Star Forge: Open Fight Night Shakes The Foundry

August 29, 2025 | Iron City Press

The Grand Prix may have been cancelled, but the Forge refused to die. With half the roster gone and the brackets scrapped, Eric Dane turned what could have been a dark night into something unforgettable: Star Forge: Open Fight Night.

The Foundry faithful came expecting disappointment. What they got instead was raw chaos. Fights broke out with little warning. Old grudges boiled over, and new rivalries were born before the crowd’s eyes. Matches appeared on the fly, as wrestlers clawed for the chance to prove they still belonged.

Shockwaves rippled when Marie Van Claudio made a surprise appearance. The veteran stepped into the Forge for the first time and chose a young prospect to test under the brightest lights Birmingham could muster. The crowd roared as a dream match unfolded in real time.

Later in the night, the Iron Crown itself came into play. Champion Graysie Parker didn’t wait for a pay-per-view spotlight—she put her title on the line without warning. The challenger? Someone bold enough to demand the opportunity, and brazen enough to try to steal the crown in front of The Foundry. What followed was a storm of chaos that will shape the weeks ahead for both the Forge and Iron City Wrestling.

Open Fight Night wasn’t clean, it wasn’t polished, and it wasn’t planned. But that was the point. The Forge stood tall in defiance of the Commission’s ruling, proving it’s smaller, leaner, and hotter than ever.
