Logan scored the biggest win of his career to date at Into the void where he won the Roulette Championship from Aidan Reynolds! And come Climax Control he made it clear that he was far from done, daring anyone to step up as only Logan could.
But perhaps he spoke too soon? Because Climax Control 427 was King Guy’s King for a Day Episode and Logan’s first defence was set to be a “Pin the Jackass Gauntlet”, his opponents? Justin Smith, “Bulldog” Bill Barnhart and a mystery entrant! The biggest challenge for any new champion was always the first defence and this could prove to be a tough one for Logan, can he get the win?

This has been absolutely perfect.
I won the Roulette Championship at Into the Void just as I said I would and now? The countdown begins to my very first challenger! Or challengers, I do not care how many for I will slay them all! They will not deny me my throne and I will cement my legacy using this title!
Such a shame that one woman tried to ruin it.
”MARISSA!!” I called after Brooke’s older twin sister as she walked away from me and Brooke, she had tried to ruin my moment tonight and I was not about to let it slide, the brunette woman glanced over at us but continued to ignore us, only stopping to adjust her ponytail which allowed me and Brooke to catch up. ”What the hell was that?!”
”Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t have any patience for a raging jackass on the eve of my twentieth birthday!” Marissa responded as she rolled her eyes before turning to face us completely, she eyed her younger sister especially. ”And thanks for sticking up for me Brooke! I’ll remember that the next time you want something from me!” Marissa added and Brooke’s frown deepened.
”Mari, we might be sisters but as his manager? Logan is my top priority in SCW!” Brooke responded as she folded her arms and Mari rolled her eyes. ”And I got him to back off when he was screaming at you!”
”Yeah, thanks for saving me from the champ who’s one bad breakup away from becoming an incel!” Marissa responded as she shook her head, at that point I got my phone out only for Marissa to snatch it out of my hand. ”Oh no you don’t!”
”What are you doing?!” I demanded as she started to back away with my phone in hand. ”Give that back!”
”And let you tweet whatever weird edgelord bullshit is on your mind after tonight?” Marissa asked mockingly before blowing a mocking kiss with her free hand, on one hand? She was the same height and weight as Brooke, short, petite, beautiful? Yes, both sisters are, but she’s not a trained fighter like Brooke. ”I don’t think so, oh golden lord!” Marissa added mockingly but before I could give chase? A text notification rang out from my phone and she looked. ”Oh look at that Logan! They sent you a new card text, that can only mean one thing.”
”Logan’s in action next week, possibly in a King for a Day Match.” Brooke realized as she tilted her head to the side, then? Marissa started laughing, for lack of a better term, her ass off. ”What’s so funny?”
”Your next match Logan! You know what? Take it!” Marissa tossed the phone at me and I caught it in my hands. ”I wanna see your reaction first hand, jackass!”
I gave Marissa a pointed look before looking at the text, right there, in the opening match of the evening. ”King for a Day, Pin the Jackass Gauntlet: me vs. Justin Smith, Biil Barnhart and a mystery opponent?!” I demanded but before I could turn to Marissa for answers? She was already on her way down the hallway. ”What the hell is that clown playing at?!”
”I don’t know but we’d better go catch up with Mari.” Brooke responded before the redhead (she had started dyeing her hair during training) started to follow her sister. ”At least two of the three opponents will be easy.”
”Quite.” I nodded in agreement before we went off after Marissa.
STK at the Cosmopolitan VIP Room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 9th of June 2025, 18:00pm
Only the best for my queen.
As Brooke mentioned last night on Climax Control today is her and Marissa’s twentieth birthdays and well, both women are trust fund kids and Brooke insisted that we all go out for a meal tonight in Las Vegas to celebrate.
“Ahh, good evening.” The maître d’ greeted us as we entered the restaurant, STK was a fine dining steak restaurant known for its club like atmosphere and Brooke had made special arrangements. “Do you three have a reservation.”
”Yes we do, under the name Brooke Shields.” Brooke told the maître d’ before quickly adding. ”And no, I’m not the aging actress!”
“Clearly.” The maître d’ chuckled before checking the reservation last. “Ahh, yes, everything has been arranged as you requested, what is the occasion if I may ask?”
”Me and Brooke are turning twenty.” Marissa quickly cut in as she stepped forward. ”We’re twin sisters but I’m the older of the two.”
“Ahh, I bet you two are like peas in a pod.” The maître d’ responded before grabbing three menus and leading us to a stairway. “Up here you will find the VIP Room.” He added and we all grinned before me and Brooke were allowed upstairs, Marissa however was stopped. “I’m sorry madame but the VIP Room was only booked for those two, you will be eating down here.”
”What?! But it’s my birthday as well!” Marissa protested before she turned her attention back to Brooke. ”Brooke, what the hell is this?!”
”Sorry sis but after that stunt you pulled last night? Your spending your birthday alone.” Brooke responded with a sardonic grin and the maître d’ was clearly uncomfortable as it set in. ”With the peasants off course.”
”Let her eat cake.” I chimed in from the top of the stairs and Marissa rolled her eyes ”Or fries, or whatever it is that peasants eat.”
Marissa quickly turned her attention to the maître d’, clearly at her wits end. ”Look, you’re just doing your job, I get that.” Marissa pleaded as she looked at the maître d’. ”But I have been through so much bullshit this year! My house was destroyed in the LA fires and I’ve been living with them for the past five months! Is there something you can do? Like another VIP booth I can hang out in?”
“I’m sorry madame but that is the only VIP Booth I’m afraid.” The maître d’ apologized to Marissa and she let out a deep breath. “I can get you seated at the chef’s table in the kitchen if that’ll do? I’ll tell the head chef that it’s your birthday today.”
”You know what? Fine.” Marissa sighed as she ran a hand through her dark brown hair. ”I wanted to get away from those idiots anyway.” Marissa added before she was led away.
As Marissa was taken over to the Chef’s Table by the Maître D’ another waiter took me and Brooke upstairs and into the VIP lounge, and it was everything we could’ve asked for. ”This is perfect!” I exclaimed as we sat down at the VIP Table, I, off course, had the Roulette Championship slung over my shoulder throughout the meal. ”I expect you to treat my queen with the proper respect.”
“Of course sir.” The waitress responded with barely contained sarcasm as she forced a smile. “Do you want a wine list?”
”Duh!” Brooke responded simply and as the waitress walked away I could’ve sworn I saw her shaking her head. ”We are away from Marissa and this is perfect, especially since we’re going to film the promo for the gauntlet match while we are up here.”
”Exactly!” I responded before we shared a quick kiss. ”A perfect end, to a perfect evening.”
Meanwhile downstairs Marissa was standing by the hot plate, momentarily glaring up at us while she overheard the maître d’s conversation with the chef. “Excuse me chef but this young woman has been forced to dine alone on her twentieth birthday, can she dine at the VIP table?” The maître d’ asked and the head chef looked up at me.
“Of course, bring her up.” The head chef instructed the maître d and he motioned for Marissa to come up to the plate. “What’s your name darling?”
”Marissa.” Marissa introduced herself as she started to relax. ”Most people just call me Mari for short though.”
“Well Mari, you don’t look a day over eighteen.” The head chef complimented Marissa and she grinned in response. “Show her to the Chef’s Table James.”
“Of course.” The maître d responded before taking Marissa over to the Chef’s Table, she sat down and made herself comfy and he handed her a menu. “The cooks will look after you, enjoy your evening.”
”Thanks.” Marissa thanked him before taking the menu.
“Alright guys listen up, it’s this little lady’s twentieth birthday today and she is celebrating it alone.” The Head Chef instructed the cooks on the line and they nodded as they got the idea. “Her name’s Mari and we are going to treat her like she’s any other VIP Guest, got it?”
“Yes chef.” The brigade called back and Marissa grinned to herself.
”Maybe being away from them won’t be so bad?” Marissa whispered to herself as she glanced up at the VIP Room where me and Brooke were dining. ”Brooke’s probably thinking of fifty new and exciting ways to make the wait staff’s night hell just because she is turning twenty, she’s always had more dollars than cents.”
Back in the VIP room myself and Brooke had already ordered our full three course meal and while the waitress took it to the VIP Room Brooke was milking her status as a VIP for all it was worth.
”You really complained about the alcohol being non-alcoholic.” I stated as I glanced over at Brooke who shook her head. ”I need you sober for the promo and besides, they can’t legally serve you alcohol.”
”I don’t care, it’s my birthday! That’s the only thing that should matter! I’m a VIP and I should be allowed to act like one, laws be damned” Brooke responded bitterly before she took a sip from her drink. ”I am going to make her night hell just because!”
”Perhaps, but let’s just try to enjoy the night.” I responded as I shook my head and Brooke grinned. ”I’ll make arrangements when we finish the promo.”
”Knew there was a reason why I loved you.” Brooke responded with a grin before she kissed me. ”I’m thinking the shortrib ravioli for my starter, cowgirl bone in ribeye for my main with the lobster tail and lobster butter, chimichurri sauce and the crispy sprouts, with The Cloud for my dessert.”
”Excellent choice.” I responded before looking at the menu myself. ”And I will have the tuna tartare for my starter, the Australian Wagyu Flat Iron and the lobster mac and cheese, for my dessert? The Flourless Chocolate Cake.”
Back at the kitchen it wasn’t long before the head chef got Brooke and Logan’s order and as he read it out Marissa shook her head. ”Of course they are splurging.” Marissa whispered to herself as she made her choices. ”They are probably planning to leave me with the bill too!”
“Are you ready to order?” Marissa looked up and saw one of the line cooks, a young woman not much older than her, standing in front of the chef’s table. “Don’t worry about them, just try to enjoy your day.”
”Thanks, and yeah, I am.” Marissa nodded in response as she looked over the menu. ”For my starter I’ll have the crab cakes, for my main I’ll have the Australin Wagyu Carrera Tomahawk and my dessert will be the warm chocolate chip cookie.”
“Great choices, that steak will be perfect for you.” The cook responded as she took the order down, then she noticed the look on Marissa’s face. “Something on your mind?”
”It’s Logan, my sister’s boyfriend, he’s been making my life hell over the last few months.”.” Marissa explained and the line cook nodded sympathetically. ”Wish there were a way I could get back at them for this shit.”
“Well, you didn’t hear this from me.” The line cook responded as she grinned broadly. “But if you ask nicely you can send a message over the PA to them.”
”Really?” Marissa asked and when the line cook nodded a grin appeared on Marissa’s face as an idea popped into her head. ”I know you guys are professional cooks, but do you appreciate a good roast?”
“Are you kidding? That’s like. 50% of chef culture!” The line cook laughed and the rest of the brigade cheered in response. “Just name a time and we’ll get it set up,.”
”Well, if I’m right.” Marissa responded as her grin grew wider. ”It’ll be right after they finish their meal!”
And thus the night went on and as we prepared our promo we had no idea what Marissa was planning.
The S&K Steakhouse VIP Room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 9th of June 2025, 20:30pm
*promo time*
As we started filming our promo in the VIP Room I was carrying the Roulette Title over my shoulder with a big grin on my face.
”At last, this title is in the hands of a champion worthy of its legacy!” I stated as I motioned to the title slung over my shoulder. ”But it is by the will of a false king that I defend the title for the first time this Sunday in a Pin the Jackass Gauntlet Match! My challengers? Justin Smith, “Bulldog” Bill Barnhart and a final mystery opponent.
The former two do not matter to me, they will be dispatched with ease.” I stated as I glared at the camera. ”Yet it cannot be the false king Guy, that fool does not possess the intelligence to book himself in a title match so the question remains, who will be my final challenger in this match?”
Brooke scoffed as she chimed in.
”As I mentioned yesterday on Climax Control? Today is my birthday and so far? It has been excellent.” Brooke commented before she shook her head. ”Pity I have to ruin it by talking about people as pathetic as Justin Smith and Bill Barnhart! And as for that mystery opponent? We don’t care who it is, he will fall like the rest and Logan will retain! He reign is here to stay and I………” Brooke flipped some of her long dark red hair over her shoulder. ”Am here to slay!”
But before we could continue a new voice rang out over the speakers, one we knew all too well.
”Hi there folks! Marissa Shields here.” Marissa stated over the speaker and we looked around for the source. ”Today is me and my twin sister Brooke’s twentieth birthday but unfortunately, because she has more dollars than brains and sense, I have been left to dine alone while she wines and dines with a boyfriend with worse fashion sense, hair, manners, and decorum than anyone else on the Vegas strip! His name is Logan and remember to tip your wait staff! I’d say, “tip bigger than Logan” but, as Brooke will tell you, that wouldn’t be tipping in the negatives! Oh and by the way? I’ve left you guys with the bill! Happy birthday sis!”
The effect was immediate, laughter erupted from the wait staff, customers, and kitchen staff alike, us on the other hand?
”First she humiliates me at Climax Control and now this?!” I sneered as I started to fume. ”She will pay for this!”
”We’ll deal with her later, for now?” Brooke advised me as she turned my head towards her. ”Let’s get this promo done!”
”Very well! Justin Smith? You are not worthy of my time! you are challenging me for my title because the false king took pity on you!” I stated as I continued to fume and Brooke just stood there, arms folded before I continued to speak. ”Yes, you were my opponent in my debut match and yes, the false King Guy tries to make the match all about himself! My legacy will eclipse that fool as I move on to be one of the greats! You? Are nothing but stepping stone!”
At that point Brooke chimed in.
”Justin, if it weren’t for the grace of the false king I’d wonder how you even got in this match! Your win/loss record was pathetic when you faced Logan in his debut and it is just as pathetic now!” Brooke stated as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”You are no threat to Logan, never have been, never will be! You’d be the biggest loser on the SCW Roster if it weren’t for The Troll and somehow he’s in better shape than you!”
Next up, Bill.
”And now we move onto the senile old fool of the men’s division, “Bulldog” Bill Barnhart, another recipient of the grace of the false king!” I started as I folded my arms. ”Bill, we haven’t met but I know you all too well, you spread lies like a disease, you, and your equally pathetic wife! I suspected that we would fight eventually Bill but under the degree of the false king? That I didn’t anticipate, not that it’ll matter in the end.”
Brooke scoffs as she steps forward.
”Bill, Billy, William, Bulldog, waste of space and oxygen, whatever it is you like to be called? I don’t give a fuck!” Brooke stated as clenched a fist at the camera. ”All these years of being mediocre at best yet you continue to be gainfully employed by SCW, even getting occasional title shots like this one! We know that you a former Roulette Champ Bill and guess what? For as long as Logan reigns? You will never hold the Roulette Title again!”
And finally?
”What do you expect me to say about this mystery opponent? The false king isn’t foolish enough to book himself against me in a fight that he knows he can’t win, otherwise there would be no mystery so in other words? Guy is out.” I stated before I patted my Roulette Title. ”Is it Fenris? Alex Jones? The Troll? Felix Harnandez? Liam Davies? It doesn’t matter! They will all fall before me!”
Brooke then chimed in again.
”Let’s do some math, shall we? The False King will be too busy pretending he has any power beyond the four matches he booked, Fenris is too much of a coward to get back in the ring, Alex hasn’t been seen since Into the Void and The Troll? Felix? We’ve already got two losers in the match in Bill and Justin, we don’t need a third!” Brooke stated as she scoffed to herself. ”But in the end? None of this matters! Logan will go down as one of the greats and I will go down as one of the best managers in SCW History! This? is just a damn speedbump set by the false king!”
It's that simple.
”Pin the Jackass Gauntlet? Don’t make me laugh Guy, you’ve only added to my legacy!” I scoffed as I held the title aloft. ”Justin? Bill? These pathetic fools are who you throw in my path? This won’t take long! And Guy? If you truly are foolish enough to insert yourself into this match? Then I have one message for The False King, listen closely!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
”The king is dead!” I started before looking at my title with a mad grin. ”Long Live the King! Justin, Bill? I will stain your throne with the blood of those fools and whoever else you’ve selected as my third challenger, for it is written, for it is foretold! Woe to the Vanquished, for the dreams of pretenders to my title and their losses will not be mourned. Justin, Bill, Mystery Opponent? I COMMAND THEE KEEL! YOU WILL NOT DENY ME MY THRONE! And as they embrace oblivion? My reign as champion will live on!”
Brooke turned off the camera as the scene fades.
