Prestige Pro Wrestling
Live from Perth, Australia
RAC Arena
We start the show as we are introduced to our new announce team of Maura Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness!
Mauro welcomes fans, and introduces Nigel, who graciously takes in the welcome and accolades offered by his broadcast colleague. Mauro talks about how his former broadcast partner recently got a promotion, and that leads to the new General Manager of PPW, Steve Corino, making his entrance.
Corino says it is great to finally be here in Australia, and they have a huge show for these fans here tonight! He says under his new management and vision, he hopes Prestige Pro Wrestling will reach heights only previously dreamed about, as "The King of Old School" wants to usher in a NEW generation of greatness in the sport of professional wrestling! With that, he hands the microphone over to Jeremy Borash, the ring announcer for the evening.
With that, Borash introduces the first competitors of the evening, and this show is on the road!
**********
"The Alpha Female" Jazzy Gabert defeats Chelsea Green in a pretty one sided contest, delivering the Dominator to get the pinfall. After the match, Toni Storm makes her way out to the stage in a debut moment! Storm says she is here in PPW to make an impact, tonight, she wants to challenge Jazzy Gabert to a fight at "Downfall" in Melbourne! Jazzy accepts the challenge, and we have a big women's showdown coming at "Downfall"!
"Hangman" Adam Page defeats Ilja Dragunov that saw the scrappy Russian fall to the Rite of Passage. After the match, Stokely Hathaway makes his way out and calls Page a coward for attacking WALTER at the last show, and says he doesn't have the sack to take on the greatest wrestler in the world, which leads "The Ring General" WALTER to make his way through the crowd and into the ring behind Page, giving him a massive Lariat as he turns to see what's behind him! Stokely slides a chair into the ring, and WALTER proceeds to pick up Page and deliver the Austrian Death Driver (Fire Thunder Driver) onto the chair to send a powerful message!

Corino says that at "Downfall", he has hand picked the men who will compete in the six man elimination match for the number one contedership to the MUW World Heavyweight title!
