The scene opens up with a shot of golden pillars as the camera sweeps up them and then cuts to a different angle, showing more golden arches and pillars, before the camera pans back to show the Rise to Greatness logo with a large XV behind it.

“And now…Rise to Greatness XV!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before the scene cuts to the inside of the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The camera focuses on the entrance way as pyro shoots out from along the rampway and into the air before shooting out from the base of the entrance way and all around the large XV that is positioned in front of a Rise to Greatness logo and several big screens. Pyro shoots out all around the big screens and up and down the X and the V of the logo before another blast explodes from the stage and into the air. The crowd roars as the spotlights start to circle around the stadium. The cameras pan across the crowd, showing the many tens and thousands of fans cheering and jumping up and down, making noise for SCW’s premier event.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the fifteenth edition of the biggest event in professional wrestling. Welcome to Rise to Greatness!”

The cameras continue to pan throughout the Rogers Centre before we cut to a shot of the Thunderdome hanging over the ring. It holds on the shot for a moment before cutting to ringside and seeing Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here alongside Jonathan Knots. A pleasure to be here with you on a night where SCW will see four titles on the line. Five if you include EMERGE making an appearance later.”

Knots: “And capping it all off, the SCW World Championship on the line. Kennedy Street, my Kennie, she’s going to defend against that crazy bastard Giovanni Aries. Lizard King? He’ll be seeing visions of them after the Touch of Class.”

Sharper: “Not only that, tonight, for the final time, Regan Street and Selena Frost will face off against one another. Mr. D the special referee.”

Knots: “No holds barred too and it’s as personal as you can get. This is going to be nuts. And I can’t wait.”

Sharper: “Fourteen matches to come tonight. Thunderdome also makes an appearance. The first ever Fatal Five Way Tag Team Championship match. World Title contendership on the line later too. But we’re kicking it off with the number one contendership for the SCW Adrenaline Championship!”

The lights dim in the stadium as the screens all cut to black. The opening beats of “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps plays throughout the Rogers Center, with the lights flickering off and on with each beat. As it starts to play, we see the cameras pan throughout the crowd as spotlights circle the stadium. The cameras catch Christy Matthews as she is walking through the crowd on the floor, the crowd roaring as Christopher Richter clears a path in front of her.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the opening contest for Rise to Greatness XV is scheduled for onefall, has a twenty minute time limit and is for the number one contendership of the SCW Adrenaline Championship! First, from Overland Park, Kansas, accompanied by Christopher Richter, she is Christy Matthews!”

The nameplate comes up as Christy continues to walk through the crowd, the camera focusing on her as they make their way through. We cut to a wide shot to see her walking through the sea of humanity that makes up the crowd.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews, a former multiple time Adrenaline Champion, a former World Champion. She is looking to get another title shot out of tonight. A lot of people felt she would be one to face Ravyn Taylor. After CHBK and Ravyn Taylor’s attack on our timekeeper, she is now in this situation.”

Knots: “Not what she figured she’d be doing, but this is where she is. Opening us up and I’m sure she’s got plenty of reasons to go after Josh Hudson who attacked her a few weeks ago in a statement. Marie Jones too, she wants this. Marie is the one who wanted this match!”

Christy Matthews continues to walk to the barricade before she climbs up to the barricade and looks around, extending her arm as Christopher Richter holds her up. She continues to pose for a few moments before she hops over the barricade and to the floor. She then jumps onto the apron and climbs up the turnbuckle to the middle rope and looks around, posing in her mock-crucifix pose again. She looks around before she grabs the top rope and spins into the ring. She takes off her ring jacket and places it on the floor over the ropes. She then walks around the ring as Richter goes to her corner and Christy drops down to a seated position, looking out at the crowd. Her music fades out before we cut to “Haunted” by Taylor Swift echoing through the arena. The crowd cheers. A spotlight shines on the entrance way and a few moments pass before a wall of white pyro shoots out from the stage and into the air. The crowd roars before we see Marie Annabelle Jones walk out from the back, wearing her ring gear and her signature black leather jacket. She looks around the arena and soaks in the crowd for a moment.

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

Her nameplate comes up as she starts to make her way down the rampway. She ignores the fans on either side of her, just focusing on the ring as she walks down the lengthy rampway to the ring. She gets down to the ringside area and looks up and then hops onto the apron and looks into the ring. She turns and poses to the crowd as she looks around.

Sharper: “Marie Jones, we mentioned she wanted this match. She wanted Josh Hudson, the third member of this triple threat, to be in it. She wanted to prove herself tonight.”

Knots: “She’d rather be the SCW Adrenaline Champion though.”

Sharper: “Dylan Howell interfering her title match, attacking her. Some have said she had it won. That rivalry, between Dylan and Andrew Raynes, so heated. It will end tonight in the Thunderdome.”

Knots: “But now she needs to earn a rematch she thinks she should have!”

She then turns and look at Christy and grabs the top rope and slingshots herself into the ring. She then turns and goes to the nearby corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle. She looks around and then throws her arms in the air. Confidence is on her face as she looks around, the crowd cheering. Her music fades out before cutting to “Judas” by Fozzy. The camera cuts back to the entrance way as we then see Josh Hudson walk out from the back. He unzips his jacket and smirks as he looks down to the ring. He runs his hand across his face before stretching out. He then looks at the ring and starts to walk to the ring. His nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The third competitor, from New York City, New York, representing Past, Present, Future, he is Josh Hudson!”

Hudson just strides down to the ring, focusing on the ring. He also ignores the crowd as he walks down the rampway to the ring and to the ringside area. He then looks at the ring and slides underneath. He gets up and looks at Christy and then turns to Marie before backing up and turning to the corner and climbing up to the middle rope. He looks out at the crowd before throwing his arms up, shouting “I’m the best at what I do!” He then turns and looks back before jumping down and leaning back against the corner.

Sharper: “Josh Hudson may be the wildcard. Added to the match because of Marie Jones. He’s proven a willingness to do anything.”

Knots: “He’s already attacked Christy Matthews a couple of weeks ago to send a message and not a good one. Marie did nothing to stop him. But Josh Hudson, Trios Tournament winner this year. He can get it done.”

Sharper: “Only one winning here.”

The bell sounds and the crowd roars. Josh Hudson smirks and steps out Marie and Christy look at one another and Marie and Christy both run at Josh and kick him in the ribs. The crowd roars as Hudson bends over and Marie and Christy both hit repeated kicks to the ribs, offsetting them and Hudson falls back and into the corner and rolls to the floor, coughing and holding his ribs. Marie turns to go after Christy, but Christy spins through and nails her with a spinning back fist to the jaw. Marie staggers and Christy spins around her and into a school boy pin.

Marie kicks out. Both women get up and Christy forearms her in the jaw and then again, knocking her into the ropes.

Sharper: “Quick start here in this one. Both going after Hudson, but Christy immediately turning to Marie, remembering her inaction a few weeks ago.”

Knots: “Remembering any partnership is short-lived and going for Marie first!”

Christy grabs Marie and whips her across the ring. Marie hits the ropes, but Hudson grabs her by the legs and pulls her out to the floor. Marie turns and goes for a hard right. Hudson knees her in the ribs. Christy runs at the ropes and dives through with a tope through the ropes right onto Hudson and Marie. The crowd roars. Christy ends up flipping through, ending up on her back and rolling over in pain. Hudson and Marie slowly stir.

Sharper: “And Christy with the first risk of the night. Through the ropes!”

Knots: “She took as hard of a landing as anyone else. But at least there are no countouts!”

Sharper: “Adrenaline division rules. To encourage this fast-paced, high risk style.”

Marie turns and Hudson does as well. Christy turns holding her back. She then walks over and nails Hudson in the jaw with a hard right. Hudson staggers back. Christy turns back to Marie and grabs her. She then turns and rolls her into the ring. Christy rolls in after and goes for the pin.

Marie however takes her down with a drop toe hold into the middle rope. Christy winces. Marie grabs the top rope and springboards over and into a leg drop to the back of Christy’s head. Christy falls back and rolls over and Marie gets up, but Hudson enters and runs across, forearming Marie, knocking her off the apron and into the barricade. He dives onto Christy.

Sharper: “Marie with the leg drop and Hudson trying to steal it early!”

Knots: “Experience coming into play!”

Hudson runs over and grabs her and flips her into the ring. Marie rolls over and stirs and Hudson grabs her and knees her in the ribs. He then gutwrenches her up and suplexes her over.

Hudson turns and gets up and turns to Marie who jumps up and dropkicks him in the jaw. Hudson staggers back to the corner. Marie gets up and runs at him and nails him with a running forearm. She chops him. The crowd woos. Hudson spins her into the corner and knees her in the ribs. He then grabs her and smirks before going for a hip toss out of the corner, but Marie flips through and lands on her feet. Hudson looks a bit stunned before Marie immediately nails him with the Pele Kick. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Backflip kick. Right to Hudson. Hudson didn’t believe it that Marie landed on her feet!”

Knots: “Marie came with a purpose!”

Sharper: “She wanted this match, as we’ve said and she’s definitely, for my money, the most athletic of the three.”

Hudson grabs at the ropes and Marie turns and sees Christy getting up and nails her with a forearm shot and then another. She then grabs her by the head and runs up the corner and over the top rope and drops her throat first on the top rope. Christy falls back to the mat. Marie lands on the floor and Hudson reaches out and grabs her. Marie gets up on the apron and manages to hit a quick kick to the head of Hudson. Hudson staggers back.

Knots: “Marie needs to step in this time!”

Christy reaches around as Hudson gets it locked in and starts to pull down on the leg while it’s around his neck. Christy continues to frantically try to do anything to limit the leverage, but Marie then waits a few moments, clearly watching as Christy keeps trying and Marie then runs over and hits a chopblock to the back of Hudson’ leg.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews may have wanted Ravyn Taylor tonight. She instead gets an Adrenaline Championship opportunity!”

Knots: “A title she knows well. Hudson still smarting out of the ring. Marie…I don’t know if she’s liking how her aggressiveness paid off tonight.”

Sharper: “I doubt she will, but if you think this will be it for her desire to get an Adrenaline Title shot, you’re wrong. Now let’s take a look at some of this action.”

REPLAY:

The RTGXV logo comes up on the screen as we see Christy Matthews diving through the ropes onto Hudson and Marie, taking the hard landing on the floor, flipping through. We then cut to another part of the match to show Marie grabbing Christy by the head from behind and Hudson catching her from behind, running up to the middle turnbuckle before we see the reverse superplex/German suplex combination and the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Just an impressive match with all three looking for those openings. The suplexes there. We thought that could be Hudson’s moment to win.”

We focus on him, holding his jaw, dazed before we cut to a new shot to see Christy grabbing Marie and hitting the Happily Never After. The crowd roars. Christy covering Marie is the final scene.

We then open up to see Christy Matthews looking out at the crowd, while celebrating with Christopher Richter in the ring to make sure no one tries something. Hudson starts to head to the back, clearly annoyed as Marie Jones remains at ringside.

Sharper: “Christy Matthews victorious to kick us off here on Rise to Greatness!”

Knots: “And it’s just the start tonight.”

The camera remains focused on Christy for a few more moments before we cut to ringside.

At ringside, we see a shot of the newest members of the SCW Hall of Fame, Class of 2018. We first see Devon Kayl at ringside with Skylar Desoubrais.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, please take a moment and congratulate the members of SCW Hall of Fame, Class of 2018! First…accompanied by his wife, Skylar, Devon Kayl!”

The crowd cheers as Devon stands up and holds his arm up and looks around. We then see him turn and quickly grab his cell phone and start to record a video. The camera pans over.

Phillips: “Next, accompanied by his wife, Marina Trent, Shilo Valiant!”

Echoes of “NECRO!” exclaim from the crowd as we see Shilo Valiant standing up and smiling as he waves at the crowd. He just smiles as he scans it for a few moments.

Phillips: “And finally, accompanied by the returning Chris Cannon, Kelcey Wallace!”

The camera pans over as Kelcey Wallace stands up, next to Chris Cannon, and waves to the crowd. She turns to those behind her too as we continue to see Kelcey enjoy the moment.

Phillips: “Your SCW Hall of Fame, Class of 2018!”

Sharper: “And Jake Starr also part of that. He’ll be in action later tonight. But a nice touch to allow these hall of famers a moment before the crowd here.”

Knots: “All of them have had plenty of Rise to Greatness moments in the past. Nice for them to be a part of this.”

“Rise Up” by Asking Alexandria starts to play throughout the arena before the first drumbeat leads to the stage to light up in white. AJ Helms stands in the middle of the stage with his back to the fans, the hood of his sleeveless jacket over his head. He spins around before throwing the hood back and his arms up in a Self High Five. He holds the pose for a few moments before looking around and then jumping up and breaking the hands apart as pyro shoots from both sides of the stage and into the air. He looks around as spotlights start to circle the arena before Helms smirks and starts to walk to the ring. His nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit. First, from Asbury Park, New Jersey, fighting out of Hollywood, California, representing Past, Present, Future, he is A.J. Helms!”

Helms makes the long walk to the ring as the camera follows him down. AJ Helms looks out at the crowd.

Sharper: “Helms in a different frame of mind that in previous years. Two years ago, he was in a hardened feud with Chris Cannon. Last year, we all know the issues he had with Lexi von Aaron. Tonight, he’s firmly aligned with part of his family and there’s a smile on his face.”

Knots: “He’s taking one a former World Champion and one that has a problem with him doing something he should’ve done a long time ago. Focused on himself. So he left her to get attacked by Xander Valentine when Alexis Quinne had antagonized Xander for weeks!”

Sharper: “And Xander started by being a bully. AJ let a bully be a bully all to save his own hide! Six months ago, he’d never have stood for that!”

He gets to the bottom of the ramp and then runs to the ring and jumps up, sliding in legs first and then jumping up and running to the far corner and up to the middle turnbuckle. He throws his arms up into another Self High Five. He then pushes back and breaks his hands apart and turns to the middle of the ring. He walks around the ring before storming over to the ropes and leans out, yelling out the word “BANG!” before throwing off his jacket. He then looks around as the crowd boos him some as he backs up to his corner with his music fading out. “A Stranger I Remain” by Free Dominguez starts to play throughout the area. Violet and white lights flash all of the stage before we see smoke start to billow out from under the stage and covering it. The lights continue to flash before we see Alexis Quinne walk out dressed in a purple bodysuit with purple gauntlets on her hands, purple boots and yellow contacts in her eyes. She slowly turns her head, looking in both directions. The camera pans down to show Alexis still holding El Rudo’s mask in one hand and a baseball bat in the other.

Phillips: “His opponent, from San Francisco, California, she is Pint-Sized Awesomeness, she is Alexis Quinne!”

The nameplate comes up as she starts to walk forward and then starts to walk down to the ring.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne dressed as Unknown in Tekken, the video game series, she tells me.”

Knots: “You don’t know what a video game is Sharper.”

Sharper: “I do know she’s sending a message, but also, you see the baseball bat, ready for Past, Present, Future, if they show up, and the memorial of El Rudo, still clutching that mask.”

She continues on her way to the ring, the camera following her down. She makes her way to the ringside area before sliding the mask and the bat in before walking up the steel steps. She then enters the ring and gets up and goes to the corner and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle, looking around, as the crowd cheers. She jumps down and goes over to the baseball bat before turning and looking at AJ. AJ points at it as the referee tells her to put it down. She then turns and pushes it out of the ring before grabbing El Rudo’s mask and placing it on the top of the ring post. She then turns and looks across at AJ Helms.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne made sure AJ knew that she did not forget what he did.”

Knots: “And AJ Helms doesn’t care! He can beat a former World Champion tonight!”

The bell sounds. AJ steps out and Alexis does too. The two watch one another and Alexis then lunges at AJ. AJ moves out of the way. Alexis slides to her stomach. She gets up and lunges again. AJ moves out of the way again. Alexis gets up and AJ moves in and pushes her back into the corner. He then knees her in the ribs and then whips her across the ring. AJ runs after and Alexis moves out of the way. AJ stops at the corner. Alexis turns and kicks him in the ribs and then again before forearming him in the jaw. AJ falls to the ropes. Alexis goes to whip him across, but AJ spins through and sends her in. Alexis hits the ropes and AJ hits a hip toss. He goes to grab her, but Alexis pushes him off with her feet.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne showing that aggressiveness. She needs to remember though that she’s the smallest one in there.”

Knots: “What do they say about heart and small dogs?”

Sharper: “It’s the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, if Alexis isn’t careful, AJ will just make sure she can’t fight!”

AJ gets up and Alexis gets up and forearms him again. AJ staggers back. Alexis runs into the ropes. She bounces off and AJ goes for a clothesline. Alexis ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a front dropkick. AJ hits the mat. Alexis goes for the pin.

AJ kicks out. Both get up and Alexis kicks him in the ribs. She then grabs his arm and wrenches it. AJ winces and AJ pushes up and into the ropes. He then steps back and pulls Alexis in, pulling him into his foot as he hits a rolling takedown. Alexis rolls over and gets up and turns to AJ Helms who jumps up and hits a dropkick of his own, nailing her in the face. AJ goes for the pin.

Alexis gets her shoulder up. She turns and AJ grabs her and pulls her up to her feet. AJ then hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex.

Sharper: “Helms, nice suplex.”

Knots: “Don’t need to do a lot. I know he loved to do the flips and everything. Just wear your opponent down.”

Sharper: “He was well trained by David Helms and Tommy Valentine. Now getting that seasoning from Josh Hudson and Regan Street.”

AJ hits a leg drop and goes for another pin.

Quinne kicks out. Helms rolls off. Quinne starts to get up and Helms grabs him and pulls her up. He then whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Helms scoops her up, but Quinne spins through and lands on her feet. She forearms him and then jumps up and hits an enziguri kick. Helms staggers and falls to a knee. He starts to get up and Quinne runs into the ropes again, bounces off and hits the Boomerang. She goes for the pin.

AJ kicks out. Quinne turns and starts to get up. She then stirs and pulls AJ up and turns and snapmares him toward the corner. She starts to pull AJ and seats him in the corner. Quinne walks around the ring and then runs at the corner, but AJ pulls himself out and somersaults out of the way. Quinne hits the bottom corner. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “No one home. AJ Helms rolling out of the way.”

Knots: “There’s the quickness in a way that matter. Grab the rope and flip out of there.”

Quinne starts to get up and moves forward and Helms then runs at her and hits a running bulldog. He rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Quinne kicks out. She turns and starts to get up and Helms pulls her up and places her head between his legs. He then hoists her up and drops her with a release powerbomb. The crowd ohs. Helms then smirks and looks at Quinne before turning and jumping to the middle rope behind him and hitting a moonsault. He hooks the leg.

Quinne pushes him off and Helms rolls off. He shakes his head and starts to get up. Quinne turns and slowly pulls herself up and Helms grabs her and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Helms bends over a bit early only for Quinne to counter with the Lexy Stretchy Hold. The crowd roars. She tries to pull on his arm, but Helms blocks it. He keeps trying to block it and AJ keeps trying to move the arm and manages to shift her into a crucifix position and hooking her head. Quinne tries to fight, but Helms spins her out and into a bulldog. The crowd ohs and Helms rolls off. He then turns and smiles, almost laughing in confidence.

Sharper: “I’ve never seen a bulldog out of that. From the crucifix position into a spinning bulldog!”

Knots: “Quinne went from thinking she had AJ, but AJ caught her. Looks like Hudson and him have been working a bit together!”

Helms turns and stomps Quinne in the face and then again. He walks around the ring and then notices the mask on the ringpost. He then smirks before walking over. He shakes his head and grabs the mask. He then turns to Quinne.

Helms: “Still carrying this around?”

Helms shakes his head and then puffs it out before then turning and going to put it on. AJ Helms then turns to Alexis Quinne and smirks before walking over and stomping her in the face. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Come on AJ.”

Knots: “I love this. He’s right! She’s been holding onto that for over a year!”

Sharper: “A symbol of the betrayal she suffered with the end of PUNK HAZARD. And AJ Helms is spitting on it…Good to know his adoptive mother is such a good influence on him!”

Alexis turns to the ropes. Helms grabs her and pulls her up and chops her. The crowd woos. He then whips her across the ring. Quinne bounces off and Helms goes to grab her, but she slides through his legs. The crowd roars. She gets up and sees Helms wearing the mask. Helms smirks through the mask and goes to grab her, but Quinne pushes the hand down and bites on it. The crowd roars as AJ yells out. Quinne then kicks him hard in the shin and AJ falls to a knee. She kicks out the other leg. He drops down and kicks him in the chest with a shoot kick and then another before grabbing the mask and pulling it off. She looks at it as AJ tries to get up and Alexis runs into the ropes, bounces off, holding onto the mask and hitting the Green Day. Quinne looks at him before turning and walking back over to the ringpost and placing the mask back there. Helms slowly rolls over, wincing in pain and Quinne looks at Helms, pure anger on her face and she runs at him and lets out a yell before nailing him with a shining wizard. She rolls through. Helms rolls over and bit and back to his back, holding his jaw in pain.

Sharper: “Quinne just unleashing on AJ Helms. The disrespect to the honour of her friend, her former ally, El Rudo.”

Knots: “Why did he have to poke the bear?!”

Sharper: “I thought you loved it?”

Knots: “Not now!”

She then grabs Helms and starts to pull him up and Helms shoves her back into the corner. Quinne runs out and clubs him in the back and then again. Helms then forearms her in the jaw. Quinne falls back to the corner. Helms moves in and knees her in the ribs before whipping her across the ring. She bounces off and Helms runs at her. Quinne ducks a clothesline and steps forward.

The crowd ohs and Helms yells out in pain. He rolls to his back, stamping his feet in pain. Quinne turns and steps to the ropes and climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. The camera gets a clear shot of Quinne’s face before she twists back and hits the Thousand Sunny!

Sharper: “Quinne! From the top! Thousand Sunny!”

Knots: “Jesus!”

Quinne hooks the leg.

The crowd roars and the bell sounds.

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

Quinne gets up and turns and goes back over to the mask. She looks at it before taking a breath and turning back to AJ Helms.

Sharper: “Alexis Quinne just finding another gear. She survive Xander Valentine a couple of weeks ago. Tonight, she just showed AJ Helms that he needs to be careful with his actions.”

Knots: “He poked the bear…He crossed a line with Quinne there.”

Sharper: “Or he’s just getting more and more overconfident. More and more attitude since siding with Past, Present, Future, and it burned him tonight. Biggest stage in wrestling and you just got schooled in respect!”

Quinne has her arm raised and she pulls away. She then looks over at Helms as the camera focuses on her for a few moments longer.

Sharper: “As Alexis Quinne enjoys the feeling of victory while also the feeling of some comeuppance handed to AJ Helms, Helms is a future, according to PPF. We’ll see some of the future in a moment. EMERGE will be represented in just a moment. The EMERGE Championship on the line. And earlier this week, we had an opportunity to get comments from both the challenger, Kandis, and the champion, Peyton Rice!”

The RTGXV logo comes up on the screen. The scene opens to Kandis seated in what looks like an empty arena. All we can see is the row she's in, and the empty rows in front of and behind her. She's wearing a skin-tight red dress, the hem halfway up her thigh. With her legs crossed at the knee, Kandis has her arms stretched out over the backs of the seats next to her.

Kandis: “Congratulations Peyton. I really do mean that. You and Dylan had one hell of a battle and you came out on top, with no shenanigans. That's what I wanted to see, who the better fighter was that night, and in LA it was you. But like I told you on Twitter, don't get to comfortable, okay?”

She pauses for a moment.

“You saw what I did in LA, right? Everyone did. You bested ONE fighter, I outlasted an entire gauntlet. I started the gauntlet match, and one by one I picked them off, sending every single one of them home disappointed. Alex, Tommy... well, I can't claim to have beat him, someone attacked him backstage, which is a shame, and I hope he's okay. But then... .Kim Williams... gone. Finally, Drake Hemingway. There were a few moments I thought he had me, but in the end? I'm the one who stood tall, and I need you to understand that while you and most people may think I take things as a joke because of the way I choose to live my life outside of the ropes, when it comes to fighting? I take everything seriously. Ask Alex, Kim, and Drake about that.”

Kandis smirks a moment, but she shakes her head and returns to a serious tone.

Kandis: “Just before your match in LA you stood with the crowd, and claimed that we do this for them, because we're heroes. Sweetie, don't you dare be presumptuous enough to speak for all of us, okay? You're not the only one who was trained by someone well known and successful, but from what I can tell you ARE the only one who trots their name out as some flag to wave as proof that you're somehow better than the rest of us. No sweetie, you're not better than everyone else because of who trained you, and you're not some kind of hero to these people because you can do something they can't. Maybe you want to be. Maybe you want to be a role model.”

She looks at the camera.

Kandis: “I don't.”

She then pauses for effect.

Kandis: “I'm probably the worst person anyone would want to model their life after. But the thing is? I don't do what I do for anyone other than myself. I've had to fight for everything I have for my whole life, I learned a long time ago that no really gives a damn about me but me, and if I'm gonna get something, achieve something, I have to do it because I want to... not because other people expect me to or look up to me or any of that pandering BS. So go ahead and keep telling the masses you do this for them, hold up that belt and claim it's not just yours, but everyone's. Keep pandering, sweetie. I think you're just lying to yourself, you're feeding your ego with the cheers of the crowd and THAT is really why you do this.”

Kandis stands up, pulling the hem of her dress down to ensure it covers her ass.

Kandis: “Instead I am going to stand here alone, and tell the world that I fight for myself. Once we get into the ring doll, there isn't anyone in there to help you. It'll just be you and me, and while it's true you got me last time... that was last time. This is now, and you have what I want. I went through three back to back matches to earn this shot and Peyton... you really have no idea how hard someone who has had to scrap for everything her entire life is going to fight when the thing that she wants is dangling right in front of her.”

“The Emerge Championship might belong to you and all of those people for now... but come Rise to Greatness, I'm going into this just as full of endurance and thirst as I did in LA. And after I defeat you this time, that championship will be mine... and ONLY mine. I'm in this for me, and I make no apologies for that.”

Kandis blows a kiss to the camera as the RTGXV logo comes up on the screen.

We open up backstage at the Hall of Fame Show for SCW. Standing on the red carpet after the ceremony is over, everyone has gone home yet Peyton stands there in her silver long dress, strapless with open toed heels, nails polished white, made up beautifully. Staring at the SCW Hall of Fame sign behind her, she turns and speaks.

Peyton: “Tonight, was an incredible night, I watched in tears as a woman I looked up to accept her Hall of Fame induction. Kelcey Wallace…Naturally you ask yourself if one day you’ll be good enough to make it, in the same company of many legends. Do you ask yourself that Kandis? I doubt it, not seeing the business or this match like I do. The EMERGE Championship is a toy, a chance to wear something do bring attention and the boys to the yard.”

Peyton shakes her head.

Peyton: “You don’t know the first thing of what being the EMERGE Champion means.”

Peyton pauses for a moment.

Peyton: “David Helms, Tommy Valentine, Matty Stone, Brittany Lohan and Kelcey herself told me there would be a night like this where I will question myself, wondering if I will be nervous, not strong enough to stand on the grandest stage of them all and defend the title proving to the world that I am ready for the next step of my career and impress the SCW. I’m not taking anything away from you Kandis, you are a woman that at Invasion LA more than showed why you are the number one contender going through an entire gauntlet. No matter how it happened, you have a pinfall victory over me in a tag team match….”

The camera focuses on her.

Peyton: “And I have one over you in our last match.”

She continues.

Peyton: “All that though Kandis, doesn’t matter. We both can train until we fall on our faces, the past is the past, this is Rise to Greatness where the best throughout the years have been here making history and WE get that chance. WE re able to put on a show for the SCW, the wrestlers who may not know who we are and like Dylan Cent who thought I was a fake Champion, no matter how much respect you shoot at me, the fact remains you’ve shown me that you will do whatever it takes to win….”

Peyton shakes her head.

Peyton: “I won’t. I refuse to cheat myself and the fans of the SCW and more importantly? The woman who is now a Hall of Famer and Main Evented, this very show last year.”

She pauses for a second, the passion, the desire shows through her emotions, almost tearing up thinking of the match at RTG and the opportunity she must impress, a dream come true….

Peyton: “For almost two years I trained my butt off and yes, that maybe your biggest “asset” Kandis, this is your chance to get exposure and be the promiscuous gal of EMERGE that you already are, a dream to have the boys gawking all over with the title around your waist. That’s great, I have a different view of this, I want to stand in front of those I respect and admire, pattern myself after the ones who paved their way. So many matches that have made what this PPV is and SCW’s fifteenth anniversary here in Toronto, Canada. I’m nervous, I am proud to admit that Kandis because I know how dangerous you are. Thing is, in our last match I showed you how resilient and focused I AM. This title is more than just being the best in EMERGE…..It is about being the Future of the SCW and until you understand how important it is? I’m not letting you take it. I…..”

Peyton stops, looking surprised at Kelcey walking up to her in a beautiful long lavender gown, she has the EMERGE title in tow…

Peyton: “Kelcey?”

Kelcey: “I think you need this champ.”

Kelcey hands over the title, Peyton takes it, smiling, almost sobbing knowing how important this match is.

Kelcey: “Go ahead and finish.”

Peyton: “Thank you….”

Peyton turns back to the camera….

Peyton: “This title means so much but not as much as making my trainers & family proud. When it’s over Kandis, you’ll still be all ass and I’ll be Champ while Rising to Greatness.”

Kelcey and Peyton smile, the Perfect Ten puts her arm around the Champ….

Kelcey: “And that is what Peyton?”

Peyton: “Pretty Perfect.”

The RTGXV logo comes up on the screen.

The scene opens up with a shot of the crowd as the camera pans by before we cut to the announce table area at ringside.

Sharper: “Comments from Kandis and Peyton Rice. We’ll see the EMERGE Championship about to be defended. At this time, however, allow us to introduce you to some of our broadcast colleagues. First, our Spanish announce team, Carlos Perez and Miguelito Hernandez!”

The camera cuts to show the Spanish announce team.

Perez: “Gracias Adam! Es genial estar aquí en una noche en la que no solo veremos a algunos de los mejores de SCW en acción, sino que recordaremos la historia de los últimos quince años.”

Hernandez: “Mucho ha sucedido esta noche, pero algunos partidos importantes y no puedo esperar para ver lo que está por venir!”

The camera moves down to the French announce team.

Sharper: “And joining us also here at ringside, our French team, Pierre Broussard and Ahren Arachne!”

Broussard: “Une opportunité a été donnée, mais au fur et à mesure des opportunités, de nombreuses conséquences se présentent ici à Rise to Greatness!”

Arachne: “Ces conséquences sont ce qui va être intéressant. SCW pourrait sembler très différent quand cette nuit est terminée et que le changement est toujours bon!”

We then cut back to the English announce team where Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots are joined by Grace Morningwood.

Sharper: “And as we prepare for this match, we’ve been joined by one of the voices of EMERGE, Grace Morningwood. Welcome to ringside.”

Morningwood: “Frankie had his fun last night. I’m looking forward to this. This is huge. Huge for EMERGE. To compete in front of this crowd. And you’ve seen the issue at stake here. Kandis represents a show it and see style. Peyton Rice, coming from a bit of tradition.”

Knots: “Yeah, but is Peyton just putting more pressure on herself? Kelcey Wallace. Those are huge shoes to try and even try to follow. Kandis doesn’t have any of that. And well…”

Morningwood: “We’ll find out.”

The bell sounds as we cut to the ring to see Jason Phillips in the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a thirty minute time limit and is for the EMERGE Championship!”

The crowd cheers a bit. The opening base of “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mixalot starts to play throughout the Rogers Centre. The camera cuts to the stage as we then see Kandis walk out from the back, her arms in the air and smiling as she moves her hips a bit. She then slowly spins around as the music changes to a remix of the song. She continues to look around as the crowd roars before her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “First the challenger, from West Hollywood, California, she is Kandis!”

Kandis smiles as she dances a bit, intentionally drawing attention to her backside. She then continues down the rampway to the ring. The camera cuts to a wide shot of the crowd for a few moments before cutting back to Kandis who reaches the ring, as the music skips, with Kandis shaking her hips in time with the cuts.

“My anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon!”

She then walks up the steel steps and along the ropes before slapping her ass at the whip sound. She enters as she hops up and down. She looks around as the crowd looks on.

Knots: “What do you think about that Sharper? Future EMERGE Champion right there.”

Sharper: “To those unfamiliar with Kandis, she can compete in the ring. We’ve seen her in an SCW ring at the End of the Year Special. So despite the over the top antics regarding highlight her physical shape, she can compete.”

Morningwood: “No doubt about it. She uses it to her advantage too as we will see in this one.”

The stadium lights dim before “All The Days” by Mammoth plays throughout the area. A few moments pass before Peyton Rice walks out from the back in her wearing gear and jacket, the EMERGE Championship around her waist, slightly covered by the jacket. She takes a deep breath and looks around at the fans and the full stadium before dropping down to a knee and drawing a line with her finger on the stage in front of her. She then crosses her arms and lowers her head before getting up and pointing to the ring and stepping forward as her nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Glendale, Arizona, she is the reigning and defending EMERGE Champion, “Pretty” Peyton Rice!”

She starts to walk to the ring, making the long walk down the rampway. The camera again pans back to show her walking down the ramp with the massive crowds on both sides. She reaches out and high fives a couple of fans as she continues to make her way to the ringside area. She then hops onto the apron and points out to the crowd. She looks at the EMERGE Championship around her waist and pulls it off and then looks into the ring before stepping through the ropes. She then walks over to the ropes and steps up onto them and holds the title up in the air. She bounces on it a bit before stepping back.

Morningwood: “Normally she’s a bit flashier.”

Knots: “Nerves?”

Morningwood: “Could be. We saw the pressure she put on herself in that promo before the match.”

Sharper: “Well both, Kandis and Peyton, neither have ever competed in front of a crowd of this size. We expect a confirmed number later, but we know it is north of sixty thousand.”

She hands the EMERGE title to the official who holds it over his head. The EMERGE Championship logo comes across the screen and goes to the bottom corner. Peyton takes off her jacket and places it on the outside. She turns back as Kandis and her look at one another. The bell sounds. Peyton and Kandis start to circle the ring. They keep their eyes on one another and lunge and lock up in the middle of the ring, pushing back on one another with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. They push back on one another. Kandis gets the advantage pushing Peyton back. She glances back, and Kandis keeps pushing and gets her back into the corner. She pushes back and Peyton leans back.

Kandis lets go and does a bit of a hip shake, getting a minor roar from the crowd. She backs up as Peyton looks at her with some disdain.

Sharper: “Kandis enjoying the first success here. A minor one.”

Knots: “But it gets in your opponent’s head.”

Kandis backs up and tells her to come in with a bit of a smirk. Peyton steps out and looks at Kandis and the two lock-up again. Kandis and Peyton push back on one another before Peyton ducks and grabs the arm. She slips a bit before instead kicking Kandis in the ribs. She locks in a side headlock. She pulls back on the head of Kandis. Kandis drags her to the ropes and pushes her across. Peyton bounces off and Kandis shoulders her down. The crowd looks on and Kandis runs into the ropes.

Kandis kicks out. Both women start to get up. Peyton follows up after Kandis and forearms her in the jaw.

Sharper: “Peyton staying on Kandis. May not be able to outpower her, but can use those strikes to move her around.”

Morningwood: “But Kandis is a noted striker herself. We saw that spin kick that just missed. She hits that, this turns around quick.”

Peyton chops Kandis in the chest before chopping her a second time. Woos follow. She then grabs Kandis and pulls her out and to the ropes. She fires her across. Kandis bounces off and Peyton jumps up and goes for a crucifix on the rebound and takes her down into a pin.

She grabs Peyton and whips her across the ring and Kandis runs after and jumps up and hits a running backsplash into the corner. Peyton falls to a knee and Kandis walks forward.

Sharper: “And Kandis driving herself into Peyton.”

Knots: “Using what God gave her then.”

Sharper: “One way to look at it.”

Kandis then turns and grabs Peyton and pulls her up and drives her face first into the mat. She then gets up and hits a leg drop. The crowd ohs and Kandis rolls her over for the pin.

Both women get up and Peyton kicks her in the ribs and hits another chop. She then turns and grabs her and hits a Russian leg sweep. She gets up and turns and exits to the apron.

Peyton starts to get up and holds the EMERGE Championship in her hands and looks around. She goes over to the corner.

Sharper: “Two members many feel will be the future of SCW leaving it all in the ring.

Morningwood: “Both beautiful and deadly, but only one walking out victorious tonight. The first EMERGE match on the biggest stage and Peyton Rice holds that victory and retains the title!”

Peyton continues to celebrate as the camera focuses on her and we then see Mika Kozlov stepping over the barricade and forcing her way to the ring. She rolls into the ring and stands behind Peyton as Peyton continues to hold the title up. The crowd roars as Mika Kozlov just smiles, looking at her. Peyton notices her on the big screen and stops before dropping down. She turns to Mika before the crowd cheers as we see Jason Dillinger starting to run down from the back.

Morningwood: “Mika Kozlov! She’s in the ring!”

Sharper: “She came from the crowd and SCW fans should be familiar with her.”

Morningwood: “She’s standing eye to eye with Peyton Rice!”

Knots: “We have company…”

Morningwood: “Jason Dillinger coming down, clearly to protect Peyton Rice. Mika Kozlov is unpredictable!”

Dillinger runs down to the ring, but then stops as he slows down to the ringside area. Peyton looks at Mika before we notice Celeste Mallory and Violet Skyy standing on opposite ends of the run at ringside. Dillinger stops and turns to Celeste before Violet before seeing Mika and just then, we see Celeste and Violet both lunge at Dillinger and Violet goes low as Celeste goes high and they take him down with the Conundrum on the floor.

Sharper: “Celeste Mallory! Violet Skyy! My God! They’ve taken out Dillinger!”

Knots: “An ambush!”

Morningwood: “This was expected. They expected Dillinger to come out! Or maybe they planned to do worse to Peyton?!”

Peyton turns and Mika grabs her and holds her back as Celeste then turns and runs over and kicks Dillinger in the ribs as he rolls over and Violet follows with a running kick to the head, just to ensure he stays down. They then start to grab him and slowly start to drag him up the rampway. Peyton tries to get free, but Mika turns and throws her down, intentionally so she’ll roll out of the ring, ending up on the other side of the ring from the attack. She turns and winces, showing some of the effects of the match before Mika smiles and looks at Peyton before backing up and exiting the ring. Celeste and Violet keep dragging Dillinger to the back and Mika drops down to the floor and joins them. She glances back, watching Peyton as she gets back up.

Morningwood: “Peyton stopped from helping and Serotonin is dragging Dillinger to the back?!”

Sharper: “Peyton still hurt from the match. All of the joy of victory gone.”

Knots: “She’s at least EMERGE Champ…for now.”

Kandis looks on from the floor as Peyton start to walk around the ring. Mika glances back before she starts to pull on Dillinger too. The cameras follow as they drag him slowly up the rampway before we cut away.

Backstage we see a split screen of Giovanni Aries on the left, meditating as he is seated cross-legged with some incense burning in front of him. On the right, we see Kennedy Street hanging up her ring attire on the hook in her locker room. The crowd cheers seeing both of them.

Sharper: “Thank you to Grace Morningwood for joining us and we’ve just see the EMERGE Championship on the line, but the World Title still to come.”

Knots: “Kennedy, it’s hers. She’s going to do everything to keep it, but with Giovanni Aries challenging.”

Sharper: “Kennedy laser-focused. Giovanni meditating, but don’t let his calmness fool you. He’s been quite aggressive in this match. Seeing it as a way to lure out the Lizard King.”

We continue to see the two in their preparations before we cut to ringside.

The scene opens up with a wide shot of the crowd, slowly panning across, showing the fans in attendance.

Sharper: “Next folks, we’re going to see the first ever Fatal Five Way tag team match for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.”

Knots: “Normally it’s four teams, you have someone at each corner. But this…only four corners!”

Sharper: “And that’s where the twist occurs. The rules for this historic match are as follows…”

We then see a graphic come up with the rules on the screen.

Sharper: “First, two teams will start in the ring. The other three will be in their respective corners. If one team is tagged in, both members of the team is in. The two active teams, they compete as if this is Texas Tornado rules, both allowed in. Both can go for covers. And more importantly, this is the key – it’s one fall to a finish. Disqualifications and countouts are possible.”

Knots: “And how did we get here? Well, it all involved a little bit of a deal and a lot of suitors for a title.”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We open up with a shot of London and Paris Truelove hitting the Twin Killing on Celoso and El Cuervo. We see them celebrating. We then see Laura Steinbeck standing in the ring with her team.

Laura: “This match also makes clear just how obvious it is that London and Paris should be the next challengers to the SCW Tag Team Champions. You don’t need a man who calls himself the Devil. You don’t need a team that can’t even work together, forcing one member to stick with them. You don’t need a former drug addict and their idiot boyfriend. You need something truly beautiful and so nice, you will see it twice. You need the Truelove Twins with the Tag Team Titles!”

We then cut to show Dawn Lohan and Dante McCaffery backstage. As we hear them, we see Sophie James hitting Max Kane with the MMM at Taking Hold of the Flame, before showing David Callahan diving onto Dawn Lohan and then showing Sophie and David holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship.

Dawn: “We lost the titles Dante. It was a nice run, but it’s clear we’re too different.”

Dante: “You’re right about that. Being different. We hold up our end of an agreement. And Dawn, you’re going to help us get those tag titles back, or we’re going to make sure that this return is going to amount to a whole bunch of nothing else for you.”

Dawn watches them leave. We then cut to show Sophie James and David Callahan teaming up to face Har Megiddo before we see Dante McCaffery, Savali, Max Kane and Ms. Budde entering the ring.

Sharper: “The Network! They’re here and they’re going after the Tag Champs!”

Knots: “No Dawn though! Just everyone else!”

We see the three groups attacking each other, fighting each other before we see Sophie James and David Callahan down and Damian Angel yelling something in Latin before we see Damian Angel grabbing one of the World Tag Team Championship belts. He looks at it before tossing it in the ring and Max Kane then grabs one. Dawn Lohan is shown running down from the back. Har Megiddo backs off as we see Dawn Lohan sliding in and looking at Kane, taking the belt and tossing it down next to Sophie.

The scene cuts to show London and Paris Truelove talking to Dante McCaffery backstage before we cut to see the Truelove Twins in the ring with Sophie James and David Callahan. We see Dante McCaffery running down before showing the Trueloves hitting the Love in an Elevator on Sophie and pinning her.

Sharper: “And look at this! They’ve taken the win with Sophie distracted and now are standing over Sophie James while Dante McCaffery stomps away on David Callahan!”

Knots: “Looks like whatever they talked about last week worked out! The Truelove Twins want a shot at the World Tag Team Championship.”

We then cut to see Dawn Lohan and Max Kane backstage.

Dawn: “Don’t tell me you’re part of this?”

Kane turns to her.

Kane: “Say what?”

Dawn: “This deal with the Trueloves.

Kane: “And if I am?”

Dawn: “Then that settles it-“

Dawn goes to walk off, but Kane stops her.

Kane: “Nothing to settle. Look, we’re still looking to win. I’m still looking to jump off something high. I’m looking to have the world watch me. And you’re still Ms. Wonderful.”

Dawn: “What’s the deal then?”

Kane shrugs.

Kane: “Easy. Win the titles. They’re then London and Paris’.”

We cut forward.

Kane: “So Dawn…you got a question to ask yourself. We can pull in Savali or Parker or even Dante. I want you. Let me know. Want to get your hands on Har Megiddo or even the Trueloves. Be on the card. Or just watching from the sidelines. Wish I didn’t have to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m getting what I want and I like ya. At least we can enjoy the non-dirty stuff.”

We then cut to see Max Kane in the ring with the Network at ringside before we cut to see Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay running out from the back.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan coming out, but not alone! She’s here with Abigail Lindsay!”

Knots: “The one Lohan who hasn’t been in SCW full-time! She’s with Dawn Lohan!”

We see Abigail attacking Savali before showing Dawn Lohan looking at Max Kane. Ms. Budde attacks Dawn from behind before Sophie James and David Callahan are shown. They slide in before we see Abigail, Dawn, Sophie and David standing in the ring.

Mr. D: “It will be a bit different. A Fatal Five Way Tag Team match. One fall to a finish. For the World Tag Team Championship.”

We see shots of the Truelove Twins and shots with them talking with the Network or working with them.

Laura: “Hana, there is a deal. I’m surprised more people wouldn’t use their help. They are merely just speeding up the process. We all know that just like Sienna Swann should be the World Champion, London and Paris should be the World Tag Team Champions. It’s that simple. And the Network agrees…for a price, but one we’re willing to pay. Dawn didn’t want to go along. All that much better for us as we would rather make sure that we walk out the Tag Team Champions.”

Damian Angel watching as Har Megiddo destroys a team in the ring is shown.

Damian: “Whether it is the vanity or the blatant greed or just the naïve attempts to do the right thing, I have been annoyed enough in these efforts that some people need to fall, including the Network, including Sophie James and David Callahan and now, by proxy, the Truelove Twins and now Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay. They will all fall to our hands. Destruction comes to Rise to Greatness and the Tag Team Championship!”

Abigail Lindsay is shown walking to the ring with Dawn Lohan. We then focus on them in the ring.

Abigail: “I think I’m going to start my SCW career with a big of SCW gold and the Lohans are going to be on top, and the Network…you couldn’t afford us if you tried. To the Trueloves…I think everyone would rather see us than you two…Har Megiddo…bring your worst, we’ll still do more. And Sophie and David…you two are cool, but we’re taking your titles and we’re going to make it wonderful!”

We then cut to see Sophie James and David Callahan holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship as they walk to the ring.

Sharper: “We’ll see who will walk out the World Tag Team Champions this Sunday at Rise to Greatness!”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We cut back to a shot of the ring and Jason Phillips standing in the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, for a thirty minute time limit and is the first ever Fatal Five Way Tag Team Match for the SCW World Tag Team Championship!”

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo goes across the screen before fading in the bottom corner. “Just A Dream” by Nelly then starts to play as the crowd roars before starting to boo. The stage turns a shade of gold as blue flashes pulse from all over the entrance. We then see London and Paris Truelove walk out from the back, holding hands. They look around the Rogers Centre as they step forward and pose. Laura Steinbeck walks out a few strides behind them and smiles, scanning the stadium. Their nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “First, the first challengers, accompanied by Laura Steinbeck and representing Past, Present, Future, they are London and Paris, the Truelove Twins!”

They head down to the ring, with Laura Steinbeck a couple of feet behind them. Truelove Twins walk down the rampway and to the ring, the cameras following them down.

Sharper: “The Truelove Twins feel they should already hold the titles. They can prove they can be champions tonight-“

Knots: “Or Max Kane can come through for the Network and seal the deal!”

Sharper: “Part of the controversy of this match and we’ll explain more of it, but the Truelove Twins made a deal with the Network that if they win them, they will hand the Tag Team Champions to the Twins.”

They reach the ringside area and the Truelove Twins hop onto the apron and wait before both push down on the ropes as Laura Steinbeck walks up the steel steps and then enters the ring. Paris steps in first and London is next. They then walk to opposite corners and climb to the second turnbuckle. They look around and smile as Laura shows them off. They then hop down before both start to walk around the ring, awaiting their opponents as their music fades out. Max's Kane voice is heard through the PA system.

KANE!

MAX!

Kane!

“Suck My Kiss” then hits the PA system; the lights flashing in sync with the bass. After a few seconds, Max Kane is propelled from underneath the ramp into the air. The crowd oohs as he then lands on his feet and drops to his knees on the ramp, the camera right in his face. Max smirks to the camera before crawling towards it and then pulls himself up. He then looks around before turning back and smirking. He then yells out and raises his right arm in the air. Dante McCaffery and Jack Parker then step out from the back and join him on the stage.

Phillips: “Next, accompanied by Dante McCaffery and Jack Parker, representing the Network, he is the Rock and Roll Unicorn, Max Kane!”

Max then smiles as he starts to walk down to the ring. His nameplate comes up and the camera follows him down. He leans into the camera, talking into it.

Max: “Rise to Greatness! Rise to Greatness! I'm here! Rock n Roll Unicorn is here! "Mad" Max is here!”

Dante and Jack follow him down the rampway. Max keeps enjoying the moment as he nods on his way to the ring. He then starts to run down to the ring and hops onto the apron. He then slingshots himself into the ring and runs over to the corner and looks up, throwing his hair back before pointing out to the crowd. Dante climbs up onto the apron and motions for Max to come over. Max continues to play to the crowd. Laura can be seen looking at Dante. Max then hops down and backs up to the corner and nods, as Dante tries to talk to him. Kane takes off his coat and throws it to the floor as he continues to look around and soaks in the moment.

Sharper: “Max Kane is doing this solo and you saw the look from Laura Steinbeck to Dante McCaffery.”

Knots: “Dante didn’t look too good on Breakdown. He’s been off as of late. Max just took it upon himself. Here we are. And he’s right now just taking all of this in, like he’s been hit by some kind of drug.”

Kane’s music fades out before “Davidian” by Machine Head plays throughout the Rogers Centre. Malphas, Behemoth and Kali all step out from the back and onto the stage and look down at the ring. Malphas and Behemoth start to shove one another before Kali starts to do the same, joining in. The three keep pushing and shoving before Damian Angel steps out from the back and the three stop. They turn to Damian as Damian nods to the ring.

Phillips: “The next set of challengers, accompanied by Kali and Damian Angel, they are Behemoth and Malphas, they are Har Megiddo!”

The nameplate comes up as the four start to stride to the ring. Malphas and Behemoth lead the way with Kali behind them and Damian Angel walking down a couple strides behind them. The crowd boos them as they make their way down to the ring. They reach the ringside area and Malphas and Behemoth pull themselves onto the apron and into the ring. London and Paris exit the ring as Max Kane stays in. Dante snaps at him, telling him to leave as Kane just smiles, looking at them. Behemoth and Malphas turn to him as Damian Angel says something to them in Latin and they step back to their corner.

Sharper: “Kane is not leaving that ring and he’s been taunting Har Megiddo.”

Knots: “Well he is an idiot, so there’s that. I mean this is a man that enjoy jumping off high things and if he gets hurt, so be it! I would not be testing these two!”

We hear the sound of a motorcycle revving. A few moments pass before “Wreaking Havoc” by Skylar Grey starts to play. We then see Abigail Lindsay riding out from the back on a motorcycle and stopping at the top of the stage. She looks around and briefly takes off her helmet before nodding and looking around.

Phillips: “Next, first, she is Abigail Lindsay!”

The music then cuts out before we hear “Mz Hyde” by Halestorm starts to play. The crowd cheers loudly as Abigail glances back and a few moments pass before we see Dawn Lohan walk out from the back and look around. She smiles before turning to Abigail and nodding. Abigail then turns and puts her helmet back on before turning and grabbing a second helmet, hooked to the motorcycle and extending it to her sister. Dawn smiles as she walks over and grabs it.

Phillips: “And her partner, she is Ms. Wonderful, Dawn Lohan. Together, they are Lohan Country!”

The crowd cheers as Dawn’s music continues to play and Dawn gets on the back of Abigail’s motorcycle. Abigail revs the engine and then starts to ride down the rampway and over to the ring. The crowd roars as she drives down, gaining some speed before stopping at the ringside area. She then starts to slowly guide the bike around the ring, driving it around the ringside area. The Truelove Twins quickly hop onto the apron as Laura moves back, appalled by the Lohans as they drive past. Damian just watches them as Dante turns away. They drive around and stop at the entrance way. Dawn hops off and takes off her helmet. She turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up as the crowd cheers. Abigail takes her helmet off before turning and following her sister.

Sharper: “Coming down to the ring in style, the two sisters working together here. First time they’re teaming in SCW and with the titles on the line.”

Knots: “All because of Dawn backing out of the deal she had with Dante McCaffery.”

Sharper: “She was brought in to win the tag titles. They did that, but lost them at Taking Hold of the Flame. In the hope for the rematch, the Network made their deal with the Trueloves. Dante held Dawn to their original agreement. Mr. D didn’t see it that way and Dawn found another partner. That’s how we got this historic match.”

Abigail goes to the corner and looks around as Dawn does the same. They hop down as their music fades out. “Zero Absolute” by Stone Sour starts to play. The crowd roars as a few moments pass and David Callahan and Sophie James walk out from the back. Sophie James nods as she throws her arm in the air. David just scans the stadium. Both hold the SCW World Tag Team Championship belts over their shoulders. Sophie throws her hooded top back as she turns to David.

Phillips: “And finally, they are reigning and defending SCW World Tag Team Champions, they are David Callahan and Sophie James!”

Sophie then turns and bolts down the ring as the nameplate comes up. David Callahan turns and runs after her. The two run down the rampway as fast as they can before they both slide into the ring. Sophie smiles as she gets up and jumps up and runs over to the corner and hoists her title in the air. David follows in after and turns and goes to the nearby corner and does the same. He then hops down and looks around before handing the title to the official and Sophie jumps down and does the same. They all then look around and David starts to motion to leave the ring. Sophie just smirks before pulling him back in. The referee holds the titles up before handing them off. The music fades out.

Sharper: “Sophie James and David Callahan the reigning champions, winning them at Taking Hold of the Flame and tonight, they need to get through four other teams.”

Knots: “Looks like they want to start.”

Sharper: “Sophie James definitely a fighter and a fighting champion. David may want to play a different strategy, but Sophie keeping him in there.”

Knots: “So who is starting with them?”

Sharper: “Two teams starting. It’s a matter of who wants to have control. Remember, you need to be the legal team to have a chance to win the match.”

Dawn then steps forward and Abigail does too. The crowd roars. London and Paris happily exit as Kane looks over and nods and exits. Damian gets up on the apron and points to Har Megiddo to come to their corner. They do as Dawn and Abigail turn and look at Sophie and David. The crowd cheers seeing the four in the ring. The bell sounds and Abigail stands to David as Sophie turns to Dawn. Sophie and Dawn then lock-up as Abigail forearms David in the jaw and then again. Sophie and Dawn push back on one another and Abigail kicks David in the ribs. She then chops him. The crowd woos. David moves to the ropes and Abigail grabs him and goes to pull him out, but David spins through and sends her in. Sophie gets Dawn to the ropes and then turns and hits a hip throw as Abigail bounces off and David scoops her up. She turns and stands behind him. David turns and Abigail hits a spinning heel kick. He rolls over as Dawn starts to get up and Sophie kicks her in the ribs.

Sharper: “And you see this style. Two on two actively in the ring.”

Knots: “If you’re anyone outside of the ring. One of those three teams, you’re just going to wait for the moment.”

Sharper: “This is where the strategy comes into play.”

Knots: “And if you’re Kane, you’re on your own, so you need to pick your spot! Or you’ll have some pissed off twins!”

Sophie grabs her again, but Abigail grabs Sophie and forearms her in the jaw and then again. Sophie drops Dawn as she hits the ropes. Abigail whips her across. She bounces off the ropes and Dawn gets up and Abigail and Dawn hit a double Japanese arm drag. Sophie rolls over. Abigail turns and David clotheslines her down. He turns and scoops Dawn up and slams her down. She turns and Abigail starts to get up and David knees her in the ribs and snapmares her over. He then hits a dropkick. Abigail rolls over. David gets up and helps Sophie up. Sophie turns and Dawn turns to them and David scoops her up and slams her down again. Sophie turns and hits an elbow drop. She goes for the pin. David looks around.

Dawn kicks out. David turns as Sophie gets up. Abigail slowly pulls herself up and David scoops her up and Sophie turns and extends her knee and David throws her down to it. Abigail rolls over, holding her ribs. Sophie turns and David grabs Dawn. Sophie grabs her too and they push her to the ropes, firing her in. Dawn bounces off and Sophie and David go for a double backdrop, but Dawn flips through, landing on her feet and then jumps to the ropes and backflips back with a moonsault, knocking both down to the mat. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Incredibly agility from Dawn Lohan. Landing on her feet and then having the wherewithal to hit the springboard into a moonsault.”

Knots: “I’m stunned someone didn’t take the chance for a cheap shot though.”

Dawn turns and goes for the pin on David.

David kicks out. She turns and falls back and immediately, Malphas tags himself in as Dawn falls towards their corner. Abigail gets up and the referee tells Dawn to leave and motions to Har Megiddo. They enter as Sophie and David stir and Abigail slowly exits. Dawn backs up and Damian smiles. Dawn walks around, eying both Kali and Damian as Malphas walks over and clubs David in the back. Behemoth goes for Sophie and jerks her up in a double choke. The crowd ohs and Behemoth throws her down into the now neutral corner. Behemoth walks over and leans back, holding her back as Malphas clubs David hard in the back. And then again and again. Malphas then turns and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off and Malphas scoops her up for a sidewalk slam before Behemoth walks out and boots him in the face as he spins around. Malphas drops him down. He goes for the pin.

David shoots his shoulder up as Behemoth turns back to Sophie and Sophie uses the ropes and get up high enough with a double knee. She then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and dives off with a dropkick. The crowd roars as Behemoth hits the mat.

Sharper: “Har Megiddo doing what they do. Destroy.”

Knots: “Nearly already have taken out Callahan, but Sophie’s trying to fight.”

Sharper: “Trying to fight. Dropkick gets Behemoth off his feet!”

Sophie gets up and Malphas turns to her and nails her in the ribs. She winces and Malphas nails her again. He grabs her again and pulls her in, going for a short-arm clothesline, but Sophie grabs the arm, and jumps up and goes for a crucifix. She moves her arms and Malphas remains standing and smirks before Malphas walks forward. Sophie unhooks her legs and then swings down and forearm. She runs into the ropes. She bounces off and jumps up for a crossbody. Malphas catches her. He smirks as Behemoth starts to get up and David gets up and lunges, nailing Malphas with a burst lariat and knocking him back. Sophie is on top of him.

Behemoth pulls her off by the tights and throws her over. She rolls over and towards the corner and David turns and nails Behemoth with a hard right and then another. Max Kane the ntags himself in and the crowd roars. Sophie turns to him as Max climbs up. David nails Behemoth again before the referee tells him to leave. David turns and Behemoth boots him in the face. David hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Behemoth turns and Kane dives off and just throws himself at him with a somersault dive onto him!

Sharper: “Kane now in and doing what he does best!”

Knots: “Diving off something tall!”

Sharper: “I was going to say high-risk.”

Knots: “Well he’s doing high risk just by getting in the ring, by himself, with these two!”

Dante and Jack look on and Kane rolls through. Malphas stirs and Kane runs over and hits a running kick to the chest, knocking him back. He then turns and runs over to Behemoth as he gets up on his hands and knees and jumps up onto his back and does a pose. The crowd cheers him a bit before Kane jumps up and drives both of his knees into his back. He rolls through and turns and hits a dropkick to the head of Malphas, knocking him down. Kane then rolls off and turns to London and Paris.

Kane: “Nothin’ to worry about, ladies.”

Kane winks before turning back and hitting a running senton backsplash to Malphas. He rolls over and Behemoth grabs at the ropes, pulling himself up and Kane turns and looks at him.

Sharper: “Kane coming in and doing a lot of damage.”

Knots: “He’s keeping these two down?!”

Sharper: “Smiles forming on the mouths of the Truelove Twins, but…”

Kane then smirks and lunges and goes for the headbutts. He hits it and Behemoth falls back into the ropes. Kane staggers back and smiles. Laura Steinbeck, meanwhile, can be seen talking to Dante and Jack, getting a bit animated before backing off. He then turns and looks around before going to the neutral corner and climbing up to the top rope. The crowd roars and Kane looks around. He then extends his arm and dives off and goes to nail Malphas with something, but Behemoth runs out and catches him. He then stumbles forward before stopping and Malphas gets up. Behemoth turns to him as Kane kicks his legs and Behemoth hoists him up and into a press and Malphas grabs him too. They look at each other before Damian smiles and the two run toward the ropes and then throw him forward, lawndarting him over the top rope. Kane kicks his legs frantically as he plummets down to the floor right in the rampway and hits the floor and rolls over into a heap. The crowd erupts in awe as the crowd ohs. Malphas and Behemoth back up and smile. (1)

Sharper: “Oh my God! Kane launched through the air and crash landing in the rampway!”

Knots: “Welp! Kane can’t be thrown into orbit! He just found that out!”

Sharper: “But he can be counted out! And if he is, Sophie and David retain! Damian knows this!”

Damian starts to say something to Malphas and Behemoth, but before they can respond, we see Jack Parker and Dante McCaffery heading to Max Kane. The referee then drops down and rolls to the floor and goes over to check on Kane as Malphas and Behemoth start to head over, and just then, we see London and Paris enter the ring for the first time. As they step to the ropes, London and Paris run over and hit dropkicks on the two big men. Malphas stumbles forward and into the ring as Behemoth does too and London turns to Paris and they go to Behemoth as the referee checks on Kane. Paris and London back up and then lunge and nail Behemoth with the Double the Pleasure. The crowd ohs and Paris turns as Malphas turns and lunges and goes for a double clothesline on both. Paris and London duck. They both hit then hit him with the Double the Pleasure. The crowd ohs as the official backs up to the ring. Paris and London exit and smile, laughing a bit before high-fiving each other and returning to their corner. The official gets up and starts his count as Max is helped up by Dante and Jack. (1)

Sharper: “The referee going to check on Kane. We’ll take a look at that, but the Truelove Twins, doing the damage to Har Megiddo and Damian Angel is trying really hard not to lose it.”

Knots: “And imagine if this was Fatal Four Way rules, this would be nuts!”

Damian looks across as London and Paris smile. Kane is helped up. (2)

REPLAY:

We see Malphas and Behemoth with Kane up and then they run towards the ropes and launching him over the top rope. Kane falls through the air and hits the ground, rolling through after impact. The RTGXV logo comes up on the screen as we see the same move again, this time, from a shot in the entrance way, watching Kane’s eyes widen and a small smile on his face before he then start to crash to the rampway and hits hard before rolling through.

Paris runs over and hits a running dropkick, knocking Malphas back down. They turn back to Behemoth as London grabs him and nails him in the back and then again and again. They push Behemoth over to the corner and London and Paris both kick him in the ribs a bit before Paris drops down.

Abigail rolls over and she winces and falls into the corner and Paris runs over and hits another dropkick. Abigail falls over and Paris rolls over before noticing Abigail is in Kane’s corner. Kane leans back, his back to the ring.

Abigail winces and Dawn turns and starts to get up. Sophie and David grab her and they drag her across and over to their corner. David runs her face first into the top turnbuckle. She staggers back and Sophie scoops her up and slams her down. She then turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope and David points up. Sophie gets to the top rope and Sophie then grabs his arms and David flips her forward and into a flipping senton onto Dawn. The crowd ohs. Sophie turns and hooks the leg. David runs over and nails Malphas with a shot and then tries to keep Behemoth out as they’re back up.

Kane breaks it up. He staggers back as the crowd roars. David turns and looks at him and Kane winces as he gets up and David clotheslines him down. He turns around and Behemoth and Malphas then enter as Sophie gets up. David turns and Malphas and Behemoth both drill him with a clothesline. They turn to Sophie and Sophie ducks a clothesline from Malphas and nails Behemoth with the 7-Seb. The crowd roars and Behemoth stumbles back. She turns around and Malphas scoops her up and hits a front slam. He then gets up and the official tells him to get out and we then see Abigail climbing up to the Har Megiddo corner. Damian goes to get up, but we see Jack Parker running over and nailing Damian with a shot, knocking him down. Kali turns and goes for Jack as the crowd roars. She tackles him down as Abigail waits for Malphas to turn and Abigail dives off and hits the Serenity Now! The crowd erupts in cheers and Malphas rolls over.

Sharper: “Serenity Now! But it’s on Malphas!”

Knots: “Gets rid of them!”

Sophie rolls over as David Callahan stirs and Kane rolls over. London and Paris re-group and watch as Parker tries to get Kali off of him. Dante runs over and grabs at her and Damian turns and walks over and nails Dante with a hard right. Dawn rolls to the apron as Abigail turns and starts to get up and turns around and grabs David. She nails him with a hard right andthen another. David falls to the corner. London hops onto the apron, looking to get the tag as Kane rolls back over to corner. Abigail then pulls him out and goes to whip him across. He hits the corner chest first and Abigail runs at him and David moves out of the way. She jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a springboard clothesline. She rolls through and gets up and turns to Sophie who grabs her and hits a DDT. The crowd ohs. Abigail rolls through. Sophie turns and grabs her and pulls her up. She then drags her up as Dawn climbs up to the top rope. Sophie then hits a snap suplex. Just as she hits the mat, Dawn dives off with the New Dawn onto her. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “My God! The timing! Abigail slammed down and in the split second Sophie was down! Dawn hit it!”

Knots: “Sophie didn’t see her coming!”

London and Paris already start to get in. They get up and Dawn slowly gets up and London kicks her in the ribs. Paris grabs her too. They then fire her into the ropes. She bounces off and both hit a double spinning heel kick. They turn before we see Kane shrugging and climbing up in the corner. The crowd roars. Just then, we see David Callahan stirring as London and grabs him and Paris does too. They turn to Kane. Kane just nods as Jack Parker continues to battle with Kali. Dante looks up and Kane dives off with a diving cannonball, but David pulls London and Paris in and he takes all of them out. The crowd roars. Kane rolls over and Abigail suddenly dives onto Sophie. She hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, and new SCW World Tag Team Champions…Lohan Country, Dawn Lohan and Abigail Lindsay!”

The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Lindsay snuck in. She recovered enough to take advantage of the New Dawn!”

Knots: “And Kane took everyone out, not just Callahan! You idiot!”

Sharper: “And Lohan have a hell of a moment here at Rise to Greatness. The Lohans are Tag Team Champions!”

Abigail starts to get up as Dawn stirs. The referee hands one belt to Dawn and the other to Abigail as Damian gets Kali away from Jack who looks over at him. Kane turns and winces as the crowd cheers. Dawn and Abigail hold their titles up over their heads. They continue to enjoy the moment as Laura Steinbeck just glares at Kane before we see London, Paris and David stirring. Sophie remains down as Har Megiddo get up on the floor. Dawn and Abigail continue to celebrate as we cut away.

Backstage, Spirit Dansby is shown standing next to Donovan Kayl while he is in his locker room.

Spirit: “Spirit Dansby here and I’m with Donovan Kayl and tonight, you’ve put a lot of pressure on yourself but also, we heard Mr. D say he didn’t want an anchor-“

Kayl: “First off, nice for you to start with some pleasantries. We all know who you’re cheering for. No need to hide it with me. As for pressure, all of the best put that on themselves. I did at Taking Hold of the Flame and wasn’t good enough. Tonight, I’m here in my hometown…in Toronto!”

The crowd cheers.

Kayl: “And I’m undefeated at this event. An interesting factoid but something I can take some pride in and something I’m using to remind me that I can get it done on the biggest stage and against some of the best wrestlers in the world. So I’m ready for this opportunity. And I’ve said it time and time again, I know what I’m up against. But I also know what I stand for and what I feel needs to take place tonight. And at the end of the night, no matter who wins, they’re going to earn it. I just plan to make that person me!”

Spirit: “Thank you for your time…and good luck.”

Kayl: “We both know you don’t mean that. But say hi to Sienna.”

Kayl sits down and goes back to his gear as Spirit nods and walks off.

“This is How a Heart Breaks” plays throughout the arena. The crowd gives a loud mixed reaction as we see the cameras cut to the entrance way where we see the RTGXV logo a mix of white and red. The cameras focus on the entrance way still.

Sharper: “Now is he going to show up?”

Knots: “If he doesn’t, Ravyn Taylor’s gone too. This could be a hell of a night!”

The music continues to play before we finally see CHBK walk out from the back, wearing a red and white robe, hooked together by a clasp in the centre. He walks forward to the middle of the stage and looks around. He then scans the Rogers Centre as the crowd continues to give him a mixed reaction. He then takes a few steps forward and drops down to a knees extending his arms as pyro shoots from both ends of the stage and across, shooting high into the air. He then pulls himself up.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, representing Dark Fantasy, he is the Canadian Heartbreak Kid!”

The crowd roars as his nameplate comes up and CHBK starts to walk down to the ring. He unclasps his robe, letting it hang as he continues down the rampway. He makes his way down before getting to the ringside area and goes to the steel steps. He walks up them and along the apron before stepping into the ring. He then spins around in the middle of the ring before stopping. He then steps back a moment before dropping down and posing in the middle of the ring with his arm in the air. He remains there for a moment before he gets up and slides off his entrance attire. He turns and lifts it up and drops it over the top rope to a ring crew. He then starts to walk around the ring.

Sharper: “He’s actually here. He’s in his gear, ready to go.”

Knots: “Well now we can see what happens if Trinity and CHBK have a match that doesn’t involve him handcuffed.”

Sharper: “Retribution 2016. CHBK sacrificed his career to ensure Trinity Street was gone. Monarchy tapered off and now, Trinity being brought back by Mr. D to do essentially the same thing.”

The chimes of “Awake & Alive” by Skillet start to play as we see a flame start to burn in the middle of the stage. It dances in the air for a few moments before it suddenly goes out. Spotlights start to circle the arena and we then see Trinity Street walk out from the back, wearing a gold and black hooded trenchcoat with bell-bottomed tights. She looks down at the ring and smiles a bit as she cracks her neck.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Malibu, California, she is Trinity Street!”

She then starts to make her way to the ring. The crowd cheers her as she focuses on CHBK who is in the ring. CHBK watches her as Trinity Street continues to make her long walk down the rampway. She then stops at the end of the entrance way and takes off her trenchcoat. She drops it down on the floor. Trinity then walks over to the ring and hops onto the apron. She looks at CHBK. CHBK starts to step out of the ring. Trinity just keeps her eyes on him, waiting a moment, before stepping into the ring. She then turns and goes to the corner and steps up. She closes her eyes and extends her arms as the crowd cheers her. She just looks up before the camera angle changes.

Knots: “She’s watching the big screen. Almost daring CHBK to attack her! I love this!”

Sharper: “Two veterans. Both very accomplished in that ring. We’ll say it once and say it again, no matter what CHBK has become today, he is one of the figures that made SCW, built this event and this promotion on his back. Trinity Street has done the same elsewhere and her impact on SCW is huge too.”

Trinity continues to watch before turning and hopping down. She then slowly turns around and looks at CHBK. CHBK continues to lean back in the corner, watching her. She backs up and continues to lean back in the corner as her music fades out. The two continue to eye one another as the referee checks on both and then calls for the bell. The crowd roars and CHBK immediately steps through the ropes and to the floor. Trinity looks on and rolls her eyes as the referee turns and starts to count. (1) CHBK just stands in front of the announce tables with his hands on his hips. (2) Trinity looks around as the crowd boos. (3)

Sharper: “Come on. CHBK is now going to let himself be counted out. I mean he did show up…”

Knots: “Just showing how far he’s fallen.”

CHBK looks around and smirks. (4) Trinity then storms over to the ropes and steps through. She drops to the floor as CHBK spins around the steel steps and rolls into the ring. He then gets up and Trinity rolls back in. CHBK drops down to the mat by the ropes farthest away and rolls to the floor. (1) The crowd boos some more. Trinity just gets up and walks over to the ropes, nearest the entrance way. (2)

Sharper: “Look at Trinity. Now going to the ropes nearest the ropes. In case, CHBK just bolts.”

Knots: “She knows many of the tricks too.”

CHBK looks on and walks around a bit. (3) Trinity keeps watching him as the crowd boos some more as CHBK walks around the ring. (4) He snaps at someone in the crowd. (5) Trinity then turns and drops down to the floor. CHBK jukes back, but Trinity rolls back in, restarting the count. (1) CHBK keeps walking around and Trinity looks around and CHBK steps up onto the steel steps. (2) Trinity starts to walk over and CHBK steps back. (3) He then turns and starts to walk around the ring and towards the entrance way. (4) Trinity drops down and rolls to the floor by the entrance way. (1) CHBK stops and backs up and turns and runs around and goes over to the timekeepers’ table. (2) The crowd roars as Trinity Street runs around the ring. CHBK climbs over and can be seen holding himself as Trinity heads over.

Sharper: “CHBK trying to get out of here-“

Knots: “CHBK has something. He went into his tights! Trinity!”

Trinity grabs him and CHBK turns and suddenly throws powder in the eyes of Trinity. The crowd ohs and Trinity staggers back to the steel steps. CHBK turns and drops down to the mat and grabs Trinity and drives her face first into the steel steps. The referee drops down and looks at the powder all over. CHBK just turns to him.

CHBK: “Come on. Disqualify me!”

The referee sighs and goes over and we then see the timekeeper, not the same one that was piledriven, a different one, shaking his head. CHBK turns over and looks at him. The timekeeper follows up with Jason Phillips.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. D has informed us at ringside that he has overruled the disqualification order and this match continues.”

Sharper: “Well that tells you what Mr. D is doing. He’s watching this!”

Knots: “And he’s making sure CHBK is going to get his!”

CHBK looks at the official before turning and throwing him down to the floor. He hits hard and Trinity backs up and CHBK turns and grabs her and rolls her into the ring. He slides in and immediately stomps her in the face and then grabs the top rope and uses it for leverage as he stomps her in the face again and again and again. Trinity winces and CHBK grabs her and pulls her up to her feet and the crowd boos a bit as CHBK nails Trinity with a hard right in the jaw and then another and another. He then scoops her up and turns, slamming her down in the middle of the ring. CHBK looks around before backing up to the ropes and bouncing off before jumping up and hitting a knee drop. He rolls through and then gets up as Trinity rolls over, holding her face, still covered by some powder. CHBK turns and rolls to the floor. CHBK then grabs the timekeeper and pulls him out of the way before grabbing his steel chair. He folds it up and the crowd roars a bit.

Sharper: “CHBK has completely changed his tactic. Running to start. Hoping for the disqualification and now, grabbing a chair.”

Knots: “Well CHBK I guess figures he’ll just try to take out Trinity!”

CHBK turns and rolls back into the ring. He throws the chair down as Trinity starts to get up and throws a punch, still trying to get the powder out of her eyes and CHBK smirks, dodging it before just smacking her. Trinity turns and CHBK kicks her in the ribs and hits a double arm DDT. The crowd roars a bit for the signature move. CHBK rolls over and gets up and hits a flipping senton, before rolling to his feet, hitting the corkscrew standing moonsault before getting up and hitting a standing moonsault, completing the showstopping trifecta. CHBK rolls off and smirks as he looks around, the referee stirring on the floor. CHBK gets up and looks over at him.

CHBK: “Hey! I need you awake! Is this a disqualification or is D going to have his saving grace return to get destroyed!”

CHBK turns back and grabs the steel chair.

Sharper: “CHBK playing some of his greatest hits and clearly now into classic CHBK mode. All arrogance.”

Knots: “Haven’t seen this in years. I kinda wish we still weren’t!”

CHBK looks at the chair and turns around before Trinity Street rolls over and CHBK lifts the chair up and Trinity low blows CHBK. CHBK drops the chair and Trinity rolls over and grabs at the ropes. The crowd roars as CHBK holds himself in pain. Trinity turns and grabs the chair and lifts it up. She then turns to CHBK and slams it into his back. The crowd cheers as CHBK yells in pain and rolls over, arching his back in pain. Trinity throws the chair down before she rolls him over and mounts him and nails him with a hard right and then another and another before starting to throw rights and lefts into CHBK, who covers up as best as he can as Trinity unloads. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “And Trinity Street now has CHBK! Hammering away. Rights! Lefts! Teeing off!”

Knots: “Well CHBK just pissed off a Street. Always a bad idea!”

Trinity gets a few more shots in before she gets up. CHBK rolls over and struggles, reaching for the ropes. Trinity runs over and stomps him in the lower back and then again and again. CHBK yells out and rolls to the ropes and rolls to the floor. Trinity however winces a moment before rolling to the floor herself. Before CHBK can even react, she grabs him and turns and runs him face first into the ringpost. CHBK spins off and rolls down the steel steps. He turns and Trinity grabs him and pulls him up before driving him face first into the steel steps. He falls back as the official recovers and tries to get them into the ring. CHBK turns and grabs at the ring apron, a cut opening up over his eye. Trinity grabs him and rolls him into the ring. CHBK rolls over and, slowly gets up and falls back over. He crawls across towards the ropes. Trinity slides in and goes over to him and grabs his feet. CHBK keeps trying to get to the ropes, his hands sliding as he stops and turns and looks back at Trinity. Trinity just looks right down at him as CHBK’s face drops.

Sharper: “The face tells the story!”

Knots: “He’s still trying to get away, but Trinity pulling back on the leg, and CHBK can’t go anywhere!”

CHBK turns and then rolls over and goes to boot her, but Trinity catches his legs and steps forward and stomps him in the stomach. CHBK rolls over, holding his ribs and starts to get up, struggling to breathe before turning to CHBK who immediately is drilled by the House of Street! The crowd roars and CHBK hits the mat. Trinity then starts to walk around the ring and looks at CHBK. The official looks at her and Trinity looks around the arena. CHBK rolls over and slowly falls over and Trinity waits as he gets to his hands and knees again and Trinity rushes at him and jumps up as he gets to his feet with the Autocracy. CHBK falls back and Trinity rolls over and gets up and turns and looks at the official. The official starts to get ready for the pin. She just shakes her head no and backs up to the corner.

Sharper: “Autocracy takes down CHBK.”

Knots: “Cover him!”

Sharper: “That’s not what she wants. She’s waiting for something. I think she waiting for CHBK to try and get up. She said CHBK will suffer consequences…”

Trinity keeps waiting as CHBK slowly rolls over and grimaces in pain before moving to his hands and knees and Trinity then smiles as she looks out at the crowd. She then runs forward and drills CHBK in the side of the head with the Mark. CHBK falls back and to his back as the crowd roars. Trinity then walks around the ring as she motions to the official. The official checks on CHBK. CHBK is down in the ring and Trinity leans back in the corner.

Sharper: “My God! What a kick to the head! The Mark. She got all of that.”

Knots: “CHBK is unconscious!”

Trinity Street keeps watching as the referee checks on CHBK some more before then getting up and calling for the bell. The crowd roars as the bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via knockout, Trinity Street!”

CHBK moves a bit, clearly out of it as Trinity Street smirks. The referee heads over and raises her arm. The crowd cheers, although some boo, as Trinity Street looks around. CHBK rolls over to his stomach as the official goes back over and checks on him.

Sharper: “Trinity making sure that the consequences were paid. CHBK knocked unconscious by Trinity Street.”

Knots: “How long has she wanted to do that to him? She hates CHBK!”

Sharper: “The knockout victory for Trinity Street!”

Trinity just smiles as she looks at CHBK and turns and drops down to the floor. She then starts to walk back to the rampway and then up the entrance way. A few other officials run down from the back. Lucas Knight is a few strides behind her, causing the crowd to respond with more mixed reaction as Trinity Street walks up the steel rampway. Lucas Knight waits for her on the stage as officials go to the ring and check on CHBK. The camera cuts to CHBK again who is now on his back before we cut to the entrance way to see Trinity Street reaching the stage area of the rampway before turning around. She looks back. Lucas smirks and says something to her. Lucas then raises Trinity’s arm as the crowd roars. The two stand on the top of the stage for a moment.

Sharper: “On the show CHBK helped create, Trinity Street has removed CHBK from the picture, at least for the rest of the night. Syren and Ravyn have to go alone!”

Knots: “Let’s see what they can do then! Consequences are a wonderful thing sometimes!”

Trinity and Lucas back up as we cut away.

The scene cuts backstage to see Jessica Winters standing in front of the SCW interview area.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m Jessica Winters and please welcome at this time, the SCW United States Champion, Jason Helms.”

The crowd cheers as Helms comes into view.

Jessica: “Jason, tonight’s a big night. First defense of the title as you are actually the US Champion and it’s a personal one.”

Jason: “Personal is just the start, but personally, it’s another night and one I just get to have a lot of time with. I’m going to go out there and face someone who frankly deserves to lose and I’m going to enjoy giving them a loss on the biggest stage in wrestling. She took out someone who was an inspiration to many and all because of her pettiness and well, I’m a petty guy too. I just own up to it and tonight, I’m going to walk in as the US Champion and the only thing Bree’s going to do is after the night is over is going to need to find a cheap bottle of wine to drown her sorrows in. Just hope TMZ isn’t around. Don’t want them to think you’re dating that now too!”

The crowd roars as Jason smirks and walks off. Jessica shakes her head.

Jessica: “Let’s go to the ring.”

We then cut back to ringside.

A timer begins to run on the screen, counting down from five to one. A few moments pass as the lights on the stage go off. “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch starts to play as the stage light all go white. Two lines of pyro, all white, go across the stage, each starting in opposite ends and shooting into the air as they meet in the middle. A few moments pass before we see Alistaire Allocco walk out from the back, with his arms over his head. He then takes a few steps before stopping and looking out at the crowd. He looks a bit stunned as he looks around before then smiling. He then starts to head down to the ring as a nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, from Salt Lake City, Utah, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

Allocco makes the long walk down to the ring as the camera cuts to show the capacity crowd.

Sharper: “Over sixty thousand here and Alistaire Allocco stunned by that. Normally he ignores the crowd, but this is a different night.”

Knots: “He’s facing his hero. I don’t know how Jake is his hero. I won’t understand it.”

Sharper: “Some childhood nostalgia!”

Allocco walks down the rampway and to the ringside area. He goes to the ringsteps, stopping there before rotating his torso a few times and swinging his shoulders before running up them. He runs across the ring apron and steps in before pointing to the sky. He walks to the middle of the ring and continues to look up before starting to bring his arm down before looking out the crowd. His music fades out. The opening chords of “Sound of Madness” by Shinedown start to play as the lights in the Rogers Centre go out. The Social Misfits logo flashes up on the big screens.

WATCH YOUR BACK!

With those words, an explosion of pyrotechnics erupts on the stage, shooting high into the air and the arena fills with lights. Jake Starr then steps out from the back and looks around. He stops and surveys the crowd, nodding, as he hears the cheers from the crowd. He continues to soak it in for a moment before then starting to make his way down the rampway.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Des Moines, Iowa, and a member of the Class of 2018 SCW Hall of Fame, he is the Only Social Misfit Remaining, he is Jake Starr!”

Jake Starr makes his way down the rampway, his nameplate coming up. Once he gets to the point where he’s on level with the fans, he fist pumps a few of them as he makes his way down before heading to the ring. He hops onto the apron with one knee and pulls himself up and steps through the ropes. He then goes across the ring and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and throws his arm up in the air, as many fans do the same. He looks around and smirks as he enjoys the reaction. He beats his chest twice before doing it again and dropping down. He then walks across the ring and goes to the opposite corner and steps up and repeats the process. He then looks around before nodding and jumping down. He steps forward a moment before stepping back and looking at Alistaire Allocco who hasn’t take his eyes off of him.

Sharper: “Jake Starr ready to go and riled up. Inducted into the Hall of Fame last night.”

Knots: “And looking to add another win to his record. I don’t have a horse in this race. I hate both of these bastards, but whatever. They each hold a win on each other. Alistaire wanted this match. Jake happy to do it. Let’s see how this shakes out!”

The bell sounds as Starr smirks. Alistaire stretches out a moment before the two circle the ring. Alistaire takes a deep breath and lunges forward and Starr drops down and around Allocco and into a reverse waistlock. Starr pulls back and Alistaire goes to reach back before Starr hoists him up and spins him down into a Greco-Roman takedown. He spins around and grabs Alistaire in a front face lock. Alistaire reaches up and spins around to a seated position. Starr grabs him and Alistaire snapmares him over. Alistaire turns and moves into a side headlock. He tries to pull back, but Starr slides out and gets up and dives forward, grabbing Allocco’s head in a side headlock of his own.

Sharper: “Starr, surprisingly, is out-wrestling Allocco in this early game!”

Knots: “I’m surprised that’s what he’s doing. That’s Allocco’s game.”

Sharper: “And maybe he knows Allocco’s a bit distracted or nervous. Big match for him.”

Starr holds on and Alistaire starts to get his legs under him. Starr pulls back and Alistaire pulls him to the ropes and fires him across.

Alistaire rolls over and starts to get up and Starr grabs him and hits a snap suplex. He goes for another pin.

Allocco kicks out. Starr gets up and Allocco rolls over.

Sharper: “Starr, suplex gets him a two.”

Knots: “Yeah, but those are those early ones that build confidence, like Starr needed it.”

Starr grabs Allocco and drags him up and whips him into the corner. Starr goes to run after and Alistaire gets an elbow up. Starr stumbles back and Allocco walks out, spins through, grabbing Starr’s arm and goes to whip him across. He holds on, however and pulls Starr into a back elbow. Starr hits the mat. He slowly gets up and Alistaire grabs his arm and wrenches it. He jerks on the arm. He then pulls him in and into a fireman’s carry. He moves into a reverse chinlock.

He then climbs up to the top rope. The crowd roars. He looks around and smiles before turning to Allocco who is still down.

Sharper: “Starr hit the DDT. Allocco is down! Shooting Five Star could be about to come!”

Knots: “Allocco tried to suplex Starr around the ring, but Starr spiked him!”

Starr then goes off and goes for the Shooting Five Star Frog Splash, but Allocco gets his knees up. Starr hits hard and pops up, and Alistaire reaches up, turning him over and into the small package.

The bell sounds and the crowd roars.

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

The crowd roars and Starr rolls out and turns.

Sharper: “Allocco caught him and didn’t hesitate. Rolling him up and getting three!”

Knots: “He just beat his childhood hero on the biggest stage…I don’t believe it!”

Sharper: “Got the knees up and that was enough!”

Starr turns and looks at him stunned as Alistaire Allocco pumps his fists and gets up and has his arm raised. Jake Starr just looks to him and shakes his head as Allocco then brings his hands down and looks at him. He then shrugs and extends his hand. Jake just looks down before looking at him. He then grabs his hand and is pulled up. Starr holds his ribs a bit and then pats Alistaire on the back before stepping through the ropes and dropping down to the floor. Allocco smiles as he then throws his arms up. The crowd looks on as Starr shakes his head continuing to walk to the back.

Backstage we see Mr. D in his office. We see him placing the referee’s shirt out and onto his desk. We then see the door open as Katya walks into the room with her sister Sasha and Katya immediately steps forward and hugs her father. Mr. D just smiles and Sasha then walks forward and hugs him too as Katya steps back.

Mr. D: “This is a nice feeling. We’re all here.”

Sasha: “Well you know I have to be here. I’m just usually somewhere up there.”

Sasha points off-camera. Sasha turns to Katya.

Katya: “I didn’t handle things well.”

Mr. D: “No, I didn’t either but…”

Sasha: “Here. I’ll let you two talk some more. I know you had a nice time in Montreal, but with Rise to Greatness…”

Mr. D: “Thanks.”

Sasha turns and walks off. Katya turns to her father.

Katya: “It’s going to take some time. I’m still…thinking of a few years ago and well…”

Mr. D: “It’s fine. It’s…understandable.”

Katya: “And going to Ravyn and Alex was a bit of a cheap shot.”

Mr. D: “It’s done. You’re not with them. And I get it. Alex is like an uncle and Ravyn…whatever.”

Katya: “Either way, I’m thinking I want to be involved more…in this. Seeing you, week to week, it’s given me an understanding. You always kept me away.”

Mr. D: “You want to be a part of this. I’m happy to allow it. I’m not going to force it though. That’s up to you.”

Katya: “I want to be here.”

Mr. D: “Good…looks like I know the future of this company a bit better now-“

Katya: “Well about that…just….remember what Selena and Trinity are saying…even Kelcey after Hall of Fame. And Kennedy too…”

Mr. D sighs.

Mr. D: “Don’t worry. I’m not going to do anything I regret. There are some decisions I’ve already made, but done out of business, not out of hatred or revenge and tonight, with Regan, I’ll call it down the middle. Selena wants that and she deserves that.”

Katya: “What about Dark Fantasy? I know…”

Mr. D sighs.

Mr. D: “What happens tonight…it’s over. Rise to Greatness is as much about being at the top of the sport as it is finality. Tonight…I’ll leave a lot in the past.”

Katya smiles.

Katya: “Good….me too. And on one thing, I think I have an idea to help. I talked to Sasha and she’s on board. Mind if I announce it later?”

Mr. D: “Sure…least I can do.”

Mr. D smiles as Katya smiles back and Mr. D turns to the referee’s shirt as we cut away.

The cameras cut to the entrance way as “The Memory Remains” by Metallica starts to play. A few moments pass before we see Blake Mason walk out from the back in his wrestling gear. He looks around the Rogers Centre, taking a moment to soak things in before then just heading to the ring, with little other fanfare. The crowd cheers him somewhat.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, from Boston, Massachusetts, he is Blake Mason!”

Blake Mason continues to walk down the rampway to the ring as the cameras follow him down. His nameplate comes up.

Sharper: “One year ago, he focus Shuna Cruze in that ring with Taylor Chase as the special referee. Weeks before that, he piledrove Owen Cruze in another promotion. He is not that person anymore, but tonight, it’s the closure of that chapter.”

Knots: “For both Blake and Owen. Blake could’ve ran. Hell, his contract is soon up. Could’ve kept trying to hold off. He not only accepted, but he’s been looking forward to this.”

He walks down the rampway to the ringside area. He walks over to the steel steps and walks up them. He then climbs up to the middle rope and takes a moment to look around before stepping down onto the apron and then stepping into the ring. He backs up and spins around a bit before running into the ropes, bouncing off and stopping in the middle of the ring. He then backs up and keeps stretching as his music fades out. The lights dim and flicker, as a voice booms throughout the arena.

“All I ever wanted was to leave a legacy. Something with which I would be remembered”

With Orlando Cruze’s voice echoing through the Rogers Centre, we then start to hear “Born to Do” by Steven Cooper play. Owen Cruze then steps out from the back.

Sharper: “Owen Cruze making his Rise to Greatness debut. He’ll have some people close to him looking on. Jaina, his girlfriend, Amy Chastaine’s daughter, looking on. All here for this event.”

Knots: “Amy also cheering him on. No love lost between her and Blake. Even with Blake’s new outlook.”

Owen Cruze continues down the rampway as he gets to the ring and hops onto the apron. He then turns and leans back against the ropes, extending his arms out, leaning back on the ropes. He takes a moment before stepping into the ring. He then heads to each side of the ring and looks out at the fans. The crowd cheers him as he looks out. He then backs up before looking up at the sky and nodding. He says a few things before looking back down and turning to Blake Mason. The referee checks on both of them and then calls for the bell to start the match. The crowd roars and Owen watches Blake as Blake steps forward and puts his arms out to his side. He then turns to Owen. Owen lunges and goes for a hard right and nails Blake with it. The crowd cheers as Owen nails Blake again and Blake falls into the corner. Owen steps up and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and nails him with a couple of shots before Blake lifts him up and drops him down to his feet.

Sharper: “One of the biggest matches in SCW history. Regan Street faces Selena Frost, one more time, here tonight. It’s it. No rematches.”

Knots: “Both looking forward to this, but who knows what they’re going to do. No holds barred…and the boss is the special referee.”

Sharper: “Years in the making and it ends tonight!”

Selena and Regan continue to warm up for a few moments longer before we cut to the entrance way.

The lights on the stage flicker before going out. We see some static before the opening chords to “Fade to Black” by Metallica start to play throughout the arena. The crowd cheers, looking on as the first verse starts to echo throughout the arena. It plays, with some fans in the crowd even singing along. The lights on the stage go on as we see Xander Valentine standing in the stage as the first verse comes to an end. White pyros shoot from the floor in front of the stage and from both sides of the stage and high into the air. The crowd cheers as Xander spins around and then looks around as sparks shoot out from the stage around him. He just steps forward, looking at the ring as the crowd cheers some more.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit and if Ravyn Taylor does not win by pinfall or submission, she will be fired. First, on his way to the ring, from San Diego, California, he is SCW Executioner, Xander Valentine!”

Xander makes his march down the rampway, the nameplate coming up. He focuses on the ring, heading to the ring, ignoring fans and anyone else, even despite the positive reaction. He continues to make his way down the rampway.

Sharper: “Xander Valentine, SCW’s Executioner is a fitting name.”

Knots: “He may be executing Ravyn Taylor’s career. He’s gotten the assignment from the boss, finding him a fitting opponent for her as consequence for her meddling all year.”

Sharper: “Not just that, but he’s not in a great mood. Last time we saw him in the ring, he was defeated by Alexis Quinne and we’ve seen him, with ease, toss Ravyn Taylor before in the past. And let’s note, I don’t expect CHBK out here with Ravyn.”

He reaches the ring and then leaps up to the apron. He steps into the ring and turns and goes over to the nearby corner and steps up to the middle turnbuckle. He holds his arm in the air as the crowd cheers. He then steps off and backs up and watches the entrance way as his music fades out. The lights go out again before we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice.

“NEVERMORE”

With that we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes.

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

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

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

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the lights come back up on the stage as we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out on to the stage with a smirk on her face. She looks down at the ring and at Xander Valentine before turning to the crowd. She then twirls mockingly for the camera before then smirking. Her nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “His opponent, representing Dark Fantasy, from Hell, Michigan, she is the Bad, Bad Girl, Ravyn Taylor!”

She waits a few moments before starting to make her way down to the ring.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor acting like this is business as usual. I’m sure she has a plan, but-“

Knots: “But she thinks she’s got this. CHBK is concerned. She should’ve been concerned, but she’s not.”

Sharper: “She has been known to be arrogant. But if she is genuinely arrogant here, this could be the biggest mistake she has ever made in an SCW ring. Xander Valentine has defeated and hurt so many before tonight. CHBK included.”

Ravyn Taylor continues to make her way to the ring before looking at the ring. She smirks looking at Xander before running up the ring steps. She steps along the apron and wipes her feet before vaulting over the top rope and into the ring. She then looks over to the corner and climbs up to the middle rope. She glances back at Xander and smirks before turning and looking down at herself with a look of admiration before stepping off. Xander just watches her as Ravyn takes off her jacket, folding it up and placing it in her corner. She then drops down into a seated position and looks across as the crowd boos her. Her music fades out as we go to a wide shot.

Sharper: “Let’s see what Ravyn Taylor has in mind. She’s still looking smug.”

Knots: “And she’s on her own. Syren focusing on her shot and CHBK…”

Sharper: “He’s getting checked for a concussion. Trinity Street made sure this would be one on one.”

The bell sounds. Xander steps up and Ravyn Taylor watches him and Xander keeps coming toward her and swings, going for a hard right. Ravyn ducks and spins around and backs up. Xander turns and follows her, stalking her back to the corner. Ravyn looks around and Xander swings and goes for another haymaker. Ravyn ducks and spins around. She nails Xander with a hard right. She then backs up as Xander turns and goes after her. Ravyn backs up and rolls out of the ring. She backs away as Xander looks at her and Ravyn turns and drops down to the floor. (1) The crowd boos as Xander then steps over the top rope and to the floor. Ravyn spins around the ringsteps as Xander follows and Ravyn slides into the ring. Xander turns and slides into the ring and as he gets up, Ravyn stomps him in the face and then again.

Sharper: “Ravyn stomping away on Xander. But I think as she’s trying to duck and dodge.”

Knots: “This aint dodgeball!”

Sharper: “She may just be riling him up and remember. Unlike with CHBK and Trinity, Ravyn must win by pinfall or submission to keep her job!”

Ravyn stomps him a third time and Xander steps up and shoves her back. Ravyn rolls through. She gets up and Xander steps forward and goes for a clothesline. Ravyn ducks and runs into the ropes. She bounces off, but Xander scoops her up on the rebound. The crowd roars and Xander throws Ravyn overhead with a fallaway slam. The crowd ohs and Ravyn rolls over to the ropes. Xander then starts to get up and Ravyn rolls to the floor. Xander turns and walks to the ropes and grabs at them before stepping over them. (1) Ravyn rolls over and crawls around the ring. She glances back. (2) Xander hops down and walks around the ring and Ravyn rolls under the ring. Xander storms over and grabs the ring skirt and pulls it up. (3) Xander looks underneath and gets a boot to the face. (4) He staggers back.

Sharper: “Ravyn under the ring. A boot to the face.”

Knots: “She’s pissing Xander off more. But the referee is counting her out too!”

Sharper: “Counting both out.”

Xander turns and goes back to the ring. (5) He looks underneath and the camera gets a good shot, showing she’s not under there. Xander then grabs the ropes and pulls himself up onto the apron as Ravyn crawls out not across the ring, but to the side by the entrance way. Xander steps in and goes forward, expecting her to go across, before Ravyn rolls into the ring and runs at Xander and dropkicks him in the back of the leg. The crowd ohs and boos. Xander hits the mat and Ravyn turns and dives onto him and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another and another. Xander shoves her off. Ravyn rolls through and gets up. Xander steps up and Ravyn runs over and dropkicks the knee Xander was going to push off of, knocking him back down.

Sharper: “Ravyn going for the knees. Using the confusion to take advantage.”

Knots: “Taking advantage is right. Went for one leg, took him down. Now the other.”

Sharper: “She’s just keeping him down. Can’t hit the Martial Bane from there.”

Ravyn gets up and stomps him in the back of the head and then again and again. Xander rolls over and Ravyn stomps him in the face before then going for another stomp, but Xander catches her foot and pushes her off. She rolls through. She gets up and Xander gets up and Ravyn runs at him and Xander suddenly launches her in the air. She then drops to the mat. Ravyn rolls over as Xander limps around a bit, trying to get the blood in his legs moving. Ravyn rolls over, holding her ribs. She grabs at the ropes and slowly pulls himself up and turns around and Xander scoops her up and hits a sidewalk slam. The crowd ohs and Xander pulls back on her legs.

Ravyn pushes her off. She rolls over and Xander rolls over and grabs at the ropes. He then starts to get up and Ravyn rolls over and slowly gets up and Xander walks over and knees her in the ribs and Ravyn leaves her feet and rolls down to the mat. She then turns and goes to leave the ring, but Xander grabs her foot. Ravyn tries to get free, but Xander keeps holding on.

Sharper: “Not going anywhere. Shades of earlier!”

Knots: “Guess that plan isn’t working out!”

Xander jerks her back into the ring and she turns to her back and Xander grabs her by the throat in a double choke. Xander looks down before hoisting her up and into a choke before turning and throwing her into the corner. Xander moves in and hits a back elbow. He rears back and back elbows her again and then grabs her and hits a huge hip toss out of the corner. Ravyn rolls over. She holds her back, begging off as Xander just stalks her across the ring. He keeps stepping towards her and Ravyn backs up and Xander goes to grab at her, but Ravyn steps up and thumbs him in the eye. Xander staggers back and Ravyn pulls herself up to the middle turnbuckle before diving forward with a bulldog off the middle rope, driving Xander into the mat. The crowd ohs and boos. Ravyn just gets up and smirks and looks around before posing for a moment, showing herself off. She then turns and looks at Xander as he rolls over.

Sharper: “Ravyn taking a moment to admire this. Obviously something to get under the skin of the boss, and maybe Xander if he even took notice of it.”

Knots: “Keep doing it. Xander will come and stop that soon.”

Sharper: “Ravyn has always been a crafty one and this match is about finding a way that all of that won’t matter. Xander has defeated the best in this business.”

Knots: “And just think, they thought they’d have the boss’ daughter in their pocket. She’s back with D. Ravyn’s lost an ace in the hole!”

Xander turns and starts to get up and Ravyn runs over and stomps him in the back of the knee. She stomps him again and then again. Xander shoves her back. She rolls through and gets up and Xander pulls himself up only for Ravyn to run at him and nail him with the Bust of Pallas. The crowd roars and Xander falls into the corner. Ravyn then turns and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another. Xander shoves her back again. Ravyn backs up and Xander steps out and goes for a boot, but Ravyn suddenly pulls the referee in and Xander drills him in the face. The crowd ohs and Ravyn rolls to the floor. Xander turns and goes to grab her, but she backs away and then turns and grabs the ring bell. She turns back, but before she can even do anything, we see another official running down from the back. Ravyn looks up and scoffs and shakes her head. Xander glances back before turning and then stepping over the top rope. Ravyn drops the bell and quickly starts to jog around.

Sharper: “Ravyn pulling the official in to give her some more options, but looks like the boss had that in mind!”

Knots: “Ravyn just realized it and then realized she’s got Xander Valentine coming down to keep this match going too!”

Ravyn moves around the ring as Xander drops down and walks around the ring and follows her. She rolls back into the ring. Xander slides in after as the second official enters the ring and Ravyn runs into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for another Bust of Pallas, but Xander sidesteps and grabs Ravyn before hoisting her up and dropping her with a uranage slam. The crowd ohs and Ravyn winces and rolls over. Xander then grabs her and pulls her up before whipping her into the corner. Xander turns and runs at her and drills her with a running splash. The crowd ohs and Ravyn falls forward and down to the mat. Xander drops down and hooks the leg.

Ravyn shoots her shoulder up. Xander looks down. He grabs her and drags her up. He then hooks her head and looks around before hoisting her up and just holding her up in the air. The crowd roars as Xander holds her up in a hanging vertical suplex position, keeping her up and then letting go with one arm, holding her up still and then falling back.

Sharper: “The power! The strength of Xander Valentine!”

Knots: “And now he’s almost toying with her. She wants to toy with him. He can do the same back. Just with more devastation!”

Xander rolls over and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a powerdrive elbow to the chest of Ravyn. He goes for the lateral press.

Knots: “But where is Ravyn going now.”

Xander starts to get up as Ravyn goes to her jacket and pulls something out. The referee checks on her as Xander gets up and walks over to her and grabs her by the hair and Ravyn turns and clasps one handcuff to Xander’s wrist. Xander looks at it and Ravyn quickly clasps the other to the top rope. Ravyn then pulls away and rolls over. She smirks as Xander starts to walk along the ropes, trying to pull it off. Ravyn then smiles before getting up and running over and dropkicking him in the side of the head. She rolls down to the mat and gets up and hits another dropkick. Xander falls over to the corner.

Sharper: “Xander handcuffed! Ravyn brought a pair of handcuffs!”

Knots: “And she’s teeing off. Dropkicks to the head!”

Sharper: “I don’t even know if that’s a disqualification? It’s a foreign object. But she’s not using it as a weapon?!”

Xander starts to get up and Ravyn runs across the ring. She bounces off and runs at him and nails him with another Bust of Pallas. Xander falls over and down to the mat. Ravyn then smirks as she walks around the ring. She then turns and goes over and forearms him in the jaw and then again and again and again. Ravyn holds him up and gets in his face.

Ravyn then kicks him in the knee. Ravyn pulls away and staggers back and coughs.

He hoists her up and onto his shoulder and then throws her down with a powerslam.

Sharper: “Ravyn has unleashed Xander Valentine!”

Knots: “The plan didn’t work. Abort! Abort!”

Sharper: “She may not have a chance. Xander isn’t relenting!”

Xander then grabs her and drags her up to her feet. He then just hoists her up and places her on the top rope. The crowd cheers as Xander steps over to the ropes and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. He then grabs her and goes to go for the double underhook. He then hoists her up and onto his shoulders, but Ravyn gets her arms free and drives her thumbs into the eyes of Xander. Xander yells out and falls back. Ravyn lands on him.

Sharper: “The superkick! The Evolutionary Synthesis and now the Memento Mori!”

Knots: “Throwing everything at him, all after going for the eyes! Come on Xander! Power out! Power out!”

Sharper: “Don’t tell me she’s going to manage to do this!”

Ravyn keeps pulling as the referee keeps checking on Xander as Xander fades. He then drops to his side and Ravyn keeps the hold on and pulls back. The referee checks on Xander, trying to get a response before then getting up and calling for the bell. The crowd boos. Ravyn holds on for a moment longer before letting go and rolling over. She then smirks and falls back to the ropes. She then looks around before then dusting her hands off, almost taunting everyone. The crowd boos as “Bad, Bad Girl” plays throughout the arena.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via submission, Ravyn Taylor!”

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! Ravyn Taylor defeating Xander Valentine by making him pass out!”

Knots: “She had a plan…I don’t believe it.”

Sharper: “A plan that was nearly foiled on a number of occasions, but Ravyn Taylor is still employed and despite Xander Valentine certainly giving her a run for her money, she managed to do it.”

Knots: “Damn it!”

Ravyn then starts to get up and turns to the official. The official gets up and raises her arm. Ravyn smiles as she looks around the Rogers’ Centre. The crowd boos some more as Ravyn then turns to the official and motions to him and the referee turns and continues to hold her arm, intentionally turning to every side of the ring.

Knots: “Yeah. Rub it in.”

Sharper: “She’s enjoying this. Just defeated one of the most dominant forces in SCW history.”

The referee turns back to Xander as Xander turns a bit. Ravyn then walks over to the ropes and steps through them. She smirks as she drops down to the floor. She runs her hands through her hair before she starts to walk up the rampway. She turns back and admires her handiwork. Xander starting to grab at the ropes, pulling himself up, glaring as the scene fades to black.

The scene opens up with a flame shooting out of an oil drum. The camera pans back to see what appears to be a couple, cuddling on the ground, covered by tattered blankets before the camera continues to pan across. We see some opened canned before we hear some shots in the background and then a dog running past. The camera spins around as we then see several individuals, in tattered clothes, listening intently. We then see a shot of Cookie, in a tattered top and skirt, and Manvel who still is covered in massive amounts of oil.

Adonis: “Position 137…Don’t worry…it may be the end of the world, but we got a way to make it as fun as ever! KABLAM!”

Adonis thrusts his hips as an explosion goes off in the background. Adonis turns back. The Apocalypse logo then comes up on the screen.

“SCW presents Apocalypse, on Sunday, September 9, 2018, live on pay per view.”

The logo remains on the screen before we cut back to see the group of people in front of Adonis, Cookie and Manvel all look up at the sky and chant “KABLAM!” in unison as the scene fades to black.

The scene opens backstage in the locker room area to see Xander Valentine walking through and throwing an elbow pad down in annoyance as he then looks at the handcuff still on his hand. Mr. D then walks over to him.

Mr. D: “Tough luck…”

Xander just looks at him.

Mr. D: “What happened to SCW’s Executioner…”

Xander glares at him.

Xander: “I don’t care for being a hired gun. I also don’t care for losing, so don’t think for a second-“

Mr. D: “I don’t. But as I said in the past, I don’t have time for anchors and SCW is focusing on its future. And Xander…I wanted to personally come here. Your years of service. Take your shower and then please leave. You’re fired.”

Xander turns and looks at Mr. D as Mr. D turns and walks off. Xander calmly looks down and glances back to Mr. D as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “What?!”

Xander turns back and then looks up, clearly thinking hard about doing something he would regret before he turns and walks off.

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We open up with a shot of Andrew Raynes holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship. This is followed by a shot of Andrew Raynes and Dylan Howell fighting in the ring, before cutting to show Howell in the middle of a steel cage and Andrew Raynes closing the cage door on his head. Howell is down in the ring as Andrew Raynes can be seen smiling. We then see Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams attacking Nostalgia before Dylan Howell runs out with a steel chair.

Sharper: “Oh my God! It’s Dylan Howell!”

We see Howell un down before Raynes tackles him down and nails him with a series of hard rights. The two of them fight before we see Howell starting to get up as Raynes grimaces on the floor.

We cut forward to see Marie hitting a facebuster on Andrew Raynes before we see Dylan Howell slide in. He takes her down before going right onto Andrew Raynes, nailing him with a number of shots.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell snapping and just bolting out here. He couldn’t resist getting his hands on Andrew Raynes.”

Howell gets a few more shots before Adams pulls him off. Raynes gets away as Howell tries to get at him, but the crowd boos as Howell looks at Raynes as Raynes gets away from Dustin Adams.

We then see shots of Andrew Raynes smiling.

Raynes: “See, I finally got the news that I’ve been waiting for. And it’s great.”

Howell: “Oh Andrew…I didn’t know you liked me that much.

Sharper: “Dylan Howell heard that from home and he said this on social media: This match was like Christmas, Easter and his birthday all rolled into one.”

Raynes: “The match I wanted…the match your career deserves to end in…Dylan…I get you in the Thunderdome!”

We then hear ominous music before we see shots of the Thunderdome structure hanging over the ring and several shots of it set up around the ring. We see a shot of Rachel Frost choking Syren with her boot, and then a shot of Carnage falling from the side of the cage through a table. Following this is a shot of Syren dropkicking Frost off the apron into the side of the Thunderdome cage, hitting awkwardly. We see Damian Angel spearing Greg Cherry into the cage and then cutting to showing Jay Gold grabbing at the side of the Thunderdome cage. Xander Valentine being knocked into the cage is shown before we see a shot of CHBK bloodied while in the ring and then showing CHBK hitting a piledriver on Thorn into the steel chair inside the Thunderdome. Red Rayne hitting steel steps placed over Rachel Foxx, while in the Thunderdome, is shown before we see Red Rayne covered in blood. Shots of Kasheryn, Mono Loco, Jay Gold, Tommy Valentine and Syren bleeding follow before we cut to see Andrew Raynes smiling again, laughing a bit.

We then cut to see Dylan Howell standing in the middle of the Thunderdome as its set up in the SCW warehouse.

Dylan: “It’s….beautiful…”

Dylan is then shown smiling before the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We return to the ring to see the Thunderdome starting to descend from the ceiling. The crowd roars as the spotlights focus on the structure.

Sharper: “There you see the Thunderdome, a match that has seen many rivalries ended, but never without consequence.”

Knots: “Raynes wanted this. Howell was happy about it. Someone is going to be really unhappy after this one. And someone is going to be the Adrenaline Champion!”

The Thunderdome continues to descend before slowing down at the ring area as ring crew starts to make sure it safely comes to the ground. We then cut to see Jason Phillips at ringside.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the Thunderdome Match for the SCW Adrenaline Championship!”

The crowd cheers as the SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. “Adrenaline” by Gavin Rossdale starts to play as the crowd starts to cheer. A few moments pass before Dylan Howell steps out from the back. He doesn’t even stop at the entrance way. He just storms past the stage and starts to make his way down the rampway towards the ring. His nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “The challenger, from Malibu Beach, California, he is Dylan Howell.”

The crowd cheers as Howell continues to frantically make his way down the rampway to the ring. The camera follows him as the Thunderdome cage door is opened. Howell continues the long trek before getting to the door. He stops and looks in and smiles before stepping insde. He then rolls into the ring and gets up and runs across the ring, bouncing off the ropes on one side before bouncing off the other side and stopping in the middle of the ring. He then looks up and smiles as he scans the Thunderdome around him and backs up to his corner.

Sharper: “Howell couldn’t wait to make it down to the ring.”

Knots: “He’s smiling again. I don’t like that. He’s smiling.”

Sharper: “He was in there in the warehouse here in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. He’s happy in there. He knows he can do whatever he needs to to get Addy back. Seven months this has gone on and it ends here.”

Howell paces in the ring before we see the lights go out. “Through Struggle” plays throughout the Rogers Centre. Boos come from the crowd before we see smoke billow out of the stage. Lights start to flash as the smoke continues before Andrew Raynes walk out from the back, the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his shoulder. He smiles as he looks around the stadium and then to the ring, before looking right at Dylan. He just locks eyes with him as we cut to the ring to show Dylan looking at Andrew.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, he is the reigning and defending SCW Adrenaline Champion, Andrew Raynes!”

Andrew Raynes then starts to walk to the ring, grabbing his title and holding it over his head, intentionally to mock Dylan. He continues to head down the rampway towards the ring before bringing his arm down with the title in his hand.

Sharper: “Raynes almost taunting Howell.”

Knots: “Now almost dragging it. Even to just add to it. I know Raynes takes great pride in holding that title.”

Sharper: “How it all started. He was sick of people he felt were jokes holding it, but he forgot that even if people may be a bit odd, they are fantastic wrestlers, like Dylan Howell!”

He continues to head to the ring as Dylan Howell just watches him, getting more and more riled. Andrew Raynes head down to the ringside area and then over to the door. He looks at it and steps inside. He pulls the door closed. An official on the floor walks over to it before Andrew steps towards the ring but Dylan runs at him and dives through the ropes, right onto Andrew and into the side of the Thunderdome. Andrew hits hard and falls to the ground as Dylan rolls over. The official in the ring, call for the bell, as the second official, outside of the Thunderdome, locks the door.

Sharper: “And just like that! Dylan Howell diving onto Andrew Raynes!”

Knots: “Raynes wanted it Dylan wanted it. They’re locked in there. Someone is walking out the champion!”

Howell rolls over as Andrew Raynes turns grabbing onto the side of the cage before Dylan grabs him and drives him face first into the side of the cage before grabbing him and driving him face first into it. He then grabs him and runs him along the side of the Thunderdome and then throws him down. Andrew Raynes falls to the steel steps. Howell walks around.

The crowd ohs and Howell hits the mats hard and rolls over. Raynes grabs the Adrenaline Championship and turns to him.

Raynes: “This! It’s not yours! In fact…this is as close as you’re getting to it.”

He then rears back and Howell nails him in the ribs. Raynes staggers back and places it on the apron. He walks around the ring. Howell grabs at the ring apron. He gets up and walks around. Raynes stops and turns and Howell walks over only for Raynes to hit a straight kick to the ribs.

Sharper: “This is a fight right from the start. Raynes already touching his forehead, stunned he’s not bleeding.”

Howell gets up and runs across the ring, he bounces off and hits a running baseball slide, knocking Raynes to the floor.

Sharper: “Hard baseball slide and harder landing.’

Knots: “Did he hit the steel?”

Sharper: “May have. That’s the added aspect of this. That steel is far more unforgiving than the padding on the barricade.”

Howell pulls himself to the floor. Raynes starts to get up and Howell nails him with a hard right. He nails him with another and then grabs Raynes and scoops him up. He then lifts him up and drops him face first on the steel steps. Raynes falls over and turns. Howell then grabs him and starts to grate him against the steel.

Sharper: “Raynes lacerated here.”

REPLAY:

We see Raynes run across the ring and grab the top rope and corkscrew over it and onto Howell, through the table and both end up in a heap. The RTGXV logo comes up before we see the same move from a different angle.

The impact causes Howell to roll through to his stomach, right next to Raynes. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “No! No! Dylan Howell! Andrew RAynes! A German suplex off the side of the Thunderdome through two tables!”

Knots: “How they missed the ring I don’t know?!”

Raynes gets his shoulder up. The crowd ohs and Howell rolls off. He looks up and starts to get ups. He falls against the cage. He then bends over and lifts Andrew Raynes up and slowly gets up and rolls him into the ring. Howell leans against the ropes and rolls in after him. He then walks over and grabs Raynes and drags him up. He then nails him with a hard right and Raynes just falls to the ropes, right near where the Adrenaline Championship was left at the start of the match. Howell turns and looks around and grabs one of the chairs from earlier.

Sharper: “And now a chair. One of those mangled chairs from earlier.”

Knots: “Looks like he’s going to use it to do something more to Raynes. He’s unfolding it.”

Sharper: “Maybe a springboard of some sort. What else can they do to one another as they’ve put each other through chairs, through tables. They’re bloodied.”

Knots: “Clearly trying to see if the Thunderdome can cut through them too!”

He then turns and walks over and unfolds it and places it a few feet away from the nearby turnbuckle. He then grabs Raynes and Raynes suddenly swings and nails Howell in the head with the Adrenaline Championship. Howell falls back and into the chair he just set up. The crowd ohs and Raynes falls back to the corner. He looks at Howell.

Sharper: “Oh God! The title to the face!”

Knots: “Raynes crafty as ever. Saw it there…”

Sharper: “Now what’s he doing?”

Knots: “He’s giving Howell the title?”

Raynes places the title on the lap of Howell and taps it as Howell is half out of it.

Raynes: “Hold this for me.”

Raynes then exits to the apron and pulls himself up to the top rope. He nearly falls off, still in pain from the fall, before looking at Howell and jumping up, turning in the air and hitting the Make It Rain on Howell, knocking him hard back to the mat, adding to the impact. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Frog splash!”

Knots: “Making it rain in Toronto!”

Sharper: “Double the impact. To the body and then to the mat!”

Raynes nearly rolls through before pulling himself back up, grimacing in pain.

Raynes rolls off, grabbing the Adrenaline Title, ripping it away from Howell as we see Howell was indeed clutching it, as his arm moves with it before Raynes gets full control. Raynes rolls away as Howell is down on the mat. The referee walks over and raises Raynes’ arm.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and STILL SCW Adrenaline Champion, Andrew Raynes!”

Raynes pulls away and drops to a knee as he then falls to his hands and knees. The official on the floor opens the Thunderdome as we see officials starting to file in.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes outlasting Howell in this one. Even taunting him at the end.”

Knots: “And Howell wouldn’t have let go, but Raynes made sure he had one last taste before he took him out for good!”

Sharper: “The Making it Rain onto the chair, that did it, but these two had a war and they’re both showing the effects.”

Knots: “They’re not going to be the same at all.”

Sharper: “Take a look at some of this.”

REPLAY:

We see Howell diving through the ropes and into Andrew Raynes to start off the match. We cut forward to see Howell getting spinebustered through the two steel chairs. The crowd ohs as Howell grimaces in pain. We cut forward again to see Raynes dive over the top rope, hitting the corkscrew plancha onto Howell through the leaning table. Raynes rolls over as Howell is in heap.

Sharper: “Just devastation. Both bloodied. Tables, chairs…”

Knots: “And that’s the thing. Everything had pure hate behind it. And along with using this structure, both are battered, bruised…and then this…”

Sharper: “This…this was just scary and we could’ve seen both careers end here!”

We see Howell pulling Raynes off and driving him through the two tables with a German suplex. The crowd ohs. We cut again before seeing the German suplex from another angle. This is followed by a shot of Andrew Raynes nailing Howell with the Making It Rain while on the steel chair. Raynes covers Howell.

The bell sounds and Raynes ripping the Adrenaline Championship out of Howell’s hands is seen before the RTGXV logo comes up on the screen.

We cut back to see Raynes slowly starting to walk to the back, holding the Adrenaline Championship, helped by Dustin Adams who has come to the ring. He holds him up and raises his arm as Raynes holds his lower back in pain and they head to the ring. We cut to the ring to see Howell down in the ring. Officials checking on him.

Sharper: “An unbelievable clash. You said it Jon. They won’t ever be the same.”

Knots: “Andrew Raynes is still the champion though. He did what he wanted. Dylan Howell…he won’t be getting Addy.”

Sharper: “And when realizes that…”

Knots: “He at least has a few weeks to figure it out.”

Howell is slowly checked on by officials as he slowly stirs and grimaces in pain. The crowd applauds a bit and the cameras remain focused on Dylan as he looks around. We see him turn and then calm a bit as he notices a female at the ringside area. He tries to move toward her as EMTs now at ringside start to check on him too. Howell moves to the ropes. He rolls to the apron and looks out and down, disappointed. He slowly steps down as the female he saw, helps him up as another official helps him up on the other side. The crowd applauds some more as we then cut slowly to black.

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

???: “What are you doing?”

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

Katya: “Did you have to pause it?”

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

Katya: “It was fine last time…”

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

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

Mr. D grabs whatever he dropped and looks up.

Mr. D: “Alright…”

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

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

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

We open up with a live shot of the outside of the Rogers Centre as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “This year, we’re in Toronto at the Rogers Centre, but next year, we return to Arlington, Texas and AT&T Stadium.”

Knots: “We were there in 2010 and well, looks like we’re making Rise to Greatness bigger than ever again!”

“Adrenalize” starts to play. Spotlights circle the arena as the crowd starts to give a mixed reaction before Ace Marshall walks out from the back, wearing his black reflective jacket and Oakley shades. Cassidy Carter walks out, a clutch in her hand, ignoring the crowd, just moving to the music before spinning around and joining Ace Marshall by his side. Ace slowly lifts his arm over his head as the stage switches between turning red, blue and green. The crowd boos as they look around and his nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on their way to the ring, they are Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall!”

Ace Marshall starts to walk down to the ring. Cassidy walks with him. The two ignore the crowd as they make their way down to the ring. The crowd boos them as spotlights circle around. Ace Marshall smirks as he looks around as they make their way down the rampway to the ringside area. Ace then slides in and gets up, running his hand through the air. Cassidy rolls in and gets up, dancing to the song before going up to the ropes and stepping up on them. Ace goes to the corner and looks out. He smirks before throwing his arm up. He then drops down, taking his jacket off and handing off, along with his Oakleys. Cassidy meanwhile looks around and smirks before Ace moves to the corner and the music fades out. She puts her clutch in the corner.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter have done a wonderful job antagonizing James Evans and Katelyn Buehler. Buehler has waited for this for months. James Evans, he’s been trying to hold off until tonight and even we heard him before we went on the air.”

Knots: “Yeah, but will that happen. Ace and Cassidy love to get under people’s skin. They’ve shown it with this one!”

The lights dim before “My House” by PVRIS starts to play. The crowd roars and Katelyn Buehler walks out from the back wearing a black leather jacket. She looks down to the ring, right at Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter. She just glares down to them.

Phillips: “And their opponent, first, from Los Angeles, California, she is Katelyn Buehler!”

Katelyn starts to walk down to the ring, without her trademark smile, but all business. She makes the long walk down the rampway as her nameplate comes up. The camera follows her down as Ace and Cassidy look on. Katelyn continues to make the long walk down.

Sharper: “Katelyn Buehler and Cassidy Carter have no love lost between one another. Ace, meanwhile, was a close friend, and in the last month, that’s evaporated.”

Knots: “He’s called her everything under the sun, questioned her judgement. Geez.”

Katelyn walks down the rampway and reaches the ring before walking around the ring and over to the camera side before turning and sliding into the ring. She turns to her knees. She moves her hair before glancing back to Ace and Cassidy who have no exited the ring and lets out a scream. The crowd roars before she turns and goes to the turnbuckle and glances to the entrance way where her music fades out and cuts to “Villain I’m Not.” The crowd roars before the cameras pan across the crowd before turning to the entrance way as James Evans walks out from the back. The crowd roars. He looks down to the ring. His nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “Her partner, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”

James Evans heads down the rampway and heads down to the ring. James Evans stretches out his neck as he makes his long walk down to the ring. Katelyn turns and watches him, jumping down and turning to Ace and Cassidy as they look on. James walks down the rampway and over to the ringside area. He walks up the steel steps and stops at the top of them and looks out at the crowd. He then walks along the apron and steps into the ring and turns to Katelyn. He removes his top and places it over the ropes. He talks to Katelyn as Katelyn turns to Ace and Cassidy. Ace slides in as Cassidy pulls herself onto the apron. James and Katelyn keep looking across as the crowd roars a bit. The music fades out.

Sharper: “A lot has changed for that man in a year and a half.”

Knots: “But is tonight going to be a step back.”

Sharper: “He’s not the same person who faced Ace Marshall for the World Title two years ago at this event. He’s trying to do better. Trying to stand for what’s right. Trying to be a good father to his child.”

Knots: “One child, not two, as one apparently is Ace’s.”

Sharper: “Part of the reason this has become so personal. Ace stepping over boundaries in trying to prove to Katelyn James is not a changed man.”

Ace looks across as Katelyn turns to James. James backs up and exits to the apron. Katelyn and Ace then look at one another. The bell sounds as Katelyn and Ace keep look at one another. Ace smirks as Katelyn shakes her head. Ace puts his hand up.

Ace: “Just kick him in the balls and we can move on from this.”

Katelyn rolls her eyes and moves in and nails Ace in the jaw with a forearm shot. Ace staggers back and Katelyn nails her again. Ace falls to the ropes. Katelyn kicks him in the ribs before grabbing him and Ace shoves her back. She rolls through. She gets up and Ace moves over and locks in a side headlock. She holds on and Ace then takes her over with a headlock takedown. Katelyn reaches around, trying to push him off. Ace holds on and starts to get back up to his feet.

Sharper: “Ace still needling Katelyn there.”

Knots: “He is an asshole.”

Sharper: “Katelyn’s trying to support James for the benefit of her children. James is one of the fathers of her three girls. Ace, we’ve found out, is one of the other.”

Ace continues to hold on and then hits a hip throw. Katelyn rolls over and gets up. Ace pushes her back into the corner. Ace leans in as Katelyn pushes back on him. The referee calls for the break.

Ace backs up and then suddenly turns and nails James with a hard right. James holds on and looks out as Ace backs up, inviting him into the ring. Katelyn then steps out and Ace turns and Katelyn goes for a clothesline, but Ace ducks. Katelyn turns around and Ace kicks her in the ribs. He then scoops her up and slams her down. Ace turns back to James, taunting him to enter. James just looks on and runs his hand through his hair. He turns back to Katelyn and pulls her up, but Katelyn suddenly hits a jawbreaker. Ace falls to a knee. He shakes it off and Katelyn hits a dropkick, knocking him down. She then dives onto him and locks him in a side headlock before nailing Ace with a couple of hard left hands, before Ace slides out and rolls over to his corner. Katelyn gets up and looks over, pointing at Cassidy as Ace tags her in.

Sharper: “Ace finding out that Katelyn is here to maybe knock some sense into him and rightfully so. But now she wants Cassidy.”

Knots: “She’s always hated Cassidy. One of two things I have in common with Katelyn!”

Sharper: “Two?’

Knots: “I didn’t want to say anything, but I have had a child with Blake Mason.”

Sharper: “Stop it!”

Cassidy enters and looks at Katelyn. The crowd roars. They then lunge and both nail one another with a forearm and then grab each other before both nailing each other with furious forearms over and over before Cassidy reaches in and rakes Katelyn’s eyes. She stumbles back and Cassidy spears her back into the corner. She rears back and shoulders her in the ribs and then again before getting up and nailing Cassidy with a smack. Katelyn turns away and Cassidy smirks and grabs Katelyn and goes to pull her out, but Katelyn stops and pulls her into a short-arm clothesline. Cassidy gets up and lets out a yell and forearms her in the jaw before kicking her in the ribs. Katelyn then pushes her into the ropes and fires her off. Katelyn fires her off and Cassidy bounces off the other side and Katelyn scoops her up, but Cassidy catches her by the head with a headscissors and forces her down. She goes for the pin.

Katelyn kicks out. Both get up and Cassidy rakes the eyes of Katelyn and Katelyn stumbles back and falls to the corner. James then reaches over and Katelyn looks up and she tags in James. The crowd roars as James calmly enters the ring. Cassidy backs up.

Sharper: “James Evans in the match. Now the legal man. First time in this ring!”

Knots: “Cassidy’s backing off.”

Sharper: “She’s going for her clutch.”

James then looks at her as Cassidy reaches out of the clutch and holds up a taser.

Cassidy: “Stay back! Stay back!”

James rolls his eyes as Cassidy keeps holding the taser up. The referee tells her to hand it over. Ace then tags himself in and enters as Cassidy tosses the taser to the official and he hands it off. James looks on as Ace turns to the camera.

Ace: “Kiera! Come to the TV. Going to beat up your fake dad!”

James looks on as Ace smirks and then turns to him and mockingly puts his fists up. He then throws a few exaggerated punches before then smacking James. James turns away. Ace then smirks before shrugging.

Ace: “Fine! Make this easy!”

He then grabs James, but James suddenly drops down with a drop toe hold and moves into a single leg crab. Ace frantically reaches for the ropes as James holds on and Ace moves to them. The referee calls for the break.

James lets go and Ace pulls himself over before Katelyn stomps him in the face. The crowd cheers. He rolls over and James grabs him and pulls him up before hitting a snap suplex.

Sharper: “Ace getting knocked around. Better start taking this seriously!”

Knots: “James Evans not in a laughing mood, but not going to cross a line tonight if he can help it!”

Ace turns and reaches out for Cassidy but James grabs him and pulls him back before nailing him with a kick to the ribs. He then whips him into the corner. James turns and runs after and nails him with a jumping leg lariat. He rolls down and gets up. Ace staggers forward and James lifts him onto his shoulders and throws him back with Samoan drop.

Cassidy enters and nails James with a running boot. James rolls over, holding his jaw as Katelyn starts to enter, but Cassidy runs over and kicks her in the chest as she does. She falls back and to the floor. The crowd boos. Cassidy then exits the ring.

Sharper: “Cassidy just like that, almost like a damn hurricane coming through, knocks down James and then knocks down Katelyn.”

Knots: “Sounds like her. She’s never been one not to ruin everything she touches!”

Cassidy smirks as Ace rolls over. James holds his jaw and starts to get up and Ace grabs him and spins him around, double underhooking him and hitting a suplex. James turns and Ace walks over and hits a knee drop. He then goes for the pin.

Cassidy then runs over and hits a senton backsplash. She goes for the pin as Ace watches.

James kicks out.

Sharper: “Cassidy and Ace now in control here. The dropkick. The backsplash. Only a two.”

Knots: “And it’s just the start. Trying to get James to lose it here. Katelyn just forced to watch.”

Cassidy turns and stomps him in the face and then again. James rolls over. Cassidy turns and runs over and nails Katelyn again. Katelyn falls off again as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Katelyn Buehler putting everything behind that KTFO. Making sure she gave Ace something to think about when he can figure out where he is.”

Knots: “I’m just happy to see Cassidy and Ace get knocked down a peg!”

Sharper: “And Katelyn standing for her family and what she feels is best. James Evans supporting her here, as he returns to the SCW ring officially as a full-time competitor and Katelyn Buehler getting exactly what she wanted tonight. She wanted this match.”

Katelyn climbs to the corner and looks at one of the camera, sending a message before ending it with a heart, drawn with her hands. She hops down as we then cut away.

We open up backstage to see Jessica Winters standing backstage with Katya, the boss’ youngest daughter.

Jessica: “I am here with Katya and Katya, you mentioned you had an idea earlier to your father. Apparently, approved also by your sister, and you wanted some time.”

Katya: “I did and thank you. It’s a chance to move on see and I think it should be something that happens regardless of the match later. So on Breakdown when we return after our hiatus, Regan Street and my father will meet in the ring. And both should apologize to one another for everything they’d put each other through.”

Jessica: “Apologize? I’m sorry, but that-“

Katya: “Simple? Yes. And it’s needed to happen. But it’s to ensure they start off on a fresh step forward regardless of what happens tonight.’

Jessica: “But what if one, whether Regan or your father says no.”

Katya: “For my father, that I’m not sure. But I can tell you I may be a bit disappointed. For Regan…it’s simple. She’s fired. And that’s not coming from me. I don’t make those decisions. But Sasha does, she’s on the board. And she’s passed it by them while my father was making decisions on site here.”

Jessica: “Wow…”

Jessica smiles a bit.

Katya: “If they want to move on, this is the chance. If not…something needs to change. And that’s that.”

Katya smiles as she turns to her.

Jessica: “Well that’s a big announcement, but we’ll see if later tonight, either are even willing to consider that.”

Katya nods.

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

We cut back to the ring.

We hear the bell sounds as the cameras pan across the Rogers Centre.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit, and is for the SCW United States Championship!”

The SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. The horns of “I’m Worth It” by Fifth Harmony echo throughout the stadium as the crowd starts to boo. White spotlights circle the arena as we see one spotlight shine down on the stage as the stage lights otherwise go off. A few moments pass before we see Bree Lancaster walk out from the back and look down at the crowd, before slowly looking up, almost looking down on everyone over her nose. Scott Burnside walks out with her and the two look around. We cut to the luxury box to see Amy Chastaine’s eyes locked on the stage. We then cut back to the stage as Bree Lancaster extends her arms as sparks start to fall behind her from the top of the set to the stage.

Phillips: “The challenger, accompanied by Scott Burnside, she hails from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is Bree Lancaster!”

The crowd boos as her nameplate comes up and she starts to walk down to the ring. She walks down to the ring, checking her robe clasp briefly before making the long walk to the ring. The camera follows her down as Bree Lancaster’s eyes scan the arena. Scott follows her down and they reach the ringside area and she stops and looks in the ring before looking up at the luxury boxes. We cut to see a shot from Amy Chastaine’s box, looking down at the entrance way, focusing on Bree before Bree walks up the steel steps as Scott hops up and holds the ropes open. Bree steps through. She then does a circle the ring before stopping and looking at the main camera. Scott takes her robe off as the crowd boos. Scott turns and walks off as Bree throws her arms in the air as the crowd boos her some more. She just glares at the Toronto crowd as Scott exits the ring and her music fades out.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster ready for this match. Her and Jason Helms have no loved lost. All surrounding Amy Chastaine. Chastaine’s career ended at Taking Hold of the Flame. Bree using the Classifier to do it.”

Knots: “She says she didn’t mean to. That’s the consequences of what she did. And Jason Helms got Amy Chastaine’s spot in the battle royal, eliminated Bree, and since then, it’s gotten more and more heated. I mean Bree’s dating Jason’s half-brother, Dom!”

Sharper: “This is about fighting for Amy Chastaine. Also, Bree does not support Amy’s decision to have an open marriage, having a relationship with Jason Helms while Amy is married to Bree’s brother, Wyatt. And the US Title is in the middle of this all too.”

The lights start to go out. A few moments pass as the intro to “Hated” by Beartooth starts to play throughout the Rogers Centre. The crash of drums and the wail of guitars kick the song in properly and as the volume doubles a spotlight appears on the stage to show a smirking Jason Helms standing there with his arms out wide and the fans cheer at the sight of him. The SCW United States Championship is around his waist. He looks around and smiles before he throats his head back as Aniya Helms walks out in front of Jason and leaning her head back into the chest of Jason. She brings her arms up around his neck as Jason lowers his head and Aniya steps forward before Jason takes off his jacket and throws it down. He then starts to walk forward, yelling out to the crowd as they cheer.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Aniya Helms, hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, he is the reigning and defending SCW United States Champion, he is Jason Helms!”

We see Bree looking on as Jason starts to head down the rampway. The crowd continues to cheer for him as lights flash underneath him on the rampway. His nameplate comes up for a moment as they continue down their way. Amy is shown smiling from her luxury box as we see Wyatt with her, along with Jaina. Jason takes a few more moments before stepping past the camera and running down the rampway and he runs over and slides into the ring and gets up to his feet. He runs past Bree who backs up as Jason goes to the corner and throws his arms up. The crowd roars as Aniya reachesthe ringside area. Jason looks around before hopping down. He turns to Bree and then takes off his US Championship. He looks at it before looking at Bree and smirking before turning and handing it to the official. Jason then walks around the ring and goes to the corner and leans back as Bree turns and looks at him. The referee holds the title over his head before handing it off. Aniya settles in Jason’s corner.

Sharper: “US Championship on the line. Jason Helms riled up and ready to go.”

Knots: “Bree is too. Too bad the stick up her ass may slow her down.”

Sharper: “Don’t care for her?”

Knots: “Not everything who she’s become, what she’s said. I’m looking forward to this. Another title shot. Blake won earlier. Maybe Bree was his albatross and her own too!”

Sharper: “Both have to be careful. Standard rules here. Both are liable to get caught up in this. US Title is in the balance but this is about more than that too!”

The bell sounds. The crowd roars as Jason leans back, looking at Bree. Bree just fumes at him for a moment before running at him. The crowd roars and Jason ducks and spins around. Bree hits the corner and Jason chops her. The crowd woos. He chops her again. More woos. Bree pushes him back and lunges out and nails him with a forearm shot. Jason then chops her again. The crowd woos. Bree hits the mat and gets back up and turns and Jason grabs her and wrenches her arm. She jerking her arm. Bree yells out. Jason holds on and jerks on it again. He pushes her into the ropes before firing her off. Jason falls back into the ropes too and Bree bounces off and Jason runs at her and clotheslines her down. Bree rolls over, moving to the floor and backing up to the barricade. (1) She kicks at it and walks around as Scott goes over to calm her down. Jason just smirks as he stands in the middle of the ring, watching her. (2)

Sharper: “Bree backing off. Jason Helms ready for this one.”

Knots: “Bree thought she was and now she can throw her little temper tantrum. Get Scott to tell her its fine. But being judgemental doesn’t help for winning matches!”

Knots: “And Jason’s going for the arm!”

He starts to slowly pull himself up and Bree walks over and smiles before kicking Jason in the ribs and then again nd again.

Sharper: “Jason…he’s trying for Amy’s move! The Tourniquet!”

Knots: “Bree’s fighting it! He’s trying to beat Bree with Amy’s move!”

Scott jumps up and down in glee.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW United States Champion…Bree Lancaster!”

Sharper: “It was just too much. Jason went for the arm. Bree went for the leg. Bree showing her prowess with submission holds and Jason couldn’t hold on anymore.”

Knots: “He was so close to getting to the ropes, but…we’ll never hear the end of this.”

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster-“

Knots: “Mason! Wait! No! Teller!”

Sharper: “Lancaster is the US Champion!”

Bree starts to get up and Scott enters the ring. The referee goes to present Bree with the SCW United States Championship, but Scott takes it before turning and placing the title around the waist of Bree. She puts her arms up in the air as we cut to the luxury box as Amy Chastaine looks on and shakes her head. Bree just smiles as she looks around. Scott steps back and points to her as Bree holds her arms in the air and continues to pose. Her music plays throughout the arena and Bree walks over to the corner and steps up to the turnbuckle, before turning and looking out to the luxury box. She then continues to look out and smirks before dropping down. She then points to herself as Jason holds his leg, while leaning against the ropes. Aniya checks on him.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster pleased with herself.”

Knots: “Of course. She’s finally holding gold. And she get to hold this over Amy.”

Sharper: “That’s both true. But at Rise to Greatness XV, she finally showed she can win the big one. A lot of questions. She gave some answers tonight.”

Knots: “Why? Why did she have to?!”

Bree Lancaster continues to look around, enjoying her win. Jason is helped out of the ring and Aniya helps him towards the back as Bree Lancaster points to the title around her waist.

“Live in the Moment” by Portugal, the Man starts to play and the RTGXV logo comes up on the screen before showing Syren, Donovan Kayl, Thirteen and Sienna Swann.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster winning the US Title, but will her best friend win the number one contendership to the World Championship? Or Will Donovan Kayl have that moment in his hometown? Or will Thirteen step up and remind us what he can do? Or will Syren finally get her rematch? We’ll find out, and it’s next and let’s see how we got here.”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

The scene opens up with a shot of Syren standing in the ring, holding the SCW World Championship. She looks around before we see a shot of Sienna Swann having her arm raised at Retribution 2018, smiling as she backs away. A few moments pass before Thirteen is shown watching from the stage, a backstage shot, showing him just watching the ring, the crowd muted in the background. Donovan Kayl is shown standing with Kennedy Street before we hear then commissioner David Helms’ voice.

Helms: “Donovan Kayl. And he will challenge for the World Title that night.”

The crowd roaring is heard. Sienna Swann is shown in the ring, smiling, Laura Steinbeck and the Truelove Twins behind her.

Sharper: “It was an interesting night at Taking Hold of the Flame. CHBK getting involved the battle royal. Ravyn Taylor apparently swapping numbers with Regan, but all of that is alleged and Syren nearly winning the Taking Hold of the Flame.”

Knots: “Since then, Sienna Swann has been calling Syren too.”

This is followed by a shot of Syren who looks around, standing with Ravyn Taylor, CHBK and Katya.

Syren: “See, if we’re going to start to go by twitter challenges, we should probably do them in order and that would mean when Kennedy Street agreed to defend her title against me, I should get that match first! So, it’s simple…give me my title rematch. Better yet, if you want to save your money on the marketing, fearing that Kennedy may not get it done, have it at Rise to Greatness.”

Sienna is shown.

Sienna: “I became the NEW Perfect Ten, just like since 2016, Selena was the talk of the town and in one hour I changed the subject matter on this topic and it is now about your Heavenly Angel! I am the NEXT one in line for the World Championship! I am your IronAngel!”

This is followed by a shot of Donovan Kayl standing in the ring. He looks around.

Kayl: “And I could stand here and accept it or I could look at SCW. I could point out how Syren is calling for title shots. Sienna is too and from my position, they may have the skills, but they should not be next in line. We’ve had enough of the people who feel owed to be champion. NO ONE is owed anything.”

Shot of Thirteen flash on the screen. Thirteen looking at Donovan Kayl in the ring follows.

Thirteen: “Well, Donovan, you say that Syren and Sienna Swann have the talent to be legitimate champions. Syren, obviously, has won the title. But I feel I should be the judge of that. And so Donovan, you ask what awaits you moving forward, I think you and I have a pretty good idea.”

Mr. D is shown standing with Sienna Swann.

Mr. D: “You wanted to be number one…well, I can’t give you that, but I can give you another chance to show what you can do in the ring. With the World Title, with your actions, there are others who want some things. Because at Rise to Greatness, Sienna, you’ll be in a fatal four way match. Winner receives a World Championship shot at Apocalypse. And in it, we’ll see you….we’ll see Syren…we’ll see Thirteen….and we’ll see Donovan Kayl!”

Sienna looks at Mr. D unimpressed.

Sienna: “You think they can all hold a candle to me?!”

“Natural” by Imagine Dragons starts to play as we see a shot of Donovan Kayl and Thirteen in the middle of the ring before cutting to a shot of Syren and Sienna Swann backstage in the tunnel.

Syren: “Come on! Get out there. We all know I’m the star here!”

Sienna: “Please…just some of the dust I’ll blow away when I get through you at Rise to Greatness. Have your moment. You won’t be having more left!”

We then see Syren nailing Sienna with a shot before we cut to shots of Sienna hitting shoot kicks on Syren and then a shot of Syren going to throw Sienna off the stage. We then cut to show Kayl and Thirteen getting involved before cutting to show Kayl throwing Syren into the ring apron. Thirteen is shown hitting Sienna with a northern lights suplex.

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

We then cut to show Mr. D and Donovan Kayl face to face backstage.

Kayl: “And yet…I’ve been put under some new forms of pressure. Pressure that makes me question a lot in my twenty year career. Questioning maybe how much of this is worth it if those are the types of ultimatums that are going to be made.”

We cut to hear Mr. D’s voice.

Mr. D: “But let’s not forget why you and Thirteen are in this match. What you both said…I happen to agree with. But while I’m also sick of prima donnas and people asking for the world and the attitudes…I’m tired of anchors.”

Kayl: “And I understand that some of their actions are not becoming of champions…but they still need to win at Rise to Greatness. Whether it’s Syren, or Sienna, or Thirteen or me. One of us has to go through three others.”

Sienna Swann is shown standing up to Donovan Kayl.

Sienna: “But I will just show that I am the next top star in this business, no questions asked when I erase the past. Shove Syren from the top of the mountain like she deserves…remove Thirteen from having any claim at the top again…and maybe just finally put you out of your misery. It’ll be in your hometown too. A shame. But what needs to do be done…to Erase the Past and make the future today.”

This is followed by a shot of Sienna Swann hitting Donovan Kayl with the Kiss of an Angel in the ring.

Knots: “Exactly what she plans to do at Rise to Greatness!”

Natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah, you're a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah, you're a natural

We then cut to see Thirteen locking in the Last Breath on Syren from Gang Rulz 2012. Syren struggles to get to the ropes as we see Thirteen pull her back as the bell sounds. We see Thirteen holding the SCW World Championship.

Thirteen: “Hearing Sienna talk about erasing the past. Hearing Syren demanding title shots. So what if Kennedy said she would. This is where the old rule that the boss is the one calling the shots is more important. And right now, you have to earn. Both of you do. Syren, you know first hand what I can do. Sienna…Regan can talk big, but she knows how close I was to taking away her title several months ago. You both want this…you have to go through us too.”

The song continues with an instrumental. Syren is then shown rolling her eyes as she snaps at someone in the ring. We then see Syren backstage before showing her nailing Sienna from behind, driving her into the ring at the end of the last edition of Breakdown, seeing it from multiple angles.

Syren: “Thirteen, the one who is now picking up the luggage for the boos and who beat me years ago for the title…I get a bit of revenge. Donovan Kayl, who intentionally used his Trios Tournament to stop me from getting my rightful shot…I get a bit of revenge. And then there’s Sienna Swann, talking about erasing the past. Please. Just another slogan from an empty person who won’t get on over Dark Fantasy again…I’m better than everyone in this match and Sienna Swann can claim whatever she wants. The only thing that’s going to be erased regarding her are her title hopes. I’m getting my title shot and after Rise to Greatness, I’m facing the World Champion and everyone can be TOTALLY Jealous!”

We then see a shot of Syren taking Kayl down with a Yakuza Kick, before cutting to a shot of Thirteen hitting a German suplex on Sienna Swann, before cutting to Donovan Kayl smirking as he stands with Kennedy Street, and then showing Sienna Swann hitting Syren with a shoot kick to the ribs. We follow up with shots of each of the four standing tall, celebrating, Syren holding the World Title at Learning from History, Sienna Swann standing tall at Retribution, Donovan Kayl standing tall at Trios Tournament and Thirteen standing tall, holding the SCW World Championship after Gang Rulz many years ago. The SCW Rise to Greatness XV logo comes up on the screen.

The lights in the Rogers Centre all go out, prompting a small pop from the fans. After a few moments, a very familiar opening we haven't heard in what feels like an eternity begins to emanate from the arena sound system as a mixture of red and purple lighting and smoke begin to engulf the stage. The big screen is displaying grainy black and white footage of clips from Thirteen's past... a past many seem to have forgotten. From the night Sasha D. was run down to the drive-by sledgehammer attack on Christian Savior, the brutal choking out of Jason Zero to the Broken Wings on CHBK and spearing Andrew Samuel Pugh out of the air against the ring en route to becoming Adrenaline Champion, counting Savior's spear into a Last Breath at Rise to Greatness X, and finally, as the malevolent melody crescendos towards its end, the clip of Thirteen from Gang Rulz 2012 as he chokes Syren out before one final shot of him holding the SCW World Championship with a sadistic smile on his face as Adam Sharper's call from that night echoes throughout the arena.

Sharper: “Thirteen! He’s the new World Champion! From public enemy number one to the top of the mountain! My God!”

The music suddenly fades out as this clip also fades from the Tron, before we hear a deep and demonic voice call out.

“You cannot erase the past simply because it doesn't fit what you want in the present or future. Doing so will only unearth a long forgotten darkness that will consume all who stand in its path.”

#Rrwoooaaaw!#

As that roar blasts through the PA system, startling quite a few fans in the process, a massive wall of fire erupts on the stage as the unmistakable sound of "Hell" by Disturbed blasts out through the stadium. As the lyrics start, the fire dies down only for bursts of it to erupt in rhythm with the song on the sides of the stage. In the center, a square of fire remains through the fog, and it's through this that a figure, Thirteen, donning a tattered black hooded cloak adorned with chains rises, as though coming from Hell itself. His nameplate comes up.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with an hour long time limit and is for the number one contendership for the SCW World Championship. First, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Thirteen!”

Thirteen stands there for a moment before he slowly begins to move down the ramp towards the ring, the fans buzzing at this turn of events as they're unsure of what to make of it, but there are more than enough cheers for the man beneath that veil. When he reaches ringside, the figure leaps up onto the apron and steps between the ropes before dropping down to one knee in the center of the ring, where he whips his head back and throws off the hood to reveal his face, a sick smile once believed to have been lost to time adorning his face. He runs his thumb across his throat before giving a thumbs down, then throws his arms out to his sides with his palms to the sky, causing flames to erupt from the turnbuckle posts. He slowly rises to a stand and removes his cloak, the focus in his eyes and the smirk on his lips an almost disturbing mix of the old and the new.

Sharper: “As if coming from hell, to reappear for tonight’s high stakes match, Thirteen stands in the ring.”

Knots: “Old music. Old attitude. The same one that won him the World Title years ago against Syren.”

Sharper: “And that comment from the boss, he does not want anchors. I wonder if this is a result of that statement.”

Knots: “Already seen Xander Valentine fired tonight!”

"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

A few moments pass before we see Donovan Kayl walk out from the back and look out at the crowd. He looks out and nods. With each major note, he throws his arms up as the crowd roars. He continues to survey the crowd as his nameplate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “Next, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada…”

The crowd cheers.

Phillips: “He is the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!”

The cheers continue as Kayl nods and starts to get ready before making his way down to the ring. He keeps his eyes focused on the ring as he makes the long walk down the rampway with purpose. He reaches the part where he’s level with the fans before he starts to high-five a few fans before getting down to the floor. He then looks at the ring and runs forward and hops onto the apron. He then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and looking out at the crowd. He soaks in the moment as the crowd continues to cheer. Kayl throws his arms up as the cheers continue. He then jumps down to the ring and spins around, dropping to a knee, shooting his arms out. He then takes a moment before getting up and looking around. He then looks at the crowd and nods.

Sharper: “His hometown. He wanted something big. He could earn a rematch at the World Title tonight.”

Knots: “But he has to go through some of the best. But Donovan Kayl looks ready. I’ll give him that. He looks like he’s not going to be that anchor. He’s going to rise.”

Sharper: “Now the question is who is going to come out first…Syren or Sienna?”

Knots: “They may kill each other in the tunnel.”

The lights go out as the crowd roars. We then hear the sound of a heart beating twice. Pink hearts appear on the screens before we see the familiar silhouettes of Syren appear all over the RTGXV logo which turns pink. The heart continues to beat before we then hear the sounds of “Groupie” by Cassie Steele start to play. The crowd starts to boo before the lights continue to flash pink while going off at certain points, before they turn back on and we see Syren standing in the middle of the stage. She looks down at the ring and out at the crowd as the crowd boos loudly. She turns around and points to the back of her jacket where we see the words “JUST BE JEALOUS” on the back with her heart logo. She then spins around before looking at the crowd and then the ring before stretching and starting to walk down to the ring.

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

Syren heads down the rampway as the cameras follow her down. She continues on her way as the camera cuts to a wide shot to see the stage and ramp completely in pink. Syren continues to head down the rampway to the ring as the crowd boos her. She ignores the fans as she walks to the ringside area. She walks around the ringpost and then hops onto the apron. She looks at Thirteen and Kayl as they wait on the floor. Syren then steps into the ring, quickly, and then turns and goes to the far corner and climbing up to the middle turnbuckle. She raises her arms in the air as the crowd boos. She then looks around before mockingly blowing a kiss to the crowd. She smirks before hopping down and walking across the ring to the opposite side. The camera focuses on her as she raises her arms again. She continues to look around before blowing another kiss to the crowd. She then hops down and backs up and walks around the ring. She starts to take off her ring jacket.

Sharper: “Syren coming out first and a very different sound here at Rise to Greatness….the boos from all over.”

Knots: “Yeah and what’s the plan for this one. She wants this. I’m sure we’re going to see something at work here.”

Sharper: “I don’t know what. It’s a fatal four way, so no disqualifications or countouts and I expect Syren and maybe Ravyn Taylor if she’s able to get away from people to do something.”

Knots: “Thirteen and Kayl better not screw this up…Then again, we could be seeing the IronAngel finally Erase the Past!”

We see a long red carpet rolled out on the stage. We see several photographers all over the stage as Syren is shown rolling her eyes in the ring. We then see Laura Steinbeck standing a few feet down with the photographers as the lights all go out. Sienna’s voice is then heard.

“Time….to Erase the Past!”

A few moments pass before we see a lone spotlight appear on the stage as we see Sienna Swann on the stage. Her wings extend out behind her as she poses and “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play. The crowd boos as Sienna poses for a few moments as the photographers take pictures. Her nameplate comes up on the screen as Sienna then stops posing and extends her arms as we see ring crew members running over and undoing the straps on her wings. They pull it off as Sienna looks at the ring before starting to make her way down.

Phillips: “And finally, from Johannesburg, South Africa, representing Past, Present, Future, she is the IronAngel, Sienna Swann!”

The crowd boos as Sienna Swann looks out at the crowd with a bit of a snarl as she continues on her way to the ring. She walks down past the photographers and down the red carpet. She continues down the rampway and to the ring. The camera follows her down before she reaches the ringside area as the lights turn gold and silver before she walks up the steel steps and then climbs up to the top rope and posing on the corner. She looks into the ring as Syren, Kayl and Thirteen look at her. Syren already is starting to motion on going into the ring. Sienna steps into the ring and then looks forward. She looks at her opponents. Kayl pulls himself into the ring as Thirteen walks up the steel steps. Syren pulls herself onto the apron and enters the ring too. Sienna leans back and the four all look at one another from their respective corners.

Sharper: “She says she’s going to Erase the Past. A lot of history in that ring, between each other, in their actions…”

Knots: “A lot of championships too. And the IronAngel, she has an hour to get it done if she wants it. That’s plenty of time for her!”

Sharper: “Yeah, Jon. But we all know how much Syren wants that shot. Thirteen and Kayl were given a strong statement from Mr. D. Motivation is great. And everyone here has gotten it done on the big stage. Donovan Kayl is undefeated at Rise to Greatness. Syren’s defended her title at Rise to Greatness. Thirteen is a former World Champion. Sienna Swann has proven this year she can beat the best. Something has to give. Only one is walking away the number one contender!”

The bell sounds and Sienna steps out of the corner, but Syren runs over and nails her with a forearm shot. She then turns as Sienna staggers back and kicks Kayl in the ribs.

Sienna starts to get up before we see her grab Kayl. But as she does, we see someone hopping the barricade and moving to the ring, wearing a variation of what looks similar to El Angel del Cielo’s gear, but instead, it’s a male, evident by the lack of a top, but masked. He slides into the ring. The crowd looks on and many roar. The referee tries to stop him, but he nails him with a hard right. Sienna turns and looks at him, before turning to Syren.

She rolls over, holding her head in pain. Sienna rolls off and just smiles, in pure joy while on her back.

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

Sharper: “Syren tried everything. Kayl and Thirteen brought their A-game. Sienna Swann however was able to get the Kiss from an Angel and she now has a World Title opportunity at Apocalypse!”

Knots: “The IronAngel is now Number One Contender! And Syren, you tried everything. A chair. Interference, but at the end, Thirteen and Kayl stopped it and well, it’s a four way. Sienna took advantage.”

Sharper: “Sienna Swann is over the moon. The disappointment that has to be setting in for Donovan Kayl, for Thirteen and for Syren.”

The crowd looks on as “Style” plays. Sienna gets up and has her arm raised. She smiles as he looks around before then turning and telling the official to get out of the ring. She tells him to get Kayl out as Syren just sits on the floor and looks up at Sienna and clearly is trying to keep it together. Thirteen gets up on the other end as Kayl slowly rolls out of the ring. Sienna then poses in the middle of the ring. The crowd boos as Sienna then enjoys her spotlight in the middle of the ring.

We see Regan Street throwing her arms up and snapping at officials. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost holding the SCW World Championship. She just looks at Regan as the two are locking eyes.

Dawson: “The World Championship was the first symbol of their break and the one that ensured the relationship would never be the same again.”

Selena: “I wish we could go back to where we were laughing about weekend plans, but you took that away, so I’m going to now at least do it this way…Hazardous Envy. You have that chip on your shoulder. Well how about you take me on for the World Title. And if I win, we’ll see if you have it in you to actually be a human being or you really don’t give a damn about me.”

We then cut to a fading in shot of Regan Street hitting a baseball slide on Selena as she tries to enter the ring.

Dawson: “As Regan Street competing working to get herself back to that point, she became more and more unhinged before taking the US Championship and the two former friends, now rivals, were fated to face again. The result a different one.”

We see Selena Frost in the ring and Regan Street on the stage.

Regan: “So Selena, sorry to your True Believers…all of the dimwits that actually want to see you succeed. I’m not going to give you that opportunity. I am just going to take great pleasure that at the Future is Now, when I defend my title against you, on making sure you fail. Because my future sees you left in tears and knowing you won’t ever hold this title.”

She smiles backing up. We then cut to shots of Past, Present, Future in the ring, including shots of them attacking Selena Frost at Trios Tournament, and shots of Selena Frost fighting alongside Alexis Quinne against Sienna Swann and Regan Street.

Dawson: “But now, it was something deeper. The desire for revenge too much for Regan Street. The desire to destroy. Affecting old allies. Platinum was erased in the past…Past, Present, Future was the present and future.”

We then cut to show Regan Street piledriving Mr. D. The crowd ohs. Regan smiling is shown.

Dawson: “But as Regan Street continued to become more unhinged, the rivalry only continued when Selena Frost would refuse to accept her anger and rage as anything close to acceptable.”

Silent shots of Selena Frost calling out Regan Street is shown, before showing David Helms holding Regan back and Regan snapping back at David Helms before showing Selena Frost holding a steel chair on Breakdown. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost eliminating Regan Street out from the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal as the sound returns to hear the crowd cheering.

Regan: “So allow me to say this clearly…if you want to face me Selena, you need to use your Trios Tournament shot to do so.”

Selena: “But if she wants to keep running, I can say one thing right now…I have bigger plans for the Trios Tournament shot and believe it, she’s not going to like them either.”

Dawson: “The World Championship and the US Championship came into play again, intertwined as Selena Frost hoped to ensure that Regan Street would not thrive as she sought to scorch the earth and inflict her dominance.”

We see shots of Regan Street and Selena Frost clashing backstage, in the ring, and in interview segments, the shots flying past the screen. We see a shot of Regan Street storming in the parking lot, looking for Selena’s bus, before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost and Regan Street brawling.

Regan: “You wanted to face me a couple of weeks ago. Well Selena, here you go. And trust me, I already had a blast taking Mr. D, dropping him on his head and trust me, best decision I made. You want me, here I am and we can even fight until you find yourself in the same situation as Mr. D, struggling to breathe through your neck collar while I’m still showing that THIS INDUSTRY is run by me.”

Dawson: “It was only the beginning. With the return of another victim of Regan Street, Selena Frost was emboldened by the announcement of a match. To end this rivalry once and for all…”

Mr. D walking to the ring is shown before we see Selena Frost standing next to him.

Mr. D: “Selena…I’m going to give you what you want. What Regan wants. What everyone wants. One more match. And your Trios contract won’t change that. Regan Street against Selena Frost!”

The crowd erupts in cheers. Mr. D looks at Selena as Selena smiles and nods.

Mr. D: “And I’m going to be the special guest referee!”

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Oh my God.”

Knots: “You’re kidding! He’s going to put himself in the middle of it!”

Sharper: “That’s right in the danger zone…”

Selena looks surprised and even can be seen saying “You sure?”

Mr. D: “Selena…don’t doubt me on this. I want to be in that ring. I’ll either count Regan Street’s shoulders to the mat…or I’ll have to count yours. But it’s going to end one way or another. This is it.”

Dawson: “Over two years in the making. No holds barred….”

We see more shots of Regan Street attacking Selena Frost and Selena Frost attacking Regan Street, before following up with shots of the two of them brawling at Breakdown in the tag team match between Jason Helms and Selena Frost against Regan Street and Bree Lancaster.

Dawson: “It ends…tonight…either with the roar of the Hellcat…or the True Believers standing tall!”

We see Regan Street and Selena Frost locking eyes as the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

The bell sounds and we hear Jason Phillips’ voice as the cameras pan across the crowd.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a no holds barred match, scheduled for onefall, with a thirty minute time limit and will the final time these two face. First…on his way to the ring, the special referee for this match, the SCW Chairman and Owner, Mr. D!”

The crowd roars and a generally positive reaction comes from the crowd as we see Mr. D walk out from the back, wearing a referee’s shirt. He walks past the stage and continues on his way to the ring, the camera following him down on his long walk to the ring.

Sharper: “This is one of those matches that you don’t know how to pick and with that man in the middle, it’s just more unpredictable.”

Knots: “He could screw over Regan outright.”

Sharper: “Not what Selena wants at all and he promised her he will call it down the middle. But you wonder, given how Regan Street has wanted to do anything to get under his skin. They hate each other. Regan hates Selena. Selena even standing up for Mr. D after Regan Street piledrove Mr. D in April.”

Mr. D walks down the rampway before reaching the mats. He walks up the steel steps and walks along the apron. He then wipes his feet before stepping into the ring and stepping forward. His nameplate comes up as he looks around before we cut to the entrance way. The stage lights go all white, and white covers the stage. A few moments pass.

“BELIEVE IT!”

“What I Believe” by Skillet starts to play. The crowd roars as the lights continue to remain on as we then see Selena Frost walk out from the back, wearing all white wrestling attire and standing at the top of the stage. She looks down, taking a few moments as she absorbs the reaction she is getting. Her nameplate comes up on the screen as the music continues to play. Selena slowly looks up and looks out at the crowd before listening to the crowd. Her eyes scan the near seventy thousand fans in attendance.

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

The crowd cheers a bit as Selena starts to walk down to the ring. We see white and blue pyro shoot up from the stage and high into the air behind her as she starts to make her way down. It shots up three times as Selena focuses on the ring and continues on her way to the ring. The crowd looks on and cheers her as Selena walks down the rampway. The camera follows her down as we then cut to a shot of the ring where Selena Frost reaches it and runs over to the ring and slides in. She gets up as spotlights all rush in to her as Selena Frost gets up in the middle of the ring. She takes off her cape and turns and looks around before looking around the Rogers Centre. She just takes it before turning and going to Mr. D. She says something to him. Mr. D nods as Selena hands off the cape.

Sharper: “Selena Frost all business. The white, the purity, the sanctity of what she believes in.”

Knots: “And Regan is going to look to snuff it out.”

Sharper: “Not if Selena has anything to say about. She has faced a number of people who all stood for similar self-interest and benefit. And Selena has outdone them all. Will Regan Street be next on that list and with no chance for revenge. That’s the issue. These two have a long history and this is it.”

Selena’s music plays for a few moments longer before fading out. The lights on the stage start to slowly flicker out, one after another, before every light, including the big screens are turned out, leading to blackness. A few moments pass before we hear the sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen before “Who’s Next” by Porcelain Black start to play throughout the arena. The crowd starts to give a mixed reaction as the music kicks into gear. A few moments pass before we see Regan Street, dressed entirely in a black catsuit, walks out from the back. She smirks as she looks down at the ring. Mikaela Street walks out behind her and Regan Street looks down at the ring and at Selena Frost, the smile only getting bigger. Her name plate comes up on the screen.

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street, she represents Past, Present, Future. From Beverly Hills, California, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”

Regan Street takes a deep breath before then starting to storm down to the ring. Mikaela Street follows her. The camera cuts to a wide shot to show how dark the arena is with only a spotlight on Regan and one on the ring lighting them up. Selena can be seen watching her before the camera cuts to Mr. D as Regan Street continues to walk down to the ring.

Sharper: “Those looks say it all. And we can talk about the issues between Regan and Mr. D. That’s just one layer. The issues between Regan and Selena are far more personal. Former friends, now heated rivals. Regan has threaten Selena’s wife. Talked about her children. Accused her of using her to get ahead. It’s even more than just professional jealousy.”

Knots: “They hate each other. Add that Regan Street has wanted the World Title. Selena has risen to the top and stayed there. Regan…she’s been US Champion. She’s been dominant. But she’s taken all of this personally. And Selena and Regan…they’re going to fight, no holds barred.”

Sharper: “They fought in a falls count anywhere match at The Future is Now. This…it’s even more heated than then. There’s finality here. Not closure. Not even revenge. Finality. Whoever wins will have that over the other forever.”

Regan Street reaches the ring and pulls herself up onto the apron. She looks in at both as Mikaela Street walks up the steel steps. Regan enters the ring and Mikaela steps in. Regan looks forward and Selena and Regan go right into each other’s face. Regan just smirks as Selena continues to glare right at her. Mr. D looks on, watching both as Regan then slowly backs up and takes off her entrance attire and hands it off. Mikaela Street takes it and steps out of the ring. Her music fades out as the crowd roars. Regan keeps looking at Selena and glancing over to Mr. D before turning to Selena.

Sharper: “The intensity here is off the page.”

Knots:” And when Mr. D sounds for that bells, this is all going to go nuts.”

Mr. D then turns and calls for the bell. It sounds and the crowd roars. Regan then turns and runs at Selena. Selena run at her and the two swing and nail each other at the same time with a hard right hands. Selena staggers a bit more and Regan follows up with another hard right and then another and then a third. Selena turns and grabs Regan and turns and pushes her to the ropes and then starts to push through and both go through the ropes and down to the floor. Regan gets free as Selena starts to get up and Regan turns and spears Selena back into the ring apron. The crowd ohs. Regan then rears back and nails her with a hard right and then another as Mr. D watches from the ring. Regan steps back and lunges towards Selena and Selena kicks her hard in the chest. She falls back and into the Spanish announce table. Selena then runs at her and nails her with a tackle, taking her up and over the announce table. They turn through and roll to the side, causing our Spanish announcers to get out of the way. Selena ends up on top.

Sharper: “Selena and Regan bowling over the top of the table next to us.”

Knots: “They’ve been right at each other since the bell sounded!”

Sharper: “The boss is just watching this from the ring. He’s going to let them fight!”

Knots: “No countouts. No DQ. Let’s let them finish this and he said he’d stay out of the way. He’s showing it immediately!”

Selena winces a bit as she starts to get up and throws a hard overhead right to the jaw of Regan while she’s on the ground and then another and finally a third before stepping forward as Regan starts to struggle underneath. Selena turns to the English table and leans on it. She turns around as Regan starts to get up and hits a straight kick to the ribs and Regan falls back and into the French table. Selena then climbs up onto the Spanish table and runs across, jumping up and grabbing Regan’s head and driving it into the French table with a bulldog. The table doesn’t budge and Regan rolls off and down to the mats in front of the tables.

Sharper: “Off the table! Bulldog and Regan found out that these tables are sometimes harder than rocks.”

Knots: “Probably would’ve been worse if she went through it though. She’s dazed though.”

Selena turns to Regan and stomps her in the chest and then again. Regan rolls over and winces, reaching out to the ring apron. Selena grabs her and pulls her up and drives her face first into the ring apron. Regan stumbles back and Selena grabs her and spins her around and turns before throwing her into the barricade, right by the timekeeper and Regan goes up and over and into the crowd. The crowd cheers. Selena then looks around before backing up to the French table. Regan slowly starts to pull herself up on the floor and Selena then runs along the mats before jumping up and over the barricade, nailing Regan with a dive and tackling her down into the walkway in the crowd. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Selena leaving her feet again! This time into the crowd!”

Knots: “And like a missile just nailing Regan.”

Sharper: “Regan even had a chance to try and catch her, but the impact, caused her to land back hard on the concrete! And last time these two fought in the crowd, we had some property damage to deal with!”

Mr. D looks on from the ring, not keeping his eyes off of the two as Selena starts to get up. Regan stumbles up to her feet and turns around and Selena nails her with a spinning back kick to the ribs. Regan stumbles back and rolls through. Security keeps fans away as Selena moves after Regan and mounts her and nails her with a hard forearm and then another and another. Selena gets up and walks around before turning as Regan starts to crawl towards the seats. Selena storms over to her again and grabs her before Regan suddenly grabs a fan’s beer and nails Selena in the face with it. She goes down, squinting and trying to get the beer out of her face. Regan then grabs her by the hair and steps over her, trying to grind her face into the concrete as Selena uses her hands to protect herself. The crowd boos as Regan does this for a moment before stepping forward and looking at Mr. D. She smirks and turns to the crowd, mocking Selena.

Sharper: “Regan using whatever around and Selena down, but taking a shot at any of the True Believers.”

Knots: “Regan believes the only thing Selena has coming to her is an ass-kicking.”

Selena rolls over and starts to get up and Regan turns and kicks her in the ribs. She then scoops her up and slams her down on the concrete. Selena winces. Regan smirks as she stomps Selena in the face and then again. She grabs her by the hair, jerking on it. She looks around and then runs toward the barricade, but Selena spins through at the last moment hip tosses Regan up and over. She just narrowly misses the stairs and rolls over toward the timekeeper’s table. Selena then turns and leans on the barricade before she climbs up to the barricade. She dives forward and nails Regan in the back with a double axe handle and Regan falls over into the timekeeper’s table. Selena steps forward and walks along the mats.

Sharper: “Selena regains control. Hip toss nearly causing a bad landing, but then following up.”

Knots: “This may be Regan’s domain in a lot of ways, but Selena’s been waiting for this. Two women who just want to beat the hell out one another.”

Selena turns back to Regan and starts to grab at her, and suddenly, Regan swings and nails her with the ring bell in the shoulder. The crowd ohs and Selena falls back and leans against the English announce table. Regan grabs at the hammer, struggling to grab it as it swings, as she gets her wits about her and turns before placing the bell against the head of Selena and striking it. The crowd ohs as the bell dings, throughout the arena and Selena staggers back, holding her head and clearly in pain.

Sharper: “She’s going to make her deaf!”

Knots: “Or make the bell ring forever!”

Selena starts to get up and Regan then runs over and nails her in the head with the bell. The crowd ohs and Selena falls over, holding her head. Regan then turns and throws the bell back toward the timekeeper. She turns to Mr. D and snaps at him.

Regan: “Want to make sure everyone hears the bell when I beat her ass!”

Mr. D looks on from the ring as Regan grabs Selena by the hair and drags her up before rolling her into the ring. Regan glares at the timekeeper as he goes to grab it and Regan rolls in.

Knots: “Regan making sure the timekeeper is ready. We don’t need to go to the alternate, alternate. I’m pretty sure that’s just George the Spider at this point!”

Sharper: “And he can’t ring a bell.”

Knots: “Oh he can’t. He’s a very talented spider. More talented that Billy Rise to Greatness if you ask me!”

Mr. D looks on as Regan turns to Selena as she gets up and nails her in the back of the head with an elbow shot. Selena falls over and Regan rolls over and hooks the leg. Mr. D drops down and counts.

Selena kicks out. Regan rolls off and looks at him. Mr. D proudly proclaims two as Regan smirks. She grabs Selena and then pulls her up and runs her across, driving her face first into the top turnbuckle. Selena turns around and Regan then holds her back with her left arm and nails her with a hard right and then another and another. Regan looks at Selena, pure hatred as she then nails her with another hard right and Selena drops to a knee and Selena nails her again. Selena drops forward and falls to her knees. Regan then nails her again and again. She then pushes her, leaning her against the corner and Regan backs up and admires it.

Sharper: “Just shot after shot. Regan put everything behind every right hand.”

Knots: “No disqualification. She can keep punching under her fists fall off.”

She then runs at Selena and Selena rolls out of the way. Regan stops at the corner. She turns around and runs at Selena as she gets up and Regan clotheslines her down. She then dives onto her for the pin.

Mr. D stops as Regan morphs into a choke as Selena kicks her legs, trying to move. Regan just keeps going for Selena before yelling at her.

Regan: “Come on! Keep trying to breathe! Is D going to save you fucking life! Come on!”

Mr. D looks on, trying to tell Regan to stop before Selena keeps struggling, starting to turn red from the movement.

Sharper: “She’s trying to just choke her out!”

Knots: “And Mr. D has to make clear this isn’t going to be as fair as he’d like. Regan trying ot make Mr. D choose!”

Selena however reaches up and rakes Regan’s eyes. Regan pulls away. The crowd roars. Selena rolls away, gasping for breath. Mr. D looks at her and Selena looks at him before Mr. D backs up. Regan starts to get up and runs Selena. Selena catches Regan going for a kick. She then starts to stand up and pushes her back. Regan sits up and Selena lunges and drills her with a shining wizard. The crowd roars. Selena rolls over and starts to collect her breath again. Regan rolls over. Selena starts to move to the ropes and takes a few moments before looking over at Regan. She starts to get up and Regan gets up and turns and Selena jumps up and hits a running clothesline. Regan hits the mat. She rolls over and Selena runs at her and hits a running dropkick. Regan hits the corner and bounces off of it and falls over. She rolls to her back and Selena goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Only two. Fair count from D. No rush there.”

Knots: “Interesting…”

Selena rolls off and Regan starts to pulls herself to the corner. She slowly pulls herself up and Selena moves in and hits a shoot kick to her ribs. Regan winces. She shoot kicks her again in the ribs before kicking her a third time and then a fourth time before jumping up with a kick to the head. Regan stumbles out and collapses to the mat. Selena turns and dives for the pin.

Regan kicks out. She rolls over and Selena turns and dives onto her and grabs her by the head and rolls through, going for a rear naked choke. Regan reaches out as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “She’s responding in kind! Selena going for a choke, but a rear naked choke. A wrestling hold!”

Selena locks in the body scissors and pulls back as Regan reaches out. She keeps trying to reach out, moving her legs, trying to get to the ropes. Regan reaches out and Mr. D checks on her. He keeps looking on and Regan grabs at his shirt, trying to get any leverage and Mr. D pushes away. The crowd roars as Selena keeps pulling back and Regan then gets an elbow to the ribs of Selena. She elbows her again. Selena keeps trying, but a third elbow, causes Selena to wince and let go. Regan rolls off and to the ropes. The crowd sighs. Selena rolls over and goes to the opposite direction. Regan starts to pull herself up and Selena turns. Regan turns to Selena and Selena runs at her and Regan suddenly steps forward and lifts her up and drops her with a hot shot. Selena falls back and the crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Selena caught. Just launched up and dropped onto the top rope.”

Knots: “Regan may just make it so she can’t breathe anymore! Jesus!”

Regan then turns and rolls to the floor as Mikaela looks on. Mr. D watches as Regan drops to the floor on her knees. She grabs a steel chair from under the ring. She leans on it and gets up. Selena starts to get up in the ring and looks over. Regan smiles and starts to push up, using the chair to push up onto the apron, but Selena suddenly runs at the ropes and dropkicks the chair back into Regan’s face. Regan falls back and rolls over. She pops up, as we see blood dripping from her face and she drops down, a cut opening up over her left eye. She turns and her blood can be seen clearly coming out. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Selena kicking the chair back into the face of Regan! My God.”

Knots: “Her face exploded! She caught her with a corner! She had to!”

Sharper: “Regan, a bloody mess on the floor!”

Regan reaches out as Mikaela goes over towards her, but Selena rolls to the floor. The crowd roars as Mikaela jukes back as Selena grabs Regan and runs her face first into the ring apron.

Selena starts to get up and stomps Regan in the face and then again.

Sharper: “Regan may be in a lot of trouble as Selena Frost has over the last year proven that she will not just stand by. She can scrap with some of the best.”

Knots: “This is a war and tonight, may be the final casualties!”

Mikaela looks on as Selena turns and exits to the apron. She drops down to the floor. She then looks under the ring and then pulls out a kendo stick. She then looks at it as the crowd roars. She turns and rolls back into the ring. Regan slowly starts to get up and Selena looks over to her and then drives the kendo stick into the back of Regan.

Regan grimaces in pain and Selena nails her again in the ribs and then a third time and a fourth time. Regan rolls over and to 5the ropes. Selena then walks over and grabs Regan.

Sharper: “Over and over to the ribs. Regan has targeted them. Past, Present, Future, targeted them. The ankle too and Selena making sure Regan has something to remember her by.”

Knots: “Beyond the blood loss?”

Sharper: “Now bruised ribs, if not worse! Regan struggling to breathe now in this war.”

Regan stirs and Selena grabs her, hooking the kendo stick around her throat and pulling back with a kendo stick assisted Russian leg sweep. Selena rolls through and into a pin.

Regan shoots her shoulder up. Selena rolls off. Regan turns as more blood drips on the mat. Mr. D then moves in and actually checks on Regan, only leaning Regan to shove him back. Selena sees this and runs over and stomps her in the face.

Selena: “That’s not going to be happening anymore!”

Regan rolls over as the crowd roars. Selena then drops the kendo stick and turns and grabs Regan. She starts to pull her up and Regan suddenly rakes her eyes. Selena turns back, holding her eyes. Regan drops down and rolls to the floor. She then rolls over and looks around before starting to get up. Selena turns and rolls to the floor and walks around the ring. She starts to head over and steps up onto the ring steps, but Regan suddenly turns and kicks Selena’s leg out from under her. She falls back and chest first into the top half of the steps. The crowd ohs as Selena rolls back to be in front of the announce tables in pain.

Sharper: “Regan kicking out Selena’s legs.”

Knots: “And another hard landing. They’re so damn aggressive that they’re putting each other in bad places. I love it!”

Selena holds her chest in pain as she gets up and Regan unhooks the top half of the steps. She then looks over at Selena before hoisting it up. Selena starts to get up and Regan turns and throws the steps as best as she can, causing them to collide into Selena and Selena falls back and down to the floor. The crowd ohs and Regan looks at her and smiles. Regan saunters over to the Spanish announce table and then grabs the top of it.

Knots: “Selena’s is hard-headed. The steps just bounced off!”

Sharper: “More damage and Regan is far from done. Now undoing the Spanish announce table!”

She tosses the top off before grabbing one of the monitors. She then looks at Selena as she starts to get up and turns it, so the monitor is facing Selena and swings, nailing her in the face with it. Selena falls back and rolls over, holding her face. We notice the monitor has shattered as Regan throws it down. She then turns and grabs the other monitor and turns and throws it at Selena. Selena winces, as it hits her lower back. She grabs the third monitor and turns and throws it at her again and Selena winces as she turns and we see a welt forming on her back. We get a shot of Selena’s face, showing that she’s been cut from the first monitor shot.

Sharper: “My God! And Selena is cut too. And look at the welt on her back.”

Knots: “When they both wake up tomorrow, they’re going to be in so much pain. That’s how much they hate each other. But they just hope they’re in pain and victorious and Regan’s not done yet!”

Regan then grabs Selena and pulls her up by her hair. She then turns and swings her onto the table. Selena winces, blood dripping down onto the table as Regan looks up with her blood-caked face.

Regan: “Where did we put it?! Where?!”

Mikaela tells her to calm down and Regan turns and drops down to the nearby corner. She looks under and pulls out a canvas bag. She smiles as she looks inside and grabs something before turning and rolling into the ring. We then see her getting up with scissors in her hand. The crowd roars. Mr. D then comes over and Regan holds it over her head. Mr. D backs up and puts his hands up.

Sharper: “She has a pair of scissors…what the hell is wrong with her?”

Knots: “Okay…this is a bit nuts.”

Mr. D gets up and Selena starts to stir. Regan then turns and moves to her, moving the scissors to her hand and goes to go for the hair of Selena. Selena starts to pull away and kicks Regan in the ribs. She falls back and drops the scissors.

Sharper: “She was going to go for the hair! She was going to take something from her and make sure she wouldn’t be able to get revenge!”

The crowd roars and cheers as a “Holy Sh*t!” chant starts to break out from the crowd.

Sharper: “Selena Frost and Regan Street just dropping to the floor. With a thud.”

Knots: “And Selena Frost meant to do that!”

Sharper: “Both down. The mats…they’re just a thin bit to absorb some of the impact. It’s concrete under there! And they’re human beings!”

Selena and Regan are both down on the ground as Mr. D looks on stunned before turning and dropping down to the floor. He heads over to Selena first and checks on her. He then turns and moves over to Regan and Regan swats him away. Selena slowly rolls over.

Sharper: “That we though could be a big turning point. Regan busted open.”

Knots: “Not just busted open, but maybe completely taken out. Selena got all of that.”

Regan nailing Selena in the head with the monitor, causing her to roll over in pain and get cut is shown. The powerbomb through the table follows as Regan hoists her up and steps off, driving her through the announce table. We cut forward again to see Selena superplexing Regan off the middle rope to the floor. The crowd ohing can be heard as both bounce off the ground.

Sharper: “Selena and Regan…that showed it all. They were willing to hurt themselves to hurt the other.”

Knots: “I still can’t believe it!”

Selena hitting the Glass Shard follows before we see her covering Regan.

We see Regan Street limping in pain as she heads to the back, helped by Mikaela Street. Selena Frost is stirring as we see Mr. D stepping out of the ring. Officials check on her.

Sharper: “Mr. D did not get involved. He did the bare minimum. He called it down the middle.”

Knots: “Think he regrets that?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but the question now is what will happen with Regan and him at Breakdown…will there be an apology to move on?”

Knots: “What about Selena and Mr. D? Mr. D fired Xander Valentine earlier…”

Sharper: “I don’t know….I just don’t know.”

Mr. D drops down and starts to head to the back too. Selena stirs as the crowd looks on. She slowly turns to Mr. D and looks at him and grimaces before falling to the ropes. Officials stop her from doing too much more.

“Live In the Moment” by Portugal, The Man starts to play. The crowd roars as we see the RTGXV logo and then we see Giovanni Aries and Kennedy Street appear on the screen.

Sharper: “After this war, there’s one thing left to go here tonight at Rise to Greatness. The World Championship is on the line. Giovanni Aries will challenge Kennedy Street. Both have had very unique paths to get here.”

The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

We open up with a slow motion shot of Kennedy Street walking out from the back, holding the SCW World Championship.

Kennedy: “I know after this match, and sorry Donovan, but I’m going to say, when I retain my title, this was just the calm before the storm heading into Rise to Greatness. So I’m going to enjoy it and cherish this. Because after…I’m out to make more statements.”

We then see Kennedy Street hitting the Pedicure on Donovan Kayl before cutting to showing Kennedy Street covering him.

Jessica: “Giovanni…what are you doing?”

Giovanni: “Checking for a tail.”

Kennedy: “Trust me, honey. There is no way this Sexy, Flawless body would ever have a tail.”

Giovanni: “Not on visible to the naked eye…but never fear, you do not have one.”

We then see him sniffing.

Giovanni: “But unfortunately, you have been tainted by the Lizard King. His fingerprints are all over you. An innocent…caught in the crossfire.”

He shakes his head.

Giovanni: “Beware Jules, he is not going to be as forthright as I am. He will not hesitate to make you an example.”

Kennedy: “Well Giovanni, I’m not giving this title up and I’m not afraid of you or Jules. I plan to walk into Rise to Greatness as World Champion and walk out as it too.”

The crowd cheers. Some boo. Giovanni shakes his head. Jessica then turns the microphone to him.

Aries: “Tell the Lizard King….I have beaten his Judas, I have taken his flame….and I will take the World Championship!”

Kennedy: “I have nothing to do with the Lizard King, you weirdo!”

My home
Is a girl with eyes like wishing wells
I'm not alone
But I'm still lone, lonely
When I was young
Always go below the midnight sun
Those days are done
But I'm still glowing

We then see Kennedy Street in the ring, with Giovanni Aries across from her. Kennedy Street, extends her arm.

Kennedy: “Then fine…since you keep watching me, I have nothing to hide in this. My father believed a handshake showed everything. Showed what people couldn’t see.”

Giovanni just looks at Kennedy and then her hand.

Giovanni: “You think I would fall for that trick!”

We then see Giovanni take her down and hammers away on the arm. Giovanni rolls back, seething before looking at the World Championship, kicking it towards Kennedy. He rolls out of the ring as Kennedy looks on stunned, holding her arm. We then see Ace Marshall walking out to face Kennedy Street, with a man in a lizard suit out. Giovanni Aries glares before we see Ace Marshall running off and then seeing Kennedy Street nailing Giovanni Aries with the Touch of Class.

Sharper: “Oh! Touch of Class! I don’t know if Giovanni said something or Kennedy just had it.”

Knots: “Doesn’t matter. Maybe it’ll give him a hint!”

Kennedy grabs her World Championship and looks at Giovanni, shaking her head and holding the title over her head.

Ooh la la la la la
Let's live in the moment
Come back Sunday morning
A lie, oh well
When you're gone
Goodbye, so long, farewell

We see shots of Giovanni Aries sitting cross-legged on the stage. Kennedy Street posing follows before we cut to a shot Giovanni Aries in the ring and Kennedy Street throws the official for his recent match to the floor. The two then step up and look at one another, just eying each other.

Sharper: “They may fight tonight. Giovanni Aries and Kennedy Street! The main event of Rise to Greatness. World Title on the line!’

Knots: “Giovanni’s smiling! And Kennedy’s not backing down!”

Sharper: “What is going to happen this Sunday at Rise to Greatness XV?!”

The shot remains on the two of them, eye locked at one another before the Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen.

The bell sounds. The cameras pan across the arena before settling in the ring on ring announce Jason Phillips.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and is your main event of the evening for the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd roars. We start to hear some psychedelic rock music as we then see the stage flip between shades of green and yellow and red before we see a shot of a white rabbit walking out on the stage. He looks around before we see flames shoot out from each end of the stage and a couple of individuals, wearing a larger version of what appears to be caterpillar walk out and dance on the stage. This is followed by a shot of the white rabbit dancing, before we cut to see Sam walking out, dressed as Alice, from Alice in Wonderland and looks around. She then stops as the music abruptly stops as smoke starts to billow out onto the stage. A few moments continue to pass before “Mad Hatter” by Melanie Martinez starts to play. The crowd cheers as we see Giovanni Aries walk out from the back, dressed as the Mad Hatter. He looks around before taking a drag of his cigarette and turning and blowing the smoke into the face of Alice who turns back and continues to dance, before turning and taking another drag and doing the same to the Caterpillar and backing up and doing the same to the White Rabbit. Giovanni then takes another drag before smiling as the smoke comes from his mouth. He then starts to walk down to the ring with Sam following from behind. He closes his eyes and extends his arms as he just walks down to the ring. The camera follows him down.

Sharper: “A unique entrance for a man who may not all be there, but certainly is capable of becoming the World Champion tonight.”

Knots: “He won the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal to be here. He’s a former Adrenaline Champion…and for some reason, he’s obsessed with a damn Lizard King!”

Sharper: “He wants to win the World Title to draw him out. Whoever that is. But we’ll find out here if he can succeed in at least winning the World Title!”

Knots: “Not if Kennie lets it happen!”

Giovanni Aries continues on his way to the ring, making his way to the rampway before stopping at the ringside area. He then pulls himself onto the apron and Sam walks up the steel steps. She opens the ropes and Aries steps in and spins around. He then drops down and sits cross-legged in the middle of the ring. He looks around, taking another drag of his cigarette before rolling over and getting up. He takes off his entrance attire and starts to walk around the ring as the crowd cheers. His music then starts to fade out. The crowd cheers some more as the cameras cut to the entrance way. “Criticize” by Adelita’s Way starts to play. The crowd cheers as a few moments pass. The cameras focus on the crowd for a few moments longer before we see Kennedy Street walking out from the back, on the back of a white horse, her robe all around her. She just sits proudly on the horse as she looks around the arena.

Knots: “A symbol of flawlessness riding in on a white horse!”

Sharper: “Kennedy Street coming to the ring, as a champion! A very different champion as before, but one as a fighting one. And ready for the challenge Giovanni Aries will give her.”

Kennedy Street looks around, seated proudly. The SCW World Championship is around her waist and she starts to walk down to the ring on the horse, calmly guiding it down the rampway. The cameras follow her as she walks it down the rampway. Kennedy continues to look in the ring, continues to proudly riding the horse down to the ring. She reaches the ringside area and stops herself before turning and handing the lead off to a ring crew member and stepping down.

She then climbs up to the turnbuckle, taking off her title as sparks start to fall from above the ring to the mat. Kennedy holds the title over her head as the crowd cheers. She continues to look around before stepping over the top rope and down to the ring. She turns and looks at Giovanni Aries who now is on the floor. Kennedy backs off and hands the title to the referee. Kennedy backs up to her corner, taking off her entrance attire and then placing it on the outside.

Sharper: “The psychedelic entrance of Giovanni Aries, countered by the pomp and circumstance of Kennedy Street.”

Knots: “Two very different people.”

Sharper: “The Wonderland against the Sexy, Flawless Champion. Jason…all yours.”

Giovanni enters back in and Jason Phillips steps forward.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the competitors in tonight’s main event. First, the challenger…”

The crowd roars.
