The scene cuts to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and Jon, eight teams, all randomly drawn, all fighting for one thing, those Trios Tournament contracts.”

Knots: “That’s right. The winning team, each member gets a contract where they can use the contract for any one match they want in the next calendar year. A lot of power and we know a lot want it.”

Sharper: “Some for opportunity. Some to protect themselves in uncertain times. But we’ll see what happens tonight!”

Alistaire Allocco, James Evans & Casterillo vs. Kellen Jeffries, Regan Street & Glory Braddock

Quarterfinals of the Trios Tournament

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela behind her.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a quarterfinals match for the 2019 Trios Tournament. First, accompanied by Mikaela Street, she is the Hellcat, Regan Street!”

She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they cheer. Regan turns to Mikaela, they both nod before she looks around at the crowd, smirking as she walks to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela.

Sharper: “Regan Street the first out. She’s been in this tournament multiple times before. Always coming close. She wants to finally win it.”

Knots: “Yeah, but she has a huge week. Tonight, Trios. Empty Arena match for the SCW Adrenaline Championship against Ravyn Taylor on Breakdown.”

As Regan continues on her way, the music changes to “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift. Glory Braddock walks out from the back, wearing her wrestling gear. She looks around and scans the crowd before starting to make her way down to the ring.

Phillips: “Next, her partner, she is the British Bombshell, Glory Braddock!”

Sharper: “Glory Braddock getting ignored by Katya as of late as she came in because of Sasha. But Glory Braddock knows that a contract could change everything.”

Knots: “And she’s got the skill to do it. As will be the case with all of these teams is whether they can come together as a team or it will be every person for themselves.”

The music changes again as Glory heads to the ring. "The Authority Song" by John Mellencamp hits the speakers and Kellen Jeffries comes out from the back with Amber Sloane and heads to the ring.

Phillips: “And finally, he is the Man-God, Kellen Jeffries.”

The couple heads to the ring where Amber patiently goes to his teams corner. Kellen walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Regan turns to him and watches him as Glory walks over and starts to talk to him.

Sharper: “Kellen Jeffries may be the wildcard for this team. Every team has one if you think about it and this one comes from his past.”

Knots: “Kennie asking Regan to give a report on him. If he has changed. For Kellen, this is about forging an opportunity right out of the gate.”

The opening of “Close Your Eyes" can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a positive reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in cheers. The camera remains on James, holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship, as he breaks through the curtain. The cheers intensify as James looks out at the crowd.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, he is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, he is James Evans!”

He starts to head to the ring as his music changes to a timer running on the screen, counting down from five to one. A momentarily pause in darkness as “Fire It Up” by Thousand Foot Krutch begins to play, as the song begins to pick up into full swing, a quick line of pyrotechnics goes off, running down across the length of the stage. Through the smoke, out pops Alistaire Allocco, with both arms raised as if in presumptive victory.

Phillips: “Next, his partner, he is Alistaire Allocco!”

He marches down the ramp with his harms still held high. Alistaire doesn’t even give the crowd any attention as he heads straight towards the bottom of the ring steps.

Sharper: “Going to be interesting how Allocco and James get along. Allocco had a history with Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter. That’s gone. Now James Evans and them didn’t get along.”

Knots: “Alistaire Allocco pisses everyone off. So I expect him to do the same here!”

The entire arena suddenly goes black and stays that way for about 10 seconds, making the crowd begin to think that nothing is going to happen. That is until 1 solitary lightning strike strikes on the titantron. This leads right to the beginning of "Seven Devils" by Florence & The Machine.

Phillips: “And finally, their other partner, Casterillo!”

The music plays even though the arena stays dark. It is about 10 more seconds before suddenly the lights turn on, with the dark figure of Casterillo standing right in the center of the ring, with a blank look in his eyes. He however turns and calmly steps through the ropes. Allocco looks at him as James watches both of them.

Sharper: “Casterillo the last man in and calmly already leaving the ring.”

Knots: “Both teams a motley crew to say the least. At least Casterillo showed up!”

The bell sounds as Regan paces in the ring on her side. She snaps at her opponents as we then see Alistaire Allocco tell James Evans he’ll start. He turns around and immediately Regan grabs him and wrenches the arm and snaps him down to the mat. Alistaire rolls over, holding his arm in pain as the crowd roars. He starts to get up and Regan nails him with a hard right and then another. Alistaire falls into the corner and Regan steps up onto the middle turnubuckle and hammers away on Alistaire. The crowd roars.

Regan hops off and runs across the ring. She bounces off and Alistaire stumbles out and Regan hits a diving clothesline. The crowd roars. Regan goes for the pin.

Alistaire kicks out. He rolls over and moves to the ropes, grabbing at the bottom rope as he tries to get some space. Regan grabs his foot.

Sharper: “Regan ready to fight and Allocco’s arrogance getting the better of him!”

Knots: “It was almost over right there!”

Regan tries to pull Allocco off. Allocco snaps at the referee to get her off, but Regan pulls him off. He turns to his back and looks up as Regan grabs the other foot, but Allocco brings her in and shoves her off. Regan falls back and rolls over. She gets up and Allocco turns and tags in James. James enters the ring and Regan goes over and nails him with a hard forearm and then another. The crowd roars. Regan turns and nails Casterillo with a shot before kicking Allocco off the apron as he rolls to it. He grabs James and pulls him out by the head, but James nails her in the ribs and then turns and pushes her into the ropes. Regan bounces off and James nails her with a back elbow. James walks around as Regan holds his jaw. She starts to get up and turns and runs at James, but James rolls out of the way. Regan stops at the corner. She turns and runs out and James scoops her up on the rebound and hits a huge spinning spinebuster. He rolls through for the pin.

Regan pushes him off and rolls over. James turns.

Sharper: “Huge spinebuster! Only two!”

Knots: “And Regan’s own momentum nearly cost her big. She’s riled up and ready to fight and James knowing that!”

James turns and grabs Regan and drags her up and clubs her in the back. The crowd chants “Let’s go James! Let’s go Regan!” James knees her in the ribs before whipping her into the ropes. She bounces off and James clotheslines her down. He goes for the pin.

Regan kicks out. James drags her up and turns and runs her into the corner, driving her face first into the top turnbuckle. Regan turns and James drives his shoulder into her ribs. He rears back and drives his shoulder in again. He then grabs Regan and whips her across the ring. Regan winces and staggers out and James scoops her up and hits a powerslam. He goes for another pin.

Regan gets her shoulder up. James gets up and turns and tags in Casterillo. Casterillo enters as Kellen and Glory extend their arm. James holds Regan and Casterillo just grabs Regan instead of taking the free shot and wrenching the arm and nailing her with a hard right.

Sharper: “I don’t know if that was miscommunication or intentional.”

Knots: “I doubt it was intentional. James wanted to give Casterillo a shot. Casterillo wanted to do it himself.”

Sharper: “Part of the charm of this tournament. Many are teaming for the first time together. All for the opportunity to earn contracts to give them whatever they want.”

Casterillo then scoops her up and hits a scoop slam. He hits a snap elbow drop. Regan rolls over. She reaches out and Casterillo grabs her by the hair. He drags her up and clubs her in the back. Casterillo spins her around and whips her into the corner. Casterillo runs after and Regan gets a boot up. Casterillo stumbles back. Regan runs out and hits a dropkick to Casterillo’s left leg. The crowd roars. Regan rolls over and turns and tags in Glory Braddock. Glory enters the ring and Casterillo pulls himself up seething and Glory nails him with a dropkick. The crowd roars.

Casterillo turns and Glory grabs at him, but Casterillo rolls through, getting a oh from the crowd, before tagging James back in. James enters as the crowd roars. Glory turns and James goes for a hard right to the ribs and then another.

Sharper: “Great agility from Casterillo. Given that he’s not been competing, instead running from Konrad-“

Knots: “Yeah. Too bad he’s got the attitude he does have.”

Sharper: “And now one half of the tag team champions back in and against someone his partner, Angelica Jones, knows very well in Glory Braddock.”

James pushes Glory into the ropes and fires her off. She bounces off and James goes for a clothesline. Glory ducks and jumps to the top rope and dives back with a dropkick. The crowd roars. James falls over. He starts to get up and turns and Glory grabs him by the head and spins him around into a swinging neckbreaker. She goes for the pin.

James however fights and then throws her over head with a release northern lights suplex into the corner. The crowd ohs. James falls over. He winces.

Sharper: “Bad landing for Glory Braddock!”

Knots: “Really bad and that could be horrible either way. Weak link now for the team and going forward if they somehow move on!”

James rolls over and drags Glory out. He then hoists her up and hits a back suplex. He goes for the pin.

Kellen starts to enter, but Glory gets her shoulder up. James looks up and Kellen backs up. Amber looks on with Mikaela, who keeps her eyes on her.

He then locks in a dragon sleeper before going immediately into a grapevine. The crowd boos as Alistaire smiles.

Alistaire pulls back as Glory reaches out. Kellen looks on and Regan just throws her arms up and enters and runs over and stomps Alistaire in the face over and over before James enters, Casterillo just glaring. The referee gets Regan back as the crowd roars. Alistaire snaps at the official and tells him to disqualify her. Glory rolls over and slowly stirs as Alistaire then turns to Regan and Kellen and lectures them before turning back to Glory, who suddenly jumps up and hits the Gloria in Excelsis Dio! The crowd roars. Alistaire rolls back to his back, holding his jaw. Glory rolls over and reaches out. Kellen and Regan both have their arms out. Alistaire turns and reaches up and Casterillo tags himself in. The crowd boos and Glory dives and tags in Kellen Jeffries. The crowd cheers.

The crowd roars as Glory slides in. The crowd roars.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Regan Street, Kellen Jeffries and Glory Braddock!”

Sharper: “Kellen Jeffries with the win, finding the Game Misconduct and pulling Casterillo down for long enough.”

Knots: “And you wonder if Casterillo nailing Regan set her off again. She went right for James and Alistaire before they could even get in the ring.”

Sharper: “The first team moves on to the semi-finals. Kellen Jeffries, Glory Braddock and Regan Street. One of the final four teams!”

Regan walks around as Kellen rolls over and has his arm raised. Glory walks over and acknowledges him as Alistaire Allocco smacks the barricade on the floor. James rolls over as Casterillo stirs. Regan looks at Casterillo as Mikaela stops her from doing anything more as they remain in the ring and we cut away.

Backstage we open up to see Lexy Chapel standing with Katya. The crowd boos seeing them.

Lexy: “The greatest backstage interviewer is here with our splendiferous boss, Katya and tonight, you put an ultimatum down on Bree Lancaster. She had to choose tonight, Tag Title shot or US Title shot. Pretty clever to also do it on a night where she could avoid needing to choose!”

Katya: “That was the point. Let’s see what happens. Not that Bree needed more motivation. She’s always had it and someone like that tends to exude it, but it was also to make sure she’d work as a team. Yes, Syren is part of her team, but it would be horrible if she was selfish generally, so if they are successful, you’re right. She can flip a coin for all I care. But if not…it’s a harder decision. Just adding some motivation. Making those who frankly talk too much, or act like they are owed everything…they need to refocus. That’s all.”

Lexy: “So when will she need to give her response?”

Katya: “I’ll be kind. She can get through the tournament. But before she leaves this building, she’ll need to make her decision. Good luck…”

Lexy: “Excellent. Back to the ring!”

Katya smiles as Lexy does too and we cut away.

Giovanni Aries, Ruby Amarant & Damian Angel vs. Kandis, Andrew Raynes & Kimberly Williams

Quarterfinals of the Trios Tournament

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a quarterfinal match of the 2019 Trios Tournament. First, on her way to the ring, she is Kimberly Williams!”

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

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams having a newsworthy week. She stood by Marie Jones, her twin sister, and gave her loyalty to Katya. But some tension there.”

Knots: “With Dark Fantasy and give her attitude and personality, I don’t blame them for not trusting them and I love that they’re stuck with her!”

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

Phillips: “Her partner, first, she is Kandis!”

Some of the males in the crowd cheer as Kandis turns back and starts down the ramp.

Sharper: “Kandis is with her, a rare occasion for two allies truly being together.”

Knots: “You wonder if this is the sleeper team for the tournament. Katya’s actual pick if everything comes together. If Syren stumbles.”

The arena goes dark and strobe lights pulse through the arena as "Through Struggle" hits the speakers. The crowd erupts into raucous boos as the lights dim around the entrance ramp, smoke begins to rise. After the intro kicks in, the lights start flashing as the smoke gets thicker, after a few moments we see Andrew Raynes appear through the smoke, his head shifted towards the ring, focused, a cold stare. He stands there for a few seconds still looking around, devoid of the fans. He starts walking slowly with a cold stare in his eyes.

Phillips: “And finally, he is Andrew Raynes!”

As he continues to look focused, he makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the fans. He walks down towards the ring where he slides in under the bottom rope. He pops up in the middle of the ring and looks around.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes, the final member of the team, and no love lost with anything regarding Katya.”

Knots: “So is his attitude going to help him or hurt him?”

"Mad Hatter" by Melanie Matinez begins to play as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow. Giovanni Aries has on a grey wolf pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, accompanied by Sam, he is Giovanni Aries!”

He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out a cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring. While walking to the ring he takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Giovanni Aries reaches ring side and looks out to the crowd and yells

"FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!!!"

Sharper: “Giovanni Aries may love this match. Two members of the Lizard Kingdom.”

Knots: “We don’t need to start with that even though he saw much of this early on. Let’s just hope he has some fun and everyone has fun tonight!”

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song. Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp , inciting cheers from the crowd. He looks at the crowd.

Phillips: “His partners, first, he is the Devil Himself, Damian Angel!”

In the slight pause between the verse and the chorus, the lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring. He begins his approach to the ring.

Sharper: “Damian Angel hopefully has recovered from the attack on him on Breakdown that cost him the TV Title.”

Knots: “Think that makes him happy? Losing to Manvel?”

Sharper: “I doubt it and that makes him dangerous!”

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

Phillips: “And finally, she is Ruby Amarant!”

Slowly she begins to make her way down to the ring, not paying any mind to the fans even if some of them share their appreciation for the beautiful figure walking past their gaze. She slides into the ring and slowly rises to her feet, a smirk beginning to form on her lips as the lights return to normal. She looks at Damian Angel who watches her. Giovanni Aries does the same.

Sharper: “Ruby Amarant is someone who stands against both Damian and Giovanni!”

Knots: “The fun of the Trios Tournament right here. Rivals going at it. Different groups and alliances on the same team! Pro-Katya and Anti-Katya!”

Damian Angel steps forward, his ribs still taped as Andrew Raynes steps forward for his team. The crowd roars. The bell sounds. Damian and Raynes continue to speak to one another before Damian smacks Raynes. The crowd roars as Raynes turns away. Damian steps forward, yelling at him before Raynes smacks him back. The crowd roars. Damian chuckles a bit. The two then suddenly start to trade blows in the middle of the ring as the crowd erupts in cheers. Damian and Andrew lay it in, going back and forth before Raynes kicks Damian in the ribs. He nails him with another hard right before pushing him into the ropes and then fires him off. Damian bounces off as Raynes leans on the ropes and runs across and clotheslines him down. The crowd boos as Raynes walks around the ring. He turns around and goes to Damian and grabs him, but Damian reaches up and starts to dig his fingers into the eyes of Raynes. Raynes yells out and Damian rakes the eyes. He then chops him. The crowd woos.

Sharper: “Damian Angel going for the eyes.”

Knots: “Andrew Raynes can run off hate. Damian Angel is still the Devil Himself!”

Raynes winces and Damian chops him again. More woos. He then kicks him in the ribs and spins him around into his corner. Damian kicks him in the ribs and then stomps him over and over and over again as Raynes drops down to a seated position. The crowd roars. Damian then turns and tags in Giovanni Aries. Giovanni enters and starts to kick away on Raynes.

Giovanni tags Damian back in. He stomps away.

Damian tags in Giovanni. Giovanni enters and he stomps away too as the crowd cheers.

Giovanni stops and looks at Ruby as Ruby extends her hand. Giovanni looks at her.

Giovanni: “F*ck you Lizard Soldier!”

Giovanni then grabs Andrew Raynes and pulls him up and Raynes pushes away from Giovanni before rolling over and moving into the corner. Kim immediately tags herself in. Kim enters the ring. Giovanni turns to her as Kim bunny hops over. She then shakes her ass as if having a bunny tale.

Kim: “See! Rabbit! All rabbit here! Not scales!”

Giovanni just watches her.

Kim: “Don’t worry…Some of us have other loyalties…and I SOOOOO don’t go for missionary! I prefer the bunking bronco! WOOOOOOOO!”

Kim spins her arm over her head as if riding a steer. Giovanni just keeps watching her, turning her head.

Kim: “And really, missionary…does THAT GIRL right there look like she’d EVER do missionary? Perhaps not to crush someone with her massive ass, but come on! That’s made for doggy style!”

Kandis shrugs as the crowd roars as Kim acts like she’s spanking someone in front of her. Giovanni then looks at her.

Giovanni: “And yet your sister is loyal. DIE LIZARD TRAITOR!”

Giovanni swings and goes to nail Kim as Kim ducks and Giovanni turns around and Kim hits a dropkick, knocking him down. He gets up and Kim grabs the leg and scissors it, going for a kneebar. Kim yells out.

Kim: “FORGIVE ME JULES! I LOVE YOUR IDEAS AND SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR PAMPHLET!”

Giovanni yells out, seething as Kim tries to pull on the leg. Giovanni keeps fighting before rolling over. Kim rolls with him, holding on. Giovanni rolls in the opposite direction. Kim yells out “Weeee!” Giovanni then rolls through again and starts to kick at Kim’s thigh over and over. Kim lets go and rolls over. She winces a bit and dusts herself off as Giovanni starts to get up and Kim runs over and forearms him in the jaw. Kim kicks him in the ribs and then again. Kim then steps up and goes to nail him a few times, but Giovanni steps out and falls down, driving Kim face first into the top turnbuckle. Giovanni then stands up and lifts her up and hits a running spinebuster. He rolls through for the pin.

Kim kicks out. Giovanni rolls off. He looks at Kim as she rolls over. Kim then turns to Jules and smiles. She then lunges and goes for a clothesline. Giovanni ducks and stops. Kim turns around and Giovanni goes for a bicycle kick. Kim sidesteps and spins around. Giovanni and Kim turn and both nail each other, getting all of it with hard rights. Giovanni falls back and into the corner. Giovanni falls into Ruby who promptly tags herself in. She steps in as Kandis goes to tag herself in, but pulls back. Andrew notices this as Kim starts to pull up.

Andrew: “You tag your ass in!”

Kandis: “Not going to help us get to the end.”

Andrew grabs her hand and forces her to tag in. Ruby looks across as Kandis does and the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Andrew Raynes wanting to see where Kandis and Ruby have their loyalty. They’ve been working together.”

Knots: “After Kim and Giovanni had one of the oddest exchanges in wrestling his. Trios Tournament…who the hell knows what we’re going to see!”

Kandis and Ruby look at one another. They step forward and Kandis and Ruby nod before both shrug. They then lunge and lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up. They push back on one another for a moment before suddenly they both let go and run past each other. Kandis jumps up and boots Giovanni in the face and turns and grabs at Damian as Ruby nails Kim with a boot, knocking her down. She turns and nails Andrew with a hard right. Ruby nails him again and Andrew then grabs her the third time. Ruby then jumps up and locks in armlock into a figurefour headlock. The crowd roars. Kandis fights with Damian as Damian holds his arms and Kandis suddenly kisses him outright. Damian pushes away. Kandis then hits a quick savate kick the crowd ohs. Andrew struggles as the referee calls for the break.

Sharper: “Ruby and Kandis working over the other members of their team. Andrew Raynes getting choked by Ruby!”

Knots: “Did Kandis just kiss Satan?!”

Sharper: “I think she did.”

Knots: “Not the worst thing I assume her lips have been on!”

Kandis turns around as Ruby rolls through and backs up. She then backs away as Kandis runs over, feigning attacking as Andrew catches his breath, seething. Kandis then tags him in.

Kandis: “Get your revenge, jackass!”

The crowd roars as Raynes looks at Kandis as Kandis exits to the apron. Ruby looks at Raynes as Raynes enters the ring. Damian and Giovanni both look up at Kandis as Kandis watches them. Kim pulls herself up as Raynes runs at Ruby. Ruby ducks and Raynes stops and turns around and Ruby jumps up and tries to lock in a triangle choke. The crowd roars as Raynes struggles for a moment as Ruby tries to lock it in before Raynes manages to block it and pulls Ruby up and then runs forward and hits a sitout powerbomb. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Ruby showing her abilities here as Giovanni is back in and Raynes is just getting angrier and angrier.”

Knots: “He doesn’t like being seen as a fool, and Ruby played him a bit!”

Sharper: “And now he has to deal with the Wonderland!”

Giovanni turns and runs at Raynes and clotheslines him down. He walks around before spinning around and Raynes gets up and Giovanni kicks him in the ribs. He hooks him up and hoists him up before placing him on the top turnbuckle with a front suplex. Raynes winces and Giovanni turns and climbs up to the top rope.

The crowd ohs and Giovanni hits the mat. He rolls over. Raynes walks around the ring. Giovanni slowly gets up and Raynes runs over and kicks him in the ribs and hits a snap DDT. The crowd ohs and Raynes goes for the pin.

Giovanni gets his shoulder up. Raynes looks down. He then starts to blatantly choke Giovanni.

Raynes pulls away. He then starts to get up. Giovanni rolls over in pain and coughs.

Sharper: “Raynes choking Giovanni Aries.”

Knots: “A lot of angry people in this tournament. Regan, Damian, Raynes, Bree.”

Sharper: “All fighting for those contracts!”

Giovanni turns and rolls over and Raynes kicks him in the chest before he falls over. Raynes turns and tags in Kandis. Raynes points and Kandis rolls her eyes as she then runs over and Giovanni suddenly takes her down by the legs. The crowd erupts in cheers. She then starts to spin her around and around in the Peyote Experience. Kandis tries to reach out and Giovanni continues for a few moments longer before dropping her and Kim enters the ring, pointing to herself.

Kim: “Me next! Me next!”

Giovanni shrugs and then pulls her down by the legs and starts to spin her around. The crowd roars. Kim can be audibly heard saying “Weeee!” over and over as Giovanni spins her around.

Sharper: “Kim seems to enjoy it. I guess she’s not one to get dizzy, but Kandis is down!”

Knots: “What the hell are we watching?!”

Giovanni spins her around and around before dropping her and suddenly Kandis runs into the ropes, bounces off and hits a running hip check to the face. Giovanni falls back and into the corner only for Damian to tag himself in. Damian enters and turns and Kandis looks at him.

Kandis: “Want another taste?”

Damian smirks before kicking her in the ribs and then hooking her head and hitting a snap bulldog. He rolls her over and goes for the pin.

Kim breaks it up. She rolls out of the ring. Damian rolls off and starts to get up as Kandis stirs. Damian waits and Kandis gets up and Damian scoops her up and slams her with a snap sidewalk slam. Damian rolls over and turns and climbs up to the top rope, back to the ring. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Martyr Syndrome! He could be setting up.”

Knots: “Kandis kissed Satan and she’s not going to like it!”

Damian looks back and dives back and goes for the Martyr Syndrome. Kandis rolls toward the corner. Damian lands and steps back, falling to a knee only for Kandis to suddenly get up and nail him with the Starmaker. Damian falls back and Kandis goes for the pin. Giovanni stirs as Kim runs over and nails him as Andrew Raynes steps in. Ruby just looks on.

The crowd roars and boos.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, the team of Andrew Raynes, Kandis and Kimberly Williams!”

Sharper: “Ruby not going to stop what she I guess felt was inevitable! Kim going after Giovanni and with Andrew waiting in the ring.”

Knots: “After earlier, I don’t blame her. She had her moment. Showed Andrew and everyone what she could do, but couldn’t three v. one here!”

Sharper: “And another team moves on in the Trios Tournament! They’ll face Regan Street, Kellen Jeffries and Glory Braddock in the semis later tonight.’

Kandis gets up and smiles as she shakes out her hair and poses. Kim gets up and looks at Giovanni.

Kim: “We’ll talk later!”

Andrew paces around as Giovanni starts to stir on the floor and Damian Angel stirs in the ring. Ruby drops down and starts to back to the back as the crowd looks on and we cut away.

The scene cuts to a shot of the outside of the American Airlines Arena. The camera pans across the front of the building as people walk by. The crowd cheers seeing their home arena.

Sharper: “The 2019 Trios Tournament coming to you live from Miami, Florida.”

Knots: “Already have two teams moving on. Opportunity abound.”

Sharper: “Fans have been looking forward to this night for a long. It’s one of the most interesting night both in terms of the random teams, but opportunity. Three people will have the opportunity to change their careers in some way. Or change someone else’s career.”

Knots: “We’ve seen people add themselves to the Rise to Greatness main event. Selena Frost just used it for justice against Bree Lancaster. We’ve seen Ace Marshall change the Open Invitational for the End of the Year Special. A whole lot has happened with those contracts and three people will get to make their mark with em!”

We cut back to the ring.

Peyton Rice, Chris Cannon & Scarlet Grey vs. Bree Lancaster, Syren & Maddy Steward

Quarterfinals of the Trios Tournament

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

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

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

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a quarterfinals match for the 2019 Trios Tournament. First, on his way to the ring, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd cheers the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. We cut to see Blake Mason watching from a luxury box in the arena.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon is getting one match he wants at Retribution. He will face Blake Mason. Mason watching.”

Knots: “Not in the tournament, but getting to enjoy it at least.”

The arena goes dark before a lone spotlight shines on the entrance. suddenly the opening beats to “All The Days" by Mammoth play throughout the arena as the beautiful Peyton Rice walks out in wrestling gear and jacket. She looks around at the crowd before getting to one knee and making a line across the entrance. She crosses her arms and lowers her head for a moment before standing up and pointing to the ring as the crowd roars.

Phillips: “His partners, first, she is Peyton Rice!”

Peyton starts to walk to the ring, high fiving the fans.

Sharper: “Huge opportunity for that young lady. Peyton Rice could write her career tonight in one fell swoop.”

Knots: “Mentored by a winner of this tournament in Kelcey Wallace. With Chris too. She’s got a hope, but then there’s the third member of the team.”

“Nymphetamine (Deva-Fix)” begins to play, and once the guitars kick in the lights dim just enough for red and white lights to stand out as they sway across the stage. Out from the back saunters Scarlet Grey, a smirk on her lips as she purposely sways her hips, drawing the gaze of every fan in the arena as they are entranced by the mere sight of her walking down the ramp. Notably, she’s wearing gear that covers her more than usual.

Phillips: “And finally, she is Scarlet Grey!”

She slowly walks up the steps before stepping between the top and second ropes, taking her sweet time with it. Once she's in the ring she waits in the corner and looks at Chris and winks.

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey already has said as much that she’ll be looking to manipulate Chris and hopefully Peyton.”

Knots: “She’s not exactly subtle.”

Sharper: “Not at all. And add that Syren’s on the other team, there’s a lot to figure out here.”

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

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, she is the SCW World Champion, Syren!”

The crowd boos some more as she heads to the ring.

Sharper: “Syren wants this win more than anything and she may be the one that Katya pins her hopes on.”

Knots: “After this Wednesday, Katya is no longer in power. They want guarantees. Whether to protect Syren or to protect Katya! I get it. But I just hope it blows up in their faces!”

“That Girl’s a Genius” blasts through the arena and the camera pans a wide shot and to show the crowd’s pop for the youngest of the Steward clan. The camera changes as it switches to the stage entrance where Madison walks out dress in her dark black ring attire and wearing a steampunk white rabbit mask. She stops on the stage and feeds off the crowds energy that gets her pumped.

Phillips: “Next, her partners, first, she is the Dynamite Kid, Madison Steward!”

Maddy then takes off her mask, heading to the ring.

Sharper: “Maddy Steward already being convinced by Kandis at Breakdown. Whether it worked. She may just want to do it for herself. Every year, we talk about it being her breakout year. Could this be the one?”

Knots: “Trios Tournament would help!”

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

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

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

Phillips: “Finally, accompanied by Scott Burnside, she is Bree Lancaster!”

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott hands her the belt before going up. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. She enters the ring and pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her black shimmery gear. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott is on the outside and pulls her robe off the ropes as her music fades out. Bree turns to Syren and Maddy.

Sharper: “This is where it gets interesting.”

Knots: “Katya gave Bree an option. She has to decide tonight. Extra motivation. But on top of that, Syren and Bree have never seen eye to eye! Come on! Take each other out! I’ll grab popcorn!”

Chris Cannon starts the match for his team as Syren and Bree look at one another, before Bree exits. Chris and Syren look at one another as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “And this is a hell of a start.”

Knots: “How much hatred can you have?”

The bell sounds and Chris moves in toward Syren. Syren ducks a clothesline attempt. She backs away and Chris turns and goes for another clothesline, but Syren ducks. She nails him with a forearm shot. Chris then turns and follows after and swings again. Syren ducks and spins around and kicks him in the ribs. Chris takes a deep breath as Syren then goads him in. Chris then turns and lunges and goes for another clothesline. Chris then just chuckles before Syren turns and tells her to come in. Chris then looks at Peyton Rice who jumping up and down, wanting to enter. Chris turns to her and Peyton nods. Chris then tags her in. The crowd roars as Peyton enters. Syren just scoffs, shaking her head.

Sharper: “A bit of a change in tactics as Syren is in Chris’ head to start here.”

Knots: “And from Chris to the least experienced in that ring in Peyton Rice!”

Peyton enters as Syren keeps watching. Peyton smiles as Chris exits. Syren tells her to come at her and Peyton lunges and Syren spins out of the way and Peyton however turns and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and Syren goes for a clothesline, but Peyton ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a flying headscissors. The crowd roars. Syren rolls through. She gets up and Peyton kicks her in the ribs and whips her into the corner. Peyton runs after and Syren gets an elbow up. Peyton stumbles back and Syren runs out, but Peyton hits a drop toe hold. The crowd cheers. Peyton then cartwheels over Syren and Syren rolls over and Peyton then kisses her hand and swings it around, mocking Syren’s old entrance. Syren looks at her and lunges at her, but Peyton drop toe holds her into the ring ropes. Chris goes to kick at Syren, but Scarlet grabs his arm and leans in. Peyton just looks at them before turning and slingshotting over the top rope and landing with an elbow to the back of Syren’s head. Syren rolls over as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “And Peyton looks pretty damn good! Just going after the World Champion!”

Knots: “I guess she is ready and definitely more than just pretty, as Mr. D said.”

Sharper: “Syren is beside herself.”

Syren rolls over and Peyton turns and rolls back into the ring. Syren crawls over as Peyton gets up and looks around as the crowd cheers her. She smiles before Syren manages to reach up and Bree tags herself in. She enters as Peyton turns to go after Syren, missing the tag, but Bree nails her in the back with a hard clubbing blow and then another. The crowd boos as Peyton moves over and falls into the neutral corner. Bree moves in and forearms her in the jaw and then again. She leans in with her knees, choking her as the crowd boos.

Bree steps back as Peyton drops down to a seated position.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster coming in and she has a big decision tonight too.”

Knots: “US Title or Tag Titles. Obviously looking to see if she wins the Trios Tournament.”

Sharper: “Not just that, Dark Fantasy would love for her to be on board and motivated to win since Syren is on their team.”

Peyton grabs at the ropes and Bree walks back in and kicks her in the ribs. She pulls her out and hits a vertical suplex. Bree turns and goes for the pin.

Peyton kicks out. She turns and reaches out as Bree grabs at her and pulls her up and knees her in the ribs. She then whips her into the opposite neutral corner. Bree moves in and kicks her in the ribs. She whips her across. Bree runs after and Peyton jumps up and floats over. She rolls through. Bree stops and turns around and runs at Peyton who jumps up and hits a jumping back elbow. The crowd roars. Peyton turns and gets up and Bree turns around and goes to her only for Peyton to hip toss her into the Rice-a-Roni. She goes for the pin.

Bree kicks out. Peyton turns and tags in in Scarlet. Peyton smiles as Scarlet smirks at her. She enters as Bree slowly starts to get up and Scarlet forearms her in the jaw. Bree falls over. Scarlet then steps over her and crossface punches her in the jaw. Bree falls over. Scarlet steps forward.

Sharper: “Scarlet with a hard shot. Methodical in her approach.”

Knots: “Not in there with Syren though. I’m curious. We’ve had two people in Katya’s camp against each other and they’ve not really thrown down. Will Scarlet and Syren?”

Bree starts to get up and Scarlet kicks her in the ribs and turns and whips her into the ropes. Bree bounces off and Scarlet runs forward and hits a Lou Thesz Press into a takedown. She leans forward, pressing her chest into Bree’s face for the pin.

Bree kicks out. She rolls over. Both get up and Scarlet goes for a hard right, but Bree blocks it and hits a jawbreaker. Bree falls back and reaches out as Maddy tags herself in. She springboards to the top rope as Scarlet turns back and Maddy hits a crossbody into a pin.

Scarlet kicks out. She rolls over and Maddy gets up and she forearms her in the jaw and then snapmares her over. Maddy runs into the ropes and bounces off and hits a diving crossbody into Scarlet, driving her back down.

Scarlet kicks out again.

Sharper: “A couple of hard crossbodies. Two nearfalls. Maddy coming in strong.”

Knots: “The Dynamic Kid looking blow some things up!”

Maddy rolls off and turns and grabs Scarlet. She kicks her in the ribs and runs her into the corner. She runs after and jumps up and hits a monkey flip. Scarlet hits the mat.

Scarlet pulls Maddy up and scoops her up and slams her down, before hitting a senton backsplash. She turns and goes for the pin.

Maddy kicks out. Scarlet rolls off. She then turns and looks at Maddy before turning and walking to Chris. She smiles as she pulls a hairband off her wrist and pulls on her hair, pulling it back into a ponytail. She then looks at Chris and smirks before pulling down her tights, revealing underneath a pair of white tights with gold trim. She pulls them down before kicking her actual tights off. The crowd looks on, many stunned, not for Scarlet stripping, but for “Perfection” on the back.

Sharper: “Oh my god…”

Knots: “Is that…she’s wearing something like Kelcey Wallace would have! Not the top, but the hair pulled back, the tights…”

Sharper: “Scarlet Grey said she’d tried to convince Chris.”

Scarlet turns around and shows the tights. Chris just looks at her, clearly annoyed. Peyton is trying to keep him focused. Scarlet turns around.

Scarlet: “Come on…do it Kelcey…Wouldn’t you? It would be PERFECT!”

Scarlet smirks as she leans in. Syren looks on as Maddy then runs over and nails Scarlet from behind. She falls into Chris. Scarlet tags in Chris falling forward. Chris then turns and steps through and Maddy backs up. Peyton just looks at Scarlet as she turns to Chris and Chris goes for a hard right on Maddy.

Chris kicks out. Maddy falls forward and into the corner where Syren tags herself in. She enters and Chris gets up. Syren kicks him in the ribs.

Sharper: “Chris trying to refocus. Had some good offense, but now Syren is in.”

Knots: “And if the start of this match was any indication, Chris could be in a lot of trouble!”

Sharper: “Scarlet continuing to stand there. Peyton Rice trying to keep a positive mindset with Scarlet essentially mimicking her mentor!”

Knots: “And is this to get in Chris’ head or to help Scarlet win? Are Scarlet and Syren doing separate things here?!”

We cut to see Scarlet standing and leaning on the corner. Chris looks over and Scarlet blows him a kiss. Syren kicks him in the ribs and then again. She steps up onto the middle rope and nails him with a couple of forearm shots, but Chris shoves her back. The crowd roars. Syren rolls through and gets up and Chris steps out. Syren runs at him and Chris gets an elbow up again. Syren stumbles back and runs back at him, but Chris launches her into the air and she drops to the mat with a flapjack. The crowd roars.

Bree breaks it up as does Maddy. Chris exits the ring and Peyton turns and tags him back in as Chris glares at Scarlet. Scarlet just waves as Syren rolls over. She reaches out for the ropes. Chris grabs her and lifts her up and knees her in the ribs and then whips her into the corner. Chris runs after, but Syren gets both boots up and Chris staggers back. Syren pulls herself onto the middle turnbuckle and Chris turns around only for Syren to dive off with a tornado DDT, spiking him into the mat. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “And spiked him. Bree wants in. Maddy too!”

Knots: “But it’s Syren. She’s gotta be out in front here! And does she even trust them?”

Sharper: “You know that question!”

Knots: “Bree’s there. I sure as hell wouldn’t!”

Syren rolls over and slowly starts to stir. She winces a bit and grabs at the ropes. Chris rolls over too and starts to get up and turns around and Syren kicks him in the ribs. She goes for the Total Makeover, but Chris shoves her off. Syren bounces off and Chris lifts her up and hits a back drop. He falls back and immediately Scarlet tags herself in before Peyton can.

Peyton fights with her, causing the referee to see Syren covering Scarlet.

Peyton hits a kick on Maddy, knocking her back and she enters, but too late. The crowd boos as Syren rolls out of the ring. Maddy rolls out too as Bree winces on the floor. Blake looks on, disappointed.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Syren, Bree Lancaster and Madison Steward!”

Sharper: “Chaos to the benefit of Syren, Bree and Madison.”

Knots: “Scarlet overplayed her hand and got caught. Even trying to help Chris, but Chris couldn’t do it all and Peyton showing some inexperience.”

Sharper: “And because of that, Syren pins Scarlet and they move on!”

The crowd boos as Syren holds her arm up. She walks around as Scott heads over to Bree. Peyton heads over to Chris, helping him up as the boos continue and we cut away.

Backstage we see Lexy Chapel standing with Ravyn Taylor, the SCW Adrenaline Championship outside of her locker room.

Lexy: “Bestest backstage interviewer right here and I’m with the indescribably intelligent, Adrenaline Champion, Ravyn Taylor and this Wednesday, you face the challenge of the ridiculously enraged Hellcat, Regan Street…in an Empty Arena Match which was your idea.”

Ravyn: “It was.”

Lexy: “What led you to that?”

Ravyn: “Given that Regan Street does what most Streets do, manipulate until they get whatever they keep yelling about, the fact that Regan did not just accept the rematch she was already gifted, it irked me. More importantly, she added an unnecessary stipulation which shows her pettiness. It’s not Dark Fantasy’s fault that she horribly fell short in defending the honour of her family. Alas, she wants to cost Syren the title. This is where the Empty Arena Match came in…”

Ravyn smiles.

Ravyn: “Taking a page from another rage-induced match for Street lore, against one Alex Desoubrais, the Canadian Heartbreak Kid, I figured why not take a note. That match was before Retribution a few years ago and it was free from interference. Hard for anyone…and I mean anyone on either side, to interfere, which I imagine was her plan, without too many people in the building. This allows better control of the environment. She wants a clean fight, I will give her one. And we can do it for just us. Before the doors open at Breakdown. Before the roster arrives and so when I defeat you and issue you a stunning loss, presumably your third in short order if we include tonight…you can blubber backstage and everyone can see you for the disappointment you’ve become.”

Ravyn smiles.

Ravyn: “I still have plans for the Adrenaline Championship. Quoth the Ravyn…Nevermore!”

The crowd boos as Ravyn looks at the camera and smirks as the scene cuts away.

Dawn Lohan, Sam Raine & Aaron Blackbourne vs. Konrad Raab, Goddard & Marie Jones

Quarterfinals of the Trios Tournament

A spotlight shines down at the top of the entrance ramp as “Haunted” by Taylor Swift plays. 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 give a mixed reaction loudly.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a quarterfinals match in the 2019 Trios Tournament. First, on her way to the ring, she is the Phoenix, Marie Jones!”

Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring.

Sharper: “Marie Jones is one to watch. Coming off a big night on Wednesday. Affirming her loyalty to Katya too. But a lot going on in her personal life.”

Knots: “And she wasn’t willing to stay home. Katya even suggesting it to her we’ve been told and our condolences go to Marie Jones and her family. But she didn’t want to leave the best run of her career.”

“Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system. Konrad Raab comes out through the curtain. He looks out at the crowd before doing a bit of shadow boxing before starting to the head to the ring. He high-fives fans on his way.

Phillips: “Her partner, he is the Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

Sharper: “Konrad Raab has been looking forward to this event for weeks.”

Knots: “Loves the tournament. Think he’ll get along with his partner?”

Sharper: “I don’t know.”

The arena is plunged into total darkness causing the crowd to buzz, the questions are answered when the tron above the stage illuminates while the sound of wind blowing over the P.A System. The picture on the screen is that of the desert sand, but it’s not long before we hear the rattling sound of a curled-up snake... The footage starts to pan upwards to reveal more of the desert, but the focus is on the snake slithering towards the screen, the Rattlesnake moves closer and closer and then wastes no time at all before striking at the screen...

Then as if on cue Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut you Down” hits over the P. A System, while the music begins to build upwards with the guitar strumming away a smoke like fog begins to haze its way onto the stage as the lights shift in colour to a fiery amber… With it a shadowy figure begins to casually walk out among the Smokey haze to reveal Goddard himself dressed in his leather trench coat, Stetson hat and bandanna over his face...

Dishevelled voice: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Ya’ll heard the whispers, ya’ll listened to the tales but allow us to inform ya that “The Legend is Very Real...” Hailing from the wastelands of Texas, better known as Tombstone… he weighs in tonight at one-hundred and ninety-seven pounds... He is “THE HELLBILLY” … JOHN GODDARD!!”

The crowd’s reaction is incredibly mixed as he stands on the stage looking out from under his hat, he then removes the bandanna and cracks a smile before nodding and walking down to the ring with a confidence of one like himself. Fans reach out to touch him, but he pays them no mind if the manage to do just that. After rolling into the ring he rises to one knee and looks out to the crowd again before pulling himself up using the ropes before walking over to a corner and removing his jacket before standing on the second corner and nodding one more time.

Sharper: “Now this could be interesting. Goddard rounding out this team. And with Konrad, they are easily the oldest team in the roster. Most experienced too.”

Knots: “But can they work together? That’s the key question every step of the way!”

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. The tune of “The Nexus” by Amaranthe begins as a distorted speech that can barely be made out plays amidst the beat, but it’s not long before the song kicks into full gear, and when it does red and white lights begin pulsing on the stage as we see that smoke has begun to engulf it. When the lyrics kick in, the Tron comes to life with clips of Aaron Blackbourne in action, both as himself and as his various demon incarnations. When the song hits the chorus, pyro suddenly goes off on the stage in sync with the creative soul himself suddenly shooting up through the smoke and standing tall on the stage, arms raised and outstretched as the fans erupt into cheers.

Phillips: “And their opponents, first, he is Aaron Blackbourne!”

The lights start to come back on, albeit dimmed, as Blackbourne begins making his way down to the ring, happily accepting high fives from the fans with a smile.

Sharper: “Aaron Blackbourne is another person downplayed by Katya. But he has already a big opportunity. He has an Adrenaline Championship shot waiting for him.”

Knots: “Just against who? We’ll find out this Wednesday.”

Sharper: “But more importantly, he could be looking to add more. After a rough end to 2018, he’s looking to make 2019 his year and he’s off to a solid start!”

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

“Raining on your parade.”

As the crowd start to react, the sounds of Firefly's “Unbreakable” starts to play through the arena. The crowd just further erupts in to cheers as the small silhouette of Samantha makes her way on to the stage, but she isn’t alone. There is another silhouette behind her clapping his heads.

"Where are the people that accuse me? The ones who beat me down and bruise me...
They hide just out of sight, Can't face me in the light, They'll return but I'll be stronger..."

The song’s intro gives way to the chorus and as the song takes a harder edge the flashes of lighting become more violent. On the big screen the fans are treated to the iconic view of Sam as she stands in an empty as it starts to rain on her. She just looks up at the sky allowing the rain drops to pelt her face while lifting her arms up towards the sky. In the meantime, Sam along with the man that can now be identified as Woody Hoyt start to make their way down to the ring.

Philips: “Next, his partner, accompanied to the ring by Woody Hoyt, she is Samantha Raine!”

Before they start actually making their way down to the ring, Sam raises both of her hands up to her lips and kisses them, bending over towards the fans she acts like she is blowing kisses to everyone in attendance.

Sharper: “Sam Raine could use this night to give herself the match she wants. She’s a veteran, but one who hasn’t found the success she’s wanted in SCW.”

Knots: “Great opportunity to turn it all around. It’s all about finding the motivation. The desire to win this here. Many people would love the opportunity to be in the tournament. Only sixteen do and only three win!”

The music changes as "Confident" by Demi Lovato echoes from the loud speaker. Dawn Lohan pushes her way through the curtain. She stands in front of the entrance way, she takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the crowd. As the music is coursing through the arena she knows she can't delay the inevitable. She slowly makes her down to the ring, all business.

Phillips: “Finally, her partner, she is Dawn Lohan!”

She makes her way to the ring steps. When she reaches the top of the steps, she walks along the apron. Grabbing the top rope she pulls back, using the momentum she propels herself forward over the top rope into the ring. She immediately springs up. She walks to the turnbuckle, stands on the middle turnbuckle soaking in the atmosphere. She hops off the turnbuckle and remains in the corner until the match gets underway.

Knots: “She’s already looking to start this off. So here we go. She may be full of piss and vinegar tonight!”

Dawn Lohan asks to start the match for her team. We see her enter as Marie Jones does the honours. Konrad and Goddard both watch her as the crowd looks on. The bell sounds.

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, on her way to the ring, she is Kimberly Williams!”

Phillips: “Her partner, first, she is Kandis!”

Some of the males in the crowd cheer as Kandis turns back and starts down the ramp.

Sharper: “A lot has changed. Andrew Raynes and Regan Street at one point were allies. I doubt now.”

Knots: “Not with the contracts on the line. Not when both can get everything they want and more. Add Kandis and Kim Williams…Regan has a lot of targets. Glory and Kellen should look to take advantage that!”

Knots: “Like a caged animal and with Andrew Raynes in there, someone I’m sure she’s not a fan of right now.”

???: “What are you doing?”

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

Katya: “Did you have to pause it?”

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

Katya: “It was fine last time…”

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

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

Mr. D grabs whatever he dropped and looks up.

Mr. D: “Alright…”

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

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

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

We open up back inside the arena.

Sharper: “Just imagine, that eight months ago that was filmed.”

Knots: “Very different now.”

Syren, Bree Lancaster & Maddy Steward vs. Konrad Raab, Goddard & Marie Jones

Semifinals of the Trios Tournament

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is a semifinals match in the 2019 Trios Tournament. First, on her way to the ring, she is the Phoenix, Marie Jones!”

Marie begins to make her way down towards the ring. “Cold as Ice” by M.O.P plays over the sound system. Konrad Raab comes out through the curtain. He looks out at the crowd before doing a bit of shadow boxing before starting to the head to the ring. He high-fives fans on his way.

Phillips: “Her partner, he is the Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

“God’s Gonna Cut you Down” hits over the P. A System, while the music begins to build upwards with the guitar strumming away a smoke like fog begins to haze its way onto the stage as the lights shift in colour to a fiery amber. With it a shadowy figure begins to casually walk out among the Smokey haze to reveal Goddard himself dressed in his leather trench coat, Stetson hat and bandanna over his face...

Phillips: “And finally, the Hellbilly, John Goddard!”

The crowd’s reaction is incredibly mixed as he stands on the stage looking out from under his hat, he then removes the bandanna and cracks a smile before nodding and walking down to the ring with a confidence of one like himself. After rolling into the ring he rises to one knee and looks out to the crowd again before pulling himself up using the ropes before walking over to a corner and removing his jacket before standing on the second corner and nodding one more time.

Sharper: “Konrad, Goddard and Marie, maybe the underdogs of the tournament, one win away from the finals.”

Knots: “Yeah, and Marie now just needs to knock off Syren and that could have some interesting ripples.”

Sharper: “Hoping for it?”

Knots: “Hell yes!”

Phillips: “Their opponents, first, she is the SCW World Champion, Syren!”

The crowd boos some more as she heads to the ring. “That Girl’s a Genius” blasts through the arena and the camera pans a wide shot and to show the crowd’s pop for the youngest of the Steward clan. The camera changes as it switches to the stage entrance where Madison walks out dress in her dark black ring attire and wearing a steampunk white rabbit mask. She stops on the stage and feeds off the crowds energy that gets her pumped.

Phillips: “Next, her partners, first, she is the Dynamite Kid, Madison Steward!”

Maddy then takes off her mask, heading to the ring. The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

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

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

Phillips: “Finally, accompanied by Scott Burnside, she is Bree Lancaster!”

The chorus continues as Bree and Scott make their way down the ramp, Bree holding her arms out all the way to the ring. She stops at the steps and Scott hands her the belt before going up. Bree follows and Scott holds the ropes open for her to step through. She enters the ring and pulls on the silver belt holding her robe closed. The robe opens, revealing her black shimmery gear. Bree pulls the robe off and tosses it aside, where it lands over the top rope. She then walks a circle in the ring showing off, before going to the corner. Scott is on the outside and pulls her robe off the ropes as her music fades out. Bree turns to Syren and Maddy.

Sharper: “Bree, Syren and Maddy worked well in the quarterfinals. They all seem to be on the same team in terms of the end goal.”

Knots: “Come on. I want it to splinter. Come on! Egos and all that! Come on!”

Bree Lancaster starts for her team as we see Goddard on the other side. Marie and Syren watch one another and Syren nods to Marie as Marie looks down. Konrad notices this as Goddard as Bree circle the ring. Bree then lunges and goes to drop down and around Goddard, but Goddard, with his experience, catches her and throws her back. Bree rolls through. She gets back up to her feet and runs at him, and Goddard boots her in the face. The crowd cheers. Bree hits the mat and turns. She starts to get up and Goddard nails her with a hard shot to the ribs and pushes her into the ropes before firing her off. Bree bounces off and Goddard lifts her up over his head and turns, press slamming her down. The crowd roars as Bree rolls over, moving back into the ropes.

Sharper: “Bree may want to try something else. Goddard using his power and experience!”

Knots: “And notice that she didn’t move back to the corner. Didn’t want the tag.”

Bree starts to get up and Goddard watches her. Bree then looks around before lunging at Goddard and going for the leg. She tries to lift his leg up, but Goddard blocks it and clubs her in the back. He then gutwrenches her. The crowd cheers as he suplexes her over. He goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Syren and Bree stunning working together here.”

Knots: “Again, they both want what is at the end of the rainbow.”

Sharper: “Very true, but given we’ve seen more tension between other teams, you know as I do, I’m stunned by this.”

Knots: “I am too. I figured at this point, one of them would’ve gotten someone else to take the other out. Lord knows they can’t do anything themselves!”

Syren starts to get up and Konrad runs into the ropes, bounces off and clotheslines her down.

Sharper: “And Konrad comes out strong as you know he’s been one of the first to stand against Katya!”

Knots: “How’s he going to fix that with Marie in his corner?”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but again, she has plenty desire to walk away a winner tonight!”

Konrad turns and Syren gets up and Konrad scoops her up and slams her down. Syren winces and Konrad moves to the corner. He climbs up to the middle turnbuckle.

Sharper: “There’s that. Bree stopped by Marie. First action for Marie in the second round here!”

Knots: “And breaking it up. So she’s not ready to just go down.”

Bree looks up and grabs Konrad. She drags him up and forearms him in the jaw. She then wrenches the arm. Konrad winces and Bree kicks him in the left thigh and then again.

Syren pulls her off. Marie rolls over and looks at her. Marie and Syren share a look.

He gets up and Syren runs over and hits a running bulldog from behind. She rolls him over for the pin.

Goddard kicks out. Syren rolls off. She turns and looks up as Konrad had started to enter.

Sharper: “Goddard still fighting here as Syren and Maddy working together.”

Knots: “Maddy seemed to get it.”

Sharper: “Again, Maddy and Syren working together after Maddy clearly was on the side of Sasha. A lot of odd alliances out of necessity in this tournament.”

Goddard stirs as Syren gets up. Goddard turns around and Syren nails him with a forearm and then another. She grabs him and drags him into the corner, but Goddard suddenly spins her around and into the corner. He nails a hard right and then another and another.

Syren tells her to let go and Marie just shakes her head no.

Marie: “Just doing what I need to win!”

Sharper: “Look at this! Syren was going to use a chair!”

Knots: “And Marie stopping her and listen! Ha!”

Sharper: “Just the same refrain Syren gave her about using the belt two weeks agos!”

The official walks over and yells at Syren to drop the chair. She does, and Goddard walks over to Syren and grabs her, but Bree suddenly slides into the ring and Syren reaches up and rakes his eyes and Goddard turns around only to walk into the Classifier from Bree.

The crowd boos. Syren rolls off and Bree turns to her. Syren rolls out of the ring and Syren and Bree look at one another.

Phillips: “Here are your winner via pinfall, Syren, Bree Lancaster and Maddy Steward!”

Sharper: “Syren pins Goddard, giving him his first pinfall loss in SCW, but not just that, they’re in the finals!”

Knots: “Syren, Bree and Maddy are in the finals. Bree and Syren using all sorts of distractions. And they’ve not killed each other yet! I have to say I’m disappointed!”

Sharper: “Tells you how much these three want those contracts, willing to put aside their differences and there are many. But now they need to get through to face Regan Street, Kellen Jeffries and Glory Braddock-“

Goddard stirs as Konrad falls back. Marie rolls over. Maddy stirs and just then, we cut backstage.

Backstage we see Kellen Jeffries fighting off Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant as both kick at him in the ribs. Scarlet then grabs him and Ruby does too, sending him into a wall. Glory Braddock can be seen tussling with Kandis who kicks her in the ribs and then again before Autumn hits the Pink Whisper on the floor. The crowd ohs and Regan is seen fighting off Alexander Crowe and then nailing CHBK with a hard right before we hear a crack from Ravyn Taylor coming up from behind, nailing Regan right between the shoulder blades with a piece of piping. Regan just collapses. The crowd ohs and Katya then comes into view as we see security starting to come in as Scarlet and Ruby get a few more shots in. Amber Sloane looks on in horror.

Sharper: “God damn it! They’re attacking Regan, Kellen and Glory backstage!”

Knots: “This is why they wanted them coming out next. They were supposed to come out and we were supposed to get right to the finals, but an attack, an assault!”

Sharper: “Come on!”

Katya: “Hey! Hey! Get them to the ring. We need the match to start.”

Regan grimaces and rolls over, yelling through her teeth.

Regan: “I’ll enjoy taking your head off too-“

Ravyn stomps her in the back before turning to her.

Ravyn: “A lot of mountain for you to climb in a short period of time Regan…”

We then see Kennedy Street, Donovan Kayl and Chris Cannon running into view. Security turns and stops them.

Katya: “Get the referee in the ring to start the main event. We need to start. They can’t make it out there, then they forfeit! And all of you…get to my office. No more attacks!”

Katya looks around and smirks a bit, as she turns from the camera.

Sharper: “Give me a break-“

Kennedy: “You want to fight Katya. Don’t start bullshitting us! Come on1”

Katya: “Get them out of here too.”

Regan starts to slowly get up as Kellen and Glory stir. The camera turns to show the tunnel right near the attack scene as we cut to the ring as Marie turns to the ring. Syren smirks as she leans in the corner. Bree looks at them before Syren looks at her. Marie starts to leave as Konrad looks back at the ring. He then turns and runs at the ring, but Syren runs over and jumps up and dropkicks him off. He falls back as Goddard then walks over and helps him from falling back. Goddard says something to him. Konrad turns and looks at the ring. He starts to head back. Goddard tells him no. Konrad and Goddard share a look at one another, one not entirely friendly before they back away. Syren turns and snaps at the back as Aaron Demitra reluctantly walks down from the back, swapping out from the last match referee.

Sharper: “Konrad not happy about this. Goddard stopping him. Presumably because of numbers.”

Knots: “Security is right at the entrance, so everyone backstage clearly blocked.”

Sharper: “And regardless, Regan, Kellen and Glory need to make it out here. Glory could have a concussion…Regan hit with that pipe. Kellen could be bruised too…”

We cut to the back to see a trainer checking on Glory as she stirs. Glory winces as officials check on him. Regan starts to crawl forward as Kellen pushes himself up and staggers forward.

Kellen: “I’m fine…I’m fine.”

Regan grimaces as Mikaela checks on Regan and we see Kennedy heading over to Regan as officials can be heard talking to Katya. Kennedy gets up and goes over to her.

Kennedy: “This is the game you want to play-“

Katya turns.

Katya: “Welcome to karma. All of Regan’s actions…I understand Kellen has a sordid past. And well you…you fit right in.”

Kennedy: “Do you want a war?”

Katya: “Better stop Kellen then…or else do you want to cost Regan everything she wants after you two were so friendly for the first time ever last week…”

Kennedy smirks.

Kennedy: “You better hope she doesn’t get to her feet.”

Katya: “Better hope Kellen lasts long enough then.”

Kennedy: “Tonight your hopes are going to die!”

Katya just turns and walks off as we cut to the ring. The bell sounds. Demitra looks back as Syren steps over and Bree joins her.

Syren: “Count, damn it!”

Bree: “Come on! You can count that high!”

Syren backs off as Demitra sighs and turns and counts.

We then see Kellen Jeffries staggering out from the back, holding his arm. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Demitra pressured into counting. We’ve seen him do the right thing in the past-“

Knots: “What’s he going to do? He’s got Bree and Syren down his neck and on top of that, if they can’t go this delay is for nothing.”

Sharper: “But Kellen Jeffries. He’s on his way!”

Knots: “I know you want to be the hero, but why didn’t you stay back there.”

Sharper: “He’s trying to avoid them just getting counted out or this being thrown out. The bell has sounded anyways. So the match has effectively started!”

Maddy looks on, clearly not sure of what to do. She looks at the crowd as a faint “Maddy!” chant begins as Kellen starts to make his way to the ring. (4)

He then rolls in and Syren and Bree immediately run over and start to stomp away on him. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “And like vultures. Bree and Syren working together…Again, I can’t believe that. But that’s the strength of Trios.”

Knots: “Both are going to have to gargle whiskey just to get the taste of this out of their months, but I only hope that this blows up in their faces, somehow!”

Kellen covers up as the official steps in and tells them to get away. Maddy then pulls Syren away. Syren turns and goes to nail her. Maddy backs up and looks at her.

Maddy: “Hey! You want to be disqualified. You want to take every short-cut and do this.”

Syren: “Get the hell out of my way, Madison. I’m handing you relevancy! Something Sasha could NEVER give you!”

Maddy just looks at Syren as Bree grabs Kellen to pull him up, and suddenly Kellen nails her in the ribs and goes for an inside cradle.

Syren turns and dives onto it. Maddy looks at her and backs up to the corner. The referee tells Syren to get out as Kellen rolls over and moves toward the ropes. Bree stirs and winces a bit as Syren exits to the apron too. Bree starts to get up and Kellen pulls himself up and turns and nails Bree with a hard right. She staggers back. Kellen then nails her again. He then goes for a kick and tries for the Game Misconduct, but Bree blocks it and rolls him up in a school boy.

Kellen kicks out. Bree rolls over and reaches out and Syren tags in. Syren enters and runs over and hits a dropkick to the jaw of Kellen. He rolls over. He starts to stir and Syren moves after and stomps him in the chest and then again and again.

Sharper: “Kellen just can’t do this alone. The attack. Now three on one!”

Knots: “He’s fighting. That’s something. He’s showing heart. But may not be much longer-“

Just then, we see Glory Braddock step out from the back. She starts to head to the ring as the crowd roars. Glory grits her teeth and heads to the ring. Syren watches her and smirks. Glory gets to the corner and pulls herself up and immediately Syren nails her with a forearm shot, knocking her down. Syren turns around and Kellen steps out and hits a Lou Thesz Press. The crowd ohs and Kellen rolls over. He reaches out as Syren stirs and starts to get up. She gets up first as Kellen reaches over and Glory gets back up and reaches in. Kellen tags her in. The crowd roars and Glory enters and tackles Syren down with a double leg takedown. She nails her with a couple of shots before Bree enters. She runs across and Glory gets up and ducks a clothesline. Bree stops and turns and Glory jumps up and locks in the Shekinah Glory! The crowd roars as Glory tries to pull on it as Bree reaches around. Syren stirs as Maddy looks on. Syren grabs at the ropes as Bree starts to fade and Glory pulls on the head and arm of Bree!

Sharper: “Glory has the Shekinah Glory on Bree Lancaster!”

Knots: “Desperation abound and that’s great, but she’s not the legal woman!”

Sharper: “But takes someone out if Bree fades! Makes it at least a tag match for now as Regan Street, we’re told is being forced to stay backstage as she is medically cleared to compete!”

Bree starts to fade and Syren then breaks it up. Glory rolls off and rolls over. The crowd boos. Bree rolls to the apron. Syren then gets up and stomps Glory in the face and then again and again before grabbing her and dragging her up. She runs her into the corner. She spins around and nails Kellen with a boot, knocking him off as he recovers. He falls to the barricade. Syren turns around as the crowd boos and she grabs Glory. Glory however spins her into the corner and nails her with a hard right and then another before pulling her out. She goes to whip her into the ropes. Syren bounces off and Glory goes for a clothesline. Syren ducks. Both run into the ropes, bounce off and both drill each other with hard clotheslines. Both are down in the ring as the crowd roars. Maddy looks around as she then extends her hand.

Sharper: “Syren and Glory Braddock knock each other down!”

Knots: “Maddy’s the only one up. And she’s at least doing the respect of wrestling properly. Not jumping into the attack. She’s trying to be fair and respectful! When a Steward is your metric for that, you know you’re warped!”

Syren and Glory stir before the crowd erupts in cheers as we see Regan Street walking to the ring. She holds her upper back as she storms to the ring, heading down. She can be seen talking up a storm as she seethes, gritting her teeth and heads down to the ring.

Sharper: “Oh my! Here comes on the Hellcat!”

She then reaches the corner and pulls herself up, clearly hiding the pain her body is in as she extends her arm. Glory and Syren both move toward each other’s corner. Bree starts to get up on the floor by Regan’s corner and Regan spins around the ringpost and hits a running kick to Bree in the back of the head. The crowd cheers. She steps back and grabs the tag rope. Glory gets up and sees her and dives, tagging her in. She enters as Syren tags in Maddy. The crowd roars as Maddy enters and runs at Regan. Regan attempts a clothesline. Maddy ducks and bounces off the other side and jumps up for a flying headscissors. Regan spins her off and Maddy lands on her feet before Regan clotheslines her down. She does a backflip. Syren then starts to get up and Regan runs at her and spears her in the corner. Syren falls in the corner to a seated position and Regan looks at her as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Regan has Syren! She has her in the corner!”

Knots: “And Ravyn cracked her with the pipe earlier. Regan running off adrenaline and now can have Syren give Ravyn a message back!”

Regan then rears back and nails Syren with a shot after shot as the crowd roars. Syren covers up as Regan keeps pounding on Syren. The referee moves in and counts.

Regan snaps out of it as Syren looks on groggily and Regan steps back. The camera goes to a wide shot to show Maddy just watching as she shrugs and then runs to the ropes, jumps to the middle rope and dives back and hits a back kick to the jaw. Regan falls back and the crowd ohs. Maddy dives onto her and rolls her up, hooking both legs.

Regan shoots her shoulder up and rolls over as the crowd roars. Maddy rolls over. She turns and starts to get up as Regan rolls over. Maddy then walks over and clubs her in the back. Regan grimaces in pain. Maddy clubs her again and again. She then pulls her back and into a DDT. The crowd roars. Bree starts to get up as Kellen and Glory start to move around. Kellen heads around the ring and grabs Syren and pulls her out of the ring. The crowd roars. He then turns and throws her into the announce table. Syren goes up and over as Glory turns and grabs Bree. Bree spears her back into the barricade. Glory holds onto Bree, trying for a guillotine choke as the two fight. Maddy meanwhile climbs up to the top rope and the crowd looks on, making noise for all of the chaos. Regan is down.

Sharper: “Chaos all around. God...”

Knots: “You don’t want Syren! She’s too spoiled for you!”

Sharper: “Maddy Steward on the top rope. Could she win it for her team?!”

Maddy looks at Regan and dives off going for the Rising Star Frog Splash, but Regan rolls out of the way. Maddy hits the mat. The crowd ohs. Regan then gets up, grimaces in pain and running over and grabbing her and hitting the CATastrophe! The crowd cheers. Regan rolls Maddy over and hooks the leg.

The crowd erupts in cheers as Regan rolls off and to her side, the adrenaline wearing off.

Phillips: “Here are your winners of the 2019 Trios Tournament, Regan Street, Glory Braddock and Kellen Jeffries!”

The crowd cheers as Bree looks up and Glory pushes away from her. Bree just turns back and leans against the barricade and grits her teeth, the realization coming over her. Scott heads over to her as Glory rolls into the ring. Kellen turns and slides in. Regan starts to get up as Glory falls to a knee. Kellen winces as he slowly gets up. The referee raises Regan’s arm as she remains down, clearing in pain.

Sharper: “Regan Street fighting through it. Kellen Jeffries fighting through it. Glory Braddock too. Even being attacked, they came together, wanting to win this tournament for the contracts! Syren, Bree Lancaster and Maddy Steward…so close, but that doesn’t count.”

Knots: “No back-up plan for Katya. No back-up plan for Syren. No both options for Bree!”

Sharper: “Bree now has to give her response to Katya tonight before she leaves. But the story should be and is that Regan Street, Kellen Jeffries and Glory Braddock, against all odds, standing tall and each earning a contract for any match they want in the next year!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Bree and Scott walk away. Syren slowly gets up at ringside and looks over. She just yells at the ring, yelling “NO!” repeatedly as Regan is helped up by Kellen. They look at each other as the battle-weathered team stand in the ring and raise their arms, a smirk slowly coming across the face of Regan as the scene slowly fades to black…
