KrX 45: #newhorizon
- Introduction -
Mesmer unveils the KrX Horizon title belt. Transparent metal tubing twists elegantly across it surface. A gold colored fluorescent liquid flows through the tubing, creating a dazzling effect. He takes a moment to remind the audience that only competitors that have never appeared at the Crossroads are eligible to challenge for this title. The inaugural champion will be decided in a round robin series consisting of four men that he personally selected. If two individuals are tied at the conclusion of the series, the winner will be decided by whoever won the head-to-head meeting between the tied competitors. Each competitor will have ample time to recuperate before each round (meaning no carry over fatigue tokens).
Mesmer takes a moment to add one important detail. Failing to capture the KrX Horizon title does not mean that a wrestler will immediately depart the promotion. Depending on performance, any challenger might be invited to remain at the Crossroads.
Killer Queen defeated Tanck via disqualification- Despite being granted multiple openings, Queen is unable to neutralize his opponent's size advantage. In a clever manipulation, Queen lures Tanck outside the ring. When the ref is looking elsewhere, Queen cuts himself with a foreign object and then slips it into Tanck's boot. When the opportunity presents itself, Queen points out the concealed weapon and escapes with a technical victory. (Fatigue: Queen 4)
Wraith defeated Quasar- A fine display of athletic ability from both competitors. Wraith scores the pinfall after turning completely invisible and hitting SUDDEN DEATH (+3), a bulldog from the top turnbuckle. (Fatigue: Wraith 1 - Quasar 3)
- Titan Talk -
Nitro interviews Endgame in order to get his opinion on a number of topics. He is confident that the Aethran presence at the Crossroads is not a cause for concern. The Gladiators are busy waging war on each other, as they feel battling other Aethrans is the purest way to show their own dominance. He also admits that he was surprised by the Alpha Stone anomaly that almost caused Chaos to drop the KrX Advent title to Tauran. He refuses to discuss Sleeper Cell because he feels it might compromise whatever plan of action the commissioner might be developing to handle the group.
Although he has yet to step inside the ring, Endgame indicates that he has not ruled out the possibility. "If the time comes that I am required in that capacity, I will be more than happy to oblige. When I was sent to the Crossroads, it was to monitor certain conditions and ensure that it remains safe. Until I receive different instructions, that is the task that I continue to perform."
Wraith defeated Tanck- Wraith survives a few close calls and adjusts his style to handle Tanck's overwhelming strength. Like he did in his previous bout, Wraith lands SUDDEN DEATH (+3) while invisible and Tanck is too startled to kick out in time. (Fatigue: Wraith 2 - Tanck 3)
Quasar defeated Killer Queen- Seeming somewhat lethargic, the crowd starts to wonder if Queen has any interest in winning this contest. Quasar makes short work of the situation and grabs the win following a Gravity Ball Tackle. (Fatigue: Queen 1)

The Triangle Tower is a unique construction. At first, the object is to escape the lower cage. However, the upper cage is there to prevent escape and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission. Three men step inside to determine who is the number one contender for the KrX Advent title - Avarice vs. Shayne vs. Thantos.
Two separate tag team contests that will have a big impact on the current title picture. Animal Pack, who lost in their first match together at the Crossroads, will face the Greek Gods while AniMen Invasion, who were victorious over the Pack, meet Superiority Complex.
Mayhem made lots of noise when he first appeared at the Crossroads by attacking Axis of Power member, Vengeance. His in-ring debut will be against another member of the Axis, Mandrill.
Tanck defeated Quasar via count-out- This contest is over in a heartbeat, as Tanck unleashes his hatred for the Titan race. He attacks Quasar at the opening bell and heaves him over the top rope! Taking a serious bump against the concrete floor, Quasar is unable to make it back to his feet before the ref completes his count (snake eyes).
- Dark Justice shows up to help Tanck double team the fallen Titan. Before any serious harm is done, Blade arrives to make the save! While Blade helps Quasar to his feet, Dark Justice offers Tanck a place within The Cure. Taking immediate advantage of the situation, Commissioner Euritar decides that these four men will face off at KrX 47 - Blade and Quasar versus Dark Justice and Tanck!
- The outcome of this contest has serious ramifications. Quasar and Tanck both finish with a record of one win and two losses, meaning that the winner of the final match of this series will become the inaugural KrX Horizon Champion!
Killer Queen defeated Wraith
to win the KrX Horizon Championship- Deception proves to be Queen's most formidable skill. Unlike in his previous two encounters, the Hardcore Harlequin goes after Wraith with ferocious intensity. He whips Wraith into the rails, busting him open. Wraith starts to mount a comeback, but the blood loss takes its toll and Queen easily rolls him into a small package for a three count. (Fatigue: Queen 1 - Wraith 4)
