[align=center] JESSICA ANDERSON vs. COCO RAMIREZ
The pre-show this week was of a competitive bout between two talented women. British beauty Jessica Anderson took a little while to get going in the early exchanges, possibly feeling the effects of 14 hour flight from Melbourne. Her opponent, Coco Ramirez, looked in control but Anderson grew into the match and soon began to dominate. She finished it off with an impressive Corkscrew 620 Senton (Show Stealer) before blowing a kiss to the cheering crowd. Arcane’s music then began to play as the fans chanted his name. He congratulated Jessica, saying her performance deserved to be seen while the cameras were rolling. He asked the fans if they wanted to see more of their newest recruit, before announcing that due to unforeseen circumstances Cynthia Machado was unable to compete in the night's opening match, and that if she had enough left in the tank, Anderson would be her replacement. The Pasadena fans were excited to hear this, as Jessica responded with a thumbs up to the crowd and a yes to Arcane.
WINNER: JESSICA ANDERSON [/align]
After a short break the show began with a recap of the previous week's action; Bianca Davis using the ropes to pin Lizzie Jones, Kenny Sex charming a thickly set woman in the crowd, an injured Samantha Tolson battling bravely against Lexxi D. Vine; Kennedy and Aurelio wowing the crowd in the California Cup, and Rachel Redding pulling no punches towards the CWC. The HPW theme song then began to play followed by a small procession of fireworks. Henry Walsh and Samuel Santos greeted the fans at home, giving a thorough rundown of tonight’s card. A clip was then played of what went on before the show got underway before the six competitors made their entrances for the opening match.

ERYN TYME, MONTANA SHANE & JESSICA ANDERSON vs. BLAISE FADER, CARLI DAVIS & DAKOTA SHANE
Before the match the commentators reminded everyone that if anybody pinned or forced Eryn Tyme or Montana Shane into submission they would steal their number one contender spot. Eryn Tyme welcomed Jessica Anderson to Hollywood Pro with a hug before insisting she started the match. Montana, not wanting to lose her number one contender spot, was happy to let her. The bell rang as Eryn locked up with Dakota Shane. There was a good back and forth between the two until Eryn tagged an unsuspecting Montana in without her consent. The Referee ordered her to compete, much to Dakota’s disappointment, who duly tagged in Blaise Fader to the fans delight. Fader wasted no time in getting revenge on ‘The Queen of Hardcore’, using her size advantage to effectively bully her around the ring. She refused to let up, continuing with the punishment before eventually going for a pin, only to have it broken by her own partner, in Dakota. The two began to squabble before Carli Davis tagged herself in and hopped over the ropes. Montana scrambled to the corner and tagged in Jess for her first bit of televised in-ring action. Carli asked the Ref what the outcome was when she pinned Jess, as she wasn't a number one contender, but the Ref was none the wiser. Jessica took offence to this presumption and demanded Carli come at her. The two locked up with the bullish Anderson getting the better of her fresher opponent. She hit a spinning heel kick followed by a standing senton, as the crowd jumped to their feet in support of the newcomer. Feeling confident she picked her opponent up by the hair and went for the Veneno - Desecrator - but Carli reversed into a scoop slam. As both women crawled across the mat looking for the tag Blaise and Dakota had their arms out stretched but as Carli reached the corner of the ring Dakota levelled Blaise with an elbow to the face, securing the tag for herself. Jessica tagged in Montana though who wasn't expecting to see her sister across from her inside the ring. Dakota walked up to her sister insisting that they shouldn't fight, then floored Montana with a hair pull. The two siblings brawled around the ring much to the amusement of Eryn Tyme, before a double crossbody on one another floored them both in the centre of the ring. Dakota pulled herself up on the ropes first but Blaise Fader tagged herself in and clotheslined her partner over the top ropes. Meanwhile Montana was on all fours looking to tag in Eryn Tyme. Blaise entered the ring as Montana and Eryn put their arms out for the tag but Miss Assitude pulled away at the last minute. She raised her middle fingers at Montana who couldn't believe her eyes but she didn't have time to respond before Fader was dragging her to the middle of the ring. She went straight for the Godiva Lock (Seated Stretch Muffler) as the fans went wild. Carli Davis jumped into the ring to try and break it up but Jess Anderson was quick to thwart it. Montana screamed in agony but there was nothing she could do other than tap out to end the match.
WINNER, AND NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: BLAISE FADER[/align]
In the backstage area, newly appointed Hollywood Pro interviewer, Cass Baumer, was seen walking through the hallways, microphone in hand. She turned the corner to see none other than her friend, Lizzie Jones. The two embraced, excited to see one another, but Cass insisted they remain professional, offering her the chance to be her first informal interview. The two discussed Lizzie's upcoming bout against Lexxi D. Vine, their social media animosity and Lizzie's feelings about her match last week - which saw Bianca Davis cheating to defeat her. Lizzie went on to talk about how she had won her first match in her other promotion and that she hoped the confidence that gave her could translate into a win here in HPW. Cass then ended the interview wishing Lizzie all the best, as Lizzie blew a kiss to the camera.
There was then a brief commercial for BCW, recapping their previous event with the GCW invasion and wrestling legend Journeyman Phillips winning the BCW championship in controversial circumstances. When the cameras returned Arcane was in the middle of the ring. As his music began to fade he started by saying he had some key announcements to make regarding the first ever CWC Supershow, United We Stand. HPW, much like their promotion counterparts, would be sending representatives to compete for the CWC Championships and he was delighted to announce who some of those competitors would be. First up was the Junior Heavyweight Title, which will be contested by Hollywood Pro’s very own Finch Maruta. This pleased the fans a great deal. He was also delighted to announce that they would be sending a wrestler to compete in a one on one match for a shot at the CWC US Championship. The winner of that match will face the winner of a battle royal earlier in the event for the coveted strap. That wrestler, he said, would be Kenny Sex! ‘And finally,’ he added, ‘to the grandest prize of all, the CWC World Title’. Arcane said that one person in particular had stood out to him on last week's show. This wrestler had no right to be in the ring, given their physical condition. They were not fit to compete, but did so anyway, giving an excellent account of themselves. He said he knew there and then this person had the mental fortitude to fight for, and hopefully, bring back to Hollywood Pro, the biggest prize of all. That person, he announced,was SAMANTHA TOLSON! The fans were delighted to hear this and immediately started up a ‘Tol-son!’ chant as Arcane’s music began to play again.

[align=center] LEXXI D. VINE vs. LIZZIE JONES
"Call Me Superstar" hit to announce the arrival of Lexxi D. Vine and fans were less than appreciative of her catwalk poses and mimed selfies as she made her way to the ring. They did pop for Lizzie Jones as she strode out to "Love Bites (and So Do I" by Halestorm. While Lexxi leaned over the ropes to berate a jeering fan at ringside, Lizzie went straight after her with clubbing blows. The bell rang and Lizzie had a near fall almost immediately after hitting a reverse DDT. She whipped a screaming Lexxi into the corner and nailed her with a running dropkick. She then scaled the turnbuckle and connected with a pointed diving elbow on Daddy's Little Princess. She pulled Lexxi up but received an eye rake; Lexxi then ran the ropes but right back into a hip toss. Jones climbed out onto the apron and launched herself into the ring, looking to hit her signature springboard bulldog but Lexxi managed to connect with a crescent kick. She laid one arm across Lizzie but the fan favorite kicked out. Lexxi ran the ropes again, this time looking to end the match with The H8rmin8r, but Lizzie snapped up just in time. She doubled Lexxi with a gut kick and then went for the Botox Breaker (Unprettier) but Lexxi reversed the setup into a backslide pin for the three count. Lexxi made a very quick getaway, taking her victory selfie from the stage, while Lizzie shook her head in disappointment.
WINNER: LEXXI D. VINE[/align]
Backstage the Shane Sisters, complete with entourage, were seen complaining to Arcane about the events earlier the night. With four women yelling at once Arcane shouted over them to calm down, and speak one by one. Montana, the most irate, started first. She was furious at Eryn Tyme for not making the tag, and costing her a shot at the Women’s Championship. She was also angered by the fact Arcane had allowed a ‘tired’ Jessica Anderson onto her team, despite wrestling a match beforehand. She demanded she be given her shot back. Dakota then piped up. She argued that if Fader hadn't launched an unprovoked attack she wouldn't even have won the spot in the first place. Arcane said as much as he'd love to remove Fader from the match, she did legally steal Montana’s spot, and the fans would likely lynch him if he reversed it. BUT, he continued, in light of her underhand tactics it seemed appropriate to grant Dakota a spot in the Women’s Championship match next week. He turned to Montana. He offered no sympathy for Eryn’s actions, going as far to say that she probably deserved it. But the absence of Cynthia Machado meant nobody should have to lose their title shot. The women all looked very pleased with themselves, and began hugging and celebrating as the cameras cut back to ringside.

[align=center] FINCH MARUTA vs. DANIEL CORVIN
The next bout was a much anticipated grudge match. Corvin made his entrance first, with his Father in tow. Maruta kept him waiting though, as Corvin tapped his proverbial watch in protest at the Referee. Eventually he appeared looking focused and ready for a war. He walked halfway down the ramp then ran the rest, sliding under the ropes and into the ring as the match immediately got underway. Both men traded heavy blows and a series of Irish whips and narrow escapes before coming to a standstill on opposite sides of the ring. The Pasadena crowd applauded the athleticism of them both as Corvin feigned a newfound respect for his adversary. Finch let out a wry smile as the two stepped forward to lock up but Corvin hit a jab to the stomach followed by a knee to the midsection. He was using his size advantage now, hitting the lightweight Maruta with a German Suplex and some heavy chops. The Prince of Darkness was in control, dominating Maruta with a series of power moves. He went for the Darkness Elevated (Pop up Powerbomb) but Maruta countered with a few blows the head. Both men fell to the floor but were quickly back to their feet. Corvin tried a big boot to the face but Maruta hit a flying superman punch on the rebound. Maruta jumped to the top rope as Corvin staggered to his feet, but he was quickly met by a springboard moonsault inverted DDT. It looked to be over as Maruta went for the cover but Ashe Corvin raised his son's leg onto the ropes before notifying the Referee of the illegal pinfall. Maruta was on his feet complaining as Ashe pulled himself up onto the ring apron to aggravate him further. The two exchanged words with the official in between as Daniel climbed to his feet. Ashe pulled the Referee in close to get his point across but as he did so Daniel bent down and low blowed Finch before rolling onto his back and pretending to still be in pain. With both men down Ashe jumped off the ring apron as Daniel sprung to his feet once more. He climbed the turnbuckle and hit a shooting star press before making the cover, this time for the three count. Finch tried to kick out but Corvin had his feet on the ropes for leverage, pressing his weight down on a helpless Maruta.
WINNER: DANIEL CORVIN[/align]
After the match Ashe Corvin rolled into the ring and raised his son's arm in the air. The crowd jeered as he yelled ‘This is the future!’ at the top of his lungs. Finch Maruta rose to his feet and complained to the Ref before spinning Daniel around to confront him. The two went nose to nose looking ready to brawl when Ashe delivered a hard boot to the back of Maruta. He dropped to his knees as the Father and Son surrounded him but before they could inflict further damage Kenny Sex’s music began to play as the man himself came running towards the ring. He sprinted down the ramps and slid under the ropes looking ready for a fight but the Corvin’s decided their work was done, and exited the ring, looking pleased with themselves. Kenny helped his friend to his feet as the two pairs of men stared one another down from across the ropes.

[align=center] DILLON TAYLOR vs. JOSH KENNEDY (BCW)
Josh Kennedy entered the ring to a mixed reception as the action got underway. The match was fast paced, with Taylor dominating the early stages. Kennedy was fired up. This was his first bout since losing in a controversial BCW Championship match, and he clearly had a lot of pent up frustration. At first he appeared to be trying too hard, making little mistakes for the Irishman to capitalise on. Kennedy was yelling and swearing, struggling to get a stronghold on the match but Dillon became complacent, laughing at his opponent and jeering up the crowd. This didn't go down too well with Hollywood Pro fans who appeared to have endeared themselves to the Long Beach grappler. With the bit between his teeth he reversed an Irish whip and hit Taylor with a wrist lock lariat. Kennedy had his tail up now and seized the moment with his signature Ghost Hardware (Fisherman Driver). Before Taylor knew what had hit him he followed up with the Broken Mirror - curb stop - for the three count, as the crowd rose to their feet.
WINNER, AND THROUGH TO THE CALIFORNIA CUP FINAL: JOSH KENNEDY (BCW)[/align]
After the match, Josh Kennedy asked for a mic and began thanking the fans for their support. He said a lot had been said about brand loyalty and who was the best in the CWC recently, but it shouldn't be taken to heart. He said there was some shit going down between BCW and GCW right now, but they would soon have their fed back. He added that it was important to have a healthy rivalry between the territories, but at the end of the day the fans, guys like him, they were all one family. He was then interrupted by the sound of ‘Hurricane (Arty Remix)’ by Halsey as Rachel Redding came out onto the ramp way. She was holding a box of tissues and pretending to cry. She said she was standing in the back listening to Kennedy’s “beautiful speech” and it really “moved her”. She joked that she wished she had a family like they all did. She then said that luckily for him all his “family” would be able to witness her lay him out on his back next week. She added they could be there to see him stretchered to hospital where they could all sit at his bedside and weep together. Kennedy replied that she should show a bit more respect to a company that has given her such a great opportunity to compete here. He said in many ways he hoped she wins tonight so he could send her running back to West Coast Genesis with her tail between her legs next week. But if she didn't, not to worry, he would be around for the remainder of the evening if she wanted to try and ‘lay him out’ before she leaves. Redding let out an exaggerated yawn. ‘Sure,’ she said ‘See you next week, sweetie’ she added with a wave, as her music played and she left the stage.
After a brief commercial for Vortex Wrestling, Confident by Demi Lovato hit over the public address system and the boos began to grow loud. As she taunted the fans on the way to the ring, she soon climbed up the steel steps before ordering the ref to lower the ropes for her. She grabbed the mic with a bright arrogant smirk on her face and declared, "SHUT UP THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED!" The boos only got louder as her smirk grew bigger. The Queen B then went on to say what she did to Lizzie Jones was proof enough that she is above all the cheap trash, peasants, and ratchet hoes in the woman's division. This, of course, caused more boos from the Hollywood fans. Bianca stated she is going to the be the next HPW Woman's champion and if anyone gets in her way they are going to be forced to bow down and recognize the Queen. Bianca then warned Samantha Tolson that tonight she will not know what hit her; what she did to her friend Lizzie was just a small taste of the power of the Queen B. She then ordered Samantha to come and face her fate before handing the mic back to the referee.

[align=center] BIANCA DAVIS vs. SAMANTHA TOLSON
Samantha Tolson received a warm reception from the fans as Skillet blared across the arena. She kept her eyes locked on Bianca as she strode down the ramp way. The match started and Sam Tolson immediately chopped her opponent back into the corner and then pulled her back out for a short-arm clothesline. Bianca climbed to her feet, outraged at her glowing red chest, but Sam was relentless, connecting with a few more chops and then a belly-to-belly suplex for a near fall. She whipped Bianca into the corner again, this time starting her Nihon e no ōdo (a series of vicious kicks with both legs) but Miss Hollywood slipped through the ropes to recover at ringside. Sam vaulted over but Bianca stepped aside and The Hardcore Queen of Suplex Nation went crashing to the floor. Bianca rolled back in, hoping to claim a count-out victory but Sam returned on the seven count. Bianca hit the Coronation (Shining Wizard) out of nowhere but Tolson just kicked out. Bianca hoisted her up for the Beauty Sleep (Go To Sleep) but Sam elbowed her way out of it. She then hit the Victory Drop Alpha (Trapper Keeper Bomb) on a groggy Bianca, Before Sam could make the cover, Lexxi D. Vine was on the apron, making the L for loser sign. Tolson quickly dropped her with a elbow smash but when she turned back round, Bianca rolled her into a small package for a surprise three count. Bianca joined Lexxi at ringside to celebrate while Tolson fumed, swearing revenge on the two divas.
WINNER: BIANCA DAVIS[/align]

RACHEL REDDING vs. JEANETTE JUSTICE
‘Hurricane (Arty Remix) by Halsey blared across the Pasadena Arens as the crowd began to jeer Rachel Redding, of West Coast Genesis. She made her way towards the ring ignoring the abuse and vitriol that came her way, before stopping, uncharacteristically, to sign an autograph for an excitable young fan. She signed the girl’s programme but opted to keep the marker pen, much to the annoyance of her onlooking parents, before placing it under the turnbuckle. She played to the crowd as her opponent Jeanette Justice made her entrance to a contrasting reception. As Justice flaunted her assets to the Pasadena fans Redding rolled her eyes and yawned before attacking her from behind. The Referee called for the bell as Redding pounded Justice into the mat with ruthless aggression. It seemed she had a point to prove as the helpless rookie struggled to overcome the brutal beat down. The WCG athlete picked up her wounded counterpart and hit a snap DDT, before rolling her into the corner of the ring. With Justice bent over she hit a top rope double stomp as Jeanette rolled across the canvas in agony. But Redding wasn't quite done, as she ascended the turnbuckle again. Justice staggered to her feet trying to regain composure but it was too late. “EYE OF THE STORM!” Yelled Henry Walsh as Redding leapt off with a jumping flip neckbreaker for the three count.
WINNER, AND THROUGH TO THE CALIFORNIA CUP FINAL: RACHEL REDDING
[/align]
After the match Redding rolled her opponent out the ring with her foot, before retrieving the pen from the underneath the turnbuckle. She then wrote in large letters in the canvas;
[align=center]GCW
HPW BCW[/align]
As she stood in the centre of the ring Josh Kennedy’s music began to play. The BCW man stood on top of the entrance ramp clapping sarcastically at the smiling Redding, who pointed to the canvas, and then at him. Kennedy ran his fingers through his hair and smiled, as they stared one another down.

[align=center] BROKEN MCLAUGHLIN vs. KENNY SEX
To a fairly positive reaction, Kenny Sex came out to "Sexy Back"; he blew kisses at a couple of very large women in the front row before entering the ring. Broken McLaughlin received a more mixed response from the crowd but he paid them no mind, immediately setting on Kenny with a series of closed fist punches as the referee started the match. Kenny fought back, whipping Broken into the ropes and then connecting with a rolling lariat on the return. He kept the momentum going with the Sexiest Elbow Ever (top rope elbow drop) but when he tried the Ball Claw (testicular claw), Broken just laughed maniacally. He sent Kenny into the corner, struck him with a Triple Thick Milkshake Superkick and then lifted him up for the McDouble (F5 into a double gutbuster). Sex managed to counter this into a swinging snap DDT for a near fall. He started up the Ultimate Thrill Ride (dry humps to a downed opponent) but the clown socked him with a forearm to the nose. He followed with a sleeper slam to the rising Kenny, and then clamped in the Unhappy Meal (Camel Clutch with double fish hook). Kenny held on for as he could but eventually tapped out. This didn't stop the crazed McLaughlin who continued to stretch Kenny despite the referee's best efforts to tear him away.
WINNER: BROKEN MCLAUGHLIN[/align]
Suddenly Finch Maruta came sliding into the ring to strike a laughing Broken McLaughlin with a spinning heel kick. The clown jumped back up into a running high knee but as Finch turned to check on his friend Kenny, Daniel Corvin appeared out of nowhere to drop him with a spinning backfist. The Prince of Darkness nailed Finch with The Glorifier (spinning double underhook facebuster) as The Nomad joined the ring with his empty bottle of beer in hand. He swung wildly and Corvin ducked once, but then got caught on the second as glass shattered everywhere. The Nomad hit the rising Kenny Sex with a heart punch that sent him falling through the ropes. Arcane walked out onto the stage with the Television Championship on his shoulder and demanded their attention. He said he was tired of watching each of their matches descend into anarchy each week but he couldn't deny their courage and resilience. That's why the five of them will ALL compete for the Television Championship at Blockbuster Night. This will not only decide a new champion but also settle who is the baddest motherfucker of them all.

[align=center] WULF ERIKSON & TOM LOBIONDO vs. DYLAN STYLES & RYAN ZANE
Wulf Erikson and Tom LoBiondo came out first followed by HPW Champion, Dylan Styles. Dylan waited on the ring apron for his partner. As time went on it was evident that Ryan Zane was not going to appear and the referee ordered Dylan to compete by himself. Dylan protested saying it wasn't right to face two men on his own but there was little sympathy from the official who called for the bell. LoBiondo wasted no time putting the boot into the champion, pounding him around the ring. He hit the champion with a double underhook powerbomb, before tagging in Wulf to finish things off. Lobiondo left the ring, indicating that the match was all his. Wulf picked up the helpless Dylan who pleaded for no more punishment. He looked around at the crowd for a response, but they wanted more. They wanted justice. He teased them with a shake of the head before nailing him with AT WIT’S END - Lightning Spiral. He made the cover as the crowd counted along ONE! TWO! THREE!
WINNERS: WULF ERIKSON & TOM LOBIONDO[/align]
After the match Arcane came out to the ring one final time to remind everyone that under HPW rules any pinfall on a champion resulted in a title shot, and as such next week, at Blockbuster Night, Wulf Erikson would face Dylan Styles one on one for the HPW Championship. Furthermore, to ensure that there would no outside interference it would be a lumberjack match. The crowd cheered as Wulf celebrated upon the turnbuckles as the show came to a close.
