The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.

A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage, clad in a sexy Roman soldier's uniform complete with red undershirt tunic with an attached faux leather armor and cape, wrist guards, shin guards, and helmet. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.

Justin is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;

"SCW!"
"SCW!"
"SCW!"

Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around the Grand Ballroom at all of the fans filling the rows of seats around the ring and ballroom itself. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring where he removes his helmet and brings the microphone up to his lips.

Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and welcome to Sin City Wrestling CLIMAX CONTROL!

The crowd cheers!

Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!

The crowd applauds and cheers as Amanda steps out onto the stage, dressed in a golden Las Vegas showgirl's costume, complete with flamboyant headdress and matching high heels. She sashays around the top of the stage as the performance begins!

Amanda: If I were a girl even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning and wonder what just happened to me.
Oh no don't tell me they're real.
Yeah I think they're real.
Something else is missing
Where the heck's my PENIS!

If I were a girl would I still look like a guy?
No I wont put on make up but I might just want to give that bra a try.

If I were a girl I could mess with the guys.
No, no not like that I mean
When we get a nice dinner I'll make sure they buy.
I could seduce them.
Show them my nice behind.
Yo Zach check out that A... OMG
Ha gotcha. You totally like guys!

If I were a girl I'd have the nicest legs.
I refuse to cook in the kitchen but I'm pretty dang good with the microwave.
If I were a girl please don't get mad if I'm mean.
I'm not used to my body this monthly thing is kinda new to me.

No I don't really know if I want to change back.
Because I like my new hair and the guys love my
FACE what!

Oh if I were a girl I don't think I'd ever understand
How it feels to be a girl.
God please change me back to a man!
If I were a girl.

The crowd cheers and applauds as the song comes to a close. Amanda prances around the stage for a fair few moments, blowing kisses and posing for photo ops before she vanishes backstage, behind the curtains.

The camera then transitions to ringside and the broadcasters table where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit, ready to greet the SCW Universe with the fans waving from behind!

Simone: Hello everyone and welcome back to Sin City Wrestling's home territory of the Gold Coast Casino right here in Las Vegas, Nevada! I am Belinda Simone alongside Jason Adams…

Adams: That's me! Wasn't High Stakes XIII something Bel?

Simone: That it was, Jason! As always, that is why we have coined High Stakes as the Grand Prix of Professional Wrestling. And as always, the first Climax Control after this historic event is FILLED with the aftermath from start to finish!

Adams: And what better way to celebrate coming home then with two brand new Superstars kicking things off!? It's Matty Mallow against a real roughhouse in Justin Smith!

Simone: I'LL tell you how, Jason! By welcoming home two Bombshells when we have not seen in over a year! Bella Madison has been gone for well over a year, becoming a mother and bringing a beautiful daughter into the world alongside her husband, Malachi! Bobbie Dahl took some much-needed personal time off to get her head back in the game and she is now ready to return to action and right a few wrongs in the past! These two women face each other in their big returns to the six-sided ring!

Adams: I never thought I'd say this but Oz and Eiley aren't the Mixed Tag Team Champions any longer! Finn Whelan and Kayla Richards won the titles at High Stakes XIII, and tonight the former champs go up against Team GO!

Simone: Goth and Austin James Mercer! Both former World Heavyweight Champions! Both having impressed the higher ups in the Six Pack Challenge for the vacant World Championship! These two greats will go at it in singles competition to determine which will be next in line to challenge J2H for the gold!

Adams: Then the Roulette Championship is on the line in a Triple Threat match when the long running champ Peter Vaughn of the Saviors defends against "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart AND former World and Internet Champion, Jack Washington!

Simone: Then in the Main Event! The now-former World Bombshell Champion Courtney Pierce has cashed in her chips early to get her contractual return match against the woman who ended her reign two weeks ago - Julianna DiMaria! And to make matters worse, Christian has upped the stakes by making this a Street Fight! No Disqualifications, Anything Goes!< /font>

Adams: Wowwww!!!

Simone: All this and more on Sin City Wrestling 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: I could have been standing here tonight talking about how I took a man's career, or I could have been sitting here burying my legacy, but I'm standing here in front of you all with one thing I told you all that was gonna happen and that's walk out with the SCW World Heavyweight Championship.

The crowd give him a mixed reaction.

J2H: For over eight months, headlining the last three supercards, bleeding all over the place, this is what it comes down to.

He looks at the SCW World Championship in his hand.

J2H: And I've had a lot of time to reflect over the last couple of weeks, I've had a lot of time to sit here and think about if it was all worth it to become a four time World Champion and I won't bullshit you, I'm tired. I worked my ass off for this company all that time, and not had a bad match since I came back to save this place from the shit champions and the no shows. It drains you physically and mentally, but still, was it worth it.

A smirk crosses over his face.

J2H: Fuck yeah it was worth it!

The crowd burst in to cheers.

J2H: Every drop of blood I left in the ring all over the world, was worth it to be standing here right now. You might sit there and think that this is a different side of me, that for the first time in my life, I'm being completely honest with you, but I've always been fucking honest. I've told you all from the second plans changed and I had five people in front of me instead of one that I was going to be standing here in front of you holding this championship. I told you all I was going to lead this company in to it's next year and beyond and here I am.

J2H paces up and down.

J2H: So I guess the next question is what is next for me? More so what is next for this baby.

He raises the World Championship.

J2H: I'm not shying away from any challenge, I'm not stepping back from anyone. I beat five top people just a couple of weeks ago, five, but there's one that stands out in my mind, one that tried his hardest to get under my skin. That's you Alexander Raven.

He looks up the ramp.

J2H: Now I don't know if you're here tonight, probably not, but you tried the mind games, and the C bombs to throw me off my game and it didn't work. You came to social media with respect after, but the thing is, as much as I earned your respect, you didn't earn mine.

He raises a finger.

J2H: But I'm gonna give you the chance to earn my respect. I don't care if it's next week, or three weeks, or even if you want me to drag you up to headline another supercard with me. You're gonna get your chance to earn my respect. Pick your shot.

He looks up the ramp

J2H: In the mean time, anyone else back there wants to try and earn my respect, I'm going nowhere and I'm not too hard to find, all you have to do is ask. I'm J2H, I'm the SCW World Heavyweight champion, and that's real talk, bitch!

"Lights Out" starts to play again, and J2H leaves the ring.

Simone: It seems like he has offered Alexander Raven a shot at the championship.

Adams: Along with the rest of the locker room.




The camera view moves to the announce table where Belinda and Jason are sitting.

Simone: This match is the debut of two new superstars here in SCW. Let's go to Justin for the introductions.

The camera view takes in Justin Decent in the ring with a microphone.

Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall …Introducing first…

The opening riffs of Madness by Liliac hits the speakers as Justin "Tarrytown Tormenter" Smith comes out to the stage, looking smug. He stands there as the crowd gives him boos. The New York Smasher walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step. He looks around the crowd, and starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head with his nose in the air to look at the crowd, their faces showing that they do not like the way he is looking down upon them..

Justin: From Tarrytown, New York! Weighing two hundred and fifty pounds! -- The Tarrytown Tormenter!!!!

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

Simone: This man has been trained by SCW veteran Casey Williams.

Adams: Agreed but he better not look past his opponent..

"Mr. Boombastic" by Shaggy begins playing over the speakers as we see the flash of an image from behind the curtains. It is similar to the Staypuffed Man. As the lights focus on the stage, we see Matty Mallow in place of the marshmallow man. He pumps his fist to get the crowd going.

Justin: And his opponent…On his way to the ring, from Chicago and standing at five foot ten inches and weighing in at one hundred and ninety five pounds, he is... Matty Mallow!!!

Matty dashes down to the ringside area, doing a lap around the ring to get high fives from the crowd. He then jumps onto the apron and pauses there, pumping his fist again. He then gets inside of the ring. He rushes to each corner, climbing up quickly to throw his arms out to the side. Once he's done his lap, he pauses in his corner, still looking out to the fans.

Adams: Drew Patton is going to have his hands full with these two.

Simone: He is motioning for both of them to come to the middle of the ring.

Patton is seen talking to Matty and Justin who are only looking at each other, the only recognition to the instructions are slow nods. Finishing, Drew motions to the timekeeper from between the two wrestlers.

Simone: There is the bell and this match is underway.

DING DING DING!

Matty and Justin move closer as the bell sounds. Justin smirks down at Matty who only smiles back then watches as Justin begins to circle. The pair lock up in a collar and elbow tie up that Justin leverages into a side headlock. Matty is quick to push him into the ropes and is knocked to the mat as Justin rebounds towards him with a shoulder block. Looking down at the fallen Matty, Justin charges across to the opposite ropes and rebounds. Matty is quick to throw himself to the mat forcing the New Yorker to leap over him on the way to the ropes where he rebounds only to be caught by Mallow with an arm drag that takes him to the mat. Matty follows the arm drag with a leg drop on the held arm. Justin pulls the arm against his chest quickly as Mallow rolls to his feet. Justin rolls to the side where he slips under the ropes and leans against the ring. Matty gets to the ropes and reaches over to grab Justin to pull him upward. Justin catches at the hand and then viciously pulls downwards on the arm to hang it over the top rope violently which has Matty cry out in pain as he stumbles across the ring, trying to shake the pain in his arm away as Justin crawls under the ropes and stands to move across the ring. Grabbing the arm of Mallow, Justin irish whips him into the ropes and then takes him down with a clothesline.

Adams: What a start to this debut tonight Belinda..

Matty rolls quickly to the outside as Justin moves towards him. Justin smiles as he waves his finger at Matty who is leaning against the barricade watching him. Justin drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring as Drew Patton leans over the top rope and tells the two men to get into the ring before beginning his ten count. Matty moves around the ring as Justin stalks towards him. The two men stare as Patton counts. Mallow rolls into the ring and breaks the count before he climbs on the ropes as Justin backs to the ring and rolls inside of it. Getting to his feet, Justin is surprised by Mallow who comes off the top rope with a diving front dropkick that sends him to the mat. Matty quickly crawls over to Justin and rolls him up only getting a one count as Justin presses the smaller man off his shoulders. Matty rolls to his feet as does Justin who charges across the ring to take Mallow off his feet with a clothesline. Mallow tries to roll away but Justin catches him quickly by the legs and he locks in a boston crab on Matty who is arched in pain. Patton is there to see if Matty submits and is able to see that his hand shoots out enough to catch the ropes forcing the break.

Simone: Lucky for Matty that Smith locked on that boston crab so close to the ropes. I hesitate to think what might have happened if it was in the middle of the ring.

Justin refuses to release the hold on Mallow who is screaming for Drew to make him release the hold. Finally, at four, Justin drops Mallow on the mat as he gets to a vertical base and then moves towards the corner where Cactus Pete is sitting. Drew checks on Matty who is holding his back with one hand as he fights to his feet by pulling himself up on the ropes with the other. Justin turns to see Matty is getting to his feet. Moving across the ring, Justin reaches out for Matty who desperately hits a springboard left forearm that barely rocks Justin back. Laughing at Mallow, Justin motions for him to do that again. Mallow rushes towards the ropes and this time, tries to hit a springboard tornado ddt that Justin catches. Shaking Matty slightly to dislodge his arm, Justin sends him over his head with a snap suplex that lays out Matty who rolls over to his stomach clutching at his lower back as Justin gets to his feet. Getting to his feet, Justin moves to pull Matty upwards and then drags him to the ropes opposite the announce table, then begins to use headbutts on Mallow which are very effective as Matty slumps slightly. Justin uses a final headbutt that sends Matty into the corner where he sags against the ropes.

Adams: Justin Smith laying some pain onto Matty in this match..

Simone: Matty will be very sure to know just what message Justin is trying to give him.

Justin moves towards the corner where Mallow is. He is taken by surprise as Matty uses a European uppercut to rock his head backwards. With the separation, Matty quickly pulls himself up on the turnbuckles then leaps of the top with a diving hurricanrana that takes Justin to the mat. Matty rolls through the throw and gets to his feet to rush the ropes near Justin. Leaping over the slowly rising Mexican, Matty hits the ropes and catches Justin with a springboard tornado DDT that drives the head of Justin into the canvas laying him out. Matty rolls over to pull the leg of Justin up as he pins his shoulder to the mat. Justin Smith reaches out and catches the bottom rope to break the count as Matty realizes he has his count stopped. Slamming his hands on the canvas, he sits back on his heels as Justin pulls himself to the outside. Getting to his feet, Matty moves towards the ropes where he looks down at Justin. Pulling on the ropes, he makes like he is going to launch himself over the ropes which has Justin lunging to avoid the move but Matty lands on the apron. Justin stands with a smirk on his face as Matty comes off the apron with a diving hurricanrana that sends Justin to the mats on the floor.

Simone: Matty is trying to fight back and is managing to exert himself.

Matty reaches down to pull Justin to his feet before using a shoulder tackle to drive the back of Justin into the ring apron causing him to cry out in pain. Matty leverages him into the ring as Patton is counting. Rolling under the bottom rope, Matty watches as Justin staggers to his feet. Mallow attempts a judo hip toss but Justin is able to reverse it into a german suplex that lands Mallow on his head. Not letting go, Justin hits a second then third german before releasing Matty who clutches his head and then rolls to the apron near the turnbuckles. Justin gets to his feet and moves to the side of the ring where he taunts the crowd. Finally, Justin smirks and then turns to face Matty Mallow who takes him out with his MashMallow finisher. Justin is downed as Matty throws himself on the downed man and rolls him up.

Adams: This match could be over!

ONE!

Simone: Matty has Justin pinned but I can see movement from Smith.

TWO!

Adams: There is Drew with the final count on Justin Smith.

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Matty Mallow!

Matty sits up and then rises as Drew holds his arm up in victory as Justin rolls to his stomach and growls as he angrily slams his hands on the canvas.

Adams: Matty Mallow with the win against Justin Smith but I can't fault Smith either as he put up a hell of a fight.

Matty leaves the ring and heads to the entrance as Justin angrily rolls out of the ring and heads towards the young Matty as security moves to stop him from going after Mallow.




The feed cuts away from the action happening in the ring, where cameras were standing by at the entrance from the parking area designated to the Sin City crew. The left side of the double doors swing open, and through it comes the woman challenging the Bombshell World Champion in the main event. Court Pierce is still covered up in a fully jet-black outfit, but the small bits of skin we can see are littered with discolored bruises. The slight smirk on her face is indicative of the confidence surrounding her, and she appears to be in a much better mental space than she was when she demanded this rematch after High Stakes. Noticeably absent is the bag that she usually carries with her that contains her gear for the night. However, as she steps through the door, she shrugs off the jacket that she was wearing for the viewers to see that her hands are already taped up for the main event, signifying that Court intended to walk into the street fight as-is. As she started down the hallway, her favorite of the three interviewers, or at least the one that she spent the most time with, stepped into the frame. He was hoping that this conversation would go better than the last one where she refused to even let him speak.

Stoner: Court, you look ready to go, but your match isn't until the end of the night….

She shrugs her shoulders, but the smirk doesn't fall off of her face.

Court: I don't have a match tonight. I have a fight; one I intend to win. After I do, and after my Bombshell World Championship is back where it belongs, we can go back to talking about matches.

Scott Oliver seemed relieved that at the very least, the intense focus and thinly-veiled hostility wasn't being directed his way. That hadn't been the case the last time the two of them shared the same space. He motions to the bruises that were even more apparent now that she had removed her jacket.

Stoner: We have all heard about how you spent the last two weeks trying to level up by working with Amber Ryan. You think that's going to be enough to get you over the hump tonight? High Stakes wasn't your best showing, and now you're clearly walking in at less than 100%.

Again, the former champion seems unbothered by his question, when she had previously ripped him apart for less.

Court: It's a street fight, Scott. Anything goes, and we can go anywhere in this building. Hell, we could take this fight all over this city if that is what it takes. I might be a little battered and bruised, but I can assure you that I am more than ready for what I am going to do to Julianna once I get my hands on her. It's all that I have been thinking about for two weeks. I've got lots of ideas.

Her last few words brought a wide smile to her face that made Scott feel incredibly uneasy. The way that her eyes lit up when she said them made him worry about what the main event was going to turn into, whether she won back her championship or not.

Stoner: Before that though, two of the graduates of Jet City are tak---

He couldn't even finish the thought because as soon as Court realized that the focus was going to be taken away from the main event, she simply continued walking past Scott. It was clear that she wasn't going to be wasting any time on anything that wasn't directly related to the task at hand. Court wasn't taking her eye off the ball this time, not for anyone. With the former champion gone, Scott shakes his head, and motions for the feed to cut away elsewhere in the arena.




The camera cuts backstage to one of the hallways in the arena to see Eiley and Oz already dressed to compete and it looks as if they were in the middle of a heated discussion. Eiley folds her arms over her chest with an overly annoyed look on her face.

Eiley: Why is it that whatever I say never gets through your thick skull?

She looks at him, the look not removed from her face. Oz frowns for a moment as he looks at her, confused at where she is coming from.

Oz: ….What?

She just shakes her head at him as if she could not believe what he had been saying to her.

Eiley: You know what? Never fucking mind. I never once thought it was your fault that we lost at High Stakes and I don't even fucking care that we lost. But you wouldn't even know that because you never fucking talk to me.

Eiley glances up and realizes the camera is there and shakes her head.

Eiley: Just fucking forget it.

Oz just stands there a little confused as Eiley walks away in a hurry without looking back. Oz has little to no time to think about everything that just happened as Myles runs up to him and grabs his arm.

Myles: C'mon! You hafta hurry!

Given his history with the child, it isn't surprising that he doesn't immediately move and Myles struggles but fails to pull him along.

Oz: What do you want, you little terrorist? And where are your co-conspirators? You shouldn't be wandering around alone.

Myles shakes his head, and keeps trying to pull Oz like they didn't have the time to have a conversation.

Myles: I was the only one that didn't want to go, and now they are all stuck. I can't ask any strangers for help. It has to be you.

Oz looks back in the direction that Eiley went, but then allows himself to be pulled wherever it was Myles was taking him. If the other children had gotten themselves into trouble, he couldn't just ignore it. Kris and Mikah would end up blaming him for everything if he did.

Oz: Okay. But we have to hurry because I have a match coming up. And all of you are going to owe me one!




We open on footage of Krystal Wolfe's match against Seleana Zdunich at High Stakes before it pans out to show Krystal watching the closing moments of the match.

Krystal: Wonder who will be next on my path?

Jessie: I'm just wondering when you started using an Ankle Lock.

The Aussie looks up to see SCW Hall of Famer Jessie Salco walking up to her.

Krystal: Huh, where's Harp?

Jessie: She's competing over at Empire Pro for one of their top titles in the semi-main event of their show tonight, it wasn't really a match she could get out of and I told her to send in a pre-taped interview to keep up appearances here.

Krystal: I get it, but as for your question?

Krystal shakes her head.

Krystal: I've been experimenting with different submission holds since I retired the Record Breaker/The Crippler, figured I still needed a submission hold in my arsenal for if and when I ended up in a submission match.

Krystal shakes her head.

Krystal: The Ankle Lock worked on Seleana but I'm not happy with how I executed it, still looking for other holds to incorporate into my move set.

Jessie: Can be a pain in the ass, can't it?

Krystal: Especially with SCW bringing back December 2 Dismember to round out the year, I thought we'd have another extended Christmas break but nope.

Jessie: Can never be too sure with the bosses, as for your question as to who will be your next opponent on the path?

Jessie shakes her head.

Jessie: Just wait and see.

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




The camera shot then transitions to the six-sided ring where Dawn Barnes stands ready to officiate the upcoming contest.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following match is scheduled for one fall!

All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor starts to play through the sound system. The crowd erupts in loud cheers, as Bobbie Dahl bursts through the curtain, sans her once signature angel wings. Her eyes are narrowed as she stares down to the ring, and Artie joins her moments later.

Justin: Making her way to the ring! Weighing in at two hundred forty pounds! From Coal City, Illinois! Please welcome, the one! The Only! BOBBIE DAHL!!!

Bobbie continues her way to the ring, no longer showing off the fun attitude everyone was so used to seeing. She now carries a much serious and determined demeanor as she walks alone, stomping her way to the ring. Once she reaches the ring, she walks up the steel steps and enters through the ropes heading to the center of the ring, waiting for the match to begin with a fiery look in her eyes.

Simone: This is a match that a lot of people - myself included - has been looking forward to! Two top Bombshells making their return after months away!

Adams: Welcome back, Bobbie Dahl!

Justin: And her opponent...!

Arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows, climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kickpads.

The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing her wrestling gear along with a ring jacket with the hood up and starts making her way to the ring.

Justin: Coming down toward the ring! From New York City! Bella Madison!

Towards the end of the chorus she hops up on the ring side and climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket with a smirk and a wink as the song fades out.

Adams: Mama Bella is back in SCW! Hooray!

Simone: Indeed, Bella Madison has been away becoming a mother along with Malachi! But after three months, the itch to return became unbearable and she returns against fellow Bombshell - Bobbie Dahl! This one promises to be outstanding!

Dawn then calls for the opening bell to begin this contest!

DING DING DING!

Both Bobbie and Bella step into the center of the ring where Bobbie offers her hand in a gesture of sportsmanship. The crowd is wary given her past as Bella looks out to them for their opinion. But Bella ultimately accepts the handshake before they break and begin to circle one another.

Simone: I can understand Bella's hesitation. Bobbie Dahl has had something of a past here in SCW where she made a number of enemies.

Adams: Yeah but let's not forget Bobbie also has a past with Bella where she once saved her from an attack by Tempest.

Bobbie and Bella then lock up, collar and elbow.

Simone: I'm not sure how wise this is, given the considerable size and strength difference between the two.

The two struggle in the tie up and amazingly, Bella extends her arms and begins to push Bobbie back a few steps, when Bobbie's size comes into play and she just shoves Bella back to the mat, sending her tumbling head over heels. Bella stares up from where she sits with a smile, as Bobbie herself smiles and nods, beckoning for her to come on. And indeed Bella does so with gusto as she jumps to her feet and rushes in, throwing down with a number of forearm shots to the side of Bobbie's head! Bobbie fights back and swings at her, but Bella ducks under the blow and she jumps on Bobbie's back, locking in a sleeper!

Adams: Bella is a real hell cat in there!

Simone: Bella is one of the smallest women on the roster but her experience helps her to know what she needs to do against women the size of Bobbie Dahl!

Bobbie tries to shake Bella off but she's stuck to her back like glue. Bobbie then goes to run backwards into the corner and crush Bella behind her, but Bella drops down and slides through her legs, causing Bobbie to crash back against the turnbuckles. Bella then gets a running start around the ring and leaps into the corner for a Stinger splash on Bobbie! Bella scales the turnbuckles, pinning Bobbie in and Bella starts to hammer at her head with fists as the crowd counts along...!

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!...

But Bobbie grabs her around the legs and brings her out of the corner and drops her in a spine buster!

Adams: And THAT'S where the size difference comes into play!

Bobbie folds Bella in half for the first pinfall attempts of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

Bella kicks out!

Bobbie grabs Bella by the wrist and pulls her to her feet and strikes her down with a short-arm clothesline! Bobbie pulls her right back up for a second attempt but this time Bella manages to duck and counter with an attempted Crucifix but is unable to take Bobbie down! Bobbie just stands there with Bella hanging off of her back and Bobbie shifts her up onto her shoulders in a fireman's carry and attempts to F-5 her but Bella hangs on, turning the maneuver into a DDT!

Adams: Ohh! What a counter by Bella!

Simone: And that is exactly what she needs to do! Use her speed and technical expertise!

Bella forces Bobbie over onto her back and covers her, hooking a leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Bobbie lifts a shoulder in time!

Bella throws forearms into Bobbie's head from her position but Bobbie shoves her away to get some distance. Bella is right back on her and is again shoved away. Bobbie gets to her feet and Bella jumps on her, throwing a barrage of forearms to weaken the larger woman but Bobbie literally throws her off and down to the mat! Bobbie grabs her and sends her into the ropes with an Irish whip and Bella comes off with a dropkick that staggers Bobbie back a step! Bella jumps up and races off the ropes and connects with another dropkick that knocks Bobbie back several steps!

Simone: Still Bella is unable to take the larger Bobbie Dahl down!

Bella makes for the corner and quickly springs to the top turnbuckle. Bobbie turns around and Bella leaps and hits a missile dropkick that FINALLY knocks Dahl off of her feet!

Adams: TIMBERRRR!!!

Bella dives on top of her for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Bobbie powers out, throwing Bella off and almost through the ropes!

Adams: Now THAT was a kick out!

Bella looks ultimately surprised but she rolls out onto the apron. Bobbie gets to her feet and Bella uses the ropes to slingshot back inside, leaping at Bobbie -- but is caught in Dahl's arms and driven hard into the mat with a power slam!

Simone: Oof! Sometimes in these size mismatches, the size advantage is just too much such as in that case!

Bella sits up, holding her back as Bobbie comes dashing off of the ropes and she FLATTENS Bella with a low cross body on her seated opponent! Bobbie hooks the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Bella gets a shoulder up!

Simone: And now that Bobbie has taken the advantage, it's going to be hard for Bella to recover.

Bobbie drags her up to her feet and Bella fights back with a slap to the face! Bobbie fumes at the insult and she grabs Bella and returns fire with a slap of her own, sending Bella into a tailspin! Bobbie then lifts her up off of her feet with a crushing bear hug!

Adams: She's got her! She's squeezing the air out of her!

Simone: Dawn is asking Bella if she wants to pack it on!

Dawn is right there as Bobbie crushes the air from Bella's lungs! Dawn asks her if she wants to submit but Bella refuses! Bella then begins to fights back, driving elbows into Bobbie's head to break free. Bobbie squeezes again, causing Bella to cry out sharply! Bella starts driving harder elbows into her and Bobbie's grip is broken. Bella throws a hard forearm into Dahl, then dashes into the ropes and comes off but Bobbie scoops her right up and slams her down hard! Bobbie then comes off of the ropes and CRUSHES Bella with a senton!

Adams: OHHHHH! MY! GOD!!

Bobbie lays back across her for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Bella gets her shoulder up!

Simone: That lazy pin attempt may have cost Bobbie the win right there.

Bobbie drags Bella to her feet and hurls her into the corner so hard that Bella collapses in the corner on her backside. Bobbie then gets a running start and attempts a cannonball but Bella rolls out of the way and Dahl crashes hard in the corner!

Adams: What luck!

Simone: Had she hit that, it would have been all over!

Bella begins to deliver the boots to Bobbie as the larger woman struggles to right herself and get to her feet! Bella goes for an Irish whip into the ropes but Bobbie powers out and reverses it! Bella comes off and jumps over Dahl for a sunset flip but Bobbie blocks it, just standing there! Bobbie then goes for an Earthquake splash but Bella rolls away and Bobbie crash lands on her tailbone!

Adams: Donut pillow, aisle two!

Bella is back on her feet and she comes off the ropes and connects with a Shining Wizard strike! Bobbie is dazed and Bella goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Bobbie gets a shoulder up!

Bella goes to the near corner and goes to the second turnbuckle before Bobbie is on her - but Bella kicks her away! Bella then jumps off and hits a double knee lung blower! Bobbie hits her back and Bella jumps into the ropes and springboards back with a moonsault!

ONE!

TWO!

Bobbie kicks out!

Adams: Another kick out by Boobie, er, Bobbie!

Simone: Neither one of these women want to lose their first match back!

Bella wastes no time as she is back on her feet and she steps through the ropes and out onto the apron. Bella climbs to the top but Bobbie is back on her feet and meets her up there! The two women start to swing at each other, attempting to fend the other off! Bella delivers a right hand that ALMOST sends Dahl toppling, but Bobbie hangs on and she returns fire that Bella catches herself from a nasty fall to the ringside floor! Bobbie then wraps her arms around Bella's upper body...

Simone: What is she doing...???

And Bobbie brings Bella CRASHING down from the top rope with a...

Adams: Belly to Bobbie Superplex!

Rather than go for the pin, Bobbie climbs up the corner facing the fans and launches herself off...

Adams: Boobie Bomb!

Bobbie with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner -- BOBBIE DAHL!

Dawn raises Bobbie's arm as Bella struggles to recover!

Adams: Bobbie wins!

Simone: Both women returning after months of inactivity and only one could win, and this time it was Bobbie Dahl!

Bobbie then kneels down and checks on Bella, something that would have been unheard of over a year ago. Bella nods and Bobbie helps her to her feet and raises Bella's arm in victory, much to the fans delight!

Simone: And what a gesture of sportsmanship!

Just then, "Mine" by Halestorm starts to play.

Simone: What...?

Adams: What's going on?

And out onto the stage steps the reigning Bombshell Roulette Champion, Alexandra Calaway! She is greeted by boos and some scattered cheers as she stands there stoically, looking out at the crowd around her as Bobbie looks on from the ring. Alexandra then looks straight ahead toward Bobbie and the two women begin to exchange heated words with one another.

Adams: I'm pretty gad right now we can't hear what they're saying!

Alexandra then strips the championship belt from around her waist and holds it up high for Dahl who points at it from the ring and then motions around her waist!

Simone: I do believe the gauntlet has officially been thrown down between these two women!




Simone: Hold on, I have word something is happening in the backstage area! Get a camera back there – fast!

And a camera is right there, catching a brawl taking place now between Justin Smith and Matty Mallow! Justin is in complete control of this backstage fight as he has a firm grip on Matty's hair while just waylaying on his head and body with his free handed fist! Matty uses his own arms to wrap around Justin's legs and pulls them out from under him, Justin falling to his back now with Matty on top! Matty is now fighting for self preservation more than anything as he darts throwing windmill blows into the hardcore brawler, but Justin digs his fingers into Mallow's eyes and kicks him off! Matty falls back against a door and Justin dives right at him for a spear but Matty shakes off the affects of the eye gouging and his eyes widen in alarm at what is stampeding right toward him! Matty dives aside and Justin careens right into the closed door, busting it wide open and falling inside! Suddenly there are random feminine screams coming from inside of the room!

Adams: He's in the female staff dressing room!

Justin is suddenly coming from inside, surrounded by a very angry mob of Pussy Willow, Ms. Rocky Mountains, Janet the Makeup Lady, Dawn Barnes AND Jasmine St. John! They are throwing anything they can get their hands on at Justin, driving him from out of the room as security rushes onto the scene to intervene and break it up while Matty makes a hasty get away!

Out at ringside, Jason turns to Belinda with wide eyes.

Adams: What was all THAT about!?




Kayla Richards. There now I have your attention. One half of the mixed tag team champions, complete with a shiny new championship over her shoulder, stands backstage, a small green grape in her fingers as she pops it in her mouth. She makes a pursed face and swallows before looking to her left .

Kayla Richards: Finn…

Finn Whelan, the other half of the mixed tag team champions, stands next to her, his own championship over his shoulder as he raises an eyebrow asking more of a "oh god what?" than a genuine inquisition.

Kayla Richards: These grapes…are so fucking sour…

Finn sighs heavily, reaching over to the small white bowl, twisting and popping a grape off and throwing it up and easily catching it in his mouth.

Finn Whelan: Hmmm….to me they seem kinda…bland.

Kayla Richards: Hey, I'm just sayin' in a company this prestigious we should have some prime quality grapes. Not bland or sour ones. Especially since they are being served to the NEW Sin City Wrestling Mixed Tag Team Champions…."Kayla and Butler"...

Finn Whelan: Excuse me, but fucking no.

Kayla's lips turn into a disdainful expression as she narrows her eyes and looks at Finn.

Finn Whelan: After all, if we're listening to the white noise of the Mixed Tag Division, wouldn't it be more apropos – if you will – that it's "Finn and the Deadweight", because you apparently don't do shit and I carry you?

Kayla Richards: We don't listen to lesser beings. These are the same people who touted their status as the "greatest" and won a consolation prize award the same day they got beaten by two people who could "never" best them. So, we don't listen to that level of stupid….HOWEVER….

Kayla pauses and looks down picking up another grape.

Kayla Richards: We should probably come up with a name since you shot down my excellent idea…

Finn Whelan: Probably. It might solidify it a bit more, you know? I mean, imagine this: if we won a championship by just barely getting along, then what happens when we actually become cohesive simply by naming ourselves something as an individual unit. You know, friendship.

For a brief moment, the word "friendship" appears on the screen in front of them similarly to the style from Mortal Kombat 11 fatality, colourful and in balloon letters. Kayla and Finn both look down at it, and then Kayla reaches up, and flicks at it with a neatly manicured black fingernail. It flies off the screen.

Finn Whelan: I guess we could go by Wolfslair since that's what everyone seems to call us…even though it's just that I work there.

Another face as Kayla shakes her head, disliking it immensely.

Kayla Richards: I'd rather poke my eyes out with a spork.

Finn Whelan: Same. You know though…wolves isn't such a bad idea, though. What are wolves known for?

Kayla Richards: Depends, but I mean, if we're labeling it for important purposes…

She starts counting them off on her fingers, looking upwards.

Kayla Richards: Primal knowledge, inner strength, loyalty, and above all, strong instincts…

She smiles, almost knowingly where Finn was going. Finn smirks slightly.

Kayla Richards: You want to resurrect it, don't you? Make it legitimate.

Finn Whelan: You're catching on.

He looks at the camera, then, smirk on his face as he leans forward, crossing his arms.

Finn Whelan: See, back in twenty-seventeen and eighteen, I was part of a team in which we were dominant and unstoppable. Both World Champions, the two of us were capable of a number of things. But it fell apart when we both left for different, greener pastures, and I lost sight of her and stopped giving a shit. But now? Now is the time to put it back in the field. Because as much as it's been nice and all fucking around and finding out in a positive manner, this division isn't going to get brighter if there isn't something to be there. Kayla and I, we want to build it. And to that, we have to present ourselves as fighters. Always ready to defend, never willing to back down. Not complaining when we're given something we don't want. We want to face the best. Not sit in the back and sip on oodles of noodles and think we're fuckin' special because the world has been handed to us.

Kayla Richards: I mean, I like things handed to me

Finn looks over at Kayla. After a few moments she lets out a defeated sigh and throws her hands in the air.

Kayla Richards: FINE, we can do it. Besides, at least you know I'm a bitch, your sister tried to hide it. So, it's up to you. I'll follow….this time.

Finn Whelan: Then that's that. From here on out, we're the Wolves of Gheimhridh.

Kayla Richards: ...why can't we just say "winter".

Finn shrugs, and then pulls out of his pocket his iPhone, thumbing through it.

Finn Whelan: I like watching people struggle with how to pronounce it.

Kayla Richards: ….I like where your head's at…..

Kayla turns with a small smirk and a shake of her head..

Kayla Richards: Is that enough of a "plan" for you all?




The camera cuts backstage again to see Myles, Lindsay, and KJ standing outside of a door that presumably leads to a closet. As the cameraman gets closer, a muffled voice can be heard coming from inside of the closet.

KJ: No, this is what you get for losing our titles.

The camera gets a little closer to see that the three have them have used a broomstick and a chair to barricade the door shut. Myles nods his head enthusiastically, agreeing with KJ.

Myles: Yeah!

The camera catches some more muffled things from the closet but it was too muffled to make out what the person was saying.

KJ: And now, we don't have access to them, so you have to face the consequences.

Myles: Yeah! My mom says I have to stay away from the new losers because they're…

Myles frowns for a moment, trying to think of the word that Mikah had used.

Myles: Dirty bags?

Myles frowns a little bit before shrugging his shoulders.

Lindsay: Don't worry, we'll let you out before the show ends.

The three kids laugh before walking away, leaving Oz locked in the closet right before his match.




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….

5 Seconds of Summer's hit "No Shame" erupts over the sound system and the crowd turns to the stage where Helluva Bottom Carter dances out onto the stage amidst the cheers of the SCW Universe! Clad in his favorite Ostrich jacket and sparkling lavender shades over his eyes, Carter bows and sweeps at the waist, blowing a kiss.

Justin: From Seattle, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy six pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!

Carter 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 removes his shades and jacket, passing them out to the ringside attendant before laying across the top corner, awaiting his opponent's introduction.

Justin: …and their opponents…

Nightmare (Reprise) by Halsey begins to play and the lights flicker a few times before they stay on and Eiley walks out onto the stage. She smirks before stopping at the top of the ramp, her hands on her hips.

Justin: Representing Limitless, she is the 2023 Future Star of the Year, Eiley!!!

She stands there for a few seconds with her hands on her hips before she walks down the ramp, ignoring the fans as she walks to the ring. She stops at the bottom of the ramp and looks around before walking to the steel steps and jobs up them before stepping onto the apron and then getting into the ring between the top and middle rope. She stands in the middle of the ring and does a simple pose before moving off to one of the turnbuckles and climbs up and sits on the top turnbuckle.

Justin: ….and her partner…

The lights dim and fog rolls out in a thick cloud over the entrance area of the stage as the music starts. The fans are treated with a spotlight that kicks on just under the stage, but where they would typically see the outline of Oliver Zahn through the smoke, the bright light shines through uninterrupted.

Simone: Well that's new…

Adams: Is he not coming out?

Eiley drops down from the top rope, and walks to the side of the ring that faces the bottom of the ramp, curious as to where her partner might be. She looks back at Justin, who shrugs as the music gets cut off and the lights above the ring kick back on.

Simone: Eiley seems to be out here without a partner.

Adams: We have seen him having problems with the children of Hall of Famers Kris and Mikah all evening, maybe they finally took him out once and for all.

DING DING DING!

As the announcers debate where Eiley's partner might be, the sound of the bell chiming fills the arena to the surprise of all three competitors in the ring. Ariana didn't need any more reason than that to get her hands on someone from Jet City though. As Carter steps out of the ring and onto the apron, Ariana runs towards Eiley and catches her with a dropkick to the chest as she turns.

Simone: Looks like Eiley is going to have to go this one alone for a while.

Adams: Well, that might not be as bad as it sounds. Oz is clearly the weak link in the team.

The newly crowned Bombshell Internet Champion doesn't waste any time and keeps the pressure on her opponent by running the ropes and springboarding to take Eiley back to the mat with a crossbody. The former Mixed Tag Team Champion rolls through though, and hooks both of Ariana's legs for the surprise pin attempt.

ONE!

TW--

Ariana kicks out, not at all caught off guard by the reversal. The two women scramble back to their feet, and exchange several right hands without either of them getting the better of the other until Eiley goes low with a kick to Ariana's kneecap that causes her to fall forward. Eiley wraps an arm around Ariana's neck and takes her down with a DDT that draws boos from the crowd as Carter yells out words of encouragement to his partner.

Adams: Carter might not be able to get into this match, but he can certainly make a difference from his corner.

Simone: …and we still haven't gotten word about the location of Oliver Zahn.

Eiley tries to keep the momentum on her side, and doesn't go for the pin attempt that she knew would fail. Instead, she pulls Ariana back to her feet, and sends the champion running towards the ropes. However, when she rebounds off of them, The Golden Angel cuts Eiley in half with a spear. The fans explode with cheers, but Ariana wasn't quite done yet. She gets back to her feet, turns her back to Eiley, and executes a picture-perfect moonsault before hooking both of her opponent's legs for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

TH--

Eiley kicks out, but was clearly shaken by the back-to-back high impact moves.

Adams: I thought it might have been over there.

Simone: Eiley's going to have to reach down deep in order to pull this one off by herself, because she can't tag herself out for a breather.

Sensing that she had her opponent in a bad spot, Ariana sizes Eiley up as she pushes herself back to her feet. As soon as Eiley gets her feet planted on the mat though, the Bombshell Internet Champion leaps into the air and locks an arm around her opponent's neck. Eiley does a full spin with Ariana swinging around her before getting spiked on the top of her head with an implant DDT.

Adams: Greek Pride from Ariana!

Once again, the champion doesn't go for the pin though. She sees Eiley in the perfect position, and gets back to her feet only to climb the turnbuckles in the corner. Everyone in attendance rises from their seats to see Ariana fly, but when she leaps and corkscrews through the air, Eiley rolls towards the corner, causing Ariana to crash and burn on the mat. Eiley pulls herself up with the ropes as Ariana gets up to her hands and needs and attempts to force air back down into her lungs. As she struggles, Eiley takes two running steps and then dives towards Ariana taking her back to the mat with a knee strike to the side of her head. With both women down, the fans explode in cheers, as Carter does what he can to have them will his partner back to her feet.

Simone: Eiley has had a couple of counters to get her out of bad spots, but without a partner, I feel like it's only a matter of time until she runs out of tricks.

Eiley wasn't able to capitalize on the move, and both she and Ariana struggle to get back up from the mat. Once they are upright, they exchange several more right hands, this time significantly slower than their first exchange. However, this time before Eiley can take a cheap shot, Ariana hits her with a right hand, and then immediately spins and catches her with an elbow to the side of her head that staggers Eiley back. Ariana closes the distance that she created between them with two sprinting steps before taking her opponent down with a spinning wheel kick that catches Eiley between the eyes. The fans pop again, but this time it is short-lived. The crowd suddenly shifts to boos, and it takes Ariana a moment to figure out why once she gets back to her feet. Eiley was propelled back against her corner from the kick, but Oz finally came sprinting down the ramp, and before Ariana could capitalize on her momentum, he tagged his lifeless partner, finally forcing Carter into the match.

Adams: Here he comes to save the day!

Simone: Mighty Mouse? Really?

Adams: Classic.

Ariana seems frustrated at first, especially when Oz slides into the ring to be face-to-face with her. The referee tries to tell Ariana to back off and allow her partner to take her place, but she doesn't budge. Oz cockily shakes his head at her, but should have been paying attention to his actual opponent. Carter ascends to the top rope while Oz is focused on his partner, and then leaps off. He flies over Ariana and the referee before locking his arms around Oz's neck and bringing him down hard with a stunner-style maneuver.

Simone: Fruit Fly from Carter!

Adams: Oz never even saw it coming!

Simone: That's what he gets for trying to get in Ariana's face. She isn't his opponent, Carter is, and Carter seized his opportunity.

The referee follows Ariana back to her corner, and she steps back out onto the apron without argument. Carter pulls Oz away from the ropes, and then twerks back in the direction of Eiley in the corner before backflipping onto his opponent. At the last possible moment though, Oz manages to pull up both knees to catch Carter in the ribcage, causing him to writhe on the mat. The former Mixed Tag Team Champion still seems shaken and wobbly on his feet, but shoots a look to his corner to see that there was no way that Eiley was going to be ready to come back in. Instead of putting the added pressure on her, he sizes up Carter as he starts to get up, and then leaps up, attempting to spin him into a pin with a sunset flip. However, Carter drops to his knees and spikes Oz on his shoulders for his own pin.

ONE!

TWO!

THR--

Eiley pops up and pulls both of Oz's feet, not only breaking the pin, but inadvertently swapping their positions as Oz is able to complete the sunset flip, and reverse their pinning predicament. The referee doesn't see it at first, as they are distracted attempting to get Eiley to go back to her corner, and with the distraction, Ariana gives Limitless a taste of their own medicine. She enters the ring, and steps close to the two men. Carter reaches both hands up into the air, and Ariana takes both of them before leaping over Oz. The momentum she creates doing so is enough to pull Carter off the mat, and once again reverse the pin position before slipping out of the ring.

Adams: Ariana may have just stolen this one.

Simone: After everything that Jet City has stolen from her, I don't even think that makes them even yet.

Eiley, with her back turned to the ring, celebrates early as the referee counts the fall behind her. Oz tries his best to fight out of the hold, but Carter has him folded in half with every ounce of his weight on the former champion's shoulders.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Eiley starts to cheer, but when it is Carter's music that blasts through the PA system, she spins around with shock on her face.

Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners via pinfall, Helluva Bottom Carter and the Bombshell Internet Champion, Ariana Angelos!




Backstage at the Gold Coast Casino, Helluva Bottom Carter is seen power walking down the hallway, still clad in his wrestling gear of the shimmering rainbow unitard with body still glistening from the excursion of the hard fought victory earlier. He is clearly looking for something – or someONE – when someone calls aloud to him…

Pussy Willow: Excuse me, Carter? Carter, can I have a moment?

Carter pauses just for the briefest of moments to see who was addressing him, and then continued on his way as the comely Pussy Willow catches up with him and walks alongside of him as she speaks up.

HBCarter: Hey, Pussy…

He stops briefly in his tracks in wonder at what he just said. He then shakes it off and continues on his way.

Pussy Willow: Carter, I just wanted to offer my congratulations on yours and Ariana's victory earlier this evening.

Carter just smiles en route but says nothing.

Pussy Willow: But do you think there will be any ramifications on how the match was won? I mean, after all with the rules about intergender…

HBCarter: I know the rules, but it's about intergender violence. What happened out there was not violent by any means, otherwise I would have disqualified myself. It's not how I wanted to come out on top but…

He shrugs.

HBCarter: They started it.

Pussy Willow: That begs the question – what now? You beat Michael Harris when he was the World Champion and you and Ariana just handed a back to back loss to the former World Mixed Tag Team Champions. Will you be making a bid for the tag titles now?

Carter stops and turns around to address the reporter.

HBCarter: I know that's always an option and I'd never argue the chance to team with Ari, but truth be told I want to…

Just then, from around the corner emerges SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood and Carter does a double take at the sight of the boss man.

HBCarter: Just the man I wanted to see!

Christian just rolls his eyes.

Christian: Oh for the love of…!

And Christian waltzes right past Carter but the young grappler is not deterred and he follows right after the boss with Pussy Willow right there as well, her nose always tickling when there was a scoop.

Christian: I really don't have time for this!

HBCarter: I just wanted to ask what is going on?

Christian: I'm busy running a show, that's what is going on. Afraid you're going to have to be a lot more specific!

HBCarter: I'm talking about the match between Goth and Mercer!

Christian: Oh that?

The boss frowns.

Christian: What about it?

HBCarter: Well I want to know WHY I was left out of it!

Christian: Well I think a more appropriate question is why should I have entered you into it?

HBCarter: Wh-why? I outlasted both of those guys in the Six pack match at High Stakes and you pass me over to decide which of those two would be getting a shot at J2H! I should think I would have at least been given the chance to earn the same but you just by passed me and went straight to them!

Christian: Your point being?

HBCarter: My point being is that it doesn't make any sense and I really don't think it's fair!

Christian stops walking and closes his eyes, drawing in a deep breath.

Christian: Fair… Sweet Jesus, and here I thought that strain of Jessie Salco Syndrome had run its course.

He looks casually at Carter.

Christian: You should see if your insurance covers the vaccine for that.

Before he resumes his walk and arrives at his office door, but Carter (and Pussy Willow) is right on his heels, much to his annoyance.

Christian: You had a title match against J2H a couple of months ago, and you just had another chance at the title two WEEKS ago. And here you are, whining about not getting a third!

HBCarter: I'm not asking for a title shot, just for the chance to earn one. I think I deserve an explanation why!

Opening his office door, Christian begins to step inside but stops and turns around to face the young competitor with venom in his eyes.

Christian: Fine! How's this for an explanation? I left you out of the scene because I thought the fans might prefer a title match where they won't assume the challenger is going to choke!

The crowd watching on the SCW-Tron gasps in shock and boos as Christian enters his office and shuts the door behind him, leaving a very embarrassed and crestfallen Carter behind him.




Simone: Harper Mason picked up a huge win at High Stakes when she ended the in ring career of Laura Phoenix, however Harper can't be here tonight as she is at Empire Pro's Tainted Twilight Event where she competes for their Prime Time Championship against Melody Slayton.

Adams: The fact that a girl who isn't even twenty is getting all these title opportunities is a true testament to Harper's in ring talents, however Harper did send is a pre-recorded interview from her hotel room.

We cut to the tron where we see Harper setting up her camera before sitting on a chair.

Harper: Hey Sin City Wrestling! Sorry I couldn't be there in person tonight but I had to chose between a show where I was booked as the challenger for one of Empire Pro's top titles and a show were I'm not even booked to wrestle, that choice was an easy one I'm afraid.

Harper comments with a shrug.

Harper: But Jessie is at the Sin City Wrestling show and she'll be reporting on tonight's happenings to me, but let's talk about next week, shall we?

Harper adds as she brushes some hair over her shoulder.

Harper: Look, I understand that the card for next week's show is ultimately in the hands of Mark and Christian but I am eager to continue my momentum from High Stakes, I'll take anyone on! Sam, Mercedes, Bella, Bobbie, Luna.

Harper pauses as she considers the next name she's about to drop,

Harper: Heck! Even my trainer Roxi Johnson!

Harper sighs.

Harper: I'm gonna end up regretting throwing that idea out there, aren't it?

Harper adds as she lets out a deep breath.

Harper: "To make a long story short? With December 2 Dismember IV coming up fast, I am looking to impress the bosses even more at each opportunity! See you next week!

Harper turns off the camera as the scene fades.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall… introducing first… being accompanied by his wife Melissa and Kat Jones, standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 239 pounds!!!

The words fade as we hear the guitar play from the legendary singer before Johnny Cash starts to sing. This brings out Melissa and Kat Jones upon the entrance ramp, both stand on either side before Goth walks out wearing a dark overall and a mask with a crown of thorns attached to it as he stares towards the ring.

Justin: Currently residing from Manhattan, New York!!! He is the Messiah of Pain!!!!! Goth!!!!

Goth raises his head towards the air as he extends his arms, both Melissa and Kat walk towards the ring as he follows them shortly towards the ring. The two women walk up the ramp as they open up the ropes for Goth. He slowly steps through the ropes before the lights go down when Johnny Cash sings that There Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down. The lights come back up again as Goth has taken off the overall and can be seen standing in the middle of the ring still wearing the crown. Melissa slowly takes it off as this gives Goth the chance to look at the entrance ramp to await his opponent.

Justin: and his opponent… hailing from Manhatton, New York… Austin James Mercer…

The lights shut off as "Madusa" by Times of grace kicks in, as it builds different lights flash around the arena. As the song builds into the refrain and the guitars kick in a spotlight forms on the stage with Austin standing in the middle. He makes his way down to the ring before moving around to the steps, he makes his way up and walks across the apron before stepping between the ropes, he stands in the center of the ring as the music shuts off

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

DING DING DING!

Goth and Mercer take a moment in their corners before stepping out and move around the ring, where they use the ropes to warm up. Goth moves to the centre of the ring as he waits for Mercer, who uses the ropes briefly to stretch his arms and back before stepping forward as Goth watches him. Goth urges Mercer forward and he hesitantly moves forward, where they lock up and then jockey for position. The push and try to get the upper hand but neither do and Goth breaks and counters into a waist lock but Mercer quickly counters that into one of his own and then from there they exchange two counters each before Mercer drops down and hits an arm drag. Goth looks up surprised as Mercer climbs back to his feet.

Simone: Both men… well more Mercer hesitant to start this match but they get going and lock up, where they jockey for position before Goth breaks and locks in a waist lock but Mercers counters.

Adams: And more counters until Mercer puts a stop it with an arm drag, which Goth looks surprised.

Mercer backs off as Goth exchanges a few words with the ref before making his way back to his feet, as he moves around the ring, as Mercer watches him and stays where he is. Goth approaches but quickly backs off as he and Mercer circle the ring once more before moving in and briefly lock up before Mercer breaks and grabs Goth into a headlock, where he drops to a knee to add pressure before adjusting his feet. Goth grabs at Mercers hands as Mercer adjusts his grip and footing again, as Goth is on one knee with his hand on the mat before making his way to his feet as Mercer refuses to rise and keeps the headlock in place.

Adams: Mercer is back to his feet, as he and Goth exchange a few words. As both take a few moments. As they circle the ring before moving in and locking up but Mercer breaks and grabs Goth into a headlock and works Goth over. He changes his stance a few times making sure Goth can't give up.

Goth grabs a handful of hair and pulls backwards at the same time dragging Mercer back, where they hit the ropes and Goth pushes Mercer away and Mercer bounces off the ropes and goes for a shoulder block, but Goth doesn't go down and instead stumbles back into the ropes and as he moves forward, Mercer hits a drop toe hold sending Goth down to the mat. Mercer grabs Goth's arm pull it back before rolling onto his back and then onto his knees, which puts Goth's arm into an awkward position and pins it down to the mat.

Simone: Goth grabs a handful of hair and drags Mercer backwards and into the ropes, where Goth pushes him away and Mercer bounces off the ropes and as he comes back, he hits a shoulder block, but Goth doesn't drop but stumbles back and bounces off the ropes, but Mercer hits a drop toe hold.

Adams: He then grabs Goth's arm and begins to work it.

Mercer grins before making his way to his feet and forces Goth up to his feet, where he adjusts his grip on Goth's wrist and gives it an extra tweak before yanking down hard, which forces Goth down to his knees. Goth grimaces in pain, as he slowly makes his was to his feet. He grabs at Mercer hands and then shoulder but Mercer brings Goth's arm up and over his head and then twists and bring his arm around into a hammerlock.

Adams: Mercer pulls Goth to his feet, where he works over the arm and wrist. He gives it a hard yank and forces Goth down this his knees. Both rises back up as he seeks to find a way out but can't as Mercer locks in a hammerlock.

Goth grimaces in pain but powers through as he looks over his shoulder as he takes a few steps around before firing his free arm and elbow into the side of Mercer's head. Mercer stumbles away holding his head, as Goth gives his arm a shake before turning and approaching Mercer who is still reeling from the forearm shot and he grabs him and then hits a forearm shot that rocks Mercer, Goth shakes his arm with the slight distraction from that, Mercer grabs him and drags him into the corner and follows up with a forearm arm of his own, as Goth quicky counters and hits a forearm and they swap again and Mercer hits a forearm and Goth grabs and goes to counter but Mercer counters the counter and fires in a forearm shot then a chop and then another forearm shot, then chop and them a forearm shot and then another chop before Goth drops down to the mat.

Simone: Ouch! What an elbow to Mercer's head. He is rocked from it.

Adams: Indeed. But not enough, as Goth gives his arm a shake before moving to Mercer where he hits a forearm shot on Mercer. Goth continues to try and recover some more, and this distraction gives Mercer an opening and he counters.

Simone: Then between them do more counters with Mercer getting the upper hand and drops Goth after forearm shots and chops.

Mercer smirks as Goth gives him a shove away but doesn't go very far and he moves back in and grabs Goth's arm once more as he lifts it up and over his and twists before stepping forward onto the ropes as he looks to send Goth across the ring but Goth counters and sends Mercer hard into the corner and Goth goes to follow up but Mercer gets an elbow up and this rocks Goth and he drops to a knee, as Mercer leaps up onto the middle turnbuckle and as Goth makes his way to his feet and grabs the ropes and Mercer leaps off and brings a forearm down across Goth's arm.

Adams: Mercer grabs Goth and goes back to work on the wrist and arm before looking to send Goth across the ring but Goth counters and sends him into the corner. Goth rushes in but Mercer gets an elbow up and Goth stumbles away holding his face.

Simone: Mercer climbs the middle turnbuckle and watches and waits and as Goth climbs to his feet, Mercer leaps off and catches Goth's arm.

Goth again drops to his knees and stumbles away but quickly makes his way to his feet and he approaches Mercer, but Mercer delivers a kick to his stomach before kicking Goth in the chest, which pops him up and Mercer grabs Goth's hand and hits the "Ode to lisa" (Ripcord Lariat AKA the rainmaker) as then goes for a cover…

Simone: Goth is in pain. As Mercer delivers a kick and then follows up with ripcord lariet and then goes for a cover…

ONE!

TWO!

Th…kickout!

Mercer shakes his head, as he tries again…

Adams: Goth kicks out…

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Mercer slaps the mat, as he makes his way to his feet and then he grabs Goth's foot as he looks to make Goth tap, but Goth begins to kick out with his free leg and catches Mercer on the hand a few times and Mercer drops Goth's foot and Goth rolls away and grabs the ropes. As Mercer goes to approach Goth but the ref keeps Mercer back as Goth sits up and takes his time.

Simone: Goth kicks out again, as Mercer looks for the figure four but Goth kicks his feet about and forces Mercer to abandon his attempt at a submission.

Mercer complains to the ref who merely shrugs, as Goth expels some air before making his way to his feet, as he flex his arm some as Mercer rushes in and Goth is ready for him and he sends Mercer up and over the top rope, where he lands on the apron. Mercer goes for a wild swing but Goth ducks and then drives a shoulder into Mercer's stomach. Mercer drops to a knee and Goth takes a step back and hits a superkick to Mercer.

Adams: Goth is struggling here… as takes a moment with a rope break before making his way to his feet and Mercer rushes him but Goth sends him up and over the ropes to the apron and Goth follows up with a superkick and Mercer disappears off the apron to the mat.

Mercer falls backwards and onto the mat, as Goth climbs through the ropes onto the apron before leaping off and hits a knee drop onto Mercer stomach. Goth rolls away before slowly climbing to his feet, as Mercer holds his torso as he sucks him some air. Goth moves towards Mercer and grabs him and pulls him up, where he sets up and locks in a abdominal stretch as he looks up at the ref who was yelling at Goth to bring the action into the ring but gives up an starts a count…

Simone: Mercer is rocked as Goth hits a knee drop before locking Mercer into an Abdominal stretch

ONE!

TWO!

Goth drives an elbow into Mercer torso, as Mercer grimaces in pain.

THREE!

FOUR!

Mercer shakes his head, as he places an elbow on Goth's leg and grinds his elbow in, as Goth drives his elbow into Mercer's torso again to stop his action.

Adams: Mercer tries to make Goth to release the hold but Goth doesn't.

FIVE!

SIX!

Goth releases his stretch and spins Mercer around and deliver a short arm clothesline, which drops Mercer.

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

Goth grabs Mercer and pulls him up and rolls him back into the ring, where he follows close behind, he climbs to his feet, where he grabs Mercer and pulls him up, where he grabs him around the waist and then lifts him up into Brain Buster position, but Mercer begins to unbalance himself and quickly drops down behind Goth, where he spins Goth around and drives his head forward into his chest. Goth stumbles backwards and drops to a knee holding his chest.

Simone: Goth doesn't go for the pin, as he instead looks to finish Mercer but Mercer wriggles free and he drops down behind him and then spins him around and drives his head forward.

Mercer approaches Goth and pulls him up and Goth shoves him away and Mercer steps forward and Goth delivers a forearm shot and Mercer returns the favour, where it descends into a brief brawl as they exchange pushes before Goth drives a knee into Mercer's stomach and then grabs his head and hits the Goth Drop (Twist of Fate).

Adams: Brief brawl before Goth drives a knee into Mercers stomach and then hits the twist of fate.

Goth then rolls Mercer onto his stomach and proceeds to tie up Mercer in the Gothic Nightmare (bulldog choke). Mercer tries to wriggle free but can't as Goth tightens his grip and Mercer taps out.

Simone: Goth looks to make Mercer tap.

Adams: and he does.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via submission… Goth.

Goth's music hits over the p.a, as he releases Mercer before rolling away as he slowly makes his way to his feet as the ref moves in and raises his hand in victory as Melissa and Kat Jones join him in the ring.




We are switched backstage where Bill and Bea Barnhart are standing outside their dressing room ready to make their way to the staging area for Bill's entrance for his match. Bill is in his normal wrestling attire while Bea is wearing her trademarked light blue dress she wears when serving at the Manager for Bill during his matches.

Scott: Well, Bill, here we go again with you being involved in another Roulette Championship match. Although I will give you credit that you have held the Roulette Championship two times I also have to mention that you have had more than a half-dozen chances to obtain the Roulette Championship and failed. What makes you so sure you will succeed this time?

Bill: Because I am the anointed one and I am destined to be a three-time Roulette Champion.

Scott: Seriously? Is that all you have to go on?

Bill: That's all I need Scott.

Scott decides to switch from talking to Bill as he turns his attention to Bea.

Scott: Bea you are serving as Manager for Bill in his match against Peter Vaughn and Jack Washington. Can we have your assurance that you will not interfere in this match?

Bea: Although I serve as Bill's manager for his matches I do not interfere in his matches unless his opponent, or opponents, initiate the illegal actions first so you can stop with your dumb comments. Also, Scott, we have to take into consideration what the rules and stipulations of this Triple Threat Roulette Champion are. If it is an anything goes, weapons are available for use, and there is a win only by pinfall, submission, or knockout, but things like a count-out with a wrestler on the outside of the ring, or failure to release a hold when the Referee asks for it, not counting as a reason for a win then pretty much it is classified as anything goes.

Scott: If I interpret what you said correctly that means you are admitting that you will interfere in Bill's match to help him obtain the win.

Bea: Since you refuse to listen to my comments and my logic I no longer wish to waste my time talking to you before Bill's match.

Scott: What? I am simply asking questions to see what the answers are! Oh well. Bill I will return to you if you don't mind me asking you several more questions.

Bill: Sorry, Scott, but you insulted my wife and Manager Bea and that is several steps over the line of being insulting and rude. Come on Bea! Let's get out of the presence of Scott Oliver and get to the staging area to be ready for our entrance.

Bill and Bea head off down the hallway to get to the staging area to be ready for their entrance for the Triple Threat Roulette Championship match. When the camera returns to focus on Scott Oliver we can see the dazed look on his face as he has just been schooled by Bill and Bea Barnhart.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the three competitors in tonight's Roulette Title Match, Bill Barnhart, Jack Washington and the champion Peter Vaughn waiting to see what match type they will get.

Simone: Peter Vaughn successfully retained the Roulette Title over Rodrigo Afonso in a submission match at High Stakes but now he's facing two men who have been in SCW forever in Bill Barnhart and Jack Washington.

Adams: He's faced both men before and with mixed results, will this be the night his reign ends?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?

The three men nod and Rocky spins the wheel, after a few minutes it stops on…….

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Briefcase Bonanza? Huh, been a while since that came up.

Simone: Wasn't that the match type that kickstarted Krystal's Roulette Title Reign?

Adams: Yeah, it last appeared at Into the Void X in 2021, the title will be hidden in one of three briefcases and the three men will get a chance to open the briefcase for each pin, the last time this match came up signalled the start of a record breaking Roulette Title Reign, will this mark the end of a dominant reign?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck gentlemen.

Bill, Jack and Peter walk off to prepare as the scene fades.




Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and the first of tonight's two title matches! Peter Vaughn has been a dominant champion but tonight his reign faces its toughest challenge yet as he takes on two former champions! Former Internet and World Champion Jack Washington and former Roulette and Mixed Tag Team Champion "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Adams: And just to make things interesting, the Roulette Wheel landed on a stipulation that hasn't been seen since 2021, the Briefcase Bonanza Match! The Roulette Title is NOT with Peer at the moment, it is contained within one of those three briefcases and it has to be claimed to get the win! However, each wrestler must score a pin on each other to get a chance to claim it! The last time this stipulation came up, it marked the beginning of Krystal Wolfe's near year long title reign with the Bombshell Roulette Title, will history repeat itself for either Jack Washington or Bill Barnhart? Or will Peter retain?

Simone: One way to find out, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following is a Triple Threat Roulette Rules Match scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Roulette Championship! Thanks to a spin of the Wheel it was determined that this will be a Briefcase Bonanza Match!

The camera pans over to show the three briefcases.

Justin: The rules are simple, the Roulette Title is in one of those three briefcases, the one to retrieve the title will win the match and either retain the title or lose the title! However, each competitor must score a pinfall or submission win on each opponent before they can try to claim the title.

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

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

Justin: Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas, weighing 185ibs he is the reigning and defending SCW Roulette Champion, "THE MECHANIC" PETER VAUGHN!

After Vaughn finishes speaking, he begins to laugh. His laughter carries on as the Tron video overtakes his image, beginning with "This Time It's Different" by Evans Blue. Vaughn comes out from the back, smiling at the reaction he's getting. He stops on the ramp, surveying the hatred from the crowd. From Vaughn's reaction, you'd think they were chanting his name, as he walks down the aisle with a cocky smile. He heads straight through the ropes and into his corner, stretching and preparing for a fight.

Simone: Peter turned away Rodrigo Afonso in a brutal Submission Match at High Stakes but now he faces two follow veterans of the sport!

Adams: Bill and Jack would be tough competition for him separately but together? And don't forget, Jack and Peter are currently tied with a win and a loss each, this could be a tie breaker!

Justin: Introducing the challengers!

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. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart.

Justin: First, from Lawrenceville, Georgie, weighing 240bs, "BULLDOG" BILL BARNHART!

The three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to Bea so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.

Simone: Not the first time Bill has wrestled Peter for the title, as for Jack? I can't remember if they've ever faced.

Adams: Considering how long they've been in SCW? I'll be surprised if they haven't crossed paths at some point!

"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.

Justin: And from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing 235ibs, JACK WASHINGTON!

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.

Simone: Jack is a force to be reckoned with but he has yet to hold the Roulette Title!

Adams: With his win over Peter? There's a good chance that he'll be the one to end the reign tonight! But you can't discount Bill!

Dawn tries to explain the rules to the three men but Peter has left the ring and made his way over to the briefcases, he grabs one and Bill goes after him only to get clobbered over the head with it! Jack follows but he ducks the briefcase shot before he starts brawling with the champ (causing him to drop the briefcase in the process) and Dawn calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: I should stress that this is under normal Triple Threat Rules during the match portion, but I suppose there was nothing against using the briefcase as a weapon before the match!

Adams: Though that does beg the question, what would've happened if either Peter, Bill, or Jack's attack had caused the briefcase to open and the Roulette Title fell out?

Whilst Bill recovers and Jack and Peter brawl a stage hand quickly returns the briefcase to the podium that it was sitting atop of and by that point Bill has recovered enough to return to the ring, biding his time for an opportunity to attack either Jack or Peter, quickly realizing that he'd be in for a long wait though Bill decides to speed up the process by going over to the ring ropes and hitting his two smaller opponents with a Springboard Cross Body.

Simone: It's not often that we see Bill take flight but considering his size? He can put some considerable weight behind it when he feels like it.

Adams: Something that both Peter and Jack just found out.

As the three men recover on the outside Bill picks up Peter and throws him into the ring, once Bill follows him in he goes for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: First pinfall to Bill Barnhart!

Bill: 1

Peter: 0

Jack: 0

Simone: That was fast.

Adams: Makes sense though, these early pinfalls won't matter, it's when Peter, Bill and Jack are at two pins apiece that they need to be cautious.

Even Bill seems surprised at how easy he got that first pinfall but when he realizes Peter's reasoning he picks up the Roulette Champion and goes for the Barnhart Shoulder Breaker hoping to extend the early lead on his opponents, however Peter still has the energy left in him to elbow Bill in the face sending him stumbling back and leaving Bill open to a roll-up from Jack who has just returned to the ring.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: First pinfall to Jack Washington!

Bill: 1

Peter: 0

Jack: 1

Simone: And now both challengers are ahead of the champion by a point, though considering their strategies? I don't see that lasting long!

Adams: Bill, Jack, and Peter are veterans, they know what they are doing in there!

Peter quickly realizes that he's fallen behind and tries to change that, charging at both of his challengers and nailing them with a double dropkick knocking both men down and in Jack's case? Almost to the outside though he just about manages to hold onto the top rope and avoids falling to the outside, peter wastes little time in pouncing on Bill delivering stiff shots to the veteran's face before turning him over and locking in a Triangle Choke.

Simone: that's the hold he used to retain the title over Rodrigo at High Stakes!

Adams: Will it pay off for Peter again? He needs to get a point on the board before Bill and Jack pull too far ahead of him!

Jack seems to be setting up for a move of some kind but before he can execute the move Bill taps out to reserve his strength.

DING DING DING!

Justin: First fall to Peter Vaughn!

Bill: 1

Peter: 1

Jack: 1

Simone: And just like that, the three men are at one fall apiece.

Adams: Peter, Jack, and Bill just need one point each before they can go for the briefcases!

Peter lets go off the hold but before he can plan his next move Jack executes a Springboard Frog Splash knocking the wind out of Peter and hitting Bill as well! Knowing that he already has a pin on Bill Jack quickly covers the champ!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Second pinfall to Jack Washington

Bill: 1

Peter: 1

Jack: 2

Simone: And just like that, Jack has pulled ahead!

Adams: He's eyeing up those briefcases like a kid on Christmas morning! But Bill and Peter need to pin him once each before they can open their briefcases.

Peter retreats to a corner to regroup as does Bill but when Jack makes a move towards the briefcases Dawn steps in and reminds him off the rules of the match, Jack frowns when he hears this and turns around looking for Bill or Peter but can find neither, at least for a second before Bill comes from out of nowhere with a pounce! Bill goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Second pinfall to Bill Barnhart!

Bill: 2

Peter: 1

Jack: 2

Simone: And now both challengers are ahead of Peter!

Adams: He's going to have to act fast if he wants to catch up witch Jack and Bill!

And act fast he does before Bill doesn't even get a chance to get off Jack before Peter comes from nowhere with a Shooting Star Press! Peter covers both men by putting his hands on Bill's back!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Second AND third pinfall goes to Peter Vaughn, now all three men can go for the briefcases.

Simone: I'm surprised that counted really.

Adams: Rules never said hat the same opponent couldn't be pinned more than twice! But now all three men are eligible to go for the gold!

Being the freshest man out of the three Peter leaves the ring first and quickly decides on a briefcase, he is told by Dawn to wait for Jack and Bill to join him and once they do, they pick their briefcases, Peter takers the one on the right, Jack takes the middle and Bill takes the one on the left (same one Peter attacked him with no less), on three all three men open their briefcases and remain stoic as they look at it's contents.

Before Peter retrieves the Roulette Title from his briefcase.

DING DING DING!

Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL SCW ROULETTE CHAMPION "THE MECHANIC" PETER VAUGHN!

Simone: Peter retains in this unique match type, wonder if it'll be another two years before we see this match again?

Adams: More importantly, who can take the title from him now?

Peter celebrates with his title as Jack and Bill look on.




The camera cuts backstage once again but this time to Hot Stuff Mark Ward and Christian Underwood's office to see a bunch of papers, pens, and other office supplies scattered all over the floor. The camera moves around a bit before seeing Hot Stuff Mark Ward walk into his office with a perplexed frown on his face at the mess on the floor.

HS: …The hell?

After a few seconds, Myles pops up from behind Hot Stuff Mark Ward's desk with a frown on his face as he looks at Hot Stuff Mark Ward.

Myles: Where is it!?

Another confused look passes over the boss' face as Myles doesn't seem to back down.

HS: Where…is what?

Myles gives Hot Stuff Mark Ward a rather annoyed look as if he should know what Myles was talking about.

Myles: My award! You refused to give it to me two weeks ago, so I'm here to collect it now. But I can't find it.

Myles gives him a pointed look.

Myles: My mom was right, you are delusional.

A slightly amused look passes over the boss' face as he just folds his arms over his chest and watches the four-year-old for a moment.

HS: Me? Delusional?

Myles nods his head as he moves to stand up on Hot Stuff Mark Ward's desk to make himself taller.

Myles: That's what her said.

He nods his head with a firm look.

Myles: And if you don't give me my most improved award, I'm going to lock more superstars in closets so they miss their matches! You saw what we did to Oz, we can do it to more stars!

The boss doesn't have much time to respond as Mikah walks into the office, holding Ridley in her arms and gives Myles a look.

Mikah: Myles Nicholas, I have been looking everywhere for you. We have to have a talk.

Mikah then looks around at the office and frowns at the mess on the floor and gives Hot Stuff Mark Ward a look.

Mikah: You really need to get a new office assistant or lean to clean up after yourself, bossman.

Mikah smirks at him before patting him on the shoulder as Myles climbs down off of the desk and walks around to his mother, begrudgingly.

Myles: I mean it, mister.

Myles narrows his eyes at the taller man before Mikah leads the four-year-old out of the office.




Bobbie and Artie are seen walking backstage after her match against Bella Madison. Bobbie looks tired, but none the worse for wear as she keeps a smile on her face after a successful return to the ring. They are chatting amongst themselves when Pussy Willow approaches them, looking for a quick word with Bobbie.

Pussy: Hey, Bobbie, congratulations on your first win back to the ring. I'm sure you are satisfied with how you did out there?

Bobbie shrugs but nods.

Bobbie: I mean, I got the win so I can't complain. Not that I would anyway, because Bella gave me a run for my money. But onwards and upwards!

Pussy smiles and nods. Artie remains supportively quiet.

Pussy: Speaking of which, you have said a couple of times over the last weeks that you were going to address your future plans and goals now that you are back in SCW. And it had something to do with…

Bobbie: Alexandra Calaway.

Pussy: Exactly. I guess we all assumed that your business with Alexandra was finished after your match at Summer XXXTreme. Care to shed some light on what you are planning?

Bobbie looks to Artie. He raises his eyebrows and gives her a look that says this is all her and she turns back to face Pussy and the camera.

Bobbie: It's no secret that I lost to Alexandra in our last go around, but I wasn't focused as I should have been. I was distracted and I had a lot going on, and I didn't give Alexandra one hundred percent like I should have. It's time to correct that and show her what I can really do when I'm focused.

Pussy: And you think Alexandra will even agree to it? She might be past all that and want to do other things. She is, after all, the Bombshell Roulette Champion.

Bobbie chuckles and nods.

Bobbie: Oooh I am well aware, and that is all part of the plan. You see, I've never held a championship, Pussy. I've tried, but I've failed and that is one more thing I want to change. And I'm going to, no matter how long it takes. I don't expect Mark and Christian to give me a chance right off the bat, but as long as I work hard and keep proving that I deserve it? I'll get it. No matter what Alexandra says. The ball isn't in her court. She's got a target on her back, and I've got the bow and arrow.

Bobbie grins and winks into the camera. She takes Artie's hand and leads him away before Pussy Willow can ask anything further.




Julianna is with the SCW Bombshells World Championship in her own locker room. Noticeably, there aren't any party favors and there doesn't appear to be any hints of any form of celebration at this point. Julianna recognizes that as she looks around the room, but she's not looking bothered at all. Her confidence is absolutely not wavering as she begins to express her thoughts.

Julianna: Look, I wanted there to be a celebration on this night. Trust me! I'm from San Diego, I know how to throw a hell of a party. Of course, when you consider the circumstances, then that's going to have to be postponed… at least for a week. But, that's fine. Courtney was so adamant on having this rematch so damn soon and I'm not going to harp on that. It's her choice and also her undoing. She can admit that she let her guard down all she wants, but that's not going to change a thing. The only thing that is different between now and High Stakes is that this match is going to be 'anything goes'. This isn't a pure wrestling match… you know… like High Stakes… in which I did make her tap out. I stand by what I said going in and I especially stand by it now considering her behavior since then.

And if I have to beat her again, then I WILL beat her again and I have every confidence in myself to do so because no matter what she WANTS you to think, the fact of the matter is that she STILL doesn't know the first thing about me. She couldn't even give me credit for getting the victory. No, let's just reach for things out of thin air and make the same fucking mistake that she made going into High Stakes to begin with. Let's talk about all these irrelevant things that don't matter, that don't actually make any case at all for why she's a better wrestler than me.

No, let's waste our time bleating about who says what on social media or what type of things are posted on there.

Let's waste time making much ado about nothing. Because surely, posting non-SCW stuff on social media proves that you don't 'bleed Sin City' and as a result, that makes me "undeserving" of holding this championship.

Courtney, even though you may as well win tonight… and you won't by the way… you still don't get it…

You still don't get ME…

That's what resulted in the situation that you find yourself in to begin with and that's what is going to have you finding yourself in the back of the line by the time this is all said and done. If you want to stalk me on social media and try to make nothingburgers out of what I post on there… I mean I guess you HAVE TO since you have nothing relevant to talk about when it comes to me… then that's your prerogative. Last I checked, championship matches are won inside the ring, not 280 characters.

Julianna pauses and rolls her eyes in a sarcastic manner.

Julianna: You do realize that SCW Bombshell World Champions… or hell… anyone that has won any title here, before us either were in other companies while they were in SCW or made their names before and after they were here right?

You want to stay stuck on these piddly little things that don't matter while I've been focusing on finishing this! Sorry NOT sorry that I don't post 25 different things on social media about this match while you circle above like a damn vulture hoping I say something for you to use against me in your promo because you don't have the heart or the passion to even STUDY ME and know who I am and what I am all about. I mean for fuck's sake Courtney, you could've at least mentioned my father and made some quip about how he didn't pull out fast enough! I mean, it would've been DUMB, but at least you would've been using something RELEVANT that pertains to me.

No, let's just focus on what Julianna does on social media and use THAT to show the world that she doesn't deserve her title.

I DO deserve it! I EARNED IT! I earned it by beating you and no matter what the outcome is tonight, you're NEVER going to erase it and you're NEVER going to take that away from me. I'm not some prissy little princess bitch wearing glass slippers around here. I'm NOT going to be one of those fly by night world champions that disappears into the dead of night the moment something goes wrong and then be completely forgotten about.

I AM the real deal, Courtney and that's just a fact you can't accept.

I AM here for the long haul.

I AM here to bleed this company.

I don't need 50 tweets a week to prove that. I've done nothing but prove that the moment I came into this company for the first time.

Even if in the eyes of people that honestly don't matter to me in the long run, I 'don't' prove it was a fluke tonight, I WILL prove that in the long run. I suppose I should say 'sorry not sorry' for wanting to expand my horizons and be a better wrestler in the long run too?

The worst you can do to me is take this from me… but you won't.

And trust me, I've had FAR more devastating losses in my career that I've overcome. I'm the strongest I've ever been Courtney… it's a pity you can't recognize that. We could've torn up this division together considering we're similar in some aspects but that's on you for throwing that away.

In the end? The only validation that I need? It's not from you. It's not from anyone else.

It's from ME…

And I already gave myself that validation when I won this title to begin with.

Hopefully one day you can validate yourself too… maybe then you wouldn't be taking out your self-esteem issues on someone like me who's grown to be better than that shit…

But hey, you can come to my celebration next week if you want…

Julianna shrugs and gives a bit of a scoff before she makes her exit.




Justin: The following contest is your main event and is for the SCW Bombshell World Championship. Introducing first, the challenger!

The opening sirens of "Problem" floods the arena PA as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the beat kicks in, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. 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.

Justin: Making her way to the ring from Long Beach, California, "The One" Court Pierce!

The SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a mostly mixed reaction from the crowd.

Adams: This is gonna be awesome!

Before Courtney can continue her walk, Julianna bursts through the curtain and slams the SCW World Bombshell championship in to the back of Courtney's head!

Adams: The champion isn't wasting time!

Simone: It's a street fight, anything goes, so falls can count anywhere by our rules.

Adams: Or the writer just woke up with evil intentions for this match and just chose violence.

Simone: Eh?

Adams: We've all been there.

Julianna continues the assault and knocks Courtney down to one knee and grabs her hair and smashes forearm shots to her forehead. She looks at Jacob and yells for him to ring the bell. The referee shrugs and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Julianna grabs Courtney by the head and pulls her to her feet and spins her to face her and slaps her hard around the face!

Adams: That was a slap heard in outta space!

Simone: It's no secret these two women do not like each other at all.

Julianna grabs Courtney by the head and pulls her to the top of the stage and drives her face first in to the video wall by the entrance ramp, pulling the former champions head back again and slamming it in to the graphics. Courtney throws an elbow back and catches Julianna in the gut, cutting her off from another attempt and spins up, poking Julianna in the eye.

Adams: And it's no secret that Courtney would use something like that.

Courtney grabs Julianna's head and gives her a taste of her own medicine by slamming her head in to the video screen. Julianna stumbles away and Courtney quickly takes Julianna off her feet with a double legged takedown and starts to pummel hard shots in to her head.

Simone: Stiff shots from Courtney!

Julianna rolls her off but Courtney forces herself back on top of her and the two roll around.

Adams: Getting dangerously close to the edge of the ramp.

Courtney ends up on top and slams a huge fist in to Julianna's head before getting back to her feet. Julianna rolls away and Courtney stands to her feet, looking at Julianna and urging her to get back to her feet as Julianna tries to move away from the edge of the ramp. Julianna stands up and Courtney charges at her with a high kick but Julianna moves out of the way, leaving Courtney off balance and on the edge of the ramp!

Simone: Courtney nearly took herself off the ramp!

Julianna quickly charges at Courtney, crashing in to her, the momentum taking them both off the ramp and crashing below in to an electrical set up, causing sparks and smoke to burst up from below.

Adams: Hooooooooooooly Mahoney!

Simone: These two just went flying off the ramp on to god knows what!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

The camera moves around to see both ladies covered in wood from the broken set up but Courtney starts to crawl out of the wreckage as Julianna looks around dazed. Both women start to throw debris off them and start to move away from it but Julianna tries to pull herself to her feet first but Courtney is up and behind her. Courtney wraps her arms around Julianna and puts her in a straight jacket position before dropping her with a neckbreaker. She pulls herself on top of Julianna and glares at Jacob, yelling at him to count. Jacob drops down and starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

Julianna throws her shoulder up!

Simone: Courtney went for it but Julianna is still in this.

Courtney pulls Julianna to her feet, clearing her away from the wreckage and pulls her through the curtain and in to the backstage area.

Adams: Just a reminder folks..... STREET FIGHT!

Courtney drags Julianna by the hair and in to the open area and throws her across the place as people watch on. Julianna rolls away but Courtney goes for a nearby chair. She picks it up and holds it high before slamming it down on Julianna's back, causing the nearby people to wince. Julianna crawls away again and Courtney tries to swing the chair once more but Julianna rolls out of the way and Courtney slams the chair in to the concrete floor, the vibrations causes Courtney to drop the chair. Julianna gets back to her feet and uses her quickness to get to the side of Courtney and slam her unexpectedly face first with a forward Russian legsweep, crashing her head in to the solid floor. Julianna looks down and pulls up some electrical cables and wraps them around Courtney's throat. Julianna pulls back, choking Courtney.

Simone: If Courtney passes out, this one is over.

Courtney struggles and Julianna puts her knee in Courtney's back, reaching back further and choking her, but Courtney fights her way to her feet, swinging her leg back and catching Julianna in the knee, forcing her to loosen up her grip. Julianna keeps hold of the cables and moves in front of Courtney and whips her over, causing her to land on her back. Julianna looks towards a raised forklift and moves towards it, climbing on the fork and looks down at Courtney. She waits for Courtney to get back to her feet and jumps off with a diving tornado DDT and crashes Courtney's head in to the hard floor! Julianna quickly goes for a pin and Jacob drops down and starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

Courtney just kicks out!

Adams: That one was close!

Courtney untangles herself from the wires but Julianna picks her up and pulls her by the hair, kicking through a door and in to the parking lot.

Simone: When someone said street fight, they wasn't playing.

Adams: People parked there better be insured.

Julianna pulls Courtney to a nearby car and tosses Courtney on top of it. Julianna climbs on top of the car. Julianna lifts Courtney to her feet and hold her hand under her face, yelling at her, before pulling her down in a piledriver position.

Simone: This is going too far.

Julianna lifts her up for a piledriver but Courtney wiggles her legs and forces her feet back down, throwing herself up straight and lifting Julianna up with a back body drop on to the roof of the car. Courtney looks at Julianna with her own evil intentions. Courtney steps up on to the roof of the car and lifts Julianna up. She kicks Julianna in the gut and grabs her by the head and jumps backwards and slams Julianna down with an X-Factor, with Julianna's head hitting the windshield.

Adams: Thank god that didn't break!

Courtney goes for a cover on the hood of the car and Jacob drops down and starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

Julianna just kicks out!

Simone: Courtney thought she had that there.

Adams: After that sickening thump, so did I.

Courtney looks frustrated and kicks Julianna off the car and slides down too, kicking the champion in the ribs. The camera sees Julianna's own blood running down her face.

Simone: The champion is bleeding.

Julianna crawls away but Courtney follows her and pulls her up by the hair. She drags her to a door and throws her through.

Simone: Isn't that the main casino floor?

Adams: Well if it isn't, I don't know where I already lost next weeks pay.

Surprised gamblers turn around as Courtney tries to pull Julianna to her feet and quickly hits her with a hard shot to the jaw, sending Julianna back against a poker table. Julianna glances to her right and quickly grabs a glass and throws the contents in to Courtney's face! Courtney spins around, trying to clear her eyes of the liquid but as she turns back, Julianna smashes the glass in to Courtney's face, causing it to shatter on impact!

Simone: Ok, that was just nasty.

Courtney turns back to show blood running down from her forehead, but Julianna goes on the attack and throws her across the poker table, sending cards, chips and gamblers scattering. Julianna reaches for a handful of chips and places them between her finger. She starts to slam her fist and protruding poker chips in to the bloodied head of Courtney!

Adams: Julianna is trying to open up that wound more and more.

Julianna leans over Courtney, digging the poker chips in to Courtney's head. Julianna stand on the table, looking around at people watching in curiosity and fear and lifts Courtney back to her feet. She looks at her bloodied face, blood running down her own face. Julianna kicks Courtney in the gut and pulls her down in a stump piledriver, the table buckling under their weight and crashing to the floor!

Simone: Those are reinforced casino tables!

Through the rubble, Julianna put her arm across Courtney and Jacob drops down and starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

Courtney just about throws her shoulder up at the last split second!

Simone: Wow!

Adams: I can't believe Courtney got a shoulder up there.

Julianna runs her hand through her hair and pounds the broken table with her fist. She looks at Jacob who holds up two fingers and Julianna kicks away broken wood and poker chips. She gets up and pulls Courtney to her feet and drags her through the casino and slams her head in to a slot machine, Courtney's blood smearing over the win lines. She marches Courtney around the machine and through and emergency door. Julianna throws Courtney towards a closed roller shutter door and charges at the challenger but the challenger moves out of the way and the champion crashes in to the roller shutter. Courtney circles around in front of Julianna and catches her with a quick uppercut. Courtney steps back to get a running start and charges at Julianna and crashes in to her, the two women flying through the roller shutter.

Adams: Christ on a cracker! They just shattered a solid roller shutter door!

Simone: There's nothing these two won't do for that championship.

Jacob stands in shock holding his head before regaining his composure and moving through the gap that the two bombshells have made.

Adams: I think they're in the loading bay right now.

Both women lay on the floor breathing hard before eventually stirring and moving to their knees. Courtney throws a punch towards Julianna as she straightens up but Julianna returns fire with a punch of her own. Courtney hits Julianna again with another punch with heavy arms, only to be met with one coming back in her direction. The two fight their way to their feet on top of a loading ramp and move towards the edge.

Simone: That's a ten foot drop off that ramp on to solid concrete.

Adams: I can't watch this.

Courtney spins Julianna's back to the drop and kicks her in the gut and pulls her in to a powerbomb position.

Simone: Don't do this!

Courtney tries to lift her up but a chair smashes across her back!

Adams: What the hell!?

Courtney crumbles over and the camera spins around to see Ariana Angelos holding the chair!

Simone: What the hell is Ariana doing here?

Adams: There has been some barbs traded with Courtney and Ariana on social media all week. I guess Ariana didn't take the too well!

Courtney turns around and Ariana swings the chair, connecting with both women and sending them backwards off the drop!

Simone: Holy....

The crowd gasp collectively as the crash is heard and Jacob tells Ariana to step away, he looks over the edge and winces before dropping down to make a count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Simone: What the hell?

Adams: Who won?

Jacob starts to speak though an earpiece as the cameraman shuffles to the edge to see Julianna and Courtney laying in a dumpster, with Julianna's arm across the chest of Courtney!

Justin: Here is your winner, and STILL SCW Bombshell World Champion, Julianna DiMaria!

Simone: Holy hell, that was a match and then some.

Adams: These two women ripped each other to pieces!

Simone: And that's the way we end Jason! What a night this has been, but join us next week for some more hard hitting action! For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everyone!

The camera fades to a shot of both Julianna and Courtney motionless in the dumpster.
