06.30.16 Benton Convention Center Winston-Salem, NC AxxessNet Geoff Penzer: Hello and welcome to another installment of Pride! I am your host, Geoff Penzer! Tonight is the last stop before Bound by Honor, the latest supercard from LDFC! While the APEX Champion and his #1 contender are not in action tonight, I’ve been told that they are in the building. We’ll send roving reporter Jessie Pederson out to see if she can get some thoughts from both Nest and Emily Carter. While those two will not be wrestling tonight, we’ve still got a ton of great action! Like this tag team match. The Systemic have defeated both Bueno Club and Brute Camp. At FGA’s recent All-Star Showdown pay per view, they made their main roster debut along with Sky Cloud as they helped Sara Cochran attack Annie Zellor and Molly Reid. After shocking the world, The Systemic return to LDFC for tag team action. This time, against Peaches and “The Power Princess” Maritza Diaz! Peaches and Maritza first linked up at the most recent tryout camp a few months ago and have been good friends since. We’ll see if that friendship turns into a strong bond inside the squared circle as they try and hand The Systemic their first loss! Also here tonight, newcomers Rab McKinley and Miles Bishop will go at it! Both men are currently undefeated. They’re both riding a wave of momentum. Especially Bishop, who recently wrestled the current Old North Champion, Jensen Banks, to a Draw. There’s been a lot of chatter about potential shots at the Old North Championship down the road. We’ll see what happens as these two jockey for position in the Old North ranks! In another notable matchup, Mylo Danvers, the current #1 contender for the Old North Championship, takes on Shintaro Majima! Everyone has known that Majima is one of the most talented competitors in all of LDFC. With his background and discipline, Majima came into LDFC pretty polished. But after months of up and down performance, Majima has really turned it around as of late and is riding a winning streak. Can Mylo Danvers head into Bound by Honor with a big win over Majima? Or will The Strong Style Savior score a huge win over the current #1 contender for the Old North Championship Then in our main event, Becky will go one on one with Prince MacRear! These two are no strangers to each other, having competing against each other on a number of occasions. There is definitely no love lost between these two. Tonight, these two bitter rivals clash one more time! Will Prince MacRear suffer another loss? Or Becky be knocked down for the count? We’ve got a ton of action for you tonight! So let’s send it to the ring where ring announcer Melanie Sierra is ready to give the ring introductions!

The match begins with Simmons and Dupree in the ring. But before they can even lock up, Simmons barks at Dupree to tag in Gonzales as he wants payback for the “upset” two weeks ago. Dupree then points over to his partner for clarification. Simmons emphatically nods. Dupree then gauges the crowd’s reaction to see what they want. As soon as he points over to Gonzales, a roar of cheers comes from the crowd. As Dupree goes over to tag in Gonzales, the wily veteran knocks him down from behind. Boos consume the arena as “Big” Hank Simmons puts the boots to Dupree’s back. Simmons then yanks Dupree off the canvas, throws him down with a scoop slam and follows up by dropping several elbows across his chest. A lateral press gets two. Simmons sends Dupree into the ropes. When he returns, Simmons throws him down with a big back body drop. Dupree gets a ton of hang time before his back crashes across the hard mat. Dupree can be seen slowly sitting up before arching his back. But Simmons shows him no mercy as he leans over Dupree from behind before dropping several Bionic Elbows across the head. Another lateral press gets two. After dragging Dupree by his hair across the ring, Simmons tags in Butcher. “Butchie” yanks Dupree up to his feet, shoves him into the corner and unleashes a ballistic combination of rights and lefts to the body. He then leaves welts across Dupree’s chest after a series of hard knife edge chops. Butcher looks to send Dupree into the opposite corner with an irish whip. But Butcher reverses into the Sleight of Hand. A cover only gets two after Gonzales stomps Butcher across the back. While Gonzales leaves the ring, Butcher sends Dupree into the ropes. Dupree goes to counter a back body drop with a sunset flip. But Butcher regains his balance. He yanks Dupree back to his feet and goes to throw out a clothesline. But Dupree ducks, rolls forward, dives over and tags in Gonzales. Gonzales immediately springboards to the top rope and goes for a cross body block. But Butcher counters with a powerslam for a two count. After sending Gonzales into the ropes, Butcher flattens him with a running big boot for two. A scoop slam gets two. Gonzales then reverses an irish whip attempt. He sets up for a back body drop. But Butcher counters with a Flowing Snap DDT for two. Butcher begins cranking away on the neck with a cravate neck crank. While Gonzales screams out in pain, Simmons can be heard mocking him to take it like a man. Meanwhile, Dupree is trying to get the crowd to rally behind Gonzales. Slowly but surely, Gonzales battles back to his feet. Four elbows to the midsection end up breaking the hold. He takes off into the ropes. But when he returns, Butcher turns him inside out with a lariat for two and a half. Butcher then sends Gonzales into the corner. Butcher charges into the corner, but he gets a back elbow to the face. Butcher then charges into the corner for a second time. This time, he’s greeted with a big boot. While Butcher stumbles back, Gonzales climbs up to the top, leaps off and knocks him down with a double rotation tornillo. With both men down, the ref starts his count. At the count of seven, both men return to their feet. They trade knife edge chops until Butcher opts to go for European Uppercuts. Butcher begins to overpower Gonzales before knocking him into the corner after one last European Uppercut. He then takes Gonzales and whips him into the opposite corner. Butcher charges across the ring. But Butcher comes out and knocks him down with a flying cross chop. Butcher returns to his feet, but Gonzales knocks him down with another flying cross chop. Butcher then goes for a wild haymaker. But Gonzales ducks, jumps up and brings him down with a reverse leaping bulldog. Once again, both men are down, so the ref is forced to start a ten count. By the count of seven, both men have crawled to their respective corners and made tags. Simmons and Dupree then rush into the corner. Simmons is quick to flatten Dupree with a running shoulder block. He then whips Dupree into the ropes. When Dupree returns, Simmons nearly takes his head off with a lariat. Simmons then scoops Dupree across his shoulder and runs towards the corner for an Oklahoma Stampede. But Dupree slips down from behind before shoving Simmons into the corner. After Simmons bounces off the turnbuckles and stumbles back, Dupree stumbles into the corner and tags Gonzales back in. When Simmons turns around, Gonzales knocks him down with a flying thrust kick. After stepping through the ropes and climbing up to the top turnbuckle, Gonzales connects with a diving double foot stomp. He then rolls off of Simmons, runs over and knocks Butcher off the apron and to the floor with a front dropkick. As Simmons slowly turns over onto all fours, Gonzales rushes back over and executes an Oklahoma Roll for the three count. Winners: Pedro Gonzales and Chase Dupree

Maritza Diaz is shown backstage stretching before her match with The Systemic. Suddenly Triple T approaches just as she bends over in a hamstring stretch.
Triple T: Well now...I don’t think you and I have been properly introduced. I’m…
Maritza: Oh Papi, I know who you are. You are Triple T, the Pride of the LDFC. One of the best around.
Maritza walks closer to Tillman with a smile on her face as if she is thrilled to finally meet him.
Triple T: You are so right babe I’m all that and then some. And…
Maritza stops him with a finger to his lips.
Maritza: You are also the biggest jerk I have ever seen in my life. And that’s not just because you’ve been a total ass to my friend Peaches.
Triple T: Whoa whoa whoa, first off your attitude makes you less attractive...really...not a fan of it. Second your “friend” disrespected me first she…
Maritza: No papi, I saw the whole thing. You literally made a comment about talent not being sexually transmitted.
Triple T: Listen thickness. You Peaches and all the other new blood around here need to understand something. You show up all doe eyed and optimistic about being the next big thing in the LDFC...but you have to understand that I’m still THE BIGGEST thing there is around here. With or without gold around my waist, this place belongs to Terrific Terry Tillman! Your girl needs to know her place and at Bound by Honor the pound for pound best pure athlete in wrestling today is going to expose the fraud that is…
Suddenly Peaches arrives on the scene, and she doesn’t look pleased.
Peaches: What lies are you telling about me now, Terry?
Triple T: Me telling lies? From the way Maritza was telling it, you said that I disrespected you.
Peaches: Something about me being here ‘cause of who I’m sleeping with, yeah I remember it.
Triple T: Listen, that’s not disrespect … that’s just truth.
Peaches and Maritza share a look of disbelief.
Triple T: But we’ll find out in a couple of weeks. Bound By Honor is just around the corner and then you’ll see what kind of mistake you made when you tried to become a wrestler again. Because, ladies, you should have just stuck to being eye candy…
Tillman walks away, leaving Peaches and Maritza alone to continue getting ready for their upcoming tag match. But not before Peaches adds:
Peaches: What an asshole...

The match started as both competitors circled the ring. But before they could lock up collar and elbow, Robbie put his hand to stop her. He then asked her if she’s ever considered a change in career – which drew some boos from the crowd. But it only served to rile up Mercy, who took her opponent to task with some forearm shots. Her advantage was short lived, however, as Robbie reversed an Irish whip attempt. A big boot took Mercy down to the mat, and Black went for a lazy cover, and got a one count. Black stayed on the offensive, slamming Mercy head first into the turnbuckle. She slumped into the corner as Robbie unloaded with a variety of strikes; stomps, forearms, chops, uppercuts. All that wore her down. A snap suplex took Mercy out of the corner as Robbie went for another pin, and got a two count. As the match entered it’s fourth minute, Black sent his opponent against the ropes. He threw his arm up for a clothesline, but Mercy managed to counter with an overflow armdrag. It caught Black by surprise but he managed to gain the upper hand again with a toe kick. A German suplex attempt allowed Mercy to display her athleticism as she landed on her feet, reversing the move into a sitout mat slam. Her pin attempt got a two count. Mercy’s offense consisted mainly of strikes, as she backed her opponent against the ropes. A hiptoss attempt got blocked, though. Robbie tried to fight out of it, but found himself dumped unceremoniously out of the ring. Mercy tried to capitalize, but a cross body block got caught by the stronger Robbie Black. He slammed Mercy into the ring apron before the match re-entered the ring. In the eighth minute Mercy countered a spinebuster attempt with a tornado DDT, and Black just didn’t recover. A forward somersault cutter, and a bicycle kick later, and Black was down on the mat for the somersault leg drop. And Mercy picked up the three count. Winner: Mercy Williams

Backstage, Echo Rigby sits on a table in a secluded hallway wearing a brown leather fringe jacket and wide-brimmed black cowboy hat with a turquoise beaded band. Her bare feet are up on the edge of the table and she has an oversized book laid across her legs as she reclines against the wall flipping through pages, mesmerized. Her sparkly red painted toenails wiggled. As she reads, engrossed in the book, a polite cough emerges from behind her shoulder.
Josh Mitchell: Hey, groovy lady, what you got there?
Startled a bit, she sits up and the hat falls down over her eyes. She turns, tilting it back up on her forehead and looking toward him. A smile of recognition brightens her face.
Echo Rigby: Joshua! Hey man! I got this here book from the library. Doing some last minute cramming for this match tonight.
She holds it up, the title of it is ‘Venomous Snakes of the World’.
Echo Rigby: I’m about to learn some secret tips and tricks about ol’ Hana Song. You ever fight her, man?
A slightly confused look on his face, Josh quickly shakes the cobwebs out of his head.
Josh Mitchell: Hana? Yeah, about… a month ago, or so? Man she’s tough. I really thought I had her, but, well. Obviously not.
He shrugs.
Josh Mitchell: What was it my friends said… take out her legs. That’s it. Her kicking game is real strong. Oh, and don’t let her spit in your eyes.
She lays the book aside and stretches her legs out, hopping down from the table.
Echo Rigby: Yeah I seen how she gets her kicks, man. And that ol’ spit’s more dangerous than a redneck biker with a mouth full o’ chaw. Dated one for a minute. Guess we all make mistakes. Heh. Guess I’ll keep on a move and duck and weave, what have ya. You ready for your match tonight? You got that what’s-her-name, Stoned Nympho?
He chuckles.
Josh Mitchell: I think it’s just Nymph… I hope it’s just Nymph. Otherwise this match is likely to go a completely different direction to what I just planned. But yeah, you know? I’m feeling pretty good. Just hoping I’m not riding the energy of a fluke last Pride. Just want to… I dunno. I need to do better.
She pats him on the shoulder.
Echo Rigby: Do a lil’ better every week, ain’t that the goal and purpose of being here? See what us rookies have in us and if the FGA people take a shine to us for that ol’ call up. Don’t doubt yourself. The win happened right? Don’t call it a fluke. You did better than me last show.
He places his hand on hers, and smiles.
Josh Mitchell: Sorry, I’m bringing the room down. We were talking about you… Man I wish I had that book when I fought Hana. Look at the size of it… worse comes to worst, you could just hit her with it, you’d knock her right out.
She thinks for a moment, a bit spaced out. Then her eyes focus.
Echo Rigby: Naw dude, I’m no judge and jury so I won’t throw the book at her or nothin’. At least as far as I’m concerned the battle will be clean as a whistle and then in the aftermath we’ll have a little peace. My preference, who knows…
He smiles.
Josh Mitchell: I was just joking. That’s not my style either. I mean, neither of us are the Baroness, right?
She looks up and down the hall comically.
Echo Rigby: Carefully, I hear ya say her name three times fast she appears. I got enough on my plate. Speakin’ of plates... That gets me thinking of grub after the show. You in?
Josh Mitchell: I certainly haven’t got any better plans. Count me in.
Josh taps the book with his prosthetic.
Josh Mitchell: I’ll leave you to your cram session. See you after the show.
He smiles, giving her a light punch to the bicep, before walking off down the corridor. As he walks away, she leans over the table and thumbs through the book a bit more as the scene fades.

The match begins with both teams staring each other down in the center of the ring. Suddenly, all hell breaks loose as the fists start flying. The crowd roars with cheers as Peaches and Diaz are holding their own against The Systemic. But the momentum shifts on a dime. Now, it’s The Systemic in control as they knock Peaches and the Power Princess into opposite corners. Skylar III delivers multiple back elbows to Peaches before connecting with a CCS Enzuigiri.

It knocks Skylar II closer towards the ropes, but still not down. So Diaz runs into the far ropes. When she returns, she delivers a clothesline that sends Skylar II over the top rope and to the floor. While Diaz looks down at II, Skylar III leaps onto her back and tries for a sleeper. After staggering around the ring, Diaz grabs II and flings her down to the canvas. After III returns to her feet, Peaches sends her to the outside after a dropkick knocks her through the ropes. Skylar Cloud gathers up The Systemic on the outside to regroup. But Peaches has other ideas as she scales to the top turnbuckle.

He counters with a fallaway slam lift into a samoan drop for two. Skylar Cloud then instructs for III to head up to the top turnbuckle.

Skylar II sends Peaches back into the ropes. A big boot gets ducked. When she comes back, a backfist gets ducked. When Peaches returns, a clothesline gets ducked. Skylar III had had enough and connects with a gamengiri to the back of the head. As Peaches stumbles away from the ropes, Skylar II runs over her with a running shoulder block. He then goes to hoist her up for a Buckle Bomb. But Peaches counters the powerbomb with a sitout facebuster. With both grapplers down, the ref starts his count. By the count of seven, Skylar II has slowly rolled himself over towards the corner. With his 6’6” frame inside the 18x18 ring, he doesn't have to stretch out much to tag III back in. As soon as III gets in and races across the ring, Peaches dives over and tags Diaz back in. Diaz gets in and knocks III down with a punch to the face. III returns to her feet.

The match started as Hana cut off a tie up effort with a toe kick to the midsection. Song remained on the offensive, peppering Echo with shots to the back and some knife edge chops that backed Rigby against the ropes. An early Irish whip attempt didn’t work out for The Black Adder as she got surprised by a shoulderblock. Only for Song to take the advantage again, as she caught the approaching Peacemaker with a spinning heel kick. The pin attempt only got her a one count, though. More strikes ensued; Song delivered several soccer kicks to the spine before she picked her opponent up and sent her towards the corner. There Echo found herself on the receiving end of a high knee strike and some shoot kicks. Echo got herself back in when she countered an Irish whip attempt with a big boot to the face, and followed that up with a bulldog. Hana tried to cut off the momentum with a roundhouse kick, but that was ducked and countered with an atomic drop. In turn, that was followed by an STO … before Hana rolled out of the ring for a breather. As the match entered the fifth minute, Echo dived over the top rope with a somersault plancha. The fans enjoyed that one, and they popped loudly as Echo posed afterwards. As the match re-entered the ring, however, Rigby went up top for an elbow drop. That only got her a two count though. Rigby stayed on the offensive, slamming her opponent and performing several suplexes to try and take the wind out of her sails. As she went for a double moonsault out of the corner, however, Song managed to find a way back into the match with some raised knees to the ribs. In the eighth minute, Song unleashed a barrage of kicks and elbow strikes, which culminated in single knee facebreaker. That wasn’t enough for the three count though. Nor was the Rattler’s Bite that followed soon thereafter. The tenth minute rolled around and Echo countered another Irish whip to the corner, which caused Hana to run chest first into the turnbuckle. That was followed up with an inverted hurricanrana. Hana semi-recovered, only to get caught by a busaiku knee strike to the face. But only a two count. Hana tried desperately to get back into the match; she raked the eyes of her opponent and set Echo up for the Adder’s Kiss. But the scissors kick was dodged, and another inverted hurricanrana was enough for Echo to put her opponent down for the three count. Winner: Echo Rigby[ FADE OUT ]

Both competitors started by trying to rally the crowd behind them. The Winston-Salem fans seemed to have been won over by Mitchell, though. He used the support to gain the upper hand early on, applying a side headlock to try and wear Stoney down. She managed to fight out of it, only to get knocked down by a shoulder block. The pair criss-crossed across the ring and Mitchell caught his opponent with a single leg takedown. A series of clotheslines and body slams had Nymph wondering where she was, but she recovered in time to fight out of a sitout side slam attempt. Several elbows to the side of the head got Nymph the opening she needed; she followed up with a couple of bulldogs before getting a one count. The match entered the fourth minute with Stoney Nymph on the attack; she tried to keep an up pace tempo, flying around the ring with dropkicks and clothesline. But as Nymph went for a back body drop, Mitchell countered with a spinning neckbreaker. He followed that up with a Crimson Elbow and the fans thought it was over, only for Nymph to kick out at two and three quarters. Mitchell slowed the tempo down for a few minutes, applying various submission holds – from an ankle lock to a chinlock – all in an attempt to keep Nymph grounded. But she fought out of them all in various ways. In the seventh minute, Nymph went for a springboard crossbody block – but Mitchell ducked. Stoney hit the mat hard; she only recovered enough to get caught a lifting sitout double underhook facebuster. But Stoney still kicked out at two. After that kick out, however, Mitchell was pumped up. He waited for Stoney to get back to his feet before putting everything he had into another Crimson Elbow, which garnered him the three count. Winner: Josh Mitchell
After the match, Butcher slides in and knocks Mitchell down from behind with a Discus Northern Lariat. The bell sounds over and over as Butcher puts the boots to Mitchell. Butcher mounts himself on Mitchell's back and repeatedly rams him face-first into the canvas. After raking Mitchell's face on the canvas, Butcher rains down elbow smashes to the back of the neck. Butcher then places Mitchell in a camel clutch position before delivering clubbing forearms across the face. Butcher finally shoves Mitchell down to the canvas before standing triumphant over him. [ FADE OUT ]

The match begins with both men staring each other down before backing up and circling the ring. A collar and elbow starts things off. Despite being the shorter of the two, it’s McKinley that wins the battle as he shoves Bishop back into the ropes. Bishop slowly circles the ring before locking up with McKinley a second time. Again, it’s McKinley that wins the battle. This time, by shoving Bishop down to the canvas. Bishop can be seen growing visibly upset. He looks out to Malcolm Pope at ringside who reassures him that he’s got this. Both men look for the collar and elbow again. But no, Bishop opts for the cheap kick to the midsection at the last second. He then rocks McKinley with elbow smashes to the face. The last of which sends McKinley stumbling into the corner. Bishop turns McKinley around and takes his time delivering knife edge chops. McKinley then grabs Bishop, throws him into the corner and returns the favor with chops of his own. He then irish whips Bishop into the opposite corner. McKinley charges, but Bishop counters with a boot to the face. Bishop follows up with a bulldog out of the corner for two. An irish whip, followed by a clothesline also gets two. Bishop brings McKinley back to his feet and goes for a vertical suplex, but McKinley blocks it. So Bishop tries for another vertical suplex.

Slowly but surely, he scratches, claws and pulls himself from the middle of the ring towards the ropes. He reaches out with his right arm… and grabs the bottom rope. The crowd roars with cheers.

The match started with a collar and elbow tie-up as both men jockeyed for position. The larger Majima was able to easily overpower his opponent as he backed Danvers into a corner. The Japanese wrestler began by delivering several strikes, peppering his opponent with chops and forearm strikes. He soon managed to wear Danvers down to a seated position, allowing ShiMa to hit his Noshinto knee strike. The early pin attempt barely got a two count though. Majima stayed on the offensive until the third minute, when Mylo ducked under a clothesline and countered with a neckbreaker. He turned up the pace for the match; Danvers flew around the ring with dropkicks and chopblocks, all targeting the knees of Majima. He tried to end the match early, but each pin attempt only got a two. As the match entered the sixth minute, Danvers hit an overdrive to try and keep Majima down; he went for a submission hold, but Majima kicked him away, all the way out through the middle ropes. Danvers picked himself up as the match entered the seventh minute, and just in time to get caught by an elbow suicida from his opponent. The action stayed on the outside for a moment as Majima slammed his opponent into the ring steps, trying to even out the damage after those leg attacks. Mylo then got whipped into the guardrail before they went back into the ring. The hakai tsuchi allowed Majima to enter in style, before he went for a cover. Only a two count again. Majima stayed on the offensive until the tenth minute; a couple of near falls after various suplexes all took the wind out of Mylo’s sail. But as Shintaro went for his patented Kao No Nai, Mylo dived out of the way! ShiMa crotched himself on the turnbuckle, which allowed to hit a reverse suplex! The pin attempt only got him a two count though. Mylo’s advantage didn’t last long. Majima raked the eyes as he got lifted back to his feet and went for a powerbomb. But Mylo countered that with a hurricanrana! The tide started to turn in Danvers’ favor as he hit a reverse STO into the turnbuckle. But still only a two count. As the match entered the thirteenth minute, Danvers got caught on the top rope as he was waiting for the diving neckbreaker. With his opponent crotched on the top turnbuckle, Shintaro Majima climbed up and executed a Kurimuzon Jigoku off the ropes, putting the spirited Mylo Danvers down for the three count. Winner: Shintaro Majima

Our cameras cut to the backstage area where we see the APEX Tag Team Champions: the team of Mason & Becky, Brute Camp. The camera appears to be a handheld one, distant from the Lion’s Den camera-crew, in a darkened corridor just outside of a few of the LDFC dressing rooms. We see Becky stretching in the background, Tag Titles lied neatly just a few feet in front of her, and Mason sits in a folding chair, angled toward the camera, head angled downward for a bit before he rises his eyes to the lens.
Mason: We’ve been here in the Lion’s Den for a little bit now. I’ve been here for seven months and this summer, Becky’s coming up on a year in LDFC. We’ve led a newborn division and I think we were doing a damn good job for a while. I looked great, Beck kicked ass, and we were pretty much steamrolling over every pair of jamokes that called themselves a team. Ha. But um…
Mason leans forward a little, narrowing his eyes into the lens as his voice grows serious.
Mason: ...but here we are at the end of June and we haven’t actually dominated it. Big part of that is, for a long time, even after we won the APEX Tag Team Championships, we didn’t know what we were. Outside of the Den-- that’s one thing. But in the ring and as a unit, we were the ‘Brute Camp’ yet outside of the titles, what kind of identity did we have? Fuckin… fuckin Systemic pointed it out but it’s not like we didn’t know. Like…
Mason shrugs, glancing toward Becky as her stretching becomes more intricate. He turns back toward the camera after a pause.
Mason: Like, we know we’re good--
Becky: Reeeeeally good…
Becky gives Mason a small smirk, turning to face him, before resuming her routine.
Mason: Really good. But I guess every real big star out there, everyone that’s made it past the ‘Lion’s Den’ is known for that one, brutal, bloody, decisive victory. And dude, maybe going up against the Systemic was a reminder that these championships--
Mason gestures to the belts lying in front of Becky.
Mason: They don’t make us great, or even good. We have to earn them every single time we fight. We’ll do it when we face Keegs and the Baroness inside of a steel cage with our titles on the line in a few weeks. We’ll walk out on the other side of the steel, still your APEX Tag Team Champions, still breaking the hearts of your two least-favorite wrestlers, and we’ll keep doing it every night after to all the rest of 'em.
In the background, Becky finally pushes herself to her feet, pulling the APEX Tag Team Titles off of the ground with her. She places one on Mason’s shoulder, smiling faintly at him before placing her own around her waist.
Becky: Even when we’re going it alone.
Mason looks up at his partner for a moment, giving her a small nod before he turns toward the camera, leaning down to pick it up.
Mason: We’re never alone. We’re comin’, Prince.
Abruptly, we cut to black.

The match begins with MacRear trying to get the jump of Becky. But Becky avoids being jumped from behind and meets him with forearms to the face. She goes for an irish whip. But MacRear reverses and sends her into the ropes. When she returns, she brings MacRear down with a wheelbarrow arm drag, followed by two traditional arm drags. Once MacRear returns to his feet, Becky sends him to the outside with a dropkick that knocks him through the ropes. She then sets up for an elbow suicida. But she has to put on the brakes when MacRear scurries out of the way. MacRear tries to take a breather at ringside. But Becky is quick to slide to the outside and give chase. MacRear then rolls back into the ring. As soon as Becky rolls right in after him, she’s met with a series of stomps to the chest and face. MacRear then chokes Becky while pulling down on the top rope. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the choke. He lets go at four. MacRear brings Becky back to her feet, places her in a side headlock and rakes her face along the top rope. After Becky stumbles into a nearby corner, MacRear rakes her back. He then turns Becky around, unleashes a series of knife edge chops and then sends her into the opposite corner. MacRear runs across the ring, but Becky nails him with a back elbow to the face. While MacRear stumbles back, Becky comes from out of the corner and brings him down with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takeover. When MacRear gets back up, he gets knocked down by a dropkick. MacRear returns to his feet, only to get returned to the mat with another dropkick. Becky goes for a third dropkick. But MacRear sidesteps, swats her down and follows up with a punt kick to the ribs for two. MacRear delivers a snapmare, followed by a dropkick to the back of the head for two. A russian leg sweep also gets two. MacRear then goes for a vertical suplex. But Becky slips down from behind and rolls him up for two. After both grapplers return to their feet, MacRear rakes her across the eyes before planting her with a snap DDT for two. MacRear then goes for an irish whip, but Becky reverses. When he returns, Becky sets up for a back body drop. But MacRear counters with a spinning neckbreaker for two. MacRear then whips back hard into the corner. After she stumbles out, he sets up for a moonsault side slam. But Becky counters with elbows to the side of the head. Once free, free takes off into the far ropes. When she returns, MacRear flattens her with a running thump. A lateral press from MacRear gets two. MacRear executes a scoop slam. He then steps on Becky’s hair before reaching down and pulling up on her wrists. MacRear reaches down, grabs Becky by her blonde locks and flings her across the ring. He then marches over towards her and flings her across the ring again. MacRear pulls Becky up by the hair and swings her around. When MacRear lets go, Becky flies through the ropes and to the floor. Once Becky returns to her feet, MacRear goes for a spiraling crossbody to the outside. But Becky rolls back on, causing MacRear to splat on the floor. MacRear returns to his feet, but he gets a baseball slide to the back that sends him stumbling to the ground. MacRear eventually gets back to his feet again. When he turns around, he turns into an elbow suicida from Becky. But Becky’s not done on the outside. She mounts herself on top of MacRear and hammers away with right hands to the face. Becky rolls him back in after slamming him face-first onto the apron. A lateral press gets two. In the corner, Becky alternates between knife edge chops and shoot kicks. She whips MacRear into the opposite corner before charging at him. MacRear counters by dumping her over the top rope. But Becky lands on her feet. When MacRear turns around, she delivers a shoulder thrust through the ropes, followed by a slingshot DDT. A lateral press gets two before MacRear reaches over and grabs the bottom rope. Becky sends MacRear back into the previous corner. She goes for a Corner Yakuza Kick. But MacRear catches her foot before shoving her down to the canvas. After Becky rolls up to her feet, MacRear goes for a running clothesline. But Becky ducks and runs into the ropes. When she returns, MacRear delivers the Facial (Front Pancake Slam) for two. MacRear applies a rear chinlock. But Becky won’t submit. So he switches up to a fish hook, causing the ref to start a five count. MacRear reluctantly lets go at four and a half. He then wipes his hands off on the ref’s shirt after having it in “that Nasty’s” mouth. MacRear then reapplies the rear chinlock. But again, Becky refuses to quit. The crowd begins to rally behind Becky with alternating “LET’S GO BECKY!”/”MACREAR’S NASTY” chants. MacRear switches between covering his ears and reapplying the rear chinlock. Becky then slowly battles back to her feet. Five elbows to the midsection break the hold. Once free, Becky takes off into the ropes. But when she returns, MacRear knocks her down with a dropkick for two. MacRear storms into the corner and repeatedly slams Becky face-first into the top turnbuckle. After pummeling Becky down in the corner with a flurry of right hands, he shouts to the crowd “WHO’S UGLY NOW!?!?!?” The crowd responds with a collective “YOOOOOOOOOO” while pulling their index finger at him. This upsets MacRear, who calls the crowd “a bunch of the Nastiest Nasties he’s ever seen” as he marches into the opposite corner. He then runs back into the corner and goes for BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN EVERYWHERE. But Becky slips out onto the apron, causing MacRear to crash into the corner. Becky scales to the top turnbuckle while MacRear stumbles away from the corner. When he turns around, Becky drops him with a shotgun dropkick for two and a half. MacRear reverses an irish whip and sets up for a back body drop. But Becky counters with a sunset flip for two and a half. MacRear reverses another irish whip attempt and sends Becky into the corner. He charges at Becky, but he gets a boot to his face before his troubles. While he turns to clutch his jaw, Becky hoists herself up onto the middle ropes. When he returns around, she flips off and brings him down with a Blockbuster for two and a half. Becky heads back into the corner. This time, to the top turnbuckle. MacRear slowly returns to his feet. But Becky brings him back down to the mat with a diving neckbreaker for two and 3/4s. MacRear reverses yet another irish whip attempt. When Becky returns, he lifts her up for Damaged Goods. But instead of hitting his version of the GTS, Becky counters with elbows to the side of the head. She then slips down from behind, hops across MacRear’s shoulders and counters with a Game Over (Crucifix Driver) for two and 3/4s. Becky heads into the corner, climbs to the top and goes for a moonsault leg drop. But MacRear rolls out of the way, causing Becky to crash on the canvas. With both grapplers down, the ref starts his count. By the count of five, both grapplers start to slowly get back up. But MacRear goes after the left leg, knocking Becky back down with a basement dropkick. With Becky now on one knee, MacRear takes off into the ropes. When he returns, he spikes her with Uglified (Hurricanrana Driver) for two and 3/4s. He then sends her into the ropes and catches her on the rebound with the Facial (Front Pancake Slam) for two and 3/4s. MacRear slaps the canvas repeatedly out of frustration. But he stops once he looks over and sees Becky getting off the mat hunched over. He runs over and goes for The Face Mask (Jumping Curb Stomp). But Becky moves out of the way. MacRear turns around, but he gets rocked with a forearm strike, followed by Spirit! (Standing Shiranui) for two and 3/4s. Becky whips MacRear into the corner and goes for another Yakuza Kick. But again, MacRear catcher her foot and shoves her down to the canvas. After returning to her feet, Becky runs back into the corner. But MacRear steps out, catches her and counters with a standing moonsault side slam for two and 3/4s. MacRear goes for a brainbuster. But Becky locks it. Another brainbuster attempt is blocked as well. MacRear finally lifts her off the canvas. But Becky knees him in the head on the way up. Becky turns to run into the ropes. But when she returns, a spinning heel kick flattens her. MacRear then finally delivers a brainbuster and makes the cover. But the lateral press gets two and 9/10s. He then lifts Becky up for Damaged Goods. But again, Becky elbows him in the side of the head before slipping down from behind. But MacRear is quick to attack, knocking her down with a European Uppercut. He brings Becky back up, but she greets him with forearm strikes to the face. She then steps back and throws out a kick. MacRear catches her foot and spins her away from him. But Becky uses the momentum to counter with a Pelé Kick. While MacRear’s dazed, Becky delivers Gimme An S… (Leaping Reverse STO) before transitioning into Arabesque (Koji Clutch). MacRear can be heard screaming in pain while the crowd cheers. The ref asks him if he wants to give up, but he refuses. So Becky begins cranking away on the hold. MacRear reaches out with his free arm. But he’s nowhere near the ropes. The ref again asks him if he wants to give up. But MacRear still refuses. Loud “TAP!” chants are being shouted from the crowd at MacRear. But MacRear won’t tap. The ref asks him again if he wants to give. But he still won’t quit. MacRear tries to pull himself towards the ropes. But Becky cinches the hold on even tighter. The ref asks MacRear if he wants to give up. But he’s starting to fade. So the ref checks in with him again. This time, he gets no response. So the ref raises his arm and let’s go. It falls. The ref raises his arm a second time. It falls. The ref goes to raise his arm a third time. Just as it’s about to fall, the bell sounds. Becky lets go and raises her arms in the air, assuming victory. But the senior referee informs announcer Melanie Sierra that the match has ended in a time limit draw, much to the disdain of Becky and the crowd. After MacRear pulls himself up using the ropes, Becky demands five more minutes. She then leads the crowd in a five more minutes chant. But MacRear refuses, telling Becky he doesn’t care about Pride, what she wants and especially what these Nasties want. Boos consume the arena as MacRear walks off to the back. Time Limit Draw

(Jessie Pederson is standing by backstage in front of the LDFC Pride backdrop.)
Jessie Pederson: Hey guys! Jessie Pederson here and right now, I'm with the number one contender to the APEX Champion, Emily Carter!
(Emily walks into the picture and gives a big smile and wave to the camera.)
Jessie Pederson: Emily, we're two weeks away from Bound by Honor when you take on Nest. Are the nerves starting to get to you yet? Are you second guessing yourself?
Emily Carter: Nervous? Not at all! I look forward to the opportunity, as well as the challenge, of getting in the ring and facing Nest. He's a big man, Jessie. I've seen him rough up plenty of people in the ring with his brute strength. At the same time, I've seen him catch plenty of people off guard with his speed and agility. I guess you could say that Nest is the complete package, which is why he's lost few and far between. But with that being said, I still give myself more than a puncher's chance of winning. I'm not heading into this match fearing for my safety. I'm not heading into that match having been psyched out. I'm going into that match with confidence in my abilities, Jessie. And I'm confidant that if I can step into that ring and execute, I can walk out of there having won the APEX Cham...
(Suddenly, the interview is cut short as the APEX Champion Nest steps into the frame.)
Emily Carter: ... pionship.
(Nest looks at Jessie before turning his attention to his challenger. He doesn't say a word. He just looks Emily up and down before shaking his head. He then walks off at Jessie and Emily look on.)
Jessie Pederson: Emily, what was that about?
Emily Carter: ...
(Emily continues to stare off at Nest, who is now well down the hallway)
