### Preliminary Marches

The show opened with a masked wrestler assaulting Kathy Kross backstage, powerbombing her through the windshield of a parked car. The injuries sustained would lead to Kathy being transferred to a local medical facility for treatment.

Later in the match Starbuck would lock Rey Amazonas in a Cobra Clutch only for Victor Wolfe to suplex Power into the referee. The match ended as Leopardo Oscuro hit DJ Wolfe with an Oscuro Cutter and pinned him.

The third match of the night was for the WCC World Championship as the Beast of Bodmin defended against Iestyn Roberts in a steel cage. The match began with The Beast dominating due to his immense size and Roberts inability to shift him. The Beast would be the first to attempt to escape only to be caught by Roberts and brought crashing back down to the mat. The two would continue to attempt to escape only to be pulled from the cage. Midway through the match Roberts seemed to have it won, having scaled the cage he just needed to climb down to the outside but instead opted to leap from the top of the cage in spectacular fashion, hitting The Beast with a diving crossbody. This failed to keep The Beast down who fought back with a Beast Bomb, leading to a kick out. The conclusion of the match saw Roberts fight out of a Boston Crab and lift The Beast on to his shoulders before driving him headfirst into the side of the cage, breaking it and allowing Roberts to win via escape.

The penultimate match of the night was the WCC Women’s title match. Reigning champion and WCC owner Annabelle Church would come to the ring first. Her opponent, Kathy Kross’ music played however she didn’t appear on the entrance way, owing to the fact she had earlier been taken to hospital. Ms. Church then instructed the referee to begin a ten count if Kathy Kross failed to arrive when they next played her entrance music. Before the music could start the sound of an ambulance siren filled the arena and the camera pans to backstage where Kathy Kross arrives in an ambulance. Battered and bruised the challenger rushes through the arena to face Ms. Church. Due to her injuries the match is more evenly contested, however Kross would come out the victor after hitting an Ayr Raid and covering for a three count.
