FGA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
(c) Pendragon vs. Hellcat Spangled Death Squad
The lights dim until the arena falls black. There’s an ominous hammerfall as "Destroy 2000 Years of Culture" by Atari Teenage Riot hits the ground running.
♫
IT'S A DEAD WORLD AND IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME TO CLEAR THINGS HERE!
ONE GENERATION FOLLOWS ANOTHER
BUT SOMETHING IN MY HEAD SAYS KEEP GOING
DON'T GIVE UP
♫
Lisa and Ana, a pair of Hellcats burst from the curtain amidst a swirling mass of red and purple spotlights. Ana steps forward, throwing up her weird, surfer dude hand gimmick. Lisa hangs back and leaves her to it. Ana chucks her mouthguard in and marches her way to the ring. Lisa saunters after.

J.A. Aldridge: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, scheduled for ONE fall, is for the FGA World Team Championship! Introducing first, the challengers! Making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of 258 pounds! They are the team of Anastasia Hayden and Lisa Seldon… THE HELLCAT SPANGLED DEATH SQUAD!!!
Ana hops up onto the apron and throws another hand up to the crowd. She then steps through the ropes and gives up the floor. Lisa jumps to the apron in a single stride, leans back to shoot a wink down the camera barrel and then goes up and over the ropes into the ring. Ana has already taken her perch on the top buckle, arms folded, chewing her mouthguard idly. Lisa steps in front of her and leans back into the corner.
Kris Cruise: Ana Hayden and Lisa Seldon have waited months for this opportunity, Stephy. They won last year’s Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament, defeating the Canadian Chainsaw Massacre, Best for Business, Big Coffin Hunters and Carina Eventide & Laurel Anne Hardy along the way. The Hellcat Spangled Death Squad were already widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best team, in all of wrestling entering DDT3. The tournament win was just another feather in their cap. Tonight, they can further cement their place as one of the greats in the game with a World Tag Team Title win here on FGA soil.
Stephy Auger: This is a match that Pendragon wanted. But I have to question their thought process, given the number of matches that both of them may have to endure later on tonight. But even putting the Wildcard Lottery to the side, the Hellcats may just be too much for Lowri Moss and Neal Durden to handle. In fact, I’m going on record as so say that I think they will be. The harder they have to push to defeat the Hellcats, the less stamina they’ll have for later on tonight.
The lights flicker as "Take A Chance" by CFO$ begins to play over the PA system, and out through the curtains walks Neal Durden, followed closely by Lowri Moss, each of them with their titles wrapped around their waists. The Welsh duo stand side by side on the stage for a moment, surveying the crowd, before they make their way towards the ring, with Neal leading the way.
J.A. Aldridge: Their opponents! Making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of 320 pounds! They are the reigning… defending.. FGA World Tag Team Champions! They are the team of Lowri Moss and Neal Durden… PENDRAGON!
After climbing the steps and entering the ring, Lowri heads for one of the corners, climbs to the second rope, and takes the title from around her waist and holds it aloft as she looks out at the cheering fans, while Neal simply stands in the middle of the ring with his pinky finger up and a smirk on his face.
Kris Cruise: You say that you question Pendragon wanting the Hellcats to choose them. Well I would disagree. Knowing Pendragon as well I know them, the two of them would never run from a challenge. The two of them can put whatever is happening later to the side to deal with the Hellcats first and foremost. We’re talking about a team that defeated The Chaotics not once, but twice. The same Chaotics team that, despite how badly things ended between them both, are regarded as the best team in this company’s history. Pendragon not only want to take that mantle, but they also want to prove themselves as the best team in all of wrestling! Who better to do that against than Lisa Seldon and Ana Hayden. These are two great individual wrestlers in their own right. Together, you could argue that they’re even greater.
Stephy Auger: Let me remind you that the Hellcats defeated SSWA’s greatest trio, the 2018 DDT3 runners up, a former DDT3 winner and FGA Tag champ in Dexter Jacobs and a DDT3 veteran and two-time FGA Tag champ in Laurel Hardy. These weren't a bunch of pushovers that the Hellcats went through.
Kris Cruise: Some people would say otherwise given the Hellcat Spangled Death Squad’s attitude in the lead up to some of those matches.
Stephy Auger: Oh boo hoo. So what if they were a little arrogant? Big deal! Fujiko Mine is as arrogant as they come and you all fawn over her. This is the thing. When the bell was rung, the Hellcats treated their opponents like the threats that they were and they beat them! That is the buzzsaw that Pendragon are willingly walking into tonight and Cruise, I don’t think that they survive!
The bell sounds as Lisa Seldon steps out to the apron. Anastasia Hayden looks to start things off for the Hellcats while Pendragon high five each other before Neal Durden exits to the apron. Moss and Hayden then begin to walk out of their respective corners before circling the ring. The two grapplers size each other up before meeting in the center of the ring with a collar-and-elbow. After jockeying for position, Moss gains the advantage with a side headlock. Hayden quickly tries to push Moss off of her, but Moss keeps the side headlock on. Moss continues to wrench down on the hold before performing a standing switch and transitioning into a hammerlock. The reigning Pride Champion keeps the submission applied until Hayden quickly breaks it up with a back elbow to the face. She then turns to face Moss before delivering an arm wrench. Another arm wrench is delivered before Moss rolls forward, leans back, kips up and reverses into an arm wrench of her own. Moss delivers a second arm wrench before Hayden runs over towards the ropes and brings her down with a springboard arm drag. Hayden rushes over to attack Moss when Moss throws her down with a japanese arm drag. A second japanese arm drag returns Hayden to the mat. Moss rushes over before bringing Hayden back down to the canvas with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. She then turns and hits the far ropes as Hayden gets back to her feet. After Moss returns, she slows down when she sees Hayden running past her into the same set of ropes. When Moss stops and turns around, she winds up on the receiving end of a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Moss returns to her feet, only to get returned to the mat with a high angle dropkick. Hayden knocks Moss back down to the mat with a hook kick that nearly knocks the double champ’s head off. She then throws out an enzuigiri, but Moss ducks the kick before catching Hayden as she tries to get back up with a Switchblade Kick across the back of the head. She then pushes Hayden over before making the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

Hayden kicks out.
Kris Cruise: Moss got the better of that exchange there, but it’s only early.
Moss delivers another arm wrench for good measure before dragging her into the corner. Once Neal Durden gets tagged back in, he slingshots himself into the ring before taking control of the arm with a pair of arm wrenches. Hayden nearly finds herself on the receiving end of a third arm wrench when she rolls forward, spins over onto her knees, flips over with a handstand, spins in place, transitions behind Durden into a hammerlock before sending him staggering forward with a European Uppercut to the back of the head. While Durden tries to shake out the blow, Hayden turns and hits the far ropes. When Durden turns around, he gets brought down with a pop-up hurricanrana. As Durden turns over to a knee before trying to get back to his feet, Hayden darts over towards him. The crowd gasps as she throws out Human Target Practice (Sliding Forearm)! But Durden is able to roll out of the way. Durden then beats Hayden back to a vertical base before lifting her up onto his shoulders. He motions for an Airplane Spin when Hayden counters with multiple elbows to the side of the head. After slipping down from behind, she hooks both of Durden’s arms and goes for a Tiger Suplex when he reverses into a wheelbarrow victory roll.
ONE!

TWO!

Hayden kicks out.
Kris Cruise: Quick reversal there by Durden gets two...
After both grapplers scramble back to a vertical base, Hayden knocks back a rushing Durden with a hook kick before rushing over and tagging Seldon in. Seldon wastes no time as she knocks Durden down with a springboard dropkick! She goes for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Durden kicks out.
Kris Cruise: Seldon quickly got tagged in and got a nearly seconds later.
Stephy Auger: Not a second has been wasted for the Hellcats. They’re coming into this match hungry, Cruise. A lot of wrestlers in their position? They’ll rest on their laurels. But not these two. They’re as just as hungry for those titles as a team that’s never held gold before.
Durden reverses an irish whip, sending Seldon into the ropes. When she returns, she goes to knock Durden down with a yakuza kick. But Durden catches her foot in time. He then swings her leg away from him before taking control of her back. Durden goes to follow up with a ripcord knee strike when Seldon swats down the knee before following up with a step-up enzuigiri. While Durden staggers towards the side of the ring, Seldon turns and hits the far ropes. She comes back and motions for an attack when Durden quickly turns and delivers a low dropkick, sending Seldon collapsing onto the middle ropes. Seeing Seldon’s position, Durden takes off into the far ropes. He comes back and swings through the ropes for a Tiger Feint Kick when Seldon catches his legs!
Kris Cruise: Uh oh...
Durden tries to kick himself free. But Seldon keeps control of his legs. She hooks her arms around before legs before leaning back. The crowd gasps as Durden flies throat-first into the top rope with a catapult! Durden lays clutching his throat before Seldon goes for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Durden kicks out.
Kris Cruise: Durden avoided the three count there, but that had to have taken something out if it.
Stephy Auger: I imagine it can’t feel good hitting the ropes throat-first.
Durden continues to favor his throat while Seldon heads into the Hellcats corner. He gets slammed face-first into the top turnbuckle before Hayden is tagged back in. The Hellcat Spangled Death Squad pull Durden back towards the center of the ring before he gets taken down with Kicky Kicky Kick Kick (Ana goes off on their opponent with a series of Kawada Kicks, the last one standing them up right. Lisa then finishes the sequence with a Spinning Heel Kick that knocks them flat)! Hayden goes for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!

.
Durden kicks out.
Hayden picks up Durden, delivers an irish whip and follows him into the corner before hitting a lariat right across the neck. While Durden remains in the corner, Hayden rushes back over into the adjacent corner and tags in Seldon. Seldon quickly hops in through the ropes, charges into the corner and executes a yakuza kick! She then takes Durden and goes for an irish whip. But Durden reverses. He closely follows Seldon across the ring. Instead of crashing into the corner, Seldon executes a Tiger Wall Flip over Durden. When Durden turns around, Seldon rushes back in before sending him flying out of the corner with a monkey flip. While Durden is trying to get back to his feet, Seldon hops back to the apron through the ropes before scaling the turnbuckles. As soon as she reaches the top, she leaps off… and knocks down Durden with a flying crossbody!
… before he rolls through it and pulls Seldon up while he gets back to his feet!
Kris Cruise: Look at this strength from Neal?
Stephy Auger: Not bad for a guy who’s just skin and bones. Let’s see what he does with this.
The crowd gasps at the feat as he then hoists Seldon up across his shoulders. The Vancouver crowd buzzes as Durden’s got her up for Nirvana’s Fall (fireman’s carry dropped into an overhead kick)! Durden’s about to deliver his finisher when Hayden rushes in and knocks him and Seldon down with a lariat!
Stephy Auger: Hayden makes the save!
Kris Cruise: But here comes Lowri!
Moss rushes in and doubles Hayden over with a boot to the midsection before following up with a European Uppercut. Hayden delivers a European Uppercut before Moss answers back wit another European Uppercut of her own! Seldon and Durden return to a vertical base before trading blows. The two continue to exchange punches until Seldon grabs him before biting his face! Seldon moves Durden across the ring and into the ropes while she continues the bite attack. She then climbs up onto the middle ropes over him while she gnaws away at his forehead! Back near the center of the ring, Moss and Hayden continue to trade shots when Hayden gains the advantage with open palm strikes! Hayden continues to knock Moss back with the open palm strikes until Moss is pressed up against the ropes next to Durden. Moss tries to cover up, but most of Hayden’s strikes penetrate her defense! Seldon hops down to the mat before the Hellcats take off into the far ropes. When they come back, Pendragon rush towards the center of the ring and cut them off with back elbows to the face! While the Hellcats are dazed, Pendragon turn and head towards the far ropes. But unbeknownst to them, the Hellcats are right behind them! As soon as Pendragon hit the ropes, they get caught with a koppu kick and a running European Uppercut from Seldon and Hayden! While Pendragon are dazed, the Hellcats take off into the far ropes. Seldon and Hayden pick up speed as they look to knock Pendragon to the floor. The crowd buzzes with anticipation when Pendragon duck and dump the Hellcats over the top rope. Instead of crashing to the floor, the Hellcats are able to land on the apron. Before the challengers can fully regroup, Pendragon run towards opposite corners corner. The crowd cheers when Moss knocks Hayden off the apron with a Slice of Heaven (Springboard enzuigiri) while Durden sends Seldon to the floor with a springboard roundhouse kick!
Kris Cruise: Pendragon have just cleared the ring of the Hellcats! Listen to this crowd, Stephy!
Stephy Auger: yeah, they sound pretty partisan to me!
"PENDRAGON!"
"PENDRAGON!"
"PENDRAGON!"
"PENDRAGON!"
Pendragon circle the ring while waving her arms up and down to hype up the crowd even more! Durden then takes a peek to the outside. When he spots the Hellcats starting to pick themselves up on the floor, he begins bouncing on the balls of his feet before taking off towards the far ropes.
Kris Cruise: What’s Durden gearing up for?
Durden bounces off the ropes and picks up speed before hurling himself over the top rope. He flips off the top rope with a somersault plancha that takes out the Hellcats to an explosion of cheers! Durden high fives a few lucky fans in the front row before rolling Seldon back into the ring. He then slides back in for the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

Seldon gets her shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: After trading blows with the Hellcats early on, Pendragon look to be in control here.
Stephy Auger: Key words are “look to be,” Cruise. It’s still early. You think that the Hellcat Spangled Death Squad haven’t looked worse off than this before, only to come back to win?
Kris Cruise: Believe me, I’m not counting them out. I’m just calling it like I see it and right now, Pendragon are in control.
Durden takes Seldon and sets her up for a standing Shiranui when she shoves him off towards the ropes. Instead of bouncing back towards Seldon, Durden uses the momentum to bring Hayden back down on the outside with a slingshot hurricanrana! Seldon sees this unfold in front of her, so she makes a beeline towards the corner. She starts to climb the turnbuckles in preparation for a dive to the outside. But Durden hops back onto the apron, runs over and stops her with a rope-assisted gamengiri to the face! After climbing up onto the middle turnbuckle, he palms Seldon’s face before shoving her down to the canvas. As Seldon gets back to her feet, Durden jumps up off the middle turnbuckle, turns and lands facing away from the ring on the top turnbuckle before flipping off and knocking Seldon down with a corkscrew moonsault! Durden’s met with cheers and applause from the crowd while he goes for the cover.

Moss takes control of Seldon’s back and goes for a German Suplex when Seldon counters with a back elbow to the face. She then performs a standing switch and tries for a German of her own. But Moss is able to return the favor with a back elbow. She then performs a standing switch before taking control of Seldon’s back. Moss sets up for another German when Seldon cuts her off with multiple back elbows to the face. Once she’s free, Seldon motions towards the ropes. But Moss is quickly able to grab a hold of her before pulling her down with an Inverted DDT! She makes the cover.

Seldon gets a shoulder up.
Moss pulls Seldon back up and knocks her back with a headbutt before moving her into the corner. From there, Moss goes to town on Seldon with the Scarlet Barrage (Alternating rapid-fire knife edge chops and forearms to a cornered opponent)! Moss continues to unload with strikes before taking off into the far ropes. The double champion bounces off the ropes and picks up speed as she rushes back across the ring before blasting Seldon with Just for Kicks (Running big boot to a cornered opponent followed by a running Facewash)! She then drags Seldon from out of the corner before going for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
T-NO!
Seldon gets her shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: Close call there for the Hellcats. Seldon may want to think about trying to tag out.
Stephy Auger: You think? No, she’s just laying there and letting Pendragon go to work on her!
Seldon is pulled back to her feet and gets caught with a hard European Uppercut before being whipped into the corner. Moss rushes in to attack when Seldon knocks her back with a back elbow to the face.
Stephy Auger: There we go.
Kris Cruise: That’s one way to stop an attack.
Moss shakes off the blow before rushing back in to attack. This time, she gets turned around by a boot to the face.
Kris Cruise: Seldon with another block. She may have just found her opening here...
Moss staggers away from the corner while she clutches her jaw. After shaking out the cobwebs, Moss turns around and sees Seldon lunges towards her. Moss screams out in pain as Seldon clips the front of her knee, sending the dual champion flipping down to the mat! There's an audible gasp from the crowd when Moss goes down.
Kris Cruise: This doesn’t look good, Stephy!
Stephy Auger: Good for Moss and her little boyfriend? Nope. But this is great news for the Hellcat Spangled Death Squad!
Durden yells out for Moss while his tag team partner lays on the mat. Moss curls up and clutches her right knee while she writhes with pain on the canvas.
Kris Cruise: She’s hurt, Stephy!
Stephy Auger: Yes she is and this isn’t just great news for the Hellcats. I know that Seth Iser is somewhere in the back smiling.
Kris Cruise: You think he’s happy about possibly facing Lowri at less than 100%
Stephy Auger: Even if her knee didn’t get clipped, she wouldn’t be going into her match later at 100%. No one told her to try and go after singles gold while also being a tag champion. That was her being greedy!
While Moss is down, Seldon begins to crawl towards the Hellcats corner. Moments later, Hayden is tagged back in. Hayden wastes no time, rushing over and putting the boots to Moss’s knee! Hayden shows no remorse as hard stomp after hard stomp is delivered on top of the knee. Moss tries to defend herself by turning away from Hayden, but Hayden turns her right back over before delivering more stomps and kicks to the knee! There’s a few scattered pockets of boos coming from the crowd at Hayden’s lack of empathy. Hayden looks over and sees Durden scolding her from the apron. So she responds by ripping off Moss’ right kneepad and tossing it to the outside before delivering a jumping stomp to the knee!
Stephy Auger: NOW WE’RE TALKING!
Kris Cruise: Was that even necessary?
Stephy Auger: I’m sorry, Cruise, but I thought that this was a contact sport these four were participating in! This match is for the FGA World Tag Team Titles, one of the most sought after set of tag titles in wrestling. Ana can rip Lowri’s leg off for all I care.
Hayden sees Moss sitting up while she clutches her knees. So she rushes up towards the double champion before delivering multiple seated back kicks. She then pulls Moss from off the mat before delivering a shin breaker! As Moss hobbles on one leg, Hayden takes a few steps back before rushing forward to deliver a chop block! Moss howls in pain as she crumbles to the mat. Instead of going for the cover, Hayden reaches down, grabs Moss by the hair and pulls her up to her knees before spiking her with a headscissors driver! She then turns Moss over and pulls her up to a seated position before hitting the ropes. Hayden bounces off the ropes, comes back and flattens Moss with Human Target Practice! She opts out of going for the cover as she pulls Moss back up to a seated position before rushing back into the ropes. She charges back over towards Moss before flattening her with another Human Target Practice! But Hayden isn’t done! Ana pulls Moss by the hair up to a seated position before hitting the ropes. Hayden comes back and runs past Moss before hitting the far ropes. She then bounces off the ropes before clobbering Moss with a third Human Target Practice! She goes for the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

Durden runs over and kicks Hayden in the side of the head to break up the pin.
Stephy Auger: He couldn’t get drag Ana off of Lowri to break up the pin? He can to kick her in the side of the head?
Kris Cruise: … “contact sport,” right, Stephy?
Stephy Auger: ...
While a frustrated Durden returns to the apron, Hayden heads over and tags Seldon back in. She looks over and sees Moss struggling to push herself up on all fours. So she leaps off the top turnbuckle, soars halfway across the ring and flattens Moss with a springboard leg drop across the beck of the neck! She pulls Moss over and makes the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

Moss gets her shoulder up.
Seldon takes Moss by the hair and starts to slowly pull her up off the mat when Moss hits her with a right hand to the midsection. Moss comes back with another right hand to the midsection, then a left. The crowd starts to cheer louder as Moss hits Seldon with wild rights and lefts. Moss continues her comeback until Seldon cuts her off with a knee to the midsection. She then takes control of Moss’ neck before nailing her with sharp Muay-Thai Clinch Strikes. As Moss is dazed, Seldon hooks her right leg, lifts her up and then throws her down hard with a Fisherman Driver!
ONE!

TWO!

Kris Cruise: Another close call for Moss, but she gets the shoulder up in time!
Stephy Auger: How many more times can she be dropped on the back of her neck before the Hellcats win?
Once Moss is pulled back to her feet, Hayden holds her down while hitting her with repeated short kicks to the face. Hayden continues the attack until Moss catches her foot. Hayden proceeds to hop on one foot until an enzuigiri sends Moss flipping down to the mat. She then follows up with a standing double foot stomp across the knee! After a snap suplex returns Moss to the canvas, Hayden drags her into position before exiting out to the apron. The crowd murmurs while she starts to scale the turnbuckles. Once Hayden makes her way to the top, she leaps off with Romanov Grace (Diving Double Foot Stomp)... and misses when Moss rolls out of the way. Hayden’s momentum sends her rolling down to the mat before she rolls back up, darts across the ring and drives Moss back down with a leg lariat! She then makes the tag out to Seldon.
The Hellcats bring Moss back towards the center of the ring before whipping her hard into the corner. The top turnbuckle rattles as Moss crashes sternum-first into it. As Moss stumbles back, Seldon hits the far ropes, comes back and hurls herself towards Moss as the Hellcat Spangled Death Squad deliver Ginger Snaps (Lisa strikes her opponent with a Shotgun Double Knee Strike (Horror Pop) and knocks them back to Ana who hits them with a Snap German Suplex)! Seldon nudges the folded up Moss with her foot over onto her back before making the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
TH-NO!
The crowd cheers when Moss gets a shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: How did she survive that?
Stephy Auger: I’d like to know that, too!
Seldon picks Moss up off the mat before lifting her up across her shoulders. She’s got Moss set up for a Death Valley Driver when Moss hits her with an elbow to the side of the head. Another elbow connects. Then another. Moss starts to fight off the death Valley Driver with a flurry of elbows to the face! Seldon tries to fight through the elbows and dump Moss on her head. But Moss continues to keep firing away out of desperation with the elbows! The elbows start to cause Seldon to stumble backwards towards the ropes. Moss is then able to slip off of Seldon’s shoulders and down onto the apron. Seldon is quick to turn around and meet Moss on the apron. She socks Moss with a punch to the face. Moss comes back with a European Uppercut. Seldon catches Moss with another punch to the face. Moss answers back with another European Uppercut. Moss is then able to duck a third punch from Seldon before counting with another European Uppercut. She then motions for another uppercut when Seldon kicks her in the right knee! She then lifts Moss back up onto her shoulders. The crowd gasps as she’s got Moss set up for a DVD onto the apron. Before Moss gets dropped on her head, she hits Seldon with three more elbows before slipping off her back and falling down into the ring over the ropes. She turns and runs towards the corner. But her knee buckles, causing her to crumbles to the mat.
Stephy Auger: Her knee just went out!
Durden can be seen slapping the top turnbuckle repeatedly before holding his arm out for the tag. He groans while he stretches his arm out as far as he can. He continues to give Moss words of encouragement while Seldon shakes off the elbows on the apron.
Kris Cruise: Moss was well on her way to tagging in Neal! But her leg bucked! He’s trying to will Moss to his corner! Seldon is still feeling the effects of those elbows on the apron! Can Moss get to the Pendragon corner before Seldon gets back into the ring!?
Back inside the ring, Moss continue to pull herself across the apron towards the Pendragon corner. It looks like she can dive over and make the tag to Durden. But not before Seldon flies off the top turnbuckle and crashes across her back with a cannonball leg drop!!! Seldon then takes Moss and tosses her out through the ropes before stepping out to the apron. She grabs Moss, pulls her back to her feet and lifts her up across her shoulders before planting her with a Death Valley Driver on the apron!!!
“OHHH!!!”
The referee rushes to the outside to attention to Moss, who is motionless on the floor. Seldon then moves the ref out of the way before pulling Moss back to her feet. The crowd gasps when she lifts Moss up before planting her with a brainbuster on the floor!
“OHHH!!!”
Kris Cruise: brainbuster on the outside! Did you heard that impact, Stephy!?
Stephy Auger: If the DVD on the apron didn’t do it, then the brainbuster on the floor is the knockout blow!
The crowd murmurs while Seldon rolls Moss back inside before rolling herself back in. She then drags Moss back towards the center of the ring before making the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
THRE-NO!
The crowd gasps, then cheers when Moss gets her shoulder up.
Stephy Auger: What!? WHAT!?
Kris Cruise: Lowri Moss got her shoulder up! There’s still life left in the double champion!
Stephy Auger: I CANNOT believe this!
Seldon takes Moss and lifts her up for a sitout gourdbuster. But Moss counters with a knee on the way up. Once Moss is lowered back down, Seldon tries to catch her with a kick to the knee. But Moss catches her foot, throws her leg down and then brings her down to the mat with a double knee armbreaker! Seldon is seen holding her arm while Moss hugs her right knee.
Kris Cruise: Moss brought Seldon down with a double knee armbreaker!
Stephy Auger: Yeah, but at what cost? Your knee is already busted, so you decide to attack Seldon with a move that uses your knee!? They’re not too bright over in Wales, are they?
Kris Cruise: That’s enough, Stephy.
Moss turns over into the prone position before starting to pull herself over towards the corner. When Durden starts to slap the top turnbuckle, the crowd takes their cue from him and starts to clap in unison in support of Pendragon. They continue to rally behind Moss while she struggles to pull herself closer to the Pendragon corner.
Kris Cruise: Moss is fighting with everything she's got!? Can she make it to the corner and make that much needed tag!?
Stephy Auger: If she’s fighting with everything’s she’s got right now, what will she have left for Seth Iser and possibly the Wildcard Lottery finals?
Durden starts to bounce up and down as he sees getting Moss closer and closer. He once again stretches his arm out as far as he can. Before Moss can dive over for the tag, Seldon grabs her by the ankle, drags her back towards the center of the ring and applies a kneebar.
Stephy Auger: Lisa Seldon with the dagger! It’s all over, Cruise!
Moss howls in pain while Seldon cinches in the hold. The referee is quick to ask Moss is she wants to give up. Moss refuses. She continues to shake her head ‘no’ whenever the referee questions her. But the longer the kneebar stays on, the harder it is for her to hang on. Durden then hops through the ropes and rushes over to make the save. Out of nowhere, Hayden leaps over Seldon & Moss and catches Durden in a hanging guillotine choke!
Stephy Auger: Now Durden is caught in a submission!
Kris Cruise: This isn’t good for Pendragon! This. Is. Not. Good.
Durden tries to fight it off. But Hayden cinches down on the hold. The crowd buzzes with anticipation while both members of Pendragon are trapped.
Stephy Auger: It’s over, Cruise! Look at em. LOOK AT EM! Durden is about to be choked out! Moss is about to tap out or pass out! WE’RE GONNA HAVE NEW TAG CHAMPIONS!
Moss reaches out towards Durden. Durden does the same. But eventually, Durden’s arm falls limp before he slowly leans forward, which causes the crowd to let out a defeated sigh. Hayden keeps the hanging guillotine applied while Durden is nearly doubled over.
Stephy Auger: He’s OUT! HE’S OUT!
Moss cries out in pain as Seldon fights for the submission. The referee questions her once more if she wants to give up. Moss again shakes her head ‘no.’ But this time, she’s doing so as she slowly raises her hand up off the mat. Moss’ hand shakes while she’s got it held in the air. Seldon can sense the submission is seconds away. Before Moss’ hand can hit the mat, Durden grabs Hayden as he stands up lunges down and drives her down into Seldon, breaking both submissions!!! Pendragon and the Hellcats are both met with cheers are applause from the crowd as they on the mat.
Durden slowly rolls out towards the apron while Hayden crawls back over towards the Hellcats corner. She climbs out between the bottom & middle ropes before pulling herself up using the top rope. She reaches her head out as Seldon turns over and starts to drag herself towards the Hellcats corner. After being tagged back in, Hayden marches back over towards Moss before delivering multiple stomps across the back. She follows up with a standing double foot stomp across the back. Then a second double foot stomp. Then a third for good measure! She then reaches down, grabs Moss by the hair and slowly peels her up off the mat. Hayden hops up onto Moss’ shoulders for the Black Star (Reverse Frankensteiner) when Moss pushes her off. After landing down in front of Moss, Hayden turns around and whacks her with an open hand palm strike! Moss’ head flies back after getting hit with another open palm strike. Hayden hits her with four more open palm strikes before taking a few steps back. She rushes forward and throws out a lariat when Moss ducks, swings around onto her back and then counters with a Crucifix Driver to cheers from the crowd!
Kris Cruise: Hayden got dumped right on the back of her neck!
Moss lets go and turns over into the prone position. Hayden grabs the back of her neck with both hands while Moss starts to drag herself towards the Pendragon corner. Durden can be seen waving Moss over towards him while she continues to scratch and claw her way across the canvas. Moss lets out a labored groan each time she drags herself across the mat. She then gauges the distance between herself and Durden before dives towards the corner. The crowd gasps…
… then explodes with cheers once the hot tag had been made!
Kris Cruise: THE TAG IS MADE! DURDEN IS BACK IN!
Durden springboards to the top turnbuckle, leaps off and knocks Hayden down with a diving knee strike! He then heads towards the ropes, rebounds back and knocks Hayden down with a handspring back elbow! As Hayden turns over onto a knee, Durden runs over and flattens her with a Shining Wizard! He makes the cover.

Hayden gets a shoulder up.
Hayden reverses an irish whip, sending Durden into the ropes. When he returns, Hayden tries to catch him with a knee to the midsection. But Durden flips over the knee and counters with a schoolboy transitioned into a powerbomb, garnering cheers from the crowd! Seldon then rushes in to attack, but Durden doubles her over with a spinning back kick to the midsection before throwing her down with a leg trap sunset flip powerbomb!
Kris Cruise: Durden’s hitting everything that moves!
Durden turns his attention back to Hayden. He starts to stalk her and wave her up as she slowly tries to get back to her feet. As Hayden turns around, Durden runs over before throwing her down with a Sling Blade! He then runs back across the ring before bringing Seldon down with a Sling Blade! Durden heads back over towards Hayden, pulls her up and goes for an Olympic Slam when Hayden slips down from behind, hooks both of Durden’s arms and throws him down with a bridging Dragon Suplex!

Durden kicks out!
Hayden takes Durden and whips into the far corner. She then rushes in and throws out a running yakuza kick when Durden slips out of the way. After hitting Hayden with multiple clubbing strikes across the back, Durden pulls her from out of the corner. He continues to keep control of Hayden’s back before going for a ripcord knee strike. Hayden cuts off the knee strike with The Magnolia Knee (Bicycle Knee)! Hayden turns to head back into the ropes. But she notices that Durden, despite being dazed, still has a grip on her wrist. So she cracks him under the chin with another Magnolia Knee! After Durden drops down to a knee, Hayden hits him with a Switchblade Kick across the back of the head! She then pulls Durden back to his feet before spiking him with the Black Star! Hayden is seen waving Seldon back into the ring. Seldon then heads over and pulls Durden back to his feet while Hayden heads into the ropes. When Hayden comes back…
*THWACK!*

Kris Cruise: NO!
Moss dives over and breaks up the pin at the very last second!
Seldon rushes back over, grabs Moss and chucks her through the ropes and to the floor. On the outside, Moss starts to pick herself up. Back inside, Seldon is seen scaling the turnbuckles. Seldon reaches the top, flips off for a Spaceman Plancha, and..
*THUD!*
Moss rolls back into the ring at the last second, causing Seldon to crash hard on the floor!
Kris Cruise: Seldon missed and missed badly!
Across the ring, Hayden steps out to the apron before climbing the turnbuckles. As she gets one foot on the top turnbuckles, Durden scrambles into the corner, runs up the turnbuckles and brings her down with an avalanche hurricanrana!
Durden steps out to the apron before climbing the the turnbuckles. He crouches down while he waits for Hayden to get back to her feet. As soon as she does, he leaps off for another diving knee strike! This time, he misses when Hayden rolls underneath it! Hayden rolls back to her feet and turns around. She motions towards Durden when Moss blindsides her with an STO!
Kris Cruise: Moss just came out of nowhere and caught Hayden with the STO!
Durden heads back into the corner before hoisting himself up onto the top turnbuckle. While Hayden is still down, Moss slips over towards the corner. After she gingerly climbs up the turnbuckles, she climbs up onto Durden’s shoulders before flipping back, sending him crashing down on top of Hayden with a somersault leg drop! Durden pulls Hayden up to a knee before heading into the corner. He’s ready to help hit Hayden with the Dewin Ddraig gleiniog (Double Shining Wizard)! But Moss is still down in the far corner. So Durden heads across the ring and kneels down next to her. Moss continues to favor her knee. But Durden reassures her that she can do this. He then heads into the far corner to setup while Moss slowly pulls herself up using the ropes. After giving each other a knowing nod, Pendragon motion to run out of their respective corners when Seldon reaches in and wraps her arms around Durden’s leg!
Stephy Auger: Lisa just saved Ana from getting her head bashed in!
Durden steps through the ropes and repeatedly stomps at Seldon until he kicks her off of him. Once he steps back inside the ring, Pendragon rush towards the center of the ring and crush Hayden with Dewin Ddraig gleiniog!!! Durden makes the cover.
Kris Cruise: Hayden is down! Hayden is down! The champ’s are going to retain!

THRE-NO!
The crowd erupts with boos when Erin Mariani slides into the starts attacking both Hayden and Durden with stomps.
Kris Cruise: What the hell!?
On the outside, Seldon pulls herself up and sees Hayden being attacked. She motions to roll back inside when she’s grabbed from behind by Sara Mason. Mason then takes Seldon by the hair, runs and rams her face-first against the ring post!
Kris Cruise: Oh come on! What the hell are Silk & Cyanide doing out here!?
Stephy Auger: Pendragon wanted to talk trash? The Hellcats wanted to disrespect them by overlooking them in favor of Moss and Durden? Well, this is what happens!
Mason picks up Seldon, runs back down ringside and chucks her head-first against the steel steps! The bell repeatedly sounds while Seldon is on the floor.
Kris Cruise: Good God!
Back in the ring, Mariani crouches down in front of Hayden and beckons her to come closer. She then snatches Hayden up in a front facelock before planting her with the Subjugation (Implant DDT)! Hayden is then chucked to the outside, where Mariani drives her down with the Le Dernier Tournant (Paige Turner) on the floor!
Kris Cruise: We need some help out here for these two teams!
Stephy Auger: Why? I thought these were arguably two of the best teams in the world, Cruise! Don’t tell me that they need help.
Kris Cruise: Yeah, they do need help because they’re being attacked after going to war with each other! This is uncalled for, Stephy, and you know it!
Stephy Auger: Eh...
Mariani marches around the ringside arena before snatching up both World Tag Team Titles belts.
Kris Cruise: No, no, no! Those aren’t their tag titles! They haven’t earned the right to hold those belts!
Stephy Auger: Oh really? How about you go over there and try and stop them.
Kris Cruise: ...
Stephy Auger: That’s what I thought!
Back inside, Mariani places Durden in a grounded front chancery before delivering knees to the head! Moss can be seen crawling over towards Durden. She then drapes herself over him as Mariani gets back inside.
Kris Cruise: Would you cut it out and be serious for just once! Just once! These two teams but on a show! These two teams have it their all in that ring! This was a Dream Match! This is a match that Pendragon wanted! The Hellcat Spangled Death Squad won Dynamic Duos to win this opportunity! Yet this is how it ends. Why? Because Silk & Cyanide are jealous! How much lower can they stoop!
Stephy Auger: Aw, would you look at this! Lowri, who can barely stand, is shielding Neal. How thoughtful.How touching. Doesn’t this just bring a tear to your eye?
The referee continues to admonish Silk & Cyanide. Mason & Mariani look at each other before taking the referee and chucking him through the ropes.
Stephy Auger: They’re going to need more than one official to get Mason & Mariani out of her.
Silk & Cyanide circle Moss before taking turns whacking her across the back with the World Tag team Championship belts!
“BOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Kris Cruise: This isn’t right! This is not right! Lowri Moss is getting whipped like a dog with those tag titles! Those belts weight twenty to thirty pounds! Can we get some help out here, dammit!?
Mason & Mariani continues to assault Moss with belt shots until Moss lays motionless across Durden. Silk & Cyanide look down at the Tag Title belts before tossing them down onto Pendragon.
Stephy Auger: Look who are the real rulers of the tag team division now?
Kris Cruise: Oh yeah, Silk & Cyanide attacking people after a grueling match. Yeah, they’re so cool. They’re real tough. Yeah, Stephy.
Silk & Cyanide reluctantly leave the ring as they’re being accosted by the officials and referees that have just marched down to the ring. Mariani & Mason continued to get yelled out as the official head into the ring to attack to Pendragon and Hayden. Silk & Cyanide start to head up the aisle when they turn around and see Seldon crawling around on the floor. Mason & Mariani turn back to each other before marching back down to the ringside area.
Kris Cruise: Oh no...
Silk & Cyanide put the boots to Seldon before pulling her back to her feet. They then lift Seldon high above their heads before driving Seldon down hard onto the aisle with the Haute Tension (double team inverted crucifix powerbomb)!
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Kris Cruise: That’s enough! These two have done enough damage! Get them the hell out of here!
Stephy Auger: ...
Some of the officials and referees head back to the floor and shield Seldon from further attack. Silk & Cyanide look on at the carnage they just caused. The evil smirks stay on their faces as the US Tag Team Champions head up the aisle and to the back...
