CLICK HERE FOR THE PRE SHOW!

The camera picks up on the opening shot of the Orleans Arena right here in Las Vegas, Nevada! The crowd is on its feet, cheering and waving signs for their favorite Superstars and Bombshells...!

"Welcome Back J2H!"

"Bring Home the Gold Keira!"

"Hall of Fame 2020"

"Marry Me Brother David!"

"2020 Awards - I Demand A Recount!"

"Alicia Lukas = Wrestler of the Millennium"

"Ben Jordan vs Alex Jones Is Match of the Century!"

The lights are already up as spotlights flash across the crowd. We see signs for various SCW, SCU, and GRIME stars being waved around by the crowd. However, we don't pan around as much, as we're being held captive inside of the ring by the Church of the Good Shepherds members, Sister Virginia Mae Putnam, Brother Andrew Borg, Brother David, Mother Mavis, and none other than Father Gerald Shepherd. He has a microphone, and his arms are crossed over his chest. His foot is still tapping impatiently as he glares over to Justin Decent, warning him not to dare interrupt. Justin holds his hands up in surrender, and Gerald returns his glare back to the cameras as he steps back to the center of the ring between Brother David and Andrew Borg.

Gerald: Hello all, and welcome to High Stakes X! It is a glorious night, is it not?

Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!

Gerald sighs and nods his head.

Gerald: Now, I know it was disappointing to see Sister Virginia and Mother Mavis falter earlier tonight in the 8 Person Tag Team bragging rights series...

Crowd: YOU GUYS SUCK! YOU GUYS SUCK! YOU GUYS SUCK!

Gerald: The Lord offers his forgiveness to them on this Sunday... His day. For we are humans, and we do make mistakes. Falling victim to poor teammates, and abominable opponents who will stoop to new lows to secure a win, it was bound to happen. But, when representing the Church of the Good Shepherds, you are held to a higher standard. I expect you two down on your knees, repenting... NOW!

Gerald shouts out as he swings around to face them. They look at him, begging, but he shows no sign of mercy, so they kneel down, clasping their hands together as they close their eyes, heads raised up to the ceiling. Gerald turns back slowly to face the camera.

Gerald: Tonight is the night of championships. As your SCU Underground Champion, I am responsible for defending against Dax Beckett, one of the heathens from the collective known as Over the Edge. And, as a feeble attempt at punishment, Andrew Borg gets to challenge Eyesnsane for the SCU Combat Championship. Yes, Lexa, we've learned our lesson...

Gerald rolls his eyes and then he and Andrew share a laugh. David remains stoic and angry looking as he glares out into the audience.

Gerald: Dax Becket says that he's hungry for this opportunity, and I believe him. He is just another envious sinner. However, once he falls to the hands of the Lord, I am inclined to show him mercy. I will pass along The Good Book to him, and hope that the Word sinks in for him and his sodomite ways. And that is a true kindness, considering he all but called me a bore in the ring. Just because I don't do flips and fancy kicks don't mean I'm boring. But, the weak ones have to rely on all that stuff to stand a chance against those filled with the true strength of the Lord.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOO!!!

Gerald stops and looks out at the audience. He holds up the SCU Underground Championship and points to it with the hand with the microphone. He leans up into it.

Gerald: See this? This is all the proof you need! On the Lord's Day, I proclaim, this gives me the right to tell you to shut your heathenous mouths and listen closely! What we have to say could save you from eternal damnation! It's no wonder this state is under so much scrutiny for voter fraud! Blue my ass!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gerald stops, disdain on his face. He brings the belt down to his shoulder as he stomps around the ring angrily. However, the crowd wins as Gerald hands the microphone over to Andrew Borg. The crowd laughs.

Andrew: Don't let your dreams stay dreams. Tonight, I take on Eyesnsane, and contrary to popular belief, I do believe he...

Crowd: HE CAN DO IT!!!

Andrew: YES HE CAN! It won't be easy, but nothing that is easy is ever worth achieving. Charged with the power of the Lord, I'm juiced up like a meth junkie who begged from a big winner on The Strip! No matter how much Eyesnsane knocks me down, and he will. Yes he can! But each time, I will get up and I will knock him down. But then, he will get up. Yes he can! But, in the end, it will be me standing victorious over Eyesnsane, claiming what has always belonged to me, oh yes I can... And I will.

Andrew pauses and looks out into the crowd as they heckle him.

Andrew: And once I am the SCU Combat Champion, I will be someone that you can look up to. Because I believe each and every one of us has the same potential inside of us, thanks to The Lord. I want to show everyone what they can be, because I believe you can be like me. Yes you can!

Crowd: YES YOU CAN! YES YOU CAN! YES YOU CAN!

Andrew raises his arm up, continuing to chant with the crowd. He then hulks up and roars before throwing air punches and kicks. He then lands in an overly aggressive pose and the crowd gives him a mixture of boos and laughs. He then gives Brother David a motivating shove. David shoves him back, and Andrew shoves him again. Both men are hyped up now. David takes the microphone and then he takes the center of the ring, despite Gerald attempting to quiet him down.

David: I WILL NOT BE SILENCED, FOR HE, THE LORD, GIVES ME A VOICE! ... HE GIVES ME STRENGTH! ... HE GIVES ME THE CHOICE TO CHOOSE HIS LIGHTED PATH! ...

David stops and begins breathing heavily through his nostrils. He saunters over to the ropes now and leans down, looking directly into the camera.

David: Tonight, you will all see it. Brother David Shepherd will be victorious in his SCW singles debut over O'Malley, because I have His blessing in my corner. All O'Malley has is a screaming wench who catches people by surprise to steal championships, and a whole, whole lot of demons.

David's breaths slow down, but his intensity stays at 100. He slowly steps back a few paces and looks around at the audience. He then returns his glare to the camera.

David: I've said all I care to say to O'Malley with my mouth. Next, he gets the Hands of God, or via Hands of Justice. Once I have put him down, I will set my sights elsewhere, because I had to update my contract with SCW to get my hands on O'Malley. And trust me, I'm already seeking out my next example.

David starts to say something else, but Gerald comes up to try to silence him. However, David pushes past his father and continues.

David: I am filled with His energy, and I will spread His Word! And His Word is also one of love, and isn't always dark and foreboding. And that is why we have met so many fans over the weekend. I was fortunate enough to get a very special picture with a fan, that I thought I should share as a parting note.

David points over to the screen as there are a few pictures of David, Gerald, Andrew, Mavis, and Ginny with various different fans in a slideshow. However, there is one final picture that many fans don't get right away, but it is sure to stir O'Malley to his core. Brother David is knelt down, away from the fanfare, and looking to be in a residential home. It is him and a young boy with dark hair and familiar eyes.

David: I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Owen. I can't seem to figure out why you would abandon him like that, O'Malley. But it was probably best for him, because now he can reach his full potential. I'll see you later tonight, heathen.

And with that, "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum plays over the speakers. Gerald glares at David and "assists" him out of the ring. Andrew continues to hype up the crowd, while Mavis and Ginny get up off their knees. The group takes their leave.




The camera shot changes to the broadcast booth where Jason Adams and Belinda Simone stare, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Simone: I can not believe that those -- those -- Bible Thumpers -- just hijacked the opening of our biggest show of the year!

Adams: Seriously! It's Sunday! Who wants to hear a bunch of preaching on a Sunday!?

Belinda just turns her head and stares at Jason who cracks a goofy grin.

Justin: ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the tenth annual HIGH STAKES X! THE Supercard of 2020!

The crowd cheers!

Justin: Now please welcome to the stage -- SCW's "Hostess With the Mostess" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!!

The crowd cheers and applauds as Amanda walks out onto the stage, dressed in a colorful 60's hippies outfit; a multicolored short dress with long sleeves with matching headband and neon yellow, high heel boots. The melody of the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" begins to chime across the sound system and Amanda's opening performance begins...!

Amanda: Well I'm a guy, naturally
But that might be hard to see...
I'm not restricted by society.
People say, "my oh my,
What the hell's wrong with that guy?"
But I just turn to them, and I say...

I'm a drag queen!
Just accept it please, cause I...
Wear heels, and lipstick made by
Maybelline

You once thought of me
As a normal guy in jeans.
Now you see how 'pretty' I can be.
Oh, it takes hours to prepare,
'Till I finally look like Cher,
But I hear that she takes more time than me....

I'm a drag queen!
Don't ask what it means, I'm just-
Really secure wi-th my...
Femin-ality.

I'm a drag queen!
Head to toe in gleam, all the...
Kids lo-ve it at the grade school-
Where I teach.
Just a drag queen!

Everywhere I'm seen..wearing..
High heels, blue lipstick and some-
Red Maybelline.
I'm a drag queen!
Just accept it please, cause I...
Look better in a size 9, than you could dream...

The sing ends and the SCW Universe shows its appreciation for Amanda with cheers and applause as she prances about the stage, blowing kisses and curtsying before disappearing backstage, behind the curtains.

Adams: Now THAT'S more like it! THAT is how to open High Stakes X!

Simone: And we are right here at the Orleans Arena for the final Supercard of 2020! The biggest show of the year! The Grand prix of Professional Wrestling - High Stakes X! I am Belinda Simone!

Adams: And I'm Jason Adams!

Simone: Got it on the first try!

Adams: Hey it's High Stakes X! I've been practicing!

Simone: That's my boy. And there is a reason why THIS is the highlight of 2020! We have a grand total of TWENTY ONE matches today! Including four championship matches from Sin City Underground!

Adams: Not to mention the 2020 Hall of Fame and the 2020 Year End Awards!

Simone: And as is tradition, we kick the night off with championship gold on the line! Mac bane earned the right to challenge for the roulette title and tonight he attempts to take the gold from two-time champion, Kedron Williams!

Adams: Then it's a Triple Threat match where Agostino Romano, Stephen Callaway and Miles 'Milo' Kasey all face each other and the first to get the pin or submission wins!

Simone: Jessie Salco is angry at the loss of her Roulette title and also that tonight's title match was not altered to fit her in...

Adams: Despite Mark and Christian saying weeks ago that would be the case.

Simone: But tonight Jessie faces Violet Amelia Holt one on one!

Adams: Then in the first SCU title match, the Underground Champion Dahlia Rotten defends against one-half of the Pride Tag Team Champions, Ariana Angelos!

Simone: Then it's a case of rookie versus veteran when the 2018 Blast From the Past Champion Courtney Pierce takes on multi-time champion Samantha Marlowe!

Adams: Caleb Storms issued an open challenge two weeks ago at Climax Control, and it was newcomer Tommy McMaster who answered it! They face each other tonight!

Simone: We have a Last Man Standing match for the SCU Combat Championship! Reigning champion Eyesnsane defends against Andrew Borg!

Adams: The Barnharts laid waste to Black Sheep three weeks ago and that resulted in tonight's title defense! Mikah and Kris defend the World Mixed Tag titles against Bea and "Bulldog" Bill!

Simone: Through some machinations from her manager, somehow Char Kwan has been signed tonight to challenge for the Roulette title even though she did not earn it and let's face it; doesn't deserve it! But she is challenging the now TWO-time champion, Johanna Krieger!

Adams: To say O'Malley and Brother David Shepherd have taken an immediate dislike to each other is a BIG understatement! But they came to blows two weeks ago and tonight they are in singles competition against one another!

Simone: Then we have the Dream Match! The match that may very well steal the entire show tonight when two former World Champions clash as Alex Jones goes one on one against Ben Jordan!

Adams: Candy finally gets her biggest dream! A Glitter Bomb match to settle things between her and that 'big ol' meanie head' Mercedes Vargas!

Simone: Then the SCU Underground title is on the line when the reigning champion Father Gerald Shepherd defends against Dax Beckett!

Adams: Then Myra Rivers defends the Bombshell Internet Championship against maybe her toughest defense yet, former World and Roulette Champion Seleana Zdunich!

Simone: Then it's the final SCU title match of the evening when Merlot Ayano defends the Combat Championship in an MMA Match against Michelle "Michi" DeJesus!

Adams: Things have gotten ugly between Evie Jordan and Kate Steele, and tonight they settle things between them in a Hardcore Grudge match!

Simone: And speaking of grudges, the one between Andrea Hernandez and Christina Rose has been boiling over for weeks! Christina was even suspended indefinitely for an attack on referee Drew Patton but she has been allowed to return tonight for this fight against Andrea! And it WILL be a fight! The only way for either woman to be declared the winner is to force her enemy to say those two words - 'I Quit!'

Adams: Teddy Warren-Steele gets his wish! J2H has been on the mind of Teddy Steele-Warren for close to a year. teddy has even said that HE is the next J2H, which the real deal has taken a LOT of offense to! But now the deal has been made and J2H is making a return to the ring for this match, and as an added bonus, Teddy's Internet Championship is going to be on the line!

Simone: And perhaps the biggest grudge match of the night, the 'rubber match' between perpetual rivals Roxi Johnson and Amber Ryan! Each one of these women has scored a win over the other in the past two Supercards! It is only fitting that the biggest event of the year heralds the match to bring all of this to its grand finale. And this is too big for just the ring, as it is now a Last Woman Standing match!

Adams: Then we have the DOUBLE Main Event! First up, the World Heavyweight Championship is on the line when Jack Washington defends HIS championship against former champion, Austin James Mercer!

Simone: Then we bring the show to a close with the World Bombshell Championship at stake! Keira Fisher-Johnson finally has her chance after all this time as she challenges three-time World Champion Alicia Lukas! All this and more at SCW High Stakes X!




The camera cuts to the top of the stage area where a huge banner is seen with the words SCW Hall of Fame written on it. The light's drop out and a spotlight hits the top of the ramp and "Midnight/Tornado" starts to blast out from the speakers. Hot Stuff Mark Ward appears through the curtain, dressed in a suit and tie, looking every part the boss as he walks towards a podium on the top of the stage. The fans cheer as he stands in front of the microphone, looking around at the crowd.

HS: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to High Stakes X and the Hall of Fame 2020!

The crowd in attendance cheer.

HS: It's always an absolute honour for me to stand here and induct more worthy superstars in to something that shows the pinnacle of a career. These people are the backbone of a company we have spent many years trying to build. These people are the ones who have given their blood, sweat and tears to business that wants to thank them in return. Every business has their detractors, but these are the people who have given their bodies in to building a company they are proud of and tonight, we will thank them all, by putting them where they deserve to be, the SCW Hall of Fame.

The crowd cheer politely.

HS: So ladies and gents, let's get started by introducing one of the most popular wrestlers in SCW history, a Hall of Famer himself, Despayre!

Weezer's "Mr. Blue Sky" plays across the sound system, and the SCW Universe greets Despayre with familiar cheers and heartfelt applause as the young Superstar, always with that innocent smile on his face, walks up onto the stage. Taking note of the event and not just what it is for, but whom he is there for specifically, 'Despy' took great care with his appearance, wearing a complete gray dress suit with jacket and vest over a wine colored dress shirt, gray slacks and black dress shoes. No tie - Don't even ask! "Hot Stuff" offers the young man his hand and Despayre accepts it, giving it a giddy and firm shake. Mark then places a hand on his shoulder and directs him to the stage.

Despayre takes his spot at the podium with a wide smile and he claps his hands together in an example of being unable to shield his excitement for who he is about to induct into the Hall of Fame. He bounces on the balls of his feet before turning to Mark and cupping a hand over his mouth.

Despayre: I'm here to introduce my dad!

Mark smiles and beckons with a hand.

HS: Well you go right ahead then.

Despayre however just gives Mark a confused stare.

Despayre: Go ahead and what?

HS: Introduce your dad?

Despayre side-glances the camera and audience before...

Despayre: I ... just did?

Prompting a round of laughter from the audience. Mark, of course, is all too used to Despayre's behavior and antics so he plays right along. He steps up and places a hand on his shoulder.

HS: So you did Despy, but I was hoping you could do me a favor?

Despayre: As long as it doesn't affect me negatively in any way.

HS: ... Perfect. We're running a little fast on time...

Despayre gasps and places a hand over his mouth, eyes wide.

HS: I know! So if you could say a word or two for your dad to help us out? That would be great.

Despayre nods rapidly and gives Mark the 'bang bang' salute.

Despayre: I can do that!

Mark, satisfied, steps back and allows Despayre to properly take his spot. The former three-time Tag Team and two-time Internet Champion looks out at the SCW Universe and he waves his hand.

Despayre: Hi!

Despayre is greeted in return with some cheers and greetings from the crowd. He seems nervous but swallows hard.

Despayre: My dad asked me to do this. And I told him that Gabriel should do it, or do it with me. But my dad wanted me to, and Gabriel agreed it should be me because my dad did so much more for me than just manage me as a wrestler. He saved me.

Despayre looked down innocently for a brief moment and shrugged his slim shoulders before looking back up.

Despayre: I won't say why or how, but he did. That's why this isn't just about me inducting Synn into the Hall of Fame. It's about honoring my dad, and my hero. Everyone out there watching him, they see a big man who one wrestled and then led a group of wrestlers to a bunch of championships. He started his own career in the EFWO where he was the World Television Champion, so you KNOW he was a great wrestler!

He nods knowingly.

Despayre: But to me and Gabriel and everyone else he's managed, he's not just Synn the wrestler or Synn the manager. He's my dad, and their friend. He's family. I know a lot of managers Focus just on the business side of things. They collect a paycheck, do their business work, and call it a day. But not my dad!

Despayre closes his eyes and shakes his head.

Despayre: And I and I'm not just talking about him taking care of me! Gabriel. Fantasia. Shane. Rage... Excuse me! Jake. Theresa. He's been there for all of us. He's helped us when we needed it most. Talk to us. Giving us advice. Not every manager does that. He doesn't take care of us because he's paid to or he feels he has to. He does it because he wants to. That's the man that I'm introducing tonight. That's the man who is being inducted into the Hall of Fame. My dad -- Synn!

Despayre steps back and the audience rises as "Opticon" by Orgy kicks up across the sound system, and Synn walks out onto the stage dressed in his trademark, jet-black suit and red dress shirt. He is greeted with applause from all, and as he reaches the podium, Despayre wraps his arms around him in a fierce embrace between son and father. An affection that is genuinely returned. Once released from the hug, Despayre proceeds to run around Synn in a circle, until he finally steps back beside Mark and allows his father to enjoy the moment.

Synn shakes Mark's hand before he turns and stands at the podium, his piercing green eyes staring around at the crowd on-hand.

Synn: You know, I hate the concept of fate. I always have. I never liked the idea of outside forces playing any factor in my life and what happened during it. But as I look back over my life, everything that's happened during it, the people that have entered my life..

Synn shakes his head with a mock smile.

Synn: It makes it rather difficult for a cynical man such as myself to deny such a relatively simple but complex concept like destiny. Ever since I was told that I was going to be inducted into the 2020 Hall of Fame, my most pressing concern was asking myself; do I try to act humble or simply be myself and say that it's about damn time?

Some chuckles from the crowd and Synn smirks, shaking his head.

Synn: And you know, I never really did come to a decision. If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I have to admit that I didn't see this coming. There isn't a man or woman that I have managed the career of that I didn't believe was deserving of being in the Hall of Fame, I just didn't expect the role of a manager to be given the same honor. I mean, let's face facts. The fans come to see the wrestling. They come to see the men and women inside of the ring, not focus on the people that are standing outside of the ring, encouraging their favourites or the ones they love to hate. Or in my case, blocking their views.

An obvious reference to his impressive stature of 6'8" and over two hundred and seventy pounds.

Synn: The truth is, that a manager has one simple task; take care of the career up there charge. Handle the business side of things while the wrestler does their job inside of the ring. Whether it be contract negotiations, arranging airfare or booking hotel accommodations. Personal appearances to get your charge in the public eye. Interviews. You name it, that is what a manager is supposed to do. And let's face facts, any damn fool can do that!

Laughter breaks out, and Synn nods.

Synn: But I've been lucky in not just my own wrestling career, but for everything that came after it. It's as Joshua said, I got my start in a promotion called EFWO. When I looked at the business side of things, and the very environment of this sport, I knew that it was where I was meant to be. I felt for the first time that I belonged. I thought the best way for me to spread my so-called influence was inside of the ring as a competitor. I believe I did fairly well for myself as the world Television Champion, but after a time I realized I wanted more. I wasn't satisfied with the physical encounters. I looked into the business side of the sport, and that was where I felt the most intrigued. It was where I felt I had more options to explore. So naturally, I started exploring and looking for talent that I felt in tune with. It was in a promotion called FMPW where I met a young woman who competed under the ring name Strawberry Wine, and it was in EFWO where I met Shane Boswell.

The camera pans to the audience where sits that very man, the 'Original Sin' "S

xy" Shane Boswell, and in the seat beside him, Fantasia.

Synn: I sweet talked them both as only I could, and that was my start as a manager. The very origin of the Seven Deadly Sins -- the 'original' Seven Deadly Sins, allow me to add. I had taken both Shane and Fantasia through EFWO and GXW, guiding them as best I knew. I tried my best to keep things on a professional level - at least with Fantasia. With Shane?

Synn shook his head.

Synn: Not so much luck.

Laughter, especially coming from Shane and Fantasia.

Synn: I found myself drawn to them. Bonds formed, then friendships. Genuine friendships, not something at the time that I wanted or expected, but that is a little thing called fate. Over time I lived everywhere from New York to New Orleans, but somehow Las Vegas always felt like home. Maybe it was the whole "City of Sin" thing, who knows?

He gains some applause from the Vegas crowd.

Synn: And it was here in Las Vegas where we had fate throw us another curve when a certain street magician decided to try and pick our pockets. Well, the story has been told a time or two, but that was where we had met Gabriel Stevens.

The camera pans to the audience to showcase Gabriel with his family.

Synn: And just like that, the desire was back. The desire to mold and to guide a new soul in the business. Fantasia and Shane had stepped away from in-ring competition by that time, but here was someone who we could just tell was made for the business. Gabriel had all the qualities I looked for; The looks. The charisma. The brains. All he needed was the in-ring training. If he could handle the physicality of the sport, he'd be unstoppable. Shane saw it as well, and before Gabriel even knew what was happening, he became the first person I ever trained for the ring.

But as Gabriel was being put through his training, that was when fate decided to take another turn and put me on a path I never saw coming. I received a phone call, to tell me that I had a sixteen year old son in Canada. That new path, was being a father.

Camera shot of Despayre smiling brightly from beside Mark.

Synn: That is a path I will always look back on fondly. My only regret being that I was not there from the very beginning. Even to this day, I still feel like I have so much time to catch up on. And while I brought Joshua from Canada back to the States so I could raise him while continuing with Gabriel's training, well, fate struck again. Joshua started playing inside of the ring during a session, and all of us; Gabriel, Fantasia, Shane and myself. We all saw my son had a natural spark inside of the ring. And for the first time, someone who had the makings of a Superstar...?

Synn shakes his head.

Synn: I didn't want to be in the ring for fear of his safety. But as Gabriel so wisely pointed out, given Joshua's style, I should be far more concerned for his opponents.

Everyone laughs while Despayre waves a hand toward his dad in a universal 'oh go on!' gesture.

Synn: But they won out, and I am glad for once that I was in the wrong. Because Joshua becoming one of my most successful and popular, I might add, wrestlers was not the fateful step I was referring to. No, it was what formed between Joshua and Gabriel from that day forward. A bond that defied simple definition. Two young men who went beyond simple friendship and became brothers. A son, and a man who is as good as. That is what I am most thankful for. This...

Synn holds up his award.

Synn: This means something to me because those men and women in my life, in wrestling or not, mean something to me. Rage, excuse me, Jake? Kittie? Don't think I forgot about either of you. Especially considering how you and I met, Jake.

Camera pans to Jake and Kittie in the audience, Jake holding a first get to his lips and shaking his head "no" while everyone around laughs.

Synn: From 2012 to 2016, I was Manager of the Year. Five years, unbeaten. That accomplishment means something only because of those who put their trust and faith in me. Shane. Fantasia. Gabriel. Despayre. Jake. Kittie. You brought life to the Sins, not me. To Joshua? Thank you for being my son. Margaret and Victoria? Thank you both for being there for my son when I wasn't able, and thank you for being there now. And Theresa. Thank you for just being there and putting up with me.

He holds up his award.

Synn: Thank you.

"Opticon" plays again and Despayre jumps into Synn's arms for one more hug before they exit the stage.

Hot Stuff nods towards Synn as he walks past him.

HS: Congrats Synn on being the first manager inducted in to The Hall of Fame.

Hot Stuff clears his throat

HS: Ladies and Gentlemen, next up, we have another SCW Hall of Famer to talk to you. A man you know all too well, a man you will see in the ring later tonight. Please welcome to the stage, J2H!

"Lights out." by POD blast through the speakers and J2H, dressed in an expensive looking light grey suit walks through the curtain, looking around at the crowd who respond with boos and walks directly to the podium as the music fades out.

J2H: Keep your boos to yourself until later tonight when I'm down there in that ring, because for once, this ain't about yours truly.

J2H smirks.

J2H: I never thought I'd say that, but even the smallest minds in this arena know that I'm here for a reason, and that is to speak about someone I call a friend.

He takes a deep breath.

J2H: One year ago, I was standing on this stage, hearing my name called for the SCW Hall of Fame, and I can tell you this seriously. No matter what I did in the ring, the fact that I was a legendary champion, the name associated with SCW, standing here knowing I was going in the Hall of Fame was one of the greatest feelings I've ever had. It took all the stress and made it worth it, it showed I was appreciated for the effort I put in, and now I get to speak about someone who put the effort in more than I did.

He pauses.

J2H: People think getting here is about championships, about holding the gold. It's not, people beg for championship shots, some people get lucky to win them, the Hall of Fame is not about that. It's about the hard work that goes in to everything, it's about the things you don't see, it's about the people willing to give up more than they have to keep you all entertained and nothing screams that more than the man I'm inducting today, Casey Williams.

The crowd cheer at hearing Casey's name.

J2H: Casey never had that world championship to his name, but Casey never needed it. Hell, Casey got more people over than anyone else in SCW, his love for the business meant more to him than needing the prizes that came with it, it was about giving back, it was about making sure pro wrestling had a future and because of Casey, a lot of people went on and had a career. A lot of people worked with him and everyone walked away in a better spot because Casey went out of his way to put them there. Everyone looks at achievements and picks their faves but without people like Casey, they wouldn't have those achievements. Casey's contribution to this business far outweighs what most people can claim they have done, a veteran of over one hundred matches, when others walk out there door after one title loss. Not once did he become bitter and insult SCW, not once did he complain, he did what so many others failed to do and worked like no other man on the roster.

J2H nods his head firmly.

J2H: So today I'm proud to introduce and induct the Freight Train of Pain himself in to the SCW Hall of Fame. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Casey Williams!

Trouble by Five Finger Death Punch hits the speakers as Casey Williams comes out to the podium. He pulls out some note cards and then he speaks.

Casey: Thank you J2H for the kind words. I never thought the time would come for me to be inducted into the SCW Hall of Fame, as I never really saw myself as someone who's career merited being inducted to the Hall of Fame. Yeah, I wrestled over 100 matches here in SCW and was a part of the very first show many years ago, but other than that and the 2 title reigns I had early on while I was here in SCW, what do I have to show for it? My multiple retirements and returns? I know I helped people like Simon Jones, Max Burke, and countless others raise their game up before they went on to capture gold, but nonetheless, here we are.

Casey takes a sip of water before speaking again.

Casey: I would like to take this opportunity to thank some people, starting with Goth. Back when I was just starting out my career in wrestling, Goth spotted me and got me into AWA when I wrestled as Big Bad Casey, and my favorite match there was inside a Boeing 747 against Dmitri and Bill Barnhart, who both also joined SCW later in their career, where I won, and then when I left there after some success, I went off to PrYde where I had some more success, and was a part of the final tag team champions there before they closed their doors. The next two I want to thank are "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward and Christian Underwood, both of whom brought me to SCW when they were starting SCW, as they knew me and my reputation as a talent who had won championships and how to help others elevate their games. I would also like to thank all the wrestlers I've had the pleasure of working with, both as allies and as foes, like Simon Jones, Sean Jackson, Max Burke, Ruby, J2H, James Tuscini, Bill Barnhart, Dmitri, Kain, Goth, Matthew Kennedy, Jessie Salco, Mercedes Vargas, Amy Marshall, Roxi Johnson and Keira Fisher, Drake Green, Gabriel and Odette Stevens, Despayre and Angel, Synn, Rage, Misty, Chris Shipman, Dani Westen, Ben and Evie Jordan, Black Hart Bruce Evans, may he Rest In Peace, The Surf Boys, the whole Staggs family, Jordan "PS" Williams, Aleksei Koji, Andrew Garcia, Ivan Darrell, Kingingiseisa "Hitamashii" Shirasu, and so many countless others, as each and every one of you helped me get to where I am today, a member of the SCW Hall of Fame. Lastly, I want to thank the fans, whom without you, I would not have been in this wonderful business to entertain you day in and day out.

"Trouble" hits the speakers once again as Casey walks away. Hot Stuff walks to the podium once more and looks around.

HS: Thank you Casey, welcome to the Hall of Fame. Next up...

Hot Stuff turns his head and loosk behind him.

HS: What the bloody hell...

On the stage, we see former SCU roster members, holding the Hardcore Tag Team Championships on their shoulders. None other than Tatsu Ikeda and Winter Elemental, AKA the Kawaii Dragons. The crowd stares at them in shock as they are smiling before hoisting up their title belts.

Winter: It's great to be here tonight, even though I'm not really sure why we're going through this again.

Tatsu: Bitches... Sorry, old habit. No, Winter-san, I tell you time and more time that we are not here to induct her. We will introduce her.

Winter: Why would we come out here to introduce someone to introduce someone else? It just doesn't make sense.

Tatsu puts her hand to her forehead, until she realizes Winter has a point. Tatsu looks out to the crowd and then gets a sheepish look on her face. She then leans in to whisper to Winter, who gets a disgusted look on her face.

Winter: You can't be serious? They're getting inducted? Of all people, it's "them"? I came out of retirement for this? Fuck me...

Tatsu: Uh, rude! This is 'Murica where everyone has chance at greatness. It's the way it works in 'Murica, bitches...

Winter: Whatever. Jon Dough/Matt Spears Class of 2021, bitches...

Tatsu: Bitches... Speaking of bitches...

Winter: You shut you whore mouth! Don't be talking about my momma like that! Now, without further adieu, please welcome to the stage, the best Mean Girl... Mercedes Freaking Vargas!!!

Mercedes Vargas struts out to a stage in a sky blue halter as she approaches the podium. The multi-time champion and Hall of Famer is all smiles as she points to the crowd. After taking in the scene, she briefly looks over her notes then looks out across the audience.

Mercedes: Hello, Las Vegas. First of all, I like to thank the Academy for this honor.

Light laughter fills the room as Mercedes grins.

Mercedes: I'm totally joking. When you get the nod from the Sin City Wrestling Hall of Fame, it's a look back on your career, your accomplishments, your body of work. A body of work consisting of matches and moments and opponents. And when I think about the men and women being inducted into the Hall of Fame tonight, their careers speak for themselves.

She pauses as an applause starts up from the audience and Mercedes joins in before continuing.

Mercedes: What does it mean to be a Hall of Famer? Everything. It means that you're a part of history, that you have shattered the glass ceiling that while many are called few are chosen, and it means your peers recognize the level of passion and accomplishment you brought to the ring every night. It means that now and forever, you truly are one of the legends. Two years ago on this stage, I was inducted into the Hall of Fame by someone who will take her rightful place tonight as a legend in Sin City Wrestling. You've might have seen her on the silver screen, on the cat walk, on the gridiron, or even in the six-sided ring. She is the true definition of a renaissance woman, the modern day Madonna, and she makes being a quadruple threat seem easy. Her name: Delia. Darling, if you must.

Another round of applause.

Mercedes: What can I say about Delia Darling that hasn't already been said: she's a pioneer, a visionary, a household name, arguably one of the best Bombshells to have never been inducted into the Hall of Fame. That is, until now. Delia is still talked about in dream matches even years after she stepped away from the six-sided ring. All the women wanted to be her, and the men wanted to be with her. Whether you love or hated her, you just couldn't resist her. She was the face of Mean Girls and now she will be in on our mind and our hearts forever.

Mercedes places a hand over heart.

Mercedes: Two years ago, Delia predicted that she would in the Hall of Fame. So apparently she's a fortune teller, too. As if being a Future Star of the Year, former World Bombshell Champion and World Bombshell Tag Team Champion wasn't enough.

Mercedes does a "mind blown" gesture and can be heard saying "yeah, I know" over the cheering.

Mercedes: This honor has been long overdue. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my privilege to induct my sister and BFF and I couldn't be happier for her that tonight she's here accepting this great honor. I introduce to you the second ever Mean Girl and the next inductee into the Class of 2020 Hall of Fame -- Delia Darling! Congratulations, Deelz. Love ya!

Mercedes leads the tremendous ovation as she turns to the entrance, a genuine smile on her face.

"Nightmare" by Halsey plays over the speakers as Delia Darling walks out onto the stage, wearing a classic look from her time in 2014. A white lace asymmetrical dress. She moves ever so slowly and poised until she reaches a certain distance from Mercedes and the podium. She looks to her left, and then to Mercedes. She gives her hips a couple twirls as we see the fabric sparking. She begins to spin, causing flames and smoke to take over the dress. As the smoke begins to fade with the assistance of a couple fans, we see a black sequin dress, and a tasteful black streak in her updo. The crowd gives another ovation as Delia puts out one stray flame on her shoulder with a grin from her black lips. She and Mercedes hug and kiss at the sides of each other's faces. Mercedes continues to clap as Delia says a few words more. Mercedes nudges her toward the podum and exits next to the Kawaii Dragons

Delia waves to the crowd and then steps up to the podium. She looks out into the crowd before pursing her lips. She soaks it in for a second before her eyes look to the ceiling.

Delia: S'ank you all for being here tonight. Despite my persona, I am truly humbled to be here in front of you all, accepting z'is award. I have been called many s'ings in my time in z'is sport. Z'e original French Bombshell, z'e Premiere Mean Girl, z'e original SCW WORLD Bombshell Champion, a bitch...

Delia pauses as the audience gives a gentle laugh, followed by a tender "aww" moment. The left corner of Delia's mouth curls into a devilish half smirk before chortling into the microphone.

Delia: When vous are right, vous are right, no? On all counts. Guilty as charged. And tonight, I hear I am a pioneer, a visionary, a quadruple s'reat. S'ings I had to tell myself, because if I did not believe in myself, z'en how can I expect anyone else to? Z'e more everyone wanted to believe I was nos'ing more z'an a brainless model sauntering and shimmying across z'e ring wis'out a single s'ought of actually wrestling, z'e harder I trained in z'e gym, worked out, sacrificed z'e only s'ing I had been known for before in my appearance. And I did it for myself, no doubt. But, I did it for you as well.

There is a hint of doubt from the audience, but Delia is quick to hold a hand up.

Delia: No, no... It is z'e tru's. Where were we before I signed my contract? Hm? We had talents such as Vixen, Misty, and Odette at z'e top for a long time. Z'ey deserved z'e honor, but... I came in and shook s'ings up. I was personally responsible for many signings. I brought attention to SCW. I stirred z'e pot, and I made many women rise to z'e top like z'e creme de la creme z'at z'ey were, and are. I made women re-examine z'emselves and step up to become more. Fellow Hall of Famer, Amy Marshall, for instance? Necra Octavian Kane? Veronica Taylor? And I made women like Misty and Vixen reach down deep to show what z'ey are truly made of. I say this wi's z'e utmost sincerity, and not out of arrogance. I brought z'e best out of SCW in my time here. But, SCW brought z'e best, and at times z'e worst, out of me.

Delia looks out into the crowd of some of her fellow stars and bombshells, her bosses, her friends, and by extension, her family.

Delia: As a self promoter from long before my time in SCW, I knew what to do to bring z'e audience a compelling program which brought so, so many eyes to SCW. And at a point in time, sorry boys, but... People tuned in to see z'e bombshells. Z'ey tuned in to see how long my undefeated streak would last. And at one point, my record setting longest title reign... s'ank you very much Mikah...

Delia offers up a wink to the crowd, getting light laughter in return.

Delia: And one cannot deny z'at z'e ladies headlined z'e more shows during my time z'an ever. Myself and Drake Green brought z'e top tier titles to World level status, laying z'e pa's for today's landscape in SCW. But, I do not bring z'is up to pat myself on z'e back, but to acknowledge just how difficult it is to be inducted into an elite club wi's z'e likes of Grand Slam Champions, Triple Crown Champions, multi-promotion champions, Year End Award winners, z'e likes of Spike Staggs, Misty O'Malley, Vixen Staggs, Gabriel Stevens, Amy Marshall, Sean Jackson, Drake Green, Odette Stevens, Despayre, Simon Jones, Mercedes Vargas, Lord Raab, Mikah, J2H, and Casey Williams, amongst many os'ers. Ask any of z'em, and z'ey will tell you it is not easy. One s'ing we all have in common is being a liaison to z'e rest of z'e world of wrestling. We bring attention to z'e company for z'e current generation. It is not for us, as it might appear. Z'ough, it does bring about z'e need to fulfill our own egos. We do what we do for z'e future stars and bombshells in SCW. Now, I am not one to talk about myself too much...

This one brings about more laughter than Delia expects, and she feigns being offended for a second and then winks again.

Delia: I want to s'ank some people so z'at I can shut up, okay? Gawd... First, I would like t s'ank Mark Ward for introducing me s'rough Hot Stuff International wi's Andrew Garcia, Ivan Darrell, and Max Burke. I would like to s'ank Angelica for inviting me to restart z'e Mean Girls, wi's Veronica's blessing. I would like to s'ank Veronica and Mz Holly Wood for welcoming me in. Contessa Flannigan for taking our shit for so long. Drake Green for one very active training session. Liz Smalls for giving me a platform to bring my girls to z'e next level of exposure. Mercedes Vargas for being so fucking fabulous z'at we just could not turn her down. Amanda Cortez for bringing an edge to z'e Mean Girls. Despayre, nay, Joshua, for keeping me from going total bitch mode one at least a dozen occasions. My children in A.G.I.F.T., Tatsu, Winter, and Valentina. Amy, Necra, Odette, Vixen, Misty, Veronica, Amanda, and Jessie for some of z'e most memorable matches of my career. And a special s'anks to Brooke Saxon for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to enter Honor Wrestling, which led me back to z'e Sin City Network on a part time basis. And a special s'anks to Erik Staggs for helping me to hone my skills to go from just anos'er angry bitch in z'e ring, to a skilled, technically sound angry bitch in z'e ring. S'ank you to SCW, Honor Wrestling, SCU, and GRIME for giving me a place to express myself artistically, on z'e catwalk, and inside of z'e ring. Thank you all!

Laughter and applause meet Delia as she steps away from the podium with her award. She takes a bow for the audience, accepting a rose from the front. She holds it tenderly before waving. As she reaches the curtain, she turns and blows a kiss to the crowd before disappearing behind the curtain.

Hot Stuff returns to the podium.

HS: The Hall of Fame just got a little more classy, welcome Delia.

Hot Stuff looks around with a smile on his face.

HS: At this point, I don't have to call anyone to the stage, because I get the honour of inducting our next Hall of Fame inductees in to the class of 2020.

Hot Stuff nods his head.

HS: I wasn't expecting it but I'm proud to do so. Looking back, I will never forget my first meeting with these ladies. I remember talking to Christian about wanting a bad ass group, a female group to come in to SCW and shake it up, show the world that we hired the best bad asses around. One name popped to mind and that was Raynin. Now a little known story is I have known Raynin for many, many years, more years than most of you could imagine and her name was the first to pop to mind. Raynin was a friend of mine from way back in the day where I could only dream of suits this expensive. I hadn't spoke to her in a long time, but making that call, I knew something special was about to happen, I knew I was changing the course of SCW history with one call and I wasn't wrong.

Hot Stuff smiles to himself.

HS: From day one, Raynin came in and took no prisoners, and even more so when the group grew from Raynin, to Raynin and Gothika, to Darknyss, to Diamond, to Nyla. When this group was together, they were the strongest entity SCW had, they were take no prisoner, they were tough as old boots, they were perfect for SCW. My pride grew with every championship belt they swept up. Today, I stand here thankful to have had them here and I couldn't be prouder to be the man who introduces them as the first group to enter the SCW Hall of Fame. So please, be upstanding for the amazing Raynin, Gothika, Darknyss, Diamond and Nyla Dupree, the incredible, the amazing, THE FALLEN!

The sound of a rocket flying rips through the air. On the titantron the image of five flaming balls of light streak through an image of the night sky as the strains of "Light 'Em Up" by Robin Loxley, Grayson Voltaire, and Emanuel Vo Williams plays over the PA. On the titantron, the five flaming balls rocket towards an image of the earth and the camera angle switches so it looks like they're coming straight towards the screen. They strike the same spot with a bright flash and five shadowy figures step out of the brightness.

When the brightness goes away, the Angels of The Fallen are shown on split screens for a Zoom Call. They're each in separate locations, and they all trying to talk at once.

Diamond: Hey Everybody!!! Can you hear me?

Gothika: Wow, it's been a long time since we did a group chat like this. And everybody's gonna see just how crazy we can all be over the internet.

Raynin: Hey, I resemble that remark.

Nyla: Wow... I'm just surprised that nobody's managed to put up some kind of embarrassing picture yet...

Just then, Darknyss freezes, and a picture of her as a teenager making a funny face appears on the screen. She's got her eyes crossed, and her tongue stuck out, making devil horns with her fingers. You hear her calling out off screen.

Darknyss: MJ!! You get out from under the desk right now! I told you not to touch anything!! This is important!!

Nyla chuckles and shakes her head.

Nyla: I guess I spoke too soon. At least she was clothed in this shot... Unlike that one that came of you last week Emme.

Diamond covers her face and shakes her head.

Diamond: Don't remind me!! That was so terrible!! Jeremiah plugged his phone in my laptop to charge it one day and accidentally imported some pictures. I didn't even know they were on there.

Raynin makes a face and puts her fingers in her ears.

Raynin: Ewww, you guys are just sickening!! I don't even wanna THINK about where J's phone has been where you're concerned.

Darknyss suddenly starts to buffer, and her words come out stuttered.

Darknyss: He... guys are on the new PS 5 playing... and they know what happens to the net when they play.... gonna kill 'em!!

Raynin: I guess it's a good thing it's just us on this call, or I bet Lady would be mortified.

Hot Stuff shakes his head and sighs as he's watching what's going on. He clears his throat for a moment.

HS: I'm sorry to tell you, but you're not alone on this call.

Darknyss eyes go humongous, then she laughs nervously.

Darknyss: Hey Mark!! When did you get here? We were just chatting for a bit before you connected us to the big screen for everyone to see us.

Mark chuckles for a moment, then clears his throat again.

HS: Well, to answer your question, I've been here from the beginning.

Darknyss covers her face in her hands and grumbles audibly.

Darknyss: Oh no!! Please tell me you didn't see that picture!

HS: Well, it wasn't just me who saw it, but the entire SCW universe.

Diamond frowns and does her best 'Arnold from Different Strokes' impression.

Diamond: Whatchoo talkin' about Willis?

HS: Well, you've been connected to the titantron from the minute the call connected. So not only have I seen that photo, but the entire SCW Universe has seen it.

Darknyss's jaw drops in disbelief as Raynin starts to laugh maniacally. When you catch glimpses of her eyes, they're blood red with goat slit pupils, and The Other's voice comes through with it's snakelike sibilant sound

The Other: Thissss isss PRICELESSSSSS!! I couldn't have done anything better mysssself, Mark!! Bravo!!!

She starts to clap as Mark shakes his head.

HS: Look, I don't know what's going on! We're in the middle of the Hall of Fame presentations, and you were supposed to be here to accept inductions! I've just said lots of really nice words about you all, and you're not even here to appreciate them!

Nyla raises her eyebrow suspiciously.

Nyla: Well, this puts in a right pickle doesn't it?

Darknyss frowns and shakes her head.

Darknyss: But... I got an email last night saying that due to the latest numbers, we were doing this remotely!!

The Other chuckles, trying to hide her smile behind her hand.

The Other: I guess it seems someone out there is more devious than I am.

Diamond shakes her head and puts a hand to her forehead.

Diamond: Don'tcha worry about a thing Mark. We can still get there!

Mark sighs and puts his forehead down on the podium.

HS: And just how do you expect to get here in the next 30 seconds?

Diamond winks and chuckles as she picks up a couple of her mojo bags full of crystal dust and wiggles them at the camera.

Diamond: How do you think?

She tosses a bag each off camera, and each of the Angels in turn catch a mojo bag that's been tossed to them. Diamond clears her throat.

Diamond: Now... how should we do it this time? Be'witched style? I dream of Jeanie style? Or should we change it up?

Off screen from Nyla, we hear her butler Denton clear his throat.

Denton: What about the Teen Titans?

Nyla lifts her eyebrow at him off camera.

Denton: What? The ceremony is live streaming on Twitter, and that was one of the suggestions that one of your fans replied. "Wouldn't it be cool if Diamond did magic like that girl from Teen Titans?" is what was said to be exact.

Diamond claps her hands and throws her head back with laughter, then reaches into the mojo bag and pulls out a handful of crystal dust with all of the others following suit.

Diamond: I LOVE IT!! Alright everyone... count of 3, and we all do it together... 1.... 2.... 3!!!!

All of the Angels yell out at the same time...

AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!!!

They then blow a handful of crystal dust towards their respective camera. As they do, a huge cloud of glitter comes blasting out from big screen as all of the calls start to distort, then crackle to snow. The cloud blankets the crowd, and five winged figures start to descend from the ceiling towards the stage. The Angels hover for a moment with their wings unfurled. They're white towards the bones of the wings, but at the tips of the wings, they ombre out from silver to grey to black. They touch ground and stand there for a moment with the wings unfurled, before they close them back and behind their backs and come together at the podium, each shaking Mark's hand and giving him hugs.

Diamond: Awww... Don't worry Mark! It was just a little magic!!

Mark laughs heartily.

HS: Well, you ladies always did love a dramatic entrance. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages... The Angels of The Fallen!!

Raynin walks over to the podium and smiles to the crowd.

Raynin: What can I say... When I first came to Sin City Wrestling, I knew I was in for one of the biggest challenges of my life. I was a rookie that Mark was taking a chance on. Little did I know, life had a huge change in store for me. Darknyss came on the scene, and she made me an offer I couldn't refuse. She opened her big brain of expertise and helped me to become something I never thought I would have an opportunity of becoming... and that was a part of a group like none other. We are not just tag team partners and stable mates... We became family. I can call each and every person in The Fallen a sister. They're cooler than any sorority out there, and genuinely support one another. They helped me to become a stronger wrestler, and a better person. We have stood by each other through good times and bad, and I have to say... as awesome as becoming a Hall of Famer is... The day I became a member of The Fallen was the best day of my life. This induction was just the cherry on top of an awesome cake.

Darknyss steps up to the mic and puts an arm across Raynin's shoulder.

Darknyss: We only called you Rookie because you were the youngest of us all. No one who comes out of your Grandfather's training camp can EVER be called a rookie Raynin. But I will say this. Having you in the group did make for some very interesting times.

She takes a step back for a moment, breathing deeply.

Darknyss: What can I say about being in the SCW Hall of Fame... I could do like other people and talk about everywhere that I've wrestled before... But if you're a true member of The Fallen's Flock, you know my biography in and out and every which way around. You know that I've been inducted into the Hall of Fame of every company I've ever stepped foot into, along with every one of the Angels. We may have had a different group name, but the solidarity has never changed. But in Sin City Wrestling... there was one huge difference... The level of competition was so fierce in the Bombshell Division, it was awe inspiring. In other companies, we were all so used to dominating the other women that we HAD to face off against the men to get any sort of competition. But here... every time any of us sat back and watched matches, or stepped out in the ring for a match of our own... we were impressed. The Superstar's Division was just as impressive. It brought the fighting spirit out of all of us! So to everyone who has ever been a part of the Sin City Wrestling Universe, we applaud you.

The Angels start to clap to everyone on stage behind them, and out into the audience, then Diamond steps up to the podium.

Diamond: We Angels prided ourselves on our competitiveness, and our loyalty to one another. There we those who thought that if we were pitted against one another, that it would put a rift between us, and were shocked that we would go from trying to knock one another's heads off, to hugging just after. But that's what it means to be family, and not just a group who was brought together by chance. And there were others who we saw that same kind of spark, and offered a hand of friendship. Then Angel Clan, Dmitri, of course The Men of R.O.A.R., Dark Tiger, Big Tiger...

Raynin leans over and yells into the mic.

Raynin: And my former snuggle bear, Angel!! HEY SNUGGLE BOO!!! MISS YOU!!!

Raynin waves and blows kisses towards Angel, and Despayre makes a face, shaking his head, and turning the teddybear away.

Diamond rolls her eyes, and shakes her head.

Diamond: As I was saying... Being a part of the Sin City Wrestling we had the amazing opportunity to be the catalyst to springboard other tag teams and groups into being. We were the first all female group. Not just a tag team, but so much more. And we couldn't be more proud of what came after us. We're not just alumni... We're fans too!!

Gothika steps forward.

Gothika: So, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. To all of you out there who helped us to get where we are now... Thank you. Do we miss being on the SCW stage... of course we do. But family is important for us too. I know when the kids are a little older, I will definitely be coming back for some more time in the ring. And I don't think I will be alone.

Nyla steps forward and nods.

Nyla: That's right. You haven't seen the last of the Angels of the Fallen. And there's quite a few more of us that haven't graced the SCW ring... So you may be introduced to a few new names along the way. But there's one last group we have to thank for this... And that's all of you fans out there! None of this would be possible without your support, your energy, and your cheers!! Thanks for believing in us!!

The Angels take each other's hands and lifts them high in the air, then blows kisses and applause out to the crowd.

Hot Stuff steps up to the podium one more time.

HS: Beautiful ladies, welcome to the Hall of Fame.

Hot Stuff looks around the crowd as The Fallen steps to the back of the stage.

HS: Please, put your hands together for your SCW Hall of Fame 2020.

Hot Stuff points to the back of the stage where The Fallen stand, along side the now returning to the Stage, Synn, with Despayre behind him, Casey Williams with J2H standing behind him, and Delia Darling, with Mercedes standing behind her. The camera pans along them all as the crowd rise to their feet in cheers. The camera passes by one more time before fading to black.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes X where we see the competitors in tonight's opener, Mac Bane and the reigning and defending SCW Roulette Champion Kedron Williams as they wait to see what match they will be competing in.

Simone: Pandemic or not, we are continuing the tradition of having the Roulette Title Match open the show.

Adams: Kedron beat O'Malley to win the belt several weeks ago and Mac won the opportunity to challenge for the belt the week before, this is going to be good.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?

Mac and Kedron nod and Ms. Rocky Mountains gives the wheel a spin, it slows down and once it lands on the stip you can faintly hear Mark Ward yelling "YES" in the background.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Huh, I guess that tradition is continuing despite the pandemic, our opening match for High Stakes X is the Black Friday Brawl!

Simone: Falls Count Anywhere within a store/mall, and I'm being told that we are using Ariana Angelos's favourite food supply store for the match!

Adams: I've watched her videos on her YouTube channel, and I can confidently say that this will be better than anything she's made on Recipe 4 Disaster!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck gentlemen!

Drew and Justin catch up with the two competitors to lead them to the parking lot as the scene fades.




Simone: Welcome back to High Stakes X and our opening match proves that not even a global pandemic can kill certain traditions as Mac Bane challenges Kedron Williams for the SCW Roulette Championship in a Black Friday Brawl.

Adams: And before anyone points it out, yes, we know Black Friday is this coming Friday, but we work with what we've got here in SCW! Basically, it's a Falls Count Anywhere Match that takes place inside a store, in this case a food supply store.

Simone: Let's take it to Justin who's on location!

Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your opening contest scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Roulette Championship! Thanks to a spin of the wheel, we know that this match will be a Black Friday Brawl!

The crowd in the arena cheer as Kedron and Mac enters the store.

Justin: Introducing the challenger, from Port Arthur, Texas, weighing in at 280lbs, Mac Bane!

Mac steps forward and immediately starts searching for a weapon.

Justin: And his opponent, from Salem, Massachusetts, weighing in at 179lbs, he is the reigning and defending SCW Roulette Champion, Ked.........

Justin doesn't even get a chance to finish introducing Kedron before Mac whacks the champion over the head with a pan, Drew rushes into the store and signals for the bell as Justin bails.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And I was all set to say that Kedron beat O'Malley in a Dog Collar Match to win the title and Mac beat Bill Barnhart in a Dumpster Match to earn the opportunity.

Adams: Not to mention Mac beat Stephan Callaway in a Falls Count Anywhere Match as a tune up for this match!

Mac doesn't go for the cover right away, instead using the pan to whack Kedron over the upper torso and mid-section until the pan is broken at which point he tosses it to the side before going for the first cover of not only the match but the night.

ONE!

TWO!

And Kedron gets the shoulder up! Mac shakes his head before he starts looking for another weapon to use but right as he's looking at the Pressure Cookers Kedron comes from out of nowhere and starts brawling with the challenger.

Simone: Mac outweighs the Kedron by just over a hundred pounds, but the champion isn't backing down.

Adams: The reason for that is simple, Kedron doesn't want to be yet another one and done champion!

Despite the obvious size difference between the two men Kedron manages to hold his own against Mac as champion and challenger go back and forth, after a few minutes Kedron spears Mac into an empty shelf finally knocking the challenger off his feet, not content with knocking over the self however Kedron then picks up Mac and hits him with a DDT before going for his first cover of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

And Mac gets the shoulder up! Kedron looks around before spotting a Cast Iron Pan on display and goes for it.

Simone: Those things are heavy, if Kedron hits Mac with that Cast Iron Pan then this match is over!

Adams: Not to mention the concussion risk for Mac!

Kedron takes the pan and realizes how heavy it is but with some effort he's able to get it into a swinging it at Mac Bane's head but fortunately for the big Texan he ducks the shot and low blows the champ causing Kedron to drop the pan onto his foot! Kedron doesn't even get a chance to register the pain in his foot and balls before Mac rolls him up.

ONE!

TWO!

And Kedron gets the shoulder up in time, Mac tosses the cast iron pan aside Mac starts looking for another weapon to use whilst Kedron shakes off the low blow and the fact that he dropped a cast iron pan onto his foot.

Simone: Right now, the challenger has the advantage over the champion.

Adams: To be fair, Kedron was low blowed by Mac and dropped a Cast-Iron Pan onto his foot.

Mac spies a pressure cooker and grabs the lid apparently intending to use it like a trash can lid and then grabs another lid before turning his attention back to Kedron only to realize that the champion is not there, Mac looks around and finally locates Kedron just in time for the champion to dive onto him from the top of the aisle sending both pressure cooker lids flying in the process! Kedron doesn't go straight for the cover however as he waits for Mac to get to his knees before hitting a Shining Wizard.

Simone: I didn't think we'd see a wrestling move in this match, but Kedron just proved me wrong with that dive and Shining Wizard.

Adams: So, did Mac with that roll-up just now! And speaking of covers, here's Kedron with a cover on Mac!

ONE!

TWO!

And Mac gets the shoulder up in time! Kedron looks around before spying one of the pressure cooker's lids that Mac picked up and picks that up.

Simone: I wonder what the foodies in our audience are thinking seeing this much cooking equipment being used as weapons?

Adams: Probably something like "DON'T BREAK THE EXPENSIVE STUFF!"!

Kedron waits for Mac to get back to his feet and when he does, Kedron swings for the fences with the pressure cooker lid but Mac ducks under it at the last second and when Kedron turns around it's right into the Snake Bite.

Simone: Snake Bite! Do we have a new champion!

Adams: Kedron's dropped the cooker lid, so I think so, excuse the pun but stick a fork in Kedron, he's done.

Sure enough, Mac hits the Claw Slam variation of the move and holds on for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW SCW ROULETTE CHAMPION, MAC BANE!

Simone: The nights only just started, and we already have a new champion!

Adams: This is going to be a crazy night for sure Belinda!

Mac is handed the title and celebrates his win as we cut back to the arena.




We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see the Zduniches. They have the newest member of their family, Aurora, with them. Aurora smiles as she watches one of her mothers, Christina, actually changing into her attire for the evening. She is decked out in all pink and smirks as Aurora along with a special playdate of Juliet Steele-Warren is in the locker room. The 10 and 11 year olds begin to jump around excitedly as they are enjoying the atmosphere.

Aurora: Tonight is going to be super amazing!

Juliet: Yes it is because my mommy and daddy are going to be boom, boom, POW...

Aurora: Nuh Uh!!!! My mommies are going to be amazing. Just look at my mommy, she has on cool wrestling gear!

Christina smiles as she nods her head in agreement.

Christina: It's going to be amazing because tonight I am representing Ochaco from My Hero Academia better known to everybody as Gravity Girl! Tonight it's about showcasing the power of gravity. I plan to fly off of everything and anything. I won't stop and I will showcase the power of being a hero. Like you told me Aurora heroes don't need to wear capes, which is why Ochaco is quite amazing!

Aurora: GRAVITY GIRL!!!!

Seleana can't help but smile.

Seleana: Min vackra fru!

Aurora's eyes light up.

Aurora: "My beautiful wife!"

Seleana nods approvingly.

Seleana: Ja, Freja is teaching you well.

Juliet: You all are amazing and I can't wait for the amount of sleepovers we can have with each other. I really hope your parents do amazing tonight. I am super worried about mine. J2H is a stupid meanie jerk face, and Evie scares me!

Aurora: It's okay! They will do great I am sure. I am happy though because my mommy can get the Internet title just like your daddy and as far as my other one goes I hope she doesn't get too hurt fighting mean Andrea...

Christina bends down as she looks at her daughter.

Christina: I don't want you to be worried and no matter what happens, I just want you to know that at the end of the day you and Seleana are the most important thing to me. I want to beat Andrea don't get me wrong but you both are my world, more so than anything or any championship could be. It took me a long time to realize that but I have finally accepted that.

Aurora: I love you both so much. Whatever happens you both are winners in my eyes and that's all that matters right?!

Christina: That's right, and I know I am a winner because I get to come home to the two of you every night!

Seleana hugs Christina from behind.

Seleana: Jag alskar dig, Estrellita!

She glances at Aurora and again, the little girl's eyes light up.

Aurora: "I love you!"

Seleana nods, releasing her grip on her wife and moving to hug Aurora.

Seleana: Ja, and I love you as well.

There is love in that locker room. That is until we hear something insensitive, we hear something that is totally off color. We are only treated to the sound of someone yelling as we can see someone walking through the locker room door.

???: WHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT?!

Seleana glances at Freja only briefly, motioning at the children.

Seleana: Freja, håll de små i hörnet. Den här skit i det blå skåpet.

Freja nods and quickly maneuvers the two girls away from the door just in case.

It is at this moment where we can see Brittany Williams walking through the door. She has an evil grin on her face as she looks over at the man entering and it's none other than her father Todd Williams. He cracks a wicked grin as he looks over at Christina.

T-Will: You know I just want to say it actually feels amazing to be here right now especially when I get to see my beautiful and lovely first love. Let's not forget who gave you the nickname of Crystal in the first place...

Before he could say anything else that is when his wife Hope Dawson-Williams walks into the room. She shakes her head in disgust glancing at her husband.

Hope: Don't even look at your ex's wife either. There's only one white woman you need and that's me!

She says sliding up on him as Christina seems disgusted.

Christina: What do you want?!

T-Will: So you must be Aurora... Pleasure to meet you little one...

Seleana motions at Freja.

Seleana: Det finns ingen ko på isen. Bara en gris i rummet.

Freja nods and lets the kids back over to the new arrivals.

T-Will: I love accents and you got a tall one too...

Christina: WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

T-Will: Let's just say you will be seeing a lot more of me... Now if you would excuse me. I have some business to attend too...

With that T-Will and Hope leave the room with Brittany just staring at everyone in disgust as we go elsewhere.




The lights in the arena dim slightly as the distinct opening chords of Imagine Dragons "I'm So Sorry" starts to play over the speaker. The drumbeat kicks in as every eye in the area looks towards the entrance ramp. Images of London flashes on the main screen, along with the members of London Underground. The fans boo as Daniel J Morgan, Osbourne, Mackenzie Page and Charlotte Elliot walk on to the ramp.

Adams: Holy hell, London Underground are here!

The four stand calmly, Daniel looks around the crowd as the stoned faced, emotionless Osbourne stands behind him. To either side of them, Mackenzie stands focused, while Charlotte stands stone faced. Daniel looks back with a tilt of the head, nodding towards the ring. The four slowly start to walk down the ramp, mostly ignoring the fans as they move along. Daniel gets to the ring first, a picture of calmness on his face as he looks up at the ring and starts to walk up the steps. He lifts his nearest legs to the ropes and steps in the ring, ducking his body and moving in to the ring. He puts his arms out to the fans as the emotionless Osbourne joins him in the ring, just standing in the middle of the ring, his left hand on his right as a smile crosses Daniel's face. Mackenzie and Charlotte join the two in the ring and quickly moves towards the ropes, both women climbing on them, unaffected by their boos. The women jump down and join the men in the middle of the ring as Daniel is handed a mic.

Daniel: Of all the faces you expected to see here tonight, I think we can safely say that ours was not there on your list.

Daniel looks around at Os, Charley and Kenz.

Daniel: I mean why would we be when we were sitting at home during this pandemic, doing naff all, until we could open the Casino. You'd probably be sitting there wondering why everyone else was at work and we wasn't.

Daniel walks around the ring.

Daniel: We didn't have to be at work, we didn't have to show up. Christian and I have a little understanding when it comes to business and he knows that being here is not a top thing for us, he knew that we had a lot of interests outside of these ropes that we needed to take care of in this poxy pandemic, so he let us do our own thing, but it never meant for a second we'd take our eye off the ball here in SCW. Oh we watched every minute of every match, every rubbish Caleb Storms parody, every stupid rehashed seven deadly sins pony that Kiera was throwing down, listen darling, that's a bit overplayed, ya know?

A slight smile creeps over Daniel's face.

Daniel: We sat and watch Amber Ryan and Roxi Johnson rip strips off each other. That was entertainment, sadly though, we also watched Teddy Warren piss his undies which was not.

A look of disgust crosses the faces of the group.

Daniel: Terrible Teddy.

Daniel slowly shakes his head.

Simone: We can agree with that.

Daniel: We watched Griffin Hawkins take his ball and piss off back to places who gave him everything he wanted. We even saw you Jack Washington.

Daniel slowly nods his head.

Daniel: We saw you basically try and do what we did a few years ago and go in to the casino business with some pretty nasty people. Shoulda came to us pal, instead of trying to do what we have already done, wouldn't look like ya just following our path or being an absolute rip off merchant.

Daniel sharply tilts his head.

Daniel: We even watched The Black Sheep gain and defend something we gave credibility to, you'd think our focus would be there, right?

He looks at Osbourne, as stoned faced as ever.

Daniel: Only thing we see with The Black Sheep is there's now four of you and there's four of us right here. I guess the same could be said about you Wolfslair, four of you, four of us.

He points around the group.

Daniel: We could very much see just who the best group around here is very easily, except, there's not four of us anymore.

Adams: I think his counting is a bit off. I count four.

Simone: Me too.

Daniel moves to the rope, leaning on it and looking at the back.

Daniel: A good general knows there's strength in numbers. I've seen comebacks fail miserably from a lot of people who sit there and say yay, I'm coming back stronger when realistically, you're not. You're coming back just as were and hoping your name value counts for something. Now us, no, we're coming back stronger and it doesn't matter if it's those tag titles, or single titles we're going for everything and anything. We ready to be part of that tag division, but we're also looking at the Roulette championship, we're looking at the Internet championships and we're looking at the World championships. no one's safe, but sometimes, you need to strengthen, sometimes you need some extra eyes watching your back, so let me introduce you to the extra set of eyes.

Simone: Extra eyes.

Daniel: Being led to the ring by the now official manager of London Underground, Nicky George, let me introduce you to an old friend of mine, the latest member of the group, Cassian Reed!

The cameras shifted from the ring back up the ramp and right on cue "Bad Mother F*cker" by Kid Rock and Machine Gun Kelly hit the airways. After a few moments of suspense, Nicky George pushes his way through the curtains, walking out to the centre of the ramp. He wasn't alone as the curtains part once more, the cameras panning in on the newest active member of London Underground Cassian Reed. He was dressed to impress in a baby blue trousers, a plain white t-shirt and a matching baby blue jacket. Bright white sneakers on his feet, his left wrist housed a large diamond encrusted gold watch, around his neck was a grand gold chain.

Adams: Well Cassian doesn't seem like your usual London Underground member.

Simone: London is a big place... that's for sure.

Nicky's face was stone cold, laser focused while Cassian couldn't wipe the smug smirk off his face. The two, not wasting any more time, made their way towards the ring, to greet the rest of their stable. They completely overlook the fans in attendance, the two of them clearly couldn't give a shit about the fans. Nicky took the lead as he walked up the steps, before entering the ring walking over towards Daniel to shake his hand. He did the same to Osbourne, Mackenzie and Charlotte. Meanwhile Cassian Reed, took a casual stroll around the outside of the six-sided ring taking it all in. Looking up at Daniel from the outside, Cassian fires off a cocky wink of his right eye before he makes his way over towards the steps. Walking up them with light feet, Cassian makes his way into the ring stepping over the middle rope before adjusting his suit jacket. Making sure everything was in place before he walks over towards the group. He too shook the hands of each member as his theme song died down to nothing. With a proud smirk on his face Daniel hands the microphone to Cassian, before taking a step back to let the newly debuted superstar speak.

Cassian: Dannnny boooooy!!!

Cassian smiles as if he has just won the lottery. His British accent was thick, but not as polished as Daniel's.

Cassian: Allow your eyes to feast upon the newest member of London Underground... allow your eyes to take a look at fucking greatness as you scan around this ring. Take a look at everything your fucking not... let it eat you, let it annoy the fuck out of you... because I can promise you, we aren't' going nowhere.

He addressed the fans, not caring for their boos. Daniel, Nicky and Osbourne all nod in agreement with Cassian.

Cassian: I can't tell the world how much of an honour it is to be hand selected as the newest member of London Underground, but you can bet your balls i'm going to do everything in my power to make this washed up, lack of talent, lack of charisma roster wish that Daniel never flew me over from across the pond, because you see it's real simple...

His focus turns back to the camera, a wild smug smirk on his face.

Cassian: You're all on fucking notice... from Caleb to fucking Jack the Rip Off... I don't give two shits who you think you are, because trust me... you're not worth a pinch of salt to me.

Cassian seemed like he was shouting, without raising his voice. He was electric, pumped up. His cold blue eyes stared down the lens of the camera as he delivered a message home to the boys out back.

Cassian: I didn't come here to be average, I came here to be the fucking best. I came here to be part of the best damn family in wrestling, and believe me... you're not ready for all of this.

Cassian show-boated himself, his hands waving up and down his body. He spins on the balls of his feet in his bright white kicks and hands the microphone back to Daniel who nods in approval of his last statement.

Daniel: You heard the man, we didn't come back here to sit in the background anymore, we came back here to show that there's not a division in SCW that shouldn't be afraid. This is the start of the year of London Underground, and you best believe that we'll be up for a scrap with anyone on the roster. Starting tonight.

Daniel looks toward Charlotte and Mackenzie before dropping the microphone as "I'm So Sorry" starts to blash though the speakers.

Simone: London Underground is back with new recruits.

Adams: They were strong before but no doubt even stronger now. I think SCW should take notice.




Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a three way match...introducing first

"Remedy" by Cold plays and Stephen Callaway struts to the ring singing along with his music. He never touches hands with the fans. He taps the ringpost with his index finger before walking up the steps and through the ropes. Once in the ring he walks to the corner diagonal from where he came in and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and raises his right arm in the shape of a semi circle.

Justin: Standing 6'2 and weighing in at 234 pounds, from Hamilton South Lanarkshire, Stephan Callllllaway

Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the curtain, wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him.

Justin: From Milan, Italy, he is Agostino Romano

Agostino does high fives to the crowd before seeing a kid in the front row which he pulls funny faces at along with giving them a hat from his Global Bike Championship days. He then goes inside of the ring and waves at the fans with the crowd cheering for him while James claps from outside of the ring before Agostino waits for his opponent to come out to the ring with James standing at ringside.

"Firestarter" by The Prodigy starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. He bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand springboarding backwards into a superhero pose as the fans go crazy!.

Justin: Now in the ring he is 6'1 and waiting at 185 pounds, from Manchester in the United Kingdom Miles Kasey

DING DING DING!

The match begins with all three men staring at each other unsure of how to proceed, they move around one another until Callaway notices that Milo is looking more towards Romano than him, Callaway moves around and drops down hooking milo by the leg pulling him down into a Schoolboy roll up, Romano runs forward and quickly dives over the top of Callaway pulling him off of Milo into a sunset flip pin. Milo is up to his feet and jumps up and over, hooking Romanos arms with his own arm and his legs pulling him over off of Callaway into a crucifix pin. Romano though throws himself over to get out of that and all three men get to their feet staring at each other. Callaway shakes his head as Romano and Milo both have a small laugh, Milo then turns and charges at Calloway who ducks down and out of the ring leaving Romano and Milo alone.

Adams: What the hell is Stephen Callaway doing? He does realise this is not a spectator sport right?

Simone: Hes left the ring to let Milo and Romano go at it, he'll jump in as soon as he sees an opportunity. It's called using your brain. Why would you physically assert yourself when you can just wait until the other two have hurt each other

Adams: I get the strategy behind it but it's not actually in the spirit of competition all the match.

Milo and Romano look each other up and down, they go to tie up, Romano ducks down behind Milo into a re-waste lock. Milo runs forward-looking his arms around the top rope pushing Romano off of him, reminder roles across the rain to his feet and as he runs in Milo steps forward and to the side pushing Romano into the ropes, he ducks down and Romano rolls over Milo's back hitting the ground running behind him, Milo turns around and leapfrogs a charging Romano and as he turns around to wait for him Callaway reaches in and trips Romano up pulling him out of the ring to the floor. The crowd boo's and Callaway grabs a hold of Romano by the top of his tights throwing him face first into the steel steps.

Callaway just shrugs looking at the still limited crowd, but he doesn't see Milo running across the ring gaining momentum and throwing himself over the top rope down onto Callaway with a plancha. Milo throws his fist in the air before grabbing a hold of Callaway by the tights and throwing him into the ring. He gets onto the apron and calls for Calloway to get to his feet and as he does he jumps and springboards off the top rope with a missile dropkick right to Callaways chest. Milo pops up to his feet again hits the ropes and notices Romano to his feet trying to get in, he jumps up and hits a baseball slide dropkick right Romano's face keeping him out of the ring.

Simone: wow Miles is a house of fire right now. Zipping across the ring like a pinball.

Adams: as fast as Romano is I think that Milo might just have him for speed, Romano might be hard to hit when it comes to brawling but Milo definitely has the speed advantage, Callaway though is a wily vet and one of the best technical wrestlers on the planet despite his attitude

Milo grabs Callaway and sets him up for the hail to the Queen, he picks Callaway up onto his shoulders but Calloway is able to drop down behind him and hit the ropes, as Milo turns around Calloway hits a sorry Malcolm ! The sling blade makes Mylos head bounce off of the mat, Romano is able to slide in the ring and as he runs a Callaway he goes for a clothesline, Callaway ducks down and hooks Romano by the arm and spins him into a DDT spiking Romano headfirst on the mat, he then rolls Romano over and hooks the leg

ONE!

TWO!

Romano kicks out. Callaway looks less than impressed, he gets to his feet and slapped himself on the thigh calling for his superkick he calls the Calsi kick. But before he can go for it Milo comes from out of nowhere jumping up and wrapping his legs around Callaways head pulling him back with the reverse Frankensteiner! Milo pops back to his feet and before he can take advantage Romano jumps up and it's a forward version of the move with a hurricanrana sending Milo across the ring. Callaway gets back to his feet and grabs Romano from behind, Romano the blocks a German suplex attempt and hooks himself around Callaway getting behind him going for the same move, Callaway though also blocks the move elbows Romano in the head and then spins around getting him again. But before he can lift Romano, Kasey slides down behind Callaway hooking him up for a school boy, he drops down and Paul's Callaway back and as he does Callaway lifts Romano hitting a bridging German suplex while Milo has him put in a school boy

ONE!

TWO!

DOUBLE KICK OUT

Simone: What the hell would we have done then?

Adams: I'm not sure, I guess there is a move somewhere about a double pin but I have no idea where we'd find it

Romano holds the back of his head after being taken over by Callaway, Milo pops up and jumps in the air hitting a beautiful dropkick to Callaway taking him off his feet, he calls for the hail to the Queen again and as he grabs Callaway and lift him up Romano is able to jump up and grab Milo pulling him down into the racers crash! He straight away goes for the pin

ONE!

TWO!

Callaway breaks it up! It was desperation to throw himself over the top of both Milo and Romano. Romano runs and jumps up going to give Callaway the same move that he did to Milo, Callaway though is able to block it grabbing the nearest top right to him causing Romano to slip off and land hard on the mat hitting the back of his head, Romano rolls over to his stomach and starts to get up the Callaway hits the ropes hitting his curb stomp that he calls the power cut! Callaway jumps on Romano and Milo is still out of it!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, Stephen Callaway!

Simone: A shock victory for Stephen Callaway!

Adams: I'm not shocked Belly, to me, he was always ready to break out and here at our biggest show of the year, he's done just that.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes X where we see Krystal Wolfe walking around the backstage area whilst looking at her phone.

Krystal: Come on, there's gotta be a PS5 available somewhere other than eBay!

Krystal grumbles to herself before she hears a familiar voice up ahead and looks to see fellow Go Gym graduate Ariana Angelos chatting with HB Carter.

Krystal: Hey guys!

Team Go look up and grin when they see Krystal walking up to them.

Ariana: Hey Krys, looking forward to tonight's matches?

Krystal: Which ones? Tonight's card is so stacked! You ready for your title match tonight Ari?

HBCarter: She's as ready as the food she cooks is inedible.

Ariana gives her bestie a dirty look.

HBCarter: At the best of times I mean!

Ariana: In all seriousness, I am nervous heading into it, this is the biggest match of my career to date and it's at High Stakes X! I don't know about you guys but I'm just ready for this year to be over in general.

Krystal: I think that goes for most people Ari.

HBCarter: She's not wrong!

The three young wrestlers continue talking as the scene fades.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes X where Jessie Salco is warming up for her match against Violet Amelia Holt whilst music is playing in the background, namely Paganizer's Land of Weeping Souls album.

Simone: Didn't Jessie start the Supercard cycle by listening to this album?

Adams: Different album. This was released prior to Tower of the Morbid, or so Jessie tells me.

Once the album ends Jessie stands up just in time to see a familiar face off screen.

Jessie: Hey Keira.

Jessie greets her before Keira steps into the view.

Keira: Hey, can't stay long. What's up?

Jessie: Just getting ready for my match against Violet, I didn't schedule any interviews for it because there's only so many ways I can call the bosses hypocrites before it gets old.

Jessie says semi-jokingly before she leans against the wall.

Jessie: You ready for your title match?

Keira: Ready as I'll ever be.

Keira had a serious tone to her at that moment and Jessie knew it.

Jessie: Yeah well, after all the shit with Maki and Sin I'm ready to have a normal rest of the year! Well, as normal as a wrestler's career can be at least!

Jessie nods before brushing some hair over her shoulder.

Jessie: At least Sin's gone for good, right?

Keira: She is.

Jessie breathes a sigh of relief before chuckling to herself.

Jessie: Good, and if Maki doesn't return then the craziest thing that I'll have to worry about heading into 2021 will be anything to do with Twisted Sister.

Jessie adds before grinning.

Jessie: Good luck against Alicia tonight, I know from personal experience that you'll need it, and if/when we have our title match, may the best woman win.

Keira: Agreed!

The two women share a fist bump before Keira walks off and the scene fades.




Justin: The following match is for one fall... making her way to the ring first.

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

Justin: Introducing, from Miami, Florida, "The Heavy Metal Angel" Jessie Salco!

As the song kicks into high gear with Corey's scream Jessie emerges from the back headbanging along to the song before finishing with the christ pose at the top of the ramp and making her way down to the ring, she slides into the ring and perches herself on the middle turnbuckle waiting for the match to begin.

Justin: And her opponent...

The lights softly die down as a countdown clock appears on the screen. Once the clock hits zero, "GIMME" strikes up as a young woman with blonde hair steps through the curtains with an older gentleman and another young woman alongside her. The crowd is mixed with their reactions.

Justin: Making her way to the ring being accompanied by her father Dustin Holt and sister Shelby Holt, from Port Charlotte, Florida. Standing five feet two inches tall and weighing 128 pounds. Please welcome Violet Amelia Holt

Violet somberly walks down the ramp while whispering to her little sister. She then slides into the ring and throws up a hand gesture which gets people going crazy.

Adams: I love a family affair.

Jessie and Violet don't waste any time at all as they come together in the middle of the ring and lock horns. Jacob sees that the girls have started so he calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Jacob is going to have his hands full tonight. These two hate each other.

Violet gets the upper hand and she quickly drops Jessie to the canvas with a swift Russian leg sweep. Violet hooks the legs looking to call it a night.

ONE!

NO! Jessie kicks out with ease.

Simone: What was Violet thinking?

Adams: Maybe she didn't want to pay for parking?

Jessie and Violet are back up to their feet and this time Jessie comes rushing in with a running knee. Violet twirls out of the way and drags Jessie down with her hair with a back breaker. Salco screams in pain but she doesn't let Holt go for another pin attempt as she quickly rolls out of the way.

Simone: Violet is being nasty tonight.

Adams: You could say she was being more Violent than Violet. Ha-Ha!

Jessie pulls herself up using the ropes as Violet rushes towards her, Jessie ducks out of the way and Violet hooks herself up into the ropes. Jessie takes advantage as she drives her knee into the spine of Violet. Violet is able to unhook her right left that's over the middle rope but she turns straight into a pin point DDT. Her head bounces off the canvas and Jessie rolls her over and goes for the victory.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Violet fires a shoulder up breaking Jacob's count.

Adams: It's going to take more than that Salco.

Simone: Violet seems to be turning red.

Violet scrambles back up to her feet and she rushes towards Jessie trying to knock her down with a spear, but Salco leaps over her at the last second before she chases off after Violet. She spins her around, before hooking her up and sends her face first into the canvas with a suplex. Jessie drops down, makes the cover and looks for the win.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Violet once again fires her shoulder up off the canvas saving herself and keeping the match alive. Both girls make it back to their feet, they rush towards the centre of the ring colliding with a double clothesline. Jacob checks on them but seeing as they are both down he starts a count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Adams: Salco better get up!!

Simone: Violet as well.

FIVE!

Holt gets back to her knees before she gets back up to her feet, rushing towards Salco making a mad cover.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Jessie kicks out!

Simone: That was a close call there.

Adams: Jessie needs to get back into this match, or it's going to be goodnight Irene on getting a chance for the Roulette Championship again.

Violet pulls Jessie up by her hair and she goes to slap the taste out of her mouth as she trash talks her but Jessie wraps her arms around the back of Violet's head and flattens her with a split leg jawbreaker. Violet hits the canvas hard, but Salco doesn't go for the pin. She gets straight back up and comes somersaulting in with a beautiful standing rolling thunder combination. As Jessie splashes down on to of Violet she hooks the leg once more

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Violet saves herself out putting her foot on the bottom rope just in time to stop the count. Jessie is livid but she doesn't waste too much time complaining as she gets back to her feet and degas Violet into the middle of the ring.

Adams: What is Jessie thinking here?

Simone: I have no idea you would have to ask her.

Jessie moves towards the ropes, and she starts to climb the turnbuckle. Her back is facing Violet as she looks for a moonsault. Once she reaches the top rope she launches herself off of it, her intention is to hit Violet but Violet rolls out of the way and Jessie hits the hard unforgiving canvas instead.

Simone: That hurts.

Adams: Like a Bisssh!!

Violet worms her way back over to Jessie hooking the legs looking to steal the win.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Jessie kicks out just in time.

Adams: I can't get over how many close calls there have been in this match.

Simone: Both ladies want victory, they are hitting hard and fast... just nothing is sticking for now.

Violet gets back to her feet, she drags Jessie up by her hair and she delivers an almighty slap across Salco's face. Salco drops to one knee and Holt comes crashing in with a running knee to the face. She mounts Jessie and starts to hit left and right punches to her face, trying to pound the life out of her.

Simone: Violet has had enough it seems.

Adams: I told you, she should be called Violent tonight.

Violet gets back to her feet and she begs Jessie to stand up and fight her. Jessie gets back to her feet, stumbling from side to side as Violet lines her up perfectly for the Kiss of Death.

Simone: A beautiful standing drop kick by Violet.

Jessie doesn't hit the canvas in fact she is rocked backwards into the ropes. Violet rushes towards her looking to drive her shoulder into Jessie's midsection but Jessie leaps out of the way with the last bit of wind she has in her sails. She grabs a handful of Violet's hair and slaps her back first into the canvas, followed by four swift boots to the side of the head. Once Jessie sees that Violet is out, she drags herself up the corner once more. She climbs it as quickly as she can to take advantage of the fallen Violet and once she is at the top she doesn't much around as she comes flying back down with a beautiful 450 splash.

Adams: WALL OF DEATH!!!

Simone: Jessie is hooking the leg.

Jessie covers Violet looking for the victory.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner... Jessie Salco!

Adams: I bet she is praying Johanna just witnessed this match, because I get the feeling Jessie isn't done with the Roulette Championship just yet.

Jacob raises Jessie's hand in victory as she celebrates in the centre of the ring with a proud smile on her face.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes X where we see the challenger for the SCU Underground Championship Ariana Angelos standing by with Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ari, tonight you are competing in the biggest match of your career just over a year since your debut, how are you feeling?

Ariana: I haven't felt this nervous since I signed up for the Go Gym two years ago but I'm ready for this! There's no way I'm walking out without the Underground championship and I hope Dahlia's ready for the fight of her life because she's about to get just that!

Ariana says before taking a deep breath.

Ariana: Gabriel, Odette, I may have been the youngest member of the 2019 class but tonight I'm doing the Go Gym proud by being the first member of that class to win the top title! Dahlia, I'll see you in the ring because fortune favours the bold and I will win the title with the grace of the Angel's Descent!

Ariana walks off as the scene fades.




RECORDED EARLIER

Dahlia is sitting inside the Three Way trophy room.

Dahlia: By now you all know what I've achieved in the sport of professional, this room is filled with them, as you can see.

There is probably no other woman in the history of Honor, Northern Lights, or Sin City that has done what I have, and when I'm sitting in this chair retired from wrestling, I may be considered the greatest women's wrestler in the history of the organizations I've previously listed.

Dahlia smiles

Dahlia: Or maybe I won't who knows right. Ariana it wasn't that long ago we battled each other and on that night you and Alex walked out tag team champions, I have no bitterness about that, we all win and lose sometimes, but Ariana at High Stakes it's you and me one on one for the my Underground championship, and we'll probably steal the show, that's how great we both are, but don't look at my respect for you as weakness, I will do what it takes to keep my title within the rules of course, Ariana I wish you luck at High Stakes and if you win, that's okay and If I win that's okay too. I look forward to sharing the ring with you at High Stakes see you there.




Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCU Underground Championship!

The intro to "Fortune Favours the Bold" hits the speakers and once the vocals hit Ariana comes out to a modest reception, the young wrestler claps hand with the fans at ringside as she makes her way down to the ring.

Darlyn: Introducing, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania "The Greek Angel" Ariana Angelos!

Ariana rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd before waiting for the match to start.

Darlyn: Aaaaaaand her opponent, from Leeds, England, now residing in Edmonton, Alberta... standing at 5'5" and weighing in at 280lb, she is... Dahlia Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrotten!!!

Dahlia steps on the stage accompanied by Earl and Sarah, they walk to the ring and enter, a spotlight shine on the rings, Dahlia and Sarah wrap their arms around Earl's neck and he gives the crowd an arrogant smile. Earl and Sarah step to the outside of the ring as Dahlia walks around, waiting for the match to start.

DING DING DING!

Gena: The bell rings, and Ari comes to the center of the ring to shake hands with Dahlia Dahlia, and Dahlia accepts the shake to get the match going. Ari steps back and nods with the cheering crowd.

Chad: She then launches herself forward with a Roundhouse Kick to Dahlia, sending her backwards into the ropes.

Gena: Ari hits a series of rapid jabs, strikes, and kicks. Dahlia grabs onto Ari's hair and pulls her in closer, but Ari nails a Headbutt that sends Dahlia back into the corner.

Chad: Ari jumps up and down with pride, clapping her hands as she charges back to the opposite corner. She charges forward for a Spear.

Gena: Oh, but Dahlia steps out of the way grabbing the back of Ari's tights as she sends her flying into the post. She keeps hold and repeatedly sends her into the post, hitting her one, two, three, FOUR times!

Chad: The ring skills and experience of the champ is showing here. Ari holds onto her shoulder as Dahlia picks her up into a Samoan Drop, hooking the leg of Ari.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Gena: Ari gets a shoulder up as she tries to wiggle free. Dahlia grits her teeth as she leans up. She picks Ari up with a Body Slam. She jerks Ari back up to her feet and sends her flying into the corner.

Chad: Ari collides with the corner and holds onto her shoulder as she slowly sinks. Dahlia quickly follows up with a Body Avalanche to Ari. She drags Ari up to her feet once again as she runs her face across the top rope, back and forth.

Gena:: Ari cries out as she tries to elbow Dahlia in the side, but Dahlia grabs onto the back of her hair and slams her head down to the mat hard with a Hair Pull Mat Slam. She shouts out at the cheering audience before hitting a Standing Body Splash. She hooks the leg once more.

ONE!

TWO!

Thr-Kickout!

Chad: Ari bravely gets her shoulder up, but Dahlia is not messing around as she yanks her up to her feet. She spins her around and hits a few kidney shots with the elbow to Ari's back. Ari shouts out in pain as she stumbles forward.

Gena: Dahlia spins her around and grabs her up into a Bear Hug. She wrings her arms as she swings Ari around like a ragdoll. She is determined as Ari screams out in pain.

Chad: The referee asks her if she quits, and she shakes her head as she slaps Dahlia's back once. She then tries clubbing, but Dahlia squeezes more tightly. Ari is able to grab hold of the ropes behind Dahlia. The referee begins to count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

LET HER GO!

Gena: Dahlia casually drops Ari and shrugs her shoulders as she glances over to Sarah and Earl. She then turns around to pick Ari up from the mat. However, Ari sweeps Dahlia's leg out from under her and climbs on her back with a Camel Clutch!

Chad: Not smart as Dahlia bucks her right off. However, as Dahlia gets to her hands and knees, Ari unloads a series of kicks to Dahlia, sending her onto her ass. She crawls backwards, but Ari uses her speed advantage to keep the assault up.

Gena: Ari goes for one last kick, sending the champ down to the mat! She climbs up onto the second turnbuckle and jumps off with a Double Stomp to the stomach of Dahlia. She rolls off and bounces off of the ropes, coming back with a Moonsault! Hooks the let!

ONE!

TWO!

Thr...Kickout!

Chad: Dahlia gets a shoulder up. She rolls over onto her stomach and crawls to the ropes. Ari times it out so that when Dahlia is leaning through the ropes, she leaps over with a Guillotine Leg Drop.

Gena: She grips onto Dahlia's hair and dives through the ropes, back into the ring, with a sort of Rolling Neckbreaker. She gives Dahlia a few kicks to see if she's still with us, and Dahlia doesn't move!

Chad: Ari goes up top and she perches herself there. The crowd is cheering loudly for her and chanting her name. She smiles in the adoration. She then steadies herself to get ready for the Angel's Descent (Corkscrew Shooting Star Press)!

Gena: She leaps off, but Dahlia rolls out of the way! She watches as Ari lands hard, and she immediately pounces with the Black Dahlia (Arm Triangle Choke)! Ari tries to get some sort of advantage toward the ropes, but Dahlia's weight and power advantage lets her know that won't be possible, and she taps!

DING DING DING!

Darlyn: Here is your winner and STILL SCU Underground Champion... Dahlia Rotten!!!

"Menage et Trois" plays over the speakers as Dahlia gets her belt. She hoists it up high as the crowd cheers for her. After a moment of this, she helps Ari get back up. Ari looks crushed, but Dahlia gives her an encouraging, gentle tap to the chin to tell her to keep her chin up, and better luck next time. Ari nods, but you can see the emotions stirring. She exits the ring to leave Dahlia to celebrate.




The camera opens up just by the entrance, or exit depending on how you look at it, leading to the parking lot of the Orleans Arena. Superstars past and present are still arriving throughout the early stages of the show and as the camera focuses on the door, it suddenly bursts open and a smiling familiar blonde Bombshell steps through!

Simone: It's Bobbie Dahl!

Adams: She's baaaaack!

Simone: Well, at least for the night it seems. I wonder where Art--

Before Belinda can finish that thought, Bobbie Dahl's adorable significant other, Artie, appears behind her! Bobbie closes her eyes and takes in a deep breath, then lets it all out.

Bobbie: Ya smell that, Artie?!

Artie does a quick sniff of the air and suddenly fans his hand in front of his face.

Artie: I could have gone without smelling that. You could have warned me!

The fans in attendance can be heard laughing and Bobbie shoots a glare at her special guy.

Bobbie: Hey! I'd let you know if it was me, honey! And no! I was talking about the smell of hard work, sweat and tears! Gee I missed this place!

Artie: Oh...

Artie shrugs and Bobbie looks around, watching all of the SCW crew and superstars buzzing around backstage.

Bobbie: C'mon, Artie! Let's go find the catering table! They go all out for the biggest show of the year!

Artie: But...we ate before we--

Bobbie then takes Artie by the hand and as she quickly gets on her way, she drags him with her with a sudden yank, and the camera fades.

Justin: The following match is for one fall... introducing first.

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

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

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

Justin: And her opponent.

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

Justin: Introducing from Houston Texas, she has been known as SCW's sweetheart, she is Sam Marlowe!

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

Simone: This should be a classic.

Sam and Courtney make their way to the middle of the ring where Jasmine makes them both well aware that she won't be tolerating any nonsense tonight. Once she is satisfied, Jasmine calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Let's go SAM!!

Simone: Good to see you don't have favourites.

Sam and Courtney tie up in the centre of the ring, in a power display. Sam gets the upper hand as she slides Courtney into a side headlock. Courtney does her best to drive her elbow into Sam's side to break the hold but Sam drags Courtney by her head and slaps her down the canvas with a stiff bulldog. Sam makes a quick cover hoping to take a surprise victory.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Courtney powers out of the pin with ease and the two get back to their feet.

Simone: Look at the smile on Sam's face.

Adams: Yet, but look at Courtney's she is not impressed at all by what Sam just tried to pull.

The two girls rush towards one another and this time it's Courtney who gets the upper hand as she takes Sam by surprise with a swift kick to the midsection. Sam doubles over and Courtney swoops in with a face plant DDT. Once Sam hits the deck, Courtney rolls her over and hooks the leg, looking to claim victory.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Sam fires her shoulder up off the canvas keeping this match alive. Courtney has a wild smirk on her face as she stares at Sam as if to call it even.

Adams: Courtney with the mind games.

Simone: Sam looks somewhat impressed.

They get back to their feet, Courtney fires off a flying forearm that rocks Sam back into the ropes. She tried to cover up but Courtney let off a round of left and right punches, before she delivered three very painful sounding knife edge chops that got Sam's chest glowing red from impact. Courtney dashes backwards in the ring before she comes running back towards Sam looking to take her out with a spear but Sam leaps up and rolls over Courtney's arched back and somersaults her. The fans in attendance go wild for Sam's athletic display.

Adams: Like a cat!!

Simone: Courtney has no idea what just happened.

With her back turned to Sam, Courtney springs right back into her only to be greeted with a double knee backbreaker takedown. Courtney lands on top of Sam's knees before she rolls off groaning in pain. Sam gets back to her feet, looking down at Courtney she rushes towards the ropes and uses them for extra velocity before she comes crashing back in with a beautiful standing moonsault. On impact Sam hooks the leg looking for the win.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Courtney gets the shoulder up, just in the nick of time to keep this match alive.

Adams: That was a close call.

Simone: Too close for Courtney.

Sam gets back to her feet, she drags Courtney up with her but as she looks to tie up her neck for a swinging neck breaker, Courtney forcefully shoves her out of the way. Sam rocks back into the ropes and Courtney comes in swinging with peppering Sam with left and eights. Sam covers up, so Courtney moves to driving her shoulder into Sam's stomach. Courtney drags Sam over to the corner and she kicks her right In the knees dropping Sam down in to corner. Courtney sees an opening and she dashed across the ring to gain momentum before she comes sprinting back in, she connects with a double knee assault to Sam's face. Sam groans in pain as she springs back into the ropes while Courtney lines her up for a second running double knees.

Simone: Get out of the way Sam.

Adams: Sam move.

Sam tries to save herself but she is unable to move out of the way in time as Courtesy connects with the double knees once more. Sam is now laid out while Courtney makes it back up to her feet, she drags Sam into the middle of the ring before she drops down with a cross body splash and hooks the leg on impact.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Sam kicks out just in time, much to Courtney's dismay.

Adams: Another close call.

Simone: These girls are putting everything they have into this match.

Courtney gets back to her feet, she lifts Sam up by her hair only to talk a little trash right in her face before she slaps the taste out of it. Sam rocks on her heels and when she comes back up to standing she is popped straight back down to the canvas with a stunning big boot by Courtney. Courtney drops down looking for the pin fall victory and Jasmine makes the count.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Sam kicks out!

Adams: Sam just won't quit.

Simone: You have to hand it to Courtney she is performing beautifully tonight, she truly will be the next big thing on the Bombshell roster... Mark my words, 2021 will be Courtney's year.

Sam gets back to her feet, partly because Courtney is yanking her back up via her hair. Court hooks her arms around Sam's waist looking for a suplex but Sam doubles over and hooks onto Courtney's head and slams her down with a high toss. Courtney skids across the ring, she gets back up and rushes towards Sam annoyed her plan didn't play out but she runs right into a swift chick kick from Sam. Courtney hits the deck and Sam rushes over to cover her.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Courtney gets the shoulder up, saving herself.

Adams: Another close call.

Simone: Neither girl wants to lose.

Adams: Well that's the aim of this sport Belinda, duh!

Courtney and Sam both get back to their feet Courtney comes out swinging as she sweeps the legs out from under Sam. While Sam is down she connects with a leg drop, before she gets back up to her feet rushes towards the ropes using it as a springboard to come crashing back in with a body splash. Courtney rolls Sam up in a small package type pin fall hoping the change of position will keep Sam down for the win.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Sam fires out of the pin. The fans in attendance go crazy for their favourite.

Adams: Come on Court!!!

Simone: I thought you were team Sam?

Adams: I'm on the team of whoever wins.

The girls get back to their feet and they start to scrap in the middle of the ring, getting sick and tired of all the tit for tat. Courtney kicks the right leg right out from underneath Sam and goes for a snap DDT.

Adams: Scrambled!!! Sam has been Scrambled!

Courtney rolls her over and hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Sam somehow kicks out and Courtney is beside herself. She gets back to her feet, dragging Sam up with her but Sam has other ideas as she takes Courtney by surprise with a sit out jawbreaker. She lifts Courtney back up, twirls her around and slams her down with a perfect Killswitch.

Adams: Samwich Press!!!

Sam hooks the leg and Jasmine makes the count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner Sam Marrrlllooowwwe!!

Sam celebrates in the ring by getting her hand raised in victory.




A camera moves along a hallway where it is starting to get darker. Suddenly a bright light flashes blinding the cameraman. Suddenly a figure steps into the light, silhouetted in the brightness. Suddenly the sound of boot heels hitting concrete moves the figure closer and features can start to be seen. Vixen now appears dressed in a pair of dark tights, a crimson red leather jacket over a NXT tee with strategic cuts.

Vixen: Sin City Wrestling...long time no see...sorta

She looks around as her hands move to slide into the jacket pockets.

Vixen: For the last little while I have been in Underground proving that I have not lost a step when it comes to wrestling. As a matter of fact, I have proved to many that I have gotten better.

She smiles as she tosses her hair over a shoulder.

Vixen: The questions have been raised. People are talking about how I am wasted in Underground. I have not been wasted but you know, there is a little seed inside that has been germinating. Adding its voice to all those questions. Has me wondering myself. What would it take to come home? Honestly, I have to ask myself that question and believe me knowing the answer would just make many people smile. See, if I were to come home...and yes, Sin City Wrestling has always been my home...away from my home with Spike and the kids...there are only a couple of 'I's' to dot and tees to cross. So here is the I...

She looks directly into the camera and a small smile begins to curl on her lips.

Vixen: I need challenge and trust me, watching the caliber of talent you have right now, that just might be something that I will get should I come back. But there is still that tee...

Vixen looks down at her shoulder as her hands leave the pockets and rub against her waist.

Vixen: I seem to have an empty shoulder and waist. So...to come back home...I will want something to put on my waist or shoulder. Something that will fill out that one last piece of the Grandslam that I never was given the chance for because it didn't come into existence when I first became grandslam champion. That is an error that needs to be corrected before I come back. Give me my chance at the Internet title and who knows...that return could be sooner than later.

A soft chuckle escapes the woman as she once more slides her hands in her pockets. She turns to walk away, stops and looks back.

Vixen: I have answered some questions for you SCW...the ball is in your court. What kind of answers do you have for me hmmm?

Vixen once more turns and heads into the bright light that blinks out suddenly sending the area into darkness.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes X where we see Caleb Storms standing by for an interview with Pussy Willow ahead of his match against "Wildfire" Tommy McMaster.

Pussy: Caleb, coming up next you are taking on the debuting Tommy McMaster who answered the open challenge you issued on the last episode of Climax Control, are you worried about facing him.

Caleb: If it were anyone else then yeah, I would be nervous, but this generically nicknamed newcomer is in a rude welcome when I beat him tonight!

Pussy: Now as I said, this match was made via an open challenge, is there anyone your glad didn't answer the challenge?

Caleb: Just one guy and last I checked, he's in Iceland!

Pussy: Fenris?

Caleb spins around thinking that Fenris is behind him but sees no one.

Caleb: I'm going to go win my match now!

Caleb quickly walks off as the scene fades.




The crowd scans the ringside area when it picks up a familiar face...

Simone: Well look who it is!

Former SCW Bombshell Internet Champion, Devona, is right there in front row for High Stakes X! She is joined by her two best friends and "brothers," the tandem Beauty and Beast! The crowd around them cheers as the trio smile and wave to the camera, each one sporting a High Stakes X shirt (Beast's looks about ready to burst at the seams)!




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

The opening chords of "Burn It Up" by Saliva begin to echo throughout the arena as The Wildfire, in his black and red robe, his hood over his head bows to the ramp.

He lifts his hood, looks left to right and then strides down to the ring, savouring the arena, staring directly at his opponent in the ring.

He will point to the crowd and give them a hokey thumbs down as he rips his robe off and throws it full force at the referee.

Justin Decent: he stands 6 foot 10, weighing in at 234pounds, from Seattle Washington he is the wildfire Tommy McMaster

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

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

Caleb makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as he makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring and throwing up the metal horns as he waits for the match to start

DING DING DING!

The bell rings and both men look each other down from across the ring, Tommy McMaster towering over Caleb by a good 8 inches. They go for a collar and elbow tire, this is a mistake by Caleb has Tommy uses his height and weight advantage to plant his back foot bring Kate look forward and then throw him backwards across the ring. Caleb looks up and then gets to his feet as Tommy seems to just smile. He tells Caleb to come on and Caleb gets to his feet and again goes for another colour and elbow tire, again Tommy throws Caleb back across the ring and Caleb lands hard and rolls over his shoulder back to one Me has Tommy just moves around the ring with a smile on his face arrogantly pacing back and forth.

Adams: Well that was an inauspicious start by Caleb there, you can't fault him when it comes to his heart but sometimes Caleb make stupid decisions like trying to stand in front of a guy so much bigger and stronger than him.

Simone: anything that happens to Caleb Storms is his own damn fault. He threw out an open challenge and when you do that you have no idea who is going to except so we have Tommy McMaster who is the guy who made his name in WWH and continues to be a force in the professional wrestling world.

Adams: if Caleb has any hope of actually succeeding in this, he needs to use that blistering speed, he needs to stick and move and go to the air because Tommy is going to beat the crap out of him if he tries to stay in front of him and actually wrestle.

And just like that Caleb seems to hear everything that Jason Adams said, he goes towards Tommy but as Tommy goes for another colour and elbow tie up Caleb ducks under it and then jumps in the air hitting a dropkick right to the back of Tommy McMaster between his shoulder blades, Tommy stumbles forward and against the ropes, he stands there for a moment but then slowly turns around looking angry that Caleb was able to get one over on him. Tommy lunges forward and goes for a clothesline, Caleb is able to duck out and hit the ropes before leaping in the air with a jumping calf kick hitting Tommy right in the side of the head making him stumble backwards into the ropes again but still not going down. Caleb Pops to his feet and starts to pepper Tommy with left jabs and then a hard right that since Tommy into the corner

Caleb runs in and jumps are putting his feet on Tommy's thighs before pulling him down going for a monkey flip, Tommy those stops the momentum pulling Caleb back up and then turning to get Caleb onto his shoulders in a Firemans Carry position, Tommy goes to spin Caleb into a version of a cutter, Caleb though spins his body around in midair and lands on his feet in front of Tommy he grabs his shoulders and jumps up going for a hurricane runner but Tommy again shows his impressive strength pulling Caleb back up and over his shoulder into a crucifix position before dropping Caleb straight down on the back of his head and his shoulders with a razors edge

Simone: Tommy McMaster showing us that power, I mean the guy 6 foot 10.

Adams: Caleb is not a small man he is 6 foot two and has a great reach, he is also incredibly athletic but you are right Tommy McMaster is an absolute powerhouse.

Tommy moves around Caleb as Caleb tries to struggle to get to his feet, Tommy measures him up and as Caleb grabs the bottom right and starts to pull himself up Tommy get set, Caleb turns around and told me absolutely blast him with a running big boot, Caleb goes down hard and Tommy then drops down hooking his leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Caleb kicks out. Tommy grabs Caleb by the hair and starts to get him to his feet, he hooks his arm over Caleb's head and gets him into a suplex position lifting him straight up in the air, he holds Caleb up there for a time and then hold him with one arm putting his arm out to the crowd in an arrogant display of power, Tommy then throws his body back bringing Caleb down crashing him to the mat. Tommy though doesn't seem to be done as he rolled his hips and gets to his feet holding Caleb again, but he grabs Caleb by the wrist and spins around getting behind Caleb, he then lift Caleb up and throws him backwards with a German Suplex, he rolls over and pulls Caleb up hitting a second German, and then a third this time releasing Caleb causing him to crash right on the top of his head.

Simone: That transition was smooth, Tommy McMaster is more than just a powerhouse he doesn't know how to transition well from move to move. He is impressing a lot of people right now

Adams: Yeah but this seems to be Caleb's thing, he gets beaten up and beaten down and then at the last moment pull something out of his butt and wins the match you watch I can foresee this happening.

Tommy runs his thumb across his throat, the universal sign of something ending, he pulls Caleb up and walks his arm over he is looking like he's going for the backdraft, But as he goes to lift Caleb up, Caleb throws his arm out to the side elbowing Tommy in the side of the head, he does it again and again until Tommy let him go, Caleb hits the ropes and gets up a large amount of momentum throwing his body into Tommy with a spear, this takes Tommy down as he holds his ribs, Caleb pops up and springboards of the middle rope going from the insult, he lands on Tommy and hooks Tommy's leg

ONE!

TWO!

Tommy powers out by sitting up holding Caleb in his arms, Tommy then struggles to get his feet holding Caleb across his chest before hitting a fall away slam sending Caleb across the ring, has Tommy get up there he goes for yet another big boot but Caleb is able to see it coming and he grabs the top rope, Tommy's leg goes flying over the top of the Rope and then he falls from the ring onto the apron to the floor, Caleb pops to his feet again it's the opposite right and then throws his body through the top and middle road with a suicide dive onto Tommy throwing him back into the barricade, Caleb spins and slides back into the ring getting up even more momentum to hit yet a second suicide dive!

Simone: here we go Caleb is getting some momentum up and he's keeping himself away from Tommy, he's sticking and moving which is exactly what he needed to do

Adams: Caleb storms is at his best when he's flying around the ring off the calf and not actually thinking about what he's doing, he's a very instinctive wrestler and it's about time he embraced that

Caleb goes for another suicide dive, but Tommy who now realises what is going on uncorks a beautiful right-hand connecting with Caleb's head as he's coming through the ropes. Caleb dangles in between the top and middle ropes before falling back inside the ring, Tommy jumps up onto the apron and follows in stalking Caleb. He pulls Caleb straight up and looks like he is going for the crematorium, he lift Caleb up in the vertical Superflex position but before he can spin him around finishing the jackhammer, Caleb kicks his legs forward and flips over Tommys back landing on his feet behind him, he drops down hooks Tommy by the leg and rolls him up!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner.... Caleb Storms!

Simone: CALEB DID IT!

Adams: GIVE ME A LOTTERY TICKET CAUSE I CALLED IT

Simone: and Tommy McMaster is not happy at all

Caleb rolls from the ring as test your metal hits again leaving Tommy furious in the ring.




Another award that means the most because it comes from your fed peers!

For the first time ever, an award has a three-way tie and it comes as no surprise given just who won. First, a member who has been with us since day one, and pulls double duty as not just a roleplayer, but also week in and week out, is one of our most dedicated match writers. Congratulations to first-time winner Dave!

The next two tie-winners have each won this award before, and they do so again because they mean just that much to not just SCW, but the members of SCW as well.

Mark has always been the backbone of the fed, putting his social life on hold each and every week to write roleplays and a match here and there, but mostly every Sunday when he sits in front of his computer for hours on end to gather everything sent in and put results together. Mark is pure dedication, and the heart and soul behind SCW as he is the one our members feel most comfortable going to when in need.

And what more can be said about our "graphics goddess" Annie that has not been said already? This lady does so much for SCW, that it boggles the imagination. Every week she writes roleplays and picks up a match or two to write for results on top of that. She ALSO handles all fed graphics for results, makes banners for our members when requested AND sometimes graphics for SCW's "merchandise" on top of so much more!

All three of these fed personalities deserve this award for all of their hard work and determination each and every week!




In the middle of Caleb talking, Katie glances past him and her eyes widen. They grow B-I-G! She places her hand on his arm...

Katie: Caleb...?

But Caleb continues to talk, and she grabs his shoulder, shaking him!

Katie: Caleb!

Caleb: What!?

Her grip tight on his shoulder, she forcibly turns him around -- AND HE FINDS HIMSELF FACE-TO-FACE WITH FENRIS! The crowd watching EXPLODES with cheers!

Adams: OH MY GOD! FENRIS! Fenris is back!

Simone: The former World Champion Fenris is here at High Stakes X!!!

Caleb: F.........F.......... Fenris?!

Fenris, dressed in a referee's shirt with open sleeves and black shorts, and white sandals, stares at Caleb with a slight smile until he reaches up and pats his cheek -- then turns aside and walks off-camera.

Caleb: Why didn't you say he was there sooner?

Katie: I tried but you weren't listening!

Caleb quickly walks off as the scene fades.




Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled as a Last Man Standing Match and is for the SCU Combat Championship!

Andrew Borg's music plays as he walks down toward the ring.

Darlyn: First, from Tulsa, OK, standing at 6'6" and weighing in at 275lb, he is... Andrew Borg!!!

Andrew slides inside of the ring and nods his head at Kris, who looks smugly at him, shaking his head as he turns to laugh. Borg gets in the corner and waits for his opponent.

The lights in the arena go out and Eyesnsane in his wrestling gear steps through the curtain and onto the stage.

Darlyn: On his way to the ring, from Chicago, IL standing at 6'2" and weighing in at 230lb, he is... Eyesnsane!!!

Once he is in place the music starts and at the 15 second mark of the song as the arena hears, "Here I am" a blue spot light shines on Eyesnsane as he looks slowly to the left and then to the right before slowly walking down to the ring where he uses the steps to get on the ring apron and then climbs in the ring between the second and top rope. He walks to the center of the ring and turns and looks throughout the entire arena as the music plays before the lights return to normal.

Gena: Eyesnsane is able to pull him back to the middle of the ring! Andrew slaps the mat once, and the ref looks like he's about to call for the bell, but Andrew shouts out.

Andrew: No! You can't!

Chad: Eyesnsane moves from side to side, holding his gloves together so that no shots connect with his face. Andrew steps back and roars out.

Andrew: Come on, Eyesnsane! YOU... CAN... DO...

Gena: And just like that, Eyesnsane comes out of the corner and throws an overhand to the top of Andrew's head. This scatters his brain enough that Eyesnsane is able to get a right hook to the face.

Chad: Eyesnsane throws a left hook, but Andrew blocks it. He gets in a cheap shot to the gut, and Eyesnsane falls back a few paces. Andrew begins throwing hits, looking a bit unorthodox.

Gena: With the lack of training Andrew has, Eyesnsane is easily able to knock his hands away after a few hits. He begins throwing jabs that get Andrew to back up again.

Eyesnsane gets back up and holds up his title as "Get Me" plays over the speakers. He looks down at Andrew Borg and he gives a kick to his arm to make sure he's still down. He walks around the ring, holding the belt up as he champions himself just as much as the belt.




This award remains one of our favorites and believe it to be the most prestigious because it comes from the winner's peers and speaks volumes to their skill in writing engaging role plays that pull us into another world of infinite possibilities. And it is with great pleasure that Jeremy aka Roxi Johnson/Jack Washington walks away as the winner this year. It's easy to see why, because on one hand you feel as if you're reading a genuine superhero comic book with that human flair, or delving into the life of a young upstart with a complex life ahead of him. With Roxi, Jeremy has crafted a Hall of Famer and Jack? If he keeps this up, there's little doubt one day Jack Washington will be there as well.




Bea Barnhart is seen walking around the hallways in the backstage area. She is already in her wrestling attire and the look on her face shows she is ready for her Mixed Tag Team Championship match . Bea notices the cameraman focused on her so she launches into comments.

Bea: Mikah there hasn't been a single Bombshell on Sin City Wrestling's Roster to have an easy win over me. All my opponents have had a very difficult time defeating me. Yes some did get a win over me but after the match was over I could hear them release a sigh of relief knowing they got lucky in defeating me. You know that feeling well Mikah. I've given you hell in the ring and you cannot deny that. You know from our previous match that I had you backpedaling and ducking for cover a hell of a lot during that match. I've never denied that you got the win for Black Sheep by pinning me. Everyone in the sport of wrestling gets pinned for a loss so nobody has immunity to that.

Bea continue walking around the hallways while the cameraman remains focused on her.

Bea: Mikah for your sake I hope you are not the legal wrestler in the ring when our team wins as that means I will have pinned you, or made you submit, or knocked you out, and if that happens Kris will be on you again condemning you like he did to you many times before. It sucks being in a Mixed Tag Team where your partner doesn't have respect for you and doesn't trust you wrestling abilities. I'm the fortunate one having Bill on my team and he's supporting of my wrestling career.

Bea has walked around and ended up back at her dressing room door. She opens the door and comments before stepping into the dressing room.

Bea: Mikah you need to hope it is Bill who defeats Kris for our win for the Mixed Tag Team Championship. That way you can demean and insult him for the loss instead of him demeaning you again. Sure hope you're ready for our match because I'm damn sure ready!

Bea steps into the dressing room and the cameraman enters with her as he is also assigned to air Bill's comments.

Bill Barnhart is inside his dressing room with Iris and when he hears the dressing room door open and Bea walks in after finishing her comments on their match he greets her with a hug and a kiss. The cameraman informs Bill he is assigned to air his match comments and Bill begins his comments while Bea goes into the other room to get something to eat and drink.

Bill: I assume you comments on our match went well?

Bea: Yes.

Bill: Well, Kris, we meet again. Remember the first time we met this year? I knocked your sorry ass out with my Sweet Dreams Sleeper Hold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you tried to talk your way out of that loss too. You claimed that I never defeated you in that match. You claimed you were not prepared, not well trained, and took me lightly, so you actually defeated yourself and that equates into the fact that I didn't defeat you. Nice try Kris. Knocking your pathetic ass out with my Sweet Dreams Sleeper Hold was a decisive victory and proved my dominance over you.

Bea returns from the other room with food and drinks for her and Iris.

Bill: Where's my food and drink?

Bea: You're busy with presenting comments for our match but I'm done and Iris isn't presenting comments for the match, so you'll get food and drink once you are done with your comments.

Bill: Damn! So, Kris, since you spend a lot of time talking down Mikah do you really want to get away from me so badly during the match that you will tag Mikah into the match so you can get away from me? If I had a partner who I insulted and demeaned the last thing I would want to do it tag them into the match as they would be likely to not support our team like they should. But, Kris, if you are that scared of me that you have to run away and tag Mikah into the match so be it. Bea is more than ready, willing, and capable, to defeat Mikah for the Championship. What's it gonna be this time Kris? Stand up like a man and face me or tag your partner in and let her take the loss at the hands of Bea?

Bill glances over and sees Bea and Iris enjoying their food and drinks and Bill wants come of that also.

Bill: I'm closing my comments on our match now. Just be ready to lose as our team is ready to win. Once we obtain the Mixed Tag Team Championship we will work extremely hard to retain the Championship longer than any other team has done. A review of the list of Mixed Tag Team Champions indicates the longest reigns to date are about five months. Holding the Mixed Tag Team Championship for more than five months will be easy for us. Now I'm ready for my food and drink.

Bill is done with his comments and he turns to Bea and Iris and joins them with the food and drink. The cameraman slowly backs out of their dressing room and once he is in the hallway he cuts his camera feed.




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the World Mixed Tag Team Championship!

The crowd cheers!

"Downtown" strikes up as orange and grey lights float around the arena. Char and Vector step through the curtains as the crowd is going crazy. They walk down the ramp discussing strategies while high-fiving the audience members. Char slides into the ring as Vector steps through the ropes. They pose for the crowd before stepping into the corner.

Justin: Introducing the challengers! The team of Bea and "Bulldog" Bill -- The Barnharts!!!

Simone: The last time these four met, the Barnharts left the champions lying unconscious! Now we are going to see the the Barnharts can take it one step further and walk away with the gold!

Justin: And their opponents...!

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

Justin: Coming down to the ring, they are the World Mixed Tag Team Champions! Mikah and "The Miracle" Kristopher Ryans! The Black Sheep!

Both of them stop at the center of the stage, Mikah putting her back to Kris before rolling her hips and whipping her hair over her left shoulder. The cameras move up the ramp, rotating around behind the duo to see the word "MIRACLE" across the back of Kris' jacket. They make their way down the ramp, mostly ignoring everyone reaching out to them, and talking back and forth to one another. Once they reach the bottom of the ramp Kris takes a running start and slides under the bottom rope and into the ring. Mikah, on the other hand, jogs up the ringside stairs before strutting two steps onto the apron. Kris pops up to his feet and comes to the ropes near Mikah, sitting down on the middle rope to lower it. The fans boo as Mikah shakes her head at first, only to reconsider it. She steps over the middle rope, dipping her upper body lower than her lower body to make her butt stick out a bit in front of him. As soon as she is into the ring, Kris sprints across the ring and leaps up onto the middle rope of the far corner and sits down on the top turnbuckle while they wait for the match to get underway while holding their championship titles tightly against themselves.

Adams: If looks could kill, the Barnharts would be six feet under!

Simone: The champions have only themselves to blame for what happened to them. They ran their mouths one time too many and this time, to the wrong team.

Dawn Barnes is standing in the center of the ring as she holds the SCW Mixed Tag Team wrestling championships. The Black Sheep are standing in their corners while discussing their strategy while the Barnharts are talking over their strategy. Dawn walks the belts over toward the timekeeper as she hands them over. Dawn walks back toward the center of the ring as she asks both teams if they were ready to begin. The Barnharts are still discussing when the Black Sheep nod their heads. Dawn motions for the timekeeper.

DING DING DING!

Once the bell sounds, Kris comes flying across the ring as Bill pushes his wife out of the way. Kris smashes right into Bill with a crossbody. Bill leans against the turnbuckle as Kris follows it up with a rope aided enziguri. Bill slumps down as his wife rolls out of the ring and is standing on the ring apron. Kris bounces on the ropes for a few minutes before striking with a dropkick right into the midsection of Bill. Kris rolls backward onto his feet while bowing at Bill. Kris grabs a hold of Bill's ankles, pulls him up and then drops him straight down with a powerbomb. Kris starts stomping the hell out of Bill. He runs toward the ropes but as he bounces off them, Bill drops down in front of him. Kris steps over him as he runs toward the backside. As he rebounds off the ropes, Bill catches him in a strong bearhug before tossing him overhead with a belly to belly suplex.

Kris lands awkwardly on his right hip as Bill gets back up to his feet. Kris is slowly getting up as Bill comes charging at him and plows his shoulder directly into Kris's chest. Bill picks Kris up by his head and then whips him across the ring. Kris rebounds off the rope as Bill catches him with a stiff clothesline. Bill looks down at Kris before picking up one arm before slamming it back down into the canvas. Bill continues to work over his arm with repeated slams of it into the canvas. Bill is gloating as his wife is clapping her hands. Kris is holding his arm as Bill grabs a hold of the arm and yanks him up to his feet.

Simone: Kris didn't waste any time getting the action started.

Adams: Yeah and now Bill is going to show his prowess in the ring.

Bill has a tight grip on Kris' arm as he slams fist after fist into the limb. He then twists the arm over his head while dropping it down onto his shoulder repeatedly. Bill then uses the arm as a lever as he hoists Kris high up in the air before dropping him stomach first over his knee. Kris is trying to get his breath back as Bill pulls him back up to his feet. Bill slams his forearm right into the face of Kris before hooking him in a front facelock. He then raises one hand up into the air before dropping backwards and spiking Kris's face into the canvas. Bill shoots the half and grinds his forearm across Kris' face while lying across his chest. Dawn Barnes slides into position.

ONE!

Tw.....

Kris rolls his shoulder up as Bill looks at Dawn. He growls a bit before picking Kris up and dropping back first across his knee. Mikah is showing a little concern as Bill gets up to his feet. Bea motions toward her husband while holding her hand out. Bill smiles as he smacks her hand. Bea steps into the ring as Dawn acknowledges the tag. Mikah is still trying to get Kris's attention as Bea comes running across the ring. Bea grabs a hold of Mikah and tosses her into the ring. Mikah stands right back up to her feet as Bea comes right at her with a clothesline. Mikah falls backward as Bea bounces off the ropes and catches Mikah with a step up enziguri. Mikah hangs her head as Bea pulls Mikah into a front facelock.

Bea slams a few forearms into the back before draping her arm over and hooking a handful of her tights. Bea then shoots her hips while slamming Mikah down with a snap suplex. Mikah shoots up a little while bowing her back out. Bea sees this as she drives her knee directly into the small of Mikah's back. Bea continues to drive her knee into the back before posting in the back and wraps her hands around the neck of Mikah. Bea pulls back while yammering into Mikah's ear.

Simone: I don't know what is worse. Mikah in this hold or having Bea screaming in her ears.

Bea continues to apply the pressure as Mikah is trying to fight out of it. Bea slips up and hooks Mikah with a fish hook as Dawn orders her to stop. Bea shakes her head as she pushes her knee further into Mikah's spine. Dawn is ordering her to stop with the fish hooks. Bea stands up to her feet and pulls Mikah up as well. Bea keeps her hands wrapped around Mikah's neck before using both of her knees to hit a backstabber.

Mikah is holding her back as Bea is patting her back with a smirk. Bea then bounces off the ropes as Mikah drops down in front of her. Bea jumps over her as she bounces off the farside of the ropes. As she rebounds off the ropes, Mikah catches her with a spinning heel kick. The left heel catches Bea under the chin as Mikah takes a few minutes to collect her thoughts as Bea is slowly getting up to her feet. She is holding her jaw as Mikah catches her with a stiff forearm shot. The shot rocks Bea as she stumbles backward. Mikah continues to strike Bea with multiple forearm shots before tossing Bea across the ring with a handful of hair.

Bea slowly gets back up to her feet as Bill tags himself back into the match. Bea slides down and rolls out of the ring as Bill enters the ring. Mikah sees him as she shakes her head. He slowly makes his way toward her as Kris is standing on the apron behind her. Mikah drops down as Kris springs off the ropes and connects with a knee to Bill's face. Bill is holding his face as Kris follows it up with a running to the side of Bill's head. Kris mounts Bill and starts dropping multiple right hands followed by forearm shots. Kris stands back up before slamming his right foot across the sternum.

Kris stands to the side of Bill and looks down at him. He turns around before hitting a standing moonsault. Kris rocks back onto his knees as he lies back across Bill's stomach. Dawn Barnes slides into position as Kris hooks Bill's leg.

ONE!

Th.....

Bill forces his shoulder up as Kris is shaking his head. Kris stands up to his feet as he goes toward the ropes. Kris rebounds off the ropes as Bill once again quickly catches Kris in a bearhug but Kris counters with a couple of right hands. Bea is still down on the apron as Kris rakes the eyes of Bill. Bill immediately drops Kris while trying to regain his vision.

Simone: Kris is using the same tactic that Bill and his wife usually uses.

Bill continues to stagger across the ring as Kris strikes with a kick to Bill's leg. Bill continues to stagger as Bea has finally got back up to her feet. Bill unknowingly tags his wife back into the ring as she looks shocked. Bill rolls out of the ring while leaning against the ring.

Bea gets back into the ring while looking down at her husband with concern. Unbeknownst to her, Mikah has gotten back into the ring. Kris smiles as he bounces off the ropes before vaulting over the ropes and catching Bill with a crossbody.

Simone: Oh my God!!!!

Adams: Mikah is measuring Bea for something.

Bea steps out of her corner but as she turns around Mikah bursts out of the corner and connects with a single leg dropkick.

Dawn signals for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners and still the SCW Mixed Tag Champions....The Black Sheep

The Black Sheep are celebrating while Bill slides into the ring and checks on Bea.

Simone: The Black Sheep have done it again.

Adams: Who will stop them!!!



Love or hate him, it is impossible to argue against the success that O'Malley has enjoyed ever since his return to SCW. Some might say the earliest was due to Darcy's influence before O'Malley took a stand against her interference, but inside of the ring, the man has been a beast! Besides an all-too brief reign as the Underground Champion, O'Malley pulled double duty and had an impressive reign as the Roulette Champion. This is just another testament to the level of talent that the GO Gym puts out, and one has to wonder what level O'Malley would be at right now had he not taken that extensive leave before his time in 2018. And one wonders where he will stand at this time in `21!




Backstage, Joanna Krieger can be seen walking towards Rocky Mountains who is standing with Char Kwan in front of the giant roulette wheel. She smirks at Char who glares right back at her. Rocky reaches up and then grabbing the wheel sends it spinning. The two bombshells watch as the wheel spins before it begins to slow down. Joanna gasps as it is about to hit pillow fight but she kicks out at the wheel that sends it to a chaingang handcuffs match.

Adams: We almost had ourselves a pillow fight Belinda. That is something that we haven't seen before here in Sin City Wrestling.

Simone: Our bombshells aren't that kind of wrestlers. They are known as real wrestlers, not eye candy Jason so I don't know why they even have those options on the wheel.

The camera cuts to Justin who brings the microphone to his lips after climbing into the ring.




Justin:The following match is a chaingang handcuff match...Introducing first...

The arena goes dark as red strobe lights begin to shine. A Japanese Flag appears on the screen as "Whistle" suddenly begins to play over the sound system. A big man steps out from behind the curtain followed by two women. The crowd seems confused as he steps to the side and Char Kwan takes center stage with her hair in a large braid. Her eyes are narrowed towards the ring while completely ignoring the crowd altogether.

Justin: Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Mr. Chalmers and Kiara, from Walnut Creek, California by way of Kyoto, Japan. She is the self proclaimed "Japanese Siren" Char Kwan!

Simone: Char Kwan getting the title chance tonight.

Adams: I don't envy her stepping into the ring with Joanna Krieger because that woman is scary tough.

Char Kwan walks down the ramp with her entourage as the crowd is really letting her know how they feel about her. She ignores them while walking right up to the ring. She hops up onto the ring apron, waits for Mr. Chalmers before leaping over the ring ropes. She walks to the furthest corner, climbing onto the turnbuckles and holding up a Flag behind her that shows Japan on one side and South Korea on the other. She shouts profanity at the crowd in Japanese before hopping down and leaning against the turnbuckle. Mr. Chalmers takes the flag from Char while giving her more advice.

Cut Throat by Kittie hits as the lights in the arena go out and a single red spotlight appears on stage, in the center Johanna Krieger stands there with a black leather jacket over the top. She makes her way down to the ring as the spotlight follows her, she slides in the ring and crawls to the corner before staying on her knees with her arms back holding onto the middle rope as the house lights come up

Justin: From Nurenberg Germany...she is the current Bombshell Roulette title champion...Joanna Krieger!

Both women are in the ring glaring across at each other as Jacob Summers checks out both then takes the belt from Joanna and holds it up high.

Adams: I hope these women are ready because this match is going to be violent I am sure.

Simone: The objective of this match Jason is that both women will be handcuffed together with a set of chaingang cuffs that allows for some distance but could be used as a weapon. The winner is the one that taps all six corner turnbuckles.

Jacob Summers puts a cuff around the wrist of Char Kwan then moves towards Joanna with the other cuff but she snatches it out of his hand. Jacob turns to signal for the bell as Joanna slams the cuff shut on her wrist.

Simone: Here we go Jason!

DING DING DING!

Char charges across the ring with bad intentions as she slams a forearm against the head of Joanna, the metal of the chain and cuff hitting her across her mouth. Joanna rolls with the punch but straightens back up to reveal a bloody lip that she wipes away with a vicious smile. Char grabs the chain as she rushes towards a turnbuckle but is pulled up short by Joanna who plants her feet and pulls hard on the chain. Char yanks as her hand reaches out for the turnbuckle. Joanna rolls the chain around her fist as she continues to pull back on the chain preventing Kwan from tagging the first turnbuckle. Char angrily turns and kicks out at Joanna with a high round house kick. Joanna dodges it before she uses a spinning back elbow that rocks Char back slightly. Joanna follows the elbow up with a stiff forearm that drops Kwan to the mat. Mounting on the Japanese Siren, Joanna begins to slam her fist into the head of Kwan with hard shots that Char is trying to evade. Joanna gets to her feet and sees the turnbuckle nearby and walks to it and slams her hand hard on the turnbuckle which lights up a red light. Char gets to her feet and catching the chain, she wraps it around the throat of Joanna to pull her off her feet with a leg sweep. Char quickly takes advantage of the downed woman to match the tag with one of her own that lights up a green light.

Adams: We have our first set of tags on the turnbuckle, only five more to go.

Char turns back to Joanna and then picking her up, she begins to use muay thai knees and elbows to move the german across the ring. Joanna tries to cover up but Kwan isn't letting up. Joanna is backed against the ropes and is punished more. Char tags a second turnbuckle lighting up the green light. Turning to Joanna, she begins to use the chain like a whip across the back of Joanna who had turned to tag at the turnbuckle. Joanna's back arches in pain as her hand misses the turnbuckle. Char grabs a handful of hair and holding Joanna by the braid, she pulls her back to taunt her about the tagged turnbuckle before she rushes Joanna forward and then with a sneer, she slams her face first into the turnbuckle which lights up the red light to show that Joanna had tagged the corner. Char whips Joanna to the side and mounts her. Taking a handful of chain, she wraps it around the neck of Krieger who begins to kick and fight back, her hand preventing the chain from cutting off her air. Kwan continues to pull on the chain but doesn't see Krieger grab some of the loose chain and uses it to slam a fist against the head of Char sending her sideways. Krieger fights hard to unwrap the chain as Kwan shakes her head from the fist. Looking up at a heavily breathing Joanna, Char kips up and then wraps the chain around her arm

Simone: Both of these bombshells are going to be feeling this tomorrow.

Char pulls at the chain as she moves toward the third turnbuckle. Joanna manages to roll towards the ropes and leverages herself to the outside which pulls Kwan off her feet and to the mat. Joanna reaches in and using the chain, pulls Char to the apron where she begins to slam stiff forearms into the head and shoulders of Kwan. Char tries to evade the forearms but one final vicious forearm sends her to the floor. Joanna gets her to her feet and then rushes Char into the ringpost. Kwan spins around it violently and falls to the floor clutching her shoulder. Joanna rolls into the ring and then tugging the arm that is hurt, she pulls Char into the ring with the chain. Grasping the arm of Kwan, Joanna lays it on the top rope then kicks the legs out from under Char hanging her arm over the top rope. Kwan grabs at it as she screams in pain. The two bombshells are close to the third turnbuckle but Joanna clotheslines Char and tags it first. Kwan is on the apron and slow to rise but uses the top rope to leverage the chain and prevents Krieger from moving away from the turnbuckle. Char finally gets to her feet and moves towards the turnbuckle. Climbing it, she taps it with her foot as she launches herself at Krieger. Catching Joanna around the head, Kwan sends her to the mat with a hurricanrana. Char rolls through and slams a hand on the fourth turnbuckle.

Adams: It looks like Char has gotten turnbuckle number four and is on track to win tonight.

Simone: Don't count the champion out yet Jason. There are still two turnbuckles for Kwan. And in SCW that could mean anything goes.

Joanna rolls on the mat clutching at her head as she looks up at Char who is quickly trying to move to the fifth turnbuckle. Joanna gets to her feet slowly before tagging the turnbuckle herself while Char isn't looking. Char turns to see Joanna fighting towards the turnbuckle to tag her fifth. Neither bombshell is close enough to tag her turnbuckle so a tug of war begins between the two. Char is getting the better of the tugging war as she pulls the chain hand over hand closer. Krieger is in pain but then smiles viciously as she uses the momentum of Char's latest tug to take Kwan off her feet with hard roundhouse kick that sends Char to the mat. Joanna moves to grab the arm of Kwan that she was favoring and locks in an armbar that has Char screaming in pain. Jacob checks on Kwan who shakes her head no when asked if she submits. Rolling into the armbar, Kwan forces Krieger to the mat as she stands slightly, her foot reaching out to try and tag the turnbuckle. Joanna sees this and pulls Kwan downwards into a headbutt that stuns both women. Laying on the mat, both are breathing heavily trying to recover. Joanna is first to her hands and knees as Char lifts her legs up and kips up once more. She is close enough to the untagged turnbuckle, she swipes at it but misses. Joanna rises and using the head of Char, she tags the fifth turnbuckle then hits Kwan face first into the turnbuckle to light up her light too.

Simone: Both women have tagged five turnbuckles, the next one will win the Bombshell Roulette title.

Joanna shakes her head and then wraps the chain around the body of Char. Using the last little bit of the chain, she ties up the hands of Kwan who is screaming as she tries to fight off the german. Joanna reaches into her clothes and then pulls out a small item that she uses on the cuff around her wrist. Suddenly, her hand is free as she tugs Char towards a turnbuckle that is already lit up. With a sneer, she pushes Char into the corner and taking her hand, she handcuffs her to the turnbuckle. Kwan tugs and tries to fight off the turnbuckle but Joanna manages to close the metal cuff around the turnbuckle and mockingly moves in front of Char to taunt her. Slowly backing away from the struggling Kwan, Joanna holds her arms wide before turning and stepping up to the turnbuckle that isn't lit up. Jacob is trying to help Char but Joanna comes back to Kwan and tells Jacob to follow her as she moves across the ring and with a smirk, slams her hand on the final turnbuckle. Summers motions for the bell then moves across the ring to release Char from the turnbuckle. Joanna stands in the middle of the ring screaming at Jacob to hold her arm up in victory and hand her the title once more.

Adams: What a match Belinda. Joanna Krieger retains tonight but had to cheat to do it.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, and still the Bombshell Roulette champion...Joanna Krieger!

Joanna climbs the turnbuckle to hold her title up and taunt the fans at ringside.




In what proved to be a near clean sweep, Jack Washington is deemed by fans and peers alike as the Future Star of SCW. And one can hardly argue the point considering the young man is the current reigning World Heavyweight Champion! Jack became one of the fastest rising stars, first debuting in the 2020 Blast From the Past, then later signing on to SCW and immediately setting his sights on the top prize and ONLY the top prize. Many felt the rookie was biting off more than he could chew, but he quickly proved his critics wrong when just this past September, Jack dethroned ring gear Alex Jones to claim his self-proclaimed destiny. How could he NOT be named Future Star?




Pussy Willow can be seen rushing up to Sam Marlowe who is walking along the hallway backstage, tired but excited about the match win. She stops suddenly as Pussy puts a microphone right into her face.

Pussy Willow: Congrats Sam on the win earlier. I thought that Courtney Pierce had you beat there but once again you pulled out a win when you need to.

Sam Marlowe: Thanks Pussy. I have to give it to Courtney, she definitely made me work for it tonight but after that win, I definitely could see myself ready for the next challenge and speaking of...

Pussy Willow: I have been hearing you talk about a return of a sort to the Roulette division. Is that what you are talking about?

Sam Marlowe: I certainly am Pussy. I get that you don't automatically get a rematch contractually but I never had a chance to regain the title when I lost it and it has me wondering why. But I know that IF I got back to my winning ways I could earn my shot at it. And seeing that Joanna Krieger is holding it, it is time I step up and step back into the title hunt with the Roulette title. So the challenge is being lain down right now. Joanna if you are listening...I am coming for the Bombshell roulette title and you need to know that when I put my mind to something, I tend to succeed. So, are you a fighting champion or not? Consider this my challenge to you.

Pussy gives Sam a look of surprise.

Pussy Willow: Are you sure you know what you are doing Sam?

Sam Marlowe: I have never been more sure Pussy. The challenge is there, now all she has to do is accept.

Sam smiles and patting her friend on the shoulder, she moves off out of the camera's view before it goes back to ringside.

Adams: Sam Marlowe has issued a challenge to the Bombshell Roulette champion Joanna Krieger. I can't wait to see what the reply will be.

Simone: Neither can I Jason, neither can I.




Bobbie Dahl and Fenris are shown on a split screen, walking down the hallways of the Orleans Arena. They come around separate corners of the hall and find themselves face-to-face.

Together: What the hell are YOU doing here!?

Together: I asked first!

Together: No you didn't!

Together: I did too!

Together: Stop it!

Together: YOU stop it!

They both huff in disgust and turn and storm back the way they came!




Justin: This next match is classified as a Grudge Match due to a recent attack by Brother David Shepherd on O'Malley. First to make their way to the ring, from Dublin, Ireland, standing in at five feet eleven inches and weighing one hundred ninety-five pounds he is O'MALLEY!!!

The lights in the arena die down as the opening riffs of Gothic Celtic Music Shadow Wisps starts to play and the crowd erupts with chants and yelling but the reaction is in the middle between cheering and booing. 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. He is joined by lady companion, Darcy Donohue. 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. 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 removed O'Malley's coat, then leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek before making her way to the outside, as his music dies down.

Adams: After that brutal attack recently by Brother David Shepherd I'm pulling for O'Malley. I'm glad he has Darcy in her corner because there is no telling what Brother David is like to attempt in this match so having Darcy watching the action should help.

Simone: Should help to get her beat down in the process. Brother David is in this match to make a statement to out-do his statement during his recent attack on O'Malley.

Justin: Next to make their way to the ring, hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, standing in at six feet four inches and weighing two hundred forty-five pounds, he is BROTHER DAVID SHEPHERD!!!

The crowd gives a mostly negative reaction to the announcement of Brother David Shepherd. A white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Feel Invincible" by Skillet begins to play through the arena. The crowd boos and gets louder as David walks out onto the stage throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand, and he is also carrying a small black cloth bag, as he comes to the center of the stage. He walks down the aisle as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps before jumping up onto the apron. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and bounces off of the ropes multiple times with high, angry energy before settling into the corner opposite of O'Malley he slides the black bag under the bottom ropes but he keeps his Good Book in his hand.

Adams: Although I see Brother David with a five inch height advantage and a fifty pound weight advantage over O'Malley in most of O'Malley's matches the height and weight of his opponents were easily overcome by him.

Simone: But he hasn't had to deal with The Good Book which Brother David sometimes uses as a weapon.

Adams: Let him use it as a weapon and he will get disqualified as this is not listed as a Hardcore Rules match.

Referee Jasmine St. John calls both wrestlers to join her in the center of the ring. She checks both wrestlers for foreign objects and finds both of them clean. O'Malley asks the Referee to check The Good Book that Brother David has in his hands since he often uses it as a weapon and it might contain some sort of foreign object or substance. Referee St. John checks the Book front and back, up and down, and she flips through the pages, and she doesn't find anything indicating something suspicious. When O'Malley asks that she also check the black bag in the corner of Davis she replies that she already checked the Book and she is satisfied of the results of the check so he should be satisfied also. She orders both wrestlers to return to their corner and wait for the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start this match. Brother David returns to his corner and slides his Good Book under the ropes next to the mystery black bag. Once O'Malley gets to his corner. . ..

DING DING DING!

O'Malley is quick to come out of his corner but he stops in the center of the ring looking at Brother David who is standing in his corner and not moving to come out of the corner. Referee Jasmine St. John tells David to get into the action of the match and he tells her that he will take his time if he wants to. This upsets O'Malley but he holds back knowing that moving without calculating the possibilities could be detrimental.

Adams: Wise move on the part of O'Malley. I think Brother David is trying to lure him in to take advantage of him.

Simone: Why do you have to be so negative on Brother David? He hasn't done anything illegal or underhanded in this match.

Adams: . . . yet . . .

Brother David slowly comes out of his corner and walks to where O'Malley is standing. David stretches his arms out to the side to show he has no weapons, foreign objects, or anything else considered illegal. O'Malley is tired of the games Brother David is trying to play on him so he reaches out with both arms shoving David back several steps from the shove. David smiles and then he walks up to O'Malley and does the same to him. They start trading blows and while they are doing so we see Darcy walk around the ring to the corner of Brother David and she reaches up and grabs onto the black bag. Darcy is trying to open the bag but she is not able to figure out the technique needed to open it. Referee Jasmine St. John sees Darcy's actions so she walks over to the corner and orders Darcy to put the black bag belonging to Brother David back in the corner where she found it. Darcy is arguing with the Referee to try to get her to examine the black bag to make sure there are no weapons in the bag. Referee St. John reminds Darcy that she is the Referee and she doesn't like having wrestlers, managers, and valets telling her how to officiate a match. O'Malley and David stop trading blows and they focus on Darcy holding the black bag in her hand. Brother David runs over to the corner and jumps out of the ring confronting Darcy and forcibly taking his black bag away from her. Not one to allow someone to assault Darcy we watch as O'Malley exits the ring and gets in the face of Brother David while Darcy returns to her side of the ring.

Adams: Oh now this match is getting interesting.

Simone: Not sure which wrestler will come out being more interesting in this exchange on the outside of the ring but I'm waiting to find out.

To everyone's surprise Brother David turns away from O'Malley and quickly returns to the inside of the ring. O'Malley is wondering what is going on since Brother David didn't attack him. O'Malley climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron then he steps through the ropes to return inside the ring but Brother David charges O'Malley hammering him with hard blows while O'Malley is trying to step into the ring. Referee Jasmine St. John steps in front of David and orders him to stop the attack and wait for O'Malley to get fully inside the ring. Brother David protests but when Referee St. John threatens a disqualification for not following her commands, and that she is willing to issue a disqualification, this causes Shepherd to step back a bit to wait for O'Malley to get fully into the ring.

Adams: That was a cowardly cheap shot on the part of Brother David Shepherd for not allowing O'Malley to get into the ring first.

Simone: A wrestler always needs to take advantage of a situation when it presents itself.

With O'Malley fully inside the ring Referee St. John motions for the two to get back into the action. The two lock up and O'Malley who breaks the lock up and takes Brother David off his feet with a leg sweep. As soon as Brother David starts to get to his feet O'Malley places him in a DDT hold and drops Shepherd into the mat. Before O'Malley can get another hold on him Brother David rolls to the side of the ring and places his arm through the ropes causing Referee St. John to order O'Malley to stay back.

Adams: After what David did to O'Malley, by attacking him while he was trying to return inside the ring, if I was O'Malley I would attack Shepherd while he is in the ropes.

Simone: You previously condemned Brother David for attacking O'Malley while he was trying to get back into the ring but now you support O'Malley attacking Brother David while he is in the ropes!

Shepherd extracts himself from the ropes but he stays along on ropes while sliding along until he reaches his corner. He backs into the corner then turns so he is facing O'Malley. When O'Malley charges into the corner he hits David with a knee to the midsection then he follows it up with numerous hard forearm smashes. O'Malley flips Shepherd out of the corner but David is quick to get back on his feet and as soon as O'Malley turns to face him he gets hit with a hard shoulder block to the chest. Each manage to spin the other around to have them backed into the corner and both land effective blows each time they have the other backed into the corner.

Simone: Brother David needs to put an end to O'Malley quickly.

Adams: Why the urgency in your voice to end this match quickly? Are you worried that O'Malley cannot last much longer?

Simone: Oh, you know, I just want to see O'Malley put away that's all.

Adams: You are a strange person Belinda.

O'Malley gets the upper hand on Brother David and he is able to drive Shepherd to the mat in the corner. David is partially under the ropes and he complains to Referee St. John to get O'Malley to back off. Referee St. John steps between the two and orders O'Malley to back off but he argues with her and refuses to do so. Jasmine St. John gets in O'Malley's face and forces him to keep backing up until she is satisfied he is far enough back. While the Referee's back to to him we see Brother David Shepherd reach for his Good Book and the black bag. He opens the black bag and pulls out an object but we cannot clearly see what it is but it appears to be metal and heavy. He then opens The Good Book and places the object into a pocket made for this object then he closes the Book.

Adams: Referee St. John had her back to Brother David so she wasn't able to see him loading his Bible with a foreign object!

Simone: He didn't put anything into the book. You're hallucinating. He just opened The Good Book to read a passage then closed the book.

Referee St. John turns toward the corner and she sees Brother David standing in the corner holding his Good Book to his chest. She informs him if he uses it as a weapon she will issue a disqualification. Referee St. John steps to the side and motions for the wrestlers to continue the action. O'Malley runs into the corner pinning Shepherd in the corner. Brother David then yells out to Referee Jasmine St. John that Darcy is on the ring apron trying to get into the ring to interfere in the match. The instant the Referee turns around to see if Darcy is trying to get into the ring Brother David drops to the mat, lands a vicious low blow to the family jewels of O'Malley. When O'Malley drops to his knees Brother David swings his Good Book hard whacking O'Malley in the forehead causing him to drop nearly unconscious to the mat. Shepherd quickly slides the Book out of the ring where it slides off the ring apron to the arena floor. Referee St. John turns around to see Brother David going for a roll up pinfall so she quickly gets to them, drops to the mat, and begins the count.

ONE!

While Referee St. John is focused on the shoulders of O'Malley to ensure they are both on the mat she doesn't see Brother David grab onto the trunks of O'Malley and pull hard on them for more leverage.

TWO!

Adams: Nooooo!!!!! Brother David is cheating and the Referee doesn't see it!

Simone: That reminds me when my friend ran a red light while they were driving. I told them they ran a red light and they asked if a police car was chasing them. When I told them that there are no police chasing their car my friend said oh well that means the light wasn't red.

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Upon hearing the third count on the pinfall Brother David releases O'Malley and lets him go. David stands up and off to the side to wait for the official decision on the match. Darcy enters the ring and protests to Referee Jasmine St. John concerning the cheating by Brother David Shepherd including using his Good Book as a weapon. Referee St. John informs Darcy that she cannot call what she didn't see and she has to accept that.

Justin: The official decision of this match is your winner is, by pinfall, Brother David Shepherd!!!

The crowd boos loudly at the announcement and Referee St. John raising the hand of Brother David Shepherd for the victory. When she drops David's hand he quickly leaves the ring, retrieves his Good Book and black bag, and runs quickly to the backstage area. Back in the ring Darcy is helping O'Malley get to his feet. She informs him what she saw Brother David do and he questions Referee St. John and she gives the same response she gave Darcy. The two are disappointed at the loss and they exit the ring and head to the backstage area.

Adams: I'm sure O'Malley will be looking for a revenge match and I'm sure he will ask for a type of match where both wrestlers can do pretty much whatever they want.

Simone: After what happened in this match do you think O'Malley would ask for that?

Adams: Yes I do.




You don't get much more brass than this! Teddy Warren-Steele has often been the butt of jokes from fans and peers alike. From often taking a backseat to his wife, to his taking his wife's last name or even his very brief (thank god) drag queen gimmick. But the moment Teddy won the Internet title, he went even further when he proclaimed himself the next J2H - a Grand Slam winner who set a record as the longest reigning champion at over a year! Yeah - THAT J2H! Teddy, Teddy, Teddy! What were you thinking?




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

Pussy Willow: Mercedes, tonight you're facing Candy in a Glitter Bomb match. It's a match you've never been in before. What's your game plan heading into tonight?

The microphone moves towards Mercedes, who stifles a laugh at the question.

Mercedes: "Game plan?" What game plan? I don't need a game plan, I don't need any kind of strategy, PW, because to me this isn't anything different than the typical Roulette Rules match. I will say that this match is very unfair. Head-to-head, bell-to-bell, pound-for-pound, it's easy to see who is actually better and would win a fair fight.

Mercedes has an office envelope in her hand and she quickly opens it. She pulls out an 8x10 photo of Candy.

Mercedes: Look at this picture, PW, and then look at me. Seriously, look at this picture. Does this look like someone who's going to make it? Does this look like a future world champion? Someone who is going to be in main events? A Bombshell Hall of Famer in five years?

Mercedes gestures at the photo.

Mercedes: Look at Candy, and then look at me.

Mercedes points at herself as she now turns to the camera.

Mercedes: This here...this is what success looks like. This is what it looks like when you've made it. This is what it looks like when you're a bonafide legend, an integral piece in one of the top women's divisions in the wrestling world. Head-to-head, bell-to-bell, pound-for-pound, it's easy to see between Candy and I whose career will be remembered and who will be just another name who would be gone in two years.

Mercedes divides her attention between the camera and PW.

Mercedes: Look at her, and then look at me. This may be Candy's match, but High Stakes will be my night.

With that, Mercedes storms off from the interview and we head elsewhere.




In the ring, Drew Patton can be seen waiting for the match to be introduced.

Simone: Our next match is set to be and interesting match up for sure.

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

Adams: I have to agree Belinda and let's go to Justin for the introductions.

Justin:The following contest is a glitterbomb match...Introducing first...

The lights dim as pink fog starts to take over the entrance ramp. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard begins to play over the speakers as the lights brighten up. Pink pyro begins to cascade down from the tron as Candy comes bouncing out holding Fluffy. She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before getting in the ring and bouncing around some more.

Justin: From Malibu Beach...she is Candy!

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

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

Adams: The great SCW ring veteran, Mercedes Vargas will be stepping into a match no one has ever seen before.

Simone: Let's hope that she is ready for this match up or Mercedes will be colored glittery

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

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

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

DING DING DING!

Looking upward, Candy giggles as she claps happily that she has gotten her dream match. She looks over at Mercedes who is looking upward as well but shaking her head in disbelief. Candy moves towards Mercedes and can be seen mouthing the words 'good luck' which only angers Mercedes who lashes out with a right hand that rocks Candy to the side. The bubbly Candy's face drops as a hand moves to her cheek. Mercedes smirks as Candy attempts a clothesline. Ducking under the wild swing, Mercedes catches Candy by the hair and whips her into the corner. Candy stops herself and turns as Mercedes charges in but Candy explodes out of the corner with a flying clothesline after she had leapt to the middle turnbuckle. Both women are down on the mat as each rolls away from the other. Candy is first to her feet but Mercedes surprises her with a shoulder block to the midsection that drives her against the ropes clutching her midsection. Mercedes uses the time to slow rise and stalk towards Candy. Candy gets to the ropes, pulls herself towards the corner and sags against them but moves out of the way of the lunge of Mercedes. Candy stumbles to the middle of the ring where she turns to see Mercedes in the corner turning around. Rushing in, Candy leaps and hits a monkey flip on the veteran that sends her skidding into the middle of the ring.

Adams: Let's talk about this match Belinda. A glitter bomb match is...what I mean to say is that there are four hanging briefcases above the ring and I see no glitter at all.

Candy moves out of the ring and leans over to pull the ring apron up and pulls out a ladder slowly. Mercedes rolls over and watches as Candy lifts the ladder to the side of the ring. Getting to her feet, Vargas lunges at the ladder laying on the ring apron and hits a baseball slide against the steel ladder but Candy sees it coming and throws herself to the side to avoid the move. Mercedes sits up on the ring apron to pull herself up on the inside of the ring but Candy grabs her legs and yanks hard on them to pull Mercedes off the ring and back first onto the ladder. Vargas arches in pain as Candy pushes at her body to roll her off the ladder. With Mercedes on the floor in pain, Candy pushes the ladder into the ring and then sets it up inside under one of the brief cases. She begins the slow climb as Mercedes pulls herself into the ring. Candy watches in horror as Vargas stands before pushing the ladder closed on the fingers of Candy who screams in pain as she and the ladder fall backwards to the mat. Mercedes straddles the ladder and pins Candy under it. Drew won't make the count which angers Mercedes as she steps up to him. He explains that there will be no count. Enraged, she kicks out at the ladder as Candy pushes it off her body. Mercedes can be heard to curse as she grabs her foot. Candy rolls to the outside and picks up another ladder from under the ring.

Simone: Mercedes had this match won didn't she Jason?

Adams: Actually, the only way to win this match is to hit your opponent with a glitterbomb.

Simone: But I don't see any Jason.

Mercedes sets up the ladder in the ring and climbs. She ignores Candy who has slid her own ladder into the ring. Mercedes reaches the top and pulls down a briefcase. With an evil grin on her face, she sets it on the top of the ladder then struggles to open the case as Candy looks over before rushing to climb the back of the ladder and then grabs the head of Mercedes and slams it on the unopened case. Mercedes sways at the top of the ladder before falling to the mat. Arched in pain from landing back first on the mat, Mercedes looks up to see Candy open the case. Mercedes breaths a sigh of relief as Candy's face falls indicating the case is empty. Candy slams it shut then throws it to the mat narrowly missing the head of Vargas who rolls under the ladder. Rising up, Mercedes is able to close the ladder and push Candy to the ropes and over the top to the floor. Candy lays on the floor in pain as Mercedes looks at her then the ladder leaning on the ropes. Not going after Candy, Mercedes is able to climb the ladder slowly and take down another briefcase. Instead of opening it, she descends the ladder and standing on the canvas she is about to open the case but is stopped by a missile dropkick from Candy which sends the case careening towards the corner.

Simone: The second case is down but unopened. What will these two do??

Candy slowly gets to her feet looking around for the case before shrugging and setting up the ladder a third time. She climbs as Mercedes sets up her own ladder beside the one Candy is climbing. The two women begin to battle as they climb. Candy lands a hard right on Mercedes that rocks her slightly. Vargas returns the right with a left of her own that rocks Candy. The two continue to climb before straddling their ladders and each pulling down a case. Rather than open them, they begin to swing the cases at each other like weapons. Suddenly with a loud crack, the two cases smack together. The force of the impact has both women dropping the cases in pain. Looking down, each bombshell unstraddles the ladders and climb downward. Candy is first to the mat and manages to knock over the ladder that Mercedes is on but Vargas is low enough to avoid any damage from the attack. Candy is frustrated as she grabs a case but Vargas was quicker and levels Candy with her case. Candy is sprawled out on the canvas as Fluffy can be seen on the ring steps barking before grabbing the handle of a case to pull it out of the ring. Mercedes drops to her knees and then setting the case down on the canvas, she opens it to reveal an empty case. Angrily she tosses the case to the side and crawls towards the other case on the canvas.

Simone: Another empty case Jason. This match is not going the way these bombshells would want I am guessing.

Candy sees her crawling towards the case and makes her own way towards it. Mercedes is there first and grabs at the case to pull it towards herself. Rolling away from Candy, she makes her way to the corner and then stands to set the case on the turnbuckle and then reaches to the closures to open the case. Candy gets to her feet and moves towards Mercedes who is opening the case when she has her attention caught by Fluffy who is muffled barking around the handle of a case. Candy looks at Mercedes then moves towards Fluffy and with a smile and a kiss for her puppy, she takes the case and then pulls herself to her feet. She moves towards the opposite corner with the case. Mercedes violently opens the case in the corner where she is standing then tosses it angrily to the side where it spins its way out of the ring empty. Mercedes turns around and spies Candy in the opposite corner opening the last case. Mercedes rushes towards her as Candy's eyes light up as she holds up a rather large glitterbomb. Turning, she sees the charging Vargas and winding up, she launches the bomb at Mercedes hitting her directly in the face. Mercedes is sent to the mat violently wiping at her eyes full of glitter as Drew motions for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Candy!

Adams: Candy wins the match with a fastball right on the kisser of Mercedes Vargas.

Simone: Mercedes is blinded by the colors as Candy is celebrating in the ring.

Candy is jumping for joy as Fluffy scampers around her barking happily. Mercedes is joined by Drew Patton who is trying to help her remove the glitter as technicians are trying to clean the ring up. Mercedes rolls out of the ring and is helped up the aisle as Candy skips around the ring then follows her out to the sound of Candy's theme song blaring over the speakers.




What can you say when a single Bombshell earns the ire of pretty much the entire division? That was the end result when Bobbie Dahl attacked former friend Dani Weston and put her on the injured list, and all in the name of "just business." And the attacks did not stop there for Dahl, even going so far as to attack Odette Stevens, which turned out to be a huge mistake when Dahl made enemies out of every female graduate of the GO Gym as a result, both active and retired. Team Hero. The Go Gym. And many others. Bobbie had a very busy 2020!

What makes for a better/bitter rivalry than when a friendship goes sour? That was the catalyst for this Feud of the Year when Amber Ryans turned on her "friend" Roxi Johnson and ignited a bitter rivalry that has spanned THREE Supercard events! Nothing has been able to keep these two women separated and from tearing into one another. Their first match saw Amber gain the victory over the Hall of Famer at Summer XXXTreme VIII with No Disqualifications, but that was not enough! Roxi got a measure of revenge at Violent Conduct VI in Falls Count Anywhere! Now, the final (?) encounter to break the tie at High Stakes X: Last Woman Standing!




The camera moves backstage where we see Ben Jordan standing moments before his match. Ben looks calm but takes a deep breath and looks down the camera.

Ben: Alright people.

Ben winks.

Ben: You're all just minutes away on what could be wrestling history. In just a few minutes, I get to walk down that ramp and face one of the best pound for pound wrestlers, not just in SCW, but in the entire world when I come up against you Alex Jones.

Ben takes a deep breath.

Ben: Let me tell ya mate, I've been listening to the chatter this week and there's not a man, woman or child around who can confidently call which way this one's gonna go and that includes us. For all the tough talk, for the whole we're gonna win thing, no one knows for sure, but I'm gonna tell ya this for sure Alex, this match has meaning, this match is a match where we know the winner goes on to great things and this last week, I've felt that fire get lit in me once more, I've felt more and more up for this as the week has gone on. I've watched the action tonight, that crowd is white hot and it's driving me on to go and be the best version of me I could possibly be. It's pushing me to come out there and show the world that this fella ain't done yet, not by a long shot and there's no better way to do that then by beating the best.

Ben points at the camera.

Ben: That would be you Alex but I'm ready for ya, I'm ready for whatever this night brings, I'm ready to walk to that ring and do something that will be remembered for an eternity. Don't sit there and leave the sofa people because I'm telling ya straight up, this one right here will be a match of the year candidate without a shadow of a doubt.

Ben nods confidently.

Ben: Someone out there wanna hit some music?

Ben winks and walks away as his music can be heard starting in the background.




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

The opening guitar riff to "Blame it on the Boom Boom" by Black Stone Cherry starts to play. The riff repeats itself once more. A British flag appears on the screen, waving with a gray filter and the lyrics kick in.

The familiar face of Ben Jordan appears on the screen. The fans instantly burst in to cheers as a smiling Ben Jordan appears at the top of the ramp, dressed in a white shorts with matching knee pads and boots. Ben looks around the crowd, his trademark smile on his face. He turns his head to the left, winking at the crowd before slowly walking down the ramp. He moves to the left, running his hand along the fans, high fiving as many as possible, before moving to the right and doing the same. Ben stops in front of a fan with a phone and moves next to them, allowing them to take a selfie with the smiling Englishman.

Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From London, England, weighing 220 pounds -- Ben Jordan!

He stands outside the ring, looking up at ring, before moving to the steps and jumping up them. He ducks down and in to the ring through the middle and top rope and spins in to the corner, climbing on the top rope and raising his hands. He quickly jumps down and moves towards the center of the ring.

Adams: If you thought Ben was excited for this match, think of how the fans feel! Think of how *I* feel!

Simone: How we ALL feel, Jason! This match is between two of the very best! Two former World Champions, and two SCW Icons! THIS is the match that many feel will steal the show!

Justin: And his opponent...!

"Respect" by Devour the Day hits and as the lyrics of the intro cut into the guitar Alex steps out wearing a black and red "wolfslair" t-shirt and his wrestling gear.

Justin: From Dallas, Texas! he weighs 225 pounds -- Alex Jones!

He makes his way down to the ring with an arrogant sneer before leaping up onto the ring apron and calmly stepping through the ropes and inside of the ring.

Simone: Alex Jones coined it when he referred to his match with Ben Jordan here tonight! He called it a Dream Match!

Adams: And it is! These two have wanted to face each other for over a year! And it's finally happening here at High Stakes X!

Alex peels off his t-shirt and throws it outside of the ring as he and Ben stare each other down, the eager fire in both of their eyes. Dawn checks both men and calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Adams: I can't wait! Here we go!

Alex and Ben come out of their corners and Ben offers his hand as a gesture of sportsmanship, and Alex looks at him with a raised brow -- before he accepts and shakes the hand of his opponent. The crowd is pleased and applauds.

Simone: Alex Jones is a dastardly competitor but the man shows respect when it is deserved.

Now the two circle slowly, sizing each other up. They slow down and look to link hands but both pull away. They circle and Alex quickly goes to sweep at Ben's legs but Ben jumps back, avoiding it. Alex gets back to his feet and they circle again, but this time Alex spins Ben around and grabs him in a waist lock from behind. Ben tries to pry his hands apart but Alex holds him tight, then lifts him up and plants him face and chest first on the mat in an amateur take down, retaining the waist lock. Ben, however, rolls through and flips Alex over to the mat, breaking the hold and now Ben has Alex in an extended wrist lock on the mat.

Simone: Both of these men are incredibly skilled technical athletes. We are going to see a clinic.

Adams: Right before it all blows to heck and they end up putting each other in a clinic.

Alex quickly rolls through and ends up on his knees, grasping Ben in a front face lock on the mat! Ben forces his way back to a vertical base and twists free, first placing Alex in a hammerlock from behind, then he returns the favor from earlier and locks Alex in his own rear waist lock. Ben rolls him back to the mat and Alex rolls through and grabs Ben back into a front face lock and the two icons engaging in a constant switch of positions of Greco Roman mat wrestling, first one on top with the advantage, then the other! Until finally neither gains the upper hand and both are on their knees, staring at the other as the SCW Universe applauds!

Simone: Giving these fans exactly what they deserve!

Both men rise to their feet, ben smiling and Alex nodding; both respectful. They circle the ring again and finally engage in a lock up. Both men strain and push, trying to take the advantage over the other until slowly, Ben is able to leverage Alex back against the ropes. Ben is about to break clean as per referee Dawn Barnes' request when Alex grabs Ben and reverses their positions, and he now has Ben pinned in the corner and raising a fist!

Adams: See? Alex just can't resist!

Dawn asks for a clean break and Ben readies himself -- and Alex smiles and does indeed back away, breaking clean!

Simone: Can you believe it?

Adams: Not really, no.

Alex backs to the center of the ring as Ben emerges from the corner. The two men lock up again, and this time Ben takes hold of his arm and twists it into an extended wrist lock. Alex tries to find a counter but each time, ben wrenches the hold and holds him at bay. Ben then ducks under the hold and back drops Alex over to the mat, keeping the hold secure. That is, until Alex finds the counter by grabbing Ben into a head scissors! Alex then rolls to his side and props himself up on his hands, pulling Ben to a seated position in the head scissors to add even more increased pressure. Ben manages to roll back and forth, from side to side, until he kicks out of the hold! Both Alex and ben are on their feet and they reach up to engage in a test-of-strength.

Adams: This should be interesting! Both men are almost equal in size.

They link first one set of hands, then the other, and just as the test of strength begins, Ben whips Alex over with a double arm drag and grabs him into an arm bar!

Simone: You'd think Alex would have been the first to sucker Ben in but Ben lured him in with that one!

Ben has Alex's arm extended on the mat with his knee to the side of Jones' head, holding him down. Alex stretches his leg out and gets his boot on the bottom rope, forcing Dawn to call for the break. And unlike many competitors, Ben releases the hold right away. Alex rises to his feet, shaking feeling back into his arm. Alex then holds his hand out for Ben as a sign of good will. A smiling Ben reaches out and accepts -- and Alex cracks him across the chest with a knife edge chop!

Adams: Now THERE'S the Alex Jones we know and love!

Ben staggers back and falls against the ropes under the weight of Alex's swift and sudden onslaught of knife edge chops in between forearm smashes! Alex then snapmares Ben over into a seated position and delivers a hard soccer kick to the small of the Cockney King's back! Alex struts around to face Ben and starts to pull him up to his feet, when Ben suddenly sweeps Alex's legs out from under him and pounces on top of Jones and unloads a series of forearm smashes down into his trapped opponent! Alex rolls him off and he is now on top and returns the favor with his own clubbing blows! Ben rolls him over, then Alex, then Ben again until both men roll under the ropes and fall in a heap on the ringside floor!

Simone: How did we go from a technical masterpiece to THIS?

Adams: Just lucky I guess!

Both men are up but ben sends Alex collapsing against the barrier with a European uppercut! Ben then goes after him but Alex wraps both arms around Ben's waist and runs him back against the ring apron! Before Dawn can continue her count against them, Alex grabs Ben and rolls him back inside of the ring before following. Alex then grabs Ben in a front face lock quarter nelson and suplexes him over! Holding onto Ben's arm, Alex pulls him into a seated spot and lays him out with a stiff martial arts kick! ben hits his back, Alex pulls him up again and kicks him down again, then a third time! Ben sits up a fourth time and Alex runs off of the ropes and right into the V trigger, a running knee strike! Alex with the cover and he hooks the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Ben kicks out!

And the moment Ben kicks out, Alex has him in a cross arm breaker!

Adams: First wrestling, then fighting, now wrestling again! They must have wrestler's tourettes!

Ben reaches for the ropes with his legs and free arm but Alex has expertly kept his back to the ropes, trapping Ben in the center of the ring. Ben then rolls backwards to escape, but Alex uses this to his advantage, now trapping Ben down on the mat in a seated Fujiwara! But Ben already has his out and he somersaults over, breaking the hold. Ben now is standing and has Alex by the legs. Ben falls back, launching Alex face-first into the corner with a catapult! Alex staggers back and turns around and Ben just whips his head forward and head butts Alex right between the eyes!

Simone: Did you hear that CRACK of skull meets skull!?

Even Ben is staggered as Alex falls down into the corner! Ben then grabs Alex and goes to send him into the far corner with an Irish whip but Alex reverses it! Ben jumps onto the middle rope and springboards back, wiping Alex out with a clothesline! Ben pulls him right back up and sends Alex into the ropes for a back body drop but Alex lands on his feet behind his opponent! Ben spins around and Alex doubles him over with a boot to the midsection! Alex then goes for an Irish whip but Ben ducks under the attempt and wraps his arms around Alex...

Adams: Belly To Ben suplex!

Ben with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Alex kicks out!

Simone: Close! But not quite yet!

Ben grabs Alex by the leg and he steps in for a Figure Four Leglock, but Alex pulls him into a small package!

ONE!

TWO!

Ben kicks out!

Adams: Neither of these men can keep the advantage on the other!

Simone: That just goes to show how damn good BOTH men are!

They get to their feet and CRACK! Superkick to the face of Ben Jordan! Alex tucks his head between his legs and --!

Adams: The Dragon Sleeps! It's OVER!

Alex with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Ben arches his back to take his shoulders off the canvas!

Simone: He got out! He got out of the Dragon Sleeps!

Adams: Alex can't believe it!

Alex is holding his hands out, staring in disbelief at Dawn who holds two fingers up! Alex slams a fist into the mat and jumps to his feet and begins stomping hard into Ben's exposed body! Alex finally relents to bring Ben to a standing position -- and Ben suddenly grabs Alex and takes him to the mat into Crossing Jordan!

Simone: He's trapped! Ben has Alex trapped with nowhere to go!

Alex's eyes are wide before tightly shut in the agony of Ben's submission finisher! Alex raises a hand, threatening to tap -- but manages to hold on! He is in the hold for what seems an age when he begins to drag himself closer to the ropes and reaches -- stretching to the ropes! Just as his fingers reach, Ben releases the hold and swiftly pulls him back into a crucifix pin!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Alex kicks out!

Ben is sitting up, running both hands down his face! But while he is momentarily distracted, Alex grabs him and traps him in the Koji Clutch! Ben is immediately in dire straights, as Alex wrenches his neck, shoulder and arm all at the same time in the dangerous submission hold! Ben stretches his leg back toward the ropes but is just far enough away to prevent it! Ben then manages to roll to his knees, still in the hold. He pushes himself to his feet, and SLOWLY lifts Alex up while in the hold...

Adams: No way!

And Ben RAMS Alex back into the corner, breaking the hold!

Simone: How Ben Jordan managed to withstand the pain of that hold is beyond me!

Ben staggers back, holding his neck! he then moves in but Alex lashes out with a boot that doubles him over! Alex runs forward and jumps for a step up Enzugari but Ben ducks under! Alex starts to rise when ben jumps over him for a sunset flip!

ONE!

TWO!

Alex rolls back and jackknife covers him!

ONE!

TWO!

Ben kicks out but Alex is right on him with a rear naked choke submission! But Ben rolls back to escape and Alex rolls with him, but ben hooks his leg and has the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner -- 'The Cockney King" Ben Jordan!

The crowd cheers as Dawn raises the hand of Ben while Alex sits there, completely stunned!

Adams: What a match! WHAT. A . MATCH!

Simone: Neither man could beat the other! It took a pin from out of nowhere to end this match!

Ben stands and celebrates when Alex grabs him and spins him around!

Simone: Uh oh...

The two men stare at one another -- then Alex offers his hand and Ben accepts! The fans cheer as Alex raises Ben's arm and the takes his leave as Ben salutes him and continues his celebration inside of the ring!

The cameras pan backstage after the physical matchup between Ben Jordan and Alex Jones, to find Evie standing backstage. She had watched her husband's match up close standing behind a monitor and now she was waiting for him to come back up the ramp and enter the backstage area.

Adams: Love her or hate her, Evie sure is wife of the year material.

Simone: Too bad that isn't an official award.

Adams: Well it should be. I'll add it to the suggestion box at the end of tonight's show.

After celebrating his victory with the fans Ben made his way to the back, he just made his way through the curtains before he was pounced on by Evie. Catching her with ease Ben twirled her around, before he placed her feet back on the ground.

Evie: I TOLD YOU!

She shouted, as if to drive her point home.

Ben: You did.

Ben said with a smirk.

Evie: You never cease to amaze me, every time you're in that ring... wow... God I'm proud of you.

Evie was gushing over her husband, it was a little flirty but it was heart felt. Before Ben could reply Evie pressed her lips to his in a rare display of on air affection between the two. As they usually kept their relationship professional at work. Their lips quickly parted ways before Evie looked up at her husband with a smile beaming on her face.

Evie: one down one to go.

Ben moved a lock of Evie's brown hair and tucked it behind her right ear.

Ben: You'll smash her Eves... I know you will.

He winked at her, as he gave her a small pep talk.

Ben: Then we can hit the town and celebrate.

That last line was like music to Evie's ears as she smiled up at Ben. Ben didn't waste a moment as he ducked his head down and placed a delicate kiss on Evie's forehead, before draping his left around her shoulders. The two then walked off to celebrate.




O'Malley is backstage with his wife Darcy talking between themselves when the two look up and the returning Fenris steps onto the scene! Darcy's eyes widen as O'Malley simply stares at him!

O'Malley: What the hell are ye doing here!?

Fenris cracks a smirk.

Fenris: I was invited. Wasn't going to bother coming over, but then I remembered something.

O'Malley: What...?

Fenris: Something you said you wanted to do if I was around you.

Fenris takes a step closer and leans in, pointing at his chin.

Fenris: Go ahead. Take your shot!

O'Malley glances at Darcy. She's shaking her head nervously and he then turns his attention back to Fenris, cracking a smile.

O'Malley: Appreciate the offer, but I think I'll pass. I'd hate to spoil yer grand return.

He lets out an awkward laugh and Darcy can't help but remain slightly concerned. Fenris just looks at his fellow GO gym graduate and finally shakes his head.

Fenris: Somehow... I was hoping for more.

He takes a step closer and smiles.

Fenris: It was good seeing you, O'Malley.

Fenris then walks past the husband and wife duo as their eyes watch him go.




Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCU Underground Championship!

The opening of "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold begins playing and red and white lights begin flashing across the stage and out into the audience.

Darlyn: From Anaheim, CA standing at 6'4" and weighing in at 235lb, he is... Dax Beckett!!!

He strokes his beard, an intense look on his face as he comes to the center of the stage. He shouts out at the crowd, holding his arms out at his side as he does a slow 180 degree turn, slowly walking backward. Once the music completely picks up, Dax turns around and charges down the aisle. He darts around the ring, stopping periodically to pose for the fans, whether they like it or not. Once he makes his way around the ring, Dax jumps onto the apron and charges his way up the nearest turnbuckle. Dax ascends and nods his head to the music, his fist in the air. He jumps off and flips, landing on his feet as he jogs in place, waiting for his opponent.

A white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Spirit In the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum begins to play through the arena. The crowd boos and gets louder when the announcer speaks up.

Darlyn: On his way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma he is 6'6" and weighed in this morning at 275lb. Representing The Church of The Good Shepherds he is Father Gerald Shepherd!

And the boos become louder. Gerald runs out onto the stage, throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand as he shouts out a verse. He walks down the ramp as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and runs up them. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and slowly spins around before settling in a corner and waits for the match to start.

DING DING DING!

Chad: Father Gerald takes advantage of the situation by charging at Dax and taking him down to the mat. He wails away at the challenger like he's fighting for his life. Dax finds his way to the ropes.

Gena: In some ways, he is fighting for his life. His legacy depends on it. He doesn't heed the warning of referee Constance Salazaar and he drags Dax back to the center of the ring. He continues pounding on Dax.

Chad: Dax is just overpowered at this point, and the referee isn't liking the disregard for her authority. She begins counting Father Gerald down.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Gena: Gerald holds his hands up and takes a step aside. He mouths off to her as he does so, and then he lets Dax get up to his feet before scooping him up. As he goes to slam Dax, but Dax slides down his back.

Chad: Gerald turns around and Dax hits a Spinning Kick to Gerald's stomach. Gerald hunches over and Dax gets an Axe Kick to the back of his head, sending him down to the mat.

Gena: Dax climbs on Gerald's back and grabs one arm, rolling Shepherd up into a La Magistral Pin!

ONE!

T...Kickout!

Chad: Dax rolls to his feet, but Gerald springs up faster than you would expect a... gentleman of his age... to do so. He ducks a Clothesline, and then he brings Dax over with a Belly-to-Back Suplex, locking on the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Gena: Gerald slams the mat angrily. He gets to his feet as Dax crawls over to the corner. Gerald waits for Dax to get halfway up before charging with a Hip Attack. Gerald pulls Dax up from the mat.

Chad: Gerald flings Dax into the ropes, looking for a Sidewalk Slam, but Dax stops and slaps Gerald across the face. Gerald is livid and he backhands Dax, spinning him around and he lifts Dax up for an Atomic Drop.

Gena: Dax's eyes nearly bulge out and Gerald hits a Clothesline on him. He then drops a knee across the chest of Dax. He drops down for a Lateral Press.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Chad: Gerald pounds the mat angrily and stands up, arguing with the referee. Constance insists that it was a two count and Gerald waves her off. He picks Dax up, but Dax shoves him.

Gena: Father Gerald shoves Dax into the ropes, and as Dax rebounds, he hits a Clothesline, followed by a series of quick kicks that brings Gerald to his knees. He goes for a knockout kick, but Gerald grabs onto his leg and sweeps the other one. Dax is feeling the first match against Stewart now...

Chad: Gerald kicks the legs of Dax several times before hitting a Catapult... right into the referee! Gerald then spins Dax around and hits the Ray of Light (Diamond Cutter)! He hooks the leg!

Crowd: One! Two! Three! ...

Gena: The match would be won, but Gerald knocked out the referee in the process! He looks over at the referee and yells at her to get up. When she doesn't, he lets go of the pin, he begins shaking her.

Chad: He helps her up as she shakes off the cobwebs. Gerald snaps in her face. The two argue back and forth, and then Constance shoves Gerald out of her face. As this happens, Dax can't stop the Spear to Constance, and he takes her down to the mat!

Gena: Dax looks horrified as he tries to check on her. She shouts at him as she slides outside to hold her ribs. Dax continues to apologize to her as she shouts back at him. He steps back as she climbs the steps.

Chad: As she gets back inside of the ring, Father Gerald spins Dax around and surprises him with a SECOND Ray of Light! He quickly covers Dax!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Darlyn: Here is your winner and STILL SCU Underground Champion... Father Gerald Shepherd!!!

"Spirit In the Sky" plays over the speakers as Gerald drops down to one knee. He accepts the belt from Constance, and holds it up to the sky, in all of His glory. Gerald signs the Trinity with his free hand and then touches his fingers to his lips to send the love up above. The crowd boos him loudly as he sneers. He looks down at Dax and steps over him in a long, drawn out, arrogant process, and he exits the ring.




It's no small wonder why O'Malley walked away with this one. Ever since he made his return to the main roster, O'Malley has rubbed people the wrong way. Determined to surpass the accomplishments of his fellow GO Gym graduates, going so far as to prematurely claim to have surpassed them all. The constant presence of his wife Darcy and her, at the time, penchant for interfering in his matches did not help on how fans and his peers see him. Many believed she was the power behind the throne. But nowhere did O'Malley commit a more dastardly act than when he attacked Ben Jordan post-match, cashing in his Golden Briefcase to win the Underground Championship.




The scene cuts in on interviewer Holly Wood, whose presence of course, draws a positive response from the audience. She's in a confident mood as she begins to speak.

Holly Wood: Ladies and gentlemen, I am standing by with the SCW Bombshells Internet Champion... Myra Rivers!

The scene pans to reveal a calm and confident Myra Rivers who draws an even more positive response from the audience.

Holly Wood: You've had quite the strong reign as the Internet Champion! Tonight, on the biggest show of the year on the Sin City Wrestling calendar, you'll be making your fourth defense of the championship that you hold tonight. After the first three defenses, how confident are you that this defense is also going to be successful?

Myra: I am feeling pretty good! I won't lie about that. None of the three defenses that I've had so far have been easy, I will tell you that for a fact. The last one against Maki, I didn't have the stipulation advantage in my favor at all and she was definitely not nice about the way she went about that match, but I was still able to overcome that. But, here I am now! I've held this championship for over 100 days and that's pretty nice. But the main thing that I am focusing on is making sure that this reign continues.

Holly Wood: You did mention that your reign has gone over 100 days, but something that I wanted to point out is that if you were to retain tonight, you'd tie a record! You would tie three other women with the most successful defenses in one Internet Championship reign.

Myra: That's a good note, but that's not something that I'm willing to talk about or even think about because records are not the reason why I won this championship to begin with. On top of that, I still have to defend this title against Seleana later tonight. I get the significance, don't get me wrong. But, prior to Summer XXXtreme, when I won this championship, I said that I wasn't seeking to win the title to break records. This isn't to downplay the reign that I've had. I'm proud of the fact that I've been one of the stronger champions in this title's history and I plan on continuing to be so with a win tonight!

Holly Wood: Speaking of Seleana, in the build up to this, you expressed some open concerns regarding her focus for this championship match. You pointed out that she had barely even mentioned this match in the weeks leading up to this. This seemed to ruffle some feathers with her as her response to you regarding this was far from happy.

Myra takes her time to think about her response to what Holly just brought up.

Holly Wood: What's your response to how she reacted to that?

Myra: Look, I get that Seleana has gone through some other things surrounding her. What I said about her focus was not, in any way, meant to be offensive. I never, in any way, stated that her other priorities weren't important. The point that I was trying to get across is that I wasn't sure how much she wanted this match considering she barely said a word about it. I never put her down. I never said anything negative about her abilities. You can't control how people are going to react to things at the end of the day and how she reacted to those words don't change my opinion about her as a wrestler or as a person. All I ask of her is that she gives me a strong, focused challenge. That's all! Either way, I do plan on giving it my best out there, just like I always have and hell, I'm going to take it a step further considering the significance of High Stakes! This is the biggest show of the year after all and it's been a long, long time since I've been able to have a victory on a flagship stage that I can be proud of!

Best of luck to Seleana all in all, but this is a full circle moment for me and I plan on making the most of it! I'm STILL going to be the Bombshells Internet Champion when it's all said and done and I'm going to end my first season here in Sin City Wrestling on one hell of a high note! This journey has really taught me to believe in myself again and I'm going to show exactly how much I've learned when I go out there and retain once more!

Myra walks out of the interview having said all that has needed to be said. She receives some strong cheers from the audience as the scene cuts out.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Bombshell Internet Championship.... Introducing first.... She is the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Internet Champion... hailing from Miami, Florida... Myra Rivers....

"Come to Life" by Alter Bridge hits the speakers and the crowd lets out a strong reaction of support as Myra Rivers appears on the stage, already looking to take care of business. She heads down the ramp momentarily pausing at the bottom to give a quick smile at anyone nearby that is letting her know that they are behind her. Once the chorus starts, she gets inside of the ring and walks up to the opposite corner, adjacent to the ring announcer. She leans against the corner, focused and determined for her upcoming match, reveling in the continued showering of love the crowd is raining upon her.

Justin: And her opponent... from Los Angeles, California... Seleana Zdunich...

The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich is led through the entranceway by her wife and tag team partner, Crystal Hilton. The two make their way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers them on.

Zdunich enters the ring and poses for the crowd before turning to focus on Myra Rivers in front of her and the task at hand.

The ref moves in and checks both ladies for weapons before taking the internet championship off Rivers before raising it up to show the fans and Zdunich before turning and handing it off to ringside.

The ref then indicates for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

Zdunich steps forward and begins to mouth off and indicating that she is going to takes Rivers title as Rivers argues back and they continue to shout and scream at each other, which Zdunich gives Rivers a shove and Rivers responds back with one of her own. Where they have been moving about the ring they end up near the corner, and with the shove from Rivers, Zdunich is pushes backward into the corner but she isn't put off and she steps forward and they continue to trade words, which Rivers just shoves Zdunich again and even grabbing her by the face and push her back some more, as the ref moves in and gives a warning to Rivers.

Simone: Wow... never seen Rivers and Zdunich this fired up.

Adams: A lot of shouting and screaming and shoving.

Rivers apologies but with that brief distraction, she delivers a slap to Zdunich's face. Zdunich holds her face for a moment before grabbing Rivers and reverses and sends Rivers into the corner, where she hits multiple forearm shots to Rivers chest before grabbing her head and sends her down to the mat, where Zdunich grabs Rivers arms and tries to wrap her up but Rivers gets her arms free and instead Zdunich wraps her legs around Rivers head and begins to squeeze, Rivers kicks and screams as she tries to find a way out of the move. Grabbing Zdunich legs she tries to free herself but instead she places her elbow on the side of her knee and begins to grind her elbow in, which forces Rivers to release her grip.

Adams: And the shouting and screaming etc... ends with a slap to Zdunich face. Zdunich doesn't take too kindly to it and she fires back with forearm shots to Rivers chest. She sends her down to the mat and then locks in a headscissors type move.

Simone: Zdunich kicks her legs about as she tries to slip free but instead she opts to grind her elbow into the side of the knee, which Rivers has no choice to loosen her grip and free her.

Sitting up, Zdunich crawls away from Rivers but Rivers chases after her and goes to grab her feet but Zdunich turns and River grabs her legs but Zdunich pushes Rivers away and she lands on her back. Zdunich climbs to her feet, which Rivers takes a few extra moments, as she holds the back of her head. Zdunich waits for Rivers to turn and as she does Zdunich catches Rivers with an unbalanced superkick, although not with the full effect, as Rivers stumbles back into the corner. Zdunich who was unbalanced climbs back to her feet, however Rivers moves from the corner and meets Zdunich and kicks her in the thigh before grabbing her head and arms and hits a butterfly suplex sending Zdunich across the ring.

Simone: While Rivers reluctantly let's go, Zdunich crawls away but Rivers is back on her feet and grabs Rivers feet but Zdunich just shoves her away before making her way back to her feet. Zdunich catches with a superkick... although she didn't have all the power behind it, so it was more of shove.

Adams: It's enough to force Rivers back. Rivers, however, isn't out of it and she catches Zdunich with a kick as she approaches and then sets up and hits a beautiful butterfly suplex.

Zdunich sits in a sitting position holding her back, as Rivers rushes in and grabs Zdunich and goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Zdunich kicks out, but Rivers doesn't dwell on it and she climbs back to her feet and grabs Zdunich and pulls her up but only to club her across her back. Zdunich grabs Rivers around the waist and drives her into the corner, keeping hold of Rivers, Zdunich backs up and drives her into the corner again. Zdunich then grabs Rivers around the head before dragging her from the corner, where she then turns and then hits a snap suplex sending Rivers into the corner and against the ropes. Rivers holds her head, as Zdunich is on her knees and looks at Rivers.

Simone: Rivers goes for a pin but Zdunich kicks out at two.

Adams: Rivers tries to work over Zdunich but Zdunich is ready and drives her into the corner a few times before hitting a snap suplex into the corner.

Zdunich grabs Rivers and rolls her onto her back and goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Zdunich questions the two count as she holds up two fingers but quickly turns back to Rivers and grabs her again and goes for another pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Adams: Zdunich goes for a pin but Rivers kicks out. She tries again following a query to the ref but again Rivers kicks out.

Zdunich grits her teeth, as she manoeuvres herself and climbs on top of Rivers and then begins to punch her over and over against until the ref interjects and Zdunich stops. Rivers throws a punch but Zdunich looks down at her and again throws a few punches to Rivers as Rivers manages to sit up and begins to fight back throwing punches of her own as she pushes Zdunich over and climbs on top and begins to throw her own punches. The ref yells at Rivers to move away but nothing happens and Zdunich blocks the final punch and she rolls Rivers onto her back, where she delivers a slap before pulling her up in and delivers a headbutt.

Simone: Rivers is really struggling to get a flow in this match, as Zdunich continues to dominate this match.

Adams: Interesting domination from Zdunich but unfortunately its only brief as Rivers reverse the rolls and she is now working over Zdunich but Zdunich is quick to counter and she delivers a stinging slap and then a headbutt.

Rivers falls backwards and shakes her head, as Zdunich holding her own face rolls away and into the corner. Rivers shakes off her pain, as she moves to where Zdunich and grabs her and pulls her up to her feet and pins her in the corner, where she then hits a boot to the stomach before delivering a kick to the chest. With the kick to the chest Zdunich pops up holding her chest and Rivers follows up with a roundhouse kick.

Simone: Rivers shakes off her own pain and goes back to work on Zdunich and she delivers a great little combination.

Zdunich hits the turnbuckle before dropping down to the mat, Rivers moves in and grabs Zdunich by the foot and drags her out from the corner, where she rolls her onto her stomach before sitting on her back and then pulls her up into a camel clutch. Zdunich screams out, as Rivers grits her teeth as she looks to end this match. Zdunich, however, isn't ready to give up as she kicks her legs about but its Rivers who breaks the hold and stands up and then stomps on the back of her, as she then turns and grabs Zdunich is leg and locks in a single leg Boston crab.

Adams: Indeed a great combination, as Rivers then drags Zdunich from the corner and then locks in a camel clutch but Zdunich isn't about to give up too easily and fights through the pain.

Simone: Rivers realises this and instead switches it up and locks in a single leg boston crab.

Zdunich once against grimaces, as she realises that she would be able to get out of this move and she claws at the mat and pulls herself towards the ropes and she just about reaches as her finger tips brush the bottom rope. She does one more push and she wraps her hand around it. As the ref move in and yells Rivers to break the hold. Rivers reluctantly breaks the hold before backing away as Zdunich pulls herself closer to the ropes and clings onto them tightly.

Simone: This time Zdunich is able to fight out of this move unlike the camel clutch and she hauls herself towards the ropes. She is able to touch them but not full grab them and its take an extra lunge to do so and Rivers has to release.

Rivers moves in but the ref forces her back, as Zdunich holds her back before using the ropes and moves into a seated position. Rivers shrugs off the ref and moves back in and grabs Zdunich and pulls her up, where she leans her up against the ropes, Rivers backs up and then rushes as she looks to clothesline Zdunich out of the ring, but Zdunich is ready for her and ducks and then pushes Rivers up and over the rope. Rivers lands on the apron as she takes a wild swing at Zdunich but Zdunich ducks and throws a forearm shot on Rivers. Rivers teeters on the apron, Zdunich backs up and then rushes in with a shoulder block catching Rivers and sending her to the outside.

Adams: Rivers tries to move back in but the ref forces her back, which allows Zdunich to recover as she continues to hug the rope.

Simone: Rivers, however, want this match to continue and just moves past the ref and grabs Zdunich and leans her up against the ropes as she looks to send Zdunich over the ropes but Zdunich sees her coming and ducks and then sends Rivers over the top rope and onto the apron.

Adams: Rivers is in a precarious position here as she takes a wild swing at Zdunich but again Zdunich ducks and hits a forearm shot of her own before backing up and hitting a shoulder block sending Rivers backwards.

Rivers stumbles backwards and lands against the barriers, as she cries out the wind is knocked out of her. Zdunich back in the ring watches Rivers before turning and bounces off once set of ropes before coming back and diving through the ropes to catch Rivers with the suicide dive. Zdunich rolls away as Rivers slumps down to the mat, as Zdunich shake off what she has done the best she can and makes her way to her feet as she looks up at the ref, who yells at them to bring the action back into the ring.

Simone: Zdunich follows up with a suicide dive, which connects.

Zdunich turns to Rivers, where she grabs Rivers foot and drags her away from the barriers. Zdunich then hits a standing moonsault landing on Rivers. The ref who has given up asking begins to count...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Zdunich climbs back to her feet holding her torso, as she grabs Rivers by the hair and pulls her up and then hits a clothesline sending her back down to the mat.

Adams: Very risky dive there but it works out for her, as Zdunich pulls Rivers away from the barrier and follows up with a standing moonsault, but she isn't done as she grabs her and hits a short arm clothesline.

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Zdunich grabs Rivers once more and this time she throws her back into the ring and follows close behind, where she goes for a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

Thr...kickout...

Simone: The ref at six, however, Zdunich isn't rushing herself and the throws Rivers back into the ring and goes for a pin. It's close but Rivers kicks out... as she comes close to losing her championship.

Zdunich queries with the ref who gives a short explanation, she shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet as she turns and grabs Rivers by the feet and rolls her onto her stomach, She grabs her feet but Rivers kicks her feet about, which Zdunich backs off a little as Rivers turns herself over and Zdunich moves back in and grabs Rivers but River grabs her and tries to roll her up for a surprise...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Adams: Zdunich looks to finish this match with the Shot of Z but she Rivers fights back and Zdunich has to re-evaluate her next move, which gives Rivers an opening and she tries for a surprise pin but only get a two count.

Zdunich quickly rolls away, as Rivers grabs the ropes and pulls herself up slowly to her feet, as Zdunich also climbs to her feet, as she charges at Rivers, but Rivers throws up a high elbow catching Zdunich who stumbles away and Rivers charges at Zdunich and hits a sling blade. Rivers slowly makes her way to her feet and she stumbles over to Zdunich and grabs her and pulls her up and hits a snap suplex.

Simone: Rivers continues her come back and Zdunich charges at her but is met with a high elbow from Rivers and Rivers hits a sling blade and then a snap suplex.

Rivers climbs back to her feet and grabs Zdunich once more and this time she set up and hits the Rebel Bomb (Widow's Peak/Gory Special).

She then goes for the pin...

Adams: River finally finishes off Zdunich and hits the Rebel Bomb.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: Rivers wins and has another successful title defence.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner if this match via pinfall and still the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Internet champion.... Myra Rivers.

Rivers music hits over the p.a, as she climbs to her feet as the ref hands her the belt and she raises it in victory.




To many, Ben Jordan is the picture perfect example of a professional wrestler. Handsome, muscular body, unparalleled talent inside of the ring, and a just all around good person to know. Unlike some, Ben's success inside of the ring did not breed contempt but he led by example. And, he never forgot his friends or especially his fans. Whether at autograph signings or meeting fans after shows, the lines to meet Ben stretched as far as the eye could see. And he caused quite the headache for many an agent because he refused to leave until every fan present had been satisfied. You just don't meet that level of commitment to the fans very often any more.




As the show continues, we once again find the camera backstage. A corridor is just a few feet ahead and a few moments later, another familiar face to SCW is seen, though this one not having been seen in almost three years! Wearing a grey suit jacket with matching slacks and a black button up shirt, with the first two buttons left undone and no tie, is none other than forme World Heavyweight Champion and member of the Seven Deadly Sins, Jake Sullivan- formerly known as Rage! He rounds the corner and just as he does, he's met by none other than Pussy Willow!

Pussy: Oh my! Rage! Fancy seeing you here!

Jake, still of course answering to Rage on occasion, turns his head in her direction and simply raises an eyebrow. The look he gives her causes her to realize her mistake and she immediately holds a hand up.

Pussy: My apologies. Jake. I just don't know if I'll ever get used to referring to you by your actual name.

Jake: No worries, Pussy. No one has, so it's whatever.

Pussy: What are you doing here? I mean, backstage at least?

He shrugs once, barely responding.

Jake: I haven't really been to a show over the last few years, much less backstage. This is High Stakes, and I'm a former champ. So why not?

Pussy: Fair enough. I of course knew you would be present for the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with Synn being inducted.

Jake nods.

Jake: Obviously. I mean we all know I wouldn't be here for the ceremony if Synn wasn't on the list. Aside from Delia Darling, none of the others even matter. Casey Williams? The Fallen?

He laughs and lets out a slight snort.

Jake: Fucking embarrassing.

Pussy: Ouch. It sounds like perhaps you're a little hurt that they were inducted before you?

Jake laughs again and shakes his head.

Jake: I couldn't give a shit honestly. When I go into the Hall of Fame, I know I'll have earned it. It won't be a pity induction like Casey or a complete sham like The Fallen. Ya know, the group that supports cheaters like Jeremiah Hardin. Just sayin'.

Pussy: Still haven't gotten over that, have you?

Jake: Oh I've gotten over it, but that doesn't mean I'll forget. But despite the fact that The Fallen have been inducted, I don't think anyone gives a shit about them, or even really remembers them.

Pussy Willow doesn't seem to agree juding by the look on her face, but she doesn't question him further on that.

Pussy: And your comment about Casey Williams? Seems a bit harsh, don't you think?

Jake: Fuck no. It's the truth. Casey Williams didn't accomplish shit, and only got chosen for his longevity with the company. But, hey, if it makes everyone happy, ain't no skin off my back. He can kiss J2H's ass all he likes if it makes him feel better.

Pussy: Aaand there it is.

Jake grins.

Jake: As if it matters? J ain't listening. He thinks I'm boring. I can say whatever the hell I want about him. He can respond if he likes, or he can go trashing me all over Twitter like a little bitch if that's what he wants. The fact is, I don't care. And I certainly don't need Bobbie Dahl defending me either.

Just then, the sound of a throat clearing is heard. Jake and Pussy turn and look off camera. The camera pans back to see none other than Bobbie Dahl staring at him, with a frown on her face.

Bobbie: Well excuuuuuuse me for trying to be nice! Clearly playing Mr. Mom has done nothing for your attitude!!

She then flips him the bird before she turns and storms off in a huff! Jake raises an eyebrow as he looks back to Pussy.

Jake: Did you know she was here tonight?

Pussy shakes her head.

Pussy: If I did, I'd have warned you.

Jake: I'm so glad I'm retired from this shit. These Bombshells are getting crazier than Kittie...

Jake just shakes his head before walking away.




Darlyn: This next match is a MMA match for the SCU Combat Championship!!!

Dying To Be Me by Remy Ma starts to play. Michi comes out wearing her OTE warm up robe, MMA shoes, and fighting gloves. She bounces to the beat as the song starts to come in.

Darlyn: On the way to the ring, the challenger... From Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil... Michelle DeJesus!!!!

Michi starts making her way to the ring. She keeps bouncing toward the ring the whole time. Once at ringside she slides in the ring and takes off her robe. She is seen wearing her all black OTE MMA top and shorts. She bounces around as she waits for the match to begin.

Darlyn: And her opponent!!!

The fans sit and wait as the lights in the arena phase out. Everyone sits in silence until the chaotic rifts of symphonic sounds of exist†trace's "Futatsu no Roe" begins to pump throughout air. A couple of lights at the base of the entrance ramp flicker on.

Darlyn: On her way to the ring, from Osaka, Japan, standing at 5'5" and weighing in at 133lb, she is... Merlot Ayyyyyyyyyanooooooooooo!!!

Merlot Ayano stands with her back turned as the beams illuminate her. She quickly raises her right fist in the air before using both of her hands to blow kisses into the air.

Merlot heads directly towards the steps upon reaching the end of the entrance ramp. She wipes her boots on the apron before stepping through the ropes. Merlot strolls around the ring as the lights return before heading to one of the corners. She uses the ropes to get loose and stretch out her legs before the bell rings

Chad: Merlot screams in pain as she tries to stop Michi from pulling with one hand and swinging with the other trying to hit Michi in the side of her head. Michi is too strong and keeps pulling back on that kn...

DING DING DING!

Gena: Michi quickly lets go of Merlot and Merlot stops swinging as she holds her knee in pain. Merlot is saved by the bell as that's the end of round one.

Master Lilly goes to check on Merlot. Merlot gets to her feet, the crowd cheers as she lumps to her corner.

Gena: The two ladies get these few seconds to catch their breath and think how to go about round two.

Chad: Michi should keep doing what she's doing and she's walking out of here as the new Combat Champion. But Merlot is not going out without a fight and is still in this. One mistake from Michi and Merlot will make her pay.

Gena: Master Lilly and Merlot walk over to her corner as doctor green comes in to check the cut. Michi looks on as does the fans sitting at ringside.

Chad: The cut seems to not be too bad so I'm sure Merlot will be allowed to continue. We hate to see her have to lose but a little cut.

Gena: Dr. Green gives Master Lilly the thumbs up. Merlot is good to go. He was able to stop the bleeding. Master Lilly singles for both ladies to fight. Michi walks to the middle of the ring extending her fist out for respect. Merlot walks to the middle of the ring and taps fist to show the same respect.

DING DING DING!

Gena: Michi quickly gets off of Merlot and gets to her feet to get to her corner. Merlot slowly picks herself up as Master Lilly goes to check on her. Merlot's right eye looks to have closed shut a bit with her left side bleeding again.

Chad: Merlot is a fighter, she's going to keep going even if she can barely see. Master Lilly may end this match as she speaks with Merlot to figure out her discussion in this match.

Gena: Master Lilly would hate to end it this way, but will always put Merlot's health above anything else.

Chad: Michi knows this won't be going 5 rounds. Look for her to end it in round three the way things are going. But Merlot is not out of it yet, she just needs to stop Michi offence and land her own punches.

Gena: Yes, I agree, make no mistake about it. Michi may be one of the strongest but pound for pound, Merlot is as strong as they come.

DING DING DING!

Chad: Master Lilly is letting this go on. Merlot struggles to see from one eye, Michi stays at her corner. Merlot stops in the middle of the ring waiting to see what Michi does. Michi looks at Master Lilly and waves her over.

Gena: Maybe she wants her to call the match as Merlot looks really hurt.

Chad: Will see as she now walks over to Merlot to talk to her. Merlot eye brows raise and nod. The match is over!!!

Gena: Master Lilly walks over to Dr. Green... He hands her a towel, no two towels, Master Lilly walks over to Merlot and hands her a towel, she walks over to Michi and hands Michi a towel...

Chad: Okay now I'm confused.

Gena: Don't be, the two fighters share a bow and put the towels over their eyes as they tie the towels behind their heads. They're going to continue this match blind folded!

Chad: The fans here pop crazy as they know this is about to get good!

Gena: Michi takes two steps towards Merlot as she takes a step back, Michi takes two more steps and throws a punch where Merlot was standing at and misses.

Merlot bows as she tells Michi something. The two shake hands, Michi leaves the ring as Master Lilly hands Merlot her Combat title. Merlot wraps the title around her waist then grabs her towel to wipe the blood from her cut.




They say behind every great man is a great woman. That statement is fact when it comes to the wife and manager of the (as of press time) reigning Roulette Champion, Rinoa Williams. This relatively quiet and demure woman is unlike her managerial peers in more ways than one. Rinoa does most of her accomplishments off camera when not supporting Kedron at ringside, and takes no credit for her husband's accomplishments inside of the ring. She herself has also stepped inside of the ring on at least two occasions, one being against none other than Evie Jordan when she and Kedron defeated the Jordans in mixed tag team competition. Quite an accomplishment for a woman many see as quiet and unassuming when at ringside.




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

The SCW Universe applauds as the music with a beat to it kicks up across the sound system and through the rainbow fog onstage emerges Amanda Hugginkiss in a pink party dress with an entourage of young, pretty men as her backup dancers. As her performance begins, the young men break out into dance around her and the stage!

Amanda: He looks like Tarzan and talks like Jane
He's so damn sexy, I no complain

A circuit week Barcelona over to Ibiza, Ibiza, Ibiza...

They're mean gays

The song comes to its conclusion and the dancers drop into one final pose around Amanda who poses as the spotlight winks out to crazy applause and cheers from the fans!

Cut backstage where "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward and Christian Underwood are standing, watching the monitor. Mark turns his head and looks at his business partner, causing Christian to do a double take.

Christian: Don't look at me like that! She choreographs her own performances!




We are backstage as we see a familiar face standing there smiling as he is wearing sunglasses and has a neat sweater around his neck.

Simone: Oh God, I thought we were rid of that guy!!

The camera zooms in on the man that we all know as Senor Vinnie, he is gesturing to the camera to come closer as he clearly has got something to say.

Senor Vinnie: I want to thank Senor Underwood and Ward for the time off that I was granted to do some soul searching. And I have to admit, I have been a bit off lately.

Simone: Lately???

Senor Vinnie: So I have gone back and did some soul searching and I realized that I had neglected what my true talent really is all about. And my determination was something I took for granted, something that propelled me to two title reigns... one was better than the other... but I realize that I was just slacking... But now?? I feel so much better, that I am willing to answer an open challenge to anyone out there to face me...... As I intend to right the wrong that I have put myself through....

With that Vinnie waves at the camera as we go back to ringside.

Simone: I will never get used to that guy




Justin: The following contest is for one fall and is a Hardcore grudge match! Introducing first.

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand.

Justin: From London, England, weighing in at one hundred and ten pounds, she is Diamond Kate Steele!

She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

Justin: and her opponent....

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

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

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

Adams: This has the potential to get messy.

The two women stare at each other from across the ring, hate in both their eyes. Jasmine looks at the two and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

As soon as the bell rings, both women charge towards each other. Kate quickly tackles Evie to the canvas, and throws punches towards Evie's head but Evie covers up and flips Kate on to her back and immediately wraps her hands around Kate's throat, squeezing down on her throat with her thumbs and shaking Kate.

Simone: There's nothing the referee can do about this. There is no DQ.

Evie releases, balls up her fist and drives a wild shot in to Kate's throat, followed by a second.

Adams: Evie said she was gonna try and take away Kate's singing voice and she's trying from the get go!

Evie wraps her hands back around Kate's throat, bringing tears to her eyes, but she reaches up and puts a thumb in Evie's eye. Evie tries to shake it off but Kate puts both thumbs in Evie's eyes and starts to squeeze her hands in a vice like grip around Evie's head, forcing Evie concentration back to defence as she releases the grip around Kate's neck. Evie grabs for Kate's hand but Kate pulls her back towards her with a stinging headbutt. Kate pushes Evie away and scrambles to the corner, pulling herself up as Evie shakes off the headbutt. Evie charges at Kate, attempting a dive to the midsection but Kate jumps up over Evie and flips her over with a yoshi tonic! Evie immediately rolls through without getting counted down and jumps in the air with a huge knee to Kate's face as she stays in a seated position, the sound of a bone against bone echoes through the arena.

Adams: That was nasty.

Kate pulls herself in to the corner and stands and Evie runs in to the corner and jumps in the air for a splash but Kate moves out of the way and Evie crashes chest first in to the corner. Kate moves behind and as Evie turns, Kate lifts her in a scoop slam and wrecklessly throws Evie face first on to the ring post.

Simone: Evie missed the turnbuckle and went straight in to the ring post.

Evie turns around as she lands to see a trickle of blood running down her head.

Adams: We're barely in to this and Evie looks like she's bleeding.

Kate smiles as she sees the blood trickle and grabs Evie by the head and runs her face down the top of the ring rope, ripping on the cut and opening it up more, causing the blood to flow more freely down Evie's head. Kate drops Evie to the floor and moves to the corner, ripping the turnbuckle off and throwing it outside the ring. Kate looks down at Evie and pulls her to her feet and puts her in a powerbomb position. Kate lifts Evie up and charges to the corner, throwing her at the exposed turnbuckle with a buckle bomb! Evie's head bounces off the steel ring and she drops to the canvas and Kate quickly goes for the cover and Jasmine drops down to count.

ONE!

TWO!

Evie kicks out

Simone: Kate looked to end that early and get the hell out of dodge.

Evie crawls away but her hand reaches up and touches her head, the warm, sticky blood covering her finger. A twisted smile moves on the Australian's face.

Adams: I think Evie likes it.

Simone: That's messed up.

Evie springs to her feet before Kate can even turn around and jumps in the air with a superman punch, knocking a shocked Kate to the canvas. Evie puts her knee on Kate's chest but Kate wisely keeps a shoulder off the canvas. Evie reaches down and digs her nails in to the top of Kate's forehead and starts to scratch down towards her eyes. Kate smartly closes her eyes but Evie digs her nails in deep in to Kate's flesh.

Adams: There's something demonic about Evie tonight.

Simone: It's like she just don't care.

Evie rolls off of Kate and rolls to the outside and moves under the ring, pulling out a steel chair and sliding it in to the ring. She reaches under the ring and pulls out another and rolls in the ring with it. As Kate gets to her feet, Evie drives the chair down on top of Kate's head, sending her back to the canvas. Evie stands over Kate and lifts the chair up and drives it down across her throat!

Adams: That was sick.

Evie stands up and sets the chairs up, the fronts of the chairs forming a bridge. Evie steps back as Kate gets to her feet and runs towards her. Evie jumps in the air with a switchblade, crashing Kate back on the the set up chairs, both chairs crumbling on impact. Evie drops down, going for the pin and hooking Kate's leg. Jasmine drops down to count.

ONE!

TWO!

Kate throws a shoulder up.

Simone: The sound of Kate's back on those chair was sickening.

Evie wipes the blood from her forehead as she gets to her feet and pulls Kate to her feet. Evie whips Kate at the ropes but Kate flies over the top head first, her head and neck getting caught in between the middle and second rope.

Adams: Kate is in real trouble! The ropes are choking her!

Evie smirks and slides out of the ring. She quickly grabs hold of Kate's legs and jumps, pushing her feet off the ring apron, her weight hanging down and pulling Kate's neck tighter in the ropes.

Simone: Evie's lost her mind!

With Jasmine's help, Kate falls to the apron and rolls in the ring, leaving Evie to land on her feet. Kate lays motionless in the ring and Evie looks under the ring, pulling out a table. She sets it up and reaches down for another table, pulling it out from under the ring and setting that up side by side with the other. Evie turns back towards the ring but Kate Steele drives through the ropes with a suicide dive, chair in hand and connects the metal to the top of Evie's head, the sound of metal on skull being heard clearly in the arena.

Adams: I think I'm gonna be sick.

The blood runs down Evie's head and Kate gets to her feet. She reaches down and grabs Evie by the hair and throws her on the commentary table.

Adams: Hey! My coke!

Kate picks Evie up and holds her head back and starts to drill her hand in to Evie open cut. Kate kicks Evie in the gut and pulls her head in between her legs. Kate tries to lift Evie up for a piledriver but Evie wiggles her legs and lands back on her feet. She lifts Kate over her back but Kate lands on her feet on the commentry table. Kate spins Evie around and grabs her head before diving off the commentary table and crashing though both tables with a diamond cutter!

Simone: Oh my God! Kate just nailed Evie with a diamond cutter through the tables after jumping from out table!

Adams: There might not be any rules, but she still needs to pin Evie in the ring.

Both women lay motionless for a few second and Evie starts to crawl away, but Kate grabs her ankle but Evie kicks her foot back and catches Kate in the head. Evie continues to crawl and uses the timekeepers table to pull herself up. Kate moves behind her but Evie spins around and nails Kate in the head with the ring bell. Instantly, blood starts to pour from Kate's head!

Simone: Now Kate Steele is busted open.

Adams: Real bad too.

Kate crawls away, blood pours from a visibly open cut on her forehead. Evie tries to steady herself for a second as Kate moves towards the ring. Evie moves towards Kate, but Kate spins on to her back and unleashes foam from a fire extinguisher in Evie's face. Evie stumbles back as Kate gets to her feet, blood running in both women's eyes and Kate charges at her, crashing the fire extinguisher on Evie's head! Evie drops to the floor and Kate goes under the ring, looking for more objects of torture. Kate pulls out a bag and rolls it in the ring, she reaches under and grabs a trashcan and throws it in to the ring, before pulling out a two by four, wrapped in barbed wire.

Simone: Oh come on! Who leaves one of those under the ring?

Adams: More to the point, why would someone make one of those?

Kate throws it in the ring, bouncing off the chairs still in the ring. She move over to Evie, only to be met with a wrench in the head!

Adams: This ring crew really need to take their tools with them when they're done.

Kate moves back towards the ring, but Evie nails Kate in the back of the knee with the wrench. Kate drops to the floor and Evie just viciously kicks Kate in the bloodied face. Evie drops the wrench and picks Kate up and rolls her in to the ring. Evie follows her in the ring, the blood dying on her face and she reaches for her belt, quickly unbuckling it. As Kate gets to her knees, Evie whips the belt across Kate's back!

Simone: I have never seen anyone get whipped with Gucci before.

Evie picks the belt up and slams it down hard on Kate's back before wrapping it around her throat and pulling her to her feet. Evie walks backwards and drags Kate with her, standing on the bottom rope and choking Kate. Evie steps up to the next rope, pulling Kate with her, before standing on the top rope. Kate gets her feet on the bottom rope, but Evie forces her off.

Simone: Evie is just hanging Kate Steele right now.

Adams: With Gucci!

Kate swings her legs back and lands on the second rope, she reaches up and grabs Evie by the head and flips her off the top rope! Evie crashes hard in to the middle of the ring and Kate quickly jumps off the second rope and reaches down for the barbed wire two by four. As Evie gets up, Kate slams it down on her head, causing blood to start flowing again from Evie's head!

Adams: I think the ref might have to stop this.

Jasmine looks closely as Evie rolls on to her stomach and Kate lifts the two by four again and slams it down on to Evie's back, cuts starting to open up on the Australian bombshell's flesh.

Simone: This is sick to watch.

Kate moves towards the bag she threw in the ring earlier and pulls the zipper down, and reaches in, pulling out a guitar string. She moves over to Evie and plants a knee in her bleeding back, and puts the string around her neck, pulling back on it.

Adams: Those things are dangerous, they might look like a flimsy string, but that could leave perminant damage.

Jasmine moves in to check to see if Evie wants to quit but Evie shakes her head. Kate pulls back tighter but Evie pushes herself to her knees, pushing herself on to her feet. Evie glances behind her and turns a little, dropping backwards and driving Kate through the trashcan! Kate releases the guitar string from around Evie's neck and Evie moves away and looks around the ring. She picks up a chair, still left in the ring from earlier and puts it on Kate's face. Evie quickly moves to the ropes and quickly climbs on the second turnbuckle. She jumps off with a double foot stomp on the chair, crushing Kate's face under the chair, while on the trashcan.

Simone: Evie could have broken Kate's face there!

Kate pushes the chair off to see her face bleeding once more, the dry blood replaced with fresh blood, rolling backwards in to her hair. Evie looks towards the bag Kate brought in to the ring and moves towards it. Evie opens the bag and reaches in, pulling out another bag and peering inside. A sick smile crosses Evie's face as she pours the contents of the bag over the ring.

Adams: Thumbtacks?!?!

Simone: We suspect Kate Steele planted that bag earlier, but thumbtacks?

Evie smiles as she looks at Kate on one knee. Every moves towards her but Kate explodes with a spear, driving Evie in to the thumbtacks!

Simone: Oh my God!

Evie rolls around the ring, trying to fight the pain but Kate quickly goes back to the bag, reaching in and pulling out a bottle. The camera moves close to see the bottle of high alcohol content vodka.

Adams: Now's probably not the time to celebrate Kate.

Kate opens the bottle and pours in down on the back of Evie, the alcohol stinging the wounds of Evie, her face grimacing in pain.

Simone: She might have had training to withstand pain but no one can withstand pain with alcohol in to open wounds.

As Evie tries to fight the pain, Kate moves over and grabs a nearby chair. She opens it up slightly and slides it on Evie's arm.

Adams: Kate could be looking to break Evie's arm!

Kate lifts her foot, teasing a stomp, but drops to the mat, taking control of Evie's wrist and sitting back with a Seated Fujiwara Armbar, pushing the chair in to Evie's arm!

Simone: Shipwrecked! Kate's got Shipwrecked locked in!

Adams: With a chair too, she's finished off so many people with this move!

Jasmine drops down, looking at Evie, as Evie hovers her hand above the canvas. Evie looks like she's about to tap but at the last second, reaches for a hand full of thumbtacks and throws them in Kate's face, breaking the hold!

Simone: I think one might have gone in Kate's eye.

Kate stands on her feet, wiping her face but Evie springs to hers and spins Kate around. Evie kicks Kate in the gut and hooks up her arms and lifts her in, planting her head first in to the thumbtacks with a double arm implant DDT! Evie quickly gets to her feet and looks down on Kate as Kate rolls over, thumbtacks stuck in her head amongst the dried and fresh blood. Evie smiles and reaches down to Kate and pulls her up by the hair. Evie marches her to the corner and lifts her upside down and wraps her in a tree of woe. Evie reaches in to her pocket and pulls out...

Adams: A pen?

Evie takes the pen and starts to force it up Kate's nose as she hangs upside down and Evie steps back for a running start.

Simone: Come on! Wrestling is wrestling, but if she's gonna do what I think she's gonna do, that's not wrestling, that murder, she could drive that thing in to her brain.

Evie starts a run up but stops in her tracks as Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire slide in the ring.

Adams: I never thought I'd be glad to see The Gemstones.

The Gemstones form a barrier between Evie and Kate, but Sapphire drops something in front of Kate. Evie stands with her hands on her hips just looking at the three in front of her as cheers as heard.

Simone: It's Odette Stevens and she's not alone.

Odette Stevens quickly jumps over the barrier along with Charlotte Elliot and Mackenzie Page of London Underground, each quickly sliding in the ring and forming a barrier in front of Evie. Mackenzie looks across the group and nails Ruby in the head with a right hand, Odette quickly tackles Sapphire and Charlotte making a dive at Emerald.

Adams: This has turned in to a mass brawl.

Odette, Charlotte and Mackenzie back the Gemstones with the backs to the rope and charges at them.

Simone: Triple clothesline!

The Gemstones fly over the top ropes and the women of London Underground follow. Odette turns to wink at Evie before holding on the the top rope and flying over the top, crashing in to all three members of The Gemstones.

Adams: Odette's still got it!

As the six outside the ring brawl up the ramp, Kate frees herself and picks up what what Sapphire dropped. Kate opens it as the camera moves in to see power in the package. Kate crawls herself to the middle of the ring, where Evie stands.

Simone: I think we know where this is headed.

Before Kate can get near Evie, Evie takes half a step back, charges and smashes Kate in the face with a drive by kick, sending the powder flying in the air and in to Kate's own face!

Adams: Svetlana!

Evie looks down at the thumbtacks and drags Kate's body over them before dropping down in to a crossface.

Simone: Crossing Jordan! Evie is using her husbands finisher.

Adams: This is ironic, Kate Steele is a submission wrestler, not Evie.

Simone: I think that's the point Jason.

Evie pulls back deep, putting all the weight she can on Kate, pressing down hard and forcing thumbtacks in to Kate's body. Kate raises a hand, trying to fight it but can't and taps out!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner.... Evie Jordan!

Simone: Evie Jordan has done it! She's beat Kate Steele.

Adams: That wasn't a wrestling match Belinda, that was a straight up war.

Simone: No doubt that will now push Evie back to the front of the line when it comes to the SCW Bombshell World championship!




When Wolfslair lost the World Mixed Tag Team titles to Sass N Bash, they were a mere one week short of tying the record for longest reign held by Team Eggplant. But the fact was that Johanna Krieger and Alex Jones were a team that put the Mixed Tag division back on the minds of many. And despite the Wolfslair was a stable, they did not take the easy road for defenses by switching out members. From the start of their reign to the end, it was Johanna and Alex the entire way. Many believed that there would be no end to their run, and even though they do not have the gold as of press time, their dominance remained enough on the minds of fans and peers to present them with this well deserved award.




The scene cuts in on Andrea Hernandez who is all alone in the locker room. She draws some heavy boos from the audience, but she really could care less about that. The room is a bit dim as Andrea reflects on everything that has happened with her in the last year. She's doing her best to maintain her composure, but it's clearly obvious that she's in an aggravated state of mind. Once she realizes that the cameras are rolling, she begins to express her thoughts.

Andrea: My... how things change in a year. Last year at High Stakes? I was in a match with Bella Madison. I won that match against Bella Madison because... DUH of course I did! Bella wasn't even all that and never quite lived up to the hype, but that's enough about her. I want to talk about everything that has happened since I defeated her. I had my first loss almost right away after that... which wasn't fun. I had my first taste of the main event to close out the year and I was quite disappointed in my placement. But, four months later, on Easter Sunday no less, I won my first world championship... and I don't need to go into what happened after that. There was the death of my father, the summer of hell and everyone in this locker room mocking me and putting me down, NOBODY being there for me when I was clearly hurting and dealing with a lot of shit and eventually, I decided that I had enough with pretending. I was tired of being the 'good girl'. I was tired of being the one that was ostracized and hated for no fucking reason other than being more successful than some of you two-faced bitches around here. And through it all, there has been ONE constant in ALL of this... and you know exactly who I am talking about...

Andrea pauses for a moment, her anger getting worse as she obviously begins to think about Christina Rose, much to her reluctance and to her anger.

Andrea: I'm not even going to say her name anymore. In fact, I hate her so fucking much that I can't even stand to say it or even think it. From the moment that she said that she saw herself in me, I've disliked this woman. And over time, ever since then, it has slowly developed into the hatred that it has. Tonight, I get to purge all of my hatred out on her and I FINALLY get to move on. I know it's not as simple as that. I get that I have this 'I Quit' match in front of me where FINALLY, I get to settle this with her and move on with my life. People have been asking me why I've held such hatred for her and those that ask me this, I pose this question to you. How would you feel if someone that you never wanted in your life tried to force her way in, hmm? How would you feel if that someone, no matter WHAT you did, wouldn't just leave you the fuck alone? How would you feel if that person was SO damn overbearing that you couldn't stand them anymore? How would you feel if that person cut in front of you in line to STEAL what you deserve just like when she did such a thing on the night that she stole my moment from me? Sure, I got it eventually when I beat her for the world title... but it wasn't the same.

My moment was facing Roxi for the world championship

My moment was BEATING HER for the world championship.

...and the BITCH STOLE IT FROM ME! Sure, taking the title off of HER was fucking nice, but it was Roxi that I wanted to win it from... NOT that fucking parasite.

But it's alright... because tonight, it finally ends!

I purge my hatred out on her and it's not going to be pretty... not at all. I'm going to make her suffer as much as possible! The consequences for her EVER interfering with my life and career are going to be so severe that by the time I'm done with her, she not only will be unrecognizable, but she will never be the same again. I will break her fucking spirit, that's what I am going to do. I am going to take whatever dignity she has left over and I'm going to make all her little fangirls... which I'm shocked she even has ANY by the way... and I'm going to make all of them CRY like she's known to do when things don't go her way.

And to the bombshells locker room... I want to make something very clear.

You've done nothing but two-face me! You've done nothing but put me down and try to diminish me at every turn. You've done nothing but mock me for my failures while you try to diminish my success! You're all jealous that I've come in and changed the game better than any Bombshell in recent memory and that's why you've treated me the way you have since the moment I got here. So... through my opponent tonight, I'm going to send you ALL a very clear message: and that message is that she's only the beginning. Once I am doing with her... once my message is sent through her as to how DONE I am with most of you two-faced bitches... I'm coming back for what belongs to me... and when I reign again as world champion, I'll give you a REAL reason to hate me...

But for now...

I purge...

For now... I close the book... and I close it MY way!

For now... I rid her from my LIFE... and it's going to be one HELL of a feeling to move on from the woman that has disgusted me more than anyone I've ever met in this business!

In a perfect world, I'd make her quit not just this match, but all of professional wrestling as well. But I'll take what I can get... and this purge? It's only just the beginning...

Andrea maintains her cold, angry, calculated demeanor wasting no time shutting out the lights in the room and cuing the scene to fade to black.




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

Justin: Introducing first, from Phoenix , Arizona and weighing in at one hundred twenty-five pounds, ANDREA HERNANDEZ!!!!

Adams: It's finally here. The I Quit Match between Andrea Hernandez and Christina Rose.

Simone: This is going to get dirty quick!

Meganerd by YTcracker begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Rose makes her way from the back curtain with her fiancee Seleana Zdunich. Christina smiles as she blows kisses to the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She slaps the outstretched hands of all of the roaring fans. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancee. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her future wife.

Justin: And her opponent, weighing in at one hundred fifteen pounds, "The Blossoming Rose" CHRISTINA ROSE!!

Adams: This will be an interesting match to see Christina in. She doesn't usually go hardcore much.

Simone: Sometimes, circumstances drag you from your comfort zone kicking and screaming. We'll see how she responds here tonight!

DING DING DING!

Andrea Hernandez smirks as Christina Rose staretches, glaring across the ring. Andrea motions at Christina to bring it on and the Blossoming Rose obliges her. Christian charges across the ring and goes for a dropkick only for Andrea to step aside and wave her hand so that Christina ends up crashing ass first against the turnbuckles. Andrea runs over and hits a basement dropkick to the face. Christina tumbles out of the corner and Andrea grabs the top rope to hit a slingshot corkscrew leg drop. Andrea grabs Christina by the throat and starts to choke her down on the mat. Referee Drew Patton comes over with the microphone.

Drew: Do you wanna give it up, Christina, what do you say?

Christina throws her legs up without answering and takes Andrea over into an arm-in triangle. Andrea grabs her wrist with her free hand and picks up Christina, swinging her into the corner for a makeshift buckle bomb. Christina is knocked loose and Andrea hits a big overhead belly to belly suplex. Christina hits hard and Andrea jumps on ehr to start choking her down again.

Drew: Christina, what do you say? Do you quit?

Christina: NO!

Andrea squeezes harder and Christina starts to flail underneath her.

Drew: Christina, what do you say?

Christina swings her leg up and kicks, catching Andrea in the side of the head. Andrea falls by the ropes and tumbles to the over the edge to the floor.

Adams: Andrea's literally going for the throat every time!

Simone: It makes sense given everything that's happened in the last few months with Christina.

Christina sits up coughing and scrambles to her feet. Andrea starts to stand up on the floor. Christina runs over and goes into a tumbling pass that ends with a handspring moonsault over the top rope out onto the floor. She crashes down onto Andrea, smashing her down onto the cold, hard concrete floor below. Christina grabs Andrea by the head and starts to bounce her off the floor. Andrea punches up to try and stop her and Christina releases her grip. Christina grabs Andrea by the hair and rolls over for a modified camel clutch. Andrea kicks at Christina's face, catching her in the mouth. Christina loses her grip and falls over, bleeding from the lip. Andrea grabs a chair under the ring and gets to her feet. Christina gets up and hits a spin kick to the chair, knocking it back into Andrea's face. Andrea goes down, now also bleeding. Christina jumps on and starts choking Andrea down the way Andrea was choking her before.

Drew: What do you say, Andrea? You wanna give it up?

Andrea: Fuck you!

Christina continues to try and squeeze the life out of Andrea and Andrea starts to knee her way out. She smashes her knee into Christina's midsection repeatedly. Christina loses her grip and Andrea grabs the chair, smashing it over Christina's head. Christina falls back, bleeding from a second place by her hairline. Andrea takes the chair and puts it around Christina's neck before going off in search of a second weapon. She finds another chair and brings it over.

Drew: I can stop this, Christina, do you wanna give it up?

Before any answer can be given, Andrea shoves Drew out of the way and raises the chair up. Christina kicks her between the uprights and Andrea drops the chair, her eyes going wide in shock and pain. Christina pulls the chair off from around her neck and jumps up into a back cracker. Andrea falls to the floor and Christian grabs the first chair putting it around Andrea's beck. Andrea kicks wildly to stop her from proceeding and throws the second chair so that it bounces off Christina's head. Christina falls to her knees, stunned by the sudden impact. Andrea finds an extension cord under the ring and grabs it. She unwraps the coil just enough to slip it around Christina's throat and pull it tight

Adams: My God, she's gonna...

Simone: This could be bad, yes.

Christina reaches for help that is not coming as Andrea pulls tighter.

Drew: Come on, Christina, I can stop her right now. Do you wanna give it up?

Andrea pulls tighter and tighter and Christian starts to thrash about. The two lnd just under the ring skirt and Christina throws about, knocking Andrea's head against the edge of the underside of the ring. Christina swings over and Andrea bounces off the leg of the ring and slack comes . Christina pulls free and rolls off as Andrea lies there under the ring. Christina sits up clutching at her throat and coughing again. Andrea comes out from under the ring skirt bleeding all over the place. Christina gets to her feet, Andrea following. The two turn to face each other and glare hatefully at one another. Andrea starts to say something, Christina retorts. Andrea punches Christina. Christina punches back and the two start trading, Andrea, Christina, Andrea, Christina, Andrea, Christina, Andrea, Christina, Andrea, Christina, Andrea, Christina, Andrea, Christina!

Adams: They will beat each other senseless!

Simone: That might be what this takes!

With blood flying with each shot, Andrea kicks Christina low and then knocks her over with a roundhouse back kick to the face. Andrea pulls a flat screen television from under the ring and holds it up so that Christina can see it.

Andrea: Are you ready for your close-up, Miss DeMille?

Christina glares back.

Christina: Go fuck yourself!

Andrea grins and goes to hit Christina with the screen. Christina moves and executes a drop toehold that lands Andrea on the television. Christina grabs the first chair and jabs it at Andrea's neck. Andrea grabs at the chair to stop it and the referee movies into position.

Drew: What do you say, Andrea? You wanna give it up?

Andrea waves him off and Christian pulls the chair up and blasts Andrea in the head with it. Andrea tries to roll over and cover up. Christina rears back and blasts her with the chair again and again and again and again. Christina slaides the chair around Andrea's neck and grabs the second one.

Christina: Time for YOUR close-up, BITCH!

Christina smashes the second chair down onto the first one and Andrea's head and neck.

Adams: Dear God!

Simone: We're seeing a new side of Christina Rose tonight!

Christina takes the second chair and roses it aside. She garsb Andrea, the first chair still around her neck and opens it just enough to bounce its legs off the ground. Andrea falls to the floor, clutching at her throat. Christina grabs the extension cord and wraps it around Andrea's throat exactly as Andrea had tried earlier. As Christina pulls it tight. Andrea's eyes go wide and she cries out in pain. The referee moves in.

Drew: Do you wanna quit, Andrea?

Andrea tries to both wave him off and pull him in for help as Christina tugs on the cord. The referee backs up so as to avoid that situation. Christina reaches back and finds a screwdriver under the ring. She brings it up and stabs Andrea with the sharp end just above the eye. Andrea screams bloody murder.

Drew: Andrea...?

Andrea: YEEEES!!! I QUIT!!! I QUIT!!!!

Referee Drew Patton calls for the bell and Christina releases her hold on both the cord and the screwdriver.

DING DING DING!

Adams: I...

Simone: Didn't know she had that in her!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, CHRISTINA ROSE!!!!

Christina slowly staggers up, crying tears of joy as the referee raises her hand triumphantly. Her wife, Seleana Zdunich, makes her way out to her and hugs Christina as the crowd cheers her on.




Was there EVER a couple in SCW as dominant as the Jordans? This husband and wife duo each won the World singles championship in their respective division during 2020, and held the gold together as the proverbial "power couple" for a time. When the Jordans were on camera, people took notice. They even teamed together a time or two, and it is the hope of many that Ben and Evie make a move for the World titles again, or perhaps -- the Mixed Tag Team titles? Now THAT would cement their status as the "Golden Couple of SCW"!




In the backstage area it is there where we are able to see former SCU star Todd Williams and he is joined together by that of his new wife Hope Williams. The two of them have smirks on their faces as they approach that of Pussy Willow. Todd smiles as he glares at the woman from head to toe.

Todd: Damn is this how SCW does it?! Can I just say it from the bottom of my heart... WHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT?!

Hope however nudges him as Pussy seems confused and begins to speak to him.

Pussy: Hello this is Pussy Willow and I have a question to ask you. We have seen you on camera earlier and I think the question on everybody's mind is why are you backstage at High Stakes?! Why are you even here?!

Hope however hugs her husband tightly as she looks over at Pussy and cracks a very wicked grin.

Hope: So why are the Williams here?! A lot has definitely happened since my husband was released from his SCU contract. I mean he did manage to marry me, and the two of us did have a baby together and we have little Xavier at home who is quite the cutie. That's not what this is about though

Todd just smirks as he glares deeply into the eyes of Pussy.

Todd: Why am I here?! To be honestly I am here because SCU didn't give a flying fuck about me. Fuck their entire promotion. I am going to be a bit blunt for a moment. They had the nerve to fire me and my daughter over a fucking tweet. It's not like I got a phone call. It's not like they said hey we are releasing you. I found out on social media. That shit is so fucking weak but it's whatever. I have been dwelling in mediocrity really searching for a home since the days that NCW closed its doors seven years ago. That is a long fucking time to not serious be doing anything constructive. Sure I might have had a world title reign in another company but the reality is I just knew I had to be in this fucking company. If men such as Alex Jones can come to this company and immediately become World Champions among other things why can't I come to this company and actually do something as well.

Todd shakes his head as he continues to speak.

Todd: I am the man that MEANS BUSINESS.... HELL TODD MEANS WOO... And I will drive every single Todd-Ism down your fucking throats because I HAVE ARRIVED... So hide your kids and you better hide ALL OF THE WHITE WOMEN... How you doing Roxi what's really good?! And has anybody really banged that Seleana chick yet or what about Sam Marlowe... Got some great looking dimes up in this Bitch!

Hope: AHEM!!!!

Hope slides all up her husband as she makes out with him on television. He laughs as he continues to speak.

Todd: Sorry I guess I get carried away, but the truth of the matter is I am here because I deserve to be here. The reality is I was in SCW once before but it was only for a breath of air. SCU not only disrespected me but they also decided to fire my daughter as well. it's fucking bullshit because I know for a fact that I am a top fucking talent. After all who do you think got Crystal Hilton into wrestling?! My baby momma didn't know anything about wrestling until she was with me! I put that thought into her and she got to witness me winning title after title. She created a huge legacy and I was left to just sit in the shadow because she started to take over. Fuck that noise... It's time I change the narrative on what people think of Todd Williams. It's time I get right back into the fray and I plan to do so in a very big way. It gets no bigger than SCW which is ironic considering it's an Indy company but to be honest it's the biggest company in my eyes. It's a company that is worthy to see me do my very thing.

Todd laughs as he looks at Pussy.

Todd: The best thing about me being here. Is the simple fact that I will do whatever it takes to rain in this Bitch. I bring the cash and I always make it rain!

Todd reaches into his pocket and pulls out $100 bills. He begins to make them rain all over the place as he smiles.

Todd: Babe tell them what I am working with.

Hope: MY husband will make it rain with a Tiger Suplex.

Todd: Mhmm

Hope: Dragon Suplex, German Suplex, T Bone Suplex, Overhead Suplex.

Todd: In other words I am the fucking king of suplexes and when I arrive here I am gonna get what I want when I want and damn sure what I want. Let tonight be the start of something amazing. Now I can sit here and take up all of the television time in the world but it must come to an end. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY BUT I GOT'S TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Hope: TODD MEANS WOO... or in other words HE MEANS FUCKING BUSINESS... Now time to run away with that GET AWAY FROM THE COP SPEED!!!!

Todd: PIZZZOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

With that Todd walks hand and hand with his wife as we go to elsewhere.




J2H can be seen walking through the hallways, now ready for his match. A focused look is on his face as Pussy Willow stops him.

Pussy: J! Can I have a quick word before your match.

J2H: No.

J2H continues to walk but Pussy keeps up her chase, trying to keep up with him as he steps closer to the curtain.

Pussy: I just want to know if you're really serious about giving the Internet championship to Caleb Storms if you win tonight.

J2H stops in his tracks and turns towards Pussy.

J2H: Why the fuck wouldn't I be serious? I said it a while ago, that idiot that I'm about to smack up in the ring like the bitch he is actually went and got it in writing and I'm sure Mark and Christian was laughing their balls off when being approached by him to actually make that official. I'm sure they've been asked some crazy shit but that's probably the stupidest stipulation they've ever heard. I will take his belt Pussy, you can rest easy on that, I will take his pride, I would take his manhood but Kate Steele had that a long time ago.

He smirks.

J2H: You can put everything you own on the fact that very, very soon, Teddy Warren will be an after thought. A year in the making, a year since he had the nerves to call me out is about to be something he will truly regret. Tonight, I go out there and prove no matter what, he will never be the next J2H.... That's real talk bitch!

J2H walks away from Pussy and to the curtain as the camera switches back to ringside.




Referee Dawn Barnes steps inside of the ring, between the middle and bottom rope, taking her place in the near corner as Justin Decent prepares to make the introductions.

Justin: The following contest is for the Internet Championship!

The spotlight hits the curtain as it does the loud sounds of Let Go Control" by Saosin begins to blast across the speakers. The moment it does "The Lyrical One" Teddy emerges from the curtains with a smile on his face accompanied by his wife Diamond.

Justin: Accompanied to the ring by Diamond! At two hundred and fifteen pounds, he is the reigning and defending Internet Champion! Teddy! Steele-Warren!

Teddy smirks as he slowly enter into the ring and takes his robe off. The crowd cheers him loudly and he smirks at them. Diamond smiles clapping for her man.

Adams: Isn't it a little unusual for the champion to come out here first before the challenger?

Simone: It is unusual but not unheard of. Teddy has a point to prove that he has no fear of J2H. Coming out first, for Teddy, proves that.

Justin: And his opponent...!

The lights in the arena drop out to pitch black, before gold and blue lights flash around the top of the entrance as a heavy guitar rift. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung, and from behind the pyros and smoke filling the entrance, emerges a sleek, black 2020 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante!

Simone: What on Earth...?

Walking in front of the first class vehicle is none other than Simpson, and on each side of the car are four more hulking figures, dressed exactly alike in black, fitted Ts and jeans, boots and matching shades over their eyes. They are escorting...

Adams: Look behind the wheel!

Behind the wheel is none other than J2H himself, with his wife Melody in the passenger seat! The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante pulls to a stop just at the entrance aisle and Simpson walks back and opens the driver's side door, and J2H steps foot out and is greeted by cheers, despite his disdain. The shirtless J2H, wearing gold shorts, boots and kneepads with "J2H" written on the back of the shorts, then walks around the car and opens the passenger side and takes Melody's hand, helping her out. A shimmering, strapless white evening gown cascades down Melody's body as she takes J2H's arm and Simpson escorts them toward the ring as Teddy looks on in disbelief!

Justin: Being Accompanied to the ring by Melody and Simpson! From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds, he is the challenger -- J2H!

J2H looks around the crowd before he walks towards the ring with, a confident look on his face. The lights brighten slightly as he gets closer to the ring, stepping up the steps and through the middle of the ropes and in to the ring. He moves towards the center of the ring, putting his arms to either side as gold pyros spit up from the turnbuckles. J2H look to the sky before looking down and around the fans, cockiness dripping from the young man. He turns to his opponent, looking him up and down before the match starts.

Simone: Leave it to J2H to upstage the champion!

Adams: When he makes an entrance, he makes one people will remember!

Teddy breathes deeply and removes the Internet title belt from around his waist and passes it over to Dawn. She in turn shows it to J2H but the cocky challenger waves her away, his eyes only for Teddy himself. Diamond and Teddy share a kiss before Diamond exits the ring, and Dawn calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Champion and challenger emerge from their corners and they circle the ring, J2H with a smug look on his face and Teddy with a hesitant expression on his own. The two men pause and go for the lock up - when Teddy drops and rolls to the outside.

Adams: I guess... he wasn't ready?

Teddy does a series of 'jumping jacks' while J2H stares at him with hands on hips, telling Dawn to get him back in the ring. Dawn goes to the ropes and orders Teddy back inside, but Teddy casually ignores the referee and takes a stroll around ringside as she begins her count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!...

Teddy then rolls back inside of the ring and jumps to his feet, doing the 'bob and weave' boxing dance as J2H stares at him stone-faced. The two men then go for the lock up again, and again Teddy deftly avoids it and rolls to the outside.

Simone: What on earth is he doing??

J2H's calm, cocky composure starts to crack as Teddy accepts a drink of water from Diamond.

Adams: He hasn't even laid a hand on J2H and he needs a break already?

Dawn is counting again, but as she reaches five, Teddy casually hands the water bottle back to his wife and climbs back inside. But as J2H makes an immediate move for him, Teddy rolls right back outside to avoid him.

Simone: Oh come ON!

Diamond smiles and nods as Teddy moves around with a smile, tapping a finger to his forehead. Teddy then turns around -- AND IS WIPED OUT BY J2H DIVING THROUGH THE ROPES!

Simone: THANK YOU J2H!

Adams: I guess he was getting as tired of waiting for teddy to start as we were!

J2H grabs Teddy by the hair and tights and rolls the Internet Champion back inside of the ring. The Hall of Famer then has a word for Diamond before he rolls back inside himself. J2H stands up -- AND IS LAID OUT BY A SUPERKICK!!!

Adams: THAT was Teddy's plan!

J2H goes down like he was shot and Teddy dives on top of him for the cover, hooking BOTH legs!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-KICK OUT!

Simone: It didn't work! He almost caught J2H by surprise but not quite!

Teddy's eyes are wide open and he grabs at Dawn, pleading but she reiterates the count was 'two!' Teddy is right back on his feet, stomping a mud hole into J2H who has been taken by surprise in the early goings of this championship match! Teddy drags him up to his feet and fires him off into the ropes where the champion connects with a picture perfect dropkick!

Adams: Do you think J2H underestimated Teddy?

Simone: That does seem to be a tool that Teddy gladly takes advantage of. He is the champion, after all.

Teddy pulls J2H to his feet and delivers a scoop slam. The champion dances about again before racing into the ropes, jumping high for an elbow smash -- and misses! J2H rolls out of the way!

Adams: You can't be dancing around in there when you're up against someone like J2H!

J2H forces himself back to his feet as Teddy recovers, grabbing his elbow. Teddy moves in and goes to deliver a leaping Enzugari but J2H ducks and Teddy crashes face and chest first! J2H grabs him and drags him upright, but Teddy knocks him back with a forearm smash! Never one to back down from a fight, J2H swings right back with his own forearm to the head, knocking Teddy back! A return shot from Teddy again - and another from J2H!

Adams: This match -- is not going the way I expected!

Teddy then winds up for one more shot and swings -- and J2H catches him in a flying cross arm bar!

Adams: Check that! NOW it is!

Simone: No ring rust on that young man! That was a beauty of a counter from out of nowhere!

Teddy is struggling like a wild man, kicking and thrashing! He knows he is in trouble and he manages to reach the bottom rope with his boot, prompting Dawn to call fore the break! J2H smiles at the referee as she begins to count, and J2H counting along right with her!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!...

And J2H finally breaks rather than risk disqualification! The moment he releases Teddy, the Internet Champion starts to roll to the outside but J2H grabs him, preventing him from making it the entire way! Teddy is on the apron and he attempts a shoulder drive through the ropes but J2H deftly avoids it and he launches himself up and over the Champion, attempting a sunset powerbomb to the ringside floor! Teddy is holding onto the top rope for dear life!

But Teddy breaks loose by stomping down into J2H's sternum, causing the former champion to let go and stagger away, holding his chest! Teddy then gets a running start for a soccer kick, but J2H jumps aside and sweeps his legs out from under him, causing the champion to fall flat on his face on the ring apron!

Adams: The hardest part of the ring, and Teddy just took a nose dive on it!

J2H grabbed Teddy in a front facelock and dangled him precariously over the floor...

Simone: No! No no no!

...And he hits a twisting neck breaker right to the ringside floor! Teddy is OUT and J2H peels him off of the floor and rolls him back inside! J2H slides in and makes the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-!

Adams: Teddy's foot is on the bottom rope!

Simone: Dawn spots it!

Dawn has to break it to J2H who looks at the referee, then at Teddy's boot in disgust. J2H stands up, places his boot right on Teddy's face and scrapes the sole across!

Simone: Such blatant disrespect!

Adams: Disrespect? J2H? Nahhh!

J2H then grabs Teddy by the leg and drags him back to the center of the ring. The challenger sets him up for a Figure 4 -- when Teddy pulls him into an inside cradle!

ONE!

TWO!

Kick out by J2H!

Adams: Teddy almost snuck one in on J2H!

J2H attempts a roundhouse kick but a resilient Teddy swats his hand aside but J2H doubles him over with a return strike and then an axe kick across the back of the head! J2H then grapevines his legs and turns him over into the Texas Cloverleaf!

Simone: He has Teddy trapped in the center of the ring! Is Teddy going to tap out??

Teddy hollers out in pain and reaches for the rope but he is too far away! Dawn is down there in front, asking if he wants to tap. Teddy raises his hand but bites down, restraining himself!

Adams: Teddy is fighting it! He's in pain!

Simone: But credit where it is due, Teddy is NOT giving up!

Teddy props himself up onto his forearms to alleviate the pressure and starts dragging himself closer to the ropes! Slowly, inch by inch, he gets closer until he reaches and grabs the bottom rope!

Adams: He did it! He got to the ropes!

Simone: And now Dawn is forcing the break!

J2H shouts a curse as he reluctantly lets go of the hold! He turns around and stomps down onto Teddy, then dashes off the far side of the ring for a follow up attack -- when Teddy places his boots into J2H's body and LAUNCHES him out over the top and to the floor!

Adams: Teddy just suckered him in!

Simone: And now J2H is down and hurt on the outside of the ring!

Adams: And Dawn is counting!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!...

J2HJ begins to stir!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!...

J2H uses the ringside barricade to drag himself to his feet!

EIGHT!

NINE!...

And J2H DIVES inside, just BARELY breaking the count! Teddy is right there! He grabs J2H up in a front facelock, cradles the leg and--!

Adams: Fisherman buster!

Teddy with the cover and he hooks the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Kick out by J2H!

Adams: SO close!

Simone: J2H is still in this one!

Teddy is back on his feet and he starts doing the Shane-O-Mac dance, his eyes right on J2H who is struggling to rise! The moment J2H is up, Teddy begins peppering him with rapid fire boxing jabs, stunning the former champion! Teddy then kisses his fist and swings -- but J2H ducks under and turns it into a backslide!

ONE!

TWO!

Kick out by Teddy!

Both men are up and POW! Teddy finally lands that wicked right hand shot, laying J2H out! Teddy with the cover!

Adams: He's got him! He has him!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO! J2H kicks out!

Simone: UN-believable!

Teddy pounds the mat in sheer frustration, unable to believe J2H's resiliation! Teddy then gets to his feet and mounts the near corner, facing the fans. He reaches the top and looks back to his downed opponent -- then LEAPS backwards for a moonsault -- and J2H brings up both boots into Teddy's face! Teddy falls back on his feet, dazed! Out! J2H kips up and grabs his arm --!

Simone: KISS THIS!

J2H with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Adams: He did it! He did it!

Justin: Here is your winner, and NEW Internet Champion -- J2H!!!

Dawn presents the championship belt to J2H and raises his arm in the air as the crowd EXPLODES!

Simone: Unbelievable! J2H returns for this challenge and he is the brand new SCW Internet Champion!

Melody is in the ring and she jumps into J2H's arms, embracing him as Diamond checks on her husband.

Adams: My hearing must be super sensitive. I could swear I just heard Caleb Storms go 'YAHOO!'




Evie Jordan had a year that set records and opened eyes. She became the first three-time finalist in the Blast From the Past tournament, and the first two-time winner of that very same Memorial event. That alone proved that Evie is a woman of distinction, but that same young woman moved on to fulfill a personal goal by becoming a two-time World Champion, defeating Andrea Hernandez. Throughout the year, before, during and even after her reign, Evie was virtually unstoppable. She bested every woman who sought to dethrone her, sometimes more than once! Evie definitely has one of the single most impressive singles records of anyone, be it male or female. And should she set her eyes on a third World title reign, the legacy she's set will be one to set goals to!




We are backstage with Pussy Willow who is standing next to Roxi, who is actually crouching, hands clasped together as she stretches out her hamstrings.

Pussy Willow: Roxi, we are only a little while away from you taking on Amber Ryan in a Last Woman Standing match, and I know a lot of things have to be going through your mind right now.

Roxi: Actually... no. Look, PW, I like you and all, but Amber and I just like we're past a wrestling match, we're past talking about fight each other at this point. All I can tell you at this stage, is I'm not going to stop, and I know Amber isn't either. So tonight, this may not end until one of us is crippled, maimed, or both. So, as I said last time, I'm either going to win, or I'm going to die trying. One way or another, tonight... this comes to an end.

Roxi slowly stands up, nods at Pussy Willow and then simply walks past her face full of determination.




The show cuts backstage where we see the catering table. All foods at the table are wrapped separately. A couple SCW crew members (wearing masks) are 6 feet apart as they go through the snacks. Suddenly there are sounds of someone throwing a coughing fit. The two SCW crew members scatter off as former SCW bombshell, Alice Knight walks into the frame in a rose gown dress. Covering her mouth within her arm while she coughs repeatedly.

Alice: Where... where are you going?

Alice turns to look into the camera.

Alice: OH! HOOT! Hey! Yes, it's me. Former SCW bombshell and once upon a time I was the SCW Queen for a Day! Remember that day? I still think it was the highest viewed episode of Climax Control, like, ever... No? Maybe? Who knows. If they only had a way to count the numbers and digits of views for episodes. But that be some weird magical space computer to do that... it's only the year 2020. But saying whacky impossible machines like that out loud will be put me back in the hospital... again.

Alice laughs.

Alice: Nah, I spent some time in the hospital for sniffing, in the doctor lingo, "far too much glue". But those days are done now... I mean, wow. High Stakes 10. It seems like it was just a year ago we were celebrating High Stakes 9... and the year before that... High Stakes... 8? Then 7... and 6... well you get the point. Wow, I'm not one to break out into song but... this feels right...

Alice walks over where a piano is set up with a scruffy looking pianist is sitting on a stool playing a nice gentle piece. A spotlight shines over Alice as she leans on the piano.

Alice(singing):"... High Stakes, High Stakes. The Show among shows for me and you... It's hard to believe another year is through..."

Now a electric guitar player, looking like Slash from Guns and Roses... Turning the song into more of a rock ballad. Alice tears off her dress to reveal a more punk look with fishnets and a leather teddy.

Alice(singing):" SLIPPING THROUGH THE LEAPS OF TIIIIIIIIIME!!"

Alice begins sticking her tongue out and head banging to the music.

Alice(singing): "Roxi Johnson versus Amber Ry'... can you believe it's happening with your eye... ... Lukas defends the belt against Keira tonight...
... who will win the World in this fight...?
"Jack Washington defends the title against James J Mercer...
... if you miss this match you may go berserker... "

Alice begins dry humping the Slash look alike before continuing screaming the vocals.

Alice: "FATHER IS THAT YOU!?!? THROUGH THE HOME MADE BLOOD STEW!!!"
"It's a BOY! It's a GIRL... it's a SOUL... OR IS IT!?!?!

Alice begins screaming in laughter. The lights go red as it goes quiet and she looks up in the sky falling to her knees.

Alice: MOTHER... MOTHER IS THAT YOU!!!??!?!... I HAVE A SECRET FOR YOU EARS AND NOT YOUR EYES... THE MOMENT YOU ARE BORN YOU BEGIN TO DIE!!!

Alice suddenly begins dry heaving while on her knees making the musicians very uncomfortable.

Alice: I'm okay... we're good. We're good...

Alice is helped up by the pianist and covers her up with her torn rose dress.

Alice: Anyway... I am happy to be here again and so far it's been a great show and more to come folks. ENJOY THE HIGH STAKES 10!!

Alice makes a cat hissing noises before walking off screen. From the other side of the shot near the piano appears Royal Purple, GRIME mask glowing brightly as she strides with purpose, folded-up steel chair in hand as she sets after Alice.

Pianist: Uhh...look out!

Royal Purple: You shoulda played Purple Rain bitch!

The dull metallic thud of steel chair connecting with human can be heard from out of shot, the camera not turning to take in the action, and maybe not to give GRIME the satisfaction of one of their own going in on a popular returning star. As a few more sounds of chair, followed by a number of sounds of boot ring out through the corridor, Royal Purple appears, dropping the chair on the ground with a clang.

Royal Purple: Welcome baaaaaack! Was she...hooting?

Royal Purple approaches the piano, the pianist and guitarist watching her warily.

Royal Purple: Well played guys! Just next time make sure you watch your...

She slams the lid covering the piano keys down, trapping the pianist's hands as a random set of notes ring out. He pulls them out, shaking them furiously.

Royal Purple: ...fingers! Thanks for the show!

The scene fades out as Royal Purple walks off down the corridor, leaving the pianist to shake his hands, and the guitarist to question the life choices that wound him up here of all places.




Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is a Last Woman Standing match!!

The crowd lets out a huge pop as the camera focuses on the backstage curtain.

Adams: This is it, Belinda! The final showdown!

Simone: At least for quite some time. What a wild last several months it has been between these two, Jason.

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

Justin: Introducing first...weighing in at one hundred thirty two pounds...From Atlantic City, New Jersey...AMBER RYAN!!

Most cheer in anticipation, but there are few who still jeer due to affiliations or just the fickle nature of a wrestling crowd on any given night. Atop the ramp, the lithe silhouette of the Distorted Angel seems to have materialised, soaking up the crowds reaction and energy. Fans reach out for acknowledgement and wave signs in the same way that others lean out over the rail as much as they dare to yell expletives and empty threats- some get a perceptive nod, a sly wink or perhaps even a kiss blown in sarcasm towards the most derisive. Fluidly, Amber circles the ring- beelining for a camera person before trying to mess with them or talking some shit down into the camera lens.

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

Simone: Win or lose tonight, Jason, Amber Ryan is one intimidating woman and no doubt she will move on to a title opportunity soon enough.

Adams: Agreed! But...which one?!

Justin: And her opponent!

The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begins 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.

Justin: Weight in at one hundred thirty two pounds...From Tampa, Florida! ROXI JOHNSON!!

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.

Simone: Jacob Summer standing between both women now, wanting this to start cleanly. Despite it being a Last Woman Standing Match, he's trying to keep it from getting out of control from the start.

Adams: As soon as that bell rings though...

As if on cue, Jacob Summers calls for the bell, kicking off the match!

DING DING DING!

Both women stand across the ring, staring across the ring at one another. Amber has that devious look on her face and they start circling around the ring, neither making the first move. The each stop in a corner and fire themselves up as the crowd cheers loudly for this final battle between the two rivals.

Adams: Am I the only one that just got chills up their spine, Belinda?

Simone: Absolutely not, Jason. The tension in that ring is just insane, and I fully expected it to explode from the first bell!

Adams: Well, this is the third and final match. They've had time to get everything under control!

Roxi makes the first move, dashing across the ring at Amber! She attempts a clothesline, but Amber ducks, spins around and attempts a big boot to Roxi but Roxi blocks it and then attempts one of her own to which Amber grabs her leg and blocks it, spinning her around! Amber then goes for a clothesline but Roxi ducks and then comes at Amber, getting both hands against her chest and shoving her away with authority!

Simone: You were saying about being under control, Jason?

Adams: Well...I mean, up until that point anyway!

Roxi grins having temporarily gotten the best of Amber and Amber just looks away, anger written over her face before she lunges at Roxi and shoves her back, but Roxi loses her footing and falls right on her backside! Roxi is almost stunned but Amber snaps her fingers and orders Jacob to start counting, to which he does! Roxi just sits there for a moment, staring at her arch nemesis, wasting time as Jacob counts!

Simone: Is he serious? She fell on her backside!

Adams: She's still down...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Roxi quickly stands up and stares at Amber. Amber is taunting her loudly then motions her hand for Roxi to come at her and Roxi does! Amber catches her and goes for a scoop slam but Roxi flips her way out of it them charges at Amber, taking her down with a powerful clothesline! The back of Amber's head bounces off the canvas and she's temporarily dazed as Roxi now looks to Jacob, pointing to the fact that Amber is down and he begins the second count of the match!

Adams: Now Roxi got her back.

Simone: Only for a moment...

ONE!

TWO!

Amber shakes her head for a quick moment and when Roxi turns her back for a quick second, Amber kips up back to her feet, smirking as she turns and glares at Roxi, taunting her as if saying she needs to do better than that! Roxi shakes her head and charges at Amber who takes Roxi down with a double leg take down! But Roxi rolls back and quickly gets back to her feet and again charges at Amber, but Amber grabs her and whips her against the ropes!

Simone: Roxi rebounding off the ropes now!

Adams: She needs to think fast or...too late...

Roxi comes flying back and Amber and takes her down with a flying forearm! She gets back to her feet quickly and runs against the opposite set of ropes only to hit Amber with a leg drop across the throat! Roxi gets back up to her feet again as Amber holds her throat and Jacob starts to count again!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Simone: She's going to need to do worse than that, but at least she's wearing her down.

Amber slowly pushes herself back up to her feet, though slightly uneasy in her footing. When Roxi comes back at Amber, Amber starts to fight back and blocks an uppercut, then follows it up with a forearm to the side of Roxi's head! Roxi stumbles back but Amber doesn't let up and delivers a big boot to the gut! Roxi stumbles back further against the ropes and Amber takes her by her head, spins her around and tosses her through the second rope, dumping her to the outside!

Adams: Oh no! Not good for Roxi!

Simone: She landed hard. She could be seriously hurt.

Roxi crashes hard against the floor and Jacob quickly exits the ring and over to Roxi, with Amber stepping through the ropes as well! Roxi has her leg propped up but she's not getting back to her feet quickly and Jacob starts his count, as Amber begins searching under the ring, much to the delight of the fans!!

Adams: Let the use of weapons begin!

Simone: I can only imagine what she plans to use.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Amber tosses a few chairs from out under the ring, still looking for her weapon of choice! Roxi is on her knees as Amber reaches in further under the ring!

FOUR!

FIVE!

Simone: Oh...Oh no!

As the fans closest to Amber get a good view of what Amber has a hold of, they cheer even louder! Roxi is finally back to her feet and the count stops as Amber ups up a sledgehammer, turning to face Roxi, who has her back to Amber and is trying to get steadier on her feet! Amber grips the handle of the sledgehammer tightly with both hands and stalks her way over to Roxi. She begins to raise it, ready to bring it swinging down across Roxi's back, but Roxi spins round then delivers a boot to the midsection and Amber drops the sledgehammer!

Adams: Roxi just saved her back. Literally.

Simone: Indeed. If Amber had done what she was planning, it could have crippled Roxi!

Roxi takes Amber by a fistful of hair, spins her around and sends her flying face first into the steel ringpost! Amber flies back and collapses to her knees, before falling back right on her back, breathing heavily! Roxi steps over her and Jacob starts his count directly by Amber!

Simone: Ouch! That hurt!

Adams: And you weren't the one that felt it!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Roxi reaches down and picks up one of the steel chairs that Amber had pulled from under the ring and turns around, staring at Amber. Hoping her rival will stay down, she grips it as if expecting her to get back up, which Amber slowly does!

Adams: She's got a steel chair! Wooo!

Simone: Not a good sign for Amber!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

As Amber gets up to one knee and is about to push herself back to her feet, Roxi is back on her and brings the steel chair crashing across Amber's back, breaking the count! Amber arches her back and the look on her face says it all but she somehow jolts back to her feet, stumbling forward towards the ramp leading backstage! Roxi grabs another steel chair and follows her, but one muscle spasm sends Amber down to her knees and in trouble!

Simone: Roxi is really taking it to Amber right now! The amount of pain she has to be in...

Adams: Hey, they knew what they signed up for with this!

Roxi stops just feet away from Amber and unfolds both chairs, setting them up against one another! The crowd cheers loudly, getting a sense of what Roxi is planning to do and she finally walks over to Amber, pulling her back to her feet! She delivers an elbow to the center of her spine for good measure, and has to hold Amber up from crashing right back down! She then drags Amber closer to the chairs and starts setting her into position for a powerbomb!

Simone: Oh. Oh, no. Don't do this Roxi! I know you hate each other, but..

Adams: Amber would do the same exact thing! You do whatever you have to!

The crowd is absolutely nuts at this point and when Roxi grips Amber and goes to deliver the powerbomb, Amber stops it! Roxi attempts it again only for Amber to power out of it and shove her away! Amber nearly drops back down to her knees as Roxi lunges back at her, but Amber catches her right into position and delivers a suplex crashing right over the steel chairs! This leaves BOTH women down, but Roxi taking the brunt of the damage from landing across the chairs! And Jacob starts the count for BOTH women!

Simone: Good Lord! Amber sacrificed herself to use Roxi's own plan against her!

Adams: I saw that coming..

Simone: Oh shut up, Jason!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Amber and Roxi are both breathing heavily, looking up at the ceiling lights, unable to move most of their body. Their heads are right by the other and they each turn their head to look at the other. Somehow both women crack smiles and let out sarcastic laughter!

Adams: What the...??

Simone: They're...laughing?! How is this even remotely funny?!

Adams: The hell they've put each other through the last several months...

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Roxi rolls towards Amber, but Amber punches her away so Roxi rolls the other direction and both women start to push themselves up at the same time! But Roxi is slower!

Simone: They need to do something and soon!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

Adams: Amber's up!

Amber is the first back to her feet and shortly after, Roxi is on her feet, though hunched over! Amber is leaning against the barricade, staring at Roxi almost dazed. Both women are exhausted as they put each other through hell, again, neither one wanting to lose this final battle between them! Amber turns and begins stumbling her way backstage, but Roxi isn't about to let her get away that easily, so she follows behind!

Simone: Amber is trying to get away! Why?!

Adams: She needs a breather...

Amber pushes herself through the curtain, and puts her hands on her hips as she tries to gather her strength back. She thinks Roxi is still in the ramp way, but a few seconds later, Roxi dashes through the curtain and clobbers Amber from behind! Amber flies forward, crashing into a large equipment box and Roxi follows it up by slamming her face first against the top of the equipment box! Amber slouches over it and Roxi takes a step back to gather her own strength as everyone backstage gets an up close and personal view of this incredible match!

Adams: How much longer can they go? Their bodies are exhausted!

Simone: Yeah but neither will stay down! They refuse to give up!

Roxi props herself up against the wall, taking in a few deep breaths as Amber slowly stirs. She had her palms placed against the top of the equipment box and she shakes her head. She holds the middle of her back as she tries to stand up straight and when she turns around, Roxi charges at her, trying to spear her right back against the equipment box! But Amber darts out of the way and Roxi crashes against the box and it goes flying forward and Roxi is now down for the count!

Adams: Roxi's out! She went head first into that equipment box!!

Simone: This has to be it, Jason. It has to be!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Amber has a sick smile on her face as she sees Roxi lay there, face down on the ground, barely moving. Roxi's eyes are open and she just blinks, almost as if she has no idea of her surroundings! Amber prepares for victory!

Simone: She tried so hard, but it just wasn't enough.

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Adams: Wait! Look! It ain't over yet!!

Roxi's arms move, planting her palms against the floor for support. Amber shakes her head as Roxi slowly and unsteadily, pushes herself up to her knees, but the count is getting dangerously close!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

NINE!

Simone: Unbelievable! How is she able to get up sfter that!

Adams: Amber is thinking the same thing!

Roxi is just about to her feet when Amber breaks it and delivers a boot to the head! Roxi collapses right back down, but Amber reaches down and pulls a near dead weight Roxi back up to her feet, dragging her down the hall as everyone watches! Roxi tries to fight back, but she simply doesn't have the strength! Eventually Amber kicks open a door leading to a supply closet and shoves Roxi inside! She begins assaulting Roxi, trying to finish her off as Jacob stands outside the door, waiting.

Simone: What the hell is she doing now?

Adams: Improvising...

As Amber continues her beat down of Roxi, she doesn't see Roxi's hand reaching for and grabbing a hammer nearby! Amber backs away and as she prepares to finish roxi off with a boot to the head, Roxi swings the hammer and hits Amber right in the knee! Amber cries out and drops down, holding her knee, but the damage may have been done! She slides back and reaches up to the door handle, trying to pull herself back to her feet- or one good leg as it would seem and she's blocking Jacob from getting inside the closet!

Simone: Amber's knee could be broken, Jason! Someone has to stay down! Enough with the pride...

Roxi is reaching up, trying to use the shelving as leverage to get back to her feet, as Amber glares at her! Amber hops around on one leg, trying to shake feeling back into it and as Roxi is just about back on her feet, Amber has had enough! She grabs a mop, breaking the handle over her good knee, then hits Roxi across the midsection with it, tossing it back down to the floor. She looks around the mid-sized closet, getting an idea before she grabs a hold of the shelving unit to her right and pulling on it!

Adams: TIIIIMBER!

Simone: Oh no! This is NOT good at all!!

Things start falling off the shelves until the shelving unit itself comes crashing down over Roxi, and Amber quickly does the same with the opposite set of shelves! Roxi is BURIED under the rubble and she steps to the side so Jacob can start his count!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

Simone: Carnage. Absolute carnage is the only way I can describe this.

Adams: Something like that. But I love it!!

Amber smirks, knowing there is no way Roxi can make it out of this situation by the final count! She leans against the door frame, folding her arms and favoring her knee, as she looks at the mess she has made!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

Adams: Look! Roxi is still alive!

Simone: I can't believe this!

Jacob doesn't see it, but Roxi's hand reaches out from a space in the rubble and the shelving unit moves slightly! Amber stomps kicks some of the debris and Roxi's hand disappears!

Simone: Aaaand that was it...

NINE!

TEN!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner...Amber Ryan!!!!

Jacob raises Amber's hand as she continues smirking! She yanks her arm away moments later and stumbles her way out of the closet where she loses her footing and collapses to the floor. As Jacob tries to check on Roxi under the rubble, SCW officials and medical personnel rush to check on Amber and help her back to her feet.

Simone: What an incredible way to end this war between these two women! Roxi refused to give up, but ultimately Amber got the better of her!

Adams: Yeah she had to BURY her to win!

Simone: I mean, it's within the rules, Jason. Still. What an incredible match.




When Ben Jordan outlasted five other men in the Elimination Chamber to become the World Heavyweight Champion, he realized a personal goal and a dream. He also silenced his own worst critic; himself. By his own admission, Ben believed that perhaps his best was in the past, and either his record in ACW or his tag team past would be what he was best known for. But such was not the case when Ben claimed the World Heavyweight title for his own. He held the title for seven months and thirteen days, the third longest reign in SCW history. "The Cockney King" avoided nobody, putting the title on the line against everyone from Fenris to current champion Jack Washington. And even since losing that title, Ben has not slowed down. When Ben first campaigned that #BenDeservesBetter, who knew it would blow up into something like this? One person did; Ben Jordan.




Fenris is spotted backstage at the Orleans Arena, standing at one of the refreshment stands set up for the needs of everyone; staff and competitor alike. Fenris just fishes a bottled water from the ice chest when he hears...

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Fenris? Oh Fenris!

He takes a pull from his water when he side eyes who is fast approaching and he huffs in annoyance, rolling his eyes quite noticeably.

Fenris: O fjandinn...

As Ms. Rocky Mountains fast approaches with microphone in hand. Fenris practically slams the water down on the table's surface as he turns to the reporter and leans back against the edge of the table.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Fenris, I just wanted to say, along with everyone else, how excited we are to see you return to Sin City...

But Fenris frowns and holds a hand up swiftly, interrupting her.

Fenris: Biddu! Haltu upp!

Ms. Rocky Mountains blinks as he holds his hand out and shakes his head.

Fenris: Who said I returned?

The comely reporter blinks, then looks around as if this was some joke, but returns her attention to the man in front of her.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well... I mean, you were just...

Fenris raises his brow, waiting...

Ms. Rocky Mountains: You were just judging and officiating two Sin City Underground matches...

Fenris: Yeah? So? Is what I was brought here to do. Biggest show of the year, they wanted the biggest surprise.

He winks.

Fenris: As for SCW and 'returning'...

He shrugs and jets out his bottom lip, shaking his head before he looks to her.

Fenris: I have not signed anything.

He picks up his water and walks off camera, leaving Ms. Rocky Mountains watching after him in startled surprise.




We are backstage with Jack Washington, world title strapped tightly around his waist. He wears the all-too-familiar annoyed look on his face as Pussy Willow attempts to interview him.

Pussy Willow: I'm standing by with -

Jack instantly puts his hand over the microphone, cutting Pussy Willow off. He uses his other hand to gently take the microphone out of her hand, and then shoos her away.

Jack Washington: I don't know why they hired you, but... actually, I can see why they hired you. You can move along, hunny. Get out of my camera shot.

Pussy Willow scoffs until Jack coldly stares at her and she takes the advice and walks off. Jack turns to face the camera.

Jack Washington: Finally. Finally tonight, I can finally wash away all this nasty ass dirt that's on me having to deal with Austin James Mercer. Austin, you big goober piece of trash, et's just get two things straight. One, you are not READY to go one one one with the champ, and two, you damn sure ain't worthy. You win some contender's match and here you are, griming up the scene with your nasty filth. It's been like a bad dream this entire time, and I cannot wait until I beat you, AGAIN. And I retain my championship, AGAIN. And you are out of my life for the foreseeable future. I will prove to you, and to everyone else who still hasn't got it yet, I AM THE MAN AROUND HERE. I can do it all, and do it all better than your favorite. Look, I'm handling fan questions, I'm doing interviews better than the staff, and beating people who claim to be the best. I am the complete package, the face of this franchise. Tonight is just another example of my greatness. Watch me, and watch me put the finishing touches on Wolfslair. That's what big time players do, in big time situations. See? Done.

Jack tosses the microphone back to Pussy Willow just off screen, before walking away.




Justin: The following contest is for one fall and is for the SCW World Heavyweight championship, introducing first, the challenger...

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

Justin: From Manhattan, New York, weighing in at two hundred and seixy five pounds, he is Austin James Mercer!

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

"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.

Justin: And his opponent!! Standing in at 6'1 and weighs in at 235 pounds!! He is th e SCW World Heavyweight Champion!! Jack Washington!!!

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang as Jasmine tells both Austin and Jack to get it on, two men with two different styles and mindsets. But both men have one goal in mind, to walk out the world champion after tonight is over. Jack is hesitant to get it on in a power struggle with Austin, knowing that the former champion has him beat in that category. Trying to lure him in to make a mistake for him to capitalize upon.

Simone: Both men are clearly reluctant to get it on right away

Adams: Neither men want to make the first mistake where the other will take advantage upon.

Jack extends his hand towards Austin while remaining a few feet away, Austin extends his towards Jack before the champion pulls away and backs off. Shaking his head and telling Austin that he will not get him that easily as the former champion is grinning without even allowing Jack to get under his skin. Both men circle each other for a few moments, only to have Austin suddenly quicken the pace and attempt to reach for one of Jacks legs, only to have the champion get to a neutral corner and overthink things as Austin motions towards him to bring it.

Simone: Both men are attempting to use psychology to get to the other man

Adams: But so far I don't think it's working.

Jack slaps his chest and arms for a few moments while walking out of the corner and circling Austin, before going for a single leg take down upon the former champion. Grabbing the leg as he tries to lift him up, but Austin uses a forearm blow to drop the champ to one knee. He quickly grabs him by the waist in an attempt to execute a Guttwrench suplex, but Jack quickly manages to avoid Austin being able to lock both hands around his waist and escapes his grip as he watches him from the corner once again. This time Austin smirks again and rubs his hands, telling the champ that he is prepared for this match.

Simone: I am curious if Austin is capable to out think the champ.

Austin slowly moves in towards Jack in the corner, causing the champion to roll out of the ring underneath the bottom rope and walks around the six sided ring as Jasmine starts to use the ten count on him.

ONE!

TWO!

She stops at two as Austin rolled out of the ring as well, running towards the champ as he has gotten back into the ring and awaited for Austin to get in as well and drives a knee into the side of his ribs

Adams: Jack suckered him into make a mistake, now can the champ capitalize???

Jack is relentless, driving series of knees into the ribs as well as driving his shin protector into the open body area of the number one contender. Not allowing Austin to get a chance to get to his feet as he drives a few elbows into his back, causing Austin to drop to the canvas on his stomach before sitting on top of the challenger. Driving his knee into his back while locking his hands around the chin and pulls back on Austin's head. Jasmine is in front of Austin as to check whether he can continue the match or wishes to submit, but Austin refuses before planting both hands on the canvas and attempts to push his upper body off the canvas while having the entire weight of the world champion on his back as well as pulling on his head and having his back in an awkward position. Jack's eyes can be seen bulging out of his head as he cannot believe what Austin is attempting to do to break the hold.

Simone: The champ is finding out what so many other superstars have realized in past matches, that Austin has a lot of strength and is capable to withstand a lot of pain!!!

Austin gets to his hands and knees and is attempting to get up, but Jack lets go off the hold and drops an elbow into the lower back region of the challenger. As this causes Austin to drop down hard once more before Jack grabs his arm and drags him to the middle of the ring and goes for the cover.

ONE!

Austin kicks out with authority, only to have Jack grab him by the head and locks him in a reverse chinlock. Putting all of his weight on the neck of Austin, who after a few moments attempts to get to his feet while Jack tries to stop him from doing so

Adams: That's the strength and determination again!!!

Jack lets go and attempts an Irish Whip, but Austin reverses it. He follows it up with a high knee to the face of Jack which causes him to drop to the canvas. Austin grabs him by the head and lifts him up for a Body Slam and then follows it up with a knee dropping across the face of the champion before getting up and smiles before turning around to meet his opponent. Jack is now backing off to a corner, trying to roll out of the ring once more but this time Austin grabs him by the foot and drags him back to the middle of the ring. There Austin grabs both legs and rolls Jack over on his back before executing a Catapult to one of the six corners of the ring. Causing Jack to anticipate quickly by landing on the turnbuckles. Jack quickly turns around and executes a cross body off the turnbuckles into the waiting arms of Austin. Who has catched him in mid air and holds him in his place with one arm. The look of shock on Jack's face is priceless before Austin executes a Samoan Drop as that causes Jack to come crashing down upon the canvas.

Simone: You could have seen that one coming!!!

Austin sits up and wastes no moment as he continues his offence on the champ, grabbing him by the head as he drags him into the corner and executes several hard knife edge chops to the chest of Jack, what is greeted by whoo chants by the fans with every chop. Austin pushes his body into that of Jack before grabbing him by the arm and whips him chest first into the turnbuckles on the opposite side of the ring. Causing Jack to collapse and drop on his back because of the impact of the blow.

Adams: Good God!!!!

Austin's methodical pace is shown as he walks over towards Jack, who is clutching his chest and breathes heavily. Austin grabs him by the arm and pulls him to his feet slowly. Placing him face first into the corner before wrapping his arms around the waist of the champ and executes a German overhead Released Suplex as that causes Jack to hit the canvas hard as his back comes in contact in the middle of the ring. Austin immediately goes for the cover as he hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Thre...

But Jack manages to get his shoulder off the canvas on time, Jasmine shows Austin the count of two as the former champ nods and turns his attention back to the champ. He grabs him by the leg and rolls him over before attempting to grab the other leg. Jack attempts to block the attempt of whatever it is that Austin has in mind, but fails in the end. Austin manages to grab both legs and tries to set him up for a Texas Cloverleaf. But Jack manages to put both feet upon his chest while being held by Austin and uses his feet and leg strength to kick Austin off of him. Causing the former champ to stagger backwards before collectin his wits again and goes for the kill as Jack slowly gets to his feet.

Simone: Mercenary Kick!!!

Adams: No!!!!!

Austin goes for the move that has given him many victories in the past, but Jack somehow manages to sidestep and catches the head of Austin in the process off the move that he has executed and drops the former champion with a reverse neck breaker in the middle of the ring.

Crowd: This is awesome!!

Crowd: Fight Forever!!!

Now it is Jack that is slowly getting to his feet, seeing that Austin is suffering his ribs as he has came down on the canvas awkwardly as well as holding his neck. Jack grins as he smells blood and goes for the kill. He runs to the turnbuckles and climbs it before jumping off

Adams: Philadelphia Flyer!!!

He comes crashing down on the back of Austin, who screams it out in agony before being rolled to his back as Jack hooks his legs and his tights for extra leverage.

ONE!

TWO!

Thre...

But somehow Austin manages to kick out to a huge shock upon Jack's face. Not believing that Austin managed to kick out as he looks over to the ref. Austin is trying to get back to his feet, clearly suffering from the impact that his back has gone through in the match as Jack knows now that it is time to put Austin away.

Simone: Brotherly Love coming up!!!

Jack attempts to sink in the Crippler Crossface, trying to lock his hands around the face of Austin as he has locked his arm between his legs. But Austin manages to pry the hands from closing with his other hand. Causing Jack to get infuriated by this and gets up, grabbing Austin by the hair and lifts him to his feet before going for a German Suplex into a bridge pinning attempt.

ONE!

TWO!

And again Austin manages to stop the three count, Jack goes for the Brotherly Love submission hold once again and this time manages to lock the hold in tight. Screaming at Austin to give in as the former champion is reluctant to do so.

Simone: Can Austin escape???

Austin manages to get the tip of his boot on his long legs to get underneath the bottom rope as this causes Jasmine to break the hold. Jack can't believe it as he moves away from Austin, staring at him in the corner while overthinking what to do next. Grinning as he finally has the answer seemingly and waits for Austin to get up. Austin slowly gets up and turns around as Jack has gotten on the turnbuckles and jumped off for a Missile Dropkick. Only to be caught by Austin as he locks Jack into a Boston Crab in the middle of the ring to much of delight of the fans.

Adams: Can Austin sink it in deep enough with that bad back???

Jasmine checks on Jack Washington, as if to see if the champion is now willing to give in. Austin is trying to sink in deeper, but his back is not allowing to sit down on the lower back of Austin. Who manages to grab the bottom rope as he was too close to it.

Simone: Tough luck for Austin

Austin releases the hold and turns towards Jack, he reaches for the legs and is trying to pull him back to the middle of the ring to try the same hold again. Only this time Jack has got it scouted and locks Austin in a small package.

ONE!

TWO!

Thre...

Adams: NO!!! Austin got his shoulder up in time!!!

Both men get to their feet and Austin charges in with full head of steam, straight into a kick into the midsection before following it up with a DDT. He then covers Austin once again.

ONE!

TWO!

Thre...

Austin kicks out, but immediately it's followed up with the Brotherly Love and Jack has got it locked in real tight. Austin is seemingly starting to fade as the pain is getting to him. He uses all of his strength to crawl over towards the ropes but realizes that the pain is too much for him to bare and taps his fingers sofly on the canvas as Jasmine calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match by submission and STILL SCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!! Jack Washington!!!

Jack's music hits as he lets go off the hold and grabs the championship belt that is handed to him. He holds hit high above his head while staring at Austin before getting out of the ring and celebrates his victory.




This notable distinction was hard to deny. Where several singles championships engaged in a round of "hot potato," there was one constant; "The Cockney King" Ben Jordan. Ben had the longest reign out of any singles champion, Superstar or Bombshell, during the award period. His career was defined by the very definition of what a champion is, or should be. He was there each and every week, whether he was scheduled in a title defense or not. And he avoided no one, and gave every challenger the respect he felt they deserved for stepping up. Many believe, before his title reign, during and even after, that Ben Jordan is the "Icon of SCW." He, above all others, proved why #BenDeservedBetter.




Keira is seen coming out of her locker room. She is wearing some new gear with her initials on the middle. As she stops, she looks in front of her and smiles. She then says

Keira: It's time. Hope, Keira. Hope for The World.

Keira makes her way to the stage

Simone: Keira's ready. Let's see if she can get the job done!




The camera catches the new Internet Champion J2H with Melody, walking up the hallway of the Orleans Arena, heading for the press area for some obligatory shots of the new champion for publicity -- and perhaps (hopefully) answer a question or two...

Whereas further down the hall on the opposite end, 'The White Wolf' Fenris is walking alongside his brother Aron up the hallway, the siblings engaged in a private conversation when...

Fenris and J2H come to a screeching halt, right in each others' faces! Each one in the others path, blocking their way!

Adams: OHHHHHHH BOY!

Simone: The two single most dominant World Champions in SCW history! Face to face!

The eyes of both men are emblazoned as they stare each other down, both waiting for the OTHER to get out of their way but neither moving! Neither willing to budge! Aron and Melody both trying to get their respective man to move but neither is budging as the camera changes out....

Adams: OHHHHHH BOY!




Simone: This is it... This is what we have been waiting for. Keira finally gets her main event match and will be challenging for the World Bombshell Championship.

Adams: She has been called everything ranging from Roxi's shadow but will she be able to overcome the unstoppable force that is Alicia Lukas. Lukas is looking to cement her legacy as being the best of the best. What will happen in our main event?!

Justin: The following match is our main event of the evening and is for the SCW World Bombshell Championship introducing first from Miami Florida. She is Keira Johnson!

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

Justin: And her opponent from Atlanta Georgia. She is the World Bombshell Champion Alicia Lukas!!!

"Wild Eyes" By Parkway drive hits as Alicia steps out with a black hoodie over her upper half with the hood up over her long blond hair. 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. She hands her title over to Drew Patton who grabs it and walks to the center of the ring.

Drew Patton is in the middle of the ring and he holds the SCW World Bombshell Championship high into the air. He glances at both of the bombshells before he calls for the bell.

Keira and Alicia both remain in their corners as they glance at each other. Alicia offers some trash talk and that is when Keira finally decides to move out of her corner. She walks to the center of the ring and Alicia is right there to meet her. Alicia cracks an evil grin as she throws her hand up into the air wanting to engage in a test of strength. Keira hesitates at first but soon she obliges as she locks her hand with Alicia's. Lukas seems to have the upper hand as she bends the arm of Keira which causes the Florida native to go to her knees. Keira however struggles but shows she has fight as she slowly lifts herself up. She is slowly gaining an advantage but Lukas delivers some vicious Muay Thai knees in the clinch. Keira screams as her stomach is nailed repeatedly and she finally doubles over. Lukas nails Keira in the face with a forearm which causes Johnson to back up into the ropes.

Simone: The match has only just started and it seems that Lukas is being very vicious towards Keira.

Adams: Alicia did say that Keira is an above average bombshell but not one she fears, and she is showcasing it tonight!

As soon as Johnson runs back from the ropes she runs right into Alicia and is met with a spine buster that sends her crashing right down to the mat. Keira grabs at her back in pain and Alicia doesn't even give her a moment to try to recuperate as she yanks her back up to her feet by the hair. Alicia steps behind Keira and locks her arms tightly around Keira's waist looking for a German Suplex. Alicia looks to bend backwards but Keira somehow manages to send an elbow backwards as she catches Lukas right in the face. She does so over and over again until she Alicia finally let's go of the hold. Lukas is reaching for her face in pain and that is when Keira turns around and she grabs a hold of Lukas by the head. She tucks her underneath an arm and without hesitation she drops her as hard as she possibly can right to the ground with a ddt. Alicia rolls on the ground clutching at her head as Keira climbs to the top of the ropes.

Simone: DDT and now Keira seems to be in control here.

Adams: She has climbed to the top of the ropes and I wonder what she has in store?!

Alicia tries to make it back up to her feet and that is when Keira decides to leap off of the top of the turnbuckles with a flying crossbody. She lands right on top of Alicia but Lukas actually flips through it and ends up on her feet with Keira in her grasp. She doesn't hesitate to set Keira up before dropping her right back to the mat with a snap suplex. Keira screams at the top of her lungs and it is at that moment that she tries to sit up but Alicia nails Keira with a very hard soccer kick to Keira's back.

Simone: Alicia is being absolutely vicious tonight.

Adams: Welcome to the main event Keira. This is the type of stuff that she will need to put up with if she wants to be the champion!

Alicia Lukas however stares down at Keira who is grimacing in pain on the floor. She doesn't hesitate as she quickly climbs to the very top of the ropes. She looks down at Keira and begins to leap off with a frog splash elbow drop attempt. She is about to come crashing down right on top of Fisher but the Super Hero is able to move out of the way at the very last second. Alicia hits the mat instead and that is when Keira finally makes it up to her feet. Alicia is now standing as well and Keira rushes towards her at full speed before sweeping her off of her feet with a powerful spear. Alicia is laid out on the floor as Keira hooks the leg for the very first pin fall of the night.

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: Keira tried to end it all with a spear!

Adams: But Alicia is able to kick out, and this match still goes on.

Keira grabs at her hair as she looks over at Drew Patton. She doesn't decide to argue it though as she slowly makes it up to her feet. She lifts Alicia up to her feet and places her in between her legs. She lifts her up for a power bomb position and actually looks for a buckle bomb. She begins to run towards the corner with her but Alicia is able to counter as she flips Keira over with a hurricarana. Keira is sent to the floor as Alicia makes it back up to her feet. Keira makes it back up to her feet and that is when Alicia sends a kick to the gut of Keira that causes her to back up into the corner. Lukas runs at Keira and the Florida native is able to jump up and lock her legs around the neck of Lukas. She is able to swing down sending her tumbling to the mat with a tilt a whirl headscissors.

Simone: Keira manages to find counter after counter in this match.

Adams: That all sounds good but she needs to find a way to be on the offensive if she wishes to become the World Champion!

Keira manages to make it back up to her feet as Alicia is in a daze before slowly rising back up to a vertical base. Keira measures up Alicia and without hesitation she throws her Seven Sins kick right at her face. Lukas isn't able to dodge it as it manages to hit her right in the face, and Lukas drops down to the mat like a sack of bricks. Keira quickly drops down and hooks the far leg for a pin.

Simone: SEVEN SINS KICK!!!!

Adams: That's it... WE ARE GONNA HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!!

ONE!

TWO!

Thr........

Simone: OH MY GOD!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adams: SOME HOW, SOME WAY ALICIA LUKAS IS ABLE TO KICK OUT!!!!!

Keira can't believe it as she questions Drew Patton and he tells her that Alicia was able to kick out of the move. She runs her hands through her hair in disbelief and she takes this moment to beg for Alicia to rise up so she can hit her again. Alicia finally starts to stir as she rises up to her feet. Keira goes for another Seven Sins kick but this time Alicia is able to duck underneath it as she ends up on the opposite side of Keira. She manages to wrap her arms around Keira's waist and she slings her backwards for a Tiger Suplex she remains bridged for a pin fall.

ONE!

TWO!

Keira however does the unthinkable as she manages to lift her shoulders up and she reverses it into a face sit for a pin fall.

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: What a weird chain of moves but Alicia is able to get out of the weird pin fall attempt by Keira.

Adams: This one keeps going back and forth with no sign of a winner in sight!

Keira crawls as she slowly makes it to her feet and of course Alicia is on her feet as well. Alicia has had enough of everything as she tries to fire a stiff shoot kick in Keira's direction. Keira however doesn't go for it as she manages to catch the leg in her hands. Alicia however continues as she follows up by delivering a very massive enziguri to the head of Fisher. The enziguri causes Keira to be in a daze and it is at this moment that Alicia springboard's off of the ropes. She leaps towards Keira and grabs her taking her down with a powerful ddt. Keira isn't moving as Alicia rises back up to her feet and she looks around.

Simone: Alicia is now in control after that ddt.

Adams: Keira doesn't seem to be moving and this could have been the opening that Alicia has needed.

Alicia doesn't go for a pin fall. Instead she yanks Keira up to her feet as she begins to signal that the end is coming. She lifts Keira onto her shoulders and without hesitation she throws her up into the air and nails her as hard as she can with a knee to the face. Keira falls to the floor and is out of it as Alicia reaches over and hooks a leg for the pin.

Simone: This is it!

Adams: Georgia Drop and Keira is out like a light!

ONE!

TWO!

Thr......

Simone: I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

Adams: I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT KEIRA JUST KICKED OUT OF THE GEORGIA DROP!!!!

The fans are going absolutely nuts as they are standing on their feet. Alicia is completely livid as she looks over at Keira in shock. Her eyes slowly flicker as looks over at Drew Patton who holds up on two fingers. Alicia nods her head as she rises back to her feet. She walks over to Keira and positions her putting her into her Lioness Bite submission. She has her locked in her Gorilla Lock and Drew begins to ask Keira if she gives up but she shakes her head refuses to do so. Keira actually showcases some massive strength as she uses everything in her power to crawl to the ropes. Alicia yanks Keira away lifting her up in the air but on the way down Keira actually manages to reverse the move grabbing Alicia on the way down and sending Alicia down to the mat head first with a bull dog.

Simone: What a reversal!!! Keira reverses with her Deadly Sin out of nowhere!!!

Adams: This one has to be over!!! Alicia isn't moving and all Keira needs to do is hook a leg for the pin.

Keira crawls over to Alicia and throws an arm over her.

ONE!

TWO!

Thr.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Simone: Alicia gets a shoulder up!!!

Adams: I don't know how but neither of these two will stay down!

Keira can't believe it as she slowly rises up to her feet. Alicia is on her feet and Keira is unaware of it. Keira turns around and Alicia runs right at her but as she does Keira is able to lift Alicia onto her shoulders. She turns before dropping her straight to the mat with her Psycho Driver 3.

Simone: FINAL SIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adams: IS IT ENOUGH?!

Keira hooks a leg and that is when Drew begins to make a count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: I don't believe it.

Adams: KEIRA GOT THE THREE COUNT WHICH MEANS SHE IS THE NEW WORLD BOMBSHELL CHAMPION!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner AND NEW SCW Bombshell World Champion.... KEIRA FISHER-JOHNSON!

The bell sounds loudly and as it does Keira sits up to her feet. She doesn't even realize what has happened yet but Drew Patton has the title in his hands and hands it over to Keira. She has tears in her eyes as she clutches it tightly. She remains on the floor with the title and it isn't long before Roxi along with Nate enter the ring. Roxi kisses her wife helping her up and Nate gives his mom a long passionate hug as he looks at the title. Keira is all tears. Candy, Seleana, and Christina Zdunich run down to the ring and join in the celebration. The Zdunichs lift Keira up on each of their shoulders and ribbons begin to fall from the ceiling along with confetti. The fans are all on their feet cheering as loudly as they can. Candy throws glitter everywhere.

Simone: AFTER YEARS OF BEING CONSIDERED ROXI'S SHADOW!

Adams: KEIRA HAS SILENCED THE CRITICS! SHE HAS BEATEN ALICIA LUKAS AND IS THE CHAMPION!

Simone: SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING OF THIS CELEBRATION!

Keira continues to celebrate as she holds her championship high into the air and it is on this image that we fade out on.
