Bio:
Ashley "Diamond" Summers is the epitome of luxury, style, and dominance. Hailing from the glamorous streets of Beverly Hills, she isn't just in HCW to wrestle—she’s here to rule the women’s division. Known for her lavish lifestyle and unrelenting arrogance, Summers has aligned herself with the Million Dollar Alliance, ensuring she always has the backing of HCW's wealthiest and most influential faction. With the ruthless cunning of a businesswoman and the in-ring skill to match, she dominates her opponents with precision, always claiming that the ring is her "diamond-studded empire."

 

Summers thrives in the spotlight and will do anything to maintain her status at the top of the division. Whether by outsmarting her opponents or using the financial and strategic power of the Million Dollar Alliance, Ashley “Diamond” Summers always comes out shining brighter than anyone else.

 

Match #1:  Chloe Parker vs Ashley Summers w/Ruth Heartless

The arena lights dim, and a spotlight hits the entrance ramp as Ashley "Diamond" Summers’ entrance music hits—an extravagant theme full of glitz and glamour. She walks out in a luxurious diamond-encrusted robe, flanked by her manager, Ruth Heartless, both exuding an air of superiority. The crowd boos loudly as the two make their way to the ring, but the noise doesn't faze them. In fact, Summers and Heartless seem to relish in the hatred.

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “And here she is, folks, Ashley ‘Diamond’ Summers, making her long-awaited debut tonight! The newest member of the Million Dollar Alliance—and boy, does she fit right in with that group!”

 

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: “Look at that attitude! You can see she’s ready to dominate, and with Ruth Heartless by her side, I wouldn’t want to be Chloe Parker tonight!”

 

[Summers enters the ring, taking her time, waving off the fans’ jeers with a dismissive flick of her hand. She grabs a mic, staring down the sea of boos as Ruth Heartless stands by her side, smirking at the hostile crowd.]

 

Ashley "Diamond" Summers: [mockingly laughing] “Oh, how cute! Look at all of you out here, booing me like your opinions matter. Let me make one thing very clear—you don’t deserve to see someone like me. This town, this arena, none of you are worth even a fraction of what I’m wearing right now!”

 

[The boos grow even louder as Summers holds up the microphone, soaking in the crowd’s fury.]

 

Ashley "Diamond" Summers: “You should all be on your feet, in awe of the true diamond of HCW! I am Ashley ‘Diamond’ Summers, and I didn’t come here to make friends or win your approval. I came here to take over!”

 

[The crowd chants, "You suck! You suck!"]

 

Ruth Heartless: [grabbing the mic and snapping at the crowd] “Shut your mouths! None of you have any idea what greatness looks like, so sit down and learn something from the top 1% of this business!”

 

Ashley "Diamond" Summers: “Exactly, Ruth. But you know what really cracks me up? HCW crowned a ‘champion’ without me even being here. Let’s talk about this so-called Heritage Women’s Championship tournament that happened before I was signed. Really? A tournament, and I wasn’t even part of it?” [mocking gasp] “What a joke! You call Chloe Parker and the rest of those girls competition? The reality is, you put them in that ring to give the fans a nice little story, but the truth is—without me, that championship is completely meaningless.”

 

[Summers pauses, letting the crowd’s anger simmer before continuing with even more arrogance.]

 

Ashley "Diamond" Summers: “So, Chloe Parker can run around here, pretending she's the best, but deep down, even she knows that she is on borrowed time. You’re all looking at the future of this division—the real champion. Not some placeholder who got lucky in a tournament, but the one with the looks, the skills, and the money to back it up.” (that was directed at the Heritage Women’s Champion Luciana Albano).

 

Ruth Heartless: [stepping in with a sly smile] “That’s right. HCW didn’t know what it had until Ashley Summers signed on the dotted line. Now, this division has one purpose—to serve her. All these so-called ‘contenders’ are nothing but stepping stones for the Diamond of HCW to shine even brighter.”

 

[Summers nods, pacing around the ring, feeding off the crowd’s rage as Ruth Heartless continues.]

 

Ruth Heartless: “Chloe Parker, sweetheart, I hope you’re watching backstage, because tonight? Tonight, your reign of mediocrity ends before it even gets started.”

 

Ashley "Diamond" Summers: [smirking as the crowd boos again] “And Chloe, when I step into this ring tonight and show you—and everyone else—what a real champion looks like, just know this: it’s not personal. It’s business. And business, honey, is about to boom.”

 

[Summers holds her hand out in front of her, admiring her diamond ring, showing off her wealth and status before locking eyes with the camera again.]

 

Ashley "Diamond" Summers: “I am Ashley ‘Diamond’ Summers. I’m everything you wish you could be, but will never, ever come close to. And Chloe Parker? When I’m done with you, all that’ll be left is a shattered dream. Tonight, the diamond takes her place at the top.”

 

[Summers drops the mic as the crowd continues to jeer, but the confident grin never leaves her face. Ruth Heartless steps out of the ring and Ashley hands Ruth her robe as she awaits her opponent for her debut match.]

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “Wow, talk about a statement! Ashley Summers has made it clear—she’s not here to play games, and Chloe Parker better be ready for the fight of her life!”

 

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: “Summers just put the entire women’s division on notice. This is going to get interesting!”

 

Chloe Parker comes out next to a nice pop from the crowd (since Ashley is the real heel here).  She tries to get the fans pumped up and climbs into the ring.

 

As soon as the bell rang, Summers wasted no time showcasing the tactics that would define the match. Within the first minute, Ruth Heartless made her presence felt by spraying hairspray into Chloe Parker’s eyes when the referee’s back was turned. Parker tried to defend herself, but the underhanded move put her at an immediate disadvantage.

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “Did you see that, Hammer? Ruth Heartless just blinded Chloe! What a cheap move!”

 

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: “Summers knows how to use every advantage, and Heartless is the ultimate wild card!”

 

Despite the underhanded assault, Parker managed to fight back, but Summers took control with a relentless assault, applying a punishing High Angle Crab in the second minute. Chloe absorbed the pain, showing her grit, but the damage was done. Summers began to rack up points as Parker was forced to remain on the defensive.

 

As the match wore on, Ruth Heartless continued to involve herself, providing “words of wisdom” and slyly striking Parker with her Banker’s Briefcase when the referee was distracted. Despite the interference, Parker refused to back down, landing a stunning Somersault Ace Crusher in the fifth minute. However, Summers was quick to respond, executing her devastating Diamond Cutter to keep herself in the fight.

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “This back-and-forth is incredible! Chloe’s giving it everything she’s got, but Summers always seems to have an answer.”

 

Summers maintained control, repeatedly applying her signature High Angle Crab, but Parker kept clawing her way back, neutralizing the hold and even hitting a brutal Demonic Driver in the thirteenth minute. But it wasn’t enough. With the crowd firmly behind her, Parker attempted a pin, but Summers kicked out, the match continuing at a frantic pace.

 

In the final minutes, both women were running on fumes. Parker executed a massive Double Underhook Suplex, but Summers once again dug deep, pulling off a picture-perfect Diamond Cutter to secure the advantage. Summers went for the pin, and this time, Parker couldn’t escape.

 

1... 2... 3!

Ashley "Diamond" Summers secured the victory in her debut match, pinning Chloe Parker after a hard-fought battle.

 

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: “What a statement by Ashley Summers! This match showed that she’s not just all talk—she’s here to dominate.”

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “But let’s not forget the role Ruth Heartless played. Chloe Parker was fighting two opponents out there!”

 

As Summers stood tall over her fallen opponent, Ruth Heartless raised her hand in victory, signaling that the Diamond of HCW had officially arrived—and she was here to stay.

 

Winner: Ashley "Diamond" Summers via Diamond Cutter and pinfall. (14 min)

 

Ashley has her arm raised as the victor by Ruth and the duo then leave to a chorus of booing from the crowd.

 

[Backstage Promo | Leiton Snake Prepares for Hardcore Championship Match]

The camera cuts to the dimly lit backstage area, where Leiton Snake stands, draped in a long, tattered trench coat. His eyes are cold, and his trademark smirk creeps across his face as he paces slowly, holding a chain in one hand and a steel pipe in the other. The tension in the air is palpable as the Hardcore title match looms closer. The camera zooms in, and Leiton Snake finally speaks, his voice dripping with intensity.

Leiton Snake: [grinning darkly] “You feel that? It’s in the air... that heaviness... that buzz. It’s the feeling of impending destruction. But this? This ain't your typical night, because tonight... I get my hands on you, Morningstar.”

He pauses, staring into the camera with a venomous look.

Leiton Snake: “You’ve been running around here with that Hardcore Championship, calling yourself Hell’s Fang, basking in all your twisted glory. You thrive on chaos, don’t you? Pain, suffering—it’s like home to you. But here’s the thing, Morningstar... you ain't met me.”

He drops the steel pipe onto the ground with a loud clang, the sound echoing down the hall.

Leiton Snake: “You see, I don’t just live in chaos—I embrace it. I am it. You might be the devil’s favorite monster, but I’m the snake that’ll wrap around your neck and squeeze until there’s nothing left but the cold, hard truth. And that truth is... I was born for this.”

He tightens his grip on the chain, pulling it taut as his eyes narrow, the intensity in his voice rising.

Leiton Snake: “Hardcore, no rules, no limits? That’s my playground. I’ve bled for less than that title, Morningstar, and tonight? Tonight, you’re gonna bleed for it. You may be Hell’s Fang, but I’m the venom that’ll drop you and take that title right out of your cold, dead hands.”

Snake leans in closer to the camera, his voice lowering to a menacing whisper.

Leiton Snake: “I don’t care how many demons you’ve got in your corner, how deep you’re willing to go into that darkness, because wherever you drag me, I’ve already been there—and worse. You wanna send me to hell? You better be ready, ‘cause I’m bringing hell right back to you. And when that bell rings, the only thing that’s gonna be left standing... is me... holding your title.”

He steps back, his grin widening as he throws the chain over his shoulder, tilting his head as if daring Morningstar to come find him.

Leiton Snake: “So go ahead, Morningstar, bring your demons, bring your darkness. Because after tonight, there’ll be no light left for you. And that Hardcore Championship? It’s coming home with the Snake.”

With one final smirk, Leiton Snake walks off-screen, leaving the ominous clanking of his chain in the air.

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “Leiton Snake looks more than ready for war tonight, Hammer! That Hardcore Championship might just slip right through Morningstar’s hands!”

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: “This could be a match for the ages. Leiton Snake is dangerous, but Morningstar’s been unstoppable. It’s anyone’s guess how far these two are willing to go tonight.”

 

Match #2:  JR Fargo/Alejandro Guerrero vs Ethan ‘Lightning’ Hayes & Rafa Castillo

 

The two newest members to the mens roster come out with Ethan ‘Lightning’ Hayes teaming up with Rafael ‘Rafa’ Castillo.  The crowd gives them a nice pop as they head to the ring.  Once in the ring, they get the fans excited for their match.  The music then changes and the fans boo as JR Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero make their way out.  Fans stick their hands out but the duo ignore them and walk to the ring. 

 

The match begins with Juan Raul Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero double-teaming "Lightning" Ethan Hayes. They dominate the early stages with punishing moves like a Latino Uppercut from Guerrero and a Rear Chinlock from Fargo.

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Fargo and Guerrero are working together like a pack of wolves out there, keeping Hayes grounded!"

By the fourth minute, Fargo hits Hayes with an Atomic Drop, but Hayes fires back with a Basement Front Dropkick, showing he's still in the fight.

As the match continues, Fargo throws Hayes out of the ring at the six-minute mark, but Hayes manages to beat the referee's count, just barely making it back. Guerrero tags in and continues the assault with a Triple Rolling Vertical Suplex and a Missile Dropkick. However, Hayes shows resilience, kicking out of several pin attempts.

In the 18th minute, Hayes finally tags in Rafa Castillo, and the pace quickens. Castillo and Hayes start to mount a comeback, hitting Guerrero with a combination of a Swanton Bomb and a Superkick.

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Here we go, Mike! Castillo's in and he's lighting it up! That Swanton was picture-perfect!"

Both teams trade moves as the match goes back and forth. Castillo and Hayes manage to double-team Guerrero in the final minutes, hitting an Alley Oop Facebuster and a vicious Enzuigiri from Castillo. However, Fargo turns the tables with a foreign object, resulting in the match ending in a time-limit draw after 30 minutes of intense action.

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "What a match! Neither team could get the win, but they gave it everything they had!"

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "The fans may not like JR and Alejandro but this was a great performance by both teams.  I highly suspect they will meet again in the future."

 

Both teams left; Ethan and Rafa happy they went the distance with a team like JR and Alejandro.  The heels on the other hand, not so much.

 

[Scene: Backstage in a dark, smoky room. The camera focuses on The Morningstar aka Hell's Fang, flanked by his sinister manager, Count Vlad. Morningstar wears a black leather jacket with spikes, his Hardcore Championship slung over his shoulder, while Vlad, dressed in an elegant dark cloak, smirks in the background. The light flickers, casting ominous shadows as Morningstar speaks directly to the camera.]

The Morningstar (Hell's Fang):
"Leiton Snake... you dare to challenge me for my Hardcore title? I heard your little speech. I heard the venom dripping from your fangs, but understand this, Snake—you're stepping into a nightmare you won't wake up from."

[Morningstar adjusts the title on his shoulder, his eyes glowing with intensity. Vlad nods approvingly beside him.]

The Morningstar:
"You call yourself dangerous? Ruthless? But the thing about snakes, Leiton... is that they slither in the shadows, hiding from true power. You want this title? This symbol of pain and chaos? You're not ready. Not for the bloodshed, not for the violence, and certainly not for the Hell I'm bringing with me tonight. You think you're hardcore, but I am the embodiment of destruction!"

Count Vlad (smiling):
"The serpent has always been a creature of deception, but the fangs of Hell... they show no mercy. Tonight, Leiton Snake, you face judgment, and trust me—there will be no salvation."

[Morningstar steps closer to the camera, his voice dropping to a low growl.]

The Morningstar:
"You’re not stepping into a ring tonight, Snake... you're stepping into the abyss, and I am the king of this darkness. Bring everything you’ve got, because when the bell rings, you’ll find out why they call me Hell's Fang. And once I sink these fangs into you, Snake... you’ll never crawl again."

[The camera zooms in on Morningstar's menacing gaze as the lights flicker once more, casting shadows over his face.]

The Morningstar:
"I am the Hardcore Champion... and after tonight, I'll still be the Hardcore Champion. Welcome to your nightmare."

[Vlad lets out a sinister laugh as the scene fades to black.]

 

Match #3:  Starla Nova vs The British Crippler

 

The British Crippler makes her way out first to booing from the crowd.  She enters the ring and continues to infuriate the fans.  The music changes and the fans pop as Starla Nova makes her way out.  She shakes hands with some of the fans and then heads to the ring.

 

In an exhilarating showdown between Starla Nova and The British Crippler, HCW’s Mike "The Voice" Johnson and Johnny "The Hammer" Harris were in top form. The match kicked off with The Voice declaring, “And we’re underway! Starla Nova starts strong with a Dropkick right out of the gate!” Johnny “The Hammer” chimed in, “The British Crippler responds with a NATTIE BY NATURE—this is going to be a fast-paced contest!”

As the action unfolded, The Hammer noted, “Nova’s 4173 Bridging Gedo Clutch is locked in tight! She’s really taking the fight to The British Crippler.” Despite The British Crippler’s resilience, The Voice pointed out, “It’s a seesaw battle right now, with both wrestlers trading blows and points!”

By the fourth minute, The Hammer highlighted Nova’s persistence: “Starla Nova is relentless with that End Voyage Fisherman Suplex. She’s clearly gaining momentum.” The Voice added, “Absolutely, The British Crippler is having a tough time keeping up with Nova’s pace!”

In the final minutes, as Nova attempted a crucial Dropkick, The Hammer was on edge: “Here it comes—Nova with the Dropkick! If she lands this, it could be the end for The British Crippler!” The Voice counted down with excitement: “1…2…3! It’s over! Starla Nova wins it with a fantastic Dropkick!”

The commentators concluded with The Hammer exclaiming, “What a match! Starla Nova showed incredible skill and determination!” The Voice echoed, “Absolutely, Johnny. Nova’s victory was hard-earned and well-deserved. What a thrilling contest!”

Starla stayed at ringside and interacted with the fans as the British Crippler made her way to the back.  Starla followed shortly thereafter.

 

[Scene: Backstage area, moments after the match ends. Ethan Hayes and Rafa Castillo are walking down a hallway, catching their breath after the grueling 30-minute draw. They exchange a few words, clearly exhausted but satisfied with their performance. Suddenly, out of nowhere, The Magnificent Juan Raul Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero rush in from the side, attacking Ethan and Rafa with brutal, unexpected strikes.]

Ethan Hayes:
"What the—?!"

[Before Ethan can react, Alejandro Guerrero lands a hard Latino Uppercut on him, sending him crashing against a metal equipment case. Juan Raul Fargo grabs Rafa Castillo and throws him headfirst into a stack of crates. The attack is fast, vicious, and unrelenting as JR and Alejandro continue to lay into their exhausted opponents.]

Alejandro Guerrero (shouting):
"You think a draw is good enough?! Not for us!"

[Fargo drives his knee into Rafa’s midsection before slamming him down with a Magnificent Body Slam. The chaos escalates as Ethan tries to fight back, but Alejandro delivers another Latino Uppercut, followed by rapid punches to keep him grounded.]

The Magnificent Juan Raul Fargo:
"You think you can walk out of here like you’ve accomplished something? We were robbed out there, and now you’re gonna pay!"

[Rafa, dazed but furious, attempts to stand but gets taken down with a stiff kick from Fargo. The assault shows no signs of stopping, as Alejandro and JR clearly have no intention of letting up. Just as Alejandro lifts Ethan for a Triple Rolling Vertical Suplex, the backstage crew and referees rush in to intervene, trying to pull the men apart.]

Security Guard (yelling):
"Break it up! Break it up!"

[A few referees manage to pry JR and Alejandro off their opponents, but the two heels shove them away and go right back on the attack. Chaos continues until finally, HCW General Manager Max McGillicutty storms into the scene, looking furious.]

GM Max McGillicutty:
"That’s enough! This ends right now!"

[Max steps in between the two teams, holding them back as security surrounds the area. JR and Alejandro are fuming, but McGillicutty isn't backing down.]

GM Max McGillicutty (sternly):
"You wanna act like animals? Fine. But not in my arena. You two are out of control. Get them out of here!"

[The security team grabs hold of JR and Alejandro, dragging them away while they continue to yell and struggle.]

Alejandro Guerrero (screaming):
"This isn’t over! You hear me, Rafa? Ethan? This isn’t over!"

[Ethan and Rafa, battered and barely standing, lean against the wall, catching their breath as JR and Alejandro are forcibly removed from the building. McGillicutty turns to Ethan and Rafa, shaking his head.]

GM Max McGillicutty:
"You two get checked out by medical. And as for them..."

[McGillicutty watches JR and Alejandro being led out of the arena.]

GM Max McGillicutty:
"I’ll deal with them later. But next time, there will be consequences."

[The scene fades as security escorts JR and Alejandro out of the building, leaving Ethan and Rafa battered but standing, while McGillicutty walks off, clearly frustrated by the chaos.]

 

Match #4:  Hardcore Title Match:  Hell’s Fang vs Leiton Snake

 

In an electrifying Fight Pit match, the action was set ablaze as Leiton Snake, accompanied by his formidable Snake Pit brothers Niven and Tobias, made a dramatic entrance. The trio’s synchronized fist bump foreshadowed the chaos that was about to unfold in this no-DQ bout. Joining the commentary team, Mike "The Voice" Johnson and Johnny "The Hammer" Harris were accompanied by Count Vlad, who added an extra layer of intrigue with his cryptic commentary.

As the match began, The Morningstar unleashed a vicious Shining Wizard, which was immediately countered by Leiton Snake’s spectacular Diving Somersault Neckbreaker.

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “What a way to kick off this Fight Pit match! Both competitors are bringing their A-game right from the start.” The high-octane exchange set the tone for a fiercely contested battle.

The conflict quickly escalated outside the ring, with Niven and Tobias creating distractions to support their teammate. Meanwhile, Count Vlad’s presence was felt as he subtly aided The Morningstar, adding an element of intrigue.

 

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: “Count Vlad is certainly making his presence known tonight. His strategic interference could be a game-changer.  OH BOY!  Here come the Fangs of Despair! It’s absolute pandemonium in the Fight Pit!”

 

The Fangs of Despair brawled with Tobias and Niven and fought all the way to the back.

In the thick of the action, The Morningstar executed a brutal Facebuster on Platform, leaving Leiton Snake struggling.

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “What a crushing move by The Morningstar! This could be the turning point in the match.”

 

With a decisive pinfall, The Morningstar secured a knockout victory, ending the match with a commanding finish. (15 min)

Amidst the chaos, Count Vlad seized the moment, grabbing a microphone. With a sinister grin, he declared, “The snake has been beheaded. Hell’s Fang has claimed his victory, and now, the Fangs of Despair will ensure that the Pit remains a non-factor.”

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: “What a night of action and intrigue! The Morningstar’s victory is a testament to his dominance, and with the Fangs of Despair making their mark, the Fight Pit has never been more intense!”

Count Vlad and Hell’s Fang then head to the back with the title securely in the possession of the Dark Dominion.

 

It is time for our Main Event.  First, the 5th Column, Baron von Blood and Oswald Zimmerman came out to massive booing from the crowd. Baron von Blood gets on the mic and berates the tag teams in HCW but for whatever reason, they seem to have something against the Sons of Anarchy.  Baron says that they will always be compared to their fathers and will never amount to anything in HCW.  This got the fans even more irate.  Of course, things didn’t get any better when the current World Tag Team Champions the New Sicilians, Dirty Dick Albano and Vicious Vinnie Albano, came out with their manager Pierre Boulay. They were booed even louder than the 5th Column were.  Pierre walked over to the announce table and told Johnny and Mike they were going to witness a first in HCW tonight.

 

Match #5:  The Main Event:  Finals for the Heritage Tag Team Titles: The New Sicilians vs the 5th Column

 

The HCW Tag Team Championship match between The New Sicilians (Dirty Dick Albano & Vicious Vinnie Albano) and The 5th Column (Oswald Zimmerman & Baron von Blood) was an intense and gritty battle from the opening bell. The Albanos, known for their ruthless tactics, quickly took control of the match with Dirty Dick delivering a brutal apron sidewalk slam to Oswald Zimmerman. Despite Zimmerman’s attempts to fight back with brass knuckles and pinning attempts, the New Sicilians' constant double-teaming and punishing offense, including a smothering chinlock and superkick combo, kept the challengers on the back foot.

 

Commentary:

Mike 'The Voice' Johnson: "The New Sicilians are absolutely punishing Zimmerman here! Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie are relentless—those double teams are lethal!"

 

Johnny 'The Hammer' Harris: "Zimmerman’s trying everything, even pulling out those brass knuckles, but you’ve got to admire the cohesion of the Albanos. They’re a well-oiled machine, Mike!"

 

The 5th Column showed some resilience with Baron von Blood bringing hard-hitting offense, including a vicious German Lariat that rocked Vinnie Albano. But once Pierre Boulay, the New Sicilians' manager, got involved with well-timed distractions and even a chair shot, the tide permanently shifted in favor of the champions. Despite multiple pin attempts and desperate offensive moves from the 5th Column, the Albanos continued their calculated destruction.

 

Johnny 'The Hammer' Harris: "And there’s Pierre Boulay getting involved again! How can the 5th Column possibly overcome the odds with Boulay and both Albanos gunning for them?"

 

Mike 'The Voice' Johnson: "It's essentially a three-on-two here, Hammer! The 5th Column is fighting uphill every step of the way."

 

Just then, the Sons of Anarchy, Son of Drew and Son of Stache came out after the 5th Column has been taunting them for a while now.  Baron talked some smack to Son of Stache who blasted him with dropkick.

 

This distraction allowed Vicious Vinnie to hit a devastating Starboard Smash followed by a superkick to put Oswald Zimmerman down for the count, and the New Sicilians win the Heritage Tag Team Titles becoming the first team to hold both sets of titles. (23 min)

 

Celebrating with both sets of tag team belts, the Albanos basked in their glory—until HCW General Manager Max McGillicutty appeared.

 

McGillicutty announced that while the New Sicilians are technically the undisputed tag team champions, they would have to defend both sets of belts separately, meaning they would face double the number of opponents moving forward.

 

Mike 'The Voice' Johnson: "Whoa! McGillicutty just dropped a bombshell! Double the defenses for the New Sicilians? This could change everything, Hammer!"

 

Johnny 'The Hammer' Harris: "You can see it on their faces, Mike. Dirty Dick and Vinnie are not happy about this. Pierre Boulay looks like he’s about to explode!"

 

As the New Sicilians and Pierre Boulay fumed in the ring, the show ended with McGillicutty standing tall on the stage, having thrown a wrench into the New Sicilians’ reign as dual champions. How will the Albano’s respond to this unexpected twist? Only time will tell so stay tuned!
