Cassidy Adler vs. Karlie Nash vs. Roddy Zalez(c)
You hear the sick intro to “U Mad” by Vic Mensa start to play, and you’re immediately mesmerized by the display of flashing lights and the titantron presenting to you Action Wrestling’s Show Stealer.
“Ooo I don’t need y’all either.
“Ooo don’t wanna talk about it.
“Ooo like I don’t, like I don’t know nobody.
“Like I don’t know nobody.
“I guess I don’t!”
“Oh you mad, huh?
‘Oh you mad, huh?
‘Oh oh you mad, huh?”
You spot the smug look of the Show Stealer, Cassidy Adler, as he struts onto the ramp and begins to make his way down to the ring, adjusting his baggy shorts and beaming a pearly-toothed smile at you, causing you to immediately feel the need to get his number and find out when he’s next available.
Unfortunately for you, this is the Adler show and he’s here to slap a hoe, not find his next sexploit. Cassidy brushes his blonde hair out of his eyes, slicking it back and blowing a kiss at the camera, followed by a wink as his music fades out. You can feel your heart racing from his mere presence in the ring as the 6’1, 183 pound specimen seems to have not only stolen the show, but everyone’s hearts. Even Adilene Floyd is swooning.
Adilene Floyd: N… n- now in the ring, from Rye, New York… the “Show Stealer” C-Cassidy Adler!Don’t worry, Adilene. Cassidy forgives you. He’s used to it.
Knuckle Up by Snowgoons blasts in the arena as Karlie steps on the stage with her back to the crown.
Ethan Miller: Introducing from Grand Marais Minnesota and accompanied to the ring by Tracy Dixon and Hilda Meyer weighing one hundred and seventy two-pounds, The Premier Athlete Karlie Nash.Karlie walks to the ring ignoring the crowd, she climbs the ropes from the outside, and give a thumbs down to the fans, then lowers her hood and smirks at the crowd, she steps down from the ropes inside the ring, removes her hoodie and stretches in the corner.
The lights in the arena turn dark to allow "Happy Endings" by Mike Shinoda ft. iann dior and UPSAHL to play on the PA. A single spotlight shines on the stage to showcase Roddy Zalez with his arms spread. His vest is open to showcase how physiqued he is and the smirk on his face does little to ingratiate himself with the fans. Their reaction is a pretty heavy set of boos. As he walks down the aisle, he ignores the people attempting to touch him. Hell, he ignores anybody in his presence entirely, opting instead to tilt his nose and continue his smirk.
As he reaches ringside, he hops onto the apron before jumping over the top rope. He finds a nearby turnbuckle and spreads his arms again, showcasing his toned body much to the jeers of the crowd. He nods and smirks, chuckling to himself for a few moments. He hops down and tosses his vest to the floor. He then stands in the ring as his music fades away.
Ethan Miller:: Ladies and gentlemen. Introducing, much to your viewing pleasure. Hailing from The Palace of Paradise in St. Petersburg, Florida. Weighing tonight at a stunning 197 pounds. He is the CURRENT...and longest REIGNING...CBS All Access X Champion...he is THE...Young Dynasty. Roddy...ZALEZ!Roddy spreads his arms as the crowd starts to hail him with boos.
Chris Avery: This is a cross-divisional showdown for CBS All-Access X Championship brought to you by Paramount+!Katta Pult: The ONLY network where you can stream all 40 seasons of Survivor AND every AW Network special!Chris Avery: This is AMERICAN MADE, and while my partner Billy is checking on the ribs on the grill, I’m joined by an American icon, Katta Pult! Welcome to the big desk, Katta!Katta Pult: You need a bigger table when you have to sit next to a 300-pound whale.Chris Avery: Now that’s not very nice, Katta! This is a chance for you to endear yourself to AW faithful! All three of those in the ring aren’t the biggest fan-favorites…Cassidy sits back and observes as Karlie starts off fast, dictating the pace in an attempt to put Zalez off balance. She gets a kick to the leg to start and drives Zalez back against the ropes. He fires back with some stiff punches but most of them connect with air as Karlie dodges. She takes him over with a snapmare and nails a springboard dropkick to the neck as Zalez starts to get up. She follows up with a knee to the midsection but Zalez catches it and rolls her over, right into a kneebar. The crowd gasps at the reversal, but the excitement is short-lived when Cassidy storms in and catches Zalez with a boot to the head. Now with Karlie and Cass on their feet, she goes for another speedy kick, definitely targeting every inch of her opponent's body. Adler pushes her back with a few hard strikes before he runs her down with a shoulder block. Bouncing back up, Adler runs at the ropes looking for another shoulder block… but Zalez connects with a spear on Adler out of nowhere! Adler rolls out of the ring gasping for breath as Zalez taunts him. But Karlie takes Roddy down with a sunset flip and bridges for a pin.

Zalez kicks out with authority and rolls up to his knees, shaking off the cobwebs. Karlie grabs him in a headlock and he takes her over with a belly to back suplex, hanging on for his own pinfall attempt.

NO!
Chris Avery: Fast-paced action here tonight! Cassidy tried to pick his spot and Roddy was having none of it!Katta Pult: And Karlie using her elite athleticism only my fellow Olympians would ever understand. Karlie goes for the knee again but Roddy dodges. He misses when he tries to change the tide with a springboard knee. Instead he collides with the corner, bashing his knee on the middle turnbuckle. Cassidy laughs and yells out “WHAT A NERD!” as Zalez rolls out to the floor, clearly in pain. Cassidy, still outside, uses this as a moment to soften Zalez up. Following a kick to the midsection, he bends Roddy’s knee and slams him down with a knee breaker on the steps! The crowd starts booing as Cassidy throws him into the guardrail, slapping him across the face!
Chris Avery: How disrespectful!Katta Pult: Wait a minute— The crowd goes insane as Karlie flies in though the air, hitting a top rope diving body press to the floor! Both Cassidy and Roddy are laid out, and there’s a murmur in the crowd. She pops back up and turns around, listening to the crowd slowly start to build up a “KARLIE! KARLIE!” chant!
Chris Avery: Well there you have it! The crowd has chosen who they will get behind tonight, and it’s Karlie Nash! I don’t think she’s used to this!Katta Pult: And her little womanizing heart grew ten times on this American Made Day.Karlie is indeed a little distracted by the reception. Cassidy lurches to his feet and dives after her, clotheslining her right into the apron, almost taking her head off in the process. He dabs over her body as she goes down hard, clutching at her neck as the crowd gets restless. Zalez staggers up and pulls himself back into the ring, trying to walk off the damage to his own knee.
Adler rolls back into the ring, dodging a telegraphed punch and taking Zalez down with a dropkick to the same knee he just injured. He goes down hard but he never notices Karlie back in the ring, and she returns the favor… this time with a Clothesline From Hell! The Unsportsmanlike Conduct! Adler flips all the way out of the ring with the impact, and after yelling at him a bit, her attention diverts back to Zalez. She immediately traps him in a side leglock, further punishing him. Zalez strains for the ropes and gets the break by a fingertip. Nash keeps the hold on for a few seconds longer, earning herself a warning from the referee. Back up, Zalez nails a shaky waistlock suplex but can't capitalize when his knee buckles. He backs up to the ropes, giving Karlie space to get up while he gets a breather.
Chris Avery: Wait… what’s going on? Get out of here, kid!Cassidy Adler: Scoot on over, toots.Katta Pult: Oh, um… welcome to the desk, Cass.Cassidy Adler: I know you got room for me back here with the jumbo-sized chair for the 300-pound whale that usually sits here.Katta Pult: THAT’S WHAT I SAID!Katta Pult looks like she’s crushing on Cassidy a little as he smirks at her.
Cassidy Adler: No thanks, babe - I don’t do broads that look like overgrown poodles.Karlie charges in and blindsides Zalez with a tornado DDT. She floats over for a cover but Zalez rolls her over into an STF! Once again, she gets the rope break and what little momentum he's won back stalls out completely. The two circle in the middle of the ring, both wearing identical expressions of determination as the crowd holds their breath. He grabs Karlie around the waist, but she breaks off, slipping behind and taking him down with a rolling neck slap before wrapping her legs around his body and transitioning to a choke hold. Bucking, Zalez slams the back of his head into her face, almost breaking her nose in the process of breaking the hold. He rolls aside and springs off the second rope, going for a kneedrop to the shoulder that misses as Karlie just rolls away at the last possible second. Back on their feet, she comes in hard with a jumping enziguri that Zalez manages to catch. He dumps her on her back and goes for another kneebar as the crowd goes nuts again.
Chris Avery: The crowd is loving this exchange! What a great effort of grit and determination these two have shown tonight!Cassidy Adler: I’m in this match too, dick.Chris Avery: Are you?Cassidy Adler: I’m just picking my moment.Karlie breaks the hold and lands another dropkick to the knee that sends Zalez staggering back. His knee buckles again and she goes for a dragon screw leg whip, only to have Zalez counter it with a jumping enziguri! The smack on the side of her face echoes in the arena, and it takes a moment for them both to engage again. The two brawl back and forth for a few seconds, neither really getting the upper hand before Karlie slips around behind Zalez on a grapple and sends him into the corner. His knee buckles and grabs the rope to keep from falling, only to have Karlie nail a text german suplex. She targets the knee again, pulling him into the corner to try a ring post figure-four, but Zalez breaks out and kicks her off the apron, her head smacking the turnpost! Zalez slides out and begins pummelling her hard with a knife-edge chops. Staggering back up, he waits for her to come at him again, deliberately eating her strikes before he manages to get close enough to lock his hands around her waist. Zalez scoops her up and tosses her onto his shoulder, taking her over with a huge powerslam, her back breaking over the steel steps!! Zalez rolls her back in the ring, and she’s motionless as Zalez crawls over her body! He hooks the leg!
