The United stood gathered in The Great Arena as Monday Night Invasion began a new year much the same way it had ended the last one. The December 19 edition concluded with the bombshell of The United defeating The Invasion's leaders - and announcing their cancellation!
The United were back to reaffirm their statement, declaring January 19th would indeed mark the final Monday Night Invasion. They boasted that they had achieved a level of power in a single month that The Invasion had only dreamed about! Each member brandished their championship belt: Mimik the Undisputed Championship, Shoe & Artanix the Duo Division Championships, Mime the KFL Championship, and Murdoink the Division 2 Championship!
The team announced that Monday nights would now belong to them, and as their comrade Hokey was on his way out, they would be searching for a new member to help run the show. At that very moment, Corrupt hydraslash entered the arena, but The Invasion member wasn't there to sign-up! His Duo Division partner Corrupt MINION had suffered the ultimate defeat in the First Round of the 2017 Grand Slam Launch. Mime was the one to put him on the shelf, so hydraslash challenged him to put his recently won KFL Championship on the line in a main event grudge match!
The night turned out to be full of Tournament 77 grudges as remnants of The Invasion gathered to seek retribution. Ghrimm hadn't made an impression as a member of The Invasion, so nobody saw him making the Third Round, where he fell in a double elimination draw to Shinnokxz! Eager to prove which was the better man, they met in an intriguing rematch -- Shinnokxz the decisive winner!
MattHardy escalated his Round 1 loss to McDaniel into an unsuccessful Duo Division clash. Round 2 challengers didn't fare any better: Zentile unable to best Invasion Div.2 rival SubScorpTile, MAX Damaged Rhyno still outclassed by a gentler MKMaster, and KurtAngle deceptively talented in his repeat win against Maridany.
In the main event, Corrupt hydraslash did his best to upset The United's stranglehold on the gold, but he could not avenge his Fallen comrade. Mime secures his first title defense, looking strong two weeks ahead of his Supercard 88 defense against "The Predator" TonyTheTiger!
The action doesn't stop here! Friday Night Fights returns later this week, ahead of Pre-Show 88: The Long Hard Road! Be here for all the developments as UGP Season gets under way!
