KIT entered Key to the City chasing an opportunity. He left the Dom Polski Centre as RCW Emerald Crown Holder.
On October 3, KIT produced an unforgettable night at RCW Key to the City, overcoming five other competitors in the Key to the City Ladder Match before using his newly won opportunity to completely change the course of the night.
KIT had been the first competitor announced for the Ladder Match, eventually joined by Prince Apollo, Riccardo, Violet Blitz, Grimm and Havok.
With the Key hanging above the ring and six competitors fighting for the opportunity it represented, only one could climb the ladder and claim it.
That competitor was KIT.
KIT survived the chaos of the Ladder Match and retrieved the RCW Key to the City, securing an opportunity that could change the course of his career.
Nobody had to wait long to find out what KIT planned to do with it.
Later that night, Matt Hayter defended the RCW Emerald Crown against SMASH.
After weeks of tension between champion and challenger, SMASH delivered on the biggest opportunity of his career, defeating Hayter one-on-one to become the new RCW Emerald Crown Holder.
It should have been the defining moment of SMASH's young career.
SMASH didn't even get his hands on the Emerald Crown.
Before the championship could be presented to its new holder, KIT emerged with the Key to the City he had won earlier that night.
KIT unlocked his opportunity.
And suddenly, SMASH's night wasn't over.
Earlier this year, KIT and SMASH had both been part of the four-way match that saw Matt Hayter capture the Emerald Crown. Their paths crossed again at Heavy is the Crown, where SMASH defeated KIT in a Number One Contender's Match to earn the opportunity that ultimately led him to championship gold.
Now, only moments after SMASH had finally defeated Hayter, their rivalry had another chapter to write.
KIT defeated SMASH.
In the space of one night, KIT had climbed the ladder, secured the Key to the City, unlocked his opportunity and captured the RCW Emerald Crown.
For SMASH, the moment he had fought so hard to earn disappeared before he could even hold the championship he had just won.
For KIT, October 3 became the biggest night of his career.
He arrived at the Dom Polski Centre as one of six competitors fighting for an opportunity.
He left as RCW Emerald Crown Holder.
October 3 belonged to KIT.
