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.

Mr. D then turns out the light and steps out of the office, closing the door and leaving the shot in darkness.


“[This is Our] House” by In Flames plays as the Retribution logo comes up on the screen. The logo remains on the screen for a few moments.

 

“Now, Supreme Championship Wrestling presents Retribution 2019!”

 

A few moments pass before we cut to the inside of the United Center in Chicago, Illinois as the crowd cheers and pyro shoots out from the stage for several moments. The display ends as the spotlights start to circle the arena. The cameras cut to the Tactical Warfare cage that hangs over the ring before cutting to a shot of the two rings and then showing more shots of the crowd.

 

Sharper: “On a night where the fate of SCW is on the line, four teams of four battle in two rings and one cage, Tactical Warfare! Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside and Jon…this is a huge night.”

 

Knots: “Never have there been such high stakes Sharper. Everything is on the line!”

 

The camera continues to show the cage from below now as we cut to the stage.

 

Aaron Blackbourne vs. Tommy Valentine vs. Katie Steward

 

The arena lights dim down and pink light shines on the stage. “Queen” by Loren Gray plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold ring robe and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length. Katie walks around the ring and up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

Sharper: “Katie Steward proved a few weeks ago even in defeat against Owen Cruze that she can certainly still go in the ring, but the bigger story she’s been focused on is the sheer amount of matches she’s had lately where she lost without being involved in the final decision.”

Knots: “The battle royal where Blackbourne got his impending Adrenaline Title opportunity, a four way not too long after that… she’s come dangerously close in both scenarios and clearly, she’s getting fed up with not being able to be the one getting the win at the very end. Maybe tonight will be the night she changes that.”

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!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until 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.

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

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

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverbrates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start booing.

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 that are now booing loudly, though some pockets of fans can still be heard chanting his name. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards with his palms upwards, he then stops and then shakes his head before smirking and shrugging. Fireworks then shoot out at the top of the ramp in a burst before he resumes walking down to the ring. As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds as he moves on down the ramp, the smirk still on his face before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, simply nodding to the fans. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas then stands motionless in the corner before waiting for his opponent.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine is fresh off of a stint as TV Champion as well as trying to get under the skin of Damian Angel for weeks, but clearly one thing he’s not too happy with is the idea of someone like Blackbourne trying to steal the spotlight from him.”

Knots: “Outside of that TV Title reign, it feels a bit like Tommy’s had a drought and the frustrations have slowly been boiling over in recent weeks.”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. After a moment, there's a bit of confusion as what sounds like slow, somber piano music begins to play over the sound system and the Tron comes to life with what clearly looks like grainy home movie footage from some time back, depicting the fun two young boys are having doing a little bit of backyard wrestling on their trampoline. This video jumps between more clips that make it clear one of these boys is a much younger Aaron Blackbourne, though the other boy does look a lot like him as well. As more and more clips pass by and they grow older along the way, one final chord from the piano cuts the video off, only for the Tron to be replaced with a static image of the other boy as an adult, punctuated by the words "In Your Memory Tonight, Andrew Blackbourne"

The familiar distorted sounds of “10 Inch Nails” by Audiomachine kick in at this point, smoke having engulfed the stage in the darkness as white lights pulse in time with the music. Slowly, through the smoke we see a figure seemingly materialize out of nowhere before slowly walking to the edge of the stage, a spotlight coming on over him to reveal himself as the one and only Aaron Blackbourne. Whatever attire he's clad in for the night is currently hidden beneath a black hooded robe-like attire that wrapped around his body, but with no sleeves we do get to see that he's foregone his usual arm sleeves for the night to leaves his arms exposed, revealing countless symbols of Japanese and Hebrew origin with various different meanings painted onto them. We are also able to see his face, where we notice that tonight he's included color contacts that have made his sclera pitch black and his irises a blinding white, along with a half-mask covering his nose and mouth that resembles the bottom half of a demonic samurai mask.

Blackbourne slowly turns his gaze to the sky as he makes his way down to the ring, the fans watching in awe as he passes while also silently showing respect for his intent for the night. As he reaches ringside he looks for a moment to do his usual leap up to the top turnbuckle, but stops himself and instead slowly turns to look at the static image in memoriam of his brother still sitting on the Tron before pointing to it, the fans cheering and applauding in respect before he violently whips back around and slides into the ring, slowly rising to a stand as the lights return to normal and his eyes narrow into a glare befitting what he's become tonight. He carefully removes the robe and sets it in his corner, revealing his usual black tights, black knee pads and black wrestling boots with kick pads albeit completely plain tonight, although it's revealed the rest of his body is painted in the same scattered and varied symbols adorning his arms. He opts to leave the half mask on as he silently waits in the corner, ready to battle.

Sharper: “Blackbourne donning the war paint of his creative demons again tonight, but this time he has a more specific purpose. I found out earlier today that his brother Andrew took his own life fairly recently, and he’s determined to pay tribute to his memory with his performance here tonight.”

Knots: “That’s never a good way to go and we at SCW sincerely encourage you to get help if someone you know is dealing with those kinds of thoughts. I can’t begin to imagine where Aaron’s head possibly is, especially since in about a week’s time he has to switch gears and somehow try to take a title belt away from Regan Street!”

The bell rings as all three competitors stare each other down. After a moment, though, Tommy and Katie both go from looking at one another to staring down Blackbourne. The painted competitor keeps glaring at them as he cautiously takes a few steps out from his corner, and he ends up ducking when Valentine suddenly charges at him with a clothesline! Tommy ends up in the corner, but Blackbourne can’t keep his focus there as Steward closes in now and he stuns her with a couple of forearm strikes to the face. He turns and charges in to smash Tommy in the corner with a clothesline of his own before pulling him out of the corner, but Katie lands a hard forearm smash of her own across the back of his neck! Blackbourne ends up in the corner now as Katie grabs the top rope and drives her foot into his throat, choking him as the referee admonishes her but can’t really do anything to stop it. She finally stops, but only to back off as Valentine comes flying in with a spinning heel kick that sandwiches the creative soul in the corner! Blackbourne drops to his hands and knees before the former world champions begin clubbing and stomping away at him to the jeers of the fans.

Sharper: “This is just a disgusting sight. Blackbourne just wanted to use tonight to pay tribute to his fallen brother and test himself against two longtime veterans, but Katie and Tommy clearly only see this as a means to upstage them!”

Knots: “I’d like to think Aaron knew what he might be getting into tonight, but knowing what I know now, I honestly can’t begin to guess where his head’s at.”

The two former world champions continue to try and stomp Blackbourne’s body into the dirt before mercifully stopping. Tommy moves to start climbing to the top turnbuckle with something big in mind, and Katie takes the opportunity to roll Aaron over and make a cover!

1!

Just before the referee can count to two, Valentine suddenly climbs down and stomps Katie in the back of the head! She starts to rise while angrily yelling at Tommy before going for a right hand, which he ducks and catches her arm before using the momentum to drop her with a russian leg sweep! He looks down at her while shaking his head before turning his attention back to Blackbourne. Tommy pulls him back to his feet before going to throw him out of the ring, putting Blackbourne between the two rings for the evening. He stomps away some more, slowly forcing the creative soul into the small gap between the rings to remove him from the equation. Once it looks like Blackbourne’s disappeared, Valentine turns his attention back to a rising Steward and grabs her for what looks like a t-bone suplex, but Katie lands a few elbows to the side of his head to slip free before connecting with a jawbreaker!

Knots: “So much for that ‘world champions’ alliance.”

Sharper: “Every wrestler for themselves as only one person can win this triple threat match.”

Valentine slowly gets back to his feet, clutching at his jaw and simply looking angrier now. He charges at Katie, but she manages to duck the crescent kick he throws before giving him a receipt for the earlier russian leg sweep! She can’t help but smirk to herself as she pulls Tommy up in a headlock and grinds him down for a moment before going for a bulldog, but Valentine manages to slip free and sends her running off the ropes, and as she rebounds he floors her with a spinning clothesline! Tommy goes for the cover.

Steward kicks out! Tommy shoots the referee an annoyed glare before he pulls her back to her feet and makes an attempt at a twist of fate, but Katie manages to shove him away! Valentine puts on the brakes before turning and charging at her, but Steward turns his momentum against him with a huge hip toss that sends him out of the ring! Tommy somehow is able to hook his arms under the top rope, causing him to essentially land bridging across the top ropes of the two rings, but despite cringing in pain from this and the rebounding he tries to shrug it off… until Blackbourne suddenly comes from out of nowhere, springboarding off the adjacent top rope of the second ring and landing an elbow drop that crumples Valentine between them!

Sharper: “Blackbourne out of nowhere! He found his way out from between the rings and just brought a bit of that creativity to collapse the bridge Tommy’s body was making between the rings!”

Knots: “Almost like a demon striking from the shadows when you least expect it!”

Valentine is folded in half in a very awkward-looking position on the aprons as Blackbourne slowly rolls into the ring being used for this contest, only for Steward to immediately set upon him with clubbing blows across the back. She irish whips him across the ring, but before he hits the corner Aaron manages to use the momentum to slingshot himself up and over the top rope and onto the apron. Katie charges at him, only to eat a shoulder to her gut. As she’s doubled over, Blackbourne slingshots himself over the top rope and rolls off Katie’s back to land on his feet before catching her in the back as she rises with a dropkick that sends her through the ropes and out to the floor. She manages to get back to her feet but notices too late that Blackbourne is running off the opposite ropes to build momentum before soaring out of the ring with a suicide somersault senton that drives her into the rampway as the fans go nuts!

Sharper: “Blackbourne soaring out of the ring in spectacular fashion and crashing right into Katie!”

Knots: “If there were any doubts about where Aaron’s mind is tonight, that goes a long way in erasing them!”

Blackbourne takes a moment to get his bearings as he gets back to his feet, his eyes turning up to the lights with a smile as the fans cheer him on. He grabs Katie and throws her into the ring before following suit, where he brings her back to her feet onto to take her over with a dragon suplex, sticking the bridge!

1!

Tommy Valentine suddenly comes flying in with a moonsault that breaks it up and gives Blackbourne a painful receipt for his own bout of ‘bridge-collapsing’ earlier! Valentine gets to his knees, gritting his teeth as he’s clearly still in a lot of pain, but he grabs Aaron by the head and uses him to help both men back to their feet while he angrily says something to the creative soul that the camera can’t quite pick up. He drills Aaron between the eyes with a right hand, only for Blackbourne to suddenly respond with a step-up enzuigiri! Tommy staggers back but manages to stay on his feet before throwing a kick at Aaron, who takes advantage of his daze to catch it. Valentine shows his bluff, though, as he responds with an enzuigiri of his own! Blackbourne stumbles back, looking like he’s about to fall over, but he suddenly spins and drills Valentine with a discus elbow smash! Tommy is knocked back into the ropes, only to rebound and suddenly run through Aaron with a spear! The fans can’t help but cheer and applaud the back and forth between the two men.

Sharper: “Blackbourne and Valentine going back and forth, trying to one-up each other.”

Knots: “There’s a lot of similarities between them and Tommy at least feels there’s enough to justify trying to destroy the kid.”

Both men slowly end up inadvertently helping one another to their feet as they lock up and jockey for positioning, trying to gain any opening available to get the upper hand. This is suddenly interrupted by a Goddess Scream that catches them both off guard, and also leaves them open for Katie to capitalize with a double bulldog! The fans boo as Katie stands tall and mockingly bows before lining both men up right next to each other so she can hit them both with a standing moonsault double knee drop! Katie tries to pin both men simultaneously.

1!

2!

Valentine and Blackbourne both kick out! Katie lets out a scream of frustration before she grabs Tommy and throws him through the ropes between the two rings, leaving him to roll into the other one. She measures a slow-rising Blackbourne before going to throw some kind of kick, but she stops herself and backs off when Aaron suddenly leaps up like he’s looking to catch her with the Unchained Creativity! When Katie realizes she’s been faked out, she furiously charges at him only for Blackbourne to suddenly lift her onto his shoulders before dropping into a sitout argentine backbreaker!

Knots: “I’ve never known Blackbourne to do a move like that before! Usually, that’s reserved for guys twice his size!”

Sharper: “I’ve heard that some of Blackbourne’s demons come with their own moves at times too, but up until tonight we haven’t really seen it employed.”

Steward slowly gets to her feet as Blackbourne measures her before hitting a hard running front dropkick that sends her crashing into the corner! As she slumps to a seated position, Aaron looks up and points to the heavens before running and bouncing out of the opposite corner, but instead of the double knees that normally complete the Creative Process, he instead comes barreling in with a cannonball! The fans are roaring as he pulls Katie out of the corner and starts to signal for something, only to notice too late as Tommy springboards off the top rope from the other ring and soars an incredible distance to catch him with The Trailblazer! The fans can’t help but applaud that as he goes for the cover.

1!

2!

Blackbourne gets a shoulder up! Valentine is undeterred as he pulls Aaron closer to one of the corners before he slowly ascends to the top rope, measuring him before he leaps off and lands with the Force of Nature! As he rises briefly to capitalize, he’s suddenly blindsided by The Botox Injection from Steward! Tommy hits the mat and Katie goes to cover Blackbourne now.

1!

2!

Blackbourne gets a shoulder up again!

Sharper: “If changing up the Creative Process for tonight and kicking out after an incredible Trailblazer and taking the full brunt of that Force of Nature doesn’t tell you how bad this kid wants it tonight, I don’t think anything will!”

Knots: “Katie and Tommy have thrown just about everything but the kitchen sink at him at this point, not to mention trying to take out each other in the process!”

Steward pounds the mat in frustration before signaling that it’s time to end this. She picks Blackbourne up and slowly begins positioning him for Save the Queen, but he just drops back to his knees. She tries to haul him up into position more forcefully the second time, but this leaves her wide open for Valentine to Cross the T! Tommy goes and quickly kicks at Aaron until he’s rolled out onto the apron before he starts measuring Steward, stomping his foot as she slowly tries to get back to her feet. He doesn’t notice Blackbourne slowly pulling himself up on the apron and using the ropes to support himself. Once Katie’s finally right where he wants her, he runs past her and bounces off the ropes looking for the Beggar's Throne, but Katie manages to pull away and he only stomps the mat! He staggers a bit, looking like he might’ve tweaked his knee from the missed stomp, leaving him open for Steward to grab his arms from behind with the Platinum Blonde being her intention, but Tommy suddenly slips free and hits the mat as Blackbourne suddenly comes flying in and blasts Katie between the eyes with a springboard Unchained Creativity! She goes tumbling out of the ring and TJ Johnson immediately goes to check on her. Blackbourne turns and catches Tommy charging at him, hoisting him over his shoulder and holding him there for a moment before looking up to the sky and yelling out through his mask “This is for you Andrew!” before dropping Valentine with an air raid crash neckbreaker! He makes the cover, hooking the leg deep and nodding his head with each count.

1!

3!

The bell rings as “10 Inch Nails” by Audiomachine hits again and Blackbourne slowly rises to his feet, though he clearly looks like he took a beating. The referee raises his arm high.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Aaron Blackbourne!”

Sharper: “A huge victory for Blackbourne here tonight and definitely an incredible way to honor his brother’s memory!”

Knots: “He definitely needed the momentum from this one, because he’s going to have to really be in top form if he wants to try and dethrone the Hellcat for that Adrenaline Title!”

Blackbourne slowly drops to his knees and points to the sky as the fans cheer and applaud him, the camera able to catch a few tears slowly falling from his eyes. The referee checks on Tommy while TJ helps Katie to the back, who looks extremely angry that she’s once again lost without being involved in the final decision.


Backstage we see Katya walking into the locker room of Dark Fantasy with Ravyn Taylor, Syren and CHBK inside. The crowd boos upon seeing them.

 

Katya: “Are you ready for tonight?”

 

Syren: “Totally. We are. But are you?”

 

Katya: “Look, I’d told you…I wanted Marie on this team-“

 

Syren: “She’s great. That’s not the issue. It’s her sister.”

 

Katya: “It’s not ideal. Especially given everything, but she is loyal to her sister. Just like you are loyal to each other.”

 

Syren: “I don’t want her costing us everything we’ve worked to accomplish!”

 

Ravyn: “Zoe…we’ve come up with a couple of plans. We’ll make sure that we’re calling the shots tonight. And at the end, nothing is going to change for us…except we know it will be permanent.”

 

CHBK: “Exactly…”

 

Syren: “Would’ve been nicer to have Xander in there. His size-“

 

CHBK: “And we’ve have the same problem just without a clear tie to us.”

 

Syren sighs.

 

Ravyn: “Unfortunately, he’s right. Either way, when we’re all in there, we make sure to end it fast and then we can celebrate and deal with any problems after.”

 

The crowd boos as we cut away.


Peyton Rice vs. Scarlet Grey

 

Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix) begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. After a moment where nothing seems to happen, Scarlet Grey suddenly rises from the floor standing on a stone pillar covered in a gorgeous red and gold cape with a hood, looking down and on one knee until the pillar completely rises to the top that is where she stands up and lifts her head. This is when a white spotlight cuts through the crimson veil down onto her as the song suddenly fades out, only to switch to the familiar tune of Exodus. Spreading her arms and unhooding herself revealing her truly perfect face and her crimson hair tied up in a very familiar ponytail, the camera flashes light up the arena when she then drops her cape showing off her perfect sexy body clad in her own spin on something familiar: red and gold trim vinyl short tights with the cut off top and only her right arm sleeved, knee pads and boots with shin guards and "Perfection" written on her butt. She poses for a few moments with a smirk while most of the crowd jeers before she leaps off the pillar and lands on her feet at the edge of the stage.
 
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at 135 lbs., from parts unknown, Scarlet Grey!”
 
Scarlet slowly walks down to the ring while purposely swaying her hips. She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it to show off every curve of her truly perfect figure. Scarlet then climbs the turnbuckles and raises her arms as the lights return to normal, basking in her own amusement at what she's doing before she climbs down and waits in her corner.
 
Sharper: “This is the most disrespectful and tasteless stunt I have ever seen, and I have seen plenty. Mimicking Kelcey Wallace’s entrance and gear, this time she took it a step further, what is she trying to prove? Scarlet wants to get into Peyton Rice’s head, the star protégé of Kelcey and close friend to the Cannon’s. If Chris was involved in the Blake match tonight, you know that he would have something to say.”
 
Knots: “This is sickening, I agree, and it will backfire on her. Scarlet is a coward, she knows that Kelcey can’t defend herself, if she could, this wouldn’t be happening, but Peyton can. I saw Peyton backstage earlier, she was not smiling, she wasn’t joking around, she was focused on this match and if this did not give her more of a reason to win, I don’t know what will.”
 
The arena goes dark before a lone spotlight shines on the entrance, suddenly the opening beats of “All the Days" by Mammoth play throughout the arena as the beautiful Peyton Rice walks out in wrestling gear and jacket. Her long dark blonde hair hanging down. She looks around at the crowd before getting to one knee and making a line across the entrance, she crosses her arms and lowers her head for a moment before standing up and pointing to the ring as the crowd roars.
 
She stares right at Scarlet Grey who smirks and places her leg on the top turnbuckle slowly lifting her kneepad over like Kelcey used to do. Peyton starts to walk to the ring with conviction, stopping and pulling off some high fiving the fans and taking selfies with them. She continues to head to the ring soaking up the reaction before hopping into the apron and pointing the crowd before flipping over the top rope as the crowd roars and stepping on the second rope, raising her arms and looking up, she then thanks the fans while being announced….
 
Phillips: “From Glendale, Arizona! Weighing in at 115 pounds, here is “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”
 
The crowd roars as she flips from the second rope on to her feet and does a cartwheel. She takes off her jacket and ruffles her hair a little, standing in the corner staring at Scarlet….
 
Sharper: “Look at the eyes of Peyton Rice, we have never seen this young woman so intent, so focused. She is always smiling, a pleasure to be around, a breath of fresh air but like we talked earlier, this has become personal.”
 
Knots: “Very personal and Scarlet is going all out with this imitation, now doing the Knee Pads like Kelcey used to, this is too much and it will be….. wait….
 
As Scarlet again places her other leg on the top turnbuckle and starts pulling her knee up, the referee is waiting to call for the bell but Peyton runs across the ring and dropkicks Scarlet right into the turnbuckle and ropes, falling behind as the referee calls for the bell, Peyton rolls up the stumbling Scarlet….
 
1!
 
2!
 
3.. No! Scarlet Kicks Out!
 
Sharper: “That was almost over in record time!”
 
Knots: “Peyton is not backing down, look at her!”
 
Peyton starts drilling forearm after forearm on Scarlet, backing her up to the ropes, she then jumps up and Monkey Flips her as Scarlet lands on her face, the crowd roars. Peyton runs across the ropes and basement dropkicks her before hopping up and hitting the ropes and performing a second rope moonsault, she hooks the leg for the cover….
 
1!
 
2!
 
Kick Out By Scarlet!
 
Sharper: “Peyton is not letting up and her blinding speed is a sight to watch!”
 
Knots: “She wants to finish this quick, show Scarlet that she is far from perfect but needs to be careful, one mistake and Scarlet can take her down.”
 
Peyton grabs Scarlet, she unloads with more forearms before whipping her into the turnbuckle, Peyton executes a springboard elbow, and then a bulldog. She turns Scarlet over and drives her forearm into her face for the pin….
 
1!

Scarlet gets her shoulder up!
 
Peyton wastes no time and picks up Scarlet, locks her in a front facelock and runs up the ropes to hit Bear Down but Scarlet pushes her off, Peyton lands on her feet and runs at her but Scarlet lifts her up and strikes Peyton with a European Forearm snapping Peyton’s head back and landing hard as the crowd boos...
 
Sharper: “Did she…..”
 
Knots: “… she did, Scarlet hit one of Kelcey’s signatures on Peyton and turned the momentum of this match. Peyton his hard….”
 
Sharper: “She could have whiplash.”
 
Scarlet smirks and starts kicking the downed Peyton, she drops a knee on her chest, before seductively crawling on Peyton and tapping on her nose, she then kisses Peyton on the lips and kips them locked as Peyton struggles to break free, the referee makes the quick count…
 
1…

Scarlet breaks the kiss and pulls Peyton up by the hair, she smirks, locks her leg and performs a Perfect-10 Plex, bridging for the cover…
 
1!
 
2!
 
3… No! Peyton Kicks Out!
 
Sharper: “I cannot believe I am watching this. The absolute disrespect, she is trying to humiliate Peyton and even tried to choke her out with a kiss?”
 
Knots: “Scarlet has no limits to this Sharper. I mean, she is nothing like Kelcey, yet she is using all her moves. Peyton get up.”
 
The crowd boos. Scarlet looks down at Peyton, picking her up by the hair, she slaps her a few times, whipping her into the turnbuckle, she runs at her with a vicious clothesline, sliding under the ropes, grabbing Peyton by the legs and dropping her to the mats, sliding and pulling her right into the corner post, crotch first. Scarlet then places both of her hands on Peyton’s butt and starts to caress her cheeks….
 
Sharper: “Okay, this is enough!”
 
Knots: “Scarlet is the luckiest person here tonight…. I mean this is horrible!”
 
Sharper: “Come on Jon!”
 
Scarlet slaps Peyton’s cheeks before sliding back into the ring, picking up Peyton by the hair, hitting the Hug and Kiss. Scarlet smirks and covers Peyton holding her face down….
 
1!
 
2!
 
Shoulder Up By Peyton!
 
Scarlet looks up at the referee and hits her hands together telling him to count faster. Scarlet gets up, she drags up Peyton by her hair and throws her against the ropes, Peyton bounces back and Scarlet goes for a Powerslam but Peyton flows through and lands on her feet, Scarlet turns right into a Hurricarana and pin combination by Rice…

Kick Out by Scarlet!
 
The crowd oh’s as Scarlet gets back up, Peyton runs at her and goes for a step up Enzinguiri but Scarlet ducks, Peyton lands on the mat, she then gets up only for Scarlet to run against the ropes and hit the Perfect Fate! The one arm swinging neckbreaker as the crowd boos loudly….
 
Knots: “Oh no, the Perfect Fate!”
 
Sharper: “Kelcey won world Championships with that move! She just hit it on Peyton and the young Rice is not moving!”
 
Knots: “Come on!”
 
Scarlet smiles and looks at everyone saying, “That was Perfect!” She drops on Peyton and hooks the leg for the cover just like Kelcey would. The referee drops down for the cover…
 
1!
 
2!
 
3… No! Peyton gets her shoulder up!
 
Scarlet looks up shocked. The referee holds up two fingers while she holds up three. Scarlet gets up and walks over to the corner, pointing at the palm of her hand, the referee boos as she looks to hot the Perfect Ending, she looks into the camera and blows a kiss to Chris Cannon….
 
Sharper: “There is no end to this by Scarlet. She has been hitting moves from Kelcey’s arsenal and now she looks to end this match with the Perfect Ending, she hits this, it’s over.”
 
Knots: “She is adding insult to injury but why? Can she even execute this? Peyton is in trouble!”
 
Peyton slowly gets up, she turns right as Scarlet runs at her to strike Rice with the Shotei but Peyton ducks, Scarlet turns and gets kicked in the gut, Rice hooks her head and runs against the ropes hitting the Bear Down Tornado DDT! The crowd roars as Peyton doesn’t go for the cover, instead she hops on the ropes, jumping to the very top, looking out into the crowd and then to Scarlet….
 
She screams “This is for Kelcey!”
 
Jumping off the ropes and hitting the Pretty Girl Drop, Corkscrew Shooting Star Press as the crowd jumps off their chairs…..
 
Sharper: “What a move and Peyton Rice struck fast! Is this one over!”
 
Knots: “It hit it’s mark! The Pretty Girl Drop named after one of Kelcey’s move! Is this enough!”
 
Peyton hooks the leg as the referee drops down for the cover….
 
1!
 
2!
 
3!
 
The bell rings as Peyton sits up and screams. The crowd roars as the referee raises her hand, she starts to yell at the downed Scarlet, she will NEVER be Kelcey Wallace! The crowd roars louder….
 
Phillips: “The winner of the match… Peyton Rice!”
 
All the Days” by Mammoth plays throughout the arena, Peyton falls to one knee as Scarlet starts to stir. She then gets up and climbs to the second rope, raising her hands in victory. Scarlet starts to slowly roll out of the ring….
 
Sharper: “What an incredible victory for that young woman right there, she fought for the honor of Kelcey and she succeeded. Scarlet pushed her to limits she didn’t know she had. Peyton had to fight hard and it was personal, a lessoned learned by this young woman and we are watching her mature into her role here in SCW.”
 
Knots: “Huge win for her, she was able to take down Scarlet and do it wrestling her game. Scarlet dipped too many times in the Kelcey Wallace arsenal, she threw herself out there, took a gamble and failed. Peyton’s quickness did it. At least she was able to grab her butt, Sharper.”
 
Sharper: “You’re too much Jon.”
 
Peyton points to the crowd and continues to celebrate, turning and looking right at Scarlet who the referee helps to the back….



Backstage, Marie Jones is seen in her wrestling gear. She places a blouse she was presumably wearing into her bag as we then see Kimberly Williams jump into the screen. The crowd cheers seeing her. Marie turns.

 

Marie: “Kim!”

 

Kim: “So? What do you think?”

 

Marie: “You…you’re wearing the same attire as me!”

 

We then pan out to show Kim’s full attire where she is wearing identical attire.

 

Marie: “I thought we were past this after everything that happened-“

 

Kim: “We are. This is extraordinary circumstances! The world could end….okay, maybe not. But SCW could be uh….Classy? Angelic? On drugs? I don’t know. Whatever. You think Katya’s your pick. Fine.”

 

Marie: “Wait…did Ravyn put you up to this-“

 

Kim just glares at Marie.

 

Marie: “Alright…fair point.”

 

Kim: “You know when they’re going to put you out. I’m in the dark. So this is my way of watching your back. And I will do anything to help you. And if this gives us an edge, with people wondering if it’s you or me they’re facing…then we’re going to do it. Because if Marie thinks Katya is going to give her the best chance to succeed…then I’m going to give Marie the best chance to succeed.”

 

Marie just smiles a bit.

 

Marie: “Thank you.”

 

Kim nods.

 

Kim: “So want to get in some pre-match flirting?”

 

Marie: “Kim…”

 

Kim: “Hey, it’s not stabbing!”

 

Marie rolls her eyes as we cut away.


Dawn Lohan vs. Sam Raine vs. Alexis Quinne

 

The eyes all focus on the stage as A Stranger I Remain hits over the P.A System. The lights begin to flash orange, red 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 with her head lowered, a black hat with an orange, red and black Poncho with gray and brown pants. Alexis lifts her her head up and we see she's wearing a black and orange Guy Fawkes mask with El Rudo's mask in her left hand. Quinne turns around and peers to the crowd. She then heads down to the ring.
 
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a triple threat match…introducing first… From San Francisco, California Pint Sized Awesomeness...ALEXIS QUINNE!”
 
Alexis walks down to the ring, her head lowered. She's looking around the ring. The camera does a full rotation as Quinne walks past it. Quinne stops mid-way. She hunches her back as she quickly walks down the ring. Eventually, Alexis jumps on the apron and enters the ring through the bottom rope. Alexis then ascends up the top turnbuckle and unmask herself. Alexis this spits out a red mist of sorts in the air, catching the crowd by surprise. Alexis takes off her hat and licks some of the mist from her mouth before she flashes the crowd the peace sign before shortly turning it into a fist. As she holds out her fist, she twist her head around the arena. Alexis jumps off and crouches in the corner, looking around as she grits her teeth. She places Rudo's mask on the apron as she grabs the bottom ropes with her two hands.
 
"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. 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. She makes her way to the ring steps. When she reaches the top of the steps, she walks along the apron. Grabbing the top rope she pulls back, using the momentum she propels herself forward over the top rope into the ring. She immediately springs up. She walks to the turnbuckle, stands on the middle turnbuckle soaking in the atmosphere. She hops off the turnbuckle and remains in the corner until the match gets underway.
 
Phillips: “Introducing next, she is one half of Lohan Country, she is…DAWN LOHAN!!!”
 
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.
 
"Where are the people that accuse me? The ones who beat me down and bruise me...
They hide just out of sight, Can't face me in the light, They'll return but I'll be stronger..."
 
The song’s intro gives way to the chorus and as the song takes a harder edge the flashes of lighting become more violent. On the big screen the fans are treated to the iconic view of Sam as she stands in an empty as it starts to rain on her. She just looks up at the sky allowing the rain drops to pelt her face while lifting her arms up towards the sky. In the meantime, Sam along with the man that can now be identified as Woody Hoyt start to make their way down to the ring.
 
Philips: “Making her way to the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada; weighting in at one hundred and two pounds, and being accompanied to the ring by Woody Hoyt, she is… SAMANTHA RAINE!”
 
Before they start actually making their way down to the ring, Sam raises both of her hands up to her lips and kisses them, bending over towards the fans she acts like she is blowing kisses to everyone in attendance.
 
"Forget the fear it's just a crutch, That tries to hold you back...
And turn your dreams in to dust, All you need to do is just, trust...
Trust!"
 
As they reach the ring, Woody jumps up on to the apron while Sam walks up the ring stairs. He holds the ropes open so that she can climb in to the ring. Woody hops off the apron as Sam goes to the nearest turnbuckle. Which she climbs to the top and once again blows kisses to everyone in the arena.
 
Sharper: “Already SCW fans, this next match is a triple threat. Sam Raine taking on Dawn Lohan and Alexis Quinne.”
 
Knots: “All three have wanted a shot at Andrew Raynes, but tonight, they get a shot at one another.”
 
The ref calls for the bell and Alexis goes after Raine, and they begin exchanging punches. Dawn charges over, just as Raine lands a huge forearm, staggering Alexis. Raine then kicks Dawn in the midsection before delivering a forearm. Dawn staggers back just as Raine grabs her and whips her into the corner. Raine follows up with a running clothesline.

Knots: “And now she is going up top.”
 
Dawn positions herself onto the top rope. She looks down at Raine before leaping off of the top rope and connecting with a 450 Splash.
 
Knots: “A New Dawn! Dawn needs to make the cover.”
 
Sharper: “I think she took a lot of impact with that.”
 
Dawn rolls off of Raine holding her ribs. Dawn begins pulling herself toward Raine, getting to one knee only for Alexis to come out of nowhere, and connect with a superkick.

Kandis can be seen walking backstage as the crowd boos. She takes a few steps before stopping. She smirks as she walks over to a door, the office of Mr. D. She smirks as she knocks on the door and then whistles a bit before looking around. She then turns and leans in and grabs the door handle and slowly opens it. She slowly pushes the door and in and looks in. She then sighs.

 

Kandis: “Damnit…I could’ve made this night so much easier.”

 

???: “What are you doing?”

 

Kandis closes the door quickly as Kandis turns as we see Leviticus standing there.

 

Kandis: “Uh…nothing.”

 

Leviticus: “Didn’t look like nothing. And you said easy…and I don’t know if you’re talking about yourself.”

 

Kandis: “Hey…I wouldn’t go after you.”

 

Leviticus: “That hurts. And here I was going to offer you that I could sell the brand new Leviticus approved Kandis ass cushion. It’s the size of a small village but damn you’re comfy. Instead, I’d just offer to put your name on hemorrhoid cream.”

 

Kandis scoffs.

 

Kandis: “What does it matter? You’ve been gone for like nearly a year. Did you run off with the Wonderland goat?”

 

Leviticus: “No…he joined a convent. It was a weird time. I just figured that whoever wins may want some help selling their brand.”

 

Kandis laughs.

 

Kandis: “That’s only going to be the case for anyone but Katya. Katya’s done the best way of selling it. Opportunity. The people who matter are happy…and the people are watching.”

 

Leviticus: “For how long…”

 

Leviticus turns and walks off as Kandis rolls her eyes.

 

Kandis: “Some marketing genius.”

 

Kandis turns and walks off as we cut away.


Casterillo vs. “Black Ice” Konrad Raab

 

“Black Ice” by ACDC plays over the sound system. Konrad Raab comes out through the curtain as Konrad's wearing his dark blue and black mask with the same colour wrestling trousers with his nickname The Black Ice on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side, with black gloves on both of his hands.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit, taking place in ring 2. First, from Cologne, Germany, he is The Black Ice, Konrad Raab!”

He ignores the fans due to his focus on wanting to fight in the ring. He goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes before sitting down in the corner of the ring with the crowd cheering for him, having a nasty look in his eyes waiting for the match to start.

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab, you see his persona of Black Ice on display. He is ready to fight. He has been incensed by Casterillo as of late.”

 

Knots: “Casterillo doesn’t really care about anything but his mission, whatever that is. The question is whether he’s going to show up tonight.”

 

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 a single lightning strike strikes on the big screen. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine.

 

Phillips: “And his opponent, from wherever he chooses, he is Casterillo!”

 

The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is several seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He looks across at Konrad Raab.

 

Sharper: “Casterillo is here. He’s in the ring. And Raab and him have locked eyes.”

 

Knots: “So I guess he does care about this. We’ve seen him just walk out of matches, not show up just because he doesn’t care. He’s here for Raab.”

 

Sharper: “Including on Breakdown, disrespecting Glory Braddock by just leaving the match halfway through, as if he had made his point and was done with her.”

 

Knots: “Well if Raab has a choice, and he’s just pacing, the only way he’s leaving is in an ambulance!”

 

The bell sounds and the crowd roars as Raab walks out as does Casterillo and immediately Raab goes for a hard right. Casterillo ducks and spins around before nailing him with a hard right. Raab staggers back. Casterillo nails him with another shot and another before pushing him against the ropes. He goes to nail him with a hard right to the ribs, but Raab headbutts him. He nails him with a hard right and then a left to the ribs before pushing him back into the corner, letting out a yell. He then nails him with a hard right to the ribs before nailing him with repeated hard right body blows to the ribs as the referee counts.

Casterillo falls into the corner.

 

Sharper: “Konrad fighting back as Casterillo now in the corner and Konrad coming at him again.”

 

Knots: “No room to move unless you make it. Konrad’s staying close and Casterillo happy to throw down too!”

 

Konrad shoulders him in the ribs and then again and again and again. The referee counts again.

Konrad rolls over, starting to get up and staggers up and Casterillo drops down and hits a spinning sweep kick to the shins of Konrad, causing him to fall face first into the mat.

Konrad starts to swing up, trying to disrupt Casterillo as Casterillo then grabs his hands and tries to block it. Konrad then leans up and headbutts Casterillo, causing him to fall back. Both get up, resetting.

 

Sharper: “Konrad fighting out of the mount and a headbutt gets Casterillo staggered.”

He headbutts him again and then a third time. Konrad staggers back. Casterillo shakes it off and then nails Konrad with a boot. The crowd ohs as Konrad hits the mat and rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Casterillo with a boot to the face. Konrad down.”

 

Knots: “These two are just throwing hard rights, headbutts, anything. Nothing scientific about this. They’re beating the holy hell out of each other and at some point, they can’t keep going.”

 

Sharper: “Raab hitting the mat, but no cover from Casterillo. He’s far from done.”

 

Casterillo grabs Raab and drags him up and elbows him in the back of the head. Raab falls to his hands and knees and Casterillo knees him hard in the ribs. Raab rolls over. He grits his teeth and starts to get up and Casterillo snaps into the ropes behind him and runs forward, drilling Raab with a hard Thunder Run, the second one in the match. Raab rolls over. He turns and winces as Casterillo turns back and stomps him in the ribs and then again and again. He shoves Raab to the apron and then boots him in the face and then again and again. Raab falls to the floor, rolling in front of the announce tables. Casterillo backs up and then looks around as the crowd boos him.

 

Sharper: “Casterillo dumping Konrad on the floor.”

 

Knots: “Just unceremoniously booting him from the ring. Like it’s Casterillo’s.”

 

Casterillo then walks over.

 

Casterillo: “This is your chance to run, Konrad! Take it!”

 

The crowd boos as Konrad slowly gets up, his eyes, looking out ahead of him. Casterillo backs up, watching Konrad.

 

Sharper: “He wants Konrad to run.”

Raab turns and shoves the referee back. He nails Casterillo again and again before the referee grabs Raab, but Raab grabs him and turns and runs across the ring and just hip throws him over the top rope and into the other ring. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Konrad! What are you doing?”

 

Knots: “This is the Black Ice persona. He’s always been a bit hard to control. We saw that against Jason Helms years ago! But damn, Hollinsworth got height!”

 

Sharper: “Look out!”

 

Konrad turns around and Casterillo steps out and nails Konrad with the fifth Thunder Run. Casterillo then falls into the opposite corner. Konrad rolls over as we see another official running down from the back. Hollinsworth rolls over and we see another official coming out with him. The first slides into the ring and then calls for the bell. The crowd boos as the referee points to Hollinsworth and then Casterillo. The crowd boos some more.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has disqualified Konrad Raab for striking an official. As a result, your winner, Casterillo!”

 

The crowd boos some more. Casterillo just looks up and to the officials before turning to Konrad, shaking his head.

 

Casterillo: “Pathetic.”

 

Casterillo then steps through the ropes and down to the floor. Konrad starts to get up and staggers to the ropes. He snaps at Casterillo to come back. Casterillo just ignores Konrad.

 

Sharper: “Casterillo now just leaving.”

 

Knots: “He’s done. Konrad cost himself. He looks to be just done with this. He gave Konrad his match and he couldn’t control himself!”

 

Sharper: “Again, leaving on his own terms. Perhaps he wanted to do more, but the fact is that the moment that Konrad threw it away, he realized it worth it to him.”

 

Konrad pulls himself up. One of other officials stop him, but Konrad pushes him out of the way and Konrad rolls to the floor. He then starts to walk to the back. Casterillo just calmly walks to the back, ignoring the boos from the crowd and Konrad. He just continues on his way, as if done his job, and heads up the rampway, when we then see Glory Braddock walking out from the back. The crowd cheers as Glory steps forward. Casterillo looks up and smirks seeing her. Casterillo steps forward. Glory just looks at him.

 

Sharper: “Glory Braddock coming out to confront Casterillo!”

 

Knots: “He abandoned their match on Breakdown! Casterillo seems to be focusing on just disappointing as many of his opponents as possible!”

 

Sharper: “Again, it’s because he only focuses on what he finds important!”

 

Glory: “So…you going to run?”

 

Casterillo: “I did not run.”

 

Glory: “Prove it.”

 

Casterillo smirks and Casterillo lunges and grabs her by the throat. Glory grabs him by the arm and nails him in the ribs with a left before wrenching Casterillo out of the choke, using the shot to the ribs as a way to get free. Casterillo however spins through and wrenches Glory arm in a counter before Konrad starts to stagger up the rampway. Glory then turns and forearms him. Casterillo’s arm slips and he staggers down the rampway just enough as Konrad runs at Casterillo and lets out a yell before jumping up and hitting a vicious running dropkick, nailing Casterillo in the face. He hits the steel as Konrad hits too. He grimaces in pain and rolls over as the crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Sharper: “Glory keeping Casterillo here so Konrad could get all of that dropkick! Get everything he wanted and more!”

 

Knots: “My God! Konrad ran up the rampway and tried to take Casterillo’s head off.”

 

The camera gets a shot of Casterillo is down and seemingly out from the force of the dropkick.

 

Sharper: “Casterillo may be out. My God!”

 

Knots: “Talk about an exclamation point. Heel of his boot…”

 

Sharper: “Take a look at this again!”

 

REPLAY:

The Retribution logo comes up on the screen as we see Casterillo staggering down the rampway as Konrad lets out a yell and runs at him and jumps up and hits a running dropkick at Casterillo’s head, knocking him down. Both hit the rampway hard before the logo comes up again and we see the kick in slow motion, seeing Konrad getting his heel right into the jaw of Casterillo with great impact.

 

Sharper: “Look at this impact! You can see it. The impact causing Casterillo’s head to turn.”

 

Knots: “Konrad knew he had one shot and made sure he hit! Casterillo may have been controlled in the match, but Konrad getting the final shot here!”

 

Sharper: “And with an assist from Glory Braddock!”

 

The replay continues to show Konrad hitting the steel hard and Casterillo collapsing to the stage. The Retribution logo comes up.

 

We cut to see officials and the trainer out to check on Casterillo and Konrad. Glory walks over and goes to Konrad to help him up.

 

Glory: “You’re welcome.”

 

She nods and Konrad starts to push himself up, seething. He then turns and suddenly swings at Glory. Glory jukes back as Konrad staggers forward. He then turns and goes after her again before officials move in and start to restrain, Konrad. Konrad yells out as Glory looks at him, annoyed as Casterillo stirs on the stage.

 

Sharper: “Konrad going after Glory now!”

 

Knots: “Black Ice still dictating things. That mindset. There are no allies. Just enemies! Just targets!”

 

We then cut away.


The sound of an acoustic guitar strum is heard as we see a shot of CHBK diving off the top rope onto Shawn Winters. This is followed by a shot of Jake Starr getting German suplexed by Josh Hudson. The strums continue to pick up as its followed by a shot of Syren walking to the ring, holding the SCW World Championship, before cutting to shot Jason Wheeler spearing Brian Kinney in the ring. James Exeter celebrating holding the World Championship follows as we hear the roar of the crowd start to build up in the background. Following, that shot, Regan Street knocking Brittany Lohan off the stage follows before we see Simon Lyman and Donovan Kayl looking at one another before it abruptly phrases.

 

???: “What are you doing?”

 

The scene cuts to see Mr. D sitting in the crowd with a remote. Next to him is his daughter Sasha, holding a guitar and randomly strumming it. On the row in front of them, Katya sits, turning to her father.

 

Katya: “Did you have to pause it?”

 

Mr. D: “We’re told we couldn’t make a mess of the place…yet…that’s next year though.”

 

Katya: “It was fine last time…”

 

Sasha: “Yeah, but we didn’t use their massive picture board to watch old videos.”

 

Mr. D: “Much more is going to be on there again in a few years.”

 

Mr. D grabs whatever he dropped and looks up.

 

Mr. D: “Alright…”

 

Mr. D presses the button on the remote before we cut to a shot of the outside of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas before we see the Rise to Greatness XVI logo come up on the screen.

 

“Rise to Greatness XVI, July 21, 2019, AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas!”

 

The logo stays on the screen before it fades to black.


LEO vs. Xander Valentine

 

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

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

As the final line of lyrics play and the song revs up, Xander bursts out behind the curtain onto the stage. He marches out onto the stage to the top of the ramp. Boos starts to hail down on him, but there is some cheers beneath. Behind him emerges a woman, wearing a coat with fur lining. As she stops and positions herself behind Xander, some of her pale flesh is revealed to show the very scandalous outfit beneath. As if she doesn't exist, he stares down at the ring, regardless if occupied or vacant. A serious glare is painted across his weathered face. He starts marching deliberately down the ramp, continuing to stare at the ring.

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this Can t be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he 's gone

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

 

Sharper: “Xander Valentine not in a good mood. He expected to be part of Tactical Warfare later.”

 

Knots: “Sounds like Dark Fantasy wanted that too. But he’s dealing with another thorn in his side, the Network!”

Hey Xander!”

We cut to a shot of the backstage area.  Dante is there with Savali and Jack Parker of The Network.  Behind them stands LEO.

Dante: “You want to take us out?  You want to destroy the Network?  You want to kick LEO’s ass?  You’re welcome to try, you big dumb oaf, but you’re gonna have to come back here to us!”

The referee shrugs his shoulders, not sure what to do. Xander just steps out of the ring and starts marching down the aisle and through the curtain to the backstage area.

Xander: “DANTE!  LEO!”

Jack Parker jumps Xander from behind and starts pummeling away with rights and lefts.  Xander shoves him off.   Parker scrambles back to his feet but gets drilled with a big boot.  Xander picks him up and body slams him on the hard concrete.  Xander stomps away at Jack Parker’s mid section until he is blindsided again, this time by Savali.  Savali with straight rights and lefts but Xander quickly snatches her by the throat and choke slams her on top of Jack!

Sharper: “The Network throwing themselves at Xander! They’re making him run a gauntlet here to get to LEO!”

 

Knots: “This has to be a trap. We’ve seen it in the past with the Network and they’re trying to one now, but this is a lot different! Xander’s not in the mood!”


Xander continues his march but he is driven face first into the wall by Dante.  Dante turns him around and starts laying into him with rights and lefts.  LEO stands not too far away, watching calmly.  Xander fights back with a knee to the gut and then a huge uppercut.  Xander gorilla presses Dante up and throws him onto Jack and Savali, knocking the two of them back down along with Dante!

 

Sharper: “My God! The strength!”

 

Knots: “Chaos backstage!”

Xander finally has his sights set on LEO!  LEO feigns a roundhouse kick, causing Xander to duck, then LEO follows it up with a backhand.  Several European uppercuts and a roundhousekick that staggers the bigger Xander against the wall.  Xander comes back with a hard shoulder block, dropping him to the floor hard.  LEO scrambles back to his feet but is met by several upper cuts, jabs, and boxing style strikes.  A discuss elbow and then a running knee sends LEO down to the floor.

Sharper: “Just a fight now. LEO and Xander!”

 

Knots: “Look at LEO go. He’s standing toe to toe with Xander!”


LEO with a European uppercut, a back hand, and a roundhouse kick.  LEO with a superkick a soccer kick to Xander’s chest.  LEO goes for a superkick but Xander catches the foot and pulls him into a choke slam.  Xander goes for a suplex but LEO floats over and strikes a reverse ddt.  Xander sits up and LEO with a superkick to the side of his head.  LEO with a knee drop to the side of his head.  Xander starts to muscle his way back up to his feet.  LEO picks up a baseball bat nearby and swings for the fences, drilling Xander on top of his head and laying him out!

 

Sharper: “Oh God! A bat! Baseball bat to Xander!”

 

Knots: “He’s out! This was a mugging! Check his pockets!”

 

Sharper: “And look at LEO calmly, as if he just finished his job for the night, walking off!”

LEO smirks as he straightens his clothes and then walks calmly away, leaving a downed and perhaps unconscious Xander.

The arena lights turn dim. Over the speakers, the pulsing sound of "Shots Fired" plays. A red flashing light settles on the ramp. This red light stops and is replaced with multi colored strobe lights throughout the ramp and the arena. There, a figure steps through the curtains, dressed in a black tailor made suit with a white dress shirt underneath, a red and black tie, matching dress pants, sleek black rubber gloves on his hands and a silver dragon mask on his face. He steps forward, into the light, looking to the left, then to his right.  LEO makes his way down the aisle and towards the ring.

Sharper: “Come on! He’s now coming to the ring!”

 

Knots: “LEO calmly heading down. Xander’s out! He’s got to be hurt!”


LEO enters the ring.  He calmly approaches the referee and speaks something to him, we cannot pick up what it is, but the referee responds by shrugging his shoulders.  LEO repeats his request.  The referee seems to mouth something about Xander.  

 

Sharper: “Xander didn’t even wait for a countout or forfeit option. He wanted to destroy. LEO now in the ring.”

 

Knots: “I think they’re saying Xander can’t compete! Gotta have a concussion!”

 

While they exchange words an SCW official comes down to the ring.  The official goes over to speak to the referee who nods his head and calls for the bell.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has been informed that Xander Valentine cannot compete.  Your winner, LEO!”

 

Sharper: “Give me a break! A damn shame!”

 

Knots: “Don’t mess with the Network! Even SCW’s Executioner isn’t safe!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as LEO then pulls away from the official. He slowly walks to the ropes and steps through. He just lets out a brief smirk as he walks to the back. The crowd continues to boo as we cut away.


Backstage, Jessica Winters stands with Mr. D outside of his office. The crowd cheers seeing him. Mr. D nods and looks around.

 

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here and Mr. D….boss…at least for the rest of the night…any way we can talk you out of this.”

 

Mr. D: “No…I’ve made my decision.”

 

Jessica: “Then tonight, we’re going to see four teams fight in the Tactical Warfare. Fate of the company. Do you have a favourite?”

 

Mr. D: “I’m not going to answer that. Instead, all I’m going to say is that I am going to do what I can to make sure this ends in the ring and is decided by the competitors themselves. All of the teams are going to be placed in one of four locker rooms. They will be guarded and locked. I know fire and safety won’t be happy, but I’m not going to have some people running around and attacking people. Not after what we saw with the Network and Xander just moments ago. They will be only allowed out for the coin flips and afterward…when their competitor is allowed to come to the ring. They’ll be escorted to the tunnel.”

 

Mr. D pauses.

 

Mr. D: “There will be no controversy in this one. It will be decided in those rings and in that cage. And whoever wins, if it’s my daughters, they’ll come to the front office tomorrow. If it’s Beauty Factory or Wonderland, a representative can meet with the board to determine and start the vetting process for their representative. SCW will change. But change can be good. I’m going to have to learn that myself.”

 

Jessica: “Well please don’t be a stranger.”

 

Mr. D smiles.

 

Mr. D: “I’ll always be watching one way or another.”

 

Jessica: “Thank you for your time and your leadership.”

 

Mr. D: “You’re welcome.”

 

Jessica: “Back to the ring.”

 

We cut away.


Ruby Amarant vs. Abigail Lindsay

 

“The Twilight In Your Eyes” begins to play, the haunting melody overtaking the arena as the lights dim and ruby red lighting settles on the stage. Ruby Amarant slowly walks out onto the stage, her eyes slowly roaming over the fans with a cold, emotionless look.

Phillips: “Now making her way to the ring, from Phoenix, Arizona.... she is Ruby Amarant!”

Slowly Ruby begins to make her way down to the ring, not paying any mind to the fans even if some of them share their appreciation for the beautiful figure walking past their gaze. She slides into the ring and slowly rises to her feet, a smirk beginning to form on her lips as the lights return to normal. She then looks back and forth between the two rings, and the official gestures to her that the one she is currently standing in is the legal one. Ruby nods.

Sharper: “Ruby seems ready to play, despite knowing that she is not the person her opponent tonight, Abigail Lindsay, wants to fight.”

Knots: “Both of these women are into mind games, this one is gonna be an experience.”

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: “And her opponent.... from Los Angeles, California, Abigail Lindsay!

Abigail places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the two rings, the bike then comes to a halt next to the ring Ruby is standing in. Abigail slides off, takes off her helmet, setting it on the seat. 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. Getting to her feet, Abigail then smirks at Ruby, cracking her fingers.

Knots: “Uh oh, Abigail has that look.”

Sharper: “What look?”

Knots: “The one that says, “it's playtime.””

The bell rings. The women circle each other a bit, each looking for an opening. Ruby lunges, Abigail steps back. They circle a bit more, Abigail goes for a lock up, Ruby side steps. Abigail runs the ropes and as Ruby turns, grabs her arm and spins her around into a hammerlock. Ruby leans over though and almost immediately flips Abigail over her back, breaking the hold. Abigail hops to her feet. Ruby nails her with a forearm. Abigail steps back, and Ruby hits another. She goes for a third, but Abigail blocks it, grabbing her arm and taking her down with an arm drag. Ruby rolls through and gets back to her feet. The two stare each other down as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Quick start here, both women looking for an early advantage.”

Knots: “And neither getting it.”

Abigail cracks her fingers again, smirking. Ruby circles her, Abigail turning to keep facing her as she does. Suddenly, Ruby lunges low towards Abigail's knees. Abi can't sidestep in time and Ruby takes her down. She mounts her and throws a few lefts and rights. Abigail covers up, blocking about half the shots. The official comes over and warns Ruby. She gets up, her hands up. Abigail gets to her feet, scowling. She then runs at Ruby and connects with a spinning heel kick. Ruby backs into the ropes. Abigail follows up with a clothesline. Ruby goes over the top rope, getting tangled in the top rope of the other ring, and falling between both sets, landing on the aprons of both rings. Abigail then grabs the top rope and uses them to aid in a stiff baseball slide into Ruby's ribs. Ruby rolls into the other ring, holding her side. Abigail steps through the ropes and pulls Ruby up, as the official starts counting. (1)

Sharper: “Abigail using tonight's ring set up to her advantage, and the gloves are off now.”

Knots: “Ruby the underdog here as far as ring experience, and that may end up the determining factor.”

Sharper: “Remember folks, only one of those rings is the legal ring. Those women may as well be on the floor right now.”

Abigail gets Ruby to her feet, and whips her across the ring. (2) On the rebound Abi puts her boot up to kick Ruby in the gut, but Ruby catches her foot. (3) She then shoves Abi backwards by her leg, knocking her to the mat. (4) Ruby springs off the middle rope with a moonsault and makes a cover. But they are in the wrong ring. Instead of counting a pin, the official just shakes his head, and continues his count-out count. (5) Ruby sits up, swearing to herself. She steps through the ropes into the other ring. (6) Abigail sits up, then goes back down to roll under the ropes back into the other, legal, ring.

Sharper: “Some of Ruby's inexperience showing there, she momentarily forgot only one ring counts.”

Knots: “Could have been a costly mistake if either or both of them got counted out. Mini-Ravyn should know better!”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Abigail is back to her feet. Ruby grabs her arm and tries to send her across, but Abigail counters, and throws Ruby into the corner instead. She follows with a running knee to the ribs. Ruby holds her side, leaning forward a bit. Abigail grabs her chin and makes her stand straight, before slapping her across the face! The crowd oohs. Ruby holds her cheek, glaring. Abi steps back, and spreads her arms out wide.

Abigail: “Come on, Baby Ravyn! Is that all you got?”

Ruby steps out of the corner, looking for a clothesline. Abigail steps aside, and Ruby spins out. Abigail turns to face her, and Ruby nails the clothesline this time. Abigail hits her back, but rolls through and gets right back up. She smirks, then runs at Ruby, tackling her back into the corner. Ruby hits the turnbuckles hard. Abigail backs up a step, then drills another knee strike into Ruby's ribs.

Sharper: “Abigail Lindsay in full control here, reminding everyone that even though she likes to play games, she's a serious fighter too. Former World Champion in IWC.”

Knots: “May have been some time ago, but she can clearly still get it done, as Ruby is finding out.”

Abigail goes for another, but Ruby gets her own knee up, blocking it. She then elbows Abigail in the face. Abi steps back. Ruby nails a forearm, then another, then grabs Abigail and drops her with a snap suplex. The crowd oohs. Ruby makes a cover.

1!

2!

Abigail kicks out. Both women get to their feet. Ruby grabs Abigail's arm and sends her across. Abigail though grabs the top rope, halting her momentum. Ruby doesn't care, she runs across and aims for a running clothesline. Abigail drops down and pulls the rope with her, and Ruby tumbles over. She keeps her balance though, grabbing the rope herself and staying on the apron. She then knees Abigail in the side, and Abi lets go of the rope, falling to the mat. She rolls away from the apron. Ruby looks around, then goes to the corner, on the second rope. As Abigail gets to her feet, looking to see where Ruby went, Ruby leaps and takes Abigail down with a hurricanrana! The crowd ohhs again, and Ruby tries to make a cover, but Abigail rolls through and makes a cover with a rollup instead.

1!

2!

Ruby kicks out and rolls through. Abigail smirks as they both get up.

Sharper: “Close call for Ruby there, Abigail using the momentum from that leaping 'rana to counter the pin attempt.”

Knots: “More of the experience difference showing there. Great awareness by Abigail.”

Ruby frowns, and comes at Abigail with a flurry of strikes, landing shots to the jaw, chest, and abdomen. Abigail backs away, covering up. She eventually blocks one strike and throws a jab then an eye poke that the official doesn't catch. Ruby backs away, holding her face. The official checks on her as Abigail smirks. Ruby nods, and the official steps back. Abigail wastes no time in grabbing Ruby, sending her across the ring. Ruby grabs the ropes and hurtles over rather than bouncing off, into the other ring. Abigail runs and dives over both sets of ropes, taking Ruby out! The crowd roars. The official starts counting. (1)

Sharper: “And back into the second ring. I thought Ruby learned her lesson the last time.”

Knots: “I don't know, look at that smirk on her face, I think she knows exactly what she's doing.”

Sharper: “Maybe so, looks like Abigail landed a little awkward on her shoulder there.”

Abigail grabs at her shoulder as she starts to sit up. (2) Ruby rolls away from Abigail a bit, holding her back from the hard landing, but with the smirk Knots mentioned. (3) Abigail starts to get to her feet, but Ruby scrambles over, and grabs Abi's arm, the shoulder she landed on, and locks in a Fujiwara armbar! Abigail yells in pain. (4) Ruby pulls back harder, as Abigail fights her way to the ropes, laying one foot across. (5) The crowd roars as she grabs the ropes. Ruby smirks as all the official can do though is keep counting, the ring isn't legal. (6) Abigail screams in frustration, continuing to pull back, getting under the ropes and her feet into the correct ring. But Ruby is still in the other ring. (7) Abigail pulls on the bottom rope of the legal ring with her free arm and manages to pull free from Ruby's grip. She rolls into the legal ring, holding her shoulder. (8) Ruby sits up, smirking, before then rolling to the legal ring as well. The official stops counting, and Ruby gets to her feet.

Sharper: “Looks like you were right Jon, Ruby used all the time she had with that armbar, pulling on that shoulder Abigail possibly injured with that dive.”

Knots: “Mini-Ravyn, what'd I say? Abigail wants her attention, but she has to contend with Ruby for the moment. All her taunting seems to be coming back to bite her in the ass.”

Ruby goes over to Abigail and stomps on her shoulder. Abi yells in pain. Ruby goes for another stomp, but Abigail grabs her ankle, and pulls her down. Ruby faceplants. Abigail mounts her back and tries to apply a cobra clutch, but her shoulder gives out and she can't lock the hold in. Ruby pushes up with her arms, bucking Abi off. Abi starts to get up, but Ruby is faster. She kicks Abigail in the shoulder. Abigail goes back down, holding the arm. Ruby pulls Abigail up, and then quickly drops her with the Ruby Cutter! The crowd oohs as Ruby makes the cover.

1!

2!

3!

Abigail gets her good shoulder up a second too late. Ruby rolls off and gets up as Abigail turns to her side, holding her arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall.... Ruby Amarant!”

Sharper: “Abigail threw all of her experience at Ruby, employing some tricks even, but Ruby found a way to play games right back and picked up the huge win here,”

Knots: “Some would call this an upset, a newcomer over a woman who's held a World Championship. Abigail may not have Ravyn Taylor's attention, but I bet Ruby Amarant does, after that stunt in the non-legal ring”

Sharper: “That's right, she used it to her advantage to weaken Abigail's shoulder and it played a role in the outcome. No doubt. I do hope Abigail isn't seriously injured though.”

The official raises Ruby's arm as Abigail stirs. She sits up, rolling her shoulder some, testing it, while shaking her head.

Knots: “She's got some movement, should be okay with some ice I would think.”

Sharper: “Meanwhile Ruby has a ton of momentum after picking up this huge win.”


Backstage, we see Sienna Swann smiling as Laura Steinbeck looks around. Laura and Paris Truelove lean back with LEO as Ikiro stands right in front of Sienna, ready to serve.

 

Sienna: “Already going well. One issue taken care of.”

 

Paris: “Told you LEO would take care of it.”

 

LEO nods.

 

London: “One monster gone. One possible change.”

 

Sienna: “So no surprises except Kim and she’ll explode on them over us.”

 

Bree: “Don’t worry. We’re all looking forward to this. This ends all of the games. We get EVERY opportunity we’ve earned.”

 

Sienna: “Oh don’t worry. That’ll be immediate. Just thinking about how much I want to play with Syren or Ravyn or Kennedy-“

 

Andrew: “Or Regan?”

 

Dustin Adams is then seen as the camera turns as Andrew walks up.

 

Andrew: “You know you’re in there with her.”

 

Sienna: “And I’ll deal with her. We’ve got the chance to get exactly what we want.”

 

Bree: “I still can’t believe D even allowed this. Whatever…best decision he’s ever made.”

 

Andrew: “You’re telling me.”

 

Sienna: “Damn right.”

 

Laura smiles.

 

Sienna: “And Ikiro…”

 

Ikiro: “Yes Angel?”

 

Sienna: “You make sure everyone gets out of our way when we’re all in there.”

 

Ikiro: “Of course. Whatever you want.”

 

Sienna smiles.

 

Laura: “Sienna…this will make you the name in entertainment.”

 

Sienna: “Make the Beauty Factory that.”

 

Laura smiles as the crowd boos and we cut away.


Christy Matthews vs. Cassidy Carter

 

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 boo. 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.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, hailing from Los Angeles, California…she is CHRISTY! MATTHEWS!”

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, along with Ace Marshall, steps out to a barrage of boos. She smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat as her one woman rave show continues. She throws one arm up over her chest while thrusting the other to the side before bowing smugly before the booing masses.

Love, gimme love, gimme love
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box
Put an X on the floor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
Shut up and sing it with me

She makes her way down the ramp,a s Ace follows, 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. Stepping up onto the second rope she sits on the top turnbuckle before laying back across the top rope, propping her legs crossed casually over the other side. She appears to be becoming slightly impatient now in her comfortable spot waiting for this ordeal to begin and be over with.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada…she is the Duchess of Debauchery…she is CASSIDY! CARTER!”

Sharper: “Cassidy Carter taking on Christy Matthews in our next contest. It’s a match that has been brewing since Making Things Right when Christy helped Dark Fantasy seal the World title for Syren.”

Knots: “Yep. That’s how I remember it. With these two, I think it is a good idea we have two rings. I don’t think one is enough to contain them. The S to the hit is about to hit the fan.”

The ref calls for the bell. Cassidy charges towards Christy, only for Christy to grab at Cassidy’s legs, taking her down to the mat. Christy begins to rain down with punches. Cassidy manages to roll over, reversing her position and ending up on top of Christy. Cassidy grabs Christy by the hair and begins slamming her head against the mat, causing the ref to intervene, backing Cassidy away from Christy. Cassidy is heard laughing manically.

Christy is shown rolling over and pushing herself to her feet. Cassidy breaks away from the referee, rolling Christy up from behind. The ref begins the count.

Christy kicks out. Christy quickly gets to her feet, just as Cassidy does, taking Cassidy down with a clothesline. Christy grabs Cassidy by her hair and slams her head against the mat before getting to her feet once again. Christy lifts Cassidy off of the mat before taking her down with an arm trap neckbreaker. Christy grabs the arm, then locks in an arm bar.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews now in full control.”

Cassidy struggles for a minute, before swinging her legs, gaining some leverage. Christy keeps the hold locked in, before Cassidy leans forward, pinning Christy’s shoulders to the mat as the ref makes the count.

2

Christy kicks out breaking the hold. Cassidy backs away, holding her as Christy gets to her feet. Christy charges at Cassidy, only for Cassidy to quickly land a spinning wheel kick, knocking Christy to the mat. Cassidy grabs Christy off of the mat before whipping her into the corner. Christy hits the corner, facing forward and stumbles back, only for Cassidy to shove her back into the corner. Cassidy then grabs Christy by the hair once again before slamming her head into the corner repeatedly.

Crowd: “One! Two! Three!”

Cassidy smirks and bows at the crowd, before going to grab Christy by the hair once again. Christy however manages to land a spinning back elbow. Cassidy stumbles back before Christy grabs her and throws her into the corner. Christy begins stomping Cassidy in the corner.

Sharper: “These two don’t seem interested in having a wrestling match. They want to destroy each other.”

Knots: “With Tactical Warfare later tonight, this could just be a sign of things to come.”

Sharper: “I’m afraid you’re right.”

Christy backs away, looking at the crowd, earning some boos. Christy waves off the fans before turning and charging at the fallen Cassidy. Christy goes for a running knee, but Cassidy rolls out of the way just in time. Christy hits the corner hard. Cassidy gets to her feet and grabs Christy, pulling her down into a tree of woe. Cassidy then climbs to the top rope, using Christy for an extra boost.

Knots: “Christy being polite, helping Cassidy to the top.”

Cassidy looks down and smirks at Cassidy.

Sharper: “Cassidy looks like she has evil intentions.”

Cassidy then jumps off of the top rope, landing a double foot stomp onto Christy. Christy slowly slumps to the mat before Cassidy gets to her feet and drags her to the center of the ring. Cassidy hooks the leg.

Cassidy kicks out! Christy gets to her feet and begins arguing with the referee.

Sharper: “These two are not giving an inch to the other.”

Cassidy is shown using the ropes to pull herself to her feet. Christy continues arguing with the referee for a few moments before she notices Cassidy leaning against the ropes. Christy charges at her, taking her over the ropes with a running clothesline. Cassidy lands on the apron before rolling into the second ring under the bottom rope. Christy climbs to the top rope, but Cassidy grabs the rope, causing Christy to lose her balance and fall into the second ring.

Knots: “I knew I was right. One ring wasn’t enough.”

Sharper: “Being in the second ring is basically being on the outside. If these two aren’t careful they can be counted out.”

Ref: “1! 2! 3!”

Cassidy and Christy are shown brawling, exchanging punches as they roll around on the mat. Ace and Christopher are shown getting into the second ring as well.

Ref: “4! 5! 6!”

Ace and Christopher begin grabbing at Cassidy and Christy, trying to pull them apart. Ace lets Cassidy go before shoving Christopher to the mat and shrugging with a smirk. Christopher gets to his feet and begins jawing with Ace.

Ref: “7! 8!”

Ace looks out at the crowd then at Cassidy and Christy, who are still brawling on the mat. Ace then grabs Christopher and drops him with the Ace’s Wild!

Ref: “9! 10!”

The ref calls for the bell before climbing into the second ring, going to pull Christy and Cassidy apart. Ace gets in front of the ref. The ref tries to go around Ace, but Ace gets in front of him again.

Sharper: “Well this match has been thrown out. The ref is trying to regain order, but Ace Marshall is doing all that he can to keep that from happening.”

Knots: “I don’t think any of us are surprised.”

More refs as well as the security team led by Dean Black are shown racing down from the back. Ace runs over and grabs Cassidy, pulling her underneath one of the bottom ropes, just as security and the refs slide into the ring. The cameras shown Christy sitting up and glaring at Cassidy, who is shown walking up the ramp with Ace, smirking before the cameras cut away.


Backstage, we see Blake Mason standing with Jessica Winters in the backstage area. The crowd cheers seeing him.

 

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here with Blake Mason and Blake, we know Chris Cannon is going to be here after a week that saw him miss Breakdown. This is a match of great importance to you and him. All about closure and going back two and a half years when you piledrove him.”

 

Mason looks down.

 

Jessica: “Are you ready for what he may give you?”

 

Blake: “Whatever he has to give me, I’m going to have to be ready for. He deserves this match. This opportunity and on top of that, I asked for one major change. I went to Mr. D and asked him to make this no disqualification. I don’t want Chris getting cheated out of this again. I won’t be getting fired. He’s fought back from injury. We’ve managed to at least have a tacit respect. And tonight, I want him to get his opportunity for what he wants.”

 

Jessica: “And you?”

 

Blake sighs.

 

Blake: “I know he wants me to compete. And so I’m going to. And we’ll see what awaits after. Because this is facing Chris Cannon. Facing Superman. And if I need to be his kryptonite, I will be. Because I know one thing about Chris. If I take it easy on him, he’ll never forgive me.”

 

Jessica: “Thank you and good luck tonight.”

 

Blake nods. He heads off.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”


Manvel vs. Derek Adonis

 

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

And there he is! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every colour 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.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Cookie, he is The Man Mountain, Derek Adonis!”

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 his music fades, Cookie gets in his corner.
 
Sharper: “We have so many personal matches tonight, this one here is probably the most. There is bad blood between these two men and they have already faced each other once, Manvel was disqualified. Now they will face one more time and Derek wants revenge. Manvel stumbled into this match losing the TV title last week but with Scott Burnside and Cupcake, it could make the difference.”
 
Knots: “I was a recipient of Manvel’s “Mansauce” and it was terrible. The KABLAMasutra changed all our lives, Sharper. That was pure jealousy by Manvel. Bottom line, he attacked me because Adonis is legit and Manvel was the sidekick, he can’t stand that.”
 
“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. Scott Burnside walks behind him as does the gorgeous and sultry Cupcake. Manvel starts making his way down to the ring led by Cupcake, Scott Burnside follows behind. Manvel taunts all of the fans heading to the ring, he even poses in front of some, most of them try to slap the greaser wrestler who wears more body oil than a 2-pound Chicken Fryer.
 
Phillips: “His opponent, hails from Orlando, Fl.! Weighing in at 225 lnbs, accompanied to the ring by Scott Burnside and Cupcake, he is the “Human MAntipede” Manvel!”
 
Manvel hops around excited as he gets booed. Cupcake opens the ropes for him as Scott Burnside starts to jaw with Cookie who doesn’t even pay him attention.
 
He slides into the ring literally and gets up, he poses and hops on to the second turnbuckle as the crowd boos and cheers. He hops back down and starts to talk to the referee while showing off his MANLy abs and Mantastic physique….
 
Waiting for the match to start as he walks up to Adonis. Cupcake slips out of the ring and walks over to her sister, they both start to talk down to each other….
 
Sharper: “And it has already started, Manvel and Adonis are face to face, Cookie and Cupcake are jaw jacking each other and Scott Burnside is loving Manvel glistening in the lights from all the oil on his body.”
 
Knots: “The guy is a walking lube job, and this is starting now, Sharper!”
 
Adonis stares at Manvel who starts to pose and point at Derek, he does nothing and let’s Manvel run his mouth for a few moments before he finally floors him with a huge right, the crowd cheers as Manvel scurries to the corner where he tells the referee to back him off. The ref tells Adonis to back off some, Manvel yells at him as he stands up, holding his jaw. Manvel walks around the ring as Adonis tells him to come on, Manvel goes to lock up but instead drops and rolls out of the ring, he walks around as Cookie and Scott check his face….
 
Sharper: “Manvel is stalling.”
 
Knots: “Yes he is, he doesn’t want to get in the ring with Adonis, he knows he’s outmatched.”
 
The referee starts to count. (1) Manvel is still being checked on, (2) Cupcake starts to massage his neck while Scott checks his face, Adonis and Cookie yell at him to get back in the ring. (3) Manvel points back to the ring and tells Adonis to back off, (4) Manvel goes back to being attended to when suddenly Adonis rolls out of the ring, Cupcake turns and Cookie cuts her off, the two push each other while Adonis grabs Manvel, (5) Scott backs off as Adonis drills Manvel with another hard right and another, backing off the Lubed-Up Assassin. (6) Manvel tries to get away, but Adonis grabs him and slams his head into the apron. (7) Adonis then throws Manvel back in the ring breaking the count, he goes to roll in as Manvel backs up….
 
Adonis looks out at the crowd as the chair KABLAM! Adonis gets right up to Manvel who grans him by the waist and pulls him into the turnbuckle. The crowd boos as Adonis falls back right into a School Boy by Manvel…

Sharper: “Manvel is in full control. He is trying to keep Adonis down which is a sound strategy.”
 
Knots: “It is, he had been ducking Adonis all match, now he finds himself down but not out. Come on Cookie, be supportive!”
 
The crowd chants “KABLAM!” the cheer is led by Cookie who slams the mat trying to encourage Adonis to get back up. Manvel tells her to shut up, Cupcake tells Manvel to finish it. He nods and kicks Adonis a few times before he climbs to the top rope, Manvel poses as the fans boo before he jumps with a huge Frog Splash, but Adonis gets his knees up! The crowd roars as Manvel flips over holding his gut. He gets up stumbling as Adonis gets to his feet and yells “KABLAM!” before Manvel walks right into a huge Fallaway Slam.

Adonis wastes no time, he picks up Manvel for a Suplex, a stalling suplex ready to drop him into a Brainbuster but Manvel knees him on the top of his head, he falls behind hitting Adonis with the Backcracker and right into the Damascus Lock, the Human Mantipede! Adonis screams in pain as the referee asks him if he wants to quit, Adonis screams no, Manvel yell at him to “Quit Daddy”!
 
Sharper: “Adonis is in a lot of trouble and Manvel is pulling back hard!”
 
Knots: “Manvel has it locked, I don’t know Sharper! This entire arena is cheering and screaming KABLAM!”
 
Manvel wrenches back but Adonis slowly starts to pick himself up, he has Manvel on his shoulders and back, Manvel not letting go as Adonis gets to his feet and runs back into the turnbuckle, slamming Manvel into it, he falls forwards as Adonis hangs on to the ropes, he climbs to the second turnbuckle as the crowd screams Kablam, Manvel gets up and Adonis comes off with a Flying Clothesline, the crowd roars as he covers Manvel….

Sharper: “That must be gratifying! Adonis wins this over his former best friend after everything that he put Adonis and Cookie through.”
 
Knots: “It is, KABLAM! What a huge night for Derek Adonis and Cookie.”
 
Adonis and Cookie celebrate, Manvel gets up and sprays Mansauce in Derek’s face, he stumbles back and grabs his eyes, Cookie quickly tends to him. She then looks at Manvel and gets right up to his face, pointing her finger on his chest as it slips some, screaming at him “Why!? We are done! Just leave!”

Knots: “I have to agree, this was totally uncalled for, what the hell was Manvel thinking. If this was over, it won’t be now! This isn’t a game anymore!”
 
Scott pulls Manvel up the ramp as Adonis holds Cookie, officials trying to hold him back while Cupcake looks on concerned then pulled by Manvel to the backstage area.


Regan Street is backstage as she takes a deep breath and stands up in her wrestling gear. We then hear the door open and Selena Frost walks into the room. The crowd roars seeing them. Regan and Selena just look at one another.

 

Selena: “Are you ready?”

 

Regan: “Are you?”

 

Selena looks at Regan.

 

Selena: “You know this is weird.”

 

Regan: “After everything we’ve been through. Just a bit. And we’re going to locked in these rooms.”

 

Selena: “Until we’re ready.”

 

Regan: “And yet…no one, well besides my family, I’d rather be standing with SCW on the line.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Selena: “Same.”

 

The door opens as Kennedy Street steps into the room. She looks over as Mikaela Street follows.

 

Kennedy: “Getting closer.”

 

Regan: “Yeah…”

 

Owen Cruze and Sasha then enter the room after. The crowd cheers. Sasha just looks at them.

 

Sasha: “This is it. I’m not going to be my father. I don’t have something snappy to say. But…you know what’s on the line. If that’s not motivation….”

 

Sasha sighs.

 

Sasha: “I couldn’t come up with a better team if I tried. Show the world that you all represent the past, present and future of this company.”

 

Sasha nods.

 

Regan: “Don’t worry. We’ll even through in some ass-kicking for good measure.”

 

Owen: “Or impact?”

 

Kennedy: “A touch of class?”

 

Selena: “Believe it?”

 

Sasha shakes her head.

 

Sasha: “Just kick their ass.”

 

The crowd roars as we cut away.


Alistaire Allocco vs. Kellen Jeffries

 

Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes!
Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes, that's where the fire lies!
 
The spotlights shine forth from the stage, bathing the entire arena in blinding white lights corresponding with a verse of “Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence. A figure stands in front of the curtains, his arms are extended horizontally, and his legs spread. His back is turned to the audience. As the bright lights starts to dim, you can tell the man is wearing pure white tights. A blood red sleeveless coat stretching from his defined torso down to his equally bright white boots. Alistaire kicks out his leg to turn to face the crowd as the chorus of his theme kicks in:
 
Descending on a cloud, For all the world to see
Dressed in white with strength and majesty
Robe dripping red with eyes like fire
Sword held up high behold the white horse rider
 
Cries of the martyrs he has heard your voices
Now the day nears they will pay for their choices
Look up until the day and don't ever be afraid
For vengeance isn't yours, In time they will face their grave
 
He begins to walk down the ramp with his dark eyes staring intently upon the ring before him. He marches down with purpose, ignoring the fans on either side of him. He stops at the bottom of the ramp for a moment, before launching forward, sliding into the ring.
 
Descending on a cloud, For all the world to see
Dressed in white with strength and majesty
Robe dripping red with eyes like fire
Sword held up high behold the white horse rider                 
 
Once in the ring, he discards his coat by tossing it to the referee. He’s in the center of the ring, he’s hops up and down, switching his weight behind his feet as he stands. As the song begins to fade out, Alistaire stares at his goal.
 
I can hear it, I can hear it, I can hear it now
I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it now
 
Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Rochester, New York…he is…ALISTAIRE! ALLOCCO!!!”
 
Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco out first for our next contest. He will be taking on SCW newcomer and Trios Tournament winner, Kellen Jeffries.”
 
Knots: “This will be a strong mesh of different styles. I’m looking forward to it.”
 
"The Authority Song" by John Mellencamp hits the speakers and Kellen Jeffries comes out from the back, with Amber Sloane accompanying him, and heads to the ring. The crowd reaction is mixed as Kellen and Amber walk side by side down the ramp. Kellen looks at the crowd before focusing on the ring. He then runs and slides in underneath the bottom rope, slowly rising to his feet, locking eyes with Allocco.
 
Phillips: “And his opponent, accompanied by Amber Sloane, residing in New York City, New York…he is…KELLEN! JEFFRIES!!!
 
The ref calls for the bell as Allocco goes for a tie up, but Kellen immediately unloads with right hands, backing Allocco into the ropes. Kellen whips Allocco to the other side and Kellen charges, and connecting with a running clothesline.
 
Kellen stomps on the arms and chest of Allocco, before running into the ropes, and coming back with an elbow drop to the chest. Allocco rolls over as Kellen gets to his feet. Allocco gets to one knee, only for Kellen to land a knife edge chop. Allocco quickly gets to both feet, holding his chest. Kellen whips Allocco into the ropes, before planting him with a spine buster. Kellen then goes for the pin.

Sharper: “It’s been all Kellen since the bell rang.”
 
Knots: “He’s not given Alistaire a chance to breathe.”
 
Sharper: “Kellen wants to make a statement and so far I think he’s doing it.”
 
Allocco gets to his feet and Kellen grabs him, whipping him into the corner. Kellen follows up with a running clothesline. Kellen then begins to stomp on Allocco, causing Allocco to buckle in the corner. Kellen backs up, before charging and connecting with a running knee. Allocco slumps a bit more, falling to the side.
 
Kellen lifts Allocco off of the mat, landing a right hand before hooking Allocco and connecting with a snap suplex. Kellen then goes for the cover.

Kellen hits the mat and rolls over, sitting up. Allocco hits the ropes then comes back and connects with a running dropkick to Kellen’s back. Allocco grabs Kellen off of the mat, hooking him and planting Kellen with an exploder suplex. Allocco then locks in a side headlock, before transitioning into a front face lock.
 
Knots: “Smooth transition from Alistaire Allocco.”
 
Sharper: “Allocco is a very flawless technician in the ring.”
 
Kellen is shown reaching for the ropes as Allocco pulls back, applying more pressure. The ref checks on Kellen who shakes his head no.
 
Sharper: “The ref asking Kellen if he wants to submit, but he refuses. He is still reaching for those ropes, hoping to break the hold.”
 
Kellen goes to the reach for the ropes, but Allocco breaks the hold. He grabs Kellen off of the mat and goes to whip him across, but Kellen reverses, and begins landing right hands. Kellen goes for another punch, but Allocco dunks it, gets behind Kellen taking him down with a German suplex. Allocco maintains his hold, swings his legs, lifting Kellen off of the mat and landing another German suplex. Allocco repeats the process, landing a third German suplex. Allocco swings his legs again, lifting Kellen and hitting a release German suplex. Kellen hits the mat and Allocco goes for the cover.

Allocco bounces off of the ropes, charging towards Kellen and lands a running knee to the side of the head. Allocco drops down and hooks Kellen on the mat. Allocco then begins to drive his knees, rotating each knee, landing shots to the head. Allocco stills maintains his grip on Kellen, lifting him off of the mat before hitting another exploder suplex.

Allocco picks Kellen up off of the mat and whips into the opposite ropes. Kellen bounces off of the ropes, taking Allocco down with a Thesz press, landing a flurry of punches. Kellen rolls off of Allocco and gets to his feet.
 
Sharper: “Speaking of a shift in the tide…”
 
Allocco slowly gets to his feet and stumbles around. Kellen goes to kick Allocco in the abdomen, but Allocco grabs his foot before pulling him into a T-Bone suplex. Kellen hits the mat, rolls over, and sits up just as Allocco gets to his feet and connects with Sins of the Father. Kellen slumps to the mat and Allocco goes for the cover.

The crowd begins to boo as the ref calls for the bell. Allocco gets to his feet, stares at Kellen before throwing his fist into the air out of celebration.
 
Knots: “And just like that, Adam Allocco Jr. gets the win.”
 
Sharper: “It was one of those matches that could have gone either way, but Allocco manages to pull off the victory here tonight.”

 

Alistaire Allocco continues to enjoy his celebration as we then cut to the Retribution logo. A still of Chris Cannon vs. Blake Mason comes up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Well from Alistaire Allocco and his wrestling, to Chris Cannon and Blake Mason – the match for closure.”

 

Knots: “Years in the making and it happens next!”

 

A recap video plays showing the history between Chris Cannon and Blake Mason.


Chris Cannon vs. Blake Mason

 

"The Memory Remains" by Metallica starts to play. Blake Mason simply walks through the curtain. He pauses momentarily at the top of the ramp. The crowd cheers him a bit.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled in ring one, for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is no disqualification! First, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

 

Not reacting to the reaction the crowd is giving him, Blake heads to the ring. Reaching the steel steps, he walks up them, on to the apron, steps into the ring. Without the normal theatrics that have defined him over the past few years, Blake opts to lean against the turnbuckle, the expression on his face, stoic. He remains there until the match starts. 

 

Sharper: “You heard it right. No disqualification. A late change to this match and all because Blake Mason asked for it. He said he wanted to make sure that Chris Cannon had every opportunity to get his closure.”

 

Knots: “He could be however setting himself up for failure. Chris Cannon has wanted this. He wasn’t at Breakdown. Who knows what his frame of mind is? And this helps him!”

 

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: “His opponent, 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. He looks down for a moment, taking a deep breath. He hops down. His music fades out as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Chris Cannon here. Focused. You saw the heave in the chest. The deep breath.”

 

Knots: “So much pressure on him right now. And well, here we go.”

 

Sharper: “And we should note that it is no disqualification, but pinfalls need to happen in that ring. Ring one.”

 

Chris and Blake look at one another before the bell sounds. The crowd roars. Blake extends his arms and looks at Chris, saying something to him. Chris responds to pointing at him and telling him to come at him. Blake nods and looks out, taking a deep breath himself, before he lunges and runs at Chris. He nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Chris falls into the corner. Blake climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and nails Chris with a hard right and then another and another before Chris shoves him off. Blake hits the mat and rolls through. He gets up and runs at Chris and climbs up again, nailing him with a hard right before Chris shoves him off again. Blake rolls through and gets up and Chris moves out and blocks another hard right and nails Blake with a hard right. Blake attempts another shot before Chris nails him with another one. Chris kicks him in the ribs and turns runs him into the corner, driving him face first into the top turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Chris firing back after Blake did exactly what Chris wanted, took the fight to him.”

Chris follows and kicks him in the ribs. Blake covers his head and Chris nails him with a hard right to the side of Blake’s head and then a left to the ribs. He grabs Blake. He then hooks him up.

Chris falls to the ropes of the second ring before he steps up and Blake jumps up and hits a dropkick to the jaw. Chris falls back and rolls through the ropes and into the second ring.

 

Sharper: “Huge dropkick. Blake buying himself some space and getting Chris into that other ring.”

 

Knots: “Ref’s not counting. What’s going on?”

 

Sharper: “I guess he’s going to let it go. With the history leading into this match.”

 

Blake then steps through the ropes and then into the second ring. Chris gets up and Blake hits another dropkick. Chris hits the mat. He slowly gets up and Blake scoops him up and slams him down.

Chris starts to get up. Blake rolls over and gets up and moves to the ropes and Chris runs at him and clotheslines him up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs. Chris drops down and rolls to the floor.

 

Sharper: “From ring two to the floor now.”

 

Knots: “Chris just doing whatever he can do to keep the pressure on. He wants Blake to come at him. He’s coming right for him.”

 

Blake starts to get up and Chris nails him in the ribs with a hard right and then a hard left before nailing him with a hard right. He then looks around before hooking Blake up. He sets up for a vertical suplex. Blake however blocks it. Chris tries a second time and Blake blocks it again before Blake hoists Chris up and throws him back with a vertical suplex of his own. Chris rolls over grimacing in pain. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to the suplex. Blake slowly gets up.

 

Sharper: “Blake counters and Chris hitting with a thud on the floor.”

 

Knots: “That’s like landing on your carpeted basement with underlayment. It’s not going to do much except absorb some impact, but it hurts like a son of a bitch.”

 

Sharper: “Please don’t try that at home.”

 

Knots: “Unless you’re an idiot, then it’s natural selection!”

 

Blake turns and grabs Chris. He pulls him up and then looks around before scooping him up and slamming him on the mats again. Chris winces again.

 

Knots: “Well, Blake’s figured it out.”

 

Sharper: “He still wants to win. And add to the fact that if he took it easy, that’s more disrespect to Chris.”

 

Chris turns and Blake stomps him in the back and then again. He grabs him and pulls him up before looking around and then hooking his arm and whipping him hard into the steel steps.

Sharper: “Dropping Blake over the top rope. My God.”

 

Knots: “Well I think we know what Chris is thinking about. Making sure Blake has something to remember what he did to him by.”

 

Sharper: “Some fans taking issue to the how, but most firmly behind Chris Cannon.”

 

Blake rolls over, wincing in pain and Chris steps through the ropes. He then snaps at Blake to get up. Blake grimaces and seems to oblige, pulling himself up.

He then turns and walks over to Blake and grabs him. He drags him up and the referee tells him to get back into the ring and Chris ignores him, instead grabbing Blake and looking behind him before whipping Blake hard along the ringside area and Blake goes into the other set of steel steps. The top half bowls over and into the announce table, all from the impact. Blake falls over.

 

Sharper: “Jesus! The impact.”

 

Knots: “This is not a splatter zone!”

 

Sharper: “Steel stairs crashing into our table here. All from the impact of Blake going into the top half!”

 

Blake stirs and Chris walks over and grabs him and then scoops him up onto his shoulder as if going for a powerslam, but instead, Chris throws him forward and gives him a snake eyes on the bottle half of the stairs. Blake rolls over. Chris then stomps him in the face and then again and again. Chris looks around before turning and grabbing the ring bell. He looks at it and looks around. The crowd roars.

He seemingly snaps out of things and steps back, apologizing to the fan.

He takes a moment before looking out, almost as if thinking about what he wanted to do.

Chris then looks at the ring bell and shoves it forward before turning and grabbing the top of the Spanish announce table. The crowd cheers some more.

 

Sharper: “Blake sent up and over. He could be out. Chris now taking apart the Spanish table-“

 

Knots: “Out or not. Blake is busted open. It’s bad. I can see it!”

 

The camera angle changes to show blood dripping from the face of Blake. Blake tries to sit up, with his face already just covered in blood, clearly indicating a deep cut. The blood starts to drip on his chest as Chris keeps taking apart the announce table, removing the monitors. He then notices Blake busted open. The crowd reacts too getting a clear reaction.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God…”

 

Knots: “Chris caught him with a corner or something. Blake Mason is not okay!”

 

Sharper: “And Chris seeing his handiwork. All in the name of revenge…of closure.”

 

Chris then steps over and grabs Blake, not showing any remorse as he rolls him onto the announce table. Chris climbs up too and looks at Blake as blood keeps dripping onto the table, covering it in his blood. Chris then drags him up and hooks him up with a full nelson before hoisting him up and dropping him with a full nelson slam through the table. The crowd ohs. Blake remains on his back as Chris rolls over, covered in Blake’s blood too. Chris looks down, as if contemplating what he’s doing before he gets up and grabs Blake. Blake just collapses and Chris drags him up and turns and rolls him into the ring. Blake rolls over, blood dripping down onto the ring. Blake ends up on his back and slowly rolls over, just covering the canvas with red.

 

Sharper: “Blake is hurt. Blake is bleeding.”

 

Knots: “Chris is almost trying to tell himself to go through with it.”

 

Sharper: “We expected this type of violence or blood in the Tactical Warfare…but this…”

 

Knots: “He’s caught an artery or something.”

 

Chris then slides in as the official steps in and tries to stop him. Chris snaps at him.

 

Chris: “No! I need to finish this!”

 

Chris then drags Blake up and turns and throws him into the area between the rings, a trail of blood almost following Blake, leading to the pool by the Spanish announce table. Chris steps through and almost frantically grabs him and pushes him into ring one. Blake rolls over, ending up on his back. Chris steps in and looks at Blake as tells him to get up. Blake, almost as if trying to give Chris what he wants, starts to stir. He’s moving slow but he rolls over and the referee tells Chris to stop as we see the trainer and EMTs starting to move to the ring. Chris sees them before then looking around. The crowd chants for “Cannon!” as Chris looks up and then grabs Blake and pulls him in before placing his head between his legs. Chris then hoists Blake up and holds him up for a moment.

 

Sharper: “No! Chris! What are you doing?!”

 

Knots: “Closure!”

 

Chris then hits a piledriver on Blake Mason right in the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Piledriver!”

 

Knots: “It’s no disqualification.”

 

Chris then turns and goes for the lateral press. He looks at the official and the official drops down and counts.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers. Chris rolls off and sits next to Blake, taking deep breaths. The trainer and the EMTs promptly move in, one holding a towel and immediately going to put pressure on the head laceration as they start talking to Blake. Chris then slowly gets up as the referee looks at him. Chris just shakes his head as the official checks on Blake.

 

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

 

Sharper: “Cannon announced the victor. I’m sure that’s more to end this. The official don’t know what to do. A piledriver would normally be a disqualification. It’s an automatic thirty day suspension.”

 

Knots: “The move that put Chris out for years…now he’s just put himself out for thirty days to get his revenge!”

 

Sharper: “To get his closure. Two and a half years ago, Chris was piledriven and put on the shelf. He may have returned the favour tonight. Was it worth it Chris?”

 

Chris just looks at Blake, clearly aware of what he may have done. Blake’s arms move though.

 

Sharper: “Blake’s moving at least.”

 

Knots: “That’s a plus. But he may not know where he is. He’s a bloody mess.”

 

Chris continues to just look as we see officials coming down with a stretcher. The crowd looks on as Chris then drops down and rolls to the floor. The camera focuses on him as he looks around. He then takes a deep breath before starting to slowly walk to the back. The camera remains on Chris Cannon as he makes his long walk toward the back. The crowd continues to cheer him as the scene slowly fades to black.

 

We open up with a white space. We then see a shot of Katya walking forward and looking around. She just smiles as she rubs her hands together. A quick cut shows Katya having turned into Sienna Swann and Bree Lancaster as they just chuckle and look around. The scene cuts to show Giovanni Aries, with the white background turning into psychedelic colours. This is followed by a shot of Dark Fantasy with dark purple and blackness all around them, before cutting to Sienna and Bree where golden colours swirl around them before cutting to show Sasha with the SCW logo behind her. We then see Regan Street, Selena Frost and Kennedy Street walk into the view and look around. We then cut again to the white blank space. The pay per view logo comes up on the screen.

 

“SCW Presents Tabula Rasa, only on pay per view, live on Sunday, April 14, 2019”

 

We cut back to the white screen.

 

“What will SCW look like?”

 

The scene cuts away.

 

We return to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Tabula Rasa our next show and we’re still dealing with the aftereffects of this brutal match between Blake Mason and Chris Cannon. Cannon has actually be escorted out of the building.”

 

Knots: “He’s going to have a suspension.”

 

Sharper: “And we’re about to find out who will be overseeing that and much more. Four teams. Four members on each team. Two rings. One cage. One company on the line.”

 

A recap video plays showing the issues the Wonderland and Beauty Factory have had with SCW in the last year, and the growing issues between Katya and Sasha, before showing Mr. D’s announcement on Breakdown.


Tactical Warfare

 

We return to the inside of the area as we see the Tactical Warfare cage set up around both rings. Ring crew members are securing it into place.

 

Sharper: “Here we are. Arguably the biggest match in SCW history. The fate of this company on the line. Who’s vision will be running things?”

 

Knots: “I can’t believe it’s coming to this. And we know a number of things. Teams have been placed in locked rooms. They will be release just before they will be allowed to come out. Teams can’t remain  at ringside. No jump attacks in this one.”

 

Sharper: “Just securing the cage in place. Let’s go to Jason Phillips who is at ringside.”

 

The camera angle changes as the bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Tactical Warfare match to determine who is in charge of SCW. The rules are as follows. A series of coinflips have determine the order of entrance. Two will start and compete for four minutes. Then a third entrant will enter. Every two minutes, another combatant will enter the fray, and only when all sixteen entrants have enters the ring will it be onefall to a finish!”

 

Sharper: “Chaos…pure chaos.”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Phillips: “Let us find out who will be starting this match!”

 

The camera pans out as the crowd roars. We see Aaron Demitra directing traffic on the floor with the other officials.

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as "Truth About Our Time” by Allen/Lande 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. The SCW US Championship is around her waist.

Phillips: “First, represented Team Sasha, from Nome, Alaska, she is the SCW United States Champion, the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before walking up the steel steps and entering inside the Tactical Warfare cage. She looks around as she walks over to the middle of the first ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena. Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her ice-shard cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring. She then turns and takes off her title and hands it to Demitra on the floor.

 

Sharper: “Almost apropos that the Face of SCW is starting this match. Selena Frost, the US Champion to start off for team Sasha.”

 

Knots: “I know the four of them probably had a series of coinflips to determine who enters first, but at the same time, Selena, we all know she wants this fight.”

 

The opening of “Close Your Eyes" can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd, as he holds the SCW World Tag Team Championship belt.
 
Phillips: “Next, representing the Wonderland, he is from New York City, New York, one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, James Evans!”

 
James slowly makes his way to the ring, as images of him winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd. He hands off the title to Demitra. James then steps into the cage and walks to the center of ring one, removing his black hoodie, maintaining his focus. James then goes to the corner and sits on the top turnbuckle, his back to the crowd, looking at Selena Frost across the ring from him.

 

Sharper: “James Evans starting out for his team. Selena and James to start. That means either Beauty Factory or Katya’s team will follow. And the order continues in that way.”

 

Knots: “How about James and Selena starting in ring one?”

 

Sharper: “We’ve seen some wanting to put some space, play some mind games. These two not going to wait it seems!”

 

Knots: “And no ref. Four minutes. No interruptions. Let’s go!”

 

The cage door closes and Demitra locks it as the bell sounds. James hops down and the two circle the ring. They lunge and James goes for a collar and elbow tie-up, but Selena ducks under. James turns and Selena kicks him in the thigh. She then nails him again. James winces and Selena jumps up and grabs him in a side headlock. She pulls back as James jockeys for position. He then starts to drag her back and into the ropes. He then fires her off. Selena bounces off the other side. James shoulders her down. The crowd ohs. James runs into the ropes. Selena rolls over. James hops over and turns and Selena gets up, but James kicks her in the ribs and then locks in a side headlock of his own.

 

Sharper: “James showing some adaptation quickly. Selena will run. She’ll kick.”

 

Knots: “Not doing either right now.”

 

James pulls back and Selena drags him back into the ropes before going to fire him off, but James holds on. He smirks as he turns and then starts to walk in a circle, holding on tightly as Selena is forced to follow before he turns and swings her into the corner. Selena hits the corner and James heads over and kicks her in the ribs. He then whips her across the ring. James runs after. Selena jumps up and goes for a float over, but James catches her on his shoulder. Selena looks around and James turns and Selena kicks her legs and slides down and shoves him into the corner. James hits and turns around and Selena hits a dropkick, knocking him down. James rolls over to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Hard dropkick and remember this is a marathon, not a race.”

 

Knots: “They may want to find out. There’s a lot of people left to enter.”

 

Sharper: “And the problem is that no matter how good natured some are, you may want an injury. You may want to hurt someone. Better your team’s chances.”

 

Selena gets up as James starts to get up too and Selena kicks him in the ribs. She then wrenches his arm and jerks on it.

 

Knots: “And Selena going for the arm early!”

 

Selena jerks on it again. She then turns and moves him over to the ropes, but James pulls away. He backs up. Selena turns and runs at him and goes for a clothesline. James ducks. He spins around her and locks in a waistlock. Selena falls forward and grabs onto the ropes. She hugs them as James tries for a German suplex. Selena blocks it. He tries again, but Selena blocks it again and James clubs her in the back and then again and again. He then turns and spins her around and fires her off. She bounces off and James lifts her up and hits a back drop. Selena rolls over in pain. She rolls over and turns around and James goes for a clothesline. He drops to his knees and moves to go for a pin, before stopping himself, shaking his head. He then gets up and hits an elbow drop.

 

Sharper: “James I think was thinking about going for a pin. No pins, falls, submissions, anything until everyone is entered.”

 

Knots: “But think of what damage you can do if you lock something in early.”

 

James gets up as Selena rolls over. She winces a bit as James grabs her and spins him around and chops her. The crowd woos. He whips her across again. Selena bounces off and James goes to launch her up and over the top rope into the second ring, but Selena jumps forward and springboards off the top rope of the second ring before jumping forward and rolling through. The crowd roars. She turns as James turns and exits the first ring and Selena runs over and hits a running dropkick to the side of James’ head. James falls through the ropes and into the second ring. James rolls over as Selena turns and grabs his arm and locks in a quick armbar on right arm. James winces as Selena pulls back.

 

Knots: “There you go! Going for the arm!”

 

Sharper: “More for control right now, but certainly wearing him down too. All that after a beautiful bit of agility from the Snow Queen!”

 

Selena holds on as a “We Believe! James Evans!” dueling chant begins. James starts to turn, slowly pulling himself up as Selena holds on. James gets to his knees and James elbows Selena in the ribs. Selena hits a shoot kick to James’ left arm. James winces and crawls forward. He pulls himself up and Selena chops him in the chest and then again. Woos follow.

She turns around as James rolls over and Selena runs over and hits a running dropkick to the side of James’ head. James rolls over to his back. Selena then looks at him before then turning and grabbing him.

 

Sharper: “Selena I think wanted to go for a pin there. Again, not the game yet.”

 

Knots: “You can tell both are trying to remember the nature of this match. It’s totally different.”

 

Sharper: “It’s a war of attrition!”

 

Selena pulls James up and nails him with a forearm shot. James falls over to the ropes. Selena follows up with a kick to the ribs. She then drags him away from the ropes and hooks his head and goes for a swinging neckbreaker, but James spins around and shoves her into the ropes. She bounces off and James scoops her up and hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Selena rolls over in pain. James leans on his knees as the countdown comes up on the screen.

The buzzer goes as we see Andrew Raynes running out from the back. He runs down to the ring as the crowd boos loudly. He runs over to the door as Demitra takes a moment to open it. Raynes snaps at him before entering inside. James turns around as Andrew Raynes runs over to the ropes. The door closes as Andrew reaches through the ropes and pulls James through the ropes and into the middle area. He then pulls him up and nails him with a hard right and then another.

 

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes in next. Beauty Factory getting the third spot. That means Dark Fantasy and Katya have the final entrant before we restart.”

 

Knots: “Luck I guess. But Andrew Raynes is beating James Evans’ ass!”

 

Sharper: “Angry about a lot of things. One of which is the World Tag Team Championship! Bree and him have a shot waiting and it was delayed because of this match!”

 

Andrew then steps into the area between the rings and grabs James and throws him back with a vicious mat slam in the area between the rings. James rolls over in pain. The crowd ohs. Andrew then enters the second ring as the crowd boos some more as Selena gets up and Raynes runs at her and hits her with a running boot, knocking her down. Andrew smirks as he then turns and grabs Selena and pulls her up. He then yells in her face before turning around and spinning her around before throwing her face first into the side of the cage. Selena falls back, rolling over. Andrew then turns around and goes to James. James rolls into the first ring. Andrew exits ring two to go to ring one.

 

Sharper: “Raynes taking advantage of the damage Selena and James did to each other. Selena into the cage.”

 

Knots: “But back to James. He wants to give the Tag Champs a lesson. When that match happens, their titles are theirs!”

 

Sharper: “Andrew just stomping away on James!”

 

Andrew stomps James in the face over and over as the crowd boos some more. Andrew then grabs James and drags him up before nailing him with another hard right. James falls over into the corner. Andrew follows up and starts to choke him, driving his knee into his throat and just pressing back. James struggles as Andrew looks around and smiles as he presses in. He then steps back and nails James with a hard right. James falls over. He then starts to get up and Andrew drags him up before hitting a vertical suplex.

Selena waits as Andrew gets up and runs at Selena and Selena gets a boot up. Andrew stumbles back and Selena runs over and clotheslines him down. She turns around and walks over to the ropes as James suddenly runs himself to the middle of the rings and reaches over from ring one to ring two, nailing her with a running forearm.

Marie Jones(?) steps out from the back and heads down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “And Dark Fantasy and Katya starting with the games early. Is that Marie or is that Kim?”

 

Knots: “I’d say that doesn’t matter for what they represent, but in this case, it’s a huge difference!”

 

Sharper: “James noticing Kim or Marie. We’ll say it’s Marie for now. They’re identical.”

 

Marie heads down to the ring and the crowd boos as Marie goes to the door. Demitra opens it and Marie runs up and enters the ring before vaulting herself over the top rope and into the ring. The door closes as Marie then runs over to James and hits a running dropkick, knocking him down. The crowd ohs. Marie turns and gets up. She then looks at Selena getting up and Andrew and Marie runs across the ring into the far side before bouncing off and then diving over the top rope, over the second set, grabbing Selena by the head and spinning through into a tornado DDT. The crowd ohs and Marie rolls over. She turns and looks at Andrew who gets up and lunges at her, going for a clothesline. Andrew stops and turns and Marie then turns and smiles before poking him in the eyes with two fingers. The crowd roars.

 

Knots: “Wait a minute! That’s got to be Kim!”

 

Sharper: “Well that’s the most Kim she’s looked so far! I guess! But Kim/Marie, whoever it is, is taking control here!”

 

Marie then kicks him in the ribs and hits a DDT. Andrew rolls over. Marie gets up and then runs into the ropes, jumping to the middle rope and diving back with a lionsault. She rolls over as Selena stirs as does James. Marie turns and goes to Selena and kicks her in the ribs and throws her into the corner. Marie turns around and climbs up to the top rope of the second ring. She looks at James before diving off, but James catches her and spins her out into a spinebuster.
