Chad: Before the referee can give her one last warning, Alexis gets off of Krystal. She steps back and waves Krystal forward. As Krystal gets up and turns around, Alexis charges her, and Krystal tosses her over the top rope and onto the apron.
Chad: A surprise Torpedo Dropkick from the second rope! Alexis is right back on the barricade and Krystal is against her, feeling the effects of that risky move. Alexis takes a second to get her wherewithal back, and then she shoves Krystal off.

Darlyn: Here is your winner via pinfall… Alexis Staggs!!!
The scene opens backstage at Underground where we see Dev standing by with the Pride Tag Team Champions Ariana Angelos and HB Carter ahead of their title defence against Holly Wood and Kelli Torres.
Dev: Team Go, coming up next your Pride Tag Team Titles are on the line against Holly Wood and Kelli Torres, what are your thoughts heading into this match and your match against GRIME last week.
Ariana: If GRIME were any good as wrestlers, they wouldn’t need to keep interfering in matches but as it stands Max Burke and Vixen are the only good wrestlers of note in GRIME! If they try that again they’ll be in for a beating!
HBCarter: And as for our defence tonight, well, you know I feel about Holly Wood, but this is ultimately about us defending our titles and heading into Supernova as the champs!
Dev: On that note, who won the cook off between Ari and Shane?
HBCarter: Really?
He narrows his eyes.
HBCarter: Not how am I feeling about this match? Not what do I think about my icon, Holly Wood, returning after so long to take the TV title right out from under me? Not one week later and Holly gets ANOTHER automatic title shot, but this time against Ari and myself, rather than opponents like Veronica Taylor that we've hinted about for WEEKS! You don't ask me questions like that. You ask me about a cook off.
Carter sets a hand on his hip and shakes a finger at Dev.
HBCarter: Ari asked you to ask me this, didn't she?
Dev looks sheepish and when he looks at her, Ari tries her best 'who, me?' innocent look.
HBCarter: Look, like I said, love Holly to Della Reese's Pieces, but I was THIS close to the TV title and she gets it -- and now is after Ari's and MY tag titles? It took the both of us forever and a day to branch out for singles title shots while we still had these, and it takes Holly ... what? A week? That just .... really makes me admire what the bitch gets done even more! But she's not getting these titles! I don't care how much I love her!
Dev: But Carter?
HBCarter: Hm?
Dev: Who won the cookoff?
Carter shakes his head.
HBCarter: Oh, I don't know. When I found out what they were up to, I deadened my taste buds with ice water.
Ariana: .... What?
Carter smiles and wraps an arm around her shoulder and gives it a squeeze.
HBCarter: But I'm going to say Ari here just because ... well, she's Ari!
Ariana: Yay!
Ari exclaims before hugging her bestie from the side before regaining her composure.
Ariana: As for tonight, we’re walking into this match the Pride Tag Team Champs and we’re leaving the Pride Tag Team Champs because fortune favours the bold and Team Go.
HBCarter: Will go the distance!
That was when the champions got a surprise, or at least half of them did. The reigning SCW Internet Champion, Austin James Mercer, walks onto the set with a smirk on his face and a large Wendy’s Frosty in his hand. Given what Carter had said earlier in the week would make him feel better...
Austin wraps an arm around the frozen twenty-one year old and gives him a playful, one-arm embrace, then hands the Frosty to him. And just as easily, Austin walks off camera with both Dev and Ari watching after him, but Carter remains frozen. And slowly, but surely... TIMMMMMBERRRR! He tilts forward and face plants on the floor! Ari stares wide eyed, then turns to look off-camera.
Ariana: Thanks a LOT! We have a title defence tonight!
Austin: (off camera) Sorry!
Cameras cut to the back area. We see Coby Quik standing with Marissa Henry as she gets ready to interview him.
Marissa: Coby, last week Andrew Borg…
Tad: Is a waste with no talent, Andrew had a chance to join GRIME and failed to do so. Unlike Coby Quik who is smart and talented.
Tad says as he interrupts the interview.
Coby: Well, that's one thing we can agree on.
Tad: Great, so join us, you don’t need to get involved in SCU’s mess. Let them fail without you failing with them. Come join GRIME, not only is it the smartest thing for your career health wise, but I also know we can pay you more. All you have to do is join us.
Coby: Almost seems too good to pass up.
Tad: Great.
Coby: ...but Imma still pass.
Tad: You’re kidding me, right? Is that supposed to be a bad joke?
Coby: That wasn't a joke. That's what's up!
Tad: Well, that’s your call. I think you know how this works though.
Tad leaves the frame as Marissa looks at Coby.
Marissa: What do you think he meant by that?
Coby: ...means even though I don't have a match, tonight is going to be a long night...
Cyan, and Cadet Blue appear from behind Coby. Marissa looks past Coby at both of them, giving him a slight heads up about what is coming. Cadet Blue hits Coby in the back of the head with a flying forearm and Marissa bails from the area. Cyan goes to grab Coby, but the fastest member of Jet City is able to push Cyan away. Cadet Blue rushes in but Coby sends a harsh kick to his midsection that stops him in his tracks. Blue in the mid-section. Gold, and Yellow appear at the end of the hallway that Marissa ran towards. Coby looks back at them to see he’s seriously outnumbered and takes off running the opposite direction.

Mayhem Survival Qualifying Match
Grey and Black vs Jacob Johnson and Jerry Cann
Erik: We come back from commercial with the masked members (Grey & Black) sitting on the hood of a car with their chains in hand. We see Jacob Johnson and Jerry Cann enter the parking lot, looking for a fight.
Liam: Now they walk into a Backstage Brawl with Grey and Black.. This looks to be in Jerry and Jacob’s favor so far as they pull a wheelbarrow of weapons behind them.
Erik: Jacob and Jerry enter the circle of cars. Masked members hop off the hood of the car and leave their chains on the hood.
Liam: The following contest is a Parking Lot Brawl, scheduled for one fall, and is for guaranteed spots in the Mayhem Survival Match at Supernova 3! One one side, we have masked members Black and Grey… and on the other side, we have Jerry Cann and Jacob Johnson! Now let the match begin!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Black and Grey run at the Fox Brother and hit them with Running Jump Kicks. Grey starts to lay hard hitting clubs on Jerry’s back as Black nails Jacob with wild, untrained punches!
Erik: Black nails a left to the temple of Jacob dropping him, he hits his head on the front bumper as he goes down.
Liam: Grey keeps laying in the clubs and punches on Jerry. Black jumps on top of one of the cars and runs over jumping on Jerry’s back for a Sleeper hold as she shrieks.
Erik: The momentum causes Jerry to drop to the floor. Grey kicks her foot out to have Black’s head land on her shoe not the cement floor!
Liam: Smart thinking by Grey.
Erik: Black gets off of Jerry, the two bow then go after Jacob to double team him but he is still layed out! The masked members get him up to his feet and lift him up for a Double Suplex!
Liam: They turn around and drop him to the hood of a car.
Erik: Jerry gets to his feet as masked members go in for a Double Clothesline but he ducks it. The masked members stop and turn, they get put on the ground with a Double Clothesline of his own.
Liam: Jerry grabs Grey by her back and hits a Suplex onto the hood of the car. He turns just as Black comes at him, and he drops her with a Back Body Drop!
Erik: She lands right on top of Black. Jacob gets up and pulls Black off of the car. He looks for a Powerbomb onto Grey, but Grey moves and kicks him in the gut to break the hold.
Liam: The masked members run to get their chains, they run over to Jacob, who turns around, right into a harsh hit from the chain to the side of his face! Grey hits Jacob on the chest then Black.
Erik: Jerry watches for a spot to open up. He snatches Black up and grabs her chain. He uses it to choke and drag her toward his wheelbarrow.
Liam: Black drops down and hits a low blow, followed by a back body drop of Jerry onto the wheelbarrow with a sick crash and crushing sound. He topples over, holding his gashed side.
Erik: Grey sets Jacob up for a Powerbomb onto the hood of the car, but Jacob resists it, hitting a club to Grey’s face. Black clubs him and helps finish him off. They hold on for the cover!
One!
Two!
Three!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Here are your winners, advancing to the Mayhem Survival Match… Masked members Grey and Black!!!
Grey and Black back away as the medical team arrives to check on Jerry and Eric. They admire their work, giving each other a high five before they walk off. They find themselves just inside of the building as Indigo, Macaroni and Cheese, Jade, and Ruby whisper to them, and they all head down the hallway to meet GRIME GM Tad Ezra, who has a huge smile on his face. He clears his throat as many masked members crowd around. Vixen Staggs steps to the front of the line and they all wait until “American Landfill” by 3TEETH begins playing over the speakers.
The crowd boos very loudly. Tad leads everyone down to the ring as Liam Gagnon takes the center of the ring.
Liam: Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together, for the true General Manager of Underground is on his way to the ring. Being accompanied by GRIME World Nightmare Champion Vixen Staggs, and several masked member representatives, he is… Tad… EZZZZZRAAAAAAA!!!
Tad continues walking down the rampway, waving to the fans who go as far as to throw balled up napkins at him. He bats them away as he comes to the ring. He slides inside of the ring as Vixen soon follows. She shouts out to show Tad some respect, which only makes them boo louder. Tad shakes hands with Liam and then accepts the microphone from him. He lets the crowd settle down for a moment before he speaks.
Tad: Thank you! Thank you! Your warm welcomes always hit me right here.
Tad puts his fist to his heart, pounding it a couple of times for good measure.
Tad: I’ve got a lot to say, and I’m on borrowed time, so shut the hell up and listen, kay?
Tad doesn’t wait for long for the crowd to stop booing him.
Tad: This is the go-home show for Super-freaking-nova 3! That’s a big deal. And what has SCU served up? Well, Gianni Di Luca proposed to Veronica. That’s… eh… Everything else has been hard hitting GRIME victories. And it is for that reason that I’ve talked Gianni into allowing us to hold our GRIME World Nightmare Championship matches at Summer XXXTreme. I mean, we can only steal the show so many times before it makes SCU look pathetic, right?
Crowd: Booooooo!!!
Tad: It’s not Halloween! Stop booing at me. Now, as I was saying, we will be taking part in one of SCW’s most unique shows of the year, and a breath of fresh air, what with all that has kept us fan free and stuck in a hotel for 4 months. No Sail orders be damned, we’re getting on that boat. And as a celebration for winning the Mayhem Survival, we get to see our titles defended alongside the SCW World Heavyweight and World Bombshell titles. And what better way than to announce that Max Burke will defend his title against not just one, but 7 opponents… in a Warrior's Brawl Match! You want more competition, you got it, Max!
Crowd: *POP!*
Tad spins around to look at the other camera as he takes a few steps closer to it.
Tad: And what's more. Vixen Staggs will be defending her title against, not one, but two ladies at Summer XXXTreme than to do so right here, right now, and reward the two ladies who just got entered into the Mayhem Survival Match, masked members Grey and Black!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tad is about to say something, but he chokes it back and sighs. He shakes his head as he continues on.
Tad: Come on ladies and gents. Give them a round of applause?
The crowd boos loudly as Black and Grey shake their heads and begin shouting back at the crowd. Vixen steps forward, looking at Black and Grey masked members. A sly smirk creeps onto her face as she accepts the microphone from Tad.
Vixen: Bravo ladies, Felicitations! I've beaten each of you at different times in my career. But seeing that performance in the parking lot minutes ago, I have to admit that I'm slightly impressed. You took down two men who I just knew would be in the Mayhem Survival.
Vixen offers them a slow clap after shouldering her belt, but there is a hint of condescension in her actions and her voice.
Vixen: Now, I know that masked identities are kept secret on a need-to-know basis. But I've faced both of you, more than once. And truth be told, I look forward to doing it again. however...
Vixen holds up her hand as the crowd boos. She ignores it and powers right through.
Vixen: However, I don’t do anything by half measures. Like when I beat Angel of Filth for the GRIME World Nightmare Championship, I knew I needed to be a champion everyone could look up to so I took my Crimson mask off. I am proud of my legacy and since I know who both of you are under those masks, it would only make this match an even higher profile if you take those masks off now. Voyons, let everyone see who is underneath those masks. Come on. What have you got to lose…except the match against me. Go ahead, unmask, I dare you.
Without any hesitation, Grey steps forward. She takes center stage, taking a second to look at Tad to make sure there’s no backlash for doing so. He shrugs and then she begins to tug on her mask. However, Black walks up and puts a hand on her shoulder, shaking her head. They share a few words back and forth before turning away from each other and letting their hands go to their sides.
Crowd: TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!
Tad: What do we look like here? We might be GRIME-y, but fuck…
While Tad is talking, suddenly Grey and Black lunge at one another, pulling each other’s masks off from under their hoods. They look down as Black’s black and blue hair flows from under the hood, covering her face. Grey looks down too, and the cameras focus right on them both. They raise their heads and look at each other.
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Liam: It’s fucking Kittie and Ruby!!!
Crowd: *MEGA POP!*
Vixen stares at them with a huge grin on her face. Kittie grins even bigger as she and Ruby step closer to Vixen. Kittie takes the microphone from Vixen without necessarily asking, and she raises it to her lips.
Kittie:: What you built your career on, I established for you. You’re welcome. As the first true Bombshell Champion… since the other one is currently worm food…
Crowd: FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!
Kittie: … it is my distinct pleasure to unmask right before I take that title off of you. You know, we’ve been dying for this moment to get here, and…
“Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco cuts Kittie off as she growls into the microphone. She walks over to the ropes, ready to get outside, but Tad holds her back as Donna comes out from behind the curtains.
Donna: Well, well, well, I see now. Everything makes sense now Kittie. The reason why the SCU Security team was never around is because they hide behind those GRIME Masks as the enemy.
Tad looks at Donna with a shrug
Donna: Casey, wanted to resign from his duties but I asked him to stay on till at least Supernova 3 as you know changes get made then. I see now why he wanted to resign. So Kittie, or Tad, where’s the rest of them. May as well bring them out and get it over with. Casey is no longer the SCU Head of Security, Kittie clearly is no longer a guard for us. May as well let the cat out the bag.
Tad: You assume a lot. I can’t explain why they weren’t around. Kittie however, she’s been in the ring where she belongs. You just couldn’t see it so you signed her as some security guard.
Donna: I was told she retired, had I known we would have talked.
Tad: That’s neither here or there at this point.
Tad waves for someone to join him at the rampway. Donna looks at the curtain while taking a step back. Omasa Tazu comes out as she stares down Donna Beauchamp.
Tad: Donna, meet Omasa, one of the favorites to win the Mayhem Survival.
Donna: I highly doubt that.
Tad: If not Omasa, someone from GRIME is winning it this year.
Donna: It’s everyone for themselves and yet I can assure you someone in SCU will win this.
Tad: I’m so sure that GRIME will win that I’m willing to make a deal with you. When GRIME wins the Mayhem Survival, you have to allow me to book as many GRIME matches as you book SCU matches.
Donna: No, why would I do that. The point is for you guys to leave and find your own TV deal.
Tad: Look, Donna, WGN wants the highest ratings, I’m trying to let you in on that as we both know who has the real stars.
Tad waves for someone to come out. Hitamashii comes out along with Burnt Orange and Maroon.
Tad: Your greatest Underground Champion was Javi, last I check he works for me, your greatest TV Champion ever Hitamashii, as you can see he is also in GRIME.
Donna: Ivan Darrell and Andrew Garcia, please come out and remove GRIME from the rampway.
Tad: The Dying Breed can’t help you, I know I said that they’re not in GRIME masked but… I lied.
Tad says laughing as we see Burnt Orange and Maroon unmask to show everyone it’s indeed the former SCW Tag Team Champions the Dying Breed.
Donna: Wow, so I see I have a lot of hiring to do… Gianni please come out here.
Donna waits a few seconds for Gianni to appear at the rampway. He looks a little nervous, but he composes himself.
Donna: Gianni, I’m sorry but all of this falls on you as the GM of SCU. Top that with your disregard for the roster outside of Veronica Taylor leaves me with no choice… I’m sorry to inform you but your duties as GM are no longer needed.
Gianni: Hey, hey, think about what your sayin. You need me more then you realize.
Donna: I need a fair GM, not one that allows things to get this out of hand.
Gianni: I have more to offer then you realize.
Donna: Oh really? How so?
Gianni: Well, for one, you have no security, you need a new Head of Security. Who better then me? Plus, you said I’m working with Tad right? like it or not, Tad and I have an understanding. If anyone can help control what’s going on it’s me. Think of how bad it would have gotten if I wasn’t the G.M. As Head of Security, you can be sure that GRIME will not attack Veronica and the rest of the locker room.
Donna: How can you make sure of that?
Gianni: Allow me to make one last discussion as the G.M and I can assure you Tad will back off. We worked well together while I was the G.M., allow me to go out with a bang for SCU. Like you Donna, I’m all about SCU.
Donna: Fine, this better be good, but after that. You’re done.
Gianni: Everyone, as the G.M of SCU I want to let you all know that after Supernova 3 GRIME will no longer interfere with the shows with their Purges. To make sure of this, I am appointing myself as the new Head Of Security of SCU and if Tad agrees with all of this then yes, if GRIME wins the Mayhem Survival, GRIME will share 50/50 bookings with SCU… And with that, I resign from SCU G.M. job
Donna: Do you really think I’ll allow such a thing.
Tad: You got a deal Gianni, just convince Donna to agree or the next purge will be the last one as it’ll never stop.
Donna: No, you’re not going to threaten me.
Gianni: Stop being scared, you claim you have the best stars then let them prove it to the fans. It’s what’s best for ratings.
Donna: Fine, if it’s going to shut you all up, but you never explained what happens when SCU wins so here goes. When SCU wins, GRIME will be gone… Done with. If any of you show up after Supernova, I’ll hand the issue over to the police and have them arrest you all for trespassing.
Tad shakes his head and ignores Donna as he looks at Gianni and extends his hand out to him.
Tad: You got a deal G!
Gianni and Tad shake hands as Donna leaves the rampway not happy.
The cameras cut backstage again, catching up with a breathless Coby Quik still managing to survive the GRIME onslaught backstage. He checks around a corner to make sure the coast is clear before moving into an adjacent hallway. He hears footsteps and stops in his tracks, but rounding the corner in front of him is Marissa Henry, not any of the masked GRIME members that have been tracking him.
Marissa: Coby! I see you have managed to stay in one piece. Have you managed to slip your pursuers yet?
Coby lets out a sigh but shakes his head.
Coby: Feels like the calm before the storm really. Glad you made it out before things got hectic.
Marissa: Sorry I couldn't be more of a help.
Coby dismissed the thought without even considering laying any of the blame on the interviewer.
Coby: Nah. I've dealt with this type of thing before. I can handle myself.
Marissa does not seem as confident in Coby as he appears to be.
Marissa: There were four of them…
Coby shrugs.
Coby: Yeah, well… they still have to catch me first.
The two move towards each other in the hallway, with Marissa showing her professionalism as she attempts to restart their interview from earlier.
Marissa: Well, if you have a moment, I was trying to ask about Andrew Borg earlier before we were interrupted.
Coby nods, understanding where she was headed.
Coby: I don't know what I can really say about him. It's been a strange month. The guy swindles his way into two wins against me, then loses clean but snaps and attacks me. I don't think I did anything to irritate the guy. You can't win with some people I guess…
Coby catches Marissa's eyes moving past him again, but this time he is more ready. He spins on his heel and is able to deflect an incoming right hand from Cadet Blue before tossing him into several crates along the wall. Before Coby can turn back towards the others, Gold blindsides him with a stiff right hand, and then a quick second that staggers Coby backwards. He is caught from falling by Yellow and pushed back towards Gold. This time Coby is leveled by a haymaker that puts him on the ground. Both Yellow and Cyan move to get Coby back onto his feet to continue the beating but Coby is able to shrug his arms free. Cadet Blue charges in to grab Coby around the waist, but Coby leaps into the air and rolls over Cadet Blue, propelling him into Yellow and Cyan and causing all three to tumble to the ground. The four GRIME members attempt to regroup Coby takes off down the other end of the hallway, once again managing to escape serious harm.
The camera moves to the hallway, just outside of the door to the boiler room. We focus on it for a second, and the fans cheer loudly. The cameraman reaches for the door handle. However, there is a sudden clearing of the throat, and the camera shifts to the side to see Jenifer LaCroix standing there with Celeste leaning against the wall.
Cameraman: When did you guys get here? I was seriously looking over there like three seconds ago.
Jenifer: La magie?
Celeste shrugs and winks.
Cameraman: It must be magic. Like, did you see me coming in a crystal ball?
Celeste pushes herself off of the wall. She strides over to the cameraman, looking him up and down and then she rolls her eyes.
Celeste: Yeah, that’s what we did. Seriously, who do we look like? Andrew Borg when he predicted the current state of the champions months ago?
Jenifer: Enfin, pas tout à fait. Il avait cependant à moitié raison. (Well, not quite. He was half right though.)
Celeste: Minor details. I guess what I want to know is… why was Zack the cameraman trying to go into the boiler room? Zack, care to shed some light on the subject?
There is a silent pause as Celeste folds her arms over her chest, Jenifer doing the same as they lean on each other.
Zack: Well, I was supposed to come ahead to get you ready for an interview with Marissa Henry. Boy, has she got questions for you.
Celeste smiles so sickeningly sweet that you can tell it’s not genuine at all.
Celeste: Oh, I’m sure she does. I’m sure that everyone has questions about last week. I might have had my Twitter account suspended, but Jenifer lets me have a look at things. I’ve seen the comments.
Jenifer: Elle a vu la façon dont les gens parlent d'elle. Comment elle doit être celle qui affrontera Dahlia Rotten. Elle vient de la battre la semaine dernière, après tout. (She has seen the way people are talking about her. How she has to be the one to face Dahlia Rotten. She just beat her last week, afterall.)
Celeste rolls her eyes and leans off of Jenifer, who shrugs her shoulders.
Jenifer: Quoi? Je commençais à penser qu'ils allaient me réserver contre vous, car ce serait la seule façon pour vous de subir une défaite. Et ce titre serait magnifique autour de ma taille, non? (What? I was starting to think that they were going to book me against you, because that was going to be the only way you would suffer a defeat. And that title would look magnificent around my waist, no?)
Celeste: There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Find that line, baby girl. And here’s a hint… I’m nowhere near that line.
Jenifer leans in and smiles sweetly at Celeste.
Jenifer: I know…
Just then, Marissa walks into the picture with her microphone, getting a bit of a pop of her own.
Marissa: Ladies, it’s a pleasure to see you two, and not in the boiler room on top of that. The light does wonders for you.
Celeste: Well, one of us at least…
Celeste winks, but Jenifer nods and holds her hands up, doing her best momentary Veronica Taylor impression.
Marissa: I see I’ve caught you in a much better mood than last week. And speaking of last week…
Celeste: Could we not?
Marissa looks stunned by Celeste’s honesty.
Celeste: Look, I know I said a lot of things last week. And I’m going to be honest with you. I’d say them all again this week, even with a loss under my belt. My first in 908 days. I might have sounded like a bitch, but come on. You can’t say any of that was untrue. Especially about Delia Darling. Fuck that cow. You know it. I know it. Zack knows it. They all know it.
Jenifer: Sauf pour Dahlia, bien sûr. (Except for Dahlia, of course.)
Celeste takes a deep breath.
Celeste: Fuck you.
Marissa: While your words last week were debatable at best, Jenifer has a point. Dahlia did beat you last week. Granted, you had 908 days undefeated, and you are an amazing competitor… you can’t take away what Dahlia accomplished.
Celeste thinks about it for a second.
Celeste: You’re right. She beat me. I didn’t see it coming. I won’t take anything away from Dahlia, because she did what nobody else has been able to do. I applaud her. But… yes, there’s a but. A big, big but. There’s no way that lightning can strike in the same spot twice. So, I am calling Dahlia out for Supernova 3. If she’s up to pulling double duty. And if Donna will agree to it, I’m ready to prove myself, and that blotch on my record will soon disappear in my rear view mirror.
Jenifer: Ensuite, vous forcerez leur main. Vous les forcerez à me faire prendre le titre. (Then you will force their hand. You will force them to make me take the title from you.)
Celeste: Then I will say to you… Bring it, baby. I’ve already made it clear. I will defeat anyone. Hell, bring my mom here, and I’ll defeat her. I. Don’t. Care. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll be seeing Dahlia at Supernova 3, August 1st.
Celeste seems to be tired of the interview, and she just walks away. Jenifer looks at Celeste, chuckles, and then follows suit. Marissa gets a half smile on her face.
Zack: Damn, that was pretty a pretty solid lead.

Mayhem Survival Qualifying Match
Ruby and Jade vs Apathy and Indigo
Liam: The following contest is a Lights Out Match under GRIME Rules, and is scheduled for one fall! Iiiiiiiiiiintroducing the competitors! On one team, representing the masked members of GRIME, they are Jade and Ruby!!!
Ruby puffs out her chest as she looks across the ring at her opponents, as Jade seems to be giving her a pep talk.
Liam: Aaaaand their opponents, Queen of Apathy and masked member Indigo!!!
Queen rests in their corner, staring back across the ring as Indigo jogs in place. She looks like she’s ready for the bell to ring, and she charges across the ring as the lights go out!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Erik: We can hear the thumping around in the ring as we see the lights of Indigo bouncing around with the lights from Ruby’s mask. They appear to be brawling.
Liam: We can see Jade looking around, moving She turns around just as the lights come back on. Apathy is behind her, and she hits a Jump Kick.
Erik: Jade takes it, and then she holds onto her neck as Apathy grabs her by the back of the head and throws her through the ropes and to the outside.
Liam: Apathy steps back into Ruby, who wraps an arm around her neck and brings her back with a Suplex. Indigo is quick to stomp on Ruby before she can even rise up from the mat.
Erik: Indigo gets a few good shots in, but she soon finds her leg in Ruby’s grip before getting Dragon Screwed to the mat! She then stands up, still holding the leg.
Liam: Catapult into the corner. Apathy readies herself to charge, but Jade grabs her leg from the outside and trips her up. She falls to the mat face first and gets pulled outside.
Erik: Jade grabs onto Apathy’s head and goes to smash it into the apron when suddenly…
*Lights Out!*
Erik: We can hear steel and skull meeting as Jade’s mask suddenly falls down toward the ground. We can see her crawling a bit.
Liam: Ruby seems to be hitting Shoulderbutts to Indigo in the corner. Indigo falls down to the ground. Ruby leans down and appears to be dragging Indigo across the ring.
Erik: Jade gets up, and we continue to hear skull crashing against steel over and over again, so it must be Apathy taking the damage!
Liam: Indigo’s face seems to be flying across the… did Indigo just unmask? Turn the lights on! Turn the lights on! Bitch just went off script!
Erik: It’s not her time! But the lights come back on and we see Indigo holding her hands over her face as she ducks out of the ring. She rushes under the ring.
Liam: Damn… Apathy is busted open as she stumbles back to her feet. Jade hits a Superkick to her, and she drops down, rolling under the ring.
Erik: As Jade goes to lift up the apron, she is met with a blast from a large confetti popper, temporarily blinded as Indigo comes out with a sack over her head, eye holes cut out.
Liam: Ruby slides out of the ring and goes to grab onto Indigo’s sack, but Apathy reaches under the ring to stop her. Indigo rams a knee into Jade’s side and flings her back to the ring.
Erik: Ruby uses her strength to stop Apathy from keeping her from moving. She drags Apathy out of the ring and hits an eye poke to Indigo.
Liam: She throws Indigo back inside of the ring as Apathy continues to hold on. She drags Apathy further as Indigo backs up, looking at Ruby.
Erik: She doesn’t see Jade standing up behind her now. She walks right into Jade, who wraps her arm around Indigo’s neck and takes her down into a chokehold.
Liam: She’s struggling against it, but there’s no rope breaks in this one. Indigo still tries to gain leverage by getting to the ropes.
Erik: Indigo gets dragged back a few paces, and Apathy is in a similar hold by Ruby on the outside of the ring. Indigo begins tapping out!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Here are your winners, advancing to the Mayhem Survival… masked members Jade and Ruby!!!
Ruby releases Apathy as Jade releases Indigo. Jade goes to pull the sack off of Indigo’s head, but she slaps the hand away and immediately ducks out of the ring. She grabs her back and puts it on over the sack. She meets up with Apathy, checking on her head. Apathy just shrugs as they leave, allowing Jade and Ruby to celebrate inside of the ring peacefully.
Erik: I hear we are going to hear from the champ right now. We’re going to get Max’s reaction to tonight’s announcement of his title defense in the Warriors Brawl.
Cut to Casey Williams, and the G.R.I.M.E. World Nightmare Champion Max Burke. Max is sporting a tailored suit. His eyes are hidden by his Ray Bans. A small bandaid covers a memento left from Raab’s thumbtacks.
Max: I told you Raab. You just had to listen carefully. I told you.
The G.R.I.M.E. World Nightmare Championship is lifted into view by his owner. Max places the title on Casey’s shoulder.
Max: This championship was not leaving my side. We both knew this. You can admit that. Everyone is having a great laugh that the big man has my back right now. But, I tried to let you in on the secret. This isn’t the same Casey that these kids know these days. I want you to go to scwrestling.net and give yourselves a little history lesson. Do your little search feature and look up “Hotstuff Inc”.
Max and Casey look into the camera with a smirk.
Max: Sorry Erik.
Max shrugs his shoulders, and chuckles.
Max: We ran roughshod through Sin City Wrestling. We were the greatest collection of athletes in the history of Sin City Wrestling’s well known strength of factions over the years. Mark Ward’s design was perfect. Every piece of our stable was unique. We all brought something different to the table, and we decimated the ranks of Sin City for months. Casey Williams was an essential cog in that machine. We unleashed Casey, and he broke bodies. The destruction was beautiful.
Casey grips the title tightly. He cracks his neck to either side.
Max: That my children is who you are now dealing with. Look at what we did last week. The proof is on his shoulder right now. I told you Raab. I told you not to make me do it. You forced my hand as usual with Samuel. So... you got Casey’s autograph. Then I spiked your damn head into the canvas one more time. And now... I got my wish. Thank you Erik. Warriors Brawl at Summer XXXtreme. You see kids... another history lesson for you. I put the “almighty”, the “legend” Kain in a bodybag. I bloodied him. I broke him. I took his Roulette title. That night on that cruise I finished the climb that was nearly a year long journey to that championship. The blood feud with Kain took each of our legacies to a whole different level. We destroyed each other for months. We crossed the line every damn day. Ask anyone... the heat between us was raging... out of control house fire type heat.
Max takes off his sunglasses. Nostrils flaring, he takes a deep breath.
Max: That is what you are now dealing with. You saw what I did under my mask as Abaddon. You see how I have steadily raised the level of violence since capturing the World Nightmare championship. When I make my return to Summer XXXtreme do you honestly believe that any of you poor unfortunate sacrifices are walking out of that ring under your own power. Fuck no you are not. I am going to dismantle each and every one of you with exact and devastating force. I have proven each and every week since my return that I am not playing around this time. G.R.I.M.E. and your World Nightmare Champion is taking over Sin City. At Summer XXXtreme, I promise you this right now... history repeats itself. I will leave each and every one of you in pools of your own piss and blood. I am walking out of Summer XXXtreme with MY championship firmly where it belongs around my goddamn waist. You can count on that.
Cut back to the announce desk.
Inside their locker room, Team Canada members Stewart, Gail, Gemma, and Dahlia, are chit-chatting as Marissa Henry enters.
Stewart: Hey.
Marissa waits for her cue.
Marissa: I’m here with Team Canada, first Dahlia let met ask you about last week, everyone is still buzzing about your match with Celeste North and the fact that you ended her 908-day undefeated streak.
Dahlia: Celeste North is one of the very best wrestlers I ever faced, maybe the best, it was a hard-fought match, and respect to Celeste.
Marissa: With the win, you enter the Mayhem survival match at Supernova.
Dahlia: That’s right yes we’ve never won a Mayhem survival match, it’s a tough grueling match, that I will be looking to finally win for Team Canada, and it will be great help my fellow SCU stars prevent those GRIME wankers from winning.
Marissa: Stewart everyone knows by now who you're facing at Supernova and the stipulations of the match.
Stewart: Indeed Marissa, my Combat title against Shooter Reed's career, we’ve known each other for a while and you know what I capable of and what I’ll do to keep the combat around my waist and in the Team Canada camp, but this match is personal, Shooter owns my girl an apology, and so far he’s been hiding like a coward, but Gail will get her apology at Supernova, and I rid Sin City Underground or the cancer named Shooter Reed.
VS
Good Shepherds vs OTE
Father Gerald and Brother David vs Dax Beckett and Eyesnsane
Darlyn: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!
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 as Brother David comes out behind him, looking around as he casts judgment on the crowd. Gerald 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. David nods along to each spoken word, but there is something in his eyes that is a bit vacant.They walk down the ramp as Gerald continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and runs up them. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. David climbs onto the apron and looks around. They get inside of the ring as Gerald slowly spins around before settling in a corner and waits for the match to start.
The lights in the arena go out and Eyesnsane in his wrestling gear steps through the curtain and onto the stage.
Darlyn: Aaaaaaaaaaaand their opponents… On their way to the ring, representing Over the Edge, they are… Eyesnsane and Dax Beckett!!!
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, now joined by Dax Beckett. Dax nods and speaks to 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 as Dax slides in under the ropes. Eyesnsane 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. He and Dax turn to their corner, speaking as the bell rings.
