Arez (with Holidead & Doctor Dax) vs. Aramis
Aramis won the initial bout, but the landscape is quite different with that briefcase ringside. Bell rings and both adversaries try to outmaneuver one another with their lucha styles. Aramis gets the first pin attempt.
Both men exchange Gory special attempts, but Aramis tries for a pin, but Arez gets him in a pendulum! Aramis turns the tables in a pendulum on his own!
The fighters have one another so well scouted that the counters are a-plenty. The King of Strange Style hits a running Razor’s Edge on the entryway!

Post-match, Arez inspects the briefcase as Dax sniffs out a coupe of bills.
Alicia is with an upset Willow Nightingale. She’s going to give Holidead the fight she wants and she’s going to show her Willow’s “dark side.”
Emilio Sparks approachs Myron Reed. He wants to know him where his head’s at? Myron is all kinds of motivated, but suddenly darkness falls and he hears the voice of Karlee Perez. She has some Tarot cards with her and reveals that The Young GOAT is going to hit rock bottom, and when she does, she’ll be there to pick him up.
Sparks was quick on the case to find World Champion Alex Hammerstone next and wanted to get an update on his leg and knee after War Chamber. Suddenly Matanza comes out of nowhere to attack the champ as the feed cuts! Once feed gets restored, we see Matanza brawling with Hammer by a loading dock before the feed cuts once more.
Konnan says that he’s the calm before the 5150 storm! They have no option to fail tonight. They’re going home champions! Those belts stand for everything they never had growing up. You’re damn right they’re jumping the line. Rivera says they’re sending Los Parks to dance on the corner like the “ho’s you are.”
We have a new episode of MLW Embedded and Alicia Atout has an update on the status of CONTRA. She cites Cesar Duran as the man culprit of CONTRA’s fall utilizing manilpulation. As far as CONTRA members whereabouts, Mads Krugger was recently seen in the fighting pits of South Africa who swears vengeance against Fatu. Ikuro Kwon has renounced the group and has now been seen in Japan training with the new World Middleweight Champion Tajiri. As far as Fatu, the former World Champion is AWOL. Interestingly enough, Josef Samael has vanished before War Chamber even went down and some suspect that has been intentional!
We see Matanza and Hammerstone brawling backstage. Thankfully, security shows up to separate both men from their violence! What a powder keg!
Next up, is the long-awaited MLW debut of NZO!
MATCH 2
“Mad Dogg” Matt Cross vs. NZO
Philadelphia is quite polarized as the “Real 1” takes his time walking to the ring. Joe Dombrowski notes that NZO has put in double the training at his gym in New Jersey and he sure looks like it.
“How You Doin’” chants break out as NZO sits in the corner, studying Cross. The two men grapple one another. NZO shoulder tackles Matt down before hitting two sharp headlock takedowns. NZO grapples with Cross further, but Matt makes it to the ropes.
NZO catches Cross with another shoulder tackle but Cross nails him with a dropkick. Cross hits a leaping cross body for a two count. NZO trips Matt harshly into the turnbuckle.
NZO has Matt grounded with a headlock, and when Matt manages to climb up top, NZO trips him up. NZO works the leg of Matt. NZO nails a floatover suplex for a two count. NZO delivers some harsh elbows to Matt in the corner. He then catapults chokes Cross off the bottom rope. NZO tries to yank Cross out of the corner, but Cross amazingly lands on his feet!

NZO grabs hold of the ring apron as Matt drags him back into the ring. The ref pulls it free but as he does he cheap shots Matt and hits his Done-ZO finisher for the 1-2-3!
WINNER: NZO
Post-match, KC Navarro heads down to the ring for commentary and shows his distaste for NZO’s actions. As Navarrao heads towards Joe Dombroski and Rich Bocchini, NZO hits KC from behind. He shoves him into the barricade before dragging him towards the entryway and setting him up for a Razor’s Edge against the ring post! The medical team rush to ringside to check on Navarro!
We see Rich standing with Alicia Atout. He knows Canadians don’t celebrate Christmas (eye roll), but he does have a gift for the reporter: A Dynastic Coffee Mug.
She is less than impressed, but suddenly, Hammerstone and Matanza fight into Rich’s periphials! Hammer grabs hold of the mug and smashes Matanza with it. That’s good enough to daze Duran’s “blood brother” and it allows Hammer to wrap his fist in a chain and beat him down with it. Holliday notes to Hammerstone that he paid a lot for that mug but Alex indicates to him the recent situation he just solved.
An update on KC Navarro: he’s being rushed to a Philadelphia hospital.
Emilio Sparks tries to get the scoop on what Holidead and her group will be spending with their winnings from Duran. Holidead notes she does need a new knife in her collection. Suddenly, who comes ready for the street fight but 5150 and they can’t help but notice Emilio’s new kicks. Danny Rivera realizes they are in his size and goes to claim them as his own, but Konnan knows they have set of Tag Titles to win.
5150 is all ready to win those belts as they indicate such to the live crowd who seem to reside on the same street corner!

The bell sounds and the fight begins. Los Parks gets the better of it with dueling dives from El Hijo!
El Hijo makes Rivera pay with a sharp chair shot to the back and LA Park Jr. does he same to Slice Boogie! The brothers utilize a rake and a hockey stick on their foes.
Rivera however turns the tide with a kick to Ej Hijo from the apron and then a leaping cross body to LA Park Jr. on the outside!
