— As they fight for the chance to become the first GCW World Champion, Kross and Haskins display their talent and passion with each piece of offense and defense! Haskins is quick to apply the Sharpshooter, but the English wrestler cannot make Kross tap. Haskins is back with a bridging Fujiwara armbar; Kross wiggles out somehow... and is put right into a stretch muffler. Killer Kross isn’t going to tap! He comes back with a half nelson exploder suplex. This is a game changer! Kross begins to really punish Haskins.

“Filthy” Tom Lawlor₃ defeats Lance Hoyt₃ via pinfall . . .
— What a match between these two men! Both competitors use their strengths, but “Filthy” is the first to bring the much bigger Hoyt down with the Rear Naked Choke. Due to his long legs, Hoyt is able to drop a leg on the bottom rope and escape. Surprisingly, Lawlor is able to lift Hoyt for the Cleveland Steamer ‘18 and a spinning Death Valley Driver; both nearly put the big man away. “The American Psycho” comes back with the Texas Tower Bomb, Dark Days, and big boot; Lawlor is able to kick out at the last minute with each big move. In the end, Lawlor finishes Hoyt with the Master Blaster to advance in the GCW World Championship Battle.

Kenny Omega₀ defeats Necro Butcher₂ via pinfall . . .
— Omega takes Necro by surprise with the Spray Can. Butcher crawls out of the ring after a quick count of two. One Winged Angel! Butcher kicks out at the last second... and then is up again! The fans go nuts as Omega drops Necro again with another One Winged Angel! 1! 2! 3! Kenny Omega moves on in the GCW World Championship Battle.

Kenny Omega₀ defeats WALTER₃ via pinfall . . .
— Oddly, WALTER isn’t able to get much offense in against the sneaky Kenny Omega. Omega strikes first with Cryot’s Wrath. WALTER kicks out. Omega comes back with the One Winged Angel... outside the ring. WALTER makes it back to the ring... only to be brought down with the Hadouken. In the end, one final One Winged Angel brings the victory for Kenny Omega. Kenny Omega moves on in the GCW World Championship Battle.
