Jamboree
Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York,/USA
Show opens with The EAM Champion; Kenny Omega cutting a promo. He wants to send a message to everyone out there. There is no doubt, he is the greatest wrestler in the world. And he keeps on proving it, time after time. But you see, to keep being on the top, there has to be someone under him, and he understand that if he is going to keep his place, he needs competitors. There is no doubt many great competitors out there, and to ne honest, many of them are right here in EAM Promotions, but he doesn't really see any of them being able to dethrone him. Then he gets interrupted, the screen suddenly turns and we see a distorted landscape, where the sun suddeny rises. It almost looks like the flag of Japan, with the sun being red over the landscape. Then someone talks in what has to be Japanese. It's not translated.... We go to the Jamboree vignette....
Singles Matchup
Orange Cassidy Vs Trevor Lee
Great match in this one with Cassidy getting the win after a diving headbutt. Lee hits a powerslam but just not enough for the win.
We go backstage where we once again hook up with The EAM Champion. He's now seated opposite Emil A. in the chairman's office. The EAM Title are placed on the desk in front of him. Emil A. tells Omega that he should know that he's very proud to have Oenga on his roster, as he knows how many comopanies really want him, and he's honored that Omega chose to stay here. And as he knows that title in front of him is the token of Emil A.'s grattitue. But, Omega got to understand, that he runs a wrestling company, and it's always been the most important to him, to give the fans the greatest wrestling on the planet. Every week of the year! And to do that, the grand price of the company needs to be defended, because that's what's it's all about in the end. To be the greatest. To be the champion. And Omega also know, how glad Emil A. is that just he is the champion, because after all, it's the grandest prize in EAM, it's not for everyone to hold. And he don't think he needs to reminds Omega that if he actually manages to be EAM Champion at the time Grandslam 14 kicks off in Chicago. He knows who he will be facing. It's no other way. Such a opportunity cannot go to waste. But that is, if Omega actually is champion at the time. But you know what? Emil A. wants to give Omega a fair chance. You see, with only two PPV's left before Grandslam, he is willing to let Omega defend the title only once. But he never said it's going to be easy. There are four competitors in EAM right now that Emil A. thinks deserves a shot at the EAM title, but when that is said, he never said they deserved a shot at Grandslam. So, at Heating Up, Emil A. will book these four in a tag team match, as this is four men that doesn't necessarely work well together. The winning team will get a shot at Omega's title at Night Of The Slammies. Everything Omega has to do is to retain his title in a Triple Threat Match at Night Of The Slammies, and he will be going into Grandslam as EAM Champion.
As we get back from commercial break we go to ringside where Candyfloss and Piper Niven has been teamed up for tonight, Both girl gets good reactions from the crowd, but their opponents however gets an even bigger pop when they walk out on the stage. They haven't been seen in a very long time, and some might even have forgot EAM's lesbian couple. But they are back now, and they look very determined to show the new girls that they are not the ones to be messing with...
Tag Team Matchup
Candyfloss & Piper Niven Vs Scarlett Bordeaux & Taeler Hendrix
Big tag match here. Thought Hendrix and Taeler broke up. NXT UK get the win in this one. Viper and Floss get the win. All look good though.
We get a promotion video for the upcoming PPV, that will be the 9th installment in the Heating Up cycle. This years PPV will be live from Providence, Rhode Island. And it's the first time ever EAM Promotions does a PPV in Rhode Island. About time then! We then get the announcement that someone will make their return on that PPV, and it might actually be more than one person. We also get an announcement regarding The EAM Tag Team Titles. Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix will be defending their titles at the event against Ricochet and Aleister Black! Then we understand what the chairman Emil A. was talking about earlier with Kenny Omega. Because it's announced that at Heating Up, it will be a tag team match featuring Tommaso Ciampa & Moose, facing off against Willie Mack & Brian Cage, and the winning team gets a shot at The EAM Championship at Night Of The Slammies Vol.9!!!
Singles Matchup (Non-Title)
" Hangman " Adam Page Vs " The Villain " Marty Scurll
Couple of big matches to go along with Jax/Ronda at Heating Up. Strange this match happening when they’re partners. They have a competitive match. 15 minutes of back and forth action but at the end of the match Page Lariat gets the 3 count.
As we get back from commercial break, we go backstage where we hook up with Renee Young and The EAM Womens Champion; Becky Lynch. Young asks her what Becky thinks about the current situation going on in the womens division right now, and who she thinks deserves a title shot at the upcoming PPV. Becky says it's hard to get around Nia Jax (no pun intended) but Renee Is right, the womens division is on fire right now, and not only that, as we saw earlier tonight, we got new girls getting in and making an impact as well, so it's definetely interesting being champion right now. But as to who deserves a title shot? It's not really up to her to decide, but as everyone could see at The Gauntlet Roulette, it doesn't matter, as she will beat the living crap out of anyone they throw at her!
Singles Matchup
Nia Jax Vs Penelope Ford
Clearly Charlotte is next in line but Jax is busy with Ronda it seems. Great match here and Penelope is one of the best in the world so hard to do this. Both look good but at the end of the match Jax nails the 300 pound splash for the 3 count.
After the match, Nia Jax loses it and attacks ring announcer Melissa Santos. She first irishwhips her into the barricade, before she lifts her up and throws her at the ringpost. Everyone witnessing the happenings are in shock. Suddenly, running down the rampway, it's Mickie James! She takes Nia by surprise and knocks her down with a thez press, throwing punches to Nia's face, busting her open! Security comes to the aid and tries to get Mickie off Nia and manage but the harm is already done. Nia is almost out. Mickie throws off the security and gets down to Melissa, helping her up. EMT's are coming to the aid as well, helping both Nia and Melissa. They manage to get Nia back on her feet after a while. She's got nosebleeds and a blue eye. Then, she gets eye contact with Mickie. If looks could kill. She charges for Mickie, but....from out of nowhere. Chair shot to Nia by Melissa! Nia does not get down, but focus her attention on Melissa now. And she is furious! She charges for Melissa, but once again gets cut short. This time by a devastating Mick Kick from Mickie. And this time it's enough to make her fall. We cut to commercial break with Mickie helping Melissa up the ramp, while EMT's and security are gathered around Nia Jax on the floor.....
Singles Matchup(Non-Title)
Adam Cole Vs MJF
Great match from both of them with a lot of high flying, signature moves and finisher attempts but at the end of the match Cole Panama gets the 3 count...
Whoever wins it, MJF grabs a microphone and announce that he is cashing in The Running Mate Championship for a shot at Cole's Ornate Prime Title at Heating Up!
Another big match signed
