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.

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.

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.”

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.

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 looks up and turns back to Datura. Datura smirks and looks at Damian. Damian nods and then walks along the ropes. Datura keeps watching him and Damian turns and lunges and goes for a hard right. Datura ducks. Damian stops and turns and Datura nails him with a forearm to the jaw and then a kick to the knee. Damian falls to a knee and Datura rolls him up with a school boy.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Damian kicks out. Datura rolls away, getting distance as Damian turns.

 

Sharper: “Datura striking and moving away.”

 

Knots: “Feeling out. They’ve never been in the ring as far as I know.”

Sharper: “Datura thought she saw an opportunity, but Damian, very aware.”

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 crowd ohs and Datura coughs and falls to a knee. Constantine warns Damian.

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.

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 the top rope. Datura looks up and rolls over before Damian glances back and dives back going for the Martyr Syndrome. Datura rolls toward the corner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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 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.

James steps back and smacks Chris. Chris staggers out and shakes his head before turning and going to throw a hard right, but James blocks it and nails him with a shot. Chris falls back and through the ropes to the floor. James walks over and steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. He grabs Chris and spins him around and nails him with a headbutt. Chris falls over the steel steps and to the floor. James walks around. (1)

 

Sharper: “Hollinworth counting, but very deliberate.”

 

Knots: “He knows they want to fight, but not just that. He doesn’t want to get their ire!”

 

James walks over to Chris and grabs him and pulls him up and nails him with another hard right. He spins to the barricade and leans back. James walks over only for Chris to kick him in the ribs.

Sharper: “Chris driven into the steps!”

 

Knots: “I don’t know if Chris can throw rights with James. Not with James like this!”

 

Sharper: “He’s trying and he’s 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. James slides in and runs at him and cuffs him in the back of the head with a running clothesline. Chris falls over to the mat.

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.

Knots: “How does that feel, huh?!”

Knots: “Are you surprised? The Cannons were great at dirty fighting!”

 

Sharper: “And now Hollinsworth is down? We need another official. Especially in this one!”

 

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: “I think James just saw them.”

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 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.

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.

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 the pin.

Kimberly rolls toward the ropes, as Autumn is barely stirring on the mat. Ryan bolts past the ref, going after Kimberly, only for Marie to club him in the back, before hooking him and hitting him with the Ava 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.”

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.

Knots: “Abigail Lindsay, 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.”

 

Glory turns back and Abigail forearms her again. Glory falls back. Abigail grabs her and whips her across. Glory hits the corner and staggers out and Abigail runs at her and clotheslines her down. Glory hits the mat and Abigail turns and goes for the pin.

Knots: “One ref down. I guess they’re not taking a chance. Not tonight! Glory Braddock and Abigail Lindsay 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.

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.

Bree kicks out! Starr gets to 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.

3!!!
 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!”

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 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: “Selena! My God! Figuring out every way to hit a kick!”

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.

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!”

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.”

He then forces the leg down and hits a kick to the ribs before turning into the ropes and jumping to the middle rope. He twists around for the Cruze Stomp. Alistaire side steps. Owen steps forward and Alistaire grabs him and rolls him up with a school boy.

 

Sharper: “School boy! He dodges the Cruze stomp!”

The crowd roars. The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner and NEW SCW World Champion, Owen Cruze!”

 

Sharper: “Owen Cruze just pinned Alistaire Allocco! Pinned him with the La Magistral!”

 

Knots: “Back and forth and caught him right at the end. He just outwrestled Allocco!”

 

Allocco looks at the official and then turns to Owen as Owen turns and falls to his knees, dropping to them.

 

Sharper: “Two months after Alistaire Allocco had his crowning moment, Owen Cruze has surpassed him and gotten his own here at Apocalypse!”

 

Owen looks out as Alistaire slowly gets up. Demitra hands Owen the SCW World Championship. The crowd erupts in cheers. Alistaire Allocco stands behind Owen and looks at him as Owen clutches the belt. Demitra remains with him before Owen stands up and Demitra raises his arm. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “That young man is on top of the mountain!”

 

Knots: “Look at Allocco! Just watching!”

 

Owen holds the title up as the crowd continues to cheer before he slowly turns and sees Alistaire. Alistaire just looks at him and the anger on his face disappears. He then steps forward and grabs his arm and raises it over his head. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “The respect. The competition! We’ve seen the seedy past tonight, but also, the competitive, and hopefully, very bright future! Good night from Baltimore!”

 

Allocco continues to hold Owen’s arm over his head as the crowd cheers and the scene slowly fades to black…
