Anderson: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!
Introducing first, from Paris, France, weighing 220 pounds, Flex Mussél!
Flex poses a bit on the stage, but then walks to the ring with a sense of purpose. He rolls into the ring and poses on the second turnbuckle in each corner, but forgoes most of his usual theatrics.
Connor: Do you think recent events are weighing on Flex? He has seemed off in recent weeks.
Cohen: Flex has been known to play a mind game or two, and I think that is simply what he is doing.
Anderson: And his partner, from Fort Worth, Texas, weighing 295 pounds, Stetson Hayes!
Hayes is a little more theatrical as he makes his way from the curtain. He takes off his hat to some boos and laughs as he is booed. He gets to the ring and has a talk with Flex, likely talking strategy.
Connor: This isn't the first time these two have had a partnership. If you recall at Lethal Lottery, they formed a very formidable duo, tossing opponents out left and right.
Cohen: Until Stetson turned on Flex, but that won't happen again. They will be laser focused on the task at hand.
And their opponents....
Titus' name plate comes on screen just before we fade to black for a commercial.
Back from break and Tastic is in the ring arguing with Titus who rolls out of the ring and goes over to the commentary table.
Connor: Looks like we will have some company.
Cohen: Welcome to the other side Mr. Avison. What brings you over?
Titus: Matt Tastic things he has something to prove, so I'm letting him. I have bigger fish to fry at Kingdom Come. Tastic could tap out in five seconds for all I care.
Referee Felix Springfield calls for the bell, but Stetson wastes no time in charging Tastic and knocking him to the mat with a shoulder tackle. He stomps away as Tastic crawls into the ropes, at which point he backs off long enough to his opponent to get out of the ropes. He then rushes back in and knocks Tastic into the corner and starts to kick away until the referee steps in to force the break. Stetson argues a little before he goes to grab Tastic by the back of the head and connects with a headbutt and causes him to stagger back into the corner. Stetson then climbs to the second turnbuckle and hammers down with punches...One!...Two!...all the way until the ninth. He makes his beer drinking gesture, but Tastic takes the small break to shove him away. Stetson lands and tries to get his balance and Tastic hits a dropkick. He looks back to his corner, but Titus isn't there.
Titus: He told me he had this and didn't need me.
Connor: Seems low to abandon your partner like that.
Cohen: You heard him, that idiot Tastic said he had it.
Tastic gets to his feet, but Flex has tagged in. The two lock up but Flex is too powerful and gets a rear waistlock. He drives Tastic down by kneeing him in the back of the leg. From there he switches around to a sort of bulldog choke, making sure to not illegally cut off the air flow and cause the ref to break the hold. Tastic tries to fight up, but Flex shows off his strength by picking him up and tossing him down with a gourd buster. Flex can't help but pose a little as he knows few could have pulled off that dead lift. Flex keeps the pressure up with a single leg crab, trying to make sure that Tastic stays grounded. Tastic is too close to the ropes though and is able to crawl his way over with a little effort. Titus can be heard scoffing as Flex pulls him away from the ropes and drags him up by his hair. The ref motions to stop so Flex Irish whips him across the ring. Flex readies for the Flexicution, but Tastic is wise to it and ducks. He springboards and hits a sidekick, the Flying Power Kick. Flex tumbles into the ropes, where his arm gets trapped as he falls. Tastic is down and trying to catch his breath as Stetson tries to free Flex. He crawls to his corner but again Titus isn't there.
Connor: This has essentially turned into a handicap match.
Cohen: Matt Tastic did this to himself.
Titus: He insisted before the match that he had this. So I'm letting him have it.
Flex gets free, but Hayes tags himself in. He rushes Tastic who is on his feet and connects with a big boot, knocking him back down. He then drags him over to the corner with Flex and tags Flex in. He isolates an arm and Flex kicks him in it as Hayes gets out of the ring. Flex scoops Tastic up and slams him down before he tags Hayes back. The two then drop simultaneous elbows onto the Hall of Famer. Hayes then drags him up and shoves him into the corner and connects with some hard knife edge chops. He then tags Flex in, but not before he scoops Tastic up and hits a back breaker. Flex, who had climbed onto the second turnbuckle, jumps and drops a knee onto Tastic, who was still elevated on Stetson's knee. Flex makes the cover...One!...Two!...kick out by Tastic. Flex looks at the ref annoyed before he grabs a side headlock on Tastic. He pulls on the hold despite Tastic trying to fight up. The Puerto Rican throws elbows and fists into the midsection of Flex and works to a position so he can lift Flex and drop with him a back suplex. Flex hits his head on the bottom turnbuckle and both men are out. Hayes reaches over, but can't reach his partner to make the tag. He leans through the ropes and yells to get Flex up. Tastic is still dazed.
Titus: Fine.
Titus takes off the headset and climbs onto the apron. Tastic makes the tag and Titus storms into the ring, an absolute ball of fire. He takes Flex down with a clothesline. Flex stumbles to his feet so Titus hits a dropkick. Hayes storms into the ring, so Titus ducks a big lariat attempt and connects with a reverse DDT. Hayes rolls out of the ring just as Titus springboards off the ropes and connects with a hurricanrana on Flex, who rolls out of the ring. Titus then runs to the far end of the ring and bounces off the ropes and readies for a big leap over, only to pull up short. He brushes his hands at the crowd who boo him.
Cohen: Haha, what a tease. I love it. These Mexican fans were hyped up to see some high flying and Titus denied them.
Connor: We are in Peru, Jack.
Cohen: What's the difference?
Titus waits for Flex to roll back into the ring and the two old foes square off. Flex catches him with a right hand so Titus fire back with a forearm. They trade a few blows until Flex connects with a kick. He gets an abdominal stretch on, getting Titus in some trouble. The Hall of Famer can't fight out as Flex starts to wrench back on the ankle, trying to lock in his patented unique version. Titus is able to throw off Flex's balance just enough reach out and tag Tastic, who gets in and clubs Flex to break the hold. He connects with big foreamrs to the face of Flex and backs him into the corner. He switches to a punch and then chop combo to soften his opponent up before he retreats to the far corner. He then runs and connects with a dropkick to Flex. He pulls him out of the corner and makes the cover...One!...Two!...Flex kicks out. Tastic pulls him to his feet and whips him back into the corner. He goes for a corner splash, but Hayes tags himself in and moves Flex, leaving Tastic to crash into the corner. Hayes then grabs Tastic from behind and connects with a belly to back suplex. Tastic tries to immediately get to his feet but stumbles into the corner. Titus tags himself in as Stetson charges. Tastic falls just in time to avoid a big boot, leaving Hayes to get his foot hung on the top rope. Titus rolls Hayes up with a school boy from the corner...One!...Two!...The ref stops counting as Titus had his feet on the ropes. Titus argues with the ref as Hayes starts to stir. Tastic tags himself back in, much to the chagrin of Titus. He reluctantly exits the ring, upset. Tastic gets Hayes in position and connects with a lariat neckbreaker, taking him down and makes a cover...One!...Two!...Hayes kicks out. Tastic looks a little frustrated but looks to Titus. He grabs Hayes and hits an inverted atomic drop before tagging Titus in. Titus then springboards in and takes Hayes down with a springboard bulldog, as Tastic still had him in position for the move. Titus makes a cover as Tastic exits the ring...One!...Two!...the ref stops the count as Hayes got a foo ton the ropes despite Tastic trying to kick it off. Hayes stirs a bit so Tastic jumps back onto the apron and tags himself back in. Titus is furious and the two start to argue.
Connor: Looks like things are breaking down.
Titus and Tastic continue to argue back and forth.
Titus: You want it so bad? Then take it.
Titus rolls out of the ring and starts to walk up the ramp. Tastic watches him and yells back at him. He turns back to the match, only to be hit with Flexicution. The discus lariat causing him to flip through the air. Flex makes the cover...One!...Two!...Three! The fighting between the two Hall of Famers cost them in the end as Tastic was distracted and missed Flex tagging in. Flex goes to the corner to pose as Stetson makes the ref raise his hand in victory.
Anderson: Here are your winners, Flex Mussel and Stetson Hayes!
Connor: Just a complete breakdown in communication and in the end it cost them.
Cohen: On paper this match favored Tastic and Titus but Tastic insisted on tagging himself in and Titus was having none of it and now they both get a L next to their name on the official record.
