LIVE from Cuidad Deportiva in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico


OPENER: Madame Santos vs. Karina Lyasenko

- The proceedings began with a battle of two wrestlers that haven't won a match in 2016. They both gave it their best efforts, but Karina dominated in the second half of the match, with Madame Santos being unable to throw a punch or a kick. Karina then kicked Santos in the gut, set her up for a double underhook maneuver of some kind, and planted her with a double underhook powerbomb for the pin at 5:00. Yes. KARINA LYASENKO WINS!!!!

Wrestling Royalty vs. Queen Mamba and Geneva Ball

- Mamba and Geneva didn't have the greatest of luck a few days ago on Shotgun when Adrian Waters played dirty and drilled everyone with the TV title. So, they got a chance to take out their aggressions on Chagev and Dionisia. Wrestling Royalty did make things interesting for a while, but ultimately, there was no question as who was going to win this one as Mamba locked in the Toxin Chamber on Sergei Chagev! Dionisia tried to interfere and break up the hold, but Geneva intercepted him with a roundhouse kick to the skull. Chagev tapped out to the Toxin chamber at 6:01 to the delight of the crowd

Lethal Marksmen and Monroe Jones vs. #GingerNation

- The GCW Global Tag Team Champions were in action against the Lethal Marksmen, desperate to get back into the swing of things in the tag team division... and... Monroe Jones. Ginger Nation dominated in large part because Monroe kept tagging himself in and getting his ass kicked when the Marksmen even had a hint of control against the champions. Monroe would spend his time trying to hit on Jenni Anderson and trying to get her to marry him. The Marksmen had enough and eventually abandoned him. Ginger Nation proceeded to destroy Monroe until Jenni hit the Adora-Bomb for the pin and the win at 6:30. Jenni proceeded to spraypaint "#GN" in red on Monroe's chest.

Blood Rose vs. Christy Hightower and Travis Vessey

- Christy Hightower and Travis Vessey were feeling pretty damn good about themselves after becoming the number one contenders to the tag team titles. Aurora and Saul would be in for something else and of course, when they got in the ring with Christy and Travis, it wasn't even close as the number one contenders proceeded to ultimately decimate Blood Rose. Neither Aurora or Saul were able to get in any offense whatsoever and at 4:55, Hightower and Vessey would finally put them out of their misery when Vessey hit Saul with the Red Eighteen in order to pick up the pin and the academic win for his team!

#GoTiffGo Special: Malcolm Cross vs. Hannah Myers

- Malcolm Cross was waiting in the ring for Hannah Myers, but for some reason, she never showed up. The venue played her theme three times, but Hannah never showed up. Malcolm waited impatiently as another referee came down to talk to the official in the ring. It was then announced that Hannah had no-showed the event and that Malcolm Cross was the winner by forfeit. Malcolm wasn't pleased and wanted to attack the referee, but Maria Prado came to calm him down to prevent him from taking any risky action.

Non-title: Derek Powers vs. Adrian Waters

- The Television Champion was in action against someone that was at one point, a contender for it. Clarissa Vega was not at ringside for this match. In any event, while Derek Powers definitely gave it his best effort, Adrian Waters outclassed him in every phase of the game. He outwrestled him and obviously, outsmarted him. In the second half of the match, it was all Adrian Waters before the TV Champion ultimately hit Derek with the Super Smart Elbow for the win at 7:01, without any shenanigans or controversy. Adrian would gloat about this afterward, proving that he can win any match without the shenanigans his biggest critics had been admonishing him for.

Pierce Manning vs. Julia Braddock

- In a tune up match for her world title challenge against Chantelle Chambers, Julia Braddock took on Chantelle's boyfriend, Pierce Manning. Julia was certainly on her game, but in the end, Pierce also came to play. As a result, this was more of a back and forth match in the middle stages than what you might expect on the surface as Pierce did the best he could to prove why he is 'the Man'. However, Julia was in control in the late stages of the match, causing Chantelle Chambers to come down to ringside. This created a momentary distraction for Julia, allowing Pierce to even things up again. With the referee's back turned, Chantelle slipped in a crowbar to Pierce. Pierce swung in plain sight of the referee, trying to get himself DQ'd, But instead, Julia ducked the shot and brought him down into a triangle choke. Shekhinah Glory was locked in and Chantelle was incensed as Pierce had nowhere to go and had no other choice but to tap out at 11:18.

X-Division Championship: Isabella Harker (C) vs. Karen McBride vs. Eric Chambers vs. Drake Dillon

- Isabella Harker was obviously annoyed at having to deal with Tiffany Manning's nonsense one more time, this time against all three members of the McBride Corp. Obviously, this was like a three on one handicap match as Isabella tried in vain to fend off all three of her challengers at the same time. Drake was the first to get a pinfall on Isabella, but she kicked out. Eric, same thing. Pinfall, kickout. Karen made a cover of her own... but Drake broke it up! Karen and Eric got in Drake's face for this as Drake said he wanted to be the X-Division champion. This dissention is exactly what Harker needed and from that on, she thoroughly dominated her competition with little effort, culminating with Drake Dillon getting drilled with the Stake! Karen and Eric were on the outside after Isabella had thrown them both into the steel steps. Isabella made the pinfall on Drake, getting the win and the successful title defense at 8:30.

MAIN EVENT: Forgotten No More vs. Victoria Salinas and Kayla Jones

- The former tag team champions teamed up one more time to take on Drake Hemmingway and Slade Merriman. Kayla was certainly confident of course, and she stuck with things even when she was on the receiving end of double team moves from Drake and Slade. Drake and Slade were cocky, arrogant and acted like they owned the world, especially in the moments when they were in control. As for Victoria? She was not only coming off as more confident than before, but she was straight fire as she tried to get her revenge on Drake for injuring Axl Austin with a concussion months earlier. However, in the late stages of the match, Victoria was double teamed by her adversaries constantly, and she struggled to get back to her corner. Finally, a hurricanrana counter to a powerbomb finally changed the tide as she was able to get back to Kayla, who she tagged back in. Ultimately, despite the upcoming ironman match, there would be no tension at all. Kayla took control until the numbers game came to play again. Victoria would even the odds and they both dumped Slade out of the ring with a double clothesline. Drake was still beating Kayla from behind. Victoria helped Kayla by turning him around and causing him to stumble with a Busaiku knee. Drake stumbled into the Kaylan Wind Kick 1.0 and Kayla got the pinfall and the win at 14:12, ending the night on a bright note for the fans. Kayla and Victoria shook hands in anticipation for the ironman match to close out the event.
