“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

We see a shot of the empty ring from Rise to Greatness XVII. Shots of crew members taking down the ring follow, before showing janitors sweeping up litter.

“While the biggest night in wrestling ended, it was only the beginning in other ways.”

We see a shot of Glory Braddock.

Glory: “David…the Last Shadow of Hope will face the Best in the World for his first defense!”

Then a shot of Anastasia Romanov walking to the ring, promoting her film as Selena Frost watches her, before cutting to a shot of Matt Hodges threatening to attack Kelcey Wallace, only for Owen and Kelcey to stop and turn.

Sienna: “Enjoy the spotlight. This is the highest high you’ll ever have.”

We see a shot of Sienna Swann attacking Jordan Majors on Breakdown before cutting to show Jordan Majors fighting to get back into the ring at Rise to Greatness. We then see a shot of Tommy Valentine mocking Xander Valentine.

Xander: “Tommy Valentine…18 days! And you won’t be running!”

Shots of Regan Street getting attacked by Bison Jones, before cutting to show Giovanni Aries laughing as he leaves the building. Shots of Katie Steward grand return follow before we see Starr swinging a chair at Holly Adams as she runs away. Shots of Katya mocking Blake Mason backstage follow before showing Christy Matthews’ image as a “Karen.” Before the scene cuts to black.

We then cut to see David Helms walking to the middle of the ring, holding the SCW World Championship and looking around.

David: “Glory…step up! I’m here and I’m ready. I have everything to lose and you have everything to gain. It’s what the Trios Tournament contract gives you. Just I hope it’s worth the spotlight and the jealousy because Glory…I don’t plan to give this up any time soon! BANG!”

We then cut to a shot of David Helms standing in the ring at Rise to Greatness with his family around him celebrating as the scene fades to black.

“Trials” by Starset plays as the Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents Apocalypse 2020!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments long before we cut to the inside of the Rogers Arena inside Vancouver, British Columbia. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out from the entrance way and then spotlights circle the arena.

Sharper: “We are live in British Columbia as Apocalypse is here!”

The cameras continue to pan throughout the crowd before cutting to ringside where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are standing at ringside, microphones in their hands.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots. Big night tonight and capped off with some big matches including Glory Braddock challenging David Helms for the SCW World Championship.”

Knots: “Gavin Taylor will be watching that one closely. But what about sixty minutes, Sienna Swann. Jordan Majors. It ends tonight!”

Sharper: “Add then some big matches, some big wars. Take the Falls Count Anywhere match. Xander Valentine gets his hands on Tommy Valentine.”

Knots: “Or we’re going Under the Big Top. Aaron Blackbourne and Shilo Valiant one more time. What can they do in that unique environment.”

Sharper: “That and much, much more here tonight!”

Asher Hayes, Cid Turner, Jay Gold, Kelsai Adamson-Mason & James Jefferson vs. Clyde Sutter, Aubrianna Powers, Gavin Taylor, Subarashi & Giovanni Aries

The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.

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, the chorus of the song plays. Around his waist is the SCW Mayhem World Tag Team Championship.

Phillips: “The opening contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Los Angeles, California, he is the All Star, and the one half of the SCW Mayhem World Tag Team Champions…Gavin Taylor!”

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger, tapping his belt. 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.

Sharper: “We start off tonight with ten person tag action. Should be action-packed.”

Knots: “Yeah, but who knows what is going to happen with these teams? Not exactly well-oiled machines. Taylor and Powers maybe!”

“I Am The Very Best…

I Am The Absolute Best…

…and I am the Sexiest of them all!”

After those words are uttered, “Here I Go Again” by Whitesnake starts to play. Aubrianna Powers steps out onto the stage, met with a loud reaction from the fans, some boo and some cheer. She also is wearing one of the SCW Mayhem World Tag Team Championships.

Phillips: “His partner, from Charlotte, North Carolina, she is the MVP, and the other half of the SCW Mayhem World Tag Team Champions…Aubrianna Powers! Together, they are the Most Valuable Friendship!”

She smirks smugly as she confidently strides towards the ring. Aubrianna steps up onto the ring apron and strikes a sexy sultry pose which draws a few cheers from the male contingent, despite the women who continue to boo. Aubrianna then steps through the ropes and approaches the center where she poses again. The music dies down and she waits patiently on her match to begin. She takes off her title, as does Gavin, and they hand them to the official who just hands them off.

Sharper: “The Most Valuable Friendship out first, but they’re just the start of this team.”

Knots: “And it just gets weirder from here!”

The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play. As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face. He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering. After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind.

Phillips: “Next, accompanied by Mason Van Stanton, from Raleigh, North Carolina, he is the Assassin Clyde Sutter!”

The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring; Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron. Mason applauds from the outside as he uses the steel steps to join his client on the ring apron. With the spotlight remaining only on them as one of the few lights in the arena at the moment, Sutter and Van Stanton enter the ring and then stand in the center. Van Stanton applauds his client while the fans continue to show their displeasure. The sound of Metallica dies down and the lights come back on.

Sharper: “Clyde Sutter may be the straw that stirs this drink. He’s been almost rudderless since Rise to Greatness and a violent man without a purpose is a bad thing for the roster.”

Knots: “You’re telling me. Hoping Rise to Greatness would be his crowning moment. It wasn’t.”

Powers looks at Sutter as Sutter smirks at him. Taylor pulls Powers back.

The arena goes dark. On the video screen, we see a lit match being held between two fingers. A few second’s pass before a woman’s voice says: “Fire.”

“素晴らしい”, appears on the screen written in fire as the drum beats from the beginning of UVERworld’s “Touch Off” begin to play. We wait for the song to really kick in.

Ato ikutsu no jiyuu wo!

NA NANANA NANANA NANANA!

An explosion follows and the arena is bathed in the light of the pyro as the song’s mellow and sultry saxophone kicks in. The masked man, known as Subarashi the Demon Slayer makes his way out from the back as flames shoot up from the stage around him.

He stops at the top of the stage and brings his fist to his hand, giving a respectful bow to all those in attendance. Then he brings his left hand up, extending it in his signature Sideways Thumbs Up pose. He takes a deep breath and heads down to the ring.

Phillips: “Now on his way to the ring, from Yokohama, Kanagawa-shi, Japan, he is The Demon Slayer, Subarashi!”

The crowd pops as he slides under the bottom rope and runs over to the corner, leaping up to the middle turnbuckle and extending the Sideways Thumbs up to those in attendance once more, before settling back down onto the canvas and waiting for his match to start. Sutter just looks at him, shaking his head. Subarashi turns and checks out Sutter. Sutter pushes him away.

Sharper: “Subarashi may be the X-factor-“

Knots: “Really? You know who else is coming out!”

Sharper: “That’s true, but Subarashi seems to at least have some morals. And the rest of his team, I can’t say that.”

We’re All Mad Here by Marquis of Vaudeville begins to play as the arena goes dark except for a spotlight as Alice Ames walks out to the center of it. The camera shows a close up as Alice takes a psychedelic colored blow pop and seductively licks it as the arena lights change to wild psychedelic colors as Cain Adams appears with Giovanni Aries riding piggy back on him. Alice continues to lick on the blow while Giovanni Aries has a cigarette hanging in his mouth. He puffs on it for a minute before sticking it in Cain Adams mouth. Giovanni Aries hysterically laughs out and points toward the ring.

Phillips: “Finally, accompanied by Cain Adams and Alice Ames, from Black Rock Desert, Nevada, he is Giovanni Aries!”

They make their way down the ramp as Alice slides into the ring while Cain Adams carries Giovanni Aries to the ring apron. Cain turns his back to the ring apron as Giovanni takes a seat on the ring apron. Giovanni Aries looks around the arena before throwing his arms out and yelling at the top of his lungs:

“DEATH TO THE LIZARD KINGDOM!!!!”

Giovanni breaks out in mad laughter again before pulling himself with the ring ropes and back flipping into the ring as Cain Adams follows by climbing up and the ring ropes. Giovanni Aries circles the ring pointing and yelling about the atrocities of the lizard kingdom before he takes a seat on the top turnbuckle as Cain Adams and Alice Ames stand in front of Giovanni Aries.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries is here. Wonderland en masse.”

Knots: “Is he going to stay? Is he going to get involved?”

Sharper: “I have no clue what to think. He left immediately after his match on Breakdown. He won though, so could go either way.”

The lights suddenly go out in the arena. A few seconds of dark silence are followed by the opening synth of "Out in the Cold" by Judas Priest chiming throughout the arena. Some dark blue lights come on near the entrance ramp, lighting up the stage and arena with an eerie bluish hue as dry ice begins to spread across the stage. Several second pass and right as the sound of a snare echoes throughout the arena, a giant white metal container slowly rises up through the left side of the stage with two words plastered upon it.

A/C UNIT

The guitars kick in and Asher Hayes busts out through one side of the container, clad in his signature long leather jacket and sunglasses with a cloud of frozen mist following him out of the container. He's quickly followed by Cid Turner, who busts out of the opposite side of the container looking disheveled and just generally confused and for some reason not wearing a shirt or jacket while being in an ice box. Cid turns back as Jay Gold walks out from the ice box and shakes his head as Kelsai Adamson-Mason jumps out and looks around. Cid looks in and then looks around as Amy Chastaine walks out from the back. Cid jumps as he looks up to see her. The group then makes their way down towards the ring through the dry ice. They both go up on steel steps on the opposite sides of each other and climb the turnbuckles, pointing dramatically at each other from across the ring in perfect unison and breathing heavily as the chorus of the song plays, the passionate audience singing along.

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Amy Chastaine, first, they are the team of Kelsai Adamson-Mason, Jay Gold, and the A/C Unit, Asher Hayes and Cid Turner!”

"I'm out in the cold

Out in the cold

Hear me calling

Cold

Out in the cold

Please rescue me"

Cid and Asher both hop down to the apron and step in the ring. Asher leans over the top rope and chucks his shades into the crowd and takes his jacket off as Cid nervously strokes his overgrown beard with both hands. Gold moves to the middle of the ring, keeping his eyes on Giovanni as Kelsai Adamson-Mason goes to the ropes.

Sharper: “A/C Unit sharing their unit to get everyone here!”

Knots: “Never say that again.”

Sharper: “Cid Turner and Asher Hayes, joined by Jay Gold and Kelsai Adamson-Mason. And Gold and Turner being in the same ring again. That takes you back.”

SPECOPS!

The lights dim and the sound of marching boots echoes through the speakers as the lights dim while a garbled flag appears on the tron. From behind the curtain the members of SpecOps come out in formation. The members scheduled to fight are in their ring attire while the others are dressed in their military BDUs.

Phillips: “Finally, their partner, accompanied by Clive Jakobsen and Imanov Chovsceh, he is James Jefferson!”

Before they start down the ramp each member of the group salutes. As they walk down the ramp they shake hands with the fans. Once at the ring the legal member, James Jefferson, in the match enter and then give another salute before awaiting the start of the match. Meanwhile the other members of Spec Ops move to stand at attention on either side of the announcer's table.

Sharper: “Spec Ops out last and rounding out this team.”

Knots: “Notice how they came out in two units. You don’t need to worry about Spec-Ops going alone. They’re ready. But A/C Unit coming out as a unit with Gold and Adamson-Mason. Their opponents, a bunch of mercs!”

The two teams look around and Subarashi steps forward, only for Sutter to lift him up and turn and place him on the apron. Giovanni hops down and rolls to the floor, but remains there. The bell sounds.Subarashi looks around as Sutter tells his opponents to come at him. Asher Hayes steps up and Sutter smirks and Asher runs at him and nails him with a hard right and then another. He runs into the ropes, bounces off and Sutter steps up and shoulders him down. Asher hits the mat and rolls over. Sutter then turns and walks over to him and grabs him. Asher tries to pull away, but Sutter knees him in the ribs. He whips him across and Asher bounces off and Sutter launches him up with a back drop. Asher hits hard and slides back to the neutral corner. He nods and Sutter walks over to him and grabs him and pulls him up. Asher however kicks him in the knee and then grabs him and reaches. Sutter holds on and pulls him in. Asher nails him again. He then runs across the ring and Cid tags himself in. Asher bounces off and Sutter steps up and shoulders him down as Cid enters and runs over and jumps up onto him. Sutter catches him and Cid clubs away at his back.

Sharper: “Sutter right now looking for a fight and trying to take on A/C Unit by himself!”

Knots: “And he’s just throwing them around!”

Sharper: “Look at Powers, almost smiling. Enjoying this!”

Knots: “While Giovanni walks around at ringside.”

Giovanni walks around the ring with the Wonderland as Cid clubs Sutter enough to get him to a knee. Cid then runs into the ropes and bounces off and boots Sutter in the face. He falls back. Cid goes for the pin.

Sutter powers out. Cid rolls over. He gets up and turns to his opponent’s corner and spins around and Sutter steps up. Cid runs at him and ducks a clothesline. He reaches out and tags in Gold. Gold enters as Cid jumps up and Sutter catches him. Cid yells out for help as Gold then enters and runs over and jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking Sutter back. Cid rolls through. He rolls to the floor. Giovanni can be seen jawing with Amy as Cid walks around. He grabs Alice, moving past her, and then Cain, and then grabs Giovanni and pulls him back. Giovanni steps up and grabs Cid. He spins him around as Cid yells at him.

Cid: “Trying to get back to my corner!”

Giovanni then nails him with a shot and then another before Kelsai runs along the apron and hits a flip dive onto Giovanni and into Cain. The crowd roars. Amy is a bit stunned by that as Spec Ops head over to maintain order.

Sharper: “Chaos at ringside as Giovanni Aries was going to play some games. Cid just barged through.”

Knots: “Cid’s sometimes going to do his own thing!”

Sharper: “And Spec Ops trying to regain order. Kelsai even with the dive. In the ring, Gold trying to keep Sutter down!”

Gold stops away on Sutter and Sutter gets to his hands and knees. Gold runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Sutter steps up and Gold goes for a spinning heel kick, but Sutter catches him. He then throws him down with a powerbomb. The crowd ohs. Sutter backs up and Aubrianna tags herself in. Sutter turns to her. Power smiles and enters and Gold gets up and Aubrianna quickly hits a spinning heel kick of her own. She goes for the pin.

Gold kicks out. Spec Ops stands between the Wonderland who back up, Giovanni Aries laughing, as Cid backs up with Kelsai and Asher. James remains on the apron ready for a tag to support Gold as Powers stomps Gold a couple of times in the chest.

Sharper: “Gold in trouble now as Aubrianna Powers makes her way in.”

Knots: “And just stopping away. She’d love another win. To keep that streak going!”

Powers then grabs Gold and pulls him up before snapmaring him back down. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a spinning heel kick to the jaw. She rolls through and then dives onto Gold.

Gold kicks out again. He sits up and Powers grabs him and turns and tags in Gavin. Gavin glances at Sutter who is just glaring a hole in them. Taylor enters and Powers grabs Gold’s arm and both hit an arm wrench before pulling him in and hitting a double northern lights suplex. Gavin goes for another pin.

James breaks it up as the crowd cheers. Gold rolls over as Gavin snaps at the official to keep him back. Gavin then turns and looks around before admiring his home, who boo him. Taylor turns away and grabs Gold and pulls him up. He whips him hard into the neutral corner.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor and Aubrianna Powers showing some good teamwork there!”

Knots: “Yeah and Gavin was hoping to get the hometown welcome. Too bad he’s all be disavowed his home here in Vancouver!”

Gavin runs after Gold. Gold gets his boot up. Gavin stumbles back and Gold pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle and then dives forward and grabs Gavin’s head, spinning through with a tornado DDT. The crowd cheers. Gold turns and goes for the pin.

Gavin kicks out. He rolls over and Gold gets up and turns and tags in James Jefferson. The crowd roars as he enters. Gavin starts to get up and looks at him, shakes his head and motions to him to come at him. Jefferson looks at Clive and Imanov. They nod and Jefferson steps forward. Gavin goes to grab him, but Jefferson sweeps arounds him and grabs him and hits a waistlock into a release German suplex. The crowd ohs. Powers enters the ring and enters and Jefferson scoops her up and hits a sidewalk slam. He spins around and turns as Gavin starts to get up and Jefferson kicks him in the ribs. He grabs his head and runs to the corner and spins out, but Gavin shoves him back. Jefferson staggers back and Gavin turns and swings, going for a tag, but misses well, no one before turning and diving, tagging in Subarashi. Subarashi springboards to the top rope and hits a crossbody onto Jefferson. Gavin exits as he turns to Giovanni. Giovanni just mockingly applauds as Amy and Kelsai talk a bit. Gold does too.

Sharper: “Jefferson and Subarashi here. Two newcomers and Subarashi entering in hard as Jefferson quickly showed the Most Valuable Friendship what he can do!”

Knots: “Throw you around!”

Jefferson rolls over as Powers rolls to the floor. Giovanni Aries turns and starts to go to the crowd, followed Alice and Cain. In the ring, Subarashi gets up and Jefferson turns to him and Subarashi forearms him in the jaw once and then again before hitting a spinning back kick. Subarashi runs into the ropes. Jefferson steps up and lowers his head. Subarashi goes up and rolls down his back. Subarashi gets to his feet and Jefferson hits a back elbow and then a kick to the ribs. He pulls him in and goes to lift him up, but Subarashi headbutts him. He shakes his head and then jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Jefferson kicks out. He rolls over and turns and Subarashi goes for a kick, but Jefferson catches it and lifts his foot up, causing Subarashi to do a backflip to his chest. He rolls over as Jefferson falls back and tags Cid back in. Cid enters and looks at Subarashi who is starting to get up, buckled over. Cid then does a Japanese-style bow.

Sharper: “Subarashi hurt and Cid…I guess showing respect.”

Knots: “Or does he think that’s what Subarashi is doing!”

Sharper: “Well what is Giovanni doing?”

Kelsai goes to drop down, but Clive and Ivanov tell her to stay, focusing on the match. They head over as Cid and Subarashi grapple. Cid then hits an arm drag. Subarashi rolls through to the ropes. Cid walks over and kicks him in the ribs and nails him with another hard right before whipping him across. Subarashi bounces off and Cid hits a clothesline. Subarashi rolls over and Cid turns back and grabs him. He then hoists him up by the head before spinning him out into a neckbreaker. He goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Subarashi with the Pele Kick and Cid Turner stopped!”

Knots: “That’s all well and good. Spec Ops and the Wonderland could be going at it here!”

We see security also by the crowd as Clive and Imanov keep Giovanni back. Giovanni just laughs.

Giovanni: “The security of the Lizard Kingdom. Even acting the part! But you’ll never know what I have next! Never!”

Giovanni laughs as Clive then steps up.

Clive: “Just get back to your corner. Show some integrity. Help you team-“

Giovanni laughs.

Giovanni: “This is my team!”

Giovanni backs up as he turns and walks along the ringside area. Clive and Imanov remain standing guard as Gold watches. Cid then rolls over and tags in Kelsai. Kelsai enters the ring and the crowd cheers a bit as Subarashi gets up and Kelsai runs at him and Subarashi goes for a hip toss, but Kelsai lands on her feet. The crowd ohs.

Asher smirks before Gavin turns and grabs Kelsai. Kelsai hits a jawbreaker. She then turns and runs into the ropes, but Sutter drops down and trips her up. The crowd boos. She then drags her out of the ring. Kelsai looks at him as the crowd boos. Asher then enters the ring and runs across the ring and Sutter throws Kelsai back only for Sutter to hit a flip dive over the top rope onto Sutter. He lands hard on his right leg and rolls over, yelling in pain. Sutter falls over as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes back in the match. He’s been fresh on the apron! Flip dive to take out Sutter who also wasn’t happy waiting!”

Knots: “Two hundred pounds to the face!”

Gavin looks on in the ring as Kelsai starts to motion to Amy and the official as Asher is shown holding his leg. Sutter rolls over as Gavin looks around and then we see Powers enter and Gold walks along the apron and Gavin grabs him and pulls him in. Powers runs over and dropkicks Jefferson off the apron. We see Spec Ops coming over as the official checks on the floor. He puts up and X as Clive and Ivanov head over. Asher is shown grabbing as his shin and ankle as Cid heads over, all confidence sapped and just looking at Asher, discouraged. Giovanni looks on and laughs as Kelsai looks up, glaring at him. In the ring, Gavin and Powers club away on Gold as the crowd boos. Subarashi meanwhile rolls back into the ring.

Sharper: “Folks, this is breaking down.”

Knots: “Hayes is hurt.”

Sharper: “Looks like it here. And Taylor and Powers trying to take advantage!”

Knots: “What about Giovanni Aries laughing?!”

Sharper: “Just sickening.”

Ivanov and Clive come over and help. They can be heard talking to Amy and then the official. The official turns to the ring to see Subarashi shoving Gavin back and then Aubrianna. They look at him and Gold rolls over. He stirs as Jefferson then enters as Powers and Taylor kick Subarashi. They pull him in as the crowd boos. Jefferson then enters and hits a double clothesline, knocking both Gavin and Aubrianna down. Jefferson rolls over as Kelsai. Jefferson rolls over as Ivanov and Clive lift Asher up and place his arms on his shoulders. They start to lead him around the ring. Sutter looks up at this and smirks as Giovanni Aries continues to laugh.

Sharper: “Spec Ops being out here maybe helped. Getting Asher out of here.”

Knots: “And this match is continuing still. Just without one half of the A/C Unit!”

Cid just looks as Kelsai goes back to the ring. Cid, devastating, hands on his hips watches as Asher is carried by the Spec Ops members to the back. He steps forward and Sutter then comes up behind him and nails him from behind. The crowd boos. Sutter grabs him and runs him face first into the barricade. The crowd boos some more as Kelsai looks on stunned as Amy snaps at Sutter. Sutter then grabs Cid and scoops him up, but just then, Subarashi runs at the ropes and hits a plancha over the top rope and landing onto Sutter and Cid, taking both down to the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Subarashi again! Helping his opponents!”

Knots: “Maybe that morality thing coming into play!”

Sharper: “Sutter was attacking Cid while he was watching his friend and tag partner getting taken away by injury.”

Knots: “Sutter remembered the match was still going on!”

Kelsai meanwhile climbs to the top as Jefferson grabs Powers and throws her out of the ring and Gavin staggers up only for Gold to kick him in the ribs and hit the Golden Moment. Gavin rolls over as the crowd roars and Kelsai dives off the top rope with the Bombs Away! The crowd cheers. Kelsai hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers and the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, the team of James Jefferson, Kelsai Adamson-Mason, Jay Gold, Cid Turner and Asher Hayes!”

The crowd cheers.

Giovanni: “Enjoy your hollow victory. Keep chasing those trinkets! You’ll never see the reality of your downfall coming!”

Giovanni laughs as he extends his arms as Amy looks at him as Giovanni walks around the ring with Cain Adams and Alice Ames.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries now yelling at the victors!”

Knots: “Either way, Gavin Taylor’s attack didn’t pay off. Jefferson in there, then Gold and Adamson-Mason putting him away. They may have something there!”

Sharper: “Taylor’s return home to his actual home town not as he’d like, but a chaotic match, and we just hope Asher Hayes is okay.”

Knots: “Hey…rough landing on Sutter.”

Sharper: “We will look to get an update throughout the night. We’re just getting started here in Vancouver!”

In the ring, Jefferson helps Gold up and then Adamson-Mason. Cid remains on the floor and looks at the ring before getting up and starting to head to the back to check on Asher. Amy enters the ring with Spec Ops holding the ropes open for her. Amy thanks them as they celebrate. Sutter looks up at the ring and then Giovanni who walks past him, with his Wonderland minions. Gavin and Aubrianna roll to the floor as Subarashi looks on, a slight smile on his face.

Backstage, we cut to the interview area to see Jessica Winters standing with Katya.

Jessica: “I’m Jessica Winters and I’m here with SCW board member, and sister of our boss, Katya and you’re clearly here to watch an upcoming contest between Blake Mason and Ravyn Taylor. But I have to ask. It seems odd that you’re going on this revenge now.”

Katya: “I think it makes perfect sense. Blake Mason is back and he’s actually going to stick with it. He says he’s at his best. Well, SCW prides itself for having the best talent. Let’s test him. Maybe when he falls flat on his face, like we all know he will…he’ll walk away and never return.”

Katya scoffs.

Katya: “But my sister likes second chances. I don’t think he’s deserves one.”

Jessica: “This has to be more than just you responding to something that happened nearly a decade ago!”

Katya: “I have my reasons. And well, they’re going to help me make sure I enjoy tonight. You should too…we can be reminded that Ravyn Taylor is a World Championship competitor too. Something my sister has tended to forgotten, as have many of you.”

Katya turns and heads off. Jessica watches her leave as the scene cuts away.

Maria Salvatore vs. Konrad Raab

“Ante Up” by M.O.P. begins to blast across the sound system. As it does Maria Salvatore comes out wearing her Maria Hearts Maleek leather jacket and fedora. She’s followed out by her husband Maleek Raheem.

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall! First, making her way to the ring, accompanied by Maleek Raheem, from Florence, Italy, Maria Salvatore!”

Sharper: “Maria Salvatore coming down now, making her singles debut here in SCW.”

She smiles as she flips off the crowd. She can’t stop smiling as she immediately runs her way to the ring and slides right inside. She makes it to her feet and runs to the top of the turnbuckle holding her arm proudly in the air. She tosses her leather jacket to her husband on the outside as she waits patiently for the match to begin.

Knots: “We don’t know much about Maria, besides the fact that she’s aligned with Crystal Zdunich and she really does not like Konrad Raab! Really, I guess that’s all we need to know tonight!”

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P. plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain with Dylan Howell coming out behind him. Konrad's wearing his red, green, and blue mask along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iced Rainbow 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: “Her opponent, from Cologne, Germany, accompanied by Dylan Howell, he is The Iced Rainbow, Konrad Raab!”

He ignores the fans due to his focus on wanting to fight in the ring. He goes up the stairs, along with Dylan Howell before going in-between the ropes before sitting down in the corner of the ring with the crowd cheering for him, having a nasty look in his eyes, while Dylan Howell raises his hands in the middle of the ring, before patting Konrad's shoulder and getting out of the ring, waiting for the match to start.

Sharper: “There’s some history here between Konrad Raab and Maria Salvatore. Some real personal issues between the two, beyond SCW.”

Knots: “From what Raab says, the issues mostly reside on Maria’s end!”

Raab gets up from out of the corner and meets Maria in the middle of the ring. She takes off her fedora and throws it in Raab’s face. It falls to the ground and the crowd boos as Maria cackles.

Sharper: “Oh, come on! Getting a shot in before the bell even rings!”

Knots: “The fedora is not only a stylish choice, but a practical one as proven here so far!

The referee holds an angry Raab back as Maria picks her fedora up and turns around to rest it on the top turnbuckle pad. The referee lets Raab loose and rings the bell. Raab rushes Maria from behind as she sets her fedora down and splashes her into the corner. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “And now Raab is coming out hot!”

Knots: “Okay, the fedora may have been a mistake.”

Raab pushes Maria further into the corner and drives his shoulder into her back repeatedly. The referee begins the count as Raab continues.

Raab relents and backs off.

Sharper: “Raab isn’t messing around here, he’s looking to finish this feud!”

Knots: “He told us that we’d see a more aggressive side of The Iced Rainbow tonight and it appears he wasn’t lying!”

Maria stumbles out of the corner but backs right into Raab who hits a chickenwing German suplex. Maria does a reverse somersault due to the impact and keeps rolling until she falls out of the ring. Raheem rushes over to her and helps her up. Raab slides out of the ring and stays on Maria. Raheem backs up as Raab tackles Maria into the barricade and the ref begins the count. (1) Raab thrusts his shoulder into Maria’s gut against the barricade. Maria throws a few desperate shots to Raab’s back. (2) Raab stands back up and Maria goes for a right hand but it’s blocked. Raab knees her in the gut and puts her in position for a suplex.

Sharper: “Raab’s looking for the suplex on the outside!”

(3) Raab lifts up Maria but she slips out and slides back into the ring. Raab runs after her and slides into the ring but Maria hits him with a dropkick to the face before he can get up.

Sharper: “Maria looking to regain control here with a great dropkick to Raab before he even had a chance to get up.”

Maria drops down and rolls Raab over and covers him.

Raab forcefully kicks out. They both get up. Maria kicks Raab in the stomach and hits him with a snap suplex. She shifts over and covers Raab again.

Raab kicks out.

Sharper: “It looks like Maria’s wanting to get this over quickly now.”

Knots: “You’d think she’d want to take her time to get her revenge, but Raab’s aggressiveness might have spooked her! She might just want to get this over with!”

Maria gets up and lays in a few stomps to Raab. Raab gets to his hands and knees through the stomps, but Maria slaps him in his head a few times. She grabs him and roughly drags him to the ropes, resting his neck on the bottom rope. She steps on his back and pulls the second rope up, using all of her weight to choke Raab out with the bottom rope. She laughs as the referee begins the count.

The referee pulls Maria off. She quickly gets back on Raab, getting behind him and pulling him up. She hooks him from behind and looks out to the crowd while smirking.

Sharper: “Now what’s this?”

Maria lifts up Raab and falls back, hitting him with a bridging German suplex.

Knots: “The Frozen Pin!”

Sharper: “Maria just mocking Raab by using his own move!”

Maria keeps the bridge on and the referee slides in for the count.

Raab kicks out. Maria gets up and struts to the corner where her fedora rests.

Knots: “Could you imagine how Raab would have felt, being beaten by his own move?”

Sharper: “Maria’s going back to that fedora now.”

Maria picks up her fedora and puts it back on. The crowd boos as she lounges against the corner, smirking while looking down at a still stirring Raab.

Sharper: “The disrespect Maria is showing here tonight...”

Suddenly, Howell jumps up on the apron and snatches the fedora off of Maria’s head. He hops back down to the floor and holds the fedora up to the crowd. He throws it on the ground and begins wildly stomping on it. The crowd roars as Maria looks on in horror.

Knots: “The fedora! Howell’s stomping it out!”

Sharper: “Good God, he’s stomping that thing into smithereens!”

Raab gets up and sneaks up behind the distracted Maria. He grabs her and hits her with The Frozen Pin. The crowd continues to cheer. The referee slides in for the count.

The referee stops the count after seeing Maria’s foot resting on the rope. Raab releases the pin and looks up at the referee in frustration.

Sharper: “Maria got her foot on the rope!”

Knots: “I don’t even think that was intentional! She was out!”

Raab gets to his feet as Maria rolls onto her stomach and tries to crawl outside of the ring. Raab grabs her leg and locks in The Ice Lock. Maria goes for the ropes but Raab pulls her back. She flails around, trying desperately to get free.

Sharper: “Ice Lock! This could be it!”

Raab pulls Maria even further back and drops back to the mat, applying a grapevine to The Ice Lock. Maria taps.

Knots: “He got her!”

Sharper: “Konrad Raab finally got his chance at Maria Salvatore and he takes care of business here tonight!”

The crowd cheers as “Cold as Ice” by M.O.P. plays. Raab releases the hold and gets up as Howell slides into the ring.

Phillips: "Here is your winner, via submission, Konrad Raab!"

The referee raises Raab’s arm in victory as Howell raises his other arm in the same manner. Maria rolls out of the ring. Raheem picks up her crushed fedora and goes to check on her. Raab continues to celebrate as the scene fades.

Cid Turner walks out of the trainer’s room and runs his hand through his hair. He turns to head down a hallway, clearly flustered.

Matt: “Cid! Cid! Cidnay!”

Matt Hodges then runs over to him. Cid stops and turns.

Cid: “Oh…hey…son! Uh…”

Matt: “I saw what happened with Asher. Tough break. Guess he wasn’t exactly the most well built. Probably the massive drug problem in his past. Made him all brittle. But look-“

Cid: “He’s someone who’s been a friend. Helping me-“

Matt: “That’s great. But now, how about we bring the band back together. Team Turner. I mean, if I’m stuck in this tag thing, I’d hate for you to be lost in it.”

Cid: “But you’ve got a freaking Demon Slayer, dude!”

Matt: “Yeah…him…he’s….we’re not a good fit.”

Cid: “Well, that…”

Matt: “Look, I can help you. We can dominate again!”

Cid: “Look, I’m not…”

Matt: “What stupid crap is Asher feeding you? You’re the King of the World? Running around here, quivering. You’re a legend!”

Cid: “Yeah…that was a long time again…and well-“

Matt: “Come on. I’ll go tell Sasha!”

Matt goes to leave. Cid mutters to himself and then turns.

Cid: “Stop!”

Matt turns.

Matt: “What? Look, we can be the C/H Unit…or M/T, just like some of the people’s souls around here-“

Cid: “Asher may be fine. They’re putting some ice, it may be a false alarm. Some more tests. Maybe we’ll see in the tag thingy…yeah….God make me proud….adult son.”

Cid turns and awkwardly heads off. Matt Hodges turns and lets out a silently annoyed grunt as he turns and walks off.

Jake Starr vs. Holly Adams

Yes Bitch

SLAY

"W FACE" By Kumi Koda kicks in full force around the arena as the stage comes into focus. Holly Adams steps up onto the stage, spinning into place at the top of the ramp. Holly poses with her hand on her hip and her other hand high in the air as she pageant waves to the booing crowd.

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall! First, from ‘The City of Angles’ Los Angeles, California, she is Holly Adams!”

Holly starts her walk down to the ring, continuing her pageant wave, with a large smile on her face as the crowd continues to jeer.

Sharper: “After a disgusting act towards Konrad Raab on Breakdown, Holly continued her flawless run since returning here in SCW.”

She stops halfway down the ramp and puts both hands on her chest thanking a fan for their ‘adoration’ for her. She smiles before continuing down the ramp. She walks to the other side of the ramp, pretending to put her hands out to high five and immediately pulls them away and goes back to pageant waving.

Knots: “I guess you can’t help but question her methods, but it’s hard to argue with the results.”

Sharper: “She spit in his eye!”

Knots: “Good aim, too.”

As she comes around the corner, she hops up onto the ring apron. Holly starts to sing along with her theme song, looking directly into the camera closest to her. She gives a million-dollar smile before putting her hand on the camera and pushing it away and she gets into the ring. Holly then grabs the top rope, bends down, and then snaps back quickly, flipping her blonde hair over her head, smiling brightly for the cameras. As she takes her place in the ring, she starts her pageant wave once again as her music dies down.

Sharper: “Can you explain the wave to me?”

Knots: “Well, it’s royal, it’s elegant. Or maybe she just doesn’t want to wear out her wrist. She needs her arms for tweeting, Adam!”

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. The crowd erupts in cheers as they see Chairee in his hands.

Sharper: “Looks like Starr brought some backup!”

Knots: “He terrorized Holly with Chairee last Wednesday on Breakdown. She ran right into a closet to escape!”

He just smiles and nods while raising Chairee into the air. 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.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Des Moines, Iowa, he is the Only Social Misfit Remaining, Jake Starr!”

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. Holly is seen complaining to the referee as Starr unfolds Chairee and sets it on the ground.

Starr: “She’s just here to enjoy the show, Holly!”

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 Starr and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. Holly continues to berate the referee.

Knots: “Holly’s not happy, not one bit!”

Sharper: “Starr said if Holly wants to play dirty, he’ll play right along. He has no qualms with bending the rules.”

Knots: “Chairee might come out to play tonight!”

Starr 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. Suddenly, Holly breaks away from the referee and dropkicks Starr in the back, sending him falling over the ropes and crashing to the outside. The crowd boos. The referee chastises Holly.

Sharper: “Now Holly’s taken a cheap shot! And Starr hit hard out there.”

Knots: “I’m surprised Starr turned his back on her, to be honest. Well, live and learn!”

Holly goes through the ropes and stands on the apron. Starr gets up and Holly leaps off the apron and hits him with a diving crossbody. The crowd ohs as they both roll on the ground. Holly gets up first and picks up Starr. She whips him into the steel steps. Starr stumbles and lands back first into the steps. He winces. Holly turns to the crowd and flips her hair back before posing with her hands beneath her chin, smiling innocently. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “The match hasn’t even started yet and Starr is already in trouble!”

Holly turns back to Starr and hits him with a few stomps. The referee leans over the top rope and signals for Holly to get back into the ring. Holly picks up Starr and throws him into the ring. Starr scatters towards the opposite corner and begins to pull himself back up as Holly slides back into the ring. She stands up and throws her head back and cackles loudly. The referee checks on Starr.

Starr: “Start the match!”

Starr pushes the referee to the side and charges Holly. She’s too busy laughing to notice. Starr tackles her down and begins pummeling her with a series of right hands. The crowd roars as the bell finally rings.

Sharper: “Starr coming back!”

Knots: “And we’re officially underway here, finally!”

Holly fights her way loose and immediately rolls back out of the ring. The crowd boos as she gathers herself. Starr quickly gets up and rushes the ropes, diving through them and hitting Holly with a suicide dive. The crowd cheers. Starr immediately gets up and yells out in excitement as he pounds his chest.

Sharper: “Starr feeding off this hot crowd!”

Knots: “They all want to see Holly’s hot streak end right here, right now! Starr just might give it to ‘em!”

The referee begins the count as Holly rolls on the ground in pain. (1) Starr turns and sees Chairee stood up near him. He points to it and looks out to the crowd. The crowd cheers their approval. (2) In the corner of his eye, he sees Holly stirring and heading towards him. She goes for a right hand, but Starr blocks it and knees her in the stomach. (3) He hooks her for a DDT and drags her over to Chairee. He once again looks out to the crowd with a smile. (4) The crowd roars again. The referee warns Starr.

Sharper: “Starr’s about to risk disqualification!”

Knots: “He’d be the first person to shut Holly up! Well worth it!”

(5) Holly pushes herself free and scrambles back inside the ring. Starr smirks and rolls in after her. Holly gets up and stumbles into the ropes, resting herself against them while holding them tightly. Starr grabs her and tries pulling her off. The referee gets in between them, trying to break it up. In the scuffle, Holly kicks her leg back in between Starr’s legs, dropping him with a low blow. The crowd oohs before booing. Starr falls to the mat as the referee looks on confused.

Sharper: “Damn it! The referee missed the blatant low blow!”

Knots: “Nothing halts your momentum like a kick to the junk, Adam.”

Sharper: “Great analysis, Jon. Oh, Holly going for the cover!”

Holly drops down and hooks Starr’s leg.

Starr gets a shoulder up. Holly slams the mat in frustration. She reaches for Starr’s head and begins raking his eyes. The crowd boos as the referee pulls her off. Holly breaks free and quickly whips her legs around Starr’s head, locking in a figure-four necklock. The crowd begins to buzz as Starr scrapes at Holly’s boots in an attempt to break free. He turns to his side and grips Holly’s legs, managing to slightly loosen the hold.

Sharper: “Starr trying desperately to get free here.”

With the loosened hold, Starr manages to turn his head towards Holly. He gets to his knees with the hold still locked in. He brings himself to his feet but remains bent over. He wraps his arms around Holly’s legs and attempts to bring her up. He gets her up slightly but is unable to fully lift her. He drops her back down. Holly twists her legs, attempting to tighten the hold.

Sharper: “He’s trying to use his size advantage but that hold is locked in tight!”

Starr attempts to lift her once again. He manages to fully lift her up and slams her down with a powerbomb. The crowd cheers.

Knots: “He got it!”

Starr looks lightheaded from being in the hold. He stumbles around before suddenly dropping down, plopping himself on top of Holly.

Holly kicks out. They both get up. Starr hits Holly with a right hand. He hits her with another. He goes for one more but ducks it and slips behind Starr, quickly locking in a waistlock. She rolls backwards and gets Starr in a roll-up. She sits all of her weight onto Starr's legs. The referee slides in for the count. Holly grabs the ropes for extra leverage.

Sharper: "She's got the ropes!"

The referee sees Holly holding the ropes and stops the count, getting up and gesturing for her to get off the ropes. Holly releases the pin and gets in the referee's face.

Holly: "What?! I was just checking the stability of the ropes!"

Knots: "The official is having none of this!"

Holly starts stamping around while berating the referee. Starr gets up and turns her around. He goes for a clothesline but misses. He almost hits the referee but stops just short. Holly bounces off of the ropes and rushes Starr with his back turned. Starr turns around just in time to see Holly going for the Beauty Killer. He drops to the ground. Holly accidentally nails the referee with the kick and he immediately crumples to the ground.

Sharper: "Referee's down after that missed kick!"

Knots: "That looked to be an accident, but something tells me Holly doesn't feel much remorse for that shot based on the fact that she was just screaming in his face!"

Holly turns around to see Starr getting back up from the dodge. She goes to kick Starr between the legs but Starr catches her.

Sharper: "Holly was going for another low blow!"

Starr throws her leg down and slaps her. As Holly holds her cheek, he kicks her between the legs. She holds her pelvis but doesn't go down. Starr looks confused. He suddenly pokes her in the eye. The crowd cheers. Starr shrugs towards the crowd as Holly falls back against the ropes holding her eye while wailing.

Knots: "Starr with his own low blow, but opting for the ole eye poke once it proved ineffective!"

Starr grabs Holly and hits her with a DDT. He gets up and looks at the downed referee. He suddenly slides out of the ring and grabs Chairee from the outside, folding it back up. The crowd cheers. He rolls back into the ring and holds Chairee high into the air while looking out into the crowd.

Sharper: "Referee's still down!"

Knots: "Chairee's about to see some action!"

Holly pulls herself up using the ropes and turns around. Starr swings for her head but she ducks. The crowd is going wild as Holly drops down and slides out of the ring. Starr follows and begins chasing her around the ring while wielding Chairee.

Sharper: "Starr looks like a homicidal maniac!"

Holly slides back in and Starr follows after her. They both get up and Holly goes for a discus elbow but Starr holds up the chair. Holly elbows the chair. She steps back and holds her right arm in pain.

Knots: "Oh no! She can't tweet as efficiently with one arm!"

Starr swings the chair and drills Holly in the back. The crowd roars as she falls to her hands and knees. Starr sees the referee begin to stir and slides Chairee out of the ring. Starr grabs Holly and puts her in position for a DDT.

Sharper: "Starr looking to finish this!"

Knots: "He hits this DDT and we all know what comes next!"

Holly counters and flings Starr over her back. The crowd begins to quiet. Holly stands up and winces while holding her back.

Sharper: "Oh, she got out of it!"

The referee slowly gets up. Holly tries to regain her composure in the corner as Starr gets up. Starr rushes her and goes for a splash but Holly moves. Starr bounces off the top turnbuckle and stumbles back. Holly sweeps him down with a schoolboy. The referee groggily goes down to start the count as Holly puts her feet on the ropes.

Sharper: "No, she's got the ropes again!"

Knots: "Referee doesn't see it this time!"

Starr breaks free but can't beat the count. The crowd boos as "W FACE" by Kumi Koda plays. Holly slides out of the ring and starts walking up the ramp, still nursing her back.

Knots: "Well, once again, we may not like her methods, but Holly's on a roll!"

Sharper: “Give me a break!”

Phillips: "Here is your winner, via pinfall, Holly Adams!"

Starr gets up and looks at the referee, annoyed. The referee slowly rolls out of the ring and catches up to Holly at the top of the ramp. He raises her left arm in the air. She grimaces as she gives her best pageant wave through the pain.

Backstage, we see Peyton Rice walking backstage, shaking her head.

???: “You seem distracted.”

Peyton jumps a bit and turns, and then looks relieved.

Peyton: “Oh…you…Damian…”

Damian Angel walks out of one of the hallways and over to Peyton.

Damian: “The matters with Alistaire really affecting you.”

Peyton sighs.

Peyton: “Yeah….no….I don’t know. I just know that I think I made the right decision. But…why do you care?”

Damian: “Because I owe you. I always have.”

Peyton: “We’ve moved well on from that.”

Damian: “No. You gave me purpose. And while I have not always saw it through, the least I can do is help you.”

Peyton: “And what’s that?”

Damian: “Don’t worry about what Alistaire is trying to do. The void he’s filling. He’s had his own failures. You…you’ve had your own. And now where you go…you can go your own path. You don’t need to worry about him and his sensibility. You can worry about you…and your desires.”

Peyton looks at Damian.

Peyton: “The problem Damian….that would mean it puts me up against someone like you. I saw you trying to do something similar with Xander.”

Damian shrugs.

Damian: “People who matter to me deserve my attention. If that bothers you, then I’m an easy man to find.”

Damian walks off as Peyton watches him leave and the scene cuts away.

Christy Matthews vs. Jason Helms

The camera cuts to the crowd where we see a group of red-shirted security walking in through one of the ground-level entrances. They line up in front of the fans for a moment and seem to be holding them back. Then 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 “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system. The fans boo loudly as we cut to the back. In the back we see Christy Matthews with taped fists and a red ring jacket with the hood pulled up over her head. She flexes her wrists for a few moments before looking behind her where we see Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe both joining her. The fans boo louder as they begin to walk the corridors toward the ring.

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

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

The music keeps playing as we see Christy appear in the doorway that security previously opened. She pauses, her head down for a moment before extending her arms in the mock crucifix pose. After a moment she starts walking to the ring, accompanied by Richter and Crowe. When she approaches ringside, she doesn’t even break stride, simply vaulting over the guardrail and toward the ring apron where she jumps up, quickly ascending the turnbuckles and extending her arms again in the mock crucifix pose.

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the City of Angels, weighing one hundred and thirty-seven pounds and representing Infamous, she is accompanied to the ring by Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe, she is CHRISTY MATTHEWS!”

Knots: “Did you happen to catch her sorry excuse for an apology? I guess I didn’t EARN a proper apology in her opinion, huh?”

Sharper: “Please don’t make her come over here again.”

Knots: “No, no. I’m fine with it. I don’t need an apology! I got a front row seat to see Jason Helms humiliate her in front of everyone!”

She steps up onto the top turnbuckle and then jumps down to the ring, taking off her jacket and throwing it into the corner. At ringside we see Crowe slip it out of the ring. Christy then drops to her knees, extending her arms out again before collapsing back into a seated position in the corner. While sitting in the corner she adjusts her Infamous armband, tapping it with two fingers as she looks to the camera.

The lights in the arena cut and the darkness remains for a moment before the intro of “Hated” by Beartooth starts to play over the PA system, the lyrics appearing on the big screen in time with the music.

“WHO KNEW YOU’D BE HATED FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE…

AND BE A BIG TARGET FOR ALL THE FOR ALL THE INSECURE…”

The crash of drums and the wail of guitars kick the song in properly and as the volume doubles a spotlight appears on the stage to show a smirking Jason Helms standing there with his arms out wide and the fans cheer at the sight of him as he throws his head back to look up at the ceiling.

Phillips: “And her opponent, representing the Handsome Devils Club, from the great state of New Jersey, by way of Hollywood Hills, California and New Orleans, Louisiana, he is the Jackass from New Jersey, Jason Helms!”

Knots: “Don’t forget, he’s also Assistant Manager! He has the sticker to prove it!”

Helms lowers his head again and he removes his jacket before tossing it to the side of the stage. The crowd roars upon seeing Helms wearing the Karen Club t-shirt underneath. Helms smirks and puffs his chest out, proudly showing off the new merchandise. Christy scowls as the crowd continues to go wild.

Sharper: “Jason Helms showing off his new merch. Really trying to get into the head of Christy here.”

Knots: “Doesn’t take much, does it? Karens tend to be sensitive.”

Sharper: “Would you stop?!”

Helms begins his sprint down the ramp. He hits the ring and slides under the ropes, popping straight back up to his feet and scaling the turnbuckles to throw a finger gun at the camera trained on him. Christy stares him down as he poses for the camera. He 'shoots' the gun, mouthing his brother's catchphrase - BANG! - before hopping back where he plays to the fans for a couple seconds and then settles back into his corner. Helms takes his Karen Club t-shirt off and rolls it into a ball. He offers it to Christy. She continues to glare at him.

Knots: “Hey, that’s her shirt! Why doesn’t she want it?!”

He shrugs and walks to the ropes and hangs it over the top rope, offering it to Richter and Crowe. Crowe jumps up and tries to swipe it away but Helms pulls it back in time. He looks to the crowd and shrugs again. He tosses it into the crowd, much to their delight. He returns to his corner and bounces around a bit. He looks at Christy, who’s still staring daggers. He gestures outside to Richter and Crowe.

Helms: “Brought the whole PTA with you, did you, Karen?!”

Helms laughs as a “Karen Matthews” chant breaks out.

Sharper: “Lord. This is not going to be pretty on either side.”

The bell rings. Christy immediately charges Helms but gets hit with a drop toe hold. She bounces off the second turnbuckle pad. She springs back up but Helms runs in and hooks her from behind. He hits her with a snap dragon suplex. The crowd cheers. He quickly crawls over to her and hooks the leg.

Christy kicks out with authority.

Knots: “Could you imagine the meltdown she’d have if she lost that quickly?! You know she’d go straight to the manager!”

Sharper: “Okay, okay. Both getting back to their feet now...”

They both swiftly rise to their feet. Helms goes for a straight kick but Christy catches his leg, holding onto it. She jabs his throat and releases the leg as Helms holds his throat while wincing. The referee warns Christy about the shot but she blows by him and grabs Helms, roughly throwing him into the corner. She grabs the top rope and starts laying in a series of stiff stomps. Helms slowly sinks down into the corner as Christy continues to stomp away. The crowd boos. The referee begins his count.

The referee pulls Christy off and she backs up to the middle of the ring.

Sharper: “I said it wouldn’t be pretty and that’s being proven here early.”

Helms rolls out of the ring, still nursing his throat. Christy heads towards the ropes. She slides out of the ring after him but Helms goes around the corner and slides back in. Christy slides back in but Helms then slides right back out. Christy steps towards Helms and kicks at the ropes, gesturing for him to get in the ring.

Christy: “Coward!”

Helms just smirks as Crowe and Richter begin to make their way to him.

Sharper: “Helms getting under the skin of Christy, something he seems to be doing often as of late.”

Knots: “I mentioned before that I love this man, right?”

Christy quickly slides out but Helms once again slips around the corner and slides in, avoiding Crowe and Richter. Christy tries to rush back in but Helms hits her with a stomp to the face before she can get up. Helms picks her up and hits her with a European uppercut. Christy stumbles into the corner and Helms follows. He kicks her in the back of her left leg. Christy clutches her leg as Helms uses his other leg to kick her in the side. She covers up and Helms kicks her again in the same spot, hitting her in the covering arm. He kicks her again.

Sharper: “Helms regaining control here with a series of stiff shots!”

He grabs her and hits her with another European uppercut. He grabs her and pulls her out of the corner but Christy suddenly pushes him off and hits him with a hard chop. The crowd woos. She keeps it up, chopping him repeatedly, slowly moving Helms back towards the opposite corner with every chop. He gets pushed into the corner. Christy hits him with a European uppercut of her own. She takes him out of the corner and hits him with a snapmare. Helms immediately sits up but Christy hits him with a shoot kick to the spine. He falls back onto the mat and arches his back while wincing. He pulls himself back up but receives another stiff kick to the back. He falls back and rolls onto his stomach. Christy bends down and goes to pick him up. Helms tries to fight back with a right hand to Christy’s stomach. Christy gets hit back a bit but gets right back on Helms with another European uppercut.

Sharper: “Another European uppercut, making sure to stay on top of Helms.”

Knots: “Those Europeans, they’re known for hitting hard!”

She whips him hard into the corner. She goes up and hits him with a backhand chop. The crowd woos. She hits him with another chop, the crowd once again wooing. Helms suddenly busts out of the corner and throws Christy into it. He hits her with a chop of his own. The crowd woos. He goes down and lays in a series of shoulder thrusts right into her abdomen. The referee counts.

Helms stops and whips Christy into the opposite corner. He rushes Christy but she sidesteps out of the corner. Helms hits the corner chest first. Christy gets behind him and applies a waistlock. She goes for a release German suplex. She releases Helms but he just lands on his feet. The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “He landed on his feet out of that release German!”

Knots: “That’s my Assistant Manager!”

Christy gets up without realizing what happened and Helms hits her with a step-up enzuigiri. Christy looks dazed. She stumbles forward and Helms lifts her up for a flapjack. He rotates mid-move and drops Christy right on the top rope, throat first. The crowd ohs. Christy rests on the ropes while holding her throat. She turns around while still holding the ropes. Helms hits her with a standing dropkick, sending her falling to the outside. Richter and Crowe both come to check on her and pull her up. Helms sees this and takes a few steps back before bouncing himself off the ropes. He sprints and leaps over the top rope. Richter and Crowe bail as Helms comes down on Christy with a flying plancha. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “He just cleared the top rope! An amazing move from Jason Helms and now both competitors are down!”

Knots: “This crowd is going off!”

Helms manages to make it to his feet first as the referee begins the count. (1) He picks Christy up and knees her in the stomach. He rolls her into the ring but drags the upper half of her body back onto the apron, face first. (2) Crowe and Richter make their way towards him. He nails Christy in the back with a forearm before looking back at the two.

Helms: “Look, if you all want to talk to the manager, you’re going to have to give me a minute here. I’m dealing with a customer!”

(3) The referee warns off Crowe and Richter as Helms hops up onto the apron. He makes his way to the corner and squares up Christy as the crowd begins to buzz again. He runs forward and goes for a punt but Christy rolls out of the way at the last second.

Sharper: “Oh, that could have been it there! Christy was lucky to get out of the way.”

Knots: “Don’t think she’s safe yet!”

Helms quickly climbs up to the top turnbuckle as Christy gets herself up. Helms leaps off and Christy turns around right into a missile dropkick. The crowd cheers. Helms crawls over for the cover.

Christy gets her shoulder up. Helms goes to the nearest corner and steps out onto the apron. He grabs hold of the ropes as Christy begins to stir. Helms pulls himself back while holding the ropes and launches forward, going for Another Chance, but Christy counters with a knee strike to the head. The crowd ohs as Helms collapses to the mat.

Sharper: “That looked bad. Helms might be out here!”

Knots: “She’s not going for the cover though!”

Christy picks Helms up by the arm and nails him with a ripcord knee strike. The crowd ohs again. Christy sits Helms up on his knees and swiftly bounces off the ropes, coming back with the Far Far Away. She quickly goes for the cover.

Helms kicks out.

Sharper: “I thought that was it! That had to be pure instinct to kick out after that series of moves!”

Christy stays on top of Helms, immediately picking him back up. She hits him with a European uppercut. She follows it up with a spinning back elbow. Christy runs back and bounces off of the ropes. Helms groggily does the same on the opposite side. Christy goes for a running lariat but Helms ducks it and stands his ground. Christy turns around into the ReAwakening. The crowd cheers as Christy drops to a knee, trying to shake off the cobwebs. Helms gets up and grabs her before planting her with a Death Valley driver in the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers as both competitors stay laid out on the ground.

Knots: “What a back and forth here!”

Sharper: “Despite your issues with her and despite her attitude problems, we all know Christy shows up inside that ring, and the same goes for Jason Helms, and we’re seeing that tonight in this contest!”

Helms is the first to stir as he pulls himself up using the ropes. He looks down to see Christy still on the ground motionless. He climbs the turnbuckle and goes to the top rope. He appears to be setting up for Forgotten No More but Crowe suddenly hops up on the apron, grabbing at his leg. The referee rushes over and tries to break it up.

Sharper: “Oh, come on!”

Knots: “The PTA is out in full force now!”

Helms manages to break free and even gets a decent kick in, sending Crowe off the apron and to the floor. Richter goes to check on Crowe. Helms looks down at them and then down at Christy and then back to the two men on the outside. He shrugs before launching himself off the top rope with a moonsault to the outside, taking out both Crowe and Richter. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Good God! High risk maneuver to the outside!”

Knots: “He looked like he was going to go for Christy but maybe he thought he needed to take out the PTA if he wanted to pick up the win here!”

Sharper: “Good point, Jon! It’s a risk, but Crowe and Richter might be out of commission the rest of the way here! No more distractions for Christy!”

Helms takes a moment to get up but he eventually does before the referee has a chance to begin the count. He slides into the ring while holding his ribs. Before he can even fully get up, Christy springs up and rushes at him. She nails him with a running enzuigiri. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Christy was lying in wait after Helms took care of the distraction!”

She quickly brings Helms back up and spikes him with the Happily Never After. The crowd ohs before booing. Christy turns over and hooks the leg.

The crowd continues to boo as the bell sounds and “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps plays. Christy rolls off of Helms and glares down at him.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Christy Matthews!”

Knots: “Damn it.”

Christy gets up and the referee raises her arm. She takes a moment in victory before snatching her arm back and hopping out of the ring. Crowe and Richter are only just coming to as she walks over to them.

Sharper: “Well, after an intense and hard-hitting contest, Christy Matthews comes out on top with the Happily Never After.”

Christy stops in front of Crowe and Richter and looks over to Knots. She stares him down.

Knots: “Yeah, yeah, you won. Congratulations.”

She scowls at him before beginning to make her way up the ramp as Crowe and Richter follow. Helms sits up in the ring and watches as Christy goes, a look of frustration on his face.

We cut to the announce table.

Sharper: “A lovely moment there.”

Knots: “Oh yeah, a blast!”

Sharper: “Well, not the way Jason Helms wanted that to go. Christy has her own hopes. Either way, on our next edition of Breakdown. Big things taking place.”

Knots: “Yeah. We don’t know all of the teams. We know some of them. But the SCW Tag League will kick off on Breakdown!”

Sharper: “Sixteen teams. Two blocs. All to celebrate and bring competition to the division. We know Frozen Hell and the Golden Boys will be in there. Matt Hodges will team with Subarashi. And Sasha noted that Bree Lancaster, Owen Cruze and Ace Marshall would all have teams.”

Knots: “A lot of bragging rights, but this is also going to go until 2021. This is going to be part of the SCW landscape for the foreseeable future and that will be a lot of fun!”

Sharper: “It all starts on the next edition of Breakdown!”

Katie Steward vs. Crystal Zdunich

The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

THE SILVER SCREEN QUEEN IS HERE!!!!

“I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross begins to blast all across the speakers and as that happens we are able to see Crystal Zdunich emerging through the backstage curtain and the roaring boos of the crowd are deafening. Crystal smiles as her grouping of paparazzi gather up in front of the ring and they snag photo after of the Latina beauty.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from Los Angeles, California, she is the Silver Screen Queen, Crystal Zdunich!”

She walks down the ramp as she turns her nose up to the fans. Her following of paparazzi meet her as does a red carpet. She takes in appeal of the cameras smiling as flashes begin to go off one after another. She then runs up the steps where she walks towards the middle of the apron. She blows kisses out to the crowd before dropping into a split entering the ring. She pops back up doing a hair flip as she waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Crystal Zdunich has little respect for Katie Steward. She returned to a lot of fanfare on Breakdown two weeks ago and Zdunich didn’t understand it.”

Knots: “Oh Crystal…you may find out…and maybe still have your hearing!”

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho
A little bit psycho
At night she's screamin'
"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Sweet but Psycho:” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is popelike and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by TJ Johnson, from Los Angeles, California, she is the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length. Katie walks around the ring and up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie goes to her corner.

Sharper: “Katie Steward, Hall of Famer. She’s almost more confident. More driven, taking some time away. But Crystal Zdunich will be a challenge. A hungry newcomer in SCW.”

Knots: “Yeah and Crystal, if someone told her, she’s in there with a Hall of Famer. This is a career making match if she can win it.”

The bell sounds as Katie Steward smirks. Crystal looks at her and smirks too as the bell sounds. The two step out and circle the ring. They then lock up in the middle of the ring. The two then pull back on the hair of one another as Katie yells at the official. Crystal does too. The official counts.

Both let go. They then circle the ring again. They then lunge and lock up again, and again, both go to the hair. Crystal however pulls Katie back and throws her down. Katie rolls over. Crystal smirks.

Crystal: “Stay down! The past is the past!”

Katie gets up and Crystal covers up as Katie forearms her in the jaw. She nails her again and then grabs her and runs her face first into the corner. Crystal turns and Katie kicks her in the ribs, over and over.

Katie backs up and walks around the ring. Crystal winces in pain.

Sharper: “This is clearly not going to be one of those classics. Both full of themselves. Both looking to win tonight.”

Knots: “Not just win. They’ll look to take any shortcut they can.”

Katie then turns around and Crystal runs out and jumps up, hooking Katie’s arm and spinning through with an arm drag. Katie rolls through. She gets up and Crystal hits a dropkick. Katie hits them at. She gets up again and Crystal snapmares her over. She runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Katie sits up and Crystal hits a diving crossbody into a pin.

Katie kicks out. Both get up and Crystal forearms her again and then kicks her in the ribs. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and Katie scoops her up, but Crystal spins through and into another arm drag. Katie gets up and yells out in annoyance before turning, leaning back in the corner. Crystal runs over and jumps up and wraps her legs around her head and takes her out with a flying headscissors takedown.

Sharper: “Crystal, we’ve seen the lucha-libre style come into play. Great headscissors.”

Knots: “Katie’s been off for a while. She looked good on Breakdown, but this is a bit different.”

Crystal then turns and goes for the pin.

Katie kicks out. She looks up and then grabs Katie. She pulls her up and wrenches the arm. She geos for a back kick, but Katie ducks. Crystal spins through and Katie grabs her and cuffs her in the back of the head once, twice and then a third time. Crystal swings back, but Katie ducks again and Crystal spins around only for Katie to kick her in the ribs. She then grabs her and throws her through the ropes to the floor. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Katie just showing the experience. Riling Crystal up and then sending her to the floor.”

Knots: “Playing her. That said, we’ve seen Crystal be a bit more unsure. She wanted to face Katie, but we saw it on Breakdown. Seeing it tonight. Crystal gets an advantage and then unsure. Like she’s being defensive.”

Crystal gets up on the floor. (1) She turns to the ring. Katie looks at her and runs at her and hits a baseball slide. (2) Crystal falls back. Katie then gets up and smirks. She walks around the ring. (3) Crystal gets up again and Katie walks over to the ropes. Crystal grabs her and pulls her to the floor. Katie lands on her feet and Crystal hits a Flashing Lights.

Sharper: “Katie walks right into the Flashing Lights!”

Knots: “Katie getting a bit full of herself!”

The crowd ohs and Katie falls over. (1) Crystal then looks around before grabbing Katie. (2) She pulls her up and turns and rolls her into the ring. (3) She slides in after. She goes for the pin.

Katie gets her shoulder up. She rolls over and the crowd ohs. Crystal turns to the official. She gets up and grabs Katie, pulling her up. She then chops her. The crowd woos. She whips Katie across. She bounces off and Crystal hits a dropkick. She then turns and looks around before running into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a handspring into a jumping moonsault, but Katie gets her knees up. Crystal rolls over in pain. She turns and holds her ribs.

Sharper: “Crystal got flashy and Katie got those knees up!”

Knots: “That’s what I’m saying. Just keep it simple. Great you want to get the roar of the crowd or their hatred or whatever, but you’re trying to win!”

Katie gets up and Crystal pulls herself up and turns and Katie grabs her and hits the Hair Flip DDT. The crowd ohs. Katie turns and hooks the leg.

Crystal rolls her shoulder up. Katie looks up and turns before handstanding a bit and hitting a breakdance leg drop. She stays on Crystal, demanding the count.

Crystal pushes her off. She rolls over and Katie gets up and grabs her. She places her head between her legs. She then double underhooks her. The crowd cheers. Crystal however fights and back drops Katie. Katie hits the mat and rolls over and Crystal grabs her and hits a side Russian leg sweep. Crystal turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. She then looks around and looks at Katie as she staggers back up to her feet. Crystal dives off and Katie hits a dropkick. Crystal hits hard. She rolls over and starts to get up and Katie jumps up and hits the Botox Injection. The crowd ohs as Crystal spins out and down to the mat.

Sharper: “Crystal went high-risk. She took advantage of Katie’s over-confidence, but then fell prey to it herself!”

Knots: “And Crystal just thrown for a loop. Kicks everywhere!”

Sharper: “And now maybe the end. The Platinum Blonde…”

Crystal stirs and Katie watches her a moment as she starts to get up and Katie grabs her from behind, dragging her up and hooking her arms before spinning her around and into the Platinum Blonde! Katie rolls Crystal over and hooks the leg.

The crowd roars and then boos a bit. The bells sounds as Katie rolls off and smiles. TJ Johnson claps in approval and walks up the steel steps and into the ring. The official raises Katie’s arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Katie Steward!”

The crowd boos as Katie gets up and TJ moves the official out of the way before raising her arm instead.

Sharper: “Katie Steward is back and we said it on Wednesday night. She looks refocused. She looks like she’s not going to worry about the extras.”

Knots: “Crystal Zdunich just got a meeting there as to why Katie Steward is a Hall of Famer. And best of all…”

Sharper: “What’s that?”

Knots: “We have our hearing.”

Sharper: “You love beating that dead horse.”

Knots: “What? It’s how I know Kennie loves me!”

Sharper: “Uh-huh.”

Katie Steward continues to stand proud in the ring, smiling as her music plays.

The SCW Camera’s return to ringside with a shot of both Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots. Sharper beginning to step up from his seat.

Knots: “I suppose it’s about that time isn’t it?”

Sharper: “Yes indeed it is. Early last week Chris Cannon requested some time to speak tonight, a lot of rumours circling what exactly he wants to address.”

Knots: “And you drew the short straw, congratulations.”

The two men chuckle before Adam Sharper grabs a microphone and heads towards the steps and walks up those before entering the ring to a roar from the hyped SCW Crowd. He waves to a few fans before our camera switches to inside the ring and a waiting Adam Sharper.

Sharper: “Ladies and Gentleman, I hope you’re all enjoying the show so far a lot happening already both in and outside the ring tonight. But I am here for another reason as some of you may already be aware. Earlier this week Chris Cannon, who hasn’t been seen on SCW TV for a while now requested this time to speak and Sasha and SCW granted him that time, so please join me in welcoming Chris Cannon.”

Sharper motions towards the stage and with that 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 over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to Prometheus by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him. The reaction from the SCW fans are a sea of boo’s as the Brit stands on top of the stage looking out towards the crowd. He is wearing a three-piece suit and is sporting longer hair and a beard when the lights come back on.

Knots: “Chris Cannon there, like Adam said hasn’t been seen for about a month or so and it’s been the most peaceful SCW has been in a good while.”

Chris looks down to the ring and takes a deep breath before walking down the ramp as his music continues. Some fans talk smack at him, but he pays them no attention, even more so as he walks around the ring towards Jason Phillips who hands him a microphone. Chris turns and stops mid stride to look at Jonathan Knots.

Knots: “Keep walking buddy.”

Cannon turns fully and walks up the steps and enters the ring via the middle ropes. Sharper offers a hand which Chris shakes, a few more boos ring out from the crowd as Cannon stands beside Sharper, his music finally fading out.

Sharper: “Warm reception as always.”

Chris nods while looking down at the canvas.

Sharper: “Well thank you for coming out here Chris, I know you requested this time to speak but I also know you requested me to host this segment. So that tells me I have free reign to ask some questions?”

Chris looks up and nods once again, he begins to slowly pace the ring in continued thought.

Knots: “Be careful Adam, he might be baiting you.”

Sharper: “Well then I have to ask the most obvious one to begin with, where is your wife? Why isn’t Sienna out here with you?”

Cannon pauses a moment, the boo’s grow louder at the mention of the fallen angel, Sienna Swann. Chris continues to pay little heed of them before answering.

Cannon: “She’s backstage getting ready for her match later tonight I assume. I haven’t seen or spoken to her as of yet. Besides this moment isn’t about Sienna, it’s about me and where I stand in this company.”

There was a little bite to that last statement from Cannon and Sharper caught it. He holds up his hand and nods accepting that point.

Sharper: “Okay, let’s talk about that then. Your future in this SCW, what is it? We know you’ve been embroiled in a huge contract dispute long before Rise ot Greatness. There had been no real confirmation that you signed; did you sign?”

Cannon: “No.”

There is a mixed reaction from the crowd upon that statement, they obviously are not sure how to see it. Cannon looks out towards them and nods, Adam looking surprised by that blunt answer.

Sharper: “You’re telling us that after all this time, you still haven’t signed?”

Cannon: “No I haven’t, not yet I have the contract on me right now in my pocket.”

Knots: “Figures, he wants to sign it in front of everyone, gloat about how much he squeezed out of SCW.”

Cannon reaches into his jacket pocket and removes a folded piece of paper in his hand.

Cannon: “See here it is, my SCW Contract the one thing I’ve been fighting for what feels like years, but then given the current climate we’re in. It’s easy to believe anything feels like years doesn’t it?”

Sharper: “That is true.”

Cannon: “Glad you and I see eye to eye on something. You see I haven’t signed this contract yet because I’ve been doing A LOT of thinking lately. It’s no secret that I did what was best for my son by relinquishing custody back to Kelcey.”

The mentioning of Kelcey Wallace’s name brings a cheer from the SCW fans. That puts a small smile on Cannon’s lips as he continues.

Cannon: “Glad you all approve of that, but I did it for him and honestly I did it for her as well. Because looking back over the last year and change it puts a lot in perspective. I look at the man I was back then and I’ll be honest, I didn’t like what I see. When I think about to all the trouble I caused during that time, they’re all things I’m not proud of because once upon a time people like the one’s here tonight actually supported me, they cheered me dare I say liked me.”

There are a few vocal fans who do still cheer Cannon, while there are the others who boo loudly.

Cannon: “I’m not proud of thing’s I did, things I did to my ex-wife. Things I did to Kennedy Street. Things I did to Trinity Street either or you Jonathan.”

Cannon turns to face Knots who still sat at his desk.

Cannon: “What I did to you wasn’t professional of me and I know you hate me, I know you don’t like me I’ve heard it countless times when I’ve watched the shows over in the past and that’s fine, I accept all of it. But right here, right now in front of everyone I want to apologize to you for what I did. I want to apologize to your wife for what I did to her, and to Trinity I apologize and anyone else I might have upset, angered as well.”

Knots: “Yeah well it’s one thing to say it, another to mean it entirely.”

Cannon takes a moment while the crowd’s reaction is evident, a lot of boo’s still reigning out. A few cheers but mostly boos, he obviously isn’t wining anyone over.

Sharper: “Well that is rather big of you to do that, I’m sure there are many who will speak about it in time. But what does that have to do with your contract?”

Cannon: “This contract is the product of a man I don’t want to be any more. The way this contract has been drawn up was by a man who bent this company arse over backwards. That isn’t me, and I don’t want it to be me which is why I’ve come to the conclusion that I have. “

Sharper: “Of not signing?”

Cannon: “Yes.”

Cannon then proceeds to tear up the contract that was in his hand which gets a huge buzz from the crowd. Sharper looks on surprised.

Sharper: “What are you doing?”

Cannon: “Finally taking a stand for myself once, one thing I’ve learned recently is that this company is a lot bigger than me. Becoming runner up at Taking Hold of the Flame, while still an achievement to itself, it still stung. Getting knocked out of the United States tournament, that stun too. Not winning that chaotic match at Rise to Greatness, well that was the straw which broke this camels back Adam. And why the next thing I’m going to say is going to put a lot of smiles on peoples faces. This is the last time you will see me in a ring because I’ve decided I’m going to re-“

Suddenly before Cannon could finish out go the lights with a flick of a switch as all eyes focus onto the stage, just then the screen lights up as the opening to Alpha King by Rev Theory begins to play over the P.A system. Then and only then we see a series of words in italic writing phase in and out on the big screen...

.Infamous.

.British.

.Legendary.

Spotlights all start to focus on the stage entrance now changing colours, shades of red, white and blue and during that time a silhouette of a man can be seen walking out onto the stage with a familiar aura of confidence. Just then the final words explode onto the tron causing the crowd to react accordingly as the music hit's into full swing...

.LUCAS KNIGHT.

With all attention is diverted from the ring onto the stage the lights come back on to reveal Lucas Knight. He is wearing his handsome devils jacket along with a pair of jeans, and sunglasses. He smirks before walking down towards the ring where Cannon stands there questioning why he’s there.

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for your 2020 SCW Hall of Fame inductee, Lucas Knight!”

Cannon: “Cut his music off! What the hell, what are you doing out here?”

Cannon watches as Lucas hops onto the apron and enters the ring, ignoring the question for a moment before extending a hand and shaking Sharpers before asking for his microphone which he hands to him.

Knight: “Thanks Adam, but I can take it from here.”

Sharper nods and exits the ring and returns to the announce table where Knots is waiting to see what happens next inside the ring.

Cannon: “I asked you a question, Lucas.”

Knight: “I heard, and I got one for you. Why do you think mate, I sat back there, I listened to what you were saying and I know where it was heading so I had to come out here to make sure you didn’t make the biggest mistake of your career since marrying Sienna Swann.”

There is a roar from the crowd which loved that remark, Lucas shrugs his shoulders to the nearby camera while Chris shakes his head.

Knight: “But I’m not out here to offer marital advice, god knows I’ve been married four times now and finally struck gold with Trinity. Hey Trin, love you.”

Lucas had turned to a camera and waved to it before blowing a kiss. He focuses back on Cannon.

Cannon: “You haven’t changed, always with the jokes.”

Knight: “Sure I have some jokes, but the biggest joke right now is you if you go through with what you’re about to Chris. Because you’re talking about retirement, right? Hanging up those boots or those oxfords you’re wearing? See I’ve been where you are right now, so on a certain level believe it or not I can relate. I remember the old days after all, Monarchy was fun albeit you were forced to join for reasons. But back then I recall the type of guy you were and its still the one you are now. A fighter, you fought for Kelcey back then. It’s what you do mate, you got yourself a hero complex if I’m honest.”

Cannon: “You’re joking right? I’m the furthest thing from a hero these days.”

Knight: “That’s debate able, just depends on the cause but I think this time the one you need to help, its yourself and retiring from this, well I know well enough that you’d be bored because when I was injured back in 2013 you can bet I was and I went through all the motions.”

Cannon: “Yeah, and look at you now. Standing up right no chair in sight, your career being recognized with your Hall of Fame ring. Is that why you’re out here, to gloat to me? Rub a little more salt in the wound? If so get on with it and leave me be.”

Knight laughs and shakes his head, Cannon doesn’t appreciate that.

Knight: “I’m not here to gloat, what would that serve? I’m here to offer you a different option. Call it an olive branch so to speak. See you and I have a lot more in common than you want to believe. We’re both handsome bastards, we’re both Brits and there was a time I was hated by everyone in this company and look at me now.”

Cannon: “Get to your point Lucas.”

Knight: “Alright, here is my point. You heard what’s going on right now with this Tag Team League SCW is holding soon. I want in and I am looking for a partner. Obvious choice would be David but he’s busy with his World Championship reign. Jason he’s busy with one of my ex-wives and well I’ve been looking to get back in the ring again. So what about you and I team up for this thing?”

Sharper: “Wow… I didn’t see that coming!”

Knots: “Is he serious? He’ll turn on him!”

Cannon laughs this time, while some fans are warm to the idea while others not so much and boo loudly.

Cannon: “I think they’ve already given you the answer.”

Knight: “Yeah well I am not asking them, and this isn’t an invite to the club by any stretch of the imagination. Consider it an olive branch, you want to change the perception people have of you? You want to do right by your career? Don’t retire, don’t let people like Adam Allocco win. Sometimes you just need someone to give a damn, so what do you say?”

Cannon: “…”

Cannon looks at the hand Lucas is offering to seal the deal, the crowd buzzing with a mixed reaction but Chris laughs to himself and drops his mic before backing up and exiting the ring. Lucas laughs next as he approaches the ropes.

Knight: “I see well I’ll let you think about it and you can tell me soon yeah, I do have other options but you’re my first choice mate.”

Knight drops the mic and looks out to the crowd before shrugging, not getting the answer he had hoped as of yet.

Sharper: “Cannon not giving him an answer, does this mean he’s retired? Do you think he’ll give Lucas an answer?”

Knots: “Who knows, I’m going to have to have words with Lucas at some point this is a mistake on his part. He trust Cannon as far as he can throw him, even if he could probably do just that. Lucas looks like he’s in great shape.”

Sharper: “He certain does, well let you know if we hear any more news about this possible team up by these two compatriots. But now we have more action for you still to come.”

Matt Hodges vs. Owen Cruze vs. Bree Lancaster vs. Ace Marshall

The haunting opening lines of “Legends Never Die” fill the arena, as smoke begins to form in the entranceway, the fans on their feet

“Legends never die
When the world is callin' you
Can you hear them screaming out your name?
Legends never die (oo-oh)”

As the beat kicks in, a silhouette forms in the smoke, the noise in the arena cranking up a notch

“They never lose hope when everything's cold
And the fighting's near”

Owen Cruze steps out through the smoke, and stands on the stage, with a look left and right and then a smirk, and a nod of acknowledgment to the fans. Kelcey Wallace walks out and stands next to him. Dropping to one knee, Owen punches the floor, pyrotechnics filling the space behind him, before he starts to walk down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a fatal four way match with a thirty minute time limit. First, accompanied by Kelcey Wallace, from Los Angeles, California, he is Owen Cruze!”

Owen slides into the ring under the bottom rope, and straight to a turnbuckle, climbing it and lifting one arm in the air, before then applauding the whole arena, jumping down as his music starts to fade. Kelcey Wallace enters the ring and shows off Owen as Owen walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze is on the path of hoping to soon return to the World Championship contendership ranks. With Kelcey Wallace by his side, he’s hoping tonight he can make a big jump.”

Knots: “It started with Owen Cruze and Matt Hodges going to face. Bree then said Owen should face him. Ace Marshall muscled in, largely to needle Bree. And these four former champs are going to clash in this one.”

A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in cheers as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket.

ADRENALIZE ME

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd.

Phillips: “Next, making his way to the ring, coming in from Las Vegas, Nevada, Ace Marshall!"

Ace casually strolls down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Making his way to the corner, he climbs up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up as the crowd cheers him on. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the audience before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall muscling in this is one way to look at it Jon, but there’s a lot of history here for Ace and Bree. We all remember when Bree won the title, that giant banner-“

Knots: “Ace tore it up with the help of Asher Hayes!”

Sharper: “He disappeared for a bit and Bree and Ace never really had a true blow off there. Maybe this is the night.”

Knots: “Not if Ace wins!”

I Want It All!
I Want It All!
I Want It All!
And I Want It Now!

The opening guitar riff of Queen’s “I Want It All” and Matt Hodges makes his way out from behind the curtain to momentous boos from the crowd. He pays no heed as he walks down to the ring, smirking.

Phillips: “Next, from Miami, Florida, he is World Class, Matt Hodges!”

The fans sing “Matt Hodges sucks!” in unison with the chorus of the song. Hodges slow moves up the steps, wipes his foot on the apron, and gets into the ring. He walks into the opposite corner and pulls on the top rope. “I Want It All” dies out as the fans continue to chant “Matt Hodges sucks!” Owen and Ace both watch him as Hodges smirks and looks around.

Sharper: “Hodges out and he’s been a thorn in everyone he’s targeted. Bree Lancaster saw that on Wednesday night. Owen Cruze got a taste when he threatened to go after Kelcey Wallace, but he was then diverted.”

Knots: “Could be diverted tonight too. He’s trying to get out of teaming with Subarashi in the Tag League. But he needs to focus on this match.”

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, a white robe over her gear 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: “Finally, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside, 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. He goes to the apron as 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. She removes the robe and hands it off as her music fades.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster coming in last.”

Knots: “Gotta have the attention.”

Sharper: “She’s got her attention on the World Championship match later tonight. But this match, it’s also about protecting her spot at the top. The competition in SCW is getting stiffer by the day.”

The bell sounds and Matt Hodges immediately runs over and kicks Ace in the ribs. He then nails him with a forearm before spinning him around and throwing him to the floor. Owen goes after Matt, but Bree runs at Owen and blasts him with a forearm shot, knocking him down. Bree then turns and heads over to Matt who turns around and Bree forearms him in the jaw, nailing him with a shot and then another before Matt swings, but Bree ducks and kicks him in the knee. Matt staggers off to the corner and Bree follows, immediately tracking the knee, and kicks it again. Matt staggers out and Bree turns and goes after it again, but Hodges pulls his leg back. He then thumbs Bree in the eye. He pulls her into a front facelock, but Owen runs past both and jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a moonsault, taking both down. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “And Owen off the ropes with the springboard moonsault! Hodges and Lancaster down!”

Knots: “And Marshall back in and we’re just going to be running fast from the start!”

Owen rolls over as Ace slides in. He gets up and Owen turns and Ace nails him with a hard right. Owen hits the mat and Ace turns and stomps Hodges in the face. Hodges rolls over. Bree grabs at the ropes, squinting and Ace walks over and chops her. Bree walks out, holding her chest and Ace then kicks her in the ribs and hits a vertical suplex. He goes for the pin.

Bree kicks out. Owen gets up as Hodges does too and Hodges turns towards Ace, but Owen kicks him in the ribs. Owen nails him with a hard right and then another. He then goes to whip Hodges but he spins through and sends Owen in. Owen bounces off and Hodges steps up only for Owen to hit a flying forearm. Owen rolls over as Hodges turns to the ropes. Ace turns and kicks Owen in the ribs as he gets up. He double underhooks him and suplexes him over.

Sharper: “Ace taking advantage. Owen and Hodges having a brief back and forth, but not much.”

Knots: “Ace making sure didn’t go more. Hey! It’s stunning! He wants to win!”

Ace gets up and turns and stomps away on Owen, getting him to the apron. Ace then turns as Bree rakes Ace’s eyes. Ace turns away as the crowd boos. Bree then runs at him and jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking Ace up and over the top rope. Bree then turns and smirks before turning to Hodges and going back over to him and as he gets up. He nails him with a forearm to the jaw. Hodges falls back to the corner. Lancaster walks over to the corner and forearms him again and again. She then grabs Hodges’ leg and pulls him out of the corner. Hodges fights a bit and Lancaster kicks the leg again. The crowd boos. Hodges grimaces and Lancaster then spins through but Hodges pushes her off with his boot. Lancaster falls forward to the ropes, tripping a bit before landing on the middle rope near Owen who jumps up and hits a leg drop. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Owen! Right place, right time!”

Knots: “Bree is just laser focused on that leg. She’s almost focused on what Hodges did on Breakdown!”

Sharper: “Wants to teach him a lesson. But she got caught there!”

Owen gets up and Hodges pulls himself up and runs over and just throws himself into Owen. Owen flies off the apron and lands face and chest first into the Spanish announce table. He rolls over as the crowd ohs. Hodges then turns and grabs Bree, dragging her up and hoisting her up and hitting a back suplex. He goes for the pin.

Bree kicks out. She rolls over, holding her head and neck as Hodges rolls off and gets up and Ace runs over and knees Hodges in the ribs. He then grabs Hodges and goes for a gutwrench. He tries to get him up, but Hodges blocks it. Ace then clubs him in the back once and then again before running into the ropes. He bounces off and Hodges steps up, catches Ace, and takes him over with a T-bone suplex. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “T-Bone suplex takes down Marshall.”

Knots: “Hodges’ knee has enough in it to still pop them hips.”

Hodges rolls over and gets up and sees Bree. He steps over and stomps her in the side, over and over, sending her to the apron. He then pushes her off the apron with his boot and turns back to Ace. Ace starts to get up and Hodges grabs him. Ace nails him in the ribs. Hodges clubs him in the back. He then elbows him in the back of the head before hoisting him up and hitting a backbreaker. He goes for the pin.

Ace kicks out. Ace rolls over and starts to get up. Hodges gets up, shaking his head. Ace moves to the ropes and pulls himself up and Hodges runs at him and clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor. Hodges then looks around. He walks across the ring and rolls to the floor.

Sharper: “Hodges sends Ace out of the ring.”

Knots: “He’s thinking something. Maybe back to Bree?”

Sharper: “It’s Hodges, so who knows what he’s thinking.”

Bree starts to get up and Hodges steps forward a moment before getting a brief running start and just clotheslining her back down. The crowd ohs. Hodges then walks over to his original target, Owen Cruze, who is back up. Hodges grabs him and Owen breaks his hold and nails him with a hard right and then another. The crowd cheers before Hodges knees him in the ribs and drives him face first into the Spanish announce table. Owen staggers back and Hodges grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Hodges rolls in after and Owen stirs. Hodges tells him to get up.

Sharper: “Looks like Hodges is going to go for the match this started as.”

Knots: “He made sure to get some shots in on Owen too. Check his teeth. Loosen them up a bit.”

Owen starts to get up and winces as Hodges runs over and clubs him in the back. He hooks him up and hits a vertical suplex. Hodges turns and smirks as the crowd boos. The crowd chants for Owen as Hodges shakes his head and turns and stomps Owen in the head. Owen rolls over to the corner. Hodges then steps onto Owen and starts to choke him.

Hodges turns to the official and leans on the ropes. The official pleads for the break but Hodges just shrugs as Owen keeps struggling. Hodges then finally steps off as the crowd boos.

Knots: “Hodges realizing you can’t be disqualified.”

Sharper: “And almost causing Owen to pass out from the choke.”

Hodges then walks around the ring as Owen grabs at the ropes. Hodges smirks as he waits, motioning for Owen to get up and Hodges steps up and runs at Owen, but Owen suddenly jumps up and wraps his legs around the head of Hodges. He then frankensteiners’ him into the middle turnbuckle. Hodges falls over to the ropes and Bree grabs him and holds onto him and nails him with a series of hard right hands to the head. The crowd boos as Hodges covers up. Bree pulls away and Hodges rolls over, but remains on the ropes and Owen runs over and jumps up and hits a cannonball into Hodges. He rolls back. He then drags Hodges back to the middle of the ring. He goes for the pin.

Ace breaks it up. Ace rolls through and Bree rolls into the ring. Owen starts to get up and turns and Ace nails him with a hard right and then another.

Sharper: “Ace breaking it up and Owen now on defense again.”

Knots: “And Bree on her way back. This is the problem. Hodges and Cruze can have their battle. It aint lasting long!”

Ace pushes him into the ropes and whips him across, but as he steps up. Bree runs at him and just throws himself at Owen. The crowd ohs as Bree hits a tackle, knocking him down. She starts to get up, a bit slower that she’d like and Ace grabs her and knees her in the ribs. Ace then goes for a back suplex, but Bree backflips through. She then hits the Priceless. Ace falls forward to the ropes. He bounces back and Bree rolls him up with a school boy.

Bree turns around and goes over to Owen who is getting up in the corner. Bree pulls him back and hits a reverse DDT.

Sharper: “Bree just driving Owen down.”

Knots: “She knows she’s got a window and she’s taking advantage!”

Bree goes for the pin.

Owen kicks out. Bree grabs him and starts to drags him up. Owen however fights and pushes her back. Bree staggers back and Ace then runs out of the corner and goes for the One Eyed Royal, but Bree ducks and Ace blasts Hodges with it as he gets up, knocking him through the rope to the floor. The crowd cheers.

Knots: “Good bye Hodges!”

Sharper: “Ace was aiming for Bree! Got Matt! And Matt is in a heap in front of us!”

Knots: “Guess this is a triple threat now!”

Hodges is shown on the floor as Ace turns and gets up and Bree grabs him and hits a small package.

Ace kicks out. Both roll over and get up and Bree kicks Ace in the ribs. She then runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a BOGO. Ace falls back, holding his chest. Owen then runs past Bree and jumps to the middle rope and twists back with a flipping stunner. The crowd ohs. Bree rolls to her back. Owen goes for the pin.

Bree gets up and Owen kicks her in the ribs. Owen then scoops her up and slams her down. Owen turns and moves to the corner. He then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a moonsault. He hooks the leg.

Bree gets her shoulder up again. She rolls over and Hodges gets up from under the ring and rolls into the ring, holding a wrench. He gets up and Owen turns around and Hodges swings, nailing him in the ribs with it. The crowd boos. Owen falls over to his knees and Hodges nails him in the back with it. Owen falls to the mat as Kelcey walks around the ring. Hodges turns and sees Ace and Ace pulls himself up and Hodges nails him in the ribs too. Ace falls over. Hodges smirks as he walks around.

Sharper: “Hodges bringing in a wrench from under the ring.”

Knots: “Guess that technical styling is expanding. We may need to get Statcast or something for those shots to break it down! Maybe he has good mechanics!”

Sharper: “He’s taken down Owen, now Ace. And he’s right back in it.”

Bree starts to stir as Hodges walks over to her and pulls her up, but Bree kicks him in the knee. Hodges grimaces in pain and drops the wrench. Bree then runs at him, but Hodges scoops her up and hits a powerslam. He hooks the leg.

Hodges grimaces in pain and Bree gets up, and doesn’t hesitate as she spins through and locks in the figure four. She starts to bridge up for the Crescent Lock!

Sharper: “Bree knows! She went for the knee!”

Knots: “She’s got that damn Crescent Lock and we’re never going to hear the end of this if Hodges taps this time!”

Sharper: “Hodges tapped in their ironman match but that was in different circumstances! To save more damage! But this…the victory on the line!”

Hodges yells in pain as the official checks on him and Bree bridges up. She looks up and nods as Hodges reaches around, trying to figure out what to do, but then, Owen Cruze gets up on the apron and springboards to the top rope and hits a 450 splash onto Hodges and Lancaster’s legs. The crowds ohs as Hodges yells in pain, rolling over, grabbing at his legs and Bree rolls over, doing the same.

Sharper: “Cruze! From the apron! 450 Splash breaks it up!”

Knots: “And maybe more. Maybe broke their legs! They’re both grasping at them!”

Lancaster and Hodges move away as Owen then gets up. He then looks at Hodges before turning to Lancaster and grabbing her. He pulls her up before lifting her up and hitting a back suplex. Owen rolls over and then turns around as Ace runs at him and grabs him and spins him around and throws him out of the ring. Ace then turns around and stomps Bree in the back of the head before turning and seeing Hodges. Hodges grabs at the ropes. Ace turns around and goes over to Hodges, and grabs him. He goes for an Olympic Slam, but Hodges spins through and then rolls through with a school boy.

The crowd roars and boos. Hodges lets go of Marshall and rolls out of the ring. He ends up at ringside, wincing in pain. Owen starts to get up on the floor and looks across.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Matt Hodges!”

Sharper: “Hodges rolling up Marshall. Owen Cruze focused on Bree Lancaster. Marshall from behind.”

Knots: “Hodges made sure to get him down. But look at him down. He’s eying Owen!”

Matt looks across at Owen Cruze.

Sharper: “May not have had the night he wanted for the Tag League, but he’s happy here. He just beat three former World Champions.”

Knots: “But what the hell does Bree Lancaster think. Everyone focused on her at the end. Owen and Ace did.”

Sharper: “And Hodges took advantage. And he’s the victor here tonight in Vancouver!”

Hodges smirks at Owen as Owen looks at him. Hodges then turns and looks at Kelcey and winks as Kelcey just glares at him. Hodges backs up and starts to limp toward the back. Scott Burnside checks on Bree as Ace looks around. Bree turns and holds her head, clearly annoyed and upset as Scott tries to calm her down.

We cut to see a split shot of Jordan Majors and Sienna Swann getting ready in their locker rooms.

Sharper: “There you see Jordan Majors on the left, Sienna Swann on the right.”

Knots: “They’ve been getting ready for this. Sixty minutes later tonight. Ironwoman match!”

Sharper: “It’s personal. It’s going to be the peak of competition. These two resilient athletes. One is going to walk out a winner though.”

Knots: “And we’ve heard it from Sienna. She’s going to end Jordan Majors. We’re going to see if that happens.”

The split shot remains on the screen for a few moments longer before we cut back to the ring.

Ravyn Taylor vs. Blake Mason

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall.”

The camera cuts to the crowd where we see a group of red-shirted security walking in through one of the ground-level entrances. They line up in front of the fans for a moment and seem to be holding them back. Then 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 “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes hits the PA system.

“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”

The song gets stuck on the word and is then interrupted by the deep sound of the voice of Marilyn Manson.

“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as we cut to the backstage. We see Ravyn Taylor walking the corridors, accompanied by both CHBK and Alexander Crowe. Ravyn has her ring-gear on, and most notably her ring jacket. As she walks the camera reverses down the corridor, and we see Syren making her way toward ringside, and we can hear the boos from the crowd even backstage. We then cut to the shot of the doorway again where we see Ravyn Taylor walk through. She pauses, a smirk on her face for a moment, before beginning to walk to the ring.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

We follow the group as they make their way down toward ringside, with security keeping fans back in the aisles. Ravyn doesn’t seem at all distracted by the noise and movement of people around her however, keeping her eyes focused on the ring. She gets to the barricade and pauses. Alexander Crowe and Syren grab her by the arms and lift her up and over. She jumps down the other side and smirks again as she starts to walk toward the ring.

Phillips: “Introducing, representing Infamous and being accompanied by Alexander Crowe, Syren, and CHBK, hailing from Hell, Michigan, she is an SCW Hall of Famer, an SCW Supreme Champion, and a BAD, BAD GIRL, this is RAVYN TAYLOR!”

Sharper: “What is there you can say about the SCW Hall of Famer that hasn’t already been said? Ravyn Taylor is intelligent, dangerous, and lethal inside of the ring.”

Knots: “Ravyn is the total package, there is no doubt that. She even brings her own fans with her too.”

Sharper: “Yeah, let's hope that all they decide to be, fans.”

Knots: “Oh I am sure that's all they will be, moral support. Ravyn doesn’t want or need any interference. That would ruin all of the fun!”

Ravyn steps up the ring steps, pausing for a moment before encouraging Jason Phillips to walk over toward her. She points to the ropes, telling him to sit on the middle rope to lower it for her. He hesitates before doing exactly that, and she responds by vaulting over the top rope and just smirking at him. She then casually removes her jacket, tossing it into the corner before climbing the turnbuckles on the left camera side and looking out toward the camera. On her arm we see the Infamous skull-logo armband which she points to, tapping it with two fingers as she looks into the camera. Then she goes to her corner while the lights go out. Syren, Crowe, and CHBK position themselves on three sides of the ring rather than standing in a group.

A few moments later, a white spotlight shines at the top of the ramp. In that spotlight we see a man wearing a robe that "Blake Mason Experience" embroidered in white. The lights to the rest of the arena come back on, the chorus to "G.O.A.T" (when money comes) echoes through the loud speaker, most of the fans begin to roar while Blake Mason still has his back turned to the camera. Standing behind him is Jaxson Sullivan, wearing a suit, looking like he is ready to knock someone's head off.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jaxson Sullivan, from Boston, Massachusetts, and weighing 230 pounds, Blake Mason!!”

Blake heads to the ring at a methodical pace. Reaching the steel steps, he walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Jaxson isn't too far behind.

Sharper: “Blake Mason, the former SCW Television Champion, ready to go, who despite the loss to the now Television Champion Syren, has really looked strong recently. Along with him is Jaxson Sullivan who always looks ready to go also.”

Knots: “Ready to go do what exactly, confess his crimes?”

Sharper: “Yes, great commentary when we have Syren, CHBK, Alexander Crowe, and Ravyn Taylor on the other side.”

Knots: “At least they don’t try to hide who they are though. Who knows what Jaxson and for that matter Blake are covering up?”

They reach the center of the ring. Blake turns his back to the main camera. He takes off his robe, hands it to Jaxson. Blake is shown to be wearing black leather pants like wrestling tights. He walks over to the nearest corner. By then, Jaxson is now standing outside the ring, the side not occupied by Infamous, keeping an eye on them, which gets him a wave from CHBK. Back inside the ring, the referee has checked both competitors for weapons and satisfied he calls for the bell to start the match.

As soon as the bell rings the mind games begin, and nobody plays mind games better in SCW than Ravyn. Blake tries multiple times to get Ravyn to lock up with him, but she goes to a corner every time and pokes her head outside on the ring which causes the referee to call for the break. Because he wants to wrestle a clean match, Blake gives Ravyn a clean break each time, though you can tell that he is slightly annoyed with this tactic. His annoyance grows seeing the smirk on Ravyn’s face each time she ducks back into the ring while the crowd boos massively, making her smirk grow even wider.

Sharper: “I know that Ravyn Taylor loves to play with her opponents, but this could be an outstanding match up between her and Blake Mason if she were just interested in actually wrestling.”

Knots: “Right, but as you said Ravyn loves to play with her opponents and do you know why? It's a strategy. She is trying to throw Blake off of his game and from the look on his face, it is working so far.”

Sharper: “And from what we are hearing from the crowd, they are definitely not appreciative of this ploy by Ravyn either.”

Knots: “Your point? Ravyn is not out here to try and make the fans happy. She is out here to win wrestling matches and she is very good at it. Blake needs to make it with her while to wrestle him.”

Blake is finally able to get Ravyn to lock up with him in the center of the ring and it doesn’t take long before Blake slaps on a side headlock. Ravyn tries to wiggle out, but Blake has the hold cinched in, back her toward the ropes before he unleashes a huge European Uppercut that has her staggered. Blake then whips Ravyn off the ropes looking for a clothesline, but Ravyn ducks underneath and then goes right out of the ring in front of the announce table and next to CHBK who is smiling up at Blake in an attempt to frustrate him again. This time Blake thinks about dropping down and rolling out of the ring to give chase, but then looking around at everyone from Infamous he thinks better of it, including Syren who is smiling with the SCW Television Championship belt on her shoulder.

Sharper: “Syren is not in this match, she is out here to do nothing but distract Blake with the Television Championship Belt.”

Knots: “And it is Blake’s fault for letting Syren distract him with that. Blake is not wrestling Syren, he is wrestling Ravyn Taylor and he needs to be aware of that.”

Sharper: “Blake, for as calculating as he can be, he is also known as a bit of a hot head, so I believe he has done pretty well actually not getting distracted in the early going.”

Knots: “The key is that it is early however. Let’s see how Blake’s temper is doing at the end of the match.”

Looking at Syren briefly with the Television Championship belt was all the distraction that Ravyn needed, as she re-entered the ring and turned Blake around and unleashed a European Uppercut of her own followed by another. Ravyn then Irish Whips Blake across to the ropes, but instead of attacking him normally, she sticks her foot out and trips Blake who falls right on his face, and then walks across his back and slides right out of the ring next to CHBK again, prompting another round of huge boos from the fans, as everyone from Infamous is laughing and having a good time at Blake’s expense.

Blake gets to his feet and leans on the ropes, yelling at Ravyn.

Blake: “Are you done playing around? Are we gonna wrestle yet?!”

Ravyn leans into CHBK, speaking. He listens, then nods. Ravyn shrugs, then goes to get back in the ring. She stops though, and motions for Blake to back away from the ropes.

Sharper: “Oh come on! I know Blake has a long history of taking cheap shots, but he hasn't played dirty like that since this last return!”

Knots: “Hey, Ravyn is just being cautious! That man is a snake and they can strike at any time!”

Blake shakes his head a but takes a few steps back. Ravyn slides in and gets to her feet quick. Blake gets her to lock up again. After a standing switch he gets her up and over with a belly to back suplex. Ravyn rolls through and gets up as Blake turns. She goes for a backhand chop but Blake blocks it, grabs her arm then drills her with a short arm lariat.

Sharper: “Finally, some wrestling!”

He nails a jumping knee drop for good measure before making a cover.

1!

2!

Ravyn kicks out. Blake gets up and Ravyn rolls away to the ropes.. She's near Syren's side of the ring and leans through the ropes to speak to her. Syren smirks and adjusts the TV Title belt over her shoulder before speaking in Ravyn's ear. Blake shakes his head. Ravyn nods then gets up and Syren backs away from the ring. Ravyn turns to Blake and he runs at her, turning her inside out with a stiff clothesline.

Knots: “Guess Blake finally had enough of the games!”

Blake then grabs Ravyn, pulls her up, only to drop her with a snap DDT. He makes another cover.

1!

2!

Ravyn kicks out. They both get up and the amusement that has been on Ravyn's face thus far in the match is gone. She steps up and nails Blake with an uppercut. He steps back, and she lands another one. Blake ducks a third and spins around behind Ravyn, then grabs her and tries for another suplex. Ravyn blocks it and throws her elbow back into his ribs, breaking the hold. Ravyn then spins and drills Blake in the head with a spinning elbow. Blake stumbles back. She then drops him with Bust of Pallas. She covers.

1!

2!

Blake kicks out. Ravyn gets right back up, as Blake is slow to his feet. Once he's up, Ravyn drops him again with a dropkick. She then quickly slides and hits him with a baseball slide, knocking Blake under the ropes and out of the ring. He falls to the floor in front of Syren. The crowd oohs. The official starts a count as Ravyn leans on the rope lazily. (1)

Sharper: “Blake Mason in dangerous territory here, we know Infamous has no qualms about using the numbers game to their advantage.”

Knots: “Syren so far looks content to watch Blake writhe in pain though.”

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor seems unconcerned about the count, she'll take a win any way she can get it!”

Blake gets up to a knee, and Syren glares at him. (2) She backs up a few steps, as if to get out of the way to let him get up. Blake grabs the apron and pulls himself up. (3) Syren smirks as Blake stands up. We see Jaxson Sullivan walking over. Blake starts to get back in the ring, but Ravyn stomps on his hands. (4) Blake backs up, glaring up at her as she laughs. He backs away frustrated. (5) Syren steps closer and mouths off, holding the TV belt up, taunting him.

Sharper: “Syren, just rubbing that championship in Blake Mason's face.”

Knots: “He needs to brush that off, not let her under his skin, and get back in the ring or he'll get counted out.”

(6) Syren raises the belt as if aiming for a hit, but Jaxson comes from behind Blake and steps between them. Syren immediately backs away, lowering the belt. Jaxson nods, then backs away. Blake gives him a nod and turns back to the ring. (7) Blake slides in, the official stops the count. Ravyn runs over and tries to stomp Blake in the back before he can get up, but he rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. He then runs at Ravyn and dropkicks her into the corner. He follows, hitting a running knee. Blake hits two more knees then completes Mason's Ambition with a bulldog. He makes a cover.

1!

2!

Ravyn kicks out. Blake rolls off and hits the mat in frustration. Ravyn gets up and Blake does too. They face off in the middle of the ring, and the crowd roars. Blake spins and nails Ravyn with a discus lariat. Ravyn stumbles backwards. Blake grabs her and lifts her up and hits the BME!

Sharper: “BME! Ravyn planted and Blake might make up for losing to Syren right here!”

Knots: “Cover!”

Blake drops for the cover.

1!

Alexander Crowe reaches in and pulls Ravyn's leg under the rope.

2!

The official sees Ravyn's foot, and stops the count. Crowe backs up, smirking as Blake looks on incredulous.

Sharper: “Dammit! Blake planted Ravyn just a little off center and Alexander Crowe had enough reach to pull her foot, the official didn't see Crowe but saw Ravyn's foot! Blake had this won!”

Knots: “All his fault, Adam. Mason isn't a rookie, he should have better ring awareness!”

Blake gets up and Ravyn stirs. Blake pulls her up and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off, ducks a spinning clothesline attempt, and keeps going to the other side. Blake spins out, turns to face Ravyn. She comes off the ropes again and nails Evolutionary Synthesis! Ravyn covers, hooking a leg.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings. Ravyn rolls off as Blake rolls over.

Phillips: “Here is your winner via pinfall.... Ravyn Taylor!”

Ravyn gets to her feet as Syren, CHBK, and Alexander Crowe enter the ring to celebrate.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor showing once again that she can hit that maneuver out of nowhere and get the win! Blake Mason almost had her, if not for Alexander Crowe's assistance.”

Knots: “This isn't horseshoes, almost doesn't count!”

Sharper: “And Blake is not happy about it.”

We see Blake Mason roll out of the ring. Jaxson Sullivan meets him and puts a hand on his shoulder. Blake shrugs it off and they start to exit, as we cut back to Infamous still celebrating in the ring.

A recap video plays of the history between Shilo Valiant and Aaron Blackbourne.

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Shilo Valiant

Under the Big Top Match

The scene opens up to show the ring with several fastened posts to the ringposts and from them, netting extended from the ring apron to the tops of the posts. Only the netting by the entrance way remains down.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is time now for the Under the Big Top Match!”

The crowd roars.

“MAKE ME LAUGH!”

The voice echoes as the main riffs of "The Man Who Laughs" by Rob Zombie is heard, a spotlight shining down on the ramp.

From the back walks Shilo Valiant, walking straight into the single spot of light. He slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, looking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. He slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his attire and mask glowing among the red of the rain and white of the spotlights

Phillips: “First, on his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Man Who Laughs, Shilo Valiant!”

The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it.

With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “This is Shilo’s match. He and Masquerade developed it. This unique cage like match. You can’t climb out. You are inside, but the netting offers a new canvas. A new option.”

Knots: “It’s got enough tautness to give it some bounce. It also can add to some impact. And you can see, just in case it does break, it’s reinforced, crowds have been moved back. He wants Blackbourne to show off. But I’m sure he has plans too.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. After a few moments where nothing happens, a single spotlight suddenly flickers to life on the stage, although there's nothing to be found within its light. A low demonic rumbling sound can be heard as the spotlight continues to flicker, the Tron slowly coming to life with what looks like a grainy black-and-white highlight reel of Rise to Greatness, when these two men last clashed. Special care has been given to highlight each man equally, although when we start to reach the end of the match, the clip slowly burns away. Emerging from the darkness and ashes is an image that resembles Shilo's old mask. After a moment, we suddenly hear what sounds like a distorted audio clip of Adam Lambert singing "I'm here for your entertainment!" that sounds far more twisted and bone-chilling than it has any right to, and when this happens the spotlight flickers out and the image on the Tron distorts, altering the image to instead display a merged mask, the left half being Shilo's current mask and the right half resembling a melting skull with a nail driven diagonally into it.

As the fans buzz with confusion and anticipation, we suddenly hear what sounds like a mashup of “10 Inch Nails” by Audiomachine and “Sin With a Grin” by Shinedown begin to play, the Tron maintaining the split design while occasionally glitching and distorting in tune with the twisted track. The spotlight flickers back on, and standing beneath it is a man wearing a zipped-up black and red hooded jacket with the hood obscuring his face, as well as full length black tights that have the same split Shilo mask/Cursed Design image on each side, black knee pads on over the tights and a familiar set of boots with kickpads. He stands beneath the spotlight with his arms in a familiar X pattern before throwing them out in an even more familiar raised and outstretched pose, causing red pyro to erupt from either side of the stage as several more spotlights suddenly flicker to life and begin panning through the crowd as though they're searching for somebody. The figure finally begins making his way down the ramp, the original spotlight following him but still flickering on occasion. He stops once he's right in front of the ring and the structure he's about to do battle in, taking a moment to look it over while nodding to himself. He slowly glances at something specific in the audience, almost like a silent message to someone specific but the camera doesn't quite pick up who before he throws himself into the ring.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Seattle, Washington, Aaron Blackbourne!”

As he rolls to the center of the ring and rises to his knees, all the spotlights slowly converge into one that shines down upon him as he unzips the jacket and throws off the hood, revealing himself at long last to be Aaron Blackbourne as he crosses his arms in the X pattern one last time before throwing them out in that raised and outstretched pose of his, causing the singular spotlight to once again break apart, this time into spotlights of various different colors that rotate around the structure even as the main lights slowly begin to come back on. As he removes the jacket, we also see that his arm sleeves for the night are a deep crimson color with numerous yellow-green lines criss-crossing them, his body has the word 'HA!' painted all over it in various different shades of green, and the most important thing being his face: the left half being painted to resemble the familiar Cursed Design he debuted at this same event last year, including some paint in his hair to resemble the nail driven into the melting skull design, and the right half is painted to resemble a white demonic half-mask that resembles a skull with yellow-green streaks going up it and into his hair, with what looks like stitches painted down the center of his face to 'join' the two designs together, almost as if he's showing a willingness to indulge in Shilo's 'final exam' while keeping true to what makes him who he is. Shilo just smirks.

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne coming to the ring, dressed in the imagery and the symbolism of Shilo Valiant.”

Knots: “Valiant’s claimed he copied him. Blackbourne I guess taking the bait. Here we go!”

The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Onefall to a finish. Has to happen, middle of the ring!”

Knots: “That’s what it supposed to be. I’ve heard that Shilo has told people he wants to knock Aaron out though!”

Blackbourne and Valiant look at the netting around them as the final side is pulled tight and secured. Shilo then lunges and goes to Blackbourne. Blackbourne side steps as Shilo starts to get up. Blackbourne watches him and Shilo then lunges and then two lock up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another. Shilo gets Blackbourne back to the ropes. Blackbourne pushes back and Shilo spins through. They hold on and get to the corner before Blackbourne pushes out again and Shilo against the ropes, steps through them and pulls Blackbourne through. They go to the apron and then the netting. Shilo lets go and turns and goes for a hard right while Blackbourne is on his back, but Blackbourne stops it and boots him in the face. Shilo rolls back into the ring. Blackbourne then rolls to the apron and grabs at the ropes. He enters the ring.

Sharper: “Shilo stepping up and making Blackbourne get used to the netting.”

Knots: “Toying with him. He wants him to know what the netting feels like. Get him doing things!”

He grabs him and turns and goes to throw him out of the ring into the netting. Blackbourne spins through and ends up on the apron.

Sharper: “Hard dropkick. Shilo caught him. And right now, this isn’t so much feeling out. More I think both know they want to set this one up.”

Knots: “They want something big when they use this. It’s great for momentum building. And that’s clearly in their minds.”

Blackbourne gets up and Shilo walks over and nails him with a hard right. He then pulls him out and hits a vertical suplex. Blackbourne turns as the crowd boos a bit and Shilo grabs him and drags him up. He kicks him in the ribs. He then whips him into the corner. Shilo turns and runs after and Blackbourne gets a back elbow up. Shilo stumbles out and Blackbourne runs out and clotheslines him down. Shilo rolls over and stirs. He gets up and turns to the ropes. Blackbourne turns and runs at him and clotheslines him up and over again. Shilo lands on the apron and rolls into the netting. Blackbourne sees this as the crowd roars and Blackbourne runs across the ring, bounces off and goes for a flip dive over the top, but Shilo rolls out of the way and into the apron. Blackbourne hits the netting, bouncing back and landing right next to the apron. Shilo then grabs him and pulls him up and hoists him up for a back suplex only to drop him crotch first on the top rope. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “No one home!”

Knots: “And then Shilo making him pay. Right on the top rope!”

Sharper: “And look at Shilo. He’s chuckling at him.”

Shilo chuckles before starting to lift the top rope over and over, causing more pain to Blackbourne’s genitals. He hops off and holds himself as Shilo chuckles and Shilo then climbs up to the top rope and steps off, knocking him down with a double axe handle smash. Blackbourne hits the mat.

He looks around and then turns and runs and throws him over the top rope to the netting in front of the announce tables.

Sharper: “Shilo has Blackbourne on dreamstreak here.”

Knots: “Could just now be setting him up to end this fast.”

Blackbourne bounces off and rolls to the apron. Shilo then walks over to Blackbourne and grabs him. He pulls him up for a vertical suplex, but Blackbourne blocks it. Shilo tries again, but Blackbourne blocks it again and nails him in the ribs once and then again before hoisting Shilo up and placing him on the apron. He kicks Shilo in the ribs, places his head between his legs and hoists him up and turns and powerbombs him into the netting. Shilo bounces off and falls forward, but right into Blackbourne who blasts him with a forearm. Shilo falls to a knee and down into the netting. Blackbourne then backs up to the ringpost and runs forward and dives forward into a flipping senton onto Shilo. The crowd ohs. Both roll to the apron after the impact.

Sharper: “Blackbourne using the bounce in the netting to drill Shilo one.”

Knots: “And Shilo may be dimmed from it! He dropped to a knee!”

Sharper: “And then Blackbourne threw himself at Shilo. That’s what the netting does. It offers new opportunities for using one’s body!”

Sharper: “Shilo having a quick moment to realize he needed to get up. The chained moves a problem for Aaron there.”

Shilo sits up and turns and looks at Blackbourne and grabs him. He pulls him up and hoists him up for a back suplex before dropping him down. Shilo runs into the ropes and then stops.

Sharper: “Oh my God! I’ve never seen a foot stomp like that!”

Shilo bounces and drops down. Blackbourne then pulls himself back up and the crowd roars. Blackbourne looks back at Shilo as Shilo grabs at the netting, his left arm, not seen by the camera. Blackbourne looks forward and out to the ground as cups his hands in front of him and Blackbourne turns and twists in the air, going for a stomp, but Shilo rolls out of the way. Blackbourne then goes right through part of the netting, Shilo having torn some of the netting. Blackbourne is caught awkwardly as the crowd ohs.

The crowd boos as Shilo rolls off. She then smiles as he falls to the mat. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Shilo Valiant!”

Sharper: “Valiant caught Blackbourne. The springboard set him up and Shilo caught him.”

Knots: “Right to the jaw. Blackbourne still has Rise to Greatness. And still beat Jason Helms and David Helms last Breakdown, but Shilo Valiant still remains the master of his domain!”

Shilo Valiant then starts to get up and looks around. He remains on his feet, stumbling around a bit.

Sharper: “I hope it was worth. I hope Aaron did what you wanted. I hope also that Aaron can move on!”

Knots: “I think Aaron does too! And damn it, he did some things in this match I didn’t think possible!”

Blackbourne stirs, holds his jaw as Shilo Valiant remains in the ring. His music plays as the crowd boos him. Shilo looks around and smirks before the scene cuts to black.

The scene opens up in a bunker. We hear the sound of explosions including one closer, causing debris and dirt to fall from the ceiling. We then see David Helms walking forward, enjoying a glass of his rum and looking around. She nods and walks over and we then hear the sound of heavy knocking. David looks around and we then see the door fly open and a man all in black step forward, holding a gun.

Man: “Give me tha title!”

David just looks at the man.

David: “Really man? That’s the worst Arnold Braunschweiger impression ever.”

There’s a sigh as the man in black pulls off his mask, revealing it to be Jason Helms.

Jason: “Well damn it, I don’t have a chopper, nor do I know how to get out of here if you want to live, so here we are!”

David sighs. He then looks around.

David: “Well, want some rum then?”

Jason shrugs and heads off. The Under Attack logo comes up on the screen.

“SCW presents Under Attack 2020, on Sunday, October 18, 2020, only on pay per view!”

We cut back to the bunker. We then see the World Championship on the table in the middle of the room. Jason and David cheers as we then notice the World Title has a glass of rum too and they take a swig as the scene ends.

The Golden Boys vs. Frozen Hell

SCW World Tag Team Championship

I am flesh and I am bone
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter and gold
I’ve got fire in my soul
Rise up, ting ting, like glitter
Like glitter and gold
Like glitter

Strobe lights flash around the entrance set to match the beat of “Glitter & Gold”. Out comes Bison Jones steps out from behind the curtains. Bison Jones jogs in place as Adam Allocco steps out behind him, patting Big Bad on his back. He poses at the top of the ramp, flexing his pectorals and then rolling his defined shoulders.

Phillips: The following contest is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! Introducing first at a total combined weight of 512 lbs.! Adam Allocco and Bison Jones… THE GOLDEN BOYS!

Adam steps in front of him and poses, imitating Bison as best as he could. All while this dick measuring contest is going on. Adam soaks in the boos while Bison noticeably mouths something to his boss.

Do you walk in the valley of kings?
Do you walk in the shadow of men
Who sold their lives to a dream?
Do you ponder the manner of things
In the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark

Bison hops up the ring steps while Adam Allocco slides in underneath the bottom rope. Bison goes to one corner, Adam goes to the other corner, both raise their arm high into the air. Bison and Adam retreat their corner and begin to discuss strategy for the upcoming match.

Sharper: “SCW Tag Team Titles on the line here at Apocalypse and Adam Allocco has made this personal with Regan Street and the mocking of her movie. He decided to interrupt the celebration at Rise to Greatness when Frozen Hell won the titles and Regan became a Supreme Champion. Now the Golden Boys get their chance to ruin the celebration.”

Knots: “And we saw the power of Bison, this monster almost broke Regan in half butt we also saw her punch him right in the face. Another thing, Anastasia not out here as usual, Adam probably wanted to protect her from getting clawed by Regan or kicked by Selena.

“HELL HAS FROZEN OVER!”
“BELIEVE IT!”

The fans are roaring in cheers as “Hell Has Frozen Over” by The Megas and Entertainment System plays! From the back walks Regan Street and Selena Frost. Taking the lead, Regan stands on the platform, grinning, as “Snow” falls on the background screens and “fire” dances down the electronic rampway. Lowering herself, as if ready to pounce, Regan holds her claws out as Selena stands behind her, the platinum-blonde's back hand raising up and her front hand reaching out over Regan towards the ring! With a stamp of Selena's foot, ice races along the electronic fire display, causing it to freeze and crack! Both smiling, Regan and Selena spin out of their pose and make their way down the ramp, Mikaela Street coming from the backstage curtains to join them.

Phillips: “Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 257 lbs. They are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, “The Hellcat” Regan Street and “The Snow Queen” Selena Frost! They are... FROZEN HELL!”

As Mikaela reaches the ring and walks over to her proper corner, Selena and Regan slide under the ropes to enter the ring. Getting to her feet, Selena 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 as Regan, matching her partner's smirk, lowers down to a pouncing stance. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes 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 streaks of fire as the lights return to normal. Regan jumps to a turnbuckle and continues to pose with the tag title while Selena stands near her.

Sharper: “The tag team champions are here, and they look ready. Regan hasn’t taken her eyes off Adam Allocco and Selena has always had her partners back. They have to use their speed, agility and smarts against a beast like Bison Jones and let’s face it, a sneak like Allocco.”

Knots: “Adam is a weasel, the guy is a master of deception, Bison is the muscle, Frozen Hell needs to isolate Adam to have a chance in this match, but angry as Regan is, I wouldn’t want to be either of them!

The referee checks each wrestler, they look ready and he calls for the bell as Regan starts the match with Allocco, but he quickly tags out to Bison Jones with a huge smirk on his face, strutting to the corner. Regan sizes up Bison, wasting no time and charging in with a fury of forearms and punches, Bison covers up and pushes her, falling and rolling back up on her feet jumping him again, trying to smother the big man but again he throws her off, Regan lands on her feet, charging in, but Bison goes for a clothesline, Regan ducks, Bison turns into a dropkick, and then another staggering him back just a little, Regan goes for one more as Bison stumbles but doesn’t fall, she runs against the ropes, blind tagging Selena, Regan tries to clothesline him, but he doesn’t fall, he charges in with his own but Selena is there flying from the top rope with a dropkick of her own as Regan gets behind Bison’s legs on all fours causing the big man to fall and roll out of the ring. The crowd roars as Allocco drops down to the floor, furious.

Sharper: “Frozen Hell starting off quick here and they were able to get the big man down! The crowd is loving it and it looks like Allocco is not too happy! He was shielding himself with Bison, not wanting to get in the ring with Regan!”

Knots: “And Frozen Hell is showing why they are the World Tag Team Champions, they keep getting better and better each week, that Bison is the difference maker, he is as ugly as he is strong.”

Bison slams the apron; Adam tries to calm him down when suddenly double suicide dives from Selena and Regan! They knock Adam down and Bison into the guardrail. The roars as both Selena and Regan grab Bison, pushing him into the ring, Regan yells some obscenities to Adam before heading to her corner. Selena hops on the second turnbuckle as Bison gets up, she flies off with a flying reverse elbow, stumbling Bison to the corner, where she jumps on him, striking him with lefts and rights before he pushes her off, she gets right back up but this time Bison runs out with a huge boot knocking Selena to the mats. Bison picks her up in a gorilla press slam, dropping her as Adam is already back in the corner yelling for the tag. Bison tags him in and he quickly starts kicking Selena down, picking her up by the hair, Irish whipping her into the ropes, hitting a jumping knee strike for the cover!

Sharper: “Both of these teams trying to get a quick pinfall on the other! Adam has had Bison do the heavy workload and seems to want being tagged when the opponent is down. What Frozen Hell need to do is isolate Allocco, don’t allow Bison in!

Knots: I don’t think they can control that caged animal; I think he’s going to do whatever he wants!

Knots: “Regan needs to just forget the referee’s edict and go after him! Break the hold, something because right now, if anyone knows the strength of Bison Jones it is Regan and the titles are in jeopardy!”

Regan is clapping, as the crowd claps with her, Selena though is fading fast, the referee starts to check her arm and it drops! He goes to check it again…. And it drops!

Regan and Selena look back with smiles on their faces, knowing they were lucky but also smarter.

Sharper: “What a great match that saw The Golden Boys for a time dominate this match, they did everything right until the end when Adam probably tried to get a little too smart! Frozen Hell on the other hand showed how tough and resilient they are, why they are the Tag Team Champions!”

Knots: “Adam poked the Hellcat one too many times, and their plan almost worked, it was brilliant, but Regan and Selena were two steps ahead, hard fought win for them, as they retain.”

Bison continues to head toward the back as Selena and Regan celebrate in the ring.

The Apocalypse logo comes up on the screen and we see a still of Sienna Swann vs. Jordan Majors.

Sharper: “And they’ll do it in a sixty minute ironwoman match!”

Sienna Swann vs. Jordan Majors

60 Minute Ironwoman Match

Jason Phillips stands in the middle of the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the sixty minute Ironwoman match!”

The rift of “Fallen Angel” by Three Days Grace begins to play, a lone spotlight centers in the entrance way where Sienna Swann has both fists on the ground while balanced on one knee. Slowly standing up, wearing all vinyl wrestling gear, black pointed eyeliner and red lips. Her long blonde hair slicked back in a high ponytail, wearing a pair of black wings that she spreads out with her arms. She now wears shin guards up to her knee pads, black vinyl gauntlets on her wrists and a long sleeve cut off top with her traditional short tights, Xiomara walks out behind her wearing a tight body suit. Sienna with her eyes closed looks up at the rafters before opening them and making her way to the ring with a glare from her icy blue eyes.

Phillips: “Making her way to the ring, first, accompanied by Xiomara Diaz, she is from Johannesburg, South Africa, the Avenging Angel, Sienna Swann!”

Xiomara and Sienna continue to walk toward the ring as “Fallen Angel” continues to play. Xiomara hops to the ring, waits for Sienna to get on the apron before climbing to the second rope, spreading out her black wins as the crowd roars in boos and covers the arena in camera flashes while Xiomara looks on. Sienna hops over landing on her feet in the ring, Xiomara steps in and stands by her as Sienna poses, holding her arms up and wings spread, lowering her head for a moment before looking up with a scowl on her face. Xiomara helps take off her wings before she finally goes to the outside as Sienna stares at the crowd, the referee and anyone within her sights, stretching her jumping knee strike in the corner, awaiting the match to start.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann ready for this. She is looking for dominance. She says she’s going to end Jordan Majors’ professional wrestling career.”

Knots: “A lot of promises. She better be ready. This is a match that frankly both I think could go the distance. It’s a matter of how we get. Most falls in sixty minutes!”

Sharper: “And the added aspect. For Sienna, she saw Chris Cannon come out. And Chris Cannon returning, and not to Sienna’s side, at least openly. Will that rattle her?”

The lights go down and then red lights blink on the stage as “Warrior” by Stitched Up Heart begins to play.

Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a…
Warrior… Warrior…
I’m… I’m a Warrior!

A spotlight shines on the center of the stage to show Jordan Majors from behind, arms outstretched. She turns around right as the guitar riffs and pumps a fist with a smile across her face. She looks out at the crowd and nods a few times before she begins walking down the ramp.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, she is Jordan Majors!”

Jordan keeps her eyes on the ring as she heads down the rampway. She gets to the bottom of the ramp and surveys the crowd once more before running and sliding into the ring. She stays on her stomach. She leans on her elbows and kicks her feet behind her before rolling to her feet. Jordan runs and jumps up on the nearest corner and puts one arm up as she looks out at the crowd and nods her head.

Sharper: “Majors asked for this. And this goes back to Taking Hold of the Flame, to Rise to Greatness. Both nights Jordan Majors’ resilience was a major story. She lasted longer that virtually anyone in the battle royal. She wouldn’t stop at Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “And Sienna wasn’t happy, even with the win, at Rise to Greatness. She came after Majors. Hence this match. Majors wanted this!”

Majors hops down and then turns around and Sienna Swann runs over and nails her with the Kiss of an Angel right to the jaw. Majors falls over to the corner and down to the ropes. The crowd boos as Sienna walks around the ring, a smirk on her face.

Knots: “Sienna Swann picking up where she left off at Rise to Greatness!”

Sharper: “The bell hasn’t started and Sienna Swann with the cheap shot and Majors has to go sixty minutes!”

She turns and sees Majors and Majors steps back and turns and goes for a kick, but Swann catches her and takes her down by the legs. She then pulls her into the middle of the ring and lifts her legs up and turns into a Boston crab. She sits down as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “More pressure on the back. Swann hoping that Majors will now submit.”

Knots: “I can’t see that. I can’t see a situation where Majors taps out to Swann! She won’t give her that!”

Sharper: “If she doesn’t, she could be hurt. And with over half this match still in play…”

Majors yells in pain as Sienna sits down. She looks around and smiles as the referee, Aaron Demitra, checks on Majors. Majors shakes her head and looks around, gritting her teeth, but clearly in pain. Swann smiles confidently as she leans back. Majors looks around, reaching out. She shakes her head as a “Jordan!” chant begins to break out. Majors keeps trying to just fight through the pain. She then manages to bridge up. The crowd roars as Majors yells out.

Sienna turns and hooks the leg.

The crowd boos again. Sienna rolls off and sits next to her, smiling.

Phillips: “Sienna Swann has earned another fall. It is 4-0 Swann!”

Sharper: “All stemming from Swann’s first attack. Majors has been behind and although she’s fighting back. The damage…it’s all built up.”

Knots: “Every time Majors gets something going, Swann takes advantage of the damage she’s already done. And look at that. She’s happy.”

Sharper: “Of course she is. Right now, this is definitive!”

Knots: “And Majors has been fighting, but just…Swann’s too much!”

Swann gets up and looks at Majors. She then smiles. She looks up at the clock too, seeing that the match is just now entering its second half.

Sharper: “And we have just under thirty minutes left of this.”

Knots: “Swann’s personal torture chamber. I’m sorry Jordan…I have to take some of the blame for this.”

Sharper: “The Star of Tomorrow is dimming here in this one.”

Sienna bends over to Majors and says something to her. Majors however stirs and Sienna continues to look down at her. Majors then suddenly spits, while on her back, right in the face of Sienna. The crowd cheers as Sienna steps back, rubbing the spit off her face. She looks around and backs up to the corner. Majors rolls over and starts to get up as Swann, incensed, looks on.

Sharper: “Majors! Defiant!”

Knots: “She wants to see what Swann has next!”

Sharper: “It may be another Kiss of an Angel.”

Knots: “Or she’s going to use someone else’s finisher! May going for the Perfect Fate?”

Majors pulls herself up and steps up, looking at Swann.

The crowd erupts in cheers. Majors turns and throws her arm over Sienna.

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Phillips: “Jordan Majors has earned a fall. Swann leads 4-1!”

Sharper: “Majors is on the board! Finally! She’s on the board!”

Knots: “And she goaded Swann into that. She knows she’s has thirty minutes left. She’s been fighting from behind this whole time!”

Sharper: “She’s been fighting from behind, thanks to Swann’s tactics, but she’s discounted Jordan Majors’ heart!”

The crowd cheers as a loud “Jordan!” chant continues to echo throughout the arena. Jordan slowly rolls over and looks out at the crowd. She then smiles for once in this match and starts to get up and falls into the ropes. She takes a moment as Swann stirs and she rolls over. Swann holds her jaw and face and slowly pulls herself up.

Sharper: “And all of a sudden this match, the tenor changed. Just like that. The Cashout having that impact.”

Sharper: “Only difference is the match is ongoing!”

The crowd boos. Jordan rolls over to the ropes. Sienna stirs as Xiomara Diaz looks on, almost not pleased either.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann wins.”

Knots: “Look at Xiomara though. She’s almost sad!”

Sharper: “Jordan Majors is the one getting up now. Sienna Swann survived! She planned to make that what Jordan Majors had to do. And she did, for the first thirty minutes…but the second thirty minutes…”

Jordan falls to the ropes and rolls to the apron. She drops down to the floor. The crowd continues to cheer her as Xiomara enters to check on Sienna who slowly starts to roll over. She hears her music before then turning and looking over to see Jordan Majors walking to the back. Sienna looks down, the camera focusing on her as the scene fades to black.

We see the sun shining before showing a shot of palm trees, people gathered on a beach, and shots of Syren walking down the street with Ravyn Taylor. This is followed by a shot of Kelcey Wallace talking with Owen Cruze and Peyton Rice. Regan Street can be seen walking along the pier with David Helms.

“Los Angeles, California

Rise to Greatness XVIII, July 25, 2021”

Tommy Valentine vs. Xander Valentine

No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is a No Holds Barred and Falls Count Anywhere match! Introducing first....”

The arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display four words.

HEART FILLED WITH HATE

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the words on screen until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits.

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"FREE-DOM LALALALA FREE-DOM FOLLOW ME!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start jeering, the heat almost palpable in the air.

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp as he looks out into the audience that are now booing loudly, chanting obscenities in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards with his palms upwards, he then stops and then shakes his head before smirking and shrugging. The smirk turns to a full on grin as Kandis and Olaf Erlandsson walks out from the back and stands behind Thomas. He pats Olaf on the shoulder, then turns to give Kandis a kiss.

Phillips: “From Santa Barbara, California and being accompanied by Olaf Erlandsson and Kandis.... he is Tommy Valentine!”

Fireworks then shoot out at the top of the ramp in a burst before the trio start walking down to the ring, Kandis at his side and Olaf slowly walking behind him. Getting to the ring, he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, simply nodding before looking at all the fans in the crowd with undisguised disgust. Olaf and Kandis go to Tommy's corner on the outside. Tommy hops down as his music fades.

Sharper: “This one's gonna be ugly, folks. Tommy Valentine has been in a bad mood since Rise to Greatness. Tag Titles, gone. His enemies successful while he's waiting on the sidelines for a World Championship shot he feels he deserves yet may not get. Could have had a big notch with a win over Bree Lancaster a few days ago, except for Matt Hodges interference being responsible for it.”

Knots: “Probably wondering in the back of his mind too if he can trust Bree Lancaster's word, if she gets her rematch first and wins, letting him have first crack. I'd have my doubts!”

Sharper: “Most of all, his opponent tonight. Xander Valentine. The Executioner, coming for Tommy's head.”

The feedback over the PA system, as if a jack is plugged into an amplifier rips through the arena. While the noise attracts the attention of the crowd, spotlights, one after another shine down onto the stage. The familiar chords of "The Fade to Black" crackles on the sound system as smoke begins to hover on the stage. A shadow stands behind an illuminated curtain, by this point the crowd already caught up in a frenzy. The song's interlude cuts shorts as the lyrics begin:

“Life it seems, will fade away, Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself, Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live, Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me, Need the end to set me free”

As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp. Boos start to hail down on him, but there are some cheers beneath.

Phillips: “And his opponent.... from San Diego, California and being accompanied by Artemis... SCW's Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

Behind Xander emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions herself behind Xander. As if she doesn't exist, he stares down at the ring. A serious glare is painted across his weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring.

Xander gets at the bottom of the ring steps. He stomps the bottom step several times before moving past the steps towards the side of the ring. In a single bound, Xander leaps up onto the apron. He poses for a moment, stretching his shoulders as he continues to look into the ring. He raises his arm high into his air, as to promise victory. He garners another response from the crowd. Meanwhile Artemis has left his side, instead moving towards the timekeeper to take the position of a watcher. She stands there as if no one else exists but Xander and his opponent. Xander looks over at Artemis for a moment, for the first time acknowledging her existence. He tells her something, she nods and takes a step back. Xander then hops up onto the apron and enters the ring, staring at his opponent.

Sharper: “Looks like Xander Valentine told Artemis to stand back.”

Knots: “She shouldn't have to be told, this is a volatile situation.”

Tommy and Xander stare each other down across the ring as the bell rings. Xander immediately charges at Tommy and takes him down with a shoulder tackle. The crowd roars as Xander unloads lefts and rights from the mount position. Tommy covers up, manages to block one hit, creating an opening to fire back. Tommy catches Xander right under the chin, and Xander falls over. Tommy gets on top now and unloads much like Xander did. Tommy lands more than a few shots before Xander shoves him off. Both men back away then get to their feet. The crowd roars again as they stare off.

Sharper: “Off to a frantic start with this one!”

Knots: “If you're watching Apocalypse tonight looking for a wrestling clinic, this isn't it!”

Tommy runs in this time, and hits Xander with a spinning clothesline. Xander goes down but kips right back up. Tommy hits the ropes and Xander turns and Tommy nails him with a dropkick. He then starts dropping boots into Xander's chest not allowing him to get up. After the fourth or fifth stomp, Xander gets a hand around Tommy's ankle and pulls Tommy loses his balance and falls to his back. Xander gets up and plants a stiff kick into Tommy's ribs. He rolls over from the impact. The crowd oohs and we see Kandis leaning on the apron in concern. Xander sees her and takes a step towards her. Kandis backs away from the ring. Xander smirks at her.

Sharper: “Kandis may want to keep her distance, Xander Valentine threatened all manner of violence on her several weeks ago when they had a Breakdown match. It was ended when Void attacked Xander and caused a disqualification. We know Xander doesn't like being interrupted!”

Knots: “Looks like he's one man she doesn't want a piece of!”

Xander turns back to the ring and Tommy is up to a knee, adjusting the laces on his boot. Xander walks over and grabs Tommy by the hair to pull him up, but Tommy swings up with one hand and nails Xander in the head. Xander staggers back and drops to a knee. We then see an object in Tommy's hand as he stands up.

Knots: “What is that? Tommy Valentine pulled something from his boot!”

Sharper: “My God, it's a wrench! You challenge Tommy Valentine to a No Holds Barred match, a hardcore, Underground-like environment, he comes prepared!”

We see Tommy twirling the tool between his fingers like a baton, a smirk on his face. He then tosses the wrench towards the apron. Kandis picks it up and stuffs it into her cleavage. Tommy turns back to Xander, who's still on one knee. Tommy runs and nails him with an enzuigiri. Xander goes down. Tommy makes a cover.

1!

Xander kicks out, shoving Tommy off hard. Tommy gets to his feet as Xander sits up. Tommy runs and goes for a knee strike to Xander's head, but Xander lays back, causing Tommy to miss. He keeps running and hits the ropes, halting his own momentum by grabbing them. He turns as Xander gets up. Xander runs at Tommy, clotheslining him over the top rope and to the floor. Xander slides out to the floor as well, and grabs Tommy before swinging him around and into the ring steps. The crowd oohs as the steps fall over, Tommy flipping over them. Kandis starts to walk around the ring but Olaf stops her.

Sharper: “Didn't take long for this to spill out of the ring, and Xander has Tommy in his crosshairs.”

Knots: “Xander has that strength backed by a sadistic streak but he has to remember who he's dealing with here, Tommy isn't a stranger to violence.”

Sharper: “And Olaf Erlandsson smartly keeping Kandis away from the chaos.”

Xander goes to Tommy and pulls him up. Tommy swings at Xander, but Xander blocks it. He then grabs Tommy by the arm and spins him around, throwing him against the ring apron. Tommy leans over it, holding his side. Xander grabs him again but Tommy spins out of it, counters by grabbing Xander's arm instead and swings him into the ringpost! Xander hits it headfirst and the crowd oohs. Xander leans on the apron, holding his head. Tommy grabs the top step of the ring steps that fell over and sets it up a few feet away. He then backs up, runs, launches himself off the step and drills a knee into the back of Xander's head! Xander falls to the floor. We see Artemis leaning against the barricade watching, her eyes wide.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine doing what he does best, adapting to the environment and using anything he can, including the air!”

Knots: “And Tommy just remembered this is Falls Count Anywhere, he's making a cover!”

Tommy hooks a leg.

1!

Xander kicks out. Tommy gets up, staring at Xander in disbelief.

Knots: “A lesser man would likely be unconscious from that assault, but look! Xander not only kicked out but he's getting up!”

Tommy goes around the corner of the ring and starts digging around under is as Xander uses the apron skirt to pull himself up. He leans on the apron and shakes his head, trying to get it clear. Tommy then stands up, a chair in both hands. The crowd roars. Xander sees this across the ring and glares. Tommy runs around the corner, Xander goes to meet him and Tommy swings for the fences... but Xander ducks! Tommy hits nothing but ringpost, and the chair ricochet's off the post and smacks him in the face. We see Kandis with her hands over her face. Xander laughs, and picks up the chair that Tommy dropped. He then swings, but Tommy also instinctively ducks, ad Xander hits the post instead, too. Xander lets go of the chair as soon as it contacts steel, and it flies away, skittering towards the barricade. Tommy stands upright faces Xander, who promptly dives and spears Tommy into the barricade! The crowd roars as Xander makes a cover, on top of the wreckage.

Tommy kicks out. Xander rolls off and both men seem to be taking a moment to recover.

Sharper: “Xander is giving Tommy's ribs a very hard time so far, that could be detrimental to Tommy's chances here.”

Knots: “While that's true, let's not forget that Xander has had his bell rung twice, first with that hidden wrench and then hitting the ringpost.”

Xander gets up and Tommy rolls over and crawls out of the busted barricade parts. He gets to his feet, then steps over the broken partition. Xander picks up the previously discarded chair and swings. Tommy gets his hands up but still takes a hard hit. He backs up a few steps, turning his back to Xander. Xander swings again, right across Tommy's back. He smirks as Tommy yells in pain, arching his back and grabbing at it. We go to a wide shot and see Kandis walking around the ring in the other direction, ducking a bit trying to keep Xander from seeing her.

Sharper: “What is Kandis doing? She's gonna get herself into trouble!”

Knots: “All within the rules though, because there are no rules!”

Kandis comes around the ring, but stays near the corner, peeking around the ringpost. Olaf is a few steps behind her, watching. Xander still has the chair, and he goes for another swing. Tommy sees it coming though and nails a spinning heel kick into the chair, drilling into Xander's face! The chair clatters down and Xander on top of it. Tommy goes for a cover.

1!

2!

Xander gets his shoulder up. Tommy gets up and kicks at the chair in frustration.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine now wondering how far he has to go to keep Xander Valentine down.”

Knots: “A lot farther than a chair to the face, that's for damn sure.”

Xander starts to get up. Kandis then runs over to Tommy and digs into her shirt. Tommy looks at her confused for a moment until she retrieves the wrench from her cleavage, where she'd stuffed it earlier for safekeeping. Tommy then smirks as Kandis tosses it to him. Xander gets up just in time to see this. He turns towards Kandis and glares at her, before walking towards her. Kandis starts to back up. Tommy though runs up from behind and nails Xander in the back of the head with the wrench. Xander stumbles forward. Kandis turns and runs back around the ring where Olaf is still watching.

Sharper: “That's what Kandis was doing, that wrench Tommy brought to the match in his boot, she gave it back!”

Knots: “Standing by her man, showing the world she loves him!”

Sharper: “Did.... did you just quote Tammy Wynette?”

Knots: “Who?”

Tommy swings again, now hitting Xander in the lower back, right on the spine, with the tool. Xander grunts in pain, but stays on his feet. Kandis watches incredulously. Tommy tosses the wrench aside then grabs Xander and spins him around. He then fires off a forearm to the jaw, then another. Xander blocks a third attempt and firs back with an uppercut. Tommy takes a few steps back, now going up the entrance ramp. Xander follows, and knocks Tommy down with a big boot. We see Artemis has come from around the ring to the side, near where the barricade was broke, so she can see better. Kandis and Olaf are on the other side of the ring, progressing towards the ramp.

Tommy gets up, and Xander grabs him, switches to a rear hold and hits German suplex! Tommy hits the ramp back first, causing a loud clatter. The crowd oohs then roars. Xander turns around and Tommy gets up, holding his back. Xander grabs him and flips him over, into a driver position.

Sharper: “Xander, no! No Holds Barred doesn't overrule the piledriver ban!”

Knots: “Do you think he cares? He came out here for blood!”

Kandis runs from ringside and nails Xander in the back with a double axehandle. Xander loses his grip on Tommy and Tommy goes down, landing on his feet. Xander spins towards Kandis, the rage on his face unmistakable. Kandis starts to back away, her hands up, trying to wave him off. Xander doesn't care though, and moves towards her faster. Tommy sees this and runs towards them, but too late to stop Xander from grabbing Kandis around the throat. She grabs at his hand trying to get free, but Xander is too strong for her. He starts to lift her up, but Olaf strides over and shoves Xander hard. Xander loses his grip and stumbles backwards. Kandis backs up, holding her neck as Olaf gets between her and Xander.

Sharper: “Olaf Erlandsson rescuing Kandis from what looked like it would be a rough ride!”

Knots:”It's about time he does something other than stand there and glare!”

Xander shoves Olaf with both hands. The big man barely moves. Instead he crosses his arms, staring. Xander looks him up and down, and goes to shove him again, but Tommy comes up behind him and grabs an arm, spinning Xander around. Tommy then nails him with a forearm, then a straight kick to the stomach. He then grabs Xander's head and drops him with a DDT. He makes a cover.

1!

Xander kicks out. Tommy rolls off and Xander gets up. They meet at the bottom of the ramp again, both throwing lefts and rights, looking more like a bar fight than a wrestling match.

Sharper: “Another near fall and now both men just teeing off!”

Knots: “They're going up the ramp!”

The crowd roars as Tommy and Xander fight their way halfway up the ramp. Xander steps too close to the edge, and Tommy throws a knee into his side, knocking Xander off the ramp! Midway up, the ramp is about six feet off the ground. Tommy looks at Xander on the floor, and without a second thought turns and launches with Force of Nature! He gets all of it, crashing into Xander and concrete. The crowd oohs. Neither man moves.

Sharper: “That senton, onto concrete! My God!

Knots: “Tommy Valentine might have just injured Xander and himself!”

Sharper: “Wait, there's movement.”

Tommy stirs and drapes himself over Xander.

1!

2!

Xander gets his shoulder up, barely. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “That was two and seventeen-eighteenths!”

Knots: “Tommy can't believe it! And neither can I!”

Tommy rolls off and runs his hand through his hair, the look of frustration on his face unmistakable. Tommy slowly gets to his feet, and he pulls Xander up. Xander shoves him away. Tommy grabs him again, and drags him a few steps down the side of the ramp, then pushes him on it, up off the floor. Tommy then gets back on the ramp. Xander stirs, getting to his hands and knees. Tommy runs and goes for the Knee Deep, but Xander drops back down and Tommy misses. He runs a few more steps up the ramp from momentum, keeping his balance. Xander gets up and Tommy turns and Xander kicks him with a big boot, then drops him with a DDT. He makes a cover.

1!

2!

Tommy kicks out. We see Kandis and Olaf at the bottom of the ramp watching. Artemis hasn't moved from her previous spot near the broken area of the barricade. Xander gets up and pulls Tommy up. He grabs an arm and swings Tommy around, throwing up the ramp, now on the stage. Xander follows, and grabs Tommy again, this time slinging him towards the set rigging. Tommy gets his hands up though and spares himself too hard of an impact into the steel post of the rigging. Tommy turns and Xander greets him with an uppercut. Tommy fires back with a forearm. Xander throws an elbow. Tommy staggers back, but comes back with a running knee. Xander staggers back. They're now in the middle of the stage, right where SCW's finest make their entrances. We see Kandis running up the ramp, the wrench in her hand. Olaf follows, walking at a normal pace.

Sharper: “Kandis doesn't know how to stay back, didn't she get the idea when Xander had her by the throat?”

Knots: “Maybe she liked it, I've heard rumors she's into kink.”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Kandis runs up to Tommy and reaches to hand him the wrench. Xander sees though and intercepts, sweeping her arm away with his. The wrench flies out of her hand and goes clattering down the ramp. Xander grabs her arm and spins her around and starts shoving her down the ramp. Kandis tries to resist, but Xander shoves harder. Kandis stumbles and falls, hitting her knees hard. She puts her hands down. Tommy runs over to help but Xander turns and stops him, shoving him backwards. They're back on the stage and once again start flinging punches wildly, both connecting with a few. Xander then swings for Tommy's ribs instead of his face and Tommy can't block the unexpected strike. He backs up, holding his side. We see Olaf checking on Kandis.

Sharper: “And now Kandis may be hurt.”

Knots: “Nah, she's probably fine, I'm sure her knees have callouses.”

Xander nails Tommy with a spinning elbow, then an uppercut. The men are very close to the edge of the stage, and Tommy looks down, watching whee his feet are. Xander notices, and smirks. He the grabs Tommy by the throat, and looks off the edge of the stage. The camera shows an equipment table, covered in small cases, extra cameras, and a few monitors.

Sharper: “Oh no.. Xander has bad ideas!”

Knots: “Doesn't he always?”

Xander tries to lift Tommy, but Tommy pushes back. One foot slips off the edge of the stage and the crowd oohs, but Tommy manages to get himself a few steps away from the edge. Xander never lets go of his grip around Tommy's neck as he nails him in the side of the head with a forearm. He then steps closer to the edge. We hear Kandis yelling, the camera cuts to her and Olaf at the top of the ramp.

Kandis: “I'm fine dammit, look over there! Tommy!”

Olaf turns and sees the precarious position Xander has Tommy in. He immediately gets to his feet and strides over, the quickest we've seen him move yet. Just as Xander lifts Tommy in the air ready to chokeslam him off the stage, Olaf gets to them and grabs Xander's arm, pulling and turning him away from the edge. Xander lets go of Tommy and he drops to his feet, then down to a keen, rubbing his throat.

Sharper: “Olaf Erlandsson with the save!”

Knots: “And Xander is not happy with the big man, that's the second time he's stopped a chokeslam!”

Xander shoves Olaf backwards. Olaf steps back two steps, then just glares. Xander shoves him again. This time Olaf doesn't move. Xander takes a swing, but Olaf blocks it. Xander backs up, readying for some other attack, but Tommy grabs him from behind and spins him around and hits a DDT on the stage. The crowd oohs. We see Olaf back away and go back near Kandis, his job done. Xander starts to get up, his back to the end of the stage. Tommy crouches down a bit, then when Xander is halfway to his feet, Tommy runs and spears Xander. But Xander catches him, blocks it and lets out a yell as he turns and hoists him up and throws himself off, causing both to go off the stage, as a result of the Martial Bane. The crowd roars and oohs as both men go crashing through the equipment table, cases and monitors flying everywhere. Xander lands hard as Tommy hits and rolls through.

Crowd: “Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”

Sharper: “Oh my God! Tommy Valentine! They've got to both be broken in pieces!”

Knots: “Are they breathing at least?”

We see Kandis run from the stage and lean over the edge, horror and concern all over her face. Olaf goes down the ramp a bit then hops off the side, trying to get to them. Officials swarm though and block him. We see Xander stir first. He throws a piece of the table aside and turns towards Tommy. Tommy stirs, and tries to sit up but can't. Xander drags himself the foot or so required and drapes an arm over Tommy.

3!

The bells rings. The crowd murmurs, with some mixed reactions interspersed.

Phillips: “Your winner by pinfall.... Xander Valentine!”

The officials continue to hold Olaf back, and we see Kandis appear next to him, also trying to get through and not being allowed.

Sharper: “They don't call it high risk for nothing, folks. Tommy Valentine picked his spot, the only one he saw, and it cost him.”

Knots: “Xander Valentine just powered him up and got his move! And then somehow, even when it was three on one at times, to drag himself over Tommy to get the pin. I can almost guarantee though he's in just as much agony as Tommy is!”

Sharper: “And as soon as the medics get these men backstage we'll try to get you an update on their conditions as soon as we can.”

We see Kandis and Olaf looking on through the crowd, and Artemis behind them watching from a distance. Officials and medics continue to asses the scene and start to help the men up as we cut away.

We cut backstage to see Sienna Swann throwing a lamp across her locker room. She lets out a yell as she turns and grabs her bags and throws them across the room. Xiomara Diaz walks over to the camera and starts to force it out of the locker room.

Sharper: “You see there, Sienna Swann, losing it. Clearly not the result she wanted.”

Knots: “The result she wanted was Jordan Majors no longer wrestling! That wasn’t going to happen?!”

Sharper: “Well she thought about it at the end and in the process, nearly ended up in a tie. And Jordan Majors, if that match goes on any longer, I think she had it. Sienna knows that and that’s part of this.”

Knots: “Clearly she’s handling everything well!”

We then cut to the Apocalypse logo before we see a still of Glory Braddock vs. David Helms.

Sharper: “Meanwhile, one more match tonight. World Title on the line. Glory Braddock jumping to the front of the line, thanks to the Trios Tournament contract.”

Knots: “And it’s annoyed everyone, but it could be worth it.”

Sharper: “Let’s take a look at both Glory and David Helms’ paths to this point.”

A recap video plays showing the Trios Tournament 2020 win, Glory Braddock’s win of the Adrenaline Championship, David Helms’ winning the World Title and Glory Braddock’s announcement.

Glory Braddock vs. David Helms

SCW World Championship

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 grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp. She holds the SCW Adrenaline Championship proudly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a sixty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Championship! First, the challenger, from London, England, she is the British Bombshell, the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Glory Braddock!”

It's burning down, it's burning high
when ashes fall the legends rise
We burned it out oh my oh why
When ashes fall the legends rise

Throat is dry, my vision's fading
I'm paralyzed and left here waiting
Taking time just one step forward
Won't lose my mind, I'm here to stay

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 and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly...

Sharper: “Glory Braddock jumping to the front of the line. Used her Trios Tournament contract to get here.”

Knots: “Pissed a lot of people off. But you can do that with the Trios contract. And who cares if you’re World Champion!”

The arena's lights cut and the room falls into complete darkness as a buzz spreads through the crowd, the screens suddenly lighting up with one single solitary word...

"BANG!"

As the crowd react, the entire stage lights up with a brilliant white light and the opening riff of an SCW remixed version of "All I Want" by A Day To Remember hits the pa system. The crowd erupt into cheers again as they spot the silhouette of David Helms standing there, his arms held aloft and his hands throwing the Self High Five, all framed by the brilliant white light behind him.

“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”

The intro gives way to the chorus and the lyrics of said chorus flash up on the screen as Helms suddenly jumps into the air and breaks his hands apart, pyrotechnics exploding on either side of the stage as he lands and the house lights raise again as the curtains part and Lucas Knight walks out onto the stage to join Helms there. Helms proudly holds the SCW World Championship. Helms grins at the fans, soaking up the cheers before suddenly bolting towards the ring, leaving Lucas to head down after him.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Lucas Knight, making his way to the ring from Red Bank New Jersey but now fighting out of the Hollywood Hills, he is the SCW World Champion, David Helms!”

Reaching the ring, Helms jumps up and slides under the bottom rope feet first before jumping straight back to his feet and climbing straight to the middle rope of the nearest ring post. He throws his hands up into the Self High Five to another cheer before hopping down and walking towards the closest camera on the outside. He throws his hands into the Self High Five to the camera so that his face is framed by the gap in the middle of his hands. Grinning, he mouths the word "Bang!" into the camera before turning and settling back into the corner to another cheer from the fans as Lucas stands on the outside, talking to him through the ropes as Helms waits for the start of the match. The official, Aaron Demitra, comes over and Helms hands him the title. Demitra steps back and holds the title over his head. The SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. The crowd roars as Demitra hands off the title.

Sharper: “David Helms handing off his title for the first time in defense here tonight.”

Knots: “And hoping this won’t be a one and done situation. After the year he’s had and it’s had some blips and some concern, but to return to compete at this level. It’s remarkable. And he’s hoping it doesn’t end tonight.”

David and Glory look at one another and the bell sounds. The crowd roars as the two circle the ring. Glory smirks and David looks on and the two move to lock up in the middle of the ring. Glory drops down and around and into a side headlock. She pulls back and David gets her back to the ropes and fires her off. Glory bounces her off and David shoulders her down. David turns and runs into the ropes. Glory rolls toward him. David hops over and bounces off the other side. Glory steps up and David shoulders her again. Glory hits the mat and David runs into the ropes again. Glory rolls toward him, but David stops and stomps her in the back of the head. The crowd cheers as Glory rolls away and looks at David, annoyed. David walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Experience and experience in this one. David knows the early game well.”

Knots: “You know what that tells me? That tells me he’s on.”

David watches as Glory gets up and lunges and David hits an arm drag. Glory winces as David holds on. They get up to their feet and David pushes Glory into the ropes. He fires her off. She bounces off and David goes for a back elbow. Glory ducks and bounces off the other end and David jumps up and hits a dropkick. The crowd ohs and cheers as Glory hits the mat. David gets up and turns as Glory rolls to the floor. She walks around, holding her jaw. (1) The camera follows her as Demitra counts. (2) She walks around and David watches as Glory looks at the crowd. (3) She then grabs at the ropes and slowly pulls herself up. She slowly enters and David looks at her. Glory then watches and walks around. The two watch one another and again grapple.

Knots: “Glory slowed it down. But now you’re going to lock up!”

Sharper: “Glory maybe a bit of hubris here.”

Helms and Braddock push back on one another and Helms turns and wrenches the arm. Glory winces and Helms jerks on the arm. He then whips her into the corner. Helms heads after. Glory goes for a kick. Helms blocks it, catching it and then elbows her in the jaw. He then whips her across the ring and Glory hits the corner and Helms walks over and chops her in the chest. The crowd woos. He chops her again. More woos. He then grabs her and goes to whip her across again, but Glory spins out and thumbs his eye. Helms winces and Glory twirls a bit to a stop. Helms steps up and Glory quickly ducks a clothesline. Helms steps forward and turns and Glory hits a snapmare. She then pushes him down to the mat and jumps up with a knee drop to the throat.

Sharper: “Glory taking a short-cut, but that’s never bothered her!”

Knots: “Will Helms. And now right to the throat.”

Sharper: “Effective and going to cut off that breathing.”

Glory goes for the pin.

Helms kicks out. He turns and Glory grabs him by the arm. He drags him up and wrenches it before kicking out his leg. Helms drops to his knees and Glory then hits an arm twist, driving Helms face first into the mat. Helms rolls over and starts to get up and Glory walks over and elbows him in the back of the head. Helms falls to the ropes. Glory follows up with a chop. The crowd woos. He then grabs Helms and goes to whip him off, but Helms spins through and sends her in. She bounces off and Helms hits a back elbow. Glory hits the mat. She gets up and turns to Helms who lifts her up and hits a back body drop. Glory rolls over, gets to her feet and Helms kicks her in the ribs, hooks her head and hits a snap suplex. He floats over.

Knots: “The joy of experience. Why take risks you don’t need to.”

Glory gets up and Helms kicks her in the ribs. He whips her into the corner. Helms runs after, but Glory then spins through to the apron. Helms hits the corner.

Sharper: “Braddock now just keeping Helms down. On the defensive.”

Knots: “She’s won World Titles before. Just never in SCW. So she knows how to do it. Just needs to beat one of the hottest wrestlers in 2020!”

Helms gets to his feet and Glory kicks him in the ribs. She pulls him out and snapmares him before running into the ropes in front of him, bounces off and hitting a basement dropkick. She then geos for the pin.

Helms pushes her off. He sits up and Glory grabs him and locks in a reverse chinlock. The crowd boos. Helms reaches around as Glory tightens the hold. She holds on as the official checks on Helms. Helms says no and starts to turn. Glory holds on as Helms gets his knee under him. He pumps his fist trying to get the fans with him. They cheer him as he starts to get up and to his feet and Glory elbows him in the back of the head. She then runs into the ropes, bounces off and Helms suddenly lifts her up onto his shoulders. Glory struggles for a moment, before Helms throws her back with a Samoan drop.

Sharper: “Helms counters! The Samoan drop drives Glory down!”

Knots: “Glory’s fighting up though!”

Helms gets up and falls to the ropes and Glory turns and runs at him and Helms lifts her up and back drops her over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars. Glory rolls over. Helms leans on the ropes and Glory then starts to get up on the floor. Helms then runs into the far ropes, bounces off and then dives through the ropes and onto Glory on the floor. The crowd cheers. (1)

Sharper: “Helms going for a risk. You said they’d take it smart.”

Knots: “Helms did though. Glory was getting up. If you’re taking a risk, it’s now. And hell, you have the weight advantage. You hurt yourself. You can’t get dragged into the ring.”
