This is tough to call.

This pay-per-view cycle proved to be the one where Jamie Hayter's obvious momentum simply couldn't be denied. A breakout-in-waiting alongside Britt Baker, Hayter has been earning monster reactions for months and - thanks to unique insight from former lockdown housemate Toni Storm - has changed because of it.

Meanwhile, Toni Storm has been the perfect babyface stalwart and interim title steward since Thunder Rosa went down injured, showing just as much disdain for the dreaded i-word as Jon Moxley did during CM Punk's layoff earlier this year. If it wrestles like a Champion, and walks, talks and acts like a Champion, it's a Champion, and Storm is just that.

Tremendous chemistry, a superb backstory and the highest possible stakes have been the key to making this the dark horse for Full Gear's show-stealer, especially when Hayter claims the prize. It'll generate a monster reaction on the night, but going forward the prospect of her batting back negging from Baker and Thunder Rosa's potential return yields some more strides forward for the 27-Year-Old brit.

Winner - Jamie Hayter
