Adam Wolf and Ragnar Ericson would take the win against Brother Black and Colton Pierce, in what was an impressive and very hectic match.

Boateng retained his Chroms Championship in an Elimination Chamber match in which the two people who would start off the match would be the former WFA competitor C-Minus and Igor, with the third being Steve Harvey. He wouldn't last for a long time as while trying to run away Igor hit his "World's Beefiest Slam" to eliminate him. Later in the match, Kumar would enter and have an eternal staredown with Igor until Marshall Walker came in the match. Later on in the match, the last participant would enter, which was the champion Boateng. With a lot of brawling in between, when Marshall was distracted with Igor, C-Minus came from behind and rolled him up with an O'Connor Roll to eliminate him. C-Minus would talk trash to Marshall Walker, but not for long as Marshall hit the Mirror's Edge Single Underhook Brainbuster and left, with Kumar later coming in to pin him and eliminate him from the match. Boateng would be chilling on top of a chamber pod while Igor and Kumar would've fought, but that plan backfired on him since Igor would throw him off the pod and would jump on him, squashing him with over 300 lbs of meat. Kumar would hit his finisher on the damaged Igor, eliminating him. Between the last two participants, Kumar would kick out of two Executions, but a third one would get the job done.

Garrett Wilson defeated Chase Adams in a Steel Cage match to become Braveheart Champion by escaping the cage.

### **Main Event**

In the main event Xander Payne pulled out all the stops to defeat Johnny Bones in a Hell In A Cell match. In currently the best match in RW history, Xander would kick out of a Phenomenal Forearm and a Bones Clash. A Paynekiller and multiple Last Sedation and even a Bones Clash by Xander weren't enough to keep Johnny down. These two brawled on top of the cell, and what finally took Johnny out was a Last Sedation through the cell roof and through two stacked tables, with Xander furthermore proving why he's the best in RW.
