“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:
The scene opens up with a shot
of Alistaire Allocco celebrating at Rise to Greatness
XVI, holding the SCW World Championship over his head.
Phillips: “Here is your winner
and NEW SCW World Champion, Alistaire Allocco!”
We then see a shot of Owen Cruze running out of the corner and jumping up, hitting the
double Cruze Stomp on Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon
before seeing Kennedy rolling Chris through into a pin.
Sharper: “Owen Cruze! The athleticism! The agility!”
Knots: “Did he just hit a double
Cruze Stomp?!”
The crowd can be heard cheering.
“A new dawn is here and one with
the future taking hold of the present.”
We see a shot of Owen Cruze and Alistaire Allocco
talking backstage before showing Peyton Rice with them and then showing Aaron Blackbourne standing in the ring smirking.
“But the past present is
refusing to go down easily.”
We then see a shot of Sienna
Swann catching Selena Frost with the Kiss of an Angel backstage. Selena drops
to the floor before we see Chris Cannon nailing Owen Cruze
with a series of hard rights.
“And some old habits die hard…”
We then see a shot of James
Evans entering the ring and attacking Chris Cannon. Following this is a shot of
Syren being held back in the crowd, while brandishing
a steel chair.
“Months ago a new vision was
fought for and won.”
We see a shot of Owen Cruze pinning Syren, before
cutting to Regan Street, Kennedy Street, Selena Frost and Owen all celebrating
at Retribution inside Tactical Warfare.
“But that vision is under
siege…”
Sienna Swann can be seen
standing in the ring, talking to the crowd, before cutting to Syren doing the same, looking defiant. Shots of Giovanni
Aries turning around and walking to the back follow before we see Chris Cannon
spearing James Evans as James has Sienna on his shoulders. Finally, Ravyn Taylor locking in a figure four around the ringpost on Jordan Majors ends the sequence.
“Can the vision be saved?”
Selena Frost can be seen
brawling with Sienna Swann backstage before we see Owen Cruze
fighting back against Chris Cannon and Alistaire
Allocco suplexing Abigail Lindsay. The scene fades to
black.
“Heavier” by Slaves play as we
open up with a desolate landscape before the Apocalypse logo comes up on the
screen.
“SCW presents Apocalypse
2019!”
The logo remains on the screen
for a few moments before we cut to the inside of the Royal Farms Arena in
Baltimore, Maryland. Pyro shoots out from the stage and into the air as the
crowd cheers. The pyro display continues, shooting all around the big screen
before shooting off one final volley. Spotlights come out, circling around the
arena. The crowd cheers as cameras pan across the crowd.
Sharper: “We are live in
Baltimore as SCW and the Apocalypse are here!”
The cameras continue to pan
across the crowd for a bit longer before cutting to the SCW announce table to
see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.
Sharper: “I’m Adam Sharper
here with Jonathan Knots at ringside and tonight, the World Championship is on
the line as two individuals of the new way, focusing on competition, Alistaire Allocco and Owen Cruze
clash for the richest prize in this sport.”
Knots: “And we’re going to see
someone get humbled. Selena Frost or Sienna Swann.
Defying Gravity against Kiss of an Angel! Winner who hits their finisher wins
it!”
Sharper: “Four titles on the
line tonight too. Should be a hell of a night in Baltimore!”
Rachel Tatum Lee vs. Max Kane
The arena is silent when all
of a sudden Max's Kane voice is heard through the PA system.
KANE!
MAX!
KANE!
"Suck My Kiss" then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync
with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane is propelled from underneath the
ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and eyes the
crowd. Max yells at the camera before he stands on his feet. Max looks around
the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. The young man is
sporting a black, silver and gold "Rock N' Roll Unicorn" vest with
big spikes on the shoulders, a "Scream Machine" t-shirt underneath
and a pair of shades on his face. Max continues yelling towards the camera.
Phillips: “From San Francisco, California, weighing in at two hundred, ten
pounds....he is The Rock N' Roll Unicorn.... "MAD" MAX.....KAAAAANE!”
Max walks down to the ring, looking around the crowd. Max once again eyes the
camera and smirks as he looks at the ring. He faces the crowd, looking around
at everyone while walking past the camera before sliding into the ring. Max
stands u and throws his vest onto the mat. He yells to the crowd and motions
for them to make some noise. He points to every section of the arena before
extending his arms. He then claps his hands, yelling "KANE. MAX. KANE." The crowd responds as he smirks and retreats to
the corner and starts moving around, taking off his shirt and vest. He sees the
camera and makes a throat slash gesture to the crowd.
Max: That's what happening tonight. It's going to be a fight. I'm ready to
fight.
Max grips the top turnbuckle, steeling himself for the match ahead.
Sharper: “Mad Max Kane. He is one unique young man.”
Knots: “Let’s not forget reckless.”
Sharper: “That may help him, based on who his opponent is.”
The arena goes dark. A burning Doll House is shown with melting figurines
inside it, some hanging in the various rooms of that House. Laughter then can
be heard as the chimes of "Blue" by The Birthday Massacre begins to
play throughout the arena....
Sharper: “And Max’s opponent, the former SCW Underground Champion, Rachel Tatum
Lee, made her return at Taking Hold of the Flame, nearly winning the event.”
The black and white video tron begins to play of a
shadowy figure looking into the camera in a grungy feel to the video, a scream
is heard as then the face of Rachel Tatum Lee with her eyes widen, smiling
while laughing. Suddenly the dark figure known as Rachel Tatum Lee wearing an
all-black studded leather trench coat, gloves, matching Stetson and a noose
with a cowbell at the end of it around her neck walks out also sporting a
Hannibal like black half leather studded mask. She stops in the entrance way
and for a long pause looks around at the arena which she is showered in both
cheers and boos….
Knots: “And let’s not forget the war she went to with Brittany Lohan at Rise to
Greatness. She’s made some noise since her return. Most recently, she
interrupted Bree Lancaster.”
She slowly walks to the ring, her long dark brown hair hangs down her back
while gripping her noose and stopping a few times again to look at the crowd
even making eye contact to some until she reaches the ring. Once Rachel Tatum
Lee gets to the apron the crazy cowgirl takes off her mask where she stands
smiling sadistically, crawling into the ring and sitting in the corner
nonchalantly as they announce her....
Phillips: “And his opponent, from Dallas, Texas…she is Rachel….Tatum…LEE!!!”
Rachel with her hat still on just simply looks around listening to the chorus
of cheers and boos, she starts to laugh some with her eyes creepily widen and
keeping her focus on Kane. She slowly grabs the ropes and brings herself up and
takes off her gear, holding the noose up in the air while standing in the
middle of the ring with a scowl on her face getting a reaction from the crowd.
Lee slowly brings her arm and noose down ready for the match to begin.
The ref calls for the bell and both step out of their corners. Max smirks at
Rachel, who stares focused. Max lunges forward, but Rachel connects with a
forearm to the side of the head. She hits a few more forearms, backing him into
the ropes. She goes to whip him across, but Max reverses, hitting an elbow
smash. Rachel staggers back a little bit, and Max grabs her, before dropping
Rachel to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker.
Sharper: “This will be a unique mesh of styles here in our opening contest.”
Max goes for a cover.
1
Rachel kicks out. Max gets to his feet and runs toward the ropes. Rachel gets
to her feet as Max leaps off the ropes and hits a high cross body, but Rachel
rolls through, getting to her feet, and charging toward Max. Max sits up, just
as Rachel connects with a running knee. She goes for a cover of her own.
1
Max kicks out.
Knots: “These two wasting no time in trying to take the other out.”
Sharper: “Max showing his high ability, while Rachel brings a
no nonsense, brutal in your face attack.”
Rachel grabs Max by the hair before pummeling him with forearms. Rachel then
locks in a side headlock, keeping Max on the mat. Max manages to plant his
feet, slowly standing with Rachel. Rachel hits a few more forearms, only for
Max to connect with a shot to the abdomen, causing Rachel to loosen her grip.
Max then hooks Rachel and takes her down with a belly to back suplex. Rachel hits the mat, but rolls over and pushes
herself up, only for Max to hit a forearm, before hooking her once again, this time
hitting her with an overhead belly to belly suplex,
with Rachel landing near the corner. Max then climbs to the top.
Sharper: “Max going up top. This is where he can be the most dangerous.”
Knots: “And not only to his opponent, but to himself as well.”
Max looks at Rachel before leaping off the top, going for a diving headbutt, but Rachel gets out of the way, as Max lands
hard.
Crowd: “OOOHHH”
Sharper: “Max took a risk but crashed and burned.”
Knots: “Rachel used those veteran instincts to get the hell out of dodge.”
Rachel gets to her feet as Max is shown rolling over. Rachel hits the ropes,
before charging across and hitting a rolling Senton
splash onto Max, before going for a pin.

Max kicks out. Rachel gets to her feet and goes to grab Max, but Max kicks
Rachel’s left leg out from under her. Rachel falls forward and Max raises his
knee and connects with Rachel’s head. Rachel falls to the mat, holding her
head, as Max rolls away, seeming to take a breather.
Sharper: “Max Kane using Rachel’s move against her. Hitting
her with the Skipjack.”
Knots: “She’s used that move to turn the tide in some of her matches. Maybe
this will do the same for Max.”
Max gets to his feet, shaking his head, before grabbing Rachel off the mat. He
whips her across the ring, before charging after her, and taking Rachel up and
over the top rope with a hurricanrana. Rachel hits
the apron spine first before falling first to the floor. She slowly pushes
herself up, before Rachel turns just as Max leaps off the apron, hitting a
dropkick. Rachel is sent crashing into the announce table.
Sharper: “Max getting all of that dropkick.”
Knots: “Well, let’s not forget that Rachel hit back first onto the apron after
that hurricanrana.”
Sharper: “Max showing that reckless style of his. Its as if he is trying to end Rachel’s return before
it can truly get started.”
Max gets into the ring and stares at Rachel who is shown getting to her feet,
using the announce table for help. She turns and Max charges across the ring,
leaping over the top rope.
Sharper: “Max going for a suicide dive!”
Rachel leaps out of the way, just as Max hits the front of the announce table.
Max slumps to the floor, as Rachel is shown getting to her feet fuming.
Knots: “That is not a look anyone wants Rachel Tatum Lee to give them.”
Rachel stomps over to Max who is barely stirring. She grabs him the hair,
pulling him to his feet, before she whips him into the barricade. Max hits
hard, with Rachel following up with a running knee. Max slumps to the floor,
before Rachel grabs his head and begins to slam it against the barricade. Once, twice, and three times, before slinging him to the floor.
Sharper: “Rachel is angry, and nobody likes her when she’s angry. At least, from what I’ve heard.”
Rachel stomps Max in the head, before picking him up and rolling him into the
ring. Rachel goes for a pin.

Max kicks out!
Knots: “After knocking himself silly, Kane still has a little bit of fight in
him. That, or he’s acting purely on instinct.”
Rachel goes to grab Max, but he rolls her up into an inside cradle.

Rachel kicks out. Both get to their feet, and Max drops her with a running
cutter.
Sharper: “Max hits a running cutter and now both competitors are down.”
Rachel is shown rolling around as Max reaches up and begins to use the ropes as
leverage to get off the mat. Max shakes his head, as if he is shaking off the
cobwebs. He goes to grab Rachel, who hits Skipjack, dropping Max back to the
mat after driving her knee into his head. Rachel gets to her feet, looking
highly pissed off.
Rachel: “THAT’S HOW ITS DONE!!!”
Sharper: “Rachel letting Max know she’s not a fan of
him using her move.”
Rachel grabs Max by the hair, hitting a few forearms to the side of the head.
Max tries to cover up, but Rachel drives her knees into his head, before
hooking him and dropping him with oBITCHuary. The
crowd erupts upon impact, before Rachel rolls over and hooks the leg.
Sharper: “Rachel hitting that DDT she calls oBITCHuary.
I don’t think Max is even on this planet after that.”

The ref calls for the bell. Rachel slowly gets to her feet as “Blue” hits once
again. The ref lifts her hand as Rachel looks down at Max who is barely moving.
She shakes her head, still glaring slightly, before she shrugs and climbs out
of the ring.
Knots: “Hell of a win for Rachel Tatum Lee.”
Sharper: “Her facial expression tells you she is on a mission and that she is
all business. If anyone wants to question that, she made a believer out of them
tonight. Especially Max Kane.”
Rachel turns at the top of the ramp, and stares down at the ring once more,
nodding to herself before turning and walking to the
back.
Backstage, we see Bree
Lancaster watching the monitor backstage before turning away, looking annoyed
and Scott walks over to her and hands her the US Championship. Bree smiles.
Bree: “Thanks.”
Scott: “Don’t worry about her.
A long way to go until she earns the shot at you.”
Bree: “Better be the case.”
The door to the room opens as
Sienna Swann, Chris Cannon and Laura Steinbeck enter. Chris throws his bag down
in the room.
Laura: “They’re bringing the
rest.”
Sienna: “I hope so. Barely getting here on time. All thanks to traffic.”
Laura: “You know why we needed
to wait so long.”
Chris: “Nathaniel…”
Sienna smiles a bit. Bree smiles.
Bree: “Helps to get Sasha to
think about what happens if you leave.”
Laura turns to Bree and
smiles.
Sienna: “Don’t worry. We’ll
just make this much clearer. I knock Selena Frost out and remove one other
person who should be dealing with problems. We’re sharing our wealth. We’re
being leaders in society and getting a bad rap!”
Chris: “Relax Sienna. After
tonight, we will shut up many more. All three of us.”
Bree smiles.
Bree: “I’m looking forward to
it.”
The crowd boos as the scene
fades back to the ring.
Drake Hemingway vs. Cassidy Carter
The lights go out.
"Exciter" by Judas Priest plays from the loud speaker. Steam rises
from the stage. Out walks Drake Hemingway accompanied by his maiden Loretta
Inglewood. The spotlight shines on them as though they are angels being given
to us from the heavens, their aura tells a different
story. Both of them walk down to the ring, side by side. They reach the ring.
Drake walks up the steel steps, walks across the apron. He bends down extending
his hand to Loretta, pulling her on the apron, he then
opens the ropes for her. She enters the ring first. He follows. Both walk to
the center of the ring as the lights come back on. She smirks. He stands there stoically.
She exits the ring. He remains, waiting for the match to start.
Sharper: “There’s no denying that since he came to us from EMERGE that Drake
Hemingway has been on a tear, and now he finds himself about to face off with a
former World Title contender.”
Knots: “I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a fan of the way he and Loretta
go about things and who they have a problem with, but even I can’t deny how ht Drake’s been since he finally started competing here.”
The lights in the arena go dark for a moment, and the crowd hushes in
anticipation. After a few moments, the baseline to "Bad Guy" by
Billie Eilish begins thumping through the speakers.
The arena fills with a mixture of boos and cheers. As Billie's voice
begins singing, low red lights begin flashing in time with the rhythm.
Cassidy's face appears on the big screen, blood streaming down her nose as she
flashes a sadistic smile before her face disappears and her name flashes across
the screen in blood red letters. The red lights keep flashing. White strobes
begin flashing as Cassidy appears in the entryway. The crowd is louder
now, mostly booing Cassidy, but there are a few audible cheers mixed in.
Cassidy is wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and "Bad Guy"
sprayed on the back in red spray paint, and a pair of mirrored aviator
sunglasses. In her hand she holds a leash which is connected to Ace Marshall's
neck. She grins devilishly posing for a moment before walking down the
ramp, Ace following closely behind her. As she gets to the end of the
ramp, she pauses and looks back at her husband, who quickly moves and lifts her
onto the ring apron. Cassidy moves to the corner as Ace climbs the steps
before holding the rope open for her. She enters the ring and he follows.
She continues holding the leash as she moves to the corner, climbing the
turnbuckle and blowing a kiss to the crowd with her free hand, as the boos grow
louder. As she steps down from the turnbuckle she hands the leash to the
referee as she takes off her sunglasses and sweatshirt. The ref drops the
leash and Cassidy motions for Ace to get out of the ring. He obeys and
leaves as she waits for the match to start.
Knots: “I doubt any of that’s going to sit well with Drake, but when have Cassidy and Ace ever cared for the opinions of others?”
Sharper: “True, but one does have to wonder how much Cassidy’s truly invested
here. As we mentioned, she started off the year in contention for the World
Title, and she hasn’t really seemed as motivated in the ring after that
opportunity yielded no success.”
The bell rings and Drake moves to the center of the ring, ready to lock up.
Cassidy, however, just stays in her corner, almost looking bored as she and
Drake stare each other down. He motions for her to engage but she just laughs
and rolls her eyes before rolling out under the bottom rope. She grabs Ace’s
leash and pulls him into an overly passionate kiss, the fans giving a mixed
reaction as Drake just glares at them. She then begins leading Ace in a lap
around the ring, ignoring as the referee has started counting her out as she
and Ace exchange moments of brief caressing in areas that have Loretta looking
very irritated out on the floor, especially as they start getting close to
where she stands. With a smirk, Cassidy parks herself and Ace right in front of
her before going right back into a ravenous kiss, one eye of hers watching in a
way that’s daring Loretta to do something. Drake quickly exits the ring and
stands between them, which has Cassidy immediately scurry behind Ace who keeps
trying to goad Drake into picking a fight with him.
Sharper: “Certainly an odd start to this match as Cassidy seems more interested
in having fun with Ace than actually wrestling with Drake.”
Knots: “I’m not surprised, Adam. This is the norm for Cassidy these days, and
if she knows it’s getting under his skin then why not play
to her strengths?”
Loretta talks Drake down from behind him, especially as the referee leans
through the ropes and demands that this match actually gets underway. Drake and
Loretta back away as Ace just grins to himself for “winning” this staredown,
and Drake notices that Cassidy’s slipped back into the ring in the discord. He
slides in as well and ends up eating a low dropkick to the face! Cassidy begins
stomping away at Drake before the referee makes her back off for him being in
the ropes. She looks over to Ace before ordering him back into her corner, but
as he starts to comply she rolls out of the ring and can’t resist smacking his
ass as “motivation.” Loretta watches this with disgust and ignores Cassidy
turning to flip her the bird before hopping onto the
apron and ascending to the top turnbuckle, where she flies off and catches a
rising Hemingway with a missile dropkick! She goes for a cover.
1!
Drake kicks out! Cassidy quickly goes into a side headlock, smirking at Loretta
as she lets one of her hands start slowly moving towards Drake’s nether
regions. Her hands gets close before he suddenly grabs her wrist, and Cassidy's
surprise at this is enough to loosen her grip so Drake can slip free of the
submission and gets back to his feet before pulling Cassidy into a nasty
short-arm elbow strike to the face!
Sharper: “Cassidy got caught trying to test Drake and Loretta’s patience one
time too many!”
Knots: “Say what you will about their “purity” but make sure you’re ready to
fight if you get caught!”
Cassidy gets back to her feet, holding the side of her face and angrily yelling
at Drake over it before she charges at him, but he sidesteps her and sends her
rebounding chest-first off the ropes back into a snap german
suplex! Cassidy rolls over towards the ropes with
Drake in pursuit but stops when Ace reaches in and pulls Cassidy out to the
floor. The referee admonishes him for getting involved but he just waves it
off, saying something to Cassidy that the camera only partially picks up but is
clearly racy in nature to try and get her back in gear. While she certainly
seems to be getting motivated by his words, it gets cut off by Drake catching
her with a baseball slide that sends her into the barricade! Drake just glares
at Ace as he grabs Cassidy by the head before bouncing it off the apron and
throwing her back into the ring. The referee checks on her as Drake goes to
climb back in, but Ace finds an opening to use his leash to start choking
Drake!
Sharper: “Ace Marshall getting involved on behalf of Cassidy and trying to
choke the life out of Drake while the referee’s preoccupied!”
Knots: “With all the controversy surrounding Xander
and the whole concussion protocol, you can’t blame the ref for wanting to make
sure Cassidy’s alright. You can blame Ace, though, because God only knows where
that leash has been!”
Ace lets Drake go and shoves him back into the ring,
the referee turning his attention to the man as he innocently holds up his
hands and denies any wrongdoing. Cassidy has started to get to her feet now,
and when she sees Drake doing the same she quickly punts him in the gut! He
falls back into the ropes and tries to use them to help himself up, stumbling
forward just in time for Cassidy to catch him with a running crossbody!
1!
2!
Drake throws Cassidy off of him with a powerful kickout!
She’s undeterred by this as she gets back up and bounces off the ropes before
catching a rising Drake with a swinging neckbreaker!
She looks around at the fans who are giving her a mixed reaction, albeit with a
few more cheers than boos now to her amusement, before she starts climbing to
the top turnbuckle. She looks down at Ace and grins, turning her time perched
up there into a small routine of gyrating and slowly removing the half-shirt
before throwing it down onto his face as he grins like an idiot. With a wink,
she proceeds to take a page out of his playbook, but her attempt at Air
Marshall is cut off when Drake, having gotten back to his feet during her
“show,” clips her out of the sky with a savate kick!
He goes for the cover.
1!
2!
Ace reaches into the ring and grabs Drake’s ankle, pulling him off of Cassidy
just enough to break the count! He quickly scurries away as Drake just stares
him down in annoyance.
Sharper: “Ace managing to save Cassidy after her little show for him got cut
off with that nasty kick!”
Knots: “I know losing her shirt was part of the plan, but I doubt losing her
head was!”
Drake snaps right back to the task at hand, hauling Cassidy up just so he can
plant her with a scoop slam in the middle of the ring, following it up by
bouncing off the ropes and dropping a leg across her face. He motions for
Cassidy to get up, and as she begins to he catches her with an ax kick that
forces her to pop back upright before connecting with a dropkick that sends her
into the corner! Drake quickly moves to the opposite corner before charging in
full steam with a big boot that nearly takes Cassidy’s head off! He starts to
kneel down to make the cover, but a quick glance over to Loretta sees him shake
his head in belief that there’s more work to do. He eyes the corner before
grabbing Cassidy and throwing her overhead with an exploder into the
turnbuckles that sees her land on her head!
Sharper: “Drake Hemingway looking to systematically destroy Cassidy Carter
here! First the boot and then that devastating exploder into
the corner!”
Knots: “Something tells me the self-professed Purveyor of Purity has finally had
it with the antics of the Duchess of Debauchery.”
Cassidy rolls out onto the apron clutching at her neck, and when Drake goes to
continue his onslaught the referee forces his way between them and makes Drake
back off so he can check on Cassidy to see if she’s alright. Drake does so and
turns around right as he sees Ace sliding into the ring. Realizing he gets
caught, Ace abandons whatever plan he had and holds out his leash for Drake to
take, though Hemingway ends up kicking it out of his head. Ace looks shocked by
this before he suddenly reaches into the front of his pants and pulls out a
pair of panties, which he proceeds to throw at Drake! They bounce harmlessly
off of him as he glares at the offending garment before kicking it out of the
ring, but this gives Ace a chance to charge him looking for the One Eye’d Royal, only to be cut off as Loretta is suddenly seen
soaring in from out of nowhere and spiking him into the mat with the
Purification!
Sharper: “Loretta’s had enough of Ace’s antics and catches him from out of
nowhere before he could try to lay Drake out!”
Loretta kicks away at Ace until he’s been ejected from the ring before she
motions for Drake to finish the job on Cassidy. As she quickly takes her leave
before the referee realizes what’s happened, Hemingway turns to continue his
assault on Carter, but as he grabs her she grabs his head and drops his throat
across the top rope! He leans down, gasping for air, which allows Carter to
slingshot into The Fall From Grace! She quickly makes
a cover.
1!
2!
Hemingway kicks out! Cassidy looks beside herself and starts pleading with the
referee that it was a three, the camera catching some additional comments about
“something in it for him” if he just calls the match and gives her the win now,
but to no avail. She grabs at her hair in frustration before seeing Drake start
to stir and immediately pounces on him, trying to apply The Fabulock.
Before she can get her fingers linked across his face, though, he manages to
stand up while she desperately clings to the almost-crossface
before planting her with The Mark of the Beast! The referee drops down to make
a count, but instead of covering Drake quickly grabs Cassidy and hauls her back
to her feet before planting her with a second Mark of the Beast, this time
planting her with the side slam variant and with more authority! He makes the
cover now.
1!
2!
3!
The bell rings and "Exciter" hits again as Drake stands over Cassidy,
pulling his arm away when the referee goes to raise it and only allowing Loretta
to raise it in victory once she’s entered the ring.
Sharper: “Cassidy and Ace tried all they could to get under Drake’s skin, but
he and Loretta stand tall after an emphatic pair of Marks of the Beast to seal
the deal.”
Knots: “Regardless of whether or not you agree with these two playing the role
of the Fun Police, Drake’s making a statement at the expense of those he deems
impure.”
Drake and Loretta take their leave and start heading to the back with their
work complete, Ace crawling into the ring to join the referee in checking on
Cassidy as she continues lying motionless on the mat.
Sharper: “Let’s go backstage
where Jessica Winters is standing by. Jessica?”
The crowd boos as we cut
backstage to see Jessica Winters standing with Gavin Taylor and Scarlet Grey.
Winters: “Thank you Adam. I am
with the odd team of Scarlet Grey and Gavin Taylor-“
Gavin: “Odd? What’s odd about
it? Can’t you see someone like her teaming with me? I mean we’re both
A-Listers. We’re both underestimated!”
Scarlet smiles.
Winters: “Well just that
Scarlet and you have developed this partnership, not given us many details and
one wrinkle is that Scarlet and Kandis were allies at
one point and I don’t recall any issues?”
Scarlet: “There are none.”
Gavin: “What? You think I just
work with people who want to go after Kandis? This
isn’t personal! Kandis can think that. Tommy too. But it’s a misunderstanding. I’m just making an
impact. It was a joke. And well, Kandis has to go,
throwing her ass around, thinking she’s all big and bad. Scarlet here…well I
happened to see her, we chatted and we realized we’re both looking to make it
to the top.”
Scarlet: “I always like it on
top. Kandis should know that.”
Winters: “So this is just a
relationship of convenience?”
Gavin turns to Scarlet.
Gavin: “Look at her! Of course!”
Gavin smiles and walks off.
Scarlet turns and looks at Jessica.
Scarlet: “Are you really that
shocked?”
Scarlet then walks off. The
crowd boos.
Gavin Taylor & Scarlet Grey
vs. The Jackass and Big Ass Connection (Tommy
Valentine & Kandis)
Phillips: “The following
contest is schedule for one fall, and is a tag team match! Introducing
first....”
Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix) begins to play, and once the
guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand
out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a
smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every
fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down
the ramp, putting every runway model in existence to shame without even
actually trying.
Phillips: “Coming from unknown whereabouts.... Scarlet Gray!”
She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes,
taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of
cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. Once
she's in the ring she waits in the corner, eyes moving over to the referee with
a look that's just begging for him to come over and 'inspect' her for foreign
objects. She removes her entrance gear, setting the arm gauntlets on the top of
the ring steps.
Sharper: “This young woman here is no stranger to at least one of her opponents
tonight. Scarlet and Kandis teamed up at the
beginning of this year to challenge for the Tag Team Championships. They were
unsuccessful, and you have to wonder if that plays a part in why Scarlet
decided to team up with Gavin Taylor here tonight.”
Knots: “I don't know, Scarlet doesn't seem like the type that cares about
titles, just sex. Unlike Kandis, who cares about both. It's a subtle distinction.”
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show
The crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the
curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms
outstretched.
Phillips: “And her partner, wrestling out of Los Angeles, California.... he is
the All-Star Gavin Taylor!”
Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the
ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off
the ring while holding onto the top rope. Gavin pulls himself through the ropes
and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp.
He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out.
Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes then goes to his teams corner. Scarlet wiggles her body at him a bit, and he
just watches.
Sharper: “Gavin Taylor making his SCW Pay Per View
debut here tonight. Made his TV debut by assaulting Kandis
with what appeared to be hot water, a clear reference to a fight they had in
Emerge last year. Tommy Valentine took exception to that, as did Ryan Watson.
Both men wanted to give Gavin comeuppance for the attack.”
Knots: “Bet it's not the first time Kandis has had
two guys fighting over her. But, Ryan couldn't be involved here anyway, he and Autumn Valentine are defending the Tag Team
Championships later tonight.”
Sharper: “Kandis and Tommy being the former champions,
they're on their way out.”
The sound of a whip cracking gets everyone's attention, followed by the heavy
bass riff of “More Human than Human.” The sounds of a female in the throes of
passion seem to have been replaced with Kandis'
voice. When the moaning stops, the heavier music kicks in,
then Kandis and Tommy Valentine come through the
curtain. Both smirk as they look around.
Phillips: “And their opponents... from West Hollywood, California, she is Kandis.... and from Santa Barbara, California, he is Tommy
Valentine.... they are The Jackass and Big Ass Connection!”
The heavy music continues as the pair walk down the ramp, Kandis
a step ahead, with Tommy clearly watching her voluptuous rear end as they
proceed. Once getting to the ring, Tommy hops on the apron as Kandis goes up the steps. He holds the ropes open for her,
and she steps through, slowly, making sure all who are interested get a good
view (and pics) of her ass. Once in the ring, Kandis
walks around showing herself off while Tommy watches. Kandis
then walks to their corner, and Tommy follows, giving her ass a light slap as
they get to the corner.
Sharper: “The former champions with a brand new entrance theme and.... well,
it's something.”
Knots: “Who did she sleep with to get THAT past the censors?”
Sharper: “Stop it.”
Knots: “You're right, this is Pay Per View.”
We hear Sharper just sigh as the bell rings. After some discussion on both
sides, we see Scarlet and Tommy step out from the corners. Scarlet
walks slow, seductive-like, rubbing her sides and up to her chest, pushing her
cleavage up. Tommy watches, then smirks.... then shakes his head.
Scarlet frowns and Tommy grabs her into a lock up. She seems caught off guard
and he uses that to sling her across the ring into a neutral corner. Scarlet
hits and Tommy follows, nailing her with a clothesline into the corner. Scarlet
leans on the top rope, holding her shoulder. Tommy pulls her out, and sends her
across to the other neutral corner. She hits the turnbuckles, and Tommy
follows. This time though Scarlet gets her boot up and into Tommy's stomach. He
stumbles back. Scarlet comes out and grabs his head and hits a
DDT. She drops for a cover but Tommy shoves her off before the official
can start to count.
Sharper: 'Scarlet Gray getting nothing out of that.”
Knots: “Shows her inexperience there, no way was that going to be enough to get
even a one-count on Valentine. He's the most experienced person in this match!”
Scarlet scrambles to her feet while Tommy gets up. Scarlet goes to her corner
and tries to tag Gavin, but he backs away. She scowls, then leans over the rope
and tags him on the shoulder anyway. Gavin grabs at the spot she slapped,
looking shocked. The official motions for him to get in, starting a count.
Tommy watches from the ring, kneeling on one knee. We cut to Kandis who has her hands on her hips shaking her head.
Gavin finally steps through. He takes two steps towards Tommy then stops,
looking back at Scarlet.
Gavin: “You sure you don't want-”
Scarlet: “Turn around!:”
Gavin does as Scarlet yelled, in time to see Tommy coming at him, looking for a
spear. Gavin sidesteps just in time though, and Tommy nearly hits the ringpost instead, stopping himself by catching the ropes.
He spins around, and Gavin stands there with a big smile on his face. Tommy
fumes, and steps out, waving one hand in a 'come on' motion. Gavin shakes his
head. Tommy shrugs, and turns to Kandis.
Sharper: “Guess Tommy thinks Gavin wants to fight Kandis.”
Knots: “I don't think he wants to fight anyone.”
Kandis extends her hand and Tommy nods and tags her
in. Gavin takes a step back as Kandis approaches. She
circles him, and he turns keeping his eyes on her. Kandis
jukes forward, and Gavin takes a big step backwards. Kandis yells at him. Gavin steps up, lands an uppercut, and
steps back, out of Kandis' reach. She swings but too
slow to connect. The crowd oohs. Kandis goes for a
kick to the side but Gavin drops to the mat, then
rolls to the corner. Kandis yells more, while a some laughs are heard from the crowd.
Sharper: “You know Jon, you may be right.”
Knots: “Someone record that and make me a clip to replay at every convenient
moment!”
Gavin gets up in the corner and tags Scarlet. She shakes her head but steps
through. She and Kandis circle each other in the middle
of the ring a few seconds.
Sharper: “And now the former friends and one-time tag partners face off. Kandis isn't pleased with the way Scarlet aided Gavin in
getting the drop on Tommy backstage.”
Knots: “Of course she wasn't, that's her gimmick!”
The women lock up. They struggle for position, but Kandis'
strength gets her the advantage, and she reverses the hold then immediately
gets Scarlet up and over with a snap suplex. She gets
up quick and follows with a leg drop. She makes a cover.
1!
Scarlet kicks out. They get up at the same time. Kandis
turns to face Scarlet, and Scarlet greets her with a forearm. Kandis swings back, landing a hard right. Scarlet hits
another forearm, then another, and goes for a third but Kandis
blocks it, grabbing Scarlet's arm. She then lifts Scarlet up over her shoulders
in a fireman's carry, before pressing her up overhead. The crowd oohs.
Sharper: “Kandis showing of her strength here, not
many women can lift another human being overhead like that!”
Knots: “All those squats she clearly does must give her a strong base for
that.”
Kandis walks around the ring a few steps before
dropping back and planting Scarlet with a Samoan drop. She makes a cover.
1!
2!
Gavin runs in and breaks it up by kicking Kandis in
the back of the head. Kandis rolls over and up to her
feet, glaring daggers at Gavin. He puts his hands up and gets back on the apron
as the official directs. Kandis holds the back of her
head as she mouths off to Gavin. Scarlet comes at Kandis
from behind, grabbing her unaware and drills her backwards with a German suplex. Scarlet covers.
1!
2!
Kandis kicks out. Both get to their feet, and Kandis smirks, wagging her finger at Scarlet.
Knots: “Looks like Kandis appreciates Scarlet's
opportunistic manner there.”
Sharper: “It almost worked, Kandis was distracted by
Gavin.”
Scarlet shrugs. Kandis runs
at her and swings for a clothesline. Scarlet ducks. Kandis stops and spins around and Scarlet kicks her gut
then goes for a DDT. Kandis
gets her hands up though and pushes her off. She then kicks Scarlet in the
thigh, hard. Scarlet's leg buckles, but she stays on her feet. The crowd oohs. Kandis throws another kick to the same spot. Scarlet's leg
gives out this time, and she drops to one knee.
Sharper: “Kandis' kickboxing background coming into
play here.”
Knots: “I think I can see a welt appearing on Scarlet's thigh already!”
Kandis grabs Scarlet by the hair, holding her up, then swings her hips nailing Scarlet with the Gratuitous.
Scarlet hits the mat. Kandis covers.
1!
2!
Scarlet kicks out. Kandis gets up and pulls Scarlet
up, pushing her up against the ropes. Scarlet holds her head as Kandis runs the ropes and comes back, looking to
clothesline Scarlet over the top. But Scarlet scouts it and drop down, pulling
the rope with her and Kandis tumbles over, and to the
floor. The crowd oohs, along with mixed cheers and boos. The ref starts a
count. (1) We see Gavin Taylor run around the ring towards her. (2) Tommy sees
this and runs around the other side to cut him off, but he's a second too late.
Kandis is still down, starting to pull herself up,
when Gavin comes up behind her and stomps her in the back, knocking her back
down. (3) Tommy steps over Kandis and grabs Gavin, trying
to swing him into the ring apron. Gavin blocks it though, grabs Tommy's arm and
swings him instead, into the barricade. The crowd oohs. (4) The official yells
at Gavin, and he steps away, his hands in the air, and goes back to his corner.
(5) Meanwhile Kandis has pulled herself to her feet,
while Scarlet has been watching this from the ring. She sees Kandis on her feet, and suddenly runs and dives, looking to
take Kandis out. (6) But Kandis
sees her coming and evades, leading to Scarlet
crashing hard to the mat. The crowd roars.
Sharper: “My God, Scarlet Gray trying to take advantage of Gavin's distraction,
attempting to take Kandis out, and just took herself
out instead!”
Knots: “And Gavin can't believe it.”
(7) Gavin has both hands on his head, then runs around
the ring again to check on her. Kandis rolls into the
ring, breaking the count, but stays down, still feeling the effects of having
fallen to the floor earlier. Gavin pulls Scarlet up and rolls her into the
ring. Meanwhile Tommy has gotten up and is back in his corner. Gavin follows
Scarlet in, then runs to his corner, reaching for a tag. Scarlet manages to
reach and make the tag. Gavin gets in and runs to Kandis,
stomping her like he did on the floor. She turns over on her back, and he stomps
her stomach. Kandis though grabs his foot. Gavin
yells and tries to yank his foot free. Kandis keeps
her grip though, and sits up, then shoves his leg backwards, knocking Gavin to
the mat on his back. Kandis scrambles to her feet and
tags in Tommy. The crowd roars as he gets in.
Knots: “Gavin is in trouble now and he knows it!”
Sharper: “Trying to get away but he can't get to his feet.”
Gavin is trying to get up so fast that he can't get his footing. Tommy doesn't
wait for Gavin to get up though, he pulls him up by
the hair, then whips him across the ring. Gavin bounces back and Tommy drills
him with a spinning clothesline. Kandis claps from
the apron while we see Scarlet still recovering. Gavin
hits the mat hard but gets right back up. Tommy drills him back down with a
spinning heel kick. He makes a cover.
1!
2!
Gavin kicks out. Tommy gets up and pulls Gavin up, spinning him around to send
him into the corner. Gavin counters though and Tommy hits the neutral corner
instead. Gavin goes to him and delivers a chop. The crowd oohs at the echo.
Tommy grabs his chest. Gavin pushes him back up and hits another one, this one
harder. The crowd oohs again, as Tommy doubles over. Gavin grabs his head and
lands a DDT. He then pulls Tommy away from the corner,
and makes a cover.
1!
2!
Kandis dives in and breaks the count. Gavin gets up
and mouths off to her, and she slaps him across the face. Some cheers can be
heard interspersed with the ooh's. The official warns
her and she exits. Gavin turns back to Tommy, who has gotten to his feet. Tommy
then leaps with another spinning heel kick, knocking Gavin down. He then turns
and tags Kandis in. The crowd roars.
Sharper: “Finally! Gavin Taylor has avoided Kandis as
much as he could for this whole bout, except when he already had the advantage.
Now he's down and here she comes!”
Knots: “Just the way she likes them, on their back and begging.”
Kandis goes over to Gavin and stands over him. He
puts his hands up, pleading. Kandis shakes her head, then drops a knee into his chest. Gavin rolls over holding
his chest. Kandis pulls him up and shoves him into
the corner. She then runs at him and drives her knee into his ribs. Gavin leans
over, holding himself and coughing. Scarlet has recovered and watches from her
corner, unable to do anything. Kandis steps back, then drives her knee into the ribs again. Gavin drops to his
knees. Kandis backs away, as the crowd roars. She
looks around as Gavin crawls out of the corner a bit. Kandis
goes to her corner and tags Tommy back in. They both go to Gavin and Tommy hits
a running boot to the face as Kandis drives a running
knee to the back of his head. The crowd oohs as Gavin goes down.
Sharper: “I'm told they call that maneuver Twice As
Nice, although I don't think Gavin agrees with that description!”
Knots: “He still has enough awareness to get away though. Tommy Valentine now
the legal partner but Gavin wants no part of it.”
Kandis steps out as Gavin rolls to the apron and
slides out of the ring. Holding his head he sits on the floor. The official
starts counting. (1) Tommy turns to Scarlet and calls her in. She shakes her
head. (2)
Knots: “Come on Tommy! Scarlet isn't legal!”
Sharper: “He doesn't care, he wants to fight.”
Gavin pulls himself up using the apron, and shakes his head, trying to clear
it. (4) Scarlet has enough and goes over to him, then helps him get up on the
apron. They discuss a bit standing close to each other, Gavin shaking his head.
(5)
Sharper: “Looks like maybe Gavin has enough of this.”
Tommy has enough of the waiting and goes to the ropes,
he shoves Scarlet off the apron then grabs Gavin and yanks him over the ropes,
back into the ring. Before Gavin can get to his feet, Tommy tags Kandis back in. Tommy pulls Gavin to his feet before
getting out. Kandis waits for him to turn to her, then runs at him, grabbing his head and her knee ready to
fly up for the Starmaker.... when Gavin swings his
fist up and nails Kandis in the ribs. She keels over
sideways from the impact, hitting the mat and holding her side.
Sharper: “What the.... can he punch that hard?”
Knots: “Wait! Look at Gavin's hand! The debate on the apron was a ruse, she was giving him that thing!”
Gavin holds his hand up with a smirk, showing that he's wearing one of
Scarlet's metal gauntlets, which is apparently what he punched Kandis in the ribs with. The official clearly sees the
metal object and calls for the bell. Tommy gets back in and kneels by Kandis checking on her.
Phillips: “Your winners by disqualification.... Kandis and Tommy Valentine!”
Gavin rolls out of the ring, then pulls the gauntlet off and hands it back to
Scarlet. Kandis sits up and nods at Tommy. He then
gets up and glares at Gavin. Gavin backs away from the ring. Tommy slides out.
Gavin: “Oh crap!”
Gavin then turns and sprints up the ramp, away from impending doom. Tommy stops
at the bottom of the ramp, where Scarlet had stopped. They glare at each other
a few seconds, before Tommy slides back into the ring to help Kandis up. Scarlet turns and walks up the ramp, carrying her
gauntlets in one hand.
Sharper: “The Jackass and Big Ass Connection with the win here tonight, but
clearly not happy about it.”
Knots: “Kandis was about to put Gavin to sleep when
he stiffed her with that metal gauntlet Scarlet slipped him. He didn't even try
to hide it, he didn't care, just didn't want her knee to hit his head. Again.”
Sharper: “You have to believe that this is far from over, Jon.”
Kandis and Tommy stand in the ring, Kandis holding her ribs as they talk,
both looking annoyed as we cut away.
Backstage we see Syren getting ready and standing up as CHBK and Alexander
Crowe walk over with Ravyn.
Syren: “Where’s Christy?”
Ravyn: “Has the night off. Probably for the best. She’s getting a bit concerned.”
Syren: “Should we be concerned?”
Ravyn: “Hardly.”
Crowe: “What about tonight?
Should we go over the plan?”
Syren: “There’s no need.”
CHBK: “You sure?”
Syren: “You’ll be there, Alexander
too, if Aaron brings out his friends. They seem to convince him to do things.
But otherwise, maybe I’ll shut up a few people by just simply beating him.”
CHBK: “Don’t want to be
overconfident-“
Syren: “I’m not. I know I’m better
than him. Plus, it allows Ravyn to focus on her
plans.”
Ravyn: “Abigail has Glory. But
there is something to work on.”
Syren: “Good! Do that!”
Ravyn nods.
Ravyn: “Certainly.”
Syren nods and sits back down as
CHBK looks at Ravyn as Ravyn
turns and leaves. The scene cuts away.
Casterillo vs. Konrad Raab
Underground Rules
“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays
over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his
blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his
nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side
of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross
necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right
shoulder, Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back, Ice wolf on his left chest and
ice bear on his right chest.
Phillips: “This next contest is scheduled for one fall and will be contested
under Underground Rules…introducing first…From Cologne, Germany, he is The
Iceman, Konrad Raab!”
He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between
the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he
gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras
before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.
Sharper: “There we have Konrad Raab. Coming off a win
against Damian Angel at Rise to Greatness, to competing for the SCW World
Championship, Konrad has had one hell of a last few months. And Casterillo is going to be another challenge. This time, in an environment with no rules or restrictions.”
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.
Phillips: “And his opponent from Vangsa, Denmark…he
is…Casterillo!”
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.
Casterillo grabs Raab,
grabbing him behind the knees as he lifts him off the mat, driving him into the
corner. The ref calls for the bell, as Casterillo is
shown driving his shoulder into Raab’s ribs, three
times, before stepping back and charging. He connects with a running
clothesline, before grabbing Rabb by the throat and chokeslamming
him to the mat.
Knots: “Casterillo certainly not wasting any time
here tonight.”
Sharper: “He’s taking the fight to the Iceman.”
Casterillo proceeds to stomp on Raab
in his back, before the back of his head. He then begins to stalk Raab, who slowly climbs to his feet. Once
Raab stands upright, Casterillo
charges, taking him down with a running clothesline. Raab
hits the mat and bounces back up, only for Casterillo
to club him in the back of the head three times, before lifting him onto his
shoulder. Casterillo then proceeds to flip Raab off his shoulder, sending him back first into the apron
as Raab falls to the floor.
Sharper: “Casterillo taking Raab
to the outside in brutal fashion.”
Casterillo rolls out of the ring, just as Raab is getting to his feet. Casterillo
runs and grabs Raab, before slinging him into the
barricade. Casterillo then begins to dig under the
ring, before stepping back holding a steel chair. Raab
is shown getting onto his hands and knees, just as Casterillo
begins to slam the chair down on his back.
Knots: “Casterillo teeing off!”
Casterillo slams the chair again and again, bringing
it down full force onto Raab’s back. He tosses it
aside, before kicking Raab in the ribs, as Raab tries to get to his feet. Casterillo
lifts Raab off the floor and goes to whip him into
the barricade, but Raab manages to reverse, sending Casterillo shoulder first into the barricade. Raab follows up, charging and spearing Casterillo
through the barricade, as it collapses, and they spill out into the crowd.
Knots: “Holy hell!”
Sharper: “That is one way to turn the tide. Raab put Casterillo through that barricade wall, but how much damage
did he take himself?”
Knots: “I’m not sure he cares right now.”
Raab gets to his feet, just as Casterillo
gets to one knee. Raab steps forward, and begins to
land with boxing jabs, as Casterillo tries to cover
up and roll away. Raab lands with shots to the ribs,
before delivering three quick jabs to the head and face. Casterillo
manages to shove Raab back and charges, only for Raab to drop him with a spinebuster
onto the floor.
Sharper: “Raab with a spinebuster
onto that concrete floor.”
Raab grabs Casterillo off
the floor and whips him into the ringpost. Casterillo buckles a bit, before turning and pressing his
back into the post, only for Raab to follow up with
body blows.
Knots: “Raab back on the attack.”
Raab reaches up, grabbing Casterillo
by the head and delivering a quick jab. Casterillo
stumbles away, shaking his head. He turns and Raab
connects with another series of jabs to the side of the head. Casterillo shoves him away, before charging and connecting
with a running big boot. Casterillo grabs Raab off the floor before whipping him into the ring post.
He then grabs Raab and proceeds to slam him head
first into the post, before rolling him back into the ring.
Sharper: “Casterillo regaining control after that big
boot. Sealing it off by introducing Raab’s
skull to the ringpost.”
Casterillo digs under the ring, pulling out a kendo
stick, as well as a chair, and sliding them into the ring. He then pulls out a
table, as Raab is shown slowly getting to his feet. Casterillo slides the table into the ring. Raab gets to his feet, only for Casterillo
to take him out with another big boot. Casterillo
then sets the table , before opening the chair up and
placing it under the table.
Knots: “Alright, this can’t end well.”
Sharper: “Casterillo is one sick individual.”
Casterillo picks up the kendo stick as Raab slowly gets to his feet. Casterillo
begins to strike Raab with it in the back, as well as
his arms and legs. Raab turns around and Casterillo clocks him in the head with the stick. Raab falls down and rolls away, trying to scramble to his
feet. Casterillo continues to hit him with the stick,
as Raab tries to cover up, but to no avail.
Knots: “Casterillo going to town with that kendo
stick, bringing up welts all over Raab.”
Sharper: “And it is all legal when contested under Underground Rules.”
Casterillo tosses the kendo stick, before grabbing Raab and whipping him into the corner. He follows up with a
running clothesline. Raab buckles in the corner. Casterillo goes to connect with a punch, but Raab manages to block it, and begins to swing away with
rights and lefts, as well as straight jabs. Casterillo
manages to block a jab, before delivering a punch of his own.
Sharper: “Know Casterillo trying to strike with Raab.”
They begin exchanging punches, with Raab getting the upperhand quickly. Casterillo
dunks and rolls away. Raab charges and Casterillo kicks him in between the legs. Raab drops to his knees, as Casterillo
towers over him, smiling gleefully with the crowd booing.
Knots: “A shot below the belt will stop anyone’s momentum.”
Casterillo grabs Raab and
whips him into the corner. He delivers knees and elbows to Raab
in the corner.
Sharper: “Casterillo has Raab
in the corner.”
Knots: “Don’t tell Jason Helms that.”
Sharper: “The table is in the middle of the ring. We all know Casterillo put it there for a reason. He’s got some evil
intentions, I’m sure.”
Casterillo lifts Raab onto
the top rope. He then hits a few punches, before climbing up with Raab. He goes for another punch, but Raab
blocks it. He grabs Casterillo and headbutts him, before hitting a few more punches, as both
men now stand on the top rope.
Knots: “I think you’re right, Sharper.”
Casterillo headbutts Raab, but Raab wraps his arms
around Casterillo’s waist and leaps forward, taking Casterillo with him, as both crash through the table. Casterillo’s head is shown hitting the chair as well.
Crowd: “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!”
Sharper: “The crowd shares my thoughts exactly.”
The ref checks on both men, before it is shown that Raab’s arm is draped over Casterillo.
The ref begins the count.
Knots: “We have a pin attempt. Neither man seemed too
concerned with going for a pin and I am sure Raab
was barely able to throw his arm over his opponent.”

3!!!
The crowd begins to cheer as the ref calls for the bell. “Cold As Ice” hits through the sound system. The ref helps Raab up to his feet, as a few members of the medical team
race down to the ring. Some attend to Raab as he
stands in the corner, lifting his fists in the air, and shaking his head as if
he is shaking away the cobwebs.
Sharper: “Raab put not only Casterillo,
but himself through that table off the very top. Casterillo
seemed to get the worst of it though, with his head hitting that chair.”
Casterillo is shown starting to slowly stir as the
team continues to check on him. Raab is shown waving
off the team members talking to him, as he salutes the cheering crowd, before
we cut away.
We see a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator on
CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness before cutting to a shot of Kennedy Street
holding the SCW World Championship over her head from Rise to Greatness XV. A
shot of David Helms standing on the top of a scaffold follows before showing Shilo Valiant walking to the ring. Shots of Dark Fantasy
holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship, Rachel Foxx hitting the Foxx Girl
Stunner, assisted with a plane of glass, on Shorty Jr. and Simon Lyman having
his arm raised by Donovan Kayl followed.
“Want to experience history? Or make it?”
Several shots from past Rise to Greatness events fly on
the screen before cutting to black. The Rise to Greatness XVII logo comes up on
the screen.
“Rise to Greatness XVI
July 26, 2020
Minneapolis, Minnesota”
The scene slowly fades to black.
Datura 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
Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp ,
inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd. The lights in the arena
all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red
spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring...
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall
and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Hell, Michigan, he is the Hellbound Messiah, Damian Angel!”
He reaches the end of the rampway and 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. Damian
unfastens the clasps of his rope, 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: “In a match we never
thought we would see, Damian Angel faces Datura.”
Knots: “Not just that, but
this is one of the oddest. They’ve just had two moments where they’ve almost
welcomed one another in the ring. No words. Just smiles and
locked eyes. It’s creepy!”
Sharper: “But for Datura,
think about the story she may be thinking about. From the
Hellcat to Satan?”
The arena turns black. On the
screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the
speakers, an eerie synth pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins
speaking:
“The car’s on fire, and there’s
no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely
suicides, and a dark wind blows…
The government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the
curtains drawn. We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the
machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are
all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.
It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching
babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was
beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upward, everything washed in a
thin orange haze
I said ‘Kiss me. You’re beautiful. These are truly the last days. You grabbed
my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.”
A chorus of strings play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the
top of the ramp as “Dead Flag Blues” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor plays. There,
it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie.
She stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd
and sea of jeers that flood her way.
Phillips: “His opponent, from
Tampa, Florida, she is Datura!”
Datura trudges down the ramp, and the light follow. The silhouette of hands
reaching out to grab her can be seen on the outskirts of the light. Datura
ignores them as she climbs up the steps. The strings slow. Datura stands upon
the apron, cracks her neck, and enters under the top rope. She makes her way to
the corner and unzips her hoodie. She extends her arms outward and rolls her
neck, casting her gaze to the sky as her hoodie slides off her arms.
Sharper: “I have goosebumps
for this one.”
Knots: “Two of the most out
there people. Damian Angel has been a staple of SCW. Datura has always creeped
SCW.”
Sharper: “And they meet here
at Apocalypse.”
The crowd roars as Datura
looks at Damian as Damian keeps his eyes locked on her. The official, Michael
Constantine, calls for the bell, the ringing echoing throughout the arena. The
cheers begin more as Datura steps to her right. Damian steps to his right. They
start to circle as a “Datura! This is awesome!” chant begins. The crowd
continues to trade their chants before Datura lunges at Damian. Damian goes to grab
her, but Datura pushes away and rolls back. She smirks. Damian nods. Damian
then brings his hands up. Datura watches him and Damian lunges and goes for a
hard right, but Datura ducks and rolls underneath. Damian, however, pulls the
punch back and Datura nods.
Sharper: “First shots, pulled
back.”
Knots: “They’ve not even
really touched. This place is rocking.”
Sharper: “Adding to this has
to be a personal aspect to Datura. It’s the location of her greatest loss
against David Helms several years back.”
Knots: “Damian is going to try
to make the Apocalypse Datura’s nightmare.”
Datura then pushes up and runs
at Damian. Damian lifts his leg for a knee strike, but Datura flips over and
rolls through pulls him down with a school boy. Datura rolls back as Damian
sweeps his kick out and spins around. He gets up and turns and Datura nails him
with a hard right. The crowd roars as Damian stumbles back to the corner. He

saw an opportunity, but Damian, very aware.”
Knots: “Not just that, but
quickly able to turn it around. Caught her under the jaw.
Stiffen things up a bit. Datura can throw her shots in, but Damian’s not going

Sharper: “Damian gets the two,
but that’s all there. And now just dragging Datura up.”
Knots: “A bit different from
Regan, what Datura is used to. Damian doesn’t care about any of that!”
Sharper: “And just jerking her
around and right into the corner!”
Damian runs Datura face first
into the top turnbuckle. She turns and Damian chops her in the throat. The

Sharper: “Datura showing her
ability to shock you just finding ways to get out!”
Knots: “And she had that
scouted. Damian loved to go for that snap elbow. She caught him and it led to
all of that!”
Sharper: “Datura always
watching and scouting. She can’t do the half measure. And
Damian maybe taking her a bit lightly? I’m not sure.”
Datura leans back, pushing up
as Damian grimaces. The official checks on him and Damian ignores him, trying
to fight. Datura continues to squeeze and smiles before Damian slowly starts to
jockey. He then rolls over and Datura rolls to her stomach. Damian then pushes
down on her legs and gets free before bending her legs forward and leaning
forward. He starts to try to lock in the Crucifixion. The crowd roars as Datura
tries to get free. He grabs one arm and tries to grab the other one. Datura
keeps it away before Damian nails her in the ribs with a hard right and then
another. Her arm pulls back and Damian tries to hook it, but Damian steps
forward and Datura tries to crawl back, slipping out, but Damian then grabs her
head, keeping hold of her right arm and then rolls forward and into a variation
of a crossface chickenwing.

through! Datura tried to get out of the crucifixion!”

locking in something else!”

Damian stands up and looks
down at her. Datura looks out before Damian bends over and pulls her up by the
hair and drags her up. He then hoists her up for a back suplex
before throwing her forward, face first into the mat. Damian looks at her
before grabbing the top turnbuckle. He climbs up to the middle rope and then to

Damian lands on his feet. He steps forward and Datura gets up and jumps up and

holding his left shoulder. He pops up and Datura lunges, grabbing his left arm
and pulls it back into a hammerlock before rolling through. She uses her
momentum to pull Damian in and hook his head, locking
in the Fever Dream, right in the middle of the ring!
Sharper: “Rolling through,
hooking his head! The arm is trapped! The head locked in. The scissors hooked!”
Knots: “Datura knew she had
the opening! No hesitation!”
Damian reaches out with his
right arm and tries to grab at anything, but Datura pulls back. Damian turns to
grab at Datura’s arm, but then pulls it back out. He tries to reach out again,
as the referee checks. Datura keeps pulling back, refusing to give an inch as
the crowd cheers. Damian’s arm starts to drop. It has one last sign as he lifts
it up, but it drops again. The official looks on, checking the face of Damian,
now with his eyes closed. Constantine grabs the arm of Damian and lifts it up.
It drops and Constantine gets up and calls for the bell. The bell sounds and
the crowd cheers. Datura holds on a second longer to make sure before
Constantine taps her shoulder. She lets go and pushes him over. She rolls away
and looks at him.
Phillips: “Here is your
winner, via submission, Datura!”
Constantine heads over to
Datura and raises her arm. She goes along with it, looking at Damian before
getting up. The crowd cheers.
Sharper: “Datura locked in the
Fever Dream and put Damian to sleep!
Knots: “She just beat Satan
himself! Probably something she’s wanted to do for years!”
Sharper: “Not down with the
Devil, but defeating him!”
Datura gets up and pulls away
as her music plays throughout the arena. She looks around, the crowd cheering
her. She looks around and listens to it and nods before turning back to Damian.
A smile appears on her face for a moment before she turns and rolls under the
ropes to the floor. She backs away a bit, looking at the ring before we cut
away.
A shot of various scenes from previous Under Attack
commercials are shown, including an early shot of an armament, another shot of
the Chamber, before cutting to a shot of people picking up weapons before
static hits. We then see Alistaire Allocco standing
in the room and looking around. We see a gun locker in the room.
Allocco: “No…this isn’t right.”
We see a man walk out from a director chair.
Director: “What’s up Alistaire?”
Allocco: “This…this isn’t right. We don’t need the
weapons. We compete. We become them. We fight with honour.”
Director: “So what do you want? Someone
else? You disarm someone.”
Allocco: “No…no…just….”
Allocco smiles.
Allocco: “I know.”
We then sudden cut to a shot of Alistaire
Allocco on a gym mat.
We then see someone running at him and Allocco grabs him and suplexes him over. We snap cut to seeing someone getting
taken down with a Greco-Roman takedown before cutting to a shot of someone
getting German suplexed over and another just flying
across the screen. We then cut to see Alistaire
holding his arms up. The camera pans back to show the Director. He shrugs.
Director: “Whatever. It works!”
The Under Attack logo comes up on the screen.
“SCW presents Under Attack, on Sunday, October 27, 2019,
only on pay per view!”
We then see a random person suplexed
across the screen as the scene cuts to black.
We see Datura walking down the
hallway and then stops and she looks up. Regan Street, holding the SCW
Adrenaline Championship, walks over toward her. The crowd roars. Regan and
Datura look at one another. They size each other up with their eyes before
Datura smirks and walks past her. Regan glances at her before Mikaela Street
walks over to her.
Mikaela: “Forget about her.”
Regan turns and heads past the
camera as Mikaela follows as the scene cuts away.
Asher Hayes vs. Regan Street
SCW Adrenaline Championship
The arena lights dim down, as
the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the
arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through
the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the
stage. He runs to each side of the stage, telling the crowd to give him
more, earning himself an onslaught of cheers from the fans. He nods in
approval, before e makes his way down the ramp as the
cheers of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs
to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, saluting the crowd
before dropping down and running to the opposite side, igniting a thunderous
reaction from the crowd once again.
Sharper: “Asher Hayes made a surprise return at Rise to Greatness, earning
himself a shot at either the United States or Adrenaline Championships. He made
it known on the first Breakdown back which title he wanted to contend for.”
Knots: “And it’s been an interesting road for Asher. He lost to Bree Lancaster,
then got dropped by Regan. It seemed this was going to
be a rivalry based on respect, only for Regan to strike, after Asher’s loss.”
Sharper: “And Asher made it known that he wasn’t playing those games.”
The lights dim again before we see a claw scratch through the proverbial screen
on the entrance set. The crowd roars before we see a stylized Hellcat push
through. It roars before pyro shoots out from in front of the stage and high
into the air twice. “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black
starts to play throughout the Royal Farms Arena as the crowd cheers. A few
moments pass before Regan Street walks out from the back, the SCW Adrenaline
Championship around her waist. Mikaela Street walks out with her and the two
look down at the ring. Regan and Mikaela scan the stadium as Asher is shown
stretching in the ring. The nameplate comes up for Regan. She then starts to
walk to the ring, focused completely on the
ring.
Regan Street walks a few feet in front of her sister Mikaela. They reach the
ring, and Regan climbs inside. She locks eyes with Asher, who simply nods.
Regan climbs to the top rope, taking off her Adrenaline Championship and
lifting it high above her head, as the crowd cheers once more as loud as
possible. Regan drops down and hands the title to the referee, who lifts it up
once more.
Sharper: “Regan won the Adrenaline Champion after defeating Rayvn
Taylor. She has held that title with an ironfist, and
remains focused to ensure she doesn’t lose her grip.
Phillips steps forward, looking to move things along, standing behind the
official.
Phillips: “First, the challenger, standing to my left…from Chicago, Illinois…he
is…ASHER…HAYES!!!”
The crowd cheers as Asher acknowledges the crowd once again.
Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, from Santa Monica,
California, she is the reigning and defending SCW Adrenaline Champion, the
Hellcat, Regan Street!”
Regan salutes the crowd, but quickly returns her attention to Asher. The ref
hands the belt to the timekeeper, before asking both competitors if they’re
ready. Both nod, and the ref calls for the bell. Both step to the center of the
ring, butting their heads together. Both are shown talking to the other, before
they step back and begin exchanging punches, as the crowd begins to roar. Regan
drives a knee to Asher’s ribs. She steps back, springing off the ropes, only
for Asher to quickly take her down with a discus clothesline. Regan hits the
mat, but quickly scrambles to her feet, just as Asher turns around, before
leaping into the air and connecting with a Pele kick, stunning Regan. Asher
hits the ropes, springing up and taking Regan down with a tornado DDT.
Sharper: “Regan got the better of the punching exchange, but Asher was able to
turn things around and he plants Regan with that springboard tornado DDT.”
Asher goes for the cover.

out face buster. Regan hits the mat and rolls over onto her back, as Asher gets

Regan kicks out again.
Sharper: “Asher has been on fire so far in this contest, using that experience
factor, and taking the fight to the champion.
Knots: “Yeah, Regan said she wanted to motivate him. Looks
like she did. It just appears she’s not being as aggressive as she
normally is. Or at least, during her feud with Datura.”
Regan rolls out of the ring, holding onto the apron. She is shown glaring at
Asher as he gets to his feet. They lock eyes, as he motions for her to step
inside.
Sharper: “Asher welcoming Regan to get back into the ring.”
Knots: “He’s giving her a chance to breathe. That’s may
not be a the best of ideas, especially if Regan decides to kick it up a notch.”
Regan gets into the ring, dusting herself off. She motions for Asher to bring
it. Asher steps forward and both begin exchanging punches, with Asher getting
the better of Regan. He bounces off the ropes, only for Regan to leap up and
connect with a standing dropkick. Asher hits the mat. Regan is all over him,
connecting with elbows to the side of the head, before rolling away and
climbing to her feet. Asher is shown holding his head, only for Regan to
connect with a leg drop, followed by a second, then a third. Asher rolls away,
holding his head once again. Regan hits the ropes, bouncing off before
connecting with a running baseball slide to the side of the head. Regan gets to
her feet and climbs to the top rope. She looks down at Asher who is still on
the mat, before she leaps off the top rope, connecting with a moonsault of her own.
Crowd: “OOOHHHH”
Regan rolls away holding her ribs for a second.
Sharper: “Regan turning the tide and getting all of that moonsault.”
Knots: “It looks like it did some damage to her as well.”
Regan rolls over and hooks the leg, going for a pin.

Knots: “Regan getting another two count. She’s showing some signs of that
aggressive side that has led her to countless victories in the SCW.”
Asher is shown getting to his feet, using the ropes only for Regan to run
toward him, and leaping up, hitting a missile dropkick, sending Asher over the
top rope and out onto the floor.
Sharper: “The Champion sending the Challenger to the outside.”
Regan gets onto the apron as Asher is shown stirring and climbing to his feet.
He turns just as Regan charges and leaps off the apron. Asher reacts, leaping
up, and connecting with a drop-sault, as both fall to
the floor. The ref begins the count.
Ref: “1…2…3….”
Sharper: “Regan went high, but Asher did as well, with his back flip into a
dropkick like maneuver, using that experience once again.”
Asher is shown getting to his feet as the ref continues the count.
Ref: “4…5…6…”
Regan gets to her feet only for Asher to charge toward her, leaping into the
air, and hitting a flying forearm, taking her back down to the floor. Asher
gets to his feet, as the ref’s count continues.
Ref: “7…8….”
Asher gets into the ring then rolls out. He turns, only for Regan to catch him
with a running hurricanrana, sending Asher shoulder
first into the steel steps. Regan charges, but Asher moves out of the way, only
for Regan to leap onto the top step. Asher turns and Regan leaps, taking him
down with a high cross body.
Sharper: “These two are beating the unholy hell out of each other. If Regan
maintains this aggressive attitude, she could pull this off.”
Knots: “Well, if they want a decisive winner, they need to break up the ref’s
count.”
Ref: “6…7…8….”
Regan rolls into the ring, and back out of again, as Asher is shown getting to
one knee. Regan clubs him in the back before whipping him into the ring post.
Asher hits, and leans into the post. He slowly turns as Regan charges and
leaps, for a splash, but Asher rolls out of the way, causing Regan’s head and
upper body to hit the post. Asher gets to his feet, grabbing Regan and rolling
her into the ring. He rolls inside as well, as Regan is shown using the ropes
to help pull herself up. Asher clubs her in the back,
before grabbing her, lifting her up for a back-body drop, only to plant her
face first into the mat. Asher rolls her over and goes for a pin.

Sharper: “Do we have a new Adrenaline Champion?”

Regan kicks out! The crowd
explodes.
Sharper: “No!”
Knots: “Asher only got two.”
Asher rolls away and gets to his feet. He grabs Regan off the mat, and delivers
a knife edge chop, before whipping her into the corner. He follows up with a
running knee. Regan buckles in the corner, but maintains her balance. Asher
steps back and delivers a few kicks to the ribs as well as one to the head,
before leaping up and spinning, before connecting with a flying forearm. Regan
buckles again, but Asher hooks her and places her on the top rope. Asher grabs
the ropes and begins to climb, but Regan fires away, kicking him in the face.

Regan rolls over, holding her ribs as she hooks the leg.

Knots: “Does Regan retain?”
3…NO!!! Asher shoots the shoulder up! The crowd erupts once again.
Regan is shown looking stunned.
Sharper: “This crowd and even Regan can’t believe Asher kicked out!”
Regan is shown talking to herself as she pulls herself to her feet.
Sharper: “The Champion seems to be questioning herself.”
Knots: “Now could be a good time to kick it into fifth gear as we’ve all seen
Regan do.”
Sharper: “You might be right, partner.”
Regan grabs Asher by the hair as he is shown slowly standing up. Regan begins
to drive her knees into Asher’s ribs, only for Asher to shove her back. Regan
charges, only for Asher to grab her and plant Regan with a spinebuster.
Sharper: “Regan with those knees. It appeared she was going for another knee,
but Asher used her momentum against her.”
Regan rolls over and slowly pushes herself up off the mat, just as Asher gets
to his feet. They look at one another and nod, before exploding with punches.
Regan gets the upperhand and goes for a haymaker, but
Asher quickly reverses it, pulling her down into a crossface.
Knots: “Regan growing more aggressive.”
Sharper: “And Asher is using his veteran instincts to turn that against her.”
The ref immediately begins to check Regan, who seems to refuse to submit, as
she reaches towards the ropes. Asher pulls back, as the crowd is heard roaring.
Regan continues to reach towards the ropes. She pushes with her legs, nudging closer
and closer.
Sharper: “The Champion desperately reaching for those ropes, showing she has no
quit in her.”
The ref checks again.
Regan: “NOOOO!!!”
The crowd explodes, as Regan nudges closer, finally grabbing the ropes. Asher
immediately breaks the hold and gets to his feet. He grabs Regan, pulling her
up from the mat, but she fires away with a European uppercut, before grabbing
Asher and driving her knee into Asher’s abdomen, then his head as she hits two
more knees. She then hooks him.
Sharper: “Looks like Regan is going for the Catnap!”
Knots: “If she hits this, then that is it for Asher’s title hopes here
tonight.”
Regan begins to drive Asher back, but he wiggles out of her grip, clubs her in
the back of the head. Regan turns and Asher hits a dropkick to the knees. Regan
drops to her knees, as Asher rears back then charges, connecting with a running
knee.
Sharper: “Asher blocked the Catnap, once again relying on those veteran
instincts.”

Asher goes for the cover.

the shoulder up!
CROWD: “THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!”

this match.”

did earlier.”

The crowd erupts as the ref calls for the bell. “Rope” begins to blare through
the arena as Asher slowly sits up, looking in disbelief.
Phillips: "And here is your winner...and new...SCW Adrenaline Champion...ASHER
HAYES!!!"
Sharper: “Asher blocked the knee and took Regan down with the Ashes to Ashes,
putting all he had into the move, and it has brought him the SCW Adrenaline
Championship.”
Knots: “That was one hell of a match. It could have gone either way. Both kept
digging down deeper and deeper, but in the end, we have a new SCW Adrenaline
Champion.”
Asher is shown slowly crawling to the ropes, as Regan is shown stirring. Asher
pulls himself up, just as Regan is shown doing the same. The ref is handed the
Adrenaline Championship, and he goes to give it to Asher, but Regan stops him
and jerks the belt away. Asher turns to see her standing there with the title,
as she is shown looking at him before looking at the belt and back at him.
Knots: “Wait, Regan has the title.”
Sharper: “What is she doing?”
Regan and Asher look at one another once again, shown talking to one another
and nodding, before Regan reaches over and grabs his hand, lifting up with one
hand, and giving him the belt with the other. The crowd’s cheers grow even
louder.
Sharper: “And with that, Regan showing the new champion a high level of
respect.”
Knots: “I’d say they both earned the respect of the other, despite how things
went and what was said leading up to this match.”
Regan points to Asher once again, before stepping away and out of the ring.
Asher is shown looking down at the belt, before Regan is shown walking toward
the back. The camera returns to the ring, as Asher climbs to the top rope,
lifting the SCW Adrenaline Championship high above his head, as “Rope” hits
once more, with the crowd applauding Asher as the new champion.
The scene fades out before a
recap video plays showing the history of James Evans and Chris Cannon leading
to their match.
James Evans vs. Chris Cannon
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.
“Exodus” hits 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.
The crowd boos loudly.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall
and has a thirty minute time limit. First, hailing from London, England by way
of Hermosa Beach, California, he is representing the Beauty Factory, Chris
Cannon!”
The crowd continues to boo him 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 would slap normally but doesn't as he continues
down to the ring. Once at the bottom of the ramp 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’s negative reaction continues.
Sharper: “Chris Cannon is just
angry at a lot, but he’s someone who is not going to back down from this
challenge.”
Knots: “James wanted a fight.
Chris wants a title match. Win tonight, he could give James a fight he can’t
win and get that title match. We’ll see. But he’s looking to make James Evans
regret his actions!”
The opening of “Door to Door
Cannibals" can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera
will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a
positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera
remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as
James looks out at the crowd.
"Your name isn't proud demented man
Hold tight to the lie you sold to them
Take God and the case below
It falls on the day with much to learn
But you didn't get it
No you didn't get it
But you didn't get it
No you didn't"
Phillips: “His opponent, from
New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”
James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various championships
and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and
makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd. James then steps into the ring and walks to the center of it,
removing his black hoodie, maintaining his focus.
Sharper: “James is here, but
Chris now wants to fight!”
Knots: “Here he comes!”
Chris goes right for James,
pulling him in and running him into the corner. James turns as the crowd roars.
The referee calls for the bell and Hollinsworth steps
back as Chris nails James with a hard right and then a left and then another
and another as James covers up from the body shots. The crowd boos while just
making noise and Chris pops James with a hard right. James staggers out of the
corner.
Sharper: “And the fight is on
as Chris Cannon throwing bombs!”
Knots: “Hollinsworth
started the match immediately. He heard both and he’s going to let them fight!”
Chris follows up and grabs him
and pulls him into the corner, but James spins him in. The crowd roars as James
nails him with a knee to the ribs and then another and another. The referee
counts.

gotten some good shots in already, but James firing back!”
James then grabs Chris. (5) He
looks at the ring before running him into the ring. Chris rolls in and gets up.

Sharper: “James catching Chris
hard across the chest, the throat, the head, with those clotheslines!”

get all of them and they’re just knocking Chris for a loop!”

him in the ribs. He grabs him and whips him across the ring again. He then runs

ribs on that one or maybe just deposit James’ gallbladder under his knee cap. All for the people!”
James starts to get up and
Chris pulls him up and pulls him in and hooks his arm and hits a vertical suplex. He turns and goes for the lateral press.

out all of his frustrations, the lack of title opportunities, the lack of success, all on James Evans.”
Knots: “No doubt trying to

her crap about for the people. Chris does half of this for Sienna.”

finding himself hurt! James Evans relentless attacking

Knots: “How does that feel,

Cannons were great at dirty fighting!”

Chris runs over and kicks
James in the ribs and then clubs him in the back and then again before hooking
him up by the head. He hoists him up and hits a vertical suplex.
He then backs up and turns and moves to the corner. He then smirks as he drops
down, waiting for James to get up. James winces a bit as he does and Chris
moves forward when we see two masked figures running down from the back, one
smaller, with a feminine physique, the other much larger. The smaller one
slides into the ring. Chris turns and looks at her and lunges at her, but she
ducks and his a superkick to
the back of his head. Chris falls through the ropes to the floor. The crowd ohs and some cheer. Chris rolls over and the bigger masked
figure grabs Chris and hoists him up for a vertical suplex
before swinging him back down into a one-arm slam on the floor. The impact is
with a thud and Chris is seemingly knocked out from the impact. The smaller
figure leaves as the bigger man grabs Chris.
Sharper: “What the hell is
this?!”
Knots: “Two people are
attacking Chris Cannon!”
Sharper: “Or helping James
Evans?! What in the world?”
Knots: “Whatever they’re
doing, Chris is hurt!”
The bigger man deadlifts Chris
up and pushes him into the ring. They head off as James stirs. Chris rolls into
the ring as Hollinsworth comes to as well. James however
sees Chris and Chris rolls over, almost looking like
he’s getting up. James is a bit confused before walking over and instinctively
grabbing him and hoisting him up before hitting the Middle Finger to the
Establishment! James then turns and notices the two masked figures heading down
along the side of the rampway and heading to the
back. James looks confused before looking around and pinning Chris.
Sharper: “I think James just
saw them.”
Knots: “He doesn’t even look
like he knows what he saw. What I do know is he just planted Chris!”
Sharper: “Chris was already
down! Hollinsworth recovering!”

The crowd roars and the bell
sounds. James rolls off and moves to his knees. He looks at the stage before
turning to Hollinsworth and then Cannon.
Phillips: “Here is your
winner, via pinfall, James Evans.”
James continues to look
confused as Chris remains down.
Sharper: “James Evans
victorious, but now he’s got other questions.”
Knots: “So they weren’t with
him?”
Sharper: “I don’t know. But
James Evans has pinned Chris Cannon, but I don’t know if it’s what he wanted
tonight at Apocalypse. He however need to get some
help for Cannon.”
Another couple of officials
head to the ring to check on Chris as James looks at them all before just
leaving the ring, not having his arm raised. He then starts to walk around the
ring, his music playing before the scene cuts away.
Backstage, we see Jessica
Winters in the hallway with the cameraman.
Jessica: “Ladies and
gentlemen, I’m here backstage, just down the hall from Regan Street’s locker
room. I’m going to try and get a word with the former Adrenaline Champion. Wish
me luck.”
Jessica turns and walks over
to the door and knocks on it.
Jessica: “Regan. It’s Jessica
Winters. Can I get a word?”
There’s silence for a few
moments. Jessica turns to the camera. Just then, the door opens. We see Regan
Street standing on the other side.
Jessica: “Reg-“
Regan: “No…I don’t have
anything to say.”
Jessica: “Are you sure-“
Regan is stopped as Mikaela
then walks over and tells her to back away. Regan does and Mikaela steps out
and turns to Jessica.
Mikaela: “Jessica. I
appreciate you’re doing your job. But this is hitting her hard and I’d suggest
not to press. The fact that she
didn’t throw something at the door. I’d take that as your comment.”
Jessica: “Thank you.”
Mikaela closes the door.
Jessica turns to the camera.
Jessica: “Back to ringside.”
Twin Magic vs. Zero F***s to Give
SCW World Tag Team Championship
"You and I walk a fragile
line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its
all a big mistake"
Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen….the following contest is scheduled for one fall
and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the
challengers…”
"Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"
Phillips: ..."The Phoenix" Marie Jones and “The Wildcard” Kimberly
Williams, TWIN MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!”
A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie
Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her
signature black leather jacket. Kimberly comes out next, standing beside
her, wearing almost identical looking clothes, just minus the leather
jacket. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze
out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly mainly for Kim. The Tron shows
images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves
as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the
arena. Marie and Kim begin to make their way down towards the ring to loud
cheering from the fans mainly for Kim. 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. Kim just slides into the ring from underneath the
bottom rope. 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.
Sharper: “Marie Jones, the former SCW United States and Television Champion,
teaming up with the ever unpredictable, Kimberly Williams as they prepare to
compete for the top prize in the tag team division.”
The arenas lights cut completely, plunging the room into darkness for a second
or two as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard
across the PA system.
“Don’t bless me father, for I have sinned...”
A snicker is heard in a very Yorkshire accent.
“Who d'ya think encouraged
her?”
“Going To Hell” by The Pretty Reckless hits the PA system as the fans erupt in
boos and blue and white spotlights flash on and off across the stage. The music
plays for a few seconds before Ryan Watson walks out onto the stage, swiftly
followed by Autumn Valentine. The couple stand together on the stage for a
moment before Ryan throws up his hands and pushes them together, revealing the
“P1” symbol on his gloves, while Autumn turns her back to the camera and holds
her arms downward, revealing the words “DARK FANTASY” on the back of her ring
jacket.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, making their way to the ring, introducing
first, hailing from Anaheim, California, she is AUTUMN VALENTINE! Her partner,
from Sheffield in England, he weighed in earlier tonight at two hundred and
fifteen pounds, he is the Prodigal One... RYAN WATSON! They are the SCW WORLD
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! ZERO F***S TO GIVE!!!!
The duo makes their way to the ring. Autumn walks up the ring steps as Ryan
slides into the ring, pausing for a moment to pull up the middle rope and step
down on the bottom rope, allowing his wife into the ring. Ryan then walks over
to the far corner, throwing up his hands in front of him again as Autumn climbs up on the ropes next to him and leans in
toward him, nodding at the camera as it focuses on the symbol on Watson’s
gloves. After a few moments both get down from their position and both remove
their ring jackets, tossing them into their corner. Autumn stretches out
against the ropes as Ryan runs the ropes back and forth for a moment, getting
ready for the match.
Knots: “The current tag team champions, Ryan Watson and Autumn Valentine won a
tournament as well as the titles during Rise to Greatness weekend, toppling
former champions Tommy Valentine and Kandis. They’ll
be looking to continue their reign here.”
Sharper: “Ryan and Kimberly met a few weeks ago on Breakdown, with Ryan taking
the win. Kimberly will either look to take back the win or staple him in some
way.”
Knots: “Sounds like a victory for her, either way.”
The ref calls for the bell as the SCW Tag Team titles are handed to the
timekeeper. Ryan and Marie remain in the ring as Kimberly and Autumn exit. Ryan and Marie begin to circle one another,
before going for a tie-up. Ryan brings Marie into a side headlock. Marie shoves
Ryan into the ropes, but he fires back with a shoulder tackle, driving Marie to
the mat. Ryan bounces off the ropes again, just as Marie gets to her feet, but
she drops back down. Ryan leaps over her, bouncing off the ropes from the
opposite coming back, as Marie leap frogs over him. Ryan charges toward her,
but she hits a kick to the abdomen, followed by a European uppercut, before
pulling Ryan in and planting him with a double arm DDT. Marie goes for the
cover.

Autumn and Kimberly lock eyes, as Autumn slowly steps
back out onto the apron, just as Ryan kicks out! The ref sees Kimberly and
begins to order her to get out of the ring. As the ref is distracted, Autumn
gets back into the ring, clubbing Marie, before dropping her with a reverse
DDT, while Kimberly is shown arguing with the ref and trying to get by him.
Autumn gets out of the ring as does Kimberly, before the ref turns to see Ryan
lifting Marie off the mat.
Sharper: “The champs playing the numbers game early on. You have to wonder if
that will remain a factor in this match up.”
Knots: “With the tag titles on the line, I wouldn’t be surprised.”
Ryan connects with a European uppercut, staggering Marie before hitting a
dropkick. Marie hits the mat and Ryan locks in a crossface,
as the ref immediately checks on Marie. She refuses as Ryan pulls back on the
hold.
Sharper: “Ryan Watson is known for his high flying style, but he is no stranger
to submissions and mat wrestling, as he’s putting on display here.”
Marie continues to refuse, pushing herself off the mat and managing to roll
Ryan up in a pin attempt as he maintains the hold.

and whipping her into the corner. Once in the corner, he hits a running elbow,

to whip her into the corner, but Autumn reverses, then

only for Kimberly to begin to climb into the ring, but the ref is there to stop
her. Autumn is shown stomping Marie before picking her up off the mat, hooking
her and planting her with the Pink Whisper!
Sharper: “Autumn with the Pink Whisper. Could this
spell the end of the Twin Magic’s title hopes?”
Autumn hooks the leg.

Kimberly runs into the ring.

Ryan gets in too, and Kimberly breaks up the pin. Ryan grabs Kimberly but she
tries to bite him. Ryan backs away, just as Kimberly connects with Morrigan’s Wrath, dropping him to the mat. Autumn grabs
her, spinning Kimberly around, but Kimberly connects with Morrigan’s
Wrath, driving Autumn to the mat as well, before
Kimberly drops and rolls out of the ring.
Knots: “In your words, Adam…all hell has broken loose!”
The ref looks on as Ryan rolls out of the ring before he begins to count.
Ref: “1…2…3…4…5….”
Marie and Autumn are shown slowly starting to stir, as
they both pull themselves up off the mat, using the ropes.
Ref: “6…7…8…9….”
Both competitors reach their feet, breaking the ref’s count. The ref checks on
Marie, seeing if she’s okay. She nods. The ref turns and checks on Autumn. While he does this, Marie and Kimberly are shown
switching out.
Knots: “The Twins working their magic. Pun totally intended.”
Sharper: “The Champs were playing the numbers game earlier, and the challengers
are doing the same. I guess that’s one way to give them a dose of their own
medicine.”
The ref steps away from Autumn and Kimberly charges,
connecting with a spear, driving Autumn into the mat. Kimberly hooks the leg.
Sharper: “Kimberly going for the cover, and the ref is still under the
impression its Marie in the ring.”

Ryan dashes in, breaking up

Marie. Ryan hits the mat, and slowly rolls out.
Sharper: “And just like that, Ryan Watson is down on the outside.”
Autumn is shown slowly getting to her feet, using the ropes. She turns, and
Marie hits a superkick, before Kimberly grabs her and
hits the Hot Shot. The crowd erupts as Kimberly hooks the leg.
Knots: “A little Fire and Ice makes everything nice.”

mat with the Hot Shot.”

The ref hands the new champions their newly won titles, as Marie and Kimberly
are then shown celebrating in the ring. Ryan is shown slowly helping out of the
ring, as they stand on the outside. Ryan looks highly pissed off, as Autumn shakes her head. They are shown talking to one
another, shaking their heads before heading toward the back.

tells me that this could be far from over.”
Knots: “You may be right, but we have new Tag Team Champions.”
Marie and Kimberly are shown, standing in opposite corners, each holding their
title high above their heads, before we cut away.
A recap video showing the
history between Glory Braddock and Infamous and Abigail Lindsay’s involvement.
Glory Braddock vs. Abigail Lindsay
A loud purrrrrrrrrring
engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of "Wreak
Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from
backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person
driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be
Abigail Lindsay.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall
and has a thirty minute time limit. First, from Los Angeles, California, representing
Infamous, she is Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay.
She places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles
the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her
helmet. She hops on the apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg
off, and then drops down in a full split. She slides under the bottom rope. She
slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start.
Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay
having to deal with the consequences of her actions at Rise to Greatness. Glory
Braddock was willing to move on, but Abigail poked the bear and now Glory is
going to make sure Abigail Lindsay will regret this.”
Knots: “Yeah. Abigail costs
her the title. Glory was hoping Alistaire or Sasha
would give her a rematch. Instead, Abigail kept going for her and Glory tonight
now is looking to kick her ass!”
Abigail crawls around the ring
to the opposite corner and looks at the entrance and smiles as the first chords
of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system. Glory
Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple
spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million
bucks and gazing out at the crowd for a moment before turning to the ring. She
then starts making her way down the entrance ramp.
Phillips: “Her opponent, from
London, England, she is the British Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”
The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto
the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to
take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Once
in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring as Abigail rolls to the
floor. She walks around the ring as Glory watches her.
Sharper: “Glory Braddock
keeping her eyes on Abigail.”
Knots: “As Abigail takes a
walk, looking to clearly get Glory to make the first move.”
Glory keeps watching as
Abigail slides back into the ring at the far corner. She starts to get up. The
referee checks on her as he checks on Glory before calling for the bell. The
bell sounds. Abigail slides back to the floor. Glory however walks across the
ring and steps through the ropes to the floor. Glory spins around the ringpost and runs after Abigail. Abigail slides in and
Glory slides back in and Abigail stomps her in the back as Glory gets up to her
knees and Abigail kicks her in the chest and then again before going for a
kick. Glory blocks it and shoves her back. She gets up and forearms Abigail in
the jaw. Abigail stumbles back to the ropes. Glory follows up and kicks her in
the ribs. She then whips her across the ring and Abigail bounces off and Glory
nails her with a back elbow. Abigail rolls through and to the floor.
Sharper: “Glory getting a hard
back elbow!”
Knots: “Abigail right to the
floor too. May have a concrete magnet or something in her
pants.”
Sharper: “No doubt Abigail
intended to do just that, had her mind on getting to the floor by any means.”
Glory turns and follows to the
ropes. Abigail gets up on the floor. Glory steps through and Abigail grabs her
leg and pulls it out from under her and Glory lands hard back first on the
apron. (1) She remains on it and Abigail turns and nails her with a forearm and
then another and another. (2) She then starts to hammer away at the stomach of
Glory. Glory covers up before rolling into the ring. Abigail smirks. (3) She
looks at the official before sliding in. Glory slowly gets up and Abigail runs
over and hits a basement dropkick. Glory hits the mat. Abigail goes for the
pin.

Serenity, whatever you want to call her, knows what she’s doing. She’s been
able to rise to the top attaching herself to Ravyn.
And with this relationship, there’s a lot more I think going on here.”
Sharper: “Add Abigail Lindsay
giving a hell of a show against Alistaire Allocco last
Wednesday on Breakdown. Add distracting Glory. All while Syren has her own hopes for a title rematch.”

didn’t solve anything!”
The crowd boos as the bell
sounds. More boos. They keep trading blows and Glory nails one ref as Abigail
nails another and they turn to another and nail each other again. Glory pulls
her into the steel set before Abigail kicks her. The bell sounds again and more
boos.
Phillips: “Ladies and
gentlemen, the referee has elected to rule this match a draw!”
More boos. Glory and Abigail
continue to fight on the stage as the scene fades to black.
The screen goes black. The crackling of fire is heard
before being overtaken by loud horns and war drums. The screen brightens by
fire, to reveal the base of a trophy. The camera begins to tilt upwards slowly,
traveling across the bronze surface, engraved with patterns.
“The call has been made. May the finest in the World
converge…”
An empty ring is shown briefly on the bottom half of the
screen. The roar of the crowd begins to join in with the war drums and horns. Scenes begins to populate around the trophy.
“Legends return!”
A quick shot of David Helms delivering the New Jersey Neckbreaker on an unseen opponent, with the announcer’s
exclaim. Shilo Valiant is seen laughing from a dark
room. Josh Hudson hosting up the SCW World Championship belt over his head as a
downed wrestler is shown at his feet.
“Stars collide!”
Lucas Knight is leaning over ropes, pointing at the
camera. Katie Steward executed the Unprettier. Shaun Cruze stepping back and then
drilling an opponent with the Morality. Thirteen lifts a faceless
opponent with the Broken Wings and drops him on the head.
“All around the world they come forward!”
A rapid fire shot of others is shown including unfamiliar
faces, hitting as insane moves as others. Even some of the more popular
wrestlers outside SCW is given screen time but at this
point, everything fades back to the trophy. The camera has reached the summit.
A bronze wrestler is posing, his arms flexed and his hands holding up a
miniature world.
“24 go to war for the right to be remembered as God of
Wrestling!”
At that point, flames eat away at the screen to leave
behind words, written in text looking like smoldering embers.
“SCW and Infamously Dangerous Rum presents God of
Wrestling 2019 tournament. Starts September 28th, 8PM EST, Streaming Live on

Jake Starr vs. Bree Lancaster
SCW United States Championship
The opening chords of
"Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to
echo throughout the stadium. 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 pyro shoots high into the air from the stage
and in front of the stage in another wall of sparks. Lights start to circle the
arena as several spotlights turn to the stage. Jake Starr walks out from the
back and looks around. He just smiles and nods. He surveys the crowd, feeling
their energy and absorbing it all in. His nameplate comes up as Jake Starr
starts to head down to the ring. He makes his way down the rampway
before going to the guardrail and fist bumping a few fans and then going to the
other side before doing the same.
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW
United States Championship! First, from Des Moines, Iowa, he is the Only Social
Misfit Remaining, he is Jake Starr!”
The crowd cheers as Starr runs over to the ring and jumps up onto the apron. He
steps into the ring. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing
to the top rope. As the chorus hits, a spotlight illuminates Jake and he simply
stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He 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. After this, he goes camera side and climbs on the middle rope
raising his arm one more time. He looks around before hopping down and walking
around the ring.
Sharper: “Jake Starr found himself as the top contender to the SCW United
States title at Apocalypse, for the second year in a row. He’s been on a roll
since his return just a few months month ago, and one would think he doesn’t
want that to end anytime soon.”
Knots: “Yeah, but last year, his opponent, Bree Lancaster was able to
successfully defend her United States title. She already has an advantage over
the Social Misfit.”
The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.
{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache,
cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}
As the heavy music of Imagine Dragons kicks in the
lights come back up and Bree Lancaster is standing on the stage, wearing the
United States Championship around her waist, and her arms spread wide. Bree
looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the
stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily.
Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and
being accompanied by Scott Burnside... she is the current SCW United
States Champion…the Ambitchous Bree Lancaster!"
The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree
holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott
goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to
step through. Bree walks to the center of the ring, turning as she does. She
then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott
is on the outside, cheering her on, as her music fades out. The ref lifts the
title above his head, before handing it to the timekeeper, before calling for
the bell.
Both step out of their corners and begin to circle one another. Both lunge
toward the other, engaging in a tie-up, only for Bree to transition behind
Starr, wrapping her arms around his waist. Starr grabs her wrists, before
pulling her hands apart, and transitioning behind her. He goes to lift her, but
Bree fires away with a back elbow to the jaw. Starr stumbles back, holding jaw.
Bree charges, and connects with a forearm, followed by another, backing Starr
into the ropes. She grabs his wrist and goes to whip him across, but Starr
reverses. Bree bounces off the ropes, only for Starr to hit a standing
dropkick. Bree falls back into the ropes and Starr connects with a running
elbow. He then goes for the cover.

Bree kicks out.
Sharper: “The former SCW Champion in control in the early goings of the match.”
Knots: “Don’t forget he was in control last go around,
but Bree was able to turn the tide and Starr wasn’t able to recover. And don’t
look at me like that. I don’t really like giving her any sort of credit.”
Starr lifts Bree off the mat, backing her into the ropes and whipping her
across. Bree comes back as Starr goes for a clothesline. Bree dunks under. She
hits the ropes and hits a dropkick to the knee. Starr drops to one knee as Bree
gets to her feet and connects with a few more forearms, before hooking Starr
and planting him with a DDT. She goes for a cover of
her own.

Starr kicks out.
Sharper: “Bree getting a two count.”
Starr rolls over and goes to get to his feet, only for Bree to drive her
shoulder into his right knee, driving Starr back into the mat. Bree gets to her
feet and begins to stomp at Starr’s right knee as he tries to roll away. She
grabs his leg, then drops an elbow into the knee,
before locking in a knee bar. Starr immediately grabs at the bottom rope, and
getting it, but Bree doesn’t let go.
Sharper: “The U.S. Champion working on the right knee of Jake Starr.”
Knots: “If she wants to beat Jake, she will have to break before five however.”
Ref: “1…2…3…4…”
Bree breaks the hold and rolls away. The ref warns her, and she is shown
laughing, rolling her eyes, and shaking her head as the crowd boos.
Sharper: “Bree’s actions earning the ire of the referee as well as the crowd.
And as usual, doesn’t seem to affect her in the least.”
Knots: “In her mind, they all envy her.”
Sharper: “Yeah…right.”
Starr is shown getting to his feet, grabbing at his knee, only for Bree to chop
block him again. Starr rolls over and goes to get up again, but Bree hits a
dropkick to the same knee. Starr hits the mat, in the middle of the ring and
Bree locks in another kneebar.
Knots: “Jake is probably going to knee replacement surgery after this. Bree and
that knee can’t quit each other.”
Sharper: “Starr is going to have to figure out a way to get back into this
thing if he has any hope of becoming United States Champion tonight.”
The ref checks with Starr who shakes his head no. Starr then begins to slowly
pull himself toward the ropes, only for Bree to break the knee bar. Starr rolls
over onto his stomach and Bree quickly sinks in the STF.
Sharper: “Bree showing quite the vicious side of her here tonight. Not giving
Starr any room to breathe.”
The ref checks Starr again, but he refuses before beginning to pull himself
toward the ropes.
Sharper: “Starr using his size and strength advantage to get himself toward the
ropes.”
Knots: “But you have to wonder what sort of damage has been done.”
The ref checks and Starr says no once again, before he reaches out and grabs
the ropes. Bree doesn’t break the hold as the ref begins the count.
Ref: “1…2…3…”
Starr continues to pull himself and Bree, maintaining his grip on the ropes,
using it for leverage as he rolls with Bree, before rolling out of the ring,
both falling to the outside. Starr lands on Bree. Bree grabs at her head as
Starr is shown pulling himself to his feet. He stumbles on his bad knee as Bree
rolls over and gets to one knee. Starr hops toward her and kicks her in the
side of the head with his good leg. She leans back and he kicks her again,
before grabbing Bree and planting her with a DDT.
Sharper: “Starr with a DDT to the floor. And now he’s
getting a break.”
Starr is shown taking a breather and rubbing his knee as the ref is heard
beginning the count.
Ref: “1…2…3…”
Knots: “He won’t get much of a break with the ref counting to 10. He wants to
be Champion, you can’t do it on your back.”
Ref: “4…5…6…”
Starr gets to his feet and hobbles to the ring and rolls inside, before rolling
back outside, breaking the count. Bree is shown charging and grabbing Starr,
but he reverses, whipping her into the barricade. He charges as fast as he can,
connecting with a running clothesline that nearly sends Bree over the
barricade. Starr grabs her and whips her into the ring post. Bree bounces off
the post and falls to the floor. Scott is shown running toward them, only for
Starr to turn and glare. Scott is shown pleading with Starr.
Ref: “3…4…5…”
Sharper: “Scott Burnside looked like he was trying to come to Bree’s aid, but
that look from Starr stopped him dead in his tracks.”
Knots: “Starr tossing Bree into the ring post should let Bree that Starr has a
vicious side of his own. That he’s not playing games.”
Sharper: “As it’s been pointed out, Starr lost to Bree last year. Like everyone
else, it seems he’s not forgotten and doesn’t want to get caught again.”
Ref: “6…7…8…”
Starr rolls into the ring and rolls back out, only for Bree to connect with a superkick in between Starr’s shoulder blades. Starr drops
to one knee.
Sharper: “Bree with Priceless! The move she used to put Starr away last year.”
Starr slowly rises to his feet, only for Bree to grab his leg and hit Twisted
Ambition, driving Starr’s right knee into the concrete floor.
Knots: “Looks like Scott did distract Jake as he had to return to the ring to
break up the ref’s count. This allowed Bree time to get to her feet and she’s
back targeting the knee once again.”
Bree grabs Starr by the hair and delivers three straight forearms before
rolling him into the ring. Starr pushes himself to his feet, stumbling due to
his knee as Bree gets inside. She bounces off the ropes, taking him down with a
springboard bulldog. Bree then goes for the cover.

Starr shoots the shoulder up.
Sharper: “Jake Starr getting the shoulder up, probably trying to salvage his
knee by not kicking out.”
Bree argues with the ref.
Bree: “Are you serious?!?!?”
Starr is shown using the ropes to get to his feet. Bree turns and charges, and Starr lands a kick to the midsection with his
left leg. He then turns and connects with a discus clothesline. Bree hits the
mat and rolls over, slowly pushing herself up as Starr is shown one knee. Bree
gets to her feet and she turns, only for Starr to connect with a spear. Bree
hits the mat, and rolls over, slowly pushing herself up once again. She turns,
only for Starr to hit another spear, getting a little more force behind the
second one. He connects before rolling over and grabbing his knee.
Sharper: “Jake connecting with those two spears, turning the tide in his
favor.”
Knots: “He’s grabbing at the knee. He may have gotten the upperhand,
but did it cost him anything with that knee?”
Starr rolls over and drapes an arm over Bree, going for the count.

his feet, still favoring the knee, as he grabs Bree off the mat. He hits a few
forearms before whipping her into the ropes. Bree bounces back and Starr takes
her down with a tornado DDT. He hits the ropes and hits a baseball slide of his
own, connecting with the head. Jake hooks the leg once again.

Bree kicks out.
Sharper: “Starr seems to be turning it up a notch. He’s showing that he can
endure just as much punishment as he can dish out. This is why he’s a legend.
This is why he’s a multiple time World Champion.”
Knots: “He doesn’t seem to be worrying with his knee right now. He’s going off
pure instinct.”
Both get to their feet and Bree charges, but Starr grabs her then drops Bree
with a modified backbreaker. Bree rolls around on the canvas, as Starr gets to
his feet. He towers over her, and wiggles his leg a little bit, before leaping
and connecting with a standing shooting star. He goes for another cover.

3….NO! Bree gets the shoulder
up.
Sharper: “Starr coming alive, getting ever so closer to becoming our new United
States Champion.”
Knots: “One would think he is waiting for the right moment to hit his new
finisher.”
Sharper: “Jake Starr has been using the Spanish Fly, a move he can hit out of
nowhere. It could be the one move that he needs to seal the deal.”
Starr gets to his feet, lifting Bree off the mat once again, just as Scott is
shown getting onto the apron. Starr shoves Bree down and stomps over to Scott
who is shown arguing with the ref. Starr grabs Scott and pulls him into the
ring. Scott hits the mat and looks up at Starr terrified. Starr goes to grab
him, but Bree hops onto Starr’s back, landing elbows. Scott rolls away, getting
out of the ring, as Starr runs backwards into the turnbuckle, driving Bree into
the corner. She slumps a bit, as Starr stumbles out, holding his head. He turns
just as Bree charges out of the corner, only to plant her with a spinebuster, near the ropes.
Sharper: “Starr using that experience, turning Bree’s momentum against her.”
Starr goes to grab Bree, but Bree reaches up and pulls him into an inside
cradle. The ref drops down to the make the count as Bree places her feet on the
ropes, out of the ref’s line of sight. Scott runs over and holds down on her
feet.

Sharper: “Oh come on! Not like that!”
Knots: “Breemerica is still running high
unfortunately.”
Phillips: “Here is your winner…and still…SCW United States Champion…Bree
Lancaster!!!”
The crowd boos as “Natural” hits, and Bree rolls out of the ring, as Starr sits
up, looking pissed off. Scott is shown taking the United States title away from
the timekeeper and racing it back to Bree, who lifts her hand up high as he
drapes the title around her waist. Starr is shown glaring at Bree who smirks as
she walks backwards up the ramp.
Sharper: “Jake Starr struggled in the beginning, but he managed to come back
strong, showing just how damn good he is. Just how much of a threat he is.”
Knots: “I’d be pissed too, knowing I had been robbed. Bree had to resort to
underhanded tactics to win, but she won nonetheless and is still the SCW United
States Champion.”
We get one more shot of Starr and Bree staring one another down, before we cut
away.
Backstage, Jessica Winters is
standing with Selena Frost. The crowd cheers seeing her.
Jessica: “Selena, you can hear
the crowd. They’re firmly behind you tonight. You face Sienna Swann in what’s
been a challenging month for you. With fans being attacked,
Sienna Swann trying to undermine your career, and even attacking you, and now
tonight, you reignite your rivalry with her in that ring.”
Selena: “I wish I could say I
was surprised when she went after me, but she always had an angle. She always
had something. It’s just rich as she always complained about me getting the
spotlight. Meanwhile, as she tries to derail my career, when
frankly, this is a contact sport. We take risks in that ring and SCW
does plenty to make sure we are safe. Just like they are with
Chris Cannon, checking him for injuries. Just like they did with me
after she hit me with the Kiss on Breakdown a few weeks back. Tonight, we’re
going to see who can throw the best striking finisher in SCW. And I’m not
running, knowing full well that Sienna Swann could knock me out with her move.
I’m instead just going to make sure she doesn’t hit me….And Xander…wherever
you are. Just remember, the professional wrestling industry is just fine
without you! BELIEVE IT!”
Selena turns and walks off as
we cut back to the ring.
Syren vs. Aaron Blackbourne
The lights go out leaving the
arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D.
Roosevelt’s inaugural address.
“So, first of all, let me
assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”
There’s a record scratch
before a deep voice fills the arena.
“INFAMOUS!”
The opening of “Groupie” by
Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage, adorned in a
jacket which she opens up to reveal the SCW World Championship around her
waist. The crowd boos but she doesn’t seem to care, spinning around to point to
the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘DARK FANTASY’ written.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
Phillips: “The following
contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty
minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by Alexander
Crowe and CHBK, representing Infamous, she is from Malibu, California, she is Syren!”
Syren spins back around again
before looking over her shoulder. The curtains part and CHBK and Alexander
Crowe walk out to join her, which only gets more of a negative reaction from
the fans. Syren then begins to walk down to the ring,
flicking her hair and ignoring the fans at ringside as Alexander Crowe and CHBK
follow. As the trio approach the ring, Crowe slides into the ring before
sitting on the middle rope and pushing it down, while holding up the top rope. Syren very deliberately walks up the ring steps, wiping her
feet on the ring apron before stepping between the ropes. CHBK makes his own
way into the ring as Syren walks over to the middle
of the ropes, stepping onto the bottom rope with one foot and the middle rope
on the other. She steps off the ropes and walks over to her corner. She slides
off her ring jacket and tosses it in the corner. Then she backs into the corner
as CHBK leans in and talks to her.
Sharper: “Syren
coming out first, an experience she can’t be used to.”
Knots: “Formerly World
Champion. Not anymore. Very different here.”
Sharper: “About to face Aaron Blackbourne who has been getting more and more confidence
as he competes against some of the top competitors here in SCW.”
All of a sudden, the lights go
out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. On the Tron, we see a scene
slowly fading into existence, revealing itself to be
giant stone statue atop a pedestal depicting what looks like Syren, triumphantly holding up the SCW World Championship
high for all to see. The shot slowly pans around it before carefully zooming in
on the side of the pedestal. Carved into the stone is a design that resembles a
melting skull with a nail having been driven diagonally into it from the top
right. At this point, we begin to hear what sounds like if you played the “Song
of Healing” from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
in reverse, the haunting sound perfectly fitting with the scene as the shot
pans back, the once clear blue sky giving way to a rapid fire sequence of time
moving forward, the statue eroding over time before it finally comes to a stop,
showing the orange-red glow of the evening sky being an almost terrifying match
for the statue as it now resembles a warped, broken shell of its former glory,
time having not been kind to it at all because no one bothered to keep it
up-to-date. Without having to pan in, we can see the bizarre design from before
clearly because it's glowing a bright red, standing
out in stark contrast to everything else. As the song ends, this design
suddenly flashes on the screen accompanied by a horrific sound in a jump scare
style fashion before all goes dark again.
As the fans buzz with confusion and anticipation, the distorted sounds of “10
Inch Nails” by Audiomachine begin to play, red and
white lighting slowly illuminating the stage to reveal a thick cloud of smoke
had engulfed it, although a stone pedestal is now present that rises above the
fog. Carved into the front of the pedestal is the same design we saw carved
into the statue of Syren that was on the Tron,
although much larger and far more visible. That symbol also reappears on the
Tron, the screen occasionally distorting itself in tune with the music.
Standing atop the pedestal, in the same pose as the statue we saw but minus a
championship belt, is Aaron Blackbourne, looking
consumed by his own 'Cursed Design' in a sense. His black tights, black knee
pads and the kick pads of his black boots both have red-colored and more
extensively detailed versions of that bizarre melting skull design on them, and
his black arm sleeves only bear red-colored criss-crossing lines tonight. His
body is painted in a way that almost makes him resemble a zombie that's eroded
away as time has passed, with almost realistic-looking scars and bruises
standing out on his 'discolored' flesh in addition to what could easily pass
for large gashes in certain places that reveal realistic-looking bones and
organs underneath. His back has a large and even more detailed version of this
melting skull design that's prevalent tonight, and his face is painted in a way
that heavily resembles this same design as well.
Phillips: “Her opponent, from
Seattle, Washington, he is Aaron Blackbourne!”
Blackbourne hops down from the pedestal and takes a
moment to run his hand along the design carved into the front as he grins down
towards the ring. He begins making his way down the ramp as the fans cheer for
the creative soul on his march into battle, the confidence in his movements
almost mirroring the confidence his opponent would normally display prior to a
match. When he reaches ringside he suddenly bolts into a sprint, sliding into
the ring and quickly using the momentum to pop right back up to his feet before
moving over to the ropes, standing on them with one foot on the bottom rope and
one on the middle rope as he throws his fist high into the air, white
spotlights suddenly coming on and converging on him in this moment as fans
immediately recognize the familiar pose from Syren's
recent run as World Champion, applauding his version of it. The lights return to normal as Blackbourne
steps down and carefully backs into his corner, squatting down as he
awaits the bell almost like a cannonball ready to fire. Syren
just look at him, pointing to him, talking to CHBK and Crowe, annoyed as Blackbourne continues to watch at Syren.
Sharper: “Blackbourne
taunting Syren!”
Knots: “And it’s gotten under
her skin. Syren demands respect even if she’s caused
everyone to lose it for her! Hall of Famer or not! Her tactics have done that!”
Syren looks at Blackbourne
as the bell sounds. Syren then turns and runs across.
Blackbourne steps up and jumps over her and rolls
through. The crowd roars. Syren stops at the corner
and turns and runs after Blackbourne. Blackbourne quickly hits an arm drag. Syren
rolls through. She gets up and turns and Blackbourne
hits another arm drag. Syren rolls through and gets
up and Blackbourne hits a hip toss. Syren rolls over and to the floor. Syren
looks around and looks at Blackbourne. Blackbourne looks at Syren and
drops to his knees. The crowd erupts in cheers as Syren
turns to CHBK and Crowe before turning and reaching at the ropes. (1)
Sharper: “Syren
just overwhelmed early! And she’s annoyed! She’s angry!”
Knots: “Blackbourne
firmly in her head. I love it!”
Syren paces a bit as CHBK tries to
get her to calm down. (2) She then looks at Blackbourne
as he starts to get up to his feet. Syren then grabs
at the ropes. (3) She then pulls herself up to the apron. She then enters the
ring and runs at Blackbourne, but Blackbourne
catches her and hits a headlock takedown. The crowd roars.

other arm. Syren rolls through and gets up in the
corner. Blackbourne walks over and grabs her and
whips her across. He runs after and Syren jumps up
for a float over, but Blackbourne stops early. Syren lands on
her feet and glances behind her as Blackbourne grabs

face.
Sharper: “Syren
using the ring. Pulling him in.”
Knots: “Shades of Ravyn Taylor with that one.”
Sharper: “I’m surprised she’s
not out here for that matter.”
Blackbourne gets up and Syren jumps up and dropkicks him in the jaw. Blackbourne hits the mat and turns, holding his jaw. Syren gets up and looks out at the crowd and the crowd
boos. Syren smirks before turning around and Blackbourne gets up and Syren
forearms him in the small of his back. Blackbourne

the ribs and then nails him with a forearm shot before reaching up and grabbing
his face and raking his eyes. The crowd boos.

eyes. No surprises there!”
Knots: “Gotta
break as many rules. Take the shortcuts!”
Syren then kicks him in the ribs
again. Blackbourne walks out of the ropes and Syren follows and cuffs him in the back of the head with a
forearm. Blackbourne falls to the corner. Syren is backed away by the official and we see CHBK take a
hard right hand at Blackbourne. Blackbourne
rolls over and falls to his side. The crowd boos as Blackbourne

another and another and another. Blackbourne shoves

scouting and she’s still being caught offguard here.”
Syren turns and moves to the ropes.
Blackbourne gets up and grabs her from behind. She

Knots: “Cheap shot. Rake of
the eyes. Go for the leg!”
Blackbourne winces and keeps grasping at
his leg as Syren grabs the left leg and kicks at the
inside of his knee. Blackbourne yells out in pain. Syren then lifts her elbow up and drives it into Blackbourne’s left thigh. The crowd boos. Syren gets up and drives her elbow into the leg again. Blackbourne yells out and Syren
hooks the leg and keeps driving her elbow into his thigh.
Sharper: “Syren
driving the elbow into the thigh. The point right into that
thigh muscle!”
Knots: “Just ensuring all of
the pain there. Picked this up right from CHBK I’m sure.”
Syren grinds the elbow down a bit
more before getting back up. She stomps him in the knee again. Blackbourne rolls over and away from Syren.

and places it on the bottom rope. CHBK applauds as Syren

it. Blackbourne yells in pain. Blackbourne

Knots: “Blackbourne

everything she can to make sure of it.”
Sharper: “At Rise to

saw Ravyn Taylor do to Jordan Majors on Breakdown a
couple of weeks ago.”

Phillips: “Here is your
winner, via pinfall, Aaron Blackbourne!”
Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne has pinned Syren! Syren got cocky! Blackbourne
didn’t give up, fighting through the pain, and Blackbourne
caught the Unchained Creativity right on the jaw!”
Knots: “He just pinned the
former World Champion!”
Sharper: “Right in the middle
of the ring! There was no plan for that!”
CHBK turns and checks on Syren. Crowe watches Blackbourne
as Blackbourne is helped up by the official. He
winces and backs away. He smiles as he looks in the ring and sees Syren remains down in the ring. Blackbourne
backs up, limping heavily as he does. His music plays throughout the arena as
the crowd continues to cheer for Blackbourne.
“Heavier” by Slaves plays as
the Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen.
Sharper: “As Blackbourne celebrates and the arrogance of Infamous on
display, next, we could see another’s arrogance prove
their undoing.”
A still of Sienna Swann vs.
Selena Frost comes up on the screen.
Knots: “Sienna Swann got
involved in Selena’s issue with Xander, trying to
take advantage of Xander’s claims of an unsafe
working environment. Well tonight, Defying Gravity against Kiss of an Angel!”
Sharper: “And it all started
with a tweet.”
A recap video plays showing how
Sienna Swann vs. Selena Frost came to be at Apocalypse 2019.
Selena Frost vs. Sienna Swann
Defying Gravity vs. Kiss of An Angel
A red carpet is rolled out
with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, Laura
Steinbeck 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. The crowd boos loudly before
Sienna Swann walks out from the back with her head down. She remains looking
down for a moment before extending her arms and revealing golden angle wings.
She looks around and poses as the boos continue to
rain from all over. 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 Swann before making her way to the ring. Laura disappears to the back with
the photographers.
Phillips: “The following
contest has a sixty minute time limit. The winner will be the one who is first
to connect with their designated finisher, either the Kiss of an Angel or
Defying Gravity! First, on her way to the ring, representing Beauty Factory,
from Johannesburg, South Africa, she is the IronAngel,
Sienna Swann!”
Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around. 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 a ring crew member. Sienna stands, patiently waiting
for the start of the match posing as the boos
continue.
Sharper: “Sienna Swann well
liked here in Washington.”
Knots: “Yeah. All for the people to boo. She’s almost as popular here as
Sasha is with the Beauty Factory.”
Sharper: “Sienna Swann
defiantly out here, wanting to end this quickly as she feels this is all an
attempt to injure her. It’s a contact sport. Sienna and Selena both have
clearer any testing and let’s not forget that Sienna Swann blindsided Selena a
couple of weeks ago with the Kiss of an Angel all to try and take advantage of
the Xander Valentine situation.”
Knots: “At least he’s not
here. We can have Selena focus on Sienna. But I just noticed, hour long time
limit. Last time…the IronAngel was established.”
BELIEVE IT!
The SCW Universe are on their feet as “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the
stage and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost,
taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe.
Phillips: “Her opponent, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Winter’s
Knight, Selena Frost!”
Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as
she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm
upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her
right foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground and sprints down the
ramp and towards the ring! Reaching the ring, Selena slides under the ropes to
enter it. She gets up and lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights
form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her
hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces
her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more. With a slam of her
foot, Selena caused the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four
corners of the ring to shoot out blue sparkles of light as the lights return to
normal. She looks around as the crowd roars. Sienna watches her with disdain as
Selena turns and looks at her. She then starts to back up.
Sharper: “Sienna Swann started
this all by trying to take advantage of Xander
Valentine’s ridiculous claims that the Defying Gravity caused him to attack
fans. All that happened was Xander
Valentine was humiliated. He was knocked unconscious.”
Knots: “And as Sasha pointed
out, Xander passed all concussion tests heading into
Breakdown. Sienna Swann just wanted to hurt Selena’s career because well, she
needs to be involved in everything. With the World Title, with Xander, with Selena…”
The bell sounds. Sienna then
lunges and goes right for Selena and nails her with a hard forearm and then
another and another. The crowd boos as Selena covers up in the corner. Selena
then kicks her in the ribs over and over.

5!
The official tries to call for
the break, but Sienna ignores it, continuing to kick at the ribs of Selena.
Sharper: “Sienna Swann kicking
away, striking at Selena!”
Knots: “Ref Hollinsworth got the five count,
but it’s a match that ends in finisher here.”
Sharper: “Technically Hollinsworth can call for the end, but obviously, he
doesn’t want this to end this way. Referee’s discretion
here.”
Knots: “Not like Chris is
going to come out. Not after earlier!”
Sienna then kicks her again
and Selena drops to a seated position. Sienna backs up and turns to the crowd
before turning to the hard camera.
Sienna: “Don’t worry. I’ll
make this ring safer. Tonight, not for the people…for all the
wrestlers!”
The crowd boos as Sienna turns
around and walks over to Selena and Selena starts to pull herself up. Sienna
forearms her in the jaw. She grabs her and whips her across the ring. Selena
however flips up and over to the apron. Sienna runs at her and goes to grab
her. Selena grabs the top rope and Sienna goes to flip her over the top rope,
but Selena flips through and lands on her feet. She steps forward and Sienna
immediately sees an opening. She smirks and Selena turns and Sienna lunges for
the Kiss of an Angel. Selena spins out of the way. The crowd ohs. Sienna stops and turns and Selena goes for the Glass Shard. Sienna ducks and rolls out of the
way to the ropes. Selena then touches her lip as Sienna gets up. Selena lunges
at her and Sienna spins through to the apron. Selena walks over and grabs her.
Sienna goes for a pump kick to the head. Selena blocks it and then forearms her
in the jaw. Sienna spins off and down to the floor. Sienna falls over and leans
to the barricade.
Sharper: “Both trying to end
it early. Maybe just for the opportunity.”
Knots: “Well Sienna did.
Selena looked to just get her down. Get space. Glass Shard won’t end it.
Defying Gravity will.”
Sharper: “And Sienna on the
floor. Selena thinking about her options.”
Sienna turns and Selena runs
at the corner, jumps to the middle turnbuckle and dives over with a twisting
rounding splash onto Sienna. The crowd roars. Selena rolls through. She gets up
and looks at the crowd. She throws her arms up as the crowd cheers.
Sharper: “Up and over. Not
going to the win the match, but is going to put this so Selena’s in control.”
Knots: “And make these fans
happy. The True Believers are here in Washington!”
Sienna rolls over and Hollinsworth tells them to get back into the ring. Selena
grabs Sienna and drags her up and rolls her into the ring. Selena rolls into
the ring. She gets up and Sienna pulls herself up and Selena runs at her and
chops her. The crowd woos. She chops her again. More woos. Selena then grabs
her and snapmares her over toward the middle of the
ring before Selena runs at the ropes. She jumps up to the top rope and Sienna
gets up only to quickly duck as Selena goes for the Defying Gravity!
Sharper: “Selena with Defying
Gravity! Sienna just moving out of the way!”
Knots: “Just ducking. This is
just about hitting one move! You better know how your opponent will throw it. Or where they can!”
Selena rolls through. She gets
up and Sienna hits a straight kick to the ribs. Selena falls to the ropes.
Sienna runs over and hits the Off the Rack. Selena falls through the ropes to
the floor. The crowd boos. Sienna then turns and steps through the ropes and
down to the floor. She then grabs Selena as she gets up and runs her face first
into the barricade. Selena staggers along the barricade. Sienna watches her and
smirks. She then lunges and goes for the Kiss of an Angel, but Selena ducks at
the last moment. Sienna hits the barricade with her knee and goes over the
barricade into the crowd. The crowd roars.
Sharper: “Sienna went for it!
Selena saw it coming!”
Knots: “And Sienna’s now with
the people!”
Sharper: “And Selena’s going
right after, but security getting involved.”
Selena goes to step over as
Sienna moves away. Security stops her and keeps her at the ringside area. She
looks a bit annoyed as Hollinsworth comes over and
Selena backs up. Sienna then starts to get up and another guard joins her, motioning her to the barricade. The crowd boos
some. Sienna then looks around and smiles. She then tries to move one of the
guards in front of her. The guard however quickly moves and spins around to
keep Sienna away from the crowd, preventing her from moving further in and Sienna
steps back toward the ring.
Sienna: “You should be
protecting me from her!”
Sharper: “Sienna Swann trying
to get security to protect her!”
Knots: “Why not? Can’t have
them fight through the crowd. Security all over on the
situation. Don’t want Sienna Swann giving Kisses for the people!”
Selena then steps over, having
been stopped by Hollinsworth and grabs Sienna and
pulls her over the barricade. The crowd cheers. Sienna rolls onto the mats. She
rolls through and gets up and Selena nails her with a forearm. The crowd
cheers. Sienna falls to the apron. Selena forearms her again before scooping
her up and dropping her down face first into the apron. Sienna stumbles back
and then to the barricade before Selena grabs her and rolls her into the ring.
Selena then pulls herself onto the apron. Sienna slowly starts to get up and
Selena waits before springboarding to the top rope.
Sienna lunges for the ropes. Selena hops over and rolls through. Sienna runs
out and goes for the Kiss of an Angel, but Selena ducks. Sienna jumps clear of
her before stopping and turning around and Selena jumps up and hits a snap frankensteiner. The crowd cheers.
Sharper: “Oh my! These two
know each other so well. Former friends. Bitter enemies. And Selena and Sienna both know how the
other thinks.”
Knots: “And just snapping
Sienna over with that frankensteiner. After both tried for it all.”
Sharper: “Such a different
dynamic. It’s not about wearing the other down. It’s about setting up that
unforeseeable. That one strike to put your opponent down.
It’s mental chess!”
Selena starts to get up as
Sienna rolls over. She moves to her knees and Selena kicks her in the chest.
She then pulls her up and hooks her by the head and hits a vertical suplex. Sienna winces and turns as Selena jumps up and hits
a leg drop. She rolls through. She then looks at Sienna and pulls her up before
wrenching the arm and whipping her into the corner. Selena runs after and
Sienna gets her knee up, but Selena blocks it though and pushes her legs down.
Selena then nails her with a hard right to the ribs and then grabs her head and
pulls her out, but Sienna breaks down and drops down and hooks the leg of
Selena and rolls through as if going for a rolling crab, but the distance to
the corner, causes Selena to fall face first into the middle turnbuckle. The crowd ohs.
Sharper: “Sienna Swann with a
wise move. Not only going for the leg, but trying to daze Selena!”
Knots: “She didn’t know what
to protect. Her leg. Her face.”
Sharper: “And look at that
smile. Sienna Swann loving this.”
Sienna crawls away and gets up
smiling. Selena starts to get up, holding her jaw. Sienna turns and runs over
and nails her with a hard right and then a left before a spinning back fist to
the jaw before hitting a shoot kick to the leg and then hitting a spinning back
kick to the jaw. Selena just falls out of the corner and down to the mat.
Sienna then walks out, taking a moment to admire the damage as the crowd boos.
Sharper: “Sienna may be
setting up for the Kiss.”
Knots: “Just needs to hit it.
Hit it and you win it!”
Selena starts to pull herself
up by the ropes. Sienna then motions for her to get up. Selena staggers up and
Sienna lunges and goes for a running Kiss of an Angel, but Selena ducks and
spins around again. Sienna stops at the corner and turns around and Selena
chops her in the chest and then again and then a third time. The crowd woos
after each one. She then jumps up and hits a dropkick. Sienna stumbles in place
before leaning back to the corner. Selena moves to the middle of the ring
before stopping and turning and running after Sienna, but Sienna steps up and
lifts her up and turns, throwing her up and over, making sure she’d go to the
floor, trying to make sure she’d land on her feet. Selena does and falls into
the barricade hard. Selena winces and holds her leg. Sienna falls to a knee.
Sharper: “Sienna countering
Selena and maybe causing some damage.”
Knots: “She landed on that
leg.”
Sharper: “If she can’t
springboard, she can’t hit Defying Gravity and Sienna knows that. Then this is
just Sienna needs to find her shot!”
Sienna starts to get up as
Selena starts to pull herself up and winces. She checks her leg as Sienna then
runs across the ring. She bounces off and hits a baseball slide and Selena
falls back into the barricade. Selena rolls over. Sienna then slides herself to
the apron and jumps off. She walks over to Selena and grabs her and turns and
runs her shoulder first into the steel steps. Selena falls over and the top
half falls over. Sienna then walks over and grabs her and drags her up. She
then turns and rolls her into the ring. Selena rolls over and gets to her hands
and knees. She starts to get up and Sienna slides in. She looks at her before
hitting a shoot kick to the chest and Selena falls back to the mat. Sienna then
turns and grabs her and drags her up before pulling her to the ropes.
Sharper: “Sienna Swann making
sure she gets all of every shot she takes. Selena Frost may not be one hundred
percent after that back drop!”
Knots: “Good for Sienna. Bad for the people!”
Sharper: “And Sienna now setting up for the Kiss. I think she’s going to trap
Selena!”
Sienna pulls Selena up to the
ropes and hooks her arms and tries to push them back. Selena fights and Sienna
knees her in the ribs and then again before pushing back and hooking her arms.
Selena winces and struggles as she’s hooked up. Sienna then smiles before
looking at her.
Sienna: “I hope you enjoy this
and to everyone in the back…You’re welcome!”
Sienna then turns and pulls
her knee pad down and looks at Selena before planting her feet. She lunges, but
Selena backflips up and catches Sienna in the jaw. Sienna stumbles back. Selena backflips to the apron. The crowd cheers. Sienna
lunges and runs at her and Selena hits a pump kick on the apron. Sienna
stumbles back. Selena then grabs the top rope and springboards up. She dives
forward, but Sienna ducks early. Selena is able to adjust, landing on her feet.
Sienna stops and turns and Selena suddenly hits a backflip flip to the head.
Selena falls to the mat as the crowd cheers. Selena rolls to her back.
Sharper: “Selena! My God! Figuring out every way to hit a kick!”
Knots: “Except that one that
matters in this one! But Sienna’s down. She has a chance to reload!”
Selena looks up as the crowd
cheers. The referee checks on both as Sienna rolls to her stomach. She crawls
to the ropes. Selena rolls over and starts to get up and looks around. Sienna
slowly pulls herself up and moves to the corner and Selena moves toward her and
kicks her in the ribs and then nails her with a hard right and then another.
She grabs Sienna and whips her across. Sienna jumps up and goes to floatover, but Selena catches her. The crowd roars and
Selena then drops down to her back, driving Sienna stomach first into the mat.
She rolls over. Selena turns and gets up. She then grabs the arm of Sienna and
wrenches it before hitting the Paydirt.
Sharper: “Selena driving
Sienna into her boot. Sienna down!”
Knots: “Dazed again. Another move that dazes. Another opening.
Is this the one that Selena can connect!”
Sharper: “You wonder if Xander Valentine is watching this at home getting more and
more upset. Sienna’s managed to counter or dodge that Defying Gravity multiple
times.”
Knots: “Tells me that Xander Valentine didn’t take Selena seriously! Tells me
that Xander bought into the hype he was saying! Not
like it matters. Better hope he enjoys his indefinite suspension! Just like
Sienna better hope she enjoys her defeat!”
Selena starts to get up and
turns to the corner. She tests her leg and hops on it before smiling and slingshotting to the apron. Sienna starts to get up and
looks at Selena. Selena springboards to the top rope and
dives off for the Defying Gravity. Sienna turns and grabs Hollinsworth and pulls him in. Selena blasts him. The crowd
ohs and Selena falls to the mat. Sienna crawls away.
Selena turns and sees that she’s hit Hollinsworth.
She crawls over to him and checks on him. But as she does, Sienna runs up
behind her and grabs her by the head and pulls her back and hits the reverse
DDT. The crowd boos loudly. Sienna rolls over.
Sharper: “Selena hit Hollinsworth. She was checking on him. He could be hurt!”
Knots: “And of course, Sienna
needed to get the shot in! Needed to get the reverse DDT.”
Sharper: “The Pretty Girl
Drop. Give me a break!”
Sienna looks up and glances at
Hollinsworth before ignoring him and grabbing Selena.
She then drags her up and knees her in the chest. Sienna then hooks her up and
places her on the top rope. The crowd boos. Sienna then starts to climb up to
the middle rope. She then hooks Selena up and smiles. Selena winces a bit and
tries to fight, but Sienna nails her in the ribs and then again. She then steps
up to the top turnbuckle and hooks Sienna up before hitting a superplex. The crowd boos as Selena hits and rolls to her
side from the impact. Sienna winces and looks up. She takes a moment and slowly
rolls to her side. The crowd meanwhile starts to roar. We then see security
guards running around the arena from one side of the arena, moving in the
crowd. The camera cuts to show Xander Valentine with
what appears to be a taser in his hand, taking out
one guard as several fans can be seen running away from him. He storms to the
ring, alone, as Xander steps over the barricade.
Sharper: “Oh my God! Get
security out here-“
Sharper pulls the headset off,
pulled away by Knots as they back away, joined by
Phillips who quickly steps up the steel steps. Some security start to follow
and Xander turns and uses the taser
one on one of them before pushing them back into two others before throwing it
down and entering the ring. Sienna starts to get up and sees him and Xander immediately boots her in the face. The crowd roars
before some boo. Xander then grabs her before Sienna
can react as we see Dean Black, several officials and security running down. Xander quickly hoists Sienna up in one motion, pressing her
over his head before turning and throwing her over the top rope. The security
guards stop to catch her, safely doing so, before bowling down. The crowd ohs.
Sharper: “Xander
Valentine intervening! We need help! Sienna Swann launched! Thank God the
security was there.”
Knots: “And Sienna was
supporting his issue with Selena. Didn’t agree with the
attack, but still…Xander immediately taking her out!”
Sharper: “Oh we gotta go!”
Knots: “Get help!”
Selena stirs and Xander grabs her and knees her in the head before kneeing
her in the ribs twice. Each shot he’s working fast and striking hard. He then
double underhooks her and then hoists her up. Xander turns and runs at the ropes and throws her over.
Selena soars through the air before hitting the American announce table and
going through it. The crowd ohs as Selena’s momentum
causes her to hit the top and slide through to the barricade. Xander then smiles before a couple of police officers, part
of the ap have gotten up and
enter the ring. Both have clubs in their hand and one nails Xander
in the back of the leg before Xander drops to a knee
and the other nails him in the back. Xander falls and
one leans on his back as the other grabs at his arms. A few other guards enters the ring, more identified security members as Sasha
is out with Dean Black. Laura Steinbeck is also out as Sienna is being checked
on by officials.
The crowd buzzes as we see
Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots checking on Selena. A couple of other officials
check on the guards tasered
by Xander. Xander keeps
fighting, a smile on his face as one of the police officers place handcuffs on
him. A few other police officers reach the ring as Laura can be seen yelling at
Sasha. Sasha ignores her, checking on Sienna. Selena remains down, holding her
shoulder. The scene then cuts to black.
The screen goes black. The crackling of fire is heard
before being overtaken by loud horns and war drums. The screen brightens by
fire, to reveal the base of a trophy. The camera begins to tilt upwards slowly,
traveling across the bronze surface, engraved with patterns.
“The call has been made. May the finest in the World
converge…”
An empty ring is shown briefly on the bottom half of the
screen. The roar of the crowd begins to join in with the war drums and horns. Scenes begins to populate around the trophy.
“Legends return!”
A quick shot of David Helms delivering the New Jersey Neckbreaker on an unseen opponent, with the announcer’s
exclaim. Shilo Valiant is seen laughing from a dark
room. Josh Hudson hosting up the SCW World Championship belt over his head as a
downed wrestler is shown at his feet.
“Stars collide!”
Lucas Knight is leaning over ropes, pointing at the
camera. Katie Steward executed the Unprettier. Shaun Cruze stepping back and then
drilling an opponent with the Morality. Thirteen lifts a faceless
opponent with the Broken Wings and drops him on the head.
“All around the world they come forward!”
A rapid fire shot of others is shown including unfamiliar
faces, hitting as insane moves as others. Even some of the more popular
wrestlers outside SCW is given screen time but at this
point, everything fades back to the trophy. The camera has reached the summit.
A bronze wrestler is posing, his arms flexed and his hands holding up a
miniature world.
“24 go to war for the right to be remembered as God of
Wrestling!”
At that point, flames eat away at the screen to leave
behind words, written in text looking like smoldering embers.
“SCW and Infamously Dangerous Rum presents God of
Wrestling 2019 tournament. Starts September 28th, 8PM EST, Streaming Live on
Twitch”
We open up backstage to see
Jessica Winters walking backstage. The camera follows her.
Sharper: “Sorry for a moment.
We’re a bit frazzled here…”
Knots: “Jessica’s at least
looking for something to help-“
Jessica heads over to Peyton
Rice, who is standing outside of the locker rooms, a bit surprises.
Jessica: “Peyton! Sorry! I am
wondering if I could get a word. The World Championship match is coming up.”
Peyton: “But what just
happened!”
Jessica: “They’re taking care
of it. Xander being taken out of here. I noticed he’s been arrested.
We’re trying to refocus. Focus on the World Championship. It’s what Owen and Alistaire would have wanted. It’s what they feel
professional wrestling is about.”
Peyton nods.
Peyton: “You’re right. Not
attacks like that. Not actions like that. I just hope Sienna and Selena are
okay. That’s beyond what should be allowed here. Thank god they acted fast. Not
fast enough, but he had a taser-“
Jessica: “Peyton…”
Peyton: “Yes…Owen and Alistaire. This is the match they’re looking forward to. A lot of respect. They’re going to compete. I’m close to
both. It’s…it’s just great that this is ending the
night. Not what we saw. And they’re going to give it their all. Alistaire and
Owen. World Championship. Owen…Alistaire…show them what professional wrestling is all
about!”
Jessica: “One final thing Peyton.
Who do you have?”
Peyton smiles a bit and turns.
Peyton: “The fans.”
Peyton walks off as Jessica
turns to camera.
Jessica: “Adam…Jon…”
The scene opens up to see Adam
Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the wreckage of their table.
Sharper: “Thank you Jessica.
Obviously, things a bit destroyed out here. We’re trying to move on here.”
Knots: “How the hell do we
move on from what we just saw? Selena Frost launched and
thrown into our table. Sienna into security. Police arresting Xander!”
Sharper: “Thank god for the
men in blue. Police officers on hand and subduing Xander, using force given that he assaulted security guards
and competitors.”
Knots: “Well I doubt we’ll get
an update tonight, but we’ll sure hear about it on Breakdown.”
Sharper: “This Xander Valentine situation is unlike anything I’ve ever
seen and we just hope that Selena Frost and Sienna Swann both are alright.”
Knots: “Yeah…”
Sharper: “In any case, we are
going to try and move on and it’s almost apropos that this is what follows. Two
men competing for the World Title, focusing on the in-ring, not what’s outside
of it. Owen Cruze
and Alistaire Allocco. Let’s take a look at
their routes to this point.”
A recap video shows the
history between Owen Cruze and Alistaire
Allocco.
Owen Cruze
vs. Alistaire Allocco
SCW World Championship
The lights straight to flicker
in the arena as “The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over
the PA system, the opening beats bringing a huge cheer from the fans
“Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?”
Owen steps out onto the stage to an even louder outpouring of noise, looking
left and right at the fans and nodding in acknowledgment of their support.
Phillips: “The following
contest is scheduled for onefall, has a sixty minute
time limit and is for the SCW World Championship. First, the challenger, from
Los Angeles, California, he is Owen Cruze!”
He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts
behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking down the ramp, only focussed
on the ring. Owen slides into the ring, and climbs a turnbuckle, raising his
arm as his music fades, and he jumps backwards into the ring.
Sharper: “Trying to reset here
after the shocking moment. Ironically, just as Owen Cruze’s
music suggest, the show must go on.”
Knots: “Fortunately, it looks
like everyone is okay. We can focus though on the most important prize in
wrestling, the SCW World Championship.”
Sharper: “And it may be what
we needed. Two of the young stars in the sport today
competing over the title. No drama. No matter this issue regarding
Peyton Rice, they are respectful, their competing and Adam Allocco was not able
to distract from that.”
Knots: “Someone’s walking out
World Champion. Someone is walking out disappointed.”
Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes!
Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes, that's where the fire
lies!
The spotlights shine forth from the stage, bathing the entire arena in
blinding white lights corresponding with a verse of “Eyes Like
Fire” by Collision of Innocence. A figure stands in front of the curtains, his
arms are extended horizontally, and his legs spread. His back is turned to the
audience. His presence incites a chorus of cheers from the crowd. As the
bright lights starts to dim, you can tell the man is wearing pure white
tights. A blood red sleeveless coat stretching from his
defined torso down to his equally bright white boots. Alistaire kicks out his leg to turn to face the crowd as the
chorus of his theme kicks in. The SCW World Championship sits around his waist.
Phillips: “His opponent, from Rochester, New York, he is the reigning and
defending SCW World Champion, Alistaire Allocco!”
He begins to walk down the ramp with his dark eyes staring intently upon the
ring before him. He marches down with purpose, waving and smiling to the
children in the crowd. He stops at the bottom of the ramp for a moment, before
launching forward, sliding into the ring. Once in the ring, he takes off the
SCW World Championship. He looks at it before handing it to senior official. Demitra steps back and holds the title over his head as the
SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom
corner. Alistaire discards his coat by tossing it to Phillips.
He’s in the center of the ring, he’s hops up and down,
switching his weight behind his feet as he stands. As the song begins to fade
out, Alistaire stares at Owen. Owen looks at the
title as Demitra hands it off.
Sharper: “World Championship
on the line. After what’s happened tonight, at least we end with what I hope
will be a fair fight in that ring.”
Knots: “This is what SCW
should be about.”

Knots: “Using his momentum.
You already see the different styles at work here.”
Sharper: “SCW has the best
talent in the world and despite some of the actions of some, it comes down to
this. Owen Cruze, one of the fastest, most agile
