A truly gutsy performance by RNA in this one, fighting for every inch with Kyle Anderson. Her eyes were on the prize… and RNA scored big, winning the Pacific Northwest Championship with the Ruthless Armripper, after a hard-fought battle. Another harsh blow to Pure Gold.


The Midwest Initiative is definitely riding on the back of Colt Whitfield’s hard work as of late. His Shocker Locker leglock has been the greatest weapon for the young trio, and he put it to good use again here, forcing Luci to tap out and retaining the Trios Championships once again, entering 2023 as a major force.


Todd Colton is a man on a mission. Demanding that AFW take him seriously, this is one way to do that… by wiping out Nathan Haines and claiming his first bit of AFW gold. The Heart of Texas Championship is proving to be nearly impossible to hang onto…


Celine Chevalier has been waiting for this match for months. Finally, she got Angel Leblanc in the ring, and the Knight-Errant proceeded to wrestle the match of her life, finally locking in the Chevalier Lock, and scoring a huge, important submission victory.


The long-awaited rematch between Shiana Sentarl and Victoria Frey saw the outsider once again look insurmountable. Despite a rough lead-up to this match, with the rest of Vindication proving to be stronger, Victoria turned up the heat and brought her best to this one, bringing down Shiana in impressive fashion.


Eri Sentarl has wanted to be a tag team champion for a good while… and now that she finally has the titles around her waist alongside Chichi, she has absolutely no intention of letting them go. This was a battle… and both members of the GOAT seemed unwilling to make this easy, family or not. But Eri endured, and finally, secured a victory to retain the titles.


HAYATO’s brash attitude has been grating on Proving Ground fans for a good while now… but he’s also one hell of a wrestler, and he proved it here against Riccardo, enduring the onslaught of the Perpetual Motion machine, and planting the champion with a HAYATO Driver, securing the Top Prospect Championship to enter the new year at the top of the mountain.


One of the most vicious and gutsy performances ever seen by an Evergreen wrestler: Babe Ruthless is for real. Faced with perhaps the toughest challenge of her career, she did not back down from Kantar for a second, taking the fight straight to him, and after a brutal fight on the outside, she managed to secure her Full Nelson Clutch to force a submission, and retain the Evergreen Championship!


Every bit the high-flying contest we anticipated: Carmen and Rocket were electric here, turning this into maybe the best match of the night. But although Carmen has been one of AFW’s best all year, Johnny Rocket is one of the best in the world at what he does… and the Spirit of Texas Championship would not be leaving its home town. Rocket retains, and the title remains on a Houston native.


Closing out the night, Veronika Armstrong, Grand Ascension winner, had a tremendous challenge ahead of her. Mascara Avispa remains The Best when it comes to Phoenix Rising talent… and he was simply insurmountable tonight, even as it looked like Veronika was taking charge. Never count the World Champion out… Avispa retains, and it looks like it’s going to be very, very difficult to dethrone him.
