End of the Year Special - December 31, 2020

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

MAIN SHOW:

We open up with a shot of David Helms standing tall as the SCW World Champion.

Knots: “People dream of this. To return like this and to return to the top. He did it.”

We then cut to shot David Helms vacating the title.

David: “I won’t get into the details. Just…I have to step down as the SCW World Champion.”

We then cut to a shot of Syren nailing James Evans in the knee with the SCW World Championship. James goes down.

Knots: “Syren though with the assist. And she hates them. But she hates James Evans more. His past sins coming to haunt him tonight!”

We follow this up with a shot of Regan Street and Selena Frost celebrating as the SCW World Tag Team Champions.

Sharper: “Frozen Hell have done it! They’re the new World Tag Team Champions and Regan Street joins Selena Frost and her husband David as a Supreme Champion!”

This is followed by a shot of Lucas Knight standing in the ring with Chris Cannon.

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

This is followed by a shot of Jordan Majors holding Sienna Swann’s arm over his head. We then cut to see Jordan Majors planting Sienna Swann with the Cash Out.

Jordan: “F*ck you, you manipulative bitch!”

This cuts then to show Cid Turner punching CHBK in the brawl in the concession area with Infamous going after Asher Hayes. We then cut to show Tommy Valentine pinning David Helms, before cutting to a shot of Gavin Taylor walking to the ring in Australia, before cutting to a shot of the End of the Year Special logo.

The scene cuts to a panning shot of the inside of the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The crowd cheers as spotlights circle the arena. The voice of Jason Phillips is then heard.

Phillips: “Please welcome your host for this evening, Jonathan Knots!”

Jonathan Knots walks out as the crowd cheers and Knots looks out and waves to the crowd. He then steps up to the podium on the stage. He nods before lifting his hands up, clasping them and raising his arms to his left and then to his right, playing to the crowd.

Knots: “Welcome everyone to SCW’s yearly tradition of the End of the Year Special and we are saying good the hell bye to 2020!”

The crowd cheers.

Knots: “Now, tonight, we’re going to see people celebrate, they’ll laugh, they’ll cry, some will throw tantrums. Shhhh….don’t say the secret word….I’ll give you a hint. It rhymes with Bienna….she’ll start to go crazy!”

Knots pauses.

Knots: “Don’t worry. They’re out of jail. Blake Mason has more money than God and a certain restaurant owner was happy to take it. So here we are. But tonight, we’ll look back on 2020 and some of the big moments. And we’re going to start things off with the awards that reflect a great 2020 and expect a strong 2021. The Rookie of the Year and Star of Tomorrow awards. And folks…I only got one envelope, so you know what that means…someone is taking home both!”

Knots grabs the envelope and holds it up. He then rips it open and slides the card out.

Knots: “Your Rookie of the Year AND the Star of Tomorrow….she’ll have two awards to join two of something else she’s known for…Cookie Dreams!”

The lights dim as Nickelback’s “Something In Your Mouth” hits over the P. A System, all eyes focus to the stage where various colors of lights begin to flash. The crowd cheers. A few moments pass before Cookie Dreams runs out from the back and looks around. Knots then hands her the two awards. Dreams takes them and looks at them and holds them in front of her before jumping up and down happily and turning and moving to the camera. She puts them down.

Cookie: “This is soooo cool. I can even use it to even out the shelf. Not just Rookie of the year…but Star of Tomorrow…”

Cookie takes a deep breath.

Cookie: “This is huge! Totally huge…I…I was having fun on the side lines but this year, I got into the ring. I’m kicking ass with Jordan Majors. LAST year’s Star of Tomorrow…and hopefully next interim Champ!”

The crowd cheers.

Cookie: “Wow…just…after everything, to know that I was voted by all of you. A year where I gave it a shot. Trying to see if I could do this. To winning the TV Title. To being in Taking Hold of the Flame…to the Tag League too….Thank you…and 2021, it’s gonna be better. It’s going to be wilder and I’m gonna make sure you all know this…this was worth it!”

Cookie grabs the awards and holds them over her head as she jumps up happily and turns and looks at them. The crowd cheers as her music returns. Knots applauds as Cookie holds the awards up again and backs up.

Knots: “Congratulations Cookie and now let’s go find out the Shocking Moment of 2020!”

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

“The SCW End of the Year Awards…Shocking Moment of 2020…”

Bree looks up. Bree then looks down at Helms as she starts to get up. The crowd cheers for Helms as Bree looks around, hearing the cheering and the growing “Helms!” chants. Bree then walks over and stomps him in the right leg and then again before turning and going over to the legs. She grabs them and lifts them up. Bree snaps at the crowd before going to fold one over, but Helms starts to fight. Bree bends over as a result and Helms forearms her in the jaw and then again and again. She falls back. Helms rolls over and gets up and Bree shakes out the cobwebs and heads over and nails him in the head with a hard right. Helms stumbles over and to the ropes and Bree then grabs him, but Helms elbows her in the jaw and hits a second Wake Up Call.

Sharper: “Another Wake Up Call!”

Knots: “Bree didn’t see it. And this was intentional!”

Bree falls down. Helms grabs at the ropes. He looks around and winces before Bree rolls over and Helms grabs her by the head and hoists her up before as quickly as he can, hitting the Genesis Shift. The crowd ohs and he keeps her down for the pin.

Bree kicks out and rolls over. Helms falls back as the crowd ohs and boos.

Sharper: “Lancaster kicks out of the Genesis Shift. Helms dug deep for that one.”

Knots: “They’ve both gotten the move they want. They’ve both kicked out. Now what?”

Helms looks around and rolls over. He starts to get up as Bree stirs. She gets up and Helms walks over and grabs her and places her head between his legs. He hoists her up, but Bree slides down out of the powerbomb and right in front of Helms. She forearms him in the jaw and then again before Helms blocks the third, but Bree kicks him in the knee. Helms falls back. Bree looks around and turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and then jumps up and slides for a baseball slide dropkick, but Helms steps back and turns and hits the Sudden Realization to the head of Bree. Bree falls over and Helms limps over, wincing in pain and grabbing her by the head. He pulls her up before hooking her head in a cravate and taking her down with the New Jersey Neckbreaker. The crowd cheers as Helms turns and throws himself on top of Lancaster.

The crowd erupts in cheers. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW World Champion….David Helms!”

The crowd erupts in cheers as David rolls off. Lucas Knight runs over to the ring as Demitra is handed the SCW World Championship. He turns and presents the title to David Helms.

Sharper: “On a warm night in Minneapolis, David Helms has completed his bucket list item and has won the SCW World Championship in the main event of Rise to Greatness!”

Knots: “What a return! What a 2020. He returns, won Trios, won Taking Hold of the Flame, and now won the Rise to Greatness main event to become World Champion one more time!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Lucas helps David up. He turns and holds his arm in the air. We then cut forward to see Regan Street now in the ring with David and the two hugging, before kissing, as we see Selena Frost, Mikaela Street, Jason Helms, Delilah and Jordan Majors, still showing the aftereffects of the brawl, joining in the celebration. Pyro shoots off as confetti is shot into the air, falling all around the arena. Bree Lancaster can be seen now on the rampway, looking into the ring.

Bree: “This was supposed to be mine!”

Bree lets out an annoyed grunt and turns, Scott Burnside walking with her. David Helms stands in the ring, holding up the World Championship as the crowd cheers.

“The 2020 Shocking Moment of the Year and Return of the Year…David Helms wins the Taking Hold of the Flame and at Rise to Greatness to become World Champion!”

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

We return to the stage to see Jonathan Knots nodding.

Knots: “Yeah, I’d say that fit the bill. Not only Helms returning but then kicking ass all year. 2020 had some interesting moments. And now, we find out which group stood out and made 2020 their year.”

Knots grabs the envelope and holds it up before ripping it open.

Knots: “Your 2020 Stable of the Year…”

Knots slides out the card and looks a bit disappointed.

Knots: “The Wonderland!”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as “We’re All Mad Here” by Marquis of Vaudeville begins to play. Knots stands back with the award as the lights dim and the music continues to play. Knots looks around as he waits and he waits before we then see him turn and crouch down, talking to someone by the stage. He nods and stands up as the music fades out. Knots walks over to the microphone.

Knots: “It appears that the Wonderland is not here, nor have they had anyone represent them tonight. They see this award show as a sham, reflecting the Lizard Kingdom’s desire to placate us with trinkets. That’s what I’ve been just told. And well, we’ll figure out what to do with this thing….”

Knots sighs.

Knots: “Let’s go outside where Jessica Winters may be looking to get a bit warmer! Jessica!”

Backstage, we open up to see Jessica Winters walking away from the building into one of the courtyards around the arena.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and we were told that Derek Adonis would be holding a KABLAM burning and well…”

The camera turns to see Derek Adonis looking off camera. He’s dressed in a suit, under a trenchcoat, much less flamboyantly than we’ve seen him in the past. We also see several people gathering around and a fire truck in the distance.

Jessica: “Derek! Can I get a word?”

Derek turns and smiles.

Derek: “The only word here that matters is the Word of God that has filled our mouths and our hearts and should be our guiding principle, penetrating everything we do.”

Jessica looks around a bit. Derek turns to the pile of KABLAM materials, from copies to the KABLAMA Sutra, sex toys, toiletries and other material. Derek sighs as the camera does a close scan of the pile. The camera pans back.

Derek: “We should get this over with. This filth…”

Derek sighs.

Derek: “And I dedicated my life to it.”

Derek then walks over behind the pile and pulls up a gas can. He turns and starts to slosh gasoline all over the pile of sordid items, providing pleasure to any and all who obtain them. Jessica looks on as Derek keeps pouring more gasoline all over, trying his best not to get any on him as he does. We see some fans around, some are booing. A few are yelling “KABLAM!” Derek hears them and stops. He turns and places the gas can down a few feet away from the pile. He turns.

Derek: “Do not yell that anymore. That is not a word that should ever be heard again!”

Derek turns and walks over. He then nods as we see him pull out a torch. He reaches into his pocket, pulling out a lighter.

Derek: “Time to leave this in the past!”

Derek the flicks the lighter and lights the torch. He then holds it up, placing the lighter back in his pocket, and throwing it forward, causing the pile of books, magazines, toys and whatever else to be lit ablaze. Adonis steps back and looks at the pile as it slowly grows more and more bright, the fire spreading. Adonis then leans back and spreads his arms.

Derek: “Guide me oh lord! Make me your willing vessel!”

Derek remains back as the camera focuses on him for a few moments, in front of the flaming items, where we cut back to the arena.

We return to the podium where we see Jonathan Knots shaking his head.

Knots: “So much potential for greatness. He’s gone down a path I cannot follow…”

Knots lowers his head for a moment.

Knots: “But while Derek Adonis has….somehow, someway, gone to the dark side, we need to return to celebration!”

The crowd roars.

Knots: “And next, I have the privilege of announcing the 2020 Tag Team of the Year!”

Knots grabs the envelope on the podium and holds it up. He rips open the envelope and slides out the card inside.

Knots: “Your 2020 Tag Team of the Year…Selena Frost and Regan Street, Frozen Hell!”

“HELL HAS FROZEN OVER!”
“BELIEVE IT!”

The fans are roaring in cheers as “Hell Has Frozen Over” by The Megas and Entertainment System plays. From the back walks Regan Street and Selena Frost in their wrestling gear. They step out and look at the crowd before turning and looking at the podium. They head over to it where Knots presents them with their Tag Team of the Year trophy. Selena looks at it and nods. Regan walks over to the podium and looks out. Notably, neither are fully smiling.

Regan: “Well if we needed a reminder…This is a damn good one.”

Regan looks around as the crowd cheers and the music fades out.

Regan: “In this year, Frozen Hell represented one of my greatest triumphs…finally becoming a Supreme Champion.”

Regan turns and looks at Selena.

Regan: “And with my sister…”

Regan turns back.

Regan: “We’re not going to let this end tonight!”

The crowd cheers again. Selena walks over.

Selena: “Oh no. We’re not ending anything tonight. Tonight, it’s about humbling a monster who thinks he can take on anything. Tonight, he says he’s going to end Frozen Hell. Nuh-uh. Not one our watch. The best team of 2020 isn’t going down tonight. We’re not disbanding. We’re going nowhere!”

The crowd cheers.

Selena: “So Xander, see this award…it represents what you’re up against. A team. And while you’re licking your wounds after tonight, when we beat you, you can get ready for one more defeat at the hands of the Hellcat and I look forward to watching it all. BELIEVE IT!”

Selena turns to Regan.

Regan: “Let’s kick his ass!”

The crowd cheers as their music comes back up. Regan and Selena turn and start to head to the ring, now carrying their trophy.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and if Frozen Hell loses, they most disband following the Tag League. First, one their way to the ring, they are the 2020 Tag Team of the Year, Selena Frost, Regan Street, they are Frozen Hell!”

The camera then cut to ringside where Adam Sharper sits with CHBK.

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to Regan and Selena. Let’s hope this night continues to go well for them. But first, hello again, I’m Adam Sharper alongside CHBK at ringside. Well, with Jon hosting…”

CHBK: “Need someone to analyze thing. And that’s why I’m here. And congratulations to Frozen Hell. Funny enough, I’m in a great place to stand here to analyze them as a tag team and facing Xander Valentine and even at this event.”

Sharper: “We remember that match, you and Xander facing in 2006.”

CHBK: “My back remembers it too.”

Selena and Regan slide under the ropes to enter the ring. Getting to her feet, Selena lifts her hand up to give a twirl as the lights form to make a massive snowflake under her. Stopping her spin and lowering her hand back down, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a smirk graces her lips, her other arm lifting to the sky once more as Regan, matching her partner's smirk, lowers down to a pouncing stance. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out blue streaks of fire as the lights return to normal. Regan jumps to a turnbuckle and continues to pose while Selena stands near her, holding the trophy.

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

“Life it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no one else

I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give

There is nothing more for me

Need the end to set me free”

As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp. Boos start to hail down on him, but there are some cheers beneath. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining and holding Xander’s United States Championship belt. 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: “Their opponent, accompanied by Artemis, he is the SCW United States Champion, the Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

Things not what they used to be

Missing one inside of me

Deathly lost, this Can t be real

Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me

To the point of agony

Growing darkness taking dawn

I was me, but now he 's gone

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 timekeeper to take the position of a watcher. She stands there as if no one else exists but Xander and his opponent. Xander looks over at Artemis for a moment, for the first time acknowledging her existence before leaping over the top rope. He steps over to the corner and prepares for the battle ahead, looking across at Regan and Selena.

CHBK: “That’s the glare that freezes so many.”

Sharper: “Even you.”

CHBK: “I’ve always said I respected his abilities. Even told Infamous that back in the day. He’s not someone to mess with, especially when he has a goal. And Frozen Hell may be the next list of accolades. And how sweet that would be. Dark Fantasy can kiss them goodbye in the new year in the Tag League!”

Frozen Hell vs. Xander Valentine

The bell sounds and immediately, Xander runs across the ring and boots Regan in the head. Regan falls back and through the ropes to the floor. The crowd boos loudly as Selena turns and runs over and kicks Xander in the thigh. Xander staggers and Selena kicks him again in the thigh before nailing him with a hard right. Xander shoves Selena back with a shove to the face. Selena rolls through. Xander steps up and Selena gets up and dropkicks Xander in the knee.

Sharper: “Right off the bat. Xander takes down Regan. Selena fighting hard.”

CHBK: “Succeeding for now, but for how long.”

Xander winces and Selena gets up. Xander gets to his hands and knees and Selena runs into the ropes and bounces off and jumps up and hits a senton backsplash to Xander’s lower back. Xander rolls over. Selena pushes him over and hooks the leg.

Xander kicks out. Regan starts to get up and Xander rolls over. Selena gets up and stomps Xander in the chest and then again and again before running into the ropes. She bounces off and Xander suddenly lifts her up over his head with a military press. The crowd roars and Xander turns and throws Selena over the top rope to the mats. Selena hits with a thud and rolls over. Regan gets up and Xander backs up. Regan checks on Selena. Regan then gets up onto the apron and the official stops her, but Xander tells him to let her in. Xander motions to Regan.

Sharper: “Xander now already bending the rules in favour of his opponents.”

CHBK: “And this is when Xander is the most dangerous. He’s confident. Even cocky. And this is someone I’ve never seen screw up when they’re both.”

Regan enters the ring and then gets up and nails Xander with a hard right and then another before Xander shoves her back again. This time, unlike with Selena, he follows up and grabs Regan as she gets up, but Regan goes for the eye. The crowd roars as Regan digs in for a moment before raking his eyes. Xander staggers back and Regan then runs at him and dropkicks him in the chest. Xander stumbles back and Regan gets up and runs into the ropes, bounces off and just throws herself into Xander, colliding into him, driving him back into the corner. Regan gets up and follows up after and nails him with a hard right and then another before climbing up to the middle turnbuckle. She nails him with a couple more hard rights before Xander reaches up and grabs her by the throat. Regan struggles, trying to pry Xander’s fingers apart, but instead, Xander runs up and hits a sitout chokebomb. The crowd ohs.

Regan rolls her shoulder up and rolls away. Xander falls back and turns, rubbing his chin. He gets up.

Sharper: “Big chokebomb. Only two. But you see Xander rubbing his chin.”

CHBK: “Regan can throw right hands. I’ll give her that. She’s a fighter. But she’s forgetting. She can’t win against a brick wall! This is great!”

Selena gets up and Regan starts to get up and turns to Xander who just boots her in the face. The crowd ohs and Regan hits the mat. She rolls over, looking out to the crowd, determined. She locks eyes with Selena for a moment as Selena looks up and Xander grabs Regan and pulls her up by the hair before scooping her up and hitting a huge spinning sidewalk slam. He pulls up on the legs.

Regan rolls her shoulder up. She rolls over as Xander gets up and turs as Selena pulls herself onto the apron, but immediately, Xander turns and knees her in the side, knocking her off. Xander then smirks as he turns back to Regan who is getting up. He grabs her, but Regan nails him in the ribs and then again. She goes to jump up for a jawbreaker, but Xander actually holds her up and then lifts her up and throws her legs out into a vicious flapjack. Regan rolls over in pain. Xander then walks over to her.

Sharper: “Xander with immense strength.”

CHBK: “This is what happens when you’re twice the size of your opponent. You can manhandle with ease.”

Sharper: “Regan finding that out. But she’s fighting.”

CHBK: “While Xander’s posing. He knows this is sapping them of their motivation. He’s doing what he wants. He got them off-kilter quick and put all of the stakes on them.”

Xander looks down at Regan. Regan grabs at his leg and starts to get up. Xander smirks and then rears back and knees her in the face. Regan falls back and Xander places his foot on her chest.

Regan violently kicks out.

Sharper: “Come on…”

CHBK: “Told you. He’s in that confident/cocky zone. He knows he can win and he’s now going to use it to screw with them.”

Regan rolls over and Selena pulls herself up and Xander turns and grabs Regan. He lifts her up and knees her in the ribs. He then whips her across the ring. Regan bounces off and Xander launches her up, but she spins through and lands behind him. Xander goes for a back elbow, but Regan ducks and runs into the ropes in front of Xander. She bounces off and hits a flying headscissors. Xander rolls through. He gets up and turns and Regan runs into the ropes and bounces off, but Xander grabs her by the throat. He hoists her up for a chokeslam, but Regan counters by wrapping her legs around his arm and taking him over with the Frost’s Bite! The crowd erupts in cheers as Selena cheers on Regan.

Sharper: “Shades of her sister! Frost’s Bite! The rolling armbar!”

CHBK: “Well you can teach an old cat new tricks!”

Xander fights a bit as Regan pulls back a bit and then looks around before using her left leg and kicking Xander in the face and then again. She rolls back. Xander rolls over, annoyed and gets up and turns and runs at Regan, who dropkicks him in the knee. Xander falls to the middle rope. Regan tags in Selena who spins around the ringpost and hits a running kick to the head. Xander falls back and Regan turns and hits one leg drop. The crowd yells out “One!” She gets up and hits a second leg drop. “Two!” Regan rolls back as Selena springboards to the top rope and dives off with a turning guillotine leg drop of her own onto Xander. “Three!”

Sharper: “There’s the teamwork. The Frozen Hell teamwork that drove them to become the Tag Team of the Year!”

Selena goes for the pin.

Xander powers out. Selena rolls off. Regan returns to the corner.

Sharper: “But is that the opening.”

CHBK: “They’re not longer divided. They’re working together. But I’ll still hold that Xander can fight out of this.”

Sharper: “Selena and Regan are going to challenge you there!”

Xander rolls over and stirs and Selena hits a shoot kick to the chest and then another. She runs into the ropes and bounces off and jumps up for a hurricanrana, but Xander catches her and powerbombs her down.

CHBK: “See!”

Selena rolls over in pain. Xander turns and turns back to nail Regan, but Regan ducks and Xander misses. She then rears back and nails him with the WTH. Xander staggers back and falls to a knee. He looks out, almost part shocked, and part dazed.

Sharper: “Regan got all of that WTH!”

CHBK: “She knew he was going to try and knock her off again.”

Sharper: “Looks like the cocky is taking over!”

CHBK: “You may be right!”

Sharper: “Mark this day down, folks!”

CHBK: “Ah, shut it!”

Xander starts to get up and turns and Selena runs at him and hits a bicycle kick. Xander falls back and backflips over the top rope to the floor. He lands on his feet and staggers back as Regan then looks around and smirks before spinning around the ringpost herself and running along the apron and hitting the Love Tap. Xander hits the mats and Regan lands and rolls through. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Regan off the apron! Love Tap!”

Selena turns and goes to the corner. She then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd erupts in cheers as Xander slowly gets up and Regan walks around Xander, trying to keep him in position, by making him focus on her.

Sharper: “The teamwork! Look at Regan!”

CHBK: “Xander’s broken his concentration. He’s focusing on the wrong one!”

Xander watches Regan and Regan then points behind him and turns as Selena dives off with a moonsault to the floor, taking him down. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Shades of the lead-up to Rise to Greatness last year. The night Selena knocked out Xander!”

CHBK: “And they have Xander down!”

Selena rolls off and turns to Regan and Xander is down as the crowd cheers. Selena and Regan high-five and then turn and look at Xander who slowly stirs. Selena and Regan then head over and both start to stomp away on Xander. The crowd cheering more. They get several shots in as the official pauses his count to convince them to move back into the ring. Selena and Regan then both grab Xander and pull him up. He then drag him to the ring and both lift him into the ring. He rolls over and Selena grabs at the ropes, pulling herself up onto the apron and then grabs the top rope and hits a hilo onto Xander. She turns back and hooks the leg.

Xander kicks out. Selena rolls off. Regan climbs onto the apron and Selena tags her in. Xander rolls over and moves away from the ropes, slow to get up only for Regan to enter and both Selena and Regan run at Xander and hit double dropkicks. Xander falls to his knees and leans back. Selena and Regan then look at each other before grabbing Xander and hitting a double DDT. The crowd roars. Selena rolls away and Regan rolls Xander over for the pin.

Xander just gets his shoulder up.

Sharper: “Double DDT, but that only got two!”

CHBK: “Barely!”

Sharper: “They’ve turned this all around!”

Regan gets up and snaps at Xander.

Regan: “Want to know what dominance is?”

Regan turns back to Selena. Regan then tags her in and Regan grabs Xander and pulls him out by the head as Selena runs into the ropes and hits a kick to the chest. Xander pops up and Regan runs into the ropes, bouncing off. She then slides through his legs and Xander, trying to figure out where they’re coming from, Selena runs in the same direction Regan first did and on the rebound, she jumps up for a spinning heel kick, while Regan hits a chopblock. Selena goes for the pin.

Xander just get his shoulder up again. The crowd ohs. Regan looks over to Selena. Selena turns as Regan exits. Selena then tags Regan back in.

Sharper: “Frozen Hell just piling on. This is dominance! This is true dominance!”

CHBK: “And they’re even rubbing it in by using the tags.”

Regan runs over and grabs Xander as Selena does too. They then hit double snapmares and Selena runs into the ropes, hitting a spinning heel kick to his face, knocking him back. Regan turns, climbing up to the top rope. She then looks out and hits the Price Tag. The crowd ohs. Regan goes for the pin.

Xander gets his shoulder up again. Xander rolls over and looks out, almost stunned as Regan gets up and Xander reaches around. Regan turns and grabs him and then turns and Xander tries to stop Regan but Xander grabs her by the throat. Regan kicks him in the ribs and then runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Xander steps toward the official as Regan jumps up and hits a running dropkick and Xander falls back, his arm catching the official in the side of the head. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Xander just fell into the official!”

CHBK: “That wasn’t a fall. That was intentional. I saw him moving toward him. Xander’s overwhelmed. I’ve never seen this when he’s been at the top. Part of me is happy. Part of me is pissed it’s from these two!”

Regan looks up and Xander turns, grabbing at the ropes. Regan then looks at Xander as she grabs him, pulling him up. She grabs his head, but Xander reaches up and digs his fingers into her eyes and rakes them. Regan falls back. The crowd boos. Xander staggers and turns and runs over to Selena and grabs her. He pulls her in, but Selena, expecting it, spins through, landing on her feet. She hits a shoot kick to the chest. Xander stumbles back and Selena runs into the ropes and jumps to the top rope. She goes for the Defying Gravity, but Xander drops down and Selena lands on her feet, spinning around. Xander then boots her in the head. Xander staggers off.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine with the boot and somehow fighting back. Well, I shouldn’t say somehow. He disrupted the rhythm and bent the rules.”

CHBK: “But that was desperation. And now, Xander back in charge and now pissed off himself!”

Xander then sees Regan and runs over and knees her in the ribs and then a second time. He looks around before hoisting her up onto the top rope. The crowd roars as Xander starts to move quicker, while wincing in pain, realizing his short window. The desperation continues as he then double underhooks Regan. The crowd roars. Xander then smirks, confidence returning before he hoists her up for the Martial Bane and turns, but Regan counters with a frankensteiner, as both crash to the mats. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Regan countered! She countered the Martial Bane!”

CHBK: “Regan lured him in!”

Regan looks around and smacks the mat as she starts to get up and Xander slowly pulls himself up as Regan turns and sees the official getting up. Regan tags in Selena as Selena then enters the ring and Xander starts to get up, his eyes darting between the two before Selena nails Xander with the Glass Shard. Xander staggers and turns to Regan who nails him with a second WTH. Xander falls to a knee as Selena then jumps to the top rope and dives off with the Defying Gravity. She connects and Xander hits the mat. Selena then goes for the pin as Regan places her foot on Xander for good measure.

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Frozen Hell is going nowhere!”

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Selena Frost, Regan Street, they are Frozen Hell!”

The crowd cheers as the bell sounds and Selena rolls off of Xander. Regan steps off and snaps at him. Xander remains down for a moment, slowly rolling over.

Sharper: “Frozen Hell showing why they’re the best team!”

CHBK: “Talk about the emotion there. Frozen Hell winning, but you saw Xander at the end. He knew he bit on too much. He hit his wall!”

Sharper: “And now, at Last Grasp of Reality, Regan Street will challenge Xander Valentine for the US Title. What will their confidence be like? It’s a very different story than the last few weeks. Xander looked human tonight!”

CHBK: “He did. And you can sit at home going, well, it was two on one. Xander agreed to it. He was cocky. He thought he’d destroy them. His own personal view of himself shattered. Frozen Hell did just that.”

Sharper: “And the shattering down by the same move that set off Xander a year and a half ago…Defying Gravity. It beats him again tonight.”

Regan looks at Xander as Selena just watches him too.

Regan: “Coming for the belt! Talk about dominance now? I’m coming to end this run of yours once and for all. This was just the first step!”

The crowd cheers as Xander leans on the apron. Frozen Hell keep playing to the crowd, soaking in their win as the scene fades to black.

We see a blurry vision, showing a shot of Bree Lancaster holding the SCW World Championship before cutting to a shot of David Helms holding the World Title. Following this, a blurry shot of James Evans walking to the ring comes up before coming into focus and fading out to a blurry shot, coming into focus, of Syren in the ring, yelling at the crowd. It cuts to black. We see a shot of Sasha walking to the ring before we see a flash of a lizard come up on the screen before showing Giovanni Aries laughing and then a shot of Sienna Swann yelling at Mr. D in South Africa. After this, we see a shot of Ricky James looking around, stunned as Asher Hayes celebrates in the ring at Last Laugh. From this, a shot of Datura and Kimberly Williams throwing stereo fireballs at one another before cutting to black.

“Do you know what to believe?”

We see a shot of Minerva straddling Adam Allocco before cutting to a shot of Chris Cannon shaking his head. The Last Grasp of Reality logo comes up on the screen.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents Last Grasp of Reality, on Sunday, January 24, 2021, only on pay per view!”

The scene fades to black.

Jonathan Knots stands on the stage.

Knots: “The next time we will be on pay per view, January 24, 2021. Last Grasp of Reality. And if you liked what you just saw, Regan Street will look to do it solo against Xander Valentine for the US Championship!”

Knots pauses.

Knots: “But now, we will announce the 2020 Female Wrestler of the Year!”

The crowd roars.

Knots: “So, I have the envelope. Let’s see who it is…”

Knots rips open the envelope and slides out the card. He chuckles.

Knots: “Oh great…your 2020 Female Wrestler of the Year…Bree Lancaster!”

The crowd boos loudly as “Natural” by Imagine Dragons plays throughout the arena. A few moments pass before Bree Lancaster walks out from the back, smiling, holding the interim World Championship. She looks around as Scott Burnside walks out with her, clapping. Bree walks over and points to Knots before turning and pointing to the trophy. Knots rolls his eyes and grabs the trophy and turns to present it to her. Bree smiles, posing for pictures before taking it. She then shoos him away as Bree walks over and moves the microphone into position.

Bree: “Was there any other choice? I mean there are only two dominant women here, no matter what others will say…Sienna or me. Either would have been a good choice, but it looks like THIS…does the talking.”

Bree holds the SCW interim World Championship up.

Bree: “Now, don’t get this wrong. This isn’t interim. I’m not holding it for David Helms. And Jordan Majors, sorry, hun, but you’re not winning it from me tonight. I’ve held this title for over half the year. I am the REAL World Champion and nothing changes that…and that’s why I’m standing here as your Female Wrestler of the year. I am the symbol of excellence in SCW. Period!”

The crowd boos as Bree looks around.

Bree: “And I will continue to stand here in this position. That’s what Sienna and I represent. Ambition. Greatness. For her…perfection. For me, champion. And Jordan Majors, David Helms, or anyone else put in front of me, will not win. And this farce of this interim tag is getting closer and closer to being something of the past so everyone realizes what I’ve always said is true. I am your World Champion and I’m the measuring stick!”

Bree pauses.

Bree: “See you soon Jordan…and you too David.”

Bree then steps back as “Natural” plays again. Bree turns and holds up her trophy and the World Title at the same time before turning to Scott. Scott smiles, clapping still as Bree and him head to the back. Jonathan Knots watch them go as the scene cuts to black.

“The 2020 Feud of the Year…”

We cut to see Sienna Swann getting up off of Jake Starr at Cold Blooded 2020.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Sienna Swann!”

Jordan Majors comes to the ring and pulls herself up to the apron and then into the ring. She then steps into the ring and walks over to Sienna as Sienna steps up. She continues to watch Jordan before Jordan grabs her arm and raises it. The crowd boos.

Knots: “That tells you that! Friendship is thicker than blood!”

Sienna smiles as she then holds her other arm up. We then cut to shots of Jordan Majors invited into Sienna Swann’s locker room, when Jake Starr is forced to head to the ring alone. This is followed by a shot of Jake Starr upset, before cutting to a shot of Jordan Majors helping Bree Lancaster in the Thunderdome at Retribution before seeing Sienna Swann talking angrily to Sasha. We cut back to Cold Blooded. Xiomara applauds from ringside as Jordan keeps her arm up. The boos continue before Jordan suddenly jumps up and drives Sienna down to the mat with the Cash Out. The crowd erupts in cheers as Xiomara’s glee turns to shock. Jordan gets up and turns to Sienna, flipping her off, yelling at her.

Jordan: “Fuck you, you manipulative bitch!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Jordan turns to Xiomara and rolls to the floor. Starr, who is recovering, looks up, smiling as Jordan heads to the back.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors just planted Sienna Swann!”

The music changes as we see Jordan Majors in the ring.

Jordan: “For months, I’ve been forced to choose between friends, family, people I love, people I lean on for support…and to the point that I’ve had to find people I can count on in this moment and well, after the last couple of weeks, the phony apologies, the threats of firing, the needing to tip-toe, all while trying to give my brother what he wanted…a team with his sister while also trying to navigate my way in SCW…I knew one thing…Sienna Swann is a manipulative bitch!”

The roar of the crowd is heard.

Jordan: “I now know what my purpose is, what my focus is, and it’s going to be causing you to crash and burn and bring your manipulations to an end. You thought you failed at Retribution…I plan to make that only your second biggest failure in SCW this year, because when I push you off the pedestal you put yourself on…then I know exactly who the hell I am and that Jordan F’n Majors!”

Jordan brings the microphone down as “Nightmare” by Halsey starts to play. The crowd cheers as Jordan looks around.

Sharper: “Sounds like she’s going to war against Sienna!”

We then see shots of Sienna Swann getting increasingly enraged, yelling at Sasha, at Jessica Winters, and even Chris Cannon trying to calm her down. We cut to a shot of her trying to break into the luxury box of Blake Mason before getting pulled away by security.

“Taking Hold of the Flame 2020”

We cut to see Jordan Majors entering the ring at number two.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors is out second. Has a target on her back with the Beauty Factory.”

We then cut to see multiple shots of Jordan Majors in the ring, fighting to stay in and attacking other entrants before Sienna Swann enters and we see her go right for Jordan Majors, attacking her with repeated knee strikes.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann in! The IronAngel is going right for Jordan Majors!”

We then cut to later in the match where Jordan Majors takes Sienna down with a Lou Thesz Press followed by some right hands. We then cut to see the two attacking each other.

Knots: “Finding another wind to battle with Swann. But Swann is winning!”

Sharper: “The Ironangel fresher, but Majors showing she’s an Ironwoman herself!”

We then cut again to a later point where Majors pulls up Chris Cannon. She starts to lift him up. She tries to eliminate him, but Cannon elbows out of it. Jordan turns around and Sienna suddenly drills her with the Kiss of an Angel. Majors stumbles back and into the ropes. Sienna then runs over and clotheslines her over. The crowd boos loudly as Majors lands on the outside, eliminated.

Sharper: “Damn! From number one…”

Sienna: “I’m the only Ironwoman around here, bitch.”

Knots: “Jesus!”

Sharper: “Swann eliminating Majors. The Kiss of an Angel. And Majors couldn’t do anything to stop it!”

“The War We Made” by Red starts to play as we cut to see shots of Josh Hudson and Blake Mason talking to Jordan Majors as we then see a shot of Jordan Majors getting knocked off a stage as Sienna pushes an official into her. Majors hits the ground and rolls over and looks up as Sienna smirks.

You're a voice when the light is gone
Never know who's side it's on
Think you're gonna see someone
But you are the only one

Am I alone? Am I alright?
Am I insane? Am I alive?
What does it take to stop waging war with

We then see Josh Hudson and Jordan Majors talking backstage.

Jordan: “Josh…”

Josh: “We should chat now. You heard Sienna.”

Jordan: “And I made it clear. This is my fight.”

Josh: “Except she’s making it my fight. You want Blake and I to focus on each other. Then we step up here.”

Jordan: “She’s doing what she always does. Creates a group of people who see her for who she is and tries to turn things into a war, so she can bring in her enablers. She wants it not one on one so she can divide and conquer, but straight up, she knows she’s slipping. And straight up, she knows there’s as good of a chance as any I end Rise to Greatness with her out looking up at the lights!”

We see a shot of Jordan Majors running down to help Jason Helms as he winces in pain.

All I thought I wanted
All I thought I needed?
Waking up from myself
To a life outside this hell
No more lies, no more pain
You can't fight the war we made
The war we made

Sienna goes for a hard right, but Jordan blocks it and kicks her in turns and rolls her into the ring. Jordan slides in after and Sienna starts to get up. Jordan gets up and forearms her in the jaw and then again before backing up. She goes for the Kiss of an Angel. Majors sidesteps. Sienna stops and turns and Majors jumps up for the Cash-Out. Sienna pushes her away. Sienna then runs at Majors and Majors ducks as Sienna goes up and over the top rope to the floor. Majors then backs up, demanding her to come in. Diaz slides in and runs over to Majors and clubs her in the back and then again. She then grabs Majors and pulls up her as Sienna slides in. Majors however jumps up and hits the Cash-Out on Diaz. Diaz rolls over as the crowd roars.

Am I alone? Am I alright?
Am I insane? Am I alive?
What does it take to stop waging war with?
Am I alone? Am I alright?
Am I insane? Am I alive?
What does it take to?
What does it take to?

We then see a shot of Sienna Swann hitting the Kiss of an Angel on Jordan Majors again at Taking Hold of the Flame from multiple angles and seeing her dump her over the top rope before we cut to see a shot of her trying to hit it on Jordan Majors during the six person tag match on the July 15 edition of Breakdown. Majors blocks it and forearms her. We then cut to later in the match where she hits the Cash Out on Jordan.

Sharper: “Cash Out on Sienna! She hit the Cash Out on Sienna Swann!”

We see shots of the Cash Out from multiple angles too.

Waking up from myself
To a life outside this hell
No more lies, no more pain
You can't fight the war we made

The war we made
The war we made
The war we made
The war we made

As the song continues, we see shots of Sienna Swann and Jordan Majors fighting.

Sienna: “You can try and copy me all you want. I hear people talking about you being the next best thing. People talked about me replacing Kelcey. I never replaced someone who was always second to me…the issue for you…you’re not even ranked. You’re on this Cinderella run and it all comes to an end. Not just your time at the top…oh no…your career. And all of this is from one moment…that moment where you turned your back on me, on Bree, on Jaina…and for what? You get the crowd to cheer you?! You don’t have to have more awkward family dinners with your brother. NONE of that matters Jordan when you’re never going to experience either again after this Sunday. Jake likes winners. It’s why he tags along with David…when will he turn on him…and as for the rush of the crowd….[bleep] them.”

Jordan: “Come on Sienna…you’re so sure of it all. And I mean you blame SCW and Sasha for all of your failings. Why not hurt her? You’re so sure I’m beneath you, that you could remove a main event and laugh in her face. Right? Keep talking big, Sienna. I see right through it. Hit me with the Kiss of an Angel again! End me like you claim. But just remember I can put you down just as fast…last week for example, when I hit you with the Cash Out. And there is nothing more I want to do that for you to hit you with that on the biggest stage of wrestling.”

We cut to see the two in the ring. Sienna steps up.

Sienna: “Try it again! You hit it for the last time last week!”

Jordan: “We’ll see Sienna. Because as far as I’m concerned, it’s going to be who is faster…and with all of the ego you need to carry, I think I have the edge. And I’m going to love watching the next temper tantrum after Rise to Greatness!”

Sienna steps up and Xiomara holds her back. Jordan just stands a few feet away.

Sienna: “Let go of me!”

Xiomara: “You’re making a mistake.”

We then see Jordan standing on the stage as Sienna yells into the microphone.

Sienna: “I can’t wait to end you this Sunday! That WILL be perfect!”

The song ends as does the recap.

“The 2020 Feud of the Year…Sienna Swann vs. Jordan Majors”

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

End of the Year Open Invitational

We cut to Jason Phillips in the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the End of the Year Open Invitational!”

The crowd roars. The camera cuts to the side of a stage, showing a Cadillac Escalade.

Phillips: “Eliminations will be by pinfall or submission and the winner of the match will receive $250 000 and this brand new 2021 Cadillac Escalade!”

The crowd cheers a few moments longer before we cut to the stage. The arena lights go completely black. Lightning begins to streak around the entrance way, as "The Terminator" theme blares through the sound system. Smoke rises from the stage as the lightning slowly dies down. As the music continues and the smoke clears, a figure turning slowly rises to its feet in the smoke. The music then transitions into "Who Knew" by Lil' Dicky as Beard reveals himself, stepping out from the smoke, with the crowd erupting in cheers.

Phillips: “Here are your entrants. First, on his way to the ring…Beard!”

Beard makes his way to the ring, taking some time out to lean into the crowd. He then runs and slides into the ring under the bottom rope.

Sharper: “We’ve been told some eleven competitors have entered.”

CHBK: “And none of them have stepped up to ask for a contract to face Syren.”

Sharper: “Are you offering a car and a quarter of a million?”

CHBK: “I’m not. But why not do both? Prestige too! Beard would know about that. He’s needed more prestige for years.”

The entire arena turns into a crimson red color as "Crimson Bow & Arrow" by Epica begins to play. The crowd boos loudly as Anastasia Ivanova steps out onto the stage. She is dressed for action and a sadistic grin is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do.

Phillips: “Anastasia Ivanova!”

She playfully and somewhat maniacally skips down to the ring almost like a child. She rounds a corner and begins to ascend the steel steps, steps onto the ring apron, and poses for the fans. Finally Anastasia steps into the ring.

Sharper: “Ivanova has already annoyed some people, highlighting her support and plans to give the winnings to Bree Lancaster and Sienna Swann.”

CHBK: “Need to find more storage spots for their egos. It’s thoughtful.”

“Undefeated" by Daughtry blares through the sound system. There is no pyro. There is nothing special going on. Out from the back steps Mitch Sanders, as the crowd begins to cheer.

Phillips: “Mitch Sanders!”

Mitch,however, doesn’t look at the crowd. He just focuses on the ring, which he heads to, before the show goes to a commercial break.

Sharper: “Mitch Sanders-“

CHBK: “Oh God…he’s still alive? Good for him.”

The lights dim as several spotlights shine down upon the entrance ramp. The opening chords of "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC begins to play over the PA system. The lights all come on. Pyro goes off. The tron flashes to life and the words "Her Royal Majesty" appears on the tron only to be set ablaze and burn away in a fire, almost as if Rome itself were burning. The words "The Queen is dead" appear in its place. Then Julia Braddock steps out onto the stage decked out in her wrestling attire, looking ready to go. Julia goes to one side of the stage and pumps her fists in the air to encourage them to cheer loudly which gets a positive reaction. She goes to the other side of the stage and does the same, also getting a positive reaction. Julia then turns towards the ramp and charges towards the ring.

Phillips: “Julia Braddock!”

Julia hops up onto the ring apron and then jumps over the top rope and into the ring.

Sharper: “The sister of the reigning Adrenaline Champion, Glory Braddock and she certainly can go herself.”

CHBK: “But this is what SCW is about. Come here. You get new eyes. Fresh eyes. And you get more eyes. Look at the field. A lot people looking to get notices beyond the quick cash and car.”

Sharper: “Or may just looking for a new challenge.”

“All Around The Stars” by Mercy Drive begins to play throughout the arena. Manvel suddenly appears on the Tron as he hops out and poses at the entranceway. Manvel starts making his way down to the ring trying to kiss all the girls, most of them slap the greasy wrestler who wears more body oil than a 2-pound Chicken Fryer. Manvel hops around excited as he gets a mix reaction of cheers and boos.

Phillips: “The Mantastic One, Manvel!”

He slides into the ring literally.

CHBK: “We need towels. Lots of em!”

Sharper: “Someone heard about a battle royal and he made sure to be here!”

The beat of “Gimme More” starts and D'Nae saunters out, followed by her manager Jeffery Alexander. He grabs her hand and raises it overhead, watching while D'Nae turns and dances to the song's chorus. D'Nae completes her turn to see Jeff pointing at his cheek. D'Nae plants a kiss there, then they both start down the ramp, some dance in D'Nae's step as they go, Jeff following behind.

Phillips: “D’Nae Moore!”

They get to the ring and Jeff goes up the steps then to the apron. D'Nae hops up to sit on the apron, then swings her legs up and pulls herself up with the ropes before stepping through as Jeff holds the ropes open for her.

Sharper: “Here’s someone who could surprise us all. D’Nae Moore!”

CHBK: “Some good young talent. Catch my eye and maybe Infamous may be looking to mentor someone.”

The booming bass of “Drive” by The Cars rumbles throughout the arena as yellow, white, and green lights begin to flash. The crowd roars as a Honda Civic appears next to the stage, slowly driving its way further into the arena. It comes to a stop. The driver’s side door is opened to reveal VIHAAN, who steps out and waves enthusiastically at the cheering audience. He shuts the door behind him and walks towards the ramp. He climbs up and begins to make his way down the ramp, towards the ring.

Phillips: “VIHAAN!”

VIHAAN slides into the ring and rushes towards the corner, suddenly leaping flawlessly to the second rope. He looks out into the crowd and raises his fist into the air.

Sharper: “We don’t know much about this young man, just that he’s a fan of Jordan Majors.”

CHBK: “And apparently drives a car…guess he wants to add to his collection.”

"You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake"
"Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold"

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

Phillips: “Marie Jones!”

As for Marie herself, she heads to the ring, ignoring the fans. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring.

Sharper: “Well this is a surprise. Marie Jones back in SCW. And she’s been creating controversy elsewhere as of late. Attacking her mother.”

CHBK: “Looks like she wants another run. To see if she can get to the very top. A shame as there was a chance for it at one point. Maybe she’ll finally think clearly!”

“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. She begins is march to the walk to the ring walking with a purpose.

Phillips: “Gigi Steward!”

She gets to ringside and rushes into the ring rolling inside. She marches to the corner and hops on the middle ropes and throws out her own hand sign to the fans. She then rips off the bandana and tosses it into the crowd.

CHBK: “Underrated! That’s what she is.”

Sharper: “We’ve not seen Gigi Steward in a long time. Returning to the ring tonight. Looking to finally win one match that’s always been outside of the Steward mantle.”

The lights suddenly turn off in the arena. Immediately the big screen goes completely bright white, almost blinding. Then the white light simmers down. The voice of Jay Gold can be heard saying "The old is about to become the new." Those words also display on the big screen. A few moments pass before the white background with the words turns to a solid gold background. "Until The Day I Die" by Story of the Year begins to play. As the song gets to the chorus, one gold pyro goes off on each side of the stage. At this moment Jay Gold appears on the stage and surveys the crowd, genuinely smiling and nodding. As he hears the crowd's positive response he begins to head to the ring.

Phillips: “Jay Gold!”

Once he arrives he walks up the steel steps and steps into the ring. He again nods at his surroundings and gives the crowd the thumbs up.

CHBK: “Good think for Jay. I’m not in the match!”

Sharper: “Yeah. You and him have a long rivalry. But he’s been struggling as of late. This is a match that can turn things around.”

CHBK: “True, but then again, I’ll say this. He’s not been the same Jay Gold of the past. He’s gotten more in his head. And that’s great for everyone else. Bad for him.”

The arena lights dim down, as the opening riffs of "Awake" by Godsmack echo throughout the arena. At the 26 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: “And finally, Asher Hayes!”

“Wait another minute
Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me
I'm alive and still kickin'
What you see I can't see and maybe
You'll think before you speak”

He makes his way down the ramp as the reaction of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, simply looking at the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.

“I'm alive for you
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive I told you
I'm awake swallowing you...”

He stands, once again, on the top rope. He tosses his shades out to the crowd, as he looks toward the ceiling, before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing it to the ref before leaning into the corner, waiting for the match to begin.

CHBK: “This jackass…”

Sharper: “Asher Hayes. A love of competition driving him here. Maybe looking to get back to the winning side of things before walking into 2021 and looking to finish off the Tag League.”

CHBK: “Yeah…we’ll see.”

The bell sounds as Mitch Sanders steps up and throws his arm up, but VIHAAN runs into the ropes behind him. Sanders turns and VIHAAN drills him with the Five Star Service. The crowd ohs. VIHAAN steps up, stunned before throwing his arms up and then, D’Nae Moore grabs him and throws him through the ropes. Marie Jones dives onto Mitch for the pin as Gigi attacks Julia and Beard and Gold pair off.

Phillips: “Mitch Sanders has been eliminated!”

Sharper: “VIHAAN with a hell of a clothesline.”

CHBK: “Well he can certainly throw one. Too bad he got excited. Moore at least knew to get him out of the ring for now!”

Marie then gets up and turns and Manvel hits a Mankick, knocking her down. The crowd roars as Manvel turns and dropkicks D’Nae, knocking her down. She rolls to the floor. Gigi nails Jula with a couple more shots before she turns and Manvel hits her with a Mankick. He nails Asher with one too as the crowd roars and Manvel starts to look around as Beard and Gold fall to the floor. Manvel then turns and grabs Anastasia by the head, but she suddenly grabs him by the arm and forces him down with the Crimson Horror. The crowd roars. Gold rolls back into the ring and breaks it up. The crowd boos. Gold looks at the crowd before grabbing Anastasia and running her into the corner. Manvel rolls over and stirs as we see him turn into Julia Braddock who kicks him in the ribs and hits the Cult of Personality. The crowd ohs and some boo as Braddock rolls him over.

Phillips: “Manvel has been eliminated!”

We cut to a wide shot where D’Nae Moore is grabbed by Beard and thrown into the barricade. He follows up as VIHAAN looks around, trying to come to terms that he’s actually in a match as Gigi grabs at the ropes and Julia turns and knocks her off. The crowd ohs. Marie and Asher start to get up as Gold grabs Anastasia and whips her across the ring. She hits the opposite corner and Gold runs after and Anastasia gets a boot up. Gold staggers out and Anastasia smirks before VIHAAN runs over and grabs her leg. Anastasia tries to run out, but VIHAAN holds on and Anastasia tries to shake him off before getting free. She staggers forward only for Gold to grab her and hit the Golden Moment!

Sharper: “VIHAAN leads to another elimination. This one Anastasia Ivanova!”

CHBK: “This is the problem! You need to keep your head on a swivel. And if you don’t respect some people, like the unknown in VIHAAN, they can cost you!”

Gold rolls Anastasia Ivanova over.

Phillips: “Anastasia Ivanova has been eliminated!”

Beard backs up and runs at D’Nae Moore who suddenly hip tosses him into the barricade. The crowd ohs. Jeffrey Alexander points to her as Moore walks around and runs over and nails VIHAAN from behind. Gold gets up and Asher kicks him in the ribs and runs him into the corner. Marie then runs up behind Asher into a school boy.

Asher kicks out. D’Nae goes over to Gigi as she gets up and kicks her in the ribs before driving her face first into the announce table. Julia grabs Gold and chops him in the chest. The crowd woos. Julia chops him again. Marie kicks Asher in the ribs and gets him in the opposite corner. Marie and Julia look at one another and both go to whip their respective opponent across, but Asher and Gold spin through and sends Maria and Julia into one another. The crowd ohs. They fall to the mat. Asher then turns and goes for a hard right, on Gold, but Gold blocks it and then ducks under and fireman’s carry him over into a bridging pin.

Hayes kicks out. Hayes rolls over to the ropes and just then, D’Nae Moore pulls Hayes out of the ring. She then runs him into the barricade. He falls over. D’Nae slides in after and clotheslines Gold down. Gold rolls over. She looks around and turns and grabs Marie and knees her in the ribs and then again before running into the ropes behind her and hitting the Flip the Script. The crowd ohs. She rolls over Marie for the pin.

Marie kicks out. She rolls over and D’Nae turns and Julia dropkicks her down. She then turns and hits an elbow drop. She gets up and hits a second elbow drop before getting up and hitting a curtsey. The crowd boos as she then gets up, and suddenly, Gigi nails her from behind with a Backcracker. The crowd ohs. Gigi goes for the pin.

Julia kicks out. Beard slowly gets in as D’Nae rolls over in pain. Gigi turns and grabs D’Nae. She grabs her and sets up for the Platinum Blonde, but D’Nae shoves her off. Gigi falls into the ropes. Beard then runs at Gigi and nails her with a forearm before turning and grabbing D’Nae before she can get figured out and taking her down by the leg. He goes for a figure four, but Gold then runs out and takes him down. Beard rolls over. D’Nae rolls over and turns and Marie then grabs her and hits the Ave Maria.

CHBK: “Everyone on D’Nae Moore!”

Sharper: “Clearly seeing her as a threat!”

CHBK: “Or someone who is under siege. You get anyone out you can!”

Marie goes for the pin.

The crowd boos.

Phillips: “D’Nae Moore has been eliminated!”

Gold grabs Beard and kicks him in the ribs and works on him in the corner. Marie gets up and just then, Julia runs over and throws Marie out of the ring. She turns around and Gigi runs at her. Julia lowers her head and back drops Gigi up and over the top rope. Julia looks around and just then, we see Asher Hayes slide into the ring and run over and clothesline Julia over the top rope. She rolls over to the apron and down to the floor. Julia stirs as Asher looks around and then shrugs before climbing up to the top rope. Gigi, Julia and Marie get up on the floor and Asher dives off the top rope, taking all three down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes taking to the skies!”

CHBK: “May not be Adrenaline Champion, but thinking like one at least!”

Sharper: “VIHAAN now up on the floor. But Gold and Beard in the ring.”

Gold grabs Beard and whips him across the ring to the opposite corner. Gold runs after and Beard gets a boot up. Beard then runs out and hits a mat slam. Beard then steps forward and turns around as VIHAAN rolls into the ring. Beard turns to him. VIHAAN then runs at him and nails him with a hard right and then another. Beard covers up a bit as VIHAAN just tries to pummel him with clubbing blows to the back. VIHAAN then looks at his arm and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for another Five Star Service, but this time, Beard ducks. VIHAAN stops and looks around and then then turns and goes for a hard right, but Beard blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. He then clubs him in the back and whips him into the ropes. VIHAAN bounces off and Beard elbows him down. The crowd ohs and VIHAAN rolls over. He starts to get up and Gold comes over and both grab VIHAAN and club him in the back. They whip him into the ropes and VIHAAN yells the entire way. He bounces off and Gold and Beard back up to the ropes where they lift VIHAAN up and back drop him up and over, causing him to land on Asher Hayes and Marie Jones. Gold and Beard then step away from the ropes and immediately turn back to trading right hands.

Sharper: “VIHAAN unceremoniously dumped over the top rope.”

CHBK: “Simultaneously to take him out and hurt others. Hayes and Jones got his landing.”

Gold and Beard trade a few more blows before Beard gets the advantage, kneeing Gold in the ribs. He knees him again and hits a snap suplex. Beard turns and exits to the apron. He climbs up to the top rope as the crowd roars. Beard gets to the top rope and Gold gets up and runs over and jumps to the middle rope and then hits a springboard dropkick. Beard falls to top turnbuckle. Julia and Gigi stagger around the ring as Gold nails Beard with a hard right and then another before climbing up to the middle turnbuckle. He then grabs Beard and hooks him up before stepping up to the top rope. He then hoists Beard up and hits a top rope superplex to the middle of the ring. The crowd roars as they hit, but Gigi and Julia then climb the turnbuckles on opposite sides. Gigi dives off, hitting a frog splash onto Gold as Julia Braddock hits the shooting star press onto Beard. They both remain down for the pin.

Sharper: “Superplex! And then…my God! Frog Splash! Shooting Star!”

CHBK: “They were wide open!”

The referee counts both.

1! 1!

2! 2!

3! 3!

The crowd roars and applauds as Julia and Gigi roll off.

Phillips: “Jay Gold and Beard have been eliminated!”

Gigi rolls off as does Julia. Asher and Marie pull themselves up on the floor and VIHAAN stirs. Julia and Gigi turn to one another and Gigi forearms Julia. Julia fires back. Marie then turns and stomps on VIHAAN as the crowd boos. She stomps away on him and Asher turns and grabs her and pulls her away. Marie then hits a mule kick. The crowd ohs and Asher falls over in pain. The crowd boos loudly as Marie looks around and then stomps VIHAAN again. In the ring, Gigi grabs Julia and runs her over to the corner, but Julia blocks it. She elbows Gigi in the ribs and then again before getting her back and hitting a discus clothesline. She goes for the pin.

Gigi kicks out. Julia grabs Gigi and then drags her up as Marie slides into the ring. Julia kicks Gigi in the ribs and then pulls her up and Marie runs past both, jumps to the middle rope and hits a backflip, grabbing both of their heads and hitting reverse DDTs. The crowd boos. Marie turns and hooks the leg on Julia.

The crowd boos.

Phillips: “Julia Braddock has been eliminated!”

Marie then gets up and instead of going on the pin on Gigi, runs over her and jumps to the middle rope and hits the Divine Impact. The crowd boos again as Marie hooks the leg.

Marie rolls off and gets up and dusts her hands.

Phillips: “Gigi Steward has been eliminated!”

CHBK: “Looks like Marie Jones came to make a statement!”

Sharper: “And stepping on anyone to win this!”

Marie looks around and plays to the crowd as the crowd boos. She then turns as Asher Hayes returns to the ring and runs at her and spears her down. The crowd roars and Asher rolls through. He then gets up and mockingly dusts his hands. Marie rolls over, holding her ribs in pain and Hayes grabs her and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. He swivels his hips and starts to get up and drags her up before hitting another vertical suplex. The crowd cheers. He swivels his hips again and takes her over with a third. He then rolls off and Marie grimaces in pain and starts to roll over, holding her lower back. Hayes then motions for her to get up and Marie starts to and swings, but Asher blocks it and wrenches her arm, pulling her into a kick. He then hits the Ashes to Ashes. He rolls over and hooks the leg.

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Phillips: “Marie Jones has been eliminated!”

Asher Hayes then stands up.

Sharper: “Asher Hayes making sure Marie Jones’ new years is going to be a bit less happy!”

CHBK: “Looks like the same is going to happen to Asher Hayes!”

Asher Hayes stands up and looks down at Marie as the crowd boos as Ricky James slides into the ring, holding a kendo stick. He then runs up and nails him in the back of the head with the kendo stick. The crowd ohs and boos. Asher falls to the mat as Ricky spins around and yells at him.

Ricky: “Not tonight! In GOD we trust, Asher! You’re not winning this one!”

Ricky however turns as VIHAAN has fought his way to the ring and runs at Ricky and nails him with the Five Star Service! The crowd erupts in cheers. Ricky rolls out of the ring.

Sharper: “Ricky James nailed Asher Hayes. Hayes and James were the final two in the Adrenaline battle royal at Last Laugh. And now…VIHAAN!”

CHBK: “VIHAAN just drilled that hateful bastard!”

VIHAAN then turns and sees Asher down, holding his head and VIHAAN runs into the ropes, bouncing off and jumping up and hitting a big splash. He goes for the pin.

The crowd roars as the bell sounds.

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

Sharper: “I don’t believe it!”

CHBK: “He comes out of nowhere and wins this! A bit of a fluke, but he still won! And he just won a new card and a quarter of a million dollars!”

VIHAAN rolls off and the official comes over and raises his arm. He looks around and then jumps up and down. He drops down to the floor. He runs right past Ricky James, who grabs at him, but misses as he bolts for the new car. He drops down to the floor and runs over to the car, diving onto the hood.

Sharper: “Talk about a hell of a feelgood story. Anything can happen in SCW!”

VIHAAN keeps hugging the car as confetti goes off around the car. The crowd continues to cheer for him as VIHAAN starts to kiss the hood. Jessica Winters walks over to him.

Jessica: “VIHAAN! Can I get a word? You just won the End of the Year Open Invitational, along with $250 000 and this new Cadillac Escalade!”

VIHAAN: “It’s amazing! The greatest time of my life! Screw you Vijaan! I did this. Now Miss Jordan and Miss Cookie and I will drive in style!”

The crowd roars.

CHBK: “Who the hell is Vijaan?”

Sharper: “Looks like there was personal motivation, but I think he’s referring to Jordan Majors and Cookie Dreams. Looks like there’s a connection there!”

CHBK: “Guess so!”

VIHAAN returns to hugging the car as Jessica Winters steps back.

Jessica: “There you have it. Back to you Jonathan!”

The scene cuts to the stage where Jonathan Knots looks over.

Knots: “Someone may want to make sure it…well, that’s fine….Just given that Derek took car of the safety options. Anyway…we have plenty more awards and we should get back to them. Because well, next…the Manager of 2020! Who has led their clients to the top best this year?!”

Jonathan Knots grabs the envelope and holds it out before we see Lexy Chapel walk out from the back. She smiles as she snaps back.

Lexy: “Someone play my music!”

Lexy turns and walks over and grabs the award.

Lexy: “Well this is a surprise-“

Knots: “Uh…Lexy…”

Lexy: “Jonathan…this is highly unprofessional. I mean, Manager of the Year here. Got Crystal Zdunich into a tv show. Blake Mason is NOTHING without me and-“

Knots: “I haven’t read the card yet.”

Lexy: “There’s no need to read it. I’m the only option.”

Knots: “Well uh…well…”

Knots steps back as we see a couple of security guards walk out on the stage. Lexy looks at them.

Lexy: “I don’t need a door hung, I-“

They then grab her and lift her up. She looks around.

Lexy: “Hey! I’m getting my award! HEY!...FREE AUTUMN! FREE LEXY!”

We cut to ringside to see CHBK just head in his hand, shaking his head. Back to the stage, Knots walks over.

Knots: “Now your actual Manager of the Year for 2020…”

Knots rips open the envelope and pulls out the card.

Knots: “Kelcey Wallace!”

The crowd cheers as “Exodus” starts to play. A few moments pass before Kelcey Wallace walks out on the stage. We see in the background, Owen Cruze applauding and waiting by the entrance. Kelcey walks over and smiles as Knots hands her the award. She takes it and looks at it before turning to the crowd, the music fading out.

Kelcey: “Thank you for this…it was a heck of a year and one where I hoped to stand by some of the best talent in the business and hopefully pass something by to them. It was a challenging year and continues to be one and frankly, while people like Sienna Swann and Giovanni Aries show an open disregard for anyone and everyone…people like myself, like Owen, we’ll be standing up. And we will again…mark my words.”

The crowd roars.

Kelcey: “But for now, I will enjoy this….and I look forward to what is next coming up in 2021…and I hope that some of the things that should be done and left in the past….that happens this year!”

Kelcey nods.

Kelcey: “Thank you!”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey steps back and holds up the award. The crowd cheers as she looks around and turns and goes to Owen who nods and applauds for her. Kelcey smiles a bit and heads to the back.

Knots: “Now let’s find out the Match of 2020!”

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

“The SCW Match of the 2020…”

The scene opens up with a shot of Rise to Greatness XVII before cutting to a shot of Sienna Swann heading to the ring before cutting to Jordan Majors making her way down to the ring. We then cut to show Majors attacking Swann.

Sharper: “Majors! Forearm after forearm!”

Knots: “Sienna trying to get out of there. You wanted the fight. You didn’t want to wait. Jordan’s ready!”

This is followed by a shot of Sienna grabbing Majors by the hair and lifting her up before throwing her back down. We follow up with a shot of Sienna Swann hitting a gutbuster and then Majors hitting a hesitation dropkick in the corner. We then cut to show Majors throwing Swann into the steel steps.

Majors: “Wanna take me out? Going to make this hard for you Sienna!”

This is followed by a shot of Majors hitting Sienna Swann with the falcon arrow on the steel steps. This is followed by shots of Sienna Swann hitting a high angle back suplex and then nailing her with a couple of hard rights. We then suddenly see Majors hitting the Cash Out. Majors goes over and throws her arm over Sienna.

Sienna gets her foot on the bottom rope. We then cut to show Sienna Swann hitting Hollinsworth with the Kiss of an Angel by accident. Sienna leans on the ropes before cutting to show Swann nailing Majors with a clothesline. We then see Swann nailing Majors with one of the monitors, causing Majors to be bleeding.

Sharper: “Oh no…Majors cut over. The glass…”

Knots: “Sienna is loving this. Nothing stopping her.”

Sienna then grabs Majors and slowly pulls her up. Majors looks up.

Majors: “Bring it, bitch!”

We cut to Sienna throwing Majors face first into the ringpost and then showing her piefacing Jonathan Knots and then cutting to a shot of Swann hitting a Swann-ton Bomb off the top rope onto Majors through the announce table.

harper: “Unbelievable. What Sienna is willing to do for her self-centred vendetta!”

Knots: “Sharper, we got another official out here!”

Sharper: “This could be it. Sienna should be disqualified here…”

Sienna Swann looks up and Constantine heads over to Jordan before Xiomara stops him.

Xiomara: “You better not be doing what I’m thinking you’re going to.”

Constantine: “She used the monitor. She’s breaking the rules-“

Xiomara: “I wouldn’t test her right now!”

Constantine: “Just get out of my way, I need to check on Jordan. Jordan reaches up as she turns. Constantine turns to her.

Majors: “No….no….”

Sienna starts to look up in the ring. She then looks down.

Majors: “Don’t disqualify her.”

Constantine turns and goes over to her and Majors grabs him by the pants, using them to start to pull herself up.

Majors: “She can beat me…or I’ll beat her…but I’m not taking a DQ.”

Constantine looks around.

Majors: “Please!”

We then cut to the ring where Swann nails Jordan with the Kiss of an Angel. We see a cover.

Majors shoots her shoulder up. We then cut to see Swann hitting a second Kiss of an Angel.

Sharper: “A second Kiss…no…”

Sienna leans back on her.

The crowd boos and the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Sienna Swann!”

Sharper: “And look at Sienna Swann, despite Jordan Majors’ gusty attempt to fight back after everything. To even demand a clear winner. You can call it foolish, but you can see how personal it was. She didn’t want the easy win. She didn’t want Sienna to have an excuse!”

Knots: “Sienna is overjoyed. Almost euphoric.”

Sienna gets up and walks to the middle of the ring. Constantine walks over and raises her arm. The crowd boos some more as “Fallen Angel” plays throughout the arena.

“The 2020 Match of the Year…Sienna Swann vs. Jordan Majors, Rise to Greatness XVII.”

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

The scene opens up at ringside to see CHBK and Adam Sharper at the announce position.

Sharper: “A hell of a match and this year was one of some great competitive matches. Arguably more depth than there has even been on the roster.”

CHBK: “Sure. But you know who is at the top and it’s not Bree Lancaster as she said earlier. It’s Syren. It’s Syren, its’ Infamous and they’re going to prove it.”

Sharper: “I’m not surprised by that evaluation. We should also extend a congratulations to the End of the Year Open Invitational Winner VIHAAN and-“

Just then, CHBK is grabbed from the side as the crowd erupts in cheers to see James Evans grabbing him and pulling him over the announce table. CHBK rolls over and hits the mat. James then grabs him and pulls him up and throwing him side first into the ring apron.

Sharper: “James Evans! From the crowd! Attacking CHBK!”

James grabs CHBK and rolls him into the ring. James turns and grabs a microphone from Phillips and rolls into the ring. He gets up as CHBK starts to stir, but James grabs him and knees him in the ribs before gutwrenching him up and driving him down with a powerbomb. CHBK rolls over in pain, holding his lower back. James then grabs the microphone again.

James: “Alright, CHBK…time for us to have a little chat.”

The crowd roars.

James: “See, I don’t give a fuck about your little contracts or agreements. You assume I play by your rules!”

The crowd cheers.

James: “But I don’t. And Syren put me on the shelf. She cost me the World Title. I don’t like that. And well…here we are.”

James smirks and drops down to his knees, looking at CHBK as he holds his back in pain.

James: “So…now we play by MY rules….”

James stomps CHBK in the face. CHBK rolls over. He stomps him again and then grabs him by the legs and pulls him back. He lifts them up as we see Syren running out from the back. A few strides behind is Alexander Crowe. Ravyn Taylor slowly walks out too.

James: “You may want to stop there Syren!”

James looks up as Syren stops.

James: “See, I remember a few things from the last year and one of them is that for some reason you respect this old piece of shit.”

James smirks.

James: “So…how much do you? Because I know you have your pathetic plan to get back to the World Title. Hard for CHBK to file the contracts if he doesn’t know where he is, right?”

Syren steps up and Crowe stops her.

James: “So here’s what’s going to happen…”

James then starts to drag CHBK over to the rope and steps through. He pulls CHBK through, keeping his eyes on Syren.

James: “You’re going finally show you actually are what fake persona you are…you’re going to show you have some courage. Because you have a choice…I have a problem. Either you can pay for what you did or I’ll accept payment in kind?”

Syren yells out.

Syren: “You tried to injure me first, jackass!”

Crowe stops her. James just smiles. Syren freezes a bit from this.

James: “I tried to injure you first and I regret that I never succeeded. Still pulling the same crap you were a year ago. Just a different coat of paint. Now, are you going to step up and pay or will I be accepting payment in kind?”

Syren looks at the ring and then yells out “Fine! I’ll give you your match!”

James smiles.

James: “No…no…I don’t want you to agree to it…I want YOU, CHBK, to agree to it.”

CHBK looks up and James holds him.

James: “Because I need you to know that this is one thing you will not slither out of it.”

CHBK looks at James and nods.

James: “Good…and you’ll agree to any stipulation, right?”

CHBK looks down.

James: “Don’t worry. This is one you can protect her from…”

CHBK looks up as Syren keeps trying to head over.

James: “Renege on this and I’ll do much worse…Because you’ll be my down payment!”

James then shoves CHBK back into the ring. James drops down to the floor. Syren runs to the ring and slides in. CHBK rolls over, wincing in pain, as Crowe runs after James. James just calmly walks over to the barricade and steps over and enters the crowd. He then heads through it as Crowe stands at the barricade. Ravyn Taylor reaches the ring and watches Syren checking on CHBK and Crowe watching James.

Sharper: “What does that mean? Down payment? He just got CHBK to agree to a match between James Evans and Syren…”

CHBK winces as Syren gets up and watches James as he continues to walk through the crowd. The scene fades to black.

We see the sun shining before showing a shot of palm trees, people gathered on a beach, and shots of Syren walking down the street with Ravyn Taylor. This is followed by a shot of Kelcey Wallace talking with Owen Cruze and Peyton Rice. Regan Street can be seen walking along the pier with David Helms. Sienna Swann is seen standing on a balcony with Chris Cannon walking out and wrapping his arms around her waist. We see overhead shots of the Los Angeles skyline before cutting to shots of the Hollywood sign and then Kandis driving down the street in a convertible with Tommy Valentine smirking. We cut to see a behind-the-scenes shot of a boom camera rising up and showing a shot of Shaun Cruze talking to Kennedy Street. Dylan Howell then then shown running on set and waving as the camera angle changes to the boom camera as the scene starts to pull away before zooming out and showing the Rise to Greatness XVIII logo.

“Los Angeles, California

Rise to Greatness XVIII, July 25, 2021”

The scene reopens to the stage to see Jonathan Knots on the stage.

Knots: “Well 2020 didn’t end without at least one more happy moment.”

Knots shrugs.

Knots: “Maybe we’ll have two more!”

The crowd roars.

Knots: “But before we have our main event, the World Title, interim World Title on the line, we need to crown the 2020 Male Wrestler of the Year!”

Knots holds up the final envelope. He then opens it up and slides out the card looking at it.

Knots: “And your 2020 Male Wrestler of the Year…David Helms!”

The crowd cheers.

"BANG!"

As the crowd react, the entire stage lights up with a brilliant white light and the opening riff of an SCW remixed version of "All I Want" by A Day To Remember hits the pa system. The crowd erupt into cheers again as they spot the silhouette of David Helms standing there, his arms held aloft and his hands throwing the Self High Five, all framed by the brilliant white light behind him.

“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”

The intro gives way to the chorus and the lyrics of said chorus flash up on the screen as Helms suddenly jumps into the air and breaks his hands apart, pyrotechnics exploding on either side of the stage as he lands and the house lights raise again as Helms walks over to the podium, proudly holding his SCW World Championship. He nods, saying something to Knots before Knots hands him the trophy. Helms looks at it and looks around before stepping up to the microphone. The crowd cheers as his music fades out.

Helms: “Well…”

Helms smirks.

Helms: “I guess I had a pretty good return, huh?”

Helms chuckles a bit under his breath.

Helms: “In all seriousness, this is a moment I never thought I’d enjoy. This year was a dream in so many ways. A year where personally, professionally, so much went right. Sure, I was injured, but this year, watching my wife stand tall completing her career long goal…finishing that same night doing something I had never done, main eventing Rise to Greatness, after having won the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal…”

Helms pauses a moment.

Helms: “And I’m not done yet.”

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Helms: “I will face one of two people at Last Grasp of Reality. Either someone who wants to prove Rise to Greatness was a fluke…the Best Female Wrestler of 2020. Or someone who was named the Star of Tomorrow and someone I’ve watched, trained with, seen develop into the legitimate future of this business.”

Helms looks at the award.

Helms: “I’m going to enjoy this. Thank you!”

The crowd cheers.

Helms: “Now, if you excuse me, a seat has opened up at ringside and I think maybe I may just take it to see who I’ll face over this title at Last Grasp of Reality! BANG!”

Helms’ music plays as he continues to head to the ring, taking his trophy and title belt.

Knots: “Well as Helms heads to the ring, let’s take a look at the history between Jordan Majors and Bree Lancaster before they face for the interim World Championship!”

A recap video plays showing the history between Jordan Majors and Bree Lancaster.

The scene opens up at ringside to see David Helms sitting next to Adam Sharper.

Sharper: “Welcome back to ringside. Adam Sharper here with David Helms it seems.”

Helms: “Hope you don’t mind. It was open, I mean…”

Sharper: “Some would say you’re an improvement over my previous partner tonight. So I’ll take it.”

Helms: “Sounds good to me!”

Jordan Majors vs. Bree Lancaster

SCW Interim World Champion

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

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

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a sixty minute time limit and is for the SCW interim World Championship. First, the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois, she is Jordan Majors!”

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

Sharper: “Jordan Majors had a hell of a year. Former Adrenaline Champion. A rivalry with Sienna Swann. She’s coming off a victory over Syren and she and Cookie Dreams look to be the favourites in the Tag League. She could end the year as interim World Champion.”

Helms: “It’s been great watching her come into her own. She just needed the confidence to step out on her own and tonight, it could all pay off.”

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}

As the heavy music of Imagine Dragons kicks in the lights come back up and Bree Lancaster is standing on the stage, a white robe over her gear and her arms spread wide. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her. The crowd boos heavily. Lancaster holds the SCW interim World Championship over her shoulder.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Scott Burnside, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is the reigning and defending interim SCW World 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 the World Title, before going to the corner. She removes the robe and hands it off as her music fades. She hands off the title to Aaron Demitra, the official for the match. He holds it over his head as Bree turns and says something to David before turning back. The SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster made sure the world knew. Tonight, she’s going to win. She’s going to then move on to face you on January 24.”

Helms: “We’ll see about that. She knows as well as anyone just how good Jordan is. I know they’ve not gotten along. There’s a personal connection. Anything with Sienna Swann becomes that. But she needs to focus on Jordan. Not me.”

Demitra hands off the title and steps back to the middle of the ring. He looks at Jordan. Jordan nods before turning to Bree. Bree smirks and nods. He then calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd roars as Bree and Jordan step out from their corners. They walk over to the middle of the ring and lock up in the middle with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Jordan gets the advantage, pushing Bree back into her corner. The crowd roars as Jordan gets her back and pushes back.

Jordan steps off and Bree allows her, with a clean break. Jordan backs up and Bree looks at her as Jordan steps back to the middle of the ring. She nods as she looks at the crowd. They cheer for her, supporting her. Bree walks out and the two watch one another before locking-up again. They push back on one another and Jordan turns and moves into an arm wrench. She holds on and jerks on the arm. Bree winces and Jordan wrenches the arm again.

Sharper: “Jordan right now may be laser focused and Bree maybe hoping Jordan would be a bit intimidated.”

Helms: “After facing Sienna and Syren, she’s been ready for this. She’s made her year by facing the best.”

Bree winces and somersaults forward before nipping up and then hitting a leg trip. She goes for the pin.

Jordan kicks out. Both get up and Bree hits a headlock takedown. Jordan counters with a headscissors. Bree nips out. Both get up and Jordan hits a headlock takedown. Bree hits.

Sharper: “Bree caught Jordan Majors there.”

Helms: “A bit of a chat there with the eyes.”

Sharper: “Surprisingly Bree didn’t go for the leg immediately, focusing on it.”

Helms: “Maybe trying to get Jordan to put some doubt in. She’s got the Tag League still. Bree too.”

Bree forearms her in the jaw again and Jordan falls to the ropes. Bree turns and whips her across. Jordan bounces off and Bree runs forward and forearms her down. Jordan hits the mat. She starts to get up and Bree walks over and hooks her up and snapmares her over. She then elbows her in the top of the head. Jordan rolls over. She holds her head and slowly gets up.

Jordan whips Bree across. Bree hits the opposite corner and Jordan runs after and nails her with a clothesline. Bree stumbles out and Jordan shoves her down and goes for the pin.

Bree kicks out. She rolls off and gets up. Bree turns and starts to get up and Jordan clubs her in the back and then again before kicking her in the ribs.

Sharper: “Another chance to go to the leg. Bree holds off and instead punishing the body.”

Helms: “I think she’s hoping to just throw Jordan off. We’ve seen in the past that some people can fight through the pain and we know Majors will keep fighting.”

Sharper: “Fair point. She wouldn’t stay down at all against Sienna all summer. Bree would’ve watched those closely.”

Jordan stirs and Bree pushes her back down and hits an elbow drop. She goes for the pin.
