Steve Corman is interviewed by Renee Peltier. Steve says Luke Mathews should have just awarded him the title and that he's just delaying the inevitable with this tournament. Steve is looking at the positives though: he gets an entire tournament bye and will reclaim the AXW Championship in his homeland of Canada at Winterslam. Steve is considering this as sort of a vacation until Winterslam and thus does not wish to answer any more questions.

AXW Championship
#1 Contender's Tournament
Round One
A hard hitting match between these two. Some highlights from Royal's offense are Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, Flapjack, Flying Cross Body, Moonsault, Spear. From Hall we see Dominator, Clothesline From Hall, Release Powerbomb, This Will F'N Hurt(Disarmer), Shot Heard Round The World(Superkick). Acer Stone would come to ringside, Danny Hall allowing himself to be distracted by his presence. Royal Mutilation (Shelton Benjamin’s “Pay Dirt”) sees victory for Anthony Royal.
Winner: Anthony Royal
Chaz Anix is backstage and discusses his position in the tournament. He says if he loses this tournament, he not only loses a Main Event spot at Winterslam, he could lose his Xperience Championship as it must be defended in every singles match he's in. Chaz says he's the only person in this tournament to have added pressure to win the whole thing. Anix states that he's spent the past year fighting to get in the position he's in now and there's no way in hell he's not going the ninety days with the Xperience Championship. Chaz says that he is going to win the whole tournament, and may become the first ever dual champion in AXW. Chaz finishes off by saying that after he wins the AXW Championship, he can redeem the Xperience Championship on himself and become a two-time AXW Champion just like that. Interviewer Gina Furlow questions if that's even how that works, and Chaz responds by saying that he's "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" and can do whatever he wants.

Acer got a bit dinged up in the fight against Danny Hall but does his best not to show it. A nice light heavyweight contest that sees a Jumping Tornado DDT, Stalling Suplex, Springboard Hurricanranna, Disaster Kick, Shooting Star Elbow Drop, and Stone Cutter (Axe Kick) from Acer Stone. Notable maneuvers by Justin Wyndham include Global Phenomena (Swinging side slam backbreaker), Bound for Glory(360° corkscrew back elbow smash), Olympic Splash (Double Moonsault), Texas Cloverleaf, Ranhei, and Peace Out(Spinning Capoeira kick). It's EL Fenix(Phoenix Splash) from Wyndham that puts Stone away.

Ben Eatr is interviewed and he discusses his opponent for next week: Chaz Anix. Ben brings up that Chaz Anix said he could become AXW's first dual champion, but Ben begs to differ. Next week, Ben claims he will become AXW's first ever dual champion, and has the opportunity at Winterslam to top it off by becoming AXW's first ever triple champion, as well as the first person to become Triple Crown Champion while holding all three titles to qualify for that. Ben says he's been fighting just as long to get his name relevant and this tournament opens up a lot of doors for him and its up to him to capitalize on them.

Trent Mathews is standing backstage holding a clipboard. Sam De Santa stands beside him with her hand on her face. Ricky Diamond approaches them and questions why they weren't present for his match on The Alternative earlier. Trent says that he and Sam were busy trying to recruit new Chicks & America Bouncing Bikini Babes™. Trent says he has narrowed it down to fifty candidates. Ricky asks how many they interviewed, to which Trent responds by saying fifty. Sam thinks the whole thing is stupid and a waste of time. Ricky isn't fond of Sam's attitude and uninvites her to the Sasquatch New Year's Party his sasquatch friends were throwing, tells Trent to keep him updated on the Chicks & America Bouncing Bikini Babes™, and walks off, while Sam still tries to figure out how she got pulled into this mess.

All the big moves are hit in this one. Aries' roundhouse kick, German suplex, belly to back suplex, stiff kicks to the sternum of kneeled opponent, double powerbomb, diving elbow drop, Enter Gideon (Beautiful Disaster Kick), San Diego Driver (Full Nelson pickup released into a wheelbarrow facebuster). TO'A's Toa-Plex(German suplex followed into a dragon suplex and finished with an X-Plex), Death Valley Driver, Samoan Elbow (Feint leg drop transitioned into an elbow drop to the opponent's chest), Warrior Slam (One-armed side slam, as a counter to an oncoming opponent), Executioner (Jumping twisting enzuigiri while facing away from a cornered opponent), Samoan Wrecking Ball (Running hip attack to the head of an opponent seated in the corner with theatrics), Elbow Suicida (Suicide dive transitioned into a flying forearm smash), Sweet Dreams (Running Arched Big boot). TO'A has Aries lifted for a Island Driver (Sitout side powerslam) but a rake to the eyes gets Aries free, who quickly follows up with The Culmination (Front slam pickup swung into a Rock Bottom) for the victory. Post-match Aries sees a Malcolm M. Mitchell attack coming and gives him a Culmination for his efforts. Aries stands tall to end the show.
Winner: Duncan Aries
