Latimer knocks on the door, but no one answers. Latimer lets himself into Chez Stevens and is greeted by a woman on a swing who has never heard of Aron Stevens.

Stevens appears on the stairs and welcomes Latimer. Before they do what Latimer came to Chez Stevens to do, Stevens mentions that it’s an honor to have Thom in his house. He offers to give Latimer a tour of the house. Latimer begrudgingly obliges.

Stevens hits a gong and takes Latimer outside. Stevens talks about finding peace, joy, and happiness. Stevens has one more thing to show Latimer. Stevens takes him down a hallway with plants. A payphone is on the wall. Latimer picks it up and it’s his mom. The connection isn’t good, though. Stevens walks away and Latimer meets him in his Zen Room. Stevens is meditating and asks his ancestors to be with him and Latimer on this day of battle.

Once Stevens is done meditating, he asks Latimer if he’s ready. Once they go out the door, anything can happen. Latimer is ready. Stevens goes back to meditating before leading Latimer to their battle area.

Winner and STILL NWA World Heavyweight Champion: Thom Latimer

Alyssa Marino has the results for the Territorial President. Joe Cazana has made a comeback to secure the presidency. A lot of speculation has been had about Cazana’s tactics, but he’s the president for now. They go to Cazana live, but he’s licking his wounds from the Blood N’ Grits Street Fight. He can’t believe he won, but once it settles in - Cazana thanks everyone for voting for him. Without Cazana the NWA territory system wouldn’t survive. The NWA as a whole wouldn’t survive. Cazana believes that he’s going to be a great president, hurt jaw and all. The NWA is finally going to start doing things the right way…by the book.
