YOLO Twins and Ken Warren
The Network
PWR Tag Team Title Match: The YOLO Twins (Yohann and Logan Ollores) © (w/ Ken Warren) vs. The Network (Alexander Belmonte III and James “Idol” Martinez)
The Tag Team Champs arrived ringside with their belts nowhere to be found after it was stolen at the previous show. The Network arrived at ringside with the belts and ring announcer Pocholo Estrada told them, under the PWR Board’s instructions, to hand over the belts back to the Twins before the contest began.
Uhm…
AB3 dominated the early goings of the match. The YOLO Twins would isolate James “Idol” Martinez for the majority of the match with frequent tags and double teams. Idol used a desperation (without AB3’s assistance) bodyslam before he tagged out to AB3. Ken Warren interfered and allowed the twins to blast their opponents with their tag team title belts. Idol miraculously kicked out after a belt shot. Idol wouldn’t fare so well after the twins delivered a double super kick and pinned him with the Two-Night Stand.
And still…
The champs laid out their opponents after the match to prove that the YOLO Twins are at the top of the PWR tag team mountain.
Chino Guinto
Thank You, Chino/Warren’s Challenger
The PHX Champion Chino Guinto went ringside to announce his injury status. He said that he will be out for 8 to 10 months due to his ACL tear. He promised that he will be back, better, bade and more #Blessed than ever. He left ringside to a “Thank You, Chino” chant from the crowd.
Ken Warren appeared moments upon Chino’s exit and said he was promised a match after Guinto couldn’t compete due to injury. PWR Ring Announcer Poch Estrada confirmed that he did have a match and it was against Dax Xaviera.
