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

MAIN SHOW:

We see a shot of Syren sitting down on a bench in one of the dressing rooms in an arena. She throws the SCW World Championship down in front of her.

Syren: “You’d think after so many years, I’d get tired of these things…”

“Ceremony” by Holy Wars plays as the Retribution logo comes up on the screen.

“Supreme Championship Wrestling presents…Retribution 2026!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments before we cut to the inside of Wembley Stadium in London, England. The crowd roars as pyro shoots out from the entrance set and high into the air. The pyro display continues for a few moments longer before spotlights start to shine on the stadium and the crowd cheers as cameras pan across the screen. We then cut to show the Thunderdome structure hanging over the ring.

Sharper: “From Across the Pond, we come to you live from London, England, for Retribution!”

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd before we end up at ringside to see Adam Sharper, Jonathan Knots, and Devon Kayl at the announce position.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Welcome to ringside. Adam Sharper here with Devon Kayl and Jonathan Knots. And Retribution is here. Capped off by a huge World Championship match.”

Kayl: “Syren is going to defend the World Title against Gavin Taylor. Can Syren manage to survive the chaos that Gavin has brought with him?”

Knots: “And we’re going to see Cid Turner ride off into the sunset. Just is it going to be on his back or not? Asher Hayes is hoping so.”

Sharper: “Add a huge Thunderdome match between Meghan Strader and La Pequena Luz for the US Title. The Tag Titles on the line too. Several contendership matches. Huge night here in London!”

David Striker vs. Kimberly Williams vs. Chris Lawler vs. Oskar Theron

Number One Contendership to the SCW Underground Championship

The opening chords of AFI's "I hope you suffer" starts to play as the video wall blazes to life with the violent and epic SCW history of David Striker, all of his epic highlights thus far in the company from his wars with Kimberly Williams to his fall from the top of the scaffold at RTG and then his insane return on Breakdown is shown as the man himself slowly walks out onto the entrance way.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall to determine the number one contender for the SCW Underground Championship. First, on his way to the ring, from Cameron, North Carolina, the Dark Horse, David Striker!”

I got two letters from you

Last words of the runaway

Your love was written so true

And now I can't speak your name

I faced destruction and you

Just killed me and walked away

I gave my heart to the cruel

Now it will not beat again

As the song enters its first chorus David Striker heads down to the ring. David Striker continues to head to the ring, stoically focusing on the task ahead of him. Once he gets there, he wipes his feet off on the ring apron and slips into the ring.

No one will ever know you

Deny the last one who cares

Intoxicate with the new

Pretend I'm no longer there

I opened my heart to you

You lied just to reach inside

Now with the faith you removed

Our hope for forgiveness dies

David thumps his chest twice before raising it to the sky before quickly throwing his ring coat off. He then walks around the ring, awaiting his opponent.

Phillips: From Boston, Massachusetts…”The Woman Scorned” Kimberly Williams!

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. A sinister smirk is on her face as she ponders what she is about to do tonight. She winks at the fans before pointing towards the ring and making a beeline towards it. She slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Kimberly then poses in the center of the ring to another loud reaction from the fans. The music slowly dies down and Kimberly goes to a corner to await the start of the match.

Phillips: And introducing next, Chris Lawler!

The dimmed lights cast an atmosphere of anticipation as the arena falls into darkness, the only illumination coming from the pulsating strobe lights. The crowd's murmurs fade into a hush as the opening chords of "Warrior" by Imagine Dragons reverberate through the speakers, electrifying the air with anticipation.

From the depths of the darkness, a figure emerges, his silhouette outlined against the backdrop of flashing lights. With each step, the floor trembles beneath his feet, echoing the determination that propels him forward. It's Chris Lawler, a titan among men, his presence commanding attention as he strides purposefully down the entrance ramp.

His eyes, a piercing shade of blue, remain fixed on the ring ahead, unwavering in their focus as if they could pierce through the very fabric of reality. Ignoring the cacophony of cheers and jeers that surround him, Lawler remains resolute in his mission, his gaze locked on the squared circle where his destiny awaits.

As Lawler reaches the foot of the ring, the strobe lights reach a crescendo, bathing him in a pulsating glow of light and shadow. With a subtle nod to the crowd, Lawler ascends the steel steps, each footfall a testament to his unwavering determination.

Finally, he steps between the ropes, his presence filling the ring with an aura of intensity and purpose. Standing tall in the center of the ring, Lawler raises his gaze to the heavens, a silent vow etched upon his features. Tonight, he will leave everything in the ring, his spirit unbroken, his resolve unyielding, as he prepares to face whatever challenges come his way.

Ride The Lightning by Metallica plays over the sound system as Oskar walks through the curtain, holding up his Norwegian flag, wearing Norway flame lightning bolt flag trousers with The European Fiery Nation logo attached to his trousers, wearing MMA gloves and wrestling boots with Ginny Raab behind him. He gets many boos as he walks to the ring, ignoring the fans. He stands on the ramp, using the lightning bolt signals.

Phillips: “From Oslo, Norway, accompanied by Ginny Raab, he is Oskar Theron!”

He walks to the ring before sliding under the ropes before holding them open for Ginny to get in, and he goes on the turnbuckle to do his lightning bolt sign, with Ginny applauding Oskar before he puts himself in a corner. He holds the ropes open again for Ginny to leave the ring before turning to the opposite end of the corner of looking at his opponent, waiting for the match to begin.

The bell rings. But before any action can commence Kimberly gets the attention of her three opponents.

Kimberly Williams: You gotta ask yourselves one question…DO I FEEL LUCKY?

She whips out a massive water pistol.

Kimberly Williams: Well do ya? Punks?!

And with that she begins spraying them in the face with the liquid contained instead, which isn’t water, it is ghost pepper hot sauce. Then she drops the water pistol. She picks up the lead weight Wasley and blasts Striker and Lawler in the gut, doubling both over. She takes a mighty swing at Oskar but he ducks. Kim then drills Theron with a superkick, and another, and then a third sends Oskar over the top and to the outside. Kimberly hits the ropes and launches herself over the top and onto Oskar with a suicide dive.

Sharper: “And Kimberly Williams bringing back some of her classics-“

Knots: “Classics? She’s trying to maim them!”

Kayl: “And right now, Kim happy to be back in chaos!”

Williams mounts Oskar and rains down right hands. Meanwhile inside the ring Striker and Lawler have managed to get back to their feet. Striker with stiff palm thrusts, a roundhouse kick, and a yakuza kick puts Lawler down. Striker with an exploder suplex to Lawler. The crafty veteran Lawler rolls to the outside but Striker gives him no reprieve. He goes out after Lawler. David takes off the thin protective mat revealing the hard concrete. He pulls Lawler up and sets up for a snap suplex but Lawler blocks it. Lawler with a ddt to Striker on the concrete. Lawler whips David into the steel steps, dislodging them.

Sharper: “Lawler sends David Striker hard into the steps.”

Kayl: “Just keep looking around. Kim and Oscar going at it. Striker and Lawler fighting. No love lost there!”

Lawler reaches underneath the ring and produces a Singapore cane. He uses it repeatedly against Striker’s back. Meanwhile Kim is on the ring apron waiting for Oskar to get to his feet. She runs and leaps off, attempting a hurricinrana but he catches her in mid-air with a sit out power bomb on the outside. Oskar goes over to where Lawler is blasting Striker with the cane. Lawler takes aim at Oskar but Oskar catches the cane, kicks Lawler in the gut, and then proceeds to blast Lawler in the head repeatedly with the Singapore cane. Oskar with a snap suplex on Lawler onto the dislodged steel steps. Before Oskar can do any more damage he is speared by Striker through the barricade, destroying it as a result!

Sharper: “Good lord! Through the barricade! Striker just sent Theron through!”

Knots: “I see we didn’t bring the good barricade here. Striker just drilled him!”

Meanwhile Kimberly Williams produces a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire from underneath the ring. She holds it up proudly and menacingly, drawing cheers from the fans.

Kimberly Williams: Say hello to my little friend!

Williams stalks Lawler who has just now pulled himself back to his feet. Kim with a shot to the back from the barbed wire chair followed by a shot directly to the face from the barbed wire chair. Kim takes the barbed wire chair and goes onto the ring apron. With a running start she leaps off and drops herself and the chair onto Lawler. Kim with a cover…

1…

2…Kickout!

Kimberly drops the chair in a prime position with evil intentions for Lawler. But before she can do anything Striker rakes her eyes and then drops her with Monster Mash onto the barbed wire chair.

Sharper: “Into the barbed wire! Striker dropping Kim!”

Kayl: “They had wars in the past! A revisiting of them here.”

Knots: “It’s a travesty. How the hell are people liking this?!”

Striker rolls Kimberly back into the ring. Striker then produces a table and slides it into the ring. Meanwhile Oskar Theron pulls himself out of the rubble of the barricade. He targets Lawler who has just pulled himself back up. Oskar whips Lawler face first into the steel ringpost, busting him open even further. Oskar smashes Lawler face first onto the Spanish Announce Table several times. Oskar then rolls Lawler onto the announce table. Oskar produces a ladder and sets it up. He climbs up to the top of the ladder. SHOOTING STAR PRESS off the top of the ladder through Lawler through the Spanish Announce table!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

With both competitors laid out and neither able to make a cover, Striker is free to go on the offensive against Kimberly to try and win it all. He has the table set up propped up in the corner. Striker spears Kimberly through the table. He drags her out to the center of the ring. Striker with The Deadly Rave! The cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Kim with a shoulder up!

Striker goes outside and finds the barbed wire chair and brings it into the ring. He sets it up in the center. He pulls Kim back up and delivers a hennig-plex onto the barbed wire chair for another cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Kim with a shoulder up!

Striker pulls Kim up and sets her up for a hammerlock ddt. But Kim picks his legs and drops him on the mat. She steps through and turns him over into Scorned, her sharpshooter variant.

Sharper: “And Kim! Wrestling holds! The Scorned!”

Kayl: “See! She can wrestle, Knots.”

Knots: “All the more reason she should. Come on. That’s a real skill. Not just bludgeoning your opponent!”

Oskar finally pulls himself from the rubble of the Spanish Announce table and notices Kim with the sharpshooter applied to Striker. Oskar rushes in but instead of breaking the hold he locks a crossface in to Striker, creating a double-submission.

Sharper: “And now, Oskar Theron in. Theron and Williams! They’ve both got Striker!”

Kayl: “This went from bad to worse!”

Sharper: “But they can’t both get the tap out. There referee can’t really do anything. This is just torture for Striker!”

David Striker is in serious agony but won’t give in to the double submission. Chris Lawler finally pulls himself up and sees the danger Striker is in of submitting. Lawler brings another steel chair in and first uses it on Oskar and then blasts Kimberly in the back of the head. He whips Kim into the ropes and delivers Blitz Kick! He falls into the cover…

1…

2…

3…NO! Kim gets a shoulder up!

Lawler targets Oskar next. He hoists Oskar up and drops him with Fury Suplex onto the barbed wire chair. The cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Oskar gets a shoulder up!

Lastly Lawler turns his attention to Striker. He takes the ankle and applies Lockdown Hold.

Sharper: “Lockdown Hold! Lawler trying to now damage the ankle of Striker!”

Knots: “Striker’s just going to have no limbs left after this!”

David Striker is again in agony but refuses to quit. Oskar out of nowhere with a backflip kick that breaks it up. Kimberly with a superkick that sends Lawler tumbling to the outside. Kim then launches herself over the top with a suicide dive taking out Lawler. Oskar meanwhile turns his attention to David Striker. Lightning Bolt Shocker! Oskar covers…

1…

2…

…3NO! Striker gets a shoulder up!

Oskar pulls David back to his feet and hooks him for a German suplex but David with a standing switch and then drops Oskar with a German suplex of his own onto a steel chair. Meanwhile Kimbery slingshots Lawler face first into the steel ring post. She reaches underneath the ring and produces a table wrapped in barbed wire. She sets it up on the outside. She takes Lawler and places him the ring apron. She tries to suplex him onto the barbed wire table but he blocks it. David Striker sees the two struggling. He hits the ropes and knocks both of them backward, sending them crashing into the barbed wire table.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

While Striker admires his work, Oskar rolls him up from behind…

1…

2…

…3NO! Striker gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “And Oskar nearly stole it!”

Kayl: “Good to admire destruction, but not when there’s another guy in there!”

Oskar takes Striker and goes for a brain buster but David counters with Star Platinum out of nowhere! Instead of going for the cover David Striker rolls to the outside. He reaches underneath the ring and produces a bag. He gets back in the ring with the bag and pours it contents…broken glass and thumbtacks…all over the ring mat. He takes Oskar and drops him with Equivalent Exchange onto the broken glass and thumbtacks!

Sharper: “And into the tacks! The tacks! The glass!”

Knots: “What the hell are we doing here?!”

Before Striker can go for a cover Lawler leaps back into the ring and delivers a step up enziguri that drops Striker. Lawler hoists Striker up…IMPACT DRIVER onto the broken glass and thumbtacks! But like Striker earlier, Lawler cannot capitalize as Kimberly is back in the ring, wielding Wasley. She takes aim and blasts Lawler in the head with Wasley. Kimberly takes aim as Lawler tries to sit up…SHADOWBLADE…he dodges…Kim nails Oskar instead sending both to the floor!

Sharper: “Kim got Oskar! Lawler dodged! Shadowblade!”

Kayl: “Oskar however rolled through! And Kim is in trouble!”

Oskar takes Kim and power bombs her into what remains of the Spanish Announce Table. Striker from behind with a steel chair to Oskar Theron. He then takes the chair and wraps it around Oskar’s throat. He takes a second chair and smashes it into the other chair! Meanwhile, Simon Lymon charges the ring. He slides in and takes down Lawler with several quick lariats. Simon mounts Lawler and rains down right hands.

Sharper: “And Lyman! Where the hell did he come from?!”

Knots: “Looks like he had an issue with Lawler from Breakdown and now they’re going at it!”

Just as quickly as he entered the match, Simon makes his exit. This leaves Lawler down. Striker re-enters the ring. Equivalent Exchange onto Lawler onto the glass and tacks! Striker with the cover…

1…

2…

…3!

Phillips: Here is your winner…DAVID STRIKER!

Striker rolls off and winces a bit as he has his arm raised.

Sharper: “And Striker survives, in part with the help of Lyman! But all legal in this chaos!”

Knots: “Chaos is right!”

Sharper: “And Striker now has a date with the Underground Champion, Asher Hayes at a later date!”

Striker winces and walks around as the crowd cheers him. Kim stirs in the Spanish table as Oskar and Lawler stir. Striker celebrates a bit more as the scene cuts away.

Backstage, we see Jessica Winters in the SCW interview area.

Winters: “Welcome backstage here at Wembley. I’m Jessica Winters, and allow me to welcome at this time, Ryan LeCavalier.”

The crowd roars as Ryan LeCavalier comes into view. She looks around and Winters turns to her.

Winters: “Thank you for joining me here tonight, Ryan. Ryan, we’re trying to figure out what possessed you to attack Dexter Grant. Some are just saying this is a way for you to try and get back and noticed, but you’ve never been like that. You’ve always had your reason from attacking Glory Braddock, to joining the Fall of Man and now…this…”

LeCavalier: “If they don’t find reason, then they just are showing how limited they are of their intellect. The fact is that when you have a blowhard like Dexter, you may think it’s just that, but sometimes he needs to learn that some names should be kept out of his mouths and others he should always remember. I heard his diatribe and frankly, there are some people that he should respect. As they don’t demand plaudits on social media, they don’t look for the vibes, they just act and try to do what they can, for themselves in the moment.”

Winters: “Who are you talking about?”

LeCavalier: “A guardian angel of sorts. Right Selena? Fatal Fortunes, we tore the house down. But you managed to defeat me. And last Fatal Fortunes, you came out and got involved in my business. Maybe our fates are intertwined. Maybe there is more I wish to find out from you. People thought we may clash again and it never happened. But it was never out of animus. It was out of respect. Something you do crave and deserve. And something Dexter doesn’t understand. And tonight, he’ll understand that there are consequences to running one’s mouth.”

LeCavalier turns and walks off. Winters watches her leave and turns to the camera.

Winters: “There’s an answer. What do you all think, SCW? Back to ringside.”

The scene cuts away.

The Vision vs. Hollywood

Phillips: The following is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Clyde Sutter, they are “The Third Generation Goddess” Melinda Braddock and “The Boston Badass” Fiona Logan, THE VISION!

The arena lights drop into an ominous crimson haze as the haunting intro of “Nothing Feels Right” by Ozzy Osbourne crawls through the sound system, thick with unease and anticipation. The crowd instantly responds with a wave of boos, and just as the first distorted riff growls to life, a spotlight ignites at the top of the ramp, illuminating The Vision: Melinda Braddock and Fiona Logan. Standing side by side, they strike an intimidating contrast. Melinda is a vision of smug superiority, her expression cool and contemptuous as she slowly steps forward, chin high and lips curled in a slight, self-satisfied smile. Draped in a gleaming black-and-gold jacket with high-fashion detailing, she moves like she’s walking a runway, not a wrestling ramp; each step deliberate, arrogant, like the crowd should be grateful to witness her existence. Beside her, Fiona Logan bursts into movement like a firecracker, all swagger and attitude. She twirls once with flair, throws her arms wide, and mouths off at the nearest fans with wild eyes and a devilish grin. Her ring gear shimmers under the strobe lights as she throws fake kisses to the crowd one second and flips them off the next. She leans over the barricade at one point, taunting a fan’s sign, pointing and laughing, then skips back toward her partner with a cocky shoulder bump. Trailing just a few steps behind them is Clyde Sutter, a looming figure in black with long, dark hair cascading over his shoulders. His expression is emotionless, unreadable, a stark contrast to the explosive energy in front of him. His eyes scan the ring like a hawk, and while he never says a word, his presence alone demands silence. He’s the dark anchor to the chaos and vanity that is The Vision.

As the trio reaches the ring, Melinda glides up the steel steps slowly, wiping her boots with theatrical disdain before stepping through the ropes like she’s entering a palace. She pauses in the center of the ring, holding her arms out as if waiting for imaginary flowers to be thrown at her feet. Fiona leaps onto the apron, then climbs through the ropes with an over-the-top spin, landing on one knee and pointing to herself with a defiant smirk as the music’s chorus hits. She yells at the crowd, mocking them ruthlessly, and then she pounds her chest before popping back up to her feet. Clyde takes his place outside, arms folded, unmoved. As the music fades and the lights return to normal, Melinda raises one perfectly manicured hand while Fiona perches on the second rope, taunting the audience one last time.

Phillips: And their opponents, Chris and Ryan…HOLLYWOOD!

A rush of paparazzi rush down either side of the ramp as a red carpet is rolled out. The sounds of Michael Jackson’s “Hollywood Tonight” begins to play as Chris and Ryan Hollywood come out from the back, prompting a shamelessly stolen trope of flashes from the cameras as they stand atop the ramp. They respond to pose instructions from the photographers as they move towards the ring. Once in the ring, they pose in the middle of the ring, back to back, as their music fades.

Sharper: “Hollywood has been spending a lot of time highlighting how they hold a win over the Tag Champions. But the Vision looking to snatch in a claim.”

Kayl: “Win or win or win. That’s what you do. The Vision want another crack at the champions. With Hollywood all hyped up like this, they put a target on this back.”

Chris and Fiona start the match for their respective teams. Chris with a quick clothesline, a quick dropkick, a spin kick. A hip toss and an arm drag by Chris. He whips Fiona into the ropes. Melinda makes a blind tag. Chris with a flapjack to Fiona. But Melinda hits the ring and drops Chris Hollywood with a spinning back fist and then a running knee strike. Melinda with a shining wizard. Melinda tags back out to Fiona. Melinda and Fiona both hit the ropes. Chop block by Melinda with Fiona simultaneously hitting a running knee for Vision’s Run. Fiona covers…

1…Kickout!

Fiona pulls Chris Hollywood back up. She pulls Chris back to his feet and whips him into the ropes. This time its Ryan Hollywood making the blind tag. Fiona drops Chris with a spine buster…but she turns around into a huge big boot from Ryan.

Sharper: “And Ryan Hollywood, a big boot. Down goes Fiona.”

Knots: “They may be goofs, but they can go if they’re focused. That brief moment.”

Ryan Hollywood with a vertical suplex and a bodyslam. He whips Fiona into the ropes and delivers a high back body drop. He goes for another slam but Fiona slips out of it, wraps her arms around his waist, and snaps off a German suplex. Fiona rolls through, hanging on to the grip, hits a second German suplex. She rolls through, hanging onto the grip, but Ryan with a standing switch and delivers a release German suplex of his own. He whips Fiona into the Hollywood corner. Ryan with a big splash into the corner where he tags out to Chris. Chris with a snap suplex followed by a standing moonsault for a cover…

1…

…2Kickout!

Chris pulls Fiona up and whips her into the ropes. He lowers his head too early and she kicks him in the face. Fiona runs the ropes and delivers a huge spear, breaking him half. Fiona scrambles to her corner and tags out to Melinda.

Sharper: “And Fiona making the much needed tag! Here comes Melinda!”

Kayl: “And she can showcase what she can do here.”

Melinda with a spinning heel kick and then a superkick that floors Chris Hollywood. She goes up to the top and leaps off with a 450 splash, Blaze of Glory! Melinda covers…

1…

2…Kickout!

Melinda instantly an Indian Deathlock. Ryan Hollywood in to break up the submission hold. This draws Fiona Logan back into the ring and she starts trading right hands with Ryan. The brawl between Ryan and Fiona spills out to the outside. Meanwhile Melinda climbs to the top. She walks the ropes with Graceful Beauty…she leaps off for a dropkick but Chris sidesteps just in time and she hits nothing. She scrambles back to her feet but is met by a superkick from Chris Hollywood. Chris measures Melinda as she pulls herself back to her feet. He rushes in and attempts a clothesline but Melinda counters into Hashtag, the crippler crossface.

Sharper: “Hashtag! Counter from the clothesline!”

Kayl: “Melinda, trained in the Braddock style. Showing her skill here!”

Knots: “Hollywood is going to have to show how tough he is if he can’t get out!”

Sharper: “He’s getting closer and closer to the ropes!”

Chris Hollywood struggles to get to the ropes. He is almost there. Fingertips away. But then Ryan is again into the ring to break it up. He whips Melinda into the ring and delivers a high back body drop and turns her inside out with a lariat. But then he turns around into a running big boot from Fiona then sends him tumbling through the ropes and to the outside. Fiona drags Melinda back to The Vision corner and tags herself in. Fiona whips Chris into The Vision corner and delivers a stinger splash. Fiona with a snap suplex out of the corner. Fiona goes for Spear Fishing on Chris but he kicks her in the face and follows that up with a ddt. Both competitors are down and they begin to crawl towards their respective corners and the referee begins his count.

Chris makes the tag to Ryan…

Fiona tags out to Melinda…

Ryan with several lariats in a row and then a big flapjack to Braddock. He whips her into the ropes and goes for another lariat but Melinda counters into a tilt-a-whirl ddt. Melinda kips up to her feet. She connects with Trending, the natural selection. The cover…

1…

2…

…3NO! Chris breaks up the pin!

Fiona rushes in and delivers another Spear Fishing to Chris Hollywood! Fiona wraps her arms around Ryan…Melinda with a superkick to Ryan into a German suplex from Fiona…Fiona rolls through…another superkick into another German suplex…Fiona rolls through…a third superkick into another German suplex and this time Fiona releases the grip. She sees Chris Hollywood negotiating his way back to his feet. Fiona launches herself over the top, wiping out Chris Hollywood with a plancha.

Sharper: “Over the top! Fiona Logan takes down Chris Hollywood!”

Kayl: “The Vision just cooking here!”

Melinda tags out to Fiona and then Melinda prepares herself on the apron. Fiona whips Ryan Hollywood into the ropes and delivers a spine buster. Melinda instantly follows that up with as springboard 450 splash completing Fateful Vision! Fiona into the cover…

1…

2…

…3!

The bell sounds.

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, Fiona Logan and Melinda Braddock, THE VISION!

Fiona rolls off as Melinda turns and holds her arm up. They get up and have their arms raised.

Sharper: “And the Vision with a statement. They want the champions next! The question is who those champions could be.”

Kayl: “At least Hollywood touched the title? Right?”

The Vision celebrates in the ring as Hollywood slowly recovers. The scene cuts away.

The scene opens up outside the front of Wembley Stadium. We see Lexy Chapel with a megaphone, along with Ravyn Taylor, who just looks on bemused. A group of people have gathered around.

Chapel: “We are here to stand against the conspiracy that exists to keep SCW at its greatest! We don’t need to be made Gavin again. We don’t even want to be Gavin. Why not Steve or Jim or Sven!”

Ravyn: “What about Igor?!”

Chapel turns and marches over.

Chapel: “Shhhh! The Russians are clearly involved! With all of this. They have to be. With the reverse vampires….I….”

Chapel turns, realizing she’s talking to Ravyn, not into the megaphone.

Chapel: “We will stand up against all who work to bring down Syren, bring down SCW, and prevent good honest people, like me, and…uh…me…from standing at her side and making sure that greatness prevails!”

The scene cuts away.

Sharper: “Looks like Lexy Chapel is here. Ravyn Taylor too.”

Knots: “This is private property! Get them out of here!”

Sharper: “They’ve been trying to keep an eye on Syren as they can. Maybe hoping to get under Gavin’s skin a bit.”

Scarlett Carsons vs. Colleen MacDonald

SCW Television Championship

Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW Television Championship! Introducing first, the challenger…. SCARLETT CARSONS!!!”

The arena goes dark without warning.

Not a fade.

A hard kill—sound, light, breath—all of it ripped out at once.

For a heartbeat, there is nothing.

Then—

A low church bell tolls through the darkness.

Clang.

A single white spotlight snaps on at the top of the ramp, cutting through thick blue fog that pours outward like breath in winter. The opening whisper of SANCTIFY ME crawls in beneath it—soft, intimate, wrong—Maria Brink’s voice sounding less like a singer and more like a confession caught on tape.

The tron doesn’t play video.

It plays stained glass.

Cracked, fractured imagery of saints and sinners bleeding into one another. Faces half-formed. Halos broken. Wings burned black at the edges. The glass pulses faintly in time with the song’s heartbeat.

As the first heavy note hits—

The fog explodes.

Scarlett Carsons steps forward through it, already in motion, already claimed by the light.

She doesn’t pose.

She doesn’t acknowledge the crowd.

Her head is bowed—not in humility, but in judgment.

A long black coat drapes from her shoulders like funeral cloth, the inside lined deep crimson. Bare hands. No theatrics. No wasted movement. Each step down the ramp is deliberate, measured, like she’s walking toward an altar she plans to burn down.

Blue strobes flash once—just enough to catch her eyes as she lifts her head.

They don’t scan the crowd.

They pass through it.

When the chorus hits—SANCTIFY ME—the lights snap blood-red, flooding the arena as if the room itself has been baptized in something unholy. The fog behind her swirls upward now, forming a silhouette that almost looks like wings before tearing itself apart.

Scarlett stops halfway down the ramp.

Slowly, she opens her coat.

No taunt.

No gesture.

Just revelation.

The coat falls to the steel with a dull, final thud, left behind like a discarded skin. She rolls her shoulders once, loosening them, eyes never leaving the ring.

The music drops back into that haunting refrain as she resumes her walk.

At ringside, she doesn’t slide in.

She climbs the steps.

Each step echoes.

She wipes her boots on the apron—not for respect, but ritual—then steps between the ropes and stands dead center, head tilted back as the final sanctify me drags out into distortion.

The lights snap back to black.

One last white spotlight finds her—

And then it dies.

When the arena lights return, Scarlett Carsons is already in her corner.

Waiting.

Like the sin you thought you buried.

Phillips: “And her opponent… she is the reigning SCW TV Champion… the one, the only… COLLEEN MACDONALD!!!!”

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot, followed by a few girls giggling. But before “C’est La Vie” by B*Witched can even begin, Colleen steps out onto the stage from the backstage area, wearing her normal all-black ring gear. Colleen does a cutthroat signal. The music turns off as she stands still and waits until the beginning of “How Far I’ll Go” by Auli’i Cravalho begins to play. Colleen nods once before beginning to slowly head down the entrance ramp. The crowd does keep their eyes on her as she looks straight down at the ring. She keeps going until she arrives down at the ring. Not quickening her pace, she steps up the steel ring steps and climbs over the top rope to get into the ring. Once inside she does look around the arena. She simply approves of her surroundings before she turns to the business at hand, warming up before the bell rings.

DING DING DING

Scarlett starts the match right at the bell with an attempted dive at an Ankle Pick that catches Colleen off guard. She manages to stay standing initially though and goes over onto her back with a Mounted-Hammerlock. Scarlett struggles with it initially but manages to get a leg under her and her free arm around MacDonald’s head. Colleen holds onto the move but can't stop her fighting to her feet and then sending her off with a Snapmare.

Sharper: “Quick start to the TV Championship!”

Knots: “And I like this Scarlett! She’s got something. I don’t know what.”

Kayl: “She’s a bit creepy.”

Knots: “Don’t be afraid. She may not bite!”

Colleen lands seated and Scarlett shoots for a Sleeperhold but Colleen locks up an arm and slips out before dropping her face first into the mat. She then tries to secure a hold on her arm but Scarlett rolls to her back and then kips up, only to drop back down immediately and send her off in an Armdrag. Colleen rolls to her knees and sweeps Scarlett for a pin as she comes running but she pushes her off before the ref can even hit the mat. Colleen then jumps up into a leg sweep herself with Scarlett making a pin attempt!

KICKOUT!

Scarlett is up first and allows her to catch Colleen with a knee and back her into the ropes. She then tries to whip her to the ropes but Colleen turns it around and launches an upward flipping kick that just barely misses the mark as Scarlett darts out of the way.

Sharper: “Quick thinking by Carsons!”

Knots: “Same with the champ, MacDonald!

Colleen floats over onto a knee and puts up her hands to catch a kick. She then stands up with her leg in hand and sweeps her, dropping Scarlett to the mat and leaving her open for a leaping stomp that hits the floor as Scarlett rolls behind her. She then catches onto a School Boy attempt for the pin.

2!!

Kickout!

Sharper: “Colleen pops out early.”

Colleen rolls over onto her knees and into a Guillotine from Scarlett that she manages to spin out before she can properly secure it. Colleen then comes away with a Wristlock but Scarlett is quickly to her feet and works her way through a roll through, bridge and twist back standing that allows her to alleviate the pressure. She then slaps her hand away and launches an Enzugiri, but Colleen decides to walk away, letting her catch nothing but the air before she plummets to the mat, veteran instinct kicking in. She goes down and gets a rather harsh kick through the top of her head for her troubles.

Knots: “You know the song Margaritaville?”

Sharper: “Yeah?”

Knots: “Welcome to CTE-Ville.”

Kayl: “Hardly a laughing matter!”

Scarlett turns over into the ropes for a chance to get her bearings but Colleen drags her back to her feet and puts her into the ropes with the aid of a Forearm shot. Colleen turns to whip her away but instead kicks out the back of her legs to sit her down and then follows with a stiff Roundhouse kick in the chest to flatten her out. Colleen then bounces into the ropes and comes back with a Senton, landing her full weight across her chest. She turns over into a cover.

2!!

Kickout!!!

Sharper: “Scarlett escapes at the count of two.”

Colleen then picks her up and flattens her again with a Snap Suplex that she floats over on top and holds down an arm for the cover.

2!!

Kickout.. well, more Michael Myers style.

Knots: “Scarlett sits up like a spookshow.”

Sharper: “Colleen doesn’t care. She’s laser focused on trying to win this.”

Colleen bends her arm around her back and begins to work the hold while Scarlett scrambles for the ropes. She doesn't get long as Scarlett soon finds purchase with a foot but it's enough to leave a lasting impression as Scarlett comes up, rotating her shoulder. Colleen instantly sets upon it with an Arm-Ringer that drops her face first to the canvas before she turns around and drops a knee into her shoulder blade. She then leans on it and torques her arm until Scarlett is able to fight out onto her back.

Sharper: “Carsons able to get out!”

Colleen then lifts her up again and sends Scarlett to the ropes, making sure to use her worked over shoulder for a little extra push. She then leads with a back elbow but Scarlett ducks under, grabs on and sends her to the ropes in her place before catching her with a huge Spinebuster on the return.

Knots: “The ring shook with that impact!!”

Scarlett jumps around to her side and leaps back into a Standing Moonsault, knocking the wind from her and dropping into the pin.

1!!

2!!!

Kickout!!!

Sharper: “And Colleen kicks out!”

Scarlett then jumps to her feet, leans back and launches herself into a standing 450; earning some love from the fans as she hooks the leg for another pin.

2!!

Shoulder up!

Sharper: “And Colleen pops out again!”

Scarlett lumbers Colleen up into the corner and thunders a knee into her gut. She then whips her to the opposite corner and follows but Colleen uses the ropes to push herself up and come over behind her. She then hooks both her arms, lifts and drops her with a Tiger Suplex. The referee jumps in to make the count but Colleen let’s go of an arm, swings herself around and cinches in a Crucifix Armbar to the delight of the fans.

Sharper: “Colleen with some technical prowess, and this could end it right here.”

Knots: “She’s the Champ for a reason!”

Colleen wrenches back deep with every intention of popping her shoulder, but Scarlett fights her all the way and even manages to get off her back. She then rolls her onto her shoulders while the referee jumps in to count the pin attempt.

2!!

Kickout!

Sharper: Colleen powers out!

Colleen cranks her arm until the very last second before slipping out, and as Scarlett backs away he can’t help cradling her arm. Colleen then shoots again but Scarlett ducks under, bends her knees and then leans into a backflip that catches Colleen turning and smashes her in the chest. She falls right over her for the pin.

2!!

Shoulder up!

Sharper: “Colleen still won’t stay down.”

Knots: “She’s got some fight in her, but she’ll wear that out soon enough.”

Scarlett then pulls Colleen back to her feet once again and lifts her up in a Vertical Suplex. Her arm looks to be bothering her but not enough to break her grip, and she’s holds her aloft for a few moments before dropping her back forward with a huge Gordbuster. Colleen crashes down face first and pops back to her knees from the impact. Meanwhile Scarlett turns her attention to the ropes.

Sharper: “Wonder what Carsons is up too…”.

Knots: “Curious myself.”

Even with the aid of only one arm Scarlett manages to fight her way to the top-rope, and poises herself as Colleen struggles off the mat. She then leaps into the air, set to crush her with the backsplash, but Colleen steps aside and lets her crash to the canvas.

Knots: “Crashing and burning! Crashing and burning!”

Scarlett bobs back to a knee and Colleen ties her up for a roll up.

She struggles…

2!!

KICKOUT!

Colleen and Carsons circle, arms outstretched, gradually getting closer and closer until they lock up in the center of the ring.

Sharper: “How do they have the energy?!”

Kayl: “Maybe they touched that Strader Energy box?”

Carsons bends Colleen's wrists backwards and then trips the taller woman up, negating her size advantage and wrenching a tight headlock. She looks out and smirks at the crowd. Colleen struggles to break the hold, but Carsons keeps leverage , slamming a couple of rights into her forehead and keeping the match pace slow. She drops to a knee and Colleen takes the opening, grabbing Carsons under the knee and lifting her squarely into the air. She sends Carsons down with a huge powerbomb and the champion rolls out of the ring to recover as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “You usually see a more varied moveset from Colleen MacDonald, but you usually see her fighting heavier opponents. Against Carsons, I can imagine she's going to go blow for blow with her and hope to deal out more punishment.”

Carsons rolls her neck around and climbs into the ring again. Colleen goes for a lariat, clearly hoping to take control of the match, but Carsons ducks the blow and roundhouses Colleen in the jaw and she turns and tries to recover. Carsons follows with a hard axe kick to the crown of the head that leaves Colleen wildly backpedaling.

Kayl: “Can I be the person that suggests that plan "trade blows with Scarlett Carsons" is a dumb plan?”

Knots: “You can be but I don’t know how well that will work out for you.”

Colleen backs into the corner and Carsons hammers away with a series of short kicks until the referee breaks them, the crowd's still very quiet for Carsons's offense. Once the ref lowers her hand, Carsons springs into the corner and launches off, flattening her with a DDT - the crowd cringes and Colleen goes straight into the air. Carsons slides in without missing a beat and clinches in a crossface submission. Colleen struggles in the hold and scratches the mat, silently nodding no when asked for a submission - if anything, Carsons takes this as motivation to pull the hold even tighter.

Sharper: “Scarlett is really pulling back now!”

After quite a while in this hold, Colleen slowly starts pounding the mat in a slow, steady rhythm, and the claps slowly build and echo through the crowd as Colleen starts to pull up on a limb. Carsons decides to break the hold instead of trying to force it back down and goes for a karate style front kick - Colleen catches it and pulls Carsons into a clinch. She draws way way back and pummels her with a series of high knees to the head that have plenty of emphasis behind them. Colleen comes off the ropes and lands a devastating spinning elbow to the head and with Carsons's hands down, she gets all of it. The crowd pops as she goes off the rope and lands a flying shoulder block, knocking Carsons off balance again - Colleen follows with a dropkick.

Sharper: “The Champ is taking back control!”

Carsons clutches her head as Colleen goes to the middle rope and grins. She dives at Carsons, but gets intercepted with a wicked European uppercut. Colleen throws a forearm, Carsons throws a forearm. Colleen goes for an elaborate looking spinning kick and Carsons ducks it, flooring her with a superkick and screaming at the downed woman.

Knots: “Sharp instinct!”

Carsons pulls Colleen up and kicks her hard in the chest, and Colleen winces before kicking her back. The two of them trade kicks, both throwing them harder and faster until they both hit a kick at the same time and fall to the canvas. By now the feverish noise that rang the match in is back.

Sharper: “For most competitors, when you say "pride is on the line", it doesn't mean much, but with these two... wow.”

They both get up at the same time and look at each other, fighting back and forth like it's a big game of rock paper scissors. Carsons commits first, going for an amateur style takedown - and Colleen catches her and pulls her into a Butterfly submission hold. Scarlett tries to fight out and pushes off and rolls through as Colleen tries to keep on. Scarlett keeps fighting before the crowd roars as we see Clyde Sutter running down from the back. Sutter makes the long run and rolls into the ring. He then runs over and grabs Colleen by the hair and drags her up, forcing her to let go and before throwing her into the corner. The bell sounds as the crowd boos as Sutter knees Colleen in the ribs over and over and over again. Scarlett rolls over as Sutter then turns and pulls Colleen out and hits a vicious clothesline. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “The hell! Sutter coming out here!”

Kayl: “They didn’t solve anything on Breakdown when they fought. And I guess Sutter wanted to get a shot in on his home turf!”

Sharper: “Scarlett Carsons does not look pleased!”

Carsons looks up, annoyed as Sutter turns back to her.

Sutter: “Sorry…fate says it’s not your time. I will handle her.”

Sutter turns and heads over to Colleen as Scarlett then runs over and grabs Sutter and spins him around. She just looks at Sutter, glaring at him as Sutter just smirks. Sutter shoves her back. Carsons gets back up before we then see Colleen get up and clubs Sutter in the back. Scarlett runs over and nails Sutter. The two women attack Sutter, nailing him over and over and over again before knocking him down with hard right hands. Sutter rolls to the floor. Carsons then turns and gets her hand up to strike Colleen. Colleen turns and does the same. The crowd roars as Sutter gets up, smirking.

Sutter: “Still mine, Colleen! Still mine!”

Sharper: “Carsons and McDonald both sending Sutter to the floor! But the damage done!”

Kayl: “Colleen’s still champion. And no one is happy here! Not even Colleen. She doesn’t want hand outs!”

Backstage, we see Deanna Frost walking out of her locker room. She stretches a bit before taking a few steps. The SCW Adrenaline Championship is around her waist. She then looks up as CHBK walks over to her. Deanna looks down briefly before looking up.

CHBK: “Deanna…”

Deanna: “Look, I need to get to the ring.”

CHBK: “I understand…but I need to ask one question. Did Selena talk to you as I instructed?”

Deanna pauses and looks off before turning to CHB.

Deanna: “I had a conversation with her. About what, I still don’t know.”

CHBK: “I think that’s telling.”

Deanna: “Look, I…I need to focus on the title match.”

CHBK: “Of course, we’ll talk later.”

Deanna turns and heads off. CHBK just shakes his head and sighs before then walking down the hallway.

Polly Playtime vs. Deanna Frost

SCW Adrenaline Championship

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

The SCW Adrenaline Championship logo comes across the screen as the fans cheer for the announcement of the match to come. Suddenly, the arena lights shut off completely. The crowd murmurs until Polly's voice can be heard saying:

"You want me to cut the crap? My answer is that you need to cut yours."

The arena stays completely dark until up on the big screen Polly's infamous glowing angry green eyes make an appearance. Most of the screen stays black, but her name fades in, in light purple "Polly Playtime".

An indistinct man's voice then says "Player Number One. Game Over."

A coin can be heard dropping into a coin slot and a pulsating beat begins to play as light purple strobe lights light up on both sides of the stage. "Too Much" by Dove Cameron begins as Dove immediately begins to sing the chorus, a figure emerges from the back and saunters to the center of the stage between the strobe lights. The overhead arena lights return and we can see that the figure is dressed in a long black robe that covers all of her, including her head. The hood drops back to reveal Polly not smiling or showing any hint of caring what others think of her. She allows the vocals to continue until Dove hits the chorus for a second time. The light purple strobe lights turn to point directly to the ring as Polly lets go of the robe that is cloaking her, revealing that she is wearing her black knee-high skirt, but also a very small strapless light purple top that hugs her mostly revealed upper body perfectly. She then picks up the item that she had used to tie her black robe around her, that item being a small whip.

Wasting no more time, she walks with purpose down to the ring as her entrance music continues. A lot of the crowd near ringside is gawking at her while some are booing. Polly just ignores every single last one of them as once at ringside, she feels the mat with both of her hands and rubs them a bit before sneering and walking over to the nearest set of steel ring steps. She walks up them and is very careful while she gets into the ring, as to not give the SCW Universe a show that they do not deserve.

Phillips: “Introducing first, the challenger, from Panguitch, Utah, she is… Polly Playtime!”

Once in the ring she runs the end of the whip around the canvas for a short bit before she chooses a corner of the ring and leans up against the ropes. As her music subsides, Polly can be heard saying "I'm too much for you to handle. Too much for ALL of you! Always have been, always will be. It's time you all see it."

The boos pick up. Polly is acting as if they don't exist as she has all of the whip in her hands now once again. She stays in her corner and waits for the bell to ring, fingering her whip, not even looking towards the stage.

Knots: “Your next Adrenaline Champion, right here!”

Sharper: “That remains to be seen, Jon. For far too long now, Polly has been antagonizing Deanna Frost. She had a chance to dethrone Deanna in the semi-finals of Shot of Adrenaline back at A Taste of Things to Come, but Deanna managed to prevail-”

Knots: “With a desperate pin where I’m pretty sure she had a hold of something to keep Polly down!”

Kayl: “And Polly assaulted her after the match. Since then, things have only been escalating as Polly’s made it clear she’s in support of whatever our CEO seems to be up to.”

The chords of "People Like Us" by Kelly Clarkson fill the arena, causing a roar from the audience as bright, fall leaves seem to blow and fly on the LED screens on and around the ramp. From the back curtain, out runs Deanna Frost, taking in the audience before running to the right side, then the left side, shouting to them in excitement. The 'leaves' follow her as she does. The SCW Adrenaline Championship can be seen around her waist. Returning to the middle, Deanna gives a spin on one foot, her arms outstretched, the 'leaves' circling her below her feet.

Phillips: “And her opponent, from Manhattan, New York, she is the SCW Adrenaline Champion… Deanna Frost!”

Hearing her name, Deanna stops her spin, side facing the ring, and, with one hand over her heart, her free hand arcs around to point forward, the 'leaves' flying down the ramp and 'circling' the ring LED barriers. Making her way down to the ring, Deanna high-fives fans along the way until she reaches the ring. Sliding under the ring, the redhead jumps to her feet, making her way to the middle ropes and leaning over them, one arm raised to the crowd. We see Polly look like she’s going to move in and jump start this match, but referee Jennifer Cassidy intercepts her and forces her to stay back as Deanna does the same to the other sides of the ring. On the last time, Deanna turns and hands off the title to Jennifer Cassidy, who holds it above her head before handing it off to the timekeeper while Deanna and Polly stare one another down.

Sharper: “We mentioned Polly’s constant aggression in trying to take out and dethrone Deanna, and Deanna’s made it no secret that she’s not exactly Mr. Delatosso’s biggest fan after the comments he made about Shot of Adrenaline, even after she won it.”

Knots: “And that’s exactly why Polly’s got another chance here tonight! Deanna robbed her in the tournament, and Mr. Delatosso is simply making things right!”

Kayl: “Doesn’t sound right to me, but neither does the issue we know has to be on Deanna’s mind after the last Breakdown, and that had nothing to do with Polly.”

Jennifer Cassidy signals for the bell and Polly charges right at Deanna, but puts on the brakes and backs up when Deanna tries to catch her with an immediate Burnout! Deanna ends up landing right in front of Polly, who catches her with a clothesline! Deanna tries to get to her feet, but Polly begins stomping away at her, trying to keep her on the mat and wear her down. Deanna attempts to get back to her feet despite this, which only causes Polly to shift to clubbing away at Deanna’s spine instead. Deanna shoves Polly back to create space, but Polly rebounds off the ropes and catches Deanna with a headscissors takeover that sends Deanna through the ropes and out to the floor!

Kayl: “Polly all over Deanna and ejecting her from the ring in the early-going!”

Knots: “And there’s no countouts in an Adrenaline Title match to save Deanna, so Polly can drag this out for as long as she wants!”

Sharper: “We know things between these two can get very physical very fast. Even ignoring their recent issues, two years ago at this exact same pay-per-view, Deanna just barely managed to beat Polly in a Last Woman Standing Match with the U.S. Title on the line.”

Knots: “And Polly’s a much different wrestler than she was back then!”

Deanna uses the ring apron to pull herself to her feet, but Polly charges and catches her with a baseball slide that sends Deanna back against the barricade! Polly uses the ropes to pull herself up on the apron as she measures Deanna before leaping off, intending to sandwich Deanna against the barricade with a diving crossbody, but Deanna moves and Polly crashes chest-first into the barricade! Some of the fans who witnessed it happen right in front of them groan at the impact as Polly staggers back, gasping for air. Deanna recovers and grabs Polly before throwing her back into the ring. She slides back in after her as Polly rolls to her feet, still clutching at her chest and ribs, and Deanna charges her and takes her down with a running back elbow! Polly tries to sit up, but Deanna runs off the ropes and follows this up with a swinging back elbow to the side of the head! She goes for the cover, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Polly gets her shoulder up right as Jennifer Cassidy’s hand hits the mat for the two count!

Sharper: “It took Deanna a moment to get out of the starting block, but now she seems to be firing on all cylinders.”

Knots: “It won’t be for long, trust me!”

Polly rolls towards the ropes before it looks like she’s going to roll out to the floor, but Deanna doesn’t allow this as she grabs Polly and pulls her back to her feet. She stuns Polly with another elbow strike before irish whipping her across the ring and following right after her. Polly bounces off the ropes and almost immediately catches Deanna’s knee to her gut, sending her flipping to the mat! She starts trying to get back to her feet again, but Deanna grabs her in a front facelock and flattens herself out, trying to wear Polly down on the mat. Referee Jennifer Cassidy checks in with Polly on this submission, but Polly refuses as she flails about, trying to squirm free of the facelock. She ultimately starts inching towards the ropes until her hand and foot are underneath the bottom rope, forcing Jennifer Cassidy to call for a rope break! Deanna immediately releases the facelock, and while she backs off, Polly slides out to the floor while Deanna rises.

Kayl: “Looks to me like Deanna’s still firmly in control right now, Jon.”

Sharper: “Deanna wearing down Polly, trying to keep her aggression in check so she can walk out of London with the Adrenaline Title still in her possession.”

Deanna motions for Polly to get back in the ring, but as Polly starts to pull herself up out on the floor, she ends up lifting the ring skirt and looking around underneath. Jennifer Cassidy moves to warn Polly, but she ignores the referee as she pulls out a steel chair! The fans begin booing as Polly goes to slide into the ring with it, but backs off when Deanna starts to move in to take the chair away from her. Polly just laughs before she unfolds the chair and sets it right at the edge of the rampway. Deanna looks confused by this, but Polly suddenly rushes back into the ring. Deanna attempts to catch her with a knee strike as Polly rises, but she sidesteps it before taking Deanna down with a drop toe hold before following it up with a chin lock! Polly makes sure Deanna is looking at the chair she set up as she tries to grind her down. Jennifer Cassidy checks in with Deanna, but she refuses to submit. As Polly keeps cranking on the chin lock, we hear her saying something to Deanna that’s drowned out by the booing fans and the chants of “DEANNA!” that rock Wembley Stadium, the only thing we’re able to really catch being Selena Frost’s name.

Sharper: “Polly managing to psyche out Deanna as she’s now the one trying to wear Deanna down with submissions, but what the hell does Polly have planned for that chair?”

Kayl: “Is she trying to claim to Deanna that Selena’s going to come have a seat or something?”

Knots: “Why not? A front row seat to watch the inferior Frost fail and prove that Selena was doing the right thing on Breakdown!”

Deanna starts throwing right hands, catching Polly in the side of the head as she tries to loosen her grip, the strikes growing a little more aggressive as Polly seemingly keeps mentioning Selena in whatever she’s saying. Deanna finally manages to get her feet under her and rises just enough to free herself from the chin lock with a jawbreaker! Polly stumbles back, rubbing her jaw as Deanna starts to rise, shaking her head. She boots Polly in the gut and hooks her for a DDT, but Polly manages to twist out and pulls Deanna in for a short-arm clothesline! Polly quickly follows this up with a jumping elbow drop across Deanna’s chest before staying on her for the cover.

1!

2!

Deanna kicks out! Polly looks annoyed before she measures a slow-rising Deanna. She goes to throw a roundhouse kick, but Deanna ducks it and takes Polly over with a snapmare! She starts trying to transition into a rear naked choke, but Polly scoots over towards the ropes. Just as it looks like Polly’s going to get her feet on the bottom rope before she can get the hold fully locked in, Deanna starts to loosen her grip and back off, but Polly reaches up and rakes her in the eyes!

Sharper: “Polly going right to the eyes when she had no reason to!”

Knots: “All’s fair in the game of wrestling, Adam, and Polly clearly knows this game better than Deanna does!”

Kayl: “Deanna was looking to break before Polly even fully got to the ropes… that’s not like her, and that has me worried for whatever’s going on in her head right now.”

Polly pulls herself up to her feet as Deanna takes a moment to clear her vision. She ends up charging at Polly, but Polly uses the ropes for leverage as she kicks Deanna back and backflips over the top rope, landing on the apron. Polly glances back at the unfolded chair sitting right behind her, as if contemplating, before shaking her head. She goes to slingshot herself at Deanna, but Deanna catches her, leaving Polly’s feet draped over the top rope before she plants her with a swinging neckbreaker! She drags Polly away from the ropes before going for a cover, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Polly kicks out! Deanna takes a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure as she glances out at the chair Polly set up out on the floor, trying to shake whatever thought Polly tried to put into her head out of it.

Sharper: “Huge neckbreaker from Deanna only gets two, but she desperately needed that change of momentum!”

Kayl: “I think what happened on Breakdown is still bothering her, and it’s hard to blame her.”

Knots: “Not for me, it’s not. Polly’s getting in her head and we’ve seen how smart she can be when she really wants to force someone into a chess game!”

Polly starts to get back to her feet, looking a little annoyed now, but she ends up turning right into a standing dropkick from Deanna! Deanna nods to herself, starting to feel the momentum as the fans are cheering her on, trying to help her get her head back in the game. Polly attempts to rise once again, but Deanna runs off the adjacent ropes before drilling her in the side of the head with a knee strike! She goes for a lateral press cover, hooking the leg once more.

1!

2!

Polly suddenly hooks Deanna’s arm and manages to roll them over so that Polly is the one with the pin now!

1!

2!

Deanna kicks out! As both women scramble to their feet, Deanna catches Polly with another standing dropkick that knocks her back against the ropes. She goes to grab Polly’s arm for an irish whip, but Polly jerks forward and shoves Deanna off. Deanna rolls through, but as she does, we see Polly reach into her skirt pocket. Deanna approaches and Polly goes to blow some dust she grabbed right into Deanna’s face, but Deanna sees it coming and sidesteps it! Jennifer Cassidy reprimands Polly, but she’s too furious about the failed attempt to blind Deanna and rushes her for the Eat My Dust anyway, but Deanna drops to the mat and Polly misses her completely before crashing into the mat herself! She tries to scramble back to her feet, but Deanna boots her in the gut before flipping her hair and planting her with a stiff-looking Spring Fling DDT!

Sharper: “Deanna managing to avoid the Eat My Dust and just plants Polly with a hard Spring Fling!”

Kayl: “Looks like Deanna’s starting to wise up to some of Polly’s tricks!”

Knots: “Oh, don’t count on it, Devon. The game’s only just begun!”

Polly slowly starts crawling towards the ropes, perhaps thinking it may finally be time to do something with that chair she’s had set up on the outside as that’s the side she specifically chooses to head towards. Deanna, however, is having none of this as she grabs Polly and delivers a hard knee strike to the gut before following up with a second Spring Fling DDT! This time, she rolls Polly over for the cover, hooking the leg.

1!

2!

Polly manages to get her other foot on the bottom rope! The fans groan as Deanna looks up at Jennifer Cassidy before realizing what happened, looking more frustrated with herself for not paying attention to where Polly was. Polly grabs the ropes and starts trying to pull herself up, but Deanna grabs her from behind in a rear waistlock, perhaps thinking german suplex, but Polly throws herself forward and sends Deanna through the ropes and out to the floor! Deanna almost goes flying into the chair but manages to stop herself. She turns around just as Polly climbs out onto the apron, and Polly suddenly throws herself off the apron and catches Deanna with a variation of Too Much For You that knocks Deanna into the chair and then to her back as it topples over!

Sharper: “Polly just throwing herself off the apron and driving Deanna into that chair she set up earlier!”

Knots: “Technically not a disqualification!”

Kayl: “That may be true, Jon, but Polly also can’t win the title out on the floor.”

The fans are booing and Jennifer Cassidy is admonishing Polly about the chair, but she snaps back about how it just so happened to be there when she landed on Deanna. Polly grabs Deanna by the hair and throws her back in the ring before she snaps the steel chair shut and slides that into the ring as well. As Polly slides back in, Jennifer Cassidy gets to the chair first, admonishing Polly again as the two of them get into a brief argument over it. The referee is firm in her refusal to allow the chair before she goes to throw it out of the ring, but as she’s distracted by this, Polly reaches into the same pocket she pulled the dust out of earlier. Deanna gets to her feet, catching sight of Polly just behind her, and suddenly runs off the ropes, hoping to surprise Polly with a Burnout, but Polly sidesteps it before blasting Deanna with a stiff right hand! As Deanna falls to the mat, Polly reveals she slipped on a pair of brass knuckles to add more impact to the blow before she tosses the evidence out of the ring and makes the cover. As Jennifer Cassidy realizes there’s a pin and slides into position, Polly gets a deep hook on the leg and nods along with the count.

Deanna gets a shoulder up!

Knots: “You’ve got to be kidding me! Blatant slow count!”

Sharper: “Hardly, Jon. Polly using the chair as bait and resorting to a pair of brass knuckles she was hiding, but Deanna reminding her of just how hard it is to keep her down!”

Kayl: “Polly pulling out every trick in the book, but she’s going to have to dig a little deeper if she wants the Adrenaline Title!”

Polly is fuming as she stands up and gets right in Jennifer Cassidy’s face, insisting that she slow counted and this match is over. The referee stands her ground, though, even as Polly begins shoving her into the corner and threatening her. Still, Jennifer Cassidy does not cave, and Polly goes to strike her, only for Deanna to grab her from behind and save the referee with a release german suplex! Polly hits the mat and briefly rolls up to her knees before falling to her back, and Deanna takes a moment to clear her head after the loaded punch before she runs to the ropes and springboards off the middle one into a lionsault! She goes for a cover, getting a deep hook on the leg.

Polly gets a shoulder up!

Sharper: “Deanna saving the official and almost putting Polly away!”

Knots: “She distracted Polly! Jennifer Cassidy should lose her job and Polly should be Adrenaline Champion right now!”

Kayl: “Polly started it! She’s got no one to blame but herself for losing focus!”

Deanna slowly rises back to her feet, motioning for Polly to get up. She shakes off the cobwebs as Polly slowly rises to her feet, staggering for a moment before turning towards Deanna, who lifts her up onto her shoulders for The Checkmate! Polly frantically kicks her legs and manages to slide off behind Deanna before stumbling back towards the ropes. Deanna turns and rushes Polly, leaping up to grab her for the Cold-Snapmare, but she seems to stop herself from trying to take Polly over as the fans begin booing at the use of one of Selena’s moves even if it was by pure instinct. Polly uses the momentum from the ropes to throw Deanna off of her, and as Deanna staggers back, Polly smirks before she runs in and takes Deanna over with a Cold-Snapmare of her own! The booing only gets louder as Polly pops back up to her feet before running off the ropes and catching Deanna as she tries to rise with The Head Turner! She rolls Deanna over with her foot before going for the cover.

Deanna kicks out! Polly rolls off of her and starts slamming her hands against the mat, absolutely losing it over the fact that she hasn’t won this match yet.

Sharper: “Deanna kicks out of The Head Turner after Polly stole one of Selena’s moves!”

Knots: “Hey, Deanna stole it first! Of course she’s going to keep leeching off of Selena’s greatness!”

Kayl: “Deanna relying on pure instinct in the moment there, but she had second thoughts and it almost cost her.”

Polly glares up at Jennifer Cassidy, who holds firm on her two count. She huffs before moving to drive her knee into the small of Deanna’s back, causing her to cry out before Polly starts trying to apply The End Game. Deanna, however, fights to keep Polly from pulling her arms into position before she manages to slip through Polly’s legs and free herself. Deanna turns and crawls towards the ropes, using them to help herself back to her feet, but Polly suddenly runs at her and uses the ropes for momentum to pull Deanna into an O’Connor roll, only for Deanna to manage to reverse it into a pin of her own!

Unlike at A Taste of Things to Come, this time Polly’s able to kick out just before Jennifer Cassidy’s hand hits the mat for the three! As Polly scrambles back to her feet, Deanna boots her in the gut before hooking her for the Red Sunset, but as she goes to twist into it, Polly manages to slip free before booting her in the gut now. She pulls Deanna’s head between her legs, motioning that it’s over, but Deanna manages to backdrop her way out of the Polly Pop! Polly manages to flip through and land on her feet, but as she turns, Deanna’s already running off the ropes and catches her flush on the jaw with The Burnout!

Sharper: “Burnout! Deanna finally caught Polly with the Burnout!”

Knots: “No! Polly will kick out of this! She has to!”

Kayl: “Sorry Jon, but I think Polly’s going to have to accept falling short again!”

Polly crumples to the mat as Deanna falls on top of her for the cover, slowly hooking the leg.

Just as Jennifer Cassidy’s hand is coming down for the three, Deanna’s ankle is grabbed and she’s dragged out of the ring! The fans are booing as Deanna’s face hits the mats out on the floor, and as she starts to get up she sees a hooded figure standing over her, just as that hooded figure superkicks her right in the face! Jennifer Cassidy immediately calls for the bell as Deanna crumples to the floor and the hooded figure stands over her for a moment before grabbing Deanna by the hair and hauling her to her feet, only to throw her face-first into the turnbuckle post!

Sharper: “Who the hell is this!? This hooded figure just brutalizing Deanna Frost!”

Knots: “I don’t have a clue, but I’m sure as hell not complaining!”

Kayl: “Deanna’s going to retain by disqualification, but she looked to be well on her way to victory anyway. Whoever this person is, though… they’re definitely trying to send a message.”

The hooded figure walks over to where Jennifer Cassidy discarded the steel chair from earlier and picks it up. The referee rolls out of the ring and tries to stop the figure, but they just shove her into the barricade before bringing Deanna up to her knees, using the turnbuckle post to help keep Deanna propped up as they wrap the steel chair around her head, making sure the seat is right in front of Deanna’s face. As Deanna looks up through glassy eyes, the figure reaches up and pushes the hood off their head, revealing the face of Dawn Lohan! The fans lose it, some cheering for Dawn’s return but most booing because of how she chose to return, but Dawn just ignores them as she crushes Deanna’s skull between the chair and the ringpost with another superkick! Deanna just falls to the floor, completely out, as Dawn just stares down at her for a few moments before turning and making her way up the ramp.

Sharper: “What the hell!? Dawn Lohan is back! And she just decimated Deanna Frost!”

Kayl: “It’s been ages since we’ve seen Dawn! Why now? And why assault Deanna?”

We can hear Knots sound like he wants to chime in, but he keeps stopping himself, likely grappling with the fact that this means Polly’s lost this match. Polly is slowly starting to stir in the ring but is still definitely out of it. Meanwhile, Jennifer Cassidy is checking on Deanna as we see several officials running down the ramp, right past Dawn, to help. Dawn pauses briefly to turn and look at the damage she’s done as the fans keep booing all of this, but she doesn’t react as she turns and continues making her way to the back.

The scene goes backstage as we see Destiny Page standing with Dexter Grant. Wendell stands with him, smiling at Destiny.

Page: “Welcome backstage. Destiny Page here and I’m with Dexter Grant who will face Ryan Lecavalier later. We heard her apparent reasoning for attacking you. What say you?”

Grant: “If that is why, because I deigned saying the name of Selena Frost…then you may no longer have much going on up there. Desperation seems to be something both of you have in common, but I will not be someone who is going to be a stepping stone to relevancy. I am a former champion, no matter whether this company wants to sweep that under the rug or not and I am someone who has a clean goal here. It’s not the adulation of an egomaniacal so-called legend. It’s to help everyone see the bigger problem – to see the forest for the trees – to Disconnect to Reconnect! And Ryan…you may need it more than anyone. Because you’ve lost the plot. Perhaps some silence will be helpful. Or maybe…it will allow you to go away. We’ll find out starting tonight.”

Grant turns to Wendell.

Grant: “Come on. We need to prepare.”

Grant walks off as Wendell looks at Destiny. The two sharing a brief friendly glance before Wendell follows Grant.

Page: “Back to ringside.”

Meghan Strader vs. La Pequena Luz

SCW United States Championship

Thunderdome Match

“Du Hasst” by RAMMSTEIN plays throughout the arena as the THUNDERDOME begins to descend on the ring as Phillips begins his introductions the music and strobelights stop. "Boys Wanna Be Her” (Tommie Sunshine's Brooklyn Fire Retouch) by Peaches begins to play as the houselights slowly dim. At the 30 second mark, lights start flickering as the beat and rhythm of the song get louder. All of the Cowgirls from Hell enter the stage, weapons in hand, lining the rampway.

~Uh!

Uh, uh, uh, uhhhhhh!

You've got them all by the balls

Causin' waterfalls, stone walls, bar brawls

Common stalls that cause 'em all

To you, they crawl, body sprawl

Smokin' Pall Malls, close call, stand tall

Doll, you make them feel so small (and they love it)~

Phillips: “Introducing first… the challenger…

The SCWtron lights up with the chrome ‘S’ emblem and explodes into shots of Meghan, smacking the taste out Shadow Starr’s mouth with a kick to the jaw, stepping on Ai Mei’s skull, pinning Corey Lazarus one, two three and the last shot of her being her holding one half of the PWA Tag Team Titles, BWF Tag Titles, ICW Tag Titles, IWF tag Titles, CWA Tag titles and with the Revo1 Wrestling tag team title. All kinds of tag titles. It’s her thing. We get shots of her pinning Polly Pingotti, Colleen, and La Puequeña Luz. A few more of her hitting Waylon Creek with her finisher and stepping toe to toe with Syren. Her name flashes on the screen, and a small amount of Pyro shoots off as Meghan steps out from behind the curtain, followed by her Aunt Vanessa, and overall manager of the Strader clan.

~The boys wanna be her

The girls wanna be her

The boys wanna be her

The girls wanna be her

The boys wanna be her

The girls wanna be her

The boys wanna be her

I wanna be her

Yes I do~

Phillips: “Hailing from London, Ontario Canada at a height of five foot eleven and weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds and representing the Cowgirls From Hell…”

~The way you rock, don't stop

Girl, you got the chops

Flip-flop, she bops, self-taught

You look so hot

Are you conceived, kids receive

Crawling up her sleeve

Parents bleed, can't conceive

That indeed we'll never leave (and we love it)~

Meghan stops and waves at the crowd as she shifts her hips to the right side. She nods at her Cowgirls. She makes her way down to ringside.

Phillips: “She is a former SCW United States and Underground Champion… MEGHAN STRADERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

~The boys wanna be her

The girls wanna be her

The boys wanna be her

The girls wanna be her

The boys wanna be her

The girls wanna be her

The boys wanna be her

I wanna be her

So do you~

Meghan finger pistols to the fans on her descent down the ramp.
