The opening shot is inside of the Golden Ring Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The set up has been changed dramatically with a ring set up in the center of the main floor, surrounded by a ringside barricade and one row of seats, currently occupied by SCU roster members and staff alike.
SCW ring announcer Justin Decent stands up from his place at ringside and brings the house microphone to his lips.
Justin: Hello, and welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada for Sin City Wrestling and the eighth annual edition of Blaze of Glory! SCW would like to take this time to thank Daniel J. Morgan for opening up the Golden Ring Casino to Sin City Wrestling to continue entertaining the fans during this trying time the world is going through.
Those in attendance clap their hands together, giving their mutual thanks as the Golden Ring Casino has been opened up to SCU as well.
Justin: Now please welcome to the stage, along with Holly Wood -- SCW's own 'Hostess With the Mostess,' Amanda Hugginkiss!
Amanda and Holly step out onto one side of the entrance stage, greeted by enthusiastic cheers and applause. Amanda in a black gown with lavender wig, and Holly in a hot pink cocktail dress and light pink wig. The music with a beat to it pumps across the sound system and the opening performance begins...
Amanda: We're over the Corona Virus
We're scared of getting sick!
Holly Wood: (deep voice) Hey hey hey hey!
Amanda: For the past year nobody will hire us.
Holly Wood: And I ain't had no dick!
I'm terrified of this infection!
Just make it go away!
Amanda: Hey hey hey hey!
Holly Wood: But now there is a new injection!
Amanda: And I want it today!
Together: And though we're under sixty five, We're trying to think up ways
We're stealing vaccinations even though we both feel fine
To get that shot and stay alive, Because crime pays!
We're stealing vaccinations, faking symptoms! Cut in line!
Amanda: Each time I cough I start to panic
There's Covid in my throat.
Holly Wood: Hey hey hey hey!
Amanda: So like that guy on the Titanic
Holly Wood: And jump for that lifeboat!
Together: I'm such a selfish, shameless pig, I rented a wheelchair
We're stealing vaccinations, we are monsters! It's so gross!
Pfizer or Moderna, we don't care! Whatever you have got!
We're stealing vaccinations! Forging papers, telling lies!
Wore diapers and a short, gray wig, We don't care!
We're stealing vaccinations, tackled grandma! Took her dose!
Johnson and Johnson if you dare! It's one shot!
We're stealing vaccinations! We don't care if someone dies!
We're stealing vaccinations, even though we both feel well!
We're stealing vaccinations! Chances are, we'll burn in Hell!
The song ends and Amanda and Holly bow and blow kisses to one and all as the camera heads to ringside with Jason Adams and Belinda Simone.
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to the tenth annual edition of High Stakes! I am Belinda Simone!
Adams: And I'm Jason Adams ... heyyy! First try!
Simone: Miracles happen. High Stakes X! It took us a long time to get this far but SCW has done it, and along with the stars of SCU, we are presenting to you tonight we are presenting to you EIGHTEEN matches!
Adams: And it starts in the traditional way as SCW championship gold is on the line as Royal Purple defends her Roulette title against her two challengers for the night; Violet Amelia Holt and Krystal Wolfe!
Simone: A one on one encounter between Azurine Vebbins and Candy will be next!
Adams: Then the first SCU title match of the night! Helluva Bottom Carter defends against former champion Eyesnsane in a Kickboxing match! ... Does Carter even know HOW to kickbox?
Simone: I guess we'll find out soon enough! Following that will be a match for the World Mixed Tag Team titles when the champions, Teddy and Kate Steele-Warren defend against Bea and "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!
Adams: Then we have two top singles Bombshells in a match when Seleana Zdunich goes up against one of the greats, Lucy Seraphina!
Simone: Then its Alex Jones's turn to put his Roulette title on the line against the two men who earned their spots; Miles "Milo" Kasey and Caleb Storms!
Adams: hen it's time to decide a Queen! The Queen For A Day ladder match where the woman that retrieves the briefcase wins the right to run the show! It's Alicia Lukas! Mercedes Vargas! Courtney Pierce! And Char Kwan!
Simone: Bella Madison HAD been scheduled for this match but unfortunately had not been cleared in time. Following this match, we have the Internet Championship up for grabs when O'Malley puts his title on the line against Mac Bane who received this title shot as a consolation prize for being runner up in the 2021 Blast From the Past!
Adams: Then the SCU Combat title is on the line! Merlot Ayano has held the title for a LONG time and this time defends against Melissa Ruin in a Brazilian Jui-Jitsu match! ... Say what IS a Brazilian Jui-Jitsu match anyway?
Simone: We'll just have to wait and see! After that, it'll be time to decide the King! It's the Superstars' turn to climb the ladder for the right to run things as Austin James Mercer, Senor Vinnie, Cassian Reed and Agostino Romano all compete for the honor!
Adams: There's been a grudge brewing between Sammi Marlowe and Andrea Hernandez ever since Andrea got all jealous and butt hurt over Sam getting some well deserved attention. Maybe she should change her name to Karen? Anyhoo, Andrea's going to find out the hard way tonight that Sam is not all sugar and spice and everything nice when they finally meet in the ring!
Simone: The SCU Underground Championship is at stake when the champion Father Gerald defends his belt against one of SCU's all-time greats in Stewart Mason!
Adams: THIS match has been building! It's the Bombshells Clash of the Titans as Bobbie Dahl FINALLY gets Tempest inside of the ring so we can finally find out just who the dominant Bombshell is between them! They've been fighting and attacking each other for weeks, and Tempest even went after Artie!
Simone: I think Tempest is going to see Bobbie's bad side for that act alone! Next up, we find out if the most dominant Internet Champion in SCW history can continue her unbelievable run when Myra Rivers puts the title on the line against SCW's Icon, the legendary Roxi Johnson!
Adams: And talk about feuds! THIS one started all the way back to Blaze of Glory when Brother David Shepherd attacked Fenris after the Lion's Den match against Austin James Mercer! This one has been one non-stop fight against the other, and they even resorted to teaming with their own family members and THAT was so chaotic there was no clear winner! Tonight, Fenris and Brother David WILL finally get a winner between them! ... I hope!
Simone: Then the GRIME Nightmare Champion Hitamashii defends his title against a wrestler who SCW fans are very familiar with and has been a success both here as well as in SCU in both singles and tag team competition; Samuel McPherson!
Adams: Then it's time for the World Heavyweight Championship! The winners of the 2021 Blast From the Past FINALLY get their shots! First up, Marc Cross, back to back Blast From the Past Champion challenges Jack Washington for the gold in part one of tonight's Double Main Event!
Simone: And bringing the show to a close, Amber Ryan puts the World Bombshell Championship on the line against her own Blast From the Past challenger; the young Ruby Steele! All this and more on Into the Void X!
The cameras quickly cut to the back as Violet Amelia Holt looks determined as she heads toward the ring.
Violet: Tonight, I make history. Tonight, I regain what I shouldn't have lost. Tonight, I shut the Wolfe up for good. Tonight, Crazy becomes the new normal.
Violet walks past the cameras as they cut back to ringside.
The scene opens backstage at Into the Void X where we see one of two challengers for the Bombshell Roulette Title Krystal Wolfe working out ahead of the title match against Royal Purple and Violet Amelia Holt.
Simone: Krystal looks set to win her first title in tonight's opening match!
Adams: To go from winless to winning the Bombshell Roulette Championship on her first try would be a major confidence boost for her.
Krystal finishes her workout just in time for Pussy Willow to approach her.
Krystal: Let me guess, Rocky's waiting to spin the wheel?
Pussy: You got it! Speaking off which, Krystal your title match is the opening match, are you feeling the pressure yet?
Krystal: Pressure?
Krystal scoffs.
Krystal: Pressure is scrambling to save up enough money to move half way across the world so I could train at the Go Gym, pressure is training from dusk till dawn to be the best wrestler I can be, pressure is what made me into the diamond I am today.
Krystal says before adjusting a bra strap.
Krystal: Competing for my first title in the opening match of Into the Void X is nothing! Did my first six months in SCW not go as planned? Absolutely but I picked the right time and place to pick up my first win and whilst Royal Purple is as quiet as a mouse, Violet has been running her mouth nonstop! You'd think the match was between just me and her!
Pussy: You're not worried about facing a former Roulette Champion and the current Roulette Champion?
Krystal: Look at the women I've beaten to get here, Candy, Bea Barnhart and Mercedes Vargas, aside from Bea, what do they have in common?
Pussy: They are both former Roulette Champions!
Krystal: Exactly! And not just that, but Candy and Mercedes were both defeated by Violet! Hell, Violet was the one who ended Candy's reign last year at Into the Void IX and yet she complains about not getting her rematch? What about Candy's rematch hmmm? She held that title from January through to June and only lost it in an Inferno Match! Yet it's been a year from that date and the closest Candy has gotten is my qualifying match!
Pussy: What about Mercedes?
Krystal: What about her? We both hold wins over her but it's how we got the wins over Mercedes that counts! Violet picked her spot and waited until Bella had hit her finisher on Mercedes before pouncing in for the kill, Mercedes got cocky against me and it cost her! Ny point is that whilst we have had similar trajectories in the past few months Violet, only one woman can walk out the new Roulette Champion and that's me!
Krystal walks off to get ready for her match as the scene fades.
Rocky Mountains is seen by the roulette wheel as Krystal and Violet are standing with her. Royal Purple joins the three and then Rocky spins the wheel as the three bombshells glare at each other.
Adams:This spin will decide what match these three will be in to open the night.
Simone: It is slowing down and the match tonight will be settled by a
The wheel stops and reveals that the match will be a briefcase bonanza match. Royal Purple looks at the wheel then at her title belt before slowly pulling it from her shoulder and handing it to Rocky.
Adams:A briefcase bonanza match Belinda…what a concept…or rather, what is the concept?
Simone: The idea for this match will have the title belt hidden in one of three briefcases. The bombshells will be given a chance to choose a briefcase for every pin. Wouldn't it be interesting if each of them won a pin?
Each bombshell looks at the wheel then moves towards the gorilla position as Rocky moves to a table where three briefcases are.
Simone: Hello and welcome to the opening match of Into the Void which is the triple threat match for the Bombshell Roulette title. Let's go to Justin for the introductions.
Justin moves to enter the ring and brings the microphone to his lips.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for the Bombshell Roulette title…Introducing first...
The guitar intro to "When Destinies Align" by Lovebites hits the speakers and Krystal makes her way onto the entrance ramp wearing a black t-shirt with the words "Critical Hit" companied with a D20 that has landed on a Natural Twenty over her ring gear.
Justin: From Adelaide, Australia, she is "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!
Adams: This match is looking to be a match between three equally talented bombshells.
Simone: I agree Jason but which one will be the winner when this is done?
Krystal makes her way down the ramp whilst occasionally slapping hands with the fans before she rolls into the ring and poses for the fans, as her music fades she removes her shirt and hands it to a ring attendant as she waits for her opponent.
Justin: And her opponent...
Simone: Here comes the champion.
The opening riff to "Born Under A Bad Sign" draws an instant reaction from the fans as they prepare to boo the arrival of the fastest person in the building (probably) in Royal Purple. After a moment she appears through the ramp curtain, purple mask glowing and matching purple hair flowing loosely around her shoulders. She strolls nonchalantly towards the ring, tying her hair back into a loose ponytail and getting ready for action, no attention paid to the jeers from the crowd roaring around her.
Justin: She is the Bombshell Roulette champion, Royal Purple.
Adams:Looking very confident about this match.
The lights softly die down as a countdown clock appears on the screen. Once the clock hits zero, "Stand Up (Remix)" strikes up as a young woman with blonde hair steps through the curtains with an older gentleman and another young woman alongside her. The crowd is mixed with their reactions.
Justin: And their opponent…Making her way to the ring being accompanied by her father Dustin Holt and sister Shelby Holt, from Port Charlotte, Florida. Standing five feet two inches tall and weighing 128 pounds. Please welcome Violet Amelia Holt
Adams: Violet looks very ready for this match too Belinda.
Violet somberly walks down the ramp while whispering to her little sister. She then slides into the ring and throws up a hand gesture which gets people going crazy. She walks to a corner and waits.
Simone: There are the briefcases at the top of the ramp.
DING DING DING!
Summers motions for all the women to move to the middle of the ring. Krystal moves to the center of the ring where she is joined by Violet Holt. Both women size each other up and Violet watches as Krystal holds out her hand. Slapping it lightly, Violet nods and smiles as the pair begin to circle before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up in the middle of the ring. A quick tug of war happens as each bombshell tries to gain the advantage before Purple moves off the turnbuckle and takes the pair down with an attempted double bulldog. Krystal manages to duck under the hold to allow Purple to take Holt into the corner. Jacob follows both women in and then before he can warn Purple to release the hold, she holds up her hands and backs away from Violet who gives her a nod of respect. The two move to attack Krystal again with Violet taking advantage with an armdrag on Krystal who rolls to her hands and knees with a look at who holds out her hand. Krystal moves to her feet and circles again. Purple watches her before backing against the ropes and charging towards Krystal in a clothesline attempt that Wolfe avoids. Purple stops quickly but turns into a dropkick from Krystal that sends her against the ropes.
Adams: What a fight for the Bombshell Roulette title.
Purple pushes away from the ropes and charges at Krystal with a clothesline but is caught in an armbar with Krystal trying to force her to the mat. Violet manages to interrupt the hold and then sends Wolfe to the mat with a hurricanrana. Rolling through it, she mounts Krystal and begins to drop right hands onto the head and shoulders of Wolfe. Krystal attempts to cover as best she can which forces Violet to her feet. Reaching down, Holt picks up Wolfe and stands her in the middle of the ring. Krystal sways slightly as Purple hits a standing dropkick that sends Wolfe back first into the corner. Hitting hard, Krystal falls to her stomach. Seeing her opponent on the mat, Violet rushes the ropes and hits a springboard leg drop. Rolling away, Violet turns to roll Krystal up but Wolfe has slid out of the ring. Purple quickly spins Violet around and then delivers a front face cutter that has Violet laid out as Purple pins her.
Simone: Purple with the first pin and first choice of briefcases Jason.
Krystal is leaning against the ring apron as Purple moves to the side of the ring and rolls to the outside. As she comes around the ringpost, Krystal kicks out with a dropkick that sends Purple into the barricade and to the floor. Krystal gets to her feet and rolls into the ring to stop the count. Looking back to the outside, she rushes across the ring then hits the athletics check corkscrew plancha on the slowly rising Royal Purple. Both women lay on the mats on the outside catching their breath as the limited crowd shouts and cheers their respect for both women. Krystal is to her feet first and looks up at Summers as he is at five. Krystal rolls under the bottom rope as Purple gets to the ringsteps and pulls herself up on the steel, resting as Summers checks on Krystal then moves to begin the count on Purple on the outside. At seven, Purple pulls herself up on the apron. Krystal moves to the ropes where Royal Purple uses a shoulder block into the midsection that doubles Krystal over and sends her staggering towards the center of the ring.
Adams: That could have been bad for Krystal.
Simone: But wait, there is more…Purple is climbing to the top.
Purple moves to the corner and climbs on the turnbuckles and then balancing on the top rope, she watches as Krystal straightens up and as she turns, Purple stands then launches herself off the top rope with a missile dropkick but Krystal sees it coming and throws herself out of the way letting Purple land awkwardly on the canvas. Krystal moves to pick Purple up and then kicks her in the midsection. Doubled over, Purple's head is pulled between the legs of Wolfe then Krystal catches the body of Purple and lifts her up with a piledriver. Purple is laid out on the mat as Krystal rolls backwards and then crawls to make the pin. Summers drops and hits the canvas twice before Purple in a last ditch effort pulls her shoulder off the mat. Krystal turns to Drew who holds up two fingers. Sitting back on her heels, Krystal shakes her head as Purple rolls towards the ropes. Krystal gets to her feet and then moves to the ropes where she grabs Purple and pulls her to her feet. Purple sways as Krystal backs away far enough to hit a superkick that has Purple sagging in the corner. Krystal pulls her off the corner and then pins her for the three.
Simone:Krystal gets her choice of briefcases with that pin.
Krystal leans back and then crawls towards the ropes to pull herself up. Violet has been resting and then gets to Krystal and kicks her in the midsection to catch her and uses a snap suplex near the corner where Purple is climbing the turnbuckles.
Simone:Oh no, Violet just hands Purple the chance for another pin.
Purple gets to the top rope then launches towards Krystal with a frog splash that Krystal avoids by rolling into the corner. Purple clutches her midsection in pain as she curls up holding her stomach. Krystal pulls herself up by the ropes. Violet gets to her feet and staggers towards Krystal and rocks her back with a surprise dropkick in the corner. Krystal is dropped like a stone as Violet works her way to her feet and then reaches down for the head of Krystal and pulls her to her feet and out of the corner. Pulling the head of Wolfe to her side, Violet picks her up and then hits her finisher that lays out Wolfe. Rolling her over, Violet grabs a leg and pulls it over the head of Krystal as Summers makes the count.
Adams: Three pins and each bombshell will have their choice of briefcases...
The three bombshells make their way out of the ring and slowly move up the ramp to where the table holding the briefcases is. Purple reaches it first and picks the middle briefcase. Violet chooses the one on the right and Krystal is left with the one on the left. Standing behind the briefcases the three bombshells open the cases. Violet looks disappointed as she reveals an empty briefcase. Purple angrily throws hers as Krystal reaches into the briefcase and pulls out the title belt to hold it up high.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, and new Bombshell Roulette champion, Krystal Wolfe!
Adams: What a different concept for a title match.
Simone:Congratulations to Krystal Wolfe, the new Bombshell Roulette champion.
Krystal celebrates at the top of the ramp as her music plays.
As she picks herself up from the mat, Royal Purple steps away from the title changing hands, clicking her fingers at a member of staff at ringside.
Adams: It looks like the former champion is about to break up the celebrations here, she's asking for a microphone...
Royal Purple: Now I hate to interrupt...congratulations by the way...
She nods in respect to the new champion.
Royal Purple: But I think it's time I let you guys in on a little secret...
Simone: One of the worst kept little secrets...
Adams: Here we go people, the mask is coming off!
Royal Purple's hands move to the base of the GRIME mask, the sound of the microphone bumping against the mask ringing around the PA as she removes it, shaking her dyed-purple hair out of her face, revealing her face to the audience. Even without her trademark blonde hair, a small pocket of the crowd opens up with a chant of "FUTURE...FUTURE…" and, as often happens, it starts to catch on.
Adams: Ah - That makes sense actually.
Simone: So it turns out Royal Purple is Faith Simpson, and after her 100+ club reign as Bombshell Roulette champion, that makes it the teenager's fourth singles title.
Adams: She's a teenager!?!
Simone: She's 19, Jason.
Adams: That's just not faaaaair!
Faith: So I never wanted to win a title...I came here and put this mask on to hide, because I was going through some stuff, ya know? ...but me being me, I guess I couldn't help myself and now what is it, nearly four months later? It's time for someone else to take the crown for a while. See, for me...like...nobody ever told me it wasn't okay to lose sometimes. I just put all this weight on my own shoulders, worried I was letting people down, like they were giving up all their time and stuff for me and they'd be disappointed in me and then umm...I started drinking, cause it felt like something a normal teenager would try, not a multi-time champion pro wrestler. It made me feel more normal in a way? I guess I wanna say that umm...you don't have to win at everything right away. It's okay to lose. It's okay to have a bad night. It's okay to try new things just...learn from your mistakes. Make sure they help you get better, not make things worse...
Simone: Well this is a completely different character to that little nightmare Royal Purple
Adams: Does she have to say 'like' so much? That's like...so annoying and stuff!
Faith: I think the lowest point was when my biggest supporter...It's Mark by the way, he's challenging for the World Heavyweight title tonight, think you know him?
The crowd cheers in acknowledgement.
Faith: Thought so...yeah...it was that night before I lost to Ruby, when he had to stick his fingers down my throat, so I could at least perform, where I really knew I'd gone too far. I thought losing matches would be what disappointed him the most but really...it was only me losing grip on myself. He thought he'd taught me better than that. I owe a lot of apologies to him, to his team, and a lot of other people and umm...I'll get to that soon but tonight...for once it's the turn of me, and everyone else he trains at the gym to be proud of him. He's like the big brother we all wish we could have and...I think he'll be a great champion for you guys if he wins.
Simone: I don't think many share that sentiment, listening to a lot of the talk backstage.
Adams: Everyone's got their opinions...
Faith: But umm...yeah, I'm gonna stop rambling at y'all, imma go backstage and grab a vodka and soda!
The crowd falls silent, you can almost hear a pin drop.
Faith: Ooooooonly kidding! Gotcha! Psyche!
The referee moves closer, whispering something in Faith's ear as he points to his watch.
Faith: Cool...OK yeah, so I'm gonna go...umm...thanks for everything, see ya!
Krystal Wolfe emerges from the curtains and into the gorilla position, the newly won Roulette Championship belt over her shoulder, where she was greeted enthusiastically by her Team Go cohorts in SCU, Helluva Bottom Carter and Ariana Angelos, in a jubilant group hug!
Ariana: Congratulations, Krystal!
The three jump up and down, wrapped in the group hug, in celebrating.
HBCarter: Just think! I've got a title! Now Kryssy has a title! Two down, and one to go!
He winks at his BFF Ariana and gives her the ol' "bang bang" salute, before patting his hand on the Combat title belt around his own waist. Ari smiles at the confidence her bestie displays for her. Krystal steps back, sighing in exultation, then looks at Carter.
Krystal: Speaking of... you best get ready yourself.
HBCarter: Ready for what?
Krystal raises her eyebrows.
Krystal: Erm, your title defense? Kickboxing match? Ring a bell?
HBCarter: Yeeeaaah? I'm ready.
Krystal steps back and looks Carter over and his attire; rather than loose boxing shorts, we was wearing black, latex booty shorts laced up at the sides, a Team Go belly shirt and her eyes widen when she sees his shin guards and the boxing gloves he has in his perfectly manicured hands before putting them on and lacing them up. Both covered in Bedazzler 'jewels.'
HBCarter: And I'll tell you one thing...
The girls look at him as he inspects his nails.
HBCarter: If he makes me chip my mani, I'm going to be pissed!
Ari smiles and takes her arms into Carter and Krystal's own and she practically skips off camera.
The camera opens up backstage just outside a supply closet, where O'Malley is seen standing against the wall with his arms folded. Some crashes can be heard coming from inside the closet and O'Malley just shakes his head and lets out a sigh. Judging by the look on his face, he knows exactly who is in that closet. After another crash is heard, O'Malley can no longer let this go on and he starts pounding on the door!
O'Malley: Alright, Alistair! This is getting ridiculous! Get yer arse…
O'Malley can't even finish that sentence as the door bursts open. He had expected to see Carter running out once again, or perhaps Jamie Dean again, but who he sees instead shocks him even more! O'Malley takes a few steps back as none other than TEMPEST emerges from the closet with a satisfied smirk on her face, but it quickly fades and she snarls as she walks past O'Malley fixing her hair!
O'Malley: What the f…
O'Malley slowly turns his attention back to the closet as his promiscuous brother emerges, his hair a mess as he works to try and fix up his suit, but given the state of it seems impossible. O'Malley's jaw is dropped as he points in the direction Tempest had gone.
O'Malley: How…??
Alistair catches his breath and leans against the wall before answering.
Alistair: SHE dragged ME in there! And to tell you the truth, I rather enjoyed it…
O'Malley: Feckin' hell, Alistair! Yer this close to bein' banned from any future shows!
O'Malley storms off in a huff, shaking his head. Alistair just grins and shrugs as he follows behind his brother and the scene fades.
Justin moves to enter the ring and brings the microphone to his lips as Dawn checks the ropes of the ring.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…Introducing first...
As "Radio Gaga" by Queen prominently plays throughout the arena, "Da Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like a hustling, bustling housewife practicing aerobics. She performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar) to indicate she's taken. Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction and her next opponent.
Justin: From Los Angeles California, she is Azurine Vebbins! And her opponent…
Adams: This young woman is making a name for herself in Sin City Wrestling.
Simone: That is well and good but she is up against a former champion and speaking of...
The lights dim as pink fog starts to take over the entrance ramp. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard begins to play over the speakers as the lights brighten up. Pink pyro begins to cascade down from the tron as Candy comes bouncing out holding Fluffy. She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before getting in the ring and bouncing around some more.
Justin: From Malibu California, she is Candy!
Adams: Former Roulette champion Candy looks ready to wrestle here tonight. And aww look at Fluffy, so cute.
Dawn motions for both women to move to the center of the ring. Candy comes closer as does Azurine. Dawn speaks to both then turns away as Azurine and Candy enthusiastically shake hands.
Simone: It looks like it is going a friendly match tonight.
DING DING DING!
The pair back away and begin to circle. Azurine lunges in with a grappling move but Candy quickly ducks under the grab and races for the ropes to rebound off them charging in with a shoulder block. The impact with Azurine sends Candy to the mat. Azurine laughs as she reaches down and pulls Candy to her feet with one hand. Picking her up, Azurine uses a scoop slam that has Candy arching in pain. Azurine pushes Candy to the mat and leans down with one hand to hold her in a pin. Candy kicks out quickly and rolls away as Azurine smiles at Dawn who motions for the one count. She turns to go after Candy who hits a dropkick on the woman. Azurine staggers backwards and brings her hand up to her face checking for blood. Seeing none, she charges towards Candy who had backed up to the ropes. Seeing the young woman coming at her, Candy drops as she pulls down the top rope which sends Azurine to the floor. Azurine lands on the floor and then against the barricade. Arching her back, she fights her way to her feet as Candy moves to the ropes and holds them open for Vebbins to come back into the ring. Azurine watches cautiously as she climbs on the apron as Candy bounces on the middle rope in invitation. Vebbins climbs inside and then nods in respect to Candy. The pair once more circle then lock up in a collar and elbow tie up that neither woman can leverage enough until Azurine turns enough to force Candy into a headlock that she chains into a hammerlock that brings Candy up on her toes.
Adams: What a friendly match that Candy and Azurine are having with Candy offering to hold open the ropes.
Candy fights her way to the ropes and puts one foot through them to break the hold. Azurine lets go and holds her hands up as she backs away from Candy who steps back into the ring and begins to shake some feeling into the arm that had been hammerlocked. Azurine moves towards Candy who holds up her hands in a bid for stopping Vebbins which has the woman stop and straighten up. Candy uses a bit of the distraction to grab the arm of Vebbins and whips her into the corner before rushing in and hitting a monkey flip on Azurine that sends her skidding along the canvas into the middle of the ring. Arching her back, Azurine brings a hand to her lower back in pain as she fights to her hands and knees. Candy rushes off the ropes and hits a bulldog on the slowly rising Azurine. Vebbins bounces off the canvas and flops to her stomach. She reaches up to her face and curls into a fetal position. Candy rolls over then quickly crawls towards the downed Vebbins and rolls her up for a three count but Azurine is able to force her shoulder up before Dawn can count the three. Candy sits back on her heels and slaps at the mat unhappily then gets to her feet.
Simone: Candy almost had this match won with that bulldog Jason.
Azurine rolls to the ropes and reaches up to the middle rope to pull herself up to her knees. Candy gets to her feet and moves towards Azurine who pushes herself up to her feet then towards Candy. Azurine is caught by Candy but manages to twist through the hold then catches the neck of Candy and hits a neckbreaker that has Candy grabbing her head in pain and kicking at the mat. Azurine sits up slowly as she is slower in the ring. Candy moves to her hands and knees. Vebbins gets to her feet first and then moves towards Candy who she picks up by her wrist and then pulls her into a headlock against her side then throws the arm of Candy over her shoulder then hits a snap suplex on Candy that has her arching in pain on the mat. Azurine rolls over and pins Candy to the mat but only gets a two. Azurine gets to her feet and pulls Candy up as well. Vebbins attempts to pull her in again for a belly to belly suplex but Candy blocks it before turning the hold into a suplex of her own. Both women lay on the mat breathing heavily as Dawn checks on both and begins a count. Candy is first to her feet with a hand at her back. Azurine also makes her way out of the ring where she leans against the ring apron to try to recover.
Adams: Both of these women are going above and beyond in this match.
Simone: From the looks of it, the first person to make a mistake will be the first to lose.
Candy reaches over and through the ropes to grab Azurine by the head and pulls her up into the ring. Candy fights to get Azurine into the ring where she is able to pull her up and into a fishermans suplex that Dawn drops to count but Azuring kicks out at two. Candy releases the hold as Azurine rolls to the side. Candy rushes to the corner then climbing the turnbuckles, she straightens up on the top turnbuckle as Azurine slowly gets to her feet. Turning to face the corner where Candy has climbed to the top, Azurine is surprised by a flying Candy who drops her with a missile dropkick. Candy rolls to her hands and knees quickly as Vebbins moves to roll to the ropes. Azurine pulls herself up slowly as Candy approaches her to grab her by the wrist and whips her into the opposite ropes only to catch her with a kick to the midsection when Vebbins rebounds off the opposite ropes. Candy bounces off the ropes and then hits the neckbreaker that sends Azurine to the mat. Candy gets to her feet and watches as Azurine rolls on the mat and tries to get up to her feet where she staggers slowly. Suddenly, Candy is able to hit her death by chocolate finisher on Vebbins who is sent spinning to the mat near the ropes. Candy moves to roll up Azurine but when she does, Vebbins manages to put her foot on the bottom rope. Candy sits back and then pulls Azurine away from the ropes and once more pins her to the mat.
Simone: It looks like Candy has taken control of the match.
Dawn drops to the mat and then begins to count the pin.
Simone: Will Azurine be able to escape the pin.
Azurine is kicking hard as she fights the pin but Candy pulls her legs up higher so that her shoulders are forced to the mat.
ONE!
Adams: Azurine is fighting it.
TWO!
Adams: She is so close!
Simone: Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades and there is Dawn with the three count.
THREE!
Adams: Candy has won the match tonight.
Candy straightens up then gets to her feet as Azurine lays there on the mat breathing deeply.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Candy!
Candy reaches down and helps Azurine to her feet then gives her an enthusiastic hug. Turning quickly, Candy moves to the corner where she climbs the turnbuckles as Azurine makes her way out of the ring and up the aisle.
Adams: Great show of sportsmanship from Candy.
Candy continues to celebrate in the ring as her theme plays.
The backstage door swings open rather harshly as we see Bella Madison steps through, hair pulled back, street clothes on and look of purpose on her face.
Bella Madison: I'M HERE!
She throws out her arms and looks around like she's waiting for someone.
Bella Madison: NOTHING?!? REALLY??
Nothing happens and she just laughs.
Bella Madison: I should've known. You'll only attack me when my back is turned!
Bella seems to be yelling into the void, which catches the attention of head reporter, Pussy Willow.
Pussy: Bella? I thought you weren't medically cleared to be here?
Bella Madison: Medically, I'm not cleared for the ring YET. About a week away from that...Mentally I am 100 percent don't give a sugar coated fuck and I want ANSWERS. I have been waiting for 2 weeks, patiently to find out what chicken shit bitch had the scrote to attack me. I KNOW that there has to be someone out there that knows SOMETHING and won't say shit because they know that I am about to fuck their entire world up.
Pussy: What exactly are you planning on doing?
Bella smirks.
Bella Madison: Show them exactly why I am "Second-Gen NOT to be fucked with".
And with that she makes turns on her heels and continues her search with a loud "COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE"
Darlyn: The following contest is a Kickboxing Match scheduled for 5 3 minute rounds, and is for the SCU Combat Championship! The judges will calculate the scores at the end of each round, and the winner with the highest score, or Knockout of three takedowns or a ten count on the ground, or TKO by referee stoppage, will be declared the winner!
The cameras look over to see Blasted Monk, Gianni Di Luca, and Gen-Ichii Ikeda at the judges table. Each take their turns waving to the cameras.
The lights in the arena go out and Eyesnsane in his wrestling gear steps through the curtain and onto the stage.
Darlyn: On his way to the ring, from Chicago, IL standing at 6'2" and weighing in at 230lb, he is...Eyesnsane!!!
Once he is in place the music starts and at the 15 second mark of the song as the arena hears, "Here I am" a blue spot light shines on Eyesnsane as he looks slowly to the left and then to the right before slowly walking down to the ring where he uses the steps to get on the ring apron and then climbs in the ring between the second and top rope. He walks to the center of the ring and turns and looks throughout the entire arena as the music plays before the lights return to normal.
Glee Cast Version of "I Know What Boys Like" begins to play and Carter steps through the curtains, holding an ankle length, sleeveless black robe closed in front of him. he then whips it open, revealing his ring attire of a printed belly t, booty shorts and thigh high boots. He holds one hand behind his head while running the other hand down his body while grinding his hips to the music.
Darlyn:From Seattle, Washington, weighing 176 pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!
Carter drops the robe to the stage and runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and then lays across the top corner, awaiting the start of the match/his opponent's introduction.
DING DING DING!
Chad: These two have fought on numerous occasions, and Helluva Bottom Carter has surprised everyone by getting the best of every encounter.
Gena: This, however, is way out of Carter's element. It will be surprising if he can last one round in this match, let alone retaining the title.
Chad: Carter knows it, and he is keeping a distance as Eyes follows him, trying to close the gap. Carter dodges a high kick, ducking under it. Instinct nearly kicks in as he attempts to grab the leg.
Gena: At the last possible second, he moves his hands and steps back. But he surprises Eyes, and the crowd, as he kicks Eyes' knee out, taking him down to the mat, on one knee.
Chad: Carter nails a few punches to the back of Eyes' head and then steps back as Eyes rises up. He catches Carter with a fakeout kick followed up with a right cross that spins Carter on his heels.
Gena: Carter goes into the corner, and Eyes follows up, ready to assault with a barrage of punches, but Carter uses his speed advantage and moves out from under him.
Chad: He nails kicks to Eyes' back that surprise him. It allows Carter to get a few more punches to the back of the head and he steps back, sensing Eyes is finding his footing.
Gena: Ring awareness and intuition is on Carter's side tonight! He steps lightly on his feet as he moves around the ring, avoiding the very skilled Eyesnsane.
Chad: He goes in for another strike, but Eyes sweeps the legs out from under Carter, and as Carter tries to rise up, he hits a sliding side kick to Carter's face, keeping him down!
DING DING DING!
Darlyn: The judges have entered their scores for the first round. Eyesnsane: 9, Carter: 8!
Gena: Carter is back on his feet, shaking it off and showing that he's not finished yet. He steps back to his corner where Ariana Angelos gives him some water and converses.
Chad: Eyes holds his arms up in his corner as Dax Beckett hands him a towel. They fist bump as the one minute resting period comes to an end.
DING DING DING!
Gena: Eyes does not expect Carter to come out of his corner swinging wildly. Carter lands more punches than Eyes would ever want to admit, but he blocks more than half of them.
Chad: He sends Carter flying back with an Uppercut for the Gods! He follows up with rotating knees to Carter's sides, backing him into the corner once more.
Gena: Eyes hits a Superkick that...NO! Carter moves out of the way and he is the one to hit a Superkick to the back of Eyes' head! Eyes is down!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Chad: Eyes is stirring. He starts to get up, and Carter goes for a low kick, but Eyes punches the foot away and then kicks the back of Carter's knees one at a time.
Gena: Carter buckles, but instead of going down, he stumbles toward the ropes to grab on for support. As Eyes comes at him, Carter spins out of the way and kicks Eyes right into the corner.
Chad: Carter doesn't give an inch as he assaults Eyes with kicks and punches, lefts, rights, jabs, knee! Knee! Knee! Uppercut, and he backs away as Eyes goes down to the mat again!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Gena: Carter doesn't give him the space as he does a high Cheerleader kick, grabbing onto his leg as the crowd goes wild. He drops it down like an ax on Eyesnsane!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
TEN!
DING DING DING!
Darlyn: As a result of a Knockout, your winner and STILL SCU Combat Champion..."Helluva Bottom" Carter!!!
Crowd: HELL YEAHHHHHHH!!!
"I Know What Boys Like" plays over the speakers as Carter is joined by Ariana, who brings him the belt. She and the referee raise his arms up after he places the belt around his waist. He prances around to the delight of the crowd.
The curtains at the gorilla position are thrown open and a battered and bruised Helluva Bottom Carter emerges with the aid of his bestie Ariana Angelos. She is holding his arm draped over one shoulder while carrying for him the Combat title on her other. Carter has a beautiful shiner beneath one eye, his lips swollen and his nose has looked better, crimson trailing from both nostrils.
Krystal comes running up.
Krystal: You did it! You did it! You did it!
Carter just nods as best he can and Ariana can't help but wrap her arms around his neck for a big hug.
HBCarter: Owowowow!
Ariana: Oh, sorry! I'm sorry!
Marissa: Carter?
Heads turn and there stands Carter's absolute favorite roving reporter, SCU's Marissa Henry. Ari and Krystal help settle him into a seated position on the edge of a table while helping get his boxing gloves off.
Marissa: Carter, congratulations! You overcame some serious odds and retained your Combat title! WHERE on earth did you learn to kick box on such short notice?
Carter is sucking in deep breaths, his sore ribs not making it any easier.
HBCarter: Crash course at the GO Gym. I-I...
Ariana gets one glove off and Carter immediately sees his chipped mani...
HBCarter: Aw NUTS!
Ariana and Krystal share a look, then look at Marissa.
Ariana: This kind of condition he's in and THAT'S what bothers him!
Bill and Bea Barnhart are seen in the hallway outside their dressing room at the Golden Ring Casino. Bill and Bea are in their trademark wrestling outfits and they are standing with Sin City Wrestling Interviewer Scott Oliver.
Scott: I'm here with Bill and Bea Barnhart as they get ready to take part in the Mixed Tag Team Championship match against the team of Kate Steele and Teddy Warren. Bill how do you feel going into this match?
Bill: Scott I can't believe you opened this session with a question like that. You know I always go into into every match with enthusiasm and with the mindset that I'm going to win. This match is no different than all my other matches except that facing Kate and Teddy simply means this will be an easy win for us.
Scott: Talk about oozing confidence! How about you Bea?
Bea: I feel like Bill does. I'm confident this will be an easy match for us and we'll walk away as Mixed Tag Team Champions.
Scott: Are you basing your feelings based on you previously mentioning that you feel if Kate and Teddy had to face Kris and Mikah, instead of Mikah and Coby they would not have defeated the team of Black Sheep for the Mixed Tag Team Championship?
Bill: Exactly! Had they defeated the Black Sheep with Kris on the team, instead of Black Sheep with Coby on the team, I'd say we're going into an even-up match against Teddy and Kate. But since they did not beat the "A" team, they defeated a team of half the talent, that equates into an easy win for our team.
Scott: In closing I would like to ask both of you to issue one statement that you feel best describes your match.
Bea: Karma is a bitch and you two can kiss my ass!
Bill: Remember the Before and After images I presented leading up to our match and you two realize you are total bullshit.
Scott: Uh, okay, that was different. Thanks for your time with this interview session.
Bea: Always a pleasure to be interviewed by you.
Bill: Thanks for the interview Scott.
Bill and Bea turn away from Scott Oliver and start their walk down the hallway to be at the staging area to be ready to make their entrance for their match.
Drew Patton climbs through the ropes as the upcoming match is ready to begin.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is for the World Mixed Tag Team Championship!
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 along with his wife and tag team partner, Bea Barnhart. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to the Barnharts.
Justin: Making their way toward the ring are the challengers! "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart! Bea Barnhart! THE BARNHARTS!
The husband and wife team make their way to the ring where Bill sets the chalice in their corner as he climbs up on the ring apron and holds the ropes open for Bea. Bill then enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner with Bea.
Justin: And their opponents!
The entire arena goes dark. All of a sudden the titantron lights up and we see Diamond Steele on the tron with a guitar in her hand. She breaks out into a solo before another version of Kate appears on the screen beside her with her red guitar and fiery red hair. Playing the melody to accompany her solo. Todd begins playing a bass guitar on the screen as a different version of him appears wearing a braided hairstyle. Todd Warren bangs on the drums as hard as he can. The music continues to play but the screen fades out leaving everyone in darkness. As The we can hear Ignorant Discord's cover of Through the Fire and the Flames
Moments later we are able to see two figures wearing light up jackets emerge onto the stage in the darkness. They have their backs turned and the words Ignorant appear on the back one, and Discord on the other. One of them is wearing a microphone as they begin speaking into it.
Kate: And introducing to the ring. The most awesome Emo, punk, rock band to ever grace the wrestling world. Sexy Teddy Todd Warren, Kate Steele-Warren. Ladies and gentlemen we are YOUR World Mixed Tag Team Champions! IGNORANT DISCORDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!
The lights turn back on and as they do we are able to see Todd Warren with drum sticks in his hands. He slaps them together before he launches them into the audience. Kate begins moshing out on the stage and a she jumps high at the end of it as a set of Pyro explodes. She catches up with Todd and the two of them sprint down to the ring. They both slide into the ring. Kate and Todd take off their Iggy Dis shirts and throw them into the audience as they bounce about waiting for the match to begin.
Kate and Teddy pass their championship belts over to Drew who shows the title belts to the Barnharts, Bill slapping the gold plate with one hand. Drew then holds both belts up high for the crowd on hand before passing them out to the waiting hands of Justin.
Adams:And it looks like the men are going to start!
Indeed as both Bea and Kate step out to their respective corners and grab the tag ropes, waiting as Bill and Teddy turn to one another.
DING DING DING!
Bill and Teddy emerge from their respective corners, ready to lock up. They briefly circle the ring and pause, staring one another down. They then move for the tie up but Teddy quickly ducks under and lands a rapid fist to Bill's midsection in doing so. A smiling Teddy looks to the fans and his wife as he does his dancing boxer shuffle as Bill sllllowly turns around to stare at him. Teddy beckons Bill to 'come on' and Bill does, and they move for the lock up again and AAGIN - Teddy dodges it and this time lands a kidney shot to the Bulldog!
Simone: You know, Teddy is going to end up regretting intentionally antagonizing Bill like this.
Adams: Yes but think how much WE'RE going to enjoy it.
Teddy dances again and shadow boxes as Bill closes his eyes, fuming. He turns around and stares Teddy down who pumps his fists and dares Bill to come at him. They go for the lock up for a THIRD time, and Teddy AGAIN goes to duck and dodge, but THIS time Bill grabs him by the hair and slams him back down to the mat! Teddy hops to his feet and a haymaker from the Bulldog lays him out again! Teddy jumps up and wash, rinse, repeat! Teddy staggers to his feet, upright, and the Bulldog PLOWS into him with a running spear, driving him back into the corner where he lays into him with stiff body blows and knee strikes!
Simone: You can not say I didn't warn you Teddy!
Adams: And you can't say I was wrong because I AM enjoying this!
Drew orders the break and Bill complies by Irish whipping Teddy at high speed into the far corner! Teddy dodges ala Ric Flair with a cartwheel to the ring apron, but before he can celebrate, Bill has him by the head and flips him back inside of the ring the hard way! Bill sends him into the ropes and ducks for a back body drop but Teddy kicks him in the chest. Teddy then comes off the ropes for the attack and right into a spine buster! Bill with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Teddy kicks out!
And before Bill can follow up, Teddy manages to get to his corner and tag Kate into the match.
Adams: Boooo!
Simone: Smart move, though. Teddy knew he was in trouble and he got out of there.
Adams: And now we'll see if Kate has better luck.
The Bombshells step inside of the ring and quickly rushes her for a dropkick but the experienced Kate jumps aside and Bea lands on her back and back of her head. Kate quickly pulls her to her feet and sends Bea into the ropes and sends her into a 360 spin with a hard knee to the midsection! Kate then drags her to her feet and sets her up for another Irish whip but Bea holds on and reverses it. Kate comes off and Bea swings for a lariat but Kate ducks under from behind and throws her over with a release German suplex!
Simone: And it indeed does look as if Kate has turned the tide for the champions.
Kate jumps over Bea and into the ropes, using the middle rope as a launching pad for a leg drop against Bea! Kate rolls her over and hooks the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Bea gets her shoulder up!
Kate pulls her up as Bea tries to fend her off with a number of fists to Steele's midsection. Kate breaks this up with a roundhouse kick that drops Bea to her knees. Kate pulls Bea up and Irish whips her into the ropes for another martial arts kick, but this time Bea blocks it, grabbing her leg. Kate attempts an Enzugari but Bea ducks it, and the MOMENT Kate lands on her chest and stomach, Bea drops on her back and locks in the Camel Clutch!
Adams: Ohh! Bea was just WAITING for that!
Drew is down and checking on Kate but she steadfastly REFUSES to tap out and lose the championship! She uses her forearms to drag herself ever closer to the ring ropes and she reaches for the bottom rope, but Bea releases the hold and drags her back to the center of the ring. Bea grabs her to set her up for another hold but this time Kate kicks her off and scrambles to her corner and tags out!
Simone: The champions have indeed been playing this safe. The MOMENT either gets into trouble, they tag out.
The men are in the ring again, and things pick up right where they left off as Bill careens right into Teddy before he can move and he bulldozes him back into the corner! Bill starts to drive his shoulder again and again into Teddy's midsection as Drew counts to force the break!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And Bill breaks! Bill then sends him hard into the neutral corner and charges in, but Teddy leapfrogs up and over him and Bill goes through the turnbuckles and hits the post!
Adams: Oh NO!
Simone: That one mistake could cost the challengers this match!
Bill staggers back slowly, holding his arm and shoulder, and Teddy grabs and twists his bad arm into a hammerlock DDT! Teddy rolls him over for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Bill kicks out!
Adams: It's going to take a LOT to put the big guy down!
Simone: But now Teddy is like a shark that smells blood! He is on the attack!
Indeed as Teddy stands and he begins to lay in the boots to Bill's bad arm and shoulder, further worsening it and adding insult to injury! Teddy then twists his arm into a hammerlock again and somersaults over into a bridge, adding excruciating leverage to the hold!
Adams: OWW! Look how far back Teddy has Bulldog's arm twisted!
Bill's face is crimson red from the pain of the hold but he refuses to give Teddy the satisfaction of a submission! Seeking another means to victory, Teddy releases the hold and stands up behind Bill, dancing his boxer's shuffle as he watches and waits for Bill to rise, favoring his arm. Once he regains his footing, Teddy grabs him and hits a spinning neck breaker and another cover, hooking BOTH legs!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Kick out by Bill!
Simone: There is still life in the Bulldog!
Staring first at Bill, and then complaining to Drew, Teddy finally gets up and he ascends to the top of the nearest corner. Bill rises, clearly in pain, and he turns around -- Teddy goes for a missile dropkick - BUT BILL MOVES AND TEDDY CRASHES!
Adams: Now's his chance!
Simone: Bill needs this tag!
Bill crawls toward his corner, and slowly Teddy does the same! But Bill reaches first and tags his wife! Bea vaults into the ring as Kate quickly climbs through the ropes herself! Bea rushes Kate but Kate leapfrogs up and over her! Kate rushes into the ropes and Bea drops down! Kate runs over her and rebounds and right into a shoulder tackle that floors Kate! Kate sits up as Bea comes off the ropes and Bea jumps on her with a low rider Meteora, hooking both legs under her arms!
ONE!
TWO!
Kate kicks out!
Bea pulls her to her feet and sends her hard enough into the corner that Kate stumbles out. Bea comes off the near ropes for the Bea Bulldog, but Kate counters and drops her instead with a belly to back suplex, dumping her on the back of her head! Kate sits up for a moment and smiles, tapping a forefinger to her head. Kate then stands and peels Bea from the mat and she sends her into the corner and comes right in with a running Yakuza kick! Bea staggers from the corner, seemingly out on her feet, falls to her knees and then rolls to her back. Bulldog shouts encouragement to his wife while Kate runs to Teddy for a quick kiss.
Simone: Wasting time for a kiss? Not a smart thing to do in a championship match.
Kate then walks over to the fallen Bea and she casually lays back across her sternum with a leg hooked for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
But suddenly Bea reverses it into a Crucifix pin, Kate's legs kicking wildly!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Adams: What... WHAT!?
Justin: Here are you winners! And the NEEWWWW World Mixed Tag Team Champions! Bea Barnhart! "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart! THE BARNHARTS!!!!
Simone: They did it! Oh my god, they actually DID IT!
Kate sits up, a look of shock on her face as Teddy stands on the outside, frozen in surprise! Drew hands the title belts over to the Barnharts as a jubilant Bea jumps into the Bulldog's arms to celebrate, raising their championship titles high into the air!
Simone: I knew it! I KNEW that Kate wasting that precious time would cost them!
Adams: And with his wife Bea, "Bulldog" Bill has won his FIRST SCW championship!
The new champions continue to celebrate as a dejected Kate and Teddy exit the ring, thoroughly dejected.
Bella Madison and Malachi are seen walking down the hall.
Bella: What's more of a salad? Fruit salad or potato salad?
Malachi: What even IS a salad?
Hey, Bella! Welcome back!
Before she even had the chance to turn around, Bella is attacked from behind by Mercedes Vargas. Mercedes wastes no time as she starts her attack on the former World Mixed Tag Team Champion. This turns totally one sided, with Mercedes dominating the action before Bella regroups and makes a brief comeback. More back and forth for a second as Mercedes sends Bella to the floor before kicking her in the face, ending her night. Just then, referees and security are on the scene. The security prevent Mercedes from getting close to the downed Bella being attended to by Jasmine St. John and Jacob Summers. Pleased with her handiwork, Mercedes backs away from the security before turning around and walking off elsewhere.
The cameras cut inside the private dressing room of Char Kwan as her advocate Mr. Chalmers is standing next to his client and Scott Oliver.
Oliver: Mr. Chalmers, you requested this time, may I ask why?
Mr. Chalmers looks at the man.
Mr. Chalmers: For the past two weeks, my client has dealt with ignorance from these so called athletes in this queen for a day match. The fact they have the nerve to say my client doesn't belong shows how little they respect my client.
Oliver: To be fair, she hasn't shown any respect to anyone either.
Mr. Chalmers looks at Scott with a look of pure disgust on his face.
Mr. Chalmers: My client is a former SCW Mixed Tag Team Champion. She also is a very skilled striker but does any mention that no. All they can focus on is how many times she lost. Tell me something, since when does having a loss make someone a loser. Alicia Lukas suffered tons of losses including brain cells. My client doesn't need to respect an egocentric bimbo who constantly talks about her accomplishments.
Oliver: But she has been successful while your client has been a mere stepping stone.
Mr. Chalmers: I ask for you to come in here and all you want to do is disrespect my client. My client hasn't been given the same opportunities that Lukas has been given. In fact, my client is usually sitting in here feeling has though someone doesn't want to see an Asian succeed. My client busts her ass every time she's in that ring. Tonight, she will become Queen for a day. Why? Because it's time someone else succeeded for once.
Scott shakes his head as Mr. Chalmers shews him away.
Justin Decent: The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich is led through the entranceway by her wife and tag team partner, Crystal Hilton. The two make their way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers them on.
Justin Decent: Now coming to the ring, standing 5'10 and weighing in at 125 pounds from Halmstead Sweden, she is a former SCW bombshells champion...SELEANA ZDUNICH!
"Liar Liar" starts to play as soon as the chorus hits Lucy jumps out from the stage and tosses her cloak off. Lucy looks around and starts to swiftly moves down the ramp. Lucy jumps onto the stairs and climbs over the turnbuckle. She flips herself in and goes to the center. She screams loudly and gets ready to fight.
Justin Decent: And her opponent standing 5'9 and weighing in at 121 pounds from MOSCOW RUSSIA, Lucy Seraphina!
DING DING DING!

They nod at each other and circle around the six sided ring.

Sel pops up and gets the crowd behind her, Lucy gets to her feet and Seleana hits the ropes throws herself from the ring to the floor with a suicide dive. She lands and Lucy hits the barricade.

ONE!
TWO!
Lucy kicks out!
Adams: A fast start to this match, and it went how I expected. Lucy tried to ground the amazingly athletic Seleana Zdunich but Seleana was able to break free and fly;
Simone: Lucy has to take control of this, she has to keep Seleana from gaining distance and being able to hit and run
Adams: Easier said than done though Belinda. Seleana is an amazing athlete and a former Bombshells champion. She is also alot better than many people give her credit for.
Seleana stays on Lucy pulling her up and backing her into the ropes, she irish whips her across the ring and ducks down for a back body drop, Lucy though is able to stop and kicks Seleana in the chest standing her up, Lucy grabs Seleana and hitsd a few hard headbutss before whipping her over by her hair with a snapmare.

Simone: That is the chance you take with those moves, high rick, high reward but also a high chance at failure.
Adams: If Seleana had hit that cats eye it would haver been hard for Lucy to kick out, she was fortunate to be able to move so all the damage was done to Seleana.
Lucy looks over at Seleana with a smile and gets to her feet, Sel holds her stomach and gets to her knees, Lucy hits a side kick right to Sels face and stuns her but before Sel can fall all the way back to the mat Lucy grabs her by the hair pulling her up to her feet and getting her into position for a fishermans suplex, she hooks Sels leg and picks her up and throws her over right into a bridge for a pin

Simone: Caleb is looking to win the Roulette Title for the second time tonight!
Adams: He's up against two members of Wolfslair though so that's a tall task.
As the album ends, he is approached by Ms. Rocky Mountains.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Caleb, can I get your thoughts on the Roulette Title Match before I go to spin the wheel?
Caleb: What's there to say? I was already fighting an uphill battle before I learned that Miles is a member of Wolfslair but now that I know that and with Alex in the match?
Caleb adds before kicking off the wall.
Caleb: But at the end of the day, there can only be one Roulette Champion and it's been too long since I won the gold! Alex's only defence was against Bill Barnhart for fuck's sake! This is his first time defending against actual competition and he's going to fail in his quest to retain the title, and Miles?
Caleb scoffs.
Caleb: The last time he was in a Roulette Title Match, he was almost fish food, unless history repeats itself with the wheel spin I don't see that happening again but either way, he's not walking out the new champ, I am!
Caleb walks off with Rocky to get ready for his match as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is for the Roulette Championship. First to make their way to the ring, from Syracuse, New York, at six feet two inches and two hundred twenty pounds, he is THE METAL STORM Caleb Storms!!!
The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing across the arena before Caleb comes out head banging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp. The crowd gives a mostly favorable reaction to Storms. Caleb makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as he makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring and throwing up the metal horns as he waits for his opponents to make their way to the ring.
Justin: The next to make their way to the ring, from Manchester, United Kingdom, at six feet one inch and 185 pounds, he is MILES "MILO" KASEY!!!
"Firestarter" by The Prodigy starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. He receives a mixed reaction from the crowd. Miles bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand spring boarding backwards into a superhero pose then he walks to a corner to wait for the final participant in the match to arrive.
Justin: The final wrestler to make their way to the ring, from Dallas, Texas, at six feet even and two hundred twenty-five pounds, he is he current Sin City Wrestling Roulette Champion, he is ALEX JONES!!!
"Respect" by Devour The Day hits the speakers and as the lyrics of the intro cut into the guitar Alex Jones steps out from the backstage area wearing a black and red "Wolfslair" t-shirt and his wrestling gear. The crowd erupts into a mixed reaction for the Champion but he is not distracted by their ignorance. Alex glares down to the ring where Caleb and Miles are standing looking up at him on the landing and Jones points to the Roulette Championship Belt around his waist before making his way down to the ring with an arrogant sneer before leaping up onto the ring apron. Alex then steps through the ropes into the ring.
Adams:Let's get the preliminary comments out of the way. These wrestlers are evenly matches in size with the only exception being Miles Kasey is a bit lighter than Alex and Caleb. Depending on the rules of this match when the Roulette Wheel is spun that lighter weight will either be a positive or a negative for him.
Simone: Why don't we just cut all the amusing comments and cut to the chase. Alex Jones is the Roulette Champion for a good reason and he will remain as Roulette Champion after this match is over.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen you see the Roulette Wheel being brought to ringside for the official spin by Ms. Rocky Mountains to determine the rules of this match. Here comes Rocky Mountains for the official spin. Please watch the giant screens around the arena for the official spin.
Ms. Rocky Mountains gives the Roulette Wheel a hefty spin and it spins for a long time. Alex, Caleb, and Miles, are watching as each is hoping it lands on a spot that benefits them the most. As the wheel starts to slow down. . .slowing down. . .slowing down…it appears that it will stop on the spot marked as a MOSH PIT match and we see Caleb Storms get a huge grin on his face and his eyes get big as he is hoping for that type of match being he is a Metal Head. The wheel slowly starts to slow to where it will stop and it clicks to the next spot past the MOSH PIT slot to land on SUBMISSION ONLY. This brings a nice reaction from Alex Jones and Miles Kasey but not from Caleb Storms.
Justin: Thank you for the spin of the Roulette Wheel Ms. Mountains! The wheel landed on SUBMISSION ONLY which means pinfalls do not count, count outs don't count, only submissions count, and it must be done inside the ring.
Adams:Wow! That wheel came one spot from something that would have fired up Caleb Storms big time. Then again knowing what a great wrestler Caleb is, and he is no stranger to Roulette Rules matches, he will do well.
Simone:Here's how I see things. Champions usually have the advantage since they are the Champion. Reviewing the statistics on the three wrestlers it appears the wrestler with the best odds making others submit are Alex Jones, Miles Kasey, then Caleb Storms in that order.
Adams:We will see how the match goes. And to add to your comments when you have multiple wrestlers in a match and it is a Submission Only match even if you apply a great submission hold the other wrestler in the match can break up the hold so it will be difficult for any of these wrestlers to get the submission unless when they apply it the third wrestler is incapacitated or on the outside of the ring so that they cannot break up the hold.
Referee Drew Patton calls Alex, Miles, and Caleb to join him in the middle of the ring where he informs them this is a Submission Only match and that means pinfalls and count outs do not apply. He quickly checks the three wrestlers to ensure they don't have any foreign objects or substances on them and finds them clean. He then asks Alex Jones for the Roulette Championship Belt and Alex hands it to him. Referee Patton walks over to the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located where he reaches through the ropes and hands the Belt to the Timekeeper to hold until the match is over. He then informs the three wrestlers to return to a corner and wait until they hear the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start the match. Once the three wrestlers are in a corner Referee Patton motions to the Timekeeper and they ring the bell.
DING DING DING!
The instant the wrestlers hear the bell they rush out of their corners slamming into each other in the center of the ring and they immediately start trading blows. Referee Patton hangs back to observe so he can rush in and ask if a wrestler wishes to submit when they are in that position. After trading blows for a time the three wrestlers break and evaluate the others to plan what they want to do next. As Caleb and Miles look back and forth at Alex and each other Jones takes advantage of the timing when Miles and Caleb take their focus off him to lunch at the two taking out both wrestlers with a clothesline at the same time. Caleb and Miles hit the mat and Alex decides to focus on Miles for the moment.
Adams: I guess Alex Jones feels Miles Kasey is an easier mark than Caleb Storms so we will see what happens.
Simone: Want to know what will happen? Alex is going to make Miles submit to retain the Roulette Championship.
Alex Jones quickly applies his AJ Lock Cross Armbar to Miles Kasey and he has is locked on. Kasey has nowhere to go and he is not able to get out of the hold. Referee Drew Patton steps up to ask Miles if he wants to submit but before Kasey can respond to Referee Patton we watch Caleb Storms run over and kick Alex Jones in the head several times causing him to release his hold on Miles Kasey.
Adams:I should have realized that once Alex got the submission hold on Miles that Caleb would do whatever is necessary to break the hold.
Simone: Had Storms not kicked Jones to make him release the hold this match would have been over by submission with Alex Jones retaining the Roulette Championship.
Alex Jones is obviously upset that Caleb Storms broke up his submission hold on Miles Kasey but he also knows in a match with the rules assigned that anything can happen. Alex looks down at Miles who is still on the mat trying to regain his composure after having the submission hold applied to him so Jones turns his attention to Storms. Alex and Caleb get nose-to-nose and they are jawing at each other. With the two focusing on each other neither of them sees Miles Kasey creeping up behind Alex Jones. Storms has had enough of the smack talk from Jones so he reached out with both hands and slams them into the chest of Alex which causes Jones to take a few steps back. When Miles sees this he quickly gets to his feet and grabs Alex and executes a Storm Breaker on Jones and he ties him up applying extreme pressure to make him submit. Referee Drew Patton get into position and asks Alex Jones if he wants to submit and he yells out HELL NO so he lets the match continue. Seeing what is going on Caleb Storms again runs over to the two wrestlers and this time he leaps into the air landing a knee to the side of the head of Miles Kasey and this causes Kasey to release the hold he has on Jones.
Adams: That was pretty much expected.
Simone: I agree.
Caleb walks over and delivers numerous punishing punches and kicks to the head and body of Miles and Alex. Storms then drags Jones to his feet and whips him hard into the ropes where Alex flips over the ropes and onto the arena floor. Caleb then turns and focuses on Miles. Storms stomps hard on the legs and knees of Kasey and then he grabs the legs of Miles and locks him up in a Figure-Four Leglock. Storms drops back applying additional pressure to the legs of Kasey who is yelling out from the pain. Referee Patton steps in to ask Miles if he wants to submit but he refuses to submit so Caleb sits up and starts punching the knees of Kasey causing more pain. Caleb is telling Miles to give it up and submit because he cannot get to the ropes for a break. Miles refuses to submit so Referee Drew Patton allows the match to continue.
Adams: That hurts the legs a lot. I would think Miles Kasey would be better off submitting than to suffer possible long-term damage to his legs.
Simone: That's why you are not a wrestler and the three men in this match are. They know what they are doing so we have to leave it to Miles Kasey to figure out what to do.
Alex Jones is up and he looks over to see Caleb Storms with the submission hole on Miles Kasey. While Caleb Storms is leaned back to put pressure on the legs and knees of Miles Kasey we watch as Alex Jones stomps on the face of Storms then he kicks him in the side of the head. This caused Storms to release his hold on Kasey and in the process he releases the Figure Four Leglock allowing Miles to drag himself over to the ropes where he slides out of the ring to the arena floor leaving Caleb Storms and Alex Jones in the ring.
Adams: Wise move on the part of Miles Kasey. Getting out of the ring allows him to recover without the other two wrestlers continuing to add damage to his legs and knees.
Simone: Unless Miles can return inside the ring this match is going to come down to Alex Jones and Caleb Storms.
Storms is trying hard to fight off the blows but the initial blows landed by Jones took a toll on him. Alex drags Caleb to his feet and then he whips Storms into the ropes and hits him with a Running Knee Strike. This causes Storms to drop to the mat and when Jones goes to finish him off Caleb decides to slide under the rope to the outside of the ring.
Adams: Now we have two wrestlers on the outside of the ring but just as Caleb Storms hit the arena floor Miles Kasey has crawled up on the ring apron and is stepping through the ropes.
Simone: I wonder why the Referee didn't make a count on Miles Kasey who was on the outside of the ring.
Adams: I believe Referee Patton wanted to focus on the active wrestlers in the match since this is a Submission Only match. It wouldn't have served a purpose to count a wrestler out and Disqualify them in this type of match.
Miles Kasey charges at Alex Jones and he is also hit with a Running Knee Strike which drops him to the mat in the center of the ring. Alex doesn't waste any time in locking in his Koji Clutch on Miles Kasey who is in agonizing pain from the hold. Referee Patton steps in and before he can ask Kasey if he wishes to submit Miles taps the mat and Referee Patton orders Jones to release the hold and he does and then he stands next to Referee Patton. As this takes place we see Caleb Storms working to get back into the ring but when he realizes Alex Jones made Miles Kasey submit he slams his fists on the ring apron knowing he no longer has a shot at the Roulette Championship in this match.
DING DING DING!
Justin enters the ring carrying the Roulette Championship Belt which he hands to Referee Drew Patton before making the official announcement on the decision of this match.
Justin: Here is your winner of this match, and still SIN CITY WRESTLING ROULETTE CHAMPION, ALEX JONES!!!
Referee Patton raises the hand of Alex Jones for the victory then he drops his the hand then he hands the Roulette Championship Belt to Jones. Alex parades around the ring to a mixed reaction before leaving the ring to head into the backstage area. Caleb Storms follows after Alex Jones to return to the backstage area. In the ring Miles Kasey is slowly exiting the ring and then he slowly makes his way to the backstage area.
The arena cuts to black as the slow guitar intro of "Blood Lightning" by Lutharo is heard over the PA System, right as the song launches into the opening guitar solo the lights start to flash across the arena before a single spotlight shines on Jessie headbanging to the song.
Simone: I had heard that Jessie had switched theme songs right after the match between Team Hero and Metal and Punk Connection and I guess she's using this seg to debut it.
Adams: Why not? This is the first time since December to Dismember II, all the way back in 2015, that Jessie has missed a PPV and the first time she's missed Into the Void for that matter.
Jessie poses at the top of the ramp just as the clean vocals of Krista is heard over the PA before she makes her way down the ramp, Jessie rolls into the ring and takes a mic from the stage hand as the song fades.
Jessie: So yeah, new music huh?
Jessie asks and the crowd pops.
Jessie: You can thank the Canadian Melodic Metal band Lutharo for that track by the way, it's from their second EP and, well, they haven't even released a full length yet so take for what you will.
Jessie adds before leaning against the ropes.
Jessie: I'll keep this short, the reason I changed my theme song right after my match at Climax Control 300 was because that match awakened something in me that I thought was long buried under a layer of bitterness and anger, the side of me that was last seen after I won the Roulette Title for the first time.
Jessie adds before chuckling to herself.
Jessie: Now granted, I'm now nine years older than I was when I first debuted in SCW but I think my recent matches have proven that I still have it, yet I wasn't even considered for the Queen for a Day Ladder Match, typical.
Jessie adds as she rolls her eyes.
Jessie: I'm not going to dwell on that for too long, but I have a message for whoever wins the Queen for a Day/King for a Day matches, be it Austin, Agostino, Vinnie or Cassian for the men's or Alicia, Mercedes, Char or Courtney…….
Jessie trails off before shaking her head.
Jessie: Seriously, I beat both Char and Courtney and they get into the ladder match over me?
Jessie wonders before regaining her focus.
Jessie: You'll obviously need some ideas for matches on your shows, well, here's a freebie, book me against whoever you want! I don't give a shit, so long as I can get back on the winning track as soon as possible.
Jessie drops the mic as Blood Lightning starts up again as the scene fades.
Justin: The following contest is a ladder match to determine who will become the Queen for a Day 2021!!!
The crowd roars by the announcement.
The arena goes dark as red strobe lights begin to shine. A Japanese Flag appears on the screen as "Whistle" suddenly begins to play over the sound system. A big man steps out from behind the curtain followed by two women. The crowd seems confused as he steps to the side and Char Kwan takes center stage with her hair in a large braid. Her eyes are narrowed towards the ring while completely ignoring the crowd altogether.
Justin: Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Mr. Chalmers and Kiara, from Walnut Creek, California by way of Kyoto, Japan. She is the self proclaimed "Japanese Siren" Char Kwan.
Char Kwan walks down the ramp with her entourage as the crowd is really letting her know how they feel about her. She ignores them while walking right up to the ring. She hops up onto the ring apron, waits for Mr. Chalmers before leaping over the ring ropes. She walks to the furthest corner, climbing onto the turnbuckles and holding up a Flag behind her that shows Japan on one side and South Korea on the other. She shouts profanity at the crowd in Japanese before hopping down and leaning against the turnbuckle. Mr. Chalmers takes the flag from Char while giving her more advice.
Justin: Coming down the ring next
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin: Making her way to the ring (or depending on where Mercedes is when the ring announcer begins the introduction, Coming down the aisle, About to enter the ring, or Currently in the ring), from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponents to arrive.
Justin: Coming down to the ring next…..
The giggle from the start of Kehlani's "Gangsta" floods the arena PA as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the first words of the song start, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T.
Justin: Making her way to the ring the 2018 Blast From The Past Tournament winner, Courtney Pierce!
As the beat of the song finally kicks in, the SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a huge pop from the crowd welcoming her. She stops at the top of the ramp, crosses her ankles, her purple ring gear shimmering with all of the camera flashes around the arena, and takes a slight bow to the crowd with her arms out to her sides. Court makes her way to ringside, and carefully makes her way up the ringside stairs and onto the apron. She ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and into the ring.
Justin: And finally…..
"Circle with me (SCW Edit)" By Spiritbox hits as Alicia steps out with a black hoodie over her upper half with the hood up over her long blond hair. She stands on the stage and reaches up flipping the hood back and looking down at the ring before pointing her finger guns with a smirk. She makes her way down to the ring and runs up the steps before climbing the ropes on the outside, she flips the hood back before putting her arms out , she smiles at the crowd before leaping into the ring from the outside and taking off the hoodie
Justin: And their final opponent!! Standing in at 5'8 and weighing in at 150 pounds!! Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia!! Alicia Lukas!!!!
DING DING DING!
All four Bombshells are in the ring staring at the price that is hanging up high in the ring before turning their attention back to the other competitors. Three bombshells slide out of the ring to grab a ladder while Alicia Lukas remains inside the ring and looks around the ring to see who comes in the ring first with the ladder.
Simone: Great strategy from Alicia to wait for who is going to come in first.
We see Courtney being the first one that has the ladder closed and in her hands before turning towards the ring. Sliding the ladder in the ring before hopping on the ring apron as we see Alicia charge in on her with a hip attack that sends Courtney crashing into the steel barricades as Alicia comes off the ropes and sees Char Kwan having slid the ladder underneath the bottom rope and prepares herself to slide in the ring. But Alicia uses the momentum that she has garnered by running to the ropes earlier and executes a baseball slide that sends the ladder into Char as she crashes on the concrete as well.
Adams: Alicia is trying to get all of her opponents from entering the ring!!
Simone: She forgot one though!!
Alicia gets in the ring and searches for Mercedes, but the veteran has already gotten in the ring along with her ladder and pushes the standing ladder towards Alicia who catches it. Alicia then looks towards Mercedes, who follows it up with a big boot into the ladder as this causes the ladder to come in full contact with Alicia's face. The impact of the blow sends Alicia crashing down to the canvas and falls out of the ring as the ladder falls on top of the top rope and wobbles a bit before remaining there. Mercedes quickly gets to her feet and grabs the ladder, turning around as she starts to position it in the middle of the ring as she prepares herself to climb it.
Adams: That would be a bit too soon wouldn't you think Belinda??
Simone: Maybe Jason, but then again the ring is empty. I...Oh wait, I spoke too soon!!
Char Kwan has gotten in the ring just as Mercedes starts to put her right foot on the bottom step of the ladder. She grabs Mercedes from behind for a German release overhead suplex, but Mercedes desperately attempts to block it by holding on to the ladder. Char lets go and drives a few forearm shots to the back of Mercedes her neck before locking the hold in once more, yet Mercedes manages to hold on still. Char lets go once more and sets Mercedes up for another forearm shot to the back of her neck as her arm is grabbed from behind by Courtney Pierce as she spins her around and levels Char with a dropkick that sends Char into the ropes. There she comes off the ropes and holds on to the ropes at the final moment as she sees that Courtney had decided to push the ladder towards her with Mercedes Vargas still standing at one of the first steps of the ladder.
Adams: Get out of the way Char!!!
Char quickly moves out of the way as the ladder falls her side, Mercedes has managed to jump off the ladder but is caught by Courtney as she prepares her for a Snap Suplex, only to have Char quickly step in and grab Mercedes from the other side of her head and both Bombshells execute the move at the same time as that causes Mercedes to come down hard on the canvas, immediately grabbing the lower side of her back in pain.
Adams: Double snap suplex!!!
Simone: That's what you get in these type of matches, alliances you would not have expected
The two Bombshells stare at each other and then Char immediately hits a back elbow to the side of Courtney's face before pushing her into the ropes. She whips her to the other side as she prepares Courtney for a spinning heel kick and connects. She then slides out of the ring and grabs another ladder before sliding it back into the ring. There she sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring before having her head grabbed from behind by a returning Alicia Lukas, who bashes the face of Char several times into the ladder before executing a German Release Suplex that drops her hard on the canvas. Alicia quickly gets to her feet and grabs the feet of Char, sensing that there is not enough damage done to her to simply climb the ladder and retrieve the price to become Queen for a Day. She grabs the feet of Char and prepares her for a slingshot into the ladder
Simone: That is going to be an impactful blow!!!
Char attempts to reach for the ropes, but she is just a few inches away from blocking the move as Alicia falls backwards as this sends Char towards the ladder. But instead of having a huge impact with the unforgiving steel of the ladder it is Char that manages to land on the ladder and start to climb towards the price as Alicia quickly realizes the mistake that she has made and start to climb behind Char and grabs for her boot. This causes Char to attempt to free herself by kicking away at Alicia unsuccessfully as on the other side of the ladder we see Mercedes Vargas to climb the ladder as well. sensing that both of the bombshells are too occupied with each other to stop her from reaching her goal. She climbs to the top as she extends her arm in an attempt to grab the price, as suddenly she feels two hands grabbing her from behind as she looks downwards and sees Courtney Pierce standing underneath her. Courtney has got her locked in a Powerbomb position as she uses all of her strength to plant her opponent into the mat with a huge powerbomb. Causing the ladder to stumble a bit as this causes Alicia to be able to pull Char off the ladder and quickly follows it up with a knee into the midsection of Char and then follows it up with an Irish Whip into the ropes, setting Char up for a Spine Buster into the ladder.
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!!
The impact of the blow causes the ladder to fall down hard, Char is holding on to her ribs in agonizing pain because of the impact into the steel and then falling awkward onto the canvas. The move causes the adrenaline to pump all through Alicia's body as she starts to get excited in the ring. This causes her to let her focus off her other opponents for a few seconds. This gives Courtney the opportunity to surprise her with a dropkick that sends Alicia staggering out of the ring and onto the outside. Causing Courtney to be the only Bombshell to be standing in the middle of the ring as the fans are going ecstatic.
Crowd: This is awesome!!
Crowd: Fight Forever!!!
Adams: The fans are surely loving it as we can tell by the different chants!!!
Courtney grabs the ladder, but it will not open as easily as prior in the match due to the impactful blow that Alicia put Char into the ladder. She tosses the ladder aside and slides to the outside to grab another ladder before sliding it in the ring. There she places the ladder in the middle of the ring and starts to climb it as everyone else is seemingly down and out
Adams: This can be it!! Courtney could very well become the 2021 Queen for a day contest winner!!!!
Courtney climbs the ladder with confidence while we see a shot from above the six sided ring, giving an impression of how high these ladders are in the air as they are inside the six sided ring. Courtney has climbed around three quarters of the ladder when out of nowhere we see Mercedes jump the ladder and is just as high as Courtney. Both Bombshells are trading blows with each other, neither wanting to give up the position on the ladder to the other as that would benefit the other Bombshell. Mercedes blocks a punch from Courtney, grabs her by the head and bashes her on the top part of the ladder as this causes her to fall off the ladder but only to land on her feet. She runs to the ropes and then comes off the ropes, jumping on the ladder and grabs Mercedes by the waist as she has used the speed of her coming off the roeps to climb the ladder quickly and drops Mercedes and herself off the ladder with a Belly to Belly Suplex onto the canvas.
Simone: Good God!!!!
Adams: I hope that both of these ladies are alright?? Because that's like falling teen feet down from that ladder!!!!
We see Drew Patton run into the ring to check on both Mercedes and Courtney as both ladies are seemingly out of it. We see Alicia slowly get to her feet and stares at the carnage of both Mercedes and Courtney as they both seem to be out of this match by that one high impact blow. She turns around and walks into a stiff kick of Char into the midsection. Char is incense as she runs the ropes and sets up Alicia for a huge kick to the side of her head. But Alicia had it scouted, exploding out of nowhere as she levels Char down with a huge clothesline before tossing her out of the ring for good measure. She then turns towards the ladder and starts to set it right before climbing the ladder to retrieve her price.
Simone: Will she do it??
We see no movement from the other three opponents as Alicia reaches up and grabs her price as the bell rings.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match and Queen for a day!!! Alicia Lukas!!!!
Lukas embraces her price, looking down at the fallen opponents and has a smile of pleasure on her face. Realizing that she has the opportunity to book matches for one night and seal destinies of others.
The camera switches to the Gorilla Position where Mac Bane stands by waiting for his music to hit. He winks at the camera.
Mac Bane: You boys think O'Malley is ready for this?
He laughs as he knows no one will respond.
Mac Bane: I know the ol boy thinks he's ready, but I can tell you….he's not ready for what's coming for him.
He pauses as the audio tech signals him that he's ready when Bane is.
Mac Bane: See, most people came here anticipating seeing "The Cowboy '' or "The Outlaw '' Mac Bane. Tonight though, they get to see "The One Man Wrecking Crew" Mac Bane!
He yells as the music begins to play
Cut back to the commentary team.
Justin: The following contest is for one fall and is the the SCW Internet Championship. Introducing first, The challenger....
The opening for "No Good Bastards" by Tom MacDonald begins to play and the crowd is instantly on their feet booing the big Texan. He stands there soaking it in and allowing their hate to energize him as he stands on the stage.
Justin: From Port Arthur, Texas, weighing in at two hundred and eighty pounds, he is Mac Bane!
They only get louder as he makes his way towards the ring, he walks slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring.
Finally he reaches the ringsteps and makes his way into the ring.
He approaches the center of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs at the chorus of boos that rains down on him from the crowd.
Justin: And his opponent...
The lights in the arena die down as the opening riffs of Gothic Celtic Music Shadow Wisps starts to play. The lights stay out for several seconds before dark green and white strobe lights start shining all around, and fog fills the entrance and along the ramp. Moments later , O'Malley steps through the curtain wearing a long black leather trench coat, joined by Darcy. They stand at the entrance for several moments before O'Malley takes the first step on their way to the ring, and Darcy follows closely behind.
Justin: Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Darcy! From Dublin, Ireland...Weighing in at one hundred ninety-five pounds, he is the SCW Internet Champion, he is...O'MALLEY!!
Once he makes it to the ring, he lets Darcy walk up the steps and follows behind her. He holds the ropes open for her, and she steps through, and he enters after her. They stand in the center of the ring where Darcy removes O'Malley's coat. She then leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek before making her way to the outside, as his music dies down. O Malley focus on his opponent across the ring, waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin.
DING DING DING!
The bell rings leading O'Malley and Bane to circle each other. Both men lock up in the center of the ring. Mac uses his weight and height advantage to over power O'Malley. Bane delivers a sharp knee shot to O'Malley ribcage! The violent blow leads O'Malley to bend over. Mac hits the ropes just behind him then slingshots forward at O'Malley full speed! Bane catches O'Malley still bent over and nearly kicks his head off with a big boot! Mac hooks a leg after both men hit the canvas!
ONE!
TWO!
O'Malley throws a shoulder up!
Adams: Wow! Did you see the kick!
Simone: Bane nearly took his head off with that one. O'Malley kicks out but he is clearly dazed.
Mac takes O'Malley up by the hair of his head. Before Bane can follow up however, O'Malley counters by wrapping both arms around Bane's neck then dropping down to his knees! Mac flies back after the vicious jawbreaker. O'Malley retreats to a corner to catch his breath while Bane holds his jaw laid out flat on his back now. O'Malley quickly uses this brief opening to climb up on the second rope. After situating himself, O'Malley waits patiently for Mac to get back to his feet. Bane gets up slow as the crowd grows wild with anticipation. Mac turns slowly toward O'Malley. This leads O'Malley to leap off the top turnbuckle at Bane! Mac catches him out of the air!
Simone: WOW! What a show of strength here by the challenger.
Adams: What is he doing? He still has a hold of O'Malley.
Mac holds O'Malley in his arms and walks around the ring. He stops suddenly then heaves O'Malley up in the air, throwing him across the ring with a huge exploder suplex!
Adams: What a counter!
Simone: Bane has the champion in real trouble here.
O'Malley rolls under the bottom rope then uses the ropes to pull himself up to his feet on the apron. O Malley waits as Bane approaches and catches him with a fist to the face. O'Malley steps through the ropes and charges at Mac, jumping up in the air and planting a flying forearm on to Mac's nose! The flying forearm wows the crowd and sends Mac to the mat in a pile. O'Malley follows up by moving in close to Mac, waiting for him to get back to his feet, as he does, O Malley turns his back and jumps backwards with a Pele kick, catching Mac in the head. The champion hooks a leg.
ONE!
TWO!
Mac kicks out!
Simone: Mac Bane just kicked out!
Adams: Both men are breathing heavy after that one.
Mac gets up on one knee. O'Malley realizes quickly that his opponent is a bit dazed. O'Malley hits the ropes then springboards toward Bane at full speed! The shining wizard leads the crowd to pop and Mac hits the mat now lifeless. O'Malley quickly goes for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Mac just sneaks a shoulder up!
Adams: Nasty shining wizard! Bane will not go away in this one. He continues to fight with all he's got no matter what the champion throws at him.
Simone: We could have a new champion here tonight.
Bane gets back to his feet. O'Malley dashes at him but Mac leaps up into the air! O'Malley runs right underneath him then hits the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. On the return, Mac clotheslines O'Malley with all he's got! The violent shot leads O'Malley to do a complete flip in the air! The crowd pops.
Simone: Did you see that! Geeeeez.
Adams: O'Malley is seeing stars and I don't mean the ones in the crowd.
O'Malley shakes his head on the mat while Mac hovers over him. Bane pulls O'Malley up to his feet then situates him for a powerbomb. Mac bends over then wraps both of his arms around O'Malley. He lifts O'Malley high into the air! O'Malley comes to life suddenly! He begins to hammer Bane in the face with both fists! The counter punches find their mark every single time because Mac is defenseless due to holding O'Malley up in a powerbomb position. Bane stumbles around the ring aimlessly then falls back suddenly. O'Malley rides his shoulders all the way to the mat! O'Malley reaches behind his own back then hooks both Mac legs in an unorthodox pin.
ONE!
Mac forces O'Malley off!
Adams: The champion with another crowd pleasing counter. He went for a ride on that one!
Simone: Bane is still in this one!
Bane gets back to his feet quickly. A bit of frustration creeps across his face. O'Malley charges at him but Mac counters by grappling! The two wrestlers lock up once again and swing around the ring. The dance is ended abruptly after Bane irish whips the champion into the ropes. O'Malley bounces off the ropes and on the return Mac snatches O'Malley's head then drives it into his knee! The knee smash leaves O'Malley dazed leading Bane to follow up. Mac hooks O'Malley for a wicked piledriver! The maneuver drives O'Malley head into the mat with all Bane's weight behind it.
Simone: What a piledriver! That could have broken his neck.
Bane waits for O'Malley to get back to his feet. Slowly he sneaks up behind O'Malley then hooks him for a sleeper hold! O'Malley eyes widen after Mac applies pressure. Referee Barnes comes in close again to watch for a tap.
Adams: He's got it locked in! Bane can send him to sleep right now
Simone: He is trying to choke the life out of the Internet Champion.
Bane falls back on the mat while still holding the sleeper on O'Malley. Both men hit the mat with real force but Mac holds on. O'Malley begins to fade. Barnes comes in close again to check. He lifts O'Malley's left arm once then drops it. The referee then lifts it up once more. The champion's hand plops against the mat once again completely lifeless. Barnes takes hold of O'Malley's hand one last time. He lifts it up then drops it but O'Malley holds it high! He then uses everything he's got left in the tank to get he and Mac back to their feet. Bane holds the sleeper on tight while both men stand up but O'Malley uses his free arm to elbow Mac in the ribs! After three sharp elbow shots, Bane releases his hold.
Simone: O'Malley is still fighting tooth and nail for this championship.
Adams: What a match!
O'Malley holds his neck but doesn't lose his focus. Mac Bane rushes at O'Malley but he takes off too! The men meet in the center of the ring but O'Malley catches Mac with a flying roaring elbow! The move causes Bane to hit the mat then bounce back to his feet in somewhat of a di
y daze. Out of nowhere, O'Malley delivers a very quick head and arm suplex, sending Mac flying across the ring.Adams: Sharp move from O'Malley
Simone: The Internet Champion is looking to follow up here...
The champ gets back to his feet quickly then rushes over to Bane. O'Malley lifts his opponent up to both knees. Then O'Malley grapples Mac on up to his feet. O'Malley then wraps both arms around Mac and lifts him up into the air and over his head! The Northern Lights Suplex hits its mark, ending in a overhead bridging pin.
Simone: That's IT!
ONE!
TWO!
Mac just about kicks out!
The crowd pops over the kickout. O'Malley eyes widen with utter disbelief. Mac staggers back to his feet leading O'Malley to do the same. O'Malley rushes over to Bane but is cut off with a huge atomic drop! Mac quickly headbutts O'Malley! O'Malley hits the canvas and Mac stumbles backwards, the effects of the headbutt catching himself off guard. O'Malley turns around but Mac quickly charges and crashes in to O'Malley.
Adams: The Bar!
Bane hooks a leg...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, AND NEW SCW Internet champion.... Mac Bane!
Simone: Mac Bane is your new champion!
Adams: This guy just constantly impresses me, won the Roulette championship quickly, Blast From The Past final and is now taken the next step. It won't be long before he starts looking at the World championship.
Now alone in the ring, Mac holds the title up high to the delight of the crowd. He walks around the ring as they continue to get louder. The ring attendant hands him a microphone and he nods his thanks.
Mac Bane: This! This is the first step!
He hoists the title belt high into the air again and the crowd raises their voices and their glasses with him.
Mac Bane: O'Malley, you earned my respect tonight, you were a good champion but it was my time. It will remain my time for a while to come boys.
He levels his gaze at the camera.
Mac Bane: You want a shot at this, just let Chris Underwood know, I'll take on anyone, I don't care who it is.
His demeanor and facial expression remain the same.
Mac Bane: You're getting a warning from me, whoever wins that world title match tonight….Get ready, because I'm coming for that next!
He drops the microphone and hops between the second and third rope. He continues to hoist the belt up as he walks towards the back, both hands now in the air with middle fingers extended.
Lights dimming, the familiar heavy stomping echo of 'Dust and Bone' fills the arena space signifying the arrival of the World Bombshells Champion, mostly undeniable badass and all round kind of self professed jerk- Amber 'Distorted Angel' Ryan. Silhouetted briefly on stage, she's not yet dressed for her upcoming title defense in a slightly oversized blazer, black jeans and a white t-shirt with surprisingly little profanity for her usual style- but the swagger in her step suggests she's more than ready to go.
Sidling down to the ring, there's a clearly mixed reaction between appreciation for her blunt honesty and work ethic and a harsh loathing cause she doesn;t mince words and will openly fireball an innocent bystander if the opportunity presents itself. Irregardless the champion, with title slung proudly onto her shoulder, pays little heed to the cacophony of noise and slips the belt beneath the bottom rope before sliding under herself.
Smoothly getting back to her feet, she scoops up her title back to it's rightful place on her shoulder before gesturing for a microphone- perhaps to the chagrin of those vehemently against her saying or doing basically anything. Pacing slowly, the confident smile on the champion is a different sight for most fans- unnerving perhaps and most likely deceptive of something far worse.
Amber Ryan: Y'know this show is an interesting one for me. A year ago at Into The Void I had my first supercard match for SCW- and I won't lie, I came in feeling pretty fucking good about myself...I had a win under my belt, I was coming in with all this hype- and, well Myra Rivers made me pay for it. Yeah, I don't forget much despite all the knocks to the head...
Amber chuckles for a moment, reminiscing fondly.
Amber Ryan: I came in cocky. I came in being told that I was great...That loss kinda made me reevaluate, and I had to. I called out Roxi Johnson for her hypocrisy and beat her twice...I called out Christina Rose for her mistreatment of the World Title...Beat her too. Time after time, I keep winning matches, I keep turning heads- and within a year I'm standing here with the belt and most of the women back there can't fucking stand me.
With a shrug as if to say 'I don't know why' very sarcastically, Amber continues.
Amber Ryan: This industry isn't about making friends- it's not a popularity contest despite how much I know some of you try to make it seem so. I promised I'd make this belt mean something- and if you think I'm an asshole for that, well maybe reconsider your place in the company. Night after night, win or lose- this belt means more. Love me, hate me- by all means do what you like, but it just serves to prove my point.
Leaning over the rope towards the crowd, the sick smile creeps across her face.
Amber Ryan: There's a reason I'm on top kiddies- it's not cause I'm the best, or the baddest. I'm not everyone's best friend nor do I care to be...I'm not the technical wizard or the scrappy underdog. Fact is, and this won't change...I'm the one who cares the most about this title and what it represents. You want it, by all means try and prove me wrong.
Returning to her pacing, there's murmuring through the crowd as most don't quite know what to make of her words. Particularly for the fact that her actions usually seem somewhat contradictory.
Amber Ryan: Ruby Steele. Tonight is an opportunity, tonight is your 'well earned' chance at something that far more women on this roster should be getting a go at...Blast From The Past is exactly that, in the past. I'm here now, in the moment and you're doing less and less to show me that you've earned this with every passing day- so call this a learning opportunity. This is your chance to sit under the tree of knowledge- a lesson in humility and recognizing when it's not your place to step up and act like a big shot.
A couple of boos ring out but they're short lived.
Amber Ryan: Queen for a day- ladies, most of you know what I'm about to say and why. Alicia Lukas vs Amber Ryan is a wet dream in this industry, Courtney Pierce vs Amber Ryan the rematch is blockbuster and we've got a little unfinished business...Mercedes Vargas vs Amber Ryan- another score to settle properly cause don't think I've forgotten that you left an asterisk on my records...Char Kwan vs Amber Ryan...
Another chuckle, Amber leans into the camera with a softened expression. Sickly sweet accompanied by an insincere wink.
Amber Ryan: ...Yeah, come back when you're ready to play with the big kids.
Stepping away with a small flourish, Amber allows a moment of silence for her words to sink in further.
Amber Ryan: Ladies, don't think I won't be watching. Anyone with a shred of talent around here is on my radar and I promise I see all… Whoever wins, I'll be waiting...Just, maybe, bring something fireproof cause things are about to really heat up...
With a flick, the mic tumbles from her hand going tumbling across the mat as the Bombshells champion takes a moment to nod at the crowd before slipping silently from the ring. Crowd still somewhat shell shocked and unsure what to make of the champion's statements of intent.
The SCWTron turns on. We see the Sun Devils football field with the drummers of the school's marching band in the middle of the field making the letters ASU for Arizona State University. The fans pop as the drums go off twice, with a second pause before going off again twice repeating this process 3 times before the other drums come in. This happens twice before the group starts breaking formation.
The bugle team march onto the field as they begin to play...
Darlyn: This next match is a Brazilian Jui-Jitsu Match for the SCu Combat Championship!!!
ASU Marching band plays their version of Public Service Announcement II by Jay Z.
The Drummers move around as they form the letters SCU. The Bugle team marches in place below the letters making 6 rows underneath. The group breaks up and marches around the field for a bit as they start to slowly make out the name Melissa Ruin...
Darlyn: On the way to the ring she is a two time all American in Lacrosse and Basketball from Arizona State...Melissa Ruin!!!
The fans waiton as the lights in the arena phase out.
Darlyn: And her opponent!!!
Everyone sits in silence until the chaotic rifts of symphonic sounds of exist†trace's "Futatsu no Roe" begins to pump throughout air. A couple of lights at the base of the entrance ramp flicker on.
Darlyn: On her way to the ring, from Osaka, Japan, standing at 5'5" and weighing in at 133lb, she is the Combat Champion...Merlot Ayyyyyyyyyanooooooooooo!!!
Merlot Ayano stands with her back turned as the beams illuminate her. She quickly raises her right fist in the air before using both of her hands to blow kisses into the air. She then spins around and lets out a great shout just as the song begins to ramp up. She scans the cheering crowd and stretches out her right arm as she makes her way down to the ring. Merlot heads directly towards the steps upon reaching the end of the entrance ramp. She wipes her boots on the apron before stepping through the ropes. Merlot strolls around the ring as the lights return before heading to one of the corners. She uses the ropes to get loose and stretch out her legs before the bell rings
DING DING DING!
Chad: Melissa has waited months, many months for this chance. As for Merlot, it must be nice to face someone with honor and respect.
Gena:: Yeah, Stacy, GRIME, Angel Kash, Omasa Tazu being the biggest one.
Merlot and Melissa bow to show respect then walk to the middle of the ring. The two ladies lock up as they each grab the others wrist and close in. Both try to take the other down while keeping position.
Chad: A game of chess between the two.
Melissa gets her lead foot around Merlot's, she tries to trip up Merlot but she stands her ground. Melissa would try again but Merlot uses Melissa's Momentum to flip her over in a judo slam. Merlot gets on top of Melissa.
Gena:: Great takedown by Merlot!
Melissa lets go of Merlot's wrist as she tries to wrap it around Merlot's head but can't as Merlot leans away then grabs Melissa's hand while still holding on to the other by the wrist.
Chad: Melissa trying to break free as Merlot tries to find a way to lock in a submission of some sort.
Melissa tries to bring her leg in as she tries to lock them around Merlot's waist. Melissa tries to lift her arms while screaming in pain by the wrist lock as she gets Merlot to lean away. Melissa gets a foot around Merlot's neck.
Gena:: Here we go, Melissa looking to turn things around.
Melissa uses her leg power to pull Merlot away. Merlot lets go of Melissa's wrist to grab Melissa's foot off of her. Melissa grabs Merlot free hand to pull Merlot close and rolls over to get on the top position. Merlot gets her feet around Melissa's waist locking her in place as she grabs Melissa's hand to pull her in.
Chad: Merlot looks to be getting Melissa in place for a choke hold of some sort.
Melissa tries to break free leaving herself unguarded as Merlot leans in to grab Melissa's head. Merlot goes back to leaning on her back as she stretches Melissa. Merlot has Melissa's left arm and head in a side headlock Melissa removing any circulation going to her left arm. Merlot lets go of Melissa's other hand so that she can lock her hands together and squeeze harder on Melissa's upper body.
Gena:: Melissa tried but this one is over! Melissa is tapping!
Jade calls for the bell as Melissa taps on Merlot's side with her free hand. Merlot lets go of Melissa while unwrapping her legs from her waist.
DING DING DING!
Darlyn: Your winner of this match...Still the Combat Champion...Merlot Ayano!!!
Merlot Jade helps Melissa off of Merlot as Merlot gets to her feet. Melissa sits on the mat with her head down in shame. She breaks down crying as Merlot's hand gets raised. Merlot walks over to Melissa but Melissa brushes her away.
Merlot steps away, Jade hands Merlot the Combat Title. Merlot exits the ring but stops to look towards Melissa and nods her head to give her a slight bow of respect. The crowd cheers on for Merlot as she makes her way up the ramp. Melissa shakes her head in shame, she wipes her eyes before making it to her feet. Melissa walks over to the ropes, she looks around as the crowd continues to cheer. She looks at Darlyn and asks for a microphone.
Melissa: I tried...
Melissa looks down in shame
Melissa: Merlot has been a great Combat Champion and today was no different. I'm not ashamed of losing to Merlot, just, I'm just...It sucks is all. But now I just have to hold my head up high and continue my journey to the top of the Combat division. Merlot, next time, I'll get you next time. Until then, I'll keep training and doing everything I can to become the number one contender.
Melissa leaves the ring and hands Darlyn back her microphone. The fans cheer for Melissa as she walks up the rampway.
Vinnie is seen backstage with Bea, preparing for his ladder match as he is oozing confidence
Bea: You got this Vinnie, a ladder match to become king!! And I can be the princess of Sin City Wrestling!! What a joyful moment it will be
Vinnie: Si Senorita Bea, I will be crowned sexiest King alive. And you know why?? Because I got the moves and these hips don't lie.
Bea looks at Vinnie as he is attempting to do some dance moves that causes her to look away in an attempt not to be seen laughing
Vinnie: And when I am done, I will make my first order of business known on the very next Climax Control!! It is going to be good to be KING!
The camera cuts briefly to the gaming floor of the Golden Ring Casino, well enough away from the wrestling action in the Grand Ballroom, so as not to disturb any "non-wrestling fans" as they make full use of all games offered; craps, the Roulette wheel, blackjack tables, slot machines and so very much more. And walking through the vicinity, ensuring all guests are happy and satisfied, is none other than the Casino's proprietor, Daniel J. Morgan, accompanied by Osbourne and Charlotte Mackenzie. Daniel trades small talk with a patron here and there, shaking a hand and smiling. Ever the charmer, when Osbourne's hand on his shoulder brings him to a stop and draws his attention, as well as that of Charlotte.
The two look in the direction the silent enforcer is directing them to and they're met with a most curious site. There, across the floor and occupying some free space on the floor between a blackjack table and five card draw, is a cardboard box with a cork board behind it. And seated at this makeshift table is none other than Despayre and the ever-present Angel. Drawn in purple crayon on the front of his makeshift gaming table, in big, bold letters, is...
"WHO WILL SEND THE TROLL TO THE HOSPITAL THIS TIME?
And the members of London Underground raise their eyes to the large cork board behind the "pair" and listed is the name of every single SCW Superstar and Bombshell. They watch as one patron walks up and says something to Despy, and he quickly jots the relevant information (Superstar/Bombshell name) in his Build-A-Bear journal. Charlotte leans over and whispers to Daniel...
PLACE YOUR BETS"
Charlotte: Should we be allowing this? Who gave the green light for him to...?
Daniel smiled and nodded his head forward, redirecting their attention again to Mackenzie Page, who stood beside the tandem as she accepted the cash from the gambler and counted it before placing the funds into the little cash box on the "table."
Justin: The following contest is the second ladder match of the night and this time it is for the King for A Day!!!
Bad Motherfucker from Machine Gun Kelly and Kid Rock as Cassian Reed slowly walks towards the ring.
Justin: Coming down the ring! standing in at 5'10 and weighing in at 176 pounds!! Cassian Reed!!
Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the curtain, wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him.
Justin: "From Milan, Italy, he is Agostino Romano!"
Agostino does high fives to the crowd before seeing a kid in the front row which he pulls funny faces at along with giving them a hat from his Global Bike Championship days. He then goes inside of the ring and waves at the fans with the crowd cheering for him while James claps from outside of the ring before Agostino waits for his opponent to come out to the ring with James standing at ringside.
The lights shut off as "A conversation with death" by Khemmis kicks in, as it builds different lights flash around the arena. As the song builds into the refrain and the guitars kick in a spotlight forms on the stage with Austin standing in the middle. He makes his way down to the ring before moving around to the steps, he makes his way up and walks across the apron before stepping between the ropes, he stands in the center of the ring as the music shuts off
Justin: Standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 265 pounds!! Austin James Mercer!!!
The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of 6 Mariachi players come out to the arena all playing a guitar. They start to play Cancion del Mariachi as all of them start to sing while walking down the rampway. Halfway they stop and three walk to the left and the other three to the right as they stand face to face before Senor Vinnie walk out to the arena. He is sporting expensive sunglasses and a sweater around his neck and carrying an atomizer. He sprays some of his cologne in the air and sniffs it up as if not wanting to smell the foul air around him. He stops as we see Bea Barnhart walk out to accompany him to the ring before the two continue their strut
Justin: Coming down the aisle accompanied by Bea Barnhart!! Standing in at 6'8 and weighing in at 280 pounds!! Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico!! Senor Vinnie!!!!
Vinnie and Bea walk to the ring as Vinnie holds the rope open for her as she steps through. He then steps through the ropes himself and hands her the cologne that he carries with him before posing a few moments before staring down his opponent
DING DING DING!
The match begins as the second ladder match of the night will have us see a new King crowned. Right off the bat we see pairs being made as Vinnie and Austin get nose to nose, clearly these past two weeks has caused these two to open up old wounds as on the other side of the ring the two more highflyers circle each other. Agostino sees Cassian step out of the ring as he does not want to have anything to do with the other three men inside the ring for whatever reason. Causing Agostino to run to the opposite of the ring and ascends over the top rope to the outside and scores with a flying forearm to Cassian who falls down to the security railing. Back in the ring we see Vinnie starting to have an argument with Austin, who follows it up by hitting him with a big time forearm blow to the side of his head. This causes Vinnie to stagger a little bit as Austin sets him up for an Irish Whip, only to have Vinnie reverse it and whips Austin into the ropes instead. There the two big bulls collide chest first with each other and neither man budges one bit.
Simone: The irresistible force meets the immovable object!!
Adams: These two have had some memorable matches in the past
Austin shoves Vinnie away from him with his hands upon Vinnie's chest, causing Vinnie to look at his own chest where Austin's hands had been. Giving Austin the opportunity to deliver a big time punch to the face of Vinnie as this causes him to take a few steps backwards. Austin delivers an elbow to the face of Vinnie before running to the ropes and drops Vinnie with a shoulder tackle. This causes Austin to stare down at his nemesis of the past few years
Adams: Austin has the upper hand early
We see Agostino turn his attention to a ladder as he sets the ladder up on the outside, placing it on the ring apron as well as the commentator's table before turning his attention back to Cassian. He grabs Cassian by the arm and sets him up to be whipped into the ladder that is positioned there, but Cassian manages to stop just in front of the ladder, grabbing the ladder and turns around just in time to blast Agostino in the face with the ladder. He then places the ladder against the middle rope and grabs another ladder that he places on top of the announce table and then connects it with the ladder against the ropes to stabilize it. He then slides in the ring as he watches on as Austin puts the boots to Vinnie who is still down before lifting him up to his feet and sets Vinnie up for a slam. Lifting him up off his feet and sets Vinnie up for the slam as Cassian jumps up and grabs Vinnie for a neckbreaker at the same time for the slam of Austin.
Simone: That was innentive!!
Austin stares down Cassian, not knowing why he did that but shakes his head. Grabbing Cassian by the head and sets him up for a throw to the other side of the ring, but Cassian manages to escape his grip and lands behind Austin as Austin had him in a hurling movement. Cassian jumps upwards, locking his arms around the head of Austin in a sleeper hold while locking his legs across the midsection of the former world champion in an attempt to wear him down. This gives Vinnie the opportunity to slowly get to his feet and sees what is going on and slides to the outside where he grabs a ladder and pushes it back in the ring.
Adams: Curious whether Vinnie will use it as a weapon or to climb the ladder???
Vinnie picks up the ladder as he holds it in front of him, staring at both Austin and Cassian as Cassian has the former champ still locked in the sleeper hold. Vinnie charges in on them, causing Cassian's eyes to widen before Austin levels Vinnie with a huge boot to the ladder as that causes Vinnie to fall down to the canvas with the ladder on top of him. The camera zooms in on Austin and Cassian still holding on to Austin from behind as Cassian sighs of relief. But that moment does not last long as the long and powerful arms of Austin reaches upwards and grabs the head of Cassian and uses all of his might to just pull Cassian off of him and plants him hard on top of Vinnie and the ladder that is still on top of him. Causing Cassian to scream in agonizing pain as he rolls off of Vinnie and the ladder. Austin grabs the ladder and turns around, only to be walking straight into an Agostino dropkick that sends him staggering backwards against the ropes while still holding on to the ladder. Agostino charges in on Austin once more and cross body blocks into the ladder and ultimately against Austin. The impact of the blow and the weight of both Agostino and the ladder causes Austin to stumble to the outside with Agostino holding on to the top rope and falls down on the apron sitting down while holding a few ribs in the process.
Adams: That was amazing.
We see both Vinnie and Cassian slowly stir and both men slide out of the ring. Agostino gets to the outside as well as slowly the other three men get to their feet when suddenly.
Simone: Oh no, not the damn Troll again!!
Adams: How did he get in the arena???
Gabriel Wank runs to ringside, grabs a ladder and slides it in the ring, there he follows it in the ring and positions it in the middle of the ring before starting to climb it.
Simone: NO!!! He cannot do that!! He is not even a part of the match!!!
Adams: Well technically the match states, whomever climbs the ladder and retrieves the price will be crowned King for A Day!!
We see Vinnie noticing the Troll trying to climb the ladder as he shouts at the other wrestlers on the outside, they look at him before turning their attention to the ringside area as they see him point towards something. They see the Troll climbing and all four men turn their attention towards the troll in the ring and circle him.
Simone: Uh oh…. I think this will not be pleasant for the Troll
Wank sees the four men surrounding him, screaming at them to stay away from him as Austin nods to the other three men who nod as well and all of them walk towards the ladder. Each wrestler grab a part of the ladder before turning their attention to the ladders that Cassian placed outside the ring earlier the night. Then suddenly
Adams: GOOD GRIEF!!!
We see the Troll being pushed off the ladder to the outside as he falls on top of the ladders that got stuck on top of each other. He then bounces off the ladders in a quite funny way before falling to the concrete. There a glass of water that stood close to the corner of the table falls down and connects on the Troll wetting his face as the fans laugh at him. We see all four competitors look down at him for a few moments before turning their attention back to each other. We see Vinnie grabbing Austin's arm, setting him up for an Irish whip that gets reversed. Austin sets Vinnie up for a Spine Buster, but Vinnie blocks it by kicking Austin in the chest. There he follows it up with a big time clothesline that sends Austin to the outside. Then he turns around as we see an unlikely alliance between Cassian and Agostino as both men gang on the larger Vinnie. Setting him up for an Irish Whip and a double clothesline, but Vinnie just runs through their attempt and runs to the outside before levelling them both with clotheslining them with both arms. Vinnie grabs the ladder that the Troll stood upon earlier before falling to the outside and uses the ladder to level both Agostino and Cassian with it as they fall to the outside. Vinnie has got the ladder set up to be climbed to the price when he sees Austin slowly getting on the ring apron and both men lock eyes.
Adams: Austin does not want to see Vinnie climb that ladder, already too much bad blood between these two that Austin cannot cope to lose to Vinnie once again.
Both men get face to face, staring each other down as the fans go wild. Wanting to see these two bulls go at it once again. The two brawl, exchanging blows one at a time before Vinnie blocks one of Austin. Wanting to slam Austin, but Austin delivers a knee into the midsection as that stops the attempt. Austin then pushes Vinnie into the turnbuckles and delivers shoulder blocks into the midsection of Vinnie before wrapping his arms around his midsection for a Belly to Belly suplex out of the corner. But Vinnie blocks it by holding on to the ropes, forcing Austin to let go. He then grabs the head of Vinnie as he delivers a massive headbutt. Then he sets him up to be tossed over the top rope, but Vinnie manages to stop it as he has hold on to the top rope and uses the momentum of Austin against him by pulling him back into the corner and then follows it up with an overhead German suplex on top of the ladder that was in the ring still. Causing Austin to land on it awkwardly before rolling off of it and onto the outside. Vinnie slowly gets to his feet and sees what is going on and that he is alone in the ring. He grabs the ladder and sets it up as fast as he can before slowly starting to climb it. We see Austin slowly trying to pull him back into the ring with a face of rage towards Vinnie. Vinnie is slowly climbing and finally gets to the top of the ladder before grabbing the price and retrieves it just in time as Austin managed to roll in the ring in an attempt to stop him.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match by climbing the ladder and becoming the King for a day 2021!! Senor Vinnie!!!!
Vinnie celebrates his victory as we see Austin cursing, realizing that he came too late to stop Vinnie to obtain the coveted price.
Into the Void cuts backstage to an unapologetic, arrogant Andrea Hernandez. She's not pulling any coffee stunts or any mockeries here. She is completely dead serious especially regarding the task at hand. Andrea doesn't waste any time to express her thoughts.
Andrea: I'd really like to comment on anything Sam Marlowe has had to say coming into this match, but the cold reality is that she really didn't say anything of substance. Of course, that's absolutely nothing new as far as she is concerned, so I am going to say this. Putting all of the shenanigans aside, Sam Marlowe, I know what you're all about. I know what you have accomplished in Sin City Wrestling and you know what? It's a damn shame that you're unable to evolve. It's a damn shame that you're going to stick to the tried and true method of being SCW"s sweetheart no matter what happens with our match tonight. It would be very nice if I could light a fire under your ass and get you to at least THINK about changing your own game but you're too complacent to even do that much. It's a shame really. I guess you just want to continue to slide down the path of irrelevance that you've been on for the last year and a half or so. I guess you're OKAY with being mediocre and having the rest of the Bombshell roster except for the Chars and the Beas of the world run all over you. It's a shame really. You deserve to treat yourself better than that...you know...like I did!
That's why I got rid of the sweetheart people knew last year, Sam…
Because I knew that if I continued to go down the path I was on, I'd be in the exact same spot that you're in. I wasn't okay with people pushing me over like they were doing last year when I was in convention for the SCW Bombshells World Championship. I wasn't okay with the way the likes of Keira Fisher were talking to me, acting as if I was old news. I get it. That talk is annoying. But unlike you, I rose up and did something about it. That's why I KNOW I AM better than you. That's why I, and not YOU, will win this match tonight. Tonight, when I beat the ONE Bombshell that has had title shot after title shot handed to her like candy, I am going to prove why I should've had all of those shots and not you. And speaking of titles...
Andrea takes a pause for a second as she thinks about the subject that she's about to switch her promo to. Her arrogance doesn't waver a bit. In fact, what she's about to talk about has her chuckling as she touches on the subject.
Andrea: Let's talk about the ONE championship that my opponent is synonymous with: the SCW Bombshells Roulette Championship...a title that, as of late, has become nothing more than an absolute JOKE! Tonight, that title hit ROCK BOTTOM! You had someone from GRIME defend it in the OPENING MATCH and just THAT in and of itself is a DISGRACE! A prestigious championship like that should NOT be in the OPENING MATCH! The fact that the challengers tonight were who they were when I know I am better than both of them COMBINED is a DISGRACE! The fact that the title has been passed around from mediocre wrestler to mediocre wrestler ever since Seleana's reign ended is a DISGRACE! You had Johanna and Jessie spitballing the title back and forth. You had a GRIME WRESTLER hold the title for a while and someone who is CLEARLY not fit to be a champion in this company holds the title now! Tonight, the Roulette Championship has hit ROCK BOTTOM! But that's okay! There's nowhere to go but up...and I'M going to be the one to make that happen! I'M going to be the one that gives that title a REAL champion! Yeah, I would LOVE to have the World title too for OBVIOUS reasons...but I have a very good feeling about Amber Ryan tonight. She's one of the FEW that I respect. I don't need to save the world title right now because it's in good hands.
But that championship?
It's in dire need of saving and I'm going to be the one to do it! And what better way to call my shot and make my statement than to beat the most prestigious title holder in Sam Marlowe tonight?
That's exactly what I am going to do and when I'm done with Sam...that title WILL be mine!
Andrea doesn't hesitate to leave the scene at this point, hungry and really to really call her shot as the scene fades out.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall...introducing first...hailing from Phoenix, Arizona…. Andrea Hernandez...
"Waking the Demon" by Bullet for my Valentine hits the venue's soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong boos from the crowd. Andrea scoffs at the crowd and doesn't pay them any attention at all otherwise as she is completely focused on the task at hand. She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, ignoring the crowd even further as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.
Justin: And her opponent...
"Invincible by Hedley begins to play as a familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show 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.
The ref moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Hernandez and Marlowe circle the ring quickly before moving in and they briefly lock up but Hernandez is quick to break and breaks Marlowe's early grip before grabbing Marlowe around the waist, which Marlowe fights to break and she does before countering into a waist lock of her own and Hernandez looks to find a way out of the waist lock before bending down and grabs at Marlowe's ankle but Marlowe flicks her leg away, which briefly distracts Marlowe but she quickly regains her grip but Hernandez goes straight back to trying to break Marlowe's grip around her waist.
Simone: I am surprised this didn't start out as a brawl...very civilised start from both Hernandez and Marlowe.
Adams: Still early in this match and anything can happen, as we see Hernandez attempts to get the early advantage, but Marlowe turns it around to get it instead.
Hernandez grabs at Marlowe's hair but quickly changes her mind as she brings her hips forward before throwing her hips backwards connecting with Marlowe's stomach, which forces Marlowe to release her grip as Hernandez then grabs Marlowe's hand and then twists into a wrist lock, where she tweaks her wrist as Marlowe grimaces, but Hernandez shows no mercy and violently yanks on her arm. Marlowe grapples at Hernandez' wrist as she figures out a way to free herself and she does as she pulls Hernandez' hands away and twists her arm and puts in her own wrist lock but Hernandez instead of seeking another way out grabs a handful of hair and pulls back and Marlowe takes a few steps backwards as the ref moves in and admonishes Hernandez who then releases the grip.
Adams: Hernandez attempts a bit of hair pulling to put off Marlowe, but it doesn't work and instead she throws her hips backwards into Marlowe's stomach, which forces Marlowe to release and she counters with a wrist lock and gives her arm a hard yank but Marlowe doesn't relent and she counters but Hernandez grabs a handful of hair and yanks back but the ref tells her off for it.
Marlowe isn't put off and she keeps her grip firm but Hernandez keeps looking for a way out and does a front flip before kipping up, which loosens Marlowe grip just enough for Hernandez to counter into a wrist lock and then into a hammer lock. Marlowe holds her shoulder but Hernandez once again counters into a headlock. Hernandez then drops down to a single knee before full taking Marlowe down to the mat.
Simone: Hernandez doesn't allow herself to be put off but Hernandez seeks another way out and she does and quickly escapes and she takes down Marlowe to the mat in a headlock.
The ref moves in and check for pins, which there isn't one as Marlowe takes a moment before lifting a leg up and wraps it around Hernandez' head and locks in a headscissors before twisting to add an extra pressure on the headscissors, however, Hernandez is quick to escape as kick her legs out and frees herself. They both quickly climb back to their feet as they then circle the ring as they plan their next moves.
Adams: The ref checks Marlowe's shoulders and find's no pin, but Marlowe isn't down for too long as she gets her legs up and around Hernandez's neck for a headscissors but once against Hernandez is quick to shimmy free and they both back to their feet.
They then slowly move in and lock up in the centre of the ring, where Hernandez pushes Marlowe up against the ropes, as the ref moves in and gets to three before Hernandez releases and backs off before going for a wild wing at Marlowe, who ducks out of the way and Hernandez ends up against the ropes, while Marlowe backs away and moves to the centre of the ring. Glaring at Marlowe, she moves away from the ropes as they once more circle the ring before moving in as they go to lock up but Hernandez instead grabs Marlowe's arm and trapping it, which Marlowe shakes her head as she tries to push Hernandez away but Hernandez releases and turns around to come face to face with Marlowe, while keeping hold of Marlowe's arm before pulling her close into a headlock and then rolls her up into a pin...
Simone: They move back in and lock up as Marlowe is on the backfoot once again as Hernandez pushes her up against the ropes, which the ref quickly puts a stop to that and Hernandez backs away before attempting a wild swing, which Marlowe dodges and she moves away from Hernandez.
Adams: Hernandez didn't seem too impressed with that, but she doesn't dwell on it too much and as she takes a few steps forward and they circle the ring once again before moving back in and again Hernandez has full control over Marlowe and she attempts the first pin of the evening.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Marlowe kicks out as they both then climb to their feet and Marlowe is the quickest of the two as she rushes forward grabbing Hernandez around the waist and drags her down for a pin...
Adams: She only gets a two count and Marlowe is back to her feet and she attempts to catch Hernandez off guard and goes for a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Hernandez this time kicks out and they both shuffles backwards away from each other and then lean up against the ropes, as they stare at each other for a moment before climbing to their feet as they circle the ring once more before moving in but again Hernandez grabs Marlowe's arm and counters into a wrist lock, which she tweaks but Marlowe takes a moment before countering and breaking Hernandez's grip and locking in headlock. Hernandez takes a moment to think of a way out before driving a fist into Marlowe's stomach a couple of times as she then pushes Marlowe away.
Simone: Marlowe only gets a two count on Hernandez. As the match goes back to a neutral point. I am beginning to think Hernandez is all talk and little action.
Marlowe bounces off the ropes as Hernandez goes for a wild swing but Marlowe ducks and bounces off the ropes as Hernandez then drops to the mat and Marlowe leaps and rolls over her before climbing to her feet as Hernandez charges at her. Marlowe side steps her and Hernandez bounces off the rope with Marlowe this time drops to the mat, and Hernandez leaps over her and Marlowe climbs back to her feet as again Hernandez tries again with another swing but again Marlowe ducks and grabs Hernandez arm and whips her into the ropes. As Hernandez comes back Marlowe grabs at Hernandez's waist and goes off towards a different side of the ring and bounces off the ropes and as she comes back at Hernandez she hits a sling blade before crawling over to Hernandez and goes for a pin...
Adams: Again Hernandez breaks free from Marlowe's grip as the speed of the match just suddenly up's as Marlowe gets going as she bounces off the ropes and ducks and avoids any shots from Hernandez and Hernandez does the same thing before Marlowe comes back at Hernandez with a sling blade and goes for another cover...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout...
Marlowe shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet as she grabs Hernandez by the hair before setting her up and then hits a snap suplex, she quickly climbs to her feet and then hits a standing moonsault before hooking Hernandez's leg.
Simone: Marlowe gets a two count as she climbs back to her and moves to Hernandez and hits a snap suplex before following up with a standing moonsault for another cover...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Marlowe shakes her head as she climbs to her feet and then goes to a corner, where she climbs the ropes to the top as she looks to finish Hernandez off with the Sammisault (Air Bourne), but Hernandez quickly climbs to her feet and rushes to the corner where Marlowe is and leaps up and very quickly reaching Marlowe. She grabs Marlowe and tries to grab her around the waist, but Marlowe blocks it and they briefly trade shots until Marlowe catches Hernandez with a headbutt to the bridge of Hernandez's nose, while stuns her enough for Marlowe to shove Hernandez backward who lands on her back on the mat and Marlowe looks down at Hernandez and she leaps off for the Sammisault but Hernandez gets her knees up and Marlowe lands on them.
Adams: Again another two count. But Marlowe isn't done as she climb the ropes as she looks to finish Hernandez with the Sammisault, but Hernandez is back to her feet and puts a stop to it. As she meets Marlowe at the top of the turnbuckle as they briefly trade shots but Marlowe halts Hernandez's chances by shoving her off the turnbuckle.
Simone: She tries to finish this match with a Sammisault but Hernandez gets her knees up.
Marlowe grunts as all the air is expelled from her lungs as she then rolls away, while Hernandez holds her legs as she rolls away to the corner to recover as the ref moves in and check on Marlowe before starting their count...
ONE!
TWO!
Marlowe crawls to the ropes and gets herself into a seated position as she continues to suck in air.
Simone: Marlowe is going to struggle from now on as the air was driven from her lungs.
THREE!
FOUR!
Hernandez climbs to her feet as she moves towards Marlowe, where she grabs her by the hair and pulls her up, Marlowe, however, shoves Hernandez back who 'accidently' catches the ref with her free arm. The ref stumbles back as Hernandez moves back in towards Marlowe as they begin to trade shots until Hernandez drives a knee into Marlowe's stomach. Marlowe stumbles backwards into the corner. Hernandez rushes in and hits splash before grabbing Marlowe and drags her from the corner.
Adams: Hernandez grabs Marlowe and pulls her up but Marlowe gives Hernandez a shove...somehow the ref gets hit...
Simone: Weird, however, Hernandez's main focus remains on Marlowe as she works over with a knee and then a splash.
Hernandez bends down in the corner and begins to mess around with her jacket before standing back up, as she watches Marlowe who crawls away but Hernandez follow and grabs Marlowe by the hair and pulls her up so that she is on just her knees and brings a hand around Marlowe face.
Simone: What is that?
Adams: Not too sure...but if it requires a white tissue...I suspect something not very pleasant for Marlowe.
Marlowe struggles for a few moments before fading and Hernandez lets go and drops a white cloth to the mat before pushing Marlowe forwards as she then drops to the mat and rolls Marlowe onto her back and she casually pins Marlowe as the ref sees the pin and counts...
Adams: Marlowe unsurprisingly fades and gives Hernandez the easiest pin...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Simone: Hernandez wins...but I don't like how she has done it.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall…Andrea Hernandez.
Hernandez's music hits over the p.a a she climbs off Marlowe and grabs the white tissue and shoves it in her cleavage before celebrating her win.
Right outside of the office of Daniel J Morgan himself, we see the former SCW Bombshell Tag Team of Chanelle Martinez-Blade and Torielle Jackson. We can see masked member Rainbow off to the side. Both unmasked ladies make sure that the camera sees the Hardcore Tag Team Championships on their shoulders as they begin speaking.
Chanelle: Bet you didn't think you'd see us with these straps around our waists still.
Torielle: Girl, that's a winning bet if I ever heard one. These lames already poppin' off on my timeline about how we don't deserve it. How we was weak. Well, guess what? Azz n' CRASS got that payday. We showed up like real hood bitches, and we stomped the fuck outta Masked Celeste and masked Orchid.
Chanelle: Sho nuff. Y'all act like that ain't the name of the game. If we wanted to play within the rules of regular wrestling, then we woulda just stayed with dem SCU lames, bruh.
Chanelle shrugs her shoulders. Her and Torielle exchange a nod.
Chanelle: I guess we ain't been clear bout why we jumped ship. So lemme spell it out for y'all right quick. Even though I got all this azzzzz...
Chanelle turns around and twerks, causing the strap of her own belt to spank her audibly as her cheeks clap. She doesn't look away from the camera though, maintaining eye contact with it as she continues twerking and speaking.
Chanelle: We some hood ass bitches. Born and bred southside Bronx, baby. Everyday we woke up was a hardcore fight just to go back to sleep at night. It took mad discipline to stay right up in SCU when all we wanted to do was smack a bitch wit a baseball bat.
Torielle takes the time during Chanelle's speech to point to her ass as she continues twerking, not missing a beat. But then she speaks up, lifting up one leg onto the back of the leather couch in front of the office door.
Torielle: Our hustle was strong, and them (BEEP)as was hip to it. I thought I wanted to be better than that, and that's ultimately why me and Chan broke up Azz n' Class. We was doing our own thing, mostly back to the hustles we had going, but then Erik Staggs and Gianni Di Luca came up to us and made us a deal we couldn't refuse.
Torielle pops her hips a few times, smirking at the camera.
Torielle: Naw, don't think like that. They came to us wit better contracts to hit the payday harder than we ever have, and two masks. It just so happens that Indigo was my color. And if you never seen this one bounce dat booty in Light Blue, then y'all missed out! So we inked dem papers and did our thing. We needed some tag titles, something we never got as a team. Then this one popped up and told us how to get them.
Torielle juts her thumb back at Rainbow as Chanelle finally stops flexing that back.
Torielle: We took down some (BEEP)as wit dem chains like two hood bitches gone do. We got that gold, we hit that payday, and still takin' it to the bank.
Chanelle: These hos on the TL be hatin' 'cause they ain't gettin' that scratch, baby. It's jealousy, and it's sick. I thought I would never have to say dem words again after leaving Angel Kash, but it's true. They salty as fuck. So what they gone come at us wit? "Y'all cheated". Naw, baby. We hustled. And we look damn good doin' it too. We get to act up, whoop some ass, and get paid for it. Why don't you go spend thousands of dollars on training, put in over 15 years in the business like me, or 8 like T-T, then come tell me somethin'. I ain't playin' no more games with these lames!
Torielle: And I ain't gone front like I'm some classy ho no more. I'm crass as fuck. I'm hood as fuck. And I'm bad as fuck. Can't pull the Bronx out no one, girl.
Chanelle: And here go dat remix, baby. We ain't changed. We just returned to what we truly is. Bad, Hood, Crass bitches that gone act up. And if you get in our way, we gone act up on you. It's simple as that, baby. One more time. You wanna step up, you gone get stepped on. I don't care what bitches wanna boo us. Get yo lace fronts checked before you come at me, because you best come correct. Don't matter if you a dude or a chick or somethin' in between. We're the Hardcore Tag Team Champions, and we gone be just as Hardcore as the Monstimals, as The Jeckels, as the Kawaii Dragons, or the Bad Boys. Best of the best, baby.
Torielle: And SCW can't blame nobody but themselves for this. You shoulda offered us the right opportunities. You shoulda given the all female teams something to do, cause now you done fucked up wit us. We gone let anyone, SCU or GRIME step up to us, cause you gone get knocked down. We come equipped wit dem straight razors and vaseline. Don't get us mixed up wit dem other hos. Hardcore gone return to these titles, bitches and (BEEP)as. Truth.
And with that, Chanelle and Torielle join Rainbow as they walk away.
Inside the Team Canada locker room, Stewart, and Gail and sparing under the watchful eye of Gemma, the session is interrupted by Dev Khatri.
Stewart: Hey, come in Dev.
Dev walks in and Gail gives him a smile then walks across the locker room to join Gemma.
Dev: Tonight on the Void pay per view you face Father Gerald Sheppard for the Underground Title were you surprised that he challenged you.
Stewart: Dev, you and I go back to our time in Northern Lights Wrestling, where let's face I was the most hated guy there, and yet no one ever called me out, that's what I respect about Father Gerald, he's a man of honor, an man of faith, and the current Underground champion. Dev, tonight is going to be a night of history and this might be the old Stewart in me coming out, but after tonight whether I'm Underground champion or not no one is going to forget our match tonight. Tonight no one will remember the matches that came before or after us, Tonight Dev, everyone will know who the best of the best is, for he will be the man who walks out as Underground champion.
Dev: Any last words for Father Gerald.
Stewart: Gerald, while I don't necessarily agree with your religious views, I respect you as a wrestler and tonight you and I will bring the house down no doubt about it, good luck tonight Gerald I'll see you out there.

And the boos become louder. Gerald runs out onto the stage, throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand as he shouts out a verse. He walks down the ramp as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and runs up them. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and slowly spins around before settling in a corner and waits for the match to start.

Crowd: YOU DESERVE IT!!! *Clap Clap Clap* YOU DESERVE IT!!! *Clap Clap Clap* YOU DESERVE IT!!! *Clap Clap Clap*
Stewart does his best to raise the title up, but his arm is quite sore from the battle just seconds before. He raises it up as he comes out of the corner. He stretches out until he gets a second wind. He thrusts the belt in the air several times, much to the adoration of the crowd. He turns around and finds himself face to face with Father Gerald, who looks steaming pissed. He huffs and he puffs so much that you'd think he was the big bad wolf. He takes a step closer to Stewart, who prepares for a fight. Gerald looks as if he's preparing for one too.

Crowd & Gerald: YOU DESERVE IT!!! *Clap Clap Clap* YOU DESERVE IT!!! *Clap Clap Clap* YOU DESERVE IT!!! *Clap Clap Clap*
Gerald knows his welcome is likely worn out. He gives a nod to Stewart, and then steps outside of the ring to allow Stewart to celebrate on his own, at least until Gail gets inside of the ring, and Earl and Dahlia nearly tackle him to the ground as they enter the ring. Sarah and Gemma come in as Team Canada celebrates together.
Vinnie can be seen backstage, getting some rest from his gruelling match as he notices the camera and gestures to them to come in
Vinnie: I told the world I would do it, I told the world that I was going to be king. And not even Austin's futile attempts to stop me has kept me from achieving greatness...soon the world will be a better place...and all because of yours truly...King Vinnie
With that he gestures the camera crew to move away from him
Justin: The following contest is for one fall. Introducing first...
The heavy beat of Halestorm's "You Call Me a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing" kicks up over the sound system and the heads of the SCW Universe turns towards the entrance as the Bombshell amazon Tempest walks out onto the stage.
Justin: Coming to the ring! From Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing two hundred and eighteen pounds -- Tempest!
The fans are in awe at the size of Tempest as she wastes no time in power walking straight to the ring, her eyes never straying from her destination and paying no mind to the fans reaching out toward her. A perpetual frown on her face, she arrives at the ringside area where she climbs up onto the ring apron and straight inside of the ring. Tempest stands in the center of the ring, her arms held out and turns full circle before moving to her corner.
Justin: And her opponent...
"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor starts to play through the sound system. The crowd erupts in loud cheers, as Bobbie Dahl bursts through the curtain, sans her once signature angel wings. Her eyes are narrowed as she stares down to the ring, and Artie joins her moments later.
Justin: Making her way to the ring! Weighing in at two hundred forty pounds! From Coal City, Illinois! Please welcome, the one! The Only! BOBBIE DAHL!!!
Bobbie continues her way to the ring, no longer showing off the fun attitude everyone was so used to seeing. She now carries a much serious and determined demeanor as she walks alone, stomping her way to the ring. Once she reaches the ring, she walks up the steel steps and enters through the ropes heading to the center of the ring, staring at her opponent, waiting for the match to begin with a fiery look in her eyes.
DING DING DING!
Both Bobbie and Tempest move towards the center of the ring, both standing face to face.
Adams: This one is a powder keg and it's about to go boom boom!
Tempest turns and runs towards the ropes behind her before charging back, crashing shoulder first in to Bobbie with a shoulder block, but Bobbie doesn't move an itch. Bobbie smiles before attempting the same, bouncing off the rope behind her before charging back and crashing shoulder first in to Tempest, but Tempest doesn't move at all.
Simone: These two powerful women won't give the other an inch.
Tempest smiles at Bobbie and charges at the ropes and bounces back, attempting another shoulder block but again, Bobbie doesn't move. Bobbie hits the rope to her side, bouncing back with such force, the ring shakes, but crashes in to Tempest with another shoulder block attempt, but again, Tempest doesn't move.
Adams: Looks like we're at a stand off.
Without warning, the two start to fire huge punches at each other, lefts and rights flying toward their opponents head.
Adams: And powder keg goes boom boom!
Bobbie starts to get the upper hand but Tempest cuts her off with a thumb to the eye, drawing a warning from Jasmine St John, but Tempest cuts Bobbie off with a knee to the gut. Tempest reaches down and attempts to lift Bobbie up in a body slam but Bobbie holds firm and smashes her forearms down across Tempest's back. Bobbie reaches down to lift Tempest for a body slam, but Tempest puts the breaks on and smashes a knee in to Bobbie's face.
Simone: These two women are trying everything to try and force the other down.
Bobbie stands up straight but Tempest drills her in the face with a huge headbutt. Bobbie stumbles in to the corner and Tempest charges in with a clothesline, crushing her against the turnbuckle. Tempest steps out of the corner and quickly charges in, jumping up with a hip attack, crushing Bobbie in the corner. Tempest allows Bobbie to stumble past her and waits for her to turn around before catching her with a jaw jarring superkick and finally Bobbie's mat hits the canvas. Tempest quickly jumps on top, pushing her weight down as Jasmine drops down to make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Bobbie gets her shoulder up!
Adams: Bobbie's not finished yet!
Tempest pulls Bobbie to her feet by her hair and starts to yell at her, but Bobbie pushes Tempest's hand from her hair and hooks her with a huge right hand to the jaw, unexpectedly sending Tempest rocking backwards. Bobbie senses her opportunity and claps her hands together around Tempest's head.
Simone: That will get your ears ringing.
Adams: Happened to me once, I kept answer the phone but no one would say hi back.
With Tempest still off her game, Bobbie reaches down and scoops Tempest up and slams her down with a body slam, causing the crowd to cheer wildly!
Adams: Oh my good god, Mary, baby Jesus and the holy goat! Bobbie just slammed Tempest!
The roar of the crowd spurs Bobbie on as she steps back and waits for Tempest to sit up. Ask she does, Bobbie charges at her and slams a knee to the Hawaiian born Tempest's chest, sending the big woman on to her back. Tempest rolls over and finds herself sitting in the corner but Bobbie charges in and jumps in the air, crushing Tempest down with a bronco buster, bouncing up and down and waving a hand in the air, causing the crowd to cheer louder. Bobbie stands up and drags Tempest to the middle of the ring, with a struggle. Bobbie steps back and as Tempest sits straight up, Bobbie bounces off the ropes and charges back and dives at her.
Adams: Low cross body! Now that was brilliant!
Bobbie stays on top, pinning Tempest to the canvas and Jasmine drops down to make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Tempest just kicks out!
Simone: Well that was close!
Bobbie looks around and stands up, grabbing Tempest by the waving hair but Tempest quickly, and unexpectedly, reaches down and lifts Bobbie off her feet with a spinebuster, driving Coal City's own in to the canvas, causing a huge thud and catching the fans off guard. A huge intake of air collectively from the fans.
Adams: Wow! The ring just took one hell of a hit.
Tempest pulls herself away, trying to use the ropes to get to her feet. As she does, Bobbie returns to hers. Tempest charges at her and catches her in the head with a huge big boot, knocking Bobbie down to the canvas as the crowd boo. Tempest ignores them as she moves toward Bobbie and pulls her up, holding her hair back and brutally slamming a hard right hand in to Bobbie's face. Bobbie rocks backwards, but Tempest keeps hold of Bobbie's hair. She pulls her back in, ducking her body and lifts Bobbie on to her shoulders, causing the fans to gasp, before dropping her backwards with a Samoan drop!
Simone: What brute strength from Tempest!
Adams: That was just pure power.
Tempest rolls over and hooks up Bobbie's leg. Jasmine drops down to make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Bobbie fires her arm up!
Adams: I thought that was all said and done.
Tempest slams her fist on the canvas in frustration and rolls over on to Bobbie, brutally slamming fist after fist in to her face. Bobbie covers up and tries to kick Tempest off, but Tempest keeps slamming down the punches. She gets back to her feet and moves towards the corner as Jasmine checks on Bobbie. Behind Jasmine's back, Tempest grabs the turnbuckle pad and rips it straight off!
Simone: Come on ref, you need to turn around and see this.
Adams: Jasmine is checking on Bobbie after those heavy fists.
Tempest throws the pad in to the crowd and out of Jasmine's view and moves back towards Bobbie but before she can get to Bobbie, Bobbie snakes her legs and drops Tempest with a drop toehold, dropping her to her face. Bobbie quickly rolls on to Tempest's back, wrapping her arm over her knee's and pulling her chin back with a camel clutch.
Simone: Bobbie's got that pulled back tight! Tempest might tap out!
Adams: It would be huge if she does Bubba!
Simone: Bubba?
Adams: If you know, you know.
Bobbie pulls back on the camel clutch and Jasmine checks on Tempest but Tempest shakes her head. Tempest tries to pull herself to her knees, pushing upwards and showing huge amounts of strength. Tempest gets to her knees and tries to start standing up. She plants a foot and pushes herself up with Bobbie on her back!
Simone: What incredible power from Tempest!
Tempest starts to run backwards and drives Bobbie's back in to the exposed turnbuckle ring, crashing Bobbie against it. Bobbie instantly screams out in pain holding her back and breaks the hold.
Adams: Driving in to that metal ring could do some serious damage.
Bobbie stumbles out, bent over holding her back and Tempest puts Bobbie's head between her legs. She looks around at the crowd.
Simone: I think Tempest is looking to end this.
Adams: She's a strong woman but I don't think she could lift Bobbie up for the Amazon Prime!
Tempest lifts Bobbie in to a crucifix, much to the awe of the crowd!
Simone: Tempest has Bobbie up! I can't believe what I'm seeing!
Bobbie wiggles around and slides off Tempest's back and pushes her in to the corner, face first in to the exposed turnbuckle!
Simone: Justice!
Tempest hits the canvas, spinning as she lands and Bobbie looks down. She looks around the crowd and runs to the corner, quickly bouncing on the ropes and jumping down with the Bobbie Bomb!
Adams: BOBBIE BOMB!
Bobbie stays on top and Jasmine drops down to make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner.... Bobbie Dahl!
Simone: Bobbie has done it, she's beaten her biggest threat to date!
Adams: Both literally and figuratively!
Jasmine raises Bobbie's hand as we cut elsewhere.
Into the Void cuts backstage to the SCW Bombshells Internet Champion Myra Rivers. She holds her title with confidence and there is definitely not a hint of nervousness coming from her at all. She's definitely got a peaceful vibe going into what she has already considered a dream match for her. She's really expressing that vibe as she begins to express her thoughts.
Myra: I will be the first to admit that going into any title match: whether I am defending the title or whether I am challenging for a title, there would be some hint of nervousness going in. I definitely felt it on the night that I challenged Kate Steele for this title and won. I've definitely felt it to some degree with every defense of this championship that I've had. But tonight? That's not the case at all. I know that Roxi is likely going to be my toughest challenge to date. I know that she has a history of being a giant killer in the past such as the night she won her most recent world championship here in Sin City Wrestling. I know that she's got a Hall of Fame resume here. But I'm not nervous, not even for an iota. I don't say that out of being arrogant or being overconfident, I say that coming from a place of experiencing true peace with myself as it pertains to my career for the first time since...well...ever. Yes, I know that I can lose this match. Yes, I know that it's possible to lose this championship. But aside from those two things, what else do I have to lose?
Should I wind up winning this match, I am going to become the first Bombshell ever with a 300 day championship reign in the history of this company.
And should that not be the case? Should I lose this title tonight, I will have lost it to one of the all time greats and there is no shame in that. There is no shame in falling just short of 300. There's no shame in it ending with 294 tonight. After all, 294 is still a very high number and it is still the longest reign in the history of the Bombshells division for any championship ever. There's still so much to be proud of and I know that one way or another, my future is the brightest that it's ever been. It's a uniquely bizarre feeling going into a title defense and having done everything that I have and to have the mentality that I do going into this because I know more often than not, there's all of that stress and all of that pressure on you that can take you off course, but that's not the case with me.
Myra takes a reflective pause as she thinks about her reign and she thinks about her entire journey in Sin City Wrestling up to this point. She's doing the best that she can to not get too emotional, but she's able to hold herself together.
Myra: That being said, I am not wrestling this match to lose. I am not giving a eulogy of my championship reign here, far from that. I certainly have come one hell of a long way since the day that I've been here. It really has been some kind of ride with this championship and Roxi, with all due respect to you, I am going to do whatever the hell I got to do for the ride to continue tonight. I'm not going into this match tonight with the attitude of 'there's nothing left to do with this title' as other Internet Champions before me have done. I know that there's been some Bombshells World championship chatter surrounding me, especially in light of the Blast from the Past tournament. But I'm not focused on any of that right now. I won this title from someone that was already looking ahead to trying to contend for the world championship and not only was that part of the reason why I beat her, but she still hasn't gotten to that level. I've never been one to make the same mistake any champion before me would make because especially now at this stage of my career, I have really mastered the concept of taking nothing for granted.
And I never have with this title, not now, not when this title reign ends for me, not ever! Being the Internet champion has taught me so much about being a champion in this business.
It's really made me more of a finished product than I've ever been at any point in my career and Roxi, you will have to defeat the best product that I've ever been if you want to beat me for this. If tonight is it, I couldn't think of a better woman to lose it to. But tonight ISN'T going to be it. I know in my heart that my mission with this title isn't over yet and you're going to have to fight like hell to prove otherwise just like I am going to fight like hell to keep this reign going. You're getting the very best of me I've ever been and one way or another? I know I've got nothing to be ashamed of and everything to be proud of.
Myra maintains her determined confidence as she exits the scene. As the scene ends, she's clearly not showing any sense of nervousness regarding what will definitely be one of her biggest matches to date.
Simone: Welcome back to Into the Void X! Last year Myra Rivers won the Internet Championship from Kate Steele and has had a stranglehold on it since but tonight, she faces her toughest challenge so far from Team Hero's Roxi Johnson!
Adams: Roxi had to beat five of the best Bombshells in the company to get this chance, Alicia Lukas, her wife Keira Fisher, Sam Marlowe, Lucy Seraphina and Seleana Zdunich all the way back at the beginning of the cycle to get this far and no matter who wins tonight, the fans will be the ultimate winners!
Simone: There's no time to waste, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Bombshell Internet Championship!
The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers.
Justin: Introducing the challenger, already in the ring, from Tampa, Florida and representing Team Hero, Roxi Johnson!
She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.
Simone: Roxi has done it all in SCW including a prior reign with the Bombshell Internet Title.
Adams: You'll be hard pressed to find a tougher challenger for Myra than Roxi, that's for sure!
Justin: And her opponent!
"Come to Life" by Alter Bridge hits the speakers and the crowd lets out a strong reaction of support as Myra Rivers appears on the stage, already looking to take care of business.
Justin: From Miami, Florida, she is the reigning and defending SCW Bombshell Internet Champion, Myra Rivers!
She heads down the ramp momentarily pausing at the bottom to give a quick smile at anyone nearby that is letting her know that they are behind her. Once the chorus starts, she gets inside of the ring and walks up to the opposite corner, adjacent to the ring announcer. She leans against the corner, focused and determined for her upcoming match, revelling in the continued showering of love the crowd is raining upon her.
Simone: If Myra retains tonight, she'll be the first wrestler in SCW history, male or female, to hold onto a belt for exactly one year!
Adams: And she had to beat Johanna Krieger of Wolfslair in her last defence, if Roxi can't dethrone her, then who can?
Jacob goes over the rules with both ladies and after they share a quick handshake Jacob calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: The second Internet Championship Match of the night is underway!
Adams: O'Malley and Mac Bane had one hell of a match earlier, let's see if Myra and Roxi can keep that momentum going!
Soon as the bell rings Myra and Roxi tie up in the middle of the ring and for a few minutes they are at a stalemate until Roxi takes the advantage with an arm drag taking Myra down to the matt, Myra gets back to her feet but gets met with another arm drag, this time a Japanese Style Arm Drag, and this time Roxi transitions it into an arm bar! Jacob barely has time to get into position before Myra fights her way back to her feet and backs Roxi back to the ropes where she executes an Irish Whip and nails Roxi with a Roundhouse Kick.
Simone: I felt that kick from Myra all the way over here!
Adams: People all the way back in the cheap seats felt that kick to Roxi! And Myra's going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
And Roxi gets the shoulder up! Myra doesn't bother to argue with the ref over the count as she knows its too early in the match to beat a competitor like Roxi, so she instead picks up Roxi and goes for a Suplex only for Roxi to block it and reverse it into a Snap Suplex before transitioning back into a standing position and then turning it into the Eye of the Hurricane! Roxi then goes for her first cover of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
And Myra gets the shoulder up in time! Like Myra before her, Roxi doesn't argue with the ref, instead grabbing Myra's legs and locking in a Sharpshooter.
Simone: Roxi's looking to get a submission with that Sharpshooter!
Adams: Myra won't be beat this easily, but she'll be worn down by the hold!
Jacob gets into position and asks Myra if she wants to submit but the champ shakes her head before she starts crawling over to the ring ropes hoping to force a rope break! Sensing this, Roxi tries to put on the breaks but it's no use as Myra reaches the ring ropes and Jacob tells Roxi to let go of the Sharpshooter which Roxi does immediately! Myra uses the opportunity to roll out to the ringside area to regroup whilst Roxi backs away.
Simone: Not many wrestlers would let go off the hold so soon after their opponent reached the ring ropes like Roxi just did,
Adams: There aren't many wrestlers like Roxi, but Myra is doing the smart thing by regrouping on the outside!
Jacob goes to check on Myra by leaning between the top and middle ropes and it seems a lightbulb goes off above Roxi's head as she measures up Myra for a dive and after a few seconds, Roxi does just that leaping straight over Jacob and nailing Myra with a suicide dive that brings the fans to their feet! Jacob restarts the count, but it doesn't last long as Roxi rolls Myra back into the ring and climbs onto the apron before hitting Myra with a Springboard Legdrop! Roxi goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Myra barely gets the shoulder up in time!
Simone: Myra's attempt to regroup almost cost her the title!
Adams: That would've been an anti-climatic end to her title reign, but I doubt Roxi would've complained!
This time, Roxi has a brief argument with Jacob but it's less "that was three!" and more "are you sure that wasn't three?" and once she gets confirmation that it was merely a two count Roxi goes to press the advantage as she goes to the apron and waits for Myra to get back to her feet, when she does Roxi goes for a Springboard DDT but in an instant, Myra reverses it into a Northern Lights Suplex and immediately holds on for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And this time it's Roxi that kicks out barely in time!
Simone: And now it's Roxi getting the shoulder up with seconds to spare!
Adams: Did you see the speed Myra snapped off that Northern Lights Suplex with? I thought Roxi was going for a Canadian Destroyer type move for a second there!
Like Roxi before her, Myra has a look of disbelief on her face at Roxi kicking out of her counter but quickly gets over it as Roxi backs up to the corner but gets hit with a Stinger Splash by Myra! Myra then grabs Roxi's head before leaping to the middle rope and nailing her with a Tornado DDT that sends Roxi flying across the ring! Myra quickly goes for a cover, but Jacob is slow to get into position before finally making the count.
ONE!
TWO!
And Roxi still kicks out! Myra shakes her head before taking a page out of Roxi's book with a submission hold of her own, this time a Triangle Arm Bar! Jacob is quicker to get into position this time as he asks Roxi if she wants to tap!
Simone: Myra showing why she's considered one of SCW's best technical wrestlers!
Adams: And knowing Roxi, she'll show why she's considered one of SCW's most resilient wrestlers soon enough!
Indeed, Roxi refuses to tap to the Triangle Arm Bar and starts fighting out of the hold with her free arm, her efforts pay off in the end though as one hard punch to the nose is all it takes to break the hold as Myra has to check to see if her nose is broken! Fortunately for the champion, it isn't but this gives Roxi a prime opportunity to roll up Myra from behind with a School Girl pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Myra kicks out! Both women get back to their feet and go for the exact same move at the same time, a Superkick, but all they do in the end is knock each other down.
Simone: It's anyone's game now!
Adams: Indeed, regardless of if Roxi or Myra gets up first, the first one up will have a massive advantage over the other!
Jacob's ten count reaches seven before Roxi starts to stir and Myra is slower to get back to her feet, however it is clear that the match has taken a lot out of both women and Roxi looks to end the match, and Myra's reign, as she calls for her finisher!
Simone: Roxi is looking for the Ray of Hope!
Adams: She has won many matches with that move, but can she win another title with it!
Roxi goes for the finisher once Myra is back on her feet, but Myra has it scouted ducking under the kick and hitting Roxi with a release German Suplex! Myra then picks Roxi back up only to hit her own finisher!
Simone: Spirit Breaker! Myra has hit it!
Adams: No one's ever kicked out of this! Stick a fork in Roxi, she's done!
Myra goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: HERE'S YOUR WINNER AND STILL SCW BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPION, MYRA RIVERS!
Simone: Kate Steele, Sam Marlowe, Maki twice, Seleana Zdunich, Candy, Ruby Steele, Johanna Krieger and now Roxi Johnson, all those Bombshells have failed to dethrone Myra Rivers!
Adams: I've asked this before and I'll ask this again, if Roxi can't end Myra's reign, who can?
Myra is handed back the title by Jacob, but she helps Roxi back to her feet and holds her hand up in a sign of sportsmanship.
Simone: Great sportsmanship from Myra to Roxi there!
Adams: What a match!
The champ and challenger leave together as the scene cuts to the back.
The cameras cut to the back as Lincoln Daniels is standing next to his wife. He doesn't seem to be the best of moods.
Lincoln: I blame myself for the shitty performances I've had in recent weeks. However, that's over. Mister Incredible is looking to get back on track. I will do that by doing things my way. SCW it's time to get incredible.
Lincoln laughs as Zania just smirks as the cameras cut away.
Simone: It's now time for what is sure to be one hell of a grudge match. And once again, it involves Fenris!
Adams: He gets involved in a lot of grudge matches, doesn't he?
Simone: So it seems, but that could be because it's fairly easy to piss him off…
"If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray begins to play across the building and the crowd turns with anticipation towards the entrance as "the White Wolf" Fenris emerges from behind the curtains with his younger brother at his side. As Aron looks on, Fenris stands stoically, looking out towards the capacity crowd before dropping to one knee with head bowed. He symbolically crosses his heart and looks 'up' in homage before standing upright and beginning his journey toward the ring with his brother following close behind.
Justin: Making his way toward the ring! Accompanied by Aron Baltasarsson, from Iceland, weighing two hundred and four pounds -- Fenris!
Despite the fans that reach out toward him, Fenris does not reciprocate and his attention is solely on the ring, whereas the smiling Aron good naturedly slaps a hand or two that extends toward him. Fenris climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron, turning towards the fans and extends his arms up and begins the 'Viking Clap.' Slowly but surely, despite any potential misgivings towards the young man, many fans join along with him in the Viking Clap. Aron holds the ropes for his brother, and Fenris steps through and continues the clap from one corner to the next, drawing in the energy of the crowd. Joined by Aron, Fenris returns to his own corner and paces like a wolf stalking his prey, kicking off his slippers to compete barefoot as the claps slowly subside.
Simone: If I were Brother David, I'd be very afraid right now. Just look at Fenris!
A white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Feel Invincible" by Skillet begins to play through the arena. The crowd boos and gets louder when the announcer speaks up.
Justin: On his way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma he is 6'4" and weighed in this morning at 245lb. Representing The Church of The Good Shepherds he is Brother David Shepherd!
And the boos become louder. David walks out onto the stage, throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand as he comes to the center of the stage. He walks down the aisle as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and jumps up onto the apron. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and bounces off of the ropes multiple times with high, angry energy as he waits for the match to start.
Adams: Fenris looks ready to attack.
Simone: I'm sure once that bell rings, he'll do just that…
As Fenris continues pacing, Brother David just stares across the ring at him, almost trying to strike him down just by the fiery look in his eyes! David, too, begins pacing as both men wait for the bell, and once Dawn looks between both men, she quickly calls for the bell and steps back, sensing what is about to happen!
DING DING DING!
Simone: There they go!
As soon as the bell rings, both Fenris and Brother David charge across the ring at one another. Fenris attempts a single leg takedown to get David off his feet quickly, but David moves swiftly out of the way then spins and gets his arms around Fenris in a waistlock, attempting to take him down. Fenris grabs and grapples with David's hands, trying to unlock them until he counters out of the hold and gets David into a waist lock himself. But he manages to lift David slightly then slam him down to the mat! As David tries to roll away, Fenris keeps on him and catches his arms, quickly locking it into an armbar!
Adams: Trying to break his arm right off the bat!
Simone: This would go down as one of the quickest grudge matches in history I'd imagine.
Fenris tries to get the armbar locked in tight as quickly as possible, but David counters as quickly as he can! He rolls and maneuvers himself to get back to his feet, all while Fenris still has a hold of his arm. David is hunched over as Fenris has his back on the mat and holding David's arm until David gets his right fights into Fenris' midsection! First shot isn't enough to do anything but David begins unleashing a series of shots, each with increasing strength until Fenris releases David's other arm, then rolls back as David takes a few steps back!
Simone: You know, I honestly thought this would just be an all out brawl despite both men being such technical wrestlers.
Adams: Something tells me it will head that way quickly…
Fenris jumps back to his feet and both men glare at each other, the animosity between them quite clear. They charge at one another again and when it appears they are going to tie up in the center of the ring, David switches it up and gets a knee up at the last second, striking Fenris right in the midsection! Fenris doubles over, then David hits him with an elbow to the back of the head that sends him faceplanting right down to the mat as the crowd begins booing louder and Fenris holds the back of his head.
Simone: That probably killed a few brain cells.
Adams: Or just pissed off the wolf again.
David stands over Fenris, reaches down and grabs a hold of both his arms. He plants his knee into the middle of Fenris' back and then pulls Fenris up, wrenching his arms back as he digs his knee into his back. Fenris yells out in pain as Dawn checks on him. He shakes his head furiously, refusing to submit, but he's still in a vulnerable position with no clear way out of this hold!
Adams: Oooh OUCH! That does not look like a pleasant position to be in.
Simone: That's the point.
David looks as if he is going to release the hold, but it's only for a split second as he wrenches Fenris' arms back again, tighter this time and Fenris yells out again. He shakes his head again and practically spits in Dawn's face as she has to ask him again if he wants to quit, but he refuses! David has a sick grin on his face, but his mistake comes when he leans down and goes to trash talk into Fenris' ear. Fenris uses this advantage to snap his head back, catching David in a headbutt that immediately releases the hold!
Simone: Good thinking, Fenris! That could have broken David's nose!
Fenris rolls forward and away from David, rolling out of the ring to try and gather himself and get some feeling back into his arms! David holds his face and checks for blood, but thankfully that headbutt didn't break his nose. It just temporarily stunned him and he glares angrily at Fenris who is now walking outside the ring in a quick breather. David watches and waits for his moment. He runs against the opposite set of ropes and charges across the ring, but the fans reaction gets Fenris attention and just as David does a baseball slide under the bottom rope, Fenris darts out of the way!
Simone: This needs to stay inside the ring if Dawn wants any chance of keeping it under control!
Adams: I don't think she's getting paid enough for this fight. She should ask for a raise.
Simone: And you know how much she is getting paid, how?
Adams: I don't. But it's still probably not enough!
David lands on his feet but before he can spin around to face Fenris, Fenris delivers a powerful kick to his right leg! It causes David to nearly lose his footing, but he stays on his feet and Fenris follows it up with a matching strike to David's left leg before spinning his adversary around, grabbing him by his head and shoving him into the ring apron! David's back cracks against the ring and he's left momentarily stunned as Fenris now has the upperhand!
Simone: And the tables have turned!
Fenris begins delivering a rapid fire series of punches and strikes to David's midsection, and no matter how much David tries to block each shot, he's unable to! Dawn is right by the two of them, warning them to get back into the ring, but her warnings are falling on deaf ears! Only after Fenris hits David with a powerful uppercut does he finally toss David back into the ring under the bottom rope, then rolls in himself.
Adams: That saves Dawn the task of counting this one.
Simone: But Fenris has a chance to end it here!
David is on his back, trying to recover from the assault when Fenris covers him and Dawn drops down for the count!
ONE!
TWO!
David gets his shoulder up!
Adams: Not quite…
Simone: Somehow it's going to take more than that to finish either of these men off.
Adams: yeah, like a TKO…
Fenris doesn't seem too annoyed, but rather ready to continue making David pay for the last several weeks. He has a grip on David's hair as he stands up, pulling David back to his feet along with him! He spins David around and attempts to put him in a sleeper hold, but David gets his elbow back, striking Fenris in the side of his head! Fenris manages to keep his footing and David delivers another elbow strike before spinning around and delivering a quick DDT! He sits up for a moment, breathing heavily and looking at Fenris angrily as he considers what to do next.
Simone: That's the advantage David needs to slow Fenris down, even if for a few moments.
Adams: But you can never keep the white wolf down for long!
David slowly gets back to his feet and starts walking around Fenris slow and methodical as Fenris pushes himself up to his hands and knees. David delivers a hard kick to his midsection, nearly doubling Fenris back over, but Fenris pushes through it! David goes to deliver another kick, but Fenris catches his leg and trips him up! David's back bounces off the mat and Fenris twists David's ankle into an ankle lock that has him in immediate agony!
Simone: Ankle lock! Look at how David's ankle is almost bent in half!
Adams: I'm surprised it didn't snap in two right then and there!
Fenris looks ready to snap David's ankle in half as David desperately reaches for the ropes, but he's not quite close enough! Fenris puts even more pressure on as David cries out, but shakes his head and refuses to submit as Dawn checks on him! He uses every bit of strength he has to crawl and reach towards the ropes!
Simone: He has to do something! And quick!
Adams: Fenris is hell bent on snapping his ankle!
David finally manages to grab the bottom rope and Dawn immediately yells at Fenris to break the hold! He keeps the ankle lock in just a moment longer until he finally drops David's ankle and backs away as David cowers against the ropes and holds his pained ankle. Fenris is fuming at this point, ready to finish David off, and when he charges at David, going for a knee strike to the head, David ducks down and pulls the second rope with him, causing Fenris to trip and fall through the ropes and crashes to the floor outside the ring!
Simone: And just like that, David has the upperhand again.
Adams: Am I the only one getting dizzy here?
Aron rushes over to check on his brother as David rolls under the bottom rope and just sits on the ring apron! He looks down at Fenris then to Aron, almost warning him to stay away. He drops down, limping as he tries to get feeling back into his foot before reaching down, grabbing a fistful of Fenris' hair and pulling him back to his feet! He delivers a quick and powerful headbutt that sends Fenris stumbling back! Fenris turns around and tries to start walking away from David, but David stays on the offensive as Dawn shouts at them once again, to get back in the ring.
Simone: I think you were right that Dawn isn't getting paid enough for this.
Adams: PLEASE TELL ME THAT WAS ON TAPE!
Simone: It was a one time thing, Jason…
Fenris goes to slide back into the safety of the ring, but David grabs his feet and pulls him right back out to the outside! He puts his arm around Fenris' head and sets him up for a suplex and Fenris starts delivering hard jabs to David's ribs to get him to release him! He works quickly, but effectively before shoving David away and attempting a spinning kick to the head, but David ducks and then quickly slides back into the ring! When Fenris follows suit, David gets a kick to the head, but Fenris is able to shake it off as he trips David, bringing him down to the mat and just jumps on top of him now delivering hard rights and lefts and slamming David's head into the mat!
Simone: And things are getting out of control quickly! They're now trying to kill each other!
Adams: Well, not quite yet anyway.
Once David is able to block a strike or two, he manages to counter it and rolls over, with now HIM on top of Fenris and delivering punches to Fenris' head! The two roll around the ring for several moments as Dawn tries to get the quickly escalating situation under control, but they're fast losing their tempers as they beat into one another! David is once again on top of Fenris at this point, until Fenris flips him off of him, but then transitions into a roll up pin, with David's shoulders against the mat! Dawn sees this and drops down!
Simone: David's shoulders are down!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The unexpected pinfall has left Brother David FURIOUS! He just lunges at Fenris as a brawl ensues!! Even as Dawn calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Once the bell rings and If I Had A Heart plays, the brawl is not quite over. Both men get to their feet and begin throwing punches. Fenris' is more technical, while David's is fueled strictly by rage. Both men go back and forth as the ref tries to break it up.
DING DING DING!
The second set of bells doesn't do anything as both men continue on, as if they hadn't just had a brutal match already. Fenris gets the advantage and backs David into a corner, delivering a series of body shots. But it isn't enough to stop David's rage as he ducks out of the corner. He and Fenris continue going back and forth with punch after punch. Eventually, David gets a sucker punch and uses the advantage to go on the offensive.
Simone: Come on! The match is already over!
Adams: This is proof that these two never cared about a match. They only cared about beating the crap out of one another.
DING DING DING!
As more referees come down the rampway, including referees for SCU, the fight continues on. David nearly knocks Fenris out as he backs him into the opposite corner. Jasmine St John, Ryan Richards, and Drew Patton try to pull the two apart, even as Fenris pulls David's head right into a headbutt. David shoves the referees off of him and goes to choking Fenris. He is seething, and he shouts at the top of his lungs.
David: YOU BLEEDING HEART, BLATANT HEATHEN!!!
Dylan Roberts and Jacob Summer take their turn trying to separate the two. The rough and tumble Dylan rips David off of Fenris, and David lays a Right Cross that puts Dylan on the mat. Jacob spins David around, but he throws Jacob over the top ropes. Fenris punches David right in the face, and both men are bleeding profusely now. Medical team members rush down to ringside as Dylan gets back to his feet. He tries to tackle David to the ground, but David moves. He shoves Fenris back into the corner.
DING DING DING!
The referees collectively grab onto David. As he pulls away from one, another grabs hold of him. They get him back against the ropes, holding him there as Fenris charges. He knocks them all over and through the ropes as he tumbles along with them. Fenris is on top of David, but they are both punching each other, turning over rapidly. The referees get them back to their feet and try to separate them. However, they get free once more and charge at each other. David catches Fenris by the back of the head and whips him into the barricade. Fenris catches himself and turns, but he's not ready for what David delivers!
DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!
Adams: That is one interesting headbutt!
Simone: I don't think that's a headbutt at all. And if it is, it's a very lingering one...Indeed, the crowd gasps as David has hold of Fenris' hair, and he's swapping spit with Fenris! Fenris pushes David off and Spears him into the ringpost...or rather, shoves him against it as he becomes the kissing aggressor! David pulls away and slaps Fenris before spinning him back into the ringpost and being dominant. He bites onto Fenris' lip and pulls away, leaving a little nick on the bottom lip. He glares at Fenris, who is more awestruck than anything as David backs away. David tangles his fingers in his own hair before turning and speed walking up the rampway, leaving Fenris in awe.
Backstage, we see Brother David walking through the curtains, still in a huff, and bloodied up from the match. He's riding on pure adrenaline at this point. He pushes past the interviewers waiting to ask him about what had just happened, but he holds a hand up and walks away. However, he must explain when he comes face to face with his father, Father Gerald Shepherd. Gerald grabs onto David's shoulder and stops him dead in his tracks, even as David tries to get away.
Gerald: First, you're heading to the medical tent, not the locker room.
David: I'm fine!
Gerald: Son, you must be concussed if you think you're fine! There's nothing fine about what just happened...
David: I SAID I'm fine...I'm not concussed. I'm just a little out of my mind right now. What you just saw out there was...
Gerald holds a hand up to stop his son from speaking.
Gerald: Was disgusting! Unforgivable. I thought you worked through your demons a long time ago.
David: It was a mistake! A lapse in judgment! It's not going to happen again. I'm strong enough to prove that despite a kiss, those demons are locked up and chained with His Divine and Holy will.
Gerald: No...
David: Yes! How could I ever fall for someone like that? I'm an engaged man.
Gerald: No, you're not. I forbid it. I've already instructed Virginia to let it go.
David stares at Gerald like he's said the most ridiculous thing. Gerald shakes his head and places his hand on his son's shoulder.
Gerald: The pain I've caused you in the past will no longer continue. That's not God's will. That was mine. I've learned a whole lot tonight, and...
David: You're weak! Your whole theology is weak! You can't even live by the words God Himself spoke to you. I knew there was a reason I was ready to step up to SCW before you. You're disgusting...
David shakes his head and speed walks past the medical tent and right to the locker room, slamming the door as Gerald stands there, shedding a single tear.
The scene opens up with Hitamashii backstage with GRIME Nightmare championship around his shoulder talking with his friends and fellow GRIME members in Dying Breed Andrew Garcia and Ivan Darrell. They are talking about Hitamashii's upcoming match against Samuel McPherson .
Andrew: I am looking forward to seeing you retain your title tonight.
Hitamashii: There is nothing I would rather do than destroy Samuel again and retain this GRIME Nightmare Championship.
The trio drink from their water bottles before talking more.
Andrew: I know. He has been a thorn in our side long enough. It's time to pull the thorn out.
Hitamashii: I have not forgotten about how Samuel has been a pain in our sides. I will destroy him once and for all, allowing us to move into bigger and better things.
The scene ends with them talking about other non wrestling things while Hitamashii gets ready for his match.
Liam: Next, from Las Vegas, NV standing at 6'6" and weighing in at 280lb, he is..."The Monster" Samuel McPherson!!!
Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace plays over the sound system as a large man walks out from the curtain and stands on top of the ramp, looking around with Henry standing behind him before he walks very slowly to ringside as he steps on the apron and goes over the top rope with his feet and goes to a corner to rest himself up on, looking at his opponent with intensity before the match starts.
Liam: From Hijemi, Japan, standing at 5'8" and weighing in at 192lb, he is...Hitamashii!!!
The opening riffs of Fire In Our House by Astral Doors hits the speakers and Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii" Shirasu comes out to the stage, looking smug, and stands there as the crowd gives him boos. Hitamashii walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step before he looks around the crowd, and starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head with his nose in the air to look at the crowd, their faces showing that they do not like the way he is looking down upon them. Hitamashii lowers his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Hitamashii climbs up to the apron and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him.
DING DING DING!
Rob: OH! McPherson just took Hitamashii's head almost clear off with a lariat. Hitamashii is defenseless in the corner, and Sam is just assaulting him. Sam just launched him with a huge suplex across the ring.
Ada: McPherson's already ripped the turnbuckle pad off. He's stalking Hitamashii now. But Hitamashii's firing back! He's ripping the body of the beast. Those are punishing blows from Hitamashii, and don't you forget about that!
Rob: Sam's backing off! Hitamashii's hurting him with those shots. Uh oh. Playtime is over. Mcpherson's got Hitamashii in those big paws of his. Annnnd there goes Hitamashii crashing into the exposed turnbuckle. The exposed metal caught Hitamashii right between the shoulders at the base of his neck. That's not good.
Ada: McPherson is mauling Hitamashii in the corner. Over and over again into the exposed metal. I don't know how much more of this Hitamashii can withstand.
Rob: What's Henry's got? Yeah, that's definitely not good for Hitamashii.
Ada: Henry just slid the ring crew's toolbox into the ring. McPherson's got himself a treasure chest full of diabolical choices.
Rob: Yeah, but fair is fair. Omasa...She's rushing down to the ringside area. Omasa isn't just going to standby. She's passed Hitamashii an equalizer and Sam McPherson has no idea what is waiting for him.
Ada: He does now! A hard pop with the wooden sword! Hitamashii has him discombobulated after hitting him in the face. He's swinging wildly, and missing just as bad.
Rob: Hitamashii is sticking and moving... keeping the Monstimals' weapon off his game. Oh shit! Hitamashii's move wasn't fast enough and Sam has him in his grasp again. This one is over folks! Sam's got Hitamashii over his head, and he's got bad intentions in mind.
Ada: He walks around the ring, trying his best to show off. Omasa stands by, believing in her friend, and Henry cackles at what Sam's about to do to Hitamashii.
Rob: But Hitamashii slips off of his back. He slides between Sam's legs quickly and comes to the ring post, halting to a stop! He turns around and, uh oh...Omasa just dumped a bag of thumbtacks out across the ring...
Ada: Sam barrels across the ring, and Hitamashii ducks out of the way and as Sam turns around and he lifts Sam up, Sam punches Hitamashii in the face.
Rob: Sam lifts Hitamashii up into a Spinebuster onto all of those thumbtacks. Hitamashii rolls over, trying to avoid them, but with no luck.
Ada: Sam kicks Hitamashii in the head and against the mat. He pulls Hitamashii up to his feet and throws him into the corner. Sam charges at him, but Hitamashii ducks out of the way. He rolls Sam over into a pin as he puts his feet up on the turnbuckle!
ONE!
TWO!
Rob: Henry leans in and pushes Hitamashii's feet off the turnbuckle and Sam is able to get free from the cover. He stands up from the mat with a handful of tacks.
Ada: As Hitamashii gets up, Sam reaches back and slacks Hitamashii across the side of the face, leaving several tacks stuck into his cheek! Hitamashii's eyes widen in rage.
Rob: Sam steps closer, challenging Hitamashii. He hits a punch to the cheek with the tacks, and this only serves to piss Hitamashii off as he dives forward into a Headbutt that stuns Sam.
Ada: Hitamashii tackles Sam to the ground, and the two roll around, brawling, throwing punches. Sam gets Hitamashii at the edge of the ring and he begins choking Hitamashii.
Rob: The referee tries to plead with Sam to stop, but he doesn't. Omasa walks over to the side of the ring and picks up her wooden sword. She strikes Sam and then shoves him off of Hitamashii with amazing strength for someone her size.
Ada: Those two go at it as Hitamashii holds onto his throat, shaking it off as best as he can. He pulls himself up just as Sam gets to his feet. He hits a throat thrust to Hitamashii.
Rob: Hitamashii holds onto his throat, but just as quickly, turns into a Discus Chop to Sam's throat. These two most definitely hate each other, and the motherfuckin' GRIME World Nightmare Championship is on the line, so this is going to be top notch...
Ada: Sam hits an elbow to the side of Hitamashii's head, and Hitamashii hits a low dropkick to Sam's knee, taking him down to the mat.
Rob: Sam holds onto his knee as he crawls across the thumbtacks. Hitamashii follows after, kicking Sam's knee. Sam gets over to the ropes and trips Hitamashii up. He picks up more tacks and drops them over Hitamashii's shoulders and chops down on them.
Ada: Hitamashii is looking like a pincushion now. However, Henry leans up and nails a shot right to Hitamashii's face, just as Omasa chases him off with her wooden sword. Even Henry knows better than this.
Rob: He stays out of the fight, but Omasa doesn't. She clobbers Sam across the back of the head and then throws the sword at Henry as if to say "You stay out, I will too." But that glare says "If you try anything, I'll rip your dick off."
Ada: Stop reciting Chad and Gena's honeymoon sex tape, One Night In Gena's Vag...Both men are laid out on the mat for a moment. They start moving almost at the same time. It takes a moment, but they get back to their feet.
Rob: A match of this extremity, I'm surprised both men haven't passed out from blood loss. They're both starting to look pale. Hitamashii jumps up with a Dropkick to Samuel. He goes into the corner and Hitamashii looks as if he's going for a DragonRana!
Ada: But Samuel holds on and delivers a Powerbomb of epic proportions! He then lifts him right up into The Animal Kill (Vertabreaker)!!! He hooks the legs as Omasa contemplates her next move, cheering Hitamashii on in Japanese!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Liam: Here is your winner and...NEW...GRIME World Nightmare Champion...Samuel McPherson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The crowd gives off a mixed reaction, and Sam doesn't seem as thrilled by the title as he is with the amount of blood covering the ring, forcing a mat change. He puts the belt on his shoulders and he goes to lift Hitamashii up again. Omasa wastes no time in getting inside of the ring. She goes to kick Sam, but Henry gets a lucky shot with the sword, buying just enough time for Sam to hit another Animal Kill on Hitamashii. He then grips Omasa by the throat, ready to lift her up until she kicks him repeatedly in the crotch, forcing him to let her go. But, before this can escalate any further, Lord Raab, Skag, Helena Jeckel, masked Rainbow, Javi, Chanelle, and Torielle come rushing out. Omasa would stay to fight them, but seeing Raab go for Hitamashii's limp body, she drags him over to the ropes and outside. She drags him to the rampway, where Henry throws her wooden sword back at her, as if mocking her from moments ago. GRIME oddly enough lets them go, and gives time for Henry to celebrate for Samuel. He raises his arm up and forces the fans to look at their new GRIME World Nightmare Champion as we go elsewhere.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome back to the stage - Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd applauds as the stage is dark, and one can hear a church organ playing in the background. Suddenly the stage is illuminated by a spotlight, and there stands Amanda dressed as a Catholic nun. The music starts and Amanda holds up her robes and does the craziest, silliest dance for a Nun that you've ever seen while the song begins...
Amanda: Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel a power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer
No choice, your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (oh)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
It's like a dream to me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there (oh)
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer
No choice, your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer
No choice, your voice can take me there
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer
(It's like a prayer)
(It's like a prayer)
(Your voice can take me there)
(It's like a prayer)
(It's like a prayer)
(Your voice can take me there)
(It's like a prayer)
Amanda stops dancing and blows out the candle in her hands and the spotlight goes out and the crowd cheers!
The crowd is in a state of anxious anticipation as they watch and wait. They then begin to applaud as SCW's senior referee, Jasmine St. John, climbs the ringside steps and enters the ring, between the middle and bottom rope. She surveys the scene around her, hands on hips, and then takes her place in the near corner while shaking heads with Justin Decent who stands nearby.
Simone: Double Main Event this evening, and we are about to see the first of TWO World Championship matches.
Adams: It's been a LONG day but it's all been worth it to get to the two big ones! ... That didn't sound right. Edit! Edit!
Simone: Jason, we're live.
Adams: I know that. I was talking to the writer.
Simone: ....... What?
The arena lights dim as the bassline to "Never Again" begins to rumble around the arena. As the guitar riff hits, so does the lights, revealing Mark "The Dragon" Cross standing, one fist aloft, at the top of the aisle. Receiving recognition from the crowd, he strides purposefully to ringside, taking a moment to survey the scene as he reaches the apron.
Adams: Mark Cross has sure waited a long time for this, hasn't he?
Simone: Indeed he has. He has already made history by being the first back-to-back Blast From the Past winner. Tonight he hopes to take one more step in the pages of history by finally winning that elusive World Heavyweight Championship.
"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.
Adams: Jack sure looks confident. You can just see him picking Mark Cross apart with his eyes!
Simone: He has every right to be confident. He did what he said when he regained the World Heavyweight title from one of the best in Kris Ryans. I just hope he's not too overconfident because that has cost him in the past.
The two men stare hard at one another, determination and confidence etched on both faces as Justin begins the introductions.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall - and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Introducing the challenger! From Canterbury, England, standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 225lb, he is the 2021 Blast From the Past Champion ...Mark "The Dragon" Crrrrrrrrrosssssss!!!
Mark steps out of his corner, arm raised as he stares right at the champion, the crowd cheering him on.
Justin: His opponent is the reigning and DEFENDING World Heavyweight Champion! From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing two hundred and thirty five pounds -- Jack Washington!
Jack smiles with a smug sense of superiority as he strips the belt from around his waist and steps right up into Mark's own face, holding the title up high! Jasmine has to hurriedly separate the two studs and she sends them back to their corners. Jasmine then takes the world title belt and showcases it first to Mark, then she holds it up for one and all to see and to appreciate.
Simone: The World Heavyweight Championship! The top prize for the Superstars!
Jasmine then passes the title belt out to Justin and she calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Simone: And here we go!
Adams: Time to see if The Dragon can finally cash in and become the champion!
Mark and Jack circle the ring to size one another up before they meet in the center and lock up, collar and elbow. Champion and challenger struggle and strain as they use their feet against the canvas to leverage against the other. Jack slowly manages to gain the upper hand, backing Mark up against the ropes and he holds him there. Jasmine calls for the break...
ONE!
TWO!
And a smiling Jack breaks clean to the surprise of many, taking a step back but not before he pats Mark's cheek in a condescending manner.
Simone: Wow. If that wasn't insulting, then I don't know what is.
Mark stares at him, but says nothing as he comes off of the ropes. The two begin to slowly circle again, and they lock up a second time. Like before, they struggle briefly and again the champion takes the advantage, backing Cross into the ropes. But before anything can be done, the much more experienced Mark Cross reverses their position, backing Jack up against the ropes. Jasmine now calls for the clean break...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!...
And Mark does indeed break clean, and he returns the favor by rustling the champion's hair as he does so! The crowd laughs as Cross smiles and Jack is INFURIATED at the disrespect! He argues with Jasmine and points at Mark...!
Adams: What. A. Tool! It was funny when he did it but when Mark does it to him, he starts crying to Jasmine?
Simone: Jack Washington is a confident and successful athlete but he has the maturity level of a newborn.
Seeing his complaints are falling on deaf ears, Jack power walks up to Mark and shoves him! Mark answers back with a shove of his own, putting the champion on his ass and stunning him! Jack rights himself and leaps to his feet, charging Mark but Mark throws him over with an arm drag! Jack is right back up and this time Mark sweeps his legs out from under him and a cover!
ONE!
Jack kicks out!
Jack jumps up and swings but Mark ducks and takes him over with a back slide!
ONE!
TWO!
Jack kicks out!
Jack is right back on his feet and he gets pulled into an inside cradle!
ONE!
TWO!
Jack kicks out AGAIN and immediately rolls to the outside where he kicks the barricade, separating the fans from the action!
Adams: Temper, temper!
Simone: It's like I said; the maturity of a newborn.
A frustrated Jack walks around the ring slowly, hands on hips, regaining his bearings when he looks up and Cross is sitting on the middle rope, holding them open and he waves his arm, inviting the champion back in the ring.
Adams: Ooo!
Now infuriated, Jack stomps around the ring and rolls back inside, but Mark is right on him and he has him on his knees in a tight side headlock. Jack manages to force his way to his feet and he attempts to use the ropes to throw Mark off, but Cross holds on tight and does not release the side headlock. Jack complains about a hair pull to Jasmine...
Simone: Oh give me a break!
But the referee saw nothing so she can do nothing. Mark then quickly releases him, witching to a standing front facelock. Mark then begins to bring his knee up into Jack's exposed face and sternum area, displaying his expertise in the Strong Style. Mark sends him into the far corner and comes charging in, but Jack greets him unceremoniously with a boot to the face! Jack then snapmares Cross over and drops down to roll him back into a crucifix...
ONE!
TWO!
Mark kicks out!
Jack attempts to wrest control away from his challenger and drags him to his feet, but Mark picks him up over his shoulder - Jack slides down in a sunset flip but Cross rolls through! He is back on his feet and lays Washington out with a side boot right to the head!
Adams: Dayum! Every thing Jack has tried, Mark has had an answer for!
Simone: There is simply no substitute for experience.
Mark nods with a smile as he pulls Jack to his feet and ripcords him back and into a high knee strike. Mark then scoops him up onto his shoulders for the GTS - and Jack knows it to! Jack starts to struggle on Mark's shoulders when there is a thumb to the eye and Mark drops the champion!
Simone: And of course he did it where Jasmine couldn't see!
Mark staggers, holding his eye as Jack recovers, standing up with a smirk of his own. He comes in quickly and Jasmine ducks out of the way as Cross falls victim to a discus clothesline that sends him into a tailspin! Head over heels! Jack jackknifes him...!
ONE!
TWO!
Th-Mark kicks out!
Adams: That was close! The champ almost caught him by surprise!
Simone: This close to retaining!
Jack pulls the challenger up and delivers a scoop slam that has Cross's body bouncing off of the mat! Jack vaults to the top of the near corner in one fluid motion, and pauses in wait as Mark slowly gets to his feet. Mark looks around but sees nothing until it's too late and Jack leaps, delivering a missile dropkick but landing on his feet as Mark is sent crashing!
Simone: NOW we are seeing why Jack is a two-time champion! The man may be an arrogant jackass but he is an athletic arrogant jackass!
Jack stands in center ring with a bright smile, holding his arms out and turning in a full circle as the fans at the Golden Ring Casino boo him! Jack sneers and shakes his head, waving them off before he goes back to work. Mark is in the corner, using the ropes to drag himself to his feet and Jack moves in and lays in three straight right hands to the head, right before he presses a boot up and against his throat in a blatant choke in front of the official!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Jack breaks, rather than be disqualified, and as Jasmine admonishes him, Jack responds by puckering his lips at her. He moves back in and drags Mark out with a front facelock and lifts him up high in the air for a delayed vertical suplex! Jack just HOLDS him there for several seconds and even shows off with some squats! He then FINALLY falls back and Mark crashes hard! Cross arches his back in pain as Jack springs to the near middle turnbuckle and launches himself off for a guillotine leg drop! Jack rolls over onto his back against Cross's sternum and hooks both legs in confidence!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Kick out by the challenger!
Adams: Jack looks stunned!
Simone: He truly thought he had Cross but this is showing the heart of the challenger!
Jack jumps to his feet and gets in Jasmine's face, arguing with her over the count!
Simone: Careful buddy! Champion or not, she's not the referee you want to try and intimidate!
Jack fumes as he turns around and he drags Cross to his feet! Jack scoops him up for a shoulder breaker but Mark kicks free and lands on his back behind him! Mark grabs him in a rear waist lock and tries to run him into the corner but Jack ducks and Mark hits the turnbuckles hard! Jack is all smiles as he taps his temple in self indulgence. Jack then picks him up onto his shoulders and he goes for the Answer (DVD), but Mark counters and holds on, rolling him up for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Kick out!
Adams: Mark almost caught him!
Mark is on his feet but Jack lays him out with a superkick! Angry now, Jack drags him into position and then goes up top once again! Jack readies himself and then jumps for a 450 splash - but Mark brings his knees up and Jack lands stomach-first!
Adams: OHH! We may just see what Jack had at the buffet!
Jack's face is contorted in agony as he holds his stomach, staggering about on his knees and falls over! Jasmine checks both men and she begins to issue her count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Jack struggles in the ropes to drag himself to his feet!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Mark gets to his hands and knees and forces his way back to a vertical base! Mark comes in slowly and Jack doubles him over with a boot to the midsection! Jack grabs him in a hammerlock and ripcords him for a Rainmaker, but Mark drops down and lays him out with a Pele kick! Jack falls back into the ropes, out on his feet! He ricochets off and this time Mark returns the favor by laying HIM out with a superkick! Mark now with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Jack has his leg on the bottom rope!
Adams: Lucky thing for Jack that Jasmine saw that!
Simone: Indeed! If she hadn't, we'd have a new champion!
Mark looks pleadingly toward the referee, then at Jack's boot on the bottom rope! Mark drags Jack up to and off of his feet, depositing him on the top turnbuckle. Mark climbs up and Jack starts fighting him off with right hands, knocking Cross down to the mat. Mark then gets a running start and jumps, hitting a high knee right to the champion's exposed head! Mark then climbs up quickly, drapes his arm over his shoulder and hits a SUPERPLEX! Mark dives on top of him for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-KICK OUT!!!
Mark flays on the mat in disbelief and frustration!
Simone: So close! SO CLOSE!
Mark sits on the mat, running his hands down his face as he stares at the resilient champion! Mark drags Jack to his feet and sends him into the ropes and strikes a hard knee! He then goes to send him into the opposite side for another but Jack somehow ducks behind him and hits a bridging German suplex from out of nowhere!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Mark gets a shoulder up!
Jack YELLS in frustration! Jack turns and grabs Mark by the hair and BASHES his head into the mat! Then again - AND AGAIN! Jack stands and SLOWLY drags Mark to his feet and he begins to lay in the Joe Frazier Special! Strike after strike until he aims for a left hook - Mark blocks it! Mark grabs Jack in a double under hook and --!
Adams: Ketteiteki Desaki!!!
Mark with the jackknife cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner - AND NEEEWWWWWWW World Heavyweight Champion!!! Mark! The Dragon! CROSS!!!
The crowd cheers as Jasmine presents the championship belt to Mark and raises his arm in the air! The crowd is on its collective feet as Mark climbs the turnbuckle and raises his newly won World Championship high for all to see!
Adams: He did it! HE DID IT!!!
Simone: Mark Cross has finally won the big one!
Adams: Two-time Blast From the Past winner and NOW the World Champion!
Jack leaves the ringside area as Mark continues his celebration, moving to another corner to again raise his title high!
A visibly shaken and flustered "White Wolf" aka Fenris is storming through the backstage hallway, running his fingers through his hair as his brother Aron hurries along after him, keeping pace to catch up.
Aron: K ... K! Will you stop a minute and TALK to me! What happened out there!?
Fenris spins around and his eyes are wide and his tanned flesh is flushed.
Fenris: How the HELL should I know!? I...
Bobbie: FENRIS!
The brothers' heads turn and they spot mutual friend Bobbie Dahl coming along their path, with Artie in tow. She stops right in front of Fenris, eyes wide in amazement and pointing back the way he came in the direction of the arena.
Bobbie: What the hell was THAT!? And ... when is it going to happen AGAIN!?
Fenris stares at her in disbelief, the frown on his face deepening until Aron places a hand on his shoulder and distracts him briefly.
Aron: K! What. Happened!?
Fenris: I DON'T KNOW!!!
He roars.
Fenris: Why the FUCK did he have to kiss me!?
Aron: Why did you have to kiss him BACK!?
Fenris: That fucker stole my gum!
Fenris storms off, pushing his way past everybody and Aron quickly excuses himself and hurries after his brother. Bobbie and poor Artie stare after them in surprise, Bobbie shaking her head.
Bobbie: Gay sex is so hot!
And you could hear the record scratch as it comes to a stop. All heads turn, and all eyes are on Bobbie. She side eyes left and right and smiles before grabbing Artie by the arm and quickly hurrying along.
Backstage, Pussy Willow stands by SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas for an on-the-spot interview segment.
Pussy Willow: Mercedes, tonight things didn't go your way in the Queen for a Day match but it's not the loss everyone is talking about, it's what just happened earlier. Why did you attack Bella Madison who wasn't even in your match to begin with?
Mercedes pushes back a stray strand of hair out of her eyes with the back of her hand.
Mercedes: You want to know why I attacked Bella? It's simple, PW.
As she says this, Mercedes holds up three fingers.
Mercedes: Porque puedo, porque quiero, y porque ¿quién es el que me dice que no podría? Because I can, because I want to, and because who is anyone to tell me I couldn't?
A faint smile touches the corner of her lips, but the GRIME World Nightmare Champion takes her right hand and swipes over her face and as she does the smile disappears, now replaced with a serious expression.
Mercedes: Turns out Bella was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.
She feigns remorse with an apologetic frown.
Mercedes: Oops.
The camera returns to the ringside area, showcasing the SCW ring from an overhead shot. The crowd applauds as stepping through the ropes is referee Drew Patton. He surveys the scene as the crowd applauds politely and he takes his place in the near corner as Justin Decent stands against the ropes...
"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston begins to blast all across the speakers and as it does we are able to see Ruby Steele emerging from the curtain. She is clad in a sparkling ruby glow in the dark jacket. The jacket shines brightly and she excitedly sprints to the ring slapping the hands of the roaring fans. She does some cartwheels before finishing up with one massive backflip. She giggles before she slowly slides into the ring. She nips up to her feet and blows kisses to the crowd before she bounces about waiting for the match to begin.
Simone: That young lady right there has shown massive amounts of potential since her debut, and has the winning record to prove it; having only been defeated once since her debut. And she is confidant enough to let people know it.
Adams: Every. Chance. She. Gets.
Pulsing, red lights rolls over the crowd like a rising tide to the opening echoing thudding stomp and clap of 'Dust And Bone' by Syd Duran, fluctuating in time with the heavy beat as it continues into the opening vocals.
Most cheer in anticipation, but there are few who still jeer due to affiliations or just the fickle nature of a wrestling crowd on any given night. Atop the ramp, the lithe silhouette of the Distorted Angel seems to have materialised, soaking up the crowds reaction and energy. Fans reach out for acknowledgement and wave signs in the same way that others lean out over the rail as much as they dare to yell expletives and empty threats- some get a perceptive nod, a sly wink or perhaps even a kiss blown in sarcasm towards the most derisive. Fluidly, Amber circles the ring- beelining for a camera person before trying to mess with them or talking some shit down into the camera lens.
Slipping under the rope, Amber doesn't call for fanfare nor adulation, just making her way to the closest turnbuckle so that she might leisurely perch herself on the top with hands clasped and elbows resting on her knees in rather non-plussed outside of the trademark sly smirk seemingly ever-present on her features.
Adams: Look at Ruby. I think the realization is beginning to sink in. And so are those butterflies.
Simone: One can hardly blame her. This woman, Amber Ryan, has been one of the single most dominant forces in the entire Bombshell division. And now the rookie has to face this ruthless competitor to try and become the new World Champion.
Now things quiet down slightly as the two women stare at one another from their respective corners as Justin begins the introductions.
Justin: The following contest is the MAIN EVENT of Into the Void X! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Bombshell Championship!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Introducing first, the challenger! From London, England, she is the co-winner of the 2021 Blast From the Past Memorial - Ruby Steele!
The crowd cheers as Ruby beams at them and waves both hands.
Justin: Her opponent is from Atlantic City, New Jersey. She is the reigning and defending World Bombshell Champion - Amber! RYAN!
The crowd boos (with scattered cheers) as Amber steps from her corner and holds the World title belt up high in one hand, staring right at Ruby. Amber then backs up and hands the title over to Drew. He shows it to Ruby before holding it up for one and all to see. Drew then passes the championship belt out to Justin and calls for the bell!
Simone: Here we go!
Drew Patton is standing in the middle of the ring while holding the Bombshell World Championship in his hand. He holds it up high as the crowd seems to be split right down the middle. Amber Ryan is bouncing back and forth in her corner as Ruby is busy trying to get the crowd hyped up.
Simone: I can't wait to see these two square off.
Adams: Into The Void has been awesome and it's now time for the main event to end the show.
Drew walks over to the ring technician and hands him the championship belt through the ropes. Drew comes back to the center of the ring and motions towards both competitors. Amber gives him a slight nod of her head as Ruby smiles widely. Patton lifts his hand up and wiggles his index finger toward the time keeper.
DING DING DING!
Once the bell sounds, Amber sprints out of her corner, leaps into the air and comes crashing down onto Ruby who wasn't expecting the sudden movement. Amber backs up a bit before charging again and crushing Ruby with a hard clothesline. Amber holds her up while delivering multiple body shots with her fists then follows it up with three knife edge chops across her chest. Amber backs away before Drew could admonish her. She charges again but Ruby counters with a quick dropkick to Amber's knee. This causes Amber to smash face first into the second turnbuckle.
Ruby moves out of the corner before slamming her boots into the chest of Amber before charging towards the opposite side of the ring. As she comes back toward the corner, Amber explodes out of the corner with a corkscrew calf kick. Ruby drops quickly as Amber hops back up onto her feet before landing across Ruby's throat with a leg drop. Amber quickly goes for the cover as Drew slides into position.
ONE!
TW...
Ruby manages to roll her shoulder up before Drew is able to smack the canvas for a two count. Amber looks at Drew before picking Ruby up by a handful of her hair. Amber then hooks her arm around Ruby's neck while cranking back on it. Drew checks to make sure it's a legal hold while checking to see if Ruby is okay. Amber keeps her arm wrapped around the neck before throwing Ruby right back down with a headlock takeover.
Simone: Amber is putting on a wrestling clinic right now.
Adams: I feel that Ruby will turn it around though.
Amber continues to crank on the neck until Ruby rolls Amber over and pins her shoulders onto the mat.
ONE!
Amber manages to roll back over before the count of two. Ruby does it again as Drew counts again.
ONE!
TWO!
Amber rolls over again as she starts dropping several rights onto the head. She continues to throw punches as this allows Ruby to fight her way up to a knee. Amber is trying to keep control until Ruby jams her elbow right into the ribcage. Amber grunts as Ruby jams her elbow again and again. Amber grunts louder as Ruby manages to throw Amber over her own back. Amber is just getting back to her feet as Ruby strikes with a front dropkick.
The force of the kick sends Amber towards the ropes. Amber uses the ropes to stand up as Ruby comes charging at her and knocks Amber over the ropes with a vicious clothesline. Unfortunately for Ruby, Amber manages to land on the apron. Ruby quickly grips the top rope, slingshots herself over the ropes then grabs Amber around the head and drives her face first onto the apron.
The crowd goes nuts as Ruby bounces around while slapping the hands of a couple fans in the front row.
Simone: Wow!!!! I didn't come from Ruby.
Adams: You can't count her out.
Ruby comes back to Amber who is just getting back up to her feet. Ruby slams a forearm down across the back while grabbing Amber by the head. She leads her around the ring before whipping her back first into the barricade. Ruby does it a few more times before lifting Amber up and dropping her chest first onto the top of the barricade. Amber is grasping her chest as Ruby throws a few kicks into the chest before picking her up. She goes to shoot her off towards the steel steps.
Amber manages to counter it but Ruby hops up onto the steps. She leaps off backward looking for a moonsault but Amber catches her out of midair and drives hard into the ground. Ruby bows her back up as Amber grabs another handful of hair, pulls Ruby up and throws her back into the ring. Amber takes a minute to catch her breath before hopping up onto the ring apron. She looks at Ruby while springing off the ropes looking for a clothesline but Ruby manages to catch Ruby with a superkick which knocks her down. Ruby quickly goes for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THR…….
Drew is just about to come down for a three but Amber manages to kick her legs out. Ruby couldn't believe it as she looked at Drew. He assures her it was a two count. Ruby gets right back up to her feet while running towards the ropes. She springs off the middle rope with a backflip style move. Ruby comes landing right down onto Amber. Ruby doesn't go for the cover right away as she runs toward the ropes.
Adams: What is Ruby thinking?
Simone: She should have gone for the cover after hitting the Lionsault.
Ruby scales up to the top and waits for Amber to get back up to her feet. Amber starts to get up as Ruby is using the time to hype the crowd up even more. As Amber finally stands up, Ruby launches herself off the top looking for a high cross body but Amber catches her in midair with a double knee facebreaker. Ruby lands on her shoulder as Amber pops herself back up and strikes with a baseball slide to the lower back. Amber then drops an elbow right across the shoulder. Amber pulls Ruby up before dropping her shoulder right down across her knee. Ruby is squirming around as Amber comes bouncing off the ropes and lands with a body press.
Amber goes for a quick cover as Drew slides into position.
ONE!
TWO!
Ruby kicks out as Amber is shaking her head.
Simone: What is it going to take to put Ruby away?
Amber gets back up to her feet and runs toward the ropes. Right as she rebounds, Ruby kips up to her feet then hooks her legs around Amber's neck and throws her across the ring with a hurricanrana. Amber lands on her upper back while rolling onto her knee. Ruby quickly gets back up and charges at Amber. She uses Amber's own knee as a trampoline before connecting with an enzuigiri to the side of Amber's head. Amber drops to her face as Ruby shoots the half.
ONE!
TWO!
Amber kicks out as Ruby slaps the canvas a couple of times. She gets back up to her feet, runs toward the ropes and comes sprinting back towards Amber. Amber is slowly getting back up to her feet but Ruby catches her with a ddt. Ruby once again floats over and looks for another cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THR...
Amber once again kicks out as Ruby can't believe it. She looks toward the crowd who are going nuts as she bends down to pick Amber up off the canvas. As she does, Amber sneaks her legs around Ruby's arms and pulls her into a very sharp small package.
ONE!
TWO!
Ruby kicks out instantly as Amber rolls over onto her knees. Both women have made it back to their feet as they look at each other. Amber goes for a collar elbow tie up but Ruby grabs one of the arms and tosses her over with an armdrag. Amber lands on the canvas, pops back up and charges at Ruby. Ruby catches her again with an arm drag.
Simone: The speed of Ruby is proving to be a challenge for Amber.
Adams: So far this match has lived up to the hype.
Amber rolls out of the ring hoping to stop the momentum. Amber walks back and forth but doesn't see Ruby sprinting towards her. As Ruby comes flying through the ropes, Amber catches her with a hard left hand. The shot stops Ruby dead in her tracks as she lies across the ring ropes. Amber seizes the opportunity to strike with a drive by style dropkick knocking Ruby back into the ring.
Amber slides back into the ring and quickly stomps Ruby down a bit. After the stomps, she drops her elbow down across the back as Ruby screams. Amber pops back up to her feet, grabs a hold of Ruby's arm while pulling her up to her feet. Amber keeps control of the arm while hooking her leg around Ruby's neck. In one fluid motion, Amber falls backward while spiking Ruby's head into the canvas.
Simone: The Calling Card could be it.
Amber doesn't waste any time as she quickly pulls Ruby back up to her feet, hooks both of her arms before kicking her leg out and dropping Ruby right back down onto her head a second time. Amber then hooks both legs while going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and still SCW World Bombshell Champion AMBER RYAN!!!!!
Amber slowly gets to her feet as Drew hands her the belt. Amber looks down at Ruby Steele before standing over her while raising the title above her head.
Simone: All it took was one Original Sin and that's all she wrote.
Adams: The question is who is going to beat Amber Ryan.
Amber exits the ring as her music continues play.
Simone: That Jason, is a question for another day because we are all out of time right now. Join us in two weeks time when Climax Control will be back on the air and we will deal with the fall out of this show. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!
The scene fades to Amber standing on the ramp, raising the Bombshell championship above her head.
