IWRA Storm Kicks Off with Brutal Pinnacle Qualifier Between Max Montana and Tommy Hawkins

The road to Pinnacle has officially begun, and IWRA Storm wasted no time delivering a high-stakes showdown between Max Montana and Tommy Hawkins. Both men were looking to qualify for the prestigious Pinnacle Ladder Match, but the night took a violent turn before the match even began.

As Tommy Hawkins made his way to the ring, he was blindsided by none other than Zac Braddock. Braddock, who has been a thorn in Tommy’s side for months, launched a brutal ambush, shoving Hawkins into the ring apron and then smashing him against the steel stairs before rolling him into the ring. Official John Cole immediately intervened, warning Braddock to back off. After ensuring Hawkins was still able to compete, the bell finally rang to start the match.

Despite the pre-match assault, Tommy Hawkins exploded into action. With a high-flying offense, he took Montana down with a massive dropkick to the head. Montana barely had time to recover before Hawkins struck again, pummelling him with a series of strikes and capping it off with a moonsault. Hawkins stayed on the offensive, delivering two devastating brainbusters before attempting a pin, but Montana kicked out just in time.

Attempting to maintain control, Hawkins dragged Montana toward the turnbuckles, but the resilient Montana fought back with a sharp elbow, forcing Hawkins to stumble away. Seizing the opportunity, Montana took Hawkins down and rebounded off the ropes to deliver a crushing splash. The action spilled to the outside, where Montana executed a stunning somersault dive over the ropes, taking Hawkins out at ringside.

Montana continued his assault outside the ring, punishing Hawkins against the barricades. However, when he attempted to throw Tommy back into the ring, Hawkins reversed the momentum, sending Montana crashing against the apron instead. Hawkins wasted no time, leaping back into the ring, only to be yanked across the mat by Montana, who was determined to regain control.

After a back-and-forth exchange, Hawkins gained the upper hand once again, taking Montana down with a hurricanrana before attempting a pinfall. John Cole counted to three, seemingly awarding the victory to Hawkins. But Leon Graves, Montana’s Havoc tag partner, quickly pointed out that Montana had grabbed the rope during the pin, an action Cole had not noticed. The referee reversed the call, and as Hawkins protested the decision, Montana capitalized, delivering a brutal punch that floored Tommy.

Hawkins tried to roll out of the ring for a breather, but Montana stayed in pursuit. Standing at the ropes, Montana blocked Hawkins from re-entering the ring. When Hawkins turned to leave, he was met by Leon Graves, who forced him back toward the squared circle. Montana wasted no time, dragging Hawkins back inside and unleashing a relentless barrage of fists. As Hawkins struggled to defend himself, John Cole stepped in to pull Montana away, but Montana broke free and continued his onslaught. After repeated warnings, Cole had no choice but to call off the match, declaring Tommy Hawkins unable to continue.

But the chaos wasn’t over yet. With Hawkins helpless in the ring, Montana ordered Graves to grab a steel chair. What followed was a merciless beating, as Montana slammed the chair down onto Hawkins’ body before Graves joined in, adding to the destruction. The crowd erupted in boos, but Havoc remained unfazed, savouring their brutality.

As the carnage unfolded, the Braddock Brothers’ music hit, and the duo stepped onto the stage, clapping in approval. Zac Braddock and his brother watched on, seemingly impressed with the damage Havoc had inflicted on their common enemy. With alliances shifting and chaos brewing on the road to Pinnacle, one thing is clear: Tommy Hawkins’ fight for redemption is far from over.

Max Montana may have secured a spot in the Pinnacle Ladder Match, but at what cost? And what role will the Braddock Brothers play in this ever-intensifying storm? The IWRA landscape is shifting, and Pinnacle is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable events of the year.

However, Jordan Hale capitalized on a distraction and finally managed to throw TNT over the ropes, ending her dominant streak.

The Dream Team Retain Women’s Tag Team Titles in a Chaotic TLC Match

The IWRA Armageddon pay-per-view continued with a high-stakes Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) match for the IWRA Women’s Tag Team Championships. The defending champions, the Dream Team—Becca Snow and Ace—faced off against the Syndicate—Emily Bowlin and Sarah Bowers. Tensions were already running high after Emily Bowlin’s shocking betrayal of her mother, Terri Bowlin, earlier in the night, a moment that would come back to haunt her before the final bell.

The match descended into chaos from the moment the bell rang. Emily Bowlin squared off with Becca Snow while Sarah Bowers took on Ace. Emily quickly gained the upper hand, swinging Becca into the turnbuckles and delivering a brutal kick. Meanwhile, Ace showcased her power, pulling Sarah into a devastating powerbomb before rolling out of the ring to retrieve a ladder. Becca Snow, not to be outdone, grabbed a steel chair and hurled it at Sarah as she tried to get to her feet.

Ace capitalized, slamming the ladder into Sarah, forcing her back down before sliding it into the ring. Becca Snow regained control, using the chair to batter both members of the Syndicate one by one. The chaos escalated as Ace smashed a table into Sarah before throwing her into the ring. Sarah, determined to turn the tide, set up the ladder and began to climb, but Becca Snow pursued her, landing punches as Sarah attempted to secure the first pin in the lock. After an intense exchange of blows at the top of the ladder, Becca finally knocked Sarah backward, sending her crashing to the mat—only for Emily Bowlin to tip the ladder, sending Becca hurtling down with her.

With Becca stunned on the mat, Emily climbed the turnbuckles and delivered a high-flying elbow. Ace responded with a devastating powerbomb to Sarah. As Becca recovered, she attempted to set up the ladder once more, but Emily struck her with a kendo stick. The impact sent Becca toppling backward, collapsing the ladder on top of her as Emily continued to rain down blows until the kendo stick shattered.

Meanwhile, Ace set up another ladder outside the ring between the apron and the announce desk, while also resetting the ladder in the centre of the ring. Sarah tried to regain control by swinging Ace into the turnbuckles, but Becca intervened with a snap suplex that sent Sarah rolling out of the ring. With Ace distracted, Emily capitalized, slamming the ladder closed and sending Becca crashing down once again.

Sarah Bowers took another chance at the top of the ladder, battling Becca Snow while Emily Bowlin fought off Ace. In a breath-taking moment, Sarah grabbed hold of the championship belts, swinging herself over to Becca and letting go, taking Becca down with a hurricanrana. As Sarah searched for another ladder under the stage, Emily and Becca fought outside the ring, while Ace managed to set up the ladder and secure another pin in the lock. Emily dove into the ring at the last moment, pulling Ace down by the boot and taking her out with a devastating kick. Seizing control, Emily ripped the ladder away from Becca and speared her in the stomach before climbing to the top.

Just as Emily reached the belts, her mother, Terri Bowlin, made her way down the ramp. The betrayal from earlier in the night was still fresh, and Terri made her intentions clear. Climbing into the ring, Terri shoved Ace back to the mat and, in a shocking act of revenge, pushed the ladder over, sending Emily crashing down. Without hesitation, Terri left the ring and Becca Snow capitalized, climbing the ladder and securing the final two pins in the lock, officially freeing the belts.

With that, the Dream Team retained their IWRA Women’s Tag Team Championships, celebrating their victory as the crowd erupted. Meanwhile, Emily Bowlin lay stunned in the ring, having not only lost her chance at championship gold but now standing face to face with the consequences of turning on her mother. With Terri Bowlin proving she wasn’t done with her daughter, the fallout from this betrayal is sure to shake the IWRA to its core.

Razor Retains Hardcore Championship in Brutal Triple Threat Match

The IWRA Armageddon pay-per-view continued with a chaotic hardcore triple threat title match between the reigning champion Razor, former champion Matsumoto, and the challenger, Luke Austin. The rivalry between these three had escalated in recent weeks, especially after Razor’s right-hand man, Scorpion, once again spat acid into Luke Austin’s face. Fortunately for Luke, his eyes were not affected this time, unlike the previous attack that had side-lined him for weeks. Meanwhile, Matsumoto, who lost his belt to Razor two weeks prior on Storm, was determined to reclaim his title.

As soon as the bell rang, Luke Austin charged at Razor, unleashing a relentless flurry of strikes and kicks, forcing the champion onto the defensive. With Razor down, Luke turned his attention to Matsumoto, but Matsumoto responded with a stiff punch to the face and attempted to lift him for a slam. Luke quickly evaded, striking Matsumoto in the spine. Razor attempted a sneak attack, but Luke countered, whipping him into the turnbuckles—only to be blindsided by a sling blade from Matsumoto.

From that moment on, the match was absolute mayhem. The second one competitor gained an advantage, the third swooped in to break it up. Luke Austin sent Matsumoto over the top rope, but before he could capitalize, Razor lifted him high into the air and power bombed him over the ropes as well. With both men outside, Matsumoto was the first to retrieve a weapon, grabbing a sledgehammer and driving it into Razor’s midsection. However, Razor managed to dodge a second swing, launching himself at Matsumoto, knocking the sledgehammer from his grasp, and taking him down with a vicious assault.

Razor wasted no time, turning his attention to Luke Austin and raining down brutal strikes onto his face. The champion’s relentless aggression seemed unstoppable until Matsumoto managed to regain control, attempting a pinfall on Luke Austin. Luke, however, powered out and retaliated with a devastating powerbomb. Before he could build momentum, Razor struck with a quick DDT, planting him into the mat. Matsumoto capitalized by delivering a monstrous punch to Razor’s face and attempting another pin, but Luke Austin broke it up just in time.

Luke then slammed Matsumoto to the ground, standing tall over his fallen opponents—until disaster struck. From out of nowhere, Scorpion stormed into the ring behind Luke Austin. The challenger turned around, only to be met with a second dose of Scorpion’s vile acid mist, sending him writhing in agony. As Scorpion quickly fled the scene, Luke was left incapacitated on the mat. Seizing the opportunity, Razor swooped in and pinned Matsumoto, securing his victory and retaining the Hardcore Championship.

As the bell rang, Razor took his championship belt from referee John Cole and celebrated his controversial win to a chorus of boos from the furious crowd. With Scorpion once again playing a pivotal role in the outcome, Luke Austin’s quest for the hardcore title was derailed in the most brutal fashion. However, given the sheer injustice of the match’s ending, it’s clear that Luke Austin won’t let this slide—and Razor may have an even bigger fight on his hands in the weeks to come.

A Tables Match for the Ages

The long-standing feud between The OC and Power and Glory reached its peak at Armageddon with a brutal tables match. Ever since The OC won a title shot at Frostbite in a chaotic tag fatal four-way, Power and Glory have felt robbed, blaming referee John Cole for missing Eliott Pierce’s pin while catching Tucker Warren’s pin on Greg Flynn just seconds later. Tonight, however, there would be no referee controversy—this match required no pinfalls, no submissions, just destruction. The first team to put both of their opponents through tables twice would walk away victorious.

The moment the bell rang, chaos erupted. Nate Adams immediately went after Eliott Pierce, while Tucker Warren squared off against Greg Flynn. Tucker gained an early advantage, whipping Greg into the turnbuckles and levelling him with a devastating elbow. Meanwhile, Eliott took down Nate with a perfectly executed dropkick. Wasting no time, Tucker rolled out of the ring to retrieve the first table, but Eliott quickly pursued, grabbing him from behind. Tucker fought him off with a sharp elbow to the ribs, while in the ring, Nate and Greg continued their intense struggle.

Nate was the first to slide a table into the ring, but Greg swiftly attacked him, forcing him to drop it before it could be set up. Outside, Eliott punished Tucker before retrieving a table of his own and sliding it inside. Tucker managed to throw Eliott into the ring before he could capitalize, allowing himself a brief moment to recover. With both teams struggling for control, every attempt to set up a table was met with an interruption—until Eliott finally succeeded while Nate Adams was recovering outside the ring and Greg was keeping Tucker occupied. Seizing the opportunity, Greg whipped Tucker toward the table and delivered a punishing suplex, sending him crashing through the wood. Power and Glory took the first point in the best-of-three contest.

The OC, however, refused to back down. With anger fuelling his actions, Nate Adams grabbed a steel chair and hurled it at Eliott, cutting his forehead open. Meanwhile, Greg re-entered the ring and set up another table, but the war raged on. When all four men found themselves back inside the squared circle, Nate Adams turned the tide with an enormous powerbomb, smashing Eliott through a table and evening the score.

With one point each, both teams pushed their limits, attempting to set up tables only to be thwarted at every turn. The near misses and desperate struggles heightened the tension until the final, decisive moment. With incredible strength, Eliott Pierce hoisted Tucker Warren into the air and delivered a thunderous powerbomb through a table, sealing the victory for Power and Glory.

As the bell rang, Power and Glory stood tall, finally vindicated after weeks of frustration. Though they had settled their score in the ring, the animosity between these two teams remains palpable. With Power and Glory emerging victorious, one question lingers—will The OC let this loss slide, or is the war far from over?

Management Rivals Tear Into Each Other

The heated rivalry between Casey Crawford and Terri Bowlin reached a boiling point at IWRA Armageddon. Just two days prior on Forge, Terri—dressed in her old wrestling attire—ambushed Casey while she was introducing new wrestler Maggie-May Dallas. Despite being caught off guard, Casey secured the victory with a submission hold that forced Terri to tap out. Now, at Armageddon, Terri sought redemption in a match that quickly spiraled into chaos.

As the bell rang, Terri attempted to slip past Casey, but Casey caught her and immediately pulled her into a submission hold. Terri struggled free and retaliated by throwing Casey across the ring, then springboarding off the ropes to deliver a brutal kick to Casey’s head. The battle became a fast-paced struggle for dominance, with control shifting between both wrestlers in rapid succession. Neither competitor could maintain the upper hand for long.

Seeking an edge, Terri rolled out of the ring and retrieved a kendo stick. She returned and struck Casey with a vicious shot before attempting a pin, but Casey powered out. Seizing the momentum, Terri unleashed a devastating powerbomb, followed by a breathtaking springboard moonsault that left Casey gasping for air. With her opponent struggling, Casey wisely rolled out of the ring for a momentary reprieve. Terri, however, refused to let up, somersaulting over the ropes toward Casey—only for Casey to sidestep, sending Terri crashing onto the unforgiving concrete.

With control back in her grasp, Casey took full advantage, delivering a series of clotheslines and punishing Terri with a barrage of kicks. Just as it seemed like Casey was closing in on victory, the unthinkable happened—Terri’s daughter, Emily Bowlin, suddenly slid into the ring. Standing between Casey and her mother, Emily appeared to defend Terri… but then shocked the entire arena by delivering two brutal punches to her own mother’s face, sending Terri crashing back down to the mat.

As the crowd reeled from Emily’s stunning betrayal, she simply climbed out of the ring and walked away, leaving Terri motionless on the mat. The emotional toll on Terri was evident as she remained down, clearly shaken by her daughter’s actions. However, she eventually gathered herself and rolled out of the ring, determined to continue fighting.

Casey, unfazed, reached under the ring and pulled out a sledgehammer, aiming to end things decisively. But before she could use it, Terri knocked the weapon from her grasp. Terri attempted to turn the tables by wielding the sledgehammer herself, but Casey resisted, dragging her back into the ring. The end came swiftly—Casey locked in her devastating “Casey Clutch” finisher, wearing Terri down before delivering a final, punishing kendo stick strike. With no escape, Terri was pinned, securing Casey Crawford’s victory.

While Casey celebrated another hard-fought win, the bigger story was Emily Bowlin’s betrayal. With the shocking turn of events between mother and daughter, it’s clear that Terri Bowlin’s war isn’t just with Casey Crawford—it may now be with her own flesh and blood. The fallout from Armageddon is sure to shake IWRA to its core.

A Night of Chaos and Championship Glory

IWRA’s highly anticipated PLE, Armageddon, kicked off in explosive fashion with a gauntlet match for the Forge Men’s Championship. After last week’s title defence between Alex Drake and Omar Kareem was interrupted by Will Oxley and Brandon Colt, management decided to settle the score with a high-stakes, multi-man battle. The match saw Brandon Colt, Will Oxley, Omar Kareem, Isaiah Jacobs, and Ray Ricardo challenge Alex Drake for the prestigious belt, leading to an all-out war in the ring.

Brandon Colt was the first competitor to enter, shortly followed by Will Oxley. As soon as the bell rang, the two wasted no time, engaging in an intense battle. Brandon lunged at Will, but Will dodged swiftly, taking Brandon down with a breath-taking springboard DDT. Wasting no time, Will attempted an early pin, but Brandon kicked out with authority. Regaining control, Brandon turned the tables and began his onslaught, punishing Will with heavy strikes and slams.

The next entrant, Omar Kareem, made his way into the ring as Brandon continued his dominance. With Will reeling, Brandon slammed him hard into the mat before charging at Omar, levelling him with a massive clothesline. Not one to back down, Omar quickly turned his attention to Will, attempting a pin, but Will managed to kick out in time. Brandon then shifted his focus to Omar, pummelling him into the canvas before leaping onto Will and delivering a brutal assault.

With both Will and Omar rolling out of the ring in search of weapons, Brandon pursued Will and sent him crashing to the floor with a vicious punch. As Isaiah Jacobs made his way down to the ring, Omar seized the moment, grabbing a kendo stick and delivering a devastating shot to Brandon. He turned the weapon on Will as well, but Brandon recovered quickly, snatching the kendo stick away before Omar could strike him again. Meanwhile, Isaiah Jacobs added to the mayhem by retrieving a steel chair from beneath the ring and taking Omar down with a thunderous shot to the back.

As chaos unfolded, Alex Drake stormed down the ramp, joining the fray and targeting Omar Kareem. He attempted a quick pin on Omar, but Omar kicked out. The last competitor, Ray Ricardo, soon made his entrance, immediately going after Omar before shifting his focus to Will Oxley, striking him with a steel chair. With all six competitors in the ring, the match turned into an all-out brawl, with each man desperate to claim victory.

The eliminations began when Omar Kareem took down Will Oxley with a devastating DDT and successfully pinned him, making Will the first to be eliminated. The reigning champion, Alex Drake, failed to retain his title after being overpowered by Brandon Colt, who executed a monstrous suplex before pinning him for the three-count. With the champion dethroned, a new champion was guaranteed.

Ray Ricardo was the next to fall, taken out by Isaiah Jacobs with a perfectly executed sling blade before being pinned. This left the final three competitors: Brandon Colt, Isaiah Jacobs, and Omar Kareem. Brandon attempted to pin Isaiah, but Isaiah kicked out, only to remain on the mat, seemingly injured. Sensing an opportunity, Brandon tried again after brutalizing Omar, and this time, Isaiah relented, effectively eliminating himself from the match.

The final battle was set—Omar Kareem versus Brandon Colt. Omar, having previously defeated Brandon, aimed to repeat history, but Brandon was determined to change the narrative. Omar attempted a pinfall, but Brandon kicked out in dramatic fashion. Switching tactics, Omar locked Brandon into a submission hold, but Brandon refused to tap. Seeing no other option, Omar released the hold and resorted to a more brutal approach, grabbing a steel chair and delivering a series of punishing strikes to Brandon.

With Brandon weakened, Omar seized the moment, executing a decisive pinfall to capture the Forge Men’s Championship. As the referee raised his hand in victory, Omar Kareem stood tall, cementing his place as the new Forge Men’s Champion.

With this monumental win, Omar Kareem has solidified himself at the top of the Forge division. However, with competitors like Brandon Colt and Isaiah Jacobs lurking, his reign may be challenged sooner rather than later. Armageddon has set the stage for new rivalries and unfinished business, ensuring that the chaos in IWRA is far from over.

Faith Takes on Capital Once Again But Which Shall Prevail?

The main event of IWRA Forge delivered on all fronts as tensions between The Corporation and The Ministry reached a boiling point. With Richie Price bringing The Ministry over to Forge to weaken Ted’s faction, he has relentlessly put his Corporation members against Noah Bishop and Jason Key. Last week, Noah Bishop defeated Bill Price, despite Bill’s attempts to flee, thanks to Jason Key forcing him back into the ring. However, Big Money ensured The Corporation had the last word, attacking Bishop with a kendo stick post-match.

This week, the war continued as Big Money, accompanied by Bill Price, stepped into the ring against Jason Key, who was backed by Noah Bishop. The moment the bell rang, the two powerhouses locked up, and Big Money gained the upper hand, forcing Jason into the turnbuckles before ramming into him with brute force. Big Money then pressed his advantage, choking Jason down to the mat until referee John Cole stepped in to break it up. Undeterred, Big Money continued his domination, leaping from the top rope and crashing onto Jason before attempting an early pin. Jason, however, resilient as ever, kicked out.

Big Money continued to toss Jason around the ring like a ragdoll, stomping him down and sending him crashing outside. The punishment didn’t stop there, as Big Money followed him out, battering Jason on the concrete floor. After re-entering the ring, Big Money was momentarily held back by John Cole, giving Jason just enough time to recover and re-enter. When they locked up again, Jason finally seized control, whipping Big Money into the ropes and leveling him with a swift kick to the face. Sensing trouble, Bill Price attempted to interfere by throwing a sledgehammer into the ring, but John Cole spotted it immediately and disposed of the weapon before it could be used.

Jason, regaining momentum, threw Big Money into the turnbuckles and landed a clean punch, but Big Money retaliated with a sharp elbow to the head. Attempting to boot Jason, he missed, allowing Jason to capitalize. With a combination of stomps and fierce strikes, Jason began dismantling his opponent. However, Big Money once again regained control, launching Jason over the ropes and onto the unforgiving concrete. At ringside, Noah Bishop shouted at Big Money, hoping to create a distraction. While Big Money was momentarily engaged, Bill Price took advantage, grabbing Jason and throwing him back into the ring.

Jason, fueled by frustration, returned with full force. He delivered a devastating low blow to Big Money, followed by a flurry of powerful strikes and a brutal DDT. He attempted a pin, but Big Money managed to kick out at the last moment. The battle raged on, with Big Money whipping Jason into the ropes, looking for a clothesline. However, Jason had the same idea, and the two collided mid-air, both crashing hard to the mat.

Chaos erupted as Noah Bishop and Bill Price, unable to contain themselves, attempted to interfere. John Cole had seen enough and ejected both men from ringside, sending them storming off while arguing. Back in the ring, Jason Key attempted a swing at Big Money, but the Corporation member ducked, hoisted Jason into the air, and sent him flying across the ring. He went for another pin attempt, but Jason once again kicked out, refusing to stay down.

Sensing the end, Jason took full control. He unleashed a devastating series of strikes and high-impact moves before climbing to the top rope. In a breathtaking display, he flipped onto Big Money and secured the pinfall, clinching a hard-fought victory.

As Jason celebrated, the lingering animosity between The Corporation and The Ministry remained palpable. With tensions continuing to escalate, it’s only a matter of time before these factions collide in an all-out war. One thing is certain—Forge is far from done with The Ministry and The Corporation’s relentless battle for dominance.

High-Flying Action Takeover

Following the backstage carnage between Dani Fox and Lazzara, the action continued with an exhilarating showdown between two high-flying athletes—Hercules Perez and TJ Tyson. Both competitors had recently missed out on qualifying for a title shot, and this match was their opportunity to impress IWRA management, particularly Richie Price, and solidify their spots in the Forge roster.

The match kicked off with an explosion of energy as both wrestlers surged forward and locked up in the center of the ring. Hercules Perez wasted no time in gaining the upper hand, whipping TJ Tyson toward the turnbuckles before swiftly snapping him back and delivering a devastating dropkick that sent TJ crashing to the mat. Hercules continued his aggressive assault, driving TJ backward with a relentless combination of strikes before ascending to the top rope and diving onto his downed opponent.

Showing off his aerial prowess, Hercules springboarded off the ropes and splashed onto TJ, immediately going for a pinfall attempt. However, TJ kicked out, refusing to go down without a fight. Seizing a moment of opportunity, TJ swung Hercules into the ropes and executed a spectacular hurricanrana, flipping Hercules across the ring and turning the tide of the match.

Hercules, ever the resilient fighter, quickly regained control. Climbing to the top rope, he launched himself into a breathtaking coup de grâce, driving his boots into TJ’s chest. He went for another pin attempt, but TJ once again showed his resilience, kicking out at the last moment. Determined, TJ countered by grabbing Hercules and launching him into the turnbuckles. However, Hercules reversed the momentum and whipped TJ toward the opposite corner. Thinking fast, TJ showcased his agility, scaling the ropes and flipping backward over Hercules in a stunning display of athleticism.

Bouncing off the ropes, TJ dodged Hercules’ attempted clothesline and retaliated with one of his own, taking Hercules down with authority. Wasting no time, TJ attempted a pinfall, but Hercules kicked out just before the referee’s hand hit the mat for the third count. The match continued at a breakneck pace, with Hercules managing yet another pin attempt after launching himself onto TJ, but the tenacious high-flyer refused to stay down.

The two competitors pushed each other to the limit, each seeking the decisive move that would secure the victory. In the final moments, Hercules ascended to the top turnbuckle and delivered a spectacular flying elbow, driving all his weight onto TJ. This time, the impact was enough—Hercules secured the three-count and emerged victorious.

With his hard-fought win, Hercules Perez celebrated in the ring, proving that he still belonged in Forge and the IWRA. While TJ Tyson may have fallen short, his resilience and aerial artistry left a lasting impression. With both men showcasing their skills, the IWRA brass will undoubtedly have a tough decision ahead regarding their futures. One thing is certain—both of these high-flying warriors are far from finished in their pursuit of greatness.

A Night of Brutality Continues Backstage

Following their chaotic brawl in the show opener, Dani Fox and Lazzara’s animosity exploded once again—this time in the backstage area. The battle erupted when Dani Fox, still seething from their earlier clash, surged toward Lazzara, forcing her backward with a relentless assault before driving her head-first into the ground with a vicious DDT.

Looking to maintain the advantage, Dani climbed onto a stack of nearby boxes, but Lazzara refused to stay down. She quickly followed Dani to higher ground, but Dani managed to outmaneuver her, sending Lazzara crashing off the boxes and onto the cold concrete below. Dani maintained firm control, taking Lazzara down again and again with a series of brutal moves, her dominance evident.

However, as Dani went in for another devastating strike, Lazzara managed to catch her arm and, in a stunning display of athleticism, flipped Dani over and sent her crashing hard to the floor. Lazzara wasted no time and immediately began stomping on the Forge Women’s Champion, showing no mercy. Spotting a nearby shovel, Lazzara attempted to escalate the brutality, but Dani sprang back into action, knocking the weapon from her hands and pounding her into the ground with a flurry of punches and kicks.

The fight raged on, both women exchanging vicious blows as they brawled throughout the backstage car park. At one point, Dani managed to seize the shovel and used it to smash Lazzara in the head multiple times. But Lazzara, resilient as ever, dodged a final devastating swing and countered with a massive clothesline that sent Dani sprawling to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Lazzara grabbed the shovel and began her own merciless assault, delivering relentless strikes to Dani. The two fierce competitors continued their all-out war until Lazzara, fueled by sheer rage, landed a final crushing blow that rendered Dani unconscious. With her body battered and bruised, Lazzara limped away the victor of this brutal backstage encounter, leaving the Forge Women’s Champion lying motionless on the cold concrete.

With tensions at an all-time high and Dani Fox undoubtedly seeking revenge, the IWRA Women’s Division is heading toward an all-out war. The fallout from this savage backstage brawl is sure to be felt in the coming weeks, as both warriors prepare for the inevitable next chapter in their vicious rivalry.
