Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a THREE WAY DANCE and it is for the APEX CHAMPIONSHIP! Elimination can happen by pinfall or submission. The last competitor standing will be the APEX CHAMPION!
"I'M BRINGING SEXY BAAAACK."
As soon as the beat of “Sexy Back” by Justin Timberlake hits, smoke smoothly pours up from the entrance ramp, masking the actual entrance impossible to see. Prince MacRear emerges from the smoke mid-sequence, a smug grin on his demeanor and jerking his hips. With a look on his face that can only mean he’s clearly enthused with himself, he does a twirl before continuing down to the ring. MacRear takes turns shouting at the sky, yelling at fans, and twerking his backside at every chance he gets while taking selfies with his iPhone.
Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, now residing out of Hollywood, California! Weighing in at 191 pounds! He is “THE SULTAN OF SELFIES”.... PRIIIIIINCE MACREEEEEAAAAAAR!
As he reaches the ring, MacRear sprawls across the apron and poses, almost model like, soaking the attention from the crowd. MacRear waves the fans off and rolls toward the middle of the ring. He takes one more selfie, sets his phone down on the canvas, and in a swift, exaggerated manner, takes off his robe.
The horns marking the start of 'Wiping All Out' sound out like the trumpets of reveille would. The lyrics announce the arrival of the Black Adder herself.
"I'm not a princess. Not a cutie girlfriend, oh no, don't you know?" Hana stands in front of the black curtain, her head tilted to the right and her arms crossed. She stares down towards the ring, smirking, and drags her tongue left to right across her lips before setting off.
Melanie Sierra: His opponent, from Los Angeles, California! She is “THE BLACK ADDER”... HANAAAAAAA SOOOOOOOOOONG!
As she walks to the ring, she bobs her head in rhythm to the beat of the song. Outside the ring she slides into it under the bottom rope and the head bob transitions into a quick horizontal body wiggle akin to a snake slithering about. Hana stands and bobs her head until her music stops, at which point she merely waits.
The opening to Deftones' "Cherry Waves" plays as a small screen of smoke cover the ground of the stage. As the first rift blasts through the venue, Nest walks through the curtain breathing heavily. Keeping his head down he looks out to the crowd briefly before eyeing the ring ahead, making his way down the ramp with an alarming sense of urgency.
Melanie Sierra: And their opponent, from Rocky Mount, North Carolina! Weighing in at 287 pounds! He is the reigning… defending… APEX Champion… NEEEEEEESSSSSSST!
Nest stops right before he gets to the apron, holding out both of his arms with pitchfork hand signs along with a scream. He rolls in the ring and starts cracking his knuckles as the music dies down.
Geoff Penzer: Here are are! It’s main event time! This Three Way Dance Match is about to get underway. Nest has defeated both of his challengers. They’ve both have beaten him. But this time, all three competitors will be in the same ring at the same time with the biggest prize in LDFC on the line. Nest has held that championship for nearly a year. Prince MacRear has been right on his tale the entire time. He’s come so close time and time again. Tonight could be his night. Then there’s The Black Adder. Thhe last time all three of these competitors were in the ring, it was Hana Song that stood victorious. I don’t know who’s going to win. But I have a feeling this is going to be something else.
The match begins with Song and MacRear rushing up on Nest. The APEX Champ does his best to fend them off. He knocks down MacRear with a right hand. He then turns to Song and knocks her down with a right hand. When MacRear gets up, Nest sends him back down to the canvas with another right hand. He then turns around and decks Song with another right hand. Nest turns to MacRear, grabs a hold of him and whips him into the ropes. When MacRear comes back, Nest bends over to set up a back body drop. But MacRear counters with a kick to the face. While Nest stumbles back, MacRear runs back into the ropes. When he comes back, Nest scoops him up across his shoulders. He then charges across the ring to go for a running powerslam. But MacRear slips down from behind and shoves Nest into the ropes. When Nest comes back, MacRear connects with a basement dropkick. After Nest is knocked down to one knee, MacRear grabs him and plants him with a DDT. He makes the cover.
ONE!

Song breaks up the pin with a stomp to the back.
Geoff Penzer: You may be asking yourself why Song would break up the pin. This isn’t a Triple Threat Match where it’s first fall to a finish. This is a Three Way Dance, thus, elimination rules. However, all three of these competitors… they don’t just want to be the last one standing. They want to be the one to elimination both of their opponents.
Song takes MacRear, marches into the corner and goes to slam him face-first into the top turnbuckle. But MacRear gets his foot on the middle rope, blocking the move. After an elbow to the midsection, MacRear takes Song and slams her face-first onto the top turnbuckle. After turning Song around, MacRear grabs her and whips her into the opposite corner.
