MATCH ONE

Pyro went off inside the arena to kick off Warfare live from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Corey Graves: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to EBWF Warfare. I'm Corey Graves.

Mauro Ranallo: And I'm Mauro Ranallo. We are just two weeks away from Survivor Series!

"Glasgow Cross" hit the PA and Nikki Cross made her way to the ring, accompanied by Paul Ellering. Christy Hemme announced the unhinged woman, who got into the ring under the bottom rope. "Illest" hit and the crowd cheered the arrival of Liv Morgan. She threw her snapback into the crowd before getting into the ring.

The bell rang and the two women locked up. Cross went for a slam, but Liv landed on her feet. She followed up with a double leg take down and jackknife cover, but Nikki Cross bridged to get out of the attempt. Cross got the backslide which resulted in another near fall. Cross got on a waist lock and Morgan countered with a standing switch. Cross reared back for an elbow attempt, but Morgan did the matrix and took Nikki down for yet another near fall.

Mauro Ranallo: Looks like Nikki shouldn't cross Liv tonight.

Corey Graves: That's bad. Even for you.

Nikki whipped Liv into the corner and hit a forearms on her. Cross hit a suplex for another near fall. Nikki slammed Liv's head into the mat and cross went for the pin, but Liv kicked out at one. Nikki stood on Liv's hands and stomped on them. She followed up with a stomp to the midsection. Liv retreated into the corner and cross stomped her down again. Morgan fought up to her feet and kicked Nikki, knocking her down and jumping into position for a quick rollup. Cross kicked out quickly, and pushed Liv down and began to kick her in the ribs. Liv hit a drop toe hold into the ropes, and tried for the O'Connor Rioll, but she only got a near fall. Liv came to life with a flying hair take down and clothesline, followed by a big leaping face buster.

Corey Graves: Liv might do it here!

She went for the pin, hooking the leg.

3!

Mauro Ranallo: Who would have thought?

Corey Graves: Liv Morgan has done it! Liv Morgan has put away Nikki Cross.

MATCH TWO

As Warfare returned from a commercial break, the Gorgeous Guys were on their way to the ring.
 
Mauro Ranallo: Welcome back! Up next, we’ve got a first round Tag Team Classic match as the Gorgeous Guys, Noam Dar and Tyler Breeze, take on Chris Jericho and a veteran of the squared circle… the Brooklyn Brawler!
 
When Noam Dar and Tyler Breeze had entered the ring, Brookyln Brawler came out. He had no entrance music, but he received a warm reaction from the crowd as he headed to the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: The crowd showing respect for Brooklyn Brawler here...

Corey Graves: He’s a nostalgia act, Mauro! A nice guy but he hasn’t accomplished anything of note in his 34 year professional wrestling career.

When Brawler was in the ring, Chris Jericho came out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Upon entering the ring, Jericho told Brawler to stand on the apron, which Brawler did. Across the ring, Dar moved onto the apron for the Gorgeous Guys, and as the referee called for the bell, Jericho and Breeze locked up. Breeze went for a headlock, but Jericho broke free and hit Breeze with a series of backhand chops. He whipped Breeze against the ropes and hit a flying forearm smash, then as Breeze got back to his feet, Jericho hit a swinging neckbreaker. He hooked the leg and the referee counted - 1... 2... kickout!

Corey Graves: Jericho starting strong here... the ten time EBWF World Champion in control right now!

Mauro Ranallo: Jericho made it clear before this match that he was confident he could win on his own, but the Brooklyn Brawler is obviously keen to get involved in his first ever EBWF appearance!

Brooklyn Brawler applauded Jericho’s efforts, but Dar taunted Brawler, yelling across the ring “you’ve done nothing pal!” Meanwhile in the ring, Jericho stomped on Breeze several times and pulled him to his feet, setting him up for a double undertook backbreaker. Breeze blocked it and hit a back body drop, then as Jericho got to his feet, Breeze hit a snap suplex. He hooked the leg and the referee counted - 1... 2... kickout! Breeze tagged in Noam Dar, and the Gorgeous Guys worked together to double team Jericho! Brawler protected, and the referee ordered Breeze to exit the ring. Meanwhile, Noam Dar sat Jericho up, applying a sleeper hold. Jericho broke out of it and as both men got to their feet, Jericho hit Dar with an enzuigiri, then hit a tiger suplex. Jericho made the pinfall attempt and the referee counted - 1... 2... kickout! As Jericho got to his feet, Brawler called for the tag, but Jericho shook his head and pulled Dar to his feet, whipping him against the ropes. Jericho hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, then grabbed Dar by the legs and applied the Walls of Jericho! Dar was struggling to get to the ropes, and just when it looked like he was about to tag, Tyler Breeze broke the hold! The crowd booed, and once again the referee ordered Breeze out of the ring. Brawler looked furious, and Breeze challenged Brawler to bring it. In the ring, Dar hit Jericho with a DDT, then tagged in Tyler Breeze. Breeze whipped Jericho into the corner where Brawler was, then said to Brawler “come at me, bro”. Brawler nodded, and tagged himself in! Upon entering the ring, Brawler exchanged punches with Breeze, and to the delight of the crowd, the veteran was able to gain the upper hand. Brawler then whipped Breeze against the ropes, before tagging him down with a big boot. Noam Dar began yelling at Brawler, and Brawler knocked him off the ring apron! This gave Breeze time to recover, and as Brawler turned around, Breeze hit the Supermodel Kick! Brawler struggled to his feet, and Breeze hit the Beauty Shot! He hooked the leg and the referee counted - 1... 2... 3! Jericho didn’t even try to break up the count, but as the referee called for the bell, Jericho shook his head.

Corey Graves: Jericho obviously disappointed with his partner, and who can blame him? The Brooklyn Brawler most the match for his team!

Mauro Ranallo: Jericho could have broken up the count but he chose not to... I don’t think he ever really wanted to win this match, Corey, he just didn’t want to be the one to lose it...

As Breeze and Dar celebrated on the ramp, Jericho entered the ring and helped Brawler to his feet. The two men hugged... then Jericho hit Brawler with the Codebreaker! Jericho exited the ring, leaving Brawler laid out as Warfare went to a commercial break.

MATCH THREE

Eli Drake's theme hit, and the relative EBWF newcomer came to the ring first, followed by Kevin Owens who received a mixed reaction from the crowd. When the bell rang, the two men immediately went at it. Owens got the better of Drake early and leveled him with a big clothesline. Owens hit a clothesline that put Drake in the corner, and connected with his cannonball. Drake rolled to the outside, but Owens followed after and sent him into the ring barricade repeatedly. Owens tossed Drake back inside. Drake caught Owens with a clothesline, but Owens quickly tossed Drake out of the ring again. Owens followed him out once again and charged. Drake caught him with a shoulder tackle and Owens went down.

Corey Graves: Eli Drake getting in some offense here.

Eli Drake got back into the ring, and Owens was out until the six count. He got back into the ring and caught Drake with a huge superkick that resulted in a two count. Drake hit Owens with a slap to the collarbone, and springboarded off the ropes to connect with a tornado DDT.

Mauro Ranallo: Eli Drake is fired up!

Owens got another superkick, but Drake avoided the Pop Up Powerbomb, and Owens stumbled, resulting in a quick roll up. Drake only got a two count. Owens got up and without warning hit the Pop Up Powerbomb! Owens went for the pin and got the 1..2...3!

Corey Graves: Kevin Owens has taken out Eli Drake! What a match here tonight on Warfare!

MATCH FOUR

Mauro Ranallo: There is just one spot left in the semi finals of the Tag Team Classic... will it be seized by Dean Ambrose and Tommaso Ciampa, or Randy Orton and Bobby Roode?

Ciampa came to the ring first, followed by Ambrose, Roode, and finally Randy Orton. Ambrose was the most popular with the fans, and to the delight of the crowd, he agreed to start the match for his team. Meanwhile across the ring, Roode and Orton were debating who should start for them. Roode taunted Orton as the crowd chanted “Glorious!” Orton agreed to let Roode start the match, then hit Roode with an RKO out of nowhere! The crowd were stunned, and Orton exited the ring, leaving Roode on his own.

Corey Graves: Well Mauro, we knew both this teams would struggle to co-exist... but I didn’t except to see either partnership dissolve so quickly! Roode is all on his own!

Ambrose looked amused, but he didn’t seem to want to win the match like that and he waited for Roode to get to his feet. When Roode was up, the Glorious One still looked dazed, and Ambrose shrugged, kicking him in the gut then hitting Dirty Deeds! He hooked the leg and the referee counted - 1... 2... 3!

Mauro Ranallo: Just like that, it’s over! Ambrose and Ciampa will face PJ Black and Eli Drake in the semi finals next week!

Corey Graves: If they want to make it to the final, they’ll probably have to break a sweat in that match Mauro!

Ambrose celebrated and told Ciampa “you’re welcome” before making his way to the back. Ciampa followed, leaving Roode on his own laid out in the middle of the ring.

MATCH FIVE

Phenomenal hit the PA, bringing out AJ Styles, followed by the newly re-crowned EBWF World Champion PJ Black. The two put on a clinic of a match which ultimately resulted in AJ hitting the Styles Clash on PJ and winning via pin fall. AJ had his arm raised in the center of the ring.

Corey Graves: AJ Styles just got one over on the EBWF World Champion.

Mauro Ranallo: What could that mean for Survivor Series?

Corey Graves: Hopefully, we'll learn more next Monday at Warfare!
