The open sky high above the Diagoras Stadium is blanketed in colorful hues of blue, orange, pink and yellows as day gives way to dusk and the crowd in the stands of the Stadium as well as the many rows of seats surrounding the six-sided ring in the center of the field. The SCW Universe in Corfu welcome the Superstars and Bombshells with open arms, holding signs for their favorites! The camera does a complete sweep around the entirety of the Diagoras Stadium before focusing in on the SCW ring where ring announcer Justin Decent stands with a glowing smile on his face.

Justin: Hello everyone, and WELCOME to the 2022 Greece Lightning Tour in Lesbos, Greece!

The crowd cheers its collective approval!

Justin: Now please help me welcome to the stage, the Grand Hostess With the Mostess of Sin City Wrestling -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!

Amanda comes out to rousing cheers and applause, dressed in denim jeans and a plaid shirt, with the house microphone in one hand and a soccer ball in the other. The music starts to play and the opening performance begins!

Amanda: Checkin' out the Facts of Life ... Wishin' Jo would be my wife
Poster prints of Georgia O "Keefe ... Watchin' sports in boxer briefs

The performance ends and the applause and cheers follow as Amanda smiles and waves to the crowd before vanishing behind the curtains...

The camera then switches to the ringside area and the broadcasters table where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit ready to call the night's upcoming action!

Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to the 'Going Home' edition of Climax Control, here on the historic island of Lesbos...

Adams: **giggles**

Belinda looks at Jason who looks innocently into the air and whistles.

Simone: ... Greece! We are two weeks away from Athens, Greece and tonight is the final stop in the Road to Into the Void XI!

Adams: We're going to find out the final entrants in the King and Queen For A Day matches!

Simone: And much more! And the night's action will begin with one of those very qualifying matches when Agostino Romano goes one on one against Hitamashii to determine the final entrant in the King For A day match in Athens!

Adams: Then it's the Bombshells' turn when Candy takes on Bella Madison, the winner advancing to the Queen For A Day match at Into the Void XI!

Simone: Then Goth has obviously raised the irritation of Christian Underwood by questioning his booking status, because the Co-Owner of SCW has forced the Hall of Famer into only the second Handicap match in SVCW history! Tonight Goth's opposition is former SCW World Tag Team Champion Jamie Staggs and a mystery partner!

Adams: Kat Jones is set to face the Roulette Champ Diamond Steele in Athens but tonight she has to get into the ring for her first ever Roulette rules match against a former champion -- Jessie Salco!

Simone: Christian's sick and twisted side comes into play once again because at Into the Void XI, Ms. Jon and Mercedes Vargas have the chance to settle things between them in an Anything Goes Streetfight. But tonight? He is making those two enemies team up to face Crystal Zdunich and Seleana Zdunich IN an Anything Goes Streetfight as a preview!

Adams: Then we have a preview in what's to come in the Queen For A Day match when last year's winner Alicia Lukas goes up against the returning Hall of Famer, Samantha Marlowe!

Simone: Then we have the match many have been anxiously anticipating when the legendary Chris Page steps inside of an SCW ring for the first time EVER! Tonight he teams with World Heavyweight Champion Mac Bane to face off against the formidable combination of Ben Jordan and the "White Wolf" Fenris!

Adams: And the Main Event! After the Twelve Labors match a few weeks ago, HOW will the current Roulette Champion Finn Whelan and the man he beat for the belt, "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart, top things? We're going to hopefully find out!

Simone: All this and much more on SCW Climax Control!




Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii" Shirasu is seen with his friends, Andrew Garcia and Ivan Darrell. Hitamashii is here to discuss the loss of the handler of the Fallen, Ro.

Hitamashii: I know I am a little late in discussing the passing of the handler of the stable The Fallen in Ro, but I wanted to collect my thoughts on how I felt before discussing her loss and the impact she has had on the company and myself. I, as a wrestler, never worked with her characters, but knew of them obviously through the trainings Casey Williams gave me. As a person, I knew Ro to be one of the sweetest people ever!

Hitamashii smiles as he looks at his friends and he turns his attention to Agostino Romero.

Hitamashii: Agostino, you think your cool demeanor will get you far in this game, but it won't. Until you show your true passion, you will flounder as others fly past you and they will show their greatness while you suffer and be mediocre at best.

Hitamashii turns as he, with his friends in tow, decide to go into the locker room while cackling as the scene fades to black.




In the ring, Jacob Summers can be seen checking the ropes.

Simone: This opening match up is going to be very interesting.

Justin Decent moves to the ring and climbing the ring stairs, he slides between the ropes and stands in the middle of the ring.

Adams: Let's go to Justin for the introductions.

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

The opening riffs of Fire In Our House by Astral Doors hits the speakers and Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii" Shirasu comes out to the stage, looking smug. He stands there as the crowd gives him boos. Hitamashii walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step. He looks around the crowd, and starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head with his nose in the air to look at the crowd, their faces showing that they do not like the way he is looking down upon them.

Justin: Introducing first! From Himeji, Japan! Weighing one hundred and ninety two pounds! -- HITAMASHII!!!!

Hitamashii lowers his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Hitamashii climbs up to the apron and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him.

Simone: Former SCU Underground superstar is in tonight's opening match against a former champion in our next competitor.

Justin: And his opponent...

Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the curtain, wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him.

Justin: From Milan Italy, he is Agostino Romano!

Adams: Agostino looks excited for the match tonight.

Simone: But is he ready for Hitamashii?

Agostino does high fives to the crowd before seeing a kid in the front row which he pulls funny faces at along with giving them a hat from his Global Bike Championship days. He then goes inside of the ring and waves at the fans with the crowd cheering for him while James claps from outside of the ring before Agostino moves to the middle of the ring.

Adams: Summers is signalling for the bell and here we go!

DING DING DING!

The sound of the bell sends Hitamashii charging towards Agostino with bad intentions but Romano is able to avoid the attack by ducking under the outstretched hands of Hitamashii. Agostino turns and uses a chop on the chest of Hitamashii that he just ignores as he grabs at the head of Agostino and whips him into the corner. Romano turns and sees Hitamashii headed into the corner and ducks past him. Hitamashii stops and turns as Agostino charges in and leaps on the thighs of the bigger man. Agostino attempts a monkey flip but Hitamashii just tosses him into the middle of the ring. Agostino gets on his hands and knees to see Hitamashii striding towards him. Romano pushes himself backwards and under the bottom rope to the outside. Hitamashii follows him to the ropes and reaching over the top rope, grasps Agostino by the hair and pulls him on the apron. Before Hitamashii can pull him into the ring, Romano grabs him by the back of the head and drops to the floor and hanging Hitamashii on the top rope which slingshots him backwards. Quickly sliding into the ring, Agostino attempts a pin.

Adams: Agostino going for the quick pin here but I don't think he will get it.

Hitamashii easily presses Romano off him and rolls to his hands and knees. Agostino gets to his feet and then rushes to grab the leg of Hitamashii to try and put in him a sharpshooter. Hitamashii uses his leg strength to prevent the hold then kicks Agostino into the ropes. Romano rebounds as Hitamashii rises. Catching Romano by the throat with two hands, he slams him to the mat. Agostino arches in pain as he rolls on the canvas. Hitamashii stands over him before pulling him up and lifting him onto his shoulders. Hitamashii punishes Agostino with a gorilla press before slamming him to the mat again. With Romano writhing on the mat, Hitamashii drops to one knee and covers Romano carelessly. Agostino kicks out which only angers Hitamashii who begins too rain down punches on him. Putting his hand on the throat of Romano, Hitamashii again makes a pin. Summers tells Hitamashii that he won't make a count because of the choke hold that he is using for the pin. Hitamashii growls at him to count the pin but Summers shakes his head no. Agostino continues to kick as he tries to force the hand off his throat. Jacob begins to count after warning Hitamashii he would disqualify him. Finally at four, Hitamashii releases the hold on Romano's throat and rises towards Jacob menacingly.

Simone: Hitamashii using disqualifying moves to try and get the pin Jason but Summers sees right through him.

Summers warns Hitamashii off as Agostino rolls to the ropes. Using his hands and the ropes, Romano stands and leans against them as Hitamashii turns to glare at him. The large man charges at him with a big boot attempt but Romano throws himself to the side and avoids the boot but Hitamashii hurts his leg on the top rope. Agostino sees an advantage and rushes towards Hitamashii to land on his back and take him off his feet with a reverse frankensteiner that sends Hitamashii to the mat. Agostino quickly rushes to the corner and climbs the turnbuckles to the top. Looking down at Hitamashii who is slowly getting up, Agostino launches himself off the top rope with a frog splash that stops Hitamashii from getting to his hands and knees. Agostino rolls to the side clutching his midsection in pain as Hitamashii sucks in air from the frog splash. Agostino fights his way to his hands and knees and crawls towards Hitamashii who sits up and turns with a glare at Romano who stops in his tracks with a surprised look on his face.

Adams: Hitamashii rising from that frog splash like that looks like he surprised Agostino.

Simone: Wouldn't you be surprised if you thought you drove the air from your opponents lungs only to see him sit up?

Hitamashii gets to his feet slowly as Agostino has a deer in the headlights look and backs away from Hitamashii. The Japanese man reaches out and catching Romano by the head, he starts to hit him with rights and lefts that stagger the smaller man. Hitamashii follows him around the ring raining punches and kicks on Romano with one final punch, launches Agostino into the ropes then he rebounds into a clothesline that rocks him right out of his boots. Agostino lays on the mat as Summers checks on him. Hitamashii reaches down and pulling Romano to his feet, scoops him up and violently slams him to the mat once more. Agostino arches in pain as his hand goes to his back. Hitamashii looks down at him with no emotion before picking him up again and once more scooping him up for a body slam. Agostino manages to use a forearm on Hitamashii that prevents the second body slam as Hitamashii drops him to the mat. Romano is quick to roll to the outside and rests against the ring apron. Hitamashii drops and rolls out of the other side of the ring and stalks towards Agostino who sees him coming and rushes to the ringsteps to launch himself at the bigger man with shooting star ddt that sends Hitamashii to the floor face first in front of the announce table.

Simone: Agostino really taking it to Hitamashii.

Leaving Hitamashii on the outside, Agostino rolls into the ring and breaks the count. Summers moves towards the ropes to check on a slowly rising Hitamashii who uses the announce table to rise. He smirks at Belinda who backs away quickly as Jason steps in front of her. Hitamashii backs away with a menacing grin as Agostino leaps on the turnbuckle and launches himself towards the bigger man with a moonsault to the outside that sends both of the men to the floor once more. Both men are on the floor in pain as Jacob again starts to count. Hitamashii rises slowly as Agostino begins to crawl to the ringsteps. Pulling himself up using the steel, Agostino pulls himself to the ring apron then rolls slowly under the bottom rope. Hitamashii reaches up and pulls himself up to the apron with one hand then slides over the middle rope and into the ring before glaring at the slowly rising Agostino.

Adams: If looks could kill...Agostino is dead man walking.

Agostino leans back in the corner as Hitamashii charges in at Romano who sees him coming then leaps over the shoulder block before turning as Hitamashii straightens. Catching him by the back of the head as he leaps on the thighs of Hitamashii, Agostino pulls him out of the corner with a racer's crash that has both knees striking the face of Hitamashii and sending him to the mat. Romano rushes to the corner and climbing to the top, hits a frog splash on Hitamashii that drives the air from his lungs. Agostino grabs at both legs of Hitamashii and rolls him over for a pin as Summers drops to the mat and makes the count.

Simone: Romano with the pin!

ONE!

Adams: Hitamashii needs to move now or else this is over.

TWO!

Adams: Wait, I see him struggling. I think he is going to be able to kick out...

Simone: Maybe but not before Jacob Summers counts the three.

THREE!

Adams: Agostino did it!

Agostino rises after pushing the legs of Hitamashii to the side. Jacob signals the bell then holds the arm of Agostino up in victory.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Agostino Romano!

Romano moves to the corner and climbs the turnbuckles to listen to the cheers of the fans as Hitamashii rolls to the side and out of the ring.

Adams: Winner of the match is Agostino Romano, but Hitamashii gave him a fight tonight.

Simone: What a match to open the show tonight Jason and it will only get better after this.

Hitamashii storms through the curtain as Agostino moves across the ring to climb the opposite turnbuckles to continue his celebration of his win.




The scene opens backstage where we see Krystal Wolfe getting ready for an interview with Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal, last week you were announced as one of the six women competing in the annual Queen for a Day match and this year's edition might have it's toughest field to date.

Krystal: Me, Alicia, Amber, Sam, either Candy or Bella with a sixth Bombshell to be announced? Yeah, you could say that.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: With that said, what are your thoughts on the competition so far? You have history with most of the women in this match.

Krystal: Off the confirmed names I have history with Amber and Sam, off the two women competing for a spot? I have more history with Bella than Candy but they are both Bombshells who I've faced before, and off course the wildcards are Alicia and the unnamed sixth Bombshell! I'll be saving the final participant until we know who she is because she could literally be anyone who doesn't already have a confirmed match for Into the Void XI.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: That's fair enough but what about the others?

Krystal: Amber and Sam are two names from the Blaze of Glory Cycle who I've wanted another shot at since I beat Evie, Sam was the one who denied me my chance of making it to the second round of the Blast from the Past Tournament and the last time we met was in that World Bombshell Championship qualifier in Crete that was won by Myra, Amber is someone I've only faced once in the most brutal match of my career.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: The non-title street fight at the Blaze of Glory Go Home Show?

Krystal: Exactly! My main goal regarding those two will be to avenge my prior defeats at their hands! Candy and Bella? Well, that match is still to come but since I've faced both in the past I'll address them together, Bella has come a long way since the matches we had for the Bombshell Roulette Title during my reign and Candy definitely made a few enemies during her turn as interim GM during the lead up to Violent Conduct.

Krystal shakes her head.

Krystal: Frankly I'm just glad that neither of my title defences were under Glitter Bomb rules but don't let her bubbly personality fool you, Candy is tough as nails and as a former Bombshell Roulette Champion herself she knows what it takes to win titles even if she's been in a sharp decline since her one and only reign ended two years ago! But as tough as Candy and Bella are, they have one thing in common, I hold wins over both of them and I'll be looking to continue that streak, against who depends on the matches outcome off course.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Not counting the mystery sixth woman, that just leaves Alicia Lukas, she won last year's Queen for a Day Match and recently beat your friend and fellow Go Gym Graduate Ariana Angelos in singles action.

Krystal: And she's facing Sam tonight, I know, here's the thing, I watched Alicia's promo against Ari and the main thing I noticed is that she has a preconception about me based on two things, my Roulette Title reign and my decision to propose to my wife at High Stakes X, far as I see it, Alicia is someone too stubborn to look at the bigger picture of my title reign and just focusses on the numbers and who I faced.

Krystal says as she folds her arms.

Krystal: Was my second defence against Bea Barnhart? Yeah, after that bitch tried to ruin my moment after the first defence by stealing my title, was my defence at Blaze of Glory X against Char? Yeah but she attacked my friend to get to me, tell me Alicia, if someone had attacked a family member of yours would you go on the warpath regardless of who she was or her status in SCW? Off course you would, and by attacking Ari Char made that match a lot more personal than it had any right to be!

Krystal shakes her head.

Krystal: People like you Alicia can't accept that the younger generation has already passed them by, Ari may have lost her match to you but she was right on the money when she pointed out that whatever fire you had when you arrived in SCW was extinguished long ago, and I will happily drive the point home.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Anything else?

Krystal: Just that I find it funny how I used royal symbology when promoting the World Bombshell Title Qualifier in Crete only to find myself in the Queen for a Day Ladder Match! Otherwise? I'm off to watch Candy duke it out with Bella for one of the final spots!

Krystal walks off as the scene fades.




Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2 plays in the area as Mercedes Vargas walks with purpose on her way to the ring, stepping into the ring and asking for a mic. She paces the ring, surveying the crowd, before coming to a stop as her music fades to the sound of the electric crowd.

Mercedes: You know what's almost as ridiculous as being here in Lesbos? It's coming out here and having to see your faces. Trust me, if I didn't have a match tonight, I wouldn't even be here. But I am here, and I got something to say.

Mercedes takes a breath, before she raises her microphone.

Mercedes: This isn't going to be easy, but it's something I have to do. At 42 years old, I've accomplished more than most people have their entire careers. I don't need to list off my accomplishments; they speak for themselves. I'm sure by now every Bombshell in the back could reel them off line by line. I am unquestionably the most decorated talent not only in the women's division but of any wrestler to have ever set foot in this...very...ring.

Mercedes points down at the canvas three times to emphasis this point.

Mercedes: I may not always have the lengthiest reigns but there's only one 14-time champion in this company, and there is no one even close.

Mercedes parades around the ring to the disdain of the crowd.

Simone: Mercedes has a laundry list of accomplishments that most would give their souls to have.

Adams: You'll hear no argument from me.

Mercedes: But that's not what tonight is all about. No, see, in two weeks at Into the Void, the supercard where I made my SCW pay-per-view debut and have never been left off the card since, I have to face Ms. Jon in an Anything Goes Street Fight. Now, I've been in my share of Street Fights in SCW. In fact, in the last one, I beat Jessie Salco. I'm also undefeated in these matches, but that's neither here or there. Not when I have an almost 150-pound size disadvantage against an a woman who has not been pinned or submitted in over two months. That she's on a mini-losing streak right now is besides the point. Tonight, I have to team with Ms. Jon against Christina and Seleana Zdunich, the Hollywood Angels or whatever they call themselves. The way Ms. Jon has been destroying anybody in her path, I'm starting to think she won't need my help.

Simone: What is she saying?

Mercedes: So you know what I'm going to do? I think I'm due for a holiday. I'm going to go out on top. I'm going out on my own terms. I'm boarding the first flight out of this cesspool. Maybe I'll enjoy drinking tequila on a beach somewhere. And as I'm watching the sunset, people will want to hear those stories of how great I was in this industry. As of right now, I hereby announce my retirement from Sin City Wrestling.

Simone: WHAT?

The crowd erupts in a mixed reaction as they don't know whether to cheer or boo.

Mercedes: That's what all you people wanted, right? I'm sure all the women in the back are jumping for joy now. You can finally breathe a sigh of relief, ladies. I've had enough. People like Team Hero, people like Amber Ryan and Andrea Hernandez have the audacity to disrespect me. But the worse of it is from all of you people in the arena!

As she says "arena," Mercedes points to the crowd, who respond to her with loud boos.

Mercedes: You people seem to forget who I am and what I've done. The sacrifices that I've made in this company. If anything, I've been extremely loyal to SCW over the years and my consistency has been second to none. I have blazed a trail for every woman to follow. I am the shining example of what every woman strives to live up to, the gold standard of this company!

Mercedes cracks a smile, walks up to the ropes and leans against them.

Mercedes: I have my whole life in front of me. I'm not coming to perform for people that do not care about what I do when there is no benefit for me. The owners only care about the paycheck that hits their bank account. I'm not going to stand for being disrespected by the locker room. They're not passionate like me. I've sacrifice my entire body, my entire life, every night for no reward, not even a thank you. And now to get berated every week? I'm leaving and I'm never coming back.

The crowd starts chanting the "Hey, hey, hey, goodbye" song, which doesn't faze Mercedes one bit.

Simone: I can't believe what we just heard.

Adams: What is going on here, Bindy? Has Mercedes lost it? Retire? She can't do this.

Simone: I think she just did.

Just as Mercedes is set to exit the ring, Christian Underwood's music hits. Mercedes freezes as she look towards the entrance ramp. Christian walks out to the entrance with mic in hand.

Simone: And here comes SCW co-owner Christian Underwood. If I was Mercedes right now, I'd probably want to take back everything I said.

Christian doesn't even wait for his music to die down before he joins Mercedes in the ring.

Christian: And where do you think you're going?

Adams: Uh-oh.

Mercedes: Christian, hi! You're looking good tonight. You've been working out?

Christian: Cut the crap, Mercedes. You know something? You're brave to be saying such things — valiente or muy estupido.

Mercedes: Excu-

Christian: Did I say you can talk?

Mercedes: It's a free count-

Christian: When you come to work, it isn't. This isn't a democracy. Everybody can't do what they want. I am the law. If I say jump, you say how high. If I say run, you say how far. If I want you to jump on one leg, you jump on one leg. It's amazing how you and I have never met face to face like this, Mercedes. I like to think you know what happens when people get out of line. I thought you were one of the good ones, but you just HAD to wake up and choose stupid today. You think you can just walk away? Well, I've got news for you, cupcake: you're under contract, and that means a commitment. A commitment to me, a commitment to SCW, and a commitment to all these people here tonight.

The crowd cheers.

Christian: You may be a two-time Hall of Famer, and deservingly so, but I'm still your boss. I'm a little tight on time, and patience. So, to save you from further embarassment, and from me having to deal with you myself, here's where I stand, and I suggest you listen because I'm only going to say this once.

Mercedes: No, you listen! You listen, alright? Staying here for much longer would be toxic to my health, which is more important than any threat you can come up with. I couldn't care less about these people. That locker room don't mean anything to me. I'm better than this, I'm better than them. So, those bitches in the back and all these ingrates in the arena made my job real easy. I'm walking away, Christian. I'm done, I'm gone, I quit, I'm out of here. And the best thing is, I'll never have to see these people again. Change my mind.

Christian: Challenge accepted. How does this sound? You can forget about walking out on your own terms because the only terms that are important here are mine: if you don't show up for your match tonight and at Into the Void, I will sue you for breach of contract and take you for every cent you got.

Simone: Christian is known to drive a hard bargain, but I doubt this is one Mercedes can't get out of.

Mercedes: Being tied up in court versus wrestling another week. Decisions, decisions. I think I'll take my chances.

Mercedes' music starts up again and the Hall of Famer exits the ring unwavering in her decision as Christian calls after her to no avail.

Adams: I can't believe it. Did Mercedes just retire from SCW?

Simone: I think that's exactly what happened, Jason. Unless Ms. Jon can find a replacement, it looks like the tag team match between The Zdunichs versus Ms. Jon and Mercedes is now a handicap match. This can't be good news for Ms. Jon.

Adams: Oh, it's not Ms. Jon I'm worried about. Could you imagine what Crystal and Seleana will be in for once Ms. Jon and her manager finds out her tag partner just bailed on her? She's going more angry than she already is.

Simone: it appears Mercedes Vargas has reached her breaking point. To say that she's calling it a career tonight just weeks away from a supercard would be an understatement.

Adams: Come on, Mercedes, there's still time to reconsider.

Mercedes begins a pageant queen's wave at the crowd to the sound of boos mixed with a smattering of applause. She then blows a kiss at the crowd then Christian Underwood as the scene fades.




Justin: The following Bombshells contest is scheduled for one fall.

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: Introducing first, from New York City... BELLA MADISON!

Adams: Bombshells action kicks off tonight with a qualifier for the Queen of the Day match and Bella Madison is certainly trying to make her way back up the ladder. Coming into this thing, you can tell she has been frustrated with things lately...

Simone: She had her one world title shot, couldn't get it done and it's been a struggle since then. Perhaps the failure to get a Roulette title shot may have put her over the edge? We'll see if she can channel some frustrations throughout this match in an effective way here...

The lights dim as pink fog starts to take over the entrance ramp. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard begins to play over the speakers as the lights brighten up. Pink pyro begins to cascade down from the tron as Candy comes bouncing out holding Fluffy. She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before getting in the ring and bouncing around some more.

Justin: Her opponent, from Malibu Beach, California... CANDY!

Adams: Candy hasn't had the best of it lately. Alicia Lukas got her revenge on her and then she was a victim of Tempest last week.

Simone: You have to wonder if her confidence is broken after that Tempest match. I mean... if even Christian Underwood of all people is feeling sorry for her. Still, at least here, Candy is facing a familiar foe

DING DING DING!

Right off the bell, Bella darts toward Candy. Candy tries to catch her with a spin kick, but Bella is able to duck it. Bella grabs Candy from behind and she takes her down with a back suplex. Bella gets up and Candy does the same. Bella isn't happy to see her stand up so she comes at her and knocks her down with a clothesline. Candy gets up again and then Bella decides to give her a knee to the gut followed by a snap DDT. Bella is showing a little more anger as she gets back to her feet. She drags Candy back up to a vertical base before she picks her up and takes her down with a scoop slam. Bella goes for the cover...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Bella sits up, unhappy. She grabs Candy and tries to drag her back up, but Candy is quick to elbow her in the gut. Bella doubles over and then Candy knocks her into the ropes with a forearm. Bella comes off of the ropes and then Candy picks her up and takes her down with a back body drop. Bella is able to get back to her knees, but then Candy comes at her with a running knee to the chest. Bella goes down and then after that, Candy is quick to turn her over. She hooks the leg and goes for the cover...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Adams: It's a bit of a back and forth so far, but at this point, Candy is in control.

Simone: Candy should just be happy that she isn't dealing with Tempest again. Still, she can't be nice especially against someone like Bella who really comes into this thing with some frustration...

Candy gets up and takes a moment to go to the top rope. She waits for Bella to stand up. Once Bella stands up, Candy leaps and attempts a senton. However, Bella is able to catch her in midair and then counter with a flapjack. Candy clutches her chest and then Bella applies a sleeper hold to her from behind. Candy struggles to breathe and Bella doesn't help matters by dragging her back up to her feet and then hitting a reverse swinging neckbreaker. Candy rolls away clutching her throat and Bella doesn't give her time to breath as she drops down and pins her...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Bella gets back up again and she goes to the top rope. She attempts a moonsault, but Candy is able to move out of the way. Bella gets back up but Candy darts at her and pummels her with right hands until she pins her against the corner. Candy then drops down and gives Bella a monkey flip causing her to crash land on the mat. Candy then gets back to the top rope. When Bella gets back up, Candy dives and attempts the senton again, this time connecting with it. Candy immediately props back up and then she runs off the ropes and nails a springboard moonsault right into a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Adams: So far, this has been a back and forth match with neither Bombshell really taking advantage for long.

Simone: They definitely know each other's games right now. We'll see if Candy can stay in control.

Candy decides to stay in control by applying a rearnaked choke. Bella struggles to breathe, but she's close enough to the bottom rope to grab it. Candy lets go and then drags her back to her feet. She whips her off the opposite ropes and then nails her with a leaping knee strike to the chest to take her back down. Bella is still able to get back up, but Candy nails her with a roundhouse kick right to the side of the head. Candy drags Bella all the way to the corner, then grabs the top rope, bounces off the second rope and nails Bella with a reverse corner slingshot splash right into a pinfall attempt...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Candy is able to stay determined. She drags Bella back to her feet and whips her off the opposite ropes again. However, Bella surprises her by countering with a running cross body. She stays on Candy and repeatedly punches her in the face just to show off some anger. She gets back up and sees Candy get to her knees. Bella darters right at her and she is able to nail her with a shining wizard right across the chest. Bella then drags her up, only to take her down with a tornado DDT, after which she makes a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Adams: Candy did take control of the match there, but Bella turned it around real quick and unleashed some heavy aggression there.

Simone: That type of attitude is something that can make you Queen of the Day if you're able to keep it up. For her sake, this attitude is probably the best one she can have.

Bella gets back up. She waits for Candy to do the same and when she does, she knees her in the gut and she is able to take her back down with a bulldog. Bella stands up again. Candy is crawling on the mat and then Candy comes back at her and gives her a running kick to the chest to knock her down again. She drags her back up, gives her a knee and then takes her down with a vertical suplex. She gets back to the top rope and goes for the moonsault again and this time, it hits. Bella stays on her for the cover...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Bella stands up, still showing some frustration. She drags Candy back up and has her set up for the Whiplash, but Candy is able to block it and shove her back into the corner. Bella lets go and stumbles out of the corner. Candy grabs her and then nails her with a floatover DDT. Candy shows some determination on her face as Bella gets back to her knees. Candy delivers a couple of kicks to the chest, then rears back and gives her a running knee kick right to the chest. Bella goes down and then Candy turns her over. She gets to the top rope and connects with a diving frogsplash right into a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Adams: Candy has regained control of this match now. She's definitely been calm and cool throughout.

Simone: Candy appears to be taking advantage of Bella's aggressiveness. Bella is trying to finish this as quickly as possible and that may be throwing off her focus...

Candy gets up and Bella doesn't take too long to do the same. At this point, Candy leaps and then knocks over Bella with a tilt-o-whirl headscissors. Bella bumps off of the ropes and after that, Candy is quick to knock her down with a double knee backbreaker. Bella kips back up and she drags Bella back to a vertical base. She gives her a knee to the gut and then turns around and nails Bella with a running snapmare right near the center of the ring. Candy is all fired up as she turns Bella over and hooks the leg...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Candy looks a bit surprised following that kickout. She is able to get back up. She patiently measures Bella who is slower to get to her feet. Once she does, Candy goes for the Death by Chocolate, but Bella is able to duck it. Candy spins back around and then Bella quickly nails her with the Bella Aube combination. Following that, Bella wastes no further time getting the Bella Notte right near the center of the ring!

Adams: The BELLA NOTTE is locked in!!!! Candy's in trouble! She's got a long way to go before she can get to the ropes.

Candy struggles and does the very best that she can to get to the bottom rope, but her progress slows down. Bella breaks the hold, but this is to drag Candy all the way to the other side of the ring and lock the Bella Notte in again.

Simone: OUCH! Forget it... it's only a matter of time now...

Candy STILL tries to break free, but with the ropes completely on the other side, she completely fades. Candy gets one last rush of energy, but with the ropes being way too far, she has no choice but to tap out...

Justin: The winner of this match and advancing to the Queen of the Day match... BELLA MADISON!

Adams: Well, Candy definitely gave it a fight, but at the end of the day, Bella was more aggressive and that's what got her the win.

Simone: She's definitely got her work cut out for her as far as the Queen of the Day match is concerned, but for now, I'm sure she's just happy to get there!




Goth is seen backstage with Melissa, the two are talking about his match as he notices the camera and smiles

Goth: Welcome folks, welcome to the new and improved Goth!! The man that you haven't seen for nearly a month now!! And who to thank?? Nobody else but the nice people of Sin City Wrestling.

He chuckles as he shakes his head

Goth: Now I am aware, you must be thinking. Goth?? You are on the payroll of Sin City Wrestling, why in the hell are you so mean to the bosses?? Like I care, I am just showing the same respect that they have been showing me for how long????

His demeaner has changed all of the sudden, causing some of the crowd to start booing him.

Goth: It's alright though, you see. You will be granted to an extraordinary moment. A moment where I will be facing not one, but two men that will be teaming up against yours truly. And is that fair?? No of course it is not, but that's okay. Because I will turn that mental frown upside down!! And I will overcome all the odds that they will stack up against me.... And then??

Goth turns his attention towards Melissa and smiles

Goth: Then it is your turn Jack....

With that Goth and Melissa walk off




The scene opens backstage where we see one of the two participants in tonight's Roulette Rules Bombshell Division match Jessie Salco getting ready for an interview with Pussy Willow.

Pussy: Jessie coming up next you are facing Kat Jones in a Roulette Rules match, Kat is set to challenge Diamond Steele for the Bombshell Roulette Title at Into the Void XI but Kat has said that if you beat her tonight she won't object to you being added to the match.

Jessie: She did but that's ultimately in the hands of the bosses, win or lose, and we both know that they've been less than willing to budge from their plans for years.

Pussy: True but if that does happen, what will your thoughts be?

Jessie: As I said during my promo, my first title win was the Bombshell Roulette Title and with retirement staring me down? Would certainly be a nice bookend to my career.

Pussy: How can you say that when wrestlers like Mercedes and Myra have years on you?

Jessie: Mercedes was never a pure high flyer and Myra is more of a ground based wrestler but me? I've been wrestling the same high risk, high reward style since I was eighteen and I turned thirty two this year! The injuries have been piling up and unless I change up my style soon? I don't have much of a shelf life left.

Pussy: And you think it's too late for that?

Jessie: I'm not exactly getting any younger, let's put it that way! But in any case, I have a match to win if you excuse me!

Jessie walks off once Pussy nods and the scene fades.




Jasmine St. John steps through the ropes, readying herself to officiate what will surely be a unique and rare opportunity.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the special Handicap match!

The crowd cheers!

Adams: Oh boy! I can't remember the last time we ever had a Handicap match in SCW!

Simone: It's only been done once before and involved the Bombshell tag team Azz n Class...

Adams: Belli! Language!

Simone: ... **sighs**

Justin: About to enter the arena, standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 239 pounds!!!

The words fade as we hear the Church bells cling before the guitar riff starts playing along with the choir singing. The music builds up to where finally Corey Taylor can be heard. The name Goth emerges upon the titan tron, but the man only walks out after Corey Taylor can be heard screaming the words: "I'm finally holding on to letting go!!" As explosions go off on the side of the entrance stage. Goth stares at the crowd as his fiancé Melissa emerges behind him.

Justin: Currently residing from Manhattan, New York!!! He is the King of Kings!! Goth!!!!

Goth lifts his head upwards to the ceiling while extending his arms, a smirk emerges upon his face as he listens to the mixed reactions. After a few seconds he looks back ahead of him towards the ring walking slowly, totally ignoring the fans who are trying to touch him as he walks to the steel ringsteps. He gets on the ring apron before opening up the top and middle ring rope for his fiancé Melissa as she steps through them. He then steps in the ring and stares down his opponent/awaits his opponent as his music slowly fades.

Adams: Christian really doesn't play favorites when someone annoys him, does he?

Simone: Indeed not! It doesn't matter if it's a popular Bombshell such as Adrienne Beaufort or a mega-heel Superstar such as Goth. Goth questioned not being booked and everyone immediately took one giant step back, knowing what was to come.

Justin: And his opponents...!

"Party Hard" by Andrew W.K. blasts through the speakers, causing the crowd to go into a frenzy. Wasting no time, Jamie shoves his way through the curtains. He raises his arms in the air, pumping up the fans before jogging sideways to the left side of the crowd. He leans back to get a shot with the fans cheering behind him, some pat him on the back. He then dashes over to the other side, slapping hands as hard as possible before jogging down the entrance ramp.

Justin: Introducing first! From Saint Louis, Missouri, weighing two hundred and forty five pounds - Jamie Staggs!

He rushes up to the cameraman and purposely bangs his head against the lense before quickly working his way around the ring, playing around with the crowd. He darts up the ring steps, posing before entering the ring, and running all around the ring with airplane arms before stopping in the middle of the ring with one last pose.

Adams: Wow! Jamie Staggs! A former SCW World Tag Team Champion!

Simone: And a perennial thorn in the side of, well, EVERYBODY, down in Sin City Underground!

Justin: And introducing his tag team partner...

The camera switches to the stage but moments pass and nobody emerges from behind the curtains...

Justin: Introducing his tag team PARTNER!

More moments pass and Jamie looks back and forth between the stage and Goth.

Adams: Well who IS it??

Lights go down as "Shorty Bounce" by Lil Wayne starts up.

Adams: No WAY!

Justin: On his way to the ring, from Oakland, CA, standing at 3'11" and weighing in at 165lb, he is... "Shorty" Deviiiiiin Tyyyyyyyyylerrrrrrrrrrr!!!

As the lyrics start "Shorty" Devin Tyler comes out onto the stage, shuffling across the stage with swag. He stops center stage and throws his arms out to the side and spins around twice as he bounces down to the ring. "Shorty" takes the bottom rope to help pull him up onto the apron. He steps under the bottom rope and bounces around the ring with his arms out at his side, welcoming whatever reaction he gets.

Adams: Shorty! Shorty Devin Tyler! A Blast From the Past finalist!

Simone: And saying that is evidence enough that "Shorty" Devin Tyler can not be underestimated for his size alone. That man has been in the ring with the likes of the White Wolf Fenris!

Adams: Look at Goth! Look at Goth!

Goth indeed looks incredulous at "Shorty" standing across he ring from him, at the side of Jamie Staggs! The ring veteran points at Shorty, exchanging words with Jasmine who can only shrug. Jamie is all smiles as Shorty looks ready to get busy inside of the six-sided ring! Jasmine steps back as Goth looks exasperated and the official calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Goth steps out of his corner as do Shorty and Jamie both. Jamie and Shorty separate and go different ways, as Goth turns from left to right to keep an eye on both. The MUCH larger Goth then turns and shakes his head as a cocky and confident Shorty steps right up to him, hands on hips an d beckons him to come on and "bring it." Goth holds his arms out with a frown on his face and shakes his head.

Simone: I'm not altogether certain Goth wants any part of Shorty... or at least, competing against him.

Adams: Goth has done some things that would make the Bogey Man run and hide during his time in the ring, but this might be too much, even for him.

Goth tries to turn away but Shorty grabs him by the arm and swings him back around, refusing to be ignored or taken lightly. Shorty beckons Goth down with a wag of the finger. Goth rolls his eyes and obliges, and Shorty BITCH SLAPS the veteran heel across the face!

Crowd: OOOOOO!!!!!

Adams: Shorty, are you CRAZY!?

Simone: Shorty is a trained professional wrestler! He is not going to be ignored or disrespected!

Goth stands upright, absolutely fuming while holding his cheek! He whips his hair out from his face and nods - then LUNGES! Shorty scrambles right through the larger man's legs and hops up behind him! Goth spins around, a snarl on his face and he swings low but Shorty ducks...

Adams: Easily enough!

Simone: Jason!

Shorty then D!ck Punches Goth right in the -- bojangles!

Fans: OOO!!

Adams: Oh that HAD to hurt!

Simone: And Jamie Staggs had Jasmine distracted! She didn't see it!

Indeed not as Jasmine's back was turned and she did not see the low blow! Goth is lurched over, clutching himself and Shorty grabs an arm and tries to send Goth into the corner with an Irish whip but the brakes are put on.

Simone: Um... yeah! I do not think that is going to work!

Goth just stands there and shakes his head "no" as Shorty tries again - and again! Goth then counters with a reversal and practically THROWS Shorty into the near corner! The effort making Shorty jump onto the middle turnbuckle! Goth then turns and smiles in a sick and twisted way and he charges right at the smaller man but Shorty brings both feet up and connects flush on Goth's face! Goth staggers back, holding his mouth - and Shorty grabs a handful of his long hair and jumps off, landing a Tornado DDT on the SCW Hall of Famer! The crowd comes ALIVE!

Adams: He did it! He DDTed Goth!

Shorty scrambles on top of Goth and hooks the leg!

Simone: If Shorty gets the win here, Goth will never be able to show his face in the ring ever again!

Jasmine turns away from Jamie and sees the pin! She dives down for the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Jamie Staggs grabs Shorty by the boot and pulls him off of Goth!

Simone: What on Earth!?

Adams: Jamie you tool! What are you doing!?

Shorty is sitting on his posterior, staring up at Jamie in surprise with his arms held out! Jamie shakes his head and points down toward Goth and then at himself! Shorty gets to his feet and starts arguing with Jamie, trying to explain to Staggs...

Simone: Jamie... Jamie thinks this is a Triple Threat!?

Adams: Oh bloody hell...! Jamie! Shorty is your partner, not your opponent!

Jamie looks out to the commentators, then looks to Jasmine who confirms what everyone else is telling him! Jamie closes his eyes and runs both hands down his face as Shorty shakes his head at Jamie ins disbelief! Jamie pleads for forgiveness from Shorty and holds his hand out for a fist bump, and Shorty huffs but extends his own fist to oblige - when Goth is back on his feet and he levels Jamie with a running big boot right to the side of the head!

Simone: Those two were so caught up with Jamie's error, they forgot all about Goth!

Adams: And if there could ever be a bigger mistake, I don't know what it could be!

Jamie tumbles back and over, landing in the corner in a seated position! Goth turn around and Shorty charges at him but Goth holds him at arm's length with a hand on his forehead! Shorty swings mightily but obviously is unable to reach!

Simone: Oh this is just embarrassing!

But then Goth REALLY gets mean and he grabs Shorty by the throat ad head butts the smaller man! Shorty crashes to his back and the fans boo the act viciously! Goth cares little about the negative crowd reactions, especially so as he literally steps ON Shorty and over him, crushing the smaller grappler beneath his two hundred and forty pounds! The crowd boos as Goth then turns and drags Shorty up by his throat and pants and moves in and HURLS him right at Jamie - Shorty acting as an unwilling cannonball right between Staggs's legs!

Simone: Payback for the low blow that Goth suffered from earlier!

Adams: But Shorty delivered it, not Jamie!

Simone: A fact lost on Goth, I am certain!

Goth boots Shorty out of the ring, beneath the bottom rope and to the ringside floor and then goes to work on Jamie, stomping a mudhole in Staggs! Jasmine counts against him...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And Goth breaks just long enough before moving back in and pressing a boot heavily against Jamie's throat, choking the life out of him as Jasmine counts again!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And AGAIN Goth breaks before he can be disqualified! Jasmine reprimands Goth who argues back in the official's face!

Simone: Careful Jasmine! I don't think Goth is in the right frame of mind right now!

Adams: Considering the humiliation Jamie and Shorty have been inflicting on him, BIG surprise!

Goth then drags Jamie up by the arm and lays him right back out with a short-arm clothesline! He pulls Staggs up a second time and a second short-arm clothesline! Goth drags him to his feet and Irish whips him into the ropes he catches him on the rebound and throws him over with the Gothplex! The impact sending Staggs bouncing across the ring! Goth walks over menacingly and drags Jamie up and sends him into the far corner but as Goth races in after him, Jamie leapfrogs back over him! Jamie grabs him around the waist from behind but Goth reverses their position! Goth runs Jamie into the ropes but Jamie holds on! Goth tries to pull him free - and Jamie kicks a leg back up between Goth's legs!

Adams: AGAIN! Another low blow!

Simone: And this time it was Shorty distracting Jasmine from seeing it!

Goth sinks to one knee in absolute agony as Jamie runs into the ropes and comes flying off with a low sliding kick to Goth's head, laying him out flat on his back! Jamie then calls out to Shorty and his party scales the corner! Shorty gets to the top and Jamie grabs him for an assist and LAUNCHES him for a tadpole splash on Goth! Shorty rolls off as Jamie springs to the top and HE then jumps for a frog splash on Goth as well! Jamie stays down and Shorty jumps on his back for the double pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-KICK OUT!

Adams: Damn! Damndamndamn! They almost got the win!!

Jamie then grabs Goth by the legs and steps through, turning him over into a sharpshooter as Shorty sits on Goth's back for a modified Dragon Sleeper!

Simone: Oh dear god! If somehow they make the Hall of Famer submit...!

But Goth absolutely refuses and he manages to reach back and grab Shorty and throw him off! Jamie then quickly releases Goth and as Goth begins to rise, Jamie jumps on his back with a double foot stomp, driving him back down face first! Jamie then rolls out of the ring...

Simone: Now where is he going...?

And Jamie begins to rummage beneath the ring apron, searching for something!

Adams: And what is he doing??

The answer comes easily enough as Jamie drags a ladder out from beneath the ring! The crowd loves it!

Simone: Jamie can't do this! He'll get them disqualified!

Adams: Even Shorty doesn't get what he's up to!

Jamie slides the ladder inside of the ring, despite Shorty AND Jasmine's objections and warnings! Jamie then sets the ladder up on a vertical base and - he starts to climb!

Simone: What on Earth...!?

Jamie reaches the top and reaches up - then pauses with a confused look!

Adams: Now he thinks this is a LADDER Match!?

Jamie looks absolutely confused, looking left and right and to all corners of the stadium as Jasmine and Shorty both shout for him to get down! But he does not need them to tell him so as Goth is back on his feet! Goth grabs the ladder...!

Adams: Uh OH!

And Goth heaves the ladder over, tipping it over! Jamie falls into the ropes and he bounces on and OVER them, landing heavily on the ringside floor!

Simone: Oh dear lord! What a terrible fall!

Adams: Now Short is alone with Goth!

Shorty turns around, fully ready to fight - but Goth lays HIM out with a running big boot! Goth then drags him up to his feet from behind and locks in the Gothic Dream! Goth falls back and wraps his legs around Shorty's body, cinching the hold in completely and tightly! Shorty struggles like a true fighter but Goth holds on tight and soon, the struggles cease! Jasmine checks Shorty and calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner! GOTH!!

The crowd boos as Goth releases Shorty and throws him over, standing up as Melissa joins him in the ring and raises his arm in victory as the crowd voices their displeasure!




Cut to the Climax Control backstage interview location that is set up for tonight's event. Ms Rocky Mountains stands by with the Blast From The Past X finalists Myra Rivers, and Max Burke.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Please welcome at this time two individuals that are challenging for championships coming up at Into The Void XI. Myra, Max thanks for taking the time out to speak with me.

Max: Of course! Happy to do it.

Myra: We're definitely happy to have the opportunity to express ourselves, no doubt.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: You've both successfully won opportunities to guarantee your spots, and challenge for titles coming up in Athens. What's your mindset going in?

Myra: For me? It's quite simple. I'm not focused on the past anymore. I'm not focused on overcoming past failures or past mistakes. I've learned exactly what I needed to learn from them and I've moved beyond them. The mindset is focusing on what's in front of me and that's going to be Roxi. On her own, she's going to be tough. I already know that. But, this time around? I'm making my own cause easier. You think I'm harping on those previous two matches we've had? Spoiler. Not the case. I know I'm in a better place now than I've ever been. As I showed when I won the title shot, I wasn't letting ANYONE deny me and with all due respect to Roxi, I'm not letting HER deny me either...

Max: This is my return to the Roulette division. It's my first opportunity to square off with either champion or challenger in tonight's main event. Whoever raises that championship title over their head at the end of the night, I'll be out there watching with vested interest. It doesn't matter if Finn successfully defends, or Bill Barnhart is able to reclaim the Roulette Championship. At Into The Void XI, it doesn't make a lick of difference where the wheel stops. I'm walking out of Athens as a two time Roulette Champion. I can't wait to step back onto the playground.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: We're a few shows into our tour of Greece. What's been some highlights?

Myra: Aside from what's been going on inside of the ring, this tour has been a blast. Max and I have developed a closer friendship since the tournament ended and that's been great but on top of that, I've gotten to know Ben and Fenris a little bit more too. It's been nice for me since I mostly keep to myself... or at least I did prior to the tournament. We hung out after shows, had a few drinks... well, the GUYS have anyway...

Myra pauses for a brief chuckle.

Myra: But it's little things such as building up some camaraderie like that, that can make a tour even better. I'm touched that the guys seem to like me so much and that we're all getting along great.

Max: Couldn't have said it better. This tour has been reinvigorating for me. Killer matches every show, fantastic friends, food and drink. You can't ask for much more. Speaking of Ben and Fenris, it's about time to head out there, and support them. Hopefully, we'll be able to crack this bottle of Tentura in celebration a little later on.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Best of luck to both of you at Into The Void X.




The scene opens backstage, where we see Pussy Willow standing in front of the roulette wheel with Jessie Salco and Kat Jones standing either side of the wheel.

Pussy:: Ladies and Gentlemen... I have with me Jessie Salco and Kat Jones whose match will be contested under roulette rules. I will spin the wheel to find out what this match will be.

Pussy grabs the while and gives it a gentle pull to spin. The wheel spins around zipping past the usual hardcore match, Street Fight, tables, TLC etc... it quickly begins to slowly before stopping on...

Pussy:: This match will be an object on a pole match... and the object will be a kendo stick.

Jessie and Kat nod before walking away, as the camera fades out on the roulette wheel.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall and are under roulette rules. This match is a kendo stick on a pole match. Introducing first...

The arena cuts to black as the slow guitar intro of "Blood Lightning" by Lutharo is heard over the PA System, right as the song launches into the opening guitar solo the lights start to flash across the arena before a single spotlight shines on Jessie headbanging to the song.

Justin: From Miami, Florida, please welcome Jessie Salco!

Jessie posses at the top of the ramp just as the clean vocals of Krista is heard over the PA before she makes her way down the ramp, Jessie rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd again as the song fades.

Justin: and her opponent...

"Release me"

The two words from the Public Address system in the arena cause the fans in attendance, already on their feet, to react with disdain and unappreciative shouts. Kat Jones,, badass Cincinnati native of ill repute methodically makes her way to the top of the ramp from the gorilla position. Her black shorts and knee high boots are more characterizing of her facial expression and attitude toward the scathing crowd, than her highly decorative top full of self expression.

Kat walks toward the ring, methodically and without much concern at all, regarding the insults and jeers thrown in her direction.

Justin: "Making her way to the ring, hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, standing five feet, eight inches tall and weighing in at one hundred twenty eight pounds, she is the "WildKat"... KAT JJOONNEESS!!!"

Standing before the ring apron, Kat removes her black leather jacket, whips it behind her, releasing it and allowing it to sail toward the ramp, ultimately letting out a bloodcurdling scream, before she enters the ring and awaits for the match to begin.

The ref moves in and indicates for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

Jones and Salco look at the hanging kendo stick before returning their focus back to each other, where they circle the ring before locking up in the centre of the ring, where they jockey for position as they move about the ring before coming back to the centre of the ring and Kat quickly counters into a headlock. Jones rises back up, as Salco looks to find a way out of the headlock before throwing a forearm into Jones' side, which forces Jones to release her grip as Salco hits another forearm shot, which Jones fully releases as Salco pushes Jones away, who bounces off the ropes and as she comes back, she hits a shoulder block on Salco.

Simone: Jessie and Kat eye the kendo stick that hangs in the corner before returning their focus back to each other, where she lock up and jockey for position, which Jones is the first to get on top and locks in a headlock on Salco, but Salco is quick to fight back as she hits a couple of forearm shots to Jones' back.

Adams: Jones has no choice to release and Salco pushes Jones away towards the ropes but when she comes back she hits a shoulder block on Salco.

Salco goes down to the mat, as Jones looks down at Salco before turning and bounces off the ropes as Salco quickly rolls onto her front, before Jones leaps over her and Salco is quickly back to her feet and as Jones back from hitting the ropes opposite, Salco hits a sling blade sending Jones down to the mat. Jones and Salco quickly climb back to their feet, as Jones rushes Salco and takes a wild swing but Salco ducks and leaps up across Jones' back hooking her arms and dragging her down to the mat and goes for a pin...

Adams: Nice sling blade from Salco as she evades Jones. They are both back to their feet as Jones takes a wild swing at Salco. but she ducks and leaps up and drags Jones down to the mat for a pin...

ONE!

KICKOUT!

Jones kicks out with ease, as she and Salco get back to their feet and as Salco approaches, Jones catches Salco with a mule kick, which drops Salco back down to the mat, Jones grabs her and pulls her up and whips her across the ring and as Salco bounces off the ropes she leaps up and hits a tilt-o-whirl headscissors take down. Jones quickly climbs back to her feet, however, a little disorientated as she turns and approaches Salco, Salco leaps up and grabs Jones and rolls her up for a pin...

Simone: She only gets a one count, as she and Jones are back to their feet and Jones stops Salco with a mule kick, before grabbing her and she sends Salco across the ring and as Salco comes back she hits headscissors, which disorientates Jones and she rolls her up for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Salco quickly climbs to her and moves to where Jones and pulls her up, where she Irish whips Jones into the ropes and as Jones comes back, Salco hits a spinning heel kick, which sends Jones down to the mat. Jones crawls away to the corner holding her face, Salco moves to where Jones its and pulls her up to her feet and drags her from the corner, where she lifts her up and hits a body slam before going for another cover...

Adams: Jones kicks out, as Salco isn't too fazed by that and moves to her feet and picks her up and sends her into the ropes and as Jones come back Salco hits a spinning heel kick and floors Jones, but Salco isn't done, and she moves to Jones and grabs her and hits a body slam before going for another pin...

ONE!

KICKOUT!

Salco shakes her head before climbing to her feet, where she looks up at the Kendo stick and moves to that corner, where she begins to climb but Jones is back to her feet and grabs Salco and drags her off the turnbuckle and rope and she spins her around, she delivers a hard forearm shot, which rocks Salco, and she rolls from the ring. Jones rubs her arm before looking up at the kendo stick and she makes a beeline for the ropes, where she climbs, and she is within fingertips, but Salco is back to her feet and leaps onto the apron where she punches Jones in the stomach.

Simone: Jones kicks out again, as she climbs back to her feet and decides that its time to introduce the kendo stick and moves to the corner and begins to climb but Jones sees the incoming threat and gets to her feet and drags Salco from the turnbuckle and hits a forearm shot.

Adams: Hard shot, which slows Salco and she disappears out of the ring and Jones take the opportunity to make a beeline for the kendo stick. However, Salco recovers very quickly and leaps onto the apron and stops Jones.

Jones stops reaching as Salco begins to climb the ropes, where she gets to the middle turnbuckle as Jones fires back at Salco and they begin to trade shots back and forth with both trying to reach up and grab the kendo stick with little luck. Jones and Saco trade a few more stiff shots before Salco climbs to the top turnbuckle and holding onto the pole she grabs the Kendo stick and pulls it off. Jones pushes Salco off the turnbuckle, which at the same time unsettles her own balance and they fall off and crash to the mat below.

Adams: Salco and Jones brawl in the most dangerous location, as Salco manages to grab the Kendo stick but drops it as Jones pushes Salco off the turnbuckle but in turn unsettles herself and they fall to the mat, hard.

Jones and Salco lay on the mat more shaken than anything else, as Salco is the first to move and climbs to her feet as Jones also moves and gets to her feet and they both lean on the apron and look at the kendo stick on the mat. They both reach out and they both grab the kendo stick, and a tug of war begins, however, Salco lets go first and Jones stumbles backward.

Simone: That looked painful, however, the adrenaline spurs them on and get back to their feet, where she then proceed to have a tug of war with the kendo stick.

As Jones recomposes herself and smiles that she had the kendo stick, she fails to see Salco come rushing around the corner and hits a running dropkick and Jones is launched backwards into the barriers and drops the kendo stick. Salco picks up the kendo stick and proceeds to attack Jones with it and connects with her head and legs and arms. Salco throws the kendo stick back into the ring before grabbing Jones and pulls her up, where she rolls her back into the ring and goes for a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Adams: Salco hits a running dropkick on Jones, catching Jones off guard. Salco proceeds to deliver shot after shot on Jones before throwing the stick into the ring rolls Jones back in as well and goes for a pin but only gets a two count.

Salco shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet, where grabs Jones and pulls her up and looks to where the kendo stick is, and she pulls her close and hits a snap suplex onto the kendo stick. Jones arches her back in pain, as Salco gets back to her feet and grabs the Kendo stick, where she delivers a couple of shots to Jones' head before kicking her in the chest. She lays the kendo stick down across Jones' chest and Salco turns and moves to the turnbuckles, where she climbs them and looks down at Jones before leaping off for a Swanton bomb, but Jones moves and Salco hits the mat hard.

Simone: Salco gets back to her feet and hits a snap suplex onto the kendo stick. But she isn't done and uses the kendo stick a few more times on Jones before turning and climbs the turnbuckles for a swanton bomb but Jones moves and Salco crashes and burns.

Jones places a hand on the kendo stick and uses it to pull herself up, as she ignores the pain from the kendo stick shots but rubs her back and then her chest, as she sucks in some air. She stumbles over to Salco and proceeds to use the kendo stick over and over and over before throwing it away and she grabs Salco and pulls her up and hits a snap DDT.

Adams: Jones is back to her feet with the assist of the kendo stick, and she moves to Salco, where she goes HAM on Salco with the kendo stick before hitting a snap DDT.

Jones isn't done and she picks Salco up once more and sets up and hits the INSANITY STRIKES: (Swinging leg hook fireman's carry slam) before going for a pin...

Simone: Insanity strikes.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Adams: She is done.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Kat Jones.

Jones' music hits over the p.a, as she rolls off Salco and slowly moves to her feet and then towards the ropes to lean on as the ref raises her arm in victory.




We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are taken to the women's locker room. The cameras show us two women sitting on different sides of the locker room getting ready for their match. One side it is Seleana and on the other side it is her wife Crystal. Brittany Williams along with her wife Halo both who are the daughter and daughter in law of the two look at one another. Brittany shrugs her shoulders as she walks over to her mother as Halo walks to the opposite side of the ring to check on Seleana. Brittany looks right into Crystal's eyes as she speaks to her.

Brittany: So tonight is an exciting night mom... Finally after not really competing since Blaze of Glory you get to wrestle and actually get to team up with Mama Sel to face Mercedes and Ms Jon. How are you feeling?!

Crystal just sits there dumbfounded as she has a clipboard in her hand. She slowly looks up and looks right into Brittany's eyes as she shrugs her shoulders.

Crystal: To be honest I can't wait until this match is over and done with. The ONLY thing on my mind is going to Into The Void and getting the Internet Championship match that I won. This is just a meaningless stop on my journey to get there, and I would rather focus on what Masque what have instore for me soon.

Brittany: That all sounds good but how about teaming up with Mama Sel?! Tonight it's about the Hollywood Angels and...

Crystal looks at her daughter venting loud to her knowing Sel can hear her on the other side of the room.

Crystal: As far as Crystal HILTON is concerned... She is only focused on her Internet Championship match. Nothing else matters... Maybe Christian and Mark should have flew in Zenna for this match seeing as Seleana would rather TEAM UP WITH HER SISTER THAN ME!!!

Crystal just shakes her head.

Crystal: But... It's honestly fine... I am Crystal HILTON and I am always ready to steal the show on my own... I am used to it by now.

Halo just stares over at Crystal, unable to believe what she's hearing.

Halo: Mama Sel?

Seleana just shrugs sadly, her voice low and mournful sounding.

Seleana: Let her speak, She is the star and she does not need me.

Crystal stands up as she walks past Brittany and over to Halo as she looks at her daughter in law.

Crystal: You are an amazing daughter. You can tell your mother in law CLEARLY she doesn't need me. I don't know anything about the WILDSIDE. After all, I don't care in her eyes. She never bothers to ask me to team up. She rather just be complacent with her sister, and doesn't even consider my feelings or what is going on with me.

Seleana looks over at Crystal, sadness growing in her eyes.

Seleana: That is not true, Estrellita. Aurora asked me a question and I told her the truth. I was proud of how well you and Alex did. At the same time, I was also sad to think you didn't think me good enough to be your partner. I would have been keen, but I also did not want to stand in Alex's way. You did well.

Crystal looks back at Seleana.

Crystal: Well I didn't want to ask you because I always felt like you didn't want to team with me. Every time an opportunity comes up you always run to Zenna and I have no problem if that's what you want to do. Just know I do get jealous and I am offended.

Crystal looks around the room.

Crystal: I will admit when I brought you to SCW I believe I had just unified the Internet and World Championship so I was busy. I didn't mean to put you on the backburner. It's just my singles stuff has always been top notch and I was busy with things. You think I wanna be mad at you?!

Brittany: So adorable... I feel the same when Halo goes off and does her own things when she is around her friends like Chi Chi and what not.

Halo shrugs.

Halo: We've been a team. Somebody keeps getting herself fired out of them. And I'd still do it again if we had a place to do that in but this ain't about us.

Seleana nods slowly.

Seleana: You told me we would be a team when I first came into the sport. I've been keen since you first said it. I've been waiting for it the whole time. Zenna and I became a team because you were going as a single and Zenna called me to ask if I was going with you. When she found out I was not, she asked me to go with her. I would have gone then if you'd asked me.

Crystal nods slowly as she walks over to Seleana and sits down next to her.

Crystal: And I do want you by my side. I always do... It is just sometimes I am not really the best at expressing myself or my feelings. We need to be on one accord. Tonight we are going to be on the same side. What are we going to do when the bell rings because I honestly have the same type of vibes when we were at war with one another from a few years ago. I rather not go down that path. I rather us really work this out and for us to be on the same page... I love you babe... Sometimes all of this can be quite emotional.

Seleana: I know. I cried myself to sleep last night because you did not want me anymore.

Crystal hugs Seleana as tightly as she possibly can as she looks into her eyes.

Crystal: And I definitely was a bit angry. I will admit the whole Crystal HILTON stuff was to make you upset but... I don't even like that name and you should know that. I enjoy being a Zdunich and I wouldn't go about changing all of my legal stuff to Zdunich if I didn't like being attached to you and all of the stuff that comes with it. I love you babe and you are the most important thing in my life. More than anything else. I... It's just hard to express that!

Seleana: I love you, Estrellita. Por siempre.

Crystal stands up as she looks at Seleana.

Crystal: Tonight let's take care of Mercedes just like we always do, and God forbid Ms. Jon finds her way into the ring... I will make sure I tag you in... I mean... I know you can handle it right?! Right?!

Brittany laughs.

Brittany: That's code for my mom is a chicken!

Brittany begins to laugh as she looks over at Halo.

Crystal: I am not afraid! It's just well.... Nevermind.... On a side note I want you at my side Seleana and I really want you to be my manager. Let's support each other and I want you front row and center when I beat Masque at Into the Void!

Seleana: I am with you until the end!

Crystal: Good now let's go out there and win a match shall we?!

With that the two women smirk as he head out of the locker room and towards the ring.




Standing by backstage with Ms. Rocky Mountains, the first thing you notice is that smile. It is a kind of smile that is almost bone chilling because it is a smile that says something, particularly something wicked is about to happen. When Martin Howe III is standing before you in his impeccable powder blue Armani suit with his brutish client Ms. Jon lurking not far behind it definitely feels like something wicked is about to happen too. Despite all of this, Ms. Rocky Mountains is a professional and jumps right in, undaunted.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Martin Howe III, with their inevitable clash coming between the two at Into the Void XI, Mercedes Vargas and your client Ms. Jon will be teaming up to take on the team of Seleana and Crystal Zdunich. How do you feel Ms. Jon will be able to mesh with Mercedes to be successful against the Zdunichs tonight?

Martin Howe III: Good evening Rocky, and to answer your question, the quick answer is ME. See, Ms. Jon doesn't do anything unless I tell her that it needs to be done. So if I have determined that meshing with Mercedes tonight to tear apart the Zdunichs, then that is what Ms. Jon is going to do.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: So you are not at all concerned that Mercedes and Ms. Jon might not be able to function as a tag team tonight?

Martin Howe III: Don't answer for me, because I never said anything of the sort and it makes me angry when I am misquoted.

Howe looks to his client behind them.

Martin Howe III: Ms. Jon, when someone makes me angry, how does that make you feel?

Suddenly Rocky does appear very uncomfortable as Ms. Jon starts snarling behind her, breathing right down her back. Howe immediately puts a hand on Ms. Jon's shoulder to calm her down.

Martin Howe III: So you see Rocky, it's in your best interest not to anger me, because you certainly don't want to anger Ms. Jon. I am not sure what she might do if she became unhinged, which is why tonight is perfect for her. It is anything goes. I don't know who made that decision but I would just like to thank them. Do I believe that Mercedes and Ms. Jon will be able to function as a tag team?

Howe snickers at the thought.

Martin Howe III: It would say probably not, because Mercedes does not know how to listen and pay attention to me. We have already witnessed that in the past in the triple threat match between my client, Mercedes, and Seleana. However, in a match where there are no rules, Mercedes and Ms. Jon do not have to function as a tag team in order to be successful. They just need to destroy their opponents to the point that they are incapacitated and I feel that they can do they that without functioning as a tag team and be successful in this match. So tonight, because we are given the gift of anything goes, you are given the gift of being able to look into the future. Because Mercedes, when you look at what is left of the Zdunichs after this anything goes match I want to understand one thing...

The camera pans uncomfortably close to Howe's face which is no longer smiling.

Martin Howe III: Your. Time. Is. Coming. Tick-tock. Now then, let's go Ms. Jon.

Howe and Ms. Jon walk off while Rocky just stares, her bottom lip quivering.




Simone: Well, this is certainly a unique situation, our next match was advertised as a tag team match between Ms. Jon and Mercedes Vargas against Crystal and Seleana Zdunich but with Mercedes suddenly announcing her retirement earlier tonight Ms. Jon has been left to fight two former World Bombshell Champions in a Handicap Anything Goes Match!

Adams: Ms. Jon has proven that she can take on two opponents at once, this whole rivalry between them started with a Triple Threat Match that pit Ms. Jon against Seleana Zdunich and Mercedes Vargas but this is the first time Ms. Jon will face two women who will be working together, and as Belinda said, she's facing two former World Bombshell Champions.

Simone: This should be interesting, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: Err, ladies and gentlemen, this next contest was originally scheduled to be a Tag Team Anything Goes Match but due to unforeseen circumstances, it is now a two on one handicap anything goes match!

Justin shares a disbelieving look with Jacob but the ref merely shrugs his shoulders in response as Ms. Jon's manager Martin Howe III with a microphone.

Martin Howe III: Good evening, my name is Martin Howe III, Primary Partner for the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. Tonight, I give to all of you my client, standing at 6 feet and weighing 272 pounds, she is one of the most destructive forces in all of wrestling, here is Ms. Jon!!

The peaceful tones of "The Day the World Went Away" by Nine Inch Nails engulfs the arena as Ms. Jon comes out from the back and is led to the ring by Martin Howe III. Ms. Jon pays no attention to the crowd along the way, focused only on the destruction that she is about to cause. Getting inside the ring, Ms. Jon simply goes to her corner, waiting for the massacre that she is about to unleash to begin while Martin Howe III screams instructions from the outside.

Simone: Ms. Jon looks undaunted at having to fight two women at once.

Adams: Why not? She weighs more that Crystal and Seleana combined!

Justin: And her opponents!

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 walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on.

Justin: First, from Halmstad, Sweden, "The Cat" Seleana Zdunich!

Simone: This isn't the first time Seleana has gone up against the mammoth known as Ms. Jon but this is the first time she's teamed against Ms. Jon.

Adams: And with her estranged wife as well, this will be interesting.

Justin: And her partner!

The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.

"YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!"

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.

Justin: From Los Angeles, California she is "The Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich!

Smile Bomb by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains.

Simone: Here she comes, Crystal Zdunich, one of the most controversial figures in the Bombshell Division! However, you can't deny her talent or accomplishments and she is set to face Masque at Into the Void........

Adams: Sorry to interrupt Belinda but Ms. Jon just clotheslined Seleana right out of her boots!

Indeed, before Crystal can even make it to the ring Seleana's head is nearly taken off by a massive clothesline courtesy of Ms. Jon! Crystal dispenses with the theatrics and rushes down to the ring before heading to the top rope, Jacob calls for the bell as Crystal leaps off the top rope for a High Cross Body only to get caught and subsequently Powerbombed onto Seleana before Ms. Jon goes for a pin on both women.

DING DING DING!

ONE!

TWO!

And the Zdunichs kick out!

Simone: Ms. Jon and Martin likely concocted that plan when Mercedes announced her retirement earlier tonight!

Adams: And it almost worked but you're not going to keep two former World Bombshell Champions down that easily!

Crystal rolls out of the ring following the simultaneous kickout by both her and Seleana leaving her estranged wife to take a further beating from Ms. Jon who puts Crystal out of her mind for the moment as she stomps away at Seleana, after a while Martin yells at Ms. Jon o stop as he reaches under the ring to retrieve a steel chair not realizing that this whole time, Crystal has been retrieving weapons from under the ring and setting them up, including a table which she slides into the ring, still Martin slides the chair to Ms. Jon and his instructions couldn't be clearer.

Simone: I'd hate to imagine what Martin wants Ms. Jon to do to Seleana with that chair!

Adams: Ms. Jon's destructive enough without a weapon but Crystal has something in mind!

Ms. Jon picks up the chair intending to use it on Seleana but it gets grabbed from above her head by Crystal (who is perched on the middle rope to make grabbing the steel chair easier for her) and a tug of wat ensues between the wo Bombshells! At first it seems that Ms. Jon will be the clear winner of the tug of war because of her strength advantage but Crystal stands her ground long enough for Seleana to weaken Ms. Jon's stance with a dropkick to the knee allowing Crystal to yank the chair from Ms. Jon's grasp! Crystal then tosses the chair to Seleana who whacks it across Ms. Jon's back sending the massive woman stumbling forward and allowing Crystal to hit her with a Tornado DDT!

Simone: Some unique double team offence from Crystal and Seleana but it worked!

Adams: It's an anything goes match so why not use weapons on Ms. Jon? And come to think of it, who is the legal woman on the Zdunichs' side? This isn't tornado rules!

Simone: I don't think they had a real chance to establish that due to Ms. Jon's sneak attack on Seleana and Crystal rushing down to the ring to try to save her!

Crystal and Seleana seem to realise this as well but they decide to leave it until they get their first pin on Ms. Jon and yes, they both go for a simultaneous pin on Ms. Jon!

ONE!

TWO!

AND MS. JON POWERS OUT OF THE PIN SENDING BOTH SELEANA AND Crystal FLYING!

Simone: GOOD LORD! JUST HOW STRONG IS MS. JON?!

Adams: I don't know but I'd love to see a weight machine competition between her and some of the strongest male wrestlers on the roster! In the meantime, Crystal's gone over to Martin!

Crystal uses the opportunity to march over to Martin and confront the lawyer about his constant interference and it soon gets heated, Jacob sees this and restores order by threatening to evict Martin from the ringside area if it continues, back in the ring Seleana is doing what she can to maintain the advantage on Ms. Jon including setting up the table that Crystal rolled into the ring previously, presumably to put Ms. Jon through it via a high flying move! However, she takes too long setting up the table and this gives Ms. Jon a chance to clobber the Swedish Bombshell from behind! Ms. Jon then sets Seleana between her legs presumably to send her through it but Martin points out Crystal on the apron to her and Ms. Jon gets a different idea, laying Seleana across the table and going over to Crystal.

Simone: Ms. Jon has evil intentions for the Zdunichs!

Adams: When HASN'T she had evil intentions! Wait, who's that coming through the crowd?

Whilst that is going on inside the ring a mysterious masked women (no, not Masque) is making her way through the crowd and attempts to jump the barricade, the security staff at the arena do their jobs by stopping the woman from jumping the barricade and the camera pans away as she argues with them (in a distinctly Latin-American accent), back in the ring Crystal stuns Ms. Jon temporarily with a leaping kick from the apron and then heads to the top rope! Unfortunately for Crystal she didn't stun Ms. Jon long enough as SHE JOINS Crystal ON THE TOP ROPE!

Simone: What on earth is Ms. Jon up too?! This is the first time we've ever seen her climb a turnbuckle!

Adams: Yeah that's definitely playing more to the strengths of Crystal and Seleana!

We quickly get our answer AS MS. JON HITS Crystal WITH AN AVALANCHE POWERBOMB SENDING ALL THRREE BOMBSHELLS THROUGH THE TABLE!

Simone: OH MY GOD! Is there anything left of that table?!

Adams: Are Ms. Jon and the Zdunichs even conscious?!

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

All three Bombshells seem to be down for the count from that move but Ms. Jon comes too for a double pin on both Seleana and Crystal!

ONE!

TWO!

And the Zdunichs kick out! In the meantime, the masked woman has been allowed past the barricade and hops onto the apron reaching out for a tag to Ms. Jon.

Simone: Err, I guess that woman is Ms. Jon's replacement partner?

Adams: This is the first I've heard of it, and come to think of it, that accent did sound awfully familiar when we heard her arguing with the rent-a-cops!

Ms. Jon gives the newcomer a wary look and even Martin seems confused by her sudden appearance! However, this distraction gives Seleana and Crystal enough time to recover and Seleana grabs Ms. Jon from behind whilst Crystal Superkicks Ms. Jon allowing her partner to German Suplex Ms. Jon using the momentum and Seleana bridges for the pin! But there is a slight delay as Jacob finally establishes that Seleana is the legal woman and forces Crystal to go to their team's corner before counting the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And the mysterious woman breaks it up! Seleana and Crystal shoot Jacob a look but he only shrugs before pointing out that even if the mysterious woman isn't Ms. Jon's partner, it's still an anything goes match!

Simone: The Zdunichs have taken full advantage of the anything goes stipulation to maintain the advantage over Ms. Jon, it's about time it backfired on them!

Adams: Even then, Jacob seemed just as confused as they were and he's been with SCW since 2013!

Whilst Jacob and the Zdunichs argue Ms. Jon gets in the face of the masked woman (well, masked face but still) but Martin assures Ms. Jon that they can trust her, even sliding a chair to her from under the ring, Ms. Jon nods before turning her back on the masked woman to taunt the Zdunichs.

THE MASKED WOMAN HITS MS. JON IN THE BACK WITH A CHAUR!

Simone: WHAT THE HELL?! DID THIS EPISODE JUST TURN INTO A LATE 90S WRESTLING SHOW?!

Adams: Even the opposition seems confused by this!

Crystal and Seleana are sharing the same "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED" look as Ms. Jon shrugs off the chair shot and slowly turns her attention towards the masked woman, Martin is clearly losing it at this point as he yells obscenities at the woman before Ms. Jon practically drives her through the matt with a chokebomb! The mysterious woman rolls out of the ring and Seleana quickly tags in Crystal while directing traffic with Crystal grabbing the chair the mysterious woman dropped and Seleana grabbing another chair.

Simone: Ms. Jon had better return her attention to her opponents!

Adams: Which one? At this point her opponents may as well be the Zdunichs and the masked woman!

Before Martin can even realise what's happening Seleana and Crystal take it in turns whacking Ms. Jon with their respective chairs not even giving the massive woman a chance to recover or Martin a chance to interfere until he eventually rolls the masked woman back into the ring alongside a table to try to salvage the situation, however it's too little to late as the Zdunichs stack the chairs on top of each other before Seleana hits the Katoga onto the chairs allowing Crystal to hit the Rose Prism Power!

Simone: Rose Prism Power AND the Katoga! Ms. Jon is out!

Adams: Stick a fork in Ms. Jon, she's done!

Crystal goes for the pin on Ms. Jon!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners, Seleana and Crystal Zdunich!

Simone: Seleana and Crystal overcame the power of Ms. Jon but not without the assistance of that masked woman!

Adams: Speaking of whom, to quote my favourite Simpsons Character: Ha-ha, I'm in Danger!

The Zdunichs leave the ring to celebrate their huge win and after a few moments Ms. Jon starts to stir, Martin gets on the apron and points at the masked woman clearly blaming her for the loss.

Simone: I think Martin believes Ms. Jon would've won the match if it weren't for the masked woman!

Adams: That is a safe bet in my book, Ms. Jon had the match well in hand before she showed up!

Following Martin's instructions Ms. Jon sets up the table in the middle of the ring before grabbing the masked woman and going to Powerbomb her through the table however as Ms. Jon gets the masked woman up for the powerbomb the masked woman sprays a perfume into the much larger woman's eyes forcing Ms. Jon to let go and allowing the masked woman to clothesline her over the ropes and too the floor allowing the masked woman to follow her out! They begin a brawl which takes them up the ramp with Martin in hot pursuit.

Simone: I think that's the fastest we've seen Martin move since Ms. Jon made her debut!

Adams: He's a lawyer, it's not like he's used to strenuous activity!

The two women eventually stop at the top of the ramp teetering dangerously close to the edge, after a few moments the masked woman gets Ms. Jon up on her shoulders for a move of some kind stunning everyone in attendance but a cheapshot from Martin and Ms, Jon's weight puts an end to that!

Simone: That's going to be a fine for Martin!

Adams: Are we sure that woman works for SCW though?

Ms. Jon uses the opportunity to get the woman in a chokehold so that her face is facing the camera before forcibly removing the mask REVEALING THE MASKED WOMAN TO BE MERCEDES VARGAS!

Simone: Off course, this was Mercedes's plan all along!

Adams: Either that or the shortest retirement in wrestling history! And that's really saying something!

Martin grabs a mic from a stage hand as he glares at Mercedes.

Martin Howe III: Come out of retirement already Mercedes? Well then.......

Mercedes manages to secure a quick kick to Martin, unfortunately for him Mercedes's foot lands firmly between his legs.

Simone: And that's a fine for Mercedes!

Adams: I don't know, I think Mercedes just did the next generation a favour!

Martin Howe III (in a pained voice): If that's how you want to play it? Fine, we'll see you at Into the Void X!

MS. JON SETS MERCEDES UP FOR A POWERBOMB OFF THE STAGE!

Simone: NO! NO!

Adams: SHE'S A HALL OF FAMER! PUT HER DOWN!

Martin Howe III: IF YOU MAKE IT THAT IS! SEND HER TO HELL!

MS, JON POWERBOMBS MERCEDES VARGAS OFF THE STAGE!

Simone: OH MY GOD NO!

Adams: GET THE EMTS OUT HERE NOW!

Martin is laughing like a madman as Mercedes lays unconscious off the stage! The evil duo make their leave as EMTs rush out to get to Mercedes!

Simone: I can't believe what we just witnessed! Mercedes has never been the friendliest Bombshell but she didn't deserve that!

Adams: Will she even make it to Into the Void?!




Backstage, a cameraman moves along the hallway where he films a bombshell stretching out. The woman turns to reveal redheaded Sam Marlowe with her small jacket open over her ring gear. She smiles as the cameraman can be heard asking if she had anything to say about her match.

Sam Marlowe: Oh sure..I definitely wanted to talk about tonight and the fact that I am facing Alicia Lukas. I know what she has been saying about me and you know what, she's right.

People that had been walking by and stop at that comment. Sam looks around at everyone stopped.

Sam Marlowe: What? You know she can say whatever she wants and if that is her reality, then she is right in her own reality. However, her reality is not this reality. Tonight, she is going to step into the ring with me and I am going to make a tear into her reality and beat her into this one. Maybe I will lose but I am going to make her work for it. And I am coming for the win and I will not be satisfied with anything less than my best.

So Alicia, I hope you will be the challenge that you claim to be. Maybe you will and maybe you won't but trust me, I am going to be the challenge you won't be ready for. So good luck tonight Alicia, you will need it based on the way I am feeling tonight.

People once more begin to move again as Sam smiles and then turns to walk away from the cameraman. He continues to film her as she walks away.




With a determination rarely seen outside the ring, former Bombshells World Champion Amber Ryan murmurs something under her breath as she brushes past some backstage workers, standing around an equipment crate. A piece of paper seems partially crumpled in her left hand, an old flyer perhaps with details that can't be made out due to the way she tightly grips it – with gritted teeth and fiery eyes, she doesn't even notice them as they scatter slightly to allow her by.

Some of them dare to pass a glance as she marches on, however the redhead doesn't pay any attention; instead making a beeline towards a locker room that many would prefer to ignore...Before flinging the door open and tramping straight in.

Amber: You know, maybe I'm out of my fucking mind...

The statement certainly isn't in question as the redhead paces back and forth, her cadence as unpredictable and agitated as her tone.

Amber: ... But I just... It's been what – six years? Six years since... Since we met and all that time I only ever wanted to ask ... Somehow though we never managed to get there. It's been gnawing at me recently, maybe it's just this time of year – maybe it's just closure looking to come knocking but...

Amber doesn't hesitate as she thrusts the flyer towards Masque, who in this time has simply watched the redhead essentially barge in and begin ranting as though desperate to have her voice heard before being ineffectually snuffed for its inconvenience. Silence is far more telling though, speaking in volumes that Amber cannot bring herself to comprehend.

Amber: Dead Man's Hand. Why then... Why did it have to be that night? You couldn't just do it out in a parking lot or something... Why did it have to be him... You've said it yourself, there are far worse things than death and yet... Fuck, I dunno...

Running a hand back through the tangled cascade of red, Amber flinches involuntarily as words quickly escape her rapidly derailing train of thought.

Amber: It's about time for some answers. It has to be.

The bulk of a prosthetic lies on the bench, its individual painted phalanges dismantled into discrete segments arranged in parallel lines. Silver metalwork glints in the bu

ing overhead fluorescence, where gears and servomotors and rainbow-coloured electrical ribbons peak through a plastic access panel doubling up as the flat of a palm.

Dressed in a cobalt-coloured summer dress, fabric pooled around her bare feet, Masque watches Amber pace backwards and forwards. The fingers of her only remaining hand run some invisible line along the stump of the other wrist, trying to catch the shine of the titanium post cemented into the sheared bone that ends her forearm abruptly.

Masque: Please, come in ...

Reaching up, she brushes long platinum locks out from the silver-hued composite face hiding her own, except where it cuts a wide circle to leave one bright blue eye, cheek and jawline exposed and pale. Masque shifts the Internet Championship from her lap, dropping it unceremoniously down onto the floor to clatter against the cracked tilework.

Masque: You have come to ask for answers about why I did what I did?

Amber: Suppose it would be easier to question why the sky is blue and a majority of humanity is dumber than a box of rocks... But yeah. Kept telling myself for a long time that I had closure, that I grieved long enough for things I didn't know. It's not dead here though...

Amber points abruptly towards her own heart, the one many might question was only observed by a cavernous void.

Amber: More we keep dancing around the obvious, and I know that you love a good waltz, the more it keeps itching... But if I keep scratching, I don't think there's gonna be anything left to find.

Masque: I think you need to be clear ...

She reaches for her prosthetic, hesitates for a moment, pulls back and instead climbs to her feet.

Masque: I have not danced around anything, My Hurricane. I think you need to be clear ...

Bright blue eyes fixed on the redhead.

Masque: You have never asked. Six years, and now you cannot wait any longer. Do not project on me your own insecurities and doubts. Still ...

Her eyes soften as she closes the distance between them. Her stump extends and she seems to catch herself, staring down at the shining metal.

Masque: I was left-handed, you know. Your body never really forgets.

She makes to brush a lock of Amber's hair back from that intense gaze.

Masque: Still ... I can see you need answers and that you will not be ready to move on until you get them.

Gently but effectively, Amber swats the stump away before another approach can be made. Determined not to be lulled, to be manoeuvred into a space of receptiveness without question.

Amber: I wasn't ready to move on then, I'm still not now. Only question that remains is why... it's just a lot of jigsaw pieces missing to a puzzle that was supposedly complete. Anywhere, anytime – and yet it was then... To him. I doubt you've ever been a woman who acts purely upon impulse.

Amber's gaze drifts briefly to the Internet title, the lure of gold always a trigger point for the redhead – however she smoothly regains her focus and draws herself back towards the taller woman.

Amber: Not without reason anyway. So...

With a small gesture, Amber takes a seat as though preparing to stake out what might remain of a story.

Spinning on her bare feet, soft blue fabric swishing, Masque does as she's directed and perches herself next to Amber on the very edge of the bench, hand clasped with its missing opposite and folded into her lap. She looks on ahead towards the stained plasterboard.

Masque: I did something spontaneously, once. Something which gave me such a special opportunity to continue to plan my grand design and prepare the Rapture to realise its time in such a brilliant and beautiful sun ...

She pressed a forefinger to the scar running down her chest.

Masque: Oh, it was not something I should have. But while there are so many more things worse than death, that is still something to be feared. Dying. What an awful thing ...

She turns to look at Amber, her head dips down and she roughly pulls apart her hairline to reveal a ridge of twisted skin sewn closed across a section of her scalp.

Masque: Then they cut into me and fixed it so I could never be so spontaneous again. Methodical, logical, premeditated. Yes, you are correct. Nothing I do could ever be described as unexpected ... From my perspective.

Her gaze resumes its staredown with the wall.

Masque: I watched you both for some time – before Atlantic City, you know. Him? I first saw him in Texas. You? Oh, that is not a story I am ready to tell yet. But suffice to say I came to know you through ...

She tried the word out.

Masque: Fexxfield.

Her jaw set, hard. Then she smiled with a whiplash change in demeanour.

Masque: It seemed so obvious. How do you remove a so-called Gumshoe from the equation? A variable so resilient, he has survived some of the most devastating things that can befall a person without killing them. Did you know he had a wife? Such a sad end ...

She shrugged.

Masque: How do you remove something which will not be removed? Defeated? Lost? Find something he cannot be without and use it to breach the walls and torch his everything.

Another smile.

Masque: Something ...

She turned to look at Amber.

Masque: ... Like ...

A lilted laugh.

Masque: ... You.

Amber twitches reflexively, uncomfortable with the implication. Amber nods irritably as she stews momentarily before pushing up to her feet, hands immediately folding into a painfully tight clench. Pacing preparing to resume as she clicks her tongue, the recognition of reality sinking in faster than she can cope with.

Amber: You used me. To get to him... You knew what I'd do, all fucking along... Like you always seem to know, huh?!

Fiery in the eyes, Amber could feel her heart almost pounding out of her chest – contained by a fragile cage no longer equipped to hold the rush. Without hesitation or sense of self preservation, Amber lunges in and takes Masque by the front of her dress with one hand, while the other plants against the wall beside her head. Almost nose to nose, the venom practically drips from Amber's pores as her voice lowers to a dark whisper.

Amber: You... Used... Me. For absolutely fucking NOTHING! None of us gained from it, no one came away from that night any better – you waltzed the fuck in, tore everything apart and left again without ever saying anything of value. All hypothetical BULLSHIT!

Using the planted hand as leverage, Amber seemingly tears Masque from her seat like a ragdoll, there's no resistance nor return offence as they both tumble back towards the floor as Amber rolls to her knees with left hand cocked back and right hand firmly resting on the middle of Masque's sternum.

Amber: I fucking loved him – and you exploited that! YOU USED ME!

Limp on the cool tiles, Masque stares up at a whirlwind of rage and pain and sorrow with cold dispassion.

Masque: Oh, my Resplendent Hurricane ... Amber ...

The use of her name sets everything else that follows on-edge.

Masque: I am so very sorry. In my need to let you join the Rapture of your own free will, I gave you such latitude, freedom, independence ... I did not think you would wander so far down this tributary stream without finding your way back to the river. I did not think you could be this lost in pursuit of something that does not matter.

Her eyes roll up and around the room, suddenly, she smiles again.

Masque: Do you remember when I was where you were, and he was where I am? Oh, how things stay so consistent ...

She focuses back on the redhead.

Masque: All this time, all this freedom ... And you have used it to ask the wrong question. You are so twisted up by the notion of why I did what I did all those years ago, that you have not stopped to think about the answer that will truly set you free. The truth which has been desperately chasing you, unable to catch up, because you will not stop long enough to let it close the distance. Something like sympathy relaxed the portion of the taller woman's face not hidden behind silver ceramic.

Masque: The question you so desperately, desperately want to answer is not why I did what I did ...

She cocks her head to the side.

Masque: ... It is whether what you did that night, all those years ago, was the right thing to do.

As though a bucket of ice water had been poured through her nervous system, like an electric shock had jarred her back into a different reality, Amber abruptly, almost aggressively, lets go of Masque long enough to stumble back and up to her feet.

A question she'd wrestled with and answered internally a thousand times over, yet somehow the answer never really satisfied – the idea that anything she could justify would fill the void.

As quickly as Amber found her feet, Masque was back to hers and closing the brief distance with a sympathetic smile and cock of the head.

Masque: Do not be frightened, my Beautiful Hurricane, I will tell you what you need to know – want to know ...

She continues forward, hands by her side, and Amber retreats until the plasterboard leaves no room left to fall back to.

Masque reaches out, and runs a forefinger to cup the redhead's cheek.

Masque: I told you there would be a test, once upon a time. Since then, you have weighed up the events of that night repeatedly, relentlessly, in an intolerable tug-of-war between what you think you are and what you have since become – and were always meant to be. You expected my test ... But, oh ...

She runs the finger down to tilt Amber's jaw up.

Masque: You have misunderstood the date of the examination. Your choices all those years ago were never about the Atlantic City Championship you think you killed a love to win, only to lose. No, your true test, the real prize you won for the choice you made ...

Drawing her hand away, that genuine smile stays firmly in place.

Masque: Three hundred and fifty seven days. For almost a year, you built a legacy which cannot ever be touched except in the whispers of jealous passers-by and reverently by those showing the appropriate respect. What you achieved here in Sin City eclipsed anything you thought you were meant to be in the Iron Underbelly.

That made her laugh.

Masque: He had a flair for the dramatic. I liked that name.

She looked back towards the other woman.

Masque: Amber ... The choice you made six years ago led you to so many things. Championship glory. Grudging respect. Why, even your husband. In a way ...

The cock of her head increased.

Masque: I suppose you could say I introduced you two? I made a new love to replace the one that got in your way.

Amber leans in, the comprehension replaced by something akin to an animalistic snarl.

Amber: I don't think you've ever really got it.

Forcefully, Amber pushes through Masque's side and storms off without another word. Unable to find a word of a lie, but unwilling to accept that she wasn't – in some way – wrong. That it really did hinge on an obsession... A desperate need... All along.

The taller woman steps back, turned aside.

Masque: I will be here when you need me ... Just as I have always been ...




Simone: Last week it was announced that the annual King and Queen for a Day Matches will take place at Into the Void and the Queen for a Day Match promises to be the most star studded affair yet with Amber Ryan, Krystal Wolfe, Sam Marlowe, Alicia Lukas, Bella Madison already announced! We have yet to hear who the sixth Bombshell in that match will be but coming up next we will see two of those women go at it in singles competition as Alicia Lukas takes on Sam Marlowe!

Adams: Whilst we wait to find out who participant number six is, we have heard from a few of the confirmed participants, Krystal Wolfe in particular called out Alicia for the comments Alicia made about the Aussie during the lead up to Alicia's match against her friend Ariana Angelos last week!

Simone: Things are already heating up between the Queen for a Day participants and the show hasn't even reached the halfway point yet! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

"I held the power of a dying sun
I climb the altar and I claim my place as God"

"Circle with me (SCW Edit)" By Spiritbox hits as Alicia steps out with a black hoodie over her upper half with the hood up over her long blond hair. She stands on the stage and reaches up flipping the hood back and looking down at the ring before pointing her finger guns with a smirk.

Justin: Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia, she is the Strong Style Southern Belle Alicia Lukas!

She makes her way down to the ring and runs up the steps before climbing the ropes on the outside, she flips the hood back before putting her arms out , she smiles at the crowd before leaping into the ring from the outside and taking off the hoodie.

Simone: Alicia has been undefeated throughout the cycle, starting with a win over Candy in a blindfold match and continuing with her win over Ariana last week.

Adams: She won last year's Queen for a Day Match so it's a safe bet that she'll want to be the first to win the match for two straight years in a row! However, the competition is really stiff this year, including Alicia's opponent!

Justin: And her opponent!

The soft twang of an electric guitar begins to play as "She's Country" blasts out over the arena. A familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show dressed in white and gold hotpants, matching halter, short jacket and a pair of lace up wrestling boots that look like cowboy boots where she stops and looks over the crowds who begin to chant her name as Justin brings the microphone to his lips.

Justin: Introducing from Houston Texas, she has been known as SCW's sweetheart, she is Sam Marlowe!

Sam raises her arms as she is introduced. Heading to the ring, she plays to the fans, slapping hands and posing with others. Finally, she climbs the stairs to the ring apron and lays herself across the middle rope and blows a kiss to the camera and then rolls inside the ring. Walking towards the corner, she unzips her short jacket and pulls it off. Handing it to ringside staff, she turns and begins stretching out for the match as she watches her opponent.

Simone: Sam's cycle got off to a strong start with a win over Chloe Benton but since that win, she hasn't been able to get out of first gear.

Adams: In all fairness, she went from facing the rookie with the worst luck in all of wrestling history to competing in a World Bombshell Title Qualifier against Wolfe, Mercedes Vargas and Myra Rivers, Chloe's a sweetheart but she is not in the same league as those three women or Alicia!

Drew goes over the rules with the two women before calling for a handshake to start the match, Sam seems up for it as she extends her hand out to Alicia but Alicia not only refuses but responds with a stiff forearm to the Texan Bombshell's face prompting Drew to call for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: Alicia's new attitude has rubbed many of the women on the Bombshell roster the wrong way and sadly, it shows no sign of slowing down after that forearm to Sam.

Adams: No kidding, my jaw hurts from just watching that!

The force of the forearm knocks Sam back against the ring ropes facing the entrance ramp and Alicia taunts Sam practically daring SCW's Sweetheart to fire back, even offering Sam a free shot to her jaw, Sam shakes her head refusing to get into a brawl with Alicia and instead nails her with a huge standing Dropkick that does indeed nail her right on the jaw! Alicia gets back to her feet and Saw goes to follow the Dropkick up with a Hurricanrana but Alicia ducks the attempt causing Sam to land on her side and leaving her open to a running lariat.

Simone: Sam was smart to not get into a brawl with a woman so we known for her strong style of wrestling that it's part of her nickname but Sam's attempt at a Hurricanrana may have just cost her!

Adams: Alicia certainly thinks so because she's going for the first pin of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Sam kicks out! Alicia shakes her head in response before she grabs Sam by her hair before going to Powerbomb Sam only for Sam to reverse it into a Hurricanrana! The move knocks Alicia through a loop as she lands near the same ring ropes she knocked Sam against earlier in the match! Sam attempts to follow that up with a clothesline to knock Alicia to the floor but Alicia counters that by attempting to backdrop Sam to the floor! Unfortunately for Alicia Sam lands on the apron and spins Alicia around before hooking her up for a Suplex!

Simone: Sam can't honestly be trying to Suplex Alicia from the apron and to the floor, can she?!

Adams: Sam's a veteran in SCW but she's never really been known for her strength! Same can be said for Alicia whose style lends itself more to brawling!

Alicia tries to fight out of the Suplex attempt, first by firing punches into Sam's unprotected midsection and when that doesn't work she tries to Suplex Sam back into the ring but Sam holds her ground and eventually manages to Suplex Alicia onto the entrance ramp from the ring apron causing her to land just as hard as Alicia! Drew starts the ten count as the two women collect their bearings on the outside.

Simone: I'm not sure who took the worst from that Suplex from the apron and to the entrance ramp, Sam or Alicia!

Adams: A Suplex works by slamming your opponent overhead before you hit the mat, or at least the standard ones do, but with that elevated position? I'm not sure.

Drew's count reaches seven before Sam gets back to her feet first and picks up Alicia, once the Blonde Bombshell has been rolled back into the ring Sam follows her in before the redhead goes for her first pin of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

And Alicia kicks out right before three! Sam doesn't let up though as she makes her way up to the top rope but not before calling for the Sammisault!

Simone: Sam's going for the Sammisault already?!

Adams: The same mistake is arguably what cost Ariana her match against Alicia last week!

However, it becomes clear that the ring apron Suplex took more out of Sam than initially thought as she takes a lot longer to get to the top rope, to the point that Alicia is already on her feet by the time Sam reaches the top rope! Sam changes tactics and instead attempts a High Cross Body on Alicia but Alicia catches her in mid-air and calls for the Georgia Drop before hoisting Sam onto her shoulders for her finisher.

Simone: Sam had to abandon her plans for the Sammisault but it may have left her open to the Georgia Drop from Alicia!

Adams: Alicia won her last two matches with that move so why not?

Sam starts to fight the Georgia Drop almost as soon as she is hoisted onto Alicia's shoulders preventing Alicia from getting a good grip on Sam's legs and completing the move by kicking away at her, Alicia tries to change tactics by doing a rope hung variant of the Georgia Drop but Sam gets her head free from Alicia's grasp and uses the opportunity to hit her with a Tornado DDT from the top rope! The impact causes Alicia to sit up briefly before plopping down and Sam goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Alicia kicks out! Sam doesn't waste time arguing over the result and instead heads back to the top rope and goes for a Corkscrew Moonsault! However, Alicia gets her knees up causing Sam to crash and burn before she goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

And Sam kicks out!

Simone: That's two huge kick outs in rapid succession from both Alicia and Sam!

Adams: They want that all important momentum for the Queen for a Day Match!

Both women get to their feet and Sam is the first to make a move firing off a punch to Alicia's jaw only for Alicia to return the favour with a series of Muay Thai Style Kicks to Sam's chest and mid-section before spinning Sam around with a Roundhouse Kick and hitting her with a Tiger Suplex! Alicia bridges for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Sam BARELY kicks out in time! Alicia loses her cool and argues with Drew that it should've been three but Drew maintains that his count was fair as Sam uses the ring ropes to pull herself back to her feet! Alicia throws her hands up in frustration before turning around into a spear from Sam!

Simone: That spear is one of Sam's signature moves! And that one nearly cut Alicia in half!

Adams: She's not going for the pin though as she's instead going for the Sammisault again!

Sam ascends the top rope and measures up Alicia for her high flying finisher! Sam leaps for the Shooting Star Press only for Alicia to roll out of the way at the last minute! Both women stumble to their feet but it becomes clear that Sam's in no condition to resist the Georgia Drop this time as Alicia nails her with it!

Simone: GEORGIA DROP! ALICIA HITS IT!

Adams: Sam's out like a light, stick a fork in her, she's done!

Alicia goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner Alicia Lukas!

Simone: That's three matches in a row that Alicia has won!

Adams: With that much momentum heading into the Queen for a Day Match, can anyone in that match stop Alicia?

Alicia celebrates her win whilst Sam is checked on by Drew.




Climax Control cuts to the green room where an enraged Andrea Hernandez is with her personal interviewer in Angelica Romero. Angelica is understandably feeling awkward. Andrea notably has her left arm in a sling, almost as if she's in denial of what's happening.

Andrea: Unfuckingbelievable...

Angelica: Yeah... I don't think "surgery for bone spurs yesterday" was on the agenda...

Andrea: ...neither was missing the FUCKING SUPERCARD because of that. My god, I'm pissed off. It wasn't even anything that fucking idiot Bea Barnhart did. It was just... a fucking bad landing once I hit the Sedona Splash. This SUCKS, Angelica. It really does. What the hell am I going to do for Into the Void now, huh? I know I didn't have any knowledge of what my match was going to be before this curveball came at me, but NOT being able to compete? It makes me SICK!

Angelica: I don't blame you. You wanted to go in and prove yourself against someone but... I don't know. This is clearly not good. But, maybe you can make something out of it.

Andrea: Oh get that positive nonsense out of my face, Angelica...

Angelica: I'm just trying to lighten the mood and cheer you up, you know.

Andrea: GEE, THANKS! You know what? To hell with this shit. If I'm not going to wrestle at Into the Void because of this stupid little injury that I got when I kicked Bea's ass, then there's no point in even staying in Greece another day.

Andrea storms out of the green room, into the hallway. Angelica is quick to follow her.

Angelica: Andrea...

Andrea: Don't try to convince me to stay. There's no reason for me. If I can't wrestle, what's the point? Fuck this shit, Angelica... we're going back to the states... TONIGHT...

"No you're not..."

Andrea turns around and finds herself quite surprised to see Mark Ward standing in front of her.

Andrea: With all due respect sir, in case you haven't noticed, I'm injured, I can't get clearance to wrestle for Into the Void and there's no point in me sticking around. So give me ONE reason why I should stay...

HS: I've got something for you to do at Into the Void...

Andrea: What? Special refereeing the Bombshells Internet title match just to throw the end of the win streak in my face?

Angelica: Andrea...

Mark Ward just laughs a bit at this.

HS: Have you ever thought that if you had a better attitude and didn't think we were out to get ya that maybe you'd be in a better spot right now?

Andrea rolls her eyes and doesn't answer.

HS: I'm not talking about being a special referee of anything, or a special enforcer. You see, we're coming toward the end of the Greek tour and we want to make Into the Void as big of an event as we can, not just in the ring but entertainment wise as well. That's where you come in.

Andrea: How?

HS: You're going to be the official HOST of Into the Void, what do you say about that?

Andrea's eyes widen with surprise when she hears this.

Andrea: You want ME to host the event?

HS: Did I stutter?

Angelica: It's better than NOT doing anything, Andrea...

Andrea sighs and thinks about it for a few seconds.

Andrea: True... it's better than not doing anything. But hosting... I mean... would I be able to do that?

HS: Am I hearing things wrong or is the same woman that had her highly amusing "President of the Internet" shtick going for a while questioning her ability to host? I can always get someone else...

Andrea: ...you WON'T need to do that. Thank god I won't be in this stupid sling two weeks from now. You want a host? You got yourself one...

Mark has a smirk on his face before he turns and heads down the hall. Andrea takes a bit to process what just happened, still with some uncertainty of where this will ultimately go for her.

Andrea: Maybe this won't be so bad... especially since you and I both know that I CAN be entertaining... wait... what the fuck am I saying? I AM entertaining! I didn't win 'Most Hated' for nothing damn it! This can actually be quite fun...

Andrea has a smirk on her face herself, coming around on the idea.

Angelica: Whatever you say Andrea...

Angelica turns and heads down the opposite direction of the hallway, leaving Andrea amused and already thinking about the unexpected opportunity that has fallen on her lap as the scene ends.




The scene opens backstage where we see Greek-American Bombshell Ariana Angelos watching the end of her match against Alicia Lukas from the previous week, she lets out a sad sigh as the monitor shows her getting pinned after being hit with the Georgia Drop before she turns off the monitor.

Ari: My first match as an official SCW Bombshell didn't go as planned but I'm not giving up hope.

Ari comments as she walks away from the monitor.

Ari: Into the Void XI is taking place in Athens, there's still a chance that I can bounce back!

Ariana walks off as the scene fades.




Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is a tag team match!!!

"If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray begins to play across the building and the crowd turns with anticipation towards the entrance as "the White Wolf" Fenris emerges from behind the curtains with his younger brother at his side. As Aron looks on, Fenris stands stoically, looking out towards the capacity crowd before dropping to one knee with head bowed. He symbolically crosses his heart and looks 'up' in homage before standing upright and beginning his journey toward the ring with his brother following close behind.

Justin: Making his way toward the ring! Accompanied by Aron Baltasarsson, from Iceland, weighing two hundred and four pounds -- Fenris!

Despite the fans that reach out toward him, Fenris does not reciprocate and his attention is solely on the ring, whereas the smiling Aron good naturedly slaps a hand or two that extends toward him. Fenris climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron, turning towards the fans and extends his arms up and begins the 'Viking Clap.' Slowly but surely, despite any potential misgivings towards the young man, many fans join along with him in the Viking Clap. Aron holds the ropes for his brother, and Fenris steps through and continues the clap from one corner to the next, drawing in the energy of the crowd. Joined by Aron, Fenris returns to his own corner and paces like a wolf stalking his prey, kicking off his slippers to compete barefoot as the claps slowly subside.

Justin: And his tag team partner....

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

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

Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From London, England, weighing 220 pounds -- 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 opponent.

Justin: And their opponents!!!

The opening guitar riffs of "The Enemy" by Godsmack plays as the big man makes his way out. By his side is his manager, "Chronic" Chris Page. The crowd is on them from the first sounds. The booing is almost thunderous. He laughs as they makes their way towards the ramp.

They only get louder as the pair make their way towards the ring, they walk slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring.

Finally they reach the ring steps and make their way into the ring.

Mac approaches the center of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs as the boos reaches a crescendo.

Justin: Currently in the ring, weighing in at a total weight of 520 pounds!! The team of legendary wrestler "Chronic" Chris Page!!!! And current SCW Heavyweight Champion Mac Bane!!!!!!

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang as legendary Chris Page stands face to face with SCW's own Ben Jordan, the two men circle each other as they respect each ability and talent. Seizing each other up with feeling out, extending each other's arms towards them but neither men are willing to make the first move as Chris backs off. Slapping his chest and arms to motivate himself before stepping forward in an attempt to lock arms as both heads are near each other. Trying to establish position to establish momentum, Chris manages to lock Ben in a standing side headlock before that Ben pushes him into the ropes for an Irish Whip. Only to have Chris Page knock him down to the canvas with as Page runs in on him and uses his slight height and weight difference to his advantage. Ben quickly gets to his knees and shakes off the cobwebs before nodding his head towards Chris Page.

Simone: These two veterans are aware that the other can strike in an instance, that's why they are hesitant to go all out in the early stages of the match

Ben is allowed to get to his feet as Chris Page places his hands on his knees and leans forward, seizing up the situation before turning his attention to Mac Bane to give him a wink. He turns his attention back to Ben Jordan, who has gotten to his feet again and circles Chris Page before locking arms together. Trying to find some momentum on the other man as both men are spending energy to get the other in a disadvantage. Ben wraps Chris in a standing side headlock, Chris pushes him in the ropes and whips him to the other side of the ring. Chris sets himself up for a clothesline, but Ben ducks and turns around quickly. Grabs the head of Chris Page after turning around in a standing side headlock before dropping him over his hip to the canvas while keeping holding on to the headlock.

Adams: Nice counter from Ben Jordan

But Ben's advantage is short lived as Chris Page manages to slip his head out of the headlock from Ben and locks Ben into a Hammerlock from behind before pushing Ben into the turnbuckles as that forces Dawn to tell Chris Page to let go off the hold. Chris lets go and backs off, giving Ben the opportunity to turn around and continue the match. Chris places his hands on his knees and awaits Ben to come closer to him. The two lock arms once again, this time it is Ben that catches Chris in a standing side headlock, reverses it into a Hammerlock before Chris reverses the Hammerlock into one of his own and then quickly turns it into him wrapping his arms around the waist of Ben and drops him down on the canvas in an amateur wrestling position as he maintains the arms around the midsection of Ben and pulls him up to his feet before executing an overhead German Suplex into a bridge pin attempt as Dawn executes the count

ONE!

TW..

Ben manages to get his shoulder off the canvas before the count of two could be fully administered, Chris has still got the lock signed into Ben tightly, driving a few forearms into the back of Ben's neck before going for another suplex, but Ben reverses it by somehow freeing himself from the grip on him and rolls Chris up in a small package

ONE!

TWO!

Chris kicks out, Ben gets up to his feet and blocks a clothesline attempt from Chris Page, spinning Chris around before executing a reverse neck breaker on Chris Page and then goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Chris kicks out at two, immediately sits up on his knees while staring at Ben who measures Chris Page. Awaiting the next move from the legendary superstar as Mac Bane is looking on at the two combatants. Chris gets up and the two men circle each other before Chris turns his attention to Fenris for a moment or two, eyeing each other before turning his attention back to Ben who moves in on Chris Page. The two lock arms once again, trying to establish some momentum in a test of strength as both men lock hands and push their chests into each other. We see both men's upper legs shake as they are wasting quite some energy in establishing a position over the other as Chris seems to get the momentum, pushing the upper body of Ben slowly towards the canvas while still remaining on his feet

Simone: Just look at the balance from Ben!!!

Ben's head is now in contact with the canvas, Chris tries to place both hands of Ben on the canvas as he wants to use all of his weight to be positioned on Ben. But Ben Jordan manages to push his upper body back upon a vertical position and then pushes his upper body into that of Chris Page before wrapping him in a side headlock, Chris pushes him in the ropes and then whips him into the other side of the ring. Ben this time knocks Chris down with a shoulder before going to grab him for another move. Only to have Chris to move out of the way and tags in the world champion Mac Bane.

Adams: Now this is going to be interesting!!

Ben nods his head towards Mac bane as we see Chris Page step through the ropes on the outside. Mac gets right in the face of Ben Jordan and towers him as he extends his hand in the air for a true test of strength against the Cockney King. Ben looks around, knowing that he may not be able to match the champion in the strength department but isn't a man that easily backs down from a challenge. He wipes his hand dry before extending his hand towards that of the champion as the two men lock their hands into one and other. Immediately Mac establishes his superior strength by dropping Ben to his knees and pressures his hands backwards in a painful position. Ben attempts to get back to his standing position as he places his left foot on the canvas once again. We see his leg tremble from the pressure that he is being put into by the champion as he attempts to get back to a standing position. Only to have Mac maintain the grip on Ben's hands before pushing him into the ropes. There we see Ben go for a knife edge chop across the chest of Ben, who immediately retaliates with an open hand chop into the chest of the champion. The two men exchange chops in the ring as the crowd goes crazy in series of whoo chants with every chop that is being administered to the opposition. Mac goes for a punch, but Ben blocks it and kicks the champion in the midsection before setting him up for a Snap Suplex towards the middle of the ring. There he goes for the cover

ONE!

Mac Bane kicks out with authority as that sends former champion Ben Jordan being bench pressed off of his body. Ben looks on in amazement before we see Mac turn his attention to the White Wolf, pointing at Fenris as that causes the fans to go ballistic

Simone: We saw this confrontation just a week ago!!

Adams: And it seems that the fans can't get enough of these two!! Just like Mac Bane and Fenris themselves!!!

Ben tags in Fenris, bringing the White Wolf into the rign as the two men go chest to chest while staring each other in the eye. Bane shoves Fenris away from him, only to have Fenris to get right in his face once more and shoves the champion into the ropes before following it up with heavy punches to the face and chest. Bane returns the favour by chopping and punching away on Fenris as this causes the fans to jump up in excitement. Both men wrap each other's arms around the other man's head and stumble towards the turnbuckles where Fenris has the champion cornered. Fenris has wrapped his arms around the head of the champion, pushing it down as he starts to hit his body with heavy knees into the midsection. This causes Bane to stagger a little bit before being caught off guard with Fenris wrapping Macs arm around his neck and executes a Snap Suplex in the middle of the ring before rolling through and sits down on the chest of Bane. Driving series of forearm shots to the face of Bane, who has got his arms up to protect himself from the blows that Fenris is dishing out.

Adams: We knew that when these two would get in the ring that the intensity would increase!!!

Bane pushes his hands on the chest of Fenris, pushing Fenris more to a seated position before driving a knee into the back of Fenris. This causes Fenris to stop punching away at the champion as Bane gets to his knees and wraps his powerful arms around the waist of Fenris and drives him spine first into the turnbuckles before driving his shoulders into the midsection several times. Mac Bane follows it up by grabbing Fenris by the arm, setting him up for an Irish Whip but stops him dead in his tracks by an immediate short arm clothesline. Fenris wraps his hands around his throat as the arm connected across the throat as his head snapped back massively. We see a replay of the move in a split screen as Bane drops series of fist drops on the forehead of Fenris before ending it up with a legdrop

Simone: Fenris had that one scouted!!!

As Fenris had rolled out of the way at the last moment, causing Bane to connect with the canvas and has agonizing pain across his backside, implying that he had fallen on his funny bone. Fenris immediately takes control, grabbing the right leg and locks in an Ankle lock as Dawn checks in on Bane if he wishes to give in. But luckily for Bane he is near the ropes, reaching for it and grabs the bottom rope. This forces Dawn to tell Fenris to release the hold, which he does by grabbing both legs and pulls Bane away from the ropes in the middle of the ring as Bane lands on his back on the canvas. Fenris steps through as to set him up for a Sharpshooter, but Bane somehow manages to push his legs into his chest and pushes him off of him into the nearest corner.

Adams: Tag from Ben Jordan!!

Both men quickly move to Bane, taking advantage of the five second rule as Fenris wraps his arms around the midsection of Bane while standing behind him as Ben Jordan runs the ropes. Coming off with a running clothesline while in the process of the move Bane gets dropped by a German overhead Released Suplex as he crashes on his back hard. Fenris rolls out of the ring just in time as Ben covers Mac Bane.

Simone: Will this be it??

ONE!

TWO!

THRE...

But Bane manage sto kick out in just the last moment, clearly the time that Dawn took to get Fenris out of the ring before jumping to the other side of the ring to start the three count must have given Bane enough time to kick out. Ben grabs him by the arm and lifts him up, setting him up for an Atomic Drop but the much larger Bane managed to avoid the move by landing outside the set up leg from Ben Jordan before dropping him with a huge lariat that sends Ben Jordan 360 before landing on his back. Bane has enough, he grabs the legs of Ben and executes a catapult towards the turnbuckles as Ben's head hits the top turnbuckle before staggering backwards. There we see Bane that has grabbed Ben from behind and executes a Side Russian Leg Sweep before going for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

Ben gets his shoulder off the canvas, Bane grabs him by the head before pushing the head of Ben Jordan between his legs and sets him up for a Powerbomb in the middle of the ring but sees Chris Page extending his hand.

Adams: I don't know what Bane is thinking, but he is wasting important time

Bane redirects Ben Jordan towards his corner, tagging in Chris Page as Bane this time wraps his arms around the waist of Ben Jordan in a Bearhug before lifting him up in the air. We see Chris Page run the ropes one side, then towards the opposite before charging in on Bane from behind and clotheslines Ben Jordan out of the grip from the champion

Simone: The Pink and Black Attack!!!!!

Dawn watches Bane roll out of the ring before turning around to see the cover, she immediately goes for the three count

ONE!

TWO!

THRE...

Adams: No!!! Ben Jordan kicked out of that!!!

Simone: I can't believe it!!!

Neither can Chris Page, staring at Dawn asking her if it wasn't a count of three. We see Ben's eyes nearly rolled back into his head as he clearly kicked out of the pin on instinct. Chris pulls Ben up to his knees by holding on to his arm, before taking the opening that is presented to him by kicking Ben Jordan into his chest and stomach area as Dawn starts to use a five count

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Page stops the kicking as he runs to the ropes and sets Ben up for a running knee to the face. But Ben somehow managed to surprise Chris Page by exploding out of his boots with a clothesline. This causes both men to be on the canvas, Ben is clearly exhausted and really needs to tag back in Fenris. Fenris is on the corner far away from Ben as the Cockney King slowly starts to turn around by crawling towards his corner. Page is slowly moving also, noticing what Ben is doing as he grabs him by the leg and drags him back towards his corner as we see Bane extending his hand to tag himself back in.

Simone: this doesn't look good for Ben.

Page tags back Bane in, both men grab an arm of Ben Jordan and sends him spine first into their corner, bending down for a double Back Body Drop as Ben slowly staggers out of the corner. He kicks Chris Page in the face before staggering towards his corner as Fenris is extending his arm as far as he can to tag himself in. But Bane grabs Ben Jordan just inches before he can tag back in Fenris, Bane spins Ben around and sets him up for a Powerbomb, but just when Bane lifts him up it is Ben that extends his arm just far enough to tag in Fenris. Fenris gets in, watches Bane power bombing Ben Jordan in the middle of the ring before getting a knee in the face by Fenris who covers him.

ONE!

TWO!

THR....

Bane kicks out as we see Ben roll out of the ring before leaning against the ring apron and catching his breath. The camera turns back towards Fenris who drives forearms into the face of Bane, trying to cut open a wound on his forehead as Bane attempts to block the attempts of the White Wolf but fails. Fenris drives more and more forearms into the forehead before suddenly getting surprised by Bane who grabs him by the tights and falls backwards, causing Fenris to hit his head into the turnbuckles as this stops the onslaught of the White Wolf.

Simone: That was an innovative counter from Mac Bane.

Bane smiles as he slowly rises up, pulling away the hair from his face and stares at the blood that is on his hands from the cut on his forehead. He wipes his hands before driving elbows into the forehead of Fenris as he pulls his head backwards, returning the favour to Fenris for doing what he did to the champ a few moments ago. Bane tells Page to get ready as Page gets in the ring also. The two men grab Fenris by the arms and sets him up for an Irish Whip from out of their corner, but don't let go as they suddenly pulls back on the arms as that sends Fenris back into their corner before executing a double clothesline. Page steps back out of the ring, stopping the five count from Dawn as Bane starts to execute a slingshot out of the corner before walking slowly to Fenris. Grabbing him by the head as he sets him up for another move. But Fenris wraps his powerful arms around the head of Bane and executes a Jaw Breaker.

Adams: This match is getting more and more violent!!!

Fenris quickly gets up to his feet, charges in on Bane and clotheslines him over the top rope but the impact makes him follow Bane to the outside as well as this causes them to land on the concrete hard

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Both men are slowly moving as Dawn has started the ten count on them, we see both Ben and Chris Page walk over to the side of their own tag team partner to assist him where needed. Causing them to have a stare down on the outside as this only excites the crowd even more.

Crowd: This is awesome!! This is awesome!! This is awesome!!!

Dawn positions herself through the middle and top rope, warning both Ben and Chris to get to their corner as both men do so. Bane and Fenris slowly get to their feet as Fenris whips Bane into the ring apron and then clotheslines him into the apron for good measure. He rolls Bane into the ring and follows him inside the ring. Only to have Bane kick him into the shin as he sets his right foot through the ropes first, causing Fenris to fall down while holding on to the leg. Bane drags him to his corner and tags in Chris Page. Who immediately grabs the leg from Bane as the champ steps through the ropes to the outside. Page drops a few elbows on the painful leg of Fenris before turning him around on his stomach for a single leg Boston Crab and sinks in deep. Dawn checks in on the White Wolf if he wishes to give in to the painful hold but refuses. Chris Page turns the Single Leg into a standing Ankle Lock as he starts to put even more pressure on Fenris who is screaming in agonizing pain but refuses to surrender.

Simone: I wonder how long Fenris can resist to give in to the pain!!

Adams: I agree Belinda, we know that he can take a lot of pain but even he must have a limit.

Fenris is crawling to the ropes, but Page drags him back to the middle of the ring as Fenris attempts to get back to a standing position on his good leg. Reaching for the ropes or a tag from Ben Jordan, but everything is seemingly miles away. Chris lets go and sets himself up to execute a Back Suplex on Fenris before going for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Fenris gets his shoulder off the canvas on time as Chris now grabs both legs and sets him up for a double legged Boston Crab. But Fenris uses his leg strength (mostly from his good leg) to push Page off of him. Page comes off the ropes and gets caught somehow by a one legged Fenris and dropped with a Spine Buster.

Crowd: Holy shit!! Holy shit!!! Holy shit!!!

Fenris grabs his painful leg as he crawls over towards Page and goes for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

THRE...

Again this time it is Chris Page that manages to get his shoulder off the canvas in time. Both men get to their feet slowly, Fenris grabs the head of Page and sets him up for an European Uppercut. But Page manages to block it, he pushes Fenris into the ropes and sets him up for his signature move.

Simone: Judas Efffect!!!

But Fenris blocks it just at the moment that Chris Page sets himself up for the Spinning Elbow to the temple. Fenris takes a step backwards before dropping Chris with his good leg

Simone: Wolf's Pow!!!!

Chris falls backward as Fenris drags himself over to cover him while holding on to his painful leg

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winners of this tag team match by pinfall!! The team of Fenris and Ben Jordan!!!

Fenris rolls off Chris Page as he is in clear pain, Ben Jordan gets in the ring to check in on him as Bane gestures to them to be the winners as Mac Bane checks in on his friend Chris Page.




Climax Control cuts to the hallway where Myra Rivers, determination in her eyes and all, is walking. Two weeks removed from Into the Void, she's definitely got some things in mind. She's more or less going about her night as she heads into the catering area. Heading toward the refreshments table, she serves herself a glass of lemonade but when she turns to her left, she finds herself surprised at the sight of SCW Bombshells World Champion Roxi Johnson. It's a bit of a tense, awkward moment, but Myra keeps her composure.

Myra: Hey. I wasn't expecting you here...

Myra waits for a response knowing there isn't any tension between the two, but that the competitive fire between them is definitely simmering.

Roxi: Catering is pretty good, and I was a little hungry. Figured I'd grab something.

Myra: Right. Of course. Hey listen, while I have you here, there's something that you may have heard me say a couple of times but I'm taking the chance to say this face to face. I know I was one of the people that were hard on you a few months ago when you were pushing hard for the title that you have now and that was concerned about how you were going about it. But, after my own journey and after going through the four way with the fire that I had, I realized where you were coming from because I felt like I was going through a similar situation. So, I get it now... and I hope there are no hard feelings...

Roxi: Well, I think our situations were a little different, but no, there aren't hard feelings. I normally don't do things like that, but I felt it had to be done at the time, but truly, it wasn't about just winning this championship. Amber could have lost the championship to you, or to Crystal, or to anybody else really. It was, for me, more about wrestling Amber, and beating Amber more than anything else. This championship here? It was important, but it wasn't the most important thing. I mean, yeah, I wanted my one on one championship match, because I maybe get one of those a year, and I felt I had earned it.

Myra: Like I said... I get it. I suppose we come across the wrestler that we just really want to prove ourselves and overcome. For you, it was Amber. For me?

Myra takes a bit of a pause, wondering if she should say what's on her mind. Ultimately, she decides being honest is the best way to be.

Myra: ...it's you... and I mean that with all due respect. I was in a bad place psychologically when you beat me before and in no way am I using that as an excuse considering you were rolling at that point. But that loss for some reason, lit a fire in me to be better. It woke me up, Roxi. If only you knew how much it did. Then, we met again... and we drew... and I can safely say that neither of us were satisfied with how that ended. I moved forward and grew and I've done what I've had to do since then, but somewhere along the way, I had a feeling that when I became ready to challenge for that title again, that you were going to be there. I'm not surprised that we're at this point. You've grown, I've grown and I know two weeks from tonight? It's going to be a hell of an occasion...

Roxi takes a moment, nodding.

Roxi: I appreciate that. And I agree, we have both grown since that time a couple of months ago. I just hope that you understand that this championship isn't going to be handed to you, and that if you don't win it, that it isn't the end of the world. Because, if I have my way, that's what you will be looking at. If you beat me, I can accept that. You have pushed through and earned this, I don't have a problem with that part. But if I win? And, I very much plan on winning, I need you to be able to accept that.

Myra: I AM accepting of that, of all of that. I know that in the past, when I had my opportunities, I DID act like it is the end of the world and I WAS treating it like my 'last chance' and that 'I'm never going to win that title'. But, I DO plan on winning myself because I don't want to have that 'best to never win' label on me anymore. I know I'm good enough, I know I've always been good enough, and I'm not going to let one bad break or one setback define that for me anymore. I didn't let Blast from the Past do that, and that's why and that's how we're at this point. If you win, I will accept that. But one way or another, regardless of outcome? I know this won't be the last we see of each other and I know that the opportunity will come again for both of us. Good luck to you Roxi, I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Roxi nods, extending her hand for a handshake.

Roxi: I suppose we'll see. Good luck to you as well.

Myra accepts the handshake and from that point, there is a brief staredown for a couple of seconds. Roxi turns and heads her way, leaving Myra with a few moments to herself to process the conversation as the scene fades.




Bill and Bea Barnhart are standing in the hallway backstage talking with Sin City Wrestling interviewer Scott Oliver. Bill is in his wrestling attire and Bea is in her trademark blue dress she wears while serving at Bill's Manager during his matches.

Scott: How do you feel going into this rematch for the Roulette Championship Bill?

Bill: Positive. Upbeat. Excited. I'll exit the match as the Roulette Champion.

Scott: A bold statement considering you recently lost the Roulette Championship to Finn Whelan.

Bill: I've already been over that Scott. It was a twelve part match that we came out even with it. They added a final stipulation and Finn managed to get the win in that final stipulation. It was an accident on his part Scott. It would be like two people shooting at ducks in a competition and they end up with six ducks each. So they toss in one final duck and whoever shoots down that duck is the winner. Say one of the people in the tie-breaker accidentally drops their rifle and it fires and accidentally hits the duck and kills it? Does that mean they were the better shooter in the competition? Not only NO but HELL NO! That's exactly how Finn Whelan got the tie-breaker win over me for the Roulette Championship. I'll fix that error and become Roulette Champion again.

Scott: Oh, Bill, you can't be serious.

Bill: Scott you know how I am. I don't bullshit people. I don't joke around. I'm serious and I mean business in this match. Never doubt me again Scott.

Scott: Okay. Got it. Thanks for your time for this interview session. Best to you in your match.

Bill: Thanks Scott.

Bea: Thanks Scott. Please excuse us as Bill needs to get to the staging area to be ready for his entrance for his match.

Bill and Bea walks down the hallway as the camera crew returns their attention to other items.




Justin Decent: The following match is out main event of the evening...and it is a tables match for the SCW roulette championship....introducing first....

if Bea Barnhart as Manager will not be at ringside: Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed his English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner..

Justin Decent: From Lawrenceville Georgia, being accompanied to the ring by Bea Barnhart...BULLDOG BILL BARNHART

"DO YOU CROSS YOUR HEART WHEN YOU HOPE TO DIE?"

The lights dim down and cast the arena in a red glow, and for a moment -- only a moment -- the crowd quiets down just a smidge. The drum riff opening that carries into an aggressive rhythm of guitar chords breaks out as "Black Lungs" by Architects blares out over the P.A. System. This brings the crowd to their feet -- both in a positive and negative reaction, completely mixed.

The spotlight doesn't fall upon the stage, instead flowing across the crowd as the lyrics describe more than just a time in the world. Finn Whelan appears not from the curtain, but from one of the visitor entrances with a semi-cocky swagger written into his denim jeans. He stops at the top of the steps for a moment, a slight smirk on his face as he glances down at the people around him, blockaded off by the typical burly security guards. The crowd is not booing, but they're not exactly cheering either. He sets his eyes upon the ring below, and then makes his way down slowly, ignoring the people around him though a few of them clap him on the shoulders as he decends.

At the barrier, he slings himself over and slides immediately underneath the bottom rope and leaps to his feet in the center of the ring. He heads directly for the ropes in front of him, and hops up onto the bottom one, bouncing slightly as he looks back at the crowd, choosing a few choice words to share with them. e drops down from it, and pulls of his vest as he heads to his place against the turnbuckle, leaning into it and looking upwards at the stage (or conversely, at his opponent) past his brow as his music fades out..

Justin Decent: And the champion....Now residing in NEW YORK CITY. Standing 6'4 and weighing in at 201 pounds....THE SEATTLE SAINT FINN WHELAN

DING DING DING

Before Finn can get set the bell rings and Bill comes flying across the ring slamming into the champion. Finn gets pushed into the corner and Bill unloads with hard right hands over and over again. Finn shakes his head but Bill grabs him and throws him up and over with a overhead belly to belly throw. Finn crashes onto the mat and holds his back as Bill stays on the attack. Bea stands at ringside and claps her hands cheering Bill on. Bill runs forward hitting a hard kick to the side of Finns head trying to keep him down. He then turns and slides from the ring and looks under the apron sliding a table out. Bill picks it up and puts it against the apron but before he can lay it flat and slide it under eht bottom rope Finn leaps in the air and dropkicks the table into Bills face.

Bill stumbles back and Finn pops back up, he hits the opposite ropes and throws himself out of the ring with wreckless abandon hitting a suicide drive slamming Bill against the barricade. The big veteran drops to his knees and Finn stays on the attack, he grabs the table and spins it from the apron off to the ringside area as fastr as he can, the table slamming into Bills face sending him back down. Finn looks around and sees Bea moving around the corner. Finn shakes his head and steps forward telling Bea to stay back. The distraction while only momentary works as Bill grabs Finn and runs him into the ring post.

Adams: Bill made sure this match started off fast. He wants to get this over and done with after the marathon of a match these two had last time

Simone: Bill wants the championship he considers to be "his" back. And I get it, Bill has had an up and down career in SCW and the roulette title was his big moment.

Adams: Finn needs to focus on Bill, Bea will do anything to help her husband..we know thuis and honestly everything is legal...tables matches are no disqualification...the only rule is you put your opponent through the table to win...

Bill rolls Finn into the ring, he grabs the table and slides it in before looking down and pulling out a pair of chairs sliding them in aswell. He goes under the bottom rope and sets up one of the chairs in the center, he picks Finn up and sets him up for a piledriver jumping and dropping Finn headfirst sitting on the chair and flattening it. Finn is clearly out of it and Bill uses the moment to start to set up the table moving it to the corner. He leans it against the turnbuckle and turns his attention back to Finn picking up the champion and lifting Finn over his shoulder in a powerslam position.he then runs forward looking to throw Finn through the table but Finn slides off Bills shoulder at the last moment. Bill stops himself from going through the table and turns around just in time to see a stell chair get thrown across the ring and connect with his skull.

Bill drops to one knee, Finn runs forward and blasts Bill with a shining wizard. Bill goes down and Finn takes a moment to shake his head getting his vision back.

Finn pulls himself up and looks over at the table. He nods as if realizing what he should do. He pulls the table out and sets it up into the center of the ring. He then turns back to Bill, grabbing the steel chair and slamming it across the big mans back, Bill drops, he starts to get up showing just how tuff he is and then Finn steps forward and blasts him with a shot to the head. Bill falls backward landing on the table. Finn then grabs Bill and sets him up for the REVELATION 6:4 but as he hooks Bills arms Bea slides in and pushes the table away.

Simone: HEY COME ON...Bea needs to quit it.

Adams: You said it yourself she will do anything for her husband.

Bill uses the moment to hook Finn and hip toss him over. Finn lands on the mat and Bill leans forward hitting a hard knee right to the front of Finns face. Finn looks dazed and faceplants the mat. Bill smiles and nods realising now he has Finn right where he wants him. He grabs the table and sets it up, Finn though starts to get to his feet earlier than expected. Bill grabs the steel chair laying on the mat and buries it into Finns midsection, he then drops the chair, grabs Finn by the head and drops down into a DDT. Finns head hits the steel chair with a loud thud. Bill gets back up and finishes setting up the table and does a "that's it" motion before looking back down at Whelan.

Simone: It looks like Bill has something in mind. And it doesn't look good for Finn

Adams: We could have a new champion here. Finn is a tough competitor but Bulldog is a wiley veteran who is built like a bull...

Bill pulls Finn up, sets him up for a powerbomb and lifts him in the air, Finn wraps his legs around Bills head and peppers him with hard right hands over and over, he then throws himself up and over Bills back landing behind him, he spins Bill around and fires off a hard right hand that stumbles Bill, Bill then swings wildly, Finn runs under, stops and throws himself back hitting a pele kick!. Bill stumbles back again landing on the table laying across it. Finn looks to the top rope, he starts to climb, as he does he measures Bill up but before he can jump onto him Bea slides in again and pulls her husband away.

A chorus of boos reign down as Finn jumps down from the top rope, he shakes his head as Bea just shrugs. Suddenly someone jumps the barricade and slides in the ring, Bea sees it out of the corner of her eye and turns only to get blasted with the DREAMKILLER knee!. It's Kayla Richards!. She shakes her head staring at Bea as Finn questions what she's doing. Kayla smiles at Finn looking him up and down before blowing him a kiss. She then pusheas Bea out of the ring with her foot sliding out as Bea hits the outside area with a thud..

Simone: Kayla Richards?!?!

Adams: Well, she doers have a history with Finn Whelan...many people believe there to be some kind of relationship there.

Finn goes back to work now that Kayla has taken care of Bea. But Bill has also recovered. Unaware of what has happened to his wife and how Bill and Finn start throwing hard right hands as the table stays in the middle of the ring. The two men fight hard hitting each other with hard rights. Bill steps back and goes to clothesline Finn but Finn catches the top rope and lands on the apron, he slides to the side and jumps onto the second rope. Bill starts to climb to meet him and the two men stand on the ropes fighting. Bill hits a hard headbut, Finn staggers, Bill goes to grab Finn and throw him off the top rope, Finn digs a finger into Bills eye and Bill screams and lets go of Finn, Finn climbs to the top and looks like he is going to go for a sunset flip powerbomb, Bill though blocks it and gets onto the top with Finn....somewhere that Bill does not look comfortable and sure enough both men slip and fall crashing through the table at ghe same time!

DING DING DING!

Simone: WAIT..WHAT HAPPENED?

Adams: Who put who through the table? WHO IS THE ROULETTE CHAMPION?

The referee runs over to Justin, he whispers something in the ring announcers ear and Justin just nods before standing up.

Justin Decent: Ladies and Gentlemen this match has been ruled a no contest due to both men falling through the table with no clear intention..therefor STILL THE SCW ROULETTE CHAMPION...FINN WHELAN...

The camera is still focused solely on the carnage and wreckage in and around the ring, the aftermath of the SCW Roulette Championship Main Event, when suddenly EMF's "Unbelievable" strikes up across the sound system of the stadium and out onto the stage steps SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood! He is greeted in the usual negative manner, even here by the fans in Lesbos, Greece, but this time he does even dignify them with so much as a frown. Instead, his eyes are focused solely ahead at the ringside area. He has the house mic in hand as he raised one hand to object...

Christian: Oh HELL no! No no no! Absolutely not! After what these two men went through just a few short weeks ago in that Twelve Labors match!?...

He glances casually into the camera...

Christian: Which is ALREADY a Match of the Year candidate, for the record!

he then returns his attention to where it belongs.

Christian: Never, not ONCE, in the history of the Roulette division has a championship match EVER ended without a decisive winner! That was one of the reasons for the creation of the division in the first place! Matches where there HAD to be a winner so all of you out there...

he sweeps an arm around about the capacity crowd.

Christian: Would leave, satisfied! But now here -- this!? A perfect record marred!? No clear cut winner between champion and former champion!? I am NOT going to allow this to stand!

Shockingly, the crowd murmurs its agreement and Christian benefits with scattered cheers and applause.

Adams: He can't be thinking about restarting this match!

Simone: Not after what these two men put one another through! Their bodies are broken!

Christian paces briefly, deep in thought and raises a hand.

Christian: So here is what I am going to do, and if YOU...

He points offstage and toward the front row where the challenger for the title at Into the Void XI, Max Burke, is standing ringside for a close up view of whom he was to face, looks on.

Christian: Has any objections... you can see me after the show. Not that it'll do any good because my mind is made up. No. I am not restarting this match or having the officials continue. These two are hardly in any shape to do so, in any regard. What I AM going to do is give these men two weeks to rest and recuperate, and THEN ... I am going to add "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart to the championship match at Into the Void XI in Athens for a Triple Threat match!

Scattered cheers as Max's jaw almost hits the floor and the beer in his hand tilts, spilling its contents to the floor!

Christian: We are FINALLY going to get a decisive winner between these two men, while Max Burke gets his guaranteed shot at the championship! Gentlemen, best of luck! And Max...?

Christian looks back offstage toward Max and mimics the "world's smallest violin" before "Unbelievable" starts playing again and Christian disappears behind the curtain, leaving Max to throw his beer down onto the ground and he delivers a hard kick to the barricade in frustration at "his moment" being usurped!

Adams: Wow! A Triple Threat! The Roulette Championship has been made a Triple Threat at Into the Void XI!

Simone: And suffice to say Max Burke is NOT happy about this turn of events, and I can not say as I blame him! But fans, we are out of time! We will see each and every one of you in TWO WEEKS time in Athens for Into the Void XI! For Jason Adams, I am Belinda Simone! So long everyone!

Jason waves to the camera.

Adams: Byeeee!

The camera fades as credits roll.
