Middleweight Championship[]
Doodlebug vs Hard Cheese vs Wharthog vs Scorpion[]
Hard Cheese chases and nudges Wharthog away from an immobilised Doodlebug
The four machines converged in the middle of the arena. Early on, Scorpion was outclassed by its opponents and left for the House Robots,[1] and after just a few light bashes from the other two competitors Doodlebug suddenly broke down. Hard Cheese then pressured Wharthog towards the PPZ while Matilda closed in on the now-immobile Doodlebug. Both Scorpion and Doodlebug were attacked by Dead Metal and placed on the Flame Pit, with Scorpion catching fire.[1]
Verminator, placed on the Flame Pit
Wharthog turned around again, but Hard Cheese continued with its attacks on the experienced machine. Eventually, the shunts from Hard Cheese rendered Wharthog immobile as well. Hard Cheese proceeded to venture near the PPZ again and bump into Dead Metal, the collision knocking the rat mascot Verminator off its wedge shape. Shunt then placed Verminator over the Flame Pit, before 'cease' was finally called and Hard Cheese declared the inaugural Middleweight Champion.
