Main Event
Cruiserweight Cup Finals Match
No Time Limit
Semi Final Winner #1 vs Semi Final Winner #2
--
This is it. After nearly six weeks of competition, we are down to two men with aspirations of raising this year's Cruiserweight Cup. Who will have the most left within them to compete at the highest level? Who will be able to block out the noise and focus on the goal at hand? The 4th Annual Tournament was nothing short of spectacular, but there can only be one winner.

A Street-Fight Without Honor
Falls Count Anywhere
No Time Limit
The Bastards [Windsor/Fowler/Riot] vs Empire [Timeless/Steve Awesome/Donzig]
--
Many folks were left scratching their heads in late December when Timeless and Donzig seemingly worked together and allowed for Timeless to earn a future North American Double Crown opportunity. Who could've predicted that they would double down and join forces with former Openweight Champion; Steve Awesome. This all came to fruition at the conclusion of Frank Windsor and Timeless' knockdown, drag out match on Day 2. As any loyal friends would do; Rob Riot and Billy Fowler hit the ring to even the score, but they were kept at bay by Donzig's henchmen. The Bastards aren't the type of group to lay-down for anyone. Their performance at The Great Northern War was proof of that. So when The Bastards showed up on the January 24th show looking for a fight, it was clear that Gus Arnold needed to act and make this match to settle the score. This one won't be for the faint of heart.

A Champion's Duel
Non Title
30 Minute Time Limit
Ronnie Long(c) vs. Jesse Jamester(c)
--
Ronnie Long has always felt as though he's been in the shadow of his former stablemates for years. While Ronnie has changed his ways as of late, his past continues to haunt him. Well that, and his former tag team partners Daeriq Damien. It has been made abundantly clear that Damien has no intention of leaving Long's past behind him, and will remind of who he was at every turn. With a burning desire to prove himself, Long has been petitioning for a chance to test himself against the number one guy in Northern Pro Wrestling. That just so happens to be 'The Canadian Nightmare' - Jesse Jamester. Many have tried, and it seems as though they've all failed. With the North American Double Crown around his waist, 'JJ' has a huge target on his back and the entire Northern Pro locker room his gunning for him at every turn. Gus Arnold believes the crux of Northern Pro was built around competition. So what better way to establish a measuring stick than for the Openweight and Double Crown Champions to fight it out for the world to see. Expect Fireworks!

Cruiserweight Cup Semi Final Match #2
30-Minute Time Limit
Jay Stevens vs. 2nd Place in Do or Die
--
This was Jay Stevens' third appearance in the Cruiserweight Cup. He went from a semi-finalist, to a finalist. Does he have what it takes to climb the mountain and be the last man standing? After a strong performances in the knockout stage, one would have to say that he looks the part. However, there are still two matches to win and they won't be easy. Due to the tie-breaker situation in Block B - A Do or Die match will take place earlier in the show. Whomever finishes in second place with draw Jay in the semi-finals. Be ready for anyone, at anytime and any place. This situation depicts that old adage perfectly.

Cruiserweight Cup Semi Final Match #1
30-Minute Time Limit
Eddie Havok vs. 1st Place in Do or Die
--
Eddie Havok has earned the nickname 'The Iron Man' of this tournament. He went the distance with two of Northern Pro's finest, before finally securing a victory over James Knight in strong fashion. Havok has been building quite the reputation for himself as someone who's hard to defeat, and someone who's going to be in your face every moment of your match. He will draw the winner of the Do or Die match earlier in the evening. Havok will have the rest advantage, but these things are so unpredictable, it's hard to know how much damage Havok's body is wearing from his two time-limit draws earlier in the tournament. Get your popcorn.

Fatal Fourway Match
30-Minute Time Limit
Takaru Matsui vs Dusty Griffith vs. Neo James Carner vs. Danny Ray
--
Four of Northern Pro's finest will battle it out under Texas Tornado Rules. All four men will be in the ring at once, and the first man to secure a pinfall or submission will be declared the winner. Gus Arnold typically uses these matches to decide who's next in line for a championship opportunity. Anyone who follows Northern Pro Wrestling is likely hip to this, and the competitors in the match ought to view this match as a chance to take a giant leap towards championship gold.

Singles Match
20 Minute Time Limit
Kaupena Yoon vs. Leon Van Zandt
--
Leon Van Zandt is an enigma. When he's on his game, there appears to be no-one better. Leon is the type of throw back we don't often see in today's wrestling game - but he has been tremendously successful all over the world. Kaupena Yoon went toe to toe with the Bad Man from Boise in his first time out, and impressed with his performance in a losing effort. It's clear he won't back down from bigger opponents, and we now understand that Yoon is capable of taking on world class competitors and holding his own. This stand-alone singles match has the NPW fans excited about it's possibilities.

Do or Die Elimination Match (Two Survivors Advance)
No Time Limit
Xiaolong vs. Rob Garcia vs. Vincent Wolf
--
The Cruiserweight Cup is always ultra competitive. For the first time ever, we have a three way tie at the top of the rankings. Each of these men fought one and other, and where one was victorious against one - they ultimately lost against the other. Donzig's desire to hurt folks and his disregard for the sportsmanship aspect of the tournament turned this block on it's head. Now we have a unique Triple Threat Match where the winner of the first fall will meet Eddie Havok. The winner of the second fall will meet Jay Stevens. The man who is unable to secure a fall will finish 3rd in the block, and won't advance to the semi-finals later in the show. Therefore, we have a Do or Die situation on our hands to kick off our show. Pressure makes diamonds so let's see which of these men rise to the occasion.
