“No...no....NOOOO! WHERE ARE YOU?? WHERE ARE YOOOOOUUUU?!” She screams in both rage and agony, unable to control herself as she kicked against the post, shoved the stairs, and raged within the arena. Hania had to carry her out and as she passed Corvus, he looks to Hania with a blank stare

He shouted and gave her a smirk. Spike waves to the woman and leaves her alone as Bordeaux is finally up. Salina goes for a clothesline, but Scarlett ducks and connects with a German suplex into the corner with the broken table. Omega brought in several chairs as Scarlett was raining down fists in Salina. She dragged Salina to the pile and sets her up for the Scarlett Letter on the chairs for the three count. As the couple celebrate the win, Taya makes her appearance with a stack of papers in hand. She waits until Salina was conscious enough to pay attention.
“That’s too bad, Salina. Really...I mean, I wasn’t looking to lose more signees. However, you made the challenge and you lost. You know what that means, right?” She holds up the stack. “This is your contract.” Valkyrie tucks the mix under her arm and pulls out a lighter before burning the ends of the pages. It was swallowing the sheets rather quickly until she eventually had to drop it and stomp out some of the flames. Nothing, but burnt bits and ash were left. “Excuse me, that was your contract. Salina, you’re officially fired and have twenty-four hours to get your shit and go. Thanks for playing.”

She reaches the ropes to stand and Sami charges, but she brings the ropes down and he topples over. Melissa gets to the top rope, risking her injured leg with a crossbody to Sami from the outside. They topple down and Bray looks on with some annoyance. Santos tries to get him in the ring, but he was too heavy. She rolls in to break the count before trying to lift him again.

The count starts and Bray watches as Melissa requests a mic. “Sami! Sami, it’s me! It’s Melissa, please. Stop this. I know you’re still in there. The man I love is still in there....”
Callihan is up to his feet, but he’s still. He stares Melissa down as she appeals to him. Despite Bray’s demands, he remains as stiff as a statue until the time runs out and Santos is declared the winner. “I won...I won! I won, so you have to honour our deal. Give him back his soul! Give it back!”
Bray simply smiles before holding up the lantern. The lights flickered in the arena before he’s suddenly in front of her and grabs her by the face.
“You should never trust the Devil, child.” His laughter echoed throughout the arena, blocking out her screams as he attempts to suck the life force from her, but suddenly the crowd is on their feet. Sami is taken down from behind before the mystery attacker is in the ring on Bray. He takes the man out with a DDT before ripping the hood from his jacket off.
Jon Moxley stood in the ring with a grin on his face as he stares down Bray and Sami. Melissa looks on in shock as Moxley took one glance at her before beckoning Sami to fight. Instead, Bray forces him to retreat for the time being to fight another day.

Tyler Breeze vs Killer Kross
Three Stages Of Hell Rise of Phoenix Championship Match
Stage 1: First Blood
The match was changed last minute, but both men still looked ready to go. However, there was another change. Taya came down the ramp with a grin on her face in a referee’s shirt and entered the ring. She signaled for the bell as Kross looked on in disbelief. Tyler charged and forced him into the corner while distracted. Strike after strike to the face before charging in with a big boot to the face. Breeze looks to follow up with multiple knees to the face, trying to bust him open, but Kross was tough. It would take much more to make him bleed.
Tyler exits the ring to grab the bell from the bell keeper and swings as Killed Kross stands, but he ducks and plants Breeze with a slam. He starts to stomp down on Tyler before dragging him into the corner. He chokes Tyler before stomping the boot into the face multiple times. Kross then lifts him to the top. He goes for a suplex, but Tyler headbutts him down. This wasn’t enough to stop Kross from running up for a belly-to-belly suplex from the top. Kross slams the face into the mat and slams his fists down on Breeze. Kross then rolls out the ring for a weapon from the crowd and grabs a steel chair. He slides in and waits for Tyler to stand. He misses the chair shot and Tyler dropkicks him in the back.
Tyler follows up with a running boot to the face. He tries to connect with a knee drop after looking off into the crowd with a smirk and misses. Kross lifts him for a back suplex and follows up with a running knee. Kross grabs the chair again and starts driving the metal into the face repeatedly until finally Tyler was busted open. Red streamed from his forehead, but Kross kept going and going until Taya finally steps in, earning him that she can easily disqualify him. The two stand toe-to-toe and Kross laughs before tossing the to the outside. Taya finally calls for the next match to begin once Tyler’s face was mostly cleaned.
Stage 2: Steel Cage

Kross races forward and shoves the back into the cage wall before tossing Tyler to the match. Valkyrie looked on as Kross stomped down on Tyler before forcing him to his feet for a forearm.

Breeze slowly crawls to the door and Taya has to open it, allowing Tyler to escape and touch the floor first.
Stage 3: Casket
The cage was lifted as paramedics came to make sure both men were still able to compete. Once they were cleared, Taya starts the casket match, allowing the casket to brought out. The two men stare each other down before colliding in the ring with fists. Breeze is overpowered and Kross tries to powerbomb him into the casket early.

Kross throws a fit and makes his way to the outside, slamming his fists on the back. He tried for another suplex, but Tyler reverses into a Sliced Bread to the floor. Breeze gets to the barricade and connects with a moonsault to Killer Kross as he stands, but he’s caught and thrown into the crowd.
Breeze staggers and drags himself through the crowd and Kross shoves through them. He tries to capitalize, but Tyler knees him in the gut. The fans disperse as Breeze tosses him into a row of chairs. Taya is over the barricade now to watch on and makes the fans move out of the way as Breeze jumps on Killer Kross as he stands. They battle it out before reaching an empty section with a trashcan and table. Kross has the upper hand and grabs the can before slamming it down on the head. He dumps the trash on Breeze and stomps on the back before smirking to Taya. “This is your champion? Your golden boy?! He’s nothing! His time is finally up, Taya!” He laughs as he lifts Tyler up on his shoulders and drops him through the table. He drags the champion back into the arena and towards the casket. He tries to put Breeze in, but Tyler struggles and is thrown on the casket wrong. The legs break and it topples to the floor.
Kross tries to drag Breeze into the casket, but Tyler fights him back. He crawls under the ring just before Kross drags him again and turns over to spray a fire extinguisher. Kross is blinded and Tyler slams it against the back of the head. He tries to roll Kross into the casket, but he’s still fighting back. He shoves Breeze off of him and Tyler catches him with a beauty shot. Breeze drags him into the casket now and goes for the lid before Kross reaches up and grabs the throat, choking him. He sits up slowly with a twisted grin on his face before Tyler uses the extinguisher again to blind him and smashes it against the face, busting him open. He slams the lid shut and crawls on top of it to retain his championship. Taya congratulates him and raises his hand up high after returning the belt him. It’s short-lived, as the lights flick off and the crowd goes crazy. Taya screams before the lights are on and in her place is Bray, who drops Tyler with Sister Abigail before holding the briefcase up high with a maniacal laugh to end the show.
