Before the Main Event begins, fans are caught up to speed with a video package, detailing Gaia Galanos' surprise locker room attack on her partner, Night Train Ayano, and the latter's subsequent retaliation at the end of Winds of Change, via microphone shots to the head. It is with Night Train Ayano's defiant cry of 'next time' that the feed transitions back to ringside, for what will undoubtedly be a heated grudge match!
Main Event: Night Train Ayano vs. Gaia Galanos
Once Gaia Galanos and Night Train are both in the ring, the referee calls for the bell. Gaia smirks and moves in toward Night Train, looking to take her time finding an opening. Unfortunately, that isn’t how it goes down as Night Train charges toward Gaia unexpectedly and catches her with a Lou Thesz Press! Night Train immediately begins raining down the punches as the crowd is fully behind her while counting the punches. Eventually Gaia is able to shove her off, but there was clearly damage done as she pushes herself to her feet only eat a spinning heel kick that ground Gaia once again. Night Train immediately runs the ropes and hits a flipping senton on her grounded opponent. Galanos rolls out as Night Train gets up and tells her to get back in.
Gaia, on the other hand, has other ideas as she looks in toward her opponent and walks around the ring. The referee gets to a 4-count before Gaia tells him to back Night Train off, allowing her to roll in. Night Train and Gaia meet in the center once again, and Gaia is able to get Night Train in a neck-and-collar tie-up. Good for Gaia, bad for Night Train as Gaia transitions into a rear waistlock and looks to maybe German Suplex Night Train, but Night Train blocks and grabs Gaia in a cravate lock before leaping up and coming back down to snap Gaia over with a snapmare-like move.
Gaia gets back up immediately, but is clearly frustrated as she finds that Night Train was waiting for her to get up already as she lands a basement dropkick to Gaia’s face, dropping her once again. Night Train doesn’t let up, she just transitions right into running the ropes and executing a handspring against the ropes in time for Gaia to get up and pursue only to eat a back elbow for her troubles, and the crowd is in a frenzy! So is Night Train as she postures a little bit, waiting for Gaia to rise. She does the Thriller dance and catches a right-handed thrust to the face, staggering Gaia heavily! Night Train is looking to put an end to the match early as she goes for her Stunner, Gaia shoves her chest first into the ropes to avoid it. On her rebound backwards, Night Train is caught off-guard by a perfect snap release German Suplex! The crowd groans as Gaia painstakingly pushes herself back with a grin on her face.
As Night Train is pushing herself back to her feet, Gaia assists her just enough to send her shoulder first into the turnbuckle post! Gaia uses the waistband of Night Train’s ring gear to pull her closer and lock in a waist lock, clearly looking to suplex her again. Night Train has other plans as she checks Gaia with a back elbow to the temple, stopping her in her tracks. Gaia finally gets her bearings straight and throws Night Train over her head. Unfortunately, Night Train is tricking so she flips through and lands on her feet before front dropkicking Gaia in the back, sending her through the middle rope!
Night Train postures to the crowd before running the ropes again. As the crowd’s volume rises, Night Train comes flying over the top rope to wipe Gaia out with a Corkscrew Suicide Dive! The crowd is in awe as Gaia impacts the barricade. Gaia uses the barricade to keep herself standing as she attempts to grab Night Train, but the attempt is slap away and gives Night Train an attack of opportunity with a spinning backfist! The whole crowd is in shock as Gaia seems to be out on her feet because of the spinning backfist! The only thing keeping her on her feet was the barricade. This makes it easier for Night Train to roll Gaia into the ring and pursue her.
When Galanos rolls in, she immediately pushes herself back to her feet in time to Night Train flying out of a springboard and into a seated senton right on top of her! The referee is in the perfect position as he drops for the count!
ONE…
TWO…
THR-NO! Gaia is able to kick out just in time. It’s pretty evident by the look of shock on Galanos’ face that she wasn’t expecting this kind of resistance from the Ayano Clan member. Night Train, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, picks Gaia up only to receive a headbutt for her troubles, rocking the smaller competitor and sending her stumbling backwards. Gaia clearly sees this as her opening, as she shoots in on Night Train before hitting a beautiful Exploder Suplex, giving Gaia some breathing room!
Gaia is the first back to her feet. She sizes up Night Train and goes for a Roundhouse, but Night Train is able to duck underneath and behind Gaia. Gaia turns around to catch a knife-edge chop across the chest, lighting her up and causing the crowd to “woo!” Another chop backs Gaia up a bit more, but Night Train forgets about one thing: the viciousness of Gaia’s European Uppercut! And, it reminds everyone, specifically Night Train, when Gaia throws it because the power of the Uppercut sends Night Train to the mat hard!
This time Gaia is looking to end this one quickly as she runs the ropes and goes for her patented running knee strike to put Night Train away, but Night Train uses some fly dance moves to evade the attempt and catch Gaia with a hurricanrana! Gaia immediately rolls back to her feet and charges at Night Train! Bad idea because she eats a Roundhouse that stuns her! The Roundhouse is quickly followed up by a spinning sidekick that grounds Galanos and allows Night Train to run the ropes once more and hit a seated Gaia with a basement flying forearm! Night Train scrambles for the pinfall attempt once more!
ONE…
TWO…
Gaia gets a foot on the ropes, putting that great ring awareness on display! At this point, Night Train is starting to show a little frustration about not being able to put Gaia Galanos away. She looks out toward the crowd and suddenly gets pumped up again as they’re chanting “NIGHT TRAIN!” repeatedly. She smiles that goofy smile of hers and helps her former tag team partner to her feet. Unfortunately, Gaia comes up ready, grabs Night Train’s arm, twists it into a Hammerlock before spinning the setup into the Charybdis Lariat, nearly decapitating Night Train Ayano! Gaia just falls over Night Train for the pinfall attempt!
ONE…
TWO…
NOPE! Night Train has enough juice to kick out, and Gaia is clearly bothered by this because she wasn’t expecting such a fight to be put up by her former partner. Gaia stays on her though as she throws Night Train to the ropes. On the rebound, Gaia catches her former partner with a belly-to-belly suplex, buying her some time once more. Gaia sits up and takes a breather as she looks around at the crowd. Her exhausted expression abruptly transforms into one of frustration as she pushes herself back to her feet. She grabs Night Train by the air and shouts in her face before headbutting her, rocking the smaller woman to her very core. Gaia then hits her with a sickening European Uppercut which has a similar impact. Gaia grabs her dazed opponent and sets her up in a Gut-Wrench hold. When she pulls her over to hit the Gut-Wrench Suplex; however, Night Train lands on her feet and allows Gaia to just fall to the mat. Meanwhile, Night Train rebounds off of the ropes and attempts to hit Gaia with a running boot, but Gaia moves out of the way, kicks Night Train in the gut and sets her up for the Brainbuster!
She lifts her, but Night Train is able to knee Gaia in the head enough times to drop back onto her feet! Night Train uses Gaia’s arm to spin out of the front facelock and hit her Train Wreck Stunner out of nowhere! Night Train attempts to pin Gaia, but either Gaia is conscious enough to roll herself out of the ring or the impact of the move sent her rolling out! Night Train clutches her cheeks in a display of disappointment.
Gaia very slowly gets to her feet, allowing Night Train to size her up and springboard out of the ring at her! Gaia reverses it into a Fujiwara Armbar!? This sends Night Train face first to the mat outside of the ring with a loud thud that causes the crowd to groan! Despite being outside of the ring, Gaia tears back on that arm and arches as hard as she can to make sure to cause maximum damage as the referee gets to a 5-count before Gaia feels there has been sufficient damage dealt out. She pulls Night Train to her feet by that same arm and when Night Train attempts to fight back, Gaia just yanks on it. In full control now, Gaia rolls Night Train back into the ring and follows her in.
Night Train gets back to her feet, clutching her pained arm. Unfortunately, this leaves her wide open to a Roundhouse Kick from Gaia. After mowing her down with the kick, Gaia drops into the cover, grinding the forearm into the face in the process. No leg hook though as the referee counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE?!?! NO! Night Train kicks out just in time, and Gaia can’t believe it. She’s beside herself as she argues a bit with the referee, telling him that was a three-count. He says differently which makes Gaia irate as she attempts to pin Night Train again hooking a leg, but still only gets a two-count. One more pin attempt is made by hooking both legs and Night Train kicks out on an early two-count. Gaia can’t believe Night Train has given up yet as she lays in a few closed fists to settle her down. Gaia helps her former partner to her feet, grabs her by the hair, and begins running her head into the nearest turnbuckle pad. Unfortunately, it seems to be having the adverse effect because Night Train suddenly starts coming alive! The crowd is behind her fully as Gaia tries slamming her head into the turnbuckle once more only for Night Train to stop herself and dish out another sick back elbow to Gaia’s face, staggering her! She administers one more for good measure causing Gaia to back off some! Night Train suddenly springboards out of the turnbuckle and catches Gaia with a variation of a Triangle Dropkick causing Gaia to roll across the ring!
She rolls so far that Gaia has to use the far turnbuckle to try to get herself up. Unfortunately for her, Night Train is quick to charge in and hit a running crossbody to Gaia while she’s seated in the turnbuckle! The crowd groans and cheers wildly as Night Train pulls Gaia out of the corner and goes for the pin attempt!
ONE…
TWO…
NO! Gaia rolls the pin attempt into a rollup pin attempt of her own!
ONE…
TWO…
Night Train kicks out this time and rolls Gaia into another variation of a pinfall attempt!
ONE…
TWO…
NOPE! Gaia uses her foot to clock Night Train in the face so she may escape the pinfall attempt! This gives Gaia some breathing room, but Night Train is pretty quick to get back to her feet. Unfortunately, she makes a HUGE mistake as she rushes in at Gaia again! Gaia was ready for her with a drop toe hold, leaving her wide open for the former World Champion to lock in the Galanos Clutch! Night Train has nowhere to go and is nearly in the center of the ring! She’s going to have no choice but to tap, but to Gaia’s surprise that hasn’t happened yet. She cranks back, getting impatient which gives Night Train the opportunity to shift her weight enough that the crank back actually helps Night Train roll close enough to the ropes so she could grab the bottom rope! The cheer of the crowd is deafening!! And, Gaia Galanos is beside herself!!
Not to be overtaken, Gaia quickly attempts to lock in the Sheba Devil Vise, but Night Train easily blocks the rather complicated submission move. This gives Night Train a prime opportunity to put some distance between herself and Gaia by running and springboarding off the ropes and hitting Gaia with a flying crossbody!
ONE…
TWO…
Gaia kicks out with authority and is immediately up and charging Night Train with a lariat! No one’s home though! When Gaia turns back around, Night Train goes for a Roundhouse, looking to take Gaia’s head off, but Galanos ducks underneath and pops back up to hit a Falchion out of thin air! The crowd cheers the athletic move despite Gaia’s attitude. Gaia remains in a mounted position and begins raining down punches, and at some point loses control so much that she begins using her two hands to choke Night Train! The crowd boos as the referee tries to tear Gaia away as he makes the five-count. Gaia releases the hold right before the count of five much to the chagrin of the audience in attendance. Even after just punching and strangling Night Train, Galanos looks completely exhausted which is nearly unheard of with the kind of conditioning training Gaia puts herself through. The referee tells her not to do that again, and Gaia mouths off to him, telling him to shut his mouth. This gives Night Train the opening to catch her with a Roundhouse Kick from the ground! This just angers Gaia because Night Train didn’t quite get all of it. Gaia catches Night Train in the jaw with a forearm shiver and throws her to the ropes! Night Train just sends her body flying at Gaia with a Flying Nothing, leveling her!
Night Train runs the ropes again, picking up the pace of the match once more. She catches Gaia with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown! This sends Gaia across the ring, but she’s immediately back to her feet and charging at Night Train again. Night Train goes for a Crossbody, but Gaia has other ideas as she catches Night Train and hits… the Scoopstone!?!?!?! Was Gaia sending a message to Madman Szalinski? Bone tired, Gaia just casually lays across Night Train, expecting that to be it.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE! WAIT, NO! NIGHT TRAIN KICKED OUT AT 2.999999999 SECONDS!! THE CROWD IS IN A COMPLETE UPROAR!!! Gaia Galanos is stunned as her eyes widen and she just drops down to the canvas; worn out. That’s when the referee begins the mandatory ten-count. Both combatants slowly get to their feet, Gaia is the first one, but when she throws a forearm, Night Train blocks it handily and catches Gaia with a double-strike to the throat, sending her off-balance!
A spinning heel kick puts Gaia on the ground. That’s when Night Train gets outside of the ring and gets ready to springboard. She slashes her throat, claiming the end is in sight! As Gaia Galanos gets to her feet, Night Train begins the springboard only for Gaia Galanos to kick the top rope! This staggers Night Train enough to cause her to lose her balance! When she falls, she lands stomach first on the ropes, hanging her up!
Seeing this, Gaia realizes this is her big opening as she suddenly charges toward the perpendicular ropes and rebounds back with a devastating Seismós Strike to her rope-hung rival! The crowd groans from the impact as Night Train drops from the ropes to the mat. Gaia desperately pushes Night Train a foot further toward the center of the ring then just drapes an arm over her.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!! Gaia is able to pick up the pinfall victory, but she isn’t able to celebrate it as she rolls off of the pin and just lays for there for a moment. When she finally reaches her feet, the referee raises her hand up in victory, but she quickly yanks it away and demands a microphone. As officials check on Night Train, Gaia Galanos gets a microphone as she requested.
WINNER in 27:51: Gaia Galanos!
Gaia Galanos: You all really wanted to know why? That’s exactly why I don’t need Night Train by my side. She could have very well beaten me, but she took an unnecessary risk and it didn’t pay off. Risks like that are why we not only lost in last year’s London Tag Grand Prix, but also why we now have to bare witness to The Master Sisters parading around with the UKWF Tag Team Championships!
Gaia looks down at Night Train while she begins getting back to her feet. Night Train clutches her shoulder rather tightly as Gaia kicks her former partner in the gut and sets her up in a front facelock. Gaia looks around as she hooks Night Train’s arm over her head. Galanos’ eyes see something at the entrance tunnel. Instead of executing the Brainbuster, Gaia’s facial expression takes on that of pure disgust. Our camera focuses on the entrance tunnel to reveal Madman Szalinski just standing there shaking his head in disappointment.
Gaia’s face twists into a scowl before she remembers what she was doing. She goes to hoist Night Train up, but Night Train spins out of the predicament, kicks Gaia in the gut, runs the ropes and catches her with the Running Train much to the delight of the fans in attendance! Night Train rolls out of the ring clutching her shoulder, but smiling nonetheless. Madman gives Night Train a pat on the back and congratulates her as she leaves. He then looks back at Gaia in the ring who is slowly recovering from Night Train’s finisher. She gets up just enough to glare wildly at Madman Szalinski through the second and third rope, resembling a caged, angry beast as our show comes to a close with Night Train’s music still wailing and the crowd buzzing in chaos.
