The sun is setting over the Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden - just a mile away from the ruins of the most famous war location in history - Troy! A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.
He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around the fairgrounds at all of the fans filling the grandstand and the rows of seats around the grounds itself. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: And welcome to this our latest stop in the 2024 Royal Pain tour! Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers as Amanda walks out, dressed in a Hawaiian print blouse, plaid shorts and knee-high black socks with sandals. The cross dressing hostess lifts her shades up from her eyes and the performance begins.
Amanda: "It might seem crazy, wearing stripes with plaid
"(because I'm tacky)
"I meet some chick, ask her this and that
"(because I'm tacky)
"Bring me shame, can't nothing
"(because I'm tacky)
I instagram every meal I've had
All my used liquor bottles are on display
We can go to see a show but I'll make you pay"
Wear my belt with suspenders and sandals with my socks
(because I'm tacky)
Got some new glitter Uggs and lovely pink sequined crocs
(because I'm tacky)
Never let you forget some favor I did for you
(because I'm tacky)
If you're okay with that, then, you might just be tacky, too"
Like 'Are you pregnant girl, or just really fat?' (what?)
Well, now I'm dropping names almost constantly
That's what Kanye West keeps telling me, here's why"
Wear my Ed Hardy shirt with fluorescent orange pants
(because I'm tacky)
Got my new resume it's printed in Comic Sans

Bring me shame, I never know why

Bring me shame, can't nothing
Bring me shame, I said"
43 Bumper Stickers and a YOLO license plate

Took the whole bowl of restaurant mints. Hey, it said they're free
(because I'm tacky)
I get drunk at the bank
And take off my shirt, at least
(because I'm tacky)
I would live-tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased
(because I'm tacky)
If I'm bitten by a zombie, I'm probably not telling you
(because I'm tacky)
If you don't think that's bad, guess what, then you're tacky, too"
The crowd raises glasses to toast Amanda, applauding and cheering as she prances around the stage, blowing kisses to one and all before disappearing behind the curtains.
The camera transitions next to the ringside area where we join Belinda Simone and Jason Adams at the broadcast table.
Simone: Hello and welcome to Climax Control, I'm Belinda Simone.
Adams: And I'm Jason Adams.
Simone: Six big matches and we start with a huge six man tag. The odd pairing of Justin Smith, Bill Barnhart and The Troll take on the SCW power trio, Kevin Carter, J2H and Alexander Raven.
Adams: No doubt we'll heard from Bill in a few, but next up, we will have two of the top women in the world, where Alexandra Calaway goes up against Andrea Hernandez.
Simone: That will be a hell of a match. Triple Threat action follows that as Bobbie Dahl gets a chance to bounce back, but she will be facing Seleana Zdunich and Mercedes Vargas.
Adams: Bobbie can bounce. I went jogging with her once and she nearly ended up with two black eyes. Forth up, SCW World Heavyweight champion, Finn Whelan takes on Aiden Reynolds in a non title match, but should Aiden win, that will rocket him right to the top.
Simone: Number one contenders match happens next as Raine and Prudence Pierce have earned their way in to this match and they're one step away from getting a shot at the Bombshell Internet championship at Violent Conduct.
Adams: And the men follow suit as Kris Ryans and Eddie Lyons overcame great odds in their proving ground series to fight one on one. The prize for the winner, a match with Finn Whelan at Violent Conduct for the SCW World Heavyweight championship.
Simone: All this and more on Climax Control.
Adams: Record time! LET'S GO!
The roving camera person comes to the dressing room where Bill and Bea Barnhart are located. They knock on the dressing room door hoping that Bill and Bea are in the room. After a short time the dressing room door opens and we get a shot of Bill and Bea Barnhart. They invite the camera person into their dressing room and the camera person sets up their camera while Bill and Bea take a seat on the couch.
Bill: Shortly we will make our way to the entrance area and our opening match will begin. Although I do not expect any support or good wrestling skills to be displayed by my tag team partners, Justin Smith and The Troll, you can be assured that my performance will be outstanding as always.
Bea: As the Manager of Bill I will be in his corner to ensure the match is called legally by the Referee and that their opponents, J3H, Kevin Carter, and Alexander Raven, adhere to the rules.
Bill: Although it is difficult to wrestle in a match like this when I am teamed with two incompetent tag team partners who cannot punch their way out of a wet paper bag I plan on giving a great performance in our match.
Bea: It will be interesting to see how this match goes. If everyone adheres to the rules, and the Referee calls the match properly, either team can obtain the win.
A backstage attendant steps into the dressing room to inform Bill and Bea they need to get to the Staging Area as their match will begin in a few minutes. Bill and Bea stand up and walk into the hallway then head off to where the stating area is located. At this point the camera person cuts their camera feed.
The cameras were starting to settle at the ringside area. It was officially time for the first contest of the night. 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: The following contest is a six man tag team match and it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first at this time. From Tarrytown, New York. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty pounds. 'The Tarrytown Tormenter' JUSTIN SMITH!
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.
Denis Leary's "Im An Asshole" plays and the crowd boos as the rotund and hyperactive "know-it-all" of professional wrestling, the Troll, runs onto the stage as fast as he can (which altogether isn't that fast), accompanied by Kat Jones. He has an annoying, excited look on his face as he pumps his arms, greeted by the boos of the fans, while Kat smiles and politely claps her hands for him.
Justin: Introducing his tag team partner. From Parts Unknown. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty two pounds. Being accompanied to the ring by Kat Jones!... THE TROLL!
The Troll points into the ring, taking offense at the "lies" about his grandiose weight being made public. He then "jogs" down to the ring, holding his hands out for high-fives but receives none while Kat casually strolls down to ringside behind him. While Kat remains ringside, the Troll struggles up onto the ring apron and climbs through the ropes, catching his shoe on the middle rope and face plants in the ring, much to the laughter of the crowd. The Troll then gets to his feet and pumps his arms again until he is herded back to his corner.
"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 English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar.
Justin: And their tag team partner. Coming out of Lawrenceville, Georgia. Weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds. 'The Bulldog' BILL BARNHART!
When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.
The lights begin to dim as the opening melody of "Watch The World Burn" plays through the speakers. Alexander Raven slowly steps out onto the stage, metal pipe in one hand. He comes to a stop at the center of the top of the ramp, and looks over the crowd. A cacophony of boos raining down on him. A smile spreads across his face, as he taps the pipe against his temple lightly.
Justin: Now introducing their opponents. First up on the team. From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds. The Napalm Kingslayer and SCW Roulette Champion, ALEXANDER RAVEN!
As the song kicks into gear, he slowly begins to walk down the ramp. A slow, measured stride taking his time. As he walks down he swings the pipe towards the outstretched hands of the fans at ringside. Threatening to take their heads off if they get too close. As he gets to the step he stops and bounces from side to side. Further boos and disdain from the raucous crowd.
'I'll brandish a weapon, teach all you motherfuckers a lesson.'
He slams the pipe down several times on the steps, before throwing it down right next to them, climbing the steps rapidly. Walking the length of the apron to his right, he wipes his feet aggressively on the apron, before stepping between the top and middle ropes. The crowd roar their displeasure as he runs to the opposite ropes, throwing his arms out wide to his sides bathing in the vitriol. He checks the buttons at his wrists on his shirt and begins to slowly pace the rampside of the ring.
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 riff. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung, J2H confidently walks out on to the stage with Austin Parker.
Justin: And his tag team partner. From Beverly Hills, California. Weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds and being Accompanied to the ring by Austin Parker. The Living Legend and SCW Hall of Famer. He is J2H!
Austin is wearing faded blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots and hat, as he walks slightly in front of the shirtless J2H, wearing gold shorts, boots and knee pads with "J2H" written on the back of the shorts. 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 into 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 looks to the sky before looking down and round the fan, cockiness dripping from the young man. He then turns and backs into the corner with Alexander.
The venue was filled with an excited crowd. Lots and lots of cheers. As well as chatter could be heard throughout as they were all patiently awaiting the next bit of action to take place. There was a sudden dim of the venue lights. Only to be replaced with the flashes of green and white strobe lights. All while the opening to "The Devil In I" by SlipKnot began to play over the speaker system. Those first couple of notes had the crowd's tune changing. Boos ringing out heavily and for no other reason than they were not the least bit pleased with who was about to make their way out.
Only a few seconds had passed before the camera angle had changed just in time to see the curtain being pushed aside and the man of the hour stepping through said curtain. In an all black zip up hoodie with the hood up was none other than the Entity of Sin City Wrestling, Kevin Carter. He stood there at the top of the makeshift ramp with a glare in his eyes while glaring out at the booing fans. His facial expressions said it all. Feeling a certain amount of disgust in having to be before them, but he just ignored their boos as he began to make his journey down to the ring.
Justin: And now introducing their tag team partner at this time. From the most vile part of Los Angeles, California. Weighing in at two hundred and eighteen pounds. He is a true Scumbag. The Entity of Sin City Wrestling, KEVIN CARTER!
By the time the proper introduction had come to an end from Justin, he had reached the ringside area. A short little jog Kevin leaped onto the ring apron planting his right knee pad into the mat and using the ropes to pull himself up to a vertical basis on the ring apron. The boos seemed to have only gotten louder in those few moments he made his way down to the ring. As he stood there the man proceeded to bring both his hands up in the air with a middle finger on each hand. As one would have expected, it didn't do Kevin any favors. Not by a long shot.
All types of comments were starting to be hurled in his direction along with those boos. Kevin smirked with hatred as he lowered his hands and then gripped the top rope with his left hand before swinging one leg over the middle rope. Ducking down under the top rope to finish climbing into the ring. In a true prick fashion, he took what appeared to be a small 'victory' lap around the ring culminating in him stopping in the middle of the ring. Dropping to his knees and flipping his hood back to his jacket before tossing his arms out at his side. The boos continued to ring in from the disapproving crowd as Kevin smirked a little more. Undoing his jacket as he stood up to his feet. The music started to fade out as he retreated to his corner tossing said jacket to the floor.
DING DING DING!
As soon as the bell rang Smith found himself sprinting forward and catching Raven by surprise. Landing a barrage of punches to the face and chops to the chest. Raven was doing his best to protect himself, but Smith wasn't letting up with those strikes. The moment he had Raven backed up against the ropes. He connected with a big CLOTHESLINE that sent Raven over the rope rope and falling to the floor.
Adams: Justin Smith is on fire right now! Who saw this coming?!
Simone: Not many, but I think I know where this is coming from Jason!
Adams: Go ahead and enlighten me, Belinda.
Simone: All week long it's been said Justin is the weak link of the team. All week long the entire team of Justin, Troll, and Bill has been described as not having a chance. It has lit a fire under him.
Adams: Well if that's true. It's about damn time!
Smith watched as Raven started to pull himself up on the outside. The moment he was on his knees the man turned and ran towards the ropes to hit them with force. Smith came bouncing back and launching himself over the top rope for a SOMERSAULT PLANCH-NOOOOOOO! Raven caught Smith on his shoulders in the powerbomb position. Then without any hesitation at all he delivered a POWERBOMB to the apron causing Smith to crumble to the floor.
Simone: Oh god! That looked brutal!
Adams: I have no idea what Justin was thinking there. That's out of his normal.
Simone: Sometimes, you just have to try new things. But that wasn't a new thing to try clearly!
Raven was reaching down and grabbing a handful of Smith's hair yanking him up. Smith was favoring his back where it had smacked against the canvas of the ring apron. Right away Raven tossed Smith into the ring and slid in himself to make the cover. Jacob saw that first pin attempt as he dropped down to make the cover.
ONE!
SMITH KICKS OUT!
Right away Smith found himself powering out of the pin attempt. Raven sat up on his knees with a slight smirk on his lips. He then grabbed a hold of Smith, starting to pull him back to his feet. Once they were at a vertical basis it was Raven that drove his knee right into the sternum of Smith to double him over. Before hooking the man by his head and neck then reaching down to pick Smith up and connect with an EXPLODER SUPLEX sending Smith flying across the ring. He hit with force and finally came to a stop in the corner. Raven getting right back to his feet dusting his hands off.
Adams: Alright, let's chill out there pal! You aren't that good.
Simone: Jason! I've warned you before, don't wind this man up.
Adams: Well, the amount of disrespect is absurd with these clowns!
Raven turned and grabbed a hold of Smith who was trying to get back to his feet despite the pain he was in. The disrespect from Raven was shown with a harsh right hand to the jaw that dropped Smith back down to his knees. Raven took a few steps back before coming forward and landing a brutal spartan like kick to the chest of Smith putting him right back down on the map. That devious smirk on Raven's face seemed to grow as if he was having fun.
Raven had walked right to his corner and made a tag to J2H. Right away the Hall of Famer leaped through the ropes and eyed up Smith who was trying to get to his feet after that kick to the chest that was rather brutal. Smith planted one hand into the mat, with the other hand on his chest. But soon enough he was able to get up to his knees. That's when J2H rushed in and blind sided the man with a SHINING WIZARD putting Smith down. J2H finds himself rolling the man onto his back and making the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
SMITH KICKS OUT AGAIN!
This didn't seem to please Smith as he quickly mounted the downed Smith and landed a series of punches to his face. Landing three solid punches before Jacob was on J2H about the closed fists. In a heated manner J2H got to his feet and found himself glaring at Jacob. That look was enough to make the referee back up for a minute. That brief moment where he took the eye off the prize was about to prove costly. J2H turned around as Smith popped up and landed a nasty looking SPEAR taking J2H off his feet! Understanding the importance of the space he created.
Smith found himself rolling over and making a leap towards the corner to make a tag to Barnhart. The big man entered the ropes just as J2H was starting to get to his feet. J2H didn't even have a chance to make a move before he was cut off by Barnhart with a well placed kick to the ribs of the Hall of Famer. As soon as he doubled J2H over, Barnhart grabbed the man by his head and took him down with a SWINGING NECKBREAKER in the center of the ring. Barnhart wasted no time going for the pin attempt. With Jacob dropping down in position.
ONE!
Simone: This could be it! This could be the biggest win in Bill's career!
TWO!
Adams: Bill beating J2H would break the entire universe!
J2H KICKS OUT WITH FORCE!
Simone: Ugh! So close! So-so close!
Adams: It would have been huge, but I wasn't holding my breath. It's J2H for crying out loud!
Simone: Anyone can have a bad day and get caught by the element of surprise!
Barnhart got right up to his feet as he grabbed a hold of J2H's hair and pulled him up a little bit. Only to take his massive forearm and slam it down against the back of J2H bringing him right back down to his knees. With J2H down to his knees Barnhart grabbed a hold of his head and smacked his knee against the face of the Hall of Famer knocking him back down against the map. J2H rolled over to his stomach as he was trying to crawl away to get to some space that he seemed to need more than anything at this moment. However Barnhart wasn't letting him get away.
He reached down and grabbed a hold of J2H by the waist of his tights. Using his strength to yank J2H up off the mat with one arm and catch him with both arms wrapped around his stomach. Right away found himself going for a GERMAN SUP-NOOO! Before he could connect, J2H drilled Barnhart in the side of his head with an elbow forcing the hold to break. Barnhart stumbled away holding his head where the elbow had connected. J2H turned around and was waiting in the winds. The moment Barnhart turned back to go on the offense. J2h was right there to connect with a JUMPING REVERSE STO bringing Barnhart face first into the mat.
Adams: J2H just took all the wind out of Bill's sail with that move!
Simone: He sure did, but that was all thanks to that dirty elbow.
Adams: Dirty elbow? Listen, I'm not a fan of J2H just like no one else is. But I wouldn't have called that a dirty elbow.
J2H found himself kipping right back to his feet with a smirk spread across his lips. Of course the fans weren't a fan of that smirk and let it be known with their boos. J2H then grabbed a hold of Barnhart's hair and yanked him up to his feet. Almost right away he began to dig his fingers right into the eyes of the Bulldog. Jacob gave a warning to J2H but by then the damage was done. Barnhart blinded for the moment with J2H making a quick tag to Kevin Carter.
Carter took a couple of steps over to the middle of the ring apron with his eyes on Banhart. As soon as his hand was removed from his eyes, and he could seemingly see. Carter struck by pulling the top rope down and using it to launch himself in the air connecting with a massive SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE taking Barnhart off his feet as his body hit the mat with a thud. Carter made sure to make an immediate cover on the big man.
Simone: Did you hear the sound of that clothesline?! Kevin must have hit Bill with everything he had!
ONE!
Adams: It was nasty sounding, but I don't think that's going to be enough. Bill is showing some heart tonight! He's not letting it end like this!
TWO!
Simone: I have to agree with that. Bill has been in rare form tonight!
BARNHART POWERS OUT WITH FORCE!
Adams: Just as we called it. Bill is being resilient tonight!
Simone: But, he's got to get the control back if he has a shot at taking a win home for his team!
As soon as Barnhart got that shoulder up. Carter was up on his feet as he landed a viscous stomp to one of the knees of the Bulldog. Barnhart could be seen screaming in agony as he grabbed that knee and rolled over trying to protect it. Carter quickly grabbed that knee of Barnhart's and stomped on it a second time. Only causing the man to scream out in pain a little louder. The wicked smirk that crossed Carter's lips was a telling story as he then grabbed a hold of Barnhart and flipped him right into the TEXAS CLOVER LEAF in the middle of the ring.
Simone: Oh no! That cannot be doing any wonders for the knee of Bill!
Adams: Not only is it pressure on the knee, but it's also some pressure to the lower back. But of a double whammy.
Carter was torquing on that knee something fierce. Barnhart slammed his fist into the mat while screaming out in pain. Trying to fight through it. At this point the fans were doing everything they could get behind the Bulldog if anything just to spite Carter. It seemed to be working as Barnhart raised up and started to crawl towards the ropes. Carter could be seen shaking his head violently as he tried to add more pressure to that knee.
Although, it was clearly not working as Barnhart had crawled himself away from the middle of the ring. A fingertip away from the bottom rope. Carter tried to prevent it, but Barnhart lunged forward one last time and grabbed the rope. Jacob right there to tell Carter, but the self-proclaimed Entity of SCW ignored the warning. Applying even more pressure like a true scumbag. Jacob, not having any part of that, reached in and forced Carter to break the hold. Only angering Carter as he got up in Jacob's face the moment the hold was broken.
Adams: What a tough guy Carter thinks he is. Getting in the face of our official!
Simone: This is a good way to get yourself suspended or worse fired.
Adams: Sadly, I don't think Kevin gives a damn!
Simone: He will when he doesn't have a job!
Jacob stood there pointing towards his shirt as a reminder, but Carter didn't seem to care. All of the sudden Carter felt his arm being tugged as he turned around. Barnhart was the reason as he went for a punch, but it was ducked by Carter who then went rushing towards the ropes to use them as momentum. He came rushing back, but it was Barnhart that caught the man by surprise with a "BULLDOG SLAM" smack dab in the middle of the ring. Taking them both out for the moment. Troll was standing in the corner shouting at Barnhart to make the tag. J2H and Raven themselves encourage Carter to get to them.
Carter rolled over and started to push himself up. Barnhart could be seen LEAPING to his corner and making that tag to Troll. Almost tripping getting into the ring Troll got in as fast as he could. Just as Carter was getting up and turned around just to be leveled with a clothesline from Troll. Carter hit the mat, but was quick to get himself right back up. Troll rushed in for a BIG BOOT but only caught Carter in the gut. However it worked out as it forced him to double over in the perfect position for Troll to land a DDT in the center of the ring on Carter. Troll flopping down onto Carter for the cover.
Simone: That DDT seemed to really rattle Kevin!
Adams: I don't think it was humanly possible for Troll to move as fast as he did a moment ago!
ONE!
Adams: If Troll wins this! Kevin better just pack up and leave! Never show his face again around here!
Simone: That would literally be the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to him!
TWO!
Simone: I think he may have actually knocked him out.
Adams: Jacob's hand is coming down for a three!
THRE-NOOOOOOO!
J2H AND RAVEN STOMP ON TROLL TO BREAK IT UP!
Adams: Dammit to hell! Of course they were going to break it up!
Simone: I mean, no one wants to lose but my god. I was hoping to see Troll pick up his second win and against Kevin nonetheless!
As soon as those two men broke up the count. That led to Barnhart and Smith rushing into the ring. A brawl breaks out amongst the entire team. Smith takes Raven and tosses him through the ropes before climbing out to keep the brawl going. Barnhart lifted J2H up into the military press position and tossed him out of the ring where his body hit the floor with a thud. Barnhart dropping down and rolling out of the ring to stay on the Hall of Famer.
Back inside the ring Troll was holding his head where he had been kicked, but took notice of the fact Carter was trying to pull himself up in the corner. Carter used the turnbuckles to slowly stand up, biut when he turned around he was met with a disaster. Troll CRUSHED him in the corner with a SPLASH causing Carter to fall out back down to the mat in the perfect position. That grin that crossed Troll's face said it all he was up to something. Starting to find himself climbing out of the ring to the apron and then starting to climb the corner.
Adams: Where the hell does he think he's going?!
Simone: I am not trying to be mean, but I don't think the top rope is meant to support that much.
Adams: Nevermind all of that. Troll has no real background in wrestling. The top rope is the last place he needs to be!
Troll was showing a little bit of struggle getting to that top rope, but finally he got there. He was about to perch himself up when he was blindsided with a modified version of "SOON FORGOTTEN" from Carter. Catching him right on the corner and slumping him up top.
Kevin Carter: Sit your fat ass down!
The remarks didn't go over well with the crowd. Those boos rang out pretty heavily as Carter then showed impressive strength scooping Troll onto his shoulders and off the top rope. As he started to walk to the middle of the ring Smith LEAPED up on the apron and made a blind tag. The crowd cheering as Carter seemed to have no idea. Spinning and driving Troll off his shoulders with "INTO THE ABYSS" in the middle of the ring. He dropped down and made the cover, but Jacob refused to count. Waving it off as Carter looked confused and irritated all the same.
Simone: Kevin has no idea! He has no idea that Justin is the legal man!
Adams: This is great! Look Justin is getting in the ring!
Simone: You can see it in his eyes! He's got every intention of ending Kevin!
Carter got up and again was in Jacob's face, but to Jacob's credit he was trying to tell him what was going on. Smith finally grabbed Carter and spun him around landing a kick to the gut. It forced him to double over as Smith then took his head and put it between his legs. He motioned for his signature as the crowd was coming unglued in excitement. He hooked his waist and went for "THE STRIK-NOOO!" Before he could pick him up Raven struck with a SHUFFLE SIDE KICK to the back of the head on Smith forcing him to let go of Carter.
The dazed Smith slowly turned around as J2H rushed in and grabbed a hold of his arm. He twisted it before dropping himself back and driving his foot right into the jaw of Smith. The man was out on his feet as he fell back into the ropes but bounced off them to keep himself up. Only for J2H and Raven to grab him, popping him up into the air as Carter CAUGHT Smith onto his shoulders when he came back down. No hesitation at all as he drove Smith down for "INTO THE ABYSS" to the dismay of the crowd. Carter quickly made the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners: J2H, ALEXANDER RAVEN, and KEVIN CAAAARRRTTTERRR!
As soon as the bell sounded Carter uncovered Smith and got to his feet with a scowl on his face. The three men found themselves taking the center of the ring as Jacob started to raise their hands as a sign of victory. The crowd found themselves hurling boos at them even more.
Adams: This is the outcome everyone expected, but no one is happy with it!
Simone: You can say that again. And I just want to applaud Bill, Justin, and Troll for giving it everything they had tonight. They really were close to stealing these things numerous times!
Adams: I could only imagine what the landscape of SCW would have looked like if those three managed to beat these three. It would be something wild...
Following that victory, Carter could be seen rolling out of the ring for a brief moment. Approaching Justin and snatching the microphone out of his hand. Pointing at the man with a glare in his eyes.
Kevin Carter: Next time you announce us as winners. Do it with some respect!
Justin's face said it all. He was more than confused by the comments with the fans starting to give their response with some heavy boos. Carter rolled himself right back in the ring to stand side by side with Raven and J2H.
Kevin Carter: From the moment this match was announced. Everyone knew what the outcome was. This was done by design. Done by design by the corrupt management that continues to run this place. Making a match like this to waste our time. To make us seem less appealing. To make us seem as if the only thing we are good at is beating on the bottom barrel talent they continue to employ. We're not stupid like you think we are. We know what this was all about!
Each man displayed their individual look of disdain. The crowd's boos get louder by the second, but having no effect on them.
Kevin Carter: As much as you tried to waste our time. These men were nothing more than prey to us and they were slaughtered right before your very eyes. Their blood is on your hands. Not ours. But this is the type of thing that's going to keep happening. Over and over again until you start treating us with the respect that we deserve. Until you start handing us what is rightfully ours...
Before the man could continue on anymore. "Bad Man" by Polo G hit the speaker system inside Avicii Arena. The once hated second generation star was met with a pretty warm reception from the crowd. Their cheers almost deafening the entire building.
Adams: What a response for Jayden here in Stockholm!
Simone: I'm not quite sure this is the reception Jayden wants, but it's certainly one he's going to get every single time he finds himself interrupting these three.
Adams: Got to admit. I'm a little surprised to see this. After what they did to him last week.
Simone: I'm not that. Jayden just refuses to stay down. Can't fault him for that.
Of course neither of those three men in the ring were pleased. Their attention turned as Jayden found himself walking out with a bit of a smirk on his lips. Pointing towards his ear a little bit as he leaned towards the crowd. Seemingly encouraging their response. To which they obliged in causing the young man's smirk to grow a little more.
Kevin Carter: Cut that crappy music off!
As soon as Carter made that demand. The music instantly stopped playing which caused the crowd to hurl boos at him. Jayden finally lifted that microphone in his hand up.
Jayden Harris: Not surprised, you aren't a fan of culture...
He grinned a bit.
Jayden Harris: And judging by the way you have sounded for the last several months. You're not ever going to embrace culture. You're still a bitter uninspiring unimpressive boring hack that lacks any kind of true significance from the year two thousand thirteen!
That got a pretty good pop from the Swedish fans. Jayden seemingly nodding his head as a pat on his back, but he didn't have a chance to say anything else before being cut off.
Alexander Raven: Here we fucking go again. The mouthy little brat can't just stay down and out. He has to get up over and over, and stick his scrawny little fucking neck into our business for another week in a row. What is your problem, kid? Have we hit you that hard in the head, that you've somehow deluded yourself into thinking you are doing anything but shortening what could have been a promising career? Too busy trying to lay the verbal smackdown with snide remarks, to realise that you're just a fucking nuisance at this point. Turn around, get in your car, and leave. Or you'll be leaving the same way you have every week for the last month.
The moment Raven finished his remarks. As one could have expected the crowd let it be known how they felt about him. Carter on the other hand wasn't going to allow them to get too much of a word in.
Kevin Carter: I don't get it Jayden. I don't get this sick game you want to keep playing. You clearly have a thing for being punished. Because every single time you step up to us. Every single time you run your mouth. We end up shutting it. Last week was a prime example. You thought you were being a brave soul and getting one last word in, but all that did was get your ass handed to you... And I am pretty sure, I warned you last week. If you didn't walk away, if you didn't just leave us be. The next step we took wasn't going to be something you were able to get up from. You don't want to push us that far. Be a smart kid. Leave us alone!
His eyes narrowed and every bit of his voice seemed to be filled with rage. Jayden stood there as if everything being said to him didn't even register in his head. Taking a couple of steps down the little makeshift ramp and towards the ring.
Jayden Harris: I heard you loud and clear last week. I'm hearing you loud and clear this week. See, the problem with all of that is Kevin. I am a little bit hard headed, My mom would say I get it from my father and the older I get. I'd have to agree with that. I just don't take someone's word as face value. And there's part of my brain that's just wired for me to not stay down. So no matter what you do. I'm going to keep getting back up. I'm going to keep coming at you for a fight!
That smugness of Jayden seemingly just oozed out of him with those few words spoken.
Jayden Harris: Honestly, I will say this. You did teach me something last week. You taught me that this whole three on one thing ain't so bad. Like, I just know that boyfriend one and two are always going to be lurking in the shadows. No matter what, I'm never going to escape that. It's something I just have to prepare for and I did a pretty good job at that last week. The referee distraction. The belt shot to the back of the head. All of it, I took it on the chin and still proved that I could win even with the three on one odds being against me. Which got me thinking...
He found himself pausing for a moment. Tapping on his bare chin and having the crowd rise in anticipation. They just knew whatever he had to say was going to be a big deal.
Jayden Harris: Violent Conduct is around the corner. Kevin, you don't have a dance partner. Nor do you James, or you, Alexander. I also conveniently don't have a dance partner that night either. So, it makes perfect sense. That the three of us just settle this once and for all. You three in one corner versus myself in the other corner. No disqualifications. No count outs. None of the bells and whistles. We just fight until you either finally take me out or until I choke each of you out. One by one!
That statement alone had the crowd standing on their feet. Those cheers reached an all-time high in that building. Jayden stood there just nodding his head at their reception keeping that smirk featured. Carter was eyeballing the young man with that same rage in his eyes.
Kevin Carter: So, not are you only hard headed like your old man. You're trying to see an early grave like him too!
That comment sucked the life out of the arena. The crowd was stunned for a moment at how long the man was willing to go with his comment. Carter finds himself now with the smug smirk on his lips.
J2H: Just when I thought you couldn't get any stupidier Jayden, you once again prove me wrong.
J2H looks Jayden in the eye.
J2H: We've clearly give you brain damage with every shot we've taked but even the fucking retarded are not as stupid as you. You couldn't beat any of us now one on one, you got lucky last week but that was a one off. What is going through your head when you think you could beat us all? Do you remember the last time you got in the ring with all three of us? Do you remember what happened after? Masks got taken off and you got to be a bigger embarrassment then you usually are. It's been fun kicking the shit out of you constantly, but this is a waste of my time, it's a waste of Alexander's time, it's a waste of Kevin's time. You must have been watching us tonight and there must be that little voice inside your head telling you that you just can't do this anymore. You're just a little punching bag with fuck all value.
He turns his head away and smiles before looking back towards Jayden.
J2H: You've got no friends, you knew this from when you tried to find a partner before and look what happened.
J2H turns and nods towards Kevin.
J2H: There's not one person in this world that likes you, there's not one person in the world that respects you, there's not one person in the world that can take you serious, so now you've got your answer, now go back on that special bus and go play with people on your level, the likes of the job squad that we destroyed tonight.
J2H waves him off and looks to Alexander.
Alexander Raven: You just don't know when to quit, do you? I don't have a match because there isn't a damn person in this whole fucking company, besides the men that are standing here with me, that deserves to be in the ring with me for the Roulette Championship. Not you, not the deadbeats they threw at us tonight. Not Eddie, not Kris, not fucking any of them. You, Jayden? I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You couldn't get the job done in thirty minutes last time, and that was in your element. That was your ballgame, right? But you couldn't get it done. No, James here got a little antsy and took his fist to your stupid face early. But you wouldn't have been able to get it done. Not then, and not at Violent Conduct. You ain't getting your match kid. Go home, stay there. Pray that they find your daddy, and maybe. Just maybe. You can have a sniff at the gold, when my contract expires next month. Until then, go fuck yourself.
Carter looked at the two men that shared the ring with him. His smirk glowing as they were just letting Jayden have it one side down the other. Finally, he stepped back up peering down at Jayden.
Kevin Carter: What you fail to realize Jayden is you don't have the stroke that you think you do. You don't get to just say something or make a demand or a challenge and think you're going to get your way. That's not how this works, kid. You versus the three of us would be a legitimate massacre to your entire existence. You should be thankful we're showing you mercy and passing on the challenge.
Jayden just shook his head a little bit at the words coming out of their mouths. Not even the least bit impressed by his expression. Holding up his right hand while speaking again.
Jayden Harris: It sounds like the three big bad wolves are afraid... What do you guys think?
The response from the crowd was eclectic. They clearly shared the same mindset as the second generation brat. Jayden nodded.
Jayden Harris: Like I thought. But honestly let me ease your thoughts gentlemen. First and foremost, Alexander. Looking for a credible opponent? I mean I'm right here... you can say what you want about our match several weeks back but you know as well as I know. I was seconds away from putting you to sleep. Fuck around and find out what happens. You can put that title on the line in this match. I don't give a shit. Makes me look ten times better when I beat all three of you AND take your title!
His smirk widened a little bit. With the cameras cutting back to Alexander who mouthed something not heard while clutching onto that Roulette Championship on his shoulder.
Jayden Harris: And you're right Kevin. I should be grateful about the whole showing me mercy thing, but I don't want mercy. Nah, I really want to see if you are a man of your word. I want to see if the three of you can put me out of my misery. Time for y'all to be about it, and I know... based on what James said. You don't think it'll ever be allowed. After all Christian forced me into that bullshit back at Summer XXXtreme, but something tells me that won't be a stipulation this time around. I think I know someone that likes me just a little bit more than Christian and is very much looking forward to seeing the three of you get what's coming to you...
The man found himself lowering his microphone with that smirk flashing. All three men looked on in the ring confused. That was until...
"Midnight/Tornado" starts to blast through the speakers and Hot Stuff Mark Ward walks out on to the top of the ramp with a smile on his face as the crowd cheer.
Simone: Wowwwwww! Mr. Ward is back!
Adams: We know he had been running things remotely for a little bit now, but we haven't seen Mr. Ward since Entity ... well Kevin brutally assaulted him back in April.
Simone: You can see it in Kevin's face right now. It's like he's seen a ghost!
Adams: I hope our boss makes the man pay for everything he's done!
HS: Well look at that Kevin, it looks like we're gonna need a cleaning crew in that ring, because it seems you've just made a bit of a mess.
The crowd cheer as Kevin yells towards Hot Stuff.
HS: Judging by how excited you are, you must have really missed me. For far too long, you three stooges have got away with far too much, with me being forced to put my feet up and deal with everything from somewhere else. I've had to sit there and watch you three muppets think you're the big men of this place. Let me tell you boys, it gives off certain vibes. Gives off the vibes of little dick energy.
Hot Stuff holds his little finger up and smiles.
HS: The way you guys have been acting, pretty sure one of you could hold the record for the world's tiniest todge. I couldn't wait to get back here to deliver messages in person. I wanted to see the loo on your faces and I really did expect the smell to come up, but it was time to put a stop to your fun and games. Gang attacks make you feel like big boys? Make ya feel like hard men? Might make ya feel that way, but you look like a bunch of soft bitches.
Hot Stuff holds his hand up to the insults thrown in his direction.
HS: Shut up children, Daddy's talking now. I do think that you James, been hit in the head too much lately, because I do think Jayden can beat you all one on one and it would be wrong of me to deny him that chance, so whine and bitch all you want, but Jayden, you're gonna get a chance to do just that.
Simone: What?
HS: At Violent Conduct, Jayden gets his wish, a gauntlet match, one on one. Here's the kicker, he beats all three of you, Alexander, you're pissing off back to the land down under without that Roulette championship. All one of your shit for brains idiots have to do is beat him just the once. Now you three can get out the microscopes and have a pissing contest to decide who comes in first, but you better be ready, because each match will be a roulette match.
Adams: The boss is dropping the hammer.
HS: I'm calling it now, you little shits are nothing on your own, so be ready.
Kevin Carter: You son of a bitch! You can't make us do that!
Alexander Raven: This is exactly what I've been talking about. This is the horseshit that I have to deal with week in and week out. That kid has done exactly fucking nothing to justify getting a shot at my Roulette Championship. Let alone getting in the ring with THREE of the best that this company has to offer. You're going to pay for this, Mark. I promise you.
J2H: Haven't you seen what we've already done to that little bitch? You've seen what we can do, the blood will be on your fucking hands!
HS: Awwww, you three gonna cry? Do you all need a little nap and a bottle. Grow the fuck up! Oh and Kevin. I'm not done with you, cause mask or no mask, I owe you a solid slap, and believe me, it's coming to ya!
Mark was clearly pulling his foot down with his authority. Jayden found himself gaining attention of the trio once again with that smugness to him.
Jayden Harris: Well damn... for a kid that just can't make a challenge and get his way. It sure sounds like it wasn't that hard. But that being said gentlemen. I'll be seeing you real soon!
Jayden tossed the microphone out of his hand and it hit the floor with a thud. Right away "Bad Man" began to play for a second time with a thunderous crowd still behind the man. He approached Mark at the top and found himself shaking hands with the boss.
Adams: This match is going to be insane to see!
Simone: Mr. Ward is giving Jayden exactly what he wants with facing all three men. With some parameters of course, but still he's getting what he wants and the SCW Roulette Championship is on the line!
Adams: The only thing I don't like is that Alexander doesn't actually have to defend the title to keep it. If he loses to Jayden, and Kevin or J2H beat him. Raven stays champion!
Simone: I can see where the mindset is it's unfair, but it's certainly the price Jayden's willing to pay to get what he desires most!
Mark and Jayden stood there exchanging in a bit of small talk, with the cameras cut back down to the ring with Carter, J2H, and Raven looked on with rage. There disgruntled faces were the focus for a couple of seconds before the cameras cut to the backstage area.
Andrea Hernandez is seen backstage, getting ready for the match that she's going to have shortly. She's got a determined look in her eyes, but ultimately, she's not looking too happy at the moment. Stoner Scott Oliver is in the case has he approaches her and slightly catches her off guard.
Scott Oliver: Andrea…
Andrea: Yeah?
Scott Oliver: I just wanted to ask you a couple of things. As you know, Violent Conduct is drawing near and as of this point, there isn't an obvious match for you that is happening. Now, you've been great in your comeback and all and you've got a big match coming up. Are you worried about the possibility that you might not be at Violent Conduct?
Andrea: No.
Andrea sighs.
Andrea: Something will definitely pop up. With this company being as unpredictable as it is, you never know. I'll tell you this much though, I'm not interested in hosting another Supercard. But, I'm not going to worry about it too much. I know what I've done since I've come back and I already know that I've done more than enough to not be noticed, you know?
Scott Oliver: You more than likely made yourself a little more noticed considering what Alexandra Calaway had to say about you.
Andrea doesn't know whether to sigh, or wince or facepalm in this moment.
Andrea: You know, I warned her about her attitude. I told her that if she came into this match worrying about what other people are going to say about her then she was setting herself up for more of an uphill battle. I don't know where she gets off thinking that I was going to address her the way a Kayla Richards might. Prior to this week, I didn't say a word about her. I've been minding my own business, you know? But she wants to characterize me like…
Andrea pauses and sighs.
Andrea: Honestly, I don't get it at all. Either she clearly hasn't been watching my matches or any words I've had to say prior to said matches or she knows of who I was the first time around that I was here and she's basing her opinion of me off of that? I don't know. I understand that she might be coming in feeling disappointed and down following that loss last week to Kayla and Finn, but if she's taking her anger out on me, she's taking it out on the wrong person. It sucks… not what she said about me necessary because it's not really stuff that is new… but the fact that this is an opportunity to go out there and steal the show and put on a banger of a match and she comes into it with THAT type of attitude. I know she's better than that, but she didn't show it here.
Scott Oliver: Does this make this match more personal?
Andrea: No.
Scott Oliver: Does it piss you off even in the slightest? Does it make you hate her?
Andrea: It doesn't anger me, Scott. For damn sure it doesn't make me hate her. It makes me feel sorry for her but when that bell rings, I can't feel sorry for her anymore. The truth of the matter is that she's costing herself matches by being stuck in her own head like this and the indicators appear to be that tonight? She's about to cost herself another one. At the same time, I understand. When I was here the first time, I used to carry just that type of attitude and while I was successful in spite of myself, even I was bogged down and broken down by it eventually. Where she goes from here is up to her. I hate that I've been treated like just another person that's going to tear her down. That's not what I'm here to do. So, whatever floats her boat in her head, you know?
Scott Oliver: Thanks for the time…
Scott decides to make her way out of the scene. Andrea thinks about the tension coming into this thing that she didn't want to deal with in the first place, but knows that she has to.
Andrea: Looks like I've got a lesson to teach someone… unfortunately…
Andrea sighs, expressing some reluctance for the very reality she just brought to light. She makes her exit from the scene and the scene cuts out.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and our next match promises to be a doozy as two former champions of the Bombshell Division go at it! It's two time Bombshell Roulette Champion Alexandra Callaway against former World Bombshell and Internet Champion Andrea Hernandez!
Adams: Callaway has yet to have success outside of the Roulette Division but she's proven that she can go, especially considering she's one of the oldest Bombshells on the roster! Andrea has been on the up and up since her return and this match could continue that momentum!
Simone: This should be a great match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
"Summertime Sadness" hits the venue's soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong cheers from the crowd. Andrea acknowledges the crowd and completely focused on the task at hand. She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, acknowledging the crowd even further as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.
Justin: Introducing first, from Phoenix, Arizona, ANDREA HERNANDEZ!
Simone: Andrea has shown that while she hasn't changed that much as a wrestler she is a better person than she was in her last SCW run.
Adams: Can she match her prior success though?
Justin: And hr opponent!
The lights go down and "Mine" by Halestorm starts to play. The arena is filled with Red and lights and fog. The Silhouette of Alexandra can be seen at the top of the ramp. She poses on the top of the ramp and as the beat drops, she starts to make her way down the ramp, towards the ring. Stopping halfway down the ramp, she stops looking out over the crowd, before continuing on. She smirks seeing some of the signs people made a cocky smirk crosses her face.
Justin: From DALLAS, TX.. ALEXANDRA CALAWAY!!!!!"
Finishing her walk down the ramp, she climbs onto the ring apron and up onto the turnbuckle. She slips into the ring and poses on the ropes, leaning forward on the ropes, sometimes talking shit with people in front row. She watches up the ramp, messing with her hair as she waits for her opponent.
Simone: Alexandra came up short last week in her and Miles's latest attempt to dethrone the Wolves and take the Mixed Tag Team Titles from them!
Adams: I think it's safe to say she wants to bounce back using this match but Andrea is no pushover.
Dawn goes over the rules with both women and when they nod to confirm that they understand she calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And our second match of the night is underway!
Adams: This should be good!
Andrea and Alexandra share a quick handshake before they kick off the match with a quick exchange of submission holds and pin fall attempts, neither of which last long enough to make any impact on the match! They eventually end in a stalemate as the two brunette Bombshells stare each other down and the Swedish crowd applauds them! Alexandra tries to break the stalemate with a running clothesline but Andrea ducks under it and connects with a Dropkick to the chin as Alexandra turns around, sending the older bombshell to the outside.
Simone: Alexandra and Andrea were in a stalemate and Alexandra tried to break it with a clothesline.
Adams: But instead she caught a dropkick to the chin!
Andrea rolls out of the ring and goes after Alexandra but the veteran Bombshell hears Andrea coming and spins around before connecting with a solid punch to Andrea's jaw and the two Bombshells start brawling around the ringside area! The brawl is broken up when Alexandra sends Andrea into the ring steps by reversing an Irish Whip and subsequently breaks up Dawn's ten count when she realizes that it has hit nine, returning to the outside of the ring and retrieve Andrea and following her back inside the ring after Alexandra throws her in.
Simone: That collision with the steps looked painful and that could affect Andrea's chances against Alexandra later in the match!
Adams: as a wise man once said: steel vs. flesh, steel wins every time!
Alexandra goes for the first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Andrea gets the shoulder up! Alexandra shakes her head before she puts on the pressure on Andrea's ribs by locking in a Boston Crab and really putting on the pressure on Andrea's side with the move! Dawn gets into the position and asks Andrea if she wants to submit but Andrea reuses outright as she instead starts crawling her way over to the ring ropes hoping to force a rope break! This doesn't work out as Alexandra drags Andrea back to the centre of the ring and tries to change up the submission, only for Andrea to catch her with a Roll Up.
ONE!
TWO!
And Alexandra kicks out!
Simone: Andrea managed to counter Alexandra's submission attempt but how much damage did that do to Andrea's already sore side?
Adams: Andrea's a high flyer, that side is going to make the high flying moves even more painful for Andrea!
Both women get back to their feet while Andrea clutches her side in pain and Alexandra tries to capitalize of that by going behind Andrea and going for a German Suplex! However Andrea lands on her feet and when Alexandra turns around Andrea blasts her with a Baisuku Knee to the face! Alexandra rolls to the outside of the ring to try to regroup and Andrea starts hyping up the fans as she measures Alexandra up for a dive!
Simone: A dive to the outside is always risky but after the damage Alexandra did to Andrea she had better watch herself.
Adams: She knows what she's getting into tough!
Andrea goes for a dive through the ropes but Alexandra catches her and throws Andrea into the barricade side first before doing the same into the ring apron! Alexandra then hits a Back Suplex onto the ring apron for good measure before following Andrea in after the younger Bombshells rolls into the ring to break the momentum Alexandra had built up and Alexandra goes for a pin on Andrea!
ONE!
TWO!
And Andrea kicks out! Alexandra shakes her head before backing away from Andrea and starts measuring up Andrea for a spear but when Andrea launches for the move Andrea leapfrogs over the spear and Alexandra turns around into an Exploder Suplex! Andrea clutches her side in pain but she still manages to go for a pin on Alexandra while Dawn gets into position to count the pin on Alexandra!
ONE!
TWO!
And Alexandra kicks out!
Simone: Alexandra was control of the match but Andrea is showing that she has no quit in her!
Adams: And now the question becomes, how long can she keep this up?
Andrea grits her teeth through the pain and uses the ring ropes to pull herself up while Alexandra regains her bearings, Andrea starts measuring up Alexandra for another attempt at a Baisuku Knee but when Alexandra gets back to her deet she instead catches Andrea with a Spinebuster in the centre of the ring! Alexandra then calls for the end while Andrea seems to be out of it, calling for the Apocalypse!
Simone: Alexandra has her sites set on a win!
Adams: Is Andrea done for the night?
Alexandra picks up Andrea and lets her up for the Powerbomb, but when she elevates her for the final part of the move Andrea slips out before landing on her feet and scoring with a Busaiku Knee on Alexandra! Alexandra seems to be out of it and Andrea heads to the Top Rope before nailing Alexandra with the Rise of the Phoenix!
Simone: And there's Andrea with the Rise of the Phoenix!
Adams: Stick a fork in Alexandra, she's done!
Andrea goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Andrea Hernandez!
Simone: Andrea continues her winning ways with an impressive win!
Adams: And it's back to the drawing board for Alexandra!
Andrea celebrates her win while clutching hr side and Dawn checks on Alexandra.
"Sweet Dreams" by Vin Jay plays, prompting immediate boos from the crowd, as The Bombshell Roulette Champion appears on stage, this time with no flash or glamor, with an angry expression on her face, she wastes no time getting into the ring, and demanding a microphone.
Victoria Lyons: Bella Madison!! I..
The crowd boos louder, not allowing her to speak.
Victoria Lyons: …Bella I…
The crowd boos even louder, making Victoria angrier. She has no choice but to talk through it.
Victoria Lyons: Bella! The Queen doesn't like to wait. How about we take care of this right here right now. Get out here and face your execution. Do NOT keep your queen waiting any longer!
She snarls and glares at the entryway, waiting for Bella.
After several moments and a few chants of "Bella! Bella!" breakout, New Years Day's "Shut Up" starts right up at the chorus as Bella Madison steps out onto the entrance area with an innocent look of "Who Me?" but shrugs and makes her way down to the ring anyways, slapping hands with the fans and occasionally stopping to wave at Victoria from the ramp before she finally decides it's enough teasing and hops onto the ring apron and make her way into the ring and strides across giving a glare of her own with a smirk. She turns and asks politely for a microphone before we hear...
Victoria Lyons: No! Do not give her a microphone. Nobody cares or needs to hear what she has to say. But she will listen to every word that I have to say.
The crowd boos as Bella straightens up and Victoria speaks right into Bella's face
Victoria Lyons: Just know, you did this to yourself. You dared to interrupt my sermon. I was going to educate these people, and you stuck your nose into my business. Now, I'm going to deal with you.
Bella doesn't waste any time and slaps the hand of Victoria away that was in her face and grabbing the microphone that was in Victoria's other hand. She steps around Victoria and shakes her head before turning around and taking center stage as Victoria stands there staring down at her hands.
Bella: Deal with me? I think the only thing you should be dealing with is that breath, Vickie. We were warned about that fermented herring...what was it called again? Surströmming! That's it. I mean don't get me wrong, we have been to such wonderful places during this tour, but don't think I didn't notice you taking the whole tray earlier and sneaking back into your dressing room. Now, would you like to try that again a little more nicely or are you gonna continue to be the fish queen?
Victoria snatches the mic back from Bella, and takes a step back.
Victoria Lyons: I would watch your tongue if I were you. I am not in the mood tonight. If you're not careful I'll send you into retirement, where at least you'll get to spend time with your father. Now, after your actions, and your attempt to destroy my throne and assault me, I want a formal apology, in fact I want you to kiss my feet.
Victoria puts a foot forward, with a smirk on her face. Bella looks down at it and tilts her head before reaching up once again and instead of snatching the microphone away she just grabs it and pulls it closer and thus Victoria closer.
Bella: The only kissing that will be done around here is you kissing my ass. If you know ANYTHING about my dad, you will know just how much he loved to burn shit to the ground. Well Victoria, I will torch your entire kingdom without blinking an eye, and then I will take that foot and put it in that big fat mouth of yours.
Bella looks down again and Victoria hasn't moved her foot and Bella takes this chance and stomps down with the heel of her boot which causes Victoria to yell out in pain. Victoria hops around for a moment as Bella laughs but then once Victoria spins around she plants and throws a haymaker of a right and from there it is insanity. Lyons and Madison trade shots back and forth before they tackle one another to the ground.
Simone: We knew that eventually these two top females were going to come to blows but knowing both of their past we are going to need security out here FAST before we lose them both before London.
Adams: I was about to say with Bella's growing penchant for the hardcore side and seeing how Victoria is the current Roulette Champ....
SCW Security storms the ring and swarms the bombshells who are swinging wildly at one another. The group manages to pull the ladies apart, but after a moment they both break free and once again start swinging wildly before they get separated once again and pulled into separate corners and start screaming at one another as the fans continue to go crazy.
Female Voice: THAT IS ENOUGH!!!
Laura Phoenix of all people steps out onto the stage and makes a beeline to the ring as Bella stares in shock as her own mother who is decked out in business attire gets into the ring and stands right in between them.
Laura Phoenix: You both need to stop. And Victoria, before you even start I may be that one's mother, but that does not stop me from attending to the job that I was given here tonight. I stand here as a representative of Mark Ward and Christian Underwood because they are both extremely aware of what has been happening here. Violent Conduct X is on the horizon and since this tour began Bella you have done an absolute amazing job getting under Victoria's skin. And Victoria, while you have been an excellent Roulette Champion, you are missing the fact that come London, it will be Bella in that ring with you.
Victoria screams "NO!" and struggles against the security but Laura holds up her hand as if she's not even phased by it.
Laura: So here is what is going to happen, from here on out until London, you two are NOT to touch one another. Not one finger. If you do, you will be fined and possibly suspended and we cannot have that. NEXT WEEK on Climax Control you two will be in separate matches, and you both will be picking the other's opponent. Then come London at Violent Conduct X, you two can then beat the absolute shit out of each other for the SCW Roulette Championship. But if you two even think about breaking the rule, let it be known that I will come out of my own retirement and handle it personally.
Rev Theory's "Hell Yeah" blares as Laura motions to Bella to get to the back as she turns and orders security to keep Victoria back until they get to the back.
Simone: Laura Phoenix speaking for the owners of the company? What the hell is that all about?
Adams: I don't know but we now know that it is indeed her majesty, Victoria Lyons defending her precious Rue against a woman who is acting like she's possessed or obsessed, pick your descriptor but she will be taking on Bella Madison in London at Violent Conduct X.
Simone: But before we get there, next week they get to pick their the other's opponents. We know Lyons' is vicious but did you happen to see that smirk on Bella's face when Laura announced that? What does she have up her sleeve?
Adams: I don't know but we will find out soon enough.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control! Our next matchup is a Tripple Threat between three Bombshells who recently came up short in some pretty big matches as Bobbie Dahl takes on Mercedes Vargas and Sweden's own Seleana Zdunich!
Adams: In descending order: Bobbie came up short against Victoria Lyons in a non-title match last week in Belgium, Mercedes was pinned in Raine's Proving Ground Match which also featured Diamond Steele and Seleana was the latest one to fall short against Kayla in a World Bombshell Tittle Match! All three women are fighting for momentum heading into Violent Conduct and with next week being the Go Home Show? Time is running out for them!
Simone: This should be a good one! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following is a Triple Threat Match scheduled for one fall!
The open beats to "Happy" by Pharrell Williams starts to play. The line 'Clap along if you know that happiness is the truth' appears on the screen and the fans start to clap along to the music. They clap alone for a few moments, waiting for who they know is about to walk through the curtain.
Justin: Introducing first, from Coal City, Illinois, weighing 240ibs, BOBBIE DAHL!
After the music plays for some time, Bobbie Dahl bursts through the curtains, clapping along with the music and the fans, with the Bombshell Roulette title draped over her shoulder. She is joined by Artie at her side as they both smile and get amped up along with the fans.
Simone: Bobbie's match last week was her return from injury after she suffered a foot injury but you wouldn't think she was hurt at all based on the way she moved!
Adams: And now she's after her first win back!
Bobbie and Artie then start making their way to the ring, high fiving fans along the way. Once to the ring, Artie walks up the steps first, and sits on the second rope, holding it open for his lady. She steps through the ropes then holds the Bombshell Roulette Championship up high, getting the fans to cheer louder for her as she stands in the middle of the ring. Artie exits the ring a few moments later, taking his place on the outside to support his wife.
Justin: And her opponents!
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin: From Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponent(s) to arrive.
Simone: Mercedes looks to bounce back from her recent setbacks but we'll see if she can pull it off!
Adams: Especially when you look at her opposition.
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the ring, the crowd is going crazy for the Swedish Bombshell.
Justin: FROM HALMSTAD, SWEDEN. "THE CAT" SELEANA ZDUNICH!
Seleana is slapping hands along the way as she baskes in the cowds chants and joins Bobbie and Mercedes in the ring!
Simone: Nothing like competing in front of your home country, right?
Adams: Tell me about it!
Once the noise dies down Jasmine goes over the rules with all three women and once they confirm that they understand she calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Once the bell rings Mercedes makes a beeline for Seleana but Seleana doges the clothesline and hits Mercedes with a deep arm drag, what she isn't ready for is Bobbie who subsequently charges in and takes both Mercedes and Seleana down with a double clothesline, the crowd has mixed reactions to Bobbie's move but they cheer louder when Seleana comes back with a high dropkick on Bobbie sending Bobbie to the outside.
Simone: Bobbie may be the biggest woman in the match but she's also the shortest, that leaves her at a disadvantage against Mercedes and Seleana.
Adams: And to be fair you'd be hard pressed to find taller Bombshells than Bobbie's opponents!
Seleana gets caught in the moment thanks to competing in front of her home country and that leaves her open to a German Suplex from Mercedes! Mercedes bridges for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out.
Simone: It didn't take long for the dangers of Tripple Threat Matches to come up!
Adams: Yeah, Bobbie, Mercedes and Seleana know all too well that you need eyes in the back of your head in a match like this!
Both Mercedes and Seleana get back to their feet but Mercedes doesn't get to do much before Bobbie trips her up from the outside of the and drags the Argentinian Bombshell out of the ring by her legs where the two start exchanging punches outside the ring apparently forgetting about Seleana as she measures up her opponents! Only one of them pays for this however as when Seleana goes for a Suicide Dive Bobbie doges out of the way, leaving Mercedes to take the hit! Seleana doesn't get much of a chance to celebrate though as Bobbie takes her down with a spear as soon as the blonde Bombshell turns around.
Simone: More evidence of why you need to be aware of the other wrestlers in multi-person matches!
Adams: Yep! Doesn't just apply to pins or submissions as Mercedes and Seleana just found out thanks to Bobbie!
Bobbie picks up Seleana and rolls her back into the ring before following her in and hitting a big splash on Seleana for good measure! Bobbie goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out! Bobbie shakes her head but before she can make another move Mercedes comes flying in from out of nowhere with a Missile Dropkick! Bobbie is sent out of the ring by the move and Mercedes turns her attention to Seleana only to get caught with a Small Package.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes kicks out!
Simone: So far this hasn't been the homecoming Seleana was hoping for but she's started to get back in the match!
Adams: It's tough against opponents like Mercedes and Bobbie but Seleana is a former World Bombshell Champion, she has the resilience to succeed in spades!
Mercedes and Seleana get back to their feet and Mercedes tries to reclaim the advantage with her signature Superkick but Seleana ducks the move and goes for a DDT! However Mercedes counters the attempt with a backdrop that laves her with a moment to catch her breath as Bobbie starts to get back on her feet on the outside and Bobbie returns to the ring as Mercedes hits Seleana with a Brainbuster and floats over into a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
And BOBBIE BREAKS IT UP WITH A RUNNING SENTON, LITERALLY SQUASHING BOTH BOMBSHELLS! Seleana and Mercedes sit up and Bobbie hits them both with a running Cross Body while they are seated! Bobbie goes for a pin on both women!
ONE!
TWO!
And both Mercedes and Seleana kicks out!
Simone: Mercedes and Seleana just got literally squashed twice by Bobbie and they still kicked out!
Adams: They may have kicked out but I bet they'll feel that in the morning!
Bobbie shakes her head before deciding to focus on Selana but the Swedish Bombshell still has enough fight in her to score with a Spinning Heel Kick on Bobbie! Seleana goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes breaks it up! Mercedes picks up Seleana but Seleana breaks free and goes for the Kattoga, however Mercedes shoves Seleana off and hits her with the Black Rose Overdrive! Seleana rolls out of the ring before Mercedes can go for a pin however an Mercedes is too busy yelling at the booing fans to shut up, not realizing that Bobbie is back on her feet behind her.
Simone: Err, Mercedes? You might want to turn around!
Adams: I don't think she can hear you over the crowd after she took out Seleana, but Bobbie isn't complaining about that!
Mercedes backs up into Bobbie and quickly turns around only to get planted by Bobbie with a front slam followed by the Bobbie Bomb!
Simone: And there's Bobbie with the Bobbie Bomb!
Adams: Stick a fork in Mercedes and Seleana, they're done! At least Seleana can say that she wasn't pinned in her home country!
Bobbie goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Bobbie Dahl!
Simone: Bobbie's back on the winning track after falling short in her return!
Adams: And Seleana and Mercedes are back to the drawing board!
Bobbie celebrates while Jasmine checks on Mercedes and Seleana starts to come too.
Backstage in the Avicii Arena, there is a backdrop of the upcoming Supercard event known as Violent Conduct X. And standing before that larger than life poster, is none other than the roving and buxom reporter known to the SCW Universe as Ms. Rocky Mountains.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Fans, we have just received news from the powers that be, namely "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward himself, and it regards my next guest! The current reigning Internet Champion, Helluva Bottom Carter!
Carter steps onto the scene and is greeted by the fans in Sweden with raucous cheers. Despite the fact he is not scheduled to compete, he is never the less dressed to do so in his "Miles Kasey" t shirt cut off to expose his toned midriff, denim booty shorts and over this ensemble is his favored purple feathered jacket. The Internet title belt itself is in his arms, in front of his upper body.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Carter, I know that you, like the fans watching, have been wondering what ... or shall I say, who is next in line for you and a chance at the Internet Championship.
Helluva Bottom Carter: I can't speak for anyone else, just myself. But I know I've been dying for a legit challenge, ever since that 'defense' I had a couple weeks ago against Justin Smith. Now don't get me wrong, that was fun and all but I worked hard to get my first championship here in SCW and I'd like the chance to defend it against someone that can say the same.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I completely understand, and that is what brings us to the topic of Violent Conduct X, to be held in London, England on the 29th of September! The conclusion of the 2024 Royal Pain tour...!
Carter playfully waves his hand about, beckoning for her to hurry up and get to the point.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: And that is your next defense, Carter! And you will be defending against the winner of NEXT WEEK'S Main Event! The first-ever Aces Are Wild Gauntlet match!
Helluva Bottom Carter: Gauntlet??? You mean Mark actually scheduled...?
Ms. Rocky Mountains shakes her head rapidly.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Oh no... nononono! He would never do that! This is classic Gauntlet rules! Six worthy challengers! Two men start and it continues on until your challenger has been decided with the last man standing!
This time Carter breaks into a genuine and excited smile.
Helluva Bottom Carter: Epic! Have any names been made official?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well let's see...
She holds up a clipboard and Carter peeps over her shoulder.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: To name a few... "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart...
Carter shrugs and nods, bottom lip jetted out.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Aiden Reynolds...
Carter nods and gives the camera a thumbs up.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Oh and LJ Kasey...
Carter starts to react and does a comical double take.
Helluva Bottom Carter: Pardon how I phrase this Rocky, but come again?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Erm... Lyle Kasey Junior is scheduled for the Gauntlet match?
Helluva Bottom Carter: LJ... as in my brother-in-law?
Ms. Rocky Mountains looks down at the clipboard and Carter again peers over her shoulder for a closer look. They raise their heads and she nods her own.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yes... it would appear your brother-in-law, Miles's brother, is one of six potential challengers for you next week.
Carter just stares off into space.
Helluva Bottom Carter: Hunh...! Isn't that funny?
Carter wanders off-camera, seemingly lost in thought as Ms. Rocky Mountains: watches after him....
Helluva Bottom Carter: (off camera) Funny... funny... funny...!
Justin: this is match is one fall and is a non title match up… introducing first…hailing from Seattle, Washington… he is the current SCW heavyweight champion… Finn Whelan.
"DO YOU CROSS YOUR HEART WHEN YOU HOPE TO DIE?"
The lights dim down and cast the arena in a red glow, and for a moment -- only a moment -- the crowd quiets down just a smidge. The drum riff opening that carries into an aggressive rhythm of guitar chords breaks out as "Black Lungs" by Architects blares out over the P.A. System. This brings the crowd to their feet -- both in a positive and negative reaction, completely mixed.
The spotlight doesn't fall upon the stage, instead flowing across the crowd as the lyrics describe more than just a time in the world. Finn Whelan appears not from the curtain, but from one of the visitor entrances with a semi-cocky swagger written into his denim jeans. He stops at the top of the steps for a moment, a slight smirk on his face as he glances down at the people around him, blockaded off by the typical burly security guards. The crowd is not booing, but they're not exactly cheering either. He sets his eyes upon the ring below, and then makes his way down slowly, ignoring the people around him though a few of them clap him on the shoulders as he decends.
At the barrier, he slings himself over and slides immediately underneath the bottom rope and leaps to his feet in the center of the ring. He heads directly for the ropes in front of him, and hops up onto the bottom one, bouncing slightly as he looks back at the crowd, choosing a few choice words to share with them. e drops down from it, and pulls of his vest as he heads to his place against the turnbuckle, leaning into it and looking upwards at the stage past his brow as his music fades out.
Justin: and his opponent…Hailing from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia… Aiden Reynolds.
The opening riff of Parkway Drive's "Vice grip" hits. The high speed gives way to Aiden Reynolds stepping out onto the stage, a fist in the air and a black leather jacket with "The Aussie Wolf" spray painted on the back. He moves his way down to the ring and as the refrain of the song hits he throws his arms out to the side as he and the crowd both chant.
"YEAAAH YEAH YEAH"
He leaps onto the apron and takes a few steps backwards before sling shoting himself into the ring and spinning around, he then stops and drops to one knee slamming his fist into the mat
The ref moves in and check both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung…
DING DING DING!
Whelan and Reynolds take a moment, as they stare at each other for a moment, before slowly inching forward and reach other, as they nervously touch fingers before grabbing at each other hands and getting a little closer, Reynolds grabs Whelan before dropping to a knee and grabbing Reynolds around the leg and quickly shifts his position and sends Whelan down to the mat, where he again quickly moves to grab Reynolds around the neck, as Reynolds pushes himself up to his knees, as he thinks about trying to escape, but Whelan then rolls himself and Reynolds across the ring, with the headlock still in place. Reynolds then wriggles free of Whelan's grip and grabs Whelan's arm before twisting and turns it into a wrist lock and pins his arm down to the mat.
Simone: Slow and nervous start for both, as Reynolds and Whelan take their time, as they go down to the mat as both try to get the upper hand, as Reynolds counters Whelan's move a couple of times, but Reynolds momentarily gets the upper hand and locks in wrist lock.
Whelan grimaces in discomfort as Reynolds leans forward putting extra pressure on the wrist, as Whelan begins to move his legs around before twisting and getting to his knees and twisting and reaching around and hooks Reynolds leg, as Reynolds release and becomes slightly unbalanced as Whelan pushes Reynolds backwards into a pin…
ONE!
Adams: Whelan quickly looks for a way out, as he twists and turns and hooks Reynolds leg and then pushes Reynolds onto his back for a pin, but Reynolds gets a shoulder up.
The ref stop as Reynolds gets his shoulder up before sitting up, As Reynolds looks to grab Whelan, but Whelan also does the same and both grapple for position, as Reynolds twists and grabs Whelan's ankle and bend it backwards, which Whelan grimaces in pain as Reynolds grabs Whelan's other foot places it on his other foot before place his own foot on top and puts pressure on them and Whelan grits his teeth in pain, as he takes a moment before hooking Reynolds arm and then drags him over onto his stomach before adjusting his grip to the other arm and bends his arm, but Reynolds quickly manages to adjust his arm to remove the pressure. Whelan slowly adjusts his and Reynolds into a seated position before Whelan grabs Reynolds legs and rolls him up into a small package…
Simone: Reynolds and Whelan continue to grapple for position before Reynolds grabs Whelan's ankle and works it over, which Whelan grits his teeth, but he quickly seeks a way out and hooks Reynolds arm and drags him onto his stomach, but Reynolds then adjusts his position and Whelan realises this and grabs Reynolds and rolls him up into a small package pin.
ONE!
Kickout…
Reynolds kicks out as he makes his way to his feet and quickly retreats away from Whelan into a corner, where he takes a moment, as Whelan stays on a knee before making his way to his feet. Whelan then begins to move and Reynolds comes out of the corner, where they circle the ring once more, where they move in and link one hand, which Reynolds pulls in Whelan close before breaking and grabbing Whelan around the waist, which Whelan quickly looks for way out of the move as he tries to grab one of Reynolds legs, but instead suddenly twists and drops to his knees and grabs one of Reynolds legs and take his down to the mat once more, where he then rolls Reynolds onto his front and ties his legs up and pulls them towards him. Reynolds grimaces in discomfort, as Whelan holds them for a few seconds before releasing and grabbing Reynolds head and into a headlock, which Reynolds gets to his knees before grabbing Whelan across the head and rolls him onto his back as the ref prepare for a pin, but Reynolds adjusts and grabs Whelan's arm and then attempts an arm bar.
Adams: Reynolds kicks out, as they both make there way to their feet. They circle the ring once more and move back in as Reynolds grabs Whelan by the hand and drags him before locking in a waist lock. Whelan quickly looks for a way out before suddenly twisting and dropping down to his knee and grabs Reynolds and takes him down to the mat.
Simone: We once again see then grappling on the mat with both trying to get the upper hand, as Reynolds switches things up and grabs Whelan's arm and tries for an armbar.
Whelan quickly hooks his fingers of his free arm to stop the arm bar, and Reynolds realises this and breaks the hold and climbs back to his feet, as Reynolds takes his time but moves to his feet, as they circle once more before moving in, where they link fingers but this time Reynolds boots Whelan in the stomach and Whelan lets go and Reynolds following up with a kick to the chest, which Reynolds then grabs Whelan's hand and Irish whips him into the corner, Reynolds follows up with a splash onto Whelan. Reynolds holds Whelan in place before following up with reverse elbows and Whelan drops to the mat in the corner. Reynolds looks down at Whelan before rushing forward turns and rushes forward to Whelan and hits a cannon ball, he rolls backwards and to his feet, where he grabs a foot and pulls Whelan from the corner and goes for a pin…
Adams: He can't lock the arm bar in and breaks and they both makes their way back to their feet.
Simone: They circle the ring once more and they link fingers, but Reynolds blinks first and he boots Whelan in the stomach before following up with a kick to the chest.
Adams: Now this is more like it. Reynolds whips Whelan into the corner, before following up with a splash, reverse elbows before making the final point of a cannon ball and into a pin…
ONE!
TWO!
Thr…kickout.
Reynolds looks to the ref, who tells him that Whelan got his shoulder up and Reynolds shakes his head before making his way to his feet, where he grabs Whelan and pulls him up into a seated position, before dragging him up to his feet and then lifts him onto his shoulder, where he looks for a fireman's carry slam, but once on Reynolds shoulder, Whelan begins to wriggle around on Reynolds shoulder before dropping down and lands behind Reynolds, where he hits an elbow shot to the back of Reynolds head. Reynolds stumbles forward but Whelan can't take advantage of it and drops to a knee.
Simone: Whelan kicks out, and Reynolds confirms the pin attempt with the referee before making his way back to his feet, where he lifts Whelan up to his feet and onto his shoulders, but Whelan begins to wriggle about on his shoulders and Whelan drops down and clatters Reynolds with an elbow but after that he can't take further advantage of it.

Simone: Reynolds is in trouble here, as Whelan stomps on Reynolds before hitting a standing moonsault. He then locks in a border city stretch as he looks to make him tap out.

DING DING DING
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall… Finn Whelan.
Whelan's music hits over the p.a, as he climbs off Reynolds and the ref raises his hand in victory.
The scene opens backstage where we see Aussie Bombshell Cassie Wollfe leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
Cassie: You know what? I tried to be the nice girl after I lost my debut match last week, gave Prudence credit where it was due, made plans to bounce back, hell even pointed out that Krystal's SCW Career started the same way!
Cassie shakes her head.
Cassie: Though if I can avoid the six month long losing streak that'll be great!
Cassie gets back on track.
Cassie: But then Raine had to open her mouth, mock me because I never replied to a tweet she sent out after I complained about no one accepting my challenge even though it never popped up in my notifications, in fact?
Cassie holds her phone her phone screen to the camera which has a screenshot of her Twitter Notifications.
Cassie: See anything missing? Here's a hint, it's Raine's tweet! How can I reply or even interact with something that I didn't know existed? I don't know if it had anything to do with the fact that we weren't following each other at the time or Twitter decided that you were too boring for me to bother with Raine but here's a little weather warning.
Cassie smirks.
Cassie: There's a high chance of there being Raine on your parade tonight after Prudence kicks your ass and earns that shot against Julianna! And since we're apparently meeting up at the Go Home Show? Then you get to deal with me!
Cassie flips some hair over her shoulder.
Cassie: Too all my fans? In a world of fake queens and generic bombshells with even more generic names? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And Raine? Be ready because I'm hungry like the wolfe!
Cassie walks off as the scene fades.
The cameras found themselves coming back out to the ring side area for the next scheduled contest of the night. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston begins to blast all across the speakers and as it does we are able to see Ruby Steele emerging from the curtain. She is clad in a sparkling ruby glow in the dark jacket. She isn't alone as her wife Courtney Pierce emerges through the curtain with her.
Justin: The following contest is the proving grounds finals. Introducing first at this time. From London, England. Being accompanied to the ring by Courtnet Pierce. She is... PRUDENCE PIERCE!
The jacket shines brightly and she excitedly sprints to the ring slapping the hands of the roaring fans. She does some cartwheels before finishing up with one massive backflip. She giggles before she slowly slides into the ring. She nips up to her feet and blows kisses to the crowd before she bounces about waiting for the match to begin. Meanwhile Courtney stands out of the ring grabbing Ruby's jacket as she waits for her wife to wrestle.
Adams: Last week Prudence picked up a pretty decisive victory against Cassie Wolfe to get herself in this position here tonight.
Simone: She sure did Jason. Now Prudence is only one win away from challenging for the Bombshell Internet Championship.
Adams: Indeed she is, but it's not going to be an easy win tonight. Prudence is going to have to dig deep down in herself to pull it out.
Simone: You're correct! Raine is going to be quite the opponent for Prudence.
The arena was filled with a jam-packed audience. Their excitement and buzz could be felt throughout the hold building. About that time there was a shift in the arena's lighting. Replaced with hints of purple, yellow, and white strobe lights. All while the start of "Run Away Girl" by Alice Merton began to pump through the speaker system. This resulted in a little excitement being felt from those in attendance.
Several cheers started to get a little louder. It wasn't but a few seconds later stepping out through the curtain was the one they called Raine. She had a smirk plastered across her lips as she stepped to the center with all eyes on her. Tugging at the ends of her ring jacket while peering out at the cheering crowd. She tossed her hand into the air to pump up the crowd a bit more as she began her journey to the ring.
Justin: And now introducing her opponent. Making her way to the ring at this time. From Seattle, Washington. The self proclaimed Queen of Self Mutilation, RAINE!
By the time the introduction had finished. Raine was right there at the ringside area. Slapping hands with a couple of fans there at ringside before turning herself towards the ring steps. She jogged right on up them. Taking a small stroll to the middle of the ring apron, Raine then stopped and put her back against the ropes as she peered out at the crowd again.
Her smirk had seemingly only gotten bigger from when she had first walked out. Tossing the hand of hers into the air again to get a reaction. Only for her to swing herself into the ring and quickly head towards the nearest turnbuckle. Climbing it up, she raised that hand into the air and then brought it over to her eyes as if she was creating a shield.
For her to be able to peer out at the people in the audience. This lasted for a few seconds before her theme song started to die down. Raine leaped from the turnbuckle to the ring, slowly starting to remove her ring jacket. Once it was off, she tossed it down in the corner of the ring before bringing her attention up to begin to prepare for the match about to happen.
Simone: Based on the expression Raine came out here with tonight. She's looking very much like she intends to be all business!
Adams: As it should be. The moment Raine walked into this company, she had doubt casted over her. That debut match of hers not going well and that kind of put her in a weird position.
Simone: Maybe so, but I think she did a fantastic job bouncing back in that triple threat match a couple weeks ago.
Adams: It was a great comeback, but she's still got a lot to prove.
Simone: Well now is a good time to do just that.
DING DING DING!
The match was underway leading to both women coming out of their respective corners. Once they met in the center of the ring there was a very tight collar and elbow tie up to take place. Prudence trying to get the upper hand by pushing towards Raine. But it was Raine who quickly took control with a knee right to the gut of Prudence causing the tie up to come to an end as Prudence leaned forward gasping for air as the knee caught her in just the right spot. From there Raine grabbed a handful of Prudence's hair and then snapped her back to the mat with a hair pulling snapmare. Prudence's head hitting head against the mat as she began to clutch it. Raine backed herself away into her corner.
Simone: Well this is a bit an orthodox'd.
Adams: You're not wrong Belinda. Most of the time when you got the upper hand on your opponent you stay on them, but Raine is opting to give Prudence time to recover.
Simone: I have heard that Raine was disappointed with her last outing. Feeling like her opponents should have given her more. Maybe she's just trying to feel out Prudence here.
Adams: Yeah that could be it. Or maybe there's something much more deeply rooted going on here that we don't know anything about.
Prudence was slow to sit up as she held the back of her head some more. Once she looked up she saw Raine just leaning there in the corner. She was kind of glared in Prudence's direction as she could be heard saying something to her.
Raine: Are you ready now? Are you ready to show me what you got?
Those remarks were met with some mixed responses. However it didn't seem like it settled well with Prudence. She quickly got right to her feet and began to rush towards Raine, but Raine already had it scouted as she managed to catch Prudence with an OPEN HAND PALM STRIKE right to the bridge of the nose. Instantly Prudence stumbled back, holding her nose.
Raine took a second to see if Prudence was going to do anything, but the moment the girl dropped her hands. And before anything else could take place, Raine proceeded to strike again but this time with a SUPERKICK right under Prudence's jaw knocking her against the mat. Raine found herself shaking her head a little bit while backing into her corner again leaving space between them. Again she could be heard.
Raine: You're clearly not ready.
Dawn found herself taking the time to kneel down beside Prudence to check on her. The blonde lifting her hair out of her face and the blood could be seen trickling down her nose from where she had been struck. Prudence looked horrified at the sight of her own blood.
Adams: Oh my! We got blood in the early going here Belinda.
Simone: Raine could have very well broken the nose of Prudence with that palm strike.
Adams: I am telling you. Something isn't right. She seems far more aggressive tonight than what she has been in her previous outings.
Simone: Where do you figure?! She choked-slammed Diamond Steele through a flaming table a couple weeks ago... That was pretty aggressive.
Adams: And strange as hell. Who goes that far in a Triple Threat Match?
Simone: Apparently Raine does.
Prudence held her hand against her nose as she was trying to stop the blood from coming down. Starting to push herself back up to her feet. When all of the sudden Raine grabbed her by her hair and helped pull her up the rest of the way. That grab though triggered something in Prudence as she surprised Raine with a massive OPEN HAND SLAP across the side of her face. It forced Raine to let go of her, the instant red hand print forming on her cheek.
This caused Raine to hold her jaw. Feeling the sting and the heat coming off the cheek from the slap. Right away she looked right at Prudence with a big of a smirk on her lips. Before she just BLASTED Prudence right in the jaw with a ROARING ELBOW dropping Prudence where she stood like a sack of potatoes. This is when Raine found herself dropping down and making the first pin attempt of the night. Dawn being right there to start the count.
ONE!
STRONG KICK OUT FROM PRUDENCE!
She managed to get her shoulder up off the mat right away. However the moment she kicked out and tossed that shoulder up off the mat. Raine found herself grabbing a hold of the arm and flipped herself into a position where she was able to lock in a FUJIWARA ARMBAR wasting no time to wrench that submission in harsh and deep. Prudence instantly began to shout in pain as the blood was continuing to pour down her nose and onto the mat.
Simone: My goodness Jason! She's about to pop Prudence's shoulder out of socket! Look at the torque on that armbar!
Adams: That's the thing about these deathmatch wrestlers. They tend to take things way too far. I'm afraid that Raine might be letting her true colors shine!
Raine had planted her feet into the mat and was really rising with that armbar as the screams of Prudence only got louder. Dawn on one knee asked if she wanted to tap, but Prudence wouldn't give. That's when Raine could be heard again. This time almost screaming at Prudence.
Raine: Prove yourself Prudence. For once in your career, prove yourself!
Prudence let out a scream in agony as she managed to bring up her arm that wasn't trapped and landed a dirty shot with a THUMB right to the eye of Raine. Blinding the woman and forcing Raine to break the hold. She rolled to her knees to try and get up but that jab to her eye had really done some damage. This created the space that Prudence needed to get to her feet. Favoring her arm and a bloody nose, she glared daggers at the back of Raine's head for a moment. Before she rushed in and connected with a nasty looking SHINING WIZARD to the back of Raine's head.
Adams: Shining Wizard to the back of the head! That's going to leave a mark.
Simone: Oddly enough. I think that's what Raine wants. It's almost like she is purposely antagonizing Prudence. Trying to get under her skin but motivate her at the same time.
That knee flattened Raine and had her face first down on the mat. Prudence finds herself in a position to drop down and roll her over with the one good arm that she had before making the cover. Hooking one of the legs for Raine for extra leverage.
ONE!
RAINE KICKS OUT RIGHT AWAY!
Prudence sat up for a second just glaring at her. Not pleased with the kick out in such a quick manner, but she forced herself up. She grabbed the long rainbow colored hair of Raine and pulled her up. From there she found herself hoisting Raine onto her shoulders. But no sooner than she got up. Raine landed a couple of stiff shots right to the side of her jaw with her elbow and slid right back down. She spun Prudence around and kicked her in the gut to force her to double over.
Raine then found herself wrapping one arm around her neck and head while grabbing a hold of the woman's tights and pulling her up into the air, but only for a second as she forced Prudence's legs outward before landing a perfect SUPLEX POWERBOMB right there in the middle of the ring. Finding herself keeping a hold of the legs and waist as she used her own legs to pin Prudence's shoulders down. Dawn is right there to make the count again.
Simone: Each time Prudence gets a little something going for herself., Raine quickly shuts it down!
ONE!
Adams: This match is very one sided so far. Prudence is going to have to start digging deep and hitting hard if she wants a chance at winning.
TWO!
Simone: After all the number one contendership for the Internet Championship is on the line! This is a big opportunity for both, but right now Raine appears to want it more.
KICK OUT FROM PRUDENCE!
Adams: Well at least for right now Prudence is still in it!
Raine sat there for a second with a smirk on her lips. Only to then turn and get up on her knees before standing up the rest of the way. Prudence was trying to crawl towards the corner, but before she could get there. Raine grabbed her by her long locks and pulled her up to her knees taking a look at her before she could be heard speaking.
Raine: I wanted competition in this proving ground series. You're failing yourself. And you're failing me!
She landed a knee to the face of Prudence which likely didn't help the situation with her nose. Prudence found herself falling into that corner that she had been desperately trying to get to moments ago. Raine takes a couple of steps back before rushing in. Using her entire body as a weapon when she launched herself forward for a CANNONBALL SENTON right there in the corner completely crushing Prudence and causing her head and neck to snap back.
Adams: Oh wow! The way Prudence's neck just snapped back!
Simone: That looked pretty nasty. I hope she's okay!
Raine had rolled out of the corner and onto her feet seeing Prudence just laying there in the corner in a heap. She reached down and grabbed a hold of both her arms. Yanking her out of the corner and into the air, but as she did that. Prudence countered in mid air and used both of her knees to strike, taking Raine down with a METEORA driving her into the mat with some force. Prudence bouncing off of Raine and landing flat on her stomach. But there was once again an opening for her.
Prudence was doing her best to get back to her feet. Raine was already sitting up shaking the cobwebs loose after being caught off guard. She stood up and turned around only to be met with a CHOP to the chest from Prudence. The woman then fired off with another chop and then another chop. Backing Raine up towards the ropes with each strike. Finally looking like she was about to take control of this match. She had Raine backed up against the ropes.
That's when Prudence grabbed her by the arm and attempted an irish whip, but it was Raine that countered ducking under the arm of Prudence and stopping short. She landed a kick right to the gut of Prudence to double her over. Only to find herself hooking Prudence's arms and lifting her up to land a harsh-looking TIGER DRIVER in the center of the ring.
Simone: Tiger Driver! That has to be it. No normal person gets up from being driven on their head and neck like that!
Adams: Even if Prudence feels like she could kick out. Don't. Just take the loss, live on to fight another day. Raine is proving to have her number tonight.
The look on Prudence's face said a lot. She looked very dazed after being driven on her head. Raine found herself then grabbing a hold of the arm of Prudence and yanking her up with force. Quickly popping her up onto her shoulders. Raine looked out at the crowd for a split second before attempting to hit the "RAINY DA-NOOO!" Prudence showed some fight still as she wiggled and wiggled until she was able to slip down the shoulders of Raine landing behind her. Before Raine could ever register what happened Prudence rolled her up from behind.
Adams: Surprise roll up from Prudence!
ONE!
Simone: She could become the new number one contender!
TWO!
Adams: This is what the proving ground series has been about. Proving yourself on a big scale!
RAINE POPPED HER SHOULDER UP!
Simone: Close! Prudence almost had Raine's number!
Right away Prudence was on her feet. Turning around to see Raine was on hers as well and sprinting right towards her. Prudence quickly SIDE STEPS Raine and forces her to hit the ropes to bounce back. On her way back it was Prudence that blindsided Raine with a SLING BLADE taking the Queen of Self Mutilation off her feet. Raine found herself sprawled out in the center of the ring with Prudence taking one look at her before making a mad dash towards the corner.
Prudence was quick to get to the top rope. She didn't stay perched there for long as she leaped from the top rope attempting a massive FROG SPLA-NOOOO! As Prudence was coming down for the move Raine sat right up and grabbed the girl by her throat causing Prudence to land on her knees. With that grip on the girl's throat Raine found herself standing up and pulling Prudence with her. Prudence shaking her head and trying to break the hold Raine had on her.
However it was no use with Raine then lifting Prudence up by her throat and driving her down to the mat with every bit of force she had for the "RAINEDROP" right there in the middle of the ring. Raine stood over what looked like to be a now unconscious Pruedence after such a thunderous finishing move.
Simone: You know for a smaller woman. Raine does have some impressive strength!
Adams: She sure does. To snatch someone out of mid-air like that is insane!
Everyone had expected the match to come to an end. Instead of going for the cover though, Raine reached down and grabbed a hold of Prudence by her throat a second time. Slowly but surely dragging the blonde Bombshell back to her feet. Holding her there as Raine shook her head while shouting at her.
Raine: This is the fight I expected from you!
As soon as those words left her lips. Raine gripped her throat a little harder and hoisted Prudence up into the air before driving her down into the mat for a second "RAINEDROP" as she found herself making the cover right away.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner. Proving Ground Series winner and now the number one contender for the SCW Bombshell Internet Championship, RAAAIIIINNNNEEEE!
As soon as the bell was heard, Raine rolled over to a sitting position and just looked down at Prudence with an almost disappointed expression. Shaking her head some before standing herself up where Dawn met her and grabbed a hold of her arm lifting it into the air. For the most part the cheers were heard, but there were some mixed reactions in there.
Adams: Massive massive win for Raine tonight, but it doesn't sound like everyone is on board with it.
Simone: Every fan has a right to show their feelings and show their opinions, but I don't get some of those that are booing her tonight.
Adams: Did you not watch the same match as me, Belinda? Raine was a tad bit on the aggressive side and didn't appear to have too much respect for Prudence.
Simone: Sometimes being aggressive is called for, but I don't know if I'd say she was disrespectful in any way. Maybe I just see things differently.
Back inside the ring Courtney was seen reaching into the ring and helping roll her wife out of it. Prudence clearly still dazed from the match. By then Raine had walked to the side of the ring and was making a motion to Justin. Right away he got up from the time keeper's table and walked over to her. Realizing that she wanted the mic which he handed over. Raine clutched it in her hand as she brought herself back to the center of the ring. Before looking out at the crowd.
Raine: That's not the match I wanted to give. That's not the match you people deserved to see.
She shook her head a little while pacing a bit.
Raine: I truly have the desire to be the best that I can be. Attempt to be a role model for some of you. Give you someone to cheer for from time to time. But that's becoming heard when I'm met with people like Prudence Pierce, Mercedes Vargas, and Diamond Steele. They don't seem to care. They don't have that drive. That passion. They don't have the desire to be at the top and it shows every time they step into the ring. It showed tonight and it frustrated me. I let the frustration get the best of me, and I shouldn't have. But damn it all I want to do is prove I belong here!
A certain hint of emotion sounded off in her voice. Her pacing finally came to a stop when she put her eyes right to the hard cam.
Raine: I am now the number one contender for the Bombshell Internet Championship. It's something I may have earned and it's something I should be proud of, but yet I feel as if its somehow tainted. Because of the sad competition I was given. But, that's something I'll have to deal with at Violent Conduct. Because I have to deal with one more hack job of a competitor in the form of Cassie Wolfe!
Some more mixed reactions were coming from the crowd. The woman sounded pretty fired up with the words she was letting come out of her mouth.
Raine: It was made official a few days ago, but next week. It will be Cassie and I standing in the middle of this ring as opponents. For those that are a bit behind. Cassie wanted to run her mouth about me several weeks ago. All because I got a match and she didn't. No one cared about her little open challenge and therefore she got her feelings hurt. Unfortunately for her, I'm the wrong one to sneak diss. I hold a grudge like no other and I let it be known I don't play that. Then last week when she lost her match. I laughed about it and that seemed to get her all fired up on the Elon machine.
For a second Raine stood there shaking her head. Only to bring the microphone back to her lips and keeping the attention on Cassie.
Raine: To which I found even funnier and I wasn't the only one. Now we have this match set for next week. I don't think you understand the kind of trouble you are in sugar. You see, I know I'm going to defeat you. It's an easy win for me. The writing is on the wall, but I need this to be a dominating victory. Making you tap out seems too easy. Prudence forced you to tap and that should say a lot. Pinning you doesn't seem like it would satisfy me. So, I am here to tell you now. Cassie, I guarantee you. Next week, I'm going to knock you out!
She lowered the microphone from her lips with quite the statement made. That shocked the crowd a little bit considering it was such a bold declaration. "Run Away Girl" found itself playing over the speaker system for a second time with Raine finally turning and starting to climb out of the ring. Causing the cameras to cut away from the ring side area for the time being.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see rookie Bombshell Harper Mason leaning against the wall with Josh by her side.
Harper: Not gonna lie Josh, I'm hoping that I'm in action on the Go Home Show next week.
Joshua: Want to get back to your winning ways after so long?
Harper: That and my birthday is literally the day after the Go Home Show!
Joshua nods as he gets the idea.
Harper: Also Jess told me that her baby's gonna pop out at some point next week.
Joshua: Wow! Exciting times ahead huh?"
Harper: Tell me about it! Off course she has no way of knowing when it'll come out exactly, she said the due date's the same day as my birthday but I know from when my kid siblings were born that it's rarely an exact science.
Joshua: True, not many babies are actually born on their due date.
Harper: Yeah, my little sister was born a whole week after her due date while my brother was born a few days before, plus Jessie's a new mother in her thirties so who knows what that'll entail for her.
Joshua: No matter what Shane will be there for her.
Harper: After everything they've been through I'm not surprised, but I am hoping that her daughter will be born knowing that I'm a winner at least.
Josh and Harper walk off as the scene fades.
The cameras were right back at the ringside. The excitement from the fans could be felt. It was time for the main event of the evening. "As Clouds" by NF begins A fog fills the stage area, as Eddie Lyons appears in the middle, hoodie up, and arms folded. He stands there looking down at the ring for a few moments.
Justin: The following contest is the finals of the Proving Ground series and is for the number one contendership of the SCW World Championship! Introducing first at this time. From Baltimore, Maryland. Weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds. He is the 'Unbreakable' EDDIE LYONS!
Shooting a fist into the air, Eddie pulls his hoodie down, and makes his way down the ramp, tagging the hands of a few fans along the way before climbing the stairs into the ring. Eddie extends his arms to both sides then drops to a knee, and punches the mat, he then moves to his corner to await the start of the match.
Simone: This really does have a big fight feel to it tonight, Jason.
Adams: You got that right. We got one of the best up and comers SCW has to offer in Eddie Lyons. Taking on one of the most decorative men in our history with Kris Ryans.
Simone: Battling it out to see who faces Finn for the World Title. I cannot wait to see this thing get underway!
The lights shut off leaving the entire arena pitch black. The screen at the top of the ramp flashes to life with the words: DO YOU BELIEVE? Knowing what is coming the fans roar to life just as the PA blasts out the opening lyrics to the theme in the most booming fashion. Two spotlights shine down on the stage as a remixed version of 30 Seconds to Mars "Walk on Water" plays through the PA system. Standing in the middle of the stage where the lights intersect is Kristopher Ryans.
Justin: And now introducing his opponent. All the way from Jet City. Weighing in at one hundred and eight pounds. He is 'The Miracle' KRIS RYANS!
The fans erupt with applause as he makes his way down the ramp. The white club symbol appears on the screen behind him. As he gets down to the bottom of the ramp, the camera passes him, circling around his side to see the orange letters on his white shorts reading "MIRACLE" down his right leg. We get behind him as he ascends the stairs, seeing that the back of his jacket displays the KR logo in the same shade of orange. He walks one side of the ring before stepping between the ropes before raise his hands in the air to triumphantly raise it up to the cheering crowd.
DING DING DING!
The match was officially underway. Lyons and Kris take the time to circle around each other. Not taking their eyes off one another. Very much a big fight-feel kind of atmosphere. As soon as they both met in the center of the ring it was a tight collar and elbow tie up for both men. They were jockeying for position. Kris had the height to him, but Lyons had the weight behind him. Making it difficult for either to get the upper hand. That was until Kris quickly yanked Lyons head putting him in a side headlock.
No sooner had he had that grip on Lyons. It was Lyons who wrapped both of his arms around the waist of Kris taking him a couple of steps back and shooting him towards the ropes. Kris hit them and came back a standing still Lyons, but Kris shifted just enough to hit Lyons with a huge shoulder block taking him off his feet. Kris took one look at Lyons laying there on the mat before turning and rushing towards the ropes to hit them for leverage.
As soon as he came back Lyons tried to trip him up by rolling over, but Kris leaped right over him and hit the ropes a second time. The moment he came back Lyons was up as he grabbed him and took Kris over the top of him with a BACK BODY DR-NO! Kris flipped right out of it and landed on his feet to an impressive response from the crowd. Lyons turned around in confusion and as soon as he did Kris pulled him in connecting with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT that sent Lyons falling backwards and through the ropes landing on the floor on the outside.
Simone: These two seem to have a good understanding of each other already!
Adams: They sure do. Kris is trying to use his speed and Eddie is trying to shut it down with strength.
Simone: This might end up being one of the best main events of the year.
Adams: I sure hope so with how big the stakes are on this match!
Kris took one look at Lyons trying to collect himself on the outside. Before rushing towards the ropes for leverage as he charged forward full speed for a BASEBALL SLI-NOOO! Lyons sidestepped the dropkick as Kris slid out of the ring and landed on his feet. Looking a little confused until Lyons spun him around and landed a huge ELBOW STRIKE to the jaw knocking Kris against the apron. Jacob now approaches the side of the ring to tell them to bring it back into the ring.
For the moment he was ignored as Kris fired back with a FOREARM STRIKE to not be outdone done. Next thing the fans saw was both men engaging in a fury of strikes back and forth amongst each other. Neither getting the upper hand for a moment, that was until Lyons landed a ROARING ELBOW that caused Kris to go limp as he fell into the ring apron again. Quickly, Lyons grabbed a hold of Kris waist and then rolled him into the ring. Lyons sliding in himself and rolling Kris over to make the cover.
ONE!
KRIS KICKS OUT RIGHT AWAY!
Adams: Eddie should have known better than that. You're not taking down a multi-time champion in Kris with a simple elbow.
Simone: Stranger things have happened before, but I would have to share the same mindset. It's going to take a lot more than that to take Kris Ryans down.
Lyons stayed in control as he grabbed a hold of the arm of Kris and got to his feet putting Kris up as well. Keeping that arm twisted at an angle, he then pulled Kris in and connected with a huge NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX before floating over and getting to his feet with his grip still on Kris. The moment he got back to his feet he hoisted Kris up with him but this time putting him in the BRAINBUST-NOOO! Kris could be seen fighting by swinging his legs and using the momentum to land on his feet behind Lyons.
Kris found himself wrapping his arms around Lyons going for something, but he was quickly met with a BACK ELBOW to the jaw that forced Kris to let go and back up. Lyons went sprinting towards the ropes and hit them for momentum. The moment he came back, Kris was ready as he quickly caught Lyons off guard with the element of surprise by hooking him and then driving him into the mat with the SIDE EFFECT smacking Lyons' head and back off the mat. Kris going for the cover right away.
ONE!
STRONG KICK OUT FROM EDDIE!
Simone: That was a nice side effect by Kris to cut off the momentum Lyons had.
Adams: But Eddie is quite the competitor. It's going to take a lot more than that.
Right away Kris was getting to his feet as he grabbed a hold of the head of Lyons to pull him up. As soon as he had Lyons up, it was Lyons that smacked Kris' arms up and away from him before catching the man right on the chin with a HEAD BUTT which resulted in Kris falling back into the corner in a daze. Kris tried to shake the cobwebs loose from such a harsh shot, but by the time he seemed like he knew what was going on. Lyons had rushed in and landed a KNEE right to the face of Kris there in the corner.
Kris nearly went limp, but it was the body of Lyons that kept him upright. From there Lyons grabbed a hold of the wrist of the Miracle and yanked him out of the corner towards him. As soon as he did this, it was Lyons leaping into the air to bring Kris down with a LEAPING NECKBREAKER right there in the center of the ring. The crowd loved the fast pace and heard hitting action already. Lyons finding himself then going for a cover right away.
Adams: That was quite the knee and neckbreaker combo from Eddie!
ONE!
Simone: We're going to see both of these men dig deep into their bag tonight.
TWO!
Adams: You damn right we are Belinda. They know that a shot at the World Championship is right there for their taking. All they have to do is win!
KRIS KICKS OUT AGAIN!
Simone: But it will no doubt come down to who wants it more than anyone else!
Lyons sat there on his knees nodding in approval of Kris' ability to keep fighting. He grabbed a hold of Kris' head and started to pull him up to his feet. Once they were both at a vertical basis, it was Lyons that landed a stiff kick to the gut of Kris causing him to double over for a moment. Lyons took a couple steps back and then landed a THRUST KICK right to the side of Kris' head forcing him to stand back up while spinning around. Lyons coming in with a ROARING ELB-NOOO! Kris stuck both hands up to block.
Before landing a FRONT KICK right to the chest of Lyons knocking him into the ropes. He bounced right off the ropes and tried to come back with a REBOUND LARI-NOOO! Kris ducked under it and when Lyons realized he missed. He stopped himself short to turn around and that was a mistake on his end. Kris tossed his body into the air to take RUNNING WHEEL KICK taking Lyons right off his feet. Lyons laid out there in the ring as Kris quickly rolled himself over and made the cover.
ONE!
Simone: That kick looked like it really knocked Eddie loopy!
TWO!
Adams: Kris is the most lethal when using his feet in some capacity. Something Eddie better remember after that kick.
LYONS POPS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Simone: Well he's going to live on a few more minutes in this match to remember it.
Adams: But, we have seen what happens when Kris gets control of a match. This could be the true turning point to the match!
Kris took a hold of Lyons by his wrist and pulled him up along with him. Right away Kris went for an Irish Whip, but it was Lyons that COUNTERED and whipped Kris right into the corner. His back hitting harshly against the turnbuckle pads. Kris had no sooner that hit the corner and Lyrons was rushing in going for a SPE-NO! Kris sidestepped the move and Lyons crashed SHOULDER FIRST into the metal post. Lyons came stumbling backwards out of the corner favoring that shoulder.
This was seemingly the opening that Kris needed. He quickly grabbed a hold of Lyons and spun him around before hooking that damaged shoulder. Kris hooked the arm deep and then proceeded to leap up while pulling Lyons down with him driving the man down into the mat shoulder first for a modified SHOULDER BREAKER! As soon as Lyons hit the mat shoulder first, he instantly rolled over favoring that shoulder while yelling out in agony. Kris got right to his feet and headed for the corner.
Adams: This is what I was talking about. Kris is firmly in the driver's seat now!
Simone: I could only imagine what it felt like to have your shoulder hit nothing but steel post.
Adams: By no means is any kind of fun Belinda.
Simone: Oh! Look at Kris is up top!
Sure enough inside the ring Kris had made his way to the top rope as he took a look down at Lyons. By that point he was trying to get back to his feet and that's when Kris launched himself from the top rope to land "SMACKSHOT" right on Lyons. Only difference was instead of going for the neck like usual, Kris made sure to land that signature leg drop right across the injured shoulder of Lyons putting him right back down on the mat. Kris scrambled to roll the man over to make the cover.
Simone: Kris drove that heavy knee brace of his onto the shoulder of Eddie!
Adams: I guarantee you that was done by design!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NOOO!
LYONS MANAGED TO KICK OUT IN TIME!
Adams: Eddie is showing what a legitimate tough guy he is right now!
Simone: But what good is he going to be in this match with just one arm?!
Kris sat up running his hands over his face. A little bit of frustration started to set in, but he kept his composure. He grabbed that injured arm of Lyons starting to yank him up to his feet. He landed a stiff shot with his free hand to the shoulder as it dropped Lyons down to his knees. Again, he just yanked him up but this time is when Kris tossed Lyons up on his shoulders. Whatever it was he had planned, it was put on pause when Lyons started to land a couple elbows to the side of his head.
Each elbow stronger than the previous until he managed to drop Kris down to one knee. Right away Lyons slipped off his shoulders and then managed to transitioned into pulling Kris down to the mat while wrapping the one good arm he had around the head and neck of The Miracle for the "PRIDELOCK" leaving Kris in a panic as he was right there in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go. Doing his best to wrench it in a little tighter with the fans showing their support.
Simone: The pridelock is in deep!
Adams: This is one of the few areas that Kris does not excel in. If you manage to ground him with submissions, he's out of his element!
Simone: You can see the panic setting in his face. He's desperate to find a way out!
Adams: This might be one of the biggest wins of Eddie's career, if he can pull this off!
Lyons had that submission locked in deep now. Kris could be seen starting to fade with the longer he had spent in that hold. His hands go limp and no longer fighting against that submission. Jacob has no other option but to drop down to one knee and grab a hold of Kris' arm holding it up in the air for a moment. Letting go of the arm of Kris as it DRO-NOOO! At the last second Kris showed signs of life again by shooting that arm right back into the air.
His hands coming right back up against the arm of Lyons trying to pry it away. Of course Lyons doing whatever he could to keep it locked in, but it was Kris that then threw an elbow right into the ribs of Lyons not only knocking the wind out of him but forcing the hold to be broken. Kris got up gasping for air still after being choked almost unconscious. He turned himself around to see Lyons getting to his feet, leading to him rushing in for "GODSPE-NOOO!" Lyons moved out of the way at last second.
Kris came crashing down into the mat back first. He hit with such a thud, but to his credit he was still determined. Knowing he had missed, he favored his back and rolled over trying to get up to his feet. He had only got up to his knees before Lyons caught him right up under the chin with "MANE KICK" rolling Kris eyes in the back of his head as he went limp against the mat. Lyons dropped down to his knees right away and rolled the man over to make the pin. Jacob sliding down to start the count.
Adams: Eddie really rocked Kris' world with that knee!
ONE!
Simone: Just slumped the Hall of Fame the moment it connected!
TWO!
Adams: It might have been exactly what he needed!
THR-NOOOOO!
KRIS KICKED OUT WITH FORCE!
Simone: Kris is still in this thing! That's the fighter we have seen in him over the years!
Lyons sat there on his own knees. A look of 'what do I need to do' settling on his face. Forcing himself to stand back up, he then reached down and grabbed a hold of Kris by the head starting to lift the man up to his feet. He took his head and then tucked it under his arm. Calling for the end with a motion to the crowd before he lifted Kris up and "LYONS ROAR DD-NOOO!" Kris blocked it as he swung his feet back down and then shoved Lyons away while pulling his head away to avoid the move.
Knowing that he couldn't let Kris get any momentum going. Despite finding free himself, Lyons applied the pressure by rushing Kris for a BICYCLE KI-NOOOOOOO! Kris dodged that too by slapping the foot away of Lyons and then launching himself into a sprint. Lyons turned around as Kris bounced off the ropes and just annihilated him with "GODSPEED"! That foot catching Lyons in the face and flipping him inside out before he hit the mat.
Simone: Godspeed! Godspeed! This has to be over!
Kris was on his back for that split second after hitting the move, but was quick to force himself to sit up. Lyons despite nearly having his head taken off. Somehow managed to start rolling towards the side of the ring. Kris acting fast and trying to crawl towards him, but just as he got there Lyons had rolled right off the apron and to the outside essentially keeping himself safe for now.
Adams: It would have been, but the ring awareness of Eddie is something special!
Simone: Ring awareness? I call that luck. I don't think Eddie has a clue where he is right now.
Adams: Maybe, maybe not but by getting out of the ring. He is making Kris have to waste more time and energy which is going to work in the favor of the Unbreakable.
A visibly frustrated Kris managed to roll himself out of the ring and reach down to grab a hold of Lyons. Of course he was deadweight after that kick that put him out. However, Kris managed to lift him up and then roll him back into the ring from under the bottom rope. Kris slid right in and go into the pinning position with his back on Lyon's chest and hooking one of the legs for extra leverage.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NOOOO!
z LYONS HOOKS KRIS AND ROLLS HIM OVER FOR HIS OWN PIN!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NOOOOOOOOO!
KRIS KICKS OUT!
Adams: Lyons almost snuck the win!
Simone: That might have caused the roof to come off this building. These fans are loving everything they are seeing right now!
Adams: But you do have to wonder. How much they have left in the tank as this match goes deeper!
Simone: These two are true competitors at heart. I think they could fight all night if they had to.
Kris had rolled all the way to his feet as Lyons pushed himself up. Wasting no time at all Kris cut Lyons off with a well placed kick to the gut and then scooped him onto his shoulders. The excitement of the crowd causing the building to shake as they knew what was next. Kris went to end it with "MIRACLE'S E-NOOOO!" Lyons somehow managed to flip right out and land on his feet. He spun himself around and caught the surprised Kris with a kick before driving him head first into the mat with "LYONS ROAR DDT" spiking the Hall of Famer head first, but both men were spent and Lyons couldn't make the cover.
Simone: Come on Eddie! This is your time!
Adams: That DDT had to have stunned Kris in a major way, but he can't make the cover fast enough!
Lyons was finally able to shift his body and roll over just enough to toss his arm over the chest of the seemingly out of it Kris Ryans. Once again Jacob there to make sure he could make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NOOOOOOOOO!
KRIS KICKS OUT! KRIS KICKS OUT! KRIS KICKS OUT!
Lyons eyes said all they needed to say as he laid there. The crowd finding themselves somehow being louder with this match continuing on for the moment.
Adams: I don't know how he did it. I really have no idea how Kris was able to kick out!
Simone: It's just sheer love for the business and desire to be the number one contender! This is what Sin City Wrestling should be all about!
Both men were finding a way to get to their feet. Kris gets to his feet first with the help of the ropes. Lyons getting to his feet with the help of the corner. As they turned around they met right in the center of the ring finding themselves trading blows. Kris throwing punches, Lyons throwing elbow strikes. Neither one of them truly has the upperhand just yet. That was until Kris used his head and caught Lyons with an unsuspecting headbutt. Lyons stumbled backwards for a moment which allowed Kris to quickly scoop him onto his shoulders and then drive him into the mat with "MIRACLE'S END" from a roaring ovation from the crowd. Kris finding himself going for the cover right away!
ONE!
Simone: The Miracle's End! So many people have fallen victim to that move!
Adams: That has to be it. I don't know how it couldn't be!
TWO!
Adams: Kris versus Finn is going to be quite the match to see. The Old Guard versus the New Guard of SCW!
Simone: As much as I liked this match. I selfishly wanted to see Eddie versus Finn!
THRE-NO!
LYONS KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!
Simone: Waiiiiiiiiit! We spoke way too soon! Eddie still has something left in the tank!
Adams: These men have got to be tired. Every bit of them has to hurt all over. How can they keep powering through like this?!
Kris had the same look of surprise on his face that Lyons had moments ago. Both men had literally gave it their best shot and it hadn't worked. Kris found himself slowly getting up and backing into the corner. He was calling for Lyons to get to his feet. His eyes really zeroed in on the young man. Lyons unsuspecting to what was waiting in the winds for him. He powered up to his knees and then right on up to his feet. Slowly turning himself around.
There is when Kris exploded from the corner "GODSPEE-NOOOO!" Lyons sidestepped the kick again, but Kris was able to avoid landing on his back. However he didn't even get a chance to register what had just happened before Lyons grabbed a hold of him and spun him around. Right away wrapping hs arm around the head of Kris and lifting him up "LYONS ROAR DD-NOOOO!" Kris blocked the move and spun out while holding Lyons by the arm and shooting the man towards the ropes.
Lyons hit them and bounced right off to come back to Kris who blasted him with "GODSPEED" again flipping the man inside out. Lyons smacked chest first but somehow managed to stand up seemingly outn of instinct despite looking out of it. Kris drilled him a second time with "GODSPEED" putting Lyons flat on his back in the middle of the ring. Somehow that wasn't good enough Kris backed into the corner and screamed at him to stand up.
Adams: He's called for a third in a row?!
Simone: This is a bit much! Kris it's over! Just pin him!
Adams: I don't think it's that simple Belinda! Both men have thought this was over a few times and it wasn't. He has to make sure!
Simone: No, this is taking it too far if you ask me.
Kris kept begging for Lyons to stand up, and it was working. Every bit of Lyons face said the lights were on, but no one was home as the man somehow managed to roll himself over and start to stand up on his feet. His legs wobbly and almost unable to keep him standing up but that was enough for Kris. He didn't even wait for the man to turn around as he exploded from the corner for a third "GODSPEED" this time to the back of the head taking Lyons out. He dropped down and rolled the man over for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and NEW number one contender for the SCW Heavyweight Championship, KRRRIIIISSSS RYYYAAANNNNS!
The moment the bell sounded Kris rolled himself off of Lyons and just laid there on the mat looking exhausted. Jacob found himself kneeling beside both men to check on them after such an epic performance.
Simone: Wow, just wow. I might not have personally liked the ending. But both these men gave it everything they had tonight. Kris just wanted it more.
Adams: That was one of the best performances of the year. I'd put that right up there in the top five matches of the year. Congratulations Kris Ryans!
Simone: He now has a chance to become the SCW World Heavyweight Champion for a third time in his career.
Adams: That's not going to be easy to do. Finn has a stranglehold on that championship. But I am sure it'll be a match for the ages!
Inside the ring Kris was using the ropes for leverage to keep himself standing in an upright position. He turned around just to see Lyons sitting up in the ring. Both men made eye contact with each other and the message was felt loud and clear among them. Lyons rolled himself out of the ring as Kris to the center of it. Jacob right there to lift his hand in the air. The crowd cheered the Hall of Famer on. With this being the closing shot for Climax Control 404.
