Six Man Tag Team Match: Jordan Cruz, Kari Wright, and Max Heights vs. SGCunt
EFFY and Heights started with a wrist lock exchange. EFFY gained a waistlock and transitioned it into a side headlock. As EFFY was shot off the ropes, he took Heights down with a shoulder tackle. Heights responded with a big dropkick, which knocked EFFY off his feet. EFFY then tagged in Manders, and Max quickly retreated, tagging in Jordan Cruz. They attempted to take each other down with shoulder tackles, but neither budged. They started trading forearms back and forth. Cruz connected with a leaping knee and tagged in Wright, who took Manders out with a lariat followed by a knee drop to Manders’ back. Wright then pie-faced Sawyer Wreck before refocusing on Manders, who countered with a chop and tagged in Sawyer. Sawyer unleashed a barrage of chops on Wright, hit Heights with repeated headbutts, and took Cruz out with a back suplex. She continued assaulting Wright with chops and tagged Manders back in. They took turns chopping at Wright’s chest, then elevated him as EFFY attempted to come off the top rope with a blockbuster. However, Wright fired up and took everyone out with a lariat and dropkicks. Heights returned to the ring, taking out Sawyer with a leaping elbow drop before both Heights and Wright focused their attention on EFFY. They stomped away at EFFY in the corner before sending all three members of SGCunt to the floor and wiping them out with dives. They went for a delayed suplex, but Manders muscled them up and made the hot tag to EFFY, who hit them with a double blockbuster followed by a boot in the corner to Cruz and Heights. EFFY attempted a TKO on Cruz, but Wright intervened, hitting him with a leaping knee. EFFY managed to create separation and tagged in Wreck, but she was caught with a knee strike from Cruz and then planted by Wright with a driver, followed by a frog splash from Heights. EFFY broke up the pin at the last second. Manders turned Wright inside out with a lariat, Wreck hit the other two with a double chokeslam, and finally, a top rope Sack Ryder secured the victory.

Singles Match: Broski Jimmy Lloyd vs. Billie Starkz
Jimmy recited the following promo: “I’m so happy to be here in Dallas, but it’s not because I like Dallas because let’s be honest, it’s a shithole. Show me some looks at notes respect. The only good thing that’s happened in Dallas was my Broski Matt Cardona winning the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania. Matt Cardona is a superstar and he is saving my career, I have to follow his guidance and do what he says or I’ll be an Indy Jabroni forever. So tonight, I’m going to take his advice and I’m going to start my road to superstardom by taking on someone who already thinks they are a TV superstar, but in reality Billie Starkz, you’re not a TV Superstar, you’re just on the youtube show.”
Jimmy went for a boot, but Billie caught it and sent Jimmy to the floor with a kick followed by a series of topes. On the last one, he caught her on his shoulders and sent her face-first into a support beam, then crashing into the rows of chairs. Jimmy brought her back into the ring and did push-ups while choking her at the same time. He attempted a running leg lariat, but Billie moved out of the way and hit him with a Poisonrana.

— ALLIE KATCH アリー・キャッチ (@AllieKATCH) February 24, 2024
Tremendous promo from Allie Katch hyping up the match with Mance Warner.
Allie kicked Mance in the groin and tripped him up with the rope. Mance went to the floor where Allie lit him up with a series of right hands. She sent Mance flying into the second row of chairs, but he quickly recovered and leveled Allie with a straight right hand. She whipped Mance across ringside and sent him flying into the chairs once again. Mance rolled into the ring and forced Katch to collide with the ring post head and shoulder first, similar to a tamer version of the Danielson/McGuinness spot from Unified 2006. Mance grabbed a steel chair and attempted to hit her over the head with it, but she moved out of the way, causing the chair to hit Mance in the face. Mance detached Allie from the rope and started whipping her with it, then wrapped it around her neck to try to cut off her circulation. Mance attempted to spike her on a steel chair, but Katch fired up and dropped him crotch first onto the chair before taking him out with a running lariat. Katch then connected with a series of right hands. Mance took out the legs of Allie and sent her face-first into the steel chair. He grabbed the chair and proceeded to beat her across the back with it. Mance then grabbed the bell and pounded away on her head, causing her to bust open. Mance tossed two chairs into the ring and stomped one across Allie’s face. He brought a door into the ring and set it up in the corner. Mance dug the bell into Katch’s face and grabbed a bundle of skewers from underneath the ring. Katch threw a chair at Mance’s head, placed it across his neck, and wrenched back on it. She hit Mance with a handful of skewers, and Mance punched her in the face and stabbed her in the head with the skewers for good measure. Mance was sent face-first into a chair in the corner, then sent flying through a door that was set up there. She followed that up with a piledriver, but Mance was able to get his shoulder up at the last second. They both got back up to their feet, where Katch again speared Mance through the door, but he still kicked out at the last second. Katch set up two chairs in the center of the ring and went to piledrive Mance onto them, but he blocked it and stabbed Katch in the leg with a skewer before headbutting her. Finally, Mance chokeslammed her onto the steel chairs, but Katch kicked out at two. Mance Warner called for the mic and told Allie to stay down, then hit her with a running knee strike, but Katch kicked out again. Mance couldn’t believe it as the crowd got behind their hometown girl. He told the ref to give her a standing 10 count, but Allie got back up to her feet, flipped Mance off, avoided another running knee, and got a quick roll-up, but Mance kicked out and unloaded on her with the cowbell. Mance then grabbed a pair of scissors and was going to stab her with them when EFFY made his way to the ringside area. EFFY got into the ring, and Mance tossed the scissors to Katch, telling her to attack EFFY. EFFY hit Mance with a Sack Ryder and went to stab Mance with the scissors, but Mance moved out of the way and stabbed EFFY in the head. Mance handcuffed EFFY to the bottom rope and stabbed Katch in the head with the scissors. Allie Katch’s mom came into the ring and covered her daughter, then spat at Mance Warner, who started to leave the ring with the scissors. He was halfway to the back when he turned around and stabbed Allie’s mom in the head as the show went off the air.
