For the last fight of the day, Kori Raine, AWGP Heavyweight champion was supposed to defend her title against the challenge "The Horn". Unfortunately, The Horn had to cancel, and instead, replacing her was:
She is the Pearl Award winning single combatant from this years Grand World Tournament... Neiva Dawnblood!
What followed was a fight which seemed to mostly take place outside the ring, and not inside it. With guest referee and surprise opponent, Kori started off with a charge and rage not seen previously in this tournament.
The quick charge is quickly turned against the charging champion, Neiva slamming her forearm against Kori's head over and over, but instead of defending herself against this, Kori seems more angered then hurt and starts pounding Neiva's head as well. For a moment, that is what happens. The two women just hitting each other in the head.
And they are not done trading blows, as Neiva managed to deliver a hand-chop against Kori's chest, the larger woman simply returns it in force, sending the smaller woman stumbling back and she is quickly seized by Kori who tries to dive at the unsteady Neiva, who manages to turn the situation around and fling the charging Kori into the ropes.
The moment Kori hits the ropes she bounces back, letting herself be flung violently against Neiva who in turn starts charging Kori, arm stretched out. The champion is hit on the neck by the outstretched arm and with the ground shaking the champions body hits the ground.
Neiva takes a second to recompose herself then leaps on top of Kori, sending blows from fists and forearms into the champions face and upper chest, but again Kori seems angrier than hurt by the series of blow and manages to swing wildly at Neiva amidst the blows making the elven woman retreat slightly.
Kori rolls out under the ropes of the ring, getting a bit of breath back but is quickly followed by Neiva who wants to press her charge. Neiva is met by Kori who grabs a fistful of Neiva's hair and slingshots her into the pillar of the nearby shack, sending the smaller woman into the grass.
With Neiva already down, Kori grabs her by the hair and throws her on to the nearby spectator stand, the elven woman doing little to resist as her body crashes into the hard wooden seating arrangement. With little effort Kori then picks her and repeats it with the next section of spectator seating, throwing her against the hard wood and sending the spectators scrambling for safety.
Finally deciding to get the fight back into the ring Kori drags the almost limp body of Neiva under the ropes and back into the ring and proceeds to pummel and abuse the poor woman.
At this point the fight took a strange turn and almost turned into a sadistic display on Kori's part. From clawing at eyes, to biting, breaking fingers and despite Neiva fighting a brave fight then she is eventually choked and passes out.

Seizing the initiative El Panda Gigante closes the distance to Aumellia, sending a flurry of blows against her chest, making her retreat towards the corner of the ring where the Pandaren sends a blow from his forearm against her face, while grabbing her arm and flinging her across the ring into the ropes of the other corner.
As Aumellia hits the ropes in the other end of the ring she instantly picks up speed and reverses her momentum sending her flying back against the Pandaren, feet first, delivering a kick to Gigante's gut, making him bend over.
Aumellia quickly grabs the Pandaren in a chin lock, making him cry out in pain and despite her holding on for awhile then he slowly manages to break free, but just before he does, Aumellia lets go and launches herself up into the air with a leap, hoping to hit the Panda hard and deliver a BKO, but the Pandaren, having anticipated this pushes her away from him, sending her against the ropes where she once more reverses the momentum and comes flying back at the Pandaran.
The Pandaren grabs the returning elf, suplexing her and sending her headfirst into the mat, and follows up by getting on top of her, pinning her down against the mat.
At the count of two Aumellia manages to break free enough to stop the count and Gigante pulls her up to deliver another blow to his opponent, but as he does she delivers a hard and quick sucker punch right to his snout. Stunned and surprised the Pandaren has little chance as Aumellia lifts up the Pandaren and brings him down on the mat with a powerslam and quickly follows up by pinning the Pandaren to the mat.
A second away from the count of three Gigante manages to break free of her pin and frustrated Aumellia walks out of the ring, reaches under the spectator stand and pulls out a... foldable table. The referee quickly instructs her to not bring the table into the ring, or the Pandaren will win the title, instead Aumellia walks back inside the ring, grabs the still recovering Pandaren and drags his snout along the ringside, snout against the ropes.
Finding more strength, the Pandaran manages to clasp his hands together and deliver a powerful blow to the woman’s face and shoves his shoulder into her gut and flinging her over the ropes for a back body drop. He then drags her up, positions himself with her head between his thighs and delivers a piledriver upon the woman. The second time for her this night.
El Panda Gigante quickly lands on her, pinning her, and as she (true to style) gets free just before the count of three, he climbs the ropes ready to perform his signature move, the Brew Belly Bomb but as he sails through the air, Aumellia manages to roll out of the way at the very last moment, sending the Pandaren belly first right into the mat, knocking the air out of him.
Aumellia quickly grabs the groggy Pandaren and delivers another brutal blow to him, sending him into the mat and another pin which ends as the Pandaren breaks free just as the referee is about to count to three.
Aumellia, frustrated at this point grabs the Pandaren and drags him out under the ropes. Once outside the ring, and the mat, she throws the Pandaren on the ground, face first with herself on top, the lack of mat outside of the ring making the impact sound more wet than what is comfortable to hear.
Not finished yet, Aumellia continues to slam the Pandaren fast first into the hard ground before she gives him a moment to get back up, only for her to grab him again and as she aims to send him crashing through the table she put up earlier, and on to the ground below, the Pandaren manages to reverse the situation - turn the table - on her and sends both of them crashing into the table, with her first, splinters and table-parts flying everywhere.
For a moment they both lie there before the referee manages to rouse them enough to get them both back into the ring where the fight continues. Both fighters barely conscious at this point, battered and beaten.
A quick few exchanges of blows, an attempt from Aumellia to leap and knock out the Pandaren is reversed and almost gets her a third piledriver, turning into an elbow strike to the Pandaren's gut, and suddenly Aumellia is down and El Panda Gigante is back in the ropes, executing his signature move once again - the Brew Belly Bomb. This time it lands and connects. Several hundred kilos of Pandaran "muscles" lands on top of Aumellia and she is out for the count.
The winner of the tournament and first AWGP Intercontinental champion is El Panda Gigante
