Rise to Greatness - July 30, 2017

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

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

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

An instrumental version of “Believer” by Imagine Dragons plays in the background as we see the SCW Rise to Greatness logo come up on the screen before showing a shot of the outside of the University of Phoenix Stadium. We see fans still filing into the building and then cut to a shot of one of the concourses where fans can be seen cheering and a “Kelcey Wallace!” chant can be heard by some fans. We see some clearly also playing to the camera. We then cut to a shot of Jessica Winters and Shawn Winters in the main arena at a desk just to the side of the entrance way as Jessica welcomes everyone.

Jessica: “Welcome everyone here to the live pre-show here just moments before Rise to Greatness. Jessica Winters here with Shawn Winters, don’t worry, no affiliation. But we are here with all of the last minute news and notes as we head into the biggest night in wrestling.”

Shawn: “And we’re just one night removed from the BREE-Show last night here in Phoenix and some controversy there. The F-Ups, Beard and Juice arriving tonight holding the World Tag Team Championship. We know that, amongst other things, are on the mind of Mr. D and we will have a comment from him before Rise to Greatness starts off.”

Jessica: “But first, we should probably start by talking about proverbial elephant not just in the room, but here in Phoenix. This heat.”

Shawn: “And we’re lucky to some degree. We can get the climate control going here in Phoenix, but with it being over one hundred degrees outside and the humidex making it worse, this is going to be a unique night for a number of reasons. But first, to all of those watching us in the tv’s here in the stadium. Yoo-hoo. Look at me. I’m more important than you’re idiot kids! I say that because this is important for them! We’re going to have water booths all over this arena. Please, take advantage of them. I know Adam Sharper, we’ve already rigged him up with intake and outtake. It’s a whole spaghetti factory under his desk. But seriously, we know the heat, despite our best efforts could an issue and we will make sure that our fans are safe.”

Jessica: “But what about our competitors?”

Shawn: “We’ll have water available at ringside, but to our fans, what will be interesting is to see how much it effects some individuals. We’re trying to move air in here, but it’s hard with such an open space. Strategically, if I’m in that ring, I do two things. I make my opponent move a lot and I make sure that every move I hit, I hit it with maximum impact. The more energy they expend, the hotter they’ll get and the heat could be an advantage instead of a mutual disadvantage. But I expect some people to slow down as a result. Obviously people are going to sweat more…or glow for some….and it’s going to affect grip, it’s going to affect pace. It will be an interesting night for those reasons here. But at the same time, it’s Rise to Greatness and we may see people push themselves harder than they’ve ever gone before.”

Jessica: “It will be something to be aware of. A lot going on we have some significant stories leading up to Rise to Greatness that need to be considered. Let’s go to Lexy Chapel who is backstage with some of the latest rumours and reports regarding some SCW stars!”

Jessica smiles as we cut to backstage.

Backstage we see Lexy Chapel in front of the SCW interview area, a microphone in her hand.

Chapel: “Thank you Jessica and welcome to the Rise to Greatness edition of the CHAPEL SHOW! Okay, so I get much of a cool stage or be out in front of the fans, but whatever. I get to give you ALL of the latest rumours and juicy gossip. So uh…there’s that!”

We then see the camera shift a bit as to Chapel’s left, a box comes up on the screen with images of people’s faces. First, we see Syren and Ravyn Taylor.

Chapel: “Did Syren and Ravyn some unique forms of training for Rise to Greatness? No! Not like that! But reports have it that Syren and Ravyn jumped off a balcony at their hotel into a pool. We’re sure why, but they were heard laughing. Ravyn has been doing some weird and wonderful things as she has to wits and wagers with Ace Marshall. Was this just a form of them trying to get some laughs before their important night tonight, or were they just having some other wagers?”

Ace Marshall’s picture comes up.

Chapel: “And what about Ace? Rumour has it that he spent some time with the Dark Fantasy duo over the last couple of days. Some have suggested this is more than just bets and something more…”

Chapel winks at the screen. We then see a shot of Gable Winchester.

Chapel: “Was Gable Winchester involved in a fight outside of SCW a few weeks back? Details are sketchy, but we’ve heard from some witnesses that Gable Winchester was attacked by two men while he was out in public. Details of why are unknown as witnesses just saw the attack. The events had Gable hospitalized briefly, but this could also explain Gable’s limited appearances as of late and his inconsistency in the ring, depending on when it happened. If he’s dealing with some of the injuries still of that, it could hamper him later tonight.”

Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson are then shown on the screen.

Chapel: “But that may not be the only issue in Gable’s life. Autumn Valentine has been seen wearing a new ring while in public and at fanfest. Is the relationship with Ryan Watson more than has been suggested? Is it more than just a business partnership?”

Lexy Chapel leans down, looking up with her eyes. The image changes as we see Regan Street, Mikaela Street and Josh Hudson.

Chapel: “In news that should not shock anymore, Regan Street, Mikaela Street and Josh Hudson arrived together to the University of Phoenix Stadium. But along with that, Sienna Swann arrived with them too. Could this be a follow-up to some of Regan Street’s support? Sienna Swann’s entourage came to the arena shortly after, but Sienna usually travels with them.

Kelcey Wallace is then shown up on the screen.

Chapel: “And finally, Kelcey Wallace was seen having an important meeting with Mr. D. It was closed door, so we don’t know what she was talking to him about, but Kelcey looked relieved upon exiting and with some noticing that Kelcey Wallace has been talking about winding things down, perhaps to start a family, even saying this would be her last Rise to Greatness, you wonder what that meeting was actually about.”

Chapel then smiles as the camera centres by on her.

Chapel: “Those are some of the latest news and notes coming out from some of the names here at Rise to Greatness. Jessica?”

We then cut to a shot of the inside of the University of Phoenix Stadium as we see fans filling into their seats. Some cheer and wave at the camera as it passes by.

Jessica: “Thank you Lexy. With it being a big event, every little thing could be important, especially for frame of mind or strategic purposes or even focus, so a lot going on. Speaking of focus, let’s go backstage as Spirit Dansby is waiting backstage and standing by with Mr. D, who had a lot to focus about last night after the BREE-Show.”

We cut to outside of what appears to be Mr. D’s office to see Spirit Dansby in a beautiful dress, standing next to Mr. D who is in a suit.

Spirit: “Thank you Jessica and Mr. D, a lot of people are talking about some of the events of the BREE-Show and some of the controversy around some of the matches. But first, before we get to that, we should ask if you have any retort to the rather stiff comments by Regan Street.”

Mr. D nods and turns to Spirit.

Mr. D: “At this point, I have no comment. If that’s what Regan thinks, if she wants to vocalize it, that’s her call. I will deal with any response to her comments after Rise to Greatness.”

Spirit: “Fair enough. More crucially for right now, the SCW World Tag Team Championship. AJ Helms and Torsten Voigt defeated The F-Ups, but Blake Mason restarted the match. In the restart, Lexi von Aaron got involved and the F-Ups won the Tag Team Championships, leaving with them at the end of the night. There was always a lot of grey area over whether that match was sanctioned or not.”

Mr. D: “Well it wasn’t. I however elected to see what happened. The F-Ups, despite their unique attitudes and sometimes questionable actions, they wanted a shot. AJ Helms was willing to walk in there and defend it. Had it gone off without a hitch, I’d be willing to recognize it. And we will recognize it…we’ll recognize the first match where AJ and Torsten managed to defeat the F-Ups. The restart was not by an SCW sanctioned official. It was done for Blake Mason to flex his muscles and it just tells me that Blake Mason may be another issue in the future too, given how he’s looking to use his money for his benefit.”

Mr. D pauses.

Mr. D: “But regarding the World Tag Team Championships, the restart never occurred officially. AJ Helms retained. That said, I will note that I’ve been unnecessarily stubborn on some of the matters with the Tag Team Championship. His next defense will be at Apocalypse and he can choose his own partner for that night. He’s been through enough. I’m not going to take out my frustrations on others on him. Whoever he chooses, that’s his choice. But he is still holding the World Tag Team Championship.”

Spirit: “Thank you.”

Mr. D nods and heads back into his office.

Spirit: “Back to you Jessica.”

We then cut to a shot of the scaffold which is rigged to be above the ring to be lowered down.

Jessica: “Thank you Spirit. And there you see the scaffold structure that will be lowered down to an acceptable and safer height. It’s on a track with those metal pillars which will allow people to climb up. It’s going to be a very dangerous match, but they just found out one thing – if they take the Tag Team Championship title shot, they face AJ Helms and someone else at Apocalypse.”

Shawn: “Imagine how the F-Ups feel. Juice had to probably hear some ungodly noises from Imogen and Beard and whatever they did with that belt and now they have to give it back.”

Jessica: “And we’ve been told that there are some open entrees for that match. SCW officials have approved some extra entrants as Jake Starr pointed out, it’s all about opportunity. Singles title match on the line too for Apocalypse.”

Jessica pauses.

Jessica: “But in terms of consequences, two matches stand above them all. Selena Frost faces Vixen Cain in one of them and whoever wins gets a World Title shot on Breakdown in Toronto on August 23. But if Vixen wins, he gets the title shot, the Watchman Program is back for Merrick Wiseman and Selena Frost has to dye her hair red.”

Shawn: “And Vixen Cain has been a thorn in the side of Selena Frost for months. Took the World Title from her. Tried to cost her Taking Hold of the Flame. Stopped her from regaining the title. Even taking her on a bit of a joyride with her bus. All of this coming to a head with Selena Frost giving Vixen Cain whatever her wanted for this match. Cain could make out like a bandit.”

Jessica: “But who will the winner face? World Championship on the line tonight. Ace Marshall challenges Kelcey Wallace.”

Shawn: “Both have history with Cain and Selena. But they’re focusing on each other. One year after Kelcey Wallace, in a different attitude, different stage of her career, she was saying Ace Marshall was a joke. Ace Marshall has made it clear that he heard her and is doubling down. Kelcey Wallace meanwhile is back to the Kelcey Wallace of old. Back on top and with the World Title and that makes her as dangerous as anyone else. Ace Marshall, we should note, I ran with him all the time, he specializes in getting people to not take him seriously and to get under their skin. He beat a whole bunch of World Champions years ago then. He did it last year. He hopes to do it again tonight.”

Jessica: “We will find out what happens. Thank you for joining us for this brief look at Rise to Greatness as we get ready. We’re only moments away. The biggest night in wrestling is here. Sit back, enjoy the ride! For Shawn Winters, I’m Jessica Winters. Welcome to Rise to Greatness!”

We then cut out to show the crowd in their seats as the cameras pan around the stadium. This image continues for a few moments longer before we cut away.

An FBI Warning is shown on the screen.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

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

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

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up in the inside of University of Phoenix Stadium. The crowd cheers as the cameras pan throughout the crowd.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Rise! To! Greatness!”

The crowd erupts in cheers as the scene cuts to the ring to show Jason Phillips standing in the middle of the ring.

Phillips: “Could you all please rise for the singing of America the Beautiful by Phoenix-born country musician, Dierks Bentley!”

We cut to the stage to see Dierks Bentley with a guitar in his hand. He start to play the opening on his guitar. The crowd cheers a bit as they start to rise to their feet.

“O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! “

“O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!”

“O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!”

“O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”

The crowd cheers as Dierks Bentley steps back and holds his arms up and waves and looks around. He smiles a bit as the crowd continues to cheer. The cameras pan across the crowd. The cameras continue to show the many fans cheering before scene fades to black.

We open up to see a shot of Simon Lyman walking out of his locker room. He just looks around and takes a deep breath.

Simon: “It’s a been a long year. A challenging year…”

We then see a shot of Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost in the roofed cage as we see Blake Mason and Bree Lancaster leaving the ring at Retribution.

Sharper: “The B&B Experience, somehow, managing to squeak this out. Bree’s a mess. Blake’s a mess.”

We cut to then show Dante McCaffery looking at Alexis Quinne.

Quinne: “Dante….”

Dante: “It’s over Alexis…”

Quinne: “W…why?”

Dante: “This is why you went out first. So you couldn’t stop me in ending this.”

Quinne looks stunned as Dante then nails her in the head with a baton of some sort. We then see Dante leaving the ring as Dawn Lohan covers Alexis Quinne in the Tactical Warfare match.

Simon: “Many challenges…”

We see a shot of Ethan von Aaron looking at Kennedy Street as Kennedy Street is down on the ground outside of the ring at Taking Hold of the Flame.

Kennedy: “What the hell are you doing? Get the hell out of here!”

Ethan: “You want this. I will take you to Rise to Greatness!”

Kennedy: “Leave!”

Ethan: “No!”

We then cut to a shot of Selena Frost getting attacked by Merrick Wiseman in the concourse of the arena at Taking Hold of the Flame. Vixen Cain looks on smiling.

Cain: “You wanted to face me Selena….only on my terms, Frosty! Only on my terms!”

We then cut to see AJ Helms tied up as Lexi von Aaron leans over him at a strip club, leaning over him as she backs up.

Lexi: “Come on AJ. You know you wanted this.”

Lexi spins around as we cut to show Regan Street attacking Jinn before we see Marie Jones and Tyler Tucker helping. We then see a shot of Syren down backstage, bloodied.

Sharper: “My God! Someone got Syren!”

Syren is then shown being checked by EMTs as we cut to Simon Lyman again.

Lyman: “There have been many surprises…”

We then see Ace Marshall running out from the back at Taking Hold of the Flame.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, the former World Champion, is number five!”

This is followed by a shot of William Hush in the ring before seeing him attack Merrick Wiseman and then Gigi. We see Amy slowly getting up as Amy looks at William Hush confused before we see Amy snapping at Hush to leave.

Sharper: “William Hush?! We haven’t seen him since the Daughters of Destruction destroyed him last fall!”

Winters: “What the hell is he doing in Mexico?!”

Sharper: “Coming out to save Kara Abheri and Amy Chastaine it looks like, but the history…he and Chastaine have been long time rivals! Remember last fall?”

We then see Syren standing in the ring at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts, calling out her attacked before a hooded crewmember attacks her. We then see the hooded member throw back his hood.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson! Hudson attacking Syren!”

Knots: “Hot damn!”

This is followed by a shot of Jay Gold shown backstage hurt as Mr. D and Dean Black look on. We then cut to show Taylor Chase walking down to the ring, smiling as Shaun Cruze and Blake Mason look at her stunned. We cut back to Simon and we see him smiling.

Simon: “But there’s been a lot of great moments and memories as people rose to the occasion.”

We then see Kelcey Wallace holding the SCW World Championship as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace back on top of the world here in SCW”

We cut to see Amy Chastaine celebrating as Adrenaline Champion.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and NEW SCW Adrenaline Champion, Amy Chastaine!”

We see Amy holding the championship and smiling. This is followed by a shot of Jake Starr, Ace Marshall and Gable Winchester winning the SCW Trios Tournament before cutting to shots of Tyler Tucker, Marie Jones and Jinn celebrating with the SCW United States Championship. We then cut to show Ravyn Taylor holding the SCW Television Championship before showing Sienna Swann upset backstage.

Simon: “Some that just needed to happen.”

We then see Simon Lyman and Donovan Kayl in the ring as they hug and Kayl and Lyman can be seen talking before showing Lyman, Kayl, Starr and Tommy Valentine celebrating at the end of their tag team match on Breakdown a few weeks ago.

Simon: “But it’s not yet cause to completely celebrate. Some work left to be done. Another night…one more night…the biggest night in wrestling…”

We then cut to promotional shots of Sienna Swann holding her Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Ravyn Taylor holding the SCW Television Championship. We see a shot of the Scaffold for the Scaffold Scramble and see Angelica Jones, Kayla Jones, Adrenaline Rush, and Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine. We cut to a shot of Vixen Cain who stands with Merrick Wiseman as we see a shot of Cain laughing before showing Selena Frost standng in the middle of a blizzard as part of her promotional shot. We see Syren attacking Hudson with a steel chair before cutting to a shot of Shaun Cruze driving Blake Mason through a table at Supreme Saturday: Puerto Rico.

From this we see Ravyn Taylor throwing glitter in the face of Sienna before showing Sienna Swann posing for her picture with Ravyn Taylor on the latest edition of Breakdown. Simon is then shown smiling again as we see him walking to the tunnel to go to the ring in his entrance attire.

Simon: “And it will be Simply Sensational.”

He smiles as he heads through the curtain as the scene fades to black.

“Believer” by Imagine Dragons plays as we see a shot of a desert before the camera runs along it and up towards what appears to the outside of the University of Phoenix Stadium. We see a shot of the sun before cutting to a shot of the arena with the Rise to Greatness logo next to it.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Supreme Championship Wrestling presents….Rise to Greatness!”

The Rise to Greatness logo remains on the screen for a few moments before we cut to the inside of the University of Phoenix Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona. The crowd roars as pyro shoots up the rampway and to the stage before shooting high into the air. It goes back and forth, shooting off sparks into the air before surrounding the big screen and the several small screens before firing one last shot into the air as the crowd cheers as spotlights circle around the arena. The cameras pan across the crowd. We see fans in the upper decks before showing some fans along the rampway and then showing several fans in the crowd, waving banners and posters.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Phoenix, Arizona for the fourteen annual Rise to Greatness! The biggest show in wrestling is here!”

We cut to a shot of the scaffold over the ring before showing some shots of fans at ringside. We then cut to the ring to see SCW ring announcer, Jason Phillips in the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, your opening contest is the fatal four way elimination match for the SCW United States Championship and has a thirty minute time limit!”

The SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. The lights dim. We then see a giant shot of a fiery cat dive at the crowd from the entrance way, taking up the entire structure. We see a swipe from the cat as pyro shoots out from the stage. “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black starts to play. The crowd starts to boo as we see Mikaela Street walk out from the back before turning back as we see Regan Street walk out, looking out at the crowd confidently. The boos only increase.

Phillips: “The first challenger, accompanied by Mikaela Street, she is from Malibu, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”

Regan just smirks before starting to head to the ring. Mikaela follows a few feet behind. They then begin to make their long walk down the rampway as a nameplate comes up on the screen. The camera follows them down a bit before we cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Joanthan Knots at the announce table.

Sharper: “Hello again, everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots at ringside. It’s Rise to Greatness and you can feel in the air.”

Knots: “It’s the night so many people look forward to and it’s a night that tonight, Regan Street is going to look to finally take what she feels has been her for a long time.”

Sharper: “The United States Championship kicking this off, here tonight!”

We cut back to the ring as Regan Street is now in the ring. Mikaela shows her off as Regan walks around the ring, jawing at the crowd. They boo her more as her music fades out. We cut to the rampway as a spotlight shines down on the stage as fire shoot out from both sides of the stage as “Haunted” by Taylor Swift plays throughout the arena. We then see Marie Annabelle Jones walk out from the back. She looks around the stadium and nods. Her nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The second challenger, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the Phoenix, Marie Annabelle Jones!”

Marie Jones walks down to the ring. The camera cuts to a wide shot briefly as Marie Jones looks around the stadium as she heads down the rampway.

Sharper: “Let us now check in with our Spanish colleagues, Carlos Perez and Miguelito Hernandez!”

We cut to the Spanish announce table to see Perez and Hernandez.

Perez: “Gracias Adam. Y estamos aquí para lo que será una noche histórica!”

Hernandez: “Es una noche en la que hay mucho en juego. Grandes consecuencias. Alto riesgo. Alta recompensa. Pero es una noche que muchos esperan hacer sus nombres!”

We then cut to the ring as Marie Jones enters the ring. She looks at Regan Street as the official keeps her back. Marie just watches her as Regan paces back and forth as she looks at Marie. Marie starts to take off her entrance attire as we cut back to the entrance way. A shot of deep brown eyes come up on the big screen before zooming out to show Stacy Kissinger’s face. The big screen cuts out as “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten starts to play. The crowd cheers a bit as we then see Stacy Kissinger walk out from the back. She looks around as she poses at the top. The nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “The third challenger, representing Adrenaline Rush, she is from Dallas, Texas, the Solid Gold Sensation, Stacy Kissinger!”

Kissinger starts to head to the ring. The camera follows her down as Kissinger keeps her eyes on the ring as she makes the long walk down the rampway.

Sharper: “And now, let’s introduce you to our French announcers, Pierre Broussard and Ahren Arachne!”

We cut to the French announce table at ringside.

Broussard: “Bienvenue à Rise to Greatness ici en direct à partir de Phoenix, en Arizona. C'est une nuit chaude. La foule chaude. L'action à venir!”

Arachne: “Ace Marshall et Kelcey Wallace pour le Championnat SCW. Selena Frost et Vixen Cain avec beaucoup sur la ligne. Quinze matchs ce soir. Allons-y!”

We then see Kissinger sliding into the ring. She gets up and Marie and her look at one another as Regan backs off a bit. The referee stays in front of her as Kissinger and Marie stand on the same side of the ring watching Regan. We then cut to the big screen as we see a shot of stars on the screen before we see a shot of a ship bursting past the screen before we hear an explosion, leading to a huge burst of flames. We then see 32XX on the screen before quickly counting backwards to 2017. The big screen suddenly goes bright white as smoke fills the entrance way. A few moments pass as the smoke suddenly is sucked down into the stage and we see Jinn on one knee in the middle in his battle armour with the SCW United States Championship around his waist. The crowd roars as Jinn looks around. He then looks out at the crowd with wonder and awe. His nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “And finally, from Parts Unknown, he is the reigning and defending SCW United States Champion, Jinn!”

Jinn then looks around before running down the rampway. The crowd roars as Jinn jogs down to the ring and stops before quickly unclipping his armour and dropping it down and placing it next to the steel steps. He does the same with any other entrance gear. He then hops onto the apron and slingshots to the top rope and holds the SCW United States Championship over his head. He turns and hops down as he looks around and Marie and Stacy look at him. Regan just eyes Jinn as Jinn hands off the US Championship to the official.

Sharper: “US Championship kicking us off here. Jinn making his way to the ring. He looks ready to go.”

Knots: “He looks like he’s in awe of this crowd. This is a huge crowd. I hope he’s ready for his. Regan looks ready to destroy him. Marie and Stacy look ready to fight.”

Sharper: “And you wonder what may be awaiting Regan Street. We didn’t get any comments from Mr. D in the Free for All on Regan’s comments last night.”

Knots: “She had an open mic. It’s free speech.”

Sharper: “Just more disrespect. But Marie Jones, Stacy Kissinger and Jinn are going to try and make sure Regan Street gets some humility and respect. That’s why she’s in here. To stop her evil.”

Knots: “Some idiot kid saying that.”

Sharper: “Jinn’s proven to be quite dangerous as have Stacy Kissinger and Marie Jones!”

Knots: “So is Regan!”

The bell sounds as Regan quickly goes over and grabs Marie and pulls her away. She turns and spins her into the corner and kicks her in the ribs and then again and again as Stacy and Jinn run over and grab Regan. They push her back. The crowd roars as Regan gets up and Stacy and Jinn hit a double dropkick onto Regan. Regan falls back and rolls out of the ring. Jinn turns and looks over as the referee then tells Stacy or Jinn to exit the ring. Jinn then looks around before pointing to himself. Stacy backs up and goes over to the corner. She exits to the apron. Jinn turns and checks on Marie. Marie just nods before Jinn backs up. He watches as Marie nods and walks out of the corner.

Knots: “This idiot is letting Marie get up!”

Sharper: “He wants to start this match properly. With Marie up and ready to go. Not down in the corner!”

She walks around and just then, Regan rolls back into the ring. The crowd roars and Jinn turns and grabs Regan, but Regan grabs him and spins him around and throws him through the ropes to the floor. Regan then turns and kicks Marie in the ribs before she can get settled. She kicks her again and goes to whip her across the ring, but Marie spins through and sends Regan in. Regan bounces off and Marie jumps up and hits a hurricanrana. The crowd roars as Marie goes for the pin. The referee however waves it off as Regan isn’t the legal competitor. Marie lets go and falls forward. She gets up and Jinn slowly rolls back into the ring. Regan then turns and cuffs Marie from behind before backing up and exiting to the apron. She holds her hands up as the crowd boos. Marie just turns as Jinn looks at Marie and Marie turns around and drills Regan with a hard right. The crowd cheers. Marie then snaps at her.

Sharper: “Hard right hand and Regan Street floored right in front of us!”

Knots: “Another cheap shot. That seems to be her specialty! Against Mikaela at Taking Hold of the Flame and Regan tonight!’

Marie backs up and then turns to Jinn. Jinn just looks around as Marie then tells him to come at her. Jinn nods and then runs at her. Marie goes for a clothesline. Jinn ducks and jumps to the middle turnbuckle. Marie turns around. Jinn backflips back. Marie steps forward and Jinn backs up to the middle of the ring. Marie turns to him and jinn and hits a Japanese arm drag. The crowd roars. Jinn gets up as does Marie. Jinn then kicks Marie in the ribs and whips her into the ropes. Marie bounces off the ropes and Jinn jumps up for a clothesline. Marie ducks and bounces off the other side. She then jumps up and hits a flipping clothesline. She nips up and turns and Jinn gets up too and Marie grabs his arm and wrenches it and goes for a short-arm clothesline. Jinn ducks and handsprings into the ropes before turning around and nailing Marie with a jumping enziguri kick. The crowd ohs.

Knots: “This is like a damn video game!”

Sharper: “Jinn off the ropes! Handspring enziguri. Marie down!”

Jinn goes for the pin.

Marie kicks out. She turns and Jinn gets up and grabs her. Jinn forearms her and then again before pushing her into the ropes. He fires her off. Marie bounces off and Jinn scoops her up, but Marie spins through and lands on her feet. She kicks him in the ribs and backs up and hits a knee lift. He falls to the ropes. Marie turns and runs at him, but Jinn lowers his head and launches her up and over to the apron. Marie lands on the apron. Jinn turns and jumps up for a pump kick to the head, but Marie ducks and Jinn lands on his feet, using the ropes to help him before Marie grabs the top rope and slingshots in with a dropkick. Jinn rolls through and gets to his feet. He runs at her and Marie ducks and spins around him and snaps him back with a German suplex.

Jinn rolls his shoulder up. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Snap German! Not enough.”

Knots: “And there’s where Jinn’s speed hurts him. The little guy is bouncing around and Marie got the leverage there.”

Sharper: “And the bridge. But now she’s tagging out. A reprieve from her as this match has gone at one-hundred and sixty miles an hour since Jinn and her touched.”

Marie tags in Kissinger who climbs up to the top rope. Jinn slowly gets up and Kissinger dives off with a double axe handle smash. Kissinger goes for the pin.

Jinn kicks out. Jinn turns and Kissinger runs into the ropes. She bounces off and clubs Jinn in the back. Jinn falls to the ropes. The crowd boos a bit as Kissinger pulls him up and nails him with a hard forearm and then another. She goes to whip him into the ropes. Jinn flips into the ropes, bounces off and jumps up and snaps Kissinger off with a frankensteiner. The crowd roars. Jinn then runs into the ropes, but Regan cuffs him in the back of the head. The crowd boos. Jinn falls to a knee and Regan reaches out and properly tags herself in. She enters as Jinn rolls over and Kissinger gets up and Regan kicks her in the ribs and then chops her. The crowd woos.

Sharper: “Regan back in, cuffing Jinn. If you’re wondering at home, why that wasn’t a tag. Here in SCW, the officials are calling wrestling as they should. Legitimate tags.”

We open backstage as we see Dean Black and Christina Matsui in one of the hallways. We see Juice holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship belt in his hand, just looking at it.

Beard: “This is BS! Complete BS. We kicked AJ’s ass in the middle of the ring and that Rolston guy too!”

Christina: “You didn’t earn it in a legitimate match. You needed Blake Mason to fudge it and it was already questionable as a sanctioned match. That put it over the top.”

Beard: “Well take it out on him! I mean look at Juice. It’s like his first girlfriend. And now you’re telling him she’s cheating on him with AJ!”

Christina: “You two didn’t earn it.”

Imogen: “Didn’t earn it? Hot damn did they earn it, kicking both of their asses and if that doesn’t prove anything, Beard was hotter than ever before and you don’t want to know what that belt’s been involved in. It’s practically part of us now!”

Juice then looks up. He then drops the belt. He starts to rub his hands on his tights. Black then walks over and grabs it.

Beard: “Yo…seriously…you just got to at least third base with her just by touching that.”

Black just looks at him.

Imogen: “I think that’s totally sexual harassment!”

Christina: “Just, come on…we have the belt. We’ll give AJ the other one that D’s been holding.”

Beard: “See! He’s not even a team! Just a man! We’re more than that…a team…and I am a man…with a beard! That’s better than him alone!”

Imogen: “Damn right!”

Juice just looks at Beard and Imogen as Black and Christina walk off.

Juice: “Dude…you could’ve told me-“

Beard: “Didn’t want you to get jelly, man. What we did with that belt…Pornhub level stuff.”

Juice turns away.

Juice: “The hell man! I touched it!”

Beard just chuckles.

Beard: “Yeah…”

Juice: “I have to now go wash my hands!”

He turns and walks off. Imogen and Beard then watch him go as we cut away.

The stage lights dim as we see several spotlights come down on the stage.

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

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless plays as the crowd boos. A few moments pass before we see Autumn Valentine walk out from the back. She stands in the middle of the spotlights. Ryan Watson then walks out from the back and stands with her. The boos continue as Autumn looks around. Her nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by Ryan Watson, from Anaheim, California, she is Autumn Valentine!”

The camera follows Autumn and Ryan as they start to walk down the rampway and down to the ring. The crowd continues to boo as the duo make their way down to the ring. Watson holds her hand as they get to the bottom of the ramp and go over to the steel steps. Autumn walks up them and Ryan hops onto the apron and holds the ropes open for Autumn. She steps through. She then goes to the corner and climbs up to the middle rope as Ryan points to her, yelling at the crowd. The crowd continues to boo as Autumn looks around before taking off her ring jacket and handing it to Ryan. Autumn hops down and walks around the ring as Ryan hops down and walks around the ring to her corner. Autumn leans back in the corner awaiting her opponent.

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine stunning the world by being the individual behind the attack that kept Jay Gold out of his return at Taking Hold of the Flame. She’s got Ryan Watson back by her side as her manager.”

Knots: “And that’s not it. I’m hearing rumours that they’re married. I saw Autumn with a ring earlier!”

Sharper: “Perhaps that was from Gable-“

Knots: “If it was, Gable was looking pretty down. Autumn could be having a big weekend if she can keep Jay Gold on the retirement line too.”

Sharper: “That, my friend, is much easier said than done!”

The crowd starts to roar.

“UNTIL THE DAY I DIEEEEEEEEEE!”

The crowd roars as golden hues come over the entrance area and “Until the Day I Die” starts to play throughout the arena. A few moments pass before Jay Gold walks out from the back in his wrestling gear. He looks around and nods before pointing around to the crowd. The crowd continues to cheer as golden sparks come down from the top of the stage on both sides. Jay Gold’s nameplate then comes up.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Albany, New York, he is the first ever Supreme Champion in SCW History and an SCW Hall of Famer, the Master of the Moment, Jay Gold!”

The crowd roars as Jay Gold then starts to make his way down the ring. He looks around as he then turns to the ring as Autumn and Ryan talk in the corner. Jay Gold continues to make his way down the ramp before getting to the ring. He then runs up the steel steps and walks along the apron, peering out to the corner. He then turns and steps into the ring and walks across the ring before stepping up to the middle rope. Autumn exits to the floor as Gold poses and golden sparks come out of the ringposts. The crowd cheers as Gold hops down off the ropes and backs up. He turns his attention to Autumn as Autumn walks around the ring a bit before hopping onto the apron. She slowly enters the ring.

Sharper: “Jay Gold looks ready to go. The first ever Supreme Champion. A Hall of Famer.”

Knots: “And he’s got a few years of ring rust.”

Sharper: “But he’s got the best motivation in the world. He wants to earn some savings for his daughter. He wants to compete for his daughter. He wants to do what he can to give her a better future and it was almost cast entirely in doubt by Autumn Valentine with one decision she and Watson made two months ago.”

Knots: “He took a spot she figured could be for her. Now she’s got attention!”

Sharper: “But the wrong kind, Jon.”

The referee calls for the bell and the crowd cheers. Steve Hollinsworth is the man in the middle as Jay Gold looks at Autumn and Autumn walks around the ring. Jay Gold focuses on her for a moment before Ryan hops onto the apron. Jay lunges towards him and immediately, Autumn moves in and kicks Jay in the ribs. Jay winces and falls to the ropes. Autumn kicks him again. She forearms him in the jaw and then again and again. The crowd boos loudly as the referee counts.

Autumn backs off and walks around the ring, extending her arms. The crowd boos some more as Ryan chuckles and applauds. Jay looks over and Autumn turns around and Jay suddenly runs out and clotheslines Autumn down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And right off the bat! Autumn took advantage of Ryan, but Jay Gold wasn’t going to just let Autumn get one over like that!”

Knots: “Okay, he can still throw a clothesline. That’s something!”

Autumn rolls over and starts to get up and Jay Gold wrenches her arm and the crowd roars as Autumn winces. Jay wrenches it again. He then turns and locks in a hammerlock. Autumn winces and reaches out and looks around. Jay looks around the arena before moving into a side headlock takedown. He turns into a pin.

Autumn kicks out. Jay gets up and Autumn gets up and turns and runs at him and Jay hits a hip toss. Autumn rolls over and gets back up and Jay hits another hip toss. Autumn gets up and Jay steps forward, but Autumn quickly rolls to the floor. She backs up to Watson as the crowd roars. Jay looks around. (1)

Sharper: “And Jay Gold looking pretty damn good in that ring!”

Autumn paces a bit. (2) Jay remains in the ring and Autumn then turns and goes to the apron. She slowly enters and Jay then walks over and Autumn reaches up and rakes his eyes. Jay staggers back.

Gold then turns out and extends his knee and throws her forward and face first into it. Autumn pops back and falls to the mat.

Sharper: “A variation of a snake eyes and a GTS.”

Knots: “Oh God. Autumn. Slow it down!”

Autumn gets up and hits a flipping leg drop to the back of his head. The crowd boos.

Autumn falls to her hands and knees. Gold then looks around and stands over her as the crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Gold! I think he’s thinking about giving Autumn Valentine the Golden Moment!”

Knots: “No! Don’t! Don’t think that! Think anything else! Leave the ring! Cowardice is the better part of valour!”

Gold then pulls Autumn up and hooks her up, but Ryan Watson again, hops onto the apron. He starts to enter the ring, but Gold then runs over and grabs him and kicks him in the ribs.

Autumn Valentine and Ryan Watson slowly start to walk around the ring as Jay Gold remains down in the middle of the ring. The crowd boos as Autumn looks around and we then cut away.

We open up backstage outside of the locker rooms to see Spirit Dansby backstage with Regan Street and Mikaela Street. The crowd boos as Spirit turns to Regan. We notice some officials around, seemingly keeping the area safe, including the man named as Anderson Hyde. He just seems to be watching as Spirit begins.

Spirit: “Welcome backstage. Spirit Dansby here and a stunning start to Rise to Greatness with a new US Champion in Regan Street-“

Regan: “Stunning? There is nothing stunning about this. I just needed my fair shot and with the added motivation of making sure I got revenge for the assault on my beautiful, charming sister Mikaela, I made sure that Adrenaline Rush, that the Jones Family and especially that idiot do-gooder ended their flirtations with MY championship. I am the US Champion and the game changes now.”

Regan looks at the camera.

Regan: “First off, I hope that Selena Frost gets her precious little ass kicked by Vixen Cain just so she can realize that she’s leaving Rise to Greatness with NO hope of holding gold as I hold the championship she’s wanted for more than a year. And Mr. D….boss….now you have to deal with me holding this title and trust me, you’re going to hate every day of your pathetic life. Told you last night. I hold by every word I god damned said!”

Regan turns to the officials.

Regan: “Get the hell out of my way. I have some other bitches that I need to watch get their assed kicked tonight!”

Regan turns and heads off as Mikaela laughs too.

Spirit: “Back to ringside.”

We cut back to the ring.

The opening riff of "Life @ 11" by A Day To Remember hits the speaker system. As the drums kick in, two pyros shoot off from both sides of the ramp. The spotlights turn on, circling the area as we then see AJ Helms walk out from the back. He looks out to the crowd and looks to his shoulder which has the SCW World Tag Team Championship belt over it. He then turns and looks out at the crowd. He then shakes his head a bit before getting refocused. He then steps forward and jumps up, giving himself the Self-High Five as pyro shoots up in to the air again. He then looks around before starting to run down to the ring as his nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, he is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, from Ashbury Park by way of Hollywood Hills, California, he is A.J. Helms!”

He continues to run down to the ring before getting to the ring and sliding in feet first. He then gets up and runs over to the corner and jumps up to the middle rope. He doesn’t pose as usual. He just looks around before hopping down. He then slides his World Tag Team Championship off his shoulder and walks over to the corner, placing it down in the corner. He then starts to pace, realizing what will be joining him in that ring.

Sharper: “AJ Helms getting some good news. Mr. D will not recognize the second match at the BREE-Show. We heard that in the free for all.”

Knots: “A miscarriage of justice!”

Sharper: “And AJ Helms therefore is still the World Tag Team Champion. But he would love for something else to end instead and that’s this issue with Lexi von Aaron. He would love to get some normalcy and an opportunity to enjoy, and celebrate, the birth of his newborn with Scarlett Pearson.”

Knots: “Something that is only going to irk Lexi von Aaron more.”

The lights go out as the crowd roars. We then hear a gong. The gong continues as we see a shot of a clock showing midnight coming up on the big screen. The gonging continues, up to twelve times, as we see Lexi von Aaron sauntering out from the back, dressed in a black cloak. She has a scythe in her hand as her hair covers her face. She just looks down at the ring as AJ Helms looks at her. She continues to just look at her before pointing the scythe at AJ Helms. Lexi looks around as her nameplate comes up. The gonging the only sound other than the boos and Phillips’ voice.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is Lost Lexi!”

Lexi von Aaron slowly saunters to the ring. The camera cuts back to show AJ Helms in the ring, just watching Lexi as she heads to the ring. Lexi walks down the rampway before stopping at the base of it. She then drops the scythe before grabbing the cloak and throwing it off, throwing it down to the floor. She steps over it and then walks over to the ring and rolls in. She then slowly gets up, looking right at AJ Helms. Helms watches her as the crowd roars a bit, while some start to boo. Helms stretches out a bit with the use of the ropes.

Sharper: “The symbolism of the strike of midnight and the symbolism of death. The end of all of this and everything she wants to do to AJ Helms.”

Knots: “She wants to make sure no one else can enjoy him. She wants to ruin AJ for getting Scarlett pregnant and tainting himself. And just think, if he just realized he should’ve been with Lexi, he’d have a much easier time of things!”

Sharper: “Never mind that Lexi von Aaron also tried to take the Tag Team Championship from him, helping the F-Ups last night. That obviously did not go to plan.”

The bell sounds as Lexi looks at AJ as AJ walks around the ring. Lexi just looks at him and motions that she’s going to take him down with her. AJ shakes his head before moving in and going to grapple, but Lexi kicks him in the thigh. AJ backs up. Lexi just looks at AJ with a bit of a sadistic smirk. Lexi then goes for a spin kick to the head. AJ ducks and spins around. Lexi turns and AJ hits a dropkick. The crowd roars. Lexi hits the mat and rolls to the ropes. AJ backs up. Lexi gets up and runs at him and lets out a yell. She dives and AJ leapfrogs over. Lexi rolls over. She gets up and AJ hits a hip toss. Lexi gets up and AJ hits a kick to the ribs and then whips her into the corner. AJ runs after and Lexi gets her knees up. AJ catches her and then lifts her up and backflips her up and over the top rope and Lexi lands on her feet on the floor before rolling over.

Sharper: “AJ just throwing Lexi up and over.”

Knots: “Landed on her feet, but couldn’t stay there.”

Sharper: “Already, you can see the difference. AJ Helms is trying to compete. Lexi von Aaron is trying to take him out.”

Lexi gets up on the floor and AJ Helms watches. (1) Lexi then turns and walks over to the timekeeper and grabs him and throws him out of his chair. (2) AJ then drops down to the floor as Lexi grabs the ringbell. AJ runs over to Lexi and she turns trying to strike AJ. (1) AJ blocks it and grabs the ringbell and turns and pulls it away before throwing it down. (2) Lexi then turns and kicks him in the ribs. AJ falls back and rolls into the steel steps. (3) He gets up and Lexi hits a straight kick to the chest and AJ goes up and over the steps and lands hard on the mats. (4) He starts to get up as Lexi jumps onto the steel steps and dives forward and tackles him down. (5) She starts to drive AJ’s head over and over into the mats. The crowd boos. (6)

Sharper: “Lexi just all over AJ! And the referee is counting them out!”

Knots: “Get in the ring! Or does she not want to win?”

Sharper: “I don’t think she is even hearing the referee!”

Knots: “Or fake it’s the heat and hope he takes pity on her!”

Lexi drives AJ over and over again before she gets up and looks around.(7) Several fans can be seen pointing at the ring as Lexi ignores them. She turns and looks at the official who is counting. (8) She hops onto the apron and snaps him. The referee points out that this is a standard match. Lexi then steps into the ring and starts to approach the official as the referee backs up. AJ grabs at the ring apron and enters the ring. He rolls over and gets up and Lexi continues to accost the official before AJ Helms runs up from behind and nails Lexi, knocking her into the official. The official hits the ropes hard and rolls over to the apron. AJ then looks up and quickly turns and clearly shows his anger. He then turns and grabs Lexi and shakes his head.

Sharper: “AJ accidentally taking down the official by trying to save him by going after Lexi.”

Knots: “Or he’s trying to do some horrible thing himself to get Lexi off his case!”

Sharper: “Perhaps just overzealous. Lexi von Aaron has been a thorn in AJ’s side for nearly a year.”

AJ staggers Lexi up and hooks her up and snaps her over with a snap suplex. Lexi turns and AJ looks around before turning and going over to the official. He checks on him before the official turns slowly, holding his neck.

Sharper: “AJ trying to check on the official. Taking Lexi down.”

Knots: “Yeah, trying to play the good guy!”

Helms slowly starts to help him up and Lexi gets up and runs over and jumps up, nailing AJ Helms in the back of the head with a knee. AJ falls into the official, knocking him off the apron and the official falls to the mats. The crowd ohs and AJ falls back. He rolls over and Lexi walks over and kicks him hard in the ribs. She then knees him in the ribs and before kneeing him again and then running into the ropes, bouncing off and nailing Helms with a diving knee to the side of the head. AJ falls over and down to the mat. Lexi then starts to look around as AJ holds his jaw and Lexi then turns and exits to the apron. She drops down and looks under the ring. She looks around and then smiles as she grabs a kendo stick. She backs up and looks at AJ and then rolls into the ring. The crowd looks on, booing a bit.

Sharper: “The official down. Lexi von Aaron has a kendo stick.”

Knots: “And time for AJ Helms to find his night ending fast!”

Lexi gets up as AJ starts to get up and looks up at the big screen, trying to see where Lexi is, but as he does, Lexi nails him in the back with the kendo stick. The crowd ohs and AJ falls to his hands and knees. Lexi then nails him in the back again. He falls over. Lexi then looks at AJ and smiles before looking around. AJ ends up on his back and just then, Lexi turns and steps over to his legs. AJ grimaces in pain and Lexi kicks his right leg over and then his left, spreading them out. Lexi then starts to point the kendo stick down at AJ waist. The crowd starts to roar.

Sharper: “Oh no…”

Knots: “You know what she’s doing! Scarlett Pearson’s pregnancy is what set her off! It set her off big and she’s making sure no one else can ever have AJ!”

Sharper: “We need another official. We need something!”

At this point, we see another official, Jackson Kohl, running down from the back. Lexi doesn’t see them and then lifts the kendo stick up as the crowd roars only for AJ to then kick Lexi in the ribs. The crowd roars. Lexi staggers back and still holds onto the kendo stick. AJ rolls over and starts to get up and turns and Lexi turns and runs over and AJ kicks her in the ribs. Lexi falls over and drops the kendo stick. The second official enters the ring and quickly kicks the kendo stick away. He turns and checks on AJ quickly before Helms waves him off. Lexi starts to get up and AJ points to the first official. Kohl heads over as Helms turns and Lexi turns around and Helms kicks her in the ribs and hooks her up and hoists her over, before letting her drop and hitting a neckbreaker. Helms slowly rolls over, holding his back.

Sharper: “AJ Helms taking down Lexi von Aaron. We have a second official and AJ again focusing on the first one.”

Knots: “Yeah, probably because he wants to use that kendo stick!”

Sharper: “Despite his rough couple of months, the young man has shown to be very principled. Has a lot of integrity. And even with Lexi, he had the patience of a saint at times. He wanted this to end peacefully. Not like this!”

Knots: “Yeah. He values his testicles!”

Helms gets up and Kohl helps the first official up and we see a couple of backstage officials heading down the rampway, jogging down to help the first one to the back. Helms turns and grabs Lexi and whips her into the corner. Helms runs after and nails her with a clothesline. The crowd roars. Helms steps back and then lifts her up onto his shoulders and flips through with a Samoan roll. Helms then gets up and hits a moonsault. He then looks around and grabs at Lexi and goes for the pin. He glances up and then notices that they’re still focusing on the first official. He gets up and turns and grabs Lexi. He pulls Lexi up and just as she does before Lexi low blows Helms. The crowd ohs and Helms grimaces and bends over a bit. Lexi crawls past him and looks around for the kendo stick before then turning and kicking Helms right between the legs from behind. Helms just crumples down. Helms turns and kicks at the mat in pain. Lexi then looks at him, her hair in her face.

Lexi: “You’re not getting out of this! I am going to take you down with me! She can’t have you if I can’t have you. You will NEVER be happy again! You took THAT from me!”

Lexi then stomps him in the face. Helms rolls over, holding himself still. We then finally see Kohl turn back to the ring and roll in. Lexi looks at him and Kohl backs off a bit.

Sharper: “Lexi has snapped!”

Knots: “Something else did too. She immediately got Helms down. Two shots right beneath the belt!”

Sharper: “This young lady needs help-“

Knots: “So does Helms!”

Sharper: “What is she thinking? She’s berating him. Stomping him. Is she toying with him or are the gears turning?”

Knots: “Did they ever turn?”

Lexi stomps AJ again and then again and again. Helms rolls over. The crowd starts to chant for AJ as Lexi then rolls him back onto his back. She then stomps him in the face again before turning over and stepping onto his crotch. She looks down, pushing down. AJ winces as the referee warns her. Lexi then steps forward and drops down, mounting on top of AJ. AJ looks at her and goes to push away and Lexi nails him in the face with a hard right and then another. She grabs the arm and pulls it away. She leans in as the camera gets in close.

Lexi: “This could have been yours…but no…you had to destroy that….and ME too…Well…now you find out what that leads to!”

Lexi then nails him again in the jaw and then again before leaning in and starting to choke AJ. AJ struggles as the referee counts.

Lexi continues to push down before Helms starts to push up on Lexi’s face. She starts to bite and AJ grimaces as Lexi keeps trying to bite him. Helms then pushes her back and Lexi falls over. Lexi rolls over and starts to get up and the crowd cheers a bit as Helms slowly pulls himself up and Lexi runs at him and goes for a running knee. Helms side steps and Lexi stops before turning and Helms hits the Wake Up Call. The crowd erupts in cheers. Lexi falls over in a heap.

Sharper: “Wake Up Call! And Lexi needs one! He’s not interested!”

Knots: “And Lexi von Aaron was trying to choke the life out of him, but Helms shoving her back!”

Sharper: “Lexi moving though. Helms trying to compete like this is a regular match, but he can’t. Still trying to take that high road, despite everything! Lexi von Aaron however is just trying to maim him. To hurt him. To take something from him as she’s gone on this downward spiral!”

Lexi rolls over and grabs at the ropes. She looks out, her hair still covering her face and she turns around and looks at Helms as Helms pulls himself up and Lexi turns around and runs at him. Helms jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Lexi falls over again. She slowly pulls herself up and Helms grabs her and lifts her up and hits a back suplex into a double knee backbreaker. Lexi rolls over, kicking the mat, holding her back. Helms looks around. The crowd cheers for him. Helms looks around and he gets up as Kohl looks on. Helms then walks over to her and pulls her up. Lexi then suddenly nails him with a forearm and then another. He staggers back and Lexi then reaches out, going for the eyes, but Helms blocks it. Lexi keeps fighting and trying to get through before she tries for a knee, but Helms blocks that. Lexi looks at Helms, with anger before Helms hoists her up and hits a T-Bone suplex. Lexi von Aaron hits the mat. Helms then rolls over and to the apron. He looks around. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Lexi trying to keep fighting. Going for the eyes. Then the knee, but AJ Helms stops her!”

Knots: “Was that the last gasp?!”

Helms then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars as Helms looks around. He then steadies himself before diving off and hitting the GFAP! The crowd cheers. Helms turns and hooks her legs, folding her up.

The bell sounds and the crowd cheers.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, A.J. Helms!”

Helms rolls off and looks over at Lexi for a moment as she just unfolds herself before just laying out on the canvas, out. Helms gets up and shakes his head as the referee raises his arm. He watches her again before turning and going to the ropes. Phillips walks over and hands him the SCW World Tag Team Championship. He takes it and then drops down and rolls to the floor. The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “This was a fight.”

Knots: “That’s putting it mildly. AJ was in some ways fighting for his life. Lexi von Aaron came to take a part of him. Something of him in this one.”

REPLAY:

We see a shot of Helms nailing Lexi from behind, knocking her into the first official. The official goes down. This is followed by a shot of Helms checking on the official before Lexi von Aaron nails him from behind. We then see her nailing Helms in the back with the kendo stick. This is followed by a shot of Lexi von Aaron pointing at Helms with the kendo stick before AJ kicks her away.

Sharper: “Lexi wanted to clearly leave a mark. Going low, and aiming there, a number of times. Wanting AJ to be unable to gain joy if you will if she couldn’t be with him.”

Knots: “Yeah and Helms somehow got through that. Somehow didn’t just crumple.”

This is followed by a shot of Lexi von Aaron hitting the low blow before running into the ropes and kicking him from behind and causing him to drop down to the mat. We cut to show Helms hitting the Wake Up Call, knocking Lexi down. We then see Helms catching Lexi’s knee before T-Bone Suplexing her over. We then see the GFAP. The crowd cheers. This is followed by another shot of the GFAP. We then see Helms having his arm raised as the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

Sharper: “And the GFAP finishes it off. Helms definitively, he hopes, has put the final point on this. Lexi von Aaron tried to fight. Tried to scrap. Tried to take something, but Helms managed to stop her.”

Knots: “And I said that may have been a last gasp. The question is whether Lexi will move or not. If she doesn’t, or if she doesn’t find something to get her back on path…her career is in doubt.”

Sharper: “Not an issue for AJ Helms. A newsworthy weekend, but with a good moment for him. Hopefully the end of his time with Lexi von Aaron.”

We cut back to a live shot to see Lexi still down, and stirring. Helms stands on the rampway and holds up his SCW World Tag Team Championship belt. The crowd cheers him as we then cut away.

We open up at ringside, but at the first row where we see Lexy Chapel next to the barricade.

Lexy: “How about this?! Another version of the Chapel Show…well…sorta, but uh a celebratory edition this time! Tonight’s a big night for one man in particular. Simon Lyman has called it a career and tonight, some of his friends and family are here at ringside and let’s first start with Cailey Carter. You are here, married to him a couple of months ago.”

Cailey stands up as Lexy turns to her, putting the microphone in front of her.

Cailey: “It’s been a blessing to have him in my life and to be able to support him here as he writes an ending he deserves after everything else he’s been through. To come back from it all, to compete here…one more time….I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep it together, but tonight, his career ends, but a new journey will start right after.”

Lexy turns.

Lexy: “And with you, we have someone well known to SCW fans, Rachel Foxx, a new inductee to the Hall of Fame. Simon’s half-sister.”

Lexy Chapel turns as Rachel smiles and the crowd cheers seeing her.

Rachel: “Thank you.”

Lexy: “Here to also share this moment with your half-brother.”

Rachel: “Exactly. I had my moment last night. It was a special one, but I wouldn’t miss this for the world. We’ve gotten closer since our wars in that ring and to be able to be a part of the end of his career…in a positive way…”

Rachel laughs a bit.

Rachel: “It means the world.”

Lexy: “Thank you for your time-“

Lexy then stops and turns and walks across the barricade.

Lexy: “Wait a minute…Trinity Street…”

We see Trinity Street seated a few seats down and the crowd roars before booing.

Lexy: “We haven’t seen you at an SCW event in years and I think I just realized I should move back-“

Trinity: “It’s fine…our past is in the past. Tonight is about none of that. It’s about Simon. I asked Simon if he would allow me to be here. He and his family were happy to oblige. I am just happy that despite our difficulties, I can share in this night with someone who deserves every bit of happiness after everything he’s been through and even what I’ve put him through.”

Lexy: “Well uh…great to have you here and great to see all of this support for Simon Lyman. Later tonight, he faces Donovan Kayl in what will be his final match of his professional wrestling career! Gents?!”

Sharper: “Thank you Lexy!”

We then cut to the scene above the ring to see the scaffold starting to slowly lower down. Spotlights flash on it.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Scaffold Scramble Match where two briefcases will be hung above the X-scaffold above the ring. One case holds a singles championship opportunity, the other a Tag Team Championship opportunity, both to take place at Apocalypse!”

Sharper: “And whereas the match between Lyman and Kayl will be a bit more traditional, this will be anything but.”

Knots: “But it will be opportunity and you wonder who has added themselves to the match as we heard about some late additions around the backstage area.”

The scaffold continues to lower before being secured in place by ring crew members who climb up the rigging. We also see the two briefcases already above as they’ve been lowered with the scaffolding.

The arena goes dark, with just the sounds of the crowds and the flashes of the cameras. A heartbeat begins to sound throughout the arena...

THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP

The beating slowly morphs into the beeping of a hospital monitor, while the screen of the heart monitor follows the beeps on the jumbotron...

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

The beeps begin to speed up, faster and faster, before ultimately flatlining.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...

As the ominous sound of the flatlining heartbeat echo through the arena, it's quickly interrupted by another heartbeat, but an irregular one. This one, on the screen, shows a star right in the middle of it. That beat continues, and begins to speed up as well. As it reaches an inhuman speed, we then cut to hear "Darkest Of Kin" by Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster. A few moments pass before we see Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine walk out from the back. Tommy steps forward and does a come hither motion as Starr stands with his hand in the air.

Phillips: “First, on their way to the ring, they are the team of Jake Starr and Tommy Valentine!”

The crowd cheers as Starr looks around and Tommy does too. They then start to make their way to the ring as pyro shoots up behind them. The crowd roars some more. Tommy and Starr then head to the ring.

Sharper: “The men who made sure this idea would be revived. They wanted to give out some opportunity. In the process, they’ve annoyed the Sisterhood who feel they’ve leapfrogged over them in terms of status.”

Knots: “A great chance to for them to put them in their place then! Let’s do it!”

Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my saviour
In my time of need

The lights dim as we see pyro then shoot out of the stage and high into the air. Spotlights circle the arena as we see the Sisterhood, Angelica Jones and Kayla Jones walk out from the back. They pump their fists, trying to get the crowd even more pumped up as they look around. Their nameplates come up as they turn to each other before turning to the ring.

Phillips: “Next, they are the Sisterhood, Angelica and Kayla Jones!”

Kayla and Angelica focus on the ring as they head to the ring. We go to a wide shot of the stadium for a few moments before the music changes.

Sharper: “Here come the Sisterhood, ready to go.”

Knots: “Maybe the most well-oiled team.”

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown starts to play. The stage flashes blue and yellow. Blue and yellow pyro goes off as Tyler Tucker runs out from the back. He looks around as he nods. We then see Craig Thomas walk out from the back and Tyler drops down to a knee as Craig places his hand on his shoulder. They look around as the crowd roars.

Phillips: “They are Tyler Tucker and Craig Thomas, Adrenaline Rush!”

The crowd roars as Tucker hops up. He turns to Thomas. The two then turn and run down the rampway as the crowd roars. They make their way down and slide into the ring. They run over to the corners as we then cut back to the entrance way.

Sharper: “Tyler Tucker has had a hell of a 2017. They are hoping to earn a shot at the Tag Titles. One title that has eluded them for too long if you ask me. They have the skill and ability. Just have gotten some bad breaks.”

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to it’s foundations like never before…they found that man”

There is silence before various words show on the video screen.

DRAGONSLAYING

FOUNDATION LAYING

ALCOHOL SWILLING

LEGEND THRILLING

"Motherf**ker Of The Year" By Motley Crue hits in the arena as a microphone now appears on the video screen as Gable's voice can be heard echoing throughout the arena

"GABLE-ITES! THIS IS FOR YOU!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with cheers aimed toward the man that steps out onto the top of the ramp with "The Book Of Winchester" tucked securely under his arm. He looks around and takes a deep breath. He nods, listening to the crowd as blue pyro shoots up on both side of the stage. He then starts to slowly make his way to the ring. His nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “The next entrant, he is Gable Winchester!”

Gable then continues on his way to the ring. As he gets about halfway down the rampway, the music changes.

Sharper: “Winchester looks focused, but you wonder about everything he’s thinking about. We heard about that assault. We also heard the rumours about Autumn.”

Knots: “And he’s doing this to help fix that. He wants to get the Tag Title shot ,but Autumn may be one foot gone. Attitude already changed too!”

“Justice... Will Be Done”

We hear the opening of “Wanted Dead and Alive” by Bon Jovi as the crowd boos. A few moments pass before we see Merrick Wiseman walk out from the back. His coat waves in the air as he looks around and scans the building. He just scowls as he watches the entire stadium for a few moments. He notably sheds any of his usual theatrics and instead just starts to head to the ring as his nameplate comes up. He focuses on the crowd, watching them, scanning it as he continues.

Phillips: “Next, he is Merrick Wiseman!”

Wiseman continues to make his way to the ring. He gets halfway down the ramp when the music changes again.

Sharper: “Wiseman could be an interesting factor. A lot of issues with everyone in that match that we know of and if he’s fighting for him and Cain?”

Knots: “Maybe and he wants to just win. However he can.”

“Hands of the Wicked” begins to play. A spotlight shines down on the stage as we then see Sophie and Mark O’Brian walk out from the back. They look around as Sophie then starts to extend her arms in a crucifix pose. Mark O’Brian just snarls and looks around. They then both start to head to the ring. Sophie turns to Mark and says something to him. Mark response as they get a bit testy.

Phillips: “The next entrants, they are Sophie and Mark O’Brian!”

Sophie continues to head to the ring as Mark is a few strides behind. The crowd boos them as they make their way down the rampway.

Sharper: “An extra entrant. Sophie O’Brian and her brother Mark, who is making his in-ring debut. Why not with the opportunity available.”

Knots: “And just think, she didn’t get to burn anything last night. That could be bad for everyone in this match!”

We then see smoke start to come out of the stage and the crowd roars.

Beard: “A lot of wrestlers takin’ that shhhh….”

Juice: “Not enough doin’ that shhhh..”

“White Crime” by Lil Dicky starts to play as we see Beard and Juice walk out from the back. They step forward in slow-motion before looking around and Imogen Reed walks out from the back with them. She smacks Beard on the ass as Beard smiles as Juice just looks at them and shakes their head. He then starts to head down to the ring. Their nameplate comes up as Beard just looks at Juice and shrugs and Imogen wraps her arm around Beard. She grabs his ass as he grabs hers as they walk down.

Phillips: “And finally, accompanied by Imogen Reed, Beard and Juice, The F-Ups!”

Juice heads down to the ring, making the long walk down to the ring as Beard and Imogen remain all over each other as they head down. We cut to the ring to see all of the entrants looking at each other. Several SCW officials are in the ring, keeping them way. Juice hops onot the apron and looking around before entering the ring. Beard heads down and turns and kisses Imogen in a rather sloppy away before he hops onto the apron. Imogen smiles as Beard enters the ring.

Knots: “At least D let them enter!”

Sharper: “They entered today holding the World Tag Team Championships, but they were not the champions. SCW and Mr. D not recognizing it and the F-Ups, not that happy. Imogen Reed especially so.”

Knots: “AJ Helms probably isn’t either given what they did to one belt.”

Sharper: “I just hope they gave him the other one earlier.”

The bell sounds and Tommy Valentine, Jake Starr, Kayla Jones, Angelica Jones, Tyler Tucker, Craig Thomas, Gable Winchester and Merrick Wiseman all look up at the scaffold. Imogen Reed talks to Beard as he and Juice stand on the floor. Just then, we see Sophie O’Brian run over and nail Angelica Jones in the back of the head. Mark does the same to Kayla as the crowd roars. Tommy turns and grabs Mark and nails him with a forearm as Jake turns to Sophie who kicks him in the ribs. She forearms him in the jaw and then again. Tucker turns and climbs up to the top rope and Juice hops onto the apron to stop him as Craig Thomas turns and nails him. Tucker then turns looking at the scaffold rigging before turning and flipping off the top rope and onto Beard and Juice on the floor as Imogen even pushes Juice into Tucker as she dives out of the way. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Tyler Tucker off the top! Right onto Beard and Juice who were biding their time on the floor!”

Knots: “Juice went up to stop Tucker and Adrenaline Rush called an audible!”

Sharper: “But now Craig Thomas is going up the corner and remember, two prizes on that X-shaped scaffold. One is a singles championship contract. The other is a tag team contract.”

Tucker rolls over as Imogen looks on as Craig Thomas climbs up to the top rope. We then see Sophie O’Brian running over and clubbing him in the back and then again. She grabs him and just then, we see Angelica Jones walking over. They both grab Craig Thomas and hit a powerbomb off the top rope. The crowd ohs as Mark covers up as Tommy Valentine works him over. Merrick and Gable battle to the floor. We then see Angelica turn to Sophie and kick her in the ribs. She forearms her and whips her across the ring. She bounces off and Angelica lifts her up for a flapjack, and Kayla grabs her too and forces her down in a double-team move. The crowd roars. Angelica and Kayla get up and Jake snap jabs Kayla and then Angelica before nailing Kayla again and then Angelica. He steps back and goes for a double clothesline, but Kayla and Angelica duck and grab him and hit a double neckbreaker. Merrick then throws Gable into the barricade before dropping down and looking under the ring. He grabs a table from under the ring as the crowd roars. He lifts it up and Angelica points to him as Kayla turns and runs over and hits a flip dive over the top rope and onto Merrick, knocking him down and the table too. The crowd ohs. Imogen meanwhile on the other side of the ring, sees the table and starts to do the same, pulling out a couple of tables from under the ring.

Sharper: “Early moments of this match and bodies are flying everywhere!”

Knots: “And tables are out too. Wiseman already bringing out one table. Obviously he’s planning to throw some people off and keep them down.”

Sharper: “And look at Imogen Reed. Not worrying about her team, the F-Ups who invited themselves to this match. She’s getting tables too!”

Knots: “That could be for throwing people into or something that Beard could mount her on. I don’t know! Good thing we’re on pay per view or we’d be tossed off the air!”

Gable stirs as Tommy grabs Mark and whips him across and Angelica notices him and dropkicks him in the knees and he falls to the mat and rolls over. She gets up and Tommy walks over and kicks her in the ribs and chops her. The crowd cheers a bit and Tommy pushes her into the ropes and fires her across and she bounces off and Tommy lifts her up onto his shoulders and into a Samoan drop. Angelica rolls over. Tommy gets up and turns and goes over to the corner. He climbs up to the top and starts to stir to get up as Tucker enters the ring. He runs over and clubs him in the back and then again. He pulls him off and nails him with a hard right and a left before another kick. Tommy falls back to the ropes. Gable walks around and grabs Kayla before spinning her into the barricade. He then turns and grabs the table Wiseman pulled out and slides it into the ring. Imogen, by the entrance way has two tables next to each other as Tucker grabs Tommy and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Tucker hits a dropkick. Tommy hits the mat. Tucker gets up and Starr lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop. He then clotheslines him down. Gable turns as Beard and Juice start to get up on the floor. Beard looks for Imogen as Starr turns and stomps Craig Thomas for good measure before turning and climbing up to the corner. He starts to climb up to the top rope. Beard pats Juice on the chest and tells him to go for Starr. Beard then goes in the opposite direction. Juice turns and climbs onto the apron, wincing a bit. Beard walks around and goes over to Gable and nails him in the ribs as he grabs a second table for the floor.

Sharper: “Pandemonium, but Jake Starr could be looking to take this quick!”

Knots: “Come on Juice! Get up there!”

Sharper: “Beard going after Gable. Starr climbing. Imogen still moving furniture!”

Tucker and Thomas stir as Starr climb up the scaffold supports about halfway before Juice jumps up and grabs his foot. Starr looks back and kicks him in the face and then again. Juice drops to the apron and backs up. Starr starts to climb up again. Wiseman gets up and Beard kicks Gable in the ribs and hits a rather sloppy vertical suplex. He rolls over and then grabs the table Gable was pulling out. He then lifts up and Wiseman clubs him in the back. He then spins him around and lifts him up and drops him on the barricade. Beard falls back. Wiseman then turns and walks over and sees Starr and Juice. Juice climbs up as Starr gets to the top and Juice grabs his foot before climbing up a bit and managing to get Starr in the back and the back of the leg. Starr pulls himself up and rolls onto the scaffolding. Juice then keeps climbing as Wiseman climbs on another end of the structure. Mark O’Brian stomps Angelica for good measure as she’s in the ring before turning and climbing another leg as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Everyone’s going up!”

Knots: “Going up and looking to end this fast. Juice actually has Starr!”

Kayla decides to focus on the tables and unfolds the one Beard pulled out and sets it up. She then grabs a second and goes to stack it on top as Sophie, Tucker and Thomas stir. Tommy slowly gets up too. Mark O’Brian and Wiseman keep climbing as Starr gets to his knees on the scaffold. He takes a moment to check its shakiness, realizing it’s pretty solid before starting to get up and Juice then gets up and low blows him. The crowd ohs. Starr falls over. Juice then gets up and he staggers bit before looking down. He gulps before looking at Starr and stomping him in the back and then again. Starr rolls over and instinctively grabs the bottom of the scaffold. Juice then drops down to his knees and pushes him. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Juice is pushing Starr off the scaffold!”

Knots: “That’s part of it. Part of the ultimate risk and reward of this one!”

Starr turns and Juice pushes him over. Starr tries to hold on but Juice pushes his leg off and Starr hangs from the scaffold a moment as just then, he drops and Thomas and Tucker catch him and powerbomb him down. The crowd ohs as Starr is laid out in the middle of the ring. Thomas and Tucker then turn and start to move to the corners, different ones to both go up. We see Sophie grabbing something from her pocket as she starts to climb up too. Juice looks around as the crowd cheers and we see Wiseman running over and kicking him in the ribs. Juice falls over and Wiseman, without even hesitating, grabs him and just shoves him over and Juice falls off the scaffold before dropping down to the ring and just getting his legs under him before crashing. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “My God! Starr powerbombed and then Juice just launched!”

Knots: “Hit with a splat too!”

Sharper: “And Mark O’Brian and Merrick Wiseman are on the scaffold!”

Wiseman turns and Mark O’Brian gets up and runs over and nails him with a hard right as Tucker, Thomas and Sophie all climb up. Beard gets up as Kayla rolls into the ring and Angelica winces as she gets up with Kayla. They run over to Tommy and start to stomp away on him as he tries to get up. Gable grabs at Beard and nails him with a hard right and throws him into the ring apron before sliding in. Wiseman turns and Mark nails him again. Wiseman fires back. The crowd roars as the two trade blows on the scaffold. Thomas gets to the top and looks around, but it’s Tucker who looks up and shows no fear and runs across and jumps up and dropkicks Wiseman in the back. Wiseman falls forward into Mark O’Brian. Mark O’Brian falls to the scaffold and rolls off. He just drops to the mat, getting his feet under him before falling to the ground. The crowd roars. Thomas then heads over and Tucker starts to pull Wiseman up and Wiseman shoves him back. Tucker is stopped by Thomas who then turns and nails Wiseman with a hard right and then another. Gable meanwhile fights with Angelica and Kayla in the ring as he nails Angelica with a forearm before turning to Kayla. He turns and runs her into the corner before Angelica runs up from behind and nails him in the back. Thomas then grabs Wiseman and turns and looks at Tucker. Tucker nods and Thomas sends him into Tucker who hits a front dropkick. Wiseman falls back and then turns before dropping off the scaffold. He drops down and lands on the ropes, flying back. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Adrenaline Rush working together and Merrick Wiseman takes a tumble! From the scaffold to the ropes!”

Knots: “But he’s the law and order! He’s needed to make sure this is all on the up and up!”

Thomas then pulls Tucker up and the two look at the two briefcases. They both gravitate to the tag team one. They then go over and Thomas goes to grab it, but just then, Sophie O’Brian who had climbed up and stepped forward and does Scorched Earth. Thomas and Tucker dive back and Tucker slips and grabs the scaffold as he turns and Angelica and Kayla look up and notice him. They quickly jump up and grab him and pull him down and face first into the mat. Thomas rolls over, still on the scaffold.

We then see Gable turn and starting to do the same as does Tommy. Beard notices everyone going up and does the same. Imogen cheers her man on.

Sharper: “And you see the strategic issues. It’s safer to remain in the ring, but with Sophie up there, now Sisterhood going up, everyone is going up.”

Knots: “Well here’s the thing. It’s simple math. Throw everyone from the scaffold and win. You just need to know how to count that high and I’m not sure for most people in there. I know the F-Ups can only count to two and that’s because Imogen can help there.”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Sophie stomps Thomas again before turning and going over to the briefcase for the tag team shot. Kayla gets up and starts to move forward as Thomas stirs and grabs at Sophie.

Angelica and Kayla then grab Gable and throw him off the scaffold and the double-stacked tables at ringside. The crowd ohs and roars as Gable is in a heap at the bottom.

Knots: “The Sisterhood just made sure one big threat is gone!”

Sharper: “Gable Winchester fighting hard and looking to get the World Tag Title Shot, but too many others involved!”

Starr meanwhile grabs a steel chair. He then starts to get up and rolls into the ring as Wiseman stirs to the corner. Starr gets up and nails Mark in the back with the chair.

Knots: “And Kayla is stunned. But turn around and grab one!”

Sharper: “But look! Giovanni Aries is coming to the ring?!”

Knots: “The Wonderland, or the Lizard King, aren’t here!”

Starr keeps swinging at Wiseman and Wiseman looks over as Aries yells at him.

Aries: “Yo, Deputy! I require your help to take down the Lizard King.”

Wiseman then looks around as the crowd boos loudly.

Sharper: “Wiseman now the only one up there.”

Knots: “Well Aries came in and fed himself to Starr. Wiseman had an opening…I don’t….I don’t get it. I’d assume Aries would not want to help someone who refers to himself as the law?!”

We then see Wiseman look at the tag team case before scoffing a bit before turning and grabbing the singles case and unhooking it. The crowd boos as Wiseman lifts it up. He then turns and pulls it down. A referee motions to Phillips.

Aries can be seen rolling to the floor as Wiseman climbs down. He then spins down and into the ring before seeing Aries. He just smirks before rolling to the floor and asking for his briefcase. Back up top, Kayla tries to stomp Starr off, but Beard and Juice get up. Beard runs over and jumps up and nails Kayla in the head. Kayla falls back and rolls over.

Imogen then crawls over and grabs at the briefcase. The officials tell her to get away from it and Imogen turns and yells out at Beard. Beard looks around before then doing a sign of a cross and diving off. He jumps down and lands hard and rolls over. Imogen then grabs Beard and drags him over to the briefcase, throwing him on top of it.

Sharper: “What?!”

Phillips: “The F-Ups have obtain the Tag Team Opportunity!”

Sharper: “You’re kidding me! Kayla Jones kicks the briefcase off. First to grab it wins and Imogen Reed helps Beard roll on top of it to take it!”

Knots: “Even Juice is stunned, but this is why a good man always has a good woman behind him! To make sure they get Tag Title Shots!”

Sharper: “Kayla, Starr, Tommy, all stunned!”

The crowd boos a bit as “White Crime” plays throughout the arena.

REPLAY:

We see Starr pulling the briefcase off as he has it unclasped. We then see Kayla lunge and hit the superkick. Starr lets go of the briefcase, turning as Kayla kicks the briefcase off. It hits the scaffold and tumbles to the ring below.

Sharper: “Take a look at this. Did Starr have it when it came off the clasp?”

Knots: “I don’t think so! Kayla knocked it off with Starr having the clasp undone.”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen and we see Imogen slide into the ring. Beard then jumps off and crashes to the mat willingly. Imogen then grabs Beard and pulls him onto the briefcase and then sits on him for good measure.

Sharper: “And then Imogen Reed giving Beard all of the motivation. He’ll do anything for that woman.”

Knots: “This was also for the F-Ups. He willingly risked injury to get sex and to get their Tag Titles back!”

We cut back live as Starr and Tommy are now seated on the scaffold and in shock. Kayla starts to stir as people come out to help Gable, Angelica and Sophie. Imogen tries to help Beard up as Juice, very slowly, tries to climb down. We then see Merrick Wiseman walking to the back with his case, not worrying about anything behind him as we cut away.

We cut to the SCW interview area backstage to see Jessica Winters standing in front of the SCW logo.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, we’re going to see one of the biggest matches in terms of potential consequences to the future of SCW. One of the participants in that match joins me now…Selena Frost!”

The crowd roars and cheers as Selena Frost comes into view in her street clothes still.

Jessica: “Selena, tonight, if you win, you have a chance to become World Champion again. If you lose, as many have put it, including Vixen Cain, the blood of SCW is on your hands as Wiseman gets his Watchman program back and Vixen Cain gets his long awaited for rematch. For you personally, you have to deal with being the reason for that and will have your hair dyed red.”

Selena: “That’s just not going to happen. Vixen Cain is someone who talks big and I knew I had to agree to something ridiculous just to get his attention. Well, I have it. I have his match and tonight, the moment that bell rings, we finally can lock up and I can get my hands on him. After all of the attacks, the psychological warfare…threatening my son by taking control of my tour bus and so much more….Tonight, I will kick Vixen Cain’s ass. I will finally put him in his place and there will be no more Watchman Program. That’s gone. There won’t be any hope for a Cain title reign…and my hair, something of great personal significance to me, it won’t be changing colours. Instead, I will do something for SCW to make it clear that people like Cain won’t succeed. And I will go on to Breakdown to challenge either Ace Marshall…or I hope Kelcey Wallace for the World Title….Believe It!”

The crowd roars as Jessica turns to Selena.

Jessica: “I wish you the best of luck tonight. Back to ringside.”

Jessica turns to the camera as we cut back to the ring.

The horns of "I'm Worth It" by Fifth Harmony begin as the lights dim somewhat. The stage turns white. The crowd boos loudly as we then see Bree Lancaster walk out from the back, wearing a white silk robe. She looks around. Scott Burnside walks out with her and stands behind her as Bree Lancaster scans the crowd and has a smug look on her face.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, accompanied by Scott Burnside, from the Hamptons, she is Bree Lancaster!”

Her nameplate comes up as Bree Lancaster then starts to make her way down the rampway to the ring. Scott Burnside walks behind her as Bree Lancaster just ignores the booing crowd.

She enters the ring and circles the ring, showing herself off. Scott walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Bree Lancaster stands in the middle of the ring before extending her arms as Scott undoes the silver belt on the robe before sliding it off. Bree remains in a pose as the crowd boos some more. Scott lifts the robe up and folds it gingerly before placing it over his arm. He then turns and backs up as Bree poses in the middle of the ring. A spotlight shines down on her as Scott Burnside looks on proudly in the background. He exits the ring as Bree turns and goes to her corner as the music fades out.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster, a night removed from the BREE-Show and a lot of people seeing just how smug, how arrogant, how vain she has become.”

Knots: “Hey! She’s just taking what she felt she deserved! A night to herself! She could’ve been World Champion!”

Sharper: “In any case, she’s also hoping Tina Valentine wasn’t cleared and that’s been kept under wraps. No one has shared whether she’s been cleared. If she isn’t. Bree is hoping for the latter!”

Bree looks on as she smirks a bit. We then hear “One Step Closer” by Linkin Park blare throughout the arena. The crowd cheers as Bree’s smirk disappears into a glare. A few moemnts pass before Tina Valentine walks out from the back. She looks down at the ring. She watches Bree as she takes a moment to just look down at the ring. Her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Brooklyn, New York, she is Tina Valentine!”

The crowd cheers as Tina Valentine then starts to make her way down to the ring. She just continues to look at Bree before starting to pick up her pace. She takes another moment before running down to the ring. Bree steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor as Tina Valentine slides into the ring. She gets up and looks around before then turning and going over to Bree’s corner and climbing up to the middle rope. She looks down at Bree. She then turns to the crowd and looks around as they cheer her. She jumps back and steps back. Bree just looks at her as Tina backs up across the ring and goes over to her corner as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “I think she’s good to go!”

Knots: “Good to go and pissed off! Bree! Be careful!”

Sharper: “Tina Valentine has been known to have a bit of a mean streak, a temper in the past. Is it going to come out here? Bree Lancaster may have just unleashed something she may regret!”

Tina looks on from her corner. Bree tells the referee, Stephen Hollinsworth, to get her back. Tina just rolls her eyes and walks along the ropes. The referee tells her to get back.

Let us take a moment to look back at Fanfest this year here in Phoenix, Arizona, our event we hold to thank our fans and allow them to be part of the show. As without them none of this would be possible."

Knots: "Another Rise to Greatness, another sold out showing for us."

Footage is shown of several fans standing beside and over Katelyn as she is milling and holding up two peace signs in front of her. They look to be posing for several other fans with cell phones in front of them, some around her holding theirs up to take selfies.

Sharper: "Katelyn Buehler was here earlier, now in attendance with her daughters."

The scene switches over to one with Amy and Kennedy signing autographs. One fan appears way too overly excited to be standing next to Kennedy, as he holds his hands over himself inappropriately, a pack of women stand around wanting to chat with them and thank them.

Knots: "And of course Kennie was there! Those fans got their money's worth right there alone!"

The scene changes over to Kelcey and Selena standing in to take photos with members of the armed forces. Kelcey is wearing a camo hat, before it changes over to her signing a shirt for one fan. Selena

Sharper: "Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost showing their support for the military. No question these two are ready to bring it tonight."

It changes over to footage of Ravyn and Syren making chants with a group of fans. One woman runs over to Syren crying, overly happy to be meeting her before asking for a hug. Ace pops up behind them both to give them bunny ears while sticking his tongue out for an image.

Sharper: "Again, I personally just want to thank all of the fans here tonight with us in Phoenix, those who made it to fanfest Friday, Saturday and earlier tonight, and all of the fans around the world watching who, without all of you, none of this would be possible. Without all of you, we wouldn't be the number one promotion in the world."

We are then shown Konrad Raab standing in with Adrenaline Rush. Craig and Stacy are shown smiling cheerfully as some younger fans are shown perched up on their shoulders while another fan, presumably a parent takes a photo.

Knots: "It's all thanks to you guys. Let us now further thank you the only way we can, with more of the best matches you're ever going to see. Right here in the University of Phoenix Stadium."

“A Stranger I Remain” by Free Dominguez plays as the crowd starts to roar. Purple lights flash down onto the stage and entrance way. A few moments pass as smoke settles on the stage. We then see Alexis Quinne slowly rising from the smoke, dressed in a black and green suit. Horns are on her head and there is a darkened cape on her back, representing Hela from the Marvel Comics. She also still has El Rudo’s mask around her neck. She looks around the stadium as the crowd roars. A few moments pass before Quinne slowly extends her arms and looks up at the sky. Her nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a triple threat match with a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from San Francisco, California, she is Alexis Quinne!”

Quinne ends her pose and starts to make her way down to the ring, focused on her match. She walks down the rampway, the camera following her down. The crowd cheers her before start heads over to the steel steps. She then runs up them and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and looks around. Alexis throws off the cape and then turns to the crowd and yells to them. The crowd cheers. She then yells out and extends her arms. The crowd cheers before she jumps into the ring. She then takes her off the horns and starts to circle the ring, awaiting her opponents.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne dressed as a character from the Marvel comics. Showing her mindset tonight. It’s very personal to say the least.”

Knots: “Her creation was destroyed at PUNK HAZARD. And then her friend, her mentor, Christy Matthews didn’t do anything to fight for it. She moved on. That annoyed Alexis greatly.”

The lights dim as the big screens on the stage just go out. A few moments pass before 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 before we cut to the stage and we see Christy Matthews on the stage, with her arms outstretched in her crucifix pose. She looks around. The crowd boos some more as Alexis Quinne looks at her. Christy’s nameplate comes up on the screen.

Christy Matthews starts to make her way to the ring. The crowd boos her as she walks down the rampway. We cut to a wide shot to see the crowd as they look on. A few moments pass before we cut to see Christy Matthews end up at ringside and walk around the ring. She then pulls her hood down and hops onto the apron before climbing up to the middle rope and doing her crucifix pose again. She looks over at Alexis Quinne as Quinne watches her. Christy hops up and over the top rope and down to the mat. She looks forward before taking off her hood. She then backs up and drops down to a seated position, looking at Quinne as Quinne continues to pace on the opposite side of the ring.

Sharper: “Quinne pacing. Like a caged animal. But look at those looks between Christy Matthews and Alexis Quinne.”

Knots: “And Christy has one thing on her mind. Win tonight and move back into title contention. It’s almost business as usual. There is some personal here, but it’s all for what Dante and Quinne have done to derail her.”

“Out of the Black” by Royal Blue plays throughout the University of Phoenix Stadium as the crowd boos. Lights around the big screen flash with the drums. The bass hits and Dante McCaffery walks out from the back. The crowd boos more as he looks around, dressed in his long black fur trenchcoat, with another black jacket underneath. He scans the crowd, scowling at them as he then turns to the ring. He sees Alexis and Christy, both of whom have turned their attention to Dante. He then smirks a bit before starting to slowly make his way to the ring as the nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “And the final competitor in this match, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he is Dante McCaffery!”

Dante continues to make his way down the rampway as the boos continue to come from the crowd. He ignores them before then walking past the cameraman as he continues on his way down the rampway. He reaches the bottom of the ramp before starting to reach the ring and just then, Christy pulls herself up to her feet. Alexis also sees this and the two of them watch one another before Dante gets to the ring and Alexis and Christy both run at the ropes and both dive through the ropes, nailing Dante, almost simultaneously with a double tope, Christy first and Quinne hitting him as he turns. The crowd ohs as all three crash down into a heap at the end of the entrance way! The referee calls for the bell starting the match.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews and Alexis Quinne diving through the ropes and just colliding, hitting Dante one right after the other.”

Knots: “Both wanted to get the first shot in. Quinne and Matthews both had the same idea, and neither wanted the other to get it alone!”

Quinne rolls over and Christy rolls through. She gets up first and Quinne turns around and gets up and Christy just blasts her with a hard right hand. Quinne falls to the ground. Christy then grabs Dante as he stirs and pulls him up before turning and rolling him into the ring. Christy rolls in after. Dante starts to get up and Christy jumps up onto his shoulders and immediately turns and drops him face first into the mat with the Far Far Away. The crowd ohs and Dante rolls over to his back. Christy turns and goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Christy immediately trying to win this! It’s one fall to a finish!”

Knots: “The experience showing in this one!”

Quinne enters and nails Christy in the back of the head. Christy rolls over. She starts to get up. Quinne turns and nails her with a hard right and then another and another. Christy hits the mat. Dante starts to get up and Quinne turns around and dives onto Dante and nails him with a series of hard right hands to the side of the head as the crowd cheers. Dante covers up as Quinne nails him over and over and over again. She gets up and turns around and Christy nails her with a discus clothesline. Quinne hits the mat. Christy drops down and hooks the leg.

Quinne kicks out. Christy gets up as Quinne rolls over. Christy then grabs Quinne and pulls her up before turning and throwing her into the corner. Christy turns around as Dante starts to get up in the corner. Christy walks over and kicks him in the ribs before hitting a shoot kick in the ribs and then another.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews right now in control in this one. Quinne down in the corner. She’s going after Dante.”

Knots: “And she’s going for the win. Against anyone. Quinne wants revenge. Dante, I don’t know what. Christy wants the win!”

Christy then grabs Dante and Dante covers up as Quinne runs over and grabs Christy by the hair and pulls her back. Christy rolls through. She gets up and turns and Quinne runs and jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking Christy down. The crowd cheers. Quinne gets up as Christy does too and Quinne hits another dropkick, knocking her into the corner. Quinne gets up and turns around and Dante runs out of the corner and clotheslines her down hard. The crowd ohs and boos and Dante then turns and nails Christy with a hard right hand. She gets knocked off her feet and falls hard to the mat. Dante turns around and Quinne starts to get up and Dante scoops her up and turns and hits a ribbreaker. Quinne winces and Dante turns and throws her down to the mat. Christy slowly pulls herself up and Dante pulls her up and then nails her with a back elbow.

Sharper: “Quinne down and Dante taking a few shots at Christy while she’s in the corner.”

Knots: “Not just shots, but trying to break her jaw with these right hands and elbows.”

Dante then nails her again with a hard elbow and then throws her down. Quinne starts to get up and Dante walks over and kicks her in the ribs. He then turns and spins her around and throws her through the ropes and to the floor. The crowd boos. Christy slowly pulls herself up and Dante walks over to her and grabs her and whips her across the ring. Christy hits the opposite corner and Dante runs after and nails her with a running clothesline. The crowd boos and Dante steps back and scoops her up and onto his shoulder and turns and plants her with a powerslam. He turns and hooks the leg.

Christy gets her shoulder up. Dante slowly gets up and shakes his head before stomping Christy in the face. He stomps her again and Quinne pulls herself up to the apron and then to the top rope.

Sharper: “Dante continuing this assault on Christy Matthews.”

Knots: “Quinne! She’s up on the top! Dante! Look out! Turn around!”

Dante stomps Christy again and turns around and Quinne dives off the top rope and hits a missile dropkick right to the face of Dante. Dante hits back hard. The crowd erupts in cheers. Dante turns and Quinne dives onto him and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another and another. She then rolls off and Dante rolls to the ropes. Quinne grabs him and puts his throat on the middle rope and starts to pull up on the rope as the crowd cheers. Dante struggles. The referee counts.

Quinne, however, doesn’t stop. The referee tries to convince her to stop, but Quinne keeps pulling back for a few moments longer before then letting go and backing up. She walks back to the middle of the ring and turns and runs over and hits a running dropkick to the back of Dante’s head, knocking him through the ropes and to the floor. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Dante tumbles to the floor. Quinne all over him!”

Knots: “Christy still down. I don’t know if that’s because of Dante or because she’s going to let Alexis get this all out!”

Quinne steps through the ropes as Dante slowly stirs on the floor. He gets up and Quinne then dives off and grabs him by the head and spins through, dropping him with a tornado DDT on the mats. The crowd cheers. Christy then pulls herself up and just as she goes to step up, we then see Jack Parker running down from the back. Christy stops and backs up as we see Jack Parker running down and Quinne slowly gets up and Parker runs right over to her and drills her with a hard clothesline. The crowd boos. Christy then steps forward as we cut to show Ms. Budde rolling into the ring behind Christy, having come from the crowd. Christy sees this on the big screen but turns around only for Budde to blast her with a hard right hand. The crowd boos loudly and we then see Budde spin around, brass knuckles in her right hand. Chirsty stirs and rolls over and starts to get up and Budde nails her again. We then see Parker throw Quinne hard into the steel steps, causing her to bounce off them and just fall back to the mats. Parker then grabs at Dante and starts to help him up as the official tells Budde to leave the ring.

Sharper: “Come on. Ms. Budde, Jack Parker, Dante’s associates! They’re coming down as Dante starts to lose control of the situation.”

Knots: “And gave him control back and all legal! No disqualifications in a triple threat!”

Sharper: “Christy Matthews is out in the ring after two shots with the brass knuckles from Budde. Jack Parker is helping Dante McCaffery up too!”

Budde keeps watching Christy as Parker gets him up. We then see a number of officials running down from the back. Budde then is forced back and just rolls out of the ring. Dante turns to her as Budde takes the brass knuckles off and hands to Dante. Dante takes them and smiles as the official from the match drops down and the officials coming from the back start to get Parker and Budde away. Dante just tells them to go too as Budde and Parker then stop any resistance and head to the back. The crowd boos loudly as Dante then walks over to Quinne as she stirs and Dante places the brass knuckles in his pocket before grabbing Quinne. He pulls her up and then scoops her up and drops her hard with a sidewalk slam on the floor. The crowd boos. Quinne grimaces in pain as Dante slowly gets up.

Sharper: “And now with Dante’s associates gone. Focusing on Quinne who wanted Dante one on one!”

Knots: “He’ll give it to her at World Hazard Festival in a couple of weeks. She may regret it!”

Dante then grabs Quinne and lifts her up and turns and runs her over and throws her face first into the ringpost. Quinne spins out and falls to the mats. The crowd ohs and Dante then grabs the ropes and pulls herself onto the apron and into the ring. Christy starts to stir and Dante then walks over and scoops her up and slams her down. Christy winces and slowly rolls over. She starts to get up and Dante grabs her and pulls her up. He then nails her with a hard right. Christy hits the mat. She rolls over and Dante grabs her and pulls her up and places her head between his legs. Dante then hoists her up and goes for a powerbomb, but Christy then digs her thumbs into Dante’s eyes. The crowd roars. Christy slides down and hits a spin kick to the head of Dante. Dante staggers back. The crowd roars. Christy then runs into the ropes. She bounces off. Dante attempts a clothesline. Christy ducks and bounces off the other side and she jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Christy fighting back. Spinning heel kick drops Dante!”

Knots: “He couldn’t even see it coming! Christy drove her thumbs into his eyes moments ago!”

Christy gets up and Dante gets up too. Christy kicks him in the ribs and hooks him up for the Happily Never After, but Dante lifts her up and throws her back into the corner. Dante runs after and Christy gets her boots up. Dante staggers back and Christy turns and climbs up to the top rope. She then backflips back with a moonsault onto Dante, taking him down.

Dante kicks out and Christy rolls over. She gets up as Quinne slowly rolls into the ring. Christy sees her and turns and stomps Dante in the back of the head. She then turns and goes over to Quinne and Quinne suddenly jumps up and hits a jawbreaker. Christy staggers back and Quinne jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a springboard dropkick. Christy hits the mat and Quinne rolls through. Dante starts to get up and Quinne looks at him and then lets out a yell before running at him and kicking him right in the top of the head. Dante pops up and falls back. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Oh my God! What a kick!”

Knots: “Jesus! Dante may be out!”

Sharper: “Quinne got all of it! Right to the top of the head.”

Quinne then dives onto Dante.

Dante gets his shoulder up. The crowd ohs. Quinne rolls over and looks around. He then sees Dante starting to roll over and Christy starts to get up and Quinne turns and jumps off of Dante’s back and hits a double stomp to the back of Christy. Christy rolls over, holding her back in pain. Quinne then takes a moment and looks around before diving onto Dante. Dante slowly rolls over and he starts to push Alexis away. Alexis struggles with him and Dante nails her with a hard right and then another. Alexis pulls her hands away from his pockets as Dante slowly rolls over. Alexis gets up and Dante gets up in the corner. He turns around and nails Alexis with a clothesline. The crowd boos. Alexis starts to get up and Dante grabs her and shakes his head and smirks before scooping her up onto his shoulder. Quinne is a bit low and reaches into his pocket. Dante turns around and runs her over and drives her back first into the corner. He then places her up and pushes her up onto the top turnbuckle. Dante then leans her forward and starts to climb up. The crowd roars Dante hooks her up and Christy gets up and runs over and nails him in the back. She nails him again and then pulls Dante down to the mat. Dante rolls over and gets up and Christy jumps up and hits the double knee backbreaker. The crowd ohs and Dante rolls over, arching his back. Quinne slowly gets up and Christy turns and gets up and Quinne dives back and hits a corkscrew moonsault, knocking Christy down. She rolls through and away from Christy as Christy is down on the mat. Quinne then falls to the mat as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Dante was going to take Quinne out, but Christy saved her before dropping Dante and then Quinne with the corkscrew from the top!”

Knots: “But she’s gotten a lot taken out from her!”

Sharper: “But wait…look at her hand! She got the brass knuckles!”

Knots: “What?!”

Sharper: “The brass knuckles that Budde brought down. Dante pocketed them. Quinne must have noticed them earlier!”

Christy stirs and Quinne gets up, balling her fist around the brass knuckles. Christy turns and Quinne blasts her and nails her with the brass knuckles, knocking her back down. Dante starts to get up. Alexis turns to him as the crowd cheers. She then looks at her fist before then turning and nailing him right in the jaw. Dante falls back and to the mat. Quinne drops down and covers him.

Sharper: “A shot to Christy! A shot to Dante! Revenge for them turning their backs on her!”

The crowd cheers as Quinne rolls off. She rolls over and to a seated positon. She looks at the brass knuckles and then turns and tosses them onto Dante. She then gets up and the referee raises her arm. She just looks around as the crowd cheers.

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

Sharper: “Against both Dante McCaffery and Christy Matthews, Alexis Quinne stands tall here at Rise to Greatness!”

Knots: “PUNK HAZARD may be no longer, but Quinne getting a last laugh here.”

Sharper: “And at World Hazard, Christy Matthews won’t be involved and anything she didn’t get to do to Dante tonight, she’ll get one more shot at him. One more final blow for revenge in one on one action, but tonight, at Rise to Greatness, she’s standing victorious!”

Quinne looks around as scans the ring around her. She then looks at Christy again as Christy stirs a bit. Quinne then rolls out of the ring. She starts to walk around the ring and starts to head to the back. The camera follows her as the crowd cheers her and we cut away.

We cut backstage back to the SCW interview area to see Jessica Winters again standing at the area.

Jessica: “Jessica Winters here again and earlier, I talked about the Selena Frost/Vixen Cain contest and the significant consequences for the future of SCW. Selena Frost made her final comments earlier. Now, please welcome, Vixen Cain.”

The crowd boos as Vixen Cain walks into view and puts his arm around Jessica. Jessica just pushes away bit.

Cain: “Oh don’t worry. I’m just letting you know that sometimes the wolf in sheep’s clothing is really the better of two evils. That’s all this is about.”

Jessica: “It seems that you’re about forcing an agenda and bringing Selena Frost down in the process.”

Cain: “That’s one way to spin it. I would like to instead see it as bringing back something that really is needed in SCW…Integrity. The Watchman Program made people understand the limits to their actions. Some people who need that reminder and well, I am just making sure I get the rematch for the World Title I richly deserve. But as we stand here, it’s easy to talk about believing when all people have done is believe the lies of D and the tripe that Selena Frost spews. But that’s fine…after tonight, Selena’s dream fight with Kelcey…nothing more than a dream. Her title hopes, dashed. Her hair…ruined….and SCW….corrected. With me going on to win the World Championship and Merrick Wiseman being the law and order this promotion needs. That, dearie, that seems like a fairy-tale ending to me!”

Cain smiles as the crowd boos.

Jessica: “You talk about Merrick, but his actions earlier…they seemed more selfish. He could’ve gotten a tag team championship shot for you and him.”

Cain just smiles.

Cain: “He had his reasons. Plus, being the law and order of SCW is all about fairness.”

Jessica shakes her head.

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

Cain: “Not going to wish me luck?”

Cain chuckles. Jessica Winters glares at Cain as we cut back to ringside.

“Go To War” by Nothing More plays as we see the Rise to Greatness logo come upon the screen before showing William Hush and then showing Amy Chastaine and then showing both with the SCW Adrenaline Championship.

Sharper: “Well it’s time for the second title match of the night. Adrenaline Championship on the line. A long history between these two. One more time, William Hush and Amy Chastaine will do battle.”

Knots: “Hush just wants redemption. Chastaine…well, she’s not going to trust him, but one night only, they meet again.”

The lights suddenly go dim as the PA system starts to play slow building horse gallops. The arena lights slowly go up to a yellow hue before the thundering chorus of “Knights of Cydonia” by Muse suddenly bursts into the arena and Hush pushes back the curtain to a very mixed reaction indeed.

“No-one’s gonna take me alive!
The time has come to make things right”
You and I will fight for our rights
You and I will fight to survive”

Hush surveys the scene, thousands of fans packing out the sold out venue as yellow and blue pyro explodes behind him. His nameplate comes up

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is for the SCW Adrenaline Championship and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, the challenger, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is William Hush!”

He gestures to the crowd to be even louder, regardless of their opinion and they oblige in kind, the 50:50 mix of booing and cheering going up by more decibels.. Hush turns to the ramp and starts striding down. He just looks at the crowd before making the long walk down the rampway. He reaches the ring and rolls into the ring. He then goes to each turnbuckle and climbs up to the middle one before raising a fist as the crowd continues to look on. After completing his tour, he hops down and looks around the stadium as his music fades out.

Sharper: “William Hush ready to compete. He came in wanting redemption. He wanted to prove to Amy Chastaine he had changed. He’s got a match now. And the Adrenaline Championship is on the line as a surprise to him.”

Knots: “Amy Chastaine wanted it defended. I don’t know how smart that is, but that’s the kind of champion she is!”

A few moments pass before “Relentless” by New Year’s Day starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd roars as Hush smiles. Blue and white lights flash all over the stage. We then see Amy Chastaine walk out from the back, holding her SCW Adrenaline Championship. She looks around the arena as she then throws her hair back and just sternly looks down at Hush. Her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is the reigning and defending SCW Adrenaline Champion, Amy Chastaine!”

She makes her way down the rampway. She keeps her eyes on William Hush as she makes the walk down the rampway with purpose. The cameras follow her down as the crowd continues to cheer for her. We see Hush watching her as she reaches the ring. She then hops onto the apron. She looks at Hush before Hush exits the ring. Amy enters into the ring and then goes to the middle of the ring, posing. She then looks around before sliding her Adrenaline Championship down to her hand. She goes over to the corner nearest Hush and steps up and holds the title over her head. She then looks around before dropping down. She walks across the ring and does the same. Hush slowly pulls himself back onto the apron as Amy drops down.

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine had her eyes on William Hush the entire time.”

Knots: “Only on that last corner did she take them off. She doesn’t trust him at all.”

The music fades out and the lights return to normal as she hops down, the smile fading as she focuses on Hush, who slowly climbs into the ring to face Amy who, without looking at the referee, just hands him the Adrenaline Championship. The SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. She keeps her eyes fixated on Hush. It’s clear she still doesn’t really trust him. Hush takes one step forward, and Amy takes one back to maintain the distance. Hush doesn’t get an opening. The bell rings, but it doesn’t really change anything between them. Hush stops progressing towards Amy and extends a hand for a handshake. She looks down at it, smirks and shakes her head, but he doesn’t retract the hand. He just looks at her, silently as Amy doesn’t take the bait. If she’s not convinced this is some kind of trap she doesn’t want to fall into it. Hush senses the frosty atmosphere and shrugs his shoulders. He turns his back to her for a couple of seconds, inviting her to take a cheap shot, but Amy resists.

Knots: “What is he doing?”

Sharper: “Letting her take a cheap shot. She’s not going to do that. She’s not like that at all.”

Hush turns back to her and says “I allowed you a chance to hit me with my back turned. You didn’t do it. Shake my hand and lets have a great match”. Amy continues to just stare at him, her mind thinking of hundreds of different reasons why Hush could be insincere at this moment, but coupled with everything he’s done since they last saw each other on opposite sides of the ring the only option that makes any sense whatsoever is the one where he’s telling the truth. Maybe he does just want to right his wrongs. She continues to stare at him for a little while longer and Hush doesn’t retract the hand. Eventually, she looks at the crowd, some of whom are desperate to see the handshake and many others are shouting how it’s a trap. Amy finally grabs Hush by the wrist and shakes his hand for about a second before pulling him towards her with force and whispering in his ear too quietly for the microphones in the arena to pick up “If you’re bullshitting me, it’s the last thing you’ll ever do”. She releases the hand and steps back, bouncing on the spot like a boxer while Hush smiles and circles the mat.

Sharper: “And after a lot of hesitation, a handshake and here we go.”

Knots: “Well with the history these two have, going back several years, several promotions, a lot of personal attacks and professional attacks too…do you blame her?”

Sharper: “Not at all.”

Hush’s circles gradually narrow, looking for a point close enough where he can strike, but Amy senses that point first as she lunges at him and smashes him with a right hand to the side of the head. Hush spins on the spot and charges Amy, taking her down with a football tackle, before rolling off her waiting for her to get back up. Hush goes for the right hand, landing one, then another to the temple before Amy blocks the third by grabbing the hand and spinning it around behind his back. Now with Hush in a hammerlock, she uses her free hand to grab him by the forehead and slowly drop to one knee, bringing Hush with her, and digging her knee into the small of his back just below where she’s trapped his hand. She pulls back on his head, digging her knee in harder before Hush uses his greater upper body strength to wrestle free, springing to her feet and kicking Amy in the side of the head before she can get back up to two feet. With Amy down on the canvas for a brief second, Hush reaches behind to feel the small of the back before shaking himself down and waiting for Amy to get back up again.

Sharper: “Hush wins the first back and forth here.”

Amy returns to her feet and seethes at Hush. Hush smirks and shrugs his shoulders but all that does is incense Amy even more as she charges towards and him takes him down with a spinning heel kick that even he couldn’t see coming! Hush stumbles between the ropes and lands on the apron. Amy climbs through and lands an elbow drop on him sending both of them to the floor. Amy, now on the outside, positions herself so one knee is on the ground, and one knee is on Hush and she grabs him by the head, pulls it closer to her and with her other hand starts beating into him, releasing years and years of frustration on her long time rival. Hush just takes it as the referee starts the ten count.

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine is all over Hush here. She knows how dangerous he can be.”

Knots: “Hush has to know that. This is what happens when you know someone so well. But Amy is teeing off. We’ve not seen this side of her in a while.”

Sharper: “How much of this is also her general frustration with everything going in the last couple of months in SCW.”

Hush, who has been trying to swat Amy off him since she started this savage beatdown finally connects with a blow to the wrist that’s holding him by the hair and she releases the hold but not without taking some of that hair with her, pulled clean from the root. Hush tries to fight through that sudden shock pain and stumbles to his feet, but Amy is up already. Hush thinks quickly to grab her by the wrist and throw her into the crowd barrier, but she’s up again, running on pure adrenaline, attempting to shoulder drive him back-first into the apron, but Hush scoops her up instead and slams her on the floor. Suddenly noticing the referee’s count has gone to seven, he grabs Amy under both shoulders and heaves her up to the apron where she rolls herself back into the ring. Hush rolls in after her, but Amy is already up to two feet, bouncing off the ropes and baseball slides Hush back to the floor again. The referee had broken his ten count and is annoyed at having to start it again.

Sharper: “Hush tried to get back in. Amy however was ready and we’re back to the floor.”

Knots: “I didn’t think this was going to be a brawl, but why not?!”

Amy rolls out of the ring, but Hush stumbles back up, he knows he’s technically fighting for survival so he doesn’t want to give Amy any further openings. He gets to his feet just as Amy finishes climbing the ropes and he grabs her feet while she’s still on the apron and sweeps them away from her. She grabs the top rope as she falls so she doesn’t crash ass-first to the apron with any real force, but Hush uses the brief distraction to grab her by the waist from behind and belly to back suplex her onto the floor! Her head just misses the ring steps by inches and she’s lucky to land on the padding. Hush sits, cross-legged as soon as he releases the grip around her waist as Amy rolls away. Both wrestlers need a moment to recover because this has been an expectedly frenetic start to the match

Sharper: “Oh my god! How close that was it to maybe being all of it. Amy nearly went into the steel steps as a result of that suplex.”

Knots: “Head first too.”

Sharper: “And here in SCW, knockouts can end a match, akin to referee stoppage!”

Hush is first to his feet, showing early signs of wear and tear. This is still his first match in eleven months and there’s no doubt he’s feeling rusty. Amy, still clutching the back of her head follows suit and both roll back into the ring as the referee’s ten count reaches six. Hush, having not had his head slammed against the floor, is first to regain his bearings and grabs Amy by the head and hauls her up to her feet. He takes her by the wrist and flings her across the ring for an Irish Whip, only to knock her down with a shoulder tackle upon her return. Defiantly though, she gets back up to her feet, but Hush only grabs her again and belly to belly suplexes her back to the canvas.

Sharper: “Onto the apron. Amy Chastaine’s body cracking against the edge.”

Knots: “And they’ve still not fully embraced the fact that there is a ring for them to fight in. They’re all over the place.”

Sharper: “No pinfalls yet. Just a fight as we’ve mentioned!”

Hush maintains his offence as, with Amy on the ground, he grabs her arm, wrapping his legs around her torso and starts pulling back with a modified armbar. Amy starts yelling in pain. She’s determined not to submit to him though and she just fights it out. Amy manages to use her free arm to punch as Hush’s midsection until he’s forced to break the hold. Hush gets right back up and Amy is now clearly much slower so, with Amy up to just one knee and Hush back on two feet, he kicks her in the shoulder he just hyperextended with the armbar. Hush has slowed the pace down, but only because he knows this is likely to be a long ride and he needs to conserve some energy. Amy remains on one knee so Hush kicks her in the shoulder again and she falls back to the mat. Hush quickly drops on his knees sandwiching Amy’s shoulder between the knees and the canvas and that one really hurt the Adrenaline Champion who immediately rolls onto her other side.

Sharper: “Hush driving his knees into Amy and Amy smartly rolling to her side. Forcing Hush to expend energy if he wants to go for the pin.”

Knots: “I’ll give Hush this. If he wanted to, just bend some rules here. He’d be dominating, but he’s been fighting this legit.”

Hush drags Amy back up to her feet and guides her to the turnbuckle where he kicks her in the gut, forcing her to take a seated position. He grabs her right arm, the one attached to her hurt shoulder, and steps outside the ropes. He drops to the floor and pulls her arm around behind the turnbuckle, a move which draws a referee’s five count as Amy yells in pain! Hush drops the arm on four without complaint and re-enters the ring. He picks Amy back into the standing position again, turns her around to face the turnbuckle, hoists her up into an electric chair position and falls sideways in an innovative move, sending all of Amys body weight onto her damaged right shoulder! The move also leads to Amys legs crushing Hush’s head on impact and it gives him a sudden shock he wasn’t expecting and despite this being a great time to attempt a pinfall Hush has hurt himself badly.

Sharper: “Oh! All the impact on Amy’s shoulder. He’s targeting it over and over.”

Knots: “I think he hurt himself too.”

Sharper: “I think you may be right. Also, note that they’re taking their breaks. The heat here being a factor in this one.”

Hush takes a breather with Amy prone on the canvas. He crawls across to her but before he can attempt a pin, Amy surprises him, rolling him up, wrapping her legs around his head and squeezing her thighs together, The pressure on Hush’s skull is incredible and Amy had to do this in order to keep him away for a bit and to help her upper body and shoulder rest for a minute. He’ll never tap out to this but she’s buying herself some time. Hush, using his upper body strength tries to turn himself over and flip Amy onto her front, but Amy remains steadfast. Realising this is a futile move, Hush instead thrusts his head forwards, sliding his head a little further forward so Amy’s legs are now wrapped around his neck turning this into a choke which starts an immediate five count from the referee which Amy has no choice but to break!

Sharper: “Smart move by Hush. Amy had the headscissors and he made it seem more like a standard choke.”

Knots: “Good on the referee noticing that.”

Sharper: “They’re on point tonight, no matter your comments last night, Jon.”

Knots: “I still stand by that!”

Hush and Amy both stumble up to their feet and glare at each other from opposite sides of the ring. They’re back at square one except Amy’s got a minor shoulder injury and Hush has a sudden migraine. Nothing they haven’t worked through before. The approach each other in the ring, and Hush goes for the hard right hand. Amy ducks the blow, switches behind him and kicks him in the back of the knee. Hush drops to his knees and before he can get up, Amy switches back to Hush’s front side and smashes him with a pinpoint accurate Lightning Strike right to the forehead! Hush drops like a sack of potatoes and finally we get our first pinfall attempt of the match!

1..

2..

Hush gets the shoulder up.

Sharper: “First pinfall attempt. First kickout. And Amy Chastaine dimming Hush’s lights, but not turning them out completely!”

Amy smirks at Hush who takes in a big gulp of air, gradually shaking off the cobwebs. Hush is allowed to get back to a vertical base where Amy suddenly goes back on the offensive again, hammering him with forearms with her good arm and forcing him into the ropes. She grabs him by the wrist and whips him across the ring. Hush bounces back and returns right into a running swinging neckbreaker which hits with devastating impact! Amy is firmly on top now, quite literally as she hooks the leg for a second pinfall attempt!

Hush throws the arms up with strength and this match continues, the pace quickening following the Hush-led lull.

Knots: “Amy now trying to win. It’s a novel concept!”

Sharper: “Another nearfall and all of that energy expended earlier showing its effects here.”

Amy scoops Hush off his feet and guides him to the turnbuckle. She bashes his head off the top just once before spinning him around and delivering some quick kicks to the midsection. One, two, three, four, five of them, all in quick succession, forcing Hush to slump in a seated position against the corner. Amy is on fire now as she takes a few steps back and sizes up a running knee. She charges towards Hush, aiming the knee at his face, only to find him rolling away at the last nanosecond and sending her knee into the ring post! Hush has only rolled as far as the apron, but Amy spins around, bending down to tend to the shock pain to her knee. It’s not injured by boy did that smart! Hush, running mostly on adrenaline rather than actual wherewithal quickly climbs up to the top rope and dives into Amy's side as she’s bent over, smashing into her hurt shoulder and sending them both crashing to the mat in an ugly fashion!

Sharper: “Hush driving Amy down again focusing on the shoulder. Almost like he’s got a heat-seeking missile onto it.”

Knots: “And right into a pin. His first!”

Hush scrambles to climb on top of Amy and hooks the leg.

1..

Amy kicks out. No way is she letting him get the better of her. She is starting to realise that this match is playing out exactly as he promised though. He’s taking advantage of weakness and time, for sure, but there’s no funny business going on. No interference as promised. No cheating. No reason for the fans, who are fixated by an entertaining contest, to boo him. But it’s too early to rule out any mind games yet. She’s too smart for that. Hush is first to his feet and grabs the recovering Chastaine by the head. As soon as he’s got her back up to her feet, he kicks her in the gut, lands the European Uppercut and goes to deliver the superkick which would finish his Hush Money combo, except Amy catches the leg! She spins him around and grabs him by the head from behind, looking for an X-Factor but Hush wriggles an arm up between him and her, grabbing the back of her head and delivers a stunner-esque defensive move! Amy scrambles back to her feet, determined not be to take any time to rest, determined not to give him any more openings no matter how tired she is and how much this hurts, but Hush is up first and he finally delivers the Superkick, delayed as it was from his combo, but at least he’s finished Hush Money.

Sharper: “Slowed down, but I believe he calls that Hush Money and Amy Chastaine could be unconscious.”

Knots: “The referee should check her, but everyone is just drained. It’s got to be hot in there.”

Amy appears to be out cold on the mat. Hush should go for the pinfall right now to end this, and that’s exactly what he does. He slumps on top of her, sweating and tired and hooks her leg.

1..

2..

Amy kicks out, raising the arm in pure defiance and Hush can’t believe it! He looks at the referee in disbelief who just shrugs his shoulders. Hush feels the rage boiling inside him and his face changes. He develops a snarl. He’s frowning so hard his eyebrows almost touch. He rolls out of the ring, seeing red, and looks underneath the apron. The referee pleads with him not to get himself disqualified, but Hush doesn’t hear him. He grabs a folded steel chair from under the ring and rolls back inside with it. Amy hasn’t moved since kicking out as Hush stands in front of her prone body, looking down with evil intent. The referee continues to warn him of the consequences of going ahead with this move but hush doesn’t hear him

Sharper: “Hush has a chair…He’s lost it.”

Knots: “He’s proving Amy Chastaine one hundred percent right too! He can’t be trusted!”

Hush starts to raise the chair above his head and Amy opens her eyes to suddenly see what’s coming. Hush’s gaze catches hers and he suddenly realises what’s happening. He steps back, shaking his head. He gives the chair to the referee and apologises to him. Some of the more bloodthirsty members of the crowd actually start booing. Amy doesn’t know what to think, especially when Hush looks down at her and apologises profusely. Hush backs away and rests against the ropes. Amy drags herself up to her feet and approaches him but all he can do is trying pleading with her that that’s not who he is anymore. Amy shouts “Fight me” at him and Hush seems reluctant. “For the love of the Gods, William, Fight me!” Amy slaps him around the face and Hush barely reacts. The crowd ohs. Amy gets angry and just snorts “Fine. I’ll fight you instead” and grabs him by the wrist, but Hush shrugs her off. He looks right into her eyes, wipes his brow and says “Sorry. I’m ok. Let’s finish this”. Amy goes for a clothesline, but Hush ducks it. His sudden desire to smash Amy's head in with a steel chair still plays on his mind. This needs to stop. He switches around Amy and throws her over the top rope. She lands on the floor but is quickly back up. She climbs back to the apron but only climbs into Hush, who has already run to the opposite ropes and dives through the middle one to effectively spear her off the apron and back onto the outside. Amy took another powerful blow to the shoulder as Hush landed on top of her. He gets right back up and takes Amy by the head, listening to the referee starting his ten count again.

Sharper: “After a brief reprieve as Hush had had a bit of a crisis of confidence-“

Knots: “Next time take the forfeit Amy. He doesn’t want to fight, don’t bother!”

Sharper: “He’s fighting now and again, to the arm, Amy hurt. Hush back in control!”

Hush seems to have gotten over his minor meltdown as he drives Amy's head into the ring post on the outside before rolling her back into the ring. He follows behind, grabbing Amy's leg and going for another pinfall attempt

1..

Amy kicks out at one! We’re getting deep into this contest now and Amy just instinctively gets the shoulder up to even her surprise. Hush needs to finish this, he’s desperate to finish this as he gets back to his feet and waits for Amy to heave herself up. She slowly rolls to the ropes as Hush watches her like a hawk. She grabs the second rope and uses her bad shoulder to drag herself to her knees, yelling in pain. Hush bides his time, making sure he stays behind her so she can’t see him. She eventually, after what feels like three years finally gets back up to her feet and Hush immediately goes back on the attack, spinning her around and scooping her up onto his shoulders. He’s going for his Silencer!

Sharper: “Silencer! He’s trying to get her up.”

Knots: “Fight Amy! Fight!”

Hush goes to throw Amy into the maneuver but Amy grabs his head with her legs and flips him over with a hurricanrana! Hush gets flung across the ring, but Amy is still hurt. Hush gets back up and hoists her up onto his shoulders again, but Amy shows her pure resilience by rolling through, sliding down behind him and rolling him up!

1..

2..

Hush kicks out! Amy has gotten out of his Silencer twice in less than a minute. She knows that move and how to get out of it. As soon as Hush breaks out of the pin though, Amy, using her superior quickness, quickly locks in the Tourniquet with Hush still on the canvas! Hush is in massive trouble now and frantically starts searching for ropes as the crowd suddenly explode into life!

Sharper: “Tourniquet! Amy Chastaine has it locked!”

Knots: “Listen to this crowd. They’re going nuts. They want to see him tap!”

Sharper: “The move that’s won her World Title matches here in SCW! What won her the Adrenaline Title too!”

Hush waves around, just trying to find anything to grab and heave himself forwards. He has seconds to go before he knows he’ll pass out. He kicks behind himself too and finds a bottom rope through luck far more than judgment. He yells at the referee that his bottom foot is on the rope and he dutifully starts the five count. Amy is determined to leave this locked in for as long as is humanly possible and it takes until the last nanosecond of the four count before the referee calls five for her to release the hold. Hush slumps, face first on the canvas, practically out cold and Amy looks down at him. This is the moment she realised everything changed because now she’s looking at him with the desire to get that steel chair and smash his brains out until there are none left in his skull just like he had done just a few minutes prior. This has been all about revenge and redemption in equal measure and Amy can finally see, now Hush is lying there in front of her in dire straits that he is trying to be genuine, that he has tried to change. But does she forgive him? Does she believe that is actually different, or will he forever be stuck in his past life and never truly escape it. That she doesn’t know and right now, she doesn’t need to find out. She has a match to win and a title to retain. She bends down to grab Hush, and he feebly tries to fight her off with half-power jabs to her legs and abdomen. They connect but only hurt half as much as they normally would. She kicks him in the stomach and puts him in the DDT position which precedes the Vortex, but the one half shot which really does connect and hurt is the bare knuckle punch to the knee! Amy drops to one leg and suddenly realises that earlier knee to the turnbuckle caused more damage then she thought. Hush can barely capitalise though, using the moment onto to knee up himself and punch Amy in the hurt shoulder rather than do something more flashy which involves standing up.

Sharper: “Hush to the knee! And Chastaine is slowly just getting beaten into submission!”

Knots: “The arm, the knee…and she just crumbles. But Hush can’t do anything.”

Amy winces in pain, but she refuses to let Hush beat her down. Both competitors are on their knees and use each other to get each other back to their feet. Hush tries to blast the shoulder again, but Amy dodges it, kneeing Hush in the gut, but feeling the pain in her own knee as a result. Hush feels Amy getting back into the Vortex position again and before she can finish the move, he scoops her up onto his shoulders and slams her with a Silencer!

Sharper: “Silencer! He got it! He planted her.”

Knots: “She was dropped on her head. Was that like a piledriver?”

Sharper: “The referee isn’t disqualifying him. They suggesting its not. Hush I don’t think realizes that could be the case! That’s a move he’s used for years!”

Hush sits up and lets out a long sigh. He’s finally done it. He’s finally beaten Amy one on one! He looks over to the crowd, many of whom are cheering for him now and he just slumps across her, not even with enough energy to hook the leg and the crowd count along with the referee

1..

2..

The referee breaks the count when he spots Amy’s foot on the ropes! He was so close to winning the Adrenaline Title and, fittingly, his adrenaline is pumping. The desire to smash Amy with a chair has gone. He wants to win this cleanly and fairly and without everything going black and some surprise return for once. He lifts Amy's dead weight and heaves her against the turnbuckle. He steps back to all the way back to the opposite corner of the ring and charges at her, only to find Amy in pure desperation lurching out of the corner and Hush has to react quickly. Both competitors hit each other with enormous running clotheslines and slumps to the mat! The referee begins the ten count as both competitors lie motionless on the canvas

Amy and Hush both start to slowly get up and Amy manages to get up first, staggering to her feet. She falls into the ropes. Hush gets up just after and falls into the ropes and turns around and Amy goes for a Lightning Strike. Hush catches her and spins her out. She spins around and he goes to grab her with the Force of Will. Amy blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. She grabs his head and goes for the Vortex, but Hush shoves her off. She runs into the ropes and bounces off and Hush nails her with a hard right. She turns and Hush lifts her up onto his shoulders. She tries to get free, but Hush turns and drives her down with the Silencer yet again. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Yet again! The Silencer! The referee moving in position!”

Knots: “I think there’s a bad call here!”

Hush rolls her over and falls on top of her.

The bell sounds. Hush rolls off.

Phillips: “Here is your winner and NEW SCW Adrenaline Champion, William Hush!”

Sharper: “William Hush has shocked the world and for the first time he managed to defeat Amy Chastaine in singles action!”

Knots: “I don’t know if the Silencer was kosher or not, the referee allowed it and it took two but it put Amy Chastaine out and William Hush is now Adrenaline Champion!”

Hush roll over and starts to get up. The referee walks over and hands him the SCW Adrenaline Championship. Hush takes it and looks at it. He then takes a moment to look at the SCW Adrenaline Championship. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as he looks up. Amy Chastaine slowly rolls over and William Hush walks over and extends his hand. Amy just looks at her as Amy slowly looks down before looking up. Amy looks clearly disappointed as Hush then pulls her up and to her feet. Hush then turns and extends the title back to her. She shakes her head. She points to her.

Amy: “You said it mattered….don’t do that….”

Amy then takes a moment before wincing and then raising his hand. Hush raises her, but noticeably puts the title to his side. Amy Chastaine holds his hand up for a moment before letting go. She backs up and just looks at him. She applauds half-heartedly, still annoyed at herself before backing up. She points to that belt as Hush looks at it. He just continues to look at the SCW Adrenaline Championship, unsure of what to think. Amy drops down to the floor and heads to the back, shaking her head, trying to come to terms with her performance as Hush stands in the ring with the Adrenaline Championship as the scene fades to black.

We open up with a shot of darkness. We then hear footsteps before the sound of industrial lights turning on with loud clicks. The camera focuses on the lights as they each come on, one set at a time. We then hear more footsteps before we cut to an old dusty ring, illuminated. The camera slowly shows the ring, showing the turnbuckles with the old SCW logo before cutting to the ring canvas and then finally the ring skirts, showing the old SCW logo again. We then see a figure stepping into the ring. He steps forward and looks around as the camera pans out to show Mr. D as he stands in the middle of the ring. He just sighs and nods. He then looks around before snapping his fingers. The scene then cuts to a shot of last year’s Rise to Greatness before cutting to a shot of Rise to Greatness in the Rogers Centre. We see Mr. D standing in the middle of the ring, as the images of past opening segments of Rise to Greatness flash all around him.

Mr. D: “Been a hell of a journey…A lot of history…”

Mr. D then smirks.

Mr. D: “Let’s see what we can do back at home…”

The scene then cuts to a shot of the Rise to Greatness logo with “XV” behind it.

“Rise to Greatness XV, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, July 22, 2018”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before slowly fading to black.

The lights dim before various lights flash around the big screen and the stage. We then see white and blue confetti starting to fall down onto the stage.

Raine: “No rain on this parade…”

“I Am the Fire” by Halestorm starts to play. The big screen come out as we see a shot of Samantha Raine in the middle of a field as it starts to rain onto her. The song continues to play before we see Sam Raine walk out from the back as the confetti rains down onto her. The crowd cheers as she remains standing on the stage. She keeps her head down before slowly rising it up to look at the crowd. Her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, she is Samantha Raine!”

Raine looks out at the crowd before just taking a moment to take in the scene. She then starts to walk down the rampway. She shakes out her hair, getting some of the confetti out of it as she heads to the ring. He runs her hand through her hair, throwing it back as she looks around. The crowd cheers her as we cut to a wide shot to see Raine on the stage but the many, many fans watching her. Raine makes her way to the ringside area and then goes over to the steps and runs up them. She then walks along the apron before stopping at the center and looking around. She then enters the ring before blowing a kiss to the fans. She then backs up as she runs into the ropes and bounces off them, getting warmed up and focused for her match.

Sharper: “Sam Raine’s time in SCW has been a roller coaster ride. She came in on a high, challenging Sienna Swann and being a different challenge for her Women’s Title. Then Brittany Lohan was at ringside. Sam Raine took a shot at her. Lohan returned the favour and Lohan has since, we believe, been resigned to a full contract.”

Knots:” And what a way to return to the ring in full, first pay per view appearance returning, Rise to Greatness against someone she has a long history with.”

“I Am Machine” by Three Days Grace starts to play throughout the stadium. The crowd boos before we see the stage turn a shade of red. A few moments pass before we see Brittany Lohan walks out from the back. She just looks down at the ring, no emotion on her face. The boos continue. She starts to scan the stadium as the camera focuses on her. She takes a few moments before her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from San Diego, California, she is Brittany Lohan!”

Brittany Lohan then starts to her powerwalk to the ring. She just walks with conviction down the entire length of the long rampway. She makes her way down before then stopping at the ringside area. She looks up at the ring and Samantha Raine before starting to walk around the ring. She keeps her eyes on Sam Raine as she makes her lap. She takes her time at this point as Sam Raine follows her around with her eyes. She then gets over to where she wants to enter and jumps up to the apron, using the ropes to pull herself up. She then enters the ring. She looks at Samantha Raine and smiles, rubbing her hands together. Sam Raine starts to pace a bit as the referee, Steven Hollinsworth, looks at both.

Sharper: “Brittany Lohan ready to go. Focused as always. Raine has not taken her eyes off of Lohan since she arrived at ringside.”

Knots: “We just saw one war between longtime rivals. Time to see something similar, but it may be a very different type of match.”

The bell sounds and Sam and Brittany move towards one another and immediately nail each other with hard forearm shots. Sam staggers back as Brittany winces and Sam comes back and both nail each other again with forearm shots. Brittany shakes her off and nails her again. Sam falls to the ropes. Lohan then headbutts her and Sam stumbles over to the corner. Brittany then grabs her and whips her across the ring. Sam runs across and jumps up and floats over to the apron. Lohan turns and runs at her and goes for a running boot. Sam spins out of the way. Lohan gets caught. The crowd roars. Raine nails her with a hard shot and then another and another while Lohan’s hung up on the ropes. The referee counts for the break.

Raine backs up and then turns and climbs up to the top rope. Lohan gets her leg free and winces and turns back to the ring and Raine dives off and nails her with a straight kick to the jaw. Lohan falls to the mat. Raine hits the mat. Raine then goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Raine with the boot off the top rope!”

Knots: “After catching Lohan in the ropes!”

Sharper: “Hot start here and now a cover!”

Lohan powers out. Raine rolls over and to the far corner. Lohan gets up and turns and starts to get up and Raine gets up and runs at her and Lohan just lowers her shoulder and lifts her up and spears her into the corner. Raine grimaces in pain. Lohan gets up and elbows her in the jaw. Raine falls over and rolls over. She starts to get up and Lohan runs at her and clotheslines her down. She turns back and grabs Raine and pulls her up before clubbing her hard in the back. Raine falls over. She gets up and Lohan clubs her hard again. Raine rolls over and grabs the ropes. Lohan grabs her by the hair and pulls her away. The referee warns her and Lohan then turns and runs her face first into the corner.

Sharper: “Lohan manhandling, or womanhandling I should say, Sam Raine!”

Knots: “Doesn’t matter. It’s only the start. Lohan is going to use her strength and make Raine go where she wants her to go.”

Lohan then grabs Raine and pulls her out of the corner and right into her shoulder. Raine rolls over, holding her jaw. Lohan turns and drops down, pushing down on Sam’s chest.

Raine kicks out. Raine turns and stirs and Lohan grabs her and nails her with a hard right. Raine falls back to the corner. Lohan then grabs her and backs up and hits a huge hip toss out of the corner. Raine hits the mat and rolls over. Raine slowly starts to get up and turns around and Lohan scoops her up onto her shoulder. Lohan walks around and runs to the corner for a snake eyes, but Raine slides down. Lohan hits the corner. She turns around and Raine jumps up and hits a dropkick. Lohan falls back and drops down to a knee.

Sharper: “Raine fighting out. Dropkick jars Lohan!”

Raine gets up and Lohan steps forward and Raine snapmares her over and then hits a shoot kick to the back of Lohan’s head. Lohan hits the mat. Raine goes for the pin.

Lohan kicks out. Raine rolls over. Both start to get up and Raine kicks Lohan in the ribs. She kicks her again and then a third time before pushing Lohan into the ropes. She goes to whip her across, but Lohan spins through and sends Raine in. Raine bounces off and Lohan goes for a clothesline. Raine ducks. She bounces off the other side and Raine jumps up and wraps around Lohan before suddenly locking in the octopus stretch. The crowd roars as Raine lets out a yell. Lohan grimaces as Raine pulls back.

Sharper: “Octopus Stretch. Raine wrapping herself around Lohan and pulling back on the arm!”

Knots: “Raine’s figuring something out. Can’t just go and fight her. Lohan’s got too good a chin!”

Sharper: “And trying to make her tap! Or at the very least, wear her down. Hurt that arm. Cut off some of that power!”

Raine keeps pulling back as Lohan winces. Hollinsworth checks Lohan, but Lohan yells at him. Raine re-wrenches the arm as Lohan grimaces and tries to free herself out a bit. She moves a bit and Raine tries to adjust herself, but Lohan manages to get Raine to move a bit before getting her arm over and sidewalk slamming her down. Lohan rolls away and holds her arm, wincing in pain and holding it. Raine rolls over and gets to the ropes. The crowd boos a bit as Lohan starts to get up. Raine slowly gets up too and the two turn around to each other and Raine runs at Lohan and Lohan goes for a clothesline, but Raine goes low with a dropkick to the knees. Lohan hits the mat. Lohan rolls over. Raine gets up and goes over to the corner. She glances back before climbing up to the top rope. Lohan winces as she is down and Raine then glances back again before diving off for a rounding moonsault, but Lohan rolls out of the way. Raine hits the mat hard.

Sharper: “Raine went big. Lohan moved! Raine misses the moonsault!”

Knots: “There’s where the knowing your enemy, knowing each other well is a big thing and Raine just found out that that mat is damn hard!”

Raine slowly rolls over and starts to get up and Lohan runs at her and shoulders her down. Raine slowly rolls over and Lohan watches her moment before she runs into the ropes and bounces off and jumps up and drills Raine with the Pounce. The crowd ohs as Raine hits the ropes hard and rolls over to the middle of the ring. Lohan then turns and crawls over and hooks the leg.

The crowd roars but Lohan gets her arms free and then lifts her head up and holds onto Raine. Raine struggles, but Lohan counters with an Alabama Slam. The crowd ohs. Raine is laid out. Lohan then walks over to the corner.

Sharper: “My God! My God what a slam!”

Lohan waits as Raine stirs and starts to get up and she turns back to Lohan and Lohan runs at her and jumps up and drills her with the For Your Eyes Only. Raine hits the mat. Lohan drops down and hooks the leg.

The crowd boos as Lohan pushes Raine’s leg down and gets up. The referee walks over and raises her arm.

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

The crowd boos more.

Sharper: “Sam Raine tried to keep fighting, tried to keep getting back up, but Lohan with some high impact, hard hitting moves just made sure that Raine was not going to get up. Driving her air out and then knocking her out with the For Your Eyes Only.”

Knots: “Lohan is back in SCW! Everyone better beware!”

Sharper: “That may be true. Not the night that Sam Raine wanted. But the statement Lohan certainly did.”

Brittany Lohan just looks around before smirking and turning back to Sam Raine who remains down. Lohan then steps over her, showing some disrespect before stepping through the ropes and dropping down to the floor. She starts to head to the back as Sam Raine slowly stirs, holding her jaw. The camera focuses on her as we then cut away.

We open up at ringside as we see a shot of Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Sharper: “Rise to Greatness weekend has been a hell of a time. We went back to Fanfest, but this year, we saw the SCW induct several new members into its Hall of Fame.”

Knots: “And on Friday night, I hosted that event and we saw some of SCW’s biggest stars take the moment.”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

The scene opens up to a video caption, as the sold out crowd can be heard roaring in the background. It opens up with clips of Matt Hodges hitting the Euthanasia on James Evans, Brian Kinney at Rise to Greatness and CHBK. Matt Hodges is shown standing up victoriously at the end of the 2008 Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal. The scene cuts back to the Hall of Fame Ceremony where the crowd is chanting for Matt Hodges. Chad smirks at the crowd while holding up the prestigious award.

Chad: "I suppose I'll accept the honor for him, and tell him you jerks didn't scream loud enough. Let's hear it one more time for Miami's Most Wanted... Matt Hodges!”

The scene switches over to Explicit Content arriving in a limousine. Violator steps out with Shawn Winters, Katie Steward and Chad Evans, MV is shown looming in the background. It then switches to Rise to Greatness 05' where The Dresser Boys stand up with the Tag Team Championship belts, winning it for the first time. Violator is shown striking down Celeste Camini before showing MV hitting the French Destroyer on Greg Cherry. We are then shown Violator and MV standing side by side at the pedestal.

Violator: "Well that was something. I don’t really know what to say, but I’ll just make this quick. I did join this company over 10 years ago with Explicit Content. I know I kind of bow out a few year later. It is a great feeling to be honor here tonight. Knowing that everyone holds a special place in their hearts for the Dresser Boys. I guess it pays off not murdering MV."

The scene switches between the crowd laughing to MV looking seriously out to the crowd, peering out adamantly.

MV: "I guess what I’m trying to say as I stand up here accepting dis honor. I’m not done yet. You’ll get MV every year till the very end because dis is only giving my life. I’ll show my daughter dat dreams do come true and I will be Champion again. "

The crowd applauds before the scene changes over to highlighting Brian Kinney's career. He is shown delivering the Tyger Bomb to several various stars over the years. It ends with him proudly standing at the corner with the World Championship over his shoulders. It then goes over to the Hall of Fame Ceremony where the crowd is standing and giving an ovation. We then cut to CHBK introducing Rachel Foxx at the same ceremony, the scene cutting away to showing her debuting. We see various points of her career teaming with Justin Davis as Bad Company becomes the Tag Team Champions. Rachel is shown connecting with a sledgehammer in various shots as people are being busted open. The feud and battle in the tactical warfare match before finally capturing her moment as she pins Syren to become the World Champion. Back at the ceremony she stands at the podium as the crowd is cheering her on.

Rachel: "And so, with these last few moments on this stage; I would like to challenge every girl watching this speech, to do better than I have. I would ask you not to see my legacy as something to be awed and revered; but, as a marker to be overcome and outdone. Ten years from now, I would like the SCW Hall of Fame to be overflowing with women who proved that this is OUR industry...OUR WORLD!! I would challenge you all to aim higher and elevate your own name, rather than trying to repeat someone else’s. People like me are the history of this company; and, this industry; but, it is women like you who are the FUTURE. YOU are the modern day Wonder Women; and, I would ask you to never forget that."

The scene changes over to Shawn Winters now standing at the podium.

Shawn: "James Exeter truly is a legend. So without further ado, ladies and gentleman please welcome, the one and only James Exeter."

Another video package plays out showing a young James Exeter eliminating several people as within his debut he comes within inches of winning the battle royal at Taking Hold of the Flame. James and Matt are shown going around at that same time period, smashing several opponents into the ring before cutting to them standing up with Cid Turner. We cut along later as James makes his own mark, winning the battle royal the following year before exerts are shown of his match against Shawn Winters at Rise to Greatness. We see him talking to Hurse backstage before showing them in the ring being aloof. He's shown again connecting with various moves against the likes of Matt Hodges, Jake Starr and Shilo Valiant. Back at the Hall of Fame ceremony he drops a letter he was reading from.

James: “Anyway, even though he can’t bring himself to say it, I know Matt feels the same as I do when I tell you that being inducted into the SCW Hall of Fame is the pinnacle of our achievements in our careers. It is the recognition that everything we were doing, the risks we were taking, the beatings we received, they all had a purpose. They were all leading somewhere. And it’s the recognition that along the way, the things we did were entertaining, and even Extraordinary. So from the bottom of my heart I say thank you for this honor. I say thank you for giving some young punk the chance to sparkle and shine on the brightest stage of them all.”

We then cut to Tommy Valentine standing at the podium.

Tommy: "I made no bones about my feelings when it looked as if this moment might not happen... But we don't need to go down that path right now and instead I go full circle to say that it's happening! My best friend, my brother is now where he belongs. You've earned it, brosef and don't worry, I'll make it my mission to join you soon! Now resisting the urge to go on, I give you the man of the moment... DAVID HELMS!"

The scene cuts off, showing David Helms as he's walking down to the ring for the first time. We then cut to various exerts from matches with Next Level facing Dark Fantasy and Karnival. It cuts to a scene of him stepping out at the End of the Year special as he challenges for the first time ever for the World Championship. Events are highlighted from his matches against Jake Starr, Lucas Knight, Shawn Winters, Syren, Kennedy Street before cutting to where he's announcing his retirement. Various crowd reactions are played throughout the last year of his career as he wins Best of the Best before capping it off with the final moments against Tommy Valentine at Final Level. It cuts back to the Hall of Fame Ceremony where David stands at the podium, looking around the audience.

David: “You guys who bought tickets for this, you guys watching at home, anyone who ever supported me in my career, cheered me on, bought merch… each and every one of you helped me more than you could ever know and without you, I’d be nothing. So thank you, all of you. You turned me from an unremarkable guy from New Jersey into a superstar and I can never repay that debt, I can’t…”

It then slows down as we see David Helms waving at the crowd as the Rise to Greatness logo comes back up on the screen.

We reopen in the ring to see Jason Phillips in the middle of it. Majestic music starts to play.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you, your SCW Hall of Fame Class of 2017!”

Phillips pauses for a moment.

Phillips: “Introducing first, Matt Hodges!"

The crowd erupts as Matt step out from behind the curtains. He looks around the crowd appearing emotionless before throwing up his arms to flip everyone off. He bows twice while continuing to hold his hands up in the air.

Phillips: "The Dresser Boys!"

MV and Violator step out as the crowd continues to cheer. They appear to be in beach clothes as MV has a top hat and quite thick sun screen on despite his complexion, with sun glasses to match. He waves into the crowd as Violator looks humbled to be there, peering amongst everyone before stepping over to where Matt is still flipping everyone off.

Phillips: "Brian Kinney!"

Brian Kinney steps out as the crowd still somehow manages to cheer louder, the pitch in the arena raising. He smiles and waves while stepping over to the side.

Phillips: "Rachel Foxx!"

Rachel steps out and smiles broadly, appearing to almost have a tear in her eye while stepping over to stand beside Brian.

Phillips: "James Exeter!"

James Exeter runs out from behind the curtains looking ready to run down the ring. He looks around confused before turning his head to see everyone else standing to the side of the stage. Smacking his head he shakes it as some in the crowd laugh a bit. He throws an arm up before running past everyone else to stand beside Matt.

Phillips: "And David Helms!"

David Helms steps out and looks taken aback by the crowd reaction before smiling cheerfully. He can visibly be shouting 'thank you' as the crowd begins to chant it back to the people on stage. Various chants break out from the crowd.

Phillips: "I'm proud to present to you all, your 2017 Hall of Fame class!"

The crowd continues to cheer as they all stand side by side, David stepping over to shake Brian Kinney's hand, James trying to push Matt's down.

We then cut backstage as we see a side by side shot of Kelcey Wallace backstage getting her gear together as she hangs her SCW World Championship on the hook behind her. She takes a deep breath as she starts to get prepared. On the other side, we see Cassidy Carter jabbing Ace Marshall in the ribs as he grabs his gear. He then shoves her back playfully before Carter mocks him a bit. Ace takes his gear out and starts to lay it out.

Sharper: “And as we celebrate this year’s class of Hall of Famers, two potential future Hall of Famers will clash later tonight for the World Title.”

Knots: “Good to see Cassidy Carter taking it seriously.”

Sharper: “We’ve talked about the different styles for weeks. Kelcey Wallace is focused on retaining the World Title. Ace Marshall certainly wants to win it, but has taken a bit of a different approach. Having fun on the side and making light of Kelcey. Someone is going to walk away the World Champion, the other disappointed.”

We continue to watch the two of them as we then cut back to the ring.

We cut to the ring to see Jason Phillips in the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit!”

“Tom Sawyer” by Rush starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp. Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd. As he stands atop the ramp, he throws his arm out with each big note of the beginning musical portion. After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front of the ramp. He looks around as the crowd roars and the nameplate comes out.

Phillips: “First, on his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!”

Donovan Kayl starts to make his way down the rampway. The crowd cheers him as we cut to a wide shot of the crowd as Kayl makes his way down the ramp. We then see a shot of Simon Lyman’s daughter, Angelina, at ringside, before showing Rachel Foxx and Cailey Carter on one side and Trinity Street on the other side. We cut back to see Donovan Kayl getting down to the ring and high-fiving a few fans hands at ringside. He then heads over to the Lyman section and quickly extends his fist for Angelina who fist pumps him and Kayl smiles a bit before nodding and turning to the ring and hopping onto the apron. He climbs up to the middle rope and looks around as the crowd cheers. He throws his arms up. He then hops into the ring and walks over to the middle of the ring, spinning once before dropping him down to a knee and shooting his arms out. He then slowly gets up before looking around the ring.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl coming out. Sharing a moment with Simon’s daughter. But this is going to be an emotional one. They’ve said, they’re going back to 2009. That’s the last time these two faced and didn’t have to worry about Blake Mason.”

Knots: “Yeah and think of it this way. Blake Mason isn’t coming out in this one. He’s got another fight to deal with.”

Sharper: “This is going to be a hell of a contest. Two great wrestlers. Two good friends. Simon Lyman calling it a career after this.”

The lights dim in the stadium. The crowd roars. A few moments pass before “Hero” by Skillet plays.

I’m just a step away

I’m just a breath away

Losin’ my faith today (Fallin’ off the edge today)

I am just a man

Not superhuman (I’m not superhuman)

Someone save me from the hate

All of the sudden the music stops. A spotlight then shines up to the top of the jumbotron as the crowd roars. We then see Simon Lyman on the top of the jumbotron as he looks around. He just scans the crowd and smiles a bit, just taking in the moment as he looks around at the capacity crowd. The music changes, starting to play “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The crowd roars before Lyman then looks around one last time before diving off and starting to rappel down from the top. He looks around as the crowd cheers him as he makes his way down the line. Several peoples take pictures as flashes can be seen all over before he makes his way down to a designated platform in the crowd. He lands on it and stops as he looks around. He’s helped out of his harness before he turns and walks through the crowd and walking right over to his family.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Columbus, Ohio, he is Simply Sensational, Simon Lyman!”

The crowd continues to look on as Kayl watches him in the ring. Lyman walks over and kisses Angelina as he walks in front of her and says something to her before turning and kissing Cailey. He then looks briefly at Rachel Foxx, who is now back at ringside, and Trinity Street and hopping the barricade. He then turns and hops onto the apron. The crowd cheers. He turns and enters the ring and spins around a bit before stopping and looking around. He then turns to Kayl. Kayl nods as Lyman backs off and takes off his entrance attire. He turns and places it over the top rope as a crew member takes it and turns around and stretches as Kayl does the same. The music fades out as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Coming into his first entrance theme, Won’t Back Down by Tom Petty. And much like his career was a whirlwind, one last show as he arrives from the heavens and comes in in style. Recovering from a stroke to return to the ring and compete here tonight and end his career on his terms.”

Knots: “Yeah and now he has to get focused. Spikes the adrenaline. That’s probably good. But has to focus on facing his friend.”

Sharper: “A twenty-two year career about to come to an end here and in a classic. Simon Lyman one last time here at Rise to Greatness!”

Simon and Kayl look at one another as the official, Aaron Demitra, calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the two step out of their corners as the crowd cheers before the two shake hands. They then back up and watch one another before locking up in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Kayl turns into a side headlock.

Sharper: “I guess they had a bit of a wager backstage or something. Lyman gets the first hip toss of the match.”

Knots: “I’m waiting for when someone is going to go for the eyes.”

Sharper: “That won’t be happening Jon.”

We open up with a shot of a rundown building. The sound of wind blowing through the area is heard, as we also see dust start to roll past the building. We then see Sienna Swann walking out of the building and then looking around, while wearing a torn black dress and high heels.

Sienna: “Oh dear…This will not do.”

We then continue to see the dust and sand move across as Sienna Swann turns and starts to look around. She then suddenly goes from unimpressed to disgusted and angry.

Sienna: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

We then pan the camera around to see Bree Lancaster across the opening next to another broken down building, lounging in a beach chair, leaning back in a one-piece swimsuit. She then shakes her drink, rattling the ice in it.

Bree: “Garcon! Garcon!”

Bree sits up and looks around.

Bree: “Oh this is not good at all.”

We cut back to Sienna.

Sienna: “The worst day ever.”

We abruptly cut to a shot of the Apocalypse logo and a voiceover comes over.

“SCW presents Apocalypse, live on Sunday, September 10, 2017, only on pay per view.”

We then cut back to see Sienna now with her back to Bree.

Bree: “Mind covering up. I don’t need to see your ass.”

Sienna: “Better than being one…”

Bree: “Excuse me?”

The scene cuts to black.

The lights dim as the opening beats of “The Vengeful One” by Disturbed play throughout the arena. Deep purple lighting starts to come from the stage and surround the stadium. Smoke starts to billow out onto the stage. The music continues to play for a few moments before the lyrics start and we see a shot of a hooded man walking out from the back. With him is Ethan von Aaron. The crowd boos loudly as Ethan looks around and points to the hooded man who takes off his hood, revealing himself to be Thirteen. Thirteen drops down to his knee and throws his head back as he extends his hands. Pyro shoots out of the floor in front of the stage and high into the air. His nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Ethan von Aaron, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Thirteen!”

Thirteen then slowly gets up before starting to walk down to the ring. Ethan von Aaron continues to head to the ring. We notice a cast around his hand from the latest edition of Breakdown. He continues on his way to the ring, leading Thirteen down as the boos continue. Thirteen walks down the rampway and heads over to the ring and hops up onto it. Ethan runs up the steel steps before entering into the ring. He walks around the ring as Thirteen goes over to the middle of the ring. He looks around the arena as he takes off his cloak and throws it to the floor. He then turns to Ethan who starts calming him down. Thirteen then backs up to the corner.

Sharper: “Ethan von Aaron, sporting a cast on his arm, courtesy of Kennedy Street.”

Knots: “Kennedy hitting his hand and fracturing his wrist. Beautiful!”

Sharper: “But Ethan saying that he was going to give Kennedy one final chance to re-sign with him. And all of this after what was likely an emotional match watching her mentors, her friends, Simon Lyman and Donovan Kayl compete moments ago.”

A few moments pass before “Criticize” by Adelita’s Way starts to play. A few moments pass before Kennedy Street walks out from the back, dressed in a robe. She looks down to the ring before taking off the robe, revealing her body suit, covering the important parts, but showcasing her physique. She remains looking down at the ring before sparks fall down behind her as she raises her right arm and starts to head down to the ring as her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “And his opponent, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Sexy, Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

The crowd cheers as Kennedy Street continues to head down to the ring. She brings her arm down as Ethan von Aaron looks at her. Kennedy keeps her eyes focused on the ring, Ethan and Thirteen. She then walks down to the ring, largely ignoring the fans as she gets to the ringside area. She then walks around the ring before stepping up onto the apron. She walks along the apron and steps through the ropes slowly. She then glances back as she walks over to the corner and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. She looks out at the crowd as they cheer. She then glances back before stepping off. She turns around and looks over at Thirteen and Ethan.

Knots: “Now you just need to take out that snake oil salesman and his damn paid-off fighter.”

Sharper: “That’s going to take a lot. Ethan von Aaron has shown his craftiness as of late and Thirteen is a former World Champion and very, very dangerous in that ring as we’ve seen.”

Knots: “I’m just worried here. So much on her mind…so much…and so much she’s fought for.”

Ethan then walks forward and points to himself and then Thirteen and then to all three before Kennedy immediately nails Ethan with a hard right hand. The crowd erupts in cheers. Ethan falls back and rolls to the apron. The referee calls for the bell as Thirteen runs over and kicks Kennedy in the ribs. He kicks her again and then spins her around and into the corner. Kennedy turns, covering up, but Thirteen shoulders Kennedy in the ribs and then again and again. The crowd boos loudly as Kennedy winces and Thirteen then pulls her up and snapmares her down to the mat. He pushes her down and knees her shoulder and then again and again. Kennedy gets free and rolls over to the ropes. She starts to use them to get up.

Sharper: “Thirteen all over Kennedy. No doubt that was what they were talking about. If Kennedy said no, what would happen?”

Knots: “What would happen if she said yes? Would he still want to attack her because Kennedy is a petty, petty man!”

Sharper: “Kennedy now just getting to the ropes. Trying to get any distance as Thirteen is relentless!”

Kennedy gets up and Thirteen nails her in the ribs with a hard right. Kennedy walks around the ring as Thirteen follows. Kennedy turns and Thirteen nails her with a hard right. The referee reprimands Thirteen for the closed fist and Thirteen kicks Kennedy in the ribs. He turns and whips her into the ropes. Kennedy bounces off and Thirteen hits a knee into the ribs on the rebound. Kennedy winces, holding her ribs as Thirteen goes for the pin.

Kennedy kicks out. Kennedy rolls over and Thirteen turns and grabs her as Ethan holds his jaw on ringside, looking in. Thirteen spins Kennedy around and throws her chest first into the ropes. She bounces back and Thirteen forearms Kennedy in the back. He pushes her forward and into the ropes chest first again and forearms her in the back again. Thirteen then grabs Kennedy and hooks her up before hitting a back suplex. Kennedy turns and holds her head. Ethan yells at her before turning to Thirteen to punish her more. Thirteen however goes for the pin.

Kennedy kicks out. Ethan keeps yelling at Thirteen. Thirteen grabs Kennedy, looking at Ethan briefly before turning and throwing her into the corner.

Sharper: “Ethan now shouting orders at Thirteen. I think he wants him to maim Kennedy!”

Knots: “No!”

Sharper: “But look out. Kennedy! Fighting back!”

Knots: “Yes!”

Thirteen walks in and Kennedy kicks him in the ribs. He staggers back. Kennedy kicks him again. Thirteen then nails her with a hard right. Kennedy falls back.

Thirteen starts to get up and Kennedy throws Thirteen into the corner. Kennedy moves in and starts to choke him with her foot. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Cut off his breath. Make him work for all of it.”

Kennedy steps off. She walks around. Thirteen walks along the ropes and Kennedy turns around and kicks him in the ribs. She then snapmares him over. Kennedy stands over him and hits a leg drop. She gets up and hits another leg drop before getting up and hitting a third leg drop before rolling into a pin.

Thirteen kicks out. Kennedy rolls off and gets up and Thirteen stirs. He starts to get up and Kennedy forearms him in the jaw and then again.

Sharper: “Kennedy striking hard and trying to keep Thirteen on his back foot.”

Knots: “Or flat on his ass. I’d prefer that!”

Kennedy then runs into the ropes. She bounces off and forearms Thirteen again. Thirteen staggers up to his feet and backs up into the ropes. Kennedy walks after and kicks him in the ribs. She turns and tries to drag him over to the corner, but Thirteen suddenly nails her in the ribs and turns before hitting a T-Bone suplex into the corner. The crowd ohs and Kennedy rolls over, holding her back in pain. Ethan walks over and gets right in Kennedy’s face, berating her.

Ethan: “You think you’re too good for what you did. That’s who you were and if you’re not going to be true to yourself, I don’t want to see you here!”

Ethan then looks up at Thirteen.

Ethan: “Do it again!”

Thirteen walks over and grabs Kennedy by the head.

Knots: “You son of a bitch!”

Sharper: “A hard suplex into the corner. Kennedy Street could be hurt. Ethan von Aaron wants Thirteen to do it again!”

Thirteen then pulls Kennedy up. He then turns and drags her over before hooking her up and hitting a snap suplex into the corner. The crowd ohs and Thirteen grabs Kennedy and drags her out from the corner and goes for the pin.

Kennedy gets her shoulder up. She slowly rolls over, clearly in pain as Thirteen pulls her up. Thirteen then double-underhooks her and looks around before hoisting her up and hits a suplex. Kennedy rolls over. She holds her lower back as Thirteen slowly gets up again. Thirteen just watches her as she starts to get up.

He then throws her back with a half-nelson suplex. The crowd ohs. Thirteen then rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Kennedy shoots her shoulder up. Thirteen looks up. He then slowly grabs Kennedy and pulls her up by the hair.

Knots: “I don’t know if I can watch.”

Sharper: “Thirteen, cold and calculated. He’s hit suplex after suplex. Kennedy trying to fight, but those suplexes in the corner doing the damage and who knows? Her back could be hurt.”

Knots: “And this is what Ethan wanted?!”

Kennedy struggles a bit and Thirteen whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Thirteen drops her with a hard back elbow. Kennedy pops up and rolls over and holding her jaw. She stirs and Thirteen waits as she starts to get up and Thirteen then drags her up and spins her around, going for a German suplex. Kennedy however grabs his hands and fights before running forward to the corner and jumping up and pushing back from the middle turnbuckle. She lands on Thirteen and rolls through as Thirteen winces. He turns and gets up to his hands and knees and Kennedy quickly lunges and hits a basement dropkick, knocking Thirteen down. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Big dropkick! Thirteen is floored! Kennedy got all of that, right in his face!”

Knots: “Yeah. Kennedy isn’t going to just going to roll over. Kennie is going to kick Thirteen’s ass!”

Ethan looks stunned, yelling at Thirteen to get up. Thirteen rolls over and holds his face and starts to get up and staggers forward only for Kennedy to look over and jump up and take him down with a crescent kick. The crowd roars. Thirteen stirs and Kennedy runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits the Silver Spoon. Thirteen rolls to his back and Kennedy dives for the pin.

Thirteen rolls his shoulder up. The crowd ohs and boos. Kennedy rolls off and sits up. She then starts to get up. Kennedy turns and runs into the ropes.

Kennedy however hooks the bottom rope. Kennedy elbows Thirteen in the jaw and then again and spins around. She jumps up and hits a neckbreaker. Thirteen rolls over and stirs. Kennedy then jumps up and hits dropkick, knocking him down. Kennedy then goes for another pin.

Sharper: “Ethan trying to get involved. Kennedy saw it coming!”

Thirteen kicks out.

Knots: “Damn! Damn damn damn!”

Kennedy turns and then stomps Thirteen in the face. She walks over to the corner and climbs up to the top rope. Ethan turns and runs around the ring. He jumps to the apron as Kennedy dives back, hitting a moonsault onto Thirteen. She hooks the leg.

Thirteen kicks out. Kennedy rolls over and turns and runs over and kicks at the ropes. Ethan backs up. He smiles and points to his wrist.

Ethan: “This won’t happen again.”

Kennedy backs up and tells him to get into the ring.

Knots: “No! Kennie! Thirteen! Look out!”

Knots gets up, pointing behind her as Kennedy notices him and Ethan smirks before Kennedy turns and Thirteen spears her down. The crowd ohs and Kennedy rolls over, holding her ribs in pain. Thirteen then turns and starts to get up. Kennedy holds her ribs and Thirteen grabs her and pulls her up before pulling her back and locking in a dragon sleeper. The crowd boos as Thirteen pulls her back and remains standing on his feet. Kennedy reaches around as the boos grow. Ethan yells at Thirteen.

Ethan: “Yeah! Squeeze those last hopes out!”

Kennedy kicks a bit and the crowd boos as Thirteen keeps pulling her back. Kennedy reaches around before grabbing at the head and hair of Thirteen. Thirteen loosens his grip a bit before Kennedy manages to get him to stagger around a bit and Kennedy feels the ropes. She hooks her foot and the referee calls for the break.

Kennedy however pushes off and uses her leg strength to backflip through. She then stomps the back of Thirteen’s leg before jumping up and hitting the Ride of Coventry! Thirteen falls forward and face first into the mat.

Sharper: “Kennedy!”

Knots: “Ride of Coventry! Yes! Yes!”

She then glances back as Thirteen slowly gets up and Kennedy watches him as he starts to pulls himself up and is bent over and Kennedy runs at him and jumps up and hits the Pedicure. The crowd roars. Thirteen hits the mat. Ethan looks on stunned as Kennedy drops down to the mat and hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers as the bell sounds. Kennedy rolls off and starts to get up.

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

Ethan von Aaron slides into the ring as Kennedy gets up and Ethan nails her hard from behind. Kennedy falls over as the crowd boo. Thirteen rolls over to the corner. Ethan then looks at Kennedy before he turns back to Thirteen before turning and stomping Kennedy in the back and then again and again.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street is victorious! Ethan von Aaron already going into the ring! He’s assaulting her!”

Knots: “Damn it Ethan! Damn you!”

Ethan then turns and looks at Knots before smirking before turning back to Kennedy.

Ethan: “Come on Kennedy! Get up. Face me face to face since that’s what you’re all about now!”

Kennedy grabs at the ropes as the referee tells Ethan to leave. Ethan nails him with the cast. The crowd ohs and boos as Kennedy starts to get up in the corner. She turns to Ethan, holding the back of her head as Ethan just smiles before shaking his head.

Ethan: “This didn’t have to end like this.”

Just then, Thirteen runs forward and nails Ethan in the back of the head with a forearm shot. Ethan staggers forward and Kennedy drills Ethan with the Touch of Class. Ethan staggers back and right into Thirteen who suddenly grabs Ethan locks in the Last Breath. The crowd roars. Kennedy looks a bit surprised as Thirteen hooks Ethan’s legs and forces him down as he’s already half out of it from the Touch of Class. Thirteen pulls back as Ethan quickly starts to fade and goes limp. The crowd roars as Kennedy looks at Thirteen as Thirteen just looks at Kennedy.

Sharper: “Kennedy with the Touch of Class! And Thirteen helping Kennedy before locking in the Last Breath!”

Knots: “I…I don’t get it! But I love it!”

Sharper: “Ethan von Aaron is out! He’s not moving!”

Kennedy just looks on for a moment longer before backing up and exiting to the floor. The crowd roars as Thirteen holds the hold on for a moment longer before letting go. “Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays as Kennedy just turns her back to the ring and heads to the back.

Knots: “Turning her back on the ring and that chapter. Ethan von Aaron is out!”

Sharper: “Symbolically saying that as she heads to the back. Not helping Ethan. Ethan’s plan coming to an inglorious end as Kennedy Street is victorious here tonight against Thirteen and caps off her rebirth over the last year!”

Kennedy continues to make her way to the back as Thirteen rolls to his knee and looks over at Ethan who is unconscious in the ring. The camera cuts back to Kennedy as she heads up the rampway.

We then cut backstage as we open up in the locker room of Simon Lyman who enjoying a glass of champagne as Cailey Carter is with him. We then see Trinity Street with them.

Trinity: “Look Simon…nothing to be disappointed with out there. You left it all in the ring.”

Simon: “I’m fine. I’m happy. This is still a storybook ending even with the loss. And to Donovan. Someone who has been just getting better and better. To leave here knowing that I got to be in that ring with Donovan…I got to know he’s probably as good as he’s ever been…and now I get to watch that at home.”

Kayl: “Okay, okay…”

Kayl walks over.

Kayl: “Time to put the wine down. You’ve had enough-“

Simon: “Look I’m serious!”

Kayl: “Yeah, yeah…”

Kayl turns to Simon.

Kayl: “If you don’t stop, I’ll tear up. Just….enjoy the night. And me and my career…well, at some point, I’ll win the World Title for us. But for now, it’s about you, bro.”

Simon: “Yeah, yeah.”

Cailey rubs Simon’s back as Simon’s daughter Angelina comes up.

Angelina: “Daddy…uh…can I get some water?”

Simon looks around. Trinity turns to the desk of drinks.

Trinity: “Oh, we seem to be out.”

Kayl: “I’ve got it. You should all be here…you’re family.”

Kayl heads out as Simon just sighs. He then leans back.

Simon: “Yeah…in one place.”

Cailey looks at Trinity.

Trinity: “As I said earlier on the show when Lexy came to me, just glad we could bury the hatcher so I could be here for this.”

We then hear a knock at the door.

Simon: “Donovan…did you lock yourself out?”

The door opens and a completely different person steps in.

???: “Oh…this isn’t the catering?”

Simon: “Not at all man. Can I help you?”

The man walks forward, extending his hand. Simon shakes it .

???: “Edward Adams…just got signed here. Nice to meet you…Doing some sort of harem gimmick. I mean, the one’s a big long in the tooth, but some of the teens out there would want to hit that-“

Trinity: “Excuse me?”

Cailey: “Hey. There’s a child here.”

Edward looks around.

Edward: “Oh…her…didn’t see her. So it’s a Mormon thing. Got multiple wives. The hot brunette out there with you too. Damn, man…hook me up-“

Trinity: “Do you even have a clue who you’re talking to?”

Simon: “Trin…it’s fine-“

Edward: “Well it would be polite to introduce yourself-“

Trinity then steps forward and Edward jukes back and quickly backs out of the room.

Cailey: “Some people.”

Trinity walks out after to make sure he heads away.

As Trinity steps out, we hear Rachel Foxx.

Foxx: “Guys! Get help!”

Simon looks up and turns to Cailey.

Simon: “Stay with Angelina.”

Simon turns and exits as Trinity bolts out too. The cameraman follows and we see Donovan Kayl, bloodied on the ground. Rachel Foxx is kneeling over him, checking him. A bottle of water is on the ground next to him.

Rachel: “Donovan! Can you hear me? Donovan!”

Trinity: “Not tonight…bloody hell, not tonight.”

Simon heads over to Donovan.

Simon: “Donovan….”

Trinity turns to the cameraman.

Trinity: “Get some help. Just go.”

The cameraman turns and puts the camera down as he heads off. The crowd buzzes as we cut to ringside.

We open up to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl assaulted backstage. He was bloodied and ….on a night they’re celebrating Simon Lyman’s career.”

Knots: “Someone has a lot of gall. A lot of gall.”

“Fall Into Sleep” begins to play as spotlights shine down on the middle of the stage. The big screen remains black. Josh Hudson walks out from the back, wearing a hoodie and the hood up over his face. He looks around at the top of the stage as the crowd boos him. He just scoffs before then starting to make his way down to the ring, not bother playing to the crowd. His nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is the submission match and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on his way to the ring, from New York City, New York, he is Josh Hudson!”

Hudson walks down the rampway, smirking as the crowd continues to boo. He looks around and just smiles sadistically more and more as he gets down to the ring. He walks around the ring a bit before turning and sliding into the ring. He gets up and goes over to the corner. He then climbs up onto the middle turnbuckle. He looks around as he then takes his hoodie off and drops it down. He hops down and turns around before looking around and stretching out. He eyes the entrance way as he paces a bit.

Sharper: “This is a match that Syren wanted. Josh Hudson wants to end Syren’s career. He wants to injure her. He wants to remove her from the top of the card.”

Knots: “And Taking Hold of the Flame didn’t settle anything except give Hudson a headache from a chairshot and Hudson eliminating Syren in the battle royal. Syren wanted a submission match. Well, Syren is going to get that. Hudson is more than happy to oblige!”

Sharper: “Hudson has been in multiple submission matches. He’s got the experience and the edge in my mind. He’s known for his grappling ability.”

The lights dim and we see a pink heart come up on the big screen. In the darkness we hear the thumping of a heart beating twice. With each beat we see a pink heart on the screens, and pink lights on the stage flashing in unison. A few moments pass before the lights flash and heartbeats are heard again. Another couple of seconds and then one more time before the entrance stage goes a hue of pink as a silhouette of Syren is seen on the big screen. “Groupie” by Cassie Steele starts to play as the crowd cheers. We then see Syren walking out from the back in her wrestling attire and looking down at the ring.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She turns around and takes a deep breath before extending her arms. We see a different jacket on her, with “YOU ARE JEALOUS” on her back. She doesn’t point before turning around and refocusing and looking down at the ring. She then starts to make her way down as the nameplate comes up. Hudson is then shown smirking in the ring.

Phillips: “And his opponent, representing Dark Fantasy, from Malibu, California, she is the Self-Proclaimed Best Female Wrestler Today, Syren!”

Syren makes her way down the rampway to the ring. She looks down at the ring as Hudson bends over and motions to her to come at him. Syren looks right at him as she heads down to the ring and reaches it before running up the steel steps. She then walks along the apron and looks at Hudson. She then steps through and slowly bends over, but not to do her show, to watch Hudson instead. Hudson chuckles as he walks along the ropes on the other side of the ring. She steps in and then takes her entrance jacket off. She places it in her corner and then starts to stretch. She paces at her side of the ring as Hudson does the same. Aaron Demitra, the official, looks on and checks on both of them.

Sharper: “Syren focused on Josh Hudson. As we’ve said, she wanted this. She has the quickness. She’s closer to her prime and think about that. But Hudson has the size. He’s got the experience in submission wrestling.”

Knots: “I hope that motivation and desire are enough. Hudson has his own desires and it involves making Syren’s night horrible.”

Sharper: “And no love lost. You saw Syren eying Hudson the entire time. And the hatred, the attempts to injure, especially by Hudson. This all started with him trying to take Syren out by attacking her backstage and giving her a concussion. That led to Syren missing her first pay per view event since debuting in 2009.”

Demitra steps back and calls for the bell. The crowd roars as Syren and Hudson circle the ring and Hudson smirks before lunging over and going to grab Syen. Syren ducks and spins around. Hudson turns around and Syren grabs the arm and wrenches it. Hudson winces a bit before shoving her back. Syren hits the ropes and stops herself. She walks around the ring as Hudson watches her. Hudson heads towards Syren as Syren backs up a bit and Hudson moves in and grabs her, but Syren kicks him in the thigh. Hudson spins around and Syren kicks Hudson in the thigh. Hudson backs up to the corner and Syren backs up. Hudson steps forward and then runs at her and goes for the legs, but Syren manages to sprawl and force Hudson down and tries to grab him by the head with a front face lock.

Sharper: “Syren trying to fight very defensively early.”

Knots: “All I think it’s doing is pissing Hudson off. If I’m Syren, I’m running around. I’m striking and moving. I’m hoping I’m injuring something. Then again, if I was also Syren, I’d hate myself!”

Syren holds on and Hudson starts to get his knees under him. He then lifts Syren up as the crowd roars and Hudson throws Syren forward and Syren lands on her feet. She steadies herself and Hudson steps forward and grabs Syren and pulls her into the ropes. She bounces off and Hudson scoops her up and onto his shoulder, but Syren kicks her legs and slides behind him. Hudson turns around and Syren hits a dropkick to the chest. Hudson falls back. He gets up and turns around and Syren goes for the legs with another dropkick. The crowd cheers. Hudson hits the mat and Syren turns and grabs at the leg. She pulls it up and lifts up Hudson’s left leg and goes for an elbow, but Hudson boots her in the shoulder. Syren staggers back. Hudson rolls over and gets up and Syren turns back and Hudson suddenly takes her down with an armbar takedown. Syren frantically rolls over and Hudson gets up and Syren pushes him back with her feet. Hudson falls to the ropes.

Sharper: “Hudson nearly got the arm. Nearly trapped the arm.”

Knots: “And with the fujiwara, that could’ve been in and this would’ve been a historic moment in the history of wrestling!”

Hudson steps forward as Syren gets up and she then lunges at him and tries to spear him back. The crowd roars as Hudson blocks it and smirks before gutwrenching her up and throwing her back with a suplex. Syren rolls over and to the ropes. Hudson then walks over and grabs Syren and pulls her away from the ropes and knees her in the ribs. He then gutwrenches her up again and just drives her down into the mat chest first. Syren winces and Hudson starts to grind his elbow into the ribs of Syren. Syren yells out as the crowd gives a mixed response. Hudson keeps grinding in as Syren tries to turn away. Hudson follows and then just hits a couple of hammerfists to the ribs of Syren. Syren covers up and Hudson nails her again as Syren gets to her back. She then hits a kick to the side of Hudson’s head. She hits another and Hudson rolls away. Syren rolls over and to the ropes, holding her ribs.

Sharper: “Hudson starting to go for the ribs.”

Knots: “I don’t know if there was a submission there, but trying to bruise those ribs. Make it harder to breathe.”

Sharper: “Possibly a difference maker later on. You get concerned, breathe heavier. Harder to do if you’re hurt.”

Syren gets up at the ropes and Hudson then turns and runs at her and Syren lowers the top rope and Hudson goes up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars. Hudson rolls over and gets up on the floor. He turns to the ring and Syren kicks at him through the ropes and then again and again. She backs up and Syren then uses the top rope to swing through with a dropkick, but Hudson blocks it and grabs her legs. He then tries to pull Syren through and lock in the Hudson Stretch. Syren however fights it and uses her free leg to kick Hudson in the head and then again before he just dumps her down hard. Hudson backs away.

Sharper: “Syren nearly got caught. Hudson Stretch! We saw how quickly Hudson could get it on Syren a couple of weeks ago.”

Knots: “That’s the problem with Syren being so light!”

Sharper: “And Syren realized…remember, we should note. There are no rope breaks in this match. You need to figure out a way out. So on the floor, you lose some leverage because in the ring, you can use the ropes to help you.”

Knots: “Unless someone is using the ropes to make you tap!”

Hudson takes a moment as Syren then starts to get up and Hudson turns around and walks over and Syren kicks him in the thigh. Hudson winces and Syren steps to the barricade and jumps back with a kick to the jaw. Hudson falls to the steel steps. Syren then walks over and runs at him and just throws herself into Hudson, causing him to go back first into it. The crowd ohs. Hudson drops down to the floor. Syren rolls over and looks around. She then turns and rolls into the ring. Hudson grabs at the ring apron and pulls himself up. He rolls in and Syren backs up.

Sharper: “Syren intelligently entering the ring. She doesn’t want to give Hudson an opening.”

Hudson gets up and Syren runs at him and hits a running forearm. Hudson falls to the corner. Syren then grabs the arm and pulls it around the top rope. She starts to pull back as Hudson grimaces. The referee checks on Hudson as the crowd roars a bit. Hudson winces as Syren keeps pulling and Hudson hits a back elbow and Syren falls back. Hudson shakes out his arm and walks over to Syren. Syren then hits a drop toe hold. Hudson ends up on the mat and Syren rolls through and locks in an Achilles lock. The crowd cheers again.

Sharper: “Syren just focusing on anything at this moment. The leg. Earlier the arm. The back.”

Knots: “That’s all well and good, but Hudson’s going to pick things that work towards his goal. Syren may have wanted this, but this is not the time to experiment or hope something works out.”

Sharper: “A fair point. Syren not as well-versed in submissions. Very capable in the ring and a high degree of respect for Hudson’s skill, even if she doesn’t respect Hudson!”

Hudson reaches back and then starts to move to the ropes. Syren holds on, trying to keep the pressure. Hudson grabs at the ropes. The referee doesn’t break it though as Syren keeps holding on. Hudson then grabs at the ropes. He pulls himself up and turns as Syren loses the leverage and then lets go and turns and grabs Hudson. She forearms him in the jaw and then again before pulling him by the arm and going to the ropes again, but Hudson pulls it free and then Syren turns only for Hudson to grab her and throw her overhead with a belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs and Syren rolls over.

Sharper: “Big suplex. Hudson getting free and getting some space.”

Knots: “All while dropping Syren hard. Just launching her. I could get used to seeing that more.”

Syren rolls over and starts to get up as Hudson pulls himself up. Syren steps forward and Hudson then grabs her and turns her before hooking her up in an abdominal stretch. The crowd boos as Hudson pulls back. Syren winces as Hudson smiles. She keeps pulling back before starting to take right elbow and grinding it into Syren’s ribs. Syren winces and tries to free herself. Hudson loses his grip a bit before he stops and relocks it. Syren wince sand Hudson starts to look around. Syren shakes her head no as Hudson then pulls her back towards the ropes a bit before then grabbing the top rope for added leverage. Syren yells out as Hudson pulls back more, using the ropes to add to the pressure. Syren yells out as Demitra checks again. Syren shakes her head no before starting to move a bit. Hudson keeps pulling before Syren tries to slide out, getting her leg free before Hudson lets go and Syren spins through. Hudson then grabs her by the head as she’s bent over and clubs her in the back. Syren falls to her knees. Hudson then hooks her up by the head. He steps forward to the middle of the ring. He then hoists her up for a vertical suplex and slams her down. The crowd boos.

Knots: “Big suplex!”

Sharper: “Hudson smiling. He’s going to work. He’s starting to hurt Syren. The abdominal stretch hurting those ribs more.”

Knots: “Forcing her to breath deeper. Be in pain.”

Syren turns and Hudson walks over. He grabs Syren and pulls her up before forearming her in the jaw. Syren falls to the ropes. He whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Hudson runs at her and drills her with a hard clothesline. Syren hits the mat. The crowd boos as Hudson walks around the ring and then goes over to Syren, dropping down to his knees. He starts to grind his elbow into the face of Syren. Syren pushes away and rolls over. Hudson smirks as she then grabs at the ropes. Hudson walks over and grabs her by the hair. He pulls her back before just sweep kicking Syren’s leg out. Syren yells out, holding her knee in pain.

Knots: “Setting up for Hudson Stretch already!”

Sharper: “Tried for already in this match. Now he’s going for the leg, trying to knot up those muscles.”

Syren turns over and Hudson walks over to her and pulls her up. He then pulls her up by the knee and hoists her up before hitting a kneebreaker. Syren hits the mat. Hudson holds onto the leg. He then turns and drives his elbow into Syren’s right leg. The crowd boos as Syren yells out. Hudson continues to grind his elbow into Syren’s thigh. Syren shakes her head no as the referee, Aaron Demitra, checks on her. Syren looks up, the anguish evident on her face as Hudson keeps grinding in. Syren looks around before taking a few breathes and reaching out with her hands. Hudson shakes her hands away before Syren uses his other leg and tries to bring it over. Syren keeps fighting as Hudson tries to keep his head moving before Syren pulls him back enough to drive her free leg into his face. Hudson falls back. Syren then drives it into his face again before nailing him again. Hudson lets go and rolls away. Syren moves back to the ropes and winces before pulling herself up.

Sharper: “Syren fighting out of the leg lock as she gets her leg up and over and drives it into Hudson’s face a few times.”

Knots: “Yeah, but that just may be delaying the inevitable!”

Sharper: “Not if Syren can get something going here!”

Hudson gets up and turns and runs at Syren and Syren uses the ropes and gets her feet up and Hudson falls back as Syren backflips through to the apron. Hudson staggers back and then turns back and Syren manages to springboard up, landing on one foot before pushing off and grabbing Hudson’s head and hitting a DDT. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Just like that! Big DDT!”

Syren rolls over and gets up and walks into the ropes. She bounces off and walks over to Hudson and hits the Blonde Satisfaction. The crowd cheers. Hudson rolls over and Syren then jumps up and hits an elbow drop to Hudson’s back. She gets up and runs into the ropes as best as she can and bounces off and jumps up and hits a senton backsplash to Hudson’s back. Hudson winces and rolls over, holding his back in pain. Syren then turns and grabs the legs and tries to turn Hudson over with the Boston crab. The crowd roars a bit as Hudson blocks. Syren keeps turning, trying to get Hudson over, but Hudson turns and twists his legs, causing Syren to spin out and slam to the mat. She rolls over to the corner and starts to get up. Hudson then gets up and runs at Syren and Syren dives out of the way as Hudson goes shoulder first into the ringpost. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Hudson missed! Right into the ringpost. Shoulder first!”

Knots: “Oh God! That’s a huge target for Syren!”

Sharper: “Perhaps a big mistake for Josh Hudson!”

Syren looks over as Hudson then slowly starts to pull himself up. He holds his shoulder before turning around and Syren then runs at him and jumps up and spins through and into the Six Second of Magic armbar. The crowd roars as Hudson yells out and falls to a knee. Syren keeps pulling back on the arm, trying to hyperextend it. Hudson winces and grits his teeth. Syren ends up on the mat on her shoulders as she keeps the hold on. Hudson is checked on by the official before he then pushes up and lifts Syren up but Syren flips through and into a sunset flip. She rolls back immediately as Hudson rolls over. He starts to get up and Syren kicks him in the ribs and hits an armbreaker DDT. Hudson pops up and rolls over, holding his shoulder. Syren then goes over and grabs his arm. Hudson tries to hold on, but Syren stomps him in the face and then again before getting the arm. She then drops down and manages to lock in a cross armbreaker. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren with the armbar now! She’s going right for the arm!”

Knots: “Hudson will have a way.”

Sharper: “I’m sure he’s trying to figure one out. He has to do it and Syren has the hold locked in fully.”

Hudson turns as Syren tries to keep him down with her legs. Hudson grimaces and reaches out, trying to grab at the hands of Syren as the referee looks on.

Sharper: “This is the added benefit in this match. You’ll see holds locked fully and no need to worry about shoulders being down. No pins! And so Hudson has to work twice as hard to get out of it.”

Knots: “Come on Josh! You want to take Syren out! You need to fight through!”

Sharper: “And Syren isn’t going to let him if she can say anything about it!”

Hudson keeps trying to get some leverage and then grabs his own arm before wincing a bit and lifting her up. He then slams her down. The crowd ohs. Syren however keeps the hold on. The crowd roars and then Hudson lifts Syren up again and slams her down again. Syren lets go. Hudson falls over as Syren is down. The crowd boos as both remain down for a moment. Syren slowly rolls over. Hudson shakes out his arm as he rolls over. Syren then starts to get up. Hudson gets up and Syren runs at him and jumps up and seemingly goes for a hurricanrana, but Hudson blocks it and then turns and runs her at the corner and throws her hard with a turnbuckle powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Syren falls over to her hands and knees before falling to the mat. Hudson shakes out his arm still and winces a bit before grabbing Syren and pulling her up. He then hooks her up and hits a release German suplex and the crowd ohs as Syren lands on her head and neck.

Sharper: “Oh my God! German suplex and Hudson dropped her on her head!”

Knots: “And she’s got a history of neck issues too!”

Sharper: “Hudson no doubt knows about that. And I think he’s going to his backup plan. He didn’t hesitate at all.”

Syren slowly pulls herself up and Hudson walks over and elbows her in the back of the head. He then pulls her back by the hair and then pulls his arm up and locks in a half nelson before locking in the full nelson. He pulls her head forward as the crowd boos. Syren struggles a bit as Hudson keeps pulling her down. He then starts to try and shake her around for added leverage. The referee goes to check her. Hudson then waves him off before then hoisting her up and just hitting a hard full nelson slam. The crowd ohs and Hudson then shakes out his arm. He winces as he walks around.

Sharper: “Hard full nelson slam and I wonder if that was the design or Hudson realized his arm may not hold up.”

Knots: “Who cares? It hurt the hell out of Syren!”

Sharper: “That’s true and Syren in a world of hurt now. Both are. But Syren may be worse for wear…”

Hudson then thinks a minute before walking over and to Syren. He goes for her legs and Syren suddenly grabs her feet up and grabs his arm and tries to lock in the Malibu on Tap. The crowd roars as Syren keeps trying for it. Hudson struggles as Syren grabs Hudson’s bad arm to do it. Hudson then reaches under Syren and as Syren keeps trying. Hudson lifts her up. The crowd roars and Hudson manages to turn her onto his shoulders before turning with a death valley driver into his knee. Syren rolls over, holding the back of her head and neck in pain. Hudson then dives down onto her and locks in the Lost Reality. The crowd roars as Syren yells out in pain.

Sharper: “The pressure on her neck, on her arm. Hudson’s arm may not have much to it, but the sound of Syren screaming in pain says he’s got it in!”

Knots: “And he just needs to hold on long enough!”

Sharper: “The Lost Reality locked in fully!”

Hudson continues to pull back as Syren looks out as the referee checks on her. Syren doesn’t respond, just trying to focus on blocking out the pain as Hudson keeps pulling back. He grits his teeth as Syren bridges up. She tries to turn a bit but Hudson keeps pulling back. Syren then gets her leg under her. She can be seen to be in a lot of pain before pushing off and rolling through and Hudson loses his grip. He rolls over and gets up and Syren slowly gets up only for Hudson to scoop her up and hit a backbreaker. Syren rolls over. Hudson then winces as he falls to his knees. He takes a moment before getting up. Syren rolls to the ropes. She grabs at them. Hudson then walks over to her and grabs her and knees her in the ribs. Syren falls over. Hudson then spins her around and hooks her up again for a German suplex. He then throws her back, but Syren backflips through. The crowd roars. Syren falls to a knee before getting up as Hudson turns around and Syren jumps up and hits the Total Makeover. Cheers come from the crowd.

Sharper: “Total Makeover! Syren…it’s not a submission, but it’s a big move to turn this back into her favour!”

Knots: “And out of nowhere!”

Sharper: “Even with the bad knee. Fighting through the pain here.”

Syren then looks at Hudson as he’s down on the mat and crawls over to the corner before exiting to the apron. The crowd roars as Syren climbs up to the top rope. She looks over at Hudson as he’s down on his stomach and Syren dives off and hits a frog splash. Hudson grimaces, holding his back. He then rolls over to his back. Syren turns and goes over to his legs. The crowd cheers as Syren then steps through. She then manages to turn him over and locks in a sharpshooter! The crowd cheers. Syren leans back, gritting her teeth as her back and leg bother her, but she tries to keep the hold on.

Sharper: “Sharpshooter by Syren!”

Knots: “Even with the bad knee. The bad back. I don’t believe it!”

Sharper: “Syren trying to block out her own pain to get Hudson to tap out!”

She keeps the hold on as Hudson winces and the referee checks on him. Hudson shakes his head no as he starts to push up on his forearms. He yells out as he winces again, obviously his arm bothering him. He then keeps trying to fight as Syren tries to keep the hold on. The crowd chants “TAP! TAP! TAP!” but as they manage to get the crowd behind them, Hudson powers out and Syren flips forward as Hudson extends his legs. Syren rolls over and grabs at the ropes. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Hudson just powering out. My God!”

Knots: “His legs may be fine. Syren tried to go after them earlier, but they have enough to get out of it!”

Hudson crawls to the ropes. He then starts to get up and Syren looks at him and takes a moment before limping a bit and then running over and jumping up and hitting the Syren’s Call. Hudson hits the mat. Syren then looks around before turning and exiting to the apron. She starts to get up as the crowd cheers. She climbs up to the top rope. She then looks over and then steadies herself, but Hudson manages to turn and then get up, bolting up to his feet and climbing up to the top rope before grabbing Syren and hitting a top rope belly to belly superplex. The crowd ohs and Syren rolls over to her stomach, right by the ropes on the other side of the ring. Hudson rolls over and looks at her as the crowd looks on.

Sharper: “Across the ring! Syren launched!”

Knots: “And to her back again. Just continuing to punish her.”

Sharper: “Hudson’s not going to Syren though.”

Syren winces as Hudson exits to the apron and drops down to the floor. He looks under the ring as the crowd boos some and Hudson then looks under the ring and grabs a steel chair. He turns and slides it into the ring. Hudson rolls in after and Hudson starts to get up.

Sharper: “Oh come on! The steel chair! We’ve seen Hudson use this before against Syren too!”

Knots: “Time to make sure this ends.’

Sharper: “And it’s all legal!”

Hudson grabs the steel chair. He then watches as Syren starts to get up and Hudson just smirks before lifting the chair up and slamming it into Syren’s back. The crowd boos as Syren just crumples to the mat. Hudson then looks at her before looking at the chair and smiling as he unfolds it. He places it in the middle of the ring. Hudson then looks at Syren before turning back and grabbing Syren. He then places her head between his legs. He looks at the chair. Just then, we see someone in all black walking up the steel steps and entering into the ring. Hudson then turns and sees the man as Aaron Demitra even looks stunned. Several fans in the front row and jumping up and down, before the man lunges and nails Josh Hudson with a superkick. The crowd ohs and Hudson hits the mat. Syren ends up on her knees. She turns as we get a clear shot of the man, CHBK with a thick grey beard. The crowd roars, cheering as they see him on the big screen.

Knots: “What?! I thought he wasn’t in SCW anymore. I thought he was done!”

Sharper: “My God! CHBK just coming into the ring and hitting the Bittersweet Ending on Josh Hudson! I don’t believe it!”

Knots: “But…I thought he was with Mikaela Street….and they’re with Hudson?!”

Sharper: “I…I don’t know but he just knocked Hudson out!”

Syren turns to CHBK as CHBK then motions to her to get the job done. CHBK backs up sa Syren then turns to the steel chair before turning and looking at Hudson who is on his stomach from the impact and Syren places the chair around Hudson’s arm and then uses the chair for added leverage and pulls back. CHBK just looks on, still in the ring. Hudson seemingly comes to from the pain of the hold as Syren keep pulling back on the arm, using the chair as a vise.

Sharper: “She’s using the chair! Using it for extra leverage! Look at Hudson’s arm!”

Knots: “It’s not supposed to bend that way!”

Sharper: “Like an armbar, but with the added pressure of the chair!”

The crowd roars as the referee checks on Hudson. Hudson yells out as Syren keeps pulling back. Hudson then nods and taps on his arm as Demitra turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds. The crowd roars and cheers as Syren holds on for a moment and keeps the hold on. Hudson yells out and CHBK just keeps watching before Demitra comes in and tries to pull her off. Syren then lets go and looks at Hudson and steps away from him. Hudson rolls over, holding his arm in pain, sliding it out of the chair.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Syren!”

The crowd cheers as “Groupie” starts to play.

Sharper: “Syren making Josh Hudson tap out. Hudson was going to use that chair for horrible things, but CHBK of all people….CHBK!”

Knots: “We’ve seen him since Retribution last year, but we assumed he was done in the ring and he’s standing with Syren?!”

Syren walks over to CHBK and CHBK looks at her and says something to her before he steps forward and raises her arm. CHBK then points to her as the crowd cheers. CHBK looks at the crowd as does Syren who just looks relieved more than anything.

Sharper: “And CHBK now raising Syren’s arm up in victory. Syren has turned back Josh Hudson and made him submit at Rise to Greatness!”

Syren looks around as her music continues to play. The referee continues to check on Hudson as CHBK turns and holds Syren’s arm up, walking to the other side of the ring. Syren then steps back and looks around as CHBK eyes Hudson for a moment. He just shakes his head before backing up and turning to Syren. He holds the ropes open for Syren as she steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. CHBK steps through after. They start to head to the back as the crowd looks on and the scene cuts away.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Spirit Dansby backstage just by the tunnel to start to head to the ring.

Spirit: “Ladies and gentlemen, Spirit Dansby here. Please welcome at this time, Blake Mason.”

The crowd boos as Blake Mason walks over to her. She turns to him.

Spirit: “Blake, in a few moments, you will face Shaun Cruze, who despite his actions, as disturbing as they were, he actually deserves some revenge against you-“

Blake: “Too bad it won’t happen. Look, I’ve said my piece on that. It’s over. I’ve moved on. Shaun Cruze is just looking for something to turn attention from the fact that he is a despicable human being. And now with Taylor Chase as the special referee, someone with more integrity that anyone else I could know, except Bree of course…someone who also deserves revenge more than anyone else…I think Shaun Cruze is going to have a long night. And while Taylor can’t compete, I shall be her champion. Sure…I crossed lines, but let’s face it…they pale in comparison to what Shaun Cruze did to Taylor…and tonight, Taylor, please know that I will fight to make sure that son of a bitch gets everything he deserves.”

Blake then looks up as we see Taylor Chase walking over to the tunnel in her referee’s shirt. She stops a bit and just looks at Blake.

Blake: “Taylor…are you ready?”

Taylor just scoffs.

Taylor: “Blake…the fact that you just spewed what I heard you did…it shows that you’re just as bad as he is. See you in the ring. And don’t worry. I don’t need some champion to accomplish what I’m setting out to do tonight.”

Taylor then turns and heads down the tunnel. The crowd cheers as Blake looks at her, a bit of a scowl forming on his face as we cut back to the ring.

We cut to the ring to see Jason Phillips standing in the middle of the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is the special challenge match with a special guest referee. Please welcome at this time, the special guest referee, Taylor Chase!”

“Boss’s Daughter” by Pop Evil plays as the crowd roars. A few moments pass as we then see Taylor Chase walking out in tights and a referee’s shirt. She looks around the arena and rubs her hands together as she takes a few more steps. Her nameplate comes up before she starts to walk down the rampway to the ring. She makes her way down the long corridor as the crowd continues to cheer her. Taylor Chase smiles as she looks around and then reaches the ring.

Sharper: “Taylor Chase getting this opportunity from Mr. D who is giving her a chance to unleash her own brand of justice. She will have all of the power to call this match as she sees fit.”

Knots: “All of the reason for revenge. Do we need to go over it? Shaun Cruze, showing how much of a immortal son of a bitch he is, choked her while she was pregnant.”

Sharper: “And Cruze has tried to make amends. Some frustration on his end. Blake Mason, however, has been unapologetic about injuring Owen Cruze, Shaun’s nephew, Taylor’s stepson. He took over Orlando Cruze’s old twitter account and used it to humiliate Taylor and Shaun and many others. Taylor has not love lost for either.”

Knots: “And she’s going to determine who wins.”

Sharper: “She has this referee’s opportunity partially because she is cleared to compete. Her and Mr. D came up with this as a middleground. It lets Taylor some measure of revenge, but coming off her pregnancy, she needs more time until she’s cleared.”

Taylor Chase goes over to the steel steps. She walks up them and enters into the ring. She looks around as the crowd cheers her. Taylor Chase stands in the middle of the ring and walks around the ring before turning and looking at the entrance way. She briefly says something to Jason Phillips as she continues to walk around the ring.

“When Money Comes, When Money Comes”

The crowd boos as the lights dim and the cameras cut to the entrance way as “G.O.A.T.” by CFO$ featuring Will Roush plays. A few moments pass before we see a spotlight shine down onto the stage as Blake Mason walks out from the back, wearing a bejewelled robe with added feathers and a boa around it as well. He just smiles as he slowly spins around. Pyro shoots out from the front of the stage and high into the air on both sides. The boos continue as the nameplate comes up as Blake Mason looks down at the ring.

Phillips: “First, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

The crowd boos as Blake Mason walks down the rampway to the ring. Taylor Chase looks at him, her smile no longer on her face. Blake Mason just makes the long walk before reaching the ring. He walks up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron and enters into the ring. He then walks forward and over to Taylor who just walks away from him and over to the corner. Mason turns away and undoes his robe. He points to himself in the ring, walking forward and yelling at the crowd. The crowd boos him as he then backs up and takes his robe off. He then turns and walks over to the ropes and places it over the top rope and hands it to a ring crew member. He then walks along the ropes as Taylor keeps her eyes on him.

Sharper: “Taylor Chase having none of Blake and Blake even at one point trying to butter Taylor up. Inviting her to the BREE-Show. She wasn’t there as we saw.”

Knots: “Blake I think sees himself as the lesser of two evils with Taylor. He can help Taylor get revenge here.”

Sharper: “Except Blake Mason also knows…this isn’t going to be pretty and Taylor Chase is not going to work with someone with his values either.”

Soothing guitar rifts are heard over the arena PA system, as Shawn James 'Through the Valley' is played

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell on this earth forevermore.
I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul,
but I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong.

Pyro shoots out of the stage and high into the air. “Face Everything and Rise” by Papa Roach starts to play. The crowd boos as a few moments pass. Shaun Cruze then walks out from the back as the boos grow. Angyalka Cruze walks behind and stands with Shaun. Shaun looks down and takes a few moments before then looking up and turning to his left and his right, scanning the University of Phoenix Stadium crowd. Angyalka supports him as the boos come from all over. His nameplate then comes up.

Phillips: “His opponent, accompanied by Angyalka Cruze, from Newquay, England, he is the Impact Player, Shaun Cruze!”

Shaun Cruze then starts to make his way to the ring. Angyalka Cruze follows him down before Shaun looks back and Angyalka nods. Shaun then turns and runs down the rampway and to the ring. He makes his way down and slides in. He then gets up as Taylor and Blake both watch him, disdain in their faces. Shaun looks at both before turning and walking over to the corner and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and looks around the stadium. The crowd boos. Angyalka Cruze makes her way down to the ring. He turns walks over to the ropes and steps up and looks around, holding his arm up.

Sharper: “Shaun Cruze ready to go. Blake Mason looks ready. A year ago, they were facing about opportunity. A challenge. Now…it’s personal. It’s violent. Both men have destroyed their reputations.”

Knots: “And Taylor Chase is in the middle of it.”

Sharper: “Angyalka coming to ringside now…and wait a minute.”

Taylor walks over to the ropes and points to Angyalka and tells her to leave. Shaun just looks at Taylor and shakes his head before turning to Angyalka. Angyalka looks at her, confused as to why.

Taylor: “You’re with him…nothing says he’s above using you to get something over Blake! He’s going to fight like a man….something new for him!”

Shaun turns away, hearing that. Angyalka just looks at Shaun before Shaun turns and just nods at Angyalka. Angyalka sighs and turns and starts to walk to the back. The crowd boos a bit, while some cheer. Taylor then turns to Shaun glaring at him before turning to Blake.

Sharper: “Angyalka Cruze being sent to the back.”

Knots: “You heard her. Doesn’t want Angyalka getting involved!”

Sharper: “I don’t think she would, but I can understand Taylor’s concern. Just think, a year ago, she was at ringside with that beautiful dress. Dressed to the nines. A night of celebration for her, for Shaun, for Blake. Not anymore. A lot can change in a year.”

Knots: “And Shaun may be hurting more now! Look!”

Sharper: “And Blake!”

Shaun turns and watches Angyalka walking off as Blake runs across the ring and nails him in the back of the head with a clubbing blow. Shaun falls over to the corner. Taylor just looks at Blake before turning and calling for the bell to start the match. The bell sounds as Blake nails Shaun with a hard right to the jaw. He nails him again before Shaun falls back. Taylor doesn’t bother with a count as Blake nails Shaun with another shot and another and another. Shaun falls to a knee in the corner. Blake then leans in and starts to choke him. The crowd boos a bit as Shaun struggles.

Sharper: “Blake just choking Cruze. This could be a quick one if Taylor doesn’t stop it.”

Knots: “Just watching it for now. She may even be enjoying that.”

Blake keeps pushing back as Taylor watches a moment before then turning and going over and pulling him back. Blake backs up.

Blake: “What? Don’t you want this? Come on! I’ll take him out right now.”

Taylor doesn’t respond as Blake turns back and grabs Shaun. He pulls him out and then whips him across the ring. Cruze hits the opposite corner as Blake runs after and Cruze gets his elbow up. Blake stumbles back and Cruze runs forward and grabs him and just throws him back with a hard mat slam. Blake rolls over and starts to get up and Cruze turns and walks over to him and nails him in the back of the head. The mixed reaction from the crowd says it all as Cruze nails Blake in the back of the head again. Boos start to drown out the cheers as Blake falls to the ropes. Cruze then leans on him and starts to choke him, pushing him down on the ropes.

Sharper: “Cruze has Blake now in the ropes and now is choking him!”

Knots: “Probably thinking about what Blake did to Owen, did to Orlando! Or what Shaun did to Taylor!”

Sharper: “A mistake that Cruze has to live with and look at Taylor, now counting. Maybe realizing she should’ve done that earlier with Blake. I don’t know. She’s a great wrestler. A bit different being the referee.”

Taylor counts.

Shaun pulls off and looks at Taylor. Taylor backs up. Shaun just looks down, clearly realizing that his sudden turn harkened back to the infamous video where Shaun put his hands on Taylor. Taylor watches Shaun as Shaun just puts his hands up, and apologizes, the camera seeing him say sorry, before turning back and Mason hits a mule kick. The crowd ohs and Shaun falls over and down to the mat. Taylor smiles a bit.

Sharper: “Cruze even saying sorry there. Obviously realizing that it may have been a bit much for him to turn like that, recognizing the official.”

Knots: “Taylor probably thought, and rightfully so, he’d go after her!”

Sharper: “He just apologized Jon. I’m not defending the action that Shaun did. It was one horrible mistake.”

Knots: “Yeah, a mistake that he then blamed Taylor for!”

Sharper: “I can’t defend that. That was a stupid thing to say.”

Knots: “He’s just showing his true colours!”

Sharper: “Well Blake’s been showing his for a long time and now going after Shaun Cruze!”

Cruze starts to get up and Blake nails him in the back of the head. Cruze falls to the ropes. Blake then grabs him and just dumps him through the ropes and Cruze falls to the floor. Blake drops down and rolls to the floor too. He grabs Cruze and pulls him up. Taylor watches for a moment as Blake drives Cruze into the ring apron. Cruze staggers back to the Spanish announce table. Blake grabs him and drives him face first into that. Cruze pops up and Blake nails him with a hard right. Taylor looks on from the ring as Blake then grabs Cruze and turns and spins him over into the barricade. Taylor then steps through the ropes to the floor.

Sharper: “Blake throwing Cruze into anything he can think of.”

Knots: “Beat his ass!”

Sharper: “Taylor Chase coming to the floor too. She’s not counting them out. No shock there.”

Knots: “Why give Cruze the easy way out!”

Sharper: “Or Blake!”

Taylor then turns and looks under the ring. Blake nails Cruze with a hard right and then another and another. The crowd then roars with cheers as Taylor pulls out a steel chair. She throws it into the ring. She then grabs another chair and slides it in. She looks around before then grabbing a third chair and throwing it in. Blake looks back. He then notices the chair. Taylor then rolls into the ring.

Sharper: “Taylor Chase throwing some chairs into the ring!”

Knots: “Now we’re talking. She wants them to punish each other!”

Sharper: “This crowd roaring. She wants a fight and Blake Mason just now noticed the chairs!”

Blake then turns and grabs Cruze and drags him away from the barricade and then spins him around and into the ring. Cruze rolls over. The crowd roars as a “Taylor!” chant begins to break out.

Sharper: “The referee is getting chants here in Phoenix!”

Knots: “Yeah! She’s turned this into an underground match!”

Blake rolls in after and Cruze starts to get up and Blake walks over as Taylor looks at him and points to the chairs. Taylor just walks away as Blake shrugs and grabs one of the chairs. Cruze starts to get up and Blake turns and nails him in the ribs with the chair. Cruze staggers over to the ropes. Blake then turns and swings the chair, aiming for Cruze’s head, but Cruze moves out of the way. Blake hits the ropes. Blake stops it from hitting himself. He then turns and swings again and goes to nail Cruze, but Cruze moves out of the way. He rolls through and grabs one of the other chairs. He turns and Blake turns and swings and Cruze blocks it with his chair. He then swings his at Blake as they both swing, hitting the chairs over and over before Cruze goes a bit lower and hits Blake’s hands. Blake turns and drops the chair and turns around. Just then, Taylor Chase grabs the third chair and lifts it up and turns and nails Blake hard in the back with the chair. The crowd ohs as the crowd cheers. Blake falls to the ropes down and down to the apron. Cruze looks at bit confused as Taylor turns and nails him right in the head with the chair. Cruze manages to get his arm up in time as Taylor hits him in it. Cruze hits the mat and then rolls over, holding his elbow as the crowd roars. Taylor then walks around the ring.

Knots: “Hot damn! Chairs for everyone!”

Sharper: “Taylor hits Blake and then turns and hits Shaun Cruze. She was going for the head! A fine may be coming for her. Those are not allowed in SCW-“

Knots: “But she’s the referee!”

Sharper: “Doesn’t matter. But Cruze got his arm up and I think he’s cut.”

We see Cruze’s as he turns, a gash opening up on his forearm from the chair. Taylor just walks around the ring as Cruze slowly rolls over. He looks up at Taylor as Taylor just locks eyes with him.

Taylor: “Welcome to my world now!”

Cruze looks at Taylor as the crowd cheers Taylor and just then, Blake turns and runs at Cruze and nails him from behind with a running forearm to the side of the head. Cruze falls over into the ropes. Blake then holds his back, wincing before stomping him in the ribs and then again and again.

Sharper: “Blake coming in! Cruze realizing what this is going to be like. Taylor Chase is going to take some shots for sure.”

Knots: “And I don’t know if Blake thinks it was Cruze attacking him with the chair. He has his back to Taylor! No response to Taylor for it!”

Sharper: “I think you’re right Jon. I think Blake assumes Cruze did it, not Taylor! And so he’s right focused on Cruze!”

Cruze covers up and Blake then stomps him in the face. Cruze rolls over to the apron. Blake then steps through to the apron and looks at Cruze before jumping up and driving his elbow into the face of Cruze. Cruze falls over and drops down to the floor. Blake then looks around before turning and going over to the timekeeper. Taylor meanwhile ignores anything that’s happening there and drops down to the floor on the opposite side of the ring. Mason grabs the ringbell and pulls it out before seeing Cruze starting to get up and he lifts it up and slams it down into the back of Cruze. Cruze falls to the mats. The crowd ohs and some boo, while some cheer. Mason then drops down to a knee and looks around for Taylor before looking a bit confused, unable to find her before driving the side of the bell into Cruze’s head. He digs it in, starting to scrape at Cruze’s forehead as the crowd roars. We cut to see Taylor looking under the ring before turning and walking around the ring to another side and looking under, almost scanning for items. We cut back to Mason as Mason continues to dig into Cruze’s head.

Sharper: “Mason digging the ringbell into the flesh, the skull of Cruze!”

Knots: “Opening him up!”

Sharper: “Mason doing the damage, while Taylor, she’s looking for items.”

Knots: “Taking inventory it seems.”

He then rips it away and Cruze falls over as we see blood coming down his face as Mason has certainly cut him open. Mason then drops down and stands over Cruze and digs it into Cruze’s head again as the crowd roars some more. Cruze yells out and Mason pulls it away .Cruze falls over as Mason throws the ring bell down. Mason then looks around, now seeing Taylor as she walks up the steels steps behind him. Mason then rolls Cruze into the ring. Cruze rolls over, blood dripping down onto the mat before he rolls to his back. Mason slides in and gets up and sizes him up before hitting a jumping knee drop. He rolls through. He then turns and goes for the pin. Taylor looks at him and just leans back in the corner. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Taylor! That’s a pin!”

Sharper: “I don’t think she’s seen enough! She’s in charge in this one! She said she would make sure it ends when she’s ready for it to end!”

Mason looks at Taylor and slaps the mat. Taylor shakes her head and walks away. Mason then gets up walks over to her. Taylor turns to him as Mason yells at her. Taylor points to the SCW symbol on her shirt before Mason just backs up and looks around before motioning for her to count. Taylor just shakes her head no and the crowd roars as Cruze looks back, pulling one chair over to another. He then turns and grabs Mason and hooks him up by the belt. The crowd roars and Cruze hits a German suplex, sending Mason into the two chairs he just piled up. Mason rolls over, holding his head and neck in pain as Cruze lies on the mat for a moment.

Sharper: “Mason gets German suplexed into the chairs. Cruze seeing an opening and taking it.”

Knots: “Both Mason and Cruze finding out that Taylor Chase is going to make up the rules as she goes and why the hell not?”

Cruze rolls over. He turns and starts to get up and Mason rolls over and pulls himself up in the corner, holding his head and neck. Cruze runs over and shoulders in the ribs. She shoulders him again and again. He then pulls Mason out. He then lifts him up and hits a release northern lights suplex into the chairs. Mason rolls over in pain. He then rolls over and goes to the ropes, quickly pulling himself out of the ring. Cruze turns and rolls over to floor. He walks around the steel steps and then walks over to Mason and Mason gets up and throws hard right, but Cruze blocks it. He then kicks him in the ribs and turns and whips him hard into the steel steps .Mason knocks them over and falls over. Cruze then looks around as Taylor looks on. Cruze turns and grabs Mason and pulls him up and spins him around and turns and throws him into the ringpost. Mason spins off and rolls over. Cruze then steps up onto the bottom half of the steps. Mason slowly gets up, his face cut in, over his left eye.

Sharper: “And Mason is lacerated now! Going to need some plastic surgery for that cut!”

Knots: “Both are just bloodied now and it’s just getting going!”

Mason looks up and turns as Cruze grabs the top half of the steel steps. He then lifts them up and winces a bit before turning and running at Mason and nailing him in the face with the steps. Mason falls over and down to the mats. Cruze then looks around before lifting the steps up and turning and throwing them into the ring. They don’t quite get over. Cruze holds them up and pushes them over. Just then he turns and Taylor Cruze throws a chair at him, right in the face. Cruze falls over and down to the floor as the crowd roars again. Taylor just smirks as the camera cuts to her.

Sharper: “Cruze nails Mason and Taylor Chase has seen enough of Cruze in control and my God, from the ring….that chair!”

Knots: “If there are fines, she doesn’t care. Look at that smirk. She knew exactly what she was doing!”

Sharper: “She’s taken shots at both, but Cruze has gotten a bit more. Taylor Chase stopping Cruze’s momentum with that one. She’s not going to let him get out of this easily.”

Taylor then looks around before seeing the steel steps. She moves them over away from the ropes. She walks over to the ropes and sees Mason crawling to the ring and looking underneath. He then grabs something as Taylor backs up and Cruze grabs at the Spanish table and pulls himself up. Mason meanwhile has something in his hand and wraps it around his fist before turning and nailing Cruze with a hard right. We then see Mason having a chain on his hand and Mason falls onto the English table, blood dripping all over it. Cruze slowly gets up and Mason walks over and unwraps the chain. He then pulls it around the throat of Cruze. He pulls back and Taylor looks on as Cruze struggles to breath and Mason keeps pulling back.

Sharper: “Mason now choking Cruze with that chain he found!”

Knots: “After giving him another knot. How apropos would it be if Cruze lost to a choke! If Taylor’s making up the rules…could be!”

Sharper: “You’re right. She’s watching!”

Mason keeps pulling back as he gets to the bottom half of the steps. He then turns and tries to pull back to have Cruze over his shoulder, back to back, adding leverage. Cruze however grabs at the ringpost and then to the ropes. Mason keeps trying and Cruze then grabs Mason by the head and pulls him back and Mason rolls through. He then gets up and Cruze nails him with a superkick. The crowd ohs. Mason falls to the floor. Cruze then coughs and looks around. Taylor paces a bit as Cruze turns around and grabs the ring bell. He then looks at Taylor as Taylor glares at him. Mason then starts to get up and Cruze runs at him and nails him in the ribs with the ring bell. Mason falls over. Cruze then places the ring bell on the ring apron. Cruze grabs Mason and pulls him up and rolls him into the ring. Cruze then rolls in and crawls over to Mason. Taylor just looks at him and shakes his head no. Cruze just looks down before shrugging and nailing Mason in the jaw and then again and again and again. Cruze then gets up as Mason rolls over. Cruze turns and grabs one of the chairs in the ring. He lifts it up and Mason starts to get up and Cruze turns and nails him in the ribs with it. He then unfolds it. He grabs Mason and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Cruze lifts him up and hits a flapjack into the seat of the chair. Mason rolls over, more blood coming down his face.

Sharper: “Cruze not going for the pin. Taylor making it clear she wasn’t even going to count.”

Knots: “They’ve figured out this is her playground with her rules, but Blake’s face into the seat of that chair!”

Sharper: “Mason is being maimed in this one. Cruze is a bloody mess and this crowd is still cheering for Taylor Cruze who is letting them destroy each other and she’s happy to let it happen when both deserve it in her eyes!”

Knots: “All while right now Cruze is getting his revenge on Mason!”

Cruze gets up and Mason rolls over. He grabs at the ropes and Cruze grabs him and clubs him in the back and then again and again. He then pulls him up and goes for a sidewalk slam. He then pulls him over to the chair, but Mason gets free and gets to his feet. He clubs him in the back and then again before lifting Cruze up and hitting a back suplex through the chair. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Through the chair! My God! Cruze is broken in half!”

Knots: “Good!”

Sharper: “Mason may have just done what Taylor would like to end this!”

Mason rolls over and Cruze grimaces in pain. Mason then goes for the pin. Taylor drops down to her knees.

She then stops and gets up before smiling at Mason. She says no. The crowd cheers. Mason looks up and gets up.

Mason: “You want more? You want me to do more to him?”

Taylor just ignores him and Mason then turns to Cruze.

Mason: “Fine!”

Mason grabs Cruze and pulls him up before kneeing him in the chest and then again and again. He then pulls him in and steps up onto the steel steps. Mason then pulls Cruze around before placing his head between his legs. The crowd roars. Mason then looks at Taylor.

Mason: “Maybe this will be good enough!”

Sharper: “Mason! He’s going for the Piledriver!”

Knots: “He is!”

Mason goes to lift Cruze up. Cruze blocks it. The crowd ohs. Mason then clubs him in the back and then again. He pulls him back up. He then lifts him up and Cruze blocks it again. He then tries yet again, but Taylor nails him in the back with one of the chair again. Blake winces and turns, this time seeing Taylor who just smiles before immediately returning to a stern face as Cruze back drops Blake over. The crowd roars. Cruze falls to the steel steps and then turns around. Mason rolls over and gets up and Cruze jumps to the middle rope and dives back, nailing Mason with the CKO. The crowd ohs as Mason hits the mat. Cruze then looks at Taylor. Cruze drops down for the pin. Taylor counts.

Taylor then stops and shakes her finger before her head. Cruze looks at her as Taylor gets up. Cruze then turns back to Blake.

Cruze: “Fine by me.”

Cruze then knees Blake in the side and then again and again.

Sharper: “Cruze has no problem continuing to fight Blake. Remember why he’s competing in this. He wants to get his hands on Blake.”

Knots: “What’s left of him? Both are a bloody mess. Both are bruised!”

Cruze winces as he then grabs Blake and starts to pull him up. He then turns and whips him into the corer. Cruze walks over and grabs him. He then nails him with a forearm and then another. Cruze pulls him back and goes to lift him up, but Cruze winces, holding his back. Cruze then goes again, but Blake blocks it and knees him in the ribs. He then hoists him up and places him on the top rope before hitting a snap rope-hung DDT onto the steel steps. Cruze hits the mat and rolls over. Mason turns and goes for the pin. Taylor counts.

Cruze shoots his shoulder up. The crowd ohs and Mason looks up. The crowd gives a very mixed reaction. Taylor just smirks as Blake gets up and grabs Cruze. He turns to Taylor.

Mason: “Now it’s good enough?”

Taylor doesn’t respond before Mason then kicks Cruze in the ribs. He then hoists him up onto his shoulders. He then looks at Taylor before looking around and walking over to the steel steps. Cruze however elbows him in the side of the head. He elbows him again. He then slides down. Mason turns around and Cruze scoops him up and slams him down with the C5 on the steel steps. Mason just rolls over, his eyes glazed over. Cruze then rolls down onto him, holding his back and just lies on Mason. Taylor then drops down.

The crowd roars and Taylor gets up. She dusts her hands off as Cruze rolls off.

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

Sharper: “I am stunned by that!”

Knots: “Taylor I think decided she had seen enough! Had caused some of this destruction and bloodshed and Blake and Cruze had just broken each other.”

Sharper: “Broken and battered. Both clearly hurt from all of those weapons, those hard shots, but I’m stunned that Taylor actually counted the fall for Shaun Cruze!”

Knots: “She even stopped the piledriver earlier…and look…she’s going to actually raise Cruze’s hand.”

Cruze slowly stirs as Taylor then looks at him and grabs his arm. Cruze looks at her and pulls away a bit, clearly not trusting her. Taylor just holds her hand up and raises his arm. She points to him as the crowd boos. Cruze keeps watching Taylor as Taylor points to him for a moment before then turning and kicking him right in the ribs. The crowd roars as Taylor turns and runs into the ropes, bounces off and jumps up, nailing Shaun Cruze with the TKO! The crowd cheers.

Knots: “There we go!”

Sharper: “Taylor pulling Cruze up to drop him with the TKO! Now it makes some sense. She wanted the final blow on Shaun Cruze. She wasn’t cleared to compete, but nothing stops her from trying to cave in Shaun’s chest with that knee!”

Knots: “A hell of a spoil of victory. And Taylor Chase, when she is cleared, will have much more planned for Shaun Cruze!”

Sharper: “No doubt about it, but getting her own Rise to Greatness moment here!”

Cruze is down as Mason rolls over and falls to the ropes. Taylor just looks at Mason before turning and backing up to the ropes. She exits to the floor. “Boss’ Daughter” then starts to play as the crowd cheers again. Taylor starts to walk around the ring and over to the entrance way before starting make her way to the back. She raises her arms as the crowd cheers as Mason holds his head and neck as Cruze remains down in the middle of the ring.

“Go To War” starts to play as the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor before showing a shot of Sienna Swann before showing both with the SCW Women’s and Television Championship.

Sharper: “From what was a fight, to what could be a very different kind of fight. Two titles on the line. Women’s and Television Championships will both be up for grabs. Ravyn Taylor and Sienna Swann do not like each other and it’s only gotten more and more intense in the last couple of months.”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

“Most Girls” by Hailee Steinfeld starts to play as we see a shot of Ravyn Taylor standing in the corner, admiring herself. She is then shown throwing glitter in the face of Sienna Swann before showing her wearing Syren’s wrestling attire as she walks to the ring. This is followed by showing her pulling her tights down on the announce table in front of Shawn Winters at Taking Hold of the Flame before watching her laugh and then showing cuts of her kissing Mr. D’s daughter, Katya, as she then smirks, holding the SCW Television Championship.

Some girls feel best in their tiny dresses

Some girls in nothin' but sweatpants, looking like a princess

Some girls kiss new lips every single night

They're staying out late cause they just celebrating life

This changes to shots of Sienna Swann, including several promotional shots of her in a bikini, posing for magazine covers, before showing her walking out from the back, and posing as Laura Steinbeck and her photographers take pictures. We then see her nailing Sienna Swann with the Kiss of an Angel before showing her holding the SCW Women’s and Television Championships. This is followed by showing her standing in the ring with her wings spread wide as she just looks up as golden confetti falls from the ceiling.

You know some days you feel so good in your own skin

But it's okay if you want to change the body that you came in

'Cause you look greatest when you feel like a damn queen

We're all just playing a game in a way, trying to win that life

This is followed by shots of Ravyn Taylor chuckling as Sienna Swann glares at her. We see Sienna Swann in the ring as Ravyn Taylor walks around it at Supreme Saturday. This is followed by showing Ravyn Taylor catching one of the Truelove Twins with handcuffs and then showing Sienna Swann looking at Ravyn as Kelcey Wallace holds the SCW World Championship. This is followed by a shot of Sienna Swann looking at Ravyn as the Truelove Twins hold Ravyn up by the arms and Sienna nails her with the Kiss of an Angel as she then drops to the mat.

Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful

Most girls work hard, go far, we are unstoppable

Most girls, our fight to make every day

No two are the same

I wanna be like, I wanna be like most girls

I wanna be –

The music abruptly cuts as we then see Sienna Swann in the ring, holding the SCW Women’s Championship.

Sienna: “She negotiated a Women’s Championship shot somehow, taking advantage of my manager’s inexperience in the world of wrestling.”

We see Ravyn Taylor smiling as Sienna looks at Laura Steinbeck at ringside.

Sienna: “Well, we have learned from that mistake and if Ravyn has her opportunity at MY Women’s Championship, although rare, this is one moment where a rematch for the Television Championship is more than appropriate.”

We then see Ravyn getting attacked by the Truelove Twins as Laura Steinbeck stands in the entrance way. We see Sienna Swann watching, holding the SCW Women’s Championship.

Sienna: “This company is better served with my holding both titles!”

We see shots of Sienna Swann holding both the SCW Women’s and Television Championships and posing with them, including one with them over her shoulders, while standing on the stage.

Knots: “The most beautiful dual champion in SCW History!”

Sienna: “This company needs to still have a title defense next week anyways. If I was unable to get a week off that frankly would have been more than justified….Ravyn Taylor certainly does not under any circumstance and no justification can make me understand it.”

We then see a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking down at the ring, holding the SCW Television Championship and smiling.

Ravyn: “I figured however I would provide a visual demonstration of my concern to your request. See, I am going to actually borrow a page from Ace Marshall’s proverbial Bible. And while it’s fun to watch Kelcey squirm at every slight or when he doesn’t bow down at the altar of the World Championship, a title we all respect…I am not going to bow down to the altar of Sienna Swann. But that’s fine…since you enjoyed my antics when we last faced…Syren’s attire is a bit large on me. I guess I’m not as ample as she is up there. You really couldn’t talk either. But…”

We then see Mr. D as Ravyn and Sienna look at one another. Sienna rolls her eyes.

Ravyn: “…so I know you’ll appreciate this, but much like I have a Women’s Championship to win at Rise to Greatness…I have a bet to win-“

Just then, we see Mr. D walk out from the back. We see him with a couple of officials and a microphone in his hand.

Mr. D: “No, no….we’re not doing this. Not here. Not ever. I’m done with this. Sienna, we can discuss this backstage. I have some time now-“

Sienna: “I want your decision now in front of the world. You’re a promoter. So is Laura. So am I. This should be an easy decision.”

Ravyn: “Good that you’ve chosen to come out here. I hope that it wasn’t because Ms. Swann offered some sort of service to get your attention as she’s done in the past.”

Sienna just glares at Ravyn as the crowd roars. We then cut to a shot of Mr. D watching the big screen as we see Ravyn Taylor out at a club with Katya. We then see them making out as Ravyn Taylor smiling on the stage. Sienna Swann just shakes her head. We then cut back to see Mr. D looking at Ravyn.

Sienna: “I think this makes the decision much easier. That’s your Television Champion.”

Mr. D turns to Sienna.

Mr. D: “Sienna…shut the hell up. TV Title will be on the line. Something tells me that Ravyn figured that would be the case.”

Mr. D then turns to Ravyn.

Mr. D: “My daughter is not some pawn in your sophomoric games.”

Ravyn just smirks before looking down at Sienna Swann. We then see Sienna Swann turning away before showing Ravyn Taylor and Ace Marshall talking backstage. Ace Marshall leaves before Ravyn Taylor is attacked backstage. We then see the Truelove Twins dragging Ravyn out from the back. Sienna Swann is with them as is Laura Steinbeck, who has a photographer with them.

Sienna: “See, Ravyn, I have a new magazine coming out next month and the theme of my shoot is overcoming people who drag you down. And Ravyn, just like you’ll find out this Sunday, you can cost me two titles, but I will bounce right back and become the most beautiful nightmare you’ll ever see.”

Ravyn laughs a bit. Sienna ignores it.

Sienna: “So while you hope to take away the Women’s Championship…It will be going nowhere and your Television Championship will return to me this Sunday.”

The crowd boos some.

Sienna: “But as with me, we do everything the right way. So….sit still. We need the perfect picture.”

We then see several stills of Ravyn being held as Sienna goes for the knee, holding the pose. We see Ravyn biting Sienna’s knee. This leads to a beatdown before we see Sienna actually nailing Ravyn in the jaw, knocking her back. We see several images taken before we cut to a shot of Sienna looking down at her.

Sharper: “Come on! This is enough!”

Knots: “A bit of turnabout and a great picture. Can’t think of anything better!”

The music goes faster as we see shots of Ravyn hitting the Evolutionary Synthesis on Sienna Swann before showing Swann striking Ravyn with the Kiss of an Angel and then multiple shots of both holding the SCW Television and Women’s Titles as the promo comes to an end.

We cut back to a live shot in Phoenix as we hear the sound of something tapping against glass. We then hear the sound of a woman’s voice in a whisper.

“NEVERMORE…”

“Open Your Eyes” by the Guano Apes starts to play as the crowd roars.

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

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

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

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne starts to play as we see Ravyn Taylor walk out from the back. The SCW Television Championship is around her waist. She has her ring jacket open, and different tights and top, almost with a stitched up effect in certain areas. She looks around the area before then slowly doing a twirl before posing. She smirks a bit as her nameplate comes up. She then starts to make her way to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit, and is for the SCW Television and Women’s Championships! First, on her way to the ring, the reigning and defending SCW Television Champion, from Hell, Michigan, she is the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

The crowd roars as Ravyn Taylor walks down the rampway to the ring. She looks around the stadium as she takes the long walk. She reaches the floor and walks over to the steel steps. She runs up them before stopping on the apron and wiping her feet. She then vaults up and over and lands on her feet. She then walks across the ring and over to the far corner as she steps up to the middle turnbuckle. She slides down her ring jacket and looks down at herself. She then hops down and folds up her ring jacket. She places it in the corner before taking off the SCW Television Championship. She then walks over to the middle of the ring and places the title down in the middle of the ring. She backs up and falls into the corenr before dropping down to the seated position. The official, Jackson Kohl, takes the SCW Television Championship and pulls it up and onto his shoulder.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor coming out with a racier look than usual. Part of that is, I’m sure, a way to get under the skin of Sienna Swann. She’s been doing that for months. We mentioned this started two months ago. Sienna Swann wanting a challenge for her Women’s Title and Ravyn Taylor has not only risen to it, but made an agreement with Mr. D that Laura Steinbeck opened herself to.”

Knots: “Wouldn’t allow Sienna to get out of it and Ravyn Taylor has been horrible to her. Cost her the World Title, took the Television Title. And then she actually filmed herself making out with the boss’ daughter. Sienna will now get her chance to get her title back.”

Sharper: “Television Title on the line for the second consecutive year. This time, with the Women’s Title also up for grabs. A huge match for both divisions.”

We then cut to the stage as we see a red carpet rolled halfway down the rampway. We see several photographers placed along the red carpet and at the end. We then see Laura Steinbeck in the middle of the rampway. She’s yelling at everyone to be ready. She then motions to the back as sparks shoots out from in front of the stage. We then see the stage turn a shade of gold as “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play. The crowd boos as we see shots of Sienna Swann on the big screen. We then Sienna Swann rise up from under the stage and kneeling down in the middle of the stage. We then see the Truelove Twins step out from the back as they both walk over to Sienna before undoing something on her back. They then both pull out with some wiring, a set of wings that extend half the length of the stage, visible from all parts of the arena before Sienna slowly stands up and poses. The photographers all take several pictures of Sienna, the wings unfurled, while the SCW Women’s Championship sits around her waist. She holds the pose for a few moments before her nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “And her opponent, she is the reigning and defending SCW Women’s Champion, accompanied by the Truelove Twins and Laura Steinbeck, from Johannesburg, South Africa, she is Sienna Swann!”

The Truelove Twins then step towards each other in the middle of the stage behind Swann as Swann steps forward. This causes the wings to pull back directly behind Swann as she walks down the rampway and down the red carpet. The crowd boos more as Laura Steinbeck backs up a bit and applauds as the photographers take more pictures. She walks down the red carpet and then the rest of the stage, the Twins following her, holding the wings up. She just watches Ravyn Taylor, looking at her with her piercing eyes as Ravyn just smirks while seated in the ring. Laura Steinbeck heads to the back as the photographers stop taking pictures and leave too. Sienna reaches the end of the rampway and looks in the ring as a crewmember comes over to her and unhooks the wings. He helps her and the Twins take it off before walking it over to the side of the entrance way. Sienna turns to the Twins as they talk a bit and Sienna then turns around and heads over to the steel steps. She walks up them before climbing up to the top rope, using her left hand to steady herself. She then looks around and poses as she smiles. She then drops down into the ring. She then unclasps her Women’s Title with her left hand and pulls it around before extending it to Kohl. Kohl takes it as the Twins walk around the ring in opposite direction. Ravyn just smirks, looking at Sienna’s hand, realizing she’s not used her right hand at all. She points to it as Kohl holds up both the Women’s and Television Titles and the SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen before cutting to the SCW Women’s Championship logo from the opposite direction and both fade to the bottom corners. Kohl hands off the title before Ravyn gets his attention, pointing to Sienna’s hand. Sienna just scoffs, shaking her head as she walks forward and then opens her right hand, revealing nothing in it. Just then, Paris, of the Truelove Twins, turns and throws some glitter right into the side of Ravyn’s head. Ravyn turns and Sienna runs over and nails her with a forearm as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann with a beautiful display with those wings-“

Knots: “The wings of an angel. The SCW Women’s Champion with an entrance fit for the pageantry of this event!”

Sharper: “But then glitter and Sienna played Ravyn a bit. Didn’t use the right hand and Ravyn noticed but Paris Truelove with the glitter. Shades of their TV Title match a month ago! Sienna’s all over the Television Champion, Ravyn Taylor!”

The bell sounds. Sienna nails Ravyn again and then again. The heat causes some of the glitter to stay on Ravyn’s face as she pushes her into the corner and Sienna chops Ravyn. The crowd woos and boos as Sienna chops her again. She then whips Ravyn across the ring and into the opposite corner. Sienna runs after and nails her with a running forearm. Ravyn winces and steps out and Sienna snapmares her over and then jumps up and hits a knee drop to the throat of Ravyn. Ravyn pops up a bit, but Sienna forces her down and goes for the pin.

Ravyn kicks out. She rolls over to the ropes and starts to get up only for Sienna to kick her in the ribs. Ravyn falls over to the corner.

Sharper: “Sienna using those strikes to keep Ravyn where she wants.”

Knots: “While her face is still covered in enough glitter to make Kesha blush!”

Ravyn winces and Sienna pushes her back and hits a shoot kick to the ribs. Ravyn winces. She shoot kicks her again. Sienna then leans in.

Sienna: “Still thinking this is a game?”

Sienna then whips Ravyn out, but stops before pulling her into the corner. Ravyn stops herself and elbows Sienna in the jaw. Sienna staggers back. Ravyn then runs at her and spins through and hip tosses her down. Sienna rolls over and gets up in the corner. Ravyn walks over and Sienna goes for the eyes, but Ravyn blocks it and rakes Sienna’s eyes. The crowd roars. She then forearms her in the jaw before whipping her across the ring. Ravyn runs after and Sienna gets her elbow up. Ravyn staggers back and Sienna runs out and clotheslines her down. She goes for the pin.

Ravyn kicks out. She turns and rolls over and gets up. Sienna grabs her and wrenches her arm. She pushes her into the ropes before going to whip her across. Ravyn spins through and sends Sienna in. Sienna bounces off and Ravyn jumps up and hits a jumping back elbow. Sienna hits the mat and rolls over. Ravyn gets up.

Sharper: “Ravyn getting that elbow up, but Sienna Swann more aggressive than we’ve seen. There’s a hatred there. Something I’m sure Ravyn expected, but not this hard.”

Knots: “Ravyn may have outplayed herself a bit. Swann’s hitting those strikes with hard impact and with this heat, you’re breathing heavier. You’re just going to slow down. We’ve seen how high impact hurts all night!”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, you wonder if CHBK is watching. Sienna Swann had to have seen that. Regan Street supporting her. Josh Hudson too a bit. That’s a x-factor no one thought we’d be considering a couple of hours ago.”

Ravyn turns and walks over to Sienna. Sienna stirs and Ravyn scoops her up and slams her down. Ravyn runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running elbow drop. She turns and goes for the pin.

Sienna kicks out. Sienna rolls over. She starts to get up and Ravyn walks over and chops her. The crowd woos. Sienna holds her chest and backs up. Ravyn chops her again. More woos. We see some sweat fly too as Ravyn grabs Sienna and whips her across the ring. Sienna bounces off and Ravyn scoops Sienna up. Sienna spins around Ravyn and lands behind her. She then runs Ravyn into the ropes. She pulls back for an Okana roll, but Ravyn holds onto the ropes. Sienna rolls through. She gets up and Ravyn runs at Sienna and grabs her arm. She pulls her back and kicks her thigh. Sienna turns and Ravyn runs back past her, dropping her with the single-arm straitjacket cutter. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Ravyn using Sienna’s own body against her there. That’s the gear’s turning as Ravyn may not be the fastest or strongest, but damn sure is creative and intelligent.”

Knots: “Cover! Don’t tell me she’s going to take them all from her!”

Ravyn hooks the leg.

Sienna kicks out. Ravyn rolls off and gets up. Ravyn gets up as Sienna rolls over. The Truelove Twins are shown, talking to each other, as they’ve regrouped at ringside, sharing some thoughts as Ravyn grabs Sienna and pulls her up to her hands and knees and hits a knee rake to the side of Sienna’s head. Sienna rolls over, holding her face. She grabs at the ropes and Ravyn grabs her and tries to push her down, but Sienna elbows her in the ribs and then again before reaching up and raking the eyes. Ravyn staggers back. Sienna then runs at her and jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. She rolls through and gets up. She then walks over to the ropes and steps forward and hits a cartwheel and into a jumping flipping senton onto Ravyn. The crowd ohs and Sienna leans back in an arrogant pose for the pin.

Ravyn rolls her shoulder up and Sienna slides down a bit. She rolls over and looks at the official as one of the twins snaps at Kohl.

Sharper: “Some of the arrogance of Sienna Swann coming out there.”

Knots: “Or disrespect. She won the TV Title from dressed like Syren!”

Sharper: “That is true. No love lost between these two, but Sienna Swann also sending a bit of a message and Sienna, despite the rough month, almost entirely because of Ravyn Taylor, let’s point out her record. It’s been impressive in this year. Her first singles losses were because of Ravyn Taylor.”

Ravyn rolls over and Sienna pulls her up and then pulls her back in a mat slam into her knee. Ravyn rolls over, holding her back. She stirs and Sienna then grabs her arm and locks in La Magistral cradle.

Ravyn kicks out. Both get up and Sienna hits a kick to the ribs. She then whips her into the corner. Ravyn walks over and scoops her up and slams her down. Sienna then exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars a bit, while some boo. She gets up to the top rope and poses for a moment before diving off with the Swann-ton Bomb, but Ravyn rolls out of the way. Sienna hits the mat and rolls over. She turns and starts to get up and Ravyn runs over and grabs her and hits an STO. The crowd ohs and Ravyn hooks the leg.

Sienna kicks out. Ravyn rolls away. Sienna turns and starts to get up and Ravyn pulls her up before hitting a snap back suplex.

Sharper: “Ravyn with a hard suplex, sending Sienna back down. And Ravyn slowly getting up. You can see she’s a bit slower than normal. Part the impact of Sienna’s offense. Part the heat.”

Knots: “And we already saw some of the sweat fly with some of those chops. I hope those fans nearby were honoured. They were covered in the exact substance French perfume shops pay millions for!”

Sienna rolls over and Ravyn then walks over and grabs Sienna. She pulls her up and turns and whips her into the ropes. Sienna bounces off and Ravyn spins through and hits a discus clothesline. Ravyn then walks over and goes to the corner. She climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and wipes some of the sweat off her face, moving her hair back before seeing the glitter now on her hand. She dives off and hits a diving stomp to the face of Sienna. Sienna turns, holding her face. Ravyn rolls her back over and goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Oh! The impact. Both hitting hard as both were coming off the ropes and Ravyn and Sienna dropping one another with the double clothesline.”

Knots: “Ravyn rolling away. I think she may have gotten the worse of it!”

Sharper: “Ravyn always thinking. She could be avoiding a sudden trap pin. Sienna Swann also has been hitting those strikes and hard. Sienna meanwhile just down as here we are, in Phoenix, for Rise to Greatness. Huge crowd here tonight.”

We cut to a wide shot of the ring, showing both down in it as it pans back. (1) The referee continues to count. (2) Sienna rolls over a bit as Ravyn rolls to the ropes. (3) She starts to pull herself up as Sienna gets to her hands and knees. (4) She starts to get her feet under her as Ravyn takes a moment.

Ravyn runs after, but Sienna turns and grabs the ropes and uses the momentum to flip up and over to the apron. Ravyn tries to change her plan and goes for the Bust of Pallas, but Sienna side steps. She then pulls Ravyn’s leg back before slingshotting herself into the ring and grabbing Ravyn’s head and hitting a hangman’s neckbreaker. The crowd ohs and Ravyn rolls over, holding her head and neck. Sienna rolls over and starts to get up.

Sharper: “Ravyn tried to call an audible. Got caught and a hell of a neckbreaker.”

Ravyn shoots her shoulder up. Sienna looks up. She turns to Kohl and snaps at him. Immediately, the Truelove Twins walk around the ring and get to the nearest side and yell at Kohl. Kohl just points out she got her shoulder up. Ravyn slowly rolls over.

Sharper: “Sienna thought she had Ravyn there. She caught her with that spinning elbow.”

Knots: “And Ravyn just dropped, but somehow, somehow knew to get the shoulder up.”

Sharper: “And Sienna Swann getting annoyed at the official, Jackson Kohl and the Trueloves are piling on.”

The crowd boos as Sienna turns back and stomps Ravyn in the back of the head. She stomps her again and then pulls her up. Sienna drags her up and then turns and whips her into the ropes.

Sharper: “I don’t know, but a big powerbomb! The cover! What strength!”

Ravyn kicks out just in time. The crowd ohs. Ravyn rolls over and Sienna just looks at her. Sienna then steps over and grabs Ravyn. She then pulls her up.

Ravyn then runs over to Sienna, almost in a sign of desperation, but Sienna drops down to a squatting position and extends her foot. She boots Ravyn back. Ravyn then jumps up and turns and goes for a moonsault. Ravyn ducks and steps forward. Sienna lands on her feet and steps back and Ravyn suddenly hits a superkick. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “They just saved Sienna Swann, but for their trouble, they’re being tossed!”

Knots: “Damn it! They used their one trump card! And come on! They’re hot! They should be allowed to stay here!”

Kohl turns and rolls into the ring and Sienna lunges for the Kiss of an Angel, but Ravyn discuses out of it and then jumps up and hits the Evolutionary Synthesis for the second time. Sienna falls back and Ravyn just falls over and throws her arm over Sienna.

The crowd roars. The Truelove Twins just look on in shock as they stand in the entrance way.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and NEW SCW Women’s Champion and STILL SCW Television Champion, Ravyn Taylor!”

Knots: “No! No no no!”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann was able to do everything but hit the Kiss and Ravyn Taylor able to counter it twice! And with whatever she had left…she’s always been a survivor, but she’s managed to win the Women’s Championship!”

Knots: “And now she’s a dual champion….the Bad, Bad Dual Champion…”

Sharper: “Truelove Twins used their ace, hoping it wouldn’t lead to a disqualification. It didn’t, but if they came back in, the referee could’ve awarded the match to Ravyn.”

REPLAY:

We see the Truelove Twins pull the official out of the ring. The crowd boos before we see Jackson Kohl throw both of them out. They get in his face as we cut back to the ring to see Sienna then waiting as Ravyn comes over and she turns and tries to just pull her into the Kiss of an Angel, lulling her in, but Ravyn turns at the last moment and Sienna knees her underarm. Ravyn yells in pain.

Sharper: “And this…Sienna boasting she wouldn’t be outsmarted. A smart move waiting for Ravyn, trusting her ability, but Ravyn at the last moment, sacrificing her arm to avoid the possible knockout!”

Knots: “She then tried yet again. Ravyn just was in survival mode for the last few minutes of this match. Sienna Swann threw everything and tried for another Kiss of an Angel. This time more traditional. And Ravyn again dodged!”

We see Ravyn throw into the ropes as Sienna runs at her and goes for the Kiss of an Angel, but Ravyn spins out of the way and jumps up and hits an Evolutionary Synthesis, the second time in the match. She then throws herself onto Sienna with whatever she had left.

The bell sounds and the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We cut to the floor to see Ravyn down on the ground in front of the announce table, holding both titles as she smirks. Kohls raises her arm. She then starts to get up as Sienna stirs in the ring.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor has managed to take both the Television and Women’s Championships from Sienna Swann and Swann…just wait until she realizes. Wait until her reaction.”

Knots: “It’s horrible! Horrible!”

Ravyn then slowly gets up and walks around the ring, wincing and holding her arm, still selling the effects of Sienna’s knee strike. Sienna is helped up by the Truelove Twins.

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen and we see a shot of Selena Frost before we see a shot of Vixen Cain and then see both.

Sharper: “With high stakes in that match…nothing like our next one. SCW could change for good.”

Knots: “Vixen Cain could get Watchman back for Wiseman. He could earn a World Title shot. Will the pressure crush Selena Frost?”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We open up to a shot of a naturesque scene, with a babbling brook. We then see a young child, holding a book, sitting on a rock. She opens it up and starts to scan the pages before beginning to read.

Child: “Once upon a time... The devil, in the form of an evil troll, made a magic mirror that distorted the appearance of everything that it reflects.”

We then see a shot of Vixen Cain smiling and laughing, appearing behind her. This is followed by a shot of Vixen Cain spearing Selena Frost to win the SCW World Championship. The child continues to read though.

Child: “The magic mirror failed to reflect the good and beautiful aspects of people and things, and instead magnified their bad and ugly aspects. “

We see Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman attacking Kelcey Wallace and Selena Frost, stomping away on them as the bell can be heard in the background. This is followed by a shot of Vixen Cain and Merrick Wiseman attacking Amy Chastaine, Kara Abheri and Shane Lawson with the help of the Stewards.

Child: “The devil delighted in using the mirror to distort everyone and everything; the mirror making the loveliest landscapes look like "boiled spinach. They attempt to carry the mirror into heaven in order to make fools of the angels and of God.”

We see a shot of Vixen Cain smiling at Mr. D as they meet backstage before showing Vixen Cain defeating Syren and then Gable Winchester. This is followed by Vixen Cain posing proudly as the World Champion.

Child: “Reaching heaven, the devil laughed before shattering the mirror into billions of pieces, some no larger than a grain of sand. These splinters are blown by the wind all over the Earth and get into people's hearts and eyes, freezing their hearts like blocks of ice and making their eyes like the troll-mirror itself, seeing only the bad and ugly in people and things.”

We then see shots of Vixen Cain laughing again before showing Merrick Wiseman attacking Selena Frost in the concourse at Taking Hold of the Flame. We then see Vixen Cain sitting on Selena Frost’s bus as Selena Frost just looks on from the ring and runs to the back. We then see Vixen Cain standing face to face with Selena Frost before the image shatters behind the girl reading.

Child: There was only one way to get it out...Believe... Believe...

The child just looks at the camera for a moment as we hear the crowd’s chanting in the background.

Crowd: WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE!

Selena Frost: “Believe it!”

“Believer” by Imagine Dragons starts to play. We then see a shot of Vixen Cain nailing Kelcey Wallace with the World Championship . Mr. D is shown in the entrance way as Selena Frost runs past and we see Cain nail her, but then we see Kelcey nailing Cain with the World Title before we hear the sound of a bell.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace back on top of the world here in SCW! Even with the arm, Cain looking to attack her with the gold, Selena Frost with the assist and making sure Cain wouldn’t do whatever he had planned and Kelcey didn’t hesitate!”

We see Kelcey Wallace holding the World Championship as the crowd cheers.

First things first

I'mma say all the words inside my head

I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh

The way that things have been, oh-ooh

We then see a shot of Vixen Cain in the ring as Selena Frost, Amy Chastaine and Ravyn Taylor battle with him, Dante McCaffery and Merrick Wiseman as the crowd cheers as we see Selena jumping up and hitting the Defying Gravity on Vixen Cain. Cain falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring. We see multiple shots of Selena Frost hitting the Defying Gravity on Vixen Cain.

Sharper: “Selena drilled Cain! Defying Gravity! She hit it!”

Knots: “Cain is out! Cain is out!”

Second thing second

Don't you tell me what you think that I can be

I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh

The master of my sea, oh-ooh

We then cut to Taking Hold of the Flame to see Selena Frost running out from the back at Taking Hold of the Flame, bandages around he rhead as she runs down to the ring. We see Selena spearing Cain down and nailing him with repeated shots. We then see Cain trying to frantically get away, raking her eyes before we see Selena sidestepping Cain and Cain going into Imogen Reed eliminating her. We then see Selena Frost nailing Cain with a clothesline eliminating him as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Cain eliminated! Selena Frost just ended Cain’s main event hopes!”

Winters: “Cain couldn’t get out of that one and Selena Frost, hell hath no fury like a Snow Queen scorned!”

I was broken from a young age

Taking my soul into the masses

Write down my poems for the few

That looked at me Took to me, shook to me, feeling me

Singing from heart ache from the pain

Take up my message from the veins

Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty through the...

We then see a shot of Selena Frost attacking Vixen Cain on Breakdown, stomping away at him as Cain falls to the floor. Selena keeps following after him as we see security coming out. We then see Vixen Cain looking at Selena Frost at the contract signing at Supreme Saturday: Puerto Rico.

Selena: “If you beat me…Cain, I’ve wanted this match for months. You’re not going to beat me. Not after costing me the World Title. Not after trying to cost me the Taking Hold of the Flame. Not after breaking every rule so you can knock me out of your way.”

Cain: “Well I can answer half the question…To be fair…it’s really rather minor, but I figure we should have something to remind you of the greatest mistake you’ve made and the fact that you will have failed Mr. D here in protecting everything he holds dear. Because when I beat you, I don’t want you to shave your head…I want you to die it red. So you will forever be a symbol of the failure of Rise to Greatness…”

The chorus plays in the backgtround as we see Selena and Cain just looking at one another with Mr. D in the middle.

Pain!

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Pain!

You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer

Pain!

I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain

My luck, my love, my God, they came from...

Pain!

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Selena: “What did you give him?”

Mr. D: “First…you and Cain can’t have any physical interaction with one another until Rise to Greatness. To ensure he’ll play ball, he instigates against you, he forfeits any World Championship shot. If you instigate…he gets the next next two demands immediately and the match is called off.”

Selena scoffs a bit as she’s reading through.

Mr. D: “Second…the winner of this match receives an SCW World Championship opportunity on the first Breakdown after Rise to Greatness.”

The crowd roars. Cain smiles as Selena looks up.

Mr. D: “And Third…if Cain wins, the Watchman Program is back in effect with Wiseman in control.”

Mr. D just looks at Selena.

Mr. D: “I hope it’s worth it.”

Cain: “Oh it will be. Selena always wanted to be the hero…”

Mr. D: “Well Selena, don’t screw it up.”

Mr. D drops the microphone. Selena signs the contract and slides it to D. She then looks at Mr. D.

Selena: “I won’t….

We then see a shot of the child again as “Believer” echoes out. We then see a shot of Selena Frost standing in the middle of the ring posing behind the child.

Child: “Believe it!”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

“BELIEVE IT!”

The crowd roars as the stage and entrance way turns a bright hue of white. We then see what appears to be snow coming down from the ceiling and all over the stage and entrance way and part of the crowd. A few moments pass as we see Selena Frost walk out from the back, her hair in a tight-braid, wearing a robe with a cape, all in a silvery blue. She looks down at the stage for a few moments before then taking and a moment and throwing her arms out and looking up as white steam shoots up across the stage and into the air. Selena then looks down at the crowd as her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “The following contest is a special contest match with the following rules. If Vixen Cain is victorious, the Watchman Program returns and Selena Frost must dye her hair red. Whoever wins will receive a World Championship opportunity on the August 23^rd edition of Breakdown. First, on her way to the ring, from Nome, Alaska, she is the Snow Queen…Selena Frost!”

The crowd cheers as Selena Frost snaps out of her trance and starts to point to all of her fans as she walks down to the ring. She looks around, smiling a bit as she makes her way down the rampway and to the ring. She reaches the ringside area before going over to the ring and jumping up and sliding into the ring. She gets up and looks around as steam shoots out of the ringposts. She then drops to a knee and looks around and then jumps up and goes over to the middle of the ring, climbing up to the middle ropes. She looks around and jumps off before taking off her robe and cave before walking around the ring.

Sharper: “Selena Frost focused for the match she wanted. She agreed to any stipulations, blindly. She wanted Cain in that ring.”

Knots: “And if she fails, she basically screws over all of SCW and it would be hilarious. Vixen Cain made sure that he got everything he wanted and maybe more.”

Sharper: “Selena Frost knows that’s on her head. And she is ready. She is prepared and you heard her earlier. She’s as focused as you can be.”

“Danse Macabre” begins to play as the crowd boos loudly. We then see lights go off and on all over the stadium. The crowd continues to boo before the stage turns a bright shade of red. We then see fire shoot out from the stage as we see Vixen Cain start to saunter out from the back. He has his cigarette holder in his hand and he looks around the area. He just chuckles before he takes a drag of his cigarette. As he does, the red on the stage gets brighter. He then smirks before taking another drag. He blows out the smoke before starting to slowly walk forward. His nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Salem, Oregon, he is Vixen Cain!”

Cain just continues to make his way down to the ring. He takes a drag of his cigarette every once and a while, causing the red to burn brighter in time. Selena just glares at him in the ring as he continues to slowly make his long walk to the ring. The crowd continues to boo him as he makes his way down to the ring and over to the steel steps. He walks up them and smirks as he then holds the cigarette up and then hands it off to a ring crew member. Selena watches it before Cain slides his fur coat off. He then walks along the ropes. He then steps into the ring. He just looks at Selena with a smile. He then extends his hands as the lights return to normal. He looks around, yelling at her “This is what you wanted.” Cain backs up and chuckles.

Sharper: “Cain coming down and with that cigarette….Selena even eying it. At one point, he tried to burn her with it.”

Knots: “Yeah. They don’t like each other and that may be the lightest way of putting it.”

Sharper: “But you see…the light and the dark. The good and the evil. Part of the imagery both have used and many of us see in both of them in this one.”

Steven Hollinsworth, the official, calls for the bell and Selena Frost rushes Cain. The crowd roars as Cain quickly backs up and covers up as Selena nails him with a kick to the ribs and then forearm and then another and another. The crowd roars. The referee calls for the break.

Cain shoves Selena back. She stops and turns around and nails Cain again with a forearm and then a kick to the ribs before again.

Cain shoves her back. She rolls through and gets up and Cain steps out and Selena hits a dropkick. He falls back into the corner and Selena gets up and nails him again and again.

Sharper: “Selena Frost and Vixen Cain can finally get their hands on each other and Selena Frost is unleashed on Cain!”

Knots: “Cain is trying to get away and every time he does, he’s resetting Hollinsworth’s count!”

Sharper: “And Selena striking with those forearms. Hard shots in there.”

Selena gets another and another before kicking him in the ribs. Cain then reaches up and digs his fingers into the eyes of Selena. Selena lets out a yell and Cain rakes the eyes before spinning her into the corner. Cain then hits a back elbow before stepping out and hitting a back chop and a kick. He then pulls her out and whips her across the ring. Selena hits the corner and runs out and Cain jumps up and hits a calf kick. Selena hits the mat. She starts to get up and Cain walks over and clubs him in the back before spinning her around and hitting another back elbow. The crowd roars as Selena walks along the ropes.

She bounces off and Cain goes for a clothesline, but Selena ducks and jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a twisting crossbody. The referee goes down for the pin, but Selena kneels next to Cain and nails him with a couple of hard right hands. The referee reprimands her for the closed fists.

Sharper: “Selena hammering away on Cain after the crossbody!”

Knots: “She’s been sitting on this for over a month. Cain even took over her tourbus, where Selena’s son was and forced her to stay on the bus at least until the show the next night. This is all coming out here!”

Selena gets a couple more shots in and she gets up. Cain rolls over. Selena turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and jumps up and hits a running calf kick, knocking Cain back down. Cain hits the mat and turns and Selena rolls him back to the mat and goes for the pin.

Selena grabs him and goes to whip him across, but Cain spins through and sends Selena in. Selena bounces off the ropes and Cain lifts her up and launches her into the air and with a huge back drop. The crowd ohs and Selena rolls over, holding her back. She turns to Cain who clotheslines her down.

Sharper: “Cain floors Selena as Selena was still trying to figure out gravity after she was launched.”

Knots: “Launched into the air and probably got a nice bit of cool-air from the air rushing past her on that one.”

Selena turns and slowly gets up and Cain kicks her in the ribs. He then hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. Selena winces and turns. She slowly gets up and Cain walks over and nails her in the ribs with a swinging blow. Selena winces and Cain knees her again.

Sharper: “And Cain now going for the ribs a bit and Selena’s had those issues earlier in the year. They’ve had some chance to heal, but Cain is going to test them.”

Knots: “Even if they have, they take a while, so they’ll be sore from time to time and with what’s on the line, Cain’s going to take everything he can to win.”

Cain then pushes her into the ropes and whips her across. Cain however holds on and follows after and knees her in the ribs. He whips her across and runs with her and knees her again. Cain then pulls her forward and hooks her up before hitting a Russian leg sweep and rolls through into a pin.

He then runs her into the corner. Selena falls over to a knee and Cain spins her around. Cain then rears back and clotheslines her in the chest and then again and again.

Selena then turns and jumps to the middle turnbuckle and twists back and hits a dropkick to the face of Cain. Cain hits the mat and rolls towards the ropes.

Sharper: “Cain getting a bit cocky and giving Selena a moment to recover. Dropkick knocks down the former World Champion.”

Knots: “Selena getting to use those kicks here and there. We’ve seen how damaging they can be.”

Selena watches him before running at him and jumping up and hitting a clothesline, knocking Cain up and over the top rope and to the floor. Selena goes up and over but holds onto the ropes and lands on the apron.

Sharper: “Cain sent to the floor. All leverage on that one, but Selena in a great position to follow-up.”

Knots: “Selena is fighting like the weight of SCW is on her. She’s not holding back at all.”

Sharper: “And Cain has to be figuring that out. He has to know that Selena’s not going to be fighting defensively on this one.”

Selena then waits as Cain starts to get up on the floor. (1) Selena then turns and jumps off for a hurricanrana.

Knots: “And right in the middle of the ring too. We may be seeing Selena Frost not only fail SCW, but we may see her having to submit to do it!”

Selena doesn’t submit as the referee checks as Cain sits down and smiles, looking around at the crowd. We then see Mr. D watching backstage, shaking his head.

Sharper: “You even see the boss. Watching. He knows this could be bad for him as well!”

Knots: “And we may see his heart break right now!”

Selena tries to power out, but Cain remains seated down, keeping her down. She then reaches around. The crowd cheers for Selena and a faint “We Believe!” chant begins to come from the crowd. Selena keeps reaching out, trying to figure out how close the ropes are. She grits her teeth and pulls herself a bit closer. Cain continues to hold as the referee keeps checking on Selena. He stands up, waving off the bell, to ensure it’s clear she has not tapped. The chants grow. She keeps moving closer to the ropes.

Vixen Cain rolls out of the ring to the floor. We then cut backstage to see Mr. D looking on with relief, giving a sigh of relief before turning and walking off. Back in the ring, Selena continues to celebrate.

Sharper: “A great moment for Selena Frost.”

Knots: “Yeah…but who is she facing?”

Sharper “Who will be World Champion leaving Rise to Greatness 2017?”

“Oh Lord” by In This Moment starts to play as the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen. We see a shot of Ace Marshall with Cassidy Carter before showing Kelcey Wallace and then both.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal winner. Kelcey Wallace, the World Champion. Who will walk away holding the richest prize in wrestling!”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up.

We open up with a shot of Kelcey Wallace at Broken Beliefs. We see Kelcey Wallace holding up the SCW World Championship. The crowd cheers. No other sound is heard. Kelcey Wallace just continues to celebrate before we see Selena Frost with her and we see the two celebrating together a bit.

Kelcey: “This is a feeling I have been waiting for for sixteen months. I stand here yet again as the World Champion.”

We see shots of Kelcey Wallace standing with Monarchy, seeing her heartbroken against Ravyn Taylor. We then see Selena Frost catching her with the Defying Gravity at Best of the Best before showing her yelling at the official with Chris Cannon. We then see Kelcey pinning Katelyn Buehler at Rise to Greatness 2016 and then showing Selena Frost standing over her again, before showing her running over to Chris Cannon as Blake Mason looking at Cannon. We see shots of Kelcey Wallace glaring at Blake Mason before showing her nailing Blake with the Perfect Ending, before showing Bree Lancaster nailing her with the loaded purse in January, followed by Bree and Blake leading the roofed cage at Retribution victorious and Kelcey Wallace standing in the ring disappointed.

We then cut to a shot of Taking Hold of the Flame 2017. We see Kelcey Wallace walking to the ring before showing Bree Lancaster waiting in the ring.

Sharper: “The World Champion is ready. This is the moment she’s wanted. This match, it gets her one step closer to being in the main event again at Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “But if Bree can play spoiler, it will be huge. Rise to Greatness will be classier than ever!”

We then cut to the end of the match to show Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree with the Perfect Ending! We see Kelcey Wallace covering Bree Lancaster.

Sharper: “And Kelcey Wallace is still World Champion!”

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and still SCW World Champion, Kelcey Wallace!”

Knots: “Is there an echo in here?”

We see Kelcey Wallace celebrating as she holds the SCW World Championship. The scene slowly fades to black. We then just hear Kelcey Wallace’s voice.

Kelcey: “I am now one step closer to returning to the main event of Rise to Greatness and this time as the SCW World Champion. A lot can happen until then. Six and a half weeks until that night. And what awaits at the end is the winner of the 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame battler royal, Ace Marshall.”

We then cut to a shot of Ace Marshall standing in the ring, nodding his head as he looks around. We see him walking to the ring. Before cutting to Taking Hold of the Flame as he runs out from the back.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall, the former World Champion, is number five!”

Winters: “Rough drawing and a rough way to return.”

Sharper: “Injured a few months ago. His arm injured in the semi-finals of the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament. But he’s back, he’s recovered and just in time.”

We cut to the final moments of Taking Hold of the Flame. Selena Frost then gets to the top rope. Ace slowly rolls over and starts to get up to his feet. He gets up and as Selena steadies herself. We then suddenly see Cassidy Carter hop onto the apron, having come down the entrance way. She then shoves Selena off and she flips over and lands in the ring. The crowd ohs and boos. She rolls over and Ace turns as Cassidy snaps at him to eliminate her. Ace grabs Selena as she slowly gets up and turns and runs her to the ropes and throws her up and over the top rope to the floor. The crowd boos as the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner of the 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal….Ace Marshall!”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Cassidy Carter enters the ring. “Adrenalize” plays as Cassidy raises his arm.

Sharper: “Selena took a risk. Ace Marshall had no answer, but Cassidy Carter! Cassidy Carter coming out!”

Winters: “Between the games, the outfit, now Cassidy Carter, Ace Marshall had some semblance of a plan. A shame for Selena Frost.”

Sharper: “Frost taking out by Cain and Wiseman earlier. She came back, eliminated Cain and got to the final two. She was that close to going to Rise to Greatness for her dream, but thanks to Cassidy Carter, Ace Marshall will headline Rise to Greatness, now as the challenger, for the second year in a row!”

We then cut to a shot of Kelcey Wallace and Ace Marshall in the middle of the ring, the night after Taking Hold of the Flame.

Ace: “Well I was debating that I was going to sit back there as you talked about all this Perfection business and how you now respect me and blah, blah, blah, but I figured I’d just come out here and point out that we can just cut the crap.”

The crowd roars a bit. Kelcey just nods.

Ace: “You don’t respect me. A year ago, I remember when you were coming out here and talking about how much of a joke it was that I was World Champion and that James Evans, which to be fair, you were right, he shouldn’t have been anywhere near humanity at that point…but either way, you ran your mouth.”

We then cut to a shot of Kelcey Wallace talking to Sasha D. backstage.

Kelcey: “Well then, you can answer your question right now. Just give the word and I’ll happily compete for the World Championship tonight and save this event.”

We then cut back to show Ace Marshall and Kelcey Wallace.

Ace: “And the only difference is that well, let’s face it, I’ll admit, you probably aren’t going to be powerbombing me and trying to murder me in front of the world at Rise to Greatness. You don’t quite have the Perfect arms for that, but I do think you’ll lose your Perfect Mind if you have to look up after Rise to Greatness and see me holding the World Championship.”

We see shots of Ace Marshall naked in Mr. D’s office trying to seduce him before showing Ace Marshall competing in Cassidy Carter’s attire and then showing him eating popcorn at ringside as Kelcey Wallace watches him in the ring. We this followed by Ace Marshall practicising his lewd celebrations with Cassidy Carter in the ring. We then see Kelcey Wallace shaking her head in the ring.

Kelcey: “Let me start with that last part…because it’s what unifies everything…and that’s this…the World Championship. It’s what Vixen Cain wants. It’s what Ace Marshall will fight for. But at Rise to Perfection, when I go out there and talk about how I will not let ANYTHING beat me, not Sienna Swann, not Bree Lancaster, and not Ace Marshall, it’s not to be arrogant. It’s because that’s what I believe. I call it Rise to Perfection because that’s the standard I hold myself too.”

Kelcey pauses.

Kelcey: “Ace Marshall is running around naked, playing his bets with Ravyn Taylor and she’s not much better. Both can go in that ring. I’ve NEVER said otherwise, but to come out here and be competing for SCW Championships while they run around and frankly…do things that are embarrassing, that I can’t understand.”

We then cut to see Ace Marshall backstage with Cassidy Carter.

Ace: “We’re back here because well, we’re trying to enjoy the show. Kelcey, let’s just stop this now, you’ve read from this script before. We get it. You’re Perfect. You’re the champion. You think I’m a joke.”

Cassidy: “I know he is one!”

Ace: “And you then slip in that little line about how I’m dangerous. I survived having sex with Kennedy Street. That changes a man! There are teeth and everything down there. It’s how she maintained the arrogance and hanger’s on. But the thing is that you know what everyone does…I do whatever the hell I want. It’s that simple. And that bothers you because you want to be perfect.”

We cut to Kelcey Wallace posing as she comes to the ring.

Kelcey: “Well Ace…keep playing the fool, because you’re right. My record may no longer be ‘perfect.’ But that’s the standard I still hold for myself. You…well, it’s written all over your face. You’re just a dick who now has his shot at the top and is going to milk these fifteen minutes turned fifteen months into fame. It’s been a good run. But last year it nearly got you put on the shelf when James Evans tossed you from the top rope into the barricade. I’m not going to do anything that nefarious. I’m just going to win.”

We see Ace Marshall feigning fear as Cassidy rolls his eyes. Kelcey Wallace posing with the World Title is shown again as the crowd roaring is heard in the background.

Kelcey: “It may be sound like my greatest hits Ace. But lately, it’s been getting the results. You…you may need Cassidy and Ravyn and anyone else you can find to help you win. This is Rise to Perfection, Ace…Eat the popcorn, drink the beer, make jokes, have fun…Enjoy the ride. Because I’ll enjoy the win.”

We then see Ace Marshall standing in the ring after his match with Donovan Kayl. Cassidy Carter is with him.

Ace: “I will be facing someone who is apparently the greatest woman that ever was, who will end terrorism, have monuments built to her and make sure she DIES with the World Title. And she is going to kick my ass, or so she says. The problem is that I’ve been working this son of a bitch out for a long time and it’s ready to take a few stiff shots.”

We then see Kelcey Wallace walking out to the ring.

Ace: “Actually, no. Are you going to get all pissy because I’m not taking this seriously enough. You’re great. You’re fantastic. Whoop-di-doo. But if you want a coronary because the World Title is the end all be all…fine me with me. I see it as extra money and a good pay day and that keeps her happy so bonus. But if you want serious…”

Ace shrugs before turning away briefly and just then, Cassidy blasts Kelcey with a hard right as she’s just waiting for Ace. Kelcey turns away briefly. Cassidy smirks and turns around.

Ace: “A nice stiff shot there, huh? That what you-“

Just then, Kelcey turns and drills Ace with the Perfect Ending. The crowd roars. Ace falls back and rolls out of the ring. Cassidy looks at Kelcey as Kelcey looks at her and Cassidy backs off and rolls to the floor. Ace holds his jaw as Kelcey then grabs the microphone and looks at him.

Sharper: “My God! What a shot by Kelcey!”

Kelcey looks at Ace.

Kelcey: “You can act like this is no big deal. But it’s Rise to Greatness and holding this MATTERS to me. You’re not going to piss on that. You’re not going to laugh that off. You’re not going to disrespect that. And you can talk payday…this is about showing what I’ve accomplished and what I stand for…and if I have to beat some respect for what we all fight for, then damn it, I will do so PERFECTLY! You can be great…I’ll be perfect!”

Kelcey drops the microphone and holds the World Title up.

Sharper: “That’s what it’s all about this Sunday. And Ace can play his games, have his bets, and distractions, but for Kelcey, that is everything. And these fans respecting that.”

Knots: “Ace Marshall may not take it seriously like Kelcey does, but he can go in that ring. He’s a former World Champion.”

Sharper: “And Kelcey knows that, but this Sunday, she just found out, Ace is going to do things his way, she will do it hers and be that Perfectly or well, whatever you want to call Ace…Rise to Greatness, the clash of styles, all for the biggest prize in professional wrestling!”

We see a shot of Kelcey Wallace and Ace Marshall standing face to face as the recap ends.

We open up at ringside. We then see a giant countdown come up on the big screen. It counts down in fast progression from five to one before “Adrenalize” plays throughout the arena. We see spotlights pan around the arena as the a mixed reaction comes from the crowd. We then see Ace Marshall walk out from the back in his Oakley shades and his black jacket. Cassidy Carter walks out with him and the two look out at the crowd as the lights start to switch to red, blue and green. Ace Marshall just looks around and smiles as Cassidy soaks in the moment too. His nameplate comes up as he then starts to make his way to the ring.

Sharper: “Winner of the 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame. He was in the semi-finals of the Shot of Adrenaline tournament. He is a Trios Tournament winner and he could walk away with that contract and a World Title here tonight.”

Knots: “And he’s just here soaking it in. That just drives Kelcey nuts. For Kelcey, it’s all about the World Championship. All about the prestige.”

Sharper: “Ace Marshall has said he cares about winning. He wants the paycheque, but I know deep down he wants to be champion. I remember last year, he saw it as vindication. This year, he may not share it, but I think that still is there. Make it clear it wasn’t a fluke. We’ll see as Kelcey Wallace is back on top and will do anything to keep it.”

Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter walk down the rampway, hand in hand as the crowd continues to look on. Ace Marshall walks up to the camera and flips it off before walking past. Cassidy does the same and smirks before Ace hops onto the apron. He runs his hand through his hair before climbing up to the middle rope and looking around. Cassidy hops up too and she slowly enters the ring before looking around and going to the middle of the ring. She throws her arms up as Ace continues to stand in the corner. He hops in and then throws his arm up as he walks around the ring. His music starts to fade out as he takes off his entrance attire and goes to his corner. Cassidy Carter stands with him as the crowd starts to roar.

A few moments pass as silent spreads throughout the arena. We then hear the opening trumpets to the chorus of “Exodus” by Ernest Gold & Henry Mancini. The crowd roars. We then see smoke come all over the entrance way, covering it. A few moments pass before we see Kelcey Wallace rise up from under the stage, standing a pillar, proudly with her hands on her hips and with the SCW World Championship around her waist. She just looks out at the crowd and down to the ring as the crowd cheers. We then see golden pyro shoot up all around the stage and high into the air. The crowd roars as her nameplate comes up. Kelcey then steps off the apron and forward to the ramp. She then starts to make her way to the ring, walking down with purpose.

Sharper: “As Ace Marshall looked around, played to the camera, that’s all intensity. That’s all focus.”

Knots: “Kelcey Wallace saw the return to the top as her main mission. She is there. She doesn’t want to leave.”

Sharper: “Every wrestler wants to walk out of his night as World Champion. Defining moments happen at this event. Kelcey has had them. Ace has had them. But they want to walk out World Champion tonight.”

Kelcey Wallace continues to walk down to the ring and ignores the fans actually as they still cheer her. She then heads over to the steel steps. She takes a moment to refocus herself and take a deep breath before walking up the steel steps. She then steps along the apron and enters into the ring. She looks at Ace before turning and going over to the corner and climbing up to the middle rope. She looks around, holding the SCW World Championship over her head. She then waits a moment before hopping down. Her music fades out as she then heads over to her corner. The referee, Aaron Demitra, takes her World Championship and holds it over his head. Jason Phillips then walks forward. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and is for the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd cheers as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner.

Phillips: “First the challenger, he is accompanied by Cassidy Carter, from Houston, Texas, he is the 2017 Trios Tournament Winner, the 2017 Taking Hold of the Flame winner and a former World Champion…he is ACE MARSHALL!”

The crowd roars and a mixed reaction comes from the crowd. Ace just throws his arms up in the air, acting stunned he was given an entrance as Kelcey shakes her head.

Phillips: “And his opponent…from Newport, Wales, she is a former Trios Tournament and Taking Hold of the Flame winner as well. She is the reigning and defending SCW World Champion, she is KELCEY WALLACE!”

The crowd cheers as Kelcey then throws her arm in the air and then turns and pulls her kneepad up. The crowd roars as Jason Phillips exits the ring with the World Championship.

Ace Marshall looks at Kelcey Wallace. SCW Senior Official Aaron Demitra holds the SCW World Championship over his head and then turns and hands it off to Jason Phillips. Phillips backs up to his spot as Ace and Kelcey keep watching one another as the bell sounds. The crowd roars as Ace and Kelcey watch one another and Ace then mockingly runs his hand across his face, looking stern as Kelcey just rolls her eyes a bit and the two circle a bit before Ace moves in towards Kelcey and Kelcey ducks down and around and into a waistlock before turning into a side headlock. She pulls back as the crowd looks on. Ace pulls Kelcey back and into the ropes and fires her across. Kelcey bounces off the ropes and Ace shoulders her down. He then jumps up, his hands in the air and celebrating as Kelcey slowly rolls over, unimpressed and getting up. The crowd boos a bit, while some cheer and Ace smirks as he walks over and high-fives Cassidy at ringside. Ace then turns to Kelcey. Kelcey just looks at him mouthing “You done?” Ace just yells out “Never!”

Sharper: “And immediately the clash of styles playing a role early on. Kelcey Wallace is laser focused on retaining the title. Ace Marshall would love to be champion, but you can see a much different tact.”

Knots: “Celebrating after a shoulder block and this dimwit is trying to get into Kelcey’s head!”

Sharper: “And you can see it’s irritating Kelcey. But I don’t know if it’s doing much else or if Ace cares.”

Ace then smirks and tells Kelcey to come at him. Kelcey turns away briefly before lunging at Ace. Ace side steps a kick as Kelcey stops and turns and Ace forearms her in the jaw. He forearms her again and pushes her into the ropes before firing her across. Kelcey bounces off and Ace goes for a clothesline. Kelcey ducks. Ace turns around and Kelcey kicks him in the ribs. She then hooks his head and goes to turn into the Perfect Fate, but Ace spins out and shoves her into the corner. Kelcey turns in the corner and smirks.

Sharper: “Kelcey gets some air and drills Ace in the jaw. Knocking him down.”

Knots: “Taking that seriously?”

Kelcey falls back to the ropes.

Sharper: “Hard knee and Ace cuts off the World Champion.”

The crowd boos as Ace drops down for the pin.

Kelcey pushes her shoulder up.

Sharper: “The disrespect. Running the sole of his boot, scraping the top of Kelcey’s head.”

Knots: “That should answer any questions about Ace being serious…in his own way.”

Cassidy looks on as Ace pulls Kelcey up. He then pushes her into the ropes and whips her across. Kelcey bounces off and Ace jumps up and hits a high knee. He then turns and steps on his chest and poses as the crowd roars and some boo.

Kelcey pushes his foot off. She rolls over as Ace walks around. He shrugs before Cassidy points to him.

Sharper :”Cassidy giving Kelcey a piece of her mind, but Kelcey with the elbow drop. Ignoring Cassidy! Now the cover! The count! No!”

Ace kicks out.

Knots: “For now she’s ignoring her. Cassidy has a tendency to get more and more involved if she feels like it.”

Sharper: “This isn’t no dq-“
