We would like to say thank you to the fans who came to the show and donated canned food for Feed The Need In Durham. This event featured grudge matches between Liam Worldwide and Tyler Tirva, as well as Cody Deaner taking on Carter Mason. In addition, it featured the return of The Eclipse Cup Tournament where eight wrestlers compete in four singles matches and then a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match. The winner will not only win the trophy but would also receive a title opportunity against the champion of their choice.
The PWE Heritage Champion Tyler Tirva came out to compete against Liam Worldwide in a non-title match. He berated the audience and reminded them of his accomplishments in PWE and that the match is non-title as he said Liam was not entitled to a Championship match. Liam would respond to Tirva saying that he deserved his rightful rematch with Tirva. As Liam still felt he wants a rematch for the title, he reminds Tirva that he has yet to face him in a singles match as well. He would go and make a deal with Tirva, saying that if he would beat the champion, he would face him for the championship immediately after and would do it in three minutes. Tyler feeling confident agreed to the stipulation.
Match 1: Non-Title Singles Match ~PWE Heritage Champion Tyler Tirva vs Liam Worldwide - If Liam defeats Tyler Tirva, he would face him again for the title with a 3-Minute Time Limit
As the match progressed, Tirva would be the aggressor early as he punished Liam. But Liam, realizing that he has a chance to get his rematch fought back hard with everything he had. At one point, Tirva would hit the Headstand Splash from the top rope, but Liam managed to kick out. Tyler would attempt to hit the Death Valley Driver, but Liam would counter and go behind him. Tirva would try to win the match as he did at The Bash with his feet on the ropes, Liam was ready for it. Eventually, Liam would get nailed with Tirva's Death Valley Driver, but Liam kicked out again. Tirva tried to finish him off with the splash, but Liam would get his knees up and hit Tyler in the midsection and Liam would capitalize by hitting the Zig-Zag and get the three-count.
Result: Liam Worldwide def. Tyler Tirva via Pinfall at 06:53
Match 2: Singles Match with a 3-Minute Time Limit for the PWE Heritage Championship ~Liam Worldwide vs Tyler Tirva(c)
Realizing he doesn't have much time, Liam did everything he can to finish off Tirva quickly. Tirva would take out Liam and climb up to the top rope, but Liam would capitalize and catch Tirva. As they attempted a Superplex, Tirva knocks Liam off, but Liam would take Tyler out and have him crash onto the floor. Liam would try to get him back into the ring as there were less than thirty seconds left. With the time counting down, Tyler rolls out of the ring and allows the remaining seconds to expire. With this marked as a draw, Tyler Tirva would retain the Heritage Championship. Liam, however, despite not winning the title wants another shot at Tirva.

Ja'Mal Edwards Michaelsen III would kick off the Eclipse Cup Tournament facing off against the PWE Flame Champion Jewells Malone who is making history by becoming the first woman ever to participate in the Eclipse Cup Tournament. Despite Ja'Mal being the much larger opponent, Jewells showed no fear as she slapped him in the face that echoed throughout the arena. Ja'Mal would retaliate with a slap of his own and got booed by the crowd. As J.E.M. III would use his strength to his advantage, Jewells attempted to use speed and quickness to take the big man down, but she would also show some strength with a clothesline to take down J.E.M. III. Ja'Mal would berate the crowd every time they got on his nerves and continue to do damage. Jewells would fight back and eventually went for the barbed wire baseball bat, but the referee told her not to use it as she would disqualify her. As Jewells gave him the bat, the ref turns his back and Jewells capitalizes with a low-blow on J.E.M. Ja'Mal would not take it lightly and do more damage. He would drop his elbow onto the chest of Jewells and go for the cover, but Jewells kicked out. Jewells would get some momentum. She would go for the Crown Jewells from the second rope, but she could not get a good grip on Ja'Mal's head and get tossed down. Ja'Mal would attempt to finish her off with a chokeslam, but as he lifted her up, Jewells would turn and grab Ja'Mal's head and nail The Crown Jewells and get the three count. Ja'Mal would argue to the ref that it was two as he said he got the shoulder up, but the ruling still stands.

But his opponent was none other than the man who won it all last year, Jake "Heavyweight" Jones alongside April Jones in his corner.
Rodrigo attempted a cheap shot before the bell, but Jake saw it coming and used his boxing background to weaken Montana. As Rodrigo would take down Jake, he would have some words with the crowd and turn his attention to April. After exchanging words, April would have enough of it and slap Rodrigo in the face, only for Rodrigo to retaliate by knocking April down. He would get booed by the crowd as he tried to plead his case, but Jake with a look of anger on his face leaps off the apron and hits a crossbody. He would bring Rodrigo in and go for a springboard, but Montana moved out of the way and Jake would hit the canvas hard. Rodrigo would take advantage of the situation by doing more damage to the Heavyweight. He would get into the referee's face and the ref would not take it lightly as he shoved him down. Jake retaliated with suplexes using his technical and power skills. Rodrigo would stop the momentum, however. Rodrigo would lock in a Chin Lock and Jake looked to have passed out. The ref would raise Jake's hand and it would drop onto the canvas twice, but Jake would wake up and stop his hand from dropping a third time, refusing to quit. As Montana ried to finish off Jake, April would grab him by his feet. Montana would turn his back and try to get April, only for Jake to roll him up with a School Boy and gets the three-count victory. Jake now has a chance to become PWE's first repeat winner of The Eclipse Cup

Carter Mason made the claim that he left Cody Deaner lying on the mat at November Bash, referencing that he cost Deaner the PWE Heavyweight Championship to Tarik and claim to be the real King Of The Shwa. Cody Deaner would come out and tell Mason that being King Of The Shwa was better and said that he was in a giving mood that he would return to the back and make a special entrance for the crowd. He would also thank the fans for donating canned food for the food drive. He came back out to be announced as "Deaner Claus" and say that he would give the kids in the audience what they came for. So he asked for no count-outs as he wanted to fight Mason outside the ring and promised a young fan to give Carter a DDT.
Carter Mason would avoid Deaner by going in and out of the ring, making Deaner chase him, but the match would eventually begin and Deaner would keep his promise by bringing Mason to the outside. Cody asked the ref to check a fan's shoes as he would use a cane to attack Mason with it. He would then bring Mason to a seat in the crowd, and then take a sip of beer and punch Mason nine times.

Deaner fought back, but Mason continued to use underhanded tactics by gouging Deaner's eyes and using the ropes to choke him out, even going as low as kicking the rope into Deaner's groin and face. But Deaner was resilient as he knocked Mason silly. He would bring Mason up to the top turnbuckle and would signal for an Avalanche DDT off the top, but Mason would stop Deaner dead in his tracks by once again gouging the eyes.

Jewells went to roll him up to make it official, but Rage's weight was too much for her. Jake, however, would help by knocking him down, allowing Malone to get the elimination officially. Rage argued with the ref about a fast count, but as he left the ring, he and Reinbakh would fight each other all the way to the back.
