The night featured a “Battle for the Belt” match with L.A. local and current champ Li’l Cholo defending his title in a fatal 4-way match, plus a special guest performance from non-gender binary performance artist Violet Chachki, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season seven.

Death defying aerial pole artist Leigh Acosta starts the show off.
