Back from the break, our broadcast colleague is standing by with Matt Jackson, who says his brother Nick is in stable condition after the attack he suffered at the hands of Villain Enterprises. A video then replays the attack from last week. Matt says that Nick will be back next week and they're going to challenge Villain Enterprises to a 6-Man Tag Team Match at HWL's first Pay Per View, inauguration. Matt says they're also going to unveil their tag team partner for that match next week and that justice will be served.

Back at ringside our next match is coming up as The Usos and The Authors of Pain make their way to the ring for the final quarterfinal contest in the Tag Team Championship Tournament.

Match #3 - HWL World Tag Team Championship Tournament - The Usos vs. Authors of Pain

Jimmy and Rezar start off for their respective tag teams and Jimmy clubs Rezar over the chest with a couple of big forearm shots, but Rezar just shrugs it off and grabs Jimmy under both arms and heaves him across the ring, sending him crashing to the mat. Jey then rushes in and jumps on Rezar's back, but Rezar simply thrusts himself forward, flipping Jey over him and driving him into the mat as well. Jimmy and Jey then rush back to their feet and connect with a Double Dropkick, this time driving Rezar back into the corner as the referee admonishes Jey and tries to get him out of the ring. Jimmy then follows up with a huge Splash on Rezar in the corner, but to no effect whatsoever as Rezar grabs Jimmy and connects with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, driving all his weight down across Jimmy's chest. Rezar then makes the tag to Akam and sets Jimmy up in position across his knee with a Backbreaker as Akam dives off the middle rope and drives his knee across Jimmy's face. Jey then charges back into the ring again, but gets drilled by a colossal Lariat from Akam. AoP then follow up with colliding Powerbombs on both the Usos and both make the cover as the referee reluctantly makes the three count and declares AoP the winners.

AoP make their way to the back and who in that locker room can stand against the colossal might of Akam and Rezar as they advance through this tournament. It'll be up to the B Team to try to stop these two monsters next week in the semifinal round. We take you now to a word from our sponsors and when we return, it's women's action.

Back from the break, our next contest is the final quarterfinal in the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament as Enzo and Austin Aries make their way to the ring.

Match #5 - HWL Cruiserweight Championship Tournament - Enzo vs. Austin Aries

The two men square off in the middle of the ring and Enzo starts things off by launching a lugie in Aries' direction and Aries ducks out of the way and gives chase as Enzo dives out of the ring and takes off at a dead sprint in circles around the outside of the ring with Aries hot on his tail. After three laps around the ring, Enzo tries to dive back in, but Aries catches him by the feet and drags him back out to the floor where he lands with a thud. Aries then pounds Enzo with a series of Axe-handle shots to the back of the neck. Aries then grabs Enzo by the legs and swings him sideways, driving the side of his head into the barricade. Aries then rolls back into the ring to stop the referee's count and rolls back out as Enzo is trying to regain his feet and Aries connects with a Dropkick to the side of the head. Aries then pulls Enzo back to his feet and over to the steel rampway and proceeds to drop him on his head with a Brainbuster on the ramp. Aries drags Enzo back up to his feet again and tosses him back into the ring, but before he can climb back in after him, Big Cass comes charging down the rampway and Aries turns just in time to get his head smashed with a Big Boot from the seven footer and the referee calls for the bell, awarding the match to Aries by disqualification.

Cass then proceeds to pummel Aries and then hoists him up in a Gorilla Press and rams his ribs into the ring post before letting him crash from that height down to the floor. Cass then gets in a series of Knee Drops to the injured ribs and now Enzo comes out on wobbly legs and joins in with a few well placed kicks. Enzo then grabs a mic and says he didn't need this crap anyway. Enzo says he already proved two years ago he was the best Cruiserweight in the business and anybody that says otherwise has just been drinking the haterade. Enzo says he has more important business to take care of than some lame Cruiserweight Tournament. He and Cass then laugh about it as they make their way to the back.

Backstage, we see the Authors of Pain having a discussion with somebody we can't see behind a curtain. Who could it be they are getting their marching orders from. Akam and Rezar then head for the showers and our camera goes over and tries to get a look at who they were talking to behind the curtain, but they've already gone and it's time we took you to another word from our sponsors.

Back from the break, it's Main Event time as Tomasso Ciampa and Adam Cole make their entrances for the final quarterfinal match in the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament.

Match #7 - HWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Adam Cole vs. Tomasso Ciampa

The two men square off and Cole tries to shoot in and grab a leg, but Ciampa dances away and boots him in the side of the jaw. Cole then tries for a Double-leg Takedown, but Ciampa blocks it and slips around behind Cole and tries for a Rear Naked Choke, but Cole ties himself up in the ropes to get out of it. Ciampa lets go, but delivers a couple of Forerarm Shivers to the kidney as a parting gift and then holds up his hands as he backs away to show the referee he's complying with his orders to break. The two men then circle each other in the middle of the ring and Cole faints another Double-Leg Takedown attempt and Ciampa goes to drop down and block it again, but Cole pulls back and connects with a Thrust Kick to the gut. Cole then follows up with a Facebuster and Ciampa stumbles backward into the corner, allowing Cole to charge across the ring and connect with a Flying Lariat in the corner, followed by a pose for the crowd and a big "ADAM COLE, BAY BAY." Cole then says he's going to end this early as he looks to target Ciampa's neck with a Brainbuster, but Ciampa fights him off with a flurry of punches to the mid-section and then a Jawbreaker. Ciampa then bounces off the ropes and connects with a Flying Boot Strike that flips Cole through the air and sends him crashing to the mat. Ciampa dives into the cover and hooks the leg, but Cole kicks out for a near fall. Ciampa quickly transitions into a Head Scissors, but Cole struggles to fight his way back up to his feet and manages to hook Ciampa around the middle as he dangles precariously with his legs wrapped around Cole's neck. Cole then tries to transition into position for the Styles Clash, but can only get one arm hooked and instead ends up driving Ciampa's shoulder into the mat with the maneuver. Cole then goes to the corner and starts to tune up the band, a la HBK as Ciampa fights to get back up to his feet and Cole goes for a Superkick and Ciampa moves to block it, but Cole anticipates this and pulls up short and instead pivots and drills Ciampa with a Discus Clothesline. Cole then dives off the middle rope as Ciampa again struggles to regain his feet and Cole drives the point of his elbow down across the back of Ciampa's neck. Cole then calls for a Package Piledriver and sets up for it, but Ciampa fights free and connects with an Enziguri to the back of the head and Cole falls through the ropes and out to the ring apron. Ciampa climbs out to the ring apron in front of him as Cole tries to clear the cobwebs loose and Ciampa charges and Spears Cole into the ring post and both men crash to the floor and Cole is writhing in pain after having his spine driven into the ring post, but both men are down. Bot Cole and Ciampa struggle to regain their feet and Ciampa slugs Cole in the gut. Cole responds with a Chop to the chest and then a Superkick that knocks Ciampa out on his feet as he struggles to hold himself up using the barricade. Cole then climbs up onto the barricade and pulls Ciampa up next to him and calls for the Brainbuster, but Ciampa kicks Cole's foot out from under him and Cole crashes down, crotching himself on top of the barricade and Ciampa follows up with a Hurricanranna to the floor. Ciampa then throws Cole back into the ring and heads up to the top rope as Cole stumbles back up to his feet. Ciampa goes for a Guillotine Leg Drop to the back of the neck, but Cole dodges out of the way and Ciampa crashes to the mat. Cole follows up with a Running Snapmere and then a Double Dropkick to the jaw and dives into the cover, but Ciampa kicks out for a near fall. Cole says enough messing around, it's time to end it and he goes for the Last Shot, but Ciampa ducks. Ciampa then rolls Cole up in a Schoolboy and almost gets the three, but Cole kicks out just in time. Cole nails one more Superkick and goes for the Panama City Sunrise, but Ciampa hooks the ropes to block it and Cole flips over and crashes to his back. Ciampa drops down into the cover and reaches back to hook the leg, but Cole counters and pulls Ciampa over into a pinning predicament. However, Ciampa rotates through and carries over backward to wind up back up on his feet and then drives his knee with the heavy brace on it right into Cole's face. Ciampa then follows up with the Fairy Tale Ending and makes the cover for the three count.

Both men remain down and out and Ciampa has survived an absolute war tonight to move on into the semifinals. He'll face Dolph Ziggler next week and all of the semifinals are set. We'll see you next week when we find out who moves on to wrestle for the titles at Inauguration.
