Your Synergy coverage begins, now…
Ezra is out first and commentary makes note of how Ezra and Ezekial did against the Co-Operative Champs. Phrixus’ music hits but he slips in behind Ezra. He immediately hits the Numbing and covers but Ezra kicks out just after 2. Fear pulls Ezra up and hits a snap suplex, trying to do as much damage as he can but Ezra is able to get up and shake the cobwebs off. He turns around, right into a superkick from Fear. Fear climbs to the top rope and looks to go Meteor Press but Ezra has rolled out of the ring. Fear drops down and goes towards the ropes. Ezra is back up and grabs the foot of Fear and tries to pull him out of the ring. He does so but slides right back in. As Phrixus comes back in, Ezra hits a running knee to the face.
Ezra picks Fear up and whips him into the ropes. He hits a back body drop. White again into an arm drag. He does it again and hits a hip toss. One more time but catches Fear with a hard clothesline. He covers but only gets 2. Ezra pulls Fear up and whips him into the corner. He hits a body splash but Fear catches him and tosses him out with a spinebuster. Fear charges and hits a running senton. He picks Ezra up and goes for a full nelson slam but Ezra breaks out. He hits Fear with a superkick to the knee…Lightning Strike!!! Ezra goes to cover Fear but gets a long 2 count. He pulls Fear up but within a second, Fear slips behind Ezra and hits the Numbing. Both men are down for about 7 seconds until Fear crawls for the cover and only gets 2. A long 2, but only 2.
Both men get back up after recovering a little. They lock up and brawl back and forth a bit. Fear goes for a suplex on Ezra, but it’s reversed. Then reversed again. And round and round we go with a suplex reversalfest. Eventually, Fear gets Ezra up, but Ezra comes down with a knee strike from above! He shoves Fear into the corner and follows up with a hard knee to the midsection. Ezra pulls Fear out of the corner and goes for a suplex, but Fear floats behind and traps Ezra. He goes for the Numbing once more but Ezra reaches back and hits Peace Out! He covers Fear for 3!
Winner: Ezra Wolf
Time: 14:44
Commentary notes that this is the first Synergy match for Holden Orson in years, as Orson looks disappointed to have come to the ring alone, whereas Kyra is accompanied by her co-champion, Ken Davison.
Orson focusing on his Labokkatao fighting style early in the match, attempting kicks and open hand strikes that Kyra is able to deflect or evade. She looks for an opening to strike back with an uppercut of her own, but Holden avoids it and grounds her with a double leg takedown. Holden slips into a side headlock, attempting to maintain control, but Kyra works back to her feet and delivers a series of elbow strikes to knock Holden loose, before staggering him with a dropkick to the back. Kyra floats over into a DDT, and covers for a two count.
Kyra gets a running start and leaps at Holden with a Lou Thesz Press, but Holden falls back in anticipation and catches her in a triangle hold. Kyra quickly reaches with her leg and gets it on the ropes, and Holden releases the hold when the referee counts to three, as Covert Jay points out that trying to maximize the five count is too mainstream.
Davison cheers Kyra on from ringside as she gets back to her feet, but Holden unleashes a series of Labokkatao close range elbow strikes. He looks to follow up with Black, but Kyra evades it and drops him with a Russian leg sweep. A loud crash interrupts, and Kyra looks out to ringside to see that Deimos has appeared at ringside and blindsided Davison before sending him into the steps. Kyra rushes to the ropes and vaults them, crashing into Deimos with a senton and taking him out. Kyra stumbles back to her feet and rolls into the ring, but Holden is lying in wait and catches her with a kick to the gut before lifting her into the Jan Wnęk Driver, and that gets the three!
Winner: Holden Orson
Time: 7:41
A vignette is shown teasing the return of Tony Savage to action next week!
Vespertine comes to the ring first and commentary makes note of her big win against Phrixus Diemos for the Cross-Hemisphere Title. SEB comes out next, still reigning as the Chaos Champion after putting JC down. The opening bell sounds and the two lock up. SEB sends Vespertine across the ring but she springboards off the ropes into a lionsault. SEB catches her, right into a power slam. He covers but only gets just over a 2 count. He pulls her up but she throws her arms up to break him away from her. She hits a quick dropkick, sending him into the ropes. She hits a hip toss on the rebound and covers, but gets a long 1 count.
She gets up and SEB pops up too, they engage in a series of chain wrestling that ends in a standing ovation from the crowd. They lock back up and Vespertine ducks behind SEB. She goes for a German suplex but SEB floats out and goes for one of his own. Vespertine floats out and kicks the back of SEB’s knee. He drops down and she comes off the ropes and hits a shining wizard on the Chaos Champion!!!
Vespertine grabs him up off the mat and hits a snap suplex. She hits the top rope and leaps for a five star frog splash but SEB gets the knees up! He rises and grabs her. Belly to belly suplex from SEB! He goes for another but Vespertine is able to break out. She quickly goes for Breaking The Bank but SEB shoves her into the ropes. She comes back and he gets behind her and grabs her for The Stamford Bridge! Vespertine breaks out and elbows SEB back. SEB quickly sends her into the corner while he checks his eye after the elbow.
Vespertine comes out of the corner fast but SEB lifts her up. She counters with a float over DDT. SEB pops back up but right into Epically Diva! SEB blocks it and steps back! Vespertine rushes at him but he ducks behind her. Vespertine comes off the ropes and SEB rebounds himself, The Empire Kick!!!! Vespertine ducked! SEB pulls himself up and Vespertine jumps on him as he staggers around. ROLL UP!!!! Vespertine gets 2 when SEB reverses for a roll up of his own! He gets the 3!!!!
Winner: Sebastian Everett-Bryce
Time: 12:58
After the bell, SEB leaves the ring with the Chaos Title. Vespertine goes out to retrieve the Cross-Hemisphere Title but she can’t find it. The crowd explodes as she turns around to see Dave Rydell standing in the ring, leaning over the ropes with the belt in hand. He points right at Vespterine and gives her the finger while he hoists up the belt. Commentary makes note that he is a 6 time Cross-Hemisphere Champion, looking to make 7. Vespertine is furious as Rydell tosses her the belt and gives her a sarcastic wave from the ring.
Rogan comes out first. Vinegar points out that Lucy Wylde would be here supporting her Cooperative partner, but she’s still recovering from her injuries at Run of the Mill. Lieberjosch takes the opportunity to put in his two cents that the match was garbage wrestling and this is the result of it. He hopes everyone is happy. And we are Lieberjosch. Thank you. Covert Jay assures him that Lucy will be back, and Vinegar adds that when she is, there’ll be hell to pay.
Tempest out next, and he’s surrounded by Daedalus, Kosnar, and Pisces. He and Rogan share a staredown while Tempest stands at the entrance, before he makes his way down to the ring, and the Creeps follow.
They go through introductions and Glenn Burke takes the World Championship from Tempest, who doesn’t hand it to him. He only stares as Burke cautiously takes it off his shoulder. Burke quickly backpedals after Tempest makes a sudden move forward, but manages to right himself and keep it professional. He displays the World title for everyone to see, then hands it off to the timekeeper.
The bell rings and the two lock up. Rogan gets the better of him, sliding behind him and hitting a German Suplex. He follows it up with a clothesline as Tempest gets up quickly and sprints forward. Rogan runs to the ropes and bounces off, gaining momentum. But Kosnar hammers him in the lower back and Rogan falls to his hands and knees. Burke didn’t see it, so the Creeps got away with one there.
Tempest takes advantage of the situation and works on Rogan’s ankle. He aggressively stomps on it, before hooking it and twisting it in an ankle lock. After a few moments of Rogan refusing to give up, Tempest releases it and drags Rogan to the ropes, putting his foot on the bottom rope. He stands on it and uses it to catapult himself up, then comes down and sits on it. Very 90’s of him. He goes to grab Rogan, but Rogan grabs him by his jumpsuit instead, and pulls him face first into the middle turnbuckle in an act of desperation. This rings Tempest’s bell enough to allow Rogan to regain momentum, despite limping around on one good leg.
Rogan DDTs him, and follows that up with a camel clutch, putting all of his weight on his good ankle. That allows Tempest to squirm out of the hold and scurry to his feet first. When he sprints forward, though, Rogan sidesteps him and Tempest bounces off the ropes. On the rebound, Rogan hits him with a rolling back elbow, and follows that up with a standing elbow drop, where he makes the cover for a two count. Also very 90’s of him.
Rogan pulls Tempest to his feet, but Tempest squirms out of his grasp again, this time climbing to the top turnbuckle behind him. Rogan turns and manages to grab Tempest before he can leap off, and now Tempest finds himself sitting on Rogan’s shoulders. It looks like Rogan’s knee may be starting to buckle, but he turns as the fans begin chanting “Cthulhu!” in recognition of his finisher. Pisces climbs onto the apron and grabs Tempest by the waist, pulling him, and Rogan, backwards. The awkward angle forces Rogan to let go of him and fall back into the ropes. Tempest rolls to the other side of the ring as Rogan and Glenn Burke both turn their attention to Pisces. She hops down, staring up at them in silence.
Rogan turns away from her first, but is blasted with the spade of a shovel! Tempest tosses it to the outside and makes the cover. Pisces points to the ring without a word and Glenn Burke turns to look, then quickly gets into position and makes the count: 1, 2, 3! And Tempest steals his first title defense!
Winner: Tempest
Time: 12:36
After the match, Tempest grabs his World Championship and a microphone.
Tempest: This was never the match I wanted. Rogan, you are old news! When are you going to see the reality that you’re just not good enough?
He looks at Kosnar and Pisces and points at Rogan on the mat. They grab him up and carry him to the back.
Tempest: I should be happy. But I’m not. At Run of the Mill, I vowed to get my revenge on Lucy Wylde. I made promises that I intended on keeping, that I would overcome The Omen finally. I would defeat her. I would prove that I’m better than her. But somebody made a liar out of me. Somebody took that moment from me. Travis Pierce! You stole my moment. You got in the way and you defeated Lucy Wylde. You took that–
“You Know My Name” plays and Travis Pierce appears at the top of the stage as the fans erupt. Tempest glares at him as the music fades. Pierce has a microphone in hand.
Travis Pierce: I took your moment away from you? You’re holding that but you’re bitching about me… taking your moment… from you?
Tempest nods and Travis shakes his head and chuckles, pacing on stage.
Travis Pierce: Okay. I’ll bite. I took your moment from you. I pinned and eliminated Lucy Wylde before you could. Because the piercing truth is… you don’t have the ability to beat Lucy Wylde!
Pierce gets a huge pop. Tempest shakes his head in the ring in denial.
Travis Pierce: So what do you want to do about it then?
Tempest glares at him hatefully from behind his mask as he lifts the microphone.
Tempest: You. I want you in a match, Mr. Pierce.
Travis Pierce: Oh, sure. You can have that. But, you took my moment from me. So… you know what I want.
He points at the World Championship on Tempest’s shoulder. Tempest shifts uncomfortably in the ring, clutching the title a little tighter.
Travis Pierce: You put that on the line, and you can have your match. You can have your chance to somehow get redemption through me.
A “yes” chant begins as Tempest glances down at the championship. For a few moments, he stands in silence as the chant takes over, before he finally brings the microphone back up to his mask.
Tempest: Fine. You and me. World Championship match. At Massive Melee.
The fans erupt in approval. On the ramp, Pierce smirks and nods as his music hits. In the ring, Tempest continues to glare out at him.
