MAIN EVENT
FGA UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
(c) Lowri Moss vs. Izzy Anders
The hypnotic opening of “Bad Dreams” by Phantogram picks up throughout the arena and the lights fade into a cascade of fuschia and crimson.
♫ Bad dreams never affect me
I'm not afraid of the concrete
Bad dreams never affect me
I'm not afraid of the concrete ♫
As the colors play, the beats becomes harsher and invites Izzy Anders onto the stage. She dances around to the beat of the music until she makes to the center point of the stage. Scanning the arena with that Cheshire grin of hers, Izzy takes her time walking down the ramp. When she does, she does it with an egotistical saunter, knowing that she has the audience wrapped around her finger.
♫ To changing me
(And I believe this happened once before)
To changing me
(And I predict the world will be all gone)
To changing me
(And I can see the same things that you see)
To changing me
(‘Cause I predict the world) ♫
Kris Cruise: This might be the very last time we see Izzy Anders walk down an aisle as an active competitor. She’s put all of this extra pressure on herself here tonight with this recent announcement. If she doesn’t win the championship, she will call it a career.
Stephy Auger: I haven’t been a fan of Izzy’s actions in recent years and you can add this one to the list. Why would you make this stipulation? Why would you put your career on the line on a random episode of Vertigo? If she was smart, she’d milk this to the pay per view to get some of those PPV buys. That would be extra cash in her pocket, Cruise. But that would be the smart thing to do and Izzy has shown over the last several years that she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed anymore. Going against the likes of Cordelia, Carmichael and Seth? Aligning with Fujiko? Those weren't smart moves.
Kris Cruise: Well, she did when Dynamic Duos and became a Triple Crown and Grand Slam winner with Fujiko. She did finally beat Seth in Chivalry is Dead. She did beat Carmichael inside the Steel Cage and if we’re being honest, if it weren’t for Seth’s involvement, we would have likely seen this match here tonight at Night 2 of last year’s All-Star Showdown. You may not like Izzy’s actions. But if anyone knows what they’re doing, it’s Izzy.
Izzy climbs the ring apron, turning her back to the ring to stare at the audience. She shifts down the ropes until she reaches the turnbuckle, ascending it with a delicate air. From there, she reaches methodically for her eyepatch, removing it with flair. She lowers it into her mouth, giving it a playful bite and giving the hard cam a wink. Izzy then scales down the turnbuckle into the ring, taking her coat off. A stagehand receives it in the only way Izzy does, a dramatic fling meant to blanket them in the immense coat. The Mindkiller then takes a seat a little off center of the ring, at the very tip of her corner. She sits there with her legs crossed, staring out to the audience as her song dies out.
“Loner Boogie” by Boy Azooga plays over the PA system, and once the song's intro finishes, Lowri Moss walks through the curtains, out onto the stage, with a broad smile on her face and her title around her waist. Lowri takes a moment to scan the cheering crowd, before making her way towards the ring, and as she does so, she slaps the hands of some of the fans that reach out to her.
Kris Cruise: Lowri Moss has admitted to never gets star struck in the ring anymore. With that being said, we know the admiration that Lowri has for Izzy. She publicly calls her her wrestling mam. Will Lowri be able to put her personal feelings to the side and take care of the matter at hand?
After arriving at ringside, Lowri climbs the steps up onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes, before heading for one of the corners and climbing to the second rope. Lowri gestures to the fans by making the ILY sign with her right hand, in acknowledgement of their response to her arrival. She then takes the title from around her waist and holds it aloft, eliciting further cheers and applause. She continues to hold the title in the air for several more seconds, as she again surveys the crowd, soaking in the reaction.
Stephy Auger: We’re going to see what Lowri is truly made of her tonight. Lowri says she’s going to do whatever she has to do to win, but I don’t think she will. There’s a line that Lowri just won’t cross in that ring, Cruise. She’s not cutthroat enough. Izzy has no problems crossing that line. Well, she didn’t before she turned soft.
Kris Cruise: Like I said, you personally might not have liked Izzy’s actions over the past couple of years. But to say Izzy has gone “soft” is vehemently false. You saw what she didn’t against Carmichael in the cage. You saw what she did against Iser in Chivalry is Dead. The Mindkiller has shown that she can bring a certain level of brutality in the ring. There's no deep personal issues in this one like there was against Carmichael or Iser. There’s no heated rivalry like there was against Stevenson. But if Izzy is willing to put her career on the line in a match for the Undisputed Championship, just how far will Izzy go to regain the championship she once called hers? How far will she go to continue her career? What line is she willing to cross in there against her wrestling daughter? We’re about to find out all of these answers in short order. Let’s send it to the ring.
J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is your main event of the evening! It is scheduled for one fall and it is for the FGA UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, the challenger! Fighting out of Holland, Michigan by way of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada! Weighing in at 140 pounds, she is "The Mindkiller" IZZY ANDERS!
The Mindkiller is met with applause from the crowd.
J.A. Aldridge: Her opponent, hailing from Llanelli, Wales! Weighing in at 142 pounds, she is the reigning... defending... FGA Undisputed Champion... LOWRI MOSS!
The crowd erupts with cheers as the Undisputed Champion raises her championship in the air. The ref receives the title from Moss and heads over towards Anders with it. The ref shows it to Anders, but she looks directly past him and over towards the champion. Once the ref has been handed off to an attendant on the floor, the ref calls for the bell.
The bell sounds as Moss and Anders meet in the center of the ring. Both grapplers stare each other down. Words are exchanged between the two before they both share a knowing nod. Moss then puts her hand out. The Mindkiller wastes little time accepting the handshake from the champion. Moss and Anders takes several steps back before circling the ring.
Kris Cruise: We’ve seen Lowri Moss be involved with classics against the likes of Cordelia Stevenson and Emery Layton as of late. We’re very likely to add this one to the list.
Moss and Anders size each other up before pushing forward. They lock up. After jockeying for position, both grapplers push each other back. They then rush forward before engaging in another collar-and-elbow. After jockeying for position, Moss starts to muscle Anders back across the ring. At the last second, Anders pivots and presses Moss up against the ropes. Moss then turns to her right and presses Anders against the ropes. The Mindkiller overpowers Moss, turns to her left and pushes Moss up against the ropes. Moss tries to muscle Anders away from the ropes, but Anders is able to overpower Moss and presses her right back up against the ropes. Moss then turns to her right and presses Anders up against the ropes. The Mindkiller jockeys for position before turning to her right and pressing Moss up against the turnbuckles. The ref is quick to get in and start a five count.
Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Both grapplers make a slow, clean break. Anders taps Moss on the cheek before stepping back towards the center of the ring. Moss slowly makes her way out of the corner before locking up. After jockeying for position, Moss gains the advantage with a side headlock. Anders tries to push her off, but Moss keeps the hold on tight. Moss gets caught with a forearm to the ribs before Anders tries to push her off. Once again, Anders' escape attempt in unsuccessful. Anders tries to counter with a belly to back suplex, but Moss kicks her legs on the way up, forcing Anders to lower her back down. Moss quickly follows up with a side headlock takeover. The Mindkiller turns down the chance to quit before turning over to a knee. She remains in the side headlock before finally returning to a vertical base. She then moves Moss into the near ropes. She tries to get a running start before shoving Moss off into the far ropes, but Moss blocks the escape attempt by dropping down to a knee. Anders remains in the side headlock. She's asked again if she wants to give up. Anders refuses before returning to a vertical base. The Mindkiller then slowly but surely slips out and reverses into a hammerlock from behind. The crowd cheers when she throws out the Black Song (Hammerlock Lariat), but Moss duck and takes multiple steps away from her.
Kris Cruise: Moss knows she go lucky there.
Stephy Auger: Yeah, Izzy was about to knock her head into the fifth row.
Moss runs her hands through her hair while she breathes a sigh of relief. The Mindkiller continues to keep her eyes on the champion as she waits near the center of the ring. Moss slowly inches back over towards Anders. The champ motions for a lockup, but she gets caught with a kick to the midsection from Izzy. She then clamps on a side headlock of her own. Izzy isn't able to cinch down on the hold as Moss pushes her off into the ropes. Anders returns off the rebound, knocks Moss down with a shoulder block before quickly dropping down into a lateral press.
ONE!
.
.
Moss kicks out.
Anders quickly gets to her feet and hits the ropes. Moss gets back to a vertical base before getting returned to the mat with another running shoulder block. Anders quickly drops back down into another lateral press.
ONE!
.
.
Moss kicks out.
Anders quickly gets back to her feet and runs off into a third set of ropes. When Anders returns, Moss brings her down with a drop toe hold. She then rolls across Anders' back and applies another side headlock, but Anders is able to slip out and reverse into a grounded hammerlock.
Kris Cruise: Nice reversal there by the challenger. The phrase Dream Match has been thrown around in FGA over the past year or two. You can definitely put this match right at the top of the list.
Stephy Auger: They’ve faced off in a tag or two. They’ve been in matches like the Gold Rush Rumble together. They were even in the final two in last year’s Gold Rush Rumble. But that was the closet we’ve ever seen these two go toe to toe until tonight.
The ref asks Moss if she wants to give up. When the champ refuses, Anders drops a knee across the hammerlocked arm. Moss tries to fight through the pain. When the ref asks her again if she wants to give up, Anders delivers another knee drop to the hammerlocked arm after Moss refuses. Anders then takes the arm from out of the hammerlock position and presses it down firmly on the mat before delivering a headstand into a falling knee drop across the arm. The crowd cheers when they see The Mindkiller try to slip on The Amputator (Fujiwara Armbar), but Moss is able to slither across the mat and reach the ropes with her free arm.
Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Anders reluctantly lets go. She then pushes Moss down across the back of the head before returning to her feet.
Kris Cruise: Lowri quickly got to the ropes after she saw Izzy trying to apply The Amputator. But what was with that push afterwards?
Moss pulls herself up using the ropes. She starts to shake out the arm before circling the ring. She motions for a collar-and-elbow, but she quickly hits a drop-step go-behind before taking control of Anders' back. This doesn't last for long as The Mindkiller is able to catch her with a back elbow to the face. She then performs a standing switch and takes control of Moss' back. Moss reaches down, slowly pries apart Anders' grip and performs a standing switch before taking control of Anders' back. The Mindkiller heads towards the side of the ring, wraps her arms around the top rope and yanks back, sending Moss down to the mat. Moss rolls back to her feet and runs over to attack, but Anders lowbridges the top rope, sending the champ tumbling to the floor!
Kris Cruise: Moss just took a fall to the outside! She might be hurt!
Moss starts to pick herself up on the outside while Anders hits the ropes. Anders returns off the rebound and motions for a dive. She then opts out of the dive and hits a Tranquilo pose! Anders keeps the hold held while Moss climbs up to the apron. Anders then quickly scrambles back to her feet, darts over and catches Moss when she's stepping back into the ring with clubbing strikes cross the back.
Kris Cruise: Izzy didn’t even let Lowri get all the way back in the ring before she started attacking her!
Stephy Auger: Good? Are we starting to finally see some glimpses of the Izzy of old?
Anders hammerlocks Moss' arm before running into the corner and throwing her shoulder-first into the turnbuckles. Moss is then turned around until a series of European Uppercuts snaps her head back. The Mindkiller then takes Moss and delivers an irish whip. NO! Moss reverses, sending Anders into the far corner. Moss runs over to attack before a back elbow knocks her back. The Mindkiller hoists herself up to the middle ropes and knocks her down with a diving corkscrew European Uppercut! She makes the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.

Moss kicks out.
Anders is Moss up and applies an underhook on the arm. The ref asks Moss if she wants to give up. The champion refuses before making her way back to a vertical base. She then uses her free arm to move Anders into the ropes before pushing her off into the far ropes. When Moss returns, Anders purposely knocks her down with a running shoulder block to the hurt arm! Anders heads down, picks up Moss and brings her back down with a snapmare before delivering a hard kick to the lower back. Anders points to a random fan before taking off into the ropes. The Mindkiller returns off the rebound and goes to flatten Moss with A Gift for You (Penalty Kick), but Moss reaches up and wraps her arms around Anders' leg. Anders tries to pull her leg free, but Moss won't let go. Moss slowly returns to a vertical base while maintaining a hold of Anders' leg. Anders responds with a Stockton Slap! The loud whap from the slap echoes throughout the arena, but it doesn't affect the champion. Anders nails her with another Stockton Slap! Moss simply eats the slap while continuing to stare right at Anders. The Mindkiller winds up for a third Stockton Slap, but it never comes as Moss brings her down with a dragon screw leg whip.
Kris Cruise: Lowri brought Izzy down with that dragon screw. She would be wise to go after the leg.
Stephy Auger: You’re right, for once. If that leg gets hurt, Anders can’t throw out the Capetown Sunset.
Anders rolls over towards the side of the ring before using the ropes to pull herself up. Moss heads over, snatches a hold of the leg and tries to pull Anders away, but Anders grabs the top rope by her right hand. Moss then tries to pull Anders away from the ropes again. This time, Anders blocks by wrapping the right arm around the top rope. So Moss lets go and nails Anders with a low kick to the hamstring. Anders seethes before getting caught with another low kick to the hamstring. Moss then hits Anders with a low kick to the inside calf before delivering another low kick to the hamstring. The champion is finally able to snatch control of the leg and drags Anders away from the ropes. Moss sets up for a shinbreaker, so Anders responds by hitting Moss with multiple elbows across the back of the head. The Mindkiller continues to hammer away with elbows until Moss fights through it, lifts her up and delivers a shinbreaker before throwing her down with another dragon screw leg whip. Anders rolls away from Moss before slipping out to the apron.
Kris Cruise: Izzy tried to fight Lowri off with all she had, but she ultimately got with that targeted attack.
Stephy Auger: I know Anders is Moss’ “mam,” but she has to be relentless. Show no mercy. Go after the leg. Rip it out of it’s socket. Break it in half and send Anders packing!
Anders hugs her left knee while Moss approaches. Moss reaches through the ropes to grab her. So Anders quickly reaches up, takes control of Moss' left arm and delivers The Breakerup, Part I (armbreaker across the ropes)!
Kris Cruise: Oh no! Lowri just got caught!
Stephy Auger: I don’t think Anders was playing possum. I think she saw an opportunity that she couldn’t pass up!
Moss immediately drops down to a knee. Anders reaches back in, grabs Moss' left wrist and drags her across the ring towards the corner. She then takes Moss' arm and delivers The Breakup, Part II (armbreaker across the ring post)!
Kris Cruise: Lowri’s arm just got thrown hard into the steel post!
Stephy Auger: Anders is met with a mixed reaction when she pulls Moss' arm back before swinging it hard across the ring post.
Kris Cruise: Did you hear the thud front he impact!?
Stephy Auger: Do it again, Izzy!
The Mindkiller looks out at the crowd. She then pulls Moss' arm before before swinging it as hard as she could against the ring post!
Stephy Auger: There you go! Now that’s what I’m talking about, Cruise!
Moss immediately clutches the arm before rolling away from the corner.
Kris Cruise: That smattering of boos is slowly becoming louder, Stephy.
Stephy Auger: Oh who cares what they think? These people won’t win you titles, but they’ll damn sure help you lose them.
Anders slips back inside. She limps over and pulls Moss up to her knees. She then grabs a handful of hair and tilts Moss' head back before nailing her with a 12-to-6 elbows across the face! The Mindkiller nails Moss against with another pointed elbow across the face. The champ gets caught with another pointed elbow before dropping down to all fours. Anders isn't down. She straddles Moss' back before swinging down and catching Moss with clubbing forearm strikes across the face. The last one snaps Moss' head to the side before she plops down to the prone position! The ref then forces Anders to step back. The Mindkiller puts her hands up as she backs away.
Stephy Auger: Did you see that? The ref! He’s seen enough. He’s calling the match! We’ve got a new champ!
Kris Cruise: He did not!
The camera cuts back over to Moss as she struggles to push herself up on all fours. A close up shows Moss bleeding from the nose and from a cut lip.
Stephy Auger: Uh oh, looks who drew blood?
The ref continues to tend to Moss until Anders limps over and nails Moss with a punt kick to the ribs.
Kris Cruise: Izzy, come on!
Stephy Auger: No, Izzy, kick her again! Kick the crap out of her! This is the Undisputed Championship on the line! I’d clothesline my own mother for a World Championship! If I’d do that to my own flesh and blood, Izzy should have no problem punting her “daughter” right out of the ring.
Moss groans as the kick knocks her over onto her back. Anders continues to pour on the offense with multiple stomps. She then purposely kneels down across Moss' ribs before raining down right hands to the face! Moss right to cover up, but some of Anders' punches pierce through her defense. She then quickly takes control of Moss' left arm before applying a cross armbreaker! The Mindkiller tries to hyperextend the arm, but Moss keeps her hands clasped together. Anders continues to try and break Moss' grip, but she's got her hands clasped tight. Anders then decides to lift the left leg before slamming it down across Moss' face. Anders raises the left leg before slamming it down across Moss' face again. The Mindkiller raises the leg a third time before slamming it down across Moss' face! Anders yanks back and breaks the grip.
Kris Cruise: Izzy’s got it fully on now!
Stephy Auger: Snap it, Izzy! Snap it!
Moss yells out in pain while Anders has the cross armbar applied. She's asked if she wants to give up. The fans are pleading with her to hang on.
"PLEASE DON'T TAP!"
"PLEASE DON'T TAP!"
"PLEASE DON'T TAP!"
"PLEASE DON'T TAP!"
Anders is fighting like hell for the submission! She wants to continue her career! She wants to become Undisputed Champion again! But Moss won't give in! She won't give in to the pain! The Undisputed Champion fights through it! She turns down the chance to quit before turning over to a knee. After getting both feet planted on the mat, Moss groans as she slowly Anders off the mat before slamming her down, breaking the hold! The counter is met with applause from the crowd.
Kris Cruise: Moss dug deep to get out of that submission.
Stephy Auger: Yeah, but look at her! Look at how much it took out of her!
Moss clutches her arm as she stumbles back. She ultimately collapses against the turnbuckles. Moss continues to favor the arm while Anders returns to a vertical base. The Mindkiller runs as best she can into the corner. Moss knocks her back with a right back elbow to the face. Anders runs back into the corner. This time, Moss knocks her back with a boot to the face. Anders shakes off the blows before rushing back in. The cheers continue when Anders gets caught with another boot to the face. NO! Anders catches the foot this time, drags Moss out of the corner and brings her down with a dragon screw leg whip of her own. Moss turns over to a knee before Anders heads over and flattens her with the HEAD BOOT (Shining Yakuza Kick)! She makes the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

Moss gets her good shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: Izzy caught Lowri right in the face with that boot, but she only got two.
Stephy Auger: It’s a shame she didn’t kick Moss’ head into the cheap seats.
Anders takes Moss and whips her hard into the corner. After Moss crashes sternum-first into the top turnbuckle, she stumbles back before getting brought down with a snap Dragon Suplex! Moss rolls backwards onto her knees before Anders runs over and flattens her with A Gift For You! The cheers continue as Anders makes the cover.

Moss gets the good shoulder up.
Anders pulls up Moss and wrenches her arm before bringing her down with a double knee armbreaker. The Mindkiller heads into the corner and hoists herself up onto the middle ropes. Once Moss gets back to her feet and turns around, Anders leaps off and plants her with a diving Tornado DDT! Moss remains splayed out on the mat while Anders steps out to the apron. The crowd stands up as Anders scales the turnbuckles. Once she reaches the top, she leaps off and lands down across Moss' arm with a diving double knee drop across the arm.
Kris Cruise: That could’ve broken Lowri’s arm!
Anders immediately hugs her left leg. She then turns over and starts pulling herself back over towards Moss before making the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
TH-NO!
Moss gets her good shoulder up.
The crowd gasps and cheers when Moss gets pulled over into the prone position before Anders slips on the Amputator!
Kris Cruise: There it is!
Stephy Auger: Izzy didn’t waste any time!
Moss screams out in pain while Anders pulls back on the arm. The ref gets down and asks her if she wants to give up. Moss refuses by shaking her head. So Anders pulls further back on the arm. Moss balls her free hand to her fist and starts biting her knuckle. She groans while Anders continues to apply pressure to the arm. The Undisputed Champion gets asked if he wants to give up. Moss fights through the pain and continues to fight.
Kris Cruise: How much longer can Lowri resist the temptation of tapping out!? How much longer can she hang on for!?
Stephy Auger: She doesn’t have much left!
Moss reaches out with her right arm and struggles to drag herself forward. The cheers continue as Moss grunts while dragging herself across the mat again. After Moss pulls herself again across the mat, Anders adds insult to injury by delivering joint manipulation to the left hand! Anders wraps her hand around Moss' left fingers before bending them all the way back!!! Moss screams out while Anders continues to manipulate the joints. The ref gives her another chance to quit. The ball is in Moss' court. But she won't give up! The crowd cheers when she shakes her again head and refuses to quit.
Kris Cruise: Lowri won’t give up! There’s no quit in her!
Stephy Auger: Well, then Izzy will just have to beat her into submission!
Moss groans as she drags herself forward again. The crowd continues to rally behind the champion as she scratches and claws her way towards the ropes. Moss reaches out with her free arm... and grabs the bottom rope, forcing a rope break!
Kris Cruise: She’s got it! Lowri’s got the rope!
Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Anders won't break the hold! The ref gives her another five count.
Ref: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Anders still won't break the hold.
Kris Cruise: Izzy!
Finally, Anders lets go. The ref admonishes The Mindkiller, but she pays him no mind. She then yanks Moss back to her feet, hammerlocks the left arm and throws her shoulder-first into the corner. From there, she spins Moss towards her before sending her slumping down in the corner with MUDA, MUDA, MUDA (Machine Gun Punches to Cornered Opponent)!
Kris Cruise: Izzy’s putting something extra behind those strikes!
Stephy Auger: Good! Knock her block off, Izzy!
Anders grabs Moss by the hair, pulls her back to her feet and sends her slumping right back down with MUDA MUDA MUDA! She continues to snap Moss' head left to right with each punch. When Moss is seated in the corner, The Mindkiller continues her assault with a flurry of right hands to the face. A closeup reveals that Moss has now been cut over the left eye.
Kris Cruise: Lowri’s been cut again! The ref may want to step in and take a look at this.
Anders reaches back down and pulls Moss back up. She wallops the champ with a Stockton Slap before taking off into the ropes. Anders returns from the adjacent set of ropes and nails Moss with a running corner big boot before catching her with a running facewash!
Stephy Auger: She just gave Moss a taste of her own medicine!
The running facewash turns Moss away from Anders. Moss continues to lay across the body ropes. Anders then sticks her leg over the middle ropes and starts raining down repeated stomps across the back of the head! The ref tries to get Anders off of Moss, but The Mindkiller isn't hearing any of it. She then delivers multiple hard boot scrapes across the back of Moss' head! Anders continues to add insult by taking her foot and grinding it across the back of Moss' head!
Kris Cruise: Izzy isn’t letting up!
Stephy Auger: The championship’s on the line, Cruise! She shouldn’t!
Anders finally relents before heading to the outside. She pulls Moss down to the floor with her before scooping her up across her shoulder. The crowd gasps when Anders rushes forward before lawn darting Moss into the ring post.
Kris Cruise: Izzy! No no no…
Moss smacks hard off the post before dropping to the floor.
Kris Cruise: NO!
A close up shows that Moss cut across the eyebrow has been further opened. Blood has now tricked down across the face of the champion.
Kris Cruise: NO! NO! NO!
Stephy Auger: She’s wearing that crimson mask now!
Anders yanks up Moss and slams her face-first onto the apron before pushing her back inside. Anders rolls back in, grabs Moss and pulls her into a front facelock before heading over towards the center of the ring. The Mindkiller follows up by planting Moss with the Three Enemigos (three rolling DDTs)! Anders keeps hold of Moss as she rolls to the side before pulling the champion back up. Instead of hitting a fourth DDT, Anders hooks Moss' leg with her free arm, lifts her up and drops her with the Ki Krusher!

Kris Cruise: What does Izzy planned here?
The Mindkiller points down ringside before pulling Moss up onto her shoulders. Moss tries to fight back with punches to the head, but it's to no avail as Anders brings her down with a Running Liger Bomb on the outside!
Stephy Auger: YES!
Kris Cruise: NO! NO NO NO! Did you just see how hard the back of Lowri’s head smacked off the floor! Yes, there’s protective padding on the outside, but it only do but so much!
Stephy Auger: That’s it! She’s out! Roll her back in, Izzy, and get your title!

Stephy Auger: How was that not three!? How is Moss not out yet!?
Kris Cruise: That’s what Izzy must be asking hearsel-... wait just a minute…
Anders rolls to the outside before making a beeline towards J.A. Aldridge.
Kris Cruise: Wait just a minute!
Aldridge quickly puts two and two together before getting the heck out of dodge. The crowd gasps when they see her snatch up his chair before slamming it shut.
Kris Cruise: Noooooo! Izzy, no! Noooooo! This isn’t you!
Stephy Auger: Oh no, it is, Cruise! This has always been Izzy! She’s always been a savage! She’s always been bloodthirsty! She’s always been a nutcase! This is who she is!
The Mindkiller keeps her eyes locked on the champion as she circles the ring. She then stomps her way up the steps before slowly making her way back in through the ropes.
Kris Cruise: Izzy… don’t do this…
The ref heads over and gets in front of Anders. He tries to talk the challenger out of this, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. Anders moves him out of the way before heading over towards Moss. The ref grabs a hold of Anders' arm from behind, but she swings her arm back, sending the ref down to the mat! The Mindkiller continues to stalk Moss. The champion stirs on the mat. She slowly turns over on all fours. The crowd continues to grow uneasy. Moss struggles to pick herself up. Anders looks down at the bloodied champion. She grips the legs of the chair as she slowly starts to lift it up. Anders lowers the chair back down. She then raises it back up.
Kris Cruise: NO, IZZY! NO!
Stephy Auger: Crack her right across the head with the chair! Do it, Izzy! DO IT, IZZY! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT NOW!
Anders lowers the chair back down. The Mindkiller looks out to the pleading crowd.
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
Anders clenches her as she looks back to Moss. Her arms tremble as she slowly raises the chair up.
Stephy Auger: Doesn’t she remember that old saying, "Don't just stand there, whack her with the chair!"
Kris Cruise: Will you just shut up already!?
The crowd cheers when Anders drops the chair. She then kicks it out of the ring before placing her heads on top of her head. An exhausted Moss drops back down to all fours.
Kris Cruise: Thank God!
Stephy Auger: I knew it! She didn’t have the heart! She didn’t have the guts! The Izzy of old would have took Lowri’s head off without a second thought!
Anders can be seen muttering to herself, "not like this."
The Mindkiller continues to shake her head before making her way back over to Moss. She leans over and pats her on the back before trying to help the champion back to her feet. Moss is just about back to a vertical base before quickly caching Anders by surprise with a small package!
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THRE-NO!
The crowd gasps when Anders kicks out.
Kris Cruise: Lowri nearly caught her!

Moss takes Anders, brings her into the corner and sits her down on the top turnbuckle. The champion climbs up to the middle ropes and tries for an avalanche German Suplex. Anders blocks by grabbing onto the top turnbuckle hook. Moss tries to muscle her up for another avalanche German, but Anders blocks. She then catches Moss with three back elbows to the face.

Kris Cruise: Izzy’s got her opening.
Moss continues to favor the arm while Anders gets in a crouching position on the top turnbuckle. The Mindkiller carefully stands up, flips back and connects with a moonsault! NO! Moss rolls out of the way!
Kris Cruise: IZZY MISSED!

... only for Anders to roll through it! The Mindkiller keeps Moss held in her clutches as she returns to a vertical base. The crowd gasps when she hoists Moss up and catches her across the shoulders. Anders is about to deliver a fireman's carry neckbreaker, but Moss stops her with an elbow to the side of the head. Moss grunts as she uses the bad arm to hit Anders a second time with the elbow. Moss then fires off multiple elbow strikes to the side of the head. The cheers grow louder when she slips down from behind, hooks both of Anders' arms and brings her down with a Tiger Suplex transitioned into a bridging double chickenwing)!
Stephy Auger: THIS ISN’T GOOD FOR IZZY!
Due to the work that was being done to Moss' arm earlier, she can't quite pull the left arm over to lock hands. The Undisputed Champion yells out as she fights through the pain, pulls the arm over and finally locks her hands, securing the submission.
Kris Cruise: SEVERN BRIDGE!!! SHE’S GOT IT LOCKED ON!!! LOWRI’S GOT IT LOCKED IN!!! CAN IZZY SURVIVE!? CAN SHE ESCAPE THE HOLD!? CAN SHE ESCAPE THIS HOLD, WIN THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP AND LIVE TO WRESTLE ANOTHER DAY!? OR IS THIS THE END OF THE MINDKILLER!?
Moss repeatedly pulls on the arms of The Mindkiller. The ref asks Anders if she wants to give up. She's currently trapped in the hold as she's in the prone position with Moss right on top of her. Anders wants to hang on. She tries to hang on. But even with her career on the line, she has no choice but to tap out. The ref calls for the bell.
The crowd explodes with cheers as “Loner Boogie” blasts over the PA.
J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this bout... aaaaaaaand STILL FGA Undisputed Champion, LOWRI MOSS!
Moss has rolled off of Anders and over onto her back. The exhausted champion continues to lay on her back as the ref kneels down and raises her arm in victory. Moss is then handed the Undisputed Championship.
Kris Cruise: SHE RETAINS! LOWRI RETAINS! LOWRI MOSS IS STILL YOUR FGA UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP!
Stephy Auger: WHICH MEANS SAYONARA, IZZY!
Both grapplers start to stir on the mat. Anders slowly pushes herself up to all fours while Moss slowly turns over to a knee. Moss and Anders share a look before shaking each others hand. Both grapplers are met with applause as they embrace with a hug. Moss and Anders return to their feet before Anders raises Moss’ arm in the air. Moss shakes her head, lowers her arm back down, grabs Anders’ wrists and raises her arm in the air before walking The Mindkiller around the ring. Moss goes to head out, but Anders put her hand on her shoulder to stop her. She then takes the Undisputed Championship and places it around Moss’ waist.
Kris Cruise: Lowri Moss has done it again! Against the stiffest of competition, Lowri proves once again why she is not just the Undisputed Champion, but the Standard Bearer! This was a physically draining match. It was also an emotional match. But Lowri kept her cool when she needed to the most and picked up yet another impressive win. Lowri Moss, STILL the FGA Undisputed Champion!
Moss leaves the ring and makes her way up the aisle. The camera lingers on Anders. The Mindkiller is left alone in the ring to take in the moment…
