Victory Pro Wrestling celebrated their 18th year with a steel cage, new champions, and the return of an old friend.
The show opened with Bryce Donovan coming down to the ring to cut a promo. Donovan spoke about how even though Jack Tomlinson stole his Victory Pro Wrestling Championship, he’s still the VPW Champion. He then tells Tomlinson that he can hold onto Donovan’s title because Tomlinson can’t bear the weight of being a real champion. He then goes on to say that tonight is Tomlinson’s final chance to become Victory Pro Wrestling Champion.
VPW NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

Dante Drago made his way down to the ring next, accompanied by Jack Tomlinson. However, Drago sends Tomlinson to the back and goes at it on his own.

Cole takes out Drago with a huge high-risk move, and then attempts his finisher inside the ring. Drago, however, is able to counter and the two men continue to go at it.

Cole lands his finisher on Drago, but out of nowhere Jake Lang comes out and makes the save. At the end, Drago uses the belt and pins Cole to retain his Victory Pro Wrestling New York State Championship. After the match, Cole acknowledges the fans before leaving.
