Bryce Donovan opens the show with a promo. Donovan says that whether you’re rooting for him or Dezmond Cole in tonight’s main event, the result will be the same. Donovan guarantees he will chokeslam Cole and remain the “forever, better than VSK, and greatest” Victory Pro Wrestling Champion. Donovan says if anyone has a problem with that, wait to see what happens next.
SECURITY INC def. CAIN INDUSTRIES
- Security Inc., Officer Ronald Moses and Guard Dog Malcom Murray, make their way out to the ring first, serenaded with boos from the VPW faithful. Cain Industries, Adam Cain, and Anthony Gangone make their way down to the ring, accompanied by more cheers than usual. Cain Industries was brought out by their managing director, Silk E. Smooth.
- Gangone and Moses started the match out for their respective teams, but Cain tags in immediately to take Gangone’s spot. Continuing to show their dissension, Gangone immediately tags back in, and Security Inc. takes the right to both members of Cain Industries.
- Gangone quickly gains the upper hand over Moses with a back-body drop suplex. He tags in Cain with a loud smack, which seems to only anger Cain. Cain takes out his frustrations on Moses and beats down the officer in the ring. Cain tags Gangone back in with a loud smack, continuing to show that both men are not on the same page.
- Gangone continues the onslaught on Moses before hitting another loud tag on Cain. Finally, Moses makes the tag as Cain is jawing back at his tag partner, which allows Murray to level Cain in the ring. Moses and Murray work together to keep down the much bigger member of the opposite team.
- After taking a brunt of the attack for the majority of the match, Cain finds the wherewithal to hit Murray with a big back-body drop and change the tide of the match. Gangone forcefully tags back in with a big smack to the face of Cain, and takes down Moses, who tags back in for Security Inc. Gangone locks in a sleeper hold on Moses, but Cain gets shoved into the hold, breaking it. This causes tensions to come to a head between the two members of Cain Industries.
- Gangone gets shoved into Smooth, knocking him off the apron, which allows Security Inc. to hit their finishing move on Cain and pin him to win the match. After the match, Smooth separates Gangone and Cain, as Cain heads to the back. Cain Industries still has not been able to figure it out.
VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER
TIPHANI GRADY def. NAT CASTLE
- Nat Castle and Tiphani Grady do battle to see who will punch their ticket into the second spot in the VPW Women’s Championship match next month at Gold Rush Rumble. Castle is the clear fan-favorite entering the contest. Grady lands a big shoulder block on Castle in the early going before Castle rolls her up for only a two-count and changes the momentum to her favor.
- Castle lands a big senton bomb on Grady for just a two-count. She tries to follow that up with a running hip tackle in the corner on a seated Grady, but Grady moves out of the match and targets the throat of Castle to change the tide of the match once again to her favor.
- Castle digs down deep and lands a big DDT on Grady, followed by a low drop kick on Grady. Castle follows this up with a flurry of kicks. Castle finally lands the hip tackle in the corner on Grady, but just gets a two-count. Ultimately, Grady lands a “Grady Bomb” on Castle and puts her away to join Unwilting Tatiana in a triple threat next month at the Gold Rush Rumble for the vacant VPW Women’s Championship.
BROTHER GREATNESS def. EVIL KIP & JJ DOZE
- Brother Greatness and JJ Doze welcomed reactions from the VPW faithful in attendance, but Kip didn’t fare as well with the crowd.
- Just as it seems Brother Greatness and Doze are about to work together, Doze tries to steal it in the early going by pinning Kip. This ultimately cuts the alliance between the two men very early. After a feeling-out process of pinfall attempt after pinfall attempt, Kip attempts to attack Doze from behind but meets a pele kick instead. Doze lands a big dive to the outside onto Kip, who pulls Brother Greatness in front of him to brunt all of the fall. This allows Kip to take the fight to Doze and beat up on him in the corner.
- As Kip attempts a pinfall, Brother Greatness re-enters the fray, hitting a punt kick on Kip. Brother Greatness attempts to go up top, but Kip hits the rope, causing Brother Greatness to crash and burn. Kip lands a double-knees move to the chest of Brother Greatness, who’s seated in the corner, but gets only a two-count. Kip turns his attention to Doze, who’s ready for him this time.
- Doze uses his speed and agility to take the fight to Kip, but Brother Greatness once again gets involved and stops Doze in his tracks. As Brother Greatness and Doze have a chop off on the top rope, Kip low blows each of them and shoves them both off the top. Kip tries to pin each of them, but they both kick out, which angers Kip. Ultimately, after a very good back-and-forth competitive match, Brother Greatness lands his finishing move on Kip and pins him to win the match.
SAMWELL THOMPSON (w/ VALERIE VERMAN) def. ERIC JAMES
- One of the biggest fan favorites in Victory Pro Wrestling today, Eric James, goes one-on-one with Samwell Thompson, who’s accompanied as always by his other half, Valerie Verman. The two men start with a collar-elbow tie-up. After a feeling-out process of sorts, Thompson sends James’ neck-first into the top rope. However, this doesn’t keep James grounded for long.
- James takes out Thompson with a beautiful cross-body from the top rope. However, just as it looks like James is in the driver’s seat once again, Thompson relies on help from his girlfriend, Verman, who’s faking an arm injury. This allows him to hit James with a low dropkick from the ring to the floor.
- Thompson continues his onslaught on James in the ring, targeting his neck and midsection. The fans try to rejuvenate James, who’s stuck in a sleeper hold, and it succeeds. James changes the momentum of this match and hits a big slingshot elbow drop on Thompson for just a two-count.
- James attempts his finisher, but Thompson counters. James instead lands a superkick on Thompson to remain in control. Ultimately, after a terrific match from both competitors, James seemingly has the match won when he lands his finisher, but Verman makes the save, distracting the referee. This allows Thompson to hit a Russian leg sweep into the middle turnbuckle, and a big kick for just a two-count.
- Both men land strikes in the middle of the ring, trying to knock the other one out. James hits a massive superkick and a springboard cutter for just a two-count. Once again, Verman makes the save by putting Thompson’s foot on the bottom rope. This drives James to chase Verman around the ring on the outside and even into the ring. Thompson rolls up James when he finally catches her and wins the match. This was a fun one.
HAIR vs. TITLE MATCH FOR THE VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION REX LAWLESS def. ZAKK RAMSES
- In the first championship match of the night, Rex Lawless is putting his Victory Pro Wrestling New York State Championship on the line against Silk E. Smooth’s newest client, Zakk Ramses. Lawless is the fan-favorite entering this one as the Victory Pro Wrestling faithful showers him with love from his entrance into the match. Lawless lands a big kick to start the match and tries to steal one, but Ramses kicks out.
- Ramses makes his way outside to regroup and capitalizes on Smooth’s distraction, attacking the champion from behind. Ramses sends Lawless into the ring post and continues to beat down the champion all around the ringside area. Ramses wastes too much time jawing at the crowd, and Lawless hits him with a big boot as he’s stepping into the ring.
- Ramses changes the tide in the match when he lands a big fallaway slam on Lawless. Ramses beats down the champion and stops him in his tracks whenever he tries to fight back. The fans try to get Lawless back into the swing of things, but Ramses’ display of power keeps Lawless at bay. However, Ramses has a bit too much fun, and Lawless meets him with a big boot in the corner. Both men take each other out with a big clothesline.
- Ramses attempts a chokeslam, but Lawless counters with a big double-handed chokeslam of his own, but only gets a two-count. A bit later on, Ramses lands a big chokeslam finally, but Lawless kicks out at two. With both of these men now hitting their big moves on each other, it doesn’t seem like they know how to put the other away. Ramses hits a big cross-body from the ring apron to Lawless, who’s on the floor.
- The referee inadvertently gets knocked out by Lawless, who is shoved into her. Ramses screams at Smooth to do something, and Smooth brings out Adam Cain. Cain looks to use the New York State Championship belt on Lawless, who moves out of the way, forcing Cain to connect with Ramses instead. Cain gets shoved into Smooth, and Lawless takes out Cain and hits a double-chokeslam on Ramses to retain his title.
- After the match, JJ Doze comes out to help Lawless, and Lawless cuts Ramses’ beard and hair.
VPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
CHAMPIONS EVEN STEVENS def. PICTURE PERFECT STUDIOS
- Picture Perfect Studios, JGeorge & Jake Lang, make their way down to the ring first, accompanied by Lady Killjoy. They get a very mixed reaction. Even Stevens, Stephen Azure & Steve Somerset make their way down to the ring next, with a much more favorable reaction from the fans. Azure and Lang start the match for their respective teams, with Azure quickly getting the upper hand.
- Azure tags in Somerset, and they “do the thing” to Lang. Somerset tries an early pinfall but only gets a one-count. When JGeorge tags in, Somerset continues on the offensive. The Event Stevens display great tag team prowess and show their ability to work together arguably better than any other tag team in VPW today, and do an excellent job at taking the fight to JGeorge.
- However, Lady Killjoy grabs the leg of Azure and causes a distraction, allowing JGeorge to knock Azure out on the floor where Lang and Killjoy lay the boots on him. Picture Perfect Studios firmly controls the match and does a good job of separating Azure from his tag team partner. Lady Killjoy gets involved in the match a few more times, continuing to help her guys and show her worth as a manager.
- A double team move from Picture Perfect Studios goes haywire, and Lang accidentally knocks out JGeorge with a big boot. This allows Azure to hit Lang with a stunner and make the hot tag to Somerset. Somerset quickly takes down JGeorge and Lang. The fresh partner of the Even Stevens hits a cross body onto JGeorge from the top for just a two-count.
- After some more terrific back-and-forth tag team action, Lang hits a spear on Somerset and throws JGeorge on top of him from the top rope for just a two-count. With Picture Perfect Studios now desperate for the win, they resort to trying to use the VPW Tag Team Championship belt. However, this draws out the returning Johnny Collins.
- Collins comes out to the ring and chases Lady Killjoy around the ring. JGeorge accidentally knocks out Lang with the belt and Lady Killjoy. Collins throws JGeorge back inside the ring, which allows Even Stevens to hit their finisher on JGeorge and win the match.
After the match, the Even Stevens celebrate with the returning Johnny Collins.
Security Inc. comes out and jumps the Even Stevens and Collins from behind and hold up the tag team gold, signifying they want next. Cain Industries comes out next and continues to attack the Even Stevens and Collins.
Commissioner Kevin Fulton says that there will be no shot for Cain Industries and that they are out of chances. Somerset grabs the mic and says he wants both of them at the Gold Rush Rumble next month.
Fulton then makes it official: Even Stevens vs. Cain Industries vs. Security Inc. for the Victory Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championships at the Gold Rush Rumble.
VPW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER
KATE THORN def. VALERIE VERMAN
- Verman is scared to lock up with Thorn in the early going of the match, which leads to Thorn attempting a roll-up for just a two-count. Thorn takes Verman down with a big shoulder block and continues to stay on the offensive. Thorn beats up Verman in the corner, landing some strong strikes and a big shoulder block to the gut.
- Thorn hits a big slam on Verman for just a two-count. As Verman’s on the apron, Thorn charges at her, but Verman moves out of the way and hits Thorn with a big knee strike.

- Thorn looks to put Verman away, but Samwell Thompson runs out to make the save. However, Thorn lands a big spear and seemingly has the match won before Thompson pulls the leg of the referee. Verman hits a pedigree and seemingly has won the match, but Thompson is still arguing with the referee.
- Ultimately, Thorn hits her finishing move and wins the match. The match is set for the Gold Rush Rumble on August 9th, it will be The Unwilting Tatiana vs. Tiphani Grady vs. Kate Thorn for the vacant VPW Women’s Championship.
VICTORY PRO WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
DEZMOND COLE def. CHAMPION BRYCE DONOVAN
- The main event of the show sees Bryce Donovan put the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship on the line against “Da Big Boofa,” Dezmond Cole. Both competitors in this match are very loved by the VPW fans. Cole makes his way down to the ring first, hyping up the crowd in the process. Donovan follows and gets an equally favorable reaction.
- The match starts with a collar-elbow tie-up by both competitors. Donovan fights with some fans as he locks in a headlock on Cole, but Cole uses his power and speed to reverse it, like only he can. However, Donovan lands a big shoulder block on Cole and goes for a chokeslam, but Cole gets out of it and regroups.
- Donovan rubs the head of Cole, and this angers him as the match begins to turn less friendly than originally thought. The match spills over to the outside, and Donovan lands a chokeslam on Cole onto the apron. This changes all the momentum in the match firmly into Bryce’s corner.
- Cole tries to fight back, to no avail, and Donovan gets more aggressive with his beatdown of Cole as the match progresses. Donovan mocks Cole in the corner with “BOOFA” chants of his own. However, this little time he had playing with the crowd was his downfall as Cole regrouped and showed some signs of life. Cole lands a big scoop slam on Donovan, which fires up the crowd.
- Donovan counters Cole’s newfound offense with a big blackhole slam and tries to win it there, but just gets a two-count. Donovan calls for another chokeslam, but Cole counters and hits a big move of his own for just a two-count.

- Donovan lands a big boot on Cole and seemingly has a look of disgust on his face. Donovan tries a super chokeslam from the top rope, but Cole fights out of it, and hits a big German Suplex on Donovan, who’s falling from the top rope. Cole follows this up with his finisher and pins him to win the match and the Victory Pro Wrestling Championship.
