Miltiades started to take firm control of the match at the start to where his strikes and kicks proved to be lethal, but Cassidy would find a way duck under a Last Sunset from Miltiades into a superkick to keep this match alive. Cassidy would bring Mizarki into the match to where he would be able to take advantage with a series of suplexes and stiff strikes to throw the Junior Heavyweight Championship contender around. When Shinati would attempt the Faithful Design, Miltiades would drop down and land a Et Tu Brute to save himself from future damage before tagging in Jun Nobunaga.

The Phantom Troupe (CM Nas and Saul Omen) def. Ronin (Shaun Till and Avery Knight)

Time: 9:15

Description: Ronin’s Shaun Till and Avery Knight returned to tag team action against The Phantom Troupe’s CM Nas and Saul Omen with the hopes that they would be able to redeem their last defeat from earlier in the night. However, the night would prove to not be on their side in this match as the tandem of CM Nas and Saul Omen proved to be too much for them to handle. The inexperience of Shaun and Avery’s alliance led to the downfall with Nas and Saul able to use their experience as a team to be able to pull out a victory here. This didn’t go without stating that Ronin didn’t have a fight, Shaun having a close victory against Nas with a NEVERLAND/Think Lovely Thoughts combination only for Saul to land a Sanguine Star from the top rope to counter the pin. After Saul took care of Avery, he blasted Shaun in the face with Memento Mori before Shaun stumbled into Nas’ arms to be picked up and dropped with The Ether for the pin!

Shoot Nation (Jaydayne Pendragon, The Apparition, and Belle Kingsley) def. Tres Comas Club (Andre Virgo, Cassius Corleone, and Sakura Corleone) Time: 14:07 Description: Shoot Nation was able to pull off the clean sweep in their matches for the event as they took another victory from Tres Comas Club, but this didn’t come without controversy! The One True Pairing definitely were able to keep things at bay against The Apparition and Belle Kingsley to with the relationship being able to show why they are such a threat in the tag team division! The champions knew what the other was thinking before they even did it, always having each others back during the match, to where Shoot Nation’s team couldn’t seem to be able to counteract the assault that was being made. It wasn’t until the leader, Jaydayne Pendragon, jumped in that he was able to turn things around. With his lightning speed and deadly kicks, he turned the tide to where Virgo was forced to be brought into the match. This battle between Junior Heavyweight Champion and Heaven’s Arena Cup victor was a battle that fans would agree would be an amazing bout to see, but it was suddenly interrupted by the contender for Virgo’s championship in Miltiades. He would walk out there to watch the events unfold and speak about how he’s taking the title from Virgo, but that only caused a distraction when Virgo attempted his signature Virgo Bomb, Jaydayne slid through his legs and landed Hitchens’ Razor for the pinfall victory!

Ronin (Tarah Nova, April Song, and Kikyo Himura) def. The Phantom Troupe (Khmaoch Sangkat, Gronk, and Kerry Keller)

Time: 19:24

Description: The Phantom Troupe wouldn’t prove to be as lucky as Shoot Nation in a clean sweep for the night with Ronin able to pick up the main event victory for the night’s event! In a matter of moments, the match turned into the complete chaos with every member of the match vying for a spot in the starting moments of the match. Eventually when the dust settled, Gronk would rise from it all with Kikyo Himura remaining from the side of Ronin. Gronk wouldn’t hesitate to make short work of the young talent to where he would eventually drop her with a Yokozuna Cutter. However, on his way up, Tarah and April both strike with superkicks to stun The Mad Titan for a moment. They both run into the ropes and landed twin dropkicks to send Gronk into the ropes, Kerry Keller tagged himself in and rushed out to where he came in for the pin on Kikyo to not work. Kerry had been able to land significant strikes to keep Himura onto the canvas, but when he took too much pride and time to rush for The Calamity Engine, Kikyo spun behind him and threw him into the turnbuckle with a Red Death. She started to crawl and tag April Song into the match, who rushed into the turnbuckle with a dropkick, before continuing the match. April would keep the pressure on Keller before attempting the Professional Disposal, Keller flips her forward to avoid the rear-naked choke, to land a Calamity Engine on her instead.
