MATCH ONE
Pyro shot off in the Pacific Coliseum as the EBWF Crowd inside popped loudly for the start of Warfare.

Mauro Ranallo: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to EBWF Warfare! I'm Mauro Ranallo, alongside Nigel McGuinness.

Nigel McGuinness: Thank you, Mauro. Tonight we find out who will be the finalists and the semi-finalists in the Queen and King of the Ring tournaments. This is sure to be an amazing night!

Liv's music hit and the crowd popped for her as she came down to the ring. She slid in under the bottom rope and awaited her opponent, Mickie James. Mickie got a chorus of boos from the fans, but as she had been doing lately, she remained laser focused on Liv and ignored the crowd.

Mauro Ranallo: Mickie Mizanin has shown a bit of a vicious streak here lately.

Nigel McGuinness: I wouldn't want to cross her.

The bell rang. Both women locked up.

Mauro Ranallo: This one is on!

Liv went to work on Mickie's arm, but James countered out with a cartwheel and a leg sweep. James in turn went to work on Morgan's arm, hitting Morgan with a monkey flip when she tried to counter out. Mickie hit a snap mare and followed it up with a low dropkick that's only good for a one count.

Nigel McGuinness: Mickie trying to put Liv away here.

Mickie hit a neckbreaker and went up to the top rope, but Morgan was right there, sweeping her off the second turnbuckle and down to the mat. Morgan pulled Mickie's hair and used as much of the five count as she could. Mickie tried to fight back, but Morgan hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker before locking in a body scissors.

Mauro Ranallo: Liv knows Mickie won't play fair so she's trying to beat her at her own game here.

Mickie connected with a couple of big forearms to Morgan's head and began to mount her comeback. Morgan charged James in the corner, but Mickie stopped her and hit a hurricanrana. Mickie went back to the top and hit a Thesz press. She tried for a DDT, but Morgan fought back and countered with a Northern Lights suplex. Morgan went for the scissors kick, but she missed and Mickie connected with her big DDT. Mickie went for the pin.

Mauro Ranallo: Up next, we've got Damian Priest versus Tomohiro Ishii... which one of these EBWF newcomers will book their place in the King of the Ring semi-finals?

"Stone Pitbull" hit and the crowd cheered as Tomohiro Ishii made his way to the ring. When Ishii was in the ring, "Nightmares" hit and Damian Priest came out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. When Priest was in the ring, he squared up to Tomohiro Ishii, towering over him.

Nigel McGuinness: Look at the size difference between these two superstars, Mauro. Damian Priest is 12 inches taller than Tomohiro Ishii!

Nigel McGuinness: Great counter by Ishii to take the big man down!

Ishii leaned over Priest and punched him in the head several times, then pulled him to his feet and set him up for a vertical drop brainbuster. He lifted Priest up... but Priest countered it, landing on his feet behind Ishii and hitting a rolling cutter!

Nigel McGuinness: The Apex Predator is used to this kind of pressure, and he's been on quite a role lately.
