Ravio returns to celebrate with Her Grace! Of course, he had a part to play, but that doesn’t matter now. Hilda is heading to HyruleMania, but will she be able to dethrone Zelda as champion?

My Thoughts:

I meant to do more for this to really make it a “feast,” but I felt like the “surprise” Trios title match was good enough. I also couldn’t be sure if the Termina title or the Goddess title contenders match should be the main event. But after writing them out, I figured the Fatal 5 Elimination actually was better than the 1v1. Things are really busy these days but hopefully I can make HyruleMania 2 awesome, last year’s was really fun.
