Ashlyn De Luca remains in the ring leaning up against the turnbuckles. Still at ringside is Logan Alexander, who hits the apron to get De Luca’s attention and give her some last minute words of advice. Also at ringside is Evan Envi, who is still shaking his head in disbelief after what he just saw. The crowd explodes with cheers as an irate Johnny Karma marches down the ring. Envi reads how pissed off Karma is takes a hard gulp as he climbs up onto the apron.
Geoff Penzer: Johnny Karma is back and he looks to be even more P.O.’d than he was when he left! And rightfully so! What in the hell is wrong with Neon!? What role did The Chief have in all of this!?
Once Karma stomps his way up the steps and enters through the ropes, Envi enters the ring from the other side. Karma looks down as he paces back and forth. Envi slowly approaches Karma and proclaims his innocence. But Karma straight up ignores him. Seeing that he’s not getting through to Karma, Envi reaches out and stops Karma by grabbing him by the shoulders. There’s a loud “OOOOOOOOH” that comes from the crowd as Karma stops in his tracks. He looks over at Envi’s hand then slowly scrolls up and locks eyes with Envi. Karma smacks Envi’s hands from off him, grabs The Chief by the throat and moves him into the corner. The crowd explodes with cheers as Karma is trembling with anger. Envi’s eyes are widened with shock.
The ref quickly gets in between the two and moves Karma back. Once Karma is back towards the center of the ring, the ref heads back over towards the corner and instructs Envi to leave. Envi does a double take. But the ref holds his ground and points to the back. Envi continues to massage his throat before ultimately nodding his head at the ref and heeding his instructions. He begins to walk to the other side of the ring when he stops and glances over in Karma’s direction. But Karma won’t even give him the courtesy of looking him in the eyes. Karma keeps his eyes glued on the canvas as he desperately tries to compose himself. Envi lets out a defeated sigh before continuing to walk forward and exit the ring.
Geoff Penzer: Envi’s is trying to tell Karma that he didn’t have a hand in what happened. But Karma doesn’t want to hear it from him and neither does a portion of this capacity crowd! What a turn this story has taken between Karma and Envi! I just hope that Ms. Baum will be okay. She didn’t deserve that! Not at all!
Alexander motions towards Envi to talk to him. But Envi just waves him off as he continues his trek up the aisle and to the back.
Once the bell sounds, Karma slowly turns over and sees De Luca in the corner. De Luca takes a deep breath before nodding. She then makes her cautiously out of the corner and tries to engage with a collar-and-elbow. But Karma is quick to kick her in the left leg.
Geoff Penzer: Oh no!
After another kick to the leg drops De Luca down to a knee, Karma follows up with a knee lift that knocks her down. Alexander looks over at Karma. He doesn’t try to interject himself into the match. But he’s clearly bothered by Karma’s decision to go after De Luca’s injured leg.
Geoff Penzer: It looks like Karma is taken out his frustrations on De Luca and that leg!
De Luca slowly turns over onto all fours. After getting back up to her feet, Karma runs up from behind and delivers a kick to the back of the left quad, knocking her legs out from under her and sending her down onto her back. De Luca seethes as she reaches back and touches her left quad. She slowly turns over onto all fours before getting back to her feet. As De Luca tries to limp away, Karma runs up from behind and delivers another kick to the left quad. Again, De Luca’s legs are kicked out from under her and she lands right on her back. De Luca then rolls over towards the ropes. After pulling herself up using the ropes, Karma runs up from behind and delivers a hard kick to the back of the leg, sending De Luca flipping down to the canvas. He then reaches down, grabs De Luca by the left ankle and drags her towards the center of the ring. He goes for a figure four leglock when De Luca reaches up and reverses into a small package.
ONE!
.

TWO!

Karma kicks out.
After both grapplers get back to their feet, Karma grabs De Luca and lifts her up for a shinbreaker. But De Luca’s able to counter with a punch to the face. After she’s lowered back down, De Luca rattles off a series of snapping jabs. She then follows up with a European Uppercut before taking Karma and sending him into the ropes when with an irish whip. When Karma returns, he knocks her down with an NYC Uppercut (running European Uppercut). Karma picks up De Luca, marches into the corner and slams her face-first onto the top turnbuckle. He then turns De Luca around before unleashing a series of knife edge chops that echo throughout the arena. After hooking De Luca’s leg around the middle rope, Karma takes the leg into his arms and bends it back against the ropes. The ref gives Karma until a count of five to release the hold.
Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…
Karma reluctantly lets go. He then unhooks De Luca’s leg and goes for an irish whip. But De Luca hangs onto the top rope with her free arm. So Karma goes for another irish whip attempt. But again, De Luca keeps a hold of the top rope. So Karma lets go and follows up with a kick to the midsection. He then takes De Luca and goes for an irish whip. But again, De Luca hangs onto the top rope. So Karma lets go and nails her with a European Uppercut. De Luca comes back with a forearm strike to the face. Karma delivers another European Uppercut. De Luca answers back with another forearm strike. De Luca then cuts off a European Uppercut attempt from Karma with another forearm strike. Another forearm strike knocks Karma back. Another hard forearm across the face knocks Karma back even further.
Geoff Penzer: De Luca’s fighting back.
The crowd cheers as De Luca takes her left arm and holds the back of Karma’s had. She then pulls him forward and bashes him with a flurry of forearm strikes to the face. The crowd reaches a fever pitch while De Luca continues to bash Karma with forearms at a fast rate. She then turns and limps into the ropes. When De Luca returns, Karma connects with Check Your Chiclets (superkick)! Spittle goes flying out of De Luca’s mouth as she stumbles back, slips through the ropes and falls to the floor.
Geoff Penzer: Karma nearly took her head off with that superkick! You would have to guess that Karma envisioned nailing Neon or Envi with that kick!
While Alexander heads around the ringpost and claps for De Luca while trying to give her some words of encouragement. He then steps back and allows for De Luca to get back up. As De Luca struggles to pull herself up using the edge of the apron, Karma turns and runs into the far ropes. When Karma returns, he goes for This Is For The Front Row (baseball slide clothesline). But De Luca ducks. When Karma turns around, De Luca doubles him over with a kick to the midsection, places him in a front facelock and uses the ring apron to plant him with a Tornado DDT on the outside! The crowd cheers after Karma is brought down!
Geoff Penzer: De Luca with a desperation Tornado DDT on the outside! The newest member of Flashpoint has stopped Karma dead in his tracks.
While both grapplers remain sprawled out on the outside, the ref heads to the floor and checks on both combatants. Karma remains motionless on the outside while De Luca begins to stir. She then turns over and gets on all fours. After struggling to pull herself up using the edge of the apron, De Luca slowly rolls back inside. While De Luca favors her leg, the ref heads back inside and strats his count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
TE-!
Cheers and applause are heard from the crowd when Karma rolls in at the last second to just barely beat the ten count.
Geoff Penzer: Karma’s back in!
De Luca gets to her feet, limps over and puts the boots to Karma. She then mounts herself on top of Karma and rains down with forearm strikes to the face. She then switches to 12-to-6 elbows. The ref tries to get De Luca to let up. But De Luca nudges the ref away and goes back to hammering away on Karma.
Geoff Penzer: De Luca’s had enough! After Karma went after her, she’s giving it back to hm tenfold!
De Luca pulls Karma back up to his feet, moves him into the corner and slams him face-first into the top turnbuckle. After turning Karma around, De Luca sends him slumping down in the corner with another flurry of forearm strikes to the face! De Luca follows up with mudhole stomps to the chest. She then reaches down, pulls Karma back up in the corner and climbs up onto the middle ropes. De Luca places Karma in a front facelock before planting him with another Tornado DDT! While Karma is sprawled out on the mat, De Luca rolls out onto the apron. She then pulls herself up using the ropes before gingerly climbing up onto the top turnbuckle.
Geoff Penzer: This is some questionable strategy on the part of De Luca. Her left leg is already hurt. A hard fall to the outside could further injure her leg. Plus, who knows how well she can push off with that leg to execute a dive.
Once Karma gets back to his feet and turns around, De Luca stands up from a crouching position, jumps off and brings Karma down with a diving double knee drop! After rolling off of Karma, De Luca holds her left leg before crawling back over and making the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
T-NO!
Karma gets his shoulder up.
Geoff Penzer: De Luca connects with the diving doubles knees! But it only gets a count of two!
De Luca pulls Karma up onto a knee and nails him with repeated shoot kicks to the midsection. She then blasts him with a buzzsaw kick before following up with an axe kick to the head. While Karma remains dazed, De Luca spikes him with a basement hurricanrana! She makes the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
TH-NO!
The crowd cheers when Karma gets his shoulder up.
De Luca brings Karma back to his feet and whips him into the ropes. When Karma returns, De Luca goes for a leaping guillotine choke. But Karma catches her in mid air, turns and throws her down hard with a spinebuster! The back of De Luca’s head bounces off the mat before her body goes limp. Karma then rolls across De Luca and hooks the near le for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THR-NO!
The crowd gasps, then cheers when De Luca gets her shoulder up. Alexander can be seen on the outside applauding De Luca’s effort.
Geoff Penzer: Did you see how hard her head bounced off the canvas!? I thought that was it! But De Luca was able to just beat the three count and get her shoulder up.
Karma pulls up De Luca, places her in a front facelock, turns and brings her down with the Bum Trip (shoulder neckbreaker)! While De Luca is down, Karma heads into the ropes. When he returns, he delivers a jumping knee drop. After rolling over and getting back to his feet, Karmar marches over and delivers a stomp to the right leg, right thigh, right wrist, right bicep and the throat. He then follows up with a stomp to the left shoulder, left forearm and then repeated stomps to the left knee before following up with a jumping stomp to the left knee. While De Luca howls in pain, the crowd erupts with boos when the team of Smart Style slowly make their way down the aisle.
Geoff Penzer: What in the world do these two want!? They’re not in the match! They have no business out here! They can gladly scout De Luca from the comfort of their locker room!
Alexander looks around and wonders what the sudden negative reaction is for. When he turns and sees Smart Style approaching the ring, Alexander has a look on his face that says, “Are you fucking kidding me?” Mark Bisley taps Shintaro Majima on the shoulder and points to the ring at De Luca being worked over. A look of genuine concern comes across Bisley’s face. Meanwhile, Majima doesn’t look to be concerned one way or the other with De Luca’s wellbeing.
Geoff Penzer: Is that… is that concern on the face of Mark Bisley? Color me surprised!
Back in the ring, Karma takes De Luca’s left leg and deliver a rolling leg snap. Karma gets back to his feet, lifts up De Luca’s left leg and delivers another rolling leg snap. After De Luca sits up and favors her leg, Karma runs up from behind and delivers a rolling neck snap. He then sits De Luca back up, stands over her and applies an inverted single leg boston crab. De Luca cringes in pain while Karma applies pressure to the leg. The ref gets down and asks De Luca if she wants to give up. When she refuses to quit, Karma pulls back even more on the leg. The camera then cuts back to Bisley. The look of concern of his face slowly disappears and is replaced with a smirk.
Geoff Penzer: That son of a...
Bisley slaps the canvas and taunts De Luca. This does nothing but infuriate the normally even keeled Alexander. The crowd cheers as Chaos Stryke rounds the ringpost and goes to confront Bisley when Majima gets in his way. Words are exchanged between the two before punches are thrown. The crowd explodes with cheers as The Strong Style Savior and Alexander trade blows at ringside!
Geoff Penzer: Majima and Alexander are going at it!
Back in the ring, Karma continues to yank at the leg. De Luca is writhing in agony. But she doesn't give up. So Karma reluctantly breaks the hold. He then picks up De Luca and whips her into the ropes. When De Luca comes back, Karma throws out Check Your Chiclets. But De Luca ducks, leaps through the ropes and takes out Bisley with a suicide dive to the outside! The crowd cheers as De Luca mounts on top of Bisley and hammers away with a barrage of forearms!
Geoff Penzer: De Luca’s going to town on Bisley!
While De Luca continues to go to town on Bisley, Karma marches into the corner and scales to the top turnbuckle. Once De Luca gets off of Bisley and turns back towards the ring, Karma leaps off and knocks her down with a diving double ax handle smash!
Geoff Penzer: Karma just wiped out De Luca on the floor!
Karma picks up De Luca and rolls her back inside. After rolling back in, he picks up De Luca and brings her towards the center of the ring. He then lifts up De Luca and delivers a shinbreaker before bringing her down with a dragon screw leg whip. While still maintaining a hold of the left leg, Karma turns and places De Luca in a figure four leglock!
Geoff Penzer: Karma’s got her trapped in the center of the ring!
Karma grabs onto the leg and repeatedly falls back, applying more pressure to the hold. The ref asks De Luca if she wants to give up. She shakes her head from side to side and refuses to quit. But she’s helpless in the center of the ring.
The capacity crowd here in Green Bay begins to rally behind the Tag Champion. De Luca tries to turn to her left. But Karma cuts her off by turning to his right. She then motions to her right. But again, Karma cuts her off by turning to his left. De Luca writhes in pain while the ref continues to check in. The ref asks her if she wants to give up. De Luca refuses. She refuses another chance to quit. De Luca refuses another chance… and another… and another. Ultimately the pain becomes too much to bear and nods her head vociferously. The ref calls for the bell!
The crowd explodes with cheers as “When The Levee Breaks” blasts over the PA
Melanie Sierra: Here is your winner, JOHNNY KARMA!
Karma releases the hold. He turns over onto his knee as he looks over at De Luca, who is clutching her left leg. Karma’s face slowly softens as a look of slight concern comes over his head. The ref goes over and raises Karma’s arm. But Karma quickly pulls it away. Alexander heads back into the ring. He then exchanges looks with Karma before kneeling down and attending to De Luca.
The camera then switches to somewhere backstage. The previous scene is playing out on a monitor. As the camera zooms out, it’s revealed that Evan Envi was watching the entire time. Suddenly, a pair of footsteps can be heard getting closer to the camera. NEON slowly walks up next to The Chief. Envi glances in her direction before turning back to the monitor. He doesn’t look happy, sad, frustrated, disappointed or elated. A blank expression remains on the face of The Chief….
Geoff Penzer: Johnny Karma is back and he looks to be even more P.O.’d than he was when he left! And rightfully so! What in the hell is wrong with Neon!? What role did The Chief have in all of this!?
Once Karma stomps his way up the steps and enters through the ropes, Envi enters the ring from the other side. Karma looks down as he paces back and forth.
