The HAW theme kicked off the show.

Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We are in Seattle, Washington, and it’s HAW End of the Trail, the culmination of a year’s worth of action! I’m Edward Findleton, and tonight I’m being joined on commentary by VCW’s color commentator, the former Eve Moseley, but…

Eve: After my recent marriage, Eve Solace. Edward, it’s an honor to be here with you tonight, filling in for your usual partner, THE Casey Gains, who’s set to have a fierce battle against Pastor James.

Edward Findleton: And I hope Casey shuts him up for good! But in addition, we’ve got The Visitors, Glenny Pax, Cyberhemoth, and The Insomniac Kenneth Cobb vs Douglas Brunswick, Jack Trailor, and Danny Miller. Mayor Briggs defends the National Championship against El Termitas, Etu Nu Iota will try and defeat Summer Fun for the Women’s Tag Team Titles, while in the men’s division, RJ Bu and Niko Green challenge the Navigators!

Eve Solace: Take a breath Edward, I’ll finish it for you, because perhaps the match I’m just so intrigued to see what will happen…The Samurais of Power need to stop the sale of the Bra of Miss Lifeguard, in possession of Club Corruption and Jet Black! I can see the bra hanging above the ring right now, but I also see above the ring, the steel cage that will lock in Sekino The Stunt Pilot and Kherti Bhakta! And if the Women’s World Championship wasn’t enough, we’ve got the Men’s World Championship, Franco Mancini vs Phoenix!

Edward Findleton:  It’s alot happening tonight, but we’re kicking the show off with a three on three match, The MuscleGang vs Mitchell Row, Scarred Badger, and Georgios Stannellis!

The MuscleGang’s music hit first, and out came Crash MuscleGate, Frederic St. Pierre, and Lovable Liam. Their opponents followed next, Mitchell Row, Scarred Badger, and Georgios Stannellis, as Kitty Kayleen accompanied them.

The six man tag was competitive, with all six wrestlers showing strong offense and why they became professional wrestlers. Mitchell Row was also very vocal, loudly supporting Georgios Stanellis and can be heard shouting advice while Stanellis wrestled. 

The match eventually started to go off the rails, with the non-legal wrestlers battling outside the ring. 

Edward Findleton: Watch out Eve, sometimes these guys go through the announce tables!

Eve Solace:  I’ll keep one eye out here Edward, but in the ring it looks like it’s a rematch from last week, Georgios and Crash!

Georgios had Crash on the run, but in desperation, Crash hit the Dropkick. Both men were down, and seeing the downed Stanellis, Scarred Badger got onto the apron, his arm out reaching for a tag. Georgios was crawling over, trying to reach Badger, but at the last moment, Liam grabbed Scarred Badger’s leg and yanked him off the apron. Crash had recovered enough to get over to Stanellis, get onto his back and lock in Physical Tear-apy, a Camel Clutch. Stanellis tried to hold on, but after a few moments tapped out after 11:25.

Edward Findleton: The MuscleGang wins! Georgios Stanellis taps out!

Eve Solace: An impressive display from all the competitors tonight, but the ring veterans manage to stop the rookie.

As the MuscleGang celebrated, Kitty went to check on Georgios, making sure he was ok. Row quickly rushed into the ring as well, checking on the well-being of Georgios. As the MuscleGang exited, so did their opponents, as Row scooped Stanellis up into his arms, carrying him up the ramp, with Kitty by his side and Scarred Badger limping a distance behind.

Edward Findleton: A great match to kick off the show, but the action continues next in the HAW National Championship match!

El Termitas II made his entrance, followed by the champion, Mayor Briggs with Bigg Pimpin’ Alex.

Edward Findleton: Mayor Briggs, finally showing up to an HAW show.

Eve Solace:  And he has Alex with him. It’s confusing to a lot of people, but it makes sense, in Alex’s wrestling career, he was willing to do anything to achieve his goal. Mayor Briggs has the exact same mindset, so El Termitas may need to watch out.

The match began, and El Termitas II seemed to be very cautious, always looking back towards Alex and expecting Briggs to pull some tricks. The match was rather clean, and El Termitas II used his aerial attacks to get the upper hand. Termitas was in complete control, but seemed to still be worried about Bigg Pimpin’ Alex. Termitas decided to do a springboard somersault plancha to Alex outside the ring, Termitas continued to attack Alex, until he was down and out. El Termitas II went back into the ring and over to Briggs, but took one last look at Alex outside the ring. The final distraction allowed Briggs to grab the legs of Termitas and roll him up. Termitas was too surprised and unable to kick out, and Mayor Briggs defended his title in 7:21.

Edward Findleton: Mayor Briggs wins with no trickery involved.

Eve Solace: I think El Termitas II may have gotten into his own head too much. You need to expect something to happen, but Briggs was the opponent he needed the majority of his focus on, not Alex.

As the previous match’s competitors left, the lights in the arena went off. A green light shined on the stage, as a mysterious fog spread across the stage. Seemingly emerging from the ground were two figures wearing gas masks. As they stood up fully, the lights came back on, flashing rainbow colors as the figures took the mask off to reveal Summer Fun.

Edward Findleton: I think this means it’s time for the HAW Women’s Tag Team Championship match, as Daisy Fields and Maple Blossom make their 100% legal entrance here in Seattle!

Eta Nu Iota followed next, with Hannah Rivers leading Natasha York, and Isabella Dawson accompanying. Natasha looked tired, and Isabella Dawson was holding her stomach.

Eve Solace: I talked to these girls in the back before the show, and Hannah explained they are still fasting out of fear of Summer Fun poisoning their food. The last thing they had was lunch at the airport yesterday.

Edward Findleton: Isabella looks like she’s in discomfort but it’s a good thing she’s not wrestling

The match began, and while Summer Fun and Hannah Rivers looked to be in their form, Natasha York was slow and sluggish, missing moves and being on the defensive. Natasha tagged in Hannah, who tried to carry the load for her team, but Summer Fun was proving too much.

As Isabella tried to encourage Hannah, she looked into the crowd and in the front row, a vendor was selling popcorn, giving it to a fan. Isabella couldn’t take it anymore, and stole the popcorn from the fan, and she started to devour the popcorn. Natasha noticed this as well, and jumped down to eat the popcorn.

Hannah finally landed a solid DDT on Daisy Fields, but saw the commotion outside the ring. She rolled out, furious at Isabella and Natasha. Hannah took the popcorn bag and threw it in their faces. Isabella and Natasha were in shock, covered in the popcorn. The two nodded to each other and walked away, leaving Hannah alone.

Edward Findleton: Uh oh, there might be trouble for these sorority sisters!

Hannah was frustrated but got back into the ring, only to get grabbed by Daisy Fields. Daisy grabbed her for a bear hug, and Maple Blossom hit a flying crossbody on Hannah. Daisy covered Hannah Rivers, and got the victory in 6:12.

Eve Solace: Well Edward, it looks like the starving themselves didn’t work out.

Edward Findleton: Not only that, that poor fan is out ten dollars! But honestly, who cares? Now before our next match, Eve, you’ve got some exciting out of company news?

Eve Solace: That’s right! First across the pond in Honor Pro Wrestling, Fun Fight Machine defeated Moto Shoji! And in our developmental company, VCW, Team Sentinel, Billy Taylor and Wesley Wagner, successfully defended their titles against The Lumberjacks, Boom Boom and Thundercrack. In addition, Harvey Allison retained against Jenson West, but Bethany Watts lost the title to Ivy Clarke!

Edward Findleton: Thank you Eve! But I now apologize on behalf of HAW for this next match-

Eve Solace: Oh! The Bra of Miss Lifeguard is being lowered! This has been the match I was most looking forward to!

Edward Findleton: …That this next match isn’t the main event, I was going to say! 

Club Corruption walked out, along with Jet Black. As Jet Black and Ninja set up a ladder in the ring, Night Prince grabbed a microphone.

Night Prince: That’s right! The sale is about to commence! And once that’s done, the whole world will be in trouble, and there’s nobody that can stop us! Hahaha!

On cue, the Samurais of Power music played, and out came Sensei Onaga, Trickshot, and Ozzie Reagan, rushing to the ring. Referee Dennis Thompson joined them, and the bell rang to start a ladder match.

The match was done tornado style, with all men fighting at once. The teamwork of the Samurais of Power seemed to really shine through, as they kept getting close to retrieving the bra. Ozzie Reagan came close to retrieving it, but Ninja stopped him, and applied a pair of handcuffs attaching to Ozzie and himself. Ozzie was able to beat Ninja up, but the dead weight of Ninja prevented him from climbing the ladder.

This opened the door for Jet Black, who climbed the ladder, only to be met by Trickshot at the last moment. The two exchanged punches at the top, and Trickshot grabbed Jet Black’s head.

Edward Findleton: This doesn’t look good for Jet Black…

Eve Solace: Or even Trickshot!

Trickshot lifted Jet Black up, and from the top of the ladder, delivered the Northern Lights Driver to the mat.

Edward Findleton: Jet Black, the man addicted to pain, might have just felt too much! He’s out of it!

Eve Solace: Trickshot is too! He sacrificed himself to eliminate the toughest member of the opposition!

As Ninja started to fight Ozzie again, Onaga and Night Prince met in the ring, trading slams. Night Prince started to get the upper hand against and climbed the ladder. The bra was within reach, but he looked down at Sensei Onaga who was starting to regain his composure. Night Prince decided to go for his finisher, and jumped off for a Diving Meteora. At the last second, Sensei Onaga sidestepped, and Night Prince went knee first into the mat. Onaga wasted no time, climbed the ladder, and grabbed the bra to win the match in 11:34.

Edward Findleton: They did it!

Ninja unhooked himself to go help Night Prince, and Ozzie went to help Onaga and Trickshot. As the Samurais of Power celebrated, Kyle Higgins came out with Mimic, who was covering his body in a towel with a Red Cross on it, and wearing a wig.

Edward Findleton: And here comes Kyle Higgins and…That’s Miss Lifeguard!

Eve Solace: Wow! Her first appearance in 11 years! 

Kyle Higgins shook hands with each of the Samurais of Power. Onaga bowed to Mimic, and handed the bra over. The five all posed for the crowd, happy with their victory.

Edward Findleton: What a match, and thank you Samurais of Power for saving the world. 

Eve Solace: Not to cut you off Edward, but I’m just receiving word from Freezerman himself. HAW has offered one final contract to the Navigators. As of now, the Navigators have not accepted it. If we hear anymore, we’ll let you know!

Edward Findleton: That match is coming up shortly but we’ve got a match up next that I’m personally looking forward to!

THE Casey Gain’s theme started, and he came out in his classic yellow trunks. As he got to ringside, he gave a thumbs up to Edward. Shortly later, Pastor James came out, accompanied by Dixie Boyle.

Edward Findleton: I hope Casey shuts up Pastor James, I really do.

Eve Solace: It’s going to be tough. THE Casey Gains hasn’t wrestled in some time, but does have the advantage over James in experience.

Edward Findleton: Oh no, tell me this isn’t happening…

Dixie Boyle walked over to the commentator booth, grabbed a headset, and sat down.

Dixie Boyle: Hey y’all! 

Edward Findleton: …Hi Dixie. How are you?

Dixie Boyle: I’m really good Edward! I can’t wait to see my dad beat Mr. Gains!

As the match began, Pastor James was very aggressive, interested in inflicting as much damage to Casey as possible.

Dixie Boyle: Look how good he’s doing! I’m just so proud to call him my dad!

Edward Findleton: Did that paternity test ever come back yet?

Dixie Boyle: No, he said it’s still pending.

Edward Findleton: It’s been over a month!

Needing an opening, Casey resorted to an eye gouge, and started using every cheating technique in the book. He eventually got James rolled up, grabbing his pants, but James kicked out at the last moment. Casey then tried a second pin, putting his own feet on the ropes for leverage, but James managed to kick out again.

Edward Findleton: Oh! He almost had him!

Gains started to hit a few of his classic signature moves, until Pastor James reversed one, right into the Cobra Clutch Slam. James quickly covered Casey, and picked up the three count in 8:56.

Dixie squealed in joy and immediately threw her headset off, rushing into the ring to hug James. Pastor James still looked shaken up at almost losing a few times, and directed Dixie to leave with him. In the ring, Casey looked disappointed, and glanced over to Edward. Edward stood up and started clapping, and a small smile came across Casey’s face. He gave Edward a nod, and exited the ring.

Eve Solace: Well Edward, I’m sorry it wasn’t the result you were looking for, but Casey put up a great fight.

Edward Findleton: He did, and I think most of all, it sent a message to Pastor James, he can’t pick on us anymore!

Eve Solace: Well as we get ready for the tag team championship match, the latest word is the Navigators still haven’t signed their contract offer!

The music of RJ Bu started, who came out to the top of the stage. Niko Green’s played next, and they started their way down to the ring.

Ring Announcer Bradley Wallace: The challengers, from Santa Barbara, California and…Seattle, Washington! RJ Bu and Niko Green!

Edward Findleton: Green in his hometown tonight, and he’s got his parents in the front row!

As Green and Bu came came down, they clapped for Green, but as RJ Bu passed them, they gave a thumbs down and started to boo him.

Edward Findleton: This is a really complicated relationship between these partners. They really need to be on top to defeat The Navigators.

The champions made their entrance next, and as they got to the ring, Aiden North and Pete Arrow made it a point to approach Niko Green with hands extended for a shake. Green shook both of their hands and after finishing, RJ Bu extended his out as well, but was ignored.

With the match beginning, Niko Green started, and as time went on, refused to tag in RJ Bu. The fresh Navigators were able to take advantage of this, and slowly wore Green down. Bu held his hand out for a tag, and finally needing a rest, Green tagged in Bu.

RJ Bu ran into the ring, and was immediately felled with a clothesline. Green facepalmed, seemingly regretting having made the tag. Pete Arrow continued attacking Bu, keeping him grounded. Arrow looked over at Green and yelled “We wanted you as the challenge, not him!”

Arrow let off on his attack of RJ Bu, and RJ started to crawl towards Niko Green. Green held his hand out, and as RJ reached for the tag, Green pulled his hand away.

Edward Findleton: And there it is. I think all these months of frustration have built up to that.

RJ struggled to his feet, using the ropes as leverage. He stared at Green, before nodding.

RJ Bu: It’s ok bro. It’s ok, I understand. I deserve what’s about to happen to me.

RJ turned back towards Arrow and charged him, only to be met with a quick powerslam. Pete Arrow continued the assault on Bu, before tagging in North. Arrow hit the Powerbomb, and North hit a Shooting Star Press.

Edward Findleton: And that’s the match!

North went for the cover, but to his surprise, Green broke up the pin at the last second. North stood up in shock, and started to yell at Green. Green responded by grabbing North and hitting the Side Death Valley Driver.

Edward Findleton: Wait a minute! He’s fighting back!

Arrow rushed to the ring and brawled with Green, until Niko Green hit Pete Arrow with a Side Death Valley Driver as well. Green grabbed RJ Bu, and started to help him to his feet, while Aiden North was also coming to. Bu was out of it, but Green pointed him to North and gave instructions. Bu stumbled over, and blocked a punch from North, then delivered a Corkscrew Neckbreaker. RJ Bu covered Aiden North.

Edward Findleton: One, two, three! They did it! Bu and Green are the new tag team champions!

RJ Bu was in disbelief, as referee Tom Hunter handed the titles over. Bu looked at his title, and passed it to Green, pointing at him and clapping for him, indicating he earned them. Niko Green looked at both titles, shook his head, and handed the title back to RJ Bu. Green then grabbed Bu and hugged him.

Edward Findleton: Accomplished singles wrestlers couldn’t beat the Navigators, identical twins couldn’t beat them, a legendary tag team couldn’t beat them, but tonight, the power of two friends has defeated The Navigators, as RJ Bu and Niko Green are the champions!

As they left the ring, Green went to his parents to celebrate, and now his mother hugged RJ and his father shook his hand.

Edward Findleton: What a great moment, and what a great match.

Eve Solace: And Edward, I’m getting word from Freezerman…he has officially revoked the contract offer to the Navigators.

Edward Findleton: Those guys should have signed while they could. Good riddance, those titles are no longer held hostage!

Eve Solace: Switching gears, it’s time for a three vs three match, Visitors vs Trailor, Miller, and Brunswick, and tonight’s match will be elimination rules!

Jack Trailor’s theme started up, and there was the sound of a loud, honking horn. Driving into the side of the stage was a tour bus, driven by Jack Trailor, while Douglas Brunswick rode in the entry stairs. The bus stopped and Brunswick and Trailor exited, followed by Danny Miller. Moments later, multiple tourists departed the bus, with men and women taking pictures of the arena, tipping Danny Miller, and a few getting selfies next to a bus window with a dry bloodied hand print. Brunswick, Trailer, and Miller motioned for the tourists to follow them to the ring, and they happily did so, standing outside in their corner.

The lights in the arena went out, as The Visitors made their entrance. Glenny Pax not only had Cyberhemoth and “The Insomniac” Kenneth Cobb, a blank stare in his eyes, but tens of nameless Visitors behind him.

Edward Findleton: I’m not sure what the scarier army is, but the ringside is crowded with- Oh come on don’t take a picture of me from that angle!

Eve Solace: Oh, sure, I’ll sign an autograph but it’s the last one, I really need to call this match with Edward…

The match began with frequent tags, with nearly every possible combination of wrestlers getting some action. The first elimination happened when Kenneth Cobb locked in the Sleeper Hold on Local Legend Danny Miller, who tried to escape but ultimately passed out. Instead of letting go, Cobb kept the Sleeper in, as referee Tom Hunter told him to let go. One of the tourist had seen enough and went into the ring to try and help Miller, but was tackled by a Visitor.

At this point, all the tourists jumped into the ring, as did the Visitors, and a complete brawl broke out.

Edward Findleton: This is insanity! No one can even move in the ring it’s so crowded! Oh! A Visitor just threw a guy out!

Eve Solace: I missed it, I was watching that lady choke a Visitor with a fanny pack! 

The tourists and Visitors started to clear out, as the tourists grabbed Miller for safety, and took him to the bus, where it was reversed out of the arena, as the Visitors gave chase.

Edward Findleton: It’s down to Brunswick and Trailor vs Glenny, Cyberhemoth, and Cobb, and everyone is now gone from ringside!

Brunswick faced off against Cobb, offering some very solid wrestling, but Brunswick eventually put Cobb away with a Lifting Reverse DDT. Brunswick tagged to Trailor, who faced off against his former friend, Glenny Pax.

Trailer went on a complete offensive assault, and Glenny could hardly respond. Trailer was dominating, when Glenny fell to his knees, and started to plead with Jack Trailor again. Glenny seemed to be trying to appeal to Jack emotionally again, and opened his arms for a hug. Jack took a step back, thinking it over, before shaking his head no. With that, Jack Trailor connected with a Running Double Axe Handle, and pinned Glenny Pax to eliminate him.

The celebration for Trailor was very short lived however, as Cyberhemoth got into the ring and immediately delivered a Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker, pinning Jack Trailor.

Edward Findleton: It’s down to one on one! Brunswick vs Cyberhemoth!

Douglas Brunswick tried to use Cyberhemoth’s large size against him, going for quick, speedy attacks, but a lot of strikes seemed to have minimal effect on Cyberhemoth. The match changed when Cyberhemoth was able to reverse one of Brunswick’s attacks and slam him to the ground. After a few power moves, Cyberhemoth delivered the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker to Douglas Brunswick, and pinned him.

Edward Findleton: And the Visitors come out on top!

Eve Solace: Cyberhemoth has to be one of the scariest wrestlers around. Nothing seems to phase him, and he has so much power. Brunswick, Trailer, and Miller put up a good fight, but today it just wasn’t enough.

Edward Findleton: Well we’re glad all these tourists and Visitors and Cyberhemoths aren’t sticking around, because our next match is for the HAW World Championship, Phoenix vs Franco Mancini!

Franco Mancini’s music started, and he walked out, emotionless and ready. Phoenix entered next, revealing bruising around his forehead.

Eve Solace: This is the first time we’ve seen Phoenix today, and it looks like he’s still feeling wounds from the attack by Franco Mancini last week.

Edward Findleton: Franco has done everything he could to hurt Phoenix these past few weeks.

Referee Dennis Thompson rang the bell, and the match was underway. Both men were tentative, feeling their opponent out. Phoenix upper the tempo and took control, but Mancini reversed with some shots to the head. Mancini then hit the Pickpocket, a Reverse STO, minutes into the match. He went for the cover, but Phoenix kicked out.

Edward Findleton: That was almost the match right there!

Phoenix tried to muster strength to fight back, but Mancini suddenly hit Whacked Phoenix, a Throat Thrust.  Mancini went for a cover, but Phoenix kicked out again. The effects of the damage was clearly hurting Phoenix, but he managed to fight back and get Franco on the run. Phoenix had a few near falls, and got Franco Mancini in position for the Phoenix Splash. As Phoenix jumped, Mancini put his knees up, and Phoenix collided hard with them.

Mancini was limping and in pain, but managed to grab Phoenix, get him to his feet, and hit the Pickpocket a second time. Franco covered Phoenix, and this time, got the three count.

Edward Findleton: And there it is, Franco Mancini is a five time HAW World Champion!

Eve Solace: It took three of his best moves, and even some sneak attacks from the weaks prior, but Franco has come out on top.

A smile of arrogance broke out on Franco’s face as he grabbed the HAW World Championship and held it high, not caring about the crowd’s reaction or his fallen opponent. A very disappointed Phoenix had recovered enough to roll out of the ring and exit, looking at the new champion in dismay.

Edward Findleton: A historic night here in HAW, but it’s now time for our main event. In moments, that steel cage above the ring will be lowered, and Sekino The Stunt Pilot will defend the Women’s Championship against Kherti Bhakta!

The steel cage slowly began to lower to the ring, locking into place. Sekino The Stunt PIlot then made her entrance, as she got closer to the ring, she inspected the cage, and started laughing, as she pointed towards a hole in the side.

Edward Findleton: Oh God…that’s the same cage that ended Athena’s career…with Sekino sticking Athena’s head in the hole and then knocking the cage free so she went neckfirst to the ground.

Sekino got into the ring and poked her head through the hole, looking up the entrance ramp awaiting her opponent.

New music started to play, and a small wall of water started to fall from the top of the cage, while a projection of a white tiger running was placed on the waterwall. The white tiger turned its head, opened its mouth, and Kherti Bhakta burst through the waterwall, emerging from the mouth in white attire with black tiger stripes.

Eve Solace: In Indian culture, the white tiger symbolizes feminine power, and the ability to face evil without fear. Kherti Bhakta looks more ready than ever.

As Kherti came into the ring with pure determination, Sekino still had a cocky smirk, that only disappeared when referee Brenda Moses rang for the bell.

Both women immediately charged each other, neither caring about the state of their bodies, only fueled by rage and the ability to hurt the other. Eventually, Kherti managed to start wearing Sekino down, blocking more and more of her offense and countering with attacks of her own.

Edward Findleton: Kherti Bhakta is in the zone, I don’t think we’ve ever seen this side of her before!

At that moment, Kherti Bhakta hit the Straight Jacket German Suplex. She went for the cover, but Sekino barely kicked out.

Eve Solace: I thought we had a new champion! Impressive kick out by Sekino!

Sekino had kicked out, but was still on the ground. Kherti started to climb the cage, and made it to the top. She looked down to the outside of the ring, then back into the ring at Sekino.

Edward Findleton: Kherti just climb out of the cage, you can win the championship and achieve your goal!

Eve Solace: I think she’s made her mind up. She’s not climbing to win.

Kherti lined The Stunt Pilot up and dove off with a flying elbow drop, but Sekino rolled out of the way. Sekino had a second wind, and immediately starting an onslaught on the stunned Kherti, pulling hair, going for eyes, and at one point seemingly biting Kherti. Sekino’s smirk had now changed to anger, as she methodically started to pick Kherti apart.

It was now Kherti who was unresponsive. Sekino looked to Kherti and then to the hole in the cage and grinned. She picked Kherti Bhakta up, and took her over to the cage hole, rubbing Kherti’s head up against the grating and cutting it open as it reached the hole, then shoved her head in. Kherti struggled, but Sekino took her arms and pushed them through, cutting her forearms as well, and trapping her.

Sekino was now grinning as Kherti’s blood was now dripping down her arms and face and staining her white attire. Sekino took a few steps back, looking to line Kherti up.

Edward Findleton: No…she can’t do this again, can she?

Eve Solace: Wait! It’s Penny!

Penny “The Hammer” Downs came running down to the ring. Sekino burst out laughing, which gave Kherti enough time to free her head and one arm from the hole, but was too exhausted to remove her right arm. Sekino smirked, not worried at all about the development. Penny stared Sekino down, then reached under the ring apron, and pulled out a sledgehammer. 

Penny held the sledgehammer up to Kherti Bhakta's hanging hand, who grasped it, pulling it into the ring. Sekino’s grin faded, and her eyes went wide in fear for the first time. Kherti stared her down, and charged Sekino, landing blow after blow with the sledgehammer to the Stunt Pilot’s body.

Edward Findleton: Every bit of rage in Kherti's body is coming out now!

Kherti ffinally dropped the hammer, but picked Sekino right up and hit a Straight Jacket German Suplex.

Edward Findleton: She hits it! And…she does a second Straight Jacket German Suplex! And…now a third! And a fourth! Four in a row! Four in a row! Sekino is in serious trouble!

The Stunt Pilot was in the middle of the ring, in tons of pain. She tried to reach for the sledgehammer, but Kherti picked it back up. Sekino then reached her hand up to Kherti Bhakta, as if pleading for help. Kherti wiped the blood from her forehead, raised the sledgehammer up, and with a primal scream, swung it down to Sekino’s ribs. Finally satisfied, Kherti went for the cover.

Edward Findleton: One! Two! Three! The White Tiger defeats The Stunt Pilot!

As the cage rose, Penny came into the ring and gave the title of Kherti. Kherti looked at the title, then at Sekino, and finally to the hole in the rising cage, as she began to cry. Kherti stood up and gave a quick raise of the title, before hugging Penny, her head buried in her shoulder.

Eve Solace: Kherti is the new champion, but tonight, I think it was secondary. Avenging her friend was her goal. 

Edward Findleton: A lot of emotions for Kherti Bhakta, but she has to know Athena is proud of her.

Medical staff helped Sekino to the back, and Kherti watched her go. With Sekino gone, Kherti seemed to regain her composure, climbed the ropes, and held the title up in triumph.

Edward Findleton: What a way to cap off the night, and the end of the HAW Season! We’ll see you back next year, on behalf of Eve and myself, thank you, and we hope you enjoyed End of the Trail!
