Referee Hernandez calls for the bell. There's a small hesistation by all three competitors; neither wanting to give the other two an opening. Aaron approaches Silas only to pivot for Scarlett with a measured punch to the temple. Silas' clothesline misses Pace but sends Wilkes down and she rolls out the ring. Pace lights up Romero's chest with chops, then shoulder thrusts in the corner. Pace tells Silas he's not going any further in the tournament, but he falls over thanks to Scarlett pulling his leg from outside.

Romero capitalizes on the opening with a standing leap onto the second rope and drops the elbow on Pace. He stays in control with some muay thai strikes to position Pace up against the ropes. Romero backs up two steps and staggers Pace with a running european uppercut. Silas shoots Aaron off the ropes and meets him on the rebound with a big boot before snarling at the hard cam. A red-head catches his eye and Scarlett backs up from the apron. Romero starts off in pursuit for Wilkes; chasing her back into the ring. Wilkes catches Romero with a kick to the side of the head, then some mid-section kicks before she drops Romero with three double axe handles to his back. Scarlett turns her attention back to Aaron, who receives the same set of strikes Romero did. The TV Star locks both men in a front face-lock and after a small, but quick nod to the crowd, she drops both men with a DDT. Scarlett secures a pin on Romero: 1-----2-- but Romero kicks out. She immediately hooks the leg on Aaron for another pin: 1-----2- but Aaron kicks out!

Scarlett doesn't take her foot off the gas pedal. As soon as Pace uses the corner to get back up, she's serving out repeated back elbows hot and fresh. She moves back to Romero and, given their history, starts off with a tasteless slap before raining down punches. She moves back to Pace and prepares another DDT. Pace had other ideas and the one that comes to mind is an exploder suplex into the corner. Pace didn't get back up because Romero strikes with a hard running kick to the ribs. Pace's yell is picked up by ringside cameras. Romero strikes with intensity as he gives Aaron's chest a barrage of kicks. The King Of All Things follows this up with a swinging neckbreaker and quickly floats over to pin the Pacemaker: 1-----2- but Aaron stays alive. Pace doesn't get back up as Romero comes by with a running enziguri that Romero hopes turned Aaron's lights out. He rolls Aaron onto his back, forearm across the chest, both legs hooked this time: 1-----2 and Scarlett breaks things up with a straight boot to Romero's face. She takes his place on Pace for the pin: 1-----2-- with Aaron kicking out.

Aaron hits an inverted DDT on Scarlett, quickly trying to cover the TV starlet Scarlett: only for Romero to slide in with a knee to the jaw. Pace is down by the ropes checking his jaw is intact while Silas sets Scarlett up for a brainbuster. Wilkes' flexibility saves her as she's able to drive knees into Romero. The Technical Masterpiece Romero drops Wilkes back on her feet. She takes a step back like an MLS striker before trying to low blow Silas again. Romero catches her leg, wagging his finger and throws down Scarlett's leg. In comes Aaron Pace who turns Silas inside out with a lariat meant for Scarlett. Pace then feels Scarlett latch on; legs around his waist and a rear naked choke applied. The Pacemaker is strong enough to pull that apart and performs a rolling senton to squash Scarlett into the mat. Hernandez sees this cover and makes the count: but Scarlett isn't done yet. Aaron drags Scarlett up and sets her up for the Gory Bomb. He shows her off to the audience on each side of the ring but Romero causes the impact with a superkick right on the chin. Scarlett takes the gory bomb and Pace falls on his back. Romero makes the cover and Hernandez is right there to count: but there's still life in Aaron Pace. Romero traps the arm he kicks out with and locks in his Arkham Asylum submission hold: Aaron refuses to tap - Romero wrenches tighter and looks willing to break the nose if that's the way it has to be - Wilkes locks in the Ginger Snap on Romero!

Hernandez is darting between Aaron and Silas checking if either wants to submit: After a minute into the hold Aaron slowly rolls free as Romero's grip loosens. Scarlett fully locks in the hold ----- Aaron Pace's stomp to the back breaks things up. Pace tosses Wilkes to the outside and targets the slower, faded Romero. This Gory Bomb is quick and effective and Aaron rolls him over for a cover: and Romero kicks out; frustrating Aaron Pace. Aaron tries to set up something with several strikes but the Knockout Supreme Silas Romero retaliates with an FYF combo; Standing Head Kick feeding into a Superkick, and concludes on a Rebound Jumping Knee Strike.

Aaron Pace comes in quick on Scarlett with Pace Out; a string of STO Backbreakers with the audience counting them out: . Scarlett falls to the floor holding her back in sheer agony. Pace helps her up only to throw her out the ring and gets his third strike to the jaw; another superkick! Romero lifts Aaron up in the corner and fires up with hard chops; Aaron's already red chest gets another lashing. Romero heads to the top and looks for an exloder suplex from this height. Pace fights back with headbutts at first, then a push that sends Romero down to the mat. Pace does what any powerhouse would do at this height; throws himself at Romero with a flying shoulder block from the top rope. Romero rolls over and finds himself in the other corner. Pace advances like a shark in a bloodfrenzy with rapid knees for Romero. Pace takes Romero to the high risk district. Aaron gets himself on the second rope. Both superstars are back to back. Pace looks like he's going to go for a devastating Pacemaker but Romero breaks free just as Aaron gets moving.

Jorja signals for the official Issak Morrison to count the fall but Dezzi still wants to fight on. 'The Hardest Yakka' gets herself up and beats down the backs of Vebbi and Dezzi with hammer fists. She ripcord chops both opponents down and then positions both women in the corner. Azurine in front of Dezzi. Vebbins takes a loud, thunderous open handed chop to the chest and drops to the floor.
