Tag Team/Group Finishers

The Dilemma (Doomsday Device): The tag finisher of Seth & Xen, Xen will hoist the opponent into an electric chair position whilst Seth climbs to the top rope. Once Seth is ready to strike he will pounce off and clothesline the positioned person, who get's launched backwards off Xen, who will push up their legs to make them flip backwards and crash down onto the mat.

The Reflection (Triple Powerbomb): The trio finisher of The Syndicate. Rhazien will order whichever 2 of his henchman is with him to ready their opponent and place one of their arms over each of their shoulders and hoist them up, where Rhazien will then hook their legs over the front of his shoulders. Once ready, Rhazien will throw them down whilst the other two use their added power to push down with their arms and increase the momentum, dropping the opponent down in a Triple Powerbomb.

Backstory

Not much is known of The Syndicate or their plans for AFW, all that is known is all the other members act as the henchman for Rhazien, who owns said stable and is ruthless upon whomever crosses him. Unknown to most people, The Syndicate is an organisation of a currently unknown amount of people who are rarely seen out in the open and work quietly, using the shadows to commit their deeds within the darkness. Xen, Draven, Requiem, Seth & Rhazien came to AFW demanding a spot within the Tension roster, where they remain to this day. Whether future members will join them at any point remains to be seen.

Rhazien will mostly avoid conflict with other competitors, instead forcing the others to do his dirty work for him. If an opponent manages to get through his henchman, they will then garner the attention of the leader himself, but it is said that Rhazien's violence and deadliness within the ring is of a much more terrifying nature then that of the others, and is one that is to be taken with extreme caution.

All members wear a similar attire of long black zipped coats that they all wear together, reaching from their head to their feet and having a hood that hides their face until ringside, where they will remove the coat and reveal their attire's of slim black fitted pants and matching boots. Draven wears a different attire however, opting to wear a black and red organic body suit that shows off his muscular build alongside a metal face plate underneath his chin.

Wrestling Style
Seth is the most outlandish of the stable with his wrestling style, tending to go for more risk-taking moves and manoeuvres to defeat his foes. Seth is also the most quietest, so don't expect too many words from him during the match.

Hair: Grey/Brown
Height: 6'0

Name: Draven
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Eyes: Yellow
Hair: Black
Height: 5'6
Weight: 145 lbs

Wrestling Style
Draven is the youngest yet most unstable of the group, tending to be unpredictable in the ring and not afraid to break the rules if it means gaining the upper hand. He tends to speak with a maddening tone and hopes to make his opponents uneasy with his appearance. He is the only member to wear a different uniform from the rest, making him easy to stand out from the group. Don't let his appearance fool you, as Draven is capable of performing impressive feats of strength despite his smaller nature.

Signature
Graveyard Spike: Having his opponent down to their knees, Draven will run as fast as he can towards the ropes before rebounding and looking to jump up and wrap his legs around his opponent's head before spiking them face first to the mat with a Hurricanrana. (Video for reference)

Finisher
Unversed Symphony: Using his impressive amount of strength, Draven will kick his opponent in the gut to bend them over, hooking their arms and lifting them straight up before flipping them down for a Tiger Bomb.

Name: Requiem
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Pink
Height: 5'10
Weight: 160 lbs

Wrestling Style
Requiem is Rhazien's second in command, proving himself to be the most toughest of his henchman and usually being an opponent's final challenge if they intend to take Rhazien head on. Requiem's focus in the ring is technicality, looking to exploit a weakness in the opponent's body in hopes of maybe using throws or submissions utilising pain on the specific limb.

Signature
Blooming Strike: Requiem will get behind and grab hold of his opponent, looking to specifically grab one of their wrists as he does. Once positioned Requiem will push them forward then pull back on their wrist and yank them forwards just as fast, hitting them with a lariat on rebound for a Rainmaker.

Finisher
Scythe Lock: Requiem has his opponent placed down on their front before locking their legs and ankles together around his foot before bending his own body backwards and wrapping his hands around the opponent's chin and pulling back, trapping them in a Muta Lock (Video for reference)

Name: Rhazien
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Eyes: Orange
Hair: White
Height: 6'2
Weight: 200 lbs

Wrestling Style
Rhazien is the leader of The Syndicate and is by far the biggest threat of the group. Unlike the other members Rhazien tends to be much more slow and manipulative in the ring, looking to victimise and destroy his opponents at his own pace and however he sees fit. He is an all-rounder in the ring, possessing equal abilities in strength, speed and technicality. Rhazien prefers to stay back from the fighting and do his leadership from afar, only showing himself for battle if the challenger in question has proved his skill and worth.

Signature
Twilight Slam: Gripping his opponent by the neck, Rhazien will lift them up high before slamming them back down painfully for a high-altitude Chokeslam.

Finishers
Ethereal Driver: Hoisting his opponent on his shoulder, Rhazien will push them downwards for an inverted bearhug before jumping and dropping to his knees, landing a devastating Tombstone Piledriver on the foe.
