Lazaro Vicente vs. Teo Blaze(c)
The finale of CruiserClash is about to come to an unexpected end especially considering the next bout on the card. The main event of this highly built match is where the defending champion of the brand, Teo Blaze, must face the awarded contender Lazaro Vincente. Many of the fans inside the FedEx Forum are interested to know who could be walking out of Memphis, Tennessee with the brand's biggest prize. However, to give more clarity behind this match, the broadcast transitions to the commentary section for Katta Pult and Jimmy Garcia to explain what crazy action the fans are in for the night.
Jimmy Garcia: Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally arrived at the main event of CruiserClash! The cruiserweight championship is up for grabs as Teo Blaze is defending against Lazaro Vicente! Both men are prepared to put their all on the line to walk out of Memphis the leader of this brand although many have differing opinions on the state of this match.Katta Pult: Let's address the obvious elephant in the room, Jimmy. Lazaro was awarded this opportunity thanks to our general manager, Joey Bunga, by losing to Serenity Holmes in last week's main event All-In qualifier. You can understand that many including our champion, Teo Blaze, are against this idea but that doesn't change the fact he's willing to bring down the house to keep his belt.Jimmy Garcia: But Lazaro Vincente has been itching at the opportunity to become the new cruiserweight champion. Most importantly, his primary target has been Teo Blaze. His family comes from a prestigious background in the Lucha libre scene where he has respected Teo Blaze. Still, now he has the opportunity to dethrone the argued cruiserweight greatest of all time! Could that mean a chance to redeem himself into the All-In ladder match at Uprising?!Katta Pult: Wow. Teo Blaze believes Lazaro Vincente was awarded an opportunity that he doesn't deserve yet Lazaro Vincente believes Teo Blaze isn't the rightful representative of Lucha Libre. It seems both men are despising one another because they believe they don't fit the image of what they hold best. Who would have ever thought the cruiserweight championship main event would hold so much weight?The opening introduction to a mariachi-founded instrumental beat of drums and guitar incites a mixed reaction from the Memphis audience. From the backstage area appears Lazaro Vincente sporting his wrestling attire for the biggest match of his life. He stands center-stage in front of a sold-out FedEx Forum staring at the sea of fans before throwing his two index fingers above his head cueing the pyrotechnic team to launch a shower of golden sparks to fall like rain on the stage.
Crowd: IDOLO! IDOLO! IDOLO! IDOLO! IDOLO!
Lazaro marches down the narrow pathway to the ring interacting with fans on the way. He shakes a couple of hands, embraces the ones who have supported him, and continues strolling down to become a champion. The contender pauses on his march before the stairs to take one good look around the interior of the venue before climbing up to the apron. It seems his family has traveled to be by ringside to support him hence why he's feeling confident tonight.
Katta Pult: The Vincente family is here tonight in support of the number one contender. Lazaro has stated multiple times that becoming cruiserweight champion has meant so much to him. Tonight, he faces the man that he targeted for so long and he's willing to go through hell just to become cruiserweight champion!With a thumbs up from his father, he quickly stands onto the middle rope outside of the ring. A great glance at the entirety of the audience has them going in full support as he raises both his fingers to the sky. The fans below are very appreciative of his optimism and edging to see what he could bring to defeat the near-unstoppable Teo Blaze as he hops over the top rope into the ring.
Jimmy Garcia: Many have criticized this man for being awarded this opportunity but he's in a position to silence all the naysayers. If Golden Idolo can defeat Teo Blaze, he would have pulled the upset of the year and become the new cruiserweight champion. This means he will be the one carrying the flag for CruiserClash and making his family proud!The lights begin flashing wildly, alternating between plain white light and dark red shades, as a haunting, almost sinister sound fills the arena. Suddenly, a roaring guitar riff echoes throughout the arena as a crash of static appears on the screens, followed by a message:
Technical Difficulties, Please do not Adjust your Set.
Then, without warning, the static is consumed by a smiling, dark red face as the ramp lights up with a burst of flame! The instant the flames fade, standing in the center, as though the flames themselves had summoned him, is Teo Blaze. He wears a bright red and gold mask over his face, matching the face that appeared on the Tron moments ago.
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He turns towards the ring, his head hanging slightly to one side limply, even unnaturally, then slowly, he reaches up, and with his left hand...he removes the mask to reveal his face, an expression of wild abandon etched across it, a crooked smile showing a row of bright teeth. With a sinister laugh, he begins walking purposefully towards the ring, his eyes wild with anticipation- yet there is a determined swagger in his step, and as he walks up the stairs to the ring.
Jimmy Garcia: The reigning cruiserweight champion has arrived in Memphis, Tennessee! He's looking to defend his cruiserweight championship against Golden Idolo and he has said that Lazaro doesn't deserve this opportunity. His opinions of his opponent are very strong but that doesn't mean he's taking him lightly.He holds out the mask in front of him with one hand, the smile on his face matching the mask's smile perfectly. Finally, he steps into the ring, stretching loosely and preparing for the match. Teo remains in his corner holding the cruiserweight championship belt in his hands before holding it over his right shoulder.
Katta Pult: Teo Blaze is arguably the greatest cruiserweight in Action Wrestling history. This man has culminated in what it means to represent this brand. Tonight, he will do everything in his power to show why he is the face of CruiserClash!Jimmy Garcia: Well, we need to find out who will be walking out of Memphis with the gold.

Both competitors leave their corners simultaneously and circle the ring keeping an equal distance. The two close the distance between them and lock up in the center of the ring.

Before Idolo can react, he switches into the Side Headlock before taking his body over into the Side Headlock Takedown!

He quickly catches Teo with a kick into his ribs before launching him to the ropes behind him.
