“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 Past, Present, Future in the middle of the ring, standing tall, with Regan Street, Josh Hudson, and Sienna Swann front and centre. The screen goes static before we see Josh Hudson looking down at the ring as Sienna Swann stands in it.

Hudson: “I think it’s time I do something else for me and that’s at Bound by Blood, I become a three time World Champion!”

Sienna looks at Hudson stunned as Sienna can be seen nailing Syren on the last edition of Breakdown. She backs away as Hudson looks at her. The screen goes static again before we cut to see the Truelove Twins and the Network attacking Trinity and Kennedy Street. This is followed by shots of Xander Valentine throwing Donovan Kayl against the steel cage on Breakdown before showing him attacking Blake Mason.

Kayl: “I hope you have a phone handy. Call your bosses, because at Bound by Blood, we’re coming for a war. On that night, five on five, elimination rules…bring Xander, bring the Trueloves, bring whoever the Beauty Network as you’re calling yourself and put out. You can try and get the job done.”

We see shots of Xander Valentine, Ikiro Yoshida, the Truelove Twins and Dante McCaffery along with the Network.

Kayl: “You can try and take out the Street Family at Bound by Blood!”

We see shot of Trinity Street, Kennedy Street, Dylan Howell, Donovan Kayl and Chris Cannon standing in the ring before showing Kennedy Street raising Dylan Howell’s arm to close Breakdown. Shots of Marie Jones costing Andrew Raynes the Adrenaline Championship follow.

Sharper: “Marie Jones! From the crowd! She just knocked Raynes off!”

We then cut to see Redemption standing on the stage as Bree Lancaster looks at Scott Burnside. A shot of Scott Burnside accidentally striking Bree follows before we see Scott rescinding his Tag Team Championship.

Bree: “You wanted me to find a partner. I have one. Andrew Raynes!”

Andrew Raynes can be seen in the ring, yelling at the crowd, before showing Andrew Raynes trying to get to James Evans as Marie Jones and Angelica Jones stand together on Breakdown. Shots of Dark Fantasy follow before showing the Street Family again, showing Regan Street throwing a tantrum backstage, before cutting to a shot of Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay standing in the ring before cutting to an abrupt shot of black.

“Bulletproof” by Godsmack plays as we see a red hue come over the screen before the Bound by Blood logo comes up on the screen.

“SCW presents…Bound by Blood!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before we open with a live shot of the inside of the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. Pyro goes off in the middle of the stage and high into the area, before going around the big screen and firing off one more time. Spotlights circle the arena as the crowd cheers. The cameras pan the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Boston as SCW brings to you a night where family is at the heart of so much tonight including the World Championship where the family that was Past, Present, Future, will be no more.”

The camera then cuts to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here at ringside with Jonathan Knots and along with Sienna Swann defending her World Championship against Josh Hudson, the Street Family comes together.”

Knots: “Comes together to face the Network and the Beauty Factory. The Beauty Network. Well, the Streets are ready. Regan Street may be upset. She’ll be watching from the sidelines. But Kennie, Trinity, Donovan, Chris and Dylan. They’re ready to go. And it’s going to be wild one.”

Andrew Raynes vs. Marie Jones

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes appear through the smoke, his head shifted towards the ring, focused, a cold stare. He stands there for a few seconds still looking around, devoid of the fans. He starts walking slowly with a cold stare in his eyes.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall…introducing first, from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada he is…Andrew Raynes!”

As he continues to look focused, he makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans. He walks down towards the ring where he slides in under the bottom rope. He pops up in the middle of the ring and looks around. He looks over at his opponent with a cold stare, sizing them up before the match even starts.

Sharper: “Lot of bad blood with this next match, folks.”

Knots: “Andrew Raynes should be pissed. His opponent cost him the Adrenaline title.”

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake"

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen….

"Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"

Phillips: ..."The Phoenix" Marie Jones!!!!!!!!!!

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans. As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes does have reasons to be angry, but you can say the same for Marie.”

Knots: “I’m not sure if that is entirely accurate or not.”

The ref calls for the bell and Raynes burst out of the corner, charging towards Marie, but Marie dunks a running clothesline. Marie then lands a few forearms to the back of the head, before landing elbow shots, staggering Raynes. Raynes manages to kick her in the abdomen before taking her down with a clothesline.

Marie rolls over onto her stomach and pushes herself up, only for Raynes to run up and kick her in the ribs. The crowd boos loudly as Raynes takes a moment to gloat. Marie manages to crawl over to the ropes and uses them to pull herself up, holding her ribs. Raynes walks up and delivers a knife edge chop, before clotheslining Marie up and over the top rope. Marie falls to the hard floor below.

Knots: “The Phoenix crashing and burning to the outside, with assistance from Andrew Raynes.”

Sharper: “Marie starting off strong, but Raynes was able to turn the tide fairly quickly, using his size to his advantage. Not to mention his mean streak.”

Raynes rolls to the outside, and the ref begins the count.

Marie pushes herself to one knee and Raynes lands a running knee. Raynes drives a knee into the chest of Marie before beginning to drive his elbow into the side of her head as the ref’s count continues.

Raynes gets up and rolls back into the ring, before rolling back out. Marie is back to one knee, but Raynes uses his foot to push her back down to the floor. Marie rolls over onto her back and Raynes grabs her leg. Raynes goes for a submission but Marie fires off with a kick to the face, stunning Raynes before she connects with a second then a third. Raynes stumbles back, shaking his head as Marie is shown getting to her feet. Raynes turns around and Marie connects with a kick to the jaw, leveling Raynes.

Ref: 6!

Sharper: “The ref’s count at 6 now after Raynes broke it the first time.”

Marie rolls into the ring and gathers her bearings. Raynes stirs on the outside.

Ref. 7! 8!

Raynes stumbles to the apron and rolls into the ring. Marie gets to her feet as Raynes pushes himself up to the one. Marie connects with a kick to the ribs then another followed by a third. Raynes rolls over onto his back, holding his ribs. Marie grabs Raynes’ arms and begins stomping on Raynes’ head, before the referee backs her down.

Knots: “Someone pissed in Marie’s Corn Flakes I believe.”

Sharper: “Marie stomping on the head of Andrew Raynes. The bad blood is real between these two and this is a match they’ve both wanted for quite some time. They are going to beat the holy hell out of one another and they are showing that right here.”

Marie gets around the ref and charges towards Raynes and goes to grab him, only for Raynes to reach up, pulling her down into an inside cradle.

Marie kicks out. Raynes gets to his feet using the ropes as Marie gets to hers, only for Raynes to charge and connect with a running big boot. Raynes then grabs Marie, lifting her up then takes a step back and goes for Thunderstruck, but Marie dunks under then grabs Raynes and drops him with a back cracker. Marie goes for a cover.

Raynes kicks out. Marie grabs Raynes off of the mat, but Raynes connects with a jawbreaker, staggering Marie. Raynes takes a step back then connects with Thunderstruck.

Sharper: “Raynes hitting that super kick on the second try.”

Raynes begins to stalk Marie who is slowly stirring, using the ropes to help her to her feet. Raynes stomps over and grabs Marie before dropping her with the Xclamation Point. Raynes the hooks the leg.

Knots: “That leaping reverse STO! Has to be all she wrote.”

The crowd begins to boo as Raynes pushes himself away from Marie and up to his feet.

Sharper: “Raynes victorious here tonight. Looking to keep that momentum going as he defends the tag titles alongside Bree Lancaster later.”

The scene opens up backstage as we see Katya, the daughter of Mr. D, SCW’s owner, arriving in the building. The crowd cheers as Katya gets through the security checkpoint.

Sharper: “That’s a bit of a surprise. Without her father who is convalescing, recovering from a concussion. She’s here and I guess she may be taking over?”

Knots: “Can she? Like, I mean…has someone approved her to take over.”

Sharper: “I don’t know. Could also just be here to watch the show. I don’t know. Justin Davis is not here, so that’s not the reason.”

Knots: “Things certainly a bit more interesting now!”

Katya walks past the camera and heads down the hallway as the camera follows her for a moment before we cut away.

The Random Superhero vs. Casterillo

“Did someone call for...A SUPERHERO?”

“I Need a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler begins to play as the iconic swoosh of a hero's keep can be heard in the background. The lights light up the entire arena as spotlights begin to spin. A white disco ball spins over the ring as The Superhero runs out from the back. He pounds his chest before throwing his arms up to the audience. Stopping at the top of the stage, he puts his left arm onto his hip before raising his right thumb up, saluting it to the cheering crowd.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from wherever he’s needed, he is The Superhero!”

Dropping both arms to his side he stands in attention before suddenly bolting down the ramp way. He slides into the ring and runs up to the corner. He has to stop and take a long break to catch his breath before climbing up onto the top turnbuckle to stand at the top before the crowd. Placing his arms to his side he beckons for the crowd to get into gear. Doing a backflip off of the top rope he turns and scans the ring.

Sharper: “Well we’ve seen this individual attacking particularly nefarious or arrogant individuals.”

Knots: “So Casterillo and Allocco?”

Sharper: “Yeah.”

Knots: “He’s got a hell of a name. Clearly a lot of thought.”

Sharper: “Whoever it is, they’ve been attacking, leaving their gear in a trash-can, almost so they can’t be followed. And whoever it was paid someone to attack Casterillo in England.”

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for several seconds. A single lightning strike strikes on the big screen. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine. The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He immediately springs right into action.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Parts Unknown, Casterillo!”

Sharper: “Casterillo is here and ready.”

Knots: “You just wonder if that woman we saw him with at Breakdown is in his head. Personal issues there. Professional ones with the Superhero.”

Casterillo glares at the Superhero who steps forward and gives a thumbs up. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Casterillo lunges at the Superhero as he backs up to the corner. Casterillo nails him with a hard right to the ribs and then a left to the jaw and then another hard right to the ribs before kicking him in the ribs. He grabs him by the mask and looks down at him before spinning him around and driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. The hero stumbles back and Casterillo nails him with a hard right. The Superhero hits the mat and rolls over.

Sharper: “Casterillo coming out with pure aggression. Hard shots and this Superhero just overwhelmed early.”

Knots: “Not just that, but may be half out already.”

The Superhero starts to get up and Casterillo follows up with a hard right and he falls back into the corner. Casterillo grabs him and whips him across as the crowd boos. Casterillo runs after and nails him with a running splash. The Superhero stumbles out and Casterillo forces him to the mat before diving onto him for the pin.

The Superhero kicks out. She turns and Casterillo grabs him by the mask. He starts to pull on it, trying to pull it off, but the Superhero rolls back and kicks Casterillo in the face. Casterillo stumbles back. The hero gets up and Casterillo moves in and goes for a hard right, but the Superhero blocks it and nails him with a hard right and then a chop. The crowd woos. Casterillo angrily goes for a hard right, but the hero ducks and hits a jawbreaker. Casterillo falls to the corner. The hero gets up and jumps onto his thighs, gives a thumbs up, getting a roar from the crowd before the Superhero hits a monkey flip.

Sharper: “And this Superhero takes Casterillo down, sending him overhead.”

Knots: “That’s not going to make Casterillo happy. Even got the thumbs up in there!”

Casterillo rolls over and gets up, glaring as the Superhero runs over and hits a running high knee to the jaw. Casterillo hits the mat. The Superhero goes for the pin, giving a thumbs up to the crowd and main camera.

Casterillo pushes him off. He gets up and the Superhero turns as Casterillo kicks him in the ribs and then backs up and boots him in the head. The Superhero falls over as the crowd boos. Casterillo follows up and stomps him in the chest and then again and again and again. The superhero rolls to the apron. The boos continue to rain down for Casterillo.

Sharper: “Casterillo showing he’s not appreciating the efforts of his opponent.”

Knots: “Well if you had someone giving a cheesy thumbs up every twelve seconds, you’d be pissed too. It’s fifteen seconds. That’s threshold for sportsmanship!”

Casterillo reaches through the ropes and grabs the Superhero’s head and pulls him up. He pulls on the mask again before the hero hits a guillotine drop on the top rope. Casterillo stumbles back and the superhero turns and climbs to the top rope. He dives off and hits a crossbody into a pin.

Casterillo kicks out. The superhero rolls off and both men get up and the Superhero ducks a clothesline attempt from Casterillo. He grabs him from behind and hoists him up before hitting a traditional atomic drop. The crowd roars and Casterillo falls into the ropes and looks behind him. The Superhero spins around and gives him a thumb up to his face again. Casterillo then lunges and goes for a Thunder run. The superhero ducks and spins around and grabs him and hits a small package.

Sharper: “The Superhero rolls up Casterillo! Inside cradle!”

Knots: “He’s just pissing him right off!”

Casterillo kicks out. Both get up and Casterillo drills the Superhero with a spear. The crowd ohs and boos. Casterillo then mounts him and nails him with a series of hard clubbing blows to the side of the head, driving his forearms against his head. The superhero covers up as the referee calls for the break. Casterillo then gets up and walks around as the crowd boos. The Superhero stirs and starts to get up and Casterillo then steps up and boots him in the head. He drops down for the pin.

The superhero kicks out again. Casterillo looks down at him before grabbing him by the mask. He then knees him in the ribs before pulling on the mask. He struggles with it before jerking it off and suddenly, pulls it off. The crowd roars before we see another, slimmer mask underneath. Casterillo lunges and the superhero ducks before running into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a spinning heel kick, knocking Casterillo down.

Sharper: “Casterillo tried to take his mask, but he was ready.”

Knots: “He took it off of that paid person in London. He expected it tonight too!”

Sharper: “And takes advantage! Spinning heel kick!”

The Superhero gets up and moves to the corner. Casterillo rolls over, holding his jaw. He grimaces in pain and staggers to his feet before we see the Superhero run out and jump up, nailing him with the Heroes Punch. Casterillo hits the mat. The crowd ohs. The Superhero then turns and steps over to Casterillo’s head. He then gives another thumbs up as the crowd roars. He runs into the ropes, he bounces off and jumps over Casterillo. He bounces off the other side and hits the Heroes Elbow! He hooks the leg.

Casterillo kicks out. Both men get up and Casterillo angrily drills the Superhero with the Thunder Run. The crowd ohs and boos.

Sharper: “Casterillo damn near takes off the hero’s head!”

Knots: “Well you poke the Casterillo long enough, he’s going to swat you down.”

Casterillo pulls himself up. He turns around and grabs the Superhero by the head and pulls him up and places his head between his legs. He then hoists him up and hits the Trial by Fire. He stays down for the pin.

The Superhero gets his shoulder up. He rolls over as Casterillo turns to him and looks at him. He then starts to get up, not removing his eyes from him. Casterillo walks over and grabs the Superhero by the mask and jerks him up. He then knees him in the ribs. He goes to pull the second mask off the Superhero and the Superhero grabs onto the bottom of it and then falls back and pulls Casterillo forward with a roll-up.

The crowd roars and Casterillo rolls over as the hero jumps up and rolls out of the ring. He throws his arm up.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, the Superhero!”

Sharper: “This masked man, the Superhero, he just rolled up Casterillo! Too focused on unmasking him.”

Knots: “Unmasking and brutalizing him and this hero rolled him out. Out-technified him!”

Sharper: “Look at the look on Casterillo’s face. He is not pleased!”

Casterillo gets up, glaring at the hero as the Superhero has his arm raised. The crowd cheers. He then looks around and gives a thumbs up as a woosh comes over the soundsystem. The Superhero then turns and runs to the back.

Backstage we see Bree Lancaster talking to Scott Burnside backstage as we then see her glance off camera and look in disgust.

Bree: “Excuse me? We’re having a conversation.”

The camera pans out to see Cookie and Derek Adonis standing there. The crowd cheers.

Cookie: “I think she would work.”

Bree: “What?”

Derek: “Greetings. My name is Derek Adonis…you may know me from such products as the KABLAMA Sutra, the KABLAMaerobics, KABLAMopoly, the sensual game of investing-“

Bree: “I know who you are Derek. I find you repulsive.”

Derek: “Well, that’s odd. We find you attractive. See what we did-“

Bree rolls her eyes.

Derek: “More that Cookie and I are looking for a new endorsement and given your recent advertisement, well…uh…we think you would be perfect for KABLAM products.”

Bree: “What? That…”

Cookie: “That advert was along the lines of-“

Bree: “Get the hell out of my face!”

Derek: “Thank you for your time.”

Bree: “Leave!”

Scott just looks on as Derek and Cookie walk off as the scene cuts away.

Slayter McKinney vs. Sam Raine

The arena’s lights cut and as the room falls into complete and utter darkness a buzz starts to spread through the crowd. The lights start to flash in a sequence that resembles lightning. Another moment passes and as the sound of rain fills the air while white and blue confetti starts falling on both sides of the entrance way. The sound of the rain is broken up momentarily as the voice of Samantha Raine is heard.

“Raining on your parade.”

As the crowd start to react, the sounds of Firefly's “Unbreakable” starts to play through the arena. The crowd cheers s as the small silhouette of Samantha makes her way onto the stage, but she isn’t alone. There is another silhouette behind her clapping his hands. Sam along with the man that can now be identified as Woody Hoyt start to make their way down to the ring.

Phillips: “Introducing first, making her way to the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, being accompanied to the ring by Woody Hoyt, Samantha Raine!”

Before they start actually making their way down to the ring, Sam raises both of her hands up to her lips and kisses them, bending over towards the fans she acts like she is blowing kisses to everyone in attendance. As they reach the ring, Woody jumps up onto the apron while Sam walks up the ring stairs. He holds the ropes open so that she can climb in to the ring. Woody hops off the apron as Sam goes to the nearest turnbuckle. Which she climbs to the top and once again blows kisses to everyone in the arena.

Sharper: “An interesting match up to say the least, two up and coming superstars battling it out here in what is a great opportunity to elevate themselves up the ladder.”

Knots: “Both of these ladies are technically gifted to say the least. Could be a sleeper here tonight.”

The opening salvo of struck and sustained notes of “What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out” by Gang Of Youths kicks in and the lights flash on and off in time. Slayter McKinney comes out with an arm raised, her back to the crowd, nodding her head in time with the struck notes and drum slams before the uptempo drums kick in and she makes her way down the ramp, with a hop in each energetic step, slapping hands with the fans on the way.

Phillips: “And her opponent, making her way from Yorkshire, United Kingdom, Slayter McKinney!”

Reaching the ring she rolls up on to the ring apron on her knees, gripping the rope and climbing to her feet before doing a quick, on-beat turn to the crowd. She steps in under the middle rope and climbs up the corner turnbuckle for one last pop from the crowd before leaping down, warming up and preparing in her corner for her opponent. The referee checks with both of them briefly before turning to not to the timetable, signaling for the bell. The match is immediately set into motion as Samantha and Slayter lock up center in the ring. Slayter slowly starts to push Samantha back before Samantha drops down to one knee, going for a double leg takedown. Slayter keeps her balance and goes to hook Samantha’s leg. She pulls her back and appears to be going for a fisherman suplex, Samantha drives her elbow into Slayter’s side repeatedly to break the hold. She spins and delivers a hard forearm to the jaw that knocks Slayter back before diving and this time taking Slayter down with a double leg takedown. She falls forward over Slayter before locking in a side headlock. Slayter spins on the mat before pushing herself up to her feet, pulling Samantha up to her boots with her. She shoves Samantha off and into the ropes. She manages to take several steps forward preparing to catch her as she comes back but Samantha counters with a spinning wheel kick.

Sharper: “Both competitors showing an excellent form, however twice now Slayter has been taken off guard. She has seemingly been having issues lately, being distracted even.”

Knots: “Troubling sign maybe. Maybe the pressure is getting to her. Maybe there is something else wrong with her, who knows?!”

Samantha pulls Slayter back up to her feet and connects with several quick body shots, before grabbing her by the arm and irish whipping her into the ropes. Samantha catches her on the return with a release Northern Lights suplex. Kip flipping back to her feet she turns and immediately connects with a leg drop. She goes to pull Slayter back to her feet, Slayter dropping back to one knee before coming up with a stiff uppercut to the jaw. Samantha falls back hard into the ropes. She steps forward while swinging her arm to go for a heymaker. Slayter ducks it as Samantha goes ahead of her. Slayter immediately turns and hooks her arms from behind before throwing her overhead with a Tiger suplex. The crowd oh’s as Samantha rolls over clutching the back of her head. She stands immediately up only to get a kick to the gut. Slayter tries going for a DDT, Samantha grabbing a hold of her leg before flipping her over with a Dragon screw. Grabbing a hold of Slayter’s leg she leaps over and pins her down with a jackknife pin!

Slayter’s gets one shoulder after the other off of the mat, breaking the pin. Rolling over she stands up and goes for a knee to the face of Samantha. She side steps around and wraps an arm around Slayter’s neck from behind, dropping her with a reverse neckbreaker. Samantha turns and goes for an inside cradle on the mat. Slayter rolls over, preventing the pin. She quickly steps up before tossing Samantha over with a judo slam to the mat. Samantha bounces back up before being flipped over with a snapmare. Samantha stands and stops Slayter’s momentum with a kick to the gut followed by a headscissor takedown. She goes to lock on an armbar on the ground, Slayter flipping over to break the hold before getting to her feet. Samantha twists her arm and goes for a standing clothesline while pulling Slayter into her. Slayter ducks the maneuver before leaping up onto Samantha’s shoulders. Slayter leans back as Samantha falls forward, losing her balance. Slayter hits the top rope and flips Samantha over the apron with a hurricanrana. The crowd oh’s as Samantha crashes hard to the floor doing a complete flip in mid air first, before hitting hard. Slayter slaps her head hard across the edge of the ring before crumbling to the floor.

Sharper: “Oh my God, that just looked like a pure accident altogether! Both of them look to be out of it!”

Knots: “Slayter clipped the ring, she could have a concussion. May want to get some people coming down early to make sure they’re fine to continue.”

The referee continues counting in the ring as Samantha slowly tries to stir. Slayter slowly begins to move, clutching her head.

Samantha slowly gets to her feet first, she turns and realizes the referee has almost hit a count of ten. She grabs at her back but slowly starts to make her way toward the ring to slide in.

Slayter catches her by the boot and yanks Samantha backwards before locking her arms looking to be going for another tiger suplex.

10!

Samantha blocks the maneuver, before breaking the hold as the referee calls for the bell. The crowd boos as Slayter releases Samantha, seemingly gathering her composure.

Phillips: “Due to a double count out, this match is a draw!”

Slayter turns away clearly frustrated as Samantha looks down and around, clearly not pleased either. Slayter turns to her and appears to be trying to take responsibility. Samantha shrugs it off and turns to leave.

Sharper: “Doesn’t appear like this was intentional at all on Slayter’s part, regardless this match had an unfortunate conclusion.”

Knots: “Something is off and I’m getting worried. This is turning into a habit.”

Jessica Winters is backstage in the locker room area. Next to her is Ravyn Taylor, holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship. The crowd boos seeing her.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here with the SCW Adrenaline Champion, Ravyn Taylor, and later tonight, you defend your title against Dawn Lohan-“

Ravyn: “Now, now…that’s interesting and important, but you know me? Is that really enough?”

Jessica: “Excuse me?”

Ravyn: “Is it enough? Let us talk about the proverbial elephant in the room. Abigail Lindsay. She has been trying to, and failing, to get my attention. But I can change that. See, I know my Adrenaline Title is on the line. That’s thrilling, I’m sure, for SCW, for Dawn, these fans. But I think we should make it a bit more higher stakes. And its simple…Abigail Lindsay needs to try harder…at this point. But…”

Ravyn pauses for a moment.

Ravyn: “How about this, Dawn. If you can take this title from me, that’s a big win for you. I don’t have an intention of allowing that to happen. Just like this, but at least you can claim some moral victory too. If you beat me, I’ll give Abigail Lindsay my undivided attention. But when I win, I’ll just continue to ignore you.”

Ravyn smirks.

Ravyn: “I realize that you probably wanted your singles run to be big…well, let’s put it all on the line. I, personally, feel you were better in the tag division. Watching you and Abigail compete…that was a thrill. Quoth the Ravyn…Nevermore.”

Ravyn chuckles a bit and walks off as Jessica watches her leave and we cut away.

Scarlet Grey vs. Liane Forte

Jonathan Knots is standing in the middle of the ring as the fans are buzzing in anticipation, though it’s clear Knots looks a bit nervous about what he’s about to get involved in for several likely reasons.

Knots: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been asked to be the master of ceremonies for what’s coming up next, and I want to make something clear before we begin: I know there was a time when I might’ve enjoyed what we’re about to see, but I’d like to remind everyone that I’m a happily married man now. That aside, I also don’t fully agree with the circumstances behind what’s about to happen, but it’s going to happen anyway. SCW may have changed its stance on this idea quite a bit lately, but we’re still going to present to you all this evening… a bikini contest!”

There’s quite a bit of cheering, though a few boos can be audibly heard in the noise. Whether or not that’s people disagreeing with this idea or simply showing their own disdain for the circumstances that led us here is up for debate.

Knots: “So without further ado, let’s get this thing started with our first contestant… Scarlet Grey!”

Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix) begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey in a red silk robe, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp. She even pauses every now and then, teasing an early reveal of what she’s got on underneath. She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman.

Sharper: “I still can’t believe the audacity of this woman, all because she’s become obsessed with trying to gain the affections of Aaron Blackbourne by any means necessary. I hope she’s proud of herself for everything she’s done up to this point, including getting this contest greenlit.”

Scarlet moves to take her place beside Knots, even leaning over and giving him a wink, to which he just shuffles away a bit for some extra space before she tries anything that might get him into trouble.

Knots: “And now for her opponent this evening… Liane Forte!”

The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear. There’s notably no extra features tonight, though when the lyrics kick in the Tron still comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. Liane Forte slowly walks out from the back in a yellow silk robe, looking noticeably uncomfortable at what she’s about to do before a worldwide audience. Her boyfriend, Aaron Blackbourne, walks out in street clothes and takes her hand in his, saying something to her that ends with a kiss that looks like it’s got her in gear now as the two begin making their way down the ramp to the cheers of the fans as Scarlet looks on bitterly.

Sharper: “I feel bad for this young lady. She’s been allowed backstage access at the request of her boyfriend for support which is something SCW officials have afforded others in the past, and she found herself caught up in this because Scarlet just doesn’t want to actually believe Aaron’s facts that he’s already happily in a relationship. Despite that, she agreed to face Scarlet tonight to put an end to this madness, but the look on her face makes it clear she wasn’t expecting to have to do this.”

Blackbourne hops up onto the apron and holds the ropes open so Liane can carefully enter. Scarlet motions for him to enter as well, but Aaron just shoots her an annoyed glare and hops off the apron, but sticks around at ringside just in case while Liane takes her spot on the other side of Knots.

Knots: “Alright ladies, before we begin I’ve been asked to remind you of the stakes for this contest. If Scarlet wins, she gets one guaranteed date with Aaron Blackbourne no matter what. If Liane wins, however, then Scarlet will have to leave the two of them alone.”

Scarlet suddenly reaches in and grabs Knots’ arm, pulling the mic over to her as she smirks at Liane.

Scarlet: “Don’t forget that you still have time to forfeit, little girl, and I can start preparing for my date sooner. After all, it’s not like you’ve got any hope against this.”

Scarlet steps forward, electing to go first as Knots kind of brushes off his arm when she’s not looking. She nods to the back before some sensual sounding music proceeds to play as she slowly undoes her robe, purposely trying to tease everyone for her own amusement as Liane just glares at her. Finally she allows it to slide off her body, revealing a ruby red metallic thong bikini that’s not as skimpy as she could’ve gone for SCW’s sake, but still pretty revealing. She takes her time strutting around the ring, making a show out of shaking her assets and trying to provide close-ups of her chest and rear whenever she’s near the side of the ring where the camera is. There’s cheers from the fans for the sight, but it’s notably not the roof-destroying volume you might’ve expected for someone dressed like this. Scarlet also takes a moment to start sensually crawling along the mat until her upper body’s gone underneath the bottom rope close to where Blackbourne is standing, noticeably trying to use her chest to lure him in. Aaron quickly takes a few steps back before turning away from her as Liane can be seen protesting this to Knots, and just as Scarlet starts trying to reach out to grab him…

Knots: “Your time’s up Scarlet, and you’ve made your point loud and clear.”

The music abruptly ends as Scarlet stands back up with a pout before returning to her spot, trying to convince Knots that she needed a little more time, but thankfully he ignores her and turns to Liane.

Knots: “I apologize to both you and your boyfriend that I have to say this, but… you’re up Liane.”

Liane sighs and takes a few steps forward as the sensual music hits again, which clearly isn’t sitting well with her. She starts slowly untying her robe, but it’s clear she’s hesitant to actually go through with this now. The music fades out almost in acknowledgment of this, but this is when Scarlet leans on Knots to speak into the mic again.

Scarlet: “Just as I thought… you know you don’t measure up, so Aaron deserves a real woman with a real body.”

This actually gets some boos as Knots quickly pushes himself away from Scarlet, who just stares at him as though she’s expecting to be announced as the winner right now. Liane grits her teeth and shoots Scarlet a glare before taking a deep breath, the music coming back on as she closes her eyes and undoes the robe before carefully taking it off. Underneath is a yellow bikini with a pink flower pattern along the edges, only revealing a small amount of her assets compared to Scarlet’s but it’s noticeably very form-fitting and seems to work with her figure to accentuate what’s necessary while remaining modest. She carefully drops her robe near where Aaron’s standing so he can retrieve it before she walks around a bit in her best runway model fashion despite the very clear blush on her cheeks. Despite this, the fans are cheering her on and Aaron is noticeably entranced by this sight, which all doesn’t go unnoticed by a very annoyed Scarlet. The only thing Liane does that’s anywhere remotely close to Scarlet’s display is grabbing the ropes and kneeling down a bit, and while it does give the fans a chance to appreciate the curve of her figure her main intent is to grab a kiss from a somewhat flustered Blackbourne that seems to give them both some confidence before she stands back up and returns to her place besides Knots as the music ends, the fans applauding her along with a blushing but grinning Aaron.

Knots: “Alright, now as much as I know a lot of you don’t agree with this and I wouldn’t blame you these days, we still need your help to decide a winner. So-”

Knots is cut off as Scarlet goes for the microphone again, and he simply hands it to her to avoid any more contact that might get him in trouble even if he clearly doesn’t want any part of it.

Scarlet: “Before you make your decision, I want to remind you all that this is a BIKINI contest. That means put aside your personal opinions and focus only on the bikinis, and more importantly, who wore it better.”

She tosses the mic back to Knots before taking a moment to run her hands along her body as Liane just rolls her eyes. When she starts moving them towards her rear, she bends over trying to get Aaron to take a good look at her chest, the camera faintly picking up her saying that he can expect that and a whole lot more on their date. Aaron just shakes his head, clearly wanting no further part of these games. Liane politely asks for the mic and Knots hands it to her.

Liane: “For someone so confident in what they say they’ve got, you’re trying way too hard to sucker people into this booby trap of yours.”

The fans can’t help but cheer and laugh as Liane just grins while handing the mic back to Knots, happy to indulge in her true passion despite the circumstances. Scarlet tries to brush this off as she returns to her spot and Knots holds up his left arm and points to Scarlet.

Knots: “Alright everyone, let me hear you if you believe Scarlet is the winner!”

Scarlet poses sensually as she gets a fairly decent reaction, but her lips curl into a scowl as it’s clearly not what she was expecting even after her last second ‘reminder.’ Knots then holds up his right arm and points to Liane.

Knots: “How about if you believe Liane is the winner!”

There’s an almost deafening roar of approval as Liane takes a bow like she just finished a comedy routine on stage. Scarlet is looking around in absolute disbelief at this turn of events.

Knots: “Well, I think it’s clear that our winner is Li-”

Before Knots can finish the official announcement, Scarlet suddenly lunges over and drills Liane with a sucker punch! This gets the fans booing full force at her as she grabs the downed Liane and applies the Fifty Shades of Grey! She screams for Knots to give her the mic as he hesitantly leans down so she can speak into it. Blackbourne has started sliding into the ring at this point, but stops when Scarlet starts speaking as she cranks back to temporarily apply more pressure, the microphone catching Liane’s scream as a result.

Scarlet: “Stop right there Aaron! You don’t get it… none of you do! It should be absolutely clear right now who the superior woman is here and who’s the better fit for him, but all of you are either blind or distracted by misplaced feelings! Jonny dear, if you could take a moment to stop imagining how much better your life would be if I replaced that lackluster Kennedy chick in the bedroom, please declare me the winner. Otherwise, I promise you all Liane won’t look so hot when she’s confined to a hospital bed!”

Sharper: “Give me a break! Opinions on this whole thing even happening aside, it’s clear she lost and she’s trying to threaten her way into getting that date! If Aaron Blackbourne wanted nothing to do with her before, he sure as hell won’t while she’s threatening to hurt his actual girlfriend!”

The fans are jeering relentlessly as Knots looks terrified, glancing over to meet Blackbourne’s gaze as he’s very clearly concerned, especially as any slight motion to try and break this up sees Scarlet very slightly crank back more as she threatens to break Liane’s arms with the crucifix portion of the hold if he tries anything. As Liane looks like she starting to lose consciousness, Knots mouths an apology to Aaron before taking a deep breath.

Knots: “...the winner of the bikini contest is Scarlet Grey.”

The crowd rains down a tidal wave of boos towards this turn of events as Scarlet releases the Fifty Shades of Grey, and as Blackbourne goes to make her pay she immediately scurries out of the ring and heads towards the ramp as he gives her the most venomous glare we’ve ever seen from him. Scarlet seems unfazed by it as she just smiles, the camera closest to her catching her trying to tell him over the jeers that she can’t wait to have fun on their date before she starts heading to the back, swaying her hips in hopes that his eyes will be drawn to her rear as she leaves. Aaron’s attention, however, has long since turned to his girlfriend as Knots assists him in trying to help her out of the ring.

Sharper: “Just when I thought Scarlet couldn’t sink any lower with this contest as a whole, she had to pull this stunt. She may have the date she wanted and honestly doesn’t deserve, but she should also be expecting some repercussions for this. Let me remind those watching at home that Liane is, in no way, a member of the SCW roster and since this wasn’t an actual match, she never signed any official waiver regarding physical contact.”

Liane starts to come around as Aaron lifts her bridal-style in his arms and starts carrying her to the back, telling her about what happened while clearly looking disgusted over it. Knots returns to the announce table noticeably shaken.

Knots: “Before we move on from what just happened, I can’t apologize to Aaron enough for how tied my hands were there. Liane’s not a wrestler and didn’t deserve any of what just happened, and actually being that close to her… Sharper, I can say without a shred of doubt that Scarlet Grey is a woman who needs some serious help.”

The scene opens up backstage as we see Katya talking with a man in a suit. They seem to be going over some paperwork.

Sharper: “There you see Katya. The boss’s youngest daughter. She arrived, but we’re told she’s been meeting with some SCW officials.”

Knots: “Going over paperwork? Maybe they’re doing something about Davis? They should about Scarlet.”

Sharper: “It was partially her idea to allow it to go though. This whole situation.”

Knots: “True…I don’t know what to think. I mean, she’s in her early twenties. She’s way over her head if this is what she’s doing.”

The camera continues to film that for a few moments.

The scene switches to show Slayter McKinney stepping out of her locker room, clearly emotional as Konrad Raab catches her.

Konrad: “Slayter!”

Slayter stops and wipes her eyes quickly before turning.

Konrad: “Everything okay?”

Slayter: “It’ll be fine…It’ll be fine.”

Konrad: “Are you sure? You looked off out there and now…”

Slayter: “Now, it’s nothing. Out there. Just nerves I guess. I’ll figure it out.”

Konrad: “I hope so. You’ve inspired me with what you’ve done. And I’d hate to see you stumble too hard. If you need any help, I’ve seen it all.”

Slayter nods.

Slayter: “Thanks…thanks.”

Slayter turns and heads off as the scene cuts back to the ring.

Katie Steward vs. Bianca Evans

Tiara on a Pole Match

The scene opens up with a shot of the pole attached to one corner of the ring with Katie’s tiara hanging off of it.

Sharper: “There you see the crown that represents Katie’s goddessness. She’s had that for years. Bianca Evans wants to take it from her.”

Knots: “And this is going to be fight.”

Sharper: “The crown needs to be pulled down. Otherwise, anything else goes.”

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

Phillips: “The following contest is the Tiara on a Pole match. First, accompanied by Ophelia von Aaron, from Heaven, she is God’s Wife, Bianca Evans!”

Bianca walks to the ring looking disgusted. Ophelia follows a few feet behind her. Bianca then slides under the bottom rope crawling before then bolting to the top rope. She screams as she throws her head back her mane of dark brown hair flying in a fluid motion as she jumps off the rope while the camera focus on her. She takes off her coat and throws it at Ophelia. She then looks at the tiara and smiles as she turns around and looks at the entrance way.

Sharper: “Bianca Evans looking at that tiara.”

Knots: “I’m surprised she’s waiting for Katie.”

Sharper: “She wants to also hurt Katie. This match gives her everything she wants.”

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

“The Real Thing” plays throughout the arena as Katie’s video plays on the screen. The crowd jumps to their feet giving her cheers. After a few moments Katie Steward walks out on the stage wearing her glorious white and gold ring robe. She looks down at the ring and at the tiara. She slowly walks across the stage to the ramp with TJ Johnson in tow. Katie stands at the top of the stage and does her pose for the crowd.

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

After a few seconds of the sending her love to the crowd, she continues her way down the entrance way. TJ runs head and jumps on the apron. Katie walks around ringside and steps up the ring steps onto the apron and enters the ring while TJ holds the ropes for her. She walks to the middle of the ring and undoes her belt taking off her robe for the crowd. She hands her robe off to TJ and turns to Bianca who keeps eying her.

Sharper: “Bianca Evans has not taken her eyes off of Katie Steward.”

Knots: “Didn’t even go after TJ just to get in her head. She’s focused. Laser focused.”

Sharper: “And Katie looks to be too. Less posing.”

Bianca and Katie look at one another as the referee turns and calls for the bell. TJ hops down and the bells sounds. Bianca steps up and just starts to yell in the face of Katie. Katie just looks at her as Bianca tears her a new one before she rears back and spits on Katie. Katie turns away as the crowd ohs. Katie then turns back and nails Bianca with a hard forearm. Bianca staggers back and Katie nails her with another hard forearm and then a third one and Bianca falls back through the ropes to the floor as the crowd roars. Katie steps through the ropes and grabs Bianca before pulling her up by her hair and turning and spinning her around before hitting a hair-pull throw over the announce table and just missing Jonathan Knots.

Knots: “Jesus!”

Sharper: “Over our table! Katie Steward has snapped!”

Katie climbs onto the table and then moves over to Bianca and nails her with a series of hard forearm shots. Ophelia runs over and tries to stop Katie and Katie gets up and walks toward her and nails her with a forearm shot. The crowd roars. Bianca crawls out and Katie turns back and kicks her in the chest as she does. Bianca gets up and Katie grabs her and hip throws her onto the mats. Katie turns and heads over to Bianca and Bianca starts to get up and Katie grabs her only for Bianca to grab her by the head and run her face first into the steel steps. The crowd ohs and Katie falls over, holding her face in pain. Bianca then gets up and looks at her before stomping her in the face and then again.

Sharper: “Bianca using the steps to get control as Katie Steward was going right after her.’

Knots: “Even took down her mother and Bianca doesn’t give a damn.”

Bianca turns and grabs Katie and moves her toward the steel steps, throwing her down next to them. Bianca steps over them and turns and looks at Katie as she starts to get up and turns and dropkicks the steel steps, causing them to go into Katie’s head. Katie falls over and rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Bianca dropkicking the steps into the head of Katie!”

Knots: “Both using their head on that one.”

Katie starts to pull herself up and Bianca steps over the steel steps. She runs over and clubs her in the back. She then turns and runs her toward the barricade, even stepping over her own mother, before throwing her back first into it. Katie winces and falls over. The crowd ohs. Bianca then walks over and grabs the barricade and uses it to hold on as she stomps Katie in the face before starting to choke her with her boot. The crowd boos as Katie struggles. TJ stands a few feet away, snapping at Bianca. Bianca then steps off and walks over toward him. TJ backs up, looking around as Katie starts to pull herself up. Bianca then reaches over and grabs him. Katie then runs up behind Bianca and nails her with a forearm to the back of her head and she falls over and into the ringpost. Bianca hits it before rolling down the steel steps to the mats. TJ turns and checks on Katie as Katie turns and checks on him before turning and heading after Bianca.

Sharper: “Katie saving TJ Johnson.”

Knots: “A couple of months ago, she sent him to get his ass kicked. Things have changed. Katie Steward has realized what is going on and she’s not screwing around!”

Katie walks over and grabs Bianca and pulls her up before running her face first into the steel steps. Bianca stumbles back and Katie turns and rolls her into the ring. Bianca rolls over and Katie slides in. Katie gets up as Bianca does and Katie dropkicks Bianca back down. Bianca hits the mat and Katie moves over and hits a leg drop to the head of Bianca. The crowd cheers. She rolls over and Katie turns and moves around to her legs. The crowd continues to cheer as she pulls Bianca’s legs up and she steps through, trying to go for a sharpshooter. Bianca fights it off and gets her leg free before she boos Katie in the face and then again. Katie falls to a knee. Bianca then measures her foot to Katie faces and kicks her hard a third time and Katie falls back. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Bianca making each of those kicks count as Katie was looking to put Bianca into the sharpshooter.”

Knots: “Bianca the sharpshooter on that one. Targeting all of those kicks.”

Katie grabs at the ropes and starts to get up and Bianca turns and pulls her back and throws her back with a mat slam. The crowd ohs and Katie turns and rolls over, holding her head and neck in pain. She starts to slowly get up and Bianca watches her and lunges and hits the B-Trigger. The crowd ohs and Katie just falls back into the corner. Bianca then looks at the tiara before noticing Katie is directly across from the corner with the pole. Bianca turns to Katie.

Bianca: “Time to end your charade! I’m the only Goddess here Katie!”

Bianca walks across the ring and over to the corner with the pole. The crowd boos as Katie starts to pull herself up. Bianca climbs up the corner and gets to the second turnbuckle. Bianca grabs the pole before Katie runs across and jumps up and nails Bianca in the back. Bianca winces and Katie turns around and grabs her by the head. She pulls her back and hits a neckbreaker. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Katie pulls Bianca down. Neckbreaker drives her down to the mat.”

Knots: “Not what is she doing?”

Katie turns and presses up onto her hands and does the break-dance leg drop to the head of Bianca. The crowd roars as Katie rolls over. Bianca turns, holding her face. She starts to get up and Katie then grabs her and pulls her up before hitting a Hair-Flip DDT. The crowd cheers. Katie rolls over. She then turns and looks at the corner before getting up and climbing up the turnbuckle. The crowd cheers as she climbs up to the top turnbuckle and grabs at the pole. She reaches up as the crowd cheers, but just then, Bianca gets up and runs over and pushes Katie’s legs out from under her. She lands hard on the top turnbuckle. Bianca then watches her as she leans back. Bianca then pulls back on her head before jumping up with a B-Trigger. The crowd ohs and Katie nearly falls down in the tree of woe.

Sharper: “On my God! The B-Trigger to the back of the head.”

Knots: “And Katie may not be okay after that. She’s trying to get back up.”

Katie reaches up, trying to pull herself back up and Bianca jumps to the middle rope and then jumps up and hits a double stomp to the chest of Katie. Katie falls to the mat as Bianca crashes down too. The crowd ohs and boos as Katie rolls over in pain. Bianca then smiles as she looks at the tiara. She then steps over Katie and starts to climb up the turnbuckle. The crowd boos as Bianca steps up to the middle rope and then to the top turnbuckle. She grabs at the pole and reaches up. She brings her arm back down, looking to rebalance before reaching up and touching the tiara. Katie however pulls herself up. The crowd roars as Bianca glances back and sees this. Katie however climbs up and clubs her in the lower back. She clubs her again. The crowd roars as Bianca grabs her by the hair and pulls her up to the top rope. Bianca then looks at Katie as she keeps pulling on her hair and Katie then forearms Bianca in the ribs before grabbing her and then hitting a Russian leg sweep off the top rope and back into the ring. The crowd roars and cheers.

Sharper: “Katie sacrificing herself to take Bianca down!”

Knots: “Both crashing hard but Bianca had her fingers on the tiara! Katie knew it!”

Sharper: “She’s not going to give her the satisfaction of victory without making sure she can’t get up!”

Katie rolls over and starts to move away from Bianca. Bianca rolls over in the opposite direction. She starts to stir. Katie manages to stagger up to her feet and Bianca starts to get up. She turns around to Katie and Katie suddenly nails her with the Most Beautiful Superkick Ever. Bianca falls back into the corner. Katie then staggers toward the corner with the pole. She then starts to climb up again. The crowd cheers as Katie makes her way up. TJ looks on as Ophelia does for Bianca and Bianca then staggers toward Katie. TJ warns Katie and Katie glances back on the top rope and Bianca steps forward only for Katie to hits a praying moonsault into her. The crowd cheers again. Katie rolls over. She then looks around.

Sharper: “Assist to TJ Johnson! Katie hits the moonsault and stops Bianca from interrupting!”

Knots: “Now she can go up again!”

Katie then walks to the corner. The crowd cheers her as she starts to climb up the turnbuckle and getting to the top rope. Bianca starts to stir as the crowd cheers. Katie gets to the top and looks up at the tiara. She grabs at the pole and starts to reach up. The tiara is out of reach. Bianca pulls herself up as Katie touches the tiara. Bianca then runs over and jumps up to the middle turnbuckle. She grabs Katie and nails her in the lower back and then again. She then hooks her up and throws her back with a back superplex. The crowd ohs and Katie rolls over to her stomach. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Bianca pulls Katie down from the back. She hits hard too, but the damage all done to Katie.”

Knots: “That may be it. That may just be it. Bianca Evans will be our new Goddess!”

Bianca rolls over and smiles as she looks up. She then starts to roll over slowly. Katie remains down. Bianca crawls to the ropes. She then looks back at Katie. She smirks and falls into the corner. She looks up at the tiara and starts to pull herself up and climbs up the turnbuckle. She gets to the middle turnbuckle and then to the top. She then looks up at the tiara as the crowd. She then starts to reach up before Ophelia yells out to warn her, but Katie jumps up and hits the Botox Injection to Bianca’s legs. Bianca’s legs go out from under her and she hits the top turnbuckle before backflipping off and nearly hitting her head on the apron before falling to the mats. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh God…a really rough landing.”

Knots: “Second one tonight to the floor. After Slayter and Sam earlier. Jesus.”

Sharper: “But Bianca! She may be out. Katie…she’s climbing!”

Katie gets up the turnbuckle and to the top rope. She looks down at Bianca before looking up and pulls herself up the post enough to grab the tiara. She pulls it down and falls to the top turnbuckle before jumping down to the mat and rolling to her back. The crowd roars as TJ Johnson slides into the ring and the bell sounds.

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

Sharper: “Katie Steward perseveres. The attacks, the assaults, the disrespect and Katie stands tall.”

Knots: “Bianca Evans took the platinum knuckles. Took some of the sheen off Katie, but Katie, she still had the fight.”

Sharper: “She’s still the Goddess!”

TJ then asks for the tiara. Katie hands it to him and TJ looks at it before placing it on Katie’s head. The crowd cheers as TJ then raises Katie’s arm. The crowd cheers as Ophelia goes over to help Bianca and the official checks on her too. Ring crew members are already starting to take down the post from the ring.

Selena Frost can be seen on her way to the ring in her gear. The crowd cheers seeing her. She takes a few more steps before we see Giovanni Aries standing in an opening she walks by.

Giovanni: “Still believe it all?”

Selena stops and turns and sees Giovanni.

Selena: “Do you really plan to-“

Giovanni: “I feel it…do you?”

Selena: “Stop with this.”

Giovanni: “I mean you no harm…not right now. But tonight, I feel that the Lizard King will strike. And it will not be pretty-“

Selena: “Enough with this. I hope Owen Cruze knocks this obsession out of you. There is nothing going on here with Mr. D, this Lizard King and this crap. But if you want to keep going with it, whatever is left after Owen faces you, I have no problem showing you the error of your ways.”

Giovanni: “You are the one making an error. Your faith is in the wrong force. You are just being played by him. It’s all so clear. You’ve bought in-“

Selena: “Because he gave me the opportunity and he’s always been honest with me. You…you only attacked and assaulted. Now get out of my face. I have a match.”

Selena watches him, not turning her back as Giovanni steps back.

Giovanni: “I certainly hope I’m not right…”

Selena turns and heads off as Giovanni keeps back off.

Christy Matthews vs. Selena Frost

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing, but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The fans boo loudly as the camera pans through them all and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose. Her fists are taped, and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

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

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

As she begins to push her way down to ringside, and security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way, we see that she's joined by her manager, Christopher Richter.

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Los Angeles, CA., weighing in at 138 lbs., accompanied to the ring by Christopher Richter, she is Christy Matthews!”

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

Sharper: “Christy Matthews lately has been a tale of two stories and with what happened at Under Attack inside the Chamber and the Adrenaline Championship, she has been a bit under fire. Has she allowed Ravyn to get to her?”

Knots: “It’s obvious she has, here’s the thing, she better focus quick, she has Selena Frost tonight and can we say bad blood? These two fought over the Adrenaline Championship many times before, an old rivalry renewed.”

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "What I Believe" by Skillet brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the ice-shard cape she wears.

Fans: WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE!

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Nome, AK., weighing in at 135 lbs., she is “The Snow Queen” Selena Frost!

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

Sharper: “Selena looks ready but could she looking past Christy at the United States Championship match she has against Bree Lancaster? With Giovanni Aries a thorn on her side, with so much happening right now, this could be what many call a trap match.”

Knots: “Oh, I agree. This could be a trap match and Selena recently lost to Owen Cruze in his biggest victory of his career, this is Christy, they have beaten each other in the past, this could get ugly, quick Sharper.”

Selena stretches and prepares, Christy hops and down in place, the referee checks both women before he calls for the bell. Christy and Selena circle the ring, they lock up, Selena quickly drops to a knee to get some leverage, pushing Christy to the ropes, she breaks clean. Selena has her arms up, backing off as Christy nods and circles with Selena again, they lock up, Christy backs up Selena to the ropes, the referee calls for a break. Christy breaks clean before kicking Selena in the gut, she kicks her again before hitting a few forearms. Christy grabs Selena and throws her into the ropes, she goes for a clothesline but Selena ducks, Christy turns right into a hip toss, she gets up and Selena dropkicks her flush in the face and hooks a leg…

1!

Christy kicks out!

Matthews tries to roll out of the ring, Selena grabs her by the hair and drags her up, she kicks Matthews in the gut, runs against the ropes and delivers a swinging neckbreaker. The crowd cheers as Selena goes for the cover…

1!

2!

Christy Kicks Out!

She quickly rolls out of the ring while Selena yells at her to get back in the ring….

Sharper: “Selena starting off quick, it seemed like Christy was trying to take advantage of the rope break earlier, she seems determined to take this match at any cost.”

Knots: “These two do not like each other, Selena has that effect on people.”

Sharper: “That’s not true.”

Knots: “Ask Regan and Sienna.”

The referee tells Christy to get back in the ring, she paces as he starts the count, (1) Christy and Richter talk and discuss, (2) Selena yells at Christy bust she pays no attention, (3) The Snow Queen bounces off the ropes with such quickness and suicide dives right on top of Christy and Richter as the crowd roars. She picks up Christy (4) and rolls her back in the ring, she then hops on the apron, climbs the top rope while Richter gets up, Christy gets to her feet just as Selena jumps from the top rope with a flying body press, hooking the leg for the cover….

Christy Kicks Out!

Selena gets back to her feet, she kicks Christy in the gut and throws her into the turnbuckle, she charges in, Matthews steps to the side, Selena puts on the brakes, Christy turns, Selena jumps from the second rope with a front facelock into a Tornado DDT but Christy throws Selena off, she lands on her feet but Christy is too quick hitting a leg lariat.

Christy looks up at the referee holding three fingers, he shakes his head and shows her two. She starts to argue as Selena stirs…

Sharper: “Christy and Selena are pulling no punches, they are both going at it hard and right now Christy has taken advantage, but Selena is fighting. Like you said earlier, Selena could be looking past this to the United States Championship, started off fast but Christy is showing she needs to get into the win column.”

Knots: “The bad blood is real, Christy has always known how to beat Selena and she is showing it.”

Christy starts to kick a downed Selena, she then bounces off the ropes and drops a knee to the face, dropping to her knees and grinding her elbow into the face of Selena as the referee makes the count…

3… No! Christy Gets Her Shoulder Up!

Selena falls back disappointed. She gets up as the crowd roars, she waits for Christy to slowly get to her feet. She crawls to her ropes, trying to get to her feet…

Sharper: “Christy is in a bad way, Selena is waiting for the kill shot, she has her stunned and what a huge win and great momentum going into her match with Bree for the United States Championship!”

Knots: “That is true but how much has Christy taken from her? How resilient is she? How much does she have on her mind? Christy is still my pick to win.”

Sharper: “Selena is Kennedy’s friend and probably biggest supporter.”

Knots: “….but I think Selena can win this instead!”

Christy finally gets to her feet, Selena goes and hits the Glass Shard, she doesn’t hit Christy with all of it but causes her to fall back into the referee, butting heads, he falls to his knees holding the side of his head, Selena quickly stands by the turnbuckle, she goes to run against it as Christy stirs as the crowd roars….

Knots: “Wait, who is that running down to the ring!?

Sharper: “Is that Alexander Crowe!?”

Crowe runs into the ring, Selena turns and sees him, she kicks him in the guts and forearms him a few times backing him up to the ropes, Selena runs up the turnbuckle and goes for Defying Gravity, Crowe ducks, Selena lands on her feet, she turns and Crowe boots her in the face causing her to turn and hitting the Cobra Clutch Slam, he quickly rolls out of the ring as the crowd boos….

Sharper: “Oh come on! Why is Crowe down here helping Christy!?”

Knots: “Selena was taken out by Crowe, the referee is getting back to his feet! Selena could be out!”

Christy slowly gets up, she sees Selena stirring, Matthews climbs up to the top rope, she jumps off and hits the End of the Yellow Brick Road!

Sharper: “This is a miscarriage of justice, damn it!”

Knots: “Christy just hit it. I don’t think Selena is kicking out, thanks to the assist by Crowe!”

Christy slowly crawls on top of Selena for the cover as the referee drops down for the count….

The referee calls for the bell as the crowd boos. Christy Matthews rolls over and sits up noticing Crowe walking up the ramp with a smile on his face. “King of the World” starts to play throughout the arena….

Phillips: “The winner of the match…. Christy Matthews!”

Selena starts to stir as the referee checks on her, Matthews stares right at Crowe and claps saying “Thank you for helping Ravyn, You’re Welcome”. Christy looks on with narrowed eyes…

Sharper: “Did you here Crowe? After he cost Selena the match, she had Christy dead to rights and Crowe basically stole this from her!”

Knots: “The referee had no clue, Christy wins with a brilliant move by Crowe.”

Sharper: “Crowe?”

Knots: “Yes….. but damn it, Selena lost! Highway robbery!”

Christy continues to stare down Crowe, Richter finally joins her while Selena while on the mat leans against the ropes looking on in anger and disappointment as Crowe waves and walks to the back….

Hana Ito is with Dawn Lohan backstage and Abigail Lindsay is behind her with mock excitement.

Hana: “Hana Ito here with Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay.

Abigail: “She mentioned my name!”

Abigail continues to mockingly act excited.

Hana: “Well I should ask about that. Ravyn Taylor adding to the stakes.”

Dawn: “And it’s an attempt to allow her to get in my head. As if her word means anything these days. She has an angle and both of us know it. The fact is that the Adrenaline Championship is what I am focused on. It’s a title I would love to hold and well, against someone who I’ve had some success against, this will be fun.”

Abigail: “But Dawn! I’ll get her attention!”

Dawn: “And if you want more of it, we all know you’ll find a way to get it.”

Abigail smirks.

Hana: “Good luck tonight.”

Dawn: “Thanks.”

Hana: “Back to ringside.”

We cut away.

Datura vs. Alexis Quinne

The eyes all focus on the stage as A Stranger I Remain hits over the P.A System. The lights begin to flash violet, silver and black crowd starts to buzz and cheer. As the crowd looks on and the song kicks into gear, smoke fills up the stage. The lights continue to flash black and purple. From there, the crowd sees Alexis Quinne, standing wither her back turned against the people, dressed in black and purple Varsity Jacket. The back of the jacket has a black and silver fist in the middle with "New Americana" written right below it. Alexis turns her head and we see she's wearing a half white, half black and purple V for Vendetta mask with El Rudo's mask around her neck and a black baseball bat in her hands. Quinne turns around and peers to the crowd. She then heads down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, from San Francisco, California, she is Pint-Sized Awesomeness, Alexis Quinne!”

Alexis walks down to the ring with her bat in hand. She's looking around the ring. The camera does a full rotation as Quinne walks past it. Quinne stops mid-way. She looks around before un masking herself. The crowd cheers as Alexis shakes her head and raises her eyebrows a bit. She then keeps walking past the camera. She sees a young boy in the front row, with one of her hats on. Alexis stares at him before offering him his mask. The boy takes it and then the boy and Alexis then lift her knuckle in the air. The little boy looks a bit shit but eventually, he touches knuckles with Alexis. Alexis smirks and nods her head. She slides her bat into the ring and then walks up the steel steps. Alexis turns to the crowd and yells to them as they cheer her. She ascends up the top turnbuckle and Alexis then yells to the crowd, who cheer. The lights inside the ring flash black and purple as Alexis flashes the crowd the peace sign before shortly turning it into a fist. As she holds out her fist, she twists her head around the arena. Alexis looks around at the crowd before she jumps into the ring. Quinne quickly removes her jacket. She goes to the corner; before placing Rudo's mask around the turnbuckle and sliding her bat to the apron. She then climbs up the top rope and waits for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne made this walk down to the ring last month at Under Attack. And she left on a backboard, concerned about a neck injury. Fortunately, she was okay. But now, this match, against Datura, the rematch agreed to before that piledriver takes a complete different tenor.”

Knots: “It’s about revenge. Quinne wants this and you know she’s got to be more annoyed now than ever after Datura didn’t even show up on Breakdown.”

The arena turns black. On the screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the speakers, an eerie synth pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins speaking:

“The car’s on fire, and there’s no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows…

The government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.

It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upward, everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said ‘Kiss me. You’re beautiful. These are truly the last days. You grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever.”

A chorus of strings play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the top of the ramp. There, it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie. She stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd and sea of jeers that flood her way.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Tampa, Florida, she is Datura!”

Elizabeth trudges down the ramp, and the light following. The silhouette of hands reaching out to grab her can be seen on the outskirts of the light. Datura ignores them as she reaches the ring and Alexis Quinne runs at the ropes and dives through them with a forearm smash. Datura hits the mats as Quinne lands on top of her and rolls through. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Quinne! Through the ropes.”

Knots: “Guess saw what Howell did against Xander on Breakdown. Figured that would work tonight!”

Sharper: “Quinne not wasting time to go after Datura!”

Quinne gets up and Datura turns and Quinne nails her with a hard forearm shot. She nails another and runs Datura over to the barricade. The crowd ohs and Datura turns and Quinne drags her away from the barricade and over to the rampway before drop toe holding her into the steel. Datura winces and grimaces and starts to get up and Quinne grabs her face and drives it into the steel. She pulls it up and throws it back down. Datura rolls over. She nearly rolls off the ramp, but remains on it.

Sharper: “Quinne using the steel of the ramp to do the damage.”

Knots: “Alright. I guess the match will be a bit delayed. We have an ass-kicking for Datura!”

Datura stirs and Quinne grabs her and pulls her up before hitting a hip throw on the steel. Datura hits and rolls over and Quinne stomps her in the face and then again. Datura rolls over. Quinne walks over and grabs her as the official comes over and tries to tell them to get to the ring. Quinne just looks at him and turns before nailing him with a hard right. The crowd cheers as the official goes down. Quinne then turns and grabs at Datura who suddenly wrenches her arm and then ducks under before forearming Quinne in the back of the head. Quinne falls to her hands and knees.

Sharper: “Quinne levelling the official!”

Knots: “Oh boy. Okay…the match may be suspended indefinitely!”

Sharper: “And Datura with the forearm to the back of the head.”

Datura pulls Quinne up and then hooks her up and hits a Saito Suplex on the rampway. The crowd ohs and Quinne rolls over, holding her head and neck in pain. Datura turns and smiles before looking at her and dragging her up.

Datura: “You wanted this…Shame.”

Datura then knees her in the ribs before gutwrenching her. She then hoists her up, but doesn’t suplex her, instead sitting out dropping her face first down onto the ramp. The crowd ohs and Datura rolls her over. She then looks at the official before looking around and grabbing Alexis. She then drags her up and pulls her over to the ring. Quinne however suddenly forearm her in the ribs and then again before Quinne spins her around and then pushes her hard back first into the ringpost. Datura hits and falls over. Quinne staggers back.

Sharper: “Datura into the ringpost. Quinne shoving her hard into it.”

Knots: “Back of the head first too!”

Datura stirs and Quinne runs over and jumps to her back and then jumps to the barricade before jumping back and hitting a splash to the back of Datura. The crowd ohs and cheers. Quinne rolls over. We have a couple of other officials coming down from the back as one goes over to check on their fallen colleague. Quinne turns and moves to the ring. The crowd roars as she looks underneath. She then pulls out a table. The second official that came out runs over to Quinne and tells her to stop. Quinne just looks at him and nails him with another hard right. The crowd roars. Quinne then turns around to the table and lifts it onto its side. She unfolds one table leg and then another. She flips it up upright and turns and Datura nails her with a hard right. Quinne falls to the apron. Datura then grabs her and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex onto the mats. Quinne rolls over, holding her back in pain.

Sharper: “Quinne with another official attacked.”

Knots: “Table out. Datura takes down Quinne. Jesus!”

Sharper: “Quinne looking to put some damage on Datura. She wanted this. She didn’t want to wait nor give this up to Regan.”

Quinne rolls over and Datura grabs her and pulls her up before kneeing her in the ribs and then again. She then looks behind her. She whips Quinne hard into the table. Quinne hits the edge of the table, thighs first and goes up and over, and narrowly misses the steel steps. The crowd ohs and Datura smirks. She then turns and climbs up onto the apron and waits for Quinne to start to get up and Datura dives off with a diving hard right to the head. Quinne falls back to the barricade. She then grabs her and pulls her up before dragging her to the steel steps. Quinne grimaces in pain and Datura then grabs her and glances back and then hooks her up and throws her off the steel steps and through the table with a belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs and Quinne remains down. Datura rolls over and gets up.

Sharper: “Through the table. Belly to belly.”

Knots: “That could stop all of this. Quinne just went through that with a thud and Datura is already back up!”

Another official comes down to the ring and head into the ring. He heads over and Datura climbs up the steel steps. The official talks to her and Datura shrugs before nailing him in the ribs before pulling him through the ropes and hitting a knee to his head. He falls over and down. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Not another one!”

Knots: “Datura’s getting into the fine action!”

Datura then turns back and sees Quinne starting to stir. Datura nods and then hops down to the mats before looking under the ring. She looks underneath and grabs a steel chair. She walks around the steel steps as Quinne starts to get up and Datura walks over and slams the chair in her back. The crowd ohs and Quinne just crumbles. Datura pulls the table up and over as she steps around. She then looks at Quinne and lifts the chair and slams it in her back again. Quinne rolls over in pain. Datura smirks and then puts the chair down. She unfolds it and puts it down next to her. She then grabs Quinne and hooks her up before spinning her around and into a reverse waistlock. She glances back, but Quinne suddenly backflips through and over the chair, but she pulls Datura back into the chair and down to the mats. Quinne staggers back before turning back and stomping her in the face over and over and over again. Quinne then falls over, the adrenaline fading.

Sharper: “Quinne pulls Datura down and then goes to town.”

Knots: “But only for a moment. The adrenaline just there for a moment.”

Sharper: “And her back has to be screaming in pain!”

Quinne starts to pull herself up and then grabs the steel chair. She folds it up and staggers to the barricade before turning back to Datura who starts to get up and Quinne slams the chair into her back. She slams it down again and Datura falls to the mats. Quinne throws the chair down and walks over to the ring and pulls out another table. The crowd roars again. She then turns and we see some more officials coming down from the back. The crowd boos loudly as Quinne turns and lifts the table up. She unfolds the tables before then hoisting it up.

Sharper: “Another table!”

Knots: “More officials. I don’t think we’re seeing a match here. This is a fight and Quinne is looking to make a point here!”

One of the officials tries to get her to stop. She turns and shoves one out of her way. She then turns and goes over to Datura. Datura nails her in the ribs and then again before Quinne knees her in the ribs and she headbutts her before running her face first into the ringpost. Datura rolls off and turns and Quinne rolls her onto the table. The crowd roars as Quinne nails her a couple of times before nailing one of the officials. He goes down and Quinne hops onto the apron. The crowd roars. She then turns and goes to the corner and climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars some more as the officials try to get her to stop. Quinne however looks at Datura and dives off and hits a flip dive off the top rope and through the table. Datura goes through it and Quinne goes to her side. Datura and Quinne are both down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Quinne dives Datura through the table!”

Knots: “Officials trying to make sure they’re okay. They’ve been just going at each other!”

Sharper: “Chair shots. Brawling. Tables. Ringposts. Both have beaten the hell out of each other in this short time period.”

Quinne rolls off of Datura and down to the mats. Officials keep checking on both as Datura slowly rolls over in pain. The crowd roars as a “Let them fight!” chant starts to break out. Quinne slowly crawls forward and starts to get up. The crowd cheers as Quinne looks around and staggers back. She looks around at the crowd as they cheer her some more. The chants turn into a “Quinne!” chant as Quinne looks around. Quinne then lunges at Datura again as a few officials hold her back. The crowd roars as Quinne tries to get through. Just then, more cheers as we see Regan Street step out from the back. She just is running her mouth before she turns and looks to her wrist, almost mentioning time’s up before Quinne turns around and sees her. She then runs at her. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Regan Street now out!”

Knots: “Oh great! We needed more fighting!”

Sharper: “Quinne going after Regan. She’s running on pure adrenaline!”

Quinne nails Regan with a couple of hard rights and then another before Regan nails her in the ribs with a knee before she turns and throws her up the rampway. Quinne falls over and rolls through. Regan turns and storms toward the ring and nails one of the officials as she runs for Datura. Datura gets up, smirking and Regan spears her back into the ring apron before spinning her down into the table. Datura tries to grab at the arm, but Regan moves into a mount and gets a couple of forearm shots into Datura. The crowd roars as Regan and Datura go at it.

Sharper: “Datura and Regan! Datura and Regan!”

Knots: “She was looking at her watch as she came out. She was going to give Quinne her time. Now it’s Regan’s! She wants Datura!”

Regan gets a few more shots in and Datura covers up before Regan goes for another shot, but Datura manages to wrap her legs up and goes for a triangle choke. Regan struggles a bit and goes for the eyes of Datura as Datura goes to bite her fingers. Officials move in and start to pull Regan off of her as the crowd boos. Regan staggers forward and turns and nails another official as she gets free. The crowd roars. Alexis runs at Regan and Regan turns and Regan catches her as she jumps up and turns and powerslams her to the mats. Quinne rolls over with a thud. Regan turns and runs over to Datura and kicks her in the body as she starts to get up. She falls back and rolls over as officials finally get a hold of Regan. Security also comes out to finally take control. The crowd boos loudly as Regan is forced back.

Sharper: “Security coming out. Officials stopping it.”

Knots: “Crowd not happy. I don’t think anyone is. Regan wasn’t going to wait longer and she wants Datura!”

Sharper: “Quinne and Datura never got started. Clearly, whoever is calling the shots, wants order.”

Regan steps back and yells at Quinne and Datura.

Regan: “I’m coming for you! No more obstacles. Quinne…you had your chance…now it’s my turn! My time!”

Regan continues to be forced to the back as cameras focus on her for a few moments longer before we cut to the ring where Datura starts to stir, smirking at Regan before falling to her side. She then turns and looks at Quinne who starts to get up and we see a couple of officials still by them. One even tells Datura to stay down. Datura gets up, but falls to her knees. Quinne starts to get up, wincing. The two of them look at one another.

Sharper: “Look at the ringside area! Quinne and Datura are getting back up!”

Knots: “Officials and security focusing on Regan! Only a few are there if Quinne and Datura go at it again!”

They move toward one another and go forehead to forehead, while looking at each other on their hands and knees. The officials at ringside, plead with them to start fighting, as Regan is forced to the back by security. The crowd starts to roar as Datura and Quinne then grab each other by the back of each other’s heads. Officials, fearing another attack on them, give some space as Datura and Quinne manage to get to their feet, just looking at one another, seething. Quinne then shoves her back before turning as an official takes this moment to step in between, but Datura grabs Quinne’s arm and spins her around. The crowd continues to roar, looking at this scene before Datura pulls her in, but this time, into a hug. Quinne looks a bit confused before then understanding the gesture, returning it. The crowd cheers. Datura says something to Quinne as they step back. Datura nods as Quinne looks at her.

Sharper: “An embrace?!”

Knots: “After everything…Datura is hugging Quinne and Quinne’s returning the gesture…she piledrove you last month!”

Sharper: “Is that a sign of respect? Of mutual respect?”

Knots: “This crowd seems to think so! We are in Boston though!”

Datura and Quinne continue to look at one another as the crowd continues to cheer as the scene slowly fades to black.

A shot of Syren standing tall in the middle of the ring, holding the SCW World Championship with Ravyn Taylor and CHBK comes up on the screen. This is followed by a shot of Giovanni Aries and Ace Marshall fighting in a Lizard strip club, including shots of a Lizard dancer. Regan Street looking across the ring at Selena Frost follows before cutting to a shot of Bree Lancaster smiling as she holds the SCW World Tag Team Championship with Scott Burnside. Sienna Swann then standing proudly as the SCW World Championship follows before showing Kennedy Street glaring at Syren, before cutting to a shot of Donovan Kayl celebrating at Trios Tournament. Finally with cut to a shot of Konrad Raab celebrating as he holds the SCW Television Championship.

“Look back at the year that was…”

The End of the Year Special logo comes up on the screen.

“Live on New Year Eve. The SCW 2018 End of the Year Special…only on pay per view!”

The scene fades to black.

Dawn Lohan vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW Adrenaline Championship

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship. Introducing the challenger, she is one half of Lohan Country and is accompanied to the ring by Abigail Lindsay…she is…Dawn Lohan!!!”

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

The crowd cheers as Dawn’s music continues to play and Dawn gets on the back of Abigail’s motorcycle. Abigail revs the engine and then starts to ride down the rampway and over to the ring. The crowd roars as she drives down, gaining some speed before stopping at the ringside area. She then starts to slowly guide the bike around the ring, driving it around the ringside area.. Dawn hops off and takes off her helmet. She turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up as the crowd cheers. Abigail takes her helmet off before turning and following her sister. Abigail goes to the corner and looks around as Dawn does the same. They hop down as their music fades out.

Sharper: “This next match up is for the Adrenaline Championship, pitting Dawn Lohan against Ravyn Taylor. These two have quite the history, as Dawn was the one to finally end the historic United States title reign of one Ravyn Taylor.”

Knots: “Does she have it in her to repeat history? I guess we will find out tonight!”

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word “NEVERMORE”. With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

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 the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face, along with CHBK by her side. She’s dressed in ring gear that includes her normal ring jacket covering a small, revealing bra top and a pair of skin tight hot-pants with the words “BAD GIRL” across the back. She stops on the stage, twirling for the camera almost mockingly.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments she starts to make her way down to ringside and then steps up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before vaulting over the top turnbuckle and rolling back to her feet. She walks over to the far corner of the ring, stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and removes her ring jacket, looking down at herself with a look of admiration before stepping off the turnbuckle again. She folds the jacket up and places it in the corner before dropping to a seated position, looking up at the referee and shaking her head as he tries to tell her to get to her feet so he can pat her down. Instead she just ushers him away with her hand, continuing to sit in the corner.

Phillips: “And introducing next, she is one half of Dark Fantasy, and is accompanied by CHBK…she is the SCW Adrenaline Champion…she is Ravyn Taylor!!!”

Sharper: “Ravyn stepping out with the legendary CHBK, looks focused and ready to defend the Adrenaline Championships which she won in the Elimination Chamber last month at Under Attack.”

Knots: “Let’s not forget the wager that Ravyn made earlier. If Dawn manages to win tonight, not only is she champion but her sister, Abigail gets what she wants. I’m rooting for Dawn.”

The ref calls for the bell as Abi and CHBK hop down off of the apron, as Dawn and Ravyn step out of their corners. Dawn stares Ravyn down, as the champion just smirks before both lunge forward, locking up in the center of the ring. Dawn backs Ravyn up a little bit, but Ravyn breaks the tie-up, hitting a forearm then locking in a side head lock, dropping down to one knee.

Sharper: “The champion in control in the early goings of the match.”

Knots: “Just the way she likes it. Or so I’ve heard.”

Sharper: “Who is your source?”

Knots: “A gentleman never tells.”

Dawn is shown twisting and turning, trying to wiggle free but Ravyn maintains her grip. Dawn then begins to punch Ravyn in the sides, causing her grip to loosen. Dawn grabs a hold of Ravyn and drops her with an atomic drop. Abi is shown smirking on the outside as CHBK shouts something at Ravyn, who pushes herself off of the mat, glaring at Dawn, who smirks back.

Dawn and Ravyn lunge forward once more, locking up in the middle of the ring, with Ravyn gaining the advantage, pushing Dawn into a bridge, before pushing her shoulders down to the mat as the referee makes a count.

Ravyn hits the mat and Dawn goes for a cover, but Ravyn rolls away quickly, creating distance. Ravyn gets to one knee only for Dawn to connect with a running knee.

Sharper: “Dawn gaining some momentum after a feeling out process between champion and challenger.”

Dawn goes for a quick cover.

Ravyn shoots her shoulder up. Dawn locks in a head lock, before reversing into a reverse chin lock. The ref checks on the champion who shakes her head no, before twisting from side to side, breaking free of the lock. Ravyn gets to her feet, but Dawn meets her with a step up enziguri. Dawn then goes for another cover.

Ravyn kicks out and Abi is heard booing on the outside.

Knots: “Abigail is not happy with that kick out. Dawn is going to have to step it up.”

Sharper: “I feel like you want this to happen more than Abi does.”

Knots: “I’m just trying to encourage Dawn. I mean, it’s for her sister. You have to support your family.”

Ravyn rolls over onto her back and slowly pushes herself up, only for Dawn to connect with a football kick. Ravyn winces upon impact. Dawn steps in front of Ravyn before unleashing the Lohan Barrage, the high knee leveling the champion. Dawn then goes for another cover.

Abi is shown casually walking by and grabs Dawn’s foot before placing it on the ropes, breaking the count as the ref sees the foot on the rope. Ravyn looks up at the ref then glares at Abi, who blows her a kiss and gives her a wink.

Knots: “Abi is not willing to let Ravyn go without a fight.”

Sharper: “There is that, but she definitely helped her sister out, though I don’t condone those actions.”

Ravyn grabs Dawn off of the mat, hits a few forearms before backing her into the ropes. Ravyn goes to whip Dawn across the ring, but Dawn reverses. Dawn goes for a roundhouse kick, but Ravyn dunks under, and hooking Dawn then planting her with a double knee backbreaker. Ravyn gets to her feet as Dawn is seen holding her back. Ravyn then grabs hold of Dawn and hits a rolling neck snap. Ravyn goes for the quick cover.

Dawn kicks out. Ravyn grabs Dawn, drives a knee into the midsection before following up with the Birds of a Feather. Ravyn hooks the leg.

Sharper: “That straight jacket neckbreaker.”

Knots: “If I’m Abigail, I’d be running in there…or get on the apron. That works too.”

The referee is shown arguing with Abi as she jaws with him on the apron. Ravyn gets to her feet and goes to punch Abigail, but before she can connect Dawn reaches up and rolls her up into a school boy.

Ravyn kicks out. Ravyn gets to her knees, only for Dawn to hit a knee. Dawn grabs Ravyn and whips her into the ropes, before running and bouncing off of the opposite side and connecting with Swift Justice. Ravyn hits the mat and Dawn slowly pushes herself over to Ravyn as Abi is shown cheering her on. Dawn hooks the leg.

CHBK slides into the ring and the ref stops the count, and begins arguing with CHBK. Dawn gets to her feet just as the ref gets CHBK out of the ring. Dawn turns and goes to grab Ravyn, who pokes her in the eye. Dawn stumbles back as Ravyn gets to her feet. Ravyn grabs Dawn and whips her into the corner, before following up with the Bust of Pallas. Dawn drops to the mat.

Sharper: “Running Yakuza kick from the champion and Dawn looks to be on dream street, thanks to the interference from CHBK.”

Knots: “This is not wonderful.”

Ravyn grabs Dawn off of the mat, who manages to fire back with a European uppercut, staggering Ravyn. Dawn goes for a round house, but Ravyn blocks it, grabs Dawn and kicks her in the midsection before hooking her and connecting with Evolutionary Synthesis. Ravyn then hooks the leg.

Knots: “This is not wonderful. Like at all. Poor Abi.”

Sharper: “A valiant effort by Dawn Lohan, but Ravyn Taylor is still the SCW Adrenaline Champion.”

Ravyn is shown joining CHBK outside as he hands her the championship. She is shown smirking as they make their way to the back, as Abi is shown tending to her sister, Dawn.

Backstage we see Trinity Street and Regan Street talking.

Regan: “You know I should be on that team.”

Trinity: “Regan…I know that. I want you on that team. But what you just did…with Datura, with Alexis…you’re everywhere.”

Regan: “Don’t give me this. You’re sounding like Donovan. And you’d rather have Dylan?!”

Mikaela is seen in the background.

Trinity: “It’s because I see it. I know you wanted this. I wanted this. But…your head’s not in this. And Regan, I don’t want to lose this.”

Regan: “And with me-“

Trinity: “And with you, would you be thinking about Sienna? Or Datura? Or Quinne? Or Mr. D? Or the lack of opportunities. As you waited on the sideline for all of your allies to fail? I know it Regan. I know what you’re going through. The stir crazy. We have some of the same ticks.”

Trinity and Regan just look at one another, silent for a moment. Mikaela watches them too.

Trinity: “Regan…you’re trying to so hard to stand for anyone who has been with you. I respect that. But it’s the main reason you’re here. Kick Datura’s ass when you get the shot. And I pray that we get a chance to make this all right. Against someone who maybe isn’t that close to you.”

Trinity turns and heads off. Regan just turns away, clearly holding back a yell, wanting to just lose it, but doesn’t. Mikaela turns to her. Regan just snaps at her.

Regan: “Just leave me alone. Sorry…but I need to be alone.’

Regan heads off as the scene fades out.

Redemption vs. Bree Lancaster & Andrew Raynes

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the SCW Tag Team Championships! Introducing first, the challengers....”

“Alive” by POD blares through the sound system, as the crowd begins to cheer. The cameras peer behind the curtain as James Evans and Angelica Jones make their way towards the entrance stage. Stepping from behind the curtain, James and Angelica go to opposite ends of the stage, saluting the crowd.

Phillips: “First, from New York City... James Evans! And his partner, from Boston, Massachusetts... Angelica Jones! Together they are the team of Redemption!

The Boston crowd roars at Angelica's announcement as they both start their way down the ramp. They get to the ring and split up, entering the ring on opposite sides before climbing to the top rope in opposite corners, garnering cheers from the crowd once more. They both hop down and take their corner as the music fades.

Sharper: “James Evans and Angelica Jones the clear crowd favorites here in Boston, hometown of the Jones clan.”

Knots: “We already saw one Jones fight tonight. Andrew Raynes got the win there? Now her mother faces Andrew.”

Sharper: “Will it be a Jones or Raynes getting the win in this one, though? Different kind of match, different stakes.”

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

Phillips: “And their opponents... first, from Niagara Falls, Ontario... he is one half of the current SCW Tag Team Champions... Andrew Raynes!”

As his introduction is finished, he grabs the belt off his shoulder and raises it above his head with one hand and starts taunting the fans, smirking and loving the boos. He then starts walking down towards the ring with the title belt hanging down from his hand. He walks up the stairs into the ring and walks into the middle of the ring, raising the belt high once again, and continues to taunt the fans as they continue to rain down boos on him.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes, carrying a title belt that Bree Lancaster essentially handed him when Mr. D gave her the opportunity to choose a replacement partner after Scott Burnside gave his up.”

Knots: “Interesting situation here, we have a champion who did nothing to BE a champion, yet it's well within what Mr. D allowed, the same could have been said for anyone Bree would have chosen.”

Sharper: “As much as this pairing is scary for the entire tag division, I have to say I'm relieved Scott is no longer a part of this team. He isn't trained, he would have gotten hurt and quickly.”

Raynes' music fades, and he turns towards the stage, smirking as he waits for his partner. The crowd boos lightly in anticipation.

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, dressed in her black silk robe 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, carrying her title belts. The crowd boos heavily.

Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside... she is the SCW United States Champion and one half of the Tag Team Champions... the Ambitchous Bree Lancaster!"

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott hands her the belts before going up. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. In the ring Bree holds the belts overhead, one in each hand. She then hands them back to Scott and pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her black shimmery gear, the shorts noticeably shorter than her old white gear. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner to join Raynes. Scott is on the outside and pulls her robe off the ropes as her music fades out.

Knots: “Damn, Bree is really taking this 'new me' thing to the next level. New ring gear, new entrance music. Hey, did you see the latest scoop TMZ-”

Sharper: “I was told, and we are not discussing that here, Jon.”

Knots: “Why do you hate me?”

Sharper: “I don't, but I like SCW's sponsors more.”

Both teams converse with each other in their respective corners, before Bree and Angelica step through to the apron.

Sharper: “Looks like the guys are kicking this one off.”

Knots: “Evans and Raynes have never faced off before, interesting that they chose to start off, especially considering Raynes has already had one match earlier tonight!”

The bell rings. The crowd murmurs in anticipation as Evans and Raynes circle each other, sizing each other up. Raynes quickly moves in and grabs for Evans' arm. Evans backs away. Raynes tries again. Evans spins out. He then lunges low for a takedown at Raynes, but Raynes leaps over him. He turns, and Evans' spins, facing each other again. They stare at each other a second, then Raynes rears back and catches Evans with a stiff slap, knocking his head sideways. The crowd boos. Bree smirks from her corner. Evans looks back up and glares. Raynes waves both hands in a 'come on' motion. Evans lunges, and the men finally enter a collar and elbow lock up. Evans transitions to a rear waistlock, and pulls Raynes arm back into a hammerlock. Raynes fights it for a few seconds, before Evans then pulls Raynes' arm up and turns it into a half-nelson. Raynes twists hard to one side, loosening Evans' grip. He then leans over, flipping Evans over his back. Evans lands on his feet and turns, right into a spinning elbow from Raynes. The crowd oohs as Evans grabs his jaw and turns away, stepping back.

Sharper: “Bit of a feeling out exchange there, both of these men are experienced technical wrestlers in addition to their propensity for all out brawling.”

Knots: “We have seen both of them go all out, with no regard for their own safety, to take an opponent out. James hasn't gone that route in a while though and it's pretty much Raynes' specialty. This is a good reminder of how versatile he actually can be.”

Evans turns back and Raynes meets him with a spinning heel kick. Evans goes down to a knee. Raynes turns and tags in Bree. The crowd boos as she steps through. She runs at Evans and knees him in the side of the head. Evans goes down to his side. Bree then grabs his leg and slams his knee into the canvas. Evans turns over to his back, grabbing at his leg. Bree isn't deterred, she grabs his leg again and yanks it sideways, twisting the joint. Evans turns to his side, grabbing his knee. Bree looks down and smirks, walking around him. Evans starts to get up, and Bree watches from a few steps away. As Evans gets to his feet, Bree runs, getting her knee up for another strike. Evans blocks it though, grabbing her leg and shoving her back. Bree stumbles but keeps her feet. Evans uses her momentary loss of balance to grab her arm and send her across the ring. Bree bounces off the ropes and Evans nails her with a forearm. Bree goes down on her back, but gets back up quickly. Evans just grabs her and lifts her up before slamming her back down with a power slam. He then goes to his corner and tags Angelica in.

Sharper: “And here comes Angelica, she and Bree fought two weeks ago and it ended in a DQ when Scott accidentally struck Bree while aiming for Angelica, trying to help out his partner. That led us here, with Scott turning in his title and Bree choosing Andrew Raynes as her co-champion.”

Knots: “I bet both of them would love to have a more definitive ending here tonight. Although in this case Bree may not mind a DQ, she and Raynes would at least retain that way!”

Angelica runs in and kicks Bree in the ribs as she's on all fours trying to get up. Bree falls back to her stomach. Angelica drops down and grabs Bree's arm then around the head, looking for her Firestarter submission. The crowd cheers, but Bree rolls side to side and fights out of it, throwing Angelica off her back. She then rolls out of the ring. The official starts a count. (1) Bree walks around the corner to where Scott is. They speak a second. (2) Angelica gets up and leans on the ropes, yelling at Bree to get back in. (3).

Sharper: “And Bree Lancaster deciding to take a bit of a breather after Angelica went for a submission early.”

Knots: “Typical Bree.”

Bree hops up on the apron next to Andrew. (4) They talk a second as well. Bree nods at Andrew and steps through into the ring. Angelica is right on her, and grabs her arm, to whip her across the ring. Bree counters though and sends Angelica instead. On the rebound Bree hits a dropkick. Angelica goes down, but starts to get right back up. Bree doesn't let her though, she kicks Angelica in the ribs as she's on one knee. Angelica goes back down. Bree goes to the corner and tags Raynes.

Raynes enters and grabs Angelica, pulling her up. He sends her into a neutral corner, then follows up with a knee to her ribs. Angelica leans over, holding her side. Raynes then pulls her out, lifts her up, then turns, takes a step towards the middle of the ring before planting her back down with a side slam. He makes a cover.

Angelica gets her shoulder up. Raynes gets up and pulls her up, then grabs her from behind with a half-nelson before then slamming her down again. Bree yells and Raynes turns, sees her reaching. He nods and lunges over, making the tag.

Bree enters as Angelica stirs. Bree walks up and reaches to grab Angelica, but Angelica swings up as she gets to her feet and nails Bree with an uppercut. Bree staggers back, giving Angelica an opening. She dives for the corner where Evans is waiting, tagging him in. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Angelica in the ring for a long time taking some punishment, and here comes James after a much needed tag.”

Knots: “I have to say, Bree and Andrew are working better as a team than I expected. Who knew she could share the spotlight?!”

Evans runs at Bree , grabs her before she can evade and plants her with a snap suplex. Evans gets up and turns and drops a knee into Bree's chest before going for a cover.

Raynes runs in and breaks it up. Evans gets up and shoves Raynes backwards. Bree sits up and backs away, holding her head as the official makes Raynes exit. He complains the whole time but steps back onto the apron. Evans turns back to Bree, and she is up. Evans bounces off the ropes and jumps with a flying forearm, nailing Bree directly in the face. She puts both hands up and bends over. The crowd ohhs then cheers.

Knots: “Come on James! Bree can't be a Kablamaerobic model if you break her face!”

Sharper: “I don't think she was interested, Jon. Remember Bree has previously had her nose broken, she looks hurt here.”

Bree turns somewhat towards her corner, not looking up and still holding her face. The official goes over to check on her, a hand up to hold Evans back. Bree and the official speak for a moment, and Evans goes to his corner and says something to Angelica. She shrugs. Bree makes her way into her corner and tags Raynes in. He gets in and Bree exits slowly, her hand still over her face.

Angelica points and Evans turns to see Raynes is in, but not in enough time to evade the running high knee coming at his face. Evans hits the ropes. Raynes grabs him and plants him with a DDT. He drags Evans away from the ropes before making a cover.

Evans kicks out. Raynes pulls him up and grabs his face before then landing a vicious elbow. Evans staggers sideways. Raynes then takes a step back before going for Thunderstruck, but Evans looks up in time to see and blocks it, grabbing Raynes' foot. He shoves back, knocking Raynes off balance and down to his back. Evans then quickly locks in a sharpshooter. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes going for his version of the superkick but Evans turned that around into this submission, dead in the center of the ring!”

Knots: “And Bree is still on the apron holding her face, not paying attention!”

The crowd roars as Raynes fights the pain, trying to get closer to the ropes. Scott, who has been keeping his distance from the ring so far, starts to go to Bree to get her attention. The camera cuts to a closer look and we can see Bree is peeking through her fingers. Just as Scott gets on the apron, Bree shoots through the ropes and runs into Evans with a shoulder tackle, forcing him to break the hold. The crowd boos as Raynes rolls away, holding his leg.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster with the save! She was faking! Her nose is fine!”

Knots: “There she goes using some of her old tricks.”

Bree gets up and stomps Evans in the chest twice before the official forces her to exit. Raynes gets up, shaking out his leg. Evans gets up and the two meet in the middle of the ring, both throwing lefts and rights. The crowd roars. Both Bree and Angelica shout encouragement from their corners. Evans lands a forearm.

Bree kicks out. Both get up and Bree grabs Angelica and spins her around into the corner. She runs and drills her knee into Angelica's ribs. Not letting her catch her breath, Bree then pulls Angelica out and starts to whip her into the opposite corner. Angelica counters though and lifts Bree up and over with a back body drop. She turns and Bree is getting up. Angelica goes to kick her in the stomach, but Bree grabs her foot. Before Angelica can escape, Bree takes her down with a dragonscrew. Without letting go, Bree then turns Angelica over and slams her knee into the mat with a kneebreaker. The crowd boos as Bree smirks down at her.

Knots: “Looks like Bree just screwed the dragon. Get it? Dragonscrew? Angelica?”

Sharper: “We get it, Jon. Bree clearly trying to set up the Crescent Lock here.”

Angelica starts to get up, moving towards her corner to tag Evans in. Bree grabs her leg and pulls her back. Angelica turns to her back and kicks at Bree's hands frantically, forcing her to let go. Angelica then gets to her feet and dives, making the tag. The crowd cheers, then boos as Bree drills Evans with the BOGO as soon as he gets in. Evans backs into the ropes. Bree grabs him and sends him across, then follows. On the rebound Bree goes for a back body drop, but Evans floats over and lands on his feet. Bree spins and Evans nails her with an uppercut. He then grabs her and sends her across into the ropes. Bree though grabs the top rope to halt her momentum and dives sideways, tagging Raynes in again. Raynes enters as Evans waits for him.

Evans turns and runs at Bree and clotheslines her up and over the top rope. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “Remembering the BOGO. Gets a clothesline.”

Sharper: “But Raynes is the legal competitor!”

Evans turns and grabs Raynes and nails him with a hard right and then another before pushing him into the ropes. He goes to fire him off, but Raynes spins through and sends Evans in. Evans bounces off and Evans goes for a clothesline. Raynes ducks and turns and hits a back kick. He then grabs him and rolls him up in an inside cradle.

Angelica enters and Evans kicks out. Raynes rolls out and gets up and right into an Angelica Jones superkick. The crowd ohs and Raynes turns around right into Evans who bends him over into a double underhook before hoisting him up and finishing off the Shot of Redemption!

Sharper: “Shot of Redemption. Raynes was caught. And look out! Jones!”

Angelica then turns and dives over the top rope and onto Bree with a flip dive, taking her down. Scott looks around as Evans goes for the pin and hooks the leg.

Knots: “Evans has the pin! Come on! Come on!”

Scott rolls into the ring and tries for the save, but its too late. Scott turns and rolls over as Evans rolls off. The crowd cheers.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions, James Evans, Angelica Jones, Redemption!”

Angelica rolls into the ring as Raynes turns and grimaces in pain. Bree rolls over too. The official turns and hands James one title and Angelica the other. They then smile as they get up and hug in the middle of the ring. The referee then raises their arms.

Sharper: “James Evans and Angelica Jones, at the end, their teamwork the difference!”

Knots: “And Bree, because of her, Andrew takes another loss. He can’t even enjoy today! He beat Marie! He should be celebrating!”

Sharper: “And he nearly was. Bree and him worked well, but Redemption have been working on that teamwork for months. It’s more than a friendship and it was the difference at the end with the Shot of Redemption! New Tag Team Champions!”

Knots: “At least Bree gets one less champion’s cheque!”

Sharper: “And on the next edition of Breakdown, she has to defend her US title against Selena Frost!”

Bree looks in the ring as she winces as Scott just looks at Bree. James and Angelica continue to celebrate in the ring.

A shot of the outside of the TD Garden comes up on the screen. The crowd roars seeing their home arena.

Sharper: “We are live in Boston! We are live here for Bound by Blood!”

The scene remains on the screen for a few moments before we cut to the security checkpoint backstage to see Sasha, Mr. D’s oldest daughter, arriving.

Sharper: “Wait a minute. Sasha’s here. Both daughters are here.”

Knots: “And she looks to be on a mission.”

Sharper: “Last time Sasha was here, she was trying to get information about Katya. Something may be up.”

The crowd cheers seeing her as she continues on her way. She then heads over to an official, gets some information before heading off. The scene cuts to ringside to the announce table where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit.

Sharper: “Big news there. But bigger news could on the horizon for someone. When we look at SCW, we always like to talk about competition and opportunity. And it’s the end of the year and this means someone is going to get their first ever one on one title shot.”

Knots: “And unlike previous years, this year may be a real pick-em. We’ve seen some people start to move their way up the ladder. But this year, a lot of talent that would love the shot to face either Sienna Swann or JoshHudson for the title.”

Sharper: “Voting begins after the show goes off the air. We’ll reveal the winner on December 12^th on Breakdown and here’s the list of potential competitors you can vote for. This is chosen entirely by you the fans at home.”

Knots: “Great…that’s all we need.”

Sharper: “A great list of people. Someone will get their first ever one on one title match all thanks to the fans.”

The graphic remains on the screen for a few moments longer before we cut away.

Owen Cruze vs. Giovanni Aries

The opening beats to Southpaw Swagger's 'It's Showtime' kicks in over the speaker system, the fans jumping to their feet in acknowledgment of who is about to step out onto the stage. A huge roar greets Owen Cruze as he steps out onto the stage, a massive grin on his face.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, currently residing in Los Angeles, California; weighing in at 189 pounds… Owen Cruze!”

"It's Showtime!"

He brings his arms out to his side, nodding his head. His arms shaking he brings them in, crossing them across his chest.

"It's Showtime!"

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking to the ring. As he reaches ringside he runs up the ring steps and across the apron, turning to face the fans whilst he holds the rope, punching out with the other hand. He enters the ring and immediately climbs up to the top turnbuckle and applauds the fans, which gets another huge reaction from them. He somersaults backwards, landing on his feet and bounces off the ropes, the smile still evident on his face.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze has been on a roll as of late, mostly starting from what many consider a huge upset over Selena Frost back at Under Attack. On that same night, though, Giovanni Aries returned and has been tormenting Owen in an attempt to get him on his side I suppose.”

Knots: “He believes Owen can still be saved from the influence of the Lizard King, and tonight Owen has a chance to shut him up about it without Selena helping to fight this battle for him!”

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out an LSD laced cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring.

Phillips: “His opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Sam; from Black Rock Desert, Nevada; weighing in at 223 pounds… Giovanni Aries!”

While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ringside before locking eyes with a very game Owen waiting in the ring before he extends his arms and yells to Owen.

Aries: "FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OWEN!!!"

He laughs hysterically before walking up the steps to the ring apron. He faces the crowd and hard camera as he throws his arms out making a cross while looking to the sky and slowly moves his left hand to his mouth takes a drag of his LSD laced cigarette and blowing smoke into the air before flipping backwards into the ring where Sam is waiting. She takes off Giovanni’s fur jacket as Giovanni Aries grabs her and pulls her tight and proceeds to take another drag before blowing it into her waiting open mouth. Sam smiles as she exits the ring while Giovanni takes a seat on the nearby top turnbuckle and waits for the match to start.

Sharper: “There’s no denying that Giovanni is a strange individual, but Owen had better be careful not to underestimate him. Don’t forget that this man did win Taking Hold of the Flame earlier this year and main evented Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “I can’t help but feel bad for some of these bright young stars in the SCW talent pool. For whatever reason the likes of Owen, Blackbourne and Slayter keep finding themselves crossing paths with the nutjobs obsessed with getting something out of them by any means necessary!”

The referee signals for the bell as Owen and Giovanni circle each other, almost sizing one another up. Giovanni fakes shooting in for a lock-up, which gets Owen to flinch just enough so Aries can actually lunge in with a knee to the gut! He lands a few clubbing blows across Cruze’s back before shoving him towards the corner in front of him. Owen grabs the top rope to block any sort of impact, but this doesn’t stop Aries from charging in, only for Owen to springboard off the second turnbuckle and over Aries, and while Giovanni’s able to keep himself from crashing the same way Owen did, it doesn’t stop the airborne Owen from wrapping his arms around Giovanni’s head and pulling him down in a sleeper slam! Aries quickly scrambles to his feet with some assistance from the ropes as Cruze puts some space between them, and Giovanni just shakes his head as he locks eyes with the young man. The close close the distance and Aries lunges in, slipping behind Owen before trying to hook him for a half nelson suplex, but when he tries to lift Owen he shifts his weight and instead pulls Aries down into a victory roll!

1!

Aries quickly kicks out, but as soon as he’s back to his feet he’s taken back to the mat with a hurricanrana! Aries immediately uses the momentum from this to roll out of the ring before stumbling a bit up the ramp. Sam goes to move towards him but Giovanni yells for her to stay put, saying he’s got this… right before he finds himself on the floor courtesy of a suicide senton from Cruze that has the crowd on their feet!

Sharper: “Owen managing to take control early with an explosive start to this match so far!”

Knots: “I doubt he wants to spend too long putting up with Gio’s games tonight. Just take him out and put the Wonderland in the rear view mirror!”

Owen pulls Giovanni to his feet so he can roll him back into the ring before he goes to ascend to the top turnbuckle, pausing only for a moment to make sure Sam isn’t going to try anything. Aries manages to get back to his feet just as Cruze leaps and catches him with a diving hurricanrana, hooking Giovanni’s leg for a pin attempt!

1!

2!

Just after the referee’s hand hits for two, Aries kicks out! Aries crawls over to the corner, the camera catching him looking like he’s muttering something to himself. As he manages to make it back to his feet, Owen leaps onto his back and almost looks like he’s trying for a sleeper hold, but Aries doesn’t let him keep it for long before he violently jerks forward and drives the top of Owen’s skull into the top turnbuckle! Some fans wince at the impact as Cruze releases the sleeper and falls in a heap at Giovanni’s feet. With a crazed look in his eye now, Aries starts to repeatedly stomp away at the back of Owen’s head, yelling that this is what happens to those who don’t listen. The referee manages to grab Aries and forcibly pull him away so he can check on Cruze, who gets up to all fours with a glazed look in his eyes but tries to tell the referee he’s alright… but Aries comes storming in with a nasty punt right to Owen’s gut!

Sharper: “And just like that, all of Owen’s momentum is gone because of one nasty tactic from Gio, who’s starting to swing this match in his favor with his aggression.”

Knots: “Did you see the way he was talking with himself right before that though? You think Jules got sick of Gio getting his ass kicked and decided to take over?”

Cruze manages to crawl into a seated position in the corner, and the referee again checks on him. Owen keeps insisting that he’s good to fight, and before the referee can make any arguments against that he finds himself having to barely get out of the way as Aries comes charging in full steam with a cannonball! He rolls Owen out of the corner and covers him, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Cruze kicks out! Aries shoots up and almost immediately starts pursuing the referee, who quickly scurries out of the ring as Giovanni yells at him, claiming he shouldn’t listen to the Lizard King’s orders to sabotage his efforts and let Owen make this decision for himself. Aries just shakes his head before he slowly pulls Cruze to his feet, pausing momentarily to look him in the eyes, almost as though he’s pleading with Owen to accept his cause to stop his own suffering. Cruze doesn’t answer him right away, so Aries ‘assists’ him to the nearest corner and props him up against the turnbuckles before he jogs towards the other corner. Aries turns and just stares Cruze down before he goes charging full steam, but Cruze manages to dodge the incoming big boot and Giovanni leaves himself straddled on the top turnbuckle! He quickly tries to get himself out of this position, but Owen comes in and ‘helps’ him in the form of a running dropkick that jams him even further, ultimately causing Aries to fall partially to the mat with his foot still resting on the top rope.

Sharper: “Aries almost seemed concerned himself for Owen’s well-being there, though no doubt it’s more because he didn’t want to lose what he thinks is a potential ally in this ‘war’ he’s trying to wage against Mr. D.”

Knots: “You mean the Lizard King?”

Sharper: “I know what I said. Regardless, that moment of hesitation might be about to come back to haunt Aries in a big way!”

Cruze takes a moment to try and clear the cobwebs, still feeling the effects of having his skull driven into the turnbuckle earlier. Aries is back on his feet and lunges at Cruze with a discus forearm, but Owen catches him first with a spinning heel kick! Starting to feel the momentum and with the fans cheering him on, Owen catches a rising Aries with a second spinning heel kick before he hops up to the second rope. Aries manages to get up to his knees, and Owen dives off and catches him with a double knee drop! Owen makes the cover, even hooking both legs.

Aries violently throws his shoulder up! Cruze waits for Aries to start getting to his feet before he runs off the ropes. Aries suddenly bursts back to his feet and swings with a lariat, but Cruze ducks it and bounces off the opposite ropes before catching Aries as he turns around with a yakuza kick! Aries grits his teeth before pounding his hands against the mat in frustration before getting right back up, only for Owen to charge in and plant him with a float over DDT! He goes for another cover.

Aries kicks out!

Sharper: “It looks like Owen may finally be shaking off that nasty blow from earlier, because his speed once again has Aries on the back foot.”

Knots: “You can never be too sure with this guy though. For all we know, Gio could be absorbing punishment to lull Owen into a false sense of security. Maybe he’s trying to get Owen fired up so he can redirect all of this towards fighting for the Wonderland?”

Aries slowly sits up and suddenly bursts into a laughing fit, much to Owen’s confusion. He tries not to put any stock into it before he bounces off the ropes again, but whatever he had planned is stopped as Aries quickly gets back to his feet and springboards off the second rope into a spinning back elbow! Aries wastes little time, hauling Cruze to his feet before trapping his arms and bombarding him with a violent series of headbutts! The fans are booing and some of them even cringe at the sound of Giovanni’s head repeatedly cracking into Owen’s. Aries finally stops and stares into Owen’s eyes as he looks dazed again, almost looking remorseful for his actions.

Aries: “Stop fighting this Owen. Join me and together we can end the reign of the Lizard King! Don’t make him keep doing this to you… think of Jaina…”

Almost as if saying the name of Owen’s girlfriend turned on a lightbulb, a malicious smile suddenly comes to his lips as he bring Owen over to the corner and sets him up on the second turnbuckle, spreading his legs open in the process. He takes several steps back before the referee gets in his way, already seeing what he wants to do and telling him he’ll be disqualified if he goes through with it. Aries shoves him aside, screaming that what happens next is the Lizard King’s fault, before charging forward, but Owen manages to get himself free in time and ducks out onto the apron between the ropes as Aries’ foot collides with nothing but the second turnbuckle! He yells out in agony and limps back a couple of steps before Cruze springboards off the top rope and catches him with a flying forearm!

Sharper: “Thank god Owen avoided that! Aries nearly got himself disqualified all just to try and get his message across to this young man one way or another!”

Knots: “Did you hear what he said? He was trying to make sure the Cruze lineage ended with Owen! Between that and his friend Aaron Blackbourne’s issues with Scarlet Grey, it’s almost like having a girlfriend these days suddenly paints a big target on the front of your tights!”

Owen gets up to his knees, staring down at Giovanni who’s clutching at his foot as he lies on the mat. He shakes his head, trying to ignore what was just said in order to maintain his focus. He pulls Aries up in an inverted facelock before lifting him up and driving him into the mat with an inverted DDT. This gives Owen the opportunity to make his way over to the corner and ascend to the top turnbuckle, pausing only to make sure Giovanni’s still down before he takes to the sky and comes crashing down across Giovanni’s chest with a big frog splash! Cruze goes for the cover, hooking the leg.

Aries gets his foot on the bottom rope! Owen looks stunned by this as Giovanni cries out in agony, having used the foot he slammed into the turnbuckle to break the count. Cruze backs off a bit, measuring Aries as he uses the ropes to help himself back to his feet, and then he charges in for a step-up enzuigiri, but Aries manages to duck it! Owen hits the mat and Aries almost immediately grabs his fingers and snaps them! Many fans cringe and wince at the sound as Owen writhes on the mat in agony, Aries still holding onto his wrist before pulling Cruze up just enough to yank him in, dropping to the mat so Cruze goes tumbling through the ropes and out to the floor. Aries gets back up and briefly breaks into a jog, but stops and cringes when his foot continues to bother him. He sees Cruze start to get up, still trying to shake out his hand, and Aries seems to change tactics as he grabs the second rope and slingshots himself through the ropes into a suicide dive that knocks Cruze back into the barricade!

Sharper: “This match has been extremely back and forth so far, with neither man being able to hang onto the advantage for very long, and it’s starting to take its toll!”

Knots: “Aries doesn’t look like he can keep any weight on that foot after he leveled the turnbuckle with it trying to end Owen’s hopes of having kids, but aside from just having his fingers snapped you’ve got to wonder what kind of damage all those head shots have done to the kid.”

Aries grits his teeth as he tries to shake some feeling back into his foot, again almost like he’s arguing with himself over whether or not to keep punishing Owen. He sees the young man laying on the floor and starting to try and get back up, so he closes the distance and grabs Cruze by the legs before swinging him with The Peyote Experience right into the barricade! A few fans in the front row can actively be heard begging for Giovanni to stop, but he just lets out a wild laugh before swinging Owen into the barricade in the opposite direction! He goes to reverse direction with this more brutal variation on The Peyote Experience again, but instead drops Owen and leans back against the barricade as his foot begins bothering him again, Aries cursing this out as the pay-per-view feed gets a chance to make sure its censors are working properly. Giovanni sees Owen slowly climbing up onto the apron and slides into the ring as quickly as he can before hooking him, lifting him over the top rope and holding him up for a second with the intent of a brainbuster, but he’s forced to let Owen drop behind him as his foot becomes an issue once again, and when he turns around Aries eats a Morality Superkick! Both men crumble to the mat, Owen clearly still feeling the effects of being swung into the barricade several times and unable to capitalize as the referee starts slowly counting both men out.

Sharper: “Morality Superkick out of nowhere! The aggressiveness of Giovanni or Jules or whoever’s driving him right now is starting to haunt him with whatever damage was done to that foot!”

Knots: “That had to be on instinct though, especially after Gio swung Owen like a baseball bat against the barricade!”

Both men slowly start to get back to their feet, breaking the referee’s count. As they start to regain a vertical base, Owen throws a right hand that knocks Giovanni back against the ropes. Aries rebounds and goes to respond with a forearm, but Cruze ducks it before his second attempt at the step-up enzuigiri connects and has Aries falling back into the nearest corner. Seeing an opportunity, Cruze makes his way over to the opposite corner, looking into the nearest camera and saying that this one’s for Aaron before charging full steam and hitting a very familiar double knee smash! Aries falls out of the corner as Owen steps out onto the apron and slowly begins ascending to the top turnbuckle, having to pause a few times to try and clear his head. This results in Aries gingerly making it back to his feet, but this seems like what Owen wanted as he flies off with the Cruze Missile, only for Aries to sidestep and Cruze to crash into the mat! Giovanni grabs Owen’s head and pulls him up, flat out telling him he’s a lost cause now and he belongs to Jules before he violently drives him into the mat with The Bad Trip!

The fans are booing as Aries looks at the downed Cruze, knowing he could pin him before yelling out that this “latest lost soul” to the Lizard King isn’t done suffering yet. He rolls out onto the apron before climbing to the top rope, albeit very slowly as that foot is still bothering him. It seems like he’s willing to throw any concern for that out the window as he perchs himself up top, glaring down at Cruze before letting out an animalistic roar and leaping off to take Owen Down The Rabbit Hole… except Cruze rolls towards the corner and Aries stomps nothing but the mat! Giovanni rolls through but immediately crumbles to his knees as his foot gives out on him, and the next thing he knows Owen is exploding out of the corner and driving his face into the mat with the Cruze Stomp! Owen rolls him over and collapses on top of him for a cover, just barely hooking a leg near the end of the count.

The bell rings and Southpaw Swagger's 'It's Showtime' hits the speakers again as the fans roar. The referee helps Cruze to his feet before raising his arm in victory, taking a moment to make sure he’s alright as Owen just smiles and says that he is now that it’s over.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Owen Cruze!”

Sharper: “That match got hard to watch at some points, but ultimately the damage Giovanni caused to himself with that missed corner low blow became his literal Achilles heel and Owen was able to capitalize.”

Knots: “This kid’s really started to find himself on the right track as 2018 begins to wind down, and that could mean some big opportunities are just waiting on the horizon for him.”

Cruze slowly climbs out of the ring and makes his way to the back, still looking a little out of it but more than aware enough of his surroundings to give a few high fives along the way as the referee checks on Giovanni, who despite clutching at his foot adamantly yells out his refusal to let one of the “Lizard King’s saboteurs” tend to him.

A recap video shows how this unique five on five elimination match came to be.

Street Legacy vs. Beauty Factory

Five on Five Elimination Rules

“Just A Dream” by Nelly plays throughout the arena, a gold spotlight with blue flashers begin to circle the entranceway. The Truelove Twins, London and Paris Truelove walk out holding hands with Laura Steinbeck. Ikiro Yoshida steps out after them and looks around. Following him is Dante McCaffery and LEO before Dante glances back as Xander Valentine saunters out last. The crowd boos seeing the group of them.

Phillips: “The following contest is the five on five elimination match with a one hour time-limit. First, on their way to the ring, they are accompanied by Laura Steinbeck and LEO, they are Dante McCaffery, Xander Valentine, Ikiro Yoshida and London and Paris, the Truelove Twins!”

Dante and Laura look at one another as Ikiro stretches out a bit. Xander scans the arena. They then start to head to the ring as group. Laura and Dante lead everyone down as they reach the ring.

The Twins both get to the apron at the same time, Paris & London both hold the ropes for Laura as she slowly gets in the ring, London follows showing off her “assets.” London then holds the ropes for Paris as she slowly gets in the ring shaking her “assets” and winking in the camera.

They both walk to the turnbuckles, climb to the second ropes and pose for the flashes while Laura stands in the middle of the ring and points to the Truelove Twins. Dante walks around the ring after he enters as Ikiro slides in and rolls to his knee. He looks around as Xander grabs the top rope and pulls himself onto the apron. He steps over the top rope and into the ring. He then looks around the ring, looking around him at the talent that will make up his team.

Sharper: “The partnership between the Beauty Factory and the Network on display. A business arrangement here and one to give the Beauty Factory what they want and the Network, the funds to keep doing what they do.”

Knots: “They’ve gone after the wrong group of people. I know Xander is dangerous. I know Ikiro is as focused as ever. I know the Trueloves could be the World Tag Team Champions, but you don’t mess with the Street Family.”

Sharper: “The Street Family with one notable absence – Regan Street not on the Street team. Kayl and Cannon were unsure if they could trust her. Kennedy accepted it. But we saw Trinity coming out of Regan’s locker room earlier.”

“Awake & Alive” plays throughout the arena. The lights go out. The video package plays on the Tron of Kennedy Street Posing and wrestling, then Trinity in her Monarchy days, posing on the top rope and followed by action in the ring. The two sisters then stand all posing in front of the camera before the chorus plays on the entrance theme, it then starts to play each of them in action performing their finishers on various opponents.

A single spotlight shines in the entranceway as both Kennedy and Trinity Street come out to the roar of the fans, followed by Donovan Kayl, Chris Cannon and Dylan Howell. The five pose in front of the entranceway looking out to the fans stoically while a chorus of cheers rain down on them. A shower of fireworks streams down behind them before they slowly make their way to the ring, Kennedy clapping hands with fans, Trinity keeping her eye on the ring though taking time to slap a few hands. Kayl is focused on the ring as Cannon high-fives a few fans. Dylan Howell also focused on the ring.

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are Dylan Howell, Chris Cannon, Donovan Kayl, Trinity Street and Kennedy Street, the Street Legacy!”

As they reach the apron, Kayl hops onto the apron and holds the ropes open as Trinity looks at him and enters. Kennedy is next. Chris enters on another part of the ring as Kayl and Howell look at one another before Howell nods and enters. Kayl enters last. The crowd roars as Trinity takes off her entrance attire. Kayl does the same and Kennedy looks across to the Beauty Factory and the Network. Chris stretches using the ropes as Dylan Howell looks across at Xander.

Sharper: “A lot of talent in that ring. Former Champion, US Champions, Tag Champions.”

Knots: “And a lot of hatred too.”

The referee tries to get the teams to determine their starting members first as Kennedy Street starts to talk to everyone and Trinity pats her on the back before exiting the ring. Kayl, Cannon and Howell oblige, allowing Kennedy to start. Dante immediately exits as Xander does too. London and Paris follow, allowing Ikiro to be the last one in the ring and the one starting. The crowd roars as the bell then starts. Ikiro steps out, leading with his leg as Kennedy watches him.

Sharper: “Here we go. Kennedy Street and Ikiro Yoshida starting this one off!”

Knots: “Come on Kennie!”

Ikiro and Kennedy continue to watch one another before Ikiro moves in with a straight forearm shot, but Kennedy hits a straight kick to the ribs. Ikiro winces and Kennedy moves in and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another. She grabs Ikiro and pulls her in by the arm and wrenches it. Ikiro winces.

She then grabs him and pulls him out and goes to whip him across. Ikiro spins through and sends her in. She bounces off and nails Ikiro with a flying forearm. Ikiro hits the mat.

The crowd boos as Xander pulls himself up. Trinity and Kennedy then start to talk to one another.

Phillips: “Chris Cannon has been eliminated.”

Sharper: “Trinity Street and Kennedy Street all that are left for the Street’s here. Beauty Factory and Network have Xander, Dante, London and Paris.”

Xander then stands in the ring as Kennedy and Trinity continue to talk. Trinity then starts to get in and the crowd roars. London and Paris back away and Xander looks at Trinity. Trinity steps up to Xander. Xander then goes to nail her, but Trinity ducks and she kicks him in the thigh and then again, but just as she goes to run into the ropes, we see London and Paris running around the ring and jumping up and grabbing Kennedy. Kennedy kicks one, but the other grabs her and pulls her down and right into the barricade.

Knots: “Hey! Hey! What the hell?!”

Sharper: “London! Paris! They’re going for Kennedy! Trinity in the ring! They’re trying to take out Kennedy!”

London and Paris then grab her and run her face first into the steel steps in the Street Family corner. The crowd ohs and boos as Kennedy falls to the mats. The official drops to the floor as Trinity exits to the floor and quickly nails London with a hard right. She staggers off as Paris and her back off. Trinity turns back and checks on Kennedy. We notice a gash over the left eye of Kennedy. Trinity then turns back as Xander walks over and grabs her by the hair and pulls her up. Xander then turn and pulls her up and hip tosses her into the ring. The crowd ohs and Trinity rolls over. Xander follows and stalks her before hitting a back elbow. He then grabs her and turns and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Xander lifts her up for a military press, but Trinity shifts her feet. She lands behind Xander.

Knots: “Does she know?”

Knots: “Trying to get to Kennedy though, but Kennedy’s hurt too. That looks like a nasty gash.”

Trinity rolls over. She starts to go for the corner. Dante however grabs her leg. He tries to pull it back and Trinity starts to hop up on her other leg before she smirks and flips through and Dante falls through, falling face first into Kennedy’s boot as she pulls it up.

Blake Mason vs. Cassidy Carter

Number One Contendership for the SCW World Championship

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

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

Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out to a barrage of boos. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. Ace Marshall walks out with her. Cassidy throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the booing masses.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for the number one contendership to the SCW World Championship. First, accompanied by Ace Marshall, she is from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Duchess of Debauchery, Cassidy Carter!”

She makes her way down the ramp, now in full spirits, not really focusing on anything, her arrogance and lack of real concern or worries showing in spades. She reaches the apron before pulling herself up using the bottom rope for support. Ace enters the ring. Standing along it Cassidy raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. Ace admires her as Cassidy’s self admiration and confidence continuing to be on full display for the world to grovel in. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side. She appears to be becoming slightly impatient now in her comfortable spot waiting for this ordeal to begin and be over with. Ace exits to the apron.

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter is about to be in arguably her biggest match. She claimed it by virtue of being second in the battle royal that AJ Helms won. AJ injured and Cassidy did not hesitate to take advantage.”

Knots: “She’ll get her shot, but she has to deal with Blake Mason. And all of this why she wants gold for the paycheque. With everything said between her and Blake and her at Sienna, she may act like she can talk the talk, but time to walk the walk.”

“The Memory Remains” by Metallica starts to play. The crowd erupts in cheers. Blake steps up and takes a moment to looks down to the ring. He then starts to make his way down to the ring.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

The crowd cheers more. Reaching the steel steps, he walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Without the normal theatrics that have defined him over the past few year, Blake opts to lean against the turnbuckle, the expression on his face, stoic. He remains there until the match starts.

Sharper: “Blake Mason all business. Very different from Cassidy who practically danced on her way to the ring. Also, add Ace. This could be a tough match for Blake.”

Knots: “Yeah. Lord knows Ace will probably get involved.”

Sharper: “But let’s not count out Cassidy. For all of her antics, she is a hell of a wrestler when she’s been focused. And Blake, this is his hometown. He wants to walk out here with a big moment.”

The bell sounds as the crowd cheers and immediately a “Let’s Go Mason!” chant begins to echo throughout the arena. Blake looks around and smiles a bit as Cassidy rolls her eyes. The chants continue as Blake and Cassidy circle the ring before Ace suddenly grabs the microphone.

Ace: “Geez! The city is really embracing mediocrity these days aren’t they!”

A recap video shows Josh Hudson’s Trios Tournament cash in, the history between Josh Hudson and Sienna Swann and Swann’s responses on recent editions of Breakdown.

Josh Hudson vs. Sienna Swann

SCW World Championship

“Judas” begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, wearing a zip up jacket. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring. He embraces the positive reaction with outstretched arms as he makes his way down the ramp, his body turned sideways as he faces the crowd with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, shouting, "I'm the best at what I do!!!" before turning and sitting against the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson using his Trios Tournament contract to get this match and in the process, he gave the deathblow to PPF.”

Knots: “And just like that, made an enemy of the people he was trying to help for the last year and a half. All to become the World Champion again.”

Sharper: “You wonder what he’s thinking, what Sienna’s thinking about what we just saw with Syren. Controversy there, but no surprise. And all with Katya in the middle of it.”

Knots: “If they’re smart, they focus on this match, not that, just because if not, either one could take advantage and walk away champion!”

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style” by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs. Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd boos her. The SCW World Championship is around her waist. Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her, Laura making sure that they take plenty of pics of The Beautiful Angel before making her way to the ring, Laura instructs the Twins to follow her to the ring as she disappears to the back with the photographers. Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around. She continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide. She looks up to the rafters as a gold spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to rain down on the entire arena. Sienna smirks and hops into the ring, spreading her arms out and smiling before taking off her wings from help of the Twins, they make their way out of the ring and to the back while Sienna stands back in the corner.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann out here alone. Trueloves leaving.”

Knots: “Going to prove to Josh that he made the biggest mistake of his career!”

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall, with a one hour time limit and is for the SCW World Championship!”

The SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Phillips: “First, the challenger, from New York City, New York, he is the SCW Hall of Famer and the 2018 Trios Tournament winner, Josh Hudson!”

Josh Hudson steps up and throws his arms up in the air. He then smirks as he looks across at Sienna. The crowd cheers as the camera focuses on him for a few moments longer.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Johannesburg, South Africa, representing the Beauty Factory, she is the reigning and defending SCW World Champion, the IronAngel, the Real Perfect Ten, Sienna Swann!”

Sienna Swann steps out to the middle of the ring and poses in the middle of it with the SCW World Championship around her waist. She just looks up for a moment before turning and looking at Josh before stepping back, undoing the title belt and handing it to the official. Senior official Aaron Demitra holds the title over his head as the crowd roars. He then turns and hands off the title.

Sharper: “Both Josh and Sienna, giving a look that both know what it means. Sienna’s no longer an ally of Josh and vice-versa. And Josh has been mentoring Sienna for so long.”

Knots: “One of many and Sienna has been damn near unstoppable. Perfect. But Josh…he’s been on a tear as of late.”

Sharper: “Only significant blip…losing the TV title to Konrad Raab.”
