Simone: Indeed! Fans, tonight SCW closes out 2020 as only it can with three championship matches, INCLUDING the Main Event, the World Heavyweight Championship! Plus I am certain a few other surprises will be thrown in for good measure! And it all kicks off tonight with the in-ring debut of Tempest as she goes one on one against her fellow GO Gym Graduate, Krystal Wolfe! We already saw what Tempest was capable of when she attacked Sierra Williams and Samantha Marlowe last week. Will Krystal fare any better?

Adams: Then Ruby Steele, younger cousin of Kate, makes HER debut as she steps inside of the ring against GRIME's Royal Purple!

Simone: It's our first championship match of the night when Stephen Callaway "goes home," his final appearance for SCW as he challenges Brother David for the Roulette Championship!

Adams: Austin James Mercer has a new `tude and he's going to take it out on Lincoln Daniels! Can you imagine what Austin would do if Lincoln can pull off this upset?? Hoooo boy!

Simone: Then the long awaited return to the ring of the "White Wolf" Fenris as he goes up against a man he named as one of his toughest opponents ever -- "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Adams: Senor Vinnie is back in action and he's got none other than Agostino Romano across the ring from him! This has to be a real test for that speedster!

Simone: Reigning World Champion Keira Fisher-Johnson did not want 2020 to close out without stepping inside of the ring one more time and this time she has none other than Grand Slam Champion and Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas as her opponent in this non-title match!

Adams: Sammi Marlowe might have an early Christmas prezzy coming her way tonight! She challenged Roulette Champion Johanna Krieger for the title and Johanna accepted, and tonight that title match takes place!

Simone: And in tonight's Main Event! For the World Heavyweight Championship! Two-time champion and one-half of the World Mixed Tag Team Champions Kris Ryans finally cashes in his chance to challenge for the gold! But as good as Kris is, the young champion Jack Washington has been just as impressive in his short career thus far! And tonight, these two men clash with the grandest Christmas present of all up for grabs! The World Heavyweight Championship! All this and more on SCW Climax Control!

Jason leans over with a sprig of mistletoe and steals a smooch on Belinda's cheek.

We cut to the backstage area where we see Australian Bombshell and Go Gym Graduate Krystal Wolfe arriving at the arena ready for her match against Tempest.

Krystal: First I'm getting ready to get tossed around the ring by Tempest, then I must put up with whatever bullshit Ruby has in store for me, oy vey!

Krystal mutters to herself not realizing that someone heard her.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I thought Tempest was an "unproven commodity"?

Krystal looks up and spots SCW interviewer Ms. Rocky Mountains walking by her and shakes her head.

Krystal: She is, she's also an amazon who outweighs me by almost a hundred pounds and has the strength to back up her size, I just happen to be her first real test in the ring.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Are you worried?

Krystal scoffs.

Krystal: Tempest can't slam me through the matt if she can't catch me! That's going to be my key to victory in this match!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: What about getting her up for the Down Under Thunderbomb?

Krystal: I've been practicing lifting with my legs all week at the Go Gym, granted none of the girls come close to Tempest's size which meant I had to practice on the guys.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: And they had no problem with that?

Krystal: I've wrestled men before and they knew that one of them even jokingly said that he wouldn't complain about getting manhandled by a hot gamer chick! Point is, I'm ready for Tempest and tonight I'm ending the year with a win thanks to the Down Under Thunderbomb!

Krystal walks off as the scene fades.

Cameras cut to the back where Candy was standing near a Christmas Tree. There were a few big tables set around the cafeteria area, covered in trays of christmas cookies, and large coffee pots filled with hot cocoa. There were bowls with different shapes and sizes of marshmallows, sprinkles, and even crushed candy canes. Stacks of napkins, small plates, and disposable mugs with lids. There were several backstage crew working behind the tables, all wearing different Christmas themed outfits.

Candy: This is PERFECT!!! Some one turn on the Christmas music!

The radio starts playing in the background some random christmas songs. Candy grins.

Candy: YAY!!!

She walks up to the table and picks up a cookie and takes a bite.

Candy: Everyone is going to love this! I gotta go spread the word!!!

She took off skipping towards the locker room area.

The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where Krystal Wolfe is warming up ahead of her opening match against Tempest whilst her themesong "When Destinies Align" by Lovebites is playing through her iPhone, just as the song reaches the dual guitar solos Krystal looks up and rolls her eyes.

Krystal: What do you want Ruby?

Krystal asks just as Ruby steps into view Ruby arrives with a smile. She runs her hands through her long blue hair before she glares daggers into Krystal's eyes.

Ruby: Actually, I was JUST getting ready to do a special performance tonight. One before my match and after yours so try not to suck it up... No need to bore everybody with your presence in the ring.

Ruby smiles before she begins to dance in front of her.

Ruby: I was actually going to work on a special dance routine. Get myself warmed up before I shatter a certain purple female. The real question is how bad are you going to disappoint everybody tonight?!

Krystal: Disappoint?! The only way I'd disappoint anyone at the Go Gym is by not showing up tonight.

Krystal responds before the song ends.

Krystal: Get used to hearing my themesong by the way because I'm not about to go on a long losing streak! Besides, if I where you, I'd be more worried about Royal Purple then me, off course we could always trade opponents.

Krystal adds before looking at her nails playfully.

Krystal: I kick Royal Purple's ass and you get tossed around like a ragdoll by Tempest, sounds like a fair trade to me, off course the bosses wouldn't let us get away with that but I'll just happily imagine Tempest pounding you into the matt.

Ruby shakes her head as she doesn't seem to be impressed.

Ruby: Tempest, Royal Purple... It doesn't make a difference to me... Some people enter the wrestling world in hopes of being the best. In hopes of trying to outdo the other but as far as I go, I simply just want to feel the beat. I want to move and groove. I want to create music... Now just like Charlie Sheen even though tonight might be my first match ever... I will overcome all obstacles by WINNING!!!

Ruby smirks.

Ruby: Something you can't do... If you haven't realized by now, I plan to be a symbol in this company... a true SEX PISTOL and GOD... SAVE THE QUEEN that is me Ruby Steele... And speaking of QUEEN I will win in a FLASH...AHHHHHHHH...I AM THE SAVIOUR OF THE SCW UNIVERSE... and I will not crumble UNDER PRESSURRE... Now you seem like you wish to copy off so many others in wrestling being a video game nerd, but you will only be a one hit wonder like VANILLA ICE... Like you are nothing compared to me!!!!!!!!!

Krystal: Again, with the fucking song references..........

Krystal grumbles to herself as she messages her forehead.

Krystal: First off, I have wins on my record from my time in SCU and from a one off cage match against Veronica Taylor, second, a copy?! There's only one Krystal Wolfe and you're looking at her.

Krystal adds before getting in Ruby's face.

Krystal: Now if you excuse me, I have a match to win because I wanna be somebody and unlike you, I'm nobody's fool! So, go ahead, try to take on me because when you do try to take me on, you'll be living on a prayer and trying to keep the faith that your wrestling career can survive, unlike me because I will survive!

Krystal adds before walking off.

Krystal: And by the way? I've seen drunk white men with better dance moves then you!

Krystal adds as the scene fades.

We head to the backstage area of Climax Control. Mark "The Dragon" Cross can be seen patrolling the corridors, a red felt fez, complete with black tassel that swung while he walked, propped on top of his head. Finding a ring tech he wants to catch up with, he slows and breaks off from his route.

The Dragon: Hey Craig, how's things? Nearly ready for Savannah's first Christmas?

Ring Tech: Dragon! Yeah her Mom's spoilt...is that a fez, dude?

His eyes are instantly drawn to the top of the other man's head.

The Dragon: Nah I just thought I'd try something different with my hair. Of course it's a fez, I'm wearing a different hat for every Climax Control.

Producer: ROYAL PURPLE!!!?

Ring Tech: Uh oh.

The producer responsible for the almost desperate shout along the corridor skids to a halt in front of the two, out of breath, with a bottle of water in each hand.

Producer: Have you guys seen Royal Purple?

The Dragon: The little bitch hasn't knocked any drinks out of my hand, maybe she just didn't show up.

Producer: Closets - Gotcha...

The producer opens the next door she comes to, right next to where the two guys had just started chatting away.

The Dragon: Bringing that girl up to the big show? Big mistake...

Producer: Nononono...wake up wake up wake up...

Ring Tech: Guess she found her...

Producer: CROSS! HEEEEELP!

The camera pans around to follow The Dragon's eye line as he peers around the door into the closet. Royal Purple can be seen sitting, legs akimbo on the floor, back resting against the wall, her head lolling to the side.

The Dragon: Why me? I don't owe this waste of oxygen anything, if she loses her job it's all she deserves.

Producer: But what about my job huh? I've never not gotten a wrestler to the ring. Please! I'll wear a Fire Dragons shirt for a week.

The Dragon: A whole week?

Producer: Yup!

Mark makes his way into the closet, taking one of the bottles of water as he sighs heavily. He cracks the top, pouring some of the contents onto the head of Royal Purple. The girl wakes, startled, and tries to scramble back up to her feet, but her legs buckle underneath her and she hits the floor face-first.

The Dragon: Jesus Chriiiiist. How long have I got?

Producer: She's on in 20 minutes.

The Dragon: Fuck. OK - Leave that other bottle of water too. Don't let anyone come in here.

The producer leaves the bottle of water on the floor as Cross drags a bucket towards him. She makes a swift exit, closing the closet door behind them and standing in front of it, holding guard.

Ring Tech: Think Cross is going to be able to help her?

The Dragon: OK Royal Purple, so it looks like you have something in the back of your throat...

The sound of vomit hitting bucket can be heard, heavily muffled by the closed door, followed by a fit of coughing.

Producer: I think he's gonna try his best...

The Dragon: OK now take this bottle, there you go...and drink this...slowly...slower than that...no really fucking slow...

Producer: I'm gonna have to wear his stupid shirt now aren't I?

Ring Tech: At least it wasn't the hat...

Producer: Good point.

In the ring, Drew Patton can be seen waiting for the match to be introduced as he checks on the ring ropes and turnbuckles.

Simone: Tonight's opening match is one for the ages when two of GO gym's newest bombshells face off in the middle of an SCW ring

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: That's right Belinda and I don't envy either of them. But let's go to Justin for the introductions.

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

The guitar intro to "When Destinies Align" by Lovebites hits the speakers and Krystal makes her way onto the entrance ramp wearing a black t-shirt with the words "Critical Hit" companied with a D20 that has landed on a Natural Twenty over her ring gear.

Justin: From Adelaide, Australia, she is "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!

Krystal makes her way down the ramp whilst occasionally slapping hands with the fans before she rolls into the ring and poses for the fans, as her music fades she removes her shirt and hands it to a ring attendant as she waits for her opponent. The heavy beat of Halestorm's "You Call Me a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing" kicks up over the sound system and the heads of the SCW Universe turns towards the entrance as the Bombshell amazon Tempest walks out onto the stage

Justin: And her opponent, coming to the ring! From Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing two hundred and eighteen pounds -- Tempest!

Adams: That is one tall glass of kickbutt juice.

Simone: Don't let her hear you or you will be getting a long hard drink yourself.

The fans are in awe at the size of Tempest as she wastes no time in power walking straight to the ring, her eyes never straying from her destination and paying no mind to the fans reaching out toward her. A perpetual frown on her face, she arrives at the ringside area where she climbs up onto the ring apron and straight inside of the ring. Tempest stands in the center of the ring, her arms held out and turns full circle before moving to her corner.

Simone: Tempest is one intimidating woman but she has to know that fellow GO Gym alum isn't going to back down that easily.

Adams: We shall see Belinda because there is the bell.

DING DING DING!

Drew Patton motions for both women to move to the middle of the rnig where Tempest sneers down at her opponent Krystal. Wolfe holds out a hand to her fellow GO Gym bombshell who only looks at the open hand then with a shake of her head, she grabs at Wolfe. Krystal quickly ducks under the grab and races for the ropes to rebound off them charging in with a shoulder block. The impact with Tempest sends Krystal to the mat. Tempest laughs as she reaches down and pulls Krystal to her feet with one hand. Picking her up, Tempest uses a scoop slam that has Wolfe arching in pain. Tempest pushes Krystal to the mat and leans down with one hand to hold her in a pin. Krystal kicks out quickly and rolls away as Tempest glares at Patton who motions for the one count. She turns to go after Krystal who hits a superkick on the bigger woman. Tempest staggers backwards and brings her hand up to her face checking for blood. Seeing none, she charges towards Krystal who had backed up to the ropes. Seeing the big woman coming at her, Krystal drops as she pulls down the top rope which sends Tempest to the floor.

Adams: Smart move by Krystal who sent the big woman over the top to the floor. I wonder what Wolfe will do about that. I am sure that it just made Tempest angry.

On the outside, Tempest stands at the ring apron glaring at Krystal who rebounds off the opposite ropes and launches herself through the ropes with a corkscrew plancha that takes both women down. Krystal is slow to get up but she rises and rolls quickly into the ring. Tempest pulls herself up using the bottom rope and then pulls herself into the ring where she stands. Wolfe rushes across the ring and rebounding off the ropes, she launches herself up into the arms of Tempest who catches her in a bear hug. Krystal screams as the big woman tightens the hold on her. Sliding her hand along the neck of Tempest, Wolfe tries to break the hold but Tempest once more tightens the bear hug that forces the air from the lungs of Krystal. Sagging as she fights for breath, Krystal reaches deep and begins to rain down forearms onto the head of Tempest who just shakes them off. Krystal arches in pain as she forces her hand into a nerve hold that manages to force Tempest to release the hold slightly. Krystal drops to the mat gagging for breath as Tempest walks along the ropes shaking feeling back into her arm. Wolfe rolls to the corner where she pulls herself up and sags against the turnbuckles. Tempest grabs a handful of hair and pulls Krystal to the middle of the ring where she taunts the smaller woman who is swinging wildly trying to escape. Tempest brings her closer to headbutt her viciously. Krystal sags in the hold of Tempest as Drew tries to check on Wolfe. Tempest pulls her away from Drew and then pulls Krystal into another headbutt which she releases the head of Krystal who drops to the mat.

Simone: Krystal looks like she is in trouble. No matter what she tries to do, Tempest is just too strong for her.

Rolling slowly under the bottom rope, Krystal tries to get some distance from Tempest as she fights to recover. Tempest moves to the ropes but is intercepted by Patton who warns her away. Stepping back angrily, Tempest moves across the ring and towards the ropes as Drew turns and begins to count Krystal out of the ring. Tempest rolls out of the ring and moves around the ring to chase down Wolfe. Krystal sees her coming and then rolls into the ring. Tempest reaches up to the top rope to pull herself up on the apron as Wolfe rises then charges across the ring to spear Tempest in the midsection that doubles her over. Barely able to stand, Tempest uses the top rope to remain on the apron. Krystal sees her sway and then hits a dropkick that sends Tempest off the apron into the barricade. Kneeling on the mats on the outside, Tempest checks her face as she breathes deeply. Working her way to her feet, Tempest turns as Krystal uses the top rope to launch herself over to attempt a hurricanrana on the bigger woman. Tempest catches her and before she can flip the bigger woman, Tempest drops Krystal back first onto the ring apron. Krystal arches in pain clutching at her head as she falls to the floor. Tempest reaches down and picking her up, tosses her between the ropes and back into the ring. Krystal lays on the mat as Tempest pulls herself up on the apron then slides between the ropes.

Adams: Krystal had started to make a match of it but Tempest is just too strong.

Simone: I wonder if Krystal was paying attention last week when Tempest laid into Sam Marlowe and Sierra Williams.

Once inside the ring, Tempest straightens up as she stalks towards Krystal who is slowly pulling herself up by the ropes. She slowly moves toward the corner and is helped the last few feet by Tempest who spins her around and sets her up against the turnbuckles. Tempest pulls Krystal onto her shoulders and begins to climb the turnbuckles but Wolfe kicks and struggles enough to get into a position to use the top rope to unbalance Tempest and takes her to the mat with a desperation tornado DDT. Both bombshells are laid out breathing heavily as Krystal rolls to her stomach then crawls ever so slowly towards the downed Tempest and falls over her in a pin attempt. Drew manages to get into position then hits a one count but Tempest powers Krystal off her shoulders then rolls over to see Krystal slam her hands against the mat in frustration. Tempest makes her way to her feet then whips Krystal into the ropes and catches the rebounding bombshell with a running clothesline that takes her out of her boots. Wolfe is laid out on the mat as Tempest moves to pin her by planting her boot on the chest of Wolfe. Desperately, Krystal manages to raise her shoulder enough before the three count to break up the pin. Tempest glares at Drew as she reaches down and pulls Krystal up by the hair. The big woman barks at Patton to count faster as she picks up Krystal to lay her over her shoulders.

Simone: This looks very familiar to what Tempest did to Sam Marlowe...

Tempest begins to bend Krystal the wrong way forcing a scream of pain from Wolfe. Tempest keeps up the pressure as Krystal tries to hit out at her opponent. Walking around the ring, Tempest bounces Krystal on her shoulders before military pressing her then dropping her to the mat. Krystal clutches at her midsection as she curls up in a fetal position. Tempest taunts the fans before turning and picking up Wolfe, sets her into position then drops her with the Amazon Prime powerbomb that lays out the smaller woman. Tempest rolls over and pins Krystal.

Simone: That looks like the end for Krystal here tonight. She is not moving at all.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, TEMPEST

The large woman gets to her feet and ignores the prone Krystal as she raises both her hands in victory. Drew kneels to check on Wolfe as Tempest smirks before sliding between the ropes to stand on the apron and once more taunt the fans with her arms raised in challenge. Dropping to the floor, she moves up the ramp as her music plays. In the ring, Krystal is slowly making her way to the ropes with the help of Drew. Sliding under the ropes, she is helped backstage.

Adams: What a match to start the last Climax Control of 2020.

Simone: And what a debut for Tempest who picks up the win against Krystal Wolfe.

Tempest turns at the top of the ramp forcing Drew and Krystal to stop. She takes a couple of steps towards the pair but Drew warns her off. She smirks as she heads through the curtain. Drew and Krystal wait for a moment then follow her through.

The camera cuts backstage to the SCW banner where Hot Stuff Mark Ward sits in a chair.

HS: I came up with this concept about SCW stars talking about their best memories of 2020, so it would be wrong for me not to take part in this.

Hot Stuff rubs his chin.

HS: It's been a tough year for wrestling, hell the world in general. No one saw this coming, we went from touring the world, to being here in Vegas and not able to leave the state, but we plowed on regardless and pushed on to bring some brightness in to people's lives and show something I love from SCW people, the never quit attitude. Now I can pick my best moment from everything you saw on the television screen, the return of J2H, Amber Ryan and Roxi Johnson destroying each other, Evie Jordan winning Blast From The Past again, there's so many, but my favourite moment is something that happened away from the camera.

Hot stuff nods.

HS: When this pandemic started, we could have just as easily panicked, we could have shut the doors in SCW, SCU and GRIME and left it where it was, came back in a year and see where we stood, but we didn't. We sat down with the boys and girls at SCU and GRIME. there was never a mention of what the hell do we do, it was more of how do we keep people in jobs, how do we keep going? There was not thought of quitting, there was just how do we drive on. You see the wrestlers and they would have been fine, they have SCW name power, but there's a lot of people we have behind the scenes that keep these companies going, the unsung heroes that have families to take care of, even you big Mike behind the camera.

Hot Stuff smiles as the camera bops up and down, before returning to a serious face.

HS: We came together as three places and not one person behind the scenes lost their jobs, not one person left the companies that didn't want to. We offered out contracts to all so no one had to worry. There's a lot of things I've seen in SCW that's made me proud, but nothing makes me prouder than the way SCW, SCU and GRIME came together to come up with a plan of action. That's my favourite moment from 2020.

He nods his head.

HS: We're not going anywhere, virus or not, so ladies and gents, I'll take this time to wish you all a very happy holidays, to please listen to the rules, and stay safe so next year, we can be with our families.

Hot Stuff firmly nods his head and the cameras cut elsewhere.

The familiar sounds of RAISE YOUR GLASS by Pink hits the speakers and the crowd murmurs knowing something is about to happen concerning Bill Barnhart. When the spotlights hit the landing at the top of the entrance ramp the crowd focused their attention on Bill Barnhart who has just walked out from the backstage area holding his pink glass chalice in his right hand with his arm raised in the air and a mic in his left hand with his arm down on his side. The crowd erupts in a chorus of boos but Bill doesn't care what they think or how they feel. His music dies down and he lifts the mic to speak.

Bill: Welcome to the second edition of Fenris versus Bill Barnhart. In our first meeting September 29, 2019, at Climax Control 249, I had one of my three Dream Matches and it was against Fenris. We both held our own but Fenris came through, as he usually does, and got the pinfall on me. Fulfilling one of my three Dream Matches with Fenris was an honor and a pleasure. Now I get the chance to do it a second time. Tonight you'll see me, Bill Barnhart, defeat Fenris even though that is not what you want, but it is what I must do. Boo me all you want but it won't stop me from defeating Fenris this evening. I would say I'm throwing down the Gauntlet for my challenge in this match but I don't wear a Gauntlet but I do have my pink glass chalice. In a token of the challenge I throw my pink glass chalice at Fenris.

Bill throws the pink glass chalice on the landing where it shatters. That's okay as Bill has more of the pink glass chalice to work with. Bill then drops the mic to the landing and then he turns around and storms into the backstage area as the crowd rises up in booing.

Embers glow in the fireplace, as the flames crackle in the background. As the camera turns, we are greeted by the current, reigning and defending GRIME World Nightmare Champion, Max Burke, and the 2020 Sin City Wrestling Hall Of Fame inductee, "The Freight Train Of Pain" Casey Williams. They are seated in front of the fireplace in luxurious leather chairs. As they are sitting there, you see a nice bottle of whiskey, with some poured into 2 glasses, and they have some of the world's finest cigars. You see them wearing matching Hugh Hefner-esque smoking jackets and in the corner of the room, there is a Christmas tree with 2 big presents underneath it, one for Max and the other for Casey.

Max: Cheers buddy.

Max raises his glass, and Casey obliges.

Casey: We have had a huge year this year, my friend. I mean, you return to action, first as Abaddon, and reveal yourself as Max, recruiting me to join you in your quest for that GRIME World Nightmare Championship, gaining said championship, and then dominating the division for over 6 months.

Casey then takes his cigar and puts it in his mouth to smoke it, as he sits and enjoys the company of his dear friend.

Max: I couldn't have done it without you. You have had my back from day one. I knew that. But enough about me. You my friend. Congrats to you.

Casey: Thanks. As you were dominating the division, you witnessed me enter SCW's Hall of Fame at High Stakes, proving that titles don't necessarily make a man great, it is what the man does during his career that makes him great. Believe it or not, I found myself happiest when I was not going for titles but working on putting people over. My longevity and willingness to put others over and make others like you look good is why I am in the Hall of Fame, where I see you joining me one day!

Max grabs the lighter from the table, and lights his own cigar. After a couple of puffs he continues.

Max: You have been an institution in Sin City. You just keep evolving, and adapting as the years have passed. You have been an integral part in so many successes. This was a long time coming.

HO! HO! HO!

Casey: What the hell?

Max: Big man it's not Christmas without the real big man!

The camera turns slightly to see Ben Jordan enter the scene, dressed in a red Santa suit, cushions down the front of it, a red hat and a big white beard. Over his back, Ben carries a big brown sack, looking full.

Santa Ben: HO HO HO! MEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS!

Casey looks at Ben confused and Ben moves in close and whispers.

Santa Ben: It's Ben, ya plonker.

Casey raises his head and nods as Santa Ben steps a little away.

Santa Ben: What is Christmas without some important little things to do. I, Santa Ben, have come to spread joy and well wishes amongst his friends and you two are just that. This year, I have had many great moments, but they're nothing without friends to share them with, so I have brought gifts.

Ben puts down the sack and opens the top, reaching in and pulling a box from it and handing it to Casey. Casey looks bewildered when he opens his gift from Santa Ben. He looks down at it and pulls out a big afro wig.

Casey: Holy crap!!! I didn't expect you to go and get me this Santa Ben! You are the best!

Santa Ben: Trust me mate, I've read the script of this thing, you might need it in a minute.

Ben looks to the camera, and shrugs, nodding and breaking the forth wall.

Santa Ben: You lot will see in a minute.

Max: Oh good Lord Ben. Here.

Max pours a glass for Santa Ben, and passes it over with a smirk.

Max: Okay. My turn.

Max excitedly closes his eyes like a kid and holds out his arms. Santa Ben reaches in to the bag and pulls out another box, placing it in Max's hands. Max rips open the paper and opens the box to pull out a rubber mask, with the face of Ben Jordan.

Santa Ben: Now I've seen your collection of funky masks you use during your entrances, and I know it scares the kids, so thought you might like this one to add to your collection.

Max: I... you... shouldn't have.

Max busts out laughing, and knocks back the rest of his glass. He immediately pours another.

Casey: That gift is even better than the one I got. Not that I am jealous or anything.

Max: Oh don't think I forgot about you Santa. We got you a present too.

Max pops up and heads over to the tree. He reaches behind where an envelope is hidden in the branches.

Max: A little resort weekend getaway for you and the lovely Mrs. Evie.

Casey: You guys deserve it, knowing what you guys did this year in SCW!

Max: It's been so damn nice to be able to just hang out with my friends again. You guys definitely influenced my decision to return. Happy holidays gents!

Max raises his glass.

Santa Ben: Happy holiday's good people, you have both been very good this year, so I suggest a monumental booze up when this show is done, and we clean up, but as you know, Santa's work is never done.

Casey: Clean up?

Ben reaches in to the bag and pulls out an umbrella, opening it up and holding it above his head. Ben looks at the camera.

Santa Ben: Like I said, I've seen the script. I didn't write it but always come prepared.

Ben looks at Max and Casey.

Santa Ben: Nothing to do with me fellas, I didn't write it.

From out of nowhere, eggnog falls from the ceiling, covering Max and Casey, and bouncing off the umbrella above Ben's head. Max looks at Ben confused but Ben nods to the right, causing Max and Casey turn their head, showing Song holding a rope and smiling.

Song: I never forget.

Max wipes the eggnog out of his eyes.

Santa Ben: Shoulda put the presents on.

Max looks down the camera.

Max: Bah humbug.

The scene fades out.

Christian: What am I the most thankful for in the past year?

Christian leans back in his seat and crosses an ankle over his knee, resting an elbow on the arm rest and his chin on his curled fingers.

Christian: I don't think I've ever been asked an easier question. I am thankful for this entire year in SCW. I am thankful that we rose and made it through what had to be one of the toughest periods this world has experienced and we're still going through. I am thankful that I had such people like Mark Ward and everyone in SCW, SCU and GRIME that worked alongside of us to keep everything going. And...

He acted playfully sheepish.

Christian: I am thankful that the fans that have supported us the past nine plus years, stood by is a little bit longer while we forged ahead. Even when they weren't allowed in the arenas, they watched online and kept us going strong. They kept SCW, SCU and GRIME alive. That ... is what I am most thankful for.

The cameras open up backstage to find Rocky Mountains, standing with a microphone in hand outside the Jordan's locker room. The fans give off a mixed review of cheers for Ben and boos for Evie as Rocky smiles towards the camera as if to agree with them before she turns towards the door, raises her hand to knock but before her knuckle can tap the wooden door the door swings open, leaving her hanging. Out steps Evie, with a devilish smile on her face. Tonight she is dressed in blood red leather pants and a super tight matching red leather tank top, headless Santa's dangle from her ear lobes as she celebrates the Christmas edition of Climax Control a little differently to others. Rocky has a confused look on her face as she speaks.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: How did you?

Evie just shook her head from side to side unamused.

Evie: Live television... monitors... I'm sure even your thick skull can work that out.

Rocky just sighs as she puts together the words that Evie was saying before she quickly dusted herself off and got to work.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I was wondering if I could have a word with you Evie...

Evie just faked a yawn before she looked down at her black manicured nails uninterested in this interview already.

Evie: Since it's the season of giving, you're allowed two questions and two questions only...

Rocky quickly scrambled to find the first question she wanted to ask and it wasn't long before her voice hit the airways once more.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Did you happen to see Jessie's challenge last week?

Evie rolls her eyes at Rocky before she sighs loudly.

Evie: All the questions in the world and that's the one you picked? My husband made it very clear on Twitter that even though we weren't on site last week, we saw Jessie's little challenge... we laughed together, we joked about it being an early April fools, we even planned out her eulogy... it was beautiful.

Evie smirked as she thought back to last week, only to have her attention snapped back to this week from the sound of Rocky's grating voice.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: And are you going to accept her challenge?

Rocky tilted the microphone in Evie's direction and without skipping a beat Evie replied instantly.

Evie: You can bet your last dollar I'm going to accept Jessie's challenge... not because she begged for it, but because I find it very important to start each new year, with a clean slate and a fresh murder...

Evie glared across at Rocky, who was scrambling to reply to what Evie had just said.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: You mean victory in the ring right?

Evie tutted Rocky, waving her index finger in her face.

Evie: You got your two questions... don't be like Pussy and get all greedy... now kindly, fuck off.

Before Rocky could respond Evie snaked her way back into her locker room and slammed the door shut.

Cameras cut to the back to show Mark Cross leaning against the wall, looking a bit down. Candy popped around the corner behind him, saw him, and smiled. She disappeared for a second before popping back around. The cameras focus in on Mark, who was suddenly BLASTED by a ton of glitter in red and green!

The Dragon: Candy...is that you?

Mark lets out a heavy sigh as he looks down to see the raining glitter falling out of his hair and shoulders. Even with a lid on his cup of coffee, he figures that it's probably a write-off by now

Candy: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

She hopped into the scene and smiled.

Candy: What's wrong? You seem sad? No one should be sad on Christmas.

The Dragon: Just erm...one of those GRIME scumbags got vomit on one of my favourite hats...

He peels the lid off his coffee, seeing a thin layer of red and green floating on the surface. Definitely a no-go.

The Dragon: And now I need a fresh coffee...

He shakes his head, sending another flurry of glitter flying

Candy: OH NO! Well it's a good thing that I got to borrow Santa's Present Bag! I'm sure there's something in here...

She pops off screen and is heard rummaging. She pulls something out and pops back into the screen. She then hands Mark a small wrapped gift.

Candy: It's like a Christmas Miracle!!! And if you want to stop by the cafeteria, I have set up a table with free christmas cookies and hot cocoa!

The Dragon: I'm really not in the mood for...huh?

He feels the shape of the package.

The Dragon: No way....

He rips off the packaging to reveal a felt fez, this time in purple, his favourite colour. He jams it on top of his head in place of the previously ruined red one.

The Dragon: Now that IS a Christmas miracle!

Candy squeals and jumps up and down, excited.

Candy: Do you like it???

The Dragon: My day just took a turn from the better! Thaaaaanks! You said there was cocoa?

The Dragon: IMMA GO THERE RIGHT NOW!

Mark sets off at a run, his feet sliding under him as he clears the pile of glitter built up around him, nearly tripping and falling as he heads off down the corridor. Candy smiles big and picks up the bag, walking off camera.

Justin Decent: The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first

The opening riff to "Born Under A Bad Sign" draws an instant reaction from the fans as they prepare to boo the arrival of the fastest person in the building (probably) in Royal Purple. After a moment she appears through the ramp curtain, purple mask glowing and matching purple hair flowing loosely around her shoulders.

She strolls nonchalantly towards the ring, tying her hair back into a loose ponytail and getting ready for action, no attention paid to the jeers from the crowd roaring around her..

I don't care that I ruined that match.

I don't care that those people who abandoned me earlier this year during my summer of hell went home disappointed.

I only care about ME!

I only cared about what I had to do! Of course, I could've just gone after Keira and the world title too but... that's not necessary. She's not going to last much longer as champion anyway either because someone else takes it from her or, if she's SOMEHOW still champion after I'm done with Roxi, it'll be ME!

You thought that Amber was bad, Roxi? I love Amber and everything, don't get me wrong. But by the time I'm done with you, what I put you through is going to make everything AMber put you through look like child's play and I have no shame in saying that! I can't believe that I was once STUPID enough to idolize you. I can't believe that there was a point in time where I was STUPID enough to ever want to be one of your sidekicks. Fuck, teenage year Andrea was one dumb child, wasn't she? This isn't just about the world title... this isn't just about 'enabling'... this is about the fact that YOU abandoned me!

Andrea throws down the broken mug handle, breaking it once it lands hard on the marble flooring.

Andrea: All the times that I could've used you...

Andrea pauses as she walks to the other side of the highly expansive and highly expensive backyard of her new Paradise Valley home where there's a fire pit burning. Inside of that fire, we see a cardboard cutout of Roxi Johnson... a sight that brings a smile to Andrea's face.

Andrea: Roxi roasting on an open fiiiiire....

Andrea laughs some more and leaves the fire pit behind. The camera focuses on 'Roxi roasting on an open fire' as the scene fades out.

The camera pans backstage to see one half of the mixed tag team champions in Mikah standing there. She adjusts the skirt of her shirt, skimpy emerald green dress before rolling her eyes at the camera. The championship however was missing from her person.

Mikah: You're lucky I even chose to show up. I thought about just skipping over and go straight to NYC to spend the holiday season in my favorite city.

She places her hands on her hips before looking around.

Mikah: But since it is the holiday season, I thought I'd give you all a Christmas present in seeing me.

She however shows no emotion on her face, which was different than usual.

Mikah: I know a lot of the other idiots in this company have been saying what they're thankful for. And what they enjoyed about 2020 and all that other boring bullshit.

She rolls her eyes.

Mikah: But what does anybody have to be thankful for in this shitshow of a year?

She raises an eyebrow.

Mikah: Absolutely fucking nothing. 2020 can fuck right off. And so can most everybody else.

She shrugs her shoulders.

Mikah: Oh, what? Did you expect me to say anything else? Right. I'm sure you all expected me to say Kris or somebody else.

She hesitates before shrugging her shoulders.

Mikah: Nope.

She is quiet for a moment.

Mikah: You know what? This was a mista-

She freezes as Despayre runs into the frame and kisses her on the cheek.

Despayre: HAHA!

Was all he says before running off, leaving Mikah standing there speechless. She just blinks before shaking her head.

Mikah: Fuck it. Forget this shit.

She walks out of the shot.

The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the SCW Roulette Champion Brother David Shepherd and his challenger for tonight Stephen Callaway standing beside the Roulette Wheel ready to hear their fate.

Simone: It's time for Brother David's first title defence and it's against one of the men he beat for the title two weeks ago.

Adams: Stephen took himself and Kedron Williams out of the match leaving Brother David, with a little unintentional assistance from Bill Barnhart, to win the title and tonight Stephen looks to redeem himself and get an early Christmas present for himself.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?

Brother David and Stephan nod and Ms. Rocky Mountains gives the Roulette Wheel a spin, it goes round and round for a few minutes before finally stopping on.........

Stephen: Naughty or Nice?!

Brother David: I'll have you know that I am a man of god and.........

Ms. Rocky Mountains: There will be gift boxes scattered across the ring and ringside area, some will have weapons, some will have gag gifts, hardcore rules apply but you can only use what you get out of those boxes.

This shuts up Brother David and the two men part ways to prepare for the match.

Simone: Welcome back to the Seasons Beatings edition of Climax Control! Coming up next, it's our first title match of the night as Brother David Shepherd defends the Roulette Title against Stephen Callaway in a Naughty or Nice Match!

Adams: As you can see, there are gift boxes scattered across the ring and ringside area, some will have weapons, others will have gag gifts! Hardcore Rules apply but Brother David and Steven can only use the weapons contained in those boxes!

Simone: Time to see if Brother David can pass the first test of any new champion, the first defence, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Roulette Championship! Thanks to a spin of the wheel, this match will be a Naughty or Nice Match!

The crowd cheers but they quickly turn into boos as a white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Feel Invincible" by Skillet begins to play through the arena. The crowd boos and gets louder when the announcer speaks up.

Justin: Introducing first, on his way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma he is 6'4" and weighed in this morning at 245lb. Representing the Church of The Good Shepherds he is the SCW Roulette Champion, Brother David Shepherd!

And the boos become louder. David walks out onto the stage, throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand as he comes to the centre of the stage. He walks down the aisle as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and jumps up onto the apron. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and bounces off the ropes multiple times with high, angry energy as he waits for the match to start.

Simone: Brother David looks to end the year as Roulette Champion.

Adams: Stephen won't make this easy for him! That being said, Brother David has already grabbed one of the boxes!

Justin: Introducing the challenger!

"Remedy" by Cold plays and Stephen Callaway struts to the ring singing along with his music. He never touches hands with the fans.

Justin: From Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, weighing in at 234ibs, he is Stephen Callaway!

He taps the ring post with his index finger before walking up the steps and through the ropes. Once in the ring he walks to the corner diagonal from where he came in and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and raises his right arm in the shape of a semi-circle.

Simone: Stephen hasn't had the best win/loss record since signing with SCW, but he has really turned things around in recent times.

Adams: The last Roulette Title Match he was in was a stumbling block but now he has a chance to turn his fortunes around again!

Jacob tries to bring both men to the centre of the ring to explain the rules to them but whilst Stephen is willing to comply, Brother David is more interested in opening the box, Stephen finally has enough and picks up the nearest gift box before whacking Brother David in the back with the box prompting Jacob to call for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: That's one way to use the boxes but I hope there wasn't a PS5 in there!

Adams: If the bosses got their hands on a PS5, do you really think they'd stick it in one of the gift boxes?!

Belinda admits that Jason has a point as Brother David drops the gift box for a moment, fortunately for him Stephen has decided to see just what was in the box and once he gets it open, he reveals a baseball bat, however Brother David has been hard at work opening his own box and he quickly gets it open to reveal.........

Simone: A dildo?! I guess Brother David grabbed one of the gag gifts!

Adams: Somewhere in the arena, Ariana Angelos is trying to wake up a just fainted HB Carter but, in the ring, Stephen is trying not to laugh!

Brother David looks absolutely mortified at the object in his hands whilst Stephen takes a moment to compose himself after having a good laugh at the champ's expense, but Brother David decides to make the most of the situation by swinging for the fences with the dildo, Stephen ducks it easily and whacks Brother David in the mid-section with the baseball bat doubling over the defending champion and allowing Stephen to drop him with a DDT.

Simone: And the priest has dropped the dildo! That's not a sentence I get to use every day!

Adams: Depends on the priest but Stephen is going for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Brother David gets the shoulder up! Stephen tosses the bat aside and goes for another box finding a fairly heavy box, he opens it and can't believe his eyes.

Simone: Oh my god, they actually put a PS5 in there!

Adams: How?!

Stephen quickly opens it but his excitement turns to disappointment as it turns out to be a much older and worse console, the Atari Jaguar CD, Stephen stares at the antiquated system in bewilderment as Brother David gets back to his feet.

Simone: I don't think you can run Cyberpunk 2077 on that somehow.

Adams: It would probably still run better than it did on the PS4 though!

Stephen shakes his head before deciding to use the terrible console as a weapon, but it proves to be just a good a weapon as it was a console as Brother David ducks under the console attack easily and whacks Stephen in the balls with the Baseball Bat! And just to make things worse for Stephen, the pain causes him to drop the Atari Jaguar CD onto his foot causing him to yell out and cuss in pain before Brother David rolls him up.

ONE!

Simone: I bet if we asked Stephen later in the night, he'll say that if 2020 was a sequence in a wrestling match, it would be that sequence.

TWO!

Adams: And to be honest, I find it hard to disagree with him, but he had better kick out of Brother David's roll-up if he wants to stay in this!

And sure enough, Stephen kicks out of the roll-up, Brother David shakes his head before rolling out of the ring in search of another box and grabs a large one, the size makes Brother David pause to consider how to open it, but he doesn't get much of a chance to brainstorm as Stephen leaps over the ropes and hits Brother David with a plancha to the outside that brings the fans to their feet! Jacob instinctively goes to start the ten count but pauses.

Simone: That's a good point, is this Falls Count Anywhere or not?

Adams: Looks like Jacob's received word from the back and is starting the ten count so I guess the answers no.

Jacob's slightly delayed count reaches five before Stephen rolls into the ring to break it and then rolls back out to pick up from where Brother David left off with the large gift box, he manages to get it open revealing a steel chair and with a big grin on his face Stephen swings at Brother David as he is getting to his feet hitting him in the back before rolling the chair back into the ring followed swiftly by Brother David, another gift box and Stephen.

Simone: Stephen's looking good despite the mishap with the Atari Jaguar CD!

Adams: He shouldn't celebrate so soon! Brother David is opening the gift box Stephen rolled into the ring.

Stephen is too busy measuring up Brother David for the swing to notice the champ opening the gift box, Steph swings but it is blocked by an unlikely source.

Simone: Is that a toy lightsabre?!

Adams: I guess the bosses watched the Mandalorian before sorting the gifts!

Brother David doesn't seem to realize what he has in his hands at first but once it sinks in, he apparently decides "screw it" and starts swinging the toy lightsabre even mimicking some of the moves from the Star Wars Movies in the process before Stephen manages to swat it away with the Steel Chair much to the disappointment of the fans before hitting Brother David in the face with the chair! Stephen goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

And Brother David kicks out! Stephen spots one last gift box in the ring and shrugs before going for it, he opens it quickly and finds.........

Adams: The Roulette Title! Stephen got the ultimate gift box in this match!

Simone: No Jason, the real Roulette Title is with the timekeeper, which would make that a toy replica and thus, a gag gift! But here comes Brother David!

Stephen shrugs again before swinging the toy Roulette Title at David's face but Brother David ducks it and drops Stephen with his finisher onto the toy belt.

Simone: Ray of Light! Brother David hits it!

Adams: Stick a fork in Stephen, he's done!

Brother David goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner and STILL ROULETTE CHAMPION BROTHER DAVID SHEPHERD!

Simone: Brother David retains in a rather......unique defence.

Adams: Better luck next time Stephen!

Brother David celebrates with the (real) Roulette Title whilst Jacob checks on Stephen.

Fenris just sits there, staring straight ahead with a furrowed brow.

Fenris: What am I most thankful for? What is my best memory of 2020?

He looks off camera and frowns.

Fenris: Seriously!?

Ben Jordan: (off camera) Just do it Fish Lips!

Grumbling, Fenris turns back and huffs. He finally shrugs.

Fenris: I think the best memory was my last show in 2020. I never was a people person and I thought the feeling was mutual. But all of those people -- Mark and Christian. Ben. O'Malley. London Underground. Dani. Bobbie... the lost goes on. Every one of them giving Aron and me such a send off...?

He shakes his head.

Fenris: Nobody ever made me feel that ... wanted ... before. It made me feel worse for leaving, and guilty for wanting to come back. I guess that's my best memory.

Ben Jordan: (off camera) D'awww!

Fenris: SHUT UP!

We cut to the backstage area as Violet is leaning against the wall. Her arms are crossed as her pink hair is tossed into a sharp ponytail. Her lips are curled into a devilish grin as she looks toward the camera.

Violet: 2020 maybe coming to a close but I promise you. 2021 will be the year HELL breaks loose on SCW. I'm done playing games. I'm done being overlooked. Samantha Marlowe, Myra Rivers or whomever wants to stand in my way. They will find out that the FIVE FEET of CRAZY isn't just a moniker.

Violet snickers as she cracks her knuckles.

Violet: As for you Johanna, I'm coming for my title and I will not stop till I get it back.

Violet winks her eye as the cameras cut away.

---

The scene cuts in on the quaint, Miami home of SCW Bombshells Internet Champion Myra Rivers as she sits in her living room. All things considered, she's in a positive, upbeat mood. There's no denying the fact that she's had an incredible year since her arrival in Sin City Wrestling and as she holds the championship on her lap and soaks it in, she maintains this positive, upbeat attitude once she expresses her thoughts.

Myra: Earlier this year, I wasn't sure where I was going to be in this business. After I left my previous wrestling company, at my age, my future was as uncertain as it could be. I didn't know if any wrestling company out there was going to take a chance on me. I didn't even know if I had wanted to wrestle again. But then I got the call from Sin City Wrestling. I was completely floored. I couldn't believe that they had even wanted to talk to me. I'm glad that they did though, one hundred percent. I didn't hesitate to sign on the dotted line. But when my signing was revealed, there were so many people out there that didn't think I was going to make it. I knew that coming here, I was going to face the toughest competition of my career.

The pundits knew it. They all thought that at the age of 35 at the time... 36 now... that I was 'too old' to be part of the toughest women's division in all of professional wrestling. They all thought I had signed here about five to ten years too late. They thought that I was going to just be around for a few months, realize I was in over my head and then get out. But what happened instead was something that I take so much pride in! Since coming to this company, I've been wrestling better now, this year, than I ever have at any point in my career. Sure, I've won four world championships in my time. Sure, I came into this company having 18 titles to my name... and this championship that I hold now made it 19... but I've never, in my career, wrestled as good or better than the way I've wrestled since I've come here.

I wasn't intimidated by the competition.

Instead?

I adjusted and evolved my game and completed a seamless adaptation into this company and I couldn't be more grateful for the way things have been for me since I've gotten here. Yeah, I've been around as long as I have and there have been some mistakes of varying severities along the way. I've never been perfect. I've never always been an angel. I've burned many bridges in my time... but I'm still doing something that I love and to close out the year as the Bombshells Internet Champion? If I could script the way this year in SCW would've gone for me, I would've never come up with everything that has happened.

So that leads us to 2021...

Myra pauses as she picks the championship up off of her lap and slings it over her shoulder. She maintains a poised focus in her eyes as she continues.

Myra: January 6 is going to mark the 13th anniversary of my mainstream wrestling debut... and the start of my 14th year on the global stage. Maintaining this championship reign that I have is priority number one... but I am feeling so confident and so good about what's to come in the new year. I have every reason to all things considered... and I know just where to start when it comes to the new year...

Candy...

Myra takes a pause as she briefly thinks about the woman that actually did take her up on the challenge that she put out there last week.

Myra: You're a bright talent with a bright future... and I'm glad it was you that took me up on the challenge I laid out. I was willing to defend against anyone out there, but my preference was someone who had yet to be a world champion in Sin City Wrestling considering the history my championship has had of building up future main event players. With time, you could be one.

But this will be a tough test for you, just as it is for me. I'll dive into it later when the time is right. But for now Candy... I'll leave you with 3 words.

Supercard. Challenge accepted!

I'll see you there!

As for everything else? It's been one hell of a ride so far... and that thrill ride is only just beginning.

Myra maintains her poise and confidence as the scene fades out.

---

Backstage by the special Christmas themed roulette wheel, the camera is doing a full on close up of a plush, red sofa trimmed in white fuzzy fur. Another holiday decoration of Candy's, no doubt. But dead center on the back of the sofa is a red Santa cap with a sprig of mistletoe on the furry white ball.

The answer to this is answered as very s-l-o-w-l-y Despayre creeps up, just past the arch of his nose. His fingers grip the back of the sofa as his wide and wary eyes dart from left to right, looking for those amorous Christmas babes looking to steal a smooch.

As he is looking side to side, he doesn't notice that Candy, with Fluffy and Hero each under an arm, are sneaking up behind him. She puts the pups on the floor and they run up, one on each side, and begin licking the sides of his face!

Candy: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! YOU GET MISTLETOE PUPPY KISSES!!!

Despayre struggles and finally pulls himself back up over the edge of the sofa and rights his Santa hat. He shakes his head and sticks his tongue out.

Despayre: BLAH! Puppy breath!

Candy giggles and runs off with Hero and Fluffy running off along with her, as Despayre pulls off his hat and uses it to wipe his cheek.

---

We cut to the office of Mark Ward, and it is there where we are able to see Christina Rose. She is wearing a pair of glasses and to complete her nerdy look she is clad in a Mega Man Ugly Christmas sweater with a pair of jeans and sneakers. She smiles as she enters into the office with what looks to be a folder in her hand as well as a glass jar.

Christina: Hello Mark long time no see...

HS: Long time no see?! I see you every week and...

Mark looks at Christina from head to toe before he nods his head in agreement and smiles at her.

HS: OH it's you... Been a while since I have seen my former personal assistant... How is the Golden Ring Casino going for you?! Is Daniel treating you well...

Christina nods her head with a wicked grin as she looks back at Mark.

Christina: The casino is doing well especially it's special events. Under my guidance we have donated thousands of dollars to Toys For Tots... Actually if it wasn't for that wonderful organization I wouldn't have met my now adopted daughter Aurora and we have recently taken a strong liking to pouring money into the charity of St. Jude's Children Hospital so we can aid in the healing of sick children. It's always a nice feeling to give back to the community...

Christina smirks as she looks at the jar and glares right at Mark Ward.

Christina: As far as that jar goes that is some homemade Coquito I made sure to put a whole bunch of Rum in it just for you. When you get back to the hotel make sure you enjoy it. I have a feeling you will love it a lot.

HS: Cheers... But why are you really here?! What do you want?!

Christina takes a long deep breath as she slides the folder in front of Mark Ward. He seems a bit taken back as he glances it over and looks at it.

HS: What is this exactly?!

Christina: This is a list of my accomplishments for the last few months...

HS: And what am I really looking at it... What are you trying to achieve here?!

Christina takes a long deep breath nodding her head with a grin as she takes her glasses off and tosses them to the side. She takes her ponytail out making her hair flow down her back.

Crystal: As good as it is to be nice the fact is when I step into the ring we know it's Crystal Z that shows up, and truth be told. What I really wanted was to step in the ring with Amber Ryan but sadly I know that isn't possible. The past three super cards I have emerged victorious. I have won the Queen for the Day. I beat Vargas, and I beat Andrea in a brutal I Quit match. I beat her so badly that she refuses to even acknowledge me by name anymore.

HS: What are you trying to get at Crystal?!

Crystal: Not only that but I have beaten Keira twice and one of those being right before she won the belt. I have beaten Sam Marlowe right before she challenged for the Internet Championship and after losing she gets to go about calling out a Roulette Champion and getting that chance. My resume has been top notch and the only thing hiccup I have in a long time is really losing to Tally by roll up. I realized that I did lose my cool and I got myself suspended but I came back with a huge solid win and I believe I should at least be considered to wrestle for the top prize at the next Super Card. I don't really ask for much and with everybody occupied who else is there really?!

Crystal smiles as she continues to speak.

Crystal: I guess what I am saying is that I at least should be considered for a chance to compete for World Championship Gold... Nobody has ever been a 5 time World Champion in this company, whether superstar or bombshell, and I would love that chance. A chance to be the very best... Would be amazing! So what do you say Mark...

HS: I say it's weird how you switched from Christina to Crystal so easy...

Hot Stuff looks down at the list of accomplishments and scratches his head.

HS: You have had a good 2020 Christ.... Crysta..... whoever you've been. Now this is a compelling case. Most people sit there and say I want a title shot, when they've lost their last few matches. It's really, really hard to argue all of that stuff and trust me, I really, really want to.

Hot Stuff leans back in his chair.

HS: Alright, you want Keira at the first supercard of 2021? You want the chance to be a five time World Champion... You got it.

Crystal's eyes widen.

Crystal: Seriously?

HS: Seriously. Go on, run off to tell Seleana.

Crystal: You won't regret it!

Crystal smiles and leaves the room and Hot Stuff shakes his head.

HS: That's debatable, I still need to tell Christian.

The camera fades.

O'Malley is found hanging out backstage. He has a bottle of water in his hand and as he twists the cap and takes a sip, Pussy Willow walks up to him. He lowers the plastic bottle and lets out a sigh as he twists the cap back on.

Pussy: Evening, O'Malley. By yourself tonight? It's not often we find you without Darcy by your side.

O'Malley: True, it's not. But me lovely wife is feeling a bit under the weather so she decided to stay home tonight. Not that it really needs explaining.

Pussy shakes her head.

Pussy: Of course not. I do hope she feels better. But I was wondering if you had a few moments?

O'Malley looks around, noting there is no one else around.

O'Malley: Doesn't look like I'm doin' anything else, does it?

Pussy: No, I suppose not. I was hoping you could tell us your thoughts on your match against Agostino last week? You've been relatively quiet recently.

O'Malley rolls his eyes.

O'Malley: What about it?

Pussy: Well. You lost. And not just any loss, but you tapped out. That has to be a hard pill to swallow when just the week before you basically challenged Jack Washington for the World Heavyweight Championship.

O'Malley chuckles. He sets the half empty bottle of water down on the table next to him and gives Pussy his full attention.

O'Malley: Can't win 'em all, Pussy. But just because I had a rough night and Agostino beat me, doesn't mean the Italian bitch is better than me, or that he'll get what I want. Ye see, I'm lookin' to end out what has been a shite year, fer everyone not just myself, and move on to 2021 because that is the year where big things happen. Fer me. Not fer Agostino.

Pussy: You can't lie though. Agostino has had a string of impressive wins recently.

O'Malley: I don't give a shite. He also had a shot at Jack Washington and lost! One win over me means nothin'. I don't care about Agostino. I'm more interested in this main event tonight, fer obvious reasons.

Pussy nods and thinks over her next words carefully.

Pussy: That is not at all surprising considering the tension you have between both Jack and Kris. I'm sure everyone is wondering who you'd rather win.

O'Malley: And they'll keep wonderin'. Because win or lose, it don't matter. I've got unfinished business with both. And I've still got my sights set on that title. A lot of interest in this one fer me.

Pussy: But you challenged Jack. So what if he loses tonight? That throws a wrench in your plans, right?

O'Malley grins.

O'Malley: Not exactly, no. It would just make things that much more interesting. But, c'mon. Do ye really see Kris beating Jack? Because I don't.

Pussy: You seem awfully confident in that assessment. But we'll find out later, won't we?

O'Malley: That we will. Have yerself a good night, Pussy.

Pussy: You as well. And enjoy your Christmas and New Year with Darcy.

O'Malley smiles and nods. He grabs his bottle of water before he walks away to another part of the building.

Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall and it is a standard match

A video package starts playing on the screen as "Go Hard" suddenly blasts through the sound system. Blue and green lights start to float around the arena as Lincoln Daniels steps through the curtain with his wife Zania right by his side. Lincoln takes one look at the audience before holding his arms out wide. A small set of pyro goes off behind him as they slowly make their way down the ramp.

Justin: Making his way down the aisle, being accompanied to the ring by Zania Daniels, from Valdosta, Georgia, he stands six feet two inches tall. He weighs 241 pounds. He is "Mr. Incredible" Lincoln Daniels

Lincoln gets half way down the ramp before leaving his wife's side and sliding into the ring. He stands on the far turnbuckle while holding his arms out wide while mouthing out towards the audience.

Justin: And his opponent

The lights shut off as "A conversation with death" by Khemmis 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. 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

Justin: Standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 265 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Austin James Mercer!!!

DING DING DING!

The match has begun with Austin charging in on Lincoln Daniels and forces his might upon him and pushes him into the turnbuckles. There he delivers several shoulder blocks into the midsection before whipping Lincoln into the turnbuckles on the opposite corner of the ring. There Austin follows it up with a running lariat as that sends Lincoln crashing down onto the canvas upon the impact of Austin. Austin puts the boots to him before starting to choke Lincoln out with it. This forces Drew to use the five count upon Austin, who stops at the count of four and turns around and stares Drew Patton straight in the eyes as in an attempt to intimidate him.

Simone: I never thought I would see this side of Austin, he is already an imposing figure but with this attitude???

Adams: I agree, some have said that this is what Austin has been missing to remain dominant.

Austin turns around and lifts his head up, causing his hair to fall behind him and laughs as he looks at the fans for a few moments. He then turns back towards his opponent as we see that Lincoln has gotten back to his feet rather quickly and surprises Austin with a massive dropkick that staggers the big man a few steps. Lincoln jumps back to his feet and follows it up with a discus clothesline that sends Austin into the ropes. There Austin rebounds off the ropes and is caught by Lincoln in an Overhead Released German suplex as he is using Austin's own momentum coming off the ropes for his advantage. Austin comes crashing down hard as he sits up with a painful look on his face.

Simone: That was an impressive counter from Lincoln and now he is going for the pin!!

Lincoln pushes Austin on his back and hooks both legs for the cover.

ONE!

TW.

Austin manages to kick out even before the two count has been fully registered, Lincoln follows it up by hooking Austin in a reversed chinlock after Austin sat up. Putting all of his weight on the back of Austin's neck and leans forward. Austin attempts to grab the head of Lincoln, but his hands are being pushed away by Drew as he warns him for doing that. This causes Austin to slowly get back to his feet as he drives a few series of elbows into the midsection of Lincoln before whipping him into the ropes for an Irish Whip. There Lincoln comes off the ropes and ducks a clothesline from Austin before jumping the ropes and come off the ropes with a flying forearm that staggers Austin into the ropes.

Adams: Austin needs to deal with this man speed!!

Austin comes back off the ropes again and is awaited by Lincoln who attempts to execute a slam on Austin. But Austin stops in his track as he blasts Lincoln upon the back with a big time blow to the back by Austin. He then grabs Lincoln by the head and executes a big time snap suplex as that causes Lincoln come crashing down hard on the canvas. Austin quickly gets back up and delivers series of elbow drops on the chest of Lincoln before nonchalantly covering him.

ONE!

TWO!

Lincoln manages to get his shoulder off the canvas as Austin stares at the ref and is annoyed. He grabs Lincoln by the head and gets him up to his feet, hitting an inverted atomic drop on Lincoln before running to the ropes and sets himself for his patented Mercenary Kick. Only to have Lincoln sidestep him as Lincoln runs to the ropes after sidestepping Austin and comes off the ropes with a flying clothesline that sends Austin into the ropes. Lincoln gets to his feet and executes a huge Haymaker upon the former World champion that sends him over the top ropes and hit the concrete floor hard.

Adams: Good God!!! That was an impressive counter

Lincoln slides out of the ring and grabs Austin by the head and whips him into the steel barricade before hitting several knees into the midsection of Austin before grabbing him by the head and sets him up for a DDT on the concrete floor.

Simone: Don't do it!!

Lincoln looks around and sports a grin before setting Austin up for a DDT, only to have Austin reverse the move as he drives Lincoln's back into the ring apron. Austin rolls back in and out of the ring to break the ten count and starts to deliver several hard blows to the face of Lincoln before whipping him into the steel ring steps, causing Lincoln to hit shoulder first that sends the top part of the steps off the ring steps.

Adams: I hate to be the Internet Champion when Austin faces Caleb.

Austin smirks confidently as he grabs the head of Lincoln and tells Patton to shut up as he rolls Lincoln back in the ring. he slowly gets on the ring apron and steps through the ropes slowly, believing that he has the match all in the back. Only to be surprised by Lincoln who shot blocks Austin from behind as that causes him to fall backwards on his back. Lincoln follows it up by grabbing the leg that he hit a few moments ago and starts to kick the hamstrings of Austin before delivering an elbow upon the injured leg a few times before locking it between his legs.

Simone: Lincoln is bringing it to the former champ!!!

Adams: This kid is impressive, but he has to keep it up though

Austin manages to grab the back of the head of Lincoln and pulls it backwards before dropping his free leg across the head in an attempt to break the hold that he has on Austin's other leg. Finally manages in doing so as Austin slowly gets to his feet, limping upon his feet and grabs Lincoln by the head and rubs the laces of his boot against the face of Lincoln. He then lifts Lincoln back upon his feet and whips him into the ropes before setting Lincoln up for the Legacy Bomb and sends him crashing down upon the canvas before hooking Lincoln for the three count.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE...

Lincoln surprises Austin as he manages to kick out of one of Austin's patented finishing moves. This infuriates Austin as he grabs Lincoln and tells the SCW universe that he is going to end it as he sends Lincoln back into the ropes and sets him for one more Legacy Bombs in the middle of the ring. Austin sets Lincoln up for the Powerbomb and hoists him in the air, but in mid air it is Lincoln that somehow manages to hit a dropkick on the former champ.

Simone: Did you see that???

Lincoln immediately runs to the ropes and jumps off it

Adams: Georgia Splash!!!

Lincoln comes off the ropes with a springboard 450 splash upon Austin, but Austin gets his knees up as that causes Lincoln to crash upon it. Austin then sets Lincoln for a final Legacy Bomb as he whips him into the ropes and hits the move before going for the three count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match by pinfall!! Austin James Mercer!!!

Austin gets up and stares at Lincoln before walking off and smiles.

Aron Baltasarsson stands in front of one of many of Candy's holiday themed backdrops. This one being Santa's workshop.

Aron: Me? Even though I already miss my family in Iceland, I'm grateful to be back in SCW with my brother. Even though we were given such a heart warming send off, I think my top memory, the thing I'm most thankful for? Definitely us being welcomed back after we were gone. That will always be number one on my list.

Aron picks up a Christmas cracker and pulls it apart, resulting in a POP! of confetti and streamers sprewing all over as he smiles brightly for the camera.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome back to the stage -- Amanda Hugginkiss!

The loud "rip" of a motorcycle's engine revving up is heard across the sound system and a leather-clad Amanda is driving on the back of the Harley, the driver being a bare chested stud wearing black leather pants and boots and a red Santa hat.

The Harley pulls to a stop and Amanda hops off, removing her shades and tucking them into the waistline of the driver. Amanda starts to strut about the stage, the heavy beat music kicking up and the performance beginning.

Amanda: Wreck the malls this Christmas season
Fa-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la

Ben Jordan sits in front of the camera.

Ben: Alright people.

Ben winks.

Ben: Best memories of 2020. I spent a lot of 2020 as SCW World Heavyweight champion. I sat as a champion for a long, long time, I faced some top people over this year, which is what I really wanted. I could sit here and talk about that match with Fenris, which was simply unbelievable, I could talk about Jack Washington, because that boy is special and that match was beyond all expectations. I could even talk about my last match with Alex Jones. All are very big memories of 2020 for me. I mean to face that class of opponent, a lot when I was the bloke at the top of the mountain, I could talk about reconnecting with me old mucker Max Burke, or Evie being champion, so many things could come to mind but instead, I think my best memory of SCW in 2020 was to do with you lot.

Ben points at the camera.

Ben: 2020 was a trying year for a wrestler, because it was hard doing it without you guys. I was SCW World Heavyweight champion without the fans in the arenas to see it so my favourite memory is when you guys could come back in and see us live.

A cheer comes from the crowd.

Ben: You'll never know the excitement we get from hearing you guys boo and cheer and that was my best memory of 2020, walking down to the ring and being able to hear those cheers, to be able to take social distanced selfies with the crowd. I won a lot of awards this year, but you'll never replace that feeling of being in front of a live crowd. That's my moment of 2020.

Ben presses his lips together and nods slightly.

Ben: I'd like to take this chance to wish you all a very happy holiday and a great new years celebration with the family. Behave yourselves.

Ben winks.

Ben: Laters people.

The camera fades.

"The White Wolf" Fenris is pacing back and forth backstage, and the SCW Universe watching ignites into riotous cheers at the sight of the returning SCW Superstar. His brother Aron Baltasarsson watches on closely in brotherly concern.

Aron: K, calm down...

Fenris stops where he stands and spins around to his brother.

Fenris: No I will NOT calm down! I am going to use it. I am going to use this tonight and make that old blowhard and his trophy wife regret every word they ever said! Everything that they insinuated!

Aron: They probably didn't mean it the way...!

Fenris: Oh the hell they didn't! When have you EVER known Barnhart to say ANYTHING he didn't mean!?

Aron pauses for a brief moment's thought before his brother's point is made and hits home. He shrugs in admitting.

Aron: Granted...

Pussy Willow: Excuse me gentlemen? is this a bad time?

Both brothers turn to Pussy Willow who looks apprehensive about this assignment as she seems to have walked onto a minefield with the temperamental Fenris.

Both brothers: YES!/No!

We'll leave you to figure out which said which? Pussy Willow looks back and forth between the pair.

Pussy Willow: I was hoping to get a word with Fenris about his first match back in well over four months, against "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart, but something seems to have upset you?

Fenris scoffs and turns his back to the reporter, nodding and silently mouthing "Something seems to have upset me!"

Aron: It's nothing personal. It's just something said in Bill's promo rubbed my brother the wrong way.

Fenris turns around with a dark scowl on his otherwise handsome face.

Fenris: That's putting it mildly! Did you even watch his promo!? Did you hear what he said!?

Pussy Willow reluctantly nods with wide eyes.

Pussy Willow: I-I thought he spoke with respect where you were concerned?

Fenris: Respect? You thought that was respectful!!? He said beating me was going to be 'simple!' He was talking like I was nothing! Accused me of being soft from being inactive! Who the HELL ever said I was inactive while I was back home in Iceland!? I may not have been wrestling competitively but it wasn't like I was just sitting on my fucking ass the entire time, eating pizza and getting fat! I was still working out EVERY DAY! I was still sparring in both wrestling and MMA! I knew damn well that when and IF I came back, I wasn't going to let ANYONE think I had gone soft! In fact, I was going to prove the exact opposite true -- but that is exactly what Bulldog thinks of me, so yeah!

He nods.

Fenris: That is EXACTLY what I am going to prove to him! And even that wasn't as bad as the shit his wife was insinuating about me OR Aron!

Pussy Willow seems lost so he speaks up to clear things up for her.

Fenris: First of all, why the HELL is she even participating in his promo against me!? SHE'S not my opponent! HE is! And second, saying she's going to be at ringside to make sure there is no cheating our outside interference!? SERIOUSLY!? When the FUCK have I EVER cheated to win a match!? HUH!?!? When have I EVER relied on ANYONE to get involved in ANY of my matches or to help me win!? HUH!?!? Name me ONE time!

Pussy Willow: N-Never?

Fenris: EXACTLY! And if I...!

Suddenly the evening's hostess Candy pops up, seemingly out of no where, with a small wrapped gift in her hand, and a huge smile on her face.

Candy: MERRY Christmas FENNY!!!

Fenris blinks, clearly caught off guard not only by Candy's sudden arrival seemingly from out of nowhere, but also by...

Fenris: F-Fenny? FENNY!?

Fenris turns to his brother and speak something harshly in Icelandic while motioning towards Candy.

Candy: Yeah! Fenny! I had to give you a fun nickname! Here, I have a Christmas present for you! Fluffy picked it out!

She holds out the present at an arms length, maintaining her insanely huge smile across her face. Fenris frowns as he stares first at the package, and then at Candy herself. Aron himself is enjoying every moment of this, knowing how cheerful Candy is, and knowing how it's seemingly is the perfect contrast for his perpetually angry and grumpy older brother.

Aron: C'mon K!

Fenris looks at his brother, and then back at Candy before he finally reaches out and accept the package into his hand. He shakes his head.

Fenris: Why? You don't even know me!

Candy: Because everyone deserves presents on Christmas!!!

She then reaches down and grabs another box and handed it to Aron.

Candy: You get one too!!! YAY!!!

Aron: Yay!

Aron has absolutely no issue with playing along, matching Candy' enthusiasm with his own, jumping up and down in place. Is enthusiasm causes her to do the same thing, both of their faces of light with Christmas Joy while Fenris looks between them, back and forth.

Fenris: You're both nuts.

Candy notices that Fenris still isn't exactly feeling the Christmas spirit.

Candy: Don't move!

She takes a step off camera, rummaging through something, and then pops back on screen holding a plate with some decorated Christmas cookies on it. Snowmen, angels, candy cane... etc. Decorated with colored frosting and sprinkles, and the plate wrapped up tightly in plastic wrap. She holds it out to them.

Candy: Christmas cookies! They always do the trick! I baked em and decorated em myself using my grandma's bestest ever recipe!!!

Fenris for the first time during this interaction, cracks a smile. A small wisp of one.

Aron: There you go! My brother has a sweet tooth!

Candy: ME TOO!!! I had to make like... 6 batches cuz I just kept eating them! They are yummy! Take em! They are for you guys! And I got plenty more where that came from!!!

Seeing that Fenris still isn't having the reaction she had hoped, she hands the cookies to Aron and goes back offscreen and comes back with something in her hand. She then places over Fenris's nose a big old red Rudolph nose! After putting it on him she swiftly pokes it and it lights up. She smiles.

Candy: BOOP! Full of Christmas Cheer!!

Fenris jerks his head back, and looks almost comically cross-eyed at the light up nose Candy just placed on him. Aaron, meanwhile has all but seemingly lost his good cheer with what just happened. His eyes open wide and he takes one step back, then another... Getting out of Dodge as his brother's eyes narrow and his brow furrows into a dark frown...

(THE REMAINDER OF THIS SEGMENT HAS BEEN CENSORED DUE TO GRAPHIC LANGUAGE)

The cameras cut to the back to show Candy running down the hall. She stops and catches her breath.

Candy: OH MY! That was not full of Christmas Cheer!

She sets down the bag she was carrying and fixed her dress.

Candy: He is gonna be on the naughty list for a VERY LONG time!!!

She shuddered a little bit before she picked up the bag and continued off down the hall

Backstage, Despayre is busily guarding the special holiday themed Roulette wheel while at the same time, is on the look out for any babes out to steal a smooch! One of the many drawbacks of his incurable and irresistible machismo! Oh if only his dad had let him bring that suit of armor to the building to wear instead of his current getup;

His favorite Taz Christmas sweater and the usual oversized Santa hat. The fact that it had the pretty sprig of mistletoe on the tip of the white ball was completely lost to him. After all, presentation was very important!

Despayre: Hup! Two! Three! Four!

He marches back and forth in front of the wheel like a good soldier, the comically oversized candy cane slung over his shoulder. Suddenly he hears a noise and spins around, holding the candy cane out like a weapon!

Despayre: Who goes there!? State your business! What's the password? I know how to use this thing!

He creeps up along the wall and he slips around the corner for a peek, not seeing that Mackenzie Page and Charlotte Elliot are standing behind him.

Mackenzie: What are you doing Desp...?

Mackenzie taps him on the shoulder -- causing him to jump and shriek!

Despayre: AHH!

He practically throws the candy cane aside and jumps around into a series of comical karate poses, ending with the Crane kick pose! he then sees --

Despayre: Oh no!

TWO BABES!

Despayre: AHH!!!

And he takes off running, leaving a very confused Mackenzie and Charlotte behind!

We go backstage to see former Bombshell tag team champion Song. The crowd pops in shock to see her backstage. Song stands in front of the locker room of SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas. Song waves at the camera to address the fans at home and the crowd watching live in the arena. Song knocks at the locker room door.

Mercedes: Come in, Song.

Song looks shocked but opens the door. We see Mercedes watching the show on a flat screen TV mounted on the locker room wall.

Song:Merry Christmas, Mercedes Vargas.

Mercedes: Feliz Navidad, Song.

Song:I come with a Christmas gift for you, you know.

Mercedes looks at Song and sees nothing in her hands.

Mercedes: Yeah? And what would that be?

Song:Me, in a match when SCW returns in 2021. What do you say?

Mercedes chuckles at this random encounter with Song.

Mercedes: Suppose it could be fun to face you one on one.

Song:Great...

Mercedes: Wait, I don't think we can just make it happen but I won't turn it down if we get that match.

Song:Well I'll ask Mark Ward and if he says no, I'll kick his ass, you know!

Mercedes: Song and her jokes. You want a match, you got it. Just take to Mark or Christian and make it happen.

Song gets closer but stays 8 feet away from Mercedes to practice social distancing.

Song: I will. I've been wanting to face you for a while, I think it will be fun. I'm someone that will keep you on your toes, you know.

Mercedes: Okay, I'll give you that.

Song:The perfect opponent to get you ready for when you get your next shot a title or contendership match.

Mercedes: I wouldn't say all that.

Song:You don't have to because I already just said it, you know.

Mercedes: Fair enough, anything else?

Song:No, enjoy the holidays, see you in 2021.

Song leaves the locker room and closes the door. The cameras follow Song down the hallway. She shakes her head in laughter as she sees Kris leaning on the Black Sheeps locker room holding a brown paper bag.

Song: Hello Kris, happy holidays. I hope you have a great one, you know.

Kris: You too, Song. I heard you were coming by, so I got you a little something. I know I give you shit, and you deserve at least 73% of it. But this is for the 27% of the time you don't.

Song: Oh, what is it?

Kris steps towards Song as she extends her hands. Kris hands her the bag; Song puts her hand in and pulls out a six-pack of RC cola.

Song: Really? I appreciate the gift, you know I get it for free, right?

Kris: The RC isn't the gift; I know you get paid for holding their product on air, so I just got you paid.

Song: Nice! It's true; they now owe me $6,500, which is over 42,000 Chinese Yuan, you know!

Kris: A week-long vacation with $10,000 would be a shit load of fun. I would get myself in a lot of trouble with that much walking around money.

Song: Yes, you would.

Kris: Now enjoy that third-tier cola. Who knows, maybe next, you can move up in talent and soft drinks choice. Baby steps though Song, tier two with Pepsi by your side. That's what you should work on.

Song shakes her head at Kris.

Song: You're such an asshole.

Kris: Well, you know...

Kris says with a smirk and a shrug.

Song: You know, I love you, Kris, I mean it, you know! You bust on me every time I see you. I laugh it off because I know that's how you are with your buddies, you know. I'm sure you and your friends grew up busting each other's balls all day. Who can outwit the other. I walk these locker rooms, and people are short or don't bother with me. You, however, you treat me like you treat anyone else you know. You give it to me straight, and if you can fit in a ball-busting line, you would. I appreciate the fact that you can be yourself, and you know it doesn't bother me, so it allows you to treat me like one of your homies. But...

Song looks around

Song: Screw you and your Pepsi shit. That's nasty; I'll stay with my RC, thank you very much.

Kris: I'll bring you over to the money side of things at some point. You can't turn it down forever, Song... It was nice seeing you though. It's always pleasant. Happy holidays!

Kris gives her a wink before heading inside his locker room.

Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is a standard type match!!

"If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray begins to play across the building and the crowd turns with anticipation towards the entrance as "the White Wolf" Fenris emerges from behind the curtains with his younger brother at his side. As Aron looks on, Fenris stands stoically, looking out towards the capacity crowd before dropping to one knee with head bowed. He symbolically crosses his heart and looks 'up' in homage before standing upright and beginning his journey toward the ring with his brother following close behind.

Justin: Making his way toward the ring! Accompanied by Aron Baltasarsson, from Iceland, weighing two hundred and four pounds -- Fenris!

Despite the fans that reach out toward him, Fenris does not reciprocate and his attention is solely on the ring, whereas the smiling Aron good naturedly slaps a hand or two that extends toward him. Fenris climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron, turning towards the fans and extends his arms up and begins the 'Viking Clap.' Slowly but surely, despite any potential misgivings towards the young man, many fans join along with him in the Viking Clap. Aron holds the ropes for his brother, and Fenris steps through and continues the clap from one corner to the next, drawing in the energy of the crowd. Joined by Aron, Fenris returns to his own corner and paces like a wolf stalking his prey, kicking off his slippers to compete barefoot as the claps slowly subside.

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. 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.

Justin: Standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 240 pounds!! Bill Barnhart!!!!

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang as two very decorative wrestlers are standing face to face once more in quite some time. The veteran Bill Barnhart against former World Champion and for a while often considered unbeatable Fenris. The two stare at each other as Jasmine calls them to the middle of the ring as she explains the rules to the match. After explaining she asks if both men understand and both nod to her while not taking their eyes off of each other for the whole entirety.

Adams: Can you feel the tension???

Simone: I sure can Jason, these two have been wanting to get in the ring with each other for quite some time and now it's finally going to happen.

Jasmine tells both men to shake each other hands as Fenris lifts his hand to meet Bill's, who just gives Fenris a fist bump into his chest before backing off. Fenris looks at Bill and nods approvingly as a smile emerges upon his face as either man get to their corner and await Jasmine to tell them that they need to fight. Bill gets out of his corner and stands in the middle of the ring, staring towards his slightly smaller opponent. Both men are hesitant to make a quick move, respecting each others abilities as neither man does not want to make the first mistake.

Simone: Both men has had quite some words towards each other this past week, yet both respect each other's abilities.

Adams: True, both men know that the other can knock you out in an instant and that's something neither man want

Bill extends his arm, opening his hand as he gestures Fenris to tie each other up in a classic test of strength. Fenris looks at Bill before turning his attention to the fans, who are cheering him on to do it as others boo because they do not trust Bill. A smile on his face tells it all, Fenris extends his hand as both finger tips touch each other before Bill pulls away. He wipes his hand off of on his pink attire before extending his hand again.

Adams: Before people assume Bill chickened out on his own challenge, he sure did not. You do not want sweaty palms when you lock hands in a test of strength

Fenris responds by doing the same, he extends his hand gently and both hands touch and their fingers lock with each other. Soon they do the same with the other hands and both men press each other's chests against each other in a test of strength as well as finding the right spot for leverage. Neither man is willing to give in to the other as neither man budges while trying to gain some momentum.

Simone: Already early in the match both men are spending lots of energy, merely to get the upper hand on the other.

Adams: That's true, to you viewers this may look like nothing special. It's basically calling for every muscle in your body to try and get the upper hand on the other. One slip up and your down.

Bill pulls away before slamming his massive chest back into that of Fenris, using his weight and height advantage in an attempt to get a momentum over his opponent. He manages to lift his hands upwards as that forces Fenris to extend his arms higher in the air as well as Bill manages to push the hands of Fenris downwards. Forcing more pressure on the former champion as his powerful legs start to show some signs of instability.

Simone: It seems like that Bill is getting the upper hand at this moment!!!

Bill uses his strength and weight advantage on Fenris as he pushes the man down further and further until Fenris gets to his knees and Bill puts all the pressure on the hands as their fingers continue to be locked into each other. Bill is screaming at the arena as he is feeling confident in the one on one confrontation that he has the upper hand as Jasmine asks Fenris if he is capable to continue the match.

Adams: That would be a first to see this man tell an official that he wants the match to be stopped.

Fenris indeed shakes his head in a clear no, fighting the pressure that Bill has put on him as he slowly manages to get one leg upwards to his feet as he hears the roaring from the fans giving him some much needed extra motivation as he slowly manages to get his other leg off the kneeling position back to a standing one.

Simone: He is making a well needed comeback!!

Bill's face shows concern as he feels the power through the body of his opponent using to get him back to his feet and slowly push Bill down to a kneeling position that Fenris was in moments ago. Bill struggles to keep his knees off the canvas, but eventually has to succumb to the strength of Fenris and is on his knees to endure the painful treatment that he put Fenris on. On the outside we see Bea clapping on to motivate her husband to get back into the fight as her husband slowly gets one leg back to a somehow shaking but standing position. We can see on the anguish on the face of Bill that it is taking him quite some energy to get back to a standing position. But then he surprises Fenris by suddenly letting go and wrapping his arms around his waist for a Belly to Belly suplex as this catches the former champ completely in surprise.

Simone: What sudden quickness from the Bulldog!!!

Bill quickly gets to his feet and goes for a cover, placing his forearm across the face of Fenris as he hooks one of his legs with the other arm

ONE!

TWO!

Fenris gets his shoulder up on time, causing Bill to immediately grab Fenris by the hair and drives massive forearms into the face of the former champ. Listening to the five count that Jasmine puts on him as the veteran lets go just moments before the five count could be administered. Bill ignores the warnings off Jasmine as he grabs Fenris by the hair once more and lifts him up for a slam and drops him hard on his back. Fenris sits up in pain before Bill grabs him by the head with one hand and sends hard elbows to the forehead of Fenris. He then follows it up with driving his knee into the spine of Fenris as he locks his hands around the chin of the former champ and sinks it in deep as Jasmine checks in on the wellbeing of Fenris.

Simone: These blows are what you would expect from Fenris with his MMA background, shows you to what lengths Bill is willing to go to beat Fenris.

Adams: Can you imagine the gloats of the Bulldog?? Telling the world that he beat Fenris in his own game????

But Fenris is not done yet, his arms extended high in the air as he reaches out for something but is unable to get to. He suddenly grabs both hands from Bill as in an attempt to break the hold that he has on Fenris. The powerful hands pry on the fingers of the veteran and slowly manages to unlock them as Fenris slowly gets to his feet while still having his back turned to Bill. Bill wraps his arms around the waist of Fenris and setting him up for an overhead released German Suplex, but this time Fenris has him beat. He locks his legs behind the ones of Bill as that stops the momentum of the veteran before rolling through and forces Bill to fall forwards as Fenris manages to get behind Bill and locks his left leg in a standing ankle lock submission hold. Causing Bill's eyes to grow wide as the shot of the camera zooms in on the unsuspected face of the veteran.

Simone: I bet Bill had not expected that counter from Fenris!!!

Fenris drops down and wraps his legs around the one leg of Bill in a scissors hold, wanting to put more and more pressure on the single leg of Bill in an attempt to make him tap out. But Bill's arms are too near to the ropes as that forces Jasmine to demand Fenris to break the hold he has on Bill. Fenris rolls backwards after releasing the hold and gets to his feet, measuring Bill as he slowly stumbles over to his feet and turns around. There Bill walks straight into a round house kick before executing an Exploder Suplex and goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THR...

Bill manages to get a shoulder off the canvas as that stops the three count, But Fenris is relentless as he is sensing victory. He immediately gets on top of Bill and starts to deliver striking blows towards the face and body of Bill, who is trying to cover up as much as possible to protect him. Fenris blasts through the defence of Bill who attempts to cover up his face and delivers series of forearm shots, as a payback to what Bill had done earlier in the match as that causes Bill his face to bust wide open. Fenris gets up and measures Bill in the corner as the veteran is stirring slowly, trying to get to his hands and knees.

Simone: Uh oh.....

Fenris charges in on Bill as he sets him up for a Knshasa strike as that hits the veteran hard against the face. He immediately covers Bill for the three count.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE....

Adams: NO!!!!!

Somehow Bill has managed to get his leg upon the bottom rope as that forces Jasmine to stop the three count as Fenris looks at her in complete and utter shock.

Simone: How in the hell did Bill kick out of that one!!!

Fenris gets up and starts to ask whether it was a three count or not, where Jasmine tells him that it was a count of two. This causes Fenris to close his eyes for a few moments as he puts his hands to his face and runs it across his face before he is about to turn around.

Simone: Behind you!!!

The sudden distraction has caused Bill to get to his feet and wraps a sleeper hold on Fenris from behind. Putting all of his weight across the neck of Fenris as this causes him to slowly fade to one knee as Bill locks the hold in tighter. Fenris lifts his arms upwards and drives them across the temples of Bill's head as that causes him to let go off the hold. Bill staggers backwards as Fenris charges in on him with a running high knee but to his surprise Bill manages to catch him by the knee and drops Fenris on his back before rolling him over on his stomach while still holding on to the knee as he sets him up for a single leg boston crab

Adams: WOW!!!!

The crowd is ecstatic over the moves that both men put on each other as Bill is now sitting deep on Fenris his back while holding on to the knee. Fenris is reaching over towards the ropes as Jasmine is checking in on him.

Simone: Will this be it????

Fenris finally manages to grab the bottom rope as this causes Jasmine to force Bill to let go as he maintains the grip as she starts to use the five count

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Bill lets go off the hold before the count of five as he grabs the head of Fenris and sets him up for the Piledriver. Bill lifts him up, but Fenris manages to swift his weight to a point that Bill cannot get him up in the air. Bill blasts Fenris across the back with a double axhandle before setting him up for a Powerbomb. But just when Bill lifts Fenris up in the air, it is the former champ that manages to reverse it into a Triangle Choke as this causes the fans to explode

Simone: Will this be it?

Bill is struggling to get out of the hold but is fading quickly as Fenris locks in the hold even tighter. Causing Bill to drop down as Jasmine checks on him as she notices that he is out of it before calling for he bell.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match by submission!! Fenris!!!

Fenris falls on his back as both men are down, the officials check on both of them before Fenris slowly rolls out of the ring and heads to the back.

The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to the sight of four women sitting in front of a camera. One of them is clad in a Santa Claus t shirt while the other three women are clad in green Santa Little Helpers shirts. The one in the red shirt smiles as she looks right into the camera.

Diamond: Cheers to everyone...I was born in Berkshire. England. My name is Kath-Lyn Elizabeth Steele-Warren and I am best known as Diamond Steele. I am Half English and Half Scottish.

Ruby: I am Prudence Amelia Steele and I am best known to you all as the dancing sensation, the queen of OUTRAGEOUS, the only loveable OVER THE TOP FEMALE in SCW Ruby Steele. I was born in London, England. I am Half Welsh and Half English.

Sapphire: You say over the top but we prefer to say you are completely BONKERS...

Diamond: Cheers... I think every time Ruby comes into the room I either want to leg it or get completely plastered.

Sapphire: Nothing wrong with getting trollied. Every time my sister opens her mouth it leaves us all gobsmacked...

Ruby: Can you all stop making fun of me... I am getting knackered hearing you all make fun of me!

Diamond: I guess we can carry on with this behind the wrestlers best of 2020 thing. No need to take the piss out of my cousin. Anyway carry on...

Sapphire: Anyway my name is Phoebe Wentworth... I am from Manchester, England... I am a sister to Ruby through our mother. I am half English, and half Welsh... I am better known as Sapphire the lead guitarist of the Gem Stones.

All of the girls just laugh as the final girl begins to speak.

Emerald: And my name is Penelope McAdams I am better known as Emerald and I am the drummer of the band. I can say that I am not related to any of them. Just a family friend of Sapphire's, I am from Glasgow, Scotland.

Diamond nods her head as she continues to speak.

Diamond: Anyway together that makes us the Gem Stones! I think 2020 has been an amazing year but our journey of getting into the industry starts at 2019...

Sapphire: Oh God... It feels like it was bloody yesterday when we got the phone call from Teddy and Kate to try our hand of entering into the wrestling business. I know I was completely skint and I needed some quid... University had run me dry. So they called us up to get into the business playing the role of Teddy's female girlfriends in his war with his wife and being the most hated of the year.

Ruby: For the record it's all rubbish. None of us have ever touched my cousin's man. That sounds disgusting. We just played a role and Kate just wanted us to get into the limelight so we can get paid.

Emerald: Great times...Although it was great to deck him in the face at the beginning of the year right?!

Diamond laughs as she shakes her head.

Diamond: There were some good moments this year going way back to my run as Internet Champion and really playing the role of the little bottled up firecracker, but we don't have to be a bunch of wankers and put ourselves over. The fans want to know what the Gem Stones favourite moment of the year is and honestly I just want to talk up one single individual and that is Evie Jordan...

Ruby: Evie Jordan where do we even start?!

Diamond: Evie has been nothing less but perfect this year. She really plays her role really well... I know there seems to be some issues with many of the women backstage that she is only where she is at because of who she is in bed with but that's a bunch of rubbish.

Ruby: Blimey she is a cracking wrestler ain't she?! The way she played up not knowing to be in the Blast From The Past to win the whole thing and go on to win the championship!

Diamond: Cheers mate... I am real happy the two of us could share the ring. She's is a tremendous competitor and she doesn't get enough credit for what she can do. I loved her rise and to see her end our feud by doing a submission is completely British. I know on television we might play vicious enemies but behind the scenes she's actually a sweetheart. An animal lover and one of the kindest people you could meet.

Sapphire: Perhaps we could check with Ben to see if he feels the same about her behind the scenes.

Emerald: It was also amazing to have a huge part of that brutal match. Good job to everyone...

Ruby: It was also good to see Teddy piss on himself the fans were loving it...

Diamond shakes her head.

Diamond: It was a balloon... Seriously we have special effects and my husband would never do that although the entire reason why my husband and James fought to begin with is because I made a wager over a boxing match between Fury and Wilder...

Sapphire: And you went against our countryman?!

Diamond: I AM MARRIED TO AN AMERICAN!!!! Anyway cheers to all we are the Gem Stones 2021 will be amazing especially the bombshell division with new women such as Royal Purple...

Ruby: AHEM!!

Sapphire: Tempest!

Ruby: Guys you are forgetting something...

Emerald: Krystal Wolfe!

Ruby: YOU FORGOT SOMEONE...

Diamond: Fine and my annoying little cousin... Anyway SCW I look forward to next year. I know the fans will always love it and hopefully we can kick this virus in it's arse so we can go back to full arenas with all of the SCW Universe. Anyway keep watching everyone... Merry Christimas, and a prosperous New Year. Tell your loved ones you appreciate them, and we thank Mark and Christian for all they do.

Gem Stones: MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!

The cameras cut to the back where Candy was standing outside the door to the office of Mark Ward. She knocked on the door a few times. Hot Stuff opens the door, clearly on his way somewhere else when he looks up at Candy

HS: C....

As soon as the door was open, Candy smiled and began singing

Candy: Rudolph the red nosed reindeer! Had a very shiny nose! And if you ever saw it! You would even say it glows!

HS: Whoa there. I know I should easily figure this one out, but what's going on here?

Candy: I'm singing Christmas Carols to get the locker room in the Christmas Spirit. You know what they say. The fastest way to spread Christmas Cheer... is singing loud for all to hear!

HS: Well you're singing loud enough to hear you at ringside.

Candy then begins singing loudly once more

Candy: JINGLE BELL JINGLE BELL JINGLE BELL ROCK! JINGLE BELL CHIME AND JINGLE BELL TIME!!

She then began to walk off down the hall, singing loudly. Hot Stuff slowly shakes his head and looks in the direction Candy walked off in.

HS: Aw nuts, I gotta go in that direction... Maybe I'll take the long way around. Still, at least someone is happy around this place.

Hot Stuff turns around and walks in the opposite direction as Candy's voice can be heard singing down the hallway in the distance.

The scene turns to the backstage area, and Daniel Morgan sits in the chair other SCW superstars have tonight to talk about his memories of 2020.

Daniel: Good evening SCW fans. I got asked to speak to you about my best SCW memories of 2020.

Daniel leans back in the chair, his calmness filling the room.

Daniel: Well frankly, we didn't exactly set the wrestling world on fire in 2020, but we do have a great memory.

He waits for a few seconds.

Daniel: When the tour was abandoned and the picture of the state of the world had become clearer. Christian Underwood sat there and had a chat with us about business. He was no mug, he knew this was a tough time and gave us time away to sort out the many assets we have all over the place, on condition that if we could make The Golden Ring Casino safe, he'll host Supercards there. He kept his word, so my best memory of 2020 was hosting big supercards at The Golden Ring Casino. Seeing those people you don't see too much outside of work, so yeah, that would be it. This time next year though, be many different things to talk about.

Daniel straightens up his suit jacket.

Daniel: Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year.

Daniel stands up as the cameras go somewhere else.

We cut backstage to find Aron Baltasarsson walking backstage looking at his phone flicking through messages, he stops and looks at a door before putting his phone in his pocket and entering the room. After a few moments and scuffling noises the door flies open and Aron hits the hard concrete.

Adams: Hey what.....what happened there?

Simone: That's...Aron Baltasarsson, the brother of Fenris...

Adams: I don't like this at all...

Aron lays there for a moment breathing heavily as Austin James Mercer steps out of the room, dressed in a suit with the top button of his shirt undone Austin slowly unbuttons his jacket and drapes it over a chair before undoing his cuffs and rolling up his sleeves.

Austin James Mercer: I said, that messages would be sent tonight. And I warned your brother Aron, I did. But he just didn't learn that he needs to stay out of my business.

Austin steps forward and hits a vicious sound right hand to Aron, and another and another before then kicking him in the ribs. Austin looks over to see the cameraman with a smirk before calmly walking over and taking the camera from the employee and setting it down on a table, he leans down and pulls Aron up by his head and neck, blood trickling from a cut as Austin holds him by the shirt tearing his suit and holding Aron right infront of the camera.

Simone: Austin has busted open Arons head.

Adams: Fenris is going to be livid! But can we get help for Aron Baltasarsson backstage?

Austin James Mercer: Do I have your attention Fenris?. Do I?. This is just the first of many, many bad things that will happen to you, your brother and anyone else you hold dear. You stepped in my business, you got in my face. So this, and take a good long look at your brother....this is on you...

Austin lets Aron drop as he backs up, finally some SCW officials arrive on the scene, Austin simply rolls his sleeves back down, does up the buttons on them and picks up his jacket dusting it off and putting it back on before letting out a large sigh..

Austin James Mercer: Good talk Aron....

He lets out a chuckle and walks past the scene as we cut to a commercial break.

An image of Sam Marlowe in a Santa suit appears on the screen smiling as she leans close.

Sam Marlowe: Christmas is coming and with it being a rather different kind os Christmas where we have to celebrate virtually, I am putting it out there...Come join me for a virtual Christmas party. Watch Twitter for the announcement where you can take part in my Hardcandy Christmas virtual Christmas party.

Waving a candy cane like a wand, Sam disappears into a shower of sparkles leaving a Sam's Hard Candy Christmas Party logo in red and green.

Vinnie can be seen backstage combing his hair as Bea is standing next to him, ready to walk him to the ring a bit later on.

Bea: You sure that you are okay Vin??

Vinnie looks at her and raises an eyebrow.

Vinnie: Yes of course, why would you ask???

Bea: Well you did manage to win by using your cologne against Alex Jones, we both know he is someone that will retaliate sooner or later

Vinnie rolls his eyes and chuckles

Vinnie: You see Bea, that's the difference between him and me. He is fumed with revenge on his mind, while yours truly?? I just own him. But let him try okay???

With that he grins before putting on the sunglasses and turns towards the camera and closes the door.

---

Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen our next match is a Standard Rules match with a win by pinfall, submission, knockout, or count out. First to make their way to the ring, from Tijuana, Mexico, standing in at six feet eight inches and weighing two hundred eighty pounds, please give a great Las Vegas welcome for SENOR VINNIE!!!

The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of 6 Mariachi players come out to the arena all playing a guitar. They start to play Cancion del Mariachi as all of them start to sing while walking down the ramp way. Halfway they stop and three walk to the left and the other three to the right as they stand face to face before Senor Vinnie walk out to the arena. He is sporting expensive sunglasses and a sweater around his neck and carrying an atomizer. He sprays some of his cologne in the air and sniffs it up as if not wanting to smell the foul air around him. He stops as we see Bea Barnhart walk out to accompany him to the ring before the two continue their strut. Vinnie and Bea then walk to the ring as Vinnie holds the rope open for her as she steps through. He then steps through the ropes himself and hands her the cologne that he carries with him before posing a few moments before waiting for Agostino Romano.

Simone: I'm sure Vinnie and Bea are looking forward to this match. Vinnie loves dishing out punishment, and Bea loves to make sure opponents of Vinnie and Bill play by the rules so she will take care of James Brown should he try to get involved in this match for the benefit of Agostino.

Adams: James isn't going to interfere in this match unless Bea does first so he would be working to prevent her from interfering. Also although Agostino Romano is smaller and lighter he has endured enough crashes and bruises during motorcycle racing to take whatever Senor Vinnie has to offer.

Justin: Next to make their way to the ring, from Milan, Italy, standing in at five feet nine inches and two hundred fifteen pounds, please give a great Las Vegas welcome for AGOSTINO ROMANO!!!

Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the curtain, wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him. Agostino does high fives to the crowd before seeing a kid in the front row which he pulls funny faces at along with giving them a hat from his Global Bike Championship days. He then walks to the ring, climbs the ring steps, then ducks through the ropes into the ring, where he plays the fans for more cheering while James claps from outside of the ring. When Agostino turns around to face Senor Vinnie he sees Vinnie clapping slowly and sarcastically which makes Agostino irritated.

Adams: I noticed that Agostino got a great reception from the crowd. Wonder how much Agostino getting a nice reception and Vinnie getting mostly boos will affect Vinnie.

Simone: That doesn't affect Vinnie at all.

Adams: I know what you will say but I feel although Vinnie has a bit of a height and weight advantage over Agostino that Romano with his agility and quickness will neutralize any so-called advantage Vinnie has in the height and weight category.

Simone: You must be on some heavy medication, Jason, as you are hallucinating.

Referee Dawn Barnes calls the wrestlers to join her in the middle of the ring. She indicates the winner will be by pinfall, submission, count out, or knockout. Referee Barnes checks both wrestlers to ensure they don't have weapons, foreign objects, or forbidden substances on them, and when she is satisfied both are clean she sends them back to their corners to wait for the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start the match.

DING DING DING!

At the sound of the bell Agostino Romano flies out of his corner toward Senor Vinnie while Vinnie is looking around at the crowd. As Agostino approaches Vinnie looks in his direction then spins out of the corner causing Romano to miss him and hit the corner ropes instead. Vinnie is quick to grab Agostino around the waist and lift him over his head for a suplex. Romano lands hard on the mat and Senor Vinnie dives on top of him for the pin.

ONE!

Before Referee Barnes can get a two count on the pin Agostino kicks out and rolls to the side then quickly gets to his feet.

Simone: Nice to see Vinnie going for a pin early in the match. Stuff like that is intimidating to opponents.

Adams: Agostino Romano doesn't get intimidated easily and him kicking out of the pin attempt and then quickly getting to his feet proves my point.

Agostino reaches out his hand to shake Vinnie's hand in appreciation of the move Vinnie put on him. Vinnie reluctantly shakes the hand of Agostino but quickly lets go of his hand not knowing if Romano was going to try something sneaky.

Adams: It is very telling when a wrestler shows appreciation to their opponent for executing a good move and their opponent thinks they are up to dirty tactics.

Simone: My philosophy is to never trust anyone as everyone is capable of dirty tricks.

Vinnie and Agostino lock up and Vinnie gets Agostino in a Full Nelson but Agostino digs in with his legs and drives his feet into the mat enabling him to push Vinnie back into the ropes. When the two hit the ropes Vinnie maintains his Full Nelson but Agostino manages to drop down and lean forward causing Vinnie to be tossed over his head to the mat where Vinnie slams his face into the mat. Agostino leaps on top of Vinnie and locks him in a Crossface. Referee Dawn Barnes steps in to ask Vinnie if he wants to submit and Vinnie yells out HELL NO so she lets the match continue.

Adams: I think Vinnie is going to submit. That Crossface by Agostino is locked in tightly and Vinnie is too far from the ropes to get a call for a break.

Simone: Why would Vinnie submit to this hold when he's been in worse situations and came out of it on top?

Referee Dawn Barnes again steps up to ask Senor Vinnie if he wants to submit and again he tells her HELL NO. She checks the hold to ensure it doesn't slip into an illegal hold and while she is checking the hold Bea starts yelling at Referee Barnes that James Brown is trying to get into the ring to interfere in the match. The moment the Referee turns around and starts admonishing James, who is rightfully professing his innocence, Bea throws the spray bottle of Vinnie's cologne into the ring toward him. Senor Vinnie grabs the bottle of cologne, turns the sprayer back over his head, and sprays it into the face of Agostino Romano and it stings his eyes badly enough for him to release the Crossface. Vinnie quickly throws the bottle of cologne across the ring where is slides under the bottom ropes and into the grasp of Bea who returns it to the arena floor where the Referee cannot see it.

Adams: I told you so! As soon as the Referee was distracted Bea got involved and the Referee failed to see it!

Simone: It wasn't just the Referee who didn't see what you claim happened. I didn't see anything illegal or suspicious.

Referee Dawn Barnes turns around to face the wrestlers and she sees Agostino thrashing around on the mat clawing at his eyes and trying to wipe the cologne off his face. Referee Barnes hears Romano claim that a foreign substance was sprayed into his eyes by Vinnie but when she questions Vinnie is disavows anything that Agostino is complaining about. Referee Barnes then calls to Bea who also denies anything happened and she holds her arms high with open hands proving she has nothing in her hands.

Adams: I expected Vinnie to do this match fairly and legally but I guess that was just too much to ask.

Simone: I don't remember you asking Vinnie that.

James Brown walks around the ring and he approached Bea to confront her over the bottle of perfume thing. Bea sees James coming so she uses her foot to kick the spray bottle of cologne a short distance from the ring. We then see Iris, her English Bulldog, run to ringside, pick up the bottle of cologne, then Iris quickly runs off into the backstage area just as James Brown arrives where Bea is standing. James and Bea get into an argument with James accusing Bea of interfering in the match and Bea denying any interference. The confrontation on the outside of the ring causes Senor Vinnie to slide out of the ring and get between Bea and James to calm both of them down. Referee Barnes begins a count on Vinnie due to him being on the outside of the ring.

ONE!

James turns away from Bea to begin his walk back to his corner but Vinnie follows him mouthing off at him.

TWO!

At the next ring post James and Vinnie stop and face each other and continue arguing with Vinnie having his back to the ring and James facing Vinnie where he can see what is going on inside the ring.

THREE!

While Vinnie and James continue arguing at ringside Agostino has recovered and when he sees Vinnie arguing with James he becomes upset and he walks to that corner.

FOUR!

Romano climbs the corner ropes and when he gets to the top he stands tall and. . .

FIVE!

Simone: What in the world is Agostino doing?

Adams: I believe he's going to.

Before Jason Adams can finish his sentence Agostino Romano leaps off the top corner ropes with a Moonsault to the outside of the ring. James dives out of the way when he sees Romano leap off the ropes. Vinnie turns around and is hit with the Moonsault by Agostino. Vinnie crashes to the arena floor while Agostino landed well and he gets to his feet and starts his return inside the ring. Referee Barnes stops her count on Vinnie due to the action by Agostino.

Adams: I was going to say I believe he's going to do a Moonsault on Vinnie but he did it so quickly I couldn't finish my sentence.

Referee Dawn Barnes warns Agostino Romano for his violation of the rules and Agostino replies to her that Vinnie and Bea started the rule-breaking. Referee Barnes reminds Romano that she didn't see the infraction Agostino is talking about. She then orders Romano to stay back to allow Vinnie to return inside the ring while she starts a count on Vinnie who is still on the outside of the ring again.

ONE!

TWO!

Vinnie is on his feet and walking toward the ring steps.

THREE!

Senor Vinnie walks up the ring steps and then along the ring apron

FOUR!

Seeing that Agostino Romano is staying back Senor Vinnie steps through the ropes into the ring and Referee Barnes stops her count on him.

Adams: I believe if Agostino had stayed inside the ring he would have gotten the count out win against Vinnie.

Simone: I guess showboating was more important than getting the win on a count out for Agostino. Although he was hit with that Moonsault Vinnie, being in such great shape, was able to get back on his feet and back into the ring.

The look on Vinnie's face indicates he's ready to end this match. When Agostino charges him Senor Vinnie fends off the attack then grabs onto Romano whipping him hard into the ropes where he lands a boot to the face of Agostino when he comes off the ropes. Romano drops to the mat but is quick to get to his feet where Vinnie again whips him into the ropes and again hits him in the face with a boot to the face. This time when Agostino drops to the mat Vinnie dives on top of him and locks in his Rings of Mariachi submission hold. Vinnie has it locked in tightly. With the two wrestlers in the middle of the ring, where Romano cannot reach out to the ropes for a break, as soon as Referee Barnes steps in to ask Agostino if he wants to submit he says YES and she calls for the bell to end the match.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Dang!

Simone: Double Dang!

Referee Barnes orders Vinnie to release the hold and he does so. He gets to his feet and raises his arms in victory.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match, by submission, SENOR VINNIE!!!

Referee Dawn Barnes raises Vinnie's hand in victory. When she releases his hand Senor Vinnie exits the ring, meets up with Bea, and the two strut to the backstage area. Back in the ring Agostino Romano is up on his feet and he slowly makes his way out of the ring to return to the backstage area.

Austin James Mercer pushes the back door open and leaves the arena, his suitcase wheeling behind him as Pussy Willow and a SCW cameraman follow fast to try and stop him.

Adams: Hey Austin is leaving already!, the show hasn't finished

Simone: I...don't think he cares Jason

Pussy Willow: Austin!....AUSTIN!...HEY WAIT!

She follows him out and down to a large black SUV, Austin loads his suitcase into the back and opens the passenger side as Pussy comes right up to the door grabbing it.

Pussy Willow: Austin where are you going?. The show hasn't finished and we wanted to get a word to you after what you do to Aron Ba-

Austin James Mercer: I have nothing to say about the messages I sent tonight Pussy, as I think my actions speak loud....

He gets into the passenger seat and leans out the window..

Austin James Mercer: And as for where I'm going? Home. To see my wife, my sister, my nephew and my children....Merry Christmas Pussy.

Adams: He's just...leaving?

The black SUV drives off into the night leaving a bewildered Pussy Willow standing in the cold.

SCW's newest and resident amazonian Bombshell, Tempest, is sitting on the vacant chair and she gazes 'upward' and shakes her head and sighs.

Tempest: I'm not usually the holiday type, but this does go beyond that. What am I thankful for?

She looks straight at the camera.

Tempest: For Gabriel and Odette. For them taking a chance on someone that wasn't the cookie cutter version of your typical Bombshell. And for Mark Ward and Christian Underwood agreeing enough to sign me onto SCW's roster to see what I can bring for them.

The scene opens up with Keira hold her World Bombshell Championship as she puts on a smile. She then says

Keira: I know 2020 has been pretty crap. But this is the one time of the year where you can spend time with your family....even if it's on a Zoom Call.

Keira sighs a bit, saying

Keira: But always remember. There's always hope at the end of the tunnel. So have a Happy Holiday and we'll see you in 2021!

The scene fades on that

Backstage, Pussy Willow stands by SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas for an interview segment.

Pussy Willow: Mercedes, tonight you're facing Kiera Fisher-Johnson in a non-title. Now, Keira is just coming off her title defense against Roxi Jo -.

Mercedes silences the interviewer with a raised hand.

Mercedes: PW, I want you to shut it. As a matter of fact, I'm taking over this interview, so you stand over there, and let ME do the talking.

Without warning, Mercedes rips the microphone away from Pussy Willow as the camera focuses on Mercedes.

Mercedes: Keira, I hope you enjoy these last few weeks. I'm almost sure the holidays will be that much sweeter because you'll still be champ for the rest of the year and into the new year. You should be grateful that Christian Underwood isn't putting the title on the line tonight because these fickle fans sure would hate to see me walk out a three-time world champion, and a 13-time champion at your expense. You wouldn't want this Grinch to steal your Christmas.

For a moment the smile returns to her face while running her fingers through her hair.

Mercedes: What happened at High Stakes, that wasn't a celebration. The streamers, the banners, all of it? That was just a show. What happened three weeks ago wasn't you proving that if you believe in yourself you could accomplish anything. No, Keira, what you really proved is that ANYONE could be World Bombshell Champion. You had a Salco moment. People like Seleana Zdunich forever has an asterisk next to her name in the record books because she couldn't win the World Bombshell Championship by herself. Caleb Storms can luck into being given championships because he puts the pathetic in sympathetic. Even Amy Santino could win a lottery to become number one contender and then win the World Bombshell Championship because of a bias referee. Would be funny if it wasn't true. Turns out, it really did happen. But Seleana, Caleb, or Amy wouldn't care about how they won, they still became champion.

Mercedes raises her index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.

Mercedes: Beyond whatever happens tonight, Keira, whether you beat me or not, it won't change the fact that you are a poverty champion. Seeing your name on promotional material is a joke. You were never world champion material in Ladies All-Star Wrestling back then and you're not world champion material in Sin City Wrestling now. Being world champion is a little above your paygrade, chickadee. And no matter if Christian or Mark let you off easy with a few manageable defenses, what happened last week when you retained by the skin of your teeth against Roxi, you'll be lucky if you're still champion by the first supercard.

Her tone's painfully cold. No need to mince words.

Mercedes: Take a picture while you still have that title, Keira. It will last longer than your reign will ever be.

Mercedes makes a camera gesture.

Mercedes: Long before you knew, and long after you'll remember.

Jamie Dean, former World Tag Team Champion and perpetual sexual harasser of Ben Jordan, stands inside of his and Ben's project of the heart -- Oasis -- the homeless shelter for gay teens. The shelter has been decorated appropriately with garland and lights, and a tree surrounded by lots of elaborately wrapped gifts and packages.

Jamie stands in the center of the Oasis kids, his arms wrapped around the shoulders of the two at his sides.

Jamie Dean: Personally speaking, my favorite memory of 2020 is each and every time Ben Jordan pays a visit to these kids. Those packages you see behind you? For the kids -- from Ben. An angel of a man, making sure these kids have something to unwrap on that special morning of mornings. Just because Ben doesn't make an announcement every time he comes to LA to see these kids, doesn't mean it's not happening. That -- is the true mark of a charitable heart. And Ben has that. Merry Christmas Ben!

The kids join in and wave at the camera.

Kids: Merry Christmas!

Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall and is a non-title match up... introducing first...

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: Making her way to the ring from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!

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 where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponent to arrive.

Justin: And her opponent... hailing from Miami, Florida... Keira Fisher-Johnson...

"Like a Phoenix" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage is seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the ring. She slaps a few fans hands as she slides in. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she waits for the match to begin.

The ref moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

With the bell rung... Fisher-Johnson stays in the corner watching Vargas and Vargas watches Fisher-Johnson as they both wait for each other to make a move. Vargas ushers Fisher-Johnson to come at her, as Fisher-Johnson rises up and then charges in and hits a running dropkick to Vargas' chest sending her backwards against the rope before dropping down to the mat a little stunned and dazed, as Fisher-Johnson climbs the ropes to the top but Vargas quickly from herself from the ring to the outside. Fisher-Johnson climbs off the turnbuckle before turning and bouncing off the ropes and diving up and over with a plancha onto Vargas, which takes her out as Fisher-Johnson quickly climbs to her feet.

Simone: Keira flying out of the corner and directly hits a dropkick to Vargas; catching her almost off guard, as Keira looks to go high risk, but Vargas bails from the ring but Keira isn't put off and she turns and hits one set of ropes and leaps over the rope with a plancha.

Adams: Certainly a quick start to this match.

Fisher-Johnson looks at Vargas as she soaks in the fan's cheers, as Vargas climbs back to her feet and stumbles away, but Fisher-Johnson begins to follow and grabs her and throws her back into the ring, which Fisher-Johnson follows close behind. Fisher-Johnson and Vargas climb to their feet, as Vargas cowers away as Fisher-Johnson approaches but when Fisher-Johnson gets close enough, Vargas boots Fisher-Johnson in the chest.

Adams: Keira is back to her feet, as she soaks in the cheers from fans before returning her focus back to Vargas and she grabs her before rolling her back into the ring and climbing in behind her, where they both climb to their feet.

Simone: Vargas comes back with a kick to Fisher-Johnson's chest.

Fisher-Johnson holds her chest, as Vargas grabs a hand and pushes Fisher-Johnson backwards before whipping her into corner, but Fisher-Johnson merely responds back with a dropkick to the knee. Vargas rolls away holding her leg. Fisher-Johnson looks on with a smirk as she makes her way to feet, as Vargas does the same thing as she uses the ropes to pull herself up and take a few limping steps as Fisher-Johnson approaches and kicks the back of Vargas' knee and sends her back down to the mat.

Adams: What a dropkick to the knee from Fisher-Johnson as she counters and rebound.

Simone: Fisher-Johnson follows up with a kick to the back of Vargas' knee.

Adams: Which is a good plan to Vargas grounded.

Fisher-Johnson watches Vargas, who crawls/stumbles away from her but it isn't far away and she gets to feet but Fisher-Johnson again kicks Vargas' leg and sends her back down to the mat and again Vargas clutches her knee as she moves to the corner, as she uses the ropes to pull herself up but Fisher-Johnson helps further before grabbing Vargas' leg but Vargas stops Fisher-Johnson from inflicting any further damaged by shoving her away, but Fisher-Johnson isn't put off and she moves back in and Vargas gets a foot up and again Fisher-Johnson catches it and kicks the back of Vargas' knee before following up by hanging Vargas' foot on the ropes and then leaps up and drops down on the back of Vargas' knee.

Simone: Fisher-Johnson is being vicious here, as she works over the knee making sure Vargas doesn't fly around too much.

Vargas drops to the mat holding her knee, as Keira moves towards her, but Vargas rolls herself from the ring to the mat outside, where she holds her knee. Fisher-Johnson climbs through the ropes to go after Vargas, Vargas however moves forward and grabs one of Fisher-Johnson lefts and yanks it out from underneath her and Fisher-Johnson lands backwards hard against the apron before rolling off and landing on the mat, as she drops to a single knee as she gasps for air.

Adams: Vargas bails from the ring to avoid further injury, but against Fisher-Johnson goes after Vargas but she is stopped in her tracks as Vargas yanks Fisher-Johnsons leg from underneath her and she goes crashing onto the apron.

Vargas approaches Fisher-Johnson and grabs her around the head and pulls her up and then head a snap suplex, sending Fisher-Johnson backwards, as Vargas grimaces a little as she climbs to her feet and approaches Fisher-Johnson and pulls her up, where she spins her around and then throws her towards the timekeepers table and she disappears over that.

Simone: Just like that Vargas turns the table and she grabs Fisher-Johnson and hits a snap suplex against the hard floor. But Vargas isn't done, and she pulls Fisher-Johnson up and throws her towards the timekeeper's table.

Vargas takes the moment, as she moves her knee about and rubs it wondering if there is permanent damaged is done, behind her Fisher-Johnson shakes off the snap suplex, as she grabs the barriers and pulls herself up to her feet. She then climbs onto the barrier and as Vargas turns fisher-Johnson leaps off with a flying fist sending Vargas down the mat.

Adams: What a shot from Fisher-Johnson, as she quickly recovers and takes advantage of Vargas checking on the heath of her knee.

Fisher-Johnson climbs to her feet, as Vargas quickly begins to crawl away from Fisher-Johnson before making her way to feet and stumbles away, which Fisher-Johnson begins to follow and quickly catches up, where she grabs her and rolls her back into the ring and Fisher-Johnson climbs in, but Vargas pounces and hits a clubbing blow to her back. Fisher-Johnson tries to get up, but Vargas just kicks her before grabbing her by the hair and pulls her up to her feet, where she goes to whip her across the ring but wrench her arm and then follows with a hook kick send Fisher-Johnson down to the mat.

Simone: Fisher-Johnson thinks she has Vargas covered, but Vargas is ready for Fisher-Johnson and catches her across the back stopping Fisher-Johnson. Vargas is back up and she gives Fisher-Johnson a short sharp kick. But she isn't done and she pulls Fisher-Johnson up and catches her with a 2 to Tango/Tango for two and tries for a pin...

She then drops down for a casual pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Vargas shakes her head, as she pulls Fisher-Johnson up int a seated position, where she clubs her back again before wrapping her legs around Fisher-Johnson's waist before grabbing Fisher-Johnson's arms and then adjusts to lock in the Lotus Lock. Fisher-Johnson grimaces as she kicks her legs about as the ref moves in and asks if she wants to give up, but she says no, and Vargas pulls harder. Against Fisher-Johnson kicks her legs about as the ref continues to ask but she shakes her head. Fisher-Johnson twists herself to get to get to a knee.

Adams: Bit of a casual pin on Fisher-Johnson, which she kicks out with ease. However, Vargas isn't done as she sets up and locks in the Red Peril, which Fisher-Johnson struggles against, but she doesn't give up so easily.

Simone: The idea of this move isn't to make them tap but to wear them down.

Vargas adjusts her grip, as Fisher-Johnson continues to fight and she manages to plant a foot on the mat and pushes herself up, which forces to Vargas to let go but keep a hold of Fisher-Johnson arms, she pushes Fisher-Johnson forward and into the ropes, where she releases her grip and wraps it her arms around Fisher-Johnson and tries for German suplex, but Fisher-Johnson blocks it and throws an elbow backwards, which catches Vargas.

Simone: Fisher-Johnson battles back to her feet, as Vargas tries to for a German suplex, but it's blocked.

Vargas stumbles backwards, as Fisher-Johnson shakes her arms before leaping onto the ropes and goes for a springboard crossbody onto Vargas who at the same time turns back to Fisher-Johnson and it connects. Fisher-Johnson rolls away, as she and Vargas climb back to their feet and they meet back in the centre of the ring, where they trade shots back and forth until Fisher-Johnson drives a knee into Vargas' stomach.

Adams: Great block, as Fisher-Johnson hits a crossbody onto Vargas but isn't able to go for a quick pin, as they both gets back to their feet and have a brief brawl but Fisher-Johnson puts a stop to it.

Vargas doubles over, which Fisher-Johnson grabs Vargas and hits a DDT. Fisher-Johnson climbs back to her feet, where she grabs Vargas by the hair and pulls her up and then hoists her on her shoulders before hitting the Final Sin (Psycho Driver III).

Simone: Fisher-Johnson hits a DDT and the proceeds to set up for the Final Sin, which she hits and goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Adams: Fisher-Johnson tops out the year with a big win.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match via pinfall... Keira Fisher-Johnson.

Her music hits over the p.a as she climbs to her feet, as the ref hands her Bombshell world championship and she raises it up to celebrate.

Despayre, sporting his face shield but also his Santa hat with the extra large sprig of mistletoe, leaning in closely to whisper to the camera.

Despayre: I'm thankful because I went all of 2020 without getting a single stolen smooch from the babes! And I...

He glances up and his eyes widen.

Despayre: Oh NO!

And he takes off, running off camera when Pussy Willow, Ms Rocky Mountains and Janet the Makeup Lady give chase past the camera!

The backstage area set aside in the Golden Ring Casino has erupted into utter chaos! Nobody could believe it and once words got around at what had happened, everybody had to get up close and try to see for themselves! It was just that unthinkable! Someone -- Austin James Mercer to be exact -- attacked Aron Baltasarsson, manager and brother to Fenris! Aron, one of the single most endearing and nicest men to work alongside backstage and to know in general.

A victim because of the animosity Austin holds towards his brother Fenris!

Aron is laying motionless on the backstage floor, his suit torn and disheveled and his body beaten and battered! His boyish, handsome face has been busted up and bruised, and his blonde hair stained red with crimson, the very same blood running down his face in rivets, hiding his facial features!

Fenris: Move! FUCKING MOVE!!!

Fenris tears through the crowd around his unconscious brother, throwing aside anyone unfortunate to get in his way and fail to yield! Standing nearby and in clear concern are mutual friends between the brothers; namely Ben and Evie Jordan, the members of London Underground, among other members of the GO Gym. Kris Ryans ... Even Mark Ward and Christian Underwood had heard what happened and there they stand, right on the scene as Mark is summoning paramedics!

Fenris breaks through and skids to a halt, the shock evident on his face as he sees what has been done to his sweet and innocent baby brother!

Fenris: A-Aron...? A!?

Fenris drops to his knees at his brother's side and quickly cups a hand over his brother's cheek and runs his hand through his blood soaked hair, never minding that he is now staining his own flesh and clothes with his brother's blood.

Fenris: Aron!

Fenris falls into his native Icelandic as Ben Jordan takes it upon himself to take that one giant step forward, kneeling beside Fenris and placing a reassuring hand on his close friend's shoulder. Fenris comes THIS close to shrugging it off and saying something scathing about being touched but he turns his head, and the moment he sees who it is, he swallows whatever those words were going to be.

Ben: He can't talk, mate. You shouldn't touch him. God knows what the hell damage Mercer did to him.

Fenris turns from him and just stares, horrified at Aron's condition when Mark walks up cautiously, and he lowers himself at the knee to address Fenris.

Hot Stuff: Paramedics are here. He has to get to a hospital.

Fenris almost does not hear the boss. he just nods by instinct alone, but his eyes go from shock to horror, and now to sheer and unadulterated rage...

Ben: Kristjan?

Fenris is literally shaking with rage! He slowly stands up.

Fenris: He's dead.... that fucker is DEAD!

He turns around to the mass of onlookers.

Fenris: Where is he!? WHERE IS HE!?!>

Fenris starts to press forward, intent to search for and destroy the man who did this to Aron! Ben tried to grasp at his arm but he pulls away and starts pushing through the crowd when Mackenzie Page gets right in his way with her hands firmly on his chest!

Mackenzie: Wait....!

Fenris: Move! MOVE!

When suddenly she swings and pops him right in the jaw, shocking everyone around them into silence! Fenris stares at her with wide eyes and he swiftly draws a fist back, like he is about to return that shot -- prompting Daniel Morgan and the rest of London Underground to tense up and intervene and quickly! But it was unnecessary as Mackenzie proved to be a surprising voice of reason!

Mackenzie: Don't be STUPID!

She points behind him and by instinct, Fenris turns his head and sees what she is pointing at; his brother.

Mackenzie: Your brother needs you, you damn moron! Mercer is already gone! Aron comes first!

Fenris silently turns his head back around and their burning gazes meet.

Mackenzie: You'll fuck Mercer up LATER! Right now, I think your brother should be your top concern!

The stare down continues as the crowd slowly disperses and the paramedics wheel the gurney over to Aron's side and lowers it to the floor to begin preparations. Fenris finally yields with a nod and turns away to return to Aron's side, but not before Mackenzie clamps a hand on his arm.

The scene switches to the shot of a Christmas tree before spinning around to where J2H sits looking down the camera.

J2H: You really think I was gonna show up there to talk for two minutes and go? Fuck off!

The arrogant trademark smirk crosses his face.

J2H: Let me tell you why I'm here. I got a call from Mark Ward, he said J, we want to do this segment thing, blah, blah, blah. I said why the fuck would I bother? And he said I didn't have to show up but how could I refuse being on a show, knowing that Teddy Warren would see it and hide behind the sofa.

Another smirk on the face of J2H.

J2H: He was right, so if someone can bring Teddy a new pair of pants, he'd appreciate it.

J2H looks down the camera.

J2H: Obviously the best moment of 2020 was me returning and taking that Internet championship. It should be everyone's best moment, it should be one of the best moments in SCW history. You had a man like Teddy Warren who sat there talking shit for a year, only to melt like a snowman in the sun the second I showed up. I don't think anyone out there could hate the look on his face as he almost broke out in tears. I think maybe Caleb Storm celebrating being handed something he could never win would also be up there, but common theme? J2H being in SCW for just a little while, it made everyone's year. Seeing me on TV will always be the highlight of your lives, so year, 2020, all about J2H.

He looks to the side.

J2H: I'm not saying that, I couldn't give a damn how their week goes.

Melody walks on to the camera shot holding James Jr, dressed as an elf and sits down next to J2H, resting their son on her lap.

Melody: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, what my husband was trying to say was happy holidays to you all and we hope you get everything you want and more. Remember, family is everything, so spend time with the ones you love.

Balancing JJ on her lap, Melody turns around and puts a Santa hat on J2H's head. J2H frowns.

J2H: Bah humbug.

Melody smiles and looks at the camera, waving at it, James Jr following suit and waving as the camera fades.

Simone: I thought we had a reprieve from Caleb's song parodies after he "won" the Internet Title but Katie says he has written a response to Austin's beating from last week.

Adams: And Austin has threatened him with another beating, anyway what parody is he remaking?

Jason is handed a note by a stage hand and nearly falls out of his chair.

Adams: He's remaking the Girl in the Tower parody, it's called Austin James Mercer.

Simone: Oh good.

We cut to the titentron as the instrumental version of the track starts to play and Caleb appears once again as Prince Alexander with his guitar.

Caleb: It seems so obvious now
That Austin's top was going to blow
I should've listened to my wife
Instead, I got punched in the nose.

Simone: Did he really just sing that?!

Adams: CAN WE PLEASE CUT TO AUSTIN'S LOCKER ROOM?! I MUST SEE HIS REACTION TO THIS!

Like before Katie steps into view wearing the Princess Cassima outfit.

Katie: I tried to warn you
But you didn't listen to what I had to say.

Caleb and Katie: And instead of listening to you, I got my lights punched out by him

Caleb: Austin James Mercer, I'm calling you out
If you wanted to challenge me, you should've asked
Austin James Mercer, the third time will be the charm
I will finally defeat you.

The song parody ends, and we cut back to the bewildered announcers.

Simone: How long until Katie is pushing Caleb out of the arena again?

Adams: T-Minus five seconds!

Backstage, Pussy Willow can be seen approaching a redhead who is stretching out her back.

Pussy Willow: Sam I am here to ask you if you were ready for tonight considering that last week you were in real pain from the hold you were forced into by Tempest.

Sam Marlowe: Y'all know that I definitely was feelin' that last week Pussy and trust me I know that I need to be at one hundred percent to face Joanna Krieger for the Bombshell Roulette title tonight. But you also know that I tend to rise to the occasion when important matches come my way. And tonight is an important match to me.

Pussy Willow: But Sam, Joanna is a machine! She isn't going to take it easy on you this week in her second defense of her title.

Sam Marlowe: I know that she is gunning for me and I am pretty sure that she is going to take advantage of whatever injury she thinks that I have from last week. Sad part is, I am ready for that. You know Pussy that I have been in some very violent matches that most bombshells would need a couple of weeks off and I have come back and wrestles the next week. Just like last week I was put through the wringer and this week I am challenging for the bombshell Roulette title and regardless of who holds it, I am going to be giving them the fight of their lives.

Sam bobs her head with determination as Pussy shoots her a doubtful look.

Pussy Willow: Good luck Sam, you are going to need it this week facing Joanna.

Sam Marlowe: I have something to prove tonight Pussy. And let me send this message to Joanna. If you somehow win tonight, congratulations, you are on your way to cementing yourself as a Bombshell Roulette champion to be reckoned with. But Joanna, that burning desire to once more add to my Bombshell Roulette legacy is red hot and nothing tonight is going to be held back. I am leaving everything in the ring for this match...everything that is except the Bombshell Roulette title. And when all is said and done, I will shake your hand either way. You have earned my respect and I know that you will make me earn yours which I am more than ready to do. See you out there Joanna and may the best bombshell win.

Sam moves off to disappears around a corner leaving the camera view to go back to ringside.

Backstage, Ms. Rocky Mountains stands before the holiday themed Roulette wheel alongside the reigning Roulette Champion Johanna Krieger, and the challenger, Samantha Marlowe.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I am here tonight to discover which special holiday theme match stipulation tonight's championship match will be contested in. I am joined by champion Johanna Krieger, and challenger Samantha Marlowe! Before we went to camera, we had a coin toss and Samantha won, so she gets to spin the wheel. Samantha?

Smiling and excited, Samantha walks up and gives the wheel a hard spin as Johanna watches on. The wheel goes around and around, passing by such stipulations as "Garland" ... "Eggnog" ... "Naughty or Nice" ... until it finally slows down and stops on...

Ms. Rocky Mountains: And tonight's Bombshell Roulette title match will be a Santa's Sleigh match! Brest of luck to both of you!

Johanna and Samantha walk off-camera in opposite directions.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a Santa's Sleigh match for the Bombshell Roulette Championship!

The fans cheer!

"Invincible by Hedley begins to play as a familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show where she stops and looks over the crowds who begin to chant her name as Justin brings the microphone to his lips.

Justin: Introducing first! From Houston Texas, she has been known as SCW's sweetheart, the challenger! She is Sam Marlowe!

Sam raises her arms as she is introduced. Heading to the ring, she plays to the fans, slapping hands and posing with others. Finally she climbs the stairs to the ring apron and lays herself across the middle rope and blows a kiss to the camera and then rolls inside the ring. Walking towards the corner, she unzips her short jacket and pulls it off. Handing it to ringside staff, she turns and begins stretching out for the match as she watches her opponent.

Simone: I am amazed that Samantha is so ready for this match, especially after the attack last week from Tempest!

Adams: Well Sammi wants HER Roulette championship back! That would make the best Christmas gift for her!

Justin: And her opponent...!

Cut Throat by Kittie hits as the lights in the arena go out and a single red spotlight appears on stage, in the center Johanna Krieger stands there with a black leather jacket over the top.

Justin: From Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany! She is the reigning and defending Bombshell Roulette Champion! "The Agent of Mayhem" Johanna Krieger!

She makes her way down to the ring as the spotlight follows her, she slides in the ring and crawls to the corner before staying on her knees with her arms back holding onto the middle rope as the house lights come up.

Adams: Boy Johanna looks ready for this one, doesn't she?

Simone: She admits she accepted Samantha's challenge for one reason, and one reason only. Samanatha Marlowe deserves it!

Johanna passes the championship belt to the official who holds it up for all. The belt is handed then to Justin Decent on the outside and the bell sounds!

DING DING DING!

The bell immediately rings as Johanna rushes at Samantha and knocking her back first into the turnbuckles. Samantha sinks down as Johanna lifts her up before ramming her right shoulder directly into the midsection. Samantha is trying to block each attempt but Johanna is proving to have more strength then Samantha can handle. Johanna backs up a bit while looking at the pain etched in Samantha's face. Johanna smirks before charging towards her but at the split second Samantha steps to her left causing Johanna to smash into the turnbuckles chest first.

Samantha takes a minute to collect herself before lunging herself towards Johanna and connecting with a flying neckbreaker. Samantha is just an inch faster as she rises up towards her feet. She is allowing for some air to return to her lungs before bending down and picking Johanna up off the canvas. Once Johanna gets to one knee, she fires a hard right hand directly into the midsection followed by another and another. Each blow lands harder and harder as Samantha is struggling to maintain her grip. As Johanna pulls her arm back, Samantha manages to catch the arm and flings her across the ring with a quick arm drag. Johanna rolls a couple of times before popping back up to her feet. She gestures toward Sam to bring the fight.

Simone: This title match is certainly off to a fast start.

Adams: I wonder if they'll break out any Christmas weapons.

Sam looks toward Johanna before running towards her. Just as she about to strike, Johanna drops down while slamming Sam throat first onto the second rope. Sam is grasping at her neck as Johanna drapes her leg over and pushes all of her weight down across Sam's neck. Johanna is all smiles as she rolls out of the ring. Johanna lifts up the ring apron as she drops down to one knee as she searches under the ring for something. With Johanna preoccupied, Samantha is given ample amount of time to regain some strength. She rolls out of the ring herself just as Johanna is pulling out a Christmas box. Samantha doesn't wait for Johanna as she lands a stiff knee to the back. Johanna lets out a loud grunt as she also bangs the top of her head onto the ring.

Sam grabs a hold of one of Johanna's legs and yanks her out from underneath the ring. Johanna is still clutching the box as Samantha follows up the yank with another strong knee strike this time to the jaw. The box falls out of her hand as Sam picks it up. She slams the box down across the chest of Johanna before leaping up onto the ring apron. Sam looks down at Johanna before springing off the ropes and connecting with an imploding senton splash. Samantha gets back up to her feet as Johanna is doing the same thing.

Simone: Now the weapons are out.

Adams: What's in the box?

Johanna catches Sam first with a strong right hand. Sam fires back with a right hand of her own. Johanna fires back with another right hand. Each woman continues to throw right hands until Sam gains the upper hand. Sam grabs a hold of Johanna's arm and flings her right into the steel ring steps. Johanna leaps over them as she kicks them right back into Sam's knees. Sam stumbles backward as Johanna growls at Justin Decent to get him to move. The moment he stands up to his feet, Johanna snatches his chair and folds it right up in her hands. She turns back toward Sam who uses a wheel kick to shove the chair right back into Johanna's face.

Johanna stumbles as Sam follows after her. She slams her forearm into the back of Johanna as she falls face first onto the other steel ring steps. Johanna is holding her face as Sam takes a quick glance over at Santa's sleigh which is positioned on the left side of the stage. Samantha picks Johanna up and drags her around the ring. Johanna is still holding her face as Sam drives a right hand down on top of Johanna. Johanna follows up with a right of her own. Samantha continues to use her right hands as weapons. As Sam is throwing another right hand, Johanna blocks the fist and slams her knee right into Sam's midsection. Sam bends over as Johanna wraps her hands around Sam's neck and drops her face down onto the arena floor. Johanna quickly gets right back up to her feet and pulls out a kendo stick from underneath the ring.

Drew Patton is standing by the sleigh watching the ladies while waiting for them to make their way towards it. Johanna twirls the stick in her hand before slamming it across the back of Sam. She continues to punish Sam with the stick. She turns toward the crowd while taunting them and raising the stick high in the air. As she continues to taunt, Sam comes up behind her and slams her face right into the barricade. Sam picks up the stick and smashes it across the back of Johanna. She continues to strike at Johanna as Sam nearly breaks the stick.

Simone: Sam is really trying to make a statement.

Adams: I wouldn't underestimate Johanna.

Sam tosses the stick away before turning her attention back towards Johanna. She slams her forearm down across the back of Johanna. Johanna screams out loud as Sam grabs her by the hair and walks her toward the ramp. Sam continues to walk Johanna up the ramp but Johanna slams her forearm into the ribs. Samantha lets out a slight groan as Johanna continues to slam her forearm into the same location. The shots cause Sam to loosen her grip as Johanna hooks her arms around the waist and tosses Sam over head. The back of Sam's head slams hard onto the cold steel as Johanna smirks with an evil grin. She charges at Sam and catches her with a sliding knee. After striking Sam, Johanna picks her up by the hair and drags her up the ramp.

Johanna then turns to face Sam and hooks her in a front facelock. She then snaps her hips before connecting with a snap suplex. Sam's spine smacks hard onto the ramp as Johanna gets right back up to her feet. She looks down at Sam before stomping a mudhole into her. She then gets into a mounted position and starts raining down multiple right hands down. Sam is doing her best to cover up but each fist lands with precision. After the final fist lands flush against Sam's face, Johanna gets right back up to her feet and slams her boot down across the ribs again.

Sam is grasping at her midsection as Johanna looks over at the sleigh. She starts to chuckle before pulling Sam back up to her feet and throws toward the sleigh. Sam rolls over onto her knees as Johanna comes charging at her. Sam immediately hops up to her feet before hooking her legs around Johanna's neck and flinging her to the side with a hurricanrana. Sam quickly gets back up to her feet as she reaches into the sleigh and pulls out a small banjo. Sam looks at it confused before shrugging her shoulders.

Simone: A banjo!?

Adams: Maybe Santa is in a bluegrass band

Sam motions for Johanna to get up to her feet. She slowly gets right up to her feet as Sam is standing behind her. Johanna slowly turns around as Sam swings the banjo at her but Johanna ducks underneath. Sam staggers forward as Johanna looks through the sleigh for a weapon. Sam gathers her footing while still holding onto the banjo. Johanna digs through the bags as she pulls out a slide trombone. Her eyes go wide as she tries to understand why a trombone would be in Santa's sleigh. As she continues to look at it, Sam smashes the banjo over Johanna's head. She sinks down a little as Sam goes to lift Johanna up off her feet.

She tries to toss Johanna into the sleigh but Johanna places her hands onto the side. Johanna's knees are sitting on the seat as Sam climbs onto the edge. She strikes with a knife edge chop but it doesn't do much to Johanna. Before she could strike with another chop, Johanna grabs a handful of garland and wraps it around Sam's ankle. Johanna quickly yanks on the garland as Sam falls right onto the three bags full of presents. Johanna proceeds to tie the garland to the door handle as she leaps over the edge and lands on the floor.

Drew Patton sees that Johanna is standing on the floor as he signals for the bell.

Justin: Here is your winner and still Bombshell Roulette Champion...Johanna Krieger.

Johanna looks back at Sam with a sick grin on her face she is handed her championship belt. Johanna raises it high into the air as the crowd is showing their displeasure.

Simone: Johanna has done it again. Who will stop her?

Adams: I can think of one person who could pull it off.

The stage is set up as a winter wonderland and SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood stands with microphone in hand, dressed in a white suit.

Christian Underwood: As the years say good-bye
One by one on silent wings they fly
What will last, what is true
That's a lesson I learned lovin' you
This world will find its way somehow
I've got all that I need right here, right now

This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time

The SCW Universe cheers as out onto the stage walks none other than Kate Steele in an ice blue gown with matching shawl around her shoulders.

Kate Steele: Sometimes life leads you blind
To the one you've been waiting to find
Sometimes life lets you see
Just how great the gift of love can be
Now the light that fires the brightest stars
Is waiting to shine on this moment of ours

Together: This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time

If life is just a dream, I know within my heart
Just getting closer to you
Is by far the sweetest part
So tell me one thing baby, the one thing I need to know

This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time

The performance ends and the SCW Universe stands and cheers as Kate smiles and a smiling Christian places a hand on her shoulder before the two share an embrace.

Cameras cut to the back, showing Candy, Keira Johnson, and Roxi Johnson sitting on the floor around a Christmas tree. Sitting on the floor in front of them was Fluffy and Hero, still wearing their adorable little elf costumes. Candy grabs a present from under the tree and hands it to Roxi, then another one and hands it to Keira.

Candy: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Roxi: Aw.. thank you Candy, We have one for you too!

Roxi turns to Keira who hands over a small wrapped present to Candy.

Keira: We know you'll love it! And I think you may even need it.

Candy was so excited she wasted no time ripping open her present to show a brand new leash for Candy's dog Fluffy

Candy: OMG IT'S AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!! Fluffy and Hero will LOVE it when they go for their walks!!!

Keira smiles and opens hers along with Roxi. They reveal that they got matching nameplate necklaces that say "Team Hero" in gold.

Keira: Awww. That's cute. I love it. Thank you, Candy!

Candy smiled big

Candy: You're welcome! I got one too! We can be like three twinsies!!!

Roxi: Exactly! This is so amazing. Thank you so much Candy!

Candy was absolutely ecstatic over the gifts. She hands one more decent sized box to them.

Candy: And let's not forget Nate! Me and Marcus got him a present too!

Keira: He's going to be very happy!

Roxi: Absolutely.

Keira: Oh, wait, we do have one more thing for you.

Keira pulls out a larger box that is covered in small amounts of glitter and is marked for Candy.

Roxi: No, it's not a glitter bomb, I promise. It's something from the heart. We have very much valued your friendship and partnership over this past year. So, we wanted to make sure you knew how much.

Keira: You are always going to be our friend and a great member of Team Hero

The box is a lot heavier than the leash, and Candy again rips it open and opens the box to see a golden plaque/trophy with Candy's picture, a collage of pictures of the three of them, and an engraving of the words "Official member of Team Hero: Candy" on the plaque. Immediately on seeing it, her eyes well up with happy tears.

Keira: We hope you like it.

Candy: Like it??? I LOVE ITTTTTT!!!! You guys are the BESTEST!!!

She leaped forward, tears in her eyes, embracing both ladies in a huge bear hug.

Roxi: Merry Christmas Candy.

Keira: Merry Christmas... partner.

On that note, the cameras cut back to ringside.

We are bounced back to the arena corridors, where Mark "The Dragon" Cross can be seen standing alongside Gemma Frost, microphone in hand. Cross has changed clothes from when we saw him last.

Gemma: So I'm here with The Dragon who's here in attendance for our final show of 2020 and first of all, I'm disappointed! I thought you were going to be wearing a hat today.

The Dragon: I was. It got covered in Royal Purple's vomit, figured it'd be a health risk to put that on my head ever again.

Gemma: Eww...she's levelled up from throwing drinks over people then huh?

The Dragon: GRIME needs to keep their dogs under control before they let them on the main brand. I know that's the normal kind of behaviour for them, but opportunities like Royal Purple are getting won't come around again if she blows it too badly.

Gemma: Not her biggest fan, huh?

The Dragon: No Gemma, I'm not.

Gemma: Well let's talk about something else then - We haven't seen you in a ring much since your Into the Void World title shot in June - What's been going on in your world?

The Dragon: Well - I damaged knee ligaments during the match and while I tried working on a reduced schedule for a while, in the end my medical team stepped in and I needed to take 12 weeks off. It's probably the longest injury layoff in over a decade, so it gave me time to pursue other interests, romantic interests...

Gemma: Hookers?

The Dragon: I'm in love, Gemma. She moved to Miami to live with me.

Gemma: Oh for real?

The Dragon: For real. The time will definitely come for me to get back into the Sin City ring, and I'm still training like I used to, just not dealing with the match load and the travelling right now.

Gemma: Any plans for when you do come back into the fold?

The Dragon: Worst case? I'll definitely be defending my Blast from the Past crown in 2021. Can't let Evie be the only two time winner now can I? After that, well the next logical step is to become World champion isn't it? Either that or find a kick-ass partner and unseat The Black Sheep if they're still holding the Mixed Tag titles. I'll decide based on what I think will piss Mikah off more at the time.

Gemma: Blast from the Past was your last big achievement this year, but you may have more to add with nominations for SCU's Breakout star, Wrestler of the Year and Match of the Year for that shot against Ben Jordan. How do you rate your chances?

The Dragon: I mean I think I've got a good chance in leaving with something out of that list, for sure. I don't think there's anyone working on the sister brands that can claim to have had the same impact on the main show as I did in the first part of 2020. Don't get me wrong, a lot of guys and girls have done a lot of good work to put SCU and GRIME on the map this past year, but in terms of giving them mainstream appeal? I feel like I carried a lot of that on my shoulders over this past year, and I hope I get the chance to go again in '21.

Gemma: Great - And just to finish off, we're asking everyone on the roster for their personal favourite moment of the last year, just to put you on the spot...

The Dragon: Well there's been so many, it's really tough to pick just one. Winning titles with Valentina as the Fire Dragons, an extended run as SCU Underground champion, spilling coffee on Tally, blasting my way through Sin City Wrestling's main roster, Blast from the Past 2020 winner...hmm...

The edges of the shot start to fade away into a kind of dream sequence...The cameras move backstage just moments before the Blast from the Past finals. Mark Cross is already standing backstage, wearing his Fire Dragon 2.0 t-shirt proudly. He is skipping from foot to foot getting warmed up for his upcoming match.

Adams: Here we go Belinda we are just moments away from the Blast from the Past finals.

Simone: It's good to see someone is prepared for it.

As Mark focuses on warming up, he misses the sound of someone approaching to stand beside him. It doesn't take long for his tag team partner, Evie to be standing beside him. Mark takes a step back as his eyes pan her to see that she is in fact wearing her Fire Dragons 2.0 t-shirt.

Evie: Don't make a big deal over it.

The look on Evie's face says it all, she is hating every single second of this, but Mark's smile is from ear to ear.

The Dragon: It looks better on you than it does on me...well that's disappointing!

He chuckles warmly, as Evie rolls her eyes.

The Dragon: Now we definitely have to win, or that'll just be embarrassing...

We snap back to the present day. Mark has removed his jacket revealing his own Fire Dragons 2.0 shirt.

The Dragon: Getting Evie to wear that damn shirt in the end almost made my whole year I think. Our partnership was rocky, to say the least, and I think on the whole we just don't "click" as people, even after the dust settled and all was said and done, I doubt we're ever going to be the best of friends. The fact is though, put two of the strongest wrestlers together in one partnership, if they can learn to put their differences aside long enough to get the job done, incredible things can happen. Part of me loved working with her, another part is hoping desperately that it never happens again.

Gemma: Welllll that was not the answer I was expecting. Mark "The Dragon" Cross everyone, interviewing you is always an interesting experience. Back to the action!

Out in the parking lot, Aron -- now in a neck brace and fastened to the gurney, is being lifted into the back of the waiting ambulance. Fenris climbs in after him to ride along as Ben, Evie, O'Malley and others watch on. The ambulance door closes and the ambulance's light and siren turn on as it pulls out of the parking lot.

SCU PRIDE Tag Team champion Alex Rush can be seen walking through the backstage area, the championship belt over his shoulder, and his pet rhino, Robert-Edwin and Edwin-Robert walking either side of him.

Alex: It was unreal, I'm guessing she never watched much of SCU to not know you, you cheeky chappy was Lucha Rhino and a champion in SCU.

The rhinos shake their heads simultaneously, but Alex points at something.

Alex: OH! A chair, me feet are sweating so bad, cheese makers are gonna pop up out of nowhere.

Alex moves towards the chair and takes a seat. He looks up and sees an SCW banner.

Alex: Ohhhhhhh, sparkly.

The cameraman looks at Alex.

Cameraman: Hey Alex.

Alex's eyes widen as the rhinos move in either side.

Alex: The banner knows my name lads.

Cameraman: No, it's me Alex.

Alex looks forward and sees the cameraman, and puts his hand on his chest.

Alex: Oh thank god for that, I thought the banner was talking to me and frankly, I don't do well with banners, last banner I had a chat with was not a nice bloke.

Cameraman: Are you here to talk about your best memories of 2020?

Alex scratches his head and looks either way to a rhino.

Alex: Am I here for that? I mean, I saw this seat right? And I thought you know what? I fancy a little sit down cause me plates were stinking of brie and that ain't a good smell.

Cameraman: Why don't you look in to the camera and tell the people about your best memories of 2020.

Alex looks in to the camera and a goofy grin appears.

Alex: Well, there was these two birds, right? And they had cracking melons, right? Well, I thought they were birds, and I thought they were melons, but they turned out to be....

Cameraman: Maybe we should talk about a different memory.

Alex: Ok, well, I reached down the back of the sofa and found a peanut, I think that was 2020, it could have been half past nine, I'm not too sure.

Cameraman: I mean about wrestling.

Alex: Oh, that's a no brainer, which is lucky, cause a lot of people have sat there and said Alex, you have no brain, and I dunno why really. I mean I must have one of those, or my head would make a different sound every time I whack it.

Cameraman: Stay on point Alex.

Alex: You got it Dave!

Cameraman: Mike...

Alex: Where's a mic?

Cameraman: Just talk Alex.

Alex: Well, my fave is probably teaming with my boys here, having like two tag team belts.... Ohhhh ohhhh, teaming with Ariana Grande which is awesome with her great singing career and she always brings snacks. Some of them smell a bit funky, but they go down a treat, not sure they come out the same way. Oooooh, ooooh, sushi nights with the Kawaii Dragons! That was big plus to wrestling in 2020, cause without wrestling, I wouldn't have had sushi with the Dragons..... Oh and Kelli Torres! High point of every year, cause she's a baaaaaaaaaaaaabe!

Alex looks across at both rhinos who nod their heads up and down.

Alex: Total babe!

Cameraman: I think we're done here.

Alex: Wicked! Ta-rah for a bit..... Think I'm just gonna have a little nap.

Alex curls up on the seat as the camera fades.

We cut to the ringside area where things seem to be buzzing. Simone and Adams seem to be enjoying themselves as they speak to each other.

Simone: Tonight has been really amazing.

Adams: What did you expect on this special Christmas edition of Climax Control, can it get any better?!

Simone: Wait why is there a huge Pool of Eggnog at ringside. The Roulette Championship match isn't until later and I am pretty sure they didn't even spin the wheel yet.

Adams: I don't know what this is about but?!

Finally all of the lights in the arena go out and as soon as they do we are treated to the glow in the dark sparking jacket. As soon as the lights come back on we can see Ruby Steele and she is clad in a one piece swimsuit. She is wearing a Santa hat and she smirks as she blows kisses to all of the crowd.

Ruby: HO HO HO... No I am not calling KRYSTAL WOLFE a HOE that would mean I actually find her being able to sell herself on a corner and I doubt she even has the looks for that. My name is Ruby Steele and I am the BASS player for the best female band in all of wrestling. Tonight isn't about me speaking about how the Gem Stones can play some good music. Tonight is about me addressing something very important. You see there is one man in this company who really doesn't appreciate me. I know he is SUPER SERIO at times and a true Grinch especially when Mark Ward gave him the greatest Christmas gift of the year by hiring a fellow country woman in me...

Ruby shakes her head as she continues to speak.

Ruby: What I have found since being on this roster is that Christian has insulted my music, my spirit of dance and that is totally not cool. He also wants to put a censor on a certain O word because it drives him to the brink of insanity. Now what could that O word be?! It certainly isn't OVERRATED because I haven't even wrestled in a match yet. After all tonight is my very first match. His comments of calling my music bad is truly OUTLANDISH and at the end of the day it's only his OPINION... Everybody has a right to OFFER however they feel about things.

Adams: Is there a reason why she is yelling every single word that begins with an O...

Simone: I think she is trying to get to the point that she can't say the word OUTR....

Adams: Please don't everybody knows it's coming... At some point....

Ruby sighs as she shakes her head and looks back at the cameras.

Ruby: Anyway tonight I want to honor Christian Underwood... Even though he has something against me and the use of the O Word I want to do a very special dance number for him. So let me introduce to all of you my backup dancers...

Simone: Did she just say backup dancers?!

Adams: This can't be good.

Ruby: The best MALE STRIPPERS in all of Las Vegas in ode to Christian this is your gift the PINK FLAMENGOS!!!!

The crowd is stunned as they hear that name and as soon as she says that a bunch of men in G Strings walk out. They begin to dance about as Ruby dances passionately doing the Alizee dance! She twirls her hips as the men dance about to the delight of the crowd. They all jump into the pool of Egg Nog and dance about covering themselves in the liquid. They take their g strings off but nobody can see their private areas as they are covered by the drink. Ruby's sister Sapphire runs out with a huge Christmas bas. She takes all of the undergarments and puts them into the bag. She puts a big bow on the bag and writes TO CHRISTIAN UNDERWOOD on it. She runs backstage until she reaches the office of the owners. She knocks on the door placing it in front of it. Ruby smiles as she begins to speak.

Ruby: Thank you everybody Merry Christmas... And you can say that was simply OUTRAGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LOVE YOU CHRISTIAN!!!!

Ruby continues to dance around as she skips away.

Simone: I have a feeling Christian won't like this...

Adams: This is definitely one way to upset your boss...

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is our main event and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!!

The crowds erupts in a huge pop!

Simone: I had hoped we would get through this main event without drama, but alas I was wrong. Jason and myself are now being joined by none other than O'Malley at the commentary table.

O'Malley: Now who says there's gunna be drama, Belinda? I just wanted an up close and personal view of this one.

Adams: Belinda just said it. You should listen to her. She's smarter than a fifth grader!

O'Malley: At least one of you is.

The lights shut off and the screen at the top of the ramp dies out, leaving the entire arena pitch black. Knowing what is coming the fans roar to life just as the PA blasts out the opening lyrics to the theme in the most booming fashion.

Justin: Introducing first is the challenger...

"THERE IS NO ONE LIKE ME!"

Two spotlights shine down on the stage as Chiddy Bang's "Mind Your Manners" plays through the PA system. Standing in the middle of the stage where the lights intersect is Kristopher Ryans.

Justin: From Jet City, he is a Grand Slam Champion!!!! KRISTOPHER RYYYYYYYYYYYYYANS!

O'Malley: I wonder how much extra Justin gets paid to point out the Grand Slam thing. Who really cares?

Simone: A lot of people do. It's a big accomplishment. One I doubt you'll ever understand.

Adams: Oooh..Burn!

O'Malley: It ain't about how many titles ye win, Belinda. Ye should know that.

The fans erupt with applause as he makes his way down the ramp. The white club symbol finally appears behind him on the screen as he makes his descent. As he gets down to the bottom of the ramp, the camera passes him, circling around his side to see the orange letters on his white shorts reading "MIRACLE" down his right leg. We get behind him as he ascends the stairs, seeing that the back of his jacket displays the KR logo in the same shade of orange. He walks one side of the ring before stepping between the ropes.

Simone: Look at the confidence Kris is giving off. I can't help but wonder if Jack may be in over his head with this one.

O'Malley: It's Jack. Of course he is, but neither of these fellas deserves to be in this main event.

Adams: And you do?!

O'Malley: Maybe not yet. But I will soon enough.

As Kris' music dies down, he catches sight of O'Malley at the commentary table and just grins. He pays no attention to the Irishman as he focuses on the backstage, waiting for Jack to enter.

"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face.

Justin: And his opponent! From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...He is the World Heavyweight Champion!! JACK WASHINGTON!!

O'Malley: I dunno who I hate more in this one.

Simone: If you hate both men, what exactly is the point of you being out here? Either way this goes, you'll have an issue with the winner, and the loser.

O'Malley: I have my reason. This should be a great match either way. I mean both fellas had a lot to say in their promos on Friday...

Jack shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.

Jack and Kris stare each other down and when Jack jumps down from the turnbuckle, he unclasps the title from around his waist and hands it over to Jasmine. She raises it above her head before handing it to the timekeeper and calling for the bell!

DING DING DING!

O'Malley: Alright fellas! Let's go! Beat the hell outta each other!

Simone: You would say something like that.

Adams: Not a bad idea. If one takes the other out, that's less work for O'Malley!

While both men are looking confident as ever, Jack is perhaps more so and the arrogant smirk is proof enough. He mouths a few words to Kris, suggesting the title is staying right where it is, and Kris grins right back letting out a laugh. Jack even sends a glance towards O'Malley at the commentary table, and the second he does, Kris hits him with a hard right shot.

Simone: And that was probably your plan, too. To distract both men?

O'Malley: Nah, not at all. They're doin' that all themselves.

But Kris doesn't stop at one. He continues the quick onslaught until Jack is backed against the ropes and he follows it up by whipping him across the ring! Jack rebounds back but he does a baseball slide, tripping the challenger up and knocking him down!

Adams: Ooh! Smart move!

Simone: Or stupid. That could have backfired on Jack.

O'Malley: I'm with Jason. Smart move. I woulda gone fer a little more damage though.

Kris lands on top of Jack but Jack kicks him away and Kris rolls away, giving Jack the chance to quickly get up to his feet. As Kris is attempting to get back to his feet as well, Jack quickly and forcefully, hits Kris with a knee strike to the back of the head, sending the challenger right back down! And he doesn't let up! He begins stomping away as Kris stays down, trying to disorient him early on, and it seems to be working, if only for the moment.

O'Malley: There ye go! Kill off his remaining brain cells!

Simone: So...you're on Jack's side in this, then?

O'Malley: I wouldn't say that.

Adams: Sure seems like you are!

As Kris holds the back of his head and stays down as Jack backs himself into the corner. He hops up to the second turnbuckle and stands tall, but he waits. Kris begins to push himself up to his hands and knees and then slowly back to his feet. Just as he goes to turn around, Jack flies off the turnbuckle at him, but Kris catches him with a superkick from out of nowhere, and it nearly takes the champion's head right off! Kris drops to his knees, and Jack is down, holding his chin and jaw after that hit!

O'Malley: Damn. I woulda liked to see his head go flyin'. Woulda been great to see.

Adams: I'm so confused.

Simone: I think he's just enjoying seeing both guys beat the hell out of each other.

O'Malley: Clearly the fans do, too.

Kris is back to his feet and despite the early advantage from Jack, he's now bouncing back and seeing straight. More importantly, he's seeing the World Heavyweight Championship at the end of this match. He walks over to Jack, reaching down and pulling him back to his feet. He whips Jack across the ring again, but this time Jack doesn't rebound back. He baseball slides under the bottom rope and to the outside of the ring right by the commentary table!

Simone: Oh isn't this just great! I don't need this!

Adams: Relax. Nothing has happened...yet.

O'Malley: Oh. Hey, Jackie Boy. Nice of ye to drop by, fella.

Jack has his back turned to Kris as he takes a few moments to "gather himself," but Kris won't stand for it! He runs against the ropes then charges across the ring, doing a suicide dive through the second rope the second Jack turns around! Jack flies back against the commentary table, all of this taking place right in front of O'Malley!

O'Malley: And Krissy boy joins the fun! Nice one, Kris!

Simone: I'm going to have some strong words with Mark and Christian later for allowing this to happen. It's bad enough dealing with Jason!

Adams: Hey! What does THAT mean?!

Kris smirks and almost taunts O'Malley for a moment, but the Irishman that has issues with both men, remains quiet and unmoving. Kris hits Jack a few times for good measure, and Jasmine is shouting for both men to get back in the ring. O'Malley folds his arms as he just watches the action close up, deciding in his mind who he'd rather see walk out of this one as the champion. Kris takes Jack by his head and when he goes to roll him back into the ring, Jack counters it, hitting in elbow to the side and he then sends Kris face first into the steel ringpost! Jasmine has started her count!

O'Malley: If I didn't hate him, I'd offer to buy him a beer fer that move.

Simone: Well, Jack hates everyone so even if you didn't hate him, he'd still hate you.

Adams: He doesn't hate me! Oh...wait...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Jack pulls Kris up and rolls him back in the ring. He doesn't even take a second to acknowledge O'Malley again, as he pulls himself up to the ring apron. He grabs the top rope, pulls back and then launches himself over into a slingshot swanton, after which he hooks Kris' leg for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Kris gets his shoulder up about halfway through the two count!

Simone: Almost had him there.

O'Malley: Almost don't count, Belinda.

Jack is furious and he gets up back to his feet. He doesn't even attempt to argue with Jasmine, however, staying on the offensive against Kris when it matters the most. He pulls Kris up and then sends him flying into the corner turnbuckle! With Kris' back against the turnbuckles, Jack charges at him and delivers a nasty high kick, further rattling Kris' brains.

O'Malley: Kris ain't gonna have any brain cells left after tonight.

Simone: Maybe if you're lucky, he'll forget you have a Twitter!

O'Malley: One can only hope...

Jack picks Kris up and sits him on the top turnbuckle, stepping up to the second. Kris seems out of it, but as Jack goes to set him up for a suplex, Kris snaps out of it and shoves the champion away! Jack crashes down to the canvas and without wasting a second, Kris leaps off the top turnbuckle into a diving somersault leg drop, immediately covering Jack and Jasmine drops down!

ONE!

TWO!

Th-No! Jack kicks out!

O'Malley: That woulda been embarrassing to lose the title that way.

Simone: And you would know, wouldn't you? You lost both your's in as many weeks.

Adams: Oooh! BURN AGAIN!

O'Malley: How old are you, Jason? Enough with the burn shite!

Adams: *begins counting on his fingers, trying to figure out his age*

Kris backs up for a second, momentarily dismayed but he shakes it off quickly and gets back to work on the champion. He stands up, looking down at Jack as he is starting to stir. Kris reaches down to pull Jack up and when he does, Jack grabs his arm, yanking it and pulling Kris down! He moves quickly and somehow gets Kris into an armbreaker submission hold, and Kris is now in trouble!

O'Malley: There ye go! Break his arm!

Simone: That looks very likely to happen and Kris is in a dangerous situation!

Adams: I don't think there will be a new champion tonight!

O'Malley: Not if Jack is smart there won't be!

Jack has the armbreaker locked in tight and as Jasmine checks on Kris, he refuses to tap out as he shakes his head repeatedly but tries searching for a way out of the hold! Jack pulls tighter and Kris kicks his legs, trying anything! He realizes how close he is to the ropes and he quickly works that to his advantage!

Simone: Kris has to do something and quick!

O'Malley: And there it is. Geez, Jackie boy! Ye shoulda pulled him to the center of the ring, ye idgit!

Fighting through the pain, Kris gets both his feet wrapped around the bottom rope, and Jasmine immediately calls for Jack to release the hold, but he doesn't! And Kris is still in agony! Jasmine warns Jack a second time, but again he ignores her and she starts her count!

O'Malley: Oh, like hell is Jack gonna keep his title this way...

Simone: Hey! Where are you going?!

Adams: Drama! You called it!@&

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

At the count of four, O'Malley jumps up to the ring apron and not only does this distract Jasmine, but Jack as well! Jack breaks the hold and Kris rolls away, under the bottom rope and out of the ring, holding his arm and shoulder. Jasmine warns O'Malley to get off the ring apron and Jack approaches him, when the two begin an exchange of heated words!

Simone: What is he getting at?! He seemed like he wanted Jack to remain champion!

Adams: Or maybe he doesn't?! But why would he want Kris to win?!

Jasmine stands between both men, trying to keep things under control but Jack is pissed. He mouths something to O'Malley and it's enough to set the Irishman off and he attempts to get into the ring, but Jasmine holds him off and Jack backs away holding his hands up and grinning! Jasmine doesn't have to hold O'Malley off for long as Kris rushes over and with his good arm, clotheslines O'Malley's leg and trips him! O'Malley crashes down against the edge of the ring apron then down to the floor outside as Kris glares down at him!

Adams: Wait...what was that for?! O'Malley helped him!

Simone: I think that's why! Kris didn't need or want his help. Besides, any chance to get a shot into O'Malley...

Jack rushes across the ring and jumps over, diving over the top rope and taking Kris right back down! O'Malley crawls away quickly though Jack would have been more than happy to get a shot in on him, too! But Jack and Kris are now down against the barricade with Jasmine checking on both, and warning O'Malley to stay where he is!

Simone: Like that's really going to work. No offense to Jasmine.

Jack is the first back to his feet, followed slowly by Kris, but Jack takes Kris and rolls him back into the ring before sliding in under the ropes and Jasmine is quickly back inside as well. Kris is shaking his right arm, trying to get feeling back into it and Jack realizes he has to use this to his advantage! He walks up behind Kris, grabbing his right arm and twisting it around in an armbar!

Adams: Youch! That arm has to be in some serious pain.

Simone: Luckily for him, we have three weeks off after this.

Jack then takes Kris down with a standing clothesline, and follows it up with a stomp to the arm, adding insult to injury! Jack laughs, having Kris right where he wants him, but his work is not finished. Kris crawls into the corner, holding his right arm and Jack rushes across the ring going for a dropkick in the corner, but Kris moves out of the way just in time and Jack's legs instead hit the ringpost!

Simone: Good lord! Did you hear that echo?! That had to hurt both his legs for sure!

Both men are down and trying to recover but Kris is the first up, using the ropes as support! Jack moves his legs back and forth, getting feeling back into them as gets back up and both men are exhausted but ready for this to be over! Jack glares across the ring at Kris who finally has some feeling back in his right arm, though he's still favoring it! He stands up and as he's about to charge at Jack, O'Malley is AGAIN on the ring apron, though this time yelling heated words at Kris, distracting him! Unfortunately for him, Kris doesn't play into it and instead knocks O'Malley off the ring apron with a forearm shot!

Adams: He just doesn't learn, does he?!

Simone: Or maybe he does! Look at Jack!

Jack tries to use the momentary distraction to his advantage as he charges at Kris going to clothesline him over the top rope, but Kris spins around just in time and ducks! Jack stops himself short of the ropes and when he turns around, he's caught with a powerful Godspeed(Claymore) kick from out of nowhere! Jack collapses down, and with O'Malley watching with a heated glare, Kris drops down and hooks his leg!

Adams: This is it!

Simone: Kris has it!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner and NEWWW SCW World Heavyweight Champion...KRIS RYANS!!

Simone: He did it! Kris Ryans has just become a double champion in SCW!!

Adams: Somehow I don't think that is what O'Malley wanted.

Simone: Hard to say, but he either just helped Kris, or his plan to cost him completely backfired!

Jasmine hands Kris not only his half of the Mixed Tag Team titles but now the World Heavyweight Championship as well. Kris holds both titles up, as O'Malley is now standing in the rampway, glaring at the site. Kris smirks as he looks to O'Malley, almost gloating, and Jack is nowhere to be found. When O'Malley turns to disappear backstage, however, Jack clobbers him from behind, tackling him on the rampway!

Simone: I think we know who Jack blames for that loss!

Adams: O'Malley didn't touch him, though!

Simone: So? He stuck his nose where it didn't belong!

As Kris celebrates in the ring, he just laughs and shakes his head as O'Malley and Jack are now brawling on the ramp. Kris drapes both tiles over his shoulders and watches it all unfold as he leans against the ropes and SCW officials finally rush out to separate Jack and O'Malley. O'Malley is dragged away first, shouting at Jack and then looking to Kris in the ring, pointing to the title over his shoulder and Kris just shakes his head. Jack turns around before be lead away, pointing to the title and to Kris.

Adams: Well, next year should be interesting!

Simone: Things definitely just heated up, but we've got three weeks until we find out what happens next!

Adams: Three weeks?! Woooo!

Simone: We're out of time for tonight, folks! Enjoy the holidays and be safe! We'll be back on January 10th for the first Climax Control of 2021!
