Episode #111 - May 12, 2024
After some fireworks, we see the crowd in the EW Warehouse on their feet as the show opens. The card flashed up on the screen as we were greeted by Gemma Foster and Sara Reece.
Melody Slayton Vs. Kimiko Hirano
Boos started to fill the Warehouse as Hirano came to the ring and posed. Slayton got a good pop from the crowd as she came out next. She was fired up and hit a shoulder tackle early on. Gemma Foster pointed out it looked like Slayton was fighting with a chip on her shoulder. Slayton looked for a brainbuster but Hirano countered into a roll up for two. Hirano popped up and caught Slayton with a stiff bicycle knee strike. Hirano started to set up for a Tiger Driver ‘97 but Slayton got free and delivered a German suplex and then her Coldfire Strike (V-Trigger)! Slayton grabbed Hirano by the hand and called for her next move as she pulled Hirano up and debuted her Welcome to the Wasteland (End of Days)! Slayton covered and picked up the pinfall.
WINNER: Melody Slayton via pinfall @ 12:47
Handshake Deal
We see Marilyn Lee Cross coming out of the office of EW’s Director of Operation Tom Carr. The two stand in the hall and shake hands before Cross leaves with a smile.
Olivia Diaz Vs. Angelica Matthews
Díaz is set to make her Empire Wrestling debut and comes down to the ring. She runs the ropes as Matthews makes a grand entrance with the spotlight on her. The two lock up to start things and Matthews pulls her hair and the referee says something to her about it. Díaz is able to land a few hard kicks on Matthews and looks for what she calls Skid Row (Running Knee Strike) but Matthews rolled out of the ring. Díaz went chasing after her and was pushed into the steel post! Matthews rolled Díaz into the ring and went for a cover, getting two. Matthews hit her big Buyout (Implant DDT) and covered for another close two. Diaz started to battle back and was able to hit Whiplash (Snapmare Facebuster)! She was fired up and tried to pull Matthews up. Diaz hit the ropes and ran into Angel’s Dream Vacation (Codebreaker) and covered for a win.
WINNER: Angelica Matthews via pinfall @ 11:39

“Spoiled” Summer Page is backstage of the Warehouse as she’s LIVE on her Instagram that plays on-screen as well.
“Spoiled” Summer Page: You all got to experience my return to the Empire Wrestling Warehouse last week. Not just any return but a successful return to Empire Wrestling. I really did feel the love on my Empire Wrestling Homecoming. I literally had goosebumps when my music hit, the crowd erupted with cheers, and I walked down the aisle to the ring to pick up a big win over Kaito Hirano. Now I may not have a match tonight but I wanted to be here to soak up all the energy in this building. Not to mention I get to watch my fellow wrestlers on this roster because like everyone else on this roster I want that Empire Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship for myself. I know, I know, I like Serena, and she is the wife of my girl Lacy but we all know this is a business and we all want to be in that number one spot.
Claire Talbot Vs. Manic
Claire Talbot was next to make her Empire Wrestling debut. She came out with a smile and made her way down. Manic appeared and crawled to the ring and rolled inside. Manic moved around the ring erratic and tried to throw Talbot off her game early as green spit dripped from Manic’s mouth. Manic charged and hit a clothesline. Talbot got up and quickly had to fight back and threw strikes. Manic sent her into the ropes and Talbot took her down with a headscissors. Talbot jumped to the middle ropes and delivered a meteora. Talbot was fired up and hit a springboard tornado DDT! Manic stuck her fingers in the eyes of Talbot as the fans booed. Manic hit Insane in the Membrane (Kneecap Brainbuster). She went to the top for Crashing Down (Double Stomp) but Talbot moved. Talbot grabbed Manic and hit a Shiranui! Talbot pointed to the corner and delivered Flawless (Double Jump Moonsault)! She hooked a leg for a pinfall win.

Blake came to the ring first and she moved around the ring. She grabbed the camera and shouted that she’s ready. The crowd was behind Ricky Rodriguez as he came to the ring with a loud pop. The two competitors faced off in a match that was quick right from the start. Rodriguez flipped her down with takedowns and armdrags. Blake was able to catch Rodriguez and deliver an exploder suplex.

In the backstage area we see Lacy Hartson standing in a pair of jeans and a shirt, ready to talk.
Lacy Hartson: On Friday night I had one hell of a match in FCW. After that match I called out Eve O’Donnell. She reopened up the stitches that Jonathan Daemon gave me a couple weeks ago and left me a mess backstage. I did a good job at hiding it from the world. I was fine. No biggie. Then I saw that Eve signed a deal with Empire Wrestling.
She rolled her eyes and scoffed.
Lacy Hartson: Evelyn, you want to do this? You’re going to tell everyone that you’re here to compete, to win titles, but you’re here to make my life hell. At FCW’s Battle Ground this Friday I take you down. I’m sorry to cut your Empire Wrestling career short. That? That’s your head-
Lacy is cut off as Eve O’Donnell approaches and the two start swinging at each other as security had to pull the apart.
Casey Grey Vs. Harper Mason
Our main event was up next as the Warehouse was rowdy. The crowd cheered for Harper Mason as she entered with the Primetime Championship on her shoulder.

They felt each other out as they tried to get the other to the mat with takedowns. They blocked armdrags and headlocks. Grey swung for a lariat and Mason ducked it and hit a big jumping neckbreaker. That allowed Mason to have an opening and she found herself flipping Grey to the mat with different suplexes.

Both were up quickly and Grey hit the Breath Mint (Forearm Smash). Grey was fried up as she pulled Mason up and delivered Racklash (Rack Attack)! Grey went into a cover and Mason kicked out at two!
