El Dragon Nihan def. Max the Impaler

The night kicked off with a rare and brutal singles matchup under "Falls Count Anywhere Street Fight" rules, pitting the acrobatic and intense El Dragon Nihan against the monstrous, unpredictable Max the Impaler. The chaotic stipulation allowed both competitors to take their feud outside the traditional ring ropes, bringing in weapons and using the environment as their battleground.

While some criticized the bout for its slower, more deliberate pace compared to a typical Street Fight, the violence was undeniable. Max utilized their superior size and brute force, looking to neutralize Nihan's speed advantage with punishing strikes and slams. Nihan, the underdog in this non-traditional match, managed to find openings, relying on agility to dodge Max's heavy offense. Ultimately, Nihan was able to overcome the menacing Max and secure the surprising pinfall victory.
