“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

MAIN SHOW:

 

 

 

The SCW End of the Year Special opens with a shot of Montreal’s skyline at night.

 

“Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the SCW End of the Year Special, 2019!”

 

The scene then cuts to the inside of Centre Bell in Montreal as the crowd cheers as the spotlights circle around the arena.

 

“Please now welcome your hosts for the End of the Year Special…Derek Adonis and Cookie Dreams!”

 

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!


The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’sWanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis! Adonis walks out from the back, wearing an all-white suit and top hat with Cookie Dreams wearing a white sparkly dress. She looks around and smiles as they walk over to the podium that has become a hallmark of the event.

 

Cookie: “Oh my God! We’re hosting! This is official! It’s totally official. We are the best hosts of SCW!”

 

Derek: “Well I meant after the massive…KABLAM!...praise you got at Taking Hold of the Flame and they just needed a bit of Man Mountain for the ladies!”

 

The crowd roars and some women can be heard screaming. Derek looks around.

 

Cookie: “We’re something for everyone! Just like SCW!”

 

Derek: “And we’re here to say goodbye to 2019, a year of some UPs…”

 

Derek looks around.

 

Derek: “KABLAM!”

 

Cookie: “And downs…”

 

Cookie looks down, shaking her head.

 

Cookie: “But we’re going to say goodbye with a bang!”

 

Derek: “KABLAM!”

 

The crowd roars. Cookie and Derek look around.

 

Cookie: “Now it’s a biiiiiig-“

 

Derek: “KABLAM!”

 

Cookie turns to Derek. Derek looks at her and then looks around, a bit sheepishly. The crowd just cheers. Cookie smiles a bit.

 

Cookie: “As I was saying…it’s a biiiiiig-“

 

Cookie turns to Derek. Derek looks around.

 

Cookie: “…night tonight. There are no other matches tonight. Just the End of the Year Open Invitational. And the winner gets that car right there….”

 

We cut to the right of the stage to see a 2020 Cadillac Escalade.

 

Cookie: “A brand new Cadillac Escalade and two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”

 

Derek: “But that’s not all!!!!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Cookie: “The winner will be the SCW World Champion!”

 

Cookie applauds and bounces as the crowd cheers. Derek smiles too.

 

Cookie: “Now before that moment, where the World Title will be on the line, we’ll be going backstage, seeing who may be entering, who is jockeying for position-“

 

Derek: “KABLAM!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Cookie: “…and who can be….”

 

Derek: “Entering this match!”

 

Derek smiles as he looks around.

 

Cookie: “But not only that…we have prizes! We have awards!”

 

Cookie holds up the first award envelope, shaking it and excitedly bouncing.

 

Derek: “That we do! We’re going to be talking about who is the best, what moments everyone remembers, and the year that was!”

 

Cookie: “So let’s kick this off! Find out who had a really good 2019…who had the best first year of their SCW careers. Who was the Rookie of the Year?!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Cookie: “Drum roll please!”

 

Derek looks around as there’s no drumroll. Cookie looks around and pouts.

 

Cookie: “I said drum roll!”

 

Cookie turns to Derek. Derek looks around.

 

Derek: “Badumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum-KABLAM!”

 

Cookie: “I’ll take it.”

 

Derek and Cookie then look eyes. Derek is about to say something.

 

Cookie: “Don’t Derek…this is someone else’s moment.”

 

Derek nods. He backs away. Cookie smiles before sliding out the card in the envelope.

 

Cookie: “Peyton Rice!”

 

“All The Days" by Mammoth plays as the crowd cheers. Cookie and Derek back up before we see Peyton Rice walk out from the back and look out at the crowd. She smiles as she looks around. The crowd continues to cheer for her. Peyton continues to watch the crowd, scanning it before walking over to the podium where Derek Adonis hands her an End of the Year Special Award. Peyton takes it, smiling before she looks at it before walking over to the podium. She looks around.

 

Peyton: “Wow…Rookie of the Year….it’s been an up and down one in some ways. Watching what has been happening in SCW. But holding onto the Television Championship. Having the opportunity to face so many on the roster… and knowing it’s only up from here…It was the first year, but only just that, the first year. And I’m going to use this award to remind me going forward just what I can do. That I’m just getting started! Just like people like Aaron, Owen, AlistaireKelcey Wallace!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Peyton: “We’re all just getting started. All getting started as we look to lead SCW into something new! To what it should be!”

 

The crowd cheers some more. Peyton then looks at the award.

 

Peyton: “Thank you again. And 2020 is going to be more than just pretty…and more than what we all know it can be!”

 

“All The Days" by Mammoth plays again as Peyton steps back and holds the award over her head. She plays to the crowd a bit as they continue to cheer her. The scene then slowly fades out.


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

 

“And now the Most Shocking Moment of 2019…”

 

We open up with Katya D. in the middle of the ring with Ravyn Taylor, Syren and CHBK.

 

Katya: “I can’t fire or hire. But I can do something necessary. Because as of right now, the SCW Adrenaline Championship, the SCW United States Championship, and the SCW World Tag Team Championship…they are vacated-“

 

Sharper: “Wait, what-“

 

“Cult of Personality” then starts to play.

 

Katya: “I’m not done yet!”

 

The music however continues to play as Katya turns to the entrance way.

 

Katya: “Cut the music!”

 

Katya looks at the entrance before we see Mr. D walk out from the back with Sasha. The crowd cheers seeing Katya’s father and her sister.

 

Knots: “Well I guess the clock struck midnight!”

 

Sharper: “The boss! Katya’s father! And her sister! Both board members are coming to the ring!”

 

Katya just glares.

 

Katya: “I’m still in control damn it!”

 

Mr. D and Sasha walk down to the ring and Mr. D walks over to the steel steps. He walks up them and walks along the apron. He then steps into the ring. Sasha steps in after and Mr. D walks over to his daughter. Katya goes to bring the microphone up again, but Mr. D stops her, calmly and lightly touching her wrist and asking for the microphone. She just looks at him. Mr. D takes the microphone. Sasha stands behind her father as Dark Fantasy stands behind Katya.

 

Mr. D: “Katya…I’m glad I chose that moment to make my walk to the ring. Because you sounded like you were about to make a decision that was going to have some serious affects. You may want to hold onto that idea.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Mr. D: “See, Katya, I hope you’re proud of what your track record showed for the last four weeks. You had control of SCW’s booking unhindered…at least minus a few necessary issues. Issues I would’ve had your sister deal with. But she’s here for another reason.”

 

Katya can be seen saying “I’m not finished yet.”

 

Mr. D: “I know you’re not. And while you’ve been running SCW, I’ve been having several very important meetings behind closed doors. Even such that your allies here couldn’t find out the information, at least without leaks being found out. And Katya, regardless of your controversial approach and the company you keep, ratings have been not just stable, but improving, and earlier this week, the Board of Directors agreed to allow you to join your sister and I as Board Members.”

 

Katya smiles. CHBK smirks. Syren does too.

 

Mr. D: “So Katya…you’ve at least proven that you want some role in this business and provided you accept, it’s yours.”

 

Knots: “Of course. Gotta worry about the bottom line.”

 

Sharper: “He didn’t say Sasha or he were in favour…at least yet.”

 

Katya just smiles and nods.

 

Mr. D: “Then it’s yours. I’m proud of you. I may disagree with some things, but you’ve handled yourself at least with conviction…your own. And this leads me to why I’m out here.”

 

Mr. D turns to Sasha and then back to Katya.

 

Mr. D: “I chose four weeks for a reason. To buy me time…to see if I could actually come out here and choose between the two of you. At Trios, when the Rise to Greatness advertisement played again, and I saw how we were a family…a trend so many focus on, but one that is important…I realized that if I chose either one, I’d likely lose the other. SCW always was at its heart a family business with me at its head and now with both of you in it. But I’m not going to be one to choose. In fact…I’m not going to play any role. Because as of Retribution, I will be stepping down as the CEO and Chairman of SCW’s Board of Directors.”

 

Sharper: “What?”

 

The crowd boos some, while some look stunned. Mr. D looks at Katya and then Sasha before turning and placing the microphone down. He steps through the ropes and down to the floor. CHBK looks surprised as does Ravyn. Syren turns to them as Katya looks stunned as Sasha just looks at her sister. The scene cuts to black.

 

“The Most Shocking Moment of 2019 – Mr. D steps down as CEO and Chairman of SCW.”

 

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


 

We return to a live shot of the Centre Bell to see Cookie Dreams and Derek Adonis on the stage.

 

Derek: “That was shocking indeed. I mean, we upgraded from Mr. D to Sasha and well-“

 

Cookie: “She let us host at Taking Hold of the Flame! And tonight too! Clearly a good judge of talent. Totally in good hands.”

 

Derek: “What about my hands? What if we made this Supreme Kablamionship Wrestling!

 

Cookie: “That would need to change the name.”

 

Derek: “We can go with the hard Ch!”

 

Cookie: “Anyway...”

 

Derek smiles.

 

Derek: “We are VERY diversified at KABLAM Labs!”

 

Cookie: “We are.”

 

Derek nods and smiles some more.

 

Cookie: “And we’re going to be adding to someone’s award case here. We’ve got another award!”

 

Derek: “Oh! I’ll do this one!”

 

Cookie: “All yours!”

 

Derek: “Just like Sasha was a good eye for talent with you Cookie, we’re going to find out who the fans think is the future of SCW…the Star of Tomorrow!”

 

Derek grabs the envelope and turns to Cookie.

 

Cookie: “Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…”

 

Cookie also pats the podium, making her own drumroll effects. She stops as Derek pulls out the card.

 

Derek: “Jordan Majors!”

 

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. She then turns and walks over to the podium and looks at Derek Adonis and then Cookie. As she walks over, we then suddenly see Jake Starr running out and mimicking Jordan’s entrance. Jordan turns and takes the award, handed to her by Cookie and shakes her head.

 

Jordan: “What are you doing?”

 

Jake smiles and walks over.

 

Jake: “Supporting my little sis!”

 

Jordan: “Well…uh…thanks…”

 

Jake: “Plus, I wanted to see the award. Never won that one.”

 

Jordan rolls her eyes and sighs.

 

Jordan: “Well its mine. Okay. And apparently some people around here, watching SCW think there’s big things for me!”

 

Jake: “What about us?!”

 

Jordan: “Sure…that too. I mean, it may start tonight, when both of us walk down there, looking to become the World Champion!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Jordan: “It could be when we beat up the Tag Team Champions in a street fight on Breakdown next week!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Jordan: “Or it could be when Jordan Majors and Jake Starr just take over SCW. I mean you’ve done it once. I can do it by your side or maybe leading the way as –“

 

Jake: “The Exquisite Oysters.”

 

Jordan stops. The crowd roars.

 

Jordan: “What?”

 

Jake: “Our name!”

 

Jordan: “I thought it was something else.”

 

Jake: “No. Totally Exquisite Oysters.”

 

Jordan sighs.

 

Jordan: “Either way…can I.”

 

Jake backs up and nods. Jordan motions for him to step farther back. He slinks back. She motions again. Jake backs up more.

 

Jordan: “SCW…So I’m the Star of Tomorrow. This year, I beat Ravyn Taylor twice. I’m now standing with my brother. I found myself…and 2020…it’s looking damn good. And it starts tonight!”

 

Jordan steps back and takes her award. “Nightmare” by Halsey plays throughout the arena as the crowd cheers. Jake Starr smiles and applauds a bit as Jordan holds up her award and heads to the back.


Backstage, cameras catch Syren with Alexander Crowe talking to Kandis backstage. Kandis nods and walks off as Jessica Winters walks over to Syren. Crowe gets Syren’s attention and turns, revealing he’s carrying a briefcase.

 

Jessica: “Syren…what’s this? You’re talking to Kandis. I thought Ryan Watson wanted nothing to do with you all and now you’re going after one of his trainees!”

 

Syren: “I’m not going after anyone. I’m sharing information. Information that should matter to anyone backstage planning to enter the Open Invitational later.”

 

Jessica: “What do you mean? Is this what that briefcase is about? We heard rumours you were putting bounties up, but you actually are?!”

 

Syren: “Damn right I am. What? You’re going to judge me for that. No. I’m just making sure people get their money’s worth. I’ve got a bunch of these briefcases. One to whoever takes out Sienna Swann. Eliminates her later tonight. They get one hundred thousand dollars. Same to whoever takes out James Evans when I’m sure he’s going to take his shot later. If Giovanni Aries is out here, same to whoever takes them out. I don’t care if they help me win the whole thing. I just want those three gone. Sure, I can do it myself. I’d keep the money. But let’s give some extra benefit to some of those joining in. You can make sure you walk out with some money. And get rid of three people who shouldn’t be in that ring anywhere close to the World Title.”

 

Jessica: “Where…where did you get this money? Is this a plan with CHBK-“

 

Syren: “He’s not even here. Wasn’t even able to make the trip after he returned to Toronto. And this…this is just from my savings. The good thing about being champion – a lot of money. Same for Ravyn. Same for CHBK. And we’re spreading some of it. What? Sienna does it? We’re more similar. Please…whoever cashes in, enjoy the money. They can then try to take me on for the title tonight. Face me out there. I’ll prove why I’m the best. And everyone can enter 2020 so TOTALLY JEALOUS!”

 

Syren then steps forward.

 

Syren: “Now, unless you’re jumping in the ring, I need to make sure more people know what’s really at stake tonight.”

 

The crowd boos as Syren and Alexander Crowe head off. The camera turns to Jessica.

 

Jessica: “Syren offering bounties. Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews not explicitly with her, but you have to think they’re somewhere in the Bell Centre too. Tonight’s Open Invitational just keeps getting more and more unprecedented and it’s all for the World Championship!”


The scene opens back to the stage as Cookie Dreams and Derek Adonis are on the stage.

 

Cookie: “Looks like things are heating up backstage. Everyone is looking to do some last minute prep!”

 

Derek: “Well they can always take advantage of the latest concept from KABLAMAerobics, the KABLAMelle! You can make sure you’re nice and stretched and ready to go for ANYTHING!”

 

Derek looks around and smiles. The crowd roars.

 

Cookie: “Well that’s the latest from us! A great team and we’re about to announce the Tag Team of 2019!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Cookie: “Derek, drumroll!”

 

Before Derek can start, an actual drumroll starts to come over the announce system.

 

Cookie: “Damn, you’re good!”

 

Derek: “Not the first time a lady has told me that. KABLAM!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Cookie: “Well, without further delay…your tag team of 2019….”

 

Cookie opens the envelope and pulls out the card.

 

Cookie: “Redemption!”

 

“Alive” by POD blares through the sound system, as the crowd begins to cheer. Cookie steps back applauding and bouncing. The music plays for a few moments before James Evans walks out from the back. He looks around and then walks over to the podium. Derek holds two awards and James walks over and takes one of them. James looks at it and then turns and grabs the other one. Derek loses grip and James takes it and turns to him, while leaning over to the microphone on the podium.

 

James: “Don’t worry I’ll take both. Angelica won’t be here. And her daughters can take it up with me if they want…or Sienna could. They’re buddy-buddy.”

 

James scoffs.

 

James: “You know what…”

 

James turns and tosses the award off the side of the stage. It crashes to the concrete below. James takes his.

 

James: “She can get it herself. Angelica can spend her time with Sienna. Because I’m going to take something in return…her World Title…and Syren can pay off who she wants. Giovanni can get involved too. I’m ready for war!”

 

James steps back and turns around as “Door to Door Cannibals” by Chevelle plays throughout the arena. James just walks back through the curtain. Cookie and Derek watch him a bit taken aback by James’ actions as the scene fades to black.


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

 

“And now the Feud of 2019…”

 

A shot of the crowd cheering before we cut to a wide shot of the Tactical Warfare cage at Retribution 2019 to see Owen Cruze getting helped up, and then showing him helping Kennedy Street up. Regan Street helps Selena Frost up and the four stand in the ring celebrating.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Owen Cruze, Regan Street, Kennedy Street & Selena Frost – Team Sasha!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Thank God! Thank God! And Owen Cruze sneaking in at the moment. Seeing the opportunity…to take Syren down and cover her. He just pinned the World Champion and saved this company!”

 

The scene cuts to show Mr. D as he smiles, watching a monitor, while dressed to leave. He grabs his bags and heads out of the building.

 

Sharper: “And Mr. D watching the end result of the pay per view main event he will book in SCW. And his eldest daughter putting together the team that won.”

 

Knots: “Almost a look of relief along with pride.”

 

As he steps farther away from the building, the image cuts. We then hear a voice.

 

“Get help! Get help!”

 

We cut to see a shot of the front window of the car, a bloody hole before we see Mr. D down next to the car, blood coming down his face, presumably from the attack.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God…”

 

Knots: “Who…who would do that?!”

 

We then cut to see a shot of the security footage showing it to be Xander Valentine and Artemis, before cutting to a shot of Xander Valentine booting Mr. D in the face again.

 

Sasha moves to the corner as Xander walks over toward her. He then stands over her.

 

Xander: “He deserved it for how he treated me. And if you follow in kind, I will do the same to you.”

 

Quick cuts follow of Selena Frost, Kennedy Street and Regan Street running to the ring, before showing Xander Valentine getting pulled away by security guards. This is followed by a shot of Mr. D on a stretch backstage before showing Selena heading over to him.

 

Selena: “You need to stay down. Probably have a concussion.”

 

Mr. D: “I’m fine.”

 

Trainer: “O, we need to you to listen. You’d tell them to stay down. We need you to do the same.”

 

Mr. D: “Even saw it coming.”

 

Selena: “Well, we’re all going to make sure he regrets it.”

 

This cuts to shots of Selena Frost hitting a dive off her tour bus into Xander Valentine before showing her hitting the Defying Gravity at Rise to Greatness. Xander staggers back and falls over.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost has knocked him out! She’s knocked Xander out!”

 

Knots: “Those kicks! Those kicks caught him right where they needed to! Thank God! Xander Valentine still doesn’t know where he is!”

 

The crowd cheers before we see shots of Xander Valentine standing over Selena Frost, starting to choke her before showing shots of Xander Valentine standing in the ring and looking around.

 

Xander: “I was knocked out. Selena Frost…knocked me out.”

 

Xander looks down as the crowd cheers again.

 

Xander: “A lucky shot and now that’s how I will be known. For years I was feared….last year I was disrespected…for months I was everyone’s focus. And now, I’m known as the man Selena Frost knocked out at Rise to Greatness.”

 

ander then walks over to the barricade and looks around before stepping over.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute!”

 

Xander then steps forward and boots one male fan in the face. The crowd ohs and several fans look stunned. Xander then nails another male fan with a forearm.

 

Sharper: “What the hell are you doing?!”

 

Security quickly runs over and one guard grabs Xander. Xander turns and grabs him by the throat and lifts him up in a double choke before stepping forward and throwing him over the barricade and into the matted area. The crowd ohs. Another guard gets nailed by Xander with a hard right. Several other guards start to rush around as Xander turns and grabs another male fan by the arm and pulls him in and knees him in the ribs. He drops and then he turns and grabs a child fan. The child looks up and screams. But security reaches the scene and two grab Xander and pull him back. The crowd looks on, as noise fills the arena.

 

Sharper: “This is insane! He’s attacking fans!”

 

Knots: “No! He’s attacking True Believers! He’s attacking Selena fans I guess. Or he’s assuming they are!”

 

Sharper: “Children too?!”

 

Xander wrestles free and knees one guard before nailing another. A few more come onto scene. One tackles him from behind, but Xander manages to remain on his feet. We then see Regan Street and Selena Frost running out from the back. This is followed by shots of Xander Valentine hitting the Martial Bane on Selena off the apron, throwing her through the announce table at Apocalypse.

 

The scene cuts to show the Empty Arena match where shots of Selena Frost and Xander Valentine striking each other in the backstage area with weapons stars before we see Selena bloodying Xander Valentine’s nose with a kick and then showing Xander Valentine throwing Selena into the chairs in the empty crowd. The Chamber is shown hanging over the ring as we see Selena Frost moonsaulting off of it and onto Xander before showing Xander hitting the Martial Bane off the steel, causing her to collapse to the mat. Xander Valentine struggling to get up follows.

 

We cut to Breakdown to see Xander Valentine standing in the middle of the ring.

 

Xander: “After that match, I contacted Sasha and I offered to pay the costs for restitution out of my paycheque. I even signed autographs and offered my personal apologies. Owed entirely to my new found respect for you Selena. And while I have new safeguards I will need to navigate to maintain my career…SCW has elected to end their suspension of yours truly, based on the sincerity of my respect. And Selena-“

 

Just before Xander can continue, we see Selena Frost walking out from the back, still in her wrestling gear. She has a microphone in her hand.

 

Selena: “Are you kidding me? I don’t for one second believe that you have any respect for me or anyone else in this company? Not after everything. You can pay for your sins and all you did to my true believers. SCW can ensure of it. THEY can accept it all, but I refuse to accept this crap!”

 

Xander: “Listen to your true believers…if you feel I am full of crap, then you can get one more measure of revenge…and even stand tall again.”

 

Selena continues to look around before turning to Xander.

 

Selena: “I am not sure what you’re getting at, but you are not going to stand tall. Instead…you will be knocked out again because Xander, that’s what set you off before. You truly respect me…then you will respect my ability to KNOCK YOU OUT. At Clarity, you and me, one last time….Last Person Standing!”

 

We cut to Clarity to see Xander and Selena standing across from one another. The bell sounds and Selena runs right at Xander and nails him with a forearm and then another. Both are seen striking before we see Selena crossbodying Xander up and over the top rope. A shot follows of Xander powerslamming Selena Frost on the steel steps and Selena then hitting a corkscrew moonsault onto Xander on the floor. Shots of Selena hitting Xander in the back with a chair, before showing Xander press slamming Selena over the top rope to the floor follow. Both are shown bleeding before showing Selena Frost hitting a moonsault off the top rope to the floor and onto Xander Valentine. We then cut to see Xander throwing Selena hard into the ringpost before showing Selena Frost double stomping Xander through open chairs in the ring. We then see Xander powerslamming Selena off the apron and through the announce table. The crowd cheers. This is followed by a shot of Selena hitting a pump kick to the face of Xander and then a variation of the Defying Gravity and then a running Glass Shard, sending Xander off the apron and through the Spanish announce table. The referee counting ten follows before the sound of the bell. Selena collapses in the ring.

 

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 scene fades to black.

 

“The Feud of 2019….Xander Valentine vs. Selena Frost…”

 

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


Returning to the stage, Cookie Dreams and Derek Adonis look out.

 

Derek: “I was hoping I’d get my hands on that horrible Manvel…trying to break things up. That was the real feud…or after Clarity…”

 

Cookie: “Easy Derek…Don’t need to explode-“

 

Derek: “Kablam.”

 

Cookie: “…with anger.”

 

Derek sighs.

 

Cookie: “Let’s just focus on the next award.”

 

Derek: “You’re right. So good to me. Why you’re the best manager…this should be straight forward!”

 

Derek grabs the envelope and opens it up. The drumroll plays. Derek then looks up.

 

Derek: “The Manager of 2019…”

 

Derek slides out the card. His heart drops.

 

Derek: “Laura Steinbeck!”

 

The crowd boos as “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play. Derek just sighs as Cookie nods and tells him it’s okay as Cookie goes to grab the award to present it instead when Xiomara Diaz walks out from the back. The crowd boos loudly. Derek turns as Cookie glares at Xiomara. Xiomara walks over to Cookie and smirks before grabbing the award. Cookie doesn’t give it immediately and Xiomara pulls it away and glares at her.

 

Xiomara: “Next time, you’ll give me what I want. Don’t make me crack you in the jaw again.”

 

The crowd boos as Cookie looks at her and backs up, clearly trying to prevent herself from doing something.

 

Xiomara: “It is good that finally Laura gets the adulation she deserves. She’s taken Sienna to the top. Made her and everyone else that she’s worked with a star. And now, people know she’s the best. I will take this for her and place it in her hospital room as she recovers from an unfortunate accident. But the greatest gift will be Sienna Swann proving to everyone that she is simply the best by walking out World Champion. Thank you!”

 

Xiomara then backs up as “Style” by Taylor Swift plays. She turns to Cookie and Derek and glare at them before sternly walking to the back, holding the trophy.

 

Cookie: “Let’s…uh…go to ringside, where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are gearing up to call the action…”


Cookie keeps watching Xiomara as the scene cuts to ringside. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots sit behind their announce desk and turn to the camera.

 

Sharper: “A bit of tension there. I should say a lot of it. Big night for a lot of people.”

 

Knots: “I don’t think that had anything to do with the Open Invitational. I think it had to do with the last World Title match, the Double Jeopardy match. Xiomara got a great shot in on Cookie.”

 

Sharper: “Indeed. Folks, Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots, and tonight, we may see one of the highest stakes matches in the history of professional wrestling. A quarter million dollars, a new Cadillac Escalade and the SCW World Championship.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and we know Syren’s handing out more money. They all want to be champion. This has been the story of the year. Syren doing anything for it. Sienna Swann too. Add people like James Evans. Jordan Majors and Jake Starr throwing themselves in. I’m looking forward to this. People better be taking this seriously. You can change your career. Make your name.”

 

Sharper: “And this is a night where we’ve seen some surprises. Recall 2006 when Dillusion won his World Championship and setting himself up for good. David Helms made his name on this night in 2010.”

 

Knots: “And who knows who could enter. ANYONE can. And if people don’t like it. Don’t let them win. Show up and fight. Show up and fight for the glory, to win the title, or for the extra money!”

 

Sharper: “Don’t think Syren doesn’t realize what she’s doing – offering money for eliminations. I’ve heard that it’s one hundred thousand dollars, the same amount as the bonus SCW offers for anyone holding the World Championship each month.”

 

Knots: “Well, unfortunately, she’d know!”


The lights suddenly turn off in the Bell Centre.  Immediately the big screen goes completely bright white, almost blinding.  Then the white light simmers down.  A familiar voice can be heard, one from SCW's past.  As it speaks, the words also display on the big screen.  Those in the Bell Centre that can remember are first in shock and awe, but then they cheer and some seem to be reading the words along with him.

ONE DECADE IS ENDING.

ANOTHER IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.

SHE HAS GROWN SO MUCH.

I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

SHE HAS SEEN THE PASSION IN MY EYES WHEN WE WATCH.

AND THUS SHE HAS TOLD ME TO RETURN TO YOU ALL.  BOTH OF MY GIRLS HAVE.

SO AS WE COUNT DOWN TO 2020, THE OLD IS ABOUT TO BECOME NEW.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE BACK, BUT HERE I AM...

The words cease on the titantron and it goes a solid bright white once again.  A few moments pass before the white turns to a solid gold background.  The Montreal crowd explodes as it is confirmed.  "Until The Day I Die" by Story Of The Year begins to play and the moment the song reaches its first chorus, Jay Gold appears on the stage, genuinely smiling and nodding.

Knots:  " We haven't seen Jay much over the past decade.  Once in a while here at the announce table and once to come back because he said he needed more money so his daughter could attend college in the future.  But tonight, as the 2020's draw nearer and nearer, he's here!!!"

Sharper:  "And from his own words, it sounds like he's back, and ready to compete full time once again!"

Knots:  "The one question I guess is "Why now?"  I mean, he did help Alexis Quinne a couple years back but..."

Sharper:  "We might get some answers as Jay Gold is heading for the ring.  This is a sight that I don't think anyone thought would ever happen again!  At least not as an active competitor that is."

Knots:  "You're telling me.  If anything he'd be one to try to be a surprise entrant in the main event tonight."

Sharper:  "Maybe he still is.  But we're about to find out ladies and gentlemen."

Jay Gold steps into the ring, toting a microphone that he got from the backstage area.  The crowd is still going nuts so Jay lets them keep going and going until finally they begin to settle down.  His music settles as this happens.  

Jay Gold:  "Alright, it is great to know that I'm not forgotten."

The crowd cheers and Jay nods again.

Jay Gold:  "And the words I have just spoken, yes, I am officially once again an active wrestler for Supreme Championship Wrestling!"

Another cheer but Jay immediately tells them to simmer, which they do.

Jay Gold:  "This time around I mean exactly what I just said.  I know I'm of SCW's old guard, but I feel reborn after having watched my daughter Sarah Vixen grow up into the young lady that she is today.  It has been quite the journey, just like back in the 2000's, SCW was quite the journey.  I did it all.  I won every championship that there was to capture at the time.  But then, I went out in a way that I'm still not proud of.  I wanted to be the first SCW wrestler to ever get 100 wins in this ring.  I was desperate.  I was obsessed.  And even though I reached that goal, it was at the expense of those closest to me.  Which is why I came back for the Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal a few years ago... to earn money for my daughter's future, and to redeem myself from the lowest point of my life.  Ryan Watson and Autumn Valentine that night had other ideas.  They showed me that desperation in SCW had reached a new low.  Ever since then though I have sat back and watched as the desperation levels have become higher and higher, and the plots and the schemes have become more and more complex... and just plain, well, I'll say it, loud enough for Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon can hear it in the back... DISGUSTING!!!"

The crowd boos but then roots Jay on for speaking the truth.

Jay Gold:  "I truly do hope someone else wins the SCW World Championship tonight, just to get it away from you Sienna.  I know you know this, but you and Chris are NOT what's right for the people.  The people you see here in the arena tonight, and the rest of the SCW fans around the world, THEY will choose what is right.  Not you two!"

"But anyways, moving along, you two are just the tip of the iceberg.  As I look around at the current state of SCW, and no Sasha I'm not against you, but you need help.  I know you can run this ship well, much like your father did, at least most of the time anyways.  But you can't, you just CAN'T let the inmates run the asylum.  What James Evans did to the chamber?  That could have been prevented.  How Infamous STILL acts after all these years just because they don't get what they want?  That can be easily quelled.  You know exactly what needs to be done, and I'll make sure that I'm around to support you.  I'm a veteran and I have respect for anyone that deserves to be respected."

Jay pauses for a breath, but then resumes.

Jay Gold:  "Respect.  Such a small but big word.  A word that has just seemed to have disappeared from the SCW dictionary when it comes to many.  It's an old word that I will help resurrect.  After that clock turns midnight tonight, the old will become the new.  The days... no, the hours and minutes of Syren Swann are numbered.  Tonight I will sit back, relax, and watch as Sienna loses that championship belt that she holds so dear.  Hopefully she loses it to someone that shows everyone that deserves it respect.  Someone like Selena Frost maybe?"

The True Believers cheer for Selena and Jay doesn't interrupt them.  He waits for them to finish.

Jay Gold:  "But that is still to come.  Much like there will be MUCH more coming from me.  The names and faces here may have changed, save a few like Josh Hudson, Jake Starr, CHBK, Damian Angel, Katie Steward and a few others... but I know what I'm in for.  I'm here to wrestle until I can't wrestle anymore!  2020 will be the first of the Golden Years.  Happy New Year everyone."

"
Until The Day I Die" is heard once again as Jay stands there in the ring.

Knots:  "Wow.  I never did like Jay much, but he's definitely changed over the last decade.  Becoming a father was probably the best thing to ever happen to him."

Sharper:  "He's just about always been a good man.  Just that one time, but he now has a chance to reconcile for that.  Also perhaps a Hall of Famer like him is exactly what some of these youngsters need around here.  Jay knows what to expect.  He's not naive at all."

Knots:  "2020 will tell all.  But this was definitely NOT expected."

Sharper:  "Not one bit, but it's happening.  Happy New Year Jay Gold and welcome back!"

 

Jay Gold steps back and looks around the ring and smiles before stepping through the ropes. He then starts to head to the back as the scene fades to black.


We see historical footage of a war scene as an artillery strike hits the ground. We see troops running off before cutting to another shot of an artillery strike. The scene changes to show Sienna Swann striking Owen Cruze with the Kiss of an Angel, before cutting to show James Evans hitting the Middle Finger to the Establishment on CHBK. A shot of Syren nailing Jake Starr in the back with a steel chair follows before showing Christy Matthews hitting the Happily Never After on the floor at Under Attack. Shots shift to show Ravyn Taylor smirking before showing her locking in a figure four around the ringpost on Jordan Majors. Following this, Chris Cannon attacking James Evans follows.

 

“Controversy seems to have reigned as late…but SCW is just getting started….”

 

A shot of an explosion follows before the SCW Day of Infamy logo comes up on the screen.

 

“SCW presents Day of Infamy, live on Sunday, January 26, 2020, only on pay per view!”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

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

 

“And now the Match of 2019…”

 

The words “After Under Attack, 1:33 a.m.” at the bottom of the screen as we see Selena Frost storming to the back of the building, the cameraman following. A few security guards are with her.

 

Selena: “Let me through! I’ll get him!”

 

They try to keep her back before we see Xander Valentine with a few guards, Artemis a few steps behind, then entering into the building and Xander just smirks before he looks around and sees a storage crate and grabs it. He then turns and spins it around and steps forward, launching it toward the guards and Selena. One of the guards is hit by it and Selena quickly hops over and runs at Xander. Xander steps up and Selena nails him with a hard right and then another. Aaron Demitra is on scene.

 

Demitra: “It’s starting! Screw the bell!”

 

We then see a shot of Selena Frost nailing Xander Valentine with piping backstage before showing Xander Valentine driving a storage crate into Selena Frost’s legs. Shots of Selena Frost lifting a coffee dispenser at Xander, throwing it at him, as steam comes up. This is followed by a shot of Xander Valentine nailing Selena with a trash can, and Selena following up with shots from a steel chair. Selena is then knocked over into the cameraman as Xander uses a light stand to take her down.

 

Xander: “Come on…let’s give you a taste of what you’ve wanted oh so much. Let’s pretend you should’ve been in there.”

 

We cut to shots of Selena Frost bloody and then Xander Valentine bloody as this is followed by a shot of Selena Frost with the cat’o’nine tails given to her by Regan. She then whips Xander as Xander grimaces.

 

Selena: “You’re the monster? Looks like I’m not afraid! Tell me to stop!”

 

She whips him again and then we see the Chamber structure starting to lower. This is followed by shots of Selena getting hip tossed onto the steel platforms of the chamber and then showing Xander falling out of the chamber with a thud. Shots of Xander press slamming Selena into the empty seats, followed by a shot of him powerbombing her into the seats too. This is followed by a shot of Xander pinning Selena against the chains of the Chamber with a chair is shown, before the Chamber starts to rise. This is followed by a shot of a few kicks from Selena before Selena hits a moonsault off the chamber into Xander into the empty seats. We cut to see Xander and Selena back in the ring and Xander threatening Aaron Demitra. We then see Selena hitting a few kicks on Xander before cutting to Xander hitting the Martial Bane into the edge of the platforms of the Chamber causing him to fall to the mat.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Oh my God!”

 

Knots: “Right into the edge of that steel! She may be out!”

 

Sharper: “Stop this! Stop this!”

 

We see a second Martial Bane, this time just into the middle of the ring as Xander covers Selena.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Demitra looks at Selena as Xander rolls off. The scene fades to black.

 

“The Match of 2019…Selena Frost vs. Xander Valentine in an unsanctioned Empty Arena match.”

 

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


The scene reopens on the stage in the Bell Centre to see Cookie Dreams and Derek Adonis. The crowd roars.

 

Cookie: “It’s here! It’s here! Time to announce the male and female of the year!”

 

Derek: “No one can compete with the two of us, Man Mountain and Cookie!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Cookie: “No silly. We mean wrestlers!”

 

Derek: “So do I with the new KABLAMA Submission series! Get into the sensual lovemaking grappling style to really get your motor running! KABLAM!”

 

Derek smiles as the crowd cheers.

 

Cookie: “So we have two envelopes! The male wrestler of the year…”

 

Derek: “And the female wrestler of the year!”

 

Cookie: “First, the male wrestler of the year!”

 

The crowd cheers as Cookie opens the envelope. The drumroll plays as Cookie pulls out the card. She smiles.

 

Cookie: “Your male wrestler of the 2019….Owen Cruze!”

 

The crowd cheers as “The Show Must Go On (the SCW / Maserati Remix)” plays throughout the arena. A few moments pass before we see Owen Cruze walk out from the back, wearing a t-shirt and his wrestling trunks. He looks out at the crowd and scans it as the crowd cheers him. He then turns and walks over to the podium. Derek Adonis hands him the SCW End of the Year Award. Owen takes it and looks at it before turning to the podium. He looks around as his music fades out.

 

Owen: “One year ago, I was named the Rookie of the Year and won the Open Invitational.”

 

Owen pauses.

 

Owen: “And tonight, I stand here a former World Champion and now the Male Wrestler of the Year.”

 

Owen pauses again as the crowd cheers.

 

Owen: “But tonight, I also stand on the edge of trying to figure out what is right. I had what should’ve been a moment to make me think at Clarity. But tonight, at the End of the Year Special, the World Title is on the line in the Open Invitational. I could end my year as World Champion. I could stand here and effectively stand up to Sienna one more time, to Syren one more time, to try and stand as World Champion at the end of the year! And to give that title someone who represents themselves as a champion.”

 

Owen sighs.

 

Owen: “But I also know that Syren Swann can be a good champion if she stopped with everything else. This shot shouldn’t be happening, but it is. And as you can tell, I’m going to be one of the entrants!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Owen: “I know I said that I would stand by Clarity, but I have one principle that means more…to stand for what’s right and Sienna Swann should not be World Champion. Syren should not be World Champion. There are a few others who shouldn’t be either. Not because of their skills, but because of who they are. And tonight, I hope to walk out as World Champion as the second time!”

 

Owen steps back as the crowd roars.

 

Derek: “Now, Owen, we want you out here for a photo, because we’re going to now announce the Female Wrestler of the Year!”

 

Owen nods. He motions to go on.

 

Derek: “Your Female Wrestler of the Year…”

 

Derek opens the envelope and slides out the card. His demeanour changes a bit.

 

Derek: “Sienna Swann!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as Owen just smirks and chuckles a bit as he looks up. “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play as the boos continue. A few moments pass when, instead of Sienna Swann, Chris Cannon walks out from the back. He steps over and looks at Owen. The two stand face to face for a moment as the crowd roars and then Chris turns and grabs the award from Cookie Dreams. He glares at Derek briefly too before turning to the podium.

 

Chris: “Thank you for this. Unlike this fraud, Sienna is preparing to defend her title and prove she is the greatest ever. This award…it should be remained…the Sienna Swann award as no one but her will ever meet it. Thanks for establishing what was always obvious. Tonight, we confirm it. No, I’m not taking the damn picture.”

 

Chris then turns to Owen.

 

Chris: “And Owen…get ready to fall on your face again, Calamity Cruze!”

 

Cruze steps forward and Chris and Owen lock eyes again. The crowd roars. Owen says something as Chris just pushes past him and storms off to the back. Owen turns and watches him go as the crowd buzzes. A “Owen!” chant begins to echo throughout the crowd as the scene fades to black.


We see a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness before cutting to a shot of Kennedy Street holding the SCW World Championship over her head from Rise to Greatness XV. A shot of David Helms standing on the top of a scaffold follows before showing Shilo Valiant walking to the ring. Shots of Dark Fantasy holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship, Rachel Foxx hitting the Foxx Girl Stunner, assisted with a plane of glass, on Shorty Jr. and Simon Lyman having his arm raised by Donovan Kayl followed.

 

“Want to experience history? Or make it?”

 

Several shots from past Rise to Greatness events fly on the screen before cutting to black. The Rise to Greatness XVII logo comes up on the screen.

 

“Rise to Greatness XVI

July 26, 2020

Minneapolis, Minnesota”

 

The scene slowly fades to black.


Backstage, we see Aaron Blackbourne pacing a bit backstage, in his wrestling gear. Jessica Winters walks over to him.

 

Jessica: “Aaron, you seem ready to compete.”

 

Blackbourne: “I only intend to if he’s here. Shilo…”

 

Jessica: “Well, Aaron, I don’t know how to tell you, but from everything we have, we’ve not heard of him here. I’m sure there will be some surprises, but if he’s trying to get attention, he’s not said anything yet.”

 

Blackbourne: “We’ll see. But if he’s out there, I will be. If not….well…we’ll figure it out then.”

 

Jessica: “Well, you may want to get ready. I understand we’re about to start.”

 

Blackbourne nods and looks at the back entrance before turning and heading off as we cut away.

 

The scene opens up in the ring to see Jason Phillips in the ring. The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is the Open Invitational. Eliminations are by pinfalls or submission. The final person standing will win $250 000, a 2020 Cadillac Escalade and the SCW World Championship!”

 

The crowd cheers.


Sharper: “Welcome back to ringside. Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots here at ringside. End of the Year Open Invitational. World Title on the line!”

 

Knots: “Here we go!”

 

"The Authority Song" by John Mellencamp hits the speakers and Kellen Jeffries comes out from the back and heads to the ring.

 

Phillips: “From New York City, New York, he is Kellen Jeffries!”

 

Kellen continues to head to the ring as the crowd cheers for him.

 

Sharper: “Kellen Jeffries the first to come out. He used his Trios Tournament shot to make this match.”

 

Knots: “Walking into hell if Sienna or Chris or whoever else related to them may be in it.”

 

Sharper: “Going to stand up to them. Maybe even get a bit of revenge after Chris Cannon, Xiomara and Sienna Swann assaulted him in their anger at him making this match!”

 

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, James Evans!”
 
James slowly makes his way to the ring.

 

Sharper: “And we should not be surprised! There’s a war and a war for the World Title. He said he’d be out here and looking to take it from Sienna Swann!”

 

Knots: “So wait! If James Evans takes out Sienna, would Syren pay him? I want to know this. Can we just have all the ridiculousness happen?”

 

Sharper: “James Evans may just be looking to get his hands on Syren, on Sienna, on anyone who has been standing in his way or that he doesn’t care for in this one!”

 

The opening chords of Look What You Made Me Do begin to play. Kimberly Williams steps out onto the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. 

 

Phillips: “Next, from Boston, Massachusetts, the Wild Card, Kimberly Williams!”

 

She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it.  She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. 

 

Sharper: “And one half of Twin Magic in this. Kimberly Williams may have a little too much fun in this one.”

 

Knots: “She can go after anyone. She’s had fun in these in the past!”

 

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp. Pyro goes off. Then Marie Annabelle Jones steps through the curtain, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. A broad, somewhat condescending grin is on her face as she gaze out at the fans in the arena who cheer loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. 

 

Phillips: “From Boston, Massachusetts, the Crown Jewel of Professional Wrestling, Marie Jones!”

 

Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans.

 

Sharper: “Marie Jones said she’d be looking to take advantage of tonight. Another one who can’t be considered a surprise. She wants to walk out World Champion.”

 

Knots: “Tried twice earlier this year. Won the End of the Year Special title shot last year. Got a redo tonight!”

 

The opening bass of "Baby Got Back" begins and Kandis steps out from the curtain, a sway in her step. The music cuts to a remixed version of the chorus, with added bass, and Kandis turns around to wiggle her bountiful rear end.

 

Phillips: “Next, from West Hollywood, California, she is Kandis!”

 

Some of the males in the crowd cheer as Kandis turns back and starts down the ramp.

 

Knots: “Good thing the ring is reinforced!”

 

Sharper: “Kandis looking to boost her standing in a big way. This is taking advantage of this and exactly what Kellen Jeffries wanted to happen!”

 

Lights shut off.  The “Nyan Cat “ song starts up for a second or two then stops, a bright pink spotlight shines on the stage but dies too. The crowd begins to cheer. “Nyan Cat” song plays again, with a baby blue light shining now onto the stage. The song stops but this time the crowd cheers have grown louder. Once more this happens, this time both the pink and baby blue spotlights hit the entrance stage, but this time the crowd has grown playfully loud.

 

With a crackle and a sizzle, itsy bitsy pyros go off in front of the curtains and with that “Ninja Re Bang Bang” echoes over the PA. Out pops the Magical Cosmic Princess YOYU, leaping over the dying smoke of the tiny fireworks.

 

Phillips: “From Fukushima prefecture, Japan, she is the Magic Cosmic Princess, YOYU!”

 

She dances to the song, swinging her arms around and performing hand gestures as she dances down the ramps.

 

Knots: “What in the blue hell?!”

 

Sharper: “Magical Cosmic Princess Yoyu joining us and looking to take advantage of the open invitational nature of this matter!”

 

Knots: “So does she have magic?”

 

Sharper: “You tell me!”

 

Knots: “She has the Nyan cat!”

 

“Supreme” plays throughout the arena as the stage and video screen goes dark. Gigi’s video plays on the screen and she steps out on to the stage wearing a black leather with tiny metal spikes on it and also a bandana covering her face. She walks up to the center of the stage and stretches her arms out embracing  the boos from the crowd.

 

Phillips: “From Los Angeles, California, she is Goddess Apprentice, Gigi Steward!”

 

She begins her march to the ring walking with a purpose.

 

Sharper: “Gigi Steward looking to become World Champion. The Stewards have had some success in this event in the past. Could this be the year?”

 

Knots: “If it is, just imagine what would happen if Gigi Steward walked out the winner tonight. It would be huge!”

 

The arena goes dark and the opening riff of “Escribe Una Canción” starts to play. As the intro pauses, the sound of a shotgun being cocked is heard. As the music kicks back in, El Lucho Trenta appears at ringside, standing by the barrier and the camera has to scramble to pick him up. He waves casually at the camera before hopping over the barricade and he strolls around the ring shaking hands with the fans. On the stage, Nate Patrick appears and begins to walk down to ringside.

Phillips: “From Soconusco in Mexico, he is El Lucho Trenta!”

Trenta heads over to Knots and hands him a cup of coffee. He gives a thumbs up as Knots looks around.

 

Knots: “Hot damn! Service!”

 

Sharper: “El Lucho Trenta, we’ve not seen in the ring yet. Been around in recent weeks, but he just came from the crowd and gave Knots a coffee!”

 

Knots: “It’s Turkish I think.”

 

Sharper: “Isn’t he Mexican?”

 

Knots: “I’m not going to try and make sense of this!”

 

Having done a full circle of the ring, Trenta meets up with Nate, who has to coral him and point to the ring. Trenta nods his head before turning and leaping up onto the apron. He wipes his feet - because manners cost nothing - before grabbing the top rope to jump into the ring. Nate Patrick then frantically runs back up the rampway.

 

Knots: “Wait…you could all come out together!”

 

The arena goes dark and the opening riff of “Escribe Una Canción” starts to play. As the intro pauses, the sound of a shotgun being cocked is heard. As the music kicks back in, El Lucho Venti leaps into the air through a trapdoor in the stage to a small pop of pyro and the screen lights up with a familiar looking coffee company logo but with a sugar skull face replacing the mermaid’s. 

 

Phillips: “From Soconusco in Mexico, he is El Lucho Venti!”

 

Venti stands hunched over at the top of the ramp shaking his arms excitedly until the ring announcer shouts of his name, at which point he bursts to the ring. He hits the ring and slides in, jumping straight to his feet before rushing the corner. He jumps up and throws up his arms then hops back down to wait for the match to begin, his manager Nate Patrick now back at ringside.

 

Knots: “Hey! Where’s my second coffee?!”

 

Sharper: “Guess there isn’t one. They’ve had some issues with their tuktuk.”

 

Knots: “Still. I wanted New Year’s Eve coffee, damn it!” 

 

A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute!”

 

The fans erupt in mixed reactions as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side.

ADRENALIZE ME

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd. Cassidy smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat.

Phillips: “From Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Master of the Universe Freddy Mercury was referring to in that song, Ace Marshall!”

The two make their way down the ramp. James Evans look at him as Ace mockingly waves at him. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. James steps forward and Ace steps back and holds his hands up.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall entering this battle royal. He and Cassidy have had a lot of success in this event. Ace Marshall even the inspiration for Kellen Jeffries.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but right now, James Evans just added another target to his list!”

 

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system.

Phillips: “From London, England, 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.

 

Sharper: “Glory Braddock hoping that she can finally take hold of the SCW World Championship tonight. Looking to finally hold the title she’s not yet obtained!”

 

Knots: “And she’s had some good showings here too. A lot of top tier talent in this one and it’s only going to get fuller!”

 

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. 

 

Phillips: “From Chicago, Illinois, she is the Star of Tomorrow, Jordan Majors!”

 

She continues to smirk as she starts to skip down the ramp ignoring anything the fans around her say. 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.

 

Sharper: “Well we know Jordan Majors was looking to take advantage of her newly won Star of Tomorrow award. She made it clear earlier. Both her and her brother, Jake Starr, entering this one.”

 

Knots: “And where little sis is, so it big bro!”

 

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.

 

Phillips: “From Des Moines, Iowa, he is Jake Starr!”

 

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.

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr has made a living at this event. He’s is looking to do something unheard of. He is hoping he can be the champion leading into the 2010s and saying goodbye from them too!”

 

Knots: “He could. He was holding the World Championship as soon as two years ago. He would love one more shot!”

 

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, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses.

 

Phillips: “From Chicago, Illinois, Asher Hayes!”

He makes his way down the ramp as the cheers of the crowd rain down upon him.

 

Sharper: “The former Adrenaline Champion! One title Asher Hayes has never held…the SCW World Championship!”

 

Knots: “Just can he be ready for the chaos of this. With his bad back?”

 

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his red, green and blue mask along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iced Rainbow on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder, Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back, ice wolf on his left chest and ice bear on his right chest.

Phillips: “From Cologne, Germany, he is The Iced Rainbow, Konrad Raab!”

He ignores the fans due to his focus on wanting to fight in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab joining the fray. Rainbow Ice could start 2020 as the World Champion with a good showing tonight.”

 

Knots: “And with some extra money. A new car. We shouldn’t forget about that!”

 

The lights straight to flicker in the arena as “The show must go on” the SCW / Maserati Remix kicks in over the PA system, the opening beats bringing a huge cheer from the fans. Owen steps out onto the stage to an even louder outpouring of noise, looking left and right at the fans and nodding in acknowledgment of their support.

Phillips: “From Los Angeles, California, The Male Wrestler of the Year, Owen Cruze!”

He drops to one knee and punches the stage, as a huge burst of pyro erupts behind him. Owen getting to his feet and walking down the ramp, only focussed on the ring. Owen slides into the ring, and climbs a turnbuckle, raising his arm as his music fades, and he jumps backwards into the ring.

 

Sharper: “We knew he’d be in it. Owen Cruze looking to win the World Championship for the second time.”

 

Knots: “Is he joined by any of his other allies? I’d love to know whether he’s standing alone. I mean after some of what he’s done, frankly, I’m glad he found a set and showed up!”

 

“Let Love In” by The Goo Goo Dolls plays throughout the arena as the crowd cheers some. Kelsai Adamson-Mason walks out from the back smiling widely and looks around as Amy Chastaine walks out with her and stands with her. Kelsai looks out and takes a deep breath as she then starts to head to the ring.

 

Phillips: “Accompanied by Amy Chastaine, from Seattle, Washington, she is Kelsai Adamson-Mason!”

 

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson-Mason could jump several steps ahead with a hell of a showing here.”

 

Knots: “Amy Chastiane could lead someone to the World Title after holding it herself. Why not?!

 

“Judas" begins to filter through the sound system and out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson, wearing a zip up jacket. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and shakes his head, before heading down to the ring.

 

Phillips: “From New York City, New York, Josh Hudson!”

 

He embraces the negative reaction with outstretched arms as he makes his way down the ramp, his body turned sideways as he faces the crowd with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Josh Hudson! The former World Champion! The Hall of Famer.”

 

Knots: “The jackass.”

 

Sharper: “That’s true. And imagine if he would win everything on the line tonight.”

 

Knots: “We’d never hear the end of it.”

 

Indistinguishable echoes, sounding awfully like church choir echoes out as a single bright spotlight shines down upon the stage. On the screen, narrated by the voice resembling that of Morgan Freeman:

“Blasted is thee who sin within the ring. God called upon the messiah, delivering an edict of reckoning upon the ignorant primitives with their lackluster wrestling. The messiah set forth to enlighten all those before him, and enlightened they shall be. (Adam 13:21)”

As his voice trails off, gold pyrotechnics explode on the stage as “Save Me” by Shinedown blares over the PA system. As the display stops, by now the song starting to pick up pace, Adam Allocco emerges from behind the curtains. He poses as he is doused in boos from the crowd.

 

Phillips: “From Parts Belonging to Womankind, he is Wrestling’s Enlightenment, Adam Allocco!”

 

After a moment of soaking in the hate, Allocco moves down to the ring, shouting several insults to the crowd before rolling in underneath the bottom rope.

 

Sharper: “It’s not Alistaire Allocco, but his father, Adam!”

 

Knots: “Can Alistaire go?”

 

Sharper: “I’ve heard there are still some nagging injuries. So the question is whether this is Adam stepping up for Alistaire, or for himself!”

 

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.

Phillips: “Accompanied by Scott Burnside, from New Orleans, Louisiana, 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.

 

Sharper: “We could have a double champion here tonight! Bree Lancaster walking out, the US Champion, to compete.”

 

Knots: “Probably to help Sienna. We’ll see what happens if they get to the end! I’d love to watch Bree and Sienna ruin their friendship over the World Title!”

 

“Villain” by Wildfire begins to play as Giovanni Aries walks out on stage with a black leather jacket instead of his trademark fur coat. He also has a face shield on with the Cheshire Cat grin on it.

 

Phillips: “From Black Rock Desert, Nevada, he is Giovanni Aries!”

 

Giovanni Aries sits cross legged on the stage as he looks around the arena for a few moments. He then slowly raise back to a vertical base as he lowers his Cheshire Cat grinning face shield to show a serious stare as he marches to the ring. He stops right before the ring as yells.

Giovanni Aries: DEATH TO THE LIZARD KINGDOM!!!!

Giovanni Aries snarls at the crowd before breaking out in mad laughter. He takes off his leather before sliding into the ring. James Evans looks right at him as some people move out of the way. Adam Allocco, for one, even motions for James to go after Giovanni.

 

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries IS in the Open Invitational!”

 

Knots: “And uh…is he trying to take the SCW down now?!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but more importantly, James Evans and Giovanni Aries have not stopped looking at one another.”

 

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.

Phillips: “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. Reaching the ring, Selena slides under the ropes to enter it. She steps up as Giovanni Aries turns to her briefly and backs up, slinking back to a corner. James glares at him.

 

Sharper: “Selena Frost, the Snow Queen!”

 

Knots: “Yes! Eat it Sienna! Let’s hope she knocks YOU out!”

 

Sharper: “No love lost between Frost and the World Champion, Sienna Swann. But Selena Frost is a huge threat! We have several former World Champions in there!”

 

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. 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 Alexander Crowe walks out to join her, which only gets more of a negative reaction from the fans. Syren then begins to walk down to the ring, flicking her hair and ignoring the fans at ringside as Alexander Crowe follows.

 

Phillips: “Accompanied by Alexander Crowe, from Los Angeles, California, she is Syren!”

 

The duo head to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Alexander Crowe with Syren. No CHBK. We know why. CHBK couldn’t travel, thanks to James Evans attacking him on the last Breakdown of 2019. But Ravyn Taylor, Christy Matthews, where are they?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know, but everyone better be looking!”

 

A red carpet is rolled out with a few photographers positioned toward the entrance position, the woman by the name of Laura Steinbeck along with the Truelove Twins directs everyone to take their positions just as the arena goes dark…..
 
Suddenly one lone spotlight shines in entrance where smoke begins to come out and surround the stage. “Style” by Taylor Swift begins to play throughout the arena, the Tron plays the Video of her various photo-shoots, training, fighting, swimsuits, lingerie and walking through nightclubs with men gawking over her in skin tight dresses. Sienna Swann walks out with her head down as the crowd boos loudly. Chris Cannon and Xiomara Diaz walk out with her. Sienna proudly shows the World Championship around her waist.

 

Phillips: “Accompanied by Chris Cannon and Xiomara, from Johannesburg, South Africa, she is the SCW World Champion, Sienna Swann!”
 
Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her. The three start to head to the ring. They reach the ring and Sienna takes off her wings and Chris and Xiomara take them as Sienna takes the World Championship off from her waist and holds it over her head. She then pulls herself onto the apron. She steps into the ring and looks around.
 
Sharper: “Sienna Swann actually entering the ring. She needs to to start the match, but I’m surprised she’d not waiting this out!”

 

Knots: “So is this it?”

 

Sharper: “This is. Twenty four entrants. Sienna Swann, the World Champion, last to arrive. One of these individuals will walk out a quarter of a million dollars richer, owning a new car, and the SCW World Champion!”

 

Knots: “And we’ve got refs everywhere. Pinfalls and submissions are all that matters!”

 

The bell sounds. Josh Hudson quickly rolls to the floor as we see Marie and Kim run over and go after Syren. The crowd roars. James and Giovanni head toward one another, but Ace runs forward and grabs James and spins him around and into the Luchos. Ace turns around and Giovanni nails him with a dropkick. Ace rolls to the floor. Giovanni turns as Sienna and Bree move toward one another, but Asher, Kellen and Kandis run over to Sienna and Bree. The crowd cheers. Selena is caught by Jake Starr as Adam goes after him. Jordan tries to get for Sienna and Bree, but quickly is cut off by Gigi, who dropkicks her in the side, knocking her to the floor. Gigi then runs over and grabs the top rope and vaults over onto her. Yuyo starts to attack Owen as Owen tries to push her back as Raab heads over and goes over to Owen too. Kelsai is caught by an errant elbow, knocking her to the floor.

 

Sharper: “The fight is on and it looks like everyone is going for the arguable favourites!”

 

Knots: “Ace getting involved and causing some problems too!”

 

Selena covers up as Jake gets a few shots in, and Adam grabs him and nails him with a hard right before turning and nailing Selena with a shot. Josh slinks around the ring. Gigi gets up and continues on Jordan as Syren gets to the floor. Kim and Marie drop down and both run over and start to kick at Syren as the crowd roars. El Lucho Grande and Trenta club at James as James tries to fight them off. Sienna rolls to the floor and backs up as Xiomara and Chris head over toward her. Bree is kept in the ring as Asher chops her in the chest and then stomps her in the ribs. She falls over, but Asher hops over. Kandis and Kellen drop to the floor and Kellen immediately nails Chris with a hard right. The crowd roars. Kandis follows after Sienna as she backs away and Kandis forearms her in the jaw and then again.

 

Sharper: “Kandis going after Sienna. Must be motivated by the bounty. I don’t know. But Kellen with a right hand to Chris Cannon!”

 

Knots: “Josh Hudson just watching as Ace is starting to get up on the floor. This is pandemonium to start.”

 

Sharper: “Going to be like this for a while. We’ll do our best to follow what we can. Right now, it’s just trying to get anything going.”

 

James nails Trenta back as Venti clubs him in the back and then again and pulls back his arms. Trenta runs over and hits a jumping knee strike. James falls over. They stomp away as Gigi sends Jordan into the corner. Glory Braddock walks around the ring, notably one of the few to not get caught into anything.

Sharper: “And Asher down onto the back of Bree.”

 

Gigi stomps Jordan in the ribs as Jake and Adam get up. Ace then turns and runs over and grabs Josh. He nails him with a hard forearm and then another. He turns and spins Josh around and runs him over to the announce table. Kim runs over and stops Ace.

Yuyo starts to get up and Venti and Trenta grab her, but Yuyo hits a jawbreaker on Trenta. He falls back into the corner. Venti then grabs Yuyo, but James runs over and clubs him in the back. He clubs him again as Yuyo shakes them off and runs at Trenta, jumping up, and kisses Trenta in the head. She jumps back and hits a spinning back elbow.

 

Yuyo: “Justice!”

 

The crowd roars as Sienna and Bree stagger up the rampway with Kellen, Asher and Kandis following. Xiomara is down, we notice at this point. She gets up annoyed as Chris heads after them. Alexander Crowe meanwhile gets superkicked into the crowd by Marie as Marie staggers off, holding her throat.

 

Sharper: “Alexander Crowe sent into the crowd!”

 

Knots: “I think he intervened, finally getting his chance to help Syren!”

 

Sharper: “Marie made him pay. As Kim continues to attack Josh in front of us. And we’ve got Ace and Glory fighting just down the way!”

 

Knots: “Beauty Factory trying to cause a retreat!”

 

Kellen walks over and grabs Sienna and spins her around and turns and runs at Kandis. Sienna clotheslines her down.

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “And themselves!”

 

Sharper: “Yuyo on the apron too. She may be looking to drive the dagger. Start making pins! Someone could be caught!”

Sharper: “What is she thinking?”

 

Yuyo gets up and as she steps up onto the middle rope, we then see Kandis climb up onto the apron and knees her in the ribs. She then scoops her up and looks back.
