How We Got Here
Starling Has the Venue.
Staten Has Everything Else.
At Vendetta at the Opera House, Adam Starling thought he had a plan. Break The Pillars' exclusivity contract. Take back his city. But JT Staten was one step ahead. He disbanded The Pillars himself and rebuilt them as The Foundation. Then the Main Street Authority (a totally unrelated group, as far as anyone can prove) stepped in and sealed a brand new exclusivity clause with the Opera House before Starling could do a thing about it.
With the Opera House locked away, Starling needed a venue and he knew exactly where to find one: the Elks Lodge Ballroom in Longmont, built in 1925 and one of the most historic rooms in the city. He knows this building. He's been here before. It's the same room where he first discovered the City of Lights championship in 2017.
But a room is all he has. Staten holds the title. Staten holds the power. Staten holds all the cards. The question hanging over August 30th: what could possibly make JT Staten put that title on the line?
