LIVE from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio - July 5, 2016

Darian Andrews vs. Tyson Kenneth O'Reilly

- An entertaining opening match that was back and forth for the first few minutes, but ultimately, once Darian took control, he was not going to let up, showing the fans exactly what he was capable of. Darian would win this match with the Falling Star and the pinfall at 6:53 of an opener that got the crowd into the show. He would celebrate with the fans afterward as TKO didn't seem to know what hit him.

Chelsea Summers vs. Leviticus

- This was Chelsea's first singles match in a while and she showed it in the early going. Leviticus was playing head games with her, laughing at her and mocking at her at various points in the match. But, a knee to the mouth would silence Leviticus for good as Chelsea went into total dominance mode from there until she hit the Sky Drop on him. Chelsea, furious from how Leviticus was treating her, broke up her own pinfall and locked in the Sedona Stretch to punish him more. Leviticus tapped out at 5:30

Matty Graves vs. Crystal Swift

- Crystal Swift, unsurprisingly, spent at least half the match trying to make out with Matty Graves. But, the Jay Pride associate was able to keep his cool despite being weirded out a bit by Crystal's antics. Crystal gave it a good fight, but Matty's technical prowess came through in a big way when he got the rolling heel hook on Crystal. Being trapped in the center of the ring, Crystal had no choice but to tap out at 6:12 of the match, the fans being firmly behind Graves.

Kurt Logan and Caitlyn Perry vs. Adam Craig and Kenny Perry

- This was Kenny's chance to perhaps get some revenge against Caitlyn and Original Intent. With Adam Craig by his side, he tried to make it all possible. However, Kurt Logan was just too good and Caitlyn was showing some marked improvement in her wrestling ability since being taken under Glory Braddock's wings. Try as he did for revenge, it just wasn't enough. Kenny fell victim to "Making an Impact" and Caitlyn got the pinfall at 9:01.

Andrea Hernandez vs. Leviathan

- Andrea had a, pardon the pun, tall order going up against the monster Leviathan. Her inexperience and her size disadvantage hindered her in the early going, but her speed eventually came through for her and Leviathan was just unable to keep up. A Busaiku knee followed by the Sky High would do in the monster of Revelations with Andrea picking up the pinfall and the impressive win at 7:51

Blood Rose vs. Kevin Edwards and Sophie O'Brian

- The number one contenders to the GCW World Tag Team Championships basically dominated this entire match. Blood Rose did not stand much of a chance at all. Ultimately, and obviously, after a quick beating, Kevin Edwards pinned Aurora Ramsey after the "Milling" at 2:39. After the match, Edwards continued to mercilessly assault Aurora, only stopping when Sophie intervened. Kevin got some mass heat for beating down Aurora after she was already out of it.

Redemption vs. Lethal Marksmen

- An entertaining, knock out, drag out tag team battle, the Lethal Marksmen certainly gave it their best shot. But unfortunately for them, Marie and Corey were just too good to handle. Despite some cheap shots and double teams on the Lethal Marksmen's part, Marie and Corey pulled through, with Marie kidding the Ave Maria an Richard Zane and getting the pinfall victory that would make the fans happy at 11:08

MAIN EVENT: North American Championship
Aphrodite Noel (C) vs. Karen McBride

- The main event would be an entertaining encounter for the North American Championship between Aphrodite Noel and Karen McBride. McBride proved to be a resourceful and strong challenger as the back and forth battle raged on. At one point, Eric Chambers and Drake Dillon came down to get involved. Chambers even got Aphrodite in the skull with the title behind the referee's back near the end and Karen NEARLY won, but Noel kicked out. Brittany Kayl and Meagan Collins then came down to ringside to prevent further interference by getting into a brawl with Chambers and Dillon. With the fight now being fair, Aphrodite was eventually able to get control and bring down Karen with the Ex-Communication to retain the title at 15:49. Afterward, Collins and Kayl entered the ring. The New Media Renaissance celebrated with a happy crowd to end the night on a positive note.
