After that bout was over, Blake Christian teased cashing in his Grab the Brass Ring contract on the reigning GCW Champion. Christian will be under the same roof as Slamovich again tonight to renew his rivalry with Alex Zayne. Elsewhere, Komander was penciled in to face Joey Janela, but "The Bad Boy" has been forced to pull out of that clash due to a nasty burn he recently suffered during a match in Japan.
