SINGLES MATCH
★★★ MICHAEL CADE ★★★
vs
★★★ ROBERT ZODIAC ★★★
★★★ MICHAEL CADE ★★★
vs
★★★ ROBERT ZODIAC ★★★
The bell rings and Zodiac rushes in and drop steps behind Cade and grabs him in a rear waist lock. Cade wastes no time in breaking the grip, immediately transitioning into a side headlock. Zodiac starts elbowing him in the side, loosening the grip on his head enough for Zodiac to shove him off towards the ropes. Cade bounces off and Zodiac drops down in an attempt to trip him. Cade jumps over him but Zodiac springs up to his feet and rushes towards Cade, catching him in the midsection with a knee lift directly into the ribs.
Zodiac grabs him by the arm and pulls him down with an arm drag, putting him in an armbar but Cade is quick to make his way to the ropes and break the hold. Zodiac releases the armbar and rolls backwards before standing up, Cade quickly getting back to his feet before the two are face to face. Zodiac nods and holds his hand out but Cade quickly slaps it away and kicks him in the midsection before he smirks and palms Zodiacs face, shoving him back. Zodiac looks up and his eyes grow wide and he grits his teeth before rushing in and tackling Cade to the ground and raining down forearms that force him to cover his face. Cade manges to reach up and drive his fingers into Zodiacs eyes, taking advantage of the situation.
Zodiac manages to create an opening and separates himself from Cade. Cade wastes no time in going back in after Zodiac as he rocks him with a dropkick directly to the jaw, forcing Zodiac to stumble backwards towards the corner. Cade bounces back to his feet and begins charging towards Zodiac in the corner, but he gets his boots up and connects with both feet into Cades face. He takes a short run out of the corner and delivers a bicycle knee lift that staggers Cade back a few steps, Zodiac quickly follows up by running up and connecting with a shotgun dropkick directly into the corner!
Zodiac quickly rolls back to his feet and runs towards Cade in the corner before stepping up on the bottom rope, then jumping up to the middle on the other side of him before blasting him in the side of the head with a roundhouse kick that drops Cade! Cade is now slumped in the corner and Zodiac drops down to the mat before charging towards the opposite corner, lines himself up and points at Cade before running back towards him and connecting with a cannonball senton! Cade collapses the rest of the way to the mat before Zodiac pulls him into the middle of the ring. He hooks the leg as the ref drops down to count 1...2…KICKOUT!
Cade throws his shoulder up to break the pin attempt, but is clearly still rattled after that kick followed up with the senton in the corner. Zodiac simply nods and he gets back up to his feet, reaching down so he can grab Cade by the wrist, dragging him back up before Cade lets out a thunderous roar and turns Zodiac inside out with a huge clothesline!
Zodiac creates a degree of separation and takes advantage by attacking his ribs to the point where he can get away from Cade, quickly retreating to the nearest corner. Cade wastes little time in pressing the attack, charging towards Zodiac in the corner. This time, he hops over Cade and delivers a Code Red before rolling backwards out of the pin.
He quickly jumps up onto the middle rope and then up to the top, turning himself around to face the audience. He holds his hands out to the sides before jumping off and twisting himself mid air and front flipping to crash down onto Cade as he rolls through the impact! Zodiac quickly scrambles back and gets Cade pinned with a high stack as the referee drops down to count the 1...2…NEAR FALL!
Cade barely manages to pop his shoulder up off the mat and Zodiac immediately falls backwards with his hands on his head, wondering what he has to do. He quickly regains his composure and follows up but is met with an upkick that stuns him long enough for Cade to recover and press the opening!
Zodiac manages to create separation by rolling out of the ring, but Cade is not far behind him. Cade grabs him by the shoulder and spins him around before staggering him back with a forearm shot to the jaw, but Zodiac recovers quickly and returns with a forearm of his own as the referee begins to count them out!
…1!
…2!
…3!
Zodiac gains the upper hand as he starts to wear Cade down, forcing Cade back to the barrier with a series of forearms and back elbows.
…4!
…5!
Zodiac backs up to create distance between the two before he charges back in towards Cade, hitting him with a huge dropkick that shoves the barrier back at least 2 or 3 feet!
…6!
…7!
Zodiac grabs Cade and drags him by the head before slamming his face into the post. He rolls him back into the ring and climbs up onto the top rope and measures Cade as he stands up, waiting for him to get back to his feet. As soon as Cade turns around he leaps off and sends Cade head over heels with a flying hurricanrana!! He roars as he gets back to his feet and drags Cade up in a front chancery before hooking both arms, hooking Cades inside leg with his own and flipping them both so Cade is dropped on the back of his head with the Dead Silence!
Zodiac quickly gets back up, shaking his head as he knows it will take more to put him away and backs up so he can stay behind him as he gets up. He winds up and instead of attempting a lariat, Zodiac clobbers him in the back of the head with a vicious rolling elbow! This doesn't drop him, so Zodiac wastes little time in grabbing Cade by the head and jumping up, turning his body so he can place his shin behind the head and neck of Cade before crashing back down to the mat with a brutal Crimson Sunrise!!! He rolls Cade over and hooks the leg for the 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall is…ROBERT—ZODIAC!
CHARLES HUDSON: Robert Zodiac with an impressive win here tonight!
MCKAYLA LEWIS: It’s almost a different side of Zodiac. I mean he’s known to be the “most-dangerous man in Mainstream Wrestling” but instead of focusing on inflicting pain he’s actually been more successful.
CHARLES HUDSON: I would agree Lou. Robert Zodiac is a former World Television Champion and a finalist in this past Pinnacle Battle Royal. He has all the potential in the world but until lately he was letting it all fall by the wayside.
MCKAYLA LEWIS: Maybe Michael Cade can have that shoulder looked at later tonight and get a good report from the doctor. But congratulations to Robert Zodiac on a huge win and what a way to kickoff a jam packed night of Mainstream Wrestling!
