“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:

The scene opens up with a shot of a podium. We then see Katya walking up to it before the image changes to show Sasha walking up to it.

Katya: “You know that I represent opportunity.”

We see shots of Marie Jones smiling before showing Casterillo attacking Damian Angel.

Sasha: “You know I stand for what’s right.”

Shots of Owen Cruze, Chris Cannon and Kennedy Street standing in the ring follow.

Katya: “My sister has had her chance, but let’s face it, fresh blood is needed.”

Syren as World Champion is shown, before cutting to Ravyn Taylor as the Adrenaline Champion, and Kandis and Scarlet Grey standing in the ring, celebrating a win.

Sasha: “She’s doing it for the wrong reasons. There’s no real aim here except to make herself feel better.”

Sienna Swann standing with the Beauty Factory before showing Regan Street getting attacked by Xander Valentine. Shots of Datura and Alexis Quinne fending off the Network follow.

Katya: “We’re going to remove any obstacles from those who deserve it. People will get what they deserve. Dark Fantasy, Marie Jones, so many others!”

Dark Fantasy, CHBK and Katya are shown on the screen.

Sasha: “People already are getting what they earn. We need fewer people who feel they are owed the world!”

Bree Lancaster rolling her eyes are shown, before we see Selena Frost hitting a hurricanrana on Bree Lancaster, before cutting to shots of Andrew Raynes glaring, and then showing the Beauty Factory with the Network standing around.

Sasha: “Let’s let people show what they do best. Compete in the ring. Fresh starts are on the table, but not because they were gifted by my sister.”

Cassidy Carter dancing on her way to the ring, before showing her attacking CHBK, before we cut to see Aaron Blackbourne standing in the ring with Liane Forte celebrating. Sasha is shown at the podium.

Katya: “Don’t worry…I’ll set things right. As I see fit. And tonight, SCW can make sure of it.”

Sasha switches to Katya as she looks down at the camera before the scene fades to black.

“When the Seasons Change” by Five Finger Death Punch plays as the Making Things Right logo comes up on the screen.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling Presents Making Things Right!”

The logo remains on the screen for a moment before we open up inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out from the entrance way and into the air. The pyro display goes off for a few moments before spotlights circle the arena. The crowd cheers as the cameras pan across the crowd before cutting to the roofed cage hanging over the ring.

Sharper: “On a night where the future of SCW will be determined and the roofed cage returns, SCW returns to pay per view for the first time in 2019!”

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd before cutting to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots. Tonight, a big night to say the least.”

Knots: “Where to start. Four titles on the line. But we’re going to see six, maybe seven matches that could determine the future. Who is going to run SCW for the next four weeks? Sasha or Katya? Six matches to determine that. Must be a winner in every one. And if we’re tied at the end, it all comes down to the World Title. Syren wins the title, Katya’s in charge. If not, we’re saved!”

Sharper: “Not just that, the roofed cage will see the US Championship on the line. Selena Frost using her Trios Tournament contract to get this match, but if she loses, she’s not getting another shot.”

Knots: “Time for Selena to put up or shut up and trust me, I hope she puts up and shuts up Bree Lancaster!”

Sharper: “Datura will face Regan Street. Much more to come, but let’s kick things off! Two women who want to get into the ring with Ravyn Taylor, a queue is forming, and these two women head the very top of it.”

Christy Matthews vs. Abigail Lindsay

All eyes focus on the ring, inside stands Jason Phillips and with him in hand is his trusty mic. He shows off his pearly whites to the cameras and takes center stage.

Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a twenty-minute time limit!!”

The fans roar.

Phillips: “Introducing first, she hails from Los Angeles, CA and weighs in tonight at one-hundred and thirty-eight pounds. Being accompanied to the ring by Christopher Richter, she is CHRISTY MATTHEWS!!!

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

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

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

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

Sharper: “Christy looks primed and ready for this tonight, she isn’t going to let Abigail Lindsay take her shot at Ravyn first.”

Knots: “Abigail though is no stranger to fights, and this one will most definitely be one.”

A loud purrrrrrrrrring engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of "Wreak Havoc" by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Abigail Lindsay.

Phillips From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at one hundred and fifty-five pounds, Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay.

She places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her helmet. She hops on the apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg off, then drops down in a full split. she slides under the bottom rope. She slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start. The two women in the ring look across from each other.

Sharper: “These two seem more alike than either would care to admit, both sitting in the corner.”

Knots: “It’s true, both want to face Ravyn for two very different reasons. Abigail Lindsay wanting to match wits while Christy just wants to kick her face in.”

The bell sounds and the SCW fans roar with both women still sitting in their respective corners. Richter on the outside says something to Christy who pulls herself up with the ropes, immediately Abigail does the same, almost mirroring her in a way. Christy Matthews and Abigail begin to circle each other. Lindsay with a smirk on her face while Christy looks unimpressed, the two meet in the middle of the ring with Christy jaw jacking to Abigail who just listens. Christy is telling her she is going to face Ravyn first, it’s what’s owed to her. Matthews then throws a right-hand catching Abigail by surprise, she hits another before sending Abi to the ropes. Lindsay makes the return and ducks the clothesline attempt, she spins on her heels to face Matthews, but she was ready for it and spins back herself driving savate kick to the gut of Abigail Lindsay who drops to a knee.

Sharper: “Abigail moments ago just listening to Matthews tell her she is going to get Ravyn first, then got the wind knocked out of her.”

Knots: “We all know how stiff those kicks are of Matthews, trained in a variety of martial arts. She has one of the hardest, so I’ve been told.”

Abigail winces, Christy on the other hand hits the ropes quickly and looks for a running knee to the side of Abigail’s head, but Lindsay stands up and avoids the strike. Christy turning around into a forearm shot from one half of Lohan Country. Lindsay hits one more and herself sends Matthews this time into the corner with an Irish whip. Matthews however stops herself with a foot on the second turnbuckle, Lindsay runs at Matthews, but she had that scouted next and catches Lindsay with a rear elbow. Abigail holds her face and stumbles back a few, Matthews now steps up onto the second turnbuckle and leaps back with a springboard roundhouse kick taking Lindsay off her feet entirely. The crowd ooohs while again Lindsay holds her face on the mat and Christy covers.

1… KICK OUT BY LINDSAY!

Sharper: “Another shot to the face from Matthews, but I think the cover there was more of a message to Abigail.”

We see Matthews on her knees already and looking down at Abi with intent, she then quickly drops an elbow to the face of Abigail before mounting and grabbing a hold of her hair and firing off forearm shot after forearm shot. A few fans start to boo which doesn’t bother Matthews, what does is the referee forcing her to get off Lindsay who rolls away holding her face while Christy paces back and forth a lil way away. The official says something else to Christy, but she pushes past him and goes back on the attack with a kick to the back of Abigail who immediately rolls out of the ring now to create some separation between her and Matthews. But that doesn’t last long with Christy chasing after her only for Abigail to roll back into the ring. Outside Christy yells at her before getting gback into the ring giving chase, but Abi exits the ring from another side with a small laugh now. Christy looks at the official and demands she gets back into the ring. He asks but Abi merely looks at Christy and motions for her to come get her to a roar from the crowd.

Sharper: “Abi now making sure she has her fun, but angering Christy isn’t the right way to go about it surely?”

Knots: “She’s already in her head, look at how aggressive she’s been. Abi wants to prove she can play the games just as good as Ravyn.”

Christy composes herself but shakes that off and quickly runs to the apron and slides out. Abigail slides back into the ring to a loud Cheer form the crowd. Christy hells at one fan to shut up before turning and kicking the bike of Abigail’s over to boos from the crowd. The jovial look on Lindsay’s face suddenly shifts while Christy now points at the bike with a smirk on her face. She turns around to the ring, but Abigail has hit the ropes and dives through and connects with a tope elbow that sends Matthews stumbling back and causes her to fall over the bike.

Sharper: “Never touch a woman’s motorcycle is what we learned tonight.”

Knots: “Don’t ignore the shots to her money maker either, Adam.”

Christy rolls off the bike and gets up only to be grabbed by Abigail now and dragged towards the apron where her face is slammed into it. She hits another one on Matthews before dragging her across the mats and sending her into the steps with an Irish whip. Richter starts to walk around but is intercepted by the official who warns him from the ring. Abigail turns to look at Richter and gives a little wave, but that was a mistake with Christy driving an elbow into the gut of Lindsay and follows that up with a knee to the face that sends one half of the former tag team champions stumbling back and leaning against the apron. Matthews immediately delivers a chop to the chest of Abigail which gets a resounding “WOOOO” From this Los Angeles crowd! Christy smirks and spits on her hand before hitting another chop and another which starts to get a support from some of the fans. Matthews goes for one final chop to the chest, but Lindsay ducks under it and spins through. Christy turns around and gets a poke to the eye from the Lohan sister which gets another roar from the crowd.

Sharper: “The crowd seemingly liking that, I don’t approve of it but then I’m only calling the match.”

Knots: “She isn’t afraid to doing it she knows Ravyn isn’t it and I think that’s who this is aimed at more than anyone.”

Christy pushes Abigail away but Lindsay grabs her by the hair and rolls her into the ring. She then pulls herself onto the apron and slingshots over the rope and catches Matthews before driving her into the canvas with a DDT! The crowd “oooh”s and then roars when she follows up with a cover after rolling Matthews away from the ropes.

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY MATTHEWS!!

The crowd sighs but Kindsay doesn’t let it get the better of her, she goes back on the attack now after mounting Matthews and throwing shots like she did earlier in the match. The official once again after a short spree gets involved and separates Lindsay from Christy who now rolls away and starts to pull herself up using the referee for assistance. He tries to get her off, Abigail walks over to assist but is kicked in the gut once again. Pushing the ref aside now Matthews again hits a running knee on Abigail, she then applies a rear waistlock and throws her over with a german suplex, adding a bridge for a pin fall attempt.

1…

2… NO KICK OUT BY LINDSAY!!

The crowd roars with Lindsay kicking out, on the outside Richter is hitting the canvas trying to motivate Matthews further who is getting back to her feet. Lindsay however rolls towards the ropes and holds the back of her neck. Christy notices and immediately runs over and drops a knee to the back of her neck, she holds the ropes and keeps the knee on the neck of Abigail with a sneer now while she kicks out aimlessly. The referee is immediately there telling her to get off, but Christy isn’t listening, so he begins the five count.

1…

Sharper: “There is no need for this!”

2…

Knots: “It’s part of the course! She’s not only sending a message to Lindsay, but it’s also one to Ravyn as well! These two should be friends, not enemies right now.”

3…

4… Christy steps up removing her knee but not without leaping in the air and stomping the back of her neck one last time. The SCW fans boo loudly now while Christy saunters back with a hint of arrogance about her. The referee checks on Abigail to see if she is alright and at first it looks like she isn’t, but Lindsay nods and begins to get to her feet gingerly while in clear pain. Christy motions for her to come at her which Abigail does, she runs at Matthews. A clothesline attempt is ducked by Lindsay who stops right behind Matthews who turns around only to get a Pele kick for her trouble. She stumbles back towards the ropes from the shot, Abigail gingerly getting up again holding the back of her neck.

Sharper: “The neck giving Abigail issues there now.”

Knots: “It’s not fun, that spot is the blight to many a wrestler’s career, easily injured. Look at Cannon after he was piledriven by Mason.”

Sharper: “One of the many reasons that move is banned.”

Christy looks to go back on the offensive and runs across and pulls Lindsay up who breaks hold of her grip and hits a European Uppercut. Lindsay hits another and one more before getting a slap to the face from Matthews. She begins to throw a multitude of shots at Lindsay who attempts to block but then sudden counters with one of her own. The two start to throw European uppercuts at each other repeatedly, with Lindsay pushing Christy back who runs the ropes and takes her down with a running European Uppercut. The Fans “Ohhh” from the impact. Some cheer Christy looks down and says something to Abigail. Matthews then leans down to pull her up, but Lindsay grabs hold of her arm and locks in the Memento Mori!!!

Sharper: “MEMENTO MORI?! THAT’S RAVYNS MOVE!!”

The fans roar loudly with the Triangle Choke hold Ravyn is famous for using being locked in on Christy by Abigail Lindsay. Christy is waving her arm wilding now trying to get free of the hold but it’s apparently that she has it locked in tightly. Christy’s arm begins to slow down before dropping, the official checks Christy and immediately calls for the bell and when it sounds, Abigail Lindsay releases the hold. Wreak Havoc hits over the P.A System, the SCW fans erupt when the official helps Abigail up and raises her arm in the air before going back to check on Christy who is now holding her throat.

Knots: “WOW! What a message from Lindsay, that was for Ravyn it HAD to be!!”

Sharper: “I agree Jon, Christy was especially aggressive tonight a little more than usual but that had to be because she wanted the match with Ravyn.”

Knots: “Well that goes to Abigail Lindsay, she gets to face Ravyn and battle the wits like she wanted. But it’s like they say be careful what you wish for.”

Sharper: “Couldn’t agree more, Ravyn is a handful no matter who you are or how smart you THINK you are.”

The camera shot is that of Lindsay one last time who has now exited the ring with a grin on her face, ring crew is bring the bike with them while she looks out to the crowd. Inside the ring however we see Christy sat on the canvas now holding her throat still with Richter giving her some words of encouragement. She just has her eyes locked onto Abigail however like the rest as SCW’s cameras move away from ringside.

Backstage we see a locker room with Syren, Ravyn Taylor, Alexander Crowe and CHBK in the back. Up closer to the front of the room, we see Kandis, Scarlet Grey, Ruby Amarant, Marie Jones and Kimberly Williams, who keeps glancing at Ravyn. Along with them, Xander Valentine is in the room, as are Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson. We then see Katya walk into the room and step up in front of the group.

Katya: “Alright…are you ready? Tonight’s the night you can have what you’ve wanted. All you need to do is win. It’s that simple. You win, and you get opportunity. The World Title shots.”

We see Marie smile.

Katya: “Other opportunities. Impact. Spotlight. Stability. I’ve spoken to you all personally. I don’t think I need to say what’s at stake. Win, you control your destiny, as you will mine. Lose…I can’t guarantee my sister won’t prove to just be vengeful. She’s done it in the past. Even doing so now. So…go out there and win what you’ve always wanted!”

CHBK starts to applaud. Xander glances over, but Ravyn, Syren, Alexander follow as do everyone else except Kim, who watches Marie, who smiles and applauds. We then cut back to the ring.

Casterillo vs. Damian Angel

Balance of Power Match (0 – Katya; 0 – Sasha)

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the titantron. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine. The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes.

Sharper: “Our next match is nothing short of a grudge. Casterillo taking on Damian Angel in a rematch from a few weeks ago.”

Knots: “Damian Angel picked up the win last go round. Something tells me Casterillo will be looking to tear Damian’s head off. More importantly, he will be looking to right the wrong of Kali getting involved last time.”

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song .During the opening verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp with Harr Megiddo , inciting a mixed reaction from the crowd. He looks at the crowd, ...

Sharper: “Damian Angel, the former SCW World Champion, flanked by Har Megiddo…Oh wait, what is this…”

Officials race out from the back and begin telling Damian that Har Megiddo has to return to the back. All three members jaw with officials for a few moments, before Damian sighs and shakes his head. He simply nods as officials lead Har Megiddo to the back. Damian turns and smirks before heading to the ring. Damian gets into the ring and Casterillo immediately attacks, landing punches, backing Damian into the corner.

Knots: “Casterillo not giving Damian Angel any room.”

Sharper: “Casterillo attacking Damian before the opening bell, hammering away. Damian trying to cover up, but I’m not sure it’s doing any good.”

The ref backs Casterillo away from Damian, creating some distance. Casterillo refrains, long enough for the ref to call for the bell. Casterillo charges at Damian. Damian side steps, causing Casterillo to stumble. Damian then lands a kick to the back of Casterillo’s leg. Damian lands another kick to the same leg, staggering Casterillo.

Damian goes to whip Casterillo across the ring, but Casterillo stops, grabs Damian and pulls him into a spinning back elbow. Casterillo then hooks Damian, lifts him up before planting Damian with a powerbomb in the middle of the ring. Casterillo goes for a cover.

Damian kicks out.

Sharper: “Casterillo with the first pin fall of the match. He is taking the fight right to Damian Angel.”

Casterillo gets to his feet and grabs Damian, lifting him off of the mat, but Damian fires away with a European uppercut, followed by a dropkick, and a second dropkick, taking the big man off of his feet.

Knots: “TIMBER!!!”

Damian grabs hold of Casterillo’s leg, applying a leg wrench. Casterillo immediately tries reaching for the ropes.

Sharper: “Damian Angel, trying to slow the pace down a little bit, locking in a leg wrench.”

Knots: “You have to give the Devil his due. Taking out the legs of a much bigger opponent is definitely a smart strategy.”

Casterillo is shown once again reaching for the ropes, slowly pulling himself closer. Damian wrenches down more, applying more pressure. Casterillo shakes his head no as the ref checks in on him. Casterillo continues to pull towards the ropes.

Sharper: “Casterillo using his upper body strength to get himself to the ropes, hopefully to break this hold. You just have to wonder what it will take out of him.”

Casterillo finally makes it to the ropes, but Damian maintains the hold. The ref begins the count.

Damian releases the hold and backs away. Casterillo grabs at his leg for a few moments before rolling over onto his hands and knees. Damian charges and delivers a stiff kick to the ribs. Casterillo rolls over onto his back, holding his ribs after the impact. Damian grabs Casterillo off of the mat, hooking him before lifting him up and driving him to the mat with a brainbuster. Damian then hooks the leg.

Casterillo kicks out. Damian gets to his feet then ascends to the top rope. He stands up, looking to be preparing for a moonsault, only to turn just in time to see Casterillo rolling out of the ring to the floor.

Sharper: “Damian Angel with a brainbuster before going to the top, more than likely looking to go for the Martyr Syndrome.”

Knots: “Casterillo did the smart thing and got out of dodge.”

Damian drops down off of the top rope as Casterillo is shown digging underneath the ring. Damian slides out just as Casterillo stands up, holding a steel the chair. The ref slides out of the ring and gets in between Casterillo and Damian.

Sharper: “Casterillo trying to bring a chair into the mix, but the referee isn’t having it.”

The ref threatens to the disqualify Casterillo before he hands over the chair. The ref takes the chair and charges out of the way. Damian charges, just as Casterillo removes a hammer from the front of his pants. Casterillo connects with a shot to the head of Damian. Damian crumples to the floor as Casterillo tosses the hammer underneath the ring. Casterillo towers over Damian, grinning sadistically.

Knots: “And Casterillo just rang the Devil’s bell.”

Sharper: “Casterillo used that chair as a set up. He was looking to truly leave a mark on Damian here tonight.”

Casterillo grabs Damian and rolls him into the ring, following him. Damian is shown grabbing at his forehead, as Casterillo gets to his feet, grabbing Damian off of the mat before hooking him and planting him with Holy Water.

Sharper: “Holy Water by Casterillo. This has to be it.”

Casterillo hooks the leg.

The crowd begins to boo as Casterillo is shown just glaring at Damian as Casterillo slowly rises to his feet. Casterillo smirks at Damian before rolling out of the ring and heading to the back.

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

Sharper: “Damn it! Katya gets the first win.”

Knots: “With Casterillo sending a message to Damian Angel too. Talk about not taking any prisoners!”

Casterillo heads to the back.

Backstage, we open up to see a shot of Jessica Winters standing with Sasha D. backstage in her room.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here with Sasha, and Sasha, not a good start for your hopes. Obviously, it’s early, but does this have you concerned about how things will go.”

Sasha: “It’s one match as you said. One match where Casterillo needed to take liberties. Just making it clear what this night will be. It’s going to be a hard fought war between people accepting two different visions. But I see people like Konrad Raab, Owen Cruze, Aaron Blackbourne…if this was all about opportunity, those are all people who have been busting their ass and they have their opportunity tonight. They don’t need to pledge their allegiance to my sister. We don’t need to have those rah-rah moments and-“

Just then, the door opens and Lexy Chapel walks into the room.

Lexy: “I’m sorry, Jessica, but you really shouldn’t be doing this interview. I’m the top interviewer-“

Jessica: “Are you serious? Lexy-“

Lexy: “Just saying. When Katya takes over, and she will, I’ll make sure we get the best out of these interviews. Give talent an opportunity to show off.”

Sasha: “Lexy…I’m not talent. I’m potentially the person who will be running the show. And all I see from you is an arrogant, preening, spotlight-demanding…well, I’ll let you fill in the rest. And you can believe what you want about Katya…the night is young and I know the talent standing up on my side…they’ve got more to fight for than Katya has.”

Lexy rolls her eyes.

Sasha: “Now get out of my office.”

Lexy: “Who? Me?”

Sasha and Jessica together: “Yes!”

Lexy: “Rude!”

Lexy turns and heads off as Sasha and Jessica shake their heads and we cut away.

Autumn Valentine vs. Konrad Raab

Balance of Power Match (1 – Katya; 0 – Sasha)

"Cold as Ice" by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck.

Phillips: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. From Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!"

Konrad heads down the ramp and high fives the fans as he goes. As soon as he gets to the ring, he goes to the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle. Everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle. Konrad does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he turns to the entranceway, waiting for his opponent to arrive. Konrad can be seen snarling as he waits for Autumn.

Sharper: "This is one of the balance of power matches. Konrad being one of Sasha's picks. And Autumn Valentine on the side of Katya."

Knots: "I wouldn't trust Autumn as far as I can throw her."

Sharper: "Konrad will definitely have to have his head on a swivel, especially with Ryan Watson out here."

The lights dim slightly and the spotlights point down at the stage as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard across the PA system.

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

"Miss Nothing" by The Pretty Reckless begins playing across the PA system as the fans boo. After a few seconds Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage with a smile on her face, standing in the middle of the spotlights for a moment before spinning around and holding out her arms downward, revealing the words “DARK FANTASY” on the back of her ring jacket.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Autumn spins back around, seemingly enjoying the negative crowd reaction. She stands for a moment before looking back over her shoulder. The fans booing gets louder as she’s joined on the stage by Ryan Watson. Watson holds her hand as the two of them head to the ring. Once at ringside Autumn jumps up on the ring entrance as Ryan pulls himself up using the bottom rope. He then stands and holds down the middle rope for her to enter. The fans boo louder as Autumn now ascends the ropes in the corner, standing on the middle rope once again soaking in their reaction. She flips back out of the corner, spinning around and landing on her feet. She then removes her jacket, handing it to Ryan who remains on the apron. Ryan jumps down, holding onto her jacket as Autumn walks to the corner, sitting down in the corner and talking with her manager at ringside as he stands outside the ring. Konrad eyeballs the both of them the entire time, until Autumn stands up and turns to face her opponent. She smirks at him, which just seems to incense Konrad. The referee backs up and calls for the bell to begin the match.

Sharper: “Konrad not wasting any time at all! Sending a message! Sasha’s side looking to win!”

Konrad runs and dives right into Autumn, knocking her off her feet immediately with a spear. This grabs Ryan Watson's attention immediately as he hops back up on the ring apron, looking genuinely concerned for his companion.

Knots: “He got all of that!”

Sharper: “Clearly he just wanted to open this match with a statement! Autumn is on Katya's side tonight, and Konrad must believe that he won't be receiving any near-future chances at championships if Katya is in charge.”

Knots: “Do you blame him? With her vengeful she’s been?!”

Konrad starts to get up but then begins to hammer away on Autumn. The referee starts counting.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Konrad stops before the 5 count, finally realizing that he needs to control his emotions. He fully gets back up and grabs Autumn by an arm and whips her across the ring. Autumn's back hits a corner post and Konrad immediately clotheslines her, Autumn's legs going up into the air a little. Konrad pulls her out of the corner and applies an armbar. Ryan drops back down to ringside, but is looking very anxious. Konrad wrenches it in more and more and Autumn drops to one knee. After a few moments Autumn does her absolute best to reach around and finally is able to gain a little bit of leverage. Konrad is forced to let go of the armbar submission. Autumn whips around and gets back to her feet. Konrad however sees her coming and delivers an elbow that finds its mark, that being Autumn's jaw. Autumn backs up, now getting angry herself. She throws herself right at Konrad, hitting a flying forearm smash. Konrad however absorbs the blow and returns a forearm smash of his own that sends Autumn teetering back in the opposite direction. Konrad does not let her get away though, but instead grabs her and hoists her up for a German Suplex. Autumn is thrown by Konrad halfway across the ring, and she lands with a thud. Ryan races to that side of the ring and pulls Autumn out to safety, as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Konrad is firing on all cylinders tonight, here to make Sasha proud, and making it really seem that he wants to be on the winning side. Autumn really has had no answer early in this one.”

Knots: “No she hasn’t. And I’m okay with that. Konrad Raab is on the right side in this one!”

The ringside camera can clearly pick up Ryan asking Autumn if she is okay, to which she replies "Yeah". Autumn slides back into the ring and stands up, telling the referee to keep Konrad backed up. The referee does step in between the two of them, but only for a few seconds before allowing them to continue.

Konrad stands there just ready to throw punches, as Autumn keeps her distance, now circling Konrad before ascending to the top of a corner turnbuckle. Konrad follows her and scales the ropes as well. He goes to grab her head, possibly looking for a flying neck breaker, but Autumn surprises him by slipping through his attempt by moving just a bit left over more onto the top rope than on the turnbuckle. She quickly uses her legs and wraps them around Konrad's head. Clearly though she is struggling with doing what she wants to do, but shifts herself a bit more and is finally able to deliver a breathtaking flying head scissors, forcing the two off the ropes and right back into the ring. Konrad lays on his back, stunned.

Sharper: "Like her, or not, this is Autumn's first opening in this match-up."

Knots: "She knows how to take advantage of it too."

Autumn doesn't look the best herself but turns partially around and drapes herself across Konrad. The referee counts.

Konrad kicks out pretty easily with his legs, jousting Autumn off of him. After a few seconds both of them begin to slowly get to their feet. Autumn is first fully up. She positions herself behind where Konrad is slowly standing and waits until just the right time. The crowd is booing and some are yelling at Konrad to turn around, but when he does, he runs right into a perfectly placed Cartwheel Kick! The crowd really boos now as Ryan Watson claps his hands at ringside, looking a bit more at ease now that Autumn has found her opening.

Konrad begins to get up again, but gets curb stomped back down to the mat right on the top of the head by Autumn. Autumn now goes off, much like how Konrad did near the opening of the match. Autumn stomps repeatedly which leads to the referee starting a 5 count.

The referee almost says 5, but Autumn backs up, breathing hard. She holds her arms up and again waits for Konrad to rise. He does just enough and Autumn nails him with a step-up enzuigiri. She does not catch it flush though. Konrad rolls over on the mat but comes right back up to his feet. Autumn backs up a step and Konrad seems to not think as he leaps into the air, going for a frog splash. Autumn moves out of the way and Konrad looks like he might crash and burn, but again he rolls through, right up to Autumn. He reaches out and grabs her face, getting her with a double knee face breaker, which prompts Ryan Watson to roll into the ring and get right in front of Konrad's face.

Ryan shouts an obscenity but the referee immediately begins to shove Ryan out of the ring. While he's busy with Ryan, Autumn is down on the mat recovering. Konrad reaches down to grab for her, but she kicks up with her right leg, right into the family jewels!!! The crowd ohs and boos like crazy.

Sharper: "Talk about unnecessary!!! Come on now!"

Knots: "Watson paying dividends as usual. Low blow and the referee didn't see it. He has no clue."

Ryan rolls out of the ring, throwing his arms up into the air, as the crowd boos right at him. He just shakes his head. Autumn gets up now in the ring and ascends to the nearest top rope. She immediately flies with a split-legged moonsault, landing right on top of Konrad. In smooth motion, she reaches back and hooks a leg for a cover.

Thr-

Konrad kicks out with his one free leg and moves his right shoulder just barely off the mat. The crowd cheers. Autumn gets off of him and with Konrad still down, she goes back to the well known as the top rope again. This time she steadies herself and goes to hit the Nightfall, but as she comes down with both feet, Konrad rolls out of the way and Autumn feet don't hit the mat solid, thus she slips down to the canvas.

Sharper: "A mistake from Autumn and she's down in an awkward way."

Konrad gets to his feet. Autumn is out of sorts and goes to begin to get to hers, but is grabbed by Konrad's right hand. He lifts her up, and even though he's wincing from the low blow he received not long ago, plants her quite hard with the Iceinator. Autumn's back bounces off the canvas some. Konrad holds her legs in place as the referee drops for the fall.

1!

3!!!

The bell rings and even Ryan Watson looks shocked on the outside. Konrad sneers over at him and then down at Autumn.

Phillips: "Here is your winner of the match... Konrad Raab!"

The referee raises Konrad's arm, even though he has chosen to stay down on the mat, looking right between Ryan and Autumn. Konrad looks like he is about to do something else to Autumn, but then backs away and just kicks Autumn a bit towards the bottom rope. Konrad then stands up and then rolls out of the ring, leaving Ryan to collect Autumn.

Sharper: "Konrad with the win for Sasha!"

Knots: “And we don’t need to deal with the wicked witch if that continues! It’s all even!”

Sharper: “But just the start. Even at one. Four more matches and the World Title if necessary!”

Konrad takes one last look at Ryan and Autumn before throwing up his arms and clapping a few of the fans' hands on his way back up the entrance ramp.

Backstage, the camera pans across a table covered with sealed champagne bottles. We then hear some racket before Ace Marshall walks in and lets out a cheer. Cassidy Carter walks over and throws her bags down.

Ace: “Totally ready for this one. Got all of the bubbly here.”

Cassidy: “Did you really need that much? I mean after we drink three or four of them, we’re finding a bar to do tequila shots off college guys, right.”

Ace: “Hey! I was told, I could by four or twenty five. I was saving money. And trust me, there’s going to be a party when you walk out the World Champion.”

Cassidy: “Well duh. But again…college guys.”

Ace turns to Cassidy.

Ace: “Fine. But only if there are college girls!”

Cassidy: “Are you winning the World Title tonight?”

Ace: “Well in spirit! I’m definitely in tight with the person who is.”

Cassidy: “Damn right you better be. And I say college guys.”

Ace: “Fine…I’ll start moving some of these out here. Maybe there are poor elderly wrestlers who could use it. You know, for their black eye.”

Cassidy: “Whoa, whoa. Don’t be rash. I didn’t say we couldn’t keep them. Just may not get through them all tonight!”

Ace: “Well then!”

Ace turns and grabs one of the bottles and twists off the top.

Cassidy: “Twist-offs. The classy stuff.”

Ace: “Damn right. We gonna party like champeens!”

Ace starts to drink from the bottle as we cut away.

SCW Adrenaline Championship Contendership Battle Royal

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

“The Real Thing” plays throughout the arena as Katie video plays on the screen. The crowd jumps to their feet giving her her usual pop. After a few moments Katie walks out on the stage wearing her glorious white and gold ring robe.

Phillips: “The following contest is the ten person battle royal to determine the next challenger to the SCW Adrenaline Championship. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by TJ Johnson, from Los Angeles, California, the Goddess of Desire, Katie Steward!”

The crowd roars as Katie slowly walks across the stage to the ramp with TJ Johnson in toe and he is running his mouth hyping Katie up to the crowd. Katie stands at the top of the stage and does her pose for the crowd. After a few seconds of the sending her their love she continues her way down the entrance way.

Sharper: “Katie Steward in the city she calls home could start 2019 with a big win for herself and her family, earning a title shot.”

Knots: “And with Maddy and Gigi being a target for Katya, maybe some reason for hope beyond hoping Sasha can win out tonight!”

The screech of a vulture is heard over the loud speaker before the opening guitar riff of Stitched Up Hearts' "Is This The Way To Hell" comes shredding through. The fans start to anticipate who is going be walking through the curtain. A pair of strobe lights situated on the left and right side of the stage start to flash. The one on the light is purple in color while the one on the right is white, but the pair are flashing alternatively to give the illusion that they are custom cop car lights.

A spotlight focuses on the center of the stage where Crissy is standing with both of her arms raised in the air. She's wearing nearly complete black wrestling attire with the exception of purple accents. As she just stands there listening to the fans cheer her she starts to bring down her arms and she starts loosening up her wrists. Crissy starts to make her way down to the ring shadow boxing along the way.

Phillips: “Next, from New York City, New York, Crissy Gardner!”

Sharper: “Crissy Gardner and Sam Raine may have their attention on the Tag Team Championship, but this is a huge chance for both. Both are in this and both have shown some desire to hold this title.”

The lights go down and flash red and purple as "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry starts. Jordan steps out as the beat drops with a long, floor-length jacket on and looks out at the crowd.

Phillips: “From Chicago, Illinois, Jordan Majors!”

She bobs her head with the music for a moment before the lights slowly fade back to normal and she makes her way to the ring.

Sharper: “This is one woman I will be curious to see how she does. Impressive at the End of the Year Special. And certainly dangerous.”

Knots: “Maybe more this time. She just needs to get them up and over. And she’s shown an ability to knock people out!”

KANE!

MAX!

KANE!

"Suck My Kiss" then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to his knees on the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max yells at the camera before he stands on his feet. Max looks around the crowd as he immediately extends his arms out to the crowd. Max then walks to the middle of the ramp and storms down the ring.

Max: “They tried to put me down but...they can't do it. Take nine, give out ten. F them all.”

Phillips: “Next, from San Francisco, California, the Rock and Roll Unicorn, Max Kane!”

Sharper: “Max Kane, this seems in one sense, perfect for him. The Adrenaline Division is made for him.”

Knots: “Yeah, but the over the top rope rule is not! At least he won’t need to worry about the Network in this one.”

“Confident” by Demi Lovato echoes from the loud speaker. Dawn Lohan pushes her way through the curtain. She stands in front of the entrance way, she takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the crowd.

Phillips: “From San Diego, California, Dawn Lohan!”

As the music is coursing through the arena she knows she can't delay the inevitable. She slowly makes her down to the ring, all business.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan with a tough loss to Tommy Valentine on Breakdown. Not the TV Champion as a result.”

Knots: “Could make all of that a distant memory tonight though as she sets out on her own here.”

The arena’s lights cut and as the room falls into complete and utter darkness a buzz starts to spread through the crowd. It feels like a lifetime that the lights are off before they start to flash in a sequence that resembles lightening. Another moment passes and as the sound of rain fills the air while white and blue confetti starts falling on both sides of the entrance way. The sound of the rain is broken up momentarily as the voice of Samantha Raine is head saying…

“Raining on your parade.”

As the crowd start to react, the sounds of Firefly's “Unbreakable” starts to play through the arena. The crowd just further erupts in to cheers as the small silhouette of Samantha makes her way on to the stage, but she isn’t alone. There is another silhouette behind her clapping his heads. Sam steps out followed by Woody Hoyt. They look around as Sam Raine starts to head to the ring.

Philips: “Making her way to the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, accompanied to the ring by Woody Hoyt, she is Samantha Raine!”

Sharper: “Crissy in there. Sam has an ally. But she’d love to get a shot at the Adrenaline Title.”

Knots: “Only two allies in there. So you wonder if they’ve figured something out.”

"Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift

The opening chords of Look What You Made Me Do begin to play. Kimberly Williams steps out onto the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans.

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

A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it.

Sharper: “Maybe the X-Factor in the whole thing. She wants the shot. But she’s allies with, at least for now, the current champion.”

Knots: “Is it bad I want her to win it and then cause chaos?”

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

Phillips: “Next, from San Francisco, California, Pint Sized Awesomeness, Alexis Quinne!”

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne won’t be worrying about Datura yet. She can focus on herself.”

Knots: “And looking to get some gold after some time away from it.”

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

THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN

NOW!

Two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits.

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

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start reaction, booing and cheering. The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp as he looks out into the audience, holding his TV Championship. He stops and smiles a little before heading to the ring.

Phillips: “From Raleigh, North Carolina, the SCW Television Champion, Tommy Valentine!”

We cut to a shot of Dawn Lohan.

Sharper: “Tommy could be looking to add some more gold. At the same time, Dawn Lohan may be targeting him to get a bit of an evening up of their stats against one another.”

Knots: “We’ll see. His aggressiveness could be a big advantage too!”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. After a moment, we begin to hear what sounds like thousands of clocks all ticking in a manner that seems like none of them are in sync with one another. On the Tron, what looks like the faint image of a clock hand in motion makes its way along the black background as a large countdown occurs in the center, starting from 10. With every number that slowly ticks down, a silver silhouette of a competitor in the battle royal fades into existence below the numbers. With the fans counting along, the countdown finally reaches zero, and the entire Tron is then enveloped in a flash of white before slowly a familiar black silhouette fades into being. From out of nowhere, this silhouette suddenly produces a scythe and slashes the scene in half.

The haunting sounds of “10 Inch Nails” by Audiomachine begin to play as the clock ticking slowly dies away, the slashed picture on the Tron falling away to reveal clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations, the most notable difference being that the silhouettes of ticking clocks are present along the edges of these clips. Through the smoke that has begun to envelop the stage, we see a hooded figure slowly walking through it, carrying a large scythe with him. As he reaches the edge of the stage, lights of a bluish-white hue come on to reveal the face beneath the hood as the one and only creative soul himself as his eyes slowly scan over the awestruck audience. Tonight he appears to have foregone his usual tights in favor of long vinyl pants that are a dark purple in color and look like they have the silhouettes of clock gears designed all over. It can be presumed that he has his normal knee pads and the kick pads to his boots in beneath. The purple hooded cape he wears has a clock gear serving as its clip. He still has his arm sleeves, tonight being purple in color and bearing the design of clock silhouettes on them. Even the scythe he brings with him is unique, looking similar to the traditional scythe of the grim reaper except for the staff being an intricate black and purple design and the tip being adorned with what looks like a stopwatch. We also see the paint that adorns his body this evening: the front of his body having what looks like a grandfather clock painted onto it while the back has a more traditional clock with the words "Time's Up" revolving around it in several different languages. There's even what looks like a jagged scar painted onto his face that goes through his left eye, which is when one might also notice the vivid red colored contacts he's also wearing on this night

Phillips: “And finally, from Seattle, Washington, Aaron Blackbourne!”

Blackbourne slowly begins to head towards the ring, calmly taking his time as he eyes the competitors present that will soon stand against him while noting the impressive reaction of the fans around him. When he reaches ringside he pauses for a moment before standing the scythe in front of him and slamming his hand down on the stopwatch's button, which suddenly causes white spotlights to rapidly begin flickering in random locations around the ringside area, almost as though they were commanded to both turn on and speed up as well. Leaving the scythe to be attended to by one of the ringside production guys, he suddenly leaps onto the apron and quickly climbs so that he’s got one foot on the top turnbuckle, arms raised an outstretched as the spotlights suddenly converge upon him while still rapidly flickering, though the calm expression doesn't change on his facial features. Blackbourne carefully climbs down into the ring as the lights now return to normal, unclipping his hooded cape and handing it off as he eyes the field surrounding him, knowing that Zeitgeist was more ready to battle than anyone may believe just from looking at him.

Sharper: “And Aaron Blackbourne unleashing his creative side yet again. Tonight, looking to obtain a shot at the Adrenaline Championship!”

Knots: “Not getting derailed by Scarlet. He wants to make sure he takes advantage of his return to the big stages. He was not even getting booked at times because of the Scarlet situation!”

Aaron looks around as we go to a wide shot. Officials are on the floor as the bell sounds.

Sharper: “Here we go. Ten individuals all fighting for a chance to earn an Adrenaline Championship match!”

Aaron turns and nails Tommy with a hard shot as Sam and Crissy run over and both kick Katie in the ribs. Sam spins her into the corner and Crissy follows up, kicking at her. Quinne nails Dawn as Dawn fires back with a forearm back. Kane then clubs Majors in the back and then nails her with a forearm shot. Kim shrugs and then runs over and nails Crissy in the back. She kicks Sam in the ribs before nailing Crissy again. Crissy stumbles back as Dawn and Quinne keep trading blows. Kane clubs Majors again and then again before running into the ropes. He bounces off and Majors goes for a clothesline. Kane ducks and jumps to the top rope and dives back with a crossbody onto Dawn and Quinne. He rolls through. The crowd roars. Majors then turns and Katie grabs Sam and forearms her as Sam chops her. Kim grabs Crissy, but Major kicks her in the ribs and nails her. Aaron grabs Tommy and runs him into the corner, but Tommy blocks it and elbows him in the ribs before dropping down with a drop toe hold, driving Aaron into the middle turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Tommy takes down Aaron, as Kim Williams finding out how dangerous Jordan Majors, the newcomer is.”

Knots: “Sam and Katie going at it. Crissy in the corner as Kane decided to just take everyone out. Nearly got himself eliminated too. Someone just had to push the idiot.”

Majors pulls Kim out and hits a short-arm clothesline before we see Andrew Raynes walking out from the back, holding a steel chair. The crowd boos loudly as Raynes storms to the ring, jawjacking and yelling at everyone in the ring. He then runs down and slides in.

Sharper: “What the hell is Raynes doing here? And he’s got a chair.”

Knots: “He’s not booked. He’s pissed off. And this could be bad for everyone.”

Sharper: “Get him out of here!”

Knots: “You try!”

Raynes then turns and one of the officials tries to stop him, but he boots him down before Raynes rolls into the ring. He gets up and Kane turns and Raynes nails him in the ribs with the end of the chair before turning and booting Dawn in the face. Dawn goes down as Tommy turns and sees Raynes and goes over and Raynes nails him in the ribs with the chair. He then turns and nails Sam in the back. Sam falls over to the ropes as Katie grabs her. Kane stirs and Raynes nails him in the head, Kane just getting his hands up, but Kane goes up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “My God! Kane nailed by Raynes. He’s up and over.”

Knots: “Asking for a fine too.”

Sharper: “He doesn’t care. He probably annoyed he’s not booked and they all are! I don’t know. All I know is he’s an angry man and one who needs to be gotten out of there.”

Raynes turns as Quinne kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a hard right and then another. She then turns and grabs at the chair of Raynes and tries to pull it, but Raynes holds on and then manages to turn and spin, causing Quinne to lose her balance and Raynes lifts the chair up enough for Quinne to go up and over the top rope to the floor.

Sharper: “Quinne’s out as Raynes just stronger!”

Knots: “Whoever is in charge is going to have to deal with this. Some angry people in this one!”

The crowd boos as Katie steps out and Raynes turns and kicks her in the ribs. He then turns and Kim throws Crissy at him and Raynes moves out of the way. Crissy spears Aaron down as he stirs and Crissy slowly gets up. Kim then drops down, flat on her back, glancing over at Raynes as Raynes turns and sees Dawn. Dawn slowly gets up as Sam turns and Raynes swings at her. Sam ducks and spins around. Kim watches out of the corner of her eye. Sam kicks Raynes in the ribs. Raynes drops the chair and Sam kicks him in the ribs and then again. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and then goes up and hits a headscissors into an armbar. Raynes yells in pain as Sam holds him, hoping someone else will get involved. Crissy starts to get up and runs over and spears Raynes down. The crowd roars. Sam lets go and rolls through. Dawn turns and winces as Katie walks along the apron and then Jordan Majors sees a moment and runs over and grabs Sam from behind and throws her up and over the top rope. The crowd ohs and roars before some boo. Sam rolls through to the floor wincing in pain. Dawn then turns and grabs Andrew and slowly pulls him up as Crissy turns and goes for Jordan.

Sharper: “Jordan Majors taking advantage. She doesn’t seem to care how. She wants to win.”

Knots: “Do you blame her? Why not? But controversy all over this one!”

Crissy nails Jordan with a hard forearm and then another. She grabs her and whips her into the corner. Aaron then gets up and Katie forearms him and Aaron responds by kneeing her in the ribs. Kim meanwhile watches as Dawn tries to get Andrew into the corner and kicks him in the ribs. Tommy turns and Kim rakes his eyes. Kim then turns and sees the chair. She shrugs and walks over to it. She grabs it and then turns as Jordan rakes Crissy’s eyes and then sees Dawn and runs over and nails her in the head with a forearm. She then hoists her and hits a back suplex. Jordan Majors then rolls out and away from Andrew Raynes who just looks at her. Kim grabs the chair and turns to Tommy who suddenly jumps up and spins around with a tornado DDT. The crowd ohs and Kim drops the chair.

Sharper: “Dawn was working over Andrew to get him out, but Jordan Majors helping Raynes!”

Knots: “Clearly she’s benefiting from Andrew’s involvement. Kim had a chair, but Tommy stopped that!”

Sharper: “Kim likely saw the chair and she’s got no problem bending the rules. She beats to her own drum.”

Raynes then smirks as he grabs Dawn and Dawn starts to get up and Raynes pulls her up before driving her into the back with a DDT. He turns and grabs at the steel chair and Tommy starts to get up and just then, we see Aaron Blackbourne run out and nail Raynes with the Unchained Creativity. Raynes stumbles back and to the ropes before Tommy runs over and nails him with the Knee Deep, knocking Raynes up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd erupts in cheers. Tommy turn sand looks at him as Aaron turns too. We then see officials, who have come from the back, start to get around him. Raynes rolls over, holding his jaw as he’s surrounded.

Sharper: “Aaron and Tommy making sure Raynes won’t forget that. Both drilling him with respective knees and Raynes to the floor and hopefully gone!”

Knots: “Yeah, but damage has been done! He took out Quinne and Kane and left a lot of others down.”

Dawn rolls over and Jordan Majors kicks at Katie in the ribs as Kim stirs. Crissy looks around as Aaron turns to her. Tommy then does too before Aaron goes over to Crissy, but Tommy grabs Aaron by the hair and pulls him back with a mat slam. Crissy nails Tommy with a forearm and then another before running into the ropes. She bounces off and Tommy scoops her up as Crissy goes for a running bulldog, but Tommy turns and throws her up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs and boos. Tommy then turns around as Jordan hits a dropkick out of the corner. The crowd boos. Andrew Raynes is restrained and taken out as he yells at everyone and anyone he can. Katie looks on as Jordan turns around and sees Dawn. She smirks and grabs Dawn and pulls her up, but Dawn manages to hit a flapjack into the top turnbuckle. Jordan falls back to the mat. Dawn then starts to get up and steps forward, but we then see Katie lunge and nails Dawn with the Most Beautiful Superkick Ever and Dawn goes up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Dawn, just too much. From Andrew, from Jordan, from then Katie with that superkick.”

Knots: “Not the best start. Back to back disappointments!”

Sharper: “At least we’re focusing now on those in the ring.”

Tommy starts to get up and Katie turns around as Kim turns and nails Jordan with a forearm shot and then another. Aaron gets up too and Tommy runs at Katie and spears her in the corner. He spears her again and then grabs her and goes to whip her across, and Katie hits the corner. Aaron then runs over and nails Tommy from behind. Tommy turns around and Aaron hoists him up and hits the Pull the Trigger. Tommy falls into the ropes and Aaron gets up and clotheslines him up and over. The crowd roars as Tommy is eliminated. Aaron turns around and Katie then runs out and hits a running bulldog. Aaron rolls over. Jordan meanwhile blocks a few shots from Kim and Kim grabs her and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Kim goes to grab her. Jordan slides through her legs. Kim steps forward. Jordan gets up and hits a jawbreaker. Kim falls over. Jordan then gets up and Katie starts to turn around and Jordan hits a jumping enziguri kick to the head. The crowd roars. Katie falls over to the ropes.

Sharper: “Andrew may be gone, but the chaos remains as Jordan Majors now in control. Third match in SCW and could walk away with a title match.”

Knots: “Just has to get through three others!”

Jordan then turns as Kim grabs the steel chair Andrew had, and still was in the ring, and Jordan turns around and grabs Katie before turning and Kim turns and slams the chair into Jordan’s back. The crowd ohs and Jordan falls over to her knees. Kim then grabs Jordan and lifts her up before turning and throwing her up and over the top rope to the floor. Jordan tries to hold on, but falls to the floor. Kim then turns and shrugs.

Sharper: “Kim using the chair Raynes brought in.”

Knots: “See! He’s here in spirit!”

She turns then around as Aaron scoops her up and hits a ribbreaker. Kim rolls over in pain. Katie grabs at the ropes. She then looks back and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and dives back with a praying moonsault on Aaron. The crowd roars as all three are down.

Sharper: “Katie taking down Aaron. Going from the second rope. A risk, but a calculated one.”

Knots: “But now someone better think fast!”

Katie starts to get up as Kim holds her side. Katie grabs at the ropes and gets up. Aaron slowly stirs and Katie jumps up and dropkicks him down. She turns and walks over to Kim and hits a Russian leg sweep. She turns and then looks at both. She turns and sees Aaron getting up and kicks him in the ribs and double underhooks him. The crowd roars. Aaron however fights out and takes Katie down with a double leg takedown before lifting her up her legs and falling back with a catapult, but Kim gets up and pulls the top rope down and Katie hits the ropes and goes up and over to the floor. The crowd roars and Kim turns to Aaron as Aaron turns to her.

Sharper: “Up and over! Katie couldn’t hold on and Kim and Aaron together make sure they’re the final two.”

Knots: “Both got their reasons they want it and more than just the extra money and the accolades!”

Sharper: “Kim wants a shot as noted on Breakdown. A backup plan maybe for later. Aaron, good friends with Owen, but on top of that, a big opportunity to get back on track after his issues with Scarlet Grey!”

Kim and Aaron look at one another and Aaron lunges with a forearm shot. Kim takes it and falls to the ropes. Aaron walks over and goes for a clothesline. Kim ducks and spins around and pulls Aaron down with a school boy, before pushing him through and hitting a dropkick to the face. Aaron rolls over. She gets up and Aaron turns and walks into Morrigan’s Wrath. The crowd ohs. Kim turns and falls to the ropes. She then turns around and starts to pull Aaron up.

Kim: “Come on! I didn’t hit you that hard!”

Kim slowly pulls Aaron up and drags him to the ropes. She then turns and reaches into her top and turns to the crowd.

Kim: “Okay! Fifty bucks to whoever can toss this asshole over the top! Who wants it?”

Kim turns and looks at the officials before turning to the crowd.

Kim: “Phillips?! Knots?!”

Sharper: “Guess Aaron is a bit heavier…”

Knots: “Or Kim is having some fun. I don’t get up for anything less than a hundred though.”

Kim shrugs and turns and clubs Aaron in the back and then again and again. She then kicks him in the ribs. She turns around. Kim hands Aaron the fifty, placing it in his mouth. Kim then motions for him to jump over. Kim shrugs and backs up and goes for the Morrigan’s Wrath again, but Aaron ducks and spins around. Kim stops at the ropes. Aaron turns and goes to nail her, but Kim gets a knee up. Aaron stumbles back. Kim turns and runs at him, but Aaron hoists her up onto his shoulders and hits the Pull the Trigger. Kim hits the mat. The crowd roars. Kim starts to get up and grabs at the ropes. Aaron turns and runs into the ropes, he bounces off and lunges, jumping up and hitting the Unchained Creativity and Kim turns and goes up and over the top rope, landing on the floor. The crowd cheers as Aaron falls back to the middle of the ring and kneels down in it. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and number one contender to the SCW Adrenaline Championship, Aaron Blackbourne!”

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne getting through nine others. Ten if you include Andrew Raynes and now will face either Owen Cruze or Ravyn Taylor for the Adrenaline Championship at a later date!”

Knots: “Back in title contention. Moving on from Scarlet. Good start to the year for Aaron Blackbourne!”

Sharper: “And Kim will need to wait longer if she wants a shot at SCW gold!”

Aaron Blackbourne slowly gets up as Kim holds her jaw and rolls over to the barricade. She winces as she looks up. One of the officials comes over to check on her and Kim pulls another fifty out of her top and hands it to the official. The referee just drops it. Kim points to it as Aaron Blackbourne gets up and holds his arms in the air. The crowd cheers as he looks around and listens to the roar of the crowd. The camera remains on him for a few moments longer before we cut away.

Backstage, we open up to see Sienna Swann getting ready for her match, laying out her gear as we hear a knock at the door. LEO walks over and opens it and he then backs up. Ikiro Yoshida comes into view. The crowd boos some more.

Ikiro: “Sienna…”

Sienna turns and smiles.

Sienna: “Ikiro.”

Sienna then kisses him on the cheek.

Sienna: “Ready for what you need to do tonight.”

Ikiro: “Oh definitely. I will make sure that you are happy. And make sure no one stops you from retaining the World Championship.

Paris: “We damn sure are going to too.”

The camera turns to show Paris and London with LEO between them.

LEO: “And you know who else is behind you.”

Sienna smiles as Laura Steinbeck smiles off to the side.

Sienna: “Looks like tonight is going to be a good night. Get rid of Cassidy and crush Syren’s dreams.”

Sienna smiles as the crowd gives a mixed reaction and we cut away.

Manvel vs. Derek Adonis

The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis!

And there he is! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every color of the rainbow alongside Cookie, the man’s outfit radiates light against a few blacklights slipped in, and he is completely oblivious to his detractors, basking in the glow of the spotlight as he begins his sensual stride towards the ring.

If you’re so inclined, you should check out the lyrics to the song that Adonis is entering to, because they really paint their own tapestry almost as well as the man himself is able to, stopping at various points on his walk down towards the ring to hit on some of the more attractive females in the area – without caring about the potential of boyfriends, husbands or security. He’ll take their hand, whisper sweet nothings to them (and, if you’ve seen girls at shows put in this kind of embarrassing situation, these do the same as all of them – and just laugh) and plant his lips ever so gently upon said hand before moving farther down the ramp.

As the chorus comes around, Adonis steps up the ramp, taking each step with added emphasis. He gets onto the apron and after winking at a particularly friendly female (probably the most receptive to advances of earlier), pulls himself through the ropes. He gyrates just a little bit in the ring (it’s better than his twerking – trust me) as Cookie claps and his music fades.

Sharper: “Here is the former Television Champion and the man who was betrayed by his best friend and tag partner. It is a very emotional moment for Derek Adonis, he is all smiles but deep inside, he’s hurting along with Cookie.”

Knots: “Manvel was tired of Adonis taking the spotlight, let’s be honest here, Sharper, Adonis career has skyrocketed, becoming a legit threat even with KABLAMAsutra, it’s exploded, even I use ….”

Sharper: “Maybe I should ask Kenn….”

Knots: “Stop trying to put words in my mouth, Adonis is going to face a new Manvel tonight.”

“Behind 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 greaser wrestler who wears more body oil than a 2-pound Chicken Fryer.

Manvel hops around excited as he gets a loud sound of boos. He laughs a little, stops midway to the ring before trying to calm the crowd down. He then points to the entranceway as Scott Burnside walks out, the crowd boos even louder as both Adonis and Cookie look on surprised….

Sharper: “Scott Burnside!? Is he now the manager of Manvel!? What is he doing out here!?”

Knots: “Manvel wearing those new pink and yellow tights, that is a Scott Burnside exclusive, he’s probably his Image Consultant!”

Scott joins him as they slap hands, both laughing before heading toward the apron, Manvel slides into the ring literally and gets up, he poses and hops on to the second turnbuckle as the crowd boos as he simply brushes them away hopping back down and starts to talk to Scott while showing off his MANLy abs and Mantastic physique….

Waiting for the match to start….

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Scott Burnside! He hails from South Beach, Miami Florida! Weighing in at 220 lbs… he is the “Mantastic, Manvelous and Mantacular”…. Manvel!”

He poses as the crowd boos. Adonis stares right at him, almost shaking in anger and disappointment almost mocking his former friend and tag team partner….

Sharper: “This is heartbreaking for Derek Adonis, they were best friends, they were tag team partners and Manvel is making a mockery of this to his former friend. Cookie too, she is just shocked that Burnside is now in Manvel’s corner.”

Knots: “It just shows that Manvel is serious about 2019, I’m not the biggest fan of Burnside either because of his ties to Bree, but he is now associated with Manvel and that alone already makes Manvel a legitimate threat.”

The referee checks on both wrestlers before calling for the bell. Adonis circles the ring, Manvel does the same as they go to lock up but Manvel steps away and poses to the crowd. Adonis stands there shaking his head as Manvel against struts in the ring and poses in front of Adonis. Derek looks at Cookie who also is disappointed and dejected. He stares at Manvel who poses again….

Derek asks him why…..

Manvel gets right up to his face….

“You’re a piece of trash that betrayed Manvel!”

Adonis lowers his head and closes his eyes, Manvel continues to taunt Adonis when suddenly he looks up at Manvel with a scowl and starts to unload rights into him. Scott looks petrified at the onslaught as Manvel falls into the ropes, he bounces back as Adonis runs him over, hitting the mats and rolling out of the ring as the crowd roars….

Sharper: “He’s had enough, and Adonis has finally responded to Manvel’s taunt, showing just how hurt he has been and now Manvel is scurrying!”

Knots: “Manvel was just posing for the fans, especially Cookie, she misses Manvel!”

Manvel paces around the ring as Scotty Burnside checks on him (1), the referee starts to the count, Manvel yells at the referee to stop the count (2) but to no avail. Adonis yells for him to come back in the ring but Manvel screams for him to get back (3). Manvel takes his time, squeezing the clock for what it is worth as Cookie keeps an eye on Manvel as he looks up at the ring (4). He yells at the referee to back up Adonis who opens the ropes for Manvel to get back in. (5) Manvel again paces, he stops and poses to the crowd that boo him, Scott claps. (6) Adonis finally had enough, he runs against the ropes and just as Manvel turns he hits him with a Suicide Dive, the crowd roars screaming KABLAM! KABLAM! KABLAM!

Sharper: “Man Mountain Air has just launched!”

Knots: “No way! We have flying elephants!?”

The crowd continues to cheer. (7) Scott shocked backs away, Adonis picks up the grease ball throws him back into the ring, he rolls in after him, bounces off the ropes and hits a flip over cannonball as the crowd roars, he goes for the cover….

Manvel Kicks Out!

Adonis picks up Manvel and throws him against the ropes, he bounces back delivering a thunderous powerslam, hooking the leg again for that cover…

Manvel Kicks Out!

Adonis keeps the pressure on him much to Cookie’s delight, Scott slams the mats screaming for Manvel to get some offense. Derek nails him with a few right hands, backing him up to the ropes, he then Irish Whips him again, ducking for a thunderous back drop when Manvel grabs Derek by the hair and slams the back of his head hard on the mats, he then walks around shaking his head and holding his back before running against the ropes and landing a solid knee right into the chest of Adonis, covers him for the pin….

Adonis Kicks Out!

Manvel looks at Cookie, he stands up and rubs his fingers against his abs. Manvel then starts to climb the top rope, Adonis slowly starting to get up….

Sharper: “Derek Adonis started fast but now he finds himself in a lot of trouble and I don’t know if he is thinking straight in this match, so much emotions with him and Cookie over Manvel, I never thought I would see this.”

Knots: “It’s a coming of your own story. Adonis in the last few years has become the darling if the SCW, a funny guy, the greatest literature in KABLAMAsutra, he has his own Aerobics, Manvel was the sidekick, he wants the spotlight now.”

Manvel waits for Adonis to get up, once he does, he springboards off and lands with a huge Flying Body Press on Adonis, hooking the leg for the cover….

1!

2!

Adonis Kicks Out!

Manvel shakes his head, looking at the referee and slapping his hand for a faster count. Manvel picks up Adonis by the hair, he slaps him a few times, disrespecting his former friend. He looks at Cookie and screams… “You Married This!?”. She stares at him wide-eyed while Scott Burnside cheers him on. Manvel backs up he points at hos feet signaling for the Mankick. He goes to dropkick Adonis when the Man Mountain steps the to the side. He finds himself facedown flat on the mat as Adonis drops on top of Manvel and starts to grind him, the crowd laugh and Roar as Manvel can’t escape, Scott looks terrified, Cookie is jumping up and down…..

Sharper: “Manvel getting a little KABLAMAsutra!”

Knots: “We are witnessing innocence lost, look at Scott, he’s jealous!”

Manvel screams to get out but Adonis continue. As he gets up Manvel rolls out of the way and tries to get out of the ring but Adonis grabs him by the ankles, he starts to pull him but Manvel hangs on to the ropes, he tries to pull him and finally the referee kicks Manvel’s arms as he flies back first on the mats, Burnside hops on the apron and screams at the referee, Cookie pulls him down as the crowd roars, she pushes Burnside to the floor mats, landing on his buttocks surprised that she even touched him. Adonis screams KABLAM! He runs against the ropes and delivers a huge splash as the crowd cheers and counts with the referee…

1!

3… No! Manvel gets a Shoulder up!

Sharper: “We all thought that would be it, Manvel kicking out and very impressive, we have not seen this side of him and Adonis wants this bad, he looks like he doesn’t want this to go on anymore.”

Knots: “Well yeah, look at Manvel, the longer this match goes, the more it favors Manvel, Adonis will run out of gas.”

Adonis looks stunned, the referee holds up two fingers signaling that it was only a two count. Adonis picks up Manvel, he goes to hoist him up for a vertical suplex, maybe leading into Oops, he has Manvel up but the greaser drops behind Adonis with momentum, Adonis turns around and Manvel kicks him in the gut, he applies a face lock and barrels him over with a huge suplex, the crowd is stunned as Manvel then quickly hops on the top rope with ease and delivers a Heat Seeker Elbow drop to the upper neck and chest of Adonis, he gets up, climbs the top rope again and this time hitting a flying leg drop, Cookie looks on in concern screaming for Adonis to get up as Manvel points to Scott and gives the nonchalant cover….

1!

2!

3…. No! Adonis Kicks Out!

Manvel’s eyes are ready to come out of their socket. He quickly turns Adonis around and applies the Damascus Clutch he calls the Human Mantipede, pulling back hard on Adonis who screams in pain, Manvel yells at the referee to ask him, he quickly screams no. The crowd starts to cheer as Scott is back up and pacing, slamming the mats and screaming for Adonis to quit, Cookie continues to encourage as the crowd yells for Adonis to fight back. Suddenly as he looks ready to tap, Adonis screams and gets to his knees, Manvel looks on in shock, Adonis starts to get up, Manvel still locked on his back, he stands up and runs backwards ramming Manvel into the turnbuckle. The crowd roars as Adonis, holding his back stumbles out from the corner, he sees Manvel in the corner hurting and points to the crowd and Cookie….

Screaming….

KABLAM!

Cookie jumps up and down in excitement, the crowd yells KABLAM at the same time all in unison….

Sharper: “Adonis is going to put this away! Here comes the KABLAM!”

Knots: “Manvel might just be a grease spot on the mats if he his this and…. Wait, what the hell is this!?’

Sharper: “What the hell!?”

A woman jumps from behind both Knots and Sharper, she is dressed in all black, she quickly heads over to Cookie who stops jumping up and down, looking like she had seen a ghost…. The words “Sis?” slip out of her mouth before the woman floors Cookie with a huge forearm, Cookie lands flat on her back when the woman jumps on her, she starts to pepper her with lefts and rights, this catches Adonis attention just enough for Manvel to come out of the turnbuckle and blatantly kick Derek Adonis in the genitals, the referee quickly calls for the bell as Adonis drops to the mats….

Phillips: “The referee has Disqualified Manvel, therefore the winner of the match…. Derek Adonis!”

Manvel starts to kick Derek some while he is on the mats, Scott Burnside rolls into the ring as does the woman, she walks up to Manvel and kisses him, rubbing his chest, Manvel points to Cookie….. “Why have a Cookie when I can have a Cupcake!”

Sharper: “I don’t know what just happened but this woman came out of the crowd and attacked Cookie, she looked like she had seen a ghost, saying “Sis”, is she her sister!?”

Knots: “I have no idea but Manvel called her Cupcake so I’m going to assume that is her name, I mean Kennie calls me muffin and….”

Sharper: “Really?

Knots: “… well yeah… I mean forget look, Manvel gave Adonis the low blow, he was in trouble, saw the opening and took advantage of it. Maybe this was the plan all along but this is far from over Sharper.”

Sharper: “We can both agree there.”

Cookie rolls into the ring hurt and crawls over to Adonis who is writhing in pain, Manvel rolls out of the ring with Scott Burnside and Cupcake, “Wanna B Ur Lovr” plays throughout the arena, Adonis eyes turn toward Manvel, staring him down as he laughs, Cupcake with a smirk on her face and Scott Burnside with a grin, Cookie, hurt and distraught continues to tend over to Adonis.

Backstage, we open up to see Jessica Winters standing with Chris Cannon at the SCW interview area. The crowd cheers seeing him.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and I’m with Chris Cannon. Score is tied in the balance of power and you’re going up against the newest addition to Katya’s ranks, Xander Valentine. In some ways though this match has become personal for you, thanks to comments Katya has made.”

Chris: “It’s definitely personal. I’ll admit I can’t get on Xander’s case for what he did. He got his stability that he’s wanted for months. But I can take issue with who he had to get it from. Selling himself further down the river for that. And I have no patience for Katya. Not after what she’s said about my family, all stemming from jealousy.”

Chris pauses.

Chris: “To start this year, I was reminded of what I can do in this ring. Kennedy may not be here, forced to be home because of her injury and Trinity’s actions on Breakdown. Owen, he’s got his own issues. But both, I’ll admit, when I was able to beat them, I remembered why everyone called me Superman and what I can do. So I’m going to go into that ring, and take out Katya’s Executioner and the balance of power is going to swing to where it needs to be for things to continue as they should!”

Chris turns and walks off as the crowd roars.

Jessica: “Let’s go to the ring.”

We cut back to ringside.

Xander Valentine vs. Chris Cannon

Balance of Power Match (1 – Katya; 1 – Sasha)

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening perfect world logo. We then hear a woman’s voice that sounds a lot like Kelcey Wallace over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to Prometheus by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him.

Phillips: “The following contest is a balance of power match, scheduled for onefall with a thirty minute time limit. First, from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, California, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd cheers for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist as the crowd continues to cheer.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon coming off a huge win a couple of weeks ago on Breakdown. Now he could be a big hero if he can take Xander Valentine out.”

Knots: “Good luck. Xander Valentine has every motivation in the world to keep Katya making decisions. He’s got a job. And that’s bad for everyone!”

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 "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 starts to hail down on him, but there is some cheers beneath. 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: “His opponent, from Rochester, New York, he is SCW’s Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

The song begins to fade out at this point. Xander is at the bottom of the ring steps. He stomps the bottom step several times before moving pass the steps towards the side of the ring. In a single bound, Xander leaps up onto the apron. He poses for a moment, stretching his shoulders as he continues to look into the ring. He raises his arm high into his air, as to promise victory. He garners another response from the crowd. He then enters the ring, ready to stand across his opponent and to greet him with the same somber stare as the ring before.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine focused on his task. Ready to fight here.”

Knots: “Chris better be ready. He’s part of the reason that the Network became so dominant as of late!”

Xander looks at Chris and the bell sounds. Chris steps out and watches Xander. Xander steps up and Chris then moves toward him. Xander and Chris lock-up and Xander and Chris push back on one another before Xander pulls Chris in and shoves him back. Chris rolls through. He slowly gets up. He looks at Xander and Xander just waits. Chris steps up and walks along the ropes before moving in and with another lock-up. They push back on one another. Xander then pushes forward before turning and lifting Chris up and hip throwing him over. Chris rolls over to the corner. Xander then steps forward and goes for a forearm shot. Chris ducks and spins around. He nails Xander with a hard right and then another and then a third. He moves in and climbs to the middle rope and nails Xander with a hard right and then another before Xander shoves him off. Chris hits the mat and rolls through.

Sharper: “Xander with just pure strength!”

Knots: “Chris needs to figure something out. Trying to just go after Xander is not going well!”

Chris gets up and steps forward and Xander nails him with a forearm shot. Chris hits the mat. He rolls over and turns and Xander knees him in the ribs. He then whips him into the ropes. Chris bounces off and Xander nails him with a clothesline. Chris rolls over, holding his jaw. He starts to get up and Xander grabs Chris and hoists him up and throws him forward into the corner. The crowd ohs and Xander nails him with a hard right and then a left shot to the ribs before nailing him with another hard right. He then grabs Chris and whips him across. Xander runs after and Chris gets a boot up. Xander staggers back and shakes it off before turning around and Chris sidesteps as he sends Xander chest first into the turnbuckle. Chris then rolls him up with a school boy.

Xander kicks out. Chris walks away. He then runs into the ropes. Xander gets up and Chris jumps up and hits a leg lariat.

Sharper: “Chris getting up there, catching Xander under the jaw and knocking the former World Champion and SCW Hall of Famer down.”

Knots: “Chris is going to fight. That’s for sure. He’s called Superman for a reason. Won’t give up.”

Xander starts to get up and Chris gets up and kicks Xander in the ribs. He then hooks Xander up and manages to hit a snap suplex. He floats over for a pin.

Sharper: “Xander with a boot. Chris running into it. Nothing he could do.”

Knots: “Brace himself? That’s about it. Any time you let the big man move you, you’re hoping for the best.”

Chris turns and slowly gets up and Peyton Rice can be seen watching the match backstage.

Sharper: “And you see Peyton Rice watching, one of Kelcey Wallace’s proteges.”

Knots: “Maybe watch something else.”

Xander pulls Chris up and elbows him in the back of the head. Chris falls to his head and knees. Xander pulls him up again and then scoops him up and slams him down. Chris turns and gets up and Xander boots him in the face again. Chris falls back into the corner. Xander walks over and grabs him. He whips him across and into the opposite corner. Xander runs after and Chris slingshots himself up and over, but Xander catches him on his shoulder. He turns and walks toward the middle of the ring, but Chris pushes off and spins around and into a reverse STO. The crowd ohs and Xander rolls over in pain.

Knots: “Great counter!”

Xander stirs, pulling himself up and he turns around and Chris nails him with a hard right. He nails him with another. Xander goes for a clothesline, but Chris ducks. Xander stops and turns around.

Chris gets his shoulder up. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Chris kicks out! Not yet willing to go into that night!”

Knots: “Xander’s going to be fine to keep going though.”

Xander turns and grabs Chris and drags him up, pulling him up by the hair and then knees him in the ribs and then again. He whips him into the ropes.

Knots: “But not just Chris! Going after Xander! He got his shots in on Chris. He’s looking to take out Xander though!”

Sharper: “And Xander is with Dark Fantasy! He could be a factor later in the World Title match!”

Knots: “Could be a factor now! The referee is down!”

Xander starts to get up and Ikiro turns and moves to the steel steps. He pulls the top part off and Xander gets up and boots him in the face. Ikiro falls over. Xander then walks over and grabs at him and pulls him up before Ikiro suddenly spews the green mist into the face of Xander. Xander turns away, swinging. Ikiro watches him and then pulls out his leg from under him. Xander falls and kicks at the steel steps with his left leg, but his right leg ends up on top of the bottom half of the steel steps. Ikiro turns and grabs the steel steps. He then staggers a bit before lifting them up and slamming them down on Xander’s right leg, sandwiching it between the steel.

Knots: “Green mist? We’ve never seen him do that!”

Sharper: “Did just there? Clearly had a plan in case Xander fought him, but now…no! The steel! The ankle! My God!”

Xander grimaces in pain and lets out a yell in agony as the official in the ring happens to look right at it and turns and calls for the bell. Chris staggers up and falls over as the crowd boos.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of a disqualification, here is your winner, Xander Valentine!”

The crowd boos and Ikiro smiles before stepping forward and stomping Xander in the face. He then turns to the ring as Chris falls to a knee and winces. We then see Kellen Jeffries and Konrad Raab to suddenly run out from the back. Ikiro turns and runs around the ring and hops onto the crowd. He turns and threatens a fan, by threatening to spew the green mist at them, before backing off and moving through the crowd.

Sharper: “Kellen Jeffries and Konrad Raab just a bit too late. And I guarantee it’s not because of Xander. They’re out here because Ikiro Yoshida has cost Sasha a match and maybe injured Xander Valentine!”

Knots: “The steel on the ankle. Xander in a lot of pain. Sienna Swann making sure something goes her way!”

Sharper: “So many damn threads to follow as everyone wants to be standing tall at the end of the night!”

Xander continues to grimace in pain. A few officials gather around him. Xander swings at one as Chris turns to the crowd. Kellen and Konrad stand at ringside as the scene slowly fades to black.

We see shots of Kennedy Street and Sienna Swann looking at one another, before cutting to a shot of Regan Street and Datura swinging chairs at one another, banging off their rivals’ chair. Following this, we see Abigail Lindsay diving onto the Truelove Twins.

“It’s one of the strongest emotions known to humanity…”

Andrew Raynes attacking Dylan Howell before cutting to a shot of Thirteen looking at Syren as Syren yells at them. Shots of Scarlet Grey trying to seduce Aaron Blackbourne follow.

“Along with love, hatred, and personal motivation, it may be also the most damaging…”

Selena Frost and Sienna Swann grappling in the middle of the ring is shown next before we cut to a shot of Justin Davis attacking Josh Hudson. CHBK and Jason Zero follow.

“They say that if you fight for it, you better dig two graves first…”

We see a shot of Max Kane diving onto the Network.

“It takes something from both.”

Blake Mason piledriving Chris Cannon is shown, before we cut to a shot of Bree Lancaster locking the Crescent Lock in on Amy Chastaine.

“It will take something yet again.”

Maniacal laughter is heard as the Retribution logo comes up on the screen.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents Retribution, on Sunday, March 10, only on pay per view!”

The scene fades to black.

Marie Jones vs. Giovanni Aries

Balance of Power Match (2 – Katya; 1 – Sasha)

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 boo loudly. The Tron shows images of her striking at her opponents with her finishing and signature moves as the lyrics of "Haunted" by Taylor Swift begin to flow through the arena. Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring to loud cheering from the fans. As for Marie herself, she can’t help but try to preach about the good Katya is doing for SCW to the jeering fans as she walks past them. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting another negative reaction from the crowd.

Sharper: “Marie Jones was one of the first outside of Dark Fantasy to align herself with Katya, and considering she’s had a World Title opportunity in that time span she has every reason to want her to remain in power.”

Knots: “It’s become clear just how desperate she is to no longer feel like she’s being held down, but in the process she’s also incurred the wrath of a very dangerous lunatic.”

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of the stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before he pulls out an LSD laced cigarette and lighter and proceeds to light up, taking a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring. While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ringside and looks out to the crowd and yells

"TONIGHT, THE LIZARD PRINCESS WILL BE NO MORE!!!"

He laughs hysterically before walking up the steps to the ring apron. He faces the crowd and hard camera as he throws his arms out making a cross while looking to the sky and slowly moves his left hand to his mouth takes a drag of his LSD laced cigarette and blowing smoke into the air before flipping backwards into the ring. He takes off the fur jacket before going over to his corner and setting everything aside.

Knots: “I don’t know if this guy fully realizes he’s fighting for Sasha tonight, but we know it’s clear he’s looking at this as a different war entirely.”

Sharper: “Gio has had his troubles with Marie since she aligned with Katya, including a victory Marie holds over him from before the End of the Year Special after she attacked him before the bell. Tonight could be his chance to not only get that win back, but strike a huge blow against Katya in the process.”

The bell rings and the two competitors slowly close the distance, glaring a hole through one another. Marie goes to lock up, but Aries ducks and slips behind her. She tries to go for a pele kick before he can do anything, but Aries moves and Marie hits nothing but air as she falls to the mat, but this is when he leaps and catches her between the eyes with a knee drop! Marie quickly rolls over to the ropes to try and force Gio to give her some space, but this just results in him bouncing off the ropes and baseball sliding into her to send her out of the ring entirely. Marie gets to her feet in front of the announce table, and Sharper and Knots quickly scatter as they see Aries bounce off the ropes again and charge full steam into a suicide dive through the ropes that sends Marie up and over the announce table!

Sharper: “Unlike the last time these two faced, this match has been all Aries right out of the gate as Marie’s now laying behind our table!”

Knots: “I guess this is a receipt to the attack she launched on him before the bell rang for that last encounter!”

Aries starts to move around the table, but pauses and swipes Knots’ headset as he quickly backs away from him. Giovanni puts it on for a moment as he grabs Marie and slowly brings her back to her feet.

Aries: “I know you can hear me, Lizard Princess. I hope you’re watching as I slay one of your generals and bring your reign of terror one step closer to its end!”

This is when he bounces Marie’s face off the table! She falls to the floor and slowly begins trying to crawl around the table to get back to the ring as Aries tosses the headset aside, sending Knots scrambling to pick it up while he pursues his prey. Marie manages to grab the ring apron and starts pulling herself up as Giovanni closes the distance, but he’s cut off when Marie thumbs him in the eye! He stumbles back as Jones pulls herself into the ring, urging the referee to count Aries out, but he’s quick to slide back in as well. Marie, in response, begins putting the boots to him.

Sharper: “Marie trying to fall back on bending the rules to put the brakes on Gio’s momentum.”

Knots: “Can you guys hear me? I want to be sure I’m still good to go and not broadcasting to the Wonderland now or something.”

Marie brings Aries to his feet and lands a couple of forearms to his face to stun him as he’s backed against the ropes before she irish whips him, catching him on the rebound with a dropkick. As a smile begins to cross her lips now that she’s in control, she proceeds to give him a receipt for the jumping knee drop from earlier! Aries clutches at his face as Marie turns her attention to the corner and starts ascending to the top rope while Giovanni begins to get back to his feet. Once he’s upright again, he ends up getting caught with a missile dropkick! Marie quickly scurries into a cover.

Just as the referee’s making the two count, Aries kicks out! Marie is undeterred as she backs up, measuring him as he starts getting back to his feet again, but while he’s hunched over it gives her the perfect chance to catch him with a scissors kick! She tries another cover.

1!

2!

Aries kicks out again!

Sharper: “Marie doing everything she can to rattle Gio’s brains, but so far he’s still fighting on.”

Knots: “Are we sure he even has a brain in there to rattle? Last I checked I think it might be having tea with the Mad Hatter or something.”

Marie starts to get in the referee’s face, the cameras managing to pick up her claims of him being biased, but he stands firm on the two count he just made and just trying to call this match down the middle. She just shakes her and turns just in time to duck a discus forearm attempt from Aries! He manages to put on the brakes before inadvertently taking out the ref, but this allows Marie to roll him up from behind! As the referee drops to make the count, she even grabs the tights for good measure.

Aries kicks out! Marie is incensed by this as she charges in, but Aries blocks the clothesline she tries to throw and spins through with her trapped arm so he can throw her over with a half nelson suplex! The fans are roaring as Marie clutches at the back of her head, which just puts a bullseye on it as Aries starts frantically stomping away on the back of it.

Sharper: “Marie desperately trying to skirt around the rules just to be done with Gio, and I think all she’s done now is make him mad.”

Knots: “Nothing worse than an angry madman hellbent on completing his mission.”

The referee manages to get Aries to back off once Marie finds the ropes, but he lets her start getting to her feet only so he can bounce off the ropes and catch her with a running knee! She crawls along the ropes towards the nearest corner, but even this proves to be an unsafe decision as Aries lines himself up across the ring and charges forward into a high impact cannonball! Marie slumps over as Aries goes for the cover.

1!

2!

Marie gets a foot on the bottom rope! Aries looks unfazed by this as he hauls her to her feet and traps her arms before unloading a barrage of stiff headbutts upon her! The fans are cheering and some even count along as Aries batters Marie before letting go as she stumbles around in a daze while he moves to slip through the ropes and out onto the apron, taking a moment to get his own bearings before springboarding off the top rope into a spinning back elbow!

Sharper: “Aries is starting to build momentum, and this is one man you’ll be hard-pressed to stop once he gets on a roll.”

Knots: “Sasha might be on the verge of a very valuable point in her favor here!”

Marie rolls over and tries to climb to her feet, but she doesn’t get too far before Aries grabs her in a waistlock and hauls her up into a deadlift german suplex! A grin begins to spread across his lips at this point as he reaches down to grab Marie’s legs for The Peyote Experience, but she reaches up and thumbs him in the eye again! The fans begin jeering as Giovanni stumbles back, the referee admonishing Marie again but it falls on deaf ears as she measures her opponent before catching him with Kissed by Fire! She goes for the cover, hooking both legs.

1!

2!

Aries gets a shoulder up! The fans are on their feet as Marie is livid, immediately getting in the official’s face and trying to call him out on his “biased” job tonight while he stands his ground. She angrily turns away from him once she notices some movement on Giovanni’s part and runs towards the ropes before springboarding off into the Divine Impact, only for Aries to get his knees up! Marie, however, anticipated this and blocks in order to grab his legs with The Angel's Arch now in mind, but Aries reaches up and gives her a thumb to the eye of his own!

Sharper: “Marie’s been trying to end this match by any means necessary, and I think Gio finally decided turnabout’s fair play!”

Knots: “The last thing Marie could afford was him deciding to throw the rulebook out the window too!”

Marie stumbles back as Aries slowly rises, trying to shake the cobwebs off. Jones ends up in the corner, and as soon as he sees this he explodes forward and catches her with a helluva kick! The fans are rallying behind him as he glares down at Marie as she looks dazed before grabbing her hand, and despite the pleas she starts trying to make he proceeds to snap her fingers! A few fans wince at the sound as she rolls away back towards the corner, clutching at her hand. The referee moves in to check on her, but Giovanni’s unconcerned as he moves in to grab her, but with the referee out of position this leads to Jones swinging her leg back and catching Aries with a low blow! The fans immediately shift back to booing as Marie shakes out her hand and pushes the referee away before she begins climbing to the top turnbuckle. Whatever she had planned, however, falls apart as Aries suddenly shoves the referee himself, sending him into the ropes which costs Jones her balance as she lands awkwardly on the top turnbuckle! The official angrily threatens to disqualify Giovanni, but it falls on deaf ears as he’s too focused on how Marie’s positioned, moving in to hook her arms and pull her out before planting her with a rope hung version of The Bad Trip! Despite still being in pain from the low blow as his burst of adrenaline starts to wear off, he drags her closer to the center of the ring before attempting a cover.

1!

2!

Jones gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Giovanni almost picking up the win there with a hanging variation of The Bad Trip! Almost a receipt for how Marie beat him in their last encounter!”

Knots: “That ref’s sure as hell earning his paycheck tonight trying to keep some semblance of order to this madness!”

Aries glares down at Jones, almost like he’s racking his brain to figure out how to put her away. His eyes slowly drift towards the corner and a smirk begins to form as he rises and begins to make his way over. Before he gets too far, though, Marie ends up grabbing his foot to try and stop him. He looks down at her before grabbing her hand again, looking to snap her fingers one more time, but Marie manages to slip out of his grasp and pick his legs before trying to apply The Angel's Arch again! Aries desperately tries to block and manages to throw a kick or two into Marie’s face to separate them. While it does knock her back, she grabs him on his rise and tries to plant him with Ave Maria, but he somehow slips free and rolls her up from behind! Marie almost immediately kicks out before the ref can even get into position, but as she gets back to her feet she’s leveled by a discus forearm that sends her crashing facefirst to the mat! Giovanni looks around at the fans with wide eyes before he heads over to the corner as quickly as he can and climbs to the top, and Marie is unable to avoid going Down The Rabbit Hole! Aries turns her over and makes the cover.

The bell rings as "Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez hits again to a roar of approval as Gio gets to his knees, grinning like a cheshire cat at the win he’s just scored.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Giovanni Aries!”

Knots: “That is a loss you know isn’t going to be sitting well with Katya at this point!”

Sharper: “Aries avenging a loss Marie handed to him near the end of last year and in the process putting the reign of the woman he sees as the ‘Lizard Princess’ one foot deeper into the grave!”

Aries rises to his feet, pulling away when the referee tries to raise his hand as he just rolls out of the ring, moving to grab the nearest camera and staring into it.

Aries: “Score one for the Wonderland, vile lizard fiends!”

He pushes away and starts heading up the ramp as the referee checks on Marie in the ring.

Backstage, we open up to see Spirit Dansby with Bree Lancaster in her locker room. The crowd boos upon seeing her.

Spirit: “Spirit Dansby here and I’m with the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster. Bree, tonight you complete in the match Selena Frost handpicked to try and take your US Championship, the same match you both met in at Retribution 2017, albeit in different circumstances.”

Bree: “And the operative word is try. She can stack the deck, think I’m going to be scared, but I’m ready for this. I beat her, I kill her dream. No more BS US Title shots. I get to move on and continue to hold this title proudly. She can criticize me saying that I’m not a good champion, that I don’t come to her standard. That’s because my standard is not only different, but better. So I focus on making sure I walk out victorious. It’s called doing what you need to do in a highly competitive environment and I excel in it. You want to make excuses, go ahead. Tonight…you won’t have any excuses. You’ll just have your hubris and trust me, I’m going to be laughing all night long as I leave here holding this title and you just leave here disappointed, empty-handed, and with NOTHING left….again.”

The crowd boos as the camera focuses on Bree for a few moments before we cut away.

Glory Braddock vs. Alistaire Allocco

The first chords of "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift begins to play over the PA system…

Phillips: “This next contest is scheduled for one fall and introducing first…From London, England, she is The British Bombshell GLORY BRADDOCK!”

Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before making her way down the entrance ramp.

Screaming, crying, perfect storm
I can make all the tables turn
Rose gardens filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock, a highly accomplished performer in the industry, making her SCW pay per view debut tonight against former SCW World Champion, Alistaire Allocco.”

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory. He marches down the ramp with his harms still held high. Alistaire doesn’t even give the crowd any attention as he heads straight towards the bottom of the ring steps. There he pauses, dropping both his arms. He rotates his torso a few times, swinging his shoulders, before he runs up the steps and across the ring apron. He steps inside, lifting a finger into the air, pointing to the sky as he stands there in the middle of the ring. His music dies as he continues to stand front and center.

Phillips: “And her opponent from Salt Lake City, Utah…he is Alistaire Allocco!!!”

Sharper: “Alistaire, a former SCW World Champion, probably looking to get back into the title hunt.”

Knots: “Like you said, Glory is accomplished elsewhere. A win over Allocco would boost her standing.”

The referee calls for the bell. Alistaire and Glory begin to circle one another in the center of the ring before lunging forward, engaging in a tie-up. Alistaire immediately transitions into a waist lock. Glory lands an elbow to the side of the head. Alistaire lets go of the lock and staggers back. Glory turns and kicks Alistaire in the abdomen before taking him down with a swinging neck breaker. Glory quickly hooks the leg.

Alistaire kicks out.

Sharper: “Glory going for the quick cover and getting a two early on after that elbow into a swinging neckbreaker.”

Glory gets to her feet and goes to grab Alistaire, but he quickly reaches up and pulls her down into an inside cradle, going for a pin of his own.

Glory manages to kick out. Alistaire reaches over and locks in a side head lock, keeping Glory down on the mat. Alistaire rotates to the side, grabbing Glory’s arm and pulling it back. The ref checks on Glory as she is shown grimacing while trying to fight the pain.

Knots: “Alistaire wrenching down on Glory’s arm, probably trying to weaken it so she can’t lock in some of her holds.”

Alistaire once again rotates, laying on his back while keeping his grip on Glory’s arm, locking in another armbar. The ref checks again but Glory shakes her head no.

Sharper: “Alistaire really wearing down that arm.”

Glory manages to swing her legs as Alistaire cranks back, applying more pressure to the arm. Glory plants her feet and tries to land strikes but is unable to. Glory then leans forward, pinning Alistaire’s shoulders to the ground.

Alistaire kicks out, breaking the hold. Glory gets to her feet, nursing her arm in the process as Alistaire gets to his feet as well. Alistaire charges, but Glory manages to land a spin kick to the side of the head. Alistaire hits the mat as Glory takes a few moment to nurse her arm as once again.

Knots: “Glory stopped Alistaire with that kick, but it seems some damage has been done to the arm.”

Glory reaches down and grabs Alistaire’s leg before dropping down and locking him in the STF. Glory pulls back as Alistaire tries to fight out of the hold. Glory ends up breaking the hold and grabbing at her arm.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock had the hold locked in but had to let it go due to her arm.”

Glory gets to her feet as Alistaire uses the ropes to pull himself up. Glory hits a club to the back before hooking Alistaire and dropping him with a reverse DDT. Glory slaps her arm a few times before running into the rope as Alistaire is shown pushing himself up, only for Glory to hit a dropkick to the side of the head. Glory then gets to her and grabs Alistaire’s arm, locking in an arm bar of her own.

Sharper: “Glory Braddock now with an armbar. Looking to give the former World Champion a taste of his own medicine perhaps.”

Alistaire quickly gets to his feet, leans forward, trying to go for a pin, but Glory transitions, wrapping her legs around his arm, pulling him back down to the mat once again as she locks in a crossface. Glory yanks back as the referee checks in on Alistaire, who shakes his head no as he tries to pry Glory’s hands apart.

Knots: “Glory with the crossface, turning things in her favor.”

Alistaire pushes his upper body off of the mat before flipping over and hooking Glory’s leg going for the pin.

Glory breaks the hold and kicks out. Alistaire gets to his feet just as Glory does. Alistaire lands a club to the back of the head then takes Glory down with a German suplex. Alistaire maintains his grip around the waist and hits another German suplex. Alistaire swings his legs, pulling Glory up with him and goes for another German. Glory lands on her feet. She hits the ropes, using them as momentum as she leaps up and takes Alistaire down with a bulldog.

Sharper: “Alistaire regained the momentum, but Glory changed the tide back into her favor with that bulldog.”

Glory gets to her feet and walks over to Alistaire. She bends down to the grab him but he reaches up and pulls her down into another inside cradle.

Glory manages to roll over, going for a pin over her own.

Alistaire shifts again, keeping her in the inside cradle as the ref makes another count.

3!!!

The ref calls for the bell as Glory manages to kick out right after the three. The crowd boos as Alistaire scrambles to his feet, looking slightly shocked.

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

Knots: “Alistaire picking up the win with an inside cradle.”

Sharper: “Back and forth. Glory with a strong performance, but Alistaire stole it here tonight.”

Alistaire smirks at the crowd as he stands in the middle of the ring, raising his fist in the air.

Backstage, we hear yelling as we see Xander Valentine yelling in pain as he tries to stand on his ankle. He takes a step and falls to the wall.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine attacked by Ikiro earlier. He’s struggling to stand.”

Knots: “Struggling. He maybe can’t!”

Xander smacks the wall in anger as he then limps back over to the trainer’s bed, leaning on it.

Trainer: “Okay, it’s swelling. You need to stay off it. You need to. It’s going to get worse otherwise.”

Xander just looks down, annoyed, as we cut way.

The scene then cuts to show Jessica Winters standing in the locker room of Selena Frost. Selena Frost stands next to her, looking down at the ground, pacing a bit. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Jessica: “I’m here with Selena Frost. You’re back in an SCW arena, the match you used your Trios Tournament contract on. You’re looking to walk out of here not only as a US Champion, but a Supreme Champion. Bree is ready for you. Was the time away helpful to refocus you?”

Selena turns to Jessica.

Selena: “Tonight, it’s about one thing…Believing. See, Bree can be arrogant. She can act like she has everything figured out. It’s as I said on Breakdown though…she needs to beat me under these terms. She can do anything. That’s true. But she has to do it herself. And I know exactly what I can do in that same environment. 2018 was not the best year for me in terms of results, but tonight…I start 2019 by winning a title I’ve wanted to hold for years. Since I stepped in that ring. And the only way I don’t…is if Bree can beat me…and sorry, but I don’t BELIEVE there’s any chance of that happening.”

Selena turns and walks off as the crowd roars.

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

The scene cuts back to the ring.

Scarlet Grey & Kandis vs. Redemption (James Evans & Angelica Jones)

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Balance of Power Match (2 – Katya; 2 – Sasha)

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

Phillips: “The following contest is a balance of power match, scheduled for onefall, with a twenty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! First, the challengers. First, from West Hollywood, California, she is Kandis!”

When Kandis gets to the ring, she stops and instead of going up the steel steps, she actually foregoes her usual entrance, even if her remix plays, including line skips. She walks around the ring and over to the announce table.

Sharper: “World Tag Team Championship about to be on the line here and Kandis and Scarlet, a makeshift team, but both having thrown their support behind Katya and her vision, they’re getting this opportunity.”

Knots: “Scarlet Grey on her own with Ruby Amarant nursing an ankle injury and well…”

Sharper: “Kandis is coming over here. Why?”

Knots: “I don’t know but there was a time I would’ve welcomed this!”

Kandis walks over to the announce table and leans in front of Jonathan Knots. She leans in as “Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix)” starts to play. The camera focuses on Kandis as she leans in and then walks around the desk and leans in front of Knots. Knots leans back, looking away as Kandis clearly flaunts her ass right in front of him. She turns back.

Kandis: “Don’t you want to touch it? Feel what a real woman feels like? All of the curves?”

Knots: “Katya put you up to this?”

Kandis: “No, Jonny…just heard what you’ve said about me in the past. Here…”

We cut briefly to the entrance way as Scarlet Grey steps out, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips. Ruby steps out after her, walking gingerly with the help of crutches as she slowly limps down to the ring after Scarlet. Back at ringside, Kandis pulls a small bottle out from her cleavage and pours some of the contents onto her hands. She puts it down on the desk, the camera getting a close shot, showing it to be Manvel’s MANSauce. She then turns and rubs some in her hands before rubbing it on her ass, right in front of Knots.

Sharper: “This is a bit uncomfortable.”

Knots: “You’re telling me!”

Kandis: “Come on…you can touch.”

Phillips: “Her partner, accompanied by Ruby Amarant, from parts unknown, she is Scarlet Grey!”

Scarlet and Ruby continue to make their way down. Scarlet meanwhile smirks as she walks around the ring, spinning around the one ringpost as the camera focuses on Kandis. Kandis then backs up and goes to sit on Knots’ lap. He looks around before she kicks her legs up and turns to him, leaning in.

Kandis: “Come on Jon. You know you want a real woman in your life.”

Knots: “I have Kennie!”

Just then, Scarlet comes over and Kandis turns to her and smiles as Scarlet takes some of the MANsauce too, pour it on her hands and smiling as she twirls around. Knots looks around.

Knots: “No…you! You I know you’re not all there! Not after December.”

Scarlet: “Can’t I apologize to you in some way?”

Knots: “Okay, this is totally Katya doing this. Kennedy…I’m not interested! You know that!”

Scarlet then rubs some of the MANsauce on her chest, causing her breasts to shine in the lights as some of the fans look on and roar, and others boo. Scarlet then leans in as Kandis spins off of Knots and Scarlet steps forward and goes to straddle Knots. Ruby settles in Scarlet and Kandis’ corner.

Sharper: “You two have a match. Focus on that!”

Scarlet: “We’re multitalented, Adam. Aaron would’ve found out and Jonny can find out now. Are you sure I can’t make it up to you for last month?”

Kandis: “How about both of us?”

Knots: “No! Not interested! Th-thank you though. Just leave! You have a match.”

Kandis sighs as “Alive” by POD blares through the sound system, as the crowd begins to cheer. The cameras peer behind the curtain as James Evans and Angelica Jones make their way towards the entrance stage, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

Phillips: “Their opponents, they are the reigning and defending SCW World Tag Team Champions, Angelica Jones and James Evans, Redemption!”

Angelica and James see the scene at ringside and both start to head to the ring. Angelica slides into the ring as does James a few feet after her. They both drop their titles as the referee quickly grabs them. Angelica and James then turn and drop to the floor. Kandis backs away from Knots as Scarlet turns and goes to Angelica Jones. James follows Kandis as she backs up and turns and rolls into the ring.

Sharper: “James Evans and Angelica jones quickly on their way.”

Knots: “Just think. I’m being saved by James Evans from two beautiful women!”

Sharper: “Are you okay Knots?”

Knots: “Yeah…but now all I smell is that MANsauce. Smells like shame and grease! I’m a proud KABLAM Labs supporter!”

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes up on the screen before fading to the bottom corner as James slides in after Kandis. Angelica nails Scarlet with a hard right and then another before turning and running her into the corner. She turns to Ruby who swings at her with her crutch. Angelica backs up and the crowd boos a bit. Kandis meanwhile clubs James in the back and then again as he gets up and the bell sounds. The camera gets a shot of the small bottle of MANSauce still on the desk. Knots grabs it and smells it. He turns away, shaking his head. In the ring, Kandis then sits on the back of James as she looks around. James stands up and Kandis jumps down. James turns and Kandis reaches up and rakes his eyes. James turns and moves into the corner. Kandis then walks over and knees him in the ribs.

Sharper: “Kandis in control early. Scarlet saved by Ruby as Angelica had her in the barricade. Now they’re settling in their corners as this balance of power and World Tag Team Championship match keeps going.”

Knots: “Ruby also having to watch her partner maybe win the titles with someone else. And with someone’s sauce on her…uh…chest!”

Kandis then grabs James and goes to whip her across, but James spins through and sends Kandis in. James then touches his back, where Kandis was sitting and rubs his fingers. He looks disgusted before running at Kandis and Kandis turns and sticks her ass out. James stops and then boots her in it and Kandis goes through the ropes to the floor. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Looks like James has some MANsauce on him too!”

Sharper: “Clearly not appreciating Kandis adding some of this product before the match all to get to you Jon.”

Knots: “James at least has respect for Kennie. Maybe that’s what drove them to come down. I don’t know. Thank God though.”

Kandis gets up on the floor. (1) James looks at her as Kandis moves to her corner with Ruby and Scarlet. (2) James backs up and tags in Angelica. The crowd roars as Angelica steps into the ring. (3) Kandis rolls into the ring and then turns and tags in Scarlet. The crowd boos as Scarlet enters and Kandis steps out. Scarlet looks at Angelica. The two circle the ring and then lock up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another and Angelica gets the advantage, getting Scarlet back into the corner. She pushes her back as Scarlet leans back.

Angelica lets go and steps back. Scarlet goes for a forearm shot, but Angelica ducks. Both spin around and Angelica leans back in the corner and hits a double kick to the chest. Scarlet rolls through. Angelica runs out and hits a running clothesline. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Hard clothesline and Angelica Jones, the matriarch of the Jones family and having to watch her daughters work for Katya, even nearly coming to blows with Marie on Breakdown, taking Scarlet Grey down hard!”

Knots: “At least the MANSauce hopefully moisturized. Angelica drilled her in the chest with her arm!”

Scarlet turns and gets up and Angelica nails her with a hard chop. The crowd ohs and woos. Scarlet grimaces. Angelica chops her again. Scarlet falls to the ropes. Angelica then grabs her and whips her across. She bounces off and Angelica jumps up and snaps her over with a frankensteiner. He turns and goes for the pin.

Scarlet kicks out. Angelica turns and gets up. Scarlet turns and Angelica grabs her by the hair. She drags her up, but Scarlet spins out and then grabs Angelica and snapmares her over. Angelica rolls through. She turns and Scarlet grabs the arm and wrenches it before jumping up and hitting an armbreaker bulldog. Angelica rolls away, shaking out her arm. She starts to get up and Scarlet moves over and nails her with a forearm shot and then another, knocking Angelica in the corner. Scarlet then tags in Kandis. Scarlet starts to choke Angelica in the corner as Kandis moves to the middle of the ring. She turns and runs at Angelica. Scarlet lets go and steps away as Kandis hits a running backsplash into the corner. Angelica falls out of the corner and to the mat. Kandis goes for the pin.

Sharper: “That running backsplash and all of the weight and size into the chest of Angelica.”

Knots: “That’s where those curves can come into play. Now a cover!”

Angelica kicks out. She gets up and Kandis knees her in the ribs. She then whips her into the ropes. Angelica bounces off and Kandis hits a straight kick to the ribs. She then backs up and hits an axe kick to the back of Angelica’s head. Kandis rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Angelica gets her shoulder up. Kandis then turns and grabs Angelica. She pulls her up and then hoists her up for a back suplex. Angelica backflips through and Angelica jumps up and dropkicks Kandis in the face. The crowd cheers. She turns and gets up and Angelica kicks her in the ribs and hooks her up before hitting a snap suplex. Angelica rolls through and turns and tags in James. James enters and tells Angelica to come with him. Kandis starts to get up and Angelica watches him before James scoops her up as if going for a backbreaker and Angelica jumps to the middle rope and backflips through with a moonsault onto the chest and face of Kandis. The crowd ohs. Angelica rolls over and turns to Scarlet as James hooks the legs.

Kandis kicks out. Angelica then exits as James gets up. Ruby and Scarlet start to talk.

Sharper: “Great teamwork by Redemption. They have the experience of teaming together. Only gets a two though.”

Knots: “And Ruby and Scarlet are now talking. That’s the X-factor.”

Kandis stirs, but James drags her up and then hits a snap back suplex. He goes for another pin.

Kandis kicks out. She rolls over and grabs at the ropes. James walks over and grabs him and spins her around before whipping her into the ropes. She bounces off and James goes for a back drop. He hits it. Kandis rolls over and James backs up and goes for a clothesline. Kandis ducks and then James stops and turns and Kandis hits a spin kick to the ribs.

Ravyn: “You don’t need to worry. Owen may be ahead of his time. I’m just ahead of him period.”

Owen Cruze vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW Adrenaline Championship

Balance of Power Match (2 – Katya; 3 – Sasha)

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

Phillips: “The following contest is a balance of power match, scheduled for onefall, has a time limit of thirty minutes and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship! First, the challenger, from Los Angeles, California…he is Owen Cruze!”

"It's Showtime!"

The crowd roars as he brings his arms out to his side, nodding his head. His arms shaking he brings them in, crossing them across his chest

"It's Showtime!"

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

Sharper: “Owen Cruze could have a crowning achievement of his young career tonight in Los Angeles, a city he knows well. The same city his uncle calls home.”

Knots: “He’s beaten Selena Frost. He won the Open Invitational at the End of the Year Special. Can he win the SCW Adrenaline Championship tonight against whether we like it or not, one of the best statistically in SCW history!”

Sharper: “And if he wins tonight, Katya has no chance of running things the next four weeks! He can end it right here! End the powerplay!”

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

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

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

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

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face. She’s dressed in ring gear that includes her normal ring jacket covering a small, revealing bra top and a pair of skin tight hot-pants with the words “BAD GIRL” across the back. The SCW Adrenaline Championship is around her waist. CHBK walks out with her and stands slightly behind her as Ravyn stops on the stage, twirling for the camera almost mockingly.

Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by the Canadian Heartbreak Kid, from Hell, Michigan, she is the reigning and defending SCW Adrenaline Champion, the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments she starts to make her way down to ringside and then steps up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before vaulting over the top turnbuckle and rolling back to her feet. CHBK walks around the ring, settling in her corner. Ravyn walks over to the far corner of the ring, stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and removes her ring jacket, looking down at herself with a look of admiration before stepping off the turnbuckle again. She folds the jacket up and places it in the corner before dropping to a seated position, looking up at the referee and shaking her head as he tries to tell her to get to her feet so he can pat her down. Instead she just ushers him away with her hand, holding out her Adrenaline Championship, continuing to sit in the corner. The referee backs up and raises the title over his head as the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor in a position to determine a lot. She’s won every title she could have. She knows it and loves that she’s the only one who can say so.”

Knots: “And she’ll remind you if you ask!”

Sharper: “CHBK also out here. And Ravyn Taylor knows she’ll face _____ on Breakdown. She doesn’t care. She’s focusing on Owen Cruze and potentially derailing this young man’s career, like she did with Slayter McKinney. Like she’d like to do for her and Dark Fantasy’s benefit!”

Ravyn pulls herself up as Phillips is handed the title and the bell sounds. Ravyn looks at Owen. Owen watches CHBK briefly before watching Ravyn. Ravyn steps out and smirks before telling him to come at her. Owen looks around as the crowd cheers as Ravyn keeps telling Owen to come at her. Owen looks around.

Knots: “Yeah and Owen is finding out why being just fast may not be enough.”

A recap video plays of the history between Datura and Regan Street.

Datura vs. Regan Street

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

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

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

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

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

“Dead Flag Blues” by Godspeed You! Black Emperor plays. A chorus of strings play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight settles at the top of the ramp. There, it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight, dark jeans and a black hoodie. She stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd and sea of jeers that flood her way.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Tampa, Florida, she is Datura!”

Elizabeth trudges down the ramp, and the light follow. The silhouette of hands reaching out to grab her can be seen on the outskirts of the light. Datura ignores them as she climbs up the steps. The strings slow. Datura stands upon the apron, cracks her neck, and enters under the top rope. She makes her way to the corner and unzips her hoodie. She extends her arms outward and rolls her neck, casting her gaze to the sky as her hoodie slides off her arms.

Sharper: “It all started with Datura wanting to take out what remained of the Helms family, dating back to her issues with David. It was to be AJ first. AJ was injured. Now Regan is the one in the crosshairs.”

Knots: “And it’s gotten personal with the messages, the threats, Datura and Regan hate each other.”

Sharper: “We expect this one to be a hard-hitting, personal affair that both will not forget.”

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her.
She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with a mixed reaction.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, from Santa Monica, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”

Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, rolls her eyes and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela. Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring. She looks at Datura who looks across the ring. Mikaela glares at Datura too. Regan then slingshots into the ring.

Sharper: “Remember that on Breakdown, Datura feigned attacking Mikaela to make a point. She’s in Regan’s head. Even if Regan wouldn’t admit it.”

Knots: “She won’t, but here we go!”

The crowd roars as the bell sounds as Datura steps up and Regan runs across at her. Regan then tackles Datura down. Datura holds onto Regan’s head as Regan nails Datura with a hard right to the ribs, followed by another and another before Datura starts to grab onto the head of Regan.

A recap video plays showing how the previous Selena Frost/Bree Lancaster matches have gone building up to the roofed cage match.

Selena Frost vs. Bree Lancaster

SCW United States Championship

Roofed Cage Match

If Lancaster wins, Selena Frost cannot challenge her for the US Championship again

We hear ominous music play as the roofed cage starts to descend from the ceiling. The crowd roars as spotlights flash on the cage.

Sharper: “There you see the steel roofed cage, the same type of structure Bree and Selena’s issues started in nearly two years ago.”

Knots: “Yeah, but it was a bit different. That was the same cage as for the Tactical Warfare. This one encompasses the ringside area. More room to fight.”

Sharper: “Similar to the Thunderdome, and just as ominous.”

The cage continues to come down.

Sharper: “And this will be for the SCW United States Championship. If Selena Frost loses though, Bree Lancaster can continue her reign knowing full well that Selena cannot challenge her. It’s about proving that she can compete, by herself, with no help, and be the champion Selena Frost believes she should be!”

It reaches the floor and we then see the crew members nearby walk over and open the door. We then cut to Jason Phillips who is standing outside of the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Roofed Cage Match for the SCW United States Championship! And if Selena Frost fails to defeat Bree Lancaster, she cannot challenge her for the SCW United States Championship again.”

The SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner.

"BELIEVE IT!"

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

Phillips: “First, the challenger, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before stepping into the roofed cage. She then runs forward and slides into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. She takes a moment and looks around her surroundings as the crowd cheers her. Selena then starts to raise her arms and look up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the entrance way.

Sharper: “Selena Frost using her Trios Tournament contract for this match and as we saw, the next Trios Tournament will take place on February 16.”

Knots: “As we find out who will be next to get their opportunity for any match they want!”

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 “Natural” by Imagine Dragons kicks in the lights come back up and Bree Lancaster is standing on the stage, dressed in her black silk robe and her arms spread wide. Bree looks up as white sparks shower down behind her from the top of the set to the stage. Scott Burnside appears behind her, carrying her title belt. The crowd boos heavily.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!”

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the entrance to the cage and Scott hands her the US Championship belt. She then steps into the cage and Scott follows. Selena notices this and walks over to the official. Bree smirks as she walks over to the steps. She then walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. In the ring Bree holds the belt overhead. She then hands it back to Scott and pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her black shimmery gear. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott then exits to the floor as Bree hands the referee the title. He holds it over his head as Selena turns and points to Scott. The official and her talk as Bree snaps at Selena.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster here, but Scott Burnside is also inside the cage.”

Knots: “Phillips didn’t even announce him. He’s not supposed to be here.”

Sharper: “But he is and Selena Frost taking exception to him being in the cage.”

Bree snaps at Selena as Selena turns and drops to the floor. She walks over to Scott. Scott backs up and just puts his hands up. He then turns and runs as the crowd roars and Selena runs over and grabs him. He turns and kicks him in the ribs before turning and running him over to the entrance and throwing him through the door.

She then grabs the door as Selena nearly falls through and pulls on it, causing it to go into Selena’s head. Selena falls back and into the ring apron. The bell sounds as the official outside of the ring quickly locks it. Scott runs up and tries to pull on it. The official on the floor tells him to leave as Bree nails Selena with a hard right. She stumbles back and Bree grabs her and drives her face first into the steel steps. Selena falls to a knee.

Sharper: “Scott forced out. Now leaving, but Bree taking advantage.”

Knots: “Probably what was planned. She’s shown it time and time again. IF she can do it, she will because she can!”

Sharper: “She better be careful. Everything is legal in this one.”

Bree grabs Selena and nails her with another forearm. She stumbles back and Bree pulls her in with a short-arm clothesline. Bree then steps forward and looks out at the crowd who boo her.

Bree reaches for the ropes and Selena grabs her and pulls her back and into a reverse DDT. She hooks the leg.

Bree pushes her off again. Selena rolls away. She gets up and turns and walks over to Bree. Bree pushes her away and moves to the ropes. Selena walks after her and Bree pushes up and goes for a hard right, but Selena catches the arm and then spins Bree around and jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Bree kicks out. Both get up and ducks a clothesline. Selena stops and turns and Bree jumps to the middle rope and dives back, hitting a twisting blockbuster. The crowd ohs. Bree then goes for the pin.

Selena gets her shoulder up. Bree looks at her and then rolls out of the ring to the floor. She starts to look under the ring.

Sharper: “Bree gets a two count, but then looking under the ring.”

Knots: “Grabbing some material help!”

Sharper: “All legal though.”

Bree then pulls out a steel chair and slides it into the ring. She grabs another one too and slides it in before rolling in. Selena starts to get up and Bree stomps her in the face, knocking her back down. Bree then turns and grabs one of the chair and hoists it up before looking at Selena. Selena slowly starts to get up and Bree simply lifts it over her head and slams it onto the back of Selena. Selena falls back to the mat. Bree just smiles as she looks down at Selena who arches her back in pain. She slowly lifts herself up again and Bree lifts it up and slams it into her back again. She then unfolds the chair as Selena rolls to the ropes. Bree walks over and grabs Selena and then scoops her up and turns and goes to drop Selena onto the chair back throat first, but Selena gets her hands out and stops herself. She elbows Bree and turns and just throws the chair into her side. Bree falls over and to the apron. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Selena saving herself and then giving Bree what’s going to be a horrible bruise.”

Knots: “Right to the shoulder. Bree just barely got her arms up and now she’s on the apron!”

Selena looks at Bree and then places the chair back down. She runs across the ring and bounces off and jumps off the seat of the chair. She however jumps up and lands on the shoulders of Bree for a seated senton, but Bree turns and powerbombs her into the side of the roofed cage. The crowd ohs and Selena falls to the mats in a heap. Bree falls into the side of the cage, shoulder first and remains there as Selena is just down. The crowd looks on as a “Holy Shit!” chant begins to break out.

Sharper: “Selena went big again, but this time, Bree countered with a powerbomb into the steel.”

Knots: “The girders bent. They creaked, but they didn’t give and what may have broken was Selena who is down in a heap!”

Bree just looks down at Selena and takes a few deep breaths before stepping forward and grabbing her. She then pulls her up to her feet and pulls her in before hitting a belly to belly suplex, overhead style, on the mats. Selena just is laid out on the floor and Bree sits up. She then gets up and looks at Selena. Bree smiles as she grabs Selena and slowly lifts it up and then turns and rolls her into the ring. Bree slides in and Selena rolls over and to her back. Bree crawls over and hooks the leg.

Selena shoots her shoulder up. Bree looks up stunned. She then turns and hooks the leg again.

Selena kicks out again. Bree turns and smacks the mat. She then looks Selena before getting up and walking over to the unopened, and thus far unused, steel chair. Selena rolls over and slowly starts to get up and stumbles up to her feet, but Bree turns and slams the chair into her back. Selena collapses back to the mat. Bree then looks at her and slams the chair into the back again before staggering back. She then turns and looks at the other chair and smiles. She then turns and slides the first chair under the head of Selena as she stomps her. Selena remains down on it as the crowd starts to roar and many boo.

Sharper: “Selena is trouble here.”

Knots: “Bree put one chair under her…what is she doing?”

Sharper: “We’ve seen Katie Steward do this in the past. Bree Lancaster I think may be looking to end Selena’s night and maybe more right here!”

Bree walks over to the unfolded chair and folds it up. She then turns back to Selena. She then smirks before lifting the chair up. The official can only watch, but she then goes to slam it down, but Selena turns and sweeps out Bree’s legs. She hits the mat. Selena turns and grabs the chair under her as the crowd erupts in cheers. Bree gets up and Selena slams the chair into her back. Bree falls over and down to the mat. Selena turns and unfolds her chair. She puts it down and grabs Bree. Bree lifts her chair up, but Selena kicks it and it flies into the ropes. Bree then elbows Selena. She goes for the chair, but Selena grabs her and knees her in the spine. She pulls her back and places her on the chair. Selena then turns and exits to the apron before springboarding to the top rope and hitting a flipping seated senton onto Bree. She sits on her for the pin.

Bree kicks out. She rolls over and moves to the corner. Selena gets up. Bree turns and runs at her and Selena backs up to the ropes before lifting Bree up and launching her over the top rope. Bree turns and then falls down, landing on her thigh and side hard on the mats. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh! Bad landing!”

Knots: “There goes those leg waxing commercials. Too many bruises!”

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster landing hard and the closer confines means any time you’re sent to the floor, it’s a hazard.”

Selena looks over and then steps through to the floor. She then grabs Bree. Bree grimaces and Selena nails her with a forearm shot and then turns and runs her across and sends her face first into the steel ringpost. Bree rolls through and down to the mats. The crowd roars as Selena looks over and starts to walk after her. Bree looks up as a cut appears on her forehead and blood starts to pour down her face. The crowd cheers seeing this. Selena walks over and grabs Bree and pulls her up by the hair. Bree yells out and Selena sees the blood and Selena nails her with a hard right. Bree falls to the mats. Bree rolls over and Selena grabs her and places her against the side of the steel cage and starts to rake the face of Bree along it. The crowd cheers as Selena continues to grind her into it as the crowd cheers.

Knots: “Grinding her face now into the steel!”

Sharper: “Bree, a bloody mess, as that shot to the ringpost cut her open!”

Knots: “Selena’s now having some fun.”

Selena pulls Bree off and Bree falls over. She starts to crawl away as Selena follows her and grabs her. Bree pushes off the steel steps and goes for a hard right, but Selena blocks it and nails her with a shot of her own. She then grabs Bree and drives her face first into the ring apron. Bree falls back into the steel cage before Selena grabs her and whips her again into the ringpost. Bree spins off and down to the mats again. The crowd cheers as Bree reaches up, her face now covered in blood. Selena walks around the ring.

Sharper: “Bree is in a bad way. Selena knows it!”

Knots: “This is great. Bree has no one else to help her. Come on! Prove how good you are!”

Selena heads over and grabs Bree and Bree falls back to the ring. Selena turns and rolls her into the ring. Bree rolls over and starts to crawl away. Selena slides in.

The crowd cheers and Selena hooks Bree up and hits a superplex off the top rope. The crowd roars. Bree rolls over, arching her back in pain and rolling over. Selena winces a bit. She starts to get up. She then goes over to Bree. She goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Bree going for the eyes. Trying anything.”

Knots: “How about a chair?! She has one of them!”

Sharper: “One of the chairs she brought in earlier!”

Selena turns around and Bree swings and nails Selena in the knees with the steel chair. The crowd ohs and Selena hits the mat. Bree then uses the chair to get up to her feet. She staggers around before lifting the chair up and slamming it into the legs of Selena. The crowd ohs. Bree throws the chair down and grabs Selena’s leg. She then spins through and locks her into the Crescent Lock!

Sharper: “Bree locks in the Crescent Lock! Two shots to the legs with the chair.”

Knots: “That’s all the damage she may need. Bree’s bridging up!”

Selena yells in pain as Bree bridges up and looks at the official who quickly moves to Selena. Bree keeps trying to keep herself up as Selena yells in pain. She reaches around and grimaces in pain as the officials asks her if she gives up. Selena shakes her head no as Bree drops down, particularly from exhaustion, partially from blood loss. She bridges up again. Selena reaches around and then starts to reach out, trying to fight through the pain herself. Bree keeps trying to stay bridged and Selena grabs at the leg and pulls on it. Bree struggles, but drops down. Selena grimaces in pain and starts to slowly move her arm to turn over. Bree reaches around as Selena continues to turn. The crowd cheers as a “We Believe!” chant begins to echo throughout the arena. Selena slowly turns over and Bree shakes her head no as Selena succeeds. The crowd roars. Bree manages to turn her over again and gets her legs free before moving away. Selena rolls over to the corner. Bree crawls to the opposite corner.

Sharper: “Selena fighting out of it! Selena fighting out of the Crescent Lock!”

Knots: “The damage done to both though! Bree couldn’t get it fully locked and Selena clearly in pain from the move!”

Selena slowly starts to get up, limping up to his feet. Bree gets up and looks at her and runs across the ring and spears Selena in the corner. Selena winces in pain and falls forward as Bree steps out and then hits a northern lights suplex into a bridge.

Sharper: “Icebreaker only gets two!”

Sharper: “Selena finding her way. Look out! Look out!”

Selena starts to get up and Bree grabs the chair. Selena looks at her and then turns and jumps to the top rope.

Sharper: “Bree willing to get a fine too. Just like her friend Andrew Raynes!”

Knots: “Not just that, look at Selena. I think she’s busted!”

Selena rolls over, grimacing in pain as we see blood coming down her face now. The crowd boos as Bree looks out. She grabs at the ropes and starts to stir. Bree then throws the chair down and walks over to Selena. She pulls her up and we see the blood coming a bit clearer. Bree forearms her in the back of the head and then again before pulls her back. Bree glances back and Bree hits a German suplex on the steel chair. The crowd ohs. She bridges.

Selena shoots her shoulder up. The crowd roars. Bree lets go and turns to her. She starts to pull her up. She then drags her up and nails her with a hard right and then another. Selena falls into the ropes. Bree then looks at the chair and smirks.

Sharper: “Look at the smirk.”

Knots: “She’s becoming very good at finding ways to get what she wants in that ring. And that chair’s legal.”

Sharper: “Thinking about something. Selena bleeding. Bree too. But Selena also has that leg to consider.”

Bree then lifts Selena up and sits her on the middle rope only to lift her up by the knees, almost turning to go for a double kneebreaker on the chair, but as she turns, Selena pushes up and spins through. She then grabs Bree’s arm, pushes her out and pulls her back in before hitting a DDT on the steel chair. The crowd roars. Selena rolls over and grabs at the ropes.

The crowd roars with cheers and Selena rolls off and leans against Bree. She slowly rolls over and the official turns as the cage starts to be risen.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and NEW SCW United States Champion, Selena Frost!”

Sharper: “Selena Frost on the final shot, back up against the wall, and in the match she chose, she has walked out not just champion, but a Supreme Champion!”

Knots: “The title she wanted most when she came in was the US Title and tonight, against Bree Lancaster, she wins it.”

Sharper: “In a hell of a contest. With both women putting it all out there, but Selena Frost got the Glass Shard and the victory and the title!”

Selena starts to get up as the cage rises as Phillips walks over and hands the official the title. He turns and hands it to Selena. Selena Frost looks up and takes a deep breath before falling into the ropes. She then has her arm raised, holding the title over her head. Selena looks around as the crowd continues to cheer.

Sharper: “A great moment for Selena Frost! Starting 2019 as she wanted, holding SCW gold yet again!”

Bree stirs as Scott returns to ringside and pulls Bree out of the ring. He holds her up as she winces in pain, the blood flowing a bit more. He helps Bree to the back as Selena Frost backs up and looks out at the crowd and poses again, holding the title over her head.

A recap video showing Syren’s desire to get a title shot, Sienna Swann’s title reign and Cassidy Carter winning a title shot causing problems for both.

Cassidy Carter vs. Syren vs. Sienna Swann

SCW World Championship

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

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

Strobe lights begin flashing between different shades of blue, green and red in rapid succession as Cassidy Carter steps out to cheers. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. Ace Marshall walks out from the back, holding one of the champagne bottles he had obtained for the presumed celebration. Cassidy throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the booing masses.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a triple threat match for the SCW World Championship. First, accompanied by Ace Marshall, from Las Vegas, Nevada, she is The Duchess of Debauchery, Cassidy Carter!”

She makes her way down the ramp, now in full spirits, not really focusing on anything. Her arrogance and lack of real concern or worries showing in spades. She reaches the apron before pulling herself up using the bottom rope for support. Standing along it she raises her head up to the rafters while leaning fully into the top rope. She sways her hips seductively before flipping over the top rope, landing inside the ring before turning and throwing her arms up and walking toward the center of the ring, dancing a bit in a straight line to her own theme song. Her self-admiration and confidence continuing to be on full display for the world to grovel in. She raises her arms further up, now placing her hands on the back of her head before making her way to the corner. Ace Marshall meanwhile walks around the ring and starts to twist-off the cap of the champagne and takes a swig. Stepping up onto the second rope Cassidy sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side. Ace pours some of the champagne into her mouth as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter, Ace Marshall, already acting like they’ve got this. They have one advantage and that’s they’re a wildcard in many ways.”

Knots: “And not just with Ace drinking. Cassidy certainly has nothing to lose in this one. Some would say she’s not supposed to be here. She beat Blake for it and well, she could be World Champion after tonight!”

Sharper: “Think about that. Cassidy Carter becoming the World Champion. She and Ace would then join David Helms and Regan Street, and Syren and Ravyn Taylor as the only couples who both held the World Championship.”

The lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. In the darkness we hear the thumping of a heart beating twice. With each beat we see a pink heart on the screens, and pink lights on the stage flashing in unison. After a few more seconds of darkness we hear the heart beating twice more, accompanied by the same lights. A few more seconds of darkness are followed by two more flashes of light, this time in a silhouette against the lights we see the figure of a woman standing. Two more heart beats once again show the silhouette of the woman. The crowd boos and “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. The lights come back up as the crowd boos louder to find Syren standing in the middle of the stage.

Phillips: “Next, the other challenger, from Malibu, California and representing Dark Fantasy, she is Syren!”

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

The boos continue as she turns around, pointing at the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” accompanied by her heart-logo. She spins back around before starting to head down toward it. Once at ringside she jumps up onto the apron, looking around again at the booing fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little to another boo from the fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. More boos come as Syren jumps down and looks across at Cassidy. She snaps at her about how this was her match before she backs up and goes to another corner and jumps up, sitting on the top turnbuckle. Ace mockingly offers her champagne as Syren turns away from him.

Sharper: “Syren angry as you already see, annoyed by the fact she has to share this opportunity.”

Knots: “A bit of karma. It’s what happened last year. The only difference is that Cassidy earned the shot by earning it in the ring. Syren was handed it. Now Syren’s handed it and now has to deal with the one who earned it again.”

Sharper: “And against the World Champion in Sienna Swann. Swann does not care for either Cassidy or Syren.”

Knots: “Mutual each way.”

Sharper: “But more importantly, for Katya, Syren needs to win. She does and Katya is in charge. If not, Sasha is and Syren’s title hopes may be gone.”

Knots: “Dear God, please happen!”

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

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

Sienna then extends her arms and reveals the large golden angel wings that are part of her entrance gear, she looks around at the crowd and smirks, posing as the camera flashes begin to pepper down on her from the “paparazzi” staged around her. The SCW World Championship around Sienna’s waist. Laura making sure that they take plenty of pics of The Beautiful Angel before making her way to the ring, Laura instructs the Twins to follow her to the ring as she disappears to the back with the photographers. Sienna walks down to the ring, looking around. She continues to the apron, climbing up the stairs and to the top rope, posing with her wings spread wide. She looks up to the rafters as a gold spotlight like the light of heaven shines down on her as gold glitter begins to rain down on the entire arena. Syren starts to move forward as the official stops her. Cassidy smirks. Sienna sees Syren and hops into the ring, spreading her arms out and smiling before taking off her wings from help of the Twins. Sienna steps forward and takes her World Title off and holds it over her head as the crowd boos. She hands off the title to Demitra who backs up and holds it up. Cassidy, Syren and Sienna look at him. He hands it off as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen.

Sharper: “All three there and Sienna here with the Trueloves who are at ringside.”

Knots: “Still holding the wings, probably in case Ace tries something. I’m stunned Syren is here alone.”

Sharper: “May be out here alone, but we know she’s had people in the crowd before and let’s not forget that Xander Valentine, CHBK, two people who would’ve been involved, they’re potentially out recovering from everything else.”

Referee Aaron Demitra calls for the bell. The bell sounds as Sienna heads to Syren, but as she does, London and Paris run at Cassidy. Cassidy tries to jump down, but London and Paris throw the wings at her. Cassidy catches them in the face and falls back and just narrowly avoids landing on the floor, turning and catching the apron before rolling to the floor.

Sharper: “Hey! Wait a minute! Those wings! Right to the face!”

Knots: “Sienna and the Trueloves made sure Cassidy won’t be an issue. She had a hard landing!”

The crowd boos as Sienna looks at Syren.

Sienna: “Let’s do it with the two who should be here!”

Syren smiles and shrugs and nails Sienna with a forearm shot and Sienna nails Syren with one. They trade blows as Ace hops onto the apron. London and Paris watch him before Paris then turns. Sienna knees Syren and runs her into the corner. Sienna tells Paris to stay on the floor and watch Ace. Paris nods and turns around as Ace checks on Cassidy.

Sharper: “Sienna wanted to give Syren what she wanted. One on one. What Sienna wanted last June too. So everything coming full circle.”

Knots: “Sienna at least fighting Syren alone.”

Sharper: “For now. Trueloves keeping Ace out. Keeping Cassidy down.”

London and Paris then turn and drop down to the floor, going on either side of the ringpost as Sienna kicks Syren in the ribs and then again and again as she’s in the corner. Sienna starts to choke Syren with her boot as the crowd boos. London turns and goes for Ace, but Ace ducks and then knees her in the ribs before Paris stomps Cassidy in the back. Ace goes for her. Paris backs up and Ace follows after a bit. Ace then turns as London heads over and runs at her, but Ace lifts her up in a press before turning and throwing her at Paris as Paris steps forward to go after Ace. The crowd roars. Sienna steps off of Syren as Demitra warns her.

Sienna: “Or what? You’re going to get angry! Triple Threat!”

Sienna then grabs Syren and whips her across the ring. Syren hits the corner. She bounces off out of it and Sienna nails her with a running clothesline. Syren hits the mat. She slowly gets up and Sienna kicks her in the ribs and then hits a shoot kick to the ribs. She runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a spinning heel kick. She rolls through and goes for the pin. Ace checks on Cassidy before looking in the ring.

Syren kicks out. Syren turns and rolls over and Sienna turns and grabs Syren. She pulls her up and then hooks her up for a vertical suplex, but Syren blocks it. Syren nails her in the ribs before hoisting her up and hitting a release front suplex. The crowd boos as Sienna rolls over and over to the corner. Ace then grabs the champagne as Syren walks over toward Sienna and stomps her in the face and then again before Ace suddenly sprays some of the champagne into the eyes and face of Syren. Syren turns away, her face soaked by the sparkling liquid. Ace then turns and dumps the rest of the bottle over Sienna Swann. The crowd cheers as Sienna turns and rolls over, drenched as well. Ace then enters the ring as Cassidy starts to get up. We then see security and officials coming out from the back.

Sharper: “Ace using that champagne to buy time for Cassidy as she recovers!”

Knots: “She’s moving. She’s doing something and Sienna and Syren now drenched by that champagne. Ace celebrating early!”

Sharper: “And the carbonation getting into the eyes. Ace is now in the ring. And security joining us too, perhaps to get everyone out.”

Knots: “Who sent them? D? Sasha? Katya!?”

Ace looks at Syren and then Sienna, watching both. Cassidy gets up as London and Paris stir and Cassidy runs over and dropkicks Paris into London and they fall into the barricade. We then see several official come over and start to detain Paris and London. Ace then turns and sees Syren getting up and swings the bottle at her, but she ducks. The crowd ohs. Syren turns and kicks Ace in the ribs. Ace drops the bottle and then Syren dropkicks him. He goes through the ropes and to the floor where security quickly gets a hold of him. Syren then rolls over and gets up as Sienna runs out of the corner and clotheslines her down. She flips her champagne soaked hair back and turns around as Cassidy enters the ring and spears Sienna down. The crowd erupts in cheers as Cassidy moves into a side mount and hammers away on Sienna, nailing her over and over again as the Trueloves and Marshall are forced from the ringside area.

Sharper: “Cassidy going after Sienna! Teeing off!”

Knots: “Now this is getting interesting again!”

Sharper: “Ace bought enough time. He and the Trueloves gone! I doubt that’s the last bit of interference, but it buys time for Cassidy to get in her shots!”

Knots: “Both Sienna and Syren didn’t want her here!”

Cassidy gets a few more shots in before she rolls through. Syren gets up and Cassidy turns and nails her with a forearm shot and then another before grabbing her by the hair and hitting a hairflip snapmare. She then dropkicks Syren in the back of the head. Syren rolls over and to the corner. Cassidy follows up with a series of stomps to the chest. Syren ends up on the apron. Sienna rolls over and turns around and Cassidy kicks her in the ribs. She then grabs her by the hair and drives her face first into the mat. The crowd roars. Sienna rolls over and Cassidy stomps her in the face and then again and again. The crowd cheers as Sienna rolls over to the corner. She slowly gets up in the corner and Cassidy chops her. The crowd woos. She chops her again. More woos. She then grabs Sienna and runs out of the corner with a running bulldog. She rolls Sienna over and hooks the leg.

Sienna kicks out. Cassidy rolls through and gets up and Syren springboards to the top rope and dives off with a flying clothesline. The crowd boos as Syren rolls through.

Sharper: “Syren cuts off Cassidy after a nearfall!”

Knots: “Clothesline just nearly took her head off!”

She then looks around. She starts to get up and Sienna slowly stirs. Syren grabs her and turns and throws her out of the ring.

Sharper: “Now throwing Sienna out.”

Knots: “I thought she wanted to face her! I guess not!”

Syren turns around as Cassidy starts to get up in the corner and Syren runs after and nails her with a running clothesline. The crowd ohs and Cassidy stumbles out. Syren backs up with her and grabs Cassidy and hooks her up before hitting a fisherman’s suplex into a bridge.

Cassidy kicks out. She rolls over as Syren starts to get up. Cassidy rolls over and the crowd chants for “Cassidy!” as Syren grabs her and forearms her in the jaw and then again. She pushes Cassidy into the ropes and fires her across. She bounces off and Syren scoops her up, but Cassidy kicks her legs. She manages to slide down behind her. Cassidy shoves Syren into the ropes. She bounces off and Cassidy jumps up and hits a frankensteiner. The crowd roars. Syren rolls through. She starts to get up and turns and Cassidy takes her down by the arm and goes for the Fabulock! The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Fabulock! Cassidy taking down Syren! Syren stunned by it!”

Knots: “And middle of the ring. Go for it. Come on! Make her tap! I can’t believe I’m cheering for Cassidy!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Syren reaches out and tries to get to the ropes, but Cassidy keeps pulling back. Syren starts to look like she may tap, but Sienna rolls into the ring and runs over and hits a running dropkick to the face of Cassidy. Cassidy lets go and rolls through. Syren rolls over and Sienna turns and stomps her in the face and then again and again. Syren rolls to the floor. Sienna turns around and Cassidy starts to get up and Cassidy hits a hard shoot kick to the ribs and then to the leg before hitting a forearm to the jaw, a spinning back fist and then a spinning kick to the side of the head. Cassidy falls over to the corner with Angel’s Wrath. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Sienna just teeing off. A series of hard strikes. Angel’s Wrath.”

Knots: “Bringing in that kickboxing and using Cassidy’s face, legs and chest as her punching bag!”

Sharper: “And all this after sending Syren to the floor. I think both Syren and Sienna see Cassidy as the threat here. An interesting mental calculus going on there!”

Sienna then scoops Cassidy up and slams her down. Sienna smirks as she exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. She looks at Cassidy as Cassidy remains down and Sienna motions that it’s done before she dives off and goes for the Swann-ton Bomb, but Cassidy rolls out of the way. Sienna crashes into the mat. She grimaces and starts to get up and Cassidy steps up and grabs her and hoists her up before spinning her out into a blue thunder bomb.

Sienna gets her shoulder up and rolls out. Cassidy turns and rolls over as Syren enters and runs at her, drilling her with the Face Lift. The crowd ohs and boos. Cassidy hits the mat. Syren dives onto her for the pin.

Knots: “She’s nearly pinned both Syren and Sienna in this one!”

Cassidy rolls over. She starts to get up and just then, the crowd boos as we see Alexander Crowe climbing over the barricade, having come from the crowd. More boos come as Alexander Crowe grabs the SCW World Championship. He then spins around and slides into the ring. Cassidy turns and Crowe gets up and runs past Demitra who tries to stop him and runs at Cassidy, nailing her with the SCW World Championship. Cassidy hits the mat and rolls over. The crowd boos loudly. Sienna gets up too and turns to Crowe who nails her with the World Title. The crowd cheers some, but also boo as Crowe throws the title down before snapping at Aaron Demitra who tries to get him to leave.

Sharper: “Triple Threat rules. There’s Crowe! Shot to Cassidy! Shot to Sienna! God damn it!”

Knots: “There’s the plan.”

Sharper: “Where’s security now?!”

Knots: “Maybe that answers the question – Katya was the one who got them to go out. Why Syren came out alone!”

Crowe turns to Syren and starts to help her up before we see Ikiro Yoshida running down from the back. Crowe throws Syren onto Sienna and snaps at Demitra. Demitra reluctantly drops down to count.

Ikiro pulls Syren out. Syren turns and Ikiro turns and hits a shoot spin kick to the side of Syren’s head and she drops down. Crowe turns and Ikiro rolls into the ring and Crowe nails him in the back and then again. The crowd roars some.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida now out! Saving the match!”

Knots: “Pulling Syren out to save Sienna! He took out Chris Cannon and Xander Valentine earlier! Now trying to help Sienna!”

Crowe then pulls him in, but Ikiro nails him in the ribs with a hard elbow and then another before pushing Crowe back. Ikiro then steps back and nails him with a superkick. The crowd ohs and roars. Crowe hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Ikiro then looks around and goes over to Sienna as Cassidy crawls to the corner where the champagne bottle remained from the chaos earlier. She grabs it and Ikiro turns around to Cassidy, but Cassidy turns and smashes the bottle over the head of Ikiro Yoshida. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Cassidy smashing that bottle over Ikiro’s face!”

Knots: “That’ll get rid of him! There’s glass all over the ring though!”

Sharper: “Cassidy somehow fighting through all of this by herself with Ace forced to the back.”

She then staggers around as Aaron Demitra tries to kick some of the glass out of the ring and walks over to Sienna and grabs her, but Sienna turns and rolls her up with an inside cradle. Demitra turns and counts.

Cassidy kicks out in time. She turns and starts to get up and Sienna nails her with a forearm and then another and another. She grabs Cassidy and goes to fire her into the ropes. Cassidy spins through and sends Sienna in. She bounces off and Cassidy hits a drop toe hold. She gets up and hits an elbow drop to the back of Sienna’s head. Sienna rolls over. Cassidy turns and runs over to Syren and stomps her in the face. She turns around and grabs Sienna. She starts to lift her up. She then scoops her up and slams her down. Cassidy turns and exits to the apron before climbing up to the top rope.

Sharper: “Cassidy takes down the champion. Now scaling the turnbuckle.”

Knots: “Syren’s down. Take your chance!”

Cassidy gets to the top rope, but Sienna starts to get up and turns and runs over and grabs Cassidy before press slamming her off the top rope. The crowd ohs and Cassidy rolls over in pain. At this point, we see officials starting to get Crowe and Ikiro away from the ringside area and to the back. We see Jack Parker and Dante coming out from the back, but officials stop them too. Sienna then lunges at Cassidy as she gets up and nails her with a jumping crescent kick. She turns around and walks over to Syren, who suddenly gets up and nails her with a clothesline. The crowd boos. Syren looks around and then turns and grabs Sienna, but the crowd erupts in cheers as we see a figure hopping the barricade. They then turn and slide into the ring, revealing themselves to be Blake Mason!

Sharper: “Blake Mason! He’s in the ring!”

Knots: “Is he not fired?! Is he back?!”

Sharper: “Security’s focused on Ikiro, Crowe and members of the Network!”

Blake then turns and hoists Syren up and turns and Blake hoists her up and hits the Blake Mason Experience! The crowd erupts in cheers. Blake then looks around before turning and seeing Sienna getting up. Sienna turns to Blake and smirks only for Blake to hoist her up. The crowd roars again and Blake turns and hits her with the Blake Mason Experience!

Sharper: “BME for Syren! BME for Sienna?!”

Knots: “The champion…Syren…is he cheering for Cassidy?! Cassidy beat him for the title shot!”

Blake then turns and moves to Cassidy. He turns and rolls out of the ring. Cassidy looks around and then shrugs before diving onto Sienna. As she hooks the leg, we see LEO hopping the guardrail and sliding into the ring.

LEO breaks it up. The crowd boos. Cassidy rolls off and LEO gets a stomp in before Blake slides into the ring. He then gets up and LEO turns around and goes for a hard right, but Blake blocks it and nails him with a hard right and then another and another. LEO nails him in the ribs and gets a couple of shots in. Blake then charges at him and tackles him up and over the top rope to the floor. Cassidy grabs at the ropes, still the best condition of everyone in the back. The crowd roars as Blake and LEO hit the floor. A few officials run over to them, trying to get them away from the ring. At this point, we see Ravyn Taylor, who is coming through the crowd and hopping the guardrail. She slides into the ring as Cassidy sees her. She runs over and grabs Ravyn and clubs her in the back.

Sharper: “The entire roster in some way involved in this match. World Championship in the balance. Who’s in charge too!”

Knots: “And Cassidy fighting for her title hopes. Now against Ravyn Taylor!”

Sharper: “And people are coming through the crowd, knowing security, or our officials, are trying to maintain some order in this. We don’t know who is motivating that though!”

Cassidy nails Ravyn again and again before Cassidy turns to run into the ropes for some speed, but Ravyn pulls her down by her hair. Cassidy rolls over, holding her head in pain and turns and Ravyn then grabs her and turns and runs her shoulder first into the steel ringpost. Ravyn turns around and sees Sienna and Syren both getting up and Ravyn turns to Sienna and stomps her in the back and then again. At this point, we see Dante McCaffery running through the crowd and with something on his hand. He hops the barricade as Blake and LEO keep trying to fight as they’re forced to the back. The Network ends their fight before we see Max Kane run out and just tackle them because he can.

Sharper: “Dante McCaffery, looking to keep the Network’s client happy, coming through the crowd.”

Knots: “Kane! Max Kane out of nowhere in the entrance way!”

Kane rolls through as Dante slides in. Ravyn stomps at Sienna before Dante slides in and looks up at her. Ravyn smirks before Dante turns to Syren as she gets up. Dante turns and stomps her in the back of the head and then again. Ravyn turns and lunges at him and goes low to duck a hard right from the right hand of Dante, which has brass knuckles on it. She stops and turns before Dante goes for a hard right. Ravyn ducks and stomps Sienna again. Dante then smirks before he nails Syren in the ribs as she gets up with a hard right. Ravyn then turns around and grabs Dante and goes for the Evolutionary Synthesis. Dante throws her off. He goes for a hard right, before we see Marie Jones running down from the back. The crowd boos as she runs down. A few yards behind her is Kimberly Williams. Marie slides into the ring as Kim tries to stop Marie, but she enters and Ravyn falls back as Marie runs in and nails Dante with a hard clothesline. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Marie now.”

Knots: “And we know why. Syren and Ravyn claim that if Syren wins tonight, Marie gets a shot.”

Sharper: “Never mind that Katya being in power is good for her, but Kim is trying to get her reconsider!”

Ravyn is in the ring as Marie turns and stomps away on Dante as Sienna rolls over to the ropes. Cassidy starts to slowly get up as Syren coughs, holding her ribs and is in the opposite corner. Ravyn then turns and stomps Sienna in the face and then again before turning and grabbing Cassidy and throwing her down. Just then, the crowd erupts in cheers as Donovan Kayl, Giovanni Aries and Christy Matthews run out from the back.

Sharper: “Here come reinforcements! Thank God! Giovanni Aries! Donovan Kayl! Christy Matthews!”

Knots: “Fighting against the Lizard King. Kayl said he’d have everyone’s back. And here we are.”

We cut backstage to see CHBK, Alexander Crowe, Ruby Amarant, Kandis and Scarlet Grey, holding off Owen Cruze, Chris Cannon, Angelica Jones, James Evans and Konrad Raab. The Network is brawling with them too and we see Blake Mason, Ikiro Yoshida and LEO also in the melee along with the Truelove Twins and Ace Marshall.

Sharper: “Pandemonium backstage!”

In the ring, the crowd erupts in cheers as Kim turns and rolls into the ring. Ravyn turns as Christy enters the ring and she runs over and grabs at Ravyn. Giovanni enters and goes for Marie and Kim turns and grabs him and clubs him in the back and then again. Kayl grabs Kim and spins her around and forearms her in the jaw as the crowd roars. Kayl fights with Kim as Marie and Giovanni trade blows. Ravyn shoves Christy back and rolls out of the ring. Dante rolls out too as Kayl and Kim go through the ropes to the floor. Marie grabs Giovanni and Giovanni jumps up and hits a high knee, they go up and over to the floor. Christy then spins around and sees Sienna getting up and promptly grabs her only to immediately hit her with the Happily Never After. The crowd ohs and looks on shocked. Syren looks out as Cassidy rolls over and Christy grabs her and promptly nails her with a Happily Never After too.

Sharper: “What the hell?! Christy Matthews just spiked Sienna and then Cassidy!”

Knots: “I thought she wanted to get hands on Ravyn?!”

The crowd ohs and boos as Syren dives over and crawls over, throwing herself onto Cassidy. Aaron Demitra just looks at this, knowing he can’t do anything and just drops down to count as Christy turns and baseball slides Kayl in the back, knocking him down.

Sharper: “Damn it! No!”

The crowd boos as Syren rolls off, smiling. Giovanni rolls into the ring. Christy grabs Syren and pulls her out as the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and NEW SCW World Champion…Syren!”

The crowd boos as Christy helps Syren up. Syren turns to her before Aaron Demitra is handed the World Title. He walks across, before we see Donovan Kayl start to get up and Kim grabs the World Championship for Syren. Ravyn looks at her before Syren snaps at her for the World Title.

Kim: “Relax…Geez!”

Kim then hands her the title. Syren holds it over her head as she backs away.

Sharper: “Syren is a seven time World Champion…Katya is now in charge for the next four weeks.”

Knots: “And all thanks to Christy Matthews who has re-sided with Dark Fantasy? What the hell?!”

Sharper: “Anyone else feeling some déjà vu?”

Knots: “Just with bigger stakes…and now they’re holding the balance of power.”

Syren steps back, holding the World Title as Giovanni Aries stands in the ring. Sienna Swann glares as she moves back to the corner. The scene slowly fades to black…
