We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

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

MAIN SHOW:

The scene opens up, in black and white, to show a shot of the inside of the Scottrade Center, the ring set up, along with the entrance way, but no fans.

“Tonight…fate will deal inside the squared circle…”

We then see a shot of CHBK standing tall at the end of the first Taking Hold of the Flame in 2004, before cutting to show James Exeter looking around in joy, before showing Ravyn Taylor peering over to Kelcey Wallace who sits at ringside.

“For the fifteenth time, one match means so much…”

We then see a shot of Adam Riddick having his arm raised before showing Exeter jumping to the top rope and then getting knocked out of the ring by Damian Angel. We then cut to see Ace Marshall shoving Selena Frost to the floor.

“In a year where so many have had that taste of the top of the mountain, the ultimate success…”

Kelcey Wallace holding the SCW World Championship is shown before we see shots of Ace Marshall, Selena Frost, Alistaire Allocco, and Jake Starr.

“Some showed their willingness to do anything necessary…”

We see shots of Ravyn Taylor nailing Jake Starr with a steel chair and CHBK superkicking Tommy Valentine before showing Syren holding the SCW World Championship while standing with Ravyn Taylor and CHBK.

“Others fought for their own reputation and their name…”

We see Kennedy Street standing in the ring, looking up at the stage, seething.

“Whereas others looked to finally break through to the top.”

Bree Mason and Sienna Swann posing in the ring are shown before we see Kennedy Street kicking Bree Mason on the apron with the touch of class. We see Sienna Swann walking to the back, Laura Steinbeck following her, smiling as Selena Frost looking on from the ring.

“Some simply changed the terms.”

We then see Regan Street holding the SCW US Championship while talking into the camera.

“And others lay in wait for the opportunity to strike…”

We see Giovanni Aries standing in the middle of the barbed wire cage, standing over Ace Marshall before cutting to show Ikiro Yoshida holding the TV and interim US Championships. This is followed with a shot of Amy Chastaine standing in the ring, before cutting to a shot of Xander Valentine powerbombing Alistaire Allocco.

We then see shots of Bill Barnhart, Andrew Raynes and Dustin Adams, Marie Jones, Katelyn Buehler, Thirteen, Blake Mason, Katie Steward and Owen Cruze.

“But only one can survive…”

We then cut back to the empty area. The camera slowly pans across where the crowd would sit and then pans up to a banner hanging over the ring, showing the Rise to Greatness XV logo.

“With their goal intact…”

The camera stays on that shot for a few moments before fading to black.

“Whatever It Takes” by Imagine Dragons plays. We then see a shot of a brazier, unlit, before we see it suddenly come to life, a flame starting to burn in the middle before the camera pans out and shows the Taking Hold of the Flame logo.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents…Taking Hold of the Flame!”

The logo remains on the screen before we see a flame come up on the screen and we open up with a live shot of the Scottrade Center, now filled with people, in St. Louis, Missouri. The camera pans around before we see pyro shoot from in front of the set before we see flames shoot up after. This is followed by shots from two braziers making up the stage, shooting flames up into the air. The spotlights come up and start to circle the arena. The crowd cheers as the cameras pan the crowd.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone, for the fifteen time, to Taking Hold of the Flame! A night where we will find out who could be the World Champion and who could be facing the World Champion at Rise to Greatness this July!”

The cameras continue to pan around for a few moments before cutting to ringside to see Adam Sharper seated at the announce table with Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and tonight, forty men and women will compete to determine who will get a guaranteed World Championship opportunity at the biggest stage in wrestling in Toronto at Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “And a lot of people want it, but another part of that equation, a match that’s personal, because of how close they are, Donovan Kayl will challenge Kennie tonight. World Title on the line.”

Sharper: “Of course, that’s one of three title matches. Of course, we’ll also see another match that’s quite personal, but because of how much they hate each other. Bree Mason and Amy Chastaine. They’ll clash for the first time tonight!”

Knots: “Can’t wait for that. Looks like class won’t enough to help her. Amy’s looking to take her head off!”

Jason Helms vs. Ikiro Yoshida

Interim SCW United States Championship

The lights in the arena cut and the darkness remains for a moment before the intro of “Hated” by Beartooth starts to play over the PA system, the lyrics appearing on the big screen in time with the music.

“WHO KNEW YOU’D BE HATED FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE…
AND BE A BIG TARGET FOR ALL THE FOR ALL THE INSECURE…”

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. He throws his head back as Aniya Helms walks into the light and steps up in front of Jason, leaning her back into his stomach as she brings her arms up around his neck. Jason lowers his head again and Aniya steps forward for Jason to remove his jacket and he tosses it onto the floor, pausing only to slap his wife’s ass, before he sprints to the ring.

Phillips: “The opening contest tonight is scheduled for onefall, has a twenty minute time limit and is for the interim SCW United States Championship. First the challenger, accompanied by his wife Aniya, fighting out of New Orleans, Louisiana, he is Jason Helms!”

Helms hits the ring and slides under the ropes, popping straight back up to his feet and scaling the turnbuckles to throw his arms out again as his wife makes her way to ringside with Jason’s jacket trailing from one hand. The fans cheer as Jason points at some of them from his position on the ropes before he turns and drops down into the corner, talking to Aniya as he sits and waits for the start of the match.

Knots: “Even changing where he’s from. Guess him and Amy are close!”

Sharper: “Jason Helms will be interested in that clash between Bree and Amy later, but for now, he’s got his eyes on the interim US Championship and the twist here is that winner will face Regan Street to unify the titles.”

Knots: “And Regan said she wants to talk some sense into him, but does she have the same issues of facing Jason, should he win? We know she has no problem knocking Ikiro Yoshida around!”

Red and white lights begin to flash wildly when the opening to “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett begins to play over the P.A System. The SCW fans rise to their feet casting their eyes to the stage where the curtains part. A sudden pause befalls the arena until a man walks out with a confident swagger in his step, Ikiro Yoshida. He wears his trademark red eye patch with a gold dragon emblazoned onto it along with his long sleeved jacket and the interim US Championship around his waist. A smirk appears on the Japanese superstar’s lips before he spins around once and drops down to one knee, both his arms outstretched while he looks down at the ground…

Phillips: “His opponent, hailing from the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, he is the reigning and defending interim SCW United States Champion, Ikiro Yoshida!”

The fans pop for the Japanese superstar, he leaps back up onto his feet, walking down towards the ring with that same confident swagger from before. Ikiro quickly runs to the ring and slides in, following that up with a quicker roll to a knee. Once removing his jacket, he hands it to the ring crew. He looks at the interim SCW US Championship and then hands it off to the official and begins to stretch before the bell. The referee holds the title over his head as the interim SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. The referee hands the title off.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida needs to reset from this past Wednesday on Breakdown. He had all the momentum in the world, but the TV Championship and its rigors may have slowed him down a step.”

Knots: “Sophie O’Brian won the title from him on Wednesday and we’ve talked about how it’s an endurance title. Ikiro held it for a while. Great on him, but he may have lost it at the worst time and he needs to get himself back up to this high level to deal with Jason!”

Sharper: “He shocked everyone at Unflawed, winning that battle royal and then beating AJ Helms. He beat Selena Frost to win the TV Title before that. He can do the seemingly impossible.”

The bell sounds as Ikiro and Jason start to circle the ring. They lunge and lock up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. They push back on one another and Ikiro steps in and wrenches the arm. Jason winces. Ikiro then jerks on the arm. Jason winces. He then pushes up and Ikiro jerks on the arm again. He then turns and moves into a hammerlock. He pulls up on it and Jason winces and looks around. He then elbows Ikiro in the jaw. Jason turns and immediately takes him over with a headlock takedown.

Ikiro kicks out. Both get up and Jason kicks him in the ribs. He then clubs him in the back. He then whips Ikiro into the corner. Jason runs after and Ikiro gets a back elbow up. Jason staggers back and Ikiro runs out and grabs him and spins through into a hip throw takeover.

Sharper: “Ikiro using his grappling skills to his advantage.”

Knots: “Jason tried to turn into a fight. Don’t know if you want to brawl with him either.”

Jason then rolls over and stirs and Ikiro knees him in the ribs. He whips him into the ropes. Jason bounces off and Ikiro scoops him up for a back drop, but Jason lands behind him. He then shoves Ikiro into the ropes. Ikiro bounces off and Jason hits a back elbow. Ikiro staggers back to the ropes. Jason follows in and kicks him in the ribs. He then pulls him in and goes for a vertical suplex. Ikiro blocks it though and nails him in the ribs with a shot before then stepping forward and hitting a vertical suplex. He goes for the pin.

Jason kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up. Ikiro walks over and kicks him in the ribs. He then whips him across the ring. Jason bounces off and Ikiro hits a boot to the face and the crowd ohs. Ikiro walks around the ring. Jason rolls over. He starts to get up, but Ikiro grabs his leg and pulls him away from the ropes.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida with a boot. Jason discombobulated from it.”

Knots: “And Ikiro right on him. Looks like he’s got the memo that he needs to rebound nicely.”

Sharper: “Not just that, but not giving Jason an opportunity to really get his feet under him either.”

Ikiro then kicks at the thigh. Jason winces. He then spins around the leg, but Jason shoves him off with his free leg. Ikiro runs into the ropes, bounces off and Jason rolls up before rolling him over with a small package.

Ikiro kicks out. Both get up and Jason drills him with a clothesline. He then walks around the ring and Ikiro starts to get up. Jason walks over to him and Ikiro lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop. The crowd ohs and Ikiro then grabs him and pulls him into a reverse STO. He rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Face first into the mat. That offense just shrugged off by Ikiro! The cover!”

Jason kicks out. Ikiro rolls off and starts to get up and Jason turns and grabs at the ropes. He slowly pulls himself up and moves into the corner. Aniya looks on as Ikiro moves over to Jason and nails him with a forearm and then another before whipping him across the ring. Jason hits the corner and Ikiro runs after and goes for a running dropkick, but Jason moves out of the way. Ikiro goes up and hits the top ropes and flips down to the mat. He gets up and Jason kicks him in the ribs and hits a snap suplex. Ikiro turns and holds his back. He starts to get up and Helms grabs his head and pulls him down with a neckbreaker. He then goes for the pin.

Ikiro kicks out. Jason rolls off. He then starts to get up before just shrugging and stomping Ikiro in the face. Ikiro rolls over, yelling out a bit as he moves to the ropes.

Sharper: “Jason going to his roots. A stomp to the face.”

Knots: “Sometimes you want to do a flip. Sometimes a stomp to the face works best.”

Sharper: “From the streets of New Jersey. That’s how you fight.”

Ikiro starts to get up and Helms grabs him and goes to whip him across the ring before planting his feet and pulling Ikiro back in and hoisting him up and dropping him across the top rope with a hot shot. The crowd ohs. Jason goes for the pin.

Ikiro kicks out. Jason grabs him and pulls him up. He then nails him with a hard right and then another. Ikiro falls into the ropes. He goes to whip him across. Ikiro spins through and sends Jason in and Jason bounces off the ropes and Ikiro hits a knee into the ribs. Jason flips over. Ikiro then steps forward and pulls back, locking in a triangle choke. He yells out as the crowd cheers. Jason reaches around and Ikiro keeps pulling back. Helms kicks his feet around, trying to get to the ropes.

Sharper: “Quick thinking, the opportunity there and locking in the triangle!”

Knots: “Helms just needs to the ropes…if he doesn’t fade. If he does, he may be missing the match later too!”

Ikiro keeps pulling as the referee checks on Jason and Jason frantically starts to move to the ropes by his feet. He gets a bit closer and then again before breaking the plane of the ropes. The referee calls for the break.

Ikiro lets go and rolls back before Jason rolls over. He slowly gets up and Ikiro runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running knee to the side of the head. Jason spins off and down to the mat. Ikiro dives onto him for the pin.

Jason gets his shoulder up. Ikiro looks up. He then grabs him and pulls him up. He then hooks him up and hoists him up onto the top turnbuckle. Ikiro walks around before turning back and going to nail Jason with a hard right, but Jason blocks it and nails him with a hard right and then another. Ikiro staggers back and Jason dives off and hits an inside diving clothesline, landing in a seated position before nailing Ikiro with a couple of hard rights hands. Jason rolls off.

Sharper: “Unique clothesline. Moving right into a side mount!”

Knots: “And getting a few more shots in. A few shots that could make all of the difference!”

Ikiro rolls away and gets up and Jason gets up and Ikiro lunges and goes for a clothesline. Jason ducks. Both stop and turns and Jason knees Ikiro in the ribs, elbows him in the back of the head before stepping back and hitting a dropkick to the side of Ikiro’s head. Ikiro rolls to his back.

He bounces off and hits a third facewash kick and Jason rolls out of the corner.

Knots: “Jason may be out now. Returning the favour from the discus punch!”

Ikiro drags him away from the ropes and hooks the leg.

Jason gets his shoulder up. Ikiro looks up. He then starts to get up and grabs Jason and pulls him up. He then scoops him up and slams him down. He then moves back to the corner. Jason however starts to get up. The crowd roars and Ikiro runs out and goes for a running knee lift, but Jason spin out of it and Ikiro misses. He stops and turns to Jason who nails him with the ReAwakening. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Caught him! ReAwakening!”

Knots: “Ikiro dropped and now Jason Helms has a chance to figure out how to get something going again.”

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida looks like a confident champion, so this past Wednesday doesn’t seem to have affected him and that has to mess with Jason.”

Jason Helms slowly starts to pull himself up. Ikiro rolls to the ropes. He then drags himself up and shakes the cobwebs loose before turning to Helms who nails him with a spinning heel kick. The crowd cheers. Helms goes for the pin.

Helms goes for the pin.

The crowd roars and some cheer, while some others boo.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, and new interim SCW United States Champion, Jason Helms!”

Sharper: “Helms wins it! The Back from the Dead and Ikiro had no way to block it!”

Knots: “Two titles lost in just five days!”

Sharper: “A hard break for Ikiro Yoshida. But Jason Helms now the interim US Champion and Regan Street…she wants to unify the US Titles, it will be against Jason!”

Jason Helms turns and gets up as the referee is handed the title and turns and hands the interim US Championship to Jason. Aniya enters the ring and hugs him as Jason smiles as holds the title over his head. They celebrate in the ring as the cheers start to take over.

Sharper: “Jason Helms starting off the night well for him. We’ll see if he’ll be celebrating with Amy Chastaine later.”

Knots: “I’m curious what Regan is thinking. But Jason Helms is the interim US Champion and Bree Mason has to love it too! Ha!”

Sharper: “A hell of a fight by Ikiro Yoshida. He looked great, but Helms and that one move, he knows how to hit it right when he needs to and it paid off tonight.”

Helms continues to celebrate as Ikiro moves into the corner. He winces in the corner as Jason Helms turns and exits the ring. He turns and helps Aniya down. The two start to walk around the ring and head to the entrance way. They head to the back as the crowd cheers them a bit and we cut backstage.

We open up backstage to see Selena Frost arriving into the building. She looks down, clearly distracted by something as she heads into the building. The crowd cheers seeing her. Jessica Winters heads over to her.

Jessica: “Selena. Sorry to bother you. You’re here tonight after taking some time away-“

Selena: “I’m not going to discuss that. I’m here to focus on what I came here to do.”

Jessica: “You’re going to cash in your Trios Tournament contract?”

Selena: “I’m going to watch Kennedy Street and Donovan Kayl tear down the house. I’m going to watch Amy Chastaine give Bree Mason an attitude change. And I’m going to watch the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal very closely.”

Selena continues to walk off as the camera focuses on her as she walks down the main walkway backstage and we cut away.

We open up backstage to see Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter in their locker room.

Ace: “Are you going to tell him or me?”

Cassidy: “Aw…are you worried you’re going to hurt his precious feelings?”

Ace: “Whatever-“

The door opens and Alistaire Allocco comes into the room. Ace and Cassidy look at him. Alistaire stops and looks around.

Alistaire: “What? What did I do?”

Ace: “Oh nothing…yet. Look…we just wanted to let you know…”

Cassidy: “Just tell him.”

Alistaire: “You’re not dumping me. I think I still have plenty to learn!”

Cassidy: “Well-“

Ace stops Cassidy. Cassidy rolls her eyes.

Ace: “We’re giving you our earliest entry.”

Alistaire: “Oh…okay. It will be a fine opportunity to show my astounding wrestling ability.”

Cassidy: “Yeah…sure. That’s it.”

Ace: “Great that you’re on board. Now remember, don’t screw up or Cassidy is going to take her knock off Louboutins and use them as your toothbrush and trust me…they’ve been weird places.”

Alistaire: “Wait…what?”

Cassidy: “The World Title is serious business. Remember this. And baby needs shoes. Remember? We’ve been going on about it for a while.”

Alistaire: “Well yeah…but the knocks off-“

Cassidy: “All because you lost the title. Now…let’s get ready!”

Alistaire gulps.

Alistaire: “Indubitably!”

He heads off as Ace shakes his head and we cut away.

We open up to see the tumbler spinning around as David Helms turns the crank. A few moments pass as the camera pans out to show Aaron Blackbourne and Owen Cruze in the room.

David: “Gentlemen, your first draws in the Taking Hold of the Flame. Hopefully one of many in the future.”

Aaron: “May I?”

Owen: “Go nuts, man.”

Aaron reaches in and pulls out his pod and opens it up. Owen then follows and grabs his. Aaron then opens up the piece of paper. He nods.

Aaron: “Not bad…not bad. You?”

Owen takes his and opens it up. He then looks at it and takes a deep breath.

Owen: “Looks like tonight’s going to make me or break me.”

David: “Good luck.”

Owen continues to look a bit concerned as we cut away.

Marie Jones (Two wins) vs. Katelyn Buehler (One win)

Best of Five Series

Match Four

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, has a thirty minute time limit and is match four in the Best of Five series! First, on her way to the ring, holding two wins in the series, from Boston, Massachusetts, she is The Phoenix, Marie Jones!”

As for Marie herself, she stops to slap a few high fives with fans, recognizing them as they cheer her. Then her focus is solely on the ring and the determined stride with which she walks tells that story. Marie hops up onto the ring apron. She strikes a sultry and sexy pose for the audience. Marie turns and leaps over the top rope and into the ring. She then hops up onto the second turnbuckle of the nearby corner and holds her arms up high into the air, getting a reaction from the crowd.

Sharper: “Marie Jones will win the series if she wins tonight. It would be a huge boost to her. Both looking to build momentum for consideration in the World Title ranks.”

Knots: “She’s got two wins. She’s looked good. All of the pressure is on Katelyn tonight. But both are in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal too!”

The camera switches to the big screen, where images of Katelyn Buehler are shown. The opening riffs of “My House” by PVRIS plays as Katelyn comes out onto the stage, wearing a black leather jacket.

Phillips: “Her opponent, with one win in the series, from Los Angeles, California, she is Katelyn Buehler!”

As the song continues, Katelyn starts walking down the ramp, huge smile across her face. She runs a hand through her raven-black hair before slapping a few hands of the jam-packed crowd. Katelyn slides under the bottom rope, into the ring. She gets up to her knees, moving a few strands of hair from her face as she smiles out at the crowd. Katelyn leans back, still on her knees and lets out the most primal of screams a young lady like her can, giving the crowd more to cheer for. Katelyn jumps to her feet and ascends the turnbuckle, where she leans forward and screams "THIS IS MY HOUSE." The crowd roars as Katelyn looks around.

Sharper: “Katelyn is putting on a brave face. Her back is against the wall. This is a must-win in a lot of ways. A lot of pride now in play for both.”

Knots: “Both have always been seen as having the potential. This series is about showing some of it. Both have shown glimmers, but Marie quiets more of the doubters if she wins. Katelyn…she needs to dig deep and take this to a fifth match.”

Katelyn looks at Marie as the two nod and the bell sounds. The two circle the ring and watch one another before suddenly Katelyn lunges at Marie and takes her down with a leg takedown. She then flips forward into a jackknife pin!

Marie kicks out. Both women get up and Katelyn goes for a clothesline, but Marie ducks and steps forward. Katelyn turns and Marie kicks her in the ribs. She then sets up for the Ave Maria, but Katelyn shoves her into the corner. She backs up and Marie shrugs a bit.

Sharper: “Marie looking to end it fast!”

Knots: “Why not? Both are in the battle royal. Less taken out of you. Maybe she knows her number!”

Sharper: “We’ve seen some getting their numbers. That may be it. It could also just be that she was hoping to avoid Katelyn building momentum in the mat. She’s always been a great competitor the longer the match goes!”

Knots: “Yeah, but in the first thirty seconds?”

Sharper: “Why not?”

Marie then walks out as Katelyn watches her. The crowd looks on and Marie then lunges for Katelyn, but Katelyn moves into a knee to the ribs. She then Marie with a hard forearm. Marie falls back. Katelyn whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Katelyn hits a back elbow. Marie hits the mat. Katelyn goes for a pin.

Sharper: “Katelyn not hesitating. Doing anything to get Marie down.”

Knots: “We’ve seen both adjust each match. Katelyn definitely adjusting!”

Katelyn pushes her into the corner and knees her. She whips her across and runs after. Marie jumps up and goes to floatover, but Katelyn steps back and catches her on her shoulder. She then steps out but Marie looks up and spins around Katelyn and into a DDT. The crowd ohs. Marie goes for the pin.

Marie goes for the irish whip, but Katelyn spins through. Marie bounces off and Marie jumps up and hits a flying forearm. She then goes for another pin.

Katelyn pushes her off again.

Sharper: “I’m stunned with the amount of pins. It’s a great tactic to wear your opponent down, but I have to think this is because both are in the battle royal later.”

Knots: “You may be right. They both want that shot at the World Title at Rise to Greatness and the sooner this match is done, the sooner they can prepare for that!”

Katelyn rolls over and Marie grabs her and pulls her up. She nails her with a forearm shot. Katelyn falls to the ropes. Marie then kicks her in the ribs. She then drags her out and then hits another snap suplex. She turns and pulls her towards the corner and then looks at the turnbuckle. She then jumps up and goes for a split-legged moonsault, but Katelyn pops up and pushes her, causing her to hook her legs on the turnbuckle and end up in the tree of woe. Marie reaches around and Katelyn then stomps her in the ribs and then again and again. The crowd roars a bit, while some boo. Katelyn backs up out of the corner and walks around the ring. Marie keeps reaching around and Katelyn turns and runs at her and jumps up and hits a hesitation dropkickto the face of Marie. Marie drops and gets free, falling to the mat.

Sharper: “Katelyn with a huge opportunity! Tree of woe and the dropkick! The impact!”

Knots: “That could be enough!”

Katelyn then drags Marie out of the corner and then pulls her up and hits a back suplex for good measure. The crowd cheers and Katelyn turns and hooks the leg.

Marie pushes her off and Katelyn rolls off and smacks the canvas. She starts to get up and Marie rolls over slowly. She pulls herself up, but Katelyn grabs from behind and hits another back suplex. She bridges up this time.

Marie rolls out of it. She starts to get up and Katelyn grabs her and wrenches her arm. She then whips her into the corner. Marie however runs up the corner and Katelyn starts to run after her, but stops, only for Marie to hit a corkscrew moonsault onto her, taking her down. She rolls away.

Sharper: “Corkscrew moonsault out of the corner, but Marie not able to go for the pin!”

Knots: “They’re both trying to just end it that they’re leaving themselves open. Marie can afford to. Katelyn can’t!”

Marie starts to get up as Katelyn stirs. Marie runs over and hits a swinging neckbreaker. She goes for the pin after.

Katelyn gets her shoulder up. Katelyn rolls over. She kicks at the mat as Marie then gets up and grabs her. She starts to pull her up and nails her in the forearm with a shot to the back.

Katelyn fights it and blocks it before nailing Marie in the head while holding onto it with a headlock. Marie staggers back. She turns around and walks into Katelyn who hooks her up and hits the uranage. She hooks the leg.

Marie shoots her shoulder up.

Sharper: “Just throwing anything at each other. Now the Uranage, but that’s not enough.”

Knots: “They may be expending more energy than otherwise!”

Katelyn shoots her shoulder up. Marie looks up and then looks around before mounting Katelyn and nailing her with a forearm and then another and another. She stands up and walks around the ring as Katelyn rolls over, holding her jaw.

Sharper: “Marie just slowing it down, hammering away. Maybe some frustration.”

Knots: “I don’t know, but that’s the first time in this one we’ve see some shot just laid in there. There’s respect, but wanting to win may be taking over.”

Katelyn starts to get up and Marie walks over and kicks her in the ribs. She then pulls her up and lifts her up and hits a ribbreaker. She dumps Katelyn down before positioning her in front of the corner. Marie looks over and then nods before climbing up the turnbuckle. The crowd roars as she climbs to the top rope. She glances back and then dives back for a top rope moonsault. She hits it. The crowd ohs. She hooks the leg.

Katelyn shoots her shoulder up again. The crowd roars. Marie rolls off and looks around. She then calls for the end and grabs Katelyn and pulls her up. Katelyn falls to a knee and Marie pulls her up and goes for the Ave Maria, but Katelyn forearms her in the back and then again before she steps out a bit and throw her back with the Ace’s Wild. The crowd ohs. She hooks the legs.

Marie shoots her shoulder up. Katelyn rolls off. She then crawls to the ropes.

Sharper: “Another nearfall, but not enough!”

Knots: “Digging out and using that bag of tricks that even Ace Marshall uses. Not sure about that.”

Marie slowly stirs and Katelyn then runs at her and hits the Hot Spot. The crowd ohs. She stacks her up.

Marie kicks out and Katelyn holds onto her legs. Marie tries to get free and Marie gets one leg free and kicks Katelyn in the face and then again. Katelyn falls back to the ropes. Marie rolls over and gets up and runs at Katelyn, but Katelyn lifts her up and back drops her up, but Marie lands on the apron. Katelyn turns and Marie nails her with a hard right and then another. Katelyn staggers back. Marie then looks at her and springboards to the top rope and dives forward, but Katelyn leans back with a Matrix dodge. Marie lands on her feet. The crowd roars. She turns and Marie turns back to her and Katelyn drills her with a Chick Kick. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “Got all of that kick! I heard Katelyn just got an offer to punt for the Rams…which is odd as they’re not here anymore! Ha!”

Sharper: “Katelyn made sure she got all of that. Just needs to cover Marie and this goes to a fifth and final match!

Katelyn drops down and crawls over and hooks the leg.

Marie shoots her shoulder up in time. Katelyn rolls to her back and looks up and looks around. She slowly stirs as Marie rolls in the opposite direction. Katelyn grabs at the ropes and pulls herself up. She then waits for Marie to get up and sets up her elbow as the crowd roars. Marie however remains down and drops back down to a knee. Katelyn walks over and grabs her and Marie elbows her in the jaw and jumps to the middle rope and backflips back into an Asai DDT. The crowd ohs and cheers. Marie hooks the leg.

Katelyn shoots her shoulder up and the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “No quit in her! Marie with a hell of a move to draw Katelyn in, but Katelyn, to her credit, able to kick out!”

Knots: “That’s how badly both want this win! Marie wants to end the series! Katelyn wants it to keep going! They both want to get to the battle royal!”

Sharper: “But what will be left?”

Marie slowly gets up as Katelyn remains down. Marie glances over to her and then walks over and grabs at her. Katelyn nails her in the ribs with a shot and then another in desperation. She turns to run off and bounces off and Marie drops down and hits a dropkick to the knees. Katelyn hits the mat and starts to get up and Marie grabs her and hooks her up and hits the Ave Maria. The crowd ohs and Marie rolls Katelyn over and hooks the leg.

The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and winner of the best of five series, Marie Jones!”

Sharper: “Marie Jones hits the Ave Maria and wins the series. She takes it.”

Knots: “Katelyn tried, but Marie Jones just too much at the end and she takes it. Now the question is what’s next.”

Sharper: “She’s hoping the next level. Both have to recover for the battle royal, but Marie Jones can at least take solace she won this Best of Five Series.”

Marie gets up and has her arm raised. She then looks around and celebrates as the crowd cheers her. She goes to the corner and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and looks around. Katelyn stirs as Marie continues to celebrate in the ring as we cut away.

We go backstage where Hana Ito is standing by, the Taking Hold of the Flame logo behind her.

Hana: “In just a few minutes we'll see one of the more highly anticipated matches of the evening, where Amy Chastaine faces her sister-in-law Bree Mason in a No Disqualification bout. Very heated. Highly personal. With me at this time is one half of that match... Bree Mason.”

Boos are heard as the shot pans out and we see Bree Mason, with both Blake Mason and Scott Burnside slightly behind her. She's in her gear, white robe over it, ready to go. She grins.

Bree: “Hi, Hana. And just to comment, if this is 'highly personal,' it's because Amy made it that way when she couldn't accept my decision to marry Blake.”

Hana: “Perhaps, but you can't argue that you made it more so, with forcing her to acknowledge her relationship with Jason Helms.”

Bree: “Unrelated. Doing that was a public service, I couldn't allow her to continue to fool everyone.”

Hana: “Interesting to note, right now both Blake and your personal assistant Scott Burnside are standing with you, but in a few moments... you'll only have Scott.”

Bree looks at the guys behind her, grinning at them both before turning back to Hana.

Bree: “And that's fine. Look, Blake had his issues with Amy, they settled it, he's done with her. He doesn't need to be there, this is MY fight, about MY family. I trust Scott, and after this is over, after I do whatever it takes to get Amy off my back? Both Blake and I will walk into the battle royal and one of us is leaving with that main event slot for Rise to Greatness.”

Blake eyes Bree oddly.

Blake: “Whatever it takes?”

Bree: “Yes, Babe. Only what needs to be done.”

Blake nods, a little uneasy, but Bree doesn't see that look as she turns back to Hana.

Bree: “Are we done here? I have a match to go win.”

Hana: “Yes Bree, thank you for your time. I'm told we have Jessica Winters standing by with Amy, Jessica?

We cut to another area of backstage where Jessica Winters is standing outside a locker room door, with Amy Chastaine and her husband Wyatt Lancaster. Amy is in her gear ready to go.

Jessica: “Thank you, Hana. Amy, we just heard from Bree, and something she said almost sounded like a veiled threat. She'll do 'what needs to be done' to beat you. What are your thoughts on that?”

Amy: “That's not a threat. It's the words of a confident fighter. I'll do what needs to be done, too. This match needs to be done. Anything that happens in that ring? Needs to be done. And no matter how confident Bree is or tries to make herself sound, I promise you I'm just as much. I asked for this, remember?”

Jessica: “You did, although Bree has suggested that she wanted it all along and you played into her plan.”

Amy: “Maybe she did. Or maybe she's saying that to save face after I had enough and called her out. I guess we'll never know.”

Jessica: “Likely not. Changing track a bit, I'm told that you were able to get Wyatt here special clearance to be in your corner tonight at ringside.”

Amy glances at Wyatt a second and he nods.

Amy: “I did. We feel Bree needs to understand that it's HER actions that brought us here, and her brother, my husband, in my corner is a great reminder of that.”

Wyatt: “She needs to see that while she made her choice, I made mine.”

Jessica nods, and just then the locker room door behind them opens, and Jason Helms steps out. He's wearing a new t-shirt, with the word “#Timeshare” across the front. Jessica hides a smirk. Amy turns at the sound, and gives him a grin.

Jason: “Your match is next, right? We ready to go?”

Amy: “It is, but... I actually think you should stay back here.”

Jason: “Oh... are you sure? I mean do you trust Mason to stay out of it?”

Amy: “No. But you have enough to be concerned about with your family. We'll take care of mine.”

Jason: “Alright.”

Wyatt: “Don't worry, she's in good hands.”

Jason: “The best.”

The guys give each other a nod and a fist bump. Amy grins, and turns back to Jessica.

Amy: “We should probably get going, unless you had anything else?”

Jessica: “Nothing else. Thanks for your time, and good luck.”

Amy: “Thank you.”

Amy and Wyatt walk off, and Jason waits a seconds before then going back into the locker room.

We cut to Sharper and Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “Both Bree Mason and Amy Chastaine sounding confident. That match begins in moments.”

Knots: “I hope Amy superkicks Bree's head into the luxury box!”

Sharper: “Why don't you tell us how you really feel, Jon?”

Knots: “That bitch broke my phone! I mean... the new one is better, but that's not the point! Everything shes done to Amy, said about her, talked down to Kennie! She has to face the music.”

Sharper: “I'm sure there are plenty of people here tonight who share that sentiment. This all began slowly, moths ago, when Amy started to have issues with things Blake Mason was doing, and the way Bree stood behind him. There was a split up. At Learning from History, Blake attacked Amy and concussed her following the match where she and Kennedy lost the Tag Team Championships. At the next Breakdown, Bree and Blake came out to the ring not only together, but married. That seemed to be the last straw for Amy.”

Knots: “With good reason, it meant that Bree knew about his plan to attack her. As Wyatt Lancaster said... Bree made her choice. Forced him to make his, standing beside his wife against his own sister.”

Sharper: “And it all comes to a rolling boil right now.”

Amy Chastaine vs. Bree Mason

No Disqualification

We cut to the ring where Jason Phillips makes the announcement.

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is a No Disqualification bout! Introducing first....

Blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. A step behind her is Wyatt Lancaster. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, her usual grin replaced by a focused gaze. They start down the entranceway, nodding at a few fans along the way.

Phillips: "Making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, LA and being accompanied by her husband Wyatt Lancaster.... she is the Brave half of B.A.E., Amy Chastaine!"

Amy gets in the ring by hopping up on the apron, and stepping between the second and third ropes. Wyatt goes up the ring steps and watches from the apron as Amy goes to the second rope on the opposite corner, and poses for the fans, one arm in the air, the other on her hip, looking out at the cheering crowd. She then hops down and goes to the corner where Wyatt is standing, and they talk a bit as her music fades out.

Sharper: “Amy looks laser focused on the task ahead of her tonight. Both she and Bree Mason pulling double duty. After this... the battle royal awaits them both.”

Knots: “Bree won't be able to enter the battle royal if Amy kicks her head off like Kennedy did!”

Sharper: “We'll find out soon.”

The horns of "I'm Worth It" by Fifth Harmony begin as the lights dim somewhat, and a few white spotlights dance near the entrance in time to the music. Bree Mason appears, her white silk robe clinging to her hips. Scott Burnside appears behind her, and they start towards the ring.

{Give it to me, I'm worth it
Baby, I'm worth it}

Bree then struts down the entranceway as the chorus continues, her free hand on the silver silk belt holding her robe shut. Two crossing spotlights follow her progress.

Phillips: "And her opponent, currently residing in New Orleans, she is being accompanied by her personal assistant Scott Burnside... the Classy One, Bree Mason!"

The music continues as Bree gets to the ring. She stops at the steps to pose a second as Scott goes up ahead of her. Bree follows up the steps as Scott then holds the ropes open for Bree to step through. She then does a little circle in the ring, showing off a bit, before stopping in the middle of the ring. Bree tugs on the silver belt, and the robe falls open revealing her pure white and silver trimmed outfit. She then pulls the robe off, swishing it around and tossing it at Scott as he stands near the corner on the apron. Bree then raises her arms overhead in a flourish, then walks another small circle, a smug smirk on her face. Scott goes down the steps to the floor as Bree's music fades and the lights return to normal.

Bree turns around and finds Amy glaring at her from her corner. She glares back. Wyatt shakes his head at his sister and hops down from the apron to the floor.

Sharper: “Look at the stare across the ring between these two. Both are skilled technical wrestlers, Bree having learned a good bit of that from Amy. But I have a feeling once this gets started, it'll break down quickly.”

Knots: “Amy is no stranger to getting brutal if she needs to. You'll have to excuse me for not being my usual impartial self for this, Adam.”

Sharper: “When have you ever been impartial?!”

The bell rings, and both women step out of their corner towards the middle The crowd noise increases as they stare each other down. They trade some comments the camera doesn't pick up, before Bree shoves Amy backwards with both hands. She takes some steps back as the crowd boos. Amy lunges forward with her arm up ready to throw a punch, but Bree jumps back. She smirks, but Amy then jumps with a spinning heel kick. Bree goes to down to a knee, looking up with her hand on her chin. Amy smirks back. Bree leaps up and rushes at Amy, looking for a clothesline. Amy grabs her arm and takes her down with an arm drag. Both pop back up. Amy grabs Bree's arm and pulls her in, spinning her around so hold her from behind. She tries to lift for a suplex but Bree blocks in. Amy instead transitions the hold into a hammerlock. Bree struggles a bit then fights out, ducking under and around. Amy doesn't let go, she pulls Bree back in, holding her from behind again and applies a standing rear naked choke.

Sharper: “So far Amy is outwrestling Bree at every turn.”

Knots: “Of course she is, she's the veteran, Supreme Champion, while Bree has yet to be able to win the World Championship.”

Bree gets her hands around Amy's arm and pulls, trying to break the hold. When that doesn't work, she leans over, trying to loosen it that way. Amy is taller though so it doesn't do much good. Bree twists at the waist, to no avail. She then suddenly reaches up and grabs Amy's head before throwing herself forward, managing to flip Amy up and over down to the mat, breaking the hold. Bree backs up, rubbing her neck a little. Amy gets up and turns to Bree, and Bree catches her with a running knee to the ribs. We briefly see Wyatt with his hands on the apron, watching intently. Bree grabs Amy's arm and whips her into the ropes. On the return Bree goes for a clothesline. Amy ducks, and hits the other side. Bree spins, and Amy catches her with a DDT. She makes a cover.

1!

Bree shoves Amy off. Amy gets up and Bree rolls away and gets up. They stare each other down again, and the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Amy with the first pin attempt, but Bree easily kicking out.”

Knots: “Amy knew that wasn't going to keep Bree down, she was making a point – I can get you down, and you're gonna be fighting to get back up all night.”

Sharper: “And look at the glares being exchanged here, if looks were murder weapons we'd be looking at double homicide right now.”

The women lock up in the center of the ring. They struggle for leverage for a few seconds, Bree throws a knee up into Amy's side, and gains the advantage. She spins Amy around and applies an abdominal stretch, pulling on the side she just kneed in the ribs. Amy grimaces with the pull. Bree nails an elbow into the ribs, before pulling back harder. Amy yells. Bree hits another elbow. Amy pulls herself forward as much as she can, and drills her elbow into the thigh of Bree's planted leg. Bree yells and lets go, stepping back and rubbing her thigh. Amy holds her side as she turns to face Bree and throws a low kick to the thigh. Amy pulls her foot back and spins, catching Bree's thigh with a low roundhouse kick. Bree goes down to a knee and looks up at Amy surprised.

Sharper: “Whoa! Where'd that striking come from? Amy's never done that before!”

Knots: “Hell if I know! And Bree is just as surprised as we are.”

Sharper: “She has that Lightning Strike superkick and the occasional heel kick, but those are new.”

Knots: “Just showing her versatility and ability to constantly keep learning.”

Amy goes for an enzuigiri, but Bree scouts it and ducks. Amy spins out, but keeps her balance. Bree gets up, shaking her leg off a bit, then bounces off the ropes. Amy ducks a spinning elbow, and catches Bree from behind. She then lifts her up and over with a release German suplex. She turns and goes for a cover, but Bree puts her foot up, catching Amy in the chest. Amy stumbles backwards. Bree scoots back and gets to her feet. Amy is still leaning over slightly holding her chest from the kick and Bree grabs her head, planting her with DDT. She then kicks Amy hard in the ribs. Amy rolls over to her back from the momentum of the impact. We see Wyatt glaring up at his sister, who then goes for a cover.

1!

2!

Amy kicks out. Bree gets to her feet, and grabs Amy's leg, pulling her closer to the middle of the ring. She then drops an elbow into Amy's ribs. Amy curls up sideways, cradling her side.

Sharper: “Smart moves by Bree here, weakening Amy's midsection to set up the spear, that Classifier.”

Knots: “And Bree has all the control here, after Amy started this off hot.”

Bree walks around a bit as Amy stirs. Amy pulls herself up by the ropes. Bree waits til she's nearly vertical, then runs, clotheslining Amy over the top rope and down to the floor. The crowd boos as Amy hits the mats hard, awkwardly on her hip. Wyatt rounds the corner to check on her. Bree yells at him to move, but doesn't wait to see movement before running and diving through the ropes. Wyatt does move, but he pulls Amy with him, causing Bree to miss the dive and crash hard to the mat herself. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Wow! Bree Mason with an uncharacteristic high risk move there, and paid the price!”

Knots: “Wyatt Lancaster saving his wife from the impact there. Bree looks like she landed on her shoulder odd.”

Bree stirs, holding her shoulder as she sits up. Amy starts to get to her feet, using the apron as well as Wyatt for leverage. We then see Scott Burnside come around from his corner to check on Bree. Amy gets to her feet, looks over at Bree, and glares. She gently pushes Wyatt away from her, and runs at Bree. Both Scott and Bree see her coming. Bree shoves Scott out of the way and braces herself to catch what looks like Amy's tackle attempt, except instead Amy hops up onto the barricade then leaps with a crossbody. Bree wasn't expecting a hit from the air and Amy drops her with all of it. The crowd oohs as their momentum sends them both crashing into the ring steps. The official slides out of the ring to check on them both. Wyatt and Scott both try to approach, keeping distance from each other, but the official holds them off.

Sharper: “What a crash landing! Amy Chastaine doing what she can to throw the unexpected at Bree, but she may have hurt herself as well as Bree with that maneuver.”

Knots: “And remember folks, this is a no disqualification match. No count outs! Everything is legal.”

Amy stirs first, and crawls off of Bree where she landed. The official speaks to her first, and she nods as she gets some distance away on all fours, favoring her knee. The official turns to Bree, who sits up. She also nods, and he backs away. The camera goes back to Amy, who now has Wyatt helping her up. Once to her feet, Amy turns to face Bree, who is now up, leaning on the apron. Bree nods at Scott who backs away. She then pushes off the apron and towards Amy. Amy meets her halfway and they both throw punches. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “These two now going at it like a common street brawl! Started off technical and it's broken down to this, after Bree forced the fight to the outside.”

Knots: “The ring steps are in piece, and I'm not sure how these women aren't too after that crash into them.”

Bree covers up, blocking Amy's flurry, and finds an opening to grab Amy by the hair. She spins Amy around and whips her back into the steps. Amy flips over them and lands on the other side, draped over the top step that had come off the thicker bottom portion. The crowd boos. Bree hurries over. Amy rolls over and starts to get up,but Bree boots her in the lower back and she goes back down, awkwardly laying across the step with her chest on the floor and her legs on the step. Bree smirks, and grabs Amy's left leg, then slams Amy's knee down into the step. Amy rolls over and grabs her leg.

Sharper: “Kneebreaker into the steel step! That's Amy's previously injured knee, Bree knows that! That's despicable!”

Knots: “Hate to admit this but it's also smart. If you know your opponent has a weakness... target it. That's something that Bree Mason has shown she is good at and has no hesitation in doing.”

Amy used the barricade to pull herself up, and fiddles with her knee through her tights, pulling on and adjusting the brace she wears under her tights. She then looks up and Bree dives with a spear, but Amy moves at the last second and Bree crashes through the barricade. The crowd oohs and some cheer. Amy shakes her leg out a bit, and goes over to Bree, pulling her out of the pile of padding and up to her feet. She pulls Bree over to the ring and up on the apron, pushing her back inside. Amy then slides in herself. Bree rolls over, holding her shoulder.

Knots: “Bree is favoring that shoulder again. She landed on it awkwardly after that dive and now she broke the barricade with it.”

Sharper: “Amy is showing signs of battle too, she's favoring that left leg, thanks to that kneebreaker on the step.”

Amy gets to her feet first, and glances over at Wyatt. He seems concerned, but she gives him a nod before turning back to Bree. Bree was up and waiting and immediately runs at Amy, taking her down with a Thesz press. She starts throwing punches. Amy blocks a few, and starts throwing fists back. Bree grabs Amy's hair and tries to slam her head into the mat, but Amy gets her arms between Bree's and breaks her hold, then flips her over. She mounts her and nails a hard right, then a left, then gets up a bit and drops an elbow to Bree's chest, before dropping back down and locking in the Tourniquet! The crowd roars. Bree struggles and yells, as the hold puts pressure on her already abused shoulder. Scott slaps the apron in an effort to encourage Bree to hold on. Amy pulls back harder, and Bree looks around, looking for the ropes. She reaches out with a foot and barely touches the bottom rope. The official waves it off though.

Sharper: “Bree Mason touching the rope with her foot, but there's no rope breaks! This is no disqualification, the stipulation she asked for and it may cost her here!”

Knots: “There's nothing she can do but tap!”

Bree screams in frustration and probably pain. Amy pushes back with her feet and spins Bree away from the ropes a little, creating enough distance that Bree can't touch it anymore, then pulls back on the hold harder, arching her back.

Knots: “Smart move, Amy! Get her out of the ropes so that tap counts!”

Sharper: “And here comes Burnside, what is he doing?!”

Scott slides halfway into the ring, grabs Bree's foot, and pulls hard, sliding out using his body weight to help pull. Wyatt runs over to stop him but he's too late, Amy loses her grip and Bree slides out of the ring. She leans on the apron holding her shoulder. Wyatt goes up to Scott and pushes him backwards. Scott holds his hands up.

Scott: “What? There's no rules!”

Wyatt glares and steps forward, but Bree gets inbetween. Wyatt stops, and backs away. Scott retreats to his corner and Bree glares at her brother.

Knots: “Wyatt wants no part of fighting his sister physically, I have to say I admire the man's restraiht, I'd have slapped the taste out of her mouth!”

Sharper: “Looked like he was gonna take a shot at Scott Burnside for getting involved. But as Scott said... n rules. His assistance was not illegal.”

Amy is up and watches as brother and sister back away from each other, and Bree then slides back into the ring. She gets to her feet and Amy immediately grabs her arm and whips her into the corner. Amy runs in, a knee strike into Bree's ribs. Bree hunches over, and Amy grabs the ropes for leverage as she launches another knee. Bree slumps down further. Amy takes a step back and goes for a running knee... but Bree drops to the mat, and Amy knees the ringpost! The crowd oohs and Amy falls, grabbing her knee.

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine going to the well one too many times there and that hard knee meant for Bree's ribs meets steel!”

Knots: “That's the same knee that Bree slammed into the steps earlier, that Amy has been favoring ever since. The previously injured one. She wears a brace on that leg under her tights, we saw her adjusting it earlier.”

Bree watches with a smirk as Amy fidgets with the brace through her tights again, wincing in pain. The official comes over and Amy waves him off, pulling herself up with the ropes. He backs away, and Amy turns to face Bree, the wince of pain now replaced by a furious scowl. Amy starts to run at her, but can't, as her knee seems to buckle slightly. She stumbles, but keeps her balance. Bree takes note though and bounces off the ropes for momentum then nails Amy with a spinning backfist. Amy stumbles again, going down to a knee, the good one on the mat, and one hand holding her head.

Sharper: “Bree calls that spinning fist the Trademark, and it looks like it left a mark.”

Knots: “Amt tried to get some offense in there and it looked like her knee gave out when she planted her foot, she may actually be injured. That bad leg took two high impact strikes so far.”

Bree grabs Amy by the head and pulls her to her feet. She walks her to the middle of the ring, Amy limping a little. Bree then spins Amy around, then up and over with a suplex. Bree spins before Amy can start to get up, and starts stomping on Amy's leg and knee. Amy yells and manages to roll away after a few strikes connect. The crowd boos and Bree just walks around smug as Amy reaches down and adjusts the brace again. Amy gets to her feet slow, and Bree turns around towards her. Amy goes to run at her again, this time able to compensate for the pain she expects, which surprises Bree. Amy grabs Bree's arm and slings her across the ring. Amy turns around slow, still with a limp, and as Bree rebounds Amy leaps with a dropkick, knocking Bree back flat. The crowd roars. Amy crawls over and makes a cover.

1!

2!

Bree kicks out. Amy rolls off.

Sharper: “Bit of a desperation move for Amy there, it's hard to mount any offense practically on one leg.”

Knots: “You gotta hand it to her though, she isn't backing down at all! And Bree is just frustrated.”

Both get up slow. Bree scowls and Amy glares. Bree goes for the BOGO, but Amy blocks the second punch, grabbing Bree's arm and taking her down with a hip toss. Bree gets back, and Amy gets her leg up for a straight kick. Bree grabs her leg though, the left one, and takes Amy down with a dragon screw. The crowd oohs, and Amy grabs at her knee again. Wyatt yells something unintelligible from the apron. Bree just glares at him and refocuses on Amy. She goes over and grabs Amy's leg, dragging her to the middle of the ring. Amy kicks at her hands with her free foot, bringing her heel down on Bree's wrist. Bree is forced to let go, and she rubs her wrist where Amy kicked her. Amy gets up slow, and Bree grabs her as soon as she's vertical, slinging Amy into the corner. Bree then runs in and nails her with a body splash. Amy leans into the corner. Bree then aims a kick at Amy's leg, but Amy spins away. Bree kicks the turnbuckle instead, and her leg goes through the ropes. Amy grabs Bree from behind and suplexes her out of the corner. Bree hits the mat and flips over from the momentum. She grabs at her shoulder again, stirring slowly. Amy watches, then looks at the corner. Wyatt starts shaking his head.

Sharper: “Oh no.... you don't think she's gonna try for a BlackOut?”

Knots: “Her husband seems to think she is, and if she does she's either the embodiment of her 'be brave' slogan, or insane!”

Sharper: “Maybe both.”

Despite Wyatt's protests, Amy carefully climbs the corner and perches herself on the top, balancing mostly on her right leg. Wyatt watches with one hand on his forehead, and Scott screams at Bree to turn around. As soon as Bree turns to look, Amy leaps and plants Bree with the BlackOut! Bree drops and Amy sits up and grabs at her knee, as her foot hit the mat when she dropped and tweaked it.

Sharper: “She did it! She hit it! But it looks like she banged that knee again, now she has to make a cover!”

Knots: “Come on Amy!”

Amy takes a deep breath and turns around, crawls carefully to Bree and drops for a cover.

1!

2!

Bree JUST gets her shoulder up before the three. The crowd oohs, then boos. Amy rolls off and pounds the mat one time with her fist. She starts to get up, pushing herself up practically on one leg. Wyatt is up on the apron now, looking very concerned. Amy gets up and over to the ropes, leaning on them to steady herself. Bree finally stirs and Scott slaps the apron from his side yelling at her to get up. Wyatt say something to Amy, and she shakes her head no. The shot switches to a closer camera and we hear her answer.

Amy: “I'm fine... I can do this!”

Wyatt just shakes his head and Amy turns back towards the ring. Bree is to her knees, then she's up. Amy limps forward, and Bree just explodes out of nowhere with the Classifier! The crowd oohs and Wyatt cringes.

Sharper: “Classifier! No idea where Bree got the energy to do that but she just about drilled Amy out of her boots!”

Knots: “Amy's gotta be done... wait, what is Bree doing?”

Instead of going for a cover, Bree grabs Amy's leg and drags her to the middle of the ring, then starts to set up a figure four. Wyatt leans over the ropes yelling.

Sharper: “No! No! She's looking for the Crescent Lock!”

Knots: “Fight her off Amy!”

Amy kicks with her good leg but Bree just catches it and spins, getting the hold on. But instead of dropping to her back for the bridge, she instead kneels, and uses her hand to push down on Amy's left knee. Amy screams out.

Knots: “Modified Crescent Lock there, can't say I've ever seen that before! Bree is putting all of her weight onto that knee, that bent, probably injured left knee of Amy Chastaine!”

Sharper: “This is disgusting, Bree isn't trying to win now, she's trying to maim!”

Amy writhes back and forth, trying to get Bree to let go, but all of Bree's weight is on Amy's legs, and she presses down with her hand on the knee some more, all of her upper body weight bearing down. Amy screams again. Wyatt finally steps through and yells at the official.

Wyatt: “Stop this, she's going to snap her knee!”

Official: “I can't, not unless she submits!”

Amy is too busy yelling in agony to think about tapping to make it stop. Wyatt has enough of seeing this and goes over and pulls Bree off himself. Amy rolls to her side clutching at her knee. Bree spins around and pushes her brother backwards.

Bree: “What are you doing?!”

Wyatt: “That's enough! You-”

Just then Scott appears in the ring and pulls Wyatt away from Bree. He spins and glares at Scott, and Scott immediately takes a few skittish steps back.

Sharper: “This is about to get even uglier.”

Knots: “The official needs to get some kind of control here, no DQ or not! And Amy is still down, cradling her knee!”

Bree gets between Wyatt and Scott, and faces her brother.

Bree: “Leave him alone! Get out of here!”

The official comes over and pushes Scott towards the ropes. He slides out. The official then tries to tell Wyatt to exit too but he ignores him, instead going over to Amy to check on her. She's sitting up now, and her face is damp from tears of pain. But she nods defiantly. Wyatt sighs, and holds his hand out to help her up. Amy takes and starts to get to her feet, slow. The official comes over, one hand out behind him to keep Bree back. She rolls her eyes but stays back.

Official: “Can you continue?”

Amy: “I have to...”

Official: “Are you sure?”

Amy: “Yes!”

The official hesitates, but nods and backs away. Amy is standing, holding on to Wyatt's arm. She lets go, and takes a step... and her leg gives out. Wyatt catches her before she falls though. The official rushes back over and starts to say something, but Amy yells.

Amy: “No! I am fine!”

She shakes her leg out, pulls on the brace, and stands up straight again. She even bounces on her feet a little as if to show she is fine. The official backs away again and Wyatt starts to step back through the ropes. Bree approaches, and Amy takes a step, then another, then one more with the left leg... and falls again, to her hands and knees.

Knots: “Goddammit!”

Sharper: “This can't be good....”

All at the same time, Bree runs at Amy and lands a stomp on the back of her leg, the official calls for the bell while pulling Bree off, and Wyatt runs back into the ring. Amy sits back and grabs at her knee with one hand, punching the mat with her other fist. The official pushes Bree back into her corner, then leans over to Jason Phillips. He nods, and steps back with the mic.

Phillips: “The official has deemed Amy Chastaine unable to continue and stopped the match. Therefore.... your winner via referee stoppage... Bree Mason!”

Scott gets into the ring to raise Bree's arm and the crowd practically drowns out her music with boos. Wyatt is trying to help Amy up, and she's nearly vertical, but she can't put any weight on her left leg at all now. The crowd quiets down as he gently helps her back down to sit on the mat, and drops down, sliding out. Amy then carefully slides to the apron and under the ropes. The official is waving at the entrance calling for help. Wyatt then helps Amy slide off the apron and just picks her up and starts carrying her up the entranceway towards the back. A few medics run out and meet him halfway, but he just shakes his had at them and keeps walking. Amy has one arm around his shoulders and the other hand over her knee. The medics just walk along side the couple as they head towards the curtain.

Sharper: “Not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that, husband carrying his clearly injured wife to the back... that damage at the hands of his sister. You could hear a pin drop in this arena right now.”

Knots: “And look at Bree Mason, she doesn't give a damn! Kennedy didn't kick her hard enough!”

In the ring, Bree can be seen talking to Scott and rolling her eyes.

Sharper: “Unfortunately folks the show must go on. We will get you an update on Amy Chastaine's condition as soon as we possibly can. Meanwhile... we have lots more to come tonight. World Championship match... and of course the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal.”

Knots: “Amy Chastaine is entered, she signed up. That's questionable at best, more than likely not happening after what we've just seen.”

Bree is seen in the ring shaking her head again, then the shot cuts to the entrance where Wyatt is carrying Amy through the curtain.

We open backstage as we see Regan Street, Josh Hudson and Sienna Swann in the office of David Helms. Helms can be seen spinning the tumbler with all of the numbers in it.

Helms: “So you all ready?”

Sienna: “We all know what number I should have.”

Helms: “Sienna…”

Regan: “Just pick Sienna.”

Sienna then turns and looks into the tumbler and pulls a number out. She then steps back. Hudson goes in next.

Helms: “Josh…”

Sienna grabs hers and opens it and looks at the number inside, unfolding it. She then looks down as she turns to Josh who steps back and does the same.

Regan: “Better give me a good one, Dave.”

David: “What you pick is what you get.”

Regan smirks and reaches in and grabs one of the pods. She pulls out the paper inside and reads it as Josh smiles in the background looking at his. Regan does the same to hers before we see Ravyn Taylor walking into the office with CHBK.

David: “Whoa…I’m not done-“

Ravyn: “Oh why? Worried we’re going to have some problems.”

Regan crumples hers and brings it down.

Regan: “Why don’t I just get rid of some opponents now. Or maybe you…Alex…”

CHBK smirks as Ravyn steps forward and reaches in.

Ravyn: “I’m just here for this. Then I have to go back and be evil and scheme and what not.”

Ravyn backs up and looks at the number. CHBK stands in front of her. Ravyn smirks and steps forward.

Ravyn: “Looks like this is going to be an easy night for us.”

Sienna: “Please…”

Regan: “Well test that-“

Regan steps forward and goes for a hard right. David steps in, and CHBK blocks the punch and brings her arm down, causing her pod to drop to the floor. Ravyn bends over and grabs it.

David: “Regan!”

CHBK backs up. Ravyn then extends the pod back to her.

Ravyn: “So testy…”

David takes the pod and turns to them.

David: “Leave.”

Josh steps forward as Sienna keeps looking at her number. Helms hands Regan the number. Hudson closes the door behind CHBK and Ravyn.

David: “Try to stay out of trouble…”

Regan: “Yeah. Whatever.”

Josh turns and opens the door and Past, Present, Future leave the room.

Bree Mason and Scott Burnside walk backstage, Scott carrying Bree's entrance robe over one arm. She doesn't appear to be very concerned with what happened a few minutes ago, however Scott does.

Scott: “Breezy... I know you and Amy have your issues, but aren't you even going to go ask about-”

Bree: “Ask what? She's FINE, Scotty. She's had her knee aggravated before. The referee probably only stopped the match to protect Saint Amy. Doesn't matter, it gave me the win, that's why she looked so angry.”

Scott: “I don't know, she seemed to be in a lot of pain.”

Bree: “And she was probably putting on an act to make people think she won't be in the battle royal later, or that she'll be weaker than she is. I'm not falling for it. She can't fool me anymore.”

Scott: “You think so? She doesn't really seem the type to do that sort of thing.”

Bree stops in front of a locker room door with a nameplate reading “Mason.' She gives Scott a raised eyebrow look, her arms crossed.

Bree: “Which one of us knows her better? That's right, I do. She. Is. Fine. Now let's go celebrate my victory for five minutes with Blake before we have to get ready for the battle royal.”

Scott just nods, and Bree opens the door and goes in. Scott follows and hangs Bree's robe on a hook near her bag.

Bree: “Blake! Did you see? The referee made her stop, I wo- ..... Blake?”

Bree looks around, and sees just one bag next to the bench. She turns to Scott.

Bree: “Scotty, did you put Blake's bag somewhere else?”

Scott: “No, I had it right there next to yours.”

Bree: “Hmm. He must have moved it....”

Bree starts to look distressed. Scott just waves it off though.

Scott: “Oh you know how he is, he probably found another locker room to get ready for the battle royal alone. I mean, you're technically opponents.”

Bree: “Yeah.... we are.... you're probably right....”

Bree's expression doesn't seem like she's convinced though. She unzips her bag and pulls out a towel as we cut away.

Sophie James & David Callahan vs. Max Kane & Dawn Lohan

SCW World Tag Team Championship

“EVERYONE… EVENTUALLY… LET’S YOU DOWN…
EVERYOOOOONE…EVENTUALLYYYYY… LET’S YOU DOOOOWN”

The lights in the arena cut completely as the eerie choir-like lines from the SCW remix of “Negative Space” by A Day To Remember hits the speaker system. As the intro begins to play out, strobe lights flash on the stage in time with music. They cut completely again as just the bass guitar plays before the song kicks into full flow.

“THESE WALLS, THIS HOOOUSE”

Pyro’s explode on either end of the stage as the song kicks in fully and the lights flash back up to show Sophie James standing on the stage, where she throws back the hood of her hooded top and then throws her arms out wide and the crowd begin to cheer loudly as Sophie grins broadly. David Callahan stands with her and looks around, a bit of a scowl on his face. Sophie turns and smacks him in the arm and David turns to her.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship! First, the challengers, on their way to the ring, they are David Callahan and the Motor City Bitch, Sophie James!”

With another grin, Sophie suddenly bursts down the ramp, jumping up and sliding leg first under the bottom rope before leaping up and ascending the turnbuckles. Callahan runs after her and stops at the ring. Standing on the middle rope, Sophie once again throws her arms out on both sides, her music still thrashing out as the fans cheer again. Callahan rolls in and gets up and looks at her. Callahan starts to try and get the fans to stop cheering. Hopping down, Sophie does the same on the opposite side of the ring before dropping down again and removing her jacket, which she tosses to the outside before taking a seat in the corner, her arms draped across the bottom rope on either side of her as her music fades and she waits for the start of the match. Callahan walks over and joins her.

Sharper: “World Tag Team Championship on the line. We’ll try and get some word on the status of Amy Chastaine when we can, but….”

Knots: “Not what anyone was thinking was going to happen and Kennedy…Kayl…they’re good friends now with Amy and….”

Sharper: “A lot of people are going to be thinking about that. Unfortunately, and I don’t mean to sound heartless, but injuries are a part of what we do and we can only hope that Amy Chastaine will be fine.”

The opening riffs to "A New Level" by Pantera hit the PA system. The lights flash silver and black for a few seconds. Without warning, Max Kane runs out from the back, wearing both SCW Tag Team Championships around his neck. Max yells at the camera and crawls towards it. He bobs his head multiple times to the song before standing up. Shortly after, Dante McCaffery, Ms. Budde and Dawn Lohan push through the curtain. Max looks around and takes off one of his Tag Team title belts and hands it to Dawn. Max turns back around and starts heading down to the ring as the rest follow.

Phillips: “Their opponents, they are the reigning and defending SCW World Tag Team Champions, accompanied by Ms. Budde and Dante McCaffery, they are the Network, Dawn Lohan and Max Kane!”

Max throws his arms up as he polishes his Tag Team title belt. He looks towards the camera and smirks. Dante simply looks around. Budde also looks at the crowd while Dawn shows the other end of the Tag Team Championship to the camera. Max soon slides in, before sliding back his end of the Tag Team titles to Ms. Budde on the outside. Dante sneers at the crowd before he walks up the steel steps along with Dawn and Ms. Budde. They all enter the ring and Dawn then passes the Tag Team titles to Dante, who then holds it up high to boos in pure contempt. He sneers just as Ms. Budde also holds up her end of the Tag Team titles in the middle of the ring. Satisfied, they both hang the titles back to Max, who connects them together by the belt loops and drapes them around his neck; to which he then points to every section of the crowd before extending his arms; to a mixed reaction. He drops to his knees and motions for the camera to snap pictures as Dawn, Dante and Ms. Budde stand behind him.

Max: It doesn't get better than this! It doesn't get better than this!

Max then gets up and holds on to both Tag Team titles as Dante and Ms. Budde exist the ring. Max begins talking to Dawn as the music begins to fade.

Sharper: “Dawn firmly with the Network for now. There have been some differences of opinion for how to act and do things. Sophie James and David Callahan at one point helping Dawn and getting attacked by the Network for their troubles.”

Knots: “Well Dawnathon and Maximus can have their issues, but if they win, it doesn’t matter. Wins matter. The extra pay cheque!”

Sharper: “Dawnathon and Maximus?”

Knots: “Yeah? That’s their names under God. I checked.”

Sharper: “Really?”

Knots: “Okay, Kennie told me that was Dawn’s given name.”

Sharper: “In any case, this will be a unique match. The Network are a unique partnership, but Sophie James and David Callahan getting a huge chance here. Sophie James a former drug addict, and she’s been clean for months. Talk about a success story.”

Knots: “And add some gold to her record. That would be nice.”

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen as the referee raises the titles over his head. He hands it off to Jason Phillips and backs up. The bell sounds. Max Kane starts to match for the Network as we then see David Callahan start for the challengers. The two circle a bit before David lunges in and Max Kane nails him in the ribs with a hard right. He then nails him with a left forearm and grabs him and throws him into the ropes. The crowd boos as Kane nails him with a hard right and then a left to the ribs before cracking him with a hard right. David leans against the ropes. Kane then grabs him and turns and runs him across the ring and goes to throw him up and over, but Callahan spins through and lands on the apron.

Sharper: “Kane trying to do this his own way. That unorthodox offense. Willing to just brawl if need be and Callahan, one half of the challengers not having the start he’d like.”

Knots: “At least he’s not on the floor. Stopped him. That’s one thing we’re going to see a lot of later. People avoiding the floor, but here comes Max.”

Max then turns and nails him with a hard right. He then grabs the top rope and goes to vault himself over, but Callahan nails him with a hard forearm. Kane falls back. Callahan enters the ring and Kane turns around and goes for a hard right, but Callahan blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. He then turns and snapmares him over. He knees him in the side of the head before placing his knees on either side of Kane and pressing them together. He smirks as Kane fights a bit to get out and does, before Callahan just smacks him in the back of the head. The crowd cheers a bit as Callahan gets up as Kane turns around and swings, but Callahan ducks and then spins around. Kane turns and Callahan scoops him up and slams him down. He goes for the pin.

Kane kicks out and Callahan turns to a side headlock, slowly pulling Kane up to his feet.

Sharper: “Callahan tangling Kane up here. Controlling him with a headlock now.”

Knots: “Funny enough. That’s one thing punches can’t help that much with. You’re swinging wildly…nor will jumping off something tall!”

Sharper: “Kane is a risk-taker, but Callahan clearly keeping him under control early on. Turning around that rough opening moment for the matfch.”

Callahan gets Kane up to his feet and turns and tags in Sophie. The crowd cheers as Shopie enters and kicks Kane in the ribs. Callahan lets go and exits as Kane walks off. Sophie then nails him with a hard left of her own to the ribs and then a hard right before jumping up and hitting a dropkick. Kane hits the mat and Sophie goes for the pin.

Kane pushes her off. He rolls away, but Sophie turns and rolls to him. She starts to pull her up, but Kane suddenly hits a jawjacker and Sophie stumbles back. She steps forward and Kane just nails her with a clothesline. He turns backs and tags in Dawn. Dawn climbs up to the top rope. Sophie stirs as she gets up and Dawn dives off with a double axe handle smash. She then goes for the pin.

Sophie kicks out.

Sharper: “Double axe handle smash coming out of a bit of teamwork from these two.”

Knots: “Yeah and got a two, but lots’ more fight left in Sophie.’

Dawn grabs Sophie as she gets up and hooks her up and hits a vertical suplex. Sophie winces as Dawn runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running senton backsplash. She turns and hooks the leg again.

Sophie kicks out. She starts to get up and Dawn nails her with a forearm shot. She then wrenches the arm again and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Dawn lifts her up, but Sophie spins around. Dawn goes for a back elbow, but Sophie ducks and steps forward and hits a back kick. She then turns and hits a European uppercut before pulling her into a knee. She then hoists her up and hits a gutbuster. Dawn rolls over and Sophie rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Dawn gets her shoulder up. She turns and Sophie gets up and turns and David asks for the tag. Sophie turns and tags him in. David enters and Dawn starts to get up and Callahan quickly grabs her and spins her around and into a backslide pin.

Dawn kicks out.

Sharper: “Callahan hoping to be sneaky and catch Dawn off guard.”

Knots: “She was still sucking wind from that gutbuster, so not a bad move. I’m more stunned the Network didn’t budge.”

Sharper: “Maybe they are willing to meet Dawn half way.”

Dawn turns and gets up and Callahan clubs her in the back. He then whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Callahan scoops her up, but Dawn spins through and ends up on her feet. She then jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

Callahan kicks out. Both get up and Dawn kicks him in the ribs. She then runs into the ropes, bounces off and goes to grab Callahan, but Callahan attempts his tilt-a-whirl again, slamming her down, chest first into the mat. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Max just dives in with a frog splash like dive onto the back of Callahan’s head. The crowd ohs and David rolls over, holding his head and neck in pain. Kane rolls out of the ring, laughing. He turns to Sophie and Sophie kicks at him. He jukes back, only laughing more as he backs up.

Knots: “Jesus! From out of nowhere!”

Sharper: “Just diving off. No care for his own body. You don’t expect it for anyone else and he loves it!”

Dawn gets up as David stirs and kicks him in the ribs. She then grabs his head and runs him into the corner. Dawn kicks him in the ribs and again before backing up and then hitting a dropkick. The crowd ohs and David falls out of the corner. Dawn pulls him out and hits a DDT. She goes for the pin.

David gets his shoulder up. She turns and rolls over as Kane hops back up and tags him back in. Kane enters the ring and smirks as David stirs and nudges him in the back of the head with his boot. He does it again. He then grabs him and elbows him in the back of the head. He then hooks him up and hoists him up for a vertical suplex before placing him on the top rope and then just letting him go and Callahan goes into the mat. Kane rolls him over and hooks the leg.

Callahan kicks out. Kane then smirks before grabbing him and whipping him hard into the neutral corner. Kane then runs across and nails Callahan with a vicious running clothesline. Kane then just looks at him and shoves him out as Callahan drops to the mat. Dawn shakes her head. Kane then turns and pulls himself up to a seated position on the turnbuckle behind.

Sharper: “Kane getting into his groove and he’ll put everything behind each shot.”

Knots: “Just may have caved in Callahan’s chest. A bad thing for him given the amount of hot air coming out of him.”

Sharper: “Sophie holding onto the tag rope, but pacing a bit. She knows this could be bad.”

Callahan starts to get up and Kane dives off and grabs his head and hits a diving cutter. The crowd ohs. He then turns and goes for the pin.

Sophie breaks it up. The crowd cheers. Kane backs up and smirks as Sophie backs away. Kane sees Callahan stirring and pulls him away from the corner and turns and tags in Dawn. Dawn enters and the two say a few brief things to each other before Dawn runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Kane lifts her up with a launching flapjack, before letting her drop onto Callahan. The crowd ohs. Dawn goes for the pin. Kane steps forward.

Callahan gets his shoulder up. Dawn rolls off. Kane is told to exit the ring. He just waves off the referee as he exits. Dawn then grabs David and pulls him up and nails him with a forearm shot. She then turns and places him in the Network corner. Dawn kicks him in the ribs and then again. She then steps up to the middle rope and goes to nail him with a hard right, but David blocks it. She tries again, but David blocks it and shoves her back before hitting Kane with a back elbow. The crowd roars. David then steps out, and Kane pulls on his hair. Callahan spins around and Dawn then hits a dropkick, unaware of Kane’s involvement. Callahan falls back. Dawn rolls over into a pin.

Sharper: “Kane with the distraction as Callahan was about to get free!”

Knots: “Dropkick! They may retain!”

Callahan reaches and grabs at the bottom rope. The crowd roars. Dawn looks up. She then moves back and then turns and grabs at Callahan. She then pulls him up and clubs him in the back and then again. She then spins him around and into the ropes. She kicks him in the ribs. She turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and runs at Callahan and goes for a clothesline, but Callahan ducks and spins around her before hoisting her up, spinning her, causing her legs to hit Kane in the face before back suplexing her into her own corner. Callahan pushes her out of the way and rolls out. He starts to crawl across. The crowd cheers. Sophie has her arm out. Callahan gets closer and closer as Dawn then crawls out and gets up, but Callahan tags in Sophie. The crowd cheers. Sophie enters and jumps up and hits a dropkick. She rolls over and gets up as Kane stirs and Sophie dropkicks him off the apron and to the floor.

Sharper: “Sophie James in and she’s ready to go! Dropkicks for everyone!”

Knots: “She’s been over there for a while. She wanted to get in here now!”

Sophie turns and nails Dawn with a clothesline. Dawn rolls over and gets up and Sophie waits for she turns to her and nails her with the 4-Seb. Kane rolls into the ring and runs at Sophie and Sophie backs up to the ropes and Callahan then pulls down on the top rope and Kane goes up and over the top to the floor. The crowd roars. Dawn gets up and Sophie walks over and kicks her in the ribs before whipping her into the corner. Sophie runs after and hits a double knee into the corner. Dawn falls out of the corner and Sophie turns and rolls through and goes for the pin. David nails Kane on the floor with a clothesline off the apron. He then spins around and turns to the ring.

Dawn shoots her shoulder up. The crowd ohs and Sophie rolls off and looks around. She then turns as David grabs at the ropes and pulls himself up.

Sharper: “David had Kane down. The Network had to have been concerned-“

Knots: “But they didn’t move. Dante McCaffery is just watching over here with Ms. Budde. That was too close if you wanted to keep the titles in their midst.”

Sharper: “Maybe recognizing the partnership. But either way, Sophie James knows how closer she was.”

David looks on as Sophie then grabs Dawn and pulls her up and hits a snap suplex. She then goes for the corner and exits to the apron. She then starts to climb up to the top rope. Kane stirs on the floor when Dante then turns and hops onto the apron. He then stands in the corner of the Network. The referee tells him to get down. Budde then climbs up onto the apron on the next side of the ring. David enters the ring, but Sophie sees her and boots her in the face. Budde falls back before Sophie dives off with a swanton onto her. The crowd erupts in cheers. David then runs over and nails Dante with a hard right, knocking him off the apron. He then backs up and leans against the barricade. He starts to go into his pockets as Kane staggers around and sees Dante doing this. Dawn stirs and David then turns and moves around and exits to the apron. He turns and drops down to the floor.

Sharper: “Dante is going for something. Kane sees him…”

Knots: “Dawn is getting up though and Sophie is too!”

Sharper: “Pandemonium here!”

The referee drops down to stop David and tells him to get back. Kane walks over and nails David with a shot. The referee turns to Kane and Dante then nails David with a pair of brass knuckles.

Sharper: “A shot! Damn it! Dante with the cheap shot!”

Sophie rolls into the ring as Dante then backs up and walks around. Kane backs away as the referee turns and sees David down. He turns to Dante and Budde. Kane steps forward before he tells Dante to get out of here and points to Budde and does the same. The crowd roars. Dante just calmly goes over to help Budde as she stirs and Sophie turns to Dawn and Dawn rolls her up with a small package. The referee is making sure Budde and Dante are leaving. Kane points to the ring.

Sharper: “Dante and Budde have been tossed from ringside. But look! Dawn in the ring and the Network’s tactics are making sure there’s no count.”

Knots: “And Kane’s telling the referee!”

Kane points to the ring. The referee snaps at Kane before telling him that they got involved, they can deal with the results. The crowd nearby roars before we see Dante and Budde walking around the ring and heading up the rampway. As they do, we then see Har Megiddo walk out from the back. The crowd boos. Dawn lets go of Sophie and looks over at Kane as the referee moves into the ring. Dawn then turns and sees Dante and Budde before then turning and looking at Har Megiddo.

Sharper: “Har Megiddo now on their way.”

Knots: “Oh boy. And Dawn is trying to piece together everything that happened and saw them.”

Sophie turns and Kane slides into the ring. Sophie gets up and Max runs over and nails her with a running boot to the face. The crowd ohs and Dawn turns to him. Kane then turns as Dante and Budde stop. Har Megiddo slowly step forward as we then see officials running out from the back. They start to get between Har Megiddo and the Network members. The referee tells Kane to get out of the ring as he starts to try and regain control. Dawn glances over before turning back and seeing Sophie starting to get up. She then hits a shoot kick to the chest. The crowd ohs. She hits another shoot kick. She then hits a third. The crowd ohs with each shot.

Sharper: “The referee trying to maintain order as officials are hoping to keep Har Megiddo from getting involved.”

Knots: “Trying to get Network out of here too.”

Sharper: “And Dawn and Kane have control thanks to this all. Dawn trying to reset and with those shoot kicks to the chest of Sophie.”

We then see Dawn back up and kicks Sophie in the side of the head. She drops and Dawn turns as Kane asks for the tag. Dawn looks over and then turns and goes over to tag. Kane tags himself in and starts to climb up to the top rope as the crowd roars. David, who is still down by the Network corner, hops onto the apron and kicks Dawn off the apron before shoving Kane off. Kane dives forward and into the 4-Seb. Kane falls to his knees and Sophie turns and grabs him, hooks his arm and hits the MMM. The crowd roars. David dives off onto Dawn as Budde turns and heads to the ring as Sophie goes for the pin.

The crowd roars as Budde slides in the ring and smacks the mat. Kali then moves in and kicks Dante in the ribs, getting past before officials break them. In the ring, David rolls in and the referee is handed the World Tag Team Championship belts.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, and new SCW World Tag Team Champions, David Callahan and Sophie James!”

Sharper: “James and Callahan are holders of SCW gold. They forgot about David Callahan who was taken out by the Network corner!”

Knots: “Forgotten and a big mistake. Callahan saw his moment and made the tide turn. Right into Sophie. New champs!”

David hugs Sophie as she smiles. The referee hands them the titles. They hold them over their heads as David raises Sophie’s arm. Dawn looks over from the floor and shakes her head as Har Megiddo is told to leave by Damian Angel.

Sharper: “All in front of Har Megiddo. You know they’ve got to be having their eyes on that. The Truelove Twins too.”

Knots: “Tag division heating up and we have new champs!”

We cut back to the ring to show Sophie and David celebrating as Kane rolls to the floor. We then cut backstage.

We cut backstage as we see Regan Street storming into the office of David Helms.

Regan: “Dave! We’ve got a problem!”

David turns to her as he moves away from the tumbler.

David: “What happened?”

Regan: “This is not my number.”

David looks at the paper in her hand that she holds up.

David: “That’s the number you have?”

Regan: “It’s not the number I drew….when CHBK knocked it out of my hand…of course…son of a bitch. Get that bitch in here now. Ravyn has my number-“

David: “Regan…I can’t prove that.”

Regan: “Then bring her in here and I’ll just knock her head off.”

David: “Regan! I can’t do anything. That’s your number now. That’s as far as I know, the only number you’ve ever had. You never showed me the other and you need that paper to get into the battle royal.”

Regan just looks at it.

Regan: “Bullshit Dave. It’s bullshit.”

David: “And there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Regan: “Bullshit. We’ll just have to make the best of this like everything else in this damn company.”

Regan turns and storms off as David watches her leave and sighs.

Donovan Kayl vs. Kennedy Street

SCW World Championship

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

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

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall, with a sixty minute time limit, and is for the SCW World Championship! First, the challenger, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the Cornerstone of Professional Wrestling, Donovan Kayl!”

Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking out over the crowd, until the next lines hit. Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd, shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first couple of rows nearby. He hops over the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl cashing in his Trios Tournament contract to get this match. In part to block Syren from a rematch, in part to give himself an opportunity he’s not had, to main event Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “But it’s also the finishing school. He trained Kennedy. This is the ultimate test. Kennie, and I think she’s more than ready, she rises to the occasion, or Kayl is going to make sure she always remembers this night!”

"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout the arena as a robed Kennedy Street slowly comes out from the back. She stands in the entrance way with her back to the ring, looking down, then up and out into the arena. Kennedy then drops the robe, revealing the SCW World Championship around her waist. Kennedy raises her right arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down behind her. The crowd cheers looking over to the fans and interacts with a few.

Phillips: “His opponent, she is the reigning and defending SCW World Champion, from Beverly Hills, California, she is the Sexy, Flawless Diva, Kennedy Street!”

She continues to make her way down to the ring, arriving at the apron. She then crawls in and splits before flipping over and on her feet. Kennedy walks to the ropes and climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing as the crowd roars. Kennedy jumps down smiling to the crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner. The referee walks over and Kennedy hands him the SCW World Championship. She starts to stretch as she looks across at Donovan Kayl, who looks back at her ready for the match. Senior official, Aaron Demitra, holds the SCW World Championship over his head as the SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner. Demitra hands off the title to Phillips.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street focused and ready to go. She won the title at Unflawed in April against Syren. She knocked Bree Mason out of the ring, retaining the title at WTF Wednesday. Can she get past her mentor here tonight?”

Knots: “And focus with Amy being sent to the hospital.”

Sharper: “They both have to. Donovan will. Kennedy needs to know that. And they both need to know that Amy Chastaine would have wanted that too.”

The bell sounds. Kayl and Kennedy circle the ring as the crowd roars. They then continue to keep their eyes on one another before they lunge at one another and go for a collar and elbow tie-up. Kennedy immediately drops down and spins around Kayl and into a wiastlock. She then tries to pull him up, but Kayl lifts his arm up and around and spins before locking in a side headlock. He then hits a hip throw and Kennedy hits the mat and rolls over, moving to her knees and looking up at Kayl. Kayl then tells her to get up. Kennedy nods and slowly does. Kayl and Kennedy watch each other and they lock up. This time, they do, and Kennedy tries to turn, but Kayl turns and grabs the arm and wrenches it. Kennedy falls to a knee and then gets up. She reaches up and Kayl turns and wrenches the arm again.

Sharper: “Kayl is going to want to slowly wear down Kennedy. They both know each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”

Knots: “Probably trying to avoid those kicks. Trying to also get Kennedy frustrating. I love her, but I know that’s going to be something that gets to her. Kayl could get under her skin and she may try to do too much.”

Kayl then pushes back and puts Kennedy into the ropes. He then turns and whips her across. She bounces off and Kayl elbows her down. Kennedy hits the mat and rolls over and moves to the corner.

Sharper: “Kayl calm and collected and I can see what you mean Jon. He’s trying to just make her make a mistake.”

Knots: “He knows her better than most. You get a feel for it.”

Sharper: “And Kennedy right now, not having the start to this match she would like.”

Kennedy pulls herself up and then lunges at Kayl and the two grapple again. They push back on one another and Kayl turns into a side headlock. Kennedy reaches around. Kayl pulls back and Kennedy tries to drag him into the ropes and fire him off, but Kayl drops to his knees and slides down to the middle of the ring as Kennedy kicks at the mat. The referee checks and Kennedy reaches around. Kayl holds on and slowly gets his feet under him, dragging her up to her feet. He then promptly hits a headlock takedown.

Kennedy counters with a headscissors. Kayl nips out of it. Kennedy nips up too and Kayl dropkicks her down. He goes for the pin again.

Kennedy kicks out and rolls over to the ropes. Kayl gets up calmly as Kennedy looks out and can be seen trying to keep herself calm. Kayl grabs her and pulls her up before spinning her into the corner and kneeing her in the ribs.

Sharper: “Kayl goes to the ribs. Again, just smart wrestling so far by the veteran.”

Knots: “Kennedy needs to figure out a way to just stop this. Kayl is not giving her many openings if any.”

Sharper: “Rise to Greatness XV, in Kayl’s hometown of Toronto, SCW’s home, looms in the background. Winner likely will defend their title on that night.”

Kennedy rolls away briefly before starting to get up and Kayl jumps off and drills Kennedy with a double axe handle smash, knocking her down. Kayl walks around the ring. Kennedy stirs and starts to get up.

Sharper: “Kayl down across the head of Kennedy and Kayl is showing just what he can do.”

Knots: “Experience the difference and he’s almost smothering Kennedy.”

Sharper: “It’s simple, but effective. Just wearing Kennedy down.”

Knots: “But has to do more than one move!”

Kayl gets up and Kennedy hits a dropkick. Kayl hits the mat. Kennedy then gets up and hits a European uppercut and Kayl falls through the ropes and to the floor, landing on his feet.

Sharper: “Kayl caught Kennedy and throws her overhead. That ends that momentum!”

Knots: “Damn. Just had that kick scouted!”

Sharper: “That knowledge. That’s experience. That’s calmness. Kennedy may have gone too aggressive there and Kayl caught her.”

Kayl slowly gets up as Kennedy rolls over, holding her head and neck. She starts to get up and Kayl lifts her up onto his shoulders and then spins her out into a TKO. The crowd ohs and Kayl hooks the leg.

The crowd roars a bit and Kayl looks at her before hitting a top rope elbow drop to the chest of Kennedy.

Sharper: “Right to the heart of Kennedy. That elbow!”

Knots: “But tell me that didn’t kill the heart she has! Kick out!”

Kayl hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street, emphatically, marching out as the World Champion. The Pedicure getting it done and she defeats her mentor, Donovan Kayl tonight.”

Knots: “Someone had to win. Someone had to lose. Someone had to walk out World Champion and Kennedy Street is doing that and may very well be going to Taking Hold of the Flame!”

Sharper: “Using Kayl’s own move to set it up, to get the Pedicure…Almost as if saying, I’m ready for this and sorry, but I’m not going to let you stop me.”

Kennedy is handed the SCW World Championship. Kennedy holds the title over her head and backs up as the crowd cheers. She looks around and falls over to the ropes and leans on the ropes. Kayl slowly stirs and grabs at the ropes. Kennedy then looks at the World Championship before stepping back and turning as Kayl slowly uses the ropes to get up. He winces a bit as Kennedy walks over and Kayl turns to her and embraces her before raising her arm. He points to her before Kennedy holds up the World Title. Kayl then backs up and applauds briefly before rolling to the floor. Kayl slowly walks to the back, hands on his hips, as Kennedy Street returns to celebrating.

Sharper: “Donovan Kayl giving his props to the World Champion. A hard moment for him. He was hoping to headline Rise to Greatness, I’m sure. But you have to know he’s got to be proud of Kennedy Street and what she’s accomplished.”

Knots: “And tonight, she not only weathered the storm, getting through what Kayl threw at her, but by the end, she looked as strong as ever.”

Sharper: “Very different from Kennedy Street three years ago, let alone two.”

Kennedy Street remains in the ring, looking out at the crowd as she holds the World Title over her head.

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

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

Mr. D then smirks.

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

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

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

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

We then open up with a shot of the outside of the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The crowd cheers seeing their home arena as “Whatever It Takes” by Imagine Dragons plays in the background. We then see the Taking Hold of the Flame logo come up on the screen before seeing shots of all of the announced individuals for the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal.

Sharper: “We are here in the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Rise to Greatness in Toronto in two months. But we need to find out who will challenge for the World Title at that event.”

Knots: “Could very well be facing Kennedy Street. Selena Frost says she’ll use her Trios contract, so who could be joining them? Forty men and women.”

Sharper: “We know Syren is number forty, but beyond that, the talent in this match, it’s impressive.”

Knots: “But it just matters that we have one standing at the end. They get it all.”

Sharper: “Let’s cut to the ring where Jason Phillips is standing by for the fifteen annual Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal.”

We then cut to the middle of the ring where we see Jason Phillips standing by. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the fifteen annual Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal!”

The crowd cheers as Phillips waits a few moments.

Knots: “You just said that Sharper. I think he’s just following your lead. Give him the speech or he’ll be lost.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Phillips: “The rules are as follows: two individuals will start the match. Every two minutes another competitor will enter the match until all forty entrants have entered. Eliminations occur when someone goes over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. The last person remaining will be declared the winner and will receive a guaranteed SCW World Championship opportunity at Rise to Greatness XV in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!”

The crowd cheers as we cut to the shot of the Rise to Greatness banner in the rafters. We then cut back to the ring.

Phillips: “Now let’s find out who drew number one!”

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”

The voice is easily recognizable, and an ‘Icon’ chant starts to roll through the arena, as Steven Coopers “Born to Do” kicks in, Owen Cruze stepping nervously out onto the stage.

Phillips: “First, on his way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California, he is the number one entrant in the Taking Hold of the Flame, Owen Cruze!”

With a simple nod and a salute, Owen makes his way down the rampway towards the ring. Owen jumps up onto the apron and turns, leaning back against the ropes, his arms either side of him. Owen steps into the ring and makes his way to every side of the ring applauding the fans with a huge grin on his face before standing in the center of the ring, and looking up at the arena lights nodding his head. Owen then runs to the ropes and bounces off them, before heading to his corner and waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “Talk about a big, big ask for this young man. His first Taking Hold of the Flame and if he wants to win, he has to go the distance.”

Knots: “The kid looks suitably nervous.”

Sharper: “Not much to lose. Better to focus on what he can do from that position. He has a long night in front of him. And let’s be fair, a few have walked out the winner from that position. Adam Riddick and The Real Speed both made it to the end after the start.”

Knots: “But it may just as much be decided by who is number two.”

The opening of “Villain I'm Not" can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Knots: “What?”

The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The mixed reactions intensify as James looks out at the crowd.

Phillips: “And number two, from New York City, New York, he is James Evans!”

James slowly makes his way to the ring. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd. Owen Cruze looks at him. James takes a deep breath and looks at him before running into the ropes a bit to get warmed up.

Sharper: “A stunning start to the battle royal. James Evans, who has been on the security team for SCW to earn his way back into SCW and prove he’s not the man he once was. He’s getting his opportunity tonight to immediately put himself back where he once was.”

Knots: “I’m just stunned…he’s competing.”

Sharper: “The opportunity given to him. He signed up, but he’ll need to go the distance too and an interesting twist: James Evans, when he won this battle royal in 2016, he last eliminated Owen Cruze’s uncle, Shaun.”

Knots: “Well maybe Owen can get some revenge for that.”

The bell sounds and Owen and James start to circle the ring. They then lunge at one another and grapple in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another and James drops down and around Owen and hoists him up and spins him down in a Greco-roman takedown. He spins around and grabs at the head of Owen and pulls up on his head. Owen spins out and to his back and James lets go and rolls away. Both get up and Owen turns to James who hoists him up and carries him to the ropes. Owen grabs at the ropes as the crowd roars. Owen struggles, trying to keep himself in and kicks at James as James tries to hold onto him, but Owen slips out and lands on his feet and backs up to the corner. James follows after and Owen kicks him in the ribs. James winces and Owen kicks him again.

Sharper: “James trying to eliminate Owen first. He’s been in there before.”

Knots: “And it’s showing, but Owen wants to make this moment last more than just a few seconds.”

Owen then nails him with a hard forearm. He then turns and runs into the ropes. James turns and goes for a clothesline, but Owen ducks and bounces off the other side and then jumps up and hits a front dropkick, knocking James Evans hits the mat and rolls over. He starts to get up and Owen grabs him and elbows him in the back of the head. He then clubs him in the back. He lifts him up and turns and whips him across the ring. James bounces off the ropes and Owen jumps into the ropes behind him and dives back with a back elbow, knocking James down to the mat. He turns and holds his jaw as Owen then walks over and grabs him and starts to pull him up. He drags him to the ropes. He tries to lift James up, but James fights it off as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Now Owen trying to get James out!”

Knots: “They’re going to tire each other out early!”

Owen keeps trying to get him up and James struggles and elbows him in the head and then again. Owen staggers back. James turns and runs at him and Owen drops him with a drop toe hold. James hits the mat. Owen gets up and stomps him in the back of the head. James rolls over. Owen then turns and runs into the ropes and jumps to the middle rope and dives back and goes for a flying clothesline, but James ducks. Owen lands on his feet and steps forward. He turns around and James grabs him and hits an armtrap belly-to-belly suplex. James then rolls over as the countdown clock comes up on the screen.

The buzzer goes and “Look What You Made Me Do” by Halocene plays as the crowd cheers. Sam Raine runs out from the back.

Sharper: “Third entrant is Sam Raine. Heading down and looking to take advantage of both being down here.”

Knots: “Could be a night for her to remake her career. SCW’s not been kind to her, but tonight, she could erase all of that.”

Sam Raine runs down and slides into the ring. She gets up as Owen and James start to get up and Sam kicks Owen in the chest. Owen ends up on his feet from the impact and falls back to the corner. She turns and stops James in the head. She then stomps him again and James rolls over and grabs at the ropes. Sam kicks him in the ribs. She then turns back to Owen and walks over and chops Owen. The crowd woos. She then chops him again. More woos. She then kicks him in the ribs. She goes to whip him across, but Owen spins through and sends Sam across, but she turns and stops at the corner. Owen runs after and Sam gets a boot up. She then turns and hits a running dropkick onto Owen. Owen rolls over. Sam turns and walks over and grabs at James who starts to lift her up onto his shoulders. The crowd roars. Sam pushes on the ropes.

Sharper: “Sam Raine hoisted up. James just muscling her up!”

Knots: “Looking to eliminate the first person in this ring. Sam fighting!”

James keeps trying to push her over. He keeps trying before then pulling her away from the ropes and to the middle of the ring, but he turns to Owen who jumps up and hits a dropkick to the face and James falls back, hitting a Samoan drop onto Sam. The crowd ohs. Owen then starts to get up and grabs James and drags him up and nails him with a hard right. James falls into the ropes. Owen walks over and kicks him in the ribs. He then whips him across the ring. James bounces off and Owen jumps up and hits a frankensteiner. James rolls over and goes to the ropes. Owen then gets up and turns and Raine gets up and Owen turns and walks over to James. Raine then runs over and clubs him in the back. She then clubs him again and Owen falls into the ropes. Raine then backs up and goes for a dropkick. Owen goes up a bit, but falls back to the mat in the ring and moves to the corner.

Sharper: “Raine I think was hoping that would send Owen up and over.”

Knots: “Yeah, but she didn’t get enough of that up-swing. Or Owen had enough wits to keep the weight in the ring.”

Raine then gets up and stomps him in the chest. She stomps him again. She turns to James Evans and stomps him before the countdown clock returns.

The buzzer sounds as the lights go out and we see a red hue come over the entrance way as Sam Raine turns to the entrance and we see the familiar face of Kordelia Amida, the former Kordy, slowly walking down to the ring, emotionless as she looks at the ring.

Sharper: “That’s Kordy!”

Knots: “We’ve not seen her in long time and she looks like she’s just lost!”

Sharper: “You want to test that woman coming to the ring?”

Knots: “Hell no.”

Kordelia slowly continues to the ring as Sam watches her for a moment before turning back and kicks James in the ribs. James falls over to the corner. Sam glances back before forearming him again. She turns back and goes to Owen, but Owen hits a European uppercut. Kordelia pulls herself into the ring and Sam staggers back and Kordelia lifts Sam up and drops her onto the top rope with a hot shot. The crowd ohs and Sam rolls over, coughing. Owen then turns and runs at Kordelia and nails her with a clothesline. She just drops before she slowly and calmly starts to get up and Owen kicks her in the ribs and then again before hoisting her up onto his shoulders, but as he steps to the ropes, Kordelia slides down. Owen turns around and Kordelia grabs his arm and pulls her into a throat spike. Owen hits the mat, rolling over in pain. Kordelia then looks at James as he starts to get up.

Sharper: “My God! She’s just making sure she gets all of every shot!”

Knots: “Two people down. Two people struggling to breathe!”

Sharper: “This is not the same Kordy we saw before. And now James Evans is up.”

James looks at Kordelia and James then lunges and Kordelia sweeps around him and clubs him in the back and then again. She then pulls on the hair of James and James struggles before turning and Kordelia kicks him in the shins. She then goes to whip him into the ropes, but James blocks it and pulls her into the ropes. She bounces off and jumps up with a double knee. James falls to the ropes. Kordy then steps forward and runs at him and goes for a clothesline. James ducks under and spins around. He then jerks on her arm and pumlhandles her before throwing her back with a pumphandle suplex. The crowd ohs and Kordy rolls over. James then gets up and Sam Raine jumps up and hits an enziguri kick to the jaw. James falls over and Sam rolls over, coughing still as Owen is down. The countdown clock returns.

Sharper: “Sam drills James in the side of the head and these opening four are down.”

Knots: “I’m just stunned that Kordy returned and has nearly taken out three people. She used to be lost without someone like Red Rayne to guide her!”

“KABLAM!”

“I Wanna B Ur Lovr” starts to play as the crowd cheers. We then see Derek Adonis run out from the back before stopping and waving someone out. We then see Manvel and Cookie running out from the back too. Manvel has a bunch of copies of the KABLAMA Sutra under his arm. They all head to the ring. Cookie and Derek slide in as Manvel stops at the ring before walking around and starting to hand copies of the book to adult fans.

Sharper: “Derek Adonis out…”

Knots: “I want one! I need a new one!”

Sharper: “I don’t want to know…and does Derek Adonis have a microphone in his hand?”

Adonis: “Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve got a rare opportunity…with my lovely assistant, we are here to give you a public demonstration of the KABLAMa Sutra!”

The crowd roars. Cookie jumps up and down as Adonis continues.

Adonis: “Now, if you’d like, my Mantastic associate here has copies. So gather round…you too can learn. This first one is position three-hundred and twenty-three. The Hungry Crab! Not to be confused with the crabs no one wants…Oh no.”

James Evans stirs as Sam Raine just remains in the corner, unsure of what to do. Derek Adonis then watches as Cookie gets into a crabwalk position as Derek Adonis drops down to his back, spread eagle as the crowd roars. Cookie moves towards him, her head coming close to his waistlock. Derek Adonis starts to speak into the microphone.

Adonis: “And from this, regardless of who, can get a workout and savour their favourite dish of all, if you know what I mean?”

Adonis smiles and rolls over and turns and grabs the book again as Kordelia slowly stirs. James grabs at the ropes as Owen is in the corner. Manvel walks over and hands one copy of the book to Jonathan Knots.

Knots: “Oh damn it…it’s all oily. Better not have smudged any of the pages!”

Adonis speaks some more.

Adonis: “Next, position, three-hundred and twenty-four. The Precious Piledri- Oh nevermind. I don’t know if I can do that here. Don’t want to get banned!”

Adonis flips through the pages as Cookie pouts. Manvel continues to walk around before the countdown clock returns.

The buzzer goes before “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch starts to play. We see Alistaire Allocco walk out from the back as Adonis starts to speak again. He looks around before shaking his head and running down to the ring.

Adonis: “So how about we move forward…position three-hundred seventy! The Unending Delight. So-“

Alistaire enters the ring and immediately runs over and Adonis moves Cookie out of the way, causing her to trip on her heels, as Alistaire then grabs Adonis and spins him around and throws him over the top rope. Adonis hits the floor as the crowd ohs. Manvel looks up as Alistaire turns and goes over to Cookie and starts to help her. Kordy gets up as Sam then pulls herself up, deciding it best to finally intervene, but Manvel enters the ring and Alistaire keeps helping Cookie.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco out next. By fate maybe. I don’t know, but disgusted by Adonis and eliminating him.”

Knots: “Now he’s trying to be a gentleman. You wouldn’t know what to do with a woman like Cookie!”

Sharper: “But look, Manvel!”

Manvel enters and spins Alistaire around and then jumps up and hits a Mankick. Alistaire falls back and nearly goes up and over, but he holds onto the ropes and falls back into the ring. Manvel then checks on Cookie as Sam Raine gets up as Kordelia looks at both. She then lunges and nails Manvel with a thumb to the throat. Manvel falls over to the ropes and down to the mat. Cookie quickly bails out of the ring before Sam runs over and nails Kordy with a hard forearm. James then runs over and stomps Alistaire in the chest as he stirs. Adonis is slowly helped up and ushered around.

Sharper: “Adonis gone. Manvel gone. Cookie bailing and those last two thanks to Kordy, but now, Sam trying to deal with this new evolution if you will.”

Knots: “And James going after Alistaire. Manvel nearly eliminated him!”

Sharper: “And it would’ve been a legal elimination. Doesn’t matter how you’re eliminated, but obviously, the officials a bit stunned by Adonis’ showcase if you will.”

Knots: “Good news is that most pages are still legible despite the copious amounts of oil.”

Sharper: “Wonderful.”

Knots: “Dawn wouldn’t like this book. No need to bring her up.”

Sam runs into the ropes and jumps up and crossbodies Kordy down. She nails her with a couple of shots before James grabs Alistaire and starts to pull him up. Owen gets up too and James keeps trying and Owen tries to get Alistaire out. He reaches around, trying to hold on as Adonis joins his Golden Triangle teammates and head to the back. The countdown clock returns.

Sharper: “We’re back to the competition. The first four had some time to recuperate. Adonis actually maybe doing them a favour.”

Knots: “Sam looked like she picked up a few tricks. Kordy I think was thinking about how to destroy them all.”

Sharper: “Number seven about to enter. Only one person eliminated thus far, Derek Adonis!”

The buzzer goes and “Seizure of Power” by Marilyn Manson starts to play. We then see Dustin Adams walking out from the back before letting out a primal roar. He looks down to the ring and heads down.

Sharper: “Dustin Adams on his way in. Andrew Raynes’ ally and we’ve got some skill in that ring.”

Knots: “Sam Raine has done it all in other promotions. Kordy is a wild card. Owen has all the potential in the world. James Evans and Alistaire Allocco, unfortunately, both are former World Champions and now Adams.”

Sharper: “And we’re still just getting started here.”

Adams runs down and slides in and nails James in the ribs with a shot. Sam gets up as Alistaire drops down and Owen grabs him, but Alistaire knees him in the ribs. He then hits a twisting hip toss, taking down Owen. Sam turns and Alistaire kicks her in the ribs and whips her into the ropes as Adams takes a few more right handed shots to the ribs of James Evans. Sam bounces off and Alistaire grabs her and hits an exploder suplex. The crowd ohs. Alistaire turns and Kordy starts to get up and Alistaire grabs her and wrenches her arm before clotheslining her down. Kordy just hits the mat before slowly rolling over and starting to stir. Adams nails James again and tries to lift him up. Alistaire walks over and starts to help Dustin too as the crowd roars. James struggles.

Sharper: “Alistaire and Dustin Adams working together, trying to remove one of two former winners, that we know of now, in this thing.”

Knots: “If Adam Riddick returns, I’ll eat this book and the oily cover!”

James keeps fighting as Sam grabs at the ropes. Kordy gets up too and Owen pulls himself up and Kordy just runs towards Owen and hits a diving clothesline, knocking him down. She then mounts him and calmly nails him with a hard right and then another before getting up. She turns and glances around the ring as James nails Dustin with a shot and then another. Alistaire then hoists him up and turns and throws him forward, but right into Kordy, causing James to take her down. Kordy just hits and remains down as Alistaire looks at her and immediately has some concern. James rolls over and the Alistaire moves over towards her and leans over her as Adams then grabs Sam. Kordy suddenly grabs Alistaire by the throat. She slowly stirs as Alistaire struggles and James runs over and spears Alistaire down. The crowd ohs and Kordy goes down too. Kordy slowly stirs as James then gets up and grabs Kordy and starts to try and lift her up and over, but Kordy starts to bite James’ forehead. Sam struggles as Adams tries to get her up and over.

Sharper: “I don’t even know what to make of Kordy. She’s not struggling, but she’s biting.”

Knots: “And she’s been thrown around. People thrown on her. Speaking of that, Sam Raine may be about to be thrown out!”

Sam keeps fighting as Adams tries to get up. Kordy keeps biting as James then shoves her back. Kordy falls into the ropes, bounces off and then walks forward as James gets up and Kordy kicks him in the ribs. Alistaire stirs as does Owen and Owen grabs Alistaire and starts to pull him up to the ropes. The countdown clock returns.

The buzzer goes before “Style” by Taylor Swift starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd roars. We then see Sienna Swann walk out from the back, clearly annoyed. She just focuses on the ring as she makes her way down.

Sharper: “Sienna Swann is number eight!”

Knots: “That’s not number thirty-nine?!”

Sharper: “No its not and the IronAngel is going to have to show that endurance tonight if she wants any chance of making it to Rise to Greatness!”

Sienna continues on her way to the ring as Owen nails Alistaire in the ribs and then again before trying to lift him up. Sam kicks at Adams and manages to slide down before dropping down. Kordy tries to just push James over, choking him. Sienna hops onto the apron and enters the ring. She then sees Sam running over to her and nails her with a hard right before Sam nails her with a shot. They trade blows before Sienna gets a blocked shot in and nails her. She turns around and Adams kicks her in the ribs and then just scoop slams her down. Sienna turns and jumps up and knees Kordy in the back. Kordy falls over and James and her go over the top rope before holding on and rolling back in. Sienna turns around and then starts to help Owen with Alistaire.

Sharper: “Sienna now working with Owen Cruze and there’s some history there. Former Trios Tournament teammates.”

Knots: “Why not find an ally and run with it to the end?”

Sharper: “And we know Regan Street and Josh Hudson are in this. We’re not sure when they’ll be in.”

Knots: “Except Regan was pretty annoyed earlier. Ravyn pulled something with her.”

Sharper: “That’s one issue – was that driven by Katya, Mr. D’s daughter? Was that Ravyn having fun to get into Regan’s head?”

Knots: “And pissing her off?!”

Sienna keeps working with Alistaire and Alistaire goes up and over and lands on the apron before diving back in. Sienna then turns and forearm Owen in the jaw. The crowd roars and Owen falls back and Sienna kicks him in the ribs and then again. Kordy and James stirs as Adams turns and grabs Alistaire and drags him up and runs him across the ring and driving him face first into the corner. Adams then tries to hoist him up. Sam stirs and Kordy gets up and grabs Sam and clubs her in the back, knocking her down. She clubs her again before Sienna starts to choke Owen in the corner with her foot. James then spins Kordy down, hoisting her up and spinning her down with a spinebuster. He looks up and stirs as Sam rolls away.

Sharper: “Kordy planted as James takes her over. Sienna working over Owen.”

Knots: “Allocco could be out. Dustin Adams trying to get him out!”

James starts to get up and walks over and clubs Adams in the back. He nails him again and Adams staggers back. Allocco drops down. Sienna turns around as Sam stirs and nails her with a forearm and then a kick to the ribs before hitting a vertical suplex. She turns as the countdown clock returns. Sam stomps at Sienna, who rolls to the ropes.

The buzzer goes off. “Real Wild Child” by Josie and the Pussycats plays as Gigi Steward runs out from the back.

Knots: “Could this be her year?!”

Gigi runs down as Sam grabs at Sienna and tries to lift her up. Sienna grabs at the ropes. Owen stirs as Allocco remains down as James nails Adams with a hard right. He falls to the ropes.

Owen covers up as Gigi nails him over and over. Sienna holds on as Alistaire grabs at the ropes. James starts to lift Adams up and Adams reaches over and goes for the face. Adams rakes the eyes. Evans turns around and Alistaire clotheslines him down. Evans hits the mat and rolls over. Gigi continues to work over Owen as Alistaire turns and Adams nails him with a hard right. Adams then kicks him in the ribs and then again before he turns and sees Kordelia getting up. He then scoffs before walking over to her and pulling her up and Kordelia just headbutts him. He staggers back and turns and nails her with a hard right.

Sharper: “Adams and Kordy going at it. Sienna just getting free. She’s trying.”

Knots: “Ring is filling up. People need to start going or you’re going to have to watch your back as much as kicking ass!”

Kordelia hits the mat but starts to get up and Adams grabs her and turns and goes to lift her up and over. Sienna gets free and drops and knees Sam in the back. She falls over.

Sharper: “Gigi’s out! Sam Raine with the elimination!”

Knots: “Sienna could be next. Owen is trying to get her up. Kordy too! James and Alistaire working over her!”

Sharper :”Sienna and Kordy in trouble! Another about to enter!”

The buzzer goes. “Smooth Criminal (Violin Instrumental)” by David Garrett plays as we see Ikiro Yoshida run out from the back. The crowd cheers as he runs down to the ring and slides in. He gets up and runs over and nails Owen in the back. Sienna drops down and falls forward. He then turns and nails Alistaire in the back with a shot before elbowing James. He spins around and Sam runs at her and Ikiro lowers his head and back drops her down.

Sharper: “Ikiro Yoshida now in at number ten. One quarter of the field officially has entered!”

Knots: “And can he rebound after losing the interim US Title?”

Sharper: “Maybe he has his eyes on something bigger, the World Title!”

Ikiro turns and nails James with a hard right and then grabs Alistaire and holds both before driving him face first into the each other. Owen walks over to Sienna and clubs her in the back.

The crowd ohs and boos as Kordelia backs up.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! Kordy just eliminated Ikiro Yoshida.”

Knots: “The slide continues!”

She then turns around and Sienna suddenly lunges and drills her with the Kiss of an Angel. She then looks down at Kordelia as the crowd ohs. She just looks at her before she turns around and Alistaire runs at her and grabs her and hits an exploder suplex. The crowd ohs and Alistaire turns.

Alistaire then turns and walks over and scoops her up and tries to lift her up as James hoists Owen up, trying to eliminate him.

Sharper: “Sienna and Kordy down. But Owen Cruze and Sam Raine could be next to go out. Alistaire Allocco is trying to get Sam out. Just overpowering her.”

Knots: “Both fighting though. And you gotta. Gotta do what you can. But for Sienna, the most who stay away from her, the better!”

Ikiro slowly walks around, shaking his head. Sienna stirs as Kordy remains down on the mat, lifeless. Sam kicks at Alistaire’s head and nails him again. She then pushes off and rolls to the apron.

The buzzer goes as we start to hear the sound of intense chopping from a chef before we see Chef Momar walk out from the back, wearing his chef whites, and brandishing a knife. He holds it up as we see some officials out and telling him to hand over the knife. He then looks around before reluctantly putting it down. He then spins around and maniacally staggering to the ring. He looks in the ring, with wide eyes.

Knots: “My new pick.”

Sharper: “You can’t be serious. That’s that chef from catering at Unflawed!”

Knots: “And he’s coming to fight for the love of pot roast around the lands!”

Sharper: “What in the actual hell…”

Momar continues on his way to the ring as Owen gets up and turns around before Sienna nails him with a hard kick to the ribs and Owen falls over.

He then turns and starts to go over to Sienna and Alistaire and helps Alistaire out as Sienna starts to go up and over, nearly going upside down. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Evans and Allocco both sensing that Sienna has to be considered a favourite and wanting to get her out of there.”

Knots: “Hold on. You need to hold on. You need to last a hell of a lot longer!”

Kordelia remains in the corner as Owen stirs and Sam then starts to get up. Kordelia walks out of the corner and boots Owen in the face. She then walks over and grabs Sam and whips her into the ropes. She bounces off and Kordelia catches her and spins her around into the Black Mass. The crowd ohs and Kordelia looks at her. She then drags Sam towards the ropes as the boos. The countdown clock returns. Kordelia starts to hoist her up as Sienna rakes the eyes of Alistaire and lands on the apron and dives in.

The buzzer goes and “Through Struggle” by As I Lay Dying plays. Andrew Raynes runs out from the back.

Sharper: “The SCW Adrenaline Champion, Andrew Raynes!”

Knots: “Get in there and starting going after anyone. Help Sienna maybe! That would be nice!”

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes, number twelve, running down and the ring is filling up again!”

He runs down as Sienna starts to get up and James turns and goes over to Raynes as he slides in. Raynes elbows him in the ribs and again before he nails him with a hard right. He turns and runs across and hits a knee lift on Owen Cruze. He spins around as he sees Sam being held up by Kordelia and shrugs and runs over and goes to lift them. They both go up and over. Sam holds on and rolls in. Kordelia ends up in a seated position on the apron and calmly enters the ring. Raynes turns around and as Sienna stirs, Raynes nails Alistaire with a hard right and then spears him in the ribs before rearing back and spearing him again.

Sharper: “Raynes coming in. His newest ally, Dustin Adams, already out, so he may be alone, but you’re right. You could see him work with Sienna here. The shared friendship of Bree Mason.”

Knots: “I get its every person for themselves, but imagine if you have someone in there. You could just make it a bit easier for yourself. Then at the end worry about taking each other out!”

Kordelia starts to get up as she then walks over to Sienna and clubs her in the back. Raynes backs up and Sam stirs as James Evans nails Owen with a shot before starting to lift him up again. Owen however fights him off and nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Evans falls over and Owen just grabs him and throws him at the ropes and Evans falls through them and to the floor. The crowd roars, but the referee waves off any elimination. Raynes grabs Alistaire and whips him across the ring. Alistaire hits the opposite side and Raynes then turns and grabs Kordelia and throws her down. She just rolls through and looks up at Raynes. Raynes looks at her oddly before watching her and we see Owen then grabs Kordelia and rams her into Raynes. Raynes falls back into the corner. Kordelia shakes it off and turns to him and Owen then grabs her and whips her into the corner. Owen goes to turn to go after her, but Alistaire runs over and hits a clothesline. Alistaire walks around and the crowd boos. Evans stirs on the floor as Sienna looks over as Alistaire grabs Owen and pulls him up and Sienna moves over and drills Alistaire with the Kiss of an Angel. The crowd ohs and Alistaire just drops. Sienna falls back to the ropes. She then smiles before turning and running over to Owen and hitting a running bulldog. She then looks up and turns as Kordy remains in the corner. Raynes goes to step out and Sam slowly stirs and Sienna grabs Sam and pulls her up as the countdown clock returns.

Sharper: “Sienna dropping Alistaire Allocco with the Kiss of an Angel.”

Knots: “And James Evans is getting a chance to recuperate while on the floor here.”

Sharper: “Sienna has Sam now and it looks like Sienna could be looking to start getting some bodies out of the ring.”

We hear the sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen. The crowd erupts with a roar as

“Who’s Next?” by Porcelain and the Tramps starts to play. We then see Regan Street storming out from the back. Sienna looks over to the entrance way and smiles a bit as Regan Street heads to the ring.

Knots: “Now that makes a lot of sense.”

Sharper: “That’s why she was setting something up. She knew Regan would be coming out! Even with the number switch. Lucky thirteen. Ravyn I think had to love that if she did pull something, but it may be working in her favour. Two members of Past, Present, Future are in that ring!”

Regan Street then runs down and slides in. Sienna then turns and throws Sam at Regan who goes for a hard right, but Sam suddenly blocks it and kicks her in the ribs and then hits a back kick on Sienna. The crowd roars as James stirs on the floor and we then see Sam nail Regan with a forearm shot and then turns and nails Sienna before Raynes runs over and clotheslines her down. Sam hits the mat and rolls over. Owen rolls over as Alistaire remains down too. We then see Raynes turn to Sienna and Regan before saying something to Sienna and Sienna nods before Regan grabs Sam and turns and waits as Sienna and Rayne move to the ropes and Regan throws Sam at them before Sienna and Raynes hoist her up and she goes up and over to the floor with a back drop. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Sam eliminated. Three on one. Raynes, Sienna and Regan, working together.”

Knots: “Raynes making sure that Sienna knew he was on his side. Probably the connection with Bree. But PPF and Raynes doing damage. Sam’s out!”

Kordelia then turns and walks over and nails Regan with a hard right before nailing Sienna before nailing Raynes. She turns and Regan kicks her in the ribs and then again and again. Sienna clubs her in the back and Regan and Sienna throw her to the ropes. She stops herself and Regan runs over and clotheslines her over. Kordelia goes up and over and lands on her feet before falling back into the barricade. She falls to a knee and slowly looks up before officials tell her she’s eliminated.

Sharper: “Kordy is gone!”

Knots: “And she’s still on her feet.”

Sam looks up as she tries to get back into the ring. Regan turns and laughs at her a bit before Alistiare Allocco runs out and nails Raynes with a clothesline. He turns and nails Sienna and grabs her and pulls her in for an exploder suplex, but we see Regan turn around as Sienna yells out and Regan clubs him in the back and then again and again. Raynes stirs as Sienna turns to Regan and the two of them just start to hammer away on him with repeatedly blows to the back. He covers up as best as he can and just falls to his hands and knees. Sienna then hits a knee to the back of his head and then again as Raynes gets up and grabs him. James starts to get up on the floor as Sienna backs up and stomps Owen in the chest as he stirs and then again and again. Owen rolls over and Regan and Raynes grab Alistaire. Sienna walks over and grabs him too and the three of them throw Alistaire up and over the top rope. He tries to hold on, but Regan runs over and stomps him in the face, knocking him down to the floor. The crowd boos. The countdown clock returns.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco eliminated and a former World Champion is out. Who is going to enter into this ring that’s now dominated by PPF!”

The buzzer sounds. “Whoa Is Me” by Down With Webster plays as the crowd roars as we see the Emerge RUSH Champion, Gavin Taylor stepping out from the back.

Knots: “Looks like this kid drew a bad spot!”

Sharper: “The All-Star! The EMERGE Rush Champion! Number fourteen in the fifteenth annual Taking Hold of the Flame!”

Gavin Taylor then starts to walk down to the ring before stopping and looking in as Raynes, Regan and Sienna await him. Gavin the nods before hopping onto the apron and entering the ring. He holds his hands up as he starts to talk to them. He then points to all three of them before pointing to himself.

Knots: “Maybe he’s got a plan. Trying to add to this alliance.”

Sharper: “Won’t hurt.”

Just then, James Evans enters the ring and runs up from behind and nails Sienna from behind. Sienna falls over and James turns and Andrew Raynes nails him with a hard right. Regan then turns and sees this before Gavin runs over and kicks James too and then again before pointing to the three of them. James nails Raynes with a shot as Owen stirs and Regan then kciks James in the ribs before Gavin kicks him in the ribs and then again and again. He then tells them to back up and Gavin pulls James in. He then hoists him up and onto his shoulder. He moves him a bit and drops him with the Highlight of the Night. Gavin rolls over and smiles and looks around.

Sharper: “And Gavin Taylor dropping James Evans with the Highlight of the Night! That elevated neckbreaker!”

Knots: “James Evans may regret returning to the ring-“

Sharper: “Or maybe not!”

Gavin goes for a high-five, before Raynes kicks him in the ribs and Regan grabs him and runs him towards the ropes and throws him over the top rope to the floor. The crowd ohs and some boo as Gavin rolls over.

Knots: “At least he got a moment! Regan probably realized they already have the future spot filled in PPF!”

Owen stirs as Sienna starts to get up and James rolls over. Regan and Andrew walk around before Regan turns and starts to try and help Sienna up and Andrew meanwhile walks over and stomps Owen in the chest and then again. The countdown clock returns as Gavin Taylor looks around and shakes his head as we see the countdown clock return.

The buzzer goes and “Adrenaline” by Gavin Rossdale plays as the crowd roars. Andrew Raynes turns and looks at the entrance way and starts to motion for Dylan to come down to the ring. Regan remains focused on Sienna as Andrew continues to be ready.

Sharper: “Oh boy! Here we go! Dylan Howell is number fifteen and Andrew Raynes is ready!”

Knots: “Ready and waiting for him to come down to the ring!”

James moves back to the corner before we see Dylan Howell hopping the barricade. He then turns and rolls into the ring. Regan glances up before turning to Dylan and turning to stop him, but Dylan grabs Raynes from behind and hoists him up and throws him back with a German suplex. He holds on and slowly pulls him up. He then throws him back. Regan moves out of the way as Andrew’s arm nearly catches her. Howell holds on and starts to pull him again, not letting go of the waistlock. He then pulls him up to his feet and hits a third German suplex. He then rolls over as Regan turns to him and James runs over and nails her with a forearm and then spins her into the corner. Sienna just looks on as Dylan hoists Raynes up before then letting go and grabbing him by his head and waist and running him to the ropes and throwing him up and over the top rope. Raynes lands on the mats, feet first, and rolls to the barricade as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Raynes is gone! Howell eliminates him!”

Knots: “He came from behind! What the hell? And he was teamed with your half-sister!”

Sharper: “Howell I don’t know if he cared about that alliance. He cared about getting Raynes out of there!”

James starts to lift Regan up before Howell spins around and turns and goes over and nails James in the back. He then pulls him up and nails him with a forearm shiver. He turns back and checks on Regan. Regan shoves him back and throws her arms up. Howell just shrugs a bit before we see Owen Cruze running over and hitting a dropkick to the back of Dylan, knocking him into Regan. Regan falls to a knee as they hit heads. Owen then turns and Sienna kicks him in the thigh and then again. Raynes tries to get back into the ring, but is stopped by officials as he’s forced away from the ring. Sienna kicks Owen a third time and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Owen jumps up and snaps her over with a frankensteiner. He then looks up and rolls over. Regan starts to get up and walks over to Owen and elbows him in the back of the head and then again. James stirs as Dylan shakes off the cobwebs and grabs him and pushes him into the corner he shoulders him in the ribs as the countdown clock returns.

Sharper: “Things settling down, but Regan now going after Owen Cruze. First two entrants in this match, still in there, and getting to thirty minutes of in-ring time. James Evans and Owen Cruze.”

Knots: “Yeah, but James could be out soon. Howell could do something worthwhile!”

The buzzer goes as “My House” by PVRIS blares throughout the arena. Katelyn Buehler walks out from the back and lets out a primal scream before starting to walk to the ring. She heads to the ring as Howell keeps trying to get Evans up. Regan nails Owen again and then again as Sienna pulls herself up and Katelyn slides into the ring. She gets up and Sienna holds her head and neck and Katelyn spins and drills her with the KTFO. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Now that’s an entrance! Katelyn is hoping her house is the ring here in Taking Hold of the Flame. Didn’t go well earlier, but she just took out Sienna!”

Knots: “Two people who have won this before too!”

The countdown clock returns as Sienna keeps holding on, arching her back as Chad and Selena try to get her up, before Chad elbows Selena in the ribs. Sienna drops down and Chad nails Selena with a hard kick to the ribs. He then spins around her and hits a German suplex. Selena turns. Giovanni nails Thirteen with a hard right and another, knocking him back.

The buzzer goes as “Judas” by Fozzy plays. Josh Hudson steps out and Ravyn backs up, jogging away from the entrance way as a couple of officials are still walking with Ravyn and Regan, keeping them apart. Josh glances over to Ravyn before turning to Regan who steps up to him and says something. Hudson just nods before starting to run down to the ring.

Sharper: “Regan Street out and Josh Hudson out now.”

Knots: “You wonder if they planned this order. Sienna being the IronAngel. Josh Hudson coming in as the clean-up?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but it could be a boon here. A lot of people in that ring he’s had some problems with. Chad Evans. Thirteen. And let’s not forget Selena and Sienna obviously.”

Giovanni Aries grabs Thirteen and drives him into the corner. Thirteen turns as Hudson runs down and slides into the ring. He immediately goes over and grabs Chad and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex. He turns and goes over to Giovanni and Thirteen and grabs Giovanni and grabs him and hits a release German suplex. He rolls over and Thirteen steps out and Hudson hoists him up onto his shoulders and hits a fireman’s roll. He then turns and goes over to Sienna Swann and helps her up. The two talk before both go over and immediately start to stomp away on Selena, leading to boos from the crowd. Selena covers up as Hudson and Sienna take their liberties on Selena.

Sharper: “And now immediately paying dividends. Stomping away on Selena.”

Knots: “Hudson’s fresh. Sienna isn’t. But Sienna’s the IronAngel. And she’s going to try and hold on here.”

Sharper: “Selena could be in a lot of trouble. That’s for sure.”

Sienna looks at her and then looks around before showing some of her frustration. She then turns back and Thirteen suddenly kicks her in the ribs and double underhooks her up and hits the Broken Wings!

Sharper: “Almost fitting! Broken Wings on the IronAngel! Could that do it?”

Knots: “Selena’s just hanging out on the steel steps!”

Sharper: “Still in. All allowed. She saw the opportunity and it frustrated Sienna’s attempt as they almost got her out!”

Selena looks in as Thirteen rolls over and starts to get up and Giovanni walks over and kicks him in the ribs. He then spins him around and hoists him up and hits a back suplex into a backbreaker.

Hudson stirs as Selena gets up. Selena turns and hits a dropkick to him, knocking him down.

The buzzer goes as we hear organ music play as “Mercy on Me” can be heard. The crowd boos loudly as Katie Steward walks out from the back with TJ Johnson at her side. She heads down to the ring and looks in it before taking off her robe. She hands it to TJ before heading to the ring. She hops onto the apron and enters the ring. Selena steps forward and Katie nails her with a forearm shot and then another and another.

Sharper: “Katie Steward is number thirty-nine. The long-time veteran. And she’s been in a lot of these and lasted to the end in many of them. She’s in prime position to maybe make this her year!”

Knots: “And she’s going right for Selena Frost!”

TJ turns and goes over to the timekeeper and tries to grab the chair, but officials stop him and Katie lets out a Goddess Scream.

Sharper: “Oh God…that shriek.”

Knots: “TJ is just trying to help!”

Sharper: “Trying to get her a chair. She wants to take advantage of the fact that she’s the only one standing!”

She then turns and Chad runs over and clotheslines her down. CHBK takes a cheap shot on Katie to be good as officials reprimand him and CHBK backs up. He walks around as TJ Johnson walks around, trying to get to CHBK, but officials stop him.

Sharper: “CHBK causing some problems as TJ Johnson is now fired up.”

Sharper: “And look at Katie. Trying to get Selena out of there.”

Sharper: “Selena nearly had Sienna and outlasted all of PPF, but Chad Evans getting the elimination, catching her and Sienna’s loving it.”

Knots: “Final four now! Selena will need to use her Trios contract like she can’t taunting she would…she’ll need to do it to go to Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “Is it going to be Syren getting her rematch? Is Sienna Swann finally going to get her shot at the title or will God damned Lizard Kings be on the menu? I don’t know. But for the record…just like my pick…The KABLAMa Sutra also picks Sienna.”

Sienna turns and holds on and tries to hold on, but Syren just kicks at her in the ribs and then again and again. Sienna slips and just falls to the ground, exhausted and eliminated.

Knots: “Damn! Damn!”

Sharper: “Just nothing left. Syren too fresh and just too relentless and Sienna couldn’t hold on. An amazing athlete and attitude aside, I will never take anything away from her ability.”

Knots: “We may be just moments away from Syren getting her rematch. Giovanni is out. Syren is standing. CHBK cheering her on…I’m going to be sick.”

Syren turns back and smiles and looks around as the crowd boos. The camera shot goes wide as Syren then walks over and grabs at Giovanni. She then slowly pulls him up and winces a bit before hoisting him up again and placing him on the ropes. Syren then grabs him and starts to hoist him up.

Phillips: “Here is your winner and number one contender to the SCW World Championship…Giovanni Aries!”

The crowd cheers as Giovanni Aries falls to his knees and seemingly comes back to normal and looks out and then throws his arms out.

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries has eliminated Syren to be the last person standing. He will go to Rise to Greatness XV to challenge for the World Championship.”

Knots: “Rise to Greatness XV is going down the rabbit hole!”

Sharper: “The most unique, eclectic challenger we may ever have.”

Knots: “The Lizard King better fear!”

Sharper: “What about Kennedy Street?”

Knots: “Well she’s no Lizard person. But she’ll be ready!”

Sharper: “Thank you for joining us. Giovanni Aries has punched his golden ticket. The road to Rise to Greatness is here!”

Giovanni Aries remains standing in the ring posing as the crowd cheers. We then cut to a shot of Giovanni Aries in the ring with the Rise to Greatness banner in the background. Syren just looks up and looks around in disbelief. Sienna Swann is still down too on the floor. CHBK is with Syren. We then cut back to the ring as Giovanni holds out his hands as if about to grab something in front of him as the scene slowly fades to black…
