Due to the controversy surrounding Thantos' breaking of the Galactic Code, the Galaxian Federation's Board of Directors elected to vacate all the Galaxian Federation Championships. Tournaments will be held to crown new champions. The tournament to crown the new Galaxian Champion will take place on the first show of the year. Sixteen wrestlers will be randomly selected from the roster to compete in this prestigious one-night tournament with the winner becoming the face of this new era in the Galaxian Federation.

Intermission - Backstage interview with Star Warrior
Interviewer - "A lot of fans seem frustrated that your name didn't get called tonight. You were the favorite in the eyes of many viewers. How are you feeling right now?"
Star Warrior - "I'm disappointed, obviously. I feel like at this point in my career I've proven that I deserve to compete for the championship and it's frustrating that I won't have that opportunity tonight. But the bottom line is this. It doesn't matter if it's tonight, six months from now, or a year, I will become the Galaxian Champion and I will restore the honor of the Galactic Code. And If that means taking the belt from Thantos, all the better."
Interviewer - "So is Thantos your pick to win then?"
Star Warrior - "What? No, no. He's just the guy I want to punch the most. If I could win the title and punch him in one go that'd be ideal."
Interviwer - "So who is your pick?"
Star Warrior - "Commander Sam of course, the FDF sticks together."

Post Match Promo
Massacre made his way down to the ring to celebrate with his tag team partner. He grabbed a microphone.
Massacre - "The Gladiators of Aethra are just getting started! You all just got a small taste of what the Gladiators are capable of tonight. There's no one in this company that can hang with me and Brute! Everyone you put in front of us we knock down! That's what Aethrans do! Tell 'em Brute!"
Brute took the microphone and paused. He scanned the crowd.
Brute - "Wolf, you traitor."
He held up the Galaxian Championship.
Brute - "If you want this belt, come and get it."
There appeared to be a commotion in the crowd. It was Wolf making his way to the ring! He jumped the barricade around the ring and slid under the ropes. He was so focused on Brute that he didn't notice Massacre behind him. Massacre hit Wolf's knee from behind with a chop block that dropped him to the mat. Brute and Massacre took turns stomping Wolf as the crowd showered the ring with boos and the show faded to black.
