The show opens up inside of the crowded stands of San Francisco, California's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium with the fans standing and cheering, waving for the attention of the camera. They hold up their signs that show their support for their favorite SCW superstars and the chant is heard throughout the building;

Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!

The holiday mood is in full swing as Christmas trees stand tall in several corners of the building and one giant one stands beside the ring itself. Garland is strung around the ring ropes in all colors and lights twine around the ring posts. The staff themselves are even taken with the holiday mood as both Belinda Simone and Jason Adams are clad in red with the much required Santa hats adorning their scalps.

Ring announcer Justin Decent stands in the ring, bare chested and dressed in a pair of lycra red booty shorts trimmed in white fur and black boots, along with the Santa hat on his head. He waves to the cheering crowd and brings the microphone up to address the crowd.

Justin: Hello everybody and welcome to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, right here in San Francisco, California!

The crowd on hand cheers with hearty enthusiasm at the mere mention of their hometown.

Justin: And more importantly, welcome to the special Christmas edition of Climax Control! Winter Wonderslam!

The fans cheer with excitement.

Justin: Now without further ado, may I present to you our holiday hostess, Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!

The fans cheer and applaud as the music starts and Amanda sashays out onto the stage, dressed in a classic Mrs. Clause costume, complete with white curly wig and horn rimmed glasses. She waves at the crowd and the performance begins.

Amanda: Season's beatings, are you listening?
In the ring, blood is glistening
A beautiful sight
The crowd is rabid tonight
Watching all the Winter Wonderslam!

Gone away is the silence
Here to stay is the violence
The blood is on cue
All just for you
Watching all the Winter Wonderslam!

In the ring, we can build a steel cage
We'll pretend we're just having fun
The ref asks, "Are you ready?"
We'll say, "No rage
But we'll build until the match is won!"

Christian and Mark'll conspire
For a table that's on fire
Make the wrestler have fits
That make the fans chant "Holy Shit!"

The fans applaud and Amanda prances around the stage, waving and blowing kisses before vanishing into the back.

The camera then pans toward ringside where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit in their holiday finest.

Simone: Hello one and all and Happy Holidays! On behalf of my colleague Jason Adams...

Jason pops a large candy cane from between his lips with an audible 'pop'.

Simone: I am Belinda Simone and welcome not only to SCW Winter Wonderslam, but this evening marks the 350th edition of Climax Control!

Adams: ANNNND it's the official 'Going Home' show for the first Supercard of 2023 - Inception VI!

Simone: Indeed this evening marks so much to bring 2022 to a dramatic close, and tonight kicks off as the Number One Contender for the Bombshell Internet Championship, Mercedes Vargas, steps inside of the ring against the 6'1" Zoey Lukas!

Adams: Jessie Salco is scheduled for one more round against Melissa at Inception VI but tonight she has to face Seleana Zdunich!

Simone: Helluva Bottom Carter has been cleared to compete for the first time this cycle but his first match back could not be more daunting as he faces one of three men challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at Inception VI - Mac Bane!

Adams: Goth is going to challenge "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart for the Roulette title at Inception VI but tonight both men team with their ladies for a mixed tag team battle!

Simone: Daniel Morgan of London Underground returns to the ring and he squares off against the former Roulette Champion Miles Kasey!

Adams: It's a Battle of the Greats as Matthew Knox went out and asked for a match against long-time rival "Chronic" Chris Page and tonight that match is made real!

Simone: And then we have a tag team Main Event by special request of the reigning World Champion Masque! Tonight she teams with Avalon Blackthorn and together they will face the formidable combination of Krystal Wolfe and the reigning Roulette Champion, Ariana Angelos!

Adams: It's a Clash of the Champs tag match!

Simone: All this and more on SCW Winter Wonderslam!




Backstage, SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas is dressed in a sky blue variation of her ring attire, honoring her native Argentina in their run in the World Cup. Tellingly, there's a promotional poster of Inception VI, five weeks from Sunday, set upon an easel just behind her.

Mercedes: This year has not panned out the way that I had hoped but you know something? Despite the setbacks I've had over the last 11 months, 2022 hasn't been all that bad. I still set, tied, or extended numerous records, and the SCW record books is still my autobiography. That said, I want to close out 2022 with a bang, but Zoey Lukas stands in my way. This is going to be a problem.

Mercedes nods her head while mouthing the words "a very big problem."

Mercedes: This has been a long time coming. And you know what the fun part about that is, Zoey Lukas? We get to set the stage for everyone else in the locker room tonight. The differences between us are many, but what's more important is that I'm coming in with a little momentum on my side tonight. That tough loss to Tempest left a bad taste in your mouth and it's my job to leave a sour taste. In your mind, this is your chance to add another Hall of Famer to your body count. But, see, while Jessie and Samantha will roll over for you, this Hall of Famer will not.

Mercedes does a single wag of her finger while shaking her head in the negative.

Mercedes: You're big, you're bad, and, yeah, you're one of the hardest hitters in the locker room. But that's not going to stop me. You come with that fight. Bring that same aggression that you've been showing since you debuted here, mamita. Because tonight, win or lose, you will find out first hand why this Latina is nothing to fuck with.




WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP - FATAL FOURWAY
"Godly" Ken Davison © v Jack Washington v Mac Bane v Matthew "the Raven" Knox




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control #350 where we see the competitors in tonight's opening contest Zoey Lukas and Mercedes Vargas waiting to hear what festive stipulation awaits them.

Simone: Zoey Lukas has been impressive since she made her SCW debut but tonight she faces her toughest singles match to date as she takes on Mercedes Vargas!

Adams: And Mercedes is set to challenge Kayla Richards for the Bombshell Internet Title at Inception VI so you know she's going to be motivated to send a message to Zoey's Wolfslair partner!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready ladies?

Zoey and Mercedes nod before Rocky spins the festive wheel, it goes around for a bit before it finally stops on........

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight's opener will be a Garland Match!

Simone: That's basically a Strap Match but with a Garland connecting the two competitors!

Adams: The Garland is a legal weapon so this could get ugly!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck!

Zoey and Mercedes walk off as the scene fades.




Simone: Welcome to Winter Wonderslam! The final Climax Control episode of the year will kick off with the young upstart Zoey Lukas taking on Mercedes Vargas in a Garland Match!

Adams: The Garland Match is basically a Strap Match but with a Garland instead of a strap! First to touch all four corners wins! And with this being the last episode of the year both Zoey and Mercedes are looking to head into 2023 with some momentum on their side!

Simone: This should be a good one! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following is your opening contest of the evening scheduled for one fall and is a Garland Match! First competitor to touch all for corners wins!

"Dancing with the dead" by Crown the Empire hits and a green spotlight hits the stage. Zoey comes out and stands in the middle of it with a small smile on her face.

Justin: Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia! Standing 6ft 1 and weighing 195ibs, ZOEY LUKAS!

She throws her hands across her chest in an X with her hands up in the metal horns. She makes her way down to the ring looking at the fans with a small smirk shaking her head before running and jumping onto the apron sliding across her knee, she pops up and does the X again before getting into the ring.

Simone: Zoey joined SCW earlier this year and quickly proved herself to be a force to be reckoned with!

Adams: She hasn't faced someone like Mercedes though!

Justin: And her opponent!

Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.

Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!

Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponent to arrive.

Simone: Mercedes has done it all in SCW but many are wondering if she still has it!

Adams: She won her last match against Jessie Salco but that match happened minutes after Melissa hospitalized Jessie's cousin Harper Mason! I think it's safe to say that Mercedes is looking to get a win that's without controversy tonight!

Drew goes over the rules with Zoey and Mercedes before making sure that they are securely attached to the Garland and calling for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And the opening match is underway!

Adams: This will be a good one!

Once the bell rings Zoey and Mercedes start pulling on the garland connecting them in a test of strength, after a few seconds Zoey's height, strength and weight advantage over Mercedes does her well as Zoey pulls the veteran in and goes for a clothesline but Mercedes ducks the attempt and makes a dive for the corner right behind Zoey, an attempt that Zoey counters by pulling on the garland tightly causing Mercedes to stop just short of the turnbuckle.

Simone: Mercedes almost had an early advantage over Zoey but Zoey's quick thinking put a stop to that!

Adams: Almost only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes Belinda!

Mercedes doesn't even get a chance to recover from the attempt as Zoey wraps the garland around Mercedes's neck and starts choking her! Drew warns Zoey about violating the rules but Zoey points out that the only way to win is by touching the four posts in order and Drew backs off! But the momentary distraction allows Mercedes to get back to her feet and she starts trying to fight out of the choke! Mercedes eventually does by ramming Zoey back first into the corner turnbuckle breaking the hold, however.........

Justin: Zoey Lukas leads at one pole to Mercedes Vargas's nil.

Simone: That's an interesting situation, Mercedes had to break Zoey's choke but in the meantime she gave her younger opponent an early lead!

Adams: I always thought you had to touch the turnbuckle with your hand but I guess being backed into the turnbuckle works too!

Zoey grins upon realizing that se had a lead but Mercedes immediately springs to action as she spins around and starts firing punches at Zoey's face! Zoey recovers from the surprise attack as she picks up Mercedes in a flapjack position and starts walking away from the turnbuckle, but Mercedes takes her chance and slaps the top turnbuckle from atop Zoey's shoulders.

Justin: Mercedes Vargas has tied Zoey Lukas at one turnbuckle each!

Simone: And some quick thinking from Mercedes has tied the turnbuckles at one each!

Adams: Zoey seems to have realized it too!

Zoey stops upon hearing Justin's announcement and Mercedes starts using the distraction to try to break free of Zoey's grip and manages to slip out the back instinctively going for a Sunset Flip! But even if pinfalls counted in this match type, Zoey's weight advantage is too much for Mercedes to bring down this way as Zoey grabs Mercedes by her throat before throwing the veteran onto her shoulders and hitting her with a running Turnbuckle Powerbomb into the opposite corner, however Zoey quickly realizes her mistake and once Mercedes is out of the way Zoey slaps the top turnbuckle.

Justin: Zoey Lukas and Mercedes Vargas have tied the series at one apiece!

Simone: If Mercedes had hit the remaining two turnbuckles beforehand, Zoey could've cost herself the match!

Adams: But now the countdown begins, if neither Zoey nor Mercedes hit the other turnbuckles soon then the counter will reset!

Mercedes uses the distraction to get away from Zoey via crawling out from the corner through the gap in her legs tripping up the taller and larger bombshell in the process and causing her to hit the middle turnbuckle on the way down knocking herself loopy, Drew takes time to make sure that Zoey isn't concussed but once it becomes apparent that Zoey is otherwise fie he backs off and lets Mercedes drag herself to the other corners.

Simone: Mercedes has a chance to claim victory here!

Adams: If she can make it before Zoey recovers!

However as Zoey is pretty much dead weight at the moment Mercedes is slower to reach the turnbuckles! Indeed, just as Mercedes seems set to reach the far-right turnbuckle........

Justin: 60 seconds has expired! The counter has reset to zero.

Simone: Ohhh, so close for Mercedes!

Adams: And great timing for Zoey as she is back up!

Zoey gets back up to her feet and starts pulling on the garland as Mercedes tries to restart the count again! But then Zoey decides to drop all pretences and sprints across the ring before nailing Mercedes with a running Big Boot!

Simone: Picking up Teeth! Zoey nails it!

Adams: I think I saw Mercedes's head land in the fifth row! Stick a fork in her, she's done!

Zoey doesn't bother going for the pin as she starts slapping the four corners and succeeds in hitting the first two turnbuckles, but Mercedes starts to stir as Zoey makes her way to the third turnbuckle and starts to resist Zoey's attempts in an attempt to stay in the match! But ultimately it proves fruitless as Zoey manages to hit all four corners!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, Zoey Lukas!

Simone: Zoey gets the win in the last opener of the year!

Adams: I'd be worried if I were the champions in the Bombshell division because Zoey might set her sights on them in the New Year!

Zoey celebrates her win as Drew checks on Mercedes.




WORLD BOMBSHELL CHAMPIONSHIP
Masque © v Amber Ryan




Jessie: I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them.

It is with that quote that Jessie Salco steps into view with her arms crossed and a frown on her face.

Jessie: I'm willing to bet that most people know that quote from that famous scene in Pulp Fiction, you know? When Samuel L Jackson's character is about to execute a dude? One of my favourite movies.

Jessie shakes her head.

Jessie: The ORIGINAL quote is from the bible, Ezekiel 25:17 to be exact! I hope your happy Melissa because you've got a hardcore atheist googling Bible Quotes!

Jessie admits before she leans against the wall.

Jessie: Last week was just the start Melissa, now I seriously doubt that you would've beaten Masque even without my help but it wasn't about helping Masque beat an upcoming Bombshell, it was about sending a message!

Jessie says as she cracks her neck from side to side.

Jessie: You crossed a line that no wrestler should ever cross Melissa, you attacked a civilian! Harper is a wrestler in training and a former Amateur Wrestling Standout with a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo sure, but she isn't employed by SCW, and to make matters worse? Harper told me that you attacked her from behind as she was getting a snack from a vending machine.

Jessie shakes her head in disgust.

Jessie: Meaning that you didn't even have the decency to attack her from the front, you had to wait until her back is turned! Now Harper is on the injured reserve list at Hero Academy and won't be able to train there until the second week of January at the earliest, all because you wanted to hype a match that already had significant hype surrounding it! Because apparently the final match in our trilogy didn't have enough hype already.

Jessie sighs as she brushes some hair over her shoulders.

Jessie: Ego dilexi te in tenebris.

Jessie says in Latin as she glares at the camera.

Jessie: I'll reveal in due time what that quote says when translated from Latin, because if nothing else I beat Mark Ward is scratching his head at that one! Melissa, I'll give you the same warning I gave you last week! Watch your back, because otherwise I might just cost you another match, only this time it would be a lot worse, because I'd be costing you a match against the Barnharts and no one deserves to lose against Bea Barnhart!

Jessie scoffs as she looks at her nails.

Jessie: Well, except maybe those who attack teenaged relatives of their rivals!

Jessie says before glaring at the camera again.

Jessie: As we head into the rubber match at Inception VI Melissa I want you to remember one last bible quote, the same quote that I just spoke in Latin, because I think it'll describe our mindsets heading into the first PPV of 2023!

Jessie adds as she walks up to the camera.

Jessie: Romans 5:8: I loved you at your darkest!

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




The camera drops back to where Ms. Rocky Mountains is standing next to Jessie Salco and Seleana Zdunich, ready to spin the wheel.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready?

Both women nod and Ms. Rocky Mountains spins the wheel. The two wait until the wheel stops spinning and lands on.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: It's a Santa's Sleigh match. To win the match, you must place your opponent on a sleigh to be dragged out of the arena.

Jessie and Seleana nod at each other and the camera cuts back to ringside.




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for thirty minutes as this is our special Santa's Sleigh match!!! The winner of the match is the first one that is able to send her opponent inside the sleigh.

The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie The arena cuts to black as the slow guitar intro of "Blood Lightning" by Lutharo is heard over the PA System, right as the song launches into the opening guitar solo the lights start to flash across the arena before a single spotlight shines on Jessie headbanging to the song.

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

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

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, standing in at 5'10 and weighing in at 125 pounds! Hailing from Los Angeles, California!!! Seleana Zdunich!!!

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

DING DING DING!

The bell rings as we see the Santa Sleigh stand at the entrance way with elves surrounding the sleigh as they throw Christmas presents towards the crowd. We see Seleana and Jessie circle each other before charging the ropes on opposite sides before colliding into each other where Seleana sets Jessie up for a running clothesline. But Jessie ducks the clothesline before jumping the ropes on the opposite side and executes a Springboard Back Elbow to the jaw of Seleana. Jessie grabs her by the hair and tosses her to the outside before running towards the ropes and executes a suicide dive through the ropes and crashes in on Seleana whom hits the security railing with authority.

Simone: Jessie is really in a bad mood ever since what happened recently when Melissa attacked her cousin!!

Adams: True Belinda, let's just hope that this won't cause her to lose this match as we all know that Seleana is an established competitor.

Jessie grabs her by the hair and drags her towards the Santa Sleigh, but halfway the walk towards the ring we see Seleana get to her feet and wrap her arms around Jessie's body and executes a Back Suplex. This causes Jessie to let go off the grip that she had on Seleana's hair. Both bombshells are now sprawled over the entrance ramp near the sleigh as the reindeer turn their attention to see why the two ladies are flattened on their back. We ultimately see Seleana get to her feet as she looks straight up on the snout of a reindeer and staggers backwards, falling backwards over Jessie Salco as she had forgotten her opponent. Jessie gets up and looks around and laughs out loud before turning her attention towards her opponent. Seleana had already gotten back to her feet as she hits a dropkick to Jessie as that sends her against the side of the sleigh, causing some Christmas music to start playing as we see an elf get up and starts to do a dance that causes the fans to cheer for him. Seleana sets Jessie up for a Snap Suplex, only to have Jessie block her attempt and reverses it into a snap suplex of her own. We see the legs fly towards the sleigh, but gets blocked by the elf as he catches her feet as this prevents her to hit the edge of the sleigh.

Adams: Isn't that a nice elf???

Simone: You do understand that he is holding onto Seleana's boots without her permission right??

The elf realizes what he is doing and lets go, runs off to the back as he doesn't want to become a part of the match himself. Jessie grabs Seleana and prepares her to be send off the rampway, Seleana hits the cardboard boxes and is sprawled around as we see Jessie stand over the ledge of the ramp and stares down her opponent.

Simone: That's a vicious side of Jessie that I have not often seen from her.

Adams: I agree, I.... OH MY GOD!!!

Simone: It's Melissa!! Damnit!!!

We see Melissa get behind Jessie and grabs her by the arm and sends her onto the outside of the entrance way. Jessie falls face first next to Seleana Zdunich, she gets down and grabs Jessie by the head and whips her against the side of the entrance ramp before setting her up for her patented Shade of Black, but gets stopped by every official from the back as she is forced to be send back to the locker room.

Simone: Damnit!!! Can't she just stay out of Jessie's business??

Adams: well Belinda, Jessie did actually cost Melissa the win over Masque last week.

We hear the crowd boo the actions from Melissa as we see the camera crew zooming in on both women to see who may get to their feet the first. Ultimately we see Seleana get to her feet and shakes her head, not believing the fact that Jessie is actually on her back while holding both hands to her face as she is clearly in more pain than Seleana. Seleana shrugs her shoulders in wondering why Jessie is down and grabs her by the arms as she drags her all the way to the beginning of the entrance way before heading over toward The Santa's sleigh. She spins around and sets Jessie up for a slam, but Jessie manages to slip out of the grip and pushes Seleana face first towards the sleigh as she manages to block her path by putting her hand on the sleigh. Sighing of relief as she realizes that she has not been rolled into the sleigh and lose as she turns around and we see Jessie charge in on her with a completely bruised face. But Seleana leans down and sets Jessie up for a Back Body Drop. Throwing Jessie over her shoulder towards the Sleigh.

Adams: Seleana is going to do it!!!

Simone: No!!!!

Jessie manages to extend her arms and legs as that causes her to land above the sleigh as she managed to have her legs and arms over the side of the sleigh and not officially fallen inside the sleigh.

Adams: What a save!!!!

Seleana has her arms raised in the air, expecting a victory over the Hall of Famer as Jessie manages to grab her by the head and yanks it back as we see Seleana's back of her head hit the bottom of the sleigh and falls down onto the ground. This gives Jessie the chance to get back off the sleigh and tenderly walks towards her opponent as she grabs her by the legs and sets her up for a catapult to send Seleana into the sleigh. Only to have Seleana block the move by extending her arms and grab the leg of one of the elves that were standing next to the reindeers. Causing the elves to run off in fear as this causes the Christmas presents to be dropped and hit both Bombshells in the head.

Adams: This is one of the weirdest matches I have ever seen!!!

Jessie slowly gets to her feet, she grabs the now seemingly unconscious Seleana Zdunich as the Christmas present that hit her was actually very heavy. Jessie once again sets her up for a catapult as she stares into the camera with a very angry look on her face.

Jessie: Watch this Melissa!! You are going to be next very soon!!!!

She ultimately drops backwards, sending Seleana into the sleigh as this causes the bell to be rang as Jessie is victorious.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match by sending Seleana Zdunich into the Santa's Sleigh!!! Jessie Salco!!!

Jasmine St. John grabs the arm of Jessie and lifts it up in the air and awards the victory towards the Hall of Famer as jessie looks around as she is searching for a glimpse from Melissa but realizes that she is already gone from the arena. Jessie yanks her arm out of the grip from Jasmine and walks towards the back as she prepares herself for Christmas before finally getting her hands on Melissa in the new year.

Simone: Jessie is ready!!!




INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
Alexander Raven © v Fenris




O'Malley and his wife Darcy are seen backstage, having a quiet conversation to themselves. O'Malley grins and Darcy lets out a short laugh as their conversation remains unknown to the rest of the viewers. A few moments later their attention is stolen away by a familiar cheery holiday voice.

"HO! HO! HO!"

O'Malley raises an eyebrow and Darcy just smiles as the camera pans back to see Santa Claus approaching them, his magical bag of gifts and goodies with him.

O'Malley: Err, if yer lookin' fer our kids, yer out of luck. They aren't here tonight, fella. Though I'm wishin' now we'd brought 'em.

Darcy: Sweetie, I don't think he's here for the kids.

O'Malley glances at Darcy when Santa laughs.

Santa: Indeed, she's correct! The gift I have is for you, and not your little ones! Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Santa then reaches into his bag and pulls out a rectangular shaped wrapped box, complete with a bow. He waved to them both before turning and continuing on his jolly way to deliver more presents. O'Malley looks down at the box curiously, almost afraid to open it.

Darcy: Well? Open it!

O'Malley: Yer way too excited about this, love. It's probably something ridiculous.

He shrugs but then proceeds to start tearing the wrapping paper off anyway. Darcy looks just as excited as her kids would be, and O'Malley opens the box and pulls out...papers? But judging by the smile on his face, whatever it is, is a very good thing.

Darcy: what is it?

O'Malley: It...it's a contract.

Darcy: A contract? For what?!

He smiles even wider and turns his attention very slowly to her before showing her the contract.

O'Malley: For a match. A mixed tag team match, actually. The both of us...against The Troll and Kitty Lytter!

Darcy's jaw drops open and for a moment it appears as though she's terrified at the thought of getting into the ring, given the fact she's not a wrestler. But moments later she grins wickedly and throws her arms around her husband, looking forward to the chance at getting her hands on The Trolls trashy little girlfriend. And O'Malley is equally looking forward to another chance at beating the snot out of The Troll.

Oh! Merry Christmas, indeed!




Once again, the camera returns to Ms. Rocky Mountains, this time with Mac Bane and Helluva Bottom Carter.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: And your match type will be.

Rocky spins the wheel and the three wait.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Geez, a glass bulb match. I think you both know what that means.

Mac nods firmly as Carter sighs.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck!

The camera moves back to ringside.




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it will be contested under Christmas Glass bulb rules!!!! Where everywhere outside the ring is completely surrounded by Glass lightbulbs!!!

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 the start of the match/his opponent's introduction.

Justin: And his opponent!!!

The opening guitar riffs of "The Enemy" by Godsmack play as the big man makes his way out. By his side is his manager, "Chronic" Chris Page. The crowd is giving them a mixed reaction from the first sounds. The booing is almost thunderous. He laughs as they make their way toward the ramp.

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

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

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

Justin: Currently in the ring, standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 280 pounds!! Hailing from Port Arthur, Texas!! Being accompanied to the ring by "Chronic" Chris Page!! Mac Bane!!!!!

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang for the special Christmass Glass Bulb match, where the entire ring is surrounded by lightbulbs as well as Christmass Bells and other Christmas decorations. We see Jacob Summers signalling towards Mac Bane and Carter for the match to start. We see Carter smile and approach the former champion, who looks him up and down before delivering a huge forearm smash against the face that sends Carter staggering into the corner. There Mac executes series of knife edge chops tot he chest of Carter before whipping him into the opposite turnbuckles as Mac immediately follows him towards the same corner. There we see Carter jump up the middle turnbuckles and then jumps over Mac and lands behind him before executing a dropkick into hi back that sends Mac crashing into the turnbuckles as Carter quickly gets back to his feet.

Adams: That move didn't cause Mac Bane much pain I do believe.

Simone: True, but I believe this may just anger the big man.

Mac slowly turns around, Carter grabs his right hand and sets Mac Bane up fora n Irish Whip, but Mac uses his size and strenght advantage to remain in the corner. Carter tries again before turning his attention back towards Mac Bane and gets whipped back into the corner where the former champion stood in and executes a big boot that knocks Carter down to the canvas in a seated position. Mac takes a few steps back before measuring Carter for a running knee, but Carter wisely rolls out of the ring in order to prevent Mac Bane to hit him in the face with the knee.

Adams: Smart move from Carter!!

Mac steps over the top rope and and jumps to the outside before turning his attention towards Carter. Who had awaited him as he had grabbed some of the glass bulbs wrapped around a Christmas Garland, causing the bulbs to smash into Mac who has covered the majority of his face with his arms and hand.

Simone: That's one big time Christmas wrapping!!!

Mac staggers backwards as we see Carter jump on the steel ringsteps before getting on the ring apron as he jumps off and executes a Hurricanrana off the ring apron as that sends Mac Bane crash face first into the lightbulbs as this getst he fans all worked up.

Crowd: Holy shit!! Holy Shit!!!

We see Carter get back to his feet, all worked up because of pulling off such a move off the ring apron against a former World Champion. High Fiving some of the fans before turning his attention back to Mac Bane, who is slowly getting back to his feet. Carter has reached out and has grabbed a Santa hat and pushes it over the head of Mac Bane, causing him to be blinded in the proces.

Adams: I guess Mac is going to find out whether Santa thinks he has been a good boy this year!!!

Simone: Err.....,

Carter grabs him by the head as he jumps up and sets himself up for another Hurricanrana, but Mac wraps his powrful arms around the midsection and blasts Carter against the ring apron before turning around and hits him against the ring apron again before dropping him on the ground with all of the lightbulbs are covering the ground. He yanks off the Santa hat from his face before starting to punch Carter with it as he has it wrapped around his fist. He throws the Santa hat away as some of the fans are booing him for it. Mac grab the head of Carter and lifts him up to his feet, wrapping his arms around the midsection before driving him spine first into the steel ring post as this causes some of the Christmas Bells that were attached to the ring post. Mac drops Carter before looking around with a stare of anger on his face.

Simone: I think Carter just pissed off Mac Bane.

Mac grabs Carter by the arm and head before rolling him inside the ring as he looks around the ring and notices a Christmas Kendo Stick that is completely covered with Christmas items before staring towards the ring for a few moments as he notices Carter not moving.

Adams: Mac he .... He is smiling!!!!

Simone: What is going on inside that head of his??

Mac grabs the kendo stick, looks at the angel hair that is wrapped around on the top of the Kendo Stick surrounded by some lights that changes colours every few seconds. He slides the kendo stick into the ring and grabs the top rope to climb onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes. Only to be surprised by Carter who has reached over and grabbed the Christmas kendo stick and drops it across his back with authority. We see the normally smiling face of Carter changed into one that showcases aggression. He breaks the kendo stick after several shots as this causes some of the angel hair get dropped everywhere on the ring as well as on top of Mac Bane, causing him to scratch himself because of the itch that it produces as well of rolling around because of the pain. Carter places the biggest part of the broken kendo stick and places it around the throat of Mac in an attempt to choke him out while Mac pushes his hand towards the face of Carter in an attempt to push him off of him. Finally we see Mac wrap both hands around the face and start to squeeze the skull of Carter while Carter continues to use his choke hold on the former champion as the official looks on without being able to do anything to interfere.

Simone: This is the hardcore side of Carter that we have been missing!!!!

Carter screams out loud when Mac's fingers dig close to his eyes as that forces him to relinquish the hold that he had with the broken kendo stick. Mac pushes Carter off of him as he slowly gets to his feet, shaking off the final bits of the angel hair as we see some itch spots on his back where the hair had been on. He grabs the arm of Carter and whips him into the ropes before dropping him with a massive clothesline before dropping down and goes for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

THRE...

Carter manages to kick out just in time before Jacob Summers could count to three. Mac starts to punch Carter in the face several times before pulling him up to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckles, but Carter manages to jump over him in an attempt to escape him. Only to have Mac Bane grab him midway the move and holds him over his shoulder before dropping him hard on the canvas with a running Powerslam. We witness Carter bounce off the canvas before Mac Bane grabs both legs and puts him in a pinning position as Jacob Summers goes for another three count

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match by pinfall!!! Mac Bane!!!!!

Mac's music hits as Jacob Summer lifts his arm in the air for the victory. Mac quickly rolls out of the ring and walks off to the back as the medics take a look on how Carter is doing after the match.




BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
"Dreamkiller" Kayla Richards © v Mercedes Vargas




We are taken backstage where a camera person has their camera focused on Bill and Bea Barnhart. When their image comes on the Tron screen the majority of the fans start booing. Bill and Bea ignore their boos and taunts and move on with their comments concerning their Mixed Tag Team match against Goth and Melissa.

Bill: BOO to all of you also! You have no respect for me as a two-time Roulette Champion! Just watch how I destroy Goth in our Mixed Tag Team match tonight then watch how I destroy him further, and finish him off for good, in the Roulette Championship Match at Inception VI in January 2023.

Bea: I will be in Bill's corner for that Roulette Championship match to ensure Goth doesn't arrange for a bunch of goons to lurk around to interfere in the match.

The crowd rises up in loud boos again at the comments Bill and Bea just made.

Bill: You all can say what you want, disrespect me however you want, but the bottom line remains the same. I'm entering this Mixed Tag Team match to beat the hell out of Goth for all the things he did to me when I worked with him in another wrestling federation. I will leave Goth in a heap of a bruised body and bruised bones and maybe a few cuts for amusement. After I destroy Goth tonight he won't be in any shape at Inception VI to successfully mount a challenge to MY Roulette Championship!

Bea: Tonight our match is going to show you what Bill and I are made of. It will show you why Bill is Roulette Champion. You will also see how well I perform against Melissa. Stop underestimating us because you're wasting your time.

The crowd gets to loud in their booing that Bill and Bea end their pre-match comments.

Bill: Apparently our comments aren't enough to get you non-believers to believe so me and Bea will show you by our actions in our match that we back up what we say.

Bea: You heard what Bill said. Place your bets on our team for the win otherwise you will lose your bet and your money.

As the crowd gets loud again Bill and Bea turn and start their walk to the staging area to be ready for their match and the camera person turns their camera off and the Tron screen goes dark.




The scene opens backstage where we see the SCW Roulette Champion Bill Barnhart alongside his wife Bea standing across from Goth and Melissa as they wait for their match type to be decided.

Simone: Goth and Bill will face off in Bill's first defence of the new year but we are getting a preview of that with this Mixed Tag Match!

Adams: And Bea and Melissa look ready for action!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: You guys ready?

Both teams nod before Rocky spins the wheel, it goes around for a few minutes before it finally stops on.........

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Naughty or Nice!

Simone: There will be presents sprawn across the ring, each containing a weapon that can be used in the match! As this is a tag match it will be contested under Tornado Tag Rules though the usual intergender rules apply!

Adams: Meaning that Melissa had better keep an eye out for Jessie!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck guys!

Both teams walk off as the scene fades.




Simone: Welcome back to Winter Wonderslam and this next match promises to be a wild affair as Bill and Bea Barnhart team up to take on Goth and Melissa in a Naughty or Nice Match!

Adams: Don't worry folks! We're not talking about their exploits in the bedroom! You see those presents? Each one contains a weapon and both teams must use the weapons within! It's Tornado Tag Rules and intergender rules apply as always!

Simone: What's more to say? Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen this is a Mixed Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall and it will be a Naughty or Nice Match!

Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar.

Justin: Introducing team number one, the SCW Roulette Champion Bill Barnhart and Bea Barnhart!

When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a stage had whilst they enter the ring ready to do battle.

Simone: Bill will face his old rival Goth at Inception VI and there is a LOT of history there!

Adams: No kidding! Those guys have known each other since the GWA days!

Justin: And their opponents! About to enter the arena!

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

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

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

Simone: Goth and Bill go back years and they know each other extremely well! Bea and Melissa? Less so!

Adams: But both teams will be out to end the year on a high note!

Dawn goes over the rules with both teams and once it's clear that they understand the rules she calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Simone: And the first of tonight's tag team matches are underway!

Adams: And the action has gotten underway in a hurry! Bill and Goth are brawling outside the ring and Bea and Melissa are going at it inside the ring!

Indeed, once the bell rings the two teams duke it out with the respective partners going at it with their opposite of the same gender! At first all four wrestlers are inside the ring but that changes when Bill clotheslines Goth over the top rope and to the floor and follows him out leaving the female competitors in the ring! On the outside of the ring Bill has spotted a nearby present and goes to grab it only to get stopped by a spear from Goth! Goth is unsure of the rules of the match so rather than go for the pin he grabs the present that Bill made a grab for and opens it.

Simone: Please tell me that isn't what I think it is?!

Adams: IT IS! It's the speedo Bill wore to that Roulette Rules Match against Agostino Romano and I'm getting flashbacks!

Goth stares at the speedo in horror (clearly one of the "gag gifts") and Melissa, having just taken Bea down with a Snap Suplex, takes a moment to look over at Goth.

Melissa: Goth, watch out!

Melissa's warning breaks Goth out of his horrified trance long enough for him to duck a running clothesline from Bill and start choking him out with the speedo! Melissa nods in approval in the ring but is surprised by a roll up from behind by Bea!

ONE!

TWO!

And Melissa kicks out! Back outside the ring Bill breaks out of the choke by nailing Goth with a low blow forcing him to drop the speedo in the process and allowing Bill to drop Goth with a DDT! Meanwhile Bea has grabbed another present from the nearest turnbuckle and has opened it revealing a weapon, namely a baseball bat!

Simone: Thank god Bea found a weapon this time! After Bill's speedo got uncovered I was worried about what was next!

Adams: And I think it's a safe bet that Goth and Melissa agree with you!

Bea grins upon seeing the bat and swings for the fences at Melissa only for Melissa to duck out of the way and wrestle the bat from Bea's hands before cracking Bea in the forehead with it! Bea drops like a sack of potatoes and rolls to the ring ropes only to get pinned by Melissa regardless!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill puts his wife's foot on the ropes to break it up!

Simone: That's one way for Bill to break up Melissa's pin on Bea whilst respecting the intergender rules!

Adams: And since this is a No DQ Match, it checks out! Though I don't think Goth and Melissa are to happy about this!

Melissa protests to Dawn about Bill's actions but Dawn reminds her that it was within the intergender rules and that it's No DQ anyway! Melissa shakes her head but neither of them realize that Goth has just retrieved a steel chair from one of the presents and cracked it across Bill's back causing the veteran to double over! Bea on the other hand has covered and hits Melissa in the back with the bat before dumping the larger woman over the top rope and to the floor before following her in! Goth decides not to push his luck by intervening on his partner's behalf and instead rolls Bill back into the ring where he starts working over him with the chair.

Simone: Now that roles are reversed! Bea and Melissa have taken their fight to the outside whilst Goth and Bill have taken it to the inside!

Adams: And there's so many unopen presents left lying about too!

Outside the ring Melissa is leaning against the turnbuckle trying to catch her breath and Bea takes the opportunity to swing for head with the baseball bat only for Melissa to duck at the last second and cause the bat to impact against the turnbuckle! Melissa uses this to grab Bea from behind and throw her into the ring steps whilst in the ring Goth his walloping Bill over and over with the chair eventually leaving a large dent in it! Goth throws the chair to the side and turns to Melissa.

Goth: Melissa, grab another gift! Any of them!

Simone: Time will tell if Goth regrets giving Melissa that instruction!

Adams: Might be a while though with the beating Bill and Bea just took!

Melissa shrugs and grabs two gifts throwing one towards Goth and taking one for herself to use on Bea! The camera zooms in on Goth as he opens his to reveal:

Goth: The Troll and Katherine Lytter's Sex Tape.........

Simone: OH DEAR GOD WHY?!

Adams: MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

Goth gives Dawn a "WTF" look and she can only shrug! Goth still opts to go for the pin on Bill whilst shoving the gag gift in Bill's face to distract him!

ONE!

TWO!

And despite the horrific image in his face Bill still kicks out! Back outside the ring Melissa's gift wasn't much better than Goth's as it's shampoo marked "Godly Ken Davison's Special Shampoo" but she doesn't get a chance to process this as Bea takes her down after opening another gift revealing a kendo stick which she cracks over Melissa's stomach and back dropping the former Roulette Champion whilst Bill nails his future challenger from behind with a low blow!

Simone: Whilst we recover from the harrowing imagery that just entered everyone's minds, The Barnharts have wrested control of the match away from Goth and Melissa!

Adams: And whilst I book my first therapy session of the new year, Bill rolls up Goth!

ONE!

TWO!

And Goth kicks out! At this point Bea returns Melissa to the ring and follows her in before motioning to Bill that they should go for a simultaneous pin!

ONE!

Simone: Hey, why not? It's tornado tag rules!

Adams: If Goth and Melissa want to remain in the match they had better kick out at the same time!

TWO!

And Jason's prediction comes true as Goth and Melissa kick out within seconds of each other just barely missing their respective three counts! Whilst The Barnharts regroup the crowd pops as a familiar face appears at ringside.

Simone: Oh, oh! Jessie's back!

Adams: I don't think the participants have noticed either!

Jessie hops over the crowd railing and stalks the ringside area searching through the remaining unopened presents that lay around the ringside area as she does! Back inside the ring the participants start brawling with each other again with the men taking themselves out of the ring with a clothesline and going up the entrance ramp! Jessie seems satisfied with the gift she has opened just as that happened but back inside the ring Melissa has dropped Bea with the Shade of Black!

Simone: SHADE OF BLACK! BEA IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT!

Adams: Stick a fork in Bea, she's done!

Upon seeing this on the titentron Jessie makes her move and has time to plan it as Melissa is taking the opportunity to point it out to Goth who grins as he gets ready to drop Bill with the Chaos ADDT! Melissa finally goes for the pin as Jessie slides in the ring!

ONE!

Goth spots Jessie and tries to charge to the ring after dropping Bill to the side!

TWO!

BILL CATCHES GOTH AND LOCKS HIM IN THE SHOULDER BREAKER! And Jessie breaks up the pin by whacking Melissa over the back with her gift, a barbed wire steel chair!

Jessie: Remember what I said last week Mel?

Jessie continues to work over Melissa with the chair whilst Dawn is powerless to intervene due to the No DQ Nature of the match! As one final blow Jessie hits Mellissa with the Wall of Death 450 Splash whilst holding the chair doing just as much damage to herself in the process right as Bea wakes up!

Jessie: Bea? I never liked you but consider this my Christmas present to you! A pin over a former Roulette Champion!

Simone: Oh my god, Melissa will never live this down! She's about to be pinned by Bea Barnhart!

Adams: And Bill has Goth in the Barnhart Shoulder Breaker meaning her can't do anything to stop this!

Bea quickly gets the idea and she quickly goes for the pin as Jessie leaves the ring and heads to the backstage area.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners, Bill and Bea, the BARNHARTS!

Simone: Well if Melissa didn't hate Jessie before, she will after she cost her a match against Bea Barnhart!

Adams: And to make things worse for Goth? This has given Bill a lot of momentum heading into the New Year! Talk about a one-two punch by Jessie!

Bill finally lets go of the submission (Goth had been tapping this whole time but Dawn was in no position to see it) and races down the ramp to join his wife in celebration! Goth on the other hand rolls into the ring to check on Melissa with Dawn as Jessie retreats into the crowd.




ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
"Bulldog" Bill Barnhart © v Goth




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Krystal Wolfe pacing around a bit, the Aussie Bombshell clearly has a lot on her mind heading into tonight's Main Event.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal, do you have a minute?

Krystal looks up and sees Ms. Rocky Mountains approaching her in her festive garb.

Krystal: Let me guess, main event?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yes, and that mistake you and Ari made in your promos about Avalon.

Krystal sighs as she runs a hand through her long hair.

Krystal: Look, I know we both incorrectly called Avalon's Amber's sister, that was something we didn't realize until Avalon tweeted about it! But given that we knew next to nothing about Avalon before this match was announced and just assumed that she and Amber were related due to how close they were? That mistake was on us.

Krystal admits as she folds her arms.

Krystal: And if all goes well? It'll be the only mistake me and Ari make tonight!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: That is the other part of it, the only reason you were talking about Avalon in the first place was because you and Ari are facing her and Masque in your final Climax Control Match of the year.

Krystal: Me and Jessie against Team Hero last year and now this, I can't help but step into shit around this time of year, can't I?

Krystal shakes her head.

Krystal: Is this how I wanted to end the year? Absolutely not, hell Ari has told me point blank that she would've much preferred a title defence to this tag match but sometimes you've got to take what you can get in this business!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Do you think the Go Sisters can beat Avalon and Masque tonight?

Krystal: If it was literally any other team, I'd answer "I know we can", but against Masque and her protégé? Who happens to be connected in some way to Amber Ryan? I'm not so sure!

Krystal shakes her head.

Krystal: What I do know is that me and Ari won't go down without a fight!

Krystal walks off as the scene fades.




We return to the busiest woman of the night, Ms. Rocky Mountains as she waits with Miles Kasey and Daniel Morgan.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Here we are with Daniel Morgan and Miles Kasey, time to spin the wheel.

Rocky spins the wheel and all their eyes look towards the spinning object.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Gentlemen, you will be competing in a Santa's Helper match.

Rocky tries to hide a smile.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Which means you will be both dressed as elves.

Daniel runs his hand down his face, mouthing the words "for fucks sake" toward Miles as the camera cuts away.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall and is a Santa's Little Helper match... introducing first... hailing from Manchester, England... Kasey Miles...

"Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. He bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand springboarding backwards into a superhero pose as the fans go crazy!

Justin: and his opponent...

The lights in the arena dim slightly as the distinct opening chords of Imagine Dragons "I'm So Sorry" starts to play over the speaker. The drumbeat kicks in as every eye in the area looks towards the entrance ramp. Images of London flashes on the main screen, along with the members of London Underground. The fans boo as Daniel J Morgan walks on to the ramp.

Justin: From Bethnal Green, East London, England, introducing... Daniel J Morgan,

He stands calmly on the ramp although unimpressed in what he has to wear, Daniel looks around the crowd. He slowly start to walk down the ramp, mostly ignoring the fans as he move's along. Daniel stands by the ring with a picture of calmness on his face as he looks up at the ring and starts to walk up the steps. He lifts his nearest legs to the ropes and steps in the ring, ducking his body and moving in to the ring. He puts his arms out to the fans and they boo before moving to a corner and warms up.

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

DING DING DING!

Kasey and Morgan look at each other, as Kasey stays in his corner as Morgan stands in the centre of the ring, as he aims some verbal abuse towards Kasey as he mocks him for the elves costume, as Kasey smirks and soak in everything aimed at him before diving forward and hitting a boot to Morgan's face and sends him down to the mat. Kasey looks down at Morgan, as Morgan shuffles away to the corner, where he pulls himself up as Kasey hypes himself up, before rushing in and leaps with a forearm smash. He then drags Morgan from the corner and then hits a European uppercut and drops Morgan to the mat.

Simone: They both look good with their Santa's little helper outfits but Morgan mocks Kasey, but Kasey responds with a boot to the face to get this match going.

Adams: Kasey isn't done, and he charges in and hits a forearm smash on Morgan who was in the corner trying to recover. Kasey then follows up with a European uppercut.

Morgan gets to his knees but is shaken and unsteady as Kasey paces a little as he adjusts the green pants before turning back to Morgan and goes to approach him, but Morgan climbs to his feet and catches Kasey with a kick in the stomach, who stumbles away to the ropes as Morgan follows and grabs his hand and puts him in a wrist lock before him against the ropes and then Irish whips his across the ring, where Kasey bounces off the ropes opposite and as he comes back, Morgan goes for a wild swing, which Kasey ducks and rolls forward before using that momentum to roll back and grab Morgan around the head and take him down with a headscissors.

Adams: Morgan is rocked, as Kasey adjusts the elf costume and focuses on Morgan and he approaches Morgan attacks with a kick to the stomach and then goes after him, where he puts in a wrist lock before whipping hm across the ring, but Kasey counters and takes Morgan down with the headscissors.

Morgan climbs to his feet and Kasey kips up, as Morgan turns Kasey hits a dropkick and Morgan drops to the mat and then rolls away and out of the ring and looks to recover, as Kasey climbs back to his feet and watches where Morgan moves to before leaping over the ropes and onto the apron, where he rushes forward and spins in the air and crashes against Morgan and sending him back down to the mat, while Kasey stands to his feet and smirks and adjusts his elf top.

Simone: Kasey uses his speed against Morgan, who then bails from the ring. This is a good little treat for the fans.

Adams: It is as Kasey climbs onto the apron and uses his body as a weapon taking down Morgan.

He turns and approaches Morgan and grabs him and pulls him up, where he grabs him around the head and pulls him around the ring before hitting a chop across the chest. Morgan leans against the barriers, as Kasey grabs him once more and hits another uppercut. The ref who got up to two climbs from the ring and follows Kasey and Morgan and demands the action to be brought back but is ignored. Morgan suddenly grabs Kasey and sticks his thumb in his eye, as the ref admonishes Morgan for it and he releases before grabbing Kasey and drags him along as he shouts at the fans to move and they move. Morgan looks to send Kasey over the barriers but Kasey blocks and fires back with fist against Morgan's head.

Adams: Morgan is in trouble here a little, as Kasey grabs Morgan and hits a knife edge chop and then an uppercut. The ref appears to have given up counting by just getting up to two before following Kasey and Morgan and demanding the action be brough back into the ring. Which of course Kasey and Morgan ignores.

Simone: Morgan quickly turns the tables on Kasey and shoves his thumb into Kasey's, which the ref quickly tells off Morgan and he then tries to send Kasey over the barriers into the fans seating but is blocked and Morgan gets a fist across the side of head.

Morgan stumbles back but quickly rushes in, but Kasey sends him over the barriers, Kasey takes a moment where he rolls in and then out of the ring before backing up and then rushes forward leaping onto the barriers and hits a crossbody onto Morgan and into the seating. Kasey pushes Morgan away before climbing to his feet, where he take a moment as the fans cheer. He then grabs Morgan and sends him back over the barriers and he leaps over them and approaches Morgan and grabs him and rolls him into the ring and follows close behind. Morgan moves away but gets to his feet, where Kasey then grabs him. He hooks his leg and places his other leg across Morgan's head and then grabs his arm and begin to pull for an abdominal type stretch.

Simone: Morgan's plan of sending Kasey into crowd backfires and its Kasey who sends Morgan into the crowd before following up with a crossbody. Again Kasey adjusts his elf costume, I guess it isn't as comfortable as his usual ring attire.

Adams: You think. Both feel perhaps a little self-conscious deep down. But they aren't showing it, as Kasey sends Morgan back over the barriers and back into the ring. Kasey doesn't go for a pin but instead he grabs Morgan and wraps him up.

Kasey rubs his elbow on Morgan's ribs as Morgan grimaces in pain, however, he quickly begins to fight as he free's his arm and then removes Kasey's leg but before he continue, Kasey he bring a forearm across the Morgan's neck and back and he stumbles back dropping to a knee. Kasey turns and grabs Morgan and lifts him up and then bounces his legs off the top rope and then drops backwards and planting Morgan on his back. Kasey climbs back to his feet and moves through the ropes and then leaps over and hits a senton onto Morgan.

Adams: Morgan managers to get free but Kasey is back on him and drops Morgan onto his back before following up with a senton.

Kasey stays on a knee and smirks, as he looks back at Morgan before making his way to his feet but doesn't see Morgan rising back up, who grabs Kasey and throws him through the ropes, which Kasey lands on his feet before climbing onto the apron and Morgan charges forward and Kasey looks to drive his shoulder into Morgan shoulder, but Morgan grabs Kasey and drops down with a DDT before rolling his onto his back and grabs his leg and rolls him up...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Simone: Kasey doesn't go for a pin and instead gets perhaps a little too cocky, as he turns, he is grabbed by Morgan and throws him through the ropes. Kasey attempts to drive a shoulder into Morgan's torso but Morgan blocks it and is hit with a vicious DDT and Morgan goes for the pin... but only gets a two count.

Morgan shakes his head, as Kasey sits up holding his head. Morgan rubs chest before making his way to his feet and approaches Kasey and stomps on his hand, Kasey pulls his hand away before Morgan follow ups with a hard kick to the spine, which Kasey cries out in pain. Morgan then grabs Kasey and yanks him up from the mat and grabs him around the waist and hits a snap suplex. Morgan keeps hold of Kasey and he gets to his feet and drags Kasey to his feet and hits another suplex. Morgan releases and climbs to his feet, as Kasey arches his back, as Morgan approaches Kasey once more and gives him a few stomps before grabbing him once again and pulls him up and Irish whips into the corner, where he follows up with a spinning back fist and then a pele kick.

Adams: Kasey reels from the DDT, as Morgan takes a moment before zoning in on Kasey and begins to punish him.

Simone: Morgan makes a point of it with a spinning back fist and then a pele kick.

Kasey drops down to the mat and Morgan grabs his foot and drags him from the corner and goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Th.. Kickout!

Morgan glares at the ref and tells them to their job properly before going for another pin attempts...

 

Simone: Morgan with the pin but Kasey just kicks out as he questions the ref before going for another pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Morgan shakes his head and slaps the mat, as he grabs Kasey and sits him up and locks in a sleeper hold. Kasey thrashes his legs about as he grabs at Morgan arms, as Morgan yells at the ref to check etc... but the ref says nothing.

Adams: Another pin but Kasey kicks out a little better, but Morgan may be frustrated but he grabs Kasey and locks in a sleeper hold.

Kasey legs soon stops moving as he begins to fade, and the ref recognises this and moves in and takes Kasey's arm and rises it up once... falls.

Morgan smiles...

The ref raises the arm again and it falls...

Morgan urges the ref to hurry up and the ref raises his arm up again and this time it stays up and Kasey begins to move his legs as he twists and gets to his knees as Morgan is forced to move as well and Kasey gets to his feet as does Morgan and Kasey begins to elbow Morgan in the torso, forcing Morgan to release and Kasey shoves Morgan away but Morgan goes for a wild swing, which Kasey ducks and hits mule kick. Morgan double over and Kasey hits a superkick on Morgan.

Simone: The ref goes through the usual check for consciousness, but Kasey keeps his arm up for the third time and battle back to his feet.

Adams: Mule kick and then a superkick to Morgan, which rocks him.

Kasey stumbles backwards and up against the ropes, as he takes a moment and rolls his head about a couple of times before stumbling over to Morgan, where he grabs him and pulls him up between his legs as he looks to finish Morgan, but once up on his feet, Morgan lifts Kasey up and over him and Kasey lands on his back. Kasey arches his back, as Morgan shakes off the superkick and mule kick and he turns and moves to Kasey. He stomps on a few times before ripping Kasey off the mat and hits a short arm clothesline.

Adams: Morgan turns things around against Kasey and now Kasey is in trouble.

Morgan drags Kasey off the mat once again and this time lifts him up onto his shoulders and hits a GTS before going for a pin...

Simone: The GTS finishes off Kasey and Morgan goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Adams: Morgan picks up a win.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Daniel Morgan.

Morgan's music hits over the p.a as he climbs to his feet and raises his arms in victory.

Pussy: Do you always talk to yourself?

Ariana looks up and sees Pussy Willow walking up to her.

Ariana: Only when I'm stressed! And tonight's match stressed me out enough that I had a panic attack when I learned about it last week!

Pussy: I had heard about that! Are you feeling okay?

Ariana: I am feeling a lot better yeah, we finally managed to get Carter out of that horrible situation, I'm feeling good about my chances heading into the match even though me and Krystal made the same mistake in our promos.

Pussy: The sister thing?

Ariana: I knew Kat Jones is Amber's sister and she showed up here around this time last year, I just assumed that it was a similar situation with this Avalon woman and it took me until after the promo for the match aired to learn how wrong I was, worse still I managed to drag Krystal down that same path.

Pussy: Let's turn our attention away from the Main Event for a second because the other major thing surrounding you is who your first challenger of 2023 will be! Christian said that he'll be announcing that challenger tonight!

Ariana nods before she picks up the Roulette Title.

Ariana: Off course, all everyone wants to talk about when you're a champion is who his/her next challenger will be? And how many? And in the case of my title, what stipulation? I've risen to every challenge this title has seen fit to throw my way, whether it's a Submission Match, a Falls Count Anywhere Match, a Spider Web Match or a Black Friday Brawl, am I feeling the pressure of being champion?

Ariana asks before resting the title on her shoulder.

Ariana: Off course I am! But it takes pressure to make diamonds, right?

Pussy: Any preference to who you want to face?

Ariana: Someone new ideally, but I'll take on anyone if it means kicking off 2023 in an epic way! And for all I know the bosses might use tonight's show to determine who gets to face me!

Ariana sighs as she glances at the ground.

Ariana: But I have to survive Masque first! And her protégé for that matter! I've risen to every other challenge in SCW so far, and I'll do the same in tonight's Main Event!

Ariana walks off as the scene fades.




The camera goes backstage where Ms. Rocky Mountains now stand with Chris Page and Matthew Knox. She spins the wheel and looks at the two.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Your match will be....

Page looks towards Knox before looking at the stopping wheel.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: A Santa's stocking cap match.

The two look confused.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Essentially, it's a giant cap.... Justin will explain all. Back to the ring!




Justin: The following contest is a Santa's Stocking Cap match!

The crowd cheers!

Justin: The rules are; both competitors will be fitted with a Santa Stocking over their head as a blindfold. If either men removed their stocking to see, it will be an automatic disqualification!

Adams: A LOT of people have been anxious to see this match between Knox and Page!

Simone: And they could not have found themselves in a more unique environment in doing so!

Justin: Introducing first...!

"Judas" by Fozzy erupts across the sound system of the arena and the crowd is on its feet with anticipation as out onto the stage steps the Hall of Fame Legend, "Chronic" Chris Page! The crowd continues to cheer as Chris stomps across the stage, fist raised, greeting the cheers and he calls out, bellowing at the top of his lungs!

Justin: From Detroit, Michigan! Please welcome back to Sin City Wrestling ... the One! The Only! 'Chronic' Chris Page!

The introductions made, Page immediately begins his descent down towards the ringside area, reaching out to the extended hands of the SCW Universe and slapping those on both sides of the aisle! Page then climbs up onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes where he jumps to the middle of the corner and looks out at the capacity crowd while Ben applauds from where he stands in his own corner!

Justin: And HIS opponent...!

The houselights cut out, a single Raven cries out soon joined by another, then another until the cries of an entire unkindness fill the house sound system, soon broken by "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits cutting through, the house lights coming up to a dull blue as a single white strobe light pulses in time to the song's percussion. Standing in the middle of that pulsing light, back to the ring, stands Matthew Knox adorned in his ring gear and a sleeveless hoodie.

Justin: From Baltimore, Maryland by way of Monterey, California! Matthew "The raven" KNOX!

Arms outstretched like a bird in flight he pivots on a heel and begins making his way to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and picking a corner to charge and leap upon to scream the audience into a frenzy. He takes a lap around the ring, before kneeling in a corner and patiently waiting for the ring to sound.

Adams: Now both men are being fitted with the stockings over their heads.

Simone: And neither are happy about it, but keep a close watch on Matthew Knox. Even before the cap has been secured on his head, he's been staring down where his opponent stands.

Adams: Well of course! It might give him a better shot at the opening bell to know where Chris Page is standing.

Jasmine is finally satisfied that both men are wearing their stocking caps, secured and neither can see. Jasmine turns and calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Matthew Knox suddenly races right in the direction he had last seen Chris page standing and he is lucky enough to where he collides with Page, knocking "the Chronic One" down against the ropes. The former SCW Champion displays his aggressive nature by pressing a knee against Page's back and neck, choking him with the ropes!

Adams: "The Raven" really played it smart, trying to memorize where Chris Page was standing!

Simone: And thus far it's served him well.

Jasmine issues a count against Knox's choking...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And Knox lets go and backs up a step, stumbling with a lack of vision. With arms out to steady and search, Knox moves in, attempting to relocate his veteran opponent/rival, but just as he creeps up to find him, Chris ducks behind and comes around with a waist lock from behind, turning it over into a German Suplex and dumping Knox right on the back of his head! Chris floats over, maintaining a blind hold on "the Raven" as he attempts a pinfall. Jasmine drops down for the count but "the Raven" kicks out before she can even get to one!

Simone: This match will be harder to compete in, let alone win, than just your average wrestling match.

Knox stumbles to his feet, still getting used to being blindfolded. Chris reaches around for the ropes, pulling himself up slowly. Knox feels around for Chris, but has no luck in finding him.

Adams: Not going to be so easy now that Matthew Knox has lost sight of his opponent. Get it? Lost sight? I said that because...

Simone: We get it! We get it!

Knox listens out as the fans rise in anticipation. Knox grabs out, but he somehow instead manages to back referee Jasmine St. John up against the ropes!

Simone: Careful Matthew!

Adams: Yeah! Jasmine is infinitely more dangerous than any man you're in the ring against!

He starts to struggle with her and then realizes something is amiss. He starts to feel first her face and then slowly lowers his hands in a pat down when just before he gets to - YOU KNOW - she shoves him away! Much to the laughter and amusement of the SCW Universe! Knox backs off, holding his hands up in surrender. But he backs right up against Page and both men spin around and they begin swinging, trading forearm blows to each others' blind head! Somehow Knox then ducks one of Page's blows and Matthew strikes widely with a European uppercut, but keeps hold of Page by the stocking cap so as not to lose him! Knox then delivers a discus elbow that strikes and connects, knocking the ring veteran page to the canvas! Knox then drops to his knees, feeling for his stunned opponent and finds him at hand. Matthew pins Page down with his knees pinning Chris's arms down. He begins blindly punching at Chris's face. He then rolls off and delivers a hard Muay Thai knee strike right into the head and Page hits his back and stops moving as Knox attempts a cover! Jasmine sees the pin attempt and makes the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Page gets his shoulder up!

Simone: These matches are always unpredictable. Not only can neither man see where they themselves are or where their opponent stands!

Adams: You also can't keep control once you get the upper hand! Something always happens!

Knox maintains a handhold on Page's hood and starts to stand up when Page suddenly sweeps Knox's legs out from under him! Page then turns him over into a Liontamer submission hold!

Simone: There is a hallmark of the veteran! Even though he was at the disadvantage, Chris Page used Knox's handhold on him to know where he was and took advantage of it!

Jasmine asks if Knox wants to give it up but we only see the masked head shake vigorously in the negative! The blind Matthew Knox reaches out blindly with both hands, searching for the ropes with no idea where they are or how close he is!

Adams: He's a lot closer than he thinks but he has no idea!

Matthew Knox then wraps an arm around Page's ankle and rolls over to his side, tripping Page to the mat and breaking the submission hold!

Simone: Matthew Knox is a veteran of the game himself and just proved it with that means of escape.

Both men feel their way to their feet and Chris Page "senses" his opponent, going for an Enzugari on Knox, only to fall several inches short of the intended goal!

Adams: And THAT just told Matthew Knox right where Chris Page was!

Indeed as Knox scrambles to get a hold and manages to grab Page's boot and "The Raven" stands with a trapped and struggling Chris Page locked in an ankle lock!

Simone: Now this would be a unique situation if Matthew Knox managed a submission in a match like this!

You can hear the howl of pain from within Page's hood as Jasmine is asking him if he wants to submit but Chris is not about to give his rival the satisfaction! Page then props himself up onto his hands on extended arms and he begins to kick back blindly with his free leg, landing some shots in on Knox's own legs until he finally takes one leg out from under him! Knox goes down to one knee and Page keeps hold and rolls to his back, turning him over and suddenly Chris Page has reversed their fortunes and now has Matthew Knox trapped in his own ankle lock on the mat!

Adams: And Page is using his weight to keep Knox right where he is!

But in an incredible stroke of holiday luck, Knox -- seeking a means to alleviate the pressure of the hold, rolls over to his side and his arm ends up falling into the ropes!

Simone: Oh what a stroke of luck!

Adams: Some tree topper is looking down on Matthew Knox today!

Jasmine explains to Page and orders the break but page is reluctant to release the hold just yet, prompting the referee to issue her count against him!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And Page lets go! Matthew grabs the ropes and uses them to drag himself to his feet as Page blindly reaches for him to go back on the attack! Chris finds him easily enough this time and grabs him around the waist from behind but this positioning also allows Matthew to strike fast himself, delivering a back elbow that staggers Page, knocking the veteran loose! But as Knox spun around to strike out against him, Page ducks and hooked his arms and lifted him up...!

Adams: Page Plant! And he hit it blindfolded!

Simone: By sheer luck he simply knew there the man was!

Chris rolls Knox over onto his back and hooks the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner! "Chronic" Chris PAGE!!!

Chris pulls his Santa Stocking off of his head and allows Jasmine to raise his arm in victory as the SCW Universe celebrates for the ring veteran's victory!




IRON WOMAN MATCH
Melissa v Jessie Salco




SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood is spotted walking through the annals of the backstage area of the arena, moving or shall we say - skulking about in a very curious and suspicious manner. He is taking his time, being very careful where he goes as he pauses and turns, looking for something or perhaps - someone - before he continues going about on his way. He sneaks past the media department quickly, using Janet the Makeup lady's rack of clothes and costumes as a cover as a photo shoot is going on. He drops down onto all fours when he reaches the rec center where staff and alike gather to watch the show's happenings on the flat screen monitor or perhaps play some SCW 2023 on the Playstation 5 set up. He crawls behind the couch to keep from being seen and then does a roll ala a Secret Service Agent and ducks around a corner...

Pussy Willow: Christian....

Christian almost jumps out of his shoes, spinning around and falling back against the wall with wide eyes!

Christian: JESUS CHRIST!!!

He clutches his chest and takes in a deep breath.

Christian: Thank god I'm not Mark's age or else there REALLY could have been issues!

Pussy Willow blinks and looks around in wonder as to what she did wrong.

Pussy Willow: I'm sorry... I didn't mean to startle you.

Christian: What are you even doing, sneaking up on people like that!?

Pussy Willow: But-me? I-I... But you sent me explicit instructions to come find you to discuss the Bombshell Roulette situation for Inception VI.

Christian frowns and looks back and forth, still hoping to avoid someone or something before he turns to Pussy Willow and shrugs.

Christian: I knew that.

Pussy Willow: Christian ... are you avoiding someone?

Christian: Yes! Ariana!

Pussy Willow: The champion? Why are you avoiding her?

Christian: Because she won't leave me alone about who her challenger is for Inception VI! She's sent me half a dozen text messages! I woke up to maybe ten cat emojis! And she's been camped outside of my office since everyone was first let into the building today!

Pussy Willow: Well, you have to admire her tenacity?

Pussy Willow chuckles at the light hearted nature of the situation - until Christian turns and stares at her and she quickly clears her throat.

Pussy Willow: Well you DO?

Christian: Yeah, and then she keeps passing by my office and dropping off all these homemade dishes like she's trying to bribe it out of me who she's defending against ...

Pussy Willow: Wouldn't it be easier to just tell her and get it over with?

Christian: And ruin my fun of making her sweat it out?

He scoffs.

Christian: I'll take my chances with her sardine stuffed potatoes, thank you very much. But, I did tell you to find me for a reason and so I can get it out there and maybe then she'll get off my back with her baked goods! ... Or the announcement will compound matters and she'll try even harder as a means of getting even.

Pussy Willow shakes her head.

Christian: What do you mean? Who is Ariana defending against at Inception VI?

Christian shrugs.

Christian: How should I know? It's not set in stone.

Pussy Willow: I beg your pardon?

Christian shakes his head.

Christian: No, let me explain. I know SOME of the names of her challengers...

Pussy Willow: Names ... as in plural?

Christian: Exactly. You see, Ariana has been a pretty dominant champion since she won that championship, even I would be hard pressed to deny that fact. Every single person we've set in front of her, she's turned away and done so quite handedly. So it left me wondering what could I do that would not only throw her for a loop but provide an actual challenge? So I was doing some thinking through all the years the Roulette Championship has been active and it got me to thinking of the very first Bombshell Roulette matches, the match where the title was first decided.

Pussy Willow: That wild Free For All?

Christian is now wearing a sick and twisted little smile on his face.

Christian: Yeah...

Pussy Willow: Oh-oh my.

Christian: But, not exactly the same. You see, it's going to be a New Year so I wanted the opportunity for new faces. New blood. New challenges. So tonight, I am officially announcing that Ariana Angelos will defend the Roulette Championship in the first-ever Open Invitational New Year Rumble! Seleana Zdunich! Zoey Lukas! Bella Madison! Those three ladies are guaranteed a spot in this match BUT...!

He holds up a hand for emphasis.

Christian: It's an open invitation. Meaning any other female star - whether she be on the SCW active roster or not - wants a shot at this, all they have to do is step up and sign on the dotted line for the event! The match starts off as a Ladder match - but here's the catch; once you grab the championship, you have to escape the arena with the belt! The woman who does so – is the champion!

Pussy Willow: Wow! What an announcement! SCW's First-ever Open Invitational New Year Rumble for the Bombshell Roulette Championship! I bet Ariana is going to be surprised!

Christian smiles, rubbing his hands together.

Christian: Yeah, she will. Won't she?

He throws his head back and laughs rather wickedly. He calms down after a moment and turns to walk off-set, calmly sighing.

Christian: Oh I am so getting coal in my stocking for this...




BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
OPEN INVITATIONAL NEW YEAR RUMBLE

Ariana Angelos © v Zoey Lukas v Bella Madison v Seleana Zdunich v OPEN INVITATION




For the last time, the camera cut back to Ms. Rocky Mountains, who stands next to Ariana Angelos, Krystal Wolfe, Masque and Avalon Blackthorne, but Ariana and Krystal looking slightly nervous.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: For the last time tonight, let's spin the wheel!

Rocky reaches for the wheel, giving it a hard spin and the five look for it to slow down.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ladies, you will be facing each other in a Santa's bag match!

Ariana and Krystal share a look as we cut back to ringside.




Justin: The following tag team match is a Santa's Bag Match. In order to win, you must climb a Christmas tree and retrieve Santa's Bag from above the ring.

Justin: Introducing first, the team of the SCW Bombshell World Champion Masue De Lune and Avalon Blackthorn!

The opening to "Let It Roar" by Battle Beast hits the speakers and once the opening lyrics hit Ari and Krystal come out to a loud cheer.

Justin: And their opponents, the team of the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Ariana Angelos and Krystal Wolfe, The Go Sisters!

DING DING DING!

Masque and Avalon scan their surroundings, taking in the veritable forest of Christmas trees all around the ring that almost threatens to engulf everybody like some demonic bastardization of the Holiday Spirit run amok. Krystal and Ariana do the same, each one seemingly trying to make their selection which one will work the best as the choice to scale up to the prize hanging high above them. Masque starts to move almost like she's performing the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker to music only she can hear. Krystal, Ariana and Avalon all watch the masked figure sashay around the ring until she executes a grand battement that catches Krystal in the face and sends her careening back into the corner. Krystal collides with the turnbuckles and Masque spins into a rather graceful discus clothesline. Krystal hits hard and then falls into a seated heap on the mat. Masque spins again and jumps into a scissor kick that ends with a knee strike to the face of the seated Krystal that bounces Krystal's head and sends her slumping across the bottom rope. Ariana comes flying into the corner and hits Masque in the back with a kick of her own. Masque falls against the turnbuckles and tries to spin again into a strike on Ariana but Ariana catches her arm and delivers a back elbow to her face that knocks Masque hard against the corner.

Adams: What is Masque doing?

Simone: We're been watching Masque De Lune for the better part of a year now and you're just now asking what she's doing?

Adams: I mean, even by her standards...

Simone: It's no stranger than what her own partner is currently doing.

Avalon continues to just watch on as Ariana starts to let fly with punches. Krystal slowly looks up and sees her partner pounding Masque and she grabs at Masque's leg to keep her pinned in place for the onslaught being fired off by Ariana. Krystal moves to make sure she has a grip on both legs and cheers her partner on as Ariana hammers away looking for that sweet manna that says she's done the damage, blood. With none forthcoming, she continues to just open fire as best she can while Masque tries to cover up with her arms and Krystal makes sure via her grip on the masked woman's legs, that Masque cannot escape as easily or as simply as she would like to. Avalon steps back as she watches on and glances out to the floor at the trees that are almost blocking the view of the crowd there. She looks back to see Ariana rear back and throw what should be a mighty lariat. Masque catches it and tumbles back both from the force of the impact and Krystal's grip on her legs. Masque tumbles backwards through the ropes and takes Ariana with her. The two tumble to the floor leaving Krystal sitting there, looking down at her partner and Masque almost in shock. Avalon nods and then steps through the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and drops to the floor, moving quickly to the trees. She starts to run her hands over them as if looking for some secret treasure that no one else knows is there.

Adams: What is Avalon doing?

Simone: What do you mean, what is she doing?

Adams: She was just standing there watching as her partner had a fury unleashed on her that no one thought Ariana Angelos had inside of her and now she's all but abandoned the Bombshell World Champion to the Go Sisters!

Simone: Looks to me like she used Masque as a distraction while she goes outside to find the right tool for the job. She's doing what you're supposed to do in any match, she's trying to win and right now, she looks like she's the only one who remembers how to win this match!

Krystal looks up to see where Avalon is and spots her on the floor scoping out the tree over there. She frowns before momentarily looking back to see about Masque and Ariana on her side. Krystal looks back at Avalon and then pulls herself to her feet and charges across the ring. Avalon selects the one she wants and picks it up, looking to walk it back to the ring when Krystal comes running over and launches herself over the top rope into a dive out onto Avalon. Avalon drops the tree she was carrying just in time for Krystal to crash down into her and knock them both into the trees behind her.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

With the crowd losing its mind over things she never saw, Ariana staggers up, using the edge of the ring to help her regain her original upright posture. Masque slowly staggers up as well, turns into a big lariat from Ariana. Masque falls back against the trees on that side of the ring that are up against the barricade. Ariana drags Masque up and rears back to clock her again. Masque blocks with her prosthetic and headbutts Ariana. Ariana falls to one knee, clearly wobbly from the impact to the head. Masque delivers a wicked elbow and then turns to look at the trees as Ariana falls back to the floor.

Adams: Ariana seems focused on showing that she can go with the World Champion.

Simone: The Go Sisters need to stop focusing on trying to deal out damage and focus on winning this match. If you want to show you can hang with the World champion, then beat her here when you have the chance practically screaming you in the face. If they don't, Masque will likely just laugh...

Adams: Masque laughs?

Simone: We might not see it openly, but you know she has to at some of the reactions she gets. When she knows she's in so many heads rent free, it has be hysterical to her and she's laughing all the way to the top and to the bank!

Avalon and Krystal stumble up from the rubble of what was a stack of trees that have all fallen over now and look at the ring. Avalon grabs a fallen tree and throws it so that it hits Krystal and knocks the Thunder From Down Under on her ass. Avalon takes the tree she had previously chosen and slides it into the ring under the bottom rope. As she goes to follow it, Krystal jumps up to grab her and hold her there. Avalon blasts Krystal with a punch and the two start trading shots there on the floor. Across the way, Masque has some kind of cord and is pulling one tree by the top over by another one, seemingly using the second tree to hold down the first. Ariana pulls herself up onto the apron and turns. Seeing Masque seemingly hard at work and not paying attention, Ariana gets a two step start and jumps off at Masque. Masque nods and pulls on something. It acts like a ripcord and releases the trees. The second pops away from the first one. The first snaps up and nails Ariana in midjump, launching her like a catapult and sending her flying off into the crowd.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

Adams: My God, Masque just made those trees into a trebuchet and sent the Bombshell Roulette Champion flying!

Simone: She was more focused on getting to the win than anyone could see and now that lack of focus on Ariana's part has come back to bite her badly.

Adams: How did she come up with that?

Simone: She's Masque De Lune, how does she come up with anything she does?

Masque grabs a tree and takes it to the ring, shoving it under the bottom rope. Masque climbs in after it, stands up and then pulls the tree to the center of the ring, looking up to make sure she's positioning it properly. Satisfied, she stands the tree up and sets it just as she wants it. She starts climbing up the right side, making slow but steady progress. Krystal breaks away from Avalon and kicks her knees. Krystal runs into the ring and jumps onto the left side of the tree, climbing up faster than Masque can go. Masque punches at Krystal with her prosthetic hand, sending sliding down Krystal to the mat. Krystal lands on her feet and then shoves the tree over. Masque crashes to the mat, landing near the far ropes. Krystal takes the tree and turns it so she can dropkick it and deliver a Van Daminator to Masque with the tree. Masque tumbles over the edge and lands heavily on the floor in a heap. Krystal goes to pick up the tree and turns it to take it back to the center of the ring. Avalon comes up seemingly out of nowhere and delivers a dropkick to the tree and that sends Krystal down to the mat and out to the floor with Masque. Avalon pulls in her tree and sets it up in the dead center of the ring. She nods and climbs it to the top, setting herself as the angel. She reaches up and grabs the bag taking the win.

DING DING DING!

Adams: The crowd is still bu

ing at what they just witnessed... but what did we just witness?

Simone: Focus triumphing over all.

Adams: How can you say that?

Simone: Avalon only thought about winning and she's who took it. Everyone else was worried about something else but she picked her tree, picked her spot and climbed up to victory. That's what we just witnessed.

Justin: Here are your winners, Masque De Lune & Avalon Blackthorn!

Simone: Masque and Ava have won on the last show of the year!

Adams: And what a match that one was!

Simone: It's a great way to end the year and sadly, that is what it has done! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey in 2022, creating magic. Thank you to the fans who tune in every week and come and see us live. 2022 and been a wonderful year and we thank you all for being a part of it. We'll see you for Inception VI on January 15th 2023! Have a very happy and safe holiday season and a wonderful new year from everyone here at SCW. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!

The camera fades to a victorous Masque and Ava.




THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for this show! Have a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year!
