A video montage featuring all the featured wrestlers and feuds coming into the event are shown, set to the tune of "No Halos In Hell", by Cyhra.
"Welcome! To Dominion Pro Wrestling! And welcome... to BLACK! MASS!"
The camera quickly gave a pan around the arena, showing off the sold-out crowd at the TD Garden. As the music faded out, the camera switched to the commentary team. "I'm Scott Leroux, With me once again is Christian Young, and right here, tonight, in Boston Massachusetts, we are going to see the evolution of DPW, which began last time at Genesis, go further. What we see tonight is going to lead us into our network program, Mayhem! We'll be not only crowning the inaugural Hellfire Championship, but we'll be setting up the main event of the first episode of Mayhem, by deciding the four participants in the Ladder Match which will crown the first ever DPW World Heavyweight Champion!"
"Scott, the ramifications of tonight will be felt throughout DPW for a long time to come. The Coven is trying to make their mark as the dominant stable in DPW, while Jennifer Drew is coming in with two of her clients gunning for spots in the World Title Match on Mayhem." Young said, adjusting his headset slightly. "And then there's our main event. I think a lot of us were wondering, when Judas Lasher made his comments about ushering in the best young talent, who he would take the biggest shine to. And I could be wrong, but knowing Judas as well as I do, the fact that Samantha Tolson-Anderson is standing beside he and William Mannheim tonight says far more about that than any words could."
"Lasher can be diabolical, he can be sadistic... but above all, he's a ruthless businessman. Whoever he hitches his wagon to, we can expect big, BIG things from them. And speaking of big things, Christian, let's get to our first match... the first intergender match ever for DPW!"
Starting the match with a friendly fist-bump born of mutual respect, the two began a very evenly matched contest, with Katie having a slight advantage throughout, as Ishaan seemed to have possibly underestimated her a bit.
Ishaan eventually took the advantage, taking Katie down with consecutive enziguri kicks before hopping to the top rope to attempt a phoenix splash. Katie moved out of the way, and as Ishaan got to his feet, she surprised him with a move Lara Blackheart had taught her, a facebuster-DDT! quickly hooking the leg, the referee counted to three at 12:41 as Katie leaped to her feet in victory!
-----------------------------------------------
Leroux came to the ring first, sprinting down the aisle as "The Void" by Parkway Drive played, leaping athletically to the top rope to pose as the song hit it's chorus. The crowd exploded to life then, as "Drag Me To Hell" by Lord of the Lost began, and Jennifer Drew led "Lionheart" Alex Brody to the ring.
Leroux dominated the majority of the match, using his strength advantage to keep Brody at bay. Oddly though, After one especially hard superkick from Leroux, something seemed to snap in Brody, as her eyes widened a bit, and she began seeming to register pair less and less, and aiming dropkicks at Leroux's knees. Finally getting him to stay down for a moment, Brody gave a cruel smirk, before grabbing his wrists, and pulling his face right toward her incoming knee that she'd titled 'The End'. With the sick crunch of face against knee, Brody wrapped him up for a three-count at 15:19, before rolling off of him and blinking a few times, looking a little confused as her manager entered the ring to tend to her.
-------------------------------------------
"17 Girls in a Row" by Steel Panther announced the the next match, as Lash Donohue strutted to the ring accompanied to the ring by Sex & Violence teammate Mia Hayashi.Moments later, however... the lights dropped to a dark red hue as Azumi Koshiba walked out, steely determination in her eyes as a good portion of the crowd sang along with her theme, Light The Torch's "Die Alone".
Surprisingly, Koshiba mostly dominated the contest, cutting Donohue down with a brutal array of kicks, knee-strikes, and elbow-strikes. Donohue fought back and kept the match competitive, but Azumi was almost a force of nature in her aggression. She caught Donohue with a snap kick to the face that broke him open, but while the referee was checking on the severity of the cut, Marissa Viskan slid out from under the ring and pulled Azumi out, catching her with a quick DDT to the floor.
Viskan walked away with a smirk as the referee turned around, saw Azumi on the outside, and counted her out at 10:02.
------------------------------------------
Grey and Salvatore tore into each other with the ferocity of two people engaged in a full-on blood feud. The two traded German Suplexes and vicious lariats, before the match began degenerating into an all-out brawl. Not caring one bit about the health of himself OR his opponent, Grey pinned Salvatore down and began to rain unprotected headbutts down on her, busting both of them open after four in a row.
Grey brought a chair in the ring, but as he lifted Salvatore to set her up for a piledriver on it, Adrianna managed to uppercut him between the legs, stunning him long enough for her to hoist him up onto her shoulders and blast him with her father's old finisher, The Mushroom Cloud, for the pin after 18:36 of bloody, exhausting action.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A back and forth match between two friends holding nothing back, each man utilized their individual strengths to the fullest: Wolfe's agility & technical prowess, and Rick's raw power and aggressiveness.
After Rick managed to kick out after being hit with The Spineshank, Wolfe attempted to give him The Blackout... but Rick powered out of it, and shocked Chris with The Misery Whip for the 1-2-3 at 20:30.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lights dimmed, the video wall lighting up with the graffiti-esque logo of Sex & Violence as the low, deep beat of Rico Nasty's "Smack A Bitch" filled the arena. The Little Troublemaker herself, Mia Hayashi, arrogantly skipped out onto the stage, tonight cosplaying as a femme version of Star Wars' Kylo Ren. Ditching the robe and helmet as she got to the ring, she gave a big smirk and shot the middle finger to someone in the crowd holding a sign for SIN.
Grabbing the microphone from the announcer, she laughed out loud, sticking her tongue out happily.
"So... lemme get this straight. Someone who last wrestled in the states nineteen years ago, and wasn't all that great back then to begin with, wants a piece of me. And I'm supposed to be all terrified. Please. I'm more scared of catching something from standing too close to the bitch's niece over in KCW." As the crowd 'ooooo'ed, Mia shrugged and looked right into the camera. "Seriously, Crab Shack. You ain't shit. ANYWAY. Back to SIN. If you really think you're gonna walk in here and make some kinda example of me? You may as well go back to being a thirsty old bitch on Twitter, cos it's never gonna happen."
She tapped her chin a few times, as if pondering who to shit-talk next.
"Oh... and Jenni? Sweetheart? You wanna sit there being a keyboard warrior, telling me and everyone who'll listen about how your people are gonna be so dominant... you barely mentioned the damn TAG TEAM you manage (which hey, I'm sure they appreciate that. That'll last), but you can't even see what's going on right in front of you. Your little wannabe girlfriend is unravelling again, and you can't even see what you're doing to push her along the path. So... no. I don't think I'll be feeling very afraid of any of you. Your whole group is a little time bomb waiting to explode."
As Mia stood in the ring, acting (as usual) cocky and arrogant... her eyes went wide as she heard the opening of Body Count's "Carnivore", a look of utter fear coming over her face when she saw the emotionless, laser-focused glare on SIN's face as Jennifer Drew led her to the ring. She clearly hadn't realized how utterly RIPPED the woman had gotten in her years overseas, or how sadistic she still seemed.
The match itself was almost comically short. Mia decided to try surprising SIN by charging at her.... which didn't end well for The Little Troublemaker. As she ran at SIN, she ran right into the woman's vicious spinning backfist, which she named The Facebreaker. Mia collapsed on contact, completely unconcious. SIN grabbed her, suplexing her hard back down to the mat, before throwing a rear naked choke on her. The referee stopped the match immediately, giving the submission win to SIN in:45.

Kimi Smalls groaned as she unknowingly walked into the view of the camera, where her twin brother, Kyle, already happened to be hanging out.
“What’s up, sis?” Kyle tilted his head.
“Marissa invited Vin and his ring rat over here on Twitter,” Kimi spat out bitterly.
Kyle shook his head, “I didn’t think you’d care.”
“It’s…” she sighed, shaking her head. “It’s easier if I don’t see him.”
Kyle smirked, “and here I thought that you let him go before you could catch feelings.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Kimi’s head shot up.
“It’s me, Kim,” Kyle shook his head, the smirk not leaving his face.
“Fine,” Kimi let out an exasperated sigh. “I fell in love with Vin right before ending things with him and… I still love him.” She shrugged, walking away.
After watching his sister walk away in bewilderment, Kyle turned to see the camera and shook his head. “Well… I guess he’s gonna know now.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hellfire Championship match was complete, total chaos from bell to bell. The Krule Brothers gleefully beat the everloving shit out of one another, laughing even as they threw each other into boards covered with barbed wire. Kimi won the respect of everyone after managing to get up after huge big boot from O'Brien nearly took her head off, and managed to even hop onto the big man's back, choking him to his knees with an errant strand of the barbed wire.
Finally though, as Kimi prepared to DDT Johnny Krule onto a pile of thumbtacks, Tommy Krule hit her with a spear that took both of them out of the ring, and onto the spiderweb of barbed wire spread around ringside. Tommy barely managed to drape an arm over Kimi as the referee made the three-count, awarding Tommy Krule the first-ever Hellfire Championship at 13:58.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The match technically never began, as while Karla stood in the ring, watching her opponent walk down the aisle, the rest of The Coven jumped Akane from behind, with Belphegor giving her a chokeslam on the concrete floor before leaving as Azumi ran out to check on her sister.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samantha Tolson-Anderson almost immediately put herself on The Coven's radar, by grabbing LeeAnn as the redhead went for an armbar, and pressing the smaller woman over her head easily & chucking her to the outside.
Mannheim and Buzzsaw ripped into each other with punches and kicks so vicious it was a wonder either of them could still stand. Yet stand they did, fighting out of the ring and all the way into the crowd, neither seeming to be able to gain a true advantage over the other.
Judas threw everything he had at Belphegor, seemingly to no avail. The giant was simply too big, too powerful, and too much younger than the veteran. It took Tolson-Anderson coming in to assist Lasher in giving Belphegor a double-suplex to finally get the CEO an advantage.
Finally, after gaining another advantage over Lasher, Belphegor gave him not one, not two, but THREE consecutive chokeslams, finally pinning him for the win at 17:48.
