MAIN EVENT
Lowri Moss, Owen Gonsalves, Fujiko Mine
vs.
Cordelia Stevenson, Ace Voltage, Nina Stokes
The lights in the arena dim to a fairly darkened level. A couple of seconds pass before MUCC’s “Sei to Shi to Kimi” begins to play. The base of the entrance becomes fills up with heavy smoke. Nina Stokes makes her way out from the back a few seconds later. She emerges from the smoke after a moment or two. She gives a sly sneer to camera before she makes her way towards to the ring.
J.A. Aldridge: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is your main event of the evening! It is a Six Person Tag Team Match! Introducing team number one! First, hailing from Miami, Florida! She is "The Kodiak" NINA STOKES!
Her pace down to the ring deliberate and leisurely. She tosses a couple of glances towards the crowd, but for the most part, she keeps her eyes fixated on the square circle. Nina flexes her arms a bit as she reaches the end entryway. She cracks her neck and completely circles the ring one time. Afterwards, Nina cracks her knuckles and slides into the ring.
Nina paces around for a moment. Then she removes her jacket and tosses it into the corner. Nina pulls on the ropes and stretches before she lounges in the corner and waits for the start of the match.
The arena goes dark and "Thunderstruck by AC/DC starts blaring over the sound system. As the words "THUNDER" are shouted into the arena each time, the lights flash yellow.
I WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAILROAD TRACK
A white spotlight shines on the ramp and Ace Voltage appears from backstage, once the lyrics start going. He is wearing a black jacket with his name on the back and his light blue tights. He shines a smirk to the crowd, zips open the jacket to show off his torso and the rest of the lights come on, with yellow and blue lighting flashing around. He walks down the ramp, nodding his head to the music, laughing to himself when he hears the boos and insults from the crowd.
J.A. Aldridge: Her partner, hailing from London, England! Weighing in at 15.8 stone! He is the reigning FGA Pride Champion, ACE VOLTAGE!
As he's going down the entrance ramp, he walks close to the guardrail ready to slap the hands of the one or two fans. Before he can slap their hands, he quickly rips his hands away, smirks to the booing fans and walks down to the ring. He jumps up onto the apron and steps into the ring. He walks to the corner, jumping on the second rope, looking out into the crowd. He raises an arm in the air, smirking and smiling to the fans. After a few seconds, he jumps down, takes his jacket off and waits for the match to start.
"And this is what it feels like..."
The lights dim down and take on a purplish hue as a light smoky mist fills the entrance way. The soulful horns in the intro to "What It Feels Like" by Nipsey Hussle and Jay-Z blare over the speakers.
"And this is what it feels like..."
As the beat drops, the shapely silhouette of Cordelia Stevenson forms in the midst of the smoke. After a few seconds she casually breaks through the misty veil, stepping forward onto the walkway and stopping for the perfect photo op.
J.A. Aldridge: Their partner, hailing from Freeport, Long Island! Weighing in at 155 pounds... CORDELIA STEVENSON!
She lowers her head, a satisfied smirk on her face as she proceeds down towards the ring, mouthing off at the crowd and reminding them that she is the New DNA of FGA every chance that she gets. Finally she makes her way up the steps and walks along the apron before stepping through the ropes in an almost teasing fashion. She steps into the ring and walks directly to the center of it, looking out at the crowd with a disapproving gaze once more.
"Baddest do, what the baddest do (hey)"
"The baddest do (hey), we the baddest, ooh"
"Baddest do, what the baddest do (hey)"
"The baddest do (hey), we the baddest"
The heavy electronic beat of "The Baddest" kicks in, and the crowd bursts into cheers, knowing who is about to arrive. The thumping beat quickly spreads through the arena, and the crowd gets into the spectacle of audio. The lights in the arena dim, with pink and purple spotlights swirling around the arena.
"Coming at you live, real, real wild
Here to light it up, set the world on fire
Gonna break rules and hearts in twos
'Cause that's what the baddest do"The secondary lights in the arena bump to the beat, mixing between light & dark.
Never going back, nah, not that
Diamonds on drip 'cause I came to make a splash
Gonna break rules and hearts in twos
'Cause that's what the baddest do (yeah, uh)As the rap begins, The lights near the entrance ramp go black, and a figure stands there in the darkness. As the beat drops again, The lights all focus on the figure, almost washing them out. After a moment, the lights drop back to a ‘non blinding’ level and Fujiko stands there, The Apex Goddess holds her hands up, pressing the backs of their hands against their forehead in a “crown gesture”.
"I'm doing damage, went just how I planned it
I do what I want when I say (when I say, when I say)
모두 날 따라 해, 난 끝내주잖아
To live on the edge of insane"Over her ring attire is a shirt that has her "Apex Goddess" logo on it. Behind her, the imposing XENA enters, her arms folded. The music drops for a second, and then the beat kicks back in as she is announced.
J.A. Aldridge: Their opponents! First, hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Weighing in at 152 pounds! She is the "Apex Goddess"... FUJIKO MINE!
"Coming at you live, real, real wild
Here to light it up, set the world on fire
Gonna break rules and hearts in twos
'Cause that's what the baddest do"Fujiko saunters down the ramp. Fujiko reaches the ringside area, and follows it up with a jump onto the apron. She turns around and looks out at the crowd for a moment. She then jumps up onto the top turnbuckle, repeating her crown pose.
Never going back, nah, not that
Diamonds on drip 'cause I came to make a splash
Gonna break rules and hearts in twos
'Cause that's what the baddest do (its crazy)She jumps down off the turnbuckle and vibes as the bridge comes in.
"Sorry for the bad news, sorry I'm so bad
Only took a minute for me to get what you had
Sorry for the bad news, know it makes you sad
I'll be here for a minute, baby
You should pack your bags"Fujiko grins widely, then pulls the shirt off over her head and tosses it into the crowd. She then leans into the nearest corner before the match begins.
The hard bass of Run The Jewels’ “Blockbuster Night Part I” causes the floor to vibrate as the crowd instantly come to their feet, knowing fully well who is about to make his entrance. All eyes are on the curtain as they wait for his arrival. A white bright light flashes at every beat, and the fans in attendance are slamming anything they can to the beat.
'Bunches and bunches
Punches is thrown until you’re frontless
Oodles and oodles
Bang bullets at suckers' noodles
Last album? Voodoo!
Proved that we was fuckin' brutal
I’m talking crazy, half past the clock is cuckoo'
As soon as the incomparable Killer Mike kicks into his verse, the white flashing light stops and Owen Gonsalves bursts through the curtain with a pace that matches the rhythm of the track. He storms his way to the top of the entranceway and pauses to soak in the electric energy from the crowd, with a smirk on his face as he rolls his wrists while subtly mouthing the words to the song. Once El-P's verse begins, Wristlock Sinatra immediately begins to walk down towards the ring as he has his hands outstretched, his eyes staying focused on the ring he’s about to go to work in.
J.A. Aldridge: Her partner, hailing from Melbourne, Australia! Weighing in at 205 pounds! he is the reigning FGA United States Champion, OWEN GONSALVES!
'Look at these kiddies, Mike
I'm a rat-a-tat 'em for living
I deal in dirty work
Do the deed and then dash
Ditch 'em'
Having made his way to the bottom of the ramp, Owen starts shadow striking to the camera at the bottom of the ramp before feigning a rolling elbow in the camera's direction as El-P says 'ditch 'em' to which the camera reacts accordingly. He paces around the ring, keeping his energy high before plodding up the steps, wiping his feet as soon as he steps on the apron. He moves down the apron and faces the crowd, mouthing a few words to a few of the fans in the front row before he enters the ring. He immediately goes to a corner and begins to warm up and stretch as he awaits the start of the match.
“Loner Boogie” by Boy Azooga plays over the PA system, and once the song's intro finishes, through the curtains - and out onto the stage - walks Lowri Moss, who is greeted by a cheer. Lowri takes a moment to scan the crowd, before making her way towards the ring, and as she does so, she slaps the hands of some of the fans that reach out to her.
J.A. Aldridge: Their partner, hailing from Llanelli, Wales! Weighing in at 142 pounds! She is the reigning FGA Undisputed Champion, LOWRI MOSS!
After arriving at ringside, Lowri climbs the steps up onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes, before heading for one of the corners and climbing to the second rope. There are further cheers and applause for Lowri from the fans, and as she again surveys the crowd, she gestures to them by making the ILY sign with her right hand, in acknowledgement of their reaction to her arrival.
Kris Cruise: Alright, Stephy. This Six Person Tag Team Main Event is about to get underway. This is one of the most anticipated bouts of the year here in FGA. The talent on both sides is off the charts. Everyone in this match, sans Fujiko, has been a champion this year in FGA.
Stephy Auger: Okay, so what the hell is she doing in the match?
Kris Cruise: Well, you see the six people in the ring right now?
Stephy Auger: Yeah?
Kris Cruise: No one has a better win/loss in 2021 than those six right there. Not Izzy, not Seth, not Carmichael, not Sparrow, not Tyler Storm. Those are the six, hence the Top Six of 2021. I know Fujiko's placement in this match has drawn the ire of the likes of Cordy Stevenson and Caroline Dallins. I figured Fujiko's place in this match was pretty obvious. Guess not.
The bell sounds as Stevenson opts to start things off for her team. The crowd explodes with cheers as Fujiko and Gonsalves step out to the apron, leaving Moss to start things off against the former Undisputed Champion.
Stephy Auger: Look at that, Cruise. Owen Gonzales and Fuji Water just hopped right out to the apron and left Moss out to dry.
Kris Cruise: They did not! Moss wants to start this match off against Cordy. She's not afraid of her.
Stephy Auger: Well, she damn sure should be.
Both grappler make their way out of their respective corners before circling the ring. The two eventually come to a stop upon hearing the chants of the crowd.
"Let's go, Lowri!"
"CORDY SUCKS!"
"Let's go, Lowri!"
"CORDY SUCKS!"
"Let's go, Lowri!"
"CORDY SUCKS!"
Stephy Auger: Listen to these people, Cruise. Listen to all the disrespect that they now shout at Cordy. It was all fine when Cordy was out here smiling and playing the game. But once she decided to expose the truth, they all turned their back on her. This woman is the most decorated grappler in FGA's history. Not most decorated female grappler, Cruise. Most decorated, period! Yet this is how they treat he; on the 10th Anniversary, no less. Then again, we are in New Jersey, so I'm not surprised by these pieces of trash in the stands.
Kris Cruise: Stop it, Stephy.
Stephy Auger: No, listen. Just listen. These people aren't happy that Moss is the champion. they're just happy that Cordy lost. Listen to these chants. They're more vocal in their dislike for Cordy than they are in their support for Lowri.
Moss and Stevenson slowly make their way towards the center of the ring. The two stare each other down until Stevenson points behind her. Moss checks over her shoulder and sees that Stevenson is pointing towards Fujiko.
Kris Cruise: Well, how about this? Stevenson doesn't want a piece of Lowri just yet. She wants the Apex Goddess.
Stephy Auger: That's right she does. She wants to run circles around Fujiko again and prove just how much she doesn't belong in a match like this.
Moss turns to the crowd and thumbs over towards Fujiko.
"YES!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
Kris Cruise: The people want it, Stephy.
Stephy Auger: What, they want Fujiko to get shown up by Cordy yet again? Hmm, maybe they're not so bad afterall.
Kris Cruise: ...
Moss wisely backs away from Stevenson without taking her eyes off the former Undisputed Champion. Once she's near her corner, Moss turns around and makes the tag.
Kris Cruise: Here we go.
The crowd explodes with cheers when Fujiko steps back in through the ropes. Stevenson looks the Apex Goddess up and down before scoffing. The two former champions continue to circle the ring before they come to a stop. After sizing each other up, they their way towards the center of the ring and lock up. NO! The crowd boos when Stevenson slams on the brakes and steps back.
Kris Cruise: What's Cordy doing now!?
Stephy Auger: She'll fight when she's god and ready to fight. No one is going to make her fight. Leonard T. Asherman learned that.
Fujiko grows annoyed as Stevenson circles the ring. The Lioness of the Frontier slowly inches her way over towards Fujiko... and raises her arm in the air.
Kris Cruise: Cordy wants a test of strength.
Fujiko reaches up to lock hands with Stevenson... until Stevenson pulls her hand back and steps away.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Fujiko stands with her hands on her hips and just shakes her head while Stevenson chirps at a couple of fans in the front row.
Kris Cruise: Does the woman want to fight or not.
Stephy Auger: Like I said, she'll fight when she's good and ready to.
Stevenson finally turns her attention back to Fujiko. Instead of engaging with Fujiko, she simply points behind the Apex Goddess and back over towards her corner. The crowd cheers when they see Moss being pointed at.
Kris Cruise: Now she wants to fight Lowri? Make up your mind, Cordy!
Stephy Auger: You don't get to tell her what to do. Who are you, Cruise?
Fujiko lets out an annoyed sigh. When Fujiko turns and sees Moss putting her hand out, Fujiko heads over to make the tag. However, the crowd quickly boos when Stevenson runs up from behind and knocks her down with a clothesline.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Kris Cruise: Oh come on! You're better than that!
Stephy Auger: "Better than that" what, Cruise? "Better than that" piece of you-know-what that's laying on the match! You're right. Cordy's 10 times better than that!
Kris Cruise: ...
The boos continue as Stevenson puts the boots to the Apex Goddess. Fujiko tries to fight through the stomps and return to her feet, but Stevenson is right there to send her rolling over with a kick to the ribs. The Apex Goddess remains on all fours until another punt kick to the ribs knocks her over. From there, Stevenson follows up with a snap leg drop across the back of the head. She then wisely pulls Fujiko away from the ropes before making the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Fujiko kicks out.
Stephy Auger: That's right, Cordy. Force Fujiko to use more energy to kick out of the pin.
Stevenson yanks up Fujiko hard by the hair, marches over towards the corner and goes to slam her face-first into the top turnbuckle. Fujiko blocks by getting her foot on the middle turnbuckle.
Kris Cruise: Uh oh.
Stevenson then tries for another slam into the top turnbuckle. Again, Fujiko blocks by getting her foot on the middle turnbuckle. After Stevenson catches an elbow to the ribs, Fujiko grabs her by the hair and slams her afce-first into the top turnbuckle. The cheers continue as Stevenson gets slammed face-first into the top turnbuckle again... and again... and again. Fujiko then turns Stevenson around and lights up her chest with multiple knife edge chops. Stevenson then takes Fujiko, tosses her into the corner and returns the favor with a chop of her own. The boos continue as Stevenson delivers a series of her own knife edge chops. However, the boos turn back to cheers when Fujiko takes Stevenson, tosses her back into the corner and delivers five more chops.
Kris Cruise: Fujiko's getting the better of Cordy.
Stephy Auger: For now!
Fujiko takes Stevenson, delivers an irish whip and follows her across the ring. Instead of crashing into the corner, Stevenson grabs the top ropes with both hands, vaults over her oncoming opponent, turns and rolls forward before taking off into the far ropes. Fujiko runs out of the corner and leapfrogs over the former champion. Stevenson then continues to run the ropes. Without turning around, Fujiko leapfrogs over Stevenson again. Stevenson continues to run the ropes. When Stevenson returns, the crowd cheers when Fujiko knocks her down with a dropsault!
Kris Cruise: What a dropkick from the Apex Goddess!
Stevenson returns to her feet before getting knocked down with a running dropkick. Ace Voltage hops through the ropes and runs over to attack, but he gets knocked off his feet with a dropkick. Fujiko gets back to her feet, turns to Stevenson and returns her to the mat with another dropkick. The cheers continue as the Apex Goddess returns to a vertical base, turns to Voltage and knocks him back down with another dropkick.
Kris Cruise: Fujiko's hitting everything that moves.
Stephy Auger: C'mon, guys! This isn't how this is supposed to go!
Fujiko gets back to her feet, turns and sees Nina Stokes heading her way after stepping in through the ropes. The two grapplers are a few paces apart. They stare each other down. The staredown gives Stevenson just enough time to catch Fujiko from behind with a leaping reverse bulldog!
Stephy Auger: YES!
Kris Cruise: Fujiko was too busy anticipating a strike from Stokes that she completely forgot about Cordy.
The boos continue as Stevenson makes the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Fujiko kicks out.
Stevenson yanks Fujiko up hard by the hair before running into her corner and slamming Fujiko face-first into the top turnbuckle. She then tags in Ace Voltage. The crowd boos as Voltage gets in and hits Fujiko with a series of chops of his own. Ever the fighter, Fujiko battles back. She catches Stevenson with a back elbow to the face before hitting Voltage with a forearm strike. Stevenson then gets caught with another back elbow before Voltage gets knocked back with another forearm strike. Voltage gets caught with another forearm... and another... and anoth-NO! The crowd boos when Voltage stops her with a rake to the eyes. The Pride Champion then turns and hits the ropes. When Voltage returns, Fujiko recovers in time to leapfrog over him. Voltage continues to run the ropes. Without turning around, Fujiko leapfrogs over Voltage. NO! The crowd boos when Voltage slams on the brakes, catches Fujiko from behind on the way down and counters with a bridging German Suplex.
Kris Cruise: What a counter from Ace!
Stephy Auger: Good! That's what Fujiko gets for showing off!
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Fujiko gets the shoulder up.
Voltage keeps the rear waistlock applied. He turns, pulls Fujiko back to her feet and brings her down with a second bridging German Suplex. The boos continue as Voltage keeps hold of Fujiko as he turns over and pulls her back to her feet. Voltage goes for a third German, but Fujiko counters by wrapping her right leg behind his. Voltage goes for another German. Again, Fujiko blocks it. Fujiko then catches him with three back elbows to the face. After the last elbow breaks the hold, she motions towards her corner. The crowd boos when Voltage reaches out, grabs her by the back of the tights and yanks her into a forearm strike to the lower back.
Kris Cruise: Oh come on, Ace!
Stephy Auger: He's doing what he has to do. You can't blame him for that!
Voltage takes control of Fujiko's back again and hits the third German. NO! Fujiko counters with a wheelbarrow victory roll before leaping up and hitting a double foot stomp across the chest.
Kris Cruise: What a counter by Fujiko!
Stephy Auger: Dammit, Ace!
While Voltage curls up on the mat, Fujiko rolls forward, leaps over towards her corner and tags Moss back in.
Kris Cruise: Fujiko makes the tag! Lowri's back in!
Stephy Auger: No, no, no...
The crowd explodes with cheers when the tag gets made. Moss wastes no time scaling the turnbuckles. Once Voltage gets back to his feet and turns around, Moss rises up from the crouched position up top before bringing him down with a diving crossbody!

.
Voltage kicks out.
Moss sends Voltage for the ride again. The Undisputed Champions sets up for a back body drop on the return, but Voltage counters with a kick to the face that knocks her upright. The champ remains dazed while Voltage turns and hits the ropes. When he comes back, he comes to a stop after Moss runs past him. Voltage turn around... and gets caught with a Slice of Heaven (springboard enzuigiri)! She makes the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Voltage gets the shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: Lowri's gotten the better of Ace since she's been back in. You just kow Ace is itching to get back at Lowri after she defeated him a couple of shows back.
Stephy Auger: Shake it off, Ace! You can do this. She's not better than you.
Kris Cruise: Well, I'm pretty sure she has a title that proves just that.
Stephy Auger: Would you shut up already!
Moss takes Voltage, delivers an irish whip, follows him across the ring and catches him with a running European Uppercut. After Voltage gets whipped into the far corner, Moss runs back across the ring and sends him slumping down with a running big boot! The cheers continue as Moss takes off into an adjacent set of ropes. She runs back across the ring to hit a running facewash to complete Just for Kicks, but Voltage slips out to the floor.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Stephy Auger: There you go, Ace! Kill her momentum! Take a breather! You want some water? Come over here and get some water. You look parched!
Kris Cruise: I think that's enough, Stephy.
Voltage shakes his head as waves the match off.
Kris Cruise: Is he throwing in the towel already?
Stephy Auger: He's not throwing in the towel. He's just not getting back in the ring this very second. He's going to take his sweet time. Maybe him, Cordelia and Nina will go over a little strategy.
Voltage continues to argue with some fans in the front row. Voltage then turns back to the ring and does a double take before Moss flips off the top turnbuckle and knocks him down with a moonsault!
Kris Cruise: Ace got caught again!
Stephy Auger: GAH!
"YES!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
Moss takes Voltage and slams him face-first onto the apron before pushing him back inside. Moss rolls back in, rolls Voltage away from the side of the ring and makes the cover.
ONE!

.
Voltage gets the shoulder up.
Moss picks up Voltage and wrenches his arm three times. She then drags him over towards her team's corner and tags Fujiko back in. The crowd cheers when Fujiko gets in, takes control of the arm and delivers multiple arm wrenches of her own. She then reaches over towards Owen Gonsalves. The crowd cheers when Gonsalves tags himself in.
Kris Cruise: Here comes the United States Champion!
Stephy Auger: Oh brother...
Gonsalves scales to the top, leaps off and comes down across the arm with a diving knee drop.
Stephy Auger: That lunatic just tried to snap Ace's arm in two!
Voltage howls in pain as he staggers across the ring before collapsing against the ropes. Gonsalves heads over, grabs Voltage by the back of the tights and pulls him away from the ropes before wrenching the arm three times. After Voltage gets his arm wrenched a fourth time, Voltage rolls forward, leans back and returns to his feet with a kip up... before Gonsalves sends him flipping down to the mat with an arm wringer. Gonsalves is quick to take Voltage's arm and bends it at 90 degrees on the mat before delivering a jumping stomp to the elbow!
Stephy Auger: What is he doing!? What is his problem!?
Kris Cruise: What? He's simply softening up the arm.
Stephy Auger: No, he's trying to break Ace's arm!
Voltage cries out in pain as he rolls towards the side of the ring. Gonsalves heads over, pulls Voltage up and leans him against the ropes before hitting him with multiple shoot kicks to the chest. Voltage is then sent for the ride. When Voltage comes back, Gonsalves brings him down with a drop toe hold, rolls across his back and transitions into the Arm Trap Crossface!
Kris Cruise: Crossface Oblivion Wing!
Stephy Auger: Ace! Quick! Get to the ropes!
Gonsalves pulls back on the hold until Stevenson runs over and breaks up the submission with a stomp to the head. The boos continue as Stevenson hits Gonsalves with a couple of more stomps for good measure before finally heading back to the apron.
Kris Cruise: Come on, ref, you got to get her out of there.
Stephy Auger: That's Cordelia Stevenson you're talking about. She can do whatever the hell she wants.
Kris Cruise: Since when!?
Stephy Auger: This woman has put this promotion on her back for the past two years. I'm pretty sure that gives her the right to do as she pleases.
Kris Cruise: Hmph!
Gonsalves holds the back of his head as he returns to his feet. He looks over and says something to Stevenson. Whatever it is, it draws the ire of Saint Sexy.
Stephy Auger: Did you hear what he just said to her!?
Kris Cruise: I didn't hear anything.
Stephy Auger: Of course not! Of course!
Gonsalves turns his attention back to Voltage and gets caught with a jab. The crowd boos when Voltage pops Gonsalves with another jab. After a forearm strike nails Gonsalves, Voltage whips the United States Champion into the far ropes. Gonsalves returns off the rebound before Voltage drops to a prone position. Gonsalves hops over Voltage and continues to run the ropes. Instead of him coming back, the crowd boos when Stevenson nails Gonsalves with a knee to the back.
Kris Cruise: Cordy with the cheap shot.
Gonsalves favors his back as he leans forward. He then stands back up and goes to take a swipe at Stevenson, but she wisely hops down to the apron. Gonsalves backs away from the ropes, turns around and winds up on the receiving end of a Samoan Drop.
Stephy Auger: That's what happens when you take your eye off the ball, dum-dum!
Gonsalves remains on the mat while Voltage crawls over and tags in Nina Stokes.
Kris Cruise: This doesn't spell good news for Owen.
Stephy Auger: Oooooh, I can't wait for this.
The Kodiak slowly steps into the air. She starts to circle Gonsalves as the US Champion slowly rolls over on all fours. Stokes immediately pounces on Gonsalves' back from the side position. She then flattens him out of the mat before delivering alternating knees to the ribs. In a flash, Stokes sweeps over and takes his back before raining down repeated forearm strikes across the back of the neck. The crowd boos as Gonsalves is forced to cover up.
Stephy Auger: Owen's getting mauled by The Kodiak.
Stokes pulls Gonsalves back to his feet. She doubles him over with a rolling solebutt to the midsection before knocking him upright with a rising knee to the chin. Gonsalves gets doubled over with another rolling solebutt before getting knocked upright with another rising knee to the chin. The boos continue as Gonsalves gets dropped to a knee after a high roundhouse to the head. Stokes then latches onto Gonsalves' wrist before catching him with repeated wristlock face kicks. Gonsalves remains dazed while Stokes turns and hits the ropes. When she comes back, she flattens him with a bicycle knee! The boos continue as she makes the cover.

Gonsalves gets the shoulder up.
Stokes pulls Gonsalves back to his feet, hooks both of his arms and cracks him with a headbutt. She then lets go of his arms and knocks him into the corner with a front push kick before sending him slumping down in the corner with boxing forearm strikes.
Kris Cruise: Gonsalves looks to be in another world after those forearms.
Stokes reaches down, pulls Gonsalves back to his feet and pulls him out of the corner before whipping him into the far ropes. The boos continue when Gonsalves gets knocked off his feet off the rebound with a running roundhouse kick. The Kodiak then takes off into the ropes. When she returns, she crushes Gonsalves with a jumping senton across the chest. The boos continue when Stokes returns to her feet and gives Gonsalves a second jumping senton.

A third forearm strike finds its mark. The Kodiak eats all three forearms before delivering a lariat that knocks Gonsalves back. The thud from the contact echos throughout the arena. She then takes Gonsalves, delivers an irish whip, follows him into the corner and crushes him with running double knees. The boos continue as Stokes delivers another irish whip, follows Gonsalves into the far corner and crushes him again with the running double knees. Gonsalves is then snapmared to the mat before Stokes steps out to the apron.
Kris Cruise: What's Nina going for here?
The Kodiak climbs the turnbuckles. Once she reaches the top, she leaps off and lands hard across Gonsalves' chest with a diving double foot stomp! Stokes rolls over, turns and makes the cover.

Stokes then flies off the top and hits Gonsalves with a top rope splash before Voltage leaps off and lands across him with a flying elbow drop. Stevenson adds a second standing double knee moonsault for good measure being making the cover.

The crowd cheers when both Moss and Fujiko dive over and break up the pin!
Kris Cruise: Lowri and Fujiko make the save!
Moss and Fujiko head back towards their corner until Stokes and Voltage rush across the ring to attack.
Kris Cruise: Look out!
Voltage catches Fujiko with clubbing strikes to the back while Stokes knocks Moss through the ropes to the floor with a lariat to the back of the neck.
Back inside, Voltage takes Fujiko and whips her into the far corner. He charges across the ring and motions for Thunderstruck (Helluva Kick), but Fujiko ducks and dumps him over the top to the floor. Fujiko looks across the ring and locks eyes with Stokes.
Kris Cruise: Here we go, Stephy...
Stokes motions towards Fujiko until Moss yanks her down and drags her to the outside. The Kodiak immediately swats Moss' hands off her before decking her with the Divine Night (Rolling Elbow Smash)!
Kris Cruise: Lowri just got clobbered with that elbow! Good Lord!
Stephy Auger: I bet she doesn't even know what hit her, Cruise.
Stokes stands over Moss until her attention turns to Fujiko. The Apex Goddess motions for a dive, only to kick her foot off the top rope, twirl through the air and land in a superhero pose. The cheers quickly turn to boos when Stevenson knocks Fujiko down from behind with The Friendzone (Flying hip attack to the head of a kneeling opponent)!
Stephy Auger: Once again, that's what she gets for showboating!
Stevenson then takes Fujiko, runs and tosses her through the ropes to the floor. The New DNA of FGA turns and sees Gonsalves slowly picking himself up. She then runs towards Gonsalves before planting him with Head Over Heels (Running Blockbuster DDT)! NO! Gonsalves counters by quickly catching her in mid air, turning and bringing her down with a Michinoku Driver!
Kris Cruise: What a counter from Gonsalves! He's got the pin!
ONE!

THR-NO!
The crowd sighs when Stevenson gets the shoulder up.
Stephy Auger: PHEW!
Gonsalves turns over on all fours and starts to crawl towards his corner. The US Champion eventually gets up, staggers over towards his corner and collapses into the turnbuckles. But Fujiko and Moss are still down on the floor.
Kris Cruise: Gonsalves can't tag out!
Stephy Auger: Where are your partners when you need them now, Owen?
Back inside, the ref recognizes the tag out to Stokes. Gonsalves slowly turns around in the corner before getting caught with yet another running double knee from Stokes! The Kodiak then sits Gonsalves up on the top turnbuckle before climbing up to the middle ropes.
Kris Cruise: What's this?
Pockets of fans can be seen standing up as Stokes lifts Gonsalves up across her shoulders. The crowd gasps when she stands up with Gonsalves still on her shoulders before bringing him down wit an avalanche fireman's carry gutbuster! She makes the cover.
ONE!

TWO!

THRE-NO!
Gonsalves is met with applause when he gets the shoulder up.
Kris Cruise: How did he get his shoulder up after that?
Stephy Auger: Instinct. It had to be instinct.
Stokes picks up Gonsalves before quickly taking control of his back. She then runs and rams him sternum-first into the corner before trying to throw him down with the Chaos Theory (front turnbuckle smash into a back roll German Suplex)! But Gonsalves grabs onto the turnbuckle hook, sending Stokes off his back and down to the mat. Stokes rolls back to her feet and rushes back in to attack. Gonsalves knocks her back with a back elbow to the face. The Kodiak shakes off the blow before before charging back in. Gonsalves goes for another back elbow, but Stokes ducks, grabs Gonsalves and brings him out of the corner with a snap Saito Suplex! The boos continue as she makes the cover.

Gonsalves is met with applause when he gets the shoulder up.
Stokes takes Gonsalves and slams him down with an STO before dragging him into position. After stepping out to the apron, she scales the turnbuckles.
Stephy Auger: She's looking to finish him off here once and for all.
The Kodiak heads back to the top and goes for another diving double foot stomp. She misses!
Kris Cruise: Gonsalves rolled out of the way!
Stokes lands on her feet before her momentum sends her rolling forward. She gets back to her feet, turns, runs back over towards Gonsalves and gets flattened with a Meteroa out of nowhere!
Kris Cruise: Draco Meteor!
Stephy Auger: WHAT!?
Stokes remains splayed out of the mat while Gonsalves starts to crawl towards his corner. Across the way, both Moss and Fujiko can both be seen pulling themselves back up to the mat. Back near the center of the ring, Stokes starts stir. She then slowly sits up before turning over and crawling towards her corner. In one corner, both Stevenson and Voltage are screaming for the tag. In the opposite corner, Moss tries to rally the crowd by swinging her arm up and down. Fujiko does the same by repeatedly slapping the top turnbuckle.
Kris Cruise: Which team will make the tag first?
Gonsalves leaps over... and makes the tag to Moss!
Kris Cruise: Lowri's back in!
Stokes dives over to tag in Stevenson, but Voltage gets his hand in front of Stevenson's and receives the tag!
Kris Cruise: Did Ace just steal the tag from Cordy!??
Stephy Auger: Ace has never shied away from the big moment. He's the Main Event of FGA, you know. He'll tell you so himself.
Moss and Voltage rush towards the center of the ring. The crowd explodes with cheers as the two champions trade strikes. The two continue to exchange forearms until Moss starts to gain the upper hand. Voltage starts to get knocked back with each forearm strike. She then goes for an irish whip, only for Voltage to reverse. Moss comes back off the ropes and ducks a back elbow to the face. Moss continues to run the ropes until Stevenson yanks down the top rope!
Kris Cruise: Oh no!
Moss tumbles to the floor, but she somehow lands on her feet! The moment Stevenson stands back up on the apron, Moss yanks her off, sending the former champion flying off the apron and crashing to the floor.
Stephy Auger: Hey!
Moss climbs back up to the apron in the opposite team's corner and returns the favor to Stokes with a forearm of her own. After Stokes falls to the floor, Moss starts to scale the turnbuckles. She's about to reach the top when Voltage leaps over onto the middle ropes and rakes her across the eyes.
The boos continue as he hooks both arms before throwing Moss down with a Butterly Superplex!
Kris Cruise: Huge suplex off the top from Ace Voltage!

Stephy Auger: This is it right here, Cruise!
Voltage climbs the turnbuckles. Once he reaches the top, the crowd boos when he flips off and lands down hard across Moss with High Voltage (450 Splash)! NO! The crowd boos, then cheers when Moss blocks the 450!
Kris Cruise: Moss got her knees up!
Stephy Auger: Ace!
Voltage bounces off Moss' knees before rolling across the ring. He curls up near the center of the ring before slowly pushing himself up on all fours. The moment he gets a foot down on the mat, Moss runs over and returns the favor with a Shining Wizard of her own! She makes the cover.

Voltage gets the shoulder up.
Moss goes for an irish whip when Voltage reverses, sending her into the corner. He runs over to attack, but Moss knocks him back with a back elbow to the face. She then springboards onto the middle ropes to go for another Slice of Heaven. But she's unable to get the move off. The crowd boos when Stevenson leaps onto the apron and wraps her arms around Moss' leg.
Kris Cruise: Cordy's hanging onto that leg for dear life.
Moss hits Stevenson with wild clubbing strikes before pushing her down to the floor. Before Moss can climb back down, Voltage leaps onto the middle ropes from behind and hits a release German Suplex! NO! Moss rotates and lands on her feet. Voltage gets back to his feet in the corner before getting caught with another running big boot!
Stephy Auger: OH NO! ACE!
Voltage slumps down in the corner while Moss runs off into the adjacent set of ropes. She goes to run back over and finally hit the running facewash, but Stevenson yanks her down to the mat from the outside.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Stevenson turns to the crowd and taunts them by doing the Woo Walk. As Stevenson turns around, the boos turn to cheers when leaps through the ropes and knocks her down with a suicide dive!

Kris Cruise: There was no hesitation that time! Fujiko took to the air and took out The Kodiak!
Back inside the ring, Voltage takes Moss and whips her into the corner. He runs across the ring, catches her with a clothesline and goes for a running bulldog out of the corner. Moss counters by pushing him off into the ropes. When Voltage returns, the crowd cheers when Moss knocks him off his feet with the Breuddwydion Melus (Superkick)! NO! Voltage catches her foot. He then wags his finger at Moss before swinging her leg away from him. Voltage quickly takes control of her back and hits a belly to back suplex! NO!

The cheers continue as Moss gets her arm raised in victory.
Kris Cruise: Lowri Moss has done it! She's come through for her team here tonight and has delivered the win for them in the main event! What a wild match we just saw! It could have gone either way. But in the end, the better team won and tonight, the better team consisted of the Hall of Famer, the United States Champion and the Undisputed Champion! For Stephy Auger, this is Kris Cruise signing off! Goodnight, everyone!
Once Fujiko and Gonsalves have returned to their ring, they stand beside Moss before raising each other's arms in the air.
