The opening shot is inside of the GO Gym, the professional wrestling academy, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The set up has been changed only slightly as the ring is now surrounded by a ringside barricade and one row of seats, currently occupied by such Sin City Underground and GRIME dignitaries, roster members and staff alike. They clap and stomp, providing enough noise that one might mistake them for being an audience that numbered the hundreds.
SCW ring announcer Justin Decent stands up from his place at ringside and brings the house microphone to his lips.
Justin: Hello, and welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada for Sin City Wrestling Climax Control! SCW would like to take this time to thank the Stevens family for opening up their training facility to Sin City Wrestling to continue entertaining the fans during this trying time the world is going through.
Those in attendance clap their hands together, giving their mutual thanks as the GO Gym has been opened up to SCU as well.
Justin: Now please welcome to the stage, SCW's own 'Hostess With the Mostess,' Amanda Hugginkiss!
The music begins as Amanda struts out onto the stage in high heels, and a shimmering, silver party dress.
Amanda: I don't feel like waiting to get inside
Watch me gettin' crazy up on the pole
All the guys are lookin' at me
Still hungover from a night of boozin'
When I get there I will always cut the line
Got my girls with me, the phone's buzzin' right
Everybody knows that I'm out tonight
While the bar guy mixes liquid and ice
Pulses through my body neon paradise
You don't have to tell me, I know I'm tight

The screen switches to a different location where former World Tag Team Champion Cookie S'Mores stares into the screen.
Cookie: Why did that seem so familiar?
The screen splits to a separate location to see her Party Girls tag team partner, Brandi Shotze, drinking a beer.
Brandi: Damned if I know!
And to ringside with Belinda Simone and Jason Adams...!
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to Sin City Wrestling and Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone!
Adams: Why do you thjink they don't call moustaches 'moutbrows?'... OhI'mJasonAdams!
Simone: Tonight's show is stacked, ladies and gentlemen! Highlighted by the main event, a match for the World Bombshell Championship! But it kicks off with a special challenge match as Caleb Storms issued this challenge to Tiberius of Elysia and Tiberius has accepted! It's Rock n Roll versus Gospel!
Adams: Then it's a Generation battle! Sammi Marlowe is one of the staples of the Bombshell division! She's been everywhere, accomplished everything! But tonight she's up against a rookie who wants to be everything Sammi already is; Tallyn!
Simone: Jack Washington is back! He has officially signed on the dotted line to become an SCW Superstar and his first official singles match is going to be a true test as he's up against the reigning Roulette Champion, Jack Russow, in a non-title affair!
Adams: Affair...
Simone: Not like THAT Jason!
Adams: Oh! Not that there's anything wrong with it! ... Up next! Griffin Hawkins wants the world title and that first step is a doozy because he's facing a former champion in Senor Vinnie!
Simone: One-half of the 2020 Blast From the Past Champions is in action next! Evie Jordan is on the fast track for the world title but she does not want to rest on her laurels and tonight she is in the ring with one of the Bombshell divisions premiere talents in Seleana Zdunich!
Adams: The Bombshell Roulette Championship is on the line next when Candy defends against her toughest challenge yet as she is up against the Great One aka Mercedes Vargas! The One, True Grand Slam Champion!
Simone: Two matches have already been signed and sealed for Into the Void IX! Ben Jordan defends the World Heavyweight title against Mark Cross, and Fenris battles Jake Raab in SCW's very first MMA fight! Now those four men are divided into teams as Ben and Fenris take on Mark and Jake in tag team competition!
Adams: And the Main Event for the World Bombshell Championship! Christina Rose lost her world title at Blaze of Glory VIII without being beaten, and she's using that fact to push for a shot at the gold right here, tonight against the brand new champion, Andrea Hernandez!
Simone: All this and much more on SCW Climax Control!
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Caleb's Labrador Puppy Lemmy waiting patiently for a treat from Katie as she instructs him to give her his paw, it's only at the point where Lemmy gives Katie both of his paws that he gets the treat before the camera pans over to Caleb as he is approached by Pussy Willow.
Pussy: Caleb, coming up next you are competing in the opening match against Tiberius the Great of Elysia, any last minute thoughts on the match?
Caleb: None that I didn't already state in my promo last Friday night but if Tibby thinks that I'll go down as easily as Stephan Callaway did last week, he's going to be so disappointed.
Pussy: Do you have anyone you want to face next week?
Caleb: I challenge one guy to a match and suddenly I'm the match challenger? The answer is no, if I am in action, I'll take whatever match I get even if it's a rematch with Fenris but until then, I have some holy ass to kick!
Caleb walks off top get ready for the match as the scene fades.
Justin Decent climbs up the stairs and slides between the ropes before moving into the middle of the ring to bring the microphone to his lips.
Justin:Tonight's opening match is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...
The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing accross the arena before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp.
Justin: From Syracuse, New York and weighing in at two hundred twenty pounds, he is "The Metal Storm" Caleb Storms!
Caleb makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring and throwing up the metal horns as he waits for his opponent
Adams: Caleb looking ready to face Tiberius tonight.
Simone: I have to say that he is looking confident for sure.
Adams: But then again, it is Tiberius. I hope Caleb isn't going to take the newcomer lightly.
Justin: His opponent...
The lights cut out of the arena as 'Messa da Requiem' begins to play. Lightning strikes down from the heavens and when the lights come back, Tiberius of Elysia stands center stage with arms spread out. The screen behind plays stormy clouds as his music blares creating an eerie sight. He makes his way down to the ring, swinging his staff, preparing for battle.
Justin: From the Isle of the Blessed, Tiberius.
In the ring, Tiberius makes his way to the corner where he lays his staff against the turnbuckles before turning to face Caleb who is waiting in the middle of the ring.
Simone: This match is ready to start off the night and what a match it is going to be.
Adams: Starting tonight with the bar up high. And there is the bell so let's go.
DING DING DING!
Tiberius and Caleb stand in the middle of the ring as the referee is telling them about a fair fight. Caleb nods before having his head rocked by a hard right from Tiberius. Caleb turns back to glare at Tiberius who has spread his arms wide and seems to be speaking to God. Caleb swings his own arm with a roundhouse that Tiberius ducks under then rushes the ropes. As he rebounds, Caleb backs up slightly to catch Tiberius with a drop toe hold that brings him to the mat quickly. Tiberius brings his hands to his face as Caleb gets to his feet and then reaches down to pull Tiberius up by the hair to whip him into the ropes. Tiberius rebounds off the ropes as Caleb hits a clothesline that sends the man to the mat again. Storms looks down at the man and then pulls him toward the corner. Laying him out, Storms climbs to the top rope but before he can launch himself off the top, Tiberius rolls out of the ring and then away from Storms. Caleb drops to the mat then watches as Tiberius is turned towards the superstars in the ringside area. Bouncing off the opposite ropes, Caleb launches himself between the ropes with a suicide dive that takes the two men to the floor and into the barricade. The referee moves to the ropes and begins to count as Tiberius and Caleb begin to move.
Adams: Tonight starting off with a barnburner here Belinda.
Simone: Both Tiberius and Caleb trying their best to end this match with a quick win. But you have to think that Caleb took a lot out of both men with that suicide dive.
Caleb crawls towards the ring steps as Tiberius uses the ring apron to pull himself to his feet. Walking towards Storms, Tiberius is quicker and grabbing him by the back of his head slams the head of Caleb into the metal steps twice before spinning and whipping him into the ring. Climbing the ringsteps, Tiberius slides between the ropes as Caleb is getting to his feet. Catching him from behind, Tiberius locks in a hammerlock on Caleb that raises him to his toes. Fighting his way to the ropes, he forces Tiberius to let the hold go by catching the top rope. Tiberius maintains the hold as Caleb is screaming at the referee to make Tiberius release him. At four, Tiberius lets the hold go and steps back as Storms moves along the ropes shaking his arm to get the feeling back into it. Tiberius watches as Caleb moves into the middle of the ring and the pair now lock up with Caleb catching Tiberius with a twist into a headlock. Before Caleb can drop him with a ddt, Tiberius lifts Storm over his head with a suplex out of nowhere. Caleb grabs the back of his head in pain as Tiberius rolls to his hands and knees. Getting up, Tiberius reaches for the legs of Storms and tries to lock him in a boston crab. Storms sees the ropes nearby and lunges enough to catch the bottom rope which he pulls himself towards. Tiberius is warned by the referee to release the hold on Caleb which he does by tossing the legs down.
Adams: Tiberius is beginning to take advantage of this match looking to use submission on Caleb Storms.
Simone: Caleb is a wily veteran who knows his ring positioning which is something you have to know if you are facing someone who relies on submission wrestling.
Caleb rolls out of the ring and then as Tiberius spreads his arms wide to the superstars, Caleb reaches into the ring and catches the ankles of Tiberius and takes him off his feet. Pulling on the legs of Tiberius, Caleb drags him towards the ring post and then viciously wraps his leg against the steel forcing a cry of pain from Tiberius. Grabbing the leg again, he pulls Tiberius against the steel again this time, he moves the other leg of Tiberius to the other side of the steel then holding both ankles, he looks left and right then puts his foot against the ringpost and yanks hard on the legs of Tiberius to force him hard against the steel. The referee warns Caleb to get in the ring as Tiberius grabs himself in pain as he fights away from the corner. Laying in a fetal position clutching himself, he is vulnerable to Caleb who rolls into the ring and then climbs the corner to hit a moonsault on Tiberius who is prone on the mat. Grabbing his leg, Caleb rolls Tiberius up in a pin attempt. Tiberius rolls his shoulder off the mat to break it up as Caleb tries to force it back to the mat.
Simone: Caleb attempting a pin but I don't think that Tiberius is beaten enough for a pin.
Tiberius breaks the pin again and Caleb gets to his feet frustrated as he pulls Tiberius up as well. Storms hits a sudden dropkick that rocks Tiberius who is close to the corner where his staff is and tries to grab it from its place. The referee sees him reach for it and gets between him and the staff. Tiberius angrily hits a round house on Caleb who had come up behind him. Storms hits the mat hard and is checked on by the referee. Tiberius moves to the corner and sets up his staff so it is pointing into the ring enough to do damage on Storms who is getting to his feet. Tiberius moves to help him and then drags him towards the corner where the staff is and then drives the head of Storms onto the top of the staff that opens a cut over the eye of Caleb who staggers away with his hands going to his head. Blood begins to seep through his fingers as the referee moves to check on him. Tiberius brushes the referee out of the way as he moves to lock a headlock on the staggered Caleb. The referee notices that the staff is in the ring and pushes it to the floor as Tiberius locks a choke hold on Storms who is fighting to grab the ropes. Grabbing the arm of Storms, Tiberius twists it into a hammerlock that forces the body of Caleb over. Tiberius wrenches the arm then rushes Storms into the corner shoulder first. Caleb goes down hard laying on the middle turnbuckle in pain.
Simone: Tiberius has taken control of the match.
Tiberius pulls Caleb to his feet and then pulls him to the middle of the ring where he locks in an abdominal stretch that he uses to devastating effect as he taunts both Caleb and the ringside superstars. Caleb attempts to fight out of the hold but Tiberius maintains control of him before hitting a pump handle slam on the weakened Storms. Pulling Storms to his feet, Tiberius whips him into the corner back first that has Caleb staggering towards Tiberius who hits the hand on God on Storms sending him to the mat. Moving to pull Storms into the middle of the ring, Tiberius uses the leverage of the legs of Storms to roll him up for the pin.
Simone: Caleb has nowhere to go Jason!
ONE!
Adams: Storms is fighting to kick out but Tiberius has him in a very bad position.
TWO!
Caleb is struggling but Tiberius manages to maintain the hold by grabbing at the tights of Storms as the referee can't see it.
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Tiberius
Tiberius tosses the legs of Storms to the side and rises to spread his arms wide as he speaks to God. Caleb gets to his feet and is talking to the referee angrily.
Adams: Caleb Storms is not happy Belinda.
Simone: Would you be happy Jason if you lost by having your opponent hold you by the tights? But
Jasmine St John and Caleb Storm leave the ring still talking as Tiberius climbs the turnbuckles and spreads his arms as if parting the Red Sea.
We cut backstage to find Alicia Lukas step out of the elevator leading down from the rooms to the gym and to the makeshift arena. She carries a gear bag and steps around the corner towards the rooms they are using as lockerrooms when Pussy W illow stops her
Pussy Willow: Alicia we have heard rumors that tonight you will be here looking for Bobbie Dahl. But you have a gear bag with you and..no match
Alicia looks down at the bag and smiles looking back up at Pussy
Alicia Lukas: Oh dear...never you mind what I have in my bag. But you're right. I am here to look for Bobbie Dahl. I will be on the lookout for her and...well..have you seen her?
Pussy shakes her head no and Alicia scoffs and pushes past her.
Alicia Lukas: Typical
We come back from a commercial break and we are taken to the inside of the ring. It is there where we are able to see all four members of the Gem Stones in the ring with their musical instruments and different various hair colours. Diamond smiles as she has her Internet Championship around her waist along with her long blonde hair, and a pink Gibson Les Paul strapped around her shoulder. Ruby has a baby blue Bass Guitar Ibanez SR800 around her shoulder with her blue hair, Sapphire with her green hair and a PRS Custom guitar, and of course Emerald with her pink hair and sitting behind a drum set. They all smile as they are all wearing wireless headset microphones. Diamond smiles as she glares out at the crowd of wrestlers.
Diamond: Good evening everybody. It is I your ONLY UNBEATEN, AND UNPINNED BOMBSHELL of 2020 not to mention the woman who is STILL your SCW INTERNET CHAMPION!
Ruby: That's right! Evie's team may have won the Blast From The Past but Diamond still remains flawless and the next stop on this tour of wreckage and chaos is of that of one very special Keira Johnson.
Sapphire: We are the GEM STONES and tonight we have so much we have to address but we are going to start this night right with a kickass concert!
Emerald: This concert will be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
The other three members of the Gem Stones glare at the pink haired beauty.
Ruby: Is that even a word?!
Emerald: Mary Poppins... Have you ever watched the bloody film?! Get with the times!
Diamond stands in the middle of the ring with a chuckle.
Diamond: Anyway this concert will be amazing and we have so much to address. First and foremost THE INTER-KATE has officially loaded with plenty of BANDWIDTH... So go to the best domain in all of the planet WWW.DIAMONDRULEZ.COM and you will get all of your Diamond needs. Now I just want to say it feels great to be a champion and honestly I was excited the moment Keira won her match. I would have expected her to be focus and to be ready for this big moment. I have CONSTANTLY tried to reach out to her so we could perhaps promote such an epic title showdown. I sent stuff in the snail mail! I sent post cards... I even sent a singing telegram...
Ruby: Oh like from the movie CLUE?!
Sapphire: Didn't Miss Scarlett kill that Telegram...
Diamond: I tried reaching out to her and yet I didn't get a single thing in return. For a woman who was so determined to break out of her shell to finally get that long awaited title match I haven't gotten anything. Yet I guess promoting this big match doesn't mean anything to her. If it involved food I bet she would be all over it. However I have so much respect for Keira so in honour of such an amazing hero who we hope would swoop right in during this damsel in distress' biggest need.
Ruby: Wouldn't you be a Diamond in Distress?!
Sapphire: ...
Emerald: ...
Ruby: Hey I am just saying!
Diamond: We want to present Keira Johnson with a special song that's dedicated to her and the wonderful time she spends about always issuing challenges to fight a champion but when it's time for promotion she simply disappears... We are taking it back to the 80s with...
Gem Stones: HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO!!!!!!!!
They all smile as they begin to play together.
Diamond: I NEED A HERO.... I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A KEIRA UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTT SHE'S GOTTA BE STRONG, SHE'S GOTTA BE FAST, AND SHE BETTER BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT..... I'LL BE HOLDING OUT FOR KEIRA UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Everyone breaks out into musical greatness as it sounds absolutely good. They finally come to an end as Diamond smiles.
Diamond: Keira whenever you are ready to get this show on the road by all means let's put on an amazing feud. Don't be missing... Don't make me question where's Waldo... or WHERE IN THE WORLD IS...
Gem Stones: CARMEN SAN DIEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Diamond smiles as she nods her head and continues to speak.
Diamond: But in all seriousness with Keira aside... last week Tony Thorn aggressively assaulted my husband in hopes of trying to bring the real him back. What exactly is he fucking talking about?! I can say that my husband Teddy has suffered a minor concussion last Sunday and thus has been ruled out for two weeks so therefore he won't be here tonight. Yet I am here tonight and I am not going to sit by and let this pompous dick assault that of my family. Juliet and I waited for Teddy to come back to his senses and come back to his family. Yet there you are and you just had to put your hands on my family and take away the very thing that we needed the most.
Diamond shakes her head.
Diamond: Actions like that don't sit well with me or any of the Gem Stones for that matter. So tonight we will go on a hunt, and we will get our hands on Tony Thorn. He could find himself with an electric guitar smashed against his forehead. He could have a drumstick shoved up his you know what and of course my other best friend not named Melody Grace in the form of Ruby knows how to use a bass guitar. He better watch his back because he's got four angry women on his tail. So watch out Tony because are gunning for you right about now!
With that the girls continue to play for a bit before they all leave the ring. They seem to be on a mission and are on the hunt for one Tony Thorn.
Although Bill Barnhart is not assigned to a match as this edition of Climax Control we heard he wanted to make comments on his match last week against Kris Ryans and his future matches in Sin City Wrestling. The giant Tron screen flashes on and we see Bill Barnhart on the screen. He is casually dressed in blue jeans and a black pullover shirt. The crowd is murmuring in anticipation of what Bill is going to say.
Bill: I told you I was gonna change my attitude and be more aggressive in the ring and I proved that last week against Kris Ryans. Was it an easy match? Hell no! Kris is one tough wrestler and he kept up the fight against me for longer than I thought he could. Kris I know we will see you holding a Championship again soon and I respect your accomplishments and how well you held up against me last week.
The crowd, not accepting Bill's turn to the dark side and becoming more aggressive and mean in the ring, start booing him.
Bill: Boo me all you want but I'm not gonna change my stance on how I approach wrestling matches from now until the end of time. Last week was a preview of more to come so keep your eyes on me.
The crowd gets louder in their booing and yelling insults his way.
Bill: BOO yourselves unconscious! I don't care! All I care about is winning wrestling matches and destroying opponents in the process. Thanks for enjoying your time listening to me comment on things. You are truly blessed to have the pleasure to hear me talk. Bye!
As soon as the word Bye leaves Bill's mouth the giant Tron screen goes black leaving the crowd murmuring.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall introducing first... hailing from Orlando, Florida... Tallyn...
The arena goes dark for about three seconds before the lights flicker on three times before "NIGHTMARE" by Halsey begins to play over the sound system. A moment or two later, Tallyn walks out onto the stage, strutting a little before she stops in the center of the stage and looks around before smirking before walking down the ramp, the same strut in her step. She stops at the bottom of the ramp and places her hands on her hips before looking to her left and then to her right before she walks to her right and walks around the right side of the ring. She picks a side and hops up onto the edge of the ring, sitting for a moment with one foot on the ring and one dangling before standing up and dipping down low under the middle rope and getting into the ring. She steps into the middle of the ring and just smirks, her hands back on her hips.
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 empty seating 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 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.
The ref moves in and check both ladies for weapons before indicating for the bell to ring.
DING DING DING
Marlowe and Tallyn circle the ring before inching towards each other and then locking up in the centre of the ring, they briefly jockey for position but Marlowe breaks the hold and she drops down grabbing Tallyn's leg and goes for a quick pin...
ONE!
Kickout!
Simone: Marlowe and Tallyn lock up but it's only brief, as quickly as you blink Marlowe goes fo a quick surprise pin for a one count.
Tallyn kicks out, as Marlowe is the first to her feet while Tallyn take a little long and is still on her knee, as Marlowe grabs Tallyn and rolls her onto her back for another pin attempt...
ONE!
Kickout!
Adams: Marlowe tries again but again another one count.
Simone: Certainly, some interesting early tactics from Sam Marlowe here.
Tallyn kicks out against, as Marlowe shuffles towards Tallyn, who is also sitting up as they both look to get the upper hand, as they make their way to their feet, as Tallyn grabs Marlowe's arm and twists it and latches in a wrist lock. Marlowe grimaces in pain as she looks for a way out and she drops and rolls through loosening the hold, where she stays on her knees and before swiping a leg out from underneath Tallyn sending her down to the mat, which breaks Tallyn's hold, which Marlowe is quick to counter as she grips Tallyn's and as she rolls over Tallyn before locking in attempted chicken wing submission but Tallyn quickly shuffles her legs around and wraps them around the bottom rope, as the ref moves in and forces Marlowe to releases her hold.
Adams: I don't why Marlowe isn't going with her usual style, she is just being lured into Tallyn's technical style, which Tallyn is enjoying herself.
Simone: Marlowe briefly gets back in the match as she counters Tallyn and tries for a submission hold of her own but Tallyn uses her feet to grab the bottom rope forcing Marlowe to break her hold.
Marlowe releases the hold as she and Tallyn get to their feet, as they both stare at each other before moving away from each other as they once more circle the ring before moving back in and locking up, where they jockey for position for a moment as Tallyn breaks the hold and goes behind Marlowe as she feigns a full nelson before grabbing Marlowe arm and proceeds to tie her up into a hammerlock. Marlowe claws at her shoulder as Tallyn keeps the move locked in for a few extra seconds before releasing and putting Marlowe into a headlock.
Simone: Marlowe needs to make more of impact in this match because its all Tallyn at the moment.
The headlock is only brief as she switches sides before switching and grabbing Marlowe arm into another hammerlock, where Marlowe takes a moment before bringing an arm backwards as she grabs Tallyn's head before slowly sinking down to the mat, which forces Tallyn to break the hold and Marlowe rolls away before climbing to her feet and grabs Tallyn and puts her into a headlock of her own.
Adams: Great counter by Marlowe.
Simone: Indeed, but I think Marlowe is deep down is itching to get flying around the ring.
Marlowe cranks on Tallyn's head but Tallyn begins to fight as she grabs at Marlowe hands and breaks her grip before gripping her around the waist, but Marlowe is quick to break the hold, as she holds Tallyn's hand before battering it away before going to kick her in the stomach but Tallyn grabs her foot and twists herself around sending Marlowe down to the mat.
Simone: Just as Marlowe looks to be getting into this match, Tallyn just turns it around.
Adams: Tallyn certainly wants to make a statement and it seems she is making one.
Tallyn is back up to her feet as she gloats as Marlowe sits up and moves to her knees as she holds her chin as she glares at Tallyn. AS she rises to her feet, Tallyn turns and bounces off the ropes as Marlowe drops to the mat as Tallyn leaps over her and bounces off the ropes on the other side of the ring, where Marlowe climbs back to her feet and hits a an arm drag. They both gets to their feet as Marlowe hits another arm drag but this time keeping hold of Tallyn and her arm and locks in an arm bar.
Adams: That moment of gloating from Tallyn might have turned the tables, as Tallyn turns and bounces off the ropes as Marlowe flattens herself down as Tallyn leaps over her and rebound off the ropes but Marlowe is expecting her and hits arm drag.
Simone: They both get back to their feet for only Marlowe to hit another arm drag but this time she keep a hold of Tallyn's arm for an arm bar.
Tallyn battles to her feet, which forces Marlowe to her feet, Marlowe directs Tallyn towards the corner, where she then whips Tallyn into the corner, Marlowe goes to follow through but Tallyn dodges and Marlowe stops herself as Tallyn comes rushing and Marlowe gets an elbow up and she connects to Tallyn's face.
Simone: Tallyn battles to her feet, which forces Marlowe to release but Marlowe isn't too fazed, and she whips Tallyn into the corner but Tallyn is ready for the follow up.
Adams: But Tallyn isn't ready for the high elbow from Marlowe.
Tallyn stumbles away a little holding her face, as Marlowe takes a few steps back before leaping onto the ropes and then hitting a springboard tornado DDT on Tallyn. Marlowe crawls over to Tallyn and goes for a pin...
Adams: Marlowe takes advantage and hits a springboard tornado DDT to Tallyn and goes for a cover...
ONE!
TWO!
Th...kickout!
Simone: She comes close but Tallyn kicks out.
Marlowe looks to the ref, which the ref indicates that Tallyn kicked out. Marlowe lets out a heavy breath as she makes her way to her feet, as she bends down and grabs a handful of Tallyn's hair and pulls her up to her feet, where she whips her into the corner once more as she quickly follows up with a splash.
Adams: Marlowe can't believe Tallyn kicks out, however, she doesn't let that get to her and she climbs to her feet at the same time grabbing Tallyn by the hair and sends her into the corner and follows up with a splash.
Simone: Marlowe is now in her element.
Tallyn drops down to the mat into a seated position, which Marlowe smirks and backs up before rushing in and hitting a bronco buster. Marlowe rolls herself off Tallyn and back to her feet, as she grabs Tallyn foot and drags her away from the corner, where she quickly follows up with a standing moonsault.
Simone: Marlowe hits a bronco buster.
Adams: My favourite move.
Simone: Marlowe follows up with a standing moonsault. Looks like Marlowe has this all wrapped up.
Marlowe grabs Tallyn and begins to set up for the Sammi Wrap (Guillotine Choke Hold). Marlowe locks it in fully and makes sure her grip is tight. Tallyn tries to find a way out of the move but with little luck and she has no option but to tap out.
Adams: Tallyn taps.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The Winner of this match via submission... Sam Marlowe
Marlowe's music hits over the p.a as she releases her submission hold before making her way to her feet, as she ref grabs her hand and raises it up in victory.
Backstage, the cameras came across Jack Russow in the hallway just outside the locker rooms, fully dressed in his gear and looking like he was ready for his upcoming match. Beside him, Alanah O'Connell was pacing nervously as she nibbled on her thumbnail. Jack reached out and pulled her towards him, wrapping her up in a tight hug.
Jack Russow: It's alright, babe. No one's gonna get to us here at the arena.
Alanah O'Connell: How do we know that for sure, though?
Jack couldn't answer her, so he just hugged her tighter. A sudden noise had them both jumping, and Jack immediately pushed Alanah behind him and got into a fighting stance. But they both relaxed when they saw Lachlan Kane come around the corner. He spotted the couple and immediately ran up to them, hugging Alanah.
Lachlan Kane: Are you two OK? Bella told me what happened at the hotel.
Alanah O'Connell: We're fine...other than jumping at every noise we hear and shadow we see.
Lachlan looked to Jack, shaking his head sadly.
Lachlan Kane: You'd think SCW would be the safe haven from all this bullshit.
Jack Russow (laughing bitterly): Yeah, right. Syn's not exactly the kind of guy to respect company boundaries.Lachlan Kane: Clearly. Any luck finding your friend?
Both Jack and Alanah shook their heads sadly.
Alanah O'Connell: And now Mack's gone missing too.
Jack Russow: More like he's on the warpath. I don't think we're going to see him until he finds Mattie...and he's got Syn and his father's heads on pikes.
Lachlan Kane: So, what's the game plan in the meantime?
Alanah O'Connell: I don't think there's much we can do, besides try to go on with our lives and pray that Mack and Mattie turn up safe.
Lachlan Kane: Well, after that attack...
Jack Russow: Speaking of which, I'm actually glad you're here now. I was kinda worried about going out there for my match and leaving Alanah back here by herself...
Lachlan held up his hands.
Lachlan Kane: Say no more. I won't let her out of my sight.
Jack smiled in relief as he held out his hand which Lachlan took in a handshake.
Jack Russow: Thanks, man. That takes a load off my mind.
Alanah stepped up to Jack and gave him a soft kiss before hugging him tightly.
Alanah O'Connell: Now, you get out there and show them just why you're the Roulette Champion, my Wild Child.
Jack smiled at her, kissing her back.
Jack Russow: Anything for you, my Wild Irish Rose.
With that, Jack headed off to the gorilla position with a confident swagger in his step as Lachlan wrapped his arm around Alanah's shoulders as they watched him go.
The GO Gym was a marvel to behold, if you wanted to see what a 'real' performance center looked like. While the show was currently thrilling fans watching at home from around the world, 'backstage' in the gym where all of the free-weights and state-of-the-art workout machines were located, a pre-match workout was taking place with a graduate of this very facility, Fenris. The man stood with his usual perpetual scowl on his face, clad in his wrestling attire as he whipped stinging shots into one of three free standing boxing punching bags. He was not alone, however, and no we are not speaking of his brother and manager, Aron. This time he is being joined and 'spotted' by his friend and tonight, tag team partner, Ben Jordan.
Ben also is dressed in his ring gear for the evening, but he is standing on the opposite side of the boxing stand, holding it steady with both hands so Fenris could lay into it with his hardest shots, allowing it no give.
Left!
Left!
Right!
Ben staggered back a step but still, kept it steady and he broke into one of those trademark, charming smiles that made fans swoon.
Jab! Jab!
Ben: C'mon, mate! You're not giving me your all! I thought you wanted to keep your MMA skills sharp??
Fenris: I. Am!
Sweat beaded on Fenris's brow, as Ben could not help but bust his chops.
Ben: The hell you are! Me nan can deliver a harder shot than...Whmph!
Ben is sent staggering back a handful of steps, losing his handhold on the boxing stand as Fenris switched from using his fists to deliver a kick, of which opponents acknowledge are even more dangerous than his punches! Ben could not help but laugh as he ran his fingers through his hair while Fenris raises a brow.
Fenris: You were saying?
Ben smiles, holding up both hands in mock surrender.
Ben: Makes me glad we're partners tonight and not opponents. Don't fancy having you kick my melon off again any time soon!
Fenris just smirks, knowing he came out on the losing end of both encounters with Ben, but holds no grudge or ill will over the fact. He grabs a free towel and wipes at the sweat that is already glistening on his face and body, while Ben nods his head for his attention.
Ben: So what's got you so worked up? Is it because of what happened on Twitter between you and Mikah this morning?
Fenris paused, lowering the towel and frowning over the edge at Ben.
Ben: She right? You got a little green eyed monster brewing?
Fenris: Over her and Kris? Ben, I ought to kick your damn head off for even suggesting it.
Ben: Then, what?
Fenris sighed as he slung the towel over his left shoulder.
Fenris: Let's clear the air, right now. What happened between Kris and myself? That's nobody's god damn business. But we ended it -- mutually -- two fucking years ago! I moved on since then. Ty West? Ring a bell?
Ben holds up a hand and looks heavenward.
Ben: Don't remind me.
This time, it's Fenris who smiles. Knowing full well how Ben (and others) felt about his ex.
Fenris: My point is, does she really think I spent two years pining over someone I spent one night with? Or that when he shows up again with her legs wrapped around his waist, that I immediately want him again?
He shakes his head and sets his hands on his hips.
Fenris: I think the world knew the two were knocking boots years ago. If it didn't piss me off then, than why would it now?
Ben shrugs.
Ben: Why does it?
Fenris: Because the bitch is setting him up for a fall! How many men has she latched onto, or tried to latch onto, since she first showed up? It's a fucking pattern with her; find a man, try to hit it, then move on to the next. Kris isn't anything more to her than a great lay. She coos and oohs and ahhs over him, just like she's done every other man she's shown a damn interest in. It's the exact same process she's run with every other man she's shown an interest in, Drake Green included. And look what happened there!
Ben can't help but nod in the affirmative.
Fenris: Kris deserves better than a bed hopping relic. The bitch doesn't even work here, and yet she's allowed to come and go as she pleases??? It's one thing with Candy and Kris ... but they actually work here! She doesn't! She's a glorified ring rat! How many people has she put at risk just so she can hang out backstage and think of her best days that are LONG behind her??
Ben: That's something you should probably bring up with the bosses.
Fenris scoffs.
Fenris: Considering her past accolades, I doubt it'll do any good.
Ben smiles slowly, then reaches out and claps a hand on his friend's shoulder.
Ben: Forget her, Kristjan. We have better things to focus on. Let's go kick some arse.
Fenris then allows Ben to guide him out of the gym and toward the arena.
Simone: Earlier today, we had something filmed for you all concerning where we are right now, The GO Gym.
Adams: Some people have commented on it not being a gym open to all, so today, London Underground recorded this very special tour to show you the inner workings of a place that produced so many SCW and SCU champions.
The camera starts to show Daniel J Morgan set against a dark background, his suit perfectly placed, tailored to his body type. The camera moves a little closer.
Daniel: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to something I'm sure you never expected to see, what is actually behind the walls of the GO Gym. This place has trained many superstars including me to go on and be champions and we know there's some who questioned why this is closed off to people it doesn't train. Well the answer is simple but more on that in a bit. We're gonna show you some places that are off limits to people not associated with the gym and just why Gabriel and Odette Stevens are the most complete trainers in the world bar none.
The scene changes to where Mackenzie Page stands inside a medical room, a bed in the middle and large cupboards around a very sterile looking area.
Mackenzie: Now I know why these fuckers made me talk about this place because fuck knows how many people I've sent here in training. This is one of the most well equip medical areas anywhere. Not like your usual little shitty gyms and their first aid kit in a green box. This is fucking legit, this has portable x rays machines, diagnostic machines, everything stocked to treat any injury, it's a few sharp knives and a fucking surgeon away from being an operating room. Through every single training session, there is a physiotherapist and a doctor on standby, which is needed at times, cause some people need a good hard slap, but any injury can get great treatment here, before being taken off to hospital. Name me one training place that trains wrestlers that have this kinda stuff here. You fucking can't but I bet after seeing this, all training places will claim to have one, and we know that's a load of old bollocks. Your turn Os.
The camera cuts to where Osbourne stands in a well equip gym, work out machines all over the place of different styles, from treadmills to weights, to heavy bags. Everything you could imagine. Osbourne looks at the camera and opens his mouth to speak, but shakes his head and points down and a subtitle reads "It's a gym, you figure it out." The camera quickly changes to Nick George.
Nick: Now what Osbourne was trying to say is that might look like a workout room to you but it's far beyond that. Oh yeah, there is everything your average meathead can want in there, but Gabriel and Odette tailor every work out to everyone's need. They sit and watch and strengthen your weaknesses and polish your strengths with custom work out schedules. They don't treat everyone the same and tell them to do the same thing, no one likes a bunch of generic robots. So where am I?
The camera zooms out to see a green screen.
Nick: Well this place is where we learn to talk. Wrestling ain't just about smashing ya fist in to someone's face unfortunately, you have to learn to have a chin wag with the crowd. All part of the training to turn people in to the best wrestlers they can be. This green screen is fun. Someone put me back in the wild wild west.
The green screen changes to a scene in the wild west.
Nick: No matter what character, no matter what situation, the screen gives you what you want and helps ya get in to who ya wanna be. They work with you for hours perfecting your promo skills. Now most gyms say you just learn to wrestle and piss off, this one don't. Now someone put me in space while you go have a chat with Charley.
The green screen behind Nick changes to a space setting but the camera cuts to Charlotte Elliot, standing inside a classroom, chairs lined up facing another screen as Charlotte sits on a desk.
Charlotte: I can hear you there, a classroom in a gym? It should be getting through to you that this ain't no ordinary gym. I'm standing in a classroom where four nights a week, Gabriel or Odette will stand here and teach us many things. We learn the history of wrestling, the people who came before us, the people who are currently active. We learn everything from match types, to what made people successful in their runs. We even have guest lectures on how to prevent injury, on diet, conditioning. Wrestling isn't just about the physical side, it's about the mental side and Gabriel and Odette teach that. They drill in a healthy amount of respect for a business and teach every student right, every student proper. We don't walk out of here ready to fight, we walk out of here mentally ready to be on that road every night, to stay in the best mental health, the best physical health. Do you think other trainers care that much or just care about your money? There's no gym with a classroom because most people sit there, train, go home. You don't become the best without putting in the hours, right Daniel?
The camera cuts back to Daniel, now with a wider shot, showing him standing in a six sided ring.
Daniel: Bang on Charley. All this stuff happens to make us the best, a lot of the time before we even stand where we are now, inside a six sided ring.
Daniel points to the entrance ramp leading to the ring.
Daniel: That's not there because SCW put it there, it's there all the time because again, another thing that Gabriel and Odette do is help you work on tiny things like your entrance, your costumes, as well as what you've seen with your physical health, your body type and your promos and you think it's fine to put us with the rest of the run of the mill gyms?
Daniel shakes his head as Charlotte, Mackenzie, Osbourne and Nick join Daniel in the ring, standing two each either side of him.
Daniel: This should show you all, especially you apparent people that get a little hurt over this not being open to every SCW SCU or GRIME wrestler.
Mackenzie: Or as I call them, people who need to shut the fuck up and stop acting like babies.
Daniel: Yeah, those guys. The level of detail that goes in to each and every wrestler, the level of training couldn't have happened if this place was constantly swarmed with people just wanting to leave their sweat on something for free. Do you think Evie or Fenris would have gone on to have the success they had if their heads were on a swivel looking at who was coming in while Gabriel or Odette were trying to teach something important? How about Dani or Devona? Do you think they would have been as good if you had the likes of Mikah just walking in here taking the shine away from what was being taught? Look at us, we are good and focus cause we never had this place turn in to Piadilly circus, same could be said for O'Malley. The man needed special work to focus that great anger on to something to give him a future, which wouldn't have happened if anyone could walk through the door.
Daniel pauses for a second.
Daniel: What about the next generation, the younger generation, people like Tallyn, who is phenomenal, or HB Carter? Ariana Angelos or the soon to be heading to SCU, Krystal Wolfe? These are young impressionable stars who needed the focused training to be the best they can, without the distraction. This is why this gym is the best in the world. It don't allow outside distractions with bad habits tainting the best students in the world. We have Aron and Nick waiting to break on to the scene and trust me, Nick don't need any more bad habits brought on by people who would walk in here with an ego and look down on people.
Daniel looks towards Nick, then back to the camera.
Daniel: So I hope you've enjoyed seeing what we've shown ya today and if ya still can't get through your head why this is a closed gym, you're beyond help and it says a lot more about you, then it does about us. Just appreciate the fact that ya working here and that because of this place, you're surrounded by some of the best in the world.
Daniel nods as the camera fades back to the ring.
We see Bill Barnhart, Bea Barnhart, and their English Bulldog Iris, relaxing in their room at the Saxon Hotel. Bill is watching television with Bea while Iris is staring at a photo of Pete the Cactus.
Iris: *sigh*
Bill: Oh stop it Iris! I'm only letting you continue to date Pete the Cactus due to losing my match against Senor Vinnie and that was one of the stipulations of the match.
Bea: Relax Bill. Iris is an adult dog, and we have our promise to keep due to the match stipulations, so just accept it.
There is a knock on the door and Bill opens the door. What he sees is Pete the Cactus standing at the door with a large pan of lasagna in front of him. Pete is holding a sign that reads: Iris. Roses are red. Violets are Blue, This lasagna is yours and I am too! Iris runs to the door to meet Pete but it is apparent Iris is more interested in the lasagna than she is of Pete.
Bill: You deal with this Bea! I can't sit here watching Pete the Pervert swoon over my Iris! I'll be walking around the hotel. Call me when Pete is gone and I'll return to our room.
Pete walks into the room with the lasagna and his sign and Bill exits the room and closes the door on his way out. Bea asks Iris and Pete to come into the kitchen area where they can have privacy while they eat their meal.
Bea: Pete I thank you for your poem for Iris with the mention of Violets. Speaking of Violets there is Violet Amelia Holt I want to get my hands on again. Violet you managed to pick up a victory at Climax Control 266 and you must have a big ego now. Let me deflate that ego by reminding you that you lost to me in two matches both by submission. Do you want to try for a third loss to me? If so talk to Management and see if they are willing to toss you as a sacrifice to me. I defeated you twice and I'll do it again!
Bea settles down on the couch and watches a bit of a program that is on. After a short time Pete and Iris exit the kitchen area and it is apparent Iris probably ate the entire pan of lasagna that Pete brought to her. The two walk to the door where Bea opens the door and Pete departs after planting a kiss on the cheek of Iris. Pete disappears down the hallway and Bea calls Bill and shortly Bill returns to their dressing room. When Bill sees Iris with a huge smile on her face he grunts and walks past her to go into the bedroom to shower and change clothes.
* end *
Justin: The following contest is a non title match and scheduled for one fall, introducing first....
"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.
Justin: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at two hundred and thirty five pounds, he is Jack Washington!
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
The lights kick out in the arena as a scream fades from soft to loud...
"KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH, AND YOUR HEAD DOWN LOW!!!"
A sheet of sparks showers from the rafters and "All I Want" by A Day To Remember's chorus blares as a young man walks through and kneels whispering to himself as he kisses the inside of his wrist.
Justin: From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds, he is the SCW Roulette champion.... Jack Russow!
Then he grabs his hood and flips it up screaming in excitement for the fans who are sending him nothing but love and energy...the second coming of The Russows...young Jack Russow has taken the stage. Without wasting time he makes a beeline for the ring, slides under the rope, runs towards the opposite rope, handspring flips then corkscrews in midair landing on both knees with his arms outstretched smirking into the camera.
Adams: Two of the best young stars in the world about to go at it Belly!
Jack Washington and Jack Russow are standing diagonally from each other as Jacob Summers stands in the middle of the ring. He asks both men if they are ready to begin. Washington shrugs his shoulders as Russow nods his head. Jacob looks at both men before signaling towards the time keeper.
DING DING DING!
Both men step out of their corners and heads right for the center of the ring. Washington is smirking as Russow is holding out his hand in an act of sportsmanship. Washington looks down at the hand then back up at Russow. He reaches his own hand out and shakes Russow's hand firmly. Russow wants to let go however Washington pulls Russow in before dropping him with a vicious clothesline. Russow hits the canvas as Washington drops to knee and proceeds to drive multiple right hands directly into Russow's skull. Jacob admonishes Washington about his fists before starting to count. Washington stops at the count of three before picking Russow up off the canvas. He grabs him by the arm and whips toward the ropes.
Russow rebounds off the ropes and ducks a clothesline attempt. He rebounds off the other ropes and catches Washington with a jumping calf kick. Russow follows it up with a standing shooting star press before capping off combination with a quick leg drop across the throat. Russow quickly goes for a quick pin attempt as Jacob slides into position.
ONE!
Jacob only manages a one count as Washington kicks out emphatically. Russow had a feeling it was too early for that attempt but couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Simone: Washington wasn't playing around tonight. He wants to show Mark and Christian that he should have been the number one contender.
Adams: He sure came out swinging.
The match rolls on as Russow is already back up to his feet with his hand around the base of Washington's neck. He drags him back up before sending him back down with a reverse neckbreaker. Washington grabs a hold of his neck before rolling out of the ring. He leans against the barricade while mouthing several bad words under his breath. Russow slides out on the opposite side of the ring. He breaks into a sprint while running around the ring but gets caught with a vicious clothesline from Washington. The back of Russow's head smacks off the gym floor as Washington picks him back up before sending him back first into the barricade.
Russow leans against the barricade as Washington quickly lifts him up then drops him chest first across the steel. Russow grunts as Washington rolls into the ring then right back out.
Simone: That was a veteran move by Washington. He knew Jacob was a count of five and decided to break the count.
Adams: Russow doesn't look good right now.
Russow is holding his chest as Washington grabs him by the trunks and drives a forearm into the small of Russow's back. Washington maintains a tight grip on Russow's tights before scooping him up from behind before dropping him face first right back onto the gym floor. In the distance, Kedron Williams can be seen sitting near the back of the gym with a slight smile on his face. Meanwhile, Washington is continues the assault on Russow's back by driving his knee multiple times into it. Jacob reaches the count of seven as Washington forcefully lifts Russow up and throws him into the ring. Washington then climbs up onto the ring apron then onto the top rope. He kneels in position while measuring Russow. He stands up as Russow is back up to his feet. Russow is just turning around as Washington flies off looking for a clothesline but Russow catches him with a dropkick.
Washington drops hard as Russow is still favoring his lower back. Russow gets back up to a vertical base as he bounces off the ropes and lands a quick elbow drop to the back of Washington. Russow lands another elbow drop into the exact same spot. Washington grunts as Russow grabs him by the neck and lifts him up off the canvas. Russow hooks his arm around Washington's neck then grabs him by the arm. He takes his nearest foot and sweeps his leg out from under him.
Adams: Russow displaying some technical wrestling.
Simone: I have a feeling Washington will have an answer.
Russow rolls back up to his feet while looking down at Washington. He runs toward the ropes but doesn't realize that Washington had gotten back up as well. As Russow rebounds off the ropes, Washington catches him in a quick bearhug before tossing him over head with a beautiful belly to belly suplex. Russow bounces off the canvas as Washington follows it up with a running back senton dropping all of his weight down across Russow's sternum. Washington knows it's still early for a pinfal attempt as he picks Russow up off the canvas. He hammer throws him toward the corner which causes Russow to bow his back upon impact. Russow wobbles out of the corner as Washington catches him with a wicked discus clothesline.
Washington then gets up onto the middle rope before leaping off them in hopes of landing an elbow drop. Instead, he hits nothing but canvas as Russow rolls out of the way. Russow gets back up to his feet as he runs at Washington. He then catches him flush across the nose with a shin after striking with a shining wizard. Russow once again goes for the cover but Jacob waves it off as Washington is too close to the ropes. Russow leaps over Washington while grabbing him by the arm. He pulls Washington back up to his feet. He shoots Washington off towards the opposite corner. Russow follows him in with a corner clothesline then follows it up with a pele kick. Washington drops down in the corner as Russow backs up a bit. He comes running back towards the corner and strikes with a meteora driving Washington's head into the turnbuckle. Russow grabs Washington by the ankle and drags him out of the corner. He goes for the quick cover as Jacob slides into position.
ONE!
TWO!
Jacob is about to hit for three until he looks at the rope where Washington's hand is holding it. Jacob stops the count as Russow stands back up to his feet. He steps through the ropes and climbs up onto the top rope. He is looking for something big but he takes just a little too much time as Washington catches him with a quick upper cut. Russow sits on the top rope as Washington follows him up onto the top rope.
Simone: I don't like the look of this.
Adams: It's either going to work or it's going to be a complete bust.
Washington grabs a hold of Russow's arm and throws it over his head. He then hooks Russow's head. Washington looks to lift Russow up but Russow lands multiple rights into Washington's ribcage. The final punch lands hard as it loosens Washington's grip. Russow then lands a headbutt which knocks Washington off but not down. Russow regains his composure as Washington gets back up to his feet. Before Russow can leap off, Washington picks him off the ropes while holding him onto his shoulders. He takes a few steps out before dropping Russow with his patent death valley driver.
Adams: Has Jack Washington found THE ANSWER?
Washington immediately goes for the pin as Jacob slides into position.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Jacob signals for the bell.
Justin: Here is your winner....Jack Washington.
Washington stands up to his feet but shoots a look at Jacob. Jacob decides not to get closer as Jack Washington leaves the ring.
We are taken to the backstage area and it is here where we are able to see the likes of Diamond along with her best friend from the Gem Stones Ruby. The two of them are in the locker room as Diamond seems to a bit uneasy.
Diamond: Where the hell are Sapphie and Emerald?! It shouldn't take this long to get a few muffins from catering.
Ruby: Relax you know how Emerald always uses the bathroom. I swear that girl is like a peeing machine. Just take it easy things are fine, and you are thinking too much of everything.
Diamond shakes her head as she looks back at one of her closest friends.
Diamond: Maybe I am worrying too much. I just want us to really stage this attack. Tony has a lot to answer for and he took away my pride and joy. If he wanted a piece of my husband he should have done so like a man. Called him out like a man and fought him straight up. Yet he beat him down like a little Bitch. He didn't even have the audacity to be a man about it. Once the girls come back from wherever knows they are. We are going to end this once and for all. I want you to blast him with your bass guitar and I will smack him upside the head with a microphone. We will be done with it once and for all.
Ruby: Good the way he decimated in front of your husband wasn't cool by any means. That is where we will draw the line. He asked for a fight but he is going to get a war. We will put an end to this and you don't have to worry about it anymore. How is Teddy doing anyway?!
Diamond smiles as she looks back at Ruby.
Diamond: I would say he's fine, just relaxing back at the hotel taking it easy under doctor's orders. He should be ready to go by next week though so that's always such a promising thing to go through. Anyway where are these girls at?!
Ruby: it is taking a while... I will go get them. Just wait right here.
Ruby leaves the room leaving Kate in there by herself. Diamond smiles as she walks over to her phone and she begins to dial some familiar numbers. She smiles as she begins to speak.
Kate: Hey luv... How is everything going...
Before she could even continue on with her conversation that is when she could hear the sound of screams from that of Ruby. Diamond tries her best to open the door but it seems like something is blocking it.
Diamond: LET ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
We can hear the sound of things being broken in the background and finally Kate manages to get the door open. As she does she can see some crew people removing a desk that was blocking the door and she looks outwards and can see the likes of Ruby unconscious on the floor. Diamond screams as she can also see the bodies of Emerald and Sapphire motionless on the ground in a wreckage of broken instruments and broken tables. Diamond seems to be in a panic as she looks at her band mates as she begins to scream out at the top of her lungs.
Diamond: Can somebody get me some medical attention! I SWEAR TO GOD... I AM GOING TO FUCK YOUR BLOODY SHIT UP TONY THORN YOU PIECE OF...
Before she could even finish her statement that is when she is pulled up to a vertical base by Victoria Thorn. The mother of Tony smirks as she tucks Diamond underneath an arm.
Victoria: Nobody threatens my son or threatens to harm him. Now be a good girl and be enlightened by what he has to say tonight.
Diamond screams as Victoria had the jump on her. She tries to fight it but without hesitation she twists Diamond and spikes her head first into the ground with her son's Enlightenment. The crew begins to check over the wreckage that is the Gem Stones as Victoria slowly walks away and we go elsewhere.
The cameras move to the backstage area between matches, finding the Grand Slam Champion, Kristopher Ryans lingering around, despite not actually having a match on the show. He is dressed in street clothes, and appears to be waiting on something, or more likely someone. The person he was definitely not waiting for though, is the only one that happens across him. Kris' attention is pulled down the hallway by the sound of coughing. The camera pulls that direction to find Scott Oliver and what appears to be a cloud around him. Kris looks up accusingly, but Stoner is quick to defend himself.
Stoner: One, it wasn't me. Two, it's not a sickness, it's all this....
He points to the cloud overhead, and takes a step towards Kris. There is still more than half of the length of the hallway between them, but Kris holds up a hand, stopping the longtime interviewer from coming any closer.
Kris: I don't want to take any chances though. Stay down there. You don't have anything interesting to talk to me about anyways. You should grab your compatriot here...
Kris turns his attention to the camera, but more likely the person operating it. He does not look happy to have to be dealing with either of them.
Kris: ... and fuck off.
Stoner stays put where he is at, but he thinks better of just leaving Kris be, instead turning his presence in the arena around on him.
Stoner: ...but you're not even supposed to be here, and you haven't even been taking part in the quarantine.
Kris does not even look back Stoner's direction, not giving him the benefit of his full attention.
Kris: I drive to the shows on my own, and have been quarantined in my apartment for a lot longer than you all have been locked down. No family. Nobody that's not already in the building here. I don't know what everyone's bitching about. It's not like very many people are interested in my presence anyways.
Stoner pounces on the opportunity to take a jab at Kris after years of usually being on the opposite side of a verbal beating.
Stoner: Still upset that you were unsuccessful in your debut?
The former champion does not let it get under his skin, but does not let the question linger either. He answers quickly in the hopes of squashing any speculation before it can get rolling.
Kris: It was a learning experience. Maybe I wasn't as ready as I thought. It's not going to be something that I let happen again.
Stoner pushes ahead a little, knowing that Kris will let him get away with a little more than he would the others without exploding.
Stoner: So you're admitting that you were a little overconfident? Maybe even downright cocky? I never thought I'd see the day.
Kris shrugs his shoulders, and finally turns his attention back to Stoner, giving up on whoever he was waiting for. He hops down off of the crate he was sitting on and moves towards Stoner. The camera follows at Kris' side.
Kris: I made an error of judgement. It's not the first. I wrestled Despy while wrecked on a world tour and got hurt real bad, and publicly embarrassed on top of it. I have been in several public fights with a teddy bear. I got thrown through the windshield of a new car I bragged about once on camera. Oh, and that doesn't even include the sex tape tha--
Stoner had let several of Kris' worst highlights slide before Kris hit the bingo topic. He tries to cut Kris off and press him on the issue that he had never actually spoken about before his most recent disappearance.
Stoner: On that subject thou--
Kris shakes his head, not even attempting to engage in a conversation about it.
Kris: Not something that is ever going to happen, Stoner. Moral of the story: Not everything's for everyone. Unlike me. End of story. Let's move on.
The Miracle had successfully answered the question, failed to elaborate, and dismissed the subject all before Stoner could really even get his bearings. He left the interviewer with only one question that he could even ask.
Stoner: So where does your story go from here? You've done it all already, right?
Kris shrugs his shoulders, and his signature smirk crosses his face. He acts like he is thinking it over for a second before shaking his head.
Kris: Nah, maybe not everything.
He slaps Stoner on the back as he walks past him, not waiting around for anymore questions to be asked of him. Stoner turns back to the camera with a shrug of his own and a wave at the cloud over his head before the camera cuts to black.
Bobbie Dahl is found hanging out backstage, drinking a bottle of water. She finishes it off, crushes the plastic bottle and then throws it into a nearby recycling bin, as she stands around looking, to be quite honest, rather bored. When she turns around, she's soon met by Pussy Willow, eager for a quick interview with the plus-sized Bombshell.
Pussy: Bobbie, you don't look too busy right now. Mind if I ask you a few questions?
Bobbie shrugs, but she doesn't decline Pussy's request.
Bobbie: I guess so. I mean, I've got nothing better to do right now. Fire away, Pussy.
Bobbie folds her arms, not looking very excited but waiting for Pussy's first question. Pussy smiles and gets right to it.
Pussy: Thank you. First thing's first. Last week, you interfered in the main event and cost Alicia Lukas the match against Roxi Johnson. I'm not going to ask why, because I think it's pretty obvious why you did it, but do you have anything to say about your actions?
Bobbie lets out a laugh as she lets her arms drop. She shakes her head and stares at Pussy.
Bobbie: Anything to say about my actions? Pussy, I don't need to explain myself. I said last week that I was giving Alicia a choice to make. She can focus on going after the World Bombshell Championship again, or she can try and exact her revenge on me. I was just trying to help nudge her in the right direction.
Bobbie smirks, proud of herself. Pussy nods before responding.
Pussy: I don't think Alicia would need much convincing to face you. Besides, the choice you gave her seems pretty useless. After Blaze of Glory, it was already decided that Evie Jordan would be moving on to challenge for the World Bombshell Championship. There was really no chance Alicia would be challenging for it at Into The Void IX.
Bobbie shakes her head.
Bobbie: See, that's where you're wrong. Evie Jordan will be challenging for the World Bombshell Championship. That doesn't necessarily mean Andrea Hernandez will still be the champion. I've been around long enough and watched long enough to know that a champion can defend the title before the next supershow. It's common knowledge. Case in point, tonight. The bosses like to throw curveballs, so I'm doing what I can to put a wrench in said curveball.
Pussy: Why? I mean, what if Alicia were to challenge for the title and win it back? Your match against her could be a battle for the title. Wouldn't that be better aligned with your ultimate goal? You have been after the title for some time.
Bobbie rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
Bobbie: Was. I was after the title. Quite frankly, I really don't want it anymore. It's simply a goal that I won't achieve.
Pussy: You're being pretty hard on yourself don't you think?
Bobbie: Hell no, I'm not. This has nothing to do with my confidence in myself, but it has everything to do with everyone else's faith in me! Not a damn person thinks I deserve it, nor that I even stand a chance at becoming a champion, so screw it. I'm throwing in the towel. Besides, with certain people coming back, and others trying to make it less than obvious that they'll be coming back soon, I think we can all see where the title scene will be headed soon. One thing I agree with Alicia on is that since she lost it, it's become a game of hot potato with the title.
Pussy nods again, taking a second before she continues.
Pussy: Since we're back on the topic of Alicia Lukas, word has it that she's hunting around backstage trying to find you. She's out for your blood. Maybe worse...
Bobbie laughs and then follows it with a simple shrug of her shoulders.
Bobbie: She's obviously not a very good hunter, because I'm not hard to find. If Alicia is so dead set on finding me, I'm staying in this same spot backstage, so she can damn well come and find me. Instead of making some stupid spectacle trying to "hunt" me down. She's wasting time and it's kind of annoying.
Pussy: Why don't you just go find her and confront her face to face? Or is that not your thing?
Bobbie quickly narrows her eyes and glares at Pussy.
Bobbie: What the hell does that mean?!
Pussy: Well, both times you've had any kind of confrontation with Alicia, it's involved you attacking her from behind. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were--
Bobbie holds up her hand and steps up to Pussy, getting right in her face.
Bobbie: That I'm what?! Afraid of her?!
Pussy hesitates but she eventually nods slowly.
Pussy: Well...Yes. That is how it would seem...
Bobbie: Screw you, you fake bitch! I don't need some woman who's had more plastic surgery than the amount of hairs I've got on my head implying that I'm afraid of Alicia Lukas! Piss off with that, Pussy!
Pussy: Perhaps you should prove everyone wrong then? Prove Alicia Lukas wrong.
Bobbie: What do you think I was doing when I challenged her last week?! I'M NOT AFRAID OF HER! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE, YOU PLASTIC INJECTED BITCH!
Pussy jumps a step or two back before Bobbie turns and storms off. Pussy Willow scratches her head for a moment, having been on the receiving end of another of Bobbie's sudden outbursts.
Justin: This is a Standard Rules match. First to make his way to the ring, from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, by way of Los Angeles California, standing in at six feet two inches and two hundred twenty-seven pounds, he is GRIFFIN HAWKINS!!!
The lights turn colors from Red to Green to various other colors as "Made In Hell" by Rob Halford begins to play. Fog fills the entrance area and emerging from it is none other than Griffin Hawkins! The crowd cheers for Hawkins as he makes his way down to the ring slapping hands with the fans as signs that read "Griffin Rox" and "Rock Soldier" are present. He soaks in the positive reaction as he walks up the steps and steps between the ropes. He gets on the turnbuckles and raises the Devil Horns in the air with both hands, pumping the crowd up. Griffin gets down taking off his leather jacket before getting out of the ring. Griffin kicks his feet up on the ropes in the corner and leans across the turnbuckle like it is a hammock waiting for Senor Vinnie to come to the ring.
Adams: Griffin Hawkins has nothing to gain from defeating Senor Vinnie but he has a lot to lose should he lose. Hawkins made it clear he wants a shot at the Heavyweight Championship but Ben Jordan told him he has to wait his turn.
Simone: Hawkins may have to wait even longer than he was informed of last week if he loses to Senor Vinnie.
Justin: Next to make his way to the ring, from Tijuana, Mexico, standing in at six feet eight inches and two hundred eighty pounds, he is SENOR VINNIE!!!
The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of Senor Vinnie as the lights go out and a huge cactus emerges upon the giant Tron screen. We hear Epic from Metalachi hit the speakers as Senor Vinnie emerges in the dark carrying Pete the Cactus. He slowly turns around as he stares at the Tron screen where the picture of Pete the Cactus is showing and we can see how happy Pete is to have his image on the screen. Vinnie stares at the image before turning around and he walks toward the ring. The spotlight shines upon Vinnie as he looks toward the ring mumbling something we cannot understand. Vinnie places Pete the Cactus on the ring apron near the ring post before climbing the ring steps. He then slides into the ring and crawls crawls to the center of the ring and stares at the people the front row seats. He then slowly walks toward the corner opposite of where Griffin Hawkins is located and he sits down and ignores Hawkins.
Adams: Senor Vinnie is a former Heavyweight Champion and Griffin Hawkins is a former Roulette Champion. Hawkins is focused on getting a shot at the Heavyweight Championship I feel he is motivated than Senor Vinnie in this match knowing if he defeats a former Heavyweight Champion he might get his show at the Heavyweight Championship soon.
Simone: With Hawkins giving up six inches of height and fifty-three pounds of weight Senor Vinnie has the advantage.
Adams: Last week you said the height and weight advantage Caleb Storms had over O'Malley meant nothing and you were correct as O'Malley managed to overcome the height and weight difference. Now you are saying the opposite.
Simone: I'm not changing my stand that a smaller and lighter wrestler can overcome the odds. Last week I was commenting on O'Malley, and I don't feel the same about Hawkins, so I feel the height and weight advantage Senor Vinnie has over him will decide the match in favor of Vinnie.
Referee Jasmine St. John calls both wrestlers to the center of the ring but Senor Vinnie refuses to get up from sitting in the corner. She orders Vinnie to get up and join her or risk a disqualification before the match begins. Vinnie gets up and slowly walks to the center of the ring where St. John runs down the rules of this match. She sends both men back to their corners then she calls for the bell to start the match.
DING DING DING!
The bell rings and Griffin Hawkins runs out of his corner toward Vinnie but he stops in the middle of the ring wondering why Vinnie is standing in his corner talking to Pete the Cactus instead of focusing on the match. Knowing Vinnie often pulls shifty stuff concerning Pete the Cactus Hawkins remains in the middle of the ring asking Referee St. John to order Vinnie out of his corner. She replies if Vinnie wishes to remain in the corner he is free to do so. She tells Hawkins he can choose to stand in the middle of the ring to wait for Vinnie to come to him or he can go to Vinnie in the corner. Hawkins shrugs his shoulders and thinks about his options.
Adams: Typical of Senor Vinnie to delay things in a match and plot something illegal.
Simone: How do you know what Vinnie is thinking? Most of the time I question if you know what you're thinking.
Griffin Hawkins motions for Senor Vinnie to come out of the corner but Vinnie remains in the corner. Hawkins slowly makes his way toward the corner where Vinnie quickly reaches out, spins Griffin around, then shoves him back into the corner. While Vinnie is laying blows on Griffin we see Hawkins slowly pulling himself up on the corner ropes until he is on the ropes towering over Senor Vinnie. Vinnie continues landing blows but with Griffin towering above him the blows have less impact than before. As quick as a flash of lightning Hawkins kicks his leg out and whacks Vinnie square in the face with the bottom of his boots. Vinnie to loses his footing and drops to the mat. As Vinnie gets to his knees Hawkins leaps off the ropes and lands an elbow to the head of Vinnie which causes Senor Vinnie to flop to the mat. Hawkins quickly goes for the pin while hooking both legs of Vinnie.
ONE!
Although Vinnie is in the corner near the ropes where he could easily reach up and grab the ropes for a break he instead reaches through the ropes and grabs onto the pot Pete the Cactus is in. He pulls Pete the Cactus toward him.
Adams: Here we go! I told you Vinnie could not be trusted!
Simone: Vinnie hasn't done anything wrong. He is just reaching out to Pete the Cactus to confer with him on the match.
TWO!
Vinnie has a firm grasp of the pot of Pete the Cactus and he pulls it into the ring and swings the pot whacking Griffin on the side of the head causing Hawkins to roll off stopping the count at two. Vinnie quickly rolls the pot with Pete the Cactus inside of it to the ring apron where Pete squirms and lands the pot upright. Jasmine St. John raises two fingers to indicate a two count on the pin attempt. Griffin Hawkins complains to St. John that Vinnie whacked him in the head with the pot of Pete the Cactus. Unfortunately for Hawkins the Referee didn't see the action. Referee St. John questions Senor Vinnie and Vinnie shrugs his shoulder and denies any knowledge of anything happening with Pete the Cactus. Not able to verify whether the pot was used or not Jasmine St. John issues a warning to Vinnie anyway and she apologizes to Hawkins for not being able to call something she didn't directly see.
Adams: A Referee should be able to call all things in a match.
Simone: Would you like some cheese to go with your whine?
Griffin is upset but he can't change the decision of the Referee. He and Vinnie lock up and struggle for the advantage. Vinnie, being larger, muscles Hawkins to the mat where he rolls him prone on the mat then stomps on his back several times. Vinnie then leaps on the back of Griffin, grabs him around the head, and pulls on the chin of Hawkins while leaning back applying pressure with his Mariachi Recliner. Jasmine St. John steps in to ask Griffin if he wants to submit and he tells her NO so she lets the match continue. Vinnie pulls back harder and we can tell the pressure on Hawkins in immense but again he refuses to submit when asked by the Referee. Suddenly out of the audience we see Iris, the English Bulldog of Bill and Bea Barnhart, rush out from the stands with Bill chasing her. Iris runs to the corner where Pete the Cactus is and Pete, since he is in love with Iris, jumps off the ring apron to the arena floor where a loud confrontation erupts between Bill and Pete the Cactus. Pete reminds Bill he has the right to date Iris and Bill tells Pete if he lays one Cactus spine on Iris he'll make Pete wish he never sprouted. Worried that Pete might get seriously injured by Bill Barnhart Vinnie releases his hold on Hawkins. Griffin remains on the mat trying to recover from the hold while Senor Vinnie leaves the ring to confront Bill to he will not injure Pete. Referee St. John begins a count on Vinnie as he is outside the ring.
ONE!
Adams: Vinnie was in a dominant position in the match but now he is distracted at ringside arguing with Bill Barnhart over the Pete and Iris love affair.
Simone: I agree this is not the time for Vinnie to get distracted from the match.
TWO!
Bill and Vinnie get into a shoving match while Pete the Cactus decides to return to Vinnie's corner on the ring apron and Iris runs back into the stands to hide behind Bea Barnhart.
THREE!
Vinnie and Bill start trading blows and Referee St. John is threatening to issue a disqualification due to interference if the two don't stop fighting at ringside. They both ignore the Referee until Vinnie moves quickly and hits Bill with a DDT on Bill knocking him out when his head hits the floor.
FOUR!
Vinnie looks up and realizes the Referee is up to a four count so he runs toward the ring, leaps, and dives under the bottom rope into the ring stopping the count.
Adams: Now is the time for Griffin Hawkins to take it to Senor Vinnie for the win.
Simone: More like now is the time for Senor Vinnie to take it to Griffin Hawkins for the win. He already had the match won when Bill and Iris distracted him. If Vinnie loses this match I place the blame on Bill, Iris, and Pete.
Adams: Vinnie could have ignored the confrontation at ringside and kept the hold on Hawkins but he allowed himself to be distracted instead. That is not the fault of Bill, Iris, or Pete.
Hawkins grabs Vinnie and scoop slams him driving Vinnie hard onto the mat. Griffin follows up with a Break Dancing Leg Drop. Hawkins dives on top of Vinnie for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Vinnie gets a shoulder up to stop the count at two. He rolls to the side and gets to his feet and Hawkins also gets to his feet. Griffin charges Senor Vinnie and hits Vinnie with a clothesline driving Vinnie into the ropes. When Vinnie rebounds off the ropes Hawkins hits him with several hard kicks to the knees and then he follows it up with a Bulldog driving Vinnie's head into the mat. Vinnie is stirring and slowly starts to get up on his feet. When Vinnie is on his his feet Griffin executes a Pele Kick knocking Vinnie prone to the mat again. Hawkins quickly applies his Painkiller Calf Killer applying extreme pressure on the leg of Vinnie. With the wrestlers in the middle of the ring Vinnie cannot reach the ropes for a break and he doesn't want to risk a serious injury to his leg so he taps the mat and Referee Jasmine St. John calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: I told you the distraction caused by Bill and Iris arguing with Pete the Cactus could be a factor in this match.
Adams: Stuff happens.
Griffin Hawkins releases the hold and stands off to the side.
Justin: Here is the winner of this match, by submission, GRIFFIN HAWKINS!!!
Hawkins celebrates his victory then slides out of the ring and heads toward the backstage area. Senor Vinnie slowly leaves the ring making sure he picks up Pete the Cactus from his corner and the two head toward backstage area.
Climax Control cuts backstage to the studio where SCW Bombshells World Champion Andrea Hernandez is standing in front of the camera with her championship slung over her shoulder. She's maintaining the poise and the confidence that she's carried with her throughout most of her time in Sin City Wrestling and she's clearly showing that just because she's the champion now doesn't mean that she's going to change anything. There is no glitz and glamour. Everything is simple... just as she likes it. Maintaining said poise, Andrea begins to express her thoughts.
Andrea: "It's interesting how things can easily change on a whim. When last Sunday progressed, I was already having Evie Jordan and Into the Void in mind... and then I came to find out later that I get thrown a pretty big curveball. I thought I wouldn't be defending until Evie... but here I am defending the championship tonight... and again... dealing with the nuisance known as Christina Rose. That's fine. That's all well and good. I'm a fighting champion. I was born to be one, I was raised to be one, I was trained to be one. The last championship reign I had before this one? Yeah, that one had its loops, its hoops and its challenges as well and all I would do is defy the odds and expectations again and again... just like I did when I won this championship in the first place, just like I am going to have to do tonight... because I'll tell you this much...
I came to this company to be the best wrestler that I could possibly be, in a company with the toughest competition that I am ever going to face in my career...
I came here to win my first world championship and that's exactly what I've done.
But what I am also going to say is that I didn't win the world championship just to be a one hit wonder and I damn sure didn't win the championship to lose it three weeks later... and I've had to field quite a few questions about that. I've been asked tons of times the 'what if' question of 'what if this reign ends tonight?' It's almost as if people are EXPECTING Christina Rose to do what she did against Roxi... and again... that's fine.
But I'm not thinking about that 'what if'.
I'm not living in a moment that isn't guaranteed to happen. I'm only focused on what I can control and what's in front of me.
That's not the only common question I've gotten this week. I've also been asked why I 'dislike' Christina so much...
Andrea takes a pause, maintaining a bit of a confident smirk before she answers that question.
Andrea: "Besides the fact that she's annoying, overbearing and overdramatic? It doesn't take away from what she can do in the ring and that's why I can't overlook her and look ahead to Evie Jordan, but for god's sake, that girl's a hot mess and even she knows that. I don't hate her... but the bottom line is?
We'll never be friends.
We never could be friends.
There was a time where I was debating it in my mind whether it was possible and it was just before Blaze of Glory when I realized that it could've never been. Regardless of the outcome tonight, that fact is only going to become even more entrenched. Then there's this last question... this really STUPID question... even criticism from a couple of people that work here...
'Why don't you promote yourself on Twitter?'
Really?
I'm supposed to live my life on there 24/7? 15 years ago, social media wasn't a thing... at least... not this massive thing that it is now. So what... I don't tweet... BIG DEAL! I don't do this to be a "brand"... I'm not Christina... I don't NEED to be a brand. Is relying on what you can do in that ring every single week without the glitz and glamour to promote what you're all about as a wrestler THAT much of a sin these days?
See... I'm not like most wrestlers. I'm not letting this title change me. What got me to this point is what will push me through this title reign for better or worse... and tonight? When I retain this title... when the Crystal Hilton Variety Hour as it pertains to this championship ends for the time being... I'll continue to show why I became a world champion and why being a fighting champion is all I need to do to represent this brand proudly: no glitz, no glamour, no exaggerated, Hollywood sob story... just me being the best wrestler that I can be... xx
Andrea briefly raises the title in the air, keeping her poise and confidence strong as the scene fades out.
Alicia Lukas emerges from the lockrroom, now changed from her street clothes into jungle camo shorts, black boots and a jungle camo top, her hair tied up and back with black war paint. She turns and moves down a hallway crouching down, looking around corners and then stopping near Alex Jones, who looks over confused raising an eyebrow
Alex Jones: Alicia...what are you doing?
Alicia Lukas: How did you see me?
She puts her hands on her hips looking annoyed. Alex looks around and shakes his head
Alex Jones: You're standing right in front of me
Alicia Lukas: I'm camouflaged!
Alex steps back and looks Alicia up and down
Alex Jones: You're in jungle camo...that isn't even covering all of you....in a grey hallway
Alicia Lukas: SHHHH....I'm hunting Bobbie....
Alicia slowly slides down into a commando crawl moving over to a snickers bar wrapper, she studies it and picks it up looking at it.
Alicia Lukas: She's close....I can feel it...
Alicia turns to go through a door, the door though is locked and doesn't budge. Alicia slams her fist on it and steps back narrowing her eyes.
Alicia Lukas: Clever girl
Alicia storms off and Alex blinks a few times and shakes his head.
Alex Jones: Did...did anyone else see that?...or am I high right now?
Backstage, Ms. Rocky Mountains is seen holding up a microphone. Standing next to her is SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas for an interview segment ahead of her match.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mercedes, you came up short in the fatal four-way to challenge for the Bombshell Internet Championship at Blaze of Glory. Shockingly, Keira Fisher-Johnson pinned your shoulders to the mat for the second time in three weeks. Do you think she has your nu -
Mercedes: Does she have my number? Listen, Keira can beat me 100 times in 100 matches and it STILL changes nothing about what I said about her. Her championship days are long behind her and she needs to accept it, why? Because she peaked during her first year in this company. Her Bombshell Roulette reign and World Bombshell Tag Team Championship reign with Roxi is as far as she's ever going to go in this company. Keira may have ruined my chance at challenging for the Bombshell Internet Championship, but it's a new day.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight, you're challenging Candy for her Bombshell Roulette Championship, which she's held for over three months now. You were the first four-time champion. Will tonight see you win your fifth title?
Mercedes: That depends. I've been in over 40 Roulette Rules matches so there isn't a stipulation out there I haven't been in. Tonight, Rocky, I'm going to make Candy work on keeping her title. If she wins, then she just had her toughest challenge yet. If she doesn't, well, I guess I'll be making history with my 13th championship win and become la primera vez cinco veces Campeon de la ruleta bombazo SCW... the first-ever five-time Bombshell Roulette Champion...
Mercedes: ...and I can't wait.
Mercedes rubs her hands together slowly accompanied with a smug smile as the scene heads back to the ring in time for the next match.
Justin: The following Bombshell division match is scheduled for one fall!
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 Baang 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, she is one-half of the 2020 Blast From the Past Champions... 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.
Simone: Ever since her performance in this year's Blast From the Past Memorial, a lot of people have been saying she is not the same Evie that once dominated the Bombshell division. That she's lost her killer edge.
Adams: Are these the same people that sit on their sofas, eating crisps and watching from home and critiquing how weak a punch looked like?
Simone: I'd imagine the majority of them, yes.
Justin: And her opponent...!
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.
Justin: Accompanied to the ring by Christina Rose! From Los Angeles, California -- Seleana Zdunich!
The two make their way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers them on. Christina remains at ringside as Seleana slides into the ring and stands on the ropes, playing to the men and women from SCU and GRIME in the audience.
Adams: Christina is scheduled to challenge for the world title in tonight's main event, but she wasn't going to let the opportunity pass to support her wife.
Simone: Seleana has held the world title herself before, and a win tonight over Evie Jordan would definitely propel her back into the world title scene.
Adams: And if Christina wins tonight, imagine her against her own wife for the world title!
Seleana drops down to the mat and turns around, and she is suddenly speared into the corner by Evie before the bell has even rung!
Adams: Evie isn't wasting time! She wants to start now!
Simone: And prove to the world over that she is still the same Evie as before!
Christina protests LOUDLY as referee Drew Patton tries to separate the two hellcats but sees the futility of it and calls for the bell to make it official!
DING DING DING!
Evie does not ease up! She pins Seleana in the corner and drives her shoulder into her taut midsection over and over again! Evie then wraps both of her hands around Seleana's throat and she thrashes her from left to right, choking her violently as Drew counts against her!
ONE!
Evie breaks before she can be disqualified but she starts to immediately hammer away at her opponent with a barrage of forearm shots to the sternum, overwhelming Seleana under the onslaught and driving her down against her backside where Evie presses a boot against her throat!
ONE!
And again Evie breaks!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Adams: If anyone has doubted Evie isn't the same, vicious Evie that once ran hell over the Bombshell division...
Simone: Seleana Zdunich might have something to say about that!
Evie drags Seleana up by her hair and with two handfuls, she snapmares her over the hard way a total of three times! Evie then uses her hair to spin her around in a wide circle on her feet and throws her THROUGH the ropes and to the outside!
Adams: Damn! Evie is out to send a message to whoever the champion is after tonight!
Christina is right over to check on her wife as Seleana slowly rises and shakes the cobwebs. Evie starts to go out after her but Drew is quick to head her off and he directs her back and Christina herself points into the ring and shouts at Evie. Seleana then climbs back onto ringside and Evie dashes forward to shoulder check her off the apron, but Seleana dives over her and into the ring with a sunset flip!
ONE!
TWO!
Evie kicks out!
Seleana has her right into a side headlock, and Evie fires her off of the ropes and the two Bombshells collide in a shoulder tackle, but Evie comes out on top and Seleana hits hard on her back! Evie is right on her, straddling her waistline and she starts throwing blows down into her exposed face when finally Seleana has had enough! Seleana throws her off and now it is Seleana on top and she starts hammering away at Evie!
Simone: I think Seleana has finally had enough!
Adams: You are only going to push Seleana so far before she snaps! Just as Christian Underwood's plastic surgeon!
Drew has to grab Seleana and physically wrest her away from Evie! Seleana breaks free and the two hellcats charge each other and Evie brings a boot up into her stomach, doubling her over! Evie then Irish whips her into the corner and dives right in after her but Seleana moves out of the way, causing Evie to crash against the turnbuckles! Then, fighting fire with fire, Seleana grabs two BIG handfuls of Evie's hair and she throws her the length of the ring in a tailspin!
Adams: OWW!!! By the hair!
Simone: I do NOT think Evie Jordan was expecting Seleana to come back fighting like this!
Evie returns to her feet but is dropkicked right back down to the mat! Seleana drags her roughly back to her feet and goes for an Irish whip into the ropes and a hip toss, but Evie reverses for her own hip toss. Seleana lands on her feet and counters with a Hurricanrana! Seleana is on her chest and hooks both legs!
ONE!
TWO!
Evie reverses with a sunset flip!
ONE!
TWO!
Seleana kicks out!
Evie attacks first, head butting Seleana straight in the face! She sends her into the ropes and attempts an overhead double axe handle but Seleana blocks it! Then Seleana returns fire with her own head butt between Evie's eyes! Evie swings wildly, a left and a right, but both blows are deftly avoided and Seleana has her into a side headlock and she runs right up the ropes for a springboard bulldog, planting Evie face-first! Seleana throws her over and hooks the inside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Evie kicks out!
Adams: I thought maybe Sel had her!
Simone: It's going to take a lot more to beat either one of these women!
Seleana twists Evie's arm and runs up the ropes, spring boarding off into an arm drag, throwing her clear across the ring! But Seleana figures what works once... she has Evie by the arm and she jumps onto the ropes, but this time Evie shoves her off and throws her violently to the outside! Seleana crashes against the barricade and crumbles to the floor!
Simone: Seleana went to the proverbial well one time too many!
Adams: And Evie is past the point of caring!
This time Evie does not let Drew stop her as she brushes past him and drops to the floor! Evie is right on Seleana, dropping to her knees and throwing right hands into the woman's skull as Drew counts!
ONE!
Evie drags Seleana up and slams her head into the barricade surrounding the ring, then takes her by the arm and whips her back against the ring apron!
FIVE!
Evie rolls Seleana back into the ring when Christina power walks around the ring to confront her on her rough treatment of her wife!
TWO!
THREE!
SIX!
Adams: Umm... they're in a wrestling match. Does Christina expect a pillow fight??
Simone: Knowing Christina -- yes.
Both Evie and Christina are in each others' faces, yelling!
SEVEN!
Suddenly Evie realizes what Christina is doing and she rolls back into the ring, breaking the count! Evie glares daggers to the outside as Christina smiles and holds up a thumb and forefinger.
EIGHT!
NINE!
Simone: I'm not sure purposely angering Evie Jordan is the right tactic to take.
Adams: Especially when it's your wife that's in there against her.
Evie drags Seleana up and strikes with a short-arm clothesline. She pulls her to her feet a second time and sends her into the ropes where she catches her with a spinning side slam and into an immediate cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Seleana gets a shoulder up!
Evie is on her knees and GLARING at Drew!
Evie stands up and stands ON Seleana's hair, then pulls up on her arms! Drew counts against her when suddenly Seleana uses her long legs to victory roll her into the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Evie kicks out!
Somehow Seleana is back on her feet and she swings but Evie ducks and counters with a Saito suplex, dumping her on the back of her head! Evie peels her up off of the canvas and then its a belly to belly suplex! Evie walks over her, stepping on her in the process, she begins to scale the corner with her back to the audience. Once perched on the top, Evie shouts something down to Christina and she jumps for a body splash -- but Seleana rolls out of the way and Evie crashes hard!
Simone: Evie let herself get distracted by Seleana's wife!
Evie literally stumbles to her feet, clutching her midsection, and Seleana comes flying at her from behind with a bulldog! Evie's face crashes into the canvas! Evie stumbles to her feet and Seleana clotheslines her right back down! Evie forces herself back up and again she is clotheslined down!
Adams: Where is Seleana getting this energy from???
Evie sits up and Seleana delivers a base kick right to the face, planting her on her back! Seleana then climbs up to the top of the near corner and she flies back with a picture perfect moonsault! She straddles her sternum and hooks a leg!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Kick out by Evie!
Adams: She kicked out! Evie Jordan kicked out!
Seleana drags her to a vertical base and brings her down with a straight jacket neck breaker, turning it right around into a DDT! Seleana again goes up top and as Evie slowly recovers and sits up, Seleana leaps for a 450 splash -- but Evie brings a boot right up into Seleana's face!
Simone: Good god! I think that wiped Seleana Zdunich out!
Seleana is not moving! Evie drags her up to her knees and then comes off the ropes and hits a drive by kick right to the head!
Adams: Svetlana!
But Evie does not go for the cover! She drags her back to a seated position and hits a second Svetlana! And then a THIRD!
Simone: Evie Jordan is taking NO chances!
Evie with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner -- Evie JORDAN!
Evie pulls her arm away from Drew and raises her own arms as Christian climbs into the ring to care for Seleana while the two women lock eyes!
Simone: if ever there was any doubt that Evie was not still a force to be reckoned with inside of that ring...
The camera switches backstage where Evie Jordan walks through the curtain where her husband Ben is seen waiting for her, his SCW World Heavyweight championship over his shoulder as she spots him. Evie moves towards Ben, wrapping her arms around him.
Ben: Congrats.
Ben smiles at her as she squeezes him.
Evie: Thank you babe.
Evie pulls herself away, her arms loosely around Ben's neck.
Ben: That aggressive style is kicking back in with ya. Could see the old Evie coming back in that match. This is the Evie that's gonna be Bombshell champion again.
Evie: So no pressure then?
Ben smiles at his wife.
Ben: None at all. You just took out one of the best SCW has to offer, brought back that strong style in the place that made you in to this bad arse wrestler. You should be proud of what you did out there and next time you end up on the show, do it again, and by the time you get to face Andrea, she won't know what's hit her.
Evie smiles at Ben.
Evie: Maybe the pressure is on you to make it a double tonight.
Ben: I'm looking forward to tonight babe. I mean I've been in the ring with Jake recently and he's a challenge but I know what it means to try and make an impression on a future opponent, so it's all about trying to be dominant against Mark Cross.
Evie: I like it when you're dominant.
Evie winks towards Ben.
Ben: Different kinda dominance babe, but tonight, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling good, I wanna get my arse out there and show Mark Cross why I'm SCW World Heavyweight champion and plan to stay that way.
Evie: I also like it when you're confident.
Ben: More than confident tonight babe. I'm walking in that ring with fish lips and we're walking out winners. There's not a doubt in my mind at all tonight. Proper up for this one. When I'm done with this, we're going celebrating.
Evie: In the hotel?
Ben: In the hotel. Mini golf, work on those skills of yours.
Evie playfully pushes Ben away with a smile as the scene cuts elsewhere.
We cut backstage to find Alicia Lukas stomping down another hallway looking left and right and behind her grumbling to herself
Alicia Lukas: I'm going to find you Bobbie! No sense in hiding!
She turns a corner and opens a closet door before growling and slamming it. She sighs and then looks in, of all things a trash can.
Alicia Lukas: BOOOOBBBIIIE
She growls and stops before smirking looking over at someone
Alicia Lukas: Hey...you seen Bobbie Dahl?
That someone is Finn Whelan, with a very not amused expression on his face. After all, they'd not been on an amenable level since...well, since he likened her to a Nazi a million years ago.
Finn Whelan: Oh, it's McWafflecunt. Which one is Bobbie?
Alicia rolls her eyes and places her hands on her hips raising her eyebrows in an oh so "Karen" way.
Alicia Lukas: You know big girl, blonde, covered in Dorito dust, smells like gym socks and shame?
Finn scratches the back of his head, wincing slightly as he attempts to remember. Although he doesn't look like he wants to.
Finn Whelan: The one that fucked up your return match? That's Bobbie? Haven't seen her stalking around here that I can remember. Did you check catering?
Alicia Lukas: yes I checked catering...you Gothic toothpick. But then again, she might need multiple fittings, they like to visit troughs more than once. Thanks Finn I'll let you get back to cooking meth or whatever it is you do....
Finn lifts his eyebrow as she walks away, a slight sneer on his face.
Finn Whelan: Have fun, don't put her in a gas chamber!
Alicia pushes past mumbling something as we cut back to the ring
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see tonight's competitors in the Bombshell Roulette Championship Match Mercedes Vargas and the reigning champion Candy standing beside the Roulette Wheel in an all too familiar scene (whilst exercising Social Distancing off course).
Simone: Candy is about to face her biggest challenge to date in Mercedes Vargas.
Adams: This is her fourth defense as well, so the pressure is on her tonight!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready ladies?
Candy and Mercedes nod prompting Rocky to give the wheel a spin, after several seconds it stops on a stipulation that gives both women pause.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight's Roulette Title Match will be contested in a Steel Cage! Only way to win is by escape, pin fall or submission!
Simone: When was the last time SCW had a Steel Cage Match?
Adams: I can't remember, but it was a few years ago!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck ladies.
Candy and Mercedes leave to get ready as the scene fades.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and the first of tonight's title matches as Candy defends the Bombshell Roulette Championship in a Steel Cage against Mercedes Vargas.
Adams: They got that cage up ridiculously fast! Anyway, the rules are simple, only way to win is by pin fall, submission or escaping the cage!
Simone: No time left to waste, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Bombshell Roulette Championship! Thanks to a spin of the wheel we now know that this match will be contested in a Steel Cage! Only way to win is by pin-fall, submission or escaping the cage!
The camera pans around the cage as Justin explains the rules before 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.
Justin: Introducing first, from Malibu Beach, California, she is the reigning and defending SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion, Candy!
She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before entering the cage via the door and waiting for Mercedes.
Simone: Candy won the title from Sam Marlowe at the beginning of the year and has been turning away challengers ever since, but you could argue that Mercedes Vargas will be her biggest challenge to date!
Adams: One thing's for sure, anyone who thought that Candy's Roulette Title Win was a fluke was quickly shut up!
Justin: Introducing the challenger!
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: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
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 enters the cage the same way Candy did and makes the belt motion around her waist to Candy as her music fades.
Simone: Mercedes is a multiple tome champion in SCW including a record tying four times as Roulette Champion!
Adams: And she looks to set a new record tonight by winning the title for a fifth time!
Once both women are in the cage Jacob goes over the rules with them and holds the title above his head before handing it to the ring attendant at the door, once a ring attendant has the cage door secured Jacob calls for the bell.
Simone: This should be a hall of a match.
Adams: And a hell of a test for Candy, Mercedes practically put the Bombshell Roulette Division on the map!
DING DING DING!
Candy glances up towards the top of the cage briefly and Mercedes tries to take advantage of her distraction by bullrushing the champion, but Candy looks up just in time to sidestep Mercedes's clothesline attempt and throw her face first into the cage! Mercedes stumbles backwards into a roll-up from Candy which Jacob barely has time to react too due to the roll-up happening so early in the match but still manages to get into position for the count.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes gets the shoulder up.
Simone: Candy almost had the match won right there but Mercedes got the shoulder up.
Adams: That's how Candy got the first pin fall on Sam Marlowe in the match where she won the title, but Mercedes won't fall for the same trick!
Mercedes gets to her feet at the same time as Candy and Candy charges right at her challenger trying to maintain the momentum, unfortunately for her all Candy gets is a pendulum kick to the face from Mercedes who has recovered from the shock of the early pin-fall attempt and at first Mercedes looks like she's going for a pin of her own but seeing that Candy still has some life in her Mercedes flips Candy onto her stomach and pulls her head up by her hair before stomping it down to the matt.
Simone: Doesn't matter how many times she does it, Mercedes's Hair Pull Curb Stomp never fails to look nasty!
Adams: And as Candy just found out the hard way, it feels as nasty as it looks!
Mercedes goes for her first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Candy gets the shoulder up! Seeing that Candy is still feeing the effects of the curb stomp Mercedes starts scaling the wall of the cage looking to end this match as quickly as possible.
Simone: Looks like Mercedes has had enough of this match already!
Adams: Candy is getting back to her feet though and she won't let Mercedes escape that quickly!
Candy starts to give chase after Mercedes who manages to reach the top of the cage before Candy grabs onto her leg with her free hand, Mercedes tries to kick the champion away with her free leg but Candy isn't having it maintaining a strong grip on the challengers leg before she uses it to pull herself up to Mercedes's level and slams the challenger face-first into the cage stunning Mercedes for a few seconds and giving Candy the chance to throw her off the side.
Simone: This is Candy's chance to win it.
Adams: But she isn't taking it, instead she's waiting for Mercedes to get back to her feet!
Mercedes gets back to her feet after a few seconds and Candy leaps off the cage before planting her with a Tornado DDT! The move has taken a lot out of both women, but Candy manages to recover enough to go for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes gets the shoulder up! Candy momentarily glances towards the top of the cage and then down at her challenger but whatever she has in mind will have to wait as Mercedes gets up first and drags Candy up by her hair!
Simone: In any normal match Mercedes would be getting a warning from Jacob for pulling Candy's hair.
Adams: But as stated several times before, you can't lose by disqualification in a cage match!
Indeed Jacob can only watch on as Mercedes taunts Candy for a few seconds before wrapping her arms around Candy's belly and hitting a Belly to Belly Suplex that sends Candy crashing into the cage wall, fortunately Candy lands on her stomach rather than her head but she is clearly hurting from the move and Mercedes starts making her way towards the door to try to escape the cage that way whilst Jacob checks on Candy.
Simone: I guess Mercedes figured going through the door would be a safer bet than going over the cage wall.
Adams: After that Tornado DDT from Candy I don't blame her!
Mercedes reaches the cage door and orders the ring attendant to get it open but the ring attendant doesn't even get a chance to before Candy intercepts her with a running dropkick that sends Mercedes against the door face first with enough force to send Mercedes stumbling backwards and Candy backs her up to the ropes before whipping her off, on the rebound Candy goes for another dropkick but Mercedes puts the breaks on casing the champ to miss the dropkick, Mercedes then picks up Candy and nearly takes her head off with a Discuss Clothesline.
Simone: I would make a joke about seeing where Candy's head landed but they are in a steel cage so even if it came lose it would remain in the cage with them.
Adams: More clotheslines like that and Mercedes might just take Candy's head off!
Mercedes goes for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
And Candy somehow manages to get the shoulder up! Rather than argue with Jacob or go for another pin Mercedes eyes the top of the cage and starts climbing the cage again.
Simone: I'm surprised Mercedes is going up the cage again!
Adams: After that Clothesline Candy will be counting sheep for a while!
Mercedes makes it halfway up the cage before Candy starts climbing up after her and this time Candy doesn't grab onto Mercedes instead, she just climbs up after the challenger until both women are exchanging punches on top of the cage! They go back and forth for a while with both women nearly losing their balance at several points, but it is Mercedes who loses her balance in the end after a hard shot from Candy sends her crashing back into the ring.
Simone: This is Candy's chance to win this!
Adams: Mercedes is slowly getting to her feet but there's no way she can catch Candy now!
Candy gets one of her legs over the other side of the cage wall but stops before she steadies herself on top of the wall, Jacob can only watch as Candy leaps from the top of the cage wall and hits Mercedes with the Gumdrop!
Simone: OH MY GOD! GUMDROP FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE!
Adams: Stick a fork in Mercedes, she's done!
Candy has no energy left for a proper cover instead draping one arm over Mercedes's chest for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and STILL BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPION, CANDY!
Simone: Candy retains the title over a very game Mercedes Vargas.
Adams: Which begs the question, if Mercedes couldn't dethrone Candy, then who can?
Jacob checks on both women after he gives Candy back her title as the scene fades.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco standing around the backstage area watching the in-ring action on the monitor, more specifically the Bombshell Roulette Title Match between Candy and Mercedes Vargas and as it ends she shakes her head not realizing that Ms. Rocky Mountains was within earshot.
Jessie: Typically, Mercedes talks a big game but fails to back it up in the ring, or cage in this case, if that where me there'd be a new champion by now.
Rocky overhears Jessie muttering this under her breath and grabs a mic before approaching Jessie.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Jessie I couldn't help but overhear but are you announcing your intention to challenge Candy?
Jessie: No, not yet anyway, no reign lasts forever, and she'll drop it eventually, if anything I'm more concerned about next week's show.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Why do you say that?
Jessie: Because I haven't been in action since Blaze of Glory! I don't care who I face on next week's show as long as I get a chance to bounce back from my loss to Sam, until then I have the rest of the show to enjoy!
Rocky walks off as the scene fades.
Alicia is back at it again backstage, she moves through and past catering before clearing her throat looking up with a smirk
Alicia Lukas: Fenris!
Fenris turns around and he and Alicia stand across from each other slowly doing the double spiderman point meme with a smile at each other.
Fenris: Whats up Lukas?
Alicia looks around and gets in closer
Alicia Lukas: I'm looking for Bobbie Dahl...have you seen her?
Fenris: We all know you are, we've been watching. But no...sorry I haven't seen her all night....
Alicia Lukas: Goddamnit. I don't get it, usually she's hard to miss, this time though?..she's nowhere man....I'm fucking over it..I just can't..can't..find...the hell is that?
Alicia gets distracted and slowly moves over and passed Fenris, there, sitting on a chair is Despayre's teddy bear. In his hands written in purple crayon is a sign that simply reads "she went that way" and an arrow pointing right. Alicia turns to look at Fenris who simply shrugs.
Fenris: The bear knows things....
The broadcast cuts to some archive footage from last week following Myra Rivers's win over Bella Madison. Myra revels in the win for some time, enjoying the rush, the moment and the thrill of victory. The footage pauses for a quick voice over from Myra herself.
Myra: "It had been a while since I had been in a wrestling ring facing live competition. I wasn't nervous about a new beginning. I was ready to get back in the swing of things and get things started in Sin City Wrestling on a bright note..."
The footage fades to Myra Rivers in the studio, obviously not dressed to compete considering that she has the night off, but nonetheless, she is going through some sentimental feelings as she further expresses her thoughts.
Myra: "It was only for a few months that I was away from the ring, but boy did I miss it. When I knew that I was on my way here prior to leaving the last company that I had worked at, I had been anticipating it. For some time, I was imagining what being in a Sin City Wrestling ring against some of the best competition in the world was going to feel like and needless to say, being in that ring against Bella Madison and fighting that match was a real thrill for me. The fact that I was able to get a victory against a competitor of her caliber with the potential that she has is a bonus on top of it. Yet, I know it's just the beginning. I've seen how competitive the top of this division can be. I saw it with that main event last week. It may take me a while to get to the top in my own right... but I have every reason to believe that I will... even at my age and possibly against the toughest competition I've ever come to face. Unfortunately for anyone that may want to doubt me..."
Myra has a pause, expressing a confident smile for a few moments before continuing.
Myra: "...I've only gotten better with age. I proved when I won that I wasn't going to be an easy out.
I originally wanted to become a wrestler because of my mother... who was one herself before she gave birth to me. Through thick and thin, that dream never died. The first half of my career... all I ever did was make her proud. Being one of the best wrestlers in the world during that half of my career was a real thrill because I knew that I was delivering on every single moral that my mother taught me. But then... a few years ago? It came to a halt... when I became a mother in my own right. Five years ago, when my career restarted... it became about my daughter. Gosh, it's hard to believe she's going to be six and a half already...
But I fell down the wrong path for a while... I did lose myself as a person... even as I proved that I was getting better with age... even though the second half of my career has actually been better than the first half... and hell... even though I regained my sense of self last year and remembered everything my mother taught me... I know I don't have closure yet. I still feel that there's another chapter to write... and that's why I'm here... because I feel like there's still so much for me to do before I ride off into the sunset... hopefully later rather than sooner.
Last week, I got off to a great start... but I know that the journey's just beginning.
I know deep down in my heart that no matter the odds are and no matter how tough the competition is, that I can adapt, that I can continue to get better and that sometime down the road... I can even be a champion again! I've been through so many peaks and valleys in my career... but I also know that having survived the deepest valleys I've experienced throughout my long career that I can reach the highest peaks I've yet to get to...
Feel free to try and stop me if you can... but this rebellious spirit?
It's stronger than ever..."
Myra takes a confident, deep breath before she stands up and walks out of the shot, confident in her abilities to adapt to whatever challenges SCW will bring as the shot fades out.
Scene switches to the locker room area where we see Rocky Mountains standing by with Bella Madison and Malachi.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: At this time I am back here with Bella Madison and Malachi, now first of all, a Happy early Birthday to you
Bella Madison: Thank you.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You are welcome, but you asked for this time along with Malachi to make an announcement.
Rocky holds out the microphone towards Bella as she looks at Mal for a minute and takes a deep breath.
Bella Madison: Well the announcement is this, despite the loss we took at Blaze of Glory, despite my loss last week....I have to tell ya, I'm feeling pretty damn insulted right now. I'm back here last week cleaning up and watching the rest of my show when low and behold, I watch as the number one contenders for the Mixed Tag Team Championships are not the team that defeated us but some sort of bullshit Freebird rule that I didn't even know existed came into play and a whole other set of people...one who hasn't been in action in a while, is suddenly taking their spot. Congrats to the Trenton Tigers who did earn that chance but honestly, I gotta say that I agree with Mal in the fact that this is extremely unfair to not only them BUT to any other team that has to deal with this unfair advantage.
Bella shifts on her feet and gets a serious look on her face.
Bella Madison: That's why I'm making a challenge, before Into The Void, I want us to face these supposed new contenders for the championship. And we will see who the true number one contenders are....and if we don't....well...don't blame us for what we have to do.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Malachi, anything to add?
Malachi: Nope, I think she pretty much covered it.
Bella holds out her hand to Malachi.
Bella Madison: Shall we?
Malachi: After you...
The two leave without so much another word.
Justin: The following contest is a tag team match, introducing first....
Feuer Frei by Rammstein plays over the sound system as Jake comes out through the curtain and he wears black MMA gloves with MMA German flag coloured shorts with his name on it with white arrows printed on his shorts.
Justin: "From Dusseldorf, Germany, he is The Fiery Target, Jake Raab!"
He high fives the fans as he gets into the ring and he does a hold up on the turnbuckle as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a bow and arrow pose towards the camera before waiting for the match to start.
Justin: And his partner.... from Canterbury, England, standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 225lb, he is the SCU Underground champion and 2020 Blast From The Past winner... he is... Mark "The Dragon" Crrrrrrrrrosssssss!!!
The arena lights dim as the bassline to "Never Again" begins to rumble around the arena. As the guitar riff hits, so does the lights, revealing Mark "The Dragon" Cross standing, one fist aloft, at the top of the aisle. Receiving recognition from the crowd, he strides purposefully to ringside, taking a moment to survey the scene as he reaches the apron.
Justin: And their opponents, Introducing first.
"If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray begins to play across the building and the crowd turns with anticipation towards the entrance as "the White Wolf" Fenris emerges from behind the curtains with his younger brother at his side. As Aron looks on, Fenris stands stoically, looking out towards the capacity crowd before dropping to one knee with head bowed. He symbolically crosses his heart and looks 'up' in homage before standing upright and beginning his journey toward the ring with his brother following close behind.
Justin: Making his way toward the ring! Accompanied by Aron Baltasarsson, from Iceland, weighing two hundred and four pounds -- Fenris!
Despite the fans that reach out toward him, Fenris does not reciprocate and his attention is solely on the ring, whereas the smiling Aron good naturedly slaps a hand or two that extends toward him. Fenris climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron, turning towards the fans and extends his arms up and begins the 'Viking Clap.' Slowly but surely, despite any potential misgivings towards the young man, many fans join along with him in the Viking Clap. Aron holds the ropes for his brother, and Fenris steps through and continues the clap from one corner to the next, drawing in the energy of the crowd. Joined by Aron, Fenris returns to his own corner and paces like a wolf stalking his prey, kicking off his slippers to compete barefoot as the claps slowly subside.
Justin: And his partner....
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 SCU wrestlers 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, he is the SCW World Heavyweight champion, 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 the belt above his head. He quickly jumps down and moves towards the center of the ring, looking at his opponents.
Adams: This is a preview for what we will see at Into The Void.
Ben and Fenris are talking amongst themselves as Jake Raab is telling Mark to get out of the ring. Jasmine St. John is asking who is starting for Ben and Fenris as she turns toward the time keeper. The bell sounds as Fenris nods his head while Ben steps through the ropes and stands on the apron.
DING DING DING!
Fenris looks across the ring at Jake Raab. Jake locks eyes with Fenris as the two gentlemen steps toward the center of the ring. Jake has his right hand in a blocking stance as he watches Fenris. Fenris is standing in an orthodox stance as he sways back and forth. Jake strikes with a quick jab to the cheek as Fenris staggers backward. Jake continues to throw quick jabs before Fenris grabs a hold of his arm and flings him across the ring with a quick arm drag. Jake hits the canvas then bounces back up to his feet.
Fenris comes running at him but Jake catches him with a strong overhand punch. The punch knocks Fenris down as Jake hits the ropes then drops an elbow drop across the chest. Fenris lets out a gasp before Jake gets into a top mounted position. Fenris is fighting to get into a half guard as Jake is trying to block Fenris' movements. However Jake doesn't realize he left his stomach open as Fenris strikes with a double axe handle right into his stomach. Jake lets out a loud groan while leaning over and holding his stomach. Fenris uses his incredible leg strength to throw Jake off while quickly getting back up to his feet.
Adams: Jake and Fenris are showcasing their MMA skillset.
Jake slowly getting back up to a knee as Fenris strikes with multiple low roundhouse kicks to Jake's chest. Jake sits back down as Fenris hits the ropes and on the rebound slams his shin straight into the back of Jake. Jake bows out as Fenris wraps his arms around his neck while trapping his left arm. Fenris keeps the hold on before standing up while dragging Jake up as well. Fenris then pops his hips while connecting with a modified suplex. Fenris then grabs a hold of Jake's hand and pulls him toward his corner. Ben tags Fenris while using his forearm and gets into the ring. He lands a stiff kick into Jake's sternum before connecting with a hip toss.
Jake rolls over onto his knees while absorbing more pain but manages to catch an oncoming Ben with a quick bearhug. He stands straight up while rag dolling Ben before tossing him over his shoulder and hitting a running powerslam. Jake picks Ben up and twirls his arm before whipping towards his corner. Jake strikes with a backhand chop before tagging Mark Cross into the match.

Ben lies down in front of Mark as he runs over him. Mark bounces off the other side as Ben kips up to his feet.
Mark rebounds as Ben catches him with a perfect dropkick. Ben quickly gets back up to his feet as he picks up Mark off the ground.
Simone: The champion versus challenger is off to a fast start.
Adams: Earlier, Fenris and Jake were engaging in an MMA style fight.
Ben goes to whip Mark off towards the ropes but Ben pulls him back while snapping off a quick powerslam. Ben quickly pops back up to his feet while motioning for Mark to get up to his feet. Mark gets up to a knee before catching Ben with a double leg takedown before transitioning himself into a side headlock. Ben slowly rises to his feet while Mark continues to keep the hold on while dragging himself back towards his corner. As Mark inches closer, Jake tags himself back into the match while Mark holds Ben. Jake enters the ring while dropping an elbow down across the back. Mark lets go of the side headlock while stepping through the ropes. Jake takes over with a headlock of his own while putting him against the ring ropes. Jake lands a few well timed Muay Thai knee strikes before whipping across the ring.
As Ben hits the ropes closest to his corner, Fenris manages to tag himself into the ring as Jake lifts Ben into the air before slamming him down face first with a flapjack. Jake pops back up to a knee as Fenris strikes with a running knee to the back of his head. Ben rolls out of the ring as Fenris drops a knee across the neck of Jake before going for a quick pinfall attempt. Jasmine quickly slides into position.
ONE!
TWO!
Jasmine is about to strike her hand down for two when Jake shoots his right shoulder up. Fenris sits up on his knee and gets into a top mounted position. He grabs Jake by his head and drops multiple forearms across his face. Fenris continues to fire down forearms until Jake lands a strong right hand to the gut followed by a left hook to Fenris' ribcage.

Jake continues to land hard blows to Fenris' body before standing back up straight. A small cut has appeared over Jake's right eye as he checks it. He bends down to pick Fenris up but gets caught with a sharp elbow into the eye as Jake grabs it and falls back towards the ropes. Fenris gets back up, grabs Jake in a Muay Thai stance and starts driving his knees directly into Jake's head. Jake tries to cover up but Fenris just seems to be getting the better of the exchange. Fenris moves his hands down toward Jake's hand and shoots him off towards the other side of the ring. Fenris comes running at him. Jake ducks under Fenris' outstretched arms before hitting the other ropes. As he does, Mark manages to tag himself into the match.

Mark turns back toward Fenris as Ben knocks him down with a clothesline. Ben follows it up with another clothesline followed by a jumping calf kick.

As Jasmine is about to bring her hand down for a three, Fenris breaks it up with a sliding knee across Mark's face.
Simone: Fenris comes in for the massive save.
Fenris hops up to his feet, steps around the ring before slamming his forearm into the face of Jake. Jake falls off the apron as Fenris rolls out of the ring and continues the beatdown on Jake. Mark, however, is holding his face as he looks toward Jasmine. Mark smacks the canvas as he looks down at Ben. Mark bounces off the ropes looking for a shining wizard. He raises his leg as soon as Ben grabs him around the waist before slamming him down with a double A style spinebuster. Ben quickly goes for cover as Jasmine drops into position.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Jasmine signals for the bell as Ben Jordan gets to a knee.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners....Fenris and Ben Jordan
Fenris rolls back into the ring with blood covering his hands as Ben is just getting back to his feet. The two men are celebrating their victory.
Simone: Could this be the scene at Into The Void?
Adams: That was a great match.
The lights in the arena drop to black, causing the fans to call out. Watch Me by The Phantoms. Blue lights start to fill the entrance ramp, flashing down on smoke that has begun to rise. The blue spotlights flash to the top of the ramp where a man in leather pants and a long leather jacket sits. The man sits cross legged and looking down.
Simone: Last week, we saw this man brutally attack Teddy Warren. Tonight we're looking for answers why.
Tony stands up, for the first time looking at the ring. He slowly reaches up and start to unbutton the jacket, from top to bottom. He pulls the jacket apart, showing a well toned body. His cold eyes stare at the ring as he takes the jacket off and drops it next to him. He slowly walks to the ring, not an ounce of emotion on his face as he gets to the ring steps and slowly walks up. He steps through the ropes, before making his way to the center of the ring and sitting down, his cold pale eyes looking around the ring as Justin hands him the microphone and the music fades. The lights in the building drop to black one crimson spotlight shines down on Tony in the middle of the ring.
Adams: Well this is unique.
Simone: Well this is the first time Tony Thorn has ever been in a ring with a live mic.
Tony raises the microphone to his lips.
Tony: They say timing is everything and that could be one of the truest statements ever uttered by anyone at all. Timing is everything. Take a look at your lives, take a look at the time you met your partners. What if that day you decided not to leave the house? What if you decided to go somewhere else? How different lives would be, so yes, timing is everything.
He continues to look down.
Tony: Last week I felt it, it was the right time and through any number of chances, I could have indeed sat and picked my time, picked my target, due to being many, many worthy people on the roster than needed help. There was that little Irish man, who used the powers of social media to compare his current status of being part of an active roster, to my whereabouts. I believe the question was where is Tony Thorn now, as if to brag that he had been an active member of the Sin City Wrestling roster and I had not. It would have worked better Lachlan if you had a record worth bragging about, but frankly, you never.
Tony tilts his head as he looks at the canvas, his shadow in the crimson light.
Tony: It didn't take too long to come to the conclusion that you Lachlan was not a viable target, due to working out that there was less than one percent chance that you would actually show up at a show that you wasn't booked on. I based that on the fact that you rarely show up to work unless it's to wrestle. I knew you wouldn't last week. I proved myself right, so your impetual laziness while using social media to vent about a company you offer nothing to, actually saved you.
Tony moves his finger across his shadow on the canvas.
Tony: There was another option, a man who had made things very clear to the whole world that he would be here last week and he is a man of his word, a man called Griffin Hawkins. This man knows how to draw a crowd to the point even the staff were wondering if he was set to announce his retirement, but I knew better.
A slight smile on the left side of Tony's face can be seen but his eyes stay on the canvas.
Tony: I knew there was no chance of retirement for Mr. Hawkins, because I know your heart beats for Sin City Wrestling and I know the day you step away from Sin City Wrestling, or wrestling in general, the part of you that keeps you alive, the part of you that drives you through life, would simply stop and you would have no purpose in this world. I could have made you my target cause I suspected greatly this was all about a championship on another level. I could have sat there and proved to you that you're over reaching talking about The World Heavyweight Championship, by making you my target. You haven't improved since your first match weeks ago with Mr. Jordan and even managed to lose your very own title in the meantime. If anyone needed a lesson in self importance, it was you Mr. Hawkins, but you questioned why is it my intention was to walk down that path of no way back.
Tony taps the ring with his finger before looking up for the first time.
Tony: I'm doing it to save a man living a false life, a false being, drifting through this world not being who he should be. Have we not all seen the insufferable amount of times Teddy Warren has changed his look, his attitude, the way he acts towards people?
Tony looks back down.
Tony: We've seen it, we've lived it with him and frankly, this last time, the family man, the redemption, the trying to live right, well Mr. Warren, we know that's not you, we all know that it will take you five minutes again to change your mind. You're not that guy Mr. Warren, you will never be that guy, you're lying to the world, you're lying to your friends, you're lying to your family, you're lying to me!
Simone: Seems like his tone is getting louder.
Tony: You're lying to anyone you think will listen but I see through that Mr. Warren, I see through who you're trying to be because I know exactly who you are. Through the years of faces, the years of looks, the years of trying to score approval from all these people, I look at you and see one person, I look at you and see who you are and I am willing to save you. You might not want it, you might not think you need it but believe me, you do. You can not spend your life faking a while, when the real you will benefit your life, your career and your finances much more then you can do on your own. You need me Mr Warren to be who you really are. You need me to show you the right way to live your life so you can reach your full potential.
Tony lifts his head up, looking at the camera, his eyes pale, his stare stony.
Tony: You need saving Mr Warren and you're lucky that I'm here, you're lucky that I chose you amongst the so many people that needed my help. When this is all said and done, you will be thanking me and dedicating you're career to me, because no matter what it takes, I will make sure the world sees the very best Teddy Warren can be. You're all very welcome.
The crimson spotlight shuts off, leaving the ring in darkness.
Simone: Now that was very informative.
Adams: And new, I don't think I've ever seen someone sit in a ring with mood lighting and just talking that calm.
Austin James Mercer walks around the backstage area reading through some paperwork before stopping and looking around feeling eyes on him.
Alicia Lukas: Pssst Austin
Austin stops again and turns around before slowly looking down and under a table where he finds Alicia
Austin James Mercer: What the hell are you doing?
Alicia slides out from under the table
Alicia Lukas: I'm hunting Bobbie...
Austin James Mercer: Oh god I don't care...
Alicia Lukas: But I
Austin puts up his hand
Austin James Mercer: No...NO.....don't care...
Austin turns and walks away. Alicia goes to say something but instead pouts and folds her arms stomping off giving up for the night.
We return to the backstage area where Violet Amelia is sitting on top of some wooden crates while her father is standing next to her with his eyes firmly on his phone. Her sister is occupying a crate next to her.
Shelby: So who is next Vi?
Violet shrugs her shoulders.
Violet: I'm hoping it's against Candy for the Bombshell Roulette Championship.
A loud chuckle echoes as Violet turns her head to see Bea Barnhart standing six feet away with her husband and their dog. Bea is trying to hold back her laughter as Violet narrows her gaze toward her rival.
Bea: Did you hear that Bill? It sounds like a loser.
Bill chuckles as Violet hops off the crate.
Bea: You better stop Violet before you blow a knee.
Violet looks at Bea.
Violet: Why don't you take a hike?
Bea: No chance Violet. Everyone knows you can't beat me.
Violet smirks.
Violet: That's funny. Because you can't beat anyone else. However, I beat Dani Weston.
Bea shakes her head.
Bea: Let's get out of her Bill. I'm tired of talking to losers.
Violet laughs.
Violet: Why don't you look in the mirror?
Bea turns her head and starts making her way closer towards Violet. Shelby and Dustin steps in between them and pushes Violet backwards. Bill laughs as Bea chuckles loudly.
Bea: You are such a failure.
Violet looks over her father's shoulder.
Violet: I've had enough of you Bea. How about you and me next week?
Bea talks it over with Bill before looking back at Violet.
Bea: Haven't we already seen this movie once before? How about we spice it up abit? Why don't you and your old man take on the two of us in a tag team match?
Dustin looks over his shoulder and shakes his head. Violet chuckles.
Violet: Bea is scared of me. Let's see if Mark or Christian signs off on this but we accept.
Dustin forces Violet out of the picture as both Barnharts are smirking.
Justin: The following contest is your main event of the evening and is for the SCW Bombshell World Championship.... Introducing first, the challenger.
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.
Justin: From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at one hundred and fifteen pounds, she is The Blossoming One, Christina Rose!
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...
"Ultranumb" by Blue Stahli hits the venue's soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong cheers from the crowd. She she acknowledges the positive reaction that she's getting as she makes her way toward the ring, completely focused on the task at hand.
Justin: From Sedona, Arizona, weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds, she is the SCW World Bombshell champion, she is Andrea Hernandez!
She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, continuing to soak in the cheers she gets as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.
As Ultranumb slowly begins to fade, Drew Patton is standing in the center of the ring with the Sin City Wrestling World Bombshell Championship in his hands. Drew turns a complete 360 before looking at Christina then at Andrea. Both ladies give him a subtle nod of their heads as he moves across the ring towards the side of the ring where the time keeper and Justin Decent are positioned. He moves back towards the center of the ring and once more asks both competitors if they were ready to begin.
Adams: I can't wait for this match to begin.
Simone: Both ladies are extremely talented and both want to be the top female in the company. Only one can walk out with the gold. Tonight we find out who wants it more.
Drew claps his hands together while lifting his right arm into the air and signaling towards the time keeper with his index finger.
DING DING DING!
The bell sounds as Andrea and Christina slowly step out of their respective corners. They move towards the middle of the ring. Both ladies give a sign of sportsmanship with a quick fist bump. After the bump, the two ladies begin to circle each other. Around the third rotation, Andrea and Christina comes together in the center while tying each other up in a collar elbow hold. Both ladies are jockeying for position as Andrea is pushing Christina back towards the ring ropes. Christina plants her right foot before pushing back against Andrea. Neither woman looks to be backing down as they break apart.
They come together once again but Andrea is the first one to get a clear advantage with working Christina into a side headlock. Andrea is able to keep the hold on for a few seconds before Christina slams a forearm into the side of Andrea. She slams a few more shots into the ribcage until Andrea loosens up her grip. Christina takes the opportunity to grab Andrea by her arm and flings her overhead with a quick arm drag. Andrea bounces off the canvas as Christina follows it up with a front dropkick. Andrea falls onto her back as Christina runs toward the ropes. She rebounds off them but Andrea drops down in front of her. Christina jumps over her but as she rebounds off the other side, Andrea springs up to her feet to catch Christina with a quick hurricanrana which sends her halfway across the ring.
Adams: We are already off to a fast start. Both ladies are evenly matched.
Simone: Yes they are Jason so it will come down to who makes the first mistake.
Christina pushes herself back up to her feet as Andrea comes running at her. Christina catches her with a quick dropkick to Andrea's knee as Andrea smacks herself face first onto the second turnbuckle. Christina follows it up with a few sharp kicks to the upper back. Andrea is gritting her teeth as Christina picks her up and shoves her back first into the corner. Christina proceeds to strike with a sharp knife edge chop across Andrea's chest. The shot itself sounded like a gunshot as Christina strikes with two more chops. Andrea is grasping at her chest as Christina grabs her around the neck and snaps off a perfectly executed snapmare. She follows it up with perfectly placed forearm to a small of Andrea's back.
Andrea bows out as Christina strikes with a soccer style kick to her chest. Andrea is lying on her back as Christina springs off the ropes but gets caught with double knees to her gut. She holds onto her midsection as Andrea rolls over onto her knees. She pushes herself up to her feet while grabbing Christina by the head. She hooks her arm around the neck while using her other hand to grab her arm. Andrea drapes Christina's arm around her neck before hooking her by the tights. She then pops her hips and snaps off a quick suplex before floating over while keeping control of Christina's neck. She then grabs a hold of Christina's arm, swings it up before snapping off a neckbreaker.
Adams: What a series of moves pulled off by Andrea.
Simone: Christina made a costly mistake and Andrea capitalized.
Andrea gets back up to her feet. She runs toward the ropes looking for another big move. However Christina managers to catch her on the rebound with spinning heel kick with the heel of her right foot catching Andrea flush on the nose. Andrea drops to the canvas as Christina quickly goes for a quick pin attempt. Drew Patton slides into position.
ONE!
Drew gets a one count before Andrea kicks out. Christina doesn't argue with the referee as she is already back up to her feet. She runs towards the ropes, springs off the middle rope and catches Andrea with a picture perfect moonsault which she turns into an inverted DDT. Andrea is grabbing her head as Christina follows it up with a double knee to the gut. She rolls through it and stands right back up to her feet. Andrea is rolling around on the canvas gripping her midsection as Christina comes running at her before striking with a baseball style dropkick to the lower back. Andrea cries out in pain as Christina is grabbing for her. Christina manages to her get her hand on a handful of Andrea's hair. Christina lets go after wrapping her arm around Andrea's neck. Christina holds up one hand before slamming it down across the back then dropping backwards while driving Andrea face first into the canvas. Christina thinking she has it won shoots the half and reaches down to hook a leg.
ONE!
Tw......
Drew Patton is just about to say two when he notices Andrea's foot draped over the bottom rope. Drew stops the count and points toward the foot. Christina can't believe it as she quickly gets back up and drags Andrea back towards the center.
Adams: That's one way to save energy in a match like this.
Simone: That's just great ring awareness. Christina didn't realize she had hit that DDT so close to the ropes. When she went for the cover, she made it easier for Andrea to get her foot on the bottom rope.
Christina runs toward the ropes, she springs off the top rope and twists into the air while looking for a splash. As she is coming down, Andrea rolls out of the way at the last second causing Christina to crash down onto her sternum. Andrea pushes herself back up while bounces off the ropes herself. As she rebounds, she is able to catch Christina with well timed shining wizard. Christina falls backwards as Andrea follows it up with a back handspring into an elbow drop. Andrea goes for a pin attempt this time as Drew slides into position.
ONE
Tw.....
Christina manages to get a shoulder up as Andrea nods her head while standing up to her feet. She bends down to pick Christina up off the canvas but gets met with a quick knee to the jaw. Andrea staggers back as Christina comes running at her, she leaps into the air and catches her arm around Andrea's neck. She then brings her down hard with a sling blade type maneuver. Christina is surprised that even worked as she bounces off the ropes and connects with an elbow drop of her own. She quickly gets back up while grabbing Andrea by the arm. She helps her up too only whip her towards the corner.
Simone: Christina is back in control. Can she find the right move to put away Andrea?
Adams: This has been a back and forth contest. Neither lady is given an inch.
Christina follows up the whip with a quick flying forearm. She keeps Andrea from falling down with another sharp knife edge chop across the chest. Christina goes for another one but Andrea blocks it. She turns it around and delivers her own barrage of knife edge chops followed by a few forearms. Andrea grabs a hold of Christina's arms, looking to shoot her off towards the adjacent corner but she feigns the whip by pulling Christina back into a spinning heel kick. Christina rolls out of the ring following the kick trying to catch her breath. Andrea is standing inside the ring hopping up and down. Christina is slowly getting back up to her feet as Andrea bounces off the far ropes. She sprints across the ring, steps onto the middle rope before catching Christina off guard with a plancha right on top of her. Andrea is the first one back up to her feet but she is feeling the affects of the move she just landed. She picks Christina up and tosses her back inside before Drew can start the count.
Andrea hops up onto the ring apron and grabs a hold of the top rope. She motions for Christina to get back up to her feet. Christina slowly rises up still reeling from the spinning heel kick. She turns around to find Andrea flying towards and striking with a well timed seated senton.
Adams: The Sedona Splash! I do believe that is all she wrote.
Andrea quickly grabs a hold of Christina's arm and hooks her into an O'Connor Roll which Drew slides into position.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Drew signals for the bell as Andrea quickly lets go of Christina.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and still World Bombshell Champion.....Andrea Hernandez
Andrea is sitting on her knees as Drew hands her the championship belt. Andrea is holding the belt in her hands before raising it above her head.
Simone: Andrea did it! She retained after a very game Christina Rose gave her quite a match.
Adams: Next up could be Evie Jordan.
Simone: And Evie is on a roll herself after defeating Christina's wife earlier tonight, but that is a story for another day.
Adams: Oh, well that's sad.
Simone: Our night is over Jason, but in a few hours time, you can join SCU for Underground 58! We'll be back with another Climax Control next week. Till then, thanks for watching! Goodnight everybody!
The cameras fade to black as Andrea holds the championship belt above her head.
