Completed August 9, 2026Winner: Desmond PrycePryce (c) d. Nkosi via referee stoppage (Sovereign Lock into The Verdict, 14:52). Nkosi dominated early (Springboard Crossbody, Hurricanrana, Suicide Dive), nearly won off a Flying Forearm. Went for broke on SSP off the top — the exact "opening" Pryce's Addendum described — Pryce absorbed the landing, transitioned straight into the hold. Nkosi refused to tap; arm dropped twice, ref waved it off. Retains New Wave Championship. Closes The Pretender. Doctrine watched ringside, silent.
