Ray Payne: Dat luks like a stackeded card headed intah Chaoses twendy fours, yo.
Johnny Vegas: Shit might just hit the fan before we even get to We Are Relentless.
Terra Skye: You might be right, Johnny. It's going to be a mess, that's for sure.
Matt Wylde: This next match is scheduled for one fall and will be decided upon a coin flip after BOTH competitors are in the ring!
Terra Skye: Hopefully this coin toss goes better than the last one did.
Johnny Vegas: Knowing these fuckers around here..
The house lights blacken out and the scratching riff breaks into a into a scream where the house lights come on again to find Cynder in the crowd from the second tier seating. The steady drum percussion while the screams come from not only the music but the crowd as well whom thrusts fist up at every scream given in some with the drum beat and guitar riff raging. She makes her way through the crowd as they all start to move out of her way but as well touch her while the lyrics come:
This grave of life, I give to you
Ignore what was, you know it's true
Realms of fear, they speak the truth
What has past, I hand to you
When she reaches the ring she slides over the metal rail and goes towards a folded tan chair in the nearest corner, climbing it with the help of fans to stand on the top of the rail as the chorus bleeds out and her mouth moves with the words while her arms are put out to the sides in a crucifixion pose as her head goes back to close her eyes and take in the pop for her, good or bad.
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me, child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you….
Cynder Hendricks
Matt Wylde: First to the ring, hailing from Kingsbridge Heights, Bronx, New York; and weighing in at One hundred and twenty two pounds... she is the Carnage Wrestling Baltimore City champion.... CYNDER HENDRICKSSSS!!!!!!
Johnny Vegas: Looking confident as always.
Terra Skye: I do know for a fact that she didn't take too kindly to Tweeder interfering in her match at Chaos 22.
Ray Payne: I dink she wunts tah does it herselfs, yo. Jus like some of da odah peoples, yo.
The screams in the song sound again with fists being thrust up again with her doing the same with the crowd. She hops down to slide into the ring and rush into the opposite ropes back first, flipping her blonde braids back and locking her arms over the top rope to lean lazily into and bounce her head to the song fade out.
Johnny Vegas: It makes me curious as to how these 'teams' are going to play out.
Terra Skye: I know what you mean, there are so many different kinds of people in these teams, and they just get more different as the weeks go on.
A heavy guitar riff begins to play, hyping up the audience. A few spotlights, small flickers of red and pastel blue, begin to light up the audience as "This Will Be The Day" begins to play over the loudspeakers. Stepping out onto the stage is Melody Lennox - the petite pixie of CW, in a self-promotional shirt over her shorts. She shuddered away a little at the spotlight, a meek smile on her face. Skipping forward, she gave her multi-colored hair a toss from side to side, swaying with her bouncy movements. A hand went out to one side, then the other, collecting high fives from fans.
Melody Lennox
Matt Wylde: Making her way to the ring, hailing from Huntington Beach, California - weighing in at 100 pounds... She is the Carnage Champion.... MELODY LENNNNNNNOOOOOOX!
Terra Skye: And here's our girl.
Ray Payne: It wuz a pleasures tah haz her heah last shows, yo.
Johnny Vegas: It wasn't terrible.. but it wasn't great either!
Terra Skye: She certainly wasn't fond of you either, Johnny.
She blushed slightly at the introduction, she gently pulled her hand back and folded both arms behind her back. Flushed face, she climbed up the stairs to enter the ring, undoing the furl in her arms and ascending the turnbuckles from the outside. Posing on the post, she then took hold of the top ropes and slowly descended down onto the canvas. Meekly backing into the corner, she gently fiddled with some of her hair as her music faded.
Terra Skye: And here's the time when we get to see if this match is going to be a little out of Melody's wheel house.. or if Cynder is going to have to play by the rules.
Johnny Vegas: I don't think little Melly could handle an Ultraviolent match against Cynder.
Ray Payne: I dink yah iz wrongs, yo. Miss Melly gotted hardcores back in hers olds places yo.
Terra Skye: Ray makes a great point, Johnny. Back in Uncensored, Melody faced our very own Kyra Mohr in a 'Crazy Train' match.. And she won. Considering the shit we've seen Kyra endure I'm fairly certain Melody had to really step it up against her.
Johnny Vegas: I'll believe it when I see it.
Referee White Rey steps into the ring, coin in hand.
Matt Wylde: Once again, Heads equals standard rules, and tails equals Ultraviolent rules!
Rey throws the coin into the air, and allows it to drop to the canvas. Everyone leans in with anticipation, hoping to see the stipulation that they want on that coin.
Matt Wylde: Aaaand... the main event this evening will be contested under.... STANDARD RULES!!!
Johnny Vegas: Looks like our champ gets what she wants.
Terra Skye: Not necessarily. I'm seeing something different in her eyes tonight. She honestly looked like she was ready to take on Cynder in a hardcore style match.
Johnny Vegas: Well Cynder isn't going to be any easier to beat in a standard match. Just saying.
Matt Wylde steps out of the ring, as White Rey steps to each woman and checks her over for any illegal items before calling out to Boy for the opening bell!
Boy: STARSHED IN THE WORDS OF THE DEAD.
Johnny Vegas: Just ring the damn bell.
DING DING!!
The legion is pumped as this standard match gets underway with the two femmes circling the ring. Lennox has a slight grin on her face as the coin-toss had gone Team Wrestling's way for once; but that seems to make Cynder Hendricks that much more determined than she was before. The two square off at ring center with a very short collar and elbow tie-up that gets broken up almost immediately by Hendricks. Kattunge throws a hard forearm smash into the side of the world champion's head, throwing any wrestling the crowd might have hoped to have seen tonight right out the window. Lennox grits her teeth and stands her ground and throws a return forearm of her own. While staying partially in the clinch, Lennox and Hendricks exchange a volley of smashes that brings the tension up immediately. The Baltimore City Champion's power helps her to get the better of the exchange, landing a fifth and a sixth forearm smash in a quick succession that back Melody up to the east side ropes.
Terra Skye: You could cut the tension with a knife.
Ray Payne: Miss Melly iz nots backin downs, yo.
Johnny Vegas: She's got a lot to prove tonight. At least in my eyes.
Kattunge grabs Melody's left wrist and pulls her forward for an irish whip but Lennox is able to throw her weight over and reverse the irish whip. Kattunge is sent to the western ropes instead and chooses to carry her momentum bounding off of them with full force. Lennox steps into the center of the ring to meet her opponent but as the two come together it's Hendricks who is able to drop Melody down to the mat with a hard shoulder block. Kattunge looks down at the world champion with a grin on her face. Hendricks pivots and runs against the north ring ropes regaining a full head of steam. Melody quickly regains her wits and rolls her shoulders over to throw her body in the way of Cynder's legs the moment she turns with an attempted body trip. Hendricks jumps over the Carnage Champion with relative ease but now stumbles as she makes her way towards the south end of the ring. She catches herself by grabbing the top rope on that side of the ring, and turns to run at her opponent once more. Lennox pops back up onto her feet and catches Kattunge with an armdrag. Hendricks rolls through the light impact of the arm drag and ends up right back on her feet; she charges a second time and ends up taking a second arm drag from the world champ. The crowd cheers and gives a small round of applause as Melody Lennox neatly transitions the armdrag into an armbar to keep Kattunge from rolling through this time.
Ray Payne: Miss Melly shows her quickiness, yo.
Terra Skye: Cynder with a slight stumble there, but there's no doubt that she's just as quick as the Carnage Champ.
Johnny Vegas: There's a reason they're both champs..
Senior Referee White Rey asks Hendricks if she wishes to submit to the armbar, but no one – not even Lennox – thinks that this move will do anything but ground her opponent. Kattunge pounds her fist against the mat in anger a single time after telling White Rey where he can go with his questions. Hendricks pushes up with her left leg, getting herself up to one knee where she reaches up and grabs a handful of Lennox's blonde hair, yanking it backward. Lennox lets out a yelp with the stinging of the sharp pain that may have tweaked her head and/or neck area, and White Rey is quick to admonish Kattunge yelling out loud enough that the crowd can hear that there will be no hair pulling. Kattunge frees Lennox's hair as Melody wrenches in the armbar even tighter. Hendricks bites her bottom lip in discomfort as she pulls herself up to both feet. Hendricks is able to quickly break up the armbar by throwing herself back down to the mat while pulling Lennox down with her; throwing Lennox up and over her body with a judo throw. Lennox hits the mat and quickly rolls through much as her opponent did with the armdrag. Both femmes make it back to their feet at the same time and turn to square off. Kattunge throws a roundhouse kick that barely misses Melody's face by a measure less than a half-inch, only because of Lennox's reflexes and her ability to bend herself backward at the waist. The Carnage Legion 'Ooohs' at the big whiff, Hendricks' momentum carries her around and Lennox dives underneath to pull her down into a rollup.
One!
Tw-
Hendricks kicks out quickly, right before or very close to the count of two.
Terra Skye: We should've known this coming in, but these two are very evenly matched.
Johnny Vegas: They're both women who have something to prove. Two very different things to prove, but nonetheless, they're out to show that they are worthy of what they have.
Both femmes work to be the first back to their feet, though Kattunge is showing a bit more urgency after being the first to have her shoulders pinned to the mat. Hendricks takes Lennox by the back of the neck and pulls Melody towards herself as she throws a high knee lift right into her solar plexus. Melody groans forcibly as the wind is driven from her body as well having the tree of nerve fibers light up painfully as a result of that hard impact. Kattunge takes the opportunity while Lennox is doubled-over to raise her elbow high in the air only to drive the point of it into the back of her opponents skull. Lennox immediately grabs the back of her head and shoots up, stumbling backward towards the west side of the ring where she catches her balance on the ropes. Hendricks comes up from behind and wraps her arms around the head of Lennox only to rake her face along the top of the ropes edge; another tactic that draws ire from the Referee and the fans. Lennox screams out as she's dragged three feet across the rope before she's finally let go, and is given a moment to recover as White Rey gives Cynder Hendricks an earful.
Terra Skye: Should've known though, that Cynder can't help but bend the rules.
Ray Payne: She iz a membah of team Carnages, yo.. dats tah be expectedz.
Terra Skye: One could only hope that they'd at least abide by the stipulations.
Lennox ends up in the northwest corner of the ring with her back turned towards the turnbuckles as she uses one hand to check her face while the other is kept in a defensive posture. Hendricks approaches from the south, and enters the corner carefully as not to give off her positioning. Melody, still partially blinded from the rope raking, doesn't have the opportunity to block when Kattunge throws the tip of her boot into her stomach. Lennox doubles over in the corner as Hendricks follows up with a flurry of stomps that sends her down into a seated position. Hendricks places the sole of her boot onto Melody Lennox's throat and chokes her while using the ropes to aide her in applying more pressure to the Carnage Champion. White Rey has no other choice but to start a standing five count... 1..2..3..4.. that finally forces Kattunge to give her opponent a competition break.
Terra Skye: COME ON!
Hendricks is just short of livid as White Rey grabs her around the waist and physically pulls her out of the corner. Kattunge and White Rey get into a very verbal altercation where Hendricks ends up threatening White Rey while pointing her finger directly in his face. The altercation ends with Hendricks side-stepping the referee only to go right back to what she was doing before, choking the world champion with her boot for the second straight time, all the way up to a four count.
Johnny Vegas: Once a hardass, always a hardass. That's what I say.
Ray Payne: Dats jus not nices, yo.
Johnny Vegas: She's not getting disqualified, so that counts.
The crowd on hand here at the Carnage Arena in Baltimore are booing loudly when Cynder Hendricks is forcibly pulled off of Melody Lennox a second time. Hendricks takes a moment to assuage her need to be charismatic by lifting her arms up at her side while taking a bow for the fans, drawing even more anger towards herself. She turns towards the south side of the ring and repeats the gesture to the fans on that side of the arena, looking directly into the OWF Network cameras as she takes her bow. The moment serves to be a breather for her, swiping her hair back away from her face before she turns back towards Lennox to continue the match.
Terra Skye: Showboating. Wow.
Johnny Vegas: Girl is proud of the job she's done.
Terra Skye: Someone as new as she, shouldn't be so quick to count out someone like Melody Lennox.
Ray Payne: Dat mite comes back tah bites her, yo.
Boy: BITTEN.
Johnny Vegas: Yeah....
Hendricks approaches the corner where Lennox is just now starting to try to pull herself back up. Hendricks comes in with her arms raised fairly high which leaves an opening for the World Champion to exploit. With her hands on the ropes, Melody pulls herself upward to throw a kick into Cynder's midsection that not only catches her off-balance but sends her staggering back towards the center of the ring as well. The Carnage Legion cheers as Lennox uses her grip on the ropes to bridge herself back up to her feet in time to see her opponent standing in the center of the ring. Melody charges with full force and throws her arm out to her side, catching Kattunge at the base of her neck with a clothesline. Hendricks falls flat to the mat but immediately throws her left shoulder over her body to roll herself back up to her feet. Meanwhile, Melody is feeding off of the crowd as she clenches her fist and awaits her opponent's return. The moment that Hendricks is back up and returned, Lennox downs her with a second jarring clothesline. Hendricks hits the mat and quickly rolls herself over again, making sure to keep her shoulder blades off of the mat. Each clothesline brought the crowd further back into the match, and when Hendricks stands up a third time, Lennox uses that energy to throw herself in the air to nail her opponent with a picture perfect dropkick. The crowd cheers loudly when Hendricks hits the mat a third time and this time lingers a bit on her back.
Terra Skye: YEAH! There she goes!
Lennox is quick back to her feet with enough time to spare that she can wait for her opponent to rise on her own terms. Kattunge fights through the initial sting of her opponents offense to get back to a vertical base, but only to be immediately taken by Lennox and driven back down into the mat with a hard bulldog. The crowd yells at Lennox to make a cover, but instead the champ takes a few moments to recuperate on her own, with her sights on the southeast corner of the ring.
Terra Skye: She's not going for the cover!
Johnny Vegas: Now that is interesting.
Ray Payne: I wundah whys, yo.
Terra Skye: That's definitely not like her. It looks like she's looking to do some more damage to her opponent! Good for her!
Johnny Vegas: Maybe Sabiru did more of a number on her than we thought.
Ray Payne: Or maybes she iz provin dat she gots whut it takes tah hang wif da peoples in team carnages, yo. Ya knows dey dinks dat da team wresslin peoples iz jus a bunch ah sissies, yo. Miss Mellie iz no sissy.
Melody sits up with her eyes still pointed at the southeast corner. She sends a quick glance over at her opponent who is still lying face down upon the mat. Melody pushes herself up to her knees and then back up to her feet and makes her way over to the ring corner while Kattunge is still down. Using her agility, she places one foot on the bottom rope and uses it to spring herself upward landing perfectly in a crouched position on the top rope facing the ring. The Legion cheers this impressive display from a competitor, especially as Lennox stands perched while almost begging Cynder to get back to her feet. Inside the ring, Senior Referee White Rey begins an arbitrary ten-count for Lennox who is technically outside the ring, but he doesn't even reach the count of two before Hendricks is almost back to her feet.
Terra Skye: There she goes!
Johnny Vegas: She's gotten my attention.
Hendricks stands fully-vertical, with her back turned to where Lennox is. Melody leaps into the air just as Cynder begins to pivot towards the southeast corner, and catches her with a big cross body off of the top rope. The crowd cheers as both femmes grunt out loudly from the impact and their bodies go crashing down to the mat. Hendricks holds Lennox tightly and uses her own momentum against her to roll herself backwards so that Lennox falls over and has her shoulders down on the mat instead. Senior Referee White Rey doens't miss a beat as Cynder holds on and clutches Lennox tightly in a pinning predicament...
One!
Two!
Thr-Lennox flails her legs wildly and just manages to break the pinfall up before White Rey's hand hits the mat for three.
Terra Skye: The Legion is in shock! That was CLOSE!
Johnny Vegas: That risk might have costed Melody... a split second more, and it would have.
Ray Payne: All dat matters iz dat it wuz nots da tree. yo.
With the pinfall so close, there are some fans within the Carnage Arena that aren't sure if the action is over or not until both women stand up and Hendricks nearly decapitates Lennox with a strong, short clothesline of her own. There's a loud gasp when both femmes hit the mat again yet this time Cynder is the one that seems to be in control. Moving a bit slower than before, Cynder has to push herself up to her knees and noticeably takes a few deep breaths before moving any further. Lennox had already worked to roll herself up onto her side in the direction away from her opponent to make pinning her harder for the time being anyway. Cynder uses aide from White Rey's belt to pull herself back up to her feet, something White Rey definitely isn't happy about and gives Hendricks an ear-full for. Hendricks grabs Lennox by her hair and works to pull Lennox back to her feet slowly due to both competitors building lethargy at this stage of the match. Melody lunges upward and wraps her arm around Cynder's neck and pulls her down into a small package pin.
One!
Two!
Hendricks kicks out solidly just before the count of three!
Ray Payne: Dere's da Miss Melly we knows, yo.
Johnny Vegas: I wouldn't be so sure of it. Something has changed about her.
Terra Skye: I agree.. but Cynder is looking different out there too.
After the pin breaks up, both female athletes roll themselves back to a vertical base, pushing their limits to gain the advantage. Cynder turns and fires off another short-arm clothesline that Lennox is able to dodge as she anticipated it and draws the respect of the audience as she does so with an acrobatic one-handed cartwheel. Cynder has the move well-scouted though as Melody's landing is marred by an immediate thrust kick that catches her with a minor glancing shot to the jaw.
Johnny Vegas: Cynder has got Melody scouted though. Not many people counter that dodge.
Terra Skye: In her short time here, Cynder has proven herself to be an impressive talent. If she keeps honing in those skills, I forsee her challenging Melody Lennox again for the Carnage Championship.
Ray Payne: But she's has tah gives up her Baltimores city belts tah does dat yo... rite?
Terra Skye: That's right, Ray. But none of that is set in stone yet, so lets just watch the rest of this match.
Melody staggers backward, her back contacting the ropes just enough that she bounces off of them heading back towards her opponent. Kattunge squares up and kicks Lennox in the gut upon arrival. Cynder calls out to the crowd as she grips Melody's head and sets her up for her signature implant ddt. Right as Hendricks is about to drop the World Champion, Melody is able to find the wherewithal to spin herself out of the front facelock and back to a stand. Cynder telegraphs a right hand as she cocks it back for a hey-maker and Lennox is able to duck it; then Melody fires off knife-edge chops in a rapid succession that has Kattunge backing up to the ropes. The crowd reacts to the loud sound of flesh on flesh echoing throughout the arena as Lennox transfers the chops into an irish whip where she sends Kattunge hard, back first into the northeast corner of the ring. Melody extends the distance between them and then charges with a barrel-full of her own momentum and attempts to perform her leaping clothesline but Hendricks moves out of the way. Hendricks spins Lennox in the corner so that her back is facing the turnbuckles and then steps up onto the second rope to begin a flurry of mounted punches. The crowd boos with each one, and as Senior Referee nears a five count to break up the punches, Cynder Hendricks snaps off a hurricanrana as an Ode to Wrath. But Lennox shoves Hendricks off of her shoulders as she is performing the maneuver, and instead of taking Lennox with her Cynder ends up performing a backflip where she lands on her feet anyway. While Hendricks is doubled-over from landing the flip, Lennox pushes herself forward out of the corner and leaps up onto Kattunge's back going for the Off-Key Symphony! The crowd cheers as Lennox works to lunge forward, but Cynder Hendricks uses her raw toughness and power to somehow step towards the north ropes just enough to reach out and grab the middle rope before Lennox can finish off the maneuver. Hendricks hugs the middle rope tight as Lennox makes a few attempts to snap the move off anyway while Senior Referee White Rey counts to five forcing the Carnage World Champion to make the break. The Legion is audibly disappointed but Lennox does the right thing as she makes a clean break that allows Cynder Hendricks passage.
Terra Skye: Wow. Lennox drawing the five count.
Johnny Vegas: Interesting. Very interesting.
Ray Payne: Dat iz jus nots like hers, yo.
Johnny Vegas: We've determined this, Ray. Way to keep repeating yourself.
Melody takes a few steps back for the break but that doesn't stop Kattunge from taking immediate action. Kattunge charges and takes Lennox to the mat with a half-spear like maneuver that's more designed to capture her opponents waist than to impact it. Lennox hits the mat in the center of the ring and sits out to place her back at Hendricks with the waistlock still applied. Hendricks and Lennox both work their way back up to their feet with Hendricks still wrenching the waistlock. Melody tries to throw back elbows at her opponent but Cynder is able to move her head away to keep any of the strikes from landing. Melody works her hips to loosen her opponents grip, and then jumps into the air with an attempt to turn the waistlock into a version of a victory roll. Hendricks blocks the roll-through, and transitions Melody's counter into a wheelbarrow that she immediately uses to pull Melody up and then unceremoniously throw her face first back down to the canvas. The Jenocidal Junkie rolls through after the wheelbarrow facebuster looking to apply a crossface to finish off her signature combo. With Surtr Sins almost applied, Lennox reaches out at thin air for anything, and the moment at which the crossface gets locked in the Carnage World Champion is able to grab onto the nearby bottom rope. Senior Referee White Rey begins to count to five as Kattunge reacts angrily and refuses to release the hold. She almost earns herself a disqualification as she broke right as White Rey had reached five.
Ray Payne: Dat wuz cloeses, yo.
The crowd boos as Cynder Hendricks is quick back up to her feet and she begins to lay stomps down along the back of the champion. White Rey once again has to drag Hendricks physically away from Lennox to initiate a proper break. Hendricks is furious, but she seems to need to take the few moments given to her to catch her breath. Her hands go down to her thighs as she looks across the ring at the champion working the ropes to pull herself back to her feet.
Terra Skye: Cynder is stalking her prey right now. She's a dangerous woman, that's for damn sure.
Boy: MOTHER Graves! Dylan notes leaves in the grave.
Ray Payne: Dats okies, Boy. Dat notes iz probabs stills dere, yo.
Kattunge waits for Lennox to get back to her feet. Lennox catches Cynder out of the corner of her eye, but pulls herself back to her feet knowing that an attack is imminent. Cynder pounces the moment that both of Lennox's wrestling boots come in contact with the mat as she charges forward. Hendricks springboards off of the middle rope and sends herself flying at Lennox with a modified version of her springboard plancha. Melody is able to duck the maneuver at the last moment and it sends Cynder crashing down on the mat. Cynder hits the mat hard stomach first and pops up onto her knees, clutching her chest area with both of her arms. Melody charges in and catches Kattunge in the side of her face with a beautiful shining wizard. The Carnage Legion cheers as Lennox rolls over and throws her arm overtop of Kattunge...
One!
Two!
Thr-No! Kattunge rolls her shoulder up.
Terra Skye: Hot Damn! This match has been excellent! Proof that you don't need to be hardcore to have a great match!
Ray Payne: Sucks it Teams Carnages, yo!!!
Johnny Vegas: Calm down, Ray. Calm down.
Lennox looks up at White Rey and gets the two-count signal from him. She brushes her hair backward and everyone can see the look of determination etched on her face. Lennox pulls Cynder up off of the mat just enough to throw a forearm shiv that knocks her right back down flat on the canvas. Cynder rolls over onto her stomach and away from Lennox, but it doesn't take Melody long to catch on to her opponent's evasion. Lennox grabs Hendricks by the ankle and drags the femme towards the center of the ring looking for a camel clutch. Before the Carnage Champion can get the Baltimore City Champion over, Kattunge manages to roll herself over onto her back and use her feet to push Melody off of her. Melody is forced to release the ankle as she takes three big steps backward before she can regain her balance. Kattunge sits up and Lennox comes charging in with a running knee strike aimed at the side of Cynder's head but Cynder manages to duck it. Lennox's momentum carries her over her opponent, Cynder reaches up with perfect timing and grabs a handful of Lennox's tights to pull her down into a roll-up. White Rey dives in to count the pin but Melody uses her own momentum to simply roll backwards through the pin attempt and back up to her feet. Cynder Hendricks turns and pushes herself back up to her feet using one knee but she is immediately clutched in the grasp of the World Champion who grabs her in suplex positioning and shoots her over with a snap vertical suplex with ease.
Terra Skye: This pace can't keep up for long. Both women have got to be exhausted.
After the suplex, Lennox kips back up to her feet which gets the Legion completely riled up. Lennox stands in wait for Cynder to get back to her feet calling to the crowd for the Off-Key Symphony once more. Hendricks is slow to get back to her feet, using the ropes for aide. As she turns she is met with a midkick from Lennox. It looks like the midkick caught its mark as Kattunge doubles over, but Hendricks quickly pops back upright with Lennox's foot trapped in her arms. Melody hops twice before Hendricks throws her opponents leg down while snapping off a loud step up enzugiri that looks like it might have taken the champ's head off. Lennox drops down to one knee in a stutter-step and on dream street when The Jenocidal Junkie quickly pulls her back in and drills her to the mat with an implant DDT.
Terra Skye: If we know Cynder well enough by now, we also knows where she's heading from here.
Johnny Vegas: But why doesn't she just try to pin her?
Ray Payne: Wunts tah does more damages, yo?
Most of the Legion here in the Carnage Arena are booing as the sweaty and tired Hendricks pops up with the Carnage World Champion laid out on the canvas. Hendricks nearly falls over, catching the northern top rope to break her fall as she looks back at her opponent's positioning. Fighting fatigue, Cynder Hendricks steps through the ropes to the ring apron and begins to scale the northeastern ring corner. Ascending the turnbuckles is a slow process as the champion begins to stir. The Baltimore City Champ pulls her wrestling boots up to the top turnbuckle and gathers a perch where she is balanced. Hendricks stands for a moment on the top rope with her back turned towards the ring. Hendricks flicks her head back to clear her hair away from her face, slowly standing upright on the top rope and turnbuckle so that she can perform her signature corkscrew angled moonsault. Just as Hendricks is about to make the leap, Lennox flies in and throws her upper body over the top of the eastern ropes, jostling them enough that Hendricks falls down crotching the top turnbuckle. The crowd inside the Carnage arena reacts to the look on Hendricks's face as she comes down in a bad way.
Ray Payne: Miss Cyn mays jus comes tah regrets dat, yo.
Johnny Vegas: She might be regretting it already.
Terra Skye: And this is why we call her mighty Mellie.
Lennox wills herself forward, pulling herself along the eastern rope until she reaches the corner where Hendricks is sitting. Lennox pulls herself up onto the middle turnbuckle as the Baltimore City Champion instinctively works to get herself back up to a vertical base as well. With Melody Lennox guiding her, Kattunge is brought back up and directed to turn so that she is perched on the top turnbuckle while facing the ring instead. Lennox then places one foot up on the top rope next to Hendricks, and clutches her with a front waistlock. Lennox pulls her second foot up onto the top rope and tries to pull Hendricks up for a backflip belly-to-belly suplex off of the top rope!
Terra Skye: Holy fucking shit! Melody is going for the Final Serenade! She practically never goes for that move!
Johnny Vegas: Hot damn! I might actually start rooting for that little firecracker if she keeps up this attitude!
Kattunge manages to keep Lennox from pulling her up with a vicious headbutt. Lennox is momentarily stunned, giving Hendricks enough time to throw her head back to smash Lennox in the face a second time with a harder headbutt than before. Lennox is barely holding on, but regains her wits just in time to clutch the waistlock one more time to go for the Final Serenade. Lennox pulls upward with all of her might, but Hendricks manages to break her grasp instead. Lennox performs a partial backflip empty-handed and lands awkwardly on her head and neck. The entire Carnage Legion is stunned as Lennox immediately clutches her head and rolls around for a moment on the canvas just beneath the northeast corner of the ring. Kattunge looks down for a moment, seemingly looking to decide on what to do. When Lennox finally does come to a stop, Kattunge decides. She stands herself upright on the top rope and jumps, performing a 180 degree turn in mid air. She lands back on the top rope, this time her back facing the ring. She nearly loses her balance, but the moment she catches it, she snaps off a Corkscrew Angled Moonsault. Her body twists through the air and connects down across the chest of the Carnage Champion Melody Lennox. The Legion begins to boo loudly as Kattunge holds her chest tightly for a moment before throwing her upper body down onto Lennox and hooking her outside leg. White Rey jumps down to make the cover!
One!
Two!
Three!!!
DING DING DING!!!
Matt Wylde: Here is your winner, CYNDER HHHEEENNNNDDDRRRIIXXXXX!!!!
Terra Skye: Oh my God... I can't believe this! Melody Lennox was just handed her first loss here in Carnage wrestling... By Cynder Hendricks!
Ray Payne: Maybes dat one moves costed her, yo.
Terra Skye: It might have, but that shouldn't deter Melody. That new attitude might be just what she needs if she's to go into WAR and help team Wrestling to victory.
Johnny Vegas: That is if their team can stick together to begin with.
The crowd is absolutely stunned as Cynder Hendricks drops Melody Lennox's leg and sits up on her knees. Hendricks swipes her hair back away from her sweaty brow and takes a few moments to not only catch her breath but to take in the gravity of what she had just accomplished right here, right now. Senior Referee White Rey offers a hand to help Hendricks back up to her feet in order to raise her arm in victory. For a moment, it appears as though Hendricks is going to be pulled up by Rey, but Cynder rips her hand out of his and immediately goes to back to her opponent, mounting her so that she can rain down a flurry of closed fists on her face. The crowd goes from booing to absolutely furious as White Rey has to physically pull Cynder Hendricks away!
Terra Skye: What the HELL?!?
Ray Payne: SORE WINNAH YO!
Johnny Vegas: She just became the first person to beat Melody Lennox.. why's she gotta act like a prick?
Cynder, now back on her feet, turns and shoves White Rey off, sending him through the ropes and crashing against the lightly padded floor right in front of the commentary area. Inside the ring, Hendricks grabs a double-handful of Melody Lennox's hair and yanks her back to her feet only to fling her through the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, towards the entrance ramp.
DING DING DING DING DING!!!
Hendricks hops through the ropes and jumps to the outside where Melody Lennox is fighting to get back up to her feet. With Lennox on all fours, Kattunge simply runs up and punt kicks her rib cage sending her back over onto the light padding on the concrete floor. Hendricks is quick to pull Lennox back up to a vertical base by her hair the whole time mocking her for being in pain. Lennox throws a forearm shiv that catches Kattunge on the button and sets her up for some offense of her own, but the moment that Lennox takes a step away from Hendricks, Hendricks uses the grip of Lennox's hair to snap her right back down to the thinly padded concrete floor below.
Terra Skye: COME ON! This isn't going to help her injuries any! This is only going to set her back!
DING DING DING DING DING!!!
Hendricks lays the boots to Lennox while she is down, adding insult to injury with each strong stomp on the Carnage Champion. After it appears as though Hendricks might be done, she reaches over the barricade and grabs a steel folding chair from ringside. There's a loud twang when Hendricks snaps the chair shut, but there's also a commotion at the top of the ramp as Lucas Silva limps out from the backstage area.
Lucas Silva
He stops at the top of the ramp the moment that he and Cynder Hendricks make eye contact. The crowd is cheering for Silva, expecting him to come down and stop the barrage on a fellow Team Wrestling member. Even Hendricks herself becomes very vocal as she holds the chair up at chest height and dares Silva to come down the ramp. Sandtown Kid appears hesitant.
Ray Payne: Waits, yo.. Whut's goin on...
Johnny Vegas: Holy fucking hell, What Altus and Ojeda said earlier... it might have gotten to him.
Terra Skye: No, it can't be... not Lucas Silva.. he wouldn't... Would he?
Hendricks turns her attention back to Lennox, who is struggling to make her way back up to her feet. Hendricks raises the steel chair high and slams it down across the back of Lennox! There's a loud twang and Boy continues to ring the bell which does nothing to stop the post-match attack. Hendricks pulls the chair up a second time when suddenly a team of security come rushing out from the top of the ramp, members of the security team even accidentally brushing into STK as he stands watching from the distance. Hendricks's second chair shot is interrupted when security come swirling down the ramp, but they prove to be nothing at all as the very first security guard takes the steel folding chair with his face.
Terra Skye: SHIT!
Johnny Vegas: This really is too close for comfort!
Ray Payne: Comes on Mistah Soundtown... does nots lets da peoples down, yo.
Guard after guard go down as Hendricks simply fights them off. With each guard that goes down, the Sandtown Kid looks more and more torn. Finally, there's no one left between Hendricks and Melody Lennox, whom to her credit is still working to push herself back up to her feet despite everything that she has been through so far this evening. Hendricks takes the chair and pulls it high above her head; this time she's waiting as she's clearly aimed to take off Melody's head. Just as the little kids in the Legion are screaming out to Melody not to get up, she turns and is met with – Sandtown Kid dives in with a spear taking Hendricks out!
Terra Skye: HAHAH! YES!!!
Ray Payne: I knowed it yo! I jus knowed it!
Johnny Vegas: Eh.. he almost had me. ALMOST. But still, fuck him.
Boy: SOUNDS IN THE TOWNS OF KIDS! HAVENS!!!
Sandtown Kid throws a flurry of punches down on Hendricks, but few hit their mark. Kattunge is able to squirm away and make her way back up to her feet while the spear itself may have taken the last bit of strength out of Lucas Silva's legs that he had left. Hendricks hops the barricade just as a second team of security forces arrive but they are far too late. Silva stands next to Lennox as she is helped up by security back to her feet, but it is Hendricks who is jaw jacking the loudest. She backs her way through the crowd as she points back towards the ring yelling at anyone and everyone within earshot.
Silva and Lennox stand side by side, as Hendricks disappears into the crowd. The two turn towards one another, their eyes meeting for the first time and they nod to one another as the crowd cheers them.
Terra Skye: What a way to end this show!
Johnny Vegas: Just shake hands and get this disgusting shit over with.
Melody is seen mouthing the words 'thank you', and she extends her hand to Silva. Silva hesitates once again, but much to the joy of the crowd, their two top champs shake hands and head up towards the entrance together.
Terra Skye: Well, I do have to say... This show ends on a rather bittersweet note ton--
