The night’s main event highlighted current IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion and TNA Superstar The Wanted Man Nic Nemeth facing former IWR and NWA Champion Thomas Latimer accompanied by John E. Bravo and the CWO, who were quickly banned from ringside.
Nemeth and Latimer put on an amazing match fighting throughout the jam-packed hall, hitting each other with stop signs, garbage can lids, baking pans and more. Nemeth grabbed a wooden table from under the ring. The duo fought around the table with Latimer chokeslamming Nemeth.
Latimer went for the pin but Nemeth kicked out at a two count. A distraught Latimer grabbed Nemeth and began hitting him before Nemeth hit Latimer with a super kick and a Zigzag. As Nemeth was about to pin Latimer, Amazing N8 Mattson and the rest of the CWO came out and broke it up, causing Latimer to be disqualified, resulting in Nemeth taking the win.
The CWO continued to assault Nemeth when The Perminator Sam Beale and OX rushed to his aid. The CWO’s numbers were too strong but The Manbeast Rhino came out and cleared the ring before a 7-foot monster came from out of nowhere and clotheslined Rhino.
To the crowd’s amazement, The Dread King Logan returned, knocking the monster out of the ring. Nemeth, Rhino, Beale, OX and Logan took the ring over and forced Latimer and the CWO out of the hall. Rhino grabbed the mic and challenged Latimer to a tag match against himself and Logan.
