Eddie Kingston quotes Nas' "N.Y. State of Mind" in his promo, saying that he won't sleep on his opponent Hermit Crab "cause sleep is the cousin of death." He said that he knows what it takes to get through the CHIKARA Wrestle Factory so he wasn't going to treat his less-experienced opponent like a joke.
There were two dark (pre-show) matches, which were not included on the home video release. Alexander Henry and Jason Prime defeated Sons Of Ulaid (Bas Ban and Rory Coyle), and Soldier Ant defeated HT Drake.
The Nightmare Warriors (Hallowicked/Frightmare/Icarus/Obariyon/Kodama) put their focus on CHIKARA Grand Champion Princess Kimberlee's injured knee, with the intention of softening it for her defense the following night against Hallowicked. Kimberlee won the match for her team by pinning Icarus with the Alligator Clutch, giving her a pinfall on another former CHIKARA Grand Champion. The other theme of the match was the tension between the CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas (Tag Team Champions) N_R_G (Hype Rockwell and "The Generator" Race Jaxon) and Los Ice Creams (Ice Cream Jr. and El Hijo del Ice Cream), since Los Ice Creams held a Golden Opportunity from Crown and Court (Kimberlee/Jervis Cottonbelly/Los Ice Creams) winning the 2015 CHIKARA Challenge of the Immortals tournament, which meant that they could challenge for the titles whenever they wanted.
Featured the first-ever singles match between Fire Ant and Ophidian. Fire Ant won, scoring his second point toward contention for the CHIKARA Grand Championship and erasing the three points Amasis had at the time.
