Boston, Massachusetts | March 30, 2023
The show opened with the owner of GWC, Charles Winston, in the ring with a microphone. He thanked the fans in attendance and the fans watching on television for tuning into the show. He announced two tournaments. One to crown the first World Champion and one to crown the first Women's World Champion. He announced that the tournaments would be starting tonight and would continue weekly until the champions were crowned. The crowd cheered in excitement, and Winston left the ring to let the night's action get under way.
Darren Emerson vs Liam Knight
Darren Emerson's athletic, high-flying style and Liam Knight's brawling, strike-based style made for an interesting match-up. Knight tried to keep the fight on the ground but couldn't seem to catch Emerson. In the end, it was Darren Emerson getting the win after hitting the Release Tiger Bomb for the three-count.
Haley Storm vs Arden Blair
Haley Storm looked to come out and have the same luck as her boyfriend Darren Emerson, who just wrestled the previous match. Arden Blair had other plans though. Storm used her athleticism to try to gain an advantage, but Arden had an answer for almost everything thrown her way. Arden eventually caught Storm with her finishing move, the One Night Stand, and got the pinfall victory.
Kaleb Kraven vs Ubel Kol
Ubel Kol had an obvious size and power advantage over Kaleb Kraven, but Kaleb used mostly evasive moves to avoid getting caught by Kol. It worked fairly well for him. But when his longtime rival Dalton Vito's music hit, his focus left the match and fixated on the entrance ramp allowing Ubel Kol an opportunity to hit his Sit-out Last Ride Powerbomb. He hit the move and stood back up to put his foot on Kraven's chest for a three-count.
After the match, Dalton Vito came out laughing and clapping, microphone in hand. He told Kaleb that their match in FFP was the only time he would ever get to claim a victory over Dalton Vito. He claimed that that match was a fluke, and that Kaleb would pay the price. He then dropped the microphone and headed to the ring. He slid in and started punching an already beaten-down Kraven. Kaleb's girlfriend Seara Iverson and his best friend Darren Emerson ran down to the ring, but Dalton quickly got out of the ring before they got there. He hopped over the barricade and started yelling at the three in the ring. Seara and Darren checked on Kaleb in the ring, and eventually, Darren helped Kaleb to the back. Seara looked concerned, but stayed in the ring because she had a match up next.
Seara Iverson vs Kennedy Monroe
Seara stood in the ring and looked furious at what had just transpired. As soon as the bell rang, Seara ran at Kennedy and tackled her. She laid into Kennedy with rapid punches. Seara got up and let out a yell. Kennedy was able to get to her feet using the ropes, but wasn't up for long before getting hit with a running knee. Kennedy hit the mat and was able to roll out of the ring, hoping for a break, but Seara quickly followed. The overwhelming offense continued and eventually Seara hit a Canadian Destroyer in the center of the ring for the pinfall victory. She grabbed a microphone and told Dalton Vito to leave the arena before she got backstage, or he was going to have hell to pay.
Backstage
The scene cut to the backstage area where paramedics were checking on an unconscious Colton Riggs, who was supposed to be in the next match. GWC Owner Charles Winston stood behind the paramedics and asked if any of them knew what happened but none of them did. Jeremy Nordin, the man who was supposed to face Colton, approached Charles Winston and asked what this meant for him in the tournament. Winston told him that he'd find an opponent to replace Colton by the end of the night. Jeremy went to walk away, but Winston grabbed his shoulder and turned him back around. Winston told Jeremy that he was the main suspect for whatever happened to Colton. Jeremy rolled his eyes and walked away.
Clementine Fairchild vs Tempest Saint
Clementine Fairchild is small, but that's no reason to count her out. These two were very evenly matched and put on a great match that had the crowd on their feet. Tempest finally gained an advantage and was setting up for what looked like a Powerbomb, but Clementine was able to escape. She quickly rolled Saint up with a schoolboy pin for a three count. Clementine looked shocked after getting the win and Tempest sat up and smirked, as if to say, "you got me." The two met in the middle of the ring and hugged as the crowd cheered. Saint lifted Clementine's arm and then joined the crowd's applause.
??? vs Jeremy Nordin
Jeremy Nordin made his way to the ring first and waited to see who his new opponent would be. After waiting for a little while, "Trying To Find A Balance" by Atmosphere played over the arena speakers and Jeremy Nordin, along with the audience, was introduced to Pandora. She entered the ring and stood face-to-face with Jeremy. Jeremy looked both confused and surprised.
The bell rang and Pandora immediately made a statement by delivering a clothesline that rocked Jeremy. She stood over him and flexed. He let out a frustrated laugh and got up, only to be met with another clothesline. Pandora went for a pin but only got a two-count.
Nordin was able to find his stride and slow down Pandora's momentum when he caught her with a dropkick that sent her out of the ring. He started showboating to the crowd as Pandora collected herself outside of the ring.
She got back into the ring while Nordin was still showing off to the crowd. When he turned around, he was met with a Spear from Pandora that got her another two-count, this one closer than the last. She picked him up and he poked her in the eyes, which allowed him to get some momentum back.
He hit a flying crossbody from the top rope but only got a two-count out of it. He slowed the match down with a headlock on the mat. Pandora repeatedly hit the canvas and the crowd joined in with claps. She rolled Jeremy onto his shoulders for a count and he kicked out, which forced him to break up the headlock.
She rallied back, hitting him with clotheslines and punches. She attempted a back body drop but he was able to land on his feet. He turned around and went for a clothesline that missed, which allowed her to hit the ropes and hit him with another Spear. But before she could make the cover, he rolled out of the ring. She laid in the ring for a bit, frustrated, but eventually rolled out. She approached Nordin on the ground and as she got closer, he poked her in the eyes again.
He put her in another headlock and started punching her in the face repeatedly. The crowd booed and let him know that they didn't approve of his tactics. He laughed at them and threw Pandora over the commentary table. He walked over to a young fan and grabbed his bag of popcorn. He then grabbed a steel chair and set it up in the ring to eat the popcorn on it.
Not long after, Pandora stood back up and flipped the commentary table in frustration. Jeremy looked over like he had seen a ghost. He threw the bag of popcorn out of the ring and at her, which only infuriated her more. She got back in the ring and hit Nordin with a massive big boot. She grabbed the chair that was still in the middle of the ring and threw it up the entrance ramp. She grabbed Nordin, who was struggling to get to his feet and set up for a Powerbomb. She flexed to the crowd before hoisting him up and forcefully throwing him down, successfully connecting with the Powerbomb. She covered him and the ref counted to three. Pandora had won and would be advancing in the World Title Tournament.
