Miles: Kevin.

He let the name hang there like smoke.

Miles: I haven't forgotten. Not a single bloody word. You remember what you said to Carter — Helluva Bottom Carter — when you ripped that Internet Championship out of his hands? I do. Because I watched it from the sidelines, helpless, while you tried to tear down one of the best people I've ever known with your venom.

He took a slow breath through his nose, letting the weight of the moment settle.

Miles: I made Carter a promise. That I wouldn't go after that prick Alex Jones yet... but you?

His expression darkened, the light no longer reflecting off gold but off iron resolve.

Miles: You're fair game.

The crowd came alive again, sensing the intensity.

Miles: You've had a stranglehold on that championship since the day you won it — and I'll give you this, mate, you've held on. But don't think for a second that it makes you untouchable.

A slight smirk returned to his face.

Miles: Because we've done this dance before, haven't we? Remember that? Before you won the gold. Before the spotlight started kissing your boots. You and me — one-on-one — and I beat you.

His finger pointed downward to the canvas beneath him.

Miles: Right in the middle of this very ring.

A thunderous cheer erupted from the Amsterdam crowd.

Miles: So here's your warning. I don't care how much gold you've got. I don't care how many fancy suits you wear or how many smug interviews you give. Because when we step into that ring in Paris... I'm not coming for conversation.

His voice dropped lower, edged with steel.

Miles: I'm going to take that championship. For Carter. For myself. And for every single person you disrespected on your way to the top.

Miles stepped back to the ropes, resting his free arm across the top rope as he stared directly down the camera lens, blue eyes like frozen fire.

Miles: So shine it up, Kev. Hold it close. Whisper your sweet nothings to it. Because at Into the Void, I take back what should've never been yours to begin with.

He dropped the mic with a sharp clack, his music kicking back in as the fans roared, the lights flaring in brilliant blue and gold once more. Miles Kasey stood tall in the center of the ring — the storm gathering behind his calm. And in Paris, it would break.

Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall… and is a semi final match for the Blast from the past tournament. Introducing first…

The soft twang of an electric guitar begins to play as "She's Country" blasts out over the arena. A familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show dressed in white and gold hotpants, matching halter, short jacket and a pair of lace up wrestling boots that look like cowboy boots where she stops and looks over the crowds who begin to chant her name as Justin brings the microphone to his lips.

Justin: Introducing from Houston Texas, she has been known as SCW's sweetheart, she is Sam Marlowe!

Sam raises her arms as she is introduced. Heading to the ring, she plays to the fans, slapping hands and posing with others. Finally she climbs the stairs to the ring apron and lays herself across the middle rope and blows a kiss to the camera and then rolls inside the ring. Walking towards the corner, she unzips her short jacket and pulls it off. Handing it to ringside staff, she turns and begins stretching out for the match as she watches her opponent.

Justin: and her ooppnent… hailing from New York City, New York…. Laura Phoenix…

Static fills the speakers as the A-Flat cord streams through and Rev Theory's "Hell Yeah" begins to blare as the hypnotic laugh of Rich Luzzi echoes throughout the arena and Laura Phoenix's video entrance illuminates the Smarkstron. When the chorus plays the lights raise and Phoenix runs out on stage to the delight of the fans. She runs to the opposite side of the stage before stopping at the center and raising her fist high in the air and a large amount of pyro goes off around her. She takes off down the ramp and slides into the ring and running to the closest corner and once again raises her fist high in the air. She repeats this at the other three corners as her music dies out and she stands in the middle of the ring and waits for the match to begin.

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

DING DING DING!

Marlowe and Pheonix move in and shake hands before backing off and circling the ring before slowly moving in, where they lock up in the centre of the ring, where they jockey for position before Marlowe pushes Phoenix into a corner as the ref quickly moves in and gets to one before Marlowe breaks the lock up and backs away, as Phoenix takes a moment before stepping away from the corner, as they circle the ring once more.

Simone: They shake hands in a show of respect before they circle and then lock up, which Marlowe quickly pushes Phoenix into the corner, but is forced to release and back off, as they circle the ring once more.

They move back in and lock up in the centre of the ring once more, where they jockey for position before Phoenix momentarily overpowers Marlowe and pushes her into a corner and keeps the lock up in place, as once more the ref moves in and begins to count and gets to three before Phoenix releases and backs off and continue to back off to allow Marlowe out from the corner.

Adams: Lock up again and jockey, before Phoenix overpowers Marlowe and pushes her into the corner and the ref moves in and forces Phoenix to back off and she doesn.

Phoenix tells Marlowe to come at her and she moves in and they lock up once again, but this time Phoenix breaks and grabs Marlowe into a headlock, where she then drops to a knee and drags Marlowe down to the mat with the headlock still in place, but Marlowe doesn't waste any time and brings her legs up and around Phoenix's head and locks in a headscissors, but the headscissors in for only a few seconds as Phoenix kicks her legs out and slips free and phoenix is quicker than Marlowe, as she gets to her feet while Marlowe is only gets to her feet and Phoenix locks in another headlock.

Simone: They lock up again, as this time Phoenix breaks and grabs Marlowe into a headlock before taking her down to the mat. But Marlowe right away seeks a way out of the move with a headscissors but Phoenix quickly battles out of that move and they make their way back to their feet and Phoenix grabs Marlowe into a headlock.

Marlowe takes a moment before pushing Phoenix away, who bounces off the ropes and as she approaches, Marlowe ducks past and grabs Phoenix around the waist, but Phoenix quickly breaks and counters, however, Marlowe rushes forward towards the ropes with Phoenix clinging on and Marlowe grabs the ropes and the momentum of hitting the ropes sends Phoenix backwards and lands on her ass. Marlowe turns and rushes towards Phoenix and as Phoenix gets to her knees and trips Marlowe and goes for a pin…

Adams: Marlowe pushes Pheonix away and Phoenix bounces off the ropes and Marlowe skirts past Phoenix and grabs her around the waist. Pheonix, however, counters and grabs Marlowe around the waist. Marlowe rushes forward and grabs the ropes and Phoenix ends up falling backwards.

Simone: Marlowe turns and moves towards Phoenix, but she trips Marlowe and goes for a pin.

ONE!

Kickout!

Marlowe kicks out as Phoenix is quickly back to her feet, as Marlowe gets to a single knee and Phoenix rushes in and Marlowe swipes Phoenix's feet from underneath her and sends her onto her back and Marlowe now goes for the pin…

Adams: Marlowe kicks out with ease and Phoenix gets to her feet and moves towards Marlowe and this time Marlowe trips Phoenix and goes for the cover.

ONE!

Kickout!

Phoenix pushes off Marlowe, as Phoenix backs off and sits on her knees, as Marlowe climbs to a single knee and stare at each other. They then make their way back to their feet, where they charge in and they lock up once more and Phoenix breaks and drives a knee into Marlowe stomach, Marlowe doubles over and Phoenix brings a knee up into Marlowe's face and Marlowe stumbles backwards towards the ropes holding her face and Phoenix charges in and clotheslines Marlowe over the top rope and to the outside, where Marlowe stays down and holds her face.

Simone: Phoenix kicks out and they stare at each other before making their way to their feet, where they move in and lock up but Phoenix breaks and drives a knee into Marlowe's stomach. Marlowe gets a knee to her face, which rocks her, and Phoenix then charges and clotheslines her out of the ring.

Phoenix climbs from the ring, where she moves to Marlowe and grabs her and pulls her up and then hits an arm drag and Marlowe continues to roll and stops against the barriers. The ref demands the action be brough back into the ring. Phoenix moves to Marlowe once more and drags her up to her feet once more and this time rolls her into the ring, as Phoenix doesn't follow right away and instead, she climbs onto the apron and watches Marlowe, who is on her hands and knees and crawling to the ropes. Phoenix changes her mind and climbs back through the ropes, where she approaches Marlowe and grabs her and pulls her up and pushes her into the corner, where she begins to punch, chop and kick Marlowe.

Adams: Pheonix climbs from the ring and grabs Marlowe and pulls her up, she then hits an arm drag, which Marlowe rolls away and Phoenix approaches once more and grabs her and rolls her back into the ring.

Simone: Once back in the ring, Phoenix changes her mind and then approaches Marlowe and proceeds to unleash on her.

Marlowe tries her best to cover up, but she doesn't know where to cover but is soon rocked as Phoenix hits an European uppercut. Phoenix backs up as Marlowe slumps down a little and Phoenix takes a few more steps back before rushing in and hits a Yukuza kick and Marlowe slumps down to the mat, as Phoenix untangles herself and she grabs Marlowe's foot and drags her from the corner.

Adams: Marlowe is ricked by a uppercut and then a yakuza kick.

Simone: Phoenix then grabs Marlowe from the corner.

Phoenix then grabs one of Marlowe's legs and proceeds to tie Marlowe up and hits an spinning inverted figure four leg lock and Marlowe grimaces in pain before Phoenix reaches out and grabs Marlowe's chin and pulls back.

Adams: Marlowe is in trouble here.

Marlowe cries out in pin, as she raises a hand as she contemplates tapping out, but she opts not too and claws at the mat and reaches out to the ropes, but she isn't close enough and she goes for one more stretch and her fingertips catch the ropes and the ref moves in and informs Phoenix and she releases. Marlowe rolls to her side and grabs the ropes, as Phoenix steps back.

Simone: Somehow, Marlowe manages to get to the ropes and Phoenix releases and backs off.

Adams: That did not look like a nice move.

Marlowe flexes her legs and well as her neck, as she sits up before looking up and grabbing the middle rope and pulls herself up to her feet, which Phoenix charges in and Marlowe gets an elbow up and Phoenix catches it and stumbles back before turning and charging again and Marlowe gets up legs up and around Phoenix's head and she then hits a headscissors takedown and sends Phoenix across the ring. Phoenix gets back to her feet, as Marlowe is a bit slower to her feet and Phoenix stumbles over to Marlowe and grabs her.

Simone: Marlowe struggles a little, as she makes her way back to her feet and Phoenix charges in and Marlowe gets an elbow up into Phoenix's face and she stumbles back before going back in and Marlowe hits a headscissors take down.

Marlowe pushes Phoenix away before surprising Phoenix with a roundhouse kick. Phoenix is wide eyed with surprise and Marlowe rushes forward and hits a Lou Thesz press and Marlowe fires in some forearm shots before making her way to her feet, where hits a stand on you sault. Phoenix holds her stomach, as Marlowe turns back around and drops and goes for a cover…

Adams: Phoenix is a little phased, as she moves back to Marlowe and Marlowe pushes Phoenix away and hits a roundhouse kick.

Simone: she is rocked and Marlowe takes advantage and she hits Phoenix hits a few more shots before going for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Th…kickout!

Phoenix kicks out, as Marlowe shakes her head and moves to her feet, where she turns and moves to the ropes, where she climbs the ropes and get to the top, as Phoenix powers through the discomfort of the forearm shot and being stood on, she makes her way to her feet and throws herself against the ropes, which unbalances Marlowe and she drops down and lands on the top pad.

Adams: Phoenix kicks out and Marlowe shakes her head, and she turns and looks to go high risk.

Simone: and it's just that as Phoenix gets back to her feet and proceeds to hit the ropes and unbalances Marlowe.

Phoenix grabs the ropes and climbs them to meet Marlowe, where they struggle and exchange a few shots before Phoenix delivers a couple of headbutts, which rocks Marlowe and Phoenix grabs Marlowe and sets up and hits the "Neuro-mutilation" (Snapmare driver) from the top rope.

Adams: Phoenix climbs the ropes and meet Marlowe on the top turnbuckle, where she have a short battle, but it's Phoenix who finishes Marlowe off with the Neuro-Mutiliation.

She then drapes an arm over Marlowe…

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: Phoenix advances to the final.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall… Laura Phoenix.

Phoenix's music hits over the p.a, as the ref approaches Phoenix and helps her up to her feet, where she raises her arm in victory, as Laura looks down at Marlowe before turning back to the camera and smiles and celebrates.

The backstage camera person spots movement at the dressing room door where Bill Barnhart, his wife Bea Barnhart, and their friend and fellow wrestler Felix Hernandez are staying. Bill and Bea exit the dressing room but Felix decides to remain in the dressing room to watch the Blast From The Past match where Bill faces off against Alexander Raven. As Bill and Bea start their walk to the staging area for Bill's match the two make comments during their walk.

Bill: Shortly I will step into the ring to face off against Alexander Raven in our Blast From The Past Tournament match. We both will enter as competitors and I will exit the match as the Winner and move on in the Blast From The Past Tournament.

Bea: And, YES, I will be at ringside as I am officially Bill's Manager. I am not at ringside to interfere in the match. I am at ringside to ensure that Raven does not cheat. I am also at ringside to ensure the Referee for their match calls the match fairly for both Bill and Alexander. I assure you if their Referee is biased against Bill and deliberately makes bad calls against Bill then I will file a formal complaint against that Referee.

Bill: Do not be overly concerned Bea. I have defeated Alexander Raven many times and he has won matches against me. I am sure the Referee assigned to our match will call the match fairly and honestly for both of us. None of the Referee personnel want to have to deal with you if they make a bad or biased call.

Bill and Bea arrive at the staging area and they get into place to make their entrance for Bill's match. The camera person cuts their camera feed and they run off to try to find other wrestlers they can focus on.

Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and our second Blast from the Past Semi-Final Match of the evening! Our next match will see two men who have tangled for the Roulette Championship in the past do battle as Alexander Raven goes one of one with "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Adams: Raven has almost done it all in SCW bar winning the World Title! He came close to winning last year's tournament when he faced Luna Pasilno and Sean Parker in the finals with Alexandra Callaway as his partner but in the end? It wasn't enough.

Simone: And with this year's tournaments being a one on one affair? That can change quickly, let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following contest is a Blast From The Paat Semi-Final Match!

As the opening rift of 'Kafka' by Jinjer begins to play out the lights change to a darkish blue, filling the area with a hazy blue. Smoke billows from the entrance way, covering the ramp and creating a cloud big enough for a person to stand in at the entrance curtain.

Justin: Introducing first, being accompanied by Luna Pasilno, from Melbourne, Australia, weighing 225ibs he is "The Broken Messiah" ALEXANDER RAVEN!

Alexander bursts from the smoke cloud, eyes open wide as he slowly casts his gaze over the crowd. His face drawn and stoic, the slight flaring of his nostrils as he nods a little to himself. His hand extends out to his side, as Luna Pasilno steps through the smoke, taking his hand in hers. The two of them slowly beginning to make their way down the ramp, hand in hand.

Simone: Raven defeated the latest graduate from the Go Gym in Beauty to reach the semi-finals, in fact that was almost the very first match of the tourney!

Adams: Then it had to be postponed and the match between Eddie Lyons and Artie took it's place! We'll see Eddie in his own semi-final match later against Kris Ryans but you can bet that both men will watch this closely.

As they reach the ring apron, they let go each other's hands, Alexander stepping up onto the ring apron, and turns to look back at Luna. The two of them locking eyes as he slowly steps backwards through the ropes, never breaking gaze from her. An unspoken acknowledgement as he slowly steps backwards toward the centre of the ring, Luna making her way around the ringside area taking up place nearby. Alexander coming to a stop in the middle of the ring, eyes still locked on her. Waiting for the bell.

Justin: And his opponent!

Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air.

Justin: Being accompanied by Bea Barnhart, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, weighing 240ibs "BULLDOG" BILL BARNHART!

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

Simone: Bill defeated Hitamashi to reach the Semi-Finals in one of the last opening round matches and while the Barnharts are controversial? They do get results when they concentrate!

Adams: Which doesn't happen all that often!

Jacob goes over the rules with both men but before he calls for the bell? He ejects Bea from the ringside area! Luna is smug as the older woman protests but then she gets ejected too!

Simone: Justin is not taking any chances here!

Adams: Both managers are out and now the match can begin!

Once the women leave Jacob calls for the bell and Raven and Bill start brawling.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And now the match starts!

Adams: Bea and Luna won't like it but there's no other way they can keep the match between Bill and Raven even!

As soon as the bell rings Jacob goes straight into damage control mode as he tries to regain control of the match but neither Raven or Bill are listening! Eventually Bill's size advantage proves to be his advantage as he backs Raven up to the ropes where he lands in a couple of more shots! Raven ducks his head between the top and middle rope to give himself a breather as Jacob forces Bill to back off but as soon as Bill turns his attention back to Raven the Aussie dumps him to the outside.

Simone: That's one way to gain the advantage!

Adams: Raven's always been a thinking man's wrestler and that proves it!

Raven climbs out onto the apron and waits for Bill to get back to his feet, when the veteran wrestler does get to his feet Raven hits him with a running clothesline off the apron, knocking the larger man down! Raven follows that up with a couple of punches for good measure before following him back into the ring and choking out Bill for a few seconds, finally letting go at the count of four! Raven goes for the first pin of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill kicks out!

Simone: First pin of the match but not enough to keep Bill down.

Adams: Raven's trying to wear him down, that much is obvious!

Raven shoots Jacob a dirty look before he picks up Bill only for Bill to knock him back with a European Uppercut, allowing Bill to take control of the match, Bill follows it up with a couple of forearms to Raven's chin before taking him down with a Back Suplex! Bill goes for his first pin of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

And Raven kicks out! Bill doesn't let up though as he locks in a Camal Clutch on Raven!

Simone: Now Bill's got a Submission Hold on Raven.

Adams: You don't see the Camel Clutch much these days but it gets the job done!

Jacob gets into position to ask Raven if he wants to submit but the former Roulette and Internet Champion refuses outright before he starts crawling his way over to the ring ropes, Bill tries to use his size to stop Raven in his tracks but Raven reaches the bottom rope and forces the break! Bill doesn't let go though so Raven takes matters into his own hands, literally, by using the ropes to pull himself up, Bill tries to transition to a Sleeper Hold but Raven counters it with a jawbreaker breaking the hold and knocking both men down for the moment.

Simone: Raven's out of the hold but how much damage did Bill do with that hold?

Adams: A lot based on Raven and Bill right now.

Bill starts to stir a bit quicker than Raven and gets to his feet first, Bill turns around and goes for a Piledriver on Raven but Raven counters into a Backdrop! Bill gets to his feet and goes for a Clothesline on Raven but Raven counters it into his Signature Move, the Double Hammerlock DDT that he calls The Kingslayer! Raven goes for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill kicks out! Raven gets up and gets in Jacob's face clearly believing that it was three but Jacob holds his ground and this only leaves Raven open to a roll-up from Bill!

ONE!

TWO!

And Raven kicks out! Both men get back to their feet but this time Bill scores for a Clothesline before calling for the Barnhart Shoulder Breaker!

Simone: Bill's just called for his Flying Hammerlock!

Adams: It has netted him several wins in the past, will it do the job against Raven?

Bill goes for the Submission but Raven scores with a couple of forearms to the face to counter it before hitting his own finisher, the running Vetrebreaker!

Simone: And there's Raven with the Raven's Spire!

Adams: Stick a fork in Bill, he's done!

Raven goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here's your winner, Alexander Raven!

Simone: It's official folks, for the second year in a row? Alexander Raven is a Blast from the Past Finalist!

Adams: And I think he's ready to correct his mistakes from last year!

Raven celebrates his win while Jacob checks on Bill.

"Hope Castrated" by Cage Fight hits the speakers and as soon as the opening scream is heard Logan emerges from the back, Brooke follows him out and has her back to the crowd while she does some sensual poses and her boyfriend glares at the ring.

Simone: Last week we learned that that young man will be Aidan Reynolds' next challenger for the Roulette Championship in two weeks time at Into the Void!

Adams: He and Brooke have been two of our most violent newcomers in recent years, and Brooke's just his manager!

As soon as Logan's name is called the two start making their way to the ring, Logan gets a running start before hopping on the apron and holding the middle rope down for Brooke as she enters the ring before he follows her in, they meet in the middle of the ring and while Logan remains standing broke drops to one knee and stretches her arms out with her head bowed, Brooke grabs two mics from a stage hand, handing one to Logan and taking the other for herself.

Logan: In two weeks' time? The promise I may the week after me and Brooke made our SCW debut will be fulfilled! At Into the Void I will challenge Aidan Reynolds for the SCW Roulette Championship!

The crowd boos that fact but Logan smirks.

Logan: You boo the fact that one of the youngest stars on the roster is getting his first title shot? I may have made it clear from day one that my goal in SCW was Championship Glory but I never begged, I never pleaded, I never went after a champion directly! I did things that right way and YOU BOO ME?!

The boos only grow louder as Logan seethes.

Logan: Fine! I never asked for your approval either! And when I dethrone Aidan at Into the Void my reign will long hard and each and every one of you will be along for the ride!

Crowd: THAT'S WHAT BROOKE SAID! *clap, clap, clap, clap* THAT'S WHAT BROOKE SAID!

Brooke listens to the chant and scoffs as she rolls her eyes.

Brooke: PUH-LEASE! Like I'd ever waste my time with you idiots!

The chant dies down and the boos are directed towards Brooke.

Brooke: You'd be lucky if a woman with my looks………..

Brooke does a provocative dance to drive the point home, emphasising her read end and breasts.

Brooke: Would even LOOK at you morons!

Logan: Make no mistake Aidan! At Into the Void I will walk out the new SCW Roulette Champion and you can use my match tonight against Kevin Carter as a sign of things to come!

Logan goes up the ring ropes and climbs up them, getting right in front of a camera.

Logan: DO YOU HEAR ME AIDAN? I AM THE LORD OF ALL THAT IS GOLDEN AND YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE ME AS I TAKE MY THRONE! Woe to the Vanquished, for the losses of pathetic champions will never be mourned, and Aidan? I COMMAND THEE KNEEL AS I CLAIM MY THRONE AND USHER IN A GOLDEN AGE OF VIOLENCE!

"Hope Castrated" hits the speakers again and Brooke and Logan leave.

Simone: How did someone that psychotic graduate from the Go Gym?!

Adams: He obviously has the talent but mental state? Who knows?

Holly Wood stands inside of the ring in her referee 'belly shirt" and black booty shorts, ready to officiate this upcoming match.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish!

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.

Kat: 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.

Adams: Do you think Crystal complained about having to come out first?

Simone: I can all but guarantee that egomaniac did just that.

Justin: And her opponent...!

"Summertime Sadness" hits the venue's soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong cheers from the crowd.

Andrea acknowledges the crowd and completely focuses on the task at hand. She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, acknowledging the crowd even further as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.

Holly Wood calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

At the sound of the bell, both women emerge from out of their respective corners and they slowly circle the ring, sizing one another up. Just as they pause, ready to lock up, Crystal puts on her best and most charming of smiles and offers up her hand in a gesture of good sportsmanship. The crowd immediately boos, shouting out warnings to Andrea.

Adams: Andrea CAN'T possibly be falling for this!

Simone: Ordinarily I would agree but lately Andrea wants to believe in the best of people so...

Crystal in insistent as Andrea looks out to the fans in the Netherlands. Crystal 'crosses her heart' and holds up two fingers as a solemn promise.

Simone: Yes, that and a dollar will buy a cheap cup of gas station coffee.

Finally Andrea opts to ignore the warring cries. She steps forward and takes Crystal's hand to shake it, but Crystal straight away cheap shots Andrea with a roundhouse fist from her free hand, her fist striking Andrea hard and fast in the jaw!

Adams: Who didn't see that coming? Show of hands?

Crystal then delivers a boot to her midsection, doubling Andrea over. Crystal takes a handful of Andrea's hair and gets a running start, driving her face-first into the top turnbuckle and then flinging her carelessly to the mat. Andrea rises to her hands and knees and Crystal grabs her by the head once again and runs her into the neutral turnbuckle.

Simone: Crystal would love nothing more than to send Andrea into Into the Void IX with a loss on her record.

Crystal then pins Andrea back against the ropes and throws repeated forearm smashes into her sternum. However when Crystal goes to clothesline Andrea to the floor, Andrea ducks and backdrops Crystal to the outside, sending the arrogant Latina grappler to the unforgiving floor! Without missing a beat, Andrea steps out onto the apron and watches as Crystal tries to regroup, only when she stands, Andrea jumps off of the apron and lands a missile dropkick on the outside!

Simone: Crystal thought she was going to gain a fast and easy advantage over Andrea!

Adams: Andrea may have turned over a new leaf but Crystal obviously forgot who she's dealing with in there!

Andrea gets back to her feet, dragging Crystal up with her, and rolls her back inside of the ring. Rather than go for a cover right away, Andrea instead climbs to the top rope of the nearest corner and waits for Crystal to rise to her feet. Once she does so, Andrea pounces on her with a diving cross body, hooking the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

And Crystal kicks out!

Simone: For all of her faults…

Adams: And there are a LOT!

Simone: … Crystal can take an insane amount of punishment.

Andrea shakes her head in disappointment before she goes out onto the apron apparently having another high flying move in mind as Crystal gets to her feet. Once Crystal does so, Andrea leaps looking for a Springboard Clothesline apparently, but Crystal catches her in mid-air with a Lungblower!

Adams: Oh, THAT'S going to knock the wind out of Andrea's sails!

Crystal with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

And Andrea kicks out!

Annoyed, Crystal stands over Andrea and begins to run her mouth at the former champion. Crystal then slaps her across the face, adding insult to injury!

Simone: That is no way to treat a former World Champion!

Adams: That's Crystal!

Crystal then grabs two handfuls of Andrea's hair and drags her upright and forces her back against the near corner. Continuing to talk shit, Crystal uses her hair as a handle to send her clear across the ring in a 360 tail spin hair toss!

Adams: If Andrea was wearing a weave, then we'd know by now!

Crystal picks Andrea up but Andrea collapses to her knees, hitting her with a Jawbreaker for her troubles. Andrea then goes to follow up, Irish whipping Crystal into the ropes. Andrea scoops her up into her arms on the rebound but Crystal counters with a Tilt-A-Whirl DDT, planting Andrea's skull into the canvas! Crystal with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Andrea gets her shoulder up!

Simone: Andrea Hernandez does not want to lose a match this close to Paris!

Crystal pounds the mat out of frustration before she goes out to the apron herself. She waits for Andrea to get up, and once she is, Crystal goes to catapult herself through the ropes for a spear but Andrea turns it into a sit out Faceplant!

Adams: Now Crystal is going to have to have her nose done! ... You know, again!

Andrea goes for the cover...

ONE!

TWO!

And Crystal barely gets the shoulder up as well.

Andrea drags Crystal back to her feet and goes to send her into the ropes but at the last moment, Crystal holds on and reverses the Irish whip. Crystal swings for a clothesline as Andrea comes off the far side, but Andrea catches her arm and drags her down to the canvas and into a Fujiwara arm bar!

Adams: Oh! She could be going for a submission!

Simone: I am certain that nothing in the world would please Andrea more than to force Crystal Zdunich to tap out!

But Crystal does not tap out. Holly Wood is right there in Crystal's face, asking her if she wants to submit but Crystal is too proud to say the words! Crystal extends her hand, trying to reach for the ropes but is too far away. Crystal then tries to ignore the pain and the pressure from the hold - and uses her free forearm to drag herself closer to the ropes! She again extends a hand and is just about to reach it -- when Andrea plants a boot to the ropes and rolls themselves back to the center of the ring!

Simone: Great ring awareness by Andrea!

But mid-roll, Crystal manages to use her trapped arm to roll Hernandez up into a reverse cradle for a surprise pin - grabbing a handful of tights for added measure!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Andrea kicks out!

Adams: Speaking of great ring awareness, that was pretty good on Crystal's part!

Simone: You? Complimenting Crystal Zdunich?

Adams: Sorry! It sort of just slipped out!

Andrea then stands and turns to the corner, and she begins to climb to the top. But as she reaches the top and turns around, Crystal is back on her feet. Crystal jumps up and hammers Andrea in the head with a clubbing blow, almost sending her toppling off! Crystal then climbs up, standing on the middle turnbuckle but Andrea starts to fight her off! The two former champions start throwing down in that dizzying position when Andrea fights fire with fire - grabbing Crystal by the hair and slamming her face down into the turnbuckle! Crystal slowly topples backwards and crashes heavily onto the canvas! Andrea then stands as the fans rally!

Adams: Crystal is in prime position for Rise of the Phoenix!

Andrea then leaps and performs the dazzling Phoenix splash on top of Crystal!

Simone: And she nails it!

Andrea with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner! Andrea HERNANDEZ!!!

Holly raises Andrea's arm in victory as the crowd cheers heartily!

Simone: And Andrea Hernandez goes into Into the Void IX with a win on her record!

Cameras found themselves rolling still, but this time they were away from the ring. As a matter of fact they weren't even in the building itself. Instead they were in the streets of Amasterdamn. Focused on one man and one man only as he walked along. That man being none other than the Brat himself. Jayden's narrowed expression locking on with the viewers.

Jayden: Vincent. We're just right around the corner from Into The Void...

There was a slight nod of his head.

Jayden: And in being just a couple of weeks away from this match between the two of us. I was expecting a little more out of you. I was expecting for you to finally understand what kind of deep shit you were in. I was expecting you to make the connection that this match isn't going to be just a walk in the park. I was expecting you to even smarten up a little bit and try to back out of the match. Once you realized the danger you were in. But then again I also expected you to have a better reason for why you did what you did at Blaze of Glory. So at this point you constantly disappointing me isn't a surprise.

Jayden's expression highlighted just how unimpressed with the situation at hand he was. Keeping his hands in the jeans of his pockets as he walked along those streets. The sun was setting a little more as it was getting increasingly darker by the minute.

Jayden: Your reason for making me a target was whack. You trying to cost me a match last week against Troll was also whack. The bullshit you did with Mr. Gaslight himself, HB Carter. You know where you pretended to be crazy and unhinged. It was also fucking whack. This entire ordeal is really starting to make me feel like I am wasting my time. It's starting to make me feel like I'm lowering my personal standards by even having this match with you. Is that what you're wanting? Was that your goal this entire time? Are you exposing yourself in real time?

His eyebrow raised slightly. Like he was expecting an answer right then and there. One he wasn't actually going to get. His steps finally came to a stop. As he just stood there on the side walk. The light breeze in the wind blowing that shaggy hair around.

Jayden: Because it sure as hell feels like it. Your bag of tricks don't seem to go that deep. Your abilities are looking very-very limited. Your logic seems very confusing. And most of all you're drive to fight seems almost non-exist. Almost like you've given up. And if that's the case Vincent. Don't be a little bitch. Just admit it. Admit that you're scared to fight me. Admit that you don't believe you stand a chance. You do that and I promise when I make you see the light it'll be as quick and painless as possible.

His lips curled into that trademark smirk of his.

Jayden: If none of that is the case. Then this is your last chance to pull your shit together and meet me with the same energy you had at Blaze of Glory. This is your last chance to dig down deep into your sister's purse and retrieve your balls back. This your last chance to figure out what kind of man and what kind of wrestler you're going to be. This is your last chance to stand on your own and not be in someine else's shadow. Two weeks to figure that shit out. Your running against the clock Vincent. And before you know it you're going to be out of time.

For the last month. This was the only thing that Jayden had been thinking about. The only thing that had kept him going and kept him feeling motivated. Knowing that soon enough he would get a chance to get his hands on the man that cost him everything. His eyes narrowed as he spoke his final words.

Jayden: Only thing you need to keep in mind is I'm coming out on top no matter what. You fucked with the wrong one and now you gotta pay!

That smirk remained on his lips. His narrowed expression helped send the message a little more. All before Jayden started to walk forward again. This time he walked right on past the cameras and out of the frame. It didn't take long at all for the shot to cut from the streets to back inside the arena for the next bit of action that was set to take place.

And just like that, we are back to ringside!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a Semi-Final match in the 2025 Blast From the Past Memorial! Scheduled for one fall!

As Clouds by NF begins A fog fills the stage area, as Eddie Lyons appears in the middle, hoodie up, and arms folded. He stands there looking down at the ring for a few moments.

Justin: Introducing first! From Baltimore, Maryland, weighing two hundred and thirty pounds! "Unbreakable" Eddie Lyons!

Shooting a fist into the air, Eddie pulls his hoodie down, and makes his way down the ramp, tagging the hands of a few fans along the way before climbing the stairs into the ring. Eddie extends his arms to both sides then drops to a knee, and punches the mat, he then moves to his corner to await the start of the match.

Justin: And his opponent...!

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 jumping to the corner and pumping both fists into the air to the cheering crowd!

Simone: This match promises to be something else! Eddie Lyons! One of the finest young talents in SCW history and 2024's Most Improved award!

Adams: And Kris Ryans! Grand Slam Champion! Hall of Fame! This one has me SO BLOODY EXCITED!

Dawn checks both men to ensure they are ready and once satisfied, she calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

And neither Kris nor Eddie waste any time as they come from out of their corners and directly to the center of the ring where they lock up, collar and elbow. The two men struggle briefly, as Eddie seemingly gains the upper hand and he slowly begins to back Kris toward the ropes, but Kris braces himself and puts on the brakes. Kris then takes over control, and he pivots around, reversing their positions and he instead has Eddie backed against the ropes. Dawn steps in and asks for a clean break, and Kris obliges - backing away slowly with his arms raised upright.

Eddie steps away from the ropes and the two men slowly circle the perimeter of the ring, their eyes never leaving the other. They pause once again and lock up, but this time Kris ducks behind Eddie and grabs him in a rear waistlock. The two men struggle as Eddie tries to break free, but Kris hefts him up into the air and plants him face and chest first down onto the mat. Kris floats over and grabs Eddie into a front facelock, holding him down on the canvas. Dawn is right down there, checking to see if it's a choke but is satisfied it is not. Eddie then forces himself up onto his hands and knees while in the awkward position...

Adams: Eddie Lyons going full cowgirl!

Simone: Will you STOP!? This match is serious!

Eddie then twists around and reverses their predicament, capturing Kris in a hammerlock while holding him face down on the mat. Dawn checks with Kris but the cocky Superstar looks at the official like she's nuts.

Simone: I don't think you'll ever see the day where Kris Ryans willingly submits. Especially to a hammerlock!

Eddie then jams his arm further up his back, almost to the point Kris can scratch the back of his own head! Kris yells out in pain and frustration, pounding the mat with his free fist! Kris himself struggles to get out of this bad way, forcing himself to his knees with Eddie still behind him, kneeling and the hammerlock still applied. Kris then reaches back and breaks free, snapmaring Eddie over his shoulder and right into a rear chinlock. Kris holds his younger opponent tight, until Eddie gets his feet beneath him and forces his way upright and back to a vertical base. Eddie then ducks into the hold and counters, holding Kris in a side headlock.

Adams: I admit I thought this match would be a little more fast paced than what we're seeing.

Eddie hip tosses Kris over to the mat, maintaining the side headlock, but Kris uses his long legs to grab Eddie into a head scissors, tearing him off and holding him tight! Eddie bucks and kicks his legs until finally he kicks out of the hold, breaking free! Both men are right on their feet and the feeling out process is over as Eddie steps up and rocks Kris with a swinging forearm blow to the side of the head!

Adams: Whoa! NOW things just got interesting!

But the veteran Kris is not to be outdone and he steps right back and answers with his own blow, throwing a forearm at Eddie's head and knocking him back several steps. Kris moves in but Eddie strikes with a knife edge chop and a forearm once again, but Kris fights back with his own blows and soon enough, a wild melee breaks down in the center of the ring with both Eddie and Kris exchanging jarring blows to each others' heads!

Simone: Once again, NOT what I expected coming into this one!

Kris comes out ahead in this exchange as he lands blow after blow, one forearm right after another into the side of Eddie's head and driving him back against the corner! Kris moves in but Eddie lashes out with a boot that doubles the Grand Slam Hall of Famer over! Eddie then comes at him full force with his own series of forearm blows that drive Kris back across the ring! Kris then blocks a shot and attempts a roundhouse blow - but Eddie counters by jumping sand catching his arm and right into a leaping cross arm breaker!

Adams: Oh! This is more like it! Eddie is going to snap Kris's arm right off!

Simone: He might as well before Kris would ever willingly submit the chance at getting to the finals of the Blast From the Past!

Kris is struggling wildly to escape this as his arm is fully extended into the hold! His face is deep red from the pain being endured but he shakes his head at Dawn, still refusing to submit! Kris then manages to roll into the hold and get to his feet with Eddie still maintaining the hold! Kris then starts to fight back, attempting to break free as he delivers one boot right after the other into Eddie's exposed head until Lyons finally releases him! Kris favors his arm and shakes it to get some feeling back into the limb, and as Eddie shakes his head, a little groggy from the kicks to his noggin'. Eddie then gets a running start to jump at his opponent but Kris deftly moves aside and Eddie goes through the ropes but holds on and safely lands on the ring apron.

Simone: NOW this is becoming the fast paced match I fully expected from these two young men!

Kris comes in after Eddie and reaches to grab him but this is the opening that Eddie is looking for as he grabs Kris's arm and scissors it, hanging him over the ropes in a guillotine scissors!

Adams: Oh! Ow! Eddie could end up hyper extending Kris's arm!

Simone: Or separating his shoulder!

But he hasn't the chance for either as Dawn is right there with the count, ordering the break!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And Eddie breaks the hold, dropping to the floor as Kris staggers back to the center of the ring, holding his arm!

Adams: Oh Kris is in trouble! He's in deep trouble!

Eddie climbs back up onto the apron and readies as Kris turns around full circle. Eddie then uses the ropes to launch himself back inside -- but Kris counters and lays "Unbreakable" Eddie out with a superkick in midair!

Simone: What a shot by the Hall of Famer!

Kris with the cover, hooking the leg with his bad arm!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Eddie gets a shoulder up!

Adams: No way! Eddie is still in this one!

Kris brings Eddie back to his feet, still favoring the arm that Eddie had been working on throughout the match. Kris delivers a spinning back kick right to Eddie's midsection, doubling him over. Kris then comes off the ropes and jumps, scissoring Eddie's head and throwing him over with a Hurricanrana! Eddie is sent rolling completely to the outside but he halts on the apron. Dawn stops Kris from going after him as Eddie struggles to get back to his feet, using the ropes for an assist. Kris then brushes past the official and goes for Eddie and Eddie tries to repeat his earlier success, grabbing Kris's bad arm but Kris stops him with a head butt right between the eyes! Kris then grabs him in a front facelock and he lifts him up for a vertical suplex but Eddie blocks it! Eddie then counters, trying for his own vertical suplex but Kris blocks it this time!

Simone: Oh lord, this is getting dangerous!

But this time Eddie successfully lifts Kris up into the air for the suplex but Kris kicks his legs and lands on the apron, relatively safely! Kris again goes for a superkick but this time Eddie ducks and he grabs Kris around the waist from behind, hanging off the apron...!

Adams: Oh no, don't do it!

Simone: Nonono! Don't-DEAR GOD!

Eddie successfully German suplexes Kris off of the apron and to the ringside floor, both men laying spent and hurt on the ringside floor! The fans in Amsterdam on their feet!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Dawn is right out there, checking on both men!

Simone: This is where Dawn might have to do what's best for both of these men!

Adams: But what would it mean for the Blast From the Past finals??

Simone: Hang the finals, Jason! This is about their safety!

Satisfied that they can continue, Dawn enters the ring and she has no other choice but to start a count against them both!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Eddie starts to stir!

FIVE!

Kris rolls over toward the barricade!

SIX!

Eddie uses the apron to drag himself upright!

SEVEN!

Kris uses the barricade railing to pull himself back up to a vertical base!

EIGHT!

Eddie rolls back inside of the ring!

NINE!

Kris dives back inside, just BARELY making it! The crowd cheers for the match to continue!

Simone: Oh thank GOD this match did not end on a count out!

Kris is on his hands and knees and Eddie comes charging off the ropes and right into a running knee strike right to the head!

Adams: Mane kick!

The blow knocks Kris completely over and onto his back where Eddie attempts the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-KICK OUT!

Adams: ANOTHER kick out!?

Simone: What is it going to take!?

Eddie sits up, staring up at Dawn who reiterates that it was only a count of two! Eddie stands up and pulls Kris up along with him. Eddie fires Kris off into the far corner and gets a running start and a leap, going for the Stinger splash - but Kris moves out of the way and hits the corner hard!

Simone: Oh no! Did Eddie just hit the ring post!?

Adams: I couldn't tell but even if he didn't, he sure as hell knocked the wind out of himself!

Eddie falls back to the mat and a staggering Kris steps out onto the apron and struggles to reach the top of the corner. No sooner does Eddie fight his way back to his feet and turn around, than does Kris launch himself into a diving front dropkick! The blow knocks Eddie head over heels and Kris jackknifes him in half for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO! Eddie kicks out!!!

Simone: Again! Another near fall!

Kris stares at Dawn and holds up three fingers but she holds up only two! Kris wipes the sweat soaked hair from his brow and slowly stands, pulling Eddie up along with him. Eddie seems out of it and Kris backs up a step and then jumps on him, going for the Flying Triangle Choke!

Adams: Sleepy Time!

But the instant Kris lands on the mat, Eddie somersaults over him in a surprise roll up!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Adams: He won! Eddie won!

Simone: Eddie Lyons is in the Finals!

Kris stares up in wide eyed shock as Dawn raises Eddie's arm!

Justin: Here is your winner - advancing to the Blast From the Past Finals! "Unbreakable" Eddie Lyons!

The crowd is on its feet, cheering for the wild match they just witnessed between two greats!

Simone: Eddie Lyons joins J2H and Alexander Raven in the Finals in Paris, France!

The scene opens backstage where we see Harper Mason leaning against the wall ahead od her tag match with Victoria Lyons against Song and Lillith Locke, Josh is nearby.

Harper: I swear, Christian gets his jollies over booking matches like this!

Joshua: Your Tag Match?

Harper: Yeah! Not only will all four of the women in this match, me included, be doing battle at Into the Void in two weeks for the Roulette Championship, but you and I both know the shit Victoria has put me through since the Iceland show!

Joshua: It's definitely a complicated situation.

Harper: And somehow I doubt this situation will end at Into the Void! I've dealt with her long enough to know that plays the long game!

Joshua: Does that include going a full year as champion though?

Harper: IF she survives Into the Void as champ? She'll be on track to do just that! But I plan to put a stop to those plans.

Harper lets out a deep breath.

Harper: My birthday's in September, the timeline on my goal of becoming the youngest ever Bombshell Roulette Champ is running out fast because once I turn twenty one in September? That goes out the window!

Harper lets out a deep breath.

Harper: At least I'll be able to drink legally by then but still.

Joshua: And you'll get your chance in Paris at Into the Void.

Harper: Yeah, ending Victoria's reign in the city of love, From Paris With Love and all that!

Harper and Josh walk off as the scene fades.

Justin: This is your Tag Team match up, first from Foshan China, SONG

Song's theme starts to play and 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 flips over to get inside the ring. The fans Boo with a few cheers and we see Song bowing to the fans.

Justin: And her tag team partner, from Las Vegas, Nevada, she is the Wildcard, LILITH LOCKE!!!

The arena is consumed by darkness. A low, distorted hum seeps through the speakers like a whisper slithering through the air. A deep purple strobe flickers erratically, casting eerie shadows across the stage. The tron screen glitches to life—flashes of crawling spiders, hollow-eyed skulls, and shattered, bleeding hearts. Then, a breathy, haunting voice crackles over the speakers:

"Do you feel it? That little shiver down your spine? … That's me."

Then—BOOM!

The opening riff of "Chaos in the Calm" rips through the speakers, sending a violent shockwave through the arena. A swirling, sickly violet mist floods the entrance ramp. From the haze, a shadow emerges—Lilith Locke. Her figure slowly becomes visible, clad in black and deep purple ring gear adorned with intricate spiderwebs and ominous skulls. She drags her fingers along her wristbands, the broken heart symbols catching the dim, flickering light as she twitches them with eerie anticipation.

Her lips curl into a sinister smirk as she drags a hand through her jet-black hair, streaked with deep violet highlights. Her piercing eyes, lined in smudged, dark makeup, lock onto the ring with a cold, predatory hunger. She moves down the ramp with an almost unnatural smoothness, her black knee-high Converse boots laced up tight, stomping methodically against the steel grating. Every step feels deliberate, like she's savoring the moment before the chaos begins.

At ringside, she stops abruptly. Her fingers curl into the ropes, and with a sudden, jarring movement, she hoists herself onto the apron. She drops into a crouch, her red-painted lips parting slightly as she glares into the ring, then, almost snake-like, she slithers under the bottom rope.

Now inside, she rises in one fluid, eerie motion and paces the ring, dragging her fingers along the ropes like she's feeling the energy coursing through them. She circles, eyes locked onto her opponent, her head tilting slightly in that unsettling way—as if she's studying them, deciding how much she wants to make them suffer.

Finally, she backs into the corner, slumping lazily against it before flicking her tongue across her bottom lip, a slow, wicked grin spreading across her face. The music fades, but the tension in the air remains thick. The storm has passed… but the real chaos is about to begin.

Justin: And their opponents.

Jonathon Young's cover of "New Divide" by Linkin Park hits the speakers and Harper emerges from the back throwing some kicks in the air to the opening beat as her manager Joshua Acquin watches on with approval, once the initial lyrics hit Harper does a spinning roundhouse kick before dropping to one knee and throwing up the Devil Horns.

Justin: From Orlando, Florida and being accompanied by Joshua Acquin, she is the "Slaytanic Avenger" HARPER MASON!

Once Harper hears her name called she jumps to her feet with a massive grin on her face, she sprints down to the ring clapping hands with the fans at ringside before she jumps into the ring and down a forward roll landing on her knees and grinning broadly, ready to throw down with her opponent, Josh applauds his charge from the outside as they wait her opponent.

Justin: And her tag team partner, from Charlotte North Carolina… She is the defending and reigning Bombshell Roulette Champion, VICTORIA LYONS.

The arena lights dim as "Hey You" by Nova Rockafeller plays, and Victoria Lyons appears onstage, and makes her slow and haunting walk to the ring. She glares at some of the fans, and even bites at a few as she passes by. As she gets in the ring, the lights go back on, as Victoria raises her arms in a V in the middle of the ring, as if looking for worship, and giving the camera a creepy smile.

Adams: And here we go! Four absolutely dangerous women in that ring, and this crowd is amped.

Simone: You can feel the energy, Adams. We've got the Roulette Champion Victoria teaming with Harper, two women with precision and power... facing off against the unpredictable chaos of Song and Lilith. Buckle up.

Lilith and Song exchange an uneasy glance in the corner, tension still lingering from their past conflict. Song barely nods as Lilith volunteers to start the match. Across the ring, Victoria cracks her knuckles with a confident grin and steps forward.

Adams: Let's not forget—there's some history between Song and Lilith. Song still believes Lilith cheated during their last encounter... and that shadow hasn't left this partnership.

Simone: Yet here they are, standing together. But will it hold when things get heated?

The bell rings.

DING DING DING!

Victoria starts things off for her team, and Lilith steps up for hers. The two circle, tension crackling. Lilith lunges first, but Victoria sidesteps, grabbing a wristlock. Lilith counters with a quick arm drag, flipping Victoria to the mat, then popping up and landing a low dropkick to Victoria's chest.

Adams: Lilith wasting no time! That dropkick caught Victoria flush!

Victoria rises fast, brushing herself off. The two lock up again, but Victoria overpowers Lilith, pushing her back into the ropes. Referee calls for a clean break—but Victoria shoves Lilith hard instead. The crowd boos.

Simone: There's that champion's arrogance. Lilith won't take that lying down.

Lilith answers with a spinning heel kick that stuns Victoria. She follows with a hurricanrana, sending Victoria tumbling across the ring. Tag to Song.

Song vaults in with grace, darting toward Victoria with a dropkick to the knee, staggering her. She follows up with a spinning wheel kick to the side of the head!

Adams: Song with those blindingly fast strikes! You blink, you miss five of 'em.

Victoria backs into her corner and tags in Harper, who charges in, aggressive. She goes for a lariat—Song ducks, rebounds off the ropes, leapfrogs a counter lariat, and hits a flying body press!

Simone: High-octane from Song! Harper's strong, but Song is a blur!

Harper kicks out at two and gets to her feet, irritated. She catches Song's next kick attempt, twisting it into a dragon screw takedown. Harper grabs Song's leg and immediately drops into an elevated knee bar—Slaytanic Panic!

Adams: She's got that signature submission locked in early!

Song strains, clawing to the ropes—Lilith sprints in and lands a diving crossbody on Harper to break the hold.

Simone: Great save by Lilith! That knee bar could have changed the whole match.

Harper growls and hauls Lilith up, tossing her out of the ring. That gives Song the moment to recover and nail a surprise Orchid Kicks sequence—three fast kicks before Harper catches her leg.

But Song spins into a Jumping Heel Kick with the free leg—CRACK! It staggers Harper. Tag to Lilith again!

Lilith slingshots in with a Springboard Backflip Three-Quarter Facelock DDT—CHAOS IN THE CALM!

Adams: She spiked Harper with that DDT variation! That could be it!

ONE!

TWO!

Victoria storms in and breaks the pin with a diving forearm to the back.

Simone: Victoria's not letting it end that quickly. She knows what's at stake.

The ref corrals Victoria as Harper tags her in. Victoria storms in, catching Lilith with a Step Up Enziguri, followed by a Basement Dropkick. Lilith clutches her ribs.

Victoria lifts her for a Stalling Suplex, holding it for several seconds to show off—BOOM! Drives her down.

She hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Victoria snarls and hoists Lilith up—The Cleansing!—but Lilith wriggles free mid-lift, landing behind her. She hits a Wheelbarrow Bulldog out of nowhere!

Adams: Lilith with the reversal! That's instinct, that's survival!

Both women crawl—hot tags!

Song hits the ring flying—Diving Moonsault on Harper! She lands it clean. Harper rolls to her knees—Loti's Melody! BAM! Sweet Chin Music to the jaw!

Cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Victoria yanks Song off by the foot.

Simone: Again Victoria saves it, but for how long? They're getting overwhelmed.

Song grabs Victoria into a Rear Naked Choke, holding tight—until Harper yanks her off with a Suplex from behind.

Lilith returns, running—Corner Clothesline to Harper! Harper staggers, and Lilith hits a Spinout Powerbomb!

Adams: Where is she getting this from?!

Song climbs the ropes—180 Moonsault! She crashes onto Harper! The ref counts!

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Lilith tags herself in as Song prepares for another moonsault. Song hops down, glaring.

Simone: Uh oh... that wasn't a friendly tag.

Adams: Song is not happy... that tension's boiling again.

Lilith shouts, "We've got this!" Song shakes her head, walking the apron in frustration. Victoria tags in and rushes Lilith. The two trade forearms mid-ring—fast, vicious. Victoria wins the exchange with a Forearm Smash, then bounces off the ropes—Lyoness Roar DDT!

Adams: NO! Victoria's going for the kill—

Lilith wriggles out, catches her with a sudden Goodnight – GTS!!

Victoria falls to her knees—Lilith bounces off the ropes, rolls her up out of nowhere—tightest cradle yet!

Simone: SMALL PACKAGE! THIS IS IT!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Your winner, by Pinfall, LILITH LOCKE AND SONG!!!

Adams: SHE GOT HER! LILITH JUST PINNED THE ROULETTE CHAMPION!

Simone: That's an upset if I've ever seen one! Lilith and Song just beat Harper and the champ! Lilith just pinned Victoria clean as a whistle in the middle of the ring!

Victoria sits up in shock, eyes wide. Harper's on the floor, stunned. Lilith rolls off, clutching her ribs, tears in her eyes. Song climbs in the ring slowly, her expression unreadable.

Lilith extends a hand, mouthing, "I didn't cheat."

Song hesitates.

Adams: This could go either way right now...

Refree Drew Patton goes to lift Lilith and Song's arms, but the two push past him.

Song finally nods... and raises Lilith's arm. The crowd explodes. But Lilith keeps her eyes on Song, but also nods in respect to the woman.

Simone: Respect earned. Trust... whos to know for sure. But this night belongs to them.

---

The arena plunges into darkness as "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 electrifies the crowd. Mercedes Vargas emerges, confidence radiating, her eyes locked on the ring.

Simone: Well, here she comes! The ever-confident Mercedes Vargas, and she looks ready to make a statement tonight.

Adams: When doesn't she? Mercedes loves to remind everyone why she's one of the most decorated competitors in SCW history.

Mercedes climbs the steel steps and enters the ring with a flourish, demanding a microphone from Justin Decent. Mercedes stands in the ring, mic in hand, a smirk playing on her lips as she scans the crowd. She waits for the crowd to quiet down, pacing the ring with an air of superiority.

Mercedes: Two weeks. Paris, France. Into the Void. The Bombshell Internet Championship on the line. And just like tonight in Amsterdam, all eyes are on me-Mercedes Vargas, the Argentine Assassin, the first-ever two-time SCW Hall of Famer, the woman who's rewritten the record books more times than Bella Madison has changed her hairstyle.

Simone: She's not wrong, Jason. Mercedes has set records in this company that may never be broken.

Crowd boos even louder. Mercedes smirks, shaking her head.

Mercedes: You see, Bella, you might have the belt, but I have something you can't buy-legacy. I've held every title there is, shattered every record, and made history in ways you can only dream about. You're the flavor of the month; I'm the standard. The name that echoes in every corner of this arena.

She steps onto the apron, leaning into the camera.

Mercedes: People say you represent the future, that you're the one to carry this division forward. But the future doesn't happen until I say so. This ring, this division, this legacy-it all runs through me. You're standing in the spotlight now, but I built the stage you're standing on.

She leans over the ropes, addressing the fans and her opponent with a sly grin.

Mercedes: You want to prove you belong at the top? You want to make your reign mean something? Then Christian Underwood picked the wrong opponent. Because in two weeks, Bella, you're not just facing a challenger-you're facing a legend. And legends don't fade. We burn brighter.

She soaks in the mixed reaction.

Mercedes: Multiple championships. Hall of Fame rings. Records that will never be broken. And now, I'm coming for the Bombshell Internet Championship-not because I need it, but because I want it. Because I can. Because I'm Mercedes Vargas, and that's what I do.

She lowers the microphone, staring daggers at the audience, then slowly raises it again, voice softer but more intense.

Mercedes: At Into the Void, I'm not just fighting for another title. I'm fighting to remind you and the world why my name is at the top of every list that matters. So Bella, bring your best. Bring everything you've got. Savor every second you have with that title. Take your selfies, post your hashtags, and enjoy the attention. Because when the dust settles, there will be no doubt, no debate, and no denying who the real queen of this division.

She stands tall in the center of the ring, arms outstretched, soaking in the energy of the crowd.

Mercedes: Paris is the city of lights, but when the lights shine brightest, history will remember one name-Mercedes Vargas. And after Into the Void, Bella, you'll remember it too, every time you look at that empty space where your title used to be.

With a final confident glare, Mercedes stands ready for her shot at history. She flashes a confident smile, the crowd buzzing with anticipation as her music hits and the scene fades out with the Hall of Famer making the belt motion at her waist.

Simone: And as we just heard, Mercedes Vargas has put Bella Madison on notice here tonight.

Adams: If Bella wasn't motivated before, she is now! Into the Void just got a whole lot more interesting.

Simone: That's right, Jason. The stage is set, the stakes couldn't be higher, and Mercedes Vargas is ready to make history. Don't go anywhere-there's more Climax Control coming up!

The cameras were making their way back to the ringside area. It was officially time for the main event of the evening. Usually something the fans would be excited for, but based on the main event they were getting or rather who was in it. Their excitement levels weren't exactly the same as they usually are. "Hope Castrated" by Cage Fight hits the speakers and as soon as the opening scream is heard Logan emerges from the back, Brooke follows him out and has her back to the crowd while she does some sensual poses and her boyfriend glares at the ring.

Justin: The following contest is your main event of the evening and it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first at this time. All the way from Sydney, Australia. Representing the Go Gym. Being accompanied by Brooke Shields... LOGAN HUNTER!

As soon as Logan's name is called the two start making their way to the ring, Logan gets a running start before hopping on the apron and holding the middle rope down for Brooke as she enters the ring before he follows her in, they meet in the middle of the ring and while Logan remains standing broke drops to one knee and stretches her arms out with her head bowed.

Simone: I want to take the time right now and apologize to anyone that brought their mother here tonight to celebrate Mother's Day. Not quite sure this main event is going to be the treat you were looking for.

Adams: I agree that putting two men like Logan and Kevin against each other isn't something that most would expect, but I don't think it'll be all that bad. If anything at least it'll keep us on the edge of our seats when they throw out the rulebook.

Simone: Well they can try. Our senior official is in charge of this match. You know as well as I know. Jasmine doesn't play games. She's not going to let the inmates run the asylum.

The crowd was already voicing their displeasure as they watched Logan inside the ring pace back and forth awaiting the arrival of his opponent. There was a sudden dim of the venue lights. Only to be replaced with the flashes of green and white strobe lights. All while the opening to "The Devil In I" by SlipKnot began to play over the speaker system. Those first couple of notes had the crowd's tune changing. Boos ringing out heavily and for no other reason than they were not the least bit pleased with who was about to make their way out.

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

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 a true Scumbag. The Entity of Sin City Wrestling. Your reigning Internet Champion, KEVIN CARTER!

By the time the proper introduction had come to an end from Justin, he had reached the ringside area. A short little jog Kevin leaped onto the ring apron planting his right knee pad into the mat and using the ropes to pull himself up to a vertical basis on the ring apron. The boos seemed to have only gotten louder in those few moments he made his way down to the ring. As he stood there the man proceeded to bring both his hands up in the air with a middle finger on each hand. As one would have expected, it didn't do Kevin any favors. Not by a long shot. All types of comments were starting to be hurled in his direction along with those boos.

Kevin smirked with hatred as he lowered his hands and then gripped the top rope with his left hand before swinging one leg over the middle rope. Ducking down under the top rope to finish climbing into the ring. In a true prick fashion, he took what appeared to be a small 'victory' lap around the ring culminating in him stopping in the middle of the ring. Keeping that championship raised high above his head as he did so. Then dropping to his knees in the middle of the ring. He placed the Internet Championship out on the mat in front of him and flipped his hood back to his jacket before tossing his arms out at his side. The boos continued to ring in from the disapproving crowd as Kevin smirked a little more. Undoing his jacket as he grabbed the championship with his free hand and stood up to his feet. The music started to fade out as he retreated to his corner tossing said jacket to the floor.

Adams: Oddly enough Belinda. This is the first time we have seen Kevin since his last title defense back at Blaze of Glory.

Simone: And from what I've been hearing when it comes to the backstage gossip. Kevin didn't even want to be here tonight.

Adams: That's just too bad for him. He works for this company. He represents this brand. He will do what is required of him and like it.

Simone: You know I would love for you to tell that to his face. With that same energy you're giving right this second Jason.

Adams: I would but see the thing is. He's got a match to compete in. I got a match to call. Maybe another time.

DING DING DING!

With the bell sounding and the match being official. Carter and Hunter found themselves stepping right to the middle of the ring for a face off. Hunter could instantly be seen trash talking. Carter standing there with a bit of a smug expression. Not seemingly bothered by it. That smug expression made Hunter feel some type of way. Leading to Hunter taking his entire hand and facepalming the Internet Champion. Carter took a couple of steps backwards thanks to the force of the facepalm. Standing there for just a second nodding his head a little bit.

Simone: I'm not quite sure that was smart on Logan's behalf.

Adams: It's Logan Hunter. Everything about him scream's not smart.

Hunter still trash talking Carter/ That was until the Internet Champion caught Hunter out of nowhere with a vicious right hand. Snaked him right in the jaw causing Hunter's eyes to roll back for a brief second before he hit the mat like a ton of bricks. Pure instincts must have taken over at that point with Hunter finding himself rolling right out of the ring only seconds after being dropped.

Adams: Ha! That man dropped fast!

Simone: I don't think that's something we should be laughing out Jason. We don't know how much damage a single punch like that could do to someone's well being.

Adams: Maybe. Logan should learn not to run his mouth then. That's his fault.

Simone: Not disagreeing with you, but someone's health is never a laughing matter.

Outside the ring Logan was lying on the floor. His knees bunched up under him as he held his jaw where he had been punched seconds ago. Brooke found herself rushing over to his aid and dropping to her own knees to check on him. Carter found himself rolling out of the ring a few seconds later. Forcing his way between Brooke and Logan. He reached down and grabbed a hold of Logan by his hair. Yanking him up off the arena floor and turning to throw him into the ring.

Before he could get back in the ring himself. Brooke had taken it upon herself to cut him off. Standing right in front of him. Screaming at him and putting her finger in his chest. Carter just laughed at her and attempted to get back in the ring. Only for Brooke to grab a hold of his wrist and yank him away from the ring. Again forcing him to put his attention on her. However the expression on Carter's face said. He could be heard shouting at her. "Get out of my way your stupid bitch!"

Fans right there in the front row that could hear it plain as a day all gasped over the comment. Brooke's eyes nearly bulged out of her hand. Triggered the woman to take a swing at Kevin with an open hand, but the Internet Champion just happened to be way too fast. Ducking out of the way and looking back at the woman with a smug smirk. Because as soon as she took that swing Jasmine could be seen climbing out of the ring and getting right in Brooke's face. Motioning that she was being ejected from ringside.

Adams: He baited it! Kevin just baited Brooke into taking a swing at him!

Simone: It's her own fault for falling into the trap!

Adams: I'm definitely not mad over seeing her tossed out of the ringside area. I think it's hilarious, but Kevin knew what he was doing there!

Brooke was having a meltdown almost as soon as Jasmine motioned for her to leave the ringside area. Trying to argue her case, but it was falling upon deaf ears. Jasmine stood her ground there outside the ring and kept telling Brooke to head to the back. With the situation handled for the time being. Carter grabbed a hold of the ropes and pulled himself up on the ring apron. He swung one leg over the ropes to start getting back into the ring, but that was a bit of a mistake. Hunter came rushing up and kicked the middle rope upwards into the Internet Champion's crotch for a low blow situation.

With that brief distraction outside the ring. Hunter was able to get away with ut. Carter holding his lower reignon as he dropped to his knees inside the ring. This was the perfect position for Hunter. Taking a step back and lining up the Internet Champion's face. Before landing a stiff Superkick right up under the jaw of the kneeling Carter. Knocking him onto his back. Hunter wasted no time at all to get himself in position to make the cover. Brooke had started to storm to the back. Leading to Jasmine turning around and seeing what was taking place. She charged the ring and slid under the bottom rope to make the count.

ONE!

BIG KICK OUT FROM THE INTERNET CHAMPION!

Hunter shot a nasty glare at Jasmine. Almost like it was her fault somehow that Carter was able to kick out. However, his attention went right back to his opponent as he grabbed a handful of Carter's hair and started to pull him up to his feet. With both men standing Hunter landed a stiff kick to the gut of the Internet Champion forcing him to double over for a brief second. Long enough for Hunter to bounce off the ropes and come in the direction of Carter to land a running knee lift. Drilling Carter in the jaw with his knee and causing him to shoot back up. Only for Hunter to finish it off with a clothesline to take Carter off his feet a second time.

Simone: I have to admit. I'm a little surprised that Logan has such a control on this thing. Especially considering how the match started.

Adams: Logan might have control right now, but it won't last long. Think of it like the other night when Boston had a twenty point lead over New York and blew it in the end. Talent always out does luck.

Simone: Sports talk? Yeah I'm sure people understood that.

Inside the ring Carter was already attempting to get back to his feet. Up to his knees but Hunter took it upon himself to come right up and club him right in the back of the neck to keep him dazed for the time being. Hunter switched gears as he grabbed a hold of the Internet Champion's wrist and pulled him to his feet the rest of the way. Before sending him into the corner with an Irish-Whip. Carter hit the corner with a thud. Hunter backed himself up all the way into the opposite corner of where Carter was. Giving himself a hell of a running start. Sprinting across the ring and leaping up for a Spla-No!

Carter dodged the splash at the last second. Causing Hunter to hit chest fist to the top pad. Based on the gasping for air when he backed out of the corner. One could only assume it knocked the wind right out of him. Not giving Hunter a chance to recover. Carter locked his arms around the waist of Hunter and then spun him around for a Ripcord Elbow Strike. Hitting Hunter right on the button again as the man fell through the ropes and landed on the apron. Not really a spot that was considered safe by any means. Carter stepping through the ropes right onto the ring apron

Reaching down to grab a hold of Hunter by his head. He lifted the man up just a little bit. Long enough to place Hunter's head right between his thighs. Before gripping his arms and hooking them in an awkward position. Using them for leverage to help lift him up. Carter had Hunter up for all of a few seconds before dropping to his knees and driving Hunter down on the back of his head for a Tiger Driver right there to the hardest part of the ring. Such a nasty thud could be heard from where Hunter's head connected with the edge of the ring. Before Hunter could fall off the apron though, Carter grabbed him and just tossed him right back into the ring.

Adams: The ring apron is one of the hardest and stiffest parts of the ring. I don't think I would ever want to be in a situation where the back of my head connected with it.

Simone: That's enough to give someone a concussion. Our head and our brains aren't truly made for impact like that. Just the risks wrestlers take these days.

Adams: It sure is. And considering that Kevin isn't exactly one to care for his opponent's well being. Can't say that I am surprised that he was willing to do what he just did.

Simone: That and Logan has tried to cheat quite a few times already in this match. That's enough to send anyone over the edge.

Adams: Like Kevin hasn't been known to cheat himself. Not saying it's right, but let's not pass judgment off on someone just because they beat you to the punch.

Looking completely out of it. Hunter had rolled to the middle of the ring. That provided Carter enough time to climb himself back into the ring. Taking his time to walk over and make the cover on Hunter., almost like he already believed he had it won already. As soon as he made the cover Jasmine was right there to drop down and begin the count.

ONE!

TWO!

STRONG KICK OUT FROM HUNTER!

The moment that Hunter tossed that arm into the air and got his shoulder off the mat. A nasty expression formed over Carter's face. Quickly, he used both of his hands to wrap around the throat of Hunter. Squeezing with everything he had in him. Attempting to choke the man out right there in the middle of the ring. Panic set in for Hunter as he tried to pry Carter's hands away. Kicking his feet about with the lack of oxygen already starting to show in his face. A blue color filling it. Jasmine has no other option but to step in and try to get the Internet Champion to let go. Her words and warnings were not registering to the man. That's when she began the traditional five count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIV- CARTER LETS GO JUST IN TIME!

As soon as his hands left the throat of Hunter. He held them up in the air like an innocent man, but that devious look on. Hunter had rolled over to his knees as he held his throat gasping for air. He wasn't going to get much of a break at all. Carter got right back to his feet as he reached down and grabbed Hunter. The second he pulled him to his feet. He put his hands in a specific position around the head, neck, and one of the arms of Hunter. Long enough for him to lift Hunter up and spike him down with "NO MORE MEMORIES" right in the middle of the ring. Hunter again looked completely out of it after being dumped on his head. Carter quickly going for the pin.

Simone: That Half Nelson Suplex of Kevin's is one of the nastiest in this business!

ONE!

Adams: Cannot argue that. He's so fluid with it. Almost gives you no time to prepare for what's coming.

TWO!

Simone: And we're possibly going to see it be the thing that puts Logan away right before our very eyes.

THR-NO!

LOGAN KICKS OUT WITH FORCE AGAIN!

Adams: That was close! So damn close. But somehow Logan still has a little bit of fight left in him.

Simone: Maybe, it wasn't a good idea to show that fight. Save it for another day. We know what lines Carter is willing to cross when a match goes far deeper than he would like!

Carter sat there on his knees. Becoming increasingly more annoyed with the ability that Hunter had to keep fighting. Determined to put an end to it. He snagged the man by his hair once again and started to stand up with him. Yet when he did so Hunter grabbed a hold of his head and then dropped down to his knees suddenly. Driving the jaw of Carter into the top of his head for a modified jawbreaker. Carter stumbled backwards a little bit. Allowing Hunter time to get back to a vertical basis.

As soon as Carter was able to collect his bearings and saw Hunter was up. He rushed him going for a clothesline, but Hunterr saw it coming. Quickly ducking under the arm of the Internet Champion. Carter stopped himself short and turned around. By then it was too late. Hunter was waiting in the winds for the champion. Quickly using his head quite literally when he delivered a nasty looking Headbutt to the chin of Carter. The Internet Champion seemed out on his feet as he fell back against the ropes.

Carter bounced off those ropes due to pure instincts alone. As soon as he popped off them despite not being all there. Hunter caught him with both arms. Wrapping them around the entire frame of the Internet Champion. He lifted Carter straight up into the air and drove him down on his back with one hell of a Belly to Belly Suplex. The thud of Carter;s body connecting with the mat was enough to make the fans in the front row cringe in pain. Hunter right away hooking his leg for the extra leverage for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

CARTER QUICKLY FORCES HIS SHOULDER UP OFF THE MAT!

Adams: Not even close. Hunter is going to have to dig a whole lot deeper into his bag of tricks if he thinks he's getting a win tonight.

Simone: Not quite sure if we really want him going to that bag of tricks anymore. We talked about it earlier. He will cut any corner he needs to get a win.

Hunter was back on his feet at that point. As he marched right over to one of the nearest turnbuckles. Right there plain as a day in front of Jasmine. He began to rip that protective padding off the top rope. In a matter of seconds exposing the metal part of it. Jasmine was right there scolding him for what he was doing, but he kept tearing the pad down until he was satisfied with the exposure of the metal. Finding himself turning around to put his attention back on Carter who was crawling towards the corner.

This had to be part of the game plan. Because as soon as he turned away Jasmine turned her back to the action. Gripping the pad of the turnbuckle in order to put it right back in place. Hunter was already reaching into his pocket as he revealed those brass knuckles of his. Slipping them on over his right hand, he watched as Carter stood himself up. Slowly turning himself around and the moment he did. Hunter went for that knockout blow with "RIGHT HAND OF G-NOOO!" Carter ducked under the punch.

As soon as he was able to duck under the punch. He grabbed the arm of Hunter and spun him right back around to keep him on edge. Swiftly scooping Hunter onto his shoulders and turning towards the middle of the ring. Carter flips Hunter off his shoulders for "INTO THE ABY-NOOO!" At the last second Hunter flipped out of it and landed on his feet. Carter caught by surprise of it all and tried to stay in control by rushing in, but Hunter clobbered him "RIGHT HAND OF GOD" right to the jaw!

Simone: He connected with those brass knuckles!

Adams: Kevin is out on his feet! We're about to see the biggest upset of 2025!

Carter was wobbly on his legs after that punch was connected with. Hunter quickly ditching the brass knuckles as he kicked Carter right in the gut to double him over and then grab him by the head. Driving him onto it in the middle of the ring with "HOPE ENDS" sending the crowd into a heavy booing frenzy. Hunter got in position to make the cover, just as Jasmine had secured the pad on the turnbuckle, and turned back around. Throwing herself down on the mat to make the count.

Adams: We're never going to hear the end of this!

ONE!

Simone: I don't want to live in a world where Logan has a win like this under his best!

TWO!

Adams: All the dirty tricks he pulled out tonight. Actually once worked in his favor. I cannot believe what I am seeing.

THRE-NOOOOOOOOO!

CARTER KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!

Simone: No! No they didn't! Kevin is still alive!

Hunter was about ready to have a melt down the moment Carter kicked out. He slammed his hands down on the mat over and over again like a toddler throwing a fit. As soon as he got back to his feet he was in Jasmine's face screaming at her and accusing her of trying to sabotage him. Something she wasn't going for. Taking his eyes off of Carter though could end up proving to be costly though. The Internet Champion was already fighting to get back to his feet. Hunter happened to take his attention off of Jasmine just at the right time.

To see Carter getting those feet up and under him. Hunter springing into action as he ran up and clubbed Carter, knocking him back into the ropes. Landing a couple of punches to make sure he stayed in control and wore down the champion. All before gripping a hold of the man's wrist and attempting to shoot him across the ring. Carter on the other hand ducked Hunter's arm. Stopping them both short as he scooped Hunter up onto his shoulders. Only to drive him down to the mat with "INTO THE ABYSS!" As soon as he drove Hunter into the mat. He fell right on top of him for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-NOOOOOOO!

BROOKE PUTS HUNTER'S FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Simone: Where the hell did she come from?! She was thrown out of here!

Adams: A complete lack of regard for rules and authority. That's what Brooke and Logan both represent. Not even surpising she's made her way back out here!

Carter sat up right after the pin. Brooke by then couldn't resist making herself the center of attention. By leaping up onto the ring apron and screaming at him. Visibly frustrated he stood himself up and started to charge towards her. Only to find himself being stopped by Jasmine. She made sure he understood to stay back, Jasmine then turned herself around and got right in Brooke's face. Making it clear she needed to leave the ringside area for good. Brooke arguing her point and refusing to hop down.

All while this was going on Hunter had rolled away to the other side of the ring. Slowly starting to get up to his knees as he could see where Carter stood. Right there in the middle of the ring. Hands on his hips. Looking more than annoyed with everything that was going on. Jasmine and Brooke continued to argue back and forth with each other. About that time Hunter sneakily made his way right behind Carter. He dropped down to his knees and took his arm slamming it up between the legs of Carter for a low blow!

Adams: Logan goes low again!

Simone: This son of a---

Adams: Watch it Belinda. We're a family friendly show!

Simone: Oh cut the crap Jason! We've heard far worst from others than what was about to come out of my mouth!

Carter could be seen slowly starting to drop to his knees from the low blow. Hunter taking no time at all to go ahead and grab the man by his tights. Rolling him up backwards. Hooking the tights for the extra leverage for that pin. Brooke managed to get Jasmine to turn around at that very second. Seeing the pin taking place as she sprung into action. Jasmine's hand coming down to the mat.

ONE!

TWO!

T-NO!

CARTER FORCES HUNTER OFF HIM WITH EVERYTHING HE HAD!

Hunter goes flying back a little thanks to the force of being shoved off. Carter, despite the pain he was in was getting up. Hunter scrambling to his feet as well. Both men made it up at the same time. Hunter attempted to keep control by making the first move. Rushing towards the Internet Champion, but that was a mistake., Because as soon as he rushed in. Carter leaped up and connected with a picture perfect Dropkick to the man's chest sending Hunter flying backwards.

Hunter smacked right into Brooke who was still standing there on the apron. As soon as he hit her she went flying off the ring apon and hit the floor with force. Landing awkwardly on her ankle. She shrieked in pain beginning to favor that ankle. Hunter took his eyes off of Carter when he turned around to see what happened. A look of concern in his eyes for the woman.

Simone: Oh man that tumble to the outside did not look good for Brooke. She could have broken her ankle!

Adams: Classic case of mess around and find out. If she would have just minded her own business and stayed in the back when she was told to. That wouldn't have happened!

Simone: I will agree that it is her fault that things went down the way it did. But still, that was a nasty fall to the outside. You never want to see anyone truly get hurt.

That brief distraction was a costly matter for Hunter. Taking his eyes off of Carter for even a second wasn't bright. For the Internet Champion could be seen charging Hunter from behind. Using the ropes for leverage as he connected with a stiff knee right to the back of the head. Hunter fell forward and almost all the way out of the ring. Carter was quick to step back and grab a hold of the tights of Hunter to pull him back in the ring towards him. Wasting no time to scoop him onto his shoulders a third time and deliver "INTO THE ABYSS" smack dab in the middle of the ring. From there Carter hooked not one, but both legs of Hunter for that extra leverage on the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner. The Innnnterrrrnet Champion, KEEEVVVVIIINNNN CAAAARRRTTTEERRRRRR!

As soon as the bell sounded Carter slammed Hunter's legs down and pushed the man away from him with force. He rolled over to his knees and then pushed himself to his feet. Raising both his arms into the air the moment he was able to stand up. As expected though it came with a series of hateful and spiteful boos from the crowd. Not pleased with his win, but then again there wasn't much of a positve outcome on either end of the spectrum. His lips curled into a smirk as he listened to them boo.

Adams: I think I am right in saying this. As expected Carter walks away with the win. Hunter was out classed the entire night despite cheating over and over again.

Simone: And you know Carter himself is just as guilty as doing that kind of thing. We didn't see any of that out of him tonight.

Adams: It was Logan Hunter. You really think Kevin felt like he needed to cheat to win there? Let's be real here Belinda. That's just not the case.

Simone: Not saying it was. Just pointing out I think a lot of people expected both men to cut as many corners as they could and we didn't experience that from the Internet Champion tonight.

Adams: That was tonight. Who know what version we'll get out of Kevin at Into The Void?!

By then Jasmine had grabbed a hold of the Internet Championship from the time keeper and brought it into the ring. Handing it off to Carter who was quick to snatch it out of her hand. Undoing the championshp's strap to raise it high into the air. Jasmine taking it upon herself to grip the other hand of his and raise it into the air. More boos came flowing in his direction, but none of it seemed to have any kind of effect on him as he soaked in the win.

Off to the corner of the ring Hunter could be seen starting to stir back to his feet. Taking his time in doing so. With the help of the ropes he was able to stand up. However, this Carter's attention. Quickly, he yanked out of Jasmine's grip and charged forward with his championship in hand. Drilling Hunter right in the back of the head with the Internet Championship. Knocking the man's lights out and sending Hunter falling through the ropes to the floor next to Brooke with that shot.

The cheap shot didn't seem to do the man any favors at all. The reaction going from boos to flat out chanting as loud as they could "SCUMBAG" over and over again. Carter taking almost a sense of pride with it. Taking the Internet Championship and placing it over his shoulder in a proud display. Only to raise his hands back into the air in a gloating manner. This was the last image seen before Climax Control faded to black for the end of the show.
