I was really hoping to finish the King of the Ring of Vegas tournament today, but unfortunately it looks like I will have to finish playing it out during RAW tomorrow night.

It's now time for the Elite Eight!
Ring of Vegas (ROV)
Show #6: King of the Ring of Vegas Year 1 Day 3
Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight
Saturday March 9, Year 1
(Evening Session)
Thomas and Mack
Las Vegas, Nevada
In the Ring: Grand Champion Claudio Castagnoli with Jakob Hammermeier and Daizee Haze.
- Castagnoli says he is going to win three more matches in this tournament to become the ROV Champion but he will then take the title back with him to Lachikaras Vegas and only appear in ROV a minimal amount of time
Luxor bracket finals
Match #9: Grand Champion Claudio Castagnoli (accompanied by Jakob Hammermeier and Daizee Haze) defeated Bryan Danielson
- Danielson almost made Castagnoli tap out twice early in this match but, thanks to distraction from Hammermeier and Haze, Castagnoli won via an Inverted Chikara Special to move onto the Final Four
- will Castagnoli fulfill his vow to win the King of the Ring of Vegas to become the first-ever ROV Champion and take the title back with him to Lachikaras Vegas?
Planet Hollywood bracket finals
Match #10: Kevin Steen defeated Jigsaw
- Steen won via his PACKAGE PILEDRIVER to advance into the Final Four where he will take on Claudio Castagnoli!
- afterward, Steen promised not to allow Castagnoli to win and take the ROV Championship with him to Lachikaras Vegas. Steen however said based on what happened in Castagnoli's match with Danielson tonight that he is concerned about possible interference from the BDK so he is bringing along some backup- the entrance music for El Generico played and El Generico appeared to indicate he will be in Steen's corner tomorrow for the Final Four!
Mandalay Bay bracket finals
Match #11: Roderick Strong defeated Sami Callihan
- in one of the best matches of the entire tournament, Strong managed to outlast Callihan and won via End of Heartache to move into the Final Four.
- during this match, Truth Martini was again seen watching Strong in action from afar.
- afterward, a defeated Callihan was ambushed from behind by Michael Elgin. Martini then challenged Callihan to face Elgin in a non-tournament match tomorrow!
In the Ring: Mike Quackenbush
- Quackenbush introduced his 3 tag team partners for tomorrow's non-tournament Lackikaras Vegas vs ROH atomicos match: Jigsaw, Eddie Kingston, and (surprisingly since he's a rudo in Lachikaras Vegas) Ultramantis Black!
- ROV match maker Nigel McGuinness appeared to introduce the 4 ROV wrestlers in the atomicos match: ROV Tag Team Champions the Briscoes, Jay Lethal, and Homicide!
The Palms bracket finals
Match #12: Davey Richards defeated CVW Champion Drake Younger
- Richards put Younger away via an ANKLE LOCK to move into the Final Four where he will compete against Roderick Strong.
- afterward, Richards introduced his fellow American Wolf Eddie Edwards who will be in his corner tomorrow during the Final Four!
- afterward, Younger was approached by Danielson who challenged him to a non-tournament match at tomorrow's Final Four!
End of Show. See you tomorrow for the Final Four to see who will become the first-ever ROV Champion!

The Final Four is a Powerhouse line-up and I'm getting a gut feeling CC is headed for the Gold, but I wouldn't mind seeing Roderick Strong win it. I am looking to see if Danielson can rebound and defeat Younger and if he wins, will he get a CVW Title Shot...

Too bad Elgin lost to Sami, but Truth using the Book of Truth is always cool to see. Younger beating Danielson is huge and the Losing Streak watch is on for BD. CC winning the Gold over Richards is a barnburner and can he take another belt to become a Triple Crown Champ, I want to see that. Solid Action Vegas, keep it coming...
