The camera opens up on Memorial Hall in Dover where the fresh Delaware crowd is more than ready for their first SAP show. The SAP faithful have traveled well including those whose favorites aren't wrestling like the flag waving pirate crew that cheers for Brendan Samuels. The camera then moves to the ringside area where the announce team is waiting.
Jackson: Hello everyone and welcome to Great American Grand Prix day 4! We are in the home stretch now with only two days left in the group stage and we make our debut in Delaware!
Judd: Each wrestler here needs points more than ever. No one wants to go into the final day when it's a crapshoot. For Block A’s four way tie each of them need to separate but it's highly unlikely one walks away from tonight as the clear favorite.
Jackson: You put it very well Judd. Tonight and tomorrow’s shows may very well be the most intense of the tournament. Surely you won't want to miss this and we are glad to have everyone here with us tonight. Let's get to the ring.

GBH vs. The Caffiends
The crowd was in excitement as the Delaware locals were already familiar with these SCCW wrestlers in this showcase match. The wrestlers soon got used to the SAP atmosphere with the unique chants and up close crowd. The Caffiends used their size to take the match into their control. They used classic tag team strategy as they cut Harper Hill of from her corner and kept her on their side of the ring. Harper worked her way back and managed to get a hot tag. Miss Fortune made her way into the ring in what seemed like an unstoppable roll but Dewey shut that down. Harper entered the ring and distracted the referee. The Caffiends were about to make their way to her when Miss Fortune slid into the ring with a chair and nailed both of them with headshots. Harper let's the ref go and Fortune makes a cover and gets the three count.
Winner: GBH

Izzy Anders vs. Rachel Redding
The crowd was hot for the first GAGP match of the night. It was the leader of Block B against the last place in Block B. Izzy started the match full of confidence and started to put a hurting on Rachel. However as time went on things started to change. Rachel started to show more movement around the ring and really made Izzy have to work to get closer to her. Rachel then started to get in some shots and a few moves. Soon Rachel powdered out of the ring causing Izzy to go after her. Judd then pointed out that Rachel was starting to use the same strategy she did to beat Felicity Banks. That was exactly right and Rachel made Izzy chase her across the ring. The two met up and Rachel managed to Irish whip her into the ring steps shoulder first. Rachel slid into the ring around the 16 count. When Izzy got up she went to go back into the ring but Rachel hit her with a baseball slide that sent her back a few steps but enough to make the ref count 20. The crowd popped and Izzy was pissed as Rachel was declared the winner by count out. Redding was all smiles as she pointed to her head and then waved at Izzy. Anders jumped back up on the apron but the ref warned her. Anders then told Redding “next time, you're dead”. Redding ignored it and celebrated the victory with the SAP faithful.
Winner: Rachel Redding

Xavier Laroux vs. Nora Harris
Little Nora didn't have it lucky having to face Xavier the day after facing Vince. However she was unwavering in her determination to stand as tall as she can against the crowd's favorite drug. The two started with a lock up and soon Xavier started using his size and strength advantage to his advantage. Yet Nora still fought with all her might. She caught Xavier with a drop toe hold at one point and then started to go on an offensive. In one of the most unique moments of the night the black flag waving pirate group always at ringside who always support Brendan Samuels began to chant a lyric from the Irish folk song that shared the same first name as Harris. “When I first said I loved only you Nora, and you said you loved only me”, the crowd picked it up and even Laroux couldn't stop from looking around. As the match went on Xavier pulled out in the lead. He caught her with a superkick to the ribs which put her into a seated position and then “The Addiction” (running knee between the eyes of a seated opponent) and Nora’s night was done. At the end of the match Laroux helped up Harris and shook her hand causing a big pop from the crowd.
Winner: Xavier Laroux

Tommy Evans vs. Annie Zellor
These two put on a clinic leaving the crowd with wide eyes after every move. They both used their aerial attacks to wound each other and wow the crowd. Tommy looked like he had Annie on a few occasions but the International tag champ always found a way to keep going. The two were very familiar with each other's work from seeing each other frequently as apart of the New Kingdom Pro roster. Tommy had Annie in dire straights as he had her on the mat near the corner. He went to the top and went for “Suicide” (corkscrew 630 senton) but Annie moved out of the way just in time. She didn't give it much thought and quickly jumped to the top rope herself and hit “Ode to Smurf” (shooting star press) and got the victory.
Winner: Annie Zellor

Vince Steel vs. Adalynn Duncan
The two met up in the middle of the ring and Adalynn tried to use her technical skill on the much larger Steel but she found it very hard to try and move him around. Vince just used his strength to pull her in and toss her across the ring. Adalynn had no choice but to go back to her stiff strikes. She laid into Vince the best he could. Managing to get a few solid shots into his ribs. Duncan soon found herself on the returning shots of “The East Side Beast” and he wasn't holding back. Steel then grabbed hold of her and connected with the “Hand of Steel” (iron claw slam) and that was the end.
Winner: Vince Steel

Felix Vialpando vs. Ashley Maldano
Ashley was fired up from the start. Felix tried to use that to his advantage by trying to frustrate Maldano. Felix stuck to his lucha inspired background at first but that plan soon went out the window once Ashley got him into a corner and started clubbing away at him. Felix tried some technical flash but Maldano was just in a groove and managed to put a stop to Felix’s advances. Finally Vialpando went to his brawling game. He exchanged some blows with Ashley but soon found himself on the losing end of things as he had been taking some rough blows for over half the match. Maldano kept up the pace and soon she had Felix up for the “AshAttack” (Gory neckbreaker) and she connected with it picking up the win against the North Atlantic champion.
Winner: Ashley Maldano

Bloody Mary vs. Masaru Inoue
There was a weird atmosphere at the beginning of this main event. It's not very often when both wrestlers creep out most of the crowd. That feeling soon subsided when these two started going at each other hard. Both competitors are known for their intense relentless styles and they showed it here. Stiff shots along with ramming each other's head’s into turnbuckles. Things got even more intense when the two went to the outside. The two brawled into the crowd with Masaru barely making it back to the ring in time to break the count. Once back on the outside he grabbed hold of Mary and ran her head first into the turnbuckle poll busting her open. The crowd popped from the crimson and this only triggered Mary. She went off on Inoue, and then broke the count. Once on the outside she drug him to the top of the ring steps and landed a sick implant ddt that busted Masaru open. The crowd was going crazy when she slid Inoue back into the ring. The two went at it again and Masaru started to pull away as the two were pouring blood all over the ring. Mary wasn't taking this and began to bite the forehead of Inoue. The ref had to pull Mary off of Inoue which gave Masaru the separation he needed to connect with “Kill Shot” (knee strike to the neck). Mary went down and Masaru made the cover and got the victory.
Winner: Masaru Inoue
