MAIN EVENT
Cordy Stevenson vs. Chandler Scott
Melanie Sierra: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is your main event of the evening!
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 pushes through the curtain to a loud ovation from the crowd.
Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, from Westwood, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 226 pounds! He is the “DNA of FGA”, CHAAAAANDLEERRRRR SCOTTTTT!!!
Chandler makes his way down to the ring with a smirk on his face. After slapping hands with one or two lucky fans, he leaps onto the apron and enters through the ropes. Chandler times his ascension onto the middle ropes with the beginning of the chorus. The crowd sings along with the chorus while puts his hand above his eyes to scan the crowd. He smirks as he slowly slaps his chest three times before pointing to a lucky fan in the crowd. When the chorus ends, Chandler hops off the middle ropes, turns and lands on his feet. He begins slipping off his jumpsuit and tosses it to the outside as he waits for his opponent.
Geoff Penzer: Here is Chandler Scott, who is going to be facing one of his greatest rivals for the very last time! Scott knows Cordy Stevenson well. But she knows him like the back of her hand and with this being her final match? You know, you absolutely know, that she is going to give him the toughest fight possible! Scott’s got to be ready for everything and everything. Stevenson wants to go out on a high note. She’s retiring the day after becoming a Hall of Famer. The only better way to ca off this weekend is with a win here in the main event!
Once Scott’s music fades out, he begins to pace back and forth as the crowd buzzes with excitement. Near-deafening “Cordy!” chants fill the arena as Scott waits impatiently for his opponent...
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.
Geoff Penzer: Here we go ladies and gentlemen...
I’m on a new level
I’m on it, I’m on it
As the beat drops, the crowd gives a thunderous pop as Cordelia Stevenson emerges from the mist with a bounce in her step and dancing to the music.
Geoff Penzer: Here is the Hall of Famer making her way out through that curtain for the last time!
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.
Melanie Sierra: And his opponent, from Freeport, Long Island! She is COOOOOOOORRRRRDEEEEELIIIAAAAAA STEEEEEEEVENNNNNSOOOONNNNNNN!!!
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.
Geoff Penzer: I cannot imagine the amount of nerves that Cordy Stevenson must be feeling right now! Does Cordy Stevenson have one last great performance in her? You bet she does!
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.
The bell sounds as the crowd explodes with cheers. Both grapplers begin to circle the ring once they stop to pay attention to the dueling chants,
LET’S GO, CORDY!
LET’S GO, CHANDLER!

Scott can be seen shaking his head in disbelief as Stevenson continues to make progress towards the ropes. Stevenson doesn’t want to end he career by tapping out! Scott keeps the hold locked on as tight as he can. He tries to slow her down the best he can. But it’s to no avail as Stevenson continues to scratch and claw her way towards the side of the ring. Stevenson reaches her arm out. The crowd explodes with cheers when she grabs a hold of the bottom rope! Scott releases the hold. He drops down to his knees before slapping the canvas in frustration.
Geoff Penzer: SHE MADE IT! SHE MADE IT TO THE ROPES!
As Stevenson goes to pull herself up using the strikes, Scott comes up from behind and nails her with clubbing strikes across the back. He then follows up with double ax handle smashes across the back before delivering punches to the lower back. The succession of blows drops Stevenson down to a knee. Scott then presses down on the back of Stevenson’s neck and chokes her across the middle rope. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the choke.
Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…
Scott lets go to run into the far ropes. When he returns, he goes for a leaping body guillotine. But Stevenson moves out of the way, causing Scott to crotch himself across the middle rope on the way down. The crowd cheers as Scott bounces off the ropes before falling to the canvas. Scott gets back to his feet before staggering across the ring and dropping back down to the canvas. He holds himself while he howls in pain.
Geoff Penzer: Scott is down and he is HURTING! Stevenson’s got another opening! She’s got the crowd solidly behind her! Can she get back into this match and put this away!?
Scott cringes in pain while he remains curled up on his back. He then slowly turns over and gets up on all fours. Once he feels he’s recovered enough, he returns to his feet. When Scott turns around, Stevenson runs over and plants him with Head Over Heels! The crowd explodes with cheers when Scott bounces off the mat. As Scott turns over onto his back, Stevenson gets back to her feet and slowly staggers over into the corner. She then steps out onto the apron and holds her lower back before scaling to the top turnbuckle. Stevenson remains crouched down on the top turnbuckle while she waits patiently for Scott to get in position. After Scott turns over on all fours, he gets back to a vertical base. As soon as he turns around, the crowd gasps and cheers when Stevenson stands up, leaps off and goes for Get Familiar (The O-Face). But Scott leaps up and counters with a jumping European Uppercut in mid air! Stevenson crumbles to the canvas. While Stevenson lays sprawled out on the apron, Scott staggers across the ring before dropping down to the canvas. He immediately rolls over onto his back and clutches his arm.
Geoff Penzer: Stevenson’s down! But so is Scott!
Scott lets out a guttural wail once he realizes something is seriously wrong.
Geoff Penzer: He’s down and he is hurt. Bad! I believe that was the same move that ended up damaging his shoulder two years ago.
Stevenson slowly turns over and gets up on all fours. She then pulls herself up using the ropes. When Stevenson turns around, she sees the ref kneeling down next to Scott while Scott lays in agony. Stevenson immediately puts two and two together. Stevenson slowly makes her way over to Scott and goes to help him back to his feet. Scott takes his good arm and grabs a hold of Stevenson’s hand. After Stevenson slowly pulls him back up to the mat, the crowd gasps when Scott kicks her in the midsection, lifts her up and plants her with the DNA Driver (Bloody Sunday).
Geoff Penzer: DNA DRIVER! Scott suckered her in and plants her with the DNA DRIVER!
Scott turns over and makes the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

NO!
The crowd gasps, then explodes with cheers when Stevenson gets her shoulder up.
Geoff Penzer: She got her shoulder up!? SHE GOT HER SHOULDER UP!!!
Scott rolls away from Stevenson before getting up on his knees. He holds up three fingers at the ref. But the ref shakes him off. He asks the ref if it was a three count. When the ref tells him it was only two, Scott rolls over onto his back and places his hands over his face in shock.
Geoff Penzer: Scott can’t believe it and neither can I! I thought that was three! I thought it was all over! But the fight of Cordy Stevenson, my God is it something else!
Scott snaps out of it before getting back to his feet. He goes over, pulls up Stevenson and sends her into the corner with an irish whip. Scott runs across the ring and nearly takes her head off with a running European Uppercut. After Stevenson slumps down in the corner, Scott reaches down, pulls her back up and sends her into the opposite corner with an irish whip. Scott runs, jumps and goes for a flying corner elbow smash. But Stevenson moves out of the way, causing Scott to crash into the turnbuckles. Scott slowly stumbles back. When he turns around, the crowd explodes with cheers when Stevenson knocks him down with the Foot Fetish. After turning Scott around, She steps out onto the apron and calls for the Cynderana (Shooting Star Double Footstomp).
Geoff Penzer: Could another ode to Cindy Parker be coming up!?
Stevenson scales to the top turnbuckle. The crowd stands up and buzzes with anticipation as Stevenson raises her arms in the air. She flips off and goes for the Cynderana. But Scott rolls out of the way. After Stevenson lands on her feet, her leg buckles. Stevenson lets out a harrowing yelp as she immediately crumbles to the mat and grabs her ankle.
Geoff Penzer: Oh no...
The fans in in attendance stand in hushed silence while the only noise that can be heard are Stevenson’s wails. She clutches her ankle for dear life. She can be seen shaking her head in disbelief while muttering “not again… not again…”
The production members in the control truck switch to various shots of fans in the crowd. Some fans stand with their hands on their head. Some begin to shed tears. Some cover their mouths with shock while others stand with their mouths agape.
The crowd murmurs amongst themselves as the ref snaps out of the shock and goes to check on Stevenson. The ref asks her if she wants to give up. When he sees that she’s in no condition to continue, he throws up the X sign as he looks down the aisle. He then goes to call for the bell when Stevenson grabs his arm. The ref looks down and sees Stevenson shaking her head at him. The ref tells her that she can’t continue. But she shakes him off, telling him that she can. The crowd applauds as Stevenson turns over on all fours. She tries to get back to her feet, but she immediately crumbles back down to the canvas. The ref covers his mouth while a collective shock comes over the crowd.
Scott sees all of this and makes his way over Stevenson. The ref tries to get in between him and Stevenson. But Scott moves him out of the way. Scott drops down next to Stevenson. He lowers his head with a somber look on his face. He then takes Stevenson’s arm and drapes it across his neck. Scott then begins to slowly help Stevenson back to her feet when she quickly places him in a front facelock and drops him with The Allure. The crowd stands in stunned silence, then explodes with cheers upon seeing Scott motionless on the mat.
Geoff Penzer: STEVENSON SUCKERED HIM IN AND DROPS HIM WITH THE ALLURE!
Stevenson crawls over, pushes Scott over and makes the cover.
Crowd: ONE!
Ref: ONE!
Crowd: TWO!!
Ref: TWO!!
Crowd: THREE!!!
Geoff Penzer: NO!
The crowd gasps, then cheers when Scott gets his shoulder up!
Geoff Penzer: How!? HOW!?
Stevenson looks up at the ref and holds up three fingers. The ref shakes his head. Stevenson gets back to her feet and holds up three fingers. But again, the ref shakes his head and tells her that it was only two. Stevenson stops her foot in disbelief.
Stevenson snaps out of it. She then marches over, pulls up Scott and goes for The Allure. But Scott slips out and shoves her into the ropes. When she returns, the crowd explodes with cheers when Scott turns her inside out with the Pinpoint Dropkick. He then picks up Stevenson and whips her into the ropes. When Stevenson returns, Scott lifts her up and delivers a flapjack. He then places his arms around her waist and hoists her off the canvas before throwing her down with a deadlift gutwrench sitout powerbomb.
ONE!

The crowd explodes with cheers when Stevenson gets her shoulder up. Scotts lays on his back and puts his hands over his face.
Geoff Penzer: I can’t believe it! Scott can’t believe it! This sold out crowd can’t believe it! But they’re elated! Stevenson is not out of this! There’s still fight left in the Hall of Famer! What a match!
Scott picks up Stevenson and whips her into the corner. He then runs, jumps and cracks her across the face with a flying corner elbow smash. After sitting Stevenson up onto the apron, he reaches back and goes for the Mass Spike (top rope-hung Cutter) when Stevenson slips down jumps up and brings him down with a leaping reverse bulldog! The crowd cheers as she makes the cover.

Scott gets his shoulder up.
Stevenson slowly brings Scott up off the canvas. She nails him with a right hand… and another… and another. Stevenson’s punches pick up in speed as she begins to hammer Scott down to a knee. She then quickly places him in a front facelock before planting him with a Kneeling Snap DDT. The cheers continues as Stevenson turns over and pulls herself towards the ropes. After pulling herself up using the ropes, she waits for Scott to return to his feet. Once Scott gets up back up and turns around, Stevenson runs across the ring, flips and plants him with Head over Heels. With Scott sprawled out on the canvas, Stevenson rolls out onto the apron before pulling herself up using the ropes. The crowd buzzes with cheers as Stevenson scales the turnbuckles. Once she reaches the top, she flips off for The Beauty School Dropout (630 Senton Splash). The cheers turn turn into a collective gasp when Stevenson crashes down across Scott’s knees.
Geoff Penzer: Scott got his knees up! He got the knees up at the last second!
Stevenson bounces off his knees before rolling away from the corner. Stevenson howls in pain as she holds her lower back. Meanwhile, Scott reaches up and begins to slowly pull himself up in the corner using the ropes. Scott leans against the turnbuckles as he slowly waves Stevenson up. The waves get faster the closer Stevenson gets to her feet. After Stevenson returns to a vertical base, Scott runs up from behind and knocks her down with a running Roaring Hammer to the back of the head. He drops down, pushes Stevenson over and makes the cover.
OOOOOONNNNNNE!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEno!!!
The crowd explodes with cheers when Stevenson gets her shoulder up. Scott looks up at the ceiling and shakes his head.
Geoff Penzer: Scott doesn’t know what to do! He doesn’t know what he has to do to put Cordy Stevenson away!
Scott snaps out on it before turning over onto his knees. After getting back to his feet, he reaches down, grabs a hold of Stevenson and slowly brings her back to her feet. He then takes Stevenson and whips her into the ropes. Upon her return, Scott lifts her up and catches her on the way down with a Pop-up European Uppercut. While Stevenson stands on wobbly legs, Scott steps back before turning her inside out with a discus Roaring Hammer. The cheers continue as he drops down and makes the cover.

The crowd cheers as “Animal Ghosts” blasts over the PA.
Geoff Penzer: It’s over!
Melanie Sierra: Here is your winner, CHANDLER SCOTT!
The cheers continue as Scott stands up on his knees. The ref goes to raise his hand. But he pulls his arm away before rolling to the outside. Scott doesn’t celebrate the win. Instead, he makes his way up the aisle, giving Stevenson the spotlight. As Scott’s music fades out, Stevenson remains motionless on her back. She begins to stir on the canvas as she starts to come to. When Stevenson sits up, she’s met with cheers from the crowd. After returning to her feet, the crowd joins her in standing on their feet. Stevenson looks around, taking in the standing ovation. Cheers and applause continue fill Allstate Arena. Stevenson puts her hands on her hips as tears begin to roll down her face. She puts her head down as the cheers and applause get even louder.
THANK YOU, CORDY!

Stevenson finally lifts her head back up before saluting the crowd. She turns and sees Geoff Penzer and Melanie Sierra applauding her. Stevenson makes her way to the outside and shakes hands with them before slowly making her way around the ringside area. The Hall of Famer takes the time to shake the hand of every fan as they express their love for her. After performing the lap around the ring, Stevenson walks up the aisle. The production truck cuts to various fans bowing, applauding, cheering, wiping tears from their eyes and holding up their Cordy signs. Once Stevenson turns around at the top of the ramp, she raises her arms in the air and is met with another rush of cheers and applause from the crowd. Stevenson smiles as she takes it all in for one last time and before calling it a career...
