The crowd roars as the scene cuts to the inside of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pyro shoots out from the entrance and into the air as sparks flash all over. The display continues for a few moments longer before we cut to a shot of the crowd as spotlights circle. The cameras pan showing the SCW fans excited and ready for action.

Gavin Taylor vs. Asher Hayes

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.
 
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show
 
And the song continues as the crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.
 
Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
 
Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out of the ring while holding onto the top rope. The song continues as Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out. Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he watches for his opponent.
 
Sharper: “The opening match is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship. Gavin Taylor standing in the ring now. His agent got this match signed and he’s shown his true colors leading up to tonight.”
 
Knots: “Trying to get Clyde Sutter to soften him up isn’t that bad. Right?”
 
Sharper: “I don’t know. Why don’t you ask this man?
 
The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Rope" by the Foo Fighters echo throughout the arena. At the 13 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the sound system. As the arena lights return to normal, Asher appears on the stage, the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder. He makes his way down the ramp as the cheers of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists, along with the Adrenaline Championship, into the air, saluting the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side, replicating the same salute, showing the title off as the crowd’s response grows. Asher drops down from the top, looking at Gavin as he hands the championship to the ref.
 
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship! Introducing the first, the challenger he is the All-Star…GAVIN! TAYLOR!!!”
 
The crowd boos. Gavin smirks.
 
Phillips: “And the SCW Adrenaline Champion….he is ASHER! HAYES!”

Sharper: “Knowing him, he’s fighting through it. That is what the Adrenaline title and the division mean to him.”
 
Asher gets to his feet and grabs Gavin and whips him into the apron.
 
Ref: “1…2…3…4…”
 
Asher rolls Gavin into the ring and follows inside. Asher grabs Gavin and goes to whip him across the ring, but Gavin reverses, before pulling Asher close and driving his knee into the abdomen. Gavin then steps behind Asher and drives a forearm into the lower back. Asher winces as he stumbles forward.
 
Sharper: “Gavin turning things around and going right for the back.”
 
Gavin hits another forearm to the lower back, as Asher falls into the ropes. Gavin is shown to mock Asher, grabbing at his own lower back, as the crowd boos, causing Gavin to throw his head back and laugh.

Asher rolls over onto his stomach and goes to push himself up, but Gavin turns and drops a double axe handle into the lower back. Asher drops to the mat. Gavin begins to stomp on Asher’s back.
 
Knots: “Gavin doing damage to the champ’s back.”
 
Asher rolls over again, and Gavin grabs his legs, lifting them up. Gavin stomps down into Asher’s midsection.
 
Sharper: “Gavin driving his boot into Asher’s sternum, putting all he can into it.
 
Gavin maintains his grip on Asher’s legs, before flipping him over, locking in a Boston Crab. The ref immediately checks on Asher as he reaches toward the ropes. Asher makes the slow crawl towards the ropes but just as he reaches he’s pulled back into the ring.

Knots: “Again, focusing on that back of Asher.”

Sharper: “Asher Hayer’s being methodically slowed here.”

Asher manages toss himself over. He shoves Gavin with both his legs. Gavin stumbles back into the ropes as Asher nips up. Right when Gavin rebounds forward, he walks into a perfectly timed superkick He stands there for a moment, as if frozen in time before falling backwards.

Sharper: “Out of now where, Gavin walks right into a super kick.”

Sharper: “Cover!”

Sharper: “The challenger kicks out again!”

Gavin holds his jaw as he pushes himself to his feet but right away he’s dealt with a hard elbow from Asher Hayes. He falls back against the ropes. Asher comes running forward, but he’s dumped over. Asher floats onto the apron. Gavin spins around and decks him with an elbow of his own. Asher staggers, holding onto the top rope to avoid falling off. He throws himself forward with an elbow of his own. Before Gavin stumbles back, he’s dragged through the middle rope, his torso now resting onto the middle rope. Asher backpedals across the ring apron, drilling Gavin with a running knee. The crowd explodes as Gavin is launched back into the center of the ring.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor is taking a beating right now from Asher Hayers.”

Knots: “Asher Hayes is climbing to the top rope. He’s going to put some more adrenaline into this division. Let see how well that works out for him.”

Sharper: “High risk!”

Asher Hayes takes flight, leaping high into the sky before coming down onto the chest of Gavin Taylor with a double foot stomp off the top rope. Gavin leaps to his feet, holding his chest in pain, Asher Hayes approach him for a suplex but Gavin manages to slip him into an inside cradle.

Sharper: “Pin!”

Asher Hayes rushes to his feet and charges forward. Swing and a missed punch later, Gavin ducks around. Asher Hayes turns and his second strike is blocked, followed by a toe kick to the gut. Gavin fires a right hand, garnering a warning from the referee. Asher Hayes falters back, now up against the ropes. He pushes forward, bumps chest to chest onto Gavin.

Sharper: “Gavin has taken control of this match. We might be seeing a new SCW Adrenaline Champion right here.”

Knots: “The assault to the back. The focus of the challenger. Asher Hayes is showing that he is eager…”

Sharper: “And we know the man’s tough, but he’s trying to bullrush his way to victory and that might not work here tonight. Gavin Taylor is locked in.”

Gavin Taylor steps out onto the outside onto the apron while Asher Hayes is pulling himself to the feet using the ropes. Gavin steps up with an elbow to his face but Hayes responds with his own elbow. This one shakes Gavin Taylor. Hayes quickly fastens a headlock of sorts but Taylor lifts him up and over for a backdrop suplex right onto the apron. The crowd boos at the sight,.

Asher is forces to his feet and rolled into the ring. Gavin immediately goes for the pin:

Sharper: “Cover! Hook of the leg!”

Knots: “No! Asher Hayes gets his shoulder up.”

Sharper: “Credit the resilience of the champion here. He does not want to drop that belt after all he had to do to earn it.”

Gavin drags Asher towards the center of the ring by his legs but Asher manages to his legs free. Gavin reaches over to grab them again, obviously looking for that boston crab but Asher reaches up, dragging Gavin forward, right into a headlock. Gavin Taylor stumps over, trying to escape but falls more into Asher. Gavin swings his arms but Asher loosens the hold, Gavin turns his back now to Asher but there’s a dragon sleeper slapped in. Gavin looks to fade fast!

Sharper: “This is it! Gavin Taylor is out!”

Knots: “No way!”

Sharper: “Wait a minute, Gavin is alive. He’s now trying to kick his way, his right foot reaching the bottom rope.”

The referee orders Asher Hayes to break the hold and he reluctantly does so. Gavin holds his throat and neck stumbling over to the corner. Gavin comes running towards Asher. Asher tosses him up onto his shoulder, death valley driver into the center of the ring. Gavin holds his neck while Asher steps back into the corner and begins to stalk Gavin Taylor.

Knots: “Not enough. He’s going to have to go and try one of his finishers to seal the deal. Gavin wants that Adrenaline title.”

Asher Hayes returns, going back to his stalking, waiting for Gavin to find his feet. He comes running forward but Gavin pulls the referee in between. Asher manages to stop but he’s visibily upset because he couldn’t hit the Dust to Dust. The referee and Asher gets into an argument and behind his back, brass knuckles are pulled out.

Sharper: “What the hell?!”

Knots: “Gavin is using every trick in the book!”

As Asher now tries to fight through the referee, he is caught off guard by a hard right by Gavin.

Sharper: “No.. no… no!”

Knots: “I’m impressed.”

Sharper: “Gavin’s going to rob Asher of his title!”

Asher drops into the arms of the referee, basically tackling the referee. Gavin returns the knuckles to his pocket, frees the referee from underneath the dead weight of Asher and hooks the leg:

Sharper: “The cover…”

Knots: “We have a new Adrenaline Champion!”

 

The crowd roars and boos as Gavin rolls off. He jumps up and falls over before the official is handed the title and hands it to him. Gavin takes it and embraces it before holding it over his head. Asher Hayes rolls over in pain as Gavin rolls to the floor. He jumps up, his arms in the air.

 

Sharper: “Using a foreign object, Gavin Taylor wins the SCW Adrenaline Championship!”

 

Knots: “He did whatever he needed. Asher Hayes couldn’t block it all. Couldn’t fight through it all!”

 

Sharper: “I hope Gavin is pleased-“

 

Knots: “Looks like it to me!”

 

Gavin continues to celebrate as he holds the title over his head. The crowd boos him as he looks around. He then smiles as he backs up, pointing to himself. Asher slowly looks up and crawls towards the ropes, refusing to stay down as the scene cuts way.

 

Backstage, we open up with a shot of Sienna Swann, proudly holding the SCW World Championship with Spirit Dansby with her.

 

Spirit: “Spirit Dansby here and I’m with the SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann. Tonight, you can make clear that this year should have been yours. You can eliminate three other contenders. What does this night mean for you?”

 

Sienna smiles.

 

Sienna: “Beyond the obvious that I’m going to do whatever I need to to win the World Championship, this farce by Sasha to make sure I don’t walk out champion is going to blow up in her face. I have beaten Owen. I have beaten Syren. I will beat James Evans. And the roster can be out there, trying to stop me, but I will make sure one way or another I will walk out champion and Sasha better respect this!”

 

Sienna pauses.

 

Sienna: “I’m looking for to this. I’m going to stand tall and NO ONE can stop me. Not tonight. Sasha wanted Clarity. After tonight, she’s going to need to find some new contenders and I will be standing tall to END 2019!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Sienna smiles at the camera.

 

Spirit: “Now let’s go to Jessica Winters who is standing by with Syren…”

 

Sienna: “She can’t follow me!”

 

Sienna smirks as we cut away.

 

The crowd boos loudly again as Syren can be seen standing next to Jessica Winters. CHBK stands behind her.

 

Jessica: “Syren, Sienna Swann sounds confident. But this match is not just about the World Championship for you. It’s about revenge and retribution-“

 

Syren: “And destroying James Evans. He tried to end my career. He tried to take me out!”

 

The crowd cheers loudly hearing this.”

 

Syren: “Yeah, these sick bastards in Philly can cheer, but you’re just JEALOUS that I am THAT good. James had to try and take me out because he’s scared of me. Well tonight, I’m going to kick his ass and take him out of title contention. Sienna can be all confident and whatever. I’ve beaten her twice this year and I plan to do it again, tonight and Sienna can complain some more. Tonight, I win the title for an eighth time and do it through the path of three others who want to judge me and take me out. I don’t think so. You can just cry when you watch me as World Champion ONE MORE TIME!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Jessica: “Back to the ring.”

 

The scene cuts away.

 

Scarlet Grey vs. Rachel Tatum Lee

 

“Nymphetamine” (Deva-Fix) begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp, putting every runway model in existence to shame without even actually trying.
 
Phillips: “The following Contest is a United States Number One Contenders match with the winner facing the Champion at the End of the Year Special and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 135 lbs., Here is “The Red Queen” Scarlet Grey!
 
She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off not only her ample display of cleavage but also the greatest ass god himself ever created for a woman. Once she's in the ring she waits in the corner, eyes moving over to the referee with a look that's just begging for him to come over and 'inspect' her for foreign objects.
 
Sharper: “Scarlet Grey demanded a chance and Sasha gave it to her against the red-hot Rachel Tatum Lee. The winner gets a shot at the United States Championship at the End of the Year Special against either Bree Lancaster or Katie Steward.”
 
Knots: “If Scarlet survives RTL, the cowgirl is at her most dangerous, she is not happy that Katie was given a Championship Match, Scarlet keeps throwing it in everyone’s face that she injured Datura, well, as talented and seductive as Scarlet is, she may join her.”
 
The arena goes dark....
 
A burning Doll House is shown with melting figurines inside it, some hanging in the various rooms of that House….
 
Laughter then can be heard as the chimes of "Blue" by The Birthday Massacre begins to play throughout the arena....
 
The black and white video tron begins to play of a shadowy figure looking into the camera in a grungy feel to the video, a scream is heard as then the face of Rachel Tatum Lee with her eyes widen, smiling while laughing.……
 
Suddenly the dark figure known as Rachel Tatum Lee wearing an all-black studded leather trench coat, gloves, matching Stetson and a noose with a cowbell at the end of it around her neck walks out also sporting a Hannibal like black half leather studded mask. She stops in the entrance way and for a long pause looks around at the arena which she is showered in both cheers ….
 
Phillips: Her opponent, hails from Laredo, TX! Weighing in at 130 lbs.! “The Violent Kind” Rachel Tatum Lee!
 
She slowly walks to the ring, her long dark brown hair hangs down her back while gripping her noose and stopping a few times again to look at the crowd even making eye contact to some until she reaches the ring.
 
Once Rachel Tatum Lee gets to the apron the crazy cowgirl takes off her mask where she stands smiling sadistically, crawling into the ring and sitting in the corner nonchalantly as they announce her....
 
Rachel with her hat still on just simply looks around listening to the chorus of cheers and boos, she starts to laugh some with her eyes creepily widen and keeping her focus on the opponent…..
 
She slowly grabs the ropes and brings herself up and takes off her gear, holding the noose up in the air while standing in the middle of the ring with a scowl on her face getting a reaction from the crowd....
 
Lee slowly brings her arm and noose down ready for her opponent, Scarlet.
 
Sharper: “Have you ever seen her more intense, she knows what is at stake, Rachel has been on the path to a collision course with Bree Lancaster, there are still a lot of variables that must factor in here, but Rachel looks to be a singles Champion again.”
 
Knots: “She does and Scarlet has been impressive, seems like a renaissance for her but she picked the wrong time to rise like Rachel said, she needs to be smarter and more violent than Rachel tonight, if she gets a United States Championship match, she’s going to have to go to Hell to get it.”
 
Rachel and Scarlet both get checked out by the referee as the female official calls for the bell and the start of the match. They circle the ring to tie up but Scarlet instead squeezes her chest out and presses, then licking her finger and smearing it on Rachel’s lips when she suddenly starts forearming her repeatedly, backing Grey to the ropes, she Irish Whips her and hits a thunderous back body drop where the much larger Grey crashes to the mats. Rachel runs toward her with a flying forearm, then another as Scarlet rolls out of the ring. She starts to walk around but Rachel goes right after her as the referee starts the count….
 
(1)Rachel grabs her and throws Scarlet toward the barricade, the fans roar. (2)Rachel grabs Scarlet by the hair and slams her head into the apron, she stumbles back. (3)Rachel takes Scarlet and throws her back in the ring, she rolls in after her, Scarlet quickly crawls to the corner where Rachel goes to grab her again but she takes Rachel by the waistline and slams her head first into the turnbuckle, Rachel staggers back and Scarlet comes in with a running boot knocking the Cowgirl to the mat.
 
Sharper: “Rachel took the early control, but Scarlet was clever there, grabbing Rachel by the belt and jeans, slamming her into the buckle and stopping her momentum.”
 
Knots: “Yeah and that’s just going to piss her off more!”
 
Scarlet goes for a cover.

Knots: “I don’t think Rachel is here to play.”
 
Sharper: “She’s definitely not. Scarlet continues to play games, and they may not pan out well for her. Rachel wants this.”
 
Knots: “She does, but so far, she’s been on the defensive for quite some time now.”
 
Scarlet licks her lips and blows Rachel a kiss, motioning for her to get up. Rachel is shown rubbing her jaw as she slowly stands to her feet.
 
Sharper: “That look says it all. Rachel knows Scarlet is the main obstacle in her way of getting a title shot.”
 
Knots: “Scarlet seems confident as well. She’s proven to be deadly when she’s focused. Its going to come down to who wants it more.”
 
Rachel lunges forward, as does Scarlet as they tie up. Scarlet drives her knee into Rachel’s ribs, as Rachel hunches over a bit. Scarlet begins to connect with forearms, backing Rachel into the ropes. Scarlet goes for another forearm, but she quickly lands a kiss on Rachel’s lips. Rachel shoves her back. Scarlet is shown laughing and mocking Rachel.
 
Sharper: “Rachel could explode at any moment. If she does, it could work against her.”
 
Rachel nods before charging and leaping onto Scarlet. They fall to the mat. Rachel grabs Scarlet by the hair and slams her head into the mat, before driving a forearm into the side of the head. Rachel rolls over and gets to her feet. She grabs Scarlet, pulling her up from the mat. She whips her into the corner and follows up with a flying forearm smash.

The crowd roars even louder as the ref calls for the bell. “Blue” begins to blare through the speakers as Rachel gets to her feet.
 
Phillips: “Here is your winner and the number one contender to the SCW United States Championship…RACHEL TATUM LEE!!!”
 
The ref lifts Rachel’s hand in the air, before she begins to celebrate in the ring. The cameras show Scarlet slowly stirring, as Rachel is then show climbing to the top rope, saluting the crowd, before we cut away.

 

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage again to Spirit Dansby. Spirit?”

 

The camera cuts backstage to see Spirit standing next to Owen Cruze. The crowd erupts in boos seeing him.

 

Spirit: “Thank you Adam. I’m here with Owen Cruze who is going to attempt to win the World Championship tonight and all while trying to do it honourably. But Owen, you can’t really image that’s going to work?”

 

Owen: “You know what Spirit…”

 

The crowd boos as Owen speaks.

 

Owen: “You can be your booster for Sienna, but the fact of the matter is that if that’s a champion, we have a problem. I’ve said so many times that she’s got the skill. Same as Syren. The problem is that both care more about being champion, than acting like one. And tonight, I may have one of my last chances at the title for a while. I held it. The second youngest in SCW history. And people are going to talk about me wanting it more. But I’ve held a title my father didn’t even get a chance to. I take great pride in that. I take great pride in standing alongside people like Aaron, like Peyton, like Alistaire, who try to do this right! Who try to compete? This isn’t a PR move. This isn’t some way to inflate one’s importance. It’s about doing what is right. And tonight, I am going to do whatever I can to walk out champion and make sure three people who have made it clear that they don’t care about the tradition of this sport…they won’t hold the title.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Spirit: “Thank you Owen. Now, to Jessica Winters.”

 

The scene shifts to show Jessica Winters with James Evans who is greeted by massive cheers from the Philadelphia fans.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Spirit. I am here with James Evans and we’ve heard from everyone else and you’ve got an issue with most. But especially Syren and Sienna Swann.”

 

James: “And they’ll be shutting up a lot if I have my way. They have their whole being attached to the World Title. Well I’m sick of it. So tonight, I’m going to do the one thing I know I can do. Kick ass. And Sienna and Syren can talk about being the greatest. Owen Cruze can try to fight until his balls drop and he realizes how the real world works. And I’m going to walk out of Clarity the World Champion. Syren can threaten to kick my ass. Don’t worry, Syren. When I’m done, you’ll be finding out that you picked the wrong fight and no matter how many Infamous members are at ringside, it won’t matter. Same to you Sienna. Bring Chrissy…I don’t care…I’m going to walk through everyone and win. Got it?”

 

The crowd roars as James walks off. Jessica watches him leave.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

 

Glory Braddock & Peyton Rice vs. Clyde Sutter & Abigail Lindsay

 

A loud purrrrrrrrrring engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of "Wreak Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Abigail Lindsay.
 
Phillips: “From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at one hundred and fifty-five pounds, Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay.”
 
She places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her helmet. She hops on the apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg off, then drops down in a full split. she slides under the bottom rope. She slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start.
 
Sharper: “Huge tag team match and talk about this being personal. Abigail has been the culprit of quite a few distractions and attacks on both Glory Braddock and Peyton rice. Abigail is cunning and with such a brute like Clyde Sutter in her corner, this is one match that Peyton and Glory better be ready for a war.”
 
Knots: “Clyde Sutter might murder someone tonight and Abigail will just smile while she does it.”
 
The lights in the arena go out as the opening chords of “Unforgiven” by Metallica begins to play.  As the song picks up its pace a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp and we see “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter standing there with a sinister grin on his face.  He is flanked by his agent, Mason Van Stanton, who smirks arrogantly out at the crowd who showers both men with booing and jeering.  After a few moments of soaking in the crowd reaction, which he seems to enjoy despite their booing, Sutter begins his slow walk down the ramp, with Van Stanton following closely behind.
 
Phillips: “Her partner, from Raleigh, NC. Weighing in at 280 lbs.! Accompanied to the ring by Mason van Stanton…. “The Assassin” Clyde Sutter!”
 
The spotlight follows the sinister sociopath as he approaches the ring; Sutter then foregoes the steel steps as he leaps up from the floor to the ring apron.  Mason applauds from the outside as he uses the steel steps to join his client on the ring apron.  With the spotlight remaining only on them as one of the few lights in the arena at the moment, Sutter and Van Stanton enter the ring and then stand in the center.  Van Stanton applauds his client while the fans continue to show their displeasure.  The sound of Metallica dies down and the lights come back on.
 
Sharper: “A very dangerous man and one of the reasons this match is happening, kicked out of the Glenn Braddock School while training, then he took out Alistair Allocco to injury and that fueled the ire of Peyton Rice who has been extremely vocal about the constant attacks in SCW.”
 
Knots: “He’s pissing everyone off and not Abigail with him is only going to make him worse.”
 
The arena goes dark before a lone spotlight shines on the entrance, suddenly the opening beats to “All The Days" by Mammoth play throughout the arena as the beautiful Peyton Rice walks out in wrestling gear and jacket. Her long dark blonde hair hanging down. She looks around at the crowd before getting to one knee and making a line across the entrance, she crosses her arms and lowers her head for a moment before standing up and pointing to the ring as the crowd roars.
 
With her gorgeous and contagious smile, Peyton starts to walk to the ring, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up, she then thanks the fans while being announced….
 
Phillips: “Their opponents! First, from Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”
 
The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner and awaiting for Glory and the match to begin…..
 
Knots: Nothing but big things for this woman.”
 
Sharper: “Kennedy told you to say that, didn’t she?”
 
Knots: “No…. maybe. She does look ready, her face says it all.”rst chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...)
The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...
 
Phillips: “And her partner, hailing from London, England, weighing in at 120 lbs., she is “The British Bombshell” Glory Braddock!
 
Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp.
 
It's burning down, it's burning high
when ashes fall the legends rise
We burned it out oh my oh why
When ashes fall the legends rise
 
Throat is dry, my vision's fading
I'm paralyzed and left here waiting
Taking time just one step forward
Won't lose my mind, I'm here to stay
 
The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring.  Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly...
 
Sharper: “Glory and Peyton need to be on the same page to survive this match and with everything happening between these four, Glory wants to end this and moved on, Peyton wants to send a message and climb the ladder, but Clyde and Abigail look to prevent it.
 
Knots: “They do, Peyton has a lot to fight for, Glory has a message to send, Clyde and Abi look to make their own statements, this will be a war.”
 
Glory and Peyton talk strategy as the referee checks both contenders. Glory starts off with Abigail as both Clyde and Peyton go to their corners. The referee calls for the bell and the match begins. Glory steps forward and delivers a knife edge chop. Abigail staggers back a bit. She turns before delivering her own knife edge chop.
 
Knots: “These two wasting no time in trying to harm the other.”
 
Sharper: “Lot of animosity between these two. Hell, there’s animosity everywhere in this match.”
 
Glory turns and hits another knife edge chop. Abigail staggers once again, before turning and going for a knife edge chop, only to connect with a poke to the eye. Glory can be hard groaning in pain as she covers her left eye and grabs at the ropes.
 
Knots: “Do you think she saw that coming?”
 
Sharper: “Maybe, maybe not. I know she damn sure felt it.”
 
Abigail hits a clubbing forearm to the back of Glory’s head, before grabbing her and whipping her into the corner. Glory hits hard and stumbles out of the corner, just as Abigail runs and connects with a running knee. Glory falls to the mat and Abigail goes for the cover.

Abigail rolls over and throws an arm over Peyton. The ref drops down and begins the count.
 
Sharper: “Glory being told to leave the ring and Clyde took advantage.”

Peyton buckles, but Clyde grabs her and pulls her into the center of the ring. He drives his knee into her abdomen. Peyton doubles over, before Clyde grabs her and goes to lift her up for a back body drop, but Peyton floats over, landing on her feet. She looks a little wobbly.
 
Sharper: “Peyton may not have fully recovered. She could be acting on pure instinct.”
 
Clyde turns around and Peyton jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. Clyde staggers back as Peyton charges, connecting with a flying forearm smash. Clyde staggers some more, but keeps his balance.

Knots: “As we all know, he’s made enemies with not only Glory but Peyton as well.”
 
Sharper: “If this match was any indication, he has a rough road ahead.”
 
The cameras shown Peyton and Glory celebrating some more, before we cut away.

 

Backstage, we cut to see Jessica Winters with Sasha backstage outside of her office.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with the owner of SCW, and Sasha, a lot of questions-“

 

Sasha: “And answers will come. Don’t worry. I know a lot of people are wondering about the situation with Xander. Some items are out of my control, but a resolution was possible.”

 

Jessica: “Well that takes care of one issue as Selena Frost has been quite vocal about how she is not happy Xander is back.”

 

Sasha: “And I will speak with her when I have a chance.”

 

Jessica: “This leads me to something specific to tonight…we have nothing planned for End of the Year Special. Normally we announce the potential candidates for the End of the Year Title Shot and who can be voted on. Is that still happening?”

 

Sasha nods.

 

Sasha: “Unfortunately not.”

 

Jessica: “But it’s been a tradition for years.”

 

Sasha: “The Board of Directors has agreed on something different. And despite my best efforts, it will no return for tonight.”

 

Jessica: “So who will challenge for the World Championship?”

 

Sasha shrugs.

 

Sasha: “That…you’ll have to wait and see. But you will know by the end of the night.”

 

Jessica: “A bit cryptic. Any hint?”

 

Sasha: “Sorry…Enjoy the rest of the show.”

 

Sasha turns and returns to her office.

 

Jessica: “A bit less forthcoming than we’d like. Clearly some big decisions have been made as of late.”

 

We cut back to the ring.

 

Katie Steward vs. Bree Lancaster

SCW United States Championship

 

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the SCW United States Championship! Introducing first, the challenger......

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Queen:” by Loren Gray plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold ring robe and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage behind her.

Phillips: “From Los Angeles, California and being accompanied by TJ Johnson, she is the Queen of Queens... Katie Steward!”

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

Sharper: “Katie Steward with a chance to unseat SCW's current longest reigning champion here tonight. How did she earn the opportunity? She asked for it.”

Knots: “And champion Bree Lancaster agreed, which some called hypocritical after the way she ranted about only wanting to defend against challengers who earned the shot. One of the most vocal? Rachel Tatum Lee.”

Sharper: “With good reason, Rachel defeated Katie on Breakdown before Katie was given this shot. We now know that Rachel will go on to face the winner of this bout on New Year's Eve at our End of the Year Special.”

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, her arms spread wide, the United States Championship belt around her waist. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily, even more so than usual.

Phillips: "And her opponent.... from New Orleans, Louisiana and being accompanied by Scott Burnside... the current SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!"

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. He goes to the apron as Bree walks to the center of the ring, turning as she does. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. She hands the belt off as her music fades. The boos intensify, causing Bree to look out at them and smirk before taking a mocking bow.

Knots: “Bree Lancaster looking as confident and vain as ever. And this Philadelphia crowd can't stand it.”

Sharper: “Bree though seems to be enjoying the animosity from the fans.”

Bree then turns back to the ring and sees Katie just staring at her. Katie then holds a finger up towards the official, holding off from ringing the bell just yet. She walks to the middle of the ring, her arms extended, and walks a showy circle. TJ Johnson claps from the apron. The crowd boos. Katie puts her hands on her hips, offended.

Sharper: “Looks like Katie Steward thought she'd get a good reaction standing opposite Bree. But you can't expect anything from this crowd.”

Knots: “Can I expect trash to the thrown in the ring no matter who wins?”

Sharper: “Hmm... maybe.”

The official calls for the bell. Katie and Bree circle each other a bit, each looking for an opening. Katie then lunges and spins behind Bree, grabbing her from behind in a waistlock. Bree struggles a bit, but Katie swings her around and into the corner. Katie runs for a knee into the corner, but Bree moves. Katie catches herself before kneeing the ringpost. She turns and Bree grabs her arm, pulling her out of the corner. She lands a quick forearm before sending Katie into the ropes. Katie rebounds and Bree grabs her and drops her with a side slam. Bree then drops a knee into Katie's thigh. TJ looks concerned. Bree grabs a leg and starts to pull Katie closer to the center, but Katie kicks at Bree's hands with her other foot, and forces Bree to let go. Katie gets to her feet while Bree shakes her hand off. The stare at each other a moment, then both go in swinging. The crowd roars as Katie and Bree trade punches. Bree hits. The crowd boos. Katie hits. The crowd boos again. Bree hits. The crowd boos harder. Katie hits. More boos.

Sharper: “Well, that's a new one... this crowd booing BOTH women's landed punches!”

Knots: “I think the ones at Bree are louder.”

Bree spins and hits one more, a spinning backfist. The boos intensify as Katie stumbles backwards. Bree follows up with a spinning heel kick. Katie goes down. Bree makes a cover.

1!

Katie kicks out right at the 2. Both get up, Bree a little quicker. She runs the ropes and goes for a clothesline. Katie ducks. Bree spins around. Katie grabs her arm and takes her down with a hip toss. Katie then quickly bounces off the middle rope and lands a moonsault. She hooks a leg.

1!

2!

Bree shoves her off.

Sharper: “A pair of quick covers there and neither woman seems to have a clear advantage so far.”

Knots: “That's cause neither one has had a chance to cheat yet.”

Bree rolls to the apron as Katie gets up. Bree gets to her feet and leans back in the corner, the look on her face telling us she's plotting. Katie stalks over, and Bree comes out of the corner. They both go for a forearm and end up just hitting arms. Both back away, shaking their arms off. Katie recovers first and gets right in Bree's face, launching a Goddess Scream! Bree covers her ears. The crowd roars. Scott jumps onto the apron. TJ does as well on the other side. Katie finally stops screaming, a smirk on her face. Bree looks up, glares, and removes her hands from her ears and in one fluid motion drills Katie with the BOGO. Katie staggers backwards. TJ tries to get in to check on her, but the official goes over and stops him. Scott sees this and leans over the top rope, just close enough to grab Katie's hair and yank, pulling her down. The crowd boos. Bree grins at Scott, who immediately drops off the apron. Bree pulls Katie away from the ropes and drops a knee to her chest for good measure before making a cover. She yells at the official, who turns away from TJ to count.

1!

2!

Katie kicks out. Bree gets up and Katie rolls away. She gets to her feet and starts pointing at Scott and yelling. Scott holds his hands up innocently. Bree shakes her head.

Sharper: “Imagine being Katie Steward and complaining when someone's manager does the same thing your own manager would do!”

Knots: “That's the deal with these two, Adam. It's only wrong if someone else does it.”

The official shakes his head, can't call what he doesn't see. Katie screams in frustration. Bree runs at her and grabs her, looking for a DDT. Katie though shoves her off out of instinct, and Bree's own momentum plants her to the mat. Katie drops a knee into Bree's ribs. Bree rolls to her side holding herself. Katie then runs the ropes for momentum then drops another knee into the same spot. Bree rolls away further, almost to the ropes. Katie grabs Bree's legs and pulls her clear of the ropes, then applies a sharpshooter. The crowd boos. Scott starts beating on the apron to encourage Bree. Bree grimaces in pain, stretching and reaching as hard as she can towards the bottom rope. TJ sees her struggle and smirks. He grabs the bottom rope and pulls it away, out of her reach. Bree screams in anger and pain. Katie looks over her shoulder to see what Bree is upset about, then smiles at TJ, who is still holding the rope out of Bree's reach. The official finally notices and yells at TJ to let it go. He does, but Katie pulls Bree further into the center of the ring at the same time.

Sharper: “TJ Johnson with a little involvement and the champion is in trouble here! Bree usually focuses on the legs and the tables are turned, she may have no option here but to tap.”

Knots: “If there's one thing I've learned about Bree Lancaster in her years in SCW, it's that she doesn't give up that easily. Even when she should. She's fighting it!”

Bree pushes herself up on her hands, trying to relieve some of the pressure. Scott slaps the apron more. Bree manages to get her shoulder underneath herself, and roll, forcing Katie to let her go. The crowd boos heavily as Bree rolls to the apron where Scott is standing. She sits up and shakes her legs out as Scott says something. Bree nods. Katie doesn't care about the moment though, she storms over and grabs Bree by the hair, pulling her up to her feet. Bree yells. Katie lets the hair go and spins Bree around and nails her with a forearm. Bree steps back, but returns a forearm shot of her own, followed by an elbow, creating some separation. Both women run the ropes at the same time and both go for a clothesline, leading to both getting hung up and both going down hard. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Both champion and challenger down hard and now the crowd loves it.”

Knots: “Can they both lose and we just vacate the title? I bet this crowd would love that!”

The official starts a count. (1) Both Scott and TJ get on the apron in their woman's corner and yell encouragement. (2) Bree starts to stir first, rolling towards her corner a bit. (3) Katie sits up and shakes her head clear. (4) Bree gets to the ropes and pulls herself up. The official stops counting. Bree turns and sees Katie getting to her feet. She smirks, seeing her opening. Bree crouches down, waiting for Katie to get nearly vertical. She then runs and aims for the Classifier, but Katie sees it coming and sidesteps. The crowd oohs and Bree nearly rams the ringpost, but she catches herself on the middle ropes. She spins and glares, as Katie laughs.

Knots: “Bree Lancaster nearly taking herself out there as Katie Steward evaded the Classifier. And Katie finds this very amusing.”

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster however, does not.”

Bree goes to the second rope and leaps, taking Katie down with a missile dropkick. She gets up the grabs Katie's legs, looking for the Crescent Lock. Katie fights it, but Bree gets the figure four applied. She starts to bridge, but her own leg gives out and she falls back. The crowd oohs. Katie takes advantage by flipping Bree over. Bree quickly disentangles her legs though and scrambles backwards to the corner.

Sharper: “Bree with a Crescent Lock nearly locked in but it looked like her leg gave out, likely damage done earlier by Katie's sharpshooter.”

Knots: “Bree does love those submission wins but I don't think she's gonna get one tonight. Unless she whips out a brand new submission hold.”


Bree gets to her feet just as Katie does. Katie goes for a spinning heel kick, but Bree catches her leg, then drops her with Twisted Ambition. The crowd boos as Katie grabs at her knee.

Sharper: “That inverted dragonscrew! Legs aren't meant to bend that way, Jon.”

Knots: “Bree going to her usual bag of tricks, attacking the legs and knees. Not gonna help her if she can't fully apply the Crescent Lock, though.”

Bree gets up and yells at Katie to get up. Katie does, shaking her leg out. Bree runs the ropes for momentum, but it's immediately halted by Katie's Most Beautiful Superkick Ever! Bree hits the mat flat on her back. The crowd oohs as Katie makes a cover.

1!

2!

Bree kicks out. The crowd boos some more as Katie rolls off. She hits the mat angrily. Bree sits up and scoots back a bit before getting to her feet. She shakes her head clear as Katie gets up. Bree glares and Katie screams and they meet in the center of the ring, both swinging punches. The crowd roars as both women land a few shots, before Bree manages to duck one of Katie's and grab her arm. She then sends Katie into the corner. Katie hits the turnbuckles hard. Bree follows with a running knee into the ribs. Katie drops down, holding her ribs. Bree pulls her up and drives another knee. The crowd oohs and boos. Bree then pulls Katie out of the corner and slings her into the middle of the ring. Katie stumbles, still holding her ribs with one hand, and goes down to a knee. Bree waits in a crouched position as before. The crowd starts to roar as Katie starts to stand up. Bree lunges. Katie sidesteps again.... but Bree anticipated it, and does the same in the other direction, instead bouncing off the ropes for added momentum before drilling Katie with the Classifier! The crowd boos heavily as Bree makes a cover, hooking both legs.

1!

3!

The bell rings as Bree rolls off.

Phillips: “Your winner and STILL SCW United States Champion..... Bree Lancaster!”

The announcement is nearly drowned out by the boos and jeering and general noises of displeasure. Bree gets to her feet and the official raises her hand as Scott comes in handing her the belt back.

Sharper: “Katie Steward gave as good as she got, nearly evaded that spear again. But Bree Lancaster learned from her previous attempt and tried something different and it paid off.”

Knots: “She seems pretty excited about it now but in the back of her mind you know she has to be thinking about what's next. Or rather who... Rachel Tatum Lee.”

Katie is helped out of the ring by TJ Johnson as Bree continues to celebrate with Scott. A paper cup flies into the ring and Bree ducks it, before glaring into the direction it came.

Knots: “There it is, trash! I knew it!”

Another cup flies, but far from Bree. She and Scott take the cue and exit the ring. The heavy boos continue as they start to go up the ramp walking backwards, Bree holding the title overhead with one hand as Clarity cuts away.

The lights go down and flash purple as "Nightmare" by Halsey starts to play. 

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
If I shall die before I 'wake
I pray the Lord, my soul to take

Jordan runs out on the stage and jumps, landing right when the beat hits and looks out at the crowd with a big smile on her face. The crowd boos loudly as Jordan looks around and then nods before starting to skip down the ramp.

 

Phillips: “First, on her way to the ring, she is from Chicago, Illinois, she is Jordan Majors!”

 

She sprints toward the ring apron and slides under the bottom rope to the middle of the ring, going on her elbows and kicking her feet behind her as she laughs. Jordan jumps to her feet and runs to the ropes and jumps on to the middle rope and leans across the top as she sticks her tongue out. She tosses her head back and forth a few times before hopping off the rope and sauntering around the ring. The Philadelphia crowd continues to boo her loudly.

 

Sharper: “Jordan Majors about to team with Jake Starr here on pay per view. Ladder match. World Tag Team Titles.”

 

Knots: “In hostile territory by the sounds of it.”

 

Sharper: “She got caught offguard by it, but trying to get back in the zone. This is a very dangerous match and for Majors and Starr, who is about to come out, they will want to get some revenge against Infamous while walking away with gold.”

 

The opening chords of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown begin to echo throughout the stadium. With each opening drum beat, the logo of the Social Misfits flashes on the jumbotron...
 
Yeah, I get it you're an outcast
Always under attack always coming in last
Bringing up the past no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast a kick in the ass
So paranoid
 
WATCH YOUR BACK!
 
With those words, an explosion or pyro shoots high into the air from the stage and in front of the stage in another wall of sparks. Lights start to circle the arena as several spotlights turn to the stage. Jake Starr walks out from the back and looks around. He just smiles and nods. He surveys the crowd, feeling their energy and absorbing it all in. His nameplate comes up as Jake Starr starts to head down to the ring. He makes his way down the rampway before going to the guardrail and fist bumping a few fans and then going to the other side before doing the same. The crowd cheers loudly for Jake Starr.
 
Phillips: “Her partner, from Des Moines, Iowa, he is the Only Social Misfit Remaining, he is Jake Starr!”
 
The crowd cheers as Starr runs over to the ring and jumps up onto the apron. He steps into the ring. He immediately makes his way to the far corner, climbing to the top rope. As the chorus hits, a spotlight illuminates Jake and he simply stands there looking around at the fans with a smirk on his face. He points at himself, and ultimately yells the words "I'M NOT DEAD YET!" He looks around, continuing to soak up the energy from the crowd before beating on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd who have been supporters over the years. After this, he goes camera side and climbs on the middle rope raising his arm one more time. He looks around before hopping down and walking around the ring.

 

Sharper: “And this crowd loves Jake Starr, returning to Philadelphia, to team with his sister, Jordan Majors.”

 

Knots: “I’m still stunned by that.”

 

Sharper: “He came out and helped her at Under Attack. He’s been a guardian angel since then. Majors a big target for Infamous.”

 

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket.  Kimberly comes out next, standing beside her, wearing almost identical looking clothes, just minus the leather jacket.  A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly mainly for Kim.

 

Phillips: “Next, both from Boston, Massachusetts, they the Phoenix Marie Jones and The Wildcard Kimberly Williams, they are Twin Magic!”

The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie and Kim begin to make their way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans mainly for Kim. As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience.  Kim just slides into the ring from underneath the bottom rope. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Twin Magic looking to regain the World Tag Team Championship-“

 

Knots: “Depends if Kim Williams can focus on that. Knowing her, she’ll want to maim Christy Matthews or Ravyn Taylor.”

 

Sharper: “Perhaps they’ll divide and conquer.”

 

The sound of a whip cracking gets everyone's attention, followed by the heavy bass riff of “More Human than Human.” The sounds of a female in the throes of passion seem to have been replaced with Kandis' voice.. When the moaning stops, the heavier music kicks in, then Kandis and Tommy Valentine come through the curtain. Both smirk as they look around. The crowd roars in cheers.

 

Phillips: “Next, from West Hollywood, California, she is Kandis! And from Santa Barbara, California, he is Tommy Valentine! They are The Jackass and Big Ass Connection!”

 

The heavy music continues as the pair walk down the ramp, Kandis a step ahead, with Tommy clearly watching her voluptuous rear end as they proceed. Once getting to the ring, Tommy hops on the apron as Kandis goes up the steps. He holds the ropes open for her, and she steps through, slowly, making sure all who are interested get a good view (and pics) of her ass. Once in the ring, Kandis walks around showing herself off while Tommy watches. Kandis then walks to their corner, and Tommy follows, giving her ass a light slap as they get to the corner. 

 

Sharper: “This may be the wildcard. They want to win the Tag Titles. That’s for certain, but they’re at a bit of a disadvantage. Kandis is not good with heights or ladders.”

 

Knots: “Tommy is! We know that. They may be the real definition of divide and conquer. Kandis on the ground. I mean her ass keeps her there nicely! Tommy can climb!”

 

There’s a loud click as the lights around the building flick off and darkness consumes the arena, with nothing but a few flashes from cameras in the crowd lighting the arena. The lights return slowly and dimly in a crimson hue as cheers spread throughout the arena, then without warning we see black and white footage spring to life on the screen of Winston Churchill giving one of his most famous speeches, all the while the chilling sound of air raid sirens and war can be heard in the background...

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender!"

The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...

"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this new world order..."

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of cheers as they know who is about to make their presence felt. The curtains part as Ravyn Taylor walks out onto the stage with a ring jacket on, followed by Christy Matthews with a red hood pulled up over her head. Christy stands in the middle of the stage with her arms outstretched in a crucifix pose as Ravyn walks to the edge of the stage, looking out over the sea of hatred from the fans. The curtains part again as Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe make their way onto the stage, the former standing just a step behind Christy, looking ready to see off any fans that get too close to her.

Philips: “Next, making their way to the ring, being accompanied by Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe, first, from the City of Angels, by way of Overland Park, Kansas, Christy Matthews. And, hailing from Malibu, California, the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor. Collectively, they are Infamous!”

Christy begins walking down to the ring, with Richter acting as her second. Meanwhile, Ravyn smiles proudly as she and Alexander Crowe begin walking to the ring. Christy climbs up the outside of the ring apron and ascends the outside of the turnbuckles, extending her arms again in the mock crucifix pose before pulling her hood down and looking slowly around. Meanwhile, Crowe slides into the ring and sits on the middle rope, lifting the top rope as well as Ravyn steps up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before stepping between the ropes. She gives Crowe a kiss, to more boos from the crowd, before stepping up onto the turnbuckles on the opposite side of the ring as Christy and removing her jacket slowly, tossing it to her husband before looking down at herself admiringly. Christy vaults into the ring while Ravyn steps down and the two gather in the corner, with Christy handing off her cloak to Richter, who stands in the corner as protection while Christy crouches down beside Ravyn, who sits in the corner with a smirk on her face.

 

Sharper: “I don’t get these fans. They’re cheering Infamous. But Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews, everyone has their eyes on them.”

 

Knots: “I’m sure Ravyn loves it. She’s controlling everyone in there!”

 

Sharper: “And now they’re former World Tag Team Champions. They pulled it off at SCW live events a couple of weeks ago. Now, it may not be the Order of Chaos, but they’re using just that, chaos here in the tag division, hoping to win the titles ago!”

 

The arenas lights cut completely, plunging the room into darkness for a second or two as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard across the PA system.

 

“Don’t bless me father, for I have sinned...”

 

A snicker is heard in a very Yorkshire accent.

 

“Who d'ya think encouraged her?”

 

“Going To Hell” by The Pretty Reckless hits the PA system as the fans erupt in boos and blue and white spotlights flash on and off across the stage. The music plays for a few seconds before Ryan Watson walks out onto the stage, swiftly followed by Autumn Valentine. The couple stand together on the stage for a moment before Ryan throws up his hands and pushes them together, revealing the “P1” symbol on his gloves, while Autumn turns her back to the camera and holds her arms downward, revealing the words “DARK FANTASY” on the back of her ring jacket.

 

Phillips: “Finally, making their way to the ring, introducing first, hailing from Anaheim, California, she is Autumn Valentine! Her partner, from Sheffield in England, he is the Prodigal One, Ryan Watson. They are SCW World Tag Team Champions, Zero Effs to Give!”

 

The duo makes their way to the ring. Autumn walks up the ring steps as Ryan slides into the ring, pausing for a moment to pull up the middle rope and step down on the bottom rope, allowing his wife into the ring. Ryan then walks over to the far corner, throwing up his hands in front of him again as Autumn climbs up on the ropes next to him and leans in toward him, nodding at the camera as it focuses on the symbol on Watson’s gloves. After a few moments both get down from their position and both remove their ring jackets, tossing them into their corner. Autumn stretches out against the ropes as Ryan runs the ropes back and forth for a moment, getting ready for the match.

 

Sharper: “The tag champs have arrived. Their titles already hanging over the ring.”

 

Knots: “So what’s going to be the spark? Ladders in the entrance way. Ladders around ringside. Five teams.”

 

Sharper: “This is going to be chaos. It’s going to be violent. But more importantly, are they going to go for the titles or for Infamous or for both?”

 

Knots: “Look at Kim….Marie intentionally standing in front of her.”

 

Kim has her eyes on Christy as Marie stands in front of her. Ryan and Autumn look around as Kandis and Tommy stand in one corner. Ravyn remains seated as Christy is in front of her. Jake and Jordan also stand together. Just before the bell is about to sound, Steve Hollinsworth and Aaron Demitra walk over to Christopher Richter and Alexander Crowe. They motion for them to leave. The crowd roars. Ravyn glances at them and then backs as Christy looks around as the crowd cheers some. Crowe turns to the official as does Richter. Demitra and Hollinsworth motion for them to leave again. Crowe and Richter then start to walk around as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “They may be cheering for Infamous, but not for Crowe or Richter!”

 

Knots: “Refs are kicking them out of here!”

 

Sharper: “Thank God! It may chaotic, but it will be up to the talent in the match!”

 

Crowe and Richter continue to head to the back as Jake waves at them. Crowe then heads over and grabs one ladder from ringside and throws it toward the ring in anger. He and Richter then head to the back. Demitra then nods to Hollinsworth. Hollinsworth turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds as the crowd roars. Ravyn quickly rolls to the floor as Jordan sees this and drops down too. Ryan and Autumn exit the ring as Tommy and Kandis roll to the floor too. Marie rolls to the floor too as Kim runs over to Christy and nails her with a hard right and then another. Starr calmly rolls to the floor as Jordan heads around to go after Ravyn. Ravyn walks around, keeping her distance as Tommy and Kandis grab one ladder from the ringside area and Ryan and Autumn grab the other one. Ryan slides the ladder in and Autumn rolls in after as Starr then runs over and grabs Ryan and clubs him in the back. Autumn glances back as Tommy and Kandis slide in with their ladder. Kim kicks at Christy and grabs her and goes to whip her across, but Christy spins through and sends her across. She runs over and dropkicks Tommy in the head as he gets up. Tommy rolls to the floor. Christy then turns and grabs Kandis and pulls her up. Jordan keeps following Ravyn.

 

Sharper: “We have some answers! Zero Effs and the Connection going for the titles! Jake going after Ryan! Marie almost watching and trying to figure out what is going on.

 

Knots: “Kim and Christy already going after each other, but now Christy’s going after Kandis!”

 

Sharper: “Ladders in the ring in record time as Jordan stalks Ravyn!”

 

Starr is shown throwing Watson into the barricade as Starr turns to help Jordan, going to corner  Ravyn. Ravyn sees this as Christy kicks at Kandis in the corner. Kim turns and just then, Ravyn rolls into the ring. Jordan goes to slide in, but Marie grabs her and pulls her back out. She then clotheslines her down. Autumn meanwhile nails Kim in the back and works her over as Christy then jumps up and hits a kick to the jaw of Kandis. Kandis falls to the floor as Ravyn rolls into the ring and Starr slides in after. He goes to run after her, but she rolls to the floor on the other side. Christy then walks over and grabs Starr as Starr looks at Ravyn. Christy then hits a mat slam, throwing Starr back into one of the ladders that had been placed in earlier. Starr rolls out of the ring. Ravyn looks on as Christy turns and Marie slides in and runs over and nails Christy with a hard right. The crowd roars. Christy nails her with a shot before Marie fires back with another and another. Autumn stomps away on Kim as Tommy pulls himself in and Ravyn now enters. She runs over and grabs Marie and pulls her back by the arms. Christy then looks at her and jumps up and dropkicks Marie in the face. She falls over and down to the mat. Tommy then runs over and nails Ravyn with a hard forearm. Ravyn falls to the corner. Kandis then runs out and hits a running hip check to the face of Christy. Christy rolls out of the ring. Kandis and Tommy look at one another.

 

Sharper: “And the Jackass and Huge Ass Connection taking down both members of Infamous!”

 

Knots: “That’s all well and good, but you have to get everyone down and climb. Think about the amount of mass in there!”

 

Sharper: “Five teams all wanting something in there, presumably part of that something for everyone is the World Tag Team Championship!”

 

Ravyn stirs as Jordan then slides into the ring. Kandis and Tommy turn and Jordan runs at them and goes for a double clothesline. They duck. Jordan stops and turns and Kandis and Tommy scoop her up and then throw her forward into Autumn who turns around. Autumn hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Tommy then turns and grabs the ladder and lifts it up, placing it on its feet and opening it. Kandis then looks at it and takes a deep breath, but just then, Ryan slides into the ring, as Kim gets up. Kim nails Kandis in the back as Ryan nails Tommy with a forearm shot. Ryan nails him again and Kim nails Kandis with a shot, both Connection members ending up on the ropes. They then both are whipped across. Kandis and Tommy spin through and send their respective opponents into the ropes. Both jump to the middle rope and dive back with moonsaults, but Tommy grabs the ladder first and turns and throws it at Ryan. Ryan hits it and rolls over, holding his ribs in pain as the crowd ohs. Kandis meanwhile takes a Kim Williams right to the face, taking her down.

 

Sharper: “Kim and Ryan with stereo moonsaults. Very different endings!”

 

Knots: “Ryan just found out a moonsault into a ladder is not a good life choice!”

 

Sharper: “Tommy not thinking about helping Kandis. Not a slight at all. But Tommy using the ladder, having been in many ladder matches. Knowing to use it as a weapon!”

 

Kim gets up and Tommy kicks her in the ribs. We see Starr grabbing the other ladder as Jordan is pulled out of the ring by Ravyn who turns and throws her into the ladders along the barricade. Tommy hooks Kim up and hits a vertical suplex before Tommy turns around and sees Starr. Starr shrugs and runs the ladder at him, causing Tommy to back up into the corner. Starr drives it into the ribs of Tommy. Tommy tries to push it and Starr backs up and kicks the bottom rung, causing the ladder to drive into Tommy’s ribs. Tommy grimaces. Starr backs up and then lunges forward, with a dropkick to the bottom rung. The crowd ohs. Marie then suddenly appears, running over and jumping up and hitting a double stomp to Starr. Starr rolls out of the ring before Marie turns and runs along the ladder and jumps up with a leg lariat to Tommy’s face. Marie rolls down and grabs the ladder. She pulls it away as Tommy drops to the mat.

 

Sharper: “Tommy getting devastated in the corner. Starr working over the ribs and Marie coming in to work over the face!”

 

Knots: “He may know how to use a ladder and more comfortable in there, but quickly remembering none of that is comfortable!”

 

Sharper: “Marie now with the ladder!”

 

Autumn turns as Marie turns and spins, nailing Autumn with the ladder. Autumn falls through the ropes to the floor. Ravyn moves away as Jordan grimaces. Marie then looks around before placing the ladder on the ropes. She turns and runs across, but just then, Ryan suddenly jumps up and hits a snap frankensteiner and Marie flips onto the ladder. The crowd ohs and Marie rolls off and holding her lower back. Kim sees this, lunging up in a fury and nailing Ryan in the head with several hard shots. Ryan pushes her away and rolls to the floor. Kim then lunges at him and grabbing at him before looking around and pulling away. She sees Christy and then starts to head after her, but as she does, Kandis runs over and grabs her and spins her around, scooping her up and throwing her back with a fallaway slam onto the ladder Marie had set up. Kim rolls over, holding her lower back.

 

Sharper: “Both Kim and Marie going into that ladder! Kim so focused on revenge for anyone who touches Marie!”

 

Knots: “And Ryan knew he was screwed. He just got the hell out of there!”

 

Kandis starts to get up, but as she does, Ravyn slides in and boots her in the face with the Bust of Pallas. Kandis falls to the mat. Ravyn then grabs the already opened ladder and lifts it up and places it in the middle of the ring. She starts to climb up, but Ryan slides in. Ravyn smirks seeing him and jumps down. The two former Infamous members look at one another. Christy then slides in and Ryan quickly kicks her in the ribs and turns to Ravyn who grabs his arm and pulls it through the ladder. She goes to try something, but Jordan slides in and kicks Ravyn in the ribs. Ryan pulls his hand out and clotheslines Christy over the top rope. Jordan kicks Ravyn in the ribs and then again before placing her head between the ropes and kicking at it. Ravyn falls to a seated position. Ryan meanwhile starts to climb up the ladder quite quickly.

 

Sharper: “Ryan and Ravyn had a moment. Jordan Majors working over Ravyn, but look at Watson!”

 

Knots: “He doesn’t care. He’d love to grab the belts and get out of here!”

 

Jordan turns and sees this and turns and runs over to the ladder. She starts to climb up as the crowd cheers. Ryan gets to the top and reaches up, but Jordan nails him in the ribs. She nails him again and then grabs him by the head. As this happens, Starr and Autumn enter the ring, on opposite sides. Starr grabs Ryan. Autumn grabs Jordan. They pull each down, both landing on their feet. Ryan and Jordan immediately meet their respective opponents, Starr and Autumn, with hard rights and run into the ropes. Starr however quickly moves forward and drop toe holds Ryan into the ladder. Autumn hits a straight kick to the ribs of Jordan before grabbing her head. She sets up for the Pink Whisper, but Jordan fights it. Starr turns and nails her in the back. Jordan then turns and throws her into the ropes and Starr and Jordan lift Autumn up and drop her with a flapjack onto Ryan. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Majors and Starr working together! Big flapjack and awkward landing. Right on Ryan’s back!”

 

Knots: “And he was arched a bit! He was grabbing at the ladder.”

 

Starr and Jordan turn and just then, Ravyn takes the other ladder and lifts it up and runs at Jordan, nailing her in the face with it. Jordan falls back and through the ropes to the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers. Starr turns and dropkicks the ladder back into Ravyn’s face. Ravyn rolls over. Starr then looks at her before turning around as Christy is back in with a dropkick. Starr hits the mat. Starr rolls over as Christy turns and smirks and grabs at the open ladder and starts to restabilize it. She starts to climb up. The crowd roars as she starts to climb, but as she does, Marie and Kim both recover and Christy stops and looks at them. Marie then runs over and jumps up and flips over and hits a sunset flip powerbomb. The crowd roars. Kim then runs at her and goes for a mount before nailing Christy with repeated right hands, getting cheers from the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Kim teeing off after Marie Jones plants her in the middle of the ring with a powerbomb!”

 

Knots: “Christy knew it was coming and there was nothing she could do but accept it!”

 

Sharper: “Kim continuing to attack!”

 

Marie walks over and pulls Kim back. Kim looks at her and nods before getting up only to turn and stomp her in the face again. Kim then starts to play defense as Marie starts to climb up the ladder. Starr gets up and Kim hits a superkick. Starr drops to the mat. Tommy gets up and Kim nails him with a dropkick. She turns and runs over to Kandis, who catches her leg. She spins her around and then grabs Kim and hits a back suplex. Marie keeps climbing up as Kandis then gets up and runs over to the ladder and pushes it over. Marie falls over and lands on the middle rope, springboarding back up and turning, but Kandis catches her and into a sitout powerbomb. The crowd roars. Jordan starts to pull herself up, blood on her face as Ryan and Autumn have recovered on the floor. Kandis starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “Huge powerbomb! Kandis playing possum for a bit. She may not be comfortable in there, but some strategies work all the time!”

 

Knots: “Was down for a while and it’s easy to lose track of people in there. You have to deal with ten people in the match, one is you and one is your friend. The other eight, you just make sure they’re not in the way!”

 

Sharper: “And look at Jordan Majors, a cut from the ladder shot from Ravyn.”

 

Knots: “Look at Watson and Valentine. They may not have an eff to give, but they have some planning going on.”

 

Kandis gets up and looks at the ladder behind her. She pulls it up and then looks up at the belt. She takes a deep breath as the crowd roars. A faint “Climb!” chant begins. Kandis looks around and places a boot on the bottom rung. She looks up and goes to set up, but as she does, Jordan enters the ring and kicks her in the ribs. The crowd boos loudly. Jordan then goes low lifts Kandis up and hits a saito suplex. The crowd ohs.

The crowd boos. Autumn then turns and goes after Kandis as Ryan goes after Tommy. They nudge them out of the ring before Autumn and Ryan turn and Autumn starts to climb. Ryan holds the ladder. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Autumn climbing as Ryan now protecting his wife!”

 

Knots: “And they’ve cleared the ring!”

 

Kim and Marie stir on the floor as Kandis, Tommy, Starr and Jordan all stir. Christy does as well and Autumn gets up a bit higher before Christy slides into the ring. Ryan turns and nails her with a stomp to the back, but Ravyn meanwhile grabs one of the ladders on the floor and slides it in. She gets up and then lifts it up and throws it at Autumn’s back. The crowd ohs. Autumn falls onto the ladder, leaning forward. She turns and looks at Ravyn. Ravyn waves at her and Ryan turns around and runs at Ravyn, but Ravyn jumps up and hits the Evolutionary Synthesis. Just before she can get up, Starr slides into the ring and gets up and lunges to the ladder and pushes it over. Autumn falls over and over the top rope to the floor, landing on Twin Magic.

 

Sharper: “Autumn sent to the floor! Starr knocking the ladder over. Autumn landing on Marie and Kim!”

 

Knots: “Three quarters of Under Attack’s World Tag Team Championship match down on the floor!”

 

Sharper: “The other part down in the ring, but look at this! The ring! Filling up again!”

 

Starr turns as Ravyn kicks him in the ribs and forearms him. Kandis and Tommy slide in as Jordan recovers and enters. Christy slides in too and Jordan goes over to Kandis. Tommy and Christy battle too. The crowd roars as the match is breaking down and Ravyn rakes the eyes of Starr. She then turns and grabs the ladder she had and lifts it up and turns and swings it at Starr. Starr ducks and grabs her in a waistlock. He hits a release German and Ravyn lets go of the ladder as she throws back, causing it to fly into Kandis and Jordan. The crowd ohs. Christy then kicks Tommy in the ribs and turns and runs over and kicks Starr in the ribs. She nails him with a forearm shot and then pulls him in for the Happily Never After. Starr however spins her around and right into Tommy how kicks her in the ribs and hits the Petal of Woe. The crowd roars. Tommy rolls over and turns to Starr. The two former allies and friends look at one another. Starr looks at Kandis. Tommy looks at Jordan. Starr and Tommy just have a moment, no words spoken. Starr and Tommy then shrug before Tommy nails Starr with a hard right and Starr fires back with one of his own. They trade blows as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Valentine and Starr trading blows!”

 

Knots: “Tag Titles are on the line. They can try and be friends later!”

 

Starr and Tommy get a few more blows in before Tommy knees Starr in the ribs and then again. He runs into the ropes, but Starr runs after him and catches him with a knee to the ribs. Starr then whips him across and Tommy bounces off and Starr jumps up and hits a dropkick. Tommy rolls over. Starr then turns and Kandis suddenly jumps up and hits a running hip check to Starr.

Kandis falls back and Jordan then turns and places the ladder back up.

Ryan Watson stirs too as Christy grabs at the ropes. Jordan then clubs Kandis a few more times before Kandis elbows Jordan in the jaw. Jordan falls back to the corner.

Sharper: “Jordan hits the Cash-Out on Ravyn Taylor again!”

 

Knots: “She’s got her number with it! But she needs to take advantage!”

 

Kandis falls to the ropes. Jordan slowly gets up and Christy quickly steps over and grabs her and hits the Happily Never After. Christy then gets up and turns and Tommy suddenly nails her with a running clothesline. Tommy then falls over as Kandis looks around. Tommy starts to get up and Kandis walks over and goes to help Tommy get up. Tommy winces, and Kandis looks around. Tommy tells her she needs to climb and Kandis says no. Tommy looks around before then nodding. Kandis looks relieved as she turns and places the ladder back up and steps to the side, but Tommy suddenly lowers his head between Kandis’ legs and lifts her up in an electric chair. Kandis starts to look around, clearly not pleased. Tommy grimaces as he falls to the ladder. He starts to climb as Kandis grabs at the ladder, more out of necessity.

 

Sharper: “Kandis is deathly afraid of climbing the ladder. Tommy however almost forcing her.”

 

Knots: “I think he knows he’s not okay. He took a good shot or something. Kandis is in better condition and he knows that. He knows if they want to win the titles they need to get over her fear.”

 

Sharper: “And he’s trying to encourage. I can hear him from here!”

 

Tommy speaks to Kandis as she looks around and Autumn manages to slide into the ring. She then runs over and kicks Tommy in the ribs. She kicks him a second time and he falls over. Kandis yells out and looks around before looking down at Autumn. Kandis kicks toward her over and over before she moves around. Autumn walks around and looks at her before Kim pulls her out of the ring. Autumn slides to the floor as Marie slides in. Kim grabs Autumn and sends her into the barricade. Marie then runs over and starts to climb on the other side. The crowd cheers as Marie climbs up to the middle part of the ladder. Kandis looks around as Marie then gets up and Kandis closes her eyes and steps up and swings. She catches Marie with a shot, but quickly grabs at the ladder. Marie then nails her with a shot. Kandis tries to cover up as Marie nails her again and again. Kandis then falls back, but Tommy steps up and catches her in his arms. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Tommy caught her!”

 

Knots: “Kandis could not be more relieved!”

 

Sharper: “But I’d hate to break up this moment! Marie is climbing for the titles! Twin Magic wants them back!”

 

Marie climbs up to the top before Starr springboards to the top rope and dives back and grabs Marie, pulling her down and just slamming her to the mat. The crowd ohs. Starr steps forward. Kim sees this and rolls into the ring. Starr starts to back up.

 

Starr: “Hey! I’m trying to win the match too!”

 

Kim: “And I’m trying to protect HER!”

 

Kim then throws a hard right. She hits another and another before grabbing Starr, but Starr pushes her off and into the ropes.

Ryan starts to climb on the other side. Kandis looks at both, before looking down.

 

Sharper: “Kandis now in the ring, Tommy and Ryan both climbing up!”

 

Knots: “Lover and mentor!”

 

Sharper: “All of the intertwined relationships in this one!”

 

Kandis then turns and goes over to ladder with Ryan and pulls on his leg. She can be seen saying sorry. Tommy keeps climbing up as Ryan looks back and nods.

 

Ryan: “S’ry too!”

Ravyn is on the apron as Starr is on the floor. Marie starts to get up. The crowd cheers as Kim and Christy keep trading blows before Autumn looks at this and then turns and kicks at their ladder. The crowd roars as it starts to teeter and both go over the top rope, falling to the floor. The crowd ohs and Christy and Kim roll over in pain.

Knots: “I hope they got their feet under them! Autumn pushed them over!”

 

Back in the ring, Marie then suddenly runs pushes the Jordan and Ryan ladder over and they fall to the top rope before flipping over to the floor. Autumn and Tommy are atop the ladder in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Ryan Watson! Jordan Majors now taking the spill!”

 

Knots: “Marie dealing with that!”

 

Sharper: “Valentine and Valentine on the ladder, but Marie’s not done yet!”

 

Marie then turns and nails Tommy in the back before stepping forward and nailing Autumn with a shot. She turns back and nails Tommy again and runs to the ropes. She bounces off and runs at Autumn and jumps up and spears her off the ladder. But as she does this, Ravyn runs over and jumps up and hits a Bust of Pallas on Tommy. Tommy falls off the ladder. He rolls out of the ring. Ravyn then turns and Marie forearms her in the jaw. The crowd roars. Marie nails her again and again. Ravyn falls to the ropes. Marie grabs her and whips her across the ring. Ravyn bounces off and Marie nails her with a clothesline. Ravyn gets up and Marie kicks her in the ribs and sets up for the Ave Maria. The crowd cheers. Ravyn however pushes her forward. Marie bounces off and Ravyn goes to throw her into one of the downed ladders, but Marie spins through jumps on the ladder and manages to bounce off enough to hit an enziguri kick. Ravyn hits the mat. Marie then turns and looks around before grabbing at the upright ladder. She starts to climb up as the crowd cheers. Ravyn stirs as Starr suddenly rolls in. Marie gets halfway up, but Starr then starts to climb up behind her. He hoists her up and drops her with a blue thunder bomb off the ladder. The crowd ohs. Starr rolls over. He starts to get up and turns to the ladder. He then notices Ravyn. As this happens, Kim is crawling over to the steel steps. Christy starts to get up too.

 

Sharper: “Starr plants Marie Jones after Marie was setting herself up for maybe having the clear path to the titles!”

 

Knots: “Starr now has it, but Ravyn’s getting up. Take out Ravyn or go for it and hope for the best!”

 

Sharper: “Oh my God…Kim and Christy are getting back up. Even after that fall!”

 

Knots: “And Kim has the steel steps!”

 

Kim grabs the steel steps, unhooking them from the bottom half before turning and Christy walks right into Kim nailing her with them. She drops and Kim lifts the steps up and slams them on Christy. The crowd ohs as we see Starr turn to Ravyn and pulls her up, only for Ravyn to suddenly jump up and hit the Evolutionary Synthesis. The crowd ohs and cheers. Ravyn grabsat the ladder and pulls herself up. She starts to climb up the ladder as Kim, her back to the ring and to the big screen, starts to take out her anger on Christy, nailing over and over with the steps, driving them into Christy’s arm as she covers up. Ravyn meanwhile climbs up.

 

Knots: “Kim! Ravyn’s climbing up!”

 

Sharper: “She’s so focused on getting her revenge for what Christy Matthews did to Marie! Ravyn! Climbing. Ever so close, step by step! No! Not Infamous!”

 

Ravyn gets up to the top and reaches up. The crowd roars as Kim gets one more shot in before lifting the steps up again. Ravyn pulls down one title and then the other. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Kim then stops and turns. She throws the steps down. Ravyn steps down a step before falling to the mat. “Bad, Bad Girl” starts to play throughout the arena.

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners, and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions, Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews, Infamous!”

 

The crowd roars as Kim then rolls into the ring. She looks around before going over to Marie and checking on her as Marie stirs. Ravyn rolls over to the floor, holding both belts.

 

Sharper: “Kim stopping, hearing the bell, going to check on Marie. But the story is that Infamous are the Tag Team Champions again!”

 

Knots: “This time, no open challenge, just winning tonight. Ravyn standing tall. Christy, what’s left of her, will be happy with this!”

 

Sharper: “She’s probably wanted this moment her entire life, now on the bigger stage. Kim getting her revenge instead, but Christy getting the last laugh, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship, now for a second time!”

 

Ravyn Taylor walks around and looks at Christy. Tommy looks on as Kandis winces on the floor. Starr rolls over on the ring, joined by Jordan. Ryan checks on Autumn. Ravyn then looks around as officials check on Christy. Ravyn looks at her and then out to the crowd, almost showing a coldness to Christy. She backs up as the crowd starts to cheer some more. Ravyn starts to turn to head to the back where she’s stopped by London and Paris Truelove who look at her.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute! The Truelove Twins coming out!”

 

Knots: “Staring face to face with Ravyn Taylor, the new champions.”

 

Sharper: “Sasha saying this was to clear the deck. Four teams defeated tonight…Trueloves now back to the front of the line?”

 

Knots: “What about Las Bandidas?! Or El Lucho Brothers?”

 

Sharper: “The SCW Tag Division on fire now and Infamous holding the titles…add all of the teams will want another shot at them!”

 

Knots: “They’ll need to work their way up again! Trueloves taking their spot right now!”

 

Ravyn looks at them as London and Paris look at the title. Ravyn smirks. London and Paris then look at Christy before turning and backing up. They start to head to the back again as Ravyn watches them leave. She smirks as we cut away.

 

Sharper: “From the chaos for this ladder match, another new champion, we are going to see a fight, and one that will have lasting consequences.”

 

The Clarity logo comes up as a still of Selena Frost vs. Xander Valentine on the screen.

 

Knots: “Last Person Standing!”

 

Sharper: “The final showdown. Selena Frost faces Xander Valentine. Let’s take a look at their history.”

 

A recap video plays showing the history between Selena Frost and Xander Valentine.

 

Selena Frost vs. Xander Valentine

Last Person Standing

 

BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as  “The Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe. The crowd starts to boo loudly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a sixty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Winter’s Knight, Selena Frost!”

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward, her back arm lifted behind her to the sky. With a lift of her right foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring! The crowd continues to boo her. Lowering her arms, the Winter’s Knight walks down the ramp, her steps leaving footprints in the “snow” under her feet. Reaching the ring, Selena slides under the ropes to enter it. She gets up and lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more. With a slam of her foot, Selena caused the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue sparkles of light as the lights return to normal. She looks around as the crowd roars with boos.

 

Knots: “We are not in True Believer country…”

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost coming to fight Xander Valentine, for the last time. Says she’s going to make clear to him, that knockout at Rise to Greatness was not a fluke.”

 

Knots: “More importantly, that if she wins, Xander has no wins against her that count!”

 

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

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


As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp. The crowd erupts in cheers. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions herself behind Xander. As if she doesn't exist, he stares down at the ring, regardless if occupied or vacant. A serious glare is painted across his weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Rochester, New York, he is accompanied by Artemis, he is the Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

The song begins to fade out at this point. Xander is at the bottom of the ring steps. He stomps the bottom step several times before moving pass the steps towards the side of the ring. In a single bound, Xander leaps up onto the apron. He poses for a moment, stretching his shoulders as he continues to look into the ring. He raises his arm high into his air, as to promise victory. He garners another response from the crowd. Meanwhile Artemis has left his side, instead moving towards the time keeper to take the position of a watcher. She stands there as if no one else exists but Xander and his opponent. Xander looks over at Artemis for a moment, for the first time acknowledging her existence before leaping over the top rope. He steps over to the corner and prepares for the battle ahead. A “Xander!” chant can be audibly heard.

 

Sharper: “Xander Valentine coming to the ring for the first time, legally in SCW, for a match since Rise to Greatness. On that night, Selena Frost knocked him out with the Defying Gravity. That led him to attack fans, after he had already threatened the ownership of this company, Selena’s wife, and many others.”

 

Knots: “And these sick freaks in Philadelphia are cheering him.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know what to say. He claims he respects Selena. He may. They had a fight of fights the night of Under Attack in that unsanctioned Empty Arena match. Now, last person standing. It ends tonight.”

 

Michael Constantine is in the ring and looks at both before calling for the bell. The bell sounds and Selena runs right at Xander and nails him with a forearm and then another. She hits a shoot kick to the thigh and then another before Xander shoves her back with a pieface. Selena rolls through. She gets up and Xander moves toward her and goes for a forearm. Selena ducks and spins around. She hits a shoot kick to the thigh and then jumps up and hits a standing enziguri. Xander staggers as the crowd makes noise, before starting to turn to boos. Selena gets up and runs to the ropes and jumps to the top rope. She dives back for the Defying Gravity. Xander sidesteps. Selena lands on her feet and Xander turns and boots her with a big boot to the face. The crowd roars. Selena rolls over and moves to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Xander had the Defying Gravity scouted. Selena was looking to end this fast!”

 

Knots: “You don’t get paid by the hour. You get paid to win!”

 

Selena grabs at the ropes, pulling herself up and turns and Xander walks over and knees her in the ribs. Selena pops up and falls into the corner. Xander knees her again. He then forearms her in the jaw and then hits a back elbow. Selena pushes Xander back enough to stumble along the ropes and Xander turns and watches her before rushing at her and going for a clothesline. Selena ducks and stops and both spin around and Selena jumps up and locks in a crucifix and forces Xander down. Selena then keeps her legs around the arm and starts to hammer away with her left hand on Xander over and over. The crowd boos and Xander pushes back and Selena lets go and rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Selena showing her agility. She can tie you up as well as she can strike!”

 

Knots: “And Xander just using his strength and size, but Selena’s moving around.”

 

Both get up and Selena hits a dropkick. Xander falls to the ropes. Selena then gets up and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Xander runs forward and takes her head off with a clothesline. The crowd ohs and Selena rolls over as the crowd cheers. Xander walks around the ring and over to Selena and drags her up and knees her in the ribs. He steps behind her and starts to pull back on the hair of Selena and starts to lock her into the Fade to Black. The crowd roars loudly as Selena struggles a bit. Xander tries to pull back and Selena grabs his arm and pushes up with her legs and backflips over him and onto the apron. Xander turns and Selena grabs the top rope and hits a jumping enziguri kick to the head. Xander falls back and Selena grabs at the top rope. Xander looks at Selena and Selena springboards to the top rope and dives forward with a dropkick to the head. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost, off the top, missile dropkick!”

 

Knots: “Just nailing Xander in the jaw. Xander may not be staying down, but hot damn, she’s making sure everything hurts!”

 

Sharper: “Allegedly that’s why Xander now claims he respects her. He didn’t feel she could throw down like this. He was damn wrong!”

 

Selena gets up and Xander rolls over as the official backs up to count, but Selena ignores Constantine and kicks Xander in the back with a hard kick. She kicks him again. Xander rolls over to his hands and knees. Selena then backs up and runs at Xander and goes for a running punt. Xander pulls back and Selena misses. She stops and turns and Xander scoops her up and onto his shoulder and drops her with a powerslam. The crowd cheers. Selena winces and rolls over. She reaches out at the ropes as Xander walks over and grabs her by the hair. He drags her up and knees her in the ribs. He then pulls her out and into a short-arm clothesline. The crowd cheers as Xander gets up.

 

Sharper: “Hard clothesline. Xander is just going to wear you down. Pure strength. Pure power.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but he also wanted to beat her quick. That Fade to Black earlier. He’s probably wanting to still humiliate her by beating her fast. But I think he’s realized she won’t stay down!”

 

The crowd chants for Xander as Xander grabs Selena and drags her up. He then pulls her up for a sidewalk slam, but Selena backflips through. The crowd boos as Selena lands behind Xander and jumps up and dropkicks him in the back. Xander falls to the ropes. Selena gets up and runs at him and jumps up, crossbodying him over the top rope and Selena goes down to the floor with him. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Up and over. Selena using her body to take Xander down.”

 

Knots: “Both landing hard!”

 

Selena rolls over as Xander rolls away. He starts to get up and grabs at the steel steps. Selena gets up and runs at him and hits a dropkick, knocking him down into the steps. Selena then gets up and grabs him and pulls him up by the head and drives him face first into the steps. Selena then turns around and pulls up the ring skirt. She looks underneath and grabs a steel chair. She lifts it up as the crowd is a mix of cheers and boos before she lifts the chair up and Xander pushes up and nails her in the jaw with a forearm. Selena drops the chair. Xander then grabs her by the arm and whips her hard into the steel steps. The top half bowls over as Selena falls to the mats. Xander then grabs the steel chair and lifts it up before turning and sliding it into the ring.

 

Sharper: “Xander doesn’t want to use the chair yet?”

 

Knots: “Yet is the clear word. He may now be thinking about extracting punishment. Just like at Under Attack.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah, but remember that Selena kept coming. He was barely able to stand at the end!”

 

Xander turns around and grabs Selena. Selena reaches up and goes for a hard right, but Xander blocks it and then scoops her up and powerslams her on the bottom half of the steps. The crowd ohs and Selena grimaces in pain and rolls over. Xander then gets up and walks back as the official counts.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Selena however rolls over and starts to get up. Xander watches her and grabs her and drags her up. He then goes to whip her across, but then stops and pulls her back, throwing her hard into the barricade, but Selena jumps up and over the barricade and runs through the crowd briefly. The crowd roars and then boos. Xander walks over to the barricade and then stops and looks down, almost annoyed before backing up. Selena notices this. She then runs back and dives over the barricade and hits a flip dive into Xander, taking him down and both fall to the mats. The crowd roars and boos.

 

Sharper: “Selena ended up in the crowd. Xander didn’t follow though!”

 

Knots: “He looked like he was annoyed by it. I think there’s something there. We know there are provisions to outline Xander’s return.”

 

Sharper: “So maybe he can’t enter the crowd. And maybe there is one thing he values more…money.”

 

Knots: “Either way, Selena Frost just took him down. Again! Using herself!”

 

Selena rolls over and starts to get up as Xander rolls over. Selena then looks at him before jumping to the apron and jumping to the middle rope and hitting a corkscrew moonsault onto Xander. The crowd ohs and boos. Xander rolls over. Selena turns and looks at him. Constantine starts to count.

Selena backs up and kicks him again. Xander rolls into the ring. Selena then looks under the ring before grabbing a second chair and sliding it in. She then turns and rolls in. Xander slowly gets up and Selena grabs the chair and lifts it up before slamming it into Xander’s back. The crowd ohs and Xander arches his back and rolls over. Selena lifts the chair up and slamming it down onto the arm of Xander. Xander rolls over. Selena then lifts the chair up again and slams it into his back. Xander rolls over. Selena places the chair down before backing up. The referee counts again.

Xander grits his teeth and pulls himself up as Selena runs across the ring and jumps up, but Xander catches her and lifts her up and then presses her just enough over his head and turns and dumps her over the top rope. She narrowly misses landing on the steel steps below as she hits the mats and rolls into the barricade. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Selena! My God! Just pressed overhead and launched!”

 

Knots: “Talk about a drop. Over ten foot drop to concrete!”

 

Sharper: “Just narrowly missed the steps too! She landed on those, it would be over!”

 

Xander looks over as Constantine drops to the floor. He starts to count.

Selena grabs at the barricade.

She gets up and Xander turns and grabs one of the monitors and pulls it out. He turns and runs at her and nails her in the head. Selena falls to the ground. Xander throws it down before turning back.

 

Sharper: “To the head! That monitor! That solid monitor!”

 

Knots: “She’s down again. But Xander’s back here!”

 

Knots backs away as Sharper stands up.

Xander pulls off the other monitor as Selena slowly stirs, blood coming down her face from the impact of monitor.

Xander then turns back around and walks over to Selena before Selena manages to hit a shot to his throat. Xander staggers back. Selena falls over to the timekeeper’s table. Xander turns back and Selena grabs the ring bell and turns and swings, nailing Xander in the face with the ring bell. The crowd ohs and Xander falls over, a trickle of blood starting to come down his face. Selena falls to the ring apron. Selena pulls herself up onto the apron and Xander uses the announce table to pull himself up. He staggers around and turns and Selena runs along the apron and hits a soccer kick to the head of Xander. Xander falls to the mats with a thud, blood starting to stream down his face. Selena ends up at the ringpost, looking out at the crowd. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Selena, a bloody mess, that snow white hair turning a shade of red, unleashes a vicious kick to the head!”

 

Knots: “Xander could be out! She got all of that kick. Right after the shot with the ring bell!”

 

Sharper: “She’s now just watching as Constantine counts. This talk about respect in this one. Neither one acting like they’ve got the win. They may have it. But they know they may keep fighting!”

He gets up and steps forward and Selena moonsaults off the top rope and right onto Xander. The crowd roars before boos start to take over. Both combatants are down in front of the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost again! Just like the moonsault off the Chamber after Under Attack, tonight, she dives off the top rope and takes Xander back down!”

 

Knots: “Both a bloody mess already and both trying to do anything to keep the other down!”

Xander doesn’t even allow the count to continue as he grabs her by the hair, dragging her up and spinning her around and throwing her into the ring. Xander slides in after.

 

Knots: “The big man is pissed!”

 

Sharper: “Violently throwing her in. He’s not looking to give her a chance to recover. He’s looking to pile on. Selena may be hurt. Hard into the ringpost!”

 

Xander then walks over and grabs one of the steel chairs. He lifts it up and turns and slams it hard into the back of Selena. The impact echoes throughout the building as the crowd ohs. Selena rolls over, arching her back in pain. Xander then unfolds the chair and places it down. He turns and grabs the second chair and unfolds it and places it next to it. The crowd roars. Selena grabs at the ropes and Xander walks over and nails her with a vicious clubbing blow to the back. The crowd ohs. Xander then spins her around and places her head between his legs. He looks around as the crowd roars. He then hoists her up for a powerbomb and steps forward, but Selena counters with a frankensteiner attempt, but Xander remains on his feet, grabs at the chairs and spins through, remaining on his feet and countering it. Selena gets up and Xander turns and runs at her and clotheslines her down. He then grabs her and again and turns and knees her in the ribs.

 

Sharper: “I don’t know what Xander’s planning, but this is bad for Selena!”

 

Knots: “He’s trying to drive her through! Powerbomb didn’t work. Now what?!”

 

Xander knees her again and then turns and whips her into the ropes and Xander scoops her up on the rebound and goes for a tilt-a-whirl, but Selena spins through and grabs Xander’s head and hits a DDT. The crowd roars. Boos follow. Selena looks up and slowly rolls over. She looks at the chairs and then grabs Xander. Xander is a bit dazed and Selena slowly drags him up before nailing him in the side of the head and then again and again before dragging him up and placing him back first on the chairs. Xander is nearly bent over them as Selena then falls into the ropes. She glances back and then springboards to the top rope and spins around and hits a double stomp, driving Xander through the chairs. The crowd ohs. Xander grimaces in pain as Selena falls over and hard to the mat.

 

Sharper: “Double stomp through the chairs! Dear God!”

She then turns and walks over to the steel chairs from earlier and folds it up before stomping on it to get rid of the dent. She lifts it up and turns and swings, nailing Xander in the shoulder. Xander staggers along the ropes. Selena then watches him before running at him and jumping up and dropkicking Xander in the face. Xander falls over and through the ropes to the apron. Xander grabs the ropes. Selena then notices the announce table behind him and takes the chair and unfolds it.

 

Sharper: “Xander in trouble! Selena swinging for the fences!”

 

Knots: “We gotta move. Xander’s in front of us. Selena’s looking to finish off!”

 

Sharper: “May be looking at a kick to finish him off!”

 

Selena then runs across the ring, bounces off and jumps off the ladder, barely getting up, but Xander catches her again and turns her onto his shoulder before turning and powerslamming her off the apron and going through the table with her. The crowd erupts in cheers as both end up in the wreckage of the announce table. Selena is laid out as Xander rolls to his back, both bleeding from the face. The crowd cheers loudly.

 

Knots: “The impact! The table exploded! Sharper?!”

 

Sharper’s headset has come off as Sharper turns and grabs it and tries to put it on. Constantine moves to the floor to check both.

She then manages to get up to her feet and falls back and over to the steel steps. Constantine rules her up. The crowd boos as Xander looks up.

 

Sharper: “Selena up! Just barely up! Refusing to stay down!”

 

Knots: “What do they have left? Selena with the heart. Xander with the hate. Xander claims respect. But what the hell needs to happen to end this?”

 

Sharper: “We don’t have a table. Chairs are destroyed in the ring. Our ringside area looks like a warzone!”

 

Xander then walks over and grabs Selena and drives her face first into the steel steps. Selena stumbles back and falls to the apron before rolling into the ring. Xander turns and grabs at the ropes and winces as he pulls himself up and then walks over and grabs Selena, pulling her up. He then clubs her in the back over and over before dragging her to the corner. Xander climbs up to the middle turnbuckle as the crowd roars. He pulls Selena up and onto the middle turnbuckle. Xander then clubs her in the back and then again and again before pulling her up and going for a double underhook. Selena keeps an arm free and fights it off before managing to pull free and manages to jump back and hits a pump kick to the face. Xander nearly falls back before leaning forward. Selena then manages to get up before turning and jumping to the middle rope and hitting a variation of the Defying Gravity. Xander remains upright, almost out on his feet.

 

Sharper: “Two kicks! Selena got all of them, but Xander’s still upright!”

 

Knots: “How! How?!”

 

Selena manages to get up and nearly falls over before running at Xander and hitting a running Glass Shard, sending Xander off the apron and through the Spanish announce table. The crowd erupts before starting to boo. Selena collapses in the ring. Constantine looks at both and starts to count.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Sharper: “Xander may be done! Three vicious kicks!”

 

Knots: “Selena’s down though too. If she’s down, this is over! It’s a double fall!”

 

3!

Selena turns and grabs at the ropes. She uses them to get up as Xander moves his arm. He rolls over as Artemis looks on stunned.

10!

 

The bell sounds and Selena collapses in the ring. The crowd boos loudly.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, Selena Frost!”

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost barely beating the ten count before collapsing.”

 

Knots: “This was a war! Both are hurt!”

 

The crowd continues to boo and a “Selena sucks!” chant starts to break out while a “Bullshit!” chant also follows. Selena rolls over as Constantine starts to check on her as Artemis checks on Xander and several people come from the back to check on both.

 

Sharper: “A war here in Philly. Selena Frost gets the last laugh, but at what cost? What is left?”

 

Knots: “Xander Valentine and Selena Frost left something of one another here.”

 

Sharper: “And neither may be the same.”

 

The crowd continues to boo Selena as she sits up, trying to regain herself as Xander is checked on too. Selena falls over.

 

Sharper: “Both were trying to get up to fight after the empty arena. Tonight…nothing left…”

 

Knots: “You’re telling me.”

 

Sharper: “Unbelievable…and we’re not done.”

 

Knots: “World Title.”

 

Sharper: “Two matches at the same time. Winners face each other. World Title on the line. James Evans faces Syren. Owen Cruze challenges Sienna Swann. Let’s take a look at how we got here while we tend to Selena and Xander.”

 

A recap video plays of the history between Syren and James Evans, Owen Cruze and Sienna Swann, and how their stories have intertwined in the year of 2019.

 

The cameras focus on the entrance way as we see shots of Konrad Raab, Casterillo, Twin Magic and others coming down. The crowd cheers a bit as we see them reach the ringside area. A few moments pass before Regan Street walks out from the back, glancing back before turning back to the ring and looking down. The crowd roars with cheers seeing her. A few more moments pass before Aaron Blackbourne limping along with Peyton Rice walk out, getting a mixed response.

 

Sharper: “The lumberjacks on their way to the ring. Many already at ringside. Many whom had made clear their desire to be here.”

 

Knots: “Some with a lot of skin in the game. Regan Street out here. Long history with everyone in there. Twin Magic for Syren. Peyton Rice and Aaron Blackbourne here for support.”

 

Glory Braddock is then seen coming out. A few moments pass before Ravyn Taylor walks out from the back with Alexander Crowe. The crowd cheers some more. The camera cuts to the ring to see them walking around, some groups forming, notably, Casterillo standing apart. Raab and Regan looking at one another. The Truelove Twins then walk out next, the crowd cheering them as they walk out. Clyde Sutter then saunters out, glancing at the Twins as they head down. Derek Adonis and Cookie Dreams are out next, getting cheers from the crowd. A “KABLAM!” chant starts to break out.  A few moments pass before Dante McCaffery, LEO and Savali start to walk out.

 

Sharper: “Well look at that…”

 

Knots: “Now who could have paid them off to ensure this all works out…

 

Sharper: “I have a few ideas.”

 

A few moments pass until Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall walk out from the back.

 

Sharper: “And perhaps almost fitting. Cassidy Carter was involved in the triple threat with Syren and Sienna Swann to start the year. She’s looking on from the outside in tonight. But that night was chaos and tonight could be too.”

 

Owen Cruze vs. Sienna Swann

Syren vs. James Evans

Double Jeopardy Match

Lumberjack Match

SCW World Championship

 

The lights straight to flicker in the arena as “The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over the PA system, the opening beats bringing the crowd to their feet, but not to cheer, but to boo.

“Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?”

Owen steps out onto the stage to an even louder outpouring of noise, looking left and right at the fans. He looks around and listens to the boos and nods before trying to refocus.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is the Double Jeopardy match for the SCW World Championship. Two matches will take place at the same time in the same ring. Cruze vs. Swann; Syren vs. Evans! The winners will then face each other. First, on his way to ring, from Los Angeles, California, he is Owen Cruze!”

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking down the ramp, only focussed on the ring.

“The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on”

Owen slides into the ring, and climbs a turnbuckle, raising his arm as his music fades, and he jumps backwards into the ring

 

Sharper: “Philadelphia being vocal. Not Cruze Country, but Owen Cruze needs to refocus. This is his night to set everything right. To try and win back the SCW World Championship.”

 

Knots: “He’ll be facing Sienna to start. Has to beat her and then either Syren or James Evans to walk out the champion. But he’s up to it. And this roster, a lot of different interests, he has to feel good looking at ringside, who is there. Probably has more friends than enemies.”

 

The opening of “Door to Door Cannibals" can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd.
 
Phillips: “Next, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”
 
The crowd roars with cheers. James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd. James then steps into the ring and walks to the center of it, removing his black hoodie, maintaining his focus. James then goes to the corner and sits on the top turnbuckle, his back to the crowd, as the screen shows James powerbombing Ace Marshall through the barricade, as well as James lifting the SCW World title above his head, as his music comes to an end.

 

Sharper: “James Evans getting a warm welcome tonight. He will face Syren to start. Syren looking for revenge after Evans tampered with the Chamber. He’s quickly turned a lot of people from him.”

 

Knots: “But he said it. He’s willing to do what is necessary to get the job done. I guess the people here in Philly respect that!”

 

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural address.

 

“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”

 

There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.

 

“INFAMOUS!”

 

The opening of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system and as the lights come back up, we find Syren standing in the middle of the stage, adorned in a jacket. The crowd boos but she doesn’t seem to care, spinning around to point to the back of her jacket where we see the words ‘DARK FANTASY’ written.

 

Sinfully Seductive

Captivatingly Corrupt

Dark Fantasy

 

Syren spins back around again before looking over her shoulder. The curtains part and CHBK walks out to join her, which only gets a cheer from the fans. Syren then begins to walk down to the ring, flicking her hair and ignoring the fans at ringside as CHBK follows. As the trio approach the ring, Crowe slides into the ring before sitting on the middle rope and pushing it down, while holding up the top rope. Syren very deliberately walks up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the ring apron before stepping between the ropes. CHBK makes his own way into the ring as Syren walks over to the middle of the ropes, stepping onto the bottom rope with one foot and the middle rope on the other.

 

Phillips: “Next, facing James Evans first, representing Infamous and accompanied by Alexander Crowe and SCW Hall of Famer CHBK, she hails from Los Angeles, California, this is Syren!”

 

She steps off the ropes and walks over to her corner. She slides off her ring jacket and tossing it in the corner. Then she backs into the corner as CHBK drops down, joining Ravyn Taylor and Alexander Crowe at ringside.

 

Sharper: “CHBK joining the Infamous contingent at ringside. Syren to face James Evans and look at her. She is pacing.”

 

Knots: “So much on the line. Remember. There are rematches either in that, you lose tonight, you’re at the back of the line waiting for a title shot!”

 

Sharper: “For Syren, for James, for Owen, and for Sienna, that’s a huge stake. They have defined themselves, in different ways, based on that title.”

 

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position. Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style" by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. The crowd boos very loudly even before Sienna walks out. When she does, with Xiomara at her side, the SCW World Championship around her waist, and wearing a wrestling robe with angelic wings already outstretched, the boos only magnify.
 
Phillips: “Accompanied by Xiomara and representing the Beauty Factory, facing Owen Cruze, from Johannesburg, South Africa, she is the SCW World Champion, the IronAngel, Sienna Swann!”

 

The boos continue as Sienna marches to the ring. Xiomara walks down with her as Sienna walks to the ring. A shot of the Truelove Twins is shown as Sienna focuses entirely on the ring.
Sienna continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide. She holds up the SCW World Championship as the boos continue to rain down on her. 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 robe. Xiomara takes it and drops down to the floor, near the Network. Sienna then hands the World Championship to senior official Aaron Demitra. Steve Hollinsworth also remains in the ring as Demitra holds the title over his head as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen. A loud “Owen sucks! So does Syren! Sienna more!” chant breaks out. Owen looks around as the cameras cut to Peyton, showing her concerned too. Sienna and Syren glare at the crowd as James just remains smirking.

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann looking to successfully defend the World Championship for the first time since winning it at Under Attack. She has to get through Owen Cruze first.”

 

Knots: “James and Syren looking at each other. And it’s a hostile environment here.”

 

Sharper: “These fans want well, clarity. They want finality. They will get it tonight.”

 

The crowd continues to chant as Demitra hands off the title. He backs up. He checks with Sienna and Owen. They nod. Hollinsworth checks with Syren and Evans. They nod. The bell sounds. Immediately, Syren runs at Evans and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another. The crowd boos as Owen and Sienna watch one another. Sienna then starts to jaw at Owen as Owen walks forward and the two watch one another and Owen goes to lock-up with Sienna. James shoves Syren off and Syren rolls over and gets up and James goes to grab her, but Syren ducks under and cuffs him in the back. James staggers back as Owen turns and moves into an arm wrench and jerks on the arm. Sienna winces as Syren grabs James and goes to whip him across, but James spins through and sends Syren in. Syren bounces off and James drills her with a clothesline. The crowd roars. Owen meanwhile grabs Sienna and sends her into the corner.

 

Sharper: “James with a hard clothesline! Syren down!”

 

Knots: “Owen’s meanwhile just wearing Sienna down!”

 

Sharper: “Two matches going on at the same time. Both separate, but obviously, people can get involved. As can all of the lumberjacks!”

 

Owen moves in and grabs Sienna and chops her. The crowd woos. Owen chops her again as Syren gets up and turns and James nails her with a hard clothesline. Syren pops up and turns and James grabs her and pushes her into the ropes and fires her off as Owen waits. Syren bounces off and James back drops her down. Owen then whips Sienna across. Syren rolls to the ropes, but stops before pulling back as Owen runs after and goes to nail Sienna, but Sienna gets a boot up. Owen staggers back. Sienna hits a dropkick. The crowd boos Sienna as Syren gets up and James kicks her in the ribs.

 

Sharper: “Syren all discombobulated! She was going to go to the floor, but stopped herself!”

 

Knots: “Doesn’t want to deal with the lumberjacks.”

 

Sharper: “And Sienna takes down Owen!”

 

James hoists Syren up, but Sienna pulls her down. James steps forward. Sienna watches as James turns and lunges at her, but Sienna ducks and stops. James stops and turns and Syren jumps up and hits a dropkick. The crowd boos. Syren gets up and Sienna nails her with a forearm shot. She then turns around and Owen hits a dropkick to her. The crowd ohs. Owen goes for the first pin of the mat.

James backs up to the ropes and bounces off before running at Syren and clotheslining her down. James then turns and pushes Owen back as Owen goes to lift Sienna up and James stomps her in the chest. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “James getting a brief measure of revenge. Sienna and James looking to take everyone on!”

 

Knots: “I don’t know how smart that is!”

 

Sharper: “Owen not crazy about it. But either way, he’s working over the Champion. Syren meanwhile in trouble too.”

 

Knots: “And this crowd wants James to kick ass!”

Sharper: “Regan with a shot!”

James then drives an elbow to the chest of Syren and goes for the pin.

James goes up and over and lands on the floor. As he does, CHBK gets a few shots in as we see Aaron Blackbourne moving around. Casterillo and Konrad walk around and Konrad pulls James up as CHBK goes to stop him. Konrad then nails CHBK with a shot. This leads Ravyn to nail Konrad with a shot. James then turns and grabs Konrad and throws him at Infamous. James turns, but Syren runs over and hits a dropkick, knocking him off and James falls into the barricade hard. Syren smirks as she backs up. Sienna meanwhile has Owen in the corner and is choking him with her boot.

 

Sharper: “Sienna choking Owen as she’s taken control. But the issue is that James Evans is on the floor! Right by Infamous and Syren is happy to enjoy this!”

 

Knots: “She’s taking a moment to watch this as Owen is in trouble. James just getting up!”

 

James starts to get up as Regan Street starts to head around. Konrad gets up and Crowe moves in and stomps away on James as the crowd boos loudly. Glory Braddock comes in and she even gets a shot in on James before grabbing him.

Sienna gets Owen up and hits a shoot kick to the chest and then another. She backs up and goes for another kick, this time a spinning back kick, but Owen blocks it and lifts her up and dumps her over the top rope. Peyton and Aaron are there. They quickly go over to her and as they do, we see Xiomara starting to walk around, along with the Trueloves. The Network watches as Peyton and Aaron lift her up and roll her back in. The crowd boos loudly. Owen nods to them before he pulls Sienna up and quickly hoists her up and hits a vertical suplex before swivelling his hips. He pops back up, holding onto her and hits a sitout facebuster. Syren meanwhile kicks at James before James grabs her, pulling her through the ropes to the floor. The crowd roars as Casterillo, Regan and the Network all start to come after her. Cassidy Carter also starts to come through along with Ace and Casterillo grabs Syren before Dante gets a shot in. The crowd roars. CHBK, Crowe and Ravyn start to head around before James suddenly shrugs and climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars and cheers as James then dives off onto the group of people below.

 

Sharper: “James Evans! Syren in the midst of a fight. Everyone going after her! But James…he wants her too!”

 

Knots: “James just dove off the top and took everyone down there!”

 

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter, Casterillo, Regan Street…and the Network even getting involved. I guess Sienna sees Syren as the threat. But James fearless and taking everyone out!”

Cassidy turns and spits at Xiomara as Ace lets go of Sienna as LEO nails him with a kick to the ribs. Sienna then rolls into the ring as Syren mounts James hammering away before getting up. She then looks around, as she moves to the corner.

James looks around and shrugs before sees Syren getting up and James runs at her and spears her back into the corner. He rears back and spears her again and again as Owen starts to get up.

She turns to Owen who suddenly lifts her up and hits a hot shot. Sienna staggers back and Owen turns and runs into the ropes.

Knots: “Sienna knew she’d be there. Sienna is turning into Infamous! They’re just pulling from their play book! Syren Swann indeed!”

 

Sharper: “But now it’s James Evans and Sienna Swann. One of them will be the World Champion!”

 

Knots: “But not with Syren watching. Infamous did the damage. Now they’re leaving.”

 

Sharper: “Supposed to stay out here, but I’d prefer them gone!”

 

Sienna turns.

 

Sienna: “Get him in here!”

 

Sienna looks around as the Truelove Twins, Cassidy Carter, Ace Marshall, Cookie, Adonis, and others all just look at her. James rolls over. Just then, at this point, we see a commotion as we then see Chris Cannon moving through the crowd. Xiomara heads around the ring and the Trueloves stop her, but as this happens, Chris pushes one security guard out of the way and moves to the floor and grabs James. He then runs him into the steel steps. James staggers back and Chris rolls him into the ring. Sienna smiles as Chris then backs up and quickly, security, along with Hollinsworth and Demitra stop him. They pull him back, restraining him. Chris just smiles.

 

Sharper: “Chris Cannon coming from the crowd!”

 

Knots: “No one would get Sienna in. But Chris…had to be in the arena. I assume bought a ticket!”

 

Sharper: “Who knows? But he’s being treated as a fan who hops the guardrail. He’s getting arrested. He’s getting out of here. So Sienna better take advantage. This may be her moment!”

 

Knots: “James getting attacked by Infamous. Now Cannon!”

 

James rolls over and slowly starts to get up. The crowd boos loudly as Sienna steps up and hits a forearm and then a back elbow and then a kick to the leg and then another forearm, a spinning back fist and then a back kick to the jaw. James falls to the corner, a result of the end of the Angel’s Wrath. The boos continue as Syren stops Infamous halfway up the rampway. Sienna then grabs James and pulls him out and hits a DDT.

Sienna then drags him into the corner where she stomps him in the face again before stomping him over and over and starting to choke him.

 

Sharper: “Sienna thought that would be it. She’s now frantically attacking James Evans!”

 

Knots: “She has him down. She wants to keep him there!”

 

Sharper: “Owen Cruze meanwhile not pleased. The situation not what he wanted.

 

Knots: “Syren’s still in the entrance way. I think she may still want to be involved!”

She backs up and James rolls over. He starts to get up and Sienna waits a moment longer before lunging for the Kiss of an Angel. James however just lunges back and drills her with a vicious clothesline from hell. The crowd erupts in cheers. James slowly gets up, holding his shoulder and letting out a yell. The crowd continues to cheer as Sienna slowly rolls over. James then grabs her and whips her into the corner. James turns and runs after her and nails her with the Laces Out! The crowd erupts in cheers as Sienna drops to the mat.

 

Sharper: “James got all of that kick! The Laces Out!”

 

Knots: “And James is running off I don’t know what!”

 

Sharper: “Like a switch flipped or something!”

 

James turns around as Sienna slowly crawls up as Xiomara looks around. The Truelove Twins smile. Sienna gets up and James runs over and clotheslines her down. He turns and grabs Sienna. He drags her up before pulling her back by her head and looking around. He hits the Twinge. The crowd cheers. James goes for the pin.

Sienna shoots her shoulder up. James looks down and takes a deep breath as a “James!” chant starts to break out. James looks around as Sienna rolls over. She crawls to the ropes. She then grabs at them and we see Casterillo standing by them. Sienna looks at him and then backs up as James then waits for her. Sienna turns around and Sienna lunges, going for a hard right, but James blocks it and then kicks her in the ribs. He then hoists her up. Sienna kicks her legs, but just then, we see Syren slide into the ring. Sienna slides down from behind.

 

Sharper: “Damn it! Syren! Syren hitting the ring! Going right for James!”

 

Knots: “This is all personal there. Not just about the World Title!”

 

Demitra goes to get her out and we see Aaron Blackbourne and Peyton Rice grab at her and pull her out. James steps up and kicks at her. Syren rolls out of the ring. James then turns around and Sienna nails him with the Kiss of an Angel!

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann with the Kiss of an Angel! Did Syren just help Sienna actually win the title just to get revenge against James Evans?!”

 

Knots: “This crowd is not happy! Not at all!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Sienna turns and hooks the leg. Syren is pulled back. She just has a smile on her face.

The crowd boos loudly. Almost immediately, a popcorn bag hits the ring.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner and still SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Syren looks in the ring as Regan Street looks up too and so do several others. At this point, Xiomara enters the ring as trash starts to come from the crowd. Demitra hands her the World Championship and Sienna looks around, annoyed as a loud “Bullshit!” chant begins to break out. Sienna Swann looks around as Xiomara then grabs the title and raises Sienna’s arm, intentionally forcing her to stand up to the trash.

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann is still the World Champion. Everything thrown at James Evans and the Kiss of an Angel seals it.”

 

Knots: “Think about this…no masked people. Just Chris Cannon and even Syren helped Sienna Swann win. She wanted James to crash and burn more than for Sienna to not walk out champion!”

 

Sharper: “I’m in sure!”

 

There is a roar of boos as the chants continue from the crowd as Sienna Swann is celebrating their victory in the ring, holding the SCW World Championship belt aloft, when the Philadelphia crowd becomes even more raucous as “The Authority Song” by John Mellencamp explodes in the arena. Sienna looks toward the entrance, wondering what is going on along with everyone else who is in the Wells Fargo Center.

Sharper: “I know whose music that is ladies and gentlemen, but we have not saw him in a very long time in SCW, and you have to wonder what on earth he would be coming out for now.”

Knots: “If you are right Sharper, and I believe you are, the only thing I know for sure is that Sienna cannot be too happy at the idea of anyone stealing their thunder.”

The song plays for about 20 seconds before Kellen Jeffries walks out on stage to a very raucous audience. Dressed in a light grey Armani suit and Wingtips to match, Kellen is for once all smiles as he brings a microphone to his lips as the song abruptly stops but the crowd does not, raucous as ever.

Sharper: “Obviously we were not expecting Kellen Jeffries, especially since he hasn’t been in SCW since Taking Hold of the Flame, but I would assume he has a good reason for being here.”

Knots: “He better have a good reason!”

Kellen: “Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, you have been one hell of a crowd tonight haven’t you? Why don’t all of you make some noise for yourselves and Supreme Championship Wrestling!

As if on cue, the roaring crowd becomes even louder for moment. Kellen pauses and lets the crowd cheer wildly, a smirk on his face still before he continues.

Kellen: “And last, but not least, Sienna, that is a helluva accomplishment tonight, so give it up for your SCW World Champion everybody!”

The crowd boos uproariously, as soda cups and various trash start to be thrown at the ring, while Sienna can be seen back in the ring mouthing the words at Kellen “Why are YOU here?”

Sharper: “That’s the question on everyone’s mind.”

Knots: “That’s the million dollars question, Sharper.”

Kellen: “I actually have an opportunity to equal that feat in two weeks when I have the chance to wrestle for the GCW World Championship, but the GCW World Championship is not why I am here right now. I am here because way back in February along with Glory Braddock and Regan Street I won the SCW Trios Tournament which of course means that I still have a Trios contract, and SCW? SCW has a little get together New Years Even night called the End of the Special!”

The crowd is beside itself cheering madly while Kellen is still smirking on stage and back in the ring Sienna Swann, now with Xiomara, is standing there mouth agape.

Sharper: “I think everyone knows why Kellen is here now!”

Knots: “He certainly does have the knack for making announcements, what a time to tell the world the he could be a double World Champion by the end of the year!”

Kellen: “Now if you remember, one of the things that I always said I wanted but hadn’t yet won in my wrestling career when I signed with SCW in January was a World Championship, and now I could have two. But this is SCW, and I am sure that Sienna will agree on the night where they defeated three of the best wrestlers in the world for that belt, that SCW doesn’t do something unless its Supreme! So, I started thinking to myself “Self, what could be even better than making the SCW World Champion defend the SCW World Championship belt against Moi at the End of the Year Special in Montreal?”

Sharper: “What is he talking about?”

Knots: “I don’t have any idea, so don’t look at me.”

Kellen: “Then I remembered a man by the name of Dylan Howell, and how he won his lifelong dream and became the SCW Adrenaline Championship at the End of the Year Special Battle Royal in 2017 almost two years ago. I remember how Dylan and ANYONE who wanted to in ALL of wrestling could enter that battle royal for the Adrenaline Championship thanks to Ace Marshall and his Trios contract. Then I started to smile just like I am now, because I got a helluva idea, and I went and talked to Sasha and the Board of Directors and you know what? The board thinks I am just a little bit insane, but they LOVE my idea….”

The crowd starts to cheer louder than ever, realizing what might be happening.

Knots: “Sharper you don’t think?!”

Sharper: “I do and I know what this crowd thinks too!”

Kellen: “So, Sienna this year we are going to have some fun, and we are going to do it Supreme! Because I have already given Sasha my signed Trios contract and this year in 30 days at the End of the Year Battle Royal where ANYONE in ALL of wrestling can enter will be for the SCW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!”

 

Sharper: “What?!”

 

Knots: “You’re kidding me!”

“The Authority Song” explodes again as the crowd cheerswith Kellen smiling and Sienna stunned in the ring.

Sharper: “We came here for Clarity tonight ladies and gentlemen and now things are more confusing than ever!”  

Knots: “You are not kidding. The End of the Year Special Battle Royal, and anyone in wrestling could walk out the SCW World Champion! No wonder Sasha said she couldn’t say more!”

Sharper: “It’s going to be a wild ride ladies and gentlemen! For Jonathan Knots, I am Adam Sharper, good night Philadelphia!”

 

Sienna Swann continues to show her unhappiness as the roster at ringside is stunned as the scene fades to black…
