It was a night packed with high-stakes drama, shocking twists, and long-awaited revelations as Memphis Wrestling laid the groundwork for the upcoming Junior Heritage Tournament. With tensions escalating in multiple divisions, the energy inside the arena was electric from start to finish.

Derrick King Kicks Off Tournament Season

At the top of the show, Dustin Starr welcomed Derrick King to the announce table, where King proudly held the Junior Heritage Championship. He declared that the field for the highly anticipated Junior Heritage Tournament—set to begin next week—would be finalized today. Excitement rippled through the locker room, and the implications were felt immediately backstage.

Backstage Reactions: Eyes on the Prize

Backstage, “The Gift” Ray Sanders reacted to the tournament announcement, but his moment was interrupted by a familiar presence—Oso—who reminded Sanders that he still has unfinished business with him. Elsewhere, Vashawn Harvey also learned about the tournament, sparking speculation that he could be a dark horse in the bracket.

Gio Savage vs Iceman Sosa

In in-ring action, Gio Savage scored a solid victory over Icemane Sosa, building crucial momentum just as the tournament roster was being finalized. Could Savage be one to watch in the tournament?

Tournament Brackets Start to Take Shape

More names were revealed as tournament competitors, with “Casanova” Colton Cage and Kale expressing excitement backstage about their inclusion. Later in the night, The Shocker, CJ Money—who was informed in the parking lot—and Mama Money all celebrated their entries. CJ Blaine and Main Event Bradley were also confirmed as participants, making this one of the most competitive Junior Heritage Tournaments in recent memory.

Chaos Among Former Allies: Reverend Ash Strikes Back

In one of the night’s most explosive moments, Dustin Starr interviewed Brother Bruce, Marrow, and Asa. Bruce renounced his past allegiance to Reverend Ash Taylor, calling him “an Ash-hole,” and revealed a new “Memphis Wrestling Rules” philosophy, stating they plan to “maul them all.”

The celebration was cut short when Reverend Ash made a shocking appearance. He warned of retribution before The Slaughterhouse—”Jagged” James Dean and “Ruthless” Nick James—ambushed Bruce and Marrow. Ash delivered a chilling message, stating his former family took everything from him, and now he will do the same. He punctuated his words by ripping off Marrow’s mask in a symbolic act of betrayal and domination.

Backstage, K-Toomer delivered a stern warning to Big John Dalton, declaring that The Hollywood Clique has a problem—and it’s not him. With vengeance in his eyes, Toomer made it clear: it’s “get back season.”

L.A. Hustlers vs. Business Dawgs

At the announce desk, The L.A. Hustlers (Notorious Bradley and Ruffshot Lamont) issued a bold demand: a rematch for the tag team titles. Lamont threatened to hold the show hostage until they got what they wanted. The Business Dawgs (Tim Grind, Lil’ Homie, and Xya Wolfe) interrupted, with Tim Grind reminding the Hustlers of their attack on Flex.

A heated exchange led to a physical confrontation, triggered when Bradley shoved Xya Wolfe. Security had to rush in to stop the all-out brawl. Clearly, the tag team division is boiling over.

Diana Taylor addressed the ongoing threats from Nixi XS, vowing to stand strong as Memphis Wrestling Women’s Champion. But her words were interrupted by another eerie video from Nixi, who warned her of an impending surprise.

That surprise? None other than the terrifying Su Yung, who attacked Diana from behind with a brutal assault capped off by her signature Mandible Claw. Officials had to separate the two, and Diana was helped to the back.

Later, a defiant Diana Taylor vowed revenge, declaring she is and always will be the true Women’s Champion. This feud is far from over.

KJ Rockett vs Makkari Kandy

KJ Rockett defeated Makkari Kandy in a controversial finish. Sevyn Cruz’s interference backfired when she lost control of the candy bowl, allowing Rockett to knock her off the apron and steal a win with a schoolkid pin.

Main Event: Mike Anthony vs Wonderboy

In the main event, Mike Anthony successfully defended the Memphis Wrestling Internet Championship against Wonderboy, further cementing his dominance in the division.
