“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

 

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

Sienna: “And I erased the past…”

 

We see a shot of Sienna Swann standing victorious at Rise to Greatness. We cut to see Syren looking on from the floor as Donovan Kayl is down in the ring as Thirteen winces as he walks away.

 

Sienna: “And now I am champion. But I’m forced to erase some more past…the past of unneeded opportunity.”

 

We see a shot of Alistaire Allocco getting his arm raised as he holds the SCW World Championship. We then see Allocco walking out of his pod in the Chamber Challenge last November. He looks at Jake Starr and points to him as the referee allows him to recover.

 

Sienna: “Allocco can have his moment. A reminder of past glory, but after tonight, he, as will anyone else find out no one can outlast me!”

 

Sienna Swann posing on a walkway with the World Championship around her waist is shown with camera flashes all around. The scene abruptly cuts to black.

 

We then see a shot of Giovanni Aries in the ring, before we hear him cackling. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost glaring at the entrance way, while standing in the ring.

 

Selena: “I’m not going to bought into this fictional war, with this Lizard King…I am no pawn.”

 

Giovanni: “The Lizard King has you under his spell and if you are so happy to be his general, then I will simply use you to sow discord in his troops…the blind who feel he does anything for anyone else but himself.”

 

We see shots of Giovanni Aries trying to go after Board of Directors. Selena Frost running out to stop him follows. Shots of Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries brawling at ringside follow, with officials getting in between them. Shots alternate between Giovanni Aries trying to get free with shots of Selena just watching Giovanni during one of their brawls backstage.

 

Selena: “There is no Lizard King. You’ve just bought into your delusions.”

 

Giovanni: “There is no opportunity. Just more hoops for many to jump through as he sucks the joy out of so many others. But before you could join the wonderland. Now I just look to spill your blood!”

 

Selena: “I asked for this match. I asked for the opportunity to end this disrespect and it WILL end…BELIEVE IT!”

 

We see Giovanni hitting Selena Frost with the Through the Looking Glass at the End of the Year Special before showing a shot of Selena Frost kicking at Giovanni Aries in the ring. We then see shots of the two being held back from one another at ringside as the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up live inside the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The cameras start to pan the arena, showing the crowd in attendance.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone live to Chicago, Illinois. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots here at ringside and welcome to the free for all portion, the preview of Apocalypse here tonight.”

 

Knots: “Four titles on the line tonight. World, US, Adrenaline and Tag Team Titles on the line. Sienna Swann’s first defense. Bree Lancaster’s first defense!”

 

Sharper: “Along with that, Selena Frost will face Giovanni Aries and we’ll also see Owen Cruze and Regan Street clash. Syren and Ikiro Yoshida. All that and much more here tonight!”

 

Cassidy Carter vs. Justin Davis
 
The rifts to "Na na na" by My Chemical Romance begins to play throughout the arena as the spoken intro opens up.

The future is bulletproof
The aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys, Make some noise!

Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out to a barrage of boos, Ace Marshall then stepping out by her side. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. She throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the booing masses, Ace just smirking
 
Announcer: Making her way to the ring, and from Beverley Hills California and weighing in at 1165Ibs… Cassidy CARRRRRRRRTER!!!!
 
Sharper: “As always, Cassidy looking confident.”
 
Knots: “And Ace ever the doting husband.”

Love, gimme love, gimme love
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box
Put an X on the floor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
Shut up and sing it with me

She makes her way down the ramp, now in full spirits, not really focusing on anything and Ace following behind. Her arrogance and lack of real concern or worries showing in spades. She reaches the apron before pulling herself up using the bottom rope for support. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. Her self-admiration and confidence continuing to be on full display for the world to grovel in. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side, shouting something to Ace who blows her a kiss.
 
Knots: “Not quite the power couple that we are, but they try.”
 
Sharper: “This is going to be a difficult combination to overcome as they have proven time and time again.”
 
The arena goes dark and a mist of smoke begins to gather at the top of the ramp as the opening rift of 'Sail" begins to play throughout the arena. The lights starts to flickers as a spotlight shines on top of the ramp. Justin Davis stands at the top of the ramp with his head lowered and a hood covering his head. Davis lifts his head as he takes his hood off and the words "JUSTIN DAVIS" shows on the titan Tron. The crowd begins to fill the arena with roaring cheers. You can see a smile on Davis' face while nodding his head as he begins to make his way down the ramp.

Announcer: Making his way to the ring from Boston, Massachusetts, and weighing in at two hundred and thirty five pounds, JUSTIN DAAAVVVIIIISSSS!"

Davis lifts his arms up in the air as he makes his way up the steel steps and into the ring. Once in the ring Davis circles the ring and then chooses a random turnbuckle to climb and pose for the fans by lifting his right arm and pointing up to the ceiling then to the crowd. He then drops down and sits in the corner awaiting for the match to begin.
 
Sharper: “He looks ready.”
 
Knots: “In all honesty, can you truly ever be ready for Cassidy.”
 
Sharper: “He’s going to have to have his wits about him no doubt.”
 
Cassidy slides off the turnbuckle and tilts her head to one side, chuckling at Justin who bounces on the spot. Cassidy starts to mock him, the referee saying something to Justin who stoically nods his head holding his hand up and refusing to be drawn by Cassidy’s tactics. The referee calls for the bell which rings out, Cassidy and Justin circling each other. Justin lunges forwards, and Cassidy ducks out of his attempt of a tie up, spinning around and kicking Justin in the thigh. Justin lunges in again, and once more Cassidy ducks underneath it, and this time rakes her nails over his eyes, Justin holding his eyes in agony. Cassidy then grabs his wrist and whips him towards the ropes, but Davis reverses it, Carter hitting the strands. As she bounces back, Justin scoops her up, and then slams her into the canvas, before dropping an elbow and making a cover
 
1…
 
Cassidy gets her shoulder up, Justin placing her in a rear chin lock, pressing his knee against her spine. On the outside, Ace slams the apron, and then shouts something at the referee who shakes his head
 
Sharper: “Did Ace really claim a choke on a chin lock?”
 
Knots: “I think he did you know.”
 
Cassidy starts to get to her feet, Justin transitioning into a head lock. Cassidy however drives her elbow into Justin’s stomach, and then again, Justin breaking the hold. Cassidy runs towards the ropes and tries a shoulder barge, but Justin holds his ground, Cassidy pretty much bouncing off him and hitting the canvas. Justin leaping in the air and dropping a leg across her chest, before making the cover
 
1…
 
Cassidy kicks out again to boo’s from the crowd, Ace telling them to hush.
 
Sharper: “All Justin so far, Cassidy struggling to get into this one.”
 
Justin picks her up to her feet, and spins around for extra momentum, whipping her hard into the corner turnbuckle. To a loud cheer, Justin then steps up on the second rope and lifts his fist, before bringing it down on Cassidy’s skull, the fans counting along with every impact

With the referee distracted, Ace grabs out at Justin’s foot, and pulls him off the second rope, Justin kicking out at Ace and the referee admonishing him, Ace just holding up his hand and protesting his innocence. With the referee distracted however, Cassidy drops to her knees and brings her forearm up and into Justin’s groin, Justin standing there in shock for a few moments before dropping to his knees. The referee turns, Cassidy now the one protesting her innocence but only for a moment. She leaps in the air, and drives her feet into Justin’s chest, sending him backwards and levelling him on the canvas.
 
Sharper: “Basement Drop Kick from Cassidy…”
 
Knots: “You have to expect these kinds of tactics when you face these two.”
 
Sharper: “Just like that the momentum has swung.”
 
Cassidy smirks out at the crowd before dropping to her knees and applying the cover
 
1…
 
Justin kicks out to the delight of the crowd, but Cassidy immediately gets to her feet, and stomps down on Justin’s body. She then lifts both of his legs and brings down her foot into his lower abdomen. She’s not finished there however as she ties up his legs and then drops backwards into the figure four.
 
Sharper: “Figure four, slap bang in the middle of the ring, Justin’s in trouble now.”
 
Justin leans back, the referee asking him if he wants to quit but Davis predictably shaking his head. He looks backwards and sideways, seeing how close the ropes are and realizing it’s quite a distance. As he struggles, Cassidy slaps him hard across the face, the crowd booing, but in that moment Justin leans one way, and then throws himself the other, rolling onto his front and reversing the figure four, all the pressure now transferred to Carter. She squeals in agony and has no choice but to release the hold, before getting to her feet gingerly. Unfortunately for her, Justin is on his feet as well, and he decimates her with a clothesline, before dropping into a cover
 
1…
 
2…
 
Cassidy kicks out, Ace wide eyed on the outside.
 
Sharper: “Ace fully aware that Cassidy is in trouble here.”
 
Justin picks up Cassidy and bends her backwards, before dropping and driving the back of her head into the canvas with a reverse DDT.
 
Knots: “Bit time impact from Davis… and the cover
 
1…
 
2…
 
Cassidy kicks out again, Justin biting his bottom lip but standing, and lifting her up and then under her armpits, lifting her up in the air. He then runs, and brings Cassidy forwards, dropping her into the canvas.
 
Sharper: “Running Power bomb with huge impact.”
 
Knots: “This could be over Sharper.”
 
Justin drops to his knees and makes the cover, the referee counting
 
1…
 
2…
 
The referee jumps to his feet and points to the ropes, Cassidy’s foot on the bottom strand. A replay on the big screen shows Ace putting that foot there and saving the match.
 
Sharper: “Oh come on.”
 
Knots: “Like we said, this is what you have to contend with, that’s what he is there for.”
 
Justin says something to the referee who shrugs, before then picking Cassidy to her feet. Ace nips up onto the apron, the referee intervening, but Cassidy taking the opportunity to gouge Justin in the eyes, Justin stagger backwards once again blinded. Cassidy then leaps in the air and catches Justin with a perfect Enziguri on the side of the head, Justin dropping to his knees. Cassidy is quickly up, and goes to the strands, bouncing off them and using that momentum to jump in the air and drive her knee into the side of Davis’s temple.
 
Sharper: “SHINING WIZARD!!!”
 
Knots: “Davis is out of it.”
 
Cassidy gets to her feet and scoffs at the crowd. She then drops to her knees and hooks the leg
 
1…
 
2…
 
Justin gets his shoulder up to Ace’s amazement, and Cassidy’s anger. Cassidy holding up three fingers, and the referee shaking his head. Cassidy turns, and lifts Justin up to his feet, before hooking his head, jumping over and dropping him with a Tornado DDT.
 
Sharper: “DDT from Cassidy, Ace loved that.”
 
Knots: “Davis didn’t, this could be over.”
 
Cassidy leans back with her body over Justin’s chest, and grabs his leg
 
1…
 
2…
 
3…
 
Sharper: “NOOO, Davis with the shoulder up, Cassidy is beside herself.”
 
Knots: “She can’t put Justin away.”
 
Cassidy scowls at the referee, and then lifts Justin up to his feet, holding him by the head and shouting at the crowd. She the jumps, looking to tie Davis up in a Crucifix, but Justin swaps her position, and brings her up onto his shoulders. Cassidy shakes her head at her predicament, as Justin drops her forwards and onto his knee, almost breaking her spine in half
 
Sharper: “Did you see that?”
 
Knots: “How could I, there was nearly two of her.”
 
Justin falls backwards, obviously exhausted, but then rolls his arm over her chest
 
1…
 
2…
 
Cassidy gets her shoulder up just in time, Justin rolling off in disbelief
 
Sharper: “So close, but the referee is counting both of them now.”
 
The referee starts the count, the crowd counting along with him.
 
1…
 
2…
 
Justin Davis rolls onto his front, and starts crawling towards the ropes, as Cassidy still isn’t moving.
 
3…
 
4…
 
5…
 
Knots: Davis looking like he’s the fresher of the two, Cassidy just about pulling herself together
 
6…
 
Davis pulls himself up on the ropes, as Cassidy sits upright, Justin running across the ring and booting Cassidy full in the face, dropping immediately into the cover
 
1…
 
Sharper: “This is it.”
 
2…
 
3…
 
Knots: NOOOO, Cassidy shoulder up once again, this is madness.
 
Justin gets to his feet, Cassidy on all fours. Davis screams at her to get up, and signals that the match is over
 
Sharper: “Justin ready to end this with the Lip Sealer.”
 
Knots: “And Cassidy doesn’t know where the heck she is.”
 
Adrenaline surges through Justin’s body as he watches Cassidy try to pull herself up on the referee who is asking her if she wants to continue. This distraction is all Ace needs, and he jumps up onto the apron and spins Justin around, dropping to the arena floor and hanging Justin on the top rope.
 
Sharper: NO, Oh my God…
 
Justin spins around, straight into a recovered Cassidy Carter, who throws out her foot, and catchers Davis with a Super Kick. As Justin staggers backwards, Cassidy wraps an arm around his neck and sweeps his leg, Justin hitting the canvas face first. Cassidy then wraps her leg around his throat, the other around the back
 
Knots: “It’s nearly locked in, Justin in huge trouble here.”
 
Cassidy then grabs her leg and squeezes as hard as she can, increasing the pressure.
 
Sharper: “The Faithbreaker in the center of the ring… Justin needs the ropes.”
 
Justin struggles the best her can, but he can’t move and has no choice, and he eventually taps out the crowd jeering as Cassidy releases her opponent, Ace Marshall sliding into the ring
 
Sharper: “Goddamn it.”
 
Phillips: Your winner, by Submission… CASSIDY CAARRRRRRTER!!!
 
Ace lifts her arm, and then gives her a kiss, as Justin Davis rolls out and to the arena floor
 
Knots: Cassidy wins here at Apocalypse, and she looks quite happy about it doesn’t she?
 
Sharper: “She’s just beaten Justin Davis, she has that right… no matter how it was achieved I guess.”

 

Knots: “And Justin still needs to deal with Josh Hudson and Rachel Foxx to complete his list!”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, someone else has something she wants…Hana Ito is standing off…off site.”

The scene cuts to the inside of the lobby of what appears to be a fairly fancy hotel. We see Hana Ito standing a few feet away from the front desk, microphone in her hand.

 

Hana: “Thank you Adam. And yes, I am here at the hotel that Scarlet Grey told Aaron Blackbourne to meet her at tonight. Now, Aaron, as far as we know, is not here. He’s not scheduled to compete tonight at Apocalypse, and he insisted I keep the note she sent him. We however are intrigued about what Scarlet had planned given some of the other messages. We’re going to tread lightly. We were able to confirm she is checked in. We’re not sure what state of undress she’ll be in and on top of that, we want to ensure she is comfortable with whatever we do film for our pay per view audience.”

 

Hana pauses.

 

Hana: “But we have some time until then. And we’re going to be waiting until the meet up time. Given how smitten Scarlet has been with Aaron, we would like to know what is driving this. Given that it has also already impacted her career, this is a relevant issue, even if it is a bit more salacious. We’ll have more when we have it. Back to the arena.”

 

Hana smiles as the camera focuses on her for a few moments. The Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen.

The words “Earlier Today” appear on the bottom of the screen. We then see a shot of Derek Adonis standing on a small stage in one of the common areas. He has a megaphone in his hand.

 

Derek: “Already. Everyone welcome to the KABLAMAerobics, also know as DPP Yoga! The chance for all of you wonderful gentlemen and ladies…especially the ladies…to get ready for KABLAM! It’s the specifically sponsored approach to enjoying the KABLAMA Sutra, preparing you for the best KABLAMs of your life!”

 

The sounds goes away.

 

Sharper: “As you see, Derek Adonis did host a KABLAMerobics class?”

 

Knots: “You take part? Or did your back give out?”

 

Sharper: “I did not. I did see you checking it out.”

 

Knots: “Well I’m a supporter. I have several autographs books. Every edition. Kennie and I…well…”

 

We cut to show various shows of Adonis leading what appears to be a number of people, all adults, with the help of Cookie and Manvel, as they do various positions, such as the downward dog. We cut to another shot showing some people with their legs behind their hand while laying on their back. Adonis can be heard talking.

 

Sharper: “We would share some of his lessons, but as, uh, you can see everyone involved is over eighteen. And if you want a part of this, Derek is apparently taking these KABLAMAerobics classes to Breakdown and other SCW pay per view events. You do need to sign up for them, get a special ticket for them too.”

 

Knots: “And trust me, you feel it. I’m still a bit sore.”

 

Sharper: “You sure it’s because of the aerobics?”

 

Knots: “Of course!”

 

We see Manvel talking about his oil mix as he holds up a wooden bowl and can be seen mixing some of the oil in it before the Apocalypse logo comes across the screen.

The scene opens up to see Syren, Ravyn Taylor and CHBK in front of their locker room with Jessica Winters.

 

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and I’m with Dark Fantasy and tonight, Syren, Ravyn, CHBK, you’ve got a number of issues that I’m sure you have your eye on. Ravyn, you’ve been taunting Christy Matthews and Andrew Raynes. Undoubtedly you’re watching that closely. And Syren, you’ll be facing Ikiro Yoshida, but that masked man who has been aiding you, he won’t be here-“

 

Syren: “Aiding me? You think I needed the help. No, the role he was playing was removing the obstacles that shouldn’t be in my way. Tonight, I’m not worried about Ikiro Yoshida. He can insult me. He can show he hasn’t a clue about what I’ve deserved and what I should have coming to me. I’m focusing on the World Title. THAT is what I should be getting. That is the only opportunity I’m focusing on. I don’t need a masked man to continue to prove that. He’s been here to just get rid of these wastes of time. When we all know Sienna called me out. Well, she wants it…I’m here. Give me the shot I should’ve had months ago. Prove you’re actually that good. I still have plenty I want to show to her.”

 

Jessica: “Are you not overlooking Ikiro?”

 

Syren: “As I said, I don’t care about Ikiro Yoshida. I didn’t care about him before, but now, after he wanted to disrespect me, I’m going to have to focus on him. No…that’s the thing…I’m not going to worry about my honour or whatever. I know one thing. I am a champion and that’s all I am focusing on.”

 

Jessica: “Thank you Syren, and Ravyn-“

 

Ravyn: “You’ll have to wait and see with me. No fun to just tell you.”

 

Jessica shrugs.

 

Jessica: “CHBK? Anything to add?”

 

CHBK: “Just that these obstacles are going to be removed one by one and Dark Fantasy will be where they should be sooner rather than later, no matter what Mr. D thinks.”

 

Jessica: “Thank you for your thoughts. Back to ringside.”

 

We then cut away.

Blake Mason vs. Marie Jones

 

"The Memory Remains" by Metallica starts to play. After a few seconds, Blake Mason simply walks through the curtain, dressed simply in just his wrestling tights. He pauses momentarily at the top of the ramp, looking out at the crowd with his usual stoic expression.

Phillips: “Currently making his way to the ring.... from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

Blake starts walking down the ramp, not paying much attention to the crowd, a good bit of whom are cheering. Reaching the steel steps, Blake walks up them, on to the apron, and steps into the ring. He walks over to the corner and turns, facing the ramp. He does a few arm stretches while he waits for his opponent as his music fades out.

Sharper: “Blake Mason has been on a hot streak lately, one that I can't remember him having in a long time. Four straight wins, two over former World Champions.”

Knots: “I'm telling ya, the best thing Mason ever did was drop Bree like a bad habit. Hmm... think that's all it was? A habit? Addiction? Bree is a drug! Drugs are bad, m'kay?!”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Phillips: “And his opponent....”

"You and I walk a fragile line”

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. A broad grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves.

Phillips: “From Boston, Massachusetts.... she is the Phoenix, Marie Jones!”

Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans. As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd. Marie hops down as her music fades, and her smile fades a little as she and Blake look at each other across the ring.

Sharper: “Marie Jones challenged Blake to this match, she wants to prove herself, facing those she considers to be the best. Blake Mason though could have been having a very different match tonight. Mr. D made the offer, wanted to give him a shot at the United States Championship. Blake turned it down, did not want to face his ex-wife. Can't say I blame him there.”

Knots: “He should have taken the shot. Bree would have hated it and seeing the salt explode from every one of her pores would have amused me til the end of the year!”

Sharper: “Blake took the high road, something he has been doing a lot more of as of late, and it seems to be paying off in a big way.”

The bell rings. Blake and Marie both step to the center of the ring. Blake extends his hand in a show of respect. Marie hesitates a second, then grins and accepts it. The crowd cheers. They both back up a step before then locking up. Blake, with the clear size and weight advantage, quickly turns Marie around and into a headlock. Marie fights it, elbowing Blake in the ribs. He pulls the hold tighter, which Marie responds to by throwing another, harder, elbow. Blake lets go, but keeps hold of Marie's arm. He steps back and whips her into the ropes. On the rebound, Blake hooks an arm and takes Marie down with an arm drag. Marie gets up quickly, only for Blake to take her down with another one. Marie gets up. Blake runs the ropes and comes back with a clothesline attempt, but Marie ducks. Blake spins around. Marie nails him with an uppercut. Blake steps back. Marie lands another, then a spinning elbow to the ribs, followed by a dropkick. Blake stumbles backwards into the ropes, holding on to the top rope to stay on his feet. The crowd cheers at Marie's flurry.

Sharper: “Marie on fire to kick this off. If she's gonna come away with a win here, this is what she needs to do, use her quickness to keep Blake from being able to overpower her.”

Knots: “If she can do that, she has a damn good chance of victory. But Blake's experience will come into play as well, he's a quick thinker, give him an tiny opening and he'll rip it wide open.”

Marie backs up allowing Blake to come off the ropes. As he does, she bounces off the opposite side and leaps for a crossbody. Blake catches her in the air though, and spins before slamming her down. He goes for a quick cover.


1!


Marie shoots her shoulder up. Blake gets to his feet, and Marie is up a second later. Blake grabs her arm and slings her into the corner. He follows, throwing a knee into her ribs. Marie leans into the ropes. Blake backs up a step and goes for another knee, but Marie spins out of the corner. Blake nearly hits the post instead but is able to stop his forward motion. He turns, to see Marie springboard off the middle rope, nailing him with a dropkick. Blake hits the mat flat on his back Marie makes a cover.


1!


2!


Blake kicks out, pushing Marie off.

Sharper: “Both Blake and Marie trying to put this one away early.”

Knots: “Too early if you ask me, neither are that easy to keep down.”

Marie gets to her feet. Blake rolls over and gets up as well. As soon as he's vertical, Marie runs the ropes and takes Blake down with a frankensteiner. She then drills him with an elbow drop, followed by a knee drop. Blake rolls to his side, holding his ribs. Marie uses her foot to push him back flat on his back and makes another cover.


1!


2!


Blake kicks out. Marie sighs, and gets up quickly, some frustration showing. She goes to the ropes, and springs off the middle rope with a lionsault.

Sharper: “Divine Impact!”

Knots: “And another cover!”

Marie hooks a leg this time.


1!


2!


Blake gets his shoulder up. Marie sits up, clearly frustrated. Blake rolls away from her, still holding his ribs.

Sharper: “Marie Jones trying her best to keep Blake Mason down, but not enough, not yet.”

Knots: “It's not a bad strategy though. Keep making him kick out like that and he'll get tired. Eventually one cover has gotta stick.”

Blake gets to the ropes and pulls himself up. Marie gets to her feet, her back to Blake. Blake steps towards her and as soon as she turns around, Blake grabs her and flings her up and over with a belly to belly suplex. Marie lands awkwardly on her back, more on her left side. Blake turns and drops a knee into her sternum, then makes a cover.


1!


2!


Marie kicks out. Blake gets up, pulling Marie up by her arm. He whips her into the ropes. On the return Blake lifts Marie up and over with a back body drop. He turns and maneuvers Marie into a chinlock. Marie struggles a bit, and Blake locks it on tighter. Marie fights it though and manages to get her legs under her. She pushes upwards and back hard, knocking Blake off balance. He releases the hold, but keeps his feet. As he regains his footing, Marie gets up and spins, and before Blake is fully sure-footed, Marie drops him with a DDT! She makes a cover.


1!


2!


Blake kicks out.

Sharper: “Another nearfall for Marie Jones. That's got to be frustrating, for both of them.”

Knots: “So far Marie is doing a pretty good job of moving a little faster, but if she isn't careful she'll wear herself out before she wears him out with the pin attempts!”

Marie gets up, and Blake starts to get up. Marie runs the ropes, looking to kick Blake in the chest before he's standing upright, but he straightens suddenly and grabs her leg, blocking the kick. He just hold her leg for a second, and Marie hops on one foot trying to get out of his grip. Blake shoves her backwards using her leg as leverage, and Marie lands hard on her back. Blake drills her with a knee drop again, before pulling her away from the ropes and making a cover.


1!


2!


Marie kicks out. Blake gets to his feet quickly. As Marie is starting to get up, Blake grabs her, spins her around, and lifts her up and overhead with a belly to back suplex. Marie lands on the back of her shoulders, and rolls through. Blake turns and grabs her and throws her with another one. Marie rolls to her side this time, holding he back of her neck. Blake pulls Marie up and throws her back with a third, then goes for a cover, hooking a leg.


1!


2!


Marie gets her shoulder up just before three. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “Marie seemed to have the upper hand to start this off, using her agility to keep Blake trying to catch up. Now though it seems he has caught up and he's just overpowering her at every turn.”

Knots: “What'd I say about ripping openings wide? That's what the Blake Mason Experience is, isn't?”

Sharper: “Jon, we're trying to be a family program here.”

Knots: “Try harder.”

Blake gets up, and Marie rolls to her stomach, pushing herself up on all fours, holding the back of her neck as she slowly gets up. Blake stands back, allowing her to get up.

Knots: “See, this I don't like. Not too long ago, here is where we'd see Blake hone in on his opponent, not let up punishment on what's clearly a sore body part, start to pick it apart. Now? He's letting her catch her breath! Marie is too quick for this, he's gonna cost himself this match trying to be a hero!”

Sharper: “Maybe, but it's a damn sight better than watching the man try to end careers. I'll pick this version of Blake any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.”

Marie gets up, and turns to face Blake. He waves “come on” at her, and she nods before bouncing off the ropes. She goes for a clothesline, but Blake grabs her arm and spins, whipping her into a corner. Marie hits hard, and grabs the ropes to hold herself up. Blake goes to the corner, lifts Marie up, and sits her on the top turnbuckle. He then steps up to the middle rope, and locks his arms around her waist. The crowd roars as he tries to superplex her off, but Marie blocks it by wrapping a foot around the ringpost. Blake tries again, and Marie blocks it again. She throws some strikes into Blake's ribs, causing him to loosen his grip. Marie then uses both hands to shove Blake's chest, pushing him backwards off the ropes. He hits the canvas flat on his back, hard. The crowd oohs. Marie looks around, and the crowd now cheers. Marie stands on the middle ropes, and takes a deep breath before leaping with a shooting star press! She lands perfectly, and scrambles for a cover.

Blake kicks out. Marie just lays there for a second, and the official nearly starts another count, but then Marie pushes herself up and off quickly, backing away looking down at Blake oddly.

Sharper: “Marie could have had another pin attempt there, but she got up. What could she have in mind here?”

Knots: “Blake looks just as shocked as you sound.”

Blake sits up, looking up at Marie as if he doesn't understand why she backed off like that. Marie shakes it off and hangs back, allowing Blake time to get up. Blake gets to his feet, and Marie suddenly scrambles up the corner, turns on the ropes, then launches herself with a flying crossbody. They both crash down, but Blake wraps his arms around Marie and rolls through, preventing another pin attempt. He then gets his feet under him, lifting Marie up as he gets up. The crowd oohs at the display of strength, as Blake sets Marie up over his shoulders then drills her with the BME!

Sharper: “That, Jon, is the Blake Mason Experience!”

Knots: “That quick, huh?”

Sharper: “Christ's sake...”

Blake makes covers, hooking the leg,

The bell rings and Blake rolls off.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall.... Blake Mason!”

The official raises Blake's hand, and the crowd cheers. Marie stirs.

Sharper: “Blake said it himself, drive for five, and now he's got it. Five wins in a row. And the fans seem to have warmed up to this... this new and improved Blake Mason.”

Knots: “This win adds another former champion to the list of people he's recently defeated, Marie Jones is a former United States Champion. And even though Mason turned down a shot – stupidly, if you ask me, at that title tonight, you have got to believe that he'll be in line for a shot as soon as his ex-wife is no longer the champion. Which, hopefully... will be after this night is over.”


Sharper: “Let's not count Marie Jones out of contention either, she gave almost as good as she got tonight, but in the end she just got out-powered.”

The official lowers Blake's arm, and he turns to help Marie up. She holds the back of her neck looking up at him, before accepting his outstretched hand and pulling herself up. The crowd cheers as we cut to the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Congratulations to Blake Mason. That’s all for our free for all here tonight.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Gotta pay to see the rest. Who is walking out as World Champion? Are we going to see a murder on pay per view when Regan Street faces Owen Cruze?”

 

Sharper: “Never mind Giovanni Aries and Selena Frost. That’s going to be a barnburner.”

 

Knots: “Don’t want to miss this one.”

 

Sharper: “Apocalypse, live from Chicago. Not too late to order. It’s going to be a big night. What is going to happen with some of the opportunities some have been given. We’ll find out…next…we’ll see you there!”

 

The scene cuts to a wide shot of the crowd before starting to fade to black.

The scene opens up with a shot of the earth, slowly spinning.

 

“Opportunity.”

 

The earth keeps spinning before we see a shot of Mr. D in the ring, talking to the crowd, before cutting to show him talking to Sienna Swann, holding the SCW World Championship, who is incredulous.

 

“Some would say that it is a long time coming…”

 

A shot of Jake Starr standing in front of Bree Lancaster follows before we see a shot of Alistaire Allocco standing in the ring, his arms raised. Katie Steward posing in the middle of the ring, follows.

 

“Some would say that this is the chance for them to prove themselves.”

 

Marie Jones confronting Blake Mason follows before we see Ikiro Yoshida blocking a shot from Syren. Ravyn Taylor hitting the Evolutionary Synthesis on Christy Matthews follows.

 

“Others created their own opportunity.”

 

Josh Hudson attacking Xander Valentine from behind and then showing him hitting the Big Fat Kill on him follows. Casterillo attacking Chris Cannon follows. We then see a shot of Cannon wincing before Sienna Swann steps up and openly flirts with him.

 

“But others see the opportunity as the beginning of the end. The rise of the undeserved.”

 

The Truelove Twins can be seen glaring at Mr. D before we see Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay standing face to face with the Truelove Twins on Breakdown. Regan Street nailing Owen Cruze with a shot is next. Giovanni Aries attacking the Board of Directors follows before Selena Frost runs out and stops him. We then see shots of Selena Frost talking to Mr. D backstage.

 

“But opportunity is there for anyone to take it…”

 

Kennedy Street standing with Amy Chastaine and talking to her backstage, before we see Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries trying to fight one another. Andrew Raynes rolling out of the ring as Tommy Valentine tries to attack him. Chris Cannon confronting Casterillo follows before we see Casterillo roll to the floor.

 

“And maybe…it’s becoming now or never.”

 

Just then, we cut to the shot of earth spinning. It continues to spin for a few moments before the scene cuts to black.

The scene opens up with a shot of explosions all over as “Not Dead Yet” by Ledger plays in the background. The explosions continue before the Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen.

 

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents…Apocalypse!”

 

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before we cut to the inside of the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Pyro shoots out from around the big screen and from the floor in front of the entrance. The pyro shoots up into the air for a few moments before spotlights start to circle around the arena. The crowd cheers as the cameras pan across the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Chicago as Apocalypse is on the air! On a night where Sienna Swann defends the World Title against Alistaire Allocco, Selena Frost faces Giovanni Aries, and Regan Street clashes with Owen Cruze…Opportunity is the name of the day.”

 

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd for a few moments before we cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots at ringside.”

 

Knots: “Don’t forget about what else we’re going to see tonight. Kennedy Street is going to get some revenge for Jason Helms. Bree Lancaster is going to get some egg on her face when Jake Starr beats her for the US Title. That’s right. Those words came out of my mouth!”

 

Sharper: “Much more to come tonight. We’ll get to it all, but time to go to the ring. Adrenaline Championship on the line!”

 

Christy Matthews vs. Andrew Raynes

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans cheer as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship. First, the challenger, accompanied by her bodyguard Christopher Richter, she is from Overland Park, Kansas, she is Christy Matthews!”

 

Her fists are taped and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...

...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

As she begins to push her way down to ringside, and security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way, we see that she's joined by her manager, Christopher Richter. Christy ignores every one of them as she walks past them, focusing on the ring. She makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of “King of the World” hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, throwing her ring jacket to the outside and collapsing to a seated position in the corner of the ring as the fans cheer. She sits in the corner, looking out at the fans occasionally as Richter collects her belongings from her corner and stands on the outside of the ring nearby.

 

Sharper: “The former multiple time Adrenaline Champion, getting a chance to regain the title she’s not held since last year.”

 

Knots: “But is Ravyn Taylor going to be a factor? We know Andrew Raynes is going to be looking to get this win.”

 

Sharper: “Both Christy and Andrew will have people in their corner. Ravyn Taylor and Tommy Valentine both interested in the competitors in this match. Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews have been going at one another for months.”

 

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes appear through the smoke, the Adrenaline Championship draped over his shoulder, his head shifted towards the ring, focused, a cold stare. He stands there for a few seconds still looking downwards, devoid of the fans, as he is introduced. Dustin Adams walks out from the back and walks down a few strides behind him. 

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Dustin Adams, from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, he is the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Andrew Raynes!” 

As his introduction is finished, Raynes grabs the Adrenaline Championship off his shoulder and raises it above his head with one hand and starts taunting the fans, showing people how proud he is to hold the title. He then starts walking down towards the ring with the title belt dragging down from his hand. Dustin follows. Raynes walks up the stairs into the ring and walks into the middle of the ring, raising the belt high once again, and continues to taunt the fans as they continue to rain down boos on him. He then drops down and hands off the title to the official as Dustin Adams settles in Raynes’ corner. The referee raises the title over his head as the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen.

 

Sharper: “Raynes and Matthews both focused. Raynes looking to move on after Dylan Howell was a thorn in his side for months. But this is a huge challenge.”

 

Knots: “Maybe his biggest. That’s saying something. But Raynes said it on Breakdown. He’s gone through everyone since Retribution. He’s still champion.”

 

The referee hands off the title as the crowd roars. The bell sounds. Christy and Andrew circle the ring a bit before the two lunge at one another. Christy ducks down and under and grabs Andrew in a waistlock. She turns into a side headlock. She holds on and Andrew drags Christy to the ropes and then fires her off. She bounces off and Andrew shoulders her down. Christy looks up. Andrew turns into the ropes. He bounces off. Christy rolls towards him and tries to take out his legs. Andrew hops over and bounces off the opposite ropes. Christy goes for a leapfrog. Andrew, however, stops just in front of her and then takes her down with an arm drag. He holds on and Christy winces as Andrew holds on. She starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Christy Matthews caught. Andrew Raynes on his game tonight.”

 

Knots: “Always on it. It’s why he’s been champ for so long.”

 

Andrew Raynes continues to hold onto the arm as Christy gets up. She looks up and then turns and flips forward and nips up and then turns and kicks him in the ribs. She then grabs the arm and wrenches it. Raynes winces and Christy kicks him in the ribs before then wrenching the arm again and going for a back kick. Raynes ducks and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Christy ducks a clothesline. Raynes bounces off the other side and Christy jumps up and hits a dropkick. The crowd ohs and Christy goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Christy now showing that composure. Again, different kind of competition for Raynes.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Not like Howell who wanted to hurt Raynes. Raynes and Christy are fighting solely for the right to hold that title and both want it!”

 

Christy then chops Raynes again. More woos. Raynes grimaces and Christy then grabs him and goes to whip him across the ring. Raynes runs across and stops himself. Christy runs after and Raynes goes for a back elbow. Christy blocks it and then forearms Raynes in the back before turning and taking him down with a backslide.

Raynes rolls over and gets up and Christy hits a shoot kick to the thigh. She then hits another one and then chops him. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Raynes then turns and sidesteps her. Christy keeps running and jumps to the middle rope and jumps back, but Raynes hits a straight kick to the back. Christy hits the mat.

Raynes kicks out. As he does, we then see Ravyn Taylor walk out from the back. The crowd starts to boo as Ravyn Taylor saunters down the entrance way to the ring. Dustin Adams starts to walk around the ring. Ravyn smirks as Christy looks up and sees her. Christopher Richter starts to step forward, but stops, seeing Adams going over to her. Christy turns back as Raynes gets up and kicks him in the ribs. He goes to the corner. Adams walks over to Ravyn and stops her as Ravyn just puts her hands up.

 

Ravyn: “Looks like Andrew could use some assistance.”

 

Adams: “He’s fine. You can leave.”

 

Ravyn: “Why would I need to do that? Do you not trust me?”

 

Adams: “Don’t need the distraction.”

 

Ravyn: “Not even regarding Mr. Richter? Or what about Thomas Valentine?”

 

Adams just sighs as we cut back to the ring to see Christy snapmaring Raynes over. She turns and exits to the apron. She then climbs up to the top rope. Adams steps back as Richter just looks over and Ravyn smiles and walks along with Adams. Raynes remains down as Christy looks over.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor coming down. Dustin Adams, you heard the conversation over the cameras.”

 

Knots: “Looks like Ravyn made a good point. That’s not good for Christy. And Andrew doesn’t need him!”

 

Sharper: “But she does know Tommy well. And Christy just as well.”

Raynes: “Don’t need her. Get rid of her.”

 

Ravyn smirks before Raynes turns around and Adams turns and shrugs.

 

Adams: “You heard him.”

 

Adams then turns and points to the back. Ravyn shrugs before suddenly spraying something in the eyes of Adams. Adams turns away and turns back, holding his eyes, clearly in pain. Raynes turns back and Christy just grabs him and rolls him up with a school boy.

Raynes kicks out. Ravyn walks away from Dustin Adams as Christopher Richter starts to walk around the ring to go to her. Adams punches the steel steps in anger, holding his eyes. The camera gets a shot of Ravyn’s hand, showing some pepper spray as Christy and Raynes get up and Christy grabs Raynes and goes for the Happily Never After, but Raynes spins out of it and then grabs Christy by the head and hits a half nelson slam. The crowd ohs. Raynes rolls over. He looks over as Christopher Richter stops halfway as Ravyn continues to keep her distance.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor causing chaos on the outside, but Raynes getting the advantage!”

 

Knots: “Christy tried to end it though. Raynes fought out. Got the half nelson suplex!”

 

Raynes then turns as the crowd roars and Tommy Valentine can be seen walking out from the back. Tommy starts to head to the ring. He jogs down, but as he does, a number of officials can be seen running down to the ring. The crowd boos seeing them as Tommy gets to the ring. Ravyn jukes around the steel steps as Tommy Valentine hops onto the apron. Raynes runs over and nails him with a hard right before he falls off. He goes to return to the ring, but the officials stop him. The crowd boos as Tommy just laughs as he is pulled back. A couple of officials go after Ravyn Taylor as Christy starts to get up. Ravyn rolls into the ring. She gets up and Raynes turns to her. Ravyn looks at him and then Christy before going to lunge towards Christy, but Christopher Richter, pulls her out of the ring.

Knots: “Ravyn and Tommy both stopped. Adams wants to fight. Richter helped Andrew Raynes. Gotta love it!”

 

Sharper: “And Raynes continues this reign!”

 

The crowd boos as Raynes gets up. He smirks and the referee hands him the SCW Adrenaline Championship. Raynes raises it over his head and looks around before turning to Tommy and smirking and then to Ravyn. Ravyn looks in the ring and smirks too as Tommy keeps trying to get to the ring. Raynes intentionally looks at him and holds the title up, taunting him. Adams rolls in, wincing a bit as Raynes turns to him. Christy rolls to the ropes as Richter goes over to her. The crowd continues to boo Raynes.

The camera cuts to a shot of the outside of the United Center in Chicago. The crowd cheers seeing their home crowd.

 

Sharper: “We are live here in Chicago. Apocalypse coming to you from the United Center.”

 

Knots: “Plenty still to come!”

 

Sharper: “Sienna will defend the World Title against Alistaire Allocco. Syren will face Ikiro Yoshida. Selena Frost will face Giovanni Aries.”

 

Knots: “Owen Cruze will be murdered by Regan Street.”

 

Sharper: “We will see what will occur. Plenty more to come here tonight.”

 

The scene remains on the shot for a few moments before we cut back to the inside of the arena.

Chris Cannon vs. Casterillo

 

At ringside is of course Jonathan Knots and Adam Sharper. While they address the camera, we can also see Jason Phillips walking the steps getting ready for the next match.

Sharper: “We have a laundry list more of matches to come but up next is a hotly anticipated one because it had been almost two years in the making for one of the individuals involved and that is Chris Cannon.”

Knots: “Injured at the hands of William Mason in an unsanctioned match. Tonight Chris Cannon returns to action finally and he’s going up against Casterillo who seemed to take offense to this return.”

Sharper: “You could say that, the lack of respect from Casterillo is evident due to how vocal he was or dare we say the lack of it also.”

Knots: “But tonight it’s put up or shut up, is Cannon going to beat some respect into Casterillo or will the man who talks about the Dark introduce Cannon to it himself.”

Just as Knots finishes, the big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening Perfect World logo. We then hear a woman’s voice that sounds a lot like Kelcey Wallace over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to Prometheus by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him as he scans the crowd.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentleman, introducing at this time, Hailing from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, CA... He weighed in tonight at two-hundred and thirty-five pounds... CHRIS CANNON"

Sharper: “Cannon looking in great shape, I’ll admit I was wondering how he would look tonight, it’s been a while.”

Knots: “It has been a while, but I’m more interested in whether there is any Rust. This lengthy time out no matter what you say has to have left some.”

Sharper: “That is true, he said earlier today when I talked with him briefly that he felt great and had been training at the Ante Up Academy near him so we’ll find out.”

The crowd has a mixed reaction for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Cannon stops and turns to look at one fan that is extending a hand which he slaps before continuing on.

Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon begins to walk around the ring with a smile, he issoaking up the reaction from the fans before drawing to a stop to the barrier. Standing there is Kelcey Wallace in the front row, the two hug and kiss before he turns and hugs his son which receives a big roar from the fans. Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd cheers the British superstar.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace there at ringside, here tonight to support her husband along with their son.”

Knots: “Huge moment for Cannon tonight, a lot of eyes watching so he best not screw it up.”

While Cannon steps down from the corner the entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the titantron. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine.

Sharper: “Here comes the man who attacked Cannon when he returned to SCW to talk to the SCW Fans.”

Knots: “It was bound to happen, if not Casterillo it’d have been someone else I’m sure. He has a face you just want to punch.”

Sharper: “What are you talking about?!”

Knots: “It’s just too handsome, look at him!”

The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He immediately springs right into action attacking an unsuspecting Cannon from behind. The SCW fans begin to boo loudly with Casterillo assaulting Cannon with stiff boots to the back, he shifts them up towards the back of Cannon’s neck before dragging him to his feet. Here Casterillo attempts to grab hold of Cannon, but the Brit blocks and connects with a right hand and another and one more sending Casterillo stumbling back as the SCW fans roar.

Sharper: “Cannon fighting back and the look on his face is one we haven’t seen in a long time.”

The referee steps between Chris and CAsterillo while the latter holds his face and smirks. Chris tries to move forward the referee still won’t let him get past. He demands Cannon gets into his corner which he reluctantly does. Casterillo stands in his corner now. The referee reprimanding him a little but finally calls for the bell. The fans roar with Cannon charging out of his corner like a bull in a china shop looking to hit the C4 right out of the gate. But Casterillo sidesteps and hurls him into the the corner. Cannon driving his own shoulder into the ring post. The camera cuts to ringside where Kelcey and their son wince, concern already etched on their face.

Sharper: “That isn’t what he had in mind.”

Knots: “No it isn’t and when the human body meets steel, you can bet that steel is going to win.”

Cannon steps out holding his shoulder which instantly becomes the target of Casterillo with a elbow. He extends Cannons arm and drives another elbow into the shoulder this time Chris stumbles away wincing in pain. Chris turns around but only gets greeted with a running clothesline from Casterillo not long after that with Cannon trying to get up he is pushed back down with a cover.

1… KICK OUT BY CANNON!

Sharper: “Casterillo already focusing on that shoulder of Cannons, that pin fall pressing down his shoulders.”

Knots: “It’s definitely a target now, Cannon needs to be wary of that.”

Casterillo smirks while pulling Chris up to his feet, he sends him to the ropes with an Irish whip with Cannon hitting them full force. On the return Casterillo goes for a shoulder tackle, but Cannon had it scouted and spins on his heels like a quarterback mid run and hits the ropes behind Casterillo. Now on the back foot It’s Casterillos turn to spin on his heels and quickly backs up with Cannon trying another C4, this time Castrillo drops to the canvas and exits the ring to a sea of boo’s from the fans as Cannon skids to a halt.

Sharper: “Got out of doge there, no secret that Cannon has one hell of a spear in his arsenal. That C4 delivers a hell of an impact.”

Knots: “Could be one of the best spears in the business.”

Sharper: “It’s certainly up there.”

Cannon stands in the ring while Casterillo paces back and forth outside a little looking at the inside. The referee demands he steps back in but he begins to change his attention. He turns to look at two individuals in the crowd…

Sharper: “Oh god… Casterillo looking at Kelcey and their son now…”

The crowd roars when Kelcey stands up from her seat but the son steps between Casterillo and Kelcey. But any threat is avoided when Cannon rolls out of the ring and runs around to a huge roar from the fans. Casterillo turns and is brought down with a clothesline from Cannon on the outside. Chris quickly turns to his wife and son wanting to make sure they’re okay. Kelcey tells him to focus on the match which he does. Afer turning around Casterillo has already rolled back into the ring while holding the back of his head. Cannon sneers and slides in and quickly gets to his feet, he again looks to hit the C4 on Casterillo, waiting for the right moment.

Knots: “Cannon had enough now, you don’t look at another mans family.”

Casterillo gets to his feet and turns around, Cannon runs at him for another Speak but he is still very much fresh, Casterillo and he blocks it with a stiff kick to the chest of Cannon. He then hits the ropes and drives his shoulder into the gut of Cannon with a speak of his own before covering the Brit to another chorus of boo’s from the SCW fans.

1… NO! KICK OUT BY CANNON!

The boos were short lived with another quick kickout from Cannon. Casterillo looks at the referee and tells him to count faster. Pulling Chris to his feet he drags him over towards a corner and starts to throw serious shots to the ribs of Cannon who does his best to block. Another Irish whip sends him across the ring with a brutal impact into the corner. The Brit wincing in pain again as he now holds his lower back.

Sharper: “Cannon taking the brunt of this match so far, things aren’t going how he envisioned.”

Knots: “It has been a while, no matter of training at a gym is going to prepare you for the pace that is SCW these days.”

Cannon starts to get up, but he is pulled to his feet and a knee to the gut follows. With him doubled over Casterillo grins as he slams his forearm into the back of Cannon, the Brit dropping to a knee. Casterillo pulls him to his feet again but Cannon quickly grabs hold of him and connects with a T-Bone Suplex out of no where and a quick cover.

1… KICK OUT BY CASTERILLO!

Cannon releases and gets back to his feet with Casterillo doing the same, Chris Cannon then runs at Casterillo and brings him down with another clothesline, this happens two more times as Casterillo gets up and its then when Chris sends Casterillo to the ropes this time only to be brought down by a jumping leg lariot from Cannon! The SCW fans roar as Cannon now on his knees slams his hands into the canvas to hype everyone up.

Sharper: “Listen to the crowd they are behind Cannon tonight, what a welcome back this is with the cherry being if he manages to get the win.”

Knots: “Yet so far he has lacked that killer edge, time away has def played a part in that.”

Casterillo rolls away holding his face, he gets to his feet with Cannon quickly doing the same. Turning around the two lock up together now with CAsterillo looking like he is getting the better in the strength department over Cannon. The Brit however has other ideas and shows his strength before driving a knee into the gut of Casterillo. He now doubled over Chris runs the ropes and quickly connects with a Yakuza kick to the temple of Casterillo!

Sharper: “The Cannon Fodder! Huge Yakuza kick there by Cannon!”

Knots: “But CAsterillo isn’t down, he’s still standing after that shot!”

The fans are in awe at that very notion as Cannon hesitates for a fraction of a second before Running the ropes again. Casterillo looks to take Cannon’s head off with a clothesline, but Cannon ducks and runs the ropes again. Spinning on his heels with Cannons return Casterillo drives an elbow at Cannon but the Brit ducks under it with his pace building. The SCW fans then erupt when CAsterillo turns into a devastating spear from Chris Cannon!

Sharper: “C4!!! HE FINALLY HIT A C4!!!”

Knots: “And WHAT a C4 that was!

Cannon winces once more holding his shoulder but covers Casterillo as the SCW fans roar. The camera switches to a shot of Kelcey and their son Christian watching on excitedly as the official counts.

3!!!

The arena erupts with cheers, Cannon rolls off Casterillo holding his shoulder again but manages to get to his feet with the help of the official. He tells the ref he is okay and has his arm raised as Prometheus hits over the P.A System. Cannon then exits the ring and instantly walks over to his wife who hugs and kisses her husband, their son joining in with the hugging as SCW fans continue to cheer a few managing to pat Cannon on the back.

Sharper: “Not as easy as he would have liked, but Casterillo failed in showing Cannon the Dark tonight.”

Knots: “No it wasn’t, but it was a great first step back in SCW and with Fatal Fortunes on the horizon, Cannon is going to want to shake of all the rust he can.”

Sharper: “That is so true, that is then however, and we still have a lot going on tonight here at Apocalypse.”

The focus shifts back to Cannon who now is starting to make his way towards the back while Casterillo sits in the ring holding his ribs.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Mr. D and his youngest daughter Katya backstage. Katya just smiles turning away from the monitor.

 

Katya: “Great to see Chris return and do well. He seemed nice from what I was able to see.”

 

Mr. D: “He’s a good man.”

 

Katya nods and turns to her father.

 

Mr. D: “So are you enjoying your first non-Rise to Greatness event?”

 

Katya: “It’s different. Everything was so big at Rise to Greatness, but I’m getting it. You need to think about more than the immediate.”

 

Mr. D: “Exactly. It’s not easy. And I have to make the best decision I can with what I know and stand by it. I may be wrong, but that happens.”

 

Katya: “Well I thank you for listening to my idea about the opportunity. We have some…different things.”

 

Mr. D: “That we do. We’ll see what still happens. Speaking of which…the next match. I’m interested in what happens there.”

 

Katya: “Think about rehiring Xander?”

 

Mr. D: “We’ll see Katya. We’ll see.”

 

The scene cuts away.

Xander Valentine vs. Josh Hudson

 

The generic rock music plays as Xander Valentine walks out from the back. He then starts to make his way down the rampway to the ring. Xander Valentine looks around as the crowd cheers him.
 
Phillips: “Introducing first, currently residing from San Diego, California, he is the Executioner…Xander…VALENTINE!!!”
 
Sharper: “This next contest will be the epitome of brutality as the SCW’s Executioner, who is not under contract, Xander Valentine will face none other than Josh Hudson, a man we have all known to be silent but violent.”
 
“Judas" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, wearing a zip up jacket. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring. He embraces the negative reaction with outstretched arms as he makes his way down the ramp, his body turned sideways as he faces the crowd with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, shouting, "I'm the best at what I do!!!" before turning and sitting against the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.
 
Knots: “Josh Hudson surprised everyone, including myself, when he attacked Xander during one of his tryout matches a few weeks back. Xander wants to make Hudson regret that decision.”

The sound of an acoustic guitar strum is heard as we see a shot of CHBK diving off the top rope onto Shawn Winters. This is followed by a shot of Jake Starr getting German suplexed by Josh Hudson.

???: “What are you doing?”

 

The scene cuts to see Mr. D sitting in the crowd with a remote. Next to him is his daughter Sasha, holding a guitar and randomly strumming it. On the row in front of them, Katya sits, turning to her father.

 

Katya: “Did you have to pause it?”

 

Mr. D: “We’re told we couldn’t make a mess of the place…yet…that’s next year though.”

 

Katya: “It was fine last time…”

 

Sasha: “Yeah, but we didn’t use their massive picture board to watch old videos.”

 

Mr. D: “Much more is going to be on there again in a few years.”

 

Mr. D grabs whatever he dropped and looks up.

 

Mr. D: “Alright…”

 

Mr. D presses the button on the remote before we cut to a shot of the outside of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas before we see the Rise to Greatness XVI logo come up on the screen.

 

“Rise to Greatness XVI, July 21, 2019, AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas!”

 

The logo stays on the screen before it fades to black.

Jake Starr vs. Bree Lancaster

SCW United States Championship

 

The arena goes dark and the crowd begins to get loud. The opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the arena. With each opening drum beat, the logo of the Social Misfits flashes on the jumbotron...

Yeah, I get it you're an outcast
Always under attack always coming in last
Bringing up the past no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast a kick in the ass
So paranoid

WATCH YOUR BACK!

With those words, an explosion or pyrotechnics erupts on the stage and the arena fills with lights and Jake Starr comes strutting out from backstage. He immediately stops on the stage and surveys the crowd, feeling their energy and absorbing it all in. He begins his walk toward the ring. As he walks down the ramp, he occasionally throws a hand to the side, slapping a hand and giving a fistbump to the outstretched hands of the SCW fanbase.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW United States Championship…Introducing first from Des Moines, Iowa…he is the Social Misfit…JAKE STARRR!!!”


Upon reaching the ring, he hops up on the apron with one knee, pulling himself up, and stepping through the middle rope. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing to the top rope. As the chorus hits, a spotlights illuminate Jake and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He lifts his arms up, then points at himself, and ultimately yells the words "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" He looks around, continuing to soak up the energy from the crowd before beating on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd who have been supporters over the years.
 
The lights dim as the horns of “I’m Worth It” by Fifth Harmony echo throughout the arena. The crowd starts to boo as white spotlights circle the arena then focus on the stage, dancing in time to the music. A few moments pass before we see Bree Lancaster, with the SCW United States title draped over her shoulder, walk out from the back. Scott Burnside walks out with her and the two look around, Scott standing a few steps behind her. Bree Lancaster extends her arms and looks up as white sparks start to fall behind her from the top of the set to the stage.
 
{Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it}
 
Bree then starts down the ramp as the chorus continues, her free hand on the silver silk belt holding her robe shut. Scott follows a few steps behind as two crossing spotlights follow Bree's progress.
 
Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside... the Ambitchous Bree Lancaster!"
 
The music continues as Bree gets to the ring. She stops at the steps to pose a second with the title, as Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows up the steps as Scott then holds the ropes open for Bree to step through. She then does a little circle in the ring, showing off a bit, before stopping in the middle of the ring. Bree tugs on the silver belt, and the robe falls open revealing her pure white and silver trimmed outfit. She then pulls the robe off, swishing it around and tossing it at Scott as he stands near the corner on the apron. Bree then raises her arms overhead in a flourish, then walks another small circle, glaring at fans in the front row who are booing her, as she shows off the United States Championship. Scott goes down the steps to the floor as Bree's music fades and the lights return to normal.
 
Sharper: “United States Championship match. Jake Starr taking on Bree Lancaster in her first title defense.”
 
Knots: “Starr is a former US Champion in his own right. Knowing him, he’d love to gloat about being a two time US Champion.”
 
The ref calls for the bell as Bree and Jake circle one another before lunging forward, locking up. Starr transitions into a side headlock. Bree hits a few shots to the ribs, backing Jake into the ropes before using the momentum to push him to the opposite side of the ring. Starr hits the ropes then comes back with a shoulder tackle, knocking Bree down. Starr looks down at Bree and smirks before running into the ropes once again.
 
Starr comes back as Bree gets to her feet. Starr rolls under as she goes for a clothesline, only for Starr to connect with a clothesline of his own. Starr then goes for a quick cover.

The crowd begins to cheer as Starr slaps his chest, getting into position.
 
Sharper: “Starr has dominated Bree, dare I say, out classing her since the opening bell.”
 
Starr then leaps, going for the Shooting Star, but Bree rolls out of the way just in the nick of time. Starr lands hard onto the canvas and rolls away, holding the back of his neck.
 
Knots: “Bree seems to have shot your statement down.”
 
Sharper: “Starr going for the shooting five star, but Bree getting out of the way just in the nick of time. Starr is holding the back of his neck after that impact. His condition maybe questionable.”
 
 Bree gets to her feet as Starr slowly pushes himself up, still holding the back of his neck. Bree moves in and connects with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head.

The scene opens up backstage in one of the hallways to see Mikaela Street and Regan Street standing outside of their locker room with Jessica Winters with them.

 

Jessica: “Jessica Winters with Regan Street and Regan, tonight, you’ll face Owen Cruze in a match that could make that young man’s career, but it started with you responding to something he said.”

 

Regan: “And I should be doing something else. I should be winning a title. I should be main eventing. I should be on top of the world. I cut the crap with the boss. I beat Selena Frost on the biggest show in wrestling. And instead, I’m dealing with a punk kid who frankly, I’m not sure he deserves to be around this business, let alone enjoying a friendship with my son. So, Owen, everyone’s looking at you going this is your big shot. Oh…it is. It definitely is. Yeah, it’s not for a title. But let’s face it. This is the biggest match of your short, young career…and I damn sure am the biggest name in this company.”

 

Regan pauses for a moment.

 

Regan: “This is your main event. And Owen, I’m going to show you that your Cruze Legacy is just one of failure. Just like Shaun’s career was cut short and marred by controversy, yours is just going to be marred by my foot up your ass. I’m doing this as much as I don’t need some dumbass telling me how to take care of MY family’s issues and when you’re pretending to be a friend of AJ, something tells me that this bullshit you spew is getting to him and while I trust AJ, I don’t think you’re nothing more than a groupie looking to hold onto this business. Connected to Amy too…just pathetic. Well don’t worry, you won’t need to worry about much else when I’m done. I’m going to make sure you learn a few lessons you should’ve been taunt years ago. Buckle up…don’t screw this up.”

 

Regan turns to Jessica.

 

Jessica: “Thank you for your time. Regan Street faces Owen Cruze later tonight here at Apocalypse. Let’s go back to ringside.”

 

We cut back to the ring.

Ikiro Yoshida vs. Syren

 

Red and white lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett begins to play over the P.A System. The SCW fans rise to their feet casting their eyes to the stage where the curtains part. A sudden pause befalls the arena until Ikiro Yoshida walks out with a confident swagger in his step. He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground…

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from-“

 

Just then, we see the Masked Man that has been helping Syren run out from the back and nail Ikiro Yoshida in the back of the head. The crowd ohs and Yoshida falls forward. He rolls over and gets up and the Masked Man grabs him and probably hits a future shock DDT. The crowd ohs and Ikiro falls to his side.

 

Sharper: “There’s the damn masked man. God damn it!”

 

Knots: “Syren’s not focusing on Ikiro. He is!”

 

Sharper: “And this would mean that she’s just forfeited this match. She just got disqualified. That’s what Mr. D said. If he shows up, she’s disqualified!”

 

The bell sounds, trying to get the man to stop as the man stomps him in the back and then again before Ikiro rolls over and the man drops down and locks in a Rings of Saturn. The crowd boos as Ikiro yells out in pain. The Masked Man keeps pulling back. Ikiro yells in pain as he tries to figure out anyway to get free. A few moments of agony for Ikiro pass before officials run out from the back and try to stop him. One grabs at the mask and the man immediately lets go and rolls back and backs away. Officials check on Ikiro while others keep the Masked Man back. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “This man doing the damage. Syren was focusing on the World Title…no doubt that’s why she was so confident. But also shows how much she’s changed. Cheating these fans out of a match.”

 

Knots: “Exactly!”

 

Just then, the crowd erupts in cheers as we see someone climbing over the barricade from the ringside area. The camera turns to show Thirteen climbing over and then turning and starting to advance toward the entrance way.

 

Knots: “What?! He’s here!”

 

Sharper: “Thirteen! It’s his hometown. A Chicagoan! We’ve not seen him since Rise to Greatness!”

 

Knots: “And he’s going after the Masked Man!”

 

Thirteen runs over towards the stage. The Masked Man pulls away from one official and turns and runs over to the edge of the stage. He hops down a couple of steps on the staircase on the side and drops down. Thirteen stops at the top of the stage and looks over at him as the man jogs to the crowd. The crowd however stops him. The crowd cheers some more.

 

Sharper: “This Chicago crowd is trying to help Thirteen!”

 

Knots: “Ha!”

 

Thirteen starts to head over to the steps and the man turns and runs through the curtain on the floor to the back. The crowd boos loudly as Thirteen drops down. He stops on the floor. He then looks back at the crowd as they cheer him some before he turns back to Ikiro.

 

Sharper: “Well as we try and regain some composure here…Hana Ito is standing by at that hotel room…Hana.”

 

Knots: “Whoo-hoo!”

The scene cuts to the hotel where Hana Ito is now in one of the hallways on an upper floor.  She has the note from Breakdown in her hand.

 

Hana: “Thank you Adam, Jon, I am here in the hotel hallway, outside of the room that Scarlet Grey is in. She told Aaron Blackbourne to arrive sometime around now. Obviously, that won’t happen, but we are. Looking to find out what is driving this young woman in her desire to try and woo Mr. Blackbourne. Let’s see if she’ll speak to us or give us a hint to what she had planned.”

 

Hana walks down the hallway, looking at the note and then at one door before moving to the next one.

 

Hana: “Okay, this is it.”

 

Hana folds up the note and holds onto it with her microphone hand and then turns to the door and knocks on it. A few moments pass before we hear someone walking to the door.

 

Hana: “She’s coming.”

 

Hana backs up and the door opens and we see Scarlet Grey smiling as she turns out, wearing a thin robe that is open, covering everything that needs to be, but showing that she is wearing very little to the imagination. Scarlet turns and then stops and looks around.

 

Scarlet: “Where’s Aaron…”

 

Hana: “I’m Hana Ito. I’m with SCW. Aaron unfortunately told us that he was not intending to come, but we wanted to get a little more insight to why you’re trying to…well, given your attire, you’re had some plans for Aaron and if you’re comfortable-“

 

Scarlet: “I planned to show Aaron what he would be missing if he kept turning this down.”

 

Hana: “But…why are you so focused on Aaron?”

 

Scarlet smirks, looking away a bit.

 

Scarlet: “Have you looked at him? Have you seen that creative spirit…I think I can have a lot of fun with that…And what I want, I usually get.”

 

Hana: “Uh…look, I’d love to keep talking, but would you mind covering up-“

 

Scarlet: “Why? Does this embarrass you? Because you know you could never look this good? That you don’t have people fawning over you? Well I want Aaron fawning over me.”

 

Hana: “He said he’s in a relationship.”

 

Scarlet: “Well, he did not know he had this option then…and I think he should reconsider….Now…is Aaron here? Did he put you up to this?”

 

Hana: “He’s not…not here at all. Probably back at the arena.”

 

Scarlet sighs.

 

Scarlet: “Ruby was right. I hate when she’s right…”

 

Scarlet then looks down at herself and then smirks.

 

Scarlet: “I’m going to just have to try a bit harder to get Aaron to understand what I’m offering.”

 

Scarlet smiles as she turns. She pauses briefly.

 

Scarlet: “You can even help.”

 

Scarlet then slides her robe off and smirks, showing her naked back, clearly knowing what she is doing as she steps back into the room. Hana steps back, closing the door. Hana then looks back to the camera. We then cut away.

Bianca Evans & Katie Steward vs. Lohan Country

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

Baby I'm coming, better ready yourself
Be looking for me 'cause I'm the real thing

 

“The Real Thing” plays throughout the arena as Katie video plays on the screen. The crowd jumps to their feet booing her. After a few moments Katie walks out on the stage wearing her glorious white and gold ring robe. She slowly walks across the stage to the ramp with TJ Johnson in toe and he is running his mouth hyping Katie up to the crowd.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a twenty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! First, from Los Angeles, California, accompanied by TJ Johnson, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

 

Katie stands at the top of the stage and does her pose for the crowd. After a few seconds of the sending her their love she continues her way down the entrance way. TJ runs head and jumps on the apron. Katie walks around ringside and steps up the ring steps onto the apron and enters the ring while TJ holds the ropes for her. She walks to the middle of the ring and undoes her belt taking off her robe for the crowd. She hands her robe off to TJ and poses for the crowd in her stylish ring gear for a second before she gets into her mind set for her match.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward getting this opportunity thanks to her tag partner, Bianca Evans, who wasn’t pinned in her last match, when she lost the World Tag Team Championship.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and Chad Evans is now replaced with Katie. God to a Goddess!”

 

Sharper: “Stunned everyone, but here we are and if Katie and Bianca can defeat Lohan Country, Katie Steward will be a Supreme Champion.”

 

“Torture” by Picture Me Broken begins to play as the lights in the arena go black and the entrance is surrounded in a dark blue black light. The camera moves to the big screen "Bianca Evans" appears on the screen and then it shatters into fragments as glass as the shards fly away we see the words "God’s Wife" in its place. Then we see imagery of Bianca in the rain with smudged make up being pelted by water with a cold as ice expression on her face. The camera lowers and we See Bianca Evans standing in the entrance with a pissed off expression on her face. She is wearing a black furcoat with black sunglasses along with her black leather pants ring gear.  

 

Phillips: “Her partner, from Heaven, she is Bianca Evans!”


Bianca walks to the ring. She looks to the camera sticks out her tongue. She looks out to the audience and spits in disgust. She then slides under the bottom rope crawling before bolting to the top rope. She lets out a scream as she throws her head back, her dark brown hair flying in a fluid motion. She jumps off the rope while the camera focuses on her she leans into the camera and licks her lips saying “Hate me.” Katie looks at her as Bianca turns back and coldly scans the arena.

 

Sharper: “Two very different people. Very different styles.”

 

Knots: “Different styles? Bianca attacked Gigi Steward when she returned. Something about this I don’t like.”

 

Sharper: “The former Lexi von Aaron, now going by Bianca Evans. Now married to Chad Evans and taking her birth name, Bianca.”

 

We hear the sound of a motorcycle revving. A few moments pass before “Wreaking Havoc” by Skylar Grey starts to play. We then see Abigail Lindsay, wearing the World Tag Team Championship, riding out from the back on a motorcycle and stopping at the top of the stage. She looks around and briefly takes off her helmet before nodding and looking around.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, she is Abigail Lindsay!”

The music then cuts out before we hear "Confident" by Demi Lovato starts to play. The crowd cheers loudly as Abigail glances back and a few moments pass before we see Dawn Lohan, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship, walk out from the back and look around. She smiles before turning to Abigail and nodding. Abigail then turns and puts her helmet back on before turning and grabbing a second helmet, hooked to the motorcycle and extending it to her sister. Dawn smiles as she walks over and grabs it.

Phillips: “And her partner, she is Ms. Wonderful, Dawn Lohan. Together, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Lohan Country!”

The crowd cheers as Dawn’s music continues to play and Dawn gets on the back of Abigail’s motorcycle. Abigail revs the engine and then starts to ride down the rampway and over to the ring. The crowd roars as she drives down, gaining some speed before stopping at the ringside area. She then starts to slowly guide the bike around the ring, driving it around the ringside area.. Dawn hops off and takes off her helmet. She turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up as the crowd cheers. Abigail takes her helmet off before turning and following her sister. Abigail goes to the corner and looks around as Dawn does the same. They hop down as their music fades out. Both then take off their titles and hand them to the official. The referee holds them over his head as the crowd roars. The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

 

Sharper: “Lohan Country have had a newsworthy August and September. They are making their second defense.”

 

Knots: “Everyone thought they may be dealing with the Truelove Twins tonight. This is a big pivot and we’ll see what it means for them.”

 

The referee hands off the titles. He backs up and then looks at both teams and calls for the bell. The bell sounds as Bianca Evans steps out of the ring as Katie Steward looks at her and then turns back. Dawn starts to off for Lohan Country. We then cut backstage to see Tommy Valentine and Jake Starr watching backstage in their locker room. Jake is seated at his bench in his gear.

 

Sharper: “Resurgence watching this one. That’s one other story to consider. The tag division is watching this closely.”

Katie gets up and immediately turns to the official telling him Dawn pulled her hair. The crowd boos.

Kennedy Street vs. Dante McCaffery

 

The opening to "Out of the Black" hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. The lights flash with every sound of the drum. Once the bass hits and the song kicks into gear, Dante McCaffery emerges from the curtains with a long black and yellow fur trenchcoat with another black and white jacket underneath. He immediately mouths off to the crowd and scowls. Dante glares at the crowd and shortly after, Ms. Budde and Jack Parker walk out. Jack has his trademark steel chair in hands as he extends his arms to the crowd before he looks right at the camera.

Dante looks around and starts walking down to the ring as Jack and Budde follow.

Phillips: Accompanied to the ring by Jack Parker and Ms. Budde, From Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at two hundred and fifteen pounds, ...Dante McCaffery!

Dante walks down to the ring, giving the fans the "shoo" gesture repeatedly. Jack, meanwhile, is seen walking, smirking and holding up his chair. Budde just glares at the camera. Dante soon pauses and stares at the audience to his right for a moment. He looks around at the crowd and he says a few things. He then walks close to the camera and then Max walks up to the camera.

Jack looks on and pulls Dante to the side. Jack is seen whispering something to Dante and the latter nods. Dante then starts walking up the steel steps before turning around, giving the crowd the chance to boo him some more. Dante soon enters the ring. Jack soon sets his chair and sits on it as he and Budde look on the outside. Dante throws his arms up in the air. The crowd boos as McCaffery looks around the crowd. From there, Dante goes to the corner, where her and Budde talk while Jack is on the outside, still seated.
 
Sharper: “Here comes Dante McCaffery with the rest of The Network and why is this match happening? The attack on Jason Helms thanks to Bree Lancaster and her paying for the services of The Network like we saw Laura Steinbeck try to do with them and the Truelove Twins. Kennedy Street took exception to the attack and after a few tough losses to Sienna Swann including the World Championship and finding out that she was not going to get the rematch at Apocalypse, then this happened, a man close to her friend Amy Chastaine, it made sense.”
 
Knots: “Kennedy is focused on getting back the World Championship, she is watching the Main Event closely, even then she will get Sienna Swann in the ring again, for now the World Title is not in the books, that’s fine. I have never seen her train as hard as she has now. Dante crossed the line with Jason and Kennie is going to make him pay.”
 
"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back.....
 
She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the rope showing off her beautiful body in her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination…..
 
Kennedy cracks a sexy smirk, she raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them, posing along the way to entice them a bit by blowing kisses and high fiving fans....
 
She continues to make her way down to the ring, giving the fans a show with her outpouring charisma and sexiness, arriving at the apron, crawling in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the flash photography as the crowd roars….
 
Phillips: “From Beverly Hills, CA. weighing in 118 pounds, she is “The Sexy Flawless Diva” Kennedy Street!”
 
Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner, extending her long muscular legs, doing her pre-match stretches, flipping back her long blonde hair and turns around to lean against the corner ready for the match to start and talking with the referee getting a smile out of him with her harmless flirtatious charm….
 
Sharper: “She looks more than ready but the question is having her confidence taken a hit? Are the losses to Sienna and not the start she was looking for to the New Season of the SCW going to play a part against such a dangerous man like Dante who simply doesn’t care about winning or losing?”
 
Knots: “Kennedy is focused, she has put that behind her for now but yeah, it does linger, it’s the competitor in her, Sharper. Dante is who she’s wrestling, she also must contend with Ms. Budde who is an old rival and the dangerous Jack Parker. Max is out, he’s not here. I’m telling you, Kennedy is ready!”
 
Sharper: “Isn’t she always?”
 
Knots: “Damn right, she is!”
 
The referee checks Kennedy before he then talks to Dante, Budde and Parker circle the ring, Kennedy keeps her eyes on them as he calls for the bell and Dante quickly clotheslines her down before she could react. He circles around Kennedy, picking her up by the hair and Irish Whipping her into the turnbuckle, nonchalantly he walks over to her and sticks his foot into her neck as the referee starts to count…

Dante breaks the hold! Kennedy is trying to catch her breath, holding her neck while Dante talks to the referee, Parker jumps on the apron and starts choking out Kennedy with his bare hands while the ref is distracted. He lets go just in time as the referee turns and watches Kennedy collapse to the mat. Dante starts to stomp Kennedy as she tries to cover up, the ref intervenes, giving Kennedy a chance to recover from the early onslaught….
 
Sharper: “The interference and distractions already playing a huge role here in the outset of this match, The Network has gotten into Kennie’s head, maybe like her last match, being too overzealous!?”
 
Knots: “No, this is a three on one and not in a good way. Kennedy knew these odds were against her, she is resilient, I know how bad she wants this and well… she’s my wife!”
 
Dante kicks her a few more times before picking her up by the hair, he snap mares her over not once but three times before driving a knee to her back causing her to bellow in pain. He runs against the ropes and Dante basement dropkicks Kennedy right in the face, he doesn’t go for the cover and instead smirks and grinds his boot into her face….
 
The referee warns him again, Kennedy holds her face, Dante stands in the corner and waits for her to get up….
 
Sharper: “Dante is in complete control and did you see him wrench Kennedy’s Flawless face?”
 
Knots: “That son of a …..”
 
Kennedy slowly gets up, Dante runs at her with a boot but Kennedy ducks, he turns around and she kicks him in the gut before forearming him a few times backing him up, the crowd roars as Kennedy Irish Whips him but Dante reverses, he ducks only for Kennedy to hop over him in a Sunset Flip for the cover….

Dante Kick Out!
 
He quickly rushes her but Kennedy catches him in a step over toe hold causing him to hit his face on the mat, he turns over and is met with three consecutive Leg Drops as Kennedy hist the Street Staple. She quickly points to the referee for the cover….
 
1!
 
2!
 
Dante kicks Out!
 
Kennedy kips up, Dante gets up and tries to grab Kennedy, she turns to the side and gets behind him, delivering the Ride of Coventry as the crowd roars…..
 
 
Sharper: “Kennedy is on fire now and she has found her opening. The Ride of Coventry has quickly turned the tide and Dante is in a lot of trouble!”
 
Knots: “I told you she was laser focused on this! She has Dante after he took his shots! This is why she is a former World Champion and will get her chance again!”
 
Kennedy doesn’t go for the fall, instead she climbs up to the top rope, she waits until Dante gets up, he grabs the referee and Budde hops on the apron and knocks Kennedy off the top falling down hard on the floor as the crowd ohs. Budde drops back down as Dante pushes the referee out of the way and heads to the ring, Kennedy is rolling on the mats hurts, Parker and Budde close….
 
Knots: “I need to check on her! This has to stop!”
 
Sharper: “You stay right here! Kennedy caught by Ms. Budde and the tide quickly has changed! She could be seriously injured, that was a nasty fall!”
 
Dante goes to the outside but feigns going out, he starts to distract the referee and argue with him, this opens up Budde who picks up Kennedy by her hair and rams her lower back with a shoulder thrust into the apron. Kennedy screams in pain, dropping to her knees. Budde backs up with her arms up in the air as the referee turns around and sees Kennedy on the ground, Dante rolls out of the ring, he grabs Kennedy by the hair and throws her back in, sliding in behind her, picking up the former World Champion to her knees and hitting a devastating Rapture. Kennedy falls face first limp on the mat motionless…..
 
Sharper: “I think he knocked Kennedy out!”
 
Knots: “No! Kennie, get up!”
 
Dante points at Knots, rolling Kennedy over and laying on her seductively for the cover….
 
1!
 
2!
 
3… No! Kennedy gets her shoulder up!
 
Dante’s eyes widen, he looks down at Kennedy, forcing his forearm into her face and going for another cover….
 
1!
 
2!
 
3… No! Kennedy kicks out again!
 
Dante looks annoyed at the referee. Budde starts to yell at the referee. Dante picks up Kennedy by the hair and throws her into the turnbuckle….
 
Knots: “Yes! Kennedy isn’t done yet and if this weasel wants to play games, first he isn’t even man enough for her and second, she is not going down without a fight!”
 
Sharper: “This is why Kennedy is a former World Champion. What he did to Jason Helms, the love interest of her former tag team partner and a woman she admires in Amy Chastaine is enough to fuel that passion, she never gives up!”
 
Dante runs at her, jumping up quickly and causing Dante to crash into the turnbuckle. The crowd roars, Kennedy comes off, she runs against the ropes, without any warning she suicide dives on top of Jack Parker catching him and the fans by surprise as they go wild!
 
Sharper: “Kennedy took out Jack Parker!”
 
Knots: “He didn’t even see it coming!”
 
She slowly gets up and screams, sliding back into the ring, she stands to her feet but Budde gabs her boots, Kennedy tries to escape but that gives Dante the chance to recover, the referee sees Budde and screams for her to let go when suddenly the crowd roars, someone jumps the barrier and runs at Budde, superkicking her in the face….
 
Sharper: “It’s Trinity Street!”
 
Knots: “Trinity is here to back up her sister! That’s my Sister In Law, Sharper!”
 
Sharper: “I know! What a kick, she almost took her head off!”
 
Trinity grabs Budde and throws her into the steel stairs as Dante sees what is happening, he charges in and quickly hits A Touch of Class! The crowd roars as Dante goes down hard on the mat….
 
Sharper: “Touch of Class!
 
Knots: “Pin him Kennie!”

Kennedy drops for the cover and hooks the far leg….
 
1!
 
2!
 
3!
 
The bell rings as Kennedy rolls off out of the ring and lands by the announce table just as Jack parker slides back in to check on Dante. Trinity runs around the ring and they embrace; her older sister holds up Kennedy’s arm as the referee does as well….
 
Phillips: “The Winner of the match…. Kennedy Street!”
 
Criticize plays throughout the arena as the crowd roars. Trinity and Kennedy hug again before she high fives Jonathan Knots….
 
Sharper: “Huge win for Kennedy Street, Trinity was the ace up her sleeve and she countered The Network! They were outsmarted, and the Sexy Flawless Diva survived a very dangerous and game Dante McCaffery tonight!”
 
Knots: “Huge win for Kennedy! She needed the momentum, the spark, I told you she was ready and Trinity was watching her back the entire time! Another step in the right direction for her World Title rematch and she will be watching that closely tonight!”
 
Sharper: “An incredible scene, Kennedy Street wins and it was Flawless, The Network is not happy!”
 
Kennedy and Trinity celebrate with Knots. Dante sits up holding his jaw while Parker tries to help him up and Budde gets to her knees…

Flashes of the Chamber structure can be seen. We see shots of Selena Frost down in the match, before showing Syren rolling over in pain, before cutting to a shot of Calvan Greene spasming against the steel and then showing Amy Chastaine down on the steel, and then a shot of Blake Mason looking around in his pod.

 

“For some…pain and destruction is in their future…”

 

Shots of The Real Speed, Shilo Valiant, Chris Cannon, Jake Starr and Ace Marshall in the chamber follow. We see shots of Ravyn Taylor bleeding in the structure, before showing Lucas Knight in it, and then cutting to show CHBK in a bloody heap too.

 

“For some this is a joyous occasion…”

 

We see a shot of Damian Angel smiling, before cutting to show Josh Hudson smirking and then Xander Valentine in the Chamber.

 

“Who will be this year’s victims?!”

 

Shots of the Chamber flash on the screen before they fade to a shot of the SCW Under Attack logo.

 

“SCW presents Under Attack, on Sunday, October 21, 2018, only on pay per view.”

 

The scene cuts to black.

Donovan Kayl vs. Damian Angel

 

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song.

Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins

During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp, inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd. Har Megiddo walk out behind him, joining him and calmly standing behind him.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Har Megiddo, from Hell, Michigan, he is Damian Angel!”

The lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. A red spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring as they begin their approach to the ring. By the end of the chorus, Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring, pulling himself to one knee. Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter. Har Megiddo walks around the ring. Damian unfastens the clasps of his robe, letting it drop down to the mat behind him. He glares out over the crowd. Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He repeats this process on the other three sides of the ring, and after the last one he hops off the turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Damian Angel attacking Donovan Kayl, looking to shake SCW to its core, taking out the cornerstone.”

 

Knots: “He keeps saying Donovan Kayl won’t be here.”

 

Sharper: “Well Donovan is close with Kennedy…”

 

Knots: “I’ve heard nothing. I don’t know.”

 

Damian walks around the ring. The crowd roars before "Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

 

A modern day warrior

Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

 

The music continues to play as Damian smirks. The cameras focus on the entrance way.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent…”

 

Phillips turns to the entrance way as “Tom Sawyer” continues to play throughout the United Center. Damian Angel watches the entrance way, pacing. The crowd cheers as the music plays for another ten seconds, but with no one coming out.

 

Sharper: “We would have seen Donovan Kayl by now.”

 

Knots: “I don’t think he’s here.”

 

Damian starts to smile wider as the crowd starts to boo a bit. The music fades out. Damian then walks over to Phillips as he goes to speak again. Damian asks for the microphone before just taking it from him. The crowd boos some more.

 

Damian: “Don’t tell me you all thought he would actually appear. The man is too cowardly to appear tonight and he’s already absolved himself of any responsibility for what follows. That is what weak men do.”

 

The crowd boos some more. Damian continues to watch the crowd.

 

Damian: “Don’t believe me? If he was here, would he allow me to continue to denigrate his lengthy career, reducing it to this exact moment where he realized his internal fire was snuffed out, just like what will remain of SCW in the near future? But alas, the Cornerstone is no more. He was claimed to be an anchor and he then proved he would drop and never return. It is my time to complete this though.”

 

More boos come from the crowd. Har Megiddo all smile at ringside.

 

Damian: “But I suppose I should humour all of you who came to see some sort of action involving myself and Donovan Kayl. I mean SCW advertised this night at its start as a land of opportunity. A completely ridiculous assertion, but so be it. I will provide an opportunity right now. Since Donovan Kayl is not here, maybe someone else wants to step up to face me. Perhaps Slayter McKinney, so eager to compete, wants to ignominiously lose her first match. Maybe Konrad Raab wants to prove he should receive a title shot and I can be his barrier. Or maybe one of the many competitors who come to these shows hoping for a chance…they can come out. So whoever is first…I shall humour you. Maybe you want to defend Donovan’s honour…I can think of a few people who may foolishly do that…”

 

Sharper: “Now Damian Angel is having an open challenge…taunting Donovan the entire time.”

 

Knots: “And our fans.”

 

The crowd boos as Damian Angel brings the microphone down. A few moments pass before we see a man running out from the back, wearing a red and black mask. He looks around before turning to the back and then back to the ring. Damian Angel just looks at him and scoffs. The man starts to head down to the ring. He pumps his hand as the crowd looks on. They boo a bit the masked man pulls himself onto the apron. He then steps into the ring and goes to the middle of the ring and spins once before dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. The crowd picks up on this, and some cheer.

 

Knots: “Now that looks familiar!”

 

Sharper: “Is…you don’t think?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know. Just saying it looks familiar!”

 

The man gets up and walks over to Phillips. He says something before Phillips introduces him.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Great Alexander!”

 

The man backs up and nods at the official. The bell sounds and Damian runs over and kicks him in the ribs and then again and again and again. Alexander falls into the corner.

 

Sharper: “The Great Alexander. And he may look familiar, but this also looks familiar! Damian Angel assaulting this man.”

 

Knots: “That I think removes some doubt for me!”

 

Damian grabs Alexander and goes to whip him across. He runs after as Alexander hits the corner and Damian runs over and nails him with a running clothesline. Alexander stumbles out and Damian scoops him up and hits a snap sidewalk slam. The crowd ohs and Alexander rolls over, holding his back. Damian grabs him by his mask and pulls him up before hooking his head. He then drives him down to the mat with the snap bulldog. The crowd ohs and Damian gets up and looks around. The crowd boos as Alexander rolls over, clearly in pain.

 

Sharper: “Damian Angel is destroying Alexander here.”

 

Knots: “He got an opportunity. Probably should’ve said no. Would’ve been interesting to see what someone like Slayter would have done…or you know…Donovan friggin’ Kayl!”

 

Damian then turns and drops down to the back of Alexander, driving his knees into his back. He then turns and grabs Alexander’s legs. The crowd buzzes as he then starts to pulls back. Alexander yells in pain. The crowd boos and ohs as Damian locks in the Crucifixion. He continues to pull back as the referee checks. Damian leans back, laughing as Alexander nods. The referee calls for the bell. Damian keeps pulling back as “Lucifer’s Angel” starts to play throughout the arena. Damian then steps off and starts to get up when suddenly, the crowd erupts in cheers as we see Donovan Kayl, in a coat and jeans, running down from the back. Donovan Kayl runs down the rampway and slides into the ring. The crowd roars as Damian turns and Donovan nails him with a hard right and then then runs to the ropes, nailing Behemoth with a hard right, as he falls off. He turns back and nails Damian with another hard right.

 

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl is here! He’s here!”

 

Knots: “He looks like he just got here”!

 

Sharper: “But he’s cleaning house! A shot for Behemoth. A couple for Damian!”

 

Damian hits the mat and he turns and knees Malphas as he gets up on the apron, knocking him down. Damian gets back up and Donovan Kayl runs over and nails him with a running knee. The crowd roars and Damian hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. The crowd cheers as Donovan Kayl runs over and grabs at Damian, but Damian staggers off. Kali runs over and joins Damian and checks on him. Damian pulls away. Donovan Kayl remains in the middle of the ring and paces as the official checks on Alexander.

 

Sharper: “Damian Angel bailing. Har Megiddo retreating and Donovan Kayl arriving, but maybe a bit late!”

 

Knots: “Who cares? He’s here and he’s certainly not a coward!”

 

Donovan Kayl remains in the ring, pacing a bit. Damian Angel looks up at him as the crowd chants for Donovan Kayl. Malphas and Behemoth join their leader. Damian Angel turns and storms to the back as Kayl continues to watch him as we then cut away.

The scene cuts backstage to the SCW interview area to see Owen Cruze with Jessica Winters. He can be seen pacing a bit as Jessica introduces him.

 

Jessica: “I am here with Owen Cruze and Owen…this is one of the biggest matches of your career. You face Regan Street in mere moments and she’s said yet again some strong words.”

 

Owen turns to her.

 

Owen: “This is the biggest match of my career. I thought that was the case with Blake at Rise to Greatness. This is very different. That one had personal aspects to it. This one…it’s professional, at least generally on my end, even if I think Regan Street has proven time and time again she’s not that good of a person. Even this, she takes out her half-brother and I’m the problem. She thinks I’m a bad influence. She brings up her past with my uncle.”

 

Owen pauses.

 

Owen: “This is the biggest match. I’m facing a sure-fire future hall of famer. Someone coming off one of the biggest matches in the history of this sport. And I’m going to try to win. Yeah, I could sit here and do it for Dylan. I could do it for AJ. That’s not true. I stood up for Dylan and I care about AJ. He’s my friend. But this…this is about me. And you know what, if I win…I’m made. If I lose…I’m going down swinging!”

 

Owen stops and looks up to the ceiling.

 

Owen: “Dad…I hope I can make you proud.”

 

Owen turns and walks off.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

 

We cut away.

Regan Street vs. Owen Cruze

 

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her.
 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by Mikaela Street and representing Past, Present, Future, from Santa Monica, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”


She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with boos. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, rolls her eyes and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela. Regan starts to jaw jack to the crowd. Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring; she flips over the ropes back first to the boos from the fans. Mikaela slides after her. Once inside the ring Regan goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way as Mikaela claps before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire and nods to her sister, handing her the gear and she makes her way to the corner while the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight.

 

Sharper: “Regan Street may be more unhinged now than ever before. Took out Dylan Howell. Owen Cruze stood up for that and Regan Street has been laser focused on him.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and we may see the Cruze Legacy ended tonight. Regan Street may be looking to take out the kid.”

 

The lights dim and flicker, as a voice booms throughout the arena.

“All I ever wanted was to leave a legacy. Something with which I would be remembered”

The voice is easily recognizable, and an ‘Icon’ chant starts to roll through the arena, as Steven Coopers ‘Born to Do’ kicks in, Owen Cruze stepping nervously out onto the stage.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, he is the Cruze Legacy, Owen Cruze!”

With a simple nod and a salute, Owen makes his way down the rampway towards the ring. Owen jumps up onto the apron and turns, leaning back against the ropes, but then stops and glances over at Regan who just glares at him. Owen avoids his normal entrance before stepping into the ring. He walks across a bit and stops in the middle of the ring. He glances up to the ceiling briefly before backing up. He then runs towards his corner, bouncing off, and stopping before backing up to the corner. Regan continues to just glare at him.

Sharper: “Smart move by Owen. Foregoing his usual entrance, knowing full well that Regan may just go right for him.”

 

Knots: “Match wouldn’t start then…just the ass-kicking!”

 

The bell sounds. Regan then walks out from the corner. She keeps her eyes on Owen. Owen hops out a bit, and the two circle the ring a bit and Owen can be seen hyping him up a bit before lunging in and Regan immediately goes for the eyes, raking them. The crowd boos and Owen turns away. Regan then clubs him in the back and then again and again. Owen falls into the corner Regan started in and Regan nails him with a hard right. Owen falls down to a knee and rolls along the apron. Regan then grabs him by the hair as we see Mikaela walking over to the ring, taunting Owen a bit. Regan then drags Owen up, who struggles to get his feet under him and throws him into the corner. Regan then goes for a hard right and nails him again. Owen spins off and holds his jaw. He starts to get up and Regan grabs him again by the hair.

 

Sharper: “Regan turning this into a brawl immediately. Owen Cruze has to fight.”

 

Knots: “If he thought this was going to be a wrestling match, he’s screwed!”

 

Regan drags Owen over to the corner and goes to drive him in again. Owen blocks it and Regan nails him in the ribs. She tries to push Owen down into the top turnbuckle, but Owen fights it off and turns and nails her in the ribs before shoving her back. Regan rolls through. She gets up and Owen lunges and takes her down with a double leg takedown. He then rolls through and goes for a side headlock. Owen tries to lock it in, but Regan slides out. Owen gets up and Regan nails him with another hard right. Owen falls back and through the ropes to the apron. Regan steps forward as the referee reprimands her for the closed fist. Regan turns and snaps at the official before turning to Owen and grabbing him, but Owen turns and hits a pump enziguri kick. Regan stumbles back and falls to her knees as Owen lands on the apron. He starts to pull himself up.

 

Sharper: “Owen caught Regan coming in. Quickly turning into a fight for survival for Owen. This is nothing like he’s ever faced so far.”

 

Knots: “Caught Regan right in the side of the head. Hit a few more of those and Owen could get a TKO here. That’s sure to make Regan happy!”

 

Sharper: “All this starting with Owen getting involved in something Regan feels he shouldn’t have. Bringing in Owen’s uncle and her issues with Shaun. Concerns about Regan’s son, AJ, his relationship with Owen.”

 

Owen springboards to the top rope as Regan starts to get up and Owen nails her with a crossbody. He goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Owen over the top! My God!”

 

Knots: “The kid got the hint! You got a chance to beat Regan. You don’t hesitate!”

She grabs his hair, pulling up on it and nails Owen with a hard crossface punch and then a second one and Owen rolls over. Regan throws a few hairs down as she walks around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Regan again just teeing off. Hard right hands. Nothing being held back.”

 

Knots: “Maybe making sure the kid is tough enough for this sport. Either that, or he’s going to make sure you stay the hell out of Regan’s way!”

 

Sharper: “And Regan just getting started again. Short-circuiting Owen’s offense there.”

 

Regan then runs over as Owen starts to get up and Regan hits a running dropkick to the side of the head. Owen falls over and rolls over and we get a shot of his face to see some blood coming out of his nose. Owen grabs at the ropes and Regan grabs him by the head and nails him with another crossface punch. Owen rolls over and Regan grabs him by the hair and tries to just pull him up to his feet. Owen however fights it as Regan keeps trying to pull him up, but Owen then grabs Regan by her top and turns and pulls her through the ropes to the floor. Owen then rolls over, holding his face.

 

Sharper: “Owen, may have a broken nose, but still fighting.”

 

Knots: “Fighting because he has to. Just like Owen didn’t hesitate, Regan is making sure he kicks Owen’s ass!”

 

Owen slowly gets up and Regan rolls back into the ring from the floor. She runs over and lets out a yell and kicks Owen in the ribs. Owen staggers back. Regan moves in and nails him with another hard right. Owen stumbles back to the ropes. Regan then storms over and just smacks Owen in the jaw and then again before pulling him out, but Owen then suddenly spins through and hits a hip toss.

Sharper: “Regan knows exactly what she is doing.”

 

Knots: “Teaching this kid a lesson. Not just that, but we heard her earlier. She’s protecting her family and she’s making sure that after she destroyed Selena, everyone respects her. No matter what.”

Alistaire Allocco vs. Sienna Swann

SCW World Championship

 

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Championship. First, the challenger, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

 

He marches down the ramp with his harms still held high. Alistaire doesn’t even give the crowd any attention as he heads straight towards the bottom of the ring steps. There he pauses, dropping both his arms. He rotates his torso a few times, swinging his shoulders, before he runs up the steps and across the ring apron. He steps inside, lifting a finger into the air, pointing to the sky as he stands there in the middle of the ring. His music dies as he continues to stand front and center.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco getting his opportunity after losing the title last November. The decision being made to finally give him his rematch.”

 

Knots: “In a decision that annoyed many. I think Kennedy should have gotten it, but so be it. Here we are.”

 

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Then Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd boos. The SCW World Championship is around her waist. Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her, Laura making sure that they take plenty of pics of The Beautiful Angel before making her way to the ring, Laura instructs the Twins to follow her to the ring as she disappears to the back with the photographers.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by the Truelove Twins, representing Past, Present Future and the Beauty Factory, from Johannesburg, South Africa, she is the SCW World Champion, the IronAngel, Sienna Swann!”
 
Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around and blowing kisses when one of the fans touches her. She stops, turns to the Truelove Twins who take out a sanitizing wipe and disinfect the area she was touched. Satisfied she continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide….
 
She looks up to the rafters as a gold spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to rain down on the entire arena. Sienna smirks and hops into the ring, spreading her arms out and smiling before taking off her wings from help of the Twins, they make their way out of the ring and to the back while Sienna stands, patiently waiting for the start of the match posing to the crowd as they continue to give a negative reaction.  She hands the SCW World Championship to the official. The official takes it and raises it over his head. Alistaire asks to see the title. The referee turns to him and shows it to him. Alistaire nods and smiles as Sienna glares at him before the referee hands it off to Jason Phillips as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann about to make her first World Championship defense and it’s a big challenge. Alistaire Allocco has beaten two former World Championship in the last two months. He’s been doing quite well and let’s not forget he won the title in his third match.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and that’s why I’m worried. He’s naïve as hell, but he’s got this ability to just pull it out of nowhere.”

 

Sharper: “A lot of confidence in himself. Just like Sienna. They’re very similar in that way. Two very different packages, but very similar in their attitudes to competition.”

 

The bell sounds as Alistaire and Sienna look at one another and Alistaire steps out and extends his hand. He smiles as Sienna just looks at him and scoffs before turning to London and Paris. She then smirks and steps forward and kicks Alistaire in the arm. Alistaire turns, wincing in pain and Sienna steps up and forearms Alistaire in the jaw. Alistaire stumbles back and Sienna forearms him again. Alistaire goes to the corner. Sienna moves in and grabs at him and turns to the corner, but Alistaire spins her into the corner and goes to raise his arm but the official starts to count. Alistaire just stops himself and backs up, apologizing.

 

Sharper: “Alistaire with the clean break.”

 

Knots: “Not sure about that. First chance for any offense and he just gave it up.”

 

Alistaire backs up another step and Sienna kicks him in the ribs. She spins Alistaire into the corner and then chops him. The crowd woos. She chops him again, more woos before forearming him in the jaw. The referee counts for the break.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco going to his wheelhouse. Those holds.”

 

Knots: “A bit different from what we saw with Owen and Regan. Regan trying to fight. Owen trying to wrestle. Alistaire trying to wrestle. Sienna should focus on striking!”

 

Alistaire then steps forward and snaps her over with a snapmare. He then steps up and locks in a neck crank. Sienna reaches out and Alistaire turns the head. Sienna grimaces as she turns.

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "What I Believe" by Skillet brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena.

With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the ice-shard cape she wears. 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your main event for the evening. First, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost wanting this match. She wanted to stand up as an obstruction for Giovanni Aries.”

 

Knots: “I don’t know how smart that is. She’s been happy to take the fight to him, but now it is a fight. It’s the actual match and she can believe all she wants. Giovanni Aries is not the same person he was two months ago when Kennie faced him and he was dangerous as hell then.”
