Best of 7, match #4
Andre Holmes vs. L Verez(c)
A slow but assuring guitar riff broken up in a DJent pattern starts playing with the lights in the arena shutting off to illuminate gray colored images of Andre Holmes on the titantron. "All Is Gone" Kandia suddenly begins with lights flashing, and dancing around highlighting different sections of the arena. He walks out from the back wearing the black hoodie over his head, his ring attire on. Cheers are increasing like giant waves on the beach to him as he stands on the center stage surveying the crowd with a big smile on his face. Walking down the entrance path, he pauses until hearing the lyrics.
"Where....are....you?"
A rise of smoke emerges behind him in single-line fashion as he stops center of the entrance path to raise his arms in the air, and a release a primal scream.
Adilene Floyd: Introducing on his way to the ring! Hailing from Houston, Texas! At five feet, nine inches tall, weighing in at 201 pounds. He is "Relentless" Andre Holmes!
Afterward, the lights return back to normal, and he walks down to the ring while mingling with some of his fans at ringside. Climbing up onto the apron, he quickly runs to leap onto the middle rope. A spotlight emerges behind him to cloak him in a silhouette with smoke pushing upwards for that shadow effect. Hopping over the top rope, he lands inside the ring to stay in an unoccupied corner where he removes his hoodie and tosses it to the outside. Standing in an unoccupied corner, Andre warms up, and he tightens the strap on his MMA Gloves waiting for his opponent to come out.
Billy: Last week we had an upset in the Best of 7 Series between Andre and Verez when she pinned Andre and took back the TV title!
Chris Avery: Andre looks determined here tonight though. I see him picking up win number 3!
The lights bleed a deep indigo color as Tetris by DJ Dahi plays through the PA system. L Verez slowly steps to the stage. Right before the beat drops, L hits a 360° spin, dropping along with the bass. Flashing lavender lights follow along the deep bassy hits, as L poses on one knee, with her left arm outstretched with the Vulcan salute. She stands, her rounded sunglasses shining through as she whimsically walks down the ramp, colliding Vulcan salutes with some fans in the corner along the way.
Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring, from Planet Quartex, weighing in at 125 pounds, she is "Not of this World" L VEEEREEEZ!!
L makes it to ringside, taking her sunglasses off and handing them to the announcer. She jumps onto the apron and heads up to the turnbuckles. As the beat roboticly intensifies, L sits atop the turnbuckle and does the Vulcan salute once more. She closes her eyes as she takes in the reaction of the crowd. She flips backwards down, and repeats the process on the opposite turnbuckle. L flips down once more, and sits crosslegged by the bottom turnbuckle, meditating as she anticipates her match.
Billy: I don’t know about that comment about Andre picking up number 3! L Verez looks hungry for another win and wanting to tie up the series!
Chris Avery: You may be right, Billy! These two are absolute warriors!
The referee signals for the bell to begin the match.
The two go to lock up but Verez feints and hits some open palm strikes, backing Andre into the corner. She lays into Andre with a series of forearms to the head and whips him across the ring. Andre reverses the whip and hits a bicycle kick, knocking Verez through the ropes and to the outside.
Billy: Ouch! Hard spill there for Verez!
Chris Avery: HEAT SEEKING MISSILE BY ANDRE!!
Billy: SHITFIRE! He’s pulling out the big moves right away and just took Verez out at ringside!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Andre grabs Verez and executes a capture suplex at ringside before pulling her to her feet and rolling her back into the ring. Andre follows Verez into the ring and sends her across the ring, hitting a big powerslam in the middle and going for the pin.
1...2..NO!!
Billy: Wow! A two count already on Verez?!
Chris Avery: She may be the champ but that doesn’t mean she’s immune to big moves!
Andre locks in an armbar but Verez fights her way to the ropes and Andre is forced to break the hold. Andre goes for a suplex, but Verez blocks it and hits a three amigos suplex and follows it up with a huge frog splash from the top rope!
Billy: They just keep going with the high risk moves!
Chris Avery: They both want it and Andre just kicked out before the 2 count!
Verez hits an Olympic Slam and then a bulldog and rolls Andre up for another pin attempt.
1...2..NO! Andre kicks out!
Verez executes an Oklahoma pin.

Billy: Holy shit that was a close one!
Chris Avery: Yeah, Verez caught Andre off guard with that one!
Verez charges at Holmes, looking to end this but Andre catches her for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Andre hits a Liger bomb and goes for the pin attempt.
1...2..NO!! Verez kicks out.
Andre grabs Verez by the head and hits a tornado DDT and then a ghetto stomp!
Billy: Andre should be going for the pin here, but he wants to make Verez tap instead!
Chris Avery: Yeah, he’s got the Camel Clutch locked in tight!
But Verez gets to her feet and slams Andre back into the turnbuckles! She hits a series of elbow strikes to the head of Andre before sending him across the ring. Verez hits a huge overhead belly-to-belly suplex!
Verez hits a DDT and follows it up with a gator roll and then locks in a sleeper hold. Andre starts fading but the crowd rallies behind him and he fights his way out of the hold. He sends Verez across the ring but she hits a codebreaker on Andre on the return and goes for the pin.
1...2...NO!! Andre just gets the shoulder up.
Andre reverses an irish whip and hits a huge spinebuster on Verez. Verez is dropped with a Bloody Sunday DDT and after a gutwrench suplex, Andre goes for the pin.

Billy: HIGH RISK MOVE THERE!
1...2...NO! Verez just gets the shoulder up.
Chris Avery: Andre’s got L Verez on his shoulders...HOLMES ON THE RANGE TO VEREZ!!
Billy: She looks knocked out! This could be it!!
1...2...NO!! Verez gets the shoulder up at the last second!
Billy: Wow! Verez is determined to tie up this series!
Verez gets up to her knees and Andre goes to finish her off, but she rolls out of the way of his superkick. Verez hits a judo throw and nails a bicycle superkick. Verez locks in a scorpion deathlock, but Andre makes it to the ropes.
Billy: Andre is on his feet and so is the crowd….THE BIG BANG TO ANDRE HOLMES!!
Chris Avery: Beautiful execution there by L Verez and she goes for the pin!

Billy: Wow that was so close!!

Billy: YESSS SHE HITS IT!! Andre is down!! Verez is going for the pin!!

DING DING DING
Tetris by DJ Dahi plays through the PA system as Verez rises to her feet, victorious. The referee hands her the TV title which she holds up proudly. Andre rolls out of the ring and nods at Verez in respect.
Billy: What a big win by Verez! She just tied this series up 2-2!!
Chris Avery: Yeah, both of these two pulled out all the stops, but Verez just edged out for the win!
