The camera immediately opens up with a scanning overhead shot of the Craig Maclean Leisure Centre which is filled to standing room only capacity for the first-ever LIVE professional wrestling event here in the town of Grantown-on-Spey in the Scottish Highlands. The SCW Universe stands, young and old, men, women and children alike, waving their arms and holding up signs, cheering heartily!

Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!

Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to Grantown-on-Spey in the 2023 Unsolved Mysteries tour!

The crowd continues to cheer their support!

Justin: Now please welcome to the stage to kick this evening off! None other than our very own 'Hostess With the Mostess,' Amanda Hugginkiss!

And the crowd here in Scotland stands as one to welcome Amanda out onto the stage! The Climax Control Hostess is all smiles as she waves to the SCW Universe, dressed like the stereotypical "Karen," complete with swept wig and designer louse, slacks and high heels. As the music starts, Amanda prances around the stage with her nose in the air and the performance begins!

Amanda: I don't wanna be the one to tell you so
But there's a little somethin' that you oughta know
We need to have a sister talk about your new man
'Cause, honey, I don't think you understand
I hate to rain on your parade, but just last night, I caught him in your shoes
(The open-toe, gold-sequin stilettos, mmm)

He's pumped up, tan, super clean, and never smelly
He listens to a lot of Liza Minnelli
Spends a little too much time in bathroom stalls (What is he doing?)
Is it me or does his breath smell like balls?

I hate to pop your bubble, but he watches Golden Girls every day (He knows every word)

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
And I'm not talkin' just a little fay
You need to tell him to sashay away
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

You're looking at me like, "What is she talking about?"
Let me lay it out so there can be no doubt
Broadway dancer, caftans, and can snap a fan
He ignored you when you had that threeway with another man (Remember?)

I hate to spill the beans, but dudes don't call each other Mary or girlfriend (Girlfriend)

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
I'll tell you why I think he swings that way
He drinks skinny vanilla soy lattes
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

It's your party, you can lie if you want to
You say he's the one, but I hear do run run
I know it's hard to find a man who'd ever be fabber
But he's a card carryin' brown pucker poo stabber
You're going to the chapel, thought someday you'd get married
First date was like a dream and then it only got scary'ed
But let's stay on track, he's the leader of the fudge pack
You might also like

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
You're the last one to know, okay?
He's like literally a walking cliche
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay (He's so gay)
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay (He's so gay)
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay (Gay, gay, gay)
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

The performance comes to a close and Amanda blows a kiss to the crowd before the spotlight winks out, the crowd's cheers and applause resonating inside of the building.

The camera then switches to the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit at the broadcaster's table.

Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to Grantown-on-Spey in the Scottish Highlands for the next stop in the 2023 Unsolved Mysteries tour! I am Belinda Simone...

Adams: I always wondered if vampires who live nowhere near the Middle East ever wondered why lowercase T's were hurting them... I mean, I'm Jason Adams!

Simone: We are only three weeks away from Into the Void XII in London, England! Tonight we begin the rundown on what to expect at the grand finale of our first tour of 2023!

Adams: And tonight we find out who is going to be the Fab Four in the 2023 Blast From the Past!

Simone: The night begins in a unique way as "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart squares off against Alexander Raven in a Dog Collar match!

Adams: Miles Kasey is back in the ring and this week he goes one on one with Peter Vaughn of the Saviors!

Simone: In the first of the Quarter-Final Blast From the Past matches this evening, Dawn Warren and Calvin Harris go up against Roulette Champion Goth and Kim Pain!

Adams: The Bombshell Roulette Championship is on the lien when the new champion Luna Vanity defends against Jessie Salco!

Simone: In the final match of the 2023 Quarter-Finals, J2H and his partner Devona goes up against Devona's fellow GO Gym grad Ariana Angelos and Jet City's Oliver Zahn!

Adams: And our Main Event is for the Bombshell Internet Championship! The champ Melissa defends against former champion "Dreamkiller" Kayla Richards!

Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!




Backstage, SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood is standing in front of a backdrop for the upcoming Supercard Pay-Per-View, Into the Void XII. At his side, he is alongside the comely reporter for Sin City Wrestling, Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Fans, I am joined here today by Christian Underwood who I believe has an announcement to make that will affect not only the Blast From the Past tournament, but also the Roulette Championship. Christian...?

She holds the microphone up to him.

Christian: Yeah, let's see if we can do this quick and make it as painless as possible. The current Roulette Champion Goth is not here tonight. He flew home earlier in the week due to an injury suffered. Mark and I tried to hold out for as long as we could, but Goth phoned us to give us the news that he was going to be out of action for awhile. Well past the thirty day clause for championship defenses.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: So does that mean...?

Christian holds up the Roulette Championship title belt.

Christian: It means, with Goth's own blessing, that the Roulette Championship has been declared vacant. And in three weeks at Into the Void XII, we will be holding a Fatal Fourway match to determine a brand new champion.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: And what does this mean for his scheduled match this evening in the Blast From the Past?

Christian: That will be addressed later. For now, what matters most is Goth's well being and him recovering and coming home to us as soon as he is able.

Christian looks directly into the camera.

Christian: Goth? Gerrit? We got your back, man! Heal up and get well soon! The door is always open!




The Anti-Nightcore Mix of "A Demon's Fate" by Within Temptation hits the speakers as lights flash across the arena in time with the slowed down beat, as the lyrics kick in Krystal steps out with a confident grin on her face and her arms folded.

Simone: Krystal has been a controversy magnet since she turned her back on her friends, even getting booted out of the Saviours.

Adams: She may no longer be a Saviour but her attitude is still rotten to the core!

The crowd boos Krystal's announcement and she smirks before making her way down to the ring with a purpose, once she reaches the ring she gets a running start before jumping onto the apron in a seated position whilst facing the crowd , one arm on the middle rope and the other on her right leg, she jumps into the ring over the top rope after soaking in the boos for a few seconds and takes a mic from a stagehand.

Krystal: Saying that I've had an eventful few weeks is putting it mildly.

Krystal says as she paces around the ring.

Krystal: First I was in the Saviours, then I wasn't, then Tempest went back to her role as the Go Gym's attack dog because apparently Ariana can't fight her own battles! Doesn't matter in the end because by the end of the year? I'll be recognized as the best women's wrestler to come from the Go Gym in years!

Simone: That's a bold claim to make!

Adams: Especially when you look at the talent that the Go Gym has produced.

Krystal: I mean really, when was the last time the Go Gym produced anyone worth a damn? Adrienne flat out quit because she couldn't cut it! Oh I'm sorry, I mean to say mental health issues, my bad! Levana proved to be the biggest choke artist to come from the Go Gym since, well, since Chelsea Skye and that bitch gets paid for it! Oh, and London Underground's back.

Krystal says as she gets a look of mock excitement on her face.

Krystal: Oh my god! The team that dominated the tag team ranks when there was no competition left are back?! Only there's no titles for them to go after! Whatever will they do? I mean, Charlotte and Mackenzie have done fuck all since they returned and Daniel's been passed around more opponents than Chelea's been passed around on a porn set! Oh, wait, one of the girls beat Seleana!

Krystal says before rolling her eyes.

Krystal: Please, a win over Seleana is like an opinion, everyone has one! And as for which one beat Seleana, I mean those two idiots are basically interchangeable! I could go on and on about how far the Go Gym's standards have fallen but that's not why I'm out here!

Krystal says as smoke starts to creep up the ring.

Simone: Err, where did that smoke come from?!

Adams: Good question! I hope there's not a fire.

Krystal: As for why I'm out here? It's to reiterate what I said at the start of the cycle, it doesn't matter if your a Saviour, a Go Gym Graduate or someone new like Alexandra Callway, I'm putting every other Bombshell on the roster on notice because it's time I took my rightful place at the top of this mountain and i don't care who I have to go through to get there! I've been overlooked ever since my Roulette Title reign ended but NO MORE! Okay seriously, is that Big Grey Man showing up for Climax Control tonight?!

Krystal wonders as the smoke starts to pour into the ring.

Voice: I wouldn't say Big Grey Man...

Behind Krystal and through the smoke, a single hand appears from behind her, reaching around to the microphone in her hand. Krystal's eyes widen as she looks down, but the hand takes the microphone from her and pulls it into the smoke.

Adams: Ok, someone call Scooby Doo because we got a R-R-R-R-RONSTER!

Voice: Why is it every single time I feel the calm, it's always the calm before the storm and I have to find the children that stray?

Krystal turns to look towards the smoke and with a flash of light, the smoke clears away to reveal...

Simone: Oh my God! It's Gabriel Stevens!

Adams: The man who trained Krystal is standing opposite her!

Gabriel stands, dressed in his long black, leather coat, as the fans cheer wildly as Krystal looks stunned as she stares into the eyes of her trainer and one time mentor..

Gabriel: I've come a long way for this conversation Krystal, a hell of a long way just to have a talk with you, because well, you're awful at replying to messages and I can see the look on your face says you certainly wasn't expecting me, so let me explain.

Gabriel looks directly into Krystal's eyes.

Gabriel: I've seen this a million times Krystal. I've seen people sit there and piss on the place I've built, the place I've created dreams and taken people like you and gave them the taste of the good life. I have built a wrestling paradise for people like you to live freely in. I know you're not the first to rebel against it for some cheap heat, I know you're not the first to try and get noticed by pissing on the door, but this has to stop now.

Krystal reaches for the microphone but Gabriel shakes his head.

Gabriel: Does it look like I'm done talking to you? No, so stand there and keep that fucking mouth shut! I took a little whiny brat like you and I turned you into a champion. I showed you how to be special and you wanna come out here, talk more shit then a Tory MP and think it's going to help your career? Oh no Krystal, it's going to bury your career, it's going to ruin you, so turn back now, walk away from this little angst trip and....

Krystal shakes her head and angrily pulls the microphone from Gabriel's hand.

Adams: Oh wow!

Krystal: It's funny how you bring up the Tory Party Gabriel, because you definitely talk a lot of shit!

Krystal snaps as she glares at her mentor before marching right up to him,

Krystal: Sure, you trained me at the Go Gym, you got my foot in the door and allowed me to join SCW when the world went to shit because of the pandemic! For fuck's sake, you sponsored my visa so i could move to the US and train at your gym!

Krystal says as she brushes some hair over her shoulder.

Krystal: But everything after that point? THAT WAS ALL ME! The Roulette Title Reign? I poured my blood, sweat and tears into every fucking second of of those 273 days that I spent as champion, the past twelve months where I wrestled some of the best wrestlers to ever grace an SCW ring? It was my talent and determination that brought me to that level and I'll continue to rise up the ranks of this division whilst dragging it kicking and screaming into the future!

Krystal lets out several deep breaths as she glares at Gabriel.

Krystal: But the moment Ariana realized just how little she was valued in SCU? You tossed me aside, suddenly deciding that you were done with this toy and wanted to play with your little Greek Princess dolls! I checked myself out of hospital for a fucking title match and not even THAT was enough for you to realize just how fucking desperate I was getting! I didn't put my body on the line just so some Greek idiot with daddy issues could steal MY SPOTLIGHT!

Krystal lets out a massive deep breath as she holds her hand up.

Krystal: You fucking dare call this an angst trip?! Give me a break Gabriel, this was the result of under a year of frustration and anger boiling up to the service! I'm out to prove that I don't need the Go Gym to be a success, I'm out to prove that I'm my own woman!

Krystal lifts up her hand and pushes Gabriel directly in the face!

Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Simone: What the hell did she just do?

Adams: This could get ugly.

Gabriel looks down at the fallen microphone and clicks his fingers and the microphone somehow flies from the canvas into his hand.

Adams: How the hell....

Gabriel: I don't work here Krystal, if I wanna knock you the fuck out, I will and I won't get fined for it...

The crowd burst into cheers but Krystal quickly steps into Gabriel's face, yelling and screaming. Gabriel turns his head and smiles and lifts up a hand as Krystal urges him to hit her, but before he can, a slew of referees and security guards run down the aisle at top speed, sliding in the ring and getting in between the two, much to the displeasure of the fans.

Simone: I can't believe Krystal would pie face the man who trained her. Talk about disrespect!

Adams: It sounds to me like Krystal has declared war on The GO Gym! I don't know what's gotten into her lately, but she's really becoming unhinged.

Krystal shouts across the ring towards Gabriel, her trainer just smiling at her as the cameras go elsewhere.




The giant Tron screen fires up and the fans turn their attention to the giant screen. They see Bill Barnhart, along with his wife and Manager Bea Barnhart, walk into camera view. The two stand facing the camera and the fans quiet down to listen to what they have to say.

Bill: Greetings to all of you in Scotland! As you have noticed I am opening this edition of Climax Control in a Hardcore Rules Dog Collar Match against Alexander Raven. For those of you who may not know me and Raven have had three matches against each other and each time we give all we've got and we have given the fans three amazing and fantastic matches. Tonight is no exception as myself and Alexander plan on showing you what Hardcore Rules wrestling is about and opening this event with our match sets a high standard for the other matches to try to obtain.

Bea: I'm sure you have heard all the rumors about me and how I function as the Manager for Bill in addition to wrestling in the Bombshell Division. No matter what you have heard in the rumors about me I assure you I don't interfere in Bill's matches and I don't attack people on the other side of the ring unless they start stuff first.

Bill: I want you, the fans, to sit back and enjoy my match with Alexander Raven. First I want you to enjoy me beating down Raven in this Dog Collar Match. Secondly I want you to know that I have the utmost respect for Alexander Raven and I know he feels the same way about me. We will start our match shortly and when the bell rings and our match starts be ready for sparks to fly, fireworks to go off, and bruises on my opponent to be administered.

Bill and Bea wave into the camera and then the giant Tron screen goes dark leaving the fans murmuring and anxiously awaiting the match between Bill Barnhart and Alexander Raven to start.




LIVE! May 07, 2023! ... From London, England's Copper Box Arena...!

It's...




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

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

Justin:The following contest is scheduled a dog collar match, introducing first...from Lawrenceville Georgia.

Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed his English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters the ring and then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner. Jacob joins him and puts the dog collar around the thick neck of Bill Barnhart.

Adams: Bill looks ready tonight.

Simone: This match is right up his alley you would think.

As all the lights dim, blue and red lights begin to flicker on the stage, images of ravens flying appearing on the screen. 'Ladies and Gentleman' as these words fill the arena a loud bang of pyro is joined with blinding white lights. These flicker rapidly for a few moments, 'because the devil has my throat,' as these words of the song flow out, out steps Alexander Raven into the centre of the stage. He gazes across the crowd, pulling his cloak tightly around his shoulders, his eyes opened wide a slight smile tugging at his lips. The flashing off the lights stops. 'I am the powers that be!' in sync with these lines he throws his hands up, basking in the reaction of the crowd, beginning to slowly walk down the ramp. He strolls towards the ring leisurely, crossing his arms across his chest, head tilted back, soaking in the world around him. Slowly he begins to ascend the stairs to the left of the ramp, once in the ring, spinning his way to the centre of the ring, dropping to his knees. He hunches over and places his fists on the canvas. 'I am the alpha! and the omega!' as soon as these words come out, he lifts himself backwards slightly, the cloak slipping from his shoulders as he extends his arms to the sky, staring upwards, soaking everything in once again. Slowly he raises to his feet, pushing his cloak from the ring slowly with his foot.

Justin: And his opponent...From Melbourne Australia...he is Alexander Raven.

Adams: Wow, Alexander Raven's entrance always gets to me Belinda. Kinda spooky isn't it...fits right in with our location tonight.

Simone: There is Jacob to put the dog collar on Raven and then we will get this match underway.

With both men locked into the collars, Jacob moves to signal for the bell.

Adams: Well there is Jacob Summers signalling for the bell and Justin is leaving the ring. We are ready to start.

DING DING DING!

Jacob tests the length of chain between both men as Bill sneers at Raven and then barks in a threatening way. Raven ignores him as he pulls a handful of chain upwards and around his fist. Looking up, Alexander is surprised by Barnhart who lunges at him with a length of chain that he uses to take Raven off his feet. Dropping down, Bill pushes the chain into the throat of Alexander Raven as he yells at Summers to begin his count. Jacob drops, hits the canvas once and then is surprised by Raven who pushes his shoulder off the mat as he delivers a hard right hand from his steel covered fist. Barnhart is knocked to the side as Alexander rolls to his hands and knees fighting for breath. Bill gets to his feet as Alexander crawls towards the corner. Getting on the back of Raven, Bill wraps the chain around the neck of Raven. Once again fighting for his breath, Alexander bucks slightly and lunges towards the corner that slams the head of Bill into the middle turnbuckle. Barnhart falls to the side allowing Alexander to rollout of the ring. Twisting, Raven loops the chain on the leg of Bill and yanks him out of the ring.

Adams: That chain is quite the weapon Belinda. I am so glad I am on commentary and not in that ring.

On the outside, Alexander Raven wraps his hand with the chain then mounts Bill before raining down hard shots from the steel-covered hand as Bill fights desperately to cover his head but is unable to prevent a cut opening up on the top of his head. Blood slowly starts to seep out of the cut as Raven is warned off by Summers. Getting to his feet, Raven rolls into the ring to stop the ten count as Bill rolls to the side and swipes at the blood. Raven rolls back out of the ring and stands on the apron and doubles up the chain to start whipping the back of Barnhart forcing him to arch in pain as the steel rips into his back raising red welts. The crowd count with each swing of the chain before Raven stops and holds up his small loop of chain. Bill leans against the ringsteps and tries to breath through the pain as Alexander gets on the floor and stalks towards Bill swinging the chain. He spins it and attempts to hit Bill but Barnhart manages to move and the loud clang of the chain hitting the steel steps is drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.

Simone: That could have really opened up the head of Bill Barnhart if it had connected Jason.

Alexander drops the chain as the vibration of the hit sends shocks through his hands. Bill uses the time to ball the chain around his fist and arm to clothesline Raven to the floor. Pulling him up, Bill tosses him into the inside of the ring then crawls into the ring as well. Wiping the blood from his face once more, Bill watches as Raven slowly gets to his hands and knees a few feet away from the ropes. Bill sneers then rushes towards Raven who throws himself out of the way but Bill avoids him and leaps over the top rope to the floor which yanks and hangs Alexander Raven by the collar. Bill reaches in and then hogties the feet of Raven so that his body is tied up by the ropes. Rolling back under the bottom rope, Barnhart is looking to do more damage but can't because of too little give on the chain preventing him from attacking. Jacob forces Bill out of the ring under the bottom rope and the two untie Raven who without looking mule kicks Barnhart and sends him stumbling to the barricade which once more hangs Alexander on the top rope. Bill stumbles back as Alexander drags himself towards the corner using the chain to drag Bill with him. Bill is fighting the pull but Alexander is able to climb the turnbuckles and launch himself at Bill.

Adams: Alex Raven is not known for high flying Belinda.

Simone: Tell that to Alexander Raven Jason.

Both men are tangled on the floor outside the ring as Jacob moves to the ropes and begins his ten count. At five, both men start to stir and moves to the apron to pull themselves to their feet. At eight both men roll into the ring but on either side of the ringpost and lock up in an elbow collar but can't gain any traction as the chain is wrapped around the ringpost. Alexander manages to fight Bill into the corner where he then ties him up by climbing to the outside and around the ring post again. Standing on the outside where he is free to slam hard rights into the chest and head of Bill who is unable to escape the chain. Jacob warns Raven who slides into the ring, bent slightly because the chain is tight around the ringpost. Dropping his shoulder, Raven slams it into the midsection of Bill driving the breath from his body and watches as he sags in the corner. Alexander climbs back out of the ring and untangles the both of them while Bill drops to the canvas breathing heavily to get back into the match. Alexander rolls into the ring and then with a quick crawl rolls up Bill for the pin.

Simone: Raven for the pin.

Bill is down as Summers begins his count and Alexander rolls him over. At two, Barnhart shoots his arm up to stop the count. Alexander can't believe it and turns again to roll Bill up for another pin attempt. Jacob slaps the canvas twice but Barnhart again shoots his shoulder off the mat. Raven rolls away and slams his hands angrily on the canvas in disbelief. Getting to his feet, raven pulls up Barnhart and whips him into the corner. Stepping up and climbing on the middle turnbuckle, Raven wraps the chain around his fist and slams it down on the head of Bill who is staggered but tries to fight it off. Raven moves back and watches as a punch drunk Bill Barnhart staggers out of the corner. He swings wildly at Raven who just taunts him closer. Kicking Bill in the midsection, Alexander locks him into position for his finisher but Bill is able to make it difficult for Raven who shakes his head then looks down at the chain on the mat. Dropping Bill, Raven picks up the chain and then once more locks Bill into position for Raven's spine and holds him there with the chain. Taking a running start, Raven drops Bill with his Raven's spine vertabreaker that knocks Bill out. Raven unties the chain and then drops to pull Bill into a pin that he is unable to escape as Raven uses the chain to hogtie him.

ONE!

Adams: Bill Barnhart is not moving and I don't think he is going to.

TWO!

Simone: I have to agree Jason, that Raven's spine really laid him out.

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Alexander RAVEN!

Alexander Raven rolls away and then reaches up to pull at the dog collar, opening the buckle and tossing it contemptuously on the prone body of Bill Barnhart before climbing the turnbuckles to pose as his arms are spread wide.

Adams: Alexander Raven asking for us to worship him after beating Bill Barnhart tonight.

Jacob checks on Bill who is slowly starting to move. Helping him to the bottom rope, Jacob helps Bill out of the ring and up to the entrance to the back as Alpha and Omega plays over the venue.




WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
MICHAEL HARRIS (c) vs AUSTIN JAMES MERCER vs MILES "MILO" KASEY




The camera cut to the backstage area of the Craig Maclean Leisure Center near the locker room facilities. Just outside of the main hall rests a small refreshment area where the stars of SCW can grab a beverage while keeping up-to-date on what's happening throughout the evening. None other than SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood is standing at the table set against the wall, pouring himself a cup of coffee. Adding two sugars and a LOT of cream, Christian gives his drink a stir and takes a cautious sip so as not to burn himself, when he turns around and finds himself face-to-face with the reigning World Heavyweight Champion of Sin City Wrestling, Michael Harris and an unknown man in a business suit. Christian rolls his eyes and gives the champion his best but most obviously phony smile.

Christian: Well, well, well! If it isn't Dorian Gray! Lost your painting somewhere did we?

Michael Harris: Cut the crap. I'm not in the mood.

That was the immediate response from the SCW Heavyweight Champion. He glared daggers right at the co-owner. Clearly, not in the best of moods. But at this point what else is new? Harris looked to the gentleman to the right of him.

Michael Harris: Handle it.

That being said, the man in the suit stepped up before Harris. Almost in a way like he was protecting him. Now while he did in fact look like he could 'handle' himself in any situation needed. By no means was he dressed for a fight.

Noah Vanderbilt: First and foremost good sir. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Noah Vanderbilt. I represent a law firm out in New York and I've also been a representative in Mr. Harris' legal affairs for quite some time. Been fond of having him as a client if I do say so myself.

The slight smug smirk on Harris' face said it all. It appeared that he was truly up to something.

Noah Vanderbilt: That being said. We find ourselves in a little bit of a pickle. You see Mr. Harris gave me a call following last week's Climax Control and informed me of a specific situation that took place. Someone by the name of Tempest.

Michael Harris: Call it what it is. Big amazon ass bitch!

Noah Vanderbilt: Mr. Harris, please.

He looked over his shoulder at the champion for a moment. Harris just kind of glared, but didn't continue any further.

Noah Vanderbilt: You'll have to excuse my client. He's quite emotionally distraught after last week's altercation. That brings me back to the point at hand. I was looking over the legal stuff of my client's contract and it specifically states in there. No physical altercations can take place between male or female. It could result in a very serious, fine, suspension, or even firing. With that being said. This young woman was quite physical with my client. And therefore, he'd like to press charges. I don't think it needs to come to that. You seem like a civil man. You have a company to run. You set the rules for a reason. Therefore let's talk about handling this out of court. Say by just cutting this young lady from her contract?

While looking at Christian. Noah had quite the smirk on his own lips. Assuming that he had an ace in his pocket here. Christian stares right at the aforementioned Mister Vanderbilt, then shifts a sidelong glance toward the champ, before looking to the attorney at hand and the boss man ... snorted back a laugh and quickly covered his nose and squinted his eyes tightly shut.

Christian: Ow... that smarts!

After a moment, Christian composed himself and then opened his eyes and shook his head.

Christian: Whew! That was one really painful stifled laugh!

After drawing a breath and letting it out...

Christian: There, I feel better! And nah.

He shakes his head.

Christian: We won't be doing that. I thought for a second that you were pulling my leg there but your client isn't exactly known for his jovial nature so I can only assume that he's either serious, or he forgot to fill you in on all the details.

Christian then looks to Michael.

Christian: Such as the fact that over five thousand people in attendance and many more thousands watching on the world-wide-web saw your client put his hands on her first. I believe in a court of law, that would be called defending herself. Especially when we're discussing how society views men putting their hands on women and your client shoved her. True, she swatted his hand out of her face but anyone could see he got in her face and stuck his hand in her face more than once, clearly the aggressor. Of course this is nothing new. Go back before this and watch how he totally decimated one of our reporters, or how he openly attacked a fan.

He then looks to Noah again and smiles.

Christian: By your own logic and reasoning, I could release your client from his contract for his hostile behavior and causing a hostile work environment. Oh...!

Christian tapped a forefinger to his lips, then held it up for emphasis.

Christian: We could also bring up the fact how your client also... tried to attack me.

Christian raises his eyebrows. Harris was glaring Christian down. Needless to say he wasn't too pleased with what had followed. If anything here he was trying to get his way... again. And it wasn't going to work. Not when he had the type of rap sheet that he did. Just was not looking good by any means. Noah only shaking his head a little bit.

Noah Vanderbilt: Boy, I was not aware that I would be coming to talk to a child today. I thought I'd be dealing with a very classy business man, but I stand corrected.

Another little shake of his head followed.

Noah Vanderbilt: I did not fly all the way here today. To play this little game of he did this, so she did this. He did this, so I did this. That's something three year olds do Mr. Underwood. I am not as foolish as some might think. I am not sitting here saying that my client hasn't done some ... questionable things in his time here. Or in his time with professional wrestling as a whole.

Michael Harris: Who's side are you...

Noah Vanderbilt: Mr. Harris, hush please!

In that moment Noah slammed his hand down on table in front of him. The look on Harris's face said it all at that point. He wasn't one to be talked to any type of way by anyone. Especially not someone on his supposed "team" but at the same time Noah was trying to do him a solid and help him out in the situation at hand. The least he could do was be quiet.

Noah Vanderbilt: And if we're talking legal aspects here Mr. Underwood. Yes, Tempest might have quote unquote participated in self defense as you called it. Yet, in the United States of America. Both of them would be held accountable for their actions. As that is called Domestic Violence all across the board. In all technicality they'd both be booked and charged. You've been lawyered, my friend.

There was quite the arrogant smirk spread across Noah's lips in that particular moment. He seemed to be very high on himself.

Noah Vanderbilt: Following up with that. Let's not be so foolish to think that in the year 2023. Women can't physically beat up men. You trying to paint a narrative as such is just wrong. In fact it's kind of even sexist if you ask me. I'm sure if you were to say something so publicly amongst your female roster. There might be a few of them that take offense to such a comment. But that's another issue for another day. I will not have you defend Tempest just because she's a woman. At the end of the day. She came down to the ring with every intention of getting physical with my client and therefore she is in the wrong!

Again, that smug smirk didn't fade on the lawyer's face. He was heading in what he would have considered the right direction. Seemingly having everything in his favor.

Noah Vanderbilt: So, I will not ask. But instead I will DEMAND that something is done about this. Or, we can settle this in court and... you'll be losing your champion until the legal matter is situated. Can you handle not having your Heavyweight Champion for months and months?! I think, not. He's a proven draw to SCW!

Harris was now smirking once again. Seemingly bought into his lawyer's words once again. Everything sounding so good.

Michael Harris: You wanted to play hard-ball Christian. I ain't the one to fuck with on this. So congratulations, you played yourself!

Christian just smiles as he takes another sip of his coffee. He savers it for a moment before lowering the cup and looking at miles, extending one finger toward him from the hand that is holding the cup.

Christian: You just keep thinking that Buttercup, because Mark and myself both have our own private attorneys and we have one specifically hired for SCW as a whole. Corporate attorney, you know. Not like one of those ones that you might find...

He casts a glance toward Noah before continuing.

Christian: .. With his office in a shopping mall. Bottom line, if you want to press the issue, well then by all means. Call my bluff! You don't think I can get by without you? Check your contract, Mr Harris. Maybe you neglected to read it at length, but there is a code of conduct clause. You can thank your nephew for that little addition.

He then turns his attention to Noah.

Christian: Everything did I spoke of before? Pretty much gives me the legal right to simply sever his contract and strip him of his championship. But no, you go right ahead and press the issue. Because stripping him of his championship and relieving him of his contract would not be the worst thing to happen to him as a result.

Christian takes a step forward with a smile on his face, one that would be reminded of Noah's very own.

Christian: Because word gets out. Especially in this business. Secrets simply can't be kept and you know what wrestling rags are like. Those online gossip columns? Just try to imagine what would be said across the world about Mr Harris here if it got around that he was filing a lawsuit against us, because he got roughed up by one of the women on our roster.

Christian shows his pearly whites as he takes another drink.

Christian: I imagine that would be mighty embarrassing. Now if you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a show to run.

That being said, Christian calmly goes about his way, walking past both men to continue the evening.

Michael Harris: Listen here you son a...

Before he could say anything more. Noah had simply put a hand to his chest to stop him and shook his head. It was a clear sign to just stop while he was a head. Harris looked at Noah then back at Christian as angry as ever.

Noah Vanderbilt: Mr. Underwood. You enjoy your evening.

Nodding in his direction. Noah found himself turning all the way around and expecting Harris to do the same. As people have come to learn. He was as hard headed as they came. Glaring a hole right through Christian, but it was clear nothing was going to be done. This was not a war he would win. Yet again being stopped in his tracks by one of the Co-Owners of SCW. Harris found himself turning around at that point and starting to storm away. Noah in tow leaving Christian to himself once more.

Christian then nods to Ms. Rocky Mountains and he heads off camera.




Before the show had even gone live. A pre-recorded segment was beginning to air at this time. Right outside the Craig Maclean Leisure Center. Several hundreds of fans could be seen lined up waiting to get in line, but some of those fans were starting to get out of the line and flock over to another tiny crowd that could be seen forming around someone with a megaphone in hand. As the cameras were able to get closer. It was revealed to be GUY right there in the middle of the fans. Bag full of shirts in one hand, and the megaphone in the other.

Guy: Two Guys, 1 Shirt. Hot off the press. One time deal. Buy two, get a third one free!

Of course the fans were excited as ever. Being around someone that was part of the show and getting a chance to buy some merch before the show even began. Sounded like quite a steal to them. Several fans held out their cash towards him.

Guy: Easy easy now. Guy will take all your Cash Munnies! Form a line here!

He was trying to restore some order in the chaos that he was causing, but that wasn't going to be so easy with amped up wrestling fans. Money was nearly thrown at him at that point. As he was doing his best to hand out shirts. That was until all of the sudden a loud booming voice could be heard and caused everything to quiet down.

Security Guard: What in the world is going on over here?!

People started to back up some. Seeing the guard with his badge starting to walk towards them all. Guy was quickly trying to stuff any money he had gotten from the fans in that brief moment away. Out of sight. Not trying to find himself in any trouble. The guard continued to walk right up to Guy.

Security Guard: Care to explain yourself son?

Guy: Sorry no speaky, any Paul Blart Mall Cop!

Security Guard: Real Clever... Are you out here selling merchandise?!

Guy: Uh. . . nope! Just carrying it inside. Being a good ol' Christian boy. Helping out and paying them wrastlin' dues!

Guy put on the biggest fake smile he possibly could. Hoping that it was going to get him out of trouble, but it was a little too late for that. The Guard took notice of a hundred sticking out of Guy's pocket and grabbed it. Holding it up before his face.

Security Guard: Then care to explain this?

Guy: Uhm. . . It's lunch money! Yeah, lunch money!

Security Guard: You know boy. I might have been born at night, but it sure as hell wasn't last night. And selling merchandise without a permit to do so. Especially in a well-licenses company like Sin City Wrestling can lead to a whole lot of legal troubles for you.

At that point Guy was starting to sweat so bad. The white paint that covered his face was causing it to run a little. Thankfully for Guy, he was about to be bailed out by an unlikely source. Jogging up quite quickly was Calvin Harris. The fans still around were excited to see him, but he didn't have much time to engage while approaching the two men before him.

Calvin Harris: Yo! Yo! What's the issue?

Security Guard: The issue here Mr. Harris is. . . this thing.

Guy: My pronouns are HIM and GUY. Thank you very much!

Security Guard: Point is, I caught him red handed selling merchandise. He denied it. I know he doesn't have a permit to be selling this at a SCW function. He's in a lot of trouble.

For a second Calvin just looked over at Guy. All the shirts he had and the money falling out of his pocket. Letting out a deep sigh, Calvin looked back up at the Guard.

Calvin Harris: Listen man. I take full responsibility for this. He's my guest tonight. I didn't exactly go over certain things with him. That's my bad. But look, how about we make this all go away eh?

Reaching for the hundred that was still in the Guard's hand. Taking it away before stuffing it in the top pocket of the Guard's outfit. Calvin leaning in and speaking in an almost soft whisper.

Calvin Harris: Buy yourself and your other buddies. A nice round of donuts. Forget this ever happened and enjoy your night.

That's when Calvin turned around and grabbed a hold of Guy by the scruff of his neck and started to make him walk with him towards the entrance of the building.

Calvin Harris: And you wonder why I was hesitant to allow you to be a manager tonight. Or why I've tried to have you banned from venues. You're stirring up too much trouble!

Guy: Controversy creates cash. And I'm making a lot of it! Besides... the people, they love us.

Following those words coming from Guy's mouth. There was a very soft chant that could be heard as the two men rounded their way around the building.

"TWO GUYS, ONE CAPE!" ... "TWO GUYS, ONE CAPE!" ... "TWO GUYS, ONE CAPE!"

It wasn't falling on deaf ears with Guy. His smile was only getting brighter and brighter. Calvin on the other hand was trying to ignore it. Marching up to the door and opening it up to walk themselves in. Letting it close behind them.

Calvin Harris: Dude, just do me a favor. I've got other things to focus on right now. Please for the love of God. Just keep your nose clean around here.

Guy: Nose clean? No problem, the Guy learned to say no to drugs many years ago. No booger sugar for me!

Calvin Harris: You're hopeless, I swear...

Shaking his head like he had so many times before in their conversations. Turning to walk away from him and leaving Guy to his own devices, which based on what was happening so far. That might not have been the best idea. Regardless the pre-recorded segment came to an end as the show was back to a live feed and focusing on the ring.




The scene opens backstage where we see Jessie Salco rewatching the in ring confrontation between Krystal Wolfe and Gabriel on a monitor with her arms crossed, the veteran Bombshell has an unreadable expression on her face.

Jessie: After all these years that son of a bitch still knows how to make a fucking entrance.

Jessie comments to herself as she shakes her head not realizing that someone is standing behind her.

Jessie: If these issues has been building up so long then how the hell did I miss it? I've been there myself for fuck's sake!

Gabriel: You have done many questionable things Jessica.

Jessie: Questionable isn't even the word for it Gab.........

Jessie promptly spins on her heel and comes face to face (well, as close as a petite woman like Jessie can get to face to face with a man as tall as Gabriel) with Gabriel.

Jessie: How long have you been standing there?

Gabriel: Long enough, and I was hoping we'd get a chance to talk before your Roulette Title Match.

Jessie does a double take upon hearing that.

Jessie: You wanted to talk to me? After all the horrible shit I said and did in 2018? I specifically remember you saying that you had lost all respect for me!

Gabriel: And I did, I found your words towards Ben Jordan, a long-time friend of yours, reprehensible and beyond the pale after everything he went through! But you know what they say about time?

Jessie: It heals all wounds?

Gabriel: Exactly.

Gabriel responds before offering a handshake to Jessie and she's clearly taken aback by this.

Jessie: And what exactly brought this on? We haven't exactly been on speaking terms since that fateful day in 2018! Hell, I would've sent Harper to the Go Gym if it weren't for that.

Gabriel: And I would've happily taken in Ms. Mason as a trainee, the fact that she survived a gruelling graduation match against you, Keira and Roxi proved to me that she would've done just fine at the Go Gym.

Jessie: You still haven't answered my question.

Gabriel: I suppose not, you have Ariana to thank for this.

Jessie: Really?

Gabriel: Yes, really, she has been going to bat for you ever since she started training at your home gym, same applies to Krystal but you already know the situation there, Ariana's perspective on you caused me to rethink how I saw your actions over the years.

Jessie: And what about Daniel? We both know he's been one of my harshest critics.

Gabriel: He has, not without reason but he has, he is slowly coming around on you and your Hall of Fame speech may have swayed him completely, I can't speak for the rest of London Underground but they will come around in time.

Jessie looks Gabriel over before she accepts the handshake with a firm grip.

Jessie: Any chance Harper could get some extra reps at the Go Gym if she needs it? Kid's got a lot on her plate coming up.

Gabriel: So I heard and it can be arranged as she also has Ariana vouching for her, we will be in touch and good luck tonight.

Gabriel walks off after Jessie releases the handshake as the scene fades.




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

The lights in the arena go out, causing the usual hysteria from the crowd. After a few seconds, Peter Vaughn's face appears on the big tron, darkly smirking down at the fans.

"This Time... It's Different."

After Vaughn finishes speaking, he begins to laugh. His laughter carries on as the Tron video overtakes his image, beginning with "This Time It's Different" by Evans Blue. Vaughn comes out from the back, smiling at the reaction he's getting.

Justin: Making his way to the ring at this time. Standing at just five foot, eight inches tall. Weighing in at one hundred and eighty five pounds. The Mechanic, PEEEEETTTEEERRRR VAAAAUUUUGHNNNNN!

He stops on the ramp, surveying the hatred from the crowd. From Vaughn's reaction, you'd think they were chanting his name, as he walks down the aisle with a cocky smile. He heads straight through the ropes and into his corner, stretching and preparing for a fight.

Justin: And now introducing his opponent. Standing at six foot one, weighing in tonight at two hundred and fifteen pounds... MIIIIIIIILLLLLEEEESSSSS KAAAAAAASSSSEEEEYYYYYY!

"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!

Simone: We got ourselves quite the match up on paper here.

Adams: One thing I love about matches like this is when two men have very similar styles. We're going to see a lot of fast pace high flying action out of these two.

Simone: That style the crowd really eats up too. Regardless of how reckless and dangerous it can be for the wrestlers.

Adams: Let's hope it doesn't end in any kind of tragedy as things are about to get started here.

DING DING DING

The bell officially starts things off as Kasey and Peter find themselves circling around one another for a second. Seemingly trying to get a feel for one another before finally meeting in the middle of the ring for a very nice and tight collar-elbow tie up. Kasey had a little bit of the height advantage over Peter as he started to back him into the corner a little. Quickly the referee injects themselves forcing a break up and both men do so cleanly. Kasey with a little smirk on his face as he backs up inviting Peter to come on out of the corner.

Adams: You know it's good to see Miles in such a good mood after everything he's been through the last month or so.

Simone: I'm just glad he's doing all the goofy stuff in the ring, instead of at ring side like the last show. That was quite distracting to the whole show if you ask me.

Adams: Well, no one did ask you. No offense, but I really found it to be entertaining last week. So did the people!

Peter had come out of the corner as both men went to lock up again. This time Kasey slipped behind him and grabbed a hold of both legs to pull them out from under him. Peter fell face first into the mat. Kasey turned and went running towards the ropes but as soon as he hit them. Peter rolled over trying to cut him off resulting in Kasey leaping over him to hit the other side of the ropes. Once he came rebounding back Peter was on his feet and waiting for him going for a Hip Tos-No! Kasey blocked the attempt and reversed it into an arm drag to take Peter down. Peter was quick to get up as he came rushing towards Kasey. Quickly ducking Peter's arm, Kasey then hooked Peter around his waist and lifted him up to drop him smack dab in the middle of the ring for a Backdrop Suplex. Wasting no time Kasey went for the cover.

Simone: First pin attempt of the match.

ONE!

Adams: Peter isn't going out like this.

TWO!

TH-NO!

PETER KICKS OUT!

Simone: You called that one Jason. Peter is not giving up so easily here tonight.

Back inside the ring Kasey was on his feet and pulling Peter up with him. With both men up Peter suddenly popped Kasey's hands off his and leaped driving his knee right into the gut of Kasey forcing him to double over for a brief moment. Peter grabbed the back of Kasey's head and went rushing towards the ropes, throwing Kasey over the top rope. Kasey being the skilled technician he was managed to land right on his feet on the apron. However Peter had that scouted as well because he wasted no time leaping into the air and landed a picture perfect dropkick to Kasey's chest sending him flying off the apron and hitting the guardrail before hitting the floor with a thud.

Adams: Peter is starting to come alive here. This is what he needed!

Simone: He'd be smart to just let Miles get counted out at this point. That looked like a nasty fall to the outside.

Adams: It may be smart, but I don't think that's the approach Peter is going to take.

In the ring Peter is getting himself hyped up by bouncing up and down. Kasey is holding his back in pain while using the very guardrail he hit to pull himself up to his feet. Peter saw the opportunity and went rushing towards the ropes for a SUICIDE DIV-NO! Just as Peter began the dive Kasey drilled him with a massive forearm to the face causing Peter to go limp in the ropes.

Simone: That one is going to hurt in the morning!

Adams: You can say that again! But can we talk about Miles's awareness to be able to avoid something like that. Especially after that fall to the outside!

Simone: It was impressive, but he has to do something with the opening he has created here!

Kasey was pulling himself up on the apron while keeping a hold of Peter's head. He was very much out of it. As soon as he was up on the apron Kasey pulled Peter through the ropes and placed his head between his legs before grabbing his waist. Lifting Peter up onto his shoulders for a POWERBOM-NOOO! Peter at the very last second was able to turn the move into a hurricanrana that drove Kasey head first into the ring post. Kasey seemed to be out leaning against the ring post on the edge of falling off the apron. Peter was quick to grab a hold of Kasey and toss him into the ring where he laid flat.

Adams: When Miles comes to. There's no doubt he's going to have one hell of a headache!

Simone: That's if he comes to!

Adams: You're right about that one.

Simone: Oh, what is Peter up to now!

Back in the ring Peter was climbing the top rope from the outside. Once he was perched up there he took one look down at where Kasey laid and went for it all. Leaping from the top for THE PLUNG-NOOOOOOO! At the very last second Kasey was able to roll out of the ring and avoid danger. Peter landing on his backside heard and immediately began to yell in agony. Kicking his feet in pain.

Simone: Wow! That was a close one!

Adams: Once again Kasey showed that in ring awareness and managed to get out of the way. One would have to assume if Peter hit that. It would have been over!

Simone: Well you know what they say about people that assume.

Adams: Let's not even go there Belinda.

Peter was still writhing in pain after missing the move. As Kasey was up on his hands and knees in the corner finally realizing the situation before him. He pushed himself up to his feet knowing he had to take advantage of the situation to put it to an end. Rushing over and driving his elbow as hard as he could into the back of the head of Peter connecting successfully with DOUBLE EDGE SWORD to put Peter down. The crowd was loving what they had just seen. Cheering at the top of their lungs causing Kasey to just look out at them for a moment with a smile on his face.

Adams: What are you doing Miles? Time is starting to run out here!

Simone: This is a problem when people start to rise in popularity. They get lost in the adoration from the fans and it clouds their mindset!

Adams: I don't think there is anything wrong with taking in the love from the fans, but not when there is thirty seconds left in a match.

Kasey seemingly isn't aware of the timer as he grabs a hold of Peter and hoists him up on his shoulders in a bit of an awkward position before successfully connecting with HAIL TO THE QUEEN! There was a huge pop from the crowd as Kasey rolled Peter over going for the cover, but as soon as the cover was made the time ran out.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen. As a result of a time limit draw. This match will have no defined winner!

Inside the ring Kasey was getting to his feet approaching the referee with a confused look on his face. The fans themselves were just as confused as there were a couple of boos being heard. Not liking the outcome when things were so close to being over and leading to Kasey's hand being raised in victory. Discussing with the referee Kasey was able to understand what had happened. Gripping the ropes in frustration and shaking his head.

Simone: This is quite the bummer to have things end this way, but Kasey is kind of at fault.

Adams: Again, I don't think it's a matter of being at fault. He just allowed himself to become too distracted with our loving fans tonight.

Simone: And it cost him, so therefore his fault.

Adams: Matter of opinion, matter of opinion. But I look forward to a rematch with these two in the near future.

Inside the ring Peter was sitting up in the corner as he was being informed of what took place. Kasey just kind of looked over at him still with a disappointed look on his face. Knowing that in the end there was no one to really blame. Kasey found himself rolling out of the ring and started to slap hands with the fans while making his way up the ramp.




ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP - FATAL FOURWAY
MALACHI vs "BULLDOG" BILL BARNHART vs PETER VAUGHN vs TBD




LAST WEEK

Following Climax Control, the cameras find a very heated Malachi, his 5 and a half month pregnant wife Bella Madison and her mother Laura Phoenix. You can tell that Laura is trying to appeal to cooler heads but just coming up empty.

Laura Phoenix: Look, it's a rough call. That match was intense and insane and you looked amazing. I know it wasn't the result you wanted, Mal. But once things calm down and you aren't still tuned up from it all...

Bella Madison: Mom, I know you are trying to help right now and seeing this from a management standpoint...

Laura Phoenix: That's just one area, I'm also looking at it as a veteran AND a concerned parent. Him, I come to expect it from, but you?

Bella shrugs, slightly with her arms crossed in front of her.

Bella Madison: Well after he went above and beyond to threaten me? Can you blame me?

Laura Phoenix: No, I can't and Mal made him pay for that 10-fold. Guys like Harris will always take the low hanging fruit because it will get him exactly what he wants. They don't care how it affects everyone else as long as the end result is them victorious.

Laura turns and looks directly at her son-in-law.

Laura Phoenix: I'm going to repeat this: you made a whole lot of those shitheels, as you like to put it, eat a giant plate of crow tonight and I am proud of you. But I want you to seriously take time to cool down and think about your next steps wisely.

Male Voice: There she is! Mark, they're all over here!

All three's eyes shift as they see Christian Underwood and Mark Ward heading towards them.

Bella Madison: Uh oh...the last time I saw this they told me I was pregnant.

Malachi: Probably best if I go get cleaned up and changed before they reach us.

He gives Bella a kiss on the cheek and nudges Laura with a smirk.

Malachi: Thanks.

Mal manages to escape before the bosses arrive at the mother-daughter duo.

Mark Ward: Is everything alright with him?

Laura looks back for a moment and she shrugs.

Laura Phoenix: I'm sure it will be. I will say I am glad that I got to be apart of this, if only for a little while. Getting to travel with the kids and entertaining like this again, it did the soul some good.

Christian Underwood: That crowd loved you tonight and Malachi as well. I don't think he knew what to make of the reaction he got.

Laura Phoenix: It was something to behold and I'm gonna miss it. It sucks so much that Mac and I lost but Bobbie and Jack were just that much better tonight.

Bella Madison: I knew my mom still had it and the fact of how they were cheering for her to sign a contract afterwards?

Mark Ward: Actually, that's kind of why Christian and I sought you out, Laura.

Laura looks confused for a moment, tilting her head to the side.

Laura Phoenix: Not sure I'm following.

Christian Underwood: Well we know that you have your hands full, with your son and keeping a close eye on Bella as well as your position with Apex.

Laura Phoenix: Well..it's more or less just office work right now but go on.

Mark Ward: We wanted to offer you a contract to stay on with SCW as a wrestler. You have been a delight to have around, I know that there are a few bombshells that are just biting at the bit to work with you and we are more than willing to work around whatever you may have going on.

Both women's eyes grow big as Mark hands Laura a folder and Laura slowly opens it up to glance at it.

Christian Underwood: Think about it and let us know.

The two men go to step away leaving Laura reading before she shakes her head and looks up.

Laura Phoenix: Hold up!

Laura catches up to them and pulls a pen out of her inside jacket pocket and flips a few pages and signs it on the spot, which seemingly surprises both Mark and Christian.

Mark Ward: Laura, there's no rush!

Laura Phoenix: You two should know by now, I never rush into any situation.

She finishes signing what needs to be, closes the folder shut and hands it back to them.

Laura Phoenix: Consider me an SCW Bombshell!




In the parking lot area, a small crowd of people could be seen huddled up by a limo. As the cameras got a little closer, it turned out that group of people consisted of the SCW Heavyweight Champion: Michael Harris, both his wives: Carmen and Blair, and the man that had been seen a little earlier on. A man that referred to himself as Harris' lawyer: Noah Vanderbilt. With the audio starting to pick it up, Harris was livid.

Michael Harris: What the hell was that?! Huh?!

Noah Vanderbilt: Mr. Harris. Please...

Michael Harris: Shut up! You were hired by my wife. Flown all the way out here. Because you guaranteed that you could get things done. You guaranteed that this matter would be handled.

Noah Vanderbilt: Now wait just a minute. I do not believe at any point I guaranteed anything in our conversations.

Michael Harris: Oh, so you've got the balls on you to tell me that my wife LIED to me?!

Blair DuCharme-Harris: Je n'ai jamais menti!

The look on Blair's face said it all speaking in her native tongue. By no means was she happy with what was being implied. Noah clearly started to look stressed from the situation.

Noah Vanderbilt: I did not call anyone a liar.

Michael Harris: Well, that's what's happening. Either, you're saying my wife is a liar and that you didn't guarantee the situation being resolved tonight. Or you're telling me you're a fraud that took the money and essentially screwed me over making the situation worse! So which is it?

Noah Vanderbilt: You know have you ever for even a single solid second sat back and thought that maybe you're the problem?

Carmen Rivera-Harris: Excuse you?!

Noah Vanderbilt: I said what I said. No one has this much controversy and this much chaos surrounding them unless they're directly involved somehow. You have clearly made yourself a target Mr. Harris!

Blair DuCharme-Harris: You disrespectful imbecile!

Noah had both women heated at that point. They weren't going to stand for any type of disrespect thrown towards their husband. Especially someone that had been flown out to handle business on their time. All of the sudden the champion himself didn't appear to be as irritated as he was moments ago. In fact he found himself laughing a little. All the attention started to shift towards him.

Noah Vanderbilt: Something I said amuse you, Mr. Harris?

Michael Harris: Just a little bit. Specifically the whole bit about making myself a target. Because we seem to have that in common.

Noah Vanderbilt: What? How do we have that in common? What about me is making myself a target and subjecting myself to chaos?

Michael Harris: It's your face!

Before Noah even had a chance to respond to the comment being made. Harris proceeded to PUNCH Noah right in the face. Catching him right on the nose as Noah fell to the concrete pavement. The moment he was able to look up the amount of blood that was leaking from his nose told the story of what people could only expect to be a broken nose.

Quickly Harris grabbed a hold of Noah by the head and pulled him to his feet starting to bash his head against the trunk of the limo. Over and over again. The sound of that skull hitting metal was sickening. On the final blow, Harris released Noah as he fell to the concrete pavement again in an unconscious state. Carmen quickly grabbed her husband by the wrist forcing him to look at her.

Carmen Rivera-Harris: What are you doing?!

Michael Harris: Handling yet another problem!

Carmen Rivera-Harris: No, you're creating another problem!

Michael Harris: ... Just get rid of him!

That's all that needed to be said on his end. Carmen shakes her head quite frustrated with the situation before them all. The trunk to the limo was now open as Carmen called for Blair to help her attempt to lift Noah's limp body up. It was a struggle but the two of them managed to roll his body into the trunk as they closed it. By that time Harris had picked his title up off the ground and went to the back door of the limo yanking it open.

Michael Harris: Let's get out of here.

Following his words Carmen and Blair both proceeded to climb inside the limo where he had opened the door for them. As he peered over around the parking garage seemingly looking to see if anyone had been watching. With both women now inside, he slammed his hand down on the top of the limo as it was a single as he climbed inside and closed the door. Right away the limo began peeling out of the parking lot leaving the entire SCW audience in shock over what they had just seen.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Ariana Angelos standing in front of her white board with the pointer in hand, however her jaw is practically on the floor as she is still reeling from the Gabriel/Krystal segment.

Francisco: Err, Ari?

Ariana doesn't respond as she blinks a couple of times.

Francisco: Babe?

Ariana still doesn't respond and Francisco sighs.

Francisco: I am taking my clothes off........

Ariana: Huh? What? Oh don't tease a girl like that Franky!

Francisco: You're the one who was staring into space after Gabriel surprised Krystal!

Ariana: I wasn't expecting him to be here tonight! Then again, neither was Krystal! Anyway, it's it's class time right?

Francisco nod and Ariana does her best to regain her composure.

Ariana: Today class is he last day of the Quarter Finals and me and Oliver have quite the task ahead of us because me and Oliver are facing the team everyone expects to win! J2H and Devona!

Ariana says as she points to the match graphic for her tag team match.

Ariana: Me and Devona know each other well, in fact Devona knows me from when I was still a student at the Go Gym having been present for my first day! Way back on the 22nd of April 2018 alongside my bestie HB Carter! Fitting that I end up being one of her opponents for when she returns to SCW four years later, right?

Francisco: Five years, we're in 2023.

Ariana: Exactly what I said! Five years! J2H on the other hand is the name that everyone loves to hate, and if you ask him? They may as well skip the pleasantries and just award him and Devona the Blast from the Past winners trophy alongside the title shots!

Ariana sighs as she points to Michael Harris's picture which has been doctored to look like it was taken on a old black and white camera with a comically large top hat and handlebar moustache photoshopped on.

Ariana: But I ask you, do we really want to ask the question of who's the biggest asshole in SCW with a match between J2H and Michael Harris? Or do you want to see some new blood ascend to the top of the mountain? And by new blood, I mean Oliver Zahn off course!

Ariana says as she moves the pointer to the picture of Roxi.

Ariana: But as for me and Roxi? I'm not gonna lie, challenging Roxi for the World Bombshell Title is something I've dreamed about since I was starting out as a wrestling fan, if it takes me beating some of the best women to ever grace this ring to earn that shot against Roxi and make that dream come true? Well, I've already beaten Sam Marlowe, I guess Devona's next on my list!

Ariana says before she brushes some hair over her shoulder.

Ariana: And tonight? I'll see if I can make that dream a reality or go back to the drawing board! But if all goes well tonight they will bask in the Greek Angel's light!

Ariana and Francisco walk off as the scene fades.




Simone: It's time for our first Blast from the Past Match of the evening and it promises to be a big one! Calvin Harris and Dawn Warren beat The Saviours team of Chris Page and Melissa in controversial fashion in the first round but now they have to deal with two more Saviours as they take on Kim Pain and Goth!

Adams: Kim and Goth bested Bea Barnhart and Hitamashi to get this far in the tournament but it's safe to say that dealing with a former World Champion and an unpinned youngster will be a significantly more difficult test for them!

Simone: Enough talk, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following contest is a second round Blast from the Past Tournament Match!

Ain't it Fun by Paramore begins to blast across the speakers. As it does Dawn makes her way out from behind the curtains smirking alongside Calvin Harris. She claps the hands of the roaring fans before sliding into the ring whilst Calvin follows closely behind.

Justin: Introducing first, "The Pink Puppy" Dawn Warren! And her partner, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 225ibs, CALVIN HARRIS!

Simone: Dawn and Calvin are a dysfunctional team for sure but they've proven themselves to be worthy competitors even with the controversial way they won their first round match!

Adams: Not to mention this is the third meeting between Kim and Dawn! Kim's the reason why Dawn is no longer undefeated in SCW and she only remains unpinned because both of her defeats were in multi-woman matches and someone else, namely Seleana and Mercedes, took the pin for her!

Dawn and Calvin wait un the middle of the ring for Goth and Kim to make their entrance but no one comes out after a few minutes and the partners share a confused look, seconds later Christian comes jogging down the ramp with a purpose.

Simone: What's going on? Goth and Kim are nowhere to be seen and Christian's come down to the ring.

Adams: Is he going to wrestle Calvin?

Christian goes straight to Justin and has a quick conversation with the ring announcer as Dawn and Calvin watch on, Justin nods along before he puts a mic to his lips.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that the scheduled matchup between Calvin and Dawn and Kim and Goth will no longer be taking place.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Simone: Well that was unexpected.

Adams: What's going on?

Justin: Unfortunately Goth suffered an injury earlier this week and has not been medically cleared, therefore the team of Calvin Harris and Dawn Warren automatically advance to the semi-finals of this year's Blast from the Past Tournament!

Simone: Well, there you have it folks, we have our first team through to the semi-finals but not in the way anyone wanted.

Adams: Much less Calvin and Dawn, look at the look on their faces.

Dawn and Calvin were clearly looking forward to the match as they don't look in any mood for celebration, Calvin shakes his head before leading Dawn to the back holding down the middle rope for her to help her exit the ring as the duo head to the back.




Austin James Mercer sits backstage, away from everyone and everything letting out a loud sigh as he shakes his head. He looks up and forward before sneering.

Austin James Mercer: This issue between myself and Miles needs to be addressed and settled. But, it also seems like we have others sticking their noses in our business. From Michael Harris to the troll we have instigators.

He scoffs and turns his nose up before running a hand through his short brown hair..

Austin James Mercer: And I put the troll where he belongs because I was forced to. See, SCW decided I needed to be in action against him and it was meant to be a distraction so I kept my hands off you and Carter. But, the problem is that any and all of this is my decision and my doing. I choose when I attack, I choose how I attack and I choose who my target is. A fact that seems to have escaped Michael Harris...

He can't help but laugh and pushes from the sitting position he found himself in up to his feet.

Austin James Mercer: I told you, wrong place, wrong time Michael. And instead of just taking that as fact you decided to keep coming. So, let me put it bluntly. You have that title due to the grace of god and because I would rather go after Miles right now. Your ego won't allow you to simply move on and go find someone else to run your mouth about. Your fragile little ego didn't even let you consider for one moment that I didn't give a shit about you...and have now been forced to...

Austin shrugs.

Austin James Mercer: So now, I have to rectify that situation to. See Miles has his focus split, your actions and words and my own mistake of interfering in the match between you two means instead of focusing on the fucking life lesson I am trying to teach him he is looking over at you. And what is it you are going to teach the impressionable youth? Hmmm? Is it how to come on this show and verbally masturbate to the point of climax making the name of the show even more ironic than it already was Michael?...

Here I am having to deal with children...

Children who look like they are almost sixty, running around in their last moments of relevancy...

So, keep using me to make yourself seem like a bigger deal. After all, the fact you're the world champion doesn't seem to cut it does it? It didn't scratch that attention itch you have....so there...there's your ten minutes of fame you desperately wanted...but now...i'll just end you both

Austin scoffs as the screen cuts to black..




The scene opens backstage where we see Jessie Salco standing by for an interview with Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Jessie tonight you are serving as Luna Vanity's first challenger since she dethroned Crystal Caldwell for the title two weeks ago, do you have any thoughts about this?

Jessie: Where do I start? There's a lot in Luna that I see in me when I won the Roulette Title for the first time ten years ago, we're both high flyers, we are from a southern US state and our first title was the Roulette.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yes, you are from Florida and Luna's from Louisiana but surely there's other similarities?

Jessie: Well, we are both brunette women who are on the shorter end of the height scale, oh yeah and there's one other thing, tell me Rocky, do you remember how long my first reign lasted?

Ms. Rocky Mountains blinks before she nods.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: It lasted a couple of weeks before you lost it to Joanne Canelli in a Roulette Rules Dumpster match, right in the middle of the Team Erick debacle.

Jessie: And that idiot tried the same stunt years later when he was running SCU with GRIME, if that's not a one trick pony I don't know what is!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Err, Jessie? Your point?

Jessie: I was getting to that! Now, I doubt Luna has pissed anyone off enough for them to interfere in our match tonight and cost her the gold and I don't have enough allies for anyone to jump at the chance to do it free of charge either, but I do have is a decade of experience over Luna and I will be using that experience to end her reign prematurely!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Are you sure? Crystal's been wrestling almost as long as you have and Luna dethroned her.

Jessie: Comparing Crystal to me is like comparing shit to chocolate ice cream, we may be similar but we are not the same! And tonight? Luna will find that out the hard way when I end her reign as Bombshell Roulette Champion by striking her like Blood Lightning!

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




The scene opens backstage where we see Miss Rocky Mountains standing in front of the Roulette Wheel, as she prepares to spin the wheel. Either side of Rocky is the new Bombshell Roulette champion Luna Vanity and her opponent Jessie Salco.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the wheel spin for tonight's bombshell Roulette championship match.

Ms. Rocky Mountains turns and grabs one of the pegs and pulls hard and the wheel begins to spin. The wheels spins past the many options > Last Man Standing > First Blood > submission match > TLC > Dumpster Match and so on. It soon begins to slow as Luna and Jessie look on in anticipation. Another few seconds pass and the wheel stops.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: The match will be a Last Woman Standing match. Good luck ladies

Jessie and Luna nod and accept the outcome and go their separate ways, as the scene fades out on the roulette wheel.




Justin: This match is for the Bombshell Roulette Championship... and has been determined as a Last Woman Standing match introducing first...

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

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

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

Justin: and her opponent and the currently Bombshell Roulette Champion...

All lights begin to dim, as the opening Air Raid sirens of "Obey the Queen" begin to play through the arena. A spotlight appears on the center of the stage, from the left side of the arena as the words 'Wake Up' come through. All lights gone now. Another spotlight from the opposite side as the word 'die' comes through. A final spotlight, directly above follows 'A Queen'. With measured, slowly steps, Luna backs slowly into the triple spotlight. Her jet black hair tied back in double Dutch braids, hanging down towards her stunningly white outfit. A pearl white leather jacket, three small metal spikes on each shoulder pad. High waisted white shorts glittery in appearance, shimmering in the direct light. Beneath the jacket, a sleeveless white turtleneck crop. Around her waist the Bombshell Roulette Championship. "ENOUGH!". All three lights go out, before a quick pop of pyro and all lights come back on. Luna flicks her shoulders back and lets her jacket slide off her shoulders, hanging loose around her elbows as she turns on her heel. Measured, purposeful strides take her down the ramp towards the ring. The mixture of cheers and boos from the crowd roaring above the music. She drops her jacket to the ground as she gets to the ring, walking up the nearest set of steps. A quick one two up the bottom two ropes, before she leans forward and flips over the top rope to land in the ring. She winks out at the crowd, blowing a long kiss with a low twisting bow. She takes the belt off her waist and raises it high.

As soon as her music dies down, she hands the Roulette championship to the ref, who turns to Salco and Salco gives it a light tap. Before the ref hands it off to ringside before indicating for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

The ref keeps Salco and Vanity apart until he rings the bell, they exchange a few words before backing away. Salco moves in and locks up with Vanity, but Vanity releases and counters into a headlock, Salco twists as she seeks a way out of the move, but Vanity doesn't release. Salco grabs her hand and feed an arm into a gap and bit by bit she slowly breaks free, but Vanity grabs a handful of hair and drags her back into a headlock before taking down to the mat, but Salco gets a leg up and across the neck of Vanity before taking her down and locking in a headscissors, but that is only brief as Vanity kicks her legs out and breaks Salco's hold.

Simone: Good early exchange between the two as they start off with exchanging a few words before locking up but that's brief as Vanity quickly gets the upper with a headlock, as Salco brief finds a way but Vanity grabs a handful of hair and drags her back and takes her down to the mat, but Salco quickly counter with a headscissors, which Vanity quickly escapes.

They both get back to their feet quickly, but Vanity is the first to blink as she grabs Salco and locks in a headlock, which Salco responds by grabbing some hair, as she grabs Vanity around the waist with her free hand before pushing Vanity away and she bounces off the ropes and as she comes back Salco hits an elbow, which drops Vanity, and the ref moves in and begins to count...

Adams: Vanity blinks first as both make their way to their feet, as she put Salco into a head lock but Salco grabs handful of hair as she pushes Vanity away towards the ropes and as she comes back Salco hit a high elbow which drops Vanity.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Salco looks down at Vanity, as Vanity looks up and they exchange a few words before she turns and bounces off the ropes as Vanity rolls onto her front, which Salco leaps over her before stopping as Vanity climbs to her feet and Salco tries for a chop but Vanity ducks and grabs Salco arm and tries to Irish whip her but Salco counters and sends Vanity into the ropes. Vanity comes back at Salco and Salco leaps over her and Salco turns but is met with a viciously hard slap across the face, which drops her to her knees.

Simone: The ref gets to three before Vanity makes her way back to her feet. Again more words exchanged as they have a quick run of moves with neither getting the upper hand until Vanity slaps Salco hard, which rocks her.

ONE!

Vanity quickly moves back in and grabs Salco and pulls her up, where she give Salco another verbal insult, but Salco ignores it and instead responds with a forearm shot, which drops Vanity to a knee and Salco begins to club Vanity's back a few times and then kicks her chest, which pushes Vanity into the corner. Once in the corner, Salco lifts Vanity up and hangs her upside down in the corner, which she lifts her up and proceeds to kick her back several times before backing away and Vanity frees herself and rolls from the ring as Salco dives forwards to try and grab her.

Adams: Vanity looks to continue to work on Salco but Salco catches Vanity with a forearm shot. She then follows up with some clubs across her back and then a kick to her chest and drives her into the corner. Once in the corner, Salco lifts Vanity up and hangs her upside down in the ropes before delivering some kicks to her back.

Simone: Why did she back away?

Salco looks at Vanity, as Vanity stands to her feet holding her back. Salco grabs the ropes and leaps over and catches Vanity with a plancha. Salco bounds back to her feet as she backs away as the ref moves in and begins to count...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: Salco catches Vanity with a plancha sending her down to the mat...

Vanity rolls onto her front as Salco watches on but quickly realises that Vanity is going to make it to her feet.

FOUR!

Salco approaches Vanity and gives her a mule kick to the head before lifting her up and places her between leg and lifts up and hits a powerbomb onto the apron before rolling her back into the ring. Salco climbs onto the apron and then grips the ropes and leaps over with a springboard elbow drop before rolling away and getting to her feet as she backs away to allow the referee to count..

Adams: Vanity gets to her feet at the count of 4. Salco approaches Vanity and follows up with a mule kick and while Vanity reels from that mule kick, Salco grabs Vanity and hits a powerbomb onto the apron.

Simone: ouch! That will put her down. Salco follows up with a springboard elbow drop and rolls away to allow the referee to make the count...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Vanity stays down as she is unsure which part of her body to attend too.

FOUR!

Vanity braves the pain, as she pushes herself onto her front and to her knees where she crawls to the ropes.

SEVEN!

Grabbing the middle rope, she pulls herself up to a knee...

EIGHT!

Adams: Close. But Vanity makes her way to feet and breaks the count.

She then pulls herself up to her feet and breaks the count, but she is unbalanced. Salco rushes in to attack but Vanity sends Salco up and over the top rope, where Salco lands on the apron. Vanity turns and Salco takes a wild swing but Vanity ducks and Vanity fires in a slap and then grabs Salco and drops down and bounces Salco off the top rope throat first. Salco drops down and stumbles back holding her throat, as Vanity drops to a knee for a moment to recover again...

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: Salco tries to rush Vanity, but Vanity sends Salco over the ropes before hanging her on the top rope, which Salco falls from the apron and stumbles back holding her neck. While Vanity takes a moment to recover.

Vanity stands back up, as she climbs from the ring away from where Salco is and lifts the ring skirt up, where she searches for weapons. Finding a chair, she places that on the apron before pulling out a table. She lifts the table on its side before sliding that into the ring for later use. Grabbing the chair, she moves to where Salco is and wildly swings it her way but Salco dodges. Salco continue to move around the ring before diving in the ring just as Vanity brings the chair down, which clatters the ring apron. Vanity drops the chair and give her hands and arms a shake.

Adams: Vanity looks for a weapon and find a chair and table. She slides the table into the ring before returning her focus back on Salco and the chair.

Simone: She goes after Salco with the chair. She dodges the first swing and returns to the ring, where she avoid the chair shot from Vanity. However, with the chair hitting the apron, the apron is unforgiving, and she has no choice but to release the chair.

Salco takes advantage of this distraction and rushes in grabs the ropes and drives her feet into Vanity's back and sends her forward and she drops to her knees as she still reels from the earlier powerbomb.

ONE!

Salco turns and looks at the table, where she grabs its and pulls it further into the ring, where she then sets it up in the corner.

Adams: Salco catches the unsuspecting Vanity with her feet and sends her down. She is still reeling from the earlier powerbomb. Salco sets up the table in the corner.

TWO!

THREE!

Vanity climbs back to her feet, where she bends down to grabs the chair. Salco doesn't see this and approaches the ropes and goes to grab Salco, but Vanity swings the chair up and backwards catching Salco in the face. Salco staggers backwards and grabs the ropes to stop herself from dropping down to the mat, as Vanity climbs back into the ring with the chair and approaches Salco once more and swings the chair and catches her body. Salco drops to a knee as Vanity drops the chair before grabbing Salco by the hair and places her on the table. Vanity then approaches the ropes and slowly climbs then before moving to the top turnbuckle, where she looks down and then leaps off hitting a shooting star press onto Salco. The table breaks and Salco and Vanity lay in the wreckage as the ref moves in to check on both before starting a count...

Simone: Salco tries to grab Vanity and drag her back into the ring but gets a face full of chair, which rocks her, and Vanity climbs back into the ring and swings the chair against Salco body. Salco can't defend herself from it, as Vanity drops the chair and drags Salco to the table and places her on it before finally hitting a shooting star press onto Salco.

Adams: The table breaks.

ONE!

TWO!

Vanity rolls away from Salco, while Salco lays in the demolished table...

Vanity gets to her feet as she holds onto the ropes making sure she doesn't fall.

EIGHT!

Salco grabs the ropes and gets to her knee, but before pushing up to a single knee...

NINE!

Adams: Salco just makes it to her feet, though for how long we don't know.

Salco then manages to get to her feet breaking the count, but she is unsteady. And she drops to a knee again. Vanity stumbles over to Salco and grabs her and then proceeds to throw her over the ropes to the outside. Salco drops down and sits on the floor, as Vanity picks up the chair once more and climbs out of the ring.

ONE!

TWO!

Vanity approaches Salco and Vanity goes to swing the chair, but Salco kicks out and catches Vanity on the shins. Vanity grimaces but moves back in with the chair and swing and Salco rolls out of the way and Vanity hits the mat.

Simone: Salco managed to get to feet, however, Vanity is back on her and throws her out of the ring. Outside of the ring, Vanity goes after Salco with a chair and Salco keeps dodging it.

THREE!

FOUR!

Vanity lifts the chair up once more and tries again but again Salco rolls away and gets to her knees and quickly crawls before grabbing the guard barrier and pulling herself up, just as Vanity approaches with the chair above her head, Salco hits a low blow on Vanity. Vanity drops the chair and stumbles away as Salco slowly makes her way to feet, where she rushes in and grabs Vanity by the hair and hits a running bulldog planting Vanity face to the mat.

Adams: Salco with a low blow. That will stop Vanity.

Simone: Salco follows up with a running bulldog.

ONE!

TWO!

Salco climbs back to feet, as she looks around for something before looking at her boot laces and quickly begins to undo them.

Simone: What has Salco got planned?

THREE!

FOUR!

Vanity begins to move, which prompts Salco to go a little faster as she ties the ends up. She approaches Vanity lays in a few boots before grabbing one foot and drags her towards the ring post. Once at the ring post Salco ties one end of the laces to Vanity's ankle and then lifts that leg up and she ties the other end to the turnbuckle.

FIVE!

Vanity trashes about as she tries to find a way back to her feet, Salco picks up the chair and drives the edge of the chair into Vanity's torso a couple of times.

Adams: Interesting use of boots laces and that will certainly make Vanity struggle a little.

SIX!

SEVEN!

Simone: Oof... those chair shots.

EIGHT!

Salco backs off and drops the chair.

NINE!

Adams: We have a new champion.

Vanity can't holds her torso as she sucks in some air but can't fight...

TEN!

Simone: new champion...

DING DING DING

Justin: The winner of this match and NNNNNEWWW Bombshell Roulette Champion... Jessie Salco!

Salco music his over the p.a, as she moves to barriers and leans against them to recover, as she referee approaches with the Roulette Championship and hands it over to her, as she smiles and raises it above her head.




GRUDGE MATCH - FAN'S CHOICE
ALEXANDRA CALAWAY vs LUNA VANITY




The scene opened up in the backstage area, and with the show in full swing it was a hive of activity. Production crew members were scattered all over the place and running back and forth, keeping the show running for the fans watching live and around the world. The camera wandered down the hallway a little bit, before a person rounded a corner and came into view. The fans gave an unexpectedly loud pop to see Malachi appear on the screen.

Simone: He's not scheduled to compete tonight after his unsuccessful challenge for the SCW World title last week, but Malachi has arrived regardless!

Adams: Kind of surprising, considering his rather feisty tirade on Twitter afterwards. Figured he'd need some more time to cool off after that travesty of an ending to an otherwise stellar match.

Simone: Either that, or to avoid the wrath of Christian Underwood after Malachi had some choice words to say about the referee's decision to disqualify him that night.

Dressed in a royal blue dress shirt and black pants, Malachi was seen holding a large bouquet of assorted types of flowers as he walked along the hallways. He seemed to be looking for someone in particular, and he stopped a passing crew member.

Malachi: Can you tell me where I can find the referee's locker rooms?

The crew member gave him a curious glance, but pointed down the hallway. Malachi gave him a smile and a pat on the shoulder as he continued on his way. As he passed people, everyone stopped to stare as he walked by, confusion clearly evident on their faces.

Eventually he came to a door that was marked "Ring Crew & Referees", and he knocked lightly on it. A few moments passed before it swung inward, and head referee Jasmine St. John poked her head out. When she saw that it was Malachi, a hesitant look crossed her face, but she opened the door a bit wider.

Jasmine St. John: Can I help you?

Malachi: Don't worry, I come in peace, I swear.

He held the bouquet of flowers out to her.

Malachi: I know that I flew off the handle last week both after the match and on Twitter, and some of that anger I directed at you. Once I calmed down, I realized that was completely out of line, and you were just doing the job that you were hired for. I can't say that I agree with the decision, but you made the call that you thought was right at the time. So I just wanted to formally apologize to you for my behaviour.

The petite referee stared at the bouquet of flowers in her hand, and then at Malachi. Her wide-eyed gaze switched back and forth for a few moments, before she shook her head slightly.

Jasmine St. John: Um...thank you. This was unexpected, but I appreciate it.

Malachi: Think nothing of it.

He gave her a smile as he reached out his hand for a handshake. She took it and they shook before Malachi took his leave of the area. The camera stayed on Jasmine for a few moments as she watched him walk off, the look of surprise still etched across her face. The camera then returned to ringside, showing a very shocked-looking Belinda Simone and Jason Adams. Both had their mouths wide open and their eyes wide.

Simone: In all my time behind the commentary desk at SCW, I've never seen anything like that before.

Adams: We've had many of our roster members who have verbally and even physically attacked our officials before, but I don't think anyone has ever actually publicly apologized to any of them. And out of everyone that I could have predicted would be the first to do it, Malachi would not have even made the list.

Simone: Perhaps impending fatherhood really has changed his attitude.

Adams: Then again, when he's in that ring he's just as vicious and brutal as he's even been. But maybe you're right.

Simone: Well, let's get back to the action, shall we?




We cut to the ring where we see four local female wrestlers waiting in the ring, a blonde, a brunette, a red head and a woman with black hair, all four women are young, in their early twenties at least and can't have that much experience between them and with them is Drew Patton.

Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and, well, with the Blast from the Past match between Goth and Kim Pain and Dawn Warren and Calvin Harris no longer taking place due to Goth's injury, we had an extra slot available and that's been taken up by what's been described as a public workout.

Adams: For who is anyone's guess.

Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Krystal Wolfe public workout!

Simone: Well, that answers that question!

Adams: I guess Krystal has some anger left over from her argument with Gabriel earlier.

Justin: In the ring her opponents, from right here in Grantown on Spey, Scotland, Jenny McKansa, Andrea McKenzie, Beth Rogers and Chloe Richardson!

The four young women raise their hands in the order they are introduced before the Anti-Nightcore Mix of "A Demon's Fate" by Within Temptation hits the speakers as lights flash across the arena in time with the slowed down beat, as the lyrics kick in Krystal steps out with a confident grin on her face and her arms folded.

Justin: Their opponent! From Adelaide, Australia she is "The SA Slaya" Krystal Wolfe!

The crowd boos Krystal's announcement and she smirks before making her way down to the ring with a purpose, once she reaches the ring she gets a running start before jumping onto the apron in a seated position whilst facing the crowd , one arm on the middle rope and the other on her right leg, she jumps into the ring over the top rope after soaking in the boos for a few seconds and waits for her match to start staring down the three women as she does.

Simone: Krystal's always been a confident wrestler, but four opponents at once?

Adams: She's asking for a mic so maybe we'll get some context?

Krystal takes the mic and looks over her four opponents before addressing them.

Krystal: These are seriously the best the bosses could get on short notice? Man, this place really is a shit hole!

The crowd boos as the four women glare at the Aussie for the shot at their hometown.

Krystal: Okay, here's how this is going to work, you each get five minutes with me, one on one, if any of you win.

Krystal scoffs as she rolls her eyes.

Krystal: Like that will ever happen, I'll give you each five grand, more money than anyone in this backwater town has ever seen! I'm sure you girls know how to do basic math so tell me, what's four times five?

Simone: That's £20,000 she's promising!

Adams: And that sees to have motivated these young ladies even more.

Krystal: Now, make your choice ladies, I'm a busy woman, I have places to go and people to see.

The four women confer amongst themselves before the youngest of the four, the red-haired Jenny, volunteers to start the match and the rest of the field leave the ring, Jenny takes a moment to pose for her hometown fans and Krystal smirks.

Krystal: Drew? Ring the bell.

Krystal bull rushes Jenny before clobbering her with the mic from behind dropping her to her hands and knees, Krystal tosses the mic aside and continues to kick and stomp away at the youngster as Drew tries to get her to back off.

Simone: Is this even a sanctioned match?

Adams: I don't know but Krystal isn't letting Jenny get any offence in.

After three minutes of beating up Jenny Krystal pulls her up to her feet by her hand and glances at the remaining competitors.

Krystal: One down.......

Krystal spins Jenny around and drops her with a piledriver causing Jenny to launch into the air from the impact before crashing down. Krystal puts her foot on Jenny's midsection as Drew counts the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Justin: Jenny McKansa has been eliminated.

Simone: And just like that, Jenny has been pinned.

Adams: After Krystal attacked her from behind!

Krystal: Maybe the next idiot will do better? Go on! Time's a wasting!

The remaining three competitors talk amongst themselves as Drew checks on Jenny, eventually the raven haired rookie Andrea enters the ring looking to make up for her partner's performance, Krystal shakes her head as she turns to Drew.

Krystal: They never learn, do they?

Krystal asks and Andrea takes the opportunity to charge at Krystal........and gets blasted with a Superkick once she's in range! Krystal looks down at Andrea and shakes her head as the kick clearly knocked out the younger and stacks Andrea on top of Jenny before placing her foot on Andrea's back.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Justin: Andrea McKenzie has been eliminated.

Simone: If I were Chloe and Beth? I'd make a run for it, Krystal's clearly not playing around!

Adams: I think they heard you!

Indeed, Chloe and Beth decide to cut their losses and make a break for the back, Krystal scoffs to herself before charging the ropes and nailing the two rookies with the Athletics Check knocking them both down!

Krystal: Your not getting away from me that easily!

Krystal says dismissively before throwing both rookies back into the ring and returning to it, Krystal lets the brunette rookie Chloe get back to her feet first before drilling her with a Spear!

Simone: Good lord! Krystal nearly cut that poor girl in half!

Adams: And Beth's clearly regretting ever signing up for this!

Krystal pins Chloe with a knee on her chest whilst glaring at the clearly terrified Beth.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Justin: Chloe Richardson has been eliminated.

Krystal stands up having clearly not broken a sweat during the past few minutes and Beth backs up to the corner trying to beg her off.

Krystal: Pathetic!

Krystal shakes her head before she charges in and nearly takes the blonde rookie's head off with a corner clothesline! Beth drops to the bottom of the corner where Krystal starts choking her out with her boot and Drew applies his count.

Simone: Just call the match Drew, the poor girl is clearly outmatched!

Adams: I don't think he can hear you!

Krystal finally relents before dragging Beth out of the corner and nailing her with her version of the Ripcord Lariat, AKA the Hope Destroyer! Beth does a backflip off the impact of the move and Krystal pins her with a foot to the midsection.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Justin: Beth Rogers has been eliminated! The winner of the public workout is Krystal Wolfe!

Simone: Like that was ever in doubt!

Adams: Krystal's asking for a mic, I wonder what she has in mind?

Krystal takes the mic and paces around the ring as her four opponents lick their wounds.

Krystal: You call that a workout? I barely broke a sweat!

Krystal's eyes lock on Andrea who is sitting up having just came too!

Krystal: Let's fix that!

Before Drew can intervene Krystal pounces in Andrea with a double axe handle before locking in the Eternal Rest scissored Dragon Sleeper driving her elbows into Andrea's neck first!

Simone: Oh come on! The match is over!

Adams: Krystal clearly only cares about sending a message at this point.

Andrea taps out to the submission hold but Krystal doesn't let go, eventually Andrea's arm goes limp and Krystal lets go! But as Drew tries to get Beth and Andrea out of the ring Krystal pounces on Chloe stomping away at her before hoisting her up and getting Chloe between her legs.

Krystal: Those who cross me will beware the Ides of March!

With that ominous warning Krystal practically drives Chloe through the matt with the renamed Running Powerbomb! At this point Jenny is back on her feet and Krystal turns to her.

Krystal: How old are you kid?

Jenny hesitates as she tries to back away from Krystal but eventually answers.

Jenny: Err, I'm........I'm nineteen.

Krystal: Oh! Same age as my spoiled brat of a cousin!

Krystal chuckles before decking Jenny with the microphone dropping her.

Krystal: Consider this a message!

Without warning Krystal drops the mic and hits Jenny with The Crippler, nailing the hammerlock backstabber before transitioning to the Kimura Lock! Jenny is screaming in pain as she hopelessly taps to Krystal's submission hold but Krystal refuses to let go! UNTIL "IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT" HITS THE SPEAKERS!

Simone: Ariana has seen enough!

Adams: I'm not surprised, Jenny is the same age as Ariana when she debuted! That and this whole sham of a......

KRYSTAL SMIRKS BEFORE BREAKING JENNY'S ARM WITH THE MOVE BEFORE LETTING GO! LEAVING THE TEENAGE SCREAMING/CRYING IN PAIN! Krystal bails from the ring as Ariana slides in checking on all four rookies and paying special attention to Jenny as medics rush down to check on the four women.

Simone: The Krystal we once knew is gone! She potentially just ended that young woman's career!

Adams: In front of her family no less!

Krystal retreats up the rank with a shit eating grin on her face as Ariana is joined by Carter to help the young women way from the ring.




The action tonight had been amazing thus far. The crowd was hot and the energy could be felt all throughout the building. Cameras found themselves catching up to the "Highlight of the Night" himself, Calvin Harris. Roaming the halls, seemingly with a direction but taping up his wrists at the same time. His match tonight was right around the corner. Out of nowhere GUY came swooping into the camera frame. Big smile spread across his lips as he eyed Calvin. Of course it caused the man to stop as Calvin simply shook his head.

Calvin Harris: What, what could you possibly need now?

Guy: It's time to talk strategy!

Calvin Harris: What strategy is there for us to even discuss?

Guy: How WE can win tonight to push you and the girl that barks into the semi-finals!

Calvin Harris: ... Are you serious right now?

For a brief second Calvin just paused. Took a deep breath, seemingly collecting himself. Before looking right back at the ever so excited and full of energy weirdo to his left.

Calvin Harris: Look from the trouble you caused earlier and what I gotta do right now. I don't have time to deal with this Guy. I'll link back up with you in a bit.

Guy: Wait! What do you have to deal with? I am your manager! Your problems are my problems! We're a team. Two Guys, One Cape... FOREVER!

He had such a bright grin on those darkly painted lips.

Guy: Spill the ... diet soda. For am I not a fan of sweet tea.

Calvin Harris: Dude, you are something else. I have to go talk to Mr. Underwood and Mr. Ward. Said it was an urgent matter.

Guy: And I was not invited? The manager of all managers! I am just going to have to unfollow them on Twitter!

Calvin Harris: Don't think they'd give a shit about that.

Guy: Then, I'll cut Mark out of the merch deal! That'll show them!

In a bit of an evil manner. GUY was rubbing his hands together as if he had gotten something over on them for the time being. Meanwhile Calvin was simply rolling his eyes.

Calvin Harris: Like I said, I gotta get to this meeting. I'll catch up with you later.

Not giving Guy a chance to say anything. Calvin simply began to walk away from him. Heading in the direction of the offices for tonight's show. Guy just stood there peering in the direction that Calvin walked off in. Waiting for a second or two before starting to tiptoe in that direction. Cameras cutting elsewhere for the time being.




Back at ringside, Justin Decent stands center-ring, ready to announce the upcoming match as referee Jacob Summers stands at the ready.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a Quarter-Final match in the 2023 Blast From the Past Memorial tournament!

The crowd cheers!

The lights dim and fog rolls out in a thick cloud over the entrance area of the stage as the music starts. The fans are treated with a spotlight that kicks on just under the stage as the lift activates. Oz leans his left side and puts his elbow onto his knee, then through the smoke, his outline is slowly raised until it becomes a black figure standing at the top of the ramp.

Justin: From Jet City weighing in at 185lbs he is Oliver Zahn!

As the lift becomes level with the stage the lights are immediately flipped on, and it is as if the cloud never existed. Oz steps forward and is clearly seen in his wrestling attire. His bright purple gloves are the first thing the fans notice. He is wearing white pants with purple trim and a black shirt that reads Jet City South across the front.

He reaches ringside and before sliding in the ring takes off his shirt and tosses it into the crowd.

Justin: And his tag team partner...!

The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd.

Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!

Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and removing her cloak ready for her match.

Justin: And their opponents...!

"Jazz Stinger" begins to play across the arena's sound system and moments later, the curtains part and Devona walks out onto the stage to the approval of the fans. She looks calmly out at the crowd and slowly smiles while nodding her head.

Justin: Introducing! From New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing one hundred and twenty eight pounds -- Devona!

Holding her arms out, Devona turns in a full circle atop the stage before she begins descending the ramp and walks toward the ringside area, slapping hands left and right along the way. She then gets a running start and slides smoothly into the ring, beneath the bottom rope. Hopping to her feet, Devona jumps onto the bottom rope to look out to the cheering fans, holding her arms out and beckons with her hands for more and louder cheers for which the crowd on hand obliges. She then drops back down to the mat and takes her place in her corner to wait for her partner's introduction.

Justin: And her tag team partner...!

The lights in the arena drop out to pitch black, before gold and blue lights flash around the top of the entrance ramp as a heavy guitar rift. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung, J2H confidently walks out on to the stage with Austin Parker.

Justin: Being Accompanied to the ring by Austin Parker. From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds, he is J2H!

Austin is wearing faded blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots and hat, as he walks slightly in front of the shirtless J2H, wearing gold shorts, boots and kneepads with "J2H" written on the back of the shorts. The SCW World Heavyweight championship sits around his waist. J2H looks around the crowd before he walks towards the ring with, a confident look on his face. The lights brighten slightly as he gets closer to the ring, stepping up the steps and through the middle of the ropes and in to the ring. He moves towards the center of the ring, putting his arms to either side as gold pyros spit up from the turnbuckles. J2H look to the sky before looking down and round the fan, cockiness dripping from the young man. He turns to his partner and the two begin arguing/debating.

Simone: And already these two are having a heated discussion, and from the looks of it, it's over who is going to begin the match.

Adams: Devona and J2H are just so different. if they can't even agree on this, how did they ever make it out of the first round?

J2H takes a step back, hands up in surrender and nodding.

Adams: It looks like its settled! The Bombshells get to start this one!

Seeing this, Ariana too takes her stance as Oliver steps through the ropes and onto the apron. Jacob calls for the bell...

DING DING DING!

And suddenly J2H darts past Devona and he SPEARS Oliver through the ropes and clear to the outside and both men hit the ringside floor!

Simone: What on earth...!?

Adams: I thought Devona and Ariana were going to start!

Simone: It looks like J2H decided otherwise!

Both young men are stunned on the floor, Oliver more so! J2H gets to his feet first, dragging Oliver up along with him! J2H rolls Oliver back inside and he jumps up onto the apron. He waits for Zahn to return to his feet and J2H uses the top rope to catapult himself back inside and he strikes with a springboard missile dropkick, turning Oliver head over heels! J2H pounces on him in a jackknife for the quick pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Oliver kicks out!

Simone: J2H looking to overwhelm the young Jet City graduate and get an early win!

Adams: NOBODY from Jet City is going to be overwhelmed that easily!

J2H brings him to his feet and whips Oliver hard into the far corner, running in and bringing him out with a monkey flip! J2H rolls through the move and pins Zahn down and he lets loose with rapid fire lefts and rights into his exposed face, then adds insult to injury by slapping him back and forth and mussing his hair!

Adams: And there's J2H with the mind games!

Simone: Indeed, he does have a way of getting opponents to lose their cool.

J2H stands up and he turns to his partner and takes a sweeping bow, Devona looking none too impressed.

Adams: Oo, she does not look happy that J2H jumped the gun to start the match!

J2H then brings Oliver up to his feet and sends him back into the corner and comes racing in with a high knee strike! He then takes Oliver into a side headlock and gets set for a running bulldog, but Zahn puts on the breaks and counters with a belly to back suplex, dumping the Hall of Famer on the back of his head!

Simone: Now that was an impressive counter by Oliver Zahn!

Stunned, now J2H moves to his corner to make the tag, but Devona shakes her head and looks indifferent, not accepting the tag! Oliver springboards off the ropes and wipes J2H with a high cross body!

Adams: Devona wouldn't make the tag!

Simone: She said if J2H wanted in the ring so badly, stay in it!

Oliver brings J2H to his feet and hits a spinning back fist, sending the former multi-time champion into a tailspin, falling into his own corner where this time Devona DOES tag herself in! Devona steps through the ropes and almost immediately Ariana sails over her with a lightning fast sunset flip!

ONE!

TWO!

Devona kicks out!

Adams: Ari almost ended this one fast!

Simone: Devona never would have heard the end of it!

As Devona rises to her hands and knees, Ariana comes racing off of the ropes and knocks her of balance with a dropkick! Three more times Devona tries to get to her feet and Ariana just knocks her back down with a running dropkick!

Adams: She's not letting Devona gain any ground!

Simone: A very smart tactic! She's disorienting Devona with this fast assault!

Devona finally gets up and she swings a roundhouse kick but Ari ducks the move and rolls her up from behind!

ONE!

TWO!

Devona kicks out, and turns it into a Dis-armer!

Adams: THAT came from out of nowhere!

Simone: Devona was trained by the very same people that prepared Ariana for the business! These two are going to be so dead even!

Devona has her trapped in the seated Fujiwara, and Ariana is kicking her feet and trying to find a means of escape! Jacob asks her if she wants to tap out or submit and the plucky GO Gym grad refuses! Ariana reaches for the ropes but Devona switches tactics and releases her from the hold, only to bring her up from behind in a hammerlock, but Ariana breaks this by swinging her elbow back into the side of Devona's head. Ariana then reached down and grabbed her boot and swept Devona off of her feet. Devona then planted both feet into her midsection and shoves her back into the ropes! Ariana comes off and Devona kips up into a head scissors and takes her over! Ariana staggers to her feet and Devona comes running in but Ari leapfrogs up and over her and brings her over with a back slide pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Devona kicks out!

Ariana sets her up for an Irish whip but Devona reverses it and sends her in for a dropkick -- but Ari holds onto the ropes and Devona crashes on her back and tailbone! Discretion being the better part of valor, Ariana tags Oliver back into the match!

Simone: Ariana is favoring her arm from that Dis-armer and knew she needed a little recovery time.

Adams: Let's see if Oliver can make the most of it.

Oliver doesn't waste any time and he plows right into J2H, sending him back against the ropes! Oliver knife edge chops him and buries a knee into his ribcage, but J2H plays dirty and gouges his eyes to get him off! J2H grabs him by the arm and sends him into the ropes! Oliver comes off and J2H drops to the mat, Zahn racing over him! J2H kips up and as Oliver comes off, J2H leapfrogs over him! Zahn comes off the far side and both men jump for high cross bodies and crash in midair!

Adams: Whelp! At least it wasn't a double clothesline!

Both men are winded on the mat, the air taken out of them. They struggle to breath but fight to their knees and J2H lands a hard forearm into Oliver that knocks him backward, but he rights himself and returns fire with his own shot, knocking J2H to his side! Oliver is right on him, grabbing him by the wrist and dragging him upright. Oliver then runs up the turnbuckles and uses the top rope to springboard into a back flip and throws J2H over with an arm drag and dropkick! J2H is stunned and Oliver pulls him up into a double underhook and PLANTS his head into the canvas with a DDT!

Simone: That may be it!

Adams: But he's not going for the pin!

Indeed not as Oliver quickly springs to the top of the near corner, facing the fans who rally behind him with cheers! Oliver then springs back with a picture perfect moonsault -- only for J2H to bring up his knees and Zahn lands right on them!

Adams: Ohhh! BIG mistake!!

Almost immediately J2H has Zahn in an inside cradle!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-Kick out by Oliver!!

Simone: So close! J2H almost ended this one due to that one little mistake!

J2H believes so as well as he argues with Jacob, clapping his hands to demand a faster count! J2H stands, placing a boot to Oliver's head and scrapes his face and eyes in a gesture of blatant disrespect! J2H then grabs him by the boots, steps through as if for a Scorpion, but turns him over and pulls back on his arms into the Angelito Stretch!

Adams: Oh god, look at how he has Oliver's body completely contorted!

Simone: I don't see any other option BUT for Oliver Zahn to submit!

But that is exactly what Zahn does NOT do as he refuses to give J2H the satisfaction! J2H yells at him to give up and pulls his head back by the hair, which is a mistake as now Jacob calls for the break! J2H argues against it and the referee counts...!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And J2H does break to avoid the DQ! J2H then argues with the official over his officiating when behind his back, Oliver makes it to his corner and tags out to Ariana!

Adams: Here come the Bombshells!

Simone: Had J2H just paid attention, he might have stopped the tag!

J2H realizes too late when Devona uses his back as a launching pad and she takes Ariana down with a flying body press! J2H fumes and steps outside as the women take over! Devona drags Ariana up and attempts a belly to belly suplex but Ariana fights her off and she attempts a vertical suplex but Devona shifts her weight and lands behind her! Devona grabs her around the waist from behind and runs her forward into the ropes for a roll up but Ariana holds on and throws Devona back to the mat! Ariana springs off of the ropes at her but Devona uses her legs to monkey flip her over and Ariana lands on her feet! Devona jumps up and Ariana springboards from the ropes to take her down with a clothesline!

Simone: What a beautiful display of chain wrestling by both women!

Ariana grabs her legs and rolls over her into a bridging cradle!

ONE!

TWO!

Devona shows some strength and bridges up and out of the pin, turning it around into a test of strength with their arms interlocked! Devona wins out and flips Ariana over, Ari landing on her feet in front! Ariana then jumps on her and locks her into a guillotine choke! Jacob is right there, checking to see if Devona wants out but holds on! She cradles Ariana's leg in the hold and turns it into a fisherman suplex! Devona with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Ariana gets her shoulder up!

Devona brings her up and sends her into the ropes for a back body drop but Ariana turns around into the maneuver and uses it to land on her feet behind her opponent! Devona spins around and Ariana doubles her over with a boot to the midsection and a double knee face breaker! Ariana then grabs her by the head and sets her up for a powerbomb, but as she brings her back down, Devona turns it into a Hurricanrana and hooks her legs under her arms for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Ari kicks out!

Both women jumps to their feet and Ariana attempts a discus clothesline but Devona counters with a reverse STO!

Simone: The Big Easy!

Devona covers her and hooks the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Adams: They did it! Devona and J2H advance to the Semi-Finals!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners, advancing to the Semi-Finals... Devona and J2H!!

Jacob raises the arms of the winners and then J2H confers something with the ring announcer...

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed... the winners are J2H and Devona!

J2H raises an arm to jeers and support while Devona shakes her head at him, hands on her hips.

Simone: Are you kidding me...?




GRUDGE MATCH
KRYSTAL WOLFE vs TEMPEST




We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Pussy Willow. She isn't alone as she is joined by that of Teddy Warren along with his girlfriend Michelle Chavez. Pussy smiles as she begins to speak to Teddy.

Pussy: Good evening Teddy and thank you for joining us tonight. I know that the Blast From The Past didn't go in the way that you had hoped for it to go.

Teddy Warren: To be honest it didn't. I wish I could have lasted a lot longer in this tournament but it is what it is. I will say that it felt good to be in the ring again. I had missed two years of being in this company and being able to just step into the ring put a smile on my face that I haven't had in a very long time.

Michelle Chavez: I am happy that my Teddy has his passion again. The crowd really enjoyed seeing him come down to the ring and doing what he does best. He has so much left in the tank and he is willing to do whatever it takes to really build himself up as a huge threat within this company.

Pussy nods her head as she grins in return.

Pussy: I know everybody enjoyed seeing you in the ring. Now this is a question that is on everybody's mind. Now that you are out of the tournament what is next on the plate for Teddy Warren. Where do you go from here?!

Teddy grins as he turns his attention over to Michelle before he nods his head passionately.

Teddy Warren: As far as what do I want to do now?! The answer is really simple. I want to be a full time wrestler in SCW again. The Superstars division is booming with a bunch of talent. I have that fire and desire to really do my best. Plus I am only one World Championship away from being a Grand Slam Champion in this company. I want to push ahead and really cement myself as being a legit wrestler in this company. I have all of the ability in the world. As long as I push ahead and work hard for the things I want I know I can get there. I just hope that Mark and Christian offer me that contract because I really am ready to move far in my career.

Michelle Chavez: And with me watching his back and at his side he has a whole world to conquer. See you all soon. You just need to sit back and see how everything plays out.




The scene opens backstage following the "public workout" by Krystal Wolfe, we see the Aussie competitor on her way out of the building already clearly having no intention of staying around much longer.

Pussy: Krystal!

Krystal pauses when she hears Pussy Willow's voice and when the blonde interviewer catches up with her Krystal scowls.

Krystal: What do you want?

Pussy: It's just that many feel you went too far tonight! From your argument with Gabriel and that workout where you assaulted four innocent women........

Krystal: Those idiots knew what they signed up for, I never said anything about going easy on them.

Pussy: But what about the fallout from this whole incident?

Krystal scoffs.

Krystal: Fallout from what? An argument with my trainer and making an example out of those four morons? Ask any wrestler, former of active, who runs a wrestling school and they'll tell you that arguments with their proteges are more common than you may think! What can I say? Egos can run wild in wrestling schools and they can be bruised in equal measure and it's like I said, if they didn't want to get hurt they never should've trained to be wrestlers in the first place! I'll be back for the last Climax Control of the cycle in Romania and I expect some real competition next week because otherwise? More heads are going to roll!

Krystal storms off without another word as the scene fades.




Following the last bit of action. Cameras found themselves right outside the office door of Mr. Underwood. Plain as day with the name plate plastered all across it. Leaning against the wall just outside the door was none other than GUY. He had a big wad of cash in his hands, just counting away.

Guy: Twenty, Forty, Sixty...

Mid-count the door came open. Resulting in a visibly frustrated looking Calvin walking out into the hall, closing the door behind him. Guy quickly noticed and stuffed the cash away. Approaching the Highlight of the Night.

Guy: Ya good there bucko?

Calvin Harris: Now isn't the time, Guy.

Guy: Always such a sour puss!

Guy mocked him just a little. All in good lighthearted fun of course, but the expression and general attitude of Calvin wasn't changing much.

Guy: Ya acting like they just fired ya or something. What gives?

Calvin Harris: Tonight's match was cancelled.

Guy: Cancelled?! Cancelled?!

Calvin Harris: I didn't stutter.

Guy: I'm about to give them a piece of my mind!

Guy found himself turning around and started to march right for that door Calvin came out of. However as he was marching towards it. It appeared that he wasn't going anywhere. That was all thanks to Calvin, he had grabbed a hold of the cape Guy was wearing and prevented any forward momentum. Finally, Guy realized it and spun around.

Guy: Hey!

Calvin Harris: All due respect Guy, this isn't your business or your fight. And in reality, there isn't anything that can be done. Goth was not cleared to compete tonight. Therefore the match couldn't go on.

Guy: So... that means this is the end of the road between you and woof-woof girl? Two Guys, One Cape finally begins their journey?!

Calvin Harris: No, that's not what it means. Dawn and I were informed that we would be given a bye. We're moving on in the tournament. We're in the Semi Finals, but this is personally not how I wanted to go about things. I want to fight. I want to prove myself. At the end of the day though. Someone's health comes first and when Goth is cleared to come back. Rest assured, I'm going to be the first at the front of their line to run it back.

The look on his face showed that he appeared to be serious. Sometimes in life things happen that can't be controlled and this was one of those times, but sooner rather than later hopefully there would be a chance to make it right.

Guy: Huzzah! At least you're in the semi-finals! Now we can really start to put in work. Getting closer and closer.

Calvin Harris: Here you go again with that WE stuff. I believe I told you, you had one shot at being a manager. It was tonight and tonight alone. Tonight ain't happening. So, deal is off.

Guy: That isn't fair!

Calvin Harris: And neither is selling my face on merchandise when I don't get any of the cut. But like I tell my six year old son all the time. Life was never meant to be fair, chief.

At that moment Calvin proceeded to give Guy a hard slap on the shoulder with a smirk, but before anything else could be said. Both of them found themselves being interrupted with a slightly familiar face from earlier that evening. The very security guard they had a run in with had returned and he wasn't alone. Several of his friends were in tow.

Security Guard: There they are! One is selling illegal merch and the other tried to bribe me! Grab them!

All of them started to move in on them. Now the annoyed Calvin was back, as he glared right at Guy.

Calvin Harris: Now this is the stuff that isn't fair. Always getting me caught up in your bullshit!

Guy: HUZZAH! RUUUUUUNNNN!

Just before the guards could close in on them too much. Calvin and Guy both began sprinting away, in the opposite direction of one another to keep the guards on their toes. In that moment the cameras quickly cut away from the backstage area and back to the ring to catch the next bit of action.




Simone: It's time for the Main Event! Melissa dethroned Kayla Richards for the Bombshell Internet Championship at Blaze of Glory but now she's going to have to show that she can defend it, especially when her first defence was only a success due to a technicality! It's Kayla Richards vs Melissa II!

Adams: The last time these ladies met ended in a time limit draw which resulted in the planned match between Ariana and Kayla being turned into a Triple Threat! Ariana was pinned by Melissa to win the gold and she could've lost the title to Dawn Warren if Melissa had been pinned during her first round Blast from the Past Match, this is the first we've seen of Kayla since she lost the title but you know she's eager to become a three time Bombshell Internet Champion!

Simone: This will be a great match folks! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IT IS FOR THE SCW BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP!

"I will kill your dreams."

The voice of Kayla Richards gives way to the opening guitar riff of Bad Omens "Like a Villain" The lights flash from being on and bright to dark and switching between a dark purple and red. Kayla Richards steps out onto the stage in her gear, a black leather jacket over it, her long hair flowing down as she makes her way to the ring, she runs and slides up and across the apron on one knee before getting into the ring and putting both her hands in the air, one crossed over the other to make a "K" with her fingers before they turn into a double bird and move down to a fingergun pose pointed at the crowd.

Justin: Introducing the challenger, from Norwich, East Anglia, Ending she is the "Dreamkiller" Kayla Richards!

Simone: Kayla's not getting much love from her countrymen here in Scotland!

Adams: Don't let the locals hear you say that they won't be happy having an English woman described as their countrymen!

Justin: And her opponent!

Love you to Death from Type O Negative: We hear a violin and a piano playing softly in the background before the dark voice of Peter Steele can be heard softly singing until he utters the Beast is Going to get ya yeah.... This causes flames to shoot out from the entrance ramp as Melissa walks out to the arena accompanied by CCPE's CEO Kat Jones

Justin: Coming down the ring accompanied by Kat Jones!!! Standing in at 5'9 and weighing in at 130 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Lady Goth!! Melissa!!!!

Melissa and Kat walk towards the ring, totally ignoring the crowd until they reach the middle of the ramp way. Melissa extends her arms as we hear Peter Steele sing Your wish is my command, causing Kat to take off her robe that she is wearing revealing her in ring wrestling gear. She walks towards the ring, slides underneath the bottom rope and stares at the crowd for a moment before turning her attention towards the crowd as we hear the chorus softly start to swing Let me Love you .... To death... Melissa then stands up and walks over towards her corner to stare her opponent down.

Simone: there has been a lot of drama in The Saviours camp lately, thanks in no small part to Krystal's expulsion from the group!

Adams: Hopefully for Melissa's sake she can set the drama aside and retain over Kayla!

Dawn goes over the rules with Kayla and Melissa but Kayla isn't willing to wait for the bell as she decks Melissa in the jaw prompting Dawn to call for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And our second title match of the night is underway!

Adams: You know Kayla's going to go all out to take back the title from Melissa!

Once the bell has rung Kayla gets her bell rung in return as Melissa returns fire with rapid fire punches and kicks! Kayla returns the favour and the two Bombshells have an all out brawl in the middle of the ring which he fans in Scotland eat up like there's no tomorrow, Dawn on the other hand tries to restore order to the match but only gets a reprieve when Melissa takes herself and Kayla to the outside of the ring with a clothesline.

Simone: It didn't take long for Kayla and Melissa to take the action close to us!

Adams: This could get ugly!

Kayla is the first one to get back to her feet following the tumble to the outside and takes advantage of this fact by stomping away at the champion! Seeing the announcer's desk nearby Kayla goes over to it and removes the covering before ripping out the monitors and dragging Melissa over to the table! Kayla goes to ram Melissa's head into the announcer's table but Melissa blocks it before nailing the Brit with a kick to the midsection and then laying her atop the announcer's table and returning to the ring.

Simone: Err, what does Melissa have in mind for Kayla?

Adams: More importantly, they know this isn't a No DQ Match right?

Dawn restarts her count as Melissa climbs to the top rope and steadies herself BEFORE LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND NAILING KAYLA WITH A DIVING ELBOW DROP SENDING BOTH WOMEN THROUGH THE TABLE! Dawn forgets her duties as a referee for a moment as she leaves the ring to check on the status of both Kayla and Melissa as it's not clear who took the brunt of the impact from that massive move!

Simone: OH MY GOD! Kayla and Melissa just destroyed our announcer's desk!

Adams: Good thing we won't need it after this match!

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

After a few moments it's Melissa that gets back to her feet first and, whilst ignoring Dawn chastising her for bending the rules like that, she picks up Kayla and throws her challenger back into the ring where she follows Kayla in and goes for the first pin of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Kayla gets the shoulder up!

Simone: I'm surprised Kayla kicked out there, I thought for sure Melissa was going to retain her title!

Adams: I also thought Dawn was going to be a bit harsher on Melissa for destroying our table but I guess she's willing to bend the rules a bit given what's at stake for both Bombshells!

Melissa gives Dawn a disbelieving look when she realizes that Kayla kicked out but Dawn asserts that it was a fair count and Melissa frowns before Kat tells her to focus on the match from ringside! Melissa nods before she picks up Kayla but the challenger has had enough time to recover and stuns the champion by raking Melissa's eyes forcing the champion to back off from her challenger and giving Kayla enough time to get back to her feet and execute a Running Snap Hurricanrana! Melissa retreats to the bottom rung of a nearby corner but eats a running Corner Dropkick for her troubles instead!

Simone: Now the challenger's back in control thanks to Kayla's Hurricanrana and Corner Dropkick to Melissa!

Adams: We'll see how long that lasts because Kayla's going for her first pin of the match!

Indeed! Kayla drags Melissa out of the corner and away from the ring ropes before she hooks both legs for her pin attempt!

ONE!

TWO!

And Melissa kicks out just in time! Kayla gives Dawn an annoyed look but when it becomes clear that the ref isn't budging Kayla grabs Melissa's leg and locks in a Single Leg Boston Crab getting the hold locked in tightly as she does,

Simone: Kayla has that Boston Crab locked in tight! If Melissa taps we'll have a new champion!

Adams: And after what happened to Goth earlier tonight? That's the last thing The Saviours need!

Dawn gets into position to ask Melissa if she wants to tap out to the Submission hold but Melissa refuses to give up her title that easily as she starts to make her way to the ring ropes to force a break! Kat shouts words of encouragement from the ringside area as her client manages to reach the bottom rope and force Kayla to break the submission hold! Kayla frowns before she drags Melissa back to the middle of the ring and goes to pick her up only for Melissa to surprise her with a roll-up!

ONE!

TWO!

And Kayla BARELY kicks out in time!

Simone: Melissa nearly had Kayla with that roll up!

Adams: And I doubt she would've appreciated that!

Kayla pounds the matt in frustration upon realizing how close she was to losing the title match via a roll-up but both Bombshells are slow to get back to their feet thanks to the toll that the match (and their crash through the announcer's table) has taken on them, Melissa is the first one to her feet and tries to end the match with the Shade of Black on Kayla but the challenger ducks the Roundhouse Kick and hits Kayla with the Sliced Bread #2! Kayla hooks both legs for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And it's Melissa's turn to just BARELY kick out of the pin attempt! Kayla gives Dawn a disbelieving look but when she realizes that Dawn isn't budging from her position Kayla climbs to the top rope and waits for Melissa to get back to her feet! When Melissa does Kayla leaps off the top rope with a Flying Clothesline attempt but Melissa catches her with a Spinning Heel Kick out of mid air sending Kayla crashing to the matt! But Melissa is too exhausted from the long match to capitalize and Dawn starts to apply the 10 count.

Simone: Whoever gets up first will have a huge advantage!

Adams: And given what's at stake both Kayla and Melissa will want that advantage if it means winning or retaining the title!

Dawn's count reaches seven before Melissa gets to her feet first, seeing Kayla getting to her feet slowly Melissa calls for her finisher.

Simone: Melissa's going for the Shade of Black again!

Adams: If she hits this she'll retain the title over Kayla!

Melissa goes for her finishing move but Kayla ducks it causing Melissa to spin around, sensing an opportunity to end this Kayla chop blocks Melissa before connecting with the Dreamkiller!

Simone: DREAMILLER! Kayla hits it!

Adams: Melissa is out! Stick a fork in her, she's done!

Kayla goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner and the NEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW SCW BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPION, KAYLA RICHARDS!

Simone: KAYLA HAS DONE IT! SHE IS A THREE TIME BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPION!

Adams: What does this mean for the title scene heading into the PPV?!

Kayla celebrates with her newly won title whilst Melissa is checked on by Dawn.

Simone: What a night this has been but it's time to say goodbye to Scotland and to everyone watching at home. Join us next week fr the go home show as we get ever closer to the big show! For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying goodnight everyone!
