Event[]
The show opened with the first match of the Homecoming King & Queen tournament: Alisha & Hernandez, with Johnny Swinger, vs. Deonna Purrazzo & the debuting "Drama King" Matthew Rehwoldt. Matthew won with a modified DDT on Hernandez.
The next match of the tournament was Thicc Mama Pump & Little Petey Pump vs. Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green. Chelsea hit the Unprettier on Mama Pump to get the win. Steve Maclin attacked Petey after the match and hit the Michinoku Driver II-B.
W. Morrisey cut a promo threatening Eddie Edwards. Following that was the next match of the tournament, Tommy Dreamer & Rachael Ellering vs. Brian Myers & a partner chosen by Sam Beale: Missy Hyatt! Missy constantly avoided getting tagged in due to not being actually a wrestler, and eventually walked out, allowing Dreamer & Ellering to hit Myers with the Doomsday Device and pin him.
Violent By Design cut a promo about how failure is just an opportunity at redemption. After that was the last first round match of the tournament: Decay (Rosemary & Crazzy Steve) vs. Fallah Bahh & Tasha Steelz. In the end Fallah accidentally squashed Tasha in the corner, and Steve hit him with a diving DDT to get the win.
Next was a promo where Steve Maclin explained that he attacked Petey to climb the ranks of the X Division, and that was followed by a singles match between Willie Mack, with Rich Swann, and Deaner, with the rest of Violent By Design. Willie covered Deaner after a stunner, but Rhino put his legs on the ropes, and Eric Young hit Willie with the VBD flag, allowing Deaner to hit a DDT and get the victory.
Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green had an interview, and right after that, they fought in a semifinals tournament match against Deonna Purrazzo & Matthew Rehwoldt. Matthew countered Cardona's Radio Silence into a powerbomb and followed with a modified DDT to win the match.
Missy Hyatt was interviewed, and got interrupted by Brian Myers and Sam Beale, complaining that she didn't wrestle. She insulted them and hit Beale with her handbag. Next up was a tournament match, Decay vs. Tommy Dreamer & Rachael Ellering. In the end, Dreamer hit a piledriver on Rosemary and attempted the Dreamer Driver on Steve, but he countered with a rollup to win.
Eddie Edwards had an interview where he talked about W. Morrisey's words from earlier, and Alisha encouraged him. In the next match, Black Taurus, accompanied by Havok, challenged Josh Alexander for the X Division Championship. Josh retained by pinning Taurus after a powerbomb backbreaker and the C4 Spike.
Deonna Purrazzo & Matthew Rehwoldt were interviewed right before the finals of the tournament, where they faced Decay. Deonna pinned Rosemary after the Queen's Gambit for her and Matthew to win the tournament and become the Homecoming King & Queen.
The main event was a hardcore match between W. Morrisey and Eddie Edwards. Though the match, Morrisey hit Eddie with a boot through a table and a chokeslam into a ladder, but Eddie came out on top after tackling him through a table and hitting the Boston Knee Party with a chain wrapped around his knee, ending Morrisey's undefeated streak.
