Live from The Hammerstein Ballroom, New York/USA


Show opens with a promo from MJF and his fellow members in The Dynasty. MJF talks about how the TV championship title belt has been grimed and filthied. It's bearer is not worthy. MJF has had enough of Double C. For a while he was like an annoying kid, but when he took the tv title away from him, he made it pretty personal. MJF continues with saying that it doesn't matter who holds that title, as long as it is one worthy of holding it. And the only ones he sees worthy of such a prize are himself and all his fellow members of The Dynasty. So...MJF puts down a challenge for Claudio at Heating Up. Claudio, against all the five of them. The one who pins Claudio gets the title. But, if Claudio wins, something that seems pretty unlikely, but still....MJF is known to be a fair man. They will not claim another title match as long as Claudio is champion. And that is a promise you can trust, because MJF never breaks a promise....We cut to the Jamboree vignette...

Awesome idea. Thought maybe a turmoil but it makes sense this way.

Tag Team Matchup
War Raiders Vs Adam Cole & Roderick Strong

Solid 15 minutes of action. Both teams look great getting in loads of double teaming big bumps and spots with signature and finishing moves but at the end of the match Cole Panama gets the 3 count on Raiders. Another win.

As Melissa is about to announce or next match of the evening, she gets interrupted by her own boyfriend. Brian makes his way into the ring, and he apologize to Melissa, then says that he needs 3 minutes, as he's got something he wants to say. Melissa hands him the microphone and Brian wastes no time. He shoot's on the current situation around in the locker room, and the hall of champions. Shawn Michaels as EAM Champion? What are you kidding me?! Anyways, he's not after beating Shawn's sorry ass, as he is up to a real challenge. That's why he chalenged Donovan Dijakovic to a match for his Ornate Prime Championship at Heating Up! Music suddenly cranks the arena speakers, as Donovan wastes no time answering the challenge. He makes his way out on the stage. He poses on the stage, makes eye contact with Cage, puts the Ornate Prime Title over his head, then he nods at Brian. It seems his challenge are accepted..

Big match.

Singles Matchup
PAC Vs Will Osprey

Awesome match and I feel like they’re wrestled a lot over the years. Pac with moonsaults, 450 splashes and SSP’s while Will with the Ozcutter and Decapitator gets the 3 count for the win.Will lars him down after the match to make a statement.

We go backstage where we hook up with Orange Cassidy as he walks down the corridor. He gets stopped by the general manager. Orton informs Cassidy that if he wants to cash in his title for a title match against HBK, it will either be at Heating Up, or if he wants a title match against HBK at Grandslam, he will have to defend the title at Heating Up, then cash it in after the PPV, before Grandslam 15. Because of the 28 Days rule. Besides, it might not even be Shawn that is EAM Champion at Grandslam...We cut back to the arena for our main event of the evening.

Wonder who his opponent will be. Knowing Orton he’ll make it himself.

Tag Team Matchup
Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi) Vs Darby Allin & Jimmy Havoc

Awesome match from both teams. Lot of crazy action and big spots. Some hardcore style spots in as well. At the end the much more talented Lovers get the win after a Bushi Road but Allin gets a coffin drop onto everybody outside the ring.

We get a promo from Piper Niven and Session Moth Martina, who speaks about how they have dominated the womens division since their arrival, and it doesn't seem like any of the active roster members are able to beat them. Not that they are complaining offcourse. But, it would be a shame not to have The EAM Womens Tag Team Champions absent on the last ever Heating Up PPV card wouldn't it? So...they want to put down a challenge, to anyone former, current or new tag team, that think they can beat them. Because counting the match they won the titles, they have been sucessful in 8 of 8. And they are still counting. Who can take down the most dominant womens tag team in the wrestling business right now?

Have to wait and see.

Singles Matchup
Velveteen Dream Vs Timothy Thatcher

Pretty good hard hitting match. Dream has fallen a lot but that’s the way it goes in EAM. He needs this win. Maybe even go back to Pride. Thatcher throws him around with his big style and bumps. At the end of the match however, Dream with the experience and top rope elbow for the 3 count. Not happy after the match and looks at that Grandslam logo wondering if he’ll even be in a match this year!.

Before our main event, we get a promotional video, hyping up what is scheduled to be the last ever Heating Up PPV in EAM History. We see the already announced matches, then we get the announcements about a couple of more matches, making them official for the card. Claudio has answered The Dynasty's challenge, willing to single handedly shut the mouth up on every one of them. We also get the announcement that Orange Cassidy will be defending is Running Mate Championship, as he has decided to wait until after Heating Up with cashing in the title, if he still has it that is, to get a title match against Shawn Michaels. But, to manage that, he will have to retain the title at Heating Up, against Drew McIntyre!

Oh makes sense, tough opponent. Wonder what PPV will replace Heating Up or it will be one last PPV.

Singles Matchup
Keith Lee Vs Aleister Black

Big main event here. The bell rings and here we go!. Lee wants to make a statement to Shawn who’s definitely watching this somewhere. Fans love him of course. BLACK MASS....LEE DUCTS OUT THE WAY...BAAAAAM SPIRIT BOMB....HE HOLDS ONTO IT....BAAAAAAM THE BBC...COVER...1....2...3 DONE.....! OMG. LEE JUST BURIED BLACK IN SECONDS. That is insane. What a message to HBK!. Nobody expected that. Lee does standing moonsaults and pushups after the match. This is gonna be one tough match for Lee!
