The music begins as Amanda struts out onto the stage in high heels, wearing a Vegas showgirls costume, with a blue, green and silver peacock theme.

Amanda: Now you know (mm-hmm)

Amanda does a hand on hip, look back over the shoulder pose and wink as the spotlight fades off.

And we return to ringside to join Belinda Simone and Jason Adams.

Simone: Hello everyone and WELCOME to Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone!

Adams: **sings** Bounce, and turn it, you hot tonight, gon' burn it... oh! Erm, I'm Jason Adams?

Simone: Scary thing is you were doing that very well.

Adams: ... Really?

Simone: Mm. And tonight we continue to prepare for the biggest event of the year in just three weeks; High Stakes X! Seven matches highlight this evening including a daughter out to defend her mother's honor in a steel cage in tonight's main event!

Adams: But we start tonight with a familiar rivalry between "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart and Caleb Storms! This is the third time these two guys have faced each other, and each man has won a match. Tonight they settle this between them in the tie breaker match!

Simone: Mac Bane is set and ready to challenge for the Roulette Championship at High Stakes X, but he is being put to the test this week against none other than Stephen Callaway. But to make things interesting, and to ensure Mac be in the right mindset for the title match, this match is being contested under Roulette division rules!

Adams: We know it was Mercedes Vargas that had been tormenting Candy these past several weeks and the two WILL meet at High Stakes X! But this week they agreed to choose an opponent for the other, and Mercedes will face the woman Candy chose for her; Roxi Johnson! It's a Clash of the Hall of Fame!

Simone: Austin James Mercer is scheduled to challenge for the World heavyweight title, but is he ready for the top man, Jack Washington? We find out this week when he goes up against the Roulette Champion Kedron Williams in a non-title match!

Adams: Then it's Candy's turn to face the opponent of Mercedes Vargas' choosing, and Mercedes chose Amber Ryans!

Simone: Before Evie Jordan faces Kate Steele at High Stakes X, she must first match up against a young woman whom she faced two years ago in the Blast From the Past finals, Courtney Pierce! It was that match where Courtney and her partner Fenris, two fresh faced rookies, ended Evie's then-attempt to become a two-time Blast From the Past champion, and this match gives Evie the chance for a little payback. Unless of course Courtney comes out on top again and then certainly all hell will break loose!

Adams: And the Main Event! Brittany Williams all but BEGGED the bosses to give her a match against Andrea Hernandez! Christian did not want to, but Mark agreed anyway -- probably to piss Christian off! But Christian upped the stakes on his own because the two Bombshells have to fight inside of a steel cage!

Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!

---

Simone: Well, Caleb's competing in tonight's opening match, so we at least get his parody out of the way early.

Adams: At least it can't be as bad as last week's Crazy Train parody or Roxi's Soul!

Almost on cue Jason is handed a note by a stage hand and lets out a deep breath as he reads it.

Adams: This week's parody is "Who Let Bill Barnhart Out", a parody of "Who Let the Dogs Out" by the Baha Men.

Simone: Oh, good, he's throwing in cultural appropriation this week!

We cut to a quick "RIP Shaun Connery" graphic before the karaoke version of the one hit wonder from the 1990s starts to play and Caleb appears on screen in stereotypical Rasta gear.

Caleb: Who let Bill Barnhart Out?
(Who? Who? Who?)
Who Let Bill Barnhart Out?
(Who? Who? Who?)

The match is going to be nice and easy for me
(Bill can't beat me, no he can't)
Somebody throw him a tennis ball
(throw him a tennis ball)
And maybe send him back to the asylum
(he clearly lost his mind during the lockdown)
Then things will be back to normal around here
(back to normal at long last)

Who let Bill Barnhart Out?
(Who? Who? Who?)
Who Let Bill Barnhart Out?
(Who? Who? Who?)
Who let him out of the Asylum?
(Who? Who? Who?)
Why did you let him out of the asylum?
(Who? Who? Who)
Doesn't matter because I'll be kicking his ass anyway!

The parody is mercifully cut short and we cut to the face-palming announcers.

Simone: I would like to apologize to any remaining fans we have who are from the Bahamas.

Adams: Let's just cut to the next scene before things gets worse!

---

We see Bill Barnhart, Bea Barnhart, and their English Bulldog Iris, standing outside their dressing room talking with Sin City Wrestling Interviewer Scott Oliver.

Scott: So, Bill, you made some very hard comments to Caleb Storms leading up to this match. Do you still stand by what you said?

Bill: I always stand by what I say.

Scott: What did Caleb Storms do to you that makes you want to destroy him?

Bill: Other than the fact he is Caleb Storms?

Scott: Yes.

Bill: Storms is an obnoxious punk and I'm here to take him out. That's all anyone needs to know.

Scott: Bea how do you feel about Bill's match with Caleb Storms?

Bea: Without interference on the part of Caleb Storms this will be an easy match for Bill. However, Scott, I fully expect Kris or Mikah, or someone they hire, to interfere in Bill's match in retaliation for what we did to them a week ago. They can try if they want but they have to deal with me, Iris, and Senor Vinnie is lurking around where they least expect him to be.

Scott: What do you expect will be the reaction of the Referee should you and Bill and Iris get attacked during the match?

Bea: They should immediately issue a Disqualification on Caleb Storms since it is obvious me and Bill didn't pay people to run to the ring and attack us. We'll take the Disqualification victory if that's how Caleb wants to play it. However for those who might attack us they need to remember that payback is hell and we will pay them back.

Scott: Thanks for your time. Bea I hope there is no interference to cause more issues. Bill I hope you have a clean match.

The scene starts to fade out when Bill, Bea, and Iris, turn and head off down the hallway.

---

Justin: Our opening contest for Climax Control is scheduled for one fall to a finish! Introducing first...!

The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing across the arena before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp.

Justin: Introducing, from Syracuse, New York and weighing in at 220ibs, he is "The Metal Storm" Caleb Storms!

Caleb makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as he makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring and throwing up the metal horns as he waits for his opponent (or for the match to start if his opponents are already in the ring.

Justin: And his opponent...!

Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar.

Justin: Accompanied by Bea Barnhart and Iris! From Lawrenceville, Georgia, weighing 240 pounds -- "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to Bea so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.

DING DING DING!

Bill immediately charges at Caleb and bull him into the corner. Bill unloads heavy rights and lefts in to Caleb's mid section, firing in hard rights and lefts to Caleb, taking the immediate advantage! Caleb blocks one and fires and punch back towards Bill, surprising him and rocking him backward. Caleb fires another hand towards Bill's head but Bill blocks it by catching his hand. As Bill catches Caleb's hand, Caleb lifts a boot and plants in to Bill's gut. As Bill drops forward, Caleb grabs the arm and runs up the ropes, spring boarding off into a flying arm drag!

Simone: Caleb's high flying risk taking will be his best bet against the veteran "Bulldog."

Bill pounds the mat and gets back up to his feet, but Caleb stays on the attack, by jumping at Barnhart and catching him with a dropkick but Bill remains upright. Barnhart stumbles backward and Storms puts him in a headlock and squeezes down on his bigger opponent, but Bill uses his strength to lift Caleb off his feet and drop him backwards with a belly to back suplex.

Adams: And Bulldog's strength and experience is his.

Caleb holds the back of his neck but quickly rolls over to his stomach and gets back to his feet but Barnhart is already waiting for him. Bill stares at Caleb and runs towards him, attempting a big boot, but Caleb side steps Bill's advance and jumps over his back, scissoring his head and throwing him over! Bill lays on the mat, looking angry and surprised as Caleb get up and stomps on his chest. Caleb stomps higher, but Bill catches his foot while laying on his back and starts to force his way back to his feet, while holding on to Caleb's foot. Bill gets to his knees and forces Caleb out of striking distance. Bill gets to his feet, pulling Caleb towards him by the leg and clotheslines him hard!

Simone: Wow! Bill Barnhart nearly took his head off there!

Adams: That would have left a mess. But appropriate for the day after Halloween.

Bill stares down at Caleb, a smile on his face and he picks Caleb back to his feet. He throws him off the ropes and lifts him high in the air, nailing him with a flapjack! Bill goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Caleb gets a shoulder up!

Simone: Caleb still has some fight in him.

Bill gets back to his feet and waits for Caleb to return to his, as he does, Barnhart charges him and nails him with a big boot to the side of the head, sending Caleb crashing to the floor. Barnhart then sends him into the ropes but Caleb springboards off the ropes and lands on Barnhart with a moonsault, wiping him out!

Caleb picks him up to his feet and goes for an Irish whip but Bill reverses it! Bill goes for a clothesline but Caleb turns it into a tilt-a-whirl DDT! Bill's head is planted into the mat and Caleb goes for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Bill Barnhart kicks out!

Simone: It will take a lot to put the Bulldog away!

The crowd cheers as Caleb turns around raising his arms to the crowd. He charges at Bill Barnhart and crashes a low drop kick to the jaw. Caleb pulls him to his knees and steps back, he charges at Bill and nails him the face with a shining wizard, his knee crashing in to the side of Bill Barnhart's face. Bill lays flat on the back and Caleb looks at the top rope and walks towards it, and starts to climb.

Simone: Familiar territory for Caleb!

Caleb reaches the top and looks down at the fallen Bill Barnhart and flies off with a 450 splash, connecting with Bill Barnhart's chest! Caleb goes for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Bill powers out!

Adams: Uh oh, I think he just smacked the Bulldog on the nose with a paper! You know how much dogs just LOVE that!

Caleb tries to hit him, but Bill grabs his hand and twists it around. Bill pulls Caleb in close and lifts him high in the air by the arm and throws Caleb across the ring with a belly to belly suplex! Storms gets to his feet, but Bill quickly grabs him around the waist and lifts him off the ground and tosses him down with a huge spine buster! Bill stares down at Caleb and drags him up to his feet, Bill puts his arm across Caleb's chest and lifts him up, brings him down across his knee with a huge back breaker! Bill dumps him to the mat and makes the cover, hooking the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Caleb gets his shoulder up!

Adams: Bill looks more determined then he did when he started this match!

As Caleb gets back to his feet, Bill sends him into the ropes with an Irish whip and goes for a clothesline but Caleb ducks under for a Crucifix -- then slides down his back with a sunset flip and somersaults over into a fast bridge!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner -- Caleb STORMS!

Simone: Caleb pulls a surprise pinfall victory from out of nowhere!

Adams: Bulldo0g is stunned! He had everything going his way! Everything!

Simone: And that is how he grew overconfident and Caleb surprised him!

At a booth where a bunch of the merch that Andrea Hernandez is selling, Sam Marlowe can be seeing walking up to the table to stand across from where Andrea is.

Sam Marlowe: Will you look at that. What a selection.

With the glare of the former Bombshell champion knifing through her, Sam looks over the rest of the merch until an image of her with a red cross over her face gets her attention.

Sam Marlowe: Wow Andrea, you are pretty quick with merchandising stuff aren't you? Only a few days ago I mentioned that I found the tee shirt you had made about Christina Rose made me laugh a little. It wasn't that the merch was funny, it was the fact that nobody ever thought of something like that before. And I used the comedy of it to egg on Seleana when I faced her.

Sam picks up one of the posters and just shakes her head. Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out a small wallet and then counts out a dollar twenty five and tosses it at Andrea who catches it with a questioning look on her face.

Sam Marlowe: Best buck and a quarter I have spent.

Sam turns away before turning back and leaning towards Andrea.

Sam Marlowe: Halloween is over but I love the costume you have Andrea. I do have a small bit of advice though, when you dress up as a merchandise salesperson, try not to look so cheap.

Sam smiles then walks away holding the framed poster leaving Andrea sputtering behind her.

The slow church bells of "Unsainted" by Slipknot are heard throughout the arena before the choir starts singing the words, when Corey Taylor joins in and the drumming picks up the lights flashing across the arena.

Simone: Jessie made three things clear last week, that her title reign was a long time coming, there would be no open challenge and that she won't give up the title without a fight.

Adams: You forgot the most important thing Belinda she thinks Johanna should earn her rematch.

As the song kicks into high gear with Corey's scream Jessie emerges from the back carrying the Bombshell Roulette Championship over her shoulder, she makes her way down to the ring and enters it before taking the mic from Justin.

Jessie: It's funny, when I was demanding title shots everyone and their mothers lost their minds, yet when Johanna demands a title shot, everyone's cool with it?

Jessie asks rhetorically as she paces around the ring.

Jessie: Last week I pointed out a simple fact, Johanna should earn her rematch, but I guess the bosses aren't as gun hoe about that when it comes to Johanna huh? Hell, they wanted to schedule a title rematch between me and Johanna for this week but because of a scheduling issue they pushed that match to the Going Home Show next week, my main question is, why?

Jessie asks simply before shaking her head.

Jessie: Not "why did they push the match back" but rather "why Johanna" and before you point out that she's the former champion, I don't remember rematch clauses being a thing, besides Candy held this title for months and she never got her rematch, granted that was because Violet dropped it to Seleana on the Queen for a Day Climax Control but if it was Candy instead, I wouldn't have a problem defending this title against her, frankly, Candy is someone who I've wanted to wrestle since she joined but no, we have to give special attention to the one defence wonder Johanna Krieger.........

Cut throat by Kittie hits as Johanna Krieger storms out from the back and down to the ring. Various backstage personnel and agents attempt to stop her, but she is able to push by them, grab a mic and slide in the ring with a snarl.

Johanna: From what I could piece together from this unbelievable dribble. You are mad because I'm getting a rematch for a championship that I actually held, while you just demanded title shots from people who you never beat, who you never stood a chance against, and you felt entitled to have. I don't care if other people held that championship for months and didn't get a rematch. It's not my fault that they didn't step forward and try and get back what apparently was theirs.

Johanna shakes her head with a sigh throwing her hands up

Johanna: Who exactly are you to decide what does and doesn't happen? Mark Ward and Christian Underwood are the ones who decided to give me a rematch. Because I got angry and stomped my feet and demanded one. You may not like it, the fans may not like it, but the truth is Jessie that you have just proven you aren't championship material by coming out here and throwing a little tantrum about having to face me again. Before your fluke of a win against me, I was dominating everyone I was putting the ring against. Whether that was in mixed tag matches or singles matches. You get one fluke of a win after having a title opportunity that you didn't earn and now suddenly you are the queen?

Johanna steps close to Jessie.

Johanna: If you're not careful.... something very, very bad will happen you snivelling weasel.

Jessie scoffs as she rolls her eyes.

Jessie: Still pushing the "fluke" narrative around, eh Johanna? Or are you scared that people will slowly start to realize that Alex Jones was the one pulling the weight in that tag team?

Jessie says before getting in Johanna's face.

Jessie: You say I'm not championship material, but I say my accomplishments in SCW speak for themselves and some angry German who's barely been in this company for a year doesn't get a say in whether I'm championship material or not! Why don't you just face facts Johanna, you fell at the first hurdle of every new champion, the first defence, and your just mad that you lost it to someone who's spent the last eight fucking years putting their heart and soul into this fucking company!

The crowd pops as Jessie continues.

Jessie: I never said I was the queen, I may have called myself a princess last week but that was a completely different thing, all I wanted was for the bosses to not expose themselves as the hypocrites they are by making you fight for it, do yourself a favour Johanna, don't underestimate me, Maki made the same mistake at Violent Conduct and look at what I did to her.

Jessie adds before smirking.

Jessie: Or do, and keep masking the truth, that your afraid to admit that you were a failure as a champion who threw your toys out of the pram when I got the better of you!

Johanna: You go on a two match win streak after losing...what a hundred in a row? Or did you lose count? You have the most losses in the Bombshells division Jessie, that means your win is the literal definition of "fluke" and in a few weeks...I'm going to break you.

Jessie shakes her head in response.

Jessie: I may have the most losses in this division but when you look at how stacked the division is, maybe that's not such an insult anymore?

Jessie asks before holding up the Roulette Title.

Jessie: You can stand here and talk about how your going to "break me" all you want, but until you can back it up in a singles match against me, that's all you are and all you ever will be, nothing but talk! But then again, that's not the first time you've proven to be all talk, isn't it? So say your goodbyes to this title because once I beat you, I'm going to High Stakes X to take on a woman who's ten times the wrestler you'll ever be in Char Kwon and when I beat her, maybe I'll finally get some fucking respect.

Jessie adds before smirking.

Jessie: After all, you had to rely on Alex Jones to do the leg work whilst you were one half of the Mixed Tag Champs so maybe..........

Johanna slaps the microphone from Jessie's hand and goes for a takedown both women throwing punches as officials and agents swarm the ring to pull them apart

Simone: That comment really seemed to get under Krieger's skin!

Adams: These two want to tear each other apart before their title match!

The brawl quickly turns nasty between the two Bombshells as many agents who try to break it up catch stray fists from Johanna and Jessie, eventually a squad of security guards storm down the ramp with an angry Mark Ward at the back.

Simone: Oh, oh.

Adams: You know things are serious when Mark is coming down the ring with that look on his face.

Mark lets the guards go first and they waste no time in breaking up the brawling Bombshells separating them by keeping them in opposite corners, Mark enters the ring and picks up the microphone that was slapped out of Jessie's hand.

HS: ENOUGH! I WILL NOT HAVE ONE OF THE TITLE MATCHES AT HIGH STAKES X COMPROMISED LIKE THIS!

Mark yells into the microphone as he looks between the two Bombshells, Jessie mouths "Johanna started it" and Mark shakes his head.

HS: I don't give a toss who started it, I'm finishing it right now! Jessie, we may not see eye to eye on a lot of things, but you've given your heart and soul to this damn company and are a future Hall of Famer so believe me when I say this.

Mark says as he walks up to Jessie.

HS: Lay one more hand on Johanna between now and High Stakes outside of title matches and I'm stripping you of your title! And you can forget about getting into the title match as well because I'll follow that up with a lifetime title shot ban!

Mark says before going over to Johanna.

HS: I don't agree with everything Jessie just said but she does bring up a point, you haven't done anything to earn your rematch! If you put your hands on her again you can kiss that title shot goodbye! Now then, I want them both in separate locker rooms for the rest of the night! Only let them out if they need the bathroom and only with the guards escorting them!

The guards do as they are told dragging the two Bombshells to the back as the scene fades.

---

The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the Number One Contender to the Roulette Championship Mac Bane and his opponent for tonight Stephen Callaway standing in front of the Roulette Wheel waiting for their match to be determined.

Simone: It is almost time for our second match of the evening as Mac Bane takes on Stephen Callaway in a Roulette Rules Match!

Adams: A win here would give Mac some serious momentum going into his title match against Kedron Williams whilst a win for Stephen would be a major turnaround for him!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?

Mac and Stephen nod and Rocky spins the wheel, once the wheel comes to a stop the two men share a look whilst Drew Patton lets out an exasperated sigh in the ring.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I'm just going to get out of here because this match will be a Falls Count Anywhere Match!

Rocky quickly ducks out of the Roulette Wheel room and sure enough Stephen and Mac start brawling! Drew calls for the bell inside the ring and quickly jogs to the backstage area.

Simone: One of these days, the bosses will dictate that if the Roulette Wheel lands on Falls Count Anywhere the competitors in that match must wait until they are in the ring before they start!

Adams: But until that day comes, they will continue to start in the backstage area!

Drew catches up with the brawling wrestlers just as Stephen rams Mac into the wall with a running tackle before laying in some more punches, however Mac ducks under the last punch, grabs Stephen by his lang hair and throws him face first into the Roulette Wheel! Stephen stumbles backwords right into a running Spear from Mac that knocks him back into the Roulette Wheel knocking it over in the process!

DING DING DING!

Simone: I hope that didn't damage the wheel!

Adams: Yeah, this may be the only Roulette Rules Match of the night, but we still need that thing!

Mac drags Stephen away from the knocked over Roulette Wheel (which is indeed undamaged) before going for the first pin of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

And Stephen gets the shoulder up! Mac shakes his head before he leaves the Roulette Wheel room in search of something else to deal damage to Stephen with, Ms. Rocky Mountains can be seen getting the hell out of there as Mac picks up a Steel Chair that she was previously occupying but he doesn't get a chance to use it as Stephen dropkicks the chair right into the Texan wrestler's face knocking the larger man down.

Simone: That's what Mac gets for not being courteous to Ms. Rocky Mountains!

Adams: And turning his back on Stephen!

Stephen picks up the discarded chair and starts wailing on Mac with it and thanks to the rules of the match Drew isn't in much of a position to really do anything about the blatant cheating! Eventually Stephen manages to break the chair over Mac's body (much to Ms. Rocky Mountains' annoyance) before he goes for a cover on the larger man, Drew takes a moment to get into position as he was out of position prior to the pin attempt but once he's in position he starts the count.

ONE!

TWO!

And Mac kicks out, Stephen complains to Drew about this claiming that it would've been three had Drew done his bloody job but Drew's having none of it.

Simone: Nine years, this promotion has been active for nine years, yet the talent still argues with the refs!

Adams: To be fair to Stephen, Drew was slow to get into position for that pin attempt on Mac!

Once it becomes clear that Drew isn't having any of his crap Stephen shakes his head before turning his attention back to Mac who is on his knees at this point, seeing that his attacks have managed to dislodge the seat and back of the steel chair Stephen gets an idea and wraps the remains of the chair around Mac's throat and pulls back blatantly choking the massive Texan but because of the rules of the match Drew has to count it as a submission and asks Mac if he wants to submit.

Simone: If it were a category, I'd suggest putting Stephen up for "most unique usage of a weapon".

Adams: That's probably why it isn't a category, can you imagine the lengths a wrestler like Mac would go too to top that?

Mac refuses to submit and quickly finds a way out of the hold, namely what was once the seat of the destroyed steel chair which he grabs and whacks Stephen in the head with! Stephen falls over backwards inadvertently dragging Mac on top of him and creating a pinning situation.

ONE!

TWO!

And Stephen apparently has enough ware withal to get the shoulder up! Mac removes the remains of the chair from around his head and tosses the seat aside before picking up Stephen and dragging him with him to another part of the arena with Drew in hot pursuit.

Simone: I dread to think of where Mac is taking Stephen!

Adams: This is our first ever show here at the Park Theatre and if they have their way, it could be our last!

As Mac drags Stephen along Stephen recovers enough to start firing off punches into the gut of the larger man stopping him in his tracks before he can get any further and the two men start brawling again which eventually takes them to the second floor of the backstage area with Drew not far behind them, after a while Stephen manages to grab a hold of Mac's arm and applies an arm bar whilst dangling over the edge of a balcony.

Simone: Does Stephen even realize where he is right now?

Adams: If he does, he doesn't care, he just wants to beat Mac!

Drew gets into position as Mac is nearly dragged over the edge by Stephen's weight but manages to stop himself in the nick of time, Stephen meanwhile realizes the precarious position he's found himself in and lets go off the hold and grabs onto the balcony to stop himself from falling, he pulls himself up and then hits Mac with an enziguri from the balcony stunning him long enough for Stephen to connect with a Slingblade!

Simone: Thank god Stephen came to his senses before that ended badly!

Adams: But that brush with death isn't stopping Stephen from going for a cover on Mac!

ONE!

TWO!

And Mac gets the shoulder up! Stephen doesn't let up however and goes for another, much more traditional and much safer submission hold, namely a Nagata Lock and Drew gets into position to ask Mac if he wants to submit but the big man refuses to give up the fight that easily and reverses it into a roll up on Stephen!

ONE!

TWO!

And Stephen gets the shoulder up breaking the submission hold in the process! Stephen is the first one to get back to his feet and calls out for his finisher, he initially goes for his Superkick but Mac ducks it right before it hits him, then Stephen tries the Curb Stomp after tripping Mac up but Mac rolls out of the way, the same goes for his attempts at the Reverse DDT, Ta

mission and Throwback.

Simone: Good god, how many finishers does Stephen have?!

Adams: There's one he hasn't tried, a top rope Death Valley Driver because, well, they aren't in a ring, wait, you don't think?!

Out of pure desperation Stephen drags Mac out onto the edges of the balcony and tries to hit the Death Valley Driver from the Balcony confirming Jason's worse fears in the process, however Mac slips out the back (nearly falling off the edge in the process) and applies the Snake Bite to Stephen, seeing an opportunity to send a message to Kedron Mac leaps from the Balcony with a leaping Claw Slam that drives the fans wild!

Simone: OH MY GOD! HOW IS STEPHEN EVEN ALIVE AFTER THAT?!

Adams: I don't know but one thing's for sure, stick a fork in Stephen, he's done!

Drew races down to the ground floor to check on the wrestlers but Mac just tells him to apply the count which he does so.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, Mac Bane!

Simone: Mac Bane wins in a rare match result where the pin was simply a formality!

Adams: Stephen gave it his all, but it wasn't enough in the end.

Paramedics rush to attend to Stephen whilst Mac celebrates his win.

As the cameras cut back inside the arena, the giggle from the start of Kehlani's "Gangsta" floods the arena PA as the lights go out one by one. By the time the first words of the song start, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T.

Simone: Apparently Courtney Pierce will be gracing us with her presence well ahead of her match with Evie later tonight.

Adams: No complaints here.

Simone: Well she has been talking about finally putting some grand plan into motion tonight. I assumed maybe that had something to do with Evie.

Adams: Well if you're wrong, we're about to find out.

As the beat of the song finally kicks in, the SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a modest reaction from the fans in attendance. She stops at the top of the ramp, crosses her ankles, her purple ring gear shimmering with all of the camera flashes around the arena, and takes a slight bow to the crowd with her arms out to her sides. Court makes her way to ringside, and carefully makes her way up the ringside stairs and onto the apron. She ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and into the ring.

Simone: She looks ready for a fight, but her match isn't until much later on.

Adams: She could be about to pick one.

Court's music cuts off abruptly as she asks for a microphone from one of the crew members at ringside. Once she has it, she moves back to the center of the ring as the fans start to settle back down.

Court: So I may have the biggest match of my return happening a little later tonight, but before all of that I have some people that I need to talk to first.

The fans pop a little bit, taking the bait that she is talking about them. With a smirk on her face, she quickly squashes that.

Court: ...and those people are, The Black Sheep.

All the lights in the arena go out as "Black Sheep" starts to play. Through the build up of the song the stage flashes with a mix of orange, and turquoise lights. Mikah makes her way out onto the stage through the left curtain, one hand on her hip and the other is held out, brushing off the negative reaction of those in attendance. Simultaneously, Kris comes through the right curtain. Each of them has their respective half of the Mixed Tag Team Championships strapped around their waists.

Simone: Ask and you shall receive!

Adams: The Black Sheep weren't even scheduled to be out here tonight after the attack by The Barnharts last Climax Control!

Simone: Well they're looking pretty alright from where I'm sitting.

Both of them stop at the center of the stage, Mikah putting her back to Kris before rolling her hips and whipping her hair over her left shoulder. The cameras move up the ramp, rotating around behind the duo to see The Black Sheep logo display on their shirts. They make their way down the ramp, mostly ignoring everyone reaching out to them, and talking back and forth to one another. Once they reach the bottom of the ramp Kris takes a running start and slides under the bottom rope and into the ring coming to a stop just in front of Court.

Simone: Let's not forget, Kris is the one that caused Court to break her hand which started the string of setbacks that kept her out for the last two years.

Adams: Yeah well, rumor has it she has continued training with Mikah, Kris and now even Kate Steele at Jet City South.

While Kris gets to his feet in front of an unintimidated Court, Mikah jogs up the ringside stairs before strutting two steps onto the apron. Kris comes to the ropes near Mikah, sitting down on the middle rope to lower it as he unsnaps the championship belt from his waist. The fans boo as Mikah shakes her head while removing her own championship. She steps over the middle rope, dipping her upper body lower than her lower body to make her butt stick out a bit in front of him. As soon as she is into the ring, Kris steps away from the ropes. Both champions place their belts over their right shoulders waiting to find out why their trainee summoned them to the ring.

Court: Well I wasn't expecting that to happen quite so fast....

Kris retreats into the corner on the far side of the ring, already looking annoyed.

Kris: Yeah well, you have kind of telegraphed this one. All this talk about some major move you're putting in motion. We wanted to cut out some of the babble.

Kris leans against the turnbuckles in the corner of the ring and rests his arms along the top ropes.

Mikah: We have other things to be doing.

Court brushes off their mild hostility. At this point she was used to dealing with the two of them.

Court: Neither of you have anything better to do. If you hang out backstage you'll probably just get jumped by another pair of idiots who think they can take your titles.

Kris opens his mouth to defend himself, but after last week's attack by The Barnharts he couldn't really argue.

Court: Which is actually part of my point. The Black Sheep were never meant to be some duo taking on the whole roster. It was started as a group of talented people that were just looking out for each other's interests. You are both a few friends short of living up to your name.

Mikah: You've got to be kidding...

Kris: I don't think she is.

Court had expected resistance, and their objections didn't surprise her in the least.

Court: By my count I think The Black Sheep needs to double in size before you two are going to be able to make sure that things like the attack last week doesn't become the new normal. Wolfslair lasted so long because nobody was going to even consider doing something like that to one of them. They knew the other three would be there at every turn. Even a group as dumb as the Trenton Tigers got the right idea for a minute or two there.

Kris waves a hand at her, cutting her off.

Kris: Even if you had a point, which you don't, there's only three of us standing here. Mikah and I are undefeated as a team. I have only lost one match since returning. We aren't in desperate need of any help, and you don't even have the back-up you say you do.

Mikah: ...and it's not like there is many people we trust anyways. Finding someone that fits would be the needle in the haystack.

Court: That's funny.... The first person I asked jumped at the opportunity....

With a smile on her face, Court lets her words trail off. Kris seems confused before the lights die out and the beat of Lupe Fiasco's "JUMP" plays through the PA. Kris does not even have to turn around to know who is headed to the ring. Cameras catch his head drop as he shakes his head with a look of sheer frustration on his face. With each beat, gold lights flash from the top of the stage, bouncing around the arena before finally focusing on the area of the stage between the curtains.

Court: Ladies and Gentlemen, from the Underground and making his official introduction to Sin City Wrestling, Coby Quik!!!

Coby steps out onto the stage in black pants and an old Jet City shirt from the groups tag team run in SCW. Cheers fill the arena. The camera focuses in on Coby and catches a wide smile grow on his face as he starts to move down the ramp.

Simone: Court definitely did her homework. If there is anyone Kris trusts other than Mikah, it is Coby.

Adams: He may not have ever competed in Sin City but he's on the Underground roster and married to former Roulette Champion Chelsea Payne. Needless to say, the guy isn't exactly a stranger around here.

Coby gets to the end of the ramp and hops up on the apron of the ring. He steps through the ropes and into the ring without making eye contact with Kris. Instead he exchanges some words with Mikah that the microphones don't quite pick up before his music cuts off. Court holds out her microphone to Coby, who takes it without hesitation. Before he can raise it though, Kris cuts him off.

Kris: You're sure about this? This is what you want?

Court smiles, and Mikah seems surprised that Kris flipped from being completely opposed to the idea to consider allowing the two of them to join The Black Sheep. Coby nods with a shrug.

Mikah: You're considering this?

Kris brushes away the objection without a second thought.

Kris: Chelsea was one of us. All Coby ever had to do was ask. He was always in.

Kris turns to Court, and shakes his head. The Miracle was not usually one to give in, but there were always exceptions and Coby Quik was certainly one of them. Court had outplayed him this time.

Kris: You have one chance. We'll see if The Black Sheep can find a use for you.

With that "Black Sheep" by Metric blasts through the PA system and the four make their exit from the ring.

The scene cuts in on Holly Wood, who is in a fine mood tonight and the audience does cheer her presence. Once the camera is on her, she cuts right to the chase.

Holly Wood: Ladies and gentlemen, with me at this time is the Sin City Wrestling Bombshells Internet Champion... Myra Rivers!

The crowd cheers Myra's presence as she holds her championship over her shoulder. She's in a better mood than she's been in the last two weeks as the interview between them is about to begin.

Holly Wood: Last week, you found yourself in quite a tough situation against Maki! It was a show and a match that was more up her alley and considering the reputation that she has, you certainly weren't walking into a favorable situation. And yet, despite all of that and despite the pressure that had to be on you, you were able to come out on top and once again remain the Internet champion! That's three successful defenses now! Having said all that... where's your head at?

Myra: Well, I'll be the first to admit that my head's in a really good place now. You're not wrong. Maki is tough as is and I really didn't like the words she had to say about me at all because they showed me that she hadn't paid attention to anything that I had done as the Internet champion. I don't know if she was that desperate to get inside my head or if she was really that ignorant, but either way? I walked into my title defense against her already wanting to shut her up and prove her wrong and that's exactly what I did. I've had three defenses now against three very capable challengers and I'm definitely proud of the work that I've done as the Internet Champion!

Holly Wood: You're definitely closing in on the 100 day mark! How have you been able to live up to the pressure not just as the Internet champion with your three successful reigns, but also during your time in Sin City Wrestling as a whole?

Myra: During my Internet Championship reign, there were times I could've folded. I could've collapsed under pressure when I defended this title against Kate just three weeks after I won it. Knowing her mindset, she had every reason to be motivated to take this back from me, but I was able to pull through on that despite the challenge that she gave me. I could've folded when I defended against Sam Marlowe. I could've let my guard down because of the struggles that she's had for the better part of this year, but I stayed on my game and I got the job done at Violent Conduct. Last week... with all the pressure on me... not just to defend against Maki, but having to do everything it takes to not look too far ahead to High Stakes, I could've caved against the odds and against the pressure, but I didn't. I've shown not just what I'm capable of since I've been here, but I've also shown that I'm not someone that lets the pressure get to me too easily. I've had my moments, yes. But being able to keep myself grounded against the toughest competition I've ever faced has enabled me to wrestle the best that I ever have!

Holly Wood: At High Stakes, what you have to look forward to at this point is Seleana Zdunich. You've beaten her before. She's had a rough go of it lately with what Andrea did to her a few weeks back and with losing to Sam Marlowe last week. What's your take on all of this?

Myra: She's had her struggles, there's no denying that. She had a chance to build up momentum against Sam and she couldn't. Things have been harder for her since losing the Roulette Championship and for a lesser wrestler it may be easy to look at that and say that it's going to be 'easy' at High Stakes, but I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to make that mistake. No matter how much she's struggling and no matter how bleak things may be for her, that doesn't give me any rhyme or reason to just brush her off! Her name still carries weight around here! She's still Seleana Zdunich at the end of the day. I'm not going to treat her as the struggling former champion she's been. I'm going to treat her as the same woman that challenged for the world title last year at High Stakes and who was one of the most successful Roulette Champions we've had this year. I'm going to bring my best to the table as my career comes full circle here in a city that has meant so much to my career! My hope? I'm just hoping that Seleana is able to do the same...

Myra remains poised and confident as she walks by Holly, signaling an end to the interview as the scene fades to black.

In the ring, Jacob Summers can be seen checking the ropes.

Simone: Our next match is set to be and interesting match up for sure. A Pick your Poison match.

Justin Decent moves to the ring and climbing the ring stairs, he slides between the ropes and stands in the middle of the ring.

Adams: The first of two tonight... let's go to Justin Decent for the introductions.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...

The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.

Justin: From Tampa Florida, she is Roxi Johnson!

Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.

Justin: And making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!

Adams: The great SCW ring veteran, Mercedes Vargas will be stepping into the ring with another great ring veteran and fellow hall of famer Roxi Johnson.

Simone: Let's hope that Roxi is ready for this match up or Mercedes will take advantage for sure.

Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner.

Simone: Both women are ready for tonight and we are ready for the match too.

Adams: I would hope so, Jacob has just called for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Roxi and Mercedes move to the center of the ring where they begin to circle each other as Summers moves out of the way. Mercedes lunges at Johnson who catches her in a collar and elbow tie up that each tries to leverage to push their opponent into the corner. Mercedes manages to get under enough to push Roxi backwards towards the corner. Roxi lands back first in the corner and raises her arms as Mercedes pushes off enough to release the hold but levels Roxi with a hard right to the side of her head. Roxi staggers out of the corner as Mercedes follows her with a smirk. Grabbing the right arm of Roxi, Mercedes irish whips her across the ring but Roxi reverses and Vargas lands against the ropes to rebound into a dropkick from Johnson. Roxi kips up quickly as Vargas rolls to the ropes. Pulling herself up, Mercedes rubs across her lips with her arm to check for blood as Roxi makes her way towards Vargas. Mercedes is quickly between the ropes and waves Johnson away as she tells Jacob to back her off. Summers gets between the pair and warns Roxi off. Johnson back into the middle of the ring as Mercedes gets back into the ring.

Adams: Mercedes is slowing the action down Belinda and wrestling her type of match. Roxi will have to fight hard to stop that.

Roxi moves towards Mercedes who again ducks through the ropes. Summers gets between them again, this time motioning for Roxi to back away. As he does, Mercedes is quickly into the ring and then takes Johnson off her feet with a surprise clothesline from behind Summers. Jacob admonishes Mercedes who waves him off and then picks Roxi up by the hair. Whipping her into the ropes, Mercedes follows in rebounding seconds after Roxi to catch the back of her head and drops her with a bulldog to the mat. Quickly, Mercedes turns and catches Roxi by the arm before rolling over to catch her with a body scissors that has Roxi arching in pain and holding her hands out for the ropes. Mercedes taunts Roxi with a paint brush across her head as she tightens the hold. Roxi manages to turn enough to get Mercedes off balance and is able to break the hold enough to catch the legs of Vargas and flips to put her back first on the canvas. Mercedes is able to kick out and roll to her hands and knees. Roxi is on her knees as well but is quicker to her feet and then rushes the ropes to springboard off with a legdrop on the back of Vargas driving her into the mat. Johnson rolls her over and lifted one leg to roll up Mercedes into a pin. Kicking out, Mercedes rolls to the side and pulls herself up with the ropes. Roxi gets to her feet as well. Summers motions for both to continue the match. Mercedes shakes her head and waves Roxi away. Sliding through the ropes, Mercedes acts like she is going to leave the match. Summers begins a ten count as Roxi rolls out of the ring.

Simone: Looks like Mercedes is giving up. But Roxi isn't going to let her.

Roxi chases after Mercedes and catches her before she makes it backstage. With a handful of hair, she drags Mercedes back to the ring and tosses her inside. Vargas is quick to her feet as Roxi pulls herself up on the apron. Mercedes meets her at the ropes and then grabs her hair to pull her up on the ropes then flips her into the ring. Roxi lands hard on her back and tries hard to flip over and get to her hands and knees. Mercedes is quick to kick her in the midsection that has Roxi grabbing her midsection in pain. Mercedes reaches down and pulls Johnson upward from behind by the hair then setting her foot on the back of Roxi's head, she curbstomps Johnson into the mat again. Roxi covers her face in pain as Mercedes kicks her to her back then pins her. Roxi is too close to the ropes and manages to drape a foot over the bottom rope which Jacob sees and stops the pin count. Mercedes sees it and then angrily gets to her feet. Rushing across the ring, Vargas rebounds to hit a baseball slide on Johnson who is sent to the outside hard as she lands on the ringsteps then the floor.

Adams: Wow, Mercedes taking the fight to Roxi.

Simone: She better figure out how to put Roxi away.

Roxi is laying on the floor of the ringside breathing heavily as Mercedes slides out of the ring and then reaches down to pick up Roxi by her arm. Mercedes is playing to the crowd as Roxi staggers slightly before leaning on the apron. Mercedes watches as Jacob gets to four before she grabs the arm of Roxi and sends her into the steel ringpost that spins her around it. Roxi grabs the barricade as Mercedes stalks towards her. Swinging wildly, Roxi tries to fight Vargas off. Mercedes avoids the contact but catches the arm of Johnson and whips her into the ringpost once more. Roxi rests against it as Mercedes sneers then charges towards her with a clothesline that Roxi manages to duck. Mercedes' arm hits the steel hard causing her to cry out with pain as she cradles her arm to her chest. Roxi doesn't follow after her as she rolls into the ring to break up the count. Mercedes leans against the ring apron as she shakes out her arm. Roxi lays in the ring recovering as Jacob moves to count Mercedes out. At five, she rolls into the ring and pulls herself up with the ropes. Roxi moves towards her and catching her with an arm, she pulls her to a vertical position then springboards off the ropes to hit a hurricanrana on Vargas to the mat.

Simone: I told you that Mercedes needed to find a way to beat Roxi.

With Mercedes too close to the ropes, Roxi reaches down and pulls Vargas into the middle of the ring then rolls her up for a pin. Mercedes is able to kick out quickly which has Roxi slam her hands on the mat before fighting to her feet. Mercedes rolls to her stomach then reaches out for the ropes as Roxi rushes the ropes and hits a lionsault on the back of Mercedes who lands face first on the mat. Roxi pulls her up and into a suplex that she rolls through. Roxi gets to her feet and locks in a sharpshooter on Mercedes who screams in pain as she puts her hands on the canvas and pushes up to try and break the hold. Roxi sits back slightly which has Vargas drop to the mat and cover her head fighting her pain. Jacob checks on Vargas to see if she would be giving up and she shakes her head as one hand hovers over the mat before she grabs at her head in pain. Roxi levers her back further as Mercedes reaches out for the ropes, her hand then hovers once more over the canvas as Roxi tells Summers to check again. Jacob kneels in front of Mercedes and asks her again if she wants to submit. Mercedes shakes her head again no then manages to fight enough to crawl bare inches closer to the ropes and reaches out again for them. Her fingertips brush against it making the bottom rope vibrate but Roxi sees it and then pulls her to the middle of the ring and once more locks in the sharpshooter once more. Mercedes has no where to go and in desperation, she begins to tap. Summers motions for the bell as Roxi releases the hold and drops the legs of Vargas who curls up in a fetal position to recover.

Simone: Roxi has done it, she drank the poison and came out the winner tonight.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Roxi Johnson!

Roxi makes her way to the corner and slowly pulls herself up to celebrate with the fans as Mercedes is checked on by Summers as she slowly makes her way out of the ring. Summers helps her up the aisle as Roxi continues to celebrate in the ring.

Adams: Roxi Johnson wins tonight in a match that Amber Ryan might have thought she wouldn't.

Simone: This rivalry is just poison for both women. Something is bound to break...

Roxi drops to the mat and then rolls out of the ring as she moves up the aisle playing to the fans and stops at the top of the ramp to turn and once more raise her hands in victory.

The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to a live feed. We are able to see Christina Rose and she is clad in a "Christina Rose Is Suspended" t shirt. She cracks a wide grin as she is in the ballroom at the Golden Ring Casino. In the background we can see various children dressed up in Halloween costumes. Christina smiles as she waves to the camera as we can see Pussy Willow standing live in the arena.

Pussy: Hello Christina Rose and I just want to thank you for this time right now. I know it must be hard to be suspended and away from SCW.

Christina nods her head with a grin as she smiles at the camera.

Christina: Sorry Pussy just please give me a moment. I have things going on over here at the Golden Ring.

Christina turns her attention to the background as she screams out at the top of her lungs.

Christina: Let's make sure all of these kids get candy, and let's make sure everyone gets a big bag full of treats!

She smiles as she looks back at the camera.

Christina: Sorry about that. We actually have a huge event happening. I am hosting a huge harvest party. I know there are some families who don't quite celebrate Halloween so for the kids that don't we are having a special socially distant party for those children along with those in need. So it always feels good to give back to the community. You know I will admit that it does suck to be suspended but at least we can have a great time here with these children and their parents with a watch party!

Children: CHRISTINA SUCKS! ANDREA IS A MEANIE!!!! ROXI IS MY HERO!!!

Christina: So many different chants and you know what people are free to cheer for whoever they want too. I am personally just happy to be here. People can cheer for whoever they wish. As far as SCW is concerned I will admit it hurts me not being there but I am sorry for the way I lost my cool with the official, and even going as far to lose it on Andrea and Amber. It's something that shouldn't been done. If I could take it back I definitely would because I should have known better. Roxi Johnson told me two wrongs don't make a right and I should have listened. She isn't an enabler, she's a close friend, and I should have listened. However between this event and being of Mexican heritage with the Day of the Dead it's ok being off. GRC needs me a lot so I am happy to be here.

Pussy: It's really good to hear that you are giving back to the community and the casino but tonight your daughter has a huge match against Andrea Hernandez and how do you feel about it?!

Christina: I appreciate Brittany standing up for me. It makes me feel so honored to have such a lovely daughter but truthfully at the end of the day I can't wait to face Andrea. I know she hates me I know she wants to parade around talking down my friends like Roxi. Talking down my daughter, or my wife, but this needs to be about us. When we finally get into the ring we will lay it down and leave it there. Anyway I have people to tend to you take care Pussy and rest assure I will be watching from here.

Pussy: Take care Christina!

The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco following her brawl with Johanna Krieger sitting on a chair in the locker room that she had been taken too, the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship sits beside her with the plate facing the camera.

Simone: Jessie hasn't been allowed out of that room since her brawl with Johanna.

Adams: Meaning she missed what just happened with Roxi and Sin.

After a few moments there is a knock at the door and Jessie looks up.

Jessie: Unless it's Mark apologizing for punishing me for defending myself, I'm not interested.

Keira enters the room, but as she does, she slams the door hard, making it crack a bit, even shocking Jessie a bit.

Jessie: What? Did Caleb do another unfunny parody?

Jessie asks before it hits her.

Jessie: Sin got to Roxi, didn't she?

Keira slowly nods. She didn't want to say anything else at that moment, Jessie lets out a deep breath before she stands up.

Jessie: I should've been out there but because of my scrap with Johanna earlier, I can't leave this room unless I need a piss for the rest of the night! Not my fault she can't handle the truth.

Jessie grumbles the last part before running a hand down her face.

Jessie: So, what now? I couldn't do shit to Sin when she attacked me!

Keira: She knew. Somehow, Sin knew when to attack. This was all too perfect for her.

Keira clenches her fist in anger

Keira: She knew that I would be focusing on my title match and at the same time, trying to protect Roxi. She was waiting for a crack.

Jessie: Not to mention when I'm focussed on my upcoming title defence.

Jessie adds as she glances over at the Bombshell Roulette Championship.

Jessie: Look, I know you told me to stay out of the Sin situation when you visited me at the hospital, but I can't stay out of it now, if you need any back-up against Sin give me a shout, okay?

Keira: Thanks. I may need it as much as I can.

Keira goes and gives Jessie a hug, Jessie is caught by surprise by the gestor but returns it once the surprise wears off.

Keira: I have to go. Got to make sure Roxi made it safely to the hospital. But just keep calm. Make sure Johanna doesn't make you lose focus, ok?

Keira turns and begins to walk out, but she then says as she turns her head to the side to see Jessie

Keira: You're a good person and a great fighter. Never forget that.

Jessie blinks a couple of times before nodding.

Jessie: It's been a while since anyone outside of my family said something like that, back at the beginning of the year I thought I had burned every other bridge in SCW with that #JessieDeservesBetter bullshit.

Jessie responds before taking a deep breath.

Jessie: I've got a lot to think about, about how I've conducted myself since my one and only Internet Title Win and everything in between but tell Roxi I said hi.

Keira: I will. But remember what I said. Don't let her live in your head rent free. Focus and it will pay off.

Keira turns and walks out, the scene fading.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish!

The lights shut off as "United Divided" by Voodoo Johnson kicks in, as it builds different lights flash around the arena. As the song builds into the refrain and the guitars kick in a spotlight forms on the stage with Austin standing in the middle.

Justin: Making his way to the ring! From Manhattan, New York, weighing two hundred and sixty five pounds -- Austin James Mercer!

He makes his way down to the ring before moving around to the steps, he makes his way up and walks across the apron before stepping between the ropes, he stands in the center of the ring as the music shuts off.

Simone: Austin! The man set to challenge Jack Washington in a mere three weeks for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Adams: Even better; at the biggest event of the year! High Stakes X!

Justin: And his opponent...!

The eerie harmonies of the Devils Waltz courses its path from the sound system and across the spines of those in attendance. Curious onlookers turn their gaze toward the stage as the lights that illuminate the stage, ramp and ring fade from bright white to a disturbing red, and there, on the stage bathed in crimson, stands Kedron Williams, his flesh pale and his eyes almost as much so.

Justin: From Salem, Massachusetts, weighing one hundred and seventy nine pounds, he is Kedron Williams!

There is little reaction from the crowd, neither positive nor negative, as Kedron walks down toward the ring with a purpose; the lights above him beating on and off as if in tune with the beating of a heart. Each time the lights flicker off, once they resume, Kedron is further down the aisle and that much closer to the ring. Once he arrives at ringside, he stares into the ring (and at his opponent) and smiles, before the lights go completely dark. A mere moment later, they turn back on and Kedron is inside of the ring, sitting cross-legged in the center of the ring.

Adams: Austin looks like he's not sure what to make of Kedron.

Simone: Few competitors do know what to make of the 'Son of Salem.' And in three weeks, we'll find out if Mac Bane can figure out this enigma of a man enough to capture the Roulette title from him.

"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans.

Simone: What is going on?

Adams: Uh oh! Look who it is!

As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He walks around toward the broadcasters booth, his eyes never leaving Austin's.

Adams: Are we going to be joined by the Champ??

But jack grabs a vacant chair, and rather than join the broadcasters, he pulls the chair around the ringside area and has a seat at the entrance.

Simone: Looks like the World Champion wants a front row seat to see his next challenger up close.

Adams: I feel so rejected.

Austin is standing against the ropes, staring out at the champion who just smirks as the bell rings...

DING DING DING!

And Kedron immediately attacks Austin from behind, attacking the man with clubbing forearm shots to the back!

Simone: Kedron isn't a man to shy away from taking a short cut or two.

Adams: Yeah but how well is that going to work against Austin?

Austin turns around and Kedron lands a right to the side of the head, and an open palm strike to the throat! He continues to fire shots off when Austin blocks one all of a sudden and he then delivers a head butt right between Kedron's eyes that knocks the Roulette champion flat on his back!

Simone: Not very, as it would seem.

Austin's size advantage comes into play again as he drags Williams back to his feet and powers him back into the corner, Kedron's head whipping back against the turnbuckle! Mercer moves in but Kedron ducks through the ropes to escape his larger opponent.

Simone: Looks like the 'Son of Salem' is playing a few mind games.

As Kedron tells Jasmine to back Austin off, Austin comes up from behind and grabs a handful of his hair and lays in a clubbing forearm across the bridge of his nose. A sudden flurry of blows and a big boot to the backside sends Kedron the rest of the way through the ropes and to the outside of the ring!

Adams: Yeah I think Kedron's tactics at the start of this fired Austin up!

Simone: And I dare say Austin is probably putting on a show for the champion. Jack Washington has not taken his eyes off of Austin once!

Kedron then rolls back inside of the ring, under the bottom rope to break the count, then quickly rolls back outside but Austin is not having any of it as he darts out thru the ropes and to the floor. Kedron quickly slides back inside, Kedron waits as Austin slides in as well and he drops a big elbow into the back of his neck!

Simone: We've seen that trick played out how many times? You'd think someone would stop falling for it.

Adams: Especially someone as experienced as Austin.

Kedron drops another elbow down into Austin's back and starts stomping down onto him. He grabs his larger foe by the arm and Irish whips him into the ropes and jumps for a cross body press but Austin catches him in mid-flight ...

Adams: UH OH!

And turns it into a power slam!

ONE!

TWO!

Kedron kicks out!

Austin whips him into the corner and plows right into him with a running clothesline! Kedron staggers out of the corner and Austin scoops him up from behind and drops him in a back suplex and covers him for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Again Kedron kicks out!

Before Austin can grab him to follow up on his strategy, the cagey warlock again rolls outside of the ring to break the momentum.

Adams: Look how pissed Austin keeps getting. Kedron is driving the man crazy!

Kedron leans back against the ring apron to catch his breath but Austin is right there and leans over, grabbing Williams by the hair and dragging him first up onto the apron, then THROWS him back inside the hard way with a biel toss! He Irish whips Kedron into the corner and runs in, intending for a big boot, but Kedron quickly moves and Austin strikes the hard turnbuckle with his knee!

Simone: Oh that could be a major turning point here.

And indeed it is as Kedron goes to work on the knee, kicking away at it until Austin finally falls to the mat, clutching his hurt limb. Kedron pulls Austin over toward the ropes and drapes the leg over the bottom rope and uses the bounce of the rope to leap up, driving his full body weight down into the hurt knee of his opponent.

Simone: Kedron is now like a shark that smells blood in the water!

Kedron then rolls to the outside of the ring, dragging Austin by the knee along with him, and proceeds to slam his leg down over the apron twice. Kedron then pulls him even closer to the corner and wraps his knee into the hard steel of the ring post!

Adams: Bloody hell! Is he trying to win the match or injure this guy!?

Simone: Where Kedron is concerned, I think one is as good as the other!

Kedron, taking note of the pain etched on Austin's face, takes his legs and wraps his injured leg around the post and in his own, trapping him in a Hanging Figure 4! Austin thrashes wildly from the horrid pain as Jasmine jumps out of the ring and tries to get Kedron to release the hold but Mr. Williams refuses to do so!

Adams: I bet Jack Washington is just LOVING this!

Jasmine immediately starts her count towards the disqualification...!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!...

And that is enough to get Kedron to let go of the hold! Turning his attention back to Austin, Kedron climbs back into the ring and drops an elbow into the leg before grabbing him and turning him over into a single-leg crab, working the knee over. Austin yells out in pain but elevates some of the pressure of the hold by propping himself up on his arms and pure leg strength allows Austin to power the champion off and throw him forward , face first to the canvas!

Simone: Austin clearly needs some breathing room now that his leg has been assaulted the way it has.

Jasmine checks on Austin as he valiantly gets to his feet where and Kedron chops him hard across the chest but Austin responds with a European uppercut that knocks him flat on his back! Austin grabs him and drags him to his feet, wrapping his arms around his waist from behind. He sets Kedron up for a release German suplex but Kedron lands on his feet behind him and hits a low dropkick to the back of the knees, toppling him to the canvas! Austin is on all fours, grimacing in pain and not seeing his opponent now racing off of the ropes and he collides into him with a shining wizard knee strike to the skull! The blow knocks Mercer over onto his back and Kedron goes for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Austin THROWS Kedron off!

Adams: Now THAT was a kick out!

Kedron stares, stunned at such a power display! He quickly pounces on Mercer, wrapping both hands around his throat, choking him against Jasmine's count!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!...

Kedron breaks, then drags Austin to his feet!

Simone: I don't know how smart a move it is to bring a larger man back to an upright position like this?

Kedron sends Austin into the ropes but Austin comes back with a running leaping shoulder block that sends the champion crashing back head over heels and almost the ENTIRE way out of the ring!

Adams: As luck would have it, not a very smart one!

Kedron uses the ropes to pull himself up, just as Austin returns to his feet, on one bad leg. Kedron snarls and charges -- and Austin heaves him straight up into the air and simply drops him face first! Austin grabs him by the arm and drags him to his feet and right into a short-arm clothesline! Austin holds on, pulls him back up and this time Ode To Lisa ripcord lariat! Austin with the cover, folding him in half!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Kick out by Kedron!

Simone: BOTH of these men have fight in them!

Adams: And neither wants to lose this close to High Stakes X!

Austin peels the limp body of his opponent off of the mat and sends him into the ropes! he intends a big boot but Kedron ducks under and comes off the far side, and right into...!

Adams: Mercenary Kick!

Austin is about to go for the cover when Jack Washington springs from his chair and is standing at ringside!

Simone: What does he think he's doing!?

A brutal verbal battle ignites between champion and future challenger! Jack takes a swipe at his boot but Austin dodges and he STOMPS on Jack's fingers!

Adams: Atta boy!

Simone: That's what he gets!

Jack staggers away, clutching his hand and shouting expletives as Austin smiles against the ropes.

Adams: Look OUT!

Austin turns just as a recovered Kedron leaps at him and Austin catches him and powers him up over his head with a military press -- but Kedron gouges his eyes with his fingers! Austin yells out and loses his grip! Kedron slides down his back and rolls him up -- WITH A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

The crowd boos as Kedron quickly rolls out of the ring!

Justin: Here is your winner -- KEDRON WILLIAMS!

More boos as a surprised and angry Austin sits there, holding his arms out at the official but Jasmine could only call what she saw!

Adams: Kedron wins and sends Austin into High Stakes X with a loss going against him!

Simone: Let's be honest; Kedron got a big assist from Jack Washington for distracting Austin James Mercer!

The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to a shot from a beautiful home in San Diego, California. It is there where the cameras show us Kate Steele-Warren and her husband Teddy Warren. Teddy smiles as the Internet Championship is draped across his lap, and it seems that he is playing video games with their 11 year old daughter Juliet Warren. Teddy and Juliet seem to have a good time with one another as Kate cracks a wicked grin speaking.

Kate: Cheers to everyone watching wherever you might be. My name is Kate Steele and my husband is sitting next to me. I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that I absolutely despise Evie Jordan. Tonight she will be fighting Courtney Pierce and on behalf of the Jet City South I honestly hope she beats the bloody snot out of Evie. I respect Evie but just don't like her and come High Stakes I know it's all going to be laid on the table.

Kate takes a breath as she continues to speak.

Kate: Now after the shit that Evie tried to pull with trying to burn me with that hot liquid my girls did everything in their power to beat the hell out of the Aussie. It was marvelous watching it last week. I enjoyed watching the Gem Stones really give Evie the business. As you can see I am at home with my family and I am not there this week but the message is still the same. Come High Stakes I am going to leave Evie bruised and bloody. I have dreams of one day becoming the SCW World Bombshell Champion and I know if I am able to get past Evie that would look good in my quest to eventually get what I want to get.

Kate claps her hands excitedly

Kate: 2021 will be the year of Kath-Lyn Elizabeth Steele-Warren and on everything inside of me I plan on building myself up so I can get where I need to go. Evie we have been at war with one another for quite some time and it's all or nothing. I need to beat you. I have to beat you and I will not stop until I finally do. Before it was about the Internet title, Blast From The Past or even title contention but now it's personal. I will beat you and when I do beat you I am personally leaving you behind.

Kate smiles and that's when Teddy looks into the camera.

Teddy: My life loves to blabber on quite a bit but what I am excited about is finally being able to fight J2H... He really thinks he is hot shit. He thinks taking me out is finally going to bring him the satisfaction but let me explain something he can get by being one massive dick. I know I have the championship and as such the title will be on the line but for weeks he has been talking shit that after he beats me he will give the title to Caleb Storms.

Teddy looks at the championship before he looks back at the camera.

Teddy: Why don't we put that in writing let's make that the stipulation. If J2H beats me the Internet Championship becomes property of Caleb Storms. That would be the ultimate embarrassment to everything that I have been building myself up for. I have improved greatly this year and for what I have worked so hard for to be taken away by someone like Caleb would devastate me.

Teddy nods his head speaking some more.

Teddy: But I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. So let's make that the stipulation. J2H you might be looking for a fight but rest assured you will be getting a war. At High Stakes it's all or nothing and I will beat you James. I swear on my daughter Juliet, on my baby sister Dawn, on my wife Kath-Lyn that I will beat you. I have to beat you. I HAVE TO OVERCOME YOUR HUDLE AND I WILL!

Teddy looks into the camera holding the title into the air we leave on this image.

The camera opens backstage upon Seleana Zdunich sitting on a metal folding chair in a hallway staring at the floor.

Seleana Zdunich: High Stakes...

She looks at the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: I come in after a difficult stretch in my career to challenge Myra Rivers for the Bombshells Internet Championship, the one singles championship in SCW that I have not held.

A small, almost sad smile comes across Seleana's face.

Seleana Zdunich: It will be a wonderful contest, the kind of test you hope for in this sport between two proven fighters but I hope she will excuse me if I'm keen for something else tonight.

She nods knowingly, her expression hardening, the smile fading away as quickly as it had arrived.

Seleana Zdunich: Tonight, my step-daughter takes on Andrea Hernandez inside of a steel cage and after what Andrea has done in turning herself into exactly what she accused me of being, I'm so keen to see Brittany live up to who she should be tonight that I cannot even stand the waiting!

Standing up, Seleana glares into the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: Andrea, you have made yourself into all the horrible things you say my wife is! You have made yourself an entitled brat and you will receive your discipline for it. I started it, Brittany will continue and then Christina will take what is hers. I have not forgotten what you attempted to do to both of us and I will be interested in my own pound eventually as well.

Her glare intensifies.

Seleana Zdunich: Hungern stiger och lejoninnan kommer att äta. Välkommen till djungeln, du önskar att du aldrig hade upptäckt denna plats!

The lights in the arena die down as the opening riffs of Gothic Celtic Music Shadow Wisps starts to play. The lights stay out for several seconds before dark green and white strobe lights start shining all around, and fog fills the entrance and along the ramp. Moments later , O'Malley steps through the curtain wearing a long black leather trench coat, joined by Darcy. They stand at the entrance for several moments before they walk hand in hand towards the ring.

Simone: Well, I wasn't expecting these two to be here. O'Malley isn't booked tonight, and he's been relatively quiet on Twitter since losing the Roulette Championship two weeks ago.

Adams: Last time he lost a title, he stepped away from SCU! Maybe he's doing the same?!

Simone: I very much doubt that.

Once to the ring, O'Malley allows Darcy to walk up the steel steps first, then follows behind her, and holds the ropes open for her. She heads over and is handed a microphone before heading back to join O'Malley in the center of the ring, and handing him the microphone. His music dies down and Darcy watches him proudly as he raises the microphone to speak.

O'Malley: I'll try and make this quick, because I know we got a show to continue, but I asked fer a few moments to come out here and say a few things. I know none of ye give a rat's arse about what I have to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway.

Errant booing follows to which O'Malley laughs and Darcy just rolls her eyes. He shrugs before he continues.

O'Malley: Now just a few weeks ago, I was all set and prepared to get ready for me match against Mac Bane at High Stakes. I made a pretty clear statement after he won that opportunity, and he didn't even have the balls to say anything in the week afterwards, but I guess that doesn't matter now that Kedron went and won the Roulette Championship back two weeks ago. So that leaves me plans for High Stakes a bit...unknown.

He shrugs again and takes a few moments to think.

O'Malley: The show is pretty much set in stone from what I understand, but I haven't heard a thing about what they're doin' with me. A part of me wishes I could finally get me hands on Kris Ryans in a show as big as High Stakes, but he seems pretty content on goin' up against those delusional losers, the Barnhardts, so that's out of the question.

O'Malley cracks a grin and laughs, and even Darcy chuckles. Almost as if he was backstage waiting to hear his name, the lights in the arena shut off and Chiddy Bang's "Mind Your Manners" starts to blast through the arena PA system, wiping the smile off of O'Malley's face. Out onto the stage comes one half of the SCW Mixed Tag Team Champions, Kristopher Ryans, although he isn't dressed to compete. His championship belt hangs over his shoulder, obscuring half of the Black Sheep logo on the front of his shirt. He motions for his music to be cut off before even making his way down the aisle.

Kris: You know, I should thank you. It's been a minute since I have gotten to hear my own music played instead of The Black Sheep's. It was a good reminder. On the other hand, I'm gonna need you to stop saying my name so much.

The fans erupt with applause as he makes his way down the ramp. As he gets down to the bottom of the ramp, he takes his championship belt off of his shoulder and leaps up to the apron with it in his hand. After stepping through the ropes, he holds it up in O'Malley's face with a grin on his face.

Kris: It's nice isn't it. Didn't you have a couple of these up until recently?

O'Malley's eyes focus on the belt for a moment, then very slowly move to glare at Kris.

O'Malley: Ye mean tag team titles?

O'Malley shakes his head.

O'Malley: Nope. I had singles gold, fella. The type of title I'm more interested in at the moment instead of havin' to rely on yer partner. But, nice try.

Kris shrugs, placing the championship belt back onto his shoulder without the smugness fading from his face.

Kris: Singles. Tag. It doesn't matter. It seems like whenever I am around I am holding something shiny, breaking some record, and beating you. Some things just never change.

With a laugh, Kris takes it a step further.

Kris: Like you out here saying my name. It's all I ever hear come out of your mouth. If you want to talk to me so badly, I'm not hard to find. I don't even have a match tonight and this is my second time having to come out here.

O'Malley lets out an annoyed laugh, and Darcy is glaring daggers at Kris at this point, but she remains silent as O'Malley handles the situation.

O'Malley: Why would I want to talk to ye, Kris? Let alone have ye standin' here doin' what ye do best...bein' an annoyin' little pissant just because it's what ye like to do? So this is yer second time comin' out here? But the thing is, ye don't have to do shite, fella. Ye came out here, interruptin' the time I was given to make it all about ye because I mentioned yer name. Ye ain't as special as ye make yerself out to be, Krissy Boy.

Kris shakes his head with a laugh which neither of the two individuals in the ring with him seem to understand.

Kris: That's where you're wrong. I didn't come out here to make it about me. I didn't even come out here to talk. I came out because I realized that I forgot that I owed you one...

Kris tosses his microphone at O'Malley, and as he moves to grab it out of the air the Mixed Tag Team Champion takes the belt from his shoulder and clocks his adversary with it, putting him flat on the mat.

Simone: He used that microphone as a misdirection and laid O'Malley out!

Adams: Well, turnabout is fair play. At least Kris attacked him head on.

O'Malley has the presence of mind to roll towards Darcy on the mat who steps up to Kris fearlessly. The Miracle doesn't have to waste much time on her though as Court hops the barricade at ringside and rolls into the ring to separate the two. Without laying a hand on Darcy, Court takes a step towards her to effectively cut her off from Kris. O'Malley has intelligently rolled out of the ring to regroup, but with Darcy neutralized Kris is quick to follow him to the outside.

Simone: Allowing Courtney Pierce to join The Black Sheep looks like it is already paying off for Kris.

Adams: Well he did say he would probably be able to find some use for her.

Kris charges towards O'Malley raising a knee to the side of his head, but at the last possible moment O'Malley spins out of the way, causing Kris to collide with the ringside stairs. O'Malley grabs a chair from the timekeeper's table and hastily swings it Kris' direction while he is immobilized.

Simone: This could be bad for Kris!

The Miracle ducks and rolls forward, causing the chair to contact only the ring post. Kris is back on his feet in a flash and sends a closed left handed shot to O'Malley jaw that earns him back one of his own. The two break down into a ringside brawl as members of security start to sprint down the ramp to get them separated.

Adams: Here comes the cavalry!

Court tries to move towards the ropes, but now it is Darcy cutting her off from the action. She doesn't start a fight, knowing better of it. Instead Darcy simply tries to stay in front of the woman who will take on Evie later tonight. It takes several crew members to get the two separate, with the mob of staff members forcing both Kris and Court to retreat up the ramp as cameras cut away.

Adams: Pick your poison, folks! Err...I mean, it's time for the next one!

Simone: What my special co-commentator was trying to say is that it's time for the next Pick Your Poison match that sees Candy going one-on-one against the volatile Amber Ryan.

Adams: I'm scared for Candy's life...

Simone: Don't be silly! There won't be any axe wielding in this one! At least...I hope not..

Justin: Ladies and gentleman the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a Bombshell "Pick Your Poison" match up!

The lights dim as pink fog starts to take over the entrance ramp. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard begins to play over the speakers as the lights brighten up.

Justin: Introducing first! Weighing in at one hundred twenty-five pounds! From Malibu Beach, California! CANDY!!

Pink pyro begins to cascade down from the tron as Candy comes bouncing out holding Fluffy. She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before getting in the ring and bouncing around some more.

Adams: I wonder if she finished all of her Halloween candy yet!

Simone: Judging by her energy, I'd say yes...

Justin: And her opponent...

Pulsing, red lights rolls over the crowd like a tide to the opening echoing chords of 'Roots' by In This Moment. Maria Brink's vocals seem to summon a familiar response from those who know what to expect. Those who don't, well they seem to follow the lead.

Most cheer in anticipation, but there are few who still jeer due to affiliations or just the fickle nature of a wrestling crowd on any given night. Atop the ramp, the lithe silhouette of the Distorted Angel seems to have materialised, soaking up the crowds reaction and energy.

Simone: Love her or hate her, you can't deny that Amber Ryan is one terrifying opponent in the Bombshell division.

Adams: Not according to Roxi Johnson!

Justin: Weighing in at one hundred thirty-two pounds! From Atlantic City, New Jersey! She is...AMBER RYAN!!

Fans reach out for acknowledgement and wave signs in the same way that others lean out over the rail as much as they dare to yell expletives and empty threats- some get a perceptive nod, a sly wink or perhaps even a kiss blown in sarcasm towards the most derisive. Fluidly, Amber circles the ring- beelining for a camera person before trying to mess with them or talking some shit down into the camera lens.

Slipping under the rope, Amber doesn't call for fanfare nor adulation, just making her way to the closest turnbuckle so that she might leisurely perch herself on the top with hands clasped and elbows resting on her knees in rather non-plussed outside of the trademark sly smirk seemingly ever-present on her features.

Simone: Amber is focused directly on Candy at the moment and you can just see the confidence oozing from her.

Adams: And Candy is just standing still, staring her down!!

Amber drops down from the top turnbuckle as her music dies down and the fans wait for the match to begin. Drew looks back and forth between both women before finally calling for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Amber and Candy circle around the ring after the bell rings, and Amber looking every bit the intimidating opponent she is meant to be. Confident. Slightly arrogant. But more importantly, dangerous and just ready to break Candy down. Candy eventually stops, folds her arms in almost a pouting manner and just...sticks her tongue out at Amber?! Amber raises an eyebrow and lets out a confused laugh.

Simone: What is Candy doing? This isn't a game!

Adams: No, but I think that was a sign that she's not intimidated by her! I mean, why would she be when she went against Sin, right?!

Amber walks closer to Candy, who doesn't move an inch. She stops just inches away from Candy, holding her arms out as if giving Candy free reign to take the first shot! Candy looks around, as if sensing it's a trap, but Amber continues to goad her into it. The crowd grows restless and starts getting louder, waiting for one of them to do anything. But it doesn't happen. At least not until Candy's dog Fluffy lets out a bark from outside the ring and in the stagehands arms! Candy momentarily looks in Fluffy's direction and when Amber goes to strike, she sees this from the corner of her eye and she ducks! She moves at lightning speed as she spins around and jumps on to Amber's back, wrapping her arms around her opponents neck!

Adams: Yes! Go Candy! Go!

Simone: Not sure that was a wise move, but interesting none-the-less.

Candy fights with everything she's got as she tries to put Amber to sleep! But Amber has a sick smile on her face as she stumbles forward and grabs a hold of the ropes! Drew immediately warns Candy to break the hold and just when she is about to obey and jump down off of Amber's back, so as not to get herself disqualified, Amber reaches up, grabs her by the head and flips her over her AND the top rope! Candy's quick thinking and agility causes her to land on the ring apron with her back turned to Amber, but as she goes to turn around, Amber nails her with a vicious kick to the lower back and Candy flies forward, right off the edge of the ring!

Simone: And she's on the outside!

Adams: That wasn't very nice of Amber!

Simone: Umm...it wasn't supposed to be!

Candy struggles for a moment to get back on her feet and when she does, Amber runs across the ring against the ropes then charges back across right towards her! She baseball slides under the bottom rope attempting to knock Candy right back down, but Candy leaps into the air and Amber misses her! Amber lands on her feet and Candy quickly slides back into the ring and away from Amber, but Amber is hot on her trail and follows behind her! Candy catches her off guard with a stomp to the head when she slides into the ring, and that is enough to give Candy the temporary advantage she needs!

Simone: Quick thinking by Candy there, but she has to do more if she plans to finish Amber!

Candy reaches down and pulls Amber back to her feet by her long red locks and sets her up for a running bulldog! But Amber gets her hands up and shoves Candy away, growing frustrated at the fight Candy has in her! Amber charges forward, wrapping her arms around Candy's waist and going for a suplex variation but Candy fights and grabs at Amber's hands trying to unclasp them! When that doesn't work she gets her right elbow back and nails Amber in the side of the head and the redhead stumbles back against the ropes! Candy spins around and charges at Amber, only to be met with a nasty Yakuza kick from out of nowhere! Candy collapses and Amber immediately goes for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Candy kicks out!

Adams: Close but no cigar, Amber!

Simone: And kudos to Candy in saving her behind, and the match!

Amber pulls Candy up so she's sitting up, and the normally bubbly opponent is shaking away the stars she's seeing from that Yakuza kick! Amber stays on her knees and delivers a series of hard rights and lefts, trying to further wear Candy down, but eventually Candy gets her arms up to block them and protect herself! Amber grows frustrated and jumps back to her feet as Candy tries to get some space between them!

Simone: Candy is crawling away! She needs to otherwise she doesn't stand much of a chance!

Adams: Hey! Don't count her out yet!

Simone: I'm not...

Amber quickly grabs Candy's ankle and Candy jumps up onto one foot! She's hopping around as Amber has hold of her ankle and pulls her farther away from the ropes! Candy hops for a moment until in a latch ditch effort she goes to hit Amber with one legged spinning kick! Amber releases her ankle and ducks but when she stands back up, Candy hits her with a standing drop kick! Amber stumbles back against the opposite set of ropes!

Adams: That's what I'm talking about!!

Simone: Don't get too excited, Jason. Anything can happen and this match has been very back and forth already.

Candy has to move quick if she wants to stand a chance! She rushes at Amber just as quickly as Amber hits the ropes, then clotheslines her over the top rope! Amber crashes to the outside and Candy quickly climbs up to one of the top turnbuckles and waits for her moment! The crowd is going wild as Amber gets back to her feet and when she spins around, Candy leaps off the turnbuckle, right at her! She delivers a beautiful hurricanrana that sends Amber flying against the barricades, and risks Candy's own safety!

Simone: Candy went flying! That was a risky move indeed!

Adams: But it paid off! Amber is still down!

Simone: Yes, but so is Candy right now.

Both women are down, but it's Candy who is back on her feet first and she heads over to Amber. Fluffy is once again barking trying to get Candy's attention and Candy turns around to "Shhh" her furry companion, to which Fluffy immediately goes silent! Candy turns back around and gets back to work as Amber is pulling herself back to her feet, holding her neck! Candy rushes at her and grabs her by the hair and goes to fling her back into the ring, but Amber gets her foot up and blocks it! Meanwhile, Drew is giving them one last warning to get back into the ring, but it's falling on deaf ears!

Adams: Don't get yourself counted out, Candy!

Simone: It very well may happen if they don't pay attention to Drew.

Amber hits Candy with an elbow to the side of the head, much in the same manner Candy had done earlier, then steps forward. Candy shakes it off but Amber takes her by the head and quickly spins her around then sends her flying into the steel steps! The echo the crash makes causes the crowd to let out an audible "oooh" as Drew officially starts his count!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: And that one hurt. I almost heard her back cracking with that.

Adams: What does Amber have against Candy?!

Simone: She's friends with Roxi? Motive enough there...

Amber heads over to Candy who is now hurting from the collision with the steel steps! She's holding the back of her head, and her back as well, as Amber adds insult to injury and kicks her when she's down, literally! Candy slumps down further and Candy reaches down, pulling her up to her feet and shoving her forward so her back cracks against the side of the ring! This further agitates her already sore back!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Adams: Fight, Candy! Fight!

Simone: I think she's trying!

Amber slides in under the bottom rope, breaking the count for her, but the count continues for Candy! At least, until Amber leans through the second rope, grabs a handful of Candy's hair and uses it to pull Candy up to the ring apron! Candy screams as she fights, but Amber is enjoying every second of this!

Simone: Jesus! I'm surprised Candy doesn't have a bald spot after that! Ouch!

Amber spins Candy around and sets her up to suplex her over the top rope but in a last ditch effort, Candy hits Amber with closed fists to the midsection then shoves her away! She uses the rope to launch herself up and over the top rope and then takes Amber down in a quick and mighty spear, pinning her shoulders to the mat!

Adams: This could be it!

ONE!

TWO!

Amber kicks out!

Simone: Not quite...

Fighting through the pain, Candy kips up back to her feet and Amber is back on her feet just as quickly! Candy tries to fight with everything she's got throwing shot after shot and trying to get Amber in a vulnerable position, but Amber grabs the back of Candy's head then gets her right knee up in a hard knee strike to the midsection, then elbows Candy in the back of her head! She wastes no time in setting Candy up for her double underhook ddt finisher, before nailing it and finishing Candy off!

Simone: Original Sin!

Adams: Poor Candy! She tried with all she had!

Amber rolls her over and makes the cover as Drew drops down!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner...AMBER RYAN!!

Drew holds Amber's hand up as her music hits. That smug expression returns to her face as she looks down to a defeated Candy and yanks her hand away from Drew. Amber rolls out of the ring, looking for something. Candy is slowly getting back to her feet when Mercedes Vargas is seen walking towards the ring.

Adams: Uh oh.

Simone: Things may be about to get dire for Candy here.

Candy makes it back up and sees Vargas chuckling at her. Candy begins shouting at Vargas and motioning for her to come into the ring, but it is all a ploy as there is a sudden vile chair shot to Candy's back from Amber.

Adams: What a shot!

Simone: I don't like Candy's chances right now...

Vargas snickers and mocks Candy holding her back on the ground, before hand waving Candy away and turning to leave. Amber in the meantime wallops Candy again in the back and then unfolds the chair and places the chair over Candy, the underneath beam against Candy's throat, choking her. Amber also has the microphone sitting backwards in the chair to apply pressure.

Amber: Can't say I didn't warn you- heaven forbid ya'll just don't wanna listen. Oooh Roxi! Are you listening? You didn't think I forgot about you, did you? We are a long, long way from being finished. And since you wanted to bring friends into this fight... It looks like your dear friend is in a spot of bother. Two can play at this game, Roxi. So, I suggest you get out here and play hero.

There is a moment where nothing happens. Roxi doesn't come out right away so Amber leans on the chair further, choking Candy.

Amber: I guess you need to hear it from the horse's mouth...

Amber puts the microphone up to Candy's mouth.

Amber: Call her. Now.

Candy: R... *Cough* Roxi.... Help...

Candy doesn't even get those words all the way out before Roxi sprints down to the ring, drawing a smile from Amber. Roxi slides in and she and Amber begin exchanging punches, Roxi getting the better and clotheslining Amber out of the ring. Roxi knocks the chair off of Candy and starts to tend to her, when Mercedes Vargas again appears, annoyed at Roxi helping Candy out. Roxi sees this and kicks at the ropes to drive Mercedes away. Mercedes is now mocking Candy gasping for air. Again this serves as a distraction for Amber to slide back into the ring, put up the chair and smack Roxi across the back.

Simone: Oh no.

Adams: This is exactly what Amber wanted!

Amber repeatedly smashes the chair across Roxi's back until the seat of the chair is dented. She tosses the chair aside for the moment and stomps on Candy a few times to keep her down. She turns her attention back to Roxi and then pulls her up and delivers the Original Sin to Roxi. Roxi lays on the mat nearly motionless as Amber smirks, standing over her.

Amber: No more games, hero. At High Stakes, I'm going to end this once and for all. This is just a small taste of what I have planned for you.

Amber finally exits the ring, but not before picking the chair back up and smashing it into Roxi's left leg a few times, the seat back flying off as a result. Amber tosses the broken chair down as Roxi clutches at her leg and she leaves. Vargas nods in approval as Amber walks past her.

Mercedes: Not bad. Not bad at all. And you can call me the wicked witch.

Mercedes squats down besides Candy.

Mercedes: I'll get you my pretty...and your little dog, too.

Amber only nods slightly walking past Vargas, and soon Vargas follows her and the two disappear behind the curtain. Candy slowly makes her way over to Roxi to check on her.

Simone: What a statement made by Amber Ryan and Mercedes Vargas.

Adams: It's not often you see this kind of carnage and -

Adams is cut off as the lights go out.

Adams: Oh no...

There is a sinister roar and in the darkness the two glowing red eyes of Sin appear, and the lights come up just enough to see her standing in the ring.

Simone: IT'S SIN!

Candy sees Sin and slowly tries to get back to her feet to protect her friend.

Simone: Candy's not afraid!

Candy squares up to Sin, but then more of Sin's Army shows up and they pull Candy out of the ring!

Adams: The Sins! They're here too!

The Sin army restrain Candy, as Keira rushes to the ring, but she is intercepted by the remaining 3 Sin members. Keira begins battling them, but the lights go completely out again.

Adams: What is going on?!

There is a commotion in the darkness, and then we hear Sin's laughter.

Sin: My love...you have returned.

Lust: My beloved. Thank you, I've waited for this day...

Sin's laughter echoes in the arena as Sin stands with the form of Lust, a striking resemblance to Roxi herself.

Sin: The Seven sins... REUNITED! HAHAHAHAHA.

The lights go out again and when they return. It's only Candy and Keira on the outside and Roxi's crumpled form in the middle of the ring.

Simone: She... she got her...

Adams: This is bad... very bad.

Keira and Candy rush into the ring as Keira rolls Roxi's motionless body onto her back and tries to wake her up to no avail. Candy consoles Keira who is crying in anger and anguish. The EMT's and medical personnel hit the ring to tend to Roxi, but Keria won't let anyone near her.

Keira: GET AWAY!

Candy tries to calm Keira down and explain to her that the EMT's are here to help. Keira looks at Candy and they both pull Roxi from the ring and basically have to drag her to the back as the EMT's continue to try to intervene.

Backstage, Keira and Candy continue to hold up Roxi, until finally Candy stops.

Candy: Keira, we have to let them help!

Keira growls in anger at her friend.

Candy: Please.

Keira finally allows the EMT's to put Roxi on a stretcher while she squats down with tears in her eyes. From a distance, Amber actually looks concerned as Roxi is strapped to the stretcher. Amber comes closer but Keira begins marching angrily towards her.

Keira: YOU!

Candy tries as hard as possible to restrain Keira, who is lunging at Amber.

Keira: THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

Amber stares at Keira for a moment.

Amber: Look, I didn't do anything. It was your INACTIVITY that caused this. You think I wanted this to happen? You're a fool.

Keira: You don't get it, do you? You just handed Sin the keys to destroy everything I love!

Amber: Looks like you're going to have to do something about that. I just need reassurance that she's going to be okay for High Stakes.

Keira: SHUT UP!

Keira breaks away from Candy and nails Amber with a right hand. Amber staggers back and Candy once again gets a hold of Keira, allowing Amber to strike back and knock Keira down.

Amber: Don't EVER touch me, again.

Keira gets up and everybody stops as Roxi lets out a groan. Kiera, Amber & Candy all turn in that direction. Keira pushes everyone out of the way and as the ambulance arrives.

Keira: Let's go. Get her in the ambulance, now!

Keira opens the doors and Roxi is loaded into the ambulance and Keira jumps in.

Candy: Do you want me to go with you?

Keira: No. I... I got this. Thank you for... for everything Candy.

Candy gives a half-hearted smile as Keira closes the ambulance door once Roxi is loaded in. Candy walks away as the ambulance pulls off. Leaving Amber staring at them driving away.

Amber: You better make it, Hero.

The cameras go backstage to a live shot of Pussy Willows standing outside The Jordan's dressing room. She has a microphone in hand as she waits by the door, she reaches up to knock but before her knuckles hit wood they almost fly straight into Evie's chest.

Evie: You've got to be kidding me...

Evie's eyes roll as she looks down at Pussy who had quickly put her balled up fist away.

Pussy: How's that for perfect timing?

Evie: I'm not here because I wanted to speak with you, I have a match coming up...

Evie sides steps Pussy and starts to make her way towards the ring but Pussy is in hot pursuit.

Pussy: People want to know what you plan on doing with Kate? After you know, the gemstones attacked you last week?

Evie doesn't even look at Pussy but she fires off a response.

Evie: Oh don't worry yourself Pussy, Kate will pay... in fact, after my match tonight I might need to sit down with the powers to be in this place... you see I'm matchless for High Stakes and that simply won't do... and I know that I only just faced Kate and beat her... but there is nothing more I'd like to do than do it all over again. But firsts things first, I've got a hot date with a girl called Courtney.

Evie continued to walk away and Pussy was hot on her heels.

Pussy: Speaking of your match with Courtney... what happens if you lose tonight and she proves to the world that she is in fact the future of this company and you're well the past?

The Aussie stopped and turned back with the look of the devil was in her eyes as she just glared down towards Pussy Willows. No words were spoken. None at all before Evie quickly left the scene leaving Pussy answerless.

It has been a long night for Jessie Salco as we fade into her sitting alone in the locker room where she has been since her brawl with Johanna and her position as only slightly changed since Keira paid her a visit, the Roulette Title is now around her waist and the chair it was previously occupying is now being used by Jessie to put her feet up.

Jessie: Come on, when are they going to let me out already?! I've missed fuck knows how many matches!

Jessie grumbles before there is a loud knock at the door.

Jessie: Who is it?

The door opens slowly, but in a creepy way. As it does, no one is out there as demonic laughter is heard, Jessie quickly gets up and makes her way over to the door.

Jessie: This had better not be someone's idea of a bad joke..........

All of a sudden, Sloth appears to the side, getting close to Jessie and turns her around. She smiles wickedly, saying

Sloth: The Deadly Sins are whole again....your world is coming to an end....

Jessie frowns as she glares at Sloth.

Jessie: Oh yeah? Well here's a message for Sin!

Jessie says before throwing a hard punch at Sloth's face, Sloth blocks it easily and smiles. All of a sudden, someone from behind Jessie whispers

Sin: Received. Here's my reply...

Sin grabs Jessie and throws her head against the wall. She throws lefts and rights onto Jessie, beating her down. She then throws Jessie down on the ground. She leans down and takes the title off of her.

Sin: Ahh, your material possession. Something to make you feel like someone in this world. Keira wants that, to have that glory. I tried to help her, but humans like YOU have poisoned her.... when I am done with the world, this title will be meaningless!

Sin drops the title by Jessie before Sin and Sloth leave.

Jessie: Is that all you've got?! I've felt harder punches from little old ladies!

Sin goes back and picks the title back up. She easily rips off a side plate and smiles wickedly. She goes back and uses it, wailing on Jessie's head with it. As she is done, Jessie's head is busted open as Sin laughs.

Sin: Count down the days. Tell Keira that time is almost.... up

Sin and Sloth turn and leave, leaving Jessie in a heap as the scene fades.

Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...

The cameras whirl back around and focus on the top of stage before the lights cut off leaving the arena in darkness. The creepy and spine tickling sounds of an electric guitar come to life over the personal address system followed by a deep heavy drum beat. As "Anthem of the Year 2000" by SilverChair hits, the stage area dimly lights up glowing red. The lights continue to gradually get brighter to expose Evie Jordan standing in the middle of the runway with her back to the crowd.

Justin: Making her way to the ring from Victor Harbour, South Australia... Evieeee Jordan.

Evie turns around slowly and keeps her hoodie over her head before she makes her way down the ramp. She completely ignores the fans as her focus is on the ring in front of her. She slowly walks up the steal steps before stepping into the ring while the lighting gradually returns to normal. Evie walks around the ring pulling on the ropes getting ready for her match while her song slowly dies down to nothing.

Justin: and her opponent...

The giggle from the start of Kehlani's "Gangsta" floods the arena PA as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the first words of the song start, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T.

Justin: Making her way to the ring the 2018 Blast From The Past Tournament winner, Courtney Pierce!

As the beat of the song finally kicks in, the SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a huge pop from the crowd welcoming her. She stops at the top of the ramp, crosses her ankles, her purple ring gear shimmering with all of the camera flashes around the arena, and takes a slight bow to the crowd with her arms out to her sides. Court makes her way to ringside, and carefully makes her way up the ringside stairs and onto the apron. She ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and into the ring.

Pierce warms up as the ref moves to Jordan first and then to Pierce to check both for weapons before indicating for the match to begin.

DING DING DING!

Jordan moves forward and gets into the face of Pierce, but Pierce doesn't rise to it, as Jordan gives her a hard shove but Pierce responds back with a shove of her own, which Jordan responds back with shoving her hand in Pierce's face and pushing her away but Pierce merely responds back but this time she grabs Jordan around the legs and takes her down and begins to throw punches before grabbing a handful of hair and begins to bash her head against the mat before Jordan counters and she delivers her own punches to Pierce before climbing off her.

Simone: Jordan getting straight to business against Pierce, as she gets into her face, but Pierce isn't going to take it from Jordan and responds back with equal force and it just descends into a brawl.

Adams: Very messy start.

They both climb to their feet and lock up in the centre of the ring, where they jockey for position with neither really getting the upper hand, as Jordan pushes Pierce into her corner but the ref is quick to move in and break it up. Jordan backs away as she and Pierce trade words as Pierce moves from the corner, but Jordan is ready for her and spins around and throws a kick backwards, which connects to Pierce's stomach. Pierce drops to her knees as Jordan approaches Pierce and grabs her and tries for an inverted double underhook facebuster, but Pierce blocks it and she adjust her arms and drops to her knees and goes for a sliding pin...

Adams: Jordan and Pierce look for the upper hand, which Jordan comes close, but the ref breaks it up.

Simone: Jordan isn't too put off by the ref as they trade works before throwing a kick backwards catching Pierce. Jordan tries to capitalise on Pierce being down, but Pierce blocks the attempted facebuster and goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout...

Jordan kicks out, as Pierce adjusts her grip and she keeps Jordan back to back with her, they sit there for a moment before Jordan and Pierce in unison rise to their feet as they fight to free themselves and look to get the upper hand as they break free with Jordan breaking first before Pierce turns and grabs Jordan around the legs and sends her down to the mat, but Pierce keeps a hold on Jordan legs, where she then goes for a money flip but Jordan counters and grabs onto Pierce's legs and pins her...

Simone: Pierce gets a two count only, but she isn't about to give up and as she keep her arms wrapped around Jordan's arms and back to back.

Adams: They both get back to the feet and Pierce breaks the hold and turns and grabs Jordan legs sending her down to the mat and tries for a monkey flip but Jordan counters and drops down and goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Pierce kicks out as Jordan hops off her and they both make their way to their feet, where Jordan rushes in and hits a dropkick sending Pierce back down to the mat. Pierce holds her torso, as Jordan crawls over to her and goes for a pin...

Simone: Another two count, as Pierce kicks out. They both make their way to their feet and Jordan catches Pierce with a dropkick and attempts another pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout...

Pierce kicks out against, as Jordan climbs to her feet and moves to Pierce, where she grabs her and pulls her up to her feet, where she delivers a forearm shot to Pierce before picking her up and then proceeds to body slam her down to the mat. Jordan goes for another pin...

Adams: another kickout and Jordan grabs Pierce and hits a forearm shot and then a body slam and another pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout...

Jordan shakes her head, as she pulls Pierce up into a seated position before locking in a headlock, but Pierce isn't about to give up or allow Jordan time as she begins to fight and moves around and fights to her feet but Jordan keeps the headlock locked in and then takes Pierce back down to the mat. Pierce is quick to fight back, as she is slow and methodical about her escape as she grabs Jordan around the neck and begins to move and gets to a knee before continuing to think about her freedom as she gets to her knees but Jordan shifts and wraps a leg around Pierce's torso before rolling her backward onto the mat and wraps her legs fully around Pierce.

Simone: Pierce kicks out again... which I am surprised that Jordan keeps her cool and instead she pulls Pierce into a seated position and locks in a headlock.

Adams: Pierce is taking her time in how she can escape. She has a moment where she is to her knees, but Jordan just puts a stop to that and wraps her legs around Pierce.

The ref moves in and checks if Pierce wants to give up, but she doesn't, as Pierce grabs at Jordan's leg and pushes her leg off but Jordan just places back as Pierce maintain her fight and kicks her legs around as the ref continues to ask Pierce if she wants to give up. Pierce's response she manages to roll onto her side and then onto her knees as she pushes herself up to her feet, but Jordan responds by clubbing Pierce across her back and she drops to a knee. Jordan pulls Pierce back up to her feet before picking her up and looks for another body slam but Pierce wriggles free and drops down behind. Pierce follows up with forearm shot across the back of Jordan's head as Pierce grabs Jordan and spins her around and sets up and locks in a straight-Jacket Neckbreaker and hits it.

Adams: Again Pierce isn't allowing the headlock to beat her, as she stays in this match and fights to free herself.

Simone: She manages to get free, but Jordan tries for another body slam but Pierce wriggles free and catches Jordan with a shot to the back of Jordan's head before hitting a neckbreaker.

Pierce then goes for a cover of her own...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Pierce smirks as Jordan rolls away holding her head and neck as Pierce rubs her own neck before turning climbing to her feet, where she approaches Jordan and pulls her up into a seated position, where she then delivers a kick to the spine before moving back in and locks in a figure four headscissors.

Simone: Pierce comes close with her own pin before taking a moment and then she turns her attention back to Jordan and she locks in a headscissors.

Jordan grasps at Pierce's legs as Pierce squeezes just a little tighter, as the ref moves in and asks Jordan if she wants to give up, but she says no. Jordan kicks her legs about but Pierce she twists forcing Jordan to come face to face with the mat. Pierce then proceeds to drive Jordan's face into the mat a few times before rolling Jordan onto her back and then goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Jordan kicks out, as Pierce rolls away and back to her feet, where she turns and stomps on Jordan a few times before grabbing her and pulls her up to her feet, where she then whips her into the turnbuckle. Jordan hits the turnbuckle and as she stumbles out if the corner Pierce rushes in and leaps on the ropes and goes for a springboard crossbody, but Jordan dodges and Pierce hits the mat chest first before rolling away.

Adams: Jordan seems to be in a bit of trouble here, as Pierce drives Jordan's face into the mat before going for a pin... but Jordan kicks out.

Simone: However, Pierce doesn't dwell for too long and she stomps on Pierce before pulling her up and sends her into the turnbuckle. Pierce attempts to go high rise but Jordan dodges and Pierce lands on the mat chest first.

Jordan drops to a knee for a moment as Pierce rolls to the ropes and grabs the middle rope, Jordan the climbs to feet and moves to where Pierce is and grabs Pierce by the hair an pulls her up, Pierce shoves Jordan away but Jordan comes back at her and Pierce hits a high elbow and again Jordan stumbles away. Pierce then charges at Jordan but Jordan boots Pierce in the stomach, which stops her, and she grabs Pierce and hits a belly to belly suplex. Jordan climbs to her feet and once more grabs Pierce and hits a judo throw.

Simone: And now it's all Jordan, although Pierce tries to make a comeback but Jordan puts a stop to that and she drives her boot into Pierce's stomach before hitting a belly to belly and then a judo throw.

Jordan releases and climbs to her feet, where she grabs Pierce by the hair lifting her up before leaping up and hitting a double knee facebuster. Jordan grabs Pierce once more and drags her to the corner before backing up. Jordan rushes in and hits the Svetlana: Drive By Kick.

Jordan drops down for the pin...

Adams: Pierce is done. Jordan hits the Svetlana just to make sure Pierce doesn't kickout.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: Jordan picks up the win.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Evie Jordan.

Jordan's music hits over the p.a, as she climbs to her feet as the referee raises her arm in victory.

"It was supposed to be something...different. Something...new. I looked at the challenge and took it head on."

Screen comes alive with the high flying antics of Miles Kasey.

"Time to bite back."

The scene cuts backstage to Andrea Hernandez, whose mere presence causes the audience to boo her out of the building. Unlike last week, when she was more lighthearted and showing off some mock merchandise, Andrea is in a more serious and angry mood, most likely because of her match that is happening tonight. She's far from amused at this point as she begins to express her thoughts.

Andrea: I never wanted this. I hate every single bit of this...

Andrea purses her lips for a few seconds to display a little more disgust and anger.

Andrea: Where in the hell does Mark Ward get off on bringing Brittany Williams back for one night only and sticking her in a main event match against me? Christian Underwood even said no to this a bunch of times, but Ward decides to make this happen? Wow! I guess he's a real big fan of the never ending Rose/Zdunich family drama, right? Having this match in a steel cage doesn't make me feel that much better about it, but it is what it is. If this company wants me to destroy Brittany and cause that stupid family of hers even more pain than so be it! That's exactly what I am going to do. This is what you wanted, right, Brittany? To avenge your mother? You know... the same mother that you assaulted on Mother's Day at Climax Control 205 a couple of years back and that you subsequently called an 'evil woman'? Two years later, you come back and defend the 'evil woman'?

Justin: Currently in the ring!! Standing in at 5'2 and weighing in at 203 pounds!! Hailing from Los Angeles, California!!! Brittany Williams!!!!

"Waking the Demon" by Bullet for my Valentine hits the venue's soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong boos from the crowd. Andrea scoffs at the crowd and doesn't pay them any attention at all otherwise as she is completely focused on the task at hand. She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, ignoring the crowd even further as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.

Justin: And her opponent!! Standing in at......

Simone: Here We Go!! Ring the bell!!!!

Brittany can't wait for the announcement as she charges in on Andrea in the corner as the bell immediately rings.

DING DING DING!

The bell has quickly began after Brittany could not stop and contain herself by attacking Andrea, she has Andrea by the hair and whacks her face first into the top turnbuckles before grabbing her by the arm and whipping her into the steel wall of the cage.

Adams: Brittany isn't her usual jovial self!!!

Simone: Can you blame her Jason?? She has one thing in mind and avenge her mother

Andrea staggers backwards after being hit into the cage wall, walking into a Springboard Bulldog Headlock into the middle of the ring before having Brittany bash her face into the canvas repeatedly while screaming at her opponent.

Adams: Normally you would see Britt go for the cover, but she is really wanting to punish Andrea

Andrea places her hands on the canvas as that stops the assault on her face by Brittany, quickly follows it up with an elbow into the side of Brittany's ribs. This causes the onslaught of Brittany to stop as Andrea gets to her feet and kicks Brittany into the painful ribs as that causes her to roll around in the ring in pain. Andrea grabs her by the hair as Jasmine watches on and cannot do anything as Andrea drags Brittany to the corner of the ring and places Brittany face first upon the middle turnbuckles before jumping up the second rope and drives her knee into the back of Brittany. Causing her head to snap backwards as well as driving the air out of her body, she slowly gets up to her feet as she is admiring her handy work against Brittany who is crawling towards the ropes.

Adams: So quickly the tide has changed, Brittany was a head full of steam going into this match and now she is seemingly broken down.

Simone: True Jason, but don't count her out just yet!!!

Andrea bends between the top and middle rope and grabs the head of Brittany as she pushes her from underneath the bottom rope against the cage and starts to turn her face from left to right against the cage wall, while enjoying the loud screams of agony from her opponent. Finally she lets go off the head and wraps her hands around her chin after hooking the arms around her legs and pulls back on Brittany in a modified Camel Clutch while having Brittany stuck around the ring ropes screaming in agonizing pain while Andrea is taunting her to give up, that she is a loser like her mother.

Simone: I am certain that Brittany would never give up like that!!!!

Adams: Maybe, but she has to worry about her health and her career!!!

Brittany is desperately trying to somehow free herself from the grip that Andrea has on her, but the former Bombshell world champion is relentless as she pulls even harder on the chin. She holds on to the hold for a few more moments before finally letting go and dragging Brittany to the middle of the ring and goes for a nonchalant cover as she does not hook the legs

ONE!

TWO!

Brittany kicks out, causing Andrea to look over her shoulder towards Jasmine and asking whether she couldn't count any faster. After a few moments of arguing Andrea turns her attention back to Brittany as she grabs a handful of hair and pulls her back to her feet as Brittany is gasping for air. Andrea whips Brittany into the ropes and sets her up for a Back Body Drop, but Brittany leapfrogs over her and runs to the other side of the ring. She follows it up by exploding off the ropes with a Springboard forearm smash to the face of Andrea. This staggers her backwards as she gets tied up into the ropes due to the impact of the blow that Brittany used against her, causing the fans to cheer for her.

Adams: Now she needs to follow it up!!!!

Brittany inhales twice as she clutches her ribs for a few moments, staring at Andrea with rage in her eyes as she is attempting to free herself from the ropes.

Simone: Perhaps this is a moment for Brittany to get out of the cage and secure a victory!!!

Brittany looks over towards the cage door for a few moments before shaking her head, mumbling something to herself as she turns her attention back to Andrea. Not wanting to end the match this way and this early, she sets herself up to jump upon the middle rope meanwhile holding on to the cage wall. She is real close towards Andrea as she uses the cage wall and the middle rope to walk over towards Andrea and stand before her before jumping backwards while remaining her grip against the cage wall, causing her to pull herself back into Andrea as she drives both knees into the face of the former Bombshell champion as that impact sends the back of her head into the steel cage wall with a loud thud.

Crowd: Holy Shit!! Holy Shit!! Holy Shit!!!

Brittany has gotten to her feet as she grabs the now seemingly groggy face of Andrea and screams at her as Andrea finally has managed to free herself partially due to the help from the official. Brittany pulls her upper body away from the ropes as she stops while the feet of Andrea is stuck around the middle rope. Brittany has the head of Andrea hooked in a headlock seemingly preparing for something impactful. After looking around the ring for a few seconds she finalloy drops Andrea with a DDT off the ropes. She rolls Andrea over and goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE....

Brittany cannot believe it as Andrea somehow has managed to get her shoulder off the canvas at the final moment. Looking in shock before telling herself that this can't be happening, she decides that she needs to finish this one off right now as she looks over towards the ropes and looks back to Andrea. We can see her move her head between Andrea and the ropes a few times before finally turning her attention back to Andrea as we can see her lips move.

Adams: What did she say???

Simone: I don't know, but whatever it is she has to do it quickly as she is wasting a lot of valuable time!!

Brittany runs to the ropes and executes one of her patented moves.

Adams: Stay Down NOOB!!!!

Brittany executes the Lionsault, but Andrea has managed to roll out of the way at the final moment. Causing Brittany to crash down upon the canvas with authority. Andrea slowly gets to her feet and watches the painful expression upon the face of Brittany as she is clutching her ribs in agonizing pain. Andrea tells Jasmine to get out of the way as she is looking over at Brittany to see if she is okay. She tells everyone that this one is over as she is going to finish it. She runs to the ropes and executes one of her finishing moves.

Simone: Sedana Splash!!!!

Adams: GOOD GOD!! Brittany moved out of the way!!!!

Now it is Brittany that has got the move scouted as she somehow managed to roll out of the way from the seated Senton off the ropes. The blow has caused her to get temporarily numbed out as Brittany motions for the cage door to be opened while crawling over towards it. The look on her face is determined to get the win over Andrea as she scratches and claws her way over towards the cage door while being cheered on by the fans in attendance.

Adams: Can she make it? Or will Andrea stop her in time???

Simone: Brittany has got to be fast though!! Andrea is slowly starting to move her direction!!!

Andrea is indeed crawling over towards her, trying to close the gap between the two as Brittany is inches away from the cage door. Andrea reaches for the left foot of Brittany, but misses it by a mere inch as Brittany managed to pull herself towards the cage door after grabbing the edge of the ring apron. She has got her upper body now out of the cage as she is clawing herself to the outside to loud cheers from the fans.

Adams: Will she make it!!???

Simone: She is close!! Oh Dang!!!

But it is Andrea that managed to stop her attempt as she had jumped over to grab the feet of Brittany and stops her from reaching for the outside. Brittany in her turn tries to break free after rolling on her back and kicking Andrea in the face with her other foot. This causes Andrea to stagger backwards as Brittany slowly turns around and sets herself up for a jump to the outside.

Adams: Will this be it???

She jumps towards the cage door and is for 75 percent out of the cage as Andrea has jumped after her and has gotten hold of her legs once more as she ties the legs around the bottom rope. She then gets herself through the ropes and grabs the face of Brittany, who is trying to reach for the outside in desperation. Andrea then smiles as she grabs something from her tights and uses it on Brittany

Simone: What is she doing???

Adams: Is that mace????

Brittany is screaming in agonizing pain as she is now blinded, Andrea laughs as she walks through the ropes and onto the outside of the cage as her feet touches the floor and Jasmine calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match!! Andrea Hernandez!!!!

Brittany is still holding her hands in front of her eyes as she is being watched by Andrea, smiling as she grabs her by the hair and yanks her towards her face.

Andrea: Be careful what you ask for Britt...., you may not like it!!

With that she lets go and walks off laughing as medics are running over to help out Brittany Wïlliams.

Simone: What a night this has been, but it's time to say goodbye. Join us next week for the go home show as we take one step closer to High Stakes X. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!

THANK YOU! to Chris, Mark, The Lord MK, Marge, Gerrit, Annie, Jen, Andy, Shad, JJ, Laura, Jay, Ryan, Jazz, Jeremy, Julie, Mercedes, Todd, Court. Also thank you to Annie for the great match banners and to everyone who roleplayed.
