“Supreme Championship Wrestling…”
A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.
“The leading force in sports and entertainment today….”
———————————————-
A hologram globe lights up in what appears to be a techy console, a war room of shorts. The virtual Earth turns, the shades of blue differentiate continents from oceans. Generic rock music begins to plan, and suddenly the smashing of a cymbals leads to an explosion over Asia, the fuzzy image of two men grappling pops up. As the global turns away, another explosion shoots out from the Earth’s surface, two men gets their arm raised up into the air. The globe begins to spin faster, the explosions with the footage occur to make the increase in speed. Double dropkicks, double chokeslams, a doomsday device. The clips begin to blur until the entire globe explodes in a bright, blinding light.
The light gives way, we see a huge gold cup resting on a marble pedestal with a bright gleam. Two arms reach out from either side of the of the screen to grab onto the handle. The brightness turns down enough to make visible the writing underneath the SCW logo:
2020 World’s Best Tournament Champions
A loud hammer of snarls bursts through as the cup deconstructions into thousands of triangles. We cut to the live feed of the Twitch broadcast.
———————————————-
(1) Pina Coladas – 9pts. 3-0
(2-TIED) Seduction – 6pts, 2-1
(2-TIED) Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes – 6pts, 2-1
(4-TIED) Honourable Win – 3 pts, 1-2
(4-TIED) Dresser Boys – 3 pts, 1-2
(6) Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos – 0pts, 0-3
The standings are temporary shown on the screen. The screen fades to the backstage. Polished and clean is the trophy. Beside it, as expected, is Cookie. Cookie’s wearing tight shorts and a tank top, almost looking like Tomb Rider. Both members of Pina Coladas are shown on the screen besides her.
Cookie: “This is the fourth night of the 2020 World’s Best Tournament, and you’ve seen the standings! The longer we go, the teams become more and more separated! No one could have foreseen a pair of upstarts leading the tournament, but don’t ever underestimate the power of youth! Pina Coladas is running away with this tournament so far.”
Now four individuals are shown: Dr. Grace Morningwood, Amelia Robson, Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes.
Cookie: “In second place, are both teams of tonight’s main events! WOW! Talk about the stakes in that match. The cutest married couple in professional wrestling will rely on their tight partnership to overcome Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes. Despite their frustrating first round loss, both Mr. Brando and Miss Reyes are battling back with two back-to-back victories.”
They are then replaced by the images of Honourable Win and the Dresser Boys.
Cookie: “All the way down in fourth place, the supposed favorites of the tournament, Honourable Win and the Dresser Boys are trying to retain some honor! They can’t like the fact that outsiders have passed them by. The burning question, however, is whether or not Gable Winchester and Konrad Raab can avoid mistakes that has cost them the past two matches!”
The final image is of Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos.
Cookie: “And finally, dead last, Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos. They’re totally eliminated from the running, but they’re required to compete in these next two rounds. They can’t be pleased that their appearance in this tournament has be a hugggge disappointment!”
The fourth round matches are shown on the screen now:
Honourable Win [#4, 3pts] vs. Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos [#6, 0pts]
Dresser Boys [#4, 3pts] vs. The Pina Coladas [#1, 9pts]
Seduction [#2, 6pts] vs. Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes [#2, 6pts]
Cookie: “Honourable Win will have the chance to get it together against the down and out team of Avery and Santos! Pina Coladas have another opportunity to prove themselves as the top dogs when the clash with one of the most successful tag teams in SCW history, the Dresser Boys! And FINALLY, the main event might very well determine who’s going to the finals at Taking Hold of the Flame… Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes collides with Seduction! Now out to Adam and Jessica!”
The screen takes us to the inside of Coliseo de la Ciudad Deportiva in Havana, Cuba. In the very center of the circular arena is the ring. The crowd is packed. The air is smoky. Pyrotechnics fire off on the stage. The crowd roars.
Adam Allocco: “Welcome to Cuba! This is the fourth night of the 2020 World’s Best Tournament, and the fans here in Havana is getting their taste of SCW.”
Jessica Winters: “Three rounds are in the books. We have seen separation in the ranks. Tonight might be the most important night for majority of these teams. They’re fighting for survival.”
Adam Allocco: “Only two teams will clash in the finals and that main event might decide who is the other team to meet Pina Coladas.”
Jessica Winters: “As we grow closer to the opening match, let’s go backstage to see how Honourable Win is holding up.”
———————————————-
Gable Winchester is shown walking in the hallways. He approaches Konrad Raab from behind. He places his hand on the shoulder, turning Raab around. Raab seems a little startled by the action but quickly lowers his fists when he realizes it’s his partner.
Konrad Raab: “I’ve been wondering where you’ve been hiding.”
Gable Winchester: “Enough is enough. Tonight, we’re going to win.”
Konrad Raab: “Again, I’m sorry that things went south at the end of our match last night.”
Gable Winchester: “My only regret is that I didn’t leave my hometown without that win.”
Konrad Raab exhaled a heavy sigh. He reaches over and places both hands on his partner’s shoulders.
Konrad Raab: “You deserved a better hometown return than what I offered. I’ll make it up to you tonight. I promise.”
Gable Winchester: “Of course. It would be pretty bad if we drop to the bottom of the rankings. I signed up to win this tournament. I did not sign up to be bottomfeeders.”
Konrad Raab: “I signed up because I go after every opportunity. Tonight, is another opportunity afforded to us. We’ll take it. These next two matches, we’re going to show off how talented we can be.”
Gable Winchester: “You’re a little optimistic.”
Konrad Raab: “It’s how I live my life.”
Gable Winchester: “Let’s go out there. No more mistakes. No more miscommunication. Just let’s win.”
Konrad Raab: “Absolutely!”
Konrad Raab holds out his hand. Gable Winchester looks at it for a second and slaps the hand, pulls it into a handshake. Both men begin to walk towards the entrance stage. The cameras cut to the announcer’s table.
Jessica Winters: “That’s a positive sign. After two tough losses, some people have been questioning if they can keep it together. Having this insight might silent those skeptics.”
Adam Allocco: “Is it me, or Gable Winchester gave Konrad Raab the stink eye.”
Jessica Winters: “I think you’re imagining things. You’re always trying to stir the pot.”
Adam Allocco: “I’ve been a member of a lot of tag teams, competing in a tough division. Sometimes, you just knew, the chemistry you have with someone isn’t there. I feel like that’s the issue with Honourable Win.”
Jessica Winters: “Making mountains out of anthills again to get more intrigue in on your tournament.”
Adam Allocco: “Whatever.”
Jessica Winters: “As Konrad and Gable make their way to the entrance stage. Let’s check in on their opponents, the winless team of JaMarcus Avery and Faustina Santos.”
———————————————-
Cameras are rolling in the backstage area once again. Faustina Santos and JaMarcus Avery are donning their ring gear. They are strolling towards the entrance stage themselves. They seem to be in the middle of a heated conversation.
JaMarcus Avery: “Let’s just get this done with.”
Faustina Santos: “If they’re forcing us to continue, at least let’s have someone fun with it.”
JaMarcus Avery: “Knowing you, it’s going to cost us. Let’s do the job and take the money.”
Faustina Santos: “No… I’m going to enjoy these high-class accommodations they’re providing. This has turned into one big vacation for me. And you know what, I want to go out there and have fun.”
Avery stopped in his tracks. He released an annoyed sigh.
JaMarcus Avery: “What are you thinking?”
Faustina Santos: “All these teams are looking down at us. They written us off. They are laughing at us. I say, let’s see who is the last one laughing is going to be.”
JaMarcus Avery: “And we’ll do that how?”
Faustina Santos: “Raab and Winchester are wanting to redeem themselves. Let’s ruin their night, let’s ruin this tournament for them! By any means possible. And then next week, let’s sabotage the chances of Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes. Hell, maybe we give them a sneak peek tonight!”
JaMarcus Avery reaches up to his chin to contemplate. Faustina frolics up to him and tugs on his arm. She gives him a puppy dog look.
JaMarcus Avery: “I suppose I wouldn’t mind venting out some frustration that way.”
Faustina Santos: “Fantastic!”
The scene fades back to a panning shot of the crowd. The crowd is growing restless.
Jessica Winters: “I don’t like sounds of that.”
Adam Allocco: “I’m sure they’re talking about playing spoiler.”
Jessica Winters: “They already perpetrated an assault in the second night of the tournament. I don’t trust them, Adam.”
Adam Allocco: “What do you want me to do? Send them home?”
Jessica Winters: “If they’re trying to hurt the competition, I say so!”
Adam Allocco: “I think everyone’s tough enough to handle whatever… challenge is thrown their way.”
Jessica Winters: “This is your tournament. If someone gets seriously injured, and SCW has to cover the medical costs… I can believe our bosses aren’t going to be happy.”
Adam Allocco: “Don’t worry.”
———————————————-
Honourable Win [#4, 3pts] vs. Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos [#6, 0pts]
Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall. There is a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first…”
Both Gable and Konrad come out at the top of the stage from either side as “Death Before Dishonour” blasts out around the arena. They both meet at the middle of the stage and fist bump before nodding to one another and walking down to the ring, slapping palms of the crowds as they go down before
Phillips: “Introducing first, making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 400 pounds, they are the team of Gable Winchester and Konrad Raab, Honourable Win!”
Gable slides into the ring and Konrad circles around, slapping more palms before climbing up the steps and into the ring. Both pose on opposite turnbuckles before standing together in the ring, talking amongst each other as they wait for the match to start.
Jessica Winters: “As we mentioned earlier, they are working past their issues and trying to finish this tournament out on a bright spot.”
Adam Allocco: “They’re a long shot from qualifying for the finals. Anything could happen. But right now, they’re wrestling out of pride. You can respect that.”
Jessica Winters: “Definitely. Respectable. Very much the opposite of Santos and Avery, their opponents in this contest.”
Phillips: “And their opponents, representing GCW… the team of JaMarcus Avery and Faustina Santos!”
“King Nothing” by Metallica echos from the louder speaker. The lights go out. When the lights come back on Faustina Santos appears on the stage. Behind her slightly to his left is JaMarcus Avery. He turns around. He takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the audience. He methodically walks down to the ring. Santos is skipping care free behind him. He slides under the bottom rope. He takes a moment to open the rope for Santos. She enters. Santos sits on the top turnbuckle. He leans against the turnbuckle allowing the rest of the song plays out.
Adam Allocco: “Now do they really look suspicious?”
Jessica Winters: “Damn straight they do.”
Adam Allocco: “You’re imaging things. All they want to do is to drag down Honourable Win with them. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Jessica Winters: “If that’s their motivation, then that’s simply being petty.”
Adam Allocco: “I think you’re the petty one, Jessica.”
Gable and Konrad are discussing in their corner before Gable pats Konrad on the back and steps forward. Avery starts out for his team. The bell rings. Gable begins to circle around Avery as Avery enters the center of the ring. Gable charges and he’s slammed hard onto the mat with a hip toss. Gable scrambles back up and comes running. This time he’s lifted up, carried a step or two, and Avery crashes him down with a sidewalk slam. Gable rolls to his corner. Avery allows him to tag in Konrad Raab. Konrad jumps over the top rope. He charges forward. Shoulder block attempted but Avery is driven by a step. Konrad Raab backs up and tries again, Avery lifts him up, turns and slams him against the canvas with a spinebuster.
Jessica Winters: “As usual, JaMarcus Avery is softening up the competition with his set of power moves.”
Adam Allocco: “The man’s built like a tank.”
Jessica Winters: “And I think Honourable Win is going to need to find some heavier machinery in their arsenal to negate JaMarcus Avery.”
Konrad Raab is back up on his feet. He steps backwards to tag in. They both run forward with a double clothesline attempt. Avery ducks underneath, keeps running, rebounds and takes both opponents of their feet with clotheslines of his own. He turns his attention of Gable, underhooking his arm and forcing him up to his feet. He delivers some elbows to the upperback before lifting Gable up onto his shoulder. Gable counters the powerbomb with a tornado DDT. Back on his feet, he runs knocking Santos from her apron location and then rebound off the ropes to greet a raising Avery with a sliding dropkick. Avery bounces and roll. He uses the ropes to climb to his feet and there’s another dropkick to the chest. Gable whips Avery into the ropes and comes chasing after him. He greets Avery immediately on the rebound with a running elbow. He swings Avery around for a neckbreaker. He tags Konrad Raab back in.
Jessica Winters: “Despite the strong start, JaMarcus Avery is being picked on by Honourable Win right now.”
Adam Allocco: “Gable Winchester’s showing his experienced chops in countering Avery and then aggressively pursuing the big man.”
Jessica Winters: “When this tournament first started, some had Gable Winchester and Konrad Raab as the favorites, given Gable’s longstanding presence in the tag team division.”
Adam Allocco: “And someone pondered if the Dresser Boys were going to run away with this. But right now, Honourable Win isn’t in a good position in the standings. If they want to create something special out of this tag team, they’re going to need some success throughout the rest of this tournament.”
Gable and Konrad whips JaMarcus Avery into the ropes and greets him on the rebound with a double superkick. Avery staggers. Konrad sweeps the feet with a kick while Gable drills Avery with the That Just Happened enziguri!
Jessica Winters: “Brilliant double team attack. Gable’s sent to his corner. Konrad with the pin!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Avery tosses Konrad Raab off. This match continues.”
Adam Allocco: “Right now, they’ve isolated Avery in this match. Let’s see if he searches for a way to find a reprieve.”
Konrad Raab drops down, pulls the arm into an arm bar. Avery shakes his head, grunting in pain. Raab leans back, trying to apply as much as pressure as he. Avery begins to shake his arm. He rolls Raab up but instead of leaving the shoulders pin. He stands, yanking Raab up with him, swings Raab up and drops down for a sit-out powerbomb. Avery charges forward towards Gable. Gable jumps off the apron in time to avoid impact. Avery turns on the raising Konrad Raab, waves Raab on. T-Bone Suplex onto Konrad Raab. He drags Raab by the arm to his corner and tags in Faustina. Raab is hoisted onto the shoulders of Avery. Faustina runs into the ropes and comes back, dropkick to the face, leading Avery into a Samoan drop in the center of the ring:
Jessica Winters: “Beautiful double team. The pin by the fresh Faustina!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “And Konrad Raab gets his shoulder up!”
Adam Allocco: “Faustina is active for the first time in this match. Meanwhile, Raab needs to seek out of the tag and get out of there!”
Raab begins to crawl towards his corner. Faustina follows him, waits until he’s almost in reach before leaping up and landing on the back of Raab with a double foot stomp. She sticks her tongue out playfully to Gable Winchester. She throws Raab over onto his back. Another double foot stomp to the chest, Faustina hops off, runs towards the ropes. Lionsault onto Raab.
Jessica Winters: “Faustina with another pin!”
1…
2…
Adam Allocco: “Again, only two.”
Jessica Winters: “Right now, Raab’s reeling. You have to think if he’s starting to panic because he claimed he would get Gable his win tonight.”
Adam Allocco: “I don’t think Raab’s panicking, but he might press if given the chance.”
Faustina tags Avery back in. Avery hoists her up onto his shoulder and he slams her down onto Raab. She rolls out of the ring as Avery reaches down and grabs Raab by the throat. He lifts him up high into the air but kicks him the gut before dropping down. Drop toe hold brings Avery into the mat. Raab lunges forward to make the pin and he tags in Gable. Gable dives forward with a school boy pin while Avery was climbing to his feet.
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Quick pin, trying to catch the juggernaut by surprise.”
Adam Allocco: “Gable Winchester wants that win after all!”
Jessica Winters: “I wonder what he calls himself when he doesn’t win. Man of Loss?”
Adam Allocco: “I think Gable has an attitude that convinces himself that he is always a winner regardless of what’s on paper.”
Gable kicks the ankle of Avery as Avery powers his way to his feet. He swings a kick to the catch but Avery catches it. Gable leaps up with the other foot and boots Avery in the face. Avery stumbles backwards, Gable takes him off his feet with a leg lariat. Avery hurries back to his feet, superman punch knocks Avery off his feet. Gable Winchester climbs up onto the top rope as Avery is laid out in the center of the ring. FameChanger! Lands and connects.
Jessica Winters: “The Fame Changer! This could over!”
Adam Allocco: “Konrad Raab’s kneeling on the apron. He can’t play keepaway from Faustina if she tries to interrupt the pin.”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Faustina tackles into Gable, knocking him off of Avery!”
Adam Allocco: “Blown opportunity there.”
Gable slams his hands onto the canvas, frustration is now showing on his face. Gable stalks Avery as Avery searches for his feet. Avery pulls himself up using the ropes. Gable pulls him forward but Avery counters with an irish whip. Gable rebounds right into a big boot. Avery drops to a knee as Gable holds his jaw. Both men crawls towards their corners.
Jessica Winters: “Avery manages to even the playingfield, but he’s hurt.”
Adam Allocco: “That kick seem to have taken a toll on Gable.
Jessica Winters: “Whoever gets the tag first gives their partner the advantage.”
Both make the tag. Raab rushes into the ring. Faustina is taken down with a clothesline. She pops up for another clothesline. Faustina runs again, tries her own clothesline but Raab pops up behind her after ducking, german suplex onto Faustina. Avery comes at him, not having left the ring, and Raab lowers the top rope to eject him from the ring. Faustina comes at Raab, but Raab ducks her second clothesline attempt. She bounces off the ropes right into a back suplex. Raab pops up, he signals Faustina to climb to her feet.
Adam Allocco: “Konrad Raab’s on fire. I think he’s going for the kill here!”
Jessica Winters: “The Ice Storm’s coming! No- wait!”
As Raab handsprings back, Faustina pulls the referee in front of her. Raab strikes with the Ice Storm! Raab turns around for the pin, and sees the black and white stripes. He holds his head in shock. Avery slides a steel chair into the ring. She slams it against the canvas and sizes Raab up. Raab climbs to his feet and turns, he gets blasted by the steel chair. He falls out of the ring and down onto the outside. Gable Winchester’s in the ring. Faustina turns and there’s spinning wheel kick right into the chair, firing it back into Faustina. She is launched out of the ring herself.
Jessica Winters: “Referee’s down! Faustina used the chair against Raab but Gable gave her a dose of her own medicine.”
Adam Allocco: “The referee’s oblivious to the mayhem.”
Jessica Winters: “Gable has the chair now. He’s not satisfied with returning the receipt. He’s wants to cause more damage.”
Avery charges into the ring and rushes Gable but Gable blasts him with a chair shot to the head. Avery drops and rolls out of the ring. Gable follows him. Avery hurries to his feet and Gable drives the top of the folding chair into his gut. He sends Avery to the ground with a chair shot to the back.
Jessica Winters: “Gable’s on a rampage. I’m surprised. I thought he would have gotten his partner back in.”
Adam Allocco: “You’re seeing his frustration boiling over here.”
Faustina pulls herself up using the ring apron. Gable Winchester walks around the corner of the ring. The referee is stirring in the corner, slowly getting up. Faustina stands up and she’s hit overhead with the steel chair. Gable goes to swing the chair down onto her but Raab is there to pull on his shoulder. Gable swings around with the chair and blasts his own partner. Raab goes down. Referee’s up. Gable stares down at Raab, breathing heavily.
Jessica Winters: “Gable Winchester takes out Raab. Did he mean to do that?”
Adam Allocco: “By the curses coming out of Gable’s mouth, I don’t think so.”
Gable tosses down the chair. Referee is counting Raab and Faustina out. [1] Gable begins to stomp up the ramp, shaking his head, shouting expletives. [2] All three remaining participants are down on the outside. [3] [4] Raab and Faustina starts to stir on the outside. [5] [6] Avery is up on one knee. [7] [8] Raab’s up to one knee himself. Faustina’s still down, rolling around, holding her head. [9] Avery manages to yank Faustina to her feet and just as he starts to roll her in, the referee signals [10!]
Jessica Winters: “This match ends in a double countout. But what a crazy finish? Everything went out the rails. Everyone but Gable was hit by a steel chair.”
Adam Allocco: “And Gable Winchester just left. I don’t know what’s going through his mind.”
Jessica Winters: “Meanwhile, Avery, Faustina, and Raab was left in a world of pain.”
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been deemed draw due to a double countout!”
The crowd boos at the result. Avery and Faustina are shouting, pointing towards the chair, holding themselves in pain. Raab just drops to his hands and knees, shaking his head. JaMarcus Avery and Faustina Santos limp up the ramp towards the curtains.
———————————————-
Cameras immediately run backstage as Avery and Santos crosses to the other side of the curtains. Standing there to greet them is a crossed-armed Devin Brando. He looks them up and down, not uttering a single word.
Faustina Santos: “What the hell are you looking at?!”
Faustina screams but Avery puts an hand out to hold her back.
Devin Brando: “Not much.”
Faustina Santos: “Go screw yourself!”
Avery now has to step in between the two, as Faustina tries to lunge forward. Meanwhile, Devin Brando stands there, seeming unaffected by the comment or Faustina’s actions.
Devin Brando: “Word of advice. Don’t get involved in my match tonight. It won’t end well for you.”
Devin Brando turns and walks away while Faustina foams at the mouth. Avery seems very tired and mentally exhausted, as he drags his teammate in a different direction.
Jessica Winters: “Faustina Santos suggested earlier that they pay Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes a visit. We seen them attack their future opponents. Maybe Brando got wind of her intentions?”
Adam Allocco: “I don’t know if they’re in any shape to do anything other than take an ice bath.”
Jessica Winters: “We remain backstage.”
———————————————-
Pina Coladas are backstage, laughing and talking as Lyza Reyes walks up to them with a smile on her face. She isn’t showing any sign of frustrations.
Delilah: “Can we help you?”
HUNG: “You want an autograph?”
Lyza Reyes laughs at the suggestion. She raises her hand, signaling she means no harm.
Lyza Reyes: “I simply want to wish you two good luck tonight, not that you need it.”
Delilah: “Well, that’s nice of you.”
Lyza Reyes: “We’re big fans of you after your first round victory. So much so, Devin and I can’t wait to see you two in the finals.”
HUNG: “Whether it’s you or Seduction, we don’t care. We have this tournament in the bag.”
Lyza Reyes: “Remember… too much arrogance can cost you dearly.”
Lyza Reyes turns and waves good bye as she heads towards her locker room. Delilah and HUNG exchanges a look between each other.
HUNG: “What? We’re unstoppable.”
Delilah: “Let’s not get too cocky. We still have three matches left before we get that trophy.”
HUNG: “I’m locked in. Ready to go. Dresser Boys, here we come!”
HUNG points down the hallway. He marches and Delilah follows behind. We cut back to the Cuban crowd, buzzing.
Jessica Winters: “Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando have their sight set on that number two spot.”
Adam Allocco: “They have an opportunity to get that much closer to realizing that goal, but first, Dresser Boys are looking to rebound against the first place, Pina Coladas. And you can just tell Pina Coladas are loving their performances so far in this tournament.”
———————————————-
Dresser Boys [#4, 3pts] vs. The Pina Coladas [#1, 9pts]
Philips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall… with a twenty-minute time limit.”
“Shake Ya Tailfeather” from the Bad Boys soundtrack plays and Violator makes his way out onto the stage and continues walking to the ring as he’s focused on the match at hand. MV walks out second wearing a classic wrestling robe and he stops on the stage to pose for the crowd. MV hyping himself up from the cheery fans in attendances.
Phillips: “Introducing first, making their way to the ring… they are the team of Violator Black and Marcus V. Lopez…. The DRESSER BOYS!”
Violator rolls into the ring and walks to their corner where he psychs himself up and MV begins his walk to the ring. MV walks up the steps and wipes his feet on the apron before entering the ring. MV de-robes and walks over to their corner and the two have some words before their match begins.
Jessica Winters: “The Dresser Boys are entering this fourth round with only having won one of their three matches coming in.”
Adam Allocco: “Early Vegas bets had them as the presumptive favorites. Right now, we’re not seeing anything like that out of this unit.”
Jessica Winters: “Is it ring rust?”
Adam Allocco: “It’s definitely something. Maybe ring rust. Maybe their relationship has soured. Who knows? All we see is that they’re not getting the results that they hoped to have and what we had expected.”
The lights go out with a flip of the switch as the opening to Escape by Rupert Holmes hits over the P.A System, all eyes then divert to the stage as a pink and yellow hue begins to emanate from the lights. The large Screen explodes into life with the words…
::The Following is a HUNG Production::
Then there is an explosion of liquid hitting the screen and washes away to reveal video of HUNG & Delilah strutting towards the screen along a beach. We then see various shots of them having fun, doing various activities. Surfing, jet skiing. Volleyball etc… The sun shines brightly, Hung is dressed in a multi-colour print shirt while Delilah is wearing a t-shirt tied at the waist and hot pants.
Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, hailing from California… They weigh in tonight at a combined weight of Three hundred and five lbs. They bring with them the Rum and the Tumble… They are the PINA COLADAS!!”
Two spotlights shine down onto the stage now, one pink and one yellow, standing in a beam each is HUNG who is staring at his camera lens talking and Delilah who waves to the crowd. The arena lights come up next fully as the fans cheer for the two young talents. The pair walk towards each other and high five before heading down towards the ring, HUNG making sure to take Selfies with the fans and Delilah along the way since he can’t help himself. The pair quickly slide into the ring together and make their way to different corners. HUNG pointing the camera outwards to get a better view of the crowd while Delilah grins and waves. The two then jump down and head to their corner, HUNG laying the camera down and the pair begin to discuss their strategy for the up and coming match.
Jessica Winters: “Facing the Dresser Boys, the distinctive number one team so far in this tournament, the unlikely pair of Pina Coladas.”
Adam Allocco: “Relative unknowns, but they had the connections that convinced me they could be dangerous. I was right.”
Jessica Winters: “You do have an eye of talent.”
Adam Allocco: “Did you just compliment me?”
Jessica Winters: “Don’t get used to it.”
Adam Allocco: “Delilah is beginning the match for her team. Violator seems to be taking the reins for his.”
Delilah stands there, eying down Violator. She crouches slightly, her hands out, ready to grapple. Violator smirks towards her. He steps forward and Delilah goes to reach forward, but Violator pops underneath, connects with an uppercut. The blow launches Delilah. She scrambles to her feet, and there’s another closed fist, a heavy right. Referee issues a verbal warning about the punches but Violator ignores with a jab, jab, and then attempt at cross. Delilah snatches the incoming punch, leaps over, rolling Violator over into an arm bar. Violator immediately counts, shifting his weight over to pin her shoulders. Delilah releases the hold immediately, trying to avoid a pin attempt, slides out underneath. She beats Violator to his feet, dealing him quickly a mule kick as he goes to stand. While he holds his nose in pain, Delilah shoots into the ropes and comes back, leaping over his leaning body, catching him with a fameasser.
Jessica Winters: “Back and forth in the early moments of this contest.”
Adam Allocco: “Deliah withstood Violator’s hard striking, responded with some blows of her own.”
Jessica Winters: “She’s been trained by the best. And whatever effort and hard work she has put into becoming a professional wrestling, it’s definitely has paid off.”
Adam Allocco: “Her and HUNG took this tournament by storm.”
Jessica Winters: “Some have questioned if they can keep this up.”
Adam Allocco: “I think they can!”
Delilah steps out onto the apron. She waves her arm up, trying to signal her hope that Violator stands. She leaps onto the top rope and come behind, crashing down with a bulldog. Her moment keeps her sliding to her corner, where she tags in HUNG. HUNG runs forward, catches Violator with a dropsault. Violator drops to his knees. Delilah and HUNG goes their separate ways, before converging back on Violator off the ropes, delivering stiff kicks to either side of Violator.
Jessica Winters: “Rum Runner!”
Adam Allocco: “Pina Coladas are pulling off all the stops to end this match early.”
Jessica Winters: “HUNG with the pin attempt.”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Just a two count there.”
Adam Allocco: “The Pina Coladas are handling this match the tradition cutting the ring in half, isolating the opponent.”
Jessica Winters: “Typically, MV is the one they gets picked on. Not tonight.”
HUNG catches an oncoming Violator with a drop toe hold, sending him launching into Pina Coladas’ home corner. With him holding the second turnbuckle, HUNG tags in Delilah. Delilah grabs the hold of the top rope, leaps over the top, comes crashing down with a double footstomp. HUNG steps out only to be immediately tagged in. This time Delilah holds Violator back in a full nelson, springboard dropkick connects, launching Violator back into a full nelson slam of sorts.
Jessica Winters: “Rapid exchanges of tags and double team strikes.”
Adam Allocco: “HUNG again hooks the leg.”
1…
2…
Adam Allocco: “And again, only two.”
Jessica Winters: “Dominating start to this match by the Pina Coladas.”
Violator stumbles forward towards his ropes, but he gets caught to the side with a running knee lift. Violator reels back, falls against a neutral corner. HUNG comes running in but Violator gets a boot up. HUNG staggers back, spins around, and tries to crash the corner again but Violator ducks underneath. HUNG’s chest hits the turnbuckle and he bounces up. A weary Violator grabs him from behind, pulls him into a rear naked choke. He wraps his arms around HUNG. HUNG immediately starts to fade as the oxygen gets cut from his head. Delilah couldn’t watch any more, she runs in and slide tackles into Violator to break up the hold. MV hurries in the ring, blindsiding Delilah with a running DDT. Delilah bounces and roll out of the ring. Marcus V. Lopez returns to his corner under referee orders.
Jessica Winters: “That might have be the opening the Dresser Boys need.”
Adam Allocco: “Violator’s deadly rear naked choke almost did HUNG in.”
Jessica Winters: “Violators crawling to his corner. HUNG doing the same, but there’s no Delilah to tag in.”
MV gets the tag, hurries over to HUNG, pulls him by the ankle away. MV hops over to snatch HUNG’s head into a headlock. HUNG stands up, lifts MV for what looks like a back suplex but MV comes back behind him. Russian legsweep begins HUNG to the mat. MV rolls over onto the chest, rains down some forearms. HUNG tosses MV off of him. HUNG hurries to his feet but there’s a kick to the face. The blow sends HUNG onto his feet, holding his jaw. MV hops into a wheel barrow and swings out into a cutter. HUNG is shoved over.
Jessica Winters: “Marcus V. Lopez with the pin attempt!”

Jessica Winters: “HUNG kicks out.”
Adam Allocco: “MV has taken control over HUNG. The Dresser Boys are back in business.”
Jessica Winters: “HUNG hasn’t had the opportunity to tag out, but Delilah’s back at it, she’s holding out her hand for the tag.”
Marcus tries to grapple with HUNG, but HUNG ducks underneath the grabbing arms. He flips back into a pelekick. Both competitors are down. HUNG begins to crawl towards his corner. MV recovers in time to leaps forward and drops down with an elbow his back. He takes HUNG by the back of the neck and tosses him into his corner. He drills HUNG with a chop. MV tags Violator in. Violator does a stiff chop of his own. Violator tags in MV. This repeats three or four times until finally Violator pulls HUNG forward, hoists him up onto his shoulder, powerbomb in the middle of the ring.
Jessica Winters: “MV and Violator was having a contest of who could do a better chop from the looks of it.”
Adam Allocco: “They sometimes like to out do the other. A little internal rivalry?”
Jessica Winters: “Violator covers the shoulder!”

Jessica Winters: “Delilah dives in to break up the pin.”
Adam Allocco: “Right now, everything is going for the Dresser Boys. They recovered brilliantly from that wretched start to this match.”
HUNG is led to his feet, whipped into the ropes. He blasts Violator with a stiff kick to the face after Violator foretold with a lowered shoulder too early. HUNG dives to knock MV off the apron. He comes running back with the stunned Violator but Violator catches him, turns around, and drives him into the canvas with a spinebuster. He holds his jaw instead of going for the pin. He drags HUNG closer to his corner. While MV gets back up onto the apron, Violator kneels, drives a few punches to the face. He tags in MV. Both Dresser Boys lifts HUNG up for a double suplex into the center of the ring.
Jessica Winters: “Another double team. Another tag. Dresser Boys are rolling.”
Adam Allocco: “MV goes for the pin!”

Jessica Winters: “HUNG kicks out right before three.”
Adam Allocco: “Delilah watching on. She wants back in but the Dresser Boys has taken solid control of this match.”
HUNG is helped for his feet. Marcus V. Lopez goes for the French Destroyer but HUNG tosses Lopez over his shoulder. MV drops down with a thud, HUNG dives forward to make the tag! Delilah catches MV with a monkey flip to toss him across the ring. She is back, she ducks the invading Violator’s clothesline. He turns and tries to whip her, but she counters, Splitter! Violator goes down. MV runs towards her, hurricanrana but Delilah rolls through, has both legs now, steps into a sharpshooter!
Jessica Winters: “Delilah fending off both members of the Dresser Boys!”
Adam Allocco: “And right now, MV is in the center of the ring in a world of pain!”
Jessica Winters: “Is he going to tap to the sharpshooter?”
Marcus V. Lopez looks as if he’s about to tap. He can’t get any closer to the ropes. His hand is hovering over the canvas as if he’s contemplating tapping. Violator’s back in her the ring, he blasts Delilah to the side with a big boot. Delilah crumples over. Violator goes to continue the attack but there’s HUNG with a shining gamenguri. Violator is launched backwards, falls through the ropes. He steps out to the apron, comes running across the apron, shooting star press down onto Violator on the outside. MV and Delilah find their feet. Delilah turns, MV catches her with the French Destroyer!

Jessica Winters: “HUNG yanks Delilah out of the ring to save her.”
Adam Allocco: “This match continues!”
HUNG and Delilah are huddled on the outside. Marcus V. Lopez runs from the far end back, suicide dive over the top rope but Hung and Delilah shove each other out of the way and MV crashes and burns violently on the outside. From the side, Violator grabs HUNG by the head, let’s his head bounce off the ring post. Delilah runs across the length of the ring, uses the kneeling MV as a springboard, and leaps up to catch Violator with a leglariat. Delilah helps up HUNG. Together they roll MV into the ring. They pause, holding up finger, the turn and greet a rising Violator with superkicks. Delilah rolls into the ring, while HUNG begins to preoccupy the downed Violator. Marcus V. Lopez begins to stir, Delila tackles him, pulling him into the Vice!
Jessica Winters: “MV is in the middle of the ring! Delilah has that Vice locked in!”
Adam Allocco: “She’s squeezing the life out of MV!”
Jessica Winters: “MV is out! The referee is calling for the bell!”
Adam Allocco: “Wow, another statement win by the Pina Coladas!”
Phillips: “The winners of the match, by submission… Pina Coladas!”
“Escape” by Rupert Holmes plays over the PA System. Delilah and HUNG gather in the ring and begin to celebrate. Violator is slow to get up. Marcus V. Lopez is being checked on by the referee.”
Adam Allocco: “Four down, four wins. There’s no catching up to them at this rate!”
Jessica Winters: “They’re definitely are the forerunners and they’re going to be watching tonight’s main event to get a better understanding who they might have to face again at Taking Hold of the Flame.”
———————————————-
Seduction is show watching a monitor in the back. They both nod their head. Dr. Grace Morningwood turns to her wife, puts both hands on her shoulders.
Grace Morningwood: “That’s a red hot tag team. I want to beat them.”
Amelia Robson: “Are you saying that I’m not?”
Grace Morningwood: “Of course not, but look. Devin Brando and Lyze Reyes believe they’re going to be the team to challenge those kids at Taking Holding of the Flame.”
Amelia Robson: “And is that so wrong? I mean, we believe that we’re that team.”
Grace Morningwood stares at Amelia. They both begin to laugh.
Grace Morningwood: “And there’s more.”
Amelia Robson: “There’s always more.”
Grace Morningwood: “Think about what it would be like if we win this tournament. I know we already lost to Pina Coladas once, but when everything’s on the line, and we punch through, imagine what opportunities that will open up for us in SCW.”
Amelia Robson lifts her fist to her mouth, and nods in agreement. She hums.
Amelia Robson: “Then I guess we have no other choice.”
Grace Morningwood: “We’re going to have to win tonight. Win in two weeks. And win at Taking Hold of the Flame.”
Amelia Robson: “Win… win…. Win… all we have to do win.”
Grace Morningwood: “So are you ready?”
Amelia Robson: “Oh come on… you know I was born ready.”
Grace and Amelia turns and begins to walk towards the entrance stage. We cut back to the crowd as the Dresser Boys are finally walking up the ramp. Violator is helping MV up the ramp. MV seems to be in rough shape.
Jessica Winters: “Seduction understands now, any hope of making it to the finals, they’re going to have to beat Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes.”
Adam Allocco: “Seduction is thinking about what this tournament could do for their careers… and I think Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes simply want to rectify that round one loss to the Pina Coladas.”
Jessica Winters: “We’re moments away from this very big main event that might very well determine the rest of this tournament.”
———————————————-
Seduction [#2, 6pts] vs. Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes [#2, 6pts]
Philips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this your night’s main event, set for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit.”
A black and white video vignette begins rolling on the screens, showing Lyza Reyes dressed as Charlie Chaplin on the moon. There is no dialogue, but simply piano music playing with the pace of the footage. She’s caught in the middle of a tug of war match between a U.S. Spaceman, and a small group of miniature aliens. Before determining which side pulls Lyza once and for all, the feed goes dead. Television static comes through, which leads to a shot of Devin Brando, standing in the center of war born chaos. Half of his face is painted with his former persona’s essence. He glides his hand down his face before he starts down the centerline. The venue goes black.
“There’s no right, there’s no wrong, there’s only popular opinion.”
All while these videos play, the introduction of “Clockwork” by Hyper comes and goes. When the beat drops, Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando make their way out from behind the curtain. Devin gives the world a solemn look while Lyza moves around him, taking in the energy of their environment. When she clears out of his way, the Last King starts his way down the ramp. Lyza takes the time to slap some of the hands of the fans. Brando doesn’t seem invested in the action. When they make their way to the end of the ramp, Devin looks to both sides of himself. Lyza stops in front of him and turns to face him. Brando’s eyes fall on her and she gives him a pat on the shoulder before backing away.
Phillips: “Weighing at a combined weight of 375 pounds, the team of Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes!”
With a nice turn of the heel, Reyes hit the ring steps while Devin opts to slide underneath the bottom rope. While the man rises, Lyza leaps over the top rope and scales the nearest turnbuckle. She points to some of the “Lyzanities.” When she gets off the turnbuckle, she turns to face the hard camera. Devin stands in their corner, seated against the second turnbuckle. She comes over and levels herself onto the top turnbuckle, finalizing their tandem as they await the beginning bell.
Jessica Winters: “Wrestling enthusiasts have been fans of both Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando for some time, but it’s taken this long for Devin Brando to grace a SCW ring.”
Adam Allocco: “Devin is man that goes into a promotion, takes control, and goes straight to the top. People were waiting to see if he would make the jump to the big leagues.”
Jessica Winters: “You have to believe there are SCW scouts here, checking out both teams in this main event, as they have done so throughout this tournament.”
Adam Allocco: “Rumors have it that Seduction has been approached about a SCW contract.”
Jessica Winters: “Big news if that’s true.”
The lights around the arena begin to flicker as the iconic guitar opening to Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen” begins to play. Dr. Grace Morningwood and “Supergirl” Amelia Robson burst out from behind the curtain, immediately playing to the fans around the arena.
Phillips: “And their opponents, at a combined weight of 210 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada… the team of “The Good Doctor” Grace Morningwood and “Supergirl” Amelia Robson…. they are SEDUCTION!”
They make their way down the ramp, slapping hands of the fans along the ring. Once down at the bottom of the ramp, they hop onto the apron, going back to back as they pose for the crowd. They climb into the ring and move around the four corners, one on the turnbuckle, the other on the ropes just to her right. They raise their arms and they get booed.
Jessica Winters: “As we have mentioned, this main event is very critical in shaping the finals of this tournament.”
Adam Allocco: “A win here tonight for either team, pretty much locks them in as the number two seed.”
Jessica Winters: “Even if the loser here wins, and the winner loses to end up with a tie in points, they win the head-to-head.”
Adam Allocco: “A lot of pressure.”
Jessica Winters: “Both teams want a second chance against Pina Coladas.”
Lyza Reyes and Amelia Robson start out the match for their respective teams. Amelia holds out her hand and Lyza shakes it immediately, without hesitation. This provokes a round of applause from the Cuban fans. The bell rings. Amelia pulls Lyza over with a fireman’s carry, Lyza lands on her feet. She attempts to roll up Amelia for the pin, but Amelia rolls through onto her feet. Front dropkick to the face of Lyza sends her tumbling to the center of the ring, but she pushes off the canvas. Amelia with a forearm, but Lyza tunes it around, toekick to the gut, DDT exercised by Lyza Reyes. Lyza turns Amelia around, seeming to be looking for the fujiwara armbar but Amelia slips through her grasp, and rolls away to the outside of the ring. Lyza nods her head in approval as Amelia walks up the ring steps and returns into the ring. She tags out. Lyza seeing this, tag in Devin Brando.
Jessica Winters: “First volley, mark that up for the team of Brando and Reyes.”
Adam Allocco: “There seems to be some respect between at least Amelia and Lyza.”
Jessica Winters: “Lyza not being too aggressive. She’s not overplaying her hand. Now she’s opted to let Devin have a go.”
Adam Allocco: “Let’s see how this second round of action goes with the changing of the guards.”
Dr. Grace Morningwood begins to approach Devin Brando. He runs forward, she sidesteps the shoulder block attempt, almost like matador dodging a bull. Brando swings around with a heavy backhand but Gracie ducks underneath. She runs past him, springboards, and catches Devin with an arm drag. He hurries to his feet. He charges again, once more is caught with an arm drag from the speedy Morningwood. Not waiting, she speeds past Devin Brando. He stands and turns, catching Grace in the air when she attempts a crossbody. He swings her body around for a backbreaker, his knee driving into her spine. Devin lifts her back up, sidewalk slam in the center of the ring. Grace arches her back.
Jessica Winters: “Grace tried to negate Devin Brando’s power with speed, but once he caught her, he’s not letting go.”
Adam Allocco: “Being outsized, outmuscled, it becomes a dance of sorts to avoid falling under the control of your much stronger opponent.”
Jessica Winters: “If there’s one thing I have to say, when that bell rings, Devin Brando is cold and calculating. Right now, despite some momentarily, he sticks to the gameplan.”
Grace begins to crawl towards her corner but Devin cuts her off at the pass. Devin Brando underhooks both arms and forces Grace to her feet. He lifts her up for another backbreaker. He drags Grace across the ring to his corner where he tags in Lyza Reyes. Lyza Reyes hops into the ring, comes charging towards Grace. Headscissors takedown, going for the Ultra Combo but Grace manages to throw Lyza off, Devin Brando’s big boot collides with his partner instead. Devin Brando looks down, shaking his head before heading straight towards Grace. Referee gets in the way and orders him back to the corner. Grace stumble backwards into her corner, tags in her wife.
Jessica Winters: “Well-timed, well-placed counter there, and Grace escape to safety.”
Adam Allocco: “Devin Brando seemed unconcerned that he caught his partner with the big boot.”
Jessica Winters: “Maybe he knows it was an accident, and trust that she does too.”
Adam Allocco: “Or we could end up with an Honourable Win situation…”
Jessica Winters: “Let’s not go there.”
Lyza is up on her hands and knees. Amelia runs forward with a stiff kick to the side. Lyza rolls to the ropes, and out onto the apron. Amelia reaches down and pulls her up but Lyza responds with an elbow to Amelia’s face. Amelia fires back with a knee. She yanks Lyza over the ropes, legs balance on top, DDT spikes Lyza’s head into the mat. Amelia throws herself up onto the top rope, she aims down towards Lyza. Lyza finds her feet and she turn, taken down by a diving crossbody!
Jessica Winters: “Amelia Robson with a highflying sunt that pays off. Right into the pin!”

Jessica Winters: “Lyza kicks right after two.”
Adam Allocco: “Reyes is on her heels. Devin Brando seems eager to get back to work.”
Jessica Winters: “She’s going to need to create an opening.”
Amelia makes the tag. Amelia yanks Lyza to her feet, lifts her up over her shoulder. As she readies for the spinebuster, Gracie comes across the throat with a leg lariat. Standing Ovation lands Lyza Reyes on her back. Amelia returns to her corner. Grace climbs up onto the top rope, she turns, leaps off with the moonsault!
Jessica Winters: “Lyza absorb all that impact of the moonsault! Pin!”

Jessica Winters: “Devin Brando yanks Grace off of Lyza and swings her out of the way.”
Adam Allocco: “He comes Amelia!”
Amelia enters the ring now, comes charging towards Devin. Devin spots her, ducks underneath the extended arm. Release german suplex drops Amelia right onto her wife. Devin Brando gets the referee in his face again, who points towards his corner. He reluctantly returns to his corner. Gracie and Amelia help each other up.

Jessica Winters: “Gracie kicks out after two.”
Adam Allocco: “Lyza is eying her corner. Gracie is doing the same.”
Jessica Winters: “Lyza seems to be in a lil better shape. She’s going to get there first.”
Lyza tags in Devin. Devin rushes over and grabs the ankle of Gracie before she can crawl to make the tag. Grace jumps to one leg, swings around with the mule kick. She stumbles forward to make the tag. Amelia grabs a hold of the top rope, springboards in, lands on Devin’s shoulder for a hurricarana! Devin is tossed through the middle rope where he spills to the outside of the ring. Lyza staggers to her feet. Amelia bounces off the ropes behind her, jumps up besides her, delivers the Turn Around, Bright Eyes. Lyza bounces and rolls out of the ring.
Jessica Winters: “Amelia has cleared the ring of the opposition.”
Adam Allocco: “What a majestic sequence of wrestling there from Amelia Robson. She’s really looking like her monkier, a real Supergirl.”
Amelia runs from one side to the next. Suicide dive takes down Devin Brando. She lands on her feet, she slides in and runs across the ring again for another suicide dive, landing her on her feet. The crowd explodes as Amelia stomp over to the corner closest to Devin Brando. She climbs up onto the top rope. She shouts something to the fans before launching. Avengercarana rom the top rope to the outside, but Devin Brando sit out with a powerbomb instead. Amelia’s head whips against the thin mat on the concrete floor.
Adam Allocco: “Oh my!”
Jessica Winters: “Devin Brando just brutalized Amelia Robson. That could have taken her out of this match.”
Adam Allocco: “Things couldn’t have been looking so promising for Amelia and Seduction as a whole, and then BAM! That just happened.”
Referee slides out of the ring to check on Amelia. Grace does so too. Referee waves down and some medical personnel comes running down the ramp. They proceed to check on Amelia. The referee asks Grace’s a question, she nods her head. She slides into ring. The referee climbs into the ring, at this point, Devin is demanding an explanation.
Jessica Winters: “Amelia’s getting medical attention here tonight. I think her night might be over.”
Adam Allocco: “They’re checking to assure she’s not concussed. Meanwhile, Grace’s in the ring. Referee seems to be motioning to Devin Brando that Grace is going to continue the match alone.”
Jessica Winters: “He’s not liking that, he’s arguing that Amelia’s the active participant and should be counted out.”
Adam Allocco: “Referee’s discretion.”
Jessica Winters: “This match seems to continue with Lyza Reyes calming Devin Brando down.”
Devin Brando nods to Lyza as the converse in the corner. Devin Brando tags in Lyza Reyes, seeming to take a moment for himself to cool off. Lyza Reyes approaches Grace Morningwood who seems to be ready. They lock up. Grace gets Lyza into a side headlock. Lyza throws her forward.

Jessica Winters: “No! Wait, referee is signaling that Grace kicked out at three!”
Adam Allocco: “I swore this is over!”
Lyza shrugs over to Devin. She climbs up again onto the top rope. Pura Vida again! But this time, Grace rolls out of the way and Lyza gets nothing but canvas. She bounces up and down.
Jessica Winters: “Lyza thought to hit her second but that time, somehow, someway, Grace Morningwood rolled to safety.”
Adam Allocco: “I don’t know if there is anywhere safe. She’s outmanned. Outgunned. It’s only a matter of time.”
Jessica Winters: “I’ve seen Grace before like this. You can’t count out her heart!”
Grace rolls to her corner, looks up, and remembers she’s alone. She stays slouched on the bottom rope. Meanwhile, Lyza reaches her corner, still feeling a lot of pain from that miss.

Grace battles to her feet and handsprings forward. Devin runs to meet her and just collides with Grace’s body to send her flying. Devin walks over to his corner, tags in Lyza Reyes. Grace is on her hands and knees. She’s lifted up. Midnight Murder Scene! Off the top rope again, Pura Vida!
Jessica Winters: “That was overkill!”
Adam Allocco: “This is it! It’s all over!”
1…

Jessica Winters: “Despite Grace’s valiant effort, Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes was too great to overcome.”
Adam Allocco: “This match turned the moment Devin Brando took out Amelia Robson on the outside.”
Jessica Winters: “Right now, we have clear pecking order now in this tournament. Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes have claimed the second-place spot. Seduction falls to third with a record of 2-2.”
Adam Allocco: “What a match…. What a fight. But at end of the day, Brando and Reyes proved themselves worthy.”
Jessica Winters: “We’re scheduled for one last round of action, live from Hawaii in two week’s time.”
Adam Allocco: “While this match clarified who will meet at Taking Hold of the Flame. The finals are going to ultimately go down to being between Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes.”
Jessica Winters: “They did warn Pina Coladas tonight, they’re gunning form them.”
Adam Allocco: “This last round is going to be for pride. Differences in prize money and respectability is at stake here.”
Jessica Winters: “Back to you Cookie!”
———————————————-
Cameras start backstage where Cookie stands by, next to the Trophy. On the other side is a screen showing the standings. For a moment, it’s blown up for everyone to see.
(1) Pina Coladas – 12pts, 4-0-0
(2) Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes – 9pts, 3-1-0
(3) Seduction – 6pts, 2-2-0
(4) Honourable Win – 4pts , 1-2-1
(5) Dresser Boys – 3pts , 1-3-0
(6) Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos – 1pts. 3-0-1
Cookie greets the camera with a smile.
Cookie: “Wow… oh wow! What a crazy night! Can you believe what happened? I can’t! My thoughts and prayers are out to Amelia Robson. Hope she has a speedy recovery after hitting her head like that. So from what I’m told, the finals of the 2020 World’s Best has been decided one week earlier. Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes will have their second chance against the Pina Coladas at Taking Hold of the Flame!”
The graphic showing the top two teams are shown.
Cookie: “But first, we have one more round of competition. People might be wondering why bother? We already know who’s going to make it to the finals. But this is wrestling, and there’s pride on the line. I’m told that Seduction, Dresser Boys, and Honourable Win all want to prove that they’re one of the top teams in the world. To do that, they’re going need to leave this tournament on a good note, right?”
The 5th Night Card is shown:
Dresser Boys [#5, 3pts] vs. Seduction [#3, 6pts]
Honourable Win [#4, 4pts] vs. The Pina Coladas [#1, 12pts]
Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos [#6, 1pt] vs. Lyza Reyes/Devin Brando [#2, 9pts]
Dresser Boys and Seduction are now shown on the screen.
Cookie: “Seduction is going to clash against the legendary Dresser Boys. Dresser Boys were the supposed favorites to win this match but that is not the case. Will they remind people why they’re a Hall of Fame caliber team? Or will Seduction put an exclamation mark at the end of this tournament?”
Honourable Win and Pina Coladas are shown next.
Cookie: “Also, Pina Coladas have the opportunity to run the gauntlet and go undefeated in the regular part of this tournament! EXCITING! But the opposing team doesn’t look so good. The last three nights have been ugly for Honourable Win, and Gable and Raab might have to straighten out their issues before they can function like a team.”
Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando is shown across from JaMarcus Avery and Faustina Santos.
Cookie: “And finally, Devin Brando scared Avery and Santos away, but in two weeks, they’re going to clash either way. Lyza and Devin are probably going to look to keep their momentum rolling into the finals and fight for a win here. Avery and Santos, they’re sore losers, so obviously they’re going to be up to no good.”
Cameras become fixated on Cookie again. She claps her hands together.
Cookie: “The fifth round is just two weeks away. Tune in on twitch.tv again and let’s have some more fun. See you then!”
The scene fades. A highlight reel of tonight’s top moments is shown before the SCW logo pops up on a black screen. The feed ends.
