MATCH ONE: LADDER MATCH TO BECOME UNDISPUTED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
SkyBird vs The Lads
SkyBird vs The Lads
| RECAP Under the dazzling lights of the Hammerstein Ballroom, the stage was set for an epic unification ladder match between The Lads and SkyBird, with both the Liberty and Empire Tag Team Championships suspended high above the ring. This match was not just about the titles; it was a demonstration of skill, determination, and sheer willpower from both teams, destined to be a historic encounter in the annals of wrestling. As the bell rang, Emery Layton and Skylar Rayner were the first to clash, showcasing a blend of technical prowess and high-flying agility. Both competitors moved with a fluidity and grace that belied the intense competitiveness of the match. Emery, known for her ability to adapt to various styles, matched Skylar's speed and aerial tactics, countering Skylar's attempted high-risk maneuvers with well-timed reversals. Meanwhile, Brianna Leigh Clark and Anastasia Starling began a more power-based confrontation. Brianna, the powerhouse of The Lads, used her strength to dominate early on, attempting to ground the agile Anastasia. However, Anastasia's circus-trained agility and innovative offense allowed her to evade Brianna's most devastating moves, striking back with a series of rapid, high-impact attacks that left the crowd in awe. The match quickly escalated as ladders came into play. Each team tried to outmaneuver the other, setting up ladders in strategic positions around the ring while simultaneously battling it out. The Lads showcased their team cohesion with "Lads on Tour," a series of synchronized attacks that briefly took down both members of SkyBird, allowing them a moment to attempt a climb. Skylar and Anastasia, not to be outdone, demonstrated why they were Empire champions. Anastasia's "Transcendence DDT" from the second rung of a ladder onto Brianna showcased her daring and creativity under pressure. Skylar, seizing the moment, executed a "Sky’s The Limit" from another ladder onto Emery, turning the tide back in their favor. As the match progressed, the physical toll on all competitors became evident. Each climb up the ladders was met with fierce resistance, as both teams understood the stakes. In a particularly heart-stopping moment, Emery and Anastasia battled atop a ladder, exchanging blows high above the ring. The ladder wobbled dangerously under their combined weight, adding a palpable tension that had the audience holding their breath. Just as Anastasia seemed to gain the upper hand, knocking Emery down a few rungs, Brianna intervened, tipping the ladder slightly to give Emery the chance to recover. This teamwork allowed Emery to execute a desperate "Wuthering Heights" from the top of the ladder onto Anastasia, who crashed down onto another ladder set up in the ring. With bodies strewn around the ring, battered from the grueling match, the drama continued to unfold. Each team had moments where victory seemed within grasp, only to be thwarted by a last-second save. Brianna and Skylar now found themselves trading fierce blows at the base of the ladder, their partners slowly recovering. As the first half of the match drew to a close, The Lads began to rally, their determination to unify the titles driving them to push their limits. Emery, showing signs of wear but not out of the fight, started setting up what looked like a daring maneuver, while Brianna guarded the ladder, ready to make a climb that could define their careers. The tension was at a breaking point, with every fan in the arena on their feet, waiting to see which team would ascend the ladder to claim the unified titles. The outcome hung in the balance, setting the stage for a second half filled with even more action, drama, and potentially career-defining moments for all involved. As the second half of the ladder match commenced, the intensity in the Hammerstein Ballroom reached a fever pitch. The audience's energy was palpable, their cheers echoing off the walls as The Lads and SkyBird pushed themselves beyond their limits in pursuit of becoming the Undisputed Tag Team Champions. Recovering from the chaos that concluded the first half, Emery Layton began to climb the ladder with a look of fierce determination. Her every move was cautious yet calculated, her eyes constantly scanning for any incoming threats. On the other side of the ring, Anastasia Starling, slightly slower due to the earlier high-impact maneuvers, started her ascent on another ladder, setting up a dramatic dual climb that had the audience roaring with anticipation. Skylar Rayner, seeing the perilous position her partner was in, launched herself at Emery’s ladder with a desperation that spoke volumes about the stakes. She shook the ladder, trying to dislodge Emery, who clung on with a tenacity born of years in the ring. At the same time, Brianna Leigh Clark intervened, rushing over to stabilize the ladder for Emery, while simultaneously throwing a glance back at her own partner's progress. Anastasia managed to reach for the championships, her fingers grazing the belts, when Brianna, with a burst of adrenaline, leapt towards Anastasia's ladder. The collision was inevitable; Anastasia swung wildly to maintain her balance but ultimately cascaded down with Brianna in a tangle of limbs and ladder steel. With Anastasia and Brianna recovering from their fall, the focus shifted back to Emery and Skylar. Both competitors were now on the same ladder, trading blows back and forth, each punch a potential match-decider. Emery, leveraging her brawler instincts, landed a crucial "Eat the Music" knee strike that dazed Skylar long enough for Emery to ascend a few more crucial rungs. However, just as Emery reached the top, Skylar rallied, driven by the relentless spirit that had defined her career. She delivered a "Flipping Bird" stunner, a move that sent shockwaves through the arena and both competitors crashing down once more into the canvas, the championships swinging ominously above. As the competitors lay scattered, each struggling to stand, the match had become not only a physical but also a psychological battle. In a moment of clarity amidst the chaos, Brianna, showcasing her resilience and strength, dragged herself up and began a solitary climb. Skylar and Anastasia were still recovering, their movements sluggish from the toll of the match. With the crowd’s support thundering in her ears, Brianna reached the top of the ladder. She steadied herself, reached up, and with a triumphant roar from the crowd, unhooked both sets championship belts. The Lads were now the Undisputed Tag Team Champions. As the match concluded, Emery joined Brianna at the top of the ladder, both champions raising the belts high above their heads. The celebration was heartfelt, the respect between the competitors palpable despite the fierce battle. SkyBird, though defeated, acknowledged the victory with nods of respect, their own bond unbroken by the loss. This ladder match, marked by its breathtaking moments and sheer physicality, would go down in history not only for its high stakes but for the display of indomitable spirit, sportsmanship, and heart by all competitors involved. The Lads' victory was a testament to their skill, teamwork, and determination, solidifying their place as top competitors in the world of professional wrestling. WINNER And NEWWWWW….

In a dimly lit corner of the backstage area at the Hammerstein Ballroom, the tension is palpable. The camera focuses on Seven Wolfe and Britney Anders, standing uncomfortably close, their body language taut with hostility. Their heated rivalry is about to spill over just minutes before their highly anticipated match.
Seven Wolfe: (leaning in, his tone mocking) "Britney, you ready to show the world how the 'Living Doll' handles real pressure? Or are you going to scratch and claw your way out of actual fighting like you usually do?"
Britney, unfazed by the close proximity, smirks coldly, her response dripping with disdain.
Britney Anders: "Oh, Seven, always so quick to judge. Maybe you should focus more on your fighting and less on your words. I've dismantled bigger egos than yours, and trust me, tonight won't be any different."
Seven's smile fades into a steely gaze as he steps even closer, his voice low and menacing.
Seven Wolfe: "See, that’s where you’re wrong, Britney. This isn't about egos or appearances. This is about proving who really belongs in this ring. And I'm not just here to win; I'm here to teach you a lesson."
Britney’s eyes narrow, her composure slightly wavering under Seven’s intense scrutiny.
Britney Anders: "A lesson? From you? Please, Seven, don't make me laugh. You might throw a good kick, but when it comes to real strategy, you're lacking. You're all show and no substance."
Seven chuckles darkly, shaking his head with a mocking disbelief.
Seven Wolfe: "All show, huh? Why don't we put that to the test right now? Why wait for the ring?"
In a flash, the simmering tension erupts. Seven feints a move that Britney instinctively reacts to, leaving her momentarily off-balance. Seven doesn’t touch her but smirks triumphantly, stepping back with his hands raised in mock surrender.
Seven Wolfe: "See? Always expecting the brute force... You’re so predictable, Britney. Tonight, that predictability is going to be your downfall. Remember, it’s not just the physical battles that matter—it’s knowing when to strike."
Britney, visibly rattled but recovering quickly, adjusts her stance, her voice cold and sharp.
Britney Anders: "You think you've got me figured out? Think again, Seven. Come that bell, you won't know what hit you."
As the segment ends, Seven gives a dismissive laugh, turning to walk away with a confident swagger.
Seven Wolfe: "We'll see about that, Britney. We'll see."
Seven Wolfe: "We'll see about that, Britney. We'll see."
The camera lingers on Britney’s hardened expression, a mix of anger and resolve, as she watches Seven walk away. The pre-match segment cuts out on a tense note, setting the stage for a showdown where both competitors have more to prove than ever.

Robb Hardy: (laughing) "Oh, I’d never dream of going easy on you. Let’s just say, I’ve found someone who might just match your 'fearless' reputation. You ready to defend that title, or should I start polishing it for the new champ?"
Ahalya stands, her stance firm, a playful yet competitive glint in her eyes.
Ahalya Patel: "Keep that polish away, Robb. This title’s staying right where it is. But let's make it interesting—how about a little wager? If I win, you're buying dinner. And not just any dinner, I want the full Brazilian steakhouse experience."
Robb Hardy: "You're on, Ahalya. But if by some miracle you lose, you're hosting the next training session at Nightfall. And I mean a real session, none of that 'easy' stuff you pretend is hard work."
Ahalya Patel: (grinning) "Deal. Get ready to pull out your wallet, Robb, because there’s no way I’m running a training session that you were supposed to do. Prepare to watch me keep this title."

Britney Anders vs Seven Wolfe
Britney Anders vs Seven Wolfe
| RECAP In the electric atmosphere of the Hammerstein Ballroom, the ring was set for a fierce showdown between Seven Wolfe and Britney Anders. The crowd's energy was palpable, their cheers a mix of anticipation and excitement as both competitors made their way to the ring. As the bell rang, Seven Wolfe and Britney Anders circled each other cautiously, their eyes locked in a heated stare. The match started with Seven using his superior speed and striking skills, landing quick jabs and kicks that forced Britney to retreat. Britney, using her ring awareness, managed to dodge and weave, looking for an opening to exploit. Britney, realizing she needed to shift the momentum, resorted to her underhanded tactics early. She feigned a knee injury, drawing the referee’s attention and concern. As Seven approached to check on her, she sprang up, delivering a brutal slap that caught Seven off guard, followed by a flurry of scratches aimed at his eyes, temporarily blinding him. Shaking off the illegal move, Seven regained his composure and unleashed a series of punishing strikes. He executed a perfectly timed "Wolfe Triangle," using the ropes for leverage, which left Britney gasping for air. However, Britney's resilience and cunning were on full display as she managed to reach the ropes, forcing a break. As the match progressed, both competitors exchanged high-impact maneuvers. Seven showcased his high-flying abilities with a "Seventh Day" corkscrew 450 splash that nearly ended the match, but Britney kicked out at the last second, much to the crowd's disbelief. Frustrated but undeterred, Seven prepared for his finishing move, "The Wolfe's Howl." Just as Seven was about to execute his finisher, Britney rolled out of the ring to catch her breath, before grabbing a chair when the referee was momentarily distracted by a commotion ringside. A masked man was standing on the apron, distracting Seven and then the referee. Sliding back into the ring with the chair, she waited for Seven to turn around and swung it at his knee, incapacitating him with a loud crack. With Seven down and struggling, Britney capitalized on the situation. She executed her finisher, "The Makeover," a front Russian legsweep, slamming Seven’s head onto the chair for added impact. She quickly tossed the chair out of the ring and covered him for the pin. The referee, turning back just in time, counted the pinfall without seeing the illegal use of the chair. As the bell rang declaring Britney the winner, the crowd booed loudly, having caught on to her tactics. Britney, ever the opportunist, celebrated her victory with a smug smile, indifferent to the crowd’s disapproval. Meanwhile, Seven lay in the ring, visibly frustrated and pained, his plans thwarted not by a better wrestler, but by deceit. Britney exited the ring with her arms raised, leaving a trail of controversy behind her. Despite the underhanded victory, her reputation as "The Living Doll" who would do anything to win was only solidified, setting the stage for more heated encounters down the road. Seven, on the other hand, was left to reflect on the match, undoubtedly plotting his revenge for the next time their paths would cross in the ring.

'
Dex Morant: "So tonight, I step into the ring with Antoinette, Liberty's darling. Everyone's so enamored with her sweet smiles and high-flying stunts. But let's cut through all that fluff. This isn't a popularity contest; it's a wrestling match, and frankly, I'm not here to play nice or pander to the crowd."
He pushes off from the wall, his body language shifting as he walks slightly towards the camera, his sneer deepening.
Dex Morant: "Antoinette, you might charm everyone else with your antics, but me? I see right through you. You're out of your depth, and tonight, I'm going to expose you for what you really are—a second-rate wrestler who's gotten way too comfortable in the spotlight that should've never been hers."
Dex chuckles darkly, shaking his head as if dismissing the very thought of Antoinette as a legitimate threat.
Dex Morant: "Get ready, Ant. I'm about to give you a rude awakening. It's time you learn what it means to be in the ring with a real competitor. I'm going to dismantle you, piece by piece, and all those fans you've got? They'll see just how overrated you really are. Brace yourself, because I'm not just coming for a win—I'm coming to make a statement."
With a final, contemptuous look, Dex turns and walks away, leaving the camera to linger on the empty space he occupied, the echo of his threats hanging heavily in the air.

She takes a step forward, her presence commanding despite her relatively petite stature.
Antoinette: "Yes, I smile. Yes, I connect with the fans because I love this sport and everything it stands for. But make no mistake, Dex, behind this smile is a woman who's trained tirelessly, who's fought tooth and nail to get where she is. And I'm not about to let someone like you take that away from me."
Antoinette's intensity grows, her voice firm, her resolve clear.
Antoinette: "Tonight, when we step into that ring, you're going to see exactly why I belong here. You'll see the strength behind the smile, the power behind the positivity. Dex, you're ready for a fight? Good. Because so am I, and I promise you, I'm not backing down. I'm here to win, to show everyone—especially you—that my spirit is just as strong as any move I execute in that ring."
With a nod, Antoinette ends her segment, her eyes steely and focused, ready to turn her words into action. The camera fades out on her determined expression, setting the stage for a confrontation that's as much about proving oneself as it is about settling a heated rivalry.

The bell rang, and the match started with Dex immediately showcasing his aggressive style. He attempted to dominate the early exchanges with his strength and dirty tactics, using every opportunity to bend the rules. Dex's early onslaught included pulling hair, using the ropes for leverage during pin attempts, and even trying to distract the referee so he could deliver a low blow, which Antoinette narrowly avoided. Antoinette, however, used her speed and agility to evade Dex's more underhanded tactics. She countered with high-flying maneuvers and technical wrestling, gaining the crowd's support with each impressive move. Her resilience was on full display as she executed a series of swift kicks and an impressive diving crossbody that took Dex by surprise. Mid-match, Dex managed to shift momentum in his favor by feigning an injury, luring Antoinette into a false sense of security. As she approached to check on him, Dex sprang up, attempting to hit her with his finisher, the Crowning (Headlock Driver). Antoinette countered at the last second, pushing him away and landing a spinning kick that sent Dex reeling. Despite the setback, Dex continued his attempts to cheat. He discreetly pulled a chain from his trunks, wrapping it around his fist as he aimed a punch at Antoinette. Alert to his tactics, Antoinette dodged the blow, and the chain flew from Dex’s hand, sliding out of the ring. As the match neared its conclusion, Dex’s frustration mounted. He finally landed the Crowning on Antoinette, and the crowd gasped, thinking this might be the end. Dex covered her for the pin, smirking as he awaited the referee’s count. However, in a stunning display of tenacity, Antoinette kicked out just before the three-count, leaving Dex and the audience in disbelief. Reinvigorated by her escape, Antoinette rallied. She absorbed a superkick from Dex and responded with her signature move, the Ant-Nation Sensation (Split-Legged Moonsault). The crowd roared in approval as she executed the move flawlessly, covering Dex for the pin. This time, it was Dex who was unable to kick out. As the bell rang declaring Antoinette the winner, the crowd erupted into cheers. Exhausted but triumphant, Antoinette rose to her feet, her face a mixture of relief and satisfaction. She had not only won the match but had overcome Dex’s underhanded tactics, proving her mettle and resilience. Dex, on the other hand, lay in the ring, his expression one of shock and frustration. He had thrown everything he had at Antoinette, including multiple attempts to cheat, and yet, she had emerged victorious. As Antoinette celebrated her victory, the camera captured her triumphant smile and the cheers of the crowd, a testament to her skill, spirit, and undeniable heart in the ring.

It captures a clandestine meeting between Robb Hardy, a figure of authority and resolve, and Julian Savell, whose charming demeanor thinly veils his more sinister intentions. Both men are unaware of the camera's prying eye as their conversation begins in hushed, yet intense tones.
Julian Savell: (with a disarming smile) "Robb, always a pleasure. I hope you're well. I wanted to chat about tonight’s lineup—specifically, about The Division's position. We've been thinking it's time we get a little... acknowledgment for our contributions."
Robb Hardy: (cautiously) "Julian, you know I always appreciate what The Division brings to the table, but I can't just change the match outcomes or give you guys whatever you want. There are rules, and there's a balance to maintain."
Julian’s smile fades slightly, his eyes narrowing as he steps closer to Robb, his tone friendly yet carrying an edge of steel.
Julian Savell: "Robb, my friend, think of your lovely daughter, McKena. She’s thriving with us, isn’t she? We just want to ensure that The Division, including your daughter, gets a fair chance to shine. It’s in your power to make sure we’re treated right. Wouldn’t want to see any... unfortunate consequences if things don’t go as they should, right?"
Robb’s expression hardens, his concern for his daughter evident, but his voice remains firm.
Robb Hardy: "Julian, I'm telling you right now, I can't—and won’t—bend the rules. Even for McKena. She wouldn’t want that either. The Division needs to win on their own merit, not because I pulled strings."
Julian’s smile returns, but it's colder now, more calculating. He places a friendly hand on Robb’s shoulder, his voice smooth but with a firmer insistence.
Julian Savell: "Robb, consider this a friendly reminder of our... mutual interests. I know you’ll do the right thing. After all, we’re all one big family here, aren’t we? Just make sure it stays that way, because family looks out for each other. And I’d hate for us to have to look out for ourselves without your help."
Julian pats Robb’s shoulder and steps back, his smile wide but his eyes cold.
Julian Savell: "Enjoy the show tonight, Robb. I’m sure it’ll be one to remember."
As Julian walks away, Robb watches him go, his expression one of deep contemplation and concern. The camera lingers on Robb’s troubled face before fading out, leaving the audience with a sense of foreboding about the implications of Julian’s veiled threats and the potential fallout for both The Division and Robb’s family.

With the crowd's cheers still ringing in their ears, the bell rang, signaling the start of the match. Both competitors circled each other cautiously at first, gauging the other's approach. Gavin, known for his athleticism and high-flying abilities, made the first move with a quick feint that Ahalya expertly dodged. Ahalya responded with a series of technical grapples, showcasing her wrestling IQ and forcing Gavin to match her move for move. The early exchanges were a chess match of holds and counters, with each competitor showcasing their skill and strategy. As the match progressed, Gavin began to incorporate his high-flying tactics. He executed a stunning running shooting star press, which Ahalya narrowly escaped by rolling out of the way. The close call added to the excitement, drawing cheers from the audience. Ahalya quickly regained her footing and launched a counterattack, using her striking abilities to gain the upper hand. Gavin, not to be outdone, showcased his resilience. He absorbed Ahalya's strikes and reversed a potential suplex into a dazzling Pele kick, knocking Ahalya back and allowing him a moment to ascend the turnbuckle. From there, he aimed for a high-risk 450 splash, which Ahalya countered at the last second by raising her knees, turning Gavin's own momentum against him. The match's intensity increased as both competitors pushed their limits. Ahalya, seizing an opportunity after Gavin's missed splash, applied a sharpshooter in the center of the ring. The submission hold had the crowd on edge, watching as Gavin struggled towards the ropes. Demonstrating his never-say-die attitude, Gavin reached the ropes, forcing a break and leaving the audience in awe of his tenacity. As they both took a moment to regroup, the respect between them remained evident, but the desire to win was palpable. They exchanged a look that communicated their mutual determination: this match was far from over. With both competitors showing signs of fatigue but no less fight, the first half of the match set the stage for an even more dramatic conclusion. As they prepared to continue, the audience was left anticipating how these two top-tier athletes would escalate their battle for the CanAm Championship. As the second half of the match commenced, both Ahalya Patel and Gavin Grimes emerged from their corners with renewed vigor, ready to escalate the contest for the CanAm Championship.

| RECAP The bell rang out in the Hammerstein Ballroom, slicing through the tense air as Amelia Moore and Bobby LaFleur stared each other down from opposite corners of the ring. The anticipation was palpable, the crowd buzzing as the two competitors approached the center, neither willing to break eye contact. With a snarl, Amelia launched the first attack, her movements swift and precise. She delivered a series of quick jabs to Bobby’s torso, using her speed to keep the bigger man off balance. Bobby, fueled by his own rage, responded with a hard shove that sent Amelia staggering back. He followed up with a vicious clothesline that knocked her to the mat, setting the tone for the brutality to follow. Quickly recovering, Amelia rolled out of the ring and retrieved a kendo stick from under the apron. As Bobby pursued her, she swung the stick with ferocity, landing several stinging strikes across his back and shoulders. Each hit echoed around the arena, drawing gasps and cheers from the crowd. Bobby, grimacing from the pain, managed to wrestle the kendo stick from Amelia and broke it over his knee, discarding the splintered pieces. He then grabbed Amelia and hurled her into the steel steps, the impact resounding through the arena. The clash of metal and flesh left Amelia momentarily dazed, allowing Bobby a moment to search under the ring, where he pulled out a steel chain. Wielding the chain like a weapon of old, Bobby wrapped it around his fist and approached the recovering Amelia. He attempted to land a punishing blow, but Amelia dodged at the last second, causing Bobby to hit the ring post instead. Seizing the moment, Amelia kicked at his knee, causing him to buckle, and used the chain to pull him face-first into the ring post. With Bobby momentarily incapacitated, Amelia set up a table outside the ring. She dragged Bobby to his feet and attempted to suplex him through the table, but he blocked her attempt. A brutal exchange ensued as they fought for control. Eventually, Amelia managed to land a desperate DDT onto the ring apron, leaving Bobby groaning in pain on the hard edge. As Bobby lay prone, Amelia turned her attention to the pole. She began her climb, her every move deliberate and cautious, aware that the brass knuckles above could end this match in her favor. Bobby, his face a mask of blood and sweat, slowly got to his feet and observed Amelia’s ascent with a glare. Realizing the peril, Bobby staggered over to the pole, his body screaming in protest. He shook the pole violently, attempting to dislodge Amelia. Holding on for dear life, Amelia kicked at him, trying to knock him away, but Bobby was relentless. He climbed the turnbuckle adjacent to the pole, reaching out to grapple with Amelia and halt her progress. As they both clung to the pole, trading blows in a perilous balance high above the mat, the crowd was on its feet, the tension unbearable. Each strike could mean victory or a painful fall, and neither was willing to give an inch. As Amelia Moore and Bobby LaFleur clung precariously to the pole, their battle for the brass knuckles became a desperate struggle for supremacy. The intensity of the match reached a fever pitch, with each contender landing heavy blows in a risky attempt to secure the advantage. The struggle at the pole was brutal. Bobby, leveraging his strength, landed a heavy punch to Amelia's side, causing her to grimace in pain. Amelia retaliated with a sharp elbow to Bobby's jaw, shaking him momentarily. Realizing the peril of their elevated battle, Amelia made a daring decision. With a swift move, she hooked Bobby's leg and executed a jaw-dropping sunset flip powerbomb, sending both crashing down onto the mat below, the crowd erupting in disbelief and adrenaline-fueled cheers. The impact left both competitors sprawled out on the canvas, gasping for breath. The referee checked on them, but they both waved him off, determined to continue. As they staggered to their feet, the brutality escalated. Bobby, bleeding from a cut above his eye, seemed to thrive on the carnage, his blows becoming more savage. Amelia, fueled by sheer willpower, absorbed the punishment and unleashed her own flurry of strikes, her training as a fast impact striker on full display. Shaking off the effects of the powerbomb, Amelia eyed the brass knuckles once more. With Bobby distracted by nursing his injuries, she seized the moment and started a determined climb up the pole. Bobby, realizing the peril, gave chase, his steps heavy and pained. He reached her just as she was about to grasp the brass knuckles. In a desperate attempt, he tried to pull her down, but Amelia kicked him away fiercely, sending him tumbling back to the mat. With the brass knuckles finally in her possession, Amelia wasted no time. She slid them onto her hand and jumped from the middle turnbuckle, aiming a vicious strike right at Bobby as he tried to get up. The brass-enhanced blow connected with a sickening thud against Bobby's temple, knocking him out cold instantly. As the bell rang declaring Amelia the winner, her expression did not show relief but rather a dark, lingering rage. She looked down at the unconscious Bobby and, in a shocking display of continued aggression, began to pummel him with the brass knuckles. Each hit was brutal, leaving Bobby's face a bloody mess, the crowd now a mix of cheers and horrified gasps.

She displayed remarkable resilience, even when faced with the combined efforts of Emily and Lena trying to eliminate her. Utilizing her power, Melissa managed to fend them off and, in a display of raw power, lifted and dumped Justice King over the top rope, signaling her intent to dominate the match. Scotty Latimer, having earlier managed to stay relatively unscathed by avoiding major confrontations, found himself targeted by the more aggressive competitors. His previous actions of eliminating Hilary Levandrier came back to haunt him as the focus shifted toward him. After a fierce exchange, Melissa caught Scotty with a Reaver Slam. Seizing the moment, she charged at him with a clothesline that sent him tumbling over the top rope, his hopes dashed by his earlier adversary.

Cassandra Mason vs Warren Corbett
| RECAP In the charged atmosphere of the Hammerstein Ballroom, the no DQ hardcore match for the #Society Heavyweight Championship was set to begin, featuring Cassandra Mason and Warren Corbett. The air was electric as Cassandra entered the ring, her expression one of intense focus and newfound edge, reflecting her readiness to defy the odds against the imposing figure of Warren. As Warren made his entrance, his presence alone seemed to dominate the arena. He stalked towards the ring with a menacing grace, his eyes locked on Cassandra, who stood her ground. The bell rang, and the match commenced with Warren charging at Cassandra, intent on using his size and strength to overpower her early on. Cassandra, however, showcased her agility and strategic mind from the outset. She dodged Warren’s initial charge and responded with a flurry of high-impact moves, including a stunning soccer kick and a crescent kick that staggered the big man. Her attacks were precise, aimed at wearing him down quickly. Embracing the no DQ stipulation, Cassandra quickly introduced weapons into the match. She slid out of the ring and retrieved a steel chair, swinging it with force at Warren’s knees, trying to cut the larger man down to size. Warren grunted in pain but managed to snatch the chair from Cassandra on a second swing, tossing it aside and lunging at her with a ferocious bear hug. Cassandra, trapped momentarily, used her wits to escape, delivering a series of harsh elbows to Warren’s head, forcing him to release her. She rolled away, grabbed the discarded chair, and as Warren turned to face her, she smashed the chair across his back, bringing him down to one knee. With Warren momentarily incapacitated, Cassandra didn’t let up. She set up a table outside the ring and attempted to suplex Warren through it. However, Warren’s strength was too much, and he reversed the attempt, turning it into a spine-shattering slam against the ring apron. The crowd gasped as Cassandra’s body thudded against the hard edge of the ring, but the resilient challenger quickly showed her toughness by getting to her feet, albeit staggeringly. Warren tried to press his advantage, setting up a ladder in the corner and attempting to drive Cassandra into it. However, she countered at the last moment, managing to throw Warren into the ladder instead. The impact echoed throughout the arena, and for the first time, Warren seemed truly vulnerable. Seizing her moment, Cassandra climbed the ladder, pulling Warren up by his hair to meet her. In a precarious position high above the ring, Cassandra and Warren traded blows atop the ladder. The tension was palpable as each strike could lead to a perilous fall. In a desperate move, Cassandra managed to hook Warren’s neck and executed a DDT from the ladder, driving him down into the mat with devastating force. As the crowd roared, Cassandra stood tall atop the ladder, her eyes scanning the damage she’d inflicted. She leaped off, aiming to land a Party Stopper [Phoenix Splash] on the prone Warren to secure her victory. The arena held its breath as she soared through the air, her body a perfect arc. This high-flying maneuver marked the halfway point of this brutal contest, setting the stage for an even more dramatic conclusion. Cassandra Mason's daring Phoenix Splash connected flawlessly, her body crashing down onto Warren Corbett with the full force of her resolve and aerial prowess. The crowd erupted as Cassandra went for the pin, but in a stunning display of resilience, Warren managed to kick out just before the three count. Frustrated but undeterred, Cassandra quickly regained her composure. She realized that she needed to escalate her tactics to put away an opponent as formidable as Warren. Grabbing a length of chain from under the ring, she wrapped it around her fist, enhancing her next series of strikes. Warren, still reeling from the splash, was slow to defend himself, and Cassandra took full advantage, delivering a series of punishing blows that echoed through the arena. Warren, his face a mask of pain and determination, pushed through the assault and caught Cassandra's arm on her next swing, pulling her in for a devastating short-arm clothesline that flipped her onto the mat. Using his environment to his advantage, Warren dragged Cassandra towards the corner where he had set up two chairs facing each other. With a grunt of effort, he hoisted her up and executed a brutal powerbomb onto the chairs. The metal bent under the impact, and the crowd gasped at the sheer violence of the move. Both competitors were visibly exhausted, their movements labored as they struggled to their feet. Cassandra, her spirit unbroken, spat out blood and launched herself at Warren with a reckless energy. She dodged his attempt at a lariat and bounced off the ropes, delivering a devastating Bullseye (Running single leg high knee) that sent Warren crashing back into the ladder propped in the corner. Seeing her opportunity, Cassandra climbed the ropes, pulling the barely conscious Warren up by his hair. With a crowd roaring in anticipation, she set him up for her finisher on the top turnbuckle. In a breathtaking display of strength and courage, Cassandra executed The Party’s Over (Bridging double chickenwing) from the top rope, driving Warren down into the mat with a thunderous impact. Cassandra covered Warren for the pin, hooking the leg for extra leverage. The referee slid into position, his hand slapping the mat: one, two, three. The bell rang, and Cassandra Mason was declared the winner, becoming the new #Society Heavyweight Champion. The crowd erupted in cheers as Cassandra, barely able to stand, was presented with the championship belt. She clutched it tightly to her chest, her face a mixture of pain, relief, and triumph. Her journey through the match—a grueling test of her physical and mental limits—had culminated in this moment of glory. As Cassandra celebrated her victory, the camera panned over the fallen form of Warren Corbett, who was being attended to by medical personnel. The respect in the eyes of the audience was palpable, not just for Cassandra's victory, but for the incredible battle both competitors had waged. Cassandra exited the ring, holding the championship high, her victory marking not only a significant career milestone but also establishing her as a formidable force in the wrestling world. The resilience and tenacity she displayed promised more thrilling matches and a reign that would be anything but peaceful. The match, while brutally physical, was a testament to the spirit of competition and the sheer willpower of its competitors, leaving fans eager for what’s next in Cassandra’s championship journey.

Sparrow: "Tonight, it's not just about the Empire Championship. It's about proving that every single setback, every manipulation by management, and every battle I've fought has led me to this moment. Marcus Black, you're a giant, a force to be reckoned with—but so am I."
He stands, pushing the chair back with a swift kick, his movements sharp and deliberate.
Sparrow: "They call me #KickZaddy for a reason. My legs, my kicks—they've taken down men twice my size before. And tonight, in Hell in a Cell, there’s nowhere to run. This match, it’s more than just gold; it’s about redemption. It’s about showing the world that no matter how many times you get knocked down, what matters is you get back up."
Sparrow picks up his white snapback, placing it on his head with a confident tilt.
Sparrow: "Marcus, prepare yourself. I’m not just another challenger. I'm the storm you didn't see coming. And after tonight, the Empire Championship is coming home with me. It's time for the West Indian Whirlwind to take what's rightfully his."
He strides out of the frame, his every step radiating confidence and fight-ready energy, leaving a lingering sense of anticipation for the clash ahead.

He steps closer, his intensity palpable.
Marcus Black: "This Hell in a Cell, it’s my domain. You think you’ve faced giants before, but you haven’t faced a beast like me. I respect your skills, Sparrow. I respect your heart. But tonight, respect won’t save you. I’m not just defending my title; I’m proving why I am the top predator in this jungle."
Marcus cracks his knuckles, a sound that echoes ominously in the quiet corridor.
Marcus Black: "So, bring your best kicks, bring that storm you promise. It will all break against me like waves against the rocks. Tonight, in that cell, I will show you why the depth of despair is far deeper than you ever fathomed. The Empire Championship stays with The Kraken."

MAIN EVENT: HELL IN A CELL FOR THE EMPIRE CHAMPIONSHIP
Marcus Black vs Sparrow
Marcus Black vs Sparrow
| RECAP Inside the towering steel structure of Hell in a Cell, the tension was palpable as Marcus Black, known as "The Kraken," and Sparrow prepared to clash for the Empire Championship. The cell loomed ominously over them, a brutal reminder of the unforgiving match ahead. As soon as the bell rang, Marcus Black utilized his size and strength advantage, immediately asserting his dominance. He cornered Sparrow with a series of crushing blows, each one echoing off the metal walls of the cell. Sparrow, however, used his agility to evade and counter, delivering swift kicks that aimed to chop down the larger man. Marcus caught Sparrow's leg on one of these attempts, hoisting him into the air and slamming him back down with a thunderous powerbomb that shook the ring. Marcus roared in defiance, asserting his control, but Sparrow's resilience shone through as he pushed through the pain, refusing to be dominated early on. Leveraging the no-disqualification nature of the match, Marcus grabbed Sparrow and threw him against the cell wall. The impact rattled the structure, and Sparrow crumpled to the ground. Not satisfied, Marcus exited the ring, pulling Sparrow along, and smashed his face against the steel mesh, grinding against the scars of battles past embedded in the cell. Sparrow, blood beginning to streak down his face, managed a desperate counter, catching Marcus with a low blow and a DDT onto the steel steps, turning the tide momentarily. The crowd gasped and cheered as Sparrow climbed the side of the cell, drawing energy from them, and launched himself onto Marcus with a high-risk moonsault that brought both men crashing down to the floor. The match continued with both competitors exchanging brutal attacks. Sparrow found a steel chair under the ring and used it to even the odds, striking Marcus across the back repeatedly. Each chair shot was a statement, a declaration of Sparrow's refusal to be intimidated or outmatched. Marcus, however, was relentless. He shook off the chair shots and responded with a devastating clothesline that flipped Sparrow over the top rope and back into the ring. Marcus then set up a table inside the ring, signaling his intention to end the match in devastating fashion. As Marcus prepared to powerbomb Sparrow through the table, Sparrow countered with a burst of energy, unloading a flurry of strikes that stunned Marcus. Utilizing his capoeira background, Sparrow delivered a spinning heel kick that knocked Marcus back against the ropes. Sparrow then charged, but Marcus sidestepped at the last moment, sending Sparrow crashing through the table himself. The crowd roared as Marcus looked down at Sparrow's prone form, a mix of frustration and respect evident in his eyes. This intense first third set the stage for an even more brutal continuation of their battle, with both men showing signs of wear but neither willing to concede. The cell loomed over them, a silent testament to the carnage yet to come. With the wreckage of the table scattered around him, Sparrow lay amidst the splinters, his resilience tested under the imposing shadow of Marcus Black. The crowd’s roar, a mixture of concern and exhilaration, filled the Hammerstein Ballroom as Marcus loomed over his downed opponent, a sinister grin spreading across his face, indicative of his confidence in the destruction he was administering. Marcus, relishing his apparent control, dragged Sparrow to his feet and whipped him ruthlessly into the steel structure of the Hell in a Cell. The sound of flesh meeting metal reverberated through the arena. Not content with the impact, Marcus pursued Sparrow outside the ring, grabbing a length of chain from under the ring, wrapping it around his fist, and preparing to strike a devastating blow. Sparrow, however, showed his fighting spirit and quick thinking. As Marcus swung, Sparrow ducked under the chain-wrapped fist, countering with a backstabber that sent shocks of pain through Marcus's spine. Seizing the moment, Sparrow unleashed a barrage of kicks—his signature style—targeting Marcus’s legs and body, each hit echoing his desperation and determination. Harnessing the no disqualification aspect of Hell in a Cell, Sparrow grabbed the same chain Marcus intended to use. With rapid motions, he wrapped it around Marcus's larger frame, momentarily trapping his arms. Sparrow capitalized on this with a series of high-flying maneuvers, culminating in a springboard moonsault from the ring ropes onto Marcus, who was still entangled in the chain. The impact drew a loud reaction from the crowd, split between awe and concern. With Marcus temporarily subdued, Sparrow didn’t hesitate; he climbed to the top of a nearby turnbuckle, surveying the crowd before launching into a breathtaking Shooting Star Press. But Marcus, ever the titan, rolled away at the last second, causing Sparrow to crash and burn on the cold, hard mat. As Sparrow writhed in pain from his missed opportunity, Marcus recovered, his anger and frustration now fueling his actions. He lifted Sparrow in a display of sheer power and slammed him back-first into the cell wall. Not yet satisfied, Marcus then set up two chairs face-to-face inside the ring, signaling another attempt at a catastrophic maneuver. Dragging Sparrow back to the ring, Marcus positioned him for a powerbomb aimed right between the chairs. But Sparrow, resilient as ever, managed to counter mid-air, transitioning into a DDT that drove Marcus's head directly onto one of the chairs. Both men lay sprawled among the twisted metal, their breathing heavy, their bodies etched with the toll of the match. The audience was on the edge of their seats as Sparrow used the cell to pull himself up, his every movement labored but determined. Marcus, too, showed signs of wear, his earlier dominance now challenged by Sparrow’s tenacity and heart. As both competitors stood, staggering and leaning on each other for support, the tension was palpable. The next moves would prove crucial in the unforgiving confines of Hell in a Cell, with both warriors knowing that the climax was near and each determined to end it on their terms. The second third of the match concluded with both men eyeing each other warily, gathering their last reserves of energy for the final confrontation that would decide the fate of the Empire Championship. In the final moments of this grueling Hell in a Cell match for the Empire Championship, both Marcus Black and Sparrow summoned their remaining strength for what would be a climactic finish. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, the tension almost tangible as both competitors eyed each other with a mix of respect and resolve to finish the contest. Slowly, both men circled each other in the center of the ring, their movements labored from the intense battle they had endured. With a sudden burst of energy, Sparrow lunged at Marcus with a series of swift kicks, each strike echoing through the arena. Marcus absorbed the blows, countering with a powerful uppercut that rocked Sparrow back on his heels. Sparrow, undeterred, responded with his trademark agility. He vaulted off the ropes, delivering a devastating flying knee that caught Marcus squarely in the jaw, stunning the larger man. Sensing his opportunity, Sparrow didn’t hesitate; he sprinted up the turnbuckle, pausing only for a moment to gauge his position before launching into his signature move, The Notorious K.I.C.K. II, a top-rope double foot stomp aimed right at Marcus, who lay vulnerable on the mat. However, as Sparrow descended, Marcus miraculously rolled away, using the last of his energy to evade the finishing move. Both men were quick to their feet, Marcus lunging forward in a last-ditch attempt to secure victory with his devastating finisher, the Blackout Slam. But Sparrow, ever the resilient fighter, slipped out of Marcus’s grasp at the last second, countering with a quick roll-up pin. The referee slid into position, the crowd counting along as he hit the mat: one, two, three. The bell rang, and Sparrow was declared the winner, capturing the Empire Championship in a match that tested the limits of both competitors. Exhausted and battered, Sparrow lay in the center of the ring, the Empire Championship belt draped over him. He had not only survived the Hell in a Cell but had also managed to dethrone Marcus Black against all odds. As medical personnel attended to both wrestlers, the respect between them was evident, despite the brutal nature of their encounter. Marcus, helped to his feet, nodded to Sparrow in a gesture of respect. He recognized the heart and soul Sparrow had poured into the match, acknowledging that the better man had won on this night. As Sparrow celebrated his victory, climbing each turnbuckle to roar in triumph with the crowd, the camera captured the culmination of a journey filled with setbacks and challenges. This victory was more than just a championship win; it was a vindication of Sparrow’s resilience, skill, and unbreakable spirit. The match would be remembered as a classic confrontation in the annals of wrestling, a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to endure and overcome.

Amid the cheers, Julian Savell, the charismatic and scheming leader of The Division, made his way to the ring, his presence commanding attention. His congratulatory applause for Sparrow, however, had a veneer of insincerity that those familiar with his character could easily detect.
As Julian entered the ring, he extended his hand to Sparrow, offering warm congratulations with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. The crowd's reaction was mixed, sensing the duplicity in his gestures.
Julian Savell: "What a match, Sparrow! Truly, you are a champion worthy of the Empire Championship. Let’s make this victory even more memorable, shall we? Robb Hardy, please, join us in celebrating this monumental victory!"
The request seemed benign, but there was a subtle edge to Julian’s tone that hinted at underlying intentions. As Robb Hardy reluctantly made his way out, the Hell in a Cell structure began to lift, signaling the end of the official match. However, as Robb approached the ring, The Division—Tyson Gregory, Wade Manson, RAZE, Olly, Thatcher Ray Nash, and Benjamin Atlas—emerged from the crowd, storming the ring with a violent intent that caught everyone off guard.
The Division swarmed the ring, launching a vicious attack on Sparrow and Marcus Black. Both men, exhausted from their previous brutal encounter, struggled to defend themselves against the fresh and aggressive onslaught. The crowd booed loudly, their excitement turning to anger as they witnessed the unfair advantage.
Robb Hardy, witnessing the chaos unfold, was visibly irate and distraught. He stormed towards the ring, attempting to intervene, but Julian Savell calmly held him back, his words chillingly calm amidst the chaos.
Julian Savell: "Robb, there's no need for theatrics. Let’s keep this civil, shall we?"
As Robb struggled against Julian's restraint, Julian pointed up towards the top of the Hammerstein Ballroom. There, shockingly, Jack Graves was seen holding McKena Hardy perilously over the balcony. The crowd gasped in horror at the sight, and Robb's anger turned to sheer panic.
Julian Savell: "Now, Robb, if you want to ensure your daughter’s safety, you’ll do exactly as I say. Tyson Gregory deserves a shot at the Empire Championship, right here, right now."
Julian Savell: "Now, Robb, if you want to ensure your daughter’s safety, you’ll do exactly as I say. Tyson Gregory deserves a shot at the Empire Championship, right here, right now."
Torn between his duty as a GM and his instincts as a father, Robb's face was a portrait of anguish. With tears in his eyes and a heavy heart, he looked up at his daughter, fearing for her life.
Robb Hardy: (voice breaking) "Alright, Julian. You get your match. But you better ensure my daughter’s safety. You hear me?"
Julian smiled, his plan coming to fruition as he signaled Jack Graves at the top of the arena. Sparrow, barely able to stand, was forced to face Tyson Gregory, who was fresh and eager. The bell rang, and Tyson quickly delivered his finishing move, The End of Your Sorrow, on Sparrow, pinning him mercilessly for the win.
As Tyson celebrated his new title as the Empire Champion, Jack Graves and McKena Hardy were seen not in distress, but hugging and laughing. It became painfully clear to everyone, especially Robb, that he had been manipulated into a ruse orchestrated by The Division. McKena had been part of the plan all along.
The closing scene was a powerful image of The Division celebrating in the ring, hoisting Tyson Gregory on their shoulders, as Julian Savell held the Empire Championship belt high. The supershow's title, "When Empire’s Fall and Liberty is Lost," echoed ominously throughout the arena, a prophetic reflection of the night’s events. The crowd’s jeers filled the arena as the show came to a close, the implications of The Division’s power play hanging heavily in the air.
