The opening shot is inside of the famed Staggs Dungeon training 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 dignitaries as Erik Staggs, Giani Di Luca, Veronica Taylor, Underground Champions O'Malley and Celeste North,Holly Wood, Alex Rush, Team Go and several others, both SCU 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 Staggs 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 Staggs Dungeon 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 fans cheer as Amanda struts out in a rainbow evening gown with colorful feather lining and high heels. The music starts and Amanda starts her performance.

Amanda: People at the party and I'm wanting to dance (D-d-d-d-d-da-dance)

Simone: Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Staggs Dungeon for this, the latest edition of SCW Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone...

Adams: If a cemetery raises its prices, do they blame it on the cost of living?... I mean, I'm Jason Adams because ... you know. That's my name!

Simone: *sighs* And tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is the 'Staying Home' edition of Climax Control before we board the Sun Princess cruise liner in Los Angeles for the eighth edition of Summer XXXTreme!

Adams: We may not be setting sail because of the No Sail Order, but SCW isn't letting that bring us or the SCW Universe down! Everyone watching at home and all the men and women from the Saxon who've taken care of us will all have a night to remember!

Simone: And in tonight's opener, we prepare for what's to come in the World Mixed Tag Team title match when one-half of the champions, Johanna Krieger, takes on one-half of the challengers in Bella Madison!

Adams: O'Malley is set to challenge for the Roulette Championship in two weeks, but tonight he's got a big size disadvantage going for him against his opponent, Brandon Sludge of the Trenton Tigers!

Simone: Then we have a battle of two of the very best, be it in the Superstars or Bombshells, when Christina Rose goes one-on-one against Keira Fisher-Johnson! Christina has a big challenge against Mercedes Vargas at Summer XXXTreme VIII, whereas Keira will be challenging for the Roulette title!

Adams: Roxi Johnson and Amber Ryan have had their issues before and will have another in two weeks, but they've also had problems dealing with the Metal Maniacs, Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister! Tonight the two opponents have to become a team to walk away from this tag team match!

Simone: Maki is one of three women challenging for the Roulette title in the traditional Ultimate X Over the Pool, but tonight she goes one-on-one with one of the rising stars in the Bombshell and mixed tag team division as she opposes Bea Barnhart!

Adams: Then the match for the Bombshell Roulette Championship! Seleana offered an open title shot and you know how fast Jessie Salco is at accepting those! And tonight Seleana has Maki in her corner, and Jessie has Keira Fisher-Johnson in hers! It's a preview of the title match at Summer XXXTreme VIII!

Simone: Then in another preview of the men's Roulette title match, the reigning champion Kedron Williams defends tonight against the man who defeated him in a non-title match five weeks ago in Lachlan Kane! But we MUST remember that Sierra Williams, Lachlan's wife, openly interfered in that match and cost Kedron. The question is, will she try again?

Adams: Then in the main event! Its champions against challengers! The Golden Duo, the World Champions! Husband and wife, Ben and Evie Jordan on one side! And on the other? The man Ben defends against at Summer XXXTreme VIII, Griffin Hawkins, and one of Evie's TWO challengers, Andrea Hernandez! And the second challenger? Alicia Lukas will be the guest referee!

Simone: All that and more on SCW Climax Control!




The cameras cut to the back where Candy was looking around her locker room, frantically

Candy: Fluffy? FLUFFY??? Where are you?

She looked under tables and chairs, unable to locate the pup

Candy: Marcus? Have you seen Fluffy?

Marcus poked his head out of the bathroom.

Marcus: I thought she was with you?

Candy: No... she was asleep in the chair, I went to hair and makeup to get ready for my match, and she's gone now.

Marcus: She couldn't have gone far. I'm sure she just sniffed out some food and is probably at catering, stealing some one's sandwich or something. We will find her.

Candy nods as she leaves the locker room and heads out into the hallway. She was calling out for Fluffy when she turned the corner and bumped right into Miles "Milo" Kasey.

Candy: I'm so sorry... I'm looking for Fluffy. She's small, and white, and... well... fluffy. She has a pink sparkly collar on and the cutest little bark you've ever heard. Have you seen her?

Milo: Fluffy? OH! You must be Candy. Bella has talked about you a few times. Fluffy is your dog, right?

Candy: Yeah. I can't find her and I'm scared she is hurt.

Milo: I haven't seen anything myself. But if I do, I'll do what I can to get her back to you. I promise.

Candy: Thank you... FLUFFY????

She proceeded down the hall, preoccupied with finding her dog, as the cameras cut.




Justin moves to enter the ring and brings the microphone to his lips.

Justin:The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...

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

Justin: From Nuremburg Germany, she is Johanna Krieger.

Adams: The current tag team champion looks ready to lay a beating on her opponent tonight.

Simone: She certainly does Jason and maybe also wants to send a message to her opponent for Summer XXXTreme.

She turns to look at the entrance as the arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows, climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kickpads. The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing her wrestling gear along with a ring jacket with the hood up and starts making her way to the ring Towards the end of the chorus she hops up on the ring side and climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket with a smirk and a wink as the song fades out.

Justin: And her opponent...From New York City...Bella Madison!

Adams: Bella Madison showing no fear of Johanna Belinda. I guess she is ready for the match tonight and for the supercard.

Drew Patton motions for both women to move to the center of the ring and begins to tell them the rules for the match.

Simone: We are about to get this show on the road with our opening match and there is the bell.

DING DING DING!

Johanna and Bella move to the middle of the ring as Drew motions for the match to start. Bella smirks at Johanna who glares. Bella holds out her hand which Johanna looks at then ignores as she staggers Bella to the side with a hard slap. Bella grabs her face in surprise and turns to see Johanna who is moving towards her. Bella uses a dropkick to send Johanna to the mat then follows up with a shining wizard as she is starting to get to her knees. Johanna goes down to the mat hard but is able to roll away from Bella who drops to make a pin attempt. Krieger quickly gets to her feet and turns to Bella who is also on her feet. The pair lock up in a collar and elbow tie up that Johanna uses to push Madison into the corner. Drew comes in to warn Krieger off Bella. Johanna lifts her hands and backs away from Madison who is about to come out of the corner but is rocked back with a hard right that has her sagging against the turnbuckles. Krieger smirks as she is backed away by Drew Patton. Bella brings her hand to her lips to check for blood before glaring at Johanna who taunts her from the middle of the ring. Madison charges out of the corner. The two lock up once more but Bella is able to leverage the collar and elbow into a hammerlock that Johanna tries to escape. Bella tucks her head against the back of Krieger that saves her from the vicious back elbow Johanna throws to escape the hold.

Adams: It looks like Bella has done her homework on Johanna Krieger and how she is known for strikes. Keeping her head against the back saves her from Krieger's strikes.

Johanna sets her feet and pushes herself backwards to pin Bella into the corner. Drew moves to the pair and Bella holds her hands up to indicate she is the victim of Krieger who walks towards Drew menacingly. Bella uses the distance to climb on the middle turnbuckle and then launches herself at a turning Krieger to take her down with a hurricanrana. Johanna rolls to her stomach quickly as her hands go to her head to cradle it as she kicks at the mat. Angrily she looks up at Bella who is advancing towards her. Johanna rushes to her feet with a stiff forearm into the midsection of Madison who doubles over holding her stomach. Johanna stands and brings another stiff forearm down on the back of Bella that drives her to the mat. Reaching down, Johanna wraps a handful of hair in her hand then pulls Bella to her feet. Looking at Malachi who is standing just out of the ringside area, she uses her head to headbutt Madison who wobbles but doesn't go to the mat due to the handful of hair. Drew is warning Johanna who hits another headbutt that staggers Bella again. A third headbutt drops Bella to the mat as Johanna releases the handful of hair. Drew gets in her face to remind her to follow the rules as Bella pushes herself away from the pair.

Simone: The champion has her challenger on the ropes Jason with those hard headbutts. They had to have hurt.

Bella pushes herself right out of the ring and moves to Malachi where she is checked by her partner. Johanna moves to leave the ring but Drew warns her back. Krieger shrugs him off and is about to slide out of the ring when Bella charges towards her and uses a kick to the head of Johanna to have her sag on the middle rope. Catching the head of Krieger, Bella pulls her out of the ring and then to the floor of the ringside area where she begins to stomp on the body of Johanna. Drew leans out of the ring between the ropes and tells Bella to bring the fight back into the ring. Bella ignores him as Patton begins to count the two bombshells out. Bella finally reaches down and pulls Johanna up by the hair and whips her into the ring under the bottom rope. Bella pulls herself on the apron and then through the ropes where she catches the arms of Johanna and locks on a surfboard that has Johanna cry out in pain. Patton moves to check on Krieger who shakes her head no after Drew asks if she submits. Krieger rolls to the left and right to break the hold and manages to get enough leverage to roll to her knees that affects the hold. Bella tries to force her back over but Johanna is able to break the surfboard and gets to her feet.

Adams: Johanna got Bella off balance and now the surfboard is broken. But Bella has really punished the arms of Johanna in that hold.

Simone: She may have punished her with the hold Jason but I think she also made her angry.

Johanna glares at Bella before grabbing her and whipping her into the corner. Following her in, Johanna pushes her against the ropes and begins to slam her knee into the midsection of Bella which doubles her over into the ropes. Drew moves to admonish Johanna who glares at Drew that has him back up a step but tells her that he is going to disqualify her if she doesn't listen. Johanna nods and then backs up slightly only to grab the arm of Bella and bouncing her off the ropes, she whips her hard into the opposite ropes. Madison bounces off the ropes into an arm drag that Krieger turns into an armbar in the middle of the ring. Bella fights to her feet and attempts her own arm drag only to have Johanna drop a stiff forearm on the shoulder of Bella that drops her to one knee. Madison looks up at Krieger who is reaching down. Desperately, Madison grabs the head of Johanna and rolls her into a small package that Drew counts a one count before Krieger kicks out of the hold. Bella rolls towards the ropes as Johanna kips up to a vertical base. Striding towards Bella who is trying to escape the ring, Johanna catches her and pulls her back by the hair into the ring. Madison is clutching the ring ropes and screaming at Drew to force Johanna to break the hold on her hair.

Simone: It looks like Johanna Krieger is starting to take control of this match Jason. Bella is going to need to step things up if she wants to pull out the win on the champion.

Patton is able to force Johanna to release the hair of Bella. Moving to the middle of the ring, Johanna holds up her hands and turns her back to Bella for a moment. Madison gets into the ring and charges towards Krieger who sees her and then uses a superkick to send Bella to the mat. Kipping up quickly, Johanna moves towards the corner as she watches Madison roll to her stomach. Krieger motions for Bella to get to her feet as she kneels down slightly. Bella pushes to her hands and knees then gets to her feet as does Krieger who charges out of the corner and takes Madison off her feet with the running busaiku knee. Madison is flipped to the mat hard and is laying there barely moving. Rolling to Bella, Johanna rolls her over and grabs both legs to lock her into the pin.

Simone: What a devastating move Jason. Johanna calls that the Skold ov Makt and it looks like it has knocked Bella Madison out.

Drew drops to make the count.

ONE!

Adams: Bella Madison is out. She is not moving and Johanna looks like she is going to pull the win out here Belinda.

TWO!!

Adams: Wait...what is going on? Johanna is pulling the legs of Bella higher as Madison is starting to move.

Simone: I don't think that Bella is going to be quick enough to get her shoulders off the mat.

THREE!!!

Adams: There it is Belinda. Chalk up a win for the champion.

Drew Patton signals for the bell as Johanna Krieger throws the legs of Bella to the side and then gets to her feet.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Joanna Krieger!

Drew holds up the arm of Krieger as Bella moves to sit up. Johanna pulls her arm away from Patton then reaches to pull Bella to her feet and whips her into the ropes. Bella grabs the ropes to stop herself and drops quickly to roll out of the ring and rushes towards Malachi as Johanna lunges towards her.

Adams: Johanna sending a message to her challengers for Summer XXXTreme.

Simone: I can't wait to see what will happen at the supercard when these two teams face off for the Mixed Tag team championship.

Johanna climbs the turnbuckles near where Bella and Malachi are glaring at her in the ring. She is handed her title which she uses to taunt Bella who angrily glares and can be heard to tell Johanna that she is coming to take the belt from her. In the ring, Johanna just laughs as she holds the title up once more.




The cameras cut to the back of the arena where SCU's own Coby Quik is standing in the hallway outside of a closed locker room door. The camera moves around to show the logo on the door signifies that The Black Sheep are inside. He lets out a deep breath and knocks. The door pulls open immediately, and the cameras catch the surprised face of SCW Grand Slam Champion Kristopher Ryans.

Kris: Not who I expected to come calling...

Coby shrugs his shoulders.

Coby: I didn't expect you to even be here tonight. You aren't booked. Thought I would stop by so we could talk about later tonight.

Kris seems confused as to what Coby means, and a smile spreads across his face.

Kris: I am not sure Chelsea would be excited about you branching out like that.

Coby does not even entertain the idea Kris was trying to derail him with.

Coby: SCU seems like it might get hectic. You and your Nobody friends keep poking GRIME. It's only a matter of time before that becomes my problem.

He shakes his head and then points up at the logo on the door.

Kris: You see this?

Coby nods, but comes to the realization that he is wasting his time before Kris even gets going.

Kris: This means that I am one of The Black Sheep here. Anything you might have to say to The Nobodies can be said on Underground. Seems awfully beneath you to come to us for help though.

Coby takes a deep breath, not wanting to let Kris get under his skin.

Coby: That's because none of you are much better than them. At least you are on the right side now though.

Kris shakes his head.

Kris: We aren't on anyone's side. I can't speak for the rest, but I'm not trying to help anyone in SCU fight off GRIME. I don't care. The only thing I care about is them ripping us off, and not even in an entertaining way.

Coby cuts him off with a sarcastic laugh.

Coby: Should have known that even when you're doing the right thing it is for the wrong reason.

Kris does not take the bait though.

Kris: You're right. You should have. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mixed tag division to keep my eye on. If you want The Nobodies, find us later. I have Sin City stuff to worry about. Not even thinking about Underground until the show is over. I wouldn't want to lose focus on what's important.

It was not spoken in a hostile tone, but the words cut into Coby all the same. Kris felt abandoned, so he was willing to hang Coby out on his own.

Coby: Yeah... I guess not.

Coby shakes his head as Kris closes the door in his face. Coby stands there for a second before hanging his head and moving down the hallway away from the camera as it fades to black.




The cameras cut to the back where Candy had arrived in catering and was looking around.

Candy: Fluffy? FLUFFY!

She looks under all the tables while whistling, trying to locate the pint sized fluff ball. She was almost in a panic as she was still having no luck finding Fluffy.

Candy: FLUFFY WHERE ARE YOU????

She sat down for a moment, trying not to freak out. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and Malachi was standing behind her.

Malachi: You ok, Candy?

She wiped a tear off her cheek as she stood up.

Candy: No. Fluffy is missing and I'm worried that she is hurt! Have you seen her?

Malachi: Not recently, I'm sorry. I'm sure she is fine. She is probably just playing hide and go seek... and winning?

Candy giggled a little bit, feeling better for a brief moment.

Candy: She is good at that game. She taught me everything I know.

Malachi shook his head.

Malachi: If I see her, I promise I will have Bella call you. We will keep an eye out.

Candy: Thank you! People say you are mean... but you are one of my besties and my besties aren't mean!

She jumped up and hugged Malachi. He just stood there, his face looking annoyed as she had her arms wrapped around his neck. He uncomfortably patted her on the back trying to get her to break the hold. She released and started searching for Fluffy again. The cameras cut to a close up of his face, and he looked to be a mix of confused and annoyed as the cameras cut




O'Malley and Darcy are seen standing just a distance aways from the locker room areas. O'Malley is all geared up and ready for his match later against Brandon Sludge and Darcy proudly holds his SCU Underground championship for him. They're quietly talking to one another when the camera pans back and Pussy Willow walks up to them, eager for an interview. Darcy rolls her eyes, but bites her tongue, as O'Malley focuses on Pussy, with a smile on his face.

O'Malley: Oh, hey Pussy. How's it goin', love?

Pussy Willow is taken by surprise at his calm and friendly demeanor when he greets her. She smiles, too, but stumbles on her response.

Pussy: Oh. Uh, hi, O'Malley. Darcy. You seem...in a good mood?

Darcy looks away, avoiding eye contact for the moment, as O'Malley nods.

O'Malley: Course I am. Why wouldn't I be? I've got a match comin' up against that Brandon Sludge fella that I'm gonna win. I've got the Roulette Championship match at Summer XXXTreme that I'm gonna win and become a double champ because I'm still the Undergound Champ. I've got a beautiful woman at me side who loves me. Kinda hard to be in a foul mood about anythin', am I right?

Pussy nods, though she still finds his good mood to be odd, considering how he's been lately.

Pussy: Yes, you're right. It's just that lately--

Darcy: Oh for God's sake, Pussy! Why can't you just accept that fact that he's in a good mood and move on to why you're here. Or do you want to put him in a bad mood?

Pussy: Funny. He's in a good mood, but you as always, are not. But fair enough. O'Malley, it's good to see you in such high spirits. I know things have been rough for you lately, but it seems like you've gotten yourself in the right frame of mind to turn things around.

Darcy isn't too pleased with Pussy's response to her. She attempts to step forward and closer to her, but O'Malley puts a hand against her and stops her. He turns back to Pussy.

O'Malley: Let's just say I've finally realized, thanks to people who know what they're talkin' about, that I wasn't helpin' me situation any. I mean, if I had stayed in a foul mood, it would work against me tonight against Brandon, and with a fella that big? I need all the advantages I can get.

Pussy: Are you at all nervous going up against him? He's nearly two hundred pounds heavier than you.

O'Malley: That don't mean much, Pussy. He might be a fair size bigger than me but the whole time I was preparin' fer goin' up against him, and he just says shite off the top of his head.

Pussy raises an eyebrow.

Pussy: What do you mean?

O'Malley: What do I mean? Did ye not watch that shite, Pussy? "O'Malley is a former SCU Champion.." Former? Does that look like former to ye, Pussy?

O'Malley points to the SCU Underground championship that Darcy is holding and Pussy looks. She then looks back to O'Malley and shakes her head, but before she can reply, O'Malley speaks up again.

O'Malley: No, it doesn't. That right there proves that Brandon doesn't know a damn thing about me, because he didn't bother to look and find out. I've done me research on him, so I know his weaknesses and I'm gonna take advantage of every single one so I walk out tonight with a win. And while he moves on to sit his chunky ass on the couch doin' nothin' at Summer XXXtreme, I'll be goin' on to win the Roulette Championship.

Pussy: Speaking of that, you seem to be more accepting of this opportunity. Last week, you weren't. What changed?

The longer this interview goes on, the more annoyed Darcy starts to grow. But she stays back quietly, waiting for O'Malley to finish.

O'Malley: I'll have plenty to say about that when I need to. Let's just say I realized that there's a reason I was given this opportunity and I'm not gonna sit around and just keep bitchin' about it.

Pussy: And...if you lose? You're going up against three tough competitors.

Darcy laughs. O'Malley and Pussy look back to her and she looks away. O'Malley then looks back to Pussy.

O'Malley: I'll cross that bridge when if it comes down to it, love. As fer right now, I'm focusin' on what needs to be done to not let that happen. Now, if ye'll excuse me, I need to get back to me private conversation with my love, here.

O'Malley then takes Darcy's hand and leads her away. Darcy grins at Pussy as they pass her and go find somewhere more private to finish talking. Pussy Willow shakes her head and shrugs before she walks off in the opposite direction.




The cameras cut to the back where Mark Cross was getting a cup of coffee when a mildly frantic Candy came around the corner. She saw Mark and ran up to him.

Candy: Have you seen Fluffy??? Did she come looking for another sandwich?

The Dragon: Sweet Mary and Joseph!

Mark nearly jumped out of his skin as the frantic voice came behind him from out of nowhere. He sighed heavily as he span around, some of his spilt latte dripping down his hand.

The Dragon: Nope, I've stopped bringing my own food after the last time, too risky. Has your pupper run off?

Candy: I don't know. She was in my locker room, I left for a few minutes, and now I can't find her...

Candy kept looking around, checking under things that are clearly too small for Fluffy to be hiding under.

Candy: It's not like her to run off for this long. I'm really worried.

The Dragon: Have you left bait? She seems kind of...food motivated? I guess?

Mark realised he wasn't much of a dog expert, and didn't know if they even could be food motivated. He took a sip of his coffee.

The Dragon: And anyway, I'll help you look. Not just a pretty face!

Mark turned his back, satisfied with the good advice he'd given, while he grabbed a napkin and dried the coffee from the side of his hand. As he turned around, he found that Candy was gone, and his eyes trained on the empty table nearby.

The Dragon: She's taken my sandwich...I just bought that...




Justin: This match is Standard Rules. The first to make his way to the ring, from Dublin, Ireland, at five feet eleven inches and one hundred ninety-five pounds, he is O'MALLEY!!!

The lights in Staggs Dungeon die down as the opening riffs of Gothic Celtic Music Shadow Wisps starts to play. The lights stay out for several seconds before dark green and white strobe lights start shining all around and fog fills the entrance and along the ramp. Moments later O'Malley steps through the curtain wearing a long black leather trench coat. He is joined by lady companion, Darcy Donohue. They stand at the entrance for several moments before O'Malley takes the first step on their way to the ring, and Darcy follows closely behind. Once he makes it to the ring he lets Darcy walk up the steps and follows behind her. He holds the ropes open for her, and she steps through, and he enters after her. They stand in the center of the ring where Darcy removes O'Malley's coat, then leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek before making her way to the outside, as his music dies down.

Justin: Next to make their way to the ring, from Cross City, Florida, at six feet even and three hundred fifty-five pounds, he is BRANDON SLUDGE!!!

"1994" blasts through the speakers as teal and orange lights float around the arena. Brandon Sludge bursts through the curtain as the crowd is going insane. Daniela V. Rodgers joins his side as the two of them make their way down the ramp. Brandon makes sure to acknowledge the people in the stands to let them know he appreciates them. Brandon slides into the ring then proceeds to do the worm before popping up and posing on the second turnbuckle which angers O'Malley who is on the other side of the ring watching him.

Adams: You can't help but love a wrestler like Brandon Sludge. Add into the equation that Brandon brings a major weight advantage over O'Malley of one hundred sixty pounds. Also when a wrestler like Sludge has the fans behind him it gives the wrestler added incentive to please their adoring fans.

Simone: I should have brought a barf bag having to listen to your mindless babbling. O'Malley has proven over and over again he is a top player in Sin City Wrestling and when he defeats Brandon Sludge in this match he will have proved it again.

Adams: The only way O'Malley can win is to have Darcy Donohue distract the Referee or otherwise get involved in the match.

Simone: Oh and you don't think Daniela would distract the Referee or otherwise get involved in this match?

Adams: Looking at the statistics there is a ninety percent chance of Darcy doing something compared to a ten percent chance of Daniela doing something.

Simone: Apparently Math was not one of your better subjects in school.

Referee Jacob Summers walks to each wrestler and checks them for foreign objects and foreign substances. Satisfied both wrestlers are clean he motions to the Timekeeper to ring the bell to officially start this match.

DING DING DING!

The two wrestlers approach and lock up. Brandon with the weight advantage maneuvers O'Malley into a corner where Referee Summers steps in and orders a break. Sludge releases the hold but before he can take a step back O'Malley kicks Brandon in the mid-section causing a warning from the Referee for a hit on a break. O'Malley pleads innocence claiming he thought Sludge was going to hit him on the break so he took action first. Referee Jacob Summers doesn't buy that excuse and informs O'Malley if this type of action keeps up he is willing to call a Disqualification on him.

Adams: First action of the match and O'Malley hits Brandon on the break. No surprise there.

Simone: He told the Referee he thought Brandon Sludge was going to hit him on the break so he took action to stop it. Apparently the Referee didn't see what O'Malley saw.

Darcy is upset at Referee Jacob Summers issuing a warning to O'Malley so she walks up the steps and stands on the ring apron yelling at the Referee. Daniela sees this obvious attempt at distracting the Referee so she quickly makes her way to where Darcy and shouts at her to get off the ring apron and return to the arena floor. Referee Jacob Summers also orders Darcy off the ring apron and she finally decides to walk back to the arena floor. While O'Malley and Brandon are trading blows in the ring Darcy and Daniela are exchanging words at ringside. Brandon and O'Malley glance over at the two but they know if they allow themselves to be distracted it might cost them the match. They turn their attention back to each other and continue trading blows with neither backing down.

Simone: Why did Daniela feel she had to run over and get into an argument with Darcy?

Adams: How about because Darcy was trying to interfere in the match by distracting the Referee?

Darcy and Daniela end their argument but before Daniela returns to her corner she gives the hand signal that means she is keeping her eyes on Darcy. Darcy waves her off then takes her seat at ringside. When Daniela arrives at her corner she does the same. O'Malley and Brandon lock up and work for the advantage. When O'Malley manages to pressure Sludge enough to get him to lean backward a bit O'Malley trips Brandon up by wrapping his leg around Brandon's and shoving him backward. Brandon Sludge hits the mat and O'Malley quickly goes for the cover hooking both legs. Referee Jacob Summers gets into position but he doesn't start the count on the attempted pin. When O'Malley doesn't hear a count going he looks at Referee Summers and demands to know why he isn't counting the pinfall. Summers points toward the ropes. When O'Malley looks he sees that when Brandon Sludge went down to the mat he was able to grab the ropes with both hands which is a call for a break by Referee Summers.

Simone: Lucky for Brandon Sludge to land near the ropes so he could grab them and get a break on the pinfall attempt by O'Malley.

Adams: You can't be serious that after a few traded blows and a leg sweep that you felt O'Malley was going to be successful with a pin on Brandon.

Brandon gets to his feet but remains with a leg through the ropes . Referee Jacob Summers reminds O'Malley that while Sludge is in the ropes he needs to remain back. Brandon steps out of the ropes and O'Malley runs at him for a clothesline but Sludge ducks the attempt which causes O'Malley to go over the ropes and land on the ring apron. Brandon steps away from the ropes and we see O'Malley quickly run to the corner and climb the ropes. Once on the top of the corner ropes he dives off the ropes toward Brandon Sludge. Brandon looks up and he is hit by O'Malley and the two crash to the mat where the roll around for a moment before Sludge ends up on top of O'Malley who has his shoulders on the mat.

ONE!

O'Malley gets a shoulder up for a one count. Brandon stands up and backs off a few steps waiting for O'Malley to get to his feet. The moment O'Malley is on his feet Brandon charges him in what appears to be a spear attempt. O'Malley sees Sludge coming and he counters by leaping into the air causing Brandon to miss the spear. When Sludge turns around O'Malley lands a hard kick to the side of the head of Sludge. Brandon goes down to one knee while O'Malley gets ready to go for the finish.

Adams: Some good back and forth in this match. Both are trying to get a win.

Simone: In most matches it comes down to who makes the biggest mistake, or the most mistakes, that their opponent takes advantage of. Currently the two are even but I still believe O'Malley is going to put Brandon away for the win.

As O'Malley reaches to grab onto Brandon he gets hit with a head butt to the midsection by Sludge. Brandon gets to his feet and the two start trading punches and they don't let up when Referee Jacob Summers tells them to break. While Summers is working to get the two to break we again see Darcy and Daniela in an argument at ringside. The two shove and slap and punch each other until Darcy grabs the hair of Daniela and Darcy is working hard to drag Daniela to the arena floor.

Adams: Oh great! Here we go again!

Simone: I didn't see what started this second argument but I'm sure it was Daniela's fault.

As O'Malley and Brandon continue to trade punches Brandon looks over and sees Daniela about to be dragged to the arena floor by her hair. He stops trading blows with O'Malley and runs over to the side of the ring where he yells at Darcy to stop attacking Daniela. With his back turned Brandon made himself vulnerable. O'Malley runs across the ring and lands a knee into the lower back of Sludge. O'Malley lands another knee to the lower back of Brandon. He grabs Sludge around the body, shoves him forward into the ropes, and when the two rebound off the ropes O'Malley executes a suplex on Brandon. Sludge slams hard on his back on the mat and that has to be painful after two knees to the lower back administered by O'Malley.

Adams: Oh no. This doesn't look good for Brandon Sludge.

Simone: Thanks to Daniela for causing a distraction at ringside.

Adams: Daniela did not cause the distraction. She was the one being held by the hair by Darcy who was trying to drag her to the arena floor.

With Brandon on the mat O'Malley folds in the arms and legs of Brandon Sludge, using his Celtic Knot maneuver, simulating tying them in a knot, then rolls Brandon over where Sludge is unable to move. After leaving Brandon in this position for several seconds he stomps on Sludge symbolically undoing the knot. Without hesitation O'Malley leaps onto the back of Brandon and ties him up in his Celtic Crush Reverse Cloverleaf. As O'Malley leans back, applying pressure to the lower back of Brandon, and with no way to break the hold or get to the ropes for a break, Sludge taps out and Referee Jacob Summers calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Jacob Summers orders O'Malley to release the hold and he does. O'Malley walks to the side of the ring to await the official announcement on the match.

Simone: O'Malley with the win! I told you so! Do you believe me now?

Adams: I want to see these two in a re-match where Darcy and Daniela are not allowed at ringside so there will be no distractions. That way the winner of the match will have won without the use of distractions caused by others.

Justin: Here is the winner of this match, by submission, O'Malley!!!

Referee Jacob Summers raises the hand of O'Malley for the victory. He drops the hand of O'Malley and O'Malley slides out of the ring and meets up with Darcy and the two head off toward the backstage area. Back in the ring Brandon Sludge is on his feet and he makes his way out of the ring where he gets together with Daniela and they slowly walk toward the backstage area.




Melissa Aki walks in, wearing a short denim mini skirt, with a pink tank top on. She states at Candy as she ties her hair back.

Maki: Hey Candy. What you up to?

Candy: Fluffy is missing so I am setting up a plate of her favorite food... sandwiches... so that maybe I can lure her out of hiding?

Candy set one more sandwich on top and stood up, proud of her work.

Candy: She will smell that and come running!

Maki: Oh no sweets. Best truck is sausage from my experience. Who doesn't like eating a sausage?

she laughed at her own joke and then saw Candy was deadly serious?

Maki: She loves sandwiches? Look I know we didn't get off on the right foot initially so let's make amends and I help you look for the little runt... Erm doggy!

Candy's eyes lit up.

Candy: Perfect! Here, take this sandwich and give it to her if you see her, she will come running!

She handed a sandwich to Maki

Candy: This isn't like Fluffy... I'm worried about her so much

she took the sandwich and eyed it as if it was some mysterious entity she had never laid her eyes on before.

Maki: This sandwich. Its strange. Why would she like sandwiches? I hate to say it but you know in this industry someone could have stolen her to get to you. Maybe we should retrace her doggy steps?

she smirked to herself as she thought this was so silly but maybe it helped Candy's peace of mind?

Candy: She was in my locker room, I left to go to hair and makeup, and she was gone when I got back... maybe you are right...

Candy's eyes went to that of worry

Candy: Ok change of plans! You watch the plate of sandwiches... I have another place I need to go look!

Candy then rushes off, leaving Maki standing there looking confused. Maki looked at the sandwiches and watched Candy leave. She took a seat and while she was waiting she got hungry so she started eating the whole plate. As she waited longer she decided to eat another and another until they were all gone.

Maki: I sure hope those were vegan. Now I am gonna be so bloated before my match.

She pulled a face and then laughed to herself as we fade




The scene cuts backstage where Myra Rivers walks out of a gym after a quick workout. She removes the headphones she was wearing inside and takes a second to drink some water from a bottle she had with her. Once she finishes, she tosses it in the trash can and tries to give herself as much of a breather as possible. It's business as usual for Myra after her big win, but as much as she wants to take a breather, Holly Wood isn't going to give her one just yet.

Holly Wood: Myra?

Myra takes this in stride, not minding the interruption.

Myra Rivers: Yes?

Holly Wood: I just want to know one thing. How did you do it?

Myra gives her a bit of a confusing look.

Holly Wood: How in the world were you able to beat Alicia Lukas? I guess those that thought your win over Amber Ryan was a fluke were completely silenced.

Myra Rivers: Is this the part where I'm expected to brag about it? Because I'm not doing such a thing. She's a hell of a competitor that is where she's at for a reason and I'm beyond the age where I need to be running up the score on someone. I appreciate the fact that she pushed me and gave me one hell of a challenge and the fact that I was able to overcome that challenge definitely makes it even better. But again, you've got to take things one match at a time no matter who's across the ring from you. You can't allow yourself to relax when you're facing someone along the lines of a Violet Amelia Holt or a Bella Madison and you can't allow yourself to get completely worked up and intimidated when you face the likes of Amber Ryan and Alicia Lukas. I focused on the moment... I didn't focus on the noise. Seventy percent of the battle against someone like Amber or Alicia is psychological. If you have that battle won, it makes things a LOT easier. I put every ounce of faith in my abilities... that's how I did it.

Holly Wood: Speaking of noise, Kate Steele didn't let you celebrate that moment for too long... running her mouth and trying to get a last word in... trying to steal your thunder...

Myra shrugs this off, showing how unbothered she is by this.

Myra Rivers: Kate's always been a cocky one. She's always driven to be the best. She's always driven to be better than someone else no matter who it is. I get that. I was that type of wrestler before. She can talk all she wants to, but at the end of the day? I'm not going to listen. Kate is someone that doesn't know when to dial it down... and I'm not specifically talking about just her mouth either...

Myra is suddenly interrupted by the presence of Andrea Hernandez.

Andrea Hernandez: Trust me... I know a LOT about that as far as Kate's concerned.

Myra Rivers: I'm not worried about it because at the end of the day, I know that whatever she or anyone else has to say doesn't mean a damn thing. I just need to be me and do my very best and everything falls into place.

Andrea Hernandez: Yeah... I get that now. Thank you...

Myra Rivers: For?

Andrea Hernandez: Your win over Alicia really opened my eyes... a lot. You said you were going to go out there and show me how a true champion does it and that's exactly what you did... so thanks. It's a breath of fresh air from being torn apart for the stupidest nonsense week after week from the same people...

Andrea turns and begins to leave.

Myra Rivers: Andrea?

Andrea pauses and comes back toward her.

Myra Rivers: You really want to know how I beat Alicia? You really want to know how I'm going to beat Kate? You really want to know how you're going to get that title back? It's down to one simple thing: focus on what REALLY matters. I'm not focusing on Kate's prior 'golden shovel' talk, I'm not focusing on her words after I beat Alicia last week. I'm focusing on what matters... I'm focusing on beating her in a situation where I've beaten many people many times before. You can definitely beat Evie and Alicia yourself... but only if you stop letting their opinions about you matter... only if you stop focusing on all the stupid shit that's been thrown your way for months... only if you stop focusing on the never ending criticism. You've made it in Sin City Wrestling... don't lose sight of that. Embrace what you are.

Andrea Hernandez: I'm beginning to see that now. It was hard for a while when it feels like you're dealing with all the bullshit all on your own...

Myra Rivers: You're not alone, Andrea. Don't focus on your critics. Focus on you... and what you bring to the table. Focus on those that ARE there for you. You do have friends here... even if it's just me for now... don't be afraid to make friends around here... just some food for thought.

Andrea Hernandez: Thank you... and congratulations again.

Andrea maintains her edge as she turns and leaves the scene.

Holly Wood: Interesting relationship... you and her...

Myra Rivers: I was in her place once... being the constant target of criticism... particularly the one that would just never end. It's harsh, I know that from experience. It really does make you feel so insecure about herself and I know she's going through that phase right now. But I got through it... I was able to be at peace with myself and what I bring to the table. She will too... hopefully at a much younger age then when I figured it out... considering I didn't figure it out until I was between jobs a few months ago...

I'll say this much... in just four matches, I've shown that I can hang with the best women's wrestlers in the world. That's an undisputed fact. Last week was MY never look back, never doubt me again moment in this company... and all I can do from here is go nowhere but up... starting with Summer XXXtreme... when I claim championship #19 and become the Internet champion...

Holly nods before she turns and makes her exit from the scene. She puts her headphones back in her ears and plays some music from her iPhone keeping herself as zen and as focused as possible as the scene cuts out.




Keira is seen getting ready for her match. She sighs a bit as she turns, looking back in the mirror. She then says

Keira: Please stay calm, Ke. I know Crystal will be fighting me. But we don't need her...yet.

All of a sudden, Keira in the mirror begins to move, her eyes turn red and smirks as she says

Sin: Please. You know Crystal won't let you have just a regular match.

As it was Sin, she laughs as she says

Sin: Like you said a long time ago. Only a demon...

We turn to show the real Keira, now showing the red dots like Sin as she says

Keira: ....Can beat a demon....hahahahaha.

The scene fades on that




We get a shot of Bea Barnhart, standing with her husband Bill Barnhart and their English Bulldog Iris, at the staging area where wrestlers make their entrances for their matches. Sin City Wrestling's Interviewer, Scott Oliver, is standing with Bea to get her final comments before her match against Maki starts.

Scott: Well, Bea, you had a lot to say leading up to your match with Maki tonight. How do you feel now that you are moments away from the start of your match?

Bea: I feel more confident than I did when the match was first announced. Maki may have impressed others with her fakeness and painted face but all that stuff did was make me laugh. Too many fake wrestlers in the world and Maki is at the top of the list of the fakes.

Scott: So you're saying that even though Maki caught the attention of Management to place her in the Bombshell Roulette Championship match at Summer XXXTreme VIII you don't see her the way they do?

Bea: Scott I've won three matches and all by submission. I don't get intimidated by opponents who have to hide their face or act like they are super-human or a spiritual being or something like that. Maki is a human, a woman, and she'll be my victim tonight. My win over Maki will prove to everyone, including Management, that to put her, instead of me, in the Bombshell Roulette Championship match at Summer XXXTreme VIII will accomplish nothing but a drop in ratings since I wasn't involved in that match.

Scott: We'll find out shortly.

Bea: You'll find out right now! I'm making my entrance for my match!

Bea moves to the entrance area to be ready for her entrance when her music hits. Bill and Iris remain in the backstage area until Bea's match is done.




Justin gets to his feet and climbs the ringstairs to slide into the ring. He puts the microphone to his lips to make the introductions for the next match.

Justin:The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...

Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.

Justin: From Lawrenceville Georgia, she is Bea Barnhart!

The lights go out, a loud sound like a giant heartbeat sounds every second, the lights flash around the arena, then a red spotlight hits the entrance way as Halestorms's Sick Individual hits. The light hits Maki with her back to the audience. She is on her hands and knees, she slowly crawls her way to the ring.

Adams: Bea looks ready for this match tonight Belinda.

Justin: And her opponent...

Simone: But is she ready for this woman?

Justin: From Brighton England, she is Maki!

She slowly crawls to the ring, with her hair down to her shoulders, her white face paint, with scribbles on her body of 'Help'. She crawls to the ring and slides under the bottom rope and sits in the ring with her head bent back, laughing maniacally, and then flips herself to her feet, her tongue is sticking out as she whispers Korean to herself

Simone: This woman is scary Jason. I don't know if Bea Barnhart is lucky that it is one of the first matches for Maki or unlucky that she is facing the Korean.

Adams: Either way, we are about to find out because there is the bell.

DING DING DING!

Jasmine St John motions for both women to move to the center of the ring where she tells them to keep it clean then signals for the match to start. Bea begins to circle Maki who stands very still watching as the other bombshell lunges towards her in an attempted clothesline that Maki ducks as she runs towards the opposite ropes then comes off with her own clothesline. Barnhart catches the arm across her chest that takes her to the mat. Maki looks down then at the ropes before rushing them again. Bea rolls over and throws herself to the mat in front of Maki making her leap over Bea. Rebounding off the opposite ropes, Maki is taken over by Bea who uses an arm drag. Laying on the mat as Bea hasn't released the arm, Maki fights to her feet and then is grabbed by her hair as Bea pulls her backwards into the corner by her hair and arm. Jasmine is warning Bea who lets go of the hair of Maki before using a knee shot into the midsection that doubles Maki over. Bea backs away holding her arms up as Jasmine checks on Maki. Pushing past St. John, Maki charges towards Bea and uses a clothesline to the back of the head to drop Bea to the mat again. Mounting Barnhart who is on her stomach, Maki uses punches to the back of the head of Bea to punish her. Jasmine warns Maki to open her hands and then tells her to release Bea.

Adams: So far in this match we see that Bea and Maki aren't afraid to mix it up. And that both women aren't afraid of each other.

Maki slowly rises and nods to Jasmine who checks on Bea. Barnhart glares up at Maki as she gets to her feet. The two women begin to circle before locking up in a collar and elbow that Maki turns to a headlock but Bea moves through the hold, reversing it into a hammerlock that she leverages to once more push Maki into the corner. Quickly, Bea pushes away from Maki who charges out of the corner and into a round house kick from Barnhart that sends her crashing to the mat. Before Bea can follow up, Maki rolls to the ropes and reaches up to pull herself to her feet with the middle rope. Bea moves towards her and then grabs her arm to whip her across the ring. Maki rebounds off the ropes into another kick to the head. With Maki on the mat, Bea drops for the first pin of the match. Maki kicks out at one and as Bea argues with Jasmine, Maki rolls to the outside. Bea gets to her feet and then moves towards the ropes after Maki who has started to climb on the apron. Grabbing Maki by the hair, Bea prepares to bring her back into the ring. Maki turns enough to grab the back of Bea's head and then lets herself drop on the outside which hangs Barnhart over the top rope which slingshots the woman into the ring where she lays on the mat clutching at her throat.

Simone: Bea was in control of the match until Maki clotheslined her with the ropes from the outside. What is she going to do now?

Maki crawls into the ring under the bottom rope and stalks towards Bea who is slowly making her way to her hands and knees. Seeing Maki, Bea quickly crawls to the ropes and slides between the top and middle ropes where she tells Jasmine to keep Maki back. Jasmine gets between the two and prevents Maki from taking advantage of Bea who uses the time to recover. Jasmine turns to Bea and tells her to get back into the match. Bea comes back into the ring but Maki charges towards her forcing her to once more use the ropes to prevent Maki grabbing her and slowing the match down once more. Jasmine warns Maki off and then begins her five count on Bea who comes back into the ring then waves Jasmine and Maki back so she can come out of the corner. Maki charges in and is surprised by Bea who moves. Turning, Maki is kicked into the corner. Bea moves in and then catches the head of Maki to send her to the mat with a bulldog. Smirking at the wrestlers surrounding the ring, Bea leans back in a lazy pin that only gets a one count. Maki catches the back of Bea's head with a knee that sends her clutching her head as she kicks at the mat. Maki rolls to her hands and knees before catching Bea and rolling her into a pin that only gets a one count as Bea rolls her shoulder up.

Adams: Both women going to pins in the match Belinda but neither woman wants to be the one pinned.

Simone: I don't think that Bea is taking Maki as seriously as Maki is taking this match. I am sure that she is going to need to after that pin attempt.

Maki makes her way to her feet and then leans back into the corner where she watches as Bea is checked on by Jasmine. Maki moves out of the corner and towards Bea who sees her coming and rolls to the ropes then to the outside. Maki makes her way to the ropes where Bea grabs her feet and tries to pull her down. Maki grabs the ropes and is able to remain vertical as she pulls a leg away and stomps on the hand that still is holding her other leg. Bea pulls that arm against her body in pain as Maki leans through the ropes and catches Bea by the hair to pull her into the ring. Maki has her pulled through the ropes and with Bea's feet still caught on the ropes, Maki hits the Brighton bomb on Barnhart. Bea is laid out on the mat and Maki rolls her over for the pin. Jasmine drops to the mat and sees the foot of Barnhart still under the ropes and tells Maki who is screaming at Jasmine to make the count. Looking at the foot of Bea, Maki pulls the leg into the ring and rolls her up once more but Bea has recovered enough to grab the rope forcing the break. Maki angrily sits back on her heels as Bea pulls herself away by the ropes and then works her way to her feet. Maki gets to her feet once more as Jasmine motions for both women to continue the match.

Simone: Bea Barnhart was very lucky being so close to the ropes Jason otherwise this match might have been over right there.

Maki moves towards Bea who ducks under a clothesline attempt from Maki and catches her with an atomic drop that sends her against the ropes. Bea follows her with a clothesline as Maki rebounds off the ropes. Maki rolls on the mat and then kicks out at the midsection of Bea who is doubled over in pain. Maki gets to her hands and knees leveling Bea with an uppercut that staggers her back. Once Maki is back to her feet, she uses punches and kicks to the corner. Backing away from Bea who is hanging on the ropes, Maki hits a mule kick that she follows up with a spinning heel kick that bounces Bea off the turnbuckles. Maki had made enough space that she uses to finish with a superkick on Bea that bounces her off the turnbuckles and sagging to the mat.

Simone: What a series of kicks to the head of Bea Barnhart. I don't think that she will recover from that too soon.

Maki reaches down and pulls Bea out of the corner. Helping her to her feet, Maki holds up her hands and backs away from Bea who is swaying in the middle of the ring. Maki spins and hits her makihouse kick that drops Bea to the mat where she is laid out and not moving. Maki drops and grabs both legs of Bea and rolls her up for the pin.

ONE!

Adams: I think that she knocked Bea out.

TWO!

Adams: Wait, there is a little movement out of Bea Barnhart.

Simone: Too little too late Jason!

THREE!

Adams: Bea Barnhart has been pinned by Maki!

Jasmine rises and motions for the bell as Justin picks up his microphone.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Maki!

Maki pulls away from Bea who is on the mat. Crawling backwards towards the corner, Maki begins to talk to herself in a mix of English and Korean as Bill Barnhart moves to ringside to help his wife who has rolled to the apron. The Barnharts head to the curtain as Maki is on her feet having her arm raised in victory.

Adams: What a match Belinda. Both these women had advantages in this match but Maki was able to pull out the win.

Simone: I don't know about you Jason but Bea Barnhart learned not to take this Maki lightly and I bet the bombshells watching won't be taking her lightly any more.

Maki rolls out of the ring and pulls herself to her feet in the corner before slowly making her way out of the ringside area.




SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood is standing at the curtains, near the honored title of the 'gorilla position.' He has a clipboard in one hand, and with the other hand, is holding the curtains slightly apart to keep a close watch on the proceedings out in the 'arena' part of the Staggs Dungeon directly.

Christian: Okay...

He hands the clipboard to a young stagehand.

Christian: Take that to Mark and let him know we may need to fill five minutes if this match isn't brought home soon.

Stagehand: Yes sir.

The young man hurries off and Christian turns around to find Christina Rose standing directly behind him, giving him a start.

Christian: Jesus...! What the hell are you doing out!? The sun is up!

Christina is taken back as she runs her hands through her long blue hair.

Christina: Considering I have a huge match tonight I should be out. Were you expecting something different.

She giggles as she looks back to him.

Christina: Anyway just like it stated on the card you wanted to speak to me about Vixen obviously shutting me down and it's in regards to this.

Christina sighs holding what looks to be a title opportunity contract as she looks back at the boss. Christian looks from the contract and back to Christina with a smile on his face.

Christian: Mm hm. And I hope you're not going to attempt to power play me, Christina. Because the world saw you come out here and in front of everyone, say that you were using your 'opportunity' to instead challenge Vixen to a match, rather than use it for its intended purpose for a SCW title match.

He shakes his head.

Christian: I still can't believe you did that, and I warned you that you got no Plan B in case Vixen turned you down.

Christina nods her head as she looks at Christian.

Christina: I know and despite the warnings I still did it anyway. To be honest all I wanted to do was face one of the best that SCW had to offer at the biggest show of the year. It wasn't about her championship, it wasn't about anything besides the spirit of competition and it's a plan that quickly died out. I know there won't be a second chance to chase after whatever title I see fit but let me explain something.

Christina takes a deep breath as she continues to speak.

Christina: This past week I have received some amazing news from my biggest fan. A little girl named Aurora who has just overcome Leukemia and kicked its butt right into remission. Seeing her fight off cancer made me come to the conclusion that life isn't easy. You have to fight for the things you really want in this world. I know a few weeks ago I got a little carried away with the way I booked stuff but through it all I am a fighter Christian. I always fight for what I earn. It was my talents that got me into the Hall of Fame. You always told me that and it will be my talent that will bring me to whatever happens next. It's all at you and Mark's discretion but I am still willing to work my way up because at the end of the day that's the way things should be handled right?!

Christian stares at her for a moment before he shakes his head.

Christian: Wow! It's like the time I used Red Bull instead of water to make my coffee...

He rubs his temples and sighs.

Christian: Look, I'll admit that I would have liked to have seen you up against Vixen, but considering she's a champion in SCU, that just wasn't going to happen. But.... our biggest show of the year isn't Into the Void. It's High Stakes. That's 'our' Grand Prix, remember? So...

He shrugs.

Christian: Maybe there's still time. I'll see if Mark or I can talk to the heads of SCU about arranging a cross-promotional match. Either on their pre-show or on the main show. Either or.

Christina: Whatever you guys arrange I am all for it. I will be honest. I know it isn't easy being able to deal with me in your company. When you have a talent such as Crystal Hilton whether you wish to call me Christina, Crystal or insert so many names. It's always a roller coaster ride but let me explain something. Through everything whether it's being a masked beauty, or annoying you as Mark's personal assistant to even fighting with my wife just to steal a title shot which I regret I ever did that. I love SCW. I love this company and I would do anything for it. I know that I got Vargas coming up and that's going to be a great match regardless of the result. As far as a title match goes. It's in you and Mark's hands. Whenever you both see that I earned one I know I will get one but I am tired of it all.

Christina begins to share her heart.

Christina: I am tired of the narrative that Christina NEEDS to be in the title hunt. Tired that she had to WEASEL her way into a shot meanwhile the four times I won the title I earned those moments. I may be a lot of things and yeah that whole fiasco with the tag team match I booked to control our destiny may have been ridiculous. I could have just given my shot right then and there but deep down I always wanted to earn it. Look at it now. Andrea and Alicia despite losing are getting what they wanted anyway. Everyone is happy and I am very happy. Whatever happens I am ready for the deck that is dealt to me. It's all part of rolling in Sin City right?!

Christina giggles as she looks back at Christian. Christian bites his lower lip and nods.

Christian: It is, I'll grant you that. Now if you don't mind? I'm busy and you have a match to get ready for.

He turns back to the curtains and shakes his head.

Christian: Why couldn't it have been MY week to hide in the office? Why?

Christina however walks over to Christian and gives him a big hug as she looks up into his eyes.

Christina: Thank you for everything... I truly mean that.

She smiles as she walks away getting ready for her match. Christian closes his eyes and visibly shudders.




Scene opens with Mercedes backstage watching the show before she intuitively turns towards the camera. The Grand Slam Champion and SCW Hall of Famer offers a bemused smile.

Mercedes: It's no secret that I've had a rough year and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. But you know something, I still have a twinkle in my eye and a pep in my step. I have bad moments but I don't have bad nights. Two weeks ago didn't turn out so bad. Okay, sure I lost my tag match with Jessie against Keira and Candy, but at least I wasn't pinned like Keira though I would be and Ben Jordan put Jack Washington to sleep.

Mercedes makes a sleeping gesture.

Mercedes: By the time Jack woke up, Ben was holding the World Heavyweight Champion and Jack was a footnote in his reign. Serves him right for disrespecting me by placing me in the opening match that night. I'm an SCW Hall of Famer! The most accomplished wrestler in SCW history!

Mercedes throws up her hands in reservation.

Mercedes: Look, I'm over it. Thankfully this entire cycle had to be the worse yet. This didn't start with Jack, this started with Christina Rose. Yes, the same Christina playing the victim card because I attacked her. Yeah, OK. She has an issue with that, but nobody had a problem when she attacked Diamond of The Fallen just to get herself into a Bombshell Internet Championship match with her at Full Circle. She basically sent Amber Ryan to take me out because of some things I said, but said worse things about Despayre, Melody, and Cat Riley in the past. It's the same game, buys different set of rules for Christina!

Mercedes throws up her hands in reservation.

Mercedes: In two weeks, it's me and you, Christina. And the rules are the same for both of us: two-out-of-three falls. As much as I would love to beat you in two straight falls, I know it won't happen because you're too good for that. What will happen is that you're going down either way. Pinfall, submission, countout. I'm not picky. You want to say that I don't have it in me. Challenge accepted. You're going to find out just how wrong you really are. You have Keira tonight. Win or lose, I couldn't care less. Social distancing isn't going to save you from the asskicking waiting for you on that cruise ship. I don't start wars, sweetheart, I finish them.

Mercedes smiles, running her fingers through her hair.

Mercedes: This match has been almost four years in the making and Summer XXXtreme can't come soon enough because now, Christina, and contrary to what you or anyone else thinks this isn't about proving anything to anyone - especially you - oh no, this is me getting the chance to take out 11 years of frustrating out on you. This is one match you won't survive. Trust me.




We are backstage in the Team Hero locker room and Roxi is getting ready for her match, doing some last minute stretching. There is then a knock at the door, and Roxi groans, standing up before opening the door, where sure enough, Amber Ryan is standing there, arms folded across her chest as she remove hair from her face, which has a small knowing smile.

Roxi: Can I help you?

Amber: I just wanted to make sure you were ready.

Roxi: Yeah. I'm ready. Is that all?

Amber: Can you at least pretend to be cordial right now? We're supposed to be a team.

Roxi: Yeah, and from bell to bell, we will be. Outside of that, I'm not taking any chances.

Amber: Have I not come through since I've been here? I did exactly what you asked last week. You wanted a match, I provided. I would think that at least for two seconds, you could treat me like a normal person.

Roxi: You're not a normal person.

Amber: I think they call that... pot and kettle, Mrs. Johnson.

Roxi: Funny.

Roxi sighs, lowering her head, and biting her lip back for a moment.

Roxi: Okay. Fine. It... it's going to be interesting to team with you.

Amber arches an eyebrow.

Amber: I think that may have been a compliment. Am I finally getting through to you?

Roxi: Don't push it. I'm still having the idea that it's going to be 3 on 1 out there.

Amber shrugs her shoulders, almost not believing Roxi thinks this way.

Amber: What more can I do, Roxi? Seriously? If it was going to be 3 on 1, why would I have helped you a few weeks ago? All I have done since I've been here, is have your back. Nothing more, nothing less. I've not attacked you, or set you up to get hurt in anyway. I've been 100% straight up with you. This is just as important to me, as it is to you. I'm teaming with you. I said it was something of a dream team, and I meant it. Why would I ruin it by double-crossing you?

Roxi: ...

Amber: I'm taking this seriously. I'm going out there to win. You can either have my back, or watch me win and make me drag you along. The choice is yours.

Roxi: I told you, I'm a professional. You tag me, I'll tag you.

Amber finally releases a deep sigh.

Amber: Partners, then.

Roxi: N... For tonight, yes.

Amber: Good. I think I'm finally going to open your eyes tonight.

Roxi: I doubt that, but stranger things have happened.

Amber: Well then... see you out there... Partner.

Amber extends a hand for Roxi to shake it. Roxi looks down at Amber's hand, and Roxi again hesitates.

Roxi: That will come later. Maybe. I'll see you out there.

Roxi backs up and closes the door. Amber's smirks again and gives a nod of approval as she walks away and we go elsewhere.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see tonight's challenger for the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship Jessie Salco warming up for her title match against Seleana Zdunich later when she is approached by Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Jessie, can I get some thoughts heading into your title match against Seleana later?

Jessie: This year can go to hell, concerts should've started back up by now, the current president won't be missed when he is voted out, oh, you meant about the match?

Rocky nods and Jessie scoffs.

Jessie: Seleana's reign as Bombshell Roulette Champion won't survive the night, it's been proven that she can't win a title on her own and that she can't hold onto a title for long either and tonight I'll win the Bombshell Roulette Championship for the third time!

Rocky walks off as the scene fades.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one....

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. 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 smirks and poses.

she flips her long hair before making her way down to the ring but instead of climbing into the ring, she walks around and joins Simone and Adams at the commentary table.

Mercedes: Hola Belinda. Hola Jason

Adams: What do we owe this pleasure?

Mercedes: Just wanted a front row view of this match.

Simone: Well ok them...

Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first... Christina Rose...

Meganerd by YTcracker begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Rose makes her way from the back curtain. Christina smiles as she blows kisses before making her way down to the ring. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to someone at ringside as she waits for her opponent...

Justin: And her opponent...hailing from Miami, Florida... Keira Fisher-Johnson...

"Like a Phoenix" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage is seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the ring. she slides into the ring. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she waits for the match to begin...

The ref moves in and check both women for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

Mercedes: You know, I don't see how anyone would want to be friends with Crystal or Keira knowing the kind of people they are. How did they end up being friends anyway? Look at this! See how they're all smiley and stuff? Ugh! This is the wrestling business, not the wrestling friendness.

Rose & Fisher stare at each other for a moment and give each other a nod of respect before circling the ring, as they both move in and lock up, where they jockey for position until Fisher gets the upper hand briefly but Rose quickly counters and drags Fisher into the corner, where she gives Fisher a hard shove in the shoulder before smirking and walking backwards and shrugging. Fisher steps out from the corner and takes a wild swing at Rose but Rose ducks and grabs Fisher's legs dragging her down to the mat and rolls her up...

Adams: Maybe all smiling and stuff at first... but that can quickly change, and the spirit of competition and rivalry will set in.

ONE!

Kickout!

Simone: which we have just seen as Rose gives Fisher a hard shove in the chest and Fisher swinging wildly. And Rose gets a one count for that quick roll up.

Mercedes: If you think I haven't forgotten that Keira got lucky the three times I faced her this year, I haven't. Just in case you're wondering.

Simone: You may call it lucky.

Fisher kicks out but she and Rose are quickly back to their feet, but its Fisher who pounces first and grabs Rose and locks in a headlock, where she cranks on Roses head a few times.  Rose, however, fight back and throws a punch to Fisher's side, which forces Fisher to release and Rose pushers Fisher away towards the ropes who bounces off them and shoulder blocks Rose to the mat. Fisher smirks before turning and bounces off the ropes, however, Rose is briefly to her feet before dropping down to the mat as Fisher leaps and then forwards rolls over Rose before getting to her feet.  Rose is up to her feet, as she rushes at Fisher, who sidesteps her and diverts her towards the ropes who bounces off the ropes, which Fisher hits an arm drag but somehow Rose counters into an armbar.

Adams: Keira gets the upper hand following the quick attempted pin.

Simone: But Crystal... er sorry... Christina... somehow counters the arm drag and locks in an armbar.

Mercedes: Crystal Hilton...Crystal Williams....Christina Rose...Christina Zdunich or is it Millar...Lopez? La Paloma? You got Keira and her Sin alter ego? How many personas do they have?

Simone: I've lost count at this point.

Mercedes: I don't like any of them.

Rose grins as Fisher holds her shoulder and Roses hand as her mind thinks over a way to escape, as she flays her legs, which doesn't do anything and instead Fisher begins to slowly sit up as Rose tries to keep the arm bar in place with little success as Fisher climbs to her feet as Rose directs Fisher to the corner before releasing her hold and then unleashes some forearm shots to Fisher's chest as the ref yells at Rose bring the action away from the corner but she ignores it and she climbs onto the first rope and boots Fisher in the chest a couple of times before pushing her boot up against Fisher neck as the ref continues to yell at Rose before getting to a two count and Rose removes her boot and climbs off the ropes.

Mercedes: Maybe those three weeks off did Crystal some good because she's in the zone right now. She's going to need to be if she don't want end up embarrassed at Summer XXXtreme four years in a row. Spoiler alert, it's going to happen.

Adams: Certainly she is... but at the same time she flirting with getting disqualified from this match.

Simone: She might be showing what Mercedes is in for in their next encounter.

Fisher slumps down in the corner a little as Rose back away from Fisher as Fisher checks for blood etc... but finds nothing. Rose turns backwards Fisher and as she rushes in but Fisher is ready and she lifts Rose up and over the top rope but Rose lands on the apron. Fisher takes a wild swing but Rose blocks in and grabs Fisher and drives her face into the top turnbuckle.  Rose goes to follow up with a shoulder to Fisher's torso but Fisher dodges and kicks Rose in the chest.

Mercedes: I'm surprised neither Roxi or Seleana are out here. Moral support and all that. I'm not sure who needs it more.

Simone: Both do, but this second its Rose who is on the ropes and struggling as Fisher is now in charge of this match as she delivers a kick to Rose's chest.

Rose leans on the ropes as Fisher turns her back and hits a mule kick, which Rose drops to her knees holding onto the ropes.  Fisher takes a few steps forward before turning and rushing at Rose, where she catches Rose with a hip attack sending Rose off the apron and onto the mat below. Rose lands on the mat holding her face and a little shocked.  Fisher smirks as the ref begins their count.

Adams: Rose is in very a dangerous position here and can't do anything from it.

Simone: And Fisher proves that... as she hits a mule kick before following up with a hip attack, which sends Rose flying.

Mercedes:Can't imagine Chrissy wanting to head into our match with a loss. Maybe those three weeks off made her just a bit rusty.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Mercedes: Ha sido una partida intensa está noche. El suspenso es terrible... Espero que dure. (It's been an intense match tonight. The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.)

Rose continues to lay on the floor, while Fisher paces the ring waiting for either the count out of for Rose to return to the ring.

Simone: The ref up to four with Rose still not moving.

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Mercedes:Veamos qué va a hacer. (Let's see what she's going to do.)

Rose begins to roll herself towards the ring...

SEVEN!

Rose gets to her knees, as Fisher watches Rose with caution.

EIGHT!

Adams: Unbelievable... she manages to get back into the ring, as the ref gets to eight.

Rose is to her feet and throws herself into the ring, but Fisher is back on her and sits her up and grabs a handful of hair and delivers a kick to the spine.  Rose cries out in pain, but Fisher grabs her once more and delivers another kick to the spine, again Rose cries out and tries escape Fisher and moves to the corner, but Fisher approaches once more and this time grabs Rose's face and says a few choice words as Rose gives Fisher a shove but Fisher responds by pushing her boot up against Rose's neck/throat and chokes her.

Simone: Rose is back in the ring but Fisher is back on and delivers couple of vicious kicks to the spin, as Rose tries scramble away from any further shots.

Adams: Fisher I think is trying to make a point here.

The ref quickly moves in and counts and gets to the three and Fisher releases and moves away as Rose grimaces in pain as she holds her neck as she tries to get to her feet, but Fisher is back on her and delivers a vicious kick to the leg, which Rose forces herself to her feet.  Fisher grabs Rose and drags her away from the ropes, before continuing that momentum and Rose comes off the ropes with Fisher hitting a drop toe hold sending Rose down to the mat.

Adams: Nice drop toe hold.

Fisher rises to her feet and approaches Rose, where she turns her over onto her back, where she grabs Roses legs and begins to tie up and then lock in a sharpshooter. Rose screams out in pain, as she doesn't fight at first as she scratches and claws at the mat, as she lifts herself up and drags herself and Fisher towards the ropes and she grabs manages to get her fingertips to them before giving one last bit of pushes she grabs the ropes.

Simone: Which sets up Fisher to lock in the Sharpshooter.

Adams: Rose doesn't fight at first... but eventually does and reaches the ropes and forces Fisher to let go.

The ref moves in and informs Fisher that Rose has got to the ropes and Fisher reluctantly releases and moves away from Rose.  Rose keeps a hold of the ropes to avoid further attacks from Fisher, as Fisher moves in but the ref keeps her back.  Using the ropes Rose pulls herself up to her knees as she stretches a little feeling the effects of the sharpshooter.  Climbing to her feet, she lets go of the ropes and Fisher rushes in but only to be met by a high elbow from Rose.

Adams: Somehow Rose battle back to her feet... as Fisher rushes in to capitalise on it but is met with a high elbow stopping her dead.

Fisher stumbles backwards but quickly shakes it off and goes back in for another attempt but again Rose gets an elbow up and Fisher takes a few steps backwards as Rose turns and leaps on the ropes and hits a springboard enziguri sending Fisher down to the mat.  Rose crawls to Fisher and makes a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Simone: Fisher rushes in again but again gets hit with a high elbow, as Rose then takes advantage of things and hits a springboard enziguri, unfortunately she only gets a two count for her troubles.

Rose shakes her head, as she makes her way to her feet and grabs Fisher by the hair pulling her up, where she drags her into a corner, where she unleashes some quickfire jabs to Fisher's torso before following up with a boot to the stomach.  Fisher bends over, which Rose grabs Fisher by the hair and sends her across the ring.  The ref admonishes Rose, but she ignores it and moves near to Fisher, where she leaps onto the ropes and tries for a springboard moonsault but Fisher gets her knees up and Rose lands on them before following away holding her body and gasping for air.

Adams: Rose is slowly getting back into this match... as she slowly builds up the pace and attack.

Simone: Unfortunately, Rose is stopped as Fisher gets her knees up forcing the air from Rose's lungs.

The ref check on Fisher and then Rose before beginning their count...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Fisher rolls herself towards the ropes, while Rose sucks in as much air as possible as she gets to her hands and knees and crawls to the corner.

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Simone: Rose and Fisher are getting it fine getting to their feet here.

Fisher grabs the ropes and pulls herself up to a knee, while Rose gets into a seated position.

SEVEN!

Fisher rises to her feet and moves towards Rose, where she grabs her and pulls her to her feet.  Fisher then whips Rose into ropes and as Rose comes back, Fisher takes a wild swing but Rose ducks and she turns, as Fisher goes for a surprise chick kick but Rose ducks and as Fisher goes to steady herself, Rose catches Fisher with a chick kick of her own sending Fisher down to the mat.

Adams: Fisher is to her feet and stumbles over to Rose and pulls her up. Breaking that count. Fisher tries to continue with the little momentum that she has but Rose puts a stop to it and Fisher tries for a chick kick but Rose ducks and hits one of her own.

Mercedes: Viste eso? Vaya! (Did you see that? Wow!)

Rose quickly turns and hits a springboard legdrop across Fisher's throat, as Rose is quickly back to her feet and climbs the ropes to the top, where she leaps off and hit The Mega Buster onto Fisher before hooking a leg.

Simone: Rose goes up and comes back down with The Mega Buster.

Mercedes: Thanks for coming, Keira.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Adams: Rose picks up the win.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match via pinfall... Christina Rose.

Rose's music this over the p.a as she slowly climbs to her feet, as the ref takes her hands and raises it above her head, as she turns and celebrates in front of Mercedes.

Mercedes: Imagine Keira losing to Christina again. Keira wanted a fight, she just got one. Sucks to be her right now. Making my predictions now, you guys. Her title drought continues after Summer XXXtreme because she's not walking out Bombshell Roulette Champion. Change my mind.

Simone: That is a strong prediction but anything can happen.

Mercedes: I'm glad Crystal won, I almost lost faith in her. Enjoy the win tonight, sweetheart, because in two weeks I'm going to join the club of who beat Crystal at Summer XXXtreme.

Adams: Well good luck at Summer XXXtreme and can't wait to see that match.




Simone: Well that was an interesting match, now it is time for the next.....

Epic by Metalachi hits as the arrival of Senor Vinnie is announced, causing the face of Belinda Simone to change from a happy one to an annoyed one

Simone: Him again???

Adams: I have a feeling you still don't like the man.

Simone: Like?? His words from last week still buzz in my head!!!

Vinnie is wearing a captain's hat and a captains jacket over his normal attire, he waves at the other wrestler who do not react to him. He steps in the ring and has a discussion with himself before asking Justin for the microphone.

Senor Vinnie: Is this on???

Justin can be seen saying that everyone heard Vinnie

Senor Vinnie: Gracias Justin, now I know that last week I got off the wrong foot

Simone: No kidding Sherlock

Senor Vinnie: And I want to personally apologise to the Internet Champion for the apparent words that I had said... I...

He snaps his head backwards and we can see Vinnie have a discussion with his shoulders as his face can be seen snapping from left to right.

Adams: Is Vinnie having a discussion with his angel and devil on his shoulder????

Simone: You can't possibly tell me that you believe that nonsense???

Senor Vinnie: Perdoname. I actually wanted to say that I was not going to apologise what WE said. You see Austin, I know you and Vinnie 1.0 have a long history with each other. Heck you were his losing effort as a wedding gift to his lovely wife, I could tell that to this very day you still hold a grudge over that isn't it champ//?

Vinnie snaps his head back and forth between his shoulders once more, having a discussion that seems to get very heated.

Senor Vinnie: Again apologies Austin for the remarks that I have no control over amigo. I have the utmost respe....

Vinnie slaps himself across the face

Senor Vinnie: RESPECT?? OH sure!! You may have the utmost respect Vinnie 1.0!!! But this is OUR night!! The night that HIS biggest nightmare will come true on a boat nonetheless!! But don't worry Austin, it will not be all a nightmare for you. I mean, you have the right to walk in a champion on a huge cruise ship. Have the momentum on your side as being a successful champion, defending against all comers!!!

His head snaps back again and a sinister smile emerges

Senor Vinnie: I agree with you on that one Vinnie....

The head snaps forth once more.

Senor Vinnie: WE AGREE ON NOTHING!! And it's Senor Vinnie 2.0 for YOU and everyone else out here!!! But for you Austin, on the beginning I shall be Captain Stubing!! Wishing you a well voyage on the cruise ship that shall set sails for a destiny unknown. And then when the night comes to defend not only your championship, but your honour as well against a man that YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW!!! You will have to defend it against the man that YOU have awoken on December of last year.... Such a welcoming moment for the man to come face to face with the NEW SCW Internet champion.... And that is US of course... Senor .... Vinnie.... 2.... 0......

With that Vinnie drops the microphone, continues the discussion between each other before walking off.

Adams: Vinnie 2.0???

Simone: Good Grief, I need a shrink on that cruise ship!!!




The cameras cut to the back where Candy was still searching the back for Fluffy. She was checking in a janitors closet when she heard a voice from behind her.

Keira: Hey, Candy, I found this earlier and wanted to return it to you.

Candy turned to see her dear friend, Keira Johnson, standing there. In her hand was Fluffy's bright pink, glittery collar. Candy almost went breathless when she saw it.

Candy: Where... where did you find this?

Keira: It was out in the parking lot, I figured it must have slipped off when you guys got here.

Candy took the collar from her and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Candy: Fluffy is missing and I can't find her!

Keira: Oh no! How long?

Candy: Since the show started. She was in my locker room, I went to hair and makeup, Marcus was in the shower, and she went missing. I thought maybe she was just hungry... but she would never leave behind her collar! Some one must have taken her!!!

Keira: Who would do such a thing to such a sweet animal?

Candy: I can only think of one person mean enough! Thank you, Keira, I know just where to look now!

She hugged Keira and ran off down the hall as the cameras cut.




Backstage we are in the locker room of the Zduniches. However Christina isn't there yet. Entering into their locker room is none other than Diamond who has the SCW Internet Championship draped across a shoulder. She smiles as she is clad in a Wild Side t shirt and her cousin Prudence Steele better known to the world as Ruby Gemstone is clad in a t shirt that read's "Pickup Trucks Don't Give A Fuck" Halo Annis SCU t shirt. Diamond smiles as she looks at the co owner of the record company and movie studio she is signed to in Seleana's Rose Records/Movie Studio.

Diamond: Hey Seleana are you ready for tonight's match?! You should feel proud to be the Roulette Champion. At one point your wife held that title but lost it to Keira Johnson and of course I held it as well actually shattering the longest record until Veronica Taylor had to throw chloroform in my face to win the title. Tonight is all about getting past the first defense are you excited?!

Ruby: Tonight Seleana should channel her daughter-in-law and drive that son of a bitch like a pickup truck and not give a fuck or she can tell everyone who feels she is a weak champion it's a bunch of bollocks and poppy cock, and show people they shouldn't write her off. The critics saying Seleana isn't good is completely

Kate and Prudence stare at one another as they giggle in return.

Gemstones: OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seleana simply stares back.

Seleana: Excited is not the right word. I am keen for this fight but more than that, I need this fight. Jessie needs it too, whether she wanted to admit it or not. I'm keen to go out there and have the kind of bloody nasty kind of fight that you'd normally only see if two drunken prats when at it in a pub because they both mistook a hairbrush for a hedgehog and started screaming, "Oi, come at me ye jabby wee cunt!" and then mistakenly thought the other geezer was babbling at him. I need this fight to be as nasty, brutal and bloody as we can get. I need Jessie Salco to come at me the way Christian wanted Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden to. I need this to make the fight resemble something you could set to Slayer's "Raining Blood" and not be accused of either hyperbole or false advertising!

Diamond smiles as she holds her championship and gently smashes it against Seleana's Roulette Championship.

Diamond: And I am fully confident you will have no issue beating Jessie. This is your chance to showcase you deserve to be in this spot. That you worked your bloody arse to be in this moment and you won't let anybody take it away from you. I don't understand what Jessie says sometimes. She talks up your wife helping you win but I don't remember her interfering in your match if anything the only thing your wife did was give her the same chance she gave you. I hate fucking hypocrites all of those claims will always be.

Ruby: OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

Diamond: My thoughts exactly. It's like Andrea Hernandez telling me during the Blast From The Past that I don't know what it means to have a long championship reign but clearly she didn't pay attention to my Roulette title reign and long behold here we are months later and look at what's around my shoulder still. The championship she said I got lucky to win and in two weeks time I am absolutely going to hurt her little friend Myra in the ring. I might break an arm or choke her out, but I won't let words destroy me. It gets sickening seeing people bully those in order to get somewhere.

Ruby: Lord knows people always tried to pull that stuff with you and your wife. Granted your wife does get emotional and lets it bother her in ways that it shouldn't. Don't get hurt over the comments just step up and make them shut their arses up yeah?!

Seleana shrugs.

Seleana: First things first, ja? Jessie Salco needs to be shown she can't just slide in on a shrimp sandwich. I will make her take water over her head and then I will start to smack her around with this hand.

She shows her open right hand.

Seleana: Then, just as this hand starts to hurt, I will smack her more for making this hand hurt.

Ruby: OWWWW that sounds like it will hurt.

Diamond: That right hand is deadly. She laid Christian out with it and my husband well... He still is haunted by it.

A moment later and the door opens to the locker room and we can see Christina Zdunich entering into the room. She runs her hands through her hair as she smirks.

Christina: Tonight has been a weird night so far. I had no idea that I would have it in me to beat Keira, and of course my interaction with Christian earlier. I can't believe he actually wanted to see a title match between Vixen and I. I don't know where that hug came from but I actually don't hate Christian like I thought I did. He is actually a decent guy. I think we just usually had a difference of opinions.

Diamond: Good and at least you aren't that upset over the golden contract being void.

Christina: Not really a little girl who beat Leukemia told me I never needed it to begin with. I have always fought for everything I earned and I will get to the top once again. It's only a matter of time. Besides it's actually a good thing that the contract is void because well...

Christina eyes Diamond's Internet Championship with a grin.

Christina: I would have chased after the title that I never lost when it was merged with the World Championship when I beat Mikah but oh well.

She giggles as she looks at Seleana.

Christina: More importantly I have been standing outside the locker room for a bit and I must say it's very attractive hearing how my wife has been talking lately. This level of confidence, this firm attitude it's really attractive.

Christina smiles running her hands through Seleana's hair.

Diamond: Ewww get a room you two...

Ruby: That comment is OUTRAGEOUS they are married silly... I bet they don't make noise like me and Chip Zanuff from Deviltion.

Diamond: Ewww I don't need to hear that!!

Seleana: We got complaints the first week of the hotel here. They did appreciate my wife's singing voice suddenly calling out to God the way it did. But that is for later, tonight Jessie calls down the thunder and I must make Thor answer her properly.

Christina: Just be careful I won't be out there tonight but again you don't need me because you are your own woman babe. Salco can be dangerous when pushed. She did beat me fair and square in a Chamber of Extreme match a year ago. Also Keira is at ringside and considering I beat her tonight she will be dangerous too, and I don't like this Maki woman constantly calling you her Swedish House Mafia.... I believe in you though. I always did... I just will be taking it easy considering I got Vargas in two weeks and I plan to outclass her twice in one night to prove I am better than her.

Diamond: You got this Seleana. I will be watching from afar. I got Myra on the mind but I will save my opinions for her and two weeks and of course my husband Teddy...

Ruby smiles as she pulls something out of her pocket. It's a popsicle stick with Teddy's face on it.

Popsicle Stick Teddy: Haiiiii my name is Teddy Warren. Stay at home daddy by trade and I would have been in the arena tonight to sell this upcoming match with Caleb Storm but let's face it. I heard the conversation about hotel screamers earlier and I have the most high pitched screaming voice in the hotel.

Diamond: ... Popsicle sweetie... Let's not forget we do have the Jordans there as well... You haven't heard Evie in her best or should I say worst moments... Still nothing compared to at one point when they were on the roster being in the hotel room next to my best friend Melody and her man J2H... I hear J2H can be a screamer.

Popsicle Stick Teddy: Right... I would have totes been at the arena but there is a chance J2H could have showed up and I rather not ruin my new trousers plus it's daddy and daughter baking cupcake time for my cupcake... OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!

Ruby: Thanks Teddy!!!!

Diamond does a crazy finger motion as she looks at the Zdunichs.

Diamond: Don't mind Ruby she gets a little crazy at times... Anyway best of luck tonight. We need to showcase that Rose Productions is better than everyone else. Let's take things one match at a time and build some great momentum going into the Super Card.

Seleana shrugs.

Seleana: Maki started the Swedish House Mafia thing with Zenna, Linnéa, Alissa and Kelly because Li and Lis are both half Swedish as well. She will be fine. Now, we go make mark, ja?




We cut to the lockerroom area where Alicia Lukas is seen adjusting a referee shirt and keeping her hair tied back. The sound of clicking heels breaks Alicia's attention for a moment, before she looks up and smirks at the woman walking up towards her. The current World Bombshell Champion, Evie Jordan walks towards her, a sadistic smile on her face.

Evie: My, my... if it isn't the luckiest cat in town.

Evie stopped just a few steps away from Alicia, adjusting the Bombshell Championship that was draped over her right shoulder.

Evie: Thrown into the mix at Summer XXXtreme and now gift wrapped the referee power for Climax Control. It must feel nice knowing you hold all power... tonight.

Her voice trailed off but her glare remained on Alicia Lukas who was entertaining Evie.

Adams: These two bombshell's have a strange respect for one another but one has to ask will that all go out the window tonight?

Alicia shook her head and folded her arms over her chest.

Alicia: Lucky? Gift wrapped? Listen to you being all high and mighty. I was for sure lucky when I had to defend the Bombshells title in that cage.

She paused for a moment and sneered

Alicia: Even luckier when Bobbie attacked me and put me in the shelf for five months. And all that rehab and the return and..the win over you that was sure gift wrapped right?....is there a reason you're here Evie?

Evie smiled brightly as she took a step up towards Alicia.

Evie: Oh come on, don't tell me the big bad lockdown stole your sense of humour as well? There is only so much space left in SCW for whiny little bitches.

Smirking this time, Evie adjusted her title once more before speaking to Alicia.

Evie: I was just doing the rounds, you know... checking in on all the bombshell's making sure the locker room is all at peace, you know that daunting leadership red tape that comes with holding this.

She drummed her nails on her title, that causes Alicia to roll her eyes. Evie looked Alicia up and down, judgement evident.

Evie: I'm glad to see you're taking tonight seriously.

She's not the only one.

The familiar voice of Andrea Hernandez echos through the halls for a second before the woman herself appears. Her eyes are narrowed with anger as she's definitely in a no-nonsense mood.

Andrea There you are again Evie... being tunnel visioned as always. Putting all the blame on others with your fucking ego and never accepting responsibility for anything. Not seeing the forest for the trees. You don't even see the real reason why this a triple threat match at Summer XXXtreme. Look in the mirror, bitch. That's your own fault. I'm not the one that lost to Alicia right before Into the Void, that was you. For one second did you even THINK about THAT being the reason why it's a triple threat and not one on one between the two of us? No... because you're SO stuck in your pathetic tunnel vision... your little "Life According to Evie" mindset... that you have to try to manipulate and twist everything into your favor because you're not woman or champion enough to accept responsibility for anything. The more I learn about you, the more I don't like you... and the more I learn about how I'm going to shut YOU up...

Andrea maintains her angry glare, though she lightens it up a little bit when she turns in Alicia's direction.

Andrea You and I... we haven't always gotten on. I trust you. I know you'll call it right down the middle. You don't bullshit. You call it like you see it. I may not have always liked that about you, but I can respect it because at least you're real. At least you're not walking around in your high and mighty fantasy world like THIS ONE...

Andrea does a quick side eye in Evie's direction.

Andrea ...loves to live in. You earned your shot when you beat Evie a while back. No luck there... I know you realize I'm not the same person that walked in last year not knowing how to win when it matters... but you know me... I don't bullshit either...

Alicia: Look!

She interjects with sneer.

Alicia: I will call this right down the middle from Bell to Bell. We will sort out the title at Summer XXXtreme!...now excuse me...

She pushes away from them both with a grunt. Evie watches Alicia walk away before she turns back to glare at Andrea.




Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control, Amber Ryan and Roxi Johnson will face off in singles competition at Summer XXXTReme in three weeks' time but tonight they must cooperate as coming up next, they team up to take on The Metal Maniacs!

Adams: The Maniacs don't have the best win/loss record but that has never stopped them from wreaking havoc, if Amber and Roxi can't get along then it could spell disaster for them!

Simone: And Mark's plans for Summer XXXTreme, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following is a tag team contest, scheduled for one fall!

Hollywood Undead's "Day of The Dead" begins to play and the crowd hushes as they turn their attention towards the stage. The curtains fly open and the first to appear is Doctor Kraven Moorehead, escorting none other than Anthrax who is riding -- a child's tricycle!? And HE is pulling behind him, riding in a little red wagon, the violently psychotic tandem of the Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister, known collectively as Heavy Metal Mania.

Justin: Introducing from the Asylum! Accompanied by Doctor Kraven Moorehead and Anthrax, at a combined weight of two hundred and eighty one pounds, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden -- Heavy Metal Mania!

The fans stare with wide eyed awe at these lunatics as they arrive at ringside. The two women shriek at the top of their lungs and laugh as they are herded by the 'good doctor' from their ride and towards the ring. The women screech and lunge at the fans, causing the crowd to jump back, before the finally roll into the ring. Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden run around the ring, hitting the ropes and the corner, screaming and laughing until the Doctor escorts them to the corner and Anthrax flops onto his chest and stomach, chin on his curled fingers while he kicks his legs idly and watches for the opposition.

Simone: Those two maniacs would be intimidating competition for anyone on the roster, let alone talented wrestlers like Amber and Roxi.

Adams: If Amber and Roxi don't try to brawl with the Maniacs, and if they can set aside their differences for a night, they'll be fine!

Justin: And their opponents!

Pulsing, red lights rolls over the crowd like a tide to the opening echoing chords of 'Roots' by In This Moment. Maria Brink's vocals seem to summon a familiar response from those who know what to expect. Those who don't, well they seem to follow the lead. Most cheer in anticipation, but there are few who still jeer due to affiliations or just the fickle nature of a wrestling crowd on any given night. Atop the ramp, the lithe silhouette of the Distorted Angel seems to have materialised, soaking up the crowd's reaction and energy.

Justin: First, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, she is "The Distorted Angel" Amber Ryan!

Fans reach out for acknowledgement and wave signs in the same way that others lean out over the rail as much as they dare to yell expletives and empty threats- some get a perceptive nod, a sly wink or perhaps even a kiss blown in sarcasm towards the most derisive. Fluidly, Amber circles the ring- beelining for a camera person before trying to mess with them or talking some shit down into the camera lens. Slipping under the rope, Amber doesn't call for fanfare nor adulation, just making her way to the closest turnbuckle so that she might leisurely perch herself on the top with hands clasped and elbows resting on her knees in rather non-plussed outside of the trademark sly smirk seemingly ever-present on her features.

Simone: The last time Amber Ryan competed on Climax Control was when she won a Triple Threat Match against Maki and Seleana Zdunich, albeit with some assistance from Jessie Salco.

Adams: That was a non-title match, hence why Seleana, Jessie and Maki are competing in the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match at Summer XXXTreme and Amber is taking on Roxi!

Justin: And her partner!

The opening keyboard notes of "The Touch" begin on the PA system. Stan Bush's voice rings out and soon the power chords kick in to begin the song. The cameras pan around the arena, and soon, spotted in amongst the fans, is Roxi Johnson slowly making her way through them, slapping the fans five and getting patted on the shoulders as he moves through the swarm of fans.

Justin: From Tampa, Florida and representing Team Hero, Roxi Johnson!

The fans continuing singing with the song as Roxi continues her journey through them, stopping and singing along with them. She treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before she is lifted on top of the fans and they crowd surf her towards the ring, imitating a superhero flying motion. She makes it and lands on her feet on the arena floor to which she high fives the closest fan before climbing up on the apron and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.

Simone: Whilst we're on the subject of the Roulette Title Match, Roxi's wife Keira is the fourth competitor in that match.

Adams: It's safe to assume that Team Hero will be looking for a clean sweep at Summer XXXTreme but if the Metal Maniacs have their way than neither Roxi nor Amber will make it to Summer XXXTreme!

Jacob as the unfortunate task of refereeing a match between two maniacs and two women who don't get along but he still does his job by ordering the teams to decide who's starting, Amber and Roxi argue over this for a bit and The Maniacs seize the opportunity to attack them from behind, Twisted Sister on Roxi and The Iron Maiden on Amber, prompting Jacob to call for the bell.

DING DING DING

Simone: If Amber and Roxi can't decide who's going to start, what chance do they have in this match?

Adams: The Metal Maniacs may be, well, maniacs, but they are a seasoned tag team up against a tandem who have never teamed up before and don't get along!

Jacob initially tries to regain control of the match but he decides to wait it out once Roxi and Amber recover from the surprise attack and fight back against The Metal Maniacs, eventually order is restored as Amber clotheslines The Iron Maiden over the top rope and to the floor and when Kraven and Anthrax go to help her up Amber hits all three of them with a springboard cross body to the outside (though it's clear that she was aiming for The iron Maiden rather than the two men) leaving Roxi and Twisted Sister to duke it out in the corner.

Simone: Well after that wild start Jacob finally has control as Roxi and Twisted Sister will be starting the match.

Adams: All thanks to The Iron Maiden getting clotheslined to the outside and Amber Ryan knocking her and the rest of the maniacs out with a crossbody!

Back in the ring Roxi and Twisted Sister go back and forth for a while before Twisted Sister gouges Roxi's eyes and starts choking her whilst forcing Roxi to back into the corner, Jacob catches onto this blatant cheating quickly as he starts counting out Twisted Sister who stops choking Roxi at the four count before dragging her out of the corner and driving her into the matt with a Powerbomb! Twisted Sister goes for the first pin of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

And Roxi kicks out! By this point Amber and the Iron Maiden have recovered and returned to their respective corners and Amber quickly realizes that her tag team partner is in trouble and starts cheering her on.

Simone: There's no love lost between Amber and Roxi but it's clear that Amber is willing to set that aside for this match.

Adams: You can say that again.

Twisted Sister spots Amber on the apron and goes to knock the New Jersey native off the apron with a clothesline but Amber sees it coming from a mile away and drops off the apron before the clothesline can connect and Twisted Sister doesn't realize until it's too late that Roxi is back on her feet and by then Roxi hits Twisted Sister with a Tornado DDT planting her in the middle of the ring! Roxi goes for her team's first pin of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Twisted Sister kicks out! Roxi heads out onto the apron apparently attempting to follow that up with a Springboard Hurricanrana but when Twisted Sister does get back to her feet Jacob is distracted by checking on her long enough for Iron Maiden to drag Roxi down when she leaps up for the Hurricanrana causing Roxi to crash onto the ringside area instead! Amber has seen all of this and is loudly complaining to Jacob.

Simone: Oh, come on! How blind is Jacob?!

Adams: I've been saying for years that the bosses need to invest in eye tests for the refs and I think Amber and Roxi will agree with me on that point, the Metal Maniacs? Not so much!

The Iron Maiden rolls Roxi back into the ring before Jacob can catch on and Twisted Sister picks up Roxi before whipping her off the ropes and going for a Spinebuster, however Roxi reverses it into a DDT and starts crawling over to her team's corner and tags in Amber! Across the ring Twisted Sister tags in The Iron Maiden and the two women pick up where they left off at the beginning of the match, with an all out brawl whilst their respective partners recover on the apron.

Simone: The tag has been made and now Roxi and Twisted Sister get a rest bite whilst Amber and The Iron Maiden can go at it again!

Adams: And after Roxi's crash and burn just moments ago, she needs it!

After a few moments Amber takes control of the brawl with a variety of strikes that back The Iron Maiden up to the corner before backing up and hitting The Iron Maiden with a running Yakuza Kick stunning The iron Maiden long enough for Amber to hit The Iron Maiden with the Scissored DDT that she calls The Calling Card! Amber gets back to her feet and Twisted Sister tries to cheap shot her with a running apron clothesline but Amber ducks under it before knocking Twisted Sister off the apron with a step up enziguri! Amber looks poised to follow that up with a Suicide Dive to Twisted Sister but gets clobbered from behind by The Iron Maiden who follows that up by hitting Amber with a Crucifix Sitout Powerbomb!

Simone: The distraction didn't go exactly to plan for The Metal Maniacs, but they are back in control.

Adams: But for how long? Roxi has recovered on the apron and it's only a matter of time before Amber fights back!

The Iron Maiden goes for a cover on Amber.

ONE!

TWO!

And Amber kicks out! The Iron Maiden screams at Jacob apparently believing that it should've been three but Jacob ignores her as The Iron Maiden grabs Amber by her hair and goes for a 360 Hair Spin but Amber manages to block it with a kick to The Iron Maiden's stomach and follows that up with a Facebreaker DDT! Amber rolls The Iron Maiden onto her back before she goes for a pin attempt not realising that Twisted Sister is in position to break it up.

ONE!

TWO!

And sure enough, Twisted Sister breaks up the pin! However Twisted Sister doesn't remain in the ring for long as Roxi sprints across the ring and clotheslines Twisted Sister to the outside! Kraven and Anthrax help up Twisted Sister but much like at the beginning of the match they get wiped out alongside Twisted Sister by a suicide dive, this time from Roxi Johnson! Back in the ring Amber and The Iron Maiden are exchanging punches again and neither woman has the clear advantage.

Simone: A bad night for Kraven and Anthrax continues whilst Amber and The Iron Maiden duke it out.

Adams: And I can guarantee that they want to end this before either Roxi or Twisted Sister recover!

The Iron Maiden whips Amber off the ropes but Amber kicks The iron Maiden's legs from under her with a sliding double leg dropkick sending The Iron Maiden face first into the matt, seeing the opportunity Amber wastes no time in locking The Iron Maiden into her version of the Cattle Mutilation.

Simone: Burning the Lot! Amber has it locked in and Twisted Sister is in no condition to break it up thanks to Roxi!

Adams: Stick a fork in The Iron Maiden, she's done!

The Iron Maiden tries to fight her way out of the submission hold but in the end the pain is to great and she taps out!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners by submission, Amber Ryan and Roxi Johnson!

Simone: Amber and Roxi pick up a huge win heading into Summer XXXTreme where they'll meet as opponents!

Adams: I can't wait for that match!

Roxi and Amber stand a few feet away from each other, neither taking an eye off the other. Amber extends her arms to the side, and she and Roxi exchange a few words that are unheard. Roxi finally nods to Amber and points at her, before turning to leave the ring. Amber walks up and stops her. She motions for Roxi to stay in the ring, before she turns back and is handed the microphone.

Amber: Not so fast Roxi, we had an agreement... did we not? No tricks. No games. No shenanigans. No '3 on 1' assault.

Amber holds out her hands and shrugs.

Amber: So, are you truly a woman of your word?

Amber extends her hand to Roxi, once again for her to shake it. Roxi again hesitates, looking at Amber's hand, and turning away for a moment, and looking back at Amber.

Adams: I mean... they made a great team.

Simone: I don't know even that's enough. It seems nothing Amber does makes Roxi any less suspicious.

Finally, after a few long moments, Roxi does indeed shake Amber's hand. Despite her reluctance, Roxi holds up her end of the bargain.

Adams: And there it is. Perhaps now things will change.

Roxi nods and again tries to leave however Amber hasn't yet released her grip, almost jerking Roxi back towards her and bringing them face to face again. Amber drops the microphone but its clear they are still talking between themselves, lip readers might make out Roxi's confusion and apprehension along with Amber's insistence that they just have this moment.

In the moments of discussion, Amber has produced what looks like a small ball of crumpled paper from her pocket out of sight from Roxi who convinces Amber that the handshake can now end. Amber agrees, before asking Roxi to come closer for just one more second as though sharing an important secret.

Nervously Roxi complies, not seeing the lighter between Amber's fingers. As Amber leans in, the camera can clearly capture two words enunciated very softly, like a harsh whisper, in Roxi's ear...

Amber: Times up.

Before Roxi can create distance though, the ball of paper has instantly ignited and turned into a FIREBALL thrown straight into Roxi's face!

Adams: OH MY GOD!

Simone: JESUS!

Roxi recoils violently as the fire evaporates into the air almost instantly, but the damage is very clearly done. Roxi's blood curdling scream is cut off but Amber roughly double underhooking Roxi's arms and drags her a couple steps back to the middle of the ring- before dropping her with a sickening Original Sin.

Amber's apathetic expression curls into a wry grin as Roxi rolls onto her stomach, still clutching at her face as Amber slides close enough to Roxi that the cameras can pick up the audio betwen Roxi's pained groans.

Amber: Actions have consequences Roxi... and everything that happens from here on out is on your head, and your head alone.

Amber doesn't bother to linger a second more than necessary as Keira power sprints from backstage, steel chair in hand. Amber slides beneath the bottom rope as Keira takes a wild swing before simply throwing it towards where Amber is slowly, methodically retreating- it misses, but not by much as though Amber expected it. Keira for a moment contemplates going after Amber as she seetehs in fury, but instead quickly turns her attention to her wife while Amber keeps her eyes trained- not on Keira, but the stricken Roxi.

EMT's and medical personaly rush by with supplies, as Amber chuckles softly to herself with a shake of the head.

Adams: That... was horrifying.

Simone: It was a ruse... all along... And Roxi is in serious trouble in the ring.

The EMTs have to pry Roxi's hands off her face, and crowd around trying to assist her. They begin wrapping bandages around her head and eyes as Keira stands up, pacing nervously. Eventually The EMT's bring Roxi to a sitting position, her screams now groans of discomfort. and scoot her towards the edge of the ring, and eventually out of it. Keira and the EMT's assist a now blinded Roxi to the back Keira following, clearly distraught.

Adams: That does not look good.

Simone: I don't think I've ever seen anything like that happen to Roxi. That... clearly caused serious injury, and hopefully, we'll get an update on Roxi before the night is over...




Backstage, the camera finds Bombshell Roulette Champion Seleana Zdunich getting ready for her match tonight against Jessie Salco. She looks up to see the camera and nods.

Seleana Zdunich: Summer XXXTreme...

She counts off the list for the pay-per-view.

Seleana Zdunich: It will be me, Jessie Salco, Maki and Keira Johnson in an Ultimate X Match over the pool.

She turns, looking off into the distance.

Seleana Zdunich: Seeing the four of us like that will be a crowd pleaser for sure. I cannot wait to see what the four of us come up with to try for the Roulette Championship, so keen!

She nods, looking back to the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: I want to see what Jessie Salco will do especially after tonight! I want to see what Keira will do since this plays into her superhero stuff! I want to see if Maki can figure out how to Makihouse kick in mid air!

Her right hand closes into a fist.

Seleana Zdunich: I am keen to see all of that because if I can survive that, if they all manage to bring that kind of action and I survive then nothing and no one can stop me! Tonight I come in as Roulette Champion and I defend against Jessie Salco. I want everything you can throw at me, Jessie. I need everything you can throw at me because we are either going to prove that you are a total hypocrite or that everything you said about me was shit! It will be one or the other and then we will go to the Ultimate X and be joined by Maki and Keira for the match that should steal the show!

She nods pointedly, anger flowing through her.

Seleana Zdunich: I want everything you have both nights, Jessie! I want you to be at your most metal! I want you to be at your most Xtreme! I want you to come at me to kill me just to watch me die because I want you to do your worst and prove I can survive anything you can throw at me! I want Keira and Maki to come at me like they have never come at anyone before. I want these matches to make it all self evident and remove all doubt! I want there to be no excuses and no bullshit left after it is over.

She holds up the Roulette Championship.

Seleana Zdunich: I want these to go so that if I am standing there at the end of it all with this, that is it. I am champion and nobody can otherwise! Tonight is the first step...

Lowering the belt, she nods to the camera one more time.

Seleana Zdunich: Thank you for the help, Jessie, I will not forget it!




Backstage the camera is outside the training room where there are audible groans coming from the other side of the door. Pussy Willow herself walks up to the door and knocks, and Keira answers, walking out and still has a nervous look on her face.

Pussy: Keira, I know this is difficult but –

Keira: Difficult? Difficult? You have NO idea about difficult right now!

Pussy: I don't mean pry, but we're all just hoping for some kind of update.

Keira: You saw what happened! Mark my words Amber Ryan, There is nowhere you're going to be able to run or hide. You have just signed your own death warrant! When I get my hands on you –

And audible groan escapes from the room again, and Keira stops, and punches the wall.

Keira: GRRR... Look, Roxi is going to be fine. She wanted me to let Amber know, that she will see her at Summer XXXtreme.

Pussy: But... Is she going to be able to see?

Keira sighs, angry and upset.

Keira: If that's a joke...

Pussy: No... no..! That's not what I meant.

Keira: Look, She told me herself. Come hell or high water, Roxi is going to be at Summer XXXtreme. And Amber Ryan is going to wish she was never born. Now, if you'll excuse me.

Keira goes back into the room shutting the door behind her.




Pussy Willow is standing backstage by a Roulette wheel as Seleana Zdunich and Jessie Salco are standing right next to her waiting for her to spin the wheel. Pussy smiles as she spins the wheel and it begins to go round, and round in circles until it finally stops on something. Jessie Salco's eyes light up as the wheel lands on something that reads "Heavy Metal Mayhem". She walks away with a grin on her face as Seleana just nods in return as we go to ringside.

Simone: And it looks like our next match will be contested in a Heavy Metal Mayhem match.

Adams: What exactly is that?! The name of the match seems like it would definitely favor Jessie Salco.

Simone: Various musical instruments from the SCW roster will be scattered throughout the ring, each of them will be used as weapons in this match.

Adams: Just like all of the pets that these stars bring to the hotel and our shows. The bombshells and superstars should be careful of their musical instruments because they might just find their way into a match.

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

Justin: The following match is a Heavy Metal Mayhem Match for the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship. Introducing, from Miami, Florida, "The Heavy Metal Angel" Jessie Salco being accompanied by Keira Johnson

As the song kicks into high gear with Corey's scream Jessie emerges from the back headbanging along to the song before finishing with the christ pose at the top of the ramp and making her way down to the ring, she slides into the ring and perches herself on the middle turnbuckle waiting for the match to begin. Keira is at ringside as she doesn't even seem interested but crosses her arms.

Simone: what makes this even more dangerous is that both participants of this match will have the other two competitors from their Summer XXXtreme match in their corners.

Adams: Makes for interesting strange bedfellows.

Justin: And her opponent she is the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion being accompanied by Maki Seleana Zdunich!!!

The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich is led through the entranceway by Maki The two make their way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers them on. Seleana raises her title high into the air.

Drew Patton is in the middle of the ring as he takes a look at both competitors. He grabs the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship and holds it proudly in the air. Seleana and Jessie just keep their eyes locked on one another as Maki and Keira are outside the ring looking at each other as well. The ring is filled with so many musical objects. There's a keyboard, drum set, Super Strat, and Les Paul Guitars. There's musical amps among other things. The bell sounds loudly as this match has officially come to a start.

DING DING DING!

Simone: Here we go in what looks to be quite the unique match.

Adams: For those watching at home who didn't hear earlier in a Heavy Metal Mayhem match of all these musical instruments are legal to be used as a weapon. It should be interesting to see how they all come to play.

Simone: They won't be played more used to bring carnage upon each other!

Maki stands out of the ring and is making a comment to Seleana about her being her Swedish House Mafia and the distraction allows Jessie Salco to run at full speed and nail Seleana from behind with a wicked shot to the back of the neck. Seleana falls down to the mat as Salco walks around the ring until she looks at the drum set in the opposite corner of the ring. She picks up a drum stick and bangs it a bit before she focuses back on Seleana who is slowly rising back up to her feet. Jessie smiles before she takes the stick and shoves it right against the face of Seleana. The blonde backs away screaming in pain and a moment goes by as we can see Seleana bleeding from the face.

Simone: This match has only been going for 2 minutes and we have already seen blood.

Adams: Jessie has been vicious since this started. She seems at home in this world of Heavy Metal.

She yanks Seleana up to her feet as she drags her towards the corner where the drum set is.

Simone: What is she planning here... I think that's one of Roxi Johnson's drumsets.

Adams: I don't know what she has planned but this can't be good.

Jessie continues to smile as she looks at her opponent but then she takes a moment to trash talk Keira who is standing outside the ring. Keira can only mouth off in return as she looks at one of her wife's drumsets being in position to be used as a weapon. Jessie flips her off before grabbing Seleana and delivers a suplex right onto the drum set. The drum set breaks as symbols and various parts of the set roll across the ring. Seleana seems to be lying in the wreckage as Salco drags her away from the wreckage and goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: We could have a new champion right here.

Adams: Wait a minute what is Maki doing.

Maki however yanks Jessie out of the ring stopping the pin fall. She begins trash talking her that nobody messes her with Swedish House Mafia. Jessie begins to back up not wanting any part of Maki but she ends up backing right into Keira who is upset with Jessie for breaking one of her wife's drum sets. Jessie is sandwiched between the two and she turns around shoving Keira. Keira thinks about it before trying to clothesline Jessie but the Miami rocker chick ducks and Keira ends up hitting Maki instead. Keira looks shocked at what she has done as Jessie quickly slides back into the ring.

Simone: Keira accidentally hits Maki.

Adams: Was it really an accident though?!

Salco stands up but by this time Seleana who has blood dripping down her face is on her feet. Jessie walks towards her and Seleana fires back with a super kick that catches Jessie right in the face. Salco stumbles on her feet and seems wobbly as Seleana grabs Jessie and tucking her head underneath an arm. Zdunich's eyes meet with that of an electrical amp that is set up in the middle of the ring.

Seleana: Ledsen Griffin!

She screams before she sprints with Jessie and delivers a bulldog face first on top of the amp. Salco screams as she covers her face in pain and it isn't long before she starts to bleed from the face as well.

Simone: Seleana is now in control after delivering a bull dog right onto one of Devilition's Amps.

Adams: I have a feeling we are going to see more of the various SCW stars instruments being broken.

Seleana doesn't bother for a pin as Salco is leaning against the amp. Seleana surveys the ring looking for another weapon to use until she spots a rose designed keyboard. Seleana's eyes are drawn to it as she once again says sorry. She places Jessie on top of it before she slowly begins to ascend to the very top of the ropes. She looks down at Jessie screaming out at the top of her lungs.

Seleana: Te Amo Estrellita.

Simone: It looks like she is going to use her wife's keyboard as a weapon.

Adams: She seems hurt by it but the champion needs to defend her championship by any means!

Seleana doesn't waste any more times as she jumps off of the ropes with a frog splash attempt. She is about to come crashing down on top of Jessie but the Heavy Metal Angel is able to move at the very last second and Seleana lands right on top of the keyboard. The keys break as they begin to scatter all over the place as Seleana clutches at her stomach in pain. Jessie Salco is in pain as well as neither of them are quick to move. They both are nursing their injuries. Jessie starts to stir as she slowly rises to her feet and she reaches for a Les Paul Guitar and Seleana moves about before she reaches for a Fender Precision Bass Guitar.

Simone: Both women are starting to stir and it looks like Jessie has grabbed one of Caleb Storm's instruments.

Adams: And Seleana has Ruby's bass. This definitely won't end well.

They both make it to their feet and in unison they swing them at the same time towards each other. Both instruments shatter into pieces and both women glare at each other before Jessie grabs Mark Cross' Gibson guitar off of the ground as Seleana grabs one of her sister Katra's Telecaster guitar. They both swing again and once again they are at a stalemate as the instruments collide with one another. They drop the instruments as they begin to slug it out with one another as the blood gushes down their faces. Salco isn't in the mood for a slugfest as she arrogantly sends a kick in between Seleana's legs dropping her to the mat. Seleana lets out a howling yell as she falls to her knees. Salco follows up by grabbing a hold of Seleana's head and she plants her into the mat with a snapping ddt. Seleana is laid out in a pile of her own blood. Salco uses everything she has to turn Seleana over and hook a leg for a pin fall.

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: This is it I think we are going to have a new champion!

Adams: I don't believe it!

Thr.... NOOOOOOOOOOO

At the very last second Seleana is able to get a shoulder up and the makeshift crowd seems to be stunned. Jessie runs her hands through her hair as she can't believe it. She looks at Drew Patton questioning if it was a three count or not. Jessie Salco slowly rises up. She drags Seleana and places her on top of the broken keyboard before she signals this match is over. She begins to ascend to the top of the ropes as she signals for her Wall of Death 450 splash. Seleana however reaches out unknowingly to Salco as she grabs a Diamond studded microphone.

Simone: Jessie Salco is going to go for broke here and try to win the Roulette Championship.

Adams: Wait a minute Seleana has Diamond's microphone in her hands!

Without hesitation Jessie Salco leaps off of the ropes and Seleana kips up to her feet as she drives the microphone to the face of Salco right in midair. Salco falls down to the mat clutching at her face in pain as her face is a crimson mess. The crowd roars with excitement as they break out into HOLY SHIT chants.

Simone: My God did you hear the sound of that microphone crashing against Salco's skull.

Adams: Good thing Seleana is part owner of Rose Records otherwise I bet somewhere Diamond is super upset!

Seleana yanks Salco to her feet as the two of them are standing on top of Christina's broken keyboard. Zdunich places Salco underneath an arm and without hesitation she leaps over her spiking Salco Head first against the keyboard with her Kattoga (Asai DDT) Seleana is unconscious as she lands on top of Salco, and Salco isn't moving as she is underneath Zdunich in the wreckage of her body and the keyboard. Drew Patton drops down as he makes a count.

Simone: Holy "BEEP" both of these women are out of it.

Adams: But Seleana is on top for a pinning attempt!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Simone: She did it. Seleana has retained her title.

Adams: She did although I don't think she will even remember what happened in this match.

Justin: And the winner of this match as a result of a pin fall and still SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Seleana Zdunich!!!!!!!!!

Drew Patton checks on both bombshells as he motions asking for medical attention, Keira slides into the ring as she tries to check on both women but Maki quickly enters the ring as she spears Keira down to the mat to get payback for the accidental clothesline from earlier. Seleana and Salco are both unconscious and it seems like Maki and Keira are engaged in a heated fight. Drew Patton tries his best to get between them as security rushes down the ring to separate the two as medical staff run down to check on Seleana and Jessie. Security holds Keira and Maki back. The Roulette Championship is on Seleana's unconscious body and both of them glance at it.




Cameras cut to the back as Pussy Willow is standing next to Daniela V. Rodgers. She seems to be in a very good mood despite all the shortcomings her team as faced lately. Pussy gets the motion from the cameraman to start the interview.

Pussy: Daniela, how excited are you that you will be making your Summer XXXtreme debut this year?

Daniela: I am very excited to be getting the opportunity to represent my team on my own. I'm confident that I can prove why I am the leader of the group.

Pussy: It's not going to be easy. You will be facing Sam Marlowe. What are you going to do that Violet couldn't do last week?

Daniela: I'm going to beat her. I know she is talented but so am I. Let's not forget, I am not intimidated by anyone. I will prove that once again. I will beat her and I will make it very clear that we, the Trenton Tigers are not a joke. Sam Marlowe had better come prepared or I will make her life miserable.

Daniela walks off as Pussy watches her before the camera fades.




The cameras cut to the back where Candy, in a mild panic, is searching behind everything in sight

Candy: FLUFFY??? FLUFFY!!! WHERE ARE YOU????

It isn't long until she runs into the ever so nerdy Christina Rose. Christina is clad in her jeans sailor moon shirt and matching sneakers. She has her hair wrapped into two tight meatballs

Christina: Hey is everything okay?!

Candy: No... Fluffy is missing and I can't find her. Keira found her collar in the parking lot earlier and I think she has been dog napped. Have you seen or heard her? She's small, and white, and really really poofy?

Candy held in tears, as by this point she was extremely worried about her furry best friend. Christina shrugs her shoulders.

Christina: To be honest I didn't see her but we will find her. I am allergic to dogs so if you hear me sneezing a lot that means she is nearby. No need for tears we will find her and that is a promise!

Candy's eyes lit up.

Candy: Thank you! She's really friendly and loves sandwiches. If you see her and she tries to run away, just bribe her with a sandwich. Ham is her favorite! Oh I promise I will and next time I see you around the hotel you are going to do this hair of mine!

Candy: You got it! Get my phone number from management and call me any time! Thank you so much!!!!

Candy smiled and headed off down the hall




The scene opens to the sound of a guitar solo being played by one of SCW's resident metalheads Caleb Storms in the backstage area as he has his electric guitar plugged into an amp, we pan up to see that he is playing right outside the office of "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward and the crowd laughs as Pussy Willow walks up to him.

Pussy: Caleb, is it wise to set up your guitar right outside Mark's office.

Caleb: He has no taste in music and I'm proving him wrong, I've played through several of my favourite guitar riffs and solos throughout the night and he hasn't come out to complain yet!

Pussy: What solo were you just playing?

Caleb: The second guitar solo from "Blind and Frozen" by Beast in Black and I'm not done yet! As for my match against Teddy at Summer XXXTreme, well I have a surprise prepared for that PPV but aside from that I've kicked Teddy's ass in music, and I'll kick his ass in the ring!

Pussy walks off as the scene fades.




Justin: The following is a street fight scheduled for one fall and is for the Sin City Wrestling Roulette Championship

The eerie harmonies of the Devils Waltz courses its path from the sound system and across the spines of those in attendance. Curious onlookers turn their gaze toward the stage as the lights that illuminate the stage, ramp and ring fade from bright white to a disturbing red, and there, on the stage bathed in crimson, stands Kedron Williams, his flesh pale and his eyes almost as much so.

Justin: From Salem, Massachusetts, weighing one hundred and seventy nine pounds, he is Kedron Williams!

There is little reaction from the crowd, neither positive nor negative, as Kedron walks down toward the ring with a purpose; the lights above him beating on and off as if in tune with the beating of a heart. Each time the lights flicker off, once they resume, Kedron is further down the aisle and that much closer to the ring. Once he arrives at ringside, he stares into the ring and smiles, before the lights go completely dark. A mere moment later, they turn back on and Kedron is inside of the ring, sitting cross-legged in the center of the ring.

Simone: Kedron is looking very confident this evening.

Justin: and the challenger, from Dublin, Ireland, Lachlan Kane

As the lights in the arena cut to black, the speakers come to life with the sound of "You Ain't Ready" by Skillet. The lights begin to flash in an array of white and red as smoke fills the entrance stage. Strolling out to an overwhelming chorus of cheers, Lachlan Kane smiles out at the crowd and throws a couple of phantom punches before making his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans along the way. He runs up the steel steps and bounces against the ropes on the outside of the ring on the apron's edge before stepping through the ropes into the centre of the ring. He grins again before throwing his hands up to the deafening roar of the crowd. As his music fades away, he takes off his jacket and hands it off to the ring announcer and throws a few more punches to ready himself.

Lachlan Kane and Kedron Williams are standing in their respective corners as Jasmine St. John stands in the center of the ring holding up the Roulette Championship. She turns a complete 360 degrees before moving towards the time keeper. She hands the championship belt through the ropes as Kedron leaves his corner. Jasmine signals for the bell as the time keeper slams his hammer down three times onto the metal plate.

DING DING DING!

Kedron catches Lachlan completely off guard as he strikes with a corner dropkick. The move knocks Lachlan back first into the turnbuckle as Kedron immediately gets back up onto his feet. He glances over at his opponent and helps him back up. After he performs this action, he slams the palm of his right hand directly across the exposed chest of Lachlan. Lachlan screams as Kedron repeats them multiple times. On the ninth open palm strike, Lachlan catches the hand and executes a stand switch. Now Kedron has his back toward the turnbuckle as Lachlan returns the favor with multiple open palm strikes of his own.

Jasmine suggests that Lachlan gets Kedron out of the corner. Lachlan obliges her by twisting the right arm of Kedron and using it to Irish whip him halfway across the ring. Kedron slams back first into the opposite corner as he drops onto his knees. He is trying to catch his breath when Lachlan catches him with a hesitation dropkick which knocks back into the corner. Lachlan stands back up to his feet and quickly drives his boots into the sternum. Kedron is trying to battle through the onslaught as Lachlan grabs a hold of his legs before yanking him up and dropping him right back down onto the canvas.

Simone: Lachlan is utilitzing a strange strategy in this street fight.

Adams: Both men are more intent on using their hands then finding some outside help.

Lachlan grabs a hold of Kedron's right arm and drags him across the canvas. He picks the arm up and places into an expertly applied armbar. Kedron lets out a grunt in pain as Lachlan continues to add pressure onto this external limb. Kedron continues to grunt as Lachlan repositions himself keeping his body between Kedron and the ring ropes. Kedron continues to fight this hold as Jasmine is constantly asking him if he would like to give up. Kedron shakes his violently and uses his free hand to jam his fingers right into Lachlan's eyes.

The move causes Lachlan to release the arm as he backs up a bit. He is trying to regain his eye sight as Kedron rolls out of the ring. Kedron is holding his right arm as Lachlan finally sees where Kedron is standing. Lachlan nods his head before sprinting towards one side of the ring. He bounces off the ropes and comes running back toward Kedron. Before Lachlan could strike, Kedron catches him with a stiff forearm to the side of the head. Lachlan falls right onto his knees as Kedron hopes up onto the ring apron. He then proceeds to strike with a hard knee to the same side he just strike Lachlan with his forearm.

Lachlan falls onto his back as Kedron grips the ropes before using them to slingshot himself up and over the ropes before landing right down onto Lachlan with the tip of his elbow. Lachlan rolls away from the ropes as Kedron follows up his impressive elbow drop with a leaping leg drop with his leg landing across Lachlan's neck. Kedron takes the moment to go for a quick pin attempt.

ONE

TW.....

Lachlan rolls his shoulder up as Kedron is glaring at Jasmine. She is telling him it was a two count as he stands right back up to his feet.

Simone: This street fight is getting crazy.

Adams: When will the streets get introduced in the match

Kedron walks over toward where Lachlan was trying to catch his breath. Kedron pulls Lachlan back up to his feet and shoots him off toward the other side. As Lachlan rebounds, Kedron tries to go for a clothesline but Lachlan manages to duck underneath it. He rebounds off the other set of ropes and catches Kedron with a wicked sling blade. Kedron's head bounces off the canvas as Lachlan gets back up to his feet. He wraps his arm around Kedron's neck but Kedron slam his right elbow into the rib area of Lachlan. Lachlan screams out as Kedron flips him over before catching him with a superman style punch. Lachlan rolls backward as Kedron slides out of the ring.

He lifts the ring skirt up and proceeds to pull out a plastic bin full of odd weapons. Kedron continues to pull out weapons from underneath the ring as Lachlan as joined Kedron on the gym floor.

Simone: This is about to get interesting.

Lachlan comes running towards Kedron but gets met with a rolling pin to the gut. Lachlan immediately grabs at his stomach as Kedron slams the rolling pin directly across the back. Lachlan bows upward as Kedron uses the rolling pin to clothesline Lachlan down. Lachlan is struggling for breath as Kedron continues to punish Lachlan with that rolling pin in his hand. He eventually tosses the weapon to the side as he picks Lachlan up and rams him back first into the guardrail. Kedron continues to work over the back as he grabs a handful of Lachlan's tights and throws him back first into the barricade. Lachlan is writhing in pain as Kedron digs through the plastic bin and pulls out a street sign.

Kedron measures Lachlan while proceeding to stalk the man. Lachlan is just getting back to his feet but has wrapped his hand around a baseball bat unbeknownst to Kedron. Lachlan straightens himself out as he slowly turns around. Kedron raises the street sign above his head but before he could land any kind of blow. Lachlan slams the baseball bat in his hand right across the cheek bone of Kedron. Kedron lets a lot of spit fly out of his mouth as he turns to face Lachlan again. Lachlan strikes with the bat again as Kedron continues to stagger on his feet. Lachlan drops the bat and charges at Kedron. He manages to strike with another sling blade right onto the gym floor.

Adams: Now we are getting a fight.

Simone: Which one is going to walk out of this one.

Lachlan picks Kedron up off the floor and tries to throw him back into the ring. However, Kedron blocks the attempt and turns the tables on Lachlan. He catches him with a quick elbow strike followed by slamming him face first into the ring apron. Lachlan is holding his face as Kedron hops up onto the ring apron before leaping off it, wrapping his legs around Lachlan's neck and shooting him across the floor with a beautiful hurricanrana. Kedron is admiring his handiwork as he takes time to gloat. He uses his left hand to pat himself on the back.

A few SCU standouts who are watching from behind the plexiglass walls are showing their displeasure with Kedron's showboating. Kedron just shrugs them off as he slowly walks back toward Lachlan. He gets up towards Lachlan but gets caught with an elbow strike before finding himself going face first into the barricade. Kedron is holding his own face as Lachlan spins him around. He proceeds to drive multiple fists into his cranium before Kedron could get his hands up. Lachlan then hooks Kedron in a front facelock before lifting him up off his feet and driving him face first right into the dirty gym floor.

Adams: What a vicious DDT!

Simone: What is it going to take?

Both men stand up their feet. Kedron is holding his face as Lachlan is placing a hand on his lower back. Kedron strikes first but Lachlan fires back. Both men continue to trade blows until Lachlan gets the upper hand. Lachlan grabs a hold of Kedron's nose and leads him back toward the ring. Lachlan throws Kedron back into the ring as he quickly jumps up onto the ring apron. He climbs up onto the turnbuckles. Lachlan is looking for a big move as Kedron is getting back up to his feet. Lachlan leaps off the top looking for a crossbody but Kedron catches him out of the air with a side thrust kick. Lachlan falls to the canvas as Kedron quickly scales up to the top rope.

Kedron measures before leaping off the ropes and landing directly onto Lachlan after performing a picture perfect corkscrew shooting star press.

Simone: RED ARROW!!!!

Adams: Stick a fork in Lachlan he is done.

Kedron hooks the far leg of Lachlan as Jasmine slides into position.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Jasmine signals for the bell to sound as Kedron is still holding his midsection.

Justin: Here is your winner and still Roulette Champion...Kedron Williams

Kedron starts to celebrate as Lachlan rolls out of the ring.

Simone: Kedron did it. He successfully retained the championship as we head into Summer XXXtreme.

Adams: That is a huge confidence boost.




The cameras cut back to show Candy walking down the hallway with purpose. She still has Fluffy's collar in her hand as she approaches a locker room door that reads "Violet Amelia Holt". She stops and knocks on the door loudly.

Candy: VIOLET!

She knocks again loudly, no answer. She leans her ear to the door and gasped as she heard faint whimpering behind the door.

Candy: FLUFFY!?!?!!!!!!

The whimpering turned into full out whining from the dog behind the door. Candy began to frantically try to open the door, but it was locked.

Candy: DON'T WORRY FLUFFY!!! MOMMAS HERE! YOU'RE SAFE NOW!!!

She struggled more and more with the door when she heard a voice from behind her.

Shelby: Good luck, it's locked up nice and tight, and I have the only key.

She turned around to see Shelby standing there, holding a key in her hand, waving it around in her face. Candy tried to grab the key, but Shelby kept moving it away.

Candy: Give me the key, and give me back Fluffy!!!

Shelby: No... I don't think I will. Not yet at least.

Shelby smirked as from the side, Violet ambushed Candy! Violet tackled her to the ground and began to pummel her with fists, left and right.

Violet: HOWS THIS FOR AN EXPLANATION!!!

She went to throw another punch at Candy, but Candy dodged and Violet instead punched the ground. Using the moment to her advantage, she pushed Violet off of her and got to her feet. Candy, now full of anger and hurt, grabs Violet by the hair and lifts her to her feet.

Candy: GIVE... ME... FLUFFY!!!!

Violet: OVER MY DEAD BODY!

Candy and Violet then continue to brawl as security run up and separate the two.

Candy: SHE HAS FLUFFY IN THAT ROOM!!!

The security guard uses his key to open the door, and Fluffy came running out and ran to Candy. They let go of Candy who dropped down and scooped up the pup in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

Violet: THIS ISNT OVER!!!

Security began to escort Violet away from Candy. Shelby got up in Candy's face.

Shelby: You will regret this... and I suggest you keep that mutt at home during Summer XXXTreme.

Shelby smirked as she followed Violet off screen. The cameras focus in on Candy who is hugging Fluffy tight as Fluffy licks her face.




A shot of Travis Nathaniel Andrews can be seen from the back of the gym as his face is covered by a mask. His associate Shawna Jenkins is writing something down on a clipboard as they stand six feet apart. He is watching the action unfold while holding a crumpled up piece of paper in his right hand.

Simone: Why is Travis here?

Adams: What could he be planning now?

His daughter Denise Andrews is standing six feet in front of him as she shakes her head at the current product.




Sam Marlowe can be seen sitting back from the ring as a cameraman comes over to her mentioning that she asked him to remind her that she needed to cut a promo about the upcoming supercard. Sam nods and motions for the cameraman to start to film her as she watches the action in the ring.

Sam Marlowe: You know, I just got back in the ring last week and got my first win on my road back. Then I heard the announcement about Summer XXXTreme and it got me excited. To be facing someone at the supercard without having to challenge for a title belt. Which means that I get to relax this year.

Sam shoots the camera a wink before speaking again.

Sam Marlowe: Well as much as I can relax considering that I am facing one really good competitor in Daniela Rodgers. She is someone that is ready to challenge for a title belt and if you ask me, probably should be but she gets to face me in a match instead.

Sam turns to fully look into the lens of the camera.

Sam Marlowe: I don't know if you know why I am saying that this year I don't have to worry as much as other years. See the first time I competed at Summer XXXtreme was in a regular match. The other three times I competed were for titles. And this time I am in another regular match. So I won't be dealing with the pressure of a title match and can enjoy myself.

A smile breaks across the face of Sam as she leans back in the seat.

Sam Marlowe: So Daniela, as much as you think that I am taking the fact that this isn't for a title lightly, think again. I have heard about how my year started off so bad with all those losses so I made myself a promise. For the rest of the year I wasn't going to let myself lose if I could help it and when I faced Tallyn, I got the win. Then last week I beat Violet Holt to continue that win streak. So, if I am going to keep the win streak alive, that means that at Summer XXXTreme, you are going to have to take the loss in our match. And for that, let me tell you right now that I am sorry but I am coming with a goal, a plan and the desire to win.

Suddenly, Justin Decent can be seen rising to move towards the ring. Sam turns back to the cameraman to offer him an apologetic look.

Sam Marlowe: See you at Summer XXXTreme Daniela and good luck.

Sam stops speaking as she leans forward to watch the upcoming match.




The camera cut backstage to Ben and Evie Jordan, Evie still fuming from her encounter with Alicia and Andrea earlier.

Ben: Relax babe, need to get your focus.

Evie: I swear to God...

Ben puts his hand on Evie shoulder.

Ben: God ain't got anything to do with this, he's up there having a seat on a cloud getting ready to watch this main event.

Evie takes a deep breath and looks at Ben.

Ben: The best way to stick two fingers up to those two is to get out there, and showing them what they're gonna be facing in two weeks time. Get out there and show them no matter how much moaning about the belt, no matter how much they think they can win, you're gonna show them otherwise. It's how to get in the right mindset. Trust me, Griffin's gonna look up close and see too. More than anything else, you know what we're gonna do?

Evie looks at Ben with an arched eyebrow.

Ben: We're gonna show them why we're walking to the ring with the belts and not walking to the ring wanting them. It's a whole lot of hot air and bugger all to back it up.

Evie: If Alicia does anything to fuck this up.

Ben: She won't. It's not her game. Everyone is expecting her to do something and that's why she won't during the match. She's a pro at the end of the day and ain't giving ammo to someone to get at her next week. Tonight, we go out there and show them while we're champs and they're not gonna be.

The camera cuts back to ringside ready for the main event.




Justin Decent: The following is a mixed tag team match

The lights tun colors from Red to Green to various other colors as "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi begins to fill the air. Fog fills the stage, and emerging from it is none other than Griffin Hawkins!.

Justin Decent: "Making his way to the ring...from Windsor, Ontario Canada...weighing in at 227 Pounds...put your hands together for Griffin Hawkins!!"

The crowd is cheering 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.

He gets down, taking off his leather jacket before getting out of the ring. He sees a young little boy in the front row as he takes off his silver aviator shades. He places his sunglasses on the young fan who looks excited to be here, smiling as he pats him on the head. He rolls back into the ring, and kicks his feet up ropes in the corner of the ring and leans across the turnbuckle like it's a hammock, waiting for the match to begin.

"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. 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.

Justin Decent: Now in the ring, from Sedona Arizona, standing 5'4 she is the former SCW Bombshells champion....ANDREA HEEEERNANDEZ.

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 Decent: Making her way to the ring from Victor Harbour, South Australia... Evieeee Baaaang.

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.

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

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

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

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

Adams: Here we go, this should be interesting. Griffin Hawkins and Ben Jordan in a ring and Andrea and Evie...but...Alicia Lukas is our referee!

Simone: Let's see if Alicia knows how to count after being beaten by Myra Rivers last week

Adams: We have four world class wrestlers in the ring, we have drama and intrigue!....

DING DING DING!

Alicia calls for the bell, Ben and Evie talk and Evie pushes forward to start the match, Ben raises an eyebrow giving his wife what she wants, Griffin takes his cue and moves to the ring apron. Andrea and Evie come to the center of the ring and get nose to nose. After a few moments of talking Andrea shoves Evie back, Evie then goes forward going for a right hand, Andrea ducks and hits the ropes, Evie with a drop down, Andrea continues through and Evie pops up and goes for a back body drop. Andrea flips over to her feet and as Evie spins around Andrea jumps for a monkey flip, Evie springs off the mat and throws herself with Andreas momentum and is able to land on her feet behind her, both women spin around and come face to face as the limited crowd and Griffin and Ben all show their appreciation.

Andrea gives a nod respecting Evie's speed and work, Evie just shrugs and laughs to herself. Alicia looks at them both and tells them to get on with it. They go to lock up, Evie drops down and picks Andreas leg hitting a fast dragon snap takedown, she keeps a hold of Andreas leg and kicks at the back of her knee before throwing herself over the top of Andrea snapping her leg to hurt the thigh muscle. Evie pops to her feet and grabs Andrea by the leg again, Andrea scrambles to the ropes and grabs the bottom, Evie tugs on Andreas leg. Alicia starts a count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Evie doesn't let go and Alicia interjects, pushing Evie back warning her not to let her get to a five. Andrea holds her leg and pulls herself up on the ropes, as she lets go Evie goes right back on the attack going for a chop block to Andreas knee, Andrea jumps over Evie's attack holding the ropes before using them to spring up and wrap her legs around Evie's head with a head scissors sending her across the six sided ring to her corner. Evie looks up and her nostrils flare. She turns and angrily tags in Ben. Andrea breathes deep and steps out as Griffin gets in and the male counterparts take over.

Simone: Evie showed why she is the champion and Andrea showed heart there, cause Evie was looking at destroying Andreas leg

Adams: Honestly that is a great strategy, Andrea is a high flyer and a student of lucha, if Evie can slow her down she can get an advantage over her...but lets see what Ben and Griffin have...

Ben and Griffin move around each other looking to feel one another out, they go to lock up and push against one another, Ben showing he is clearly stronger with his beefed up frame as opposed to Griffins sleeker high flying one. Ben quickly turns his body weight hooking Griffin by the arm and pulling him down into an armdrag, but he holds onto it and curls his arm around Griffins holding his knee against the side of his face keeping the explosive rock star down. Griffin kicks his legs before being able to roll his hips causing Ben to lose his balance, Griffin gets to his feet in a crouched position and then rolls forward kipping up off his shoulders to his feet reversing the armbar into a standing one of his own.

Ben shakes his head, looks at Evie and then spins back and under Griffins arm, then then rolls and drops into a drop toe hold, Griffin lands face first but as Ben tries to roll across into a side headlock Griffin slides his head out and drills his knee into the side of Bens ribs. Ben moans in pain, Griffin pops up and hits the ropes, he hits a one legged sliding dropkick to the side of Bens head, Ben slides from the ring and Griffin stays on the attack sprinting at the ropes and going for a suicide dive, Ben though is able to see Griffin coming, he catches Griffin and turns him in mid air so he crashes against the barricade. Alicia reaches a count of 8 before Ben rolls Griffin back in the ring and follows.

Griffin pulls himself up but Ben is right on him, he chops Griffins chest making him stumble into the corner, Ben hits another chop and another, Alicia starts a count as Griffin is holding the ropes, Ben steps back and Griffin uses the moment to suck in deep breaths, Ben pulls Griffin out and hits a stiff forearm to his face before backing Griffin up into the ropes and whipping him across the ring, he ducks down and hits a back body drop throwing Griffin up into the air and crashing down onto the mat hard

Simone: Ben Jordan almost sent Griffin Hawkins into the stratosphere. Griffin has absorbed two vicious blows to his back and it doesn't look good.

Adams: Griffin showed us that high octane offence, but Ben is so smart, his ring IQ is off the charts and he even used Griffins own momentum against him and I know it's a cliche, but it's called high risk for a reason!

Griffin reaches up towards Andrea, Ben though pulls Griffin away by the leg, Griffin is able to get to one foot and roll forward away from Ben, Ben rushes in to stop the tag and Griffin suddenly flips back and hits a Pele kick right to the face of Ben Jordan!. Ben goes down and Griffin reaches up to get a tag to Andrea!, Andrea shakes her leg out and leaps into the ring. Evie goes to get in and Andrea grabs her as she is caught in the ropes, Andrea then drops back with a DDT, Evie's head bounces off the mat and Andrea senses this is her chance, she gets onto the apron and calls for Evie to get up as she does she goes for her seated senton, Evie though rolls out of the way, Andrea changes in mid air and hits the mat running, both women hit the ropes and Andrea jumps up with a Busaiku knee!. Evie is down and Andrea scrambles for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Evie kicks out!. Alicia holds up a two and Andrea looks at Alicia frustrated, she gets to her feet and says it was three, Alicia shakes her head and repeats that it was two, Andrea runs a hand through her hair and meanwhile Evie goes for a roll up on her. Alicia drops down.

ONE!

TWO!

Andrea kicks out, Alicia again says two, Andrea gets to her feet and Evie is able to blast her with a hard right hand. She stumbles back and Evie hits the ropes again and flattens Andrea with a sling blade, Andrews's head bounces off the mat and Evie looks to be in firm control, she looks down at Andrea and calls for the Svetlana. Andrea starts to get up and Evie hits the ropes, she goes for the kick and Andrea is able to push herself up making Evie miss, as both women get to their feet Andrea jumps, kicks off the ropes and grabs Evie's head with a tornado DDT!. Evie sits up with a dazed look on her face as Ben looks concerned trying to each out for a tag, Andrea pulls herself to the top rope and flips back with her Phoenix splash. Ben though grabs Evie by the arms from outside the ring and moves her out of the way causing Andrea to crash and burn.

Simone: What a brilliant move by Ben!

Adams: I mean..that wasn't illegal..but was it in good taste?

Simone: Who gives a sh

Adams: Belinda!

Ben gets on the apron and reaches down tagging himself in, Andrea too rolls from the ring, Griffin and Ben meet in the middle of the ring trading hard rights and lefts, Griffin blocks a right from Ben, he fires one back and Ben stumbles, Griffin steps up and kicks Ben in the side of the head with an enzuguri, Ben goes down and Griffin hits the ropes with the Heavy Metal Thunder!, he crashes down hard onto Ben and hooks the leg for a pin, Alicia dives down.

ONE!

TWO!

BEN KICKS OUT!. Griffin can't believe it, she shakes his head and calls for the Shot in the dark, he stomps his feet begging Ben to get up, Ben pulls himself up and Griffin launches forward, Ben ducks the superkick and as Griffin spins around Ben kicks him in the stomach, he picks Griffin up in a powerbomb position and hits the lungblower completing the "That hadta hurt". Griffin bounces off Bens legs and Ben covers.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin Decent:Here are your winners, BEN AND EVIE JORDAN

Simone: Wow, great match Jason, great great match

Adams: It was, that was four of the best going at it and Alicia Lukas was true to her word.

Simone: Yeah alright, I'll give the blond bimbo credit, she was fair

As "Blame it on the boom boom" plays Alicia raised Ben and Evie's hands. As she lowers them she lets Bens hand go and Ben turns away from Alicia, but Alicia suddenly pulls Evie forward and onto her shoulders for the Georgia drop!. Her knee connects with Evie's face and Evie goes down and is left in a heap. Andrea looks into the ring shocked as Ben turns around to see Evie out on the canvas. Alicia looks over at Ben and then slides from the ring fast.

Adams: WHAT THE HELL?

Simone: OH DAMN SHE JUST TOOK OUT THE CHAMP

Adams: What has got into Alicia Lukas?

Alicia backs up the entranceway and rips off her referee shirt to show a black and red wolfslair shirt. She sneers and grabs a microphone.

Alicia: Hey, I told you all, from bell to bell I called it right down the middle. But Ben, when Evie wakes up, tell her that respect only gets you so far, cause deep down, everyone, from Evie, to Andrea to every single bitch in the back is out for themselves. I'm done trying to save this division...so now...I'm going to destroy it....and I'm going to do it by taking that Bombshells title at Summer XXXtreme...

Simone: Alicia has sent a very clear message to the champion and we're two weeks away from seeing that clash.

Adams: Throw in Andrea, you've got one hell of a match.

Simone: And that will be on our next show but it's time to end tonight. Thank you for joining us, join SCU later tonight for Underground and Supernova before we kick off Summer XXXTreme VIII. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!
