Clash at the Cresset provided quite a rollercoaster of a journey for fans of DOA, with many twists and turns along the way. Once again, at the centre of the controversy once again was the Farrell Family, but by the end of the night they backed away with tails tucked between their legs. In the main event, Brad O'Brien once again managed to retain to DOA Heavyweight Championship by the skin of his teeth when he overcame RJ Singh. Singh almost had O'Brien beat until Joe Anthony ran out and caused a vital distraction, which allowed O'Brien to score a victory, something that has been a reoccurring theme since winning the title in December 2023.
O'Brien was not content with just victory though and after the match he was joined in the ring by fellow family members Lord Steven Farrell and Leia Elise, as well as Joe Anthony who had remained at ringside. The four of them started to attack RJ Singh who was already down, but suddenly RJ's long time friend Sunset Skip ran out clutching an iron bar. O'Brien and Elise managed to escape the ring but Skip nailed both Anthony and Farrell with the iron bar before downing them with his trademark elbow to the head. For good measure and to send a clear message, RJ then downed Farrell with a DDT. The Family quickly scattered to the entrance way and looked on at Skip and Singh who stood tall with the fans behind them, they had sent a clear message to the Family.
Sunset Skip had already had a great night after he was finally reinstated to the DOA roster. In an eight man tag team match, Skip managed a team consisting of Brett Semtex, Vinnie Kray, Ben Jones and Ali-Ok against the Cult of Hyde (Moldark, the NLP and Puppet Poole), managed by Jack E Hyde. If Skip's team won he would be reinstated whereas if they lost he would be gone forever, along with his alter ego the Sunset Rider. Despite Jack E Hyde's best efforts to help his team to victory, the match which was action packed from start to finish, ended with Sunset's team getting the big win. This means Skip is now back in DOA and will continue to gun for revenge against the Farrell Family.
The downfall of the Family continued in one of the more shocking moments of the night. Artemis finally got her chance to face Leia Elise one on one to challenge for the woman's title. Elise who has been champion for over 600 days was left stunned when Artemis defeated her to take the woman's championship. Elise went mad after the match and had to be taken backstage by Lord Steven Farrell and Joe Anthony who struggled to contain her. Artemis celebrated after achieving something so many had failed to do, knocking Elise off her thrown.
With the Banker Marc Lloyd having to give up the Go 4 Glory briefcase, the brief case was on the line in a 5 man scramble match featuring Joe Anthony, Dillon Slade, Furio, Sir Ryan Matthews, and Josh Spicer. This was an action packed back and forth match but it was Sir Ryan who took the glory when he sneaked a pinfall over Dillon Slade whose bad luck continued. Sir Ryan now can cash in the brief case at anytime for any DOA championship.
In a match made last month in Bury St Edmunds, Danny Darko came up against Alton Thorne in his first defence since winning the Pandemonium title. The match stipulation chosen by Thorne was a tables match, in what was DOA's very first tables match. This was hard hitting but despite Thorne's brutality, he could not match the hardcore Icon Danny Darko who put him through a table to retain the title.
After his recent victories over Dillon Slade and Hex, the glory appeared to go to young Joey's head who made his way out to complain about not being on the show. He mentioned how he was one of the few people to beat Hex and he could do it again. Joey was not expecting Hex to then come out and within minutes of what became an official match, Joey found himself being choke slammed and pinned by Hex.
Jakk Sellstrom finally picked up a big DOA victory as he defeated the veteran Jonny Storm in a match enjoyed by the fans. Meanwhile, in his hometown, The Powerhouse Blake overcame the technically minded Mike Bird to pick up another big DOA victory.
