The camera opens up on a sold out Tom Gola Arena and the passionate Philly crowd is worked up tonight as the Great American Grand Prix has rolled into town. The camera then heads ringside to the announce team.
Jackson: Hello everyone and thank you for joining us for Day 3 of the Great American Grand Prix. Tonight is extra special as it also marks our debut in Pennsylvania!
Judd: Philly wrestling fans are known around the world for the unique atmosphere that they emit as they don't always follow the norm. As we reach the halfway point of the week tonight's matches mean more than ever.
Jackson: So let's not keep you waiting any longer and get to the ring!

Adalynn Duncan vs. Masaru Inoue
Adalynn started the match focused looking to try and take some control back. Inoue was visibly hurting after two straight nights of brutal matches. Unlucky for him Adalynn was making it three. Masaru used his tricks when he could but Addy was fresher than him and made all her power strikes count. Masaru went for “Kill Shot” (shin strike to the neck) as a last ditch effort but Adalynn ducked it and connected flush with “No Doubt” (roaring elbow). Inoue went down hard and Adalynn picked up the win.
Winner: Adalynn Duncan

Ashley Maldano vs. Tommy Evans
Evans tried to take control of this match early. But that was something Slashley was going to make him have to work hard for. Maldano caught fire and had the crowd behind her as she started to take the lead in the match. Tommy tried to get things rolling back on his side but Ashley countered them before hitting Evans with “AshFall” (Sitout inverted front powerslam). Ashley quickly covered him and hooked both legs getting the three count.
Winner: Ashley Maldano

Vince Steel vs. Nora Harris
The bell rang and the biggest size difference in the tournament was way more than noticeable. Nora used speed to her advantage but found it hard to do more to Vince besides catch him quick strikes that didn't do much damage. She decided she had to risk it all and went to the top rope and tried to hit Steel with a moonsault. Vince caught her then moved her to a gorilla press position and launched her out of the ring. However the SAP faithful are always willing to lend a hand, or in this case a bunch of hands as they caught Nora and crowd surfed her back to the ring apron. Once back in the ring she tried with all her might but once Steel hit the “Hand of Steel” (iron claw slam) it was the end.
Winner: Vince Steel

Izzy Anders vs. Annie Zellor
The crowd was nuclear for this one as two of today's biggest stars were set to meet in the unique atmosphere that SAP presents. The match started with the crowd pounding on the apron giving it that big fight feel. Annie was feeding off of the energy and took it to Izzy in the opening minutes. Hitting a series of moves that had everyone questioning if Izzy would finally fall for her first lost. That question changed once Izzy hit the Stockton slap followed by her “Dirty Dancin’” kick fleury. The two went back and forth as the minutes went on and the time limit crept closer. Annie went for the “Rough 'n' Tumble II” (Springboard Codebreaker [from apron, bouncing off middle rope]) but Izzy avoided it and then caught Zellor with the “Capetown Sunset” (540 kick) and picked up the win.
Winner: Izzy Anders

Xavier Laroux vs. Bloody Mary
Mary was looking to overwhelm Xavier by trying not to give him a chance to come up with a plan. She kept up a driving pace and kept trying to corner Laroux. Xavier picked his shots and then started to fight his way back into the match. Mary tried to slow him down with some hard clubbing blows but Xavier began to use his size for an advantage and work the ribs of Mary. Xavier hit her with a hard kitchen sink knee that flipped her over and sent her to a seated position which allowed Laroux to hit the ropes and connect with “The Addiction” (running knee between the eyes of a seated opponent) and get the win.
Winner: Xavier Laroux

Felix Vialpando vs. Rachel Redding
The crowd was more than pumped for the night's main event. Felix was his usual self but became a bit fluttered when Rachel pointed at the North Atlantic title and made a motion around her waist. This caused Felix to try a quick attack but Rachel had it covered. The two went back and forth. Each hitting a series of increasingly powerful moves. Anytime it looked like one had the advantage the other one would come right back. Towards the twilight minutes of the match Felix started catching wind of Rachel’s hit and run style and started preventing her running. The two wound up on the top rope where Rachel was looking for a superplex. Felix shoved her off and then hit “Bird’s Eye View” (double rotation moonsault) and picked up the victory.
Winner: Felix Vialpando
