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....”

 

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

We see a shot of a sunrise in the morning over the skyline of Boston. We then hear the sound of Asher Hayes.

 

Hayes: “Do you really think anything is going to change?”

 

We see a shot of Selena Frost, as Hakuri Keitaro, hitting Asher Hayes with the Glass Shard. We follow up by showing her unmasking before heading off. We see a shot of Kandis yelling at CHBK backstage.

 

Hayes: “Someone from the past…dragged up…heh….you think that can stop my Kismet?”

 

We see a shot of Asher Hayes holding the SCW World Championship after beating James Evans, Autumn Valentine, and Deanna Frost. Shots of Hayes fighting James Evans and then Autumn Valentine in the Chamber follow.

 

Hayes: “I literally climbed to the top of the ladder to get this!”

 

We see Hayes striking Kandis with multiple chair shots before showing Hayes standing on the top of the ladder, holding the SCW World Championship, smiling.

 

Hayes: “And you think anything has changed?! You walk away and come back?! Really?!”

 

Hayes can be heard laughing as we see a shot of Hayes hitting the Dust to Dust while Deanna attempts the Burnout, both clashing in the middle of the ring before showing Hayes winning.

 

Hayes: “I beat your wife. She couldn’t live up to it. And you…you think you can.”

 

Shots of the World Championship are shown before showing shots of Selena Frost holding the SCW World Championship over her head.

 

Hayes: “No one believes anymore, Selena! No one cares to!”

 

Hayes is then shown with the World Championship in the ring before showing him playing to the crowd on Breakdown.

 

Hayes: “Have your blow ups! Hate what things have become! But that’s what they’ve become! And nothing can change it. We’ve moved on!”

 

Shots of Selena frustrated in the ring are shown before showing her attacking Kandis in the ring, and then showing Selena Frost beating down Religious Wright.

 

Hayes: “And we will for good tonight, while my Kismet stays with me…and SCW should thank God about it! Believe it!”

 

Hayes is again shown holding the SCW World Championship as the scene fades out.

 

“When the Darkness Comes” by Jeris Johnson plays as we see a shot of the wrestling ring, before golden lights shine all around it and the camera spins around before panning over the Body, Heart, and Soul logo.

 

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents Body, Heart, and Soul 2024!”

 

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before we cut to the inside of the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots from the stage and into the air. The pyro display continues for a few moments before spotlights circle the crowd. The crowd cheers as cameras pan across them.

 

Sharper: “For the first time in 2024, Supreme Championship Wrestling welcomes you to pay per view and Body, Heart, and Soul in Beantown!”

 

More shots of fans follow before we cut to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce position.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to Boston. Pleasure to be here with you. I’m Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and well, Jon…a lot to get to.”

 

Knots: “How about the return of Selena Frost, officially, to an SCW ring after Rise to Greatness. Yeah, she was at End of the Year Special, but no one knew. And now she’s right at the top. Getting her rematch from Rise to Greatness. She challenges Asher Hayes and his Kismet tonight!”

 

Sharper: “That’s not all. Underground, Adrenaline and Tag Team Championships all on the line tonight. But in mere moments, we’re going to see two individuals meet…and one will be set on fire.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. We’ve been pushed back. And SCW is doing it. Kandis vs. Konrad Raab. Inferno match! What the hell!”

 

The ring is shown with three sides of the ring, surrounded by flames, the inferno match rails set up around the ring. The side facing the stage, at this point, remains unlit.

 

Kandis vs. Konrad Raab

Inferno Match

 

The opening of "Whore" by In This Moment fills the arena as red and pink lights swirl around...

{I'm the girl you've been thinking about, The one thing you can't live without
I'm the girl you've been waiting for
I'll have you down on your knees, I'll have you begging for more}

Kandis appears on the stage, a sultry smirk on her face as the crowd cheers. She turns and shows off her notorious rear end, swaying it back and forth.

 

Phillips: “The opening contest for Body, Heart, and Soul 2024 is an Inferno match. You win by setting your opponent on fire! First, on her way to the ring, from Santa Barbara, California, she is Kandis!”

{I can be, I can be your eve... ry... thing}

The lights dim as the music seems to pause a moment, then Kandis turns around, arms spread and feet wide apart as vocalist Maria Brink shouts:

{I CAN BE YOUR WHORE!}

Kandis starts down the ramp as the rest of the chorus continues, looking at the ring and the flames that surround it. She takes her time, nodding, coming to terms with the match. She then starts to head closer to the ring. The crowd then roars as we see Konrad Raab running out from the back. Kandis turns, hearing the roar of the crowd, but Konrad drills her with a running clothesline. Kandis hits the ground.

 

Sharper: “And Konrad Raab coming out from the back. Not even waiting for this match to begin.”

 

Knots: “Or for them to both be surrounded by the flames!

 

Sharper: “This is not just about a match. Konrad Raab wants to maim Kandis! To burn her!”

 

Kandis rolls over as the crowd boos and Konrad grabs her and pulls her up and nails her with a hard right. Kandis staggers and Konrad nails her again. She hits the mats. She gets up and Konrad grabs her and moves her to the side of the ring, placing her on top of the rail where the fire would come out. Konrad holds her down. Konrad yells at the crew member.

 

Raab: “Turn it on! Light it! LIGHT IT!”

 

Raab lets go and starts to move towards the crew member.

 

Sharper: “Raab trying to just engulf her in flames.”

 

Knots: “Now accosting the crew member. Everyone is in trouble here. This madman with all of this fire.”

 

Sharper: “That side remains open to let them into the ring.”

 

Raab walks over to a crew member and grabs them and holds them up by the collar. The crew member pleads before Raab throws them down. He then turns and starts to walk over toward the pyrotechnics overseer who is at ringside. He turns around and Kandis runs over and nails him with a kick to the ribs. Raab stumbles back to the barricade. Kandis then nails him with a hard right and then another and another and another. Kandis grabs Raab and snapmares him out. Raab rolls through and moves forward. Kandis then gets up and looks at him before running over and kicking him in the ribs. Raab rolls over. Kandis runs over and kicks him again. He moves to the steel steps. Kandis then turns and walks around before running back at Raab. She goes for a dropkick. Konrad moves out of the way. Kandis kicks the top half off.

 

Sharper: “Kandis trying to maybe knock Raab out. The dropkick missing and the top half of those steps coming off.”

 

Knots: “Raab just got out of the way.”

 

Kandis gets up and turns and Raab drops her with a European uppercut. Kandis hits the mat and rolls over. Raab then looks around before turning to look under the ring. He moves a few things around before grabbing a baseball bat. He smiles as he holds it up. The camera gets a good shot revealing a towel attached to it. Raab then looks at Kandis. Raab backs up and moves to one of the lit sides of the ring and places the bat into it. The bat is alit as the crowd roars. Raab looks at it, smiling and starts to walk back to Kandis.

 

Sharper: “My God! He’s set that bat on fire!”

 

Knots: “He had that planted for this!”

 

Sharper: “Planned to jump Kandis right from the start.”

 

Kandis looks up and Raab turns back and swings at her. She rolls back and out of the way. Konrad then steps forward and swings, but Kandis kicks him in the ribs. The bat flies forward into the rampway. Kandis then hits a shoot kick to the chest and a spinning back kick to the ribs. Raab falls back into the rail. Kandis gets up and runs into the ring, rolling in. She then backs up and tells Raab to get into the ring. Crew members put out the bat in the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “And Kandis has just said, screw this. She’s climbed in to the ring. Raab now to join her.”

 

Knots: “This is what you wanted, Konrad!”

 

Kandis looks at him.

 

Kandis: “Come on, or you are you a bitch!”

 

Raab then looks up and pulls himself onto the apron, stepping over the track and into the ring. The crowd roars. The bell sounds as quickly crew members go to light the remaining track. Raab steps up and swings. Kandis ducks and both spin around. Kandis hits a shoot kick to the chest and then another spinning back kick. Raab goes down and rolls toward the ropes. He then backs up and gets up and turns only for Kandis to hit a dropkick. Raab hits the mat and the flames shoot into the air.

 

Sharper: “And those flames – shooting into the air with the impact to the canvas.”

 

Knots: “Why you need to stay the hell away from them unless you want to be spending the night in a burn unit!”

 

Raab rolls over and Kandis mounts him, a few feet from the ropes, and hammers away on him with hard right hands. The crowd roars as Raab tries to fight her off, but Kandis gets shot after shot in. She gets up and walks around the ring. Raab rolls over, wincing and moves to the middle of the ring. He gets up and Kandis kicks him in the ribs and grabs him by the head. She then moves him toward the ropes and Raab pushes back on them. Kandis pushes down on his head and neck, trying to move his face closer and closer. The crowd roars as Raab inches closer before he elbows her in the ribs. Kandis lets go and stumbles back. Raab then looks up, anger in his eye. Kandis turns around and Raab lunges and hits a lunging European uppercut. Kandis hits the mat as the flames shoot up.

 

Knots: “Kandis was going to set Raab’s face on fire!”

 

Sharper: “These two hate each other. This match seen as a way to end this one way or another.”

 

Knots: “Yeah because someone’s career is on the line because of this! That’s fire, Sharper!”

 

Kandis rolls over and starts to get up and Raab watches before grabbing her and whipping her into the ropes. Kandis bounces off and Raab hits a huge back body drop. Kandis hits the mat as the flames shoot up again. Kandis rolls over and Raab stomps her in the face. Kandis rolls over. Raab stomps her again. Kandis rolls again toward the ropes. She reaches out before stopping herself. Raab then steps on her face and yells at her.

 

Raab: “Ready to be destroyed. No one will ever want to look at you again! You disgusting piece of shit!”

 

Raab stomps her again. Kandis rolls away from the ropes as Raab watches her and then nods before running into the ropes, bouncing off and hitting a sliding dropkick to the face. Kandis rolls closer to the ropes. The crowd roars as Konrad smiles and does the same running across again and going for a second sliding dropkick, but Kandis moves out of the way. Raab nearly slides into the fire. He then steps back and Kandis quickly hits a jawbreaker. Raab falls back into the ropes. He falls forward just as the flames shoot up, narrowly avoiding catastrophe. Raab slowly crawls away and Kandis grabs him by the head and plants him with a DDT.

 

Sharper: “And Raab nearly into the flames before instead being planted into the mat by a Kandis DDT.”

 

Knots: “But Kandis has him down in the middle of the ring. You want him by the ropes…why am I even saying this?!”

 

Sharper: “But you also want Konrad down. You know what he wants to do. You know he’ll do it in the most violent fashion he can consider.”

 

Kandis sits up and looks around, finally taking stock of the situation she is in. She then slowly gets up and turns to Raab and stomps him in the face. Raab rolls over. Kandis stomps him again. Kandis then walks around the ring before grabbing Konrad and pulling him up and running him over into the corner. Raab spins around and Kandis walks around the ring before turning and running at Raab and hitting a huge backsplash in the corner. Raab falls to the mat. Kandis walks around the ring. She then jumps up and hits a leg drop to the back of Raab’s head. The flames shoot up. Kandis looks around and then grabs Raab by the back of his top. She starts to drag him toward the ropes. The crowd looks on cheering. Kandis makes some headway, getting closer and closer. Raab then starts to fight back. She nails him with a hard right before Raab elbows Kandis in the ribs. Raab elbows her again and Kandis fires back. They each take some shorts before Raab reaches out and pulls on her hair and snapmares her down toward the flames. Kandis stops and rolls back as the flames shoots up. The crowd ohs. Raab then gets up and backs up before running at Kandis. Kandis dodges, but Raab instead handsprings into the ropes and jumps back, hitting the Fire Storm on Kandis in the middle of the ring. The crowd ohs and boos as flames shoot up again.

 

Sharper: “Raab deking out Kandis. Right into the Fire Storm.”

 

Knots: “And if she’s out…oh God. This is going to be bad for Kandis. The madman even handspringed into the ropes!”

 

Raab slowly rolls over and smiles sadistically at Kandis as he starts to get up. Kandis rolls over, wincing in pain. Raab gets up, admiring the moment he has before walking over and grabbing Kandis by the hair. He jerks her up, such that she’s on her knees.

 

Raab: “Want to beg?! That’s where you’re going? Two years I’ve wanted this…TWO YEARS!”

 

Raab then lifts her up and pulls her up before pushing her toward the ropes, but Kandis elbows him in the ribs once and then again before catching him in the jaw. Raab stumbles back toward the ropes. He then turns and Kandis lunges with a superkick. Raab falls back and up and over the top rope to the floor, narrowly missing the flames. The crowd ohs as the cameras check Konrad, but show that he’s not on fire. Kandis then stops and looks around, realizing she’s stuck in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Raab has gone up and over. Knocked out of the ring.”

 

Knots: “How is he not on fire?”

 

Sharper: “But now these two are separated! Kandis stuck in the ring!”

 

Kandis looks around as Raab rolls over, wincing in pain. Kandis moves to the ropes, but the fire keeps going up as Raab turns to the ring, holding his jaw. He then looks around.

 

Raab: “Bring it down! Let me at her!”

 

Raab turns and grabs the timekeeper before looking around. He quickly points out the pyrotechnics technician and Raab staggers over, leaning on the tables, still trying to recover from the superkick. Raab then storms over and grabs the technician. He yells at him as Kandis looks around and then looks at the ropes. She hesitates only for a second before then climbing up to the second ropes and then to the top rope. Raab grabs the technician by the collar and rears back to strike him. Kandis gets to the top rope as the crowd cheers more and more. Kandis then dives off and lands on the back of Raab. Raab and Kandis drop down to the mats as the technician is saved. The flames shoot up for good measure as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “And Kandis, not known for high-risk, especially with flames underneath, diving off the top rope!”

 

Knots: “She wanted them in the ring. We’re back outside of it. And Kandis taking the fight back to Raab. Saved the tech’s life too!”

 

Sharper: “Raab was trying to threaten our technician here to turn off the gas!”

 

Kandis rolls over in pain as Konrad does too. The crowd looks on as the fires still burn. Kandis crawls to the barricade and Konrad moves to the announce tables.

 

Knots: “Get away from here!”

 

Kandis then turns and runs at Konrad, but Konrad gets a European uppercut up. Kandis staggers back. The crowd ohs as she gets close to the flames. Konrad then nails her with a hard right and then another. Kandis teeters before Konrad smiles and backs up. He then goes for a clothesline. Kandis ducks. Konrad then stops right by the ring. He looks at the flames, almost entranced. But he then turns around and Kandis hits a straight kick to the chest. Konrad staggers and Kandis hits another one. Konrad falls back into the ring. The crowd roars as Konrad turns, pulling his arm away, but then turning as its clear his back in on fire. The crowd roars as Konrad spins around. He then stumbles around the ring. The bell sounds. Kandis looks on.

 

Sharper: “Konrad! Raab! He’s on fire! He’s on fire!”

 

Knots: “Oh God! Get back! Everyone get back from this nut!”

 

Sharper: “And Kandis has won it!”

 

Konrad takes a few more steps and spins around the steel steps. He grits his teeth before he drops down to the mats. Crew members rush in and put him out with fire extinguishers. The crowd looks on buzzing before “Whore” starts to play throughout the arena. Kandis looks around as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Konrad Raab set on fire by Kandis!”

 

Knots: “And look at that look on her face!”

 

Kandis just looks at Konrad before turning and looking at the crowd. She then starts to wave her arms to get them to cheer, leading to a roar from the crowd. She looks around as she then turns and goes to the steel steps. The flames go down to keep her safe as she looks around. Konrad Raab remains down, looking down, clearly seething as Kandis celebrates and the scene fades to black.

 

We hear the sounds of birds chirping and water rushing in on a beach.

 

“KABLAAAAAAAAAM!”

 

The sound of a xylophone scale is heard.

 

We see a shot of Derek Adonis stepping out of his bedroom’s French doors and taking a deep breath of the outdoors.

 

Welcome to the land that loves below the belt

The sky’s are clear and pleasure is felt

Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

 

Shots of men and women smiling and walking the grounds of KABLAMia are shown before showing a shot of the beautiful tropical weather and a shot of smiling staffmembers, ushering those in KABLAMia to their hedonistic pleasures.

 

Where fun-loving people can give right in

To a Man Mountain utopia where everyone wins

Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

 

Derek Adonis is shown smiling with guests, while wrapping his arms around two smiling women. Shots of massage therapy, yoga, and meditation centres are shown.

 

Sweet Sangria always dressed in smile

Many men and women will go the extra mile

Come in KABLAMia, come in KABLAMia

 

Sweet Sangria wearing a risqué bathing suit is shown before showing several couples of a variety of sexual persuasions smiling, comfortable with one another.

 

The lube flows freely, never enough

It’s a copyrighted formula, the right stuff

But even still they make you feel right at home

Whether you love cleaning the carpet or polishing chrome

 

Shots of the Derek Adonis Lube is shown before showing several attractive men and women in a science lab working on the formula. We then see shots of men and women, old or young, fit or not, all engaged in happy interactions, lying in bed with one another and in the throes of passion, although never showing anything graphic.

 

We don’t kink-shame here, it never allowed

It’s a comfortable place while you’re being plowed

Your greatest dreams are always on tap

Your can register now with our convenient app

 

Shots of BDSM dungeons, to swinger’s parties, to economic humiliation is shown acted out before showing a shot of the KABLAMia app on a phone. The app remains on the screen for a few moments, showcasing some of the features, including KABLAMurgency services, and Lube ordering.

 

That’s right, KABLAM is expanding…

 

We then see a shot of the KABLAM industries logo before cutting to a shot of Derek Adonis sitting at the edge of a bed, looking off in the distance proudly.

 

It’s the dream of Derek Adonis

Come in KABLAMia, summy KABLAMian

We mean YOU!

 

We see a shot of several women, including Sweet Sangria, fawning over him before we cut to a shot of the silhouette of KABLAMia.

 

KABLAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

 

The official logo of KABLAMia comes up on the screen.

 

“This has been a paid presentation of KABLAM industries and the KABLAMia Tourism board. We really want you to come to and come in KABLAMia!”

 

The scene fades to black.

 

We return live in Boston inside the TD Garden where chants of “KABLAM!” can be heard.

 

Knots: “We’re now going to be sued by Looney Tunes!”

 

Sharper: “Well…the new tourist advertisement…”

 

Knots: “The place exists?!”

 

Sharper: “Apparently so.”

 

Knots: “Well…maybe…”

 

Sharper: “Jon?”

 

Knots: “Nothing…Nothing!”

 

Sharper: “And meanwhile, backstage…Konrad Raab being told to get medical attention…”

 

We cut backstage and we see Konrad Raab swinging and knocking down an official before turning and grabbing another by the throat. Ginny Raab is on the scene.

 

Ginny: “Konrad! Konrad! You need to let them see you!”

 

Konrad ignores her as he winces and pushes the official against the wall.

 

Ginny: “Konrad! Stop! Do you want to risk your racing career too?!”

 

Konrad stops and looks down, clearly showing some sense of pain as he lets go. Konrad turns as Ginny motions to the examination table where we see the trainer and medic standing by with EMTs now in place to be sure.

 

“The Devil Incarnate” Kevin Hunter vs. “Bam Bam” David Striker

 

“Man in the Box” by Like a Storm plays as David Striker walks out from the back and scans the arena, taking in the feeling of his first SCW pay-per-view appearance. He nods to himself after a moment before he begins heading down to the ring.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, he is… ‘Bam Bam’ David Striker!

The crowd applauds a bit as Striker heads to the ring and slides into the ring. He gets up to a knee and looks around before getting up to his feet. He then turns and runs into the ropes, before sticking his upper body under and out from the top rope, getting a louder reaction.

Sharper: “Two of the newest members of the SCW roster set to make their pay-per-view debuts tonight against one another, all because of an altercation they got into backstage on the last Breakdown.”

Knots: “Striker here was doing some scouting and literally got punched in the mouth for it. No better time to get some payback than when the lights are brightest!”

“Now That We're Dead” by Metallica hits and out from the back steps Kevin Hunter. He stands atop the entrance ramp and stares out at the crowd, who give him a lukewarm reception. His eyes then lock in on David Striker before he heads to the ring.

Phillips: “His opponent, from Davenport, Iowa, he is The Devil Incarnate… Kevin Hunter!”

Hunter walks up the ring steps and goes across the apron, pausing only when Striker starts to close the distance as the referee tries to hold him back. Hunter smirks and slowly steps into the ring before catching Striker in the face with a sucker punch! Striker stumbles back against the ropes as the referee admonishes Hunter, but he shrugs it off and rushes Striker before pummeling him with forearm shots and clubbing blows. The referee shakes his head before signaling for the bell to officially start this match. Hunter forces Striker down until his throat is draped across the second rope, where he starts driving his knee into Striker’s back and shoulders to push his throat against it in a choke. The referee quickly jumps in and starts counting, with Hunter breaking at the count of four and giving the referee a smug grin before he slides out of the ring on the adjacent side. Hunter eyes Striker as he’s left draped over the middle rope, trying to catch his breath, before he rounds the corner and leaps up to dropkick Striker in the side of the head! The fans boo a bit as Hunter sits on the apron, soaking it in.

Sharper: “Kevin Hunter’s on top here in the early going, all thanks to that cheap shot he caught Striker with just like the one he pulled on Breakdown.”

Knots: “I’d say he’s making his point loud and clear at Striker’s expense. Why scout for potential opponents when you can just make things happen yourself!”

Hunter takes his time stepping back into the ring as Striker slowly gets back to his feet, trying to get his bearings. Once he’s back on his feet, Hunter grabs him before connecting with a backbreaker. He lets Striker writhe in pain for a moment before pulling him up into a chinlock, making sure to really wrench on it as the referee checks in with him. Striker refuses to submit, however, trying to get his feet back under him only for Hunter to stun him with a crossface strike before reapplying the chinlock and wrenching on it even more. The referee checks in again as the camera pans in close enough that we can hear Hunter talking trash.

Hunter: “I told you on Breakdown… all I see in you is a stepping stone. Do yourself a favor and just give up already.”

Striker manages to growl out a “no,” refusing to submit despite Hunter’s request. Realizing that this is starting to get him nowhere, he wrenches on the chinlock one more time before pulling Striker back to his feet while keeping the hold applied. He transitions into lifting Striker onto his shoulders in a torture rack, but whatever he has planned is thwarted as Striker kicks his legs to keep Hunter from getting a good grip on him before he rolls off his shoulders and lands on his feet behind him. Striker connects with an elbow smash to the back of the head, but Hunter seems to absorb the blow before catching Striker in the face with a back elbow! Striker stumbles back as Hunter turns and catches him with two quick punches to the face before landing a shoot kick to the chest. He tries to continue the combo with a spinning backfist, but Striker manages to duck underneath it! Undaunted, Hunter still tries to finish the combo with a lariat, but Striker ducks this as well before running off the ropes, catching Hunter as he turns with a yakuza kick! Hunter tries to scramble back to his feet, staggering a bit in his haste because of the kick, and Striker seizes the opening with a gamengiri that floors him again!

Sharper: “Striker now, finding an opening to start turning things around and he’s giving Hunter the fight he was looking for now!”

Knots: “Hunter maybe trying to get a little too fancy there, perhaps a little too comfortable with the advantage he had going for him, and now it’s coming back to bite him!”

Hunter pulls himself back to his feet, but before he can really get his bearings, Striker smashes him in the face with a shotei palm thrust! Hunter stumbles back into the corner as Striker measures him, nodding to himself as he feels the momentum shift before he charges in and uses the ropes to step up into a running enzuigiri that drops Hunter into a seated position. Striker quickly runs across the ring, bouncing off the turnbuckles like a pinball before he rushes in with a full head of steam and clobbers Hunter with a double knee smash! He grabs Hunter’s ankle and pulls him out of the corner before going for a pin, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Kevin Hunter kicks out just as the two count is made! Striker is undeterred as he grabs Hunter by the ankle again and turns him over into an ankle lock, dragging him to the center of the ring! Hunter grunts in pain as he reaches out for the ropes, but they’re nowhere close. The referee checks in with him, but Hunter yells out his refusal to submit as he fights to try and get his free leg back under him. He manages to do so, which leads to him rolling forward and using the momentum to free himself from the ankle lock while throwing Striker off and through the ropes! Striker ends up on the apron but quickly pulls himself up and tries to climb back in, only for Hunter to kick the middle rope up into his chest to stun him! Clutching at his ankle for a moment, Hunter takes a second to try and stretch it out before he grabs Striker in a front facelock and pulls him through the ropes unto his feet are hanging on the middle rope, allowing him to plant Striker with what he calls the Haunting DDT! Hunter rolls him over and pulls him away from the ropes before going for the pin.

1!

2!

David Striker kicks out!

Sharper: “Just when it seemed like Striker was taking firm control of this match, Hunter finds a way to swing the momentum back in his favor.”

Knots: “Both of these men are hungry to make a great first pay-per-view impression and potentially send a message to the rest of the locker room. It’s just a question of who’s hungrier right now.”

Hunter looks irritated that Striker is still in this match as he rises back to his feet, circling around him before he slowly puts the boots to him with a Garvin Stomp, wincing slightly each time as his ankle is still tender from the ankle lock. Once he’s finished, he hauls Striker back to his feet before irish whipping him into the corner, following after him with a clothesline. He grabs Striker by the hair and says something to him before hoisting him up onto the top turnbuckle and following after him, hooking him for a potential superplex. Striker tries to fight him off, however, with multiple uppercuts to the sternum followed by elbow strikes to the head once Hunter’s grip has been loosened. Hunter wobbles but refuses to fall, so Striker fixes that as he clocks him in the jaw with the Texas Smash, finally sending Hunter crashing back to the mat below! Striker takes a moment to steady himself before looking out at the fans starting to cheer him on before he slowly brings his arms up to extend both pointer fingers to the sky and leaps off with a beautiful flying elbow drop that connects right on the heart of Hunter! Striker remains on top of him for the cover.

1!

2!

Kevin Hunter gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “And the momentum shifts once again! Striker averting disaster before connecting with that picture perfect elbow drop for a two count!”

Knots: “Hunter’s been at this for a long time from what we understand, so he’s definitely got the experience to figure out how to keep himself in this fight.”

Striker gets back to his feet, measuring a slow-rising Hunter as he tries to figure out what might keep The Devil Incarnate down for the count. Once Hunter’s upright, he slowly turns around and eats another Texas Smash to the jaw! He staggers a bit before suddenly responding with a hard right hand of his own! The two men start to go back and forth, trading forearm strikes now as the fans root them on, eager to see who will come out of this exchange with the edge. It seems like Striker will prevail as one forearm strike of his is enough to cause Hunter to turn away from him, opening the door for him to try and follow up with the Deadly Rave, but Hunter manages to duck it! Striker turns and gets caught with the Devil’s Kiss headbutt that drops him! Hunter staggers for a moment, taking the chance to get his bearings as Striker lays in a heap on the mat. Seeing where he’s at, Hunter backs into the corner before he slowly ascends to the top turnbuckle, measuring his victim before leaping off for the Devil Invader! Striker manages to roll out of the way, but Hunter rolls through after stomping nothing but the mat. He rushes at Striker, but is surprised as Striker pops him up into a gutwrench german suplex! The fans are on their feet at the impressive display of strength as Striker feeds off of the energy, willing himself back to his feet before he pulls Hunter into position and starts ascending to the top turnbuckle himself. He takes a few moments to steady himself, still feeling the effects of that nasty headbutt he ate, but he fights through it and tries to give Hunter a receipt in the form of Viva la BAM! Hunter, however, manages to push himself up just enough that he catches the falling Striker in midair with the Buried Alive! He slowly manages to roll them both over and drapes an arm over Striker’s chest for the cover.

David Striker throws his shoulder up!

Sharper: “An absolutely incredible sequence of events there! Striker showing off some impressive strength, and Hunter responding by catching him in midair with the Buried Alive!”

Knots: “Striker’s not out of this fight yet though, but both guys are really making the most of this opportunity!”

The fans are roaring as Hunter slowly pushes himself up, glaring at the referee and not looking too pleased that he hasn’t been able to put Striker away yet. He grabs Striker by the hair and slowly starts pulling him up, motioning that he’s going to put an end to this match here and now. Whatever he had planned, however, is cut off as Striker suddenly picks Hunter’s leg with an imanari roll before trying to chain it into the Razed in Black! Hunter does everything he can to keep Striker from getting the submission fully locked in, including using what little movement he has with his trapped leg to stomp down a few times on Striker’s face. This allows for enough separation to pull his leg free, but that’s all Striker allows him to do before trying to get the triangle choke cinched in regardless. Once it seems like he’s almost got it, Hunter shows off some of his own strength as he manages to lift Striker off the ground in a powerbomb position before shifting him into a fireman’s carry. He yells out that this match ends now before attempting to go for the Killer Effect, but Striker manages to push himself off Hunter’s shoulders and land behind him. Just as Hunter turns around, Striker quickly grabs him before connecting with the Death Penalty! He goes for the cover, getting a deep hook on the leg as the referee counts.

The bell rings and "Man in the Box" by Like a Storm hits again. Striker slowly pulls himself back to his feet, looking dazed and battered but smiling as the referee raises his arm in victory.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… David Striker!”

Sharper: “What a showing from both of these fine athletes, putting their best on full display to show the SCW fans and locker room exactly what they’re capable of!”

Knots: “Hunter may have gotten the jump on him, but Striker found a way to power through everything he had to throw at him. One opening later, and the Death Penalty sealed the deal.”

Sharper: “Regardless of the outcome, both of these men have bright futures ahead of them here in SCW, that’s for sure.”

Striker walks around the ring with his arms raised, celebrating his victory. After a moment, he climbs out of the ring and starts heading up the ramp as Hunter starts to stir, noticing Striker walking away as his music plays and growling to himself in frustration.

 

Backstage, the scene opens up to show Jessica Winters outside of the locker room of Selena Frost. The crowd boos seeing the nameplate.

 

Winters: “Jessica Winters here, outside of the locker room of the challenger to the SCW World Championship tonight, Selena Frost. And I have attempted to get a word with Selena while also trying to get further information about her attack on Religious Wright on Breakdown. But, she has refused to give me any access. Our knocks have gone unheeded and she has no desire to apparently talk to our cameras or to her fans.”

 

Winters pauses.

 

Winters: “That said, it will be a unique scene when she heads to the ring later tonight to challenge Asher Hayes. We are in Boston and it’s always a rowdy and raucous crowd. And we’ll see whether that plays any role in tonight’s World Championship match. Back to ringside.”

 

The scene cuts away.

 

Gavin Taylor vs. Kelsai Adamson

 

The familiar riffs of Nickelback's "Savin Me" begins and soon Kelsai Adamson appears at the top of stage. She takes a moment to look out at the fans, nodding to herself and trying to pump herself up for this before she starts heading down the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana… Kelsai Adamson!”

As she walks down the aisle toward the ring she soaks in the reaction from the crowd, one of the cameras catching her telling herself that she’s earned this and she can prove she deserves a proper shot at the World Championship. Getting into the ring, a smile starts to form on her lips as she looks around at the crowd once more.

Sharper: “Kelsai Adamson tied in the fan voting for the World Title opportunity at the End of the Year Special and ended up falling short against Deanna Frost in the match to break that tie. She put up a valiant effort on that night, but you can tell her confidence was rattled a bit by that loss.”

Knots: “Well, she has Chance Owens to thank for suggesting she take a shot at Gavin Taylor to try and get back on track, and it’s hard to argue with some of the points he made. Whether or not Kelsai can focus enough to score that much-needed win over Gavin to turn things around, however, remains to be seen.”

The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.

Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show

And the song continues...

The crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, posing with his arms outstretched, the chorus of the song plays.

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

Phillips: “Her opponent, currently residing in Los Angeles, California, he is The All-Star… Gavin Taylor!”

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp with swagger. He smirks as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope.

The song continues...

I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over you self for my spot
I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not
I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught

Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He opens his jersey, sliding it off his shoulders as he stretches his arms out. Turning around, he bounces back off the ropes as he locks eyes with Kelsai.

Sharper: “Gavin Taylor returned in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal last year and put on a hell of a performance. Since then, however, it feels like the high hopes for his return have diminished following those two crucial losses against Simon Lyman.”

Knots: “He’s definitely been struggling as of late, but he really got heated from Chance and Kelsai’s implications that he’d be an easy rebound win for her. If 2024 is going to be the year he finally achieves everything he’s after, then it needs to start tonight by proving Kelsai wrong.”

The bell rings and both competitors approach one another. They go to lock up, but Kelsai ducks underneath and does a go-behind into a rear waistlock. Before she can even think of trying anything, however, Gavin does a standing switch and ends up getting her in a rear waistlock now, which he proceeds to use to bring her to the mat with an amateur-style takedown. He floats over into a front facelock, flattening himself out and using his size advantage to try and grind Kelsai down here in the early going of this match. The referee checks with Kelsai, but she’s not going to submit to this as she starts working her way back up to her feet. Gavin, however, maintains the front facelock and uses it to plant her into the mat with a DDT. He holds on to the front facelock and brings Kelsai back to her feet before lifting her up and dropping her with a vertical suplex. He looks down at her before brushing his shoulder, flashing the crowd a confident smirk.

Sharper: “Gavin dominating the early going here and you can see some of the confidence that feels like it’s been missing as of late from him.”

Knots: “He took a lot of offense to Kelsai and Chance implying that he’s any sort of rebound for her after the End of the Year Special, and a win here would definitely tell the world that maybe 2024 is finally the year of the All-Star!”

Kelsai makes it back to her feet, but Gavin catches her with a european uppercut that backs her against the ropes. He proceeds to irish whip her across the ring and catches her for a tilt-a-whirl, but before he can do anything with it Kelsai manages to get some extra rotation out of it before planting him with a DDT! She gets back to her feet, taking a moment to get her bearings before she sees Gavin starting to get back up as well. Once he’s back to a vertical base, she’s quick to catch him in the face with a dropkick! Gavin hits the mat and tries to get right back up, but he ends up eating a second dropkick for his troubles. He gets back up again but gets caught with a third dropkick, and this one sends him rolling out to the floor to recover as the fans cheer. Gavin looks annoyed but takes a moment to shake it off and regain his focus. As he turns to re-enter the ring, however, Kelsai is in motion and catches him in the face with a baseball slide that knocks him into the barricade!

Sharper: “Kelsai starting to build some momentum now, and that could mean bad things for Gavin here.”

Knots: “An argument could be made for Kelsai being one of the fastest wrestlers on the SCW roster today, and with some momentum in her favor this could start to spiral out of control very quickly for the All-Star.”

Gavin pulls himself together as he uses the barricade for support in getting his feet back under him. Once he does, he turns to find Kelsai crouched on the apron, measuring him before she leaps off and tries to spike him into the floor with a tornado DDT! Gavin, however, plants his feet and manages to keep Kelsai suspended before he spins her back around and readjusts to plant her with a spinebuster! The fans wince and groan at the impact as Kelsai gasps out in pain, but Gavin gives her little reprieve as he helps her up enough to throw her back into the ring before sliding in himself, catching Kelsai as she tries to pull herself back to her feet with a swinging neckbreaker! Gavin goes for the cover.

Kelsai Adamson kicks out! Gavin is undeterred as he pulls her up enough to apply an abdominal stretch, making sure to apply as much torque to her abs and midsection as possible. The referee checks to see if Kelsai gives up but she refuses, which leads to Gavin telling the referee to back off so he can ask her if she still thinks he isn’t owed anything. She doesn’t respond, which leads to him applying even more torque to the stretch to get a pained yell out of her. The referee checks with her once again, but Gavin once again asks the referee to back off so she can answer his question first. He ends up letting his focus slip just enough because of this that Kelsai manages to twist around and turn his stretch into a small package pin!

Gavin Taylor kicks out! He immediately tries to catch Kelsai with a forearm as they both get back to their feet, but Kelsai ducks it and runs off the ropes before clocking him as he turns with a flying forearm smash of her own!

Sharper: “Gavin perhaps getting a little too sure of himself with that abdominal stretch and it gave Kelsai the opening she needed to regain control of this match.”

Knots: “The fact that she’s not as quick to follow up as she normally would is a sign that she’s definitely hurting though. That spinebuster out on the floor certainly did a good job in slowing her down a bit.”

Sharper: “She’s bought herself some time, though. Gavin’s wounded pride is certainly doing him no favors to stop that.”

Kelsai rises to her feet, clutching at her back as she grits her teeth and tries to fight through the pain. She sees Gavin also getting back to his feet, with him being the quicker of the two because of the damage to Kelsai’s back. He throws a wild knife edge chop at her, but Kelsai ducks it before catching him as he turns with a step-up enzuigiri! Gavin ends up staggering into the corner, grabbing the top rope to keep himself on his feet as Kelsai measures him before rushing in, managing to take him out of the corner with a monkey flip! Kelsai pulls herself back up but finds herself unable to follow up as her back is beginning to bother her again, which allows Gavin to recover and try to rush her in the corner only to eat a boot for his troubles. Trying to shake it off, Kelsai pulls herself up to the second turnbuckle before grabbing Gavin’s head and finally landing that tornado DDT! She scrambles into a cover.

Gavin Taylor throws his shoulder up!

Sharper: “Kelsai getting a two count off of that tornado DDT, but you can still see her trying to fight through the damage done from that spinebuster.”

Knots: “A bad back hinders a high-flyer so much in so many ways. That was a smart call on Gavin’s part because it may be the only reason he’s still in this match.”

Kelsai grimaces as she pulls herself back to her feet, trying to figure out what she can still throw at Gavin without hurting herself too badly. She doesn’t get long to think as she sees Gavin pulling himself up with the ropes, which leads her to move in and kick him in the gut to stun him. She applies a front facelock and starts to swing her leg for a snap DDT, but Gavin manages to push her away. She moves in to try it again, but Gavin once again shoves her back before using the ropes to gain a little bit of momentum to rush her with a flying forearm smash of his own, but Kelsai manages to duck it! Gavin scrambles back to his feet and turns only to eat a roundhouse kick to the side of the head! He stumbles back into the ropes, only to do a pendulum rebound motion in them before blasting a surprised Kelsai in the face with a running yakuza kick! A few fans can’t help but applaud it as Gavin moves to the nearest camera and gives it a close-up of his face.

Gavin: “How’s that for a rebound?”

He smirks before moving to get back into the action, grabbing Kelsai as she starts to stir and pulling her up so he can plant her into the mat with a big sidewalk slam! Kelsai cries out in agony as her back is targeted once again, and it doesn’t get better for her as Gavin rolls her over before applying a sleeper hold, pulling her up into an almost camel clutch position as he sits on her lower back while trying to put her to sleep. Kelsai can clearly be seen wincing and cringing from the pain coursing through her back as she reaches out for the ropes only to find they’re nowhere near. The referee asks her if she wants to submit, but she refuses, only making Gavin wrench a bit harder on the sleeper.

Sharper: “Kelsai is in a bad way right now, that damaged back having to support Gavin’s weight as he tries to put her to sleep.”

Knots: “People get so caught up on Gavin’s immense self-confidence and antics that they often forget he knows what he’s doing in that ring. And right now, Kelsai’s getting a crash course on the in-ring strategy that made Gavin Taylor the All-Star he is.”

Gavin keeps wrenching on the sleeper as Kelsai looks like she’s starting to fade in his grip. The referee checks with her again, only to get no response this time. He raises her arm and drops it, but she does manage to keep it up to the delight of the fans as she tries to feed off of their support to find a way out of this hold. She squirms, trying to loosen Gavin’s grip enough to get her knees back under her, but Gavin’s weight on her back is clearly a great hindrance to her. She still manages it at least, which leads to Gavin releasing the sleeper to try and jump up and drive his weight down into her back. Kelsai, however, manages to slide herself back and out of the way to avoid this before surprising Gavin with a roll-up!

Gavin Taylor kicks out! They both rise and Kelsai throws another roundhouse kick, but Gavin ducks this one and shoves her forward as she spins around, causing her to connect with the turnbuckle chestfirst. She turns around just in time to catch a running back elbow from Gavin that crushes her in the corner! He grabs her by the wrist and pulls her out of the corner into a short-arm spinning spinebuster! Gavin goes for the cover.

Kelsai Adamson gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Kelsai showing just how much fight she still has left in her, but Gavin keeps returning to the back to try and keep Kelsai down for the count.”

Knots: “A win for either of them would be huge to really get the ball rolling in this new year, and while Kelsai would love to bounce back from the End of the Year Special, Gavin’s very determined to show the world that he’s still a viable option for potential future World Title consideration.”

Gavin gets up to his knees, looking down at Kelsai and trying to figure out what might be able to finish her off. He seems to come up with an answer as he grabs her by the head and brings them both back to their feet before he clubs her in the back, doubling her over for good measure before he lifts her up for the Highlight of the Night. Kelsai, however, squirms and does her best to try and slip free, causing Gavin to stumble over to the nearest corner where Kelsai finally manages to get out of his grasp, landing on the turnbuckles. Gavin turns and Kelsai boots him in the face to create some separation before carefully steadying herself, gritting her teeth as her back starts to become an issue again. She manages to fight through the pain, though, and leaps off to catch Gavin with a beautiful missile dropkick! Gavin hits the mat and immediately uses the momentum to roll out to the floor, depriving Kelsai of a chance to try and follow up with a pin. Kelsai looks frustrated over this turn of events as she crawls over to that side of the ring, watching as Gavin slowly tries to get back to his feet using the apron. She carefully climbs through the ropes onto the apron as Gavin finally gets his feet under him again, but leaning on the apron comes back to bite him as Kelsai crushes his head against it with an axe kick! Gavin staggers back, clutching at his head, as Kelsai positions herself and looks back to make sure Gavin’s lined up before she takes a deep breath and springboards into an asai moonsault onto the All-Star!

Sharper: “Kelsai going high risk and she’s got Gavin Taylor in a bad way right now!”

Knots: “She has to get him back in the ring to pin him, though, and I don’t know how well she can haul his dead weight around after what he’s done to her back all match!”

Kelsai pulls herself up as the referee counts both of them out, face contorted in pain as she clutches at her back once more. She manages to slide into the ring, which the referee acknowledges before continuing to count Gavin out. Kelsai looks to see him struggling to his feet, but it’s looking more and more clear that he very well may not beat the count. She considers just taking the countout win, but shakes her head and rolls back out to the floor to reset the count as she grabs Gavin by the head and helps him back up just so she can throw him back into the ring. Kelsai slowly pulls herself back onto the apron, measuring Gavin as he rises while trying to stretch out her back a bit for whatever she’s planning. Gavin finally gets back to his feet as Kelsai tries to leap up into a springboard, but her feet barely leave the apron before her back seizes up on her. Gritting her teeth and digging deep, she tries again and this time starts to springboard off the top rope, but the delay gave Gavin too much time to recover as he throws a Dependable Roundhouse that sweeps Kelsai’s legs out from under her and causes her to crash gutfirst across the top rope! The fans groan at the impact as Kelsai remains draped there, which gives Gavin the opening he needs to hit a slightly more elevated version of the Cubic Zirconium Cutter! He rolls Kelsai over and goes for the pin.

Kelsai gets her foot on the bottom rope! The fans are roaring as Gavin looks shocked that Kelsai is still in this match. He slowly backs away from her, trying to shake this off and measure her as she struggles to get back up. Once she’s to her knees, Gavin runs off the ropes and tries to catch her with the All-Starmaker, but Kelsai manages to duck and grab his leg, rolling him up into a calf crusher! She pulls back as best as she can while Gavin yells out in pain, fingertips grazing the bottom rope as Kelsai tries to scoot them closer to the center of the ring. The referee checks with Gavin, but he refuses to submit. Kelsai tries to lean back as much as she can to apply more pressure on Gavin’s knee, but it’s painfully clear her back is limiting how much leverage she’s able to get on this hold, which ultimately allows Gavin to reach out and grab the bottom rope! Kelsai immediately lets go of the hold, both competitors down on the mat and trying to recover as the fans roar in approval.

Sharper: “This has been an incredible battle from both of these fine athletes, but the wear and tear is starting to really sink in now.”

Knots: “I’d give the edge to Gavin because of the damage he’s done to Kelsai’s back, but all the credit in the world to her for finding a way to keep fighting through it.”

Kelsai slowly crawls over to the corner as Gavin remains down, clutching at his calf as he tries to stretch it out. Kelsai finally manages to get back to her feet and looks back, seeing Gavin in a prime position as he tries to recover from the calf crusher, before she takes a deep breath and yells through the pain as she attempts The Double Shot, but Gavin rolls towards the corner to avoid it! Kelsai manages to land on her feet but almost buckles from the extra pressure the landing put on her back, and that leaves her wide open for Gavin to surge to his feet and clobber her with the Gavin Taylor Lariat!

Knots: “Gavin! Taylor! Lariat!”

Sharper: “Kelsai went for The Double Shot, but Gavin had it scouted!”

Gavin nods to himself as he climbs back to his feet, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he grabs Kelsai by the head and hauls her to her feet before he lifts her up and this time manages to connect with the Highlight of the Night, popping Kelsai into the air for some extra impact on the landing! He goes for the cover, hooking both legs just to be sure.

The bell rings as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster hits again as Gavin rolls off of Kelsai and rises to his feet, nodding to himself once more as he holds his arm out for the referee to raise in victory.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Gavin Taylor!”

Sharper: “Take nothing away from Kelsai Adamson because she put up one hell of a fight, but Gavin Taylor hit that spinebuster out on the floor early in this match and made sure it hindered Kelsai all match long.”

Knots: “A sound strategy from the All-Star to pick up a much-needed win to put his name back on the map. I’m calling it now: 2024 is Gavin Taylor’s year and this is only the beginning!”

Gavin looks down at Kelsai as she’s still down but starting to stir, nodding to her for her effort before he climbs out of the ring and begins heading up the ramp, pausing only to once again look into the camera closest to him.

Gavin: “I’m no rebound, I’m the All-Star baby! 2024… we’re just getting started!”

Gavin leaves the camera behind as we watch him keep heading up the ramp, raising both arms in celebration as he nods along to his theme song.

 

We hear majestic music playing we see Deanna Frost and Selena Frost riding horses, Deanna’s brown, while Selena’s is white. They move forward before Deanna stops as Selena pulls out a old-timey map.

 

Selena: “Hmmm…should be…right around-“

 

Deanna: “That it?”

 

The camera turns to show a very obvious shot of the Gateway Arch with St. Louis and the surrounding metropolis around it. We hear the sound of a ball being hit in Busch Gardens before showing a shot of people walking downtown, and a shot of the Missouri Botanical Gardens. We then cut to see Selena and Deanna now coming down the street on their horses before Selena steps off and looks up. The camera turns to show the Dome at America’s Center.

 

Selena: “So this is where we need to go?”

 

Deanna: “Looks like it.”

 

Selena: “Let’s just hope everything is in one piece.”

 

Deanna: “If not, you’ve got another main event in you, right?”

 

Selena and Deanna head over to the building before we cut to shots of Selena Frost standing as World Champion at Rise to Greatness, before showing shots of Syren coming to the ring, Gavin Taylor hitting a Gavin Taylor Lariat, Kandis posing with Tommy Valentine, and Adam Allocco posing in the ring. The Rise to Greatness XXI logo comes up on the screen.

 

Rise to Greatness XXI

July 28, 2024

St. Louis, Missouri

 

The scene slowly fades to black.

 

The Playgirls vs. Team Desire vs. European Fiery Nation

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a triple threat tag team match!”

“Off To War” by Behemoth plays over the sound system with the lights being dark as ever as Ginny in the middle, Ludvig on the left and Dakon on the right-hand sides, looking at the crowd and got heavy boos. When the lights briefly came back on, you see Dakon, Ludvig and Ginny waving their Norway, Sweden, and German flags.

Phillips: “Making their way to the ring, accompanied by Ginny Raab, coming from Sweden, Norway and Germany, they are Ludvig Eriksson and Dakon Theron known as The European Fiery Nation.”

They walked down to the ring with their flags and stepped on the stairs and did a hold-up in the middle of the ring as they gave their flags to Ginny. When the lights returned, Ludvig and Dakon waited for their opponents to enter the ring.

Sharper: “This match is exactly what Konrad and the rest of the European Fiery Nation wanted. They wanted violence. They wanted to be able to use weapons, and they got it.”

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot and then the words “START GAME” show up on SCW’s Jumbotron. A bunch of girls can be heard giggling before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched begins to play.

Phillips: “And introducing the first of their opponents. On their way to the ring, they are the Playgirls, Colleen and Aisling!”

The music plays for quite some time and it is not until it comes to the first chorus that Colleen and Aisling walk out from behind, wearing matching pantsuits. They look around before starting to head to the ring. Colleen looks on focused as Aisling plays to the crowd a bit. They make their walk down the ramp. Colleen and Aisling reach the ring and slide in. They get to their feet and raise their arms overhead. Colleen and Aisling walks around the ring.

The arena lights dim down and pink light shine on the stage. “Psycho” by Ava Max plays as The Queen of Queens and Goddess of Desire Katie Steward steps out on the stage. She walks her beautiful white and gold religious ring robe that is pope like and spins around in a circle showing it off the crowd. Giovanna Steward follows behind her wearing her leather spiked “Brat Club” jacket and a black bandana covering the lower half of her face. TJ Johnson walks out onto the stage with Katie and the two nod to on another before Katie continues her walk to the ring with her arms out and his hands at shoulder length while Gigi follows behind.

Phillips: “And lastly, accompanied by TJ Johnson, both from Los Angeles, California, they are the team of Gigi and Katie Steward, Team Desire!”

Katie walks around the ring and Gigi rolls under the bottom rope. Katie walks up the ring steps carefully and across the apron. TJ runs up after her and holds open the ropes for her to enter the ring. Katie walks to the center of the ring and she disrobes for the crowd. She shows off her wrestling attire. TJ takes her robe and exits the ring and Katie to her corner.

The cameras show Konrad and Ginny on the outside, before showing Ludvig, Gigi, and Colleen in the ring, with Dakon, Katie, and Aisling in their respective corners. The ref then calls for the bell. Colleen and Gigi look at one another before nodding and charging at Ludvig. Ludvig charges as well, but Gigi connects with a spinning heel kick.

Ludvig hits the mat but gets back up, only for Colleen to hit him with a clothesline, taking him over the top rope. Colleen then turns only for Gigi to connect with a running knee.

Sharper: “Gigi and Colleen working together to take Ludvig out of the equation, but that alliance didn’t last very long.”

Knots: “Nope. Gigi, proving to be a Steward, hit her with that running knee to the face.”

Gigi goes for a quick cover, while Katie can be seen cheering her on from the ring apron.

Dakon charges in and breaks up the pin. Dakon grabs Gigi and connects with a European uppercut, before kicking a rising Colleen in the side of the head. Dakon grabs Gigi once again and plants her with a DDT.

Dakon is shown getting up, only for Aisling to run over. Dakon turns around and Aisling leaps up and takes him down with a hurricanrana. Ludvig then slides into the ring, brandishing a chair. Aisling gets to her feet just as Ludvig slams the chair into her back.

Sharper: “Chaos has already erupted. Ludvig the only one standing in the ring.”

Knots: “I was about to say. The Goddess is clearly standing.”

Sharper: “Well, she looks like she has no interest in getting into the ring while Ludvig has a chair.”

Gigi is shown pulling herself up, using the ropes. She turns and Ludvig slams the chair into her mid-section. Gigi doubles over. Ludvig lifts the chair to strike, but Colleen grabs the chair before hitting a front kick to the center of Ludvig’s back.

He stumbles forward, letting go of the chair. Colleen slams it into Ludvig’s back. He then turns and she connects with a shot to the side of the head. Ludvig falls to the mat, and Colleen goes for a cover.

Dakon breaks up the cover!

Sharper: “Dakon saving the match for his team.”

Dakon picks Colleen up from the mat, only for Aisling to be shown connecting with a kendo stick to his back. Dakon turns and Aisling blasts him with shots to the head from the kendo stick. Aisling then turns her attention to Ludvig, as she strikes him with the kendo stick over and over, until he rolls out of the ring, joining Dakon with Konrad and Ginny.

Knots: “Aisling teeing off on European Fiery Nation, sending them into a retreat.”

Gigi is shown getting to her feet. The Playgirls look at one another before Aisling drops the kendo stick. Katie is then shown creeping into the ring, coming in from behind. She hits a side kick into Aisling’s back before clubbing Colleen into the back of the head. Katie then hooks Colleen and drops her to the mat with the Platinum Blonde. Katie then goes for the cover, but the ref doesn’t count.

Sharper: “Katie going for the cover, but she’s not the legal participant for her team. Gigi is.”

Knots: “Are we even worried about the rules? Phillips said there weren’t any.”

Sharper: “It’s still considered a triple threat. Just that weapons can be used.”

Knots: “Whatever that means.”

Katie gets up and tells Gigi to go for the cover. Gigi rolls her eyes and covers Colleen.

1!

Colleen kicks out, just as Ludvig charges into the ring, punting Gigi in the side of the head. Dakon charges at Katie, swinging the kendo stick. Katie runs in the opposite direction, getting into the corner, before cupping her hands around her mouth and screaming.

Knots: “Oh God! I mean…Goddess Scream! Make it stop!”

Katie’s screaming continues until Aisling is shown hitting a dropkick into Dakon’s back, sending him crashing into Katie. Katie crumples in the corner as Dakon staggers back, dropping the kendo stick. Aisling takes it and hits him in the back of the legs, dropping Dakon down to his knees. Aisling drops the stick and runs at the ropes. Jumping backwards off the middle rope, Aisling hooks Dakon, taking him down with a reverse DDT.

Aisling gets to her feet as Dakon rolls out of the ring. As Aisling gets up, Ludvig chop blocks her. Aisling stumbles forward, only for Ludvig to hook her and deliver a German suplex. Aisling rolls to the outside as well as Ludvig gets to his feet. He turns just as Gigi hits another spinning heel kick. With Ludvig down, Gigi goes over to the corner, where Katie isn’t, and climbs to the top. She looks at Ludvig then jumps off, connecting with a frog splash. Gigi then goes hooks the leg.

Sharper: “Gigi, one of the three legal participants, with a huge frog splash, going for the cover. With all the damage these competitors have taken, it may very well be enough to seal the deal.”

Colleen jumps in and breaks up the pin!

Knots: “Colleen just in the nick of time!”

Colleen pulls Gigi up and whips her into the corner, where Katie is shown pulling herself up. Katie screams and jumps out of the way as Gigi connects with the turnbuckle. Gigi drops and Colleen follows up, hitting the FaceWarmer!

Colleen goes for the cover.

Katie breaks up, kicking Colleen in the side of the head. Colleen rolls away before Katie picks her up, kicks her in the abdomen, hooking her arms and planting her with Save the Queen! Katie then manages to pull Gigi over Colleen as the ref goes for the count.

Ludvig breaks it up, with Dakon clotheslining Katie down to the mat. Dakon picks Katie up, going for a powerbomb. Ludvig then grabs Katie and pulls her into a double knee backbreaker. Katie rolls out of the ring, holding her back.

Knots: “Ludvig and Dakon taking Katie out with that vicious powerbomb into a double knee backbreaker. Ruthless combination.”

Colleen is shown getting to her feet as Dakon and Ludvig face her. She stumbles forward, as they grab her and plant her with a double spinebuster. Gigi gets up and she receives a double spinebuster as well.

Sharper: “The European Fiery Nation in clear control now, laying waste to everyone.”

As Ludvig and Dakon get to their feet, Aisling slides into the ring with a trashcan. Ludvig turns around first, and Aisling slams the trashcan into the top of his side. Ludvig drops to his knees. Dakon turns and charges, but Aisling throws the trashcan at him. It connects with his head and Dakon falls to the mat as well.

Aisling walks over and helps Colleen get to her feet as Katie is then shown helping with Gigi. Katie and Aisling get on the apron, in their respective corners once again. Gigi and Colleen step towards one another and begin to hammer away, connecting with tired forearms, before they both connect with a forearm and both fall to the mat.

Knots: “These two are worn down.”

Gigi and Colleen are shown crawling to their corners, before tagging in Katie and Aisling. Gigi and Colleen roll out as Katie and Aisling connect with forearms as well, before Katie shoves Aisling back and charges, leaping into the air, connecting with a Superman punch.

Sharper: “Katie connecting with the Goddess Punch.”

Aisling falls to the mat and Katie falls on top of her.

Dakon and Ludvig drag Katie off of Aisling. They then lift her up. Ludvig sends Katie into the ropes. She bounces off and he lifts her up as Dakon hits the cutter, hitting the European United Drop. The crowd ohs. Dakon gets up as Colleen then spears him down. The crowd ohs. Colleen slowly gets up and Ludvig nails her with a forearm shot and then another before pulling her back, but just then, Aisling runs over and jumps up and onto the back of Ludvig, flipping over to go for a sunset flip, but remaining on his back, with Ludvig standing. He looks around as Colleen runs into the ropes, bouncing off and just tackles Ludvig, causing Aisling to hit a sunset bomb! The crowd ohs.

Gigi hits a dropkick to Aisling. Aisling falls back and rolls over. Gigi then gets up and turns as Colleen grabs her and clubs her in the back. She clubs her again as Aisling fights up. They push her into the corner as Katie then crawls over and throws her arm over Ludvig.

Colleen and Aisling pull Gigi out as the bell sounds. They turn and look around. Gigi drops to the mat and rolls to the floor.

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Katie and Gigi, Team Desire!”

 

Sharper: “And Colleen and Aisling focusing on Gigi! Katie just stole this match!”

 

Knots: “Katie saw Ludvig down and threw an arm over!”

 

TJ drags Katie out of the ring and raises her arm. Katie smiles as she holds her arm up. Colleen and Aisling step forward annoyed as Gigi waits for Katie. Katie comes over and smiles at her. They start to head to the back, Katie’s arm in the air.

 

Backstage, we see Alexander Rizzo walking out from the office of CHBK. He turns around and shakes CHBK’s hand as CHBK walks out of the office.

 

CHBK: “Good to have you back.”

 

Rizzo: “Hope this time I can get started off on the right foot.”

 

CHBK: “I’m sure you will. Enjoy the show.”

 

The crowd cheers as Rizzo walks off.

 

Sharper: “That was Alexander Rizzo. We saw him come in with some fanfare before Rise to Greatness!”

 

CHBK turns as we see Asher Hayes walking over to him.

 

Hayes: “Another person you’re hoping will catch lightning in a bottle. Not likely…”

 

CHBK: “What do you want Asher?”

 

Hayes smirks as he looks at the SCW World Championship over his shoulder.

 

Hayes: “So…how much did she pay? Or-“

 

CHBK: “It was as I said it on Breakdown.”

 

Hayes: “Yeah, sure…whatever. I hope though SCW will just finally cut her loose when I beat her tonight. End this BS. Let her cry at home. No one will care.”

 

CHBK: “You done?”

 

Hayes: “Oh no. Just getting started. And then Kandis at Retribution? What happens when I get through both of them? Anyone able to step up to me…thought not. But keep trying. Maybe that Rizzo kid can get lucky…”

 

Hayes smirks as he then walks off as the scene cuts back to the ring.

 

Sarah Wolf vs. Polly

 

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot but then there is complete silence, nothing on the SCW big screen appearing.  It is 10 seconds before the beginning of "Prisoner" by Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa begins to play. The music plays for quite some time and it is not until quite a bit into the song when Polly emerges from the back. The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as Polly looks around the arena and nods. She takes a deep breath as they head to the ring.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a thirty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from Panguitch, Utah, she is Polly!”

 

Polly reaches the ring. Polly heads up the steel steps and looks around and steps into the ring. Polly walks around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Polly hoped to end this tiff that came in part because of her throwing Alexis Quinne from the scaffold. A change we’ve seen since Marissa Swanson had controlled her.”

 

Knots: “And she thought Sarah Wolf would just walk away. Is she nuts?”

 

Sharper: “Well now she has to deal with the result of this.”


“When I Am Queen” by Jack Off Jill begins to play through the arena, yet there is no sign of Wolf yet. Polly continues to look around the crowd.

Phillips: “And her opponent... from Bent Fork, Tennessee, Sarah Wolf!”

The music continues to play, as the camera pans around. Polly watches before we see Sarah Wolf storm through the crowd and hop over the barricade. She then heads to the ring and rolls in.

 

Sharper: “And Sarah Wolf walking to the ring with purpose!”

 

Knots: “Made sure Polly saw it coming too!”

 

Polly and Sarah tie up.  Wolf drives a knee to the gut and then starts laying into her with chops and various marital arts kicks.  Wolf then whips her into the ropes and takes her down with an arm drag, a second arm drag, then a deep third arm drag into an arm bar.  Polly fights back to her feet but Sarah switches into a hammerlock.  Polly breaks it with a vicious elbow to Wolf’s face.  Polly then drops Sarah with a short arm clothesline.  Polly hits the ropes and takes Sarah down with a headscissors takeover.  Sarah rolls to the outside to break the momentum.

 

Sharper: “And Polly using her agility. Down goes Sarah Wolf.”

 

Knots: “And where she’s at home. On the floor!”

 

Polly with a baseball slide into a headscissors takeover on the outside.  Polly pulls Sarah up and smashes her face first onto the steel steps, once, twice, and three times.   The referee warns Polly to stop and to get the fight back in the ring.  This distraction serves to give Sarah Wolf time to recover.  Wolf drop toe holds Polly face first onto the steel steps.  Wolf then whips Polly face first into the steel ring post.

 

Sharper: “Oh! Polly meeting the steel.”

 

Knots: “Better than the collar she had.”

 

Sharper: “But more damage as Polly, first into the steps. Then into the ringpost. And the ringpost didn’t move an inch.”

 

Sarah rolls Polly back into the ring.  Sarah Wolf with a swinging neck breaker.  Sarah locks in a neck vice.  Polly again fights back to her feet.  Sarah drives more knees into Polly’s midsection.  Sarah then whips Polly into the corner.  Sarah lowers her head a bit early and Polly viciously kicks her in the face and then delivers a Chick Kick that drops Sarah Wolf.  Polly pulls Wolf up and whips her into the corner.  Polly charges in but Sarah moves out of the way at the last second.  Wolf snaps off a release German suplex on Polly.  Wolf into the cover…

 

1…

 

…2Kickout!

 

Sarah pulls Polly up but Polly rakes at the eyes.  Polly with a superkick followed by HEAD TURNER!  Polly doesn’t cover but instead mounts Wolf and starts to rain down hard and vicious right hands.

 

Sharper: “And Polly turning up the anger! Right hands down on Sarah Wolf!”

 

Knots: “That switch has flipped!”

 

Again the referee has to warn Polly.  This does get Polly to stop momentarily.  Polly measures Sarah.  She goes for another Head Turner but Sarah moves out of the way and then spears Polly.  Sarah locks in an STF.  Polly won’t give up just yet.  She fights to the ropes and does eventually reach them after nearly fifteen seconds.  Sarah polls Polly up and drops her with a hangman’s neck breaker.  Sarah covers…

 

1…

 

….2Kickout!

 

Sarah pulls Polly up and goes for another hangman’s neck breaker but Polly shoves her off into the ropes.  Polly with a backflip that sends Sarah flying.  Polly then hits Wolf with a drive by face buster.  Polly goes immediately to the top rope and leaps off with a big splash!  She connects!  Polly hooks the leg…

 

1…

 

2…

 

…3NO! Sarah kicks out!

 

Polly pulls Sarah back up to her feet but Sarah gouges at the eyes.  Sarah with a superkick and then a step up enziguri floors Polly.  Wolf applies the crossface.  Polly still won’t quit and again fights to the ropes, reaching the bottom rope after about fifteen seconds.

 

Sharper: “Polly trying to fight off and almost…yes, at the ropes!”

 

Knots: “Just is Wolf going to follow the ref or just do what she wants!”

 

Sarah drags Polly back out to the center.  She tries to lock in another STF but Polly kicks her way out of it.  Polly kips up and then hits another chick kick followed by another drive by face buster.  Polly goes outside the ring and starts heading up to the top rope.  But Sarah is quick to get to her feet and rushes the ropes, shaking them enough to cause Polly to straddle the top.   Wolf then begins to head up to the top to join Polly at the top turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “And Wolf going to the top! This is not like her. She tends to stay on her feet on the ground.”

 

Knots: “Well maybe she wants to give Polly a shove just like Quinne did!”

 

Sarah tries to hook Polly for a superplex but Polly blocks it.  Wolf rakes the eyes.  Wolf starts throwing rights.  Polly retaliates with right hands of her own.  The two continue to trade rights and lefts and even a headbutt or two from Polly.  Eventually Polly gives a mighty shove and it sends Sarah falling off the top turnbuckle and hard on the very thin mat outside the ring!

 

Sharper: “Oh! Polly! Just shoved Sarah Wolf off the top rope!”

 

Knots: “Jesus! That thud!”

 

Sharper: “Just as she shoved Quinne at Under Attack which started all of this!”

 

Polly steps down from the top rope and goes outside after Sarah who is clearly hurt from the fall.  Polly is aggressive and doesn’t let up.  She throws Sarah head first into the steel steps again.  Polly hooks Sarah by the legs and then slingshots her face first into the steel ring post.  Polly notices blood coming from Sarah’s forehead.  Polly mounts Sarah and starts to rain down more heavy right hands to open up the wound even more.

 

Sharper: “And Sarah Wolf bleeding! Polly focusing on it!”

 

Knots: “Well now that handshake seems a long time ago!”

 

The referee warns Polly that she is about to be disqualified.  Polly finally stops the punching.  She drags Sarah up and rolls her back into the ring.  Polly enters the ring, hooks Sarah, and drops her with the Polly Pop!  Polly covers, hooking a leg…

 

1…

 

2…

 

…3!

 

The crowd roars as Polly rolls off. The bell sounds.

 

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

 

Sharper: “And Polly defeats Sarah Wolf here at Body, Heart, and Soul!”

 

Knots: “And with an exclamation point!”

 

Sharper: “Driven into the mat. Driven to the floor. And Polly…”

 

Polly looks around before taking a few deep breaths. She looks around before shaking her head. She leans on the ropes. The official goes to raise her arm. She pulls away and looks at Wolf who starts to stir. Polly then exits the ring. She walks around the ring and starts to head to the back.

 

Jaina Lancaster is shown standing next to Kandis who is now in her street clothes,

 

Jaina: “Jaina Lancaster here backstage and earlier tonight, Kandis, you defeated Konrad Raab by setting him on fire. Tonight, you will be watching the World Championship match closely-“

 

Kandis: “A title match that should’ve been mine. Konrad…I’ve beat him. I’ve showed him he is DONE messing with me. And tonight, Selena Frost has my spot. I know your next question…who would I prefer to face. Easy…Asher Hayes. I’ve BEATEN Selena. I sent her running. And now she’s back in a match she does not deserve. Simply put, FUCK her.”

 

Kandis looks at the camera.

 

Kandis: “Asher…show you actually deserve to hold that title and beat the hell out of her. And I’ll see you at Retribution. You and I…we’re not done and I have one more shot to prove I am BETTER than you! And trust me…I’m watching tonight VERY closely!”

 

Kandis heads off as Jaina watches her walk away.

 

Jaina: “Back to ringside.”

 

Crystal Zdunich vs. The Enigma

 

Sharper: “Thanks Jaina. Up next, we have the most unusual matchup of the night as Crystal Zdunich takes on the man who has haunted her since Under Attack in November, The Enigma. And Jonathan, I don’t know about you, but I have a feeling this match isn’t going to be for the faint of heart. And also keep in mind, this is the Enigma’s SCW Pay Per View in-ring debut.”

Knots: “Sharper, I think we’re in for something we’ve never seen before… The Enigma is just that, he’s an enigma who has haunted Crystal Zdunich since Under Attack, tonight, though, I think the nightmare is only beginning.”

The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness.

All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.

 

"YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!"

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyro.

Smile Bomb by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains.

Phillips: “The following contest in scheduled for one fall… First, making her way to the ring, accompanied by Alexandra Caldwell, Crystal Zdunich!”

She is accompanied by her fiancee Alexandra Caldwell, and the two of them make their way to the ring. Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She tosses her Shoto inspired hoodie towards her wife as she awaits the start of the match. Alexandra cheers for her fiancee as Crystal is locked in a trance.

Sharper: “Since Under Attack, Crystal Zdunich and the Enigma have done nothing but try to one-up each other. It came to a head just a couple of weeks ago, when The Enigma used some sort of black ooze to lock Zdunich in the locker room, when she was about to go out and be Diamond Steele’s partner in her SCW World Tag Team Championship match!”

Knots: “And in that very match, Enigma showed up, took over at Diamond Steele’s tag partner, destroyed the champions and it looked as though he was going to win the match and become champions, but walked away and screwed Diamond Steele over!”

As the eerie strains of "Whispers of the Abyss" begin to echo through the arena, the lights dim, plunging the venue into an unsettling darkness. A thick fog creeps across the entrance ramp, shrouding it in an otherworldly mist.

A chilling gust of wind sweeps through the arena, causing a collective shiver among the spectators. Suddenly, a single spotlight pierces the gloom, revealing the imposing figure of The Enigma standing at the top of the ramp.

His mask, an enigmatic visage of darkness, glistens ominously in the dim light. Clad in a long, tattered black robe that billows around him like a specter, The Enigma exudes an aura of malevolence that is palpable even from a distance.

Phillips: “And her opponent, The Enigma!”

With each step, the haunting melody of "Whispers of the Abyss" intensifies, sending shivers down the spines of those in attendance. The audience's anticipation is met with a creeping dread as The Enigma descends the ramp, his presence a looming specter of the unknown.

Sharper: “This man, is otherworldly… The more we see of him, it seems as though the less we know about him. Other than the fact that he is dangerous.”

Knots: “He is very dangerous, Sharper, so much so that he won Rookie of the Year in 2023, and he only showed up in September!”

As he reaches the ring, The Enigma climbs the steel steps with deliberate, measured movements. He enters the ring through the ropes, his masked gaze fixed on some unseen point in the distance. The crowd's unease grows with each passing moment.

Once inside the ring, The Enigma raises his arms slowly, and the fog around him thickens, obscuring his form. The spotlight flickers, casting eerie, shifting shadows that dance across the canvas.

And then, in an instant, the spotlight extinguishes, plunging the arena into complete darkness. The music fades, and all that remains is the haunting silence, broken only by the faint, echoing whispers of the abyss.

The Enigma and Zdunich stand across the ring from each other. Zdunich starts hyping herself up, while Enigma just stands there, staring. Before the bell can ring however, Zdunich quickly exits the ring. Enigma stares down at her as she talks trash to Enigma.

Zdunich: “You want to screw me out of the Tag Titles! I’m gonna screw you over, too!”

All of a sudden, the camera pans around and we see Diamond Steele perched on the top rope! Enigma turns around into a missile dropkick from Diamond Steele! Zdunich quickly slides into the ring and she and Diamond Steele start stomping away on the downed Enigma.

Sharper: “Crystal Zdunich and Diamond Steele taking out all of their frustration on the Enigma!”

Knots: “Zdunich doing whatever it takes to take out the Enigma once and for all.”

Zdunich and Steele pick up Enigma and back him into the corner. Steele and Zdunich start kicking away at the midsection of Enigma. They pull Enigma out of the corner and whip him into the ropes. Enigma bounces off the ropes and runs back at the duo and they take him down with a double back body drop! Zdunich and Steele give each other a high five and Zdunich jumps up and drops down on Enigma with an elbow drop! Steele follows suit and does the same!

Sharper: “These two ladies are getting payback on Enigma for screwing them out of the tag titles!”

Knots: “The problem is the match hasn’t started yet! Steele needs to get out of the ring in order for Zdunich to actually win this match!”

The referee finally steps in between Steele and Enigma and forces Steele out of the ring. The referee finally calls for the bell and Zdunich quickly covers Enigma looking for a quick win!

1!

2!

NO!

Enigma gets his shoulder up before the three count! Zdunich gets to get knees, angrily looking at the referee. Zdunich quickly though gets back to her feet and stomps Enigma right in the chest.

Sharper: “Even the quick double team on Enigma wasn’t enough!”

Zdunich grabs Enigma by the back of the head and picks him up off the mat. Back to his feet, Zdunich delivers a standing dropkick to Enigma and quickly follows it up by running back into the ropes. Zdunich bounces off and hits a quick leg drop on the mysterious masked figure. Zdunich goes for yet another cover on Enigma.

1!

2!

NO!

Enigma once again gets the shoulder up before the three count. Zdunich gets to her knees looking around in disbelievement as Enigma is still fighting.

Sharper: “We’re still early in the match, Jonathan, I’m not sure why Zdunich is so amazed that Enigma still has fight left.”

Knots: “I think she’s wanting to end this one early! With the onslaught of attacks from her and the double team from her and Diamond Steele, she feels as though it should be enough!”

Zdunich gets back to her feet, grabs Enigma by his masked head and throws him into the ropes. Enigma bounces off and just as Zdunich goes to clothesline Enigma, he ducks under and slides under the ropes. The crowd starts to cheer a little bit as Enigma ducks under the clothesline and then slides out of the ring. Zdunich tries to go to the outside to follow, but the referee stops her. Enigma climbs back onto the apron while the referee is dealing with Zdunich, and from behind Diamond Steele nails Enigma with a chair!

Sharper: “What a cheap shot by Diamond Steele, the chair straight to the back of Enigma!”

Knots: “By any means necessary, Sharper!”

Enigma falls off the apron and falls to where his stomach is down on the floor. Boos come from the crowd as Steele hits him two more times in the back with the chair while the referee is distracted. Steele quickly slides the chair under the ring and runs to the opposite side of the ring as the referee turns around to begin his 10 count on Enigma. The camera pans around to show the downed Enigma, but he isn’t there!

“Sharper: “Wait a minute, where did he go?”

Knots: “Oh no, Sharper….”

The referee looks puzzled as he begins his count.

1!

Zdunich comes over and looks for herself and notices that Enigma is no longer there as well. The referee continues to count.

2!

The lights in the arena flicker and the crowd starts to cheer a bit.

3!

All of a sudden, the crowd cheers louder as Enigma shows up behind Diamond Steele outside the ring! Enigma grabs Steele by the hair and throws her hard into the guardrail. The referee continues to count.

4!

Enigma then goes under the ring and grabs the same chair and hits her straight on top of the head with the chair! Enigma then grabs her head before she can drop to the floor and locks her in between his arms and drops her down onto his knee with the Into the Abyss!

Sharper: “Enima just took out Diamond Steele with the Into the Abyss!”

Knots: “That chair shot was loud and crazy! Diamond Steele might be out for a while after that!”

5!

The referee continues to count but it seems futile as Enigma climbs onto the apron and Zdunich stands there in terror as the masked figure stands on the apron staring at her.

6!

Enigma climbs into the ring to stop the referee’s count. Zdunich can’t believe her eyes!

Sharper: “Look at the look on Zdunich’s face! She knows that she is in trouble now!”

Zdunich backs away from Enigma looking afraid. Enigma stands staring directly at Zdunich. Zdunich charges at Enigma and hits him with a clothesline that doesn’t affect Enigma at all. Zdunich charges with yet another clothesline that once again does not affect Enigma. Zdunich backs away slowly, as she does however, Enigma raises his arms slowly.

Sharper: “What the hell is this guy doing?”

Knots: “I don’t know Sharper, but I get this strong feeling that he has been playing games with Zdunich this whole time, and now, we’re about to see what this guy is made of.”

Zdunich charges at Enigma again, but this time is met with a thunderous clothesline by Enigma. Zdunich drops to the mat quickly, clearly in pain. Enigma looks down at Zdunich and quickly grabs her by the hair and picks her up. Enigma grabs Zdunich by the chin, and then pulls her in close to him. He whispers something in her ear that is inaudible. Enigma locks her head under his arm and takes her down with a huge DDT! Enigma then picks up Zdunich again by the hair and pulls her towards the corner and viciously throws her into the corner. Enigma stares at Zdunich and charges at her with a huge heel kick in the corner! Zdunich has a far away look in her eye as Enigma starts to kick her in the midsection repeatedly in the corner.

Sharper: “Enigma is now just having his way with Zdunich!”

Knots: “He’s tired of dealing with her, and so now he’s just beating the hell out of her to get her out of his way.”

Enigma pulls Zdunich out of the corner and takes her down with a high impact vertical suplex. Enigma mounts Zdunich and starts hammering away on her with hard right fists to the face and head area. The referee begins a five count on Enigma.

1!

2!

3!

4!

Enigma gets off of Zdunich and black smoke starts to enter in around the ring. The lights start to flicker. Enigma walks over to the corner and leaps to the top rope. As he is perched on the top, four shadowy figures appear on the apron, their arms stretched out wide, and their heads are tilted back.

Sharper: “What the hell is that?”

Knots: “Those must be some of Enigma’s followers!”

Enigma leaps off the top rope and drops down onto Zdunich with the Shadowfall! The smoke continues to thicken as the figures continue to hold the same pose. Enigma lifts Zdunich off the mat, locks her head into his arm and drops her down with the Into The Abyss! Enigma covers Zdunich as the referee starts to count.

1!

2!

3!

“Whispers of the Abyss” begins to play as Enigma quickly gets back to his feet and stands over Crystal Zdunich.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… The Enigma!”

Enigma stands with his eyes not being taken off of Crystal Zdunich, just staring blankly at her.

Sharper: “The Enigma with an impressive victory here tonight, Jonathan.”

Knots: “Sharper, everything this man has done so far has been impressive, but also terrifying.”

The reigning SCW Rookie of the Year stands with his arms outstretched, with his four henchmen doing the same still on the apron, having not moved a muscle. The black smoke thickens, and the lights in the arena go dark. They lights come back on and all we see is a downed and battered Crystal Zdunich.

 

Kelsai Adamson stands with Chance Owens.

 

Chance: “Don’t beat yourself up too much. You gave it your all-“

 

Kelsai: “At some point, I need to come through. And….look, you just focus on your match. Please…please be careful.”

 

Chance: “I will. I promise.”

 

Chance and Kelsai embrace before Chance heads off. Kelsai watches Chance Owens leave before she shakes her head.

 

Kelsai: “I need to get better…I can’t be the weak link-“

 

???: “Ya need to stop beating yourself up.”

 

Kelsai turns as we see Sean Michael Prime walking over. Some in the crowd cheers, yelling out yeah, recognizing the figure of their hometown wrestler.

 

Kelsai: “Well..uh…thanks, but no one asked you.”

 

Prime: “But you should pay attention. I’d know about really screwing up.”

 

Kelsai: “Yeah, well…that’s night.”

 

Prime: “Sean Michael Prime.”

 

Prime extends his hand. Kelsai look at him and reluctantly shakes his hand.

 

Prime: “Pleasure to meet you. Then again, maybe for you its all attitude.”

 

Prime heads off as Kelsai looks at him, annoyed as the scene cuts away.

 

Amy Chastaine, “The One” Kirsten Scott, Chance Owens & “The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe vs. The House of James

Underground War

 

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

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

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd.

"Never gonna stop
Won't quit till I'm not breathing
Chase me all you want
It won't be enough"

Amy starts down the ramp, greeting and touching hands with a few fans along the way.


Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a thirty minute time limit and is the Underground War! First, making her way to the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana, she is Amy Chastaine!”

"Never gonna stop
Even if these wounds keep bleeding
I'm not giving up
It won't be enough"

The music continues as she gets into the ring. Amy hops up on the apron, and enters the ring between the bottom and middle ropes. She goes to the corner near the ring steps, and hops up on the middle ropes, one hand in the air overhead, and the other on her hip, posing for the cheering fans. She hops down and runs to the opposite corner, doing the same pose. Amy then hops down as the music fades out and the lights return to normal.

 

Sharper: “Amy Chastaine leading this team into tonight. She stepped on Breakdown, helping Kirsten Scott, helping Cassie Wolfe, and then saying she has seen James like this. She doesn’t want it to continue or for him to return to his old ways.”

 

Knots: “James was scary back then, but now he has followers and tonight, this is going to be war.”

 

You like to hunt, your game is fear
I was the one, your souvenir
This is a fight, the one that you've been asking for
You did incite the call for us to go to war

Jagged green lights play across the screen and the stage as a voice that can only belong to the one and only Chris Jericho belts out the words to "Wolves At Bay". Spotlights move around near the entranceway and one of them catches someone's right arm in its beam.

Pushing and pushing
Giving me no choice
Humiliate, intimidate
Until I hit the breaking point

The spotlights are still moving around on the stage as the lights on the screen start forming a pattern. One of the moving spotlights dances across someone's left leg.

Back to the wall
Keeping the wolves at bay
Fight my way out
'Cause it's the only way

The lights on the screen settle into a final configuration spelling out the name "Chance Owens". The person in question comes out to stand on the stage under some of the spotlights. Chance nods before heading down the ramp toward the ring, the lights catching the tiny white stones on his forest green fighter's gloves.

 

Phillips: “Next, from Denver, Colorado, he is the Roadblock, Chance Owens!”

 

He doesn't respond to the cheers nor does he react to the boos. Once he reaches the ring, Chance ascends the steel steps that will take him between the ropes. He walks forward as he and Amy high-five.

 

Sharper: “Chance Owens stepping up to join this team; a link to Amy Chastaine through Kelsai Adamson.”

 

Knots: “But that means getting used to a different group of people and again, can you count on the people on this team? Kirsten Scott reluctantly saying she’d own Cassie Wolfe. Wolfe and Owens both young. They’ve had issues in the past.”

 

Sharper: “But a common enemy can be a great unifier.”

 

The opening riff of “Wolf Within” hits the speakers and once the lyrics kick in Cassie Wolfe emerges from the back excited to start the match, with her hands on her leather jacket’s sides the rookie wrestler turns her back to the crowd.

 

Phillips: “Next, from Greenock, South Australia and now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, “The Rebel Princess” Cassie Wolfe!”
 
When her name is announced Cassie spins around flashing the metal horns sign with her left hand and clapping fans hands with the other, when she reaches the ring Cassie jumps onto the apron before giving her hair a full flip and removing her jacket to give to a stagehand, she then jumps over the top rope and into the ring, rolling to her knees and basking in the moment. Amy and Chance high-five her.

 

Sharper: “Looks like there’s no hard feelings between Owens and Wolfe. Chastaine taking the lead here and there’s a sense this could be a real team.”

 

Knots: “The question may be the fourth person coming out though.”
 

The arena goes dark and there the crowd begins to buzz wondering who is coming out.  As "Sonne" by Rammstein begins to play, lasers begin to shoot across the arena to the beat, and a spotlight illuminates The Oracle on the entry way, back to the crowd, holding fingers up with the opening count-up.

Eins...
Zwei...
Drei...
Vier...
Fünf...
Sechs...
Sieben...
Acht...
Neun...

As she holds up the ninth finger, the song stops the countdown at its crescendo, and she throws her arms out to the side...

AUS!

Spotlights begin to swirl around the arena as the song continues, and "The One" Kirsten Scott walks out from backstage flanked by Hailey.  The pair end up on both sides of The Oracle, who turns around and spins to the opposite side of Kirsten from Hailey.  Kirsten and her compatriots begin their walk to the ring together with "The One" staring directly at her ultimate location inside the squared circle.

 

Phillips: “And the final member of this team, accompanied by Hailey and The Oracle, from Your Personal Nightmare, she is The One, Kirsten Scott!”

As they reach the ring, they walk along to the hard camera side, and Kirsten jumps up onto the ring apron and stands up.  Hailey goes into the ring, directly behind her friend, jumping on the middle rope, and The Oracle stands on the floor directly beneath Kirsten.  Kirsten slowly raises her arm beside her, pointing one index finger in her own direction, while Hailey and The Oracle begin doing the same in Kirsten's direction as well, all signifying her former name, and now nickname, of "The One."

After taking a moment to stare into the hard cam, Kirsten swings her arm out in a "DELETE" motion, before quickly sliding into the open ropes from being stood on by Hailey, and immediately goes to her corner.  Hailey quickly follows, as does The Oracle from the outside.  Both of "The One's" compatriots stand with her, advising her and talking to her, as she awaits the bell ringing to start her match. Amy walks over to her. Scott just waves her off.

 

Sharper: “And The One staying with her group right now.”

 

Knots: “And if I’m House of James, I focus on that weakness. I drive a wedge.”

 

The opening of “Blood Eagle can be heard blaring through the PA system. The camera will pan through the curtain as the faces of James Evans, Lues, Pain, Mordred, and Harker appear, igniting a negative reaction from the crowd, as they shower them in jeers. The boos intensify as Pain, Mordred, Harker, and Lues walk out from the back. James Evans remains backstage.

Phillips: “And their opponents, representing the House of James, they are Lues, Pain, Harker and Mordred!”


The House of James slowly makes their way to the ring, as images of James winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen, with the rest of the House of James members wreaking havoc in the ring. They reach the ring and Cassie Wolfe then runs to the ropes. Amy goes to stop her, but Wolfe springboards to the top rope and goes for a corkscrew plancha onto Harker and Mordred. But they catch her. They then turns and press her over their head before stepping forward and launching her, throwing her up the rampway. Wolfe hits the steel and rolls through. The bell sounds.

 

Sharper: “Wolfe going high risk. Mordred and Harker ready for it and they just launched her.”

 

Knots: “Shot-put her up the ramp!”

 

Sharper: “And immediately, this match beginning. Underground rules. One fall to a finish!”

 

Lues follows after Wolfe as Amy Chastaine, Chance Owens and Kirsten Scott head to the floor. Amy runs over and goes after Pain who catches her with a shot. Owens goes after Harker and Scott is met by Mordred who turns back. Harker clubs Owens a few times as Mordred follows after Scott and Scott rakes his eyes. She then nails her with a hard right. Wolfe slowly gets up as Lues runs at her and nails her with a clothesline. Amy throws a few shots at Pain and then runs her to the barricade. Pain however hops onto the barricade and runs along the top of it and hops down. Pain looks at Amy. Amy then runs to the ring and slides in. Pain turns, however, and slides under the ring. Amy stops and looks down as Owens hits a few shots to the ribs of Harker. He then hits a jawbreaker as Harker staggers back. Owens grabs him and goes to whip him into the ring, but Harker spins through and sends Owens in back first. Owens steps up and Harker back drops him on the floor and ramp. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Pain under the ring. Wolfe in trouble with Lues on the stage. Harker just took down Owens.”

 

Knots: “And The One and Mordred going to go into the crowd!”

 

The One goes to clothesline Mordred up and over, but Mordred grabs Scott and they both go over together. Amy turns and sees Harker as he turns to the ring and Chastaine hits a running dropkick through the ropes, knocking Harker back. Chastaine looks around as Pain crawls out on the other side. Scott gets up as does Mordred and Scott kicks him in the chest. Scott turns as Pain throws a chair, having gotten it from under the ring, and throws it at Scott. Scott falls back as the crowd ohs. Chastaine then runs at the ropes, dives through them and drives Pain into the announce table.

 

Knots: “Already?!”

 

Sharper: “Hard into our table. Pain drive into it by Chastaine!”

 

Harker slowly gets up as Owen stirs. Lues runs Wolfe into the stage. Wolfe staggers off and Lues grabs her and goes to throw her off, but Wolfe fights back with a couple of hard shots to the ribs. She then grabs her and throws her back first into the stage set. Lues falls over. Chastaine stirs on the floor. She then turns and walks over to the ring. She lifts up the skirt, looking underneath. Owens and Harker stir as Mordred grabs Scott and drags her away from the ringside area through the crowd. He then knees her in the ribs once and then again before pulling her in and pressing her over his head. The crowd roars and Mordred then turns and throws, causing Scott to plummet to the concrete and roll through from the impact. Mordred lets out a yell as the crowd makes noise around him.

 

Sharper: “Beyond the desire for violence, the ideology, the strength is also on the side of the House of James.”

 

Knots: “This could just be a pummeling. They’ve just overtaken this so far.”

 

Wolfe grabs Lues and goes to whip her into the stage. Lues spins through and sends her in. Wolfe stops herself before then pushing off the set and hitting a back elbow to Lues. Back at ringside, Chastaine throws a chair into the ring and then a second chair before reaching under the ring and grabbing a trash can. She turns as Pain starts to get up and swings, nailing him in the head with it. Pain goes down. Chastaine throws the chair down to the mats and turns and climbs onto the apron. Harker, however, gets up and runs across and knees her off, causing Chastaine to go off the apron and through the trash can. The crowd ohs. Harker turns around and Owens enters and tackles him down. He then moves into a side mount, hammering away on Harker, nailing him over and over again.

 

Sharper: “Owens just hammering away on Harker.”

 

Knots: “Right now, you just need to get any and all control. This is just a fight at this point.”

 

Owens gets up and turns and grabs a steel chair. Harker rolls over and Owens lifts the chair up and slams it on his back. The crowd ohs as Harker rolls over in pain. Owens steps over him and places the chair against the throat of Harker, choking him. Back in the crowd, Mordred drags Scott over and then knees her in the ribs. He runs her into a table of merch. Scott pops up off of it and Mordred kicks her in the ribs. He places her head between his legs. He hoists her up, but Scott slides down behind him. Mordred turns and Scott hits a back kick. Back on the stage, Wolfe then grabs Lues and throws her off. Lues, however, gets her legs under her and lands on her feet, rolling through. Lues then gets up, looking unimpressed. Owens steps off Harker, as Scott then tackles Mordred up and over the table. The crowd roars. Back on the stage, we then see Wolfe run off and hits a shooting star press off the stage onto Lues! The crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Knots: “Oh my God!”

 

Sharper: “Off the stage. This young woman is fearless!”

 

Knots: “Just taking it all on the line. If Lues moved, it’s permanently four on three!”

 

Sharper: “Just take a look at this.

 

REPLAY:

 

We see Lues getting up and turning to the stage as Wolfe takes a running start and dives off the stage, hitting a shooting star press on Lues. The Body, Heart, and Soul logo comes up on the screen as the move is shown from another angle.

Back in the ring, Owens grabs another steel chair and opens it up. Harker stirs and Owens takes the first chair and slams it into his back.

 

The wide shot goes to the ring as Owens opens the second chair. He turns and grabs Harker before we see Pain running Chastaine into the steel steps. She rolls over and into a heap as back in the crowd, we see Scott getting up. Mordred rolls over as Scott walks around. She then turns back and Mordred lifts the table up and turns and throws it, feet first, toward Scott. Scott goes down as the crowd ohs. Back in the ring, Owens goes to scoop Harker up, but Harker clubs his way out of it before he scoops Owens up and spins around with a huge sidewalk slam.

 

Sharper: “Harker fighting off Owens.”

 

Knots: “That’s not good for anyone.”

 

Harker turns over and starts to stir as we cut to the crowd to see a gash having formed over the eyes of Scott. Scott falls over, blood dripping down onto the concrete and colouring her hair. Mordred grabs her and nails her with a hard right, showing blood coming down her face. Mordred then turns and runs her over and throws her over the barricade and into the open area by Wolfe and Lues. He slowly heads over as back in the ring. Harker lifts Owens up and headbutts him. He falls back and onto the chairs that were set up in the ring by him. Pain then climbs to the top rope, turning his back to Owens before diving back with a no-look senton and onto Owens, through the chairs. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Pain! God. Owens has to be ruined!”

 

Knots: “Holy crap. He didn’t look and they’re just in a jumble of steel!”

 

Sharper: “Owens down. Harker now moving those mangled chairs!”

 

Harker starts to clear the chairs, throwing them away, causing them to bounce off the ropes. Pain rolls over and Harker goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Amy pulls Harker off from the floor. Back by the stage, we see Mordred stepping over, but Scott nails him with a hard right and then another and another. Mordred elbows her and Scott turns around and bends over and Wolfe runs over and jumps onto the back of Scott before Wolfe hits a kick to the head of Mordred. Wolfe falls over and down to the floor. Scott turns and grabs Mordred and then places his throat against  the top of the railing and pulls down, choking him. The crowd roars. Wolfe starts to stir as Lues rolls over. Wolfe gets up and looks at Scott. Scott looks at her as Wolfe climbs over the railing. She staggers forward as Harker nails Amy with a couple of shots on the floor and throws her into the announce table. Amy falls to a knee. Harker turns back to the ring and grabs a table and pulls it out. He then unfolds the legs and places it next to the ring. Harker looks in the ring and then reaches underneath and pulls out another board, this one covered in mouse traps.

 

Sharper: “What in the hell is that?”

 

Knots: “They have a board with mousetraps on it!”

 

Sharper: “These sick bastards!”

 

Chastaine rolls onto the announce table as Harker turns and enters the ring. He rolls in and grabs Owens. Chastaine rolls off the table as Harker places Owen’s head between his legs. He then turns and hoists him up. He turns and runs and hits the Nullity over the top rope, but Chastaine pulls the mouse-trap lined board away and Owens goes through to the floor. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Owens! God! Through the table!”

 

Knots: “First the chairs, now that. Chastaine prevented it from being worse!”

 

Back at the floor by the stage, we see Wolfe bent over, from a shot from Lues. Lues grabs her head and turns her over before hitting the Antidote on the floor. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Antidote on the floor!”

 

Knots: “Two down!”

 

Sharper: “Numbers on the side of the House of James!”

 

Scott turns and sees this. Lues looks at Wolfe and smiles before The One heads over and runs at her, full steam and drills her in the back of the head with a Hidden Blade. The crowd ohs as Lues goes down into a heap.

 

Sharper: “And Scott damn near takes Lues head off!”

 

Knots: “Maybe Wolf owes Scott again!”

 

Chastaine looks in the ring as Scott leans against the rampway. Chastaine checks on Owens first before Pain slowly moves and Harker exits the ring. Chastaine watches him as Harker drops down. Chastaine nails him with a hard right and then another before Harker goes for the knee of Chastaine. Chastaine staggers and Harker grabs her and just throws her back hard. Chastaine rolls through on the mats, hitting them hard and rolling through. Harker then turns and walks over to the ring, grabbing one of the chairs that had been unfolded and managing to pull it through the ropes. He then walks over to the entrance way and places it down before turning to Chastaine. Chastaine again nails him with a shot and then another before Harker knees her in the ribs. He turns and throws her back first into the ringpost. Chastaine staggers and Harker grabs her and places her on the steel chair. He nails her with a hard right before rolling into the ring. Harker walks over to Pain and pats him on the back and points. Pain nods and Harker whips him into the ropes. Pain bounces off and Harker pushes him for good measure. Pain dives through the ropes and Chastaine moves out of the way as Pain flips into the chair, bouncing off and rolling into the entrance way. The crowd roars. Harker turns and heads over and steps through, but Chastaine then grabs the chair and turns and swings, nailing Harker with the shot. Harker falls back.

 

Sharper: “Pain through a chair! Harker knocked back!”

 

Knots: “Chastaine trying to keep a pulse going for her team!”

 

Sharper: “Scott and Chastaine are the only two up!”

 

Mordred meanwhiles runs at Scott and goes for a running boot. Scott moves out of the way as his boot goes through the side of the ramp. The crowd ohs. Scott turns and nails him with a couple of hard rights to the back and then head. Mordred grabs her by the throat, trying to stop her, but Scott kicks him in the other leg. Scott backs up and then turns and runs at him before another Hidden Blade, but Mordred gets free before lifting Scott up and throwing her onto the rampway. The crowd ohs. Mordred limps a bit and then turns and moves to the rampway. He climbs up onto it. Chastaine sees this and heads over to help Scott. Chastaine runs at Mordred and nails him in the back once and then again before grabbing him. Mordred however turns and throws her back. Chastaine rolls through. Mordred then turns and boots Scott as she gets up in the face. Mordred turns back and Chastaine starts to get up and Mordred grabs her and looks back before hitting a choke throw into Scott as she stirs. Chastaine rolls through. Mordred then looks around before starting to head to the ring. Owens remains down on the floor. Mordred storms to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Mordred, that monster, a difference maker.”

 

Knots: “Every time they get something going…Chastaine even tried to help Scott.”

 

Sharper: “And then was used as a weapon. Mordred knows Chance Owens is the only person here.”

 

Harker stirs, blood coming down his face, as Mordred walks around the ring and then smiles. He heads over to Chance and looks at the mouse trap board. Mordred steps over it and grabs Owens and throws her back first into the apron. Mordred then looks at him, saying something to him. Mordred then climbs onto the apron. He pulls Owens up by the throat and holds him up while looking at the rampway. The camera angle changes to show Scott and Chastaine down and Pain stirring. Mordred then puts him down and kicks him in the ribs.

 

Sharper: “Oh no. Mordred looking to end this.”

 

Mordred looks around and then sets up for the Fall of an Empire. He goes to lift him up, but Owens drops down and low blows Mordred. The crowd erupts in cheers. Owens then slides to the floor. He looks up at Mordred and Mordred turns just enough for Owens to reach up and steps forward, powerbombing Mordred into the mouse trap board. The crowd ohs. Mordred flinches with each trap clapping closed as Owens falls over. He looks around.

 

Sharper: “And Owens saving himself and maybe that will be the jump start his team needs to fight back. Mordred down-“

 

Knots: “The mouse traps are still going off!”

 

Chance Owens grabs at the ropes. Owen turns and looks around as he starts to get up. H eturns and Harker grabs him, pulling him into the ring. Owens rolls over as Harker then looks around before finding a chair. He then places it down as Pain gets up and Chastaine and Scott both get up, helping each other. They then head to the ring. The One nails Pain as Chastaine heads to the ring. Owens turns and nails Harker in the ribs with a hard right and then another before hitting a jawbreaker. Harker staggers back.

Sharper: “Blackout! Chastaine returning to the ring! Just in time!”

 

Knots: “Just in time!”

 

Chastaine then rolls over and gets up and Pain then runs over and hits a dropkick, knocking her over. Pain then turns and looks around and grabs the chair Harker had put down. He looks around and Chastaine gets up. Owens too. Pain turns and goes to swing at Chastaine. Chastaine ducks and Pain catches Owens in the shoulder. He falls through the ropes to the floor. Pain turns and unfolds the chair before kicking Chastaine in the ribs for good measure. Pain turns and Scott rolls into the ring. Pain nails her with a  hard right and then another and another before lifting her up onto the top rope. Pain looks up before climbing up to the top rope.

Sharper: “Oh my God! Through the chair! The Downward Spiral from the middle rope!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Scott falls back as her music plays throughout the arena.

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners, the team of Cassie Wolfe, Chance Owens, Amy Chastaine, and Kirsten Scott!”

 

The crowd cheers some more. Wolfe limps towards the rampway as Owens stirs on the floor.

 

Sharper: “And hese four coming together to defeat the House of James here tonight!”

 

Knots: “In a war. They said it was an underground war and it was a war!”

 

Amy slowly gets up, wincing a bit as Owens enters. Scott has her arm raised and then as Chastaine and Owens go over to her, Scott rolls to the floor. She then starts to walk around the ring. She winces as she does. Chastaine and Owens look at her. Wolfe walks over to Scott and Scott just walks past her.

 

Sharper: “And looks like Kirsten Scott has done what she wanted to do and she’s leaving.”

 

Knots: “Not even celebrating. But the House of James…bodies all about. Even the winners, they look like they’ve been through hell.”

 

Scott continues to head to the back.

 

Sharper: “And speaking of going through hell, Adam Brock is hoping to put Simon Lyman through it. Brock had it with Lyman’s antics and well, it’s led to tonight.”

 

A recap video plays the short history of how Adam Brock and Simon Lyman came to clash at Body, Heart, and Soul 2024.

 

Adam Brock vs. Simon Lyman

 

The howl of a wolf echoes throughout the arena, sending chills down everyone’s spines. The howl is followed by a low bass line which is eventually joined by drums and guitars, then the vocals kick in.

“Watching sand fall...
And listening for the knock
Upon my door (Listen)
And waiting...
For Promised Land”

FWOOSH!!! A series of red, gold and silver fireworks go off at the top of the ramp in a shimmering cascade. A roaming spotlight seeks to penetrate the darkness and find something... Or, perhaps, SOMEONE. A momentary silence, then...

POW!

Four blue fireworks go off and engulf the stage in their light. And as they die away, the darkness falls once more. But it’s not complete... The roaming spotlight catches glimpses of movement, but it’s too indistinct.

“Standing deep in life
My ring of brass
Lay rusting on the floor
Is this all?
Cause it’s not
What I expected!”

BAM!

White-hot green fireworks go off now and this time the spotlight DOES catch someone. Standing there amid the ghastly green glow is the one and only “Wolfsbane” Adam Brock! The fans erupt in a cavalcade of screaming and applause that seems to catch him off guard, but only for a second.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he is… ‘Wolfsbane’ Adam Brock!”

He grins wickedly and makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans and pausing to hug a little boy. One overenthusiastic fan grabs him around the neck in a big hug and he makes a big deal out of it, letting one leg go forward in a comical display of being snared. Then he turns around and gives her a huge hug in return before she lets him go. Some of the fans are laughing now... The twinkle in his eye tells them he did that on purpose! He grins and jogs up the ring steps before grabbing the top rope and catapulting over it to stand in the middle of the ring. Once his feet make contact, the cleverly disguised pyro containers secured to the ringposts go off and send showers of purple confetti fireworks all over the crowd. It showers down over him as he turns a slow circle in the ring, basking in the cheers of the adoring fans. When the last of the confetti touches down, Adam does one final turn to face the ramp, hands resting on his legs above his knees as his eyes narrow into a glare.

Sharper: “Ever since the start of this year, Adam Brock has been very vocal about what he thinks of Simon Lyman and how he’s been acting over the past several months. Tonight, he gets a chance to hopefully knock some sense into Simon’s skull.”

Knots: “He asked for this match and Simon probably had bigger and better plans for tonight, but last Breakdown he responded by laying waste to Brock after his Television Title match and you can tell by the look in Adam’s eyes that he’s ready to pay Simon back for it.”

"Hero" by Skillet plays throughout the arena. The crowd boos as the lights flash around the stage. A few moments pass before Simon Lyman walks out from the back in his wrestling robe. He looks around and poses to the crowd as pyro shoots from both sides of the stage, which only draws further boos. Lyman glances at the ring before nodding and starts to head to the ring.

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

Lyman walks down to the ring and goes to the steel steps. He walks up them and onto the apron. He looks around and nods before stepping into the ring. He steps forward and extends his arms again. The crowd boos. Lyman looks around, seemingly annoyed by this response. Simon then undoes the strap of the robe before sliding the robe down and turning and spinning it around. He looks out at the crowd before placing the robe over the top rope to the floor. He then stretches out against the ropes as he and Adam lock eyes.

Sharper: “The man I’m watching right now is a far cry from the man I thought I knew. All the shots he’s taken at his former friend Amy Chastaine and her issues, anyone associated with her, the way he broke into the home of our World Champion Asher Hayes in some sort of bid to get another World Title shot, the overly dramatic way he’s-”

Knots: “Alright Sharper, it’s clear you’ve got issues with this new Simon Lyman and you’re not exactly wrong about how low he’s sunk lately. Still, it’s a brand new year, and a win here tonight for this new Simon Lyman could put him on the right track to getting himself where he wants to be, regardless of whether or not anybody agrees with him on it.”

The bell rings and Adam wastes no time in charging at Simon, who quickly scurries out to the floor. Adam leans over the top rope, demanding that Simon get in the ring and face him, to which Simon holds up his hands and agrees if he backs off and gives him space.  Adam rolls his eyes but reluctantly backs away, and Simon takes his sweet time walking up the steel steps and along the apron. He deliberately starts stepping through the ropes as slowly as possible, which Adam has enough of and rushes him again only for Simon to back out to the apron as the referee gets between the two, admonishing Adam for trying to attack Simon while he’s in the ropes as Simon tells the referee to make him back off. Adam does take a few steps back but continues trying to get around the referee as Simon starts slowly stepping into the ring again, but Adam manages to get around the referee and rushes Simon again only for him to just head back out to the floor, which causes the fans to shower him with boos. Adam yells at Simon to get in the ring already as Simon just shakes his head.

Lyman: “I’m not going to wrestle someone who won’t even let me in the ring. How is that fair?”

Incensed by that, Adam finally climbs out of the ring as Simon takes off, with Adam in hot pursuit around the ringside area until Simon finally slides into the ring. Adam slides in after him, but Simon catches him as he tries to rise with a running knee lift! With Adam down, Simon grabs the top rope to balance himself as he starts stomping away at Adam, the referee trying to make him stop before starting to count, to which Simon breaks at two before holding up his hands and feigning innocence to the referee. As Simon pleads his case, he does deliver one more stomp to Adam’s midsection for good measure.

Sharper: “Simon already playing games with Adam Brock and trying to push his buttons. It almost feels like I’m watching an entirely different person because none of this is the Simon Lyman I once knew.”

Knots: “You heard it on Breakdown: the old Simon Lyman is dead and this man has been reborn from his ashes! Besides, Simon can hardly be blamed when we’ve seen what kind of hothead Adam can be when something gets under his skin. He did get suspended for trying to pick fights with people, after all.”

Adam starts to use the ropes to help him get back to his feet, but as soon as he’s back up Simon clobbers him from behind before spinning him around and laying into him with right hands as Adam’s back is against the ropes. Simon then grabs his wrist and irish whips him across the ring before running at him enough to catch him in the gut with a kitchen sink knee, sending Adam flipping back to the mat. Simon then follows this up with an elbow drop before going for a pin, shoving his forearm into Adam’s face as he makes the cover.

1!

Adam Brock kicks out! Simon looks annoyed that he didn’t win this match quickly as he grabs Adam by the hair and starts pulling him back to his feet, landing the occasional right hand to the temple to try and keep him stunned. He irish whips him into the ropes again and tries to catch him on the rebound with a samoan drop, but Adam manages to slide off Simon’s shoulders before catching him as he turns around with a step-up enzuigiri! The fans start cheering as Simon hits the mat and immediately rolls out to the floor right in front of the announce table. He and Adam lock eyes before Simon turns to Sharper and Knots.

Lyman: “Can you believe this guy?”

Sharper: “I believe you should focus on the match, Simon.”

Lyman: “I am focused on it! Brock’s the one over here who’s not treating this match as seriously as he needs to.”

Knots: “You might want to look again.”

As Knots points behind Simon, he raises an eyebrow and turns just in time for Adam to catch him with an asai moonsault, driving his back against the edge of the announce table!

Sharper: “Both men are out here in a heap right in front of us! Simon was busy trying to talk with us instead of focusing on the damn match and he paid for it!”

Knots: “I tried to warn him!”

Adam is the first one back to his feet, using the announce table for assistance before he grabs Simon by the head and hauls him to his feet so he can throw him back in the ring. He climbs up onto the apron before slingshotting himself over the top rope and into a leg drop across Simon’s throat! Adam makes the cover.

1!

2!

Simon Lyman kicks out right at the count of two! He tries rolling away from Adam, heading towards the other side of the ring, but Adam is quick to leap over him and block his path. He grabs Simon’s legs, but whatever he may be planning is halted as Simon manages to free one of them and catch Adam in the face with an up kick. Adam staggers back as Simon scrambles away, reaching the ropes and using them to pull himself up. Adam charges him, but Simon sees him coming and manages to backdrop him over the top rope, only for Adam to land on the apron. Simon spins around and tries to clothesline Adam off the apron, but Adam ducks it before catching Simon with a shoulder thrust through the ropes, doubling him over. He then follows this up by slingshotting himself into a DDT! He goes for the cover.

1!

Simon’s foot immediately finds the bottom rope, breaking up the count!

Knots: “Too close to the ropes on that one… it’s weird to think a veteran like Brock would make such a simple mistake like that.”

Sharper: “He’s frustrated with Simon’s antics, like I think many people are at this point, and it’s clouding some of his judgment.”

Adam grabs Simon’s head and starts pulling him back up, but Simon suddenly grabs at Adam’s trunks and rolls back, throwing Adam through the ropes and out to the floor! Simon gladly takes the opportunity to get his bearings as he slowly pulls himself back to his feet. Adam recovers fairly quickly, however, and slides back into the ring only for Simon to catch him charging in with a clothesline! Simon just smirks down at Adam before grabbing his leg and kicking the back of his knee, causing Adam to wince as Simon repeats this again and again. He lets go so Adam can roll away and try to get to his feet, clutching at the back of his knee. He just gets back to his feet before Simon sends him back to the mat courtesy of a chop block to that knee! The fans are booing and Simon just looks out at them and laughs before grabbing Adam’s leg again and delivering an elbow drop to the inside of the knee, which he then proceeds to start wrenching on as Adam grunts in pain, trying to push him off.

Sharper: “Simon now going for the knee, trying to take away a lot of Brock’s offense.”

Knots: “I have a feeling he won’t have to worry about eating any more moonsaults if Adam can’t properly balance on only one leg.”

The referee checks with Adam, asking if he wants to submit as Simon continues wrenching on his knee, but Adam refuses. Simon ultimately releases the submission and steps back to lean against the ropes, almost daring Adam to try getting back to his feet. Adam tries to do so quickly, only to stagger a bit from the damage done to his knee, and that’s when Simon moves in and kicks his knee out from under him to put him back on the mat. Simon just grins and leans down to say something to Adam, but is surprised when Adam suddenly throws his legs up and drags Simon into a victory roll pin!

Simon Lyman kicks out! He quickly gets back to his feet before charging at a rising Adam Brock and catching him with a swinging neckbreaker! Simon takes a moment to look out at all the booing fans, holding out his arms as though he’s asking them why they’re treating him like the bad guy here. He just shakes his head before he grabs Adam’s head and pulls him up before positioning him for what looks like a potential cradle piledriver, but Adam manages to pick Simon’s leg and trip him to the mat before turning into a single leg crab! He kneels down, trying not to put a lot of weight on his own knee Simon’s been targeting as the referee checks with Simon, who shakes his head and quickly tries crawling towards the ropes. He manages to reach the bottom rope with his fingertips, but Adam manages to drag him back to the center of the ring as Simon frantically flails his arms trying to prevent this. The referee checks with Simon again, and not only does he still refuse to submit, he also desperately grabs the referee’s pants, causing the poor official to stumble and trip trying to get free. Adam ends up releasing the hold and going to check on him, but Simon is quick to roll him up with a schoolboy pin, grabbing Adam’s trunks once the referee’s in position to count and can’t see it!

Adam Brock kicks out!

Sharper: “Any time Adam Brock has managed to get anything going for him, Simon Lyman has found some shortcut to rip it away from him!”

Knots: “Sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to win Adam, and it seems to me like Simon finally understands that logic.”

As both men get back to their feet, Adam attempts to kick Simon in the gut only for Simon to catch his foot. Before Adam can respond, however, Simon lunges at him and tries to thumb him right in the eye, but Adam grabs his wrist to stop him! Simon’s eyes go wide before he tries to clothesline Adam with his other arm, but Adam ducks this and uses the wrist he still has hold of to put Simon in a cobra clutch! The referee checks with Simon once more to see if he’ll submit this time, stepping out of range when Simon attempts to grab at him like before. Adam drags Simon back to the center of the ring, thrashing him around to try and finally get Simon Lyman to call it quits. Simon yells out his refusal to submit as he tries to drag himself to the ropes, but Adam refuses to let him go very far as Simon looks like he’s starting to fade. Just when it seems like Simon’s starting to droop from the hold sapping him of his strength, he manages to kick back and catch Adam in the knee, forcing him to release the cobra clutch as he staggers back clutching at it. Simon huffs at this match clearly not going how he thought it would before he turns around and charges at Adam, only to find himself back body dropped over the top rope and out to the floor! He slowly gets back to his feet as Adam takes a moment to try and stretch some of the pain out of his knee. Once Adam sees that Simon is upright again, he runs off the ropes and Simon turns just in time to see Adam leaping over the top rope with a plancha that he ends up turning into the Call of the Wolf, spiking Simon’s head into the mats!

Sharper: “Call of the Wolf! Adam Brock soaring out of the ring and he finally has firm control of this match, despite Simon’s best efforts!”

Knots: “Simon’s been working over that knee trying to prevent this exact scenario from happening, but Adam Brock refusing to be grounded when it comes to kicking Simon’s ass!”

The fans are on their feet as the referee begins to count both men out, with Adam starting to stir first. He uses the apron to help himself back to his feet, the look on his face a clear sign of how much his knee did not like what he just did. He manages to pull himself back into the ring just as Simon begins to stir, very slowly trying to pull himself back up with help from the ring skirt and then the apron as well. Adam starts to look concerned that Simon might not beat the count, preparing to reset it if need be because he wants to beat Simon clean to prove his point, but as the referee makes it to nine Simon manages to pull himself into the ring! He tries to get back to his feet, but suddenly loses his grip on the ropes and falls back to the mat, head rolling to the side as he looks glassy-eyed. Adam goes to grab him, but the referee cuts him off before moving in to check on Simon, sensing that something’s wrong. Simon keeps trying to get back to his feet but looks like he barely knows where he is, occasionally convulsing in a way that’s difficult to watch.

Knots: “That Call of the Wolf from Brock might’ve done some serious damage.”

Sharper: “As much as I’ve had to say about Simon’s new attitude, the man still had a stroke and the fact that he returned to the ring at all is nothing short of a miracle. The way he landed off that big DDT out on the floor… love him or hate him, you hate to see anybody get seriously hurt in this sport.”

Adam actually starts to look concerned at what’s going on with Simon as the referee motions to the ringside doctor, who rushes over to that side of the ring and starts trying to check on Simon from out on the floor. Adam turns away from the scene, looking out at the deathly silent crowd with regret as he didn’t mean to go this far. The referee is about to throw up the dreaded ‘X’ sign to the back for more help, but suddenly Simon springs to life and rushes Adam, catching him from behind with another chop block that buckles him! The fans are booing like crazy for the sick act they’ve just seen, but Simon is undeterred as he grabs Adam by the head and delivers a nasty spike DDT! He goes for a cover, the referee delayed in getting into position and having to be angrily waved over by Simon from being in sheer disbelief over what he’d just witnessed, but he eventually snaps out of it and goes to make the count.

Adam Brock kicks out! Simon immediately gets in the referee’s face, demanding to know why the referee wasn’t ready to make the count and ignoring the referee’s argument about what he’d just pulled.

Sharper: “Are you kidding me!? Is Simon Lyman that desperate that he’ll stoop so low as to use the stroke he suffered and its effects on him just to try and get one over on Adam Brock!?”

Knots: “We’ve heard him throw around the fact that he’s a stroke survivor to try and garner sympathy from those who have an issue with him, including the fans, but even I didn’t think he’d pull a stunt like this.”

Simon backs the referee into a corner, demanding that he do better at his job despite what just happened. He’s so focused on berating the official, however, that he doesn’t notice Adam slowly pulling himself to his feet, looking absolutely furious over the stunt Simon just pulled. Just as Simon is about to give up on trying to lecture the official, Adam suddenly grabs him from behind and plants him with the Silent Screams! He goes for the cover, hooking the leg.

Simon Lyman kicks out! Adam shakes this off quickly, however, as he mounts Simon and begins raining down right hands, demanding answers regarding how Simon can live with himself after pulling a stunt like the one he just did. He angrily hauls Simon to his feet and irish whips him into the corner, where Simon hits the turnbuckles hard and winces in agony upon impact. Adam takes a moment to try and shake some feeling back into his knee before he rushes in and attempts the Silver Bullet, but Simon manages to sidestep and Adam crashes into the corner himself! He staggers out of the corner and Simon proceeds to plant him with A Change in Attitude! He goes for the cover.

Adam Brock gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: Adam Brock continuing to fight no matter how low Simon stoops to try and get out of here with this win!”

Knots: “He has to figure out a way to take control and hang on to it though, because so far Simon’s constantly found a way to reclaim it no matter how low he’s had to go to do it!”

Simon now mounts Adam and begins raining down right hands of his own, garnering more boos from the fans as he tries to beat Adam senseless. He finally stops when the referee admonishes him, which causes Simon to shoot him a glare before pulling Adam to his feet and dragging him over to the corner. He starts to climb the turnbuckles, bringing Adam with him before he tries to set him up for Putting on a Show, but Adam manages to squirm free! He lands on the top turnbuckle and starts smashing Simon in the back of the head with stiff forearm strikes, eventually forcing Simon to jump off the turnbuckles and back to the mat to create some space. Simon turns just in time to see that Adam’s gotten himself set before he catches him with the Roadkill! Adam crawls over and drapes an arm across Simon’s chest for the pin.

Simon Lyman gets his foot on the bottom rope!

Sharper: “Brock managing to avert disaster, but the Roadkill only gets him another two count.”

Knots: “The question is how long can he maintain the upper hand before Simon tries something else to take it back.”

Both men slowly get back to their feet, glaring at each other as they do. Adam is the first one to strike, catching Simon with a forearm to the face. Simon staggers back before he fires off a forearm of his own. Adam struggles to stay upright with only one good leg, but he recovers and fires off another forearm, the two men trading forearm strikes as the fans alternate between cheers and boos depending on who lands the next strike. Adam finally lands a forearm that knocks Simon back against the ropes, but as he rebounds he throws a kick that Adam catches! He looks down and realizes Simon fully intended to kick him below the belt, lifting his glare to Simon before spinning him around and trying to go for the Silent Screams again! Simon struggles to fight him off, bringing both men into the corner as Simon manages to get his arms free and climbs to the top turnbuckle for dear life. Adam manages to find enough strength to jerk him away, but as he does, the top turnbuckle is ripped off and exposed! The referee sees this and goes to reattach it as Adam hooks Simon’s arms again, but Simon sees the referee is preoccupied and stops the Silent Screams by swinging his leg back with a low blow! The fans wince and boo as Adam crumples to the mat, with Simon staring down at him before glancing over at the referee who missed all of it. He slides out of the ring and digs around underneath it for a moment before producing a steel chair.

Sharper: “Simon taking advantage of the referee’s attention being diverted by that turnbuckle pad he ripped off, and now he’s got evil intentions.”

Knots: “This poor referee is getting a workout just trying to keep up with all of Simon’s rulebending!”

Simon slides back into the ring and lays the chair on the mat, positioning it to his liking. He then grabs Adam by the head and pulls him up before positioning him for a potential powerbomb, perhaps looking to repeat his Breakdown attack with The Adrenaline Shot on the chair. The referee, however, notices the chair out of the corner of his eye and abandons putting the turnbuckle pad back on to kick it out of the ring, leading to Simon just throwing Adam back to the mat and accosting the referee for doing that, despite the protests of the chair being illegal. Simon just rolls his eyes and starts berating the referee again, but he’s cut off as Adam suddenly grabs him from behind in an inverted facelock and takes him down to the mat into the Desert Heat! The fans are roaring as Adam uses his good leg as the brace to apply extra pressure on Simon’s neck as he flails around, desperately trying to find the ropes. The referee checks in with him, but he refuses to submit as he tries to drag both men towards the ropes, but Adam is doing his absolute best to stay rooted where he’s at. Simon finally starts reaching up and attempting to rake Adam’s eyes to break the hold, and while Adam manages to block it he does have to loosen his hold to do so, which allows Simon to slip free. Simon rolls over to the corner and uses it to pull himself back to his feet, knocking the loose turnbuckle pad back off in the process as Adam remains in a crouch, staring him down while also trying to shake some feeling back into his damaged knee. Simon looks fed up at this point as he charges Adam, but Adam explodes out of the crouch with the Appetite for Destruction! Simon, however, lowers his base a bit and uses the position to give Adam enough of a nudge that the extra elevation makes him miss the strike. Adam lands in the corner, staggering because of landing on his bad leg but managing to keep himself from flying facefirst into the exposed turnbuckle like Simon likely wanted. He turns around and Simon suddenly catches him with Leading the Revolution, smashing Adam’s skull between the sole of his boot and the exposed turnbuckle! The fans shower Simon with boos as some in the front row cringe at the impact, but Simon ignores it as he drags Adam away from the corner and makes the cover, hooking the leg.

The bell rings and "Hero" by Skillet hits again, but is virtually drowned out by the boos of the fans. Simon is smiling, however, as he stands up and demands the referee raises his arm which he reluctantly does.

Phillips: “Here is your winner… Simon Lyman!”

Sharper: “Simon Lyman had to resort to every underhanded trick in the book, including scaring the daylights out of all of us thinking he was seriously hurt, to get this win tonight, and he should be ashamed of himself.”

Knots: “That turnbuckle he exposed was ultimately the difference maker. Adam Brock put up a hell of a fight, don’t get me wrong, but Simon found a way to weather the storm like the true hero he claims to be.”

Sharper: “Simon Lyman is no hero, and the way he acted throughout this match speaks volumes on what kind of man he’s become.”

Simon looks down at the unconscious Adam and shakes his head, leaning down to ask him if this was worth it, knowing he won’t get a response. He just laughs it off before slowly exiting the ring and heading to the back while the referee checks on Adam. We see Lisa Archer and Elijah Smith step out onto the stage to meet Simon as the fans only boo louder, but Simon doesn’t care as they congratulate him on the well-earned victory as Simon claims he barely broke a sweat, despite the signs of pain and discomfort that indicate otherwise. He looks down at Adam laying in the ring one more time before the three of them disappear to the back.

 

A recap video plays showing the history between Alistaire Allocco, Bree Lancaster and Autumn Valentine.

 

Autumn Valentine vs. Bree Lancaster vs. Alistaire Allocco

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

Phillips: “Fans, it is now time for the SCW Adrenaline Championship Triple Threat match!”

A woman’s voice can be heard as the video screens display the words she's saying in unison.

"Lexy Chapel Proudly Presents”

“THE ALLOCCO ASSASSIN”

"AUTUMN VALENTINE"

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless hits the PA system as Autumn Valentine walks out onto the stage wearing a black jacket. Across her ring-gear we see the ‘Lexy Chapel Presents’ and ‘Chapel Show’ branding. She pauses on the stage for a moment before being joined by Lexy Chapel who starts pointing at her and yelling at the fans to cheer for her. Around Lexy’s neck we see a lanyard which appears to be a manager’s license.

Phillips: “Introducing, hailing from Los Angeles, California, accompanied, and PROUDLY represented, by Lexy Chapel, this is AUTUMN VALENTINE!”

Autumn walks to the ring accompanied by Lexy. She skips up to the apron and jumps up before sliding off her jacket and letting it fall to the floor. She then runs at the turnbuckles, climbing up and throwing up her arms before looking to the camera confidently. She jumps from the outside of the ropes to inside of the ring, rolling back to her feet before walking the middle of the ring and dropping down into the splits. Lexy walks behind her, pointing down at her and still trying to get the fans to support her. Lexy holds a hand down to pull Autumn back to her feet as Autumn walks to the corner, looking towards the ramp as her music fades out.”

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine appears ready for her championship opportunity, one that she's been talking about since her return from injury.”

Knots: “Deserved, too! Some people disagree, but she's looked great since her return, and hey... if Syren didn't want the rematch, why not hand it over?”

Sharper: “Well, our next challenger doesn't think rematches are meant to work like that, and I'd lean towards agreeing.”

The lights dim, only a few small ones on the stage as the voice of Bree Lancaster whispers:

“I am the light of the truth
The one who sees right through”

A guitar riff plays as the small lights dance around the stage, then suddenly stop, as one large beam shines down onto the figure of Bree herself.

“Spotlight”

The smaller lights begin again swirling as the music of “Spotlight” by Fozzy kicks in and Bree makes her way down the ramp.

[I am the light of the truth, The one who sees right through
I know your every move, I got my eye on you
Go on and bury it down, I follow you 'til it's out
I got my eye on you, I got my eye on you]

Bree smiles at the front row fans as she gets to the ring and goes up the steps, stepping through the ropes. She goes to a corner and gets on the second turnbuckle, posing with one hand up overhead. The crowd cheers.

[You're the wicked, I'm a sharp knife
Shining on you like a spotlight
I'm a witness, I'm a dark night]

The lights go down, and one beam shines on Bree in the corner.

[You're a sickness, I'm your spotlight]

The lights come up and Bree hops down as the music fades out. Bree gets to her corner and looks around.

Sharper: “New sound, same confidence in Bree Lancaster as she steps into the ring.”

Knots: “Former Adrenaline Champion herself, she took offense with both the way our champion Alistaire Allocco came to hold the championship, and with Autumn's claim. She staked her own claim, and here we are.”

Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes!
Rise!!!!
Look deep into his eyes, that's where the fire lies!

The spotlights shine forth from the stage, bathing the entire arena in blinding white lights corresponding with a verse of “Eyes Like Fire” by Collision of Innocence. A figure stands in front of the curtains; his arms are extended horizontally, and his legs are spread. His back is turned to the audience. His presence incites a chorus of cheers from the crowd. As the bright lights start to dim, you can tell the man is wearing pure white tights. A blood-red sleeveless coat stretched from his defined torso down to his equally bright white boots, the SCW Adrenaline Championship draped over his shoulder. Pyros explode around the entranceway, timed perfectly for Alistaire Allocco to kick out his leg to turn to face the crowd.

Phillips: “And their opponent... from Rochester, New York, he is the current SCW Adrenaline Champion.. Alistaire Allocco!”

Adam Allocco appears behind Alistaire as he begins to walk down the ramp, Adam following. With his dark eyes staring intently at the ring before him, Alistaire marches down with purpose, waving and smiling to the children in the crowd. He stops at the bottom of the ramp for a moment before launching forward, sliding into the ring. Adam remains at ringside as the music fades.

Sharper: “Alistaire Allocco with his father Adam in his corner. Autumn Valentine has Lexy Chapel. Bree Lancaster, a woman alone.”

Knots: “Hey, do you remember that guy who used to follow her around and get involved? Scott, right? Maybe she should have given him a call, she wouldn't be outnumbered.”

The official holds the Adrenaline Championship belt up in the middle of the ring, as we see a wide shot showing all three competitors looking up at it. The official goes the corner, hands the belt off, and calls for the bell.

Immediately, Autumn runs out of her corner and towards Bree, and drills her into the corner with a forearm smash, before Bree can get her hand up. Autumn then turns and runs towards Alistaire, arm out ready to throw a clothesline. But he sees her coming and ducks under. Autumn stops her momentum on the ropes and turns, directly into Alistaire's knee! The crowd ohs as Autumn staggers backwards into the corner. Bree has gotten up and as Alistaire turns to see where she is, Bree greets him with a forearm shot. She throws another one, but Alistaire grabs her arm, and spins her around into a hammerlock. Bree grits her teeth and tries to fight out of it, only for Alistaire to pull it back tighter. The crowd then roars as Autumn flies in from behind with a dropkick to Alistaire's back. All three hit the mat.

Sharper: “Autumn taking to the sky early and grounding both the champion and her rival challenger!”

Knots: “Looks like Alistaire got the worst of that, too.”

Bree is already up to her feet as Alistaire is still down. Autumn looks between them, and goes after Bree, seeing her as the more imminent threat. The women lock up, and struggle for control. We see Alistaire getting to his feet as Bree gains control. She execute a standing switch and applies a half-Nelson, Autumn's right arm up overhead. Bree pulls back as tight as she can.

Sharper: “Bree's been showing a bit of a different style in recent weeks, more technical based, submission based. She's already targeting the arm for her Tangled Web armbar.”

Knots: “It's been impressive but if she tries to go hold for hold with Alistaire Allocco, she's gonna have a tough night.”

Autumn starts kicking backwards trying to hit Bree's leg, as we see Lexy on the outside looking concerned. Alistaire is up though and walks up behind Bree. The crowd makes noise trying to warn her but Alistaire grabs her around the waist and pulls, forcing her to release Autumn. Autumn steps forward holding her arm as Alistaire adjust his grip on Bree before lifting her up and planting her with a snap suplex. The crowd oohs. Alistaire gets to his feet and turns, as Bree is starting to get up. He pulls her the rest of the way to her feet, then immediately drops her again with a DDT. He looks down as if he wants to go for a cover... but Autumn runs in and grabs his arm to turn him around, then drills him wit a short-arm clothesline. Alistaire hits the mat. Autumn runs the ropes and uses her momentum to plant a leg drop across his chest. She moves for a cover.

1!

Bree dives in and breaks the count.

Sharper: “Autumn with the firs pin attempt of this match only draws a one count. No one's gotten a clear advantage yet.”

Knots: “Everyone's trying to make this their style of match, and eventually that's gonna break down.”

Bree gets to her feet first, followed by Autumn. Autumn goes up to Bree and shoves her backwards, angry about breaking the count. The crowd oohs. Bree glares, and shoves back. Autumn fires off a right hand. Bree takes it well, then steps up and drills Autumn with a BOGO. Autumn steps backwards... right into a waiting Alistaire's arms. He grabs Autumn from behind and takes her down with a German suplex, and bridges for a pin.

1!

Bree runs in and kicks his feet out, breaking the pin. The crowd roars. We see Adam on the outside with his hands on his head in despair. Bree then goes over to Alistaire and grabs a leg, pulling him away from Autumn. She then starts to apply a figure four, setting up for her Crescent Lock. Alistaire kicks his legs though and Bree can't get it locked on. One good kick from Alistaire later and Bree flies backwards, landing on her ass. On the outside we see Lexy laughing hard.

Sharper: “That'll be bruised in the morning.”

Knots: “And Lexy Chapel loves it.”

Sharper: “So does Adam.”

We then see Adam beaming as he leans on the apron. Alistaire gives him a glance before getting to his feet. Autumn is back on her feet now and as Alistaire turns, Autumn hits him with a spinning heel kick. Alistaire goes right back down. He starts to get up, to a knee. Autumn steps up and throws a kick into his chest. The crowd oohs. She hits another, and another, firing off several. Lexy cheers from her corner, as Adam yells, what we can assume are swears. Autumn takes a big step back, setting up for a harder kick, when Adam reaches in under the ropes and grabs Autumn's foot, tripping her. The crowd oohs and boos as Autumn falls face down. She gets her hands down saving herself from a faceplant, but only just.

Sharper: “Adam Allocco getting involved! You had to wonder when, not if, he was going to do so.”

Knots: “Look at how unappreciative Alistaire is! Dad is just trying to help.”

Alistaire, still on his knees and holding his chest in pain, glares at his father. Adam holds his hands up feigning innocence. Lexy though saw it all and gets up on the apron, yelling at the official.

Lexy: “He tripped her! I saw it! He's a menace and needs to be out of here!”

The official didn't see it though, and he shakes his head. Lexy yells in frustration. She hops down and slaps the mat angrily.

Back in the ring Bree and Autumn are both up and trading shots in the middle of the ring. The crowd oohs with each one. Alistaire gets to his feet, and joins the fray, grabbing Bree by the arm to turn her towards him, then lands a chop. Bree grimaces in pain but fires back with a forearm. Autumn intercepts it and nails Alistaire herself with an elbow. Bree pulls her arm back from Autumn, then spins through hitting her wit h backfist. She turns to Alistaire and aims for a BOGO, but she only lands one punch as Alistaire blocks the second. He grabs the arm and spins her around and into the ropes. On the return Alistaire hits a dropkick! He turns to Autumn and grabs her arm, taking her down with an arm drag. He then quickly makes a cover on Bree.

1!

2!

Bree kicks out. Autumn had been aiming to break it up and can't stop herself, so she piles into them both anyway. All three fall to the mat.

Sharper: “Near fall there for Bree, she kicked out though before Autumn took everyone out.”

Knots: “Looks like they're all taking a rest.”

Autumn stirs first, then Bree, as Alistaire had got the worst of Autumn's impact. Lexy slaps the apron in encouragement. Alistaire sits up, near the ropes. Adam leans in, calling for Alistaire's attention. He doesn't want to give it, but does by leaning in. Adam grabs Alistaire and pulls him out of the ring. The crowd boos. Alistaire glares.

Alistaire: “What are you doing? I'm in a match!”

Adam: “So? There's no count outs! Take a rest, son!”

Alistaire shakes his head and backs away from Adam. Back in the ring, Bree and Autumn are up. Autumn grabs Bree and sends her into the ropes. Bree bounces off and Autumn goes for a lariat. Bree ducks under, and Autumn spins out. Bree hits the ropes on the other side, grabbing them to stop from springing off too hard. She turns though and as Autumn regains her bearings Bree drills her with a Priceless to the ribs. The crowd oohs then cheers. Autumn goes down to a knee. We see Alistaire trying to get back into the ring, but Adam holds him back.

Adam: “Let them fight, then you pick the scraps and get the win. Easy!”

Alistaire: “That's not how I want to do this!”

The two continue to bicker as back in the ring, Bree runs and nails Autumn in the head with a knee strike. She then drops and grabs the arm and locks on the Tangled Web. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Bree's got Autumn's arm tight and Autumn is in trouble.”

Knots: “Alistaire! Get in there! Save your championship!”

Alistaire sees what's going on and pushes Adam off. He slides into the ring as Autumn yells in pain. Bree pulls back harder, but Alistaire runs over and stomps Bree in the chest, forcing her to let go. The crowd boos as Autumn rolls away, cradling her arm. Lexy runs to check on her.

Knots: “That was close! Autumn's arm was about to break!”

Sharper: “Alistaire to Bree!”

Alistaire grabs Bree's leg, turning her to her stomach, and locks on the Glorious Revolution! Adam cheers from the outside as Bree yells in pain. Alistaire pulls harder. Bree fights though, trying to get her leg free. Failing this, she looks around, and sees she's not too far away from the ropes. She pushes herself up on her hands, and uses all of her strength to 'walk' herself closer, inch by inch, pulling Alistaire with her. He has no choice but to move with her or lose his balance. Bree gets within an inch or so of the bottom rope, and reaches out, straining to stretch as hard as she can. Her fingertips touch the bottom rope... but Adam steps up and grabs it, pulling the rope away from her. Bree screams in pain and anger as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “Adam again, doing what he can to help his son remain champion.”

Knots: “Of course he is, he passed on the championship to Alistaire, it's up to him to make sure he keeps it!”

Alistaire seems to sense that something is off by the crowd's reaction and Bree's change in scream. He looks over his shoulder and sees Adam holding the rope. Lexy runs in from the side and hits Adam's arm, snapping the rope out of his grip. At the same time Alistaire drops Bree's leg and goes to the ropes. Adam, getting yelled at from two directions, starts to back away. Bree is seen on her back, rubbing her leg. Suddenly, Autumn comes running in and drills Bree with a knee from behind! The crowd oohs.

Sharper: “That's not called the Blindspot for nothing! Bree Lancaster never saw it coming and she could be out!”

Knots: “Cover!”

1!

2!

Bree just barely gets her shoulder up. The crowd cheers as Autumn hits the mat in frustration. Alistaire slides back in and grabs Autumn. They lock up for a moment before he maneuvers her down into an inside cradle.

1!

2!

Autumn kicks out. Both get to their feet. Autumn goes for a shoot kick, but Alistaire catches her leg. He shoves, spinning her around. Autumn somehow keeps her balance and stays on her feet. As she turns back to him, Alistaire throws his own kick to the gut, then drills her with Sins of the Father! The crowd oohs as Autumn drops.

Knots: “Autumn just went down like Kandis in a-”

Sharper: “Hey!”

Alistaire starts to cover, but sees they are close to the ropes. He grabs a leg and drags Autumn towards the middle of the ring. As he does, the crowd starts to murmur and cheer. The shot goes wide and we see Bree in the corner, on her feet and watching.

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster is up! In the corner just stalking.”

Adam sees this and yells at Alistaire, but he pays his father no attention. Instead, he goes down for the cover.

1!

2!

Bree runs in and dives, shoving Alistaire off and breaking the count. They roll through as the crowd cheers. Lexy can't seem to decide if she should cheer for this or not, while Adam looks stunned. Bree gets to her feet first, and watches as Alistaire starts to get up, turned away from her. As soon as he's vertical, Bree runs in and hits the Rectifier! The crowd roars. Lexy starts beating the mat, trying to get Autumn's attention and get her up. Bree makes the cover.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rings just as Autumn turns and sees what's happening. Lexy wails as Bree's music hits.

Phillips: “Your winner by pinfall.... AND NEW SCW Adrenaline Champion... Bree Lancaster!”

Bree lets go and gets to her feet as the crowd cheers. Alistaire stirs, holding his head, as the official hands Bree the belt, then raises her arm.

Sharper: “She did it! Bree Lancaster, after nearly going down to Autumn's knee strike, shook off the cobwebs, saw her spot, and picked it. New champion, and she earned every bit of it.”

Knots: “I don't know who's more upset.... Alistaire, Adam, Autumn, or Lexy.”

Alistaire has rolled to the apron, where Adam shakes his head at his son. Meanwhile Lexy slides into the ring to Autumn's side, talking a mile a minute, but she can't be heard over the crowd and music. The official lets go of Bree's arm, and Bree goes to a corner, gets up on the second turnbuckle, and holds the belt up overhead, smiling out at the crowd.

 

Sharper: “Congratulations to Bree Lancaster! Back as Adrenaline Champion.”

 

Knots: “Could it be a trend?”

 

Sharper: “The start of one? We’ll see. As next, the Underground Championship will be on the line and Kimberly Willaims wants her title back but for James, that title means so much more!”

 

A recap video plays showing the history between Kimberly Williams and James Evans.

 

Kimberly Williams vs. James Evans

SCW Underground Championship

 

The lights go out, except for a single spotlight at the top of the stage. The opening chords to “Patient Number 9” by Ozzy Osbourne begins to play.  A haunting voice is heard…

"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"

The song begins to rage full bore now. Suddenly the lights come back on and Kimberly Williams is standing at the top of the stage to a loud, mostly positive, reaction from the fans. She is pushing her familiar shopping cart of plunder.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and is for the SCW Underground Championship. First, on her way to the ring, the challenger, from Boston, Massachusetts!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Phillips: “She is the Wild Card, Kimberly Williams!”

 

In the cart, one can see WASLEY, a staple gun, a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat, a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire, a kendo stick and more. Kim has a sinister smirk 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, pushing the cart down the rampway. She stops at the edge of the ring and grabs the barbed wire wrapped bat and throws it into the ring. She grabs the chair and does the same. She grabs WASLEY and places him on the apron. She then grabs the kendo stick and throws it in along with the staple gun. She then turns and slides into the ring, underneath the bottom rope. She then gets up and walks around the ring before turning and awaiting the arrival of James Evans.

 

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams is ready for war and the question is…homefield advantage, home town, can she get her title back?”

 

Knots: “She’s got all of those weapons and already ready to use them. James, he’s going to be alone. House of James dispatched earlier!”

 

The opening of “Blood Eagle can be heard blaring through the PA system.  The camera will pan through the curtain as the face of James Evans appears, igniting a negative reaction from the crowd, as they shower him in jeers. The camera remains on James as he breaks through the curtain. The boos intensify as James looks out at the crowd. The SCW Underground Championship sits around his waist.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from New York City, New York, he is the SCW Underground Champion, James Evans!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as James slowly makes his way to the ring and images of James winning various championships and hitting various moves appear on the screen. James reaches the ring and makes his way up the ring steps, before turning and facing the crowd. He steps along the apron before Kim runs over and dropkicks him off the apron. James drops the title and James flies forward into the shopping cart. The crowd erupts. The bell sounds. The SCW Underground Championship logo comes across the screen.

 

Sharper: “Kim firing the first shot. These two have been at each other’s throats for months.”

 

Knots: “Why bother waiting for a fair shot? And James!”

 

Sharper: “Into the shopping cart!”

 

Kimberly Williams steps through the ropes and down to the floor. James struggles a bit as Kim grabs the shopping cart and turns it around. James as a result, ends up turned around, his head at the end. Kim then starts to push it up the rampway. The crowd cheers as Kim has a huge smile on his face. Kim picks up speed as she goes up the rampway and then turns and rams the cart into one of the light panels of the set. That portion goes out as James rolls back and the cart falls over. James rolls over, holding his head. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “And Kim already doing damage to our set!”

 

Knots: “And James’s head and body!”

 

Kim turns and grabs him and pulls him up and then turns and runs him forward and throws him forward. James falls forward and rolls down the rampway. He starts to get up and Kim runs at him and jumps up and hits a dropkick, hurting herself and sending him down the rampway further. James winces and rolls over and Kim gets up and runs at him again and hits another dropkick. James rolls over and to the ringside area. He starts to get up and Kim walks over and grabs him and turns and drags him over to WASLEY.

 

Kim: “WASLEY? Want a shot?”

 

James then grabs her and throws her face first into the ringpost. Kim falls back and rolls over. James then turns and grabs WASLEY and looks at him before turning and throwing him up the rampway. WASLEY bounces as the crowd boos. Kim gets up and swings, but James blocks it and then lifts her up and hits a standing fireman’s carry into a slam. Kim grimaces. James then walks over to the steel steps.

 

Knots: “Bye WASLEY!”

 

Sharper: “That just got under the skin of Kim!”

 

Knots: “Going to have to release a Flightless Birds WASLEY t-shirt now and damn it, Kim, if you do it, I want 12% royalties!”

 

Kim starts to get up and James lifts the top half of the steel steps. He turns and then throws the side onto the back of Kim. Kim drops down in a heap. The steps then fall onto her. The crowd ohs. James looks at her and then reaches under the ring. She feels around before pulling out a steel chair.

 

Sharper: “James using those steps. They weight at least one hundred pounds.”

 

Knots: “And Kim got all of it on her twice. And he’s not done.”

 

Sharper: “We’re just getting started in this one.”

 

James then turns to Kim.

 

James: “So this is what you want? Senseless violence?”

 

James then lifts the chair and drives it into the steel steps. The crowd ohs. James then strikes it again and again and again, hitting it a fourth time, before continuing for a fifth and a sixth. The crowd ohs as Kim remains down. James then throws the chair down. James then looks at her, shaking her head before taking the steps off and throwing them down. He drops down and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Kim kicks out defiantly. She turns, laughing almost.

 

Kim: “Again….again!”

 

James looks at her and then turns back to the steel chair. He lifts it up and turns and nails Kim in the back. Kim gets up and falls to a knee before pulling herself up. She then rolls into the ring. James looks at her and turns and throws the chair into the ring. He then grabs the steel steps and lifts them up. He pushes them into the ring. Kim crawls over to the barbed wire wrapped steel chair.

 

Sharper: “James adding to the weaponry in there.”

 

Knots: “His is more big firepower. Knock out blows. Kim will make it sting.”

 

Sharper: “She has that barbed wire wrapped chair!”

 

Kim grabs it as James rolls into the ring. He looks around at the weapons and runs over and stomps on the chair. He clubs her in the back once and then again before pulling her away. He then pulls her into the ropes and fires her off. Kim bounces off and James clotheslines her down. He rolls over and moves away. James then turns and grabs the barbed wire wrapped steel chair. He holds it up and looks at it and shrugs. He then turns back and starts to move to Kim and Kim suddenly takes the kendo stick thrown in and nails James in the stomach with it. The crowd ohs. James drops the chair. Kim fights her way up and staggers forward and turns and cracks him in the back between the shoulderblades. Kim then takes the kendo stick and places it around the throat of James and then hits a cane-assisted Russian leg sweep. Kim throws the stick away and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

James kicks out. Kim rolls away.

 

Sharper: “First pinfall of the match by Kim. Only two.”

 

Knots: “And right now, they’ve already put each other through hell.”

 

Kim looks around and grabs the barbed wire wrapped baseball bat. James rolls over and stirs as he grabs the steel chair he brought in. Kim then looks around and smiles as the crowd cheers. James gets up and Kim swings overhead, but James uses the chair to block. Kim tries to run it down to cause it to tear against James, but James kicks her in the ribs. He then drives the edge of the chair into the forehead of Kim. Kim falls back. James then walks around the ring before then watching Kim and he then looks at the chair before going to switch underhanded at Kim, but Kim moves out of the way. The crowd ohs. James turns around and Kim just throws herself with the bat in her hand, the head in her hand and drives it into the skull of James. Kim’s hand starts to bleed as she grinds the barbed wire into the forehead of James. She rakes it back and forth before James nails her with a couple of hard shots to the ribs. Kim rolls over. James rolls over, blood coming from his forehead. He starts to get up and turns as Kim swings and nails him in the ribs with the bat. James goes down. Kim then walks around and smiles before running over and driving the barbed wire bat into the back of James’s head. The crowd ohs. Kim keeps the bat on James and rolls him over, causing it to grind into him more, getting a disgusted oh from the crowd.

 

Knots: “And Kim…Jesus!”

 

Sharper: “Keeping the barbed wire connected physically to James Evans for maximum pain!”

 

Kim then leans on it for the pin.

 

Knots: “Even leaning on it herself!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

James kicks out. Kim rolls over, pulling the barbs out of her attire as she rolls over and pulls the bat away. James rolls over, blood streaming down his face. James gets up and slowly staggers to his feet as Kim turns and runs at him and nails him with a hard right for good measure. She then looks around before pulling up the barbed wire steel chair and turns back to James and throws it at his head. The crowd ohs as James falls back to the mat. Kim then looks at him and takes the chair. She smirks as she places it on his head and then starts to run it back and forth, raking it further against his head.

 

Knots: “And Kim is trying to get whatever skin she can from James. This is how she grates cheese at home.”

 

Sharper: “Just turning James Evans’s face into something unrecognizable.”

 

Knots: “Just remember, Kim’s grated cheese tastes like metal for a reason! It’s also a SHARP cheddar!”

 

Kim rakes it across his head a bit more before then lifting it up and going to slam it down on his head. James however moves out of the way. Kim lifts up the chair again and goes to slam it into his head again, but James moves again. Kim then goes to lift up the chair again, but James then grabs Kim and turns and hits a release northern lights suplex onto the top half of the steps James brought in. Kim lands awkward on the steps and rolls through in pain, dropping the chair.

 

Sharper: “Oh! On the steps.”

 

Knots: “All of the edges!”

 

Sharper: “Just a rough landing and aimed to stop Kim and do as much damage.”

 

Kim rolls over and grimaces, slowly getting up, briefly grabbing at her side before stopping. She then gets up and turns around as James hoists her up and turns and drives her hard onto the top of the steps with a spinebuster. The crowd ohs as the impact echoes through. Kim slides down into an awkward way, leaning upside down against the steps. James sees this and then looks around before finding the barbed wire wrapped bat and staggering around before running over and jumping up, driving the bat and the barbed wire into the forehead of Kim. The crowd ohs. Kim rolls back and to her stomach. James grabs her and rolls her to her back. He then reaches over her and grabs the barbed wire wrapped steel chair. He looks down at her and then places the chair on her face. James pushes down on it to help him up. James then looks down.

 

James: “Oh…I can do worse, Kim…I know I can!”

 

James then steps on the chair and grinds his boot into the barbed wire chair, driving it further into her face. The crowd looks on, oohing and ahhing.”

 

Sharper: “Oh dear God. Using his foot for added leverage.”

 

Knots: “Just stomping some wine. Trust me, don’t trust any food from SCW wrestlers!”

 

Sharper: “Grinding that barbed wire into the face of Kim. James continues for a moment longer before stepping off. Kim slowly rolls over and we see some blood starting to come from her face and hand. James then turns and grabs the bat. He then looks around before turning to Kim. His blood drips down before James drives the bat into the chair. The crowd ohs. Kim then pushes the chair off and James hits it again. He rears back and swings a third time. Kim blocks it with her hands. The crowd ohs as James pushes down, driving the bat further into her hands, cutting them up with the barbed wire. Kim fights back and shoves him back. He falls back and rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Kim managing to get James back. While using her own hands to block it.”

 

Knots: “Just tearing them up. And now everything is just going to hurt.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know if Kim cares. As long as she’s the Underground Champion.”

 

James then gets up and turns as Kim gets up and hits the Morrigan’s Wrath. James falls to the mat. Kim looks around and then winces before crawling to the ropes. She then rolls under them and to the floor. She crawls around the ring. Blood drips from her face. She then reaches under the ring. She then grabs a steel chair and throws it into the ring. She then grabs something else, a large plank wrapped in a cloth. She then lifts it up and places it in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Now what the hell is this?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know…”

 

Kim rolls in after and grabs the steel chair and unfolds it. She places it down. She then grabs the chair Evans had and folds it up before slamming it in James’s back as he gets up. The crowd cheers. She unfolds it and places it down. Kim then smiles as he unfolds the cloth and looks down. She then reaches down, blood placing her fingerprints on it, and grabs a plane of glass. The crowd erupts as she holds it up and she turns and places it between the two chairs, across the seats. The crowd continues to cheer as Kim then looks at it and turns to Evans who nails her with a hard right to the ribs. Evans then nails her again and again. He pushes her back into the corner. Kim then nails him back with a shot and then another before Evans reaches up and rakes her eyes. Evans staggers back as Kim winces. Kim then lunges and goes for another Morrigan’s Wrath, but Evans ducks and grabs the barbed wire wrapped chair and strikes Kim in the forehead. Kim goes down. The crowd ohs. James goes for the pin.

2!

 

Kim gets her shoulder up. James looks up and then shakes his head. He then grabs Kim and pulls her up.

 

Sharper: “Kim refusing to stay down.”

 

Knots: “Not with that title on the line. And Kim clearly had plans. But now I think James Evans is going to change them to his favour!”

 

Sharper: “That plane of glass is across the seats of those chairs.”

 

Knots: “I think there’s another plane in that cloth! Kim came with more!”

 

Sharper: “Oh God…and with glass, it will cut, it will scrape, it will get everywhere.”

 

James then pulls Kim up and hoists her up and places her on the top rope. He nails her with a hard right and then another. Kim leans back, blood continuing to come down her face, some of it dried from the fight. James gets up and climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. James then turns his body and looks at the glass before turning to Kim.

 

James: “You will be what is your own demise!”

 

James then knees Kim while standing on the middle rope and grabs her by the head. He turns and Kim then reaches up and rakes his eyes. She grabs him by the head and hair and both grapple before both pulling each other off and both go through the plane of glass, the glass exploding as the crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Kim! James! Through the glass!”

 

Knots: “Glass is everywhere!”

 

The crowd chants “Holy shit!” as Kim and James are both down.

 

REPLAY:

 

We see James pulling Kim as Kim fights with him and the two then dive off together and put each other through the glass, the glass exploding on impact. The crowd cheers. The BHS 2024 logo comes up as we see the carnage from a different angle.

Kim and James remain down, blood coming from the arms of both competitors.

 

James Evans and Kimberly Williams remain down as the crowd continues to chant. James slowly rolls over as does Kim. Kim rolls over, seemingly recovering first. She reaches out and falls over before crawling to the cloth. She grabs something and pulls out the second plane of glass. She smiles as she pulls it up and places it in the corner. She then turns back and grabs the cloth, revealing something else in there before turning and resetting the plane of glass in the corner, but before she can even move, James gets up and runs at her and tackles her into the glass. It shatters as the crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Oh no! Kim! James Evans just speared her through that second plane of glass!”

 

Knots: “And no doubt she got the worst of it!”

 

James rolls over and looks out, pure anger and hatred in his eyes. He then starts to get up, blood coming down his face. Kim is down in a heap and James looks at her and then runs at her and kicks her hard in the side. He looks down and kicks her again in the side and then again and again and again. He yells at her as he keeps kicking her hard, trapping her against the bottom rope and with the broken glass all around.

 

Sharper: “James isn’t stopping! Just kick after kick after kick!”

 

Knots: “This…this is like the old James!”

 

James then starts to stomp away on Kim’s head over and over and over again. The crowd boos loudly as Kim covers up from the onslaught of James’s attack. James doesn’t stop as he stomps away more and more and more. Just then, the crowd roars as we see a redhead, push over the barricade, wearing a Boston Celtics cap and a Kimberly Williams t-shirt. She hops onto the apron and grabs at James and pulls him away. James then shoves her off. The woman falls back as security runs over and pushes her back into the barricade.

 

Sharper: “That’s Marie! Marie Jones! Kim’s sister!”

 

Knots: “I thought they were on the outs! Or at least…not on the same page! She just came from the crowd!”

 

Sharper: “And she’s not on the roster here! Security stopping her.”

 

James just glares at her before pointing at Kim.

 

James: “This is on YOUR neck!”

 

James turns and heads to Kim as Kim then turns and grabs some of the glass and throws it at the face of James. James stumbles back and falls to a knee. He runs his hands across his face as the crowd ohs. Kim then crawls over to the clothe and grabs something before rolling over. She straps something around her knee, over her knee pad. She then grabs at the ropes, fighting through the pain, and blood loss. James then gets up, annoyed and turns around only for Kim to run at him and jump up, hitting the Shadowblade, but on the impact, sparks explode from Kim’s knee. The crowd ohs, many jumping to their feet in awe.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! My God! Kim just…”

 

Knots: “She put explosions to her knee!”

 

Sharper: “And right in James’s face!”

 

Kim turns and rolls over, hooking the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Kim slinks over as the crowd roars. The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and NEW SCW Underground Champion, Kimberly Williams!”

 

Sharper: “In a war, an absolute war…”

 

Knots: “At the end, James was pulling from somewhere. And then Kim…she had a surprise. But what about Marie?”

 

Sharper: “Was Marie part of the surprise? I don’t know, but in Boston, Mass, their hometown, Kimberly Williams is now a five time Underground Champion!”

 

Kim remains next to James as officials run to the ring. EMTs are with them too.

 

Sharper: “And now the attention turns to these two competitors.”

 

Knots: “Both bloodied. Both hurt. God knows what else they’re feeling.”

 

Sharper: “And officials and EMTs checking on Kim and on James.”

 

James Evans rolls over as Kim rolls to a seated position. She smiles as she falls to her side and reaches out. She’s handed her title and Kim takes it, smiling and clutching it as she leans back in the ring.

 

Sharper: “And that look says it all. Kim is overjoyed.”

 

Knots: “If she even knows where she is.”

 

Sharper: “She knows she has her title back. That’s for sure.”

 

Kim remains down, clutching her belt as the scene fades out.

 

A recap video plays showing the history between Dark Fantasy and the Light in the Darkness.

 

At ringside, we see Brittany Lohan and Glory Braddock standing by two fans. One stands up as Glory Braddock pulls out, from her back jeans pocket, a wad of cash. She then turns and points to the fan and the one next to them.

 

Braddock: “You two together?”

 

Fan: “Yeah.”

 

Braddock: “This is yours if you give us your seats for this next match. Go hang out at merch, do whatever. But…can we?”

 

The fans looks at one another.

 

Fan: “Hell yeah.”

 

The fan takes the wad of cash. They step out, both taking their coats with them to be sure. They head off, one holding his fist up as the crowd cheers for them. Braddock and Lohan then step in front of the seats. The crowd cheers as Braddock high fives a few fans. Lohan ignores them. They take their seat as security stands nearby.

 

Sharper: “And there you see Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan, Twisted & Sadistic, coming to ringside and-“

 

Knots: “Just temporarily bought those seats!”

 

Sharper: “Guess they’re thinking they want a front row seat and don’t want to be seen as part of the match!”

 

Knots: “And two fans just made bank! Come over here. I’ll give you my seat! Call the match with this anchor!”

 

Dark Fantasy vs. The Light in the Darkness

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall with a sixty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Tag Team Championship!”

 

The SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen. The camera cuts to the crowd where we see a group of red-shirted security walking in through one of the ground-level entrances. They line up in front of the fans for a moment and seem to be holding them back. There’s then a loud click as the lights around the building flick off and darkness consumes the arena, with nothing but a few flashes from cameras in the crowd lighting the arena. Without warning we see black and white footage spring to life on the screen of Winston Churchill giving one of his most famous speeches, all the while the chilling sound of air raid sirens and war can be heard in the background...
 
"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender!"
 
The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...
 
"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this new world order..."
 
A record scratch interrupts the normal Infamous introduction, only for the sound of Cute Is What We Aim For’s hit to begin around the arena.
 
“I’ve got the gift of one-liners,
And you’ve got the curse of curves”
 
The opening to “Misery Business” by Paramore suddenly hits the PA system as the spotlights on the stage flash between pink and white. We cut to the back where we see Ravyn Taylor walking through the corridors before heading over to the curtain on the floor to the right of the stage. She walks out and looks around the arena as we see Syren step out from the back, Lexy Chapel with her. Chapel keeps a hand out, stopping Syren from even moving towards Ravyn while also keeping an eye on Ravyn.
 
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
 

Phillips: “Their opponents, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, they are Syren and Ravyn Taylor. They are the team of Lexy Chapel presents Dark Fantasy!”

 

Syren then starts to head to the ring as Lexy turns and heads after her. Ravyn walks over to the rampway and steps onto it, ending up standing next to Syren. Syren focuses on the ring as Ravyn smirks. Lexy steps past Ravyn pointing at Ravyn’s eyes and then at her own, before following Syren. Syren reaches the ring and climbs up the steps and into the ring. Ravyn then follows as Lexy Chapel walks along the floor. Both women remove their ring jackets and toss them to the corner. Syren climbs up on to the ropes, with one foot on the bottom and one on the middle ropes. Ravyn stands alongside her. Ravyn then goes to finish the old Dark Fantasy entrance, locking her hand with Syren. Lexy Chapel goes to the floor. She looks at Lohan and Braddock.

 

Sharper: “And Dark Fantasy, the challengers. They get this spot. Twisted & Sadistic face the winners for the title on Breakdown.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, still weird that after how we got here…this was just Ravyn forcing Dark Fantasy back and now Lexy Chapel is presenting them. They have a rematch.”

 

Sharper: “And we could see a hell of a match here. They had a classic with Light in the Darkness at Under Attack. Tonight, round two.”

 

All of a sudden, the lights go out, prompting a surprised pop from the fans. “In the Name of Love” by Arion feat. Cyan Kicks begins to play, the LED screens flickering to life to show a large wisteria tree in front of a starry night sky with a beautiful moon, the stars seeming like they’re slowly shifting and dancing around as petals from the tree fall and gracefully glide through the sky. One spotlight comes to life on the left side of the stage from the camera’s perspective, revealing Amelia Blythe standing underneath it, eyes focused on the ring and a small smile on her lips as her hands are folded in front of her, giving her the look of a proper young lady. A second spotlight comes to life on the right side of the stage, revealing La Pequeña Luz standing underneath it with the kind of grin that could light up a room all on its own as she motions with her hands for the fans to get pumped up, which they immediately proceed to do. Both wear their title belts. The two slowly turn their attention to one another and begin closing the distance, their spotlights following them as they stop within arm’s reach of one another, where Amelia extends her hand and Luz takes it before they pull their bodies close, the spotlights merging into one piercing through the darkness.

 

Phillips: “And their opponents, they are the team of Amelia Blythe, and the SCW Television Champion, La Pequena Luz, they are the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Light in the Darkness!”

 

When the song goes into the chorus, the two ladies begin to literally waltz their way down to the ring, fast and fluid to keep pace with the song as the spotlight follows their every move, leaving fans mesmerized by their synergy. As the chorus reaches its end and the two find themselves at the bottom of the ramp, they push away from one another as far as their arms will allow without letting go before quickly pointing to the LED screens with their free hands, where the night scene is immediately engulfed in white before transitioning to a video package of the two ladies in action, both together and individually. Slowly, the two release one another, the single spotlight splitting in two again as Amelia makes her way up the steps to walk across the apron on one side, wiping her feet. She looks in the ring as Luz watches too. Enigma remains in the ring and the Tag Champions stop for a moment before Amelia before step through the ropes. Luz, meanwhile, hops up onto the apron right in front of her and grabs the top rope before vaulting herself into a somersault into the ring, landing on her feet. They stop their usual entrance as Diamond looks around. The champions hand the World Tag Team Championship belts to the official. He raises them over his head and hands them off.

 

Sharper: “And here we go. Light in the Darkness here. Titles on the line.”

 

Knots: “Light in the Darkness hoping to do a virtual impossibility, beat Dark Fantasy in back to back title matches!”

 

Sharper: “Dark Fantasy is arguably the greatest tag team in SCW history. Looking to add to that legacy tonight.”

 

Luz and Amelia talk before Amelia steps forward. Ravyn and Syren do the same before Ravyn steps up. The bell sounds. Amelia and Ravyn circle briefly before locking up in the middle of the ring. They push back on one another. Amelia turns into a side headlock. She pulls back as Ravyn reaches around. Amelia then turns and drops down and hits a fireman’s carry. Ravyn turns as Amelia holds onto the arm and then wrenches it. Ravyn winces and flips forward and then bridges up before twisting under and hitting a fireman’s carry of her own and moving into a reverse chinlock. Amelia slides her head out and goes for a side headlock. Ravyn slides out and Amelia turns and Ravyn hits a headlock takedown.

 

1!

 

Amelia rolls her shoulder up. Ravyn holds on and they both get up. Amelia then pulls Ravyn into the ropes and then goes to shove her off. Ravyn plants her feet, taking Amelia over, but Amelia lands on her feet and pulls Ravyn down to mat. She rolls through. Both get up and Amelia ducks under the arm of Ravyn and behind her before stepping forward and taking her over with a snapmares into a reverse chinlock.

 

Sharper: “And Blythe able to go hold for hold with Ravyn Taylor early on.”

 

Knots: “Not many can do that.”

 

Ravyn reaches out and reaches around and rolls over to her knees. Amelia holds on and Ravyn grabs at the hands of Amelia and jerks her hands up. Ravyn drops down and turns and pushes Amelia back. Amelia falls back into the ropes. Ravyn then kicks her in the ribs and then steps up and hits a hip toss. Ravyn goes to grab her, but Amelia shoves her back with her feet. Both get up and Amelia hits a single leg takedown and goes for a pin.

Amelia kicks out. Both women get up and both have the same idea, hitting each other with a forearm shot. Ravyn and Amelia stumble back into their corners. They both tag out. Luz slingshots in as Syren enters.

 

Sharper: “And just like that, reset! Syren and Luz in!”

 

Knots: “Both thought the same and their partners did too!”

 

Luz runs across as Syren does too. Luz jumps up and goes high, but Syren ducks and stops. Both turn around and Luz runs at Syren and Syren hits a leg trip. She goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

Luz kicks out. Both get up and Luz hits an overhead chop. Syren grimaces as the crowd woos. Luz then forearms her in the jaw and then sends her into the ropes. Syren bounces off and Luz goes for a clothesline. Syren ducks and bounces off the other side and then slides under the arm of Luz. Syren then jumps up and hits a dropkick as Luz turns around. Syren gets up and goes to grab Luz. Luz rolls to the ropes. Syren continues to follow before grabbing her, but Luz hits a kick to the head. Syren stumbles back and Luz hops up and runs at Syren, jumping up and hitting a spinning hip toss. Syren gets up and Luz hits a dropkick. Syren falls back into the corner. Luz then heads over and jumps up to the middle turnbuckle and nails her with a hard shot and then another and another before Syren shoves her back. Luz rolls through. She gets up and pops up, but Syren runs out and hits a running flying forearm shot. Luz hits the mat. Syren rolls through and stops at her feet. Luz gets up and Syren grabs her and hooks her up and hits a snap suplex. She floats over.

Selena Frost vs. Asher Hayes

SCW World Championship

 

BELIEVE IT... OR NOT!

"Thank You for Hating Me!" by Citizen Soldier plays throughout the arena, the SCW Universe deafening the song with their boos. The lights shift to dark purple and blue, filling the arena as snow is seen “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back, walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe with a smirk.

Slowly, Selena shifts her head, her sapphire eyes locked towards the ring as she turns to her side and lifts her front hand gracefully, extending it towards the ring, palm upward. With a lift of her front foot, she suddenly slams it down into the ground, causing a crack like ice to form and sprint down the ramp and towards the ring!

Lowering her arm, the Blue-Eyed Devil walks down the ramp, her steps leaving footprints in the “snow” under her feet. Reaching the ring, Selena goes up the steps and under the ropes to enter it. Once inside and in the center of the ring, she stands still, confident and powerful, as the lights form to make a massive blue and black snowflake under her and the purple and blue lights. Raising her hand back up, towards the audience, once again palm upright, a wicked smirk graces her lips. With a slam of her foot, Selena causes the snowflake at her feet to “crack” as the rampway did, the shards of ice streaking out to all four corners of the ring to shoot out purple streaks of light from the turnbuckle the lights return to normal. The crowd boos loudly.

 

Sharper: “New music, but…”

 

Knots: “She’s still Selena Frost. Still the Snow Queen. Still everything.”

 

Sharper: “And she’s either going to win here tonight and regain her crown, or there may be a lot of people enjoying some schadenfreude.”

 

Knots: “After coming back, after months away, getting that rematch. A lot of people want to see her fail.”

 

The opening riff to "Smooth Sailing" by Queens of the Stone Age kicks in. At the 11 second mark, the name "Asher Hayes" blares through the PA system, and Asher appears on the stage, wearing a long leather jacket and sunglasses. The SCW World Championship is around his waist.
 
“It's all in motion, no stoppin' it now
I got nothing to lose and only one way up
I'm burning bridges, I destroy the mirage
All visions of collisions, fucking bon voyage"

He makes his way down the ramp as the reaction of the crowd rain down upon him. He walks up the ring steps and climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifting both fists into the air, slinging the jacket off his shoulders, simply looking at the crowd before dropping down and running to the opposite side.
 
“I got bruises and hickies, stitches and scars
Got my own theme music, plays wherever I are
Fear is the hand that pulls your strings
A useless toy, pitiful plaything
I'm in flagrante
In every way
Every day"
 
He stands, once again, on the top rope. He removes his shades as he looks toward the ceiling, before dropping down, removing his jacket and handing his belongings to the ref.

"It's all smooth sailing
From here on out
I'm gon' do the damage
That needs getting done"

Asher then leans into the corner, waiting for the match to begin. He keeps hold of the SCW World Championship. Selena looks at him.

 

Sharper: “And in this odd moment, Asher Hayes greeting as a hero.”

 

Knots: “Anti-Hero?”

 

Sharper: “No…they just want to see him beat Selena. I guarantee they want to see either one of these two walk out World Champion only to meet Kandis and get their ass kicked at Retribution.”

 

Knots: “Kandis wants that too!”

 

The bell sounds.

 

Phillips: “Fans…the following contest is your main event, scheduled for onefall with a sixty minute time limit and is for the SCW World Championship!”

Phillips: “From Nome, Alaska, by way of New York City, New York, she is the Snow Queen, Selena Frost!”

 

The crowd boos as Selena just smirks and looks across at Asher Hayes.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent…”

 

The crowd cheers as Asher Hayes extends his arms smiling.

 

Phillips: “From Chicago, Illinois, he is the SCW World Champion…Asher Hayes!”

 

The crowd cheers as Hayes takes off the title belt and steps up, holding it over his head. Hayes then steps back and flips off Selena who just keeps smirking at him. Hayes then hands the title to Demitra. Demitra takes it and Hayes runs at Selena and immediately drills her with a hard right. The crowd roars. Demitra hands off the title as the bell sounds.
