We are two weeks removed from UGWC Infinity, and boy has the landscape definitely changed. Angelica Vaughn is your new UGWC World Champion, as she dug deeper than she possibly has ever had to dig in order to defeat 'The Vain One' Alan Wallace. Yet, she wasn't the only #CoolKid to have a huge night, as just before she hit the ring to challenge for the World Title, she watched as Roxy Cotton defeated Sarah Lacklan-Grey to become the new number-one contender to the World Championship. How that will affect their current relationship will be determined as we inch closer to Lord of Trios, but before that, we have some business to take care of.
Konrad Raab finds himself teaming with the man known as 'Deathwish', as the two of them will be in action against the two men that Phrixus Deimos has asked to join him for Lord of Trios, Holden Orson and Wrestley McWrestleface. Dave Rydell and Travis Pierce will add one more chapter to their very storied rivalry. And in the Main Event of the night, the aforementioned Roxy Cotton teams with the ever-evolving Kenzi Grey-Lacklan, as the two of them square off against two people that beat the holy Hell out of one another at Infinity, Zane Scott and Le Bord de Dieu.
Your Synergy coverage begins, now…
- Vinegar, Hans, and Jay give us the usual intro that transitions into childish bickering. [/CopyPaste]
We're visited by the former World Champion.
It’s opening match time and Dr. Lieberjosch comments on how the match has four weirdos in it. It touches off a running argument between Lieberjosch and Vinegar that runs until “Iceman” Konrad Raab is introduced. He makes his way down to the ring to a massive response from the fans, which as usual seems to take him by surprise. Once in the ring, Referee Sam Green does his pre-match check and they wait for his partner. They don’t have long to wait as “Deathwish” Hide Yamazaki cues up and he enters with his manager, “The #1 Hitmaker” Johnny Bonecrusher. The response to him is anything but positive and he clearly doesn’t care. He reaches the ring and Sam checks him too, although he looks noticeably more uncomfortable for it than he was for Konrad. He finishes and the “odd couple” team settles in their corner, although “Deathwish” looks like he’d like to cripple his partner as soon as win a match with him.
Holden Orson enters next with his manager, Waldo. Holden looks as bored as as “Deathwish” looks psychotic. They make their way to the ring, saunter in and go to Holden’s corner. Sam checks him too (how mainstream) and the three men wait for the final participant. His music cues up a few seconds later and receives an explosive pop. Wrestley McWrestleface walks out onto the ramp and looks even more blown away by the positive reaction than Konrad did about his. He walks down the ramp and makes sure to slap hands with every fan that he can reach. Once he reaches the ring he shakes hands with Sam Green and tries to shake hands with Konrad Rab before he’s dissuaded by a snarling and barely controlled “Deathwish” Yamazaki. He tries to shake hands with his own partner, but gets a scoff in return because Holden. Sam checks him and then calls for the bell.
The match starts with Wrestley and Konrad, as Holden refuses to touch his partner and Konrad steps in before his can do anything about it. The two men walk to center ring and shake hands again, which draws another loud scoff from Holden and an angry snarl from “Deathwish”. The two men tie up and Konrad takes immediate control, using his power to his advantage. He wraps Wrestley up and throws him almost halfway across the ring with an overhead suplex. He keeps the pressure on and spends the next couple of minutes tossing the smaller man all over the ring with nearly every suplex in his arsenal before he finally plants him with and old school spinebuster. He pulls Wrestley up and plants him with the “Frozen Pin” for a two count.
He stands up and looks over at his corner as his partner yells something at him from the corner. He looks at him in confusion but doesn’t move towards him. Unfortunately for him, the madman tries to get in the ring, which leads Sam Green to run to their corner and try to hold him back. Holden uses the opportunity to run in and flatten Raab from behind with a clothesline, then drag his groggy partner back to his corner. Sam Green turns around just in time to see Holden tag himself in, then shake his hand in disgust before he steps into the ring. He runs in and quickly rolls Raab up, but only gets a two.
He looks at Sam Green, rolls his eyes and pulls Raab back up, then keeps him off balance with a varying assault of punches, kicks and open hand strikes. He slowly backs Raab up into one of the neutral corners, then connects with a back kick that doubles him over, then drops him onto his ass in the corner with a nasty sounding palm strike to the chin. He lays in a few stiff looking kicks, then pulls the German sensation up and throws him into center right with a textbook Judo style throw. He turns and waits for Raab to get back up and once he does, Holden connects with “Black” and drops for the cover. He gets a two before “Deathwish” suddenly leaps on him and begins to barrage him with rights and lefts. Same tires to push him off, but gets shoved back for his efforts. Thankfully for Holden, it gives him enough room to wriggle out from under the Japanese madman and stumble to his corner, where he tags Wrestley in with a slap to the chest before he rolls out to the floor.
Sam finally manages to push “Deathwish” to his corner again, although only barely and only with the “help” of his manager. Thankfully for Raab, it gives him time to recover and he crawls back to his corner and reaches a hand up to get a tag from his partner. “Deathwish” yanks him up by his wrist and slaps him hard in the face, then dumps him back down. He leaps through the ropes and throws himself at Wrestley, who is forced back by his wild behavior.
“Deathwish” keeps the pressure on and barrages Wrestley with wild punches before he flattens the “Masked Sensation” with a vicious looking lariat. The next couple of minutes are a display in brutality, as the Japanese madman proceeds to pummel Wrestley with punches, backbreakers, suplexes and a spinning backfist that sends him crashing into the corner. “Deathmatch” grins savagely, charges at Wrestley and nearly kicks his head into the second row with a vicious looking facewash. He drags the limp luchadore out of the corner and looks at him like he’s going to pin him, but instead he pulls him up, hoists Wrestley up over his shoulders and drives him into the corner with a brutal looking Death Valley Driver.
Sam runs over to check on him and somehow manages to get “Deathwish” to back off. Wrestley insists that he can continue and in spite of his better judgment, Sam allows the match to continues. “Deathmatch” yanks Wrestley up by his neck and proceeds to try to fold him in half with “The Devil”. He runs over and goes for the cover of what looks like an academic three count. Sam drops for the count and gets to a two before Holden comes flying across the ring to try to break it up.
Then Wrestley kicks out on his own.
“Deathwish” looks down, clearly stunned as Johnny Bonecrusher yells at Sam about the count. Unfortunately for Wrestley, his kick out causes “Deathwish” to leap to his feet, which causes Holden to accidentally kick his own partner in the head. Instead of looking distressed by it, he yells at Wrestley for not getting out of his way. “Deathwish” responds by grabbing the Hipster and hitting him with a nasty spinning backfist which sends Holden corkscrewing from the ring. He turns to attack the Masked Sensation, but can’t find him. Wrestley finds him first.
With two boots to the face courtesy of a top rope dropkick. Wrestley keeps the pressure on, although he’s clearly still a bit groggy from the vicious onslaught that he’d just endured. Wrestley uses his speed and agility, and slowly gains the advantage over “Deathwish” as he bounces all over the ring with hurricanrana’s, dropkicks, a bulldog and a top rope DDT that plants “Deathmatch” in the middle of the ring. He leaps onto the turnbuckle and connects with “Boy, You Turn Me”, then leaps back to his feet, up onto the turnbuckle and comes flying back off. He connects with “Round and Round” for a two.
He gets back up and performs a standing shooting star press, but “Deathmatch” gets his knees up. Wrestley rolls off, clutching at his gut as “Deathmatch” gets to his feet. He staggers backward, which allows “The Iceman” to tag himself in. “Deathmatch” turns on his “partner” with an angry snarl and looks like he’s going to hit him, but instead is coaxed out of the ring by his manager. Konrad steps back in and goes after Wrestley, only for the Mexican Sensation to leap to his own corner and tag in Holden.
The former “Mainstreamer” steps into the ring and goes to lock up when Konrad, but Konrad ducks under it and pops up behind him. He goes to grab Holden for what looks like a suplex when he suddenly frowns. He storms past Holden and yells at his partner, who is about to attack Holden with his chian. Konrad grabs the end of the chain and the two get into a tug-o-war over it. It leads to a rather comedic scene where “Deathmatch” and Konrad are tugging at the chain while Johnny tries to pull his client out of the ring.
Eventually Johnny manages to pull “Deathmatch” out of the ring and Konrad is forced to let go. It causes him to jerk backwards and almost spin around. Right into “Black”. This time Holden makes sure that his opponent isn’t going to get up, as he quickly connects with “The Facade” and gets the academic three count.
Winners: Holden Orson and Wrestley McWrestleface
Time: 9:14
This match is the UGWC feud that refuses to die. I watched these two go at it in LWF in 2009. The fact that I’m still watching them face off ten years later is evidence that I sinned in a past life.
Pierce apparently agrees, as he has left the ring just as the match has begun and is standing at the announce table, listing off to Hans all the matches he has beaten Rydell in the past. I do suppose that I only watched them and he actually lived them, so there’s that. I also suppose it’s a testament to the longevity of both their careers.
Rydell has had enough of Pierce’s nonsense, probably forever, and goes out to get him, but Pierce appears to have just been baiting him and sidesteps his attack, grabbing Rydell and hurling him across the table into the announcers, bar Covert Jay who teleported out or something. Pierce shouts today’s date near Hans’ head as a final listing, loud enough for it to be heard through his headset, and drags Rydell back to the ring and shoves him in. Pierce climbs onto the ring and steps through the ropes, but Rydell springs off the mat and drills him with the Tip of the Spear, Pierce narrowly kicking out at two.
Rydell wants to end this quickly, waving Pierce to his feet and going for the Virus of Life, but Pierce counters it into the Breakdown, and rolls away right away, holding his ribs where Rydell just speared him. Pierce pounds the mat a few times and uses the ropes to pull himself up, Rydell charges at him, but Pierce backdrops him over the ropes to the outside. Pierce looks about to vault the ropes to splash Rydell, but thinks better of it, dropping to the mat and rolling out under the bottom rope, guarding his ribs with one arm. Rydell punches him in the gut from his knees, but Pierce responds with a knee to the chin, then grabs Rydell and hurls him into the steel steps, as commentary underscores the disgust that these two have for each other. Covert Jay has also apparently teleported back to the commentary position and took advantage of the opportunity to procure nachos for himself.
Pierce lays the boots to Rydell on the outside, and rolls in and back out to break up the ten count. Pierce goes back to pull Rydell up, but Rydell kicks his legs out from under him, and Pierce smacks his head on the steps. Rydell gets to his feet and throws Pierce into the ring. Pierce tries to stumble back to his feet, but Rydell slides in and drops him with the Virus of Life, and gets the three.
Winner: Dave Rydell
Time: 6:14
Rydell calls for a microphone and lays out a challenge.
Just before the bell rings to start the Main Event, Ichabod makes another appearance.
The #ClearConnection are all smiles after hearing the announcement from Ichabod, and their two opponents each have a wary eye on the other. Looks like after a few tense moments of gritted-teeth conversation, it was be Bordy starting things off against her daughter-in-law, Kenzi.
Bordy makes a beeline right towards Kenzi, backing her into a neutral corner and laying into her with stiff punches and kicks. After rocking Kenzi’s jaw with an uppercut, Bordy shoots her across the ring, Kenzi slamming into the corner. Bordy follows right behind, connecting with a running clothesline that lifts Kenzi off the ground and results in her laying across the turnbuckle. Bordy begins assaulting Kenzi with headbutts to the abdomen, not stopping until Glenn Burke’s count reaches four. Grabbing her daughter-in-law by the hair and yanking her off the turnbuckles, Kenzi hits the mat hard. Bordy jumps onto the back of Kenzi and begins stomping the ever-loving shit out of her, again resulting in Glenn Burke performing a mandatory five-count, with Bordy relenting the attack at four.
Bordy pulls Kenzi to her feet, before sending her back to the mat with a sloppy X-Factor, and then gets back to her feet and turns towards Zane Scott. Slowly walking over towards him, she glares at him for a few moments, before slowly extending her hand to tag him in. Zane enters and connects with a boot to the midsection of the rising Kenzi Grey, and then lifts her in the air for a vertical suplex. Kenzi floats over and lands behind Zane, connecting with a quick kick to the outside of the right knee of ‘The Personification of Pain’, before rolling him up with a schoolboy. Zane kicks out at one, but eats a kick to the face as he attempts to get back to his feet. Kenzi grabs him in a front facelock and spikes him with a DDT, and then runs over and tags in Roxy.
The #ClearConnection both take off towards the ropes as Zane is working his way back to his feet, and send him back to the mat with a double running bulldog. Roxy over to Bordy and connects with a clubbing forearm blow that sends the Chaos Champion off the apron and down to the floor, as Kenzi movesin behind of Zane as he begins getting back to his feet. Roxy throws a superkick that catches Zane in the jaw, just as Kenzi executes a legsweep, and the big man hits the mat hard. Kenzi over to the ropes and slingshots herself out of the ring, flattening Bordy with a crossbody, as Roxy makes the cover on Zane but only gets a two-count.
Roxy pulls Zane back to his feet and executes a standing frankensteiner, sending Zane down in a hurry. She hooks the leg, but he manages to slip a shoulder up at two-and-a-half. Roxy to her feet, watching as Zane slowly begins trying to get to his, and she bounces off the ropes, sending him back to the mat with a spinning heel kick. She gets back to her feet and makes the tag to Kenzi, who jumps onto the top rope and springboards off, connecting with a moonsault. She hooks the leg, but Zane kicks out again.
Kenzi to her feet and grabs the right leg of Zane Scott, and lands numerous kicks to the back of his knee and his hamstring. She drops an elbow across his knee and begins wrenching at his leg, but Zane is able to connect with a crossface that stuns Kenzi. He suddenly applies a rear-naked choke, but is forced to release the hold when Burke begins the three-count due to Zane’s shoulders both being down on the mat. Both slowly crawling towards their respective corners now, looking for a tag.
Zane reaches his corner first, but Bordy hesitates a moment, before tagging herself into the match. Roxy is legal again, too, sends Bordy to the mat with a hip attack that catches the Chaos Champ in the face. Cotton drags de Dieu back to her feet and hangs her out to dry over the top rope with a reverse vertical suplex, and then she flies over towards Zane and connects with a dropkick to his knee that knocks him off the apron, and out onto the floor. Roxy grabs Bordy in a front facelock and plants her with a DDT, and then slides under the bottom rope and heads out to the floor. She drags Zane the rest of the way to his feet, and then grabs his right leg, and sends him back to the floor with a dragonscrew legwhip. She slides back in and makes the cover on Bordy, but only gets a two-count.
#ClearConnection working as a finely tuned machine now, as Roxy tags back out to Kenzi. Kenz connects with a sling blade to her mother-in-law, before fully mounting her and raining down stiff right hands. Covert Jay is surely enjoying this at the moment. Kenzi drags Bordy back to her feet and lifts her high into the air, connecting with a vertical suplex. Popping her hips, she rolls through and drags her back to her feet, and this time drops her with a falcons arrow. Grabbing the leg she looks for the pin, but Zane breaks up the pin attempt with a boot to the back of Kenzi’s head.
Burke admonishing Zane to exit the ring now, as Kenzi shakes loose the cobwebs. Le Bord slowly getting to her feet now, but is sent back down to the mat with a One Hit Wonder. Kenzi tags Roxy back in, and the two run over and connect with shots to Zane that send him down to a knee on the apron. He attempts to get into the ring, but Burke is there to stop him, allowing the #ClearConnection the opportunity to double-up on the Chaos Champ. It’s Kick the Cat time, and Covert Jay stands and applauds the Kitty Buster portion of the move, because of course he does. Roxy drags Bordy from the corner and makes the cover, but the Chaos Champ is still too close to the ropes, and breaks the count by draping her leg over the bottom one.
Roxy back to her feet and turns to look over at Kenzi, but is sent to the mat by Zane with a thunderous ace cutter that she never saw coming. Zane back to his feet in time to see Kenzi coming towards him, and hits a spinebuster on her. He looks down at Bordy for a few moments, before grabbing her by the arm and dragging her over to their corner. He steps back threw the ropes, reaches over, and tags himself in to the match.
Zane over to Roxy and rips her to her feet, lifting her into the air, and dropping her onto the turnbuckle with snake eyes. Kenzi over to him now and connects with a forearm shot to the back, but it has little effect. Turning towards her, he grabs a hold of her and throws her halfway across the ring with a judo throw. He moves over towards Kenzi and looks to go for Salt the Earth, but Roxy connects with a dropkick to that right knee, sending Zane back down to the mat. Roxy connects with a Muff Diver and makes the cover, but Bordy is in to break up the attempt.
Roxy tags Kenzi back in, and she immediately connects with a Breakout Performance. She makes the cover, but Zane kicks out at two-and-three-quarters. Kenzi to her feet, waiting on Zane to get back to his. She goes for a One Hit Wonder, but Zane side-steps it. Grabbing her in a full-nelson, he lifts her up and drops her with the Antidote. Roxy into the ring and attempts a clothesline, but Zane ducks under. She turns back towards him, but he connects with a kick to the stomach, and then lifts her up and connects with an Egregious Use of Force. He’s unable to make the cover though, as he reaches for his knee.
Le Bord telling him to tag her in as he slowly gets to his feet. He glares at her for a moment as he walks over towards her, before telling her he’s got it handled. He turns back towards Kenzi, but Bordy reaches over the top rope and tags herself into the mat. She eyes Roxy as the ‘Bubblegum Bombshell’ gets to her feet, and then applies a bearhug, before headbutting the absolute shit out of her. After ten headbutts (the crowd counted along with them), she kicks Roxy in the stomach, knocking her through the ropes and out to the floor. Turning back towards her daughter-in-law, she connects with Le Doux Sommeil de Dieu, and this one is over.
Winners: Le Bord de Dieu and Zane Scott
Time: 11:27
Le Bord and Zane stare at one another for a moment, as Glenn Burke gets in between them and raises their arms in the air. Roxy slides in behind the two of them and connects with a vicious chop block to the back of Zane’s right knee, sending him down in a heap. She begins stomping at Zane’s knee as Bordy realizes what is going on. The reigning UGWC Chaos Champion then grabs Roxy by the hair, but the blonde vixen manages to get away, exiting the ring and backpedaling up the ramp with her #ClearConnection cohort. Le Bord watches the two of them reach the top of the stage, before turning her attention to her opponent for next week, who glares up at her from the mat.

Dave Rydell vs Travis Pierce
This match is the UGWC feud that refuses to die. I watched these two go at it in LWF in 2009. The fact that I’m still watching them face off ten years later is evidence that I sinned in a past life.

Rydell punches him in the gut from his knees, but Pierce responds with a knee to the chin, then grabs Rydell and hurls him into the steel steps, as commentary underscores the disgust that these two have for each other. Covert Jay has also apparently teleported back to the commentary position and took advantage of the opportunity to procure nachos for himself.
Pierce lays the boots to Rydell on the outside, and rolls in and back out to break up the ten count. Pierce goes back to pull Rydell up, but Rydell kicks his legs out from under him, and Pierce smacks his head on the steps. Rydell gets to his feet and throws Pierce into the ring. Pierce tries to stumble back to his feet, but Rydell slides in and drops him with the Virus of Life, and gets the three.

#ClearConnection vs Le Bord de Dieu and Zane Scott
Just before the bell rings to start the Main Event, Ichabod makes another appearance.
The #ClearConnection are all smiles after hearing the announcement from Ichabod, and their two opponents each have a wary eye on the other. Looks like after a few tense moments of gritted-teeth conversation, it was be Bordy starting things off against her daughter-in-law, Kenzi.
Bordy makes a beeline right towards Kenzi, backing her into a neutral corner and laying into her with stiff punches and kicks. After rocking Kenzi’s jaw with an uppercut, Bordy shoots her across the ring, Kenzi slamming into the corner. Bordy follows right behind, connecting with a running clothesline that lifts Kenzi off the ground and results in her laying across the turnbuckle. Bordy begins assaulting Kenzi with headbutts to the abdomen, not stopping until Glenn Burke’s count reaches four. Grabbing her daughter-in-law by the hair and yanking her off the turnbuckles, Kenzi hits the mat hard. Bordy jumps onto the back of Kenzi and begins stomping the ever-loving shit out of her, again resulting in Glenn Burke performing a mandatory five-count, with Bordy relenting the attack at four.
Bordy pulls Kenzi to her feet, before sending her back to the mat with a sloppy X-Factor, and then gets back to her feet and turns towards Zane Scott. Slowly walking over towards him, she glares at him for a few moments, before slowly extending her hand to tag him in. Zane enters and connects with a boot to the midsection of the rising Kenzi Grey, and then lifts her in the air for a vertical suplex. Kenzi floats over and lands behind Zane, connecting with a quick kick to the outside of the right knee of ‘The Personification of Pain’, before rolling him up with a schoolboy. Zane kicks out at one, but eats a kick to the face as he attempts to get back to his feet. Kenzi grabs him in a front facelock and spikes him with a DDT, and then runs over and tags in Roxy.
The #ClearConnection both take off towards the ropes as Zane is working his way back to his feet, and send him back to the mat with a double running bulldog. Roxy over to Bordy and connects with a clubbing forearm blow that sends the Chaos Champion off the apron and down to the floor, as Kenzi movesin behind of Zane as he begins getting back to his feet. Roxy throws a superkick that catches Zane in the jaw, just as Kenzi executes a legsweep, and the big man hits the mat hard. Kenzi over to the ropes and slingshots herself out of the ring, flattening Bordy with a crossbody, as Roxy makes the cover on Zane but only gets a two-count.
Roxy pulls Zane back to his feet and executes a standing frankensteiner, sending Zane down in a hurry. She hooks the leg, but he manages to slip a shoulder up at two-and-a-half. Roxy to her feet, watching as Zane slowly begins trying to get to his, and she bounces off the ropes, sending him back to the mat with a spinning heel kick. She gets back to her feet and makes the tag to Kenzi, who jumps onto the top rope and springboards off, connecting with a moonsault. She hooks the leg, but Zane kicks out again.
Kenzi to her feet and grabs the right leg of Zane Scott, and lands numerous kicks to the back of his knee and his hamstring. She drops an elbow across his knee and begins wrenching at his leg, but Zane is able to connect with a crossface that stuns Kenzi. He suddenly applies a rear-naked choke, but is forced to release the hold when Burke begins the three-count due to Zane’s shoulders both being down on the mat. Both slowly crawling towards their respective corners now, looking for a tag.
Zane reaches his corner first, but Bordy hesitates a moment, before tagging herself into the match. Roxy is legal again, too, sends Bordy to the mat with a hip attack that catches the Chaos Champ in the face. Cotton drags de Dieu back to her feet and hangs her out to dry over the top rope with a reverse vertical suplex, and then she flies over towards Zane and connects with a dropkick to his knee that knocks him off the apron, and out onto the floor. Roxy grabs Bordy in a front facelock and plants her with a DDT, and then slides under the bottom rope and heads out to the floor. She drags Zane the rest of the way to his feet, and then grabs his right leg, and sends him back to the floor with a dragonscrew legwhip. She slides back in and makes the cover on Bordy, but only gets a two-count.
#ClearConnection working as a finely tuned machine now, as Roxy tags back out to Kenzi. Kenz connects with a sling blade to her mother-in-law, before fully mounting her and raining down stiff right hands. Covert Jay is surely enjoying this at the moment. Kenzi drags Bordy back to her feet and lifts her high into the air, connecting with a vertical suplex. Popping her hips, she rolls through and drags her back to her feet, and this time drops her with a falcons arrow. Grabbing the leg she looks for the pin, but Zane breaks up the pin attempt with a boot to the back of Kenzi’s head.
Burke admonishing Zane to exit the ring now, as Kenzi shakes loose the cobwebs. Le Bord slowly getting to her feet now, but is sent back down to the mat with a One Hit Wonder. Kenzi tags Roxy back in, and the two run over and connect with shots to Zane that send him down to a knee on the apron. He attempts to get into the ring, but Burke is there to stop him, allowing the #ClearConnection the opportunity to double-up on the Chaos Champ. It’s Kick the Cat time, and Covert Jay stands and applauds the Kitty Buster portion of the move, because of course he does. Roxy drags Bordy from the corner and makes the cover, but the Chaos Champ is still too close to the ropes, and breaks the count by draping her leg over the bottom one.
Roxy back to her feet and turns to look over at Kenzi, but is sent to the mat by Zane with a thunderous ace cutter that she never saw coming. Zane back to his feet in time to see Kenzi coming towards him, and hits a spinebuster on her. He looks down at Bordy for a few moments, before grabbing her by the arm and dragging her over to their corner. He steps back threw the ropes, reaches over, and tags himself in to the match.
Zane over to Roxy and rips her to her feet, lifting her into the air, and dropping her onto the turnbuckle with snake eyes. Kenzi over to him now and connects with a forearm shot to the back, but it has little effect. Turning towards her, he grabs a hold of her and throws her halfway across the ring with a judo throw. He moves over towards Kenzi and looks to go for Salt the Earth, but Roxy connects with a dropkick to that right knee, sending Zane back down to the mat. Roxy connects with a Muff Diver and makes the cover, but Bordy is in to break up the attempt.
Roxy tags Kenzi back in, and she immediately connects with a Breakout Performance. She makes the cover, but Zane kicks out at two-and-three-quarters. Kenzi to her feet, waiting on Zane to get back to his. She goes for a One Hit Wonder, but Zane side-steps it. Grabbing her in a full-nelson, he lifts her up and drops her with the Antidote. Roxy into the ring and attempts a clothesline, but Zane ducks under. She turns back towards him, but he connects with a kick to the stomach, and then lifts her up and connects with an Egregious Use of Force. He’s unable to make the cover though, as he reaches for his knee.
Le Bord telling him to tag her in as he slowly gets to his feet. He glares at her for a moment as he walks over towards her, before telling her he’s got it handled. He turns back towards Kenzi, but Bordy reaches over the top rope and tags herself into the mat. She eyes Roxy as the ‘Bubblegum Bombshell’ gets to her feet, and then applies a bearhug, before headbutting the absolute shit out of her. After ten headbutts (the crowd counted along with them), she kicks Roxy in the stomach, knocking her through the ropes and out to the floor. Turning back towards her daughter-in-law, she connects with Le Doux Sommeil de Dieu, and this one is over.
Winners: Le Bord de Dieu and Zane Scott
Time: 11:27
Le Bord and Zane stare at one another for a moment, as Glenn Burke gets in between them and raises their arms in the air. Roxy slides in behind the two of them and connects with a vicious chop block to the back of Zane’s right knee, sending him down in a heap. She begins stomping at Zane’s knee as Bordy realizes what is going on. The reigning UGWC Chaos Champion then grabs Roxy by the hair, but the blonde vixen manages to get away, exiting the ring and backpedaling up the ramp with her #ClearConnection cohort. Le Bord watches the two of them reach the top of the stage, before turning her attention to her opponent for next week, who glares up at her from the mat.
