Simone: Welcome to Climax Control and our opening contest! And we are opening the Elimination Chamber Qualifiers in a big way as two stalwarts of the Bombshell Division square off for a spot in the Bombshell Match! Crystal Zdunich and Mercedes Vargas go one on one and that match is next!

Adams: This would be a great way to kick off 2025 for both veterans, Mercedes and Crystal got the wins in their matches at Inception VI and this opportunity is a big one, even if we don't know the prize yet!

Simone: Without further ado, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your opening contest, scheduled for one fall and it as an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match!

Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me“ by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.

Justin: Making her way to the ring from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!

Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponent(s) to arrive.

Simone: Mercedes has certainly been around the block but can she secure a spot in the chamber?

Adams: Crystal isn't an easy opponent by any stretch, we'll soon see!

The arena fades to black and as it does we are treated to the loud sounds of Let It Go by Demi Lovato blasting all across the speakers. We are treated to fog filling the arena that looks like mist and snow flurries begin to fall from the ceiling. As the music picks up we can see two figures emerging through the curtain. Those figures are the Zdunichs. Seleana claps for her wife as Crystal emerges out in blue top with white ruffles on the front and extended down to her knee on the left side. She wears a short, black lace skirt with a white belt. She wears blue glovelets fastened by black straps. She has black ribbons on her upper arms and knee-high brown UGG Style boots with no heel. Crystal smirks as she has a white rose in her hand and she smells it bringing a smile to her face.

Justin: Making her way to the ring being accompanied by Seleana Zdunich born in Detroit Michigan representing Los Angeles, California she is “The Winter Rose“ Crystal Zdunich!!!

Crystal walks down the aisle all smiles. She claps the hands of the outstretched fans as she stops and hands her white rose to a special little girl in the audience. She finally makes it to the ring where she does a split to enter the ring. She rises back up and blows kisses to all of the fans that are cheering her on. She bounces about as Seleana claps her hands for her wife. Crystal waves her hands running her hands through her long blue hair as she waits for the match to start.

Simone: Say what you will about Crystal's past antics, she is a former champ and Hall of Famer for a reason.

Adams: This should be a great one!

Holly goes over the rules with both women before calling for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And tonight's opener is underway.

Adams: And the first of tonight's qualifiers to boot!

Once the bell rings Mercedes tries to get the jump on Crystal from the offset but Crystal catches with a deep arm drag, Mercedes gets to her feet but catches a high dropkick for her trouble knocking her out of the ring and Crystal hypes up the San Diego crowd before she goes for a through the ropes dive! However Mercedes catches Crystal with a leaping European Uppercut mid dive and that stuns Crystal long enough for Mercedes to Suplex her onto the ring apron.

Simone: Crystal had the advantage early on but then Mercedes caught her square with that uppercut!

Adams: You could say that she was cut off! But pun aside, Crystal will feel that Suplex onto the apron for a while.

Mercedes shoves Crystal back into the ring while she's still reeling from the Suplex onto the apron before climbing onto the apron herself and executing a springboard senton on Crystal! Mercedes quickly goes for the first pin of the night.

ONE!

TWO!

And Crysyal gets the shoulder up! Mercedes shakes her head before picking up Crystal but the LA resident scores with a kick to the head after breaking free! Mercedes scrambles to the bottom rung of the corner but Crystal, while still favouring her back, hits with a running cannonball senton!

Simone: That senton could make all the difference!

Adams: Depends on the damage Crystal is feeling from that Suplax by Mercedes.

Crystal drags Mercedes out of the corner and goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

And Mercedes gets the shoulder up, Crystal grunts in frustration before she sets her sights on the top rope but her aching back slows down her ascent to the top rope long enough for Mercedes to recover, whatever Crystal was going for it involved putting her back to Mercedes and this gives the Argentinian Wrestler the chance to shove her opponent off the top rope and send her crashing into the barricade! Mercedes doesn't let up though as she heads to the top rope and when Crystal gets up Mercedes nails her with a flip dive to the outside!

Simone: Now Crystal's front AND back are hurting!

Adams: And Mercedes is loving it!

It's a few seconds before Mercedes is back on her feet (Holly's count is up to four at to be precise) but the 2x Hall of Famer is dragging Crystal up by her hair as she does so! Mercedes goes to roll Crystal into the ring but Crystal, spurred on by her wife Seleana, reverses it, sending Mercedes into the ring apron! Crystal gets back into the ring and holds onto the top rope, waiting for Mercedes to turn around, when she does Crystal goes for a Springboard Hurricanrana but unfortunately for her Mercedes saw it coming and counters it with a Powerbomb onto the ring apron! But she isn't done, Powerbombing Crystal onto the barricade and then swinging her into the barricade and ring apron for good measure! Mercedes rolls Crystal into the ring and follows her in before going for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

And Crystal kicks out!

Simone: Well if Crystal wasn't hurting before? She is now!

Adams: And that's all to Mercedes's advantage!

Mercedes shakes her head before shifting gears with a Single Leg Boston Crab really leaning back and putting the pressure on Crystal's aching back, Holly gets into position to ask Crystal if she wants to give up but she refuses and starts crawling her way over to the ring ropes in an attempt to break the hold, Seleana cheers on her wife and Crystal manages to get the rope break! Mercedes drags Crystal back to the centre of the ring but Crystal catches her with a Small Package!

ONE!

TWO!

And Mercedes kicks out.

Simone: Crystal's still in this and Mercedes isn't happy!

Adams: Something will have to give eventually.

Both women scramble to their feet though Crystal is clearly in worse shape than Mercedes but that doesn't stop her from mounting a comeback scoring with a series of forearms to Mercedes's face that back her up to the ring ropes before Crystal whips Mercedes off the ropes and scores with a dropkick on the rebound! Crystal heads to the top rope and waits for Mercedes to get back to her feet, when she does Crystal goes for a frying clothesline but Mercedes swats her out of the air with a Spear! Both women are down and with no movement from either, Holly starts her count.

Simone: This could be a turning point!

Adams: For either Crystal or Mercedes.

Holly's count reaches seven and Crystal is the first one up to her feet, thinking she has the match won Crystal calls for the Cold Snap and picks Mercedes up for her Hammerlock DDT! However Mercedes picks up Crystal and rams her back first into a corner break the attempt before turning her around and nailing the Black Rose Overdrive! Mercedes's version of the Burning Hammer plants Crystal in the middle of the ring!

Simone: And there's Mercedes with the Black Rose Overdrive!

Adams: Stick a fork in Crystal, she's done!

Mercedes goes for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here's your winner, Mercedes Vargas!

Simone: And it's official, Mercedes is the first wrestler to qualify for the Elimination Chamber Matches!

Adams: Crystal gave it a hell of a fight but it wasn't enough!

Mercedes celebrates her win while Justin checks on Crystal

The scene opens backstage where we see the ending to tonight's opening match Crystal Zdunich vs. Mercedes Vargas on a monitor.

Brooke: Two irrelevant old bats stuck opening the show while the future shines in the Main Event.

The crowd boos as the camera pans out to show Brooke Shields and Logan Hunter, Logan is already in his wrestling gear while Brooke is wearing a cropped tank top and denim shorts, the stunning red head, as usual, not being shy about showing off her body.

Brooke: Fitting, isn't it?

Logan: Maybe, maybe not, but tonight's Main Event is about more than just the Elimination Chamber Match, it's about sending a message.

Brooke grins as she folds her arms and then presses one of her feet against the wall.

Brooke: Of course! And if LJ gets a qualifying match next week? Well, we'll be ready!

Brooke looks at her nails playfully as she looks up at her much taller boyfriend.

Brooke: But in the meantime? We get to ask the age old question: which Kasey is the bigger idiot? LJ or Miles?

Logan: It doesn't matter because once the dust settles I will be in the Chamber and Miles will be a broke men left to scrounge for whatever opportunities he'll be thrown his way after I make him embrace oblivion! And if LJ gets involved?

Brooke: We'll be ready!

The hated young couple walk off as the scene fades.

We are backstage as Vinnie is playing the guitar for Pete and Iris, they are swaying to the rhythm of his guitar as Vinnie gets interrupted when Justin Decent walks up to him and places a hand on his shoulder.

Justin: Vinnie, can I have a word with you??

Vinnie looks over and gets into a fighting stance, motioning for him to hit him if he dares. This causes Justin to roll his eyes and shake his head.

Justin: Vinnie, how many times do I need to tell you that I am NOT Justin Smith?? I am the ring announcer.

Vinnie looks at him with a look of anticipation, not taking his fists away while keeping his eyes focused upon the ring announcer

Justin: Look, I am wearing a costume.. not wrestling gear.

Vinnie looks at his outfit before nodding his head, yet not pulling his fists down to a desperate reaction from Justin Decent.

Justin: I am not a trained fightr Vinnie…. I..

Vinnie: You should have thought of that before signing a contract with Sin City Wrestling amigo.

Justin: But…

Vinnie: But you know what?? I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Justin: You will??? Oh great, thanks Vinnie… I…

Vinnie: ONLY if you join me in singing a song for the happy couple… You do know the song Safety Dance right???

Justin: The… Safety… Dance???

Vinnie: Si amigo, it's a classic.

We see Pete and Iris nod their heads in agreement as the shot fades where Vinnie starts to play as Justin Decent shrugs and attempts to sing the song.

Justin: Our second match of this evening is a Standard Rules match pitting Justin Smith against Senor Vinnie. First to make his way to the ring he is from Tarrytown, New York, and he stands in at six feet four inches and two hundred fifty pounds, please give a great San Diego, California, welcome for JUSTIN SMITH!!!

The opening riff of MADNESS by LILIAC hits the speakers as Justin THE TARRYTOWN TORMENTER Smith comes out onto the entrance platform. Justin has a smug look on his face as he plays up the crowd. Justin stands there as the crowd gives him a negative reaction of boos. The New York Smasher walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step. Justin looks around the crowd and starts to walk towards the ring slowly stopping halfway down the ramp while giving an arrogant look on his face. The crowd erupts in a mostly negative reaction to Justin Smith but he does not care what they think. Justin lowers his head slowly and turns back to face the ring where he walks down toward the apron. Justin enters the ring and plays the crowd again to a chorus of loud boos.

Adams: You know I do not like arrogant wrestlers so you know I do not like Justin Smith. With the return of Senor Vinnie to the wrestling ring you know who I am rooting for.

Simone: Yep! You are rooting for Senor Vinnie who has been inactive in wrestling for a significant amount of time. I seriously doubt that Vinnie can take what Justin will be dishing out on him.

Justin: Next to make his way to the ring, he is from Tijuana, Mexico, and he stands in at six feet eight inches and two hundred eighty pounds, please give a great San Diego, California, welcome for SENOR VINNIE!!!

The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of six Mariachi players come out to the arena all playing a guitar. They start to play CANCION DE MARIACHI as all of them start to sing while walking down the rampway. Halfway down the ramp they stop and three of them walk to the left and the other three to the right as they stand face-to face before Senor Vinnie walks out to the arena. Vinnie is sporting expensive sunglasses and a sweater around his neck and carrying an atomizer. He sprays some of his cologne in the air and sniffs it up as if not wanting to smell the foul air around him. Under normal circumstances Bea Barnhart, who also serves as the Manager for Vinnie, would make the entrance with Vinnie but Bea is still recovering from injuries she sustained at Inception. Vinnie arrives at the ring and he steps through the ropes into the ring. Vinnie shoots a glaring look at Justin Smith before he takes up residence in the corner opposite of Justin Smith.

Adams: That, Belinda, is what a positive and confident entrance looks like unlike the abusive entrance of Justin Smith.

Simone: What you consider as a positive entrance I consider to be weak and pathetic. Let the match begin and we shall see how long, or how short a period of time, Senor Vinnie can last before Justin defeats him in this match. And we all know the type of things Bea will be doing during the matches Vinnie will be assigned to. I am so glad Bea is still out due to injuries she sustained in Inception so I will not have the urge to puke.

Adams: Take into account that wrestling in your home area always equates into an advantage. Since Senor Vinnie is from Tijuana, Mexico, which is about 20 miles South of here that gives him the home field advantage.

Simone: Yeah, okay, we can take that item into consideration but only if we take into consideration that Vinnie has been away from Wrestling for around a year so he may be rusty.

Referee Jacob Summers motions for Justin Smith and Senor Vinnie to join him in the center of the ring. When the two arrive with Referee Summers he goes over the rules of this match which is Standard Rules. He further states he will not accept cheating, illegal holds or maneuvers, and if he calls for a break the offending wrestler refuses to break then he is likely to issue a Disqualification upon the offending wrestler. He askes Justin and Vinnie if they fully understand how he will officiate this match and then inform him that they fully understand. Referee Summers then checks both wrestlers to ensure they do not have foreign substances or illegal items on them. When Referee Summers is satisfied that both wrestlers are clean, and that both of them know how he will officiate this match, he tells the two to return to their corners and when they hear the bell from the Timekeeper they are to come out fighting. As soon as Justin Smith and Senor Vinnie return to their corners the Timekeeper rings the bell.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Here we go!

Simone: More like there goes Vinnie back to the dressing room and taking a loss to Justin.

The two big men strut to the center of the ring and we have a stare-down. It appears they want the other to throw the first punch so we have to wait and see what happens. After a short time staring each other down Justin throws a hard punch which lands on the side of Vinnie's head and staggers Vinnie. Looking at Justin we watch as Vinnie shows appreciation for the aggressiveness of Smith by smiling at him and applauding him for the blow. Before Justin can react to to what Vinnie did we see Vinnie land his own hard punch to the side of the head of Justin which stuns him and causes him to take a step back. Referee Summers cautions the two that a closed fist punch is not allowed in the match and he warns them to refrain from closed first punches from here out.

Adams: That is what I was expecting to happen. When you have two big wrestlers who are close in height and weight it is hard to determine what could be classified as an advantage against their opponent.

Simone: Apparently you did not listen to me as I already told you the advantage is with Justin Smith. Justin has been continuously active in wrestling while at the same time Senor Vinnie has been inactive in the sport of wrestling. That is a disadvantage for Vinnie and you need to accept that.

Justin and Vinnie face each other and both are talking smack to the other. Justin takes offense to the continuous insults hurled at him by Vinnie so he lunges at Vinnie and nails him with a Spear. As soon as Vinnie lands on the mat Justin dives on top of him hooks his leg for a pin attempt. Referee Summers drops into position and seeing the shoulders of Vinnie on the mat he starts his count on the attempted pin.

ONE!

TWO!

TH…!!!

Senor Vinnie gets a shoulder up before Referee Jacob Summers can bring his hand down for the three count. Summers quickly raises two fingers up to indicate it was only a two count on the attempted pin. Justin gets off of Vinnie and he starts arguing with Referee Summers but Referee Summers stands on the fact it was only a two count. Justin does not want to accept that excuse from Referee Summers and he continues to argue with the Referee. While that is going on Vinnie has gotten to his feet and he is standing off a distance waiting for an opportunity to come up to go on the offense.

Simone: I was sure Justin was going to get the win there.

Adams: Never expect something to take place as it might not take place as what happened in that attempted pin on Vinnie by Justin.

Vinnie looks surprised that Justin was able to get close on a pin attempt. We can tell by the look on the face of Vinnie that he knows what he will have to do to get the win over Justin. The two men lock up again and they are pushing each other to try to get the advantage of pushing the other into a corner. After several back and forth maneuvering Justin manages to maneuver Vinnie back into a corner. Smith immediately cliches his fist and reaches back as he is about to through a punch. However when Justin does throw the punch Vinnie ducks the punch then he moves out of the corner to be behind Justin. Before Smith can turn around to face Vinnie he is hit with a leaping kick to the side of his head. After landing the kick to Justin Vinnie lands on the mat and as soon as Vinnie gets to his feet he is hit with a Choke Slam by Smith. Justin again drops on top of Vinnie for a pin attempt but Vinnie is able to maneuver out of the attempted pin before Referee Summers could start a count on the pin attempt.

Simone: It does not appear that Vinnie was ready for this match against Justin Smith. Then again both men are around the same size so that may be one of the reasons Smith is doing well against Vinnie.

Adams: That is a good point Belinda. Vinnie has been out of wrestling action for a significant amount of time while Justin has been very active on the Cards. We simply need to sit back and watch and see who ends up with the defining moment in their match where the overwhelming advantage went their way.

The look on the face of Vinnie shows us that he is upset and ready to put an end to this match. Justin and Vinnie charge at each other and they slam together in the center of the ring. Both remain on their feet and they start trading punches and looking for openings to apply a finishing hold on the other to end this match. As the two continue trading blows Justin grabs the arm of Vinnie as Vinnie is throwing a blow at Smith. Justin ducks under the attempt blow and then Smith grabs the arm of Vinnie and he whips Vinnie hard into a corner. Justin quickly follows Vinnie into the corner then he mounts the ring ropes and towers over Vinnie. Before Smith cannot get any decisive blows landed on Vinnie and this allows Vinnie an opening. Vinnie uses his strength to lift Justin into the air and toss him away from him. When Smith lands on the mat he lands hard and twists his ankle and we can visibly see he is in pain from the landing.

Adams: I do believe this is the end of this match for Justin Smith.

Simone: Just more wishful thinking on your part Jason.

Vinnie is quick to grab the injured leg and ankle of Justin and he locks the leg of Justin in an Ankle Lock. Justin Smith yells out from the pain inflicted on his ankle but when Referee Summers asks Justin if he wants to submit he yells out NO so he allows the match to continue. When Vinnie again cinches up on the Ankle Lock and this time when Referee Summers asks Justin if he wants to submit he does so and that causes Referee Summers to call for the bell to end this match.

DING DING DING!

Referee Summers tells Vinnie to release the hold he has on Justin and Vinnie releases the hold and he stands next to Referee Summers.

Justin: Here is the winner of this match, by submission, SENOR VINNIE!!!

Referee Summers raises the hand of Vinnie for the win. When Referee Summers drops the hand of Vinnie we watch Vinnie leave the ring and play the crowd on his return to the backstage area. The camera returns to a shot of the ring where Justin Smith is slowly getting to his feet and he is exiting the ring. Justin informs the Referee he will be capable of returning to the backstage area without assistance and he takes off in that direction.

Adams: This was a good match with two wrestlers around the same size and honestly this match could can gone either way. It appears Vinnie is back and ready to take on whoever they send in his direction.

Simone: Had Justin not had his ankle hurt this match could have easily gone in his favor.

We cut to the backstage area where we see Harper Mason getting ready to watch her partner in crime Cassie Wolfe's Elimination Chamber Qualifier against Alexandra.

Harper: Merecedes won the opener and now we'll see who else gets into the women's chamber.

Harper comments to herself as the twenty year old folds her arms.

Harper: If Cass wins and I get a qualifier match next week and win that? It has the potential to be the High Stakes Rumble all over again.

Harper shakes her head at that memory.

Harper: Hopefully we can get through that without bad blood! And again, that's if we qualify.

Harper adds as the scene fades.

We cut to the backstage area where we see Cassie Wolfe warming up ahead of her match against Alexandra Callaway for a spot in the Elimination Chamber Match, she is soon approached by backstage interviewer Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Cassie, first of all, where's Josh?

The Aussie shakes her head.

Cassie: You know he's been managing Jessie in Wrestleleague since the New Year started right? Well this week they scheduled Jessie's match for tonight and sadly, me and Harp have yet to invent a cloning machine.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: So he's un in Alabama and you're here in San Diego?“

Cassie: Yep, but hey, I didn't have Josh as my manager at first so it's not like this is a new experience for me! Anyway, you want to talk about my match against Alexandra right?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: That's right, earlier tonight we saw Mercedes Vargas beat Crystal Zdunich in the first qualifier for the Elimination Chamber and now you are in the second against Callaway.

Cassie: Not gonna lie, wouldn't have minded another crack at Crystal but Mercedes? She's one of those wrestlers who I'm surprised I haven't wrestled yet, I mean yeah, I joined right before Summer XXXTreme but it's not like I haven't been wrestling for SCW since then, but more importantly? If I want to join her in the chamber I have to beat someone who's almost as old as Mercedes! Besides, this is supposed to be an Elimination Chamber Match, not an Old Woman Nation Chamber Match.

Cassie pauses.

Cassie: That sounded so much better in my head.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yeah, I didn't want to say anything but yeah! Any final words for Alexandra?

Cassie: Yep.

Cassie looks right into the camera.

Cassie: Alexandra, since I joined SCW last year you've been one of my most consistent opponents and while you've beaten me more times than I care to admit? Tonight I break that losing streak and join Mercedes in the chamber! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and wrestlers one move away from using a walker to get to the ring? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess, and Alexandra? Be ready tonight because I'm hungry like the wolfe!

Cassie walks off as the scene fades.

Cameras came back out to the ringside area with an excited crowd letting it be known how they felt. They were all ready for the action to keep going. The opening riff of “Wolf Within“ hits the speakers and once the lyrics kick in Cassie Wolfe emerges from the back excited to start the match, with her hands on her leather jacket's sides the rookie wrestler turns her back to the crowd.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will be an Elimination Chamber qualifying match for the Bombshell World Championship. Introducing at this time. From Greenock, South Australia. Now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. 'The Rebel Princess' CASSIE WOLFE!

When her name is announced Cassie spins around flashing the metal horns sign with her left hand and clapping fans hands with the other, when she reaches the ring Cassie jumps onto the apron before giving her hair a full flip and removing her jacket to give to a stagehand, she then jumps over the top rope and into the ring, rolling to her knees and basking in the moment.

Adams: This is going to be quite the big opportunity for Cassie.

Simone: It sure will, but I'm afraid to say. I think in my opinion she is very outmatched.

Adams: In most cases Cassie is the underdog. She certainly doesn't make things any better on herself when she gets to running her mouth. We shall see how it goes!

The lights go down and “Mine“ by Halestorm starts to play. The arena is filled with Red and lights and fog. The Silhouette of Alexandra can be seen at the top of the ramp. She poses on the top of the ramp and as the beat drops, she starts to make her way down the ramp, towards the ring. Stopping halfway down the ramp, she stops looking out over the crowd, before continuing on. She smirks seeing some of the signs people made, a cocky smirk crosses her face.

Justin: And now introducing her opponent. From Dallas, Texas. 'The Queenslayer' ALEXANDRA CALAWAY!

Finishing her walk down the ramp, she climbs onto the ring apron and up onto the turnbuckle. She slips into the ring and poses on the ropes, leaning forward on the ropes, sometimes talking shit with people in the front row. She backs herself in the corner and locks her eyes on Cassie who stood across the ring from her in her own corner.

Simone: If I had to bet on any woman to go into a chamber it would be Alexandra. Not just because of the experience, but that hardcore nature she thrives in the most. She would do so well there!

Adams: No denying that. We have seen just how far Alexandra is willing to go in the past. Not afraid to hurt anyone she stands in the ring with or even herself for that matter.

Simone: And that is going to put Cassie at a disadvantage as far as I'm concerned. She's all bark and no bite. Alexandra on the other hand is all bite. Sinking those teeth deep and willing to tear your limps off. This is going to be something to see.

DING DING DING!

The match was officially underway with the sound of that bell. Cassie hadn't taken her eyes off of GUY for a second. Clearly not pleased with him being the official of the match. She pushed herself out of the corner to meet Alexandra in the middle of the ring. The two ladies find themselves in a very tight lock up right out the gate. However the experience of Alexandra quickly shined through when she went behind Cassie and put her in a hammerlock. Wrenching on the arm of Cassie and making her shout out in pain. She found herself quickly spinning things around and putting Alexandra in a hammerlock of her own.

Before then transitioning into a side headlock on the legendary Bombshell. Alexandra dropped to one knee as she used her hands to try and push up on the arms of Cassie, but Cassie wasn't having it. Bringing her arms right back down and squeezing on the side of Alexandra's head. Right then Alexandra knew what she needed to do. Both of her arms wrapped around Cassie's waist and she took them both backwards to the ropes. Quickly shooting Cassie off and sending her across the ring to break the hold she had on her.

Adams: Cassie and Alexandra are taking an approach we don't see very often these days.

Simone: Nice to spice things up a little bit. I do not think that Cassie is quite ready for the experience that Alexandra brings.

Adams: Of course she isn't. Alexandra has been around since the nineties. She is a very skilled veteran!

Cassie hit the ropes on the other side and came bouncing right back. Alexandra dropped down right in front of her trying to trip her up. Cassie was smart enough to leap over her and hit the ropes a second time. As Alexandra was getting back up, Cassie came off the ropes, and caught her by surprise with a dropkick right to the chest that sent Alexandra backwards as she fell through the ropes and hit the floor on the outside. Cassie saw this as a perfect situation.

Using her hand to taunt for Alexandra to stand up on the outside. Alexandra could be seen using the ring apron to help pull herself back up. With her feet under her, Cassie turned and hit the ropes. As she was coming back for a dive. GUY found himself getting right in the way of Cassie causing her to stop her momentum. He waved his finger in her face with a 'no no' motion. Instantly Cassie's eyes looked like they were about to come right out of her head in frustration.

Simone: Before you even start in, Jason.

Adams: What is this idiot doing?! He cannot get involved like that!

Simone: Technically! All the action is meant to stay inside the ring. GUY is only enforcing what of the technical rules and avoiding this match from breaking down.

Adams: And how many times a night do we see a match spill to the outside?! You don't see any of our other officials stopping that from happening!

Simone: Well maybe they should be more like Guy! It is in the rules!

Cassie found herself getting right in his face about the situation, but before anything could get out of hand. Alexandra found herself sliding right back in the ring as she caught Cassie by surprise with a double leg take down. She mounted right on top of the young upstart and started to land a series of forearms right to the jaw of Cassie. Stiffing her harder and harder with each blow. Finally, Cassie was able to grab the gear of Alexandra and use it to her advantage rolling her off of her. Both men scrambled to get to their feet to have the upperhand.

Alexandra just a tad bit quicker. As she stopped Cassie dead in her tracks with a huge forearm. The contact could be heard throughout the entire arena as it slumped the rookie to her knees. Alexandra turned and went running towards the ropes. Hitting them with force and came back, but as she got close. Cassie showed off her vertical leap and jumped up landing on Alexandra's shoulders. Taking her down with a swift Hurricanrana. Rolling all the way through and sitting on Alexandra's shoulders for the first pin attempt. GUY dropping down to do his duties.

ONE!

ALEXANDRA KICKS OUT AND ROLLS CASSIE BACKWARDS FOR HER OWN PIN!

ONE!

TWO!

CASSIE KICKS OUT AND ROLLS BACK TO A SITTING POSITION ON ALEXANDRA'S SHOULDERS FOR ANOTHER PIN ATTEMPT!

ONE!

TWO!

ALEXANDRA KICKS OUT AND FORCES CASSIE OFF HER SHOULDERS!

Once again both women were quick to get to their feet. Cassie swung first when they both stood up, but Alexandra countered by ducking under the arm of Cassie. Before the rookie could even register she had missed, Alexandra was taking her down with a backside pin in the middle of the ring. GUY tossed himself back down on the mat to make the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Cassie finds herself quickly standing up despite the hold that Alexandra still had on her. She spun them both all the way around before lowering Alexandra down to the mat and pinning her shoulders to the mat in a very unique pin of her own. GUY again being forced to drop down and make the count.

ONE!

TWO!

ANOTHER KICK OUT FROM ALEXANDRA!

Adams: These two are just trading pin after pin.

Simone: And it's really giving Guy a run for his money here. Poor dude looks out of breath!

Adams: Maybe he should have better cardio and conditioning! It's kind of needed if you're going to be a referee of a match!

Both ladies were back on their feet and had every intention of going right at each other. However a very out of breath GUY found himself stepping between the two of them and holding his hands out. They stopped to watch him double over gasping for air. Clearly they were keeping him on his toes. Yet as he stopped the action to catch his breath. Cassie took the chance to cheap shot Alexandra landing a superkick right over the top of the bent over GUY and catching Alexandra in the match sending her backwards and hitting the mat with force.

GUY, not pleased with Cassie's defying of his orders, went to say something, but she blew right past him. Alexandra had rolled under the bottom rope and was trying to pull herself up on the apron. She was on her knees when Cassie grabbed a handful of her hair with evil intent. However, Alexandra caught her with a shot to the gut. Then reached up and pulled Cassie through the ropes and onto the apron with her. Alexandra landed a stiff forearm that caused Cassie to stumble backwards a bit on the apron. Only for her to come right back with a forearm of her own to stun Alexandra for the time being.

Simone: This is a very dangerous place for both of these ladies to be fighting.

Adams: And it's outside the ring technically. What were you saying earlier about a rule?

Simone: Some days. I wonder if you just don't come to work looking for a fight sometimes!

Adams: Not looking for a fight. Just looking to show the corruption that is Guy's officiating!

Simone: Let it go man. He's doing just fine!

All of the sudden Alexandra could be seen landing a stiff kick right to the gut that caused Cassie to fall back through the ropes. She happened to be caught up with her lower back suspended in the air on the ropes and her head dangling in the air. Alexandra saw the perfect opportunity to use the top rope to spring herself over and land a nasty Guillotine Leg Drop across the chest of Cassie driving her down into the mat back inside the ring. Alexandra quickly gets herself in position to make the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

CASSIE GETS HER SHOULDER UP!

GUY held up two fingers to let Alexandra know it was indeed just a two count. She simply nodded as she got right up to her feet and proceeded to land a well placed stomp right on the chest of Cassie to keep her grounded. Only to turn herself around and turn her attention to the nearest corner. Wasting no time at all she stepped back through the ropes and found herself climbing the top rope. She was starting to straddle herself there when Cassie came out of nowhere and knocked her feet out from under her, hanging herself up on the top rope.

Adams: As much as Cassie complains, whines, and cries week to week. One thing you do have to give her credit for is how smart she is.

Simone: She's got a long way to go before she's ever going to be at a veteran status. But the little things she has learned in a short amount of time is impressive. If only she'd learn to actually rely on that instead of causing drama everywhere she goes.

Adams: In reality Belinda. That's just kind of how these young kids are nowadays. They just have to be the center of attention and if they can't be. They'll cause drama to make sure that they are and to get people talking about them.

Cassie found herself starting to climb the top rope with Alexandra. GUY walking right up to the both of them and telling them to get down. Of course it fell on deaf ears with Cassie intentionally ignoring the orders once again. Hooking Alexandra by her head. Setting up for a SUPL-NO! Alexandra reached down and grabbed the top rope to prevent them from going anywhere.

Using her other arm to land an elbow to the gut of Cassie to double her over. Alexandra then slammed her hand against the throat of Cassie and leaped off taking her with her delivering a diving Chokeslam! Cassie being slammed into the middle of the ring with all her might. That made the crowd pop with excitement with Alexandra dropping to her knees and then making another cover.

ONE!

TWO!

ANOTHER STRONG KICK OUT FROM CASSIE!

Simone: Oh wow! I thought this one was going to be over already!

Adams: I don't blame you for thinking that. That was a crazy looking Chokeslam from the top rope. Good for Alexandra constantly reinventing herself and trying out new things!

Simone: As much as Cassie might've mocked Alexandra for her age. It is indeed true old dogs can learn new tricks. Cassie just found out the hard way!

Alexandra sat on her knees for a second shaking her head. She reached for Cassie's hair and pulled her towards her with her standing to make her way to her feet. With her standing up she placed Cassie's head right between her legs. Signaling for the end. Alexandra grabbed her by the waist and went for “APOCALYP-NOOOO!“ At the very last second Cassie caught the veteran by surprise sending her right over the top of her with a back body drop. Right away Alexandra favored her lower back where she hit the mat but still was quick to get to her feet.

The moment she turned around she was met with a kick from Cassie that doubled her over. Cassie takes Alexandra by the head and then drops right down to the mat delivering a nasty looking DDT that spiked Alexandra right on top of her head. Cassie, not satisfied with it, found herself kipping up to her feet, and ran right towards the ropes. Hitting them with force and came back launching herself in the air to land a Shooting Star Press across the back of Alexandra. Causing the veteran to groan in pain, with Cassie flipping her over to make the cover.

Adams: Running shooting star press!

ONE!

Simone: Is it going to be enough?! Alexandra is one tough cookie!

TWO!

Adams: You're right about that but this could be a huge win for Cassie! Might finally turn her luck around!

BIG KICK OUT FROM ALEXANDRA!

Simone: It might, but as expected Alexandra is shining through with that toughness!

The nasty look Cassie shot GUY when she only got a two count out of the match said everything it needed to. She got right to her feet and reached down grabbing Alexandra by her head pulling her up as well. Hooking the head once again and tossing one of her arms over her shoulder. Cassie then gripped Alexandra's tights and lifted her up in a vertical position in the middle of the ring. All signs pointing towards the “DOWN UNDER DRI-NOOOO!“ It was in the blink of an eye Alexandra managed to use her momentum to land on her feet directly behind Cassie. Hooking around her head with the reversal and driving Cassie down with a Neckbreaker.

Simone: What a counter from Alexandra!

Adams: You know Cassie didn't see that coming at all!

Alexandra sat there for a second. Looking over her shoulder at Cassie rolling around the ring favoring her head and neck a bit. She then rolled to her knees and pushed herself up. Alexandra let it be known what her next move was when she grabbed Cassie's legs and dragged her towards the center of the ring. Within seconds she rolled Cassie onto her stomach with a very tightly locked Sharpshooter right there in the middle. Cassie could be heard screaming in agony with GUY right there in her face. Smirking a little bit while asking if she tapped out.

Adams: This man better not be planning the San Diego screwjob!

Simone: You just assume the worst with him. I think he would rather see her suffer in that submission more than anything!

Inside the ring Alexandra could be seen really wrenching that hold aiming to make Cassie tap out. Cassie punched the mat with her hand trying to fight through the pain. All while GUY continued to taunt her by asking if she tapped out. That's when Cassie forced herself up on her hands and pushed back causing Alexandra to lose her balance and fall forward breaking the hold. Alexandra was quick to push herself back to her feet. Turning around to see a limping Cassie getting up.

She reached out and grabbed a hold of Cassie's head but Cassie landed a shot to the gut to back her up. Cassie turned herself around and landed a running kick right to the shin of Alexandra taking her legs right out from under her. Alexandra smacked her face off the mat harshly thanks to that kick. As she tried to get back up, but she had no sooner than got to her knees. When Cassie rushed in and landed “THE GREENEST WIZARD“ right to the back of Alexandra's head. Cassie quickly rolled her over to make the pin.

ONE!

Simone: That knee just blasted Alexandra in the back of her head!

TWO!

Adams: Alexandra will be lucky if she walks away without a concussion that looked brutal!

ALEXANDRA KICKS OUT WITH FORCE!

Simone: She's still in it though! Tough as nails!

Adams: Cassie is really finding out what she's against here!

Cassie was really starting to show frustration. Slamming her hands against the mat and screaming at GUY to count faster. He simply shook his head and backed away from the two women. Cassie started to get to her feet and as soon as she did. She grabbed Alexandra by her head and put it right between her thighs. It was clear what she was going for as she reached for Alexandra's waist and lifted her up onto her shoulders for “HEIR TO THE WOL-NOOOO!“ Alexandra landed an elbow right to the top of Cassie's head.

It prevented her from landing her finishing move. Alexandra flipped herself backwards off of Cassie's shoulders and landed on her feet. As soon as Cassie went to rush her to try and regain control. Alexandra completely dropped her with a V-TRIGGER right to the jaw. Cassie's eyes rolled in the back of her head as she slumped down to her knees. Alexandra was far from done as she took a step back lining Cassie up before coming forward and landing a Curb Stomp sending Cassie's head into the mat.

Adams: My god! What a sequence of strikes from Alexandra!

Simone: Did you see how her eyes rolled back?! The lights were on, but no one was home when the curb stomp! I can promise you that!

Alexandra found herself dropping down to her knees. Rolling Cassie onto her back and hooked both of her legs deep for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-NOOOOOOO!

CASSIE REACHES UP AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Right away GUY saw where Cassie's hand was and stopped the count. Quickly pointing to Cassie's hand. Alexandra looked and shook her head right away in frustration.

Simone: Great eyesight Guy right there! Making the right call!

Adams: It's about damn time!

Alexandra grabbed a hold of Cassie and rolled her away from the ropes. Before landing, slamming her head into the mat to keep her grounded. Alexandra then stepped over Cassie and stepped through the ropes to put herself on the apron. She used the top rope to pull down and start to bounce off it, but the same exact time. Cassie from where she was grounded kicked her feet up against the ropes and managed to cause Alexandra to lose her balance coming straight down on her head and neck into the ring causing the entire crowd to groan in concern.

Adams: Oh no!

Simone: Alexandra could be seriously hurt here!

Adams: That's the thing about high risk moves. You're taking quite the risk!

Simone: Yes, but you can't tell me Cassie didn't know what she was doing kicking the ropes that Alexandra was trying to balance herself on.

Cassie was getting up to her feet with a bit of a smirk on her lips. Alexandra laid there on the mat kicking her feet against the mat in pain while favoring her neck. Cassie was going in for the kill, but before she could. GUY got involved again. Creating a barrier between Alexandra and Cassie by standing between the two of them. Pointing to the corner to Cassie.

Guy: Back it up! She's hurt!

This wasn't going well at all. Cassie refused to listen as she attempted to blow past him. Right away his hands wrapped around her waist briefly and pushed her back towards the corner. Right away threatening to disqualify her. Showing that he meant serious business as the official of the match.

Simone: Way to go Guy! He's putting a wrestler's health first!

Adams: No! Don't encourage this kind of thing Belinda. Yes, it sucks that Alexandra might be hurt. But this match has big implications! This is the opportunity Cassie needs to capitalize on a win!

Simone: I understand what is on the line. I understand she wants to win, but this is not the way to go about it. Not when someone might be seriously injured!

Adams: A risk you take anytime you get in the ring. All wrestlers know that!

While GUY was trying to keep Cassie back for the sake of Alexandra. The veteran was finding herself trying to get to her feet. Using the ropes to help her do so. Getting up to her knees and leaning against the ropes. Before she could finish standing up VICTORIA LYONS could be seen across the floor and BLASTING Alexandra with the Bombshell Roulette Championship against the side of her head.

Adams: What the hell?! Where did Victoria come from?!

Simone: Why?! Why would she do that?!

Adams: You guess is as good as mine, Belinda! But she may have single handedly alerted this match and of course Guy is too busy being a pain in Cassie's ass to see what happened!

Simone: Don't put the blame on Guy!

Victoria instantly dropped down to the floor to prevent herself from being seen. Alexandra stumbled back out on her feet. Cassie who saw everything found herself blowing right by GUY and grabbed a hold of Alexander spinning her around. Kicking the veteran in the gut to double her over and then hooking her arms to lift her straight up and drive Alexandra into the mat with “WOLFE HUNT“ right in the center of the ring. Alexandra's hand bounced off the mat as she flopped to her back. Cassie making the cover right there in front of GUY. He dropped down to make the count despite not knowing what had taken place behind his back.

Simone: Please! Please don't let this end like this!

ONE!

Adams: Alexandra has fought hard all night! She's got one more kick out in her. I just know it!

TWO!

Simone: Come on Alexandra! Come on!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Adams: Wowwwwwwww!

Simone: Cassie is going to the chamber?! We are living in an alternate universe! What is going on?!

Adams: This was not on my bingo card. Cassie saw exactly what happened and used it to her advantage!

Cassie found herself rolling off of Alexandra right away. Slamming her hands against the mat excitement before forcing herself to stand up. Instantly demanding that GUY raise her hand in victory. He just scoffed at her before dropping down and rolling out of the ring to leave her on her own. There was a massive mixed reaction from the fans in attendance with Cassie taking a small victory lap around the ring to rub it in just a little more.

Justin: Here is your winner and heading to the Bombshell World Championship Elimination Chamber, CAAAASSSSIIIIEEEEE WOOOOLLLFFEEEEE!

That mixed reaction still continued with Cassie taking time to pose in the corner. Outside the ring Victoria could be seen starting to stand up on her feet. A wicked smirk crossing her lips while holding the Bombshell Roulette Championship up in the air. Inside the ring Alexandra was lying there on her elbows glaring at Victoria starting to realize what had just taken place. The sheer hatred that consumed her expression at that point was a telling sign. Victoria just continued to smirk while backing up.

Adams: I can tell you right now there is not a chance that Alexandra lets this one slide.

Simone: Nor should she! Alexandra could be competing for the Bombshell Championship in a few weeks and that chance was robbed from her.

Adams: I hope that Victoria knows what she's doing. Cause if I was a betting man. I am willing to bet Alexandra is going to eye for eye. She cost her a championship match and an elimination chamber spot. Alexandra might be taking that title off Victoria's hands!

Simone: I am going to be looking forward to that!

Cameras got one final shot of Cassie in the ring with her arms raised in excitement for qualifying for one of the most brutal matches in the history of professional wrestling. It was all for a few seconds before the cameras cut to the backstage area to catch some more of the action.

Simone: What a night we've had so far!

Adams: It sure has. And we still have a lot to come. Up next...

The house lights flicker as the temperature seems to drop.

Simone: Is it getting colder in here?

Adams: Never mind that, did someone forget to pay the light bill?

Simone: I don't think so, but the lights are still flickering.

The lights go out as a heavy mist starts to roll across the stage. The tron above the stage comes to life with scenes of abandoned places and creepy cemeteries. The scene soon changes to Egypt and what appears to be a tomb with people bowing down to someone laying on a stone altar. The eyes shoot open as “Alpha and Omega“ by SWARM begins to play over the loud speaker, as deep blue and golden lights go over the crowd. Two lines of people dressed in long robes appear with banners in their hands, and line either side of the ramp way.

Adams: What in the hell is going on?

Simone: I'm not sure... But it could be someone new...

Adams: Wait a minute... Do you think it could be...

Out of the floor a shimmering sarcophagi appears. The door is moved by a man wearing what appear to be a human skull as a mask, revealing the Goddess of Death Necra Octavian Kane herself. The crowd erupts as Necra steps out of the sarcophagi and starts to walk down the ramp way wearing a long black and silver robe carrying the crook and flail in her hands.

Simone: IT'S NECRA!!! SHE'S BACK!

Adams: HOLY SHIT! Listen to that crowd!

She makes her way down the rampway with the rather large man walking in front of her. As they pass by the people on the ramp way turn and walk back toward the back. They soon reach the ring, and he climbs up the side of the ring and holds open the ropes as she walks up the stairs and slips through. She stands in the middle of the ring, and raises her arms, as lightning hits each of the ring posts before they erupt into blue flames. She hands the crook and flail to her man on the outside as she calls for a mic. Necra paces the ring as she looks up at the crowd around her as she seems to take it all in.

Necra: It feels so good to be back here in Nevada! Of course most of you know who I am but to those that don't know, I am the Goddess of the Dead Necra Octavian Kane. I am in the hall of fame here, but I have been thinking a lot about something that has been in the back of my mind since that night...

Simone: Is she saying what I think she is?

Adams: I think so...

Necra smirks as she walks around the ring.

Necra: And from what I have seen here tonight, I think it's time that some of you come to realize what true fear is. No one you are worthy of facing off against for the titles that I once carried. I brought honor and prestige to ALL of them and gave reason to fear what lurked in the shadows here. I think I will...

The crowd erupts as she smirks as she leans against the ropes.

Necra: I think I'm going to come back for one more run... And show the rest of the locker room why I am in the hall of fame, and why I was a champion in my time. I'm not going to back down from anyone that is willing to stand against me, or whoever they throw at me for a sacrifice! I am the Goddess of the Dead, The Queen of Death, The Lady in Black, The Reaper of Souls, The Angel of Death, The Alpha and the Omega, The Child of Heaven and Hell. Fear me; for when you look upon me you will see your end.

She laughs as the lights start to flicker off and on once again before going out. When they come back up Necra and the large man are both gone.

Simone: She's back!

Adams: I still can't believe it!

Simone: I don't think anyone else can either. We'll be back after this.

With the cameras cutting away from the ringside area. They found themselves in the parking garage of the Frontwave Arena. Slowly rolling to a stop was a 2025 Aston Martin Vantage in all black and chrome. The engine purred like a beauty for a few seconds before it was shut off. The camera crew taking the cameras around the front of the car to the driver's side door that was being pushed open. Stepping out within a matter of seconds was a smirking Kevin Carter. That brand new piece of hardware known as the Internet Championship in his hand.

Kevin Carter: Ahhh. It sure does feel good to be me.

That smirk of his only seemed to grow a little more. He reached for the driver's side door and slammed it shut. With the door shut, he took his first step like he was going to head into the arena but he didn't get far. Before a dark haired woman completely blindsided him by rushing him with a pen and paper in hand. An almost crazed look in her eyes.

Woman: Oh my god! Oh my god! It's really you! Dreams really do come true!

Kevin Carter: Six feet back lady. I don't need you breathing the same air as me.

Woman: I need to breathe the same air as you!

Kevin Carter: Psychopath...

The arch in his eyebrow said it all. He was very uneasy by this woman. Might've been smaller in statue to him, but comments like that would make anyone feel uneasy.

Woman: Please! Please sign me your autograph! Make it out to Lilith!

Kevin Carter: I don't do autographs.

Lilith: No, Please. You don't understand how badly I need this! I need it! I need it!

Kevin Carter: No, what you need is therapy!

Using his right hand he just strong armed the smaller woman out of his way. Walking right past her and starting to head for the arena doors. The deranged look in her eye seemed to glow for the split second she could be seen behind him. All until he made his way through those doors and they shut behind him. That scowling expression of his finding the cameras.

Kevin Carter: See that's the type of shit I've had to deal with the last two weeks.

His eyes rolled for a brief moment.

Kevin Carter: People coming up to me in airports, bathrooms, and out eating dinner. Wanting to shake my hand. Wanting autographs. Wanting to tell me how they knew I'd be champion again some day. Acting as if they weren't the same motherfuckers that were against me this entire time. Just goes to show how fickle pro wrestling and pro wrestling fans are.

Of course that disgusted expression remained on his face while he shook his head from side to side. His steps down the hall continued.

Kevin Carter: I will never forget how you people treated me twelve years ago. I will never forget how you people treated me when I came back. Treated me that way all the way up until I got this. And now some of you want to jump on the bandwagon. Now you want to be fans of the 'bad guy' because it's 'cool' to do. Each and every single one of you can go fuck yourselves. I do not want your support. I do not need your support. You can hop off this bandwagon. Crash and burn for all I care!

His wicked smirk started to come back over his expression. At that point the fans could be heard boo0ing all the way from their seats. The very thing that he considered to be music to his ears. Finding himself stopping right outside of a locker room door with his name on it. His expression narrowed a bit again.

Kevin Carter: This championship. This reign of terror that's beginning. This run is about to be historic and it's going to be all for me. No one else. And it just so happens the first stop lands me in the ring with a so-called Bulldog. By the time I'm done abusing that fat old fuck. I'm going to make Michael Vick look like he should be a spokesperson for Peta. You deserve every bit of abuse that's coming your way, Bill.

Flashing that wicked grin one last time towards the cameras. Before gripping a hold of the locker room door and yanking it open to let himself inside. Once it closed shut, it left the cameras with no other choice but to head out elsewhere.

Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall… and is a Elimination Chamber qualification match. Introducing first… hailing from Queensland, Australia… Aiden Reynolds.

The opening riff of Parkway Drive's “Vice grip“ hits. The high speed gives way to Aiden Reynolds stepping out onto the stage, a fist in the air and a black leather jacket with “The Aussie Wolf“ spray painted on the back. He moves his way down to the ring and as the refrain of the song hits he throws his arms out to the side as he and the crowd both chant.

“YEAAAH YEAH YEAH“

He leaps onto the apron and takes a few steps backwards before sling shoting himself into the ring and spinning around, he then stops and drops to one knee slamming his fist into the mat

Justin: and his opponent…hailing from Baltimore, Maryland… Eddie Lyons…

As Clouds by NF begins A fog fills the stage area, as Eddie Lyons appears in the middle, hoodie up, and arms folded. He stands there looking down at the ring for a few moments. Shooting a fist into the air, Eddie pulls his hoodie down, and makes his way down the ramp, tagging the hands of a few fans along the way before climbing the stairs into the ring. Eddie extends his arms to both sides then drops to a knee, and punches the mat, he then moves to his corner to await the start of the match.

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

DING DING DING!

Both men stare at each other across the ring, as they acknowledge each other with a nod of respect before moving in and Lyons fires in the first forearm shot to Reynolds and Reynolds returns the favour and fire in one of his own and they continue to trade blow after blow after blow before they both grab each other and fire in rapid punches before Reynolds gets the upper hand and fires in forearm shots once more and drives him backwards towards the corner before stopping for a moment.

Simone: The bell rings and both show some respect before moving in and right away they are brawling.

Adams: Well there is a lot on the line and both want title shots.

That moment allows Lyons an opening and he fires in forearm shots and keeps going and drives Reynolds back and into another corner, where delivers one more forearm shot before Reynolds gives Lyons a shove and then fires in forearm shots back and drives Lyons back. Lyons suddenly drops and grabs Reynolds legs and drops him and tackles him and then mounts him and proceeds to throw in some punches.

Adams: Reynolds briefly gets the upper hand as he drives Lyons backwards, as Reynolds then takes a moment, which gives Lyons an opening and he fires in his own shots, but Reynolds shoves him back and fires in shots of his own before Lyons tackles Reynolds to the mat, where he unleashes punches.

Lyons stops and adjusts his position and grabs Reynolds arm and locks in an arm bar, but Reynolds quickly sits up and brings his body up and towards Lyons to reduce the strain before grabbing at Lyons' hand, he moves to his feet as he seeks a way out of the move, but Lyons keeps hold of his hand and Reynolds then begins to catch Lyons head with a couple of boots, which forces Lyons to release and Reynolds pulls his arm free and staggers away as he holds his arm, while Lyons crawls away as reels from the boot shots.

Simone: Lyons then locks in an armbar. But Reynolds sits up and adjust his position to reduce the pressure, as he then makes his way to his feet and then delivers a couple of boot shots to Lyons head, which forces him to release.

He slowly climbs to his feet, while Reynolds drops to a knee holding his arm, Lyons then charges at Reynolds, but Reynolds takes a step back before directing Lyons over the top rope to the outside. Lyons quickly gets back to his feet and leaps back onto the apron and goes to climb through the ropes, but Reynolds moves in and grabs him but Lyons grabs Reynolds arm and then leaps up and wraps his legs around his arm and pulls on it.

Adams: Both take a moment to recover, as Lyons makes his way to his feet and charges at Reynolds, but Reynolds sends Lyons over the top rope to the outside.

Simone: Lyons turns and leaps back onto the ropes and they both struggle on the apron before Lyons locks in another arm back using the ropes as leverage.

Reynolds grimaces in pain, as the ref moves in and demands Lyons releases, which he doesn't and then ref begins a count and gets to three and Lyons releases and Reynolds drops to the mat holding his arm, while Lyons stays on the apron. He slowly moves back to his feet, where he leans down and grabs Reynolds and pulls him up and grabs him around the neck. But Reynolds fires in an elbow into Lyons stomach before stepping forward and then hits a leaping enziguri, which catches him, and Lyons drop to the apron before sliding off it as he looks for a recovery.

Adams: Lyons has to release, which Reynolds then drops to a knee as he reels from the arm bar. As Reynolds rises up, Lyons tries to capitalize but Reynolds fires in an elbow shot before leaping up and hits enziguri.

Simone: Impressive ability there.

Reynolds makes his way back to his feet and as he prepares himself to move forward, Lyons grabs a foot and pulls, which sends Reynolds down to the mat and Lyons drags Reynolds out of the ring. On the outside of the ring, Lyons spins Reynolds around and grabs his hand and then Irish whips towards and into the barriers, where he collides with it and then drops down, as he grimaces in pain. Lyons approaches Reynolds and grabs him and pulls him up, where he drives his knee into Reynolds torso a couple of times before grabbing his hand and Irish whips him again and again, he crashes into the barriers and drops to the mat again.

Adams: Lyons is on the floor again, as Reynolds climbs back to his feet but before he can do anything Lyons' grabs Reynolds foot and drags him down and out of the ring.

Simone: Lyons zero's in on Reynolds arm and sends him into the guard barriers. Reynolds reels from it and crawls away, but Lyons moves after Reynolds and grabs him again and pulls him up and sends him into the barriers.

Adams: Reynolds is in trouble here.

The ref looks down at both men and shouts at them to bring the action back into the ring, but neither seem to listen, as he climbs out of the ring to make a further point as he checks on Reynolds who shrugs him off.

Reynolds crawls away before grabbing the barriers and pulls himself up to his feet, where he stumbles away as Lyons watches him and follows, as Reynolds tries to block Lyons way with the set of the ring steps. Reynolds takes a few more steps, as Lyons climbs the steps before leaps off towards Reynolds and Reynolds turns and catches Lyons with a boot to the stomach.

Simone: Indeed. As Reynolds continues to try and avoid Lyons, as he even tries to slow Lyons down, which works in a way, as Lyons leaps at Reynolds but Reynolds surprises Lyons with a boot to the stomach.

The ref demands the action to be brought back into the ring before climbing back into the ring himself and begins a count…

ONE!

TWO!

Lyons doubles over as Reynolds leaps up with a standing dropkick and Lyons stumbles backwards up against the barriers. Reynolds slowly climbs to his feet as he approaches Lyons, where he grabs his hand and drags him away from the barriers and into a short arm clothesline.

Adams: This gives Reynolds the opening his needs and he hits a standing dropkick. He then hits a short arm clothesline.

THREE!

FOUR!

Reynolds keeps hold of Lyons hand and drags him up of the mat and Irish whips him into the ring apron, as Lyons drops to a knee as Reynolds shakes his arm.

FIVE!

SIX!

Simone: Lyons is send into the ring apron, as Reynolds continues to shake off the pain.

Reynolds pulls Lyons up once more and rolls him back into the ring, where he climbs onto the apron and climbs back into the ring, where he moves to Lyons and drops down and catches him with an elbow drop before hooking a leg and goes for a pin…

ONE!

TWO!

Th…kickout!

Adams: Reynolds throw Lyons back into the ring and he hits an elbow drop and then goes for a cover, but Lyons kicks out.

Lyons kicks out, as Reynolds shakes his head as he climbs to his feet, where he grabs Lyons and drags him up and then Irish whips him across the ring and Lyons bounces off the ropes and right into a AA spinebuster. Lyons arches his back, as Reynolds climbs to his feet and grabs Lyons and pulls him up and then proceeds to set him up for a snap suplex but is blocked by Lyons. Reynolds tries again… blocked and Lyons grabs Reynolds gear and hits a snap suplex of his own.

Simone: Lyons kicks out…as Reynolds shake his head before making his way to his feet, where he continues his attack on Lyons with spinebuster. He then tries for a snap suplex, but it's blocked and Lyons counters and hits one of his own.

Lyons stays down, as Reynolds rolls away holding his own back as the ref moves in and check on both before backing away. Lyons rolls onto his hands and knees and crawls to the ropes, as Reynolds also rolls himself onto his front and moves to the ropes as well. They both grab the ropes and pulls themselves up as they keep a grip on the ropes as they take a moment to recover.

Adams: Both stay down for a moment… but soon make their way to their feet and move to the centre of the ring.

They then release the ropes and move to the centre of the ring as both grimace from pain, as they stare each other down before they lock up in the centre of the ring, where they jockey for position before Lyons breaks and drives a knee into Reynolds stomach. Reynolds doubles over and Lyons kicks Reynolds arm before driving his knee up into his face.

Simone: They lock up for the firs time, where they jockey before Lyons breaks and drives a knee into Reynolds stomach before following up with a kick to the arm and then face.

Reynolds stumbles backwards and drops to a knee and Lyons takes a few steps backwards and then charges in as he looks for a running knee but Reynolds dodges, which makes Lyons unbalances and Reynolds grabs Lyons drags him down and rolls him into a pin…

Adams: Reynolds is rocked and Lyons looks for a running knee, but Reynolds quickly shakes off the knee and dodges before grabbing Lyons and rolls him up into a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Lyons kicks out, as Reynolds makes his way to his feet and grabs Lyons, but Lyons grabs him and a handful of tights and rolls him up…

Simone: Lyons kicks out, but as Reynolds makes his way to his feet and goes to grab Lyons, Lyons grabs Reynolds and some tights and rolls him up.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Reynolds kicks out too late, as Lyons quickly rolls from the ring to dodge any ramifications.

Adams: Lyons advances but not in the cleanest of manners.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall… Eddie Lyons.

Lyons makes his way to his feet, Reynolds looks around and tries to make a point to the ref about his tights but the ref says he didn't see it as Lyons music hits over the p.a, as Lyons raises an arm in victory.

Standing out the front of Christian Underwoods office is Pussy Willow.

Pussy Willow: And we are here waiting to see if we can get a word with Christian Underwood about the SCW world championship and what is going to happen going forward

The door opens and Alex Jones steps out of the office with a smirk, as he tries to move down the hallways he is stopped as Pussy yells out.

Pussy Willow: Alex! Alex wait!.....Alex can you tell us what happened at Inception?....why did you get yourself disqualified?

Alex keeps walking, Pussy keeps following.

Pussy Willow: And what is your relationship with Aaron Asphyxia?

Alex sighs heavily and stops before turning around putting his hand up.

Alex Jones: Pussy, sometimes you backstage interviewers need to learn when to leave things well enough alone. But since you decided to ask and come up to me with this stupid crap I guess I'll be nice and give you a little insight into what's going on here. I wasn't the one who brought the chair in. I wasn't the one who introduced the whole concept. So yes, I got frustrated and I got myself disqualified. but there is no relationship between myself and Aaron. She was an employee of the gym that I run and own. You know the one, the one that has former world champions all over the place? She was an employee there. And yes she is Finn Whelan's former wife.

Adams: Awkward…

Alex shakes his head and sighs.

Simone: A little bit yeah…yeesh

Pussy Willow: So with Finn beating you are your title aspirations finished?

Alex reaches forward and takes the mic out of Pussys hands shaking his head.

Alex Jones: Finn Whelan did not beat me. I got disqualified because I got frustrated. He didn't beat me. He didn't pin me, he didn't knock me out, he didn't make me submit. He is still the champion because I made a mistake. And I can tell you this right now, Aaron needs to stay out of my business. She has an issue with Kayla and wants to screw with her ex-husband. That's fine. But she's not going to screw up my opportunity at becoming a three time world champion. and you can trust me on that.

Adams: Alex is pissed

Alex hands the microphone back to pussy and turns walking down the hallway telling people to get out of the way as he stomps off angrily..

The camera shot turns to the staging area where wrestlers wait for their call to make their entrance for their match. The camera person is focused on Bill Barnhart as he waits to make his entrance for the Internet Championship against Kevin Carter.

Bill: Well, Kevin, we don't have long to wait for our match to start. I hope you are ready for our match as I am damn sure ready for our match. Although I admire you for having defeated Helluva Bottom Carter and now you are the Internet Champion but your reign as Internet Champion will end with our match as I am going to defeat you.

A backstage staff member walks up to inform Bill that his entrance will be in a few minutes.

Bill: There you go Kevin. Just a few more minutes and we get into the ring and fight it out. Sorry that I have to be the person to inform you that you are going to lose the match, and the Internet Championship, to me tonight. I cannot change destiny so please accept your loss and move on.

The backstage staff member lets Bill know he has about one minute before he will make his entrance.

Bill: Soon we both step into the ring with you as the defending Internet Champion and me as the challenger for the Internet Championship. When the match ends my hand will be raised in victory and the Internet Championship belt will be handed to me as the newly crowned Internet Champion.

The camera shot cuts to the ring where the introductions of Bill and Kevin are being introduced.

The cameras were finding themselves back at the ringside area. It was time for the next scheduled contest of the night. It just so happened that the San Diego crowd was in for a real treat with the Internet Championship about to be defended. About then “Raise Your Glass“ by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and will be for the SCW Internet Championship. Introducing first at this time the challenger. All the way from Lawerenceville, Georgia. Weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds. He is the 'Bulldog' BILL BARNHART!

When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.

Simone: Tonight, I don't think I can be as unbiased as I am meant to be. Every single bit of me is rooting for Bill to become the new Internet Champion.

Adams: You might have to answer to the bosses for that one. Although, I know I'm not a fan of Kevin parading around here with the championship. However, Bill has a big challenge in front of him and after that massive setback loss to Justin at Inception. He really has to be on his A game tonight to turn it all around.

Simone: Oh, that loss means nothing. Bill will always be a viable threat to any championship. Kevin is in for a world of hurt tonight!

The venue was filled with an excited crowd. Lots and lots of cheers. As well as chatter could be heard throughout as they were all patiently awaiting the next bit of action to take place. There was a sudden dim of the venue lights. Only to be replaced with the flashes of green and white strobe lights. All while the opening to “The Devil In I“ by SlipKnot began to play over the speaker system. Those first couple of notes had the crowd's tune changing. Boos ringing out heavily and for no other reason than they were not the least bit pleased with who was about to make their way out.

Only a few seconds had passed before the camera angle had changed just in time to see the curtain being pushed aside and the man of the hour stepping through said curtain. In an all black zip up hoodie with the hood up was none other than the Entity of Sin City Wrestling, Kevin Carter. Making sure to showcase the Internet Championship proudly over his shoulder. He stood there at the top of the makeshift ramp with a glare in his eyes while glaring out at the booing fans. His facial expressions said it all. Feeling a certain amount of disgust in having to be before them, but he just ignored their boos as he began to make his journey down to the ring.

Justin: And now making his way to the ring. From the most vile part of Los Angeles, California. Weighing in at two hundred and eighteen pounds. He is the reigning and defending SCW Internet Champion. A true scumbag. The Entity of Sin City Wrestling, KEVIN CARTER!

By the time the proper introduction had come to an end from Justin, he had reached the ringside area. A short little jog Kevin leaped onto the ring apron planting his right knee pad into the mat and using the ropes to pull himself up to a vertical basis on the ring apron. The boos seemed to have only gotten louder in those few moments he made his way down to the ring. As he stood there the man proceeded to lift the championship off his shoulder with his left hand and hold it into the air. While with his right hand he held a single finger in the air. As one would have expected, it didn't do Kevin any favors. Not by a long shot.

All types of comments were starting to be hurled in his direction along with those boos. Kevin smirked with hatred as he lowered the championship back down. Holding it in his left hand and leaned down to grab the top rope to swing his leg over the middle rope. Ducking down under the top rope to finish climbing into the ring. In a true prick fashion, he took what appeared to be a small 'victory' lap around the ring while holding that championship back up over his head. The victory lap culminated in him stopping in the middle of the ring. Dropping to his knees and flipping his hood back to his jacket and then taking the Internet Championship lying it down on the mat in front of him. Kevin then tossed his arms out at his side. The boos continued to ring in from the disapproving crowd as Kevin smirked a little more. Undoing his jacket, picked up the championship, and got back to his feet. He handed the championship over to Drew while backing into his corner. As he finished taking his jacket off and tossing it to the ringside floor.

Adams: The arrogance this man oozes with is just disgusting. You can't help but root for him to get punched in the face.

Simone: We saw him get punched in the face a lot at Inception, but the coward was able to weasel his way out of a situation and win once again. We cannot live in an era where Kevin is a champion. It has to end tonight!

Adams: If we happen to see Kevin lose. I am not going to be heartbroken by it, but at the same time. I am not going to hold my breath. He always finds a way.

DING DING DING!

As soon as the bell sounded the two men found themselves coming out of their respective corners. Circling around each other a little bit to get a feel for each other. Bill taking the first step forward and holding his hand up trying to draw Carter in for a test of strength. It was met with an instant scowl from Carter. Looking as if it was the most offensive thing to him. Yet, he stepped up and extended his hand. The two men locked knuckles, but as soon as they did. Carter got a cheap shot in with stomping right on the foot of Bill and then pulling him in for a side headlock.

Simone: Imagine that! Dirty tactic to start the match off!

Adams: This is typical behavior from this coward. Kevin is never going to be a man that relies on his true ability.

Simone: Cutting every corner he can and then wonders why no one takes him seriously.

Carter had quite the smirk on his face as he squeezed hard around the head on Bill. All of the sudden Bill wrapped his arms around the waist of Carter and lifted him straight up into the air. Before shoving him away from him. Carter flew through the air but managed to land on his feet. As soon as he turned around though Bill just bulldozed him with a huge shoulder check that put him on his backside. Carter looked up with disgust as Bill went to reach and grab a hold of him.

Right away Carter rolled himself out of the ring to keep clear of Bill. As soon as he was out of the ring Drew was starting to call for him to get back in the ring, but the Internet Champion was having none of it. Waving his hands at Drew and then turning his back to the official. Starting to walk around the ring heading for the entrance way. Seemingly making it clear, he had no further intentions of competing. Getting quite the negative response from the San Diego crowd.

Adams: Is he walking out on this match?!

Simone: It sure looks like it. Coward's way of making sure he keeps the championship!

Adams: The man is that bothered by Bill Barnhart? Talking all that trash this week, but doesn't have any intentions of backing it up!

Carter was already halfway up the ramp when Bill found himself dropping down and rolling out of the ring. Drew was now shouting at him to get back in the ring, but Bill was focused hard on the champion. Catching Carter in a few seconds and landing a forearm shot right to the back of the neck dropping Carter down to one of his knees. Bill then grabbed a hold of Carter by his throat and shoulder before BEIL TOSSING him back towards the ring. Carter's body hit the ramp hard and rolled to the end of it. Drew finally had enough of the fighting on the outside of the ring and his authority being ignored. He began that ten count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Carter got to his hands and knees. Crawling himself towards the ring a little bit, before Bill caught up to him again. He reached down and grabbed a hold of the Internet Champion by his jet black hair. Yanking him up to his feet and then slamming that massive hand around his throat. Carter's eyes got real wide as Bill then lifted him up by his throat and tights delivering a nasty CHOKESLAM to the Internet Champion right there on the apron.

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

Bill found himself pushing Carter right back into the ring from under the bottom rope. Leading to Carter rolling towards the center of the ring where he stayed. Bill followed up with rolling himself back into the ring and finding himself making the cover on Carter. Drew leaping down to the mat in order to make the count.

ONE!

KICK OUT FROM CARTER!

Simone: By no means am I a Kevin Carter fan, but I have to admit. Kicking out a chokeslam that you took to the hardest part of the ring is no joke.

Adams: Not just kicking out, but kicking out at one?

Simone: Kind of saying a lot about the man's talent. Yet, as mentioned earlier. He doesn't rely on it most of the time. It's just wasted potential and all his own fault.

Bill glared at Carter for a second, but nevertheless knew he had to stay in control. He grabbed a hold of Carter by his wrist and started to pull him up to his feet. With both of them standing up Carter suddenly slapped the hand of Bill off his wrist and then completely clobbered the man with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK t the side of the head. It stumbled Bill for a second as Carter stepped forward and landed a well placed kick to the gut. It forced Bill to double over. Right then Carter grabbed a hold of his head and neck. Looking like he was going for a Suplex, but he couldn't lift the man up.

Bill blocked it as he swung himself back down. Pulled free and then hit a massive HEADBUTT to Carter. It sent the Internet Champion stumbling all the way back into the corner. Bill lined up the champion and then came rushing in with all his might. Just as he got close Carter stepped forward and caught Bill halting his momentum. All for a second before Carter used it against him, taking Bill over his head and slamming him into the corner with an EXPLODER SUPLEX that had Bill landing on his neck. Carter dropped down to his knees rolling Bill onto his back and making the cover.

Adams: What an exploder suplex into the corner!

Simone: Bill is no easy man to get off his feet like that!

ONE!

TWO!

KICK OUT FROM BILL!

Simone: But it's going to take a whole lot more than that to keep Bill down.

Adams: Lots of people might not consider Bill the smartest man on our roster, but there's no denying his toughness and sometimes that means more than the intelligence one has.

Carter wasted no time at all as he mounted Bill the moment he was able to kick out. Lining his elbow right up with Bill's eyebrow and started to land stiff strikes from that elbow. Drew shouting at Carter over the strikes, but it didn't seem to make a difference. On the fourth elbow strike Drew finally inserted himself and shoved Carter off of the challenger. By then it was too late the damage had been done. That final strike of the elbow managed to split Bill wide open on the eyebrow. As he rolled over blood just gushed onto the mat with the cameras getting a shot at that deep cut over the eyebrow.

Adams: That looks nasty!

Simone: Drew did the right thing in breaking that up. Kevin knew what the hell he was doing there. That should be a disqualification if you ask me!

Adams: This is kind of the nature of the game Belinda. Not saying that Kevin wasn't playing dirty, because he was. But I don't know if it's grounds for a DQ.

Simone: Well, good thing we're allowed to have different opinions then huh Jason?

Carter had gotten to his feet and was smirking from ear to ear as he looked down at the bleeding Bill. The challenger was trying to get to his feet by pushing to his hands and knees. Right away Carter landed a stiff kick right to the man's ribs to keep him down. Bill fell right down to his stomach with Carter then stepping over him and grabbing a hold of his hair yanking him up by it. Showing off that bloody expression of Bill's while looking right at the cameras.
