Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
The opening shot of the show is a panning scan of the hundreds upon hundreds of wrestling fans crowded around the six-sided ring, just outside of the famed Roman Colosseum. Men and women, boys and girls, fans of all ages make up the SCW Universe and they are all showing their support for their favorite Superstars and Bombshells! Every one hungry for the kind of action only the men and women of SCW can provide! And finally, the camera focuses on a close up shot of Justin Decent, standing inside of SCW's six-sided ring.
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the 2023 World of Wonders Tour right here at the famous Roman Colosseum in Rome, Italy! Welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The fans cheer as Amanda dances her way out onto the stage, microphone in hand and dressed in a tuxedo-style top and skirt, complete with top hat and high heels.

The crowd cheers and applauds as the lights dim down on the stage.
The camera then cuts to the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams are seated with a multitude of wrestling fans behind them, smiling and waving at the cameras.
Simone: Hello everyone, and welcome to the inaugural World of Wonders Tour here at the Roman Colosseum! Over two thousand years ago, men and women gathered here to watch gladiators battle for their own amusements...
Adams: My how things have changed in two millennia!
Simone: Indeed, as now we gather to witness the first-ever edition of Climax Control in Rome, as we kick off the Road To Violent Conduct IX!
Adams: And there's no better way to kick things off than with a new Bombshell! Julianna Dimaria has signed to SCW as the newest Bombshell and she debuts against Dawn Warren in tonight's opener!
Simone: At Violent Conduct IX, we will determine the 2023 King and Queen For A Day! But as we prepare for those coronations, we must first see who qualifies in a series of matches! And we'll decide the first entrant when Georgie Robertson goes up against Zoey Lukas!
Adams: Then we find out the first Superstar to qualify to be King when the former World and Internet Champion Jack Washington faces Jaycee MacDonald!
Simone: One more Bombshell will move on to the Queen For A Day match when two former multi-time champions face off against one another when it's Seleana Zdunich against Mercedes Vargas!
Adams: The mixed tag division is back and better than ever, and tonight we see two of the top teams going against each other when Team GO takes on the Barnharts!
Simone: And to conclude the evening here in Rome in tonight's Main Event, we have championship action! Jessie Salco issued an open challenge to defend her Roulette title against the first woman to answer that challenge and it was none other than Laura Phoenix who stepped up to the plate!
Adams: That is going to be a really exciting battle between two veterans!
Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!
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.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring, the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, J2H!
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 Justin, who hands him a microphone.
J2H: If you take a shot at the king, you better not miss and I didn't fucking miss!
The crowd cheer at J2H as he looks at the SCW World Heavyweight championship.
J2H: Two weeks ago, I walked to this ring and did what I had to do, I did what you all wanted me to do and got rid of Michael Harris. I know you wanted that more then you wanted me to win the SCW World Heavyweight Championship, you wanted that man gone and so the fuck did I, but every minute of that match, every time Michael Harris beat the living hell out of me, I loved it, it made me feel alive. I had the shit kicked out of me and the respect beat in to me by Michael Harris and it was worth everything to the point I want to do it again if I had the chance.
Simone: Why would he be offering something like that?
J2H: Because you can say what you want about that sneaky son of a bitch but he's levels above any wrestler that's standing in the back right now. He was the biggest challenge in this company, because every man in the back claiming to be a wrestler, is not on his level and you're not on mine either.
J2H paces back and forth.
J2H: I mean is there even a male roster anymore? Is there even a fucking challenge anymore?
He shakes his head.
J2H: There's no one and I mean no one back there worth a damn and everyone knows it, I might as well call out Michael Harris again because no matter what you think of him, he offers more at half speed then anyone else does. Maybe I should stand here and call out legends of the sport, people like Mac Bane who has held this belt before.
People cheer for Mac's name.
J2H: Maybe I should sit here and tell Kris Ryans to dust off his gunpowder covered wrestling boots and come back for one more ride.
Adams: Now that would be something!
J2H: What about Goth? I mean he might just be the oldest man on earth at this point, but hell, who else is there to beat?
He shrugs his shoulders.
J2H: I mean I heard Jack Washington flap his gums about me this week saying he's got his eyes set on me and my championship. Jack, you might have had this belt before but no one remembers you as champion at all. Try beating someone with a slight bit of credibility before you try and step up and play with the big boys, if you can find any in the locker room.
He shakes his head.
J2H: So where do we go from here? What do I sit and do with this championship when there's no competition at all? I'm opening the fucking door, anyone from anywhere, any company, even the losers in the back there are more then welcome to come and step through the door and try and take this from me. Anyone in the world can walk through the door and try and get this from my possession. I don't give a fuck who you are, what you think you can do, the door is open for you to try. I'll take on any legend of the past, I'll take on anyone who thinks they're future legends and I will smack you around the ring harder then you thought possible. The question is which one of you losers will step up to the new king first?
He leans on the rope, looking in to the camera outside the ring.
J2H: So anyone sitting in the back, anyone sitting at home listening, the door is open, it's time to step the fuck up and that's real talk bitch!
Lights out starts to play again.
Simone: J2H has challenged the entire wrestling world!
Adams: Anyone in the back, anyone who can be considered an SCW legend, anyone in the wrestling world. This might just be a step too far, cause anyone can walk through the door!
The camera cuts elsewhere.
The camera cuts to Justin who brings the microphone to his lips after climbing into the ring.
Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...
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. She claps the hands of the roaring fans before sliding into the ring.
Justin: She is Dawn Warren!
Simone: Dawn looks ready tonight Jason.
Adams: But is she ready for the debut of her opponent? Speaking of...
Justin: And her opponent...from San Diego California, she is Julianna DiMaria
"Paranoid" hits the speakers as Julianna DiMaria appears on the stage, greeted by some boos from the fans in attendance. She ignores them and heads down to the ring with a confident, focused look on her face. Once she heads inside the ring, she cracks her knuckles, indicating she's ready to fight and afterward does the "talk to the hand" gesture toward all the fans that are booing her, displaying another touch of arrogance to get the fans against her even more.. She heads to her corner and scoffs at the reaction she's getting as the song fades and she waits for what's coming next.
Adams: Julianna DiMaria isn't liking this Roman crowd one bit. Waving them off like she could care less.
Simone: She had better care about her debut here tonight otherwise, her career here in SCW won't be long.
Justin exits the ring as Jacob motions both women to the middle of the ring.
Simone: Here we go Jason!
DING DING DING!
Both women move to the middle of the ring where Julianna smirks at Dawn who offers a hand to shake. Looking down at the offered hand, Julianna just slowly shakes her head as if she can't believe the offer then hits Dawn with a round house slap that sends her spinning into the ropes. Julianna smirks as she dusts off her hand. Dawn straightens up and turns with a glare as she begins to circle with DiMaria before locking up in a collar and elbow that neither woman can leverage until Dawn spins it into a headlock. Julianna tries to push Dawn off the hold but Warren rolls over the back of DiMaria to lock her arm into an armbar that she uses to bring Julianna to her back with an armdrag. Rolling away from her, Dawn gets to her feet and plays to the crowd to get them behind her. Julianna gets to her feet and spins Dawn by grabbing her arm and kicks her in the midsection that doubles her over. Catching her head, Julianna drops her with a swinging neckbreaker. Dropping quickly, Julianna pins Dawn's shoulders to the mat. Jacob only gets a one count as Dawn kicks out.
Adams: First pin of the night goes to the debuting Julianna DiMaria.
Dawn rolls to the side as Julianna argues with Jacob about his count. Getting to her feet, Julianna moves to catch Warren who is pulling herself to her feet at the ropes. Summers moves to admonish Julianna who waves him off. She reaches for the head of Dawn but Warren ducks under the hold and races across the ring to bounce off the opposite ropes and takes DiMaria down with a running savate kick. Julianna grabs at her face on the mat as Dawn stops herself with the ropes and turns to pick up Julianna. DiMaria grabs the back of Dawn's neck ans hits a jawbreaker that has Dawn stumbling backwards into the corner. Julianna gets to her feet and then hits a handspring elbow on Warren who sags in the corner. Jacob moves to check on Dawn as Julianna is about to grab her and pull her into the middle of the ring. Summers warns her back. Julianna moves to the opposite corner and pulls herself up to sit on the top turnbuckle where she checks on her nails as Dawn climbs to her feet and then moves towards Julianna who seems to be ignoring her. As Dawn makes it half way across the ring, DiMaria stands on the middle turnbuckle and launches herself at Warren with a diving crossbody.
Simone: Julianna trying to keep Dawn off her feet might just be a winning strategy.
Dawn rolls with the crossbody and turns it into a pin attempt on Julianna who kicks out at one. Dawn rises slowly and Julianna rolls to the ropes. Dawn follows her towards the ropes as DiMaria slides out of the ring and begins to stalk around the ring. Dawn rolls out of the ring and follows her. Julianna rolls back into the ring and then out again as Dawn follows her. Julianna taunts Dawn who slams her hands on the mat. Rolling out of the ring, Dawn charges towards Julianna who uses the ringsteps to launch at Dawn with a flying forearm smash that takes her down on the outside. Julianna rolls to her feet and then smirks at the crowd as Dawn is rolling on the floor in pain. In the ring, Jacob is making his ten count. Julianna sees him and rolls into the ring to break the count then rolls out to pick up a slowly rising Dawn and rolls her into the ring. Climbing in behind her, Dawn is rolled up in a pin attempt but manages to kick out at two.
Adams: Dawn is looking outclassed in this match because Julianna is looking to make a statement.
Simone: It may seem that way but I wouldn't discount Dawn either. She is a veteran that could easily flip the script.
Julianna gets to her feet and pulls Dawn up by the hair. Setting up Warren, Julianna hits a forward Russian legsweep to the mat. Dawn clutches at her face and kicks the canvas on her stomach. DiMaria gets to her feet and backs away as Dawn is near the corner. Standing in the corner, Dawn leans back to recover but isn't given much time as Julianna comes in with a clothesline attempt that Dawn manages to avoid with a quick lunge to the right. Julianna stops and turns only to have Warren leap on the turnbuckle to set up a victory roll that she uses to send Julianna into the middle of the ring. Keeping a hold on DiMaria, Dawn attempts a pin but Julianna reverses it at two. Dawn is quickly to her feet as is Julianna. Dawn is able to hit a step up enziguri on the rising Julianna but it sends her into the ropes. Jacob checks on Julianna as Dawn moves to grab her and whips her into the corner. Julianna uses the momentum to leap on the bottom rope and hit a springboard flying forearm smash that has both women on the mat.
Simone: Didn't I tell you Jason, Dawn making a comeback.
Julianna gets to her feet and watches as Dawn gets to her hands and knees in preparation for getting to her feet. DiMaria uses the vulnerability to hit a shining wizard on Warren that sends her to the mat. Julianna crawls across the mat and rolls Dawn over once more and makes the pin. Jacob counts two before noticing that Dawn managed to put her foot on the bottom rope. Stopping the count, Jacob taps Julianna on the shoulder. DiMaria sits up with a smirk on her face but realizes that Summers is not indicating she has won as he points out Dawn's foot on the rope. Julianna surges to her feet and then grabbing the arm of Dawn, pulls her to the middle of the ring. Turning her back to the fallen woman, Julianna leaps for a standing moonsault but Dawn pulls her knees up. Clutching her midsection, Julianna rolls to the ropes and makes it to a vertical base as Dawn is on her hands and knees recovering. Getting behind her, Julianna watches as Warren rises slowly. Catching her from behind, DiMaria locks in a full nelson on Warren and then sweeps her feet out from under her to send her to the mat with a DiMaria Code.
Adams: Julianna DiMaria can smell the blood in the water. She is about to drop the bomb on Dawn Warren.
Rolling up Dawn, Julianna goes for the pin but a desperate Warren manages to force her shoulder off the mat at the very last second. Angrily, Julianna grabs the arm and clutching it, she forces Dawn to her stomach. Julianna spins her arm into a fugiwara armbar which has Dawn screaming in pain. Jacob ducks down to check on Warren as Julianna grins evilly then arches into a bridging fugiwara armbar that forces Dawn to try and fight the pain. Warren quickly tap against the canvas for the submission. Julianna drops the hold then sitting up, she sets her elbows on her knees to gloat before rising to her feet to have Jacob raise her arm in victory when he signals for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Julianna DIMARIA!
Adams: Debut win tonight for Julianna DiMaria. Something tells me that this bombshell will be making her presence known here in SCW.
Jacob checks on Dawn who is cradling her arm against her chest as Julianna raises her arms to taunt the crowd.
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: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion JESSIE SALCO!
Simone: Jessie said she was out to break a ten-year-old curse during the lead up to Summer XXXTreme and she did exactly that when she retained the Bombshell Roulette Title over Mercedes Vargas and Laura Phoenix in the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match becoming the third ever Bombshell to do so after Krystal Wolfe and Seleana Zdunich!
Adams: And now we're in the buildup to Violent Conduct XI which is all but guaranteed to make her title defence at that show all the more violent! That's if she can get past Laura tonight because Laura answered Jessie's open challenge for a shot at the Bombshell Roulette Title last week!
Jessie poses 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, Jessie asks for a mic from a stagehand as she rests the Bombshell Roulette Title over her shoulder.
Jessie: I'm not usually one to wallow in self-pity, but I gotta admit something, years of being a one and done champion? Certain Bombshells using that fact against me in a "hah, gotcha" moment? I was questioning my self-worth for a long time, especially after the title shot ban of 2018! And yes, before anyone brings it up, I brought that shit on myself, happy?!
Jessie asks rhetorically before grinning as she looks at the Bombshell Roulette Title.
Jessie: But here I am, five years later, in a Bombshell Division that finally gives me the respect I've fucking earned over the past ten years though hard work, blood, sweat and a hell of a lot of tears, and more importantly? I've finally got the reign I've been searching for after all these years.
Jessie sys as she holds up four of her fingers with her free hand.
Jessie: Kim Pain? Done, Luna Vanity? Done, Laura Phoenix and Mercedes Vargas? Done, Laura again tonight?
Jessie chuckles as pats the Roulette Title.
Jessie: Well, I don't want to get TOO far ahead of myself but I will say this, Laura? You are one hell of a competitor and I look forward to tonight's Main Event no matter what the wheel stops on, but I'm not giving up the Bombshell Roulette Title without a fight!
Jessie says before brushing some hair over her shoulder.
Jessie: But let's look into the future for a bit, shall we? That worked so well when I defended it against Luna at the start of the last cycle after all! My goal for the Summer XXXTreme Cycle was to simply make it to the cruise as champ and retain, now I didn't think it was going to come with me literally only having one Climax Control match that whole cycle but that's how it happened, but what are my goals for this cycle?
Jessie shakes her head with a grin.
Jessie: Part one of that goal is only a couple of weeks way, so if nothing else I don't have to wait nearly as long to achieve it! But what is that goal? Make it to a hundred days as champion, something that up until this point I never achieved, not as a solo wrestler, not as part of the Metal and Punk Connection with Amy, none of that! By my math, I've got to wait two more weeks before I hit that goal, more specifically? On the 25th of July, but there is one burning question that's been on my mind lately, and it relates to this.
Jessie swaps hands, moving the mic to her non-dominant hand, and holds up the other hand for the camera making sure that the Hall of Fame ring is as clear as day.
Jessie: I'm a Hall of Famer, many would consider that to be the pinnacle of their career! The moment when they can officially hang up the wrestling boots for good, and it's funny because I was considering doing just that, contemplating retirement, we all know what happened instead because for one thing, I'm still an active wrestler but what have I got left to prove as a wrestler? The one title I've never won is the World Bombshell Title and at this point, if you don't know my history with that thing then you must be new to the product! But even that's been taken over by a younger generation of Bombshell, all thanks to Courtney Pierce.
Jessie shakes her head as she leans against the ropes.
Jessie: Maybe I will set my sights that high again someday but for now? I'm enjoying this whilst it lasts, because whilst the other divisions are being ruled by youngsters like Eiley, Kayla Richards and Courtney Pierce, the Bombshell Roulette Division has practically become the division where the old guard prove that they can still go in the ring! Mee and Laura will get a chance to prove that all over again in the Main Event and whilst I haven't decided yet if I'll do another open challenge in the weeks that follow, one thing is clear, no matter what happens I will make it to Violent Conduct as the Bombshell Roulette Champion and whoever gets in my way will be struck by Blood Lightning!
Jessie drops the mic and leaves the ring before heading to the back.
Simone: Strong words from someone who's currently the oldest Bombshell Champion in SCW!
Adams: I'd say she's earned the right to be that confident!
As Jessie reaches the top of the ramp she holds the Bombshell Roulette Title high above her head mouthing "bring me you best Bombshells, I'll be waiting" before heading to the back.
Following her victory against Dawn Warren earlier in the night, Julianna DiMaria is seen walking backstage. She looks like she may be able to go into another match on this night, but more or less, she is satisfied with the win that she was just able to get. She just wants to focus on her victory when Ms. Rocky Mountains comes up to her and cuts off her path. Julianna looks quite confused at the presence of the interviewer.
Julianna DiMaria: Excuse me... I'm trying to get to the locker room.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You don't have time for a quick interview?
Julianna narrows her eyes with skepticism.
Julianna DiMaria: I'm sorry, who are you?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Miss Rocky Mountains and I know that you are Julianna DiMaria, the new girl around here who just came into this company and defeated Dawn Warren.
Julianna DiMaria: Wait, am I being punked? That's really your name?
The interviewer nods.
Julianna DiMaria: Okay, quit fucking around. What is your REAL name? Because... Miss Rocky Mountains... COME ON. SERIOUSLY!?!??
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I'm the one asking the questions around here, dear.
Julianna lets out an annoyed and angry sigh.
Julianna DiMaria: I swear I am being punked. Okay, you want to know WHAT exactly? Wait, I know how predictable these questions can be. How am I feeling after beating the Blast from the Past runner up in my first match here? If you were to ask me that question last year, or the year before that... or hell... even the year before that, I would be bragging and boasting and I would make a big huge deal out of it. Not that it's NOT a big deal it's just... Dawn Warren. If you heard what I had to say about her before I wrestled this match tonight, you already know. It's a hell of a first step though regardless of how I feel about her.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: That's good, but I really wanted to know what exactly your plans are for being here. Surely, even with how you may feel about Dawn Warren, you can't take away the fact that you did just beat a Blast from the Past runner up and regardless of gender, there are not many people who can say that they've done that in their SCW debut.
Julianna DiMaria: I wouldn't be shocked if I was the first to do that because that's how damn good I've always been. But, you want to know about my plans, right? Are you freaking kidding me? You think I'm going to be such an easy, open book that I am going to lay out my plans for the entire world to hear? PFFFT! YEAH RIGHT! I'll tell you one thing though, I am planning on changing the game. I don't give a shit about the tradition of the Bombshells division. I could give fuck all about those that "paved the way" for me to be here. I don't care about your so called legends from a decade ago. I don't care about those that were big names in 2016 that are still trying to stay relevant no matter how many times they've failed or how long it has been since they've actually won something.There is only ONE name in this division that I care about and that's mine. I'll be holding gold around here for too long. The only thing that I would change about my debut is that it would be against someone different and...
Ms. Rocky Mountains: That's a bit disrespectful to Dawn Warren, don't you think?
Julianna DiMaria: Says the person that just cut me off before I could finish my sentence! The only reason why I say that is for a reason that has nothing to do with Dawn Warren, actually. What I meant was, before you RUDELY cut me off by the way, is that I would've gone for the open challenge but Jessie Salco was FORTUNATE that Fossil Phoenix got to it first otherwise, you just might be talking to a Bombshell that won a title in her very first match here. Now wouldn't THAT have been historic? But that's fine. Kicking that dog around will have to do for now. But trust me... I'm just getting started.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Is there anyone that...
Julianna DiMaria: NOPE! You're done asking questions. Thank you! Goodbye! Arrivederci!
Julianna forcefully brushes by Ms. Rocky Mountains leaving the interviewer quite displeased with her attitude as the interview fades to black.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and our first Queen for a Day Qualifier! Georgie Robertson scored what many would call an upset win over Ariana Angelos at Summer XXXTreme but tonight she faces a bigger challenge, quite literally, as she goes one on one with Zoey Lukas!
Adams: We haven't seen Zoey since she lost her World Bombshell Title Qualifier to Ariana before Into the Void but the powerhouse will be out to get back on in this match! It's a Davida vs. Goliath encounter here and I'm not sure who's going to win!
Simone: Should be a good one! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a Queen for a Day Qualifier Match!
The throbbing beat of Adam Lambert's For your entertainment fills the venue. A body can be seen in shadow as the fans turn towards the entrance. A strobing light flashes behind the body that turns slowly as a spotlight slowly lights up the ramp area and kills the strobe to reveal a brunette in a black leather jacket over black tights and staring down into the ring, a slow smirk beginning to cross her lips. Heading to the ring, she stops at the ring stairs and then moves slowly up to the apron and into the ring where she moves towards a corner and leans back against the turnbuckles with one foot on the bottom rope.
Justin: Introducing first, from South London, she is Georgie Robertson.
The smirk returns as she looks at the camera and snaps off a contemptuous salute before pulling off the jacket to reveal a dark halter with silver buckles on it. She turns and once more leans into the corner to await the bell.
Simone: Georgie has had quite the year, one that started with a shock win over Roxi Johnson!
Adams: She hasn't been able to capitalize on that momentum since then though, maybe that'll change tonight?
Justin: And her opponent!
"Dancing with the dead" by crown the empire hits and a green spotlight hits the stage. Zoey comes out and stands in the middle of it with a small smile on her face. She throws her hands across her chest in an X with her hands up in the metal horns. She makes her way down to the ring looking at the fans with a small smirk shaking her head before running and jumping onto the apron sliding across her knee, she pops up and does the X again before getting into the ring.
Justin: From Atlanta, Georgia, ZOEY LUKAS!
Simone: Zoey and Georgie debuted around the same time last year, literally a month apart from each other, and their paths have been very similar!
Adams: But I have to give the edge to Zoey! Georgie's been a relentless competitor since day one but Zoey's power is tough for anyone to overcome!
Georgie doesn't back down from Zoey despite the height difference as Dawn goes over the rules with them, as soon as Dawn calls for the bell Georgie fires off the first shot catching Zoey square in the jaw.
DING, DING, DING!
Simone: And Georgie may have just made Zoey angry!
Adams: MAY HAVE?!
The force of the punch sends Zoey reeling a bit as she turns her head to the side, a small smirk appearing on her face before she fires back at Georgie with another punch and the two Bombshells start trading blows in the middle of the ring, obviously Zoey's height and weight gives her a huge advantage over Georgie (who isn't exactly a small woman herself) but the Brit uses her speed and tenacity to keep Zoey from gaining any significant advantage eventually. Taking down the bigger Bombshell with a Reverse Slingblade! Georgie goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Zoey POWERS out of the pin!
Simone: Georgie's inexperience showed itself here, she didn't wear down Zoey nearly enough!
Adams: Not going to pin a Bombshell as powerful as Zoey after one move this early in the match!
Georgie is clearly frustrated that her pin didn't have the desired effect on Zoey but the Brit doesn't let up, leaping to the middle rope and going for a Flatliner as soon as Zoey is back on her feet! Sadly for Georgie, instead of leaping into the Flatliner, she leaps right into a spear from Zoey that drills her right into the mat! Zoey grins before picking up Georgie but the Brit hits her with a jawbreaker sending her stumbling back towards the ring ropes! Georgie tries to keep up the offensive but GETS LAUNCHED OUT OF THE RING BY A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX FROM ZOEY!
Simone: My god, the height on Zoey's throw!
Adams: Georgie probably saw Venice from that height!
Dawn immediately leaves the ring to check on Zoey once she hits the floor on the outside telling Zoey to remain in the ring until she can assess Georgie! But despite the rough landing, Georgie is still getting back to her feet and insists that she can continue! Seeing this, Zoey pulls Georgie onto the ring apron by her hair before hitting another Belly-to-Belly Suplex, this time bringing Georgie back into the ring! Zoey immediately goes for the pin as Dawn slides back into the ring!
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie gets the shoulder up! Zoey hakes her head before picking up Georgie and going for a third Belly to Belly Suplex but Georgie fights out of the grip with some rights and lefts before locking the stunned Zoey in an Octopus Hold!
Simone: We've seen Georgie use tat Octopus Hold before and too great effect!
Adams: Never on someone as big and powerful as Zoey though!
Indeed, Zoey's strength allows her to move around even with Georgie (literally) on her back but the Brit keeps the hold locked in tight and it looks like Zoey's about to fade, at least until Zoey gets a second wind and starts fighting off Georgie's hold eventually flinging the British Bombshell off her back! But the Octopus Hold clearly had an effect on Zoey as she is stumbling around which allows Georgie to hit her with a Running Bulldog! Georgie goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Zoey gets the shoulder up but not with the same power she exhibited earlier!
Simone: I think Georgie's Octopus Hold had a stronger effect on Zoey than we realized because she didn't kick out with the same power as she did in Georgie's first pin attempt!
Adams: And I think Georgie's realized it too!
Georgie has a grin on her face before she takes Zoey down with a Front Chancery before switching over and locking in a Single Leg Boston Crab! Dawn gets into position to ask Zoey if she wants to tap but Zoey refuses before she manages to reverse the hold by kicking Georgie into the ropes, on the rebound Zoey catches her with a German Suplex which Zoey bridges for a pin attempt, but Dawn is out of position at first making her slow to get to the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie gets the shoulder up!
Simone: I wonder if Zoey would've won there if Dawn had been a bit quicker? Georgie was hit hard by that German Suplex!
Adams: And every other move by Zoey for that matter!
Georgie gets to her feet first and leaps to the top rope before trying for a Moonsault Press, Zoey catches her in mid air though but Georgie manages to reverse that into a Tornado DDT! The long match has taken a lot out of them though and neither woman is in a position to capitalize prompting Dawn to start her ten count, by the count of seven Georgie is starting to stir and she goes for the pin on Zoey!
ONE!
TWO!
And Zoey kicks out! Georgie argues with Dawn as Zoey retreats to the corner but seeing this Georgie realizes that Zoey is in a perfect position for her finisher!
Simone: Georgie's looking to book her slot in the Queen for a Day Match with the One and Done!
Adams: Zoey seems to be out of it, can she do it!
Georgie takes a bit too long hyping up the move though because when she charges in for the move Zoey explodes out of the corner and sends Georgie into a flip with her Running Big Boot!
Simone: And just like that, Georgie is Picking up Teeth!
Adams: And I don't think Zoey's done!
Zoey grins, knowing that the match is hers but as a final message to the other Queen for a Day participants she holds her thumb up high before swiftly turning it downwards and yanking Georgie up for the Amazon Bomb!
Simone: And the Amazon Bomb to seal the deal for Zoey!
Adams: As tenacious as she is, there's no way Georgie's getting up from that! Stick a fork in her, she's done!
Zoey goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and the first Bombshell to qualify for the Queen for a Day Match, ZOEY LUKAS!
Simone: Zoey books her spot in Queen for a Day in impressive fashion but Georgie gave it her all as usual!
Adams: If I were Mercedes, Seleana and whoever's competing for a slot next week? I'd be worried!
Zoey celebrates her win as Dawn checks on Zoey.
Justin: At this time we will be joined by Sin City's NEWW MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!
All the lights in the coliseum go out as the opening whistles of the Limitless theme ring through the PA system. Through the build up of the song the stage flashes with a mix of purple, and teal lights. Eiley makes her way out onto the stage through the left curtain, one hand on her hip and the other is held out, brushing off the negative reaction of those in attendance. Simultaneously, OZ comes through the right curtain.
Justin: Coming down to the ring, Eiley and OZ, they are LIMITLESS!
Both of them stop at the center of the stage, Eiley putting her back to OZ before leaning back into him and giving a small smirk to the camera. The cameras move up the ramp, rotating around behind the duo to see the word "LIMITLESS" across the back of OZ's jacket. They make their way down the ramp, mostly ignoring everyone reaching out to them, and talking back and forth to one another. Once they reach the bottom of the ramp OZ takes a running start and launches his championship over the rope and into the ring before sliding under the bottom rope. He scoops up the championship on the roll, and has it back on his shoulder by the time he pops back up to his feet. Eiley, on the other hand, jogs up the ringside stairs before strutting two steps onto the apron. OZ pops up to his feet and comes to the ropes near Eiley, sitting down on the middle rope to lower it. The fans boo as Eiley shakes her head. Instead, she backtracks to the turnbuckles and climbs them from the apron. OZ hops up from the ropes and sprints across the ring. He leaps up onto the middle rope of the far corner and he and Eiley each raise their Mixed Tag Team Championship belt in unison.
Simone: Well these two certainly aren't lacking confidence after their big win at Summer XXXtreme.
Adams: Nor should they be. Look at the teams they beat! The only thing they all agreed on was not giving Eiley and Oz a chance. They won the titles anyways.
Simone: You're right, by the skin of their teeth they were barely able to steal the victory from Austin and Tempest.
The music is cut and the two new champions lower their championships down onto their shoulders. Eiley steps over the top rope and sits down on the top turnbuckle while hugging the championship belt to her chest. OZ, smiles at her from across the ring and turns away from the crowd to sit down on the turnbuckle opposite her before doing the same thing. Each of them is handed a microphone from one of the members of the ring crew while they soak in the mixed reaction from the fans. The negativity finally wins out when the crowd unifies behind a "Don't Deserve It" chant that makes both Eiley and OZ break out into laughter.
OZ: Yeah, well we won them anyways, so everyone needs to get used to us having them, ya know?
His casual dismissal of the chant once again unifies the crowd, this time with the most ferocious boos that the duo has ever received from an audience. The reaction seems to surprise even the two in the ring.
Eiley: But by looking at the likes of this crowd and our co-workers in the back, it's very unlikely that they will ever get used to us having them.
She smirks a bit and adjusts the championship on her shoulder as she looks around the crowd at The Colosseum before settling her eyes on Oz.
Eiley: And if I was a betting girl, I'd put money on people already placing bets on Ben Jordan and Sam Marlowe beating us at the next supercard.
The crowd cheers at the mention of the number one contenders. Both Eiley and Oz look unimpressed from their perches in the ring. Oz shakes his head in disappointment at the crowd, while Eiley simply shrugs her shoulders.
OZ: Oh shut up! You like them because you're all supposed to like them. Nothing more. Nothing less.
That only intensifies the boos from the crowd, and inspires a new "Not Our Champs" chant that gains major steam and makes it so that the noise from the crowd nearly deafens Eiley's voice coming through the microphone.
Eiley: It's only fitting that we are openly compared to Mikah and Kris as everybody doubted them too. We will just have to prove that we're better.
The words put a dent in the heat coming from the crowd, as the mention of the Hall of Famers of Reckless Elite breaks off pockets of the crowd into cheers. The insinuation that the two young champions would eventually grow to eclipse those two cuts further into the boos as people can be heard audibly laughing at the thought. This seems to rub Oz the wrong way, and he hops down from his perch atop the turnbuckle, and moves more towards the center of the ring with his eyes on a particularly vocal section of the crowd.
OZ: You can hate us. You can say we didn't earn these championships even though we went through basically every other team to get them. I mean sure, there are a handful of them in the back that weren't part of our match at Summer XXXtreme, but that is mostly because they sucked too much to even qualify.
The shift in his tone seems to shock the fans into dropping the chants, and even the underlying boos seem to die down as fans listen to what Oz actually has to say.
OZ: Our number one contenders, Ben and Sam, for as much as you guys love them, all they have done is beat a team that any of the teams we have already beaten could have walked all over. They won a consolation prize in the loser's bracket at Summer XXXtreme. Eiley and I took home the real trophies, ya know?
Eiley hops down off of her turnbuckle and crosses the ring over to where OZ stands in the center. The two young stars raise their championships simultaneously, and reignite the negative backlash from the crowd.
Eiley: The fact of the matter is, Benny and Sammy couldn't get it done in the qualifying rounds and all of you are acting as if they deserve to be the champions, when they weren't even involved in the match two weeks ago.
Eiley just rolls her eyes, a semi-confident look in her eyes.
Eiley: Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes, if you ask me.
She smirks a bit, not minding the negative reaction of the crowd.
Eiley: I don't think we will mind proving everybody wrong, it's not like it's going to be too hard. We already beat three other teams that everybody said we didn't have a chance in beating. Every single person in those teams said that we didn't have what it takes or didn't even act as if we were a threat in that match.
Eiley chuckles a little to herself and shakes her head.
Eiley: And what's the point in whining about Benny and Sammy not getting their opportunity two weeks ago? They'll get their chance to once again show their limits at Violent Conduct.
She gives a look over to Oz, who smiles.
OZ: ....limits. They all have them. Austin and Tempest with their tempers. Kim and Peter's hubris. Luna and Alexander mistakenly thought that they mattered. The Barnharts lack the skill. And everyone's beloved Reckless Elite couldn't ever be trusted to show up when they got bored.
The fans seem to hate him more and more with each word that comes out of his mouth, but taking a shot at their mentors, and arguably the most accomplished Mixed Tag Team in Sin City history is a step too far. They cut him off with boos, which only widens the smile on his face.
OZ: See, nobody was willing to give us ANY of the credit that all of those other teams get. We're too young. We're not experienced. We haven't paid any dues. We're too cocky. You name it, they have said it about us, and yet we are still here, and we are the NEW Mixed Tag Team Champions!
The duo seem at home basking in the negativity being thrown at them by the crowd.
OZ: ...because the truth is you have all seen the level we are starting on and as far as our potential goes, how much better we are going to get along the way, and where we can take these championships the possibilities for Eiley and I are... Limitless.
Their new theme once again blasts through the PA system, and after a few moments, we cut to elsewhere in The Colosseum.
Unbreakable plays as the crowd cheers like mad. Keira is seen coming out, slapping a few of the fans hands as she makes her way to the ring. She enters it through the ropes and blows a kiss. As the crowd cheers, Keira grabs a mic and smiles a bit. She lets the crowd die down a bit as she says
Keira: It's good to see you guys as well. Not going to lie, I thought I wasn't going to be standing here tonight. Didn't have a match, which was fine with me. Honestly? I thought after the tag match, Krystal would have learned her lesson. Sadly, no.
The crowd boos at this. Keira continues to speak
Keira: Sadly, Krystal proved herself to be the opposite of the things she says. She is nothing more than a gutless coward. But I made a promise to myself before the match. I promised that I would make sure Ruby Steele would not get hurt by Krystal's wrath. Sure, I pinned Ruby, but I kept my promise. Which...is why I'm out here.
Keira takes a deep breath before she says
Keira: Courtney, I know you're back there and I know we talked back and forth on Twitter. But if you mean all of this. Then if you can, please. Come out to this ring and let's talk...like true Warriors.
The opening sirens of "Problem" floods the PA system as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the beat kicks in, energizing the small but vocal audience. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T. The Bombshell Champion appears on the stage with a smile on her face. She doesn't look dressed to compete, and has the Bombshell Championship proudly displayed around her waist. Court wastes no time heading down the center of the aisle. She avoids the fans and keeps her focus on Keira down in the ring. She is handed a microphone as she ascends the ring steps, and starts addressing the crowd as she steps between the ropes and into the ring.
Court: Maybe it is a little outside of my normal way of operating around here...
She steps across the ring to be positioned face to face with Keira at the center.
Court: ...but I meant what I said on social media. I appreciate the fact that Ruby walked away from the match unscathed even though her partner basically set her up for failure.
Court offers a smile, and reaches around to her lower back with one hand to unsnap the championship belt from around her waist.
Court: I don't make the rules. I don't book the matches, but I do feel like I have something of a say as the Bombshell Champion. You did me a solid. Sure, you still pinned Ruby. But we both know that could have been a lot worse.
Court takes the championship off of her waist and holds it in her hand in between the two of them.
Court: ...and even without all that, we all know what you have done in Sin City. Everyone knows how big of an influence Team Hero has had in the locker room.
She raises the championship up, with the centerplate level with Keira's eyeline.
Court: I'd be more than happy to put my championship on the line against you, and I don't think there's a single fan of SCW that wouldn't like to see it happen.
Keira gives a huge sigh on this. She looks at the crowd, cheering like mad over this. She places the mic back to her mouth, saying
Keira: First off, I know how much Ruby means to you. You and I are torn from the same fabric. Despite how you feel, I know you would do the same thing if it had happen to Roxi. But like Roxi, I echo her words, despite what I wanted a month and a half ago when Jessie brought me back down to reality.
Keira looks at the crowd again, before looking back at Court, saying
Keira: I won't lie. I do want this fight with you. But for the title? That's where I'm in the middle. But at the same time, denying the fans of this would be an insult to both of us. Plus...
Keira gives a tiny smirk, saying
Keira: I seriously doubt you would take no for an answer when it comes to defending your title against me.
Court nods, and lowers the championship belt down onto her shoulders.
Court: If I am going to be in the ring, it may as well be defending what I have. If I am going to have a match against one of the greats in the history of this company, we should do it with something on the line.
She crosses her arms across her chest, almost hugging the championship as close to herself as possible.
Court: I have wanted to be in this position for so long. I have waited for this opportunity. As champion, I want anyone and everyone to step up to try and take it from me. You just gave me the right motivation to push you up to the front of the line.
She shrugs.
Court: It feels like too much fun to pass up.
Keira gives a chuckle over this. Court was right on this. She smiles and says to her.
Keira: Before I give you my answer. Remember this, but I think you already know what I'm going to say. I didn't make a promise to save Ruby for a title match or any kind of match with you, Court. I did it cause like I said, I didn't want Krystal to hurt her one bit. Yes, I wanted to fight you for so long. But I wanted to wait til the time was right.
Keira smirks at this, saying
Keira: But I guess we both knew it would be now. So you know what? Fine. I accept. It's up to them, but they knew they would be passing up big money if they say no. But to make sure we're both ready, 100 percent. If it's accepted, I want this at Climax Control, two weeks from now. So there's no doubt one bit. You want this, Court? You got it!
Court appears to be in agreement. Although she looks around with a frown.
Court: Almost would have been cooler to have two warriors like us fighting it out in The Coliseum.
The crowd explodes into cheers at the thought but quickly descends into disappointment that it clearly wasn't meant to happen tonight.
Court: Two weeks gives Mark and Christian plenty of time to think it over. They'll make the right choice.
Court extends her hand and Keira doesn't hesitate to shake it. When they break from one another Court raises the Bombshell Championship in the air before backing out of the ring while her music once again blasts through the PA system.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... is a King For the Day qualifier match... introducing first...
The first beats of "POWER" by Kanye West plays through the PA. With each beat, red lights flash from the top of the stage, bouncing around the arena before finally focusing on the area of the stage between the curtains. Jaycee steps out onto the stage in his black boxing trunks. His hands are taped and down at his sides. Cheers fill the arena. The camera focuses on Jaycee and catches a wide smile grow on his face as he starts to move down the ramp.
Justin: Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, Jaycee MacDonald!
As he gets to the end of the ramp and hops up on the apron of the ring. Jaycee turns his back to the ring before wrapping his arms around the top rope and bouncing his feet on the bottom rope, flipping backwards over the top rope and into the ring. He takes a few steps towards the center of the ring and waits for his opponent to join him in the ring.
Justin: and his opponent... hailing from Philadelphia, PA... Jack Washington...
"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.
The ref moves in and check both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Washington and MacDonald circle the ring before moving in and locking up in the centre of the ring, where they briefly jockey for position until Washington breaks and locks in a headlock on MacDonald, where he briefly cranks on his head, until MacDonald pushes Washington the ropes and up against them, where he attempts to push Washington away, but Washington expects it and blocks it and keeps the headlock in place. MacDonald tries again as he pushes Washington towards the ropes and up against them but again Washington blocks and holds on tight to MacDonalds head, who drops to a knee.
Simone: MacDonald attempts to get the upper hand early on, but Washington is ready for it and gets MacDonald into a headlock as MacDonald tries to escape the move with a few attempts, but Washington has it scouted and stops any advancement.
Washington cranks on MacDonalds head a few times as MacDonald bides his time before slowly adjusting his arms as he grabs at Washington's hands before grabbing him by the waist and drives him backwards to the ropes once again, this time succeeding in pushing Washington away, who bounces off the ropes opposite and as he comes back, he catches MacDonald with a shoulder block down to the mat.
Adams: After several attempts he breaks free but is quickly met with a shoulder block.
Washington looks down at MacDonald for a moment as he smirk, as MacDonald holds his head, as he shuffles away from Washington he moves to the ropes and grabs them pulls himself up with still keeping an eye on Washington. MacDonald moves to the corner to take a moment before moving in and almost catches Washington off guard as he locks up with Washington. MacDonald quickly breaks and grabs Washington into a headlock, but Washington pushes him back against the ropes and then pushes him away.
Simone: MacDonald is rocked as he moves away from Washington and into a corner. He takes a moment before moving in and he and Washington lock up briefly before MacDonald breaks and locks in a headlock of his own, but Washington is ready for it.
Washington drops himself flat to the mat, as MacDonald hits the ropes and leaps over Washington before turning, as Washington gets to his feet and charges at MacDonald but Macdonald shoulder barges Washington down to the mat. Washington stays down as MacDonald looks down at Washington and smirks before slowly approaching as Washington moves to the ropes and grabs them and pushes himself to his feet. MacDonald goes to grab him but Washington stomps on Macdonald's foot and as he reels from that Washington clubs him on the side of the head, which Macdonald stumbles away before dropping to the mat as Washington goes after him.
Adams: Washington drops to the mat and MacDonald leaps over him. He turns and Washington gets back to his feet and charges at MacDonald, but MacDonald is ready and sends Washington down to the mat.
Simone: MacDonald takes a moment, before moving in and goes to grab Washington but Washington surprises MacDonald with a stomp on the foot before clubbing him and MacDonald moves away but Washington follows.
Macdonald ends up against the ropes and draped over the middle ropes before Washington places a leg on the back of MacDonald's head and chokes as the ref moves in and quickly count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Simone: Illegal choke from Washington.
The ref pulls on Washington's arm a little before he backs away, as MacDonald slowly moves off the ropes, but Washington is back on him and grabs MacDonald drags him to the corner, where he drives his head into the top turnbuckle. MacDonald turns and leans against the ropes and Washington moves in and begins to stomp on him over and over and over with MacDonald sinking lower and lower in the corner. The ref shouts at him to stop and back off but Washington continues before backing away. MacDonald sits up and holds his chest as Washington approaches once more and grabs him and pulls him up and drags him to the corner as he looks to repeat the process, but MacDonalds grabs Washington and swaps places and begins to punch him and then follows up with kicks and does the same thing as Washington before the referee moves in and pulls MacDonald away.
Adams: This match is going be certainly scrappy. Neither want the upper hand. As we see the ref intervene and pull Washington back a little. But it doesn't give MacDonald enough time as Washington and grabs him and pushes him into the ropes and proceeds to stomp him over and over.
Simone: Washington backs away for a moment, but it allows MacDonald to get a look in and returns the favour with punches and kicks before the ref intervenes and pulls him away.
Washington stays down for a few moments, before slowly standing to his feet, as Macdonald moves in and grabs Washington and pulls him up. Washington gives him a shove away, but it doesn't put MacDonald off and rushes in but Washington scoops MacDonald up and over the ropes to the apron outside. MacDonald is the first to blink and grabs Washington's head and leaps off the apron and delivers a whip lash effect move. Washington drops and rolls away holding his neck, as MacDonald climbs onto the apron and then grabs the top ropes and leaps up and over with and catches Washington with an elbow drop to his back.

MacDonald squats down, as Washington grimaces in pain as he tries to reach out for the ropes with little success. The ref moves in and ask Washington, but Washington shakes his head, before pushing himself up with his arms and drags him and MacDonald towards the ropes and manages to grab the bottom rope, just as MacDonald goes to pull him back to the centre of the ring. The ref moves in and informs MacDonald that Washington has the got the ropes and MacDonald reluctantly releases and moves forward as Washington pulls himself close to the ropes and rests there for a moment.

MacDonald approaches Washington but the ref keeps him back, as Washington sits up and MacDonald rushes in and looks for a shining wizard, but Washington quickly rolls away, and MacDonald ends up against the ropes. Washington fires in a hard punch on MacDonald's thigh, as he grimaces in pain and Washington hits another and MacDonald backs away. Washington turns on his hands and knees and goes to crawl away and MacDonald smirks before moving in and he grabs one of Washington's feet and goes to lock in the "WIO" -- Ankle Lock with Leg Grapevine, but Washing quickly pushes himself up and kicks out with his free foot and catches MacDonald and forces him to let go.

The scene opens backstage at the Colosseum were we see Ariana Angelos standing in front of her white board which is being held up by her husband Francisco.
Ariana: Okay, let's get the obvious out of the way class, the Summer XXXTreme Cycle was one of the worst periods of my professional wrestling career!
Ariana sighs as she points to the picture of her lying defeated on the matt at Summer XXXTreme.
Ariana: Heck, pretty much the only thing that went right is that I got married to Francisco!
Ariana adds as she holds up her hand with the wedding ring on it, the camera zooms in on her ring finger for emphasis and as it zooms out we see Francisco giving the camera a thumbs up with his free hand and a big grin on the Brazilian man's face.
Ariana: But tonight is about one thing for me and that's redemption! Me and Carter are teaming up to take on The Barnharts in Mixed Tag Team Action and whilst Bea and Bill have a lot more experience than either me or Carter, we're not going to back down from a duo who, for all their experience, have the luck of a dog being taken to the vet to be neutered when it comes to winning titles!
Francisco: Babe, that made no sense.
Ariana: I know, I didn't have time to think of anything better! Anyway, there is one other thing I want to discuss, this show marks the start of the Violent Conduct cycle, tell me class, what happened to me during the last Violent Conduct cycle? The one that toured through India?
Ariana doesn't wait for a response, instead pointing her pointer to a picture of her after she won the Bombshell Roulette Title at last year's Violent Conduct Cycle.
Ariana: That moment was bittersweet for me and Carter and I don't want to get into the details as to why that is a fact, frankly? I'd rather pretend that the off camera stuff never happed and that I was completely happy during my first ever singles title reign but sadly, reality doesn't work that way!
Ariana lets out a deep breath before resting the pointer over her shoulder.
Ariana: I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want something similar to happen during this year's Violent Conduct Cycle, but I know I have a long road ahead of me to get there! For one thing? I need to start winning matches again and tonight? The Barnharts will bask in the Greek Angel's Light as I start on my road to redemption!
Ariana walks off with Francisco and the board as the scene fades.
We fade in on Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas just outside the famed The Colosseum, the venue of tonight's Climax Control. A nameplate graphic appears on the screen to identify her to fans watching at home.
Mercedes: Summer XXXTreme has come and gone. I was looking forward to making history that night. As it turned out though, the story didn't end so much as go into a new chapter.
Mercedes raises an index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.
Mercedes: My dreams of gold are put on hold, but my journey continues. Past my prime, maybe. Still got it? I never lost it. See, because, at the end of the day, there's two things Jessie can never take from me: I'm still going to be a contender for whatever title my heart desires and I have the pride of always being the most decorated wrestler of the women's division and all of Sin City Wrestling.
Mercedes pauses as she feels the weight of people staring at her now and again while passing by. She simply ignores it, continues getting her message across.
Mercedes: Although Jessie fluked her way through another defense at Summer XXXTreme, and it does somewhat feel like a missed opportunity for a memorable moment in my case, it's okay that I didn't win the Ultimate X Over the Pool. Great things come to those who wait, right? I think that rise is just getting started.
She shoved her hair back away from her face.
Mercedes: As far as tonight goes: Queen for a Day qualifier, Seleana Zdunich versus yours truly. Now I have to admit, Seleana wouldn't have been my first choice of opponents to face after a supercard. But be that as it may, here we are. Seleana has been a dumpster fire this year, so it brings me great joy that I get to add to her misery by kicking her ass one more time. Seems like a great way to spend a Sunday night.
She smiles, but the expression fades as she narrows her eyes and a serious again, a determined stance in her voice, a redemptive fire in her eyes.
Mercedes: So, Seleana, when we stand in that ring, and you try to fill yourself with that false confidence and convince yourself and these people just how big and bad The Cat really is, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. If you think the year you're having is bad now, it will be THAT much worse than you could EVER imagine tonight, mamita.
She maintains her untamed spirit.
Mercedes: You're not in my league, but you will be in my rear view mirror.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and the second Queen for a Day qualifier of the night! There was a mad dash when Jessie Salco announced an open challenge for a shot at her title and whilst Laura Phoenix came out on top, Seleana Zdunich came second and gets quite the consolation prize as she goes one on one with her old foe Mercedes Vargas!
Adams: Seleana and Mercedes have been in each other's hair for as long as Seleana's been in SCW but whilst there is their latest chapter, they can't lose sight of the prize that's at stake!
Simone: This should be a great match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a Queen for a Day Qualifier Match!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on.
Justin: Introducing first, from Halmstad, Sweden "The Cat" Seleana Zdunich!
Simone: We didn't emphasise this enough but Laura beat Seleana to the punch in a matter of literal minutes! Which is why Alexandra Callaway didn't get the same consideration when she threw her name into the hat after the match had been made official!
Adams: But if she wins Queen for a Day, she could use that power to book herself a title match against Jessie, Kayla or even Courtney! Heck, even Eiley if she can find a partner willing to team with her! But she has to get past one of the oldest active wrestlers in the Bombshell Division first!
Justin: And her opponent!
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for the match to start.
Simone: Mercedes was recently in Roulette Title action as well, being one of Jessie's challengers alongside Laura Phoenix in the Ultimate X Match!
Adams: I think it goes without saying that if Mercedes won, we'd likely be commentating on a different match! But like with Seleana, Mercedes can use her Queen for a Dau Powers to book any match he wants and she's won the ladder match before!
Drew goes over the rules with the two women and once they nod to confirm that they understand Drew calls for the bell.
DING, DING, DING!
Simone: And the second Queen for a Day Qualifier is underway!
Adams: We saw Zoey Lukas qualify earlier with her win over Georgie Robertson, now it's time to see which of these stalwarts of the division will join her!
Once the bell rings Mercedes tries to gain the early advantage with a running lariat but Seleana ducks under it and the two Bombshells start trading blows in the middle of the ring, Mercedes gets backed up against the ring ropes and then dropkicked to the outside by Seleana who poses for the crowd before measuring Mercedes up for a Suicide Dive! However right as the Swede charges the ropes Mercedes ducks out of the way while tapping her forehead to indicate how smart she is, Seleana doesn't let this disrupt her momentum though as she slides out of the ring and spins Mercedes around before laying in more shots.
Simone: Mercedes's experience paid off but so did Seleana's valency!
Adams: Those two have faced off so many times at this point that they practically know each other like the back of their hands!
Drew's count reaches four right as Mercedes scores with a knee strike to Seleana's midsection knocking the wind right out of the Swedish Bombshell before she grabs Seleana by her long blonde hair and goes to throw her into the barricade, however Seleana reverses at the last-minute sending Mercedes over the barricade and into the crowd! Seleana rolls into the ring to break Drew's count but gets an idea as she spots Mercedes getting to her feet as the Italian fans back off.
Simone: What does Seleana have in mind?
Adams: Whatever it is, it's bound to be bad news for Mercedes!
Seleana heads to the top rope nearest Mercedes and steadies herself before LAUNCHING HERSELF INTO A FLUP DIVE THAT WIPES OUT MERCEDES AND SENDS THE CROWD INTO A FRENZY! Drew quickly leaves the ring to check on both women but by the time he gets there Seleana is already back on her feet and is making her way back to the ring with Mercedes in tow and one the trio return to the ring Seleana goes for the first pin of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes gets the shoulder up!
Simone: Seleana's move may have been spectacular but I think it would've been more suited to a Falls Count Anywhere Match!
Adams: Yeah, in a Falls Count Anywhere Match Seleana would've been able to go for an immediate pin on Mercedes, instead she had to drag Mercedes back to the ring and that gave Mercedes enough time to recover!
Seleana seems to realize this for herself as she shakes her head before dragging Mercedes over to the nearest turnbuckle and heading to the top rope where she goes for a Diving Moonsault! Unfortunately for Seleana Mercedes rolls out of the ring causing the Swede to crash and burn against the matt and giving Mercedes a huge advantage as the Argentinian Bombshell stomps away at Seleana for a few moments before flipping Seleana onto her stomach and hitting a hair pull matt slam!
Simone: One missed Moonsault from Seleana and the ball is in Mercedes's court!
Adams: They call moves like that high risk for a reason and now Mercedes is going for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana gets the shoulder up! But Mercedes doesn't let up as she gets Seleana into a seated position and locks in a Grounded Sleeper Hold on Seleana prompting Drew to get into position, first to see if it's a legal choke and then to see if Seleana wants to submit and fight another day! But whilst Mercedes's choke is legal, Seleana isn't ready to tap out as she struggles against the hold eventually fading as her arms drop to the side.
Simone: Seleana looks to be in trouble!
Adams: Yeah, Mercedes has that Sleeper locked in tight!
Drew gets concerned as he starts checking Seleana's arms to see if she's still conscious by way of picking up and dropping the arms, the first time around Seleana's arm drops like a sack of potatoes and Drew holds up one finger to the camera, the same thing happens the second time around and as Drew holds up two fingers Mercedes starts getting cocky shouting taunts in both English and Spanish at the Italian crowd, however on the third check Seleana finds new life as she starts fighting back to her feet and all the cockiness in Mercedes disappears quickly as she tries, in vain, to stop Seleana from getting back to her feet and once she does Seleana fires some shots to Mercedes's midsection to break the hold and then rolls Mercedes into a Small Package!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes reverses the Small Package into one of her own!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out!
Adams: I haven't seen two women handle a small package like that since my own!
Simone: I AM NOT TOUCHING THAT COMMENT WITH A 50FT POLE!
Belinda can be heard laughing her ass off on commentary as both women get back to their feet and Seleana connects with a Superkick to Mercedes' jaw knocking her down! Seleana goes for another attempt at a Diving Moonsault and this time it connects and she goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes kicks out! Drew assures Seleana that his pin count was fair but she brushes him off before calling for her finisher!
Simone: Seleana's going for the Kattoga!
Adams: If she hits this on Mercedes, she'll join Zoey Lukas in the Queen for a Day Ladder Match!
Seleana waits for Mercedes to get back to her feet and when she does Seleana goes for her finisher only to have it reversed as Mercedes hoists her up onto her shoulders and drives her through the matt with the Black Rose Overdrive!
Simone: And just like that, Mercedes nails the Black Rose Overdrive!
Adams: Seleana is out, stick a fork in her, she's done!
Mercedes goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and qualifying for the Queen for a Day Ladder Match, Mercedes Vargas!
Simone: Mercedes joins Zoey Lukas in what looks to be a stacked Queen for a Day Ladder Match!
Adams: Seleana came up short but this does free her up to go after a title at least!
Mercedes celebrates the win whilst yelling "long live the queen" as Drew checks on Seleana.
LIVE! On August 27, 2023! From the Mexico: Grand Ball Court of Chichen Itza...
It's......
I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston begins to blast all across the speakers and as it does we are able to see Ruby Steele emerging from the curtain. She is clad in a sparkling ruby glow in the dark jacket. The jacket shines brightly and she excitedly sprints to the ring slapping the hands of the roaring fans. She does some cartwheels before finishing up with one massive backflip. She giggles before she slowly slides into the ring. She nips up to her feet and blows kisses to the crowd before she calls for a microphone.
Simone: Ruby was left high and dry by Krystal Wolfe at Summer XXXTreme and was denied a chance at challenging Jessie Salco for the Bombshell Roulette Championship despite Jessie putting out an open challenge!
Adams: She hasn't had a good few weeks, has she?
The fans give off a mixed reaction as she begins to speak.
Ruby: It's OUTRAGEOUS!It's a travesty that I was abandoned by Krystal in our tag match! However it was also wrong that I agreed to be her partner and I didn't really do my part to really be a good tag team partner and be there for her. Things have been very rough for me as of late and part of me signed up to be her partner because I know I am letting my wife down. My wife is the World Champion of the Bombshell Division and I refuse to be another Seleana Zdunich that I am merely a trophy wife. I want to prove that I can stand on my own. I want to prove my worth and I am a former Blast From The Past winner! Sadly I really didn't put that much into our match.
The fans continue to show off that reaction as Ruby paces around the ring.
Ruby: IT'S OUTRAGEOUS that Krystal left me but she's probably OUTRAGED that I really didn't say much so I will be the bigger woman to show that I am not a worthless second act like Seleana Zdunich. So Krystal please come out here so I can apologize to you face to face.
Ruby paces around the ring as she waits for Krystal, but instead her "Executive Consultant" Jessica Stevens steps out.
Jessie: My god, can this bitch be any more annoying?!
Simone: There's a pot calling the kettle black joke there!
Adams: No kidding!
Ruby: Where is Krystal?! I know your her mana.........
Jessie: EXECUTIVE CONSULTANT!
Ruby: Don't interrupt me, it's OUTRAGEOUSLY RUDE!
Simone: Somewhere in the back, the co-owners are getting the mother of all migraines!
Adams: I feel one coming on as we speak!
Jessica: Krystal is in Rome tonight but she isn't in the building just yet, she went out to try some of the local food, and said something about the local pi
erias not doing pineapple!Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simone: Good lord, is she trying to get lynched?!
Adams: It could be worse.
Jessica: And that none of the Spaghetti Carbonara she tried used chicken stock!
At this point the boos are almost deafening.
Jessica: But she WILL be here soon, I assure you........
It's at this point that Krystal sneaks to the ring through the crowd and makes a beeline for the ring, a steel chair in hand.
Jessica: OH! There she is! Right behind you!
Before Ruby can even turn around Krystal wacks her across the back with the chair dropping her quickly! Krystal picks up the discarded mic before pushing the edge of the chair into Ruby's throat by leaning on it! As Ruby is struggling for breath Krystal laughs as she looms over Ruby.
Krystal: I warned you Ruby! I told you not to fuck me over!
Simone: Oh no, she's going to take her anger out of Ruby!
Adams: Courtney, get out here now! Your wife is in danger!
Jessica joins Krystal in the ring as she stops choking out Ruby and the two women work over Ruby with stomps and the chair, until Krystal hands Jessica the chair and she wraps it around Ruby's arm.
Krystal: Any final words before I do the wrestling world a favor?
Krystal asks before she hops on the middle rope. Ruby continues to scream some more but all of a sudden it is at that moment that Seleana Zdunich actually runs down to the ring and she manages to yank Ruby out of the ring and exchanges some words at Krystal and Jessica.
Simone: Thank god for Sel.......
Seleana helps Ruby up after getting the chair off her arm but Ruby shoves her away when the Swede asks if she's okay, a move that even surprises Krystal and Jessica! Ruby leaves via the crowd whilst Krystal and Jessica head up the ramp leaving Seleana alone in the ring.
Adams: What was that about?
Simone: I don't know but we have a developing situation here between Seleana and Ruby! Meanwhile Krystal and Jessica continue their rampage on the Bombshell Division!
A shot of Bill and Bea Barnhart appears on the giant Tron screen and the crowd erupts in a mixed reaction with half the crowd cheering for Bill and Bea and the other half booing them. Bill and Bea do not care what the crowd thinks because their opinion of them, favorable or unfavorable, has no bearing on their wrestling in matches. It appears that Bill and Bea are located in the staging area backstage where wrestlers stay until they are to make their entrance for their match. While Bea and Bill are waiting and talking with each other Scott Oliver shows up with a camera person following him and he approaches the duo.
Scott: I have listened to your comments leading up to Climax Control 366 and your match against Helluva Bottom Carter and Ariana Angelos. You two had a lot to say, both encouraging comments and not-so-flattering comments concerning your opponents. I would like to take a bit of time to ask you about some things. I will start with you Bill. How to you feel going into this match against HBC who is 2-0 over you in wrestling matches?
Bill: Okay, Scott, I will go over this subject once again. *sigh* Say there is a war between two countries and there are many battles that were fought before the war is finally over. Tell me, Scott, how would you define who the winner of that war would be determined?
Scott: By who wins the most battles.
Bill: But, Scott, what if you have a war that has twenty major battles and one country wins eighteen of those battles and the other country wins two of those battles? What would you think then?
Scott: I would say the country that won the eighteen battles and not the country that won two of those twenty battles would win the overall wars.
Bill: Are you aware that during World War II in Europe the country of Germany won the majority of their battles and in the Pacific that Japan won the majority of the battles? Why did those two countries NOT win World War II?
Scott: I guess because Germany got bombed into submission and two nuclear weapons were unleashed on Japan so both countries surrendered.
Bill: But, Scott, you said the country that wins the majority of the battles is the winner but you just proved your assumption wrong. In both areas of World War II the two countries that won the majority of the battles lost the overall war. So, therefore, for you to try to bring up that I am 2-0 against Carter and that means he will defeat me is a false assumption. If you do not believe me go ask the countries of Germany and Japan.
Scott decides to divert his attention to Bea after Bill just educated him big time.
Scott: Okay. So let me ask you some things Bea.
Bea: What happened Scott? You tried to get over on Bill and he shamed you in front of the entire world so now you want to try to discredit me in the same manner? Give it your best shot Scott.
Scott: You have talked a lot of smack in the direction of Ariana Angelos and yet you have no one-on-one history against her. However both of you were involved in a multi-wrestler match and both of you were eliminated from that match. Could you explain why you feel you can smack talk Ariana when you two have not met, one-on-one in the ring, prior to your match tonight?
Bea: That is an easy question to answer. Since me and Ariana have no history in the wrestling ring in matches against each other I feel she had no excuse for hurling vile comments, insults, and threats at me. She started the crap talk and I am going to shut her up tonight. I am not going to allow some spoiled rotten little girl, who feels she is entitled to demand to be handed whatever she whines and complains about, to dictate to me on any subject for any reason. I am going to put Ariana in her place and the place I stuff her is one that she will not enjoy.
Scott: I see the time is coming up quickly when you two need to make your entrance for your match. I wish to best for you in this match.
Bea: Thank you Scott.
Bill: Thanks Scott.
Bill and Bea hear their entrance music hit the speakers and they are on their way to make their entrance for their match. All Scott Oliver can do after his talk with Bill is Bea is watch Bill and Bea Barnhart and learn a few things from them.
Justin: The following contest is for one fall and is a mixed tag team match! Introducing first.
Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air.
Justin: From Lawrenceville, Georgia, please welcome The Barnharts.
The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a woman at ringside, so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring and Bill follows, they walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.
Justin: And their opponents.
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 her partner.
Glee Cast Version of "I Know What Boys Like" begins to play and Carter steps through the curtains, holding an ankle length, sleeveless black robe closed in front of him. he then whips it open, revealing his ring attire of a printed belly t, booty shorts and thigh high boots. He holds one hand behind his head while running the other hand down his body while grinding his hips to the music.
Justin: From Seattle, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy six pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!
Carter drops the robe to the stage and runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and then lays across the top corner, awaiting the start of the match.
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as we see Bill Barnhart and Carter square off in the ring, the more powerful veteran against the man that is an overall gifted wrestler. We see Carter circle Bill before locking arms, Bill immediately locks Carter in a standing side headlock before dropping him on the canvas over his hip still locked in the headlock. He cranks up the arm tighter across the head of the younger wrestler, who is trying to get back to his feet. Only to have Bill switch over into a front face lock and wear Carter down by putting all of his weight on top of the back of his neck. Bill follows it up by pounding across the back with some heavy forearms before lifting Carter over his shoulder in an attempt to execute a Back Breaker. Only to have it reversed into a Rollup into a pinning position.
ONE!
TWO!
THR...
Bill uses his powerful legs to kick out at the pin attempt as both men get to their feet, Carter executes a dropkick to the face of Bill that sends him staggering into the ropes before Carter runs towards him and jumps up, grabbing his head and places his feet on the chest before falling backwards and executes a Monkey Flip into the middle of the ring and then goes for another cover. But unbeknown to Carter it is Bea that managed to tag herself in by slapping across the arm of her husband when he came in contact to the ropes near her.
Simone: That's poor luck for Carter, he could have gotten the cover if Bea hadn't tagged herself in.
We see Ba and Ariana charge into the ring, the former mixed tag champ against the former Bombshell Roulette champion. Ariana ducks a spinning heel kick and jumps the ropes and connects with a Springboard Back Elbow of her own to the jaw of Bea. That causes Bea to fall on the canvas, but rolls out of the way when Ariana sets herself up for a Standing Moonsault and hits nothing but Canvas.
Adams: That's tough luck for Ariana
Bea immediately takes advantage of the given situation, locks Ariana in a Camel Clutch, pulling hard on the chin as she pulls the former Bombshell Roulette Champion backwards as that puts a lot of pressure ont he lower back of Arian where Bea is sitting on top of. Dawn Barnes is asking Ariana whether she can continue with the match or wants to submit to the pressure. Something that to much joy of the fans she refuses to give into. We see her dig her fingers into the canvas, in an attempt to crawl over towards the ropes as she slowly is nearing, only to have it stopped by Bea when she lets go and jumps up and lands on top of the lower back of the former Bombshell Roulette Champion before dragging her back to the middle of the ring.
Simone: Bea managed to stop that momentum from Ariana quickly with that tactic
Bea now locks Ariana in the Boston Crab submission hold, she fails to sit down deep enough to put even more pressure on Ariana as she is unable to find the right balance to do so. This gives Ariana the opportunity to push her upper body off the canvas and crawls backwards out of the clutches of the now seemingly standing Bea Barnhart. Who lifts Ariana off the canvas into the air for a modified Powerbomb, but Ariana manages to grab hold of Bea's head as she manages to escape the clutches of the former Mixed Tag Champ and drills Ariana into the canvas with a DDT in the middle of the ring.
Crowd: This is Awesome!! This is Awesome!!!
We see both Bill and Carter start to encourage their mix tag team partner by clapping their hands or extending it towards the two downed Bombshells. Dawn Barnes looks on and starts to use the ten count on both ladies as neither of them are moving
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
We see Ariana slowly start to roll over on her side, reaching over towards Carter but notices that she is facing her opponents tag team Partner Bill Barnhart.
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Bea is starting to move as well, noticing Ariana crawling over towards her own tag team partner as she grabs hold of her left leg and tries to prevent her from doing so. She desperately tries to lock both arms around the leg of Ariana as she slowly manages to stand up. Ariana is now hopping around on one foot, jumping upwards in an attempt to kick Bea in the face, but Bea had seen it coming and ducks. She looks over at Bill, telling him that she had Ariana outsmarted. But only
Adams: GOOD GOD!!!!
Ariana managed to land on the same foot after attempting the kick, and went for another kick after noticing that Bea had turned her attention around with another jumping kick. This drops Bea as Ariana crawls over towards Bea and covers her
Simone: Will this be it??
ONE!
TWO!
THRE....
Adams: NO!!! Bea got her shoulder off the canvas!!!
Simone: Ariana took too much time to cover Bea!!!
Ariana slowly rolls over towards her corner, we see Bill running into the ring to grab Bea and drag her to his corner for a quicker tag. Only to have both men tag themselves in at the same time as they charge in on each other. Bill goes for a running clothesline, but Carter manages to duck it and hits a Reverse Neck Breaker. He then kips up on his feet and goes for the cover
ONE!
Bill kicks out at one, showing that he is far from being pinned as both men get to their feet. Carter has an advantage over Bill as he runs for the ropes and comes off with a flying forearm. Only to be caught byt he powerhouse and dropped with The World Strongest Slam before going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Carter manages to kick out at the count of two, but the sudden impact that was impacted on his chest causes him to cough for oxygen as the massive weight of Bill Barnhart had dropped on top of his chest. Bill immediately smells blood, pulls Carter up to his feet by grabbing his hair before locking him in a massive Bear Hug, wrapping his massive arms around the body of Carter as he tries to slip his arms between his body and the arms of Bill. But that fails as Bill tightens his grip, causing Carter to scream in agony before dropping his arms to his side.
Simone: It seems that bills power game is giving him and Bea the advantage right now Jason
Adams: It sure does Belinda, i'm just curious how resilient Carter is and wehther he can mount a comeback!!
We see Carter's body leaning to the left a little, arms hanging to the side as Bill continues to squeeze. Dawn grabs one of Carter's arms and checks if there's any life left in it as she drops it.
Adams: That went down fast!!!
Dawn tries again and the result is the same
Simone: One more time and the Barnharts secure a victory!!!
We see Bill gloating from ear to ear, believing that he has already got the match won when Dawn Barnes grabs the arm for the final time and lifts it in the air. But only this time it stays in the air to the shock of Bill Barnhart. Not believing that we suddenly get to see Carter lift his body and stares Bill in the eyes with a look of determination before blasting both of his wrists against the temples of Bill's head. This causes him to let go off the hold as Carter suddenly takes control off the situation and knees Bill int he midsection and follows it up with a DDT.
Adams: Will that be it???
We see Carter slowly roll Bill over and hooks both legs as the former multi champion seems to be out of it
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winners of the match Team Go!!!!!
We see Carter roll off of Bill and rolls to the outside where Ariana holds on to him. Both of them get their arms raised by Dawn who leans through the middle and top rope and raises up their arms.
WORLD MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
EILEY and OLIVER ZAHN (c) vs SAMANTHA MARLOWE and BEN JORDAN
We cut to the backstage area where we can see the blonde haired Ruby Steele pacing around with an enraged look on her face. She storms her way towards that of a taller blonde backstage. Ruby crosses her arms as she stands face to face with the Swedish star Seleana Zdunich.
Ruby: What do you think you were doing out there tonight?! If Krystal was going to break my arm I was willing to deal with the consequences. I don't need YOU of all people saving me. I am NOT LIKE YOU! I refuse to be considered dead weight and to be left behind in the shadows by my wife. That's a story fitting for you being Crystal's trophy wife but not me.
Seleana looks on, visibly taken aback.
Seleana: You needed help, ja?
Ruby rolls her eyes as she looks back into those blue eyes.
Ruby: I don't need help especially from YOU! Don't you understand?! Or do you not understand English. You prefer if I say it in my other native language?!
Still astonished, Seleana' hands raise up to try and calm her. Ruby smirks as she begins to speak.
Ruby: rydych chi'n ddiwerth. Do you understand that?!
Seleana: Welsh?
She frowns.
Seleana: What you mean, especially me?
Ruby: You are notorious for being worthless. You are a shadow to everything Crystal has accomplished in this company. Honestly what HAVE you accomplished without her?! Because wasn't she the one who bashed Alicia Lukas with a title to her face to help you win your World Championship?! Wasn't she the one who won Queen for a Day to give you a Roulette Championship match?! Without her training wheels and helping you along the way you are nothing. Hell you wouldn't even have a zoo if it wasn't for HER MONEY. What have you done on your own?! Not much from the way I see things.
Seleana: You forget the Trios Championship in WWA and the Tag Team Championships I've won with my sister. You forget Alexandra. She Dat Girl, ja? Why are you so keen to prove this? You are worried you are just "the Other Steele"?
Ruby: I am not the Other Steele. It doesn't even matter if I am not a Taylor like everyone else. The point is that statement is OUTRAGEOUS and the days of me being looked upon as Ruby are over. I know who I am. My name is Prudence Pierce. I am ready to show that to the world and I will show why you are worthless.
Prudence keeps glaring at Seleana in her eyes and slaps her as hard as she can against the face as a smile escapes her lips. Seleana touches her face and shakes her head sadly.
Seleana: Du gör en höna av en fjäder. Nu har du skit i det blå skåpet.
Seleana turns back and tackles Prudence to the floor. Before they can really get fighting, security rushes in and pulls them apart and away from each other.
Prudence: GET OFF OF ME! I will beat the hell out of that wanker! Curaf y uffern allan o'r fuwch wirion honno. Ti am ymladd fi Seleana? Rydw i'n mynd i'ch dinistrio chi
She screams as security pulls her back.
Seleana: Ingen ko på isen.
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, accompanied by her executive consultant Jessica.
Simone: Well, we WERE going to see Chelsea Skye take on Krystal in a public workout, until she poked the bear one too many times and was banned from the arena by Christian!
Adams: And I bet we're going to hear all about it from Krystal!
The crowd boos Krystal's announcement and she smirks before she and Jessica start making their 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 kneeling position whilst facing the crowd, one arm on the middle rope and the other on her right leg, she then holds down the middle rope for Jessica to enter the ring before she jumps into the ring over the top rope, soaking in the boos until Krystal takes the mic from a stagehand.
Krystal: Oh, I'm sorry, wasn't someone supposed to be here?
Krystal asks mockingly as she turns to Jessica who merely shrugs her shoulders.
Krystal: I guess defending your wife's honor isn't important enough to risk getting arrested, huh Chelsea? Too bad, I was looking forward to your next porn video being "one handed babe gets plowed by BBC!"!
Simone: Is that actually a thing in porn? Err, on second thought, don't answer that!
Adams: I'm not Googling it!
Krystal: Oh don't worry, I'll find a new opponent for next week, there's bound to be some idiots out there eager for a shot at stardom.........
All of a sudden, the crowd and Krystal hears AC/DC's Moneytalks play. The crowd begins to cheer, seeing Jenny Tuck come out. She looks at Krystal in the ring and smirks. She blows a kiss to Jessica as she says
Jenny: Nice to see everyone here. Especially my slut in the ring.
Krystal scowls as she glares at Jenny.
Krystal: Oh good, the world's richest former wrestler is here! Keep checking your accounts people! it's bound to quadruple in balance by the end of the night!
Jessica: *Only* quadruple?
Krystal: I was feeling generous!
Krystal turns her attention back to Jenny.
Krystal: What do you want Jenny? Unless it's to fill in for the only Go Gym Graduate with an OnlyFans page, who I'm sure is being "filled in" somewhere in the Italian countryside for PornHub as we speak, you can fuck off right now!
Jenny gives a smirk over this. She then says
Jenny: I'm here to have someone represent me in your so-called "open challenge". You don't have to worry about if said person wins, they'd get your money. Sadly, your money isn't good enough to slip ones under your stripper's g-string. Again, hi Jessica.
Jessica: EXE–
Jenny: Quiet, toy! The adults are talking.
Jenny smirks as she continues
Jenny: I've already paid them for this. All they want...is your head. INTRODUCING, REPRESENTING JENNY TUCK ENTERPRISES...AND SPITTING IN THE FACE OF CHRISTIAN UNDERWOOD...."THE NIGHTMARE ANGEL" CHELSEA...SKYE!!!!!!!!!
The fast guitar riff for "Reborn Through Failure" hits the speakers and once the vocals kick in Chelsea makes her way out onto the entrance ramp ready for battle.
Simone: Chelsea Skye is here!
Adams: Wait, she just took Jenny's mic!
Chelsea: And for the record Krystal? I filmed that vid you just described YESTERDAY!
Adams: Well, I know what I'm watching tonight! Err, I mean.........
Simone: KEEP IT CLEAN JASON!
Chelsea hands the mic back to Jenny and marches down to the ring, ready for a fight, Krystal and Jessica bail as soon as she hits the ring and looks to be making a run for it!
Simone: Typical, she bails right before............
CHELSEA NAILS THEM BOTH WITH A RUNNING SUICIDE DIVE THAT TAKES HER OVER THE ROPES! Chelsea lands on her feet and the crowd roars!
Adams: Chelsea is considered one of the premier female high flyers for a damn good reason!
Chelsea grabs hold of Krystal and slides her back to the ring. Jenny is seen coming to ringside, cheering Chelsea on. Chelsea pulls up Krystal and wails on her, over and over. She pushes Chelsea a bit, giving her a superkick.
Simone: Looks like Chelsea isn't holding back on her. But Krystal...wait...something's wrong.
Chelsea rushes and kicks Krystal hard in the face. Jenny notices something weird happening as she screams out for Chelsea to finish it, Chelsea nods as she gets into position for her signature Phoenix Splash, AKA The Skye's The Limit! However at the last second Jessica dives into the ring and takes Chelsea's finisher for Krystal by laying her body on top of the Aussie's, knocking her out in the process! Chelsea frowns before booting Jessica out of the ring, not seeing Krystal get back to her feet.
Simone: Wait, what's up with Krystal's eyes?!
Adams: They are usually green but they've taken on a red, almost cat-like appearance!
Jenny tries to warn Chelsea but it's too little too late as Krystal nails her with the Hope Destroyer! Chelsea is out and Krystal smirks.
Krystal: Huh, we never got a ref out for this, did we?
Krystal asks as she yanks Chelsea back to her feet.
Krystal: Guess I'll skip the pleasantries.
Krystal wastes little time in locking Chelsea in The Crippler! Chelsea's pain wakes her up with a jolt but she refuses to tap out! As Krystal tightens the hold. She is met with a huge boot to the face. Krystal lets go as she sees Keira in the ring. Keira goes over to Chelsea to check on her, Jenny joining as well. Krystal suddenly clutches her head in pain and not from the kick to the face she just suffered.
Krystal: Ugh, what the fuck?!
Simone: Something has come over Krystal, I guess Keira kicked her harder than IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING FIREBALL IN HER HANDS?!
Jenny sees it as Krystal fires it. Jenny pushes Keira out of the way and takes it. Jenny screams out hard as Keira turns and sees quickly.
Keira: JENNY!
Keira rushes to Jenny as she calls for medics. She looks at Krystal, seeing the cat-like eyes, screaming out
Keira: You've gone too far, this time! I'll make you pay, Krystal!!!!
Krystal begins to laugh in a different tone. She then says
Krystal: Really? Thing is, I've done worse. That was just a taste of what I'm going to do. I've waited too long for this moment. I've waited....
All of a sudden, the cat-like eyes vanish, changing into red dots. The crowd sees it and screams. Keira's face begins to show shock and fear as Krystal says
Krystal: ...three...long...years. Dear Keira!
Keira: No...NO! YOU'RE DEAD! I SAW YOU DIE!!!!!!
Krystal: You can't kill an idea, you can't kill an ideology, YOU CAN'T KILL SIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simone: No.........
Adams: How long has Krystal been possessed by Sin?!
Krystal leaves the ring not even bothering to retrieve Jessica as she backs up the ramp.
Krystal: August 27th, Mexico, Grand Ball Court of Chichen Iza, Violent Conduct IX, WE FINISH THIS!
As the medics rush in to check on Jenny, Keira slowly stands. She looks at Krystal, not seeing the woman she was facing. She saw the true enemy, the one enemy she had been fighting for years. The one she saw die. She says
Keira: Sin...I'll put you back in that grave myself. This time, you'll stay there. Never...to return! Do you hear me!? YOU'LL WISH YOU NEVER CAME BACK!!!!!!!!!
Sin: Hahaha...Dear, Keira. Once I get my hands on you. I'll make sure I get my revenge against you. You can thank Krystal's two bumbling idiots for this. But until then. Roxi Johnson...will suffice....
Before Keira could go after her, the lights go out for a moment. They come back on, Krystal no longer on the ramp. Keira shouts at the medics to check on Jessica as well.
Simone: Our worst nightmare...has come back. Sin...Sin's back from the grave...
Adams: And she has a new host...Doomsday...has come again...
The scene fades on it.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen this is tonight's main event, and it is for the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Roulette Championship!
The fans that packed into The Colosseum would have blown the roof off of the place if it had one. Justin pauses for just a moment for the cheers to die down before continuing.
Justin: In true Sin City tradition, as a result of spinning the wheel earlier tonight, this match will be contested under ANYTHING GOES, SUBMISSION rules. Introducing first, the challenger...
Static fills the speakers as the A-Flat cord streams through and Rev Theory's "Hell Yeah" begins to blare as the hypnotic laugh of Rich Lu
i echoes throughout the arena and Laura Phoenix's video entrance illuminates the Smarkstron.Justin: From New York City! Laura Phoenix!
When the chorus plays the lights raise and Phoenix runs out on stage to the delight of the fans. She runs to the opposite side of the stage before stopping at the center and raising her fist high in the air and a large amount of pyro goes off around her.
Simone: Laura had a shot to take the Roulette Championship from Jessie at Summer XXXtreme, but came up just short due to the craftiness of the champion.
Adams: Well maybe now without Mercedes around to be a third wheel, she'll have better luck.
She takes off down the ramp and slides into the ring and running to the closest corner and once again raises her fist high in the air. She repeats this at the other three corners as her music dies out and she stands in the middle of the ring awaiting her opponent.
Justin: ....and her opponent...
The Colosseum gets bathed in darkness 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 Colosseum before a single spotlight shines on Jessie headbanging to the song.
Justin: From Miami, Florida, please welcome your Bombshell Roulette Champion, Hall of Famer, 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, unstraps the Bombshell Roulette Championship and holds it up into the air facing Laura in her corner.
Simone: Jessie won't be able to out think her opponent tonight, she'll have to make Laura submit in order to retain her championship!
Jessie poses there for the crowd again as the song fades. Jacob Summers steps between the two, and takes the championship belt from Jessie before holding it up to the crowd. As he hands it off to a member of the ring crew, he signals for the bell to get the match underway.
DING DING DING!
Jacob Summers motions for the two women to come out of their corners, but both of them take two steps towards the center and stop. The fans cheer, seemingly more for the fight itself than either of the two women individually. Laura and Jessie look at each other, and then out to the fans, before locking eyes once more. Instead of locking up in the center of the ring, both women flee out of opposite sides of the ring, and throw up the ring skirt on the outside.
Simone: Jessie and Laura both had the same thought!
Adams: None of the fans seem to mind that at all!
The cheers only escalate as both women start reaching under the ring and throwing what they find up into the ring. Laura tosses a stop sign and fire extinguisher to the inside, while Jessie produces a kendo stick and a chair. All of the items end up thrown into the ring before Jessie pulls a table out and quickly goes to work setting it up on the outside. Laura pulls a ladder out of the other side, and sets it up outside on the floor before ascending the rungs of the ladder. Jessie gets her table set up, and slides back into the ring, only for Laura to leap from the top of the ladder, spring off the top rope, and take Jessie down with a big hurricanrana to get things started in the ring.
Simone: Here we go! Jessie used the ladder at Summer XXXtreme to gain the advantage, and it seems like her opponent hasn't forgotten that!
Adams: Laura Phoenix takes the first big risk, and it pays off!
Neither of the two women are down long. Laura rolls through back to her feet, and before she can capitalize on the move, Jessie is already starting to get up on her own. Laura issues her a hard chop across the chest that stands the champion up, and then a second that makes Jessie retreat backwards a step. Laura senses the opening and swings her arm for a third, but Jessie ducks under her arm and sprints across the ring. When the champion rebounds, she is greeted only by an arm drag that sends her back down to the mat. Jessie pops up quickly again, but this time is leveled by a dropkick that energizes the crowd. Laura pops back up and makes her way back towards Jessie, but the champion sits up and smashes her in the head with the stop sign that had been tossed into the ring.
Simone: Jessie stopped the onslaught... literally.
Adams: Laura Phoenix was building momentum, the champion needs to get up and get things moving.
Jessie tosses the stop sign aside, and gets to her feet before grabbing and pulling her challenger up as well. The champion locks her adversary up and powers her into the air before bringing her down with a picture perfect suplex. However, Jessie keeps hold of her opponent and rolls through into a seated guillotine choke that catches both Laura and the crowd by surprise. Jessie wrenches backwards, screaming out that Laura has nowhere that she can go. However, the challenger manages to dip her chin under Jessie's grip, and pops her head loose before both women scramble to get to their feet. Jessie goes for a quick kick to the midsection to maintain her advantage, but Laura catches it with both hands before driving Jessie backwards. The challenger kicks at Jessie's planted leg, topping the champion and forcing her to the mat. In an instant, Laura sends two hard kicks to the back to Jessie's knee before dropping her body weight on top of it and transitioning into a kneebar submission.
Simone: The submission style strongly favors Laura, and we are starting to see that here.
Adams: Jessie also uses her legs to fly all around the ring. If Laura can take that away from the champion, the title is as good as won!
Jessie flails, and tries to kick at Laura with her free leg to get free of the hold, but it doesn't work. Instinctively she looks around for the nearest rope, but quickly realizes that it wouldn't force the break in this match. Instead, she turns her attention to the nearest object in the ring that she could use to free herself. Laura leans back, cranking more pressure on Jessie's knee, but the champion whacks her with the kendo stick she found under the ring earlier. When that doesn't work, Jessie hits her again, and again, before Laura finally has to roll away and protect herself after a fourth shot. Laura gets herself to safety before attempting to get up to her feet while Jessie is clearly showing the effect of the hold on her knee. She tries to plant it on the canvas, but it buckles. Laura rushes towards her, but Jessie swings the kendo stick once again. Laura raises her arm to take the shot right to the ribs, but traps the kendo stick under her arm before ripping it from the champion's grasp. She tosses it away and looks back to Jessie, but the champion comes out of nowhere with a shotgun dropkick that propels Laura backwards towards the turnbuckles.
Simone: End of The Line for the champion! Jessie may have been overselling the damage to her knee.
Adams: The ruse worked. It bought her the opening that she needed.
Jessie acts quickly, and places the chair from the ring in front of Laura as she leans against the turnbuckles from a seated position. The champion runs across the ring, and shakes out her knee in the opposite turnbuckle before sprinting across, and cannonballing herself into both the chair and her opponent in the corner as the fans all rise to their feet.
Simone: High impact from Jessie Salco, but you have to think that hurt her as well.
Adams: The champion doesn't care about that as long as it gets a little bit closer to retaining her championship tonight.
Both women are down, and Jacob Summers checks on the two of them before standing between their downed bodies in the corner. He seems like he is at a loss for what to do, as he cannot really count either of them out of the match. Luckily, Jessie starts to push her way up off of the canvas to make his life a little easier. Once she is on her feet, she pulls the chair away from Laura in the corner before pulling her challenger out and sprawling her out overtop of the chair. Jessie rolls out of the ring, and out to the apron as the fans start to cheer what they know is about to happen. The champion ascends the ropes to the top turnbuckle and then launches herself off of the top rope without hesitation.
Simone: Jessie Salco is looking for the Wall of Death!
Adams: Laura is going to get sandwiched between the champion, and the chair.
As Jessie flips through the air, Laura rolls away, leaving Jessie to crash and burn onto the chair as the fans erupt for the countered high-risk move. Jessie seems to be in pain, and Laura can't immediately capitalize. She gets as far away from the champion as she can before using the ropes to help get herself up to her feet. Jessie is trying to get up to her feet, but Laura stops her and issues a few stomps to the champion's knee before grabbing hold of both of her legs. The challenger tries to lock in her Call of the Phoenix submission, but Jessie is able to kick her away. Laura is backed up a few steps, and Jessie rolls backwards, plants her feet under herself, and tries to stand up. She takes too long to gather herself though, and Laura hits a superkick that echoes within The Colosseum.
Simone: Kick to Damnation on the champion!
Adams: Jessie is out on her feet!
Jessie falls backwards, only saved by the fact that the ropes rebounded her and stopped her from collapsing. Laura sees her opening and sprints towards the dazed champion, but as she tries to take Jessie out with a spear, the champion sidesteps and sends her flying through the middle rope where a table was waiting for her on the outside. Laura crashes through the table face first which works the crowd into a frenzy. Jessie falls down face-first in the ring, and the camera catches her looking at the wreckage of her challenger at ringside.
Simone: I am not even sure Jessie knew that was going to happen.
Adams: Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
The medical team rush out to ringside, but Laura keeps attempting to brush them away. They call for a stretcher and another team of people start to head down the aisle, but Laura continues to assure them that she can keep going in the match. Jessie gets her wits about her and tries to roll under the bottom rope, only for Jacob to stop her from exiting. Jessie gets seated on the apron with her legs dangling on the outside of the ring while she still inside the ring ropes to argue that the match is still going on. However, Laura pulls herself up to her knees with the help of the ring skirt and throws a punch at Jessie despite the personnel at ringside telling her that it is in her best interests to stop. The champion looks reluctant, but grabs Laura's hand, stopping the punch before it lands. She raises her legs onto her challengers shoulders, and shakes her head before leaning backwards.
Simone: She's got The Punishment Due locked in with Laura trapped against the ring apron!
Adams: Laura's got nowhere to go!
The challenger does her best to attempt to free herself from Jessie's grasp, but her arms flail without finding anything to aid her. Laura manages to get her feet planted on the floor to take some of the pressure off of the hold, but Jessie leans even further back and tightens her legs around her challenger's neck, pulling her up to her tippy-toes.
Simone: Laura still won't tap!
Adams: Jessie is going to force her to give up and listen to the medical team, even if she has to choke her out first.
Laura's legs get wobbly, and her free arm falls lifelessly to the mat. The official tries to check on her but gets no response. Jacob Summers picks up and drops her arm back to the apron before signaling for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and STILL SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion, JESSIE SALCO!
Jessie releases the hold, and Laura's lifeless body collapses to the floor outside the ring. Jessie is handed her championship belt, and lifts herself back to her feet in the ring with the help of the ropes. She raises her prize into the air as the slow guitar intro of "Blood Lightning" by Lutharo is heard over the PA System.
Simone: Jessie Salco retains!
Adams: I thought that Laura may have had her number tonight, but Jessie manages to hang on to fight another day.
Jessie celebrates to the sounds of cheers as medical personnel check on Laura Phoenix at ringside.
Simone: That is all we have time for tonight, join us next week for some hard hitting action! For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!
The camera fades to Jessie celebrating.
THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for this show!
