First Round Match
Daughters of Darkness & Daniel Corvin v. Kairi Higurashi/Emmanuelle/Kamari
The first match of the evening was one for the fans to get excited about. After the last minute replacements of Morgan Payne and Sativa Naveah, we got to see two of the hottest newcomers to the sport in quite some time with The Daughters of Darkness. It didn’t take them long either to mesh with Daniel and show people just what they’re capable of doing. Them along with Daniel had the advantage early on, making good use of the lucha rules for tags and keeping the fresh member inside of the ring and isolating Kairi. Eventually though, Kairi was able to roll under the ropes and to the floor and that brought Emmanuelle into the match and her and Kamari began working extremely well as a team as they kept their opponents off balance. The two delivered a series of double team moves, and tagging in and out as Kairi regained her composure and recovered on the outside. Kairi eventually got back into things as her, Emmanuelle and Kamari delivered a trio of superkicks to Jamie that sent her out of the ring, then they had a trio of kicks for Daniel as well. Kairi then took the air as she leaped from the top rope and down onto Daniel and Jamie on the floor leaving Lana to go it alone for the time being with Emmanuelle and Kamari and Lana started to turn things around for her team. She would toss Emannuelle out of the ring and then deliver a German suplex to Kamari that sent her out as well. Kairi would come in and suffer a buckle bomb before Lana tagged Jamie in and the two of them delivered Balefire and Jamie hooked the leg and picked up the win for her team.
Winners: Daughters of Darkness and Daniel Corvin

First Round Match
C.P.W v. The Mancini Syndicate
This match saw our guests from 1WM come in and they were certainly looking to prove a point in this. The three women of the Mancini Syndicate started off strong and it almost looked like they were going to put this match to bed before it could really get started as Camila delivered an Even Flow DDT on Cindy, but Jerry and Tiffany were able to make the save. After the early flurry of offense from the three women, Jerry was finally able to bring the favor back to his team’s side as he used his strength and weight advantage to keep Isabella in the ring and begin to isolate her from her partners. Him, Tiffany, and Cindy were starting to look like a well oiled machine, hitting a few double and triple team moves and coming close on quite a few occasions on sending the guests packing in their first match. Eventually though, Isabella was able to get the tag to Viola and her and Camila were able to bring the advantage back to their side as they delivered a Total Elimination to Tiffany, but before a cover could be made, she was able to roll out of the ring and Jerry came back into the match, but the two of them were ready for him as they delivered a double dropkick that sent him out of the ring as well. Cindy came in it was more of the same as now, Isabella was back in and the three of them delivered a Total Elimination with a spear by Isabella and as Isabella and Viola kept watch, Camila hooked the leg on Cindy and picked up the win for her team.
Winner: The Mancini Syndicate

First Round Match
The Kingdom (Valkyries/Tren Descarrilado) v. Super Tiger/Azurine Vebbins/Trixie Decker
Showing just how seriously they’re taking this war, the Valkyries send forth the Runaway Train to start things off for their side. Even with one good eye, or perhaps because of it, Tren looks like a spirit of vengeance, sans flaming skull, ready to wreck fools… which makes it all the more impressive that Super Tiger is the one to start things off for the opposition. Knowing that matching power and strikes isn’t happening, the Vlad Blackheart Tournament Champion laces into the legs and ribs of Tren with kicks and strikes, trying to slow the monster down. Knowing that one big swing from Tren, even a wild, unaimed shot, could end things for her quickly, Tiger falls back on quick tags to Azurine and Trixie, with two or sometimes all three of the energetic young women plaguing Descarrilado like wasps on a bull. Eventually, Tren puts a big paw around the neck of Azurine, lifting her off her feet like a sack of potatoes, but Trixie and Tiger are right there to make the save. Antsy already not being a part of the action for minutes, Christina and Lilith finally bust in, swarming all over Tiger and Trixie. Speed and adaptability let them keep up with their opponents, though Tiger outmatches Christina with her greater experience. Trixie and Lilith are more evenly matched, though once Trixie starts a brawl against the more technically-sound Lilith, things swing her way. During a rare free moment, Tiger’s team is able to send Tren over the ropes, failing to see that he has landed on his feet with a deathly snarl on his patched face. Tiger’s team enjoys the three-on-two over the Valkyries, but the tag champs don’t let it go easily, holding out until Tren re-enters the ring. A nasty big boot to the back of Azurine’s head drops her and, while the Valkyries keep Tiger and Trixie busy, a Train Wreck from Descarrilado spells the end for Vebbins!
Winners: The Kingdom

First Round Match
El Diablo Experience v. Spooky Scary Skeletons
These six competitors brought it a little hardcore style as the El Diablo Experience and WWH’s Spooky Scary Skeletons just went right at each other. It was somewhat clear that Clarence Hardbody and Captain Cowabunga were leaning a little on the lesser experienced side but they still had the heart and determination as they tagged in and out to take the fight to the Skeletons. The Skeletons had somewhat of an edge, still, over Clarence and the Captain but El Diablo himself came into the match and hit that mat running, showing who the true leader of the team was! Arm drags, dropkicks and hurricanranas for everyone. El Diablo lead his team on an all out Lucha House brawl with the Skeletons. The referee had to warn both sides about going for weapons more than once but he could only watch one pair off at a time as everyone was starting to go at it from all over the ring. One of the Skeletons made it into the ring with a chair and swung at El Diablo but he juked under the shot and came back around with a Spinning Heel Kick, knocking the chair right back into his assailant’s face. He quickly kicked the chair out of the ring and hit the ropes for a big Moonsault Kneedrop before hooking the leg and calling to the ref. The referee turned, saw the cover and dropped down for the pinfall. The El Diablo Experience advances into the semi-finals!
Winners: The El Diablo Experience
Result: Pinfall
