Harper may have fallen short of winning back the Bombshell Roulette Title from Brittany Williams but Brittany didn’t retain the title either as Bella Madison eliminated her fellow second generation star to win the title for the first time! And with Violent Conduct coming up fast the search for Bella’s first challenger was coming with it and this week at Climax Control Harper was in action against Brittany, a match that could have implications for the title scene for obvious reasons! Can Harper win?

I don’t think I need to tell you that Summer XXXTreme didn’t go my way.
I mean yeah, the no contact clause between me and Cassie maintained the peace while we were on the cruise ship because our spots in the title matches we had been booked for were at stake but I ended up getting eliminated by Brittany, my only solace being the fact that Bella dethroned her to win the Bombshell Roulette Title for the first time meaning that Brittany’s reign lasted just as long as mine did as far as defences go, which is to say one defence.
On the plus side? Alexandra Callaway retained the Bombshell Internet Title over Cassie and Kat Jones so we can at least confirm that Cassie Wolfe’s title drought lives to see another day!
And after a pretty quiet July 4th (well, as quiet as a day with a shit ton of fireworks can be) I was ready for the next Climax Control card and Josh was making damn sure of that!
”Well so much for winning the Bombshell Roulette Title at Summer XXXTreme two years in a row.” I grunted to Josh after watching the final moments of the Ultimate X Over the Pool match between me, Bella, Brittany, Frankie and Seleana. ”Though I am happy for Bella and let’s face it, I get the bragging rights of having eliminated a former World Bombshell Champ so I guess it’s not all bad?”
“Bella’s been grinding away for years, nearly ten if my math is correct, she’s more than earned this.” Josh nodded in agreement as he folded his arms. “But we need to start thinking ahead Harper, the No Contact Clause between you and Cassie was only good for the cruise, that expired the moment we stepped off the ship and we both know that she’s going to be planning something for the next cycle.”
”And it’s the Violent Conduct cycle, AKA the PPV where everything is hardcore rules and the Roulette Stipulations are taken to the extreme.” I reminded Josh and he quickly nodded in agreement. ”And in between all that? I get to worry about what matches Christian and Evelynn have cooked up for me on the regular Climax Controls!”
“If nothing else? Cassie will have to worry about the same thing and with her birthday being next weekend I bet she wants to be booked on the first Climax Control of the cycle.” Josh nodded before I felt my phone go off and I checked it. “New Climax Control card?”
”Yep! And since they texted me it’s a safe bet that I’m booked.” I nodded to confirm my manager/trainer’s thoughts before I accessed the text message and read through it. ”Kat vs. Zenna, Cyrus vs. Ciaran, Bill vs. Zayviah, ah here we go! It’s me vs. Brittany.”
“Any Roulette Title implications?” Josh asked and I shook my head.
”Not that I can see, though we are the semi-main event under a rematch for the World Heavyweight Title between Miles and Alexander.” I responded as looked at the card. ”That said, we can definitely bet on two people watching this match closely, Cassie for obvious reasons and Bella because we’re both former Roulette Champions who she outlasted to win the title.”
“Yeah, if I were Bella? I’d be looking at that match like “who is going to use a win here as an excuse to come after my title?”, regardless of if it’s at Violent Conduct or at a future Climax Control.” Josh nodded in agreement before he motioned to the ring. “And on that note? That’s a pretty good excuse for you to start training, is it not?”
”Had a feeling you’d say that.” I nodded in agreement before I entered the ring to start my training rounds.
I don’t know what Cassie has planned next but since she’s my former best friend? All bets are off.

It’s strange to think that this whole mess started during what was supposed to be a fun tour,
I mean seriously, out of all the tours Cassie could’ve picked to betray me she picked the tour where the Climax Controls and PPVs were all taking part at theme parks around the world, capping off at Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan? If it weren’t for the fact that I walked out of Blaze of Glory with a shot at the Roulette Title in my hands I’d think she’d done it purely out of spite.
Cassie was the first Hero Academy graduate, she was out there making a name for herself while the rest of us worked our asses off to graduate, but she never got over the fact that I, the second graduate, eclipsed her within months.
At least helping my older cousin/SCW Hall of Famer Jessie Salco will help me take my mind off things.
”Can’t believe how much time has passed since Cassie decided to end Young Justice and our friendship.” I commented to Jessie as I did what I could around the house. ”Especially considering she helped me with Josh’s Hall of Fame induction speech at last year’s High Stakes.”
”Jealousy can get pretty fucking ugly when you let it fester for as long as Cassie has.” Jessie nodded as she did her part and her Chow Chow Titan watched on with his tail wagging. ”She was already showing signs when she spoke out against not being booked for High Stakes after missing last year’s Violent Conduct because she blew out her leg during that Roulette Contenders Match, but in the end it’s like she said, she was sick of being your sidekick.”
”I never saw her as my sidekick though.” I responded with a frustrated huff as I folded my arms. ”We were supposed to be equal partners in Young Justice, we both had Josh as our manager, help each other get stronger and have each other’s backs.”
”That may have been how you saw it but how did she see it?” Jessie asked as she leaned on the back of the couch and I stopped. ”Don’t forget, I’m a three time tag team champion in my own right, when everything is going well for both partners? Then that machine stays well oiled, but when one partner is getting a lot more attention than the other and more opportunities from management? Something’s bound to give.”
”Are we still talking about Young Justice?” I asked with a pointed look on my face and Jessie met it. ”Or the Metal and Punk Connection?”
”Look, all in all? Me and Amy carved out pretty respectable careers for ourselves in SCW, when we weren’t chasing the Bombshell Tag Titles? We hit the singles division like a storm, Roulette, Internet, World Bombshell…………..” Jessie trailed off as she shook her head. ”That last belt was the one I never held, we both know that, and the fact that Amy did didn’t exactly help my relationship with that belt, I’m not saying the parallels aren’t there but it took a lot less time for Young Justice to implode than the Metal and Punk Connection did, and even then we eventually made up.”
”Wrestling can be weird sometimes, huh?” I asked and Jessie nodded without hesitation. ”For now the best I can do is worry about Brittany, and if Cass gets involved? I’ll be ready.” I added and Jessie nodded before we resumed what we were doing.
Can’t get distracted.

*promo time*
Here we go.
”Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where’s the street wise Hercules defying the rising odds? Bonnie Tyler might be about twenty odd years before my time and hell, I didn’t even know she was Welsh but that song is still a banger, may she rest in peace.” I started as I learned against the ring ropes with my arms crossed. ”And it kinda fits the situation with Cassie that’s been brewing over the past few months, doesn’t it?
I mean it fits better than the lyrics to Total Eclipse of the Heart, doesn’t it?” I asked before smirking. ”But this Sunday that is all being moved to the background because I’ve got a match against someone else who was in the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match, the one who eliminated me only to lose the title to Bella, hello again Brittany!”
This will be good.
”Ever since you came back to SCW earlier this year you’ve been a pain in my backside, especially when it comes to me winning back the Roulette Title! And yeah, you owe your now ended reign to Cassie’s interference at Into the Void but that’s old news now, isn’t it?” I asked before tilting my head. ”Or are you old news yourself at this point?
I mean, you returned to SCW with a bang only for your reign to end with a whimper! And a splash if wanna get pedantic!” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”How long until you become just another face chasing after whoever’s holding a title? Whether that face is Bella, Alexandra or, as much as I hate the idea of one of my earliest enemies in SCW holding the top gold, Mercedes Vargas they need challengers and before long? You’ll just be another Bombshell in the perpetual challengers club!”
Yep.
”And when you get there? Say hi to Bea, Seleana and Zenna for me!” I added with a playful wink. ”As for our match? I’m about to do something I should’ve done at Into the Void and that’s beat you! Sure, the Roulette Title is obviously not on the line otherwise? This would be perfect but then again, can we honestly say that Bella won’t be watching?”
It’s that simple.
”Two former champions, both of whom were among her opponents in the Ultimate X Match including the now former champion, just saying!” I added before folding my arms. ”And more importantly I’m going to show you why I would’ve won and be celebrating somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy.”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
”Because the world may be holding out for a hero until the morning light who’s gotta be strong, who’s gotta be fast and gotta be larger than life but I’m holding out for a chance to get back in the winner’s circle!” I added as I grinned right at the camera. ”And you will be hoping for a white knight atop a fiery steed but I’m currently dreaming of what the world needs and that’s a new hero and her name is “The Slaytanic Avenger” Harper Mason!”
I turned off the camera as the scene fades.
