Stephanie Queen vs Anna Clark
After referee Zelda Perera does her pre-match check, she signals for the bell and the match begins. Stephanie goes to lock up with Anna who counters with a big boot right to Queen’s face to show she means business. While Steph is down on the mat, Clark starts to lay in a few stomps. She attempts a kneebar, but Stephanie manages to slip out and knock Anna off her feet with a foot to the face. Stephanie looks down at Anna before running the ropes and catching Anna in the face with a sliding elbow! She hooks a leg for cover as the referee looks to see the pin attempt.
ONE!
Anna manages to kick out after a count of one. Stephanie gets up in frustration and gestures for Anna to stand as she starts to get up and attempts a superkick from out of nowhere, but Queen manages to dodge out of the way as Anna’s kick finds nothing but air. Stephanie counts with an Irish whip to the nearest corner and lands a corner clothesline. Queen drags her opponent to the center of the ring and applies a sleeper hold. Anna tries fighting her way out, but Stephanie keeps the hold locked in and hits her Doctor Sleep's Suplex (Sleeper Suplex). Stephanie keeps the hold locked in and transitions to Cujo's Choke (Bulldog Choke) forcing Anna to tap out. Stephanie lets go and rolls out of the ring, satisfied with her victory.
Winner: Stephanie Queen via Submission - Cujo's Choke (Bulldog Choke)

Segment
(The show cuts backstage to the locker room of IJWF champion Kayla Winters. Kayla is flanked by her bodyguard Grace, and her sister Christy.)
Kayla Winters: Nice try Nina, but just like all your previous attempts, you failed. That kid did okay, but ‘okay’ is never going to be successful against me. I’m still investigating just how you magically got booking powers for Sin City. Nina, now you have to fully know and understand the power a Winters yields. I’ve pulled rank and have a very special opponent hand picked for you.
(Kayla smirks.)
Kayla Winters: As the only relevant champion in LAW I have a certain level of power, stroke if you will. If I say I want something I get it, no questions asked. Because without me, this company would be dead.
(Grace and Christy nod in agreement.)
Kayla Winters: Nina, I used the power I wield to get a very special opponent just for you, an opponent that I’m sure the LAW losers here tonight know, and one the folks over at JET know very well. When the time is right Nina, I’ll announce that opponent to you and the LAW audience. Until then Nina, you’ll just have to wonder just who will that be. Now that I’ve had my say here tonight, we take our leave, there is a party in my honor I really must attend.
(Kayla and co. walk off screen.)
Yuki Sakaraba, Melissa Flash, Bianca Page, & Olympia vs Liz Karlson. Rina Sakaraba, Sandra Matthews, & Rebecca Brookes

An argument between two devolved into a shoving match which ended up with both sisters brawling in the center of the ring. The fight between both sisters spilled out of the ring, prompting both sides to engage with one another. Melissa Flash caught Liz Karlson out of nowhere with an enzuigiri, while Bianca Page nails Sandra Matthews with a dropkick, And Rebecca Brookes knocks Olympia out of the ring with a clothesline. Meanwhile, Both Sakarabas were trading blows on the ramp. The match as a whole turned into a hot mess, coughing referee Jenny Carson to call for the bell. Despite the match ending, all four women refused to break away from fighting each other, causing security to come out.
Winners: No contest - via double disqualification

Segment
Jasmine Peyton, Llorona, “Big Sexy” Santana, and Frankie are all standing backstage, wondering what their next move will be. All three women are pissed off about their loss at Sin City, but Jasmine tells them to not fret over such small concerns. Though Brenda and friends won the battle, the war is long from being over in Jasmine's eyes. She explains to her allies that they need to fall back and strike when the time is right. Her allies hesitated but eventually agreed. As Santana and Frankie left, Llorona asked Jasmine if she was going to make due on her “promise”. Jasmine assured her and ended the conversation by stating that they will “talk about it later”. Llorona nodded several times and left, leaving Jasmine alone and with a wicked smile on her face…
Interview
LAW Interviewer Maria Cuesta sits down with Nixie Caine and discusses her wrestling career since winning the previous Queen of the World tournament. Nixie explains that her career has skyrocketed and it opened up a plethora of opportunities, including title matches, one which she won. Caine goes on to explain that it’s weird winning in the name of the now defunct RCW, only to represent LAW this year as the previous winner. Maria asks her if she’s going to let off any glitter bombs during her entrance and Nixie just laughed and replied “we’ll see” followed by a wink.
Revy & April Song w/ Kenny vs The De Vil Sisters
The third match begins as April, Revy, and Kenny have a powwow, while Tori de Vil decides to go in first as the legal partner. Revy begins to step through the ropes, and catches Tori’s attention as she holds a flashbang in her hand, but April springboarded off the ropes for a flying crossbody! She landed on Tori and pinned her to the mat! Tori kicked out at two, and April wasted no time pulling her to her feet. She whipped Tori into the ropes and went for a lariat that Tori ducks and counters by sending April crashing out onto the apron. April blocks Tori’s punch attempt and fires back with one of her own, stunning her. Wasting no time, April ran across the apron to the nearest turnbuckle and climbed to the top. Tori recovered in time to see April scaling up and caught her in time with a Silver Bullet (Running big boot) to the face, knocking her back into the ring. She went for a pin, but April kicked out at two and a half! Tori picks her up, but April fights her off and nails her with a surprise Shing Black!

She follows up with an elbow drop from the middle rope and makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Tori kicks out!
Revy isn’t finished with Tori as she drags her to her team’s corner. She and April take turns mudhole stomping her face in while tagging in and out. April tags Revy in one more time before holding her leg. Revy hits the ropes and lands a running outside crescent kick that combos into April’s dragon screw! Revy pins a disoriented Tori who kicks out! Revy smiles at a snarling Roni de Vil as she applies a wristlock to her sister, pulling her up to her knee and placing her boot against Tori’s head before booting her in a manner more to insult than to injure. Tori looks like she’s growing exhausted with this contest already as Revy lines her up for an Axe Kick but Tori counters with a low impact spear! She looks to tag in her sister, but April signals Kenny to pull Roni down from the apron. Before de Vil could react, the camera guy with a wife and two kids ran up the apron. Just as Roni was about to give chase, April nails her with a flying European uppercut from out of nowhere. Revy goes for a roundhouse kick to a distracted Tori who Matrix evades in time and transitions with a roll-up counter! Revy kicks out and springs to her knees in a rage, but Tori catches her with a Silver Bullet II (Running big boot to a kneeling opponent)! Taking matters into her own hands, Tori realizes she’s on her own temporarily and picks up Revy for Red Fury (Discus Clothesline). Revy ducks the clothesline and counters with a Falcon Arrow (Sitout Suplex Slam)! Revy grabs the legs for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Tori kicks out much to Revy’s displeasure. As she looks over to the outside, she sees Roni fighting off April, who throws her partner into the barricade. Tori gets to her feet and nails Revy in the side of the head with a Bittersweet Kick (Spin kick). Just as Roni jumps up to the apron, her sister tags her in and Roni wastes no time jumping on top of Revy to pummel her with her fists! April tries to get involved as this match begins to break down, but Roni catches her on the apron and nails her with a front dropkick, knocking her off! Revy scrambles to her feet and goes for a lariat, but Roni manages to duck it, and counter with a Dissolve and Decay (Spinning belly-to-back suplex)! April tries to get back to the ring, but Tori dives off the apron and crashes into her. As Roni picks up Revy, Season of Slaughter steps out from the back, marching their way down the ramp. Roni calls out to her sister, but Revy attempts a surprise schoolgirl pin! As Revy kicks out, KATLA and Wither Seede approach Tori. As the ref calls for them to leave the area, Revy slips on some brass knuckles. She nails Roni in the face and hits a Recoil (Stunner). She makes the covers and gets the successful victory!
Winners: Revy & April via Pinfall - Recoil (Stunner)
After the match, Season of Slaughter grinned at a pissed off Tori and simply returned to the back, feeling accomplished in their task.
Segment
The camera opens to Rina and Yuki Sakaraba sitting across from Savannah “Sunshine” Andrews in what looks like to be a therapy office. Savannah is dressed in business attire with glasses and her hair tied back. Rina and Yuki are in their civilian clothes, but look like they would rather be somewhere else. Neither sister hasn't made an attempt to speak to the other. Savannah brings this up and asks what was wrong. Rina finally speaks, stating that her own sister turned on her in the battle royal. Yuki makes a counterpoint, stating that it was every woman for herself. Rina acknowledges the statement, but still felt neglected by her sister. It’s been quite some time since the Sakaraba Sisters had a significant win and Rina felt like it was tearing them apart. It felt like yesterday when they first discovered they were related and Rina didn’t want to lose her long lost sister to the negativity of the industry. She may love pro wrestling, but family is more important to her. Yuki sighed and agreed with Rina’s sentiment, followed by an apology. After they hugged it out, Sav mentions that Madam Vega wants them to represent LAW in the four corners match for the IJWF Tag Team Championships. Rina and Yuki accepted Vega’s proposal gracefully, citing that they wouldn’t disappoint their general manager.
Interview
In a pre-recorded interview, Monica Vaughan sat down with the Lethal Angel Champion, Roxy. To start off, Monica congratulated Roxy on successfully defending her title against Amber Payne. Roxy thanked Monica and cited that Amber pushed her beyond her limits and she came out a stronger fighter than when she was before the match. They both agreed that Eris’ run-in ruined Roxy’s moment and when asked what she was going to do about it, Roxy simply stated that she was going to prove to Eris that she doesn’t need a countout victory to defeat The Cleanser. She compared Eris to Amber, who she felt had more honor than the former, which was surprising for Monica to hear, given Roxy’s notorious history. The champ admits that she isn’t perfect, and while she’s not completely turning over a new leaf, she does want to prove to the world that not only is she better than her mother, but she’s just as good as the legends of the industry. She cites her 400-plus day reign, a feat that not even her mother Claudia Michaels have ever accomplished. She further states that about time she faces Eris, she would be champion for over 430 days. It’s Roxy’s goal to hold on to the belt for as long as she can, or at least make it to Lethal Hearts 3. As for Eris, Roxy feels she’ll be ready for their second encounter.
Roxy vs Jessica Hendrix vs Sydney St. Clair
At the start of the bell, Sydney St. Clair charges towards Jessica Hendrix with a lariat, who does, and catches. Roxy with a dropkick before she could take advantage. Sydney tried to sneak up behind Jessica, but the American Champ was aware and countered with a drop toehold. She transitions into an armbar, but Roxy stirs and grabs Jessica from behind. Jessica slips out and counters with a nasty neck breaker. Sydney flies in from out of nowhere for a diving hurricanrana! She wastes no time getting Hendrix to her feet for a DDT, but Jessica counters with a hip toss! Syd rolls out of the ring and slides out to catch a breather. Jessica sees Roxy and nails her with a dropkick. Then she quickly climbs to the top rope and launches herself off the top rope. She looks at Roxy getting to her feet, so she pulls an audible and flies to the outside with a beautiful moonsault press, landing on Sydney! Jessica slides into the ring, but gets caught out of nowhere by a Tramp Stamp (Jumping Superkick)! Roxy’s not finished as she bounces off the nearest ropes and hits Felina (Running Curb Stomp)! Wasting no time, Roxy climbs the nearest turnbuckle and is about to fly off, but Eris emerges from the crowd and climbs up the apron pushing Roxy off the top! The ref doesn’t see the push, but seeds Eris jumping from the apron and backing away up the ramp. Jessica jumps to her feet and nails Roxy with a Superkick. Just before she could do anything, Sydney jumps up to the apron and hits Aerial Ace (Springboard Cutter)! Jessica is too stunned to do anything as Syd climbs to the top and hits Radiant Star Implosion (Shooting Star Senton) for the eventual victory!
Winner: Sydney St. Clair via pinfall - Radiant Star Implosion (Shooting Star Senton)
As Sydney celebrates in the ring, Roxy rolls out and leans against the pron in pain, glaring at Eris who’s tapping the side of her head with a smirk on her face. The last shot of the show has the Cleanser making a title gesture around her waist while standing on stage.
