Irate that Oney Lorcan caused him to get stitches in his ear, Ariya Daivari sought to get even last week during the Fatal 4-Way Match to determine WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese’s next challenger. Late in the match, as the action spilled to the outside, The Persian Lion attacked Lorcan with a steel chair, effectively taking him out of the match. Of course, the best place for Lorcan and Daivari to settle their differences is inside the squared circle.
With Daivari waiting in the ring, Lorcan walked to the ring with purpose, ready for a fight. As the bell rang, the Boston brawler charged forward and took down The Persian Lion with a massive uppercut. Lorcan remained relentless, attacking his nemesis with reckless abandon and brute force.
Seemingly outmatched, Daivari bailed to the outside and even tried to escape the arena. However, Lorcan didn’t let The Persian Lion leave his sight, continuing to pummel Daivari inside the ring. Displaying incredible resilience, Daivari struck back with a superkick to turn the match in his favor.
Looking to slow the pace of the match, Daivari delivered an armbar off the top rope, causing tremendous damage to Lorcan’s left arm. Showing off his aggressive nature, Daivari isolated Lorcan’s left arm and tossed him into the turnbuckle, keeping the pace in his favor.
Ever the resilient warrior, Lorcan showed off his strength when he escaped the Million Dollar Dream by rising to his feet and driving Daivari into the turnbuckles to break the hold. However, The Persian Lion quickly recalibrated, again targeting Lorcan’s injured arm and maximizing punishment. Ascending the ropes for a Lion Splash, Daivari believed victory was in sight as he launched off the ropes, but Lorcan rolled away.
Feeding off the energy of the WWE Universe, Lorcan mustered the energy and strength to strike back at Daivari and unload a series of uppercuts, only to be stopped by a superkick. As Daivari again attempted to attack Lorcan’s arm, the Boston brawler executed the Half and Half suplex.
However, Daivari rolled out of the ring, and despite a fired-up Lorcan pursuing his opponent, Daivari sacrificed victory in favor of brutalizing Lorcan by attacking him with a chair. Despite being disqualified, Daivari engaged in a vicious dismantling of Lorcan around the ring before throwing him into the LED board on the entranceway. As officials tried to help Lorcan, Daivari delivered one more exclamation point by crushing his rival with a Hammerlock Lariat on the entrance stage.
