Opening Segment: Anthony Gangone Confronts Management

Anthony Gangone wasted no time igniting the crowd in Bay Shore. The challenger stormed to the ring and demanded Victory Pro Wrestling champion ECW King Alvin come out immediately so he would not have to wait to get his hands on him. Instead, VPW owner John E Radio answered the call. Radio attempted to reason with Gangone before the main event later in the night. Gangone thanked the owner for addressing him but warned that Alvin would not be thanking him later, promising the VPW Faithful would finally be rid of a champion many in the crowd have grown to despise.

Tough Love Tommy Heartfelt vs. Brother Greatness

Tough Love Tommy Heartfelt made his Bay Shore debut against the imposing Brother Greatness in a competitive opening contest. Heartfelt, who trained at House of Glory and recently debuted during VPW’s Springfield event in March, showed impressive poise early. Greatness used his size advantage to control stretches of the match, but Heartfelt responded with a fast paced offense and determination that energized the crowd. The newcomer demonstrated resilience throughout the bout, holding his own in his first appearance in Bay Shore and leaving a strong impression on the VPW Faithful against a powerful opponent.

VPW Women’s Championship: Champion Tiphani Grady vs. Kalypto

The scheduled triple threat match became a singles contest when Unwilting Tatiana was not medically cleared to compete. Challenger Kalypto seized the moment, attacking early and keeping champion Tiphani Grady on the defensive. The Bay Shore crowd loudly supported Kalypto, chanting “New Champ” as the momentum shifted throughout the match. Grady eventually fought back, delivering a headbutt before making the cover. Referee Emi counted the pinfall, but she did not notice that Kalypto’s foot was clearly on the bottom rope. Grady escaped with the victory and retained the championship amid heavy controversy.

Azure meets an old friend

With Mister Tibbs unable to compete, John E Radio returned to announce Azure’s replacement opponent. The arena erupted when the music of Steve Somerset played. Instead of walking through the entrance, Somerset appeared from the crowd and attacked his former partner from behind. The fight quickly spread throughout the building with no referee present to maintain order. The chaotic brawl was the first time they met in Bay Shore since Disorderly Conduct, when Azure injured Somerset after the loss of the tag team titles. The locker room eventually separated the two before Radio announced they would meet in an official match June 13 at Battle in Bay Shore 4.

VPW New York State Championship: Champion Rex Lawless vs. Bobby Buffet

Rex Lawless continued his tradition of open challenges for the New York State Championship when Bobby Buffet answered the call. Recently returning from a torn ACL, Buffet showed no signs of hesitation as he matched the champion’s power and intensity. The challenger pushed Lawless to the limit with a relentless offense that tested the champion throughout the match. Lawless responded with the resilience that has defined his title reign. After one of the toughest challenges of his run, Lawless secured the victory and once again proved why he remains the New York State Champion.

VPW Tag Team Championships: Champions Security Inc vs. Committed to Excellence

The rivalry between Security Inc and Adam Kirkland intensified when Kirkland returned at Before the Storm with a new partner, Skylar Mack. Known together as Committed to Excellence, the duo brought a fresh dynamic that kept the champions off balance. Security Inc relied on underhanded tactics to regain control, but their strategy backfired when Moses used a baton in front of the referee. The official immediately disqualified the champions, awarding the match to Committed to Excellence. After the decision, the champions assaulted their opponents and left Kirkland handcuffed in the ring, escalating tensions between the teams.

Valerie Verman’s Final Curtain

Valerie Verman’s expected farewell moment took an unexpected turn when champion Tiphani Grady entered the arena and mocked her absent rival. Grady taunted the crowd and questioned why Verman was not present to say goodbye. The moment was interrupted by Nikki Winters, a prospect from T2T Wrestling in New York City, who stepped forward and challenged the champion on the spot.

Winters quickly impressed the Bay Shore crowd with a powerful and fast paced offense that repeatedly caught Grady off guard. The challenger appeared to have the match won after rocking the champion and going for the pinfall. Moments earlier, Grady had shoved Winters into Referee Emi, leaving the official down. Referee Jason rushed to the ring and counted the three, seemingly crowning Winters the new Women’s Champion.

However, Referee Emi recovered just in time to see that Grady’s foot was clearly on the ropes during the pinfall. Confusion broke out between the two officials as they attempted to sort out the decision, creating chaos in the ring.

The situation escalated when Silk E Smooth, who had been at ringside as part of the commentary team, entered the scene. Smooth grabbed Winters and drove her head first into the ring post before throwing her back into the ring. With the challenger injured, the match was restarted.

Grady quickly took advantage of the moment. The champion covered the dazed Winters as Referee Emi returned to position and counted the three, allowing Grady to escape with the victory and retain the VPW Women’s Championship despite Winters delivering a breakout performance.

VPW Championship No Disqualification Match: ECW King Alvin (c) vs. Dr. Sleep Anthony Gangone

The main event erupted into chaos before the opening introductions were even completed. Dr. Sleep Anthony Gangone blindsided VPW Champion ECW King Alvin, launching the no disqualification match into an immediate brawl. With no restrictions in place, both men used chairs and wooden boards throughout a brutal fight that spilled around the ring and ringside area.

The battle took a shocking turn when Adam Cain made a surprise return. Cain grabbed a steel chair and handed it to his former best friend and tag partner Gangone, allowing the challenger to unleash a vicious assault on the champion. Gangone appeared moments away from victory as he locked Alvin in a sharpshooter in the center of the ring.

Before Alvin could submit, Cain suddenly struck Gangone with a cane, stunning the challenger and drawing loud boos from the Bay Shore crowd. Alvin quickly capitalized on the moment, covering the fallen Gangone as the referee counted the three. With the controversial assist from Cain, ECW King Alvin retained the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship to close out VPW TWENTY.

After the match, Adam Kirkland appeared. With Security Inc focused on Kirkland, an unknown man jumped the guardrail and attacked the champs from behind.
