"The Golden Greek" Marcius Pitsonopolous pinned Dave The Bruiser "The Golden Greek" Marcius Pitsonopolous had a rough go of things since coming to the EWF from NWA affiliate EPW in Austrailia. However he turned things around by surprising Dave The Bruiser with a quick roll up, gaining his first victory in the EWF, much to the chagrin of Bruiser. |
| Espiritu Infernal & Mercurio Jr defeated Evan Jelic & Jeremy Jaeger Evan Jelic and "Top Shelf" Jeremy Jaeger took on the young luchadors Mecurio Jr. and Espiritu Infernal in one of the best matches of the evening. Most of the match went the way The High Rollers wanted, but the quickness of Espiritu & Mercurio proved to be too much as Espiritu Infernal hit the Infernal Combustion on Jaeger to score the win. |
Ryan Taylor defeated Brandon Gatson by submission Ryan Taylor continued on his path to prove that he should be the EWF Heavyweight Champion, but in his way stood former EWF Heavyweight Champion Brandon "Nitro" Gatson. Gatson, the victim of two horrific chair shots only one week ago at the hands of Mikey Nicholls, bloodied Taylor in the early goings of the match but the self-proclaimed "King of Submission Wrestling" scored the victory, albeit with the help of Nicholls and another chair shot, with a cross face chicken wing. |
Aiden Riley defeated Candice LeRae by submission The debuting Aiden Riley had a formidable task in her first match, taking on the veteran Candice LeRae. Riley picked apart the arm of LeRae for most of the match and reversed LeRae's Racoon Neckbreaker into an armbar, forcing LeRae to tapout, giving Riley a victory in her very first match. |
| American Champion Vizzion pinned Mikey Nicholls to retain his title Mikey Nicholls went to Jesse Hernandez and demanded this match, saying the he never got his rematch for the American Title. Nicholls continued to display a viciousness that the EWF hadn't seen before and came close several times to regaining the American Championship, however after a running powerslam, Vizzion got the victory and retained the belt. |
EWF Heavyweight Champion Scorpio Sky defeated Joey Ryan by submission to retain his title Scorpio Sky came to the ring with his ribs heavily taped and looked as though his reign as the "King of SoCal" might come to a relatively quick end. Ryan concentrated his efforts on the ribs he damaged earlier in the night following a sneak attack and spear. Sky, showing the resiliency and fighting spirit that has made him the first man to hold the EWF and AWS Heavyweight Titles concurrently, fought through the pain and completed his historic night by defeating Joey Ryan with a Dragon Sleeper and retaining the EWF Heavyweight Championship. |
