All-Star Showdown V Results

The following contains spoilers from last Saturday's pay per view.

1. Salem Cartier def. Yun Goeun with Hijack Kevorkian.
2. Mark Storm def. Savannah Taylor with Dystopia.
3. Status Quo def. The Next Level with the Beauty School Dropout.
4. Annie Dupree def. Molly Reid the Glitter Stretch.
5. Dom Harter def. Izzy Anders with the Silent Machine.
6. Fujiko Mine def. Johnny Karma with Endless Fantasy.
7. Chandler Scott def. Jimmy Page with the DNA Driver.
8. Johnny Cannon def. Zero McHannon and Tony Carmine with the Birmingham Screwdriver.

Johnny Carmine became the 16th World Champion in company history when he defeated both Zero McHannon and Tony Carmine in a Triple Threat Match. Carmine was taken out of the match early on. McHannon had delivered a back body drop, sending Carmine over the top rope. But instead of landing on his back, Carmine over-rotated and smacked head-first on the floor. It appeared later on that McHannon had the match won. But Cannon's foot was placed on the bottom rope by manager and long-time friend/associate, Quinn Goodrich. The distraction that ensued gave Cannon the time to recoup and come away with the win.

Chandler Scott avenged his sister and multiple other victims as he defeated Jimmy Page in a Chivalry is Dead Match. The encounter saw multiple weapons come into play, including the steel steps, a steel chair, glass and a railroad spike, among others. The match ended after Scott dropped Page with a DNA Driver. But Scott wasn't done. As Scott was leaving the ring, a bloodied Page was seen yelling at him to "finish the f*cking job." Scott did just that, tossing Page to the outside, launching the steel steps at his face, planting him with a Screwdriver onto the steps and then slamming the steps down across Page's face.

Dom Harter made his long awaited return to the ring to take on Izzy Anders. It was Anders who put Harter on the shelf at Final Frontier by injuring his shoulder. Harter has waited impatiently on the sidelines for the last six months and wanted one thing and one thing only upon his return: Anders. The match was brutal and hard-hitting, as you would expect between the two bitter rivals. In the end, it was Harter who gained revenge after dropping Anders with the Silent Machine for the win.

Fujiko Mine finally became Pride Champion after defeating Johnny Karma two falls to one. Both the first and second falls were decided by submissions. But it was the third that was won by Mine after breaking out the rarely seen springboard corkscrew 450 Splash. This marks Mine's second championship. She won the Mid-Atlantic Legacy Championship in 2015.

Cordy Stevenson and Dan Herrera can finally call themselves champions in FGA after defeating Ricky Valero and Luke Jackson to become the FGA World Tag Team Champions. Status Quo entered the Dynamic Duos Tournament and had to advance past all four rounds, including a win over The Blood Brothers in the Quarters (who had a first round bye) and #RubyWay in the semifinals (who had two byes). The Next Level looked to hold off their challengers. But there was no cooling off this red hot duo.
