World Prediction Championship 2021 Event #12 Results
Ring Of Honor played host to the second round of the King of the Ring Tournament - spanning over both days of the Glory by Honor two-day event. Originally sixteen matches, dropped down to fourteen due to Jay Briscoe being unable to take part in the event - creating matches that were not originally on the ballot. Our first focus of the event is the Grand Prix Event Championship, which for the first time was being defended by Sky.
WPC Grand Prix Event Championship
Sky (c) vs. Everyone Else
| GPE Championship | Name | Wins | Loss | Differential |
| Tied 1st. | HoHo | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| Tied 1st. | Jimmy King | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| Tied 1st. | LHR | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| 4th. | Deth | 8 | 6 | 2 |
| Tied 5. | Sky | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| Tied 5th. | Lethal Banks | 7 | 7 | 0 |
| Tied 7th. | Smark | 6 | 8 | -2 |
| Tied 7th. | Blaze | 6 | 8 | -2 |
| 9th. | TFW | 5 | 9 | -4 |
With three predictors tied in first position, we refer to the rules in place for the GPE Championship:
- everyone not competing for another championship belt, is eligible to win the belt
- if predictors are tied in 1st place, the predictor with the lowest overall differential wins the belt
- if predictor can not be separated by their differential, then the belt is vacated
- the challenger has the advantage, if two predictors are tied 1st and one of them is the title holder, the champion loses the tie
Coming into the event both Jimmy King and HoHo had a differential of +13, but LadyHotRod only had a score of +8 meaing that LadyHotRod is the new WPC Grand Prix Event Champion.

Our next focus, features some of the competitors from the previous contest - but not all as we focus on the Clout Cup Eliminator, with the aim of the top two ranked position advancing with the hopes of becoming the inaugural cup holder at the end of Event #13.
Eliminator
HoHo vs. LadyHotRod vs. Blaze vs. Deth vs. The Fourth Wall
| Clout Cup Eliminator | Name | Wins | Loss | Differential |
| Tied 1st. | HoHo | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| Tied 1st. | LHR | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| 3rd. | Deth | 8 | 6 | 2 |
| 4th. | Blaze | 6 | 8 | -2 |
| 5th. | TFW | 5 | 9 | -4 |
LadyHotRod and HoHo ended the eliminator in tied first position, meaning that the pair will meet once again at Event #13 - with the winner claiming the Clout Cup for themselves.

One solitary tag team match was booked for Event #12 - in a contest that saw the Wall of Deth square off against Team Friendship. The standing for the Tag Division will be updated - at the completion of the Event #13.
WPC TAG DIVISION

Moving onwards - we now focus on the Open The Prediction Gate Championship match. With the winner of the clash, already with the knowledge they will get their shot at the the Grand Championship at Event #13.
WPC Open The Prediction Gate Championship
Chris vs. Necro
| OTPG Championship | Name | Wins | Loss | Differential |
| 1st. | Necro | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| 2nd. | Chris | 7 | 7 | +0 |
Former champion Chris officially passes the torch in this contest, as with a clear differential of +4 - Necro wins the contest and become the new Open The Prediction Gate Champion and will face the winner of Haza vs. Jeff vs. Juice, for the Grand Championship at Event #13.
Necro
The final title on the line for Event #12 - is of course that WPC Grand Championship that was being contested in a Triple Threat match. Will Haza retain the belt or will Jeff or Juice end the title celebrations early?
WPC Grand Championship
Haza (c) vs. Jeff vs. Juice
| Grand Championship | Name | Wins | Loss | Differential |
| Tied 1st. | Jeff | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| Tied 1st. | Haza | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| 3rd | Juice | 7 | 7 | 0 |
We find ourselves in familiar territory in the WPC Grand Championship - as on their second outing to challenge for the biggest prize in the competition Juice falls short once more. However, Jeff is left facing heartbreak as for the second time this season he has tied with the champion - this time Haza rather than Chris, meaning that with Champion's Advantage, Haza successfully defend the title. With the knowledge he will make his second defence of the belt against Necro at Event #13.

| 14th. | TFW | 5 | 9 | -4 |
Overall Standings will be updated at the end of Event #13 - however the two highest ranked predictor [not including Haza & Necro] and therefore facing each other for the Open The Prediction Gate Championship at Event #13 are - Jeff and Chris. The winner of the clash will get the next Grand Championship shot, although a tie will create another Triple Threat Scenario.
