second. Griffin definitely looked rocked after that and Ashe just kept on pressing. Ashe dominated most of this match.
Ashe would have Griffin locked in a Koji Clutch at one point in the match and just as it looked like he was about to tap, Griffin was able to make it to the bottom rope and force the break. Ashe refused to stop though. He held the hold until the ref reached a count of four before pulling Griffin out of the ropes and once again looking for the double underhook facebuster, but this time, it was Griffin who countered out of it. Griffin would finally string some moves together here, bringing the match into his favor. Griffin was finally able to hit The Glam Slam and then, he waited, building the crowds anticipation up as Ashe made it to his feet before Griffin delivered Shot in the Dark and picked up the win.

TYLER GREY VS SCOTT LEROUX
To say Tyler Grey was in a bad mood after another loss to Judas Lasher would be a total lie, but it wasn’t like Tyler is ever in a good mood to begin with. Scott and Tyler came out, Tyler being the early aggressor as he came out of the gates with a discus clothesline that sent Scott inside out. Tyler was showing his aggressive side, just beating Scott down in the middle of the ring. Scott tried to answer, but every time he’d try, Tyler was there to stop him dead in his tracks. Eventually though, Scott was able to finally string some offense together after countering out of German suplex as he landed on his feet.

Finally, Lluvia was able to make it to the bottom rope and Lilith immediately broke the hold. Lilith continued the assault, keeping her focus on the injured.

Sativa, being her general, confident, cocky self got right up into the face of Kennedy at the start of the match and just pie faced her and shot a cocky grin in her direction. This only fueled Kennedy and fired her up. Kennedy struck back with a slap that echoed through the arena and Sativa rubbed her cheek and then the fight was on.

After hard fought matches by both women on Monday that saw neither picking up a win, both came out with a point to prove.

Adrianna would soon look for a MOAB Launcher, but Cherry was able to kick the shoulder of Adrianna and block the move with it.

It was enough though for Cherry to take over in the match and she started showing off her strength and tossed Adrianna through the air with a beel.
