The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.
A spotlight then begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.
He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;
"SCW!"
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out at all of the fans filling the rows of seats. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
"SCW!"
"SCW!"
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Reno Events Center right here in Reno, Nevada, and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss and her guest - Mz. Holly Wood!
The crowd cheers as out onto the stage emerges both Amanda as well as her buddy on stage, Holly Wood - both dressed in glamorous wigs and sequined evening gowns. The music kicks off as the performance begins!
You'll understand the moment you meet?
She'll grab your hand and run from that twister
Like no one else can, just look at those feet
Amanda: Who needs a guy when you've got a best friend
Who's there when I fall flat on my rear?
And if you should die (What?), the roses that I'd send
I might even cry, but maybe not, dear
Holly: She's not that smart
Amanda: She's not that pretty
Holly: No work of art
Amanda: It's such a pity
Holly: As old as my mother
Amanda: She's quite a mess
Together:But I still love her nonetheless
Holly: You wanna go therе? Well, that's fine with me, sis
Amanda: 'Causе there isn't nowhere that she wouldn't go
I think there's a word for dames like you who don't care
You're just like the wind, and the wind loves to blow
Holly: And what exactly is that supposed to mean?
Amanda: Nothing, it simply means you're a free spirit
Holly: Oh, well, thank you
Amanda: Free as in you couldn't possibly charge for it
Holly: So, essentially, you're calling me a slut and not a whore
Amanda: You said it, I didn't
Holly: Phoning it in like you ain't even tryin'
Amanda: You're brave to sing with that cough
Holly: You're such a sell-out, but nobody's buyin'
Amanda: Keep goin' and the gloves'll come off
Holly: Her ego's as big as most of her portions
Amanda: I have less wigs than she's had abortions
Holly: She's like a volcano about to erupt
Amanda: Your face is your fortune and you're going bankrupt
Holly: Who needs a foe when they've got friends like you, bitch
Amanda: The moment I saw you, I knew it at once
Holly: Two peas in a pod, we are stuck with each other
Together:We're just a couple of friends
The crowd applauds as the two drape their arms around one another's' shoulders and smile goofily for the camera as the spotlight winks out.
The camera then heads to the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit at the broadcasters table.
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to Climax Control where the Road To High Stakes XI continues! I am Belinda Simone…!
Adams: Do you ever wonder if we’re just crazy and someone out there is writing all of this on a laptop…? I mean, I’m Jason Adams!
Simone: … Right. Fans, tonight could easily be considered a Night of Champions as we have THREE championships on the line!
Adams: And we just might be determining a challenger for another championship match at High Stakes XI!
Simone: And it all begins in tonight’s opening contest as Bea Barnhart kicks the show off going up against Candy!
Adams: Then Bella Madison returns to Sin City Wrestling after recovery from her concussion and she takes on none other than Char Kwan!
Simone: At High Stakes XI there was some harsh words from Helluva Bottom Carter directed at, of all people, Ben Jordan where many thought Carter overstepped himself by talking shade at Ben’s marital issues with one Evie Jordan. Tonight, we hopefully have things settled between the two men as they go one on one!
Adams: Then the brand new Bombshell Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos has her very first - and possibly her last - title defense as she puts the gold on the line against Seleana Zdunich!
Simone: In a High Stakes XI Eliminator match, the reigning Internet Champion Lachlan Kane goes up against Todd Wiliams in a non-title match! If Todd can pull this one off, he challenges Lachlan for the gold on October 30th!
Adams: Finn Whelan has a LIST! A list of men who has held the World Championship that he wants to test himself against and the first name is about to get checked off as he goes up against former two-time World Champion and Internet Champion, Jack Washington!
Simone: Then it’s the return match from Violent Conduct VIII as the new Bombshell Internet Champion Keira Fisher-Johnson defends against the former champion Kayla Richards!
Adams: And the main Event! It’s all or nothing for the World Heavyweight Championship! Alexander Raven proved himself when he was the Roulette Champion for almost three months and now he takes the next big step against the NEW World Heavyweight Champion - “Godly” Ken Davison!
Simone: See all of this and MORE on SCW Climax Control!
Climax Control takes the air live from the Reno Event Center in lovely Reno, Nevada…
There’s a mixed reception from the crowd as the countdown clock starts ticking down to zero before breaking into “Judas” by Fozzy bringing the sold-out Reno Event Center to its feet. Attention shifts toward the entryway where a thick white smog engulfs the curtain. The reception gets louder as seen walking out through the smoky haze is SCW's newest full-time signing; “Chronic” Chris Page.
Chris stops at the top of the ramp looking out across the Event Center.
CCP starts to walk toward the ring as the reaction is at a fever pitch between fans and haters alike. Chris Page reaches ringside, he climbs up on the ring apron where he gazes out across the crowd with a smirk on his face. Chris steps through the ropes where he calls for a microphone. “Judas” starts to fade, leaving the supporters chanting “CCP! CCP! CCP!” while the haters continue to boo.
Like him, love him, or hate him… he elicits a response.
Chris raises the microphone and starts to address the crowd.
Chris Page: Welcome to Climax Control!
The crowd caters to the cheap pop from CCP as he continues.
Chris Page: I don’t need to introduce myself because unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last thirty years you probably know the level of talent that stands in this ring before you. I don’t need to waste the time or energy with an introduction because it was a few short weeks ago that Ben Jordan…
The crowd pops huge at the mention of Ben’s name which gets Page’s attention as he acknowledges it.
Chris Page: Give the man his props because he stood in this ring with me a few short weeks ago, and while my arm was raised in victory doesn’t mean that I won’t be ready anytime Mr. Jordan wants to do it one more time.
The statement garners another ovation from the crowd.
Chris Page: I know that some of you are surprised because today is NOT October the 2nd and according to… well… Me as of last week I am not supposed to be here. All I can say is marijuana affects memory.
A smattering of laughter can be heard from the crowd while Chris laughs under his breath before then continuing.
Chris Page: Regardless of the date, pretty safe to say that effective a week ago Chris Page IS Sin City Wrestling!
More chants of “CCP! CCP! CCP!” echo throughout the Event Center.
Chris Page: I made my mission statement perfectly clear, but in the off chance you missed out on it allow me to re-enforce it. I am here for the SCW World Heavyweight Championship…
Another mixed reception is heard throughout the Event Center as Chris carries on.
Chris Page: While my goal is the SCW Championship I am not here to leapfrog over those that have already earned the rights or have put in the work; wrestling three times this year under the SCW banner hardly constitutes warranting an immediate shot, let’s be fair; however, that doesn’t mean that I can’t EARN one on my own. You see, over the last year or so there isn’t a bigger name, there isn’t a stronger force, there isn’t a needle mover quite like the man standing before you all right now. Need proof? Ask IIW.
Chris winks at the camera.
Chris Page: I said it heading into that monumental clash with Ben that my touring days have officially come to an end, and one of the many things I was doing while getting offers left and right to compete was testing the waters, I was seeing where I wanted to land on a fulltime basis because contrary to popular belief, not every federation is for everybody, you have plenty of owners looking to use your name and your likeness to put a shine on their stars regardless if they belong in the same ring with me or not, you’ve got plenty of jaded talent in our industry that think being a name in ONE place is bigger than being a name across the globe. It truly baffles my mind.
Chris slowly starts to pace back and forth across the mat while addressing the hard camera.
Chris Page: Alas I’ve landed on SCW, and now that I’m officially here it’s time to start my road to the Title, and like I said last week, it doesn’t matter if I start at the bottom, it doesn’t matter if I start at the top because my road leads to challenging and winning the SCW World Title no matter who thinks they’ve got a stranglehold on the division, regardless of which talent has the title, and regardless of how long it takes because my road doesn’t end until destiny is fulfilled.
Chris stops pacing as he pivots his attention toward the curtain leading back to the locker room.
Chris Page: I know there are plenty of hungry competitors in that locker room, and some of you might be a little pissed that I’ve shown up on what was once YOUR turf that has now become OUR turf with chips on your shoulders, and perhaps want to take a shot at knocking the face of professional wrestling off his mountain top. I welcome it. I am an equal opportunity ass kicker, so if anyone feels froggy… all you have to do is jump.
Chris redirects his attention toward the hard camera.
Chris Page: My name is Chris Page, the measuring stick just changed around here… You’re looking at it.
Chris drops the microphone as “Judas” by Fozzy starts to play once more bringing more cheers than boos while Page casually steps out of the ring and drops down to the floor. He makes his way back up the ramp disappearing behind the curtain.
We switch backstage to see Scott Oliver standing with Bea Barnhart. Bea has already changed into her wrestling attire and the look on her face lets us know she’s ready for her match shortly.
Stoner Scott: Thanks for giving me your time for this interview. So, Bea, how do you feel going into your match against Candy?
Bea: I feel fantastic Scott! I’m facing off against a fake Malibu Barbie Doll and I’m going to easily defeat Candy and move up in the rankings.
Stoner Scott: How can you be so sure you’ll defeat Candy in this match?
Bea: Because, Scott, although Candy did win the Bombshell Roulette Championship she lost is to Violet Amelia Holt who is a wrestler I’ve defeated FOUR times in FOUR matches and all by SUBMISSION! Defeating Candy this evening is going to be easy.
Stoner Scott: Okay. Hard to argue with that. Do you care to comment on the decision of the Referee in the Fenris and Senor Vinnie match to remove you from ringside while you were legally there as Vinnie’s Manager?
Bea: Just shows the cowardice of Vinnie’s opponent. I did what the Referee asked but I’m still pissed off about it and that anger is going to be directed at Candy in our match.
Stoner Scott: Why do you want to take it out on Candy as she wasn’t involved at the incident during Vinnie’s match?
Bea: Because I need to vent my anger. It’s worthless to try to vent to Referee’s, and venting to Management backfires, and I’m damn sure not going to give hell to Bill and Iris as they had nothing to do with it. But I still have the anger and I’ll release it upon Candy.
Stoner Scott: I wish you the best in your match.
Bea: Thanks Scott.
Bea turns and begins her walk down the backstage hallway to get to the staging area to be ready for her entrance for her match.
Simone: It’s time for our opening contest of the evening! Candy suffered a setback at Violent Conduct VIII when she lost to Mercedes Vargas in a Strap Match but tonight she gets a chance to bounce back as she takes on Bea Barnhart in singles action.
Adams: It’s been a while since Bea was last competing as we’ve mostly seen her in the corners of her husband Bill or Senor Vinnie, but she is very capable in the ring being a former Mixed Tag Team Champion and a perennial title challenger! Candy would be foolish to underestimate her!
Simone: This should be a great way to kick off the night, let’s take it to Justin for the introductions!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is your opening contest of the evening, scheduled for one fall!
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: In the ring, from Malibu Beach, California THIS IS CANDY!
Simone: Many have underestimated Candy but the fact that she is a former Roulette Champion who held the title for a decent amount of time shouldn’t be ignored!
Adams: And who knows? Maybe a win here would put her in contention for a shot at whoever wins tonight’s Bombshell Roulette Title Match!
Justin: And her opponent!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.
Justin: From Lawrenceville, Georgia, please welcome BEA BARNHART!
Simone: On a similar note, Bea might set her sights on the same title if she wins tonight!
Adams: This will be good! But Candy’s not going to make it that easy for Bea!
Jacob goes over the rules with the two veterans before he calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And tonight’s opener is underway!
Adams: This will be a great way to kick off tonight’s action!
Once the bell rings Bea tries to get the jump on Candy by charging in with a Clothesline but Candy counters the attempt with an arm drag! Bea rolls back to her feet and attempts a clothesline again but gets the same result only this time Candy holds on for an Arm Bar! Bea wastes little time in getting back to her feet and grabs a handful of Candy’s hair to break Candy’s hold whilst backing the former Roulette Champion to the ring ropes!
Simone: Candy and Bea have faced each other five times since they started in SCW, so they know each other quite well.
Adams: Familiarity breeds content however as Bea’s demonstrating with her underhanded tactics against Candy!
Jacob applies a five-count warning to Bea to get her to let go of Candy’s hair and she does so at the count of four before whipping Candy to the opposite ropes! On the rebound Bea ducks down for a backdrop attempt but Candy puts on the breaks before dropping Bea with a DDT in the middle of the ring! Candy goes for the first pin attempt of the night and Jacob gets into position to count the pin on Bea!
ONE
TWO…
Simone: And a kickout there from Bea as Candy goes for the first pin of the night!
Adams: It’ll take a lot more than a DDT to pin a competitor like Bea, but it makes her spend energy as Candy no doubt realized!
Indeed, Candy doesn’t seem all that distraught at her early pin attempt on Bea failing but before the popular bombshell can capitalize Bea rolls to the outside of the ring to regroup, Candy sees this and goes to give chase to the older Bombshell but Jacob stops Candy in her tracks before telling her to let him do his job, Candy shakes her head before rolling out of the ring behind Jacob’s back and chasing after Bea only to be caught with a spear! Bea takes a moment to admire her handiwork before she rolls Candy back into the ring and follows her in for a pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
And Candy kicks out! Not one to be easily deterred though Bea flips Candy onto her stomach and locks in an STF in the middle of the ring!
Simone: That STF is expertly applied, Candy’s in big trouble!
Adams: Bea might be the butt of the Bombshell Division’s jokes, but she is still a talented wrestler!
Jacob gets into position to ask Candy if she wants to submit to the hold, but Candy adamantly refuses as she tries to fight off the submission hold and instead starts crawling her way to the ring ropes, but just as she’s about to reach the bottom rope and break the hold Bea lets go so she can drag Candy back to the middle of the ring and reapply the hold with more pressure! Unfortunately for Bea Candy uses the opportunity to fight off the second attempt at the hold kicking away at Bea to loosen her hold on Candy’s leg before pulling her in for a Small Package!
ONE!
TWO!
Simone: And that’s another kick out, this time for Bea!
Adams: Her persistence in keeping Candy locked in her STF almost cost Bea the match there!
Bea gets back to her feet first and uses the opportunity to hit some quick knee strikes to Candy’s head before rounding that off with a straight kick to her face! Bea then goes for a pin making sure to grab hold of Candy’s tights for leverage!
ONE!
TWO!
And Candy kicks out despite the added leverage! Bea waits for Candy to get back to her feet and when she does Bea goes for the Bea Bulldog only for Candy to duck under it and both Bombshells subsequently collide with simultaneous clothesline attempts! Both Bombshells are down, seemingly for the count and Jacob jumps on the chance to start his ten count.
Simone: Whoever gets up first will have a huge advantage!
Adams: Candy’s faster style would suit her better than Bea’s technical style, but you are right Belinda!
At the count of seven Candy gets back to her feet using the ring ropes to help herself up whilst Bea gets back to her feet on her own power, Candy then goes for a running Hurricanrana but Bea ducks out of the way and heads to the outside to try to regroup! This time though it doesn’t go in Bea’s favour as Candy uses the opportunity to hit a dropkick through the ropes knocking Bea against the barricade and then following that up with a cross body to the outside! Candy rolls Bea back to the middle of the ring and she calls out for her finisher!
Simone: Candy’s going for the Gumdrop!
Adams: If she hits this it’s over for Bea!
Candy heads to the top rope and goes for the Gumdrop but Bea blocks it and locks in a Sleeper Hold!
Simone: SLEEPING PILL! BEA HAS IT LOCKED IN!
Adams: Candy’s fading fast, stick a fork in her she’s done!
Candy tries desperately to get out of the hold but it soon proves to be no use for Candy as Bea has it locked in too tightly and she is forced to tap!
DING! DING! DING!
Justin: Here is your winner by submission, Bea Barnhart!
Simone: Bea picks up a huge win as we continue on the road to High Stakes XI!
Adams: The champions had better keep an eye on Bea, she looks ready to win her first singles gold!
Bea lets go of the hold and celebrates her win whilst making a belt motion around her waist as Jacob checks on Candy.
Backstage, the reigning Bombshell Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos stands across from her challenger for the evening, Seleana Zdunich. And between them is none other than Ms. Rocky Mountains and the (in)famous SCW Roulette Wheel.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I am joined here right now by the reigning and soon-to-be defending Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos and her challenger for later this evening, Seleana Zdunich. Ladies, it is time to find out just what stipulation your championship match will be contested under. Are you both ready?
Both Ariana and Seleana nod in the affirmative, prompting Ms. Rocky Mountains to turn and take hold of the wheel and give it a spin. Around and around it goes, as the eyes of both champion and challenger watch, eagerly anticipating what match they will be competing under. Match stipulations such as Mud Match, Steel Cage and Hardcore Lingerie Streetfight (yes, seriously!) pass by on the wheel until it slows down and ultimately lands on…
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it! Tonight’s Roulette Championship defense will be a Submission Match! Good luck to the both of you!
Seleana offers her hand to which Ariana gladly accepts in a gesture of both good luck as well as sportsmanship before they go their separate ways.
Justin: Our next match is a Standard Rules match with the winner decided by pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification. First to make their way to the ring, she is from Reading, Pennsylvania, and she stands in at five feet eight inches and one hundred twenty-seven pounds, please give a great Reno, Nevada, welcome for THE JAPANESE SIREN, CHAR KWAN!!!
The arena goes dark as red strobe lights begin to shine. A Japanese Flag appears on the screen as "The Dark Side" suddenly begins to play over the sound system. A man steps out from behind the curtain followed by two women. The man steps to the side and Char Kwan takes center stage with her hair in a large braid. Her eyes are narrowed towards the ring while completely ignoring the crowd altogether. This arrogance riles the crowd as they erupt in a loud chorus of boos.
Adams: I have a question for you Belinda. Why is Char Kwan allowed to have Sebastian Mercer and Kiara come to the ring with her and remain at ringside yet they demanded that Senor Vinnie have Bea, who is legally his Manager, leave his last match that he had against Fenris?
Simone: Ahhh, Jason, you take the double standard route once again. Bea was guilty of helping Vinnie pull the spray perfume thing in the eyes of Fenris so, of course, they had to ensure Bea and Vinnie didn’t try that trick again. I don’t see any incidents where Sebastian and Kiara are getting involved in Char’s matches.
Char Kwan walks down the ramp with her entourage as the crowd is really letting her know how they feel about her and their noise is deafening. Char ignores the crowd while walking right up to the ring. She hops up onto the ring apron and waits for Sebastian Mercer before leaping over the ring ropes. Kwan walks to the furthest corner, climbing onto the turnbuckles and holding up a Flag behind her that shows Japan on one side and South Korea on the other. She shouts profanity at the crowd in Japanese before hopping down and leaning against the turnbuckle. Sebastian Mercer takes the flag from Char while giving her more advice while the crowd continues their negative reaction.
Justin: Next to make her way to the ring, she is from New York, New York, and she stands in at five feet five-and-a-half inches and one hundred twenty-five pounds, please give a great Reno, Nevada, welcome for BELLA MADISON!!!
The arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day’s “Shut up” begins to blare. The entrance lights up as spotlights hit the landing and the video screen comes to life. We see someone climbing up a set of stairs and we see, with each step taken, a different pair of footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kick pads.
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 apron and climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket with a smirk and a wink, as the song fades out. Bella glances over at Char Kwan before backing into a corner to glare at Char.
Adams: Bella Madison is back! She mentioned she suffered a concussion but she’s been cleared, by doctors, to wrestle and I know she is in this match to prove she’s at one hundred percent. I don’t see Char Kwan lasting long in this match.
Simone: You always predict stuff like that Jason. If we bet Ten Dollars on the outcome of every match after ten matches you will have lost Eighty Dollars and I would have won Eighty Dollars. The bottom line is you don’t bet on matches with me. And before you go into the topic Bella was recently cleared by Doctors to get back into wrestling action after a concussion. All it would take to put her Bella of action again is a few nicely placed head shots by Char.
Adams: And if you think that’s going to hold Bella back then you’re not taking everything into consideration. Bella is ready to return to the ring, she has been cleared by doctors, she won’t allow a few punches or kicks take her out, so sit back and watch her work her magic.
Referee Jasmine St. John calls Char and Bella to join her in the center of the ring. When both approach Referee St. John the Referee instructs each to stand on one side of her so she is between them. Referee St. John goes over with them that this is a Standard Rules match where a win obtained by pinfall, submission, count-out, or a disqualification. She goes on to inform the two that if they violate the rules she will take appropriate action and if the offenses occur she will call for a disqualification. She asks Bella and Char if they both fully understand how she will officiate their match and both indicate they understand. Referee Jasmine St. John then finishes up by checking both wrestlers to ensure they don’t have any weapons, foreign objects, or any foreign substances on their bodies. Satisfied that both are clean of stuff she sends both back to their corners and tells them to come out fighting when they hear the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start their match.
DING DING DING!
Both Char Kwan and Bella Madison come out of their corners and quickly charge each other and slam into each other. They start trading blows with Char trying to land as many shots to Bella’s head as she can but Bella is successfully deflecting the blows. We can see by the look in Kwan’s face that she’s frustrated at not being able to land head shots to Madison. We then see Char spin and leap toward Bella with a spinning kick aimed for Madison’s head. Bella saw the move coming and when Char’s leg approaches her head Bella reaches out and grabs firmly to the leg of Char and she twists Kwan around then slams her hard into the mat. Bella then adds a few nicely placed kicks to the leg and ankle of Char then she goes for the pin.
ONE…
Kwan gets a shoulder up and Referee Jasmine St. John raises one finger into the air to indicate it was only a one count. Char is slow to get to her feet due to the twisting of her legs at the hands of Bella. As soon at Kwan is upright Madison hits her with a clothesline that backs her into the ropes. Bella grabs the arm of Char and pulls her away from the ropes then whips her around to attempt to launch her across the ring but Kwan reverses it and launched Madison across the ring where she lands hard in the corner with her back and she drops to her knees on the mat.
Adams: That was an interesting exchange of moves and blows by both wrestlers to open this match. I’m surprised after what Bella was able to do to Char that Kwan was able to quickly recover and now it is Madison who is in the corner and hurting a bit.
Char sees the opening so she struts toward Bella but before she can do anything Madison lunges forward with a hard head-butt to the midsection of Kwan. Char bends forward from the blow but she manages to get upright quickly but when she takes a step toward Bella she is hit with a kick to the midsection then Madison grabs Kwan to execute a maneuver but Char escapes her grasp and she moves a fair distance away from Bella to comprehend things.
Adams: That was an interesting exchange and I’m not sure why Char Kwan backed off.
Simone: I don’t believe it has to do with the blows she took. I believe Char is sizing up Bella for something.
While Kwan is sizing up Madison we see Bella take a few steps out of the corner then she leans against the ropes. Char has a look on her face of both surprise and suspicion but she charges on Bella anyway. As Kwan is approaching Madison who is on the ropes we watch as Bella holds tightly to the top rope. When Char comes in full speed for what appears to be an attempt at a Clothesline to knock Bella out of the ring Madison kicks her legs out while still holding the top rope with her hands and she drags down the top rope in the process. This causes Kwan to miss hitting her with the clothesline and Char falls over the ropes where she lands hard on the arena floor.
Adams: Oh, man, that’s gotta hurt!
Simone: It didn’t appear as though Char hit the concrete floor to where it might have caused a major injury but for darn sure her ego was bruised by the fall.
Char is slow to get up after landing on the arena floor. Referee Jasmine St. John orders Bella to stay back while she administers a count on Kwan on the arena floor and Madison complies.
ONE…
Char Kwan is still trying to get to her feet but she is slow in doing so.
TWO…
Kwan manages to get to her knees and then as she is attempting to stand up she reaches back and massages her lower back.
Adams: I believe Char Kwan injured her back when she landed on the arena floor.
Simone: Either that or she is playing up on Bella Madison to obtain the advantage.
THREE…
Kwan slowly walks to the ring steps where she slowly climbs up to reach the ring apron. Char when steps through the ropes, stopping the Referee’s count, and quickly backs into a corner.
Adams: Now to find out whether Char Kwan was really injured during her fall out of the match or if she is trying to trap Bella Madison with the acting up.
Simone: I hope she is just playing it up.
Bella charges into the corner and although Char attempts to spin out of the corner she doesn’t get out of the way in time. Madison lands a hard arm to the face of Kwan before pulling her out of the corner where she places the head of Char under her arm and drops her for a DDT hard into the mat. As Kwan is trying to get a distance away from Madison we watch at Bella leaps into the air and drops onto the lower back of Char with both her knees. She then ties Char Kwan up in her Bella Notte hold which is like having several submission holds placed on you at the same time. Referee Jasmine St. John steps up and asks Char if she wants to submit and she initially says NO. However the second time Referee St. John asks Kwan if she want to submit she grunts out a YES and the Referee motions for the bell to end this match.
DING DING DING!
Adams: Good job on the part of Bella Madison!
Simone: *unintelligible muttering*
Bella releases her hold on Char as they await the official decision of this match to be announced.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the official decision on this match by Referee Jasmine St. John is that the winner, by Submission, is BELLA MADISON!!!
Referee Jasmine St. John raises the hand of Bella Madison for the win. When she drops her hand Bella walks over and kneels down to ask Char Kwan if she is okay. We see Char nod her head that she will be okay and then we watch as Bella walks around the ring to play the crowd before leaving the ring and heading toward the backstage area.
The scene opens backstage where we see Cassie Wolfe hanging about, the teenage wrestler again being a guest of her older cousin’s.
Cassie: Okay, debut for the other SCW is coming up soon, just gotta stay focussed until……..
HBCarter: You!
The Aussie teen nearly jumps out of her skin before she spots HB Carter marching up to her, Cassie regains her composure before she sees the angry look on Carter’s face.
Cassie: Carter? What’s wrong?
HBCarter: YOU are what’s wrong! What right did you have to come into my room?!
Cassie: What are you talking about?
HBCarter: After the feast in New Delhi!
It clicks in Cassie’s mind before she gets defensive.
Cassie: I had left my phone in your suite and Ari gave me her spare keycard!
HBCarter: And that makes spreading lies about me and Laz alright?!
Cassie: What lies?!
HBCarter: You told Krystal and Ari that Laz had hit me!
Cassie: I wasn’t lying Carter I know what I heard!
HBCarter: Are you sure you weren’t hallucinating from marijuana use?!
Cassie messages her forehead in annoyance.
Cassie: Okay, first off, that’s not what marijuana does! That’s acid you’re talking about! And second. I didn’t touch weed for the entire week that I spent in India!
HBCarter: And I’m supposed to take you at your word?
Cassie: My word is a hell of a lot more honest than your dickbag boyfriend!
Krystal: What’s going on here?!
Before the argument can proceed, the pair look up to see Krystal standing there, the older Australian woman has a frown on her face having apparently stumbled upon her younger cousin arguing with her friend.
Cassie: I was just minding my own business when he started yelling at me for stumbling upon Laz attacking him!
HBCarter: How many times do I have to say that I slipped in the shower?!
Cassie: How many times are you going to spew that bullshit until you realize that no one’s buying it?!
Krystal: Cass! Carter! For the love of Christ, SHUT UP!
Krystal snaps at the two younger wrestlers and they turn to her.
Krystal: Cass, you’re my guest tonight and if your keep this up, you won’t be allowed at future SCW shows unless you sign a contract with them!
Cassie: But I did!
Krystal: THIS SCW, not the one with Supreme in its name!
Cassie: And he started it!
Krystal: I’m getting to that! Carter, do you really think picking fights with a teenager is going to help your case?!
HBCarter: She clearly hallucinated the whole thing!
Cassie: And I suppose Ben and Miles hallucinated seeing those marks on your neck?!
Krystal: CASS!
Carter says nothing before he storms off.
HBCarter: If you ladies excuse me, I have a match to win!
Carter yells back and the two Aussies shake their heads.
Cassie: You know I was standing up for myself, right?
Krystal: And in doing so, you managed to make things worse, then again I can’t really say that I wouldn’t have done the same thing!
Cassie sighs in response as she turns to her older cousin.
Cassie: What do you plan to do about, well, that?
Krystal: I wish I had a decent answer, but for now all I can do is hope that a solution falls into our laps, want to grab something to eat?
Cassie: You read my mind!
The two Aussies walk off as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall… introducing first…
Glee Cast Version of “I Know What Boys Like” begins to play and Carter steps through the curtains, holding an ankle length, sleeveless black robe closed in front of him. he then whips it open, revealing his ring attire of a printed belly t, booty shorts and thigh high boots. He holds one hand behind his head while running the other hand down his body while grinding his hips to the music.
Justin: From Seattle, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy six pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!
Carter drops the robe to the stage and runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and then lays across the top corner, awaiting his opponent's introduction.
Justin: and his opponent…
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.
The ref moves in and check both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung…
DING DING DING!
Jordan steps forward and explains himself and explains the situation but Carter has his arms folded and ignores him, before Jordan offers out a hand but Carter looks at it and quickly unfolds his arms and fires in a forearm shot catching Jordan across the side of the head, which drops Jordan and he quickly rolls from the ring to the outside, as he shakes his head, as Carter spots where Jordan is and moves to the ropes and grabs the top rope and leaps over and catches Jordan with a head scissors take down. Jordan rolls away and stumbles to his feet and up against the barriers. Carter climbs to his feet and moves towards Jordan and as Jordan moves away from the barriers, Carter clubs his back a few times before Jordan stumbles away but Carter continues to hit him.
Simone: Jordan tries his best to explain the situation and still Carter isn’t listening and doesn’t want to accept the handshake either and instead hits a forearm shot that rocks Jordan.
Adams: Jordan wasn’t prepared for that and he quickly bails from the ring, but Carter is back on him and he leaps form the ring and hits a head scissors take down.
Carter follows him, as Jordan stumbles and catches the barriers and as Carter catches up with him, Carter hits a punch to the torso as Jordan again moves away from Carter, but Carter continues to follow, as the ref who shouts at both to bring the action back into the ring but Carter doesn’t listen and the ref begins a count…
ONE!
Adams: Jordan stumbles away but Carter continue to follow and attack and as Jordan moves away, Carter just follows.
Carter delivers a couple of punches before following up with a forearm shot to Jordan’s head before stepping back and then following up with a harder forearm shot that drops Jordan.
TWO THREE…
Carter turns and then begins to look underneath the ring and pulls out a chair before setting it up.
FOUR…
The ref yells at Carter and threatens disqualification if he uses it. Carter turns and runs at the chair using the chair for height as he looks for a head scissors takedown, but Jordan grabs him and powerbombs him to the mat.
Simone: Carter grabs a chair from underneath the ring as the ref warns him not to use it, but he uses it but not as everyone expects it, but he doesn’t expect the powerbomb from Jordan.
FIVE SIX…
Jordan shakes his head as he paces for a few moments, before turning back to Carter and grabs him and pulls him up and rolls him into the ring…
SEVEN EIGHT….
Jordan follows behind and crawls over to Carter and goes for a pin…
Adams: The ref get to eight but Jordan gets Carter in and himself into the ring for a pin…
ONE!
TWO!
Kick out!
Carter kicks out, as Jordan makes his way to his feet and takes a moment before moving towards Carter, where he grabs him and pulls him up and pushes him into the corner. He then grabs Carter’s hand and Irish whips him across the ring hard and Carter hits the corner opposite before crashing to the mat.
Simone: Jordan gets a two count on Carter, but Jordan doesn’t dwell on it for too long and grabs Carter and pulls him up and whips him across the ring hard and Carter hits the corner and before dropping to the mat.
Jordan shakes his head as he takes a moment to look down at Carter before approaching him once more as Jordan continue to try and reason with Carter, as Carter slowly gets to his knees as Jordan grabs him but Carter fires in a punch to Jordan’s chest and Jordan reels, Carter fires in a few more forearm shots before Jordan retaliates and fires back with his own forearm shot, which drops Carter.
Adams: Jordan goes to grab Carter once more and tries to continue to remedy the situation but Carter catches Jordan a punch and Jordan stumbles back and Carter again fires in more shots before Jordan has enough and hits a forearm shot himself and drops Carter.
Once again Jordan grabs Carter and pulls him up, where he pushes him into the ropes before firing him to the ropes opposite and Carter bounces off them, as Jordan goes for a wild swing but Carter ducks and bounces off the ropes opposite and Jordan turns and braces himself to hit a back body drop, but Carter leaps over him and onto his back, where he grabs Jordan around the legs as he tries to force Jordan backwards into a pin.
Simone: Jordan really want to fix this with Carter, but he can only take so much as he does have to respond back and avoid the loss.
Adams: Speaking of which, Jordan grabs Carter and pushes him into the ropes before sending Carter away and Jordan goes for a clothesline, which Carter ducks and as he bounces off the ropes, he avoids the back body drop and grabs Jordan around the legs and tries to drag him down to the mat.
Jordan focuses on trying to keep his balance, but it doesn’t work, and he falls backwards into a pin…
ONE!
TWO!
Kick out!
Jordan kicks out as he and Carter roll away and both to their feet, where they meet back in the middle as Jordan offers out a hand but Carter bats it away and fires in a slap to the face, Jordan glares at Carter and fires in a forearm shot and it quickly falls apart and into a brawl, where they throw punches back and forth until Carter drives a knee into Jordan stomach before quickly following up with a discus clothesline. Carter looks down at Jordan and then turns and begins to twerk before following up with a standing moonsault into a pin…
Simone: Jordan eventually fans backwards and into a pin, which Carter gets the two count before Jordan kicks out. But they both roll away and back to their feet, where they proceed to brawl.
Adams: The brawl is short as Carter gets the upper hand and he drives a knee into Jordan’s stomach before following up with a discus clothesline.
Simone: Carter then twerks and hits a standing moonsault.
ONE!
TWO!
THR…
Jordan kicks out, as Carter shakes his head and then mat before making his way to his feet and then hits a split legged leg drop into another pin…
ONE!
TWO!
THR… Kick out!
Adams: Carter attempts a couple of pins and twice Jordan kicks out with a struggling.
Jordan barely kicks out again, as Carter slaps the mat in frustration as he grabs Jordan by the hand and drags him to the corner and sits him up, where he backs up and then rushes in and hits a bronco buster. Carter rolls backwards off Jordan and grabs his foot and drags him from the corner and then rolls Jordan onto his back as he looks for a Texas cloverleaf.
Simone: Jordan is in trouble here. He needs to do something.
Carter tries to roll Jordan onto his front, but Jordan blocks it, as Carter tries again but with no luck and instead Carter drop down and on top of Jordan and unleashes a series of lefts and right, which Jordan manages to block some as Carter then climbs off Jordan before grabbing him by the hair and pulls him up but Jordan shoves Carter backwards and Jordan then fires in a headbutt, which catches Carter in the chest.
Adams: Here we go… Jordan is fighting back.
Carter stumbles back holding his chest and Jordan rushes in and tackles Carter and drives him into the corner, where he follows up with shoulder block to Carter’s torso. He pulls Carter from the corner and sets up and hits an exploder suplex, sending Carter across the ring. Jordan stays down for a few moments before getting to his feet as he moves towards Carter, who is using the ropes to get to his feet.
Simone: Good turnaround by Jordan here as he hits an exploder suplex on the reeling Carter.
Jordan stumbles towards Carter, just as Carter makes his way to his feet and Jordan grabs him and Carter tries to push Jordan away, but Jordan doesn’t budge and drags Carter close before hitting a short arm clothesline. Jordan grabs Carter and pulls him up, where he hits a snap suplex before effortlessly transitions into the Crossing Jordan - Crossface submission.
Adams: Crossing Jordan, can Carter fight out of it??
Carter kicks his legs about as he tries to find the ropes but finds nothing as he tries to reach out for something but has no option to tap out.
Simone: He taps!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via submission… Ben Jordan…
Jordan’s music hits over the p.a as he releases the submission hold and slowly climbs to his feet, as Carter rolls away, as Jordan looks back at Carter before returning his focus to the ref who raises his arm in victory.
The scene opens backstage where we see the new Bombshell Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos standing by for an interview with Ms. Rocky Mountains.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ari, coming up next you are defending your newly won Bombshell Roulette Championship against Seleana Zdunich, how do you feel about having your first title defence against someone who’s not only held that title before but held the World Bombshell Championship in the past?
Ariana: To be totally honest? I’m thrilled, I know I’ll have a great match against Seleana no matter what the wheel lands on but at the same time, I’m out to prove a point tonight?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: That you’re not a fluke champion?
Ariana: How’d you guess?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Heard many superstars and bombshells say variations of that phrase over the past ten years or so, can you do it?
Ariana: Totally! The Go Gym prepared me for a day like this when I enrolled there at the age of eighteen and here I am, ready for my first ever singles title defence!
Ariana responds as she admires her newly won title.
Ariana: Only thing giving me pause is the wheel itself, sometimes it can be merciful like when it gave Miles and Agostino a Lumberjack Match last week, other times? Well, it did land on the 12 Labours of Hercules match on my first night as an SCW Bombshell!
Rocky shudders in response.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Thanks Ari, I had almost forgotten about that! Say you retain the title tonight, any idea who you’d like to face at the High Stakes XI?
Ariana: That’s a great question, there’s a lot of talent in the Bombshell division that I’d love to have a match with for the title, Bella Madison, Candy, Char Kwan, heck I’d even take singles matches against Georgie and Melissa! And if it came down to it, I’d even defend against Krystal!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You’d defend against a fellow Go Gym Graduate and friend?
Ariana: If it came down to it? Yeah, like I said last week, I’m a fighting champion but before I can even think about any of that, I have to make Seleana bask in the Greek Angel’s light! May I go?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Sure, back to you guys at ringside!
Ari walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a Submission match for the Bombshell Roulette Championship!
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: Currently in the ring! From Los Angeles, California! Weighing one hundred and twenty five pounds – Seleana Zdunich!
The crowd greets her with cheers as she pumps a fist in the air!
Simone: Seleana Zdunich is ready for this! Ever since she defeated Candy at Violent Conduct VIII, the powers that be have groomed her for this championship opportunity!
Adams: And she held that championship before so she knows what it feels like!
Simone: Indeed, Seleana has held many championships here in SCW and any former champion will tell you that once you taste that gold, you have an insatiable need to hold gold once again.
Justin: And her opponent…!
The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd.
Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she is the reigning and defending Bombshell Roulette Champion! "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!
Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and removing her cloak ready for her match.
Adams: You know I think despite both ladies being great high flyers, Ariana may have an edge here because she has trained in the GO Gym where a certain MMA submission fighter trains.
Simone: Indeed so but I seem to recall Fenris also offering training aid to Seleana a few years back so that also might benefit the former champion. Truth be told, I don’t see either woman having a distinct edge anywhere other than Seleana’s experience factor.
Referee Dawn Barnes showcases the title belt to Seleana who rubs it for luck. The official then holds it up high for all to see, the crowd cheering. Dawn then passes the title belt out to the timekeeper and she calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
And IMMEDIATELY Ariana races across the ring, charging Seleana in hopes of catching her off guard but the more experienced Seleana side steps her and grabs her around the waist, taking her down to the mat in a Greco-Roman takedown! Ariana rolls out of the waist lock on the mat and ducks behind Seleana, grabbing her into a front facelock but Seleana counters with a hammerlock, until Ariana reaches behind her and snapmares her off over her shoulder. Ariana is quick to grab Seleana into a full nelson but Seleana drops down and uses her legs to roll Angelos over and into a head scissors, but Ariana rolls to her hands and knees and somersaults over, taking control with a side headlock. Seleana turns into the hold and rolls atop of Angelos in a quarter nelson but Ariana ducks back behind her and attempts to take hold of her in a Kirafuda clutch but Seleana uses the momentum of the takedown to roll back and both women jump to their feet, facing off as the crowd appreciates the fast paced exchange with cheers and applause.
Adams: Looks like BOTH of these Bombshells are already into this match!
Simone: They have both been trained extensively in the technical aspects of the sport but it is going to take a lot to get either of these young women to submit away a championship belt.
Seleana and Ariana then circle the ring, sizing the other up before they ultimately lock up, each woman struggling and attempting to wrest control of the match in their favor. Slowly Seleana overpowers Ariana and backs her into a corner of the ring but Ariana turns it around to her advantage and backs Seleana up against the ropes. Seleana reverses this against the ropes and finally Ariana ends up with Seleana pinned in the near corner. Ariana goes to deliver a boot to her midsection but Seleana grabs her foot, blocking it. Ariana hops on one foot as Seleana lowers her leg, then goes for a spinning backhanded fist but Ariana ducks under and she sends Seleana into the near corner with an Irish whip. Seleana jumps onto the middle turnbuckle as the champion races in and Seleana jumps off and takes Ariana over with a flying arm drag! Ariana is sent sliding the length of the ring but she is right back up! She runs in and Seleana sweeps her legs out from under her and as Ariana rolls over to her hands and knees, Seleana lands a low dropkick to the champion’s arm! Ariana immediately rolls around on the mat, clutching her elbow!
Simone: I dare say that Seleana’s experience just paid big dividends as she has struck fast and now has the champion hurt and possibly injured!
Adams: And any champion would look to take immediate advantage of that!
Indeed Seleana attempts to do so, grabbing her by the arm and she twists her into an arm wringer but Seleana somersaults over to counter and break the hold. Ariana kips up and attempts a dropkick and strikes the challenger down! Ariana grabs her and attempts an Irish whip into the ropes but Seleana reverses it and she takes Ariana down to the mat with a Fujiwara arm bar!
Adams: And back to work on that injured arm!
Seleana leans back into the hold, using her feet to add additional leverage and possibly hyper-extend the elbow and shoulder of the champion! Dawn is right down there to ask if Ariana wants to submit but she cries out in the negative, shaking her head!
Simone: It is not going to be so easy to force Ariana to give up the first singles championship of her career!
Adams: The same could be said for making the challenger submit to becoming a champion again.
And somehow Ariana is able to counter as she rolls at the hip, taking Seleana over onto the mat and breaking the hold. Ariana holds her arm as Seleana moves in and Ariana quickly sweeps her legs out from under her! Ariana then looks to go for the slingshot maneuver but she rolls through and immediately has Zdunich in first a half crab, then she turns into the hold and transitions into an STF!
Simone: And now the champion displays that she too can put the hurt on a challenger with her own knowledge of submission wrestling!
Now it is Seleana in dire need of reaching the ropes but she is right in the center of the ring! Dawn asks her if she wants to give up but Zdunich is a fighter and that will not happen! Seleana grasps the champion by the wrist that holds her tight and she just manages to pry her grip loose and she begins to drive her arm down into the canvas!
Adams: Oh! That hurt arm being worked over again!
Ariana releases the hold and rolls on the mat, clutching at her arm as Seleana quickly gets to her feet. Seleana grabs at her hurt arm and drops a guillotine leg over it once - twice - THREE times. Seleana then stands up with her arm in her clutches and steps through with a step over arm lock. Seleana leans down into the hold, turning Ariana’s arm almost inside out and bent backward at an unnatural angle! Ariana cries out in sharp pain but she refuses Dawn’s questioning about submitting this match away!
Simone: I have no idea how much more of this the champion will be able to take. If she can’t use her arm, how on earth will she be able to defend herself?
Adams: OR hold onto any part of Seleana in any hold?
Seleana then places one leg under her opponent's armpit and turns 180 degrees in the direction of that leg, so that the leg moves over Ariana’s back and entangles her arm.
Adams: Ohh! I don’t even know what that hold is called! I’ve never seen it before!
Simone: That there is known as the Omoplata.
Adams: Thank goodness for wikipedia, eh Bel?
Ariana’s back is arched and twisted in a painful way as Seleana turns into the hold, adding EXTREME pressure on the champion’s bad arm and shoulder! Dawn asks her if she wants to submit and Ariana raises her hand…
Adams: She’s gonna tap! She’s gonna tap!
But instead Ariana rolls over and her hand just BARELY is able to grasp the bottom rope! The crowd applauds the valiant effort on behalf of the champion!
Simone: Good ring knowledge on the part of Ariana Angelos! Being able to reach the ropes is probably the only thing that saved her championship reign!
Dawn calls for the break and Seleana releases her, albeit with slight reluctance. Dawn backs her off so that she can check on Ariana and the champion assures the official that she CAN continue. Ariana uses the ropes to drag herself up to a vertical base in the corner. Seleana then charges in, going for a spear but Ariana dives aside and Seleana goes right through the turnbuckles and she strikes the ring post with her neck and shoulder!
Simone: Oh and that could prove a very costly mistake on the part of the challenger!
Slowly, Seleana staggers back into the confines of the ring, holding her neck and shoulder until Ariana grabs her and brings her down with a shoulder-first DDT!
Adams: Now ironically it’s Ariana working over Seleana’s arm!
Simone: It’s not just Seleana’s arm that is hurt! So is her neck!
Ariana rolls over Seleana and grabs her into a front facelock, pinning her face down and turns it into a Peruvian choke! Dawn is right there to see if Seleana will give up but no! The former champion still has fight left in her! Then, with Seleana on her stomach and Ariana to her side, Ariana grabs her near arm and pulls her onto her side before stepping over her head with the same leg. Using that leg as leverage, the champion pushes Seleana's head downwards and drops to her side so that the challenger must support her own body weight on her squeezed neck. Ariana then uses her free leg to complete the reverse crucifix arm bar, trying to hyperextend the elbow!
Simone: And that is known as the Strangehold Alpha!
Adams: No fair! Next time I get to use wikipedia to look up names!
Dawn checks in and ultimately Seleana slaps her hand against Ariana’s leg! Dawn calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner by submission! And STILL Bombshell Roulette Champion! Ariana ANGELOS!
The crowd cheers as Dawn raises her arm in victory and returns the championship belt to her eager hands!
Helluva Bottom Carter is storming through the hallway following his submission loss at the hands of the Cockney King aka Ben Jordan. His makeup is smeared and he clearly has tears of frustration welling in his eyes. He is dragging his luggage behind him and has not even changed out of his wrestling attire as he barges out through the exit door to the parking garage of the Reno Events Center.
Pussy: Carter? Excuse me, Carter?
Carter either does not hear or he is ignoring the call from Pussy Willow as she and a cameraman attempt to catch up to the young man.
Pussy: Carter! Please, may we get a word with you about…?
But now it is painfully clear that he is ignoring her as an Uber pulls up into his path and the rear passenger door opens and inside is his boyfriend, Lazarus. The driver takes his luggage and hurries to deposit it into the trunk, slamming it shut as Carter climbs inside beside Lazarus and closes the door in Pussy’s face. The driver then climbs back in and the car drives away, leaving Pussy and the cameraman in the dust.
The scene opens backstage where we see Aussie Bombshell Krystal Wolfe chatting with the current Bombshell Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos.
Krystal: Are you ready for tonight?
Ariana: I’d feel a lot better going into the match against Seleana if it weren’t for everything that happened between us and Carter during the week.
Krystal: I’m still in shock that he yelled at Tempest, she’s bigger and taller than some of the male competitors!
Ariana: He’s not himself, and the situation with Cass only made things worse!
Cassie: What situation?
The camera pans over to show Krystal’s teenaged cousin Cassie standing nearby with a drink in her hand.
Krystal: Carter knows that we found about him and Laz through you.
Cassie nods before taking a sip from her drink.
Ariana: And then dared Tempest to make him leave after the argument got heated.
Cassie nearly spits out her drink when she hears that.
Cassie: WOW! And I thought that one time I sassed Keira was bad!
Krystal: It was, and I’d argue that that was worse because Keira was your trainer at the time.
Cassie: Good point!
Cassie admits as she regains her composure.
Cassie: Besides, I do have some news for you guys, I’ve signed with SCW!
Krystal: Yeah that’s………WAIT WHAT?!
Krystal does a double take as does Ari, but Cassie realizes what she just said and backtracks.
Cassie: Not SCW as in the company you guys work for, the one with Supreme in its name.
Ariana: You girls are never hearing the end of that when word reaches the bosses!
Krystal: More to the point, what happened with Outlaw Pro?
Cassie: Aside from those public spats with Jason Ryan they’ve gone silent on Twitter and I’m beginning to doubt that my second match will ever air, I decided to put my name out there and the other SCW answered the call.
Krystal: Well, I hope it works out better than my initial run in this SCW!
Cassie: Tell me about it!
The conversation drifts off as the scene fades.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a High Stakes XI Eliminator match, scheduled for one fall!
Roc Boys by Jay Z begins to blast all across the speaker system and as it does Todd Williams along with his wife Hope emerge from behind the curtain to the sound of loud boos. Todd cracks a very wicked grin as he grabs his wife and gives her a long sloppy kiss to even more boos.
Justin: Accompanied to the ring by his wife, Hope! From the Bronx, New York, weighing two hundred and ten pounds - Todd Williams!
He slowly walks down to the ring hand and hand with his wife. He stops at the ring and she slowly walks up the steps and into the ring. She stands by the turnbuckles and spreads her legs open. He slides through the bottom of the ropes underneath her legs and into the ring. He dips her down and kisses Hope again before he flips off the booing crowds.
Simone: It’s Todd Williams against the reigning Internet Champion in a non-title High Stakes XI Eliminator match! If Todd manages to walk away from this one with the win, then he gets a championship opportunity in Las Vegas on October 30th!
Adams: That’s the last thing SCW needs! Todd Williams as a champion! What’s next? Crystal Zdunich under a mask??
Justin: And his opponent…!
As the lights in the arena cut to black, the speakers come to life with the sound of "Demon" by Savage Hands. The lights begin to flash in an array of white and red as smoke fills the entrance stage. Strolling out to an overwhelming chorus of cheers, Lachlan Kane smiles out at the crowd and throws a couple of phantom punches before making his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans along the way.
Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From Waterford, Ireland, weighing one hundred and ninety pounds! He is the current Sin City Wrestling Internet Champion! Lachlan! KANE!
He runs up the steel steps and bounces against the ropes on the outside of the ring on the apron's edge before stepping through the ropes into the centre of the ring. He grins again before throwing his hands up to the deafening roar of the crowd. As his music fades away, he takes off his jacket and hands it off to the ring announcer and throws a few more punches to ready himself.
Simone: The Road To High Stakes XI continues in this non-title match as if Lachlan loses tonight in any way, then Todd Williams becomes his challenger for the Grand Prix of Professional Wrestling!
Adams: And if Lachlan wins – well so does everybody else because NOBODY wants to see Todd Williams getting a chance at a championship!
Simone: Also if Todd wins, then other steps will be taken to determine a challenger for October 30th.
Todd is mouthing off, calling across the ring to throw shade at Lachlan as Jacob calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
And immediately Todd rolls out of the ring to avoid any contact with the champion!
The crowd boos Todd’s cowardly tactic as he turns and shouts for them to “SHUT UP” while Lachlan complains to the official.
Adams: Typical Todd. He talks big but the moment the match is on, he runs.
Simone: You’d think with a title opportunity on the line, he’d man up.
Adams: *snort* Silly Bel!
Jacob turns to begin a count against Todd who instead asks for the typical heelish time out, but the count continues against him as Hope screams about unfair biasedness…
ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE…
And Todd finally rolls inside of the ring - and promptly ducks right back out through the ropes and to the floor.
Simone: This is going to get old and fast.
Adams: Lachlan isn’t liking it very much either.
Lachlan is clearly growing fed up, hands on hips as Hope pampers Todd at ringside while Jacob starts his count again.
ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX…
And Lachlan ducks through the ropes and to the floor, targeting Todd on the outside! Spotting this, Todd turns and takes off running with Lachlan giving chase around the six-sided ring! Todd rolls in side and Lachlan slides in, right behind him, but Todd greets him with a number of hard boots as he stomps down on the champion!
Simone: Unfortunately I have to admit that Todd suckered Lachlan right into that one.
Todd then drags Lachlan up and goes for an Irish whip but Lachlan reverses it and he dropkicks Williams right in the kisser! Todd quickly attempts to scramble to the outside again but this time Lachlan grabs him by the boots, preventing it! Hope runs over and grabs her husband’s hands to help, eliciting a warning from Jacob as a tug of war ensues! Lachlan wins, dragging Todd AND Hope all of the way inside of the ring! Hope releases her husband and Jacob acts quickly to force her from out of the ring and out of harm’s way, but the moment he turns his back and Lachlan makes a move to grab Todd, “the Redeemer” acts and swings an uppercut right between Lachlan’s legs!
Adams: OHHH! Low blow!
Simone: And Hope has done her work and could have just handed her husband a ticket to High Stakes XI on a golden platter!
Lachlan is bent over, clutching himself and in agony! Todd drags him into an inside cradle with a handful of trunks for good measure. Jacob turns and spots the pin…
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-KICK OUT!
The crowd cheers and Todd is SHOCKED!
Adams: There’s still life in the ol’ Eggplant!
Simone: Relatively speaking!
Todd is on his feet, arguing with Jacob, insisting that it was three! That it was a slow count! Whatever he can imagine! Jacob insists that it was a two count and Todd responds by shoving the referee!
Adams: Oo! Careful! That’s Fine Central!
And Jacob responds by shoving him right back! Todd stumbles back and falls over Lachlan who manages a reverse cradle out of the situation!
ONE!
TWO!
Todd kicks out!
Lachlan is still weakened from the shot to the bojangles and Todd is right up and he almost decapitates Lachlan with a clothesline! Todd covers him and hooks the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Lachlan kicks out!
Todd throws him back to his back and covers him again!
ONE!
TWO!
Lachlan kicks out again!
Todd POUNDS on the mat with both fists, frustrated and angry as Hope screams from ringside, demanding a faster count! Todd turns back to Lachlan and drags the champion to his feet. Todd sends him into the ropes with an Irish whip and Lachlan comes off, striking him down with a Slingblade!
Adams: Looks like Lachlan is back in the fight!
Lachlan struggles to recover from the low blow earlier and he forces his way to his feet as Todd uses the ropes to drag himself back up. Lachlan moves in and Todd swings to take a cheap shot but the blow is blocked - and returned in kind as Lachlan strikes with a forearm smash, rocking him back against the ropes, followed by a European uppercut and a knife edge chop! Lachlan pulls him off of the ropes and lays him out cold with a short-arm clothesline! Lachlan drags him roughly back to a vertical base and short-arm clotheslines him a second time. Pulling him up again, Todd seeks to take advantage and attempts a boxing jab but Lachlan ducks out of the way and brings him down with a side Russian leg sweep! Lachlan floats over smoothly into a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Todd gets a shoulder up!
Todd then quickly rolls out of the ring to escape harm yet AGAIN!
Simone: Oh not AGAIN! Seriously, Todd!
Adams: Yeah! Grow a set!
And fed up, Lachlan darts through the ropes but THIS time - Todd hides behind his own wife! The crowd BOOS!
Simone: You COWARD!
Adams: Yeah! What would La Rosa Ardiente - er, I mean, Crystal think???
Todd backs away, holding onto Hope’s shoulders the entire way so Lachlan can’t get to him. Todd then pushes Hope into Lachlan, and Lachlan scoops her up as she screams and kicks her legs and the champion deposits her standing on the broadcaster’s table!
Adams: Hey hey hey! We don’t know where that’s been!
Lachlan then turns back around and EATS a superkick from Todd! Todd quickly drags Lachlan up and rolls him inside of the ring! Todd scrambles back in and covers him, placing both feet on the ropes for added leverage!
ONE!
TWO!
Jacob spots Todd’s feet on the ropes and stops the count!
Jacob is on his feet and Todd still pounds the mat as the two argue between themselves!
Simone: I do not believe Todd Williams! Jacob caught him trying to use the ropes and he STILL expects the referee to count!
Adams: Clearly Todd has a case of Karen-itis!
Todd argues again with Jacob and then turns around and right into a shotgun dropkick from Lachlan! The impact sends Williams hard back into the corner and he hits the mat! Lachlan springs to the top in one, fluid motion and he jumps off - landing with both feet right in Todd’s midsection!
Adams: Lach-Down!
Lachlan with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner! Lachlan! KANE!
The crowd cheers as Jacob raises his arm in victory while Hope screams in dismay!
Simone: Lachlan Kane with a decisive victory!
Adams: Seriously! It was almost as if Todd didn’t even try!
Jason turns and looks into the camera knowingly before turning back away.
The scene opens backstage where we see veteran Bombshell Jessie Salco hanging out, she is obviously riding on a high from winning her match against La Rosa Ardiente the previous week.
Pussy: Jessie?
Jessie looks up and sees Pussy approaching her.
Jessie: Wasn’t aware that I was scheduled for an interview, thought you and Rocky stuck to Superstars and Bombshells who are scheduled to compete?
Pussy: Normally yeah, but I was hoping to get a follow-up to your seg with Melissa last week where you challenged her to a Chamber of Extreme match!
Jessie nods as she gets the idea before standing up straight.
Jessie: Shoot!
Pussy: Well the most pressing question I have is about your final words to Melissa at the end of the seg, what did you mean by that Napoleon Bonaparte quote?
Jessie: Glad to see some people know their historical figures around here!
Pussy grins sheepishly in a rare lapse of professionalism.
Pussy: I googled the quote after last weeks show went off the air.
Jessie: Fair enough, to be honest? I went through a few different quote ideas before the show starting with turn your back quotes, thought I found one that was perfect for the situation too.
Pussy: So, why didn’t you use that quote?
Jessie: It was a quote from Adolf Hitler.
Pussy winces as she processes Jessie’s response.
Jessie: Do I even need to say why I noped the fuck away from that quote?
Pussy: Nope, not at all, so what did you mean by that quote?
Jessie: I thought I made my meaning clear! Melissa made the biggest mistake of her young career last week and I wasn’t about to stop her, especially when it was clear that Goth wasn’t about to step in either!
Pussy: Why do you say that Melissa made a mistake last week?
Jessie: Look at the women I named last week, Crystal, Maki, Evie, Myra, they all have years of experience to their name! For fuck’s sake, Myra’s older than I am! They all stepped into the Chamber of Extreme with me and I only lost one of those matches, Melissa is a rookie sensation but the keyword there is rookie!
Pussy: You think Melissa’s in over her head?
Jessie: I know she’s in over her head! As talented as she is, she’s stepping into an environment that she’s unfamiliar with and unproven in! Me? I’m a four time Bombshell Roulette Champion, I’ve competed in many match types under that division’s umbrella, I’m practically a veteran of both this division and the Bombshell Roulette Division!
Pussy: Many young wrestlers have thrived in that division though, like Krystal Wolfe and Ariana Angelos!
Jessie: Krystal I’ll grant you because she secured her place in the record books with that reign but Ariana? She’s a good kid, talented as all hell, but she literally just won the title and has her first defense scheduled for later on tonight, let’s not put too much pressure on the Greek Angel’s shoulders, hmm?
Pussy: Who would you use as an example instead of Ariana then?
Jessie: Me!
Pussy: But you haven’t held the title since 2020.
Jessie: I noticed! But I was just two years older than Ariana when I won the title for the first time and least we forget that I earned that shot in a Hardcore Bra and Panties Match! I’m primarily a highflyer but I have more than proven myself as a hardcore wrestler! But Melissa? The only hardcore match she has to her name is the Strap Match that served as our first match, a match she barely won! And at High Stakes XI? I’m tying our series at one apiece!
Pussy walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: The following match is set for one fall… Introducing first..
"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.
Justin: From Seattle, Washington! Weighing one hundred and ninety eight pounds -- Finn ! Whelan!!
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. He 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: And his opponent…
"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots.
Justin: Hailing from Philadelphia Pennsylvania.. Jack Washington!
He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.
DING DING DING!!
The crowd cheers as the two men lock up in the middle of the ring and it is Jack that has the weight advantage pushing Finn towards the ropes but the speed of Finn allowed him to escape the corner gesturing to Jack to bring it again. Again the weight advantage helped Jack push Finn into the ropes and he slings him across the ring but Finn counters in the middle sending Jack into the ropes but he comes back at Finn with a clothesline but Finn eats it and shakes his head.
Simone: Thunderous clothesline from Jack but Finn is shaking it off.
The shit eating grin on Finn’s face was wiped away as Jack charges in and hits him with a dropkick. The thud of Finn’s back slamming into the mat hushed the crowd for a moment and Jack firmly took the lead of the match getting Finn to his feet before locking a hammer lock in. The grip is tight and while Finn is by no means giving in, the pressure is doing a number on his shoulder and wrist for sure as the grimaces show on Finn’s face. Just as he is about to try and get out of the hold Jack hoists him up for a hammerlock suplex.
Adams: No way!!! Oh the impact of that move went right on his head and shoulder..
Jack goes for the pinfall right away..
ONE..
TW…
Finn forcefully kicks out of the attempt.
Simone: There is more fight in Finn yet! It will take more than that to take him out!
Adams: Admit it you were worried about him!
Belinda did not answer that as inside the ring Jack went to follow up and hit the ropes and jumped up for the leg drop but there was nobody there. The crows responding with a pained oooh as Jack lands and some cheer as Finn gets to his feet. Rolling his shoulder for a moment before he starts kicking Jack. A mix of different kind of kicks each finding their mark. While Jack may have the weight advantage over Finn it is the speed of Finn that gets him the upper hand now with lightning quick kicks to the back and chest of Jack.
Simone: A flurry of kicks by Finn lights up the back and chest of Jack here! Does Jack have an answer to the speed of Finn.
Firmly keeping control of the match for the moment with his assault of kicks doing their damage on Jack, Finn pulls Jack up and yanks him in for a short arm clothesline but he keeps a hold on the arm and goes for it again but Jack counters it with a vicious neckbreaker. Immediately going for the cover on the stunned Finn..
ONE…
TWO….
THR…….
Jack looks at the referee for a moment with a glare but only gets the signal of two back at him. The referee looks less than impressed with the glare sent his way.
Adams: So close but not yet there is more fight left in Finn..
As Jack is arguing the pinfall with the referee Finn is recovering and as Jack focuses back on Finn he walks right into a backhand chop, the sound echoing in the building. Finn follows it up with a few more of those backhand chops driving Jack into the corner. Jack pushes him off for a moment but Finn comes flying in with a forearm smash in the corner immediately scooping Jack up and hanging him in the corner in the tree of woe.
Simone: Jack is trapped! Get him out of the corner ref!
Adams: Finn can do whatever he wants right now!
Finn does not hesitate and hits a jumping Double Footstomp on Jack as he is hanging there and the impact sends Jack free to the mat. As Jack raises himself up from the mat Finn connects with a shining wizard kick to the head. Grabbing Jack and pulling him up, Finn hits a german suplex right into the corner sending Jack back first into the turnbuckle crumpling down into a heap.
Simone: My god that was nasty!
Adams: Finn looks to be done with this match! FENIAN RISING!!!!
Finn had grabbed Jack out of the corner and hit a vicious fast slingblade and immediately went for the cover. The referee slid in..
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!!!
DING DING DING!!
Justin: Here is your winner!!! Finn Whelan!!
Mercedes Vargas is shown walking backstage before Pussy Willow rolls up for an interview. The two-time SCW Hall of Famer slows her walk so the interview can catch up.
Pussy: Standing backstage here on Climax Control with Mercedes Vargas. Mercedes, tough loss going out from last week. Unfortunately, you came up short in challenging Masque de Lune for the World Bombshell Championship. How do you feel?
The camera closes in on Mercedes.
Mercedes: Esto te voy a decir en ingles para que me entiendas (I’m going to say this in English, so you understand me). Yes, Masque did beat me last week at Climax Control 341. I wasn’t pinned, I didn’t tap out. But, Masque still walked out with the Bombshell Championship. We took each other to the limit. That night we set the stage in the main event representing the Bombshells Division, and we did not disappoint. You say I lost, Pussy?
Mercedes does a single wag of her finger while shaking her head in the negative.
Mercedes: No, no, no. That’s where you’re wrong, mamita. I don’t lose. I either win, or I learn. I’m Teflon. I can take a loss and not lose any credibility. That is what separates me from everyone else. 14 title reigns, SCW Award Winner, the first-ever Queen for a Day winner, the only four-time Bombshell Triple Crown Winner, two-time Bombshell Grand Slam Champion and the fastest Bombshell to ever do it, one of only two Bombshells in history to become a two-time Hall of Famer, numerous records set and broken, the most decorated talent in the company.....There isn't a woman here who can keep me down. Many have tried, believe me.
Mercedes divides her attention between Pussy Willow and the camera.
Mercedes: Tell you what, though. This won’t be the last time you will see me as a challenger for the Bombshell Championship, or any championship. I’ll be back. Don’t take that as a threat or a promise. That’s a warning.
For the first time, a smirk crosses her face.
Mercedes: Mucho antes de que lo supieras, y mucho después de que lo recuerdes. (Long before you knew, and long after you’ll remember.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and our next title match! Keira Fisher finally achieved her long-standing goal of winning the Bombshell Internet Title at Violent Conduct VIII achieving the Grand Slam in the process but now she has to defend the title an against the very woman she dethroned, Kayla Richards!
Adams: This is the first we’ve seen of Kayla since that title match and she is eager to become a two-time champion, especially since Keira has been notoriously flaky when it comes to defending her newly won titles!
Simone: Their match at Violent Conduct was an instant classic and this promises to be just as good! Let’s take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Bombshell Internet Championship!
The crowd cheers before "Like a Phoenix" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage is seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the ring. She slaps a few fans hands as she slides in. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she waits for her opponent.
Justin: Introducing first, from Miami, Florida and representing Team Hero she is the reigning and defending Bombshell Internet Champion KEIRA FISHER!
Simone: Keira achieved her goal of the grand slam in the first match, can she retain in the rematch?
Adams: Either way Kayla’s not going to make it easy for her!
Justin: Introducing the challenger!
"I will kill your dreams."
The voice of Kayla Richards gives way to the opening guitar riff of Bad Omens "Like a Villain" The lights flash from being on and bright to dark and switching between a dark purple and red. Kayla Richards steps out onto the stage in her gear, a black leather jacket over it, her long hair flowing down as she makes her way to the ring, she runs and slides up and across the apron on one knee before getting into the ring and putting both her hands in the air, one crossed over the other to make a "K" with her fingers before they turn into a double bird and move down to a finger gun pose pointed at the crowd.
Justin: From Norwich, East Anglia, England she is “The Dreamkiller”……..
Justin doesn’t even get a chance to finish introducing Kayla as she waits for Keira to focus on removing her title from around her waist before blindsiding the champion and prompting Jasmine to call for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Simone: Kayla isn’t wasting any time in attacking Keira!
Adams: Justin didn’t even get a chance to finish introducing her!
As soon as the bell rings Keira recovers from the bind side attack from Kayla and starts fighting back against the younger wrestler causing a brawl between the two women to ensue and Jasmine can only watch on as the two women exchange punches and the crowd lap it up! After a few minutes Kayla has Keira backed up to the ring ropes and she goes to clothesline the reigning champion to the outside only for Keira to counter it by attempting to back drop Kayla to the outside.
Simone: Keira’s recovered well from the blindside attack by Kayla, but she had better watch out because Kayla landed on the apron!
Adams: Both women have clear goals in this match, Kayla wants her title back and Keira wants to prove that she isn’t a fluke champion!
Keira turns around only to be met with a leaping Enziguri from the apron by Kayla stunning the blonde Bombshell long enough for Kayla to hit her with a Springboard DDT! Kayla wastes little time in going for the first pin off the match and Jasmine gets into position.
ONE!
TWO!
And Keira gets her foot on the bottom rope forcing Jasmine to stop the count and point that out to Kayla! Kayla shakes her head before dragging Keira to the middle of the ring and going for another pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Simone: And Keira stays in the fight again, this time with a kickout!
Adams: Say what you will about Kayla but she’s one persistent lady!
Kayla shoots Jasmine a dirty look apparently believing that she had the match won in spite of how early it is in the match, but Jasmine shakes her head and orders the British Bombshell to keep up the offence, Kayla grunts in annoyance before she picks up Keira and attempts for a Suplex only for Keira to land behind her and execute a release German Suplex on Kayla! Kayla rolls to the outside to prevent Keira from following up on the attack but Keira remains undaunted as she measures up the Brit for a suicide dive.
Simone: You’d have thought that Team Hero’s opponents would know by now not to go to the outside as Kayla just did!
Adams: Both Keira and Roxi are as well-versed in the air as they are on the ground!
Keira goes for the run to the ropes to initiate the dive, but Kayla has it scouted and ducks out of the way before Keira can even reach the ring ropes! Keira changes her strategy however as she climbs out onto the apron and waits for Kayla to turn around before hitting a running senton on her challenger! Jasmine restarts the count as she waits for either champion or challenger to get back to their feet first and that ends up being Keira as she rolls Kayla back into the ring, follows her in and goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla kicks out! Keira isn’t letting her off that easy though as she grabs Kayla’s legs and locks in a Sharpshooter!
Simone: Kayla’s out of the frying pan and into the fire thanks to Keira’s Sharpshooter!
Adams: Keira has it locked in tight, will we see a submission?
Kayla starts to fight her way out of the submission hold before Jasmine can even ask if she wants to submit and when that fails Kayla starts crawling over to the ring ropes to try to the rope break, however as she achieves the rope break Kayla realizes that the title was never retrieved after Keira dropped it following Kayla’s blindside attack and grabs it before she swings it at Keira’s head the moment Jasmine’s back is turned, unfortunately for Kayla the attempt at cheating fails as Keira ducks the belt shot before hitting her challenger with the Eye of the Hurricane! Keira points out the title to Jasmine who makes sure to get it to the timekeeper before Kayla can try to use it again and once that’s out of harms way Keira goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla gets the shoulder up barely in time!
Simone: Kayla’s attempt at cheating almost cost her the match there!
Adams: Keira’s too experienced to fall for a trick like that!
Keira gives Kayla a chance to get back to her feet before she makes her next move, namely a springboard move of some kind, we never find out what that move is as Kayla cuts off Keira with a massive spear knocking the wind right out of the reigning champion but the match has gone on so long that Kayla’s too exhausted to capitalize on the opportunity and Jasmine immediately starts applying the ten count.
Simone: Whoever gets up first might be a shoe in to win the match and the title!
Adams: I’m not sure who came off worse in that exchange between Keira and Kayla!
For a while it looks like the match is going to end in a double count out but when Jasmine’s count reaches nine Kayla gets back to a sitting position and drapes her arm across the chest of Keira as she goes for the pin on Keira!
ONE!
TWO!
And Keira barely kicks out! Kayla makes her displeasure at the apparently slow count known to Jasmine but Jasmine asserts that her pin count was fair, and that Keira did indeed kick out in time! But before Jasmine can tell Kayla to resume the match Keira catches her challenger in a victory roll from behind!
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla kicks out! Keira gets back to her feet first and a brief fist fight between the two Bombshells breaks out before Kayla catches the champion with a Lung Blower after a missed shot! Kayla goes for a lazy pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Keira reverses it into a pin of her own!
ONE!
TWO!
AND KAYLA JUST BARELY KICKS OUT! Keira gets back to her feet first again but this time she calls for the Seven Sins kick!
Simone: Keira’s looking to retain the title the same way she won it!
Adams: Will Kayla have it scouted this time?
Once Kayla is back on her feet Keira goes for the kick but Kayla ducks under it and as soon as Keira’s leg is back on the ground Kayla chop blocks it to drive Keira to her knees and then hits the Dreamkiller!
Simone: DREAMKILLER! DO WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION?!
Adams: I think so, Keira seems to be out cold! Stick a fork in Keira, she’s done!
Kayla rolls Keira onto her back and goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
Justin: Here is your winner AND NEW BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPION “THE DREAMKILLER” KAYLA RICHARDS!
Simone: Kayla’s done it! She’s now a two-time Bombshell Internet Champion!
Adams: What a match!
Kayla celebrates her win with her brand-new title as Keira is checked on by Jasmine!
As the scene opens we see footage of two matches from last week’s Climax Control, namely the endings to the Fatal Four Way World Bombshell Championship Contenders Match between Krystal Wolfe, Sam Marlowe, Alicia Lukas and the winner Diamond Steele and the Main Event World Bombshell Title Match between Masque and Mercedes Vargas, as the ending shot of the main event plays we pan out to see Krystal watching the matches with an inquisitive look on her face.
Krystal: Diamond won the right to face Masque, a pyrrhic victory if I ever saw one.
Krystal comments as the monitor turns off and she turns to the camera.
Krystal: Still, that left four Bombshells without any clear goal for the biggest show of the year, and having been in that spot for a good chunk of the year? It’s time for a change, I could talk to Sam at this moment, hell I could jump at the chance to shut up Alicia, but I’ll save those two for another day, instead I’m talking about you Mercedes.
The Aussie adds as she folds her arms.
Krystal: Five matches, two singles, three multiperson matches, both with the same outcome, you failed to beat me! And in three of those cases, I’ve pinned you Mercedes! But something has definitely changed since those matches, you’ve picked some of the old fire that many had thought long extinguished which left me thinking.
Krystal says as she looks at her fingernails playfully.
Krystal: What would be the outcome of a match between us now?
Krystal grins broadly before flipping some hair over her shoulder.
Krystal: Ball’s in your court Mercedes, because I’m challenging you to a match at High Stakes XI! I’ll wait for my answer once you stop going through the SCW archives every five minutes!
Krystal walks off as the scene fades.
We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Pussy Willow. She has a smile on her lips as she raises the microphone to her lips and begins to speak.
Pussy: Good evening everybody. My guest at this time is a woman who has won her match last week and now she will be the woman who will be in the main event of the biggest event of the year. I give to you Diamond Steele.
As soon as Diamond is shown the sound of boos could be heard in the background. Diamond nods her head as she looks at Pussy.
Diamond: What a reaction but to be honest the people have every reason in the world to shower me with boos. I haven’t given them a reason to cheer me and I know my antics have caused that reaction and I fully own it. I mean it was only a few weeks ago where I stood in the ring at Violent Conduct and I complained about not being used. I verbally attacked Mark Ward and threw a big temper tantrum.
Diamond takes a long deep breath as she nods her head.
Diamond: I will be the first to admit that it was immature but the reality is all I ever wanted was a chance to showcase my talents. I wanted to show the world that I was ready to take the next step in my career and after being here for seven years I was ready to ascend through the rankings of the roster. Despite what happened I am happy that my pleas were actually heard and I was given a chance to earn a shot at a World Championship match. I walked into a four way match with three of the best wrestlers in this company and I somehow won.
Diamond nods her head as the crowd slowly starts to cheer in the background.
Diamond: I know it came through the use of a steel chair and in a four way match it’s completely legal. I want to apologize that it had to come to those means but the fact remains that I had earned my win and now this little girl can have her dreams come true. I will main event a super card against the biggest threat in this division and I am ready for it. You see with that entire outburst I had I have actually managed to work things out with Mark Ward. The two of us are working on a project together and we are going to throw a fundraising concert the weekend of High Stakes to honour her Royal Majesty. We are going to raise money for her favourite charity the British Red Cross and we are going to support things back home. Let’s just give a round of applause for how amazing the Queen was to the world.
With that the crowd actually begins to cheer as the cameras pan to the crowd and they give a standing ovation. Diamond wipes the tears out from her eyes as she smiles and begins to speak some more.
Diamond: Now I have a tough match against Masque coming up on the horizon. She is the biggest woman on the roster weight wise and I am currently the smallest woman on the active roster not counting Chloe. So what happens when the biggest goes against the smallest?! It will remain to be told but one thing is certain. I never saw myself as a hero but it looks like I am being called into the position. I am far from being the goody girl but against someone like Masque that seems to be my position. For all of the bombshells on this division I will bring an absolute fight to Masque. I will do everything to unseat her and I will not let this opportunity Masque I will be seeing you soon… I promise you that…
With that the fans actually start to cheer at the determination as we go elsewhere.
Justin: The following contest is the MAIN EVENT of Climax Control! It is scheduled for one fall - and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
The crowd cheers!
As all the lights dim, blue and red lights begin to flicker on the stage, images of ravens flying appearing on the screen. 'Ladies and Gentleman' as these words fill the arena a loud bang of pyro is joined with blinding white lights. These flicker rapidly for a few moments, 'because the devil has my throat,' as these words of the song flow out, out steps Alexander Raven into the centre of the stage. He gazes across the crowd, pulling his cloak tightly around his shoulders, his eyes opened wide a slight smile tugging at his lips. The flashing off the lights stops. 'I am the powers that be!' in sync with these lines he throws his hands up, basking in the reaction of the crowd, beginning to slowly walk down the ramp.
Justin: Introducing first - the challenger! From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, weighing two hundred and fifteen pounds -- Alexander Raven!
He strolls towards the ring leisurely, crossing his arms across his chest, head tilted back, soaking in the world around him. Slowly he begins to ascend the stairs to the left of the ramp, once in the ring, spinning his way to the centre of the ring, dropping to his knees. He hunches over and places his fists on the canvas. 'I am the alpha! and the omega!' as soon as these words come out, he lifts himself backwards slightly, the cloak slipping from his shoulders as he extends his arms to the sky, staring upwards, soaking everything in once again. Slowly he raises to his feet, pushing his cloak from the ring slowly with his foot.
Justin: And his opponent...!
The lights in the arena go down and the sounds of organs fill the arena. After few moments, the first guitar rifts of Deep Purple's "Bad Attitude" fill the arena and the house lights come up and "Godly" Ken Davison stands at the top of the entrance ramp with his arms extended. The arena fills with boos, but Davison soaks them in as though they were the adulation of the masses and he was a returning war hero.
Justin: From Baltimore, Maryland, weighing two hundred and nineteen pounds! He is the current reigning and DEFENDING World Heavyweight Champion! "Godly" Ken DAVISON!
Ken passes the championship belt over to Dawn Barnes who shows it first to Alexander, and then holds it up high for the SCW Universe! The fans cheer! Dawn then passes the gold out to the timekeeper and she promptly calls for the bell!
Davison marches down to thing right with a sense of self righteous pomposity. He ignores the crowd, taking the most direct path to the ring steps, pausing to wipe his boots before getting in the ring. He stands in the center of the ring with his arms extended as the music cuts out.
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as both Ken Davison and Alexander Raven circle each other, Ken is patting his shoulders before standing in the middle of the ring and awaits what Raven is going to do. Raven locks arms with Ken Davison in a collar elbow tie up, pushing Davison into the ropes before whipping him to the opposite side of the ring. Ken comes off the ropes and drops Raven with a shoulder tackle before going for an elbow drop, only to hit the canvas as Raven had rolled out of the way.
Simone: Raven saw it coming and reacted to it.
Raven gets on top of Davison and starts to drive forearm shots to the face before grabbing him by the head and lifts him up to his feet, driving forearms into the face before whipping Davison into the ropes before executing a Spine Buster in the middle of the ring.
ONE!
TWO!
Davison lifts his shoulder off the canvas after the count of two, forcing Dawn Barnes to show Raven that there was no three count. Raven grabs Davison by the head and sets him up for a Snap Suplex, but Davison blocks it before countering the hold that Raven has on Davison and locks Raven in a Hammerlock. He pushes him into the ropes before Dawn gets in between, forcing Davison to back off as Raven spins around quickly. Only to be hit with an open hand slap from the champion, causing Raven to get irate and charge in on the veteran.Who catches Raven off guard by dropping him to the canvas while grabbing him by the arm and locks him in a wrist lock as Raven is on his stomach while Davison leans on the back of Raven while pulling back on the arm in a submission hold.
Adams: What a great tactical move from the champion to sucker Raven into a submission hold like this.
Simone: I agree Jason, Davison is a big time veteran that has seen it all and done it all.
Raven shakes his head, refusing to answer the question of Dawn Barnes whether he wants to give in. He extends his arm towards the ropes, but is too far away to reach it. This causing him to pound his fist on the canvas out of aggression, clearly not wanting to give in to the painful hold before pushing himself off the canvas in an attempt to relieve some of the pressure that he is on. Rolling on his back before wrapping his free arm around the throat of Davison and pushes his shoulders on the canvas as Dawn Barns goes for the three count.
ONE!
TWO!
Ken lets go of the hold, rolls through as he gets to his feet. Only to be leveled by a running clothesline from Raven. Who shakes off the cobwebs from his arm before dropping a knee across the face. Grabbing Davison by the head and lifts him up, setting him up for a standing Suplex as he holds him there for a few seconds before dropping him hard on the canvas.
Simone: That was a nice execution from the challenger.
Raven quickly grabs both legs from Ken Davison, setting him up for a Boston Crab submission hold and sits down deep. Forcing Dawn Barnes to drop on her knees and checking in on Ken Davison whether he wants to submit to the submission hold.
Adams: Will Ken surrender in his first title defense??
The camera zooms in on the expression on the face of Ken Davison as pain is clearly edged on his face while refusing to surrender to the Boston Crab. Placing his hands on the canvas to relieve some of the pressure that he is on, only to feel Raven to sit down even deeper as this forces Davison upper body to be squashed upon the canvas once more due to the pressure.
Adams: Raven is trying to corner the champion into giving up.
Davison is slowly crawling over towards the bottom rope that is close to him, managing to get inches away from the ropes when Raven gets up and drags Davison back to the middle of the ring and is about to sit back upon the lower back of Davison. Only to have Davison to anticipate what Raven had planned on him, using his leg strength to push Raven backwards as he has his hands on the canvas for extra leverage. Dropping Raven on his back on the canvas before getting up to his feet and grabs the legs and sets him up for a Figure Four Leglock as he gets on his feet. Only to have Raven to crawl over towards the ropes in order for Dawn Barnes to break the attempt that he had in mind to place on Raven.
Simone: That was tough luck for Davison.
Ken gets to the middle of the ring, awaiting for Raven to get back to his feet. The two men measure each other up, clearly not wanting to make a mistake as that may just cause them the match and the opportunity to walk away with the belt. Ken places his hands on his hips, staring down Raven who slowly approaches him before backing off as he starts to tell Dawn Barnes that Ken used his tights.
Simone: Oh come on, Dawn isn’t going to buy that load of crap is she??
Dawn tells Raven that there was no tights pulling on Ken’s part, causing Ken to take advantage of the given situation as he grabs Raven by the head and whips him in the ropes as he sets him up for a Back Body Drop, only Raven stops in front of the champ and hits a knee in the face of Ken Davison as that causes him to stagger towards the ropes as Raven follows it up with a running clothesline that sends Davison over the top rope to the outside. Raven follows him to the outside as he doesn’t want to give him any moment to recover. Grabbing him by the head and bashes the champ face first into the steel security railing. This causes Ken Davison to stagger backwards against the steel ring post as Raven charges in on him with a clothesline only to hit the steel ring post as Ken had moved away.
Simone: That had to hurt!!!
Ken shakes off the cobwebs from his head before grabbing Raven by the head and rolls him into the ring before following him back in. There he immediately hooks the legs of the challenger
ONE!
TWO!
THR…
Raven weakly manages to kick out at the last moment, causing Ken Davison to look up at the official as Dawn Barnes tells him that it was just a count of two. Ken lifts Raven up to his feet, setting him up for a Snap Suplex before dropping a leg across the face before going for another cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Raven weakly manages to get his shoulder off the canvas in time, Davison immediately locks him in a Camel Clutch submission hold, sitting down hard on the lower back as his hands grip tight across the chin of the challenger as he leans back hard. Dawn is checking in on Raven if he is capable of continuing the match, but he signals towards her that he refuses to give in to the submission hold. Ken feels the fingers of Alexander Raven pry away at his grip as he lets go and drives series of elbows in the forehead of the challenger before changing the situation where he locks in Raven in a Crossface submission hold in the middle of the ring as Dawn checks in on whether Raven is willing to give up to the hold. Raven once again refuses before managing to roll over on his back and in the process rolling Ken Davison up for a pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
THR…
Ken manages to kick out at the final moment, breaking the pin attempt as both men get up to their feet at the same time. Ken goes for a clothesline that gets ducked by Raven. Who goes for a German Overhead Released Suplex where Davison manages to land on his feet behind the challenger. Spinning Raven around as he puts on the Iron Claw and Stomach Claw combination finisher.
Adams: Hands of God!!!
Raven is struggling, trying to resist the painful claw hold combination by the champion, but ultimately slowly drops to his knees as the pain is becoming too much for him. Dawn is checking in on Raven as she sees him drop onto his back as she checks his shoulders on the canvas. Grabbing his right arm as she lifts it and it drops to the canvas.
Simone: I think Raven is out Jason!!
Dawn checks in on Raven as she notices that his eyes are closed before she calls for the bell as she can tell that he is out cold.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match by submission!! And Still SCW World Heavyweight Champion!!! Ken Davison!!!!
Ken’s music hits as he lets go off the submission hold and allows Dawn to raise his arm in victory before walking around the ring with his championship belt draped over his shoulder.
While “Godly” Ken Davison continues his celebration, Alexander Raven makes his way back up the aisle. He reaches the top of the stage and is about to head behind the curtains when suddenly WHAM!!! A big boot comes flying out from the parted curtains and catches Alexander full on in the face!!!
Simone: What on Earth!?
Adams: What’s going on…UH OH! THERE’S your answer!
As out onto the stage steps none other than Austin James Mercer!
Simone: Why is he doing this! Alexander Raven just had a hard fought match against the Champion! He can’t defend himself!
Adams: I think that’s the point!
Austin begins putting the boots to the downed Alexander Raven as the bell continuously rings while officials swarm the area, trying to get Austin off of the man! Austin swings wildly and the officials scatter, rather than be struck down by this madman!
Simone: We heard Alexander Raven talking publicly about Wolfslair but I don’t think he expected an answer from THIS particular member!
Austin drags the limp form of Raven up and tucks his head between his knees and wraps his arms around his waistline.
Adams: Oh no…
Austin hauls him up high in position for a powerbomb as the officials beg him not to do it!
Simone: No! Nononono!
But he DOES! Austin powerbombs Alexander Raven off of the stage and through the tables below! The tables shatter in an explosion of wood and sharp splinters and Alexander is left sprawled in the remains, unmoving! Security now rushes out and are ushering Austin away from the edge as the officials and paramedics hurry down offstage to tend to Alexander Raven!
Simone: I-I just can't believe what we just witnessed! Nothing Alexander Raven said about Wolfslair warranted THAT!
Adams: Oh and it’s not over. Not by a LONG shot!
The credits begin to roll as the last shot is that of Austin being ushered backstage and the paramedics tending to the fallen Raven…
THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for this show.
