Kimberly Hart: You want to know what they’re going to say about me, Kyle Reddick? They’re going to say that Kimberly Hart is moving on in this rising star Tournament. And you know what they’re going to say about you? Nothing. Yeah, that’s right - nothing. They are going to say nothing because you mean nothing.
She bites her lower lip gently and gives off a smile.
Kimberly Hart: And when you think about this tournament, they’re going to think of me. They’re going to think of everything I’ve done and how far I came and I’m not going to stop until I have that rising championship around my waist. Yeah, you heard me, correctly.
She tilts her head to the side as she giggles.
Kimberly Hart: And when we step in that ring, you’re going to be a message for all those that are still in this thing. So, Kyle Riddick? Be ready. Because in just a few minutes, I’m going to hurt you and you better believe that I’m going to hurt you badly.

Backstage
Skylar Sweeney is feeling pretty good about herself now that she has continued to maintain her pace. She’s reflecting on the fact that she has made the final four of the Rising Stars tournament and she doesn’t take too long to speak her mind.
Skylar Sweeney: Every time I’ve come out on television, I’ve said what I am going to do and I have stuck to the script on that so to speak. The fact that I am in the final four of the Rising Stars tournament says it all in my book. Xander Hayes was never going to be easy, but when it came right down to it, I did exactly what I said I was going to do and I managed to beat him. I’m in that final four now. But believe me…
Skylar takes a pause as that fierce intensity starts to burn through her.
Skylar Sweeney: I’m not going to be satisfied with just being in the final four, damn it! I am in this whole thing to win it and sure, it will be far from easy and I sure as s*** didn’t get the greatest draw as far as this event is concerned, but I am in the main event and it sure as hell counts for something. To my three opponents, all of you had your chance in that tournament and all of you would ultimately fall short. I look at this match knowing that the odds aren’t in my favor just on sheer number alone, but I know that if I were to go into my semifinals match losing a trap match like this, then I might as well just hand my opponent a bye to the finals to be honest…
Skylar pauses and rolls her eyes at the thought for a moment.
Skylar Sweeney: I know that sounds harsh and that may be a little self critical, but the high expectations that I have of myself aren’t going to go away. Stanton, Ward and Maddox…
Oh god, that sounds like a law firm doesn’t it…
Skylar scoffs.
Skylar Sweeney: You three are the ones that are going to be in my way tonight and trust me when I say that when this match is all said and done, the one that is going to end up with the biggest match, the biggest win and the biggest momentum going into next week is going to be me. I’ll make sure that I do my part no matter the stacked deck that is going to be in my path tonight. So to you three wannabe cowboys, you best learn how to saddle up real quick because I am going in there knowing that failure is unacceptable and it is not an option on a night like this.
Skylar takes a deep breath and then with that, she makes her exit from the scene.
Match 5: Skylar Sweeney vs Joseph Stanton vs Julian Ward vs Grant Maddox
The arena is buzzing with anticipation as the fatal four-way match kicks off. The camera pans across a modest fairground venue, where fans are eagerly chanting for their favorites: Skylar Sweeney, Joseph Stanton, Julian Ward, and Grant Maddox.

Skylar and Grant team up to take on Julian and Joseph, demonstrating impressive chemistry with a series of quick tandem moves, culminating in a snap dragon suplex from Skylar onto Julian.
Seo Hyung Kwon chimes in, "That was a fantastic display of teamwork! Skylar is showing her prowess right out of the gate!" Biff Franklin adds, "You’ve got to wonder how long their alliance will last in this chaotic matchup!" Just as Skylar hooks Julian’s leg for a pinfall, Joseph breaks it up with a jarring STO, throwing both opponents back to square one.
The momentum shifts again when Joseph pulls out a surprise, executing an Iron Verdict STO on Grant that brings the crowd to their feet. Near-falls begin to rack up as each competitor takes turns scoring near-pin attempts. Julian nails Skylar with a Ward Directive knee strike, but she kicks out at two! The audience collectively gasps as the stakes rise.
As the match carries on, Grant whips Julian into the corner, following up with a series of shoulder thrusts. He then attempts his Maddox Law but Julian reverses, sending Grant crashing into Skylar. Both grapple to get up, and in a moment of desperation, Skylar hits a rolling sole butt on Joseph, stunning him. She quickly transitions to her Cattle Clutch submission hold, applying pressure while maintaining her grip on the mat.
Joseph fights valiantly, but the alert referee sees his hand inching toward the ropes. As he begins to tap, Julian dives onto them both, breaking the hold just in time! The energy in the fairground explodes—with fans on their feet, shouting for their favorites. Biff Franklin accurately observes, "What resilience from everyone involved! You can see the hunger for victory in each of these young talents!"
With bodies now exhausted from the grueling battle, the competitors struggle to stay on their feet. Grant and Joseph exchange blows, each looking for a final edge. Grant counters with a Standard Driver, but before he can pin, Skylar delivers a perfectly executed Calgary Crash to Joseph, pinning him down with lightening speed. The referee counts—one, two, three!
In a dramatic conclusion, Skylar’s strategic submissions and adventurous spirit earn her a well-deserved victory in an intense battle of wills and skill. The crowd erupts as she stands tall, celebrating the moment with joyous disbelief.
