As the show is ending, Ian Riccaboni closes by saying the IWA will be kicking off a new tour after a short break. The new tour will be a large 32-man tournament for the Indy Heritage Cup, with the semi-finals and finals happening at the next big show, One Night in Houston.
NOTE: I did give the champs in the above matches an advantage by lowering their pin ratings to 0. They will have this advantage for 1d6 matches before it is gone.
