* BACKSTAGE – SOLOMON is interviewed backstage by JOSH MCGUIRE moments before his match with THE TYRANT. SOLOMON promises to make TYRANT pay for what he, KNAKAL, and MALONE did to him last week.

* MATCH 6 – SOLOMON d. THE TYRANT at 3:18 via pinfall with the Deep Freeze. Neither RYAN KNAKAL nor JOE MALONE dared to try to help their friend in this one.

* BACKSTAGE – JOSH MCGUIRE interviews RYAN KNAKAL moments before his shot at JON DULBERG and the NYCW Championship. KNAKAL says that he has waited a long time for an opportunity like this, to represent a company as its champion, and his time has finally come. In just a few moments, he will defeat his cousin and realize his dream.

* MATCH 7 – NYCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP – JON DULBERG © d. RYAN “THE BOSS” KNAKAL at 20:01 to retain the title. DULBERG pinned KNAKAL with the Play of the Day after interference from SOLOMON. JOE MALONE had wandered to the ring with the referee unconscious, distracting DULBERG long enough for KNAKAL to blast him with a chair. However, before KNAKAL could score the victory, SOLOMON rushed out, decimated both MALONE and KNAKAL, leading to a DULBERG Play of the Day and a happy ending for the NYCW faithful.
