Match 6: EWF Cruiserweight Championship - Non Title Match

Ryan Taylor (C) vs Ronin

Ronin, also making his debut in Covina tonight, took on the EWF Cruiserweight Champion, Ryan Taylor, in a Non-Title Match. Ronin has proven he could brawl back at Hit & Run in Ventura, and proves in this match that he can wrestle with the best. Both men tried to out-wrestle the other in the early moments in this match, which Taylor seemed to get the best of, locking on his Half Crab early in the match. Ronin quickly made his way to the ropes, breaking the hold. Unfortunately for Taylor, this seemed to awaken the sleeping giant. Ronin became more aggtressive, hitting clotheslines and various suplexes, with which Taylor returned the favor, hitting his own suplexes and top rope Sentons. It would prove to be Ronin's night, however, with the combination of wrestling a much bigger man and coming in at less than 100% from a record breaking 4 title defenses the day before. Ronin was simply too much for the battered Taylor, and defeated him soundly with his Death Valley Driver. After, Ronin was so impressed with Taylor's resiliency and 'never quit' attitude, he applauded Taylor and raised his hand for the Covina crowd.

Winner: Ronin
 

Match 7: EWF Tag Team Championship

The Iron Express (C) vs TNT

The Iron Express, coming off of a brutal Submissions Match for Joey Harder's EWF Heavyweight Championship, was forced to put aside their differences and defend the tag team championship against the #1 Contenders, Brandon Nitro & Johnny Dynamite. At least it seemed they might put aside their differences. They started early, using teamwork and quick tags, but Hook's jealousy of his tag partner began to show, tagging in and out with loud chops to Joey's chest, which quickly annoyed Joey. After a particularly deafening chop to Joey, the teammates began to argue. Brandon Nitro went for a 'Meeting of the Minds' but was pushed back by both men, who then continued their arguement with each other. Nitro tagged in Dynamite, who threw Joey from the ring and concentrated on Hook. After delivering a few nice moves on Bomberry, he finally countered with a Jawbreaker, a desperation move at this point, and tried to tag in Harder. At this point, sick of Hook's stiff tags and remembering their match at Zero Tolerance '07, when Hook refused to tag in against the Young Bucks, Joey,too, refused a tag. This left Hook alone in the ring as TNT delivered their tag team finisher, Ground Zero to pin Hook and win the Tag Team Championship, while Joey looked on.

Winner and New Champions: TNT

The Aftermatch

Joey Harder graciously raised the hands of the new tag team champions and left the ring. As both Joey Harder and Hook Bomberry had left, an unfamiliar music played over the system. As TNT were celebrating their newly won EWF Tag Team Championship, some names from the past emerged from behind the curtain. Malice and Mayhem, the longest running Tag Team Champions, had made their way to the ring and made a challenge for the titles at EWF's 11th Anniversary show on May 11th. Knowing that The Iron Express would not be needing their rematch clause at this point, Jesse Hernandez made the match as part of the big Triple Main Event, along with Joey Harder defending the EWF Heavyweight Title against former champion, Kayam, and The 2nd Annual Great Goliath Memorial Battle Royal!
