FGA UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
(c) Cordy Stevenson vs. (c) Zero McHannon
The lights dim as the sound of a guitar plays throughout the arena. Red lasers soon begin to shoot out from the stage. Once their attention has been captured, the crowd turns to the entryway to prepare for the man that's about to walk out. At the 25 second mark, “Animal Ghosts” bursts through the speakers. Chandler Scott steps through the curtain with outstretched arms to a loud ovation from the crowd.
Kris Cruise: And here is our special guest referee for tonight’s historic match, Chandler Scott.
Stephy Auger: I still don’t buy what he’s selling. He’s going to screw Zero McHannon over so bad! I can feel it in my bones, Cruise! For a guy as egotistical as Chandler Scott, this opportunity is too good to pass up!
Chandler makes his way down to the ring with a smirk on his face. After slapping hands with a fan or two, he rolls himself into the ring as the lights come back on. Chandler times his ascension onto the middle ropes with the beginning of the chorus. The crowd sings along with the chorus while Chandler poses with his arms stretched. When the chorus ends, Chandler brushes off his fresh referee shirt before hopping down. 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
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.
She continues on down the ramp, working from side to side with a big smile as she slaps the hands of fans along the way. She gets to the ring and hops up onto the apron, mouthing the words and bouncing to the music as she makes her way around the side, towards the middle. She turns and faces her crowd, stretching her arms out to the side and slightly tilting her head backwards as she soaks in their reaction. She gives them an appreciative nod and blows a kiss at them, before stepping into the ring and making her way over towards the opposite turnbuckle. She quickly hops up and holds her arms out, drawing a reaction from that side of the crowd as well. She unzips her hoodie and tosses it away before hopping down and making her way over to her corner as the music dies down.
Kris Cruise: Here comes Cordy Stevenson, the woman that many feel is the rightful champion. She never quit when the going got tough. She stuck it out. For nearly three years, Stevenson climbed the mountain, only to get knocked back down time and time again. But after that last trek up the mountain, Stevenson finally claimed the World Championship! This should be her night! She should be the only one recognized as FGA World Champion! But she’s not, thanks to this man...
"Nobody Likes Me" by Deuce ft. Ronnie Radke hits the speakers. Bells are heard chiming through the speakers as the music comes in blazing, the lights surveying the arena, but then it stays focused on the top of the ramp with a bright white light. Zero McHannon walks through the curtain with the FGA World Championship fit firmly around his waist, and a black zip up with the hood over his head and a leather jacket over the hoodie. He turns his back to the audience, holding up a "Z" with both hands to the crowd, then turning around abruptly, and rips the "Z" apart.
“Nobody likes me,
No one likes me,
But I don't like them,
Uh uh, I don't, nu uh"
Zero holds his arms out for a moment and raises his head to take in the atmosphere from the fans as they shower him in hate, then slowly starts to make his way down the ramp. He walks down the ramp as fans are throwing jeers in his face, but Zero completely ignores them, and keeps his eyes fixated on the ring. McHannon stops at the bottom of the ramp and bounces on the balls of his feet, looking from one side of the arena to the other, then sliding in through the bottom rope, and bouncing right up to his feet.
“All this hate you gave me that turned me deranged
Now I'm burning in the flames
All the things you said, they've been stuck in my head
And now I'm at it again, an addict
Welcome to hell, bitch
You can't do nothing about it
Out of my way f*ggot, you heard what I said damn it
I am an automatic ready to fire back at
All the f*ckers laughing
Not gonna lie about it, I'm gonna wreck havoc
Everyone's dying
Don't matter"
Zero McHannon climbs the nearest turnbuckle spread his arms and begins to yell towards the crowd as they do their best to cheer over him with jeers. He freezes for a moment, taking in the reaction from the audience, then hops from the corner ropes, and tests the mat under his feet. He's talking to himself as he crosses the ring and stands up on the other turnbuckle, brushing off his shoulder to the crowd, and slapping himself in the chest. Finally, he unbuckles the FGA World Championship from his waist and holds it high above his head with one hand as the crowd tries to drown him out.
"This is my chance
Maybe my last
And if I leave
There's no way back
This is your fate
When worlds collapse
I took my pain
Now give it backkkkkkk"
McHannon walks into the middle of the ring with the title in one hand, and pulls off the zip up with his other hand, tossing it off to the side of the canvas. He falls back into one of the corners, and slumps into the turnbuckle, holding the World Championship close to this chest with both hands as he waits for the match to begin.
Kris Cruise: After defeating Chandler Scott last October, McHannon felt that he had nothing left to prove. Despite nearly two years left on his contract, McHannon up and walked out of the promotion, leaving this company without a World Champion. While McHannon went to various promotions to defend “his” title, FGA held a tournament to crown a new World Champion. The woman that won that tournament is standing right across the ring from McHannon right now. McHannon thought his departure would cripple this company. He thought him leaving with the title would cause this company to go belly up. But he couldn’t have been more wrong. So he sulked while this company survived and thrived without him. But McHannon being who he is, he just had to be the center of the attention. So he made his unannounced return at Final Frontier, attacking Stevenson from behind after the main event. He then attacked Stevenson during her match against the Usual Suspects, costing Status Quo the Tag Team Titles. He’s cost Stevenson one title while trying to argue the legitimacy of her World Championship. Rightly or wrongly, both grapplers are recognized as World Champion. But at the end of it all, there will only be one FGA Undisputed Champion! Let’s send it to the ring...
J.A. Aldridge: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the FGA UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP!
Cheers and applause can be heard throughout the arena.
J.A. Aldridge: Introducing first, now residing out of Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 218 pounds! He is the FGA World Champion, ZEEEEEEEEROOOOOO MCHAAAAAAANNOOOOOOON!!!
The Rogers Arena erupts with boos at the mention of McHannon’s name over the P.A.
J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, from Freeport, Long Island! Weighing in at 146 pounds! She is the FGA World Champion, COOOOOOOORDYYYYYY STEEEEEEEVENNNNSOOONNNNN!!!
Stevenson is met with an explosion of cheers from the crowd.
Scott heads over tells Stevenson that he has to pat her down. Stevenson rolls her eyes as she lets Scott pat her down. Scott then heads over towards the other corner. He goes to pat McHannon down, but he’s quickly met with a double bird.
Stephy Auger: HA HA! McHannon’s starting with him already.
Scott curls his lip as he heads back over towards Stevenson and calls for her championship. But Stevenson declines, instead handing the title off to the timekeeper on the outside. Scott then turns and heads back over towards McHannon. But McHannon tells him that as long as he’s around, he’s never letting Scott touch another World Title. He then forcefully brushes his shoulder past Scott, marches across the ring and tosses the title out towards the timekeeper.
Kris Cruise: Scott has claimed over and over that he’s going to call this match right down the middle. But with the attitude he’s getting, well, I can’t exactly say I disagree with the fan vote.
Scott calls for the bell. The bell sounds as both grapplers remain in their separate corners.
Stephy Auger: Alright, it’s go time!
Both champions continue to stare each other down from opposite corners. But the staredown is broken up at Scott yells at them both and signals for them both to engage. Stevenson and McHannon slowly make their way opposing corners and meet square in the center of the ring.
Crowd: “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!” “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!” “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!” “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!” “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!” “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!” “LET’S GO, CORDY!!!” “FUCK YOU, ZERO!!!”
Stephy Auger: They’re a lovely bunch, aren’t they?
Both champions are face to face while Scott stays in the background, waiting in anticipation for the action to get underway. McHannon strikes first with a right hand. But Stevenson comes right back with a punch of her own. McHannon nails Stevenson with another right hand. Stevenson comes right back with a punch of her own. McHannon with another right hand. Stevenson answers back with a punch of her own. McHannon motions for another punch. But Stevenson cuts him off with a punch of her own. McHannon motions for another punch. But once again, Stevenson cuts him off. The crowd cheers as she nails McHannon with another punch… and another punch… and anoth-NO! McHannon blocks and counters with a punch of his own. He then places Stevenson in a side headlock. But Stevenson is able to shove McHannon off of her and into the ropes. When McHannon returns, Stevenson drops down to the canvas. Instead of hopping over Stevenson, McHannon stops and goes for a jumping elbow drop. But Stevenson rolls out of the way, causing McHannon to crash on the canvas. She makes the cover.
ONE!

McHannon kicks out.
Stevenson sits up McHannon and places him in an armbar. Scott then gets down and asks McHannon if he wants to give up. McHannon responds by telling him to fuck off. After McHannon battles back to his feet, he uses his free arm to move Stevenson across the ring. While he presses her against the ropes, Scott heads over and gives them both until the count of five to break it up.
Scott: ONE… TWO.... THREE… FOUR… FIVE!
Scott then digs in between the two and breaks it up. He then turns to McHannon and admonishes him for not breaking things up by the count of five.
Both grapplers begin circling the ring. They then inch over towards each other and lock up. After jockeying for position, McHannon uses his strength advantage to move Stevenson across the ring and towards the corner. At the last second, Stevenson turns and presses McHannon against the ropes. Scott then gives them until the count of five to break it up.
Scott: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE!
Scott steps in and breaks things up again. He then turns to Stevenson and admonishes her for not breaking it up by the count of five.
Kris Cruise: Thus far, Scott’s been a man of his word.
Stephy Auger: Don’t worry, his true colors will show eventually.
While Stevenson argues with Scott, McHannon reaches over Scott’s shoulder and sucker punches Stevenson. The boos continues as McHannon nudges Scott out of the way before socking Stevenson with another right hand. The punch causes Stevenson to stagger away from her opponent and over towards the ropes.
McHannon comes up from behind, grabs Stevenson, marches into the corner and slams her face-first into the top turnbuckle. McHannon turns Stevenson around and nails her with a barrage of knee strikes to the midsection, followed by a series of back elbows. He then pummels Stevenson with a flurry of right hands before delivering a series of stomps that send her slumping down in the corner. From there, McHannon chokes Stevenson while pulling down on the top rope. Scott gives him until the count of five to break the choke.
Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE!
McHannon won’t break the choke! So Scott yells at McHannon to let go. But McHannon continues to ignore him while he chokes Stevenson! So Scott grabs McHannon and yanks him off of Stevenson.
Kris Cruise: Now he’s getting physically.
McHannon marches back over to Scott and puts his index finger in his face before yelling at him to fuck off! He then heads back over to Stevenson and delivers five more stomps to the chest before slowly pulling her up by her hair. After a hard slap across the face, McHannon takes Stevenson and whips her into the opposite corner. After Stevenson crashes into the corner, McHannon charges across the ring. But Stevenson knocks him back with a back elbow. After stumbling back, McHannon runs back into the corner. This time, Stevenson counters with a boot to the face.

Kris Cruise: Good counter there by Stevenson.
While McHannon shakes out the cobwebs on the floor, Stevenson begins to clap her hands. The crowd then takes their cue from Saint Sexy and join in. As McHannon starts to pick himself up off the floor, Stevenson turns and runs into the ropes. When Stevenson comes back, McHannon slides back in and throws out a clothesline. But Stevenson ducks and heads towards the ropes. When McHannon turns around, the crowd cheers as Stevenson knocks him down with the Beautiful Nightmare (springboard roundhouse kick).

Kris Cruise: Don’t get too cocky! This match is far from over.
Stephy Auger: Please, he’s in the ring with Cordy Stevenson. It’s over.
McHannon makes his way over to Stevenson and begins nudging her head with the toe of his boot. He then reaches down and pulls Stevenson off the apron.

Kris Cruise: What’s he going for here?

Mchannon walks over, pulls up Stevenson and doubles her over with a punch to the ribs. He then grabs a hold of Stevenson before hurling her across the ring with a pumphandle fallaway slam. The crowd boos as Stevenson’s momentum sends her rolling out of the ring and out onto the apron.
Kris Cruise: say what you want about him. But right now, Zero McHannon is controlling this contest.
Stephy Auger: As if there was ever any doubt. The only thing that makes it better for McHannon is that Scott is forced to watch this all go down.
Scott sticks his upper body through the ropes and checks on Stevenson. While this is happening, McHannon marches across the ring and shoves Scott out of the way before stepping out onto the apron. He grabs the top rope with both hands before stomping away at Stevenson’s chest. He then chokes Stevenson while pulling down on the top rope. Scott then gives him until the count of five to break the choke.
Scott: ONE… TWO… THREE... FOUR… FIVE!

Both grapplers fall to the floor. But it’s Stevenson that’s in immense pain.

Scott rolls to the outside and kneels over to check on Stevenson. But once again, McHannon rushes over and checks Scott out of the way.
Stephy Auger: HA HA!

McHannon picks up Stevenson, lifts her up and throws her down with a scoop slam across the edge of the guardrail. Stevenson bounces off the guardrail before falling to the floor.
Kris Cruise: He doesn’t just want to beat her, he wants to break her!
While Stevenson holds the small of her back, McHannon reaches down and slowly pulls back the protective matting, exposing the concrete floor.
Kris Cruise: No! This isn’t right! Scott has to step in and do something.
Scott tells McHannon not to do whatever he’s thinking of doing. McHannon responds by flipping Scott off.
Kris Cruise: What a class act he is.
McHannon smirks as he heads over and picks up Stevenson. He then drags Stevenson over across the exposed floor before bringing her back to her feet. After doubling Stevenson over with a knee to the midsection, McHannon turns away from Stevenson, hooks both arms, turns and lifts her up for a Vertebreaker. But Stevenson’s somehow able to slip out from behind. Before McHannon can turn around, Stevenson jumps up and brings him down with a leaping reverse bulldog.

The crowd gasps, then cheers as Stevenson gets her shoulder up.
McHannon looks over at Scott and barks at him that that was three. But Scott shakes his head before holding two fingers up back at him.
Stephy Auger: Yeah, I thought it was three, too!
Kris Cruise: It was close, but it was not three.
McHannon picks up Stevenson, lifts her up and throws her down with a scoop slam. He then goes over and lifts up Stevenson’s legs as he looks directly over at Scott. McHannon smirks as he steps through Stevenson’s legs, crosses them to around his and turns Stevenson over into the Scott Lock.
Stephy Auger: Oh yeah! AH HA HA!
Kris Cruise: Scott is forced to watch as McHannon puts Stevenson in his own submission hold. There’s really no level that McHannon won’t stoop to.
Stevenson howls in pain while McHannon has the hold locked in. Scott gets down and asks Stevenson if she wants to give up. But Stevenson refuses. So McHannon pulls back, increasing the pressure of the hold. Scott cringes as he sees the pain that Stevenson is in. So he continues to check in with Stevenson and asks her if she wants to give up. But she refuses.
Kris Cruise: Stevenson’s trying to fight through the pain. But her back has taken a lot of damage. It’s only a matter of time until she reaches her breaking point.
Stephy Auger: Which, in all honesty, should be any moment now.
Stevenson tugs at her hair while she groans in pain. McHannon can be heard yelling at Stevenson to tap out just like that bitch Chandler Scott. But she refuses. Scott looks up and narrows his eyes at McHannon before turning back to the other World Champion. Scott checks in with Stevenson once more and wants to know if she wants to submit. But again, Stevenson refuses to give up. She then reaches forward and tries to pull herself towards the edge of the ring.
Stephy Auger: What is she doing?
Kris Cruise: She’s fighting back, that’s what she’s doing!
The crowd cheers as Stevenson scratches, claws and pulls her way towards the ropes.
Kris Cruise: She’s making progress, Stephy!
McHannon can be seen shaking his head in disbelief as Stevenson gets closer and closer to the edge of the ring.
Kris Cruise: She’s almost there! She’s almost got it!
Stevenson reaches out… and grabs the bottom rope to an explosion of cheers. Scott then gives McHannon until the count of five to break the hold.
Scott: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FIVE!
Scott tells McHannon to break the hold. But once again, McHannon tells Scott fuck off. So Scott grabs McHannon and yanks him off of Stevenson.
Stephy Auger: He put his hands on McHannon again!
Kris Cruise: Yeah, because McHannon wouldn’t break the damn hold!
While Scott gets down and checks on Stevenson, McHannon rolls to the outside and grabs his “Z” spray painted FGA World Championship belt.
Kris Cruise: Oh no! Oh no! This is not good...
McHannon slides into the ring and marches over towards Stevenson. Scott turns and sees this. So he gets up and tries to stop McHannon from using the belt as a weapon. McHannon brushes right past Scott. But he stops dead in his tracks as Scott grabs the other end of the strap.
Stephy Auger: Uh oh...
McHannon turns around, looks down at his belt and then slowly looks back up at Scott.
Stephy Auger: Business is about to pick up, Cruise. This powder keg could explode at any moment!
McHannon tries to pull the belt away from Scott. But Scott yanks the belt away from McHannon and admonishes him for bringing the belt into the ring.
Kris Cruise: Scott’s reading him the riot act for trying to use that title belt as a weapon!
The two men continue to argue until McHannon dares him to hit him with the belt. But Scott refuses. So McHannon barks at Scott to stop being a bitch and hit him with the belt. But again, Scott refuses. As Scott turns to go and hand the belt off to someone on the outside, McHannon turns Scott back around and spits right in his face. The crowd gasps.
Kris Cruise: Oh boy...
Scott trembles with anger. He then clutches the championship in his hand before raising it up.
Stephy Auger: See! See! See! I told you!
Scott stops himself from bashing McHannon in the face with the chair. Scott is fighting his every fiber in his being to hold back. But McHannon isn’t making it easy as he continues to taunt him.
Kris Cruise: This crowd is daring for Scott to hit McHannon with the belt! Even McHannon is daring him to him him with the belt!
Scott takes the championship, runs and chucks it out of the ring and into the aisle. He then turns and wipes the spit from off of his face before telling McHannon to get back to fighting. McHannon looks Scott up and down before flipping him off again. When McHannon turns around, the crowd cheers as Stevenson knocks him down with a spinning heel kick. She makes the cover.
