Welcome to GlobalTrollz LIVE Synergy Coverage for April 8th, 2019!
Championship Roll Call:
World Heavyweight Champion: Angelica Vaughn
Cross-Hemisphere Champion: Dave Rydell
Cooperative Champions: Donovan Hastings and Kenzi Grey
Chaos Champion: Le Bord de Dieu
We are two weeks removed from Lord of Trios, where we witnessed Angelica Vaughn retain her World Championship after a hard fought battle against Zane Scott and Le Bord de Dieu. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, however, because after the Trios team of Donovan Hastings, Roxy Cotton, and Kenzi Grey won the Trios tournament, Miss Vaughn’s next championship defense will be against either one of her bff’s in #CoolKids cohorts Kenzi Grey or Roxy Cotton, or UGWC Legend Donovan Hastings.
Before we travel down that road however, tonight’s action will see ‘The Icon of Entertainment’ Travis Pierce take on the high-flyer Wrestley McWrestleface; the aforementioned Ms. Cotton takes on the German superstar Konrad Raab; there is a huge six-man cooperative match where we will see the team of Zane Scott, Holden Orson, and Hide Yamazaki take on the team of Dave Rydell, Le Bord de Dieu, and the UGWC World Champion Angelica Vaughn; and in tonight’s main event match, Kenzi Grey will attempt to finally settle things with ‘Vain’ Alan Wallace in a chairs match.
Your Synergy coverage begins, now…
- Vinegar, Hans, and Jay give us the usual intro that transitions into childish bickering. [/CopyPaste]
We open Synergy with an address by the new Lord of Trios winners.
‘The Icon of Entertainment” enters first to an explosion of pyro and walks to the ring as if he’s the king of the world. The events of “Lord of Trios” obviously aren’t affecting him, or that he’s not the beloved hero that he thinks he is. If there’s one thing that Pierce can always be counted on for, it’s incredibly high self-confidence. Hazel East does her pre-match checks, which Pierce acts like are just Hazel checking him out (the dude’s confident).
Wrestley McWrestleface enters shortly afterward and he receives the cheer that Pierce thought he was getting. He walks out onto the stage with a look like he’s blown away by the adulation he gets, which just shows how much of a contrast in personality and style the two men in this match are. He bounds down to the ring, slapping hands and signing autographs through the flips, twists and corkscrews. He slingshots over the top rope, bounces around the ring for a while and finally settles in his corner so that Hazel East can check him.
Hazel calls for the bell and Pierce immediately flattens Wrestley with a stiff boot to the face. He stays on “The Slenderweight Sensation”, pulls him up and slams him down with a snap suplex. He pulls Wrestley up and transitions into a Double Underhook backbreaker. Covert Jay comments that Pierce should be going after his legs and gets snapped at by Lieberjosch.
Back in the ring, Pierce throws Wrestley into the corner and follows it up with a dropkick that causes Wrestley to collapse in the corner. Pierce yanks him up by his mask and acts like he’s going to pull it off, but suplexes Wrestley into center ring, then turns and leaps up onto the turnbuckle. He crashes down onto Wrestley with “The Piercing Blow” and goes for a pin, but Wrestley kicks out after two. Pierce responds as it he’s profoundly offended by this as Wrestley gasps for air. He plays to the crowd and acts like he’s getting the biggest cheer in wrestling history. The reality is somewhat different, but Pierce doesn’t care as he leaps up onto the turnbuckle for a second “Piercing Blow”. He leaps off.
And eats empty canvas.
Wrestley rolls out of the way at the last second and as soon as Pierce slams into the mat, he kips up, runs back off of the ropes and plants Pierce with a headscissors driver. He pops up, bounces off of the ropes and slams into Pierce with a dropkick that catches him square in the face, then lands a standing moonsault across his back. He rolls off, kips up and lands a standing senton, which he rolls through and leaps back to his feet to a loud cheer. He plays to the crowd for a few moments, then turns as Pierce begins to crawl to his feet. Wrestley springs into action, bounces off of the ropes behind. He flips over Pierce, twists in mid air, grabs Pierce by the top of his head and lands in a seated jawbreaker. Pierce springs back up clutching at his jaw as he staggers backwards.
Wrestley runs up the turnbuckle, faces the crowd and leaps as soon as Pierce turns towards him. He flattens Pierce with a moonsault and goes for a quick pin, but Pierce kicks out after two. Wrestley pops to his feet and promptly drops to his knees as Pierce drives his foot up into the crotch of the “Slenderweight Sensation”. Thankfully for him, Hazel doesn’t see it as Wrestley is in her way. She asks Pierce if he did what it looks like he did, but he emphatically denies it. He stands up and smiles at the writhing McWresteface and promptly stomps on his right knee. Pierce repeats the move until Wrestley is clutching at his knee in agony. Pierce scoops Wrestley up and lifts him overhead, then drops him knees first into the mat. Wrestley yells in agony, but is quickly cut off as he eats a prompt “Signing Off”. He goes for the pin, but Wrestley kicks out at two and a half.
Pierce slaps his hands together at Hazel, but she puts up two fingers.
Pierce whirls on Wrestley, who has slowly gotten to his knees and drills him with a second “Signing Off”, then pulls him up and connects with “The Breakdown”, then leaps up onto the turnbuckle and smashes into his opponent with “The Piercing Blow”. He immediately wraps Wrestley’s leg, but the man named Joe kicks out at two-point-nine. Pierce leaps up and berated Hazel for a “slow count”. She shows him two again and tells him to back off. He spins on Wrestley, scoops him up and connects with a second “Breakdown”. He yanks Wrestley up by the horns on his mask, and drives his knees into the face of the popular rookie with “The Truth Hurts”. He drops down like he’s going to pin him, but instead yanks him up and connects with a second “The Truth Hurts”. He drops for a somewhat arrogant looking pin and three seconds later he’s declared the winner.
Winner: Travis Pierce
Time: 11:46
Commentary reminds us that Raab was a part of Team Ego that faced the Lords of Cool in the semi-final of the Lord of Trios tournament as well as Raab’s confrontation with them at the top of the show, because they think we have the attention span of a gnat.
Raab opens with a series of arm drags, flinging Roxy around the ring. He wraps her up in a waistlock, but she stomps on his foot to get him to release, and backflips into a dropkick. Raab stumbles back into a corner, and Roxy handsprings into an elbow, but Raab moves out of the way and she crashes into the turnbuckle. She stumbles out, and Raab wraps her up and executes a release German suplex, and she tumbles through the ropes to the outside.
Raab waits patiently as Roxy gets back to her feet and motions her to come back into the ring, but Roxy waves him off and begins to walk up the ramp. Raab rolls out and hurries after her, and as he nears her he reaches out, but she spins around and slaps him in the face. Raab stumbles back and Roxy charges at him, but he recovers in time to take her down with a Lou Thesz Press. He scoops Roxy onto his shoulder and carries her back down the ramp to the ringside area, but she floats off his back and shoves him face first into the ringpost. Roxy grabs Raab and forces him back into the ring, and she covers with her feet on the ropes for leverage, but referee Brian Chartreuse spots them and stops the count at two.
Roxy argues briefly with Chartreuse and tells him to count faster bb, as meanwhile Raab rolls away into the corner. Roxy turns her attention back to him and charges for the Kitty Buster, only for Raab to move out of the way and she crashes again into the turnbuckle. Raab lifts her into a back suplex, goozles her in anticipation of the Iceinator, but as he lifts her into the air she swings her legs up and wraps them around his neck, and pulls Raab with her to the ground in the Wet Dream!
Raab is fading fast, but he manages to reach back with his foot and reach the ropes. Roxy releases and rolls to her feet, but the damage is already done as Raab is holding his throat. He tries to get up, but Roxy has him and plants him with the Double-D DT, and that’s good for the three.
Winner: Roxy Cotton
Time: 9:18
All members from both teams make their separate entrances, as Hans and Jay bicker back and forth like an old married couple, and Vinegar tries to play peacemaker in the most boring, monotone voice ever. Sam Green finally calls for the bell, and this match is officially underway.
Holden Orson and Dave Rydell start things off, as ‘The Number One Hitmaker’ barks orders at Yamazaki, as ‘Deathwish’ paces back and forth out on the floor staring at Zane Scott the entire time. The one-time Cooperative Champions lock up, with Orson immediately interlocking his fingers around the back of Dave’s head and connecting with numerous knee strikes that Rydell absorbs with his face. Overhead throw by Orson and Rydell lands with a thud, and TAFKATM (the artist formerly known as The Mainstreamer, you uncultured swine) lifts the head of Rydell up and applies a dragon sleeper. Rydell connects with a knee to the top of Orson’s head before he can fully cinch in the move, forcing him to break. Dave back to his feet and connects with a stiff right hand that staggers Orson, before kicking him in the stomach and sending him to the mat with a snap suplex. Rydell back up again and hits the ropes, flattening Holden out with a rolling senton, before making the cover and getting a one-count.
Angie sticking her hand out and wanting the tag, but Dave ignores her as he pulls Orson back to his feet. Irish whip into a neutral corner, and Rydell hits a running avalanche that crumples Holden in the corner. Rydell takes a few steps back as he waits for Holden to pull himself back to a vertical base, and a superkick might have just sent one of the hipster’s teeth into the third row. It was either that, or spit. Hard to tell from this vantage point. Either way, with Holden sprawled out on the mat, Dave heads to the top rope. Flying elbowdrop hits its mark, and Dave goes for the cover, but the count is broken up at two by Zane Scott. Rydell runs his mouth a bit as Zane steps back out on the apron, before pulling Holden back to his feet and sending him into the corner of Team Angelldy. Running clothesline connects, but before Dave can continue the onslaught, Angelica Vaughn slaps him on the shoulder, tagging herself into the match.
The former UGWC Cooperative Champions have a fairly intense verbal disagreement in the ring, with Rydell obviously displeased that Angie has tagged herself into the match. Meanwhile, the reigning UGWC Chaos Champion stands there and screams at the two of them to pay attention, because Orson is slowly crawling across the ring towards his corner. By the time Angie and Dave realize what is going on, Holden has tagged in Zane, and ‘The Personification of Pain’ sends both of them hard to the mat with a double clothesline. Rydell rolls out under the bottom rope and out to the floor, audibly cursing as a group of teens in the front row begin cheering him on. Hide has stepped up onto the apron, still glaring at Zane, as Scott tosses Vaughn across the ring with a release overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Vaughn back to her feet, but is sent back to the mat with a running boot to the face. Zane pulls Vaughn to her feet and lifts her high into the air, before taking off across the ring and tossing her into the corner with a powerbomb. The World Champion stumbles out from the corner and is hit with a running knee to the jaw that sends her hard to the mat. Zane covers, but the pin attempt is broken up by Le Bord.
Zane measuring Angie as she attempts to return to a vertical base, and he runs towards the ropes, possibly looking for another big boot. He doesn’t get a chance to hit it though, as Hide slaps him in the back of the head, tagging himself into the match. The two men glare at one another, as Sam Green attempts to remind them that they’re partners for this match. Zane finally steps out onto the apron, as Yamazaki focuses on Vaughn. A spinning back fist spins Vaughn around, and then she crumples in a heap as ‘Deathwish’ connects with a chop block. He spikes her with a DDT and makes the cover, but she gets her shoulder up at two. Hide smiles evilly as he drags Vaughn to her feet, before lifting her in the air and connecting with The Tower. He immediately follows that up by executing the Wheel of Fortune, and everyone in the arena knows that the Hanged Man is coming up next, but Hide gets too close to his own corner, and Zane Scott reaches out and tags himself back into the match.
A shoving match between the two men begins, as Johnny Bonecrusher is yelling at ‘Deathwish’ from the outside. Zane finally has enough of the nonsense, and connects with a right hand to the jaw of Yamazaki, that sends him down to the mat. He rolls out of the ring, Bonecrusher running over and saying something to him in his ear. Zane over to Vaughn, leaning over to grab her and pull her to her feet, but she rolls him up with a small package that gets a two-count. After kicking out, Zane quickly gets back to his feet, but Vaughn connects with a backhand slap. Zane grabs her arm and whips her towards the ropes, but misses with a clothesline as Vaughn ducks the attempt. Desperation flying back elbow from Vaughn connects, stunning Zane Scott. Vaughn springboards off the middle rope, but Zane winds up catching her in mid-air and connects with the Splatter Effect. Green makes the count, but Le Bord breaks up the attempt at two-and-a-half.
Zane turns his attention to the Chaos Champion, as Vaughn slowly works her way back to her feet. She jumps onto his back, applying a rear naked choke, as Zane attempts to fling her off. He finally manages to do so, but doesn’t see Rydell in time. Dave hits the Aftershock on Zane Scott, before heading back out to the apron. Vaughn back up and connects with a bicycle kick, before making her way over to her corner. She tags out to Le Bord instead of Rydell though, which looks to infuriate her former partner. Bordy into the ring like her hair is on fire, flailing about with slaps, punches, and kicks, that Zane Scott does his best to cover up for. A running dropkick to the knee brings Zane down to her size, and Le Bord applies a bearhug before beginning to pummel him with multiple headbutts. She then releases the bearhug, transitioning in behind of him and applying Le Doux Sommeil de Dieu. Zane immediately rises to his feet, but she has the hold in deep. His only way out is to backpedal towards his corner and and slam her into it. Yamazaki immediately slaps the back of Zane to tag himself back into the match.
Zane and Hide nose-to-nose again, but Zane steps out onto the apron. Yamazaki turns towards Le Bord, who is slowly crawling across the ring, but Zane shoves Yamazaki from behind. Hide turns around and the two men go nose to nose, as Le Bord finally gets to her corner and extends her hand. Rydell says something to Vaughn, before hopping off the apron and turning his back on the match. Vaughn tags back in and connects with a running knee to the small of Hide’s back. He turns around and Vaughn applies EW!, Yamazaki faltering as Zane Scott simply stands there and watches. With Hide faltering and slumped in the corner, Angie releases the hold, taking off towards the adjacent corner, before returning and connecting with a cannonball.
Angie backpedaling as she waits for Yamazaki to crawl out from the corner, and doesn’t see Orson make the blind tag. Green does though, just as Vaughn connects with #Vaughnemous. Angie makes the cover, but seems confused as to why Sam Green isn’t making the count. Her confusion is cleared up just as Holden Orson rips her to her feet, spins her around, and connects with Black. Hide rolls out of the ring, conferring once more with Johnny, as Orson goes for the cover. Green hits two, but the count is broken up due to a Rydell Bomb from Dave from the top rope. Orson to his holding his back, and never sees the Virus of Life that puts his lights out. Rydell grabs the arm of Angie and drags her over to Orson, where he drops her arm across his chest.
Zane Scott enters the ring to break up the count, but Yamazaki has slid back in as well, grabbing him around the waist and tossing him overhead with The Devil. Sam Green counts the three-count, as Johnny Bonecrusher tosses Yamazaki the steel chain.
Winners: Angelica Vaughn, Le Bord de Dieu, Dave Rydell
Time: 11:57
Yamazaki begins choking Zane with the chain, as Vaughn is stirring. Orson is in La La Land as he rolls under the bottom rope and hits the floor hard. Le Bord stands on the apron, smiling as she takes in the assault that she is witnessing. And Dave Rydell immediately exited the ring after draping Angie’s arm across the chest of Orson, and made his way up the ramp, already having disappeared through the curtain. Angie to her feet and sees what’s going on, and hits a superkick to the back of Hide’s head. Angie checking on Zane now, as Yamazaki shakes away the cobwebs caused by that kick. He begins stalking Angie now, backing her into the corner, as Zane Scott gets to his feet. Zane with a running double axehandle to Yamazaki before he can get his hands on Angelica Vaughn. Zane spins him around, pops him into the air, and connects with a monstrous Murderous Intent.
Yamazaki rolls out of the ring, where Bonecrusher helps him back to his feet, the two men staring into the ring at Zane Scott. Zane and Angie share a look, but neither competitor says a word, before Zane exits the ring and begins backpedaling his way up the ramp, alternating looks between Angelica Vaughn and Hide Yamazaki.
This is a Chairs Match, as we are shown replays of recent attacks by both Kenzi and Vain using chairs. We also see footage from earlier tonight, with Vain standing alongside Raab to answer the challenge laid out by Hastings.
Kenzi and Vain brawl to open the match, and he fights her back into the ropes and clotheslines her over. She snatches up a chair and scrambles to her feet, giving him pause on following her out. Kenzi slides back in and tosses the chair to him. He catches it, but she kicks it into his face, knocking him back into the corner where he slumps against the turnbuckle. She sets up the chair in front of him and charges in with a shotgun dropkick, but he ducks out underneath and she only dropkicks the chair. She rolls away holding her leg, and Vain picks her up into a snap supex, floating into a cover for a two count.
Vain puts the chair in the middle of the ring and sets up the Cherry Popper, looking to drive Kenzi face first into the steel, but she frees her arms and shoves him away. He comes off the ropes into a shoulder tackle, Kenzi springboards into a moonsault, but Vain gets his knees up and catches her across them, cradling her into a pin for another two count.
Both get to their feet, but Kenzi ducks her shoulder and drives it into Vain’s chest, running him back into the turnbuckle, and Kenzi stomps him down to the bottom. Vain is slumped in the corner, and Kenzi sets up the chair in front of him before driving the chair into him with a shotgun dropkick, this time it’s successful. Kenzi pulls Vain out of the corner and covers, but Vain gets his shoulder up at two. Kenzi waves for him to get up, and as Vain stumbles to his feet she goes for the One Hit Wonder, but Vain spins around with chair in hand and swats her out of the air, and Kenzi tumbles through the ropes to ringside.
Vain collects himself and stands near the ropes, he looks about to vault them and splash Kenzi, but Hastings is in the ring behind him and blasts him from behind with the chair. Vain staggers, and Hastings spins him around and plants him with a Facebreaker DDT onto the chair. Hastings rolls out as Kenzi collects herself and comes back in. She picks Vain up into the Blockbuster, and covers for the three.
Winner: Kenzi Grey
Time: 9:18
Hastings comes back into the ring, and he picks up the chair and slams the fallen Vain with it, rolling him onto his chest, and Hastings rains repeated blows to the back as commentary reasons that Hastings is effectively eliminating Vain as Raab’s partner for next week.
Hastings confers briefly with Kenzi, and she helps him set up the chair around Vain’s throat before Hastings props himself up onto the second rope, but Konrad Raab and NBK rush out from backstage and slide into the ring, brawling with Hastings and Kenzi. Raab clotheslines Hastings over the top rope as Kenzi ducks under a clothesline from NBK and ducks out herself. She regroups with Hastings on the ramp as Raab checks on Vain, and NBK stands on the turnbuckle and points at the Co-Op Champions.
End Show
Championship Roll Call:
World Heavyweight Champion: Angelica Vaughn
Cross-Hemisphere Champion: Dave Rydell
Cooperative Champions: Donovan Hastings and Kenzi Grey
Chaos Champion: Le Bord de Dieu
We are two weeks removed from Lord of Trios, where we witnessed Angelica Vaughn retain her World Championship after a hard fought battle against Zane Scott and Le Bord de Dieu. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, however, because after the Trios team of Donovan Hastings, Roxy Cotton, and Kenzi Grey won the Trios tournament, Miss Vaughn’s next championship defense will be against either one of her bff’s in #CoolKids cohorts Kenzi Grey or Roxy Cotton, or UGWC Legend Donovan Hastings.
Before we travel down that road however, tonight’s action will see ‘The Icon of Entertainment’ Travis Pierce take on the high-flyer Wrestley McWrestleface; the aforementioned Ms. Cotton takes on the German superstar Konrad Raab; there is a huge six-man cooperative match where we will see the team of Zane Scott, Holden Orson, and Hide Yamazaki take on the team of Dave Rydell, Le Bord de Dieu, and the UGWC World Champion Angelica Vaughn; and in tonight’s main event match, Kenzi Grey will attempt to finally settle things with ‘Vain’ Alan Wallace in a chairs match.
Your Synergy coverage begins, now…
- Vinegar, Hans, and Jay give us the usual intro that transitions into childish bickering. [/CopyPaste]
We open Synergy with an address by the new Lord of Trios winners.
Travis Pierce versus Wrestley McWrestleface
‘The Icon of Entertainment” enters first to an explosion of pyro and walks to the ring as if he’s the king of the world. The events of “Lord of Trios” obviously aren’t affecting him, or that he’s not the beloved hero that he thinks he is. If there’s one thing that Pierce can always be counted on for, it’s incredibly high self-confidence. Hazel East does her pre-match checks, which Pierce acts like are just Hazel checking him out (the dude’s confident).
Wrestley McWrestleface enters shortly afterward and he receives the cheer that Pierce thought he was getting. He walks out onto the stage with a look like he’s blown away by the adulation he gets, which just shows how much of a contrast in personality and style the two men in this match are. He bounds down to the ring, slapping hands and signing autographs through the flips, twists and corkscrews. He slingshots over the top rope, bounces around the ring for a while and finally settles in his corner so that Hazel East can check him.
Hazel calls for the bell and Pierce immediately flattens Wrestley with a stiff boot to the face. He stays on “The Slenderweight Sensation”, pulls him up and slams him down with a snap suplex. He pulls Wrestley up and transitions into a Double Underhook backbreaker. Covert Jay comments that Pierce should be going after his legs and gets snapped at by Lieberjosch.
Back in the ring, Pierce throws Wrestley into the corner and follows it up with a dropkick that causes Wrestley to collapse in the corner. Pierce yanks him up by his mask and acts like he’s going to pull it off, but suplexes Wrestley into center ring, then turns and leaps up onto the turnbuckle. He crashes down onto Wrestley with “The Piercing Blow” and goes for a pin, but Wrestley kicks out after two. Pierce responds as it he’s profoundly offended by this as Wrestley gasps for air. He plays to the crowd and acts like he’s getting the biggest cheer in wrestling history. The reality is somewhat different, but Pierce doesn’t care as he leaps up onto the turnbuckle for a second “Piercing Blow”. He leaps off.
And eats empty canvas.
Wrestley rolls out of the way at the last second and as soon as Pierce slams into the mat, he kips up, runs back off of the ropes and plants Pierce with a headscissors driver. He pops up, bounces off of the ropes and slams into Pierce with a dropkick that catches him square in the face, then lands a standing moonsault across his back. He rolls off, kips up and lands a standing senton, which he rolls through and leaps back to his feet to a loud cheer. He plays to the crowd for a few moments, then turns as Pierce begins to crawl to his feet. Wrestley springs into action, bounces off of the ropes behind. He flips over Pierce, twists in mid air, grabs Pierce by the top of his head and lands in a seated jawbreaker. Pierce springs back up clutching at his jaw as he staggers backwards.
Wrestley runs up the turnbuckle, faces the crowd and leaps as soon as Pierce turns towards him. He flattens Pierce with a moonsault and goes for a quick pin, but Pierce kicks out after two. Wrestley pops to his feet and promptly drops to his knees as Pierce drives his foot up into the crotch of the “Slenderweight Sensation”. Thankfully for him, Hazel doesn’t see it as Wrestley is in her way. She asks Pierce if he did what it looks like he did, but he emphatically denies it. He stands up and smiles at the writhing McWresteface and promptly stomps on his right knee. Pierce repeats the move until Wrestley is clutching at his knee in agony. Pierce scoops Wrestley up and lifts him overhead, then drops him knees first into the mat. Wrestley yells in agony, but is quickly cut off as he eats a prompt “Signing Off”. He goes for the pin, but Wrestley kicks out at two and a half.
Pierce slaps his hands together at Hazel, but she puts up two fingers.
Pierce whirls on Wrestley, who has slowly gotten to his knees and drills him with a second “Signing Off”, then pulls him up and connects with “The Breakdown”, then leaps up onto the turnbuckle and smashes into his opponent with “The Piercing Blow”. He immediately wraps Wrestley’s leg, but the man named Joe kicks out at two-point-nine. Pierce leaps up and berated Hazel for a “slow count”. She shows him two again and tells him to back off. He spins on Wrestley, scoops him up and connects with a second “Breakdown”. He yanks Wrestley up by the horns on his mask, and drives his knees into the face of the popular rookie with “The Truth Hurts”. He drops down like he’s going to pin him, but instead yanks him up and connects with a second “The Truth Hurts”. He drops for a somewhat arrogant looking pin and three seconds later he’s declared the winner.
Winner: Travis Pierce

Konrad Raab vs Roxy Cotton
Commentary reminds us that Raab was a part of Team Ego that faced the Lords of Cool in the semi-final of the Lord of Trios tournament as well as Raab’s confrontation with them at the top of the show, because they think we have the attention span of a gnat.
Raab opens with a series of arm drags, flinging Roxy around the ring. He wraps her up in a waistlock, but she stomps on his foot to get him to release, and backflips into a dropkick. Raab stumbles back into a corner, and Roxy handsprings into an elbow, but Raab moves out of the way and she crashes into the turnbuckle. She stumbles out, and Raab wraps her up and executes a release German suplex, and she tumbles through the ropes to the outside.
Raab waits patiently as Roxy gets back to her feet and motions her to come back into the ring, but Roxy waves him off and begins to walk up the ramp. Raab rolls out and hurries after her, and as he nears her he reaches out, but she spins around and slaps him in the face. Raab stumbles back and Roxy charges at him, but he recovers in time to take her down with a Lou Thesz Press.

Raab lifts her into a back suplex, goozles her in anticipation of the Iceinator, but as he lifts her into the air she swings her legs up and wraps them around his neck, and pulls Raab with her to the ground in the Wet Dream!
Raab is fading fast, but he manages to reach back with his foot and reach the ropes. Roxy releases and rolls to her feet, but the damage is already done as Raab is holding his throat. He tries to get up, but Roxy has him and plants him with the Double-D DT, and that’s good for the three.

~Commercial Break~
Angelica Vaughn, Dave Rydell, and Le Bord de Dieu vs Hide Yamazaki, Holden Orson, and Zane Scott
All members from both teams make their separate entrances, as Hans and Jay bicker back and forth like an old married couple, and Vinegar tries to play peacemaker in the most boring, monotone voice ever. Sam Green finally calls for the bell, and this match is officially underway.
Holden Orson and Dave Rydell start things off, as ‘The Number One Hitmaker’ barks orders at Yamazaki, as ‘Deathwish’ paces back and forth out on the floor staring at Zane Scott the entire time. The one-time Cooperative Champions lock up, with Orson immediately interlocking his fingers around the back of Dave’s head and connecting with numerous knee strikes that Rydell absorbs with his face. Overhead throw by Orson and Rydell lands with a thud, and TAFKATM (the artist formerly known as The Mainstreamer, you uncultured swine) lifts the head of Rydell up and applies a dragon sleeper.

Angie sticking her hand out and wanting the tag, but Dave ignores her as he pulls Orson back to his feet. Irish whip into a neutral corner, and Rydell hits a running avalanche that crumples Holden in the corner. Rydell takes a few steps back as he waits for Holden to pull himself back to a vertical base, and a superkick might have just sent one of the hipster’s teeth into the third row. It was either that, or spit. Hard to tell from this vantage point. Either way, with Holden sprawled out on the mat, Dave heads to the top rope. Flying elbowdrop hits its mark, and Dave goes for the cover, but the count is broken up at two by Zane Scott. Rydell runs his mouth a bit as Zane steps back out on the apron, before pulling Holden back to his feet and sending him into the corner of Team Angelldy. Running clothesline connects, but before Dave can continue the onslaught, Angelica Vaughn slaps him on the shoulder, tagging herself into the match.
The former UGWC Cooperative Champions have a fairly intense verbal disagreement in the ring, with Rydell obviously displeased that Angie has tagged herself into the match. Meanwhile, the reigning UGWC Chaos Champion stands there and screams at the two of them to pay attention, because Orson is slowly crawling across the ring towards his corner. By the time Angie and Dave realize what is going on, Holden has tagged in Zane, and ‘The Personification of Pain’ sends both of them hard to the mat with a double clothesline. Rydell rolls out under the bottom rope and out to the floor, audibly cursing as a group of teens in the front row begin cheering him on. Hide has stepped up onto the apron, still glaring at Zane, as Scott tosses Vaughn across the ring with a release overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Vaughn back to her feet, but is sent back to the mat with a running boot to the face. Zane pulls Vaughn to her feet and lifts her high into the air, before taking off across the ring and tossing her into the corner with a powerbomb. The World Champion stumbles out from the corner and is hit with a running knee to the jaw that sends her hard to the mat. Zane covers, but the pin attempt is broken up by Le Bord.
Zane measuring Angie as she attempts to return to a vertical base, and he runs towards the ropes, possibly looking for another big boot. He doesn’t get a chance to hit it though, as Hide slaps him in the back of the head, tagging himself into the match.

A spinning back fist spins Vaughn around, and then she crumples in a heap as ‘Deathwish’ connects with a chop block. He spikes her with a DDT and makes the cover, but she gets her shoulder up at two. Hide smiles evilly as he drags Vaughn to her feet, before lifting her in the air and connecting with The Tower. He immediately follows that up by executing the Wheel of Fortune, and everyone in the arena knows that the Hanged Man is coming up next, but Hide gets too close to his own corner, and Zane Scott reaches out and tags himself back into the match.

Vaughn back up and connects with a bicycle kick, before making her way over to her corner. She tags out to Le Bord instead of Rydell though, which looks to infuriate her former partner.

A running dropkick to the knee brings Zane down to her size, and Le Bord applies a bearhug before beginning to pummel him with multiple headbutts. She then releases the bearhug, transitioning in behind of him and applying Le Doux Sommeil de Dieu. Zane immediately rises to his feet, but she has the hold in deep.

Alan Wallace vs Kenzi Grey
This is a Chairs Match, as we are shown replays of recent attacks by both Kenzi and Vain using chairs. We also see footage from earlier tonight, with Vain standing alongside Raab to answer the challenge laid out by Hastings.
Kenzi and Vain brawl to open the match, and he fights her back into the ropes and clotheslines her over. She snatches up a chair and scrambles to her feet, giving him pause on following her out. Kenzi slides back in and tosses the chair to him. He catches it, but she kicks it into his face, knocking him back into the corner where he slumps against the turnbuckle. She sets up the chair in front of him and charges in with a shotgun dropkick, but he ducks out underneath and she only dropkicks the chair. She rolls away holding her leg, and Vain picks her up into a snap supex, floating into a cover for a two count.
Vain puts the chair in the middle of the ring and sets up the Cherry Popper, looking to drive Kenzi face first into the steel, but she frees her arms and shoves him away. He comes off the ropes into a shoulder tackle, Kenzi springboards into a moonsault, but Vain gets his knees up and catches her across them, cradling her into a pin for another two count.
Both get to their feet, but Kenzi ducks her shoulder and drives it into Vain’s chest, running him back into the turnbuckle, and Kenzi stomps him down to the bottom. Vain is slumped in the corner, and Kenzi sets up the chair in front of him before driving the chair into him with a shotgun dropkick, this time it’s successful. Kenzi pulls Vain out of the corner and covers, but Vain gets his shoulder up at two. Kenzi waves for him to get up, and as Vain stumbles to his feet she goes for the One Hit Wonder, but Vain spins around with chair in hand and swats her out of the air, and Kenzi tumbles through the ropes to ringside.
Vain collects himself and stands near the ropes, he looks about to vault them and splash Kenzi, but Hastings is in the ring behind him and blasts him from behind with the chair. Vain staggers, and Hastings spins him around and plants him with a Facebreaker DDT onto the chair. Hastings rolls out as Kenzi collects herself and comes back in. She picks Vain up into the Blockbuster, and covers for the three.
Winner: Kenzi Grey
Time: 9:18
Hastings comes back into the ring, and he picks up the chair and slams the fallen Vain with it, rolling him onto his chest, and Hastings rains repeated blows to the back as commentary reasons that Hastings is effectively eliminating Vain as Raab’s partner for next week.
Hastings confers briefly with Kenzi, and she helps him set up the chair around Vain’s throat before Hastings props himself up onto the second rope, but Konrad Raab and NBK rush out from backstage and slide into the ring, brawling with Hastings and Kenzi. Raab clotheslines Hastings over the top rope as Kenzi ducks under a clothesline from NBK and ducks out herself. She regroups with Hastings on the ramp as Raab checks on Vain, and NBK stands on the turnbuckle and points at the Co-Op Champions.
