The opening shot of Denver, Colorado's 1stBank Center is a close up of the SCW-Tron, and on that very screen is none other than the former World Heavyweight and World Tag Team Champion, "Big Tiger" Jeremiah Hardin. The crowd is quiet ... respectful ... The camera angle pulls out to show the entirety of Sin City Wrestling standing atop the stage. At the forefront stands SCW's Co-Owners, Mark Ward and Christian Underwood at their sides. The reporters and referees stand close by, and around them are the men and women, the Superstars and Bombshells gathered together for this one moment to pay tribute to one of their own. Everyone from champions and challengers alike stand quiet and respectful.
The camera slowly changes over toward the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams both stand.
Inside of the ring, Justin Decent stands center-ring, dressed in a dark gray suit.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, if you will, I would ask you all to please rise and join us as we pay our respects to the memory of one of SCW's very own! Former World Tag Team Champion and World Heavyweight Champion ... "Big Tiger" Jeremiah Hardin!
Slowly, but as one, the entirety of the fandom in the stands and in the seats surrounding the ring on the field, stands and they turn toward the stage...
The final bell tolls, and everybody onstage as well as the capacity crowd applauds the memory of Jeremiah Hardin.
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
The camera then transitions to the ringside area where we join Belinda Simone and Jason Adams at the broadcasters table!
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to Sin City Wrestling Climax Control! It is indeed a sad day here tonight in Denver as we bid a fond farewell to one of the best and broghtest Superstars to have ever graced the six-sided ring. "Big Tiger" Jeremiah Hardin.
Adams: I remember his matches for the World Championship against "Rage" Jake Sullivan. That rivalry was epic!
Simone: Indeed it was and "the Big Tiger" will be forever remembered by everyone here in Sin City Wrestling. And it is right here in the 1stBank Center we kick start the Road To Inception VII! We are already hearing rumblings toward the championship scene for the first Supercard of 2025!
Adams: I bet Mark and Christian are going to want to kick start the New Year off right! They always do!
Simone: And we are kicking tonight's evening inside of the six-sided ring off right with the return of former World Tag Team Champion Connor Murphy! He opens things up against Justin Smith!
Adams: I barely recognized him at High Stakes XIV! He looked like a whole, new man! But poor Bobbie Dahl! She made the challenge to Harper Mason and credit where it's due, she's living up to it tonight! In fact, Bobbie is going to compete against Song in her baby costume!
Simone: In one of his first matches as an SCW Superstar, Lyle Kasey Junior fell in defeat to Kris Ryans! Tonight, many months later, they have a one on one rematch!
Adams: We don't have Bombshell tag team matches very often but when we do... WOWZA! There's been hints of issues between Harper Mason and Cassie Wolfe after what happened at High Stakes XIV! To prove their loyalty to each other, they asked for this tag team match with an open challenge! Crystal Zdunich wasted no time in accepting and she brought with her Mackenzie Page of London Underground!
Simone: Several weeks ago, Felix 'the Cat' Hernandez scored a huge upset win over Kris Ryans who was number one contender to the Internet Championship at the time. As such, the higher ups have stated that qualifies Felix to challenge Helluva Bottom Carter for the gold right here, tonight!
Adams: And in the Main Event for the World Mixed Tag Team Championship! The Lyons Den did the seemingly impossible task by dethroning the Wolves of Gesundheit for the championship! And tonight, Kayla and Finn are out to take back their tag team titles!
Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!
The 1st Bank Center was lively with all the fans in attendance. Lots and lots of loud cheers being heard. A small rotating shot of the fans at ringside could be seen. They very much couldn't wait for the first bit of action of the night based on that response. That overwhelming positive response was about to take a turn with the opening sounds of "The Devil In I" by Slipknot pumping through the speaker system. Right on cue those cheers went to boos.
Nasty hateful sounding boos and it wasn't like too many people could blame them for their response. In a matter of seconds a very sharp suit dressed Kevin Carter came walking through the curtain onto the stage. There was a slight limp in his step. Likely having everything to do with that street fight only a few weeks ago. The ovation he was receiving made him just stop right there at the top of the stage and soak it all in with a smirk on his lips.
Adams: Oh God. I have been dreading this since High Stakes.
Simone: I think you and just about everyone else here tonight has been dreading this moment. Kevin picked up a massive win over our boss 'Hot Stuff' Mark Ward at the biggest event of the year a few weeks back. And I'm sure he's going to remind us of that.
Adams: I'd put my car and my house on the line when it comes to a bet like that. You know damn well he's going to remind us of that moment. I'm still in shock that he was able to kick out of Red Hot. Something only less than five men have been able to ever do.
Simone: As much as I might not like Kevin's attitude or what he stands for. The one thing that cannot be denied is he and Mark put on one hell of a match that'll be talked about for years!
By this point Carter had reached the ringside area. Finding himself gingerly taking a few steps up those ring stairs. Making his way across the apron to the middle of it. Turning his back to the ropes. Letting his eyes as far as they could see scan the arena. Not once did the booing let up. The nasty comments being hurled in his direction could still be heard. The man could do nothing more than smirk before swinging his left leg over the middle rope and then ducking down to climb inside.
Once in the ring Carter made his way across the ring. Motioning with his right hand over to Justin. It was clear what the man wanted. Hopping out of the chair he sat at, Justin rushed over and handed off the microphone. Carter snatched it with aggression and brought it inside the ring. Making a small motion towards his throat. That was the cue needed to start turning his music off. Before he could even attempt to speak. Those boos got louder. They wanted to make it known. They had no interest in hearing him speak, but they were about to have no choice.
Kevin Carter: Do you people think this is an appropriate response?
His remarks were met with an instant negative response. He stood there just shaking his head for a second.
Kevin Carter: I mean I understand that you might be a little upset. Might be a little hot under your collar, but at the same time you knew this was coming. I told you people weeks ago. Hell, I told you people months ago. One way or another Sin City Wrestling was going to be mine to rule. Right alongside J2H. Each and every bit of this was going to be ours. But you didn't want to listen. You didn't want to take what we said seriously. You didn't want to believe in me. Now look at you. Look at the situation you are in. You're the reason you all feel let down, disappointed, and frustrated. It's got nothing to do with me. I'd even go as far as saying it has nothing to do with Mr. Ward himself!
Carter found himself just glaring out at the crowd.
Kevin Carter: Yes, he tried to be the hero. He tried to be the stand up good guy. He tried to be the boss you all know and love. And he put up one hell of a fight at High Stakes. I am man enough to admit that, but the writing was on the wall long before that match even took place. Everything that I am. Everything that I stand for. Every bit of talent that I have. It was all too much for Mark to overcome. That much was clear from day one, but again. You people didn't want to believe in me. You didn't want to give me credit where it was due. So like I said, I told you this place would be mine. One way or the other. I just didn't know I'd have to go through him to get it, I didn't know I'd have to put the old man down and out of his misery, but I did and it feels so fucking good.
His sinister grin that crossed his lips was not even the least bit impressive to those sitting in the crowd and they were letting him know about it.
Kevin Carter: But you can't be mad at him. You can't blame him for failing. You can put all the weight on his shoulders. It isn't Mark's fault. It's yours. It will always be yours and the sooner you people learn to start taking accountability for your own actions and your own feelings. Maybe just maybe then and only then will you learn to start actually mattering in this world. Instead of being just a disgusting useless wart on society. I don't expect a lot. I don't expect you to make a turn around or to even finally admit your faults people, but if you did. Things would be a lot greater.
Inside the ring Carter had found himself starting to pace around a bit. Continuing to take those boos and that hatred being tossed in his direction right on the chin. Seemingly unbothered by it all.
Kevin Carter: As far as I am concerned Mark is in the rear view mirror. He's no longer a concern of mine. He can come back if he wants to, but when he does. He's going to have to answer to me. He's going to have to answer to J2H. Just like everyone in that locker room is going to have to answer to us and just like every single one of you from this point on will have to answer to us. Way I see it after a win like that. I'm your boss now!
There was a close up shot of that man's smirk. It was just the most smug thing. Just enough to keep the crowd from running out of steam with their hatred.
Kevin Carter: Now as your boss, as a man with control, and as a man that has his own agenda. That leads me to my next order of business. From the moment I walked back into SCW I had said there was something I was after. I had said there was something I needed, something I craved, and something that I needed to achieve to make all the wrongs done to me almost twelve years ago right. But at no point was I ever truly granted access to what I needed to make that happen. I kept getting held down. I kept getting people and things thrown in my way to block the path. I kept being put in situations where I had to focus on anything but the ultimate goal of mine. However, now that I call the shots. It's time to get back on the path and the path leads me to gold being around my waist where it has always belonged.
Standing right there in the middle of the ring. He motioned around his waist to further back up his point. Not that it appeared that anyone in the audience was on board with what he was saying.
Kevin Carter: If we are being honest here. I'd already have a title shot waiting for me in a few weeks, if it wasn't for Mark costing me in that High Stakes Rumble. But again that just further proves my point with being held back and constantly being kept from my goals. Instead now we have to see Eddie -- who knows deep down at heart and at his core. He doesn't deserve to have that title shot, but nevertheless. We get to watch him piss it away in a few weeks because someone like him doesn't know where his place is. He doesn't know how to understand there is a ceiling over his head and he will never break through it. No matter how hard he tries to be the little engine that could. You get to watch him once again let you down. It's a recurring theme with Eddie and you all know it.
His words really struck a chord with the audience. Rightfully so considering for a good while now he was one of the few people they were firmly behind. Carter standing there rolling his eyes a bit, not the least bit impressed with their unwavering faithfulness.
Kevin Carter: That's fine, Eddie. Go ahead. Piss away the opportunity you didn't deserve. Go ahead and fumble it. Let it slip right through your fingers. It's what you are good for. Meanwhile before you all know it. I'll be in contention for the very thing I want and have always wanted. I'll be in a position where I don't fumble the ball, where I don't come up short, and where all the chips are in my favor. All it's going to take is a little bit more patience on my end. Picking and choosing that right spot. That right moment if you willl. Then deciding when the best moment is to strike. Once I do that. Not only will you fans be more pissed than you are now. But there's going to be one man in particular that is going to find himself stripped of everything he's ever had. All within the blink of an eye.
Taking a few steps forward. Carter found himself leaning right into the ring ropes. Looking directly at the hard cam with those piercing eyes.
Kevin Carter: Lots will be said. Tensions are going to boil over. Fists are going to be thrown. Chaos will ensue. And history will be made. Simply put, you and I are going to have ourselves a very interesting time, champ!
Following those words, Carter flipped the microphone right out of his hand. It could be heard hitting the ring mat with a thud. Like clockwork, "The Devil In I" by Slipknot began to play throughout the speakers for a second time. Carter found himself raising his arms up at his side with that smug smirk still on his expression. Again those loud and hateful boos were hurled in his direction, but at this point it was a given that it was nothing more than fuel to the fire for him.
Simone: Is he talking about who I think he's talking about?
Adams: You know me Belinda. I'm not one that likes to assume or anything like that. Especially not with him. He's so widely unpredictable at times it's not even funny, but it very much does seem like that's where this was going.
Simone: I'm not quite sure that this company is ready or will ever be ready for a match of that magnitude.
Adams: You might have a point there, but at this point. Who is going to stop Kevin from anything he wants to do? We have seen what he's capable of and what lengths he will go to. Not sure there's anyone that can stop him from what he wants. Champion or not.
Inside the ring Carter was finding himself stepping back through the ropes. Dropping down from the apron and landing on both feet. Those fans right there at the ringside area found themselves leaning over the guardrail to boo him. Even going as far as to lean over it and try to put their hands in his face. Carter simply kept walking forward with a smug expression. Not giving them the time of day with a proper response. That's when the cameras cut away for the time being.
Artie is seen standing outside a locker room. He's leaning against the wall with his arms folded and a slightly annoyed expression on his face. The door is cracked slightly and he leans towards the opening.
Artie: I still don't understand why you're making me stand out here, Bobbie. I've seen you change before, and you're just putting on that—
Bobbie: It's a surprise! I really think I did great putting this costume together!
Artie shakes his head and sighs. How surprising could a baby costume be, he quietly thought. But he does as he's told and waits patiently. After a few moments, the door swings open and when Artie spins around to face his wife, his jaw drops.
Bobbie: Whaddya think?!
Artie stares at her, shocked. She's not in the baby costume like she is supposed to be, rather in sexy black lingerie!
Artie: That…that's not the baby costume, Bobbie.
Artie fumbles on his words as Bobbie half twirls, clearly enjoying herself.
Bobbie: No, but it's a baby making outfit!
Artie: You, uh, better go change before Harper sees you in this. You need to stick to your word and not try and—
"Good lord, Bobbie, what are you wearing?!"
Artie is quickly interrupted as Pussy Willow walks up to them, staring wide-eyed at Bobbie with confusion.
Bobbie: What does it look like? I just wanted to see some reactions to my baby-making outfit!
Pussy: That…was not the stipulation you made with Harper. She's not going to be too happy about this…
Bobbie: Ohhh relax! I've got the baby costume inside. I just wanted to see Artie's reaction. I'll go change.
She grins and laughs before she disappears back inside. Pussy Willow turns and looks at Artie.
Pussy: Be honest, sweetie. You don't want her to change into that baby costume, do you?
Artie grins innocently then scratches and shakes his head. Pussy Willow laughs as they wait for Bobbie to change.
Simone: It's time for our opening contest! At High Stakes Connor Murphy returned to SCW after a few tears away to announce that he was wrestling again but tonight he faces his debut match as je takes on the rough but always ready Justin Smith in singles action!
Adams: Justin has been a persistent force in SCW since he arrived and he was last seen in the men's High Stakes Rumble which was eventually won by Eddie Lyons, if anyone can test just how rusty Connor is!
Simone: Let's not waste anymore time! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS YOUR OPENING CONTEST OF THE EVENING, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
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: Introducing first! From Tarrytown, New York! Weighing 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.
Simone: Justin's always down for a fight and that goes double for Connor.
Adams: Connor's been away for SCW for a few years though, he's got that ring rust to shake off.
Justin: And his opponent!
Warrior's Code by the Dropkick Murphys begins to play as Connor Murphy comes out on stage, one arm shaking with the beat over his head as the other pulls his cigarette from his lips while holding a red solo cup. Starting down towards the ring, he jokes and smirks at the fans.
Justin: Hailing from Ottawa Ontario Canada, Connor MURPHY!
Connor stops part way around the ring at the announcers table to take one final puff of his cigarette then looks for something to put it out in. With a smirk and a nod at Belinda, he motions putting out the cigarette in her drink only to wave it off and put his glass down on the table and drop the butt into it. Climbing into the ring, he wipes at his nose then smirks for the fans again.
Simone: Connor's always been an impressive athlete but no one expected him to return at High Stakes.
Adams: And he wasn't even the only unexpected return!
Dawn goes over the rules with both men and once they nod to confirm that they understand the rules she calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And tonight's opening contest is underway.
Adams: Both men are looking to get a win heading into the new year, and off course Inception VI!
Once the bell rings both Justin and Connor lock up in the middle of the ring, being the bigger of the two men Justin gains the upper hand by backing Connor up to the ropes before driving a couple of knees into Connor's midsection before whipping Connor across the ring and hitting a sloppy looking dropkick that connects to Connor's jaw, knocking the returning wrestler to the ground! Justin goes fo a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Connor gets the shoulder up.
Simone: Justin may not be the best wrestler on the roster but he is a tenacious one.
Adams: That's what makes him so dangerous in the ring, and also why he gets infrequent title shots.
Justin shakes his head and picks up Connor but the returning wrestler spins Justin around with a European Uppercut on his way up before following the up with a Side Russian Legsweep that knocks Justin down, Connor doesn't go for a pin though as he heads to the top rope and hits Justin with a Diving Elbow Drop! Connor goes for the pun and Dawn gets into position to count it.
ONE!
TWO!
And Justin gets the shoulder up at two!
Simone: Justin may have had the early advantage but that's long gone now!
Adams: And Connor's showing that he hasn't lost a step!
Connor picks up Justin and sets him up for a Falcon Arrow but Justin slips out the back before Connor can complete the move and grabs him by the waist from behind, Justin then charges Connor into the ropes and executes a roll up on the rebound.
ONE!
TWO!
And Connor kicks out with enough force to send Justin into the ropes, Justin rebounds as Connor is getting back to his feet and tries for a Clothesline only for Connor to try to counter it with his Aequitas finisher! Justin fights out of it with a few elbows to the side of Connor's head but Connor returns fire with a kick to the midsection before going for and this time successfully executing a Falcon Arrow.
Simone: Connor went for the submission win over Justin early there!
Adams: Maybe too early, Justin had it scouted but now Connor's hit him with a Falcon Arrow!
Connor goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Justin gets the shoulder up! Both men get to their feet slowly but Justin tries to make the first move again with a wild right hand but in turn Connor meets him with a flurry of punches after ducking the right hand and finishes that up with a Bionic Elbow which knocks Justin down! Justin rolls to the outside before Connor can try for another pin attempt though but Connor is hot on his heels.
Simone: I think we're starting to see the match unravel for Justin!
Adams: He can try but he can't seem to compete with Connor!
Connor turns Justin around once he's on the outside and keeps up the offence with several right hands but Justin ducks the last one and sends Connor back first into the ring apron! Justin does this two more times for good measure before rolling the returning wrestler back into the ring and following him in for another pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
And Connor kicks out! But Justin doesn't let up as he locks in a Single Leg Boston Crab submission hold on Connor.
Simone: You may have been right about Justin struggling to keep up with Connor from a technical standpoint but when it comes to down and dirty brawling and the basics? That's where Justin shines.
Adams: We'll see if that ends up being the key to Justin's win!
Dawn gets into position to check if Connor wants to submit but the Canadian wrestler refuses outright before he starts crawling his way to the ring ropes to try to break the hold, realizing this Justin drags Connor back to the centre of the ring before he can achieve the rope break and tries for a regular Boston Crab! This however gets Justin kicked away and caught in a roll up on the rebound.
ONE!
TWO!
And Justin kicks out! Justin's the first one to his feet and he calls for his finisher.
Simone: Justin just called for The Strike!
Adams: What a welcome back to SCW that would be for Connor, losing your first match back!
Justin goes for the Powerbomb but Connor fights his way out of it before he gets the Aequitas locked in on Justin!
Simone: So much for that! Connor has the Aequitas locked in!
Adams: Justin has nowhere to go, stick a fork in him, he's done!
Dawn gets into position but by that point Justin's already tapping and she calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner by submission, Connor Murphy!
Simone: Connor wins his first match back and he doesn't seem to have lost a step!
Adams: I'd be wary if I were the rest of the men's roster!
Connor celebrates his win while Dawn checks on Justin.
The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing accross the arena before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp, his wife Katie and former SCW Bombshell Adrienne Beaufort at his side.
Simone: We weren't expecting to see Caleb Storms again so soon after he returned at High Stakes.
Adams: His time in the men's rumble was short lived but he got to appear on High Stakes for the first time in years.
Caleb makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as he makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring and throwing up the metal horns, he takes a mic from a stage hand while Katie and Adrienne watch on from ringside.
Caleb: What a night it was at High Stakes huh?
The crowd cheers but unbeknownst to Caleb, Katie or Adrienne two hooded figures appear in the crowd, one clearly taller than the other.
Caleb: Sure, I didn't last as long as I would've liked in the Rumble but I still got to be a part of the biggest show of the year! As for when I'll wrestle again? Who kn…………
WHACK!
Simone: WAIT, WHAT THE HELL?!
Adams: The shorter of those two figures just laid out Katie with a brutal chair shot!
Katie is out cold with the shorter of the two figures standing over her! Adrienne gets over her momentary shock and rushes the figure but they duck the kick to the head and flatten her with a chair shot as well! Caleb is incensed by this but he doesn't notice the taller of the two figures behind him.
Simone: Where the hell is security?!
Adams: That's what I want to know!
Before Caleb can do anything the taller of the two figures drops him with a running low blow from behind! It's at this point they remove their hoods.
Simone: Wait, I've heard of that guy, he's Logan Hunter!
Adams: Didn't he just graduate from the Go Gym?!
Logan looks down at Caleb with content while the other figure, a beautiful red haired woman, grins sadistically at her handiwork, the woman makes a throat slit motion with her thumb and Logan yanks Caleb up by the hair and drops him with a Double Underhook Impaler DDT.
Logan: Give me that fucking microphone!
The stage hand nearest to the ring complies and Logan smirks as he stands over Caleb's prone form.
Logan: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the new age! My name is Logan Hunter, the latest name to graduate from the Go Gym, my girlfriend Brooke and I have watched this once proud division get dominated by the old guard for too long.
Brooke (the redhead) slides the chair to Logan and he fits it around Caleb's arm, the same arm that got injured and ended Caleb's original run.
Simone: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no! That's the arm that put Caleb out of action for a whole year!
Adams: Somebody stop this!
Logan acts like he's going to stomp down on the chair but smirks before removing the chair.
Logan: It would be so easy to put you out to pasture Caleb! Look at you, former Roulette Champion, first ever three time Internet Champion, wasn't there a time when your name meant something? Oh wait, you got gift wrapped the Internet Championship the first time because J2H took pity on you!
Logan shakes his head before Brooke joins him, the couple stand tall in the ring before Brooke takes the mic.
Brooke: Say hello to the future of the men's division folks and say goodbye to the past.
Logan and Brooke notice Caleb pulling himself up while Katie and Adrienne start to come too on the outside, Brooke motions to Caleb before she straightens out the chair and Logan grabs Caleb by the head.
Simone: Oh no! Not that move on the chair!
Adams: I don't even know what it's called but it looks brutal!
Logan: And Caleb? Welcome to Hope's End!
Logan then drops Caleb with the Double Underhook Impaler DDT onto the chair, busting him open! Satisfied with their work Logan and Brooke leave while Katie, Adrienne and medics tend to Caleb.
Simone: It appears we have a new force in Sin City!
Adams: And considering how well liked Caleb is? I bet Logan just made a few enemies already.
The camera once again opens up outside of the locker room where Bobbie Dahl is changing. Pussy Willow has stayed around waiting to see this spectacle and then get a few words with Bobbie before her match. Artie is swaying back and forth impatiently and Pussy Willow knocks on the door.
Pussy: Almost done, Bobbie? How long could dressing up like a—
The door swings open before Pussy can finish her sentence and they turn and stare at Bobbie. Bobbie has a huge smile on her face as she has decked herself out in the baby costume. A large baby diaper, a makeshift onesie with baby booties and a bonnet. She's even blushed her cheeks lightly for the rosey cheek effect and she has a large pacifier hanging around her neck and holding a large baby bottle.
Pussy: Oh my…This is definitely a first in SCW.
Pussy Willow laughs, and Artie is not sure how to react. Bobbie smiles at him.
Bobbie: Go ahead and laugh, sweetie. I know I look ridiculous.
Artie finally laughs, relieved he's allowed to. As ridiculous as this is, Bobbie is a good sport and plays it up.
Bobbie: See, if I had beat Harper, we all know she would be throwing a fit right about now. She'd be the true definition of a screaming child, but me? I'm going to be a well behaved baby Bobbie.
Artie snorts out a laugh again, as does Pussy Willow.
Pussy: This should be quite interesting seeing you wrestle in that get up, Bobbie.
Bobbie: Oh I'm gonna have fun with this! I'll be the first wrestling baby!! I just hope Song doesn't try to pull the diaper down…
Bobbie bites her bottom lip innocently as Artie and Pussy Willow share a slightly mortified look.
Artie: Bobbie…Please tell me you're wearing something under that big diaper…
A huge grin appears on Bobbie's face and she quickly places the large pacifier in her mouth before disappearing back inside. Artie growls in frustration as he follows her inside.
Pussy: Well…this could get VERY interesting…
Pussy Willow shakes her head before turning and walking away.
We go backstage, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. The camera follows Song as she moves through the corridors, her expression focused and determined. Master Lilly walks beside her, a calming presence in the midst of the pre-match chaos. Song takes a refreshing sip from a can of Coke Zero before handing it to a crew member.
Song glancing at Master Lilly
Song: This is it, Master. Tonight, all our training and preparation come to fruition. Hopefully I can get back to my winning ways.
Master Lilly nodding with a serene smile
Master Lilly: Remember, Song, this match is not just about victory. It is about demonstrating the strength of your spirit and the discipline you have cultivated. Trust in your training, and trust in yourself.
Song: But my focus is to win above all you know!
Crowd: You know!
The two walk to a quiet corner backstage where Song and Master Lilly find a moment of peace. The camera captures the Coke Zero can prominently placed on a table beside them, integrating the sponsorship subtly into the scene.
Master Lilly: Stay centered Song, don't lose focus and you should be fine.
Song with determination
Song: I will, Master. I've been working extra hard. Like you said, I need to get back into my old ways.
The camera pans out to see Mz Holly Wood enter the scene.
Holly Wood: Ladies, well, Song, you ready to prove yourself?
Song: Like I need to prove myself to you! You better go find someone else to interview. Go find Bobbie, I'm sure you can give her pointers on how to rock a baby onesie.
Holly Wood: Just think, if you lose to Bobbie in a baby onesie, you were the first one tossed over the top rope Royal Rumble, and the time before that, you found yourself thrown into a coffin. Losing to Bobbie now, would make this short return you had in SCW the worst year ever. You need this more than she does.
Song: God damn Holly Wood. I was just messing with you and stuff, you got to get all personal. Not cool. I need this like Bobbie does but when you put it that way, I guess I really need to go out there and turn it up a notch.
Holly Wood: That's all I've been asking from you girl. Go out there and kick some ass.
Song: Thanks, I will try my best to smack the diaper off of her for you, you know!
Crowd: You know!
The promo concludes with a close-up of the Coke Zero can.
Master Lilly: Fueled by determination, powered by discipline. Song, sponsored by Coke Zero.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall… introducing first… hailing from Foshan, China. Song…
Song's theme starts to play we see Song walking down the ramp. She gets half way down and pauses. Song bows and then proceeds to walk to ringside. Song jumps and lands on the apron. Song puts her hands on the ropes and flip over to get inside the ring. The fans Boo with a few cheers and we see Song bowing to the fans.
Justin: and her opponent… hailing from Cool City, Illionois… Bobbie Dahl.
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.
After the music plays for some time, Bobbie Dahl relunctantly comes through the curtains, where we see that she is true to her words and wears a oversized sumo type one-size that is skin colored with a bit white diaper. She wears a bonnet on her head, a bib that says cry baby and a big dummy around her neck. The Bombshell Roulette title draped over her shoulder. She is joined by Artie at her side as they both look less than impressed.
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.
DING DING DING!
Song stays in the corner and shakes her head at what Dahl looks like, Dahl rushes in to try and catch Song off guard, but Song dodges and turns and fires in a chop to the chest, before following up some forearm shots to Dahl's chest before Dahl shoves Song backwards, who rolls backwards and back to her feet and Dahl steps forward holding her chest, but it's only brief as Song is back to her feet and rushes back in and fires in some chops and forearm shots to Dahl's chest and again Dahl pushes Song backwards and again Song rolls backwards and gets back to her feet and Dahl moves in and goes for a wild swing, which Song ducks and bounces of the ropes and as she comes back she hits a dropkick and Dahl stumbles backwards and up against the ropes.
Simone: Stop laughing. You are supposed to be a serious commentator.
Adams: I… (laughing)… can't help… it.
Simone: Whilst my colleague composes himself, I think Song is the only person with a straight face going into the match while Dahl is more probably angry. As Dahl tries to catch Song off guard early on but Song dodges and she fires in chops to the chest and then forearm shots. Dahl shoves her away but Song isn't going to give up easily and comes back in fires in some more chops and forearm chops. Again Dahl pushes her away… You want to chime in?
Adams: (laughs)
Simeone: Sorry folks. Song hits a dropkick and Dahl stumbles to the ropes.Song gets back to her feet and moves to Dahl, where she grabs Dahl's hand and tries for an Irish whip, which Dahl blocks it and holds onto the ropes as well. Dahl then counters and sends Song into the ropes and as Song comes back, Dahl body checks Song and sends her down to the mat. Song reels from the body check and she gets onto her hands and knees and begins to crawl away before making her way to her feet and into the nearest corner. Dahl takes a moment before moving in, but Song gets her feet up and Dahl catches them in her face, and she stumbles away and checks her face for blood before turning back and rushes in and Song lifts herself up and wraps her legs around Dahl's head and then hits a hurricanrana and sends Dahl down to the mat for a brief moment.
Adams: (coughs and clears throat) Song gets back to her feet and moves to Dahl, where she tries for an Irish Whip, but Dahl blocks it and she sends Song into the ropes and as Song comes back, Dahl body checks her and sends Song down to the mat.
Simone: Welcome back. Song moves to the corner, as Dahl moves in but Song gets her feet up and catches Dahl. Dahl checks her face before turning in anger but grabs her and then hits a hurricanrana and sends Dahl down to the mat…. Briefly.
Dahl is back to her feet but stumbles into a corner and Song then rushes in and goes to leap up for a splash, but Dahl grabs her and then slams her down to the mat as the large fake dummy is quickly ripped away and thrown away in anger, as Song reels from that and rolls away, as Dhal then looks for a senton bomb, but Song moves out of the way and Dahl crashes down onto the mat and Song rolls from herself from the ring for a moment holding her back, she then turns and climbs back onto the apron and goes to climb back into the ring, as she spots Dahl still reeling from the failed senton climbing out onto the apron herself. Song moves around the apron as she looks to take it to Dahl and as she approaches, Dahl gives Song a hard push and Song has to jump leap off to avoid any potential injury, but Dahl then charges forward and hits a running senton onto Song and sends Song down to the floor and Dahl gets back to her feet and adjust her baby attire.
Adams: Indeed briefly. As Dahl is back to her feet and Song rushes in but Dahl catches her and slams her to the mat. As the big dummy is ripped away and quickly ejected from the ring. Song reels from the slam, as she Dahl looks for a senton bomb but Song dodges and Dahl hits nothing but mat.
Simone: Song rolls from herself from the ring to recover the best as possible as does Dahl.
Adams: Song climbs back onto the apron, where she quickly spots Dahl also on the apron and moves around to meet her. Dahl gives her a shove backwards, which Song jumps backwards and off for safety but doesn't work out, as Dahl leaps off the apron with another senton onto Song and wipes song out.
Song lays on the floor, as Dahl turns back around and grabs Song and pulls her up, where she rolls her back into the ring, where she follows close behind and then goes for a pin…
ONE!
TWO!

Dahl shakes her head, as she turns and makes her way to her feet, as Song slowly sits up and Dahl looks down at Song before turning and bounces off the ropes, as she looks for a crossbody, but Song rolls out of the way and Dahl hits the mat. Dahl sits up on her knees holding her chest, as Song quickly gets to her feet and turns to Dahl, where she rapidly fires in superfast combo kicks to Dahl's chest before stopping and then hits a roundhouse kick to Dahl head and Dahl falls toward. Song quickly pounces and pushes Dahl onto her back and then goes for a pin.

KICKOUT!
Dahl gets a shoulder up and she pushes Song away, but Song isn't going to give up and she quickly crawls to Dahl, who sits up and Song grabs Dahl around the neck and head and locks in a rear naked choke before wrapping her legs around Dahl's waist the best she can and squeezes. Dahl grabs Song's arms as she seeks for a way out of the choke hold. The ref moves in and keeps checking on Dahl, but she hasn't faded as yet as Song asks the ref to check, who checks anyway and tries to take Dahl's hand but Dahl yanks it away and she begins to shift herself and slowly gets to a knee, as Song tries to keep her grip as she follows Dahl. Dahl then makes it back to her feet with Song still attached with her rear naked choke and Dahl runs backwards and squashes Song between her and a corner.
Simone: Dahl kicks out, as she momentarily adjusts her baby – sumo wrestler – suit, as Song pounces on Dahl and locks in a rear naked choke hold.
Adams: Song is trying her best to keep Dahl down and not using her power, as Dahl tries to look for a way out, as the ref check Dahl a few times, but she isn't fading. Dahl instead begins to battle back, where she gets to her feet. Song clings on and Dahl rushes backward and squashes Song between her and the ring.
Simone: But she doesn't release, but she releases the second time that Dahl does it.
Song doesn't release until Dahl steps forward and throws herself backwards again and Song releases and holds onto the ropes and Dahl turns and rushes forward, but Song dodges and Dahl crashes into the corner and she stumbles backwards, and Song follows up with a springboard roundhouse kick, Dahl drops to a knee and Song climbs back to her feet and follows up with a shining wizard and then into a cover…

Song hops in place, as Dahl slowly makes her way to feet and Song tries for an enziguri, but Dahl lets go and Song lands on her face.
Simone: Song shakes her head at Dahl refusing to give up and she move back to Dahl and goes to kick her but Dahl catches Song's foot. Song tries for an enziguri, but she ends up on her face.
Song reels from that, as Dahl drops to a knee and checks her face and shakes off the cobwebs. Song slowly moves back to her feet and moves towards Dahl and grabs her and pulls her up, but Dahl fires in a headbutt on Song and Song releases and stumbles back, but Dahl grabs Song's hand and hits a short arm clothesline. Song reels once more and Dahl steps forward and hits a body splash onto Song.

Dahl climbs back to her feet, as she checks her face once more, before adjusting the baby suit and bonnet, she then moves back to Song, where she stomps on her a few times before grabbing Song by the hair and proceeds to toss her across the ring. Dahl smirks, as she moves to Song once more and pulls her up to her feet and then hits a Belly to Boobie Suplex(belly to belly). Dahl makes her way to feet, as Song rolls away towards the corner, but Dahl follows and she grabs Song by the hair and pulls her up, where she drives Song's face into the top turnbuckle a few times.
Simone: Song is in trouble here, as Dahl begins to punish Song and hits a belly to belly suplex. But she isn't done and drives Song's face into the top turnbuckle a few times.
Dahl stops and backs off as Song leans against the ropes and Dahl rushes in with a body avalanche and Song slowly sinks to the mat, as Dahl grabs her foot and drags her away from the corner before climbing the ropes and then hits the Boobie Bomb (Big Splash off the second rope to an opponent down in the corner).

She then goes for a cover…

DING DING DING!

Walking backstage with one hand rubbing at the back of his neck, Connor Murphy can't help but mutter under his breath as he is approached by Pussy Willow who smiles with a bit of a cocky look at Murphy who smiles and straightens up himself.
Pussy Willow: Well look at you Connor Murphy, long time no see. You've changed…
Connor nods slowly as he thinks of how to respond.
Connor Murphy: From where I am from, change is as good as a rest. But you are still the same beauty I remember. And yeah, its been a long time and I missed this…
Connor waves his arm to take in the full backstage area and then with a grin, rubs at his neck as he nods towards the curtain and the ring area.
Connor Murphy: However, I don't remember the beatings like that. Guess I must be getting old or just can't take it anymore.
Pussy Willow: But Connor, tonight you beat Justin Smith in the middle of the ring? On your first match back in like what…four years?
Connor Murphy: Four years…yeah and still underestimating my opponents some would say. Listen, I heard that Justin wasn't going to be that much of a challenge and I will freely admit that I took him lightly this week.
Pussy Willow: You shouldn't do that. Even people like Justin Smith can win matches you know. But still, a win is a win so what is next for you?
Connor thinks a minute, a hand running down his chest slowly wiping at the sweat pooling there.
Connor Murphy: More training…getting better…kicking ass and taking some names appears to be in my future. I mean yeah, I'm back and from the looks of it, I can still hang. But I am not here to hang, I am here to win and keep winning. See, there are titles to be won and people to introduce myself to. Young'uns that think they are all that and a big ole bag of chips. Those people need to realize that they could end up on the short end of a fight whren facing me.
Pussy Willow: Those could be considered fighting words Connor, and we have some real strong attitudes here in Sin City Wrestling.
Connor laughs and then slowly rubs his hands together.
Connor Murphy: All the more reason to get under their skin so to speak. I still haven't heard about how Tink is doing and you would think that Jimmy boy would have commented about me by now. Oh well, guess I am just going to have to remind him of the person that got to him. It was a gas no doubt but I have to bring back my A game if I am looking at doing it again. Baby steps for now Pussy m'love.
Pussy Willow: Good luck with that Connor but you haven't answered my question. So what is next for you?
Lightly draping an arm over the shoulders of Pussy, Connor uses his free hand to tap her lightly on the nose.
Connor Murphy: A shower Pussy…care to joi…
Pussy Willow: I am working Connor! My god, I was right, and wrong. You have changed and haven't changed at all.
Connor Murphy: The offer stands Pussy but I need to get under some hot water and work out the kinks from my match from earlier.
Connor ruffles his hand through the hair of the reporter before heading off down the hall toward the locker room whistling with a slight groan every so often. Pussy watches him go and then turns to walk away while shaking her head.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Aussie Bombshell Cassie Wolfe leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
Cassie: Let's get one thing put of the way folks, yeah, I eliminated Harper from the High Stakes Rumble, I knew she was going to enter before her first vlogs went up because she had the decency to let me and Josh know first.
Cassie shakes her head.
Cassie: But she forgot to over one thing throughout that entire two week period: she forgot to ensure that neither of us would eliminate each other if given the chance until we were in the final two, I don't know if you've noticed but neither Harp or I are in contention for a title shot at the Christmas Special, pending the whims of the bosses off course, so if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about how the Rumble ended for Young Justice? I don't know what else to tell ya!
Cassie added with a shrug.
Cassie: Besides, we both knew that match was going to be every woman for themselves once the bell rung! Do I wish I had won the thing instead of Aleesha Come Lately? Yeah, but who, out of those who entered the Rumble, doesn't? But this tag team match against Chrystal and Mackenzie is just what we need to work out our differences and if we get the win along the way? All the better.
Cassie flashes the devil horns to the camera.
Cassie: To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and friends forgetting the fundamental rules of a rumble match? Be yourselves and be a rebel princess, and too Mackenzie and Chrystal? Be ready because I'm Hungry like the Wolfe!
Cassie walks off as the scene fades!
We cut to the backstage area following Caleb Storms' attack at the hands of the newcomer Logan Hunter, we are in the parking lot where Katie and Adrienne watch on as Caleb is loaded into an ambulance.
Adrienne: I'll get the car, we'll follow the ambulance.
Katie: Why did he do that to Caleb?!
Logan: Why not?
The crowd boos as Logan steps into view, hands in his pockets and now dressed in more casual attire, Brooke is at his side, watching the action with a smirk on her face.
Logan: Sometimes you need to weed out the weak, huh Caleb?
Katie: Leave him alone! Haven't you done enough damage tonight?
Brooke: Oh puh-lease bitch! We're only just getting started!
Logan: Pity the same can't be said for the "Metal Storm".
Brooke scoffs.
Brooke: Storm? More like a gentle breeze, am i right?!
At this point officials arrive on scene to reprimand the two newcomers and Logan rolls his eyes.
Logan: What? We were just making an impact on our debut.
Brooke: If anything Caleb's head made a bigger impact on that chair!
The officials are yelling at Logan to get back as he suddenly gets ripped away from the group and turns to see LJ Kasey standing there.
LJ Kasey: What the fuck, mate? What's your problem?
Logan smirks as he sizes up the Brit, LJ is the taller of the two men but about ten pounds lighter and Logan's girlfriend Brooke moves off to the side, studying the situation with her arms crossed.
Logan: My problem? My problem is the stars of yesteryear hogging the spotlight around here!
Logan shoves LJ, much to Brooke's approval.
Logan: And if you were smart Lyle? You'd be joining me in my quest!
Brooke: Like we need the lesser of the Kaseys on our side anyway!
LJ smirks as he shoves his hair out of his face and just looks at Brooke for a moment.
LJ Kasey: Oh, like that's a selling point for ya. But since you all wanna go there...
LJ turns and shoves Logan back.
LJ Kasey: Damage has been done. But if you are lookin' for a row, why not do it to someone who's back isn't turned?
Logan scoffs as he turns around, seemingly ready to walk off, but as soon as LJ lets his guard down Logan spins around with a punch! LJ ducks it and the two men start brawling but before security can intervene Brooke clips LJ's knee from behind, driving him down.
Logan: Watch closely next week LJ because I will be making my in ring debut, against who? I don't care, but until then? Enjoy your match against Ryans!
Logan spits in LJ's face before he and Brooke leave.
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: From Jet City!!!! KRISTOPHER RYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYANS!
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 pulling on the strap of his championship to triumphantly raise it up to the cheering crowd.
Justin: From Middleton, UK, LJ KASEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
The arena plunges into darkness, leaving only the pulsating glow of neon lights that flicker in sync with the opening notes of "Kingslayer" by Bring Me The Horizon (feat. BABYMETAL). A single spotlight pierces the shadows, illuminating the stage as smoke billows out like an ominous tide.
L.J. Kasey emerges, his long black-and-gold jacket flaring out like wings as the hood obscures his face. The camera zooms in, capturing a glint of determination in his shadowed eyes. The crowd roars in recognition of the young, daring British sensation. He pauses at the top of the ramp, slowly pulling back his hood to reveal a smirk that borders on defiance.
The song's tempo shifts, and Kasey matches its energy, striding down the ramp with an unshakable confidence. He slaps a few outstretched hands from fans but never breaks his piercing stare aimed directly at Kris Ryans, who stands waiting in the ring.
Kasey reaches the base of the ramp, unbuckling his jacket with one fluid motion. He tosses it to the side, revealing his gear: a sleek, gold-accented ensemble that gleams under the lights. He takes a step back and then sprints forward, launching himself onto the apron with a flawless leap.
He grabs the top rope, his eyes never leaving Kris Ryans, and in one smooth motion, slingshots himself into the ring. Landing in a crouch, Kasey slowly rises to his feet, spreading his arms wide to soak in the electric energy of the crowd.
Simone: And here we go! LJ Kasey versus Kris Ryans—two competitors with contrasting styles. This one has the makings of an instant classic.
Adams: Kasey's hard-hitting precision against Ryans' high-flying unpredictability? Sign me up! And with Drew Patton as the referee, we're in for a fair but action-packed contest.
DING DING DING!
Kasey and Ryans circle each other in the ring, the crowd bu
ing with anticipation. They lock up in the center, and Kasey quickly asserts his power advantage, shoving Ryans into the corner. Drew Patton steps in to demand a clean break. Kasey raises his hands—but delivers a sudden roundhouse kick to Ryans' ribs as he backs off.Simone: Kasey showing no interest in playing fair here! That kick was as calculated as it was brutal.
Ryans grimaces but recovers quickly, retaliating with rapid-fire punches that push Kasey into the ropes. Ryans whips him across the ring and leaps for a running wheel kick, but Kasey ducks under, rebounds, and flattens Ryans with a devastating lariat, flipping him inside out.
Adams: What a lariat! Kasey just knocked Ryans halfway across the ring!
Kasey wastes no time pulling Ryans to his feet and hooks him for a brainbuster, slamming him hard into the mat. He covers for an early pin.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Kasey shakes his head, slightly favoring his right knee as he rises. Dragging Ryans up again, he sets him up for another big move, but Ryans fights back with a quick spinning back kick to Kasey's midsection. Seizing the opportunity, Ryans runs to the ropes and springboards off, nailing a precise tornado DDT!
Simone: What a counter by Ryans! That tornado DDT could've taken Kasey out of this match entirely.
Kasey rolls to the outside to regroup, but Ryans stays on the offensive. He runs to the ropes and launches himself over with a spectacular crossbody, landing on Kasey at ringside. The crowd erupts as both men crash to the floor.
Adams: Ryans is soaring tonight! He's keeping the pressure on Kasey and has the crowd fired up!
Drew Patton begins the count. Ryans rises first, rolling Kasey back into the ring at seven. He climbs to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Kasey to stand. As Kasey rises, Ryans leaps for a diving hurricanrana, but Kasey counters, catching him mid-air and driving him down with a brutal reverse-spin Michinoku driver!
Simone: What a counter! Kasey just turned Ryans' offense against him in spectacular fashion.
Kasey covers.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Frustration flashes across Kasey's face, but he remains focused. His movements, however, grow slower as his right knee visibly hinders him. He pulls Ryans to his feet, looking to set up a Spanish Fly, but as Kasey leaps, his knee buckles, and Ryans shoves him off. Kasey lands hard, clutching his knee in pain.
Simone: That knee might cost Kasey the match! He's been favoring it all match so far, considering that brutal attack before his match, and now it's giving out at the worst possible time.
Ryans charges in with a stiff European uppercut, sending Kasey into the corner. He follows up with a crushing diving front dropkick, and Kasey crumples to the mat. Ryans climbs to the top rope and hits the SmackShot (diving somersault leg drop), driving his braced knee across Kasey's throat.
Ryans hooks the leg for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Suddenly, Alexandra appears at the top of the ramp, sprinting down the ramp. She slams her hands on the apron, shouting encouragement to Kasey. She clearly heard about the attack on her boyfriend and wants him to know he's not going into this alone.
Simone: Look who it is! Alexandra's here, and she's trying to rally LJ back into this match!
Adams: And listen to this crowd! Alexandra's fired them up, and they're solidly behind Kasey now!
Simone: LJ's Girlfriend is out here rallying the crowd behind her man.
LJ Kasey stirs, feeding off the energy of Alexandra and the crowd as she shouts.
Alexandra: Get up, LJ!
Ryans, distracted by her presence, pulls Kasey to his feet for Miracle's End (cross-leg sitout scoopslam piledriver). But Kasey fights out of it, slipping free and nailing a roundhouse kick to the back of Ryans' head!
Both men collapse to the mat, and Alexandra slaps the apron harder, urging the crowd to clap and chant for Kasey. He slowly crawls to his feet, his right knee visibly trembling under the strain. Ryans also rises, and the two meet in the center for a slugfest.
Ryans gains the upper hand, spinning around for a jawbreaker that stuns Kasey. Sensing victory, Ryans sets up for Miracle's End again. But Kasey counters at the last second, spinning Ryans into position and driving him down with the Kingslayer (spinning hammerlock tombstone piledriver)!
The crowd erupts as Kasey collapses for the cover. Drew Patton counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner… LJ Kasey!
The crowd roars as Alexandra immediately slides into the ring. She kneels beside Kasey, who clutches his right knee in pain but manages a triumphant grin. Alexandra helps him to his feet, draping his arm over her shoulders to support him as Drew Patton raises his other hand.
Simone: What a match! LJ Kasey fought through adversity, including that injured knee, to pick up the win—and Alexandra was there to rally him when he needed it most.
Adams: She didn't just cheer him on—she got the crowd on his side and helped Kasey dig deep to pull off this victory. What a moment
Alexandra holds LJ's face in her hands, sharing his triumph as the crowd gives them a standing ovation. Together, they soak in the applause, a picture of determination and teamwork as Ryans slowly makes his way out of the ring, earning respect from the fans for his incredible performance.
Simone: Tonight, LJ Kasey proved why he's one of the toughest competitors in the business. And Alexandra showed the power of having someone in your corner who believes in you.
Adams: Kris Ryans gave it everything he had, but LJ Kasey's heart and determination, with a little help from his girlfriend Alexandra, won the day. What a night!
The cameras found themselves in the backstage area. Only to find a very unusual acting - more unusual than normal - Guy hanging out around a specific door. Every so often peeking around the corner almost as if he was looking out for something or rather someone. Quickly coming back around the corner so he couldn't be seen.
Guy: Where the frick is he?!
He looked visibly confused. All of the sudden a hand could be seen coming up from behind him and tapping him on the shoulder. Guy nearly jumped out of his skin.
Guy: Holy Poop!
He spun himself around and found himself coming face to face with Scott Oliver. He too shared a surprise expression.
Scott Oliver: I thought we were using our inside voices?!
Guy: We are, but don't sneak up on Guy like that. Holy heck man!
Scott Oliver: I've been in stealth mode all day for you! What did you expect?!
Guy: Guy expects you to get what he needs. Did you make that happen?!
Following those words being aimed in his direction. Scott proceeded to lift up his hand to reveal a set of keys dangling in them. Guy's facial features lit up right away.
Guy: Huzzah!
Scott Oliver: It wasn't an easy task. Do you know how much I had to sneak around Christian all day long? Just to even find a moment where I was even close enough to try and grab them? It was heart attack inducing all day.
Guy: Put your big boy pants on. Or go have some crackers and wine.
Scott Oliver: What does that even mean?!
Guy: Give those to Guy!
He reached for the keys and snatched them right out of the man's hands. Quickly, he found himself fumbling through them. Trying to find the one for the door that was just in front of him locked up tight. With just a few tries he managed to get the door unlocked. Pushing it open to reveal the office of one Christian Underwood.
Guy: Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!
He rubbed his hands together for a brief moment like some kind of evil plan was all in the works. Finding himself turning right back to Scott.
Guy: Keep an eye out.
Scott Oliver: Uh look... I am not trying to be a debbie downer but...
Guy: Silence! You will keep an eye out for Guy! It will take but a few seconds to do what he needs to do!
Not even giving Scott a chance to say anything more. Guy found himself taking a step inside that office of Christian and found himself searching around the desk, Looking for something specific. Moving things out of the way. Shuffling papers around. He just happened to move a book out of the way and his eyes lit up. He snatched what appeared to be a contract right off the table.
Guy: Yiiiiis! Yiiiiis! Guy has found you!
His black painted lips were curled into a little bit of a smirk, As he put the contract right back down on the table and reached up grabbing a pen from the holder on the desk. Clicking the end of the pen to push it out as he started to jot his name down on the dotted line.
Guy: No wardrobe malfunction standing in the way now. Eddie wants to screw Guy and take what should be his title match. Guy wll teach him a lesson!
Finishing putting ink to paper. Guy tossed the pen back down in its holder and picked the contract back up. Taking a look at it for a second.
Christian: Sorry for spoiling your fun lads but we already have a scheduled cleaning crew.
Guy: Uh....
Right away he shot a look right at Scott who was standing there with Christian. Offering a kind of defeated look. Guy's expression just narrowed.
Guy: What the frick man?! You had one job. One job to do for Guy!
Scott Oliver: It's his office! What did you want me to do?!
Guy: Useless!
Clearly, Guy was a little on the frustrated side. However as far as he was concerned the damage had been done. Which is why he held the contract up so boldly and pointed to it.
Guy: Huzzah! No matter at all. Guy has signed his name right there. This is his championship match now. It was his to begin with, but it was stolen. Now it has been stolen back. That is how the world works when you are a shady person like Eddie! What do you think about that Holy Christian man? Hmmm?!
Christian: I THINK you need to pay closer attention to what you're signing there, Guy. Mark and I were in the process of hiring a new referee and …
He points to the contract Guy was holding with such smug appreciation.
Christian: It looks like we have our new hire! I'll go let Jasmine know!
Following Christian's exit. Guy found himself just standing there. A little bit of shock riddled through his expression. His plan - a half baked idea to begin with - but it had failed. Back fired in a major way. Scott finds himself taking a couple of steps over to Guy. shaking his head a little bit.
Scott Oliver: Not the way you envisioned that going huh?
The silence was still filling the room on Guy's end. He found himself doubling up his fists amd then raising them high into the air.
Guy: Cinnamon Biscuits!
One could only assume that was his way of cursing. Scott standing there shaking his head a little more. From there the cameras started to zoom out away from the two very slowly. Only to find themselves cutting back down to the ringside area for the next scheduled contest of the night.
We cut to the backstage area where Harper is seen with Young Justice's manager Joshua Acquin, the young Bombshell clearly has a lot on her mind.
Harper: Could I have been better prepared for the Rumble at High Stakes? Definitely but those things are hard enough to prepare for when you don't have your friend taking part in the same match, never mind the fact that Cassie was one of the first confirmed participants.
Harper shakes her head.
Harper: I guess that's what I get for thinking the fact that we wee both trained by the legends in Team Hero would make Cassie think twice about eliminating me but I guess Keira had a point, she and Roxi did wrestle each other multiple times when they were activate and who knows how long it'll be before Christian or Mark pull the proverbial trigger and book us against each other? Either way, he gets paid.
Joshua: And I'll train you both extensively for that match if that happens.
Harper: Like we'd expect any different! But before then? Me and Cass have this tag team match against the Hall of Famer Chrystal Zdunich and the multiple time Tag Team Champion Mackenzie Paige tonight! I was the one who got the ball rolling for this match when I made that tweet the day after High Stakes and while I did bounce back from the Rumble with that win over Bobbie? Beating those two is going to be a lot tougher!
Harper grins a bit.
Harper: But it's like I said, me and Cass have teamed before, they haven't! And that's all that'll matter once the bell rings because the world needs new heroes and "The Slaytanic Avenger" Harper Mason will be one of them!
Harper and Josh walk off as the scene fades.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a Bomb shell tag team match, scheduled for one fall!
The intro to Jonathon Young's cover of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes theme hits the speakers and Cassie and Harper emerge from the back ready for action and accompanied by their manager Joshua Acquin! The two Hero Academy Graduates pose back to back with their arms crossed at the top of the ramp before pointing to the ring with a gun like motion as they wait for their introduction.
Justin: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 233ibs, and being accompanied by Joshua Acquin, Cassie Wolfe and Harper Mason, YOUNG JUSTICE!
Once they are announced the two metalheads throw up the devil horns and share a fist bump before they run down to the ring, Cassie leaps into the ring between the middle and bottom rope before rolling to her knees whilst Harper slides into the ring! They two youngsters share another fist bump before posing for the fans.
Adams: They look confident, don't they?
Simone: A far cry from where they stood in the High Stakes Rumble two weeks ago.
Adams: Let's hope it lasts!
Justin: And their opponents...!
The lights in the arena dim slightly as the Trooper by Iron Maiden begins to blast all across the speakers. The drumbeat kicks in as every eye in the area looks towards the entrance ramp. Images of Las Vegas flashes on the main screen, along with the members of the GRC. The fans cheer as Crystal Zdunich emerges from the back but suddenly they change into boos when Daniel J Morgan and Mackenzie Page walk on to the ramp.
Justin: Accompanied to the ring by Daniel Morgan! Crystal Zdunich and Mackenzie Page ... the Golden Ring Casino!!!!
The three stand calmly, Daniel looks around the crowd as Mackenzie stands focused, while Crystal is a ball of energy as she sprints down to the ring clapping the outstretched hands of the fans that are cheering her on. Daniel looks back with a tilt of the head, nodding towards the ring. He and Mackenzie slowly start to walk down the ramp, mostly ignoring the fans as they move along. Crystal quickly jumps onto the apron and blows kisses to the crowd before jumping up and dropping into a split to enter the ring which draws a pop from the crowd. Daniel gets to the ring first, a picture of calmness on his face as he looks up at the ring and starts to walk up the steps. He lifts his nearest legs to the ropes and steps in the ring, ducking his body and moving in to the ring. He puts his arms out to the fans as Mackenzie joins them in the ring.
Adams: It has been SO LONG since we've seen London Underground inside of the ring!
Simone: Two plus years to be precise, and if you so happen to be those two young rookies standing across the ring from them? Perhaps not long enough.
Jacob Summers instructs both teams to decide who is starting. Daniel Morgan steps through the ropes and drops to the ringside floor as Crystal is elected to begin the match for the GRC. Harper and Cassie seem to be in a disagreement across the ring as Crystal turns around and Harper and Cassie immediately dart across the ring and lay her out with a double dropkick!
Simone: I think Young Justice was just waiting and played the other team!
Jacob quickly calls for the opening bell!
DING DING DING!
Young Justice is right on the offensive as both Harper and Cassie drag the Hall of Famer Crystal to her feet and they send her hurdling into the ropes where Cassie throws her over with a Japanese arm drag and the moment Crystal lands, Harper comes off of the ropes and lands with a senton across Zdunich's sternum! Crystal rolls over to rise to her hands and knees and Harper cups her hands and Cassie is given a boost where she lands across Crystal's back in a body splash, flattening her hard against the mat!
Adams: Young Justice is all over Crystal!
Simone: For the moment! They may have the advantage in experience as a team but they do NOT have the edge overall against either Crystal or Mackenzie!
Harper opts to remain inside of the ring as Jacob finally gets Cassie out of the ring! Harper drags Crystal to her feet and sends her hard into the corner where she comes charging in and Crystal quickly counters with a back body drop that sends her younger opponent up and over -- but Harper lands safely on the ring apron. Crystal turns and swings, aiming for a forearm shot but Harper blocks it and catches her with a Hot Shot, grabbing her by the head and dropping her throat across the top rope! Crystal is stunned and staggers back, clutching her throat and Harper grabs the top rope and launches herself back in and wiping Crystal out with a flying spin kick! Harper quickly with the cover!
ONE!
Crystal kicks out fast!
Simone: One of the hallmarks of what made Crystal Zdunich so great! She is damn near impossible to keep on her back!
Adams: Hahahaha!
Simone: grow up, Jason!
Harper tags Cassie and Cassie and she each grab one of Crystal's boots and fall back, making a wish in a painful split! They then jump up and Harper takes her leave as Cassie comes off the ropes with a barrel roll senton right on top of Crystal. Cassie drags Crystal upright and she goes for an Irish whip into the ropes but Crystal holds on and reverses it! Cassie jumps onto the middle rope and springboards back with a moonsault, taking Crystal down into another cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Crystal kicks out again!
Crystal fights her way to her feet and Cassie grabs her into a front face lock and she uses the ring ropes to launch herself around for a Tornado DDT -- only to have Crystal block it and she transitions around into a Northern Lights suplex and bridge!
ONE!
TWO!
Harper wastes no time in breaking it up!
Simone: Cassie Wolfe was in no danger of being pinned there, that quickly.
Adams: But Harper wasn't taking any chances!
Mackenzie tries to intervene but this distracts Jacob while Cassie tags out again to Harper! Crystal makes for her corner to tag out herself and Harper tries to block it, but Crystal jumps and strikes hard and fast with an Enzugari! Crystal then gets the tag to Mackenzie!
Adams: Uhhh Ohhhh!
Harper is on her feet before Mackenzie can enter the ring! Harper reaches over the ropes and tries to forcibly drag the volatile Brit inside but Mackenzie suddenly begins to unload a series of left and right boxing jabs to Harper's face and body, driving her back! Mackenzie then whips around and delivers a spinning back fist that sends Harper staggering and collapsing to one knee! Mackenzie races into the ropes but Harper is back up and she attempts a roundhouse kick but Mackenzie ducks under, comes off the far side and wipes Harper out with a rolling lariat!
Simone: So far I have not seen a single ounce of ring rust on the part of Mackenzie Page!
Harper staggers to her feet and Mackenzie has her from behind and she brings her up and over with a release German suplex!
Adams: Young Justice should have worked harder to keep Mackenzie out of the ring!
Simone: Luckily Harper was able to tag Cassie back inside!
Mackenzie and Cassie Wolfe circle one another as their partners and managers cal, out to them in support. They are about to lunge forward for the lock up when Mackenzie lashes out with a knee strike that doubles Cassie over. Mackenzie grabs her by two handfuls of hair and she brings one knee after another up into her exposed face and upper body in a series of Muay Thai strikes. Mackenzie then drives the face of Cassie into her own corner where she tags Crystal back in. Mackenzie drapes Cassie over the ropes in the corner and Crystal leaps over and drives both knees into her exposed midsection, driving her down into the mat.
Adams: Well Young Justice was doing plenty of double teaming earlier. I guess fair is fair.
Crystal pulls her away from the ropes and goes for the cover, hooking the inside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Cassie gets her shoulder up!
Crystal wastes no time by dragging Cassie back upright and she twists her arm into an extended wrist lock. Holding on, Crystal runs up the ropes and then jumps off, throwing Wolfe over with a smooth Hurricanrana! Cassie is almost close enough to make the tag -- Harper leaning all the way over with her arm extended but Crystal drags her back to where she can tag Mackenzie back inside.
Simone: I have to admit I am surprised at the fluidity of the teamwork between Mackenzie Page and Crystal Zdunich.
Mackenzie Irish whips Cassie into the ropes and she scoops her up for a sidewalk slam -- only to have Cassie scissor her head along the way and she throws Page over to the mat! Mackenzie is right back up, pissed off and Harper grabs her from the outside but Mackenzie spins around and decks her, knocking Mason off of the apron and to the ringside floor!
Adams: Look out!
But this distraction is costly enough as Cassie catches Mackenzie from behind with a running dropkick that sends the London Underground enforcer tumbling through the ropes! She lands heavily on the ringside floor but forces her way back to her feet and turns around -- just in time for Cassie to leap through the ropes in a suicide dive, wiping Mackenzie out!
Simone: And Young Justice has taken control!
Daniel Morgan watches with a grave frown as Crystal protests heavily from her corner! Jacob orders Cassie back inside and Wolfe obliges, but this distraction allows Harper to launch herself off of the metal ring steps, clotheslining Mackenzie Page to the floor! Harper drags her to her feet and quickly rolls her back inside, Jacob catching site of this and he admonishes her! As Mackenzie sits up, Cassie comes off the ropes and connects with a shining wizard knee strike!
Adams: The Greenest Wizard!
Cassie with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Crystal drags Cassie off by the boot!
Simone: Turnabout is fair play!
Cassie protests to Jacob but shrugs it off and tags Harper back into the match. Cassie holds Mackenzie as Harper quickly doubles her over with a roundhouse kick to the midsection, following up with an Exploder suplex! Harper with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Mackenzie kicks out!
Mackenzie begins to fight her way out of the spot she's in, until Cassie comes in and she and Harper send Mackenzie into the ropes for a double clothesline but Mackenzie ducks under the blow! She comes off the far side and she jumps, delivering a spear to BOTH young women! Crystal is jumping up and down, extending her arm and....!
Adams: She gets the tag!
Crystal immediately climbs to the top of her team's corner and as Young Justice stand, Crystal jumps off and hits both Harper and Cassie with a flying body press! Cassie is forced from the ring as Crystal takes over on Harper! Crystal brings her upright and goes for an Irish whip but Harper reverses it! Harper scoops her up but Crystal turns it into a Tilt-A-Whirl DDT, planting Mason's head into the canvas! Crystal with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Cassie breaks it up!
The official forces Cassie back out as Crystal tags Mackenzie back in!
Simone: Perhaps a bit premature on Crystal's part, bringing Mackenzie back in this quickly?
Mackenzie sends Harper into the corner and the impact causes Mason to land on her backside! Mackenzie then charges in with a running hip attack! Mackenzie drags her from the corner by the legs and hooks her legs under her arms, looking out to first Daniel and then crystal! Mackenzie then begins to spin her around and around...!
Adams: Giant swing! Around and around she goes! And where she stops...!
Mackenzie lets go and Harper is sent tumbling across the ring!
Simone: Only Mackenzie knows!
Mackenzie is unsteady on her own feet and Harper is lucky enough to have landed close enough for Cassie Wolfe to tag herself back into the match! Cassie runs over and dropkicks Crystal, sending her off the ring apron! She calls out to Harper who starts to climb to the top as Cassie grabs Mackenzie and holds her!
Adams: Oh oh! I think Young Justice is setting up the win here!
Cassie holds Mackenzie and Harper leaps for a missile dropkick from the top -- but Mackenzie delivers a swift back elbow to the head, breaking free and Harper connects with Cassie instead!
Simone: Oh NO!
Crystal trips Harper and drags her to the outside as Mackenzie grabs Cassie and sets her up for the Desecrator...!
Adams: MackStabber!
Mackenzie with the cover! Harper tries to get back inside to break it up but Crystal holds onto her legs to prevent it!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners! Mackenzie Page and Crystal Zdunich! Golden Ring Casino!
The crowd cheers (and boos) as Daniel joins them in the ring! Crystal practically jumps into Mackenzie's arms for a hug but Page pushes her off, all the while Joshua Acquin and Harper check on Cassie!
Cameras were just coming back to the ringside area when "S.H.O" by Baby Tate began to play over the speaker system. As expected the live audience showed their excitement right away. Several loud cheers could be heard the very second the music was heard. A shot from the cameras cutting right over to the entrance way just as Aleesha could be seen making her way from gorilla position and onto the stage. A very bright smile covered her lips. Finding herself instantly waving to the fans.
Simone: It's that time Jason! We're about to find out who Aleesha will be facing on December 22nd. I am so excited. Do you think you might know who it could be?
Adams: I couldn't even begin to guess if I tried. We have a fine selection of champions in the Bombshell division. It could be any one of them, but then again. I never thought we'd see Aleesha back in a SCW ring to begin with. So clearly, I'm not the prediction type!
Little by little Aleesha had begun to make her way down the ramp. Going side to side taking a chance to slap hands with fans. Even take a couple of photos with a few of them. The second she was at ringside she found herself dashing to the ring and sliding under the bottom rope. She pushed herself right up to her feet and made the call for a microphone. In a matter of seconds she had one in her hands. With his music starting to die out. Allowing her to address the crowd.
Aleesha: First and foremost. Allow me to just say thank you.
She paused for the moment. Nodding her head a little bit with the crowd cheering her on a little more.
Aleesha: Thank you for your overwhelming support during the time I was injured and away. Thank you for the outstanding and loving ovation you gave me in my return at High Stakes. Thank you for rooting me in that match. There were easily a few other women you could have gotten behind that night, but you really showed your love and support for me. On top of being the inaugural winner of the Bombshell High Stakes Rumble being a memory I'll never forget. Your support makes it all the more special. So truly, thank you wonderful people!
It was like every single fan in the audience tonight was alive. She could feel the rumbling of the arena and knew she had their support. It only allowed her smile to spread a little more.
Aleesha: That being said I know what you are all waiting for. I know that Christian and Mark are waiting. And I know what a few people in the back are waiting for. So, there's no point in wasting anyone's time. Let's get down to business shall we?
Following those words. Aleesha found herself settled back in one of the corners in the ring. As comfortable as she could be in leaning there.
Aleesha: With my win. I am granted a championship of my choosing. Meaning on that night I could face anyone from the Bombshell World Champion, the Roulette Champion, or the Internet Champion. Heck, if I was feeling real spicy. I could find myself a tag team partner and go after the Mixed Tag Team Championships if I really wanted. Wide open, but the thing is as I said following my win. I only intend to face a champion that I respect!
The word respect got quite the response out of the crowd. Something that they seemed to at the very least share with her when it came to what they wanted to see.
Aleesha: I intend to only get in the ring with someone that I know will have the same mutual respect for me. Someone that's going to have respect for the match and make sure the two of us put on a match that won't be forgotten about anytime in the near future. I only want to face a champion that is no doubt going to meet my challenge head on like a champion and bring everything she has to the table in the spirit of competition. And as far as I am concerned there's only one champion right now in the Bombshell division that displays those qualities.
Right then she pushed herself out of the corner and took a few steps towards the middle of the ring. Her eyes focused on nowhere else other than the stage.
Aleesha: Bella Madison... if you could do me the honor of coming out here right now. I'd greatly appreciate that!
The sheer mention of that woman's name had the crowd in a frenzy. Every single fan seemed to rise on their feet. That smile of Aleesha's only grew with the crowd's response. Standing her ground in the ring.
Adams: There we have it Belinda. It seems pretty clear to me where this is headed. She's calling out the newly crowned Bombshell Internet Champion!
Simone: In the pit of my gut. Somehow I felt like this might have been the path that she took. Aleesha was forced to vacate that very championship due to that concussion that sidelined her for over a year.
Adams: I could only imagine what she was thinking during that entire time. Reached a mega milestone in your career and then have it all taken from you due to an injury. This is something that had to weigh on her mind every day damn near.
Simone: Most likely, but if this is the route Aleesha is going to take. Just because she's calling the champion out. Just because she has that championship opportunity. It doesn't mean winning the title is going to come easy. Especially not against Bella!
Arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken with a different set of footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kick pads.
The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing a designer suit with a wet looking top underneath a new version of her ring jacket, along with a skirt and knee high boots, around her waist she has the SCW Bombshell's Internet Championship strapped around it. She stops for a moment and pulls the title from her waist and allows herself a moment to soak in the cheers from the crowd in Denver.
Simone: At High Stakes, Bella Madison, thanks to the fans of SCW, got one more shot at singles gold. A promise that she had made not just for herself but for the universe of fans before time ran out in 2024.
Adams: The people put faith in her after quite a number of chances at every single championship match she had, only to come up short.
Simone: She didn't at High Stakes though! Bella put it all on the line against Julianna and now she walks into the first Climax Control.
Bella makes her way to ringside, slapping the hands of the fans along the way before she ascends the steps to the ring where Aleesha is patiently waiting. Towards the end of the chorus, Bella climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket, raising the Internet Championship high above her head with a smirk and a wink as the song fades out.
Adams: She is very much soaking this moment in, isn't she?
Simone: One thing about Bella, she didn't demand a championship celebration, though some may argue that she deserved it. Instead from the looks of things, it's right to work just like any champion would.
Bella reaches down and is handed a microphone from one of the ring side attendants as the crowd chants "YOU DESERVE IT!". She looks around for a moment and just smiles brightly.
Bella: Denver, Colorado you are beautiful. Thank you so much for the welcome. Aleesha, I know you just wanna get down to business but I just need a moment here. Listen guys, I'm not gonna stand here and blow smoke up your ass but real quick, to the entire SCW Universe, thank you for believing in me. When I came back, after having my daughter, I knew what my goal was. I didn't care if it was Roulette, Internet or World but I knew that my goal was clear and that was to claim my first ever singles championship. I had my fair share of people that deterred that. More specifically Victoria Lyons and I almost had her but it took the collective of the SCW Universe to put me into a shot to finally make it all come together. So sincerely, from my heart, thank you to those that believed in me.
The fans cheer.
Bella: AND, because I know there were a few that voted to think I'd trip again thus extending Julianna's title reign well... HA HA HA HA HA, karma's a bitch and so am I.
Bella smirks and finally turns her attention to Aleesha.
Bella: Ok, now that I got that out of my system...Aleesha, congratulations on your win at High Stakes. A title shot, any title at the Christmas episode of Climax Control. So, I'm gonna shush here and we're going to get the inevitable out of the way. Call your shot.
Aleesha: I'm calling my shot against you at Climax Control 413. You and I for that...
She pointed right towards the Internet Championship that Bella wore so proudly.
Aleesha: A match between the two of us that could really shake the foundation of this division. You know it. I know it. These people know it. And I mean what I say Bella. I respect the hell out of you. I respect that you're not the typically bratty second generation born with a silver spoon in her mouth kind of girl. You have never relied on the family name to get ahead. You've never relied on who your mother is to get you in certain positions. Never used your mother to do any bidding for you in favors. No, you are a woman that has put her head down and did the work.
For a second or two she had paused. Just walking back and forth in a straight line right there before Bella. The crowd sitting on the edge of their seats and watching this go down right before their very eyes.
Aleesha: You have grinded. You have worked hard. Every single time you got knocked down. You got right back up. At no point did you ever really consider walking away and just being done when things got tough. Sure. You are human and as a human you got frustrated. You had moments of doubt. You may have questioned yourself a time or two. But you didn't give up. You knew you had to get back on the horse and keep trying. All of which has led you to your very first singles championship here in Sin City Wrestling. You deserve all the respect and all the credit in the world for doing what you've done.
Standing there looking at the woman that would now be her opponent in a few short weeks. Her hands clapped together a little bit in a genuine manner.
Bella: You're not lying and I feel like that may have shocked a few people that I didn't use nepotism to get ahead because I actually have respect for this business that we call wrestling. You have already stated this. You earned the shot and I am not going to refuse you, even if I could. Hell, you wanna talk respect...You have battled back, you make that amazing return and you won. So you are absolutely on and I will defend the SCW Internet Championship. In fact, I'm looking forward to it.
Bella reaches out her hand and Aleesha holds her hand up.
Aleesha: But there's just one thing I don't like. One thing I guess you could say I don't respect.
There was a sudden silence that overcame the crowd. They all looked a little stunned about where this was about to go.
Aleesha: It's no real fault of yours or anything like that. It's just this label of champion isn't something I care too much for. Again, not your fault. But that championship that you hold right now. Despite the hell of a fight you put on for it. It isn't technically yours. It wasn't technically the person that held it before you. It wasn't Tempest's. It wasn't Ariana's. It wasn't Courtney's or Luna's. It was mine!
A small change in her voice. Aleesha found her eyes narrowing a little bit while taking a step towards the middle of the ring where Bella stood.
Aleesha: I had that championship ripped away from me because of an injury. I had that championship ripped away from me because some selfish old head couldn't stand the fact a young up and coming guard had taken over. I had my championship taken from me from a cowardly ass bitch that couldn't even find a way to stick around long enough so I could come back and beat her ass!
True frustration was pouring out of the women. With both ladies staring one another down.
Aleesha: As much as you work hard to be in the situation you are in. I worked hard to be in the situation I was in over a year ago. Then it was all taken from me. And I get it. Boo-freaking-hoo right? This is pro wrestling. We know the risks we take stepping into this ring. Injuries happen. They're going to always happen. It's the line of work we chose, but it doesn't make it any less painful to know when I was just starting to peak and tap into the potential I had. I was put on the shelf and lost all of it. Just to have to fight, scratch, and cawl my way back to this. Just to be back in the ring. Just to be standing here. And just to be able to say hey, I'm challenging you for that championship.
A little bit of a crowd reaction could be heard. Still very positive and clearly letting it be known that they wanted to see this match, but the situation in the ring was a little more tense that people might have thought. So the response was a little less lively than it had been.
Aleesha: I might not respect that you call yourself champion when that championship as far as I am concerned still belongs to me. But you can easily earn that respect and easily earn the title of champion if you beat me. I say if because... I want that more than you could ever imagine. I am more motivated than I was a year ago. I am more focused than I was a year ago. I am somehow more driven than I was a year ago. Because now more than ever. I understand how quickly everything you love and everything you work hard for can be taken from you. Just like that.
Snapping her fingers together above her head to help emphasize the point. Not taking her eyes off Bella for even a second.
Bella: So here is where you and I differ. Yes, you got hurt. Yes, you had to step away and leave behind everything that you ever worked for and that includes the SCW Internet Championship. But you are not about to discredit the women that came after you. What happened, it happened. But SCW and the division that you lead before your injury, it had to move on. You can accept that absolute fact. I have no issue whatsoever in facing you for what was yours. But I'm going to make something clear, I'm not about to be a transitional champion. There is no denying what was, but what is is this, I am the SCW Internet Champion. There is no asterisk next to my name. There is always a saying that goes around here that the battle isn't getting to the championship, it's keeping it. I know what is ahead of me, and your motivation to once again be atop this division is going to have to understand that the times have changed.
Bella holds up the title.
Bella: This is mine now and I don't plan on letting it go any time soon. Just because you were the Internet Champion, means nada to now. I am the reigning champion and a champion, I will remain.
The tension between the two could truly be felt by the crowd in attendance. Aleesha had strong arguments even if it made her seem less than the usual fan favorite. Bella herself had her own strong arguments that had her standing her crowd. For a moment the silence between the two women was everything as the crowd sat on the edge of their seats. Aleesha found himself stepping forward.
Aleesha: Guess there's only one thing left for us to do then huh?
Her eyes were narrowed a bit. Seemingly standing her ground where she stood. Only to extend her left hand out in the direction of Bella.
Aleesha: Wish ya the best of luck 'champ' because you're going to need it.
Bella looks down at Aleesha's hand and instead of taking it with her left hand, she keeps ahold of the championship with her left and she simply reaches out with her right for an awkward shake. There is no music, but it goes to commercial with the two women staring the other down.
The camera shot shifts to the backstage area where the dressing rooms for wrestlers are located. The roving camera person comes to the dressing room for Felix THE CAT Hernandez so they let Hernandez know they are at the door and Felix opens the door and invites them into his dressing room.
Felix: Please make yourself comfortable while I continue to get ready for my entrance for the Internet Championship match.
Felix roams around picking some items up to bring with him to the ring and picking other items to be put away so there is not a mess in the dressing room.
Felix: As you can see I do not have Bea Barnhart with me at this time. Whether she comes to ringside to serve as my Manager for my match, or if she remains backstage, is up to her to decide. However Bea did inform me that she wanted to keep an eye on the Stainless Steel Briefcase in case the Entity had some idea of interfering in my match. Not that Bea would be able to stop the Entity should it decide to do something but at least the effort is being made by her.
Felix has all his items ready for him to make his walk to the staging area to be ready for his entrance for his match.
Felix: I am off to the staging area to be ready for my entrance for my match. Only one of us, ME of course, will exit the match with the Internet Championship legally around my waist. Although I admire Helluva Bottom Carter and I state that he is a great wrestler, and agile around the ring, but everyone can be defeated at any given time. Tonight is the night Helluva Bottom Carter experiences a loss to me.
One of the backstage persons arrives and Felix follows them down the hallway to get to the staging area. The camera person keeps their camera on Felix until he turns a corner and goes out of sight. The camera person then notifies the Network and they cut the camera feed of that camera person.
Simone: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the match you've been waiting for! Two contrasting styles collide tonight—Felix's methodical technical prowess versus HB Carter's high-flying, flamboyant antics. Buckle up!
Adams: Simone, I've been looking forward to this one all week. Felix is a no-nonsense grappler, and Carter... well, HB is a showstopper in every sense of the word. Dawn Barnes is our referee, and she's going to have her hands full!
Justin: From Athens, Georgia, FELIX THE CAT
The Felix The Cat theme song hits the speakers as Felix Hernandez, who has the nickname THE CAT, steps out from the backstage area carrying his trademark stainless-steel briefcase he calls his Magic Bag of Tricks. He stops at the middle of the landing while the Felix The Cat theme song plays.
"Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful. cat. Whenever he get's into a fix, he reaches into his magic bag of tricks. Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful, cat. You'll laugh so much your sides will ache. Your heart will go pitter pat. Watching Felix the wonderful cat."
When the song ends Felix Hernandez starts to walk down the ramp to the ring. When he arrives at ringside he walks up the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. After playing up the crowd for a short time Felix walks to a corner where he slides his stainless-steel briefcase under the ropes onto the ring apron. Felix then leans back into the corner to await the arrival of his opponent. He's outside the ring speaking strategy with Bea.
Adams: Felix looks ready for a clinic tonight, Simone. He's not here for theatrics—he's here to dominate.
5 Seconds of Summer's hit "No Shame" erupts over the sound system and the crowd turns to the stage where Helluva Bottom Carter dances out onto the stage amidst the cheers of the SCW Universe! Clad in his favorite Ostrich jacket and sparkling lavender shades over his eyes, Carter bows and sweeps at the waist, blowing a kiss.. But this time he's not alone, walking out behind him, just a few seconds after is none other than Alexandra Calaway.
Justin: From Seattle, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy six pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!
Carter runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and removes his shades and jacket, passing them out to Alexandra Calaway, who hands them to the ring attendant before laying across the top corner, awaiting the match starting. He also slips her the Internet Championship.
Simone: And here comes HB Carter, bringing the charisma and flair! The fans love this energy!
Adams: All that glitz is great, but will it hold up against Felix's brutal submissions and power moves? We're about to find out!
DING DING DING!
The match begins with both wrestlers circling each other. Felix lunges forward, locking Carter in a collar-and-elbow tie-up.
Simone: Felix wasting no time asserting his dominance. He wants to dictate the pace early. If he can keep this pressure on there's a good chance we could see the Internet Championship change hands tonight.
Felix transitions into a headlock, grinding Carter's head under his arm. Carter struggles but counters with a wristlock arm drag, flipping Felix onto his back.
Adams: Look at that agility from HB! Felix better stay sharp, our Internet Champion isn't going to just hand that title over.
Felix kips up and charges, but Carter ducks under and hits a slingblade, following up with a basement dropkick to Felix's chest. Felix rolls to the outside to regroup.
Simone: What a sequence from HB Carter! Felix wasn't ready for that speed.
Felix slides back into the ring cautiously, but Carter seizes the opportunity, whipping Felix into the corner. Carter cartwheels into a handspring clothesline, flattening Felix against the turnbuckles.
Adams: HB is pulling out all the stops, and Felix is reeling!
Carter climbs to the top rope, setting up for a Diving Meteora, but Felix rolls out of the way just in time! Carter crashes to the mat.
Simone: Carter went for broke and paid for it! Now Felix has an opening.
Felix capitalizes, dragging Carter up and hitting a suplex with authority. He follows with a series of stomps, targeting Carter's limbs methodically.
Adams: This is where Felix thrives—breaking his opponent down piece by piece. HB Carter is in trouble.
Felix locks in a hammerlock, wrenching Carter's arm behind his back. Carter grits his teeth, trying to maneuver to the ropes.
Simone: Carter needs to break this hold fast, or Felix will dismantle him!
Carter finally reaches the ropes, forcing Felix to release the hold. Felix attempts to pull Carter back to the center, but Carter counters with a jumping neckbreaker that leaves both wrestlers on the mat.
Adams: What a counter! Carter showing incredible resilience here.
The crowd roars as Carter kips up, delivering a calf kick to Felix as he stands. Carter follows up with a wheelbarrow DDT, spiking Felix's head into the mat.
Simone: HB Carter is turning up the heat! Felix is in a daze!
Carter signals to the crowd and climbs the top rope, leaping off with a diving moonsault that lands perfectly on Felix. Carter hooks the leg for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Felix kicks out!
Adams: Close call! Felix isn't done yet!
Felix rolls to the apron, pulling himself up. Carter runs toward him, leaping over the top rope with a diving front dropkick that sends Felix crashing to the floor.
Simone: Oh my! HB Carter risking it all with that high-flying maneuver!
Carter tosses Felix back into the ring, but Felix surprises Carter with a spear as soon as he re-enters. Felix covers for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Carter kicks out!
Felix, growing frustrated, locks in a figure-four leg lock, applying immense pressure to Carter's legs.
Adams: Felix has the figure-four! This could be the end for HB!
Carter writhes in agony but refuses to tap, slowly dragging both wrestlers to the ropes to force the break. The tension in the match reaches its boiling point. Both Felix and HB Carter are exhausted but still fighting tooth and nail. The crowd is on their feet, sensing the end is near. Felix struggles to his feet, and HB Carter climbs the top rope, signaling for the Fruit Fly. Suddenly, Bea, one of Felix's allies, leaps onto the apron, waving her arms and shouting at the referee.
Simone: Wait a minute! What's Bea doing here? She's got no business interfering in this match!
Adams: Come on, Simone! She's just... uh, offering moral support. Totally innocent, right?
Dawn Barnes, the referee, turns her attention to Bea, trying to shoo her off the apron. This momentary distraction halts Carter's momentum. Carter, perched on the top rope, glares at Bea but doesn't move, knowing that leaving his position could cost him.
Out of nowhere, Alexandra Calaway, who had been watching from ringside to support Carter, sprints around the corner. The crowd erupts as she grabs Bea by the leg and yanks her off the apron with force, causing Bea to land awkwardly on her feet before stumbling backward.
Simone: Alexandra Calaway to the rescue! She's not about to let Bea spoil this match! And she's damn sure not going to let Bea help Felix steal the title from Carter.
Adams: Oh, and here we go! It's turning into an all-out brawl outside the ring!
Bea, furious, throws the first punch, and Calaway answers with a right hook of her own. The two women exchange blows, their fists flying in rapid succession. The crowd roars in approval as the fight intensifies. Calaway gains the upper hand, driving Bea into the barricade with a hard shove.
Simone: This is chaos! Calaway and Bea are tearing each other apart outside the ring!
Adams: And inside the ring, Carter's got a golden opportunity if they can capitalize!
With the referee still distracted by the commotion at ringside, Carter seizes the moment. As Felix, unaware of the chaos outside, turns his focus back to his opponent, Carter springs off the top rope, hitting the Fruit Fly (Eclipse) with pinpoint precision.
Simone: Fruit Fly! Carter hits it! This has to be it!
Carter quickly covers Felix as the referee, finally noticing the pin, drops to the mat to count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner.... HB Carter!
Simone: What a match! HB Carter pulls off the victory in spectacular fashion! He remains out Internet Champion!
Adams: Felix put up a hell of a fight, but Carter's unorthodox style and relentless energy were too much to handle tonight.
Carter celebrates atop the turnbuckle, pointing to the roaring fans. Felix sits in the corner, holding his neck, visibly frustrated. Alexandra slips into the ring and hands Carter his Internet Championship, before raising his other hand.
We are joined by Max Burke via pre-recorded video. Max is kneeling in front of his fireplace stoking the fire. He rises and takes a seat in his aged brown leather wingback chair.
Burke: I've been sitting here trying to formulate the words, but it's been a struggle. Ever since Mark called, and relayed this unfortunate news it's had me reflecting. You and I, we had quite the history in Sin City. You brought out the best in me during our battles over the Roulette championship. You and I brought something different to the division. It was an honour to share the mat with you and create the art that we love. Looking up at the lights and you after you captured the Roulette championship was a moment I'll never forget. I knew what we did was special, and I was at peace with what we accomplished. You were a stand up individual in and out of the ring.
Max leans forward and picks up his glass of bourbon.
Burke: We've shared many a bottle during our careers and now I raise my glass one more time for you. Here's to you. My thoughts are with all your family, friends, and fans across the globe. Mr. Hardin, you will be missed my friend.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the stage... Sin City Wrestling's very own Hostess With the Mostess, Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The wrestling fans applaud and cheer as Amanda throws the curtains open and steps out onto the stage, clad in a tacky Christmas sweater and Christmas tree skirt (the type that is SUPPOSED to go around an actual tree). In one hand she is holding her microphone, and in the other, a blow up doll clad in a skimpy Mrs. Clause outfit! The music begins and Amanda starts her performance...
Amanda: I saw mommy kissing Mrs. Claus
Then I saw mommy tickle Mrs. Claus
I saw mommy kissing Mrs. Claus
Then I saw mommy tickle Mrs. Claus
I saw mommy kissing Mrs. Claus
Then I saw mommy tickle Mrs. Claus
Underneath her lingerie last night.
She would call me a "creep"
If she's aware that I peep—
So, much closer I snuck up,
Ogled wool that's not on sheep.
Underneath the sheerness of her slight
Attire; after that I gasped when
She acted then just like men:
Mommy diddled Mrs. Claus' lap site.
Now I think that I am scared for life
I crept downstairs
But I was not prepared
For what I saw them do with my own eyes
In between her legs on Christmas Eve
Oh, what a laugh she let out
On Daddy's brand new couch
Mommy was kissing Mrs. Claus last night.
Now I think that I am scared for life
I crept downstairs
But I was not prepared
For what I saw them do with my own eyes
In between her legs on Christmas Eve
Oh, what a laugh she let out
On Daddy's brand new couch
Mommy was kissing Mrs. Claus last night
Oh, what a laugh she let out
On Daddy's brand new couch
Mommy was kissing Mrs. Clause last night
The song comes to an end and the crowd cheers and laughs as Amanda gives the blow up doll a hug and it pops! Amanda watches it slowly deflate and looks to the crowd with a pouty lip as the spotlight fades.
Simone: It's time for the Main Event folks! And for the Wolves of Gheimhridh a chance to right a wrong! At the beginning of the last cycle they lost the Mixed Tag Team Titles in controversial fashion to The Lyons Den after Miles Kasey interfered but now they are facing off in a rematch!
Adams: Let's not forget that Eddie booked himself in a singles title match against Finn after he won the men's High Stakes Rumble for the Christmas Show happening, well, guess! This combined with the fact that when Kayla and Victoria faced off in a non-title champion vs. champion match Kayla got the win with the Ghostlock but Victoria never tapped out! Both of those facts have to be weighing heavily on the minds of Kayla and Finn!
Justin: This should be a hell of a match, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! AND IT IS FOR THE SCW MIXED TAG TEAM TITLES!
A howl of a wolf is heard through the sound of a whistling snowstorm as Bad Omens "Artificial Suicide" hits. The pounding drums matching almost step for step as Kayla Richards and Finn Whelan make their way out onto the entrance way. They look at each other and start to make their way down to the ring, Finn focused and glaring at the crowd as Kayla struts arrogantly behind him. The two make their way down to the ring as Kayla moves up the steps onto the apron and Finn slides in under the bottom rope and pops to his feet before standing in the corner putting his foot on the bottom rope as their await the match to begin.
Justin: Introducing the challengers, the World Bombshell Champion Kayla Richards, and the World Heavyweight Champion Finn Whelen, THE WOLVES OF GHEIMHRIDH!
Simone: Whoever thought they'd be introduced as the challengers after they've been so dominant with the Mixed Tag Titles for most of the year?
Adams: Not me, that's for sure!
The roar of a lion is heard before The Emptiness Machine by Linkin Park plays over the PA and Eddie Lyons walks out and raises his arms as the crowd cheers followed immediately by Victoria Lyons who pushes her way in front of Eddie raising her arms, inciting boos from the crowd.
Justin: And their opponents, the Bombshell Roulette Champion Victoria Lyons and "Unbreakable" Eddie Lyons, they are the reigning and defending Mixed Tag Team Champions, THE LYONS DEN!
They continue down the ramp Victoria always a couple steps ahead of Eddie taunting the fans while he tags some of their hands on their way down.
Simone: As mentioned before, both Eddie and Victoria came out victorious, no pun intended, at High Stakes but after that war with Luna the question is: how tender is Victoria?
Adams: She's clearly feeling the effects of that match in spite of her attempts to hide it!
Once in the ring they both stand in the middle posing with Victoria always trying to get in front and cover Eddie and in the camera frame as he throws his arms in the air in frustration, once their entrance is done Jasmine retrieves the singles titles held by Finn, Kayla and Victoria before asking for the Mixed Tag Titles from the Lyons Eddie hands his half over without hesitation but Victoria goes rogue by instead taking a swing at Kayla with her half! Kayla ducks it and a brawl erupts between all four wrestlers but ass soon as Kayla and Victoria's brawl takes them to the outside Jasmine calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: I'm honestly surprised Victoria waited that long.
Adams: Either way, this is off to an explosive start!
Once the bell rings both pairs of wrestlers continue trading blows, the women on the outside of the ring and the men on the inside of the ring and Jasmine doing her best to maintain order between all four of them! Eddie manages to get the upper hand on Finn and goes for his version of the Lyons Roar early but Finn reverses the attempt into a Northern Lights Suplex! Finn bridges for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Eddie gets the shoulder up.
Simone: Not even ten minutes into the match and we have a pinfall attempt by the challengers.
Adams: And only after an early finisher attempt by Eddie on Finn!
Finn shakes his head before picking up Eddie only to get caught with a jawbreaker from his future challenger sending him stumbling back, meanwhile Victoria has gotten the upper hand on Kayla and backs her into the ring steps before getting on her team's corner and cheering on her cousin from the ring apron while Kayla licks her wounds on the outside, Finn tries to rebound against Eddie but Eddie ducks under it and hits a bridging German Suplex for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Finn gets the shoulder up, by this point Kayla is back up on the apron and clearly wants to get more of Victoria but Finn doesn't see her as he's still getting up after the German Suplex from Eddie.
Simone: This could well be a preview of their match at the Christmas Special!
Adams: Could be! Neither Eddie or Finn are giving an inch against the other!
Both men get back to their feet and Finn makes the first move by clocking Eddie with a right hand, this sends Eddie stumbling back but Eddie returns fire with a lariat that knocks the World Heavyweight Champion down! Eddie goes for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Finn kicks out but Eddie switches tactics by locking in a Single Leg Boston Crab on Finn! Victoria nods in approval but Kayla is calling for the tag.
Simone: And now Eddie has Finn at his mercy with that submission.
Adams: But if Finn can reach Kayla he'll have no choice but to let go off the hold and tag in Victoria!
It seems like that's exactly what's going to happen because rather than crawl towards the ring ropes to force the rope break Finn is crawling towards the Wolves' corner to make the tag to Kayla! However Eddie is alerted to this by Victoria and he promptly pulls Finn back towards the centre of the ring, realizing Finn's just going to try for the tag again Eddie abandons the submission idea and instead goes for a Brainbuster! However Finn slips out the back and rolls him up!
ONE!
TWO!
And Eddie kicks out! Finn uses this opportunity to make a beeline for his team's corner and makes the tag at the same time as Eddie tags in Victoria!
Simone: And now the ladies are taking over!
Adams: Eddie probably realized that he was out of position to stop Finn from tagging in Kayla hence why he didn't hesitate to tag in Victoria!
As soon as Jasmine confirms both tags as legit Kayla and Victoria pick up right where they left off at the beginning of the match with an all out brawl between the two champions while their male partners watch on from the ringside area! Victoria goes for a wild right hand but Kayla ducks it and whips Victoria into a neutral corner and follow the Roulette Champion in but charges right into Victoria's boot sending the World Bombshell Champ stumbling back and Victoria takes the advantage with a cross body off the middle rope! Victoria goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla gets the shoulder up!
Simone: Kayla gets the early advantage but gets it turned around on her and gets the first pinfall for the women,
Adams: If she can keep that up the Lyons could beat the Wolves again!
Eddie continues to cheer on his cousin from the ringside area while Finn looks on warily from the ring apron as both women get to their feet, Victoria tries to press the advantage on Kayla by unloading a couple of stiff forearms to her chin to back her up to the ring ropes where she goes to whip her across the ring only to get it reversed on her! However Victoria launches herself onto the ring apron and then hits a Springboard Dropkick on Kayla before going for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla gets the shoulder up! Victoria takes a page out of her cousin's book by trying to keep the pressure on Victoria with a Boston Crab but Kayla reverses it by kicking Victoria away and catching her with a Small Package on the rebound.
ONE!
TWO!
And Victoria kicks out! Both women get to their feet and Victoria tries to take the advantage back by hitting a lariat but Kayla reverses it into a Sliced Bread #2 which she bridges for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Victoria BARELY kicks out!
Simone: It's clear to see that Victoria has learned a lot from her first two matches with Kayla!
Adams: Thing is? The same can be said by Kayla about Victoria!
Both women are slow to get to their feet and Eddie tries to step in and drag his cousin to their corner but Finn cuts him off as soon as he enters the ring, hitting his younger opponent with a running clothesline that takes them both out of the ring! Back inside the ring Victoria has gotten to her feet first and, seeing Kayla is still down, she calls for the end before heading straight to the top rope!
Simone: Victoria just called for the Nova Burst!
Adams: This is how she won the Roulette Title from Alexandra Callaway this past summer, albeit she hit the move from the top of a diving board but still, can she go two for two?!
Victorias goes for the move as soon as Kayla gets back to her feet but Kayla ducks the attempt and gets the Ghostlock locked in! Eddie sees this and tries to dive into the ring but Finn blocks him and hits the REVELATION 6:4!
Simone: Kayla has the Ghostlock on Victoria and Eddie has been hit with one of Finn's finishers!
Adams: This is almost a repeat of how the first match ended! Stick a fork in the Lyons, they're done!
Victoria tries to fight off the submission but it's no use as Kayla has it locked in tight, in the end Victoria doesn't tap, rather she passes out and Jasmine calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Victoria Lyons can not continue, therefore the winners of the match and NEW MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, THE WOLVES OF GHEIMHRIDH!
Simone: Kayla and Finn are the mixed tag team champs again and, unless they defend the titles between now and the new year, might be for the foreseeable!
Adams: Give the Lyons credit, they came in ready for a fight but it wasn't enough!
The Wolves celebrate with their newly won titles while Jasmine checks on Victoria.
Simone: What a way to end the show, with new champions but that is all we have time for join us again next week for another edition of Climax Control. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everyone!
