The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.
A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.
He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants...
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around the building at all of the fans filling the seats. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California, and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now without further ado, let's kick things off with the Hostess With the Mostess, Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The wrestling fans applaud and cheer as Amanda throws the curtains open and steps out onto the stage, clad in a tacky Christmas sweater and Christmas tree skirt (the type that is SUPPOSED to go around an actual tree). In one hand she is holding her microphone, and in the other, a blow up doll clad in a skimpy Mrs. Clause outfit! The music begins and Amanda starts her performance...
Amanda: I saw mommy kissing Mrs. Claus
Then I saw mommy tickle Mrs. Claus
I saw mommy kissing Mrs. Claus
Then I saw mommy tickle Mrs. Claus
I saw mommy kissing Mrs. Claus
Then I saw mommy tickle Mrs. Claus
Underneath her lingerie last night.
She would call me a "creep"
If she's aware that I peep—
So, much closer I snuck up,
Ogled wool that's not on sheep.
Underneath the sheerness of her slight
Attire; after that I gasped when
She acted then just like men:
Mommy diddled Mrs. Claus' lap site.
Now I think that I am scared for life
I crept downstairs
But I was not prepared
For what I saw them do with my own eyes
In between her legs on Christmas Eve
Oh, what a laugh she let out
On Daddy's brand new couch
Mommy was kissing Mrs. Claus last night.
Now I think that I am scared for life
I crept downstairs
But I was not prepared
For what I saw them do with my own eyes
In between her legs on Christmas Eve
Oh, what a laugh she let out
On Daddy's brand new couch
Mommy was kissing Mrs. Claus last night
Oh, what a laugh she let out
On Daddy's brand new couch
Mommy was kissing Mrs. Clause last night
The song comes to an end and the crowd cheers and laughs as Amanda gives the blow up doll a hug and it pops! Amanda watches it slowly deflate and looks to the crowd with a pouty lip as the spotlight fades.
The camera heads straight to the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit at the broadcasters table.
Simone: We are LIVE from the sold out Mechanics Bank Arena right here in Bakersfield, California for Sin City Wrestling Climax Control!
Adams: Can you believe it, bel? Just one week away from Winter Wonderslam!
Simone: Indeed, and less than a month away from the opening event of 2023 as we kick the New Year off with Inception VI! We already know that we will witness Masque versus Amber Ryan II that evening!
Adams: And tonight we'll hopefully find out more of the lineup!
Simone: But to kick the night off, it falls to the Bombshells to do things right when Georgie Robertson returns to SCW to face off against Bea Barnhart!
Adams: O'Malley has been having trouble with the Troll – if you can call that having trouble. But for now the Irish fella has bigger things at stake as he's got the Internet Champion Alexander Raven in a non-title match!
Simone: Bella Madison steps back into action and faces one of her most daunting tasks as she opposes none other than Alicia Lukas!
Adams: Mac Bane is campaigning hard for a shot at whoever walks away with the World Championship tonight but right now he has a former World Champion in the ring, one of the more dangerous men to have held that title in Austin James Mercer!
Simone: Krystal Wolfe faces a friend and one of the women she respects most in this business as she goes up against Roxi Johnson!
Adams: Masque is set to defend the gold against Amber Ryan January 11 but tonight she's in a non-title match against one of Amber's closest female allies in Melissa!
Simone: And finally the Main Event! The rematch from High Stakes XII as the World Heavyweight Champion Finn Whelan defends against "Godly" Ken Davison! All this and more on SCW Climax Control!
We cut backstage to see Scott Oliver standing with Bea Barnhart and Bill Barnhart backstage.
Scott: Bea in a short time you will open Climax Control 349 with a match against Georgie Robertson who you lost a match to several months ago. What are your thoughts entering this match?
Bea: I already stated during my comments for this match that I just took Georgie too lightly in our first match. That's behind me and I'm taking my full rage to her in our match tonight. The fact she has been out of wrestling action for an extended period of time tells me volumes of information.
Scott: What is it telling you?
Bea: Now, Scott, you know me better than that. I don't reveal my sources of information and for darn sure I won't reveal them to the world, and to Georgie Robertson, a few minutes before our match starts.
Scott: You can't blame me for asking. My job is to get as much information as I can for the fans. So, Bill, are you here next to Bea to serve as her corner person for her match with Georgia Robertson or are you here for face time in the camera?
Bill: You know me well Scott. I do not serve as Bea's manager and I'm not allowed at the ring when she is involved in her wrestling matches. On another item apparently a few matches are already booked for Inception VI for January 2023. Of those I saw listed I didn't see the Roulette Championship match scheduled yet. Since we have two events in December before we move on to 2023 I'm sure there will be an announcement of who my opponent, or opponents, will be for Inception VI. Must be difficult for Management to find worthy opponents for me so I can understand why they are taking their time.
Scott: So, Bea, you ready told me you are ready, and excited, to take on Georgie Robertson again. Any final comments before you start your match?
Bea: You know the reaction you get when you whack a stick against a Hornets nest, or try to smoke them out, or hose them down, and hundreds of extremely angry Hornets dive bomb you and you can't escape and you get stung into unconsciousness?
Scott: Yes. . .but. . .
Bea: ...let me finish Scott! That's what Georgie Robertson is going to feel like when she whacks the Hornets nest named Bea Barnhart!
Scott: Thanks Bea. . .and you too Bill. . .for your comments. I know you have to get to the staging area to be ready for your match.
Bill turns and walks down the hallway to return to the dressing room he shares with Bea. Bea turns and walks down a different hallway that leads to the staging area where she will wait for her entrance time.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...
The throbbing beat of Adam Lambert's For your entertainment fills the venue. A body can be seen in shadow as the fans turn towards the entrance. A strobing light flashes behind the body that turns slowly as a spotlight slowly lights up the ramp area and kills the strob to reveal a brunette in a black leather jacket over black tights and staring down into the ring, a slow smirk beginning to cross her lips. Heading to the ring, she stops at the ringstairs and then moves slowly up to the apron and into the ring where she moves towards a corner and leans back against the turnbuckles with one foot on the bottom rope.
Justin: From South London, she is Georgie Robertson.
The smirk returns as she looks at the camera and snaps off a contemptuous salute before pulling off the jacket to reveal a dark halter with silver buckles on it. She turns and once more leans into the corner to await the bell.
Justin: And her opponent... hailing from Lawrenceville, Georgia... Bea Barnhart...
Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.
The ref moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Barnhart and Robertson stare at each other from across the ring, before moving and circling the ring a couple of times before taking a moment and then move in and lock up, where they jockey for position, as both try to seek an upper hand but it's Robertson who slowly overpowers Barnhart and pushes her up against the ropes, but Barnhart shoves her way before the referee can intervene. Robertson backs away, as they stare each other down, as they circle the ring once more. They move back in and lock up once more, where they jockey for position until Robertson breaks first and locks Barnhart into a headlock, where she drops to his knee for a moment before rising back up as Robertson cranks a little bit on Barnhart's head, but Barnhart fire in a couple of punches to Robertson's torso before pushing her back against the ropes. Robertson breaks the hold as Barnhart sends Robertson away, who bounces off the ropes and as she comes back she charges at Barnhart and sends her into the ropes, but as Barnhart comes back at Robertson she hits a dropkick on Robertson and drops her.
Simone: They lock up and jockey, but Robertson overpower Barnhart and pins her against the ropes, but Barnhart shoves her away. An interesting early exchange as they circle the ring once more and move back in and lock, as Robertson breaks and locks Barnhart into a headlock, where she keeps that in place, but soon Barnhart fights backs.
Adams: She throws in some punches to Roberson's torso before moving to the ropes and she pushes Robertson away, who bounces off the ropes and she body checks Barnhart hard and into the ropes and Barnhart uses that momentum to hit a drop kick and drops Robertson.
Robertson rolls herself to the ropes, as Barnhart smirks and throws some insults toward Robertson. Robertson glares at Barnhart before making her way to her feet, as Barnhart continues to run her mouth as Robertson shoves Barnhart back and return the favour of insults, which Barnhart tries to respond with a spinning back fist, but Robertson ducks and fire back in with a forearm shot on Barnhart that rocks her.
Adams: Barnhart shoots some insults towards Robertson, Robertson just glares at Barnhart before making her way to her feet and ignores the insults and shoves Barnhart back and trades works back, which Barnhart takes exception to and tries for a spinning back fist, but Robertson ducks and hits a forearm shot.
Robertson fires some more words at Barnhart, before turning and goes towards the ropes and bounces off them but she doesn't see Barnhart follow and also bounces off the ropes and as Robertson turns Barnhart tries for another dropkick, but Robertson partially deflects it, but Barnhart quickly gets back to her feet and charges at Robertson, who body checks her and drops her down to the mat.
Simone: The forearm rocks Barnhart as she shouts at Barnhart before turning and bounces off the ropes, but Barnhart follows and as Robertson turns, Barnhart tries for a dropkick but doesn't catch her. Barnhart gets back to her feet and charges at Robertson in frustration but Robertson just body checks her.
Fired up, Robertson paces as Barnhart looks up at Robertson before climbing to her feet. They take a moment before Barnhart rushes in and tries for a wild swing, but Robertson grabs her arm before hooking and quickly looks for an arm bar, but Barnhart quickly drops to the mat and counters the attempted arm bar and grabs Robertson's wrist but before she can do anything, Robertson fires in forearm and catches Barnhart across her face. Barnhart wobbles on her feet and Robertson hits an uppercut and she stumbles back holding her face as Robertson approaches her and tries for another uppercut, but it's blocked.
Adams: Robertson and Barnhart take their time as Barnhart is back to her feet, as they continue to think about their next move, but Barnhart blinks first and rushes in and tries for a wild swing but it doesn't work out and Robertson grabs her arm and looks for an arm bar.
Simone: Barnhart doesn't have a proper answer to Robertson, as Barnhart drops to the mat and counters the attempted move and she grabs Robertson wrist, but Robertson catches her with a forearm shot. Barnhart is rocked and Robertson hits an uppercut and Barnhart wobbles a little more but blocks the second attempt.
Barnhart pushes Robertson away and then delivers a kick to Robertson's thigh who hobbles away who turns and Barnhart hits another kick to the thigh and hits one more and Robertson drops to the mat, where Barnhart follows up with a kick to the spine. Robertson grimaces in pain, as Barnhart drops down to the mat and pushes Robertson onto her back and goes for a quick pin...
ONE!
KICKOUT!
Simone: Barnhart rallies back with kicks to Robertson's thighs before the third drops Robertson and Barnhart delivers a kick to the spine. Barnhart then goes for a pin but only gets the one count.
Barnhart shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet as she looks down at Robertson, as Robertson climbs to her knees, where Barnhart begins to kick Robertson across the check before backing up before going for a shining wizard, but Robertson dodges and grabs Barnhart and drags her down and goes for a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Adams: Robertson goes for pin, but Barnhart kicks out at two.
Barnhart kicks out before rolling away, as Robertson sits up as she rubs her leg from the multiple kicks before slowly making her way to her feet. Barnhart also makes it to feet, where they meet in the centre of the ring and lock up once more and jockey for position until Robertson breaks and grabs Barnhart into a headlock, but Barnhart drives Robertson backwards into the ropes before pushing her away and Robertson hits the ropes and as she comes back Barnhart hits an arm drag. Robertson climbs back to her feet and turns and is met with a dropkick. Barnhart climbs back to her feet and grabs Robertson and pulls her up and tries to lift her up for the body slam but struggles with the next part and Robertson wriggles and Barnhart has to release and Robertson drops down to her feet, where she grabs Barnhart and hits a STO.
Simone: Barnhart rolls away, while Robertson nurses her legs, before they move back to their feet, where they lock up and Jockey, which Robertson breaks and turns it into a headlock, but Barnhart quickly escapes from it as she sends Roberson it the ropes and she comes back, she is hit with a arm drag.
Adams: Barnhart looks to capitalise on this as she goes for a dropkick but then has problems with the body slam and Robertson takes advantage of it and hits a STO.
Robertson looks down at Barnhart, who rolls away from Robertson, but Robertson follows and grabs Barnhart by her hair and pulls her up where she Irish whips her into the corner and she goes to follow up with a knee, but Barnhart dodges and Robertson's knees bounce off the turnbuckle and lands on the mat. Barnhart tries for a quick pin...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Adams: Robertson tries for the One and Done but doesn't work in her favour and she clashes with the middle turnbuckle and Barnhart tries to take advantage and goes for a pin but only gets a two count.
Barnhart shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet and grabs Robertson feet as looks for the figure four leg lock, but Robertson grabs the bottom rope and forces Barnhart to release. Barnhart gives Robertson a kick, before backing away and Robertson keeps hold of the ropes as she makes her way to feet, as Barnhart rushes in and Robertson hits a drop toe hold into the middle rope before following up with a double knee strike.
Barnhart stays in place, as climbs through the ropes and hits a superkick and Barnhart falls backwards. Robertson climbs back in, where she grabs the groggy Barnhart and pushes her into the corner, where she then hits the One and Done (Corner knee into corner DDT) to make sure Barnhart stays down and then goes for a pin...
Simone: Barnhart tries for the figure four leg lock but Robertson clings onto the ropes to stop that potential submission hold. Barnhart backs up to allow Robertson up before charging in but Robertson is ready and hits a drop toe hold before following up with a double knee strike to the back.
Adams: Nice superkick that Barnhart can't dodge, as Robertson puts Barnhart into the corner and hits the One and Done and goes for a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Simone: And Robertson picks up a big win...
DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Georgie Robertson.
Robertsons music hits over the p.a, as she climbs to her feet as she ref raises her arm in victory.
The camera opens up backstage, focused on Pussy Willow, holding a microphone and smiling into the camera.
Pussy Willow: Everyone please welcome the man who just weeks ago, made his surprise return to SCW. Former Roulette and Internet Champion, O'Malley! And his wife, Darcy!
The camera pans back as O'Malley and Darcy appear on screen, hand in hand. Both are smiling, apparently happy to once again be walking the halls of SCW shows.
Pussy Willow: O'Malley. Darcy. Welcome back! Prior to your return, the last we saw either of you in SCW was a little over a year ago. You sort of disappeared quietly, and I think everyone is wondering...why?
Darcy stands next to her husband, looking at him and allowing him his chance to speak. To explain. O'Malley nods before he answers Pussy's first question.
O'Malley: Well, Pussy, I know I briefly touched on that before me match against The Troll, but the simple answer is...family. Ye see, Darcy had found out she was pregnant around that time, and I just didn't want to miss out on everything. We discussed it, and I talked it over with Mark and Christian and they agreed to let me leave. And I don't regret it.
Pussy Willow: And as I understand it you welcomed twin daughters earlier this year. That had to make it difficult to return, didn't it?
Both O'Malley and Darcy nod, thinking about their young children at home.
O'Malley: Of course it did. But I also came back fer family. I defended me family against the lies that Trolly boy was spreadin', and next I'm gonna do whatever I can to make me family proud with this go around here in SCW. And if Trolly boy and his bottom of the barrel two cent hooker decide to—
As if on queue, who else should appear on scene than The Troll himself along with his girlfriend, Kitty...sorry Katherine Lytter! The Troll steps right up into O'Malley's face.
The Troll: Listen you half shaved ape! I thought I warned you about insulting MY woman like that!
O'Malley casts a glance over first toward darcy and then Pussy Willow, flashing his pearly whites in a bright smile, then looks to his personal adversary and blinks in wonder.
O'Malley: Oh, did you? That memory must have gotten lost somewhere in me mind. But then again, I don't generally pay very close attention to anything you say so you'll have to excuse me.
The Troll: I don't have to do anything, you deadbeat! This all started because all I did was try and tell people the truth about you - and about this two-faced BITCH...
He aims a fat finger in Darcy's direction, but O'Malley slaps his hand away, causing the Troll to yelp.
The Troll: That is ASSAULT!
O'Malley sneers.
O'Malley: Newsflash ya dryshite! Yer a wrestler! Comes with the territory! And for a man who just insulted me wife after getting butt hurt over me doin' the same to that piece of painted over trailer park trash you call yer woman, that just makes you as much a hypocrite as it does a liar!
But that is when Katherine steps up beside her man and faces off with O'Malley herself.
Katherine: Who are you callin' painted over trash you two-faced jackass!?
O'Malley: Two-faced? And how exactly am I two-faced?
Katherine rests a hand on her low-rider hips and takes a stance.
Katherine: Seriously? Your whole life is one two-faced moment after another. You act like you're some Daddy of the Year but if history tells us all anything, it's the moment something pretty passes your eye - like myself for example...
Both O'Malley and Darcy scoff and roll their eyes.
Katherine: You're going to ditch the skank here and whatever little crotch goblins you two spawned and move onto something...
But dredging up his past is a bad move as O'Malley steps forward.
O'Malley: Look... Kitty Lytter...!
Katherine: DON'T. CALL. ME. THAT!!!
And Katherine takes a swing to slap O'Malley but finds her blow blocked as Darcy swiftly grabs her by the wrist and Darcy slaps Katherine so hard it sends her into a tailspin! The Troll looks aghast as O'Malley barks out a laugh before Darcy takes him by the arm.
Darcy: Let's just go.
O'Malley nods and places a hand on her back and starts to escort her away when Katherine grabs two handfuls of Darcy's hair from behind and whips her around and shoves her to the floor! The Troll laughs when he gets a fist right in his mouth courtesy of O'Malley! It looks like Katherine is about to kick O'Malley low again when Darcy springs from the floor and tackles her before she can lay a hand/foot to her husband! The two women fall to the floor, scratching, clawing, pulling hair and trading fists as the SCW Universe watching cheers!
Crowd: CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT!
Security is soon swarming the area, pulling the two women apart as O'Malley works to get his wife separated from Katherine while the Troll is still on the floor, recovering from the shot and trying to get back up!
Backstage, the "White Wolf" Fenris is spotted walking through the backstage hallway, dressed in his street clothes of a white turtleneck sweater, skin-tight jeans torn at the knees and flip flops rather than shoes. The crowd watching on the SCW-Tron from inside of the arena cheer at the sight of the popular Superstar as he looks to be a man on a mission when...
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Excuse me, Fenris? Oh fenris! A moment please?
Fenris stops, and he rolls his eyes quite brazenly as he then closes his eyes and shakes his head.
Fenris: Oh for the love of...
He turns his head just as the comely Ms. Rocky Mountains hurries onto the scene with microphone in hand.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Oh thank you, for a moment I thought you didn't hear me.
Fenris: Why? Was that an option?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I beg your pardon?
Fenris: What ... do you want? I'm BUSY!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Oh, yes. I know that Christian has been taking names all day in consideration toward the World Championship match at Inception VI. But I was wondering if I could have a moment to discuss with you about Alexander Raven?
Fenris frowns and shakes his head.
Fenris: Who?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Alexander... Raven?
Fenris stares at her and shakes his head.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: The Internet Champion? ... The man you've been arguing with on social media? ... Calls you the Blind Wolf?
Fenris: OH! THAT asshole! What about him?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well, I wasn't certain you were aware of this but he's been in the offices off and on all day, negotiating with Mark and Christian. Apparently – he wants you at Inception VI for the Internet Championship?
Fenris frowns - BIG surprise!
Fenris: The Internet Championship...
Ms. Rocky nods.
Fenris: Are you fucking KIDDING me with this shit!?
Ms. Rocky flinches.
Fenris: WHY the HELL would I want to downgrade from the World title scene to second best!? Or in his case... third best! The guy can't even handle a battle of wits in an online social media setting! He'd be wasting his time - and mine - by wanting to get me inside of the ring! What would possibly make me want to lower myself to facing that second rated hack!?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well... the Internet Championship some say might be a good enough reason.
Fenris sneers.
Fenris: Raven has enough to worry about with O'Malley. O'Malley can have the match.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: But O'Malley might already be busy for Inception with the Troll...
Fenris: I don't care if it's ME he wants in January!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: But it IS you that the champion wants in January...
Fenris: And I don't care!
Alexander Raven: For a man who doesn't care, you stick your nose in my business a hell of lot, Fenris.
Alexander Raven pushes into scene on the opposite side of Ms. Rocky, jaw tensing as he squares up in front of Fenris.
Alexander Raven: You run your mouth on me for months. For months I have to listen to your bull, over and over. Like a pack of stray dogs, every damn way I turn. Second best, Blind Wolf? Second fucking best?
Raven shakes his head, pushing past Ms. Rocky and stepping into the face of Fenris.
Alexander Raven: But second best? Second fucking best to who, Fenris? Sure as hell not you. Nothing but a violent dog, yet to be put down... But it's okay.
Raven smiles, stretching his head side to side a little, rolling his shoulders.
Alexander Raven: I'll show you what 'second best' can do.
The Internet Champion walks past, shoulder checking Fenris en route. Fenris looks up into the air with a wistful smile and he shakes his head.
Fenris: That bitch is REALLY asking for it....
The hallway by his dressing room is empty, Mac Bane stares at the cameraman nearby and nods to him. He sets his travel bag down and addresses the audience.
Mac Bane: Well folks, once again we have people out there spreading lies about me and who I am. Not that it makes a bit of difference to them, and it won't change how hard I hit Mercer in the mouth. In the past, I've paid my respect to him, hell I even lost a wager because I've got so much respect for him.
The usual jovial expression that Bane wears on TV is gone, replaced by what can only be considered as nothing but disdain and disgust.
Mac Bane: You crossed a line you should have never crossed, Austin. You made a huge mistake and you're going to pay the price. You see, you called me a failure as a husband. I don't know many people who would make that claim, since they know I was by her side for weeks on end. I was in the ambulance with her.
He holds up a finger and you can tell he is choking back tears, he manages to get control of it and continues.
Mac Bane: I was in the ambulance with her when she died on that gurney. I helped the EMT resuscitate her. I know in this business we say a lot of things to try and get under the opponent's skin. You should have picked a different topic. Now, this has turned into a situation where I don't care if I win. The only thing that matters is hurting you.
The emotion starts to well up again but is cut off by the man's will alone.
Mac Bane:I hope you understand, it didn't have to be personal, but here we are.
Drew Patton is in the ring with O'Malley O'Malley Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...O'Malley The lights in the arena die down as the opening riffs of Gothic Celtic Music Shadow Wisps starts to play. The lights stay out for several seconds before dark green and white strobe lights start shining all around, and fog fills the entrance and along the ramp. Moments later, O'Malley steps through the curtain wearing a long black leather trench coat, joined by Darcy. They stand at the entrance for several moments before O'Malley takes the first step on their way to the ring, and Darcy follows closely behind. Justin: Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Darcy! From Dublin, Ireland...Weighing in at one hundred ninety-five pounds...O'MALLEY!! Once he makes it to the ring, he lets Darcy walk up the steps and follows behind her. He holds the ropes open for her, and she steps through, and he enters after her. They stand in the center of the ring where Darcy removes O'Malley's coat. She then leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek before making her way to the outside, as his music dies down leaving O'Malley to glare at the rampway. Justin: And his opponent... As all the lights dim, blue and red lights begin to flicker on the stage, and images of ravens flying appear on the screen. 'Ladies and Gentleman' as these words fill the arena a loud bang of pyro is joined with blinding white lights. These flicker rapidly for a few moments, 'because the devil has my throat,' as these words of the song flow out, out steps Alexander Raven into the center of the stage. He gazes across the crowd, pulling his cloak tightly around his shoulders, his eyes opened wide a slight smile tugging at his lips. The flashing of the lights stops. 'I am the powers that be!' in sync with these lines he throws his hands up, basking in the reaction of the crowd, beginning to slowly walk down the ramp. He strolls towards the ring leisurely, crossing his arms across his chest, head tilted back, soaking in the world around him. Slowly he begins to ascend the stairs to the left of the ramp, once in the ring, spinning his way to the center of the ring, dropping to his knees. He hunches over and places his fists on the canvas. 'I am the alpha! and the omega!' as soon as these words come out, he lifts himself backward slightly, the cloak slipping from his shoulders as he extends his arms to the sky, staring upwards, soaking everything in once again. Slowly he raises to his feet, pushing his cloak from the ring slowly with his foot. Justin: He is from Melbourne Australia, Alexander Raven. Justin leaves the ring as Drew Patton motions for both men to move into the center of the ring. Simone: Let's get to this one. Adams: I think that Drew heard you...he is motioning for the bell to get this night started. DING DING DING!
O'Malley and Alexander move to the middle of the ring where Drew motions and talks to the two of them calling for a clean match. As the ring bell is heard, the two men begin to circle before locking up with a collar and elbow tie-up. O'Malley manages to turn the hold into a side headlock that he uses to ground Raven who is powered down to one knee before he surges up and then pushes him into the ropes. O'Malley bounds off the ropes and catches a leaping Raven who attempted a lou thesz press. Shaking Raven back and forth, O'Malley uses the control to flip Alexander over with a belly-to-belly suplex. Alexander arches in pain as O'Malley pushes himself upward to rest on his heels as he looks to Patton who shakes his head. O'Malley rises to his feet as Raven moves towards the ropes and into the corner. Using the ropes, Raven pulls himself up and turns to see O'Malley charging toward him. Using the help of the ropes, Raven leaps upward and O'Malley goes into the corner shoulder first. Raven catches the body of O'Malley and pulls him out of the corner and into a suplex that sends him across the ring on his back.
Adams: Trading suplexes this early in the match is something we rarely see Belinda.
O'Malley gets to his feet as does Raven. The two men charge toward each other and take each other down with a clothesline. Both roll towards the ropes as Alexander rises quickly to charge at O'Malley and takes him down with a slingblade. O'Malley rolls to his hands and knees and when Alexander moves towards him, O'Malley gets to his feet and stops Raven with a right hand. Alexander answers with a roundhouse. The pair begin to trade rights and lefts. O'Malley's clubbing blows begin to stagger Alexander who backs away toward the corner. O'Malley follows him in and then shoves Alexander into the corner where O'Malley turns to use elbows back and forth into the head of Raven who covers in an attempt to protect his head. Patton calls on O'Malley to leave the corner and allow Alexander back into the middle of the ring. O'Malley moves into the center of the ring and plays to the crowd with a smile. He turns back as Alexander Raven has leaped onto the ropes and hits a springboard elbow that rocks O'Malley backward. Raven uses a thrust kick to knock O'Malley to the mat. Catching the head of O'Malley, Alexander uses a facewasher boot on the man.
Simone: That is definitely going to leave a mark.
O'Malley screams in pain as Alexander pulls him up and then hits an exploder suplex. He rises as O'Malley fights the pain in his neck. Raven kicks him straight and then hits a standing elbow drop on the prone O'Malley who clutches at his chest. Raven gets to his feet and then reaches down for O'Malley and pulling him to his feet, whips him across to the ropes. O'Malley rebounds off the ropes into a lou thesz press from Alexander who sits on the chest of O'Malley and begin to drop hard right hands on the downed O'Malley. Patton warns him to release O'Malley. Alexander stands and moves back as Drew checks on O'Malley who is rising slowly. As he gets to one knee, Alexander rushes over with an attempted shining wizard but O'Malley ducks under the kick. Raven is offset as O'Malley rushes up to begin to beat him towards the ropes. Alexander tries to protect himself and O'Malley is able to push him towards the corner. With Raven in the corner, O'Malley is able to grab the back of his head and then leap up to hit an awkward monkey flip that has Raven landing on his feet. He is able to back away enough to drop and roll to the outside where he looks for something to help him as O'Malley . Looking around, O'Malley rushes towards Raven and launches himself over the top rope to take Raven down to the floor. Both men are laid out breathing heavily as Jacob stands at the ropes to begin his ten count. O'Malley is the first to his feet and he moves toward Raven to pick him up and then pushes him into the ring apron. Using the momentum, Raven is rolled under the bottom rope. O'Malley gets on the ring apron then grabbing the top rope, he leapfrogs over with a kick to the face of Raven who grabs at his face.
Adams: This match is back and forth and I can't tell you who is going to win.
Simone: Well we definitely have two very good wrestlers in this match then Jason.
O'Malley reaches to his back as he rolls into the ring in pain. Climbing into the ring himself, Alexander spins him around and hits a sudden scoop slam then moves toward him intent on getting the pin but O'Malley is able to roll away from Raven and out of the ring. As Alexander moves closer to the ropes, O'Malley reaches under the ropes and pulls Raven off his feet. Dragging him by the leg, he pulls Alexander to the corner and then he moves the legs of Raven around each side of the ringpost and then putting his foot on the steel, he yanks on the feet of Raven which pulls him against the unforgiving steel. Clutching himself, Raven is defenseless as O'Malley once more grabs a leg and reaches for the other. Alexander tries to prevent him from grabbing it but is unsuccessful. Seeing the grin on O'Malley's face, Alexander pulls his legs towards him and drives O'Malley face first into the steel. Grabbing at his face, O'Malley staggers away as Raven pulls himself into the ring and backs away from the corner. Gingerly getting to his feet, Raven struggles to move and loosen the pain from his legs. O'Malley pulls his hand away to see that a small cut has been opened on his face. Angered he charges toward the ring and slides under the ropes only to be met with a baseball slide that sends him out again.
Simone: If he keeps doing things like that Jason, all he is going to do is anger O'Malley.
O'Malley gets to his feet and slams his hands on the apron before reaching up to the top rope and pulling him onto the ring apron. Alexander swings at the head of O'Malley who blocks it then grabs the head of Raven and hangs him over the top rope which slingshots him into the middle of the ring. O'Malley rolls into the ring as Alexander straightens up. O'Malley charges towards him with bad intentions as Raven ducks under a clothesline. Straightening up, Alexander uses a thrust kick on the throat of a turning O'Malley that has him staggering backwards. Raven follows him and kicks him in the midsection. With O'Malley doubled over, Alexander uses a standing elbow drop on the back of O'Malley then pulls his arms into a lock with his own. Raven spins him over and then pulls him upwards into the Raven's spine. Rushing a few steps, Alexander drops him to the mat. O'Malley bounces off the mat and then is rolled over onto his stomach. Raven spins and then crawls towards the downed O'Malley and rolls him over to his back and then catches the legs to roll O'Malley up for the pin but the Irishman forces his shoulder off the mat. O'Malley rises as does Raven but the Irishman surges upward with a vicious European uppercut that sends Alexander to the canvas.
Raven is laid out on the mat face down not moving as O'Malley gets to his hands and knees and then moves to tie up his opponent into the Celtic knot. Stepping back, O'Malley looks down at the champion then levels him with a kick that 'unties' the knot. Drew drops to the mat to check on Alexander who is fading and beginning to tap out to the Celtic Crush that O'Malley had locked in on his opponent.
Adams: O'Malley is making a statement tonight.
Adams: Alexander Raven is struggling to escape the hold but O'Malley is keeping him in the hold.
Simone: And there it is...Raven taps out...Let go of the hold O'Malley!
Adams: And that is that Belinda.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, P'Malley!
o'Malley moves to the corner and holding his midsection, he slowly climbs the turnbuckles as the fans react to the win.
Adams: O'Malley really took it to the champion tonight Belinda.
Simone: Which makes me wonder...will a title match be in his future with a win over the champion?
Alexander stands on the mat looking over the fans before he leaves the ring to head backstage as O'Malley stands tall on the turnbuckles.
We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Crystal Zdunich. The blue haired woman is all smiles as she looks over at two figures. One figure is a new face and one we really seen much of in SCW all that much. It is a petite woman with blonde hair and pink streaks in her hair. They are in a room with balloons everywhere as well as a huge stuffed Teddy bear. The number 36 is pasted all over the wall as we can see Crystal speaking which actually gains a few cheers from the crowd.
Crystal: So is everything ready Dawn?!
That petite woman smiles as she showcases a birthday cake. She smiles warmly and we can identify that woman as being the younger sister of Teddy Warren. Dawn giggles as she looks at Crystal.
Dawn: Of course I am ready! After all tonight we are going to honor my big dork of a brother. Yesterday was his huge day. I can't believe he is 36 years old. He is old... He is SUPER OLD... Even though he will try to fool the crowd will his afro he is just trying to cover up his receeding hairline!
Crystal: Yeah... Anyway he deserves all of this tonight. I know things have been rough for him since the divorce from Kate but he can turn things around. He is a great father and just needs to work on being a better person. However I feel like this could help his morale.
Dawn: Yeah and hopefully he can get off of my case. Honestly the over protective brother can be a little over-bearing. You should see the way he tries to tell me who I can or can't date. You should see him whenever a pretty girl or handsome boy approaches me. He is quick to swarm me.
Crystal: Now look at you dating Melissa Chavez from Rose Productions board of directors. He is going to have a fit...
Dawn: Yeah... He hasn't really found out about that and...
Crystal shrugs her shoulders as she looks deeply into the eyes of Dawn.
Crystal: Oh by the way! Thank you for being here and I know SCW is going to be seeing more of you. Look at the camera is looking at you.
Dawn smirks as she sees the camera looking at her face. She cracks a giggle.
Dawn: Hi everyone! BA DA DA DA DAHHHHHHHHHHHHH PUPPY POWER!!!!!!!!! My name is Dawn Warren and I am the Pink Puppy! You might know me from a few years ago when I thought about signing up for the Blast From The Past. Anyway I am the youngest sibling of Teddy Warren. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school class. I graduated from college Summa Cum Laude in journalism. Anyway I am here to let you know that I have received the blessing from Crystal and I am going to be bringing back the Rose Garden but calling it Puppy Power. The best things come in the smallest of all packages and I guarantee it will be great!
With that being said Teddy walks into the room. As soon as they do the two women smile as they look at him. The light is flicked as candles are lit.
Dawn: Happy Birthday big brother!
Crystal: Happy Birthday!!!
Teddy walks into the room giggles as she walks over to the cake and blows it out.
Teddy: It's my birthday!!!!!!
Crystal: Yep I will let you two enjoy the cake. I got some stuff to do at the ring.
With that Crystal walks away leaving the Two Warrens in the room by themselves.
Christian Underwood sits in his office, seemingly deep in thought as a mound of paperwork sits in front of him on his desk. He sighs as his door swings open, revealing Jack Washington. Washington marches into the office with zero regard for Christian, as he stares back at Jack.
Christian: Can I help you, Mr. Washington?
Jack cracks a sarcastic grin.
Jack: Well, I'll be damned. You know my name. You remembered me. It must be my lucky day.
Christain rolls his eyes in response.
Christian: Look, we're working on the roster page. But that cannot be the reason you just barged into my office.
Jack: You're right, it's not. I'm just going to cut to the chase. How much longer am I going to be disrespected? I just wanna ball park that.
Christian: Bursting into my office isn't a good way to start.
Jack: No, that's where you're wrong. This is the only way to get some action around here. You have been sitting on your hands all this time and not giving me the respect I deserve. You put me in the ring against Mac Bane, and I beat him. You put me against Fenris, and I beat him too. How many more hoops are you going to make me jump through? When am I going to get some damn respect around here?
Christain simply blinks a few times.
Jack: Oh, you want to play cool now, right? Give me that "Boss" face? Okay, you do that. But the reason you're doing that, is you know I'm right. I've laid out FACTS to you. You can do the smart thing, the right thing and give me what I deserve, or you can sit there with your pride and your attitude and do that. I'm telling you I should be the World champion, and you know it.
Jack stares at Christian, who stares back. Christian finally speaks up.
Christian: I have never doubted your abilities, Mr. Washington, and there has been an oversite on the roster, and yes, you have won the last two times against quality opponents. It's all been taken into consideration.
Jack: Consideration?
Christian: Yes, consideration. You have earned that. But don't push your luck. Is there anything else we need to discuss?
Jack: You've got to be kidding me. Fine, you wanna push me, don't be surprised when I push back. Just so we're clear.
Christian: Cute. Now, unless you have anything else, get out.
Jack marches up to the desk, slamming his hands on them. He stares Christian dead in the face.
Jack: You know I'm right.
Christian: And I know you're not going to bully me into anything. Out. Now.
Jack: You know I'm right.
Jack stands up straight, and starts to exit the office but the moment he grasps the door handle and pulls the office door open, there stands none other than another former champion in the form of Matthew "the Raven" Knox. Christian groans and drops his forehead to the surface of his desk with a rather audible thump. This causes Jack and Matthew to turn to face the boss man rather than each other.
Christian: I am never going to finish these negotiations at this point!
He lifts his head just enough to look first to Jack and then to Knox.
Christian: Let me guess. You heard about the opening for the World heavyweight Championship challenger at Inception VI and as a former champion who didn't get his rematch, you thought...?
Christian motioned with both hands, an inquiring raising of the brow...
Christian: Am I getting close?
The camera goes to the backstage area where Mac Bane can be seen traversing the hallways. The camera picks up on arguing, and the big man just shakes his head as he finds the door he's looking for. On the door is the name of one of the company owners Christian Underwood. He raps politely at the door and silence comes from the room. He knocks again and hears a terse voice from the other side, "Come In". Mac slowly swings the door open to see Matt Knox and Jack Washington standing across from where Underwood sits.
Christian: Finally! Someone with some manners around here.
Mac studies the other two, both staring daggers at him, this makes him smile.
Mac: Well, well, what do we have here? Oh, I know.
He moves farther into the room and closes the door behind him.
Mac: We have one man, who's beaten me twice and is betting that's enough that he deserves a title shot. Then we have a songbird who's come back to his gilded cage who has a rematch clause he can cash in.
Silence hangs in the air, surrounded by unbridled animosity.
Mac: They're both right to want the shot. Just as I have a rematch clause that I could cash in. I guess the only question left is how the owner handles it. We can stand here and argue all night but the simple fact is we all have a claim to it. The other thing to remember boys is that it's his call. Not mine, or yours Jacki O, or yours Knox.
Mac smiles at Christian and nods.
Mac: Again, sorry for interrupting.
As with the other two, Mac stands by and waits for Christian to say something. He listens to the clock on the wall tick as they wait. Unfrustrated and unphased by the passage of time. Christian looks between all three men before he finally exhales sharply.
Christian: You three have put me into a very difficult position here, you understand that, right? On one hand, we have two former World Heavyweight Champions who have yet to get their return matches... of course in one case, one of those men...
He jerks his head toward Matthew Knox.
Christian: ... Took a leave of absence before he could be given one, but the point remains the same. On the other hand, we also have another former two-time champion...
This time he motions toward Jack who smirks, quite proud of himself.
Christian: Who has been incredibly impressive as of late, having beaten Mac here and Fenris just this past week.
Jack: So, I get the title shot, right?
All heads turn toward Christian.
Christian: Technically.
Jack beams and the other two look almost disappointed or mutinous.
Jack: There, you see? You can be reason-what do you mean 'technically'!?
Christian: Well, it's like I said. All three of you make for great cases as to why you should get the title shot against the winner of tonight's Main Event. I could easily make you three fight for it next week but Knox is going to have his hands full with Chris Page. Then I also got to thinking... why should I have to decide?
He pauses with a frown.
Christian: It's so unfair to me, you know? So, here's my decision. It's the first Supercard of 2023 and we want it to be major, right? So...
Jack: Don't say it!
Christian: The winner of tonight's Main Event will defend against Jack Washington ... Matthew Knox ... AND Mac Bane in a Fatal Fourway match at Inception VI!
Jack turns to the other two, fuming.
Jack: He said it!
Christian: Any objections?
Matthew Knox and Mac Bane both shake their heads but Jack is glaring at the boss man.
Jack: Would it matter if we did!?
Christian shakes his head in the negative.
Christian: Not really. But it was polite of me to ask.
Knox and Bane take their leave and Jack continues to stare at Christian who just waves buh-bye with his fingers, prompting Jack to storm out of the office, slamming the door behind him.
Simone: It's not often that we get gym mates clashing on Climax Control but that's what we've got for our next match! It's Bella Madison vs. Alicia Lukas, both representing Wolfslair!
Adams: We last saw Bella utterly destroy Crystal Hilton in a Steet Fight and then declare her desire for a rematch with Kayla for the Bombshell Internet Title, Alicia on the other hand hasn't been seen in months but now that she's back she's looking to get back on top!
Adams: This should be a great match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is a special Wolfslair vs. Wolfslair Match!
Arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Year's Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows, climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kickpads.
Justin: Introducing first, from New York, New York, BELLA MADISON!
The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing her wrestling gear along with a ring jacket with the hood up and starts making her way to the ring.
Simone: Bella has had quite the 2022, including having to miss several months of action due to a concussion, getting that rematch would be a great way to kick off the new year!
Adams: Especially if she wins!
Towards the end of the chorus she hops up on the ring side and climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket with a smirk and a wink as the song fades out.
Justin: And her opponent!
"Circle with me (SCW Edit)" By Spiritbox hits as Alicia steps out with a black hoodie over her upper half with the hood up over her long blond hair. She stands on the stage and reaches up flipping the hood back and looking down at the ring before pointing her finger guns with a smirk. She makes her way down to the ring and runs up the steps before climbing the ropes on the outside, she flips the hood back before putting her arms out , she smiles at the crowd before leaping into the ring from the outside and taking off the hoodie.
Justin: From Atlanta, Georgia, she is the "Strong Style Southern Belle" Alicia Lukas!
Simone: 2022 hasn't been a great year for Alicia either, the former champion suffered several high-profile losses and an upset loss to the current Bombshell Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos!
Adams: We should note that not only was Ari vs. Alicia a rematch but it was also Ari's last Climax Control match before she won the title if that's not motivating Alicia tonight nothing will!
Jasmine goes over the rules with the two blonde bombshells before they share a handshake out of mutual respect and the bell is rung!
DING DING DING!
Simone: And this unique match is underway!
Adams: Wolfslair vs. Wolfslair, Madison vs. Lukas, you gotta love it!
Once the bell rings Bella and Alicia lock up in the middle of the ring before Alicia locks the younger Bombshell in an arm wringer, Bella winces in pain before she does a forward flip, rolls to her feet, and then sweeps the legs from under Alicia causing the veteran to break her hold on Bella right as Bella floats over into a pinning attempt on Alicia which Alicia wastes little time in getting out off! Both women get to their feet and are at a standstill as the crowd applauds.
Simone: These two women have trained together at Wolfslair, off course they know each other well!
Adams: And even if they didn't train at the same place, both Alicia and Bella have been around long enough for their to be plenty of archive footage of their matches!
Alicia breaks the stalemate by knocking Bella loopy with a running Lariat! The crowd boos the former World Bombshell Champion but she shrugs her shoulders before she goes for the first pin of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
And Bella gets the shoulder up! Alicia shakes her head before she grabs Bella's leg and locks in a Single Leg Boston Crab! Jasmine gets into position to ask Bella is she wants to submit but the New Yorker is adamant that she won't give up the match that easily as she tries to go to the ring ropes to break the hold! All this does in the end though is allow Alicia to put a stop to that and drag Bella back to the centre of the ring!
Simone: Alicia has the control in the early going!
Adams: But Bella has heart for days and she will find a way out of this!
Alicia gives up on the Single Leg Crab and changes position hoping to try for another move but Bella pulls her in for a Small Package before she can get the chance!
ONE!
TWO!
And Alicia gets the shoulder up before she rolls to the ring apron and uses the ring ropes to pull herself up! Bella tries to keep the offence up by charging at Alicia for a spear but Alicia sidesteps it and whilst Bella is able to stop herself from taking a tumble to the outside it leaves her open to a kick to the face from Alicia sending the New Yorker backflipping back into the ring! Alicia waits for Bella to get back to her feet and when she does Alicia hits a Slingshot Spear knocking the wind out of her Wolfslair teammate!
Simone: Alicia's experience paid dividends again!
Adams: We'll see in a moment if the same can be said for Bella's heart because Alicia's going for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Bella gets the shoulder up! Rather than keep the offence up immediately though Alicia drags Bella to the nearest corner and signals that she wants to fly!
Simone: Alicia isn't well known for her high flying but she has several moves of that style in her arsenal!
Adams: Maybe what she has in mind will put Bella away!
Alicia heads to the top rope and goes for her Frog Splash Elbow Drop only for Bella to roll out of the way at the last second causing the move to hit nothing but mat! Alicia grits her teeth in pain as she clutches her arm and Bella sees the opportunity in front of her before she charges in and hits Alicia with a running Hurricanrana! Bella doesn't get a chance to go for the pin though because she forgot to hold on for an attempt and Alicia uses the momentum from the move to retreat to the outside!
Simone: If Alicia knows Bella as well as she should then she'll know that Bella is as comfortable in the air as she is on the ground!
Adams: Alicia could be luring Bella into a trap or she could be reeling from missing her high-flying move, who knows?
Bella measures up Alicia as she stalks around the outside of the ring before Bella charges the ropes and hits her Wolfslair teammate with a Tope Suicida! The move brings the crowd to their feet and Bella takes a moment to pose for the crowd before she picks up Alicia and rolls her back into the ring, Bella then heads to the top rope and hits Alicia with a Moonsault before she goes for the pin on Alicia!
ONE!
TWO!
And Alicia kicks out! But Bella isn't done going to the top rope, in fact she calls out for her high-flying finisher!
Simone: Bella's going for the Second Gen!
Adams: If she hits this then she'll have pinned two former World Bombshell Champions in a row!
Bella goes for the Phoenix Splash only for Alicia to get the knees up! This knocks the wind right out of Bella as Alicia gets back to her feet and leaves the New Yorker open to the Georgia Drop!
Simone: GEORGIA DROP! Alicia hits it!
Adams: Bella isn't kicking out of that! Stick a fork in her, she's done!
Alicia goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Alicia Lukas!
Simone: Alicia gets the win in the clash of Wolfslair!
Adams: All the credit in the world to Bella as she put up one hell of a fight but in the end Alicia's experience paid off!
Alicia and Bella share one last handshake before Alicia celebrates her win and Jasmine checks on Bella.
Backstage, SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas graces our screen as backstage interviewer Ms. Rocky Mountains stands by for an on-the-spot interview.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mercedes, congratulations on last week. You beat fellow Hall of Famer Jessie Salco and earned a long overdue win in SCW since September and first on Climax Control going all the back to June.
Mercedes: That's right, Rocky. And to tell you the truth, I feel pretty good after last week.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: As you should. However, Jessie feels differently about that as she tweeted she wasn't focused as her cousin was hospitalized literally minutes before the match following being assaulted by Melissa earlier in the show.
Mercedes rubs her thumb and forefinger together as she pretended being concerned.
Mercedes: Booo hoo, let me play a sad song on the world's smallest violin.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Come on, Mercedes. That's not fair.
Mercedes gives a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders.
Mercedes: Turns out karma is a bigger bitch then I could ever be and poor little Jessie found out that lesson the hard way. Serves her right after talking all that trash. Jessie could pick anybody in the locker room, but I feel like I'm the last person you probably want to talk shit about. I have a long memory, she knows this.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Changing the subject now, I understand you have a major announcement for tonight.
Mercedes: Yes, and I would like to make that announcement right now: I will be competing at the last SCW event of 2022 next week. Against who, I don't know, I'm not sure. But it's going to be fun to find out.
Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall!!!
The lights shut off as "Madusa" by Times of grace 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: Currently in the ring, standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 265 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!!! Austin James Mercer!!!
The crowd is giving them a mixed reaction from the first sounds. The booing is almost thunderous. He laughs as they make their way toward the ramp.
They only get louder as the pair make their way towards the ring, they walk slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring.
Finally, they reach the ring steps and make their way into the ring.
Mac approaches the center of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs as the boos reached a crescendo.
Justin: And his opponent, standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 280 pounds!! Hailing from Port Arthur, Texas!! Accompanied to the ring by "Chronic" Chris Page!! Mac Bane!!!!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as both men charge in on each other and start to clobber each other with heavy blows, punching each other to see who will get the upper hand straight up. We see Austin block a punch from Mac Bane before kneeing him in the midsection. Wrapping his arms around the midsection of the former champion after forcing Mac Bane to drop his upper body forward. Setting Mac up for a Guttwrench Suplex, but Mac follows it up by running forward and driving his forearm into the midsection of Austin and sending him into the turnbuckles. There Mac drives his shoulders into the midsection of Austin James Mercer several times before grabbing him by the arm and whips him hard into the turnbuckles on the opposite side. Causing Austin to stagger backwards due to the impact. Mac grabs him and executes a Backsuplex before getting up and runs to the ropes before coming off with a running knee drop that hits Austin in the face before going for the cover
ONE!
Austin kicks out at the count of one, showing that he has plenty of energy left. Mac gets up and starts to punch away at the forehead of Austin as Austin attempts to block the punches by getting his hands up.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Mac stops the punches to the face of Austin as he gets up and stalks Dawn Barnes into the corner, trying to intimidate the official before turning around and walks straight into a kick in the midsection from Mercer who has gotten back to his feet. Austin blasts forearm blows to the back of Mac Bane before wrapping his massive arms around the midsection and lifts Mac Bane up in the air before executing a Buckle Bomb on Mac Bane that gets the crowd up to their feet in excitement
Simone: Good Grief!! Did you see that Jason??
Adams: Saw it?? I felt it!!!!
Austin drags Mac Bane to the middle of the ring before going for the cover with his forearm pushed across the face of Mac Bane
ONE!
TWO!
Mac gets his shoulder off the canvas as that stops the three count from Dawn Barnes, Austin immediately starts to use closed fists to punch away at the face of Mac Bane who in return wraps his hands across the throat of Austin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Both men stop with what they were doing as both moves would cause a disqualification. Austin grabs Mac by the hair and pulls him up to his feet while Dawn is using the five count once more, Mac gets positioned for a Powerbomb in the middle of the ring, but Mac Bane uses his girth to make it impossible for Austin to lift him up. Austin starts to deliver a few more forearm blows to the back of Mac before going for another try when suddenly Austin buckles down and falls on his back.
Simone: What just happened??
Dawn looks around as well as she was too busy warning Austin about the blows to the back of Mac Bane as she clearly had missed what happened as well. We see a replay of that moment where we see a closeup of Mac Bane hitting a low blow to Austin as that forced him to buckle down and fall on his back.
Simone: Good Grief, I had not expected that from Mac!!!
Mac Bane slowly gets to a standing position, shaking his head to the question of Dawn as she asked him if he had done anything illegal. Mac grabs the legs of Austin James Mercer and spreads them before dropping a headbutt to the lower region of Austin before grabbing him by the throat and starts to choke him.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Mac lets go and stares Dawn down before grabbing a fistful of hair as he drags him towards the corner and starts to deliver knife edge chops to the chest of Austin before setting him up for an Irish Whip that Austin reverses. Austin follows it up with running behind Mac Bane and drives his knee into the back of Mac Bane before grabbing him by the head and executes a reverse neck breaker before executing a kipup and executes a leg drop across the throat of Mac Bane and goes for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
TH...
Mac manages to kick out as Austin wraps his massive arm around the throat and starts to wear him down with a reverse chinlock. Mac is extending his arm towards the ropes in a futile attempt to grab the rope to make Dawn to break the grip that Austin has on him. Only to have Austin to pull him down on the canvas while retaining the tight grip around the head of the member from The Saviors.
Simone: I wonder whether Mac can get out of this tight grip from Austin!!
Mac is slowly stirring, trying to roll over on his side as Austin tightens the grip even more on him. We see the eyes of Mac slowly fading as his arm is slowly dropping as well. This causes Dawn to grab his arm and lifts it up in the air before letting it drop, she returns the move and lets go as the arm drops once again.
Adams: It looks like Mac could be out.
Dawn raises the arm one more time, but this time Mac manages to surprise Austin by yanking it towards him and pushes Austin shoulders first on the canvas as he has pulled him down on his back
ONE!
TWO!
Mac lets go as both men get to their feet, both charge towards each other as both men execute a running clothesline that drops both of them to the canvas at the same time.
ONE!

Simone: Neither men is moving, I wonder who will get up first!!!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
We see both men stir as they are reaching for the ropes on opposite side of the ring.
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
Both men have gotten to their feet as they are standing in opposite corners of the ring while staring each other down.
Adams: I don't like the looks on either rmen, both can really drink each other's blood!!!
Austin gestures towards Mac to bring it, causing Mac Bane to scream in agony before charging in on him as Austin does the same. Both men start to pound way as two rabid dogs, hitting each other with forearm shots at the same time as Dawn Barnes has no chance in hell to contain either man and decides them to continue. Mac blocks a forearm before whipping Austin into the ropes as he charges towards Austin, only to eat a big boot as Austin has gotten his leg up at the latest moment possible. Staggering Mac Bane backwards as Austin measures him with a running leaping shoulderblock that plants Mac Bane into the canvas as he immediately goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...
Mac gets his shoulder up at the final moment of the three count, causing Austin James Mercer to stare at Dawn Barnes and shakes his head in disbelief. He decides it is time for him to finish the match as he pulls Mac Bane to his feet. Pushing him into the ropes before whipping him to the opposite side and hits him with the Pop Up Powerbomb
Simone: Legacy Bomb!!!!
Austin covers Mac Bane, hooks both legs as Dawn Barnes starts to use the three count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match by pinfall!! Austin James Mercer!!!
Austin slowly rolls of Mac Bane as he is trying to regain his composure and catch his breath. He rolls out of the ring and raises his arms in victory himself while staring down Mac Bane who slowly has gotten up to a seated position and stares Austin down as well.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the Aussie Bombshell Krystal Wolfe watching some footage on her phone.
Pussy: What are you watching?
Krystal looks up and sees SCW Interviewer Pussy Willow walking up to her.
Krystal: Cassie's first title wins in Full Force Pro and Modern Pro Wrestling from this past week.
Pussy: OH! I had heard about that! Can I see?
Krystal nods before showing Pussy the closing moments of the match that saw The Inferno Wolves win the FFP Women's Tag Team Titles from The Obsession followed by the ten woman match for the MPW TV Title where Cassie pinned Betty Yung after The Coronation to win her first ever singles title.
Pussy: You must be so proud of her.
Krystal: Considering it was a year ago this week that I discovered her training at the PTA Gym? Yeah, I am! But I can think of one other Bombshell on the roster who's even more proud of Cass than I am, after all, if it weren't for Team Hero's training, there's no guarantee that Cassie would've won either of those titles!
Pussy: In other words, you're talking about Roxi!
Krystal: Considering Keira retired after High Stakes XII? Yeah, that should be pretty obvious! And I'm guessing you're here to talk about the match between me and Roxi and not how my kid cousin is doing?
Pussy: Yeah, I got side-tracked by the wrestling footage you were watching! After everything Roxi has done for you and Cassie, can you keep things professional tonight as you try to get a win?
Krystal: No offence Pussy but you should know the answer to that already! Whilst I have great respect for both members of Team Hero and have had great battles against both women, once that bell rings I've always been all business.
Pussy: Off course but this is your first time taking on Roxi in singles action!
Krystal: And the Roulette Title Match between me and Keira at this year's Inception was our first ever meeting in singles competition as well, last I checked? I didn't lose that title until after I was eliminated from Blast from the Past!
Pussy: You think your track record against Keira will give you an edge against Roxi?
Krystal: Not a complete edge, it doesn't take a genius of wrestling knowledge to know that Keira and Roxi are completely different competitors in the ring! But I will say that based on track records alone? My chances of winning tonight's match are slightly higher and if that's what it takes for me to close tonight's chapter with a huge win? Then it'll be worth it to strike Roxi down with the Down Under Thunderbomb.
Krystal lets out a deep breath as she thinks back over the past cycle.
Krystal: That said? I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't hoping for easier competition heading into the New Year!
Pussy: Well, yeah, your past two matches were against Masque and Roxi!
Krystal: I know that say that it takes pressure to make a diamond, but there is such a thing as too much pressure! Ultimately it's up to the bosses but if I am in action on the last show of the year? I am at least hoping for an easier match!
Krystal walks off as the scene fades.
Simone: This next match is going to be amazing. You will have one of SCW's long time Hall of Famers taking on a woman who is being looked upon as the next big thing.
Adams: Roxi Johnson versus Krystal Wolfe. It doesn't get any better than this!
The opening to "Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the lights dim, once the music kicks into high gear strobe lights flash around the entrance ramp before a single spotlight stops on Krystal as she kneels on one knee with her head down and hood up.
Justin: Introducing first, hailing from Adelaide, Australia she is "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!
Once the lyrics hit Krystal removes her hood and looks out to the crowd before standing up and making her way down to the ring, she hops onto the apron before jumping over the ropes and into the ring where she removes the jacket and waits for her opponent.
Justin: And her opponent from Tampa Florida, Roxi Johnson!!!
The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.
Roxi Johnson and Krystal are both standing in the ring as they are both given the speech by Jacob Summers. He looks at the both of them before he glances over at ringside and asks for a bell to sound. The bell sounds soundly as things are quickly under way.
DING DING DING!
Roxi walks over to Krystal and offers her an extended hand. Wolfe thinks about it for a few moments before she confronts Roxi and the two of them shake hands to signify their showing of respect. The crowd roars in excitement as they are cheering both women as things officially get underway. The veteran Roxi just analyzes her opponent as Krystal circles around her opponent trying to decide her first move. Wolfe finally decides to strike as she reaches out to grab Roxi but the Florida native is quick as she instead sweeps the Australian off of her feet with a leg sweet. Krystal is brought down to the ground as Roxi continues by grabbing a hold of Krystal's legs and placing her into a sharpshooter.
Simone: We are only minutes into the match and Roxi has a sharpshooter locked in the center of the ring.
Adams: The veteran's game plan is to wear down Krystal and hopefully it pays dividends to her.
Krystal screams as pressure is applied to her back. Jacob Summers is there to ask Krystal if she gives up but the Australian is resilient as she passionately screams no. She pushes herself up off of the mat using her upper body to send Roxi falling backwards into a barrel roll. Krystal is able to bring herself up to her feet as Roxi slowly follows suit rising up in return. Wolfe is already on both feet and without hesitation Krystal begins to take off as she runs at the Tampa native and takes her off of her feet with a powerful spear that sends her right against the canvas. Krystal rises up as Roxi struggles in pain. Krystal however lays the boots right against Johnson's back which causes the woman to scream in pain.
Simone: Krystal is being vicious tonight and I think that Roxi's back may be in a world of pain after that spear.
Adams: If it wasn't those boots to the back are just going to add onto what Roxi is feeling.
Krystal doesn't bother with a pin fall attempt as she instead screams for Roxi to get up. Johnson just favors her back but she is a fighter as she slowly makes it to her feet. Krystal is on the prowl as she immediately grabs a hold of Roxi and plants her hard into the mat with a spinebuster that would make anybody say "Damn Man Damn"... Roxi lets out a howling scream that could be heard to the upper deck of the Mechanics Bank Arena as she screams from the work being done to her back.
Simone: Krystal is vicious tonight and after dropping the ball in her World title match she is trying to prove a point tonight.
Adams: There was a reason why Krystal was one of the top bombshells from over a year ago and she is showing it tonight.
Krystal drops down and begins to hook a leg for the pin fall.
ONE!
TWO!
Roxi is able to get a shoulder up but Krystal doesn't even give Roxi breathing room. She is immediately on the prowl again as she goes to pick up Johnson. She begins to chop Roxi hard against the chest. She does it over and over again. She attempts another chop but it is at that moment where Roxi is able to throw her legs around that arm dropping down to the mat and placing her into a cross arm-breaker. Roxi pulls at the arm and has it on locked tightly. Krystal screams as she feels her arm start to be pulled out of the socket.
Simone: Finally! Roxi is able to get a move on Krystal and she is going to rip the arm out.
Adams: Krystal needs to find a way out of this move or the momentum will shift in Roxi's favor.
Krystal uses her free arm to drive punch after punch against Johnson's leg. Roxi however doesn't let up as she squeezes tighter than before. However Krystal is persistent as she doesn't stop. She drives even more punches which causes Roxi's grip to loosen a bit. Finally Roxi let's go of her grip and that is when Krystal goes on the prowl. She is able to position herself on top of Roxi and delivers some shots at her face. Roxi rolls over which sends Krystal to fall off of her. The two women begin to make it to their feet. Krystal stands tall and screams at Roxi to come at her. Johnson does exactly as told and that is when Krystal launches a super kick in Roxi's direction. Roxi ducks underneath it and runs towards the turnbuckles once she reaches them she leaps off of them and launches herself at Krystal. She manages to grab her and takes Wolfe down with a springboard ddt which causes the entire crowd to erupt. Krystal is planted directly against the mat as both women are now on the floor.
Simone: What a ddt!
Adams: That was the opening Roxi needed and let's see how she capitalizes this opportunity.
Krystal is grabbing at her head in pain as Roxi makes it up to her feet. She stares down at Krystal before she decides to sprint towards the ropes. She leaps off of them backwards and lands flush against Krystal's unconscious body with her trademark Reality Bites move. She remains on top of Krystal as she hooks a leg for a pin fall.
ONE!
TWO!
Krystal is able to kick out of the move as Roxi is a little lost for words. She keeps her eyes on Krystal before she decides to ascend to the top of the ropes. She looks behind her as she uses the ropes to do her Superstar press. Krystal moves out of the way but Roxi was anticipating resistance as she lands on her feet. Krystal is finally on her feet but Roxi doesn't give Krystal a chance to breathe as she suddenly throws her legs around the neck of Krystal looking for a hurricanrana, the problem is Krystal remains standing as she doesn't go down.
Simone: Roxi tried for a hurricanrana but Krystal isn't going down.
Adams: If I didn't know any better it looks like Krystal has Roxi set up for Down Under Thunderbomb
Krystal grins as she begins to run with Roxi up high and looks to end it all. She goes to throw Roxi but the Floridian refuses to go down without a fight as she yanks down as hard as she can and sends Krystal down to the ground with a hurricanrana. Krystal is taken to the ground as Roxi rises up to her feet to a loud ovation from the crowd. Krystal however is frustrated as she charges at an unsuspecting Roxi but the Floridian shocks the entire crowd by leaping backwards nailing Krystal in the head with a pele kick that rattles her. Krystal is in a daze as Roxi grabs a hold of the blue haired woman and delivers a quick snap suplex that sends her off of her feet.
Simone: Roxi is getting things going here and she has the entire crowd behind her.
Adams: Now she needs to put Krystal away so she can pick up the win!
Roxi signals to the ground that she is going to look for her Justice Lock. She walks over to Krystal and looks to be positioning her for the move but Krystal kicks Roxi away from her. Krystal kips up to her feet and it is at that moment that Roxi makes her way towards Wolfe who delivers a massive double knee facebreaker. Roxi pops back up and Krystal doesn't waste any time as she tries to go for a clothesline. Roxi is able to duck underneath it. Roxi sprints towards the ropes and she launches herself off of the ropes. She nails Krystal in the head with a Ray of Hope Kick that sends Krystal tumbling to the ground. Roxi doesn't hesitate as she hooks a leg for the pin fall.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Simone: Roxi Johnson has done it!
Adams: After a Ray of Hope kick Roxi Johnson has won this match tonight!
Justin: The winner of this match as a result of a pin fall is Roxi Johnson!!!!!!!
Jacob raises Roxi's arm high into the air. She smirks as she keeps it upwards. Krystal reaches for her head in pain as she rolls out of the ring and slowly walks up the ramp keeping her eyes fixated on Roxi Johnson.
The crowd in Bakersfield is going nuts waiting to see what they can expect. All of a sudden that is when the loud sounds of Roses by Goldlink blasts all over the speakers. As it does we see Crystal Zdunich making her way to the ring. The crowd just offers her a mixed reaction and she actually extends her hand out as she slaps some of outstretched hands of the fans before she slides into the ring. She calls for a microphone as she begins to speak.
Crystal: From the bottom of my heart can I just say what is up BAKERSFIELD?!?!?!
The crowd offers a pop in return as she just shakes her head and begins to speak.
Crystal: Anyway everybody knows who I am and I am here to once again give everybody an update about my in ring career in SCW. I know that people might see me competing in the ring in other companies which is always a good thing but when it comes to SCW the medical doctors have still not cleared me and I just need to respect their decision.
Crystal nods her head as the crowd begins to boo.
Crystal: There's no reason to boo. I don't like it as much as any of you do. I wrestle in so many different companies but SCW is my home. It has been my home for the past 7 years or so. The real sad thing is that I am more active now then I was for the past couple of months which I am okay with. As much as I been through so much. I just want to be in that ring again. I want to pour my heart and all into doing what I do best. I know Bella probably thinks that she sent me packing from this company but there is fight in me yet and I refuse to not be here. I love all of you way too much for that. As I sit on the sideline because of concussion protocol I just want to say that I will support bombshell wrestling. People want to talk me down like I am worthless but I am the ONLY woman or person in general who has won the world title FIVE times in this company. There will be a moment where I chase after six and I won't be stopped. I will persevere. I will be better and this rose will always blossom.
The crowd begins to cheer Crystal's name over and over again. She smirks pacing around the ring as she speaks some more.
Crystal: Anyway Bella gave me two options on Social Media this week. They flat out told me to go away, but as much as that might sound to some, but I am too determined to do it, but instead I am here to let you know that I have done some sincere thinking since being on the sidelines. I want to flat out tell everybody in this company that I haven't been the best mother. I can still learn a lot more. On top of that I could definitely be a much better wife. I am thankful for the way Seleana has been in my life. She is my rock and I know quite often there are times where I don't replicate what she offers me. This crowd deserves better, she deserves better and she will get that. This isn't some phony bullshit where I am standing here as some materialistic Hollywood actress looking to put on a façade. This is Christina Hilton. The woman behind the mask, the bullshit giving you sincerity, and I love my wife. I love my Aurora, I love my Alexandra, my Brittany, and certainly my Brayden. I love my little Isabella who will be wishing to see the best out of her grandmother. I love my daughter in laws in Halo and Sofia. I love all of you fans who pay to see me wrestle to do my best or even get my ass kicked.
Crystal takes a deep breath as she continues to speak.
Crystal: Anyway if Chloe Benton can hear me. I actually have something I need to say. There are people I offended and I need to say something face to face to them. Chloe you are the main person I wish to speak too. Having a concussion is no joke and what Bella put me through I can relate. So next week on the anniversary show I want to apologize to your face. It's time I own up for the bullshit that I did and you are the first person I wish to answer too. Hopefully you can respond because I want to let bygones be bygones and I want us to move beyond what we did. Anyway I shared my heart. I love you California. You will be my second home right after Detroit. Take care and remember that this rose will always find a way to...
Before she can even do anything that is when the loud sounds of Fear The Reaper by Pierce the Veil begins to blast across the speakers. Crystal seems a bit confused and it's at that moment that a figure enters the ring. It's a male one that the SCW audience may not remember. It's Doctor Jimmy Warren... husband to.... All of a sudden a blonde female enters the ring and beats the hell out of Crystal. She begins to stomp her out before delivering a brainbuster that drops Crystal right on her head. The concussed Crystal finds herself at the end of boots being planted against her head by the returning Nurse Cindy. The blonde grins as she jumps to the top of the ropes and delivers a five star frog splash across Crystal.
The crowd is all boos as Jimmy yanks the unconscious Crystal up and together they walk down the aisle. They walk all the way to the parking lot area and put her into the trunk of a car. He hits the trunk as the car takes off. All of a sudden Pussy Willow walks over to the two.
Pussy: Jimmy Warren... We see you are here with...
Cindy: That's DOCTOR Warren to you, and it has been a long time since I have been in SCW. I know there are a lot of questions that need to be answered why did we do what we did tonight. Why did I take out Crystal Zdunich. Why did I drop her on her head! You see...
Jimmy: She suffers from insanity and she's a case of doing the same old and expecting a different result. Perhaps only a doctor can help.
Cindy: There will be plenty of shock therapy, she is going to get a complete mental makeover whether she wants it or not. Time will tell anyway that's all we can give you for now. Good day, and remember a nurse and a doctor can take care of anything.
With that the couple walks away as Cindy cracks a wicked grin.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco arriving at the arena, the veteran bombshell in walking with a purpose and has an enraged look on her face.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Jessie, do you have a moment?
Jessie looks up and sees long time SCW Interviewer/Roulette Wheel spinner/her good friend Ms. Rocky Mountains walking up to her.
Jessie: I think I can guess what this is about!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well, if your guessing Melissa's attack on Harper from last week's show, then you need to play the lottery more often.
Jessie shakes her head as she turns to Rocky,
Jessie: Hardly! You don't need to be psychic to know that that's been a hot topic of discussion since last week's show! Let me start with the thing that I'm sure everyone's dying to know, Harper was discharged from hospital on Tuesday night and after a couple of days rest at Keira's insistence, she returned to Hero Academy ready to pick up where she left off! Harper elected not to come with me tonight because she knew that there was no way she'd be able to contain her rage around Melissa.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: And since Harper's not a contracted talent.......
Jessie: Her punishment would've made Cassie's indefinite ban from SCW events look like a slap on the wrist! Harper is back home at Las Vegas watching the show tonight and whilst I'm not in action tonight, you can safely assume that she'll have her favourite sweet popcorn brand out for Melissa vs. Masque.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Speaking off Melissa vs. Masque, you obviously have a stake in wanting to see Melissa fail to beat Masque but will you get involved?
Jessie shakes her head as she goes to walk off.
Jessie: If I said too much then Melissa would be ready for me!
Jessie walks off as the scene fades.
Simone: Last week we saw Melissa sink to a whole new low in her feud with Jessie Salco where she attacked Jessie's cousin Harper who was not a contracted talent and in fact was Jessie's guest last week but even more shocking was the fact that Jessie insisted that Melissa not get suspended for it! Now it's unknown if our next match was booked in response to that attack but coming up next Melissa is getting a non-title match against the World Bombshell Champion Masque!
Adams: Masque is coming off a successful defence against Krystal Wolfe two weeks ago and it is known that she will defend the title against Amber Ryan at Inception VI so we can guarantee that two Bombshells will be watching this match intently, Jessie Salco and Amber Ryan!
Simone: This will be an intense contest for sure, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is a non-title match, scheduled for one fall!
Love you to Death from Type O Negative: We hear a violin and a piano playing softly in the background before the dark voice of Peter Steele can be heard softly singing until he utters the Beast is Going to get ya yeah.... This causes flames to shoot out from the entrance ramp as Melissa walks out to the arena accompanied by her man Goth.
Justin: Coming down the ring accompanied by the Hall of Fame Legend Goth!! Standing in at 5'9 and weighing in at 130 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Lady Goth!! Melissa!!!!
The two walk to the ring, totally ignoring the crowd until they reach the middle of the ramp way. Melissa extends her arms as we Peter Steele sing Your wish is my command, causing Goth to take off her robe that she is wearing as that reveals her in ring wrestling gear. She walks towards the ring, slides underneath the bottom rope and stares at the crowd for a moment before turning her gaze towards Goth as we hear the chorus softly start to swing Let me Love you .... To death... as the two blow a romantic kiss towards each other. Melissa then stands up and walks over towards her corner to await her opponent.
Simone: Melissa has had an impressive career since she emerged on the scene but this is going to be the toughest match yet!
Adams: That goes for anyone who's ever faced Masque since she arrived in SCW really!
Justin: And her opponent!
The arena is plunged into darkness. A single spotlight illuminates the entranceway, as the choral refrain asks, "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" Stepping into the brightness, Masque drops to her knees and with a head tipped upwards, stares into the rafters - arms held outwards. After a few seconds she brings her gloved palms together in an apparent moment of prayer.
Justin: From Parts Unknown, standing 6ft and weighing in at 129ibs, she is the World Bombshell Champion MASQUE!
Climbing back to her feet, Masque interlocks her fingers and makes her languid way down the ramp, hands pressed together against her chest. Periodically, she stops in front of a gesticulating, whooping member of the audience and offers them her hand. Some shrink back, others grasp it with theirs. All quieten as she turns her eyes on them.
Simone: Has there been a more dominant force in SCW than Masque?
Adams: If there is I can't think of many names, except maybe Amber Ryan!
Pausing at the ring steps, she drops to one knee and touches a hand from her heart onto the metalwork, running fingers against scuffed steel. Once she climbs onto the apron Masque raises a long leg up, hovers it just above the top rope and rolls through; using momentum to spin her entire body over and inside in a single fluid twirl. She lands sitting on the mat, hands clasped together again and looking up at the lights, however Melissa doesn't even let her finish her pose instead clobbering the champion from behind with a running forearm out of the corner and promoting Drew to call for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Melissa is taking the fight right to Masque! She didn't even wait for the music to stop or for Masque to give her title to Drew!
Adams: That's gotta be Goth's advice at work, he'd know that the best way to combat an opponent like Masque was too take the fight too her!
Once the bell rings Drew makes sure to slide the World Bombshell Title out of the ring and to a waiting stagehand who quickly passes it to the timekeeper for safe keeping whilst Melissa pounds away at Masque! Once the element of surprise wears off Masque starts to block Melissa's strikes and returns the favour with some blows off her own backing the former Bombshell Roulette Champion up to the corner! Unfortunately for Masque Melissa starts to fight back and a brawl ensues.
Simone: Melissa got the initial upper hand but now Masque is fighting back and they are fighting on even terms!
Adams: Something I'm sure that their respective rivals are loving!
Masque goes for an open-handed palm strike to Melissa's mid-riff but Melissa catches the strike and reverses it into a Cross Arm-Breaker! Drew quickly gets into position to ask the champ if she wants to submit but Masque is adamant that she isn't about to tap out and manages to link her hands together before reversing the Cross-Arm Breaker into a makeshift roll-up for the first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Melissa kicks out letting go of her submission hold in the process! Masque rolls to her feet clearly favouring the arm that was in Melissa's submission hold but Melissa doesn't let up as she pulls Masque in for an Eat Defeat! Masque drops down hard and Melissa quickly goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Masque kicks out at two.
Simone: Say what you will about Melissa and her actions last week but she is definitely taking the fight to Masque!
Adams: Melissa is one of the few Bombshells who comes close to Masque's height, she can literally go face to masked face with her!
Melissa shakes her head at the failed pin attempt but upon seeing Masque still favour the arm she targeted earlier Melissa gets an idea before grabbing Masque's arm in a Hammerlock! Masque tries to reverse the hold with an elbow from her prosthetic arm to Melissa's face but Melissa ducks it and uses the momentum to hit Masque with a Hammerlock Bodyslam sending the champion reeling! Melissa doesn't go for the pin though as she grabs Masque's bad arm and locks in a Fujiwara Armbar!
Simone: Melissa's keeping the pressure on Masque's arm, we might see a submission at this rate!
Adams: What an upset that would ne!
Drew again checks on Masque but the champ is clearly not interested in giving up the fight to the former kickboxer initially trying to reverse it into a pinning predicament like she did earlier in the match but Melissa keeps the hold locked in after the roll-through and even worse (for Masque) is that she rolled away from the ring ropes! Masque then resorts to unconventional (and illegal) tactics as she uses her prosthetic arm to grab a handful of Melissa's hair!
Simone: That's one way to break a hold!
Adams: Yeah! Masque should know that Goth's the only one who can pull Melissa's hair!
Simone: KEEP IT CLEAN JASON!
Whilst Drew does give Masque a stern warning for the hair pulling it does have the desired effect as Melissa is forced to let go of the submission hold and Masque drags the rookie sensation to her feet with her hair! But the hold is broken with more than a little help from Melissa as she arms a stiff kick to Masque's mid-section forcing her to let go of Melissa's hair and causing Masque to double over, seeing the opportunity Melissa drops Masque with a Double Arm DDT and immediately goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Masque reverses it into her own pinning combo!
ONE!
TWO!
And Melissa reverses that into her own pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Masque kicks out just before three!
Simone: One second more and we would've had one heck of an upset win!
Adams: And Melissa's stock in SCW would've gone through the roof at Masque's expense!
Melissa takes the time to argue with Drew clearly believing that she had the match won but Drew affirms that his pin was fair! Behind Melissa's back Masque gets up to her feet and calls for the Rapture but Melissa sees it and kicks away Masque's hand! Masque then goes for the Terrorfex kick but Melissa ducks it and instead Drew takes the full brunt of the kick from Masque causing the ref to drop like a sack of potatoes!
Simone: Oh, oh, Drew's in la, la land and Melissa and Masque have no ref!
Adams: We all remember how Masque's first match against Mercedes went, don't we?
Masque takes a moment to look over the unconscious form of Drew but that's all she gets before she turns around into the Shade of Black!
Simone: SHADE OF BLACK! Melissa just dropped the World Bombshell Champion!
Adams: But there's no ref!
Melissa goes for the pin but quickly realizes that Drew is out cold, she goes to wake him up not realizing that a third Bombshell just entered the ring with a chair having coming through the crowd!
Simone: IT'S JESSIE!
Adams: Melissa, you might want to turn around!
Melissa doesn't get a chance to as the clearly enraged Jessie wastes no time in whacking Melissa across the back with the chair! Jessie then drops the chair as Melissa turns around to face her rival!
Jessie: I told you to keep looking over your shoulder bitch!
JESSIE HITS THE CIRCLE PIT ONTO THE CHAIR KNOCKING OUT MELISSA AND BUSTING HER OPEN! Right as this happens Masque sits up and looks at Jessie.
Jessie: She's all yours!
Jessie retreats from the ring with chair in hand before heading back into the crowd, upon seeing Jessie's handiwork Masque wastes little time in locking in The Rapture on Melissa right as Drew comes too!
Simone: THE RAPTURE! MASQUE HAS IT LOCKED IN!
Adams: And after Jessie's attack? Melissa's in no position to fight back! Stick a fork in her, she's done!
Drew doesn't even need to get into position as he can see Melissa tapping out immediately and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, THE WORLD BOMBSHELL CHAMPION MASQUE!
Simone: Masque gets a big win over Melissa and Jessie gets revenge on Melissa in the process!
Adams: There will be hell to pay next week!
Once Masque kets go off her hold she celebrates her win with the title as Goth checks on Melissa.
The camera returns to the stage area.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome back to the stage – Ms. Amanda Hugginkiss!
The wrestling fans applaud and cheer as Amanda throws the curtains open and steps out onto the stage, clad in a female biker outfit, black leather jacket, top and matching skirt and boots, but complete with a Mrs Clause hat on top of her head. Music with a strong beat begins playing over the speakers and the performance begins!
Amanda: Wreck the malls this Christmas season

The song ends and the crowd responds with polite applause and cheers. Amanda takes a bow and disappears behind the curtains.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Ariana Angelos sitting on a steel folding looking at her Roulette Title with a blank expression on her face.
Ariana: I gave that match against Amber everything I had last week, the only reason I'm still champ in because it was non-title,
Ariana sighs as she stands up from her chair and looks at the camera.
Ariana: Stagnant or insane, those are three words that have been replaying in my head since my last Twitter conversation with Amber! I left SCU because I felt my career there had stagnated long before they announced it's closure but at least as a member of the Bombshell Roster I've been able to thrive! I've faced new challenges, I've finally won my first ever singles title after years of trying, years of people calling me Carter's shadow!
Ariana sighs as the Greek American Bombshell brushes some hair over shoulder.
Ariana: I love Carter, he's my bestie and right now he's going through stuff that no one, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, should have to go through, but I can't deny that it seems that I've finally steeped out of his shadow with my Roulette Title reign.
Ariana sighs as she rests her title over her shoulder.
Ariana: Speaking off, there's only one show left in the year and I don't even know who my challenger at Inception VI yet, heck, I don't even know if I'm going to be in action at next week's Winter Wonderslam event or if my title will be on the line or not, if it is? Then I welcome whoever the challenger is but I intend to make it to the new year as champion! If not? Then I'll be looking to gain some momentum heading into Inception VI!
Ariana lets out a deep breath.
Ariana: I can't be stagnant already, I just got here! Maybe I have been spinning my wheels waiting for my next challenger to be announced but at the end of the day? I still have a job to do as Bombshell Roulette Champion, the bosses say jump, I answer "how high", it's like I said two weeks ago, it could be one challenger, two, three, four, heck, even five challengers vying for my title, I'll take them all on!
Ariana sighs.
Ariana: IF I get to inception VI that is!
Ariana says before she holds her title high.
Ariana: But right now? The only guarantee is that this title will be on the line at Inception VI, and if I do make it to the new year as champion then whoever my first challenger of the year is will soon bask in the glow of the Greek Angel's light!
Ariana walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is our Main Event match. Scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW World Heavyweight Championship!!!!
The lights in the arena go down and the sounds of organs fill the arena. After few moments, the first guitar rifts of Deep Purple's "Bad Attitude" fill the arena and the house lights come up and "Godly" Ken Davison stands at the top of the entrance ramp with his arms extended. The arena fills with boos, but Davison soaks them in as though they were the adulation of the masses and he was a returning war hero.
Davison marches down to thing right with a sense of self righteous pomposity. He ignores the crowd, taking the most direct path to the ring steps, pausing to wipe his boots before getting in the ring. He stands in the center of the ring with his arms extended as the music cuts out.
Justin: Standing in at 5'10 and weighing in at 219 pounds!! Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland!! He is the challenger!! "Godly" Ken Davison!!!
The lights dim down and cast the arena in a red glow, and for a moment -- only a moment -- the crowd quiets down just a smidge. The drum riff opening that carries into an aggressive rhythm of guitar chords breaks out as "Black Lungs" by Architects blares out over the P.A. System. This brings the crowd to their feet -- both in a positive and negative reaction, completely mixed as lyrics hit the sound system
The spotlight doesn't fall upon the stage, instead flowing across the crowd as the lyrics describe more than just a time in the world. Finn Whelan appears not from the curtain, but from one of the visitor entrances with a semi-cocky swagger written into his denim jeans. He stops at the top of the steps for a moment, a slight smirk on his face as he glances down at the people around him, blockaded off by the typical burly security guards. The crowd is not booing, but they're not exactly cheering either. He sets his eyes upon the ring below, and then makes his way down slowly, ignoring the people around him though a few of them clap him on the shoulders as he descends while we hear the lyrics once more.
At the barrier, he slings himself over and slides immediately underneath the bottom rope and leaps to his feet in the center of the ring. He heads directly for the ropes in front of him, and hops up onto the bottom one, bouncing slightly as he looks back at the crowd, choosing a few choice words to share with them. e drops down from it, and pulls of his vest as he heads to his place against the turnbuckle, leaning into it and looking upwards at the stage (or conversely, at his opponent) past his brow as his music fades out.
Justin: And his opponent!! Standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 201 pounds!! Hailing from Seattle, Washington!!! He is the SCW Heavyweight Champion of the world!! "The Virulence" Finn Whelan!!!!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as both men stand in their own neutral corner while staring each other down, Ken Davison turns his head left to right before walking out of his corner and gets into the face of Finn Whelan. The world champion starts jaw yapping towards the former champion, Finn Whelan never one to let his intent known tohis opponent before giving Ken Davison an open hand slap across the face. This causes the crowd to get into an oh chant as they watch Ken's face turned sideways as he rubs his hand across the spot that he got slapped against by Finn Whelan. Ken Davison smiles, nods his head before returning the favor by hitting a knife edge chop to the chest of Finn Whelan, causing him to stagger backwards before Ken grabs him by the harm and sets the champion up for an Irish Whip. Only to stop Finn Whelan in his track when he lifts his knee into the midsection while having him forced to run full speed into it due to the Irish Whip setup. Ken immediately grabs Finn Whelan by the head for a DDT, only to have Finn to manage and slip out of his grip as he rolls out of the ring and holds on to his midsection while coughing out loud. Ken rolls out of the ring and grabs the head of Finn Whelan, setting him up to send him face first into the steel ring post but Finn manages to reverse it and sends Ken Davison shoulder first into the steel ring steps as Jasmine St. John is already at the count of four as she is using the ten count on both men.
Simone; Both men want to get the upper hand early, both have taken risks to get there and have to pay for it.We see Ken's painful expression upon his face as Whelan grabs him by the painful arm and pushes him underneath the bottom rope to break the six count that Jasmine had reached before jumping on the ring apron. There he watches Ken Davison slowly getting to his hands and knees, seizing him up as he waits for him to get to his feet as Finn jumps the top rope when Ken finally managed to get to his feet and turns around. Walking into a Hurricanrana as Finn jumps off and sets Ken up for the move. But the challenger had come prepared, locking his arms around the waist from the champion and lifts him up instead of having the champion drop the challenger on his head.
Adams: Uh oh..., Ken had that one spotted!!!
Ken uses all of his might and lifts Finn up on his feet before dropping Finn Whelan down with a modified Powerbomb. Finn's body bounces off the canvas as Ken covers him as he hooks the right leg from the champion.
ONE!
TWO!
Finn manages to kick out at the count of two as Ken immediately grabs Finn by the head as he has gotten to his hands and his knees, locking Finn Whelan in a front face lock while driving three knee strikes to the top of Finn's head before getting to his feet himself and sets Finn up for a Suplex, but Finn manages to free his head from the grip of the challenger and drops Ken Davison down on the canvas before going for a Chicken Wing submission hold. Ken extends his arm towards the bottom rope in an attempt to grab it and break the submission hold that Finn had on him and succeeds as he is too close towards the ropes.
Simone: That's a bad break for the champion!!
Jasmine demands Finn to let go off the hold as he ultimately does, backing off from the challenger as Jasmine gets in between, checking up on Ken Davison but quickly gestures to the match to continue. Finn Whelan charges towards Ken Davison with an attempt to hit him with a running knee to the side of the face. But Ken moves out of the way, catches the knee before driving an elbow into the muscle region just above the knee. Causing Finn Whelan to scream out in agonizing pain as Ken Davison rolls him over on his stomach and locks him in a single Leg Boston Crab with the painful leg tightly grip while sitting deep on the lower back region of the champion. Jasmine drops on her hands and knees, checking in on the champion on whether he wants to continue the fight or wishes to give in.
Adams: Finn is in a tough position, I know he does not wish to give in and submit to a painful hold like this. But he also needs to understand that his health is on the line!!!
Finn is screaming in agonizing pain while reaching towards the bottom rope, but Ken has him locked into the middle of the ring. Finn grips his face with both hands as he positions himself on his forearms in an attempt to push his upper body off the canvas in the hope of at least trying to relief the pain as much as possible. Ken moves his position in a way that he can keep the painful leg locked into the same position with one arm while driving his fists just inches above the knee cap in an attempt to increase the pain that Finn Whelan must be feeling before standing up again. Quickly changes the hold into a Sharp Shooter as he sits down even deeper in comparison to the single Leg Boston. This causes Finn to scream out even louder in agonizing pain.
Simone: I know Finn is a proud man, but this is perhaps too much for even him to bare!!!
Finn places his hands on the canvas, pushing his upper body off the canvas, attempting to crawl towards the ring ropes in an attempt to force a rope break. He slowly manages to crawl towards the ropes as sweat can be seen pouring from his face as he is inches away from grabbing the bottom rope. Only to have Ken Davison to get up and drags him back to the middle of the ring before driving the painful knee down hard on the canvas as he had lifted up high in the air beforehand.
Simone: Good grief!!! I hope he didn't broke his knee cap!!!
We see Finn Whelan roll around the ring, holding onto his painful knee as tears are flowing from his face. Ken immediately snatches the leg out of the hands of Finn Whelan before dropping series of elbows on the painful ligament before locking it in a single leg grapevine on the canvas as Finn tries to reach over for Ken's head to somehow break the grip that he had on the champion's leg. But Jasmine pushes his hand away, warning him that she would disqualify him if he would do something illegal. This causes Ken Davison to get up and releasing the hold before kicking against the back of the painful leg.
Adams: I think that Ken realized that Finn could have gone for a disqualification to retain his title if he had wanted to, making sure that it would not get that far.
Ken kicks the painful leg a few more times before setting him up for a Figure Four Leglock, but gets kicked into the backside by Finn's good leg at the moment that he had turned around. Sending him into the turnbuckles as Ken manages to stop in his tracks before turning around and charges in on Finn Whelan with a running clothesline.
Simone: Good God!!!
Adams: Oh My God!!!!
Finn just jumps up with his good leg and hits Ken Davison with his painful leg and drops the challenger. But he himself falls down hard and immediately grabs for his painful leg as he is unable to follow up his desperation attempt because of the immense pain he must be feeling.
Adams: I just think that Finn just performed his final offensive move in this match, no way he can follow this up!!!
Ken can be seen shaking off the cobwebs as he slowly gets up to his feet as Jasmine has reached the count of six before stopping her attempt for the ten count. Ken signals that he has enough, grabs the painful leg and locks it in a standing ankle lock before following it up by locking the painful leg in a leg scissors combination as this forces Finn Whelan to scream out in agonizing pain.
Simone: Just give up Finn!!!
Adams: He is refusing to submit!!!!
Finn is screaming out no every single time that Jasmine asks him if he wishes to give in, until we see him slowly pass out because of the pain that he must be feeling to his painful leg. Causing Jasmine to signal for the bell to be rang as Ken Davison has regained he world title by submission on Finn Whelan.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match by submission as FinnWhelan has passed out!! And NEW SIN CITY WRESTING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! "Godly" Ken Davison!!!!
Ken let's go off the ankle lock leg scissor combination as Jasmine raises his arm in victory before handing him the world title that he had lost to Finn Whelan not so long ago.
Simone: Ken Davison had told Finn Whelan that he would get his title back and he sure as hell did!!!!
Adams: He just totally crushed Finn Whelan in a deserving win!!! I hope we can get some medical help for Finn Whelan real quick!!!!
Ken slides out of the ring as he is heading to the back, where we see the others of the Saviors stand on the ring apron applauding the victory of the now two-time World Champion Ken Davison before walking off to the back as a unit.
Simone: I can't believe what we've just seen! We have a new World Champion going in to our last show of the year! That's all we have time for, for Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!
The scene fades to The Saviors celebrating.
Thank you! to everyone who wrote for this show!
