[Lochlyn Cade.]
The backstage area of Northern Pro Wrestling finds many of the best that the promotion has to offer. It’s potentially the best group of talent of any locker room across the landscape of professional wrestling. We had previously found the opposite of this scenario standing at the catering table making a sandwich on August 3rd. It’s where Lochlyn Cade made his backstage arrival in NPW.
We now find Shane Severe down the hall, standing in front of a mirror, as he admires his few weeks progress in his newly acquired diet and exercise regime. He’s looking from his left and then his right before flexing his biceps, triceps, and then his abs. It there out of nowhere a hand comes in and smacks him hard across his abdomen. He expels the air from his lungs as he both flinches and shrieks in the unexpected blow.
“Hey kid, you’ve started showing some abs there; impressive.”
Lochlyn Cade again reveals himself to the jobber of the stars.
“Those washboard abs aren’t doing your lungs any services though. I think maybe you should start jogging more. Get that wind built up and you’ll really be ready to make a showing to these other guys inside of the ring. Here let me show you?”
Lochlyn Cade squares up and puts his hands behind his neck and flexes.
“Take your shot kid.”
Severe unsure if he should potentially instigate a reaction just stares as if he’s a deer in headlights.
“Come on Shane! Let’s see what you got and if you can cause the wind to expel from my Championship caliber sails.”
Shane looks to his left and then to his right, hoping that anyone would step in, he unfortunately finds nobody else in the area. He shrugs his shoulders and plants his feet as he begins to bring his hand backwards readying himself to strike the blow. He pauses and looks up towards Lochlyn’s eyes before bringing his attention again upon his target. He beings to place his weight onto his front foot as his shoulder stiffens as his hand is brought with all his force.
WHACK!
Shane Severe yelps in pain grabbing his hand just after it strikes the wall. It the last possible moment Lochlyn Cade moves dodging the potential blow. The Promethean lets out a slight chuckle as he places his hand on Shane Severe’s shoulder.
“Kid, you’ve got to keep your eye on your opponent. You’ve got to strike immediately and not dilly dally around like you’ve got all the time in the world. You’ve been sharpening your body the last few weeks but now you’ve got to sharpen your mind.
Alright, put some ice on that hand and next time strike quick, don’t hesitate, I’ve got a feeling you’re gonna be ready in a few weeks.”
Lochlyn laughs as he begins to walk out of the room.
“Okay, I’ve got a Champ to beat kid. I’ll see ya around next time.”
The Promethean walks towards his Northern Pro opportunity of proving himself. He’s got a date with Jay Stevens and he plans on striking while the iron is hot and determined to show what he’s capable of accomplishing.

8.25.21 | Non Title Match | 30 Minute Time Limit | Jay Stevens (c) vs. Lochlyn Cade
--
Hot off a successful defense of his Cruiserweight Championship against Marcus Smith; Jay Stevens was tasked with a new challenger in the Northern Pro circuit. This time, it was a man by the name of Lochlyn Cade. In his debut match, Lochlyn took Johnny Sniper to the limit with his abrasive no nonsense style, using his own body as a torpedo to inflict damage when he could. Lochlyn Cade was still a mystery to NPW fans and talent alike. Tonight Jay Stevens would have to find a way to unravel the new superstar, if he hoped to keep the momentum rolling.
“Born for This” by Royal Deluxe screams throughout the arena as ‘The Promethean’ Lochlyn Cade comes out and stands at the enter of the entrance. Lochlyn Cade shows up in his normal crimson and black gear with the words Blood Harvester stitched down the left leg. His face, as normal, is covered by that of a horror themed mask; this one fashioned into that of Freddy Kruger and his right hand is adorned by the now infamous glove of razors extending from the fingers. His manager and girlfriend Vivian Rae Jade comes out onto the stage with a microphone in hand. She begins speaking as Lochlyn makes his way towards the ring.
Vivian Rae: Ladies and gentlemen, and kiddos of all ages! I’m proud to present to you The Promethean, the Blood Harvester, and the man who represents the NecroCore Auditorium! Coming from the Road of Ruin… LOCHLYN CADE!
Once Lochlyn Cade comes to the ringside area he removes the glove, the mask, and his hoodie which reveals the NecroCore Auditorium shirt beneath. He steps onto the steel steps and comes to a stop on the apron. He pulls off the NecroCore shirt and tosses it into the crowd. He then steps between the ropes and stops in the center of the ring waiting on the North American Cruiserweight Champion.
“Fireproof” by Pillar rips the roof off the building as fans burst into a cheer for the North American Cruiserweight Champion, Jay Stevens. Only two weeks removed from a fight he’ll not soon forget, Jay Stevens walks the ramp, the championship belt strapped firmly around his waist, as he stares down Cade in the ring. No stranger to the world of wrestling, Stevens was a generational wrestler. Born into a family of wrestling prestige and legacy that spanned decades. He was also one of the original Northern Pro Wrestling stars to ink a deal with Gus Arnold during its inception. To say he had the experience was an understatement, and it would be foolish for any challenger to take him lightly. Stepping between the ropes, Jay Stevens stands poised with confidence in the center of the ring. Removing the championship from his waist, he holds it up in the air, looking slightly to his left at Lochlyn as he does; before he hands it to the referee. Tonight, he was not defending his Cruiserweight Championship, but he was defending the right to be called the best. A win tonight was another brick in the wall that Jay Stevens had built on his climb to the top of the division. Taking to his corner, Stevens never takes his eyes off Cade. The referee checks both men, explains the rules, and with two nods of understanding, the bell sounds—
Cade interrupts by rolling out of the ring and demanding a microphone. Shaking his head, he seems to have something to say.
Lochlyn Cade: I must be mistaken… I was told Jay Stevens was a fighting champion.
Pausing, he climbs into the ring, slowly as the referee looks on at Stevens wondering what is going on.
Lochlyn Cade: I suppose champions here in Northern Pro Wrestling hide behind the promoter. Waiting to be told when and who gets a shot. Is that who you are Mister Stevens? Are you Gus Arnold’s little soldier boy? Why not put that title on the line and prove to these fans what kinda Champion— hell what kind of man you are?!
Stevens doesn’t hesitate, and nods to the referee be looking across the ring at the grinning Lochlyn Cade.
Jay Stevens: You’re on!
The referee motions to the time keeper and the ring announcer stands up.
Ring Announcer: This match is now for the North American Cruiserweight Championship!
The bell sounds and Jay Stevens motions for Lochlyn to make the first move. Lochlyn staggers with a bit of a cocky sway, showing his agile movements and flexibility. Finally Cade and Stevens tie up, a struggle for control before Stevens slips behind Cade and waist lock controls him to the canvas. Spinning around to a front face lock, Stevens controls the Promethean as he begins to lift him back to his feet. Cade slips the front face lock and drop kicks Stevens knee, rolling backwards and to his feet.
Lochlyn Cade steps and swings one leg at Stevens, who ducks, but twists fully through and plants the other boot into his chest - flipping forward and rolling back to his feet as he sends Stevens across the ring. Lochlyn turns around to see Stevens quickly return to his feet. Cade rushes at him and Stevens arm drags Cade, bringing him to the canvas and wrenching on an armbar that allows Stevens to keep a hand on the neck of Cade.
Stevens lifts Cade off the canvas and hoists him up in the air in the armbar, showing a fear of strength that was unlike Stevens. Dropping him back to his feet, Cade’s arm is twisted, causing him to flip to his back, as Stevens drops a knee into the shoulder joint of Lochlyn.
Grabbing the arm as Steven’s keeps the knee on it, Jay torques it backwards waiting for Lochlyn Cade to scream in anguish. The Promethean grits his teeth as his face shows the discomfort.
Cade rolls trying to free himself, but Stevens keeps his knee on the back of his neck and wrenches the arm. The Cruiserweight champion was in firm control. Flexing that control, he let the knee off and pulled the arm back, flipping Cade to his back before dropping down with an armbar submission variation.
Scrambling with his free arm to reach for the ropes, Lochlyn was too far away. He slid his legs towards the bottom rope, finally getting his boot under the rope and kicked up to force the break. Cade rolled to the apron as the hold was let go, and Jay Stevens took his stance waiting in the ring. Lochlyn Cade walks around the outside of the ring, shaking off the soreness his shoulder has endured from the focus by Stevens.
Walking up the steel steps, Lochlyn Cade surveys the ring and his opponent. He knew the test ahead of him was paramount to his rise in NPW. Slipping through the ropes, Lochlyn wastes no time going at Stevens, but ducks and rolls under his grapple, springing up, and hitting the ropes on the other side of the ring. Rebounding back, Cade leaps in the air with a lariat, but Stevens is already prepared! Snatching Cade in mid flight, Stevens power slams the Promethean with authority! Grabbing a leg he goes for a cover.

Kicking out, Lochlyn shoves Stevens off him and rolls out from under him. Learning to keep distance between the technician and himself, Cade grabs the ropes and goes to pull himself up. Met with a forearm to the chest as he turns around, Stevens unloads a series of strikes on Lochlyn before irish whipping him across the ring to the corner. Springing up the turnbuckles, Lochlyn walks the top rope and performs a somersault plancha on the running Jay Stevens! Dazzling fans with his acrobatics, Cade was fluid with his movement, as if the ring was an extension of himself.
Following the plancha, Cade rises once again and notices Stevens was taking longer to get up. Grabbing him by the neck, Cade snaps a suplex on Stevens and floats over for his own cover.
1..
KICK OUT! Not today Jay Stevens said with authority, as he shoves Lochlyn off him and rolls over. The Cruiserweight Champion rose to his feet, throwing a knee into the gut of Cade as he came in for a grapple. Stevens locks on a front facelock as Cade bends over, and butterflies the arms as he lifts Cade vertical by the arms, driving Cade’s shoulder into his knee! Stevens doesn’t let go and lifts him up once more, still using the hooked arms, and flips Cade as he completes a sitout powerbomb! Legs over the arms, Stevens goes for the pin.

Shoulder up! Cade is still in this one. Stevens shoves the legs off and grabs the knee of Cade’s left leg, going for a submission, he bends the foot back and rolls over the body as he lays on Cade! The momentum is too much though, and Cade squirms his way to the side, causing Stevens to hit the canvas instead. Cade immediately uses his fists to punch Stevens square in the eye, instantly breaking the hold on Cade’s leg and allowing him to get up. The referee warns Lochlyn he has to keep it clean, and Cade dismisses his warning. Placing himself a few feet from Stevens, Cade stalks his opponent. As Stevens gets to his feet, Cade delivers a drop kick to the knee, a Whirlwind, as he calls it. The move is effective as it grounds Stevens once more.
Lochlyn steps back and watches as Stevens works his way back to his feet again. Running at him, Lochlyn goes for a clothesline and Stevens ducks, throwing his shoulder into Cade’s gut and head between his legs, lifting Cade off the ground and flying through the air over the top rope! Cade tumbles to the outside ring area, thankful for the mats that covered the concrete.
Stevens shakes his knee, slapping it once and then takes a moment to survey where Lochlyn was. He didn’t need to go to the challenger, but momentum shifted for him, and keeping on it was best for victory. Stepping through the ropes, Jay Stevens drops off the apron and grabs Lochlyn by the legs, spreading them as he stomps him in the gut. Hooking both ankles between his armpits, Stevens looks back, and then falls backwards - catapulting Cade at the ring apron! Cade finds himself landing gracefully on the apron, but in a matter of seconds he uses the ropes and springboard moonsaults to the unsuspecting Stevens!
Catching Cade at the last moment, Stevens falls hard on the outside as Cade rolls off him a few feet away. The aerial assault had fans on their feet, looking on as the referee began the count out.
1.. 2.. 3..
Lochlyn Cade gets up. He sees the referee’s hand and hears the last count. Grabbing the stirring Jay Stevens by the neck he lifts.
4.. 5..
Stevens is on his feet and Cade is fighting to get him towards the ring, as Stevens appears out of it a bit.
6.. 7.. 8..
Cade tosses Stevens under the bottom rope and slides in beside him. The Promethean wastes zero time in stomping at Steven’s back before he ascends the turnbuckle. The match momentum in his favor, Stevens rolls over so he is face up. Lochlyn reaches the top and looks down, taking a moment to turn around, and the time is not spent well as Jay Stevens bolts off the canvas and rushes the turnbuckle, grabbing his waist as he reaches the top ropes, SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!
Crowd in attendance break out chanting “THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!”
Both men lay in the ring motionless. Stevens seeming spent at this point, and Cade now a slumped over body near the far corner. Stevens is the first to make his way to his feet. Cade somehow finds his knee and grabs a rope to steady himself. Stevens approaches Cade, lifting him up as he grabs his wrist. Lochlyn uses the ropes to keep Stevens from pulling him towards the center of the ring. Stevens hauls back and kicks Cade in the midsection, but he won’t let go. Twisting the wrist next, Stevens focuses on the shoulder as he lifts the arm up - but Cade is ready and pulls himself through the ropes to the outside, bringing Stevens with him! The two men have an ugly exit and find themselves rushing to their feet. Stevens grabs Lochlyn by the leg and is met with the other shin as Cade turns into an enziguri!
Peeling back the protective mat on the outside does Lochlyn. Reeling back he sends a soccer kick to the ribs of Stevens, causing him to roll onto the exposed cement floor. Cade takes to the apron as Jay Stevens lays there holding his ribs. One arm shoots up in the air and begins twirling in a circle as Cade runs the apron and dives onto Stevens with an elbow drop! The splat of body on body on cement is heard as Cade executes with precision!
Taking damage in the process of giving it, Lochlyn is slow to get up. He drags Stevens to the apron and rolls him under the bottom rope. Climbing onto the apron, Lochlyn eyes up his target, and springs over the top rope, sending all his body weight crashing on the top of Stevens chest! Hitting his signature LuchaVillian Elbow!
Lochlyn finds the energy to get up shortly after this and throws Stevens into the ring. Holding his side from the damage done to himself on impact, Cade climbs into the ring and goes for a cover on Stevens.

Rope break! With awareness on his side, Jay Stevens reaches out for the bottom rope and stops the count. Shaking his head, Lochlyn is upset with himself, knowing full well had he pulled him away from the ropes he may have just won. Lochlyn grabs Stevens by the neck, lifting him to his knees, and steps back two steps before running at Stevens! VALKYN SKORIA! No! Stevens ducks it, jumping to his feet as Cade turns around and wraps Lochlyn up for a BELLY-TO-BELLY! Stevens is met with a headbutt from Cade as he wraps his arms around him. Not just one, but a series of headbuttes, as Cade is not letting what happened to Marcus Smith on Honor. Cade’s fifth headbutt breaks the grip and he strikes Stevens with a punch right below the throat between the sternum! Stepping back, he dropkicks the right knee of Stevens. Rolling off his back and to his feet, VALKYN SKORIA! Cade sees Stevens crumble from the maneuver as his knee drives through the head of his opponent, and immediately Cade rolls Stevens away from the ropes and grabs both legs, he folds up Stevens on his shoulders. The referee goes for the count!

Dropping his feet from the middle rope as the 3 is hit and Stevens gives a thrust to kick out! Cade rolls backwards and lunges under the bottom rope as the referee signals for the bell.

Outside the ring, Lochlyn looks on at Stevens who is on his knees in the ring. The referee has left the squared circle and presents Lochlyn Cade with the NA Cruiserweight title before he lifts his arm in the air. Lochlyn cracks a fox-like smile as he knows he just stole this match from Jay Stevens. Fans boo the young athlete as he makes his way around the ringside area and walks up the ramp, turning around at the top of the stage. Lochlyn Cade hoists the NA Cruiserweight Championship in the air, as Jay Stevens stands in the ring, shaking his head. The reign of Jay Stevens was ended tonight, but the legacy of what he accomplished and did while champion would never be forgotten. Fans clapped for Jay Stevens, standing up to give him an ovation. He was still their hero.
