YOLO Twins (Yohann and Logan Ollores) (w/ Ken Warren) vs. the Punk Dolls (Martivo and Robynn) (w/Crystal)

The winners of this match will face Tengu and Dr. Hertz of The Regime at PWR Vendetta. The Punk Dolls introduced the returning Crystal to ringside to even up the numbers advantage. The Twins tried to jump on their opponents but the Punk Dolls foiled their attempt. The Twins used their double teaming tactics and isolated Robynn for most of the match. Martivo got tagged in and rallied back against the Twins.

MTNH (Ralph Imabayashi and Rederick Mahaba) vs. Figters 4 Hire (Miguel Rosales and Joey Bax)

Bax and Rosales were in control at the start, frequently tagging and delivering the hurt on the former PWR Champion, Ralph Imabayashi. The tide shifted when Rederick Mahaba was tagged in and it was MTNH dominating the match. Rosales got the hot tag and sent MTNH to Barangay Suplex for a good round. He even wiped out MTNH outside with a dive off the ropes. Joey Bax was assaulted by a huge bamboo stick from Rederick Mahaba and was pinned via a Sonic Crusher-Splash combination. MTNH scored this victory for Team Sebastian.

 

PWR Live Oktoberplex When in Manila Madrigal Bolt NEWMike Madrigal taunts the crowd

Bolt vs. Mike Madrigal

Both men displayed some nice chain wrestling to start the match. Madrigal kept Bolt grounded early on until Bolt came striking back. Mike Madrigal retreated outside, only for Bolt to lay him out with a moonsault from the ring apron. Madrigal countered the Otakudriver but failed to deliver his GTS as Bolt narrowly avoids it. Bolt got the upset victory after he surprised the PHX champion with a rollup pin.

Madrigal beat down Bolt after the match but Zayden Trudeau entered ringside for the save. Trudeau stood tall in the ring for a moment as he held the PHX title belt. A bloodied Bolt got to his feet and also held the PHX title momentarily before Madrigal snatched it away and made a hasty retreat.

PWR Tag Team Title Match: The Network © (James “Idol” Martinez and Alexander Belmonte III) vs. Trian Dela Torre and Evan Carleaux

It was a see-saw battle between both teams, especially when it was Trian Dela Torre and Idol who faced each other in the ring. Evan Carleaux accidentally kicked the ref and sent him to sleep. His henchmen GrabCamus and Officer Tutan added a pillow, blanket, and some lullabies to the knocked out referee. The referee woke from his slumber to a chaos-filled ring as both teams still were at it. TDT and Carleaux almost had it in the bag with the Darkest Nior combo until their nemesis, the Kakaibr0s, went ringside to attack GrabCamus and Tutan. TDT joined the fray and left Evan Carleaux alone to The Network’s assisted Pay-In finisher! Idol and AB3 retained the titles but there’s a feeling that these two teams shall meet again soon for the gold.

Lumberjack Match for the PWR Championship: Chris Panzer © vs. John Sebastian

Chris Panzer and John Sebastian were evenly matched each others moves and holds early on. Panzer got the momentum and sent Sebastian retreating to the outside. Panzer flew off to take out Sebastian and the rest outside the ring. The former PWR Champ did the same on Panzer a few moments later and flew from the top. A melee broke out with the two teams brawling at ringside. The order was somehow restored as Panzer and Sebastian exchanged some hard strikes. They would soon reverse and catch their opponent’s respective finishers that added a lot of drama and tension at ringside.

Team Sy and Team Sebastian members would enter the ring to start another riot after the referee went down. Panzer would deliver the Panzerschreck on Versoza, but Sebastian was there to take him out. SANDATA rushed to the ring and shook John Sebastian’s hand teasing that he’d join Team Sebastian. SANDATA showed his true side as he delivered the Kidlat on Sebastian before Chris Panzer would connect with the Eagle Splash for the victory. SANDATA formally became Team Sy’s 5th member going into PWR Vendetta. With Team Sy complete, who will be Team Sebastian’s Fifth member for the Ubusan ng Lahi match at Vendetta?
