Charles Mason attacked Broadway as he was coming out, choking him out with a towel. He tossed Broadway off the stage into the crowd below.
Low Ki laid waste to Mason, working him over with strikes. Mason tried to choke Ki, who snapped him arm and draped it over the ropes with an armbar. Ki went to the floor, where he faced off with Ramirez. Mason snatched Ki and smashed him hard into the barricades. Ki was worked over on the floor and sent HARD into the ring post. Ki was rolled back into the ring for a two count.
Ki came back to grab Mason with an cross armbreaker and then stomped away at him in the corner. Ki stretched him with a Dragon sleeper variation but Mason made to the ropes. Ki went for a second but Mason backed him in the corner. He was able to drill Ki with a right hand while Ki was on the ropes. They battled on the top with Ki knocking him upside down. Ki went for the stomp but Ramirez got involved. Ki knocked him back down but Mason spit in Ki's face, then kicked him off the top, crashing him down into Ramirez on the floor.
Mason continued to assault Ki. The announcers wondered if Broadway would return to the ring. He nailed a series of elbows to Ki's shoulder and neck. He twisted the neck, trying to force a submission. Ki came back and poked him in the eye. Ki busted Madison's nose with some of the hard shots that followed, drilling the hell out of Mason. Ki went for the fisherman's buster but Mason slipped out of the attempt and drilled him with a hard clothesline for a two count. Mason told Ki to die and kept working him over. He ripped at Ki. Ki came back with a Mandible Claw, then snapped his head into the buckles.
Ki ripped at Mason's head and mouth. He was setting up to wipe out Mason when the lights went out. It was The United Empire, TJP and Jeff Cobb revealed, when the lights came back on. They attacked Ki. Cobb nailed Tour of the Islands. The story is that TJP is mad he lost the title in the past. He nailed the Mamba Splash.
Mason put a choke on the unconscious Low Ki and the referee ruled a submission.
Your winner and new HOG Crown Jewel Champion, Charles Mason!
Ki made that poor man earn the title, beating him pretty damn roughly and, I am pretty sure, breaking his nose. The match was very good until the angle at the end.
United Empire returned and choked out Ki with his own tie. The announcers teased Will Ospreay was behind the attack.
The Briscoes hit the ring, setting the stage for the main event.
