MAIN EVENT
Dom Harter vs. Cordy Stevenson
Dom Harter vs. Cordy Stevenson
The opening chords of “Low Self Opinion” begin to play throughout the arena as some of crowd begin to boo, while others cheer. After ten seconds or so, Dom Harter steps out from behind the curtain. He throws his arms out to either side, the ever familiar crooked grin plastered on his face as he begins to stride down the aisle, soaking in the reaction that are coming from the fans here in Anaheim, California.
J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it’s your main event of the evening! Introducing first, from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 225 pounds! He is “The Tenacious Little Bastard”, DOM HARTER!
Harter climbs up the ring steps and climbs in through the middle rope; once inside the squared circle, Harter climbs up to the middle rope, posing for the fans as he waits for the match to start.
Kris Cruise: And Harter tonight is trying to fight back from his loss at Above and Beyond to Chandler Scott. He has gone on to say that there’s a fire in him, that he isn’t going to let his loss in the Frontier Lion’s Cup bring him down. He wants this win to prove himself against Cordy Stevenson tonight.
Stephy Auger: They don’t call him the Tenacious Little Bastard for nothing. He’ll be fine out there. He’s going to take this win and get Cordy to stop shoving her accomplishments in his face.
The lights dim down and take on a purplish hue as a light smoky mist fills the entranceway. The opening to A$AP Ferg's "New Level" cues up.
I’m on a new level
I’m on it, I’m on it
I’m on it, I’m on it
As the beat drops, the crowd gives a loud pop as Cordelia Stevenson emerges from the mist with a bounce in her step and dancing to the music. She comes to a stop atop the walkway, glancing around and taking in the reception before giving the crowd a warm smile. She rolls her neck around before bowing her head and letting her hair fall in front of her face. A few seconds go by before she snaps her head up, whipping her hair back from in front of her face.
J.A. Aldridge:His opponent, from Freeport, Long Island! Weighing in at 146 pounds! She is one half of the reigning and defending FGA World Tag Team Champions… CORDY STEVENSON!
Kris Cruise: Cordy may not be in the best of moods. All the turmoil with what the Usual Suspects and the rest of the tag division has gotten under her skin, it seems. But as we have seen in the past, an angry Cordy is a very dangerous one.
Stephy Auger: Dangerous or not, Cordy needs to stand as the pinnacle of the FGA Tag Team division, right? I know she’s fragile at times, but she’s supposed to be a proper champion. Be like Zero; he’s got his head on straight.
The bell sounds with both wrestlers circling around each other. Cordy and Harter lock up, with Cordy taking advantage early on. She brings Harter into a headlock, but Harter’s quick to react. He forces her into the corner, which prompts the referee to start to come over.
Referee: ONE…
Harter releases the headlock fairly quickly, raising his arms up in an innocent manner. He turns his attention back to Cordy and motions for her to try the lock-up again. Having gained the upper hand before, Cordy’s receptive to the idea. They lock up again, but Dom has the strength to power Cordy down to a knee. When she starts to lift herself off the mat, Harter lowers down and gets a double leg takedown. Cordy tries to sprawl, but Harter is fast to meet her. Despite his best efforts, Cordy gets to her feet.
Harter tries to keep her under his thumb with his strength, but he finds himself unable to stop Stevenson from hitting an elegant twirl out of his grip. Before he could follow up, he found himself eating the mat from a Drop Toe Hold. Harter rushes back to his feet, which what Stevenson was anticipating. A basement dropkick to the legs sends Harter back to the mat, which Cordy follows up with a chin lock. She distinctively rests her knee in the small of his back. Harter struggles against the hold for a moment, but starts to find a spot to get out. Rocking forward, he manages to catch the back of Cordy’s neck and flip her over himself. She hits the mat with an off, before getting up. Once she raises her head, Dom sprints forward and charges her into the corner. From there, Harter proceeds to lay into Cordy with several shoulder thrusts, taking his sweet time to get as much strength into them as possible.
He pulls Stevenson out of the corner and lifts her and back down with a powerslam. He hooks the legs.
ONE!

TWO!

Cordy gets the shoulder up.
Harter isn’t at all annoyed at Cordy getting the shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: Both competitors know that it will take everything they got to beat the other. They said it themselves.
Harter, with Cordy to her feet, sends her into the ropes. Cordy bounces off, but ducks underneath a short arm clothesline attempt from Dom. When Harter turns to meet her, Cordy’s already up in the air. Her legs hook around and swing Dom into the mat, a headscissors. When Harter rolls to his feet, he tries for another short arm clothesline, thinking he caught Stevenson off guard. She ducks under it barely, and drops Harter back down to the mat with a Russian Leg Sweep. She gains some distance before popping a moonsault. She lands on her feet, due to Harter getting to his feet. She tries for a punch, but Dom traps her arm, then her other, and finally sends Cordy into the mat with a belly-to-belly suplex.
Cordy crawls into the corner, resting momentarily. It is interrupted by Harter, who follows her and lifts her to the turnbuckle. He strikes her across her chest with a knife edge chop. The crowd echoes the resounding crack, which only implores Harter to hit her again. Harter takes a moment to celebrate his efforts, before lifting Cordy onto the top rope. When he goes up to try something, he gets struck in the gut by Cordy. She continues to batter on him before she shoves him off. Harter manages to save his formerly injured shoulder by falling another way.
Stephy Auger: PHEW. That could have been bad! Six more months with Harter? Oh, the humanity!
Once he makes it to his feet, Cordy leaps off, striking him back to the ground with a missile dropkick. She takes off the ropes and comes back into a roll. She hits the picture perfect Rolling Senton before going for a quick cover.
ONE!

TWO!

Dom kicks out!
Cordy makes it to her feet, before heading for the opposing corner. Harter slides under the rope, avoiding anything Cordy seemed to be setting up for. She turns herself to the outside before leaping out towards Harter. When she comes down, Harter catches her and slams her into the barricade. The crowd both pops and boos at the action. Harter lurches over on the ring apron before sliding into the ring with a sigh.
Kris Cruise: Mixed reaction from the crowd there.
Stephy Auger: They may be mad at what he did, but they can’t disregard that feat of strength there.
The referee begins to make the count for Cordy, who is starting to muster up the strength to get up.

Dom gets out the pin!
Stevenson’s to her feet first, but as she draws close, Harter throws a heavy short arm clothesline that flips Cordy inside out.
Stephy Auger: Her head might be in the second row there!
Harter drags his hand through his hair before bringing Cordy back to her feet. He sends her off the ropes, before she launches herself over them. Harter sees her hanging on and tries to rush in, but Stevenson drags the ropes down. Harter hits the floor while Stevenson ascends the turnbuckle. She waits for Harter to get up, who then rushes the apron. He tries to hit her, but she captures his arms, before looking out to the crowd. With a leap, she brings herself and Harter back to the outside mat. She plants Harter with a DDT on the way down, causing the crowd to erupt.
Stephy Auger: Cordy’s a madwoman! She could have caused some serious damage to Harter there!
Kris Cruise: Both competitors are down right now. I think they’re about to even when it comes to damage now!
ONE!
TWO!

Stevenson, still winded from Dom’s painful reversal earlier and her daredevil stunt, starts to make her way up the ring apron. She breathes heavily. Harter is laid out, one hand over his face. He starts to shake out the cobwebs.

On her feet now, Stevenson heads over to Harter, starting to bring him up. She struggles for a moment, but with a brief moment of effort, she is able to send him into the ring. She follows in at the eight count. She props herself on the ropes, nodding to herself. When Harter gets to one knee, she takes off and launches herself over him, taking him down with a Blockbuster DDT. Harter sprawls out again; Stevenson follows with the lateral press.

Stevenson leans up, shaking her head ‘no’. She gets up, dragging Harter up to a vertical base. She twists his head around, holding him in a Neckbreaker position. She wriggles her hips, before giving a wink to the fans.
Kris Cruise: Deadly Seduction-
Stephy Auger: Not today!
Dom forces himself back, shoving Stevenson towards the ropes. She bounces off into his arms, where he tries for a spinebuster. But on the way down, Stevenson manages to move her legs out of his grasp and plant them on the mat. She then completes Deadly Seduction before going for another pin.

Kris Cruise: And Dom living to his name here. Cordy managing to get Deadly Seduction off in the end.
Cordy smiles gently to herself, knowing of Dom’s famous tenacious nature. When he starts making it to his feet, Cordy kicks him the gut before hitting with a spinning heel kick. Dom stumbles into the corner. Cordy takes a step back and flips towards him. She hits a handspring right into Dom’s grasp. He hooks her and then drops her with a Reverse Implant DDT. He falls down for the cover.

Kickout from Cordy Stevenson!
Dom shakes his head in frustration, before looking at the referee. The referee motions for the two count, which Harter begrudgingly accepts. He gets up, taking Stevenson to a vertical base. He sends her off the ropes and tries for another dangerous short arm clothesline, but Stevenson ducks underneath it. She springboards off the rope…
Kris Cruise: BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE!
Harter falls backward onto the ropes, hanging off them. When he comes back, he gets cracked with The Foot Fetish from Cordy. He has no other choice but to fall to the mat. As he lies there, Stevenson reaffirms herself. She looks around before focusing on the fallen Harter. She heads over to the top rope, ascending with much effort. She takes a deep breath before trying to head off.
Kris Cruise: The Beauty School Dropout!
Stephy Auger: NO ONE’S HOME, CORDY!
With what seemed to be raw instinct, Harter moves out of the way. Cordy lands hard on the mat and flops over onto her stomach. Harter is still unmoving, only getting out of dodge. The referee looks at them both before having to start the count.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Harter starts to use the nearby ropes to get back on his feet.
Referee: FOUR!
Harter breaks the count by standing up straight. When he walks forward, he stumbles, but manages to catch his bearings. He goes over to the limp Stevenson and brings her to a standing position. He hooks her between his legs and lifts her for what seemed to be a powerbomb. However, when he gets her up, Cordy reverses it with a quick hurricanrana.
Harter gets to his feet, holding the arch of his back. Stevenson kicks him in the gut and brings him under her armpit. She looks for the Allure, but suddenly Dom sparks to life. He shoves her into the turnbuckle before backing off. When Cordy tries to move forward, Dom rushes back in and catches her with a vicious Yakuza kick! Stevenson falls to the mat with a heavy thud. Dom goes for the cover again.
ONE!

Cordy kicks out again!
Stephy Auger: Just stay down, Cordy! It’s okay to lose. Harter Hits Harder, remember?
Kris Cruise: I don’t think Cordy will stay down just because of some statement!
Harter has Cordy up again, hoisting her up on his shoulders. He stands there for a moment before trying for his Samoan Driver. Cordy starts to fight back, wriggling madly. Harter tries to sustain her but Stevenson works her way out of his grip. A fierce elbow to the side of the neck forces Dom to let go. After such, Stevenson takes off for the ropes, handspringing off them. When she comes back, she strikes Dom down with an Enziguri. She lays there on the ground, before starting to crawl towards Harter. She drapes an arm over his body.
ONE!

Harter gets the shoulder up.
Stephy Auger: Phew, that was a close one!
Kris Cruise: That can be said about this whole match!
Stevenson starts the slow drag back to vertical position. She once again hits him in the gut, placing him prime and center for The Allure. When she spins around, Dom shoves her forward. She turns around into a gut kick from Harter. He quickly captures her and hurls her over with a Flapjack Powerbomb. However, he doesn’t measure the full direction.
Kris Cruise: Oh God!
Sickeningly and unbeknownst to him, Cordy catches her throat on the top rope as she hits. She ricochets off to the fierce pan of the crowd. Harter turns around, seeing Cordy tossing and turning on the ground. He spares her no quarter and brings her to her feet. With a glint in his eyes, Dom picks her up and plants her with Silent Machine! He hooks the leg.

“Low Self Opinion” starts up to the half and half reaction of the crowd.
J.A. Aldridge:Here is your winner, DOM HARTER!
Kris Cruise: A gutwrenching counter brings an end to this match. A prime opportunity made itself at Cordy’s expense. But nevertheless, this was a hard fought contest that both should be proud of.
Stephy Auger: It was an honest accident. Harter didn’t see it. It happens!
Harter waits for Stevenson to start coming to. When she looks up, she glares dagger at them. Harter only gives her a nod and a quick thumbs-up before exiting the ring. The whole while, Stevenson coughs. The referee goes to tend her, only getting a nod from Saint Sexy in terms of how she was doing.
