Match Notes:
In an insanely athletic wrestling clinic it was Digital, Danny James fighting Ace Sky and Marshall Coté with the crowd heavily behind him. James kept the crowd happy with tope con hijo's and unorthodox planchas throughout. James finally pays risk of going high risk when Coté catches him after a moonsault attempt. With James on his shoulder, Coté performs a snake eyes before nearly taking James' head off with a powerful clothesline. Moments later Marshall Coté is hit with a springboard flying forearm from Ace Sky. Sky makes the cover on Coté,

...

...
...2!...BREAK COUNT!...

Danny James flies in to make the save, keeping hope alive for all involved. All three men make every moment count, but in the end it was Marshall Coté who hits both Ace Sky and Danny James with individual detonation kicks before locking Sky into a heel hook and forcing him to tap out.

Winner: Marshall Coté
Finishing Move: No Adjective Needed
Near Falls: Sky(2) Danny James(2) Marshall Coté(3)

Match Notes:
The true heavyweights of the division start off with a simple test of strength. Andrew Wilkow get the better of the two and he laughs about it as he controls Duke, walking her around the ring with their fingers interlocked and he wrist cranked in an awkward position. Duke is able to show some athleticism and cartwheels, surprising the crowd and Wilkow. From the sight we are seeing the big girl can move. Mischa Killings seen in the audience stands up and gets the crowd to rally behind Teresa just before she brings Andrew Wilkow down with a hip toss. Surprised at first, Andrew Wilkow cracks a smile before rising to his feet.

Teresa Duke is impressive in the early going, taking control of the match and keeps Andrew Wilkow in an uncomfortable position. Reluctant as he seems when the time comes, an opening is created and Andrew Wilkow nearly takes off Teresa's head with a lariat! The crowd starts to rally behind Wilkow as he hits consecutive lariats, every time Duke rises to her feet.

Wilkow shouts "HEAVYWEIGHTS BABY!" before Teresa Duke catches him by surprise with a sitout jaw breaker! Duke makes the cover,

...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...KICKOUT!...
...

Duke stays on Andrew Wilkow like a groupie on Griffin Hawkins and she locks in a reverse chin lock. For a moment Duke appears to have Andrew Wilkow right where she wants him until an Atlanta Slammer attempt is blocked by Wilkow and Duke eats an elbow strike from Andrew Wilkow and both competitors fall to the canvas. Wilkow is first to his feet and he paces around the ring shouting to the crowd, "Time to show her how its done!" before lifting Duke off of her feet and slinging her across the ring with the midget toss! Wilkow jumps to his feet and slaps his shoulders and then his chest before shouting, "TAKE ME HOME!" the ICWA fans begin singing John Denver and we all know what that leads to.

Andrew Wilkow spikes Duke with a jacknife powerbomb before making the cover,

Match Notes:
The Bruiserweight Champion against the toughest competitor on the ICWA roster. This was for sure match of the evening. It began with McMoney staying in control and doing everything in his power to stop Catriona MacKenzie. McMoney catches MacKenzie in the early going with the Joint Account, modifid chicken wing, and it looks to be the end for MacKenzie but she very wisely uses McMoney's momentum against him to get herself into an awkward pinfall attempt,

...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...KICKOUT!...
...

McMoney and Catriona separate briefly but McMoney is quick to connect with a suicide dive between the ropes, smashing MacKenzie in the face. Killings makes herself known again, shouting from the crowd, "That's what you deserve bitch!" MacKenzie rises to her feet slowly and swings a quick backfist, smacking Mischa in the face before focusing on McMoney again.

The Highlander Era is in full effect as she turns the tide after side stepping a spear attempt from McMoney that causes McMoney to fly into the ring steps.

Cat Mack brutalize McMoney from this point. Rolling into the ring and back out multiple times, just so she can continue the beating. They take the fight back into the ring and that's when Mischa Killings leaps the guard rail but is stopped by Security and with Cat Mack distracted for a moment, McMoney uses this opportunity to hit Cat mack with a JAW DROPPER!!! McMoney makes the cover and the crowd counts with the ref,

...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...KICKOUT!...
...

The crowd pops and McMoney can't believe it. McMoney sets up for the McPayDay but Cat Mack ducks underneath before hoisting McMoney into a firemen's carry before hitting BEAM ME UP SCOTTIE! Cat Mack makes the cover,

...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...BREAK COUNT!...
...

Killings some how slips through securities clutches and pulls the official out of the ring. MacKenzie rises to her feet, angered and starts taunting Mischa Killings, challenging her to enter the ring. Security grabs Mischa and Cat Mack baseball slides into Mischa, connecting her shoes with Mischa's face. Mischa and security fall over like bowling pins and the fans erupt with boos as Catriona MacKenzie taunts Mischa while more security and JB rush out to ringside.

MacKenzie enters the ring again and is hit by the MCPAYDAY!!! The fans pop as McMoney makes the cover, but the official is on the outside, dealing with Mischa and security. With everyone distracted Ashley Anders comes out and smashes McMoney in the face with the Bruiserweight Championship!

Anders slips away unnoticed and a curious JB orders the Official back into the ring. The ref enters just as Cat Mack hits Beam Me Up Scottie once again. Mack makes the cover,

DING! DING! DING!
