SEGMENT / DAVE WILSON INDUCTION
Outcome: Prior to Dave Wilson being inducted, Pierce Kingsley is asked about the match he has next. The World Champion seems to be confident of getting through the team of Gabriel Hunter and Kry. He also sent a chilling warning to Mercer that his dream of becoming World champion will never come true, especially in the Corridor Of Hell.
Dave Wilson is inducted next into the Hall Of Fame. This time we had the returning CJA who inducted his old rival. It was good to see him and despite being a heel most of his career, Dave Wilson is shown respect prior to making his speech. It's been a good career for him here in TXW but now it's over, at least when it came to his in ring career. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• FIFTH MATCH Pierce Kingsley vs Kry & Gabriel Hunter [Preceding Dave Wilson's Induction] Stipulation: Handicap Match Result: The World Champion was in action next as he took on his own handicap match. Unlike earlier where Mercer had it easy, Kry and Gabriel actually worked together to bring the fight to Kingsley. The champion shared most of the time in the ring with Gabriel Hunter, a man who is struggling to win a match recently. He did finally prove himself on TXW legends, yet hasn't done anything of note in front of the Toronto crowd in a while. Hunter has a lot of strength, which he displays in this match as even for a smaller man. Kingsley did in the end show why he is the champion as he got the better of Hunter, then dispatched of Kry who tried to get into the ring. Gabriel fights it best he can as the momentum swings, yet Kingsley is still able to win this match with the Say10 Spike [Pop Up Double Knee Breaker]. A disappointing end for Gabriel, yet the expected one. After the match ended Johnny Mercer made his way out. He went face to face with the champion and even got a microphone. Justice will begin and the World championship will change hands, Mercer declares. Kingsley said simply that it will be dead just like Mercer's career as he knows without the world title, he hasn't fullfilled his goals. It's the chip on his shoulder that will never go away. That did seem to bother Mercer as the two men soon end up in a fist fight, leading security to seperate them to avoid the Genesis main event happening tonight.

SEGMENT / CRYSTAL SWEET INDUCTION
Outcome: Dean Creed is in the VIP box at the TXW arena with his lovely wife Madison. His legacy title is over his shoulder as he sat there while Jenny Gold is there to ask the couple a question about the main event. Creed is asked if he expects Matthew Taylor to get through the guantlet match later to set up a Legacy championship match between the two. The One Man Army smirks and says if Taylor really is that good, really is man of 2018, he will win the match. However he says that even if he does, the championship won't be his again at Genesis. Madison has her say and shows Creed's influence by stating she can't wait to see Matthew Taylor's face when he sees who his opponents are, most he may or may not have met before. Switching away from this were over to Crystal Sweet's induction as the Legendary Baddest Bitch gets to take her place in the Hall Of Fame. She is inducted by Tyrone Marshall, who wore his ring gear to do so. It made sense as he is competing in a match next. After Crystal made her speech and seemed happy to have this moment to say goodbye. Crystal Sweet now joins the list of legends in TXW 2.0. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PRE MAIN EVENT Raine vs Tyrone Marshall [Preceding Crystal Sweet's Induction] Stipulation: Singles Result: Tyrone returned to Dark Oasis next as he took on Raine. There is a lot of bad blood here as Tyrone aided Ashley in ruining the wedding between Andrew Parker and Raine. The red head's blood must be boiling at the thought of her wedding day. Even her win last show was tainted by the Rebel and the Bull. She sure as hell wasn't afraid of the multiple time World Champion, proving why she held the Legacy title for so long. She is a tough competitor and Tyrone struggled to deal with her, even with her being a lot smaller. She was just so vicious and was able to move out the way of his heavy attacks.
The Bull did fight back as he did manage to get one of those heavy strikes in. Tyrone then went to the corner to signal for the finish. The snapper is about to be hit and everyone knew it in the arena. Suddenly on screen we see Andrew Parker, who wasn't ringside despite the fact Ashley Ricci was. It was strange and now we know why. Parker has Kay Ricci tied to a chair and is holding a baton near her head. This angered Ashley and distracted Tyrone. Ashley rushed to the back while Tyrone turned around only to be hit with Sweet Sacrifice then quickly pinned before he even knew what had happened. The Rebel turns back when she heard the bell ring, then sees how the plan had worked for the Justice Bringers. The screen went to static as Raine exited through the crowd. The Bull is not pleased with himself as that moment of distraction cost him dearly. At last the Justice Bringers can say they got one over the Rebel and the Bull.

SEGMENT
Outcome: Tyrone and Ashley are with Kay, who was freed backstage. She apologised for being used as bait like that. Ashley took it easy on her sister after all she has been through recently, while Tyrone is just pissed he lost on his return to Dark Oasis. He admits he hasn't shaken off his loss last year to Pierce Kingsley. It's obviously an effect he can have on you as Creed was never the same after his experience with Kingsley. Tyrone doesn't want to become someone who is never seen as the main event guy and vows to rip apart the Justice Bringers, starting at Genesis when they take the tag team titles. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• MAIN EVENT Matthew Taylor vs Five opponents chosen by Dean Creed Stipulation: Gauntlet Match Result: Main event time as Matthew Taylor has to run the gauntlet against FIVE other opponents. Win and he gets a shot at the Legacy title at Genesis. Up first in the match is Vincent Underwood, who already competed tonight, if that's what you want to call it. The Bastard is eager to do some damage in the main event as he does give Taylor a fight to kick things off. Taylor however is just on another level and manages to get past the Bastard in just over three minutes. One down , four to go. Next to step up is a very angry looking Gabriel Hunter, who lost to Pierce Kingsley earlier in the night. This man looks unhinged as he looks to try get back to winning ways. He aggressively attacks Taylor once in the ring with him as he attempts to slow him down. Gabriel lasted longer than his former Kingdom buddy Vincent but in the end he was hit the Taylor-Made [Curb Stomp] also. It meant he is soon eliminated from this gauntlet match too.
At one point Taylor points up at the VIP box knowing Creed is up there watching all of this. You'd think he isn't that pleased so far as Taylor has got past two of the five. He might just do this, he might just earn the chance to be the champion. Next to step up is Tyler York, CO GM of this show. He's a part time wrestler so he seemed fine with taking a shot at Matthew Taylor, even if his record isn't great. He isn't like the rest of the roster who hit the gym every day. It showed as Taylor is actually bigger than him and is able to fend off his attacks. Tyler becomes yet another 'Kingdom' member to lose as he is finished off quick with another Taylor-Made.
The fourth person in this Gauntlet match is a surprise as it's Madison, Dean Creed's wife. She came out with all smiles and energy as she is a livewire. Madison got in the ring and offered a handshake with that sweet smile of hers. Taylor went to shake her hand but she suddenly kicks him across the gut and then starts hitting him with forearms. Is the sweet side always just for show? She is a Wright after all, they more often than not had twisted personalities.
Despite Madison showing a new side to herself, she gets booted in the stomach at one stage by Taylor, flooring her. Then he is quick on his feet as he goes up top, hits the Breathless aka Phoenix Splash and eliminates Madison from the gauntlet match. He's going to do it, he is now so close.
The last person is Mike Malice, but he had a chair in hand. He gets in then hits Taylor with it, causing an instant disqualification. The Dastardly one is showing signs of his old self as he batters Taylor with the chair , not caring about the outcome. Creed appears at ringside and it seems he left the VIP box some time ago. Malice hands the chair to Creed who then hits Taylor more with it. Diane comes out to tell them to stop but they just continue into Taylor is a bloody mess. The show then ends with the One Man Army holding up his championship as he now has a new challenger, but what condition will he be in after this? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
