Opening Match: “Velocity Reborn” – #1 Contender for the Cruiserweight Title
Speedball Mike Bailey vs Santos Escobar vs El Phantasmo vs Cedric Alexander vs Dominik Mysterio
Iron Grip kicks off with a fireworks display of speed, athleticism, and arrogance. Speedball and Alexander set the tone early with high-octane sequences, forcing Escobar to retreat ringside to regroup. ELP springboards off the ropes for a double moonsault that connects perfectly, setting the crowd ablaze. Dominik plays opportunist, sliding in with cheap shots and smirking at the jeering fans.
Midway through, Speedball goes wild—lighting up ELP with rapid kicks before moonsaulting onto Escobar outside. Cedric dives over everyone with a suicide dive, while Dominik hides near the apron, waiting for his chance. Inside, ELP connects with Sudden Death on Escobar, but Speedball nails him with the Tornado Kick. Before Speedball can finish the job, Dominik sneaks in, shoving him into the post.
Dominik climbs the ropes, delivers a perfect Frog Splash to Escobar, and steals the victory to massive boos. He grins, blowing a kiss toward his father backstage.

Match 3: “The Foreign Flame” – Cruiserweight Championship
Hiromu Takahashi (c) vs Jack Morris

Hiromu retaliates with pure insanity—biting Morris’s wrist mid-grapple before hitting a diving senton to the outside. The crowd chants “Hi-ro-mu!” as the champion’s reckless energy takes over.
Morris lands a spinebuster for a near fall and goes for a powerbomb, but Hiromu reverses into a sunset flip bomb that sends both men tumbling outside. Back in, Hiromu connects with a Death Valley Driver into the corner. Morris somehow powers out of a Time Bomb attempt and delivers a thunderous lariat. Both men collapse.
They rise at the same time and trade wild strikes until Hiromu hits Time Bomb II—kickout! The crowd gasps. Hiromu screams, hoists Morris up again, and delivers Time Bomb III to seal it.
Winner: Hiromu Takahashi (Retains Cruiserweight Championship)
Match 4: “House of Shadows”
Malakai Black vs KENTA
From the moment the lights dim, the atmosphere turns sinister. The two strikers circle each other, every movement deliberate, every glance poisonous. KENTA fires the first shot with a stiff forearm, followed by a Busaiku Knee that nearly ends it in 30 seconds. Malakai kicks out and smirks.
They trade vicious kicks, neither giving ground. Malakai’s precision meets KENTA’s fury, and the crowd is on edge for every strike. A mid-match double knockdown leaves both men bleeding. KENTA grabs the ropes to rise, but Malakai calmly sits cross-legged in the center, daring him to approach.
KENTA charges with another knee—misses—Black Mass! The sound echoes like a gunshot. Malakai doesn’t even go for the pin immediately; he kneels beside KENTA, whispers something haunting, then covers him for three.
After the bell, the lights flicker again. Brody King briefly appears in the shadows, staring down at Malakai before disappearing. The alliance has begun to form.
Winner: Malakai Black
Match 5: “Aerial Aftershock” – Trios Championship
Young Bucks & Ricochet (c) vs Bronson Reed, Kyle Fletcher, & Buddy Matthews
The challengers come in determined to prove themselves, with Bronson Reed acting as the unstoppable anchor. Ricochet opens fast, flipping circles around Fletcher, until Buddy tags in and turns the pace into raw violence. Matthews and Ricochet exchange stiff forearms, building to a dizzying speed.
The Bucks enter, turning it into a superkick frenzy, but Reed mows through both brothers with a double clothesline. Fletcher nails a brainbuster on Ricochet, then tags in Buddy, who goes for the pump handle slam—only for the lights to flicker briefly. The camera catches Adam Cole at ringside smirking.
Cole distracts Buddy, shouting “This is OUR house!” which lets Nick Jackson hit a low superkick. The champs capitalize: double superkick on Fletcher, then a Meltzer Driver + 630 Splash from Ricochet.
Cole nods toward the Bucks, helping them retain. Buddy storms off post-match, furious at the interference.

**Main Event: “CHAOS ASCENDS” – World Heavyweight Championship **
CM Punk (c) vs Drew McIntyre vs Will Ospreay vs Brody King
The tension is suffocating before the bell. Punk grips the title like his life depends on it, Drew paces like a predator, and Ospreay stretches, eyes fixed on his prize. Suddenly—darkness.
When the lights return, Brody King stands in the ring with a steel chain in his hands, eyes filled with madness. The crowd roars as he attacks before the bell—laying waste to everyone in sight. Ospreay gets tossed over the top rope, Punk eats a chain-wrapped fist to the face, and Drew is driven spine-first into the corner. The referee pleads for order, but the chaos is biblical.
The bell rings mid-riot. Drew and Punk, longtime rivals, temporarily unite, double-teaming Brody with right hands and a double DDT. Ospreay recovers, springboarding into a flying forearm that wipes out all three men. He follows up with a Shooting Star Press to the outside, taking everyone down.
Back in the ring, Punk connects with the GTS on Ospreay, but Drew breaks it up with a Claymore that nearly decapitates him. Drew lifts Punk for a Future Shock DDT—but Brody rises, blood dripping from his mouth, and smashes both men with a double lariat that shakes the ring.
Ospreay goes airborne again—Hidden Blade to Brody! He covers—1… 2… NO! Brody throws him off like a ragdoll. Drew hits another Claymore, Punk locks in the Anaconda Vise—Brody won’t tap! He rips free and slams Punk with a Death Valley Driver through a table.
Then—the lights go out again.
When they flicker back on, Malakai Black, KENTA, Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Karrion Kross—collectively known as Dark Reign—surround the ring. The crowd loses its mind.
Drew charges first, but Priest catches him and delivers the Razor’s Edge. Ospreay leaps from the ropes but eats a Coup de Grâce from Balor midair. Punk, bloodied and defiant, spits at Malakai—only to get dropped with Black Mass.
Brody, barely standing, looks around in confusion before Malakai steps forward and extends his hand. The crowd gasps as Brody accepts. Malakai whispers something into Brody’s ear, then hands him the steel chain.
Brody wraps the chain around Punk’s throat, lifts him, and slams him down with a Gonzo Bomb so vicious the ring shakes.
1… 2… 3.
Winner: Brody King (NEW World Heavyweight Champion)
Darkness swallows the arena. The only light left shines on Brody King, standing tall with the world title dripping in blood. Malakai and Balor flank him as Kross, Priest, and KENTA stand guard.
Malakai raises Brody’s arm, and the new champion lets out a primal roar as black mist fills the air. The final shot of the night shows Dark Reign standing tall over the broken bodies of Punk, Ospreay, and McIntyre—symbols of a fallen era.
Iron Grip is theirs now.
