We found out Tony James was injured, so it was announced Skrilla would defend his title in a triple threat, street fight match against Logan Creed and Clyde Braddock.
(4) Fatal fourway to determine the #1 contender for Skrilla's title...CJ Morgan (CJ Ussery) vs. John Forge vs. Mr. Wright (Ryan Wright) vs. Dee Munny. I thought for sure Mr. Wright would win ti challenge his buddy next month, but it wasn't to be. However I wasn't wrong about the fact that Dee Munny definitely wasn't going to win. Ultimately CJ did the seemingly impossible by getting a surprise pin on Forge.

(1) Troy Navarro got his ass kicked by Wild Thing. Don't
think Troy prayed hard enough before the match.
(2) Second match (which was definitely not the main event) was Transcendent ("Mr. Also Appearing" Robert Vien and Jay Riley) vs. Voodoo and Scratch. This was a hard match for me to know who to cheer for, because while my very soul demands I cheer against Vien, he was giving Nick Bryan shit for being annoying, which actually made me want to pop for Rob. Is the enemy of my enemy my friend? Ultimately I decided that both are pretty awful, so I was pulling for Voodoo. Though there was an early false finish that made it look like Transcendent lost, the match continued and they scored the win.
(3) Renegade Enforcer vs. Alex Chase. Despite the "**** the police" chants going on, Enforcer picked up the win.

(5) After the intermission, we had a triple threat match featuring JC Kelly, Eddie Honcho and Luke Stone. Luke picked up the win by pinning Eddie.
(6) Yacht Club (Bryce Cannon and Kyle Croft) against the West Coast Kings (Ehren Black
and Austin Towers). Man, some of the blows were brutal! Yacht Club
looked outmatched early, but Bryce gained the advantage by hitting
Austin from behind with his paddle while the ref was distracted. They
worked in him for a while but eventually the Kings came back and pinned
Kyle. Yacht Club's record already looking weak in comparison to Bryce's
Frat Party team, but given who they were against, that doesn't mean the
Yacht Club are done for.
Main event of the evening was Skrilla (Tevoris Dumas) defending his title against Logan Creed. It was announced that Clyde wouldn't be competing as Logan had challenged him to a drink off backstage and Clyde now wasn't able to compete. So last month, Clyde bitches he wasn't in the show, and this month he proves himself a lightweight unable to compete?!
This was another hard hitting fight that saw Skrilla being dominated through much of it. Audience was torn between the two, with one half chanting for Logan and the other half chanting for Skrilla. There were some BRUTAL chair shots in this one. Ending saw Renegade Enforcer come out and attack Logan. It looked like he was also going to go after Skrilla, but turns out the two are in cahoots! Skrilla done turned heel and pinned the now defenseless Logan. Mr. Wright (Ryan Wright) accompanied Skrilla to the ring but had left to let Skrilla fight in his own; he came out after the match looking kind of disappointed in Skrilla, but we'll have to wait until next time to hear his thoughts.
