The camera cuts to the top of the stage area where a huge banner is seen with the words SCW Hall of Fame written on it. The light's drop out and a spotlight hits the top of the ramp and "Midnight/Tornado" starts to blast out from the speakers. Hot Stuff Mark Ward appears through the curtain, dressed in a suit and tie, looking every part the boss as he walks towards a podium on the top of the stage. The fans cheer as he stands in front of the microphone, looking around at the crowd.

HS: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to High Stakes XI and the Hall of Fame 2021!

The crowd in attendance cheer.

HS: Tonight, we honour the latest class to join the Hall of Fame, the place where everyone wants to be. We have tonight one of the greatest classes to ever join the stars of the past and present, so let's get started and introduce to the stage a Hall of Famer himself, the manager of the Seven Deadly Sins.... SYNN!

Orgy's hit "Opticon" played across the sound system of the Garden, and out onto the stage emerged none other than the "Dark Priest" also known as Synn. Clad in a red dress shirt with a black dress jacket, matching slacks and shoes, Synn pauses just long enough to cast that emerald green stare around the building as they cheer and applaud his arrival. He then walks slowly with a purpose over to the microphone where he exchanges a handshake with "Hot Stuff" himself. Mark then takes a step back as Synn takes position at the podium.

Synn: This night, this very moment, is long overdue. And I am going to apologize now because while many have accused me a time or two of liking the sound of my own voice, this one time I won't have to ramble on endlessly. There is no need. The man that we are here for tonight is and has always been a man of few words. For years his best work was not done behind a microphone but inside of the ring. He could talk and yell. He could threaten. But it was the fact that he was a walking monolith that was without a doubt his best attribute as a professional wrestler.

Synn looks offstage.

Synn: Jake? You're going to have to forgive me because even after all of this time, I still find it difficult to think of you as anyone else other than Rage, so indulge me. Much of this time, this honor, is meant for that very same member of the Seven Deadly Sins; my pride and joy.

Synn then turns back to the audience to resume his speech.

Synn: I've known Rage for a very long time, before the Sins stable was officially a thing. He's perhaps third only to 'Sxxxy' Shane Boswell and Fantasia...

A camera shot of the two wrestling greats watching on with smiles.

Synn:... In my longest known acquaintances in this business, and it was not always the camaraderie that you perhaps had grown accustomed to over the years. I first met Rage back in the old GXW promotion - Generation X Wrestling, and it was anything but pleasant for either of us.

He then appears thoughtful with a smile.

Synn: Well, for the most part.

Cut to a shot of Jake Sullivan aka Rage, giving Synn the universal 'zip it' sign.

Synn: But in all seriousness, this was back in my own days as an active competitor, and as the two biggest alphas at the time, it was a matter of who was the biggest, the baddest, and the best. Nothing was ever settled between us, save for the fact that when my dream of the ultimate 'family' came to be, I knew Rage had to be a piece of that puzzle. And in time, he became not one of my most prized jewels in my collection but also a damned fine friend.

To any who watched him, it came as no surprise that this man was such a success inside of the ring. The so-called experts swore it would be just a matter of time before he self imploded. That if you could not control your anger in the ring, your opponent would take advantage every time. Well, every time Rage proved his critics wrong. He did not even bother to control his anger. He simply channeled it to his advantage like no other I've seen before and mowed down anyone who thought they could wall up the dam that was his unbridled anger. From his time in GXW, right to his time in SCW, Rage lived up to all of his potential, capturing championships including being one-half of the first World Tag Team Champions and later regaining the championship for a second time. He was the Internet Champion, and three times he stood at the top of the mountain as the World Heavyweight Champion.

There is a scattering of applause.

Synn: I have to admit that I was not happy when Rage - no - Jake, came to me and told me that it was high time that he hung up his boots and retire. He felt he had accomplished everything that he wanted to accomplish and focus solely on his family. I disagreed. Not about wanting to be there for his family. God knows I made that exact same decision, but about having accomplished all there was. I felt, and believe to this day, that Jake had so much more time in the spotlight. Jake...?

Synn looks offstage to where Jake Sullivan aka Rage would be.

Synn: If you weren't being an absolute monster inside of the ring, you were being a valued member of this crazy little family that I've found myself surrounded by all of these years. You've been "Uncle Rage" to my own son Joshua, who caused you more crazy adventures than you'd ever care to admit. But you are here, tonight, receiving an accolade long overdue for a man who has had such a career.

Synn turns back to the mic and the audience.

Synn: Ladies and gentlemen, the newest inductee into the Class of 2021 Hall of Fame - Jake Sullivan. Rage!

Jake stands up to a round of applause and makes his way to the stage. He and Synn share a quick handshake before Jake takes his place behind the podium and Synn heads to his seat in the audience. The applause finally dies down, allowing Jake his time to speak.

Jake: Thank you, Synn, for every single word you just spoke. I knew out of everyone, you'd have the best choice of words for this special occasion, even though there have been times I don't feel I deserve such praise. But again, thank you.

He pauses and Synn just nods while the audience remains quiet.

Jake: When I first started in this business, there wasn't even a thought in my mind that I'd make it this far. I had no clue whatsoever that I'd wind up being inducted into a Hall of Fame one day, because honestly, it wasn't even in my thought process. I was brought into this business as a sort of henchman because of my anger issues, and if the woman who was the main reason for that was still alive today, I'd be speaking directly to her right now. And I'm referring to the Hall of Fame Bombshell, Misty.

He pauses again, looking up quickly before looking back to the audience.

Jake: She's the first person I need to thank. Without her, I wouldn't have gotten involved in wrestling. Without her, I wouldn't have met Electra Blaze who would eventually give birth to my daughter, Ember.

The camera catches Jake's teenage daughter, Ember, sitting in the audience along side Kittie and her little brother, Jax.

Jake: Misty used me for selfish reasons, yes. But it opened my thought process to so much more. She started the chain of events that ultimately led to me being here, but she doesn't get all the credit. Because the reason I'm standing here today is because of a lot more people than her. Mark Ward and Christian Underwood...thank you both for seeing something in my time within SCW to cement my name in the history books forever. Even though you chose to induct Casey Williams before me.

Jake smirks ever so slightly and some laughter is heard from the audience. Mark and Christian are both seen giving him a thumbs up and Jake just chuckles before he continues.

Jake: All jokes aside now, the real people I need to thank for me being up here today are the group of people sitting right here just a few rows in front of me. The people who, for the most part aren't flesh and blood, but they've been my family for longer than ten years now. Shane Boswell and Fantasia...it was just the three of us for the longest time. You encouraged and guided me along the way, so thank you.

Switch to Shane Boswell and Fantasia seated in the audience. Shane nods and Fantasia gives Jake a proud smile.

Jake: Thank you to Gabriel for knowing how to push my buttons and piss me off just enough that I knew how to channel it in the ring. Ya know, like the constant bald jokes? And thanks to Odette for your support over the years and becoming a part of this crazy family, too.

Gabriel is seen smirking in the audience but he gently applauds his stable mate and Sins family member.

Jake: And Despayre. Despy...Oh man, I could say a hell of a lot up here to you, kid, but I'm already close to running my time up. Thank you the ridiculous sparring sessions that kept me on my toes in the ring. Thank you for the constant kicks to the shin. Thank you for being a hell of a tag team partner even if you didn't want to be and even if it was short lived. My time in SCW would have been up long before it was if it weren't for you. So thanks, buddy. Oh and Angel too. Can't forget Angel.

The camera switches to Despayre, clutching Angel in his arms. He holds his teddy bear companion up and the crowd claps and some cheers follow.

Jake: Thank you to Jamie Staggs wherever the hell you are, for being my first tag team partner and one of the reasons I'm up here today. Even though you're still a pain in the...

Jake looks to Despayre who is about to yell SWEAR JAR.

Jake: ...butt. Thank you to crazy wife and kids, Kittie, Ember and Jaxon. Kittie and Ember, you two encouraged me to keep at it when I was ready to call it quits. You wanted me to keep going, and I would have, but I've done all I could do in this ring. The real treat is staying home with the three of you. So thank you for believing I could still continue at this point. I'm a better man because I have you three.

Before finishing up, Jake turns his attention back to Synn, saving the most important for last, it seems.

Jake: And Synn...you're perhaps the biggest reason I'm standing up here today. Things might not have started out on the best of terms with the two of us back in our GXW days, but it eventually led to you seeing something in me and not giving up until I was a part of this dysfunctional at times family that we call the Seven Deadly Sins. You saw the potential in me and knew I'd fit in, and I'm glad you didn't give up until I was a part of all of this. You guided me. You managed me. You helped me in any and every way you could over the years and it's because of you that I'm being inducted into the Hall of Fame today. I'm sure I'll never be able to repay you for every thing you've done for me over the years, but I'll damn sure try.

Another round of applause as Jake and Synn exchange nods.

Jake: And thank you to each and every one of the fans, and the entire SCW locker room over the years. I could go on and on thanking you all individually, but there wouldn't be enough time. This is a huge honor for me, and my time in SCW was one amazing roller coaster ride. Thank you all!

Jake steps back from the podium to a final round of applause as he waved to everyone in attendance.

Hot Stuff walks back to the podium.

HS: Welcome to the Hall of Fame Jake. Please ladies and gents, welcome to the stage, Ben Jordan.

"Blame it on the Boom Boom" starts to play as Ben Jordan approaches the podium. He looks around the crowd with a wide smile on his face. He waits for a few seconds for the music to fade.

Ben: Alright people!

The crowd cheer.

Ben: Every year, SCW honours these amazing people, putting them with the elite in this business, every year, I see some amazing people go in to the Hall of Fame and I have had the pleasure of inducting more than one, but this year people, I am so excited. They say the wrestling business is a tough one, where you don't make good friends but that people is not true, because I have made many that will last as long as my old ticker does. Today, I am so proud to be standing here talking about one of my closest friends.

Ben pauses for just a second as he smiles.

Ben: We have been up pretty much every road together, we have watched each other put on great matches, we've laughed, cried, and sung karaoke together. I'm more than proud that I got to know this person, your latest Hall of Fame member. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. This was something she loved to do, and she did it all while filling her head with knowledge outside the ring, she worked like no other to find the time to not only entertain, but to think beyond that. All that time that mind was getting full, she had the Bombshell World Championship not once, but twice. She had the Mixed Tag Team Championships, she is a four time Roulette champion, four times people, nothing but respect for that.

The crowd cheer loudly.

Ben: Blast from the Past runner up with yours truly here. A huge memorable rivalry with Andrea Hernandez that I will never forget. It was pure magic. She has been in the hearts and minds of every SCW fan since the day she walked through the door. I'm proud to be standing here saying this, I'm proud to be inducting her in to the SCW Hall of Fame class of 2021, and I'm proud to be her friend. She is the wonderful, the amazing, SCW's sweetheart..... SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM MARLOWE!

Sam moves towards Ben and the podium. She is dressed in a silver minidress with a pair of red heels and what looks like a sling over her shoulder where her right arm can be seen resting. She gives Ben and half hug and then watches him move back before she steps up to the podium and smiles and waves to the fans.

Sam Marlowe: I have to tell you, when they came to me asking me who to ask if they would induct me into the Sin City Wrestling Hall of Fame, there was only one real choice and that just happened to be one best friend I had made here in SCW, Ben Jordan. And in all honesty, I wasn't really expecting to have this happen for a few years.

Sam looks downward for a moment as if overcome with emotion. She looks back out over the fans who are starting to scream her name.

Sam Marlowe: You could have knocked me over with a feather when I got the call that I was joining the Hall of Fame in the class of 2021. And I am in good company this year.

Sam Marlowe: Now there are so many people to thank. I first want to thank Mark Ward and Christian Underwood for giving a redhead from Texas a chance in this crazy world of wrestling. I have to thank too, my trainer Vixen Staggs, the one that gave me the skills to do the things I have done in the ring. I also want to thank Ben Jordan, my first real friend here in SCW. Also, big thanks go out to Jamie Dean, Amy Marshall Santino and Colton Myers.

Sam motions to the individuals and the fans as each name is mentioned. She stands back, her left hand going to the sling to rub it slowly.

Sam Marlowe: Most people would say that achieving the Hall of Fame is to be putting yourself into retirement...being set on the shelf with nothing left to do. And let me address that right there and this...right here.

She gently taps the sling.

Sam Marlowe: I realize I haven't been around lately and I want to explain it to you. I have been known as a high flying bombshell and my body was battered and bruised and I needed work done. So I took the time for me and had the surgery I needed to do and that is why you see me here in this sling. And before you worry...it is going to be fine. Although I am sure that there are some people backstage who are ready to put me out to pasture, there is something I want to say to them and to my fans. Being put in the Hall of Fame is not having your number retired or getting the gold watch when you retire. Being put in the Hall of Fame is to recognize your successes.

Sam starts to smile as she slowly leans towards the microphone.

Sam Marlowe: I have just been inducted into the Hall of Fame but that doesn't mean I am done yet...I will be back and sooner than you think.

Sam pulls the sling off her arm and uses the arm to swing it around before tossing it to the side and then points the hand at the camera to wave it in a bring it on taunt before blowing a kiss at the camera then waving to the fans before walking away from the podium.

Hot Stuff again strolls back to the stage.

HS: Congrats Samantha, it's well deserved. Ladies and gents please welcome, FENRIS!

"If I Have A Heart" by Fever Ray plays across the sound system of 'the Garden' and the cheers ignite the moment that 'the White Wolf' steps out onto the stage. Clad quite differently than expected or accustomed to, Fenris is wearing a white suit and tie, matching slacks - and white flip flops. Yes indeed, no socks or dress shoes with his dress suit - flip flops! Fenris walks across the stage, seemingly uncomfortable, but as he nears the podium, he turns to the crowd and he begins the famed 'Viking Clap,' and the majority in attendance - even "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward himself - joins in the fun! After a moment, Fenris then turns back to the podium where Mark offers up his hand and Fenris readily accepts, when "Hot Stuff" glances down at his rather interesting choice of footwear.

Fenris: What?

Mark smiles and holds his hands up in an innocent surrender, shaking his head that nothing was wrong or amiss. "Hot Stuff" takes a step back to his spot as Fenris takes his own place at the podium, looking out at the crowd as the picture of Kris Ryans appears on the Tron behind him.

Fenris: I won't make no secret over the fact I did not want to do this. I am sure I am not alone in that regard. When Kris selected me to induct him into the Hall of Fame, you'd think everyone in charge had gone into panic mode. Kris knows me. They know me. I say what is on my mind. I do not hold anything back. Some might even think me foul tempered or blunt. They automatically thought that I would do or say something on this live broadcast that would immediately cause the phone lines to blow up or force Mark Ward here and Christian into emergency damage control. Well - I just want them to relax. If they're worried about me slipping up and saying 'fuck,' then never fear!

He casts a sidelong glance with a smarmy smile that draws some laughter from the crowd. Knowing exactly what he did. Behind him, Mark face palms as Fenris turns to address him.

Fenris: I won't say it. Promise!

His face still hidden with one hand, Hot Stuff uses his free hand to give Fenris a thumbs up as he turns back around.

Fenris: Like I said, this was not something that I was looking forward to doing. I have never been someone who went out of my way to grant interviews and if anything, I've been called antisocial by those that know me best.

Fenris shrugs.

Fenris: I do not deny it. And when Kris contacted me, I told him the truth; I would rather not. I am not good with words. I suggested he have Mikah do it. Or Jason Halc. Anyone but me. And do you know what he said to me? 'I want you to do it.'

Fenris looks around and shakes his head.

Fenris: What do you say to that? Kris was always the type of person that was difficult to say no to. But out of everyone he could have, or should have, asked? He wanted me to do it. So here I am.

He shakes his head.

Fenris: I could go on and speak volumes about everything this man has accomplished in the business. Two-time World Heavyweight Champion. Two-time Roulette Champion. World Tag Team Champion. World MIXED Tag Team Champion. Internet Champion...

He holds up a hand, forefinger extended.

Fenris: Grand Slam Champion. And now - Hall of Fame.

Fenris pauses as applause breaks out across Madison Square Garden. He draws in a breath and looks out across the famed arena.

Fenris: And - a damned good friend. As I said, anyone can talk about his accomplishments in the ring, but not enough speak of what he's accomplished outside of the ring. So I will. I will be the first to admit I am not an easy person to get along with. It's probably easier to hate me than it is to like me, which is why I have very few close friends. Kris Ryans is one of the few that not only can I call friend, but he can say the same of me. Now of course there are the people to make the 'with benefits" cracks, and so what!? There are those who will always ask if there was more between us than either let on.

He shakes his head.

Fenris: I am not here to answer that. I am here to tell everyone that when I was at my lowest point in life, Kris was there. He was the one who not only pulled me up from the brink of despair, but he also worked hard to get as much of the heat focused on him rather than me so I could recover. In a world where people are only out for themselves, where they think only of themselves - Kris Ryans is not one of those people. He tries to give the illusion of being brash and self centered. There have been times when he wanted people to think he thought only of himself and was self absorbed.

Again, he shakes his head.

Fenris: That is not the Kris Ryans that I know. That is not the real Kris Ryans. Kris Ryans is caring. Kris Ryans is selfless. And Kris Ryans is a man I am proud to call one of my closest friends. And the newest inductee into the 2021 Sin City Wrestling Hall of Fame is - Kris Ryans!

The lights shut off and the screen at the top of the ramp dies out leaving the entire arena pitch black. Neither Hot Stuff or Fenris are visible, but the ovation from the crowd is so raucous it shakes the cameras. The music starts to blast through the PA system, and the fans scream the opening lyrics to Kris' theme in the most booming fashion.

"THERE IS NO ONE LIKE ME!"

Two spotlights shine down on the stage as Chiddy Bang's "Mind Your Manners" plays through the PA system. Standing in the middle of the stage where the lights intersect is Kristopher Ryans. The camera moves around behind Kris to catch applause he was getting from both men that joined him on the stage. He was dressed to compete for his match later in the night, but in entirely different gear than fans had ever seen him in. His orange shorts had the letters "HoF" down the side instead of his name. Instead of having "The Miracle" across the back of the matching colored jacket there was just a number: 2 6 5 4. Kris gestures for his music to be cut as the lights start to rise throughout the arena. The cheers from the crowd continue for a few moments after the music cuts, and Kris takes an exaggerated bow at center stage which reanimates the ovation. With a smile on his face, Kris turns to Fenris with the fans still on their feet, and extends a hand. Fenris takes it, but Kris immediately pulls him closer and hugs him before raising his friend's hand to the crowd. The two exchange a few words not picked up by any microphone before Kris allows him to flee the stage that he never really wanted to be on. Kris turns his attention to Mark who congratulates him and shakes his hand before turning Kris towards the podium. The fans start to die down as Kris takes a second to compose himself.

Kris: I told Mark that I was going to say whatever the fuck I wanted in exchange for my services keeping Mikah out of his office...

He turns around with a smile, and Hot Stuff seems fine with that trade. The fans burst into laughter, probably caught off guard by Kris making one of the jokes that had gotten so deeply under his skin earlier in the week.

Kris: ...but we're not here to talk about her. She already got to do this once. Instead, we're here to talk about me. I am going to be honest, I didn't think that this was ever going to happen. I didn't think that anyone was ever going to think that I was good enough to get this honor. There have been so many times in this company that everyone wrote me off, said I wasn't ever going to make it, or said I was good, but not put together enough to ever be a star. There were so many people that thought this exact moment impossible, and I don't blame them. The strangeness of all of this is not lost on me. This is something that I have dreamed about since I was a kid, since before Sin City was a place that I called home, and it's still not something that ever felt tangible. This whole experience has been surreal, and I have been on a lot of big stages in my career. But It's weird right...? Kris Ryans is going into the Hall of Fame...

Clearly Kris was doing his best to keep it together. His eyes were glassy, but he was trying to use his self-deprecating sense of humor in order to diffuse his own emotions. The fans loved it though. They popped huge for him once again, and he actually had to turn back to Mark again to ask if it was all actually real. He takes a deep, albeit shaky breath and tries to push forward.

Kris: Two thousand six hundred fifty four days have passed since I first stepped into Sin City's six-sided ring, and on that night... I lost. I didn't give up though. At this point, I have spent the majority of my adult life walking down these aisles, and doing the one thing in life that I have always loved doing. To listen to anyone in my close circle tell it, I was either going to be competing in that ring, or dead by now. From the moment I first laid eyes on the things that people can do, and the magic that can happen down there in the ring, I haven't wanted to do anything but get to right here where I am standing. Not only did I want to be good enough to be on the show, I wanted to be the best that ever did it.

He pauses, and takes a second to scan through some of the faces in the crowd while he composes himself.

Kris: No matter what I have ever done wrong here, or how many setbacks I have suffered, you guys have always made me feel like I belonged. You made me feel like I was the right guy for this job. You all made it feel possible to get to this spot. Everyone that has ever bought a ticket to a show I appeared on helped get me to this stage. Even when all the people in the back kept telling me it wasn't possible, I would just step out here and feel that it was.

The crowd cheers again, giving Kris an excuse to pause. He seemed to be more in control of himself the longer he went.

Kris: I could come out and brag about the people that I stepped over to get here. I could remind everyone of all the championship matches and awards I won along the way. None of that is what makes this matter most to me though. They were just perks along the way. This right here was my dream, and you guys, along with the people running the show, made that possible. I couldn't have gotten here without you. I would still be a Nobody if you people didn't decide to start paying attention to me. Whether you love me or hate me, I just want to thank you for having an opinion of me at all. Those opinions, that chatter, the people I riled up along the way made all of this possible. You are the ones that allowed me to live my dream.

Kris takes a step back from the podium and looks down for a moment.

Kris: There are so many people I could thank individually, and plenty that deserve it but there's no way that I could do it without forgetting someone and feelings would get hurt. You all know who you are though. All of you. If you're asking if I mean you, then yes. I wouldn't still be walking the earth without your support and I wouldn't be standing here without all the help I got along the way. I'll never be able to give back everything you've all given me, but later tonight I'm headed right back down to that ring to try.

The fans explode at the mere mention of the Battle of the Greats. Kris steps back from the podium and Hot Stuff steps forward to raise Kris' hand up to the crowd as his music once again blasts through the PA system.

HS: Ladies and gents, Kris Ryans is just not SCW, Kris Ryans is Hall of Fame! Now, we've reached our last inductees. Please welcome to the stage...!

The lights go down on the empty stage. The crowd looks around in anticipation. A few moments later, the lights pop back on to see three men in white hooded jackets. One, in the middle, is the tallest, and most well built. On his right is a slightly more lanky man in tattered jeans, and a beard poking out from under the hood. The one on the left is looking down at the ground, but is halfway between the two in build. The crowd keeps watching until the three men turn around to reveal the red lettering on the backs of their jackets "#BadBoys", and the crowd goes wild as they turn around, getting the crowd pumped up, and throwing back their hoods. SCU Acting GM, Gianni Di Luca pumps his fist Jersey style, while Dax Beckett rushes back and forth across the stage. But one of the biggest delights is seeing former Honor World Champion, Mickey Carroll, back on Sin City screens. He slaps hands with the fans and stars as they welcome him.

As long as the fanfare lasts, the three men quickly get to work as they approach the microphone. Gianni takes the mic first.

Gianni: Stables are one of SCW's big attractions. Since the days of The Seven Deadly Sins, to Hot Stuff International, to the Black Sheep, stables have innovated many top talents over the years.

Dax: They have taken Nobodies, and turned them into somebodies. They've delighted the fans, and they've scared the ever loving shit outta them. From The Fallen to The Monstimals. From Dreamz Chaserz to The Elders.

Mickey gets the mic next, but the crowd cheers, causing him to choke back his words for a second before chuckling.

Mickey: Oi, you'd think ye's seen a bloody ghost er sumpin, yeah? Stables have taken us to New Xtremes, pushing out some of the best talents in the world of wrestling today. Humble beginnings to World Champions, dreams have come true through the efforts of a collective. And there is no stronger example than this year's inductees into Sin City Wrestling's Hall of Fame as your 2021 Stable entry...

Altogether: THE MEAN GIRLS!!!

"Amazing" by Hi Fashion plays over the speakers as a crew installs a makeshift runway toward the crowd. As the crowd gets on their feet, the stage begins to pulsate with lights. The music goes into full effect as we see Veronica Taylor hit the stage. She is wearing a "Burn Book" print overcoat as she stomps the runway as only she can. Once to the edge of the catwalk, she sheds the jacket, spinning out of it to show off a perfect purple dress with matching pumps. She looks over her shoulder as she stomps forward. She plants a kiss on her husband's cheek on her way past Mz Holly Wood, who smiles, holding a pie in her hand, and wearing the same overcoat. She quickly scurries to the edge of the stage, and she drops the coat to show off a 50's housewife outfit. She contorts her face in horror before dunking her face in the pie. She licks the lips clean, and removes holes for the eyes before turning and scurrying off, mocking Veronica by planting a big smooch on Dax's lips, leaving pie remnants in his beard.

We shift to Mean Girls' legendary manager, Angelica, and former "servant", Contessa Flanigan, as they walk side by side in the Burn Book overcoats. They make it to edge of the stage and they shed their coats to show off slinky dresses, printed with kiss marks. They kiss their palms and blow pink and red smoke kisses before high fiving and turning to walk back. This is when Liz Smalls comes out to a pop. She giggles before putting on her game face and walking the catwalk, showing legs for days under her overcoat. She gives a spin out of the jacket, in a tule heavy prom style dress and corsage. She puts her hand on her perfectly cinched waist as a banner drops that reads "#srrynotsrry". She shrugs as she prances back toward the curtains.

This begs the question of who is next, and who will round out the night? We needn't wonder further as Mercedes Vargas AND Delia Darling come onto the stage. Rainbow colored lights flash across the stage as the two nod at one another and literally assassinate the runway with their vicious, viper-like striking heels, each step of the way to the edge of the runway. They shimmy out of their overcoats to reveal their infamous shared political statement outfits from the sheikh's palace in 2015. This gains them big points with the crowd, especially the LGBT crowd. They relish in it for a moment before holding hands and turning to walk up the catwalk to go behind the curtains. After seconds, the curtain draws to see the entire Mean Girls collective standing on stage. Mercedes holds a finger up and goes over to Mickey. She gives him a kiss on the cheek as he stomps his foot like Thumper, before Mercedes "dismisses" them.

Angelica and Tessa approach the podium next. They look at one another and then back out into the crowd. Angelica leans in first, letting her emerald eyes shine in the light, dazzling everyone.

Angelica: We're amazing. Honestly. I mean, who else could do what we did? Hm? Who else has done what we did? Go ahead, I'll give you a minute to think.

Tessa: What she means is that Mean Girls 'ave done it all. Three separate inductions into the Hall of Fame, Every single SCW title 'as been 'eld by these girls more than once. SCU titles, Honor titles, GRIME titles.

Angelica: Bitch! We've done it all. Sorry 'bout it. From the very beginning, me and Veronica came out, week in, week out, to provide you with pro wrestling excellence. We were the standard, and we still are to this day. And then Delia Darling came along, and we were part of Hot Stuff International. But even we were too much for the fricken owner of the fricken company...

Tessa: So we split off, and proved that we don't need no man! We set an example fer the rest uh-yas. We hid in no man's shadow, and we showed what girl power truly was. We became THE dominant force, and ratings proved that the fans tuned in to see the Mean Girls. Yer welcome, mates.

Angelica: So have some goddamn respect, and put your hands together for these ladies. And also, if you're paying attention, Mark. Call me...

Angelica winks at the camera as she claps her hands for the Mean Girls. She and Tessa move back to the group.

Mz Holly Wood, in her cream pie facial, approaches the podium and looks around.

Holly: Can I get a "Amen"?

Crowd: Amen!

Holly: Can I get a "Yes Gawd"?

Crowd: Yes Gawd!

Holly: Can I get a... *Pause* Good gawd girl, getta grip. It's only an induction into the SCW Hall of FAME!!! No, y'all... I'm seriously geekin' here. I never once thought I would be on this stage. I'm just glad I get to share it with some of these girls up here.

Holly looks back behind her at the rest of the Mean Girls. She smiles sweetly and then instantly looks at her chest, practically juggling them.

Holly: And I do mean Lefty and Righty, cause fuck these other bitches behind me.

Everyone laughs as Holly shrugs one shoulder and smiles behind her.

Crowd Member: WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!

Holly looks out to see Helluva Bottom Carter wearing one of Holly's shirts, and Holly points to him.

Holly: That's it. I demand that ring finger, baby boy. I'mma ring it right damn now...

Holly winks and smiles.

Holly: No, seriously. I have been a Mean Girl for a really, really, really, really, really long time. I was with them from the start. Ronnie and Angie was my girls, and that only got stronger, and that bond came to include Delia, Mercy, Liz, and Tessa as time went on. I owe a lot of my success in SCU to the things I learned from these bad bitches behind me. So put the hate aside, and give them a round of applause. They kinda deserve it. K thanks, byeeeeeeeeee...

Holly claps for the rest of the Mean Girls as she returns to the stage, hugging onto Liz Smalls, then Angelica, then Veronica.

As Delia Darling is about to approach the podium, the lights drop down again, and "Sex Metal Barbie" by In This Moment begins to play over the speakers. The crowd roars as the spotlight comes onto Celeste North, wearing a black and red version of the Burn Book overcoat. She is lowered down from the ceiling onto the catwalk, and she lowers, crawling like a panther to the edge. She contorts in a sort of wicked way as she sheds the coat to reveal a catsuit of the same print. She crab walks back toward the podium before kipping up to her feet. She and Delia share a staredown for a moment before Celeste approaches the podium.

Celeste: I am part of this, too. Like it or not. My first real success in this company came from being part of the Mean Girls. Before that, I was just some witchy chick living in the shadow of her famous rockstar mother. And then I found The Plastics. I won a championship, and I practically handed it over to Veronica Taylor, just so I could rub it in Delia's face that I took her place. It was a fun time, but it ended too abruptly. But I'll be damned if I don't get to stake a claim in all of this. I put up with all of you, and I deserve some recognition for it. Especially now that I've gone on to have one of the more successful careers of the ladies up here. So, with that said, I humbly accept this honor, and take this opportunity to tell these ladies behind me to suck it. Especially Holly, but for her, I mean it only in the best of ways. So suck on that....

Celeste throws up rock horns as she walks backward, and stands next to Holly, holding onto her hand as she breathes deeply. Delia blinks a few times and then approaches the podium.

Delia: Someone didn't get the memo z'at, on Sundays, we wear pink... Anyway, what do I say to z'is kind of honor, hm? Second time, it is as if I have said it all before., no? Z'en I stop to s'ink. Did I forget to mention s'anks to someone? Did I not appreciate someone enough wi's my words?

Delia thinks on it for a second. She takes a deep breath and then looks out into the crowd.

Delia: I could not have done z'is wis'out my help. All of z'e words of encouragement z'at I spoke into z'e mirror. All of z'e positive reinforcement I gave myself when z'e haters would blast me all over z'e internet. Each time I wanted to stop training, and I told myself "No, Delia! Vous must keep going!" And all of z'e times some jealous janis inside of z'e ring tried to get one over on me, and I found a way to reach deep and say "Not today, Satan!" And my strong Christian values z'at told me I am above everys'ing in z'is world, for I am a God given miracle. I wish to take a moment of silence for z'e appreciation of Delia Darling, and all she has done for moi...

Delia steps back and takes Mercedes' hand, and then takes Celeste's. Celeste yanks her hand away as Mercedes just rolls her eyes and sighs. Delia bows her head, and nearly forces us to take a solid minute to appreciate her. Once the moment is over, she steps back to the podium.

Delia: Two time induction. Two times! Can vous believe it? No, because only one os'er person in z'is crowd knows what it is like to receive such an honor. Z'e only person who has taken what I have taught her and applied it in a way z'at has made her a Grand Slam Champion, and z'e only one wors'y of beating me into z'e Hall of Fame. And z'at woman is my sister, Mercedes Vargas. Mercedes, darling, would you do me z'e honors of following my speech?

Delia waves Mercedes over, who tries to play humble with a "who, me?" look on her face and hand on her chest. She then waves it off and approaches, taking the microphone from Delia.

The fans in attendance at Madison Square Garden raucously cheer Mercedes as she makes her way to the podium relishing every moment of the spotlight. An unintelligible chant starts up which gets a little louder. Mercedes cups her hands around her ears so she can better hear in the noisy arena.

Crowd: YOU DESERVE IT! *clap clap clap clap clap* YOU DESERVE IT! *clap clap clap clap clap* YOU DESERVE IT! *clap clap clap clap clap*

Mercedes stands back in aplomb pointing a finger at herself in mock surprise. This lasts a moment before she finally accepts the support directed at her. With a grin and a shrug, The Grand Slam Champion takes to the microphone.

Mercedes: What's up, New York City!!!

The fans cheer.

Mercedes: Thank you, thank you. I love you, too. Thank you. You have to excuse me. After hearing the great introduction from the guys and the speeches just now from Angie, Tessa, Celeste, Liz, and Deelz, I still don't know why I'm even up here.

Mercedes pauses, briefly looks behind her at the French Bombshell, the rest of the Mean Girls, and Dax, Mickey, and Gianni.

Mercedes: I mean, how can you possibly top THAT? I feel like I've been set up!

The arena quickly fills with laughter as Mercedes feints being hurt before joining in on the laughter.

Mercedes: Two things are true when you know you've made it in Sin City Wrestling: When you win your first championship and when you get inducted into the Hall of Fame. There are only so many people that can headline a class and in previous years that has certainly been the case with the legends you all know by name. The SCW Hall of Fame achieved a level of legitimacy by inducting me three years ago. Now? SCW's been so nice, I've been inducted twice!

Mercedes holds up two fingers to emphasize this.

Mercedes: Do I deserve it? You're damn right I do. I am the ceiling for inductees and the first Mean Girl to be in the Hall. At this same time three years ago, I stood across this stage having proven all the haters wrong. Well, guess who's back, back again? Mercy's back, tell a friend. Now as a two-time Hall of Fame inductee, I have something more I can hold over the heads of every woman in the division. As if being the most decorated champion in the company wasn't enough, right? And, yes, Goth and I are definitely walking out new World Mixed Tag Team Champions tonight.

Mercedes adds a rueful smile to her vow.

Mercedes: Tonight, though, isn't all about me. I don't want to be that selfish. Tonight belongs to someone whose induction is long overdue. You know her as the First Class Bombshell. She is the one, the only...Veronica Taylor. Vero, come on down!!!

Next up to the podium representing the Mean Girls Veronica Taylor, who was dressed to the nines wearing a purple dress, purple high heel pumps, and a Chanel handbag. The haughty Mean Girl looks out around the audience but she can't help but smile for once. As she soon looks around and begins to speak in a smug tone very proud of her own accomplishments.

Veronica: You know who would have thought it all those years ago nearly a decade I decided after being a famous model you know I would try wrestling, I was advised against it by many people oh no what about your gorgeous looks? Well I still got those in check despite the harm others have wished to do to me, or you make so much money what if you fail? Hone Veronica Taylor never fails and guess what I haven't at first it might have looked like that oh yes despite being the founding mother of the Mean Girls, the original one often imitated and never duplicated. They tried to write me off after my first stint but you know I just took that in stride.

Veronica said smiling proudly, really loving this opportunity to do what she does best, talk about Veronica Taylor. The supermodel smirks at the people in attendance before going on in the same tone.

Veronica: But then I came back and I knew things had to change. Not only were my fellow Mean Girls at my back including Angelica who always had my back since day one. But we discovered SCW had become even more ratchet than ever before we had to show those basics a better way. So we started first my girl Delia showed them by being undefeated, then Liz joined us and brought even more attention to all of us than anyone could imagine. We had our differences, sure, but Liz you are an impact player girl. And I was proud when we won those tag team titles like it was truly an amazing night.

Veronica smiled at Liz, before turning her attention back to the audience, as she kept going on.

Veronica: Then of course we had our issues. The Mean Girls broke up, but that didn't stop me for long because soon I won my first SCW Roulette Title, along with another one when we reunited. The Mean Girls are SCW's premier group. No group has dominated women wrestling in this company like we have, and quite frankly ladies it will be hard to match our success but it will be cute to see you try. Now I do want to thank Christan Underwood and Mark Ward despite our differences you did give me a shot when no one else would and quite frankly you two showed keen business sense in that, I also want to thank my fellow Mean Girls for standing with me, you ladies are just so amazing. I also want to thank all of the basics who stood in our way because you made me look better, and made it fun. I also want to thank my wonderful supportive hunk of a husband Gianni DiLuca love you baby.

Veronica blows a kiss toward her husband who was sitting in the audience. As Veronica, soon said.

Veronica: So The Mean Girls are now hall of famers and we're so sorry bout it!

"Amazing" blast through the speakers one more time and Hot Stuff steps forward.

HS: Ladies and gentlemen, your class of 2021, Jack Sullivan, Samantha Marlowe, Kris Ryans and The Mean Girls!

Hot Stuff gives a nod to the group on the stage and they wave to the crowd.




The first shot onscreen is the capacity-filled crowd at Madison Square Garden! The SCW Universe is on its feet, chanting and cheering as they are showcased onscreen from one and of the world famous arena to the other!

Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!

Pyros immediately go off at the stage, and flashing strobe lights of an array of colors turn on and swirl about every corner of the Garden! Many a sign from many a fan is held up for the cameras, as fans both young and old try to press themselves into view of the camera as they cheer and wave! Then the camera heads to the ring itself, smack dab in the center of the Garden's main floor! And standing inside of the six-sided ring is none other than Justin Decent, wearing a tuxedo vest with no shirt, a golden bow tie, black latex pants and dress shoes! There is a bright smile on the handsome exhibitionist's face as he looks all over to every corner of the Garden before he lifts the microphone to his lips.

Justin: Hello NEW YORK CITY!!!

The crowd comes alive even MORE - if that were at all possible!

Justin: Welcome to history being made as for the first time EVER - Sin City Wrestling comes to Madison! Square! GARDEN!!!

CHEERS!!!

Justin: And above all else, welcome one and all - to the Grand Prix of professional wrestling! Welcome to HIGH STAKES XI!!!!!

Cheers!!!

Justin: Now please welcome, if you will to the stage - the Hostess With the Mostess for Sin City Wrestling! Ms. Amanda HUGGINKISS!

The fans cheer and applaud as only New Yorkers could, as Amanda walks out onstage in a full length, black and white shimmering gown and a blonde, Peg Bundy-style wig! As the spotlight on stage widens, on three mini-stages are her backup singers for this very special event - the Kissettes!

Amanda: I don't wanna be the one to tell you so
But there's a little somethin' that you oughta know
We need to have a sister talk about your new man
'Cause, honey, I don't think you understand
I hate to rain on your parade, but just last night, I caught him in your shoes
(The open-toe, gold-sequin stilettos, mmm)

He's pumped up, tan, super clean, and never smelly
He listens to a lot of Liza Minnelli
Spends a little too much time in bathroom stalls (What is he doing?)
Is it me or does his breath smell like balls?

I hate to pop your bubble, but he watches Golden Girls every day (He knows every word)

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
And I'm not talkin' just a little fay
You need to tell him to sashay away
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

You're looking at me like, "What is she talking about?"
Let me lay it out so there can be no doubt
Broadway dancer, caftans, and can snap a fan
He ignored you when you had that threeway with another man (Remember?)

I hate to spill the beans, but dudes don't call each other Mary or girlfriend (Girlfriend)

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
I'll tell you why I think he swings that way
He drinks skinny vanilla soy lattes
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

It's your party, you can lie if you want to
You say he's the one, but I hear do run run
I know it's hard to find a man who'd ever be fabber
But he's a card carryin' brown pucker poo stabber
You're going to the chapel, thought someday you'd get married
First date was like a dream and then it only got scary'ed
But let's stay on track, he's the leader of the fudge pack

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
You're the last one to know, okay?
He's like literally a walking cliche
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay (He's so gay)
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay (He's so gay)
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay (Gay, gay, gay)
Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

Hey, hey, your boyfriend's gay

The performance draws to a close and there is a standing ovation as Amanda blows kisses to New York City! The camera then heads to ringside and the broadcasters booth where sits Belinda Simone and Jason Adams!

Simone: Welcome to High Stakes XI and we have a massive show ahead of you.......

"I WANT IT ALL"

Adams: Wait, is that?!

"I WANT IT ALL"

Simone: It can't be, he's been retired for years!

"I WANT IT ALL, AND I WANT IT NOW!"

The opening guitar solo to "I Want It All" by Queen hits the speakers and the crowd initially acts confused when they hear the unfamiliar music, then he appears at the top of the ramp.

Simone: IT'S "PRIME TIME" MATTHEW KENNEDY!

Adams: HE'S ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ROULETTE CHAMPIONS, BUT I THOUGHT HE RETIRED DUE TO INJURY?!

The British Wrestler stands there at the top of the ramp as his theme music plays through Madison Square Garden's speakers soaking in the reaction before he smirks and makes his way down the ramp, he rolls into the ring and asks for a mic from a stage hand who readily gives it to him.

Matthew: Madison Square Garden, New York City, SCW, welcome to High Stakes XI!

The crowd comes unglued at Matthew's statement.

Matthew: It has been a long time since I was last un an SCW ring, I gad to retire from active competition due to injury but when I heard that SCW was hosting a show here in New York from the World Famous Madison Square Garden, I knew I had to be a part of it, and what a show you have in store for you.

Matthew adds as he paces up and down the ring.

Matthew: In our opening contest, Bill Barnhart will defend the SCW Roulette Championship against Agostino Romano, I only held that title once but as one of it's original holders, that title holds a deer place in my heart and I wish both men the best of luck.

Matthew adds before pausing.

Matthew: SCU wasn't a thing when I joined SCW and u haven't paid that much attention to it, but all the SCU reps are competing on the grandest stage of them all tonight and to Andrey Azaroth, Joshua Acquin, The Three Way, Angel of Filth, Skag, Cordelia Clark, Helena Jeckel, Merlot Ayano, Jennifer Lecroix and the six competitors in the Warriors Brawl, I wish you all the best of luck.

Matthew says before he checks his notes.

Matthew: Two Fatal Four Way Matches, both vying four the same prize! A shot at the World Titles! For the Bombshell Division we have Bella Madison, Seleana Zdunich, Bea Barnhart and Violet Amelia Holt and for the men's we have Mac Bane, Miles Kasey, Senor Vinnie and Brayden Hilton, both Christmas Qualifiers are full of young and exciting talent and both of those matches could go either way, we could even see Bea Barnhart challenge Amber Ryan!

Simone: He actually said that with a straight face, I'm impressed!

Adams: I know I couldn't say that with a straight face.

Matthew: In our first Internet Championship Match of the evening, Caleb Storms defends against Brother David Shepherd! Can Caleb retain in him home state or will Brother David Shepherd win the Internet Title for the first time? It should be an exciting match regardless of the outcome! Then we have Jessie Salco vs. Myra Rivers in the Chamber of Extreme.

Matthew shakes his head.

Matthew: I off course, was there when Jessica made her SCW debut and I always knew that she was destined for greatness, but Myra? She's something special and this should be a hell of a match!

Simone: He called Jessie "Jessica", that will get her under her skin.

Adams: Jessie has always hated her full first name.

Matthew: The Mixed Tag Team Titles will be on the line as Austin James Mercer and Tempest defend against Goth and Mercedes Vargas, Goth and Mercedes should prove to e the toughest challenge that Austin and Tempest have faced to date, but can they pull it together? After all, not even J2H could stop them, who can?

Matthew asks before checking the notes.

Matthew: Two special challenge matches as Melody Grace takes on Kate Steele and Danielle Weston takes on Mikah! Is this Melody's last ever match? If so, can she end her career with a win? Only time will tell because Kate is no pushover, and I'll ask the same of Daniele and Mikah, but we will find out the answer to those questions soon.

Matthew chuckles as he sees the next match.

Matthew: Who would be foolish enough to hold a grudge against a man like Fenris? I understand that he's defending his wife's honour but Markus Cage needs to understand that there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, especially as you came out of retirement for this match! Then we come to the Bombshell Internet Championship Match, Keira Fisher-Johnson vs. the defending champion Andrea Hernandez vs. Alicia Lukas.

Simone: That is a big match!

Adams: And Andrea's first defence.

Matthew: Will Andrea fail in her first defence? Will Keira dethrone her? Will Alicia Lukas add the Internet Title to her accomplishments? Or will Andrea repeat her predecessor's success and retain? And now onto the match that I personally am very interested in because the next match contains a woman who I believe is the future of the Bombshell Division, the Bombshell Roulette Champion herself Krystal Wolfe!

Simone: Wow, now that's a glowing endorsement!

Adams: Not really a controversial opinion either as Krystal was nominated for Future Star of the Year for a reason!

Matthew: She is defending he title in a rare grudge title match against Char Kwan! Their rivalry has been fierce, but can Krystal retain and get revenge for Azurine Vebbins and Ariana Angelos? If you ask me, yes, yes she can!

Simone: Not really impartial there!

Adams: In his defence, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't want to Krystal to retain her title tonight.

Matthew: This next match needs no introduction, J2H vs. Kris Ryans in a Battle of the Greats, who will come out on top? Who can say? But the true winners will be the fans once the dust settles, I would say "good luck to the match following that" but those matches as the main events, first for the World Heavyweight Championship it's Alex Jones defending against vs. Jack Washington and then in a Triple Threat it's Amber Ryan vs. Christina Rose vs. Roxi Johnson, will the champions retain? Or will any of their challengers become the new champions? Time will tell.

Matthew smirks as he leans on the ropes.

Matthew: I bet you thought that would be the end of it? That I'd wish everyone luck and head to the back, what if I told you that as of this morning, I've signed a new contract with SCW?

Simone: WHAT?!

Adams: MATTHEW KENNEDY IS COMING BACK?!

The crowd goes unglued as they hear that, and Matthew lets the noise die down.

Matthew: As a manager.

The crowd's excitement soon turns to disappointment as Matthew continues.

Matthew: As I said, I retired due to injuries sustained over my career but I now have a manager's license and a new managerial company, Prime Time Associates and I already have a person in mind for my first client, a certain blue haired Australian Bombshell who has taken the Bombshell Roulette Division by storm.

Simone: Err, did he ask Krystal about this first?

Adams: I don't know, but what a boon to her carer this would be.

Matthew: Watch this space, that girl will be the future of the Bombshell Division under my guidance.

"I Want It All" Starts up again and Matthew heads to the back.




We see Bill Barnhart walking down the hallway to get to the staging area to be ready for his match to open High Stakes XI. The roving camera person runs up and focuses their camera on Bill so he can comment while walking down the hallway.

Bill: As I mentioned leading up to High Stakes XI just because my Roulette Championship defense match against Agostino Romano is the opening match doesn't mean our match isn't going to be a good one. What our match to open this event does is set the tone for the remainder of the matches. Considering that I'll defeat Agostino so quickly that you might miss the win if you blink your eyes you know that sends a message to the rest of the wrestlers performing on the card that they need to step up their game and present great matches or they will get booed by the fans.

Bill continues walking and he arrives at the staging area.

Bill: As you saw during my comments leading up to this event I consider myself the very model of a modern Roulette Champion. After I get done destroying Agostino Romano in our match he'll regret that he won his match to get into this match with me in the first place.

Bill turns from the camera and walks over to entrance area to be in position to make his way to the ring for his match. The camera person cuts their camera feed at this time.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes XI where we see the champion and challenger in tonight's opening contest, the Roulette Champion Bill Barnhart and Agostino Romano as they are waiting to see their fate.

Simone: It's time for Bill's first Roulette Title defence but it won't be easy.

Adams: Agostino is already a former two time Internet Champion, tonight he looks to add the Roulette Championship to that list!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?

Both men nod and Rocky spins the wheel, it keeps going for a while but eventually slowing down and at first (and much to Jason's horror) it looks like it's going to start on Lingerie Match but at the last second it nudges over to an annual SCW tradition.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight's Roulette Title Match will be a Black Friday Brawl! The match will take place in the Manhattan Mall right here in, well, Manhattan!

Adams: Oh, thank god!

Simone: I'm sure Bill's thinking the same thing but for different reasons, but the Black Friday Brawl has become a tradition in recent years.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck gentlemen!

Both men nod as Jacob runs up with his car keys in hand ready to drive them to the mall, they follow the ref to his car as the scene fades.




Simone: Welcome to High Stakes XI and tonight's opening contest! Bill shocked the world when he won the Roulette Title in a match that featured Miles Kasey and Lincoln Daniels but tonight comes his first test as champion as he defends against Agostino Romano!

Adams: Agostino earned this shot by defeating Levi Russow and Miles Kasey in a Graveyard Elimination Match at the Halloween Show; however this match will be contested under our annual Black Friday Brawl rules and this year, we're going to the Manhattan Mall to continue that tradition!

Simone: Let's take it to Justin who is on location!

Justin: The following contest is the opening match of HIGH STAKES XI! And it is for the SCW Roulette Championship! Thanks to a spin of the wheel, we know that it'll be a Black Friday Brawl!

The crowd cheers as Agostino steps forward.

Justin: Introducing first.......

Justin never even finishes his introduction of Agostino as Bill attacks him from behind with a giant lollipop that he apparently borrowed from Santa's Grotto prompting Jacob to call for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Simone: Bill isn't even waiting for Justin's introductions to finish! He didn't even announce where Agostino is from or his weight!

Adams: To be fair, there's only so many times we can hear that he's from Milan, Italy and weighs in at 215lbs.

In a normal match Jacob would admonish Bill for jumping Agostino from behind and especially with a weapon but as Black Friday Brawls are no disqualification Jacob can only watch on as Bill measures up Agostino for another shot with the oversized lollipop but Agostino ducks the shot and spears Bill to the ground knocking the lollipop from his hands in the process! Agostino doesn't go for the cover but instead mounts Bill and starts laying in punches.

Adams: What was the giant lollipop doing in Santa's Grotto in the first place?! That's not exactly festive!

Simone: I'll take "sentences that I never thought I'd hear as an SCW Commentator even after nearly a decade on the job" for 400, oh look, the daily double!

Agostino rolls off Bill and then starts looking for a weapon to use on his older opponent, that opportunity soon presents itself as he grabs a giant candy cane and swings for the fences at Bill who quickly ducks out of the way before grabbing the lollipop he used to open the match and the two men start an improvised "sword" fight between the champion and challenger whilst Jacob watches on with an amused look on his face.

Simone: And in yet another first for the English language, Bill and Agostino are swinging for the fences with the lollipop and the candy cane!

Adams: And this is how we're opening the biggest show of the year!

After a few seconds Bill finds his candy can pinned down to the ground by Agostino and Agostino uses the opportunity to hit a running Superkick on Bill! He goes for the first pin of the night as Jacob gets into position.

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill kicks out! Agostino shakes his head before he starts looking around for something else to use in the match, seeing a life-size "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" toy in the Santa's Grotto he grabs it and starts measuring up Bill.

Adams: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, had a very shiny nose, and if he was ever used as a weapon, he would say "this blows".

Simone: You've been waiting your whole life to use that line, haven't you Jason?

Once Bill gets back to his feet Agostino charges trying to use the reindeer toy as a battering ram but Bill ducks out of the way and executes a drop toe hold causing him to land face first into Rudolph's rear end.

Adams: If Rudolph has a red nose, does that mean his rear end........

Simone: Jason, don't ruin one of my favourite Christmas songs!

Bill pulls Agostino away from the toy reindeer and goes for his first cover of the match.

ONE!

TWO!

And Agostino kicks out! Bill spots a hardware store on the second floor and runs to the escalator so he can get his hands on more traditional weapons, Jacob runs after him but they find themselves having to awkwardly wait for the escalator to reach the top not realizing that Agostino has spotted an elevator and is running towards it.

Simone: Bill has a head start on Agostino, but can the escalator beat the elevator?

Adams: And just so we're clear, no we're not suggesting that Bill and Agostino change their nicknames too "the escalator" and the "the elevator" respectively!

Bill eventually reaches the top of the escalator but as soon as he gets off Agostino nails him with a flying clothesline! Agostino then picks up Bill and takes him into the hardware store with Jacob in hot pursuit and once they are inside Agostino sends Bill into a display case before spotting a staple gun which he promptly grabs, Bill sets up but gets a staple to the head for his troubles before Agostino goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill kicks out, Agostino then tries aiming for Bill's crotch with the staple gun but fortunately for Bill, Bea and every man watching at home and in the arena Bill just straight up kicks Agostino in the balls before he can pull the trigger.

Simone: Never thought I'd say this but thank god for that low blow!

Adams: If Agostino had pulled the tigger Bill's screams would've been heard in the North Pole!

The pain causes Agostino to drop the staple gun and Bill grabs a 2x4 that was lying nearby before cracking it over Agostino's back as he was doubled over! Bill goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Agostino kicks out, Bill ventures deeper into the store in search of another weapon and finds a lead pipe before turning around, unfortunately for him Agostino has grabbed the 2x4 and he rams it into Bill's midsection before taking the lead pip and hitting Bill in the back with it! Agostino goes for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill kicks out! However, Agostino decides enough is enough and calls for his finisher.

Simone: Agostino is heading for the Finishing Line!

Adams: Will Bill fail to retain the title on the first defence?

Agostino goes for the Snapmare Necknreaker but takes too long and allows Bill to reverse it into the Elevated Hammerlock.

Simone: The Barnhart Shoulder Breaker! Bill has it locked in!

Adams: Agostino has nowhere to go, stick a fork in him, he's done!

Agostino tries to fight his way out but the pain proves to be too great and he taps.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner by Submission and STILL SCW Roulette Champion "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Simone: Bill surprised us all again, many assumed that his first defence would be his last, but Agostino couldn't get the job done!

Adams: What a way to kick off High Stakes XI!

Bill lets go off the submission hold and celebrates his win as he's handed his title.




When Amber Ryan debuted in 2020, the entirety of Sin City Wrestling sat up and took notice. With her attitude coupled with her promo and in-ring skill, she quickly set herself up as a woman who was to be taken seriously. Many wrestlers, both male and female, expressed apprehension at the very thought of stepping inside of the ring against her. And when she defeated Hall of Famer Crystal Zdunich for the World Championship, her reign of dominance had begun and thus far, it shows no signs of slowing down. She has met and defeated the very best the Bombshell division has to offer, and the SCW Universe could not help but reward her with the most prestigious Year End Award that they could. In so doing, Amber Ryan becomes only the second woman in SCW history to be voted by the fans as Wrestler of the Year. We offer her our congratulations!




Scene switches to the backstage area, seeing Bella Madison, headphones on, blaring something heavy metal as she's in the middle of her pre-match stretching routine. After a few, she bends down and suddenly gets tackled by a small boy with dirty blonde hair.

Little Boy: BE!

Bella shifts herself to come face to face with the little boy and gives a big smile, sweeping him up in her arms and he engulfs her in a hug.

Bella Madison: Hey lil brother! What are you doing back here?

Bella's 2.5 year old little brother Aaron giggles in her arms as she pokes at his belly.

Aaron Madison: We come watch you!

Bella Madison: Oh yeah? I'm assuming you are not by your own little lonesome. Where's mommy, huh?

Female Voice: OH THERE HE IS! FOUND HIM!

Bella looks off to the side seeing her mother, Laura 'Phoenix' Madison comes rushing up to them.

Laura Phoenix: Aaron Madison, I swear. I looked away for just a moment to say hi to some people and I turned around and he was gone.

Aaron Madison: I found Be all self!

Laura looks at her son with a stern look.

Laura Phoenix: I see that! However, you running off without mommy and daddy is not good, little man.

Bella Madison: Yeaaaaaah, I agree with that. Though I am happy to see you here.

Laura Phoenix: We wouldn't have missed this for the world and you know it.

Bella looks around for a moment and gets a sad look on her face.

Bella Madison: No Nick?

Just as Laura goes to speak up, Nick appears behind her, almost out of breath.

Aaron Madison: Hi dad!

Nick Madison: Not cool, dude. You scared the crap out of us.

Aaron Madison: SORRY! I found Be!

Bella looks at her brother as she hands him over to her dad.

Bella Madison: Just a little trouble maker, ain't ya?

Laura Phoenix: Just like his sis.

Bella Madison: Oh come on, I was not that bad. I just...I'm so happy you guys are here.

Laura Phoenix: Your grandfather is here too, we sent him to our seats but someone wanted to come back and make sure you were in that right mindset.

Laura looks right at Nick and he shrugs coyly.

Nick Madison: Hey, I just wanna make sure she's not psyching herself out. This is the first time she's had the chance to really step-up in her hometown.

Bella Madison: Yes, but it is not my first match. My nerves are going a million miles a minute, which is nothing new. But this has such a big fight feel to it and honestly I have never felt more ready in my life.

Nick Madison: That's good. Keep that feeling, cause when you step out there tonight, those nerves are going to multiply.

Bella's eyes get big for a moment as Laura elbows her husband.

Laura Phoenix: Not exactly how I would have put it.

Nick Madison: Hey, I'm just telling her the truth. It's what keeps ya coming back honestly.

Laura rolls her eyes and focuses on her daughter.

Laura Phoenix: I have no doubt that you will be absolutely phenomenal out there. Enjoy every moment.

Bella Madison: I intend too.

Nick bounces Aaron on his hip to get his attention.

Nick Madison: And we're going to be cheering loudly for ya.

Aaron Madison: YAY GO BE!

They all look at Aaron as he raises his arms in victory and have a good laugh.

Male Voice: Someone's been working on that!

Aaron's face lights up when he sees Malachi and does everything to be put down to rush over to him.

Aaron Madison: MAL!

Mal tosses Bella a water bottle before swooping the boy up with his good arm.

Malachi: Sup rugrat.

Nick Madison: Someone found out about Disney.

Mal can't help but glare at his father-in-law cause there was a bet made not that long ago.

Malachi: I wonder who told him.

Aaron Madison: SMALL WORLD!

Nick looks around innocently as Aaron tries to singing it before Mal slides him down and shooing him over towards Laura.

Laura Phoenix: Okay, I think it's about time we let Bella finish her pre-match routine.

Laura steps up and takes her by the shoulders.

Laura Phoenix: You got it?

Bella motions to her side as we see her ring jacket that has been passed down from her mother, redesigned with her own flare.

Bella Madison: Got it.

Laura gives her a quick hug before fixing up Bella's hair a bit before Nick pulls her back with Aaron being held on with his other hand.

Laura Phoenix: You got this. Knock 'em dead.

Nick Madison: Kill it, kid.

Bella Madison: Love you both!

And then there's just Mal and her. He reaches behind her and holds open her ring jacket.

Malachi: Time to take your moment.

Bella turns and slides it on fixing her hair in the process. She turns around and gives him a kiss.

Bella Madison: See you on the flip side.

Malachi: Be safe.




Justin: This next match is a three minute, three round Kickboxing Match for the SCu Combat Championship!!! Already in the ring, to my left, the challenger, he is the current GRIME Champion.... Joshua Acquin!!!

Joshua raises his hands to a mix reaction but more on the cheering side.

Justin: To my right, he is the current SCU Combat Champion.... Andrey, Azarovvvvvv!!!!

The two men walk to the center of the ring. Justin stands in the background as the two men walk up to face each other in front of the referee for the match, Brooke Saxon. Brooke goes over some last minute details before asking if they want to touch glove. Both men tap gloves then go back to their corners.

Simone: With round one over, we can say Andrey is up on points with what took place in the last few seconds of round one. Joshua will have to knock Andrey out or come strong the next two rounds to take the lead from the current Combat Champion Andrey Azarov.

Joshua stunned face goes to an upset look. Pissed at Andrey cheap shot Joshua walks to Andrey. The two exchange words as Brooke gets between them to separate the two. Andrey laughs at Joshua while taking off his gloves. Andrey throws them at Joshua. Brooke extends her hands to keep the two champions away from each other. Joshua backs away as Andrey turns around to get on a turnbuckle to celebrate. Joshua goes through the middle ropes to stand on the apron. Andrey stands on the middle turnbuckle, facing the crowd, soaking in the boos. Joshua looks at the crowd then at Andrey. Joshua, still on the apron, runs to the other side of the ring. Joshua jumps up to grab Andrey's head. Joshua keeps dragging Andrey out of the ring with him. Joshua lands on the floor on his back hard but Andrey's head hits the floor even worse with a Tornado DDT by Joshua.

Simone: Andrey wins with cheap tactics but at what cost! Both men are down and out as Joshua wasn't about to wait to get some payback! I'll be looking forward to see what the people in SCU plan on doing about this.




The cameras pan backstage to find the bright red smirk that belongs to Danielle Weston. The fans in NYC boo as soon as her face is shown on the screen, only causing her smirk to grow wilder. With a lick of her lips, Dani stares down the camera before her and with a cheeky wink she starts to speak.

Dani: New York... What a shit tip.

The crowd swallowed Dani's voice with boos drowning her out so she took a step closer to the camera.

Dani: You know what my favourite landmark in this city is? It's not the shitty Empire State Building, it's just a glass rectangle with a pole on the top. You can shove the Statue of Liberty too, you backward rat lovers didn't even create it. It was gifted to you by the French. Fuck the Brooklyn Bridge... Central Park? You want to be applauded for providing a place to exercise and yet, it's clearly obvious that you hot dog inhaling sweaty bastards wouldn't know the difference between a pull up and a push up.

The crowd hissed with boos.

Dani: No... my favourite tourist spot is the You Are Now Leaving NYC Sign... in the business lounge at the JFK airport...

The crowd riled up once more. Dani just smiled proud of herself.

Dani: Boo me all you want, in fact I encourage it. It will be good practice for when I step into the ring tonight and I take your hometown queen to her absolute limits... There will be no saving grace, there will be no last minute effort to protect the city that she loves. Mikah will bow to me in front of you all and there is nothing ANY of you can do about it. No matter how hard you cheer for her, your rallies will fall on deaf ears... no matter how much you defend your queen, she still won't have what it takes to beat me.

Dani smiled wildly.

Dani: Your precious Mikah will let you all down. She'll let herself down and by the end of the night... you will be forced to realise that I was right all along. I am the better Bombshell. I am the better wrestler.

She licked her lips before she continued.

Dani: Regardless of her titles, her reigns... how many people get to stand here and say they have beaten Mikah not once but twice? It's rare. It's almost unheard of but I promise you New York by the end of the night you'll witness it first hand. It will go down in your history books and it will scar you all for life. Consider it my gift to you, consider it another stain on your sporting hero's records. I mean you should be used to the ongoing feeling of failure by now, it's second nature to you to come up second best.

Dani just smiled, her white teeth on display.

Dani: Embrace your future Leader of the Bombshell division, New York... feast your eyes upon what a real queen of the ring looks like. Drink it all in because this is for one night only.

She held her hands out to the side, as if she was asking the fans to bask in her glory.

Dani: because believe me... I will never step foot in this shit hole city again. You don't deserve me.

The crowd cheered that last statement because they didn't want to see Dani again, but Dani didn't care. She just rubbed her lips together and with a sarcastic wink she turned away from the camera and took her leave.




When then-World Heavyweight Champion Mac Bane was given the right to choose his own challenger for Violent Conduct VII, few expected him to select then-Roulette Champion Alex Jones to compete in a title versus title match. Least of all, Alex himself! Alex thought that perhaps he was nearing the apex of his wrestling career, when this opportunity afforded him new life and he walked away with his second World Heavyweight Championship. Since then, Alex has been a fighting champion, defeating former champion Bane in a rematch and stepping up to anyone who wants a title opportunity, bypassing no one. One chance was all he needed to prove that not only was his career FAR from over, but he rose a head above the rest in the Superstar division and is their Man of the Year!




p>We can hear loud, passionate grunting coming from behind the door that has just come into view. It gets louder and more intense as we get closer. As the door is pushed open, we can see Fenris and Brother David sparring on a mat inside of a training room. Fenris has David down on the ground, and David is struggling to get back up. He finally sweeps Fenris off of his feet, landing him next to David himself. He leans over Fenris, looking down with a fire in his eyes.

David: I'm ready to be on top. But, once I get a taste, who is to say I'll want to go back on bottom?

David winks when before he knew what had just happened, Fenris used his skill in mat wrestling to reverse their positions, and David suddenly found himself face-down on the floor and Fenris straddling his back. Fenris had the cocky, shit eating grin of his that made so many want to slap it right off of his face and he leaned down to David's shoulder and whispered in his husky, Icelandic tones.

Fenris: You talk as though you have a choice?

David laughs as he turns just a little, leaning back into a kiss, however brief it might be. They both work their way back up to a standing position, both having taken a bit of breath from each other.

David: Now I see why people line up to train with you. It's the added perks, huh?

David grabs a towel and begins to pat at his face. He adjusts his wrestling gear, especially in one certain spot before turning away to grab hold of his water bottle. Fenris comes up and smacks David's backside, and David goes to protest. Fenris places a finger over David's lips to quiet him down.

Fenris: It is the lips.

Fenris then takes a few steps back, distancing himself just enough and has a seat on a bench.

Fenris: Focus tígrisdýr. You earned this title shot. Now just make the most out of it. Caleb is good man, and not a pushover. I know you think otherwise but...

He shrugs, acknowledging the fact.

Fenris: He has earned my respect. Give him the chance to earn yours.

David scoffs at the very idea. He sits down on the bench next to Fenris and pours water down into his mouth, allowing it to flow over his chest to cool down.

David: I know he's your little buddy, but I could never respect such a waste of roster space. Tonight isn't about putting on a good show. It's not about seeing the good in other people. It's about taking something that I want. And since no one else is going to, then it might as well be me, huh?

David shrugs, popping the spout back into the bottle. He sets it down on the bench next to him.

Fenris: Now when you say it is about taking something that you want, are you talking about the Internet title or...?

He smiles suggestively. David turns to Fenris and gives him a playful shove.

David: You know me well enough to know the answer to that question. It's both. The offer was, if I win the title, I get to be on top.

David shies away as soon as the words leave his mouth, instantly wishing he hadn't said that out loud. He just sighs to break up the awkward silence.

David: But seriously, I have the heart of a champion. My first match in SCW was for a title that nobody thought I was going to win. I went up against a former Underground Champion that I was never able to beat in O'Malley. But I walked out the winner. The difference here is that nobody is doubting that I'm going to beat Caleb. All he has is a flimsy victory over me thanks to SOMEBODY...

David looks over at Fenris, giving a playfully mean look.

David: And a title that somehow fell into his lap three times. Your offer was just icing on your cakes.

Fenris scoots back on the bench, resting the back of his head against the lockers. His arms fold across his bare chest and his eyes focus straight ahead, those ice blue orbs frozen in a cold stare.

Fenris: I never thought I was the best student, no matter if it was wrestling or MMA. Gabriel and Odette ... I owe them the world. Never had trainers like them who treated me like family. Maksym pushed me to the point I thought I would break. Kalei though. She was the hardest on me out of anyone. Not ashamed to admit she single handedly taught me the meaning of humiliation and when to show respect. Gabriel and Maksyn give me more credit than I deserve. But one thing they all agreed on is it is all about mental incentive. You can not just want to win. You have to have a reason to want it. Does not matter if it is a fight or wrestling match, opener or championship in a main event. Just saying you want to win is never enough. You have a reason... two, actually. Me?

He smirks and shakes his head.

Fenris: I just want to slap a bitch.

David: It's not about wanting to win. It's a flat out guarantee when my opponent is the biggest piece of trash there is. And this is Sin City Wrestling, so that's saying a lot. I know you don't like to hear that because it's your friend, but this is not where he flourishes. Maybe as a metal mania blog writer, or a concert reviewer. Not a wrestler. I'm telling you that I'm going to win. My reason is because he's trash, and I want that title belt.

Fenris scoffs, standing up. He briefly stretches as he is, of course, also scheduled to compete tonight against Marcus Cage and is already prepared, clad in his own wrestling gear of plain, white latex shorts. He turns around and leans in close.

Fenris: We all know what you really want.

Before he stands upright, pulling David along with him when he turns around, and stops so suddenly that David walks right into his back. Fenris's face has gone from cocky and playful, to just cold and unyielding. David casts a glance to him to see, then looks ahead to see what it is that has caused such a reaction from his man. And that would be just who was standing in the door frame of the training room.

Gerald: Son, it's been a while since we've seen you.

Gerald and Mavis Shepherd are right there. Mavis is on crutches, a big smile on her face, while Gerald holds his arms open for a hug from David. David's eyes sink in a bit as he seems to be out of his own body. He storms past Gerald, going through the second door. Gerald looks back at David, his spirits sinking as Mavis rubs his arm.

Mavis: Just give him time, angel...

Fenris scoffs as he grabs his own water bottle and slaps his favorite baseball cap on his scalp.

Fenris: Yeah, that's going to work.

Fenris walks past them, giving them just a long enough pause to add the caustic remark...

Fenris: Maybe same number of years to heal as it took for you to fuck him up.

Then he takes his leave to go find David, leaving Gerald and Mavis behind.




Justin Decent: The following match is scheduled for one fall...introducing first

The lights go down as the angelic sound of a choir begins singing. As the choir sing, a spotlight slowly comes on, revealing the silhouette of a man with his arms held out, forming a cross. The back outline of angel wings flanks him on both sides. The choir goes quiet as the lead vocals come in.

The house lights come up and the man known throughout the wrestling world as "Godly" Ken Davison stands center stage, taking in the reaction of the crowd. As the main verse kicks in, Davison methodically walks down to the ring, ignoring everything else going on around him.

Davison gets to the ring side area and jumps onto the ring apron. He wipes his feet and enters the ring between the top and middle ropes as the chorus kicks in.

The song continues and Davison removes his vestments, handing them to the ring attendant as the song continues.

Davison circles the ring and as the chorus kicks in again, and Davison stands in the middle of the ring, once again posing with his arms out. As he stands still a red laser circles the arena.

The red dot of the laser finally settles on the center of Davison's forehead and the sound of a gunshot echoes throughout the arena as the lights once again go dark. When the lights come back up, Davison is on his knees with his arms still extended.

Justin Decent: Now in the ring, standing 5'10 and weighing in at 219 pounds, from Baltimore Maryland...GODLY KEN DAVIDSON

The lights kick out in the arena as we hear an offbeat choir of punks singing "ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh" until we build to a complete silence...until it's shattered by:

"WE ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS!!!!"

Suddenly blasting pyro fires off as the legendary "Iceman" Levi Russow comes bouncing out onto the ramp in time with the music dancing and twirling as the fans are going ape shit as he spins twice and takes off like a dart to the ring sliding under the bottom rope and popping up and running to the corner where he runs up the turnbuckles and backflips off landing in a superhero position in the middle of the ring..

Justin Decent: And his opponent, standing 5'9 and weighing in at 205 pounds from Manhattan New York....LEVI RUSSOW

DING DING DING!

The two men stare across the ring at each other, the crowd shocked that we are seeing a member of the legendary Russow family face Godly Ken Davidson in an SCW ring. They lock up, Davidson pushes against Russow taking him all the way back to one of the corners of the six sided ring. Referee Jasmine St John starts a count, Davidson puts his hands up and steps back letting Levi out of the corner, a smile on Davidsons face as he calls for Levi to come at him, Levi shakes his head and rolls his eyes before coming out and going to lock up again, this time as Davidson pushes him and tries to get Levi to the corner Levi ducks down and uses Kens momentum against him hitting an arm drag across the ring. Davidsons rols over his shoulder and ends up on one knee as Levi pops up in the middle of the ring telling Ken to come at him now. Davidson shakes his head and pulls himself up on the ropes circling around Levi..

Adams: A feeling out process here to start. Levi Russow was strangely quiet leading up to this match. Weird considering he's against someone like Ken Davidson

Simone: Ken Davidson has been in the business for almost 30 years. That is a long time to be in the ring, a long time to be studying opponents. There isn't anything Levi Russow can do that Ken hasn't seen, so to win this match he has to make sure he just does things BETTER

Adams: But can he? He was able to use Davidsons own momentum against him with that arm drag but he'll need to do more than that to beat him.

The two men move around each other again, As they step forward Ken grabs Levi and hammers in a few hard forearm strikes, he hits Levi again and again before pulling his arm back and firing off one with such force it drops the New York native, Levi hits the mat hard and Davidson moves back measuring him up, as Levi stirs and gets to the corner to pull himself up Davidson comes running in hitting a running big boot right to Levis face, Levi stumbles out, lands on the mat and as he goes to get up Davidson stays on the attack with a series of vicious kicks to the chest of Levi, Davidson then steps back and fires off a harder, faster kick hitting Levi to the side of the head taking him down. Davidson rolls Levi over, hooking rhe ouside leg

ONE!

TWO!

Levi kicks out. Ken shakes his head and grabs Levi by the hair pulling him up. He pushes Levi towards the corner, grabbing both of Levi's arms and putting them over the top rope on either side of the turnbuckle to expose his chest, Ken winds up and fires in a hard knife edge chop, he hits another and another before Levi decides to try and cover-up, Ken hits a hard forearm to the jaw of Levi before throwing his arms back over the top rope again and this time hitting a hard overhand chop, his hand slams against Levi's chest making a loud clapping sound that echoes through the arena. The crowd "ooos" loudly as Ken smirks and nods his head. He grabs Levi by the wrist and whips him across the ring, Levi jumps on the ropes, jumping backwards for a crossbody but Ken ducks it causing Levi to hit the mat hard.

Simone: Levi needed to try something there, Ken is starting to get the upper hand and I don't know if Levi can make the proper adjustments to get back into this match.

Adams: Levi is no slouch, he has so much experience but it just falls short of what Ken had. Davidson has more experience than most on any roster.

Ken measures Levi up and as Levi tries to get to his feet Ken comes in with a kick, Levi though is able to catch Ken by the leg and stand up before throwing Ken backward and going for an enziguri, it connects with Ken on the side of the head and the godly one lands hard before rolling from the ring to get away from Levi. Levi starts to get a head of steam hitting the ropes and throwing himself out of the ring with a suicide dive on to Ken Davidson. Levi looks to be getting some momentum as he looks to the crowd and fires them all up. Ken crawls along the outside of the ring before getting to his feet, Levi measures can up and goes for a superkick, Ken ducks under it and trips Levi up before shoving him forward into the steel ring steps.

Simone: Levi made a mistake and now Ken Davidson made him pay. It was a shame because it seemed like Levi was going to make a bit of a comeback

Adams: If he hit that superkick then it would have been interesting, but now he has to fight back up from the bottom again. If anyone can do it Levi Russow can but he just hasn't been able to get out of the blocks here tonight, it seems like Ken Davidson has his number on everything.

Ken grabs Levi by the tights and rolls him in the ring, he pulls Levi up going for the Jawdropper, Levi kicks his legs and lands down behind him, Ken turns around and eats a jumping knee strike from Russow, he stumbles back, Russow grabs Ken, spins him around going for the Out cold, as he spins though Ken shoves Levi away, Levi hits his throat on the top rope, he stumbles back, Ken grabs Levi by the head and stomach tripping him down to the mat locking in the HANDS OF GOD. Levi kicks his legs and throws his arms out trying to get to the ropes, but he is too far away he has no choice but to verbally submit!.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner.... Godly Ken Davision!

Simone: AND KEN DAVIDSON WINS!

Adams: Levi struggled to really stand up to Davidson, he's more talented than that but Ken Davidson has stamped his mark on SCW...




2021 has been an epic whirlwind for Amber Ryan. Ending the fifth and record setting World Championship reign of Crystal Zdunich and becoming the new face of the Bombshell division! Making it to the Semi-Finals of the Blast From the Past with Despayre at her side. Engaging in one of the most brutal championship matches in SCW history, garnering an almost guaranteed Match of the Year nomination in the process! Her in-ring rivalry with Myra Rivers will be talked about for years to come. With such encounters against Myra and Hall of Fame inductees like Roxi Johnson and Crystal Zdunich, it is no small wonder why Amber has been named Woman of the Year!




Helluva Bottom Carter is backstage, hands over the lower half of his face and eyes closed, pacing back and forth. He is clearly dressed to compete in his rainbow tye-dyed belly shirt, denim booty shorts and those thigh-high boots. He paces back and forth when from behind him...

Marissa: Carter?

But her speaking out of the blue gives the poor kid a start and he jumps, spinning around and almost falling against a nearby folding table.

HBCarter: Oh Jesus! If you're ever going to sneak up on a guy like that, at least have the common courtesy of talking dirty first as a warning!

Marissa Henry, one of the premiere and most respected backstage reporters in Sin City Underground - who also happens to be Carter's absolute favorite to talk to, just smiles and shakes her head. Altogether too familiar with the young man's wit.

Marissa: Are you alright? You seem nervous.

HBCarter: Do I? Small wonder!

He stops pacing and rests both hands on his hips. He draws in a deep breath, eyes closed, then slowly exhales. He opens his eyes and shakes his head.

HBCarter: Nope! Still as nervous as a virgin in a prison rodeo!

Marissa: Wow, that's ... pretty nervous! Are you alright?

HBCarter: Well, let's see. I'm on the biggest show of the year, High Stakes XI, in the most famous arena in the world - Madison Square Garden! And soon I am going to go out there, in front of the biggest crowd I've ever wrestled in front of, and compete for the one title that I want more than ANYTHING!

The poor kid looks almost miserable as he wraps his arms around himself and looks to Marissa.

HBCarter: I want this so bad I can taste it! You can't even begin to imagine how badly I want to be Underground Champion! And I'm doing all of this here - without my usual support!

Marissa: You mean Ariana who is competing today on the pre-show for the GRIME championship?

Carter nods.

HBCarter: It's high time my girl won her first singles championship! But this.... you have no idea how much this match means to me.

Marissa: I think I do, and I do want to wish you the best of luck. Go out there and just do your absolute best.

Marissa offers him a small smile, and he can not help but smile back.

HBCarter: Thank you. That means so much to me right now.

She pats him on the shoulder, ushering him along his way. As Carter moves toward the part of the hallway that leads toward the gorilla position, who other than BEN JORDAN appears walking in the opposite direction! Carter's eyes find Ben's handsome visage, and Ben gives him that friendly, charming and bright smile that he has always been known for,

Ben: Go get `em tiger!

Ben pats him on the back as they pass, and an enamored Carter turns his head to watch him go - and crashes right into the wall! Carter staggers back and quickly looks around to see if there are any witnesses. He then adjusts his short, clears his throat and acts all nonchalant as he turns and goes off in the correct direction!




We cut backstage to where Scott Oliver is standing with Bea Barnhart for comments on her match tonight which is a Fatal Four-Way match to see which of the four Bombshells earns a shot at the Bombshell World Champion at the final Climax Control of 2021 that will be held on December 19, 2021.

Scott: Well, Bea, you have a great match tonight. You face off against Bella Madison, Seleana Zdunich, and Violet Amelia Holt with the winner facing the World Bombshell Champion at the final Climax Control of 2019. Considering you haven't obtained a win over Bella or Seleana do you honestly believe you have a chance of winning this match then going on to face whoever is the winner of the World Bombshell Championship match tonight?

Bea: Scott you well know I go into every match with the intention of winning. However nobody can have that on their mind and automatically win every match. Everyone loses matches and everyone wins matches. It depends on how the match goes on that particular day. But to answer your question I believe I can, and will, win this match and then go on to face the World Bombshell Champion on December 19, 2021. If any wrestler enters a match thinking they're going to lose then they've already lost that match. I go into every match with my mind set on winning.

Scott: Is there anything in this match that you feel works in your favor?

Bea: This is a Last Person Standing match which means it'll be brutal. That works in my favor since I can stand toe-to-toe with anyone and come out the winner. You can also add into the equation that the other three wrestlers in my match will be attacking each other, and not just attacking me, so if they wear each other down, and take each other out, whichever one of them is remaining is the one I take out for the win.

Scott: Oh, come on Bea, do you really think it is that simple?

Bea: Yes I do. Watch my match so you can see it for yourself.

Scott: There you have it. An extremely confident, as always, Bea Barnhart, ready for her chance to face off against the World Bombshell Champion.

The camera person cuts their camera feed and the screen goes dark.




Simone: Welcome back to High Stakes XI, later on tonight Amber Ryan will defend her World Bombshell Championship against Christina Rose and Roxi Johnson but this next match could determine the next challenger for that title as Bea Barnhart, Bella Madison, Seleana Zdunich and Violent Amelia Holt do battle, the winner receiving a shot at the World Bombshell Championship on the final Climax Control of 2021!

Adams: The men will get their chance to compete for a shot at their division's championship later in the show but as the old saying goes, ladies first! All four of these women have suffered setbacks lately so a win here would right that ship big time!

Simone: Let's take it to Justin for the introductions!

Justin: The following is Fatal Four Way Christmas Qualifier Match where the winner will compete for a shot at the World Bombshell Championship on the final Climax Control of 2021!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look.

Justin: Introducing first, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, Bea Barnhart!

As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.

Simone: I'll go ahead and say it now, the last time we saw Bea, Bella and Seleana was when they challenged Krystal Wolfe for the Roulette Title alongside Johanna Krieger at the Halloween Special, the fact that they are in the match and not Krystal should tell you how that went for them!

Adams: Not to mention tonight's Bombshell Roulette Title Match!

Justin: NEW YORK CITY! GIVE IT UP FOR NEW YEARS DAY!!!!

The ominous tones of the beginning of their song "Shut Up" begins to blare over the MSG sound system as Ash Costello is seen front and center. Through her long hair she brings the microphone up with the screen behind her coming alive with the familiar video package.

Twisted and dirty
Think that you know me
That you control me
Have it figured it out
Boy I'm not breaking
Better get praying
You need the saving
To keep you devout

Ash steps up on a raised area continuing on, as behind her we see on the video screen climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling boots.

I told you once
I told you twice
I can't be tricked
Can't be hypnotized
You tell me I'm pretty when
I'm sitting here in silence

The roar comes as on the screen we see Bella sitting on a throne with a smile on her face.

Ash Costello: SINGING IT IF YOU KNOW IT NEW YORK!

Don't try and tell me what a girl wants
Shut up and give it to me
You got the picture painted all wrong
No, I won't be your masterpiece
Don't feed me lies
I'll chew them up and spit em out
Don't try and tell me what a girl wants
Shut up and give it to me

Sick and perverted
Nobody's perfect
This shit ain't worth it
I'm calling you out
You calling me crazy
Then calling me baby
Like its gonna change things
But I figured it out

The video screen flashes different times of Bella's career as MSG enjoys the music.

I told you once
I told you twice
I can't be tricked
Can't be hypnotized
You tell me I'm ready when
I'm sitting here in silence

While the screen continues to play Bella's entrance video, Ash hops off her risen stage and comes face to face with the main camera focusing on them

Don't try and tell me what a girl wants
Shut up and give it to me
You got the picture painted all wrong
No, I won't be your masterpiece
Don't feed me lies
I'll chew them up and spit em out
Don't try and tell me what a girl wants
Shut up and give it to me

The whole arena goes dark except for one spot light on Ash looking ominous.

If you really give a fuck about me
You'd shut your mouth and you'd let me speak
You only care bout what you want for me
What you want for me
Not what I want for me
If you really give a fuck about me
You'd shut your mouth and you'd let me speak
You only care bout what you want for me
What you want for me
Not what I want for me

The whole area goes dark with the fans chanting for Bella, and suddenly the roar comes across loudly as Bella Madison now stands atop the raised stage with her back turned for only a moment and spins around as the fans at MSG come alive. She stands there for a moment, taking it all in as the band keeps rocking out.

Don't try and tell me what a girl wants
Shut up and give it to me
You got the picture painted all wrong
No, I won't be your masterpiece

Bella hops down and steps up next to Ash and they give each other a fist bump before she runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. She hops up onto the second rope and soaks in the admiration from the hometown crowd.

Don't feed me lies
I'll chew them up and spit em out
Don't try and tell me what a girl wants
Shut up and give it to me

The beat drops and she hops off the corner and stands in the center of the ring for a moment before posing on the ropes, getting hyped up from the crowd even more before waving down to her family sitting in the front row. Blowing them all kisses.

If you really give a fuck about me
You'd shut up and give it to me
Shut your mouth and let me speak
If you really give a fuck about me
You'd shut up and give it to me
Don't try and tell me what a girl wants

She takes center stage one more time and points to the band as Ash screams out the final line

Shut up and give it to me!!!

Simone: NEW YEARS DAY! The artist behind New York's OWN Bella Madison here tonight at MSG and did you hear that crowd?

Adams: I think I just partially deaf from the crowd alone.

Simone: Bella is hyped up more than I have ever seen in her since she joined SCW. This is a big moment for Bella, competing for a World Bombshell Title Shot in her home city!

Adams: Let's hope she can handle the pressure!

The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Justin: From Halmstad, Sweden, "The Cat" Seleana Zdunich!

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on.

Simone: Seleana has had two Roulette Title Shots this past cycle and fell short both times, a win here would be a big boost for her.

Adams: And get her back in World Bombshell Title Contention!

The lights softly die down as a countdown clock appears on the screen. Once the clock hits zero, "Tell Me It's Alright" 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: Making her way to the ring being accompanied by her father Dustin Holt and sister Shelby Holt, from Orlando, Florida. Please welcome Violet Amelia Holt

Violet sombrely 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: Violet returned at the beginning of the cycle where she fought Bella Madison to a time limit draw, since then she's teamed with Lincoln Daniels to challenge Austin James Mercer and Tempest for the Mixed Tag Titles.

Adams: And again, the fact that she's in this match should tell you everything you need to know about how that ended for her!

Once all four women are in the ring Drew goes over the rules with them before calling for the bell, as soon as he does however the Violet bullrushes Bella backing her into the corner and Bea joins Violet in the corner laying the boots to Bella, leaving Seleana without a dance partner.

DING DING DING!

Simone: It didn't take long for chaos to break out, and Bea and Violet went straight after Bella.

Adams: Violet's likely looking to avenge the time limit draw at Disneyworld and don't forget, Bella and Krystal eliminated Bea from the Graveyard Elimination Match and since Krystal isn't in the match this probably the closest thing Bea has to payback for that! Off course a side effect of that is that it's left Seleana without someone to trade blows with!

Seleana is clearly not amused at being ignored by two of her opponents and takes it upon herself to do something about it, coming up from behind Bea, spinning her around and levelling her with a wild right hand! Bea rolls to the outside to try to put distance between herself and Seleana but the former World Bombshell Champ gives chase and the duo end up brawling at ringside! Back in the ring Violet is distracted for a second by Seleana's intervention and this gives Bella the chance she needs to get back in the fight delivering some hard kicks from the ground to Violet's midriff before she pulls herself up to the middle rope and hits Violet with a dropkick sending her flying across the ring.

Simone: All it took was Seleana doing the ring thing by breaking up the two on one assault that Bea and Violet were inflicting on Bella for things to even appear to be fair!

Adams: It's almost like Violet and Bea forgot that there was a fourth Bombshell in the match! And speaking of which, here's Bella with the first pinfall!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bea dives in to break up the pin-fall by Bella on Violet! However, before Bella can retaliate Seleana pulls Bea back out of the ring to resume their brawl! But upon seeing that Bella decides to take out two birds with one stone by charging at the ropes and hitting both women with a Tope Suicida! Bella takes a moment to pause for her hometown crowd but it's a moment too long as Violet has recovered enough to hit Bella with a running senton of the apron the moment she turns around.

Simone: Now all four women are down for the count!

Adams: I think it's safe to say that whoever gets up first will have a huge advantage!

Drew can only stand there and wait for one of the women to stir due to the rules of the match but after a while it's Seleana that gets up first and she drags Bea Barnhart up with her before rolling her into the ring and following her in! Seleana doesn't go for a cover right off the bat however instead giving Bea a chance to get to her feet before hitting her with a running bulldog! Seleana goes for her first cover of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Violet breaks it up with a moonsault! Seleana rolls away and Violet takes the opportunity to cover Bea!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bella breaks it up with a Standing Shooting Star Press!

Simone: All four women are laying it all on the line tonight!

Adams: With a shot at the World Bombshell Championship at stake I'd be shocked if they didn't lay it all on the line!

Bea uses the chaos to get away from the action whilst Bella and Violet pick up from where they left off at the beginning of the cycle by exchanging punches in the middle of the ring, unfortunately for them Seleana comes up from behind them after a few minutes off their and cracks their heads together sending both women stumbling back, Violet rolls out onto the apron whilst Bella leans against the ring ropes but before Seleana can do anything else Bea grabs her by the hair and throws her into Violet sending the Second Generation Wrestler crashing to the floor!

Simone: Ouch! Violet will feel that landing in the morning!

Adams: Good thing she'll have a whole week off to recover!

Seeing Violet clutch her back in pain Bea drops Seleana with a DDT in the middle of the ring before she goes to send Bella to the outside with a Clothesline over the ropes, however this only succeeds in sending the New Yorker over the ropes as Bella was able to grab onto the bottom rope on her way down keeping herself in the ring as Bea goes for a cover on Seleana making sure to hook both legs and grab a hold of Seleana's tights to be sure!

ONE!

TWO!

And Seleana still gets the shoulder up! Bea looks up at Drew in shock but doesn't get a chance to argue it as Violet sneaks up behind her and hits Bea with the Shot of Jack D! Violet quickly goes for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bella rolls Violet up out of the attempt on Bea!

ONE!

TWO!

And Seleana breaks it up! Seleana then picks up Bella and drops her with a brainbuster in the centre of the ring! Seleana goes for the cover not realizing that Bea is starting to stir!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bea breaks it up at the literal last second!

Simone: One more second and Seleana would've been the next challenger for the World Bombshell Championship!

Adams: And considering her estranged wife is competing for that title in tonight's Main Event, that would've made Christmas awkward Christina wins the title tonight!

Bea hits a Snap Suplex on Seleana before realizing that Bella is still down, Violet is stirring in the corner, but Bea doesn't see her as she goes for a pin on Bella!

ONE!

TWO!

And Violet breaks it up! A brawl ensures between Violet and Bea whilst Bella rolls out of harms way and Seleana tries to break up the brawl with a double head smash again, this time Violet and Bea see her coming and duck the attempt before they work together to throw Seleana to the outside! The two villainous Bombshells share a high five before Bea rolls out of the ring to inflict further damage on Seleana but then Violet gets the idea!

Simone: I think Violet just realized that she's in a prime position to win the match!

Adams: Bea and Seleana on the outside, Bella still loopy on the inside, you might be right Belinda!

Indeed, Violet wastes no time in wiping out Bea and Seleana with the Blonde Bomber Suicide Dive before she rolls back into the ring and waits for Bella to get back to her feet! Violet goes for the Fifty Shades of Violet on Bella, but Bella blocks it before reversing it not the Ashes for Ashes!

Simone: Ashes to Ashes on Violet! We are seeing a repeat of their match from the Disneyworld Show!

Adams: No time limit to stop Bella from getting the win this time, stick a fork in Violet she's done!

Bella goes for the cover as the crowd chants along with Drew's count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, New York City's own Bella Madison!

Simone: Bella just booked her ticket to the biggest match of her career right here in her hometown of New York!

Adams: What a match and what a moment for this young lady!

Bella is overcome with emotion once it sinks in, and she leaves the ring to celebrate with her friends and family in the crowd!




Is it the sport of professional wrestling, or the Dating Game inside of a six-sided ring? Many have joked but the fact is that this business is budding with a vast array of loving relationships, some dating, some marriage. Some go on, and some have sadly come to an end, but the one that has stood the test of time is the loving married couple of Roxi and Keira - Team Hero. While we are certain that Roxi and Keira have had their share of bumps in the road, it never lasts and they remain always loyal and supportive no matter the circumstances, they are there for one another through thick and thin. Roxi and Keira = relationship goals! They are the Couple of the Year!




The scene opens backstage where we see the reigning SCW Internet Champion Caleb Storms ready to be interviewed by Pussy Willow.

Pussy: Caleb, earlier tonight we saw Bill Barnhart retain the Roulette Title against Agostino Romano, can you do the same against Brother David Shepherd?

Caleb: To be honest, I'm not sure.

Caleb says before pausing.

Caleb: Not sure why Brother David Shepherd thinks he has a chance in hell of defeating me in New York City!

The crowd pops for the mention of Caleb's home state.

Caleb: I've said this a few times, but New York is my home state! Sure, my home city is about four hours away from here but it's still close enough! And tonight, The Metal Storm will blow through the competition!

Caleb walks off as the scene fades.




Justin Decent: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Sin City Wrestling Internet championship Introducing first

The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing accross the arena before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp..

Justin Decent: from Syracuse, New York and weighing in at 220ibs, he is "The Metal Storm" Caleb 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 opponent.

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 Decent: 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.

DING DING DING!

The champion and the challenger stare each other down as the crowd gets fired up for the Internet championship match. Caleb looks David up and down, the member of the good shepherd's standing a few inches taller than Caleb but outweighing him. David lunges forward trying to grab ahold of Caleb, Caleb ducks under and hits the ropes looking to get the upper hand with his speed, he leaps in the air and hits David in the chest with a drop kick, David stumbles back into the ropes and falls from the ring to the floor. Caleb gets out onto the ring apron and waits for David to get to his feet, as he does Caleb leaps off the apron down onto the floor with a cross body, he lands on David shepherd and starts to throw hard right hand hitting his challenger over and over again in the top of the head before popping to his feet being fired up. Shepherd shakes his head and rolls to his feet, he tries to get some distance between himself and Caleb as he moves around the outside of the ring, Caleb runs and leaps off the steel steps jumping in the air and hitting a spear onto David shepherd onto the outside. The crowd goes insane as Caleb moves around and pulls David up throwing him into the ring to break the count. .

Adams: Caleb storms has exploded here. He clearly wants to keep that championship. David shepherd is a worthy opponent for him but at the same time Caleb isn't stupid, he knows that his confidence is at an all-time high right now.

Simone: I have been critical of Caleb storms in the past, but the last few months Caleb has been on an entirely other level. He's living up to that potential that so many people have told us he's had.

Adams: Wow, praise from you. Caleb must be doing something right.

Caleb starts to climb to the top rope as he waits for David to get to his feet, as he does Caleb leaps off going for a hurricanrana he lands on David's shoulders and goes to spin around and flip David over comma David plants his feet and pulls Caleb right back up with a amazing show of strength before slamming him down with a powerbomb. Caleb holds his back and rolls over as David reaches down and pulls Caleb to his feet, he hits a few hard forearms before hitting a side knee right to the stomach of Caleb doubling him over. David grabs Caleb's arm sliding it downwards between his own legs hooking him up into a pumphandle. He picks Caleb up and drops him straight down with a hard pumphandle slam. David hooks the outside leg and goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Caleb kicks out. David shakes his head and pulls Caleb up. He hits a few hard right hands before whipping Caleb across the ring into the ropes, David ducks down and goes for a back body drop. Caleb puts on the brakes and kicks David in the chest causing him to stand up, Caleb then hits a hard right of his own and pushes David into the corner hitting a few right hands before backing up and running in going for a splash, David moves from the corner and is able to catch Caleb around the waist before popping his hips and hitting the first of multiple German suplexes. David hits a second before rolling his hips and getting to his feet hitting a third German suplex spiking Caleb on his shoulders and the back of his head before keeping hold of him with the third arching his back into a pin

ONE!

TWO!

Caleb kikcs out again

Simone: David Shepard has taken over this match, if Caleb wants to keep his title he has to get away from David and create some distance

Adams: Easier said than done, David Shepard is 6'4 and almost 250 pounds...he is deceptively big.

David shakes his head clearly frustrated with the fact Caleb refuses to stay down.He reaches down and pulls Caleb up by his long hair before hitting a headbutt followed by a few right hands. He ducks down and goes to pick Caleb up going for a Samoan drop, Caleb kicks his legs and lands behind David, he turns and hits the ropes but David too turns around and jumps in the air hitting a Lou thesz press taking Caleb down and raining hard right hands to the face of Caleb storms. He gets up pulling Caleb with him and setting him up for a crucifix powerbomb, Caleb again kicks his legs and this time lands behind David spinning him around and kicking him in the stomach hitting a DDT. Caleb rolls David over and goes for a pin of his own.

David kicks out again! The crowd can't believe it as Caleb holds up three fingers, the referee disagrees and holds up two

Simone: You have to focus Caleb. You almost had David beaten what are you doing?

Adams: All he needs to do is turn right back around and stay on the attack, David shepherd is still vulnerable.

Caleb looks over to the corner and starts to climb,he measures David up and calls for the metal health. He jumps going for the shooting star press but David moves, Caleb shows incredible athletic ability and is able to rotate all the way around and land on his feet. But he is still off balance and as he regains it and turns around he is met with a vicious Combination of punches that David shepherd calls the hands of justice, he ends it with an uppercut and Calebdrops to his knees after taking the hard shot. David steps back and has Caleb pushes off his knees to get back to his feet David turns grabbing Caleb by the head and dropping down into the Ray of light! He pins.

ONE!

Justin: Here is your winner AND NEW SCW Internet champion.... Brother David Shepherd!

Simone: David Shepherd in our new Internet champion!

Adams: Caleb fought a good fight but just fell short.




Sinful Obsession. Team Hero. Jet City. London Underground. What do they all have in common? They were regular tag teams made up of family and friends. And they all were voted Tag Team of the Year. This year, history has been made as for the first time ever, a Lethal Lottery combination has won that honor. When "Queen Alicia" put her Wolfslair teammate Austin James Mercer and the rookie amazon Tempest together, the start of a dominant reign began. They won the World Mixed Tag Team Championship in their first outing as a team, and have remained unbeaten ever since. Such if their physical dominance together that SCW is literally having a terrible time finding them challengers! And not only have they become a cohesive unit, not only have they become friends, Tempest and Austin are 2021's Tag Team of the Year!




Marissa: I'm here with the members of Team Canada who tonight are defending their respective championships, first Earl and Dahlia let me start with the you, you are regarded as the greatest tag team in Sin City Wrestling history, and no many can doubt that, tonight you face Angel Of filth and Skag, who have never attacked you, some say out of respect, so say out of fear, your thoughts?

Earl: Filth and Skag are people who don't come across as people to have any respect for people, so maybe there is a little fear, but who really knows, tonight though Dahlia and I found out if they are capable of beating us.

Dahlia: Earl and I have been doing this a long time Marissa, and being together as long as we have we know what makes each of us tick, their have been a lot of teams who have stepped into a ring with us who thought they we're going to be the team to beat us, and most of them failed, tonight, as my husband stated, we see if Filth and Skag have what it takes to beat us, of if they wind up taking the losers pay.

Marissa: Excellent, now Stewart, tonight it's Warriors brawl for your Underground championship.

Stewart: Can you feel the energy here tonight, it's high stakes in Madison Square Garden, and I wouldn't have it any other way Marissa, seven of Sin City Wrestling's best, all trying to win what I have, either of them are quite capable of that, I admit that, but I haven't held this title for as long as I had backing down from any challenge, and I want them to bring everything they got, they know I will, and if I lose here tonight, I won't hang my head low, either of my opponents I have no doubt would carry the Sin City Wrestling Banner as high as I have, but they have to beat me first.

Marissa: Thank-you all for your time.




Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Pride Tag Team Championships! Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiintroducing first, the champions... From Edmonton, Alberta, they represent Team Canada, Earl Lockyer and Dahlia Rotten... The Threeeeeeeeeee Wayyyyyyyyy!!!

Earl and Dahlia step on the stage, Earl Kneels on the stage as Dahlia paces back and forth behind him, they walk to the ring Earl leaps from the floor to the ring apron, Dahlia slides under the ropes, Dahlia leans through the ropes with a smirk on her face as Earl leans over the ropes.

The lights go down as the whirring sounds begin to rise. The drums kick in and red lights pulse to them. They get louder as the fourth set kicks in and the curtains flip to the side. Angel of Filth comes crawling through them with her black wings fluttering behind her, covered in a black substance. Skag is walking behind her slowly, looking from side to side.

Darlyn: Aaaaaaaaaaand the challengers... On the way to the ring, she is "The Seraph of Sleaze"... Angel of Filth and Skag!!!

Her eyes glow white as the lights switch between black and red. She glares down at the ring as she rises to her feet, throwing her wings out to the side as they amast. She waves them slowly as she prances down the ramp to the beat of the music. She stops half way and looks from side to side. She has a sickening smile on her face as black oozes from her mouth and she laughs. She and Skag enter the ring and she climbs up the first of six turnbuckles. She throws her wings out as the fans boo her. She then drops down and goes to the other corner, doing the same. Once at the far end of the ring, she sheds her wings and kicks them to the outside as she rubs her hands together as she and Skag talk in the corner.

DING DING DING!

Chad: Earl and Skag start things off tonight with referee Ryan Richards. Skag teases Earl a little, but Earl lifts Skag up and Skag goes to lick his face, but Earl drops Skag with a Spinebuster! I think that was his way of saying the mind games won't work!

Gena: Earl picks Skag up and whips him into the ropes. As she comes back, he nails a second Spinebuster! He lifts Skag up once more and into a Military Press Slam. He hooks the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Chad: Filth kicks Earl in the side, with enough force to break the pin. Dahlia comes inside of the ring, and her and Filth go back and forth with punches. Filth might've bit off more than she could chew this time.

Gena: Dahlia pulls Filth into a tie up, and the referee threatens to disqualify them if they don't return to the outside. Dahlia hits a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, and then exits the ring.

Chad: Filth holds onto her back as she tries to get up. The referee shows some patience until Earl comes over to "help" Filth outside. He lifts her up, but Skag spins Earl around and slaps him across the face.

Gena: Earl goes for a right hook, but Skag ducks under and then kicks the back of his knee out. He then bounces off of the ropes and hits a Baseball Slide to his other leg, taking him down.

Chad: Filth claps for him as Dahlia rallies behind Earl. Skag stomps on Earl a few times. He then kneels over him and begins bashing his knees into is face.

Gena: Use em if you got em, right? After a few of these, Earl flips Skag over onto his back. He grabs hold of his hair and... begins bashing his knees into Skag's face instead.

Chad: He Leapfrogs over and wraps his legs around his neck. He repeatedly thumps him in the face with his ass! One! Two! Three! Four! Five! And she lets go, walking over to Filth, who is ready for the tag!

Gena: And Filth is in! We wait a moment for Earl to get the stink off of his face and wake up from the daze. He then walks over and tags in Dahlia, who can't help but chuckle a bit.

Chad: That chuckle disappears as Filth rushes at her, punches flying. She's ready for that get back from moments ago. She dazes Dahlia at first, but Dahlia clubs her across the back a few good times.

Gena: Dahlia lifts Filth up and then nails a Clothesline From Hell! She drops a knee to the chest of Filth, and then goes for the cover.

ONE!

Kickout!

Gena: Filth is determined. She rolls over onto her stomach, and Dahlia kneels down, locking in a Camel Clutch. Filth grabs for the ropes, but Dahlia uses her strength to ground her there.

Chad: Skag drops down and pulls Filth to the ropes, where she latches on. The referee calls for the break, and Dahlia obliges. She lifts Filth up, but Filth hits several quick Shin Kicks.

Gena: With Dahlia distracted, Filth is able to hit a Superkick to her face. She comes off of the ropes and nails a Dropkick that puts Dahlia on the ground. She sets Dahlia up for a Figure 4.

Chad: No! She sets her up into a Figure 8! Dahlia has nowhere to go, and Skag is trying to keep Earl at bay. Earl barrels right through Skag and breaks up the hold by pulling Filth off.

Gena: Filth turns around and hits an elbow right to the side of his head! She then shoves him toward his corner, telling him to obey the rules. Skag whips him into his corner.

Chad: Filth turns around and gets Speared to the ground by Dahlia. She then lifts her up into a Double Handed Chokeslam, dropping her to the mat with a cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!!

Chad: Filth gets the tag back to Skag, but Skag walks right up to the referee and nails him with an uppercut that sends him back into the ropes. He instantly calls for the bell...?

DING DING DING!

Darlyn: As a result of a disqualification, your winners and STILL PRIDE Tag Team Champions... The Three Way!!!

Earl looks confused, stunned, and even disappointed as he looks at Skag, rolling to the outside of the ring. Skag shouts at the referee in German as Filth joins him. "Menage et Trois" plays over the speakers as the Three Way help to guard the referee as Filth and Skag move to the back.




This year, the field in managers for SCW has spread out and become far more competitive than in year's past. With names such as Bea Barnhart, Mr. Chalmers and Brittany Williams in the running, one would have to rise above the rest in impressive fashion in order to impress the SCW Universe enough to win. That manager was Aron Baltasarsson. Aron continues to look after Fenris, not just as his manager, but also as his younger brother. He is completely in tune of the wants and needs of his flesh and blood, and perhaps that is what marks his as such an effective business manager. He is highly intelligent, and has proven himself willing and capable to throw himself into the proverbial fire against such opposition as Jack Washington and the Good Shepherds to help his older sibling when needed. A smart businessman, and a trained wrestler - this is why Aron Baltasarsson is the 2021 Manager of the Year!




Mikah is standing backstage in one of the many different hallways, preparing for her match against Danielle Weston by stretching and listening to whatever playlist she was favoring this week. She turns around to spot one of her favorite people, Despy down the length of the hallway.

Backstage in Madison Square Garden, there is currently a search afoot! And the one behind said search, none other than Despayre! The crowd watching from within the Garden's arena cheers like crazy at the sight of the popular little guy, who is holding Angel against his chest with one hand, and a pair of binoculars up to his eyes with the other. On his head, he is sporting one of those cheesy drink caps that has a straw attached to two cans in side holders, slurping a dark liquid which just HAS to be Cherry Coke as he is clearly looking around for something in particular.

He then turns around in a full circle search and sees an extreme close up of two eyes in the binoculars on the other end staring back at him!

Despayre: AHH!!!

He shrieks and jumps back, tumbling backward over the nearby sofa and toppling to the cushioned seats on the other side! One hand grips the sofa's back, then slowly the upper-half of his head and face peeks over the edge to look at Mikah!

Mikah: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, Despy.

She chuckles and wrinkles her nose a little bit. She tilts her head to the right a little bit, seeing the binoculars that Despy was holding before walking over to help him up and fix everything.

Mikah: May I ask what you're looking for?

She smiles kindly at him before placing her hands on her hips. Despayre looks left, then right. All the way down the hallway in both directions, then behind Mikah and being who she is and quite familiar with his antics, everywhere he looks, she plays along and looks as well. He then leans up on his knees and cups a hand over his mouth to whisper to her.

Despayre: The Garden!

He then sits back on the back of his feet and huffs.

Despayre: I have literally been everywhere in this place! Even the roof and boiler room and there is not a single flower to be seen nor heard!

Mikah presses her lips together, holding back a giggle as she looks at the young man. She looks around before shrugging her shoulders.

Mikah: I don't think I've ever seen the Garden either, now that I think of it.

She taps her right index finger against her lips before looking at Despy once more and showing him the patience that she pretty much only saves for him.

Mikah: Where do you think it could be?

She gives him a slightly innocent look.

Mikah: Actually . . . there's one place I've never looked for it....do you wanna know where that is?

Despayre nods with a wide eyed and eager innocence.

Despayre: I think that would be best! Because the next logical step is to contact my lawyer about suing whoever owns this place for false advertising!

Despayre then frowns in thought.

Despayre: Although -- he told me not to call him again after the last time I tried to sue the producers of the Neverending Story for the same. It DID end, you know.

She can't help but giggle at the thought of Despy calling a lawyer to sue movie producers. She leans in a little bit.

Mikah: I've been in this arena multiple times....and the one place that I've never been in or looked for The Garden...

She pauses as she looks at Despy to make sure that he was listening.

Mikah: Is the boss' office. The only place I've never looked.

A twinkle of mischief passes through her eyes momentarily.

Mikah: I'm sure that they're hiding the Garden from everybody and keeping it to themselves!

Despayre leans back and gasps!

Despayre: The NERVE of them! This can NOT be tolerated!

He jumps to his feet and holds a hand up, pointing at the ceiling!

Despayre: To the office!

And he takes off in a light jog down the hall, Mikah watching after him. A moment later, he jogs past her in the opposite direction.

Despayre: ... I knew that!

Mikah chuckles and shrugs her shoulders as she watches him jog off in the direction of bosses' office.

Mikah: That will be fun for both Mark and Christian to witness.




As Mac is making his way towards gorilla he is stopped by Holly Wood who has questions

Holly: Mac, if you don't mind...

Mac looks up, seeing her standing there with her crew and microphone at the ready, he nods

Mac: Sure thing, what's on your mind?

Holly: You've had a lot to say recently about the status of the company and a lack of fire in the competition.

he shrugs, looks briefly at his feet and then back up at her

Mac: I'm not wrong Holly, you take a look at any show produced this year. Things that happen during our show's and no one reacts to the situation. Not on social media and not during the following shows. It's really kind of pathetic, they'll react to breakups and shit that are outside this company but not to something like Fenris and I making sure that Artie didn't lose. That's okay though kids, tonight I'm going to light a fire under your collective asses.

Holly arches an eyebrow at the last statement

Holly: Would you care to elaborate on that?

Mac: Nope

Mac continues on towards the gorilla position as we return to the ring.




Jacob Summers is in the ring watching up the ramp as Justin brings the microphone to his lips for the introductions.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...

"Forever by Drake" begins to blast across the speakers and as it does Brayden Hilton along with his twin sister Brittany Williams emerge from behind the curtains. Brayden smiles as the crowd welcomes the siblings with an ovation of loud boos. He flips them off as he quickly sprints towards the ring. He doesn't hesitate to slide right inside the ring where he kips up to his feet. He holds his arm proudly in the air before he does a backflip. The crowd just continues booing and that is when Brittany begins to mouth off to them. She flips them off before she turns her attention to her brother inside of the ring and claps for him. He bounces around a bit before he lays down across the ropes showcasing that he is bored.

Justin: From Detroit Michigan, Brayden Hilton! And the first of his opponents...

Simone: Our first competitor in this fatal fourway looks ready to take on the three others that will be introduced next.

The opening for "No Good Bastards" by Tom MacDonald begins to play and the crowd is instantly on their feet cheering the big Texan. He stands there soaking it in and allowing their reaction to energize him as he stands on the stage. 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 ring steps 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 as the cheering reaches a crescendo.

Justin: From Port Arthur Texas, Mac Bane! The next competitor in this match...

Adams: Former champion Mac Bane is in the ring and the crowd is loving it.

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 six foot eight and weighing in at two hundred eighty 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 waiting for his opponent/staring down his opponent

Adams: A lot of former champions in this match tonight.

Simone: Interesting Jason...we have Senior Vinnie and Mac Bane and Brayden ready for this match and now we go to Justin to introduce the final participant

Justin: And their final opponent...

Simone: Here he comes.

Justin: From Manchester England, Miles Kasey!

"Firestarter" by The Prodigy starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. He bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand springboarding backwards into a superhero pose as the fans go crazy!

Simone: The fans in this arena love to see Miles.

Adams: Well all four men are in the ring and Jacob Summers is signalling for the bell.

DING DING DING!

All four men look at each other from their respective corners before Mac Bane moves out of the corner. Brayden smirks as he leans back if not intending to join Bane in the ring. Miles and Vinnie join Bane in the ring and the three look at each other as Brayden ignores them. Miles and Mac join forces and reach for Brayden to drag him out of the corner and toss him in the direction of Senor Vinnie who catches him with a hip toss that sends him across the ring. Vinnie waves him off and turns into a clothesline from Mac Bane as Miles rushes off the ropes and takes Bane down with a springboard roundhouse kick. Kipping back to his feet, Miles sees a lunging Vinnie and is able to avoid the contact of the spear attempt but not the spinning clothesline from Brayden Hilton. Vinnie gets to his hands and knees as Brayden turns to him. Vinnie is leaning on the ropes as Brayden charges and takes both men out of the ring with a crossbody over the top rope. In the ring, Mac and Miles lock up in a collar and elbow tie up that has Bane pushing Kasey into the corner. Mac begins to slam rights and lefts into the head of Miles who covers up and calls out to Summers who warns Bane to let him out. Bane holds up his hands and backs away only to have Brayden Hilton come up behind him and drop him with a superkick as the former champion turns.

Adams: And once again, chaos reigns in the ring and it is so difficult to call the balls and strikes Belinda.

Simone: You are mixing up sports Jason...focus.

Brayden drops quickly to pin Mac but only gets a one as Vinnie rolls into the ring and yanks him off Mac. Vinnie then drops to make the pin himself but Hilton pulls on his foot. The two men begin to argue as Bane rolls to the side where the ropes are and out of the ring. Seeing him on the outside, Miles Kasey climbs the turnbuckle then launches himself onto the body of Bane and both men go down on the outside. Vinnie manages to avoid Brayden throwing a right and flips him to the outside to take down the slowly rising Miles Kasey and Mac Bane. Vinnie turns around and then drops to roll out of the ring where all four men begin to throw hard punches as Summers begins to count all of them out of the ring. At five, Vinnie and Mac Bane begin to level Brayden with hard fists. Miles Kasey looks at the three then at Summers before rolling into the ring. The others see him standing there as Summers had continued to count. Vinnie rolls into the ring and he and Kasey lock up trading punches. Outside, Brayden climbs the ring stairs and launches himself at Bane who catches him and then slams him back first against the apron.

Simone: That is going to leave a mark Jason.

Hilton arches in pain as Mac tosses a leg up on the apron and then rolls into the ring slowly under the bottom rope. In the ring, Vinnie is getting the better of Miles Kasey and then grabs him by the back of the neck and sends him back to the outside between the ropes. Mac gets to his feet and he and Vinnie charge at each other. The two collide with a double clothesline that sends both men to the mat. Vinnie quickly rolls to his stomach as Mac Bane curls onto his side as both of them are breathing heavily on the mat. Brayden and Miles are climbing into the ring once more and getting to their feet. Brayden holds up his hands as Miles stalks towards him. Stopping, Kasey listens as Brayden suggests that the two of them work together to eliminate Vinnie and Mac then the two of them fight it out. Kasey nods slowly and the two young men each grab an opponent. Pushing them into opposite corners, Miles and Hilton look at each other and then begin to whip the two men at each other. Mac and Vinnie reverse the irish whip which sends Miles and Brayden at each other. Miles leapfrogs over Hilton and takes down Vinnie as Brayden hits a cross body on Bane. The two veterans quickly roll out of the ring as Miles charges after the downed Bane. Brayden smiles as he stalks towards Miles and the fans scream at Kasey who turns to see Brayden about to attack.

Adams: Great teamwork by both of those two right there. And Brayden making good on his promise that it will be down to those two.

Simone: But it looks like Miles isn't liking the fact that he was going to stab him in the back.

Brayden holds out his hand with a grin as he motions between the two of them that it was down to just them with Vinnie and Mac on the outside. Kasey nods as he sees Mac getting to his feet near the corner. Miles attempts to climb the turnbuckles but has his foot yanked out from under him by Brayden sending him face first into the turnbuckle. Hilton grabs the back of his head and then begins to slam it into the top turnbuckle as the crowd begins to count with him. Brayden hits six before he is grabbed from behind by Mac Bane who picks him up and then hits an atomic drop on Hilton that has him grabbing himself on the mat. Vinnie gets into the ring and is there to pull a sagging Miles Kasey up and locks on a sleeper hold that has Kasey swinging his arms wildly but begins to fade quickly. Bane moves to Brayden and then picks him up with a scoop then slams him to the mat. Brayden arches in pain as Mac drops with an elbow that drives the air from the body of Hilton. Miles Kasey is quick to grab Bane by the hair and pulls him off of Hilton who rolls over coughing and sputtering. Vinnie rolls into the ring and catches the legs of Brayden and rolls him over for a pin but Kasey kicks him on the back of the head to break it. Vinnie rolls away clutching at the back of his head. Miles turns to find Bane on his feet and charges towards him. Mac Bane catches him with a body slam onto the body of Brayden who is laid out. Summers looks like he is going to count the fall but Bane and Vinnie both kick at Kasey sending him rolling away. Brayden rolls to his stomach once more as Miles gets to his feet.

Simone: I don't know about you Jason but this match is really chaotic and looks like it is going to be anyones to win.

Mac Bane looks at all three men and then charges at Vinnie with his "Bar" that spears Vinnie off his feet and sends him rolling to the outside. Miles Kasey slowly pulls himself up by the ropes and Brayden gets to his hands and knees. Kasey climbs the turnbuckles and yells towards Bane who turns. Kasey launches himself from the top rope but Bane ducks under the attempt which has Miles landing on the mat. Clutching his midsection, he rolls and kicks at the canvas. Hilton moves over to him and taunting him like he is going to pin him but Mac turns him around and locks on his Snake Bite claw on Hilton who is screaming in pain. Using the claw, Bane clawslams Brayden on top of Miles Kasey. With both men having their shoulders to the mat, Bane drops and covers them as Summers makes the count.

Simone: Mac Bane is pinning both men!

ONE!

Adams: What a move for the former champion but will he be able to keep them down?

TWO!

Adams: I think we have have a winner here Belinda!

Simone: Vinnie is trying to get into the ring to stop the count but I don't think he will be fast enough.

THREE!

Adams: Mac Bane did it, he pinned two men to win tonight.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match, Mac Bane!

Vinnie looks dejected on the apron as Mac pushes himself off Kasey and Hilton to stand as Summers raises his arm in victory. Kasey rolls to the side and out of the ring as Brayden is checked on by medical staff.

Adams: Mac Bane has won the match and from the sounds of this crowd Belinda, he has won the hearts of the fans.

Simone: I think he already had that.

Mac continues to celebrate in the middle of the ring as the others slowly make their way backstage.

Adams: Huge win for Mac Bane!

The final bell has rung and Mac stands victorious as the new number one contender for the world heavyweight champion. "No Good Bastards" by Tom MacDonald plays as he celebrates the victory. He turns to say something to the referee but gets sprayed in the face by Bea Barnhart!

Adams: What the hell?

Simone: Why is Bea Barnhart here?

Mac stumbles around blindly and is finally able to grab the top rope to steady himself. Trying to blink away the substance as best as he can, a ring attendant is able to get a towel to him. Unknown to Mac, both Vinnie and Bill Barnhart have re-entered the ring.

Simone: Is Senor Vinnie and Bill Barnhart!

Bea has exited the ring, while Bill and Vinnie charge at Mac with a teaming clothesline to take the big man down. Vinnie continues the assault with mounted punches to the face, Mac does his best to cover up but to no avail. Meanwhile, Bill Barnhart pulls up the corner matting to expose the plywood underneath. He looks over at Vinnie who begins laughing and they move Bane into that corner on the exposed plywood.

Adams: This is not gonna be good for Mac.

Simone: What happened to the lights? We're in complete darkness here!

When the lights come back on, Bill and Vinnie no longer have the numbers advantage. They are surrounded, Three other men in the ring with Mac now.

Simone: WOW! Godly Ken Davison, Dominick Strife and The Supreme Machine are in the ring.

Adams: I didn't know Dominick Strife or The Supreme Machine worked here, I know there was rumours!

Simone: I'm gonna take a guess and say the rumours are true! What a coup!

The two men look at each other and then try to make a break for it. Supreme Machine catches Bill Barnhard as he tries to blow past him with his version of the black hole slam that he calls "Throttle and Mask"! As Vinnie tries to step away from Mac, he grabs the man's ankle causing him to trip into Sweet Chin Music from Dominick!" Neither Bill or Vinnie are moving and Bea on the outside is trying to hide behind the ring post as Mac regains his feet. Bane shakes the hand of each man and then they pose for the stunned crowd that is not even sure of how to react.

Simone: Mac looks like he's got evil intentions on his face.

Adams: And that is not good for anyone.

Mac looks back to the exposed plywood and immediately goes to where Vinnie had fallen, he drags him to his feet and points at the plywood. He makes a gesture with his hand that resembles a gun to Vinnie's head and places him in a side headlock. He hits the headlock driver on Vinnie, driving his skull into the exposed plywood while Suma, Ken and Dominick drag Bill back to his feet. Mac kicks Vinnie out of the ring, directing traffic with the other three. Ken and Dominick hop up on the turnbuckle, sitting and waiting. Mac motions to Suma giving him the thumbs up and then down motion. Mac and Suma both begin laughing as he drags Bill into position. Supreme Machine hoists Bill into an electric chair position, then he executes him with assistance from both Ken and Dominick to a spike version of the Joker Driver that he calls "Apex Ultima"!

"Oblivion" by Shinedown begins to play as the four men stand tall over the victims of the attack with a booing crowd and not a single one of them seems to care.

Adams: I am not sure what I've just seen here, but it looks like Mac Bane has brought together one hell of a force.

Simone: I think SCW need to sit up and take notice!




There are some critics who insist that the cheers of the fans have absolutely nothing to do with the success rate of a wrestler. That much is up for debate but there are many who could prove otherwise, and many who simply feed off the cheers, win or lose. The fun loving and naive Bombshell Candy is one such wrestler. No matter where Candy goes, she is always smiling and ready and willing to make those around her smile as well; whether they be a fan or a fellow wrestler. Inside of the ring, Candy's success rate speaks for itself, and outside? There are few who are as dedicated to their fans. Post-shows and at signings, Candy does not leave until each and every fan has been satisfied. Her dedication to the SCW Universe and the friends around her is why she is the Most Popular Wrestler of the Year!




High Stakes cuts to Myra Rivers backstage as she is making her final mental preparations for the Chamber of Xtreme match to come with Jessie Salco. She's got her new "Rebellious Vixen" ring gear going for her and there is no indication of nervousness or worrying coming from her at all. She's stretching out her arms a bit, throwing in some deep breaths in between, displaying an exceptional zen and focus that she not only hasn't shown in SCW until this moment, but also one that she hasn't shown in more than a decade. She manages to maintain it for the most part when one of her proteges, SCU wrestler Chelsea LeClair, walks in. Chelsea's presence surprises Myra as she stops with her stretching for the moment.

Chelsea: Hey...

Myra: Hey Chelsea, long time no see.

Chelsea extends her arms to Myra, further surprising her. But, with little hesitation, Myra and her former protege exchange a quick embrace.

Chelsea: I never thought I would see the day where the woman that mentored me would be at her best again. But, believe me, I am so glad to see it.

Myra: Thanks Chelsea. I didn't know that bringing back what made me so successful to begin with would strike that much of a chord with you considering that you weren't even all that interested in professional wrestling at first.

Chelsea: Well... I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I wasn't into professional wrestling as a teenager, true. But, considering Andrea would always make me watch wrestling with her here and there with how much she was into it, when I was in high school, I would watch quite a few wrestling companies with her and keep track of some wrestlers that I really liked. There was a handful that caught my eye. But, during my high school years, while I was busy being the most popular girl in school and a future prom queen, you were the "Rebellious Vixen", kicking ass, taking names and inspiring people to realize their dreams. It's a little awkward to admit this now considering the past that we share, but back then? I was one of those people you inspired. You were the one that caught my eye the most.

Myra initially acts with surprise to what she just heard, then she has a heartwarming feeling go through her as she's now feeling like she's touched.

Myra: I had no idea. I'm glad to hear that. I know that during that time in your life, you were living with a father who could care less about that... and you knew my story with me and mine. We truly are kindred spirits in that sense. I'm glad you told me this and it's a head spinning feeling, in a good way, to know that when I go back to the persona that made me successful to begin with, that I've got one of those people that I inspired telling me what you just said. In a full circle way, that inspires me to be at my best tonight. I know I am going to have to do my best tonight to shut Jessie up and to break her Chamber of Xtreme streak, but I really feel like there isn't anything that is going to stop me. Chelsea, I've spent my entire SCW career... up until that cheerleader segment two weeks ago... feeling like I was in a lot of pain...

Chelsea: Yeah?

Myra nods at this.

Myra: I had been burdening myself with my past. I had been dwelling so much on my screw ups from years ago and regretting some of my old failures and heartbreaks because I wouldn't let go of them and I kept wishing that the outcome was different: six months later, two years later, 5 years later, EIGHT years later... and for what? I was just dragging myself down being less than my best... and I didn't realize it until Violent Conduct. I had no idea that this was all sneaking up to me and that there was a lurking ghost that was about to catch up to me until it finally did in my battles with Amber. I allowed my psychological pain to bring me down SO much... and the reason why I was so blind to it was because I was spending 350 days as the Bombshells Internet Champion. There I was... allowing my own personal demons to hold me down and make me cry as I let them beat me down for failing against Amber twice... when I had won the Bombshells Internet Championship and held it for 350 days DESPITE that lurking ghost, DESPITE those personal demons, DESPITE myself.

Despite the fact that I was in THAT much psychological pain, I managed to pull off a 350 day title reign? Are you kidding me? I KNOW that shows how strong I am and I SEE that I have underestimated myself for way too long. That's what pulled me out of that darkness I had been living in for so long and got me back to being myself... back to being at my best... back to realizing what it takes to get to my destiny and where I want to go... that's why I am going into this match with Jessie tonight KNOWING that I am going to win and KNOWING that I am going to snap her chamber streak. It's like I've been saying for weeks Chelsea no more fears, no more tears.

I'm DONE crying and beating myself down! I DESERVE better than that. I've found myself again... at just the right time...

Jessie has no idea what she's dealing with...

Chelsea: No she doesn't... and I am SO glad to hear that! You DO deserve better than to beat yourself down like you were doing before. You DESERVE to be happy again! And as for Jessie? Yeah, you're going to shut her up. I heard what she was saying about you coming into this match, blowing up your loss to Roxi Johnson and acting as if it was this huge, massive setback for you and that you were suddenly on the decline or something and spinning it all into a narrative that isn't even close to reality... and it REALLY wanted to make me see you just... DESTROY HER! I can't stand people that do that. But, I know you've got this. I believe in you... and so do all the people that care about you and the fans that you had inspired before and will inspire again...

Myra returns a warm smile upon hearing this.

Myra: When this is all over? The only one that is going to be in pain is Jessie. Then? Once I am done with her? I'll get right back to chasing my destiny and my ultimate goal. There is no time better than tonight to be rebellious again... and to silence someone that doubts me. Something tells me Chelsea... that it's going to be the new normal for me going forward. Thank you for giving me that last dose of inspiration.

Chelsea: Always!

Myra and Chelsea exchange one more embrace before Chelsea leaves her to it. Myra's body language is showcasing some heightened confidence and self-inspiration as the scene cuts out.




The camera opens as we see the pictures of three well known Bombshells, Maki, Christina Rose and Evie Jordan in that order.

Jessie: A ring around the Roses.

A feminine hands reaches up and rips the picture of Christina Rose from the wall.

Jessie: A pocket full of Posses.

The same hand then grabs Maki's picture and yanks it from the wall.

Jessie: A tissue, a tissue.

Finally, the picture of Evie Jordan is removed from the wall and the camera pans over to show Jessie holding all three pictures in both hands.

Jessie: They all fell down.

In one swift motion Jessie rips all three pictures in half and throws them to her side, we then pan out to see that Jessie is surrounded by weapons.

Jessie: Christina Rose, Maki, Evie Jordan, on the surface those three women couldn't be more different, two former World Bombshell Champions and Maji, yet they all have one thing in common, they all failed to defeat me in the Chamber of Extreme!

Jessie then holds up a fourth picture, this one of her opponent tonight Myra Rivers.

Jessie: That brings me to tonight and my match against Myra Rivers who should at least prove to be the biggest challenge of the four, whilst she has never held the World Bombshell Championship her reign as Bombshell Internet Champion accomplished something that none of the three prior opponents could pull off, she not only broke the old records, but she also smashed them into the dust over a reign that lasted over three hundred days and through nine defences and yet.

Jessie produces a lighter from her jacket pocket.

Jessie: Many were left with a burning question. What if Jessie got a shot?

Jessie sets fire to the picture of Myra and the camera focuses on it burning for a good minute.

Jessie: Tonight Myra, that burning question gets a definitive answer, I still maintain that I would've ended your reign long before Amber Ryan decided she wanted a shot at you and tonight I will prove that in the Chamber of Extreme!

The picture burns up leaving only burnt paper before the camera pans over to Jessie who is now holding a baseball bat.

Jessie: Which leaves one question Myra, how will I beat you? Will I knock your head into the cheap seats for a homerun?

Jessie tosses the bat aside and picks up a barbed wire chair.

Jessie: Will I give you an uncomfortable reminder of your last match against Amber?

Jessie tosses the chair aside and goes off screen for a second before returning to the screen with a table and gasoline, Jessie sets the table up pours gasoline on it and leaves to get a fire extinguisher before holding up the lighter.

Jessie: Or do I take the phrase "burning question" too literally?

Jessie lights the lighter before tossing it on the table causing flames to erupt, she sets the fire burn for a few moments to get her point across before swiftly putting it out with the fire extinguisher.

Jessie: Pick your poison Myra, I'll see you in Hell.

Jessie walks off as the camera fixates on the burnt wood and the scene fades.




Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the CHAMBER OF EXTREME MATCH!

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.

Justin: From Miami, Florida, please welcome Jessie Salco!

Jessie posses 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 poses for the crowd again as the song fades.

Adams: Jessie Salco is going to be in her environment tonight!

Simone: She looks ready, and she is no stranger to taking it to the extreme!

"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. 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, reveling in the continued showering of love the crowd is raining upon her.

Adams: Myra Rivers has gone through a lot lately, and she's just in for one more test tonight.

Simone: Jessie challenged Myra to be better, and she's going to be put to the ultimate test in this match.

DING DING DING!

The bell sounds as Jessie instantly charges at Myra with her trash can and swing, but Myra ducks. Myra fires off a couple of right hands, staggering Jessie. Jessie lets go of the trash can and Myra kicks her in the mid-section, doubling Jessie over. Myra puts Jessie's head between her legs, perhaps looking for a powerbomb, but Jessie counters with a blow to the mid-section of her own. Myra staggers back, and Jessie goes to pick up the trash can again, but Myra runs in and kick the trash can into Jessie's face! Jessie falls back on the canvas as Myra picks up the can herself and when Jessie stands, she eats the trash can shot to the head!

Adams: And we're getting right into it!

Simone: And Jessie is already feeling the effects!

Myra looks at the dented trash can and already Jessie is busted open. Jessie tries to shake off the cobwebs as Myra heads outside and plucks a 10-foot-long chain from the cage. She re-enters the ring and wraps the chain around her fist, and swings, but Jessie ducks and takes Myra down with a neckbreaker! Jessie gets up and takes the chain, and wraps it around Myra's throat, strangling her with it!

Adams: Jessie is not showing any mercy!

Jessie pulls for all she's worth as Myra gasps for air, sneaking a finger in between the chain to get just a little room. With Jessie behind her, Myra charges backwards and squashes Jessie in the corner. Jessie lets go and Myra falls down to the mat and rolls out of the ring to get some much-needed air in her body. Jessie however is still on the attack and exits the ring, attacking Myra from behind and then tossing her into the cage wall! Myra rebounds and Jessie takes her down with a clothesline. Jessie then pulls Myra up by the hair and begins grinding her face into the cage wall, and then grating it against the cage, successfully busting Myra open in the process!

Adams: And now Myra is bleeding!

Simone: This one is getting ugly early!

Jessie finally stops grinding Myra's face into the mesh and she reaches on the cage for some kind of object. She pulls off a kendo stick, but does not get the chance to use it, as Myra attacks her from behind. Jessie stumbles forward and Myra grabs her by the hair and slams her face-first into the ring post. Jessie goes down as Myra now grabs the Kendo stick and she wallops Jessie across the back! She repeats the action 3 more times as the stick splinters on Jessie's back. She groans in pain as Myra pulls her up and rams her back-first into the ring apron. Jessie again yells as she falls to her knees. Myra picks up Jessie and tosses her into the ring, and grabs a steel chair off the cage.

Adams: And now the chair!

Myra re-enters the ring and brings the chair up over her head, and then smashes Jessie's back again, this time with the chair. Myra then unfolds the chair and sets it down in the ring. She pulls Jessie up, looking for a suplex, but Jessie blocks. Jessie fights out of the headlock and delivers a stiff knee to the mid-section before grabbing Myra's head and bringing her down face-first on the chair with a bulldog! Jessie makes the first cover of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

Myra kicks out.

Adams: Innovative offense from Jessie there!

Simone: This is her type of match!

Jessie slowly gets back to her feet, clutching her back. She spots the chain still in the ring and picks it up, wrapping it around her first and catching Myra with a shot to the head as she gets up. Jessie again covers.

ONE!

TWO!

Myra kicks out again.

Adams: This is just brutal right now.

Jessie begins looking around for other weapons, but keeps the chain in her hands, and draws it up, and then begins to WHIP Myra's back with the chain!

Adams: Myra is being lashed with a chain!

After 5 lashes, Jessie drops the chain, and continues her search for a suitable weapon. She heads outside and pulls a shovel off the cage wall and rolls back in with it. Jessie brings it over her head to nail Myra again, but Myra pops up with the chain in her hands and clotheslines Jessie with it!

Adams: And Myra is fighting back!

Simone: This is a fight for survival!

Myra clutches her back in pain, the red lash marks visible on her exposed skin. Jessie grabs her throat gasping for air, and Myra heads back over and grabs the same steel chair she grabbed earlier and folds it up and wallops Jessie in the back again! Myra then turns and heads towards the corner, and wedges the chair in between the top and middle rope. She goes back as Jessie is slowly makes her way to the opposite corner. Myra moves in and spins Jessie around in the corner, delivering a hard chop across her chest. Jessie howls in pain as Myra grabs her arm and fires her across the ring to the corner with the chair, and Jessie splats back-first into the chair!

Adams: Jessie's back is being tortured!

Jessie lingers in the corner, before collapsing, holding her back in pain. Myra walks over to her, yelling at her.

Myra: Be better?! Be better huh?!

Adams: Myra hasn't forgotten!

Myra motions for Jessie to get up, measuring her for an attack. Jessie grabs the ropes, holding her back in pain and slowly standing up in the corner, and Myra charges, but Jessie more or less collapses out of the way and Myra charges shoulder-first to the chair!

Adams: And Myra makes a big mistake there!

Myra goes down clutching her shoulder, and Jessie is on the floor still clutching her back. But, being the hardcore warrior she is, she gets back to her feet, shutting out the pain and getting back into the ring, she picks up the shovel from earlier and nails Myra across the back with it! She then stands over Myra as she stands to get up, and holding the shovel on each end and SNAPS IT ON HALF on Myra's back! Myra howls in pain as Jessie starts clearing that have been used weapons out of the ring. Jessie grabs the chair and un-wedges it from the corner and delivers another chair shot to Myra's back and then wearing out the chair on Myra's back! Jessie then places the chair on Myra's chest and points to the sky.

Adams: Jessie is looking for something big!

Simone: She's going to the top rope!

Jessie slowly exits the ring, still clutching her back. She slowly climbs the ropes and jumps up, flipping through the air and landing on Myra with a swanton bomb, smashing her back against Myra and the chair!

Adams: SWANTON BOMB!

Jessie howls in pain as she clutches her back, and after a few moments, crawls into the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR –MYRA ROLLS THE SHOULDER!

Adams: Myra somehow kicked out!

Jessie is frustrated, grimacing as she uses the chair to help her stand up. She begins looking around for more weapons to use, and then rolls out of the ring, a hand still holding her back. She reaches under the ring and pulls out a table.

Adams: Now Jessie is looking to finish this off!

Simone: Her back is killing her, but she's showing her grit right now!

Jessie struggles with the table due to her back hurting, but she does get it into the ring. She begins to roll in, but spots a bag still attached to the cage. She walks over to it and pulls it down and tosses it into the ring before gingerly getting into the ring. She begins setting up the table in the ring, and eventually gets it set up. Jessie then looks in the bag and a grin crosses her bloody, grimaced face as she dumps the contents onto the table: THUMBTACKS!

Adams: Oh no...!

Simone: As if this couldn't get any more brutal!

Jessie spreads them out as she goes over to Myra and pulls her to her feet. Myra starts fighting back with punches to the mid-section, but Jessie cuts her off with a knee. Jessie then hooks Myra's head and does a lasso motion, and runs up the ropes, looking for a big DDT!

Adams: DDT!

Simone: Countered!

Myra is able to overpower Jessie, and re-direct the DDT, and holds Jessie in the air, and then tosses her across the ring with an overhead suplex! Jessie lands on hard on her back and howls in pain. Jessie slowly stumbles up, and Myra kicks her in the mid-section and puts her head between her legs.

Adam: Oh no!

Myra lifts Jessie and backs up, and jumps up, DRIVING Jessie FACE-FIRST through the thumbtack covered table with the REBEL BOMB!

Adams: REBEL BOMB!

Simone: Through the table! Into the tacks!

Jessie is motionless, but Myra does not escape unscathed, thumbtacks in her back and arms. However, she is able to roll Jessie over and make cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER... MYRA RIVERS!

Adams: Myra Rivers picks up the win!

Simone: And she earned every inch she got in this match!

Myra is slowly cable to crawl away from all the carnage as her music plays. The cell is raised as medical personnel hit the ring to tend to both Myra and Jessie.




Andrea Hernandez made a bold prediction even before the nominations were announced, that she would be the Most Hated Wrestler, man or woman, is SCW! And she did face stiff competition from people such as the Troll, but when we are dealing with someone who derides the entirety of the roster, talks down about the championships it offers, and has continuously mistreated those around her INCLUDING former mentor Myra Rivers, there was little doubt that Andrea's prediction would come true. Her constant complaining and campaign ads rubbed many the wrong way, and her success rate inside of the ring is evidence enough that people hate a winner. And Andrea's winning ways show no signs of slowing down any time soon, and many are left wondering what is next for the 2021 Most Hated of the Year?




Goth can be seen backstage preparing for the mixed tag title match, he is gazing at the camera as he smiles

Goth: Just moments away for a possible new title reign, something that many out there thought I would not ever be able to get to. I just hope that it will be an educational night for two young stars and a moment for the two vets of me and Mercedes Vargas... It's a dream to be back in the ring on such a big stage and to show the world that you can never count hall of famers out.

With that Goth waves the camera to leave him




Backstage, the now two-time SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas graces our screen as backstage interviewer Ms. Rocky Mountains rolls up for an on-the-spot interview ahead of her match.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mercedes Vargas, first off, congratulations on making history tonight in your group induction with the Mean Girls, making you and Delia Darling the first ever two-time inductees in SCW.

Mercedes: Making history is what Mean Girls have done and we're the only stable in SCW still feared and remembered in this company. Being inducted tonight was an obvious choice, and I'm especially thrilled seeing Veronica, Liz, Holly, Amanda, and regrettably, Celeste, get the recognition they deserve. And, of course, you know that history is what Delia and I do, so not a bad night so far.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well, later on tonight, you and Goth will both have a chance on making more history when Goth attempts to become the third Superstar ever to win every championship in SCW and you having the opportunity to become the first Bombshell in history to win the World Mixed Tag Team Championship three times, not to mention becoming the first overall six-time tag team champion in SCW when including your three reigns with the World Bombshell Tag Team Championship in your career.

As Rocky mentioned this fact, Mercedes holds up six fingers.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: The thing is, you and Goth have to get by the reigning World Mixed Tag Team Champions, Austin James Mercer and Tempest, who are also undefeated and has held the World Mixed Tag Team Championship for over five months now. In the weeks leading up to tonight, Austin and Tempest have made this match about respect and see you and Goth as worthy challengers, but you feel differently. Why is that?

Mercedes: I think it's pretty much cut-and-dry why most people are leery when any member of Wolfslair throws out the respect card, Rocky. It's a nice little tactic that works for them and gives whoever their opponent a false sense of security. Except, that respect can only go so far and depends on whose is standing with their hand raised at the end. I may be wrong, but I doubt it. While I know Tempest isn't part of Wolfslair, she and Austin made a great sales pitch for our match. Goth or I aren't buying it, though.

Tempest was taught to emulate her parents and respect her elders when she was growing up in Hawaii, and that's a great value to have. Before this match, I was someone she really did look up to. I mean, I am the most decorated woman this company and women's division has ever seen so who wouldn't want to be like me? But there's something Tempest should know, or rather, she finally caught on to: I'm not a role model. I'm sorry, I'm just not. Just because I beat people up for a living doesn't mean I should be someone anyone should try and emulate. So, I want to apologize to Tempest for not living up to her standards. I want to apologize to her for not being the role model she idolized for a long time.

Mercedes raises her index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.

Mercedes: What I'm not going to apologize for is what I'm about to do tonight. Because I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm not contractually obligated to smile and give out handshakes if I don't want to. I'm not a role model. I'm a professional wrestler. But more importantly, I am the Champion of Champions.

She smiles, but the expression fades as she narrows her eyes and a serious again, a determined stance in her voice, a redemptive fire in her eyes.

Mercedes: Tempest is about to step in the ring with someone who shines under the bright lights and on the biggest stage. Tonight is about rewriting the record books one more time. I'm walking into this title match the same way I'm walking out, and that's with my head held high, my hand raised in victory, and my 13th championship in Sin City Wrestling.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: In regards to you, given that few women has defeated Tempest and the fact that she defeated you just two weeks ago at the Halloween special at Climax Control, is it fair to say that you may have your work cut out for you tonight?

Mercedes: Pretty sure that's a definite yes, Rocky. This is just another obstacle on just another day. And who knows if the outcome of tonight might come down between Tempest and I? I know what I'm going to be in for. There's no way I'm going to suplex a 200-plus pound woman, much less simply try to take her off her feet. That's just not going to happen. To defeat Tempest, I'm going to find a way, not a way out. I always do. But to your point, I live for moments like these. And while a lot has changed in the Bombshells Division, one thing has remained the same: when I challenge for the World Mixed Tag Team Championship, I win.

Mercedes holds up two fingers, signifying her success rate the two times she walked out as champion in her first attempts.

Mercedes: With Goth by my side, that spells bad news for Tempest and Austin. Long before they knew and long after they'll remember.




Justin: The following match is for the World Mixed Tag Team Championships. Introducing first the challengers...

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

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

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

Justin: And her tag team partner... from Utrecht, the Netherlands... GOOOOOTTTTHHH.

Darkside blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring, he is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira, who is wearing her usual Goth dress. Goth stops halfway the entrance way and stares at the crowd who are booing the owner of the AWA who grins and walks further on. In the ring he lets Sapphira take off his robe and he stares down the runway awaiting his opponents.

Justin: And now... one half of the WORLD MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

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 introducing from Manhattan, New York... weighing in at two hundred and sixty-five pounds... AUSTIN JAMES MERCER!!!!

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

Adams: Tempest still delivers me nightmares on a silver platter.

Simone: So, what I'm hearing is you would like a life sized cut out from Christmas?

All four competitors are in the center of the ring, Austin, and Tempest hand over their championships to Drew who shows them off to the crowd before handing them to Justin. Austin and Goth move to the outside as Tempest shoves herself towards Mercedes signaling that she wants to start this match up.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Here we GO!

Tempest comes rushing towards Mercedes and the two collide in the center of the ring. Mercedes tries to duck for cover from Tempest's flying hands, but she is out of luck as Tempest grabs a hold of her shoulders and lifts her from the canvas with ease, before tossing her to the canvas as if she were a ragdoll.

Simone: Well, that's one way to start the match.

Mercedes doesn't stay down, she makes her way back towards Tempest rushing in before dropping to the canvas to baseball slide her feet into Tempest heels. Tempest doesn't move but Mercedes starts to kick her feet as her ankles before kicking up higher and jarring Tempest's right knee. Tempest slightly drops and Mercedes gets back to her feet and tangles her arms around Tempest's neck, looking for a bulldog take down.

Adams: If this works, it will be the first time in a long time Tempest has hit the canvas this early in a match.

As Mercedes runs, Tempest doesn't budge. The two-time hall of famers grits her teeth and with a rush of power she tries again yanking on the head of Tempest. Tempest reaches up and wraps her arms around Mercedes midsection, strangling the wind out of her. Within a matter of seconds Tempest has Mercedes off her feet and slamming down to the canvas with a sidewalk slam. Tempest hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Mercedes fires a shoulder up off the canvas, keeping this match alive. Tempest gets back to her feet dragging Mercedes up by the hair before she sends her running towards the ropes. Mercedes hits the ropes and as she rebounds Tempest uses her body like a barricade. Mercedes slams against it with force bringing her down to her knees. Dragging her by her hair to the center of the ring, Tempest lifts Mercedes up before she hoists her above her body in a vertical Suplex the crowd starts to count away the seconds of airtime Mercedes is enduring, reaching twenty before Tempest slams her down to the canvas. Once again, she hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Mercedes kicks out, saving her team from a loss. Goth is trying to rallying Mercedes on, but he has his hands outstretched looking for a tag. Getting back up to her feet Tempest approaches Goth and snarls at him, before launching forwards as if to knock him off the apron.

Adams: FLYING MERCEDES!

As Tempest was busy sizing Goth up Mercedes comes crashing in with a high drop kick, sending one half of the mixed tag team champions into the ropes. Tempest bounces off them and Mercedes delivers a stiff back breaker. Mercedes rolls Tempest up as much as she can looking to win the mixed tag team championships.

Simone: Smart move by Mercedes.

Adams: I think she just saved Goth from experiencing the same nightmares that I have.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Tempest powers out and it back on her knees. Mercedes drives her elbow into the face of Tempest for her troubles before she gets up and drives her knee into the side of Tempest face for good measure.

Simone: Mercedes needs to keep on the attack.

Mercedes drivers her knee into the side of Tempest face over and over again trying to get her to hit the canvas. In frustration Mercedes slaps her right hand across the side of Tempest's face causing the champion to reach up with her right hand and wrap her fingers around Mercedes throat. Mercedes hands come up to try and pry Tempest's fingers away but it's no use. Tempest is now back up to her feet she pushes Mercedes into the ropes but it's in her corner and Goth tags himself in.

Adams: An error made by the champion.

Simone: Goth is now the legal man.

Goth steps into the ring and Austin has already made his way across the canvas to greet him. The two giants collide with matching big boots. Both hit the canvas. Tempest is still choking Mercedes in the ring and Drew is warning her to get out. Tempest raises Mercedes up with her one hand and drops her to the outside of the ring to the floor with a sickening thud.

Simone: That was uncalled for.

Adams: We need someone to check on Mercedes that looked brutal.

Drew is able to get Tempest to stepped out of the ring, however meanwhile Goth had managed to roll Austin up. Drew skids across the canvas to make the count.

ONE!

TWO!

Goth gets a hold of the tights and Drew sees and he stops the count. Goth is livid as he starts to shout towards Drew. Austin is back up and with Goth's back turned he drives his shoulder into Goth's back. Goth falls forwards into the ropes and Austin yanks Goth back towards him wraps his arms around his midsection and sends him to the canvas with a belly to back Suplex. Austin hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Goth kicks out.

Adams: So many close calls Belinda. It's anyone's game here tonight.

Goth springs to his feet and the two rush one another again but this time Goth gets the upper hand as he drives himself forward before slapping Austin to the canvas with a spine buster.

Simone: Vintage Goth. He's like a cat at times.

Adams: Got the same number of lives as one also.

Goth drags Austin back up to his feet, but Austin slaps his hands away before driving his forearms across Goth's chest with a deafening knife edge chop. The crowd gasp at the sound, but Goth doesn't stumble he just returns the favor and soon enough both giants are going back and forth is a chop off. The red blistered skin of their chest shows that neither one of them are holding back. Austin grows tired of the back and forth and he smashes his head into Goth with a cracking headbutt.

Adams: I got a headache just listening to that.

Simone: Austin's chest is going to need some aloe. And all the females in the audience just volunteered as tribute.

Goth stumbles backwards into the ropes and he comes back in collecting Austin with a spear. The two now wrestle on the canvas exchanging left and rights as Goth tries to drive his knee into the gut of Austin. The champion rolls out of the way. Goth is back to his feet, and he is rushing towards the ropes looking to come flying in with a lion sault but Austin lifts his knees up. Goth catches them and grabs at his midsection gasping for air. Austin rolls him up.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Goth kicks out keeping this match alive.

Adams: Told you. He's a cat.

Both men are back to their feet and Goth rushes towards the champion he spins his leg around looking to collect him with a spinning heel kick but Austin ducks. Goth takes a step back and walks straight into a Madison Square Garden worthy POP UP POWERBOMB. Goth's body bounces off the canvas and Austin hooks the leg.

Adams: A LEGECY BOMB.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are you winners AND STILL World Mixed Tag Team Champions... Austin James Mercer and TEMPEST!!

Tempest makes her way back into the ring with their belts and wastes no time lifting Austin's hand in victory.




From the moment Myra Rivers challenged World Champion Amber Ryan inside of the ghastly Exploding Barbed Wire Death match at Violent Conduct VII, it was all but obvious: the Match of the Year had just been decided! It was one of the most awe-inspiring, white knuckle matches SCW had ever seen! And the fact that it involved random explosions, razor sharp barbed wire, and two of the absolute best Bombshells in SCW history? Myra Rivers and Amber Ryan both fought until literally their bodies could fight no more. Only one woman stood tall when all was said and done. Amber Ryan may have kept her championship, but she and Myra Rivers BOTH won the hearts of the SCW Universe with their performance in the 2021 Match of the Year!




The arena fades to black before a mashup of Shakin' Hands by Nickelback, Dirty Little Girl by Burn Halo, and Bad Bitch by BeBe Rexha feat. Ty $ign begins to play and the arena then flashes with different shades of turquoise lights a few times. After a few seconds, the platinum blonde Hall of Famer, Mikah shows up on the stage with a microphone in her hand. She is met with mostly cheers from her hometown. She was already in her ring attire for the night and had chosen the colors of turquoise and orange; the main part being turquoise and outlined in orange. On her right thigh where her garter sits, there's a KR charm hidden in it.

Mikah: I wasn't going to come out here before my match but I figured the wonderful people of New York City deserved better than that.

The fans cheer again for her.

Mikah: And I feel the need to...

She hesitates and thinks for a second before smirking.

Mikah: To clear the air about some things that the whiny little wannabe bitch I'm facing tonight said

The fans cheer again at her words, causing her to smirk a little.

Mikah: She wants to say that I'm a spotlight hogging...

Mikah frowns trying to remember the term.

Mikah: I'm not sure what term she used but I'm sure it was similar to what Americans would call a slut. If I'm wrong, oh well, nobody cares.

Mikah shakes her head.

Mikah: But you tell me how I'm a spotlight hogging whatever when I took myself out of the equation and was quite happy with living my life in Hawaii? Or is it just sour grapes because I didn't respond to her challenge the first week she attempted to get my attention?

The fans cheer again.

Mikah: I haven't been in the spotlight for a long time and honestly? I didn't mind being removed from the spotlight. I was enjoying my retired life in Hawaii. But she wanted this match. She asked for this match and she brought me back into the spotlight. So if she wants to complain that I'm hogging the spotlight? That's her own fault. She could have chosen somebody else to challenge.

Mikah smirks.

Mikah: But that wouldn't get her the recognition that she so desperately wants.

Mikah fake pouts out her bottom lip for a second.

Mikah: Now let's get to the real reason I came out here....

She smirks a little bit to herself.

Mikah: Dani seemed VERY concerned with my relationship status and who I currently share a bed with. She even brought up my ex-husband, Drake Green.

The fans cheer at the mention of SCW Hall of Famer, Drake Green's name.

Mikah: I wonder if she's aware that my personal life has absolutely no fucking affect on my in-ring ability. Do you think that I would have been the Bombshell Champion for practically nine months if my personal life affected my in-ring ability?! Because if it did, you can bet your whiny, entitled little self that I wouldn't have been the champion for as long as I did when I was married to the man I was married to at the time.

She rolls her eyes.

Mikah: And trust me, he was not a good person and it was not a good marriage. If I had let my marriage to that loser affect my in-ring ability, I would not have been the champion for that long. So you can bet your whiny ass that my relationship with the freshly inducted Hall of Famer, Kristopher Ryans isn't going to affect me in the ring.

She smirks again, the fans cheering.

Mikah: I want that to sink in to everybody that wants to bring my personal life up and use it against me or even use it against him. No matter who I am fucking or dating, it does NOT matter in the ring because I'm going to do what I always do in the ring and remind you that my personal life has NO business being in that ring. So all of you worried about who I'm sleeping with and dating, can fuck right off.

Mikah smirks again, shrugging her shoulders not caring how much she had to pay in terms of money for dropping the f bomb on television.

Mikah: Our match is coming up later tonight, Danielle. And it doesn't matter if I win or lose because I'm still going to be the best fucking Bombshell there's ever been. One loss to a whiny little bitch isn't going to change that.

Mikah winks at the crowd as they pop with cheers again.

Mikah: Anyways, I have a freshly inducted Hall of Famer to go see. See you all soon!

She winks at the camera before disappearing backstage.




Backstage just outside of the locker room area, we spot four referees, all in Sin City Underground referee attire. We see Jade Pham, Constance Salazar, Dylan Roberts, and Senior Referee Ryan Richards. They are all talking frantically at the same time to interim GM Gianni Di Luca, who is struggling to maintain order. Finally, he shouts out loud to quiet them down.

Gianni: GUYS!!!

There is a few seconds of quiet before Dylan Roberst speaks up.

Dylan: Tonight was the last straw. I hardly have limits, but they were pushed tonight.

Jade: I'm the fucking referee for the GRIME Division. I can put up with a lot, but I'm tired of this.

Constance: We ain't the kinda folks who sit around and complain all day. We've all been hit, shoved, knocked out at one point or another, but this is different.

Gianni nods as he listens to each of them.

Gianni: Look, I hear whatcha sayin', and I understand. I ain't so pleased about this myself.

Ryan: Then do something about it!

Gianni: It's a delicate situation. Now, if you'll give me just a minute to think...

Ryan: What is there to think about? I am the senior referee for SCU, and I speak for everyone when I say that we're about ready to strike.

Gianni clenches his jaw and he begins to rub his temples. However, it isn't long before someone else is heard approaching the situation, causing the commotion to stir back up once again. Everyone speaks at the same time.

Tad: Well hello to you too. It's nice to see you again. Ryan, how is Sam?

Ryan: Now is not the time for small talk. Do you realize that your referee team is about to walk out when you still have two gigantic matches left on the card? Do something about this!

Tad: Skag will receive a fine for abusing a referee. As a matter of fact, we will be retroactive to the first incident. Four fines.

Ryan's jaw hangs open as he hears this, and then he shakes his head.

Ryan: That's not good enough! Not even close. Is that acceptable, guys?

The other three referees talk loudly over one another once again as Ryan folds his arms across his chest, looking right at Tad. Tad looks at Gianni who shrugs as if to say "It's your problem now." Tad holds a hand up.

Tad: First of all, we can and will replace each of you if this is not the right environment for you. So, threatening to walk out is a non-issue for me. I will not be bullied. However, anyone who works under my oversight will not be bullied either. I will be suspending Skag without pay, banning him from competition. However, he is part of a big movement in the tag divisions, and honestly, we can't afford to lose that momentum. So, with that said, I'm prepared to allow at least 100 feet protection orders on the premises, banning him from ringside while you guys do your jobs, without fear. Is this something we can agree upon?

Ryan looks over to his wary team of referees. They huddle up and discuss it, while Gianni appreciates Tad's solution. After a moment of discussion, Ryan nods and shakes hands with Tad. Tad smiles wide.

Ryan: One slip up, and we're walking. Understand?

Tad: And there will be a nice severance package waiting for you if that's what you feel best.

With that, the referee teams walks off, still a bit suspect of what's going on. Tad looks to Gianni and pats him on the shoulder.

Tad: Now that is how conflict resolution is done, my friend.

Tad walks off, leaving Gianni to stand there.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall and is a special challenge match... introducing first...

The cameras scan back to ring side while the lighting in the arena dims down to nothing. In the background a techno bass drum solo comes to life on the personal address system, before an array of bright coloured lights start flickering sporadically. "I'm laid back, I'm feeling this" sounds, alerting the crowd to the beginning of let's get ridiculous by Red Foo. As the arena comes to life with a night club vibe the lighting at the top of the ramp picks up. The lighting picks up the movement of the black curtains being pushed to the side and out walks two large muscular men. The men are dressed only in a pair of white shiny pants, while their shoes are made out to be horse hooves on top of their heads in a large Unicorn head hiding their identity. As the two shirtless giants make their way onto the stage, it's brought to everyone attention that they are each dragging a long thick piece of white rope. As the two men continue down the walkway, the item that they are pulling finally pops out from behind the curtain.

Justin: Making her way to the ring, weighing in at one hundred and twenty nine pounds, from St. Helena California she is Sin City Wrestling's Little Miss Sunshine Meeeeeellloooody Grrraaaaacee!!!

The fans come to life with cheers as now on top of the stage Melody is seen sitting on top of a carnival ride. She's seated on a large white Unicorn who is sliding up and down a golden pole; similar to a merry go round. Sitting side saddle in-between the wings of the unicorn Pegasus Melody starts waving adoringly to her fans, who are cheering her on. The two giant men drag the Carnival ride to the middle of the ramp way before each setting down their ropes and making their way towards the moving horned horse. Both men reach up and grab onto Melody's delicate figure and help her down from the unicorn. Giving each of the boys a firm hug the bubbly blonde takes off towards the ring slapping the fans hands along her way. While the men drag her noble steed back up the ramp, Melody finally reaches the ring steps that she quickly runs up. Walking along the ring apron giving the fans a little shake of her tail feathers before stepping over the middle rope Mel enters the ring. Making her way around the six sided ring Melody is waving wildly at the fans, while dancing unable to contain her excitement. As her theme dies down of the personal address system Melody makes her way over to her corner and takes off her furry hood making sure that she puts it down gently.

Justin: and her opponent... hailing from London, England... Kate Steele....

Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.

The ref moves in and checks both women for weapons before indicating for the bell to ring...

DING DING DING!

As soon as the bell rings Grace and Steele move in and shake hands, they back up for a moment and stretch before moving back in, where they lock up in centre of the ring and jockey for position, as the move around the ring with both trying to get the upper hand but neither do until they are in the centre of the ring and Steele drops to a knee and drags Grace down to the mat before adjusting her hold into an arm bar/wristlock, which Grace instantly fights back and doesn't allow Steele to fully lock in the arm bar/wristlock and folds her arm towards herself before rolling backwards and countering Steele's hold and locks in a armlock on Steele before making her way to her feet.

Simone: Good show of respect between Grace and Steele as the fans applaud this as well. It's great to see Grace back.

Adams: The show of respect will only go so far in this match. As we see Melody and Kate lock up and jockey for position. But Steele looks to make a point early on as she drags Grace down to the mat, but Grace doesn't allow Steele to progress, and she counters the move onto Steele.

Steele, however, grabs her own wrist and she and Grace battle between staying out of the wrist lock and locking in a wrist lock. They take a few moments before Steele twists and turns and up and under and counters into a hammerlock before adjusting once more and locks in a headlock onto Grace. Grace, however, takes a moment before grabbing Steele's wrists and begins to push upwards and this gives Grace an opening to counter into a headlock of her own, where she cranks on it but Steele has other plans and she pushes Grace away into the ropes and as Grace comes back she shoulder blocks Steele and sends her down to the mat.

Adams: Steele tries to escape the wrist lock and they have a mini battle to see who escape first and it's Steele who escapes first and she locks in a hammerlock before transitioning into a headlock.

Simone: Grace is taking her time to get back into this match. Maybe it's being away from the ring for a long period of time.

Adams: I think she is doing just fine for this early exchange with Steele.

Grace smirks at Steele, as Steele looks up at Grace and glares at her before Grace turns and bounces off the ropes but Steele flattens herself down to the mat and Grace leaps over her and bounces of the ropes opposite, as she comes back Steele is back to her feet and leaps over Grace and Grace bounces off the ropes on the other side of the ring before Steele drops down to her back and rolls over as Grace leaps over Steele as they both then get to their feet and rush towards each other before Grace directs Steele towards the ropes and as Steele comes back she tries for a arm drag but Steele shifts her weight a little and lands on her feet and she counters and drags Grace down to the mat.

Simone: Nice shoulder block from Grace, which doesn't impress Steele too much and Grace goes to up the speed of the match as it's in her favour and it goes well for a short while, but she tries to go for a arm drag on Steele but Steele blocks and sends Grace down to the mat.

Steele is first to her feet, as Grace is a bit slower to her feet as Steele approaches and hits an arm drag on Grace, but she doesn't release and locks in an arm bar and pins Grace to the mat and places a knee on her head to keep her still. Grace kicks her legs about before using her free arm pushes Steele's knee off her head, which Steele adjust her stance to be on a single knee, but it's only brief as Steele return the knee and pushes down, which Grace grimaces in pain. She kicks her legs about a little, as she then pushes Steele's knee off her head again but this time she begins to move and gets to her feet as Steele tries to keep the arm bar locked in but is struggling to do so and Grace grabs Steele and throws her down to the mat.

Adams: It was a brief comeback from Grace, but Steele sends her back down to the mat with another arm drag but this time keep her down on the mat.

Simone: Grace battles back and she gets back to her feet and she drives Steele down to the mat hard. Bit hit and miss so far in Grace's return.

Grace takes a moment and holds her arm as Steele rolls away holding her head. Grace moves back in and drops to her knees and drags Steele backwards and then goes for a pin...

ONE!

Kickout!

Steele kicks out as she tries to crawl away but Grace climbs to her feet and moves to Steele and grabs her and pulls her up and then whips her across the ring with force, which Grace drops to the mat and Steele hits the corner turnbuckle hard chest first and drops to her knees, as Grace is quickly back to her feet and moves to the ropes and then rushes forward and catches Steele with a boot to the face. Steele collapses sideways before Grace grabs Steele hand and drags her to the centre of the ring and then drops down and goes for a cover...

Adams: Grace goes for a cover but only gets a one count. But Grace isn't done, and she grabs Steele pulling her up and sends her into the turnbuckle before following up with a facewash boot before dragging Steele away from the corner and goes for another cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Steele kicks out, which Grace looks to the ref before climbing off Steele as Steele sits up as he holds her face, however, Grace is quickly back on her and holds her still before dropping to a knee has hits a forearm shot to Steele's back, Steele tries to crawl away, but Grace watches and she leaps up and bring a foot down across Steele's back. Steele winces in pain as Grace drops down and rolls Steele onto her back and goes for another cover...

Simone: Steele kicks out again, which Grace looks to the ref, but nothing is said as she climbs to her feet and proper Steele up and drives a forearm into her back. Steele goes to crawl away, which is a mistake and Grace bring a foot down across Steele's back before attempting another pin...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Grace shakes her head before moving back a little as Steele sits up and holds her back. Grace crawls over to Steele and grabs her and locks in a headlock, Steele right away grabs at Grace's hands as she tries to break her grip with little luck, however, she begins to twist and turn using her legs and she gets to a knee, which forces Grace to adjust and Steele continues to battle and she slowly gets to her feet, which forces Grace up to her feet and Steele drives a couple of elbows into Grace's torso, who releases her hold, which Steele turns and responds with a kick to Grace's thigh before following up with a pele kick. Grace stumbles backwards into the corner and Steele quickly climbs to her feet and rushes towards Grace and hits a corner yakuza kick.

Adams: Steele kicks again, but Grace isn't too bothered by it and she moves on and grabs Steele and locks in a headlock, but Steele is quick to battle out of the headlock and she follows up with a kick to her thigh before hitting a pele kick.

Steele steps back and drags Grace down to the mat and goes for a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

Th... kickout!

Simone: Steele goes for the yakuza kick and then a pin but Grace kicks out. How?

Steele looks at the ref shocked as she queries with the ref, but the re sef says that Grace kicked out. Steele lets out a heavy breath before attempting to go for another pin attempts.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Steele grits her teeth, as she turns and grabs Grace and rolls her onto her stomach, where she manoeuvres herself to try for the Shipwrecked (Becky Lynch's Disarmher) Seated Fujiwara Armbar, but Grace senses what is about to happen and she quickly moves her feet around and in turn her body and she reaches the ropes and drops a leg on the bottom rope. The ref moves in and tells Steele to release the attempted hold, which she does. Grace rolls closer to the ropes, as Steele rolls away and to her feet as she looks at Grace. Not waiting for Grace, Steele moves to her and grabs her by the hair and drags her up to her feet, but Grace responds by grabbing Steele and hitting a jawbreaker.

Adams: Grace kicks out again as Steele looks to totally finish this match with the Shipwrecked but Grace isn't totally out of it and she quickly wriggles free. But Steele doesn't give Grace a break and she moves to Grace and pulls her up but Grace catches Steele with a jawbreaker.

Steele stumbles away holding her face, as Grace shakes off the yakuza kick and pele kick the best she can and she climbs to her feet and she rushes in and hitting a dropkick, which Steele stumbles forward into the ropes and as she stumbles backwards, Grace leaps up and hits a double knee backbreaker. Steele rolls away holding her back as Grace climbs to her feet and moves to Steele where she grabs Steele and pulls her up, she hits a European uppercut and as Steele drops down to the mat. Grace grabs Steele and drags her to the corner and Grace climbs the ropes and hits the MellyPOP (Spilt Legged Corkscrew Moonsault)

Simone: Grace maybe still feeling the effects of the kicks but Steele isn't capitalising on it and it appears she is trouble here.

Adams: MellyPop... Steele I think is done.

She then goes for a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Simone: and she is.

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Melody Grace.

Adams: Welcome back to Sin City Wrestling Melody Grace.

Grace's music hits over the p.a as she climbs to her feet and slowly makes her way to feet, where the ref raises her arm in victory as she turns to look at Steele and shrugs.




Storylines and feuds are as important a part of the sport of pro wrestling as the wrestling itself. And through the years, we have seen many a feud ignite for many a reason, and never is it more personal than when family is involved. When Austin James Mercer made the fateful decision to send a message to Fenris by attacking his little brother Aron in a brutal and heinous backstage altercation, Austin had no idea just what exactly he would unleash! Aron is well-liked and respected backstage and this action drew the ire of more than just Fenris himself. But then Fenris got a pound of flesh back in an attack that disturbed even his closest friends, putting Austin on the shelf for several weeks before ultimately, he was forced to meet Fenris inside of the Lion's Den! A second attack on Aron only made the heat between the two become a raging inferno, and that hatred and desire to protect one's flesh and blood allowed Fenris versus Austin James Mercer to just narrowly beat out Amber Ryan vs Myra Rivers for the 2021 Match of the Year!




SCU Underground Champion Cordelia Clark is walking along the hallway carrying her championship. She's as confident as she typically is, even with the big stage that is in front of her. She spots the cameras and once she does so, she smirks and dusts herself off. She delivers a confident scoff as she begins to express her thoughts.

Cordelia: High Stakes. The biggest show of the year. That alone speaks for itself and hell, I have a strong history at High Stakes. After all, it was just last year when I went out and I defeated Angel Kash to become the SCU Television Champion. Okay, yeah, 'shenanigans' but still. I have only gotten better. I have become the most dominant SCU wrestler over the last year and a half. Nobody has been able to touch me. Sure, there were some recent pitfalls with Ariana Angelos and with the whole GRIME tag team championship nonsense. However, every single obstacle or every single setback has been thrown my way, I have been able to overcome them. Helena Jeckel? Pfft. I'm not worried about her whatsoever. I did beat her in that triple threat a while back to retain my championship when it seemed like my title was in danger and when the powers that be wanted to stack the deck against me. So beating her one on one? That shouldn't be a problem. What exactly has she shown to prove herself as a viable contender?

Voice: I KNOW RIGHT?

Cordelia is caught off guard by the sudden appearance of her sister, Morgan Clark. Morgan, unlike Cordelia, is coming into this completely differently. While Cordelia is confidently smirking, Morgan is angrily seething.

Morgan: Sis, I think you and I can both agree that ever since you won that SCU Underground Championship, that by and large, the competition that you have defended that championship against has been completely repetitive, with most of your challengers being random challengers that didn't do a damn thing to earn it. For example, your opponent tonight: Helena Jeckel.

Cordelia: Right. I have no qualms about agreeing with that.

Morgan: So my question is, why do you continue to put up with the same old, same old?

Cordelia begins to express some confusion on her face at this point.

Morgan: You complain so much about the same old same old, and yet aside from actually beating them in the ring, you don't do much about it. Lay out an open challenge. Call out someone from the SCW roster. SOMETHING! I mean seriously Cordy, you might as well start making some open challenges for SCW wrestlers to try and come down to face you because you have proven for the year and a half that you have been here that NOBODY in SCU matches up to you. Hell, I think your recent loss to Ariana Angelos may have been complacency due to boredom, honestly...

Cordelia's eyes begin to narrow with anger as she is not amused by this at all.

Morgan: Actually, I should correct myself. There is ONE person in SCU that matches up to you... the one person and one potential challenger that has been overlooked the entire time... the one that HAS been making waves more than HALF of the pre-show card of High Stakes and yet... ISN'T WRESTLING TONIGHT AT ALL! WHAT A LOAD OF FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!

Cordelia: Language...

Morgan: Sorry. Yeah, it's frustrating...

Cordelia: Oh god, you're referring to yourself aren't you?

Morgan: Of COURSE I am!

Cordelia rolls her eyes with annoyance.

Cordelia: Not THIS again...

Morgan: I'm just calling it like I see it.

Cordelia: Morgan, this is High Stakes and I am defending the top championship in SCU. I've proven that I am the biggest star of this company. I have proven that I am THE most dominant wrestler that has ever hit Sin City Underground. I get to punctualize that for good with a win over Helena Jeckel. This is High Stakes, in OUR backyard, and an opportunity to score my biggest moment yet. And yet, you're making it all about YOU? I know that the whole thing with the GRIME tag team titles was a bit ridiculous but...

Morgan: All I know is, I SHOULD BE WRESTLING TONIGHT! It's SO FRUSTRATING! Yeah, I know you're going to go out there and beat Helena Jeckel and everything. But come on. When are you going to get REAL competition for that title? You've been defending against the same dreck and the same mediocrity over and over and over... and this goes back to when you were the SCU TV Champion too!

Cordelia: Morgan, I'm not even going to bother having this conversation. I have way more important things to worry about than my big sister being selfish and petty as hell. If you want to be at ringside to support me, feel free. If not? That's okay too. I mean... I was still attaining my success in this company before you got here anyway so I know I can do this on my own. Be a team player, or don't be. It doesn't make a difference to me. It's not going to change the outcome.

Cordelia leaves the scene having had enough of Morgan's selfishness for the time being. Morgan is left seething with further anger and frustration as the scene fades out.




Somewhere in the bowels of the hallowed halls of Madison Square garden Dev finds the Jeckels.

Dev: um, hello.

Raisa: Hello, Dev welcome.

Dev: So tonight Jake you compete in the warriors brawl's match for the Underground Championship.

Jake: Mr. Dev, this is an opportunity that I have been waiting for, tonight all who oppose me, will fall, they have seen the vision of this match, and it is clear that I will prevail tonight, they call me a hardcore icon, after tonight, they will call me Sin City Wrestling champion.

Dev: And tonight Helena, it's you and Cordelia Clark.

Helena: Mr Dev, I don't like her, she is very smug, but a long time champion, she may take honor in that, but I have no honor Mr.Dev, and tonight Ms. Cordelia's reign will meet its end. Mr. Dev, tonight Helena Jeckel gets the laugh, and it said the she who laughs last laughs best, and I'm better than Ms. Cordelia, tonight the Devil will have a special whisper just for her, and her sleep will be eternal.

Raisa: They have seen it, they have written it, therefore it shall be done.




Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCU Underground Championship! Coming to the ring from Transylvania, Romania, standing at 5'8" and weighing in at 150lb, she is... Helena Jeckel!!!

Smoke and fire cover the stage Raisa emerges from the flames and smokes followed the Jeckels, she leads them to the ring, they walk slowly, Helena slides under the ropes, Jake steps through the ropes and sits in the corner, Jack leans through the ropes, placing his hands on Jack's shoulders, Helena sits by the ropes and rocks back and forth.

The radio version of "Sucker" by Charli XCX hits the PA system and Cordelia Clark steps through the curtains, instantly drawing some boos from the crowd.

Darlyn: On her way to the ring, from Princeton, NJ standing at 5'5" and weighing in at 125lb, she is your Uncensored Television Champion... Cordelia Clllllllllllark!!!

She starts to walk down the ramp, obviously confident in her self-proclaimed, prodigious abilities. She has a smirk on her face as she gets to the ring, obviously enjoying whatever reaction she's getting from the fans. When she enters the ring, she finally acknowledges the "haters" with a 'hush' signal, which only serves to incite them to boo her louder. Cordelia has a laugh to herself at this, as she starts to focus on her match and the song fades.

DING DING DING!

Gena: Helena is ready to get into the Main Event, and she's got her opportunity against Underground Champion Cordelia Clark. They make their way to the center of the ring.

Chad: Helena circles with Cordelia, and she goes for a tie up, but Cordelia locks on a Side Headlock, wrenching a few times for good measure.

Gena: She finds herself whipped into the ropes, but as Cordelia returns, Helena goes for a Headlock of her own. Helena shows Cordelia just how it's done... until Cordelia gets out from under it.

Chad: Cordelia sends her into the corner and charges at Helena, looking for a European Uppercut, but Helena ducks under and catches Cordelia with a Monkey Flip, holding on for a kneeling cover.

ONE!

Kickout!!

Gena: Impressive but ineffective on the likes of Cordelia Helena is quick to get on Cordelia's back for a Figure Four near the center of the ring. Cordelia pats at her arm twice, but Helena stands her ground.

Chad: Cordelia finds herself turning ever so slightly, despite Helena making each inch seem like a mile. She gets to the ropes and gets the break. Helena releases instantly.

Gena: Cordelia stands up and acts as if she is unaffected. She shrugs and gives Helena a "come get some" motion with her hands. Helena obliges, crashing her into the ropes and she hammers away.

Chad: Cordelia trades punches back before spinning Helena around and goes for a German Suplex onto the ropes. As she bounces off, she turns and lands the move on the mat.

Gena: Helena holds onto her back as Cordelia stomps on her, shouting at her in the process. She then sizes Helena up, hitting the Busaiku Knee kick as she rises up to her feet.

Chad: Cordelia acts as if it were effortless, standing up to show off by walking around the ring, commanding the crowd to look at what she's just done.

Gena: Helena holds the side of her face as she tries to shake it off. Cordelia smirks as she grabs Helena's hair and pulls her up to her feet. She lifts her up onto the top turnbuckle.

Chad: Arrogant, but effective so far. She tells everyone in the crowd to watch her as she hits a Diamond Cutter. She dusts her hands off and then goes down for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!No!Kickout!

Crowd: *POP!*

Chad: So close, but with the experience Helena has earned so far, it's not enough to put her down. Helena pulls herself up as Cordelia is busy arguing with the ref about a slow count.

Gena: She finds herself whipped into the ropes, but as Cordelia returns, Helena goes for a Headlock of her own. Helena shows Cordelia just how it's done... until Cordelia gets out from under it.

Chad: She pushes Helena into the ropes, but Helena comes off with a Superkick to Cordelia. She falls to her knees, feeling the exhaustion of the match so far. She takes a few breaths and then gets back to her feet.

Gena: Helena picks Cordelia up and brings her down with a Snapmare. She holds on for a Rear Sleeperhold. She takes Cordelia down to the mat with it, and she nearly passes out from the move.

Chad: Cordelia reaches frantically for the ropes, but Helena kicks at her hand, keeping her from gripping onto them. Cordelia eventually goes limp. The referee lifts her arm up and drops it.

ONE!

Gena: Helena wrenches the neck, and the referee stays focused and intent. They raise the arm up again, leaving it there for a second before dropping it again.

TWO!

Chad: The referee gives it a second as Helena gets impatient, yelling at the referee. She nods her head, and the referee lifts Cordelia's arm again. As they go to drop it again, Cordelia's fist clenches and her arm shakes.

Gena: The crowd is on their feet as Cordelia begins pounding at the side of Helena's head until she breaks the hold. She holds onto her neck as she rises up, sucking in air fast and hard.

Chad: Helena rushes at Cordelia, who trips her up on the ropes. Helena falls neck first onto them. Cordelia jumps over with a Guillotine Leg Drop. She gets back inside of the ring and bolts across the ring. She comes back with the Heartbreaker (spinning double knee right into the chest)! She hooks the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Darlyn: Here is your winner via pinfall, and STILL SCU Underground Champion... Cordelia Clark!!!

"Sucker" begins playing as Cordelia tells the referee that he only made it harder for himself. As he tries to raise her arm, she pulls it away and holds both arms up on her own. She celebrates as Helena rolls out of the ring, still holding onto her chest.




Christian Underwood decided on a whim to take a vacation, and to rub his frienemy and business partner the wrong way, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward appointed the ONE PERSON he knew would annoy Christian above all others as his interim replacement: CANDY! Candy's fun, hyperactive and bubbly personality was not just a stark contrast to Christian's, but to well over half the roster! She made some hilarious rulings during her time in charge, and her Candy's Rules matches left many with their mouths open even wider than their eyes! And the best part? They could literally do NOTHING as on a technicality thanks to Mark, Candy was their boss at the time! Candy's word was law? WTF 2021!




"Hot Stuff" Mark Ward and Christian Underwood are backstage in one of the first-class offices of the Garden, running the show down to the very last detail. Multiple HDTVs are lined up on the wall and both men have their phones at hand and eyes glued to the proceedings on both the TV screens as well as the open laptops on their respective desks. When from out of nowhere, the office door swings open with a loud clatter, prompting both men to jump in a start!

Despayre: Hello!

Despayre charges in, but takes the time to greet the bosses because that is only polite! Mark and Christian just exchange a silent, albeit startled glance with one another as Despayre runs around the office, looking behind, under and IN everything! If it could be moved even a fraction of an inch, Despayre was right there to have a look-see! He opened up the drawers of the lone filing cabinet and just started to rummage through everything inside, creating quite the mess! He then runs behind the desk where Christian is sitting and sets his chair spinning, almost causing Mark to choke, laughing at Christian's expense! And all so Despy could look behind the curtains against the picturesque window!

Hot Stuff Erm, Despy?

But Despy was a man on a mission as he opened the two other doors in the room, then opened the third but that was the one he had just come in from out of the hallway...

Despayre: Oh yeah!

And he then drops to his hands and knees and starts to crawl under the desks but then pops up and wrinkles his nose.

Despayre: Boy! Somebody needs some odor eaters!

To which Mark jets an accusing thumb toward Christian, and Despy just clucks his tongue and shakes his head at Christian who stares daggers at Mark. Despayre then huffs and jumps to his feet, hands on his hips and he looks quite impressed!

Despayre: Well I am impressed!

You see?

Despayre: I don't know where you guys have hidden that Garden but I am having fun trying to figure it out!

But before either boss can question what on earth he is talking about, Despayre does a U-turn and runs out of the office, slamming the door behind him. Christian turns to Mark and is about to ask, but Mark holds a hand up while pinching the bridge of his nose.

Hot Stuff Let's not ask. Let's just ... go with it?

Christian just shrugs and nods and the two return to their work.




The camera switches to the backstage area where Pussy Willow stands, looking around to see who she can grab for an interview. Her eyes widen as she sees two people walking towards her.

Pussy: Oh my God!

Gabriel and Odette Stevens, owners of the highly successful GO Gym walk through the hallways. Pussy apporaches them excitedly.

Pussy: Oh my God. I didn't expect you guys to be here. I thought I saw you in the crowd earlier but wasn't sure.

Gabriel: Can we walk and talk?

Pussy nods as the trio head down the corridor.

Odette: It's a big night for our gym.

Gabriel: And half the roster are from that place so we thought we'd fly to New York and see our people up close in action.

Pussy: This must be a proud moment to see so many of your people here.

Odette: Of course. This is why they all worked hard, this is why they became wrestlers, to wrestle on the biggest show of the year.

Gabriel: They've worked hard enough that we got them all a GO Gym dressing room, tonight, they get treated like royalty. They've earned it.

Pussy: Do you think there's any nerves in that locker room right now?

Odette: Yeah... Nah. Everyone is ready to go.

Pussy: Do you have any predictions?

They stop as they reach a door, with the GO Gym logo on it.

Gabriel: Yeah, win, win win. That simple.

Odette: Nice seeing ya again.

And with that, the two enter the dressing room.




Justin: The following contest is for one fall, introducing first...

What makes your beautiful, by One Direction slams over the personal address system and without any delay, the black curtains part and out runs Dani Weston. She makes her way to the centre of the stage to look towards the fans, before she starts to walk down the runway. Stopping to smirk at the fans along the way.

Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Daytona Beach, Florida... Daniiiiiiii Weston...

She continues to smirk out to the fans, before she makes her way over towards the ring. Sliding into it under the bottom rope, she leaps up to her feet before her theme song slowly dies off the speaker system.

Justin: And her opponent...

The arena fades to black before Bad Bitch by Bebe Rexha featuring Ty $ign begins to play and the arena then flashes with hot pink, neon green, and purple lights. Mikah soon makes her way out onto the stage, one hand on her hip the other by her side. She stops in the middle of the stage before rolling her hips to the left before continuing her way down the ramp. She jeers at the crowd before rolling her eyes at them and ignoring them. She jogs up the stairs before strutting two steps onto the apron then slowly getting into the ring between the bottom and middle rope, dipping her upper body lower than her lower body to make her butt stick out a bit.

Justin: From New York City, New York.... Weighing in at one hundred and ten pounds, she is Mikah!

She then moves to the middle of the ropes and steps on the bottom one before leaning suggestively over the top rope as if to give the crowd a glimpse of her chest but then pulls back and steps down. She moves to the corner, leaning against the turnbuckle.

DING DING DING!

Dani and Mikah both arrogantly walk to the middle of the ring as the bell sound, both women insulting each other.

Simone: Dani's new attitude has surprised us all.

Adams: I never thought I'd see this match happen.

Without warning, Dani swings her hand back and slaps Mikah around the face!

Simone: Oh my God, you could hear that in the last row!

Mikah turns her head away , holding her face before firing a slap right back at Dani, equally loud!

Adams: And they heard that one back in Vegas!

Dani turns back towards Mikah after a few seconds and the two start to exchange punches. Rights and lefts fly in at each other before Dani cuts Mikah off with a thumb to the eye, getting a warning from Jacob Summers and a boo from the crowd. Dani looks unphased as she grabs a handful of Mikah's hair and charges her towards the ropes and rubs her eyes across the top rope, scraping Mikah's face against it. Dani drags her to the corner and smashes her head in to the top turnbuckle, but Mikah fires back an elbow to the jaw and a kick to the midsection, causing space to appear between the two. Mikah turns around and cracks Dani across the face with a discus clothesline.

Simone: Momentum has turned.

Dani gets back to her feet quick but Mikah is waiting for her and jumps up with a dropkick and knocks Dani backward against the ropes. Mikah charges at Dani but Dani lifts her up and drops her across the top rope, Mikah's upper body bouncing on the top. Mikah lands on her feet but Dani rolls her up from behind! Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Mikah powers out!

Adams: Mikah not taking this laying down.

Both get to their feet, but Mikah reacts first, taking Dani down with a chop block behind the knee, forcing her to the ground. Dani holds her knee but Mikah springs up and lifts Dani's leg, dropping huge kicks to the back of her knee, trying to cause serious damage. She steps over with a step over toehold, pressing down on Dani.

Simone: Mikah's gone old school!

Dani reaches up, grabbing a handful of Mikah's hair and pulls her in close before hitting her with a short sharp right hand to break the hold. Mikah steps up and Dani gets back to her feet and runs towards Mikah with a clothesline but Mikah grabs her arm, and twists Dani around in a quick evenflow DDT, crashing Dani's head in to the canvas. Mikah rolls over and grabs Dani by the hair and smashes her face in to the canvas, her head bouncing off. Mikah picks Dani up and locks her arms from behind before lifting Dani back over with a bridging tiger suplex! Mikah keeps Dani's shoulders down and Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Dani rolls out!

Adams: Great move from Mikah.

Dani and Mikah return to their feet but Dani drops down and shoulder tackles Mikah back it to the corner but Mikah rains down shots on Dani's back. Mikah lifts up a knee and catches Dani in the chest, causing Dani to stand up straight and Mikah swings Dani in to the corner and lifts her leg up, chocking her with her foot. Mikah steps away to the center of the ring and charges at Dani but Dani steps out and lifts Mikah over her shoulder but Mikah grabs the top turnbuckle and flips herself over the ropes and lands on the apron, but Dani wastes no time jumping backwards with a Pele kick! Mikah falls from the apron and lands outside the ring.

Simone: Mikah landed hard.

Dani steps back and bounces off the opposite side of the ring and charges towards Mikah and dives through the ropes!

Simone: Suicide dive.

Adams: Or tope suicida depending on where you're from.

Dani crashes hard in to Mikah and both bombshells crash in to the barricades outside the ring, both women feeling the impact. Dani slowly gets to her feet and grabs Mikah by the hair and rolls her in to the ring and quickly follows her. She lays herself over Mikah and Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Mikah gets a shoulder up!

Simone: That was at the last second!

Dani looks towards Jacob with questioning eyes, but he holds up two fingers to Dani. She shakes her head and starts to hammer fists down on Mikah, but Mikah forces her over and starts to hit her with fists of her own. Dani kicks Mikah off and sits up but Mikah charges and smashes a knee in to Dani's jaw, knocking her backwards. Mikah reaches down and lifts Dani's legs and entwines her and rolls Dani over in to a sharpshooter. Mikah leans back as Dani screams out in pain.

Adams: This could be over! Dani could tap out!

Dani tries to pull herself to the ropes, fingertips away but Mikah pulls Dani back in to the center of the ring and leans back. Dani yells out and plants her hands on the canvas and tries to force herself back up. She reaches back and grabs hold of Mikah ankle and pulls firmly, causing Mikah to fall forward. Dani untangles her legs and scrambles away but Mikah is on her feet first. As Dani gets to hers, Mikah jumps up with an enziguri, catching Dani on the side of her head, forcing her to her knees. Mikah quickly bounces off the ropes behind Dani and jumps back with a huge knee behind the back of Dani's head! Dani crumbles to the floor. Mikah quickly rolls Dani over and hooks the leg. Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Dani barely kicks out!

Simone: Mikah nearly had this! That was so so close!

Mikah and Dani lay on the canvas, both breathing heavy and working out their next moves. Mikah gets to her feet first and grabs Dani with her, throwing her through the middle ropes but keeping her on the ring apron. Mikah pulls Dani through the ropes, her head hooked up and drops her with a dangerous DDT! Mikah rolls Dani on to her back again and hooks the leg again. Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Dani puts her foot on the rope!

Adams: This match is a see saw, so back and forth.

Dani uses the ropes to pull herself up as Mikah charges at her, but Dani puts up a boot and catches Mikah in the face. Mikah spins around and Dani jumps in the air and grabs Mikah before dropping her with a backstabber!

Simone: Backstabber! This could be over!

Dani quickly covers Mikah and Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Mikah just about gets a shoulder up!

Adams: WOW!

Dani pounds the mat in frustration and lifts Mikah's head off the canvas, yelling at her. Dani pulls Mikah to her feet and whips her in towards the corner, but Mikah reverses it and Dani crashes in to the turnbuckle. Mikah follows in with a roaring elbow. She lifts Dani on to the turnbuckle and moves in, but Dani kicks Mikah in the face and Mikah stumbles away. As Mikah turns around, Dani jumps from the second rope with a hurricanruna!

Simone: That was smooth as silk from Dani.

Both women lay on the canvas breathing heavy but Dani gets up first. She stand waiting for Mikah to return to her feet, as she does, Dani jumps at Mikah and hooks her head, spinning around for a spinning DDT.

Adams: Dani-Do-Right!

Simone: NO!

Mikah pushes Dani off and Dani bounces off the ropes. As Dani bounces back, Mikah steps to her side and swings her leg up, attempting to connect with The Mikahangelo! Dani ducks and swings to Mikah's side and hooks her up before dropping her forward!

Simone: Westoned! This one could be done!

Dani drops to the canvas to cover Mikah and Jacob drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner.... DANI WESTON!!!

Simone: What a hard fought match!

Adams: These two gave it their everything.

Simone: They did Jason, but there could only be one winner and tonight, that is Dani Weston!

Dani pull her arm away from Jacob as he tries to raise it, and the camera cuts elsewhere




Dani Weston returns through the curtains after a hard fought victory over Mikah. Sweat runs from her forehead as she steps down the steps in to the backstage area, only to be met with a few people clapping.

Dani: Oh go away.

The camera turns to see London Underground - Daniel Morgan, Osbourne, Charlotte Elliot and Mackenzie Page - looking towards her.

Daniel: If I was less of a bloke, I'd take offense to that.

Dani stops in her tracks and for the first time, looks up at the group, a smile growing on her face.

Dani: What are you guys doing here? I thought you were staying in Vegas.

Mackenzie: You think we'd miss your big night? Not many people are in the beat Mikah club, I mean I am, and now you are, couldn't miss that.

Dani moves towards them, initiating a group hug. Except for Osbourne who stands back and looks on. Dani breaks away from the group and hugs Osbourne too, causing an awkward look on his face.

Dani: I can't believe you guys are here.

Daniel: We was always gonna be here, wasn't gonna tell you that though, wanted it to be a bit of a surprise. We figured you was gonna work your arse off and wanted to celebrate that fact. So there's that locker room, that Gabriel and Odette sorted out, there's a bunch of people there ready to celebrate with the Queen slayer. So come on, get ya arse in gear.

Daniel gives her a firm nod and the group move away towards the GO Gym locker room.




SCW has no shortage on talent, and the rising number of men and women who experts predict great things for is a pool that runs deep. But one name that has risen in the minds of many is none other than the reigning Roulette Champion, Krystal Wolfe! Krystal worked harder than just about anyone to get her name out there after moving up to SCW from SCU, and she did not allow her losing streak to hinder her evolution. Instead, it inspired her. She has turned her luck around as the champion, and that is just one small thread to the tapestry of her career. The Roulette title is just the beginning for this young woman who is the Future Star of 2021!




Justin: The following contest is for one fall, introducing first....

"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.

Justin: And his opponent....

The lights dim and a single spotlight shines on the entrance ramp. The opening beat to "twilight zone" by 2 unlimited hits. As the beat picks up, a serious looking Marcus Cage steps out into the spotlight and cracks his knuckles with a worried looking Candyby his side.. He was wearing his classic blue camp pants with the matching vest that said "HIGH VOLTAGE SUPERSTAR" on the back.

Justin: Making his way to the ring, from Las Vegas, NV... accompanied by Candy... He is the High Voltage Superstar... MARCUS CAAAAAGE!!!

He is met with a large pop from the crowd as he glares down at Fenris. They start walking down the ramp, Marcus's focus solely on Fenris. At the bottom of the ramp, Candy stays out the outside while Marcus slides under the top rope and hops to his feet. He glares over at Fenris before going to the top rope and raising his arms for the fans, soaking in the warm welcome. He hops down and takes off the vest, handing it to Candy, before turning his full attention to Fenris

DING DING DING!

The bell rings leading Marcus and Fenris to circle each other. Both men lock up in the center of the ring. Fenris uses his weight and height advantage to over power Marcus. Fenris delivers a sharp knee shot to Marcus ribcage! The violent blow leads Marcus to bend over. Fenris hits the ropes just behind him then slingshots forward at Marcus full speed! Fenris catches Marcus still bent over and nearly kicks his head off with a big boot! Fenris hooks a leg after both men hit the canvas!

ONE!

TWO!

Marcus throws a shoulder up!

Adams: Wow! Did you see the kick!

Simone: Fenris nearly took his head off with that one. Marcus kicks out but he is clearly dazed.

Candy cheers Marcus on but Fenris takes Marcus up by the hair of his head. Before Fenris can follow up however, Marcus counters by wrapping both arms around Fenris's neck then dropping down to his knees! Fenris flies back after the vicious jawbreaker. Marcus retreats to a corner to catch his breath while Fenris holds his jaw laid out flat on his back now. Marcus quickly uses this brief opening to climb up on the second rope. After situating himself, Marcus waits patiently for Fenris to get back to his feet. Fenris gets up slow as the crowd grows wild with anticipation. Fenris turns slowly toward Marcus. This leads Marcus to leap off the top turnbuckle at Fenris! Fenris catches him out of the air!

Simone: WOW! What a show of strength here by Fenris.

Adams: All those 6am runs and hours in the gym, paying off.

Fenris holds Marcus in his arms and walks around the ring. He stops suddenly then heaves Marcus up in the air, throwing him across the ring with a huge exploder suplex!

Adams: What a counter!

Simone: Fenris has Marcus in real trouble here and Candy is not liking this.

Marcus rolls under the bottom rope then uses the ropes to pull himself up to his feet on the apron. Marcus waits as Fenris approaches and catches him with a fist to the face. Marcus steps through the ropes and charges at Fenris, jumping up in the air and planting a flying forearm on to Fenris's nose! The flying forearm wows the crowd and sends Fenris to the mat in a pile. Marcus follows up by moving in close to Fenris, waiting for him to get back to his feet, as he does, Marcus turns his back and jumps backwards with a Pele kick, catching Fenris in the head. Marcus hooks a leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Fenris kicks out!

Simone: Fenris just kicked out!

Adams: Both men are breathing heavy after that one.

Fenris gets up on one knee. Marcus realizes quickly that his opponent is a bit dazed. Marcus hits the ropes then springboards toward Fenris at full speed! The shining wizard leads the crowd to pop and Fenris hits the mat now lifeless. Marcus quickly goes for another pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Fenris just sneaks a shoulder up!

Adams: Nasty shining wizard! Fenris will not go away in this one. He continues to fight with all he's got no matter what Marcus throws at him.

Simone: No one ever claimed Fenris was soft.

Fenris gets back to his feet. Marcus dashes at him but Fenris leaps up into the air! Marcus runs right underneath him then hits the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. On the return, Fenris clotheslines Marcus with all he's got! The violent shot leads Marcus to do a complete flip in the air! The crowd pops but Candy winces.

Simone: Did you see that! Geeeeez.

Adams: Marcus is seeing stars and I don't mean the ones in the crowd.

Marcus shakes his head on the mat while Fenris hovers over him. Fenris pulls Marcus up to his feet then situates him for a powerbomb. Fenris bends over then wraps both of his arms around Marcus. He lifts Marcus high into the air! Marcus comes to life suddenly! He begins to hammer Fenris in the face with both fists! The counter punches find their mark every single time because Fenris is defenseless due to holding Marcus up in a powerbomb position. Fenris stumbles around the ring aimlessly then falls back suddenly. Marcus rides his shoulders all the way to the mat! Marcus reaches behind his own back then hooks both Fenris legs in an unorthodox pin.

ONE!

Fenris forces Marcus off!

Adams: Another crowd pleasing counter. He went for a ride on that one!

Simone: Fenris is still in this one!

Fenris gets back to his feet quickly. A bit of frustration creeps across his face. Marcus charges at him but Fenris counters by grappling! The two wrestlers lock up once again and swing around the ring. The dance is ended abruptly after Fenris irish whips Marcus into the ropes. Marcus bounces off the ropes and on the return Fenris snatches Marcus's head then drives it into his knee! The knee smash leaves Marcus dazed leading Fenris to follow up. Fenris hooks Marcus by the arm and drops him down with a single underhook DDT! The maneuver drives Marcus head into the mat with all Fenris's weight behind it.

Simone: They heard that impact all over New York.

Fenris waits for Marcus to get back to his feet. Slowly he sneaks up behind Marcus then hooks him for a sleeper hold! Marcus eyes widen after Fenris applies pressure. Referee Jasmine comes in close again to watch for a tap.

Adams: He's got it locked in! Fenris can send him to sleep right now

Simone: He is trying to choke the life out of his rival.

Fenris falls back on the mat while still holding the sleeper on Marcus. Both men hit the mat with real force but Fenris holds on. Marcus begins to fade. St John comes in close again to check. He lifts Marcus's left arm once then drops it. The referee then lifts it up once more. Marcus's hand plops against the mat once again completely lifeless. St John takes hold of Marcus's hand one last time. He lifts it up then drops it but Marcus holds it high! He then uses everything he's got left in the tank to get he and Fenris back to their feet. Fenris holds the sleeper on tight while both men stand up but Marcus uses his free arm to elbow Fenris in the ribs! After three sharp elbow shots, Fenris releases his hold.

Simone: Marcus is still fighting tooth and nail.

Adams: What a match!

Marcus holds his neck but doesn't lose his focus. Fenris rushes at Marcus but he takes off too! The men meet in the center of the ring but Marcus catches Fenris with a flying roaring elbow! The move causes Fenris to hit the mat then bounce back to his feet in somewhat of a di

y daze. Out of nowhere, Marcus delivers a very quick head and arm suplex, sending Fenris flying across the ring.

Adams: Sharp move from Marcus

Simone: Marcus is looking to follow up here...

He gets back to his feet quickly then rushes over to Fenris. Marcus lifts his opponent up to both knees. Then Marcus grapples Fenris on up to his feet. Marcus then wraps both arms around Fenris 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!

Fenris just about kicks out!

The crowd pops over the kickout. Marcus eyes widen with utter disbelief. Fenris staggers back to his feet leading Marcus to do the same. Marcus rushes over to Fenris but is cut off with a huge atomic drop! Fenris quickly headbutts Marcus! Marcus hits the canvas and Fenris stumbles backwards, the effects of the headbutt catching himself off guard. Marcus turns around but Fenris quickly charges but Marcus puts up a knee. He hooks Fenris in a powerbomb position

Adams: He could be looking for the Shock Therapy!

Marcus tries to flip over with the Canadian destroyer but Fenris stands firm charging Marcus in to the corner, but Marcus grabs the top rope and pulls himself on to the turnbuckle before kicking Fenris in the face. Fenris stumbles back and falls to the floor and Marcus pulls himself on the top rope. Marcus dives off the top rope with a senton but Fenris swerves, just rolling a little behind Marcus but quickly sits up and locks on the Asuka lock!

Simone: He's locked in with nowhere to go!

Adams: This is dangerous for Marcus

Fenris reaches back and Marcus has nowhere to go, eventually he has no choice but to tap out.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, Fenris!

Simone: Fenris has defeated Marcus Cage

Adams: I get the feeling he won't be too quick to call out Fenris again after that.




When Krystal Wolfe moved up from Sin City Underground to the main roster in SCW, she did so with high expectations of herself as a graduating member of the famed GO Gym. She believed sincerely that success would follow her as closely in SCW as it did in SCU based on merit and reputation alone. Instead, she started one of the longest losing streaks in recent memory, losing one match after another in a hard dose of reality that if she wanted the success, she would have to change her approach. And so, she did. Krystal worked harder than ever before to turn her luck around, and now not only is she the reigning Roulette Champion since May, but she has lost only ONE match since then. If that doesn't deserve the Most Improved of the Year award for 2021, then nothing does!




Backstage at the Garden, one of the most highly successful groups in SCW history, none other than London Underground makes a collective appearance onscreen! Daniel J. Morgan, Osbourne, Mackenzie Page and Charlotte Elliot are walking down the backstage halls en route to an unknown destination. At the sight of this team, the crowd watching onscreen cheers despite any misgivings towards a heel/face social or professional status! They pass the rec room for the staff and stars alike, past the cafeteria and even the recording studio, used for promotional work during the progress of the show.

But as they pass, one door in particular opens and a familiar face to the fans steps out of the room - Devona! Former Internet Champion and fellow graduate of the GO Gym! With a bright smile on her lovely face, Devona creeps up on tip-toes behind the group, the gargantuan Osbourne in particular. She then takes one quicker step and wraps her arms around the man's wide upper body in a great big, warm embrace! Osbourne comes to a screeching halt and looks down at the arms around his powerful upper body, and this action causes Daniel, Charlotte and Mackenzie to stop and turn to see what is going on.

Osbourne turns around to see who is behind him but Devona is practically hanging off of him given the height difference between the two, thus where ever he turns, she turns as well and remains out of the big man's sight! The sight quickly turns a comedic tone to it as Daniel and the ladies are smiling and having a laugh at poor Osbourne's expense as he keeps turning around and turning at the waist but still is unable to find just who it is behind him, stealing a hug! Mackenzie has a smirk on her face, always ready and willing to get a rise from the bug guy. Charlotte has a clenched hand over her mouth and her shoulders are trembling as she chuckles at his expense. And Daniel! He is leaning back against the wall and having a good laugh at the big lug trying to see behind him and their mutual friend Devona just dangling off of him! Daniel in particular is much reserved but Devona, both a friend and colleague, just seems to have that effect on those around her. A means to loosen people up and just be themselves.

Daniel finally calms himself as he sees Osbourne growing uncomfortable at the physical display of affection, and he shakes his head.

Daniel: Whew! Alright luv!

Daniel lays a hand on Devona's arm.

Daniel: We've all had our fun but maybe we should let go before Os here breaks down and actually says something? Hm?

With a reluctant pout, Devona separates herself from her 'big buddy,' Osbourne turning around and looking relieved at finally seeing just who was holding onto him like that...

Devona: Suit yourself!

And she turns right around and wraps her arms around Daniel's neck and hugs him instead, much to the others' amusement. Daniel looks down at her, then at the others and sighs, finally returning the hug.

Daniel: I suppose I had that coming.




`"When Destinies Align" by Lovebites hits the speakers and once the vocals start Krystal comes out on the entrance ramp in her street clothes, the title around her waist.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the reigning SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Krystal Wolfe!

Simone: We weren't expecting to see Krystal come out until her title defence against Char later on this evening, but she apparently requested this promo time at the last minute.

Adams: And once the bosses understood why, they were happy to grant it too her!

Krystal makes her way down to the ringside area before she hops onto the apron, she removes the title from around her waist before holding it above her head and entering the ring where she poses with the title proudly before asking for the mic.

Krystal: One hundred and sixty eight days, and how many people said that my reign would be yet another one and done deal?

Krystal asks before putting a thoughtful finger to her chin.

Krystal: Pretty much everyone! And yet here I am, one hundred and sixty eight days after winning the Bombshell Roulette Title at Into the Void X!

The crowd applauds this and Krystal frowns.

Krystal: I know I normally save these speeches for the Climax Control after the Supercard and trust me, Char will be getting her ass kicked tonight for what she did to Ari and Azurine, but there's another reason I came out here, a much more personal one at that.

Krystal reaches into her jeans pocket with her free hand.

Krystal: Makayla, can you come out here a sec?

Simone: Makayla? As in Krystal's girlfriend?!

Adams: She's been appearing on Climax Control a lot lately, so I don't doubt that she's here tonight.

Sure enough, Krystal's Greek-Australian girlfriend comes out to no music playing and a confused look on her face, Krystal helps Makayla into the ring and, after a bit of prompting, gets Makayla to take a mic from a stage hand.

Makayla: Krystal, what is this about? You've never had me come out here for one of your promos!

Krystal: I know, this is about a promise I made to myself when I enrolled at the Go Gym back in 2015, if I made it to a High Stakes PPV that I was competing in a title match on, either challenging or in this case, defending, that I would do this.

Krystal lets out a deep breath before grinning broadly.........and dropping to one knee!

Simone: No.......

Adams: Is.......is she proposing to Makayla?!

That is indeed the case as Krystal produces an engagement ring from her jeans pocket and Makayla covers her mouth in shock as it dawns on her.

Krystal: Makayla, you got me out of that horrible situation all those years ago, and even when separated by an ocean we were together in our hearts, will you marry me?

The crowd goes nuts as Krystal pops the question to her girlfriend and Makayla takes a moment to compose herself before responding.

Makayla: YES!

Makayla quickly embraces Krystal and the two girlfriends, now fiancés, share a quick but passionate kiss.

Simone: Congratulations to the happy couple, SCW has become a regular match maker!

Adams: I'm not crying, your crying!

Krystal and Makayla leave the ring and head up to the top of the ramp where they are met by Team Go who are clearly (and obviously) happy for them before they head to the back.




Justin: This next match is a MMA Match for the SCU Combat Championship Match!!!

Both opponents are already in the ring standing on opposite side of the ring. The crowd cheers loudly for the two women.

Justin: First on my left, she is the challenger, the number one contender, she is the undefeated Jenifer Lacroixxxxx!!!!

Jenifer takes a step forward and raises her arm to address the fans cheering for her.

Justin: Her opponent stands to my right. She is the longest reigning SCU Combat Champion. She is Merlot Ayanoooooo!!!!!

Merlot takes a step forward and raises her arm to address the crowd cheering for her. Referee for this match is Elders manager, Lin Ting Lu (Master Lilly).

Both ladies walk up the rampway together to a standing ovation.




This has always been the most cherished award each year because it tells you that not only is all of your hard work validated, but it is appreciated. Jazz aka Amber Ryan showcased her writing skill every time she was booked, and has had more than one handler look at her work and wonder what on earth they would do if they were ever to be booked against her. She has worked with others such as the handlers of Mac Bane and Despayre successfully in tag team situations, and alone against such notable writers as Todd (Crystal) and Jeremy (Roxi). Respect is something that should be earned, and as the 2021 RPer of the Year, Jazz has earned ours!




The scene cuts to a television monitor that happens to show the ending of the "I Quit" match between Christina Rose and Andrea Hernandez at last year's High Stakes event. As many know, it was a brutal match between two women that really couldn't stand each other. Once it reaches the end where Christina is about to stab Andrea in the eye with a screwdriver, an ax comes in from out of nowhere and shatters the television monitor, nearly splitting it in two. After a couple of electrical fizzles, the television falls down onto the floor and breaks in two. The scene pans to reveal SCW Bombshells Internet Champion Andrea Hernandez standing above the wreckage with the ax in her hand. She is by no means angry, much to the surprise of many. In fact, she finds herself amused as she begins to express her thoughts.

Andrea: You all laughed at me for that. You all mocked and ridiculed me. You all wrote me off. You all thought that I was going to spiral downward into nothingness. Krystal Wolfe even thought she was going to come out of the woodwork and vulture the scraps to get a "big debut win" at my expense. But no, I proved every single one of you that wrote me off and doubted me WRONG! Of course, it doesn't change the fact that ever since then, as I have dominated my way to the SCW Bombshells Internet Championship and once again became a title holder here, every last one of you has STILL been acting like a CHICKEN LITTLE! Every triumph I have had, you have all tried to make an excuse for it and you have all tried to diminish it. Every single setback I've had, you act as if the sky is falling and that I'm on the way down. People are acting as if losing the Bombshells Internet Championship would mean that everything that I've done since that I Quit match would mean nothing and that I would lose "everything".

Once again, it's a bunch of CHICKEN LITTLE nonsense just because this entire locker room wants to disrespect me and wants to see me fail. Of the three women in this title defense tonight, I am the one you MOST want to see fail, let's be honest with ourselves here. You all want Keira to FINALLY get her CINDERELLA MOMENT against me and to finally beat me after how many matches we've had where she hasn't been able to beat me? That's what you all have wanted. That is all you SIMPLETONS root for. You LOVE a good Cinderella story and I know that based off of the fact that you simpletons cheered SO HARD for me after I defeated Christina and Roxi for the world championship last year. So of COURSE you ALL want Keira to win and FINALLY "slay the dragon" that has my name on it. She's going to fail you all again. Let's get that straight. Let's also be honest with ourselves and ADMIT that if it's not Keira, you'd rather have Alicia than me...

Andrea takes a brief pause while she scoffs at her own amusement.

Andrea: Imagine that... the "big bad wolf" that everyone hated so much a few years ago has become the wolf without a bite for the most part of this year. She's derailed if not ended the careers of Ruby Steele and Courtney Pierce and yet, that barely registered on the radar. You people have grown to hate ME more than you ever hated her. You all hate me and root for my failure THAT FUCKING MUCH that you'd rather have HER as the Bombshells Internet Champion than me. You all act as if I'm nothing. You have all disrespected me from the moment that I walked into this company more than two years ago. Disrespect? Yeah, I'm used to that by now. My rookie year is when people told me I wouldn't amount to anything. My old company, FUCK THEM by the way, had people that would bash me for being different if not bash me just for being a woman in their pathetic little old boys club. The original Chicken Little in Evie Jordan tried to act as if I was old news and that I was nothing in the company anymore after last summer.

Yet, through ALL of your disrespect, I have learned how to USE your disrespect as absolute FUEL to make MYSELF better! All I have ever been since last year at High Stakes is BETTER! I am SO MUCH BETTER that no matter how hard you CRITICS AND HATERS TRY to exaggerate my setbacks to try and tear me down... because you're DESPERATE to do so out of pure JEALOUSY for me...it has become IMPOSSIBLE for me to have a meltdown after adversity now. It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to make mountains out of molehills. It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to break down and have a crash in confidence. THAT is how much I've grown and when I retain my Internet Championship against the Cinderella story that is stuck on accomplishing her dream and the third wheel that lacks the ability so much she might as well be a BASIC in the Pokemon trading card game, I will SOLIDIFY THAT once and for all.

And even if I don't? While I know that if I don't you're all going to try and bury and diminish what I accomplished and revel in my "misery", but there won't be any misery here. As far as I'm concerned, the "worst case scenario" for me is having to regain this title in a rematch. But, I'm not worried. I won't NEED TO! Over the last year, I have made ADVERSITY and DISRESPECT my BITCHES...

Tonight? I do the same to Keira and Alicia...

And I'm going to CONTINUE to give every single one of you a reason to hate me!

Andrea gives a confident wink, clearly showing no signs of shakiness or nervousness as she would before, as she exits the camera shot. The shot then fades to black.




Justin: The following matchup is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH... and it is for the BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP... introducing first from Miami Florida... KEEEEIRRRAAA FISSSHERR JOOHNSSSON.

"Like a Phoenix" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage is seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the ring. She slaps a few fans hands as she slides in. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she waits for her opponent

Justin: and her opponent from Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at one hundred and fifty pounds... ALLLLICCCCIAAA LUUUUKKKKAAASSS.

"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: Making her way to the ring from Phoenix Arizona, weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds... your current Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Internet Champion... ANNNNDDREAAAA 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.

Adams: I got my money on Alicia.

All three women start to circle one another in the centre of the ring as Drew calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Adams: this match is a triple threat match, meaning the first bombshell to secure a pin fall or submission wins the match.

Simone: Meaning the Champion, Andrea... doesn't even have to be in the picture to lose.

Adams: YUP!

Andrea turns her focus on to Keira and the two start to exchange a heated verbal disagreement but that opens it up for Alicia to come in straight on the attack with a clubbing blow of two hands to the back of the champion. Andrea rocks into the ropes and she stables herself using the top one. She turns back to look over her shoulder and Alicia shouts at her reminding the champion that she is still in this match.

Simone: A mistake by the champ already.

Adams: Never turn your back on Alicia.

Andrea and Alicia rush towards one another and the two start to slog it out with left and rights, Keira rushes in and with a handful of Alicia's hair she drives the other challenger down to the canvas. Keira turns her attention to the champion but Alicia springs back to her feet, only to be pushed back to the canvas by Keira with an almighty shove. Keira walks straight into champion's flying forearm, she spins and is collected by Alicia who is waiting for her with a powerful close line.

Adams: Keira is getting ping ponged around.

Andrea and Alicia circle the fallen Keira, neither of them can attempt a pin fall. Alicia rushes towards Andrea, but Andrea drops to her knees and sweeps the legs right out from underneath Alicia. Andrea starts hammering away on Alicia with left and rights to the midsection. Alicia reaches up and grabs onto the head of the champion, she tweak is and rolls over the hold and now Alicia is on top, and she is raining down with left and right punches.

Simone: The champion is ducking for cover.

Andrea switches and her and Alicia struggle for dominance on the canvas the two of them end up rolling under the bottom rope and to the outside. Keira is up on her feet on the apron, and she comes flying in with a missile dropkick connecting with Alicia. But as her feet spear into Alicia, she twist her body to knock over Andrea also.

Adam: Two for one combo.

Keira gets back to her feet, and she drags Alicia back into the ring by her hair. Once back inside the ring Keira rushes towards Alicia and knocks her down with a shoulder barge. Alicia hits the canvas and Keira goes for the pin.

ONE!

z NO! Alicia fires her shoulder up off the canvas. Keira gets up and Alicia sits up, but Keira drives her foot into the back of Alicia's head. Before coming int with a swift leg drop, followed by a swift elbow drop. Keira gets up and looks for a spinning leg drop but Alicia rolls out of the way just in time to save herself. Both women are back on their feet, but Alicia is angry, and she aggressively drags Keira back to the canvas by yanking her head back. Keira's back slaps against the canvas. Alicia goes for the pin.

ONE!

NO! Keira kicks out. They both make it to their feet and Alicia rushes towards the ropes using them for speed she comes flying across the ring looking for a clothesline. Keira ducks. Alicia misses but she connects with a sliding baseball kick to Andrea who was just about to step back into the ring.

Adams: Andrea is down. It's not the move Alicia was looking for, but it still works in her favour.

Keira rushes Alicia but Alicia has her number with a knee to the face. Alicia makes her way over to the tops she climbs up to the top, but Keira comes crashing into with a stiff right hand knocking Alicia down. Keira then grabs hold of her and tosses her back into the ring with an almighty throw. Alicia springs to her feet but she is groggy. Keira races across the ring and she flips over Alicia hooking her up and slamming Alicia's back into the turnbuckles.

Simone: Alicia's head just bounced off the corner.

Keira drags Alicia to the centre of the ring and hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Andrea is back in the ring, and she break up the pin fall.

Adams: JUST IN TIME.

Andrea drags Keira off of Alicia and drives her shoulder first into the corner, before she turns her attention back to Alicia she grabs onto her right arm, and she drives her foot into the shoulder of Lukas. Andrea bends the arm of Alicia over and stands on her hand, she looks as if she is going to kick the elbow of Alicia, but Keira comes flying in saving Alicia from permanent damage.

Simone: Andrea does not look pleased.

Alicia rolls out of the way as Andrea rushes towards Keira, but Keira draws Andrea in with a drop tow hold. Andrea head slaps against the turnbuckle. Keira lifts Andrea up but only half way before she drives her knee into her face. Andrea side steps the second shot, but Keira drives her down to the canvas with a snap mare. Keira hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Andrea kicks out.

Adams: Keira is beside herself.

Simone: She's been putting in the work all night but keeps falling short.

Andrea and Keira get back up to their feet, Andrea drives herself towards Keira pushing her into the corner with a round of body shots. Keira slips down the ropes, but Andrea aggressively stands her back up by yanking on a handful of hair. Using her right-hand Andrea claws at Keira's face before she lifts her up and sits her up on the top rope. Andrea tosses Keira legs on the outside of the ropes, trapping Keira in the corner.

Simone: This is not going to end well for our hero.

Andrea climbs the ropes, she wraps her arms around Keira's midsection. Keira fights back with everything she has. Andrea slams her fist into the back of Keira trying to get her to stop. Andrea stumbles a little and Keira pushes her off the top rope. The champion hits the canvas with her spine sending a sicken sound through the arena. Keira steps up and looks as if she is going to come crashing in on the champion, but Alicia grabs hold of her leg, and she rips her from the top rope down to the apron. Keira rushes towards Alicia on the outside but Andrea springs up and catches her and puts her in a headlock from the inside. Keira is screaming in pain and Alicia looks up in panic knowing if Keira taps her chance at becoming the Internet Champion is over.

Adams: DO SOMETHING ALICIA.

Alicia snakes into the ring and she drives her boot into the side of Andreas knee. Andrea buckles and Alicia grabs hold of her stomach, and she lifts Andrea up off her feet for a Suplex. Andrea lets go of Keira in the process sending her to the outside.

Adams: look at the strength of Alicia!!

Alicia stacks up Andrea looking for the win.

ONE!

TWO!

NO! Andrea kicks out.

Simone: So close for Alicia.

Alicia and Andrea make it back to their feet they tie up together in the middle of the ring exchange left and rights, Andrea over powers her and pushes Alicia into the ropes. Andrea steps back and looks for a stuff clothesline to the outside but Keira comes crashing into with a flying cross body taking them both down. Alicia and Andrea roll to the outside, Keira gets up and uses the top rope to spring herself down onto them both... but both Alicia and Andrea roll out of the way.

Adams: Nobody home for Keira.

Keira gets up slowly, but Alicia pushes her into the ring post. Keira hits the floor with a thud. With her back turned Alicia doesn't see Andrea who drives her knee into her back, slamming Alicia into the barricade. Assessing the damage Andrea turns her attention to Keira and she drags her back into in the ring. A leg drop for good measure. Andrea then makes her way up the ropes once more and with her last effort she comes crashing into with a Phoenix Splash from the top rope.

Adams: RISE OF THE PHEONIX.

Andrea hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Alicia rushes in but she's too late.

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner AND STILL BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPION... ANDREA HERNANDEZ.

Andrea snatches her title away from Drew and holds it close to her chest as she celebrates. Alicia is on the outside looking up at the champion shaking her head in defeat.




The camera pans backstage to see the Blonde Bombshell, Mikah walking down the hallway looking to be looking for something or somebody. She smiles when she spots Kristopher Ryans walking out of a room. Mikah smiles before walking over to him and scrunches her nose up at him before looking up at him kissing him first and then hugging him.

Mikah: Congratulations, by the way.

She smiles warmly at him before looking around to notice that they were by themselves in the hallway. She was still in her ring attire, not having showered yet after her match against Danielle Weston.

Kris: Thanks.

He smiles at her and she smiles back, scrunching her nose up at him again.

Mikah: Did you know that on High Stakes VI that we officially became friends?

She looks at him with a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

Kris: Talk about a fresh start, huh?

He smirks a little at her and she just smiles back at him, a look dancing in her eyes momentarily.

Mikah: You are pretty awesome, you know....and I know that you have a match to get ready for and...I need a shower.

She makes a face before smiling up at him before hugging him once more and then pulling back.

Mikah: I would wish you good luck...but I fully believe that luck is for losers...

She looks him over, a smirk playing on her pretty face.

Mikah: And you are not a loser.

She leans up and kisses him again.

Mikah: Go win your match against the man child and we can celebrate after the show ends.

She doesn't give him a chance to respond as she winks at him and then walks down the hallway to the locker rooms to get a shower in.




The scene opens backstage at High Stakes XI where we see the reigning Bombshell Roulette Champion standing by with Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal, this rivalry with Char Kwan has gotten much more personal than anyone could've imagined but it's coming to a head tonight as you are defending the Roulette Championship against her, what are your thoughts?

Krystal: My thoughts? Char has attacked my co-workers, my friends, she has used every dirty trick in the book, but she finally crossed the line in her second promo when she attacked a fan of mine.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I saw that, I'm surprised she didn't get removed from the show and suspended immediately.

Krystal: You and me both Rocky, but I do want to bring someone in, come on out Rebecca.

We hear clutches being moved along as the Krystal Wolfe fan from Char's promo hobbles into view, Krystal steps out of view for a second to grab a chair for Rebecca to sit on and the fan readily accepts the chair.

Krystal: How's your leg?

Rebecca: Better after the attack, but it'll be a few months before I can walk normally again, and I was hoping to start training to be a wrestler next year.

Krystal: You'll get another chance, there's always the year after, but why did you go after Char?

Rebecca: She needed to pay for what she's done to you and Ari, I made a mistake and I paid for it.

Krystal: We all make mistakes, and Char's been making a shit ton of them during this cycle, trust me, she will pay tonight.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Err, Krystal, there's one other thing I wanted to ask.

Krystal nods as the Australian Bombshell turns her attention back to Rocky.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Earlier tonight Matthew Kennedy shocked the world when he announced his return to SCW as a manager and said that he was looking at you as his first client, what are your thoughts and did you........

Marty: MS. ROCKY MOUNTAINS! It has been far too long!

Simone: Oh god no!

Adams: Anyone but him!

The three women look up and indeed, Matthew's manager from his wrestling days "Big and Large" Marty McFarge dances into view. Krystal messages her forehead in annoyance as the perverted manager mooches his way up to them.

Krystal: Marty McFarge, I was hoping that you wouldn't be a part of this!

Krystal sighs as she folds her arms.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Part of.......wait, you knew?

Krystal: Who do you think got the ball rolling?

Matthew: Indeed, Krystal was the one who contacted us when I started Prime Time Associates, not the other way around.

It's at that moment that "Prime Time" Matthew Kennedy steps into view, he offers Krystal a handshake and she takes it.

Matthew: And I will thank you for the excellent choice, now I'm sure you have some questions.

Krystal: Yeah, like how the hell did Marty survive the MeToo movement?!

Marty pretends to act shocked, but Matthew shakes his head.

Matthew: Please Ms. Wolfe, he is the one who handles the day to day of Prime Time Associates and his a valuable asset, you won't have to worry about him.

Marty: You'll be well looked after Ms. Wolfe, you, Makayla, your daug.......

Krystal suddenly grabs Marty by his tie and pulls him in close.

Krystal: I'm going to make this VERY clear to see Marty, if I see you even making eye contact with Rachel this partnership is through!

Marty: But.....nut I am great with kids, honest!

Krystal: I don't give a shit, I will not let my niece ne influenced by you, am I fucking clear?

Marty gulps before nodding and she lets go before Krystal turns to Matthew.

Krystal: What exactly are we going about tonight's match? You didn't become my manager until well after it was announced.

Matthew: We haven't had a chance to amend your contract with the bosses so that I'm your manager, that will have to wait until after High Stakes XI, but if need be you'll have backup?

Krystal: From who? A retired wrestler and a sleezebag who's never even taken a clothesline?

Cyrus: Not exactly.

Andreas: From us.

Krystal looks up and sees two large former SCW wrestlers, the American Cyrus King and the Swedish Andreas Bergfalk and Krystal gives them a a surprised look.

Krystal: Weren't you guys working with Steve Ramone?

Matthew: Their contract with him expired a few months after he left SCW, they weren't hard to find as they still live in the Vegas area.

Krystal lets out a deep breath as she glares at Marty,

Krystal: This had better be worth putting up with this idiot!

Matthew: It will be, trust me on that, come, we have much to discuss.

Krystal walks off with the four men leaving a surprised Ms. Rocky Mountains with Rebecca.

Simone: First Matthew Kennedy and now Marty, Cyrus and Andreas?

Adams: Who else is in Matthew's new group?!




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.

Ms. Rocky Mountains gives the Roulette Wheel a hefty spin and it spins for a long time. Krystal and Char watch and each is hoping it lands on a spot that benefits their style of wrestling. We assume Krystal hopes for a stipulation on the wheel that works in favor of her All-Around wrestling style. We also assume that Char is hoping for a stipulation on the wheel that works in favor of her wrestling style and her attitude change to being very aggressive. As the wheel starts to slow down both wrestlers watch intently. The wheel finally comes to stop on the spot with the rules for this match as HARDCORE RULES. . .ANYTHING GOES. . .WINNER BY PINFALL, SUBMISSION, OR KNOCKOUT. Referee Dawn Barnes is standing next to Justin and she tells him something.

Justin: The Roulette Wheel has landed on the spot marked HARDCORE RULES. ANYTHING GOES. WINNER BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION OR KNOCKOUT. I have been informed by Referee Dawn Barnes that although this is a Hardcore Rules Anything Goes match the pinfall, submission, or knockout must take place inside the ring even though the wrestlers can take the action of the match outside of the ring.

Simone: Yes!!! An Anything Goes match works to the benefit of Char Kwan as she's made a major turn recently where she goes all our without regard to what happens to her opponents. Also a match with these stipulations means Hardcore Rules and anything the wrestlers can get their hands on can be used as a weapon. There are limitations that the Referee is likely to enforce but for the most part it is Anything Goes.

Adams: I understand what you're saying but on the other hand Krystal Wolfe has proven over and over that she can perform exceptionally well in any match, with any rules, with any stipulations, so I'm sure she's happy that the two can to all-out at each other until one is declared the winner by pinfall, submission, or knockout. When you are dealing with a Roulette Championship match I more enjoy a match with rules and stipulations like this one.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the decision from backstage is that the first wrestler to enter the ring for this match, hailing from Reading, Pennsylvania, at five feet eight inches and one hundred twenty-seven pounds, please give a great New York City welcome for CHAR KWAN!!!

The crowd erupts into a mostly negative reaction knowing Char Kwan is about to make her entrance. The arena goes dark as red strobe lights begin to flash causing the crowd to murmur. A Japanese Flag appears on the screen as "The Dark Side" suddenly begins to play over the sound system. A big man steps out from behind the curtain followed by two women. The man 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. Not getting a reaction from Char Kwan the crowd increases their volume but Char continues to ignore them. Char then walks down the ramp with her entourage as the crowd is really letting her know how they feel about her. She continues to ignore them while walking right up to the ring. Kwan hops up onto the ring apron and 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.

Adams: Well we know the fans hate Char Kwan.

Simone: You can say that if you want but often those wrestlers who get the most negative reaction from the fans are the ones who are the most popular. You know how it is. A wrestler is fantastic in the ring and the fans are jealous because they can't relate or compete with the wrestler they are booing.

Justin: Next to make her way to the ring, from Adelaide, Australia, at five feet five inches and one hundred twenty-five pounds, please give a great New York City welcome for KRYSTAL WOLFE!!!

"When Destinies Align" by Lovebites hits the speakers and once the vocals start Krystal comes out on the entrance ramp ready for action, the Bombshell Roulette Championship around her waist. The crowd greets her with a mostly positive reaction to her appearance. After acknowledging the crowd Krystal makes her way down to the ringside area before she hops onto the ring apron. She then steps through the ropes into the ring where she removed the Bombshell Roulette Championship and holds the belt in the air to the cheers from the fans. After taking in the appreciation of the fans Krystal hands the Bombshell Roulette Championship to Referee Dawn Barnes. Referee Barnes holds the Championship Belt over her head before walking to the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located to hand it to them to hold onto it while the match is in progress.

Adams: There's no height or weight advantage except for Char having three inches of height over Krystal. That shouldn't make a difference in this Anything Goes match.

Simone: I agree with you on the height and weight comparison but when it comes to an Anything Goes match I give the advantage to Char Kwan.

Referee Dawn Barnes motions to the Timekeeper to ring the bell for the official start of this match.

DING DING DING!

At the sound of the bell from the Timekeeper Char Kwan runs across the ring and starts landing blows on Krystal Wolfe. Although Krystal is deflecting most of the blows some are landing and taking a toll early in this match. Krystal steps away from Char and quickly spins and lands a hard kick to the side of Char's head. Kwan is staggered from the kick but she remains on her feet. Char quickly responds with a roundhouse kick to Krystal head. Wolfe staggers but also remains on her feet. We're surprised when we see the two face each other and motion their appreciation for the move they put on each other and then both motion to the other to bring it on.

Adams: There's a great show of respect by both wrestlers. Both landed hard kicks to the head of the other and both acknowledge their opponent for the moves.

Simone: I told you Char wasn't an evil person. She is a professional and regardless of her lean one way or the other she still admires opponents who can stand toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow with her.

Krystal grabs Char by the arm and whips her into the ropes catching her with a spear on the rebound. Wolfe goes for the pin but Kwan kicks out before Referee Barnes can get a one count. As Krystal reaches down to drag Char to her feet Kwan lands a head butt to the midsection of Wolfe and then several hard punches to her midsection. Char steps away a distance and as soon as Krystal gets to her feet Kwan hits her with a leaping leg lariat dropping Wolfe to the mat. Char dives on top of Krystal and hooks her legs for the pin.

ONE!

Referee Barnes gets a one count before Krystal gets her shoulder up to break the count. Char gets to her feet and stomps on Krystal several times before stomping to the other side of the ring.

Adams: Both Krystal and Char are taking it hard to the other but neither is backing down. I can see this match is going to keep up this pace until someone gets hurt.

Simone: The term "someone" will be translated to Krystal as I don't see where she can keep up this pace with Char.

Krystal gets to her feet and Char runs across the ring at her again. Wolfe spins to the side causing Kwan to miss the attempt. Char hits the ropes and rebound backward into the grasp of Krystal who wraps her arms around her executes a belly to back suplex driving Kwan hard into the mat. Char is slow to maneuver to get upright but she doesn't get far before Krystal lands several stomps and kicks to the head of Kwan. The blows take a toll and we watch as Char drops face first to the mat. Krystal then pulls Char up off the mat and maneuvers her head down between her legs and quickly drops Kwan in a piledriver. Krystal releases the hold on Char, turns her over, and goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Referee Dawn Barnes raises her hand high to deliver the three count but before she can bring her hand down to the mat Char Kwan gets her shoulder up breaking the count. Referee Barnes holds two fingers in the air to indicate it was a two count.

Adams: That was close to ending this match. When you consider that Char previously got a one count on Krystal and now Krystal got a two count on Char you can see how this match is going in favor of Wolfe.

Simone: You have a lot of optimism but this match is far from over.

Krystal gets up and hangs back a bit as she wants to allow Char to get to her feet. The two lock up and Kwan maneuvers Wolfe to the corner where she backs her into the corner and starts landing punches and kicks on Krystal. Krystal is fighting back but unless she can get out of the corner the result might not go well for her. We're surprised when, instead of continuing to pound away on Krystal, Char pull back from the corner and we wonder what she's going to do next. We do not have long to find out as Char tosses Krystal over the ropes where she lands on the ring apron then rolls onto the arena floor. Char slides out of the ring to go after Krystal.

Adams: Looks like this match is about to get real.

Simone: Which match have you been watching? This match has been all-out real since the bell rang.

Char stands off several feet from Krystal. When Krystal gets to her feet Char takes off in a run at Wolfe. Krystal dives to the side causing Char to slam into the side of the ring apron instead of slamming into her and Kwan drops to the arena floor. Krystal grabs Char by the arm and drags her upright and then she wraps her arms around the body of Kwan and drives her backward toward the ring steps. At the last moment Char spins around which causes Krystal to be the one to slam her back into the ring steps. This Krystal to the arena floor on her back. Char grabs both arms of Krystal and pulls her across the arena floor over to where the cables connected to the televisions and announcers tables are located.

Adams: Unless Krystal Wolfe can figure a way out of this situation...

Simone: ...she's going to lose the match and the Roulette Championship to Char Kwan.

Once Char Kwan gets Krystal Wolfe in the spot where she wants her she steps in front of Krystal as they are against the barricade and she doesn't have room to stand there and be able to move around and beat on Wolfe. Kwan then grabs at the cables going to the televisions and announcers table and she pulls enough slack to start wrapping the cable around the neck of Wolfe. Before she can get the cable around the neck of Krystal we are surprised when Wolfe lifts her leg hard and slams into the crotch of Char. She lets go with another extremely hard kick to the crotch of Kwan causing Char to moan loudly and she drops to her knees from the pain.

Adams: What just happened? I thought a woman getting a hard shot to the crotch area wasn't as devastating as when it happens to a man.

Simone: I assure you women are adversely affected from a vicious shot to the crotch as Char just took from Krystal.

While she has Char Kwan temporarily disabled we watch as Krystal Wolfe as she drags a folding table out from under the ring and sets it up. She pulls Char Kwan to her feet and drags her to where she set up the table. She body slams Kwan onto the table. The table doesn't collapse or break but Char took a hard shot on top of the table. Kwan rolls off the table and she looks to the side and sees a folding metal chair within her reach. She grabs the folding metal chair and holds it firmly. Krystal slides the table to the side so she can go after Char but as soon as she has the table to the side Kwan rams the top of the folding metal chair into Krystal's midsection causing her to double over from the blow. Char then lifts the folding metal chair over her head and brings it down hard across the back of Wolfe. To add insult to injury she then slams the chair down on Krystal's head causing Wolfe to drop to the arena floor. Satisfied with her work Char tosses the folding metal chair to the side.

Adams: I wonder why Char Kwan stopped beating Krystal Wolfe with the folding metal chair.

Simone: Because she already has Krystal disabled and since a pinfall, submission, or knockout has to be accomplished inside the ring Char has to get Krystal into the ring to get the win in one of those ways.

Char drags Krystal to the ring apron and shoves her under the ropes and into the ring. Kwan quickly returns inside the ring to finish off Wolfe. As she drags Krystal to her feet both start trading blows, punches, and kicks, trying to finish off the other. Referee Dawn Barnes remains close to the action to make a call when needed. The two continue to brawl until they reach the ropes on the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located. Char lands numerous vicious kicks and blows that drops Krystal to the mat where Wolfe's head and shoulders are a bit under the ropes. Char drops to sit on top of Krystal and she continues landing punches to her face and head. Referee Barnes steps in to ask Krystal if she wants to submit and she yells HELL NO so Referee Barnes allows the match to continue.

Adams: When you are the Roulette Champion defending your Championship you never want to submit in a match to lose your Championship unless you have no other choice.

Simone: Krystal might as well submit as she has no other choice from what I'm seeing.

The non-stop blows by Char Kwan on Krystal Wolfe continue and it isn't looking good for Krystal right now. With her Roulette Championship slowly slipping away we see Krystal reach deep down inside the pull all the energy she can get to reach above her head where she grabs onto the Timekeeper's bell. Wolfe gets the bell in her hands and lifts it up while Kwan continues punching her. Mustering up all the strength she has remaining Krystal swings the Timekeeper's bell hard into the forehead of Char. Although the blow was brutal Char is not out. Kwan reaches back to again land more blows but this time Wolfe manages to hit Char in the side of her head which caused Kwan to fall to the side and off of Wolfe.

Adams: What did you say about you felt Krystal had no other choice in this match than submit?

Simone: Oh... shut up!

Krystal sees the damage she did to Char and she slides over and applies her Long Rest Dragon Sleeper while at the same time wrapping Char with her legs in a body scissors. Char is struggling but after those blows to her head with the Timekeeper's bell there doesn't appear to much left for her to fight with. Referee Dawn Barnes steps in and asks Kwan if she wants to submit but in the position she is currently in she is not able to provide an adequate response so she lifts the arm of Char and lets it drop. Referee Barnes raises one finger into the air to indicate she did not get a response. She then raises the arm of Kwan in the air again and lets it drop then she holds up two fingers. Referee Barnes does it a third time and for the third time the arm of Char Kwan drops to the mat so Referee Barnes calls for the bell to end the match.

DING DING DING!

Referee Dawn Barnes order Krystal Wolfe to release the hold on Char Kwan and she does. Once Krystal is standing off to the side Referee Barnes retrieves the Bombshell Roulette Championship from the Timekeeper and she holds it in her hand.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen Referee Barnes has ruled this match was won by submission. The winner of this match, by submission, and still Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Roulette Champion KRYSTAL WOLFE!!!

Referee Barnes raises the hand of Krystal Wolfe for the win while handing her the Bombshell Roulette Championship with her other hand. The crowd erupts in cheering for Krystal Wolfe. Referee Barnes drops the hand of Krystal and Wolfe exits the ring and heads into the backstage area. Our attention is returned to the ring where Char Kwan has recovered a bit and she slowly makes her way out of the ring and then she walks slowly toward the backstage area.

The camera moves to inside the dressing room of J2H, the man himself shown on camera.

Adams: This is what we've all waited a year for and it's next.

J2H hugs his wife before hugging his son, words can't be heard but his lips are moving.

Simone: A whole year, J2H and Kris Ryans have been talking about this match, a whole year of expectations.

The camera cuts to Kris Ryans, leaving his dressing room. The new Hall of Famer with a determined look on his face.

Adams: He's been ready for this since day one.

The camera splits to a split screen with J2H walking out of his locker room, meeting Austin Parker outside. The two exchange a glance and a nod before walking towards the gorilla position. The camera follow both men.

Simone: And it's coming up right now!

The camera quickly switches back to ringside.




Jacob Summers steps through the ropes to enter the ring, and takes his place in the far corner as Justin sands directly beneath the spotlight of the Garden to begin the introductions of this highly anticipated match.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Battle of the Greats!

The crowd cheers!

Adams: Yesyesyes! I've been waiting for this all YEAR!

Simone: You and so many others - myself included!

The lights shut off leaving the entire arena pitch black. The screen at the top of the ramp flashes to life with the words: DO YOU BELIEVE? Knowing what is coming the fans roar to life just as the PA blasts out the opening lyrics to the theme in the most booming fashion.

Justin: Introducing first...!

Two spotlights shine down on the stage as a remixed version of 30 Seconds to Mars "Walk on Water" plays through the PA system. Standing in the middle of the stage where the lights intersect is Kristopher Ryans.

Justin: From Jet City, he is 'the Miracle'! KRIS RYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYANS!

The fans erupt with applause as he makes his way down the ramp. The white club symbol appears on the screen behind him. As he gets down to the bottom of the ramp, the camera passes him, circling around his side to see the orange letters on his white shorts reading "MIRACLE" down his right leg. We get behind him as he ascends the stairs, seeing that the back of his jacket displays the KR logo in the same shade of orange. He walks one side of the ring before stepping between the ropes.

Simone: Kris Ryans! Truly one of the best SCW has ever had to offer, and tonight he is a Class of 2021 Hall of Famer!

Adams: When he vanished for a few months awhile back, I was worried this match might not happen!

Simone: As was I but the sooner High Stakes XI loomed, Kris reappeared and was not going to disappoint the SCW Universe!

Justin: And his opponent!

The lights in the arena drop out to pitch black, before gold and blue lights flash around the top of the entrance ramp as a heavy guitar rift. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung, J2H confidently walks out on to the stage with Austin Parker.

Justin: Being Accompanied to the ring by Austin Parker. From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds, he is J2H!

Austin is wearing faded blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots and hat, as he walks slightly in front of the shirtless J2H, wearing gold shorts, boots and kneepads with "J2H" written on the back of the shorts. The SCW World Heavyweight championship sits around his waist. J2H looks around the crowd before he walks towards the ring with, a confident look on his face. The lights brighten slightly as he gets closer to the ring, stepping up the steps and through the middle of the ropes and in to the ring. He moves towards the center of the ring, putting his arms to either side as gold pyros spit up from the turnbuckles. J2H look to the sky before looking down and round the fan, cockiness dripping from the young man. He turns to his opponent, looking him up and down before the match starts.

Simone: Words fail even the best when it comes to describing J2H. He went from being the laughing stock of the wrestling world; a virtual jobber, to one of the single-most dominant forces in the sport!

Adams: And he didn't need this match. He doesn't need to wrestle ever again unless HE wants to! But it is J2H and it IS High Stakes XI and what would the biggest event of the year be without the biggest Superstar?

J2H and Kris are already standing in the center of the ring, jawing at one another and trading backhanded insults right in the center of the ring! Jacob tries without success to get them to separate and return to their corners.

Adams: Oh just ring the bell, Jacob!

Simone: These two are not going to listen to you anyway!

J2H pokes Kris in the chest but his hand gets swatted away! J2H takes a step closer and puts his finger in Kris's face but it gets swatted aside! J2H shoves Kris back with both hands, and Kris shoves him right back! Suddenly J2H strikes hard and fast with a super kick that lays Kris out! Finally Jacob succumbs and calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

And J2H goes for the immediate cover, expertly hooking the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-KICK OUT!

Adams: Oh god! Thank you! Kris kicks out!

Simone: J2H almost set another record with a lightning quick win!

Adams: And almost gave me a heart attack to boot! NOBODY wants to see this match end so fast!

J2H immediately rolls out of the ring and drags the shaken up Kris along with him to the outside! J2H takes him by the arm and sends him crashing into the barricade! Kris's back strikes the steel so hard he staggers forward, his back arched and his face in clear pain! J2H is without remorse or pity as he grabs him by the arm again and whips him around and into the steel ring steps, sending Kris hitting them hard enough that he goes tumbling right over them!

Adams: Boy these two are not bothering to feel each other out, are they?

Simone: No indeed! Both Kris and J2H fully knows what the other is capable of and they are taking absolutely no risks when it comes to putting the other away as quickly as possible!

J2H then reaches over the barricade and grabs a steel folding chair from the audience! J2H sets it up against the barricade and drags Kris up and sits him on the seat. J2H backs up to the other side of the ringside floor and gets a running start - and delivers a running big boot right to the face that sends Kris tumbling out of the chair and across the ringside floor!

Simone: Good god! What a shot!

Adams: And Jacob hasn't even started a count!

Simone: I imagine with as highly anticipated as this match is, he is going to give both men a TON of leeway!

J2H smirks in at Jacob and he does indeed roll back inside. But once he stands upright, he turns to face the crowd and gives them a sweeping J2H-esque bow and contrary to past results, the crowd absolutely LOVES it! Jacob shakes his head and turns to count against Kris on the outside, and to add salt to the wounds, J2H counts along with the official in an elaborate fashion.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

Kris uses the ring apron to drag himself to his feet - finally - and J2H breaks the count by walking over to the ropes! He reaches through and grabs Kris by the hair to drag him back inside, when Kris reaches back and sweeps J2H's out from under him! J2H hits the mat and Kris holds the apron out and drags J2H out, trapping him between the ring and the apron! Kris then goes to work, assaulting J2H and beating the absolute HELL out of his with a brutal barrage of forearm shots and closed fists! J2H is driven down through the apron and to the floor where Kris grabs him by the leg and drags him out to the floor! J2H tries to kick him away but Kris blocks it, grabs him by the legs and performs the Giant Swing to swing him around and right into the ring steps with a LOUD crash!!!

Adams: BLOODY HELL!!!

Simone: Payback is an absolute bitch!

J2H lays there, eyes wide but nobody home! Kris drags him up to his feet and rolls him back to the inside and following, just breaking the count at nine! J2H is barely moving as he struggles just to roll over onto his side! The former two-time champion slowly forces his way back to a vertical base on wobbly legs, and turns around and right into a springboard tornado DDT from Kris! J2H's head strikes the mat so hard it bounces off! Kris with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-J2H kicks out!

Simone: The resiliency of J2H never ceases to surprise me!

Kris drags the limp body up to his feet and sends him rocking back on his heels with a European uppercut, following up with a roundhouse kick to the midsection that doubles J2H over at the waist! Kris then races into the ropes and comes up from behind with a leapfrog into a one-handed bulldog! Kris with another cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Kick out by J2H!

Kris proceeds to pull his opponent to his feet and he snapmares him over and follows up by delivering a sharp soccer kick to his kidney area! J2H falls to his back in clear pain and Kris runs over him, jumps into the ropes and leaps back for a Lionsault but J2H brings his knees up and Kris Ryans lands right on them, stomach-first! Almost immediately J2H has him rolled up into an inside cradle as Kris kicks his legs wildly!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-Kick out by Kris!

Simone: This match has been back and forth since the very beginning! How on earth will either man manage to defeat the other!?

Adams: I bet both Kris and J2H are asking themselves the very same question!

As Kris rolls on the mat, clutching his ribs, J2H manages to stand and takes him by the legs. He steps through, intertwines the legs for a sharpshooter, but turns him over and pulls back on his arms in a scorpion cross lock!

Simone: Good GOD! Look at the way J2H has Kris's body contorted!

Adams: NOBODY will blame Kris if he gives up, here and now!

But Kris is most definitely NOT giving up! Jacob asks him time and again and each time, Kris grits his teeth and shakes his head emphatically NO! Finally, J2H releases him, throwing him down so that he might seek another means to win! J2H opts to add insult to injury by literally stepping ONTO and OVER Kris, causing a few scattered boos from the crowd but he just looks out to them with a smile and shakes his head. J2H then places his boot onto Ryans' head and scrapes it across!

Adams: Oh now he is just insulting Kris!

J2H stands over Kris and reads him the riot act, casting down insults and he even swats him upside of the head!

Simone: Oh for the love of...

But suddenly Kris pulls J2H's legs out from under him! J2H goes down and Kris rolls over on top of him and he wraps both hands around J2H's throat, choking the LIFE out of him!

Adams: I think J2H has PISSED Kris off!

J2H scratches and claws at Kris's hands to free himself and get a gasp for breath but Kris has an iron grip on him and is shaking his neck and head in the process! It is only when Jacob starts issuing his count to break it up...!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

That Kris indeed does break before he can be disqualified! Kris gets to his feet and DRAGS J2H back up along with him but J2H throws a haymaker that connects and knocks Kris away! Kris swings right back with his own shot that sends J2H stumbling and down to one knee! J2H swings, then Kris! Suddenly there is a heavy flurry of bone jarring lefts and rights in the center of the ring between both men, as all semblance of technical wrestling is thrown out and a wild brawl erupts instead! And the fans are LOVING it! Kris gains the upper hand in the exchange, driving J2H back with forearm after forearm, right and left, until his opponent is backed up against the ropes and trapped! Kris then scoops him up onto his shoulders in a foreman's carry for a possible GTS, but J2H resorts to gouging Ryans's eyes to escape! kris yells out and Jacob admonishes J2H and Kris drops him but J2H just continues! Jacob counts...!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

J2H lets go! Kris staggers away from him and J2H jumps up from behind and hits the Lung blower! J2H steps over him and vaults to the top of the nearest corner! J2H sizes him up on the at and jumps off for the 21st Century Splash - but Kris rolls out of the way - and J2H somersaults over in the process to escape damage on his own! Both men jump up and J2H runs up the near corner and launches back for a flying body press but the momentum carries both men over with Kris on top! Kris with the cover and hooking the wildly thrashing legs of J2H!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-KICK OUT!!!

Simone: NO!

Adams: Not yet!

Both men are up and Kris goes for a roundhouse kick but J2H swats him aside! J2H has his arm and ---!!!

Adams: KISS THIS!!! He hit it!!! IT'S OVER!!!

Kris is down and J2H covers him!

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-KICK OUT!!!!!

Simone: OH MY GOD!! OH. MY. GOD!!! Kris Ryans kicked out of Kiss This! I am SHOCKED!

Adams: So am I!! So is J2H!!!

J2H is sitting up, staring at the official in absolute HORROR! He scrambles to the referee and holds up three fingers but Jacob pries his hand from his short and holds up only TWO! J2H runs his hands down his face, eyes wide as he turns and stares down at Kris as Austin shouts encouragement from the outside! J2H slowly stands up, pulling the limp form of Kris Ryans up along with him! J2H sets him back into the corner and proceeds to Irish whip him into the neutral side! But Kris somehow reverses it and sends J2H in instead! J2H jumps onto the middle turnbuckle and goes to leap back - and Kris drops down to avoid him! But J2H faked him out! J2H is still on the turnbuckles! A confused kris slowly stands up and turns around! J2H THEN leaps off onto him, but Kris catches him in a foreman's carry and ....!

Simone: Miracle's End!

Kris hooks both legs!

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-NO!!! SOMEHOW J2H kicks out!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! SCW! THIS IS AWESOME! SCW!

Adams: That says it ALL!

Simone: I do not know what else either of these men can do in order to put the other away!

Both men are laying on the mat! Hurt! Battered! Exhausted! Jacob has no choice but to start his count against them!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

Kris is somehow the first to stand, breaking the count as he reaches down for J2H and literally peels him off of the canvas! Kris scoops him up but J2H shifts his weight and drops to his feet behind him! Kris grabs him and goes for an Irish whip but J2H holds on and reverses it! J2H goes for a roundhouse kick but Kris blocks it and sends him into the ropes again! Kris then goes for Godspeed but J2H drops out of the way and Kris hits the ropes and falls back, landing on the back of his head!

Simone: Oh NO!

Kris is stunned! He is out almost completely as he rolls over to his hands and knees and a predatory J2H comes up with...!

Adams: Solid Gold!

That takes everything J2H has left in the tank and he falls down on top of Kris for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner - J2H!!!!!!

The crowd is on its collective feet, not just for J2H alone but also for Kris Ryans and his fighting heart displayed to one and all! Both men are laying on their backs as Jacob checks on them and Austin enters the ring to check on his charge and help him to his feet!

Simone: What a match! What! A! MATCH!

Adams: It was everything we thought it would be and MORE!

Simone: And everything that High Stakes XI is all about! J2H emerges victorious but Kris Ryans took him to the very BRINK of defeat!

Austin raises J2H's arm in the air and he is again greeted by cheers, but so too is Kris who drags himself to his feet in the near corner, staring at the winner and he claps his hands together, not in sarcasm but in good sportsmanship as he salutes J2H before slowly exiting the ring!




The scene opens up with Hitamashii backstage talking with his friends in Dying Breed Andrew Garcia and Ivan Darrell. They are talking about Hitamashii's upcoming match which is a Warrior's Brawl for the SCU Underground Championship where Hitamashii faces the champion Stewart Mason, Helluva Bottom Carter, Father Gerald Shepherd, Jamie Staggs, Lord Raab, Mz Holly Wood and Jake Jeckel.

Andrew: I am looking forward to seeing you seek revenge on Stewart Mason, do whatever it takes to win the Warrior's Brawl, and obtain the SCU Underground Championship. You truly deserve it more than anyone else in that match.

Hitamashii: There is nothing I would rather do than destroy Stewart, HBC, Father Gerald, Jamie, Raab, Mz Holly Wood and Jake and become champion once again. My waist has felt naked without the gold around it.

The trio drink from their water bottles before talking more.

Ivan: I know. It is weird not seeing you having gold here in SCU with how successful you have been. I am kind of disappointed that Andrew and I are not booked at High Stakes, but know that we will do whatever it takes to make sure you win.

Hitamashii: I know you guy will watch my back. I am not the one who needs to watch his back. If anyone needs to watch their back, it's Stewart and the rest of these jokers in this match. They don't know who they are messing with.

Andrew: I totally agree. There is nothing to worry about, and you will emerge victorious at the end of the night, Ivan and I will make sure of it.

The scene ends with them talking about other non wrestling things while Hitamashii gets ready for his match.




Darlyn: The following contest is a Warrior's Brawl Match for the SCU Underground Championship! First, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, standing at 6' and weighing in at 235lb, he is your SCU Underground Champion... "The Bounty Hunter" Stewart Maaaaaaaaasonnnnnnnnnnn!!!

"The Hunter" by Mastadon begins playing over the speakers. Stewart Steps on the stage, wearing black pants and combat boots, with Black Handwraps, he takes in the reaction of the crowd, and is joined by Gail Weston, together they walk to the structure, Gail climbs the steps and steps through the ropes and walks to the center of the ring, Stewart climbs the ropes from outside and points to himself then climbs down from the ropes, and joins Gail in the center of the ring. She escorts him to a pod, and the door closes as she exits the structure.

Darlyn: 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 steps. Hitamashii climbs up to the platform and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him as he settles into a pod.

Darlyn: And next, from Cologne, Germany, standing at 6'4" and weighing in at 260lb, he is "The Masked Monster" Lord Raab!!!

Monster by Skillet plays over the sound system as Lord Raab comes out through the curtain wearing his red and black wrestling trousers with his nickname The Masked German Monster on the front of them with Monster Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands and wears a black and red stripy mask and ignores the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and crouches down in the corner moving backwards and forwards, rubbing his hands and moving his neck around while looking at his opponents with anger in his eyes. He walks into one of the pods and looks around while waiting for the match to start.

Darlyn: On her way to the ring, from Hollywood, CA standing at 5'11" and weighing in at 165lb, she is... Mz Holly Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!

"Hollywood" by Collective blasts over the sound system as a pink shadow box appears through the curtains. The silhouette of a lovely lady dancing is seen from the inside, seducing the crowd with her feminine wiles. It comes to rest at the edge of the stage, and after a moment, the lady inside kicks her way through the thin paper to reveal... Holly Wood! Mz. Wood if you nasty. She flips her blonde hair over her shoulder as she raises her arms in the air, loosening her hips before sashaying down the ramp. She climbs the steps into the structure, swaying her hips back and forth as she lowers herself down into a split position. She crawls under the ropes and does a sexy pose on the mat before leaping up, dancing around to the music as she waits for her opponents inside a pod.

The lights begin flashing. "Party Hard" by Andrew W.K. begins playing over the speakers when the words "Dumbass University" appears across the screen. Just then, a very familiar face comes running from behind the curtains, stomping and running in place as he stands on the edge of the ramp.

Darlyn: On his way to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, standing at 6'4" and weighing in at 205lb, he is the "Vale-dick-torian of Dumbass University" Jamie Staggs...

The crowd cheers as he points his arms out to both sides. He then brings them around to point down toward the ring. He charges down the ramp, slapping hands along the way. He then jumps and rolls inside of the structure. He holds his arms out like an airplane and he runs around the ring before stopping and spinning. He makes his way to a pod.

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 structure, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up the steps, and across the platform, jumping 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. He then makes his way to a pod.

A white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Spirit In the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum begins to play through the arena. The crowd cheers and gets louder when the announcer speaks up.

Darlyn: On his way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma he is 6'6" and weighed in this morning at 275lb. Representing The Church of The Good Shepherds he is Father Gerald Shepherd!

And the cheers 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 steps and runs up them. He walks across the platform 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.

Darlyn: Coming to the ring from Transylvania, Romania, standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 235lb, he is... Jake Jeckel!!!

Smoke and fire cover the stage. Raisa emerges from the flames and smokes following Jake Jeckel, she leads him to the ring, they walk slowly, Helena slides under the ropes, Jake steps through the ropes and sits in the corner. He glares at Father Gerald with a sadistic look in his eyes as he rubs his hands together menacingly.

DING DING DING!

Gena: Gerald and Jake have no love lost as they meet in the middle of the ring. Gerald goes for a tie up, but Jake pokes him in the eyes. He lifts Gerald up into a Bear Hug and rams him into the corner in front of Raab.

Chad: Taunting a big guy by beating on a big guy. Not sure how wise that is. Gerald hits a Bell Clap on Jake and fights him back. He sends Jake into the ropes and catches him with a Big Boot on the rebound!

Gena: He waits for Jake to get up and he nails him with a Bicycle Kick. He rolls Jake over on his back for a cover, but Jake punches him right in the face, twice, to back him away. He gets to his feet and plants Gerald with a Scoop Slam.

Chad: He puts his boot to Gerald's throat and stands on it, causing Gerald to choke out loud. He steps over Gerald and then repeats himself. He goes to do it again, but Gerald trips him up into an Ankle Lock, twisting viciously as he shouts out hoarsely.

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The lights flash around quickly on each of the six pods before finally landing on... Helluva Bottom Carter!!!

Gena: Carter is full of energy as he pushes past the door of the pod and he climbs onto the ropes. He waits as Jake rolls over and kicks Gerald in the face, and then Carter jumps off, nailing a Frog Splash to Jake!

Chad: He pays Gerald a compliment about his son before he picks Jake up and sends him into the corner. Gerald gives Carter a boost, allowing him to hit a Body Splash, and then a Running Bulldog.

Gena: Carter jumps up and down celebrating before Gerald grabs onto the back of Carter's head and sends him right into the pod with Stewart inside. Stewart smacks the pod back and shouts at Gerald, who rolls Carter up for a cover..

ONE!

TWO!Kickout!

Chad: Gerald feels the frustration, but he lifts Carter up, but halfway through, Carter drops into the splits and hits Gerald Johnny Cage style! Gerald drops down to Carter's level. Carter leans down and twerks right in Gerald's face!

Gena: Jake comes out of nowhere and returns the favor of a Running Bulldog to Carter. He climbs on top and begins pummeling away and...

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The lights flash around quickly on each of the six pods before finally landing on... "The Masked Monster" Lord Raab!!! Raab pushes out the pod door rather than waiting for it to open. He climbs inside the ring and grabs hold of Jake.

Chad: This is payback for taunting him! Ooooooooooooh, you done pissed off the wrong one here, boy! Raab pulls Jake by the back of the head and smashes his face into the pods with Holly, Stewart, Hitamashii, and Jamie as a warning!

Gena: He goes to try it with the empty pod, but Jake puts his boot up to block it. He then rams an elbow into Raab's mask and then he smashes Raab's head right through the pod, cracking it! And one final smash to shatter that wall!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Chad: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! Jake pulls Raab out from the pod and he drops him with the Hokus Pokus (Flowing Snap DDT)! As Gerald is going back and forth with Carter, Jake goes for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Darlyn: Lord Raab has been eliminated!

Gena: Wow, I did NOT see that coming. Jake Jeckel slayed a monster in record time tonight. And he's not finished as he spins Gerald around and nails him with a Headbutt. Carter takes a breath as Gerald and Jake go at it once more.

Chad: Jake rushes Gerald into the corner and throws punch after punch at him. Gerald reverses it after a moment and throws Jake into the corner. He hits repeated shoulderbutts. Carter jumps onto Gerald's back and nails a Hurricanrana on Jake, but it takes down Gerald also!

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The lights flash around quickly on each of the six pods before finally landing on... Underground Champion Stewart Mason!!! The champ moves through the door to a standing ovation from the crowd. He steps inside, and he and Carter come face to face!

Crowd: *POP!!!*

Gena: The two extend their hands for a show of good sportsmanship... but Stewart yanks on Carter's arm!? To stop Jake from attacking him from behind! Gerald ties up with Carter while Stewart and Jake trade crushing blows!

Chad: Gerald lifts Carter up into a Military Press Slam. Carter doesn't fight it as Gerald tosses Carter at both Stewart and Jake, taking them down in the process. Carter does a 69 Pin on Stewart, finding comfort in between the champ's legs...

ONE!

TWO!Kickout!

Gena: Too soon, but I think I'd like to snuggle up down there sometime too. Jake lifts Carter up, but Carter does a Fireman's Carry to Jake, only to catch a knee to the face from Stewart. Gerald comes up behind Stewart and nails a German Suplex, looking for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Chad: The champ is the primary target it seems. Jake puts Stewart down with an Atomic Drop before going back to Carter. Stewart holds onto his crotch as he stumbles over toward the ropes.

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The lights flash around quickly on each of the six pods before finally landing on... Jamie Staggs!!! Jamie jumps up and down.

Gena: Jamie quickly exits the pod and begins spinning around on the platform, getting the crowd pumped up. He airplane rushes toward the champ, looking for a Clothesline! Ohhhhh, but Stewart kicks him right in the gut and plants him with the Paid In Full (Implant DDT)!

Chad: Right on the steel platform, too! Like some sort of revenge from the last Warrior's Brawl when Jamie snuck a win over Stewart for the Underground Championship! He hooks the leg!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Darlyn: Jamie Staggs has been eliminated!

Gena: And just like that, he came, he saw, he failed. Better luck next time. Stewart bides his time as Gerald and Jake are back to brawling in a corner. Carter climbs onto the pod and waits on his stomach as the two men leave the corner.

Chad: Carter stands up slowly as he waits patiently. Once in position, Carter jumps off and lands the Fruit Fly (Eclipse) on Gerald! He goes for the cover!

Gena: Stewart spins Jake around, going for the Paid In Full, but Jake kicks Stewart in the stomach and goes for the Hokus Pokus. Stewart lifts Jake back into a Back Body Drop. As Jake starts to get up, Stewart locks on the Payday (Ta

mission)!

Chad: Jake has nowhere to go, and no one to save him. However, he doesn't let up! He tries to roll over onto his stomach, but Stewart rolls right back over. Carter waits patiently as...

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The lights flash around quickly on each of the six pods before finally landing on... Hitamashii!!! Hitamashii doesn't come out of the pod just yet, letting Jake tap out!

Darlyn: Jake Jeckel has been eliminated!

Gena: Hitamashii is right there, stomping on Stewart before the champ even has time to think about getting up. He leans down and clubs Stewart. He picks Stewart up and whips him to the ropes.

Chad: However, Carter comes from out of nowhere with a Handspring Elbow to Hitamashii, putting him on the mat. He and Stewart lift Hitamashii up and send him into the ropes, both hitting stereo Superkicks.

Gena: He is about to go for a Piledriver, but he is cut off!

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The lights flash around quickly on each of the six pods before finally landing on the last competitor, Mz Holly Wood!!! Holly rushes over to help Carter out with a Crescent Kick to Hitamashii!

Gena: Hitamashii goes down, and Holly helps Carter back to his feet. They look at the opposition as Stewart charges them. They move out of the way and hit a double Drop Toe Hold to Stewart, causing him to crash into the chains.

Chad: Stewart picks Carter up and puts him on the top rope. He hits a few stiff punches to the abdomen of Carter and then he climbs up top. He hasn't done this one in a while, but he's looking for a Superplex it seems!

Gena: He lifts Carter up, but Carter hooks his leg on the ropes. Stewart tries again, with the same result. Stewart climbs up onto the top rope and drives a knee into Carter's stomach. He lifts once more, but Carter nails a Headbutt that sends Stewart down to the mat!

Chad: Carter catches his breath as he sizes up the champion. He turns around and... Fairy Tail (Twerk dance back against the fallen opponent into a standing moonsault with legs split over the torso) from the top ropes! He covers the champ!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Darlyn: Stewart Mason has been eliminated!

Crowd: OH MY GOD!!! *POP!* BOOOOOOOO!!!

Gena: I don't think any of us were expecting that! Stewart's reign as champion is over, and we WILL see a new champion tonight at High Stakes!

Chad: Hitamashii is in mid cover of Holly, but Carter rushes over to break it up before the referee can start the count! A pin breakup in a Warrior's Brawl is NOT smart, Carter!

Gena: But it speaks volumes of the love and adoration that he has for Holly. Carter picks Hitamashii up, but Hitamashii lifts him into an Atomic Drop, and then he hits a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. He tries to go for the cover, but Holly pulls him off of Carter!

Chad: Holly holds one finger up to Carter, letting him know that he gets "just one" save. Carter nods, but they join each other in pulling Hitamashii up to his feet. They do a picture perfect Double Stalling Vertical Suplex, putting Hita on the mat!

Gena: They both go down for the cover on Hitamashii!

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!!!

Gena: Unbelievable! Hitamashii kicks out, and neither one of them can believe it. They pick him up once more and drag him to the outside. They club his back multiple times as they work on another Double Vertical Suplex.

Chad: They get Hitamashii up, but Hitamashii swings down, nailing them both with a Double DDT! They land on their backs as Hitamashii rolls a little to the left. He struggles to get up, but sees Carter and Holly both with an arm draped across the other!

ONE! ONE!

TWO! TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Darlyn: Mz Holly Wood AND Helluva Bottom Carter have BOTH been eliminated! Therefore, your winner and NEW SCU Underground Champion....... HITAMASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crowd gives off a mixed reaction. Some are excited for Hitamashii's big, and unexpected, win. Some are booing due to wanting to see someone else win. Others are just in shock at how the match ended. Hitamashii, however, stands up as "Fire In Our House" by Astral Doors plays over the speakers. He holds the belt up, almost in shock. However, before the music really kicks in, he falls to his knees, staring down at the belt in his hands. He takes a long, hard minute to inspect it before rising once more and presenting it proudly in the air. He continues to celebrate as Dying Breed comes rushing into the ring to celebrate with him, and to rub it in everyone's faces.




The cameras cut to Ben Jordan, casually strolling through the backstage area when Ms. Rocky Mountains approaches him.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ben! Have you got a minute?

Ben stops and turns towards Rocky, giving her a nod.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: What a great night it's been so far.

Ben: Absolutely.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Must feel great inducting a close friend in to the Hall of Fame.

Ben: Big time. I mean I've done it a lot in my time here and really happy and proud I got to do that for a friend. She's deserved it for a long, long time and I can't think of anyone better to go in there.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: What about you? Do you think you'll be going in there soon?

Ben shrugs

Ben: You never know. Anything is possible.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: What does the future hold for you now? Will we see you back in an SCW ring?

Ben: I don't know mate. It's been a bloody long time since I have been and yeah, I got offered a chance to be in the ring on this show but I wasn't sure I'd be able to get back in time with the restrictions but me and Eves are back stateside, and will be for a while, so watch this space. Never know, I could be back before you know it.

Ben winks at Rocky as the scene fades out.




The camera returns to the ringside area with an overhead shot of SCW's famed six-sided ring. Standing inside against the far ring ropes, side by side, was ring announcer Justin Decent and referee Jasmine St. John.

Simone: Fans, we are moments away from the first of two World Championship matches to bring High Stakes XI to a close, the first up being for the World Heavyweight Championship between the reigning champion, Alex Jones and the number one contender, and former two-time champion, Jack Washington!

Adams: Man, if Jack walks away with this title as a three-time champ? You think he was hard to be around before, he'll be bloody unbearable if THAT happens!

Simone: And we are about to find out if that is going to happen so let's go to ringside!

DING DING DING!

"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.

Simone: Nobody can deny the simple fact that Jack Washington earned this title shot and has what it takes to wear the gold again. He pinned Fenris, one of only three men to accomplish that task in over three years!

Adams: Yeah but a lot of people are also saying that never would have happened and it would have been Fenris in this match, not Jack, if it wasn't for Marcus Cage.

Halocenes cover of "Hail to the king" hits and as the lyrics of the intro cut into the guitar Alex steps out wearing a black and red "wolfslair" t-shirt and his wrestling gear. He makes his way down to the ring with an arrogant sneer before leaping up onto the ring apron.

Simone: And there he is, the reigning and defending World Heavyweight Champion!

Adams: And if you heard earlier this evening - the Man of the Year! And given how much he's brought to the tab;le as the champ, he deserves both honors!

Both Jack and Alex stand in opposing corners, staring one another down as Justin steps up to begin the introductions.

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!

The crowd inside of the Garden cheers!

Justin: Introducing first - the challenger! From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing two hundred and thirty-five pounds - Jack WASHINGTON!

Jack steps out of his corner to the center of the ring, one arm raised and is greeted with a healthy dosage of both cheers as well as some scattered boos!

Justin: And his opponent! From Dallas, Texas, weighing two hundred and twenty five pounds! He is the reigning Sin City Wrestling WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Alex! JONES!

And Alex whips the belt from around his waist and hoists it up into the air in the center of the ring, meeting Jack nose to nose! The crowd cheers for the champion's introduction as Jasmine takes the time to calm things down and separate the two men. They both return to their corners where Alex hands the belt over to the official. Jasmine first presents it to Jack who slaps a hand to the plate for luck. Jasmine then holds it up high for all to see!

Adams: There it is! The biggest prize for the Superstars of SCW!

Simone: And Jack Washington has not taken his eyes off of it from the start! That is how badly he wants to be the champion once again.

Jasmine then passes the belt to the outside, to the waiting hands of Justin. She then checks both men to ensure they are ready - and she calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

The bell sounds and the match for the World Heavyweight Champion is underway! Both champion and challenger emerge from out of their corners and they begin to circle the ring, sizing one another up with a careful and critical eye. They pause and lock up, collar and elbow and straight away, the slight size advantage if Jack comes into play as he slowly manages to take control and back Alex up against the ropes. Jasmine moves in and calls for the clean break, and as Alex readies for the cheap shot, instead Jack does indeed step away with arms raised and a smirk on his face. He pats Alex on the chest in a condescending manner, but steps away and allows the champion to return to action.

Simone: Already Jack is displaying that cocky attitude that has rubbed so many Superstars the wrong way.

Adams: The worst part of it is that he backs the `tude up!

They circle again and lock up, and just as before, Jack uses his strength and leverage to force the champion back against the ropes. Again Jasmine calls for the break, but suddenly Jack finds their positions reversed. Alex uses his own leverage and expertise to counter and now he has Jack pinned against the ropes!

Simone: You know there was a time where Alex would have taken the cheap shot without hesitation.

But instead, at Jasmine's urging, Alex breaks clean just as Jack did. And just as Jack did, Alex rubs salt in the wound by reaching over and mussing his hair!

Adams: Oo! Jack did not like that!

Simone: Of course it's a whole other story when it happens to him.

Jack is fuming, feeling humiliated, and he brushes past the referee and charges the champion and Alex sees him coming and catches him in a drop toe hold, causing Jack to smack the mat face-first! Jack holds his mouth, quickly checking for any loose teeth...

Simone: Sometimes I think he's more concerned about his face being messed up than regaining the championship!

Jack is on his hands and knees and quickly Alex uses this to his advantage and leaps over him for an Oklahoma roll pin fall combination!

ONE!

TWO!

Jack kicks out and immediately rolls out of the ring, breaking Alex's momentum and catching a breather, all at the same time!

Jack kicks the barricade in frustration and turns and shouts at a fan at ringside!

Adams: Is it me or does it look like maybe Jack just assumed he would have an easier time than this against Alex?

Simone: If that's the case then he's a damn fool. Alex is a decorated ring veteran and NOBODY is just going to walk all over him. Especially with the world title at stake!

Jack then turns around and his eyes widen in surprise but too late to do anything as Alex sails right through the top and middle rope and crashes into him with a suicide dive! The fans are standing at ringside with Alex leaning back against it, letting the SCW Universe pat him on the back and shoulders as he plays to them!

Adams: if anyone knows how to work a crowd to his advantage, it's Alex Jones!

Alex then grabs Jack and rolls him back inside of the ring. He takes a moment's pause to look to the fans with a smile, then climbs up onto the ring apron. But that was all the time Washington needed as he is back on his feet and he lays Alex Jones out with a discus clothesline! The blow is powerful enough to send Alex flying off of the apron and he crashes hard against the barricade!

Simone: That shot from Jack did double damage to the champion! Not only the clothesline but falling from that height into the barricade like that could have done serious damage to the champion's upper body!

Jack begins to go out after Alex but steps back at Jasmine's insistence, so that she can turn and begin her count against the champion!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

But this is just a ruse for the challenger as he brushes past the official before she can stop him and he goes right after the injured Alex Jones. Jack grabs him in a front face lock and lifts him up into the in a delayed vertical suplex....

Adams: He wouldn't...!

And after pausing in wait, even doing a pair of squats to show off to one and all, Jack falls back and Alex's already hurt back slams hard against the floor in the suplex maneuver!

Simone: He would and did! And if Jack didn't have the advantage before, he sure as hell does now!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

Jack peels Alex up off of the ringside floor and rolls him back into the ring, quickly following after him to better avoid a count out win/loss! Jack lays back across Alex's upper body with a confident smirk!

Adams: What kind of cover is that!?

ONE!

TWO

Suddenly Alex scissors his arms and rolls him back and over into a crucifix pin of his own!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Kick out by Jack!

Simone: One that almost cost Washington, that's what!

Jack is infuriated and embarrassed! Both men are up and Jack charges in for a clothesline but Alex ducks under! Alex rebounds off the far side of the ring and right into a jumping calf kick on behalf of Washington, laying him out! Jack with another cover and this time a serious attempt as he hooks the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Kick out again by Alex!

Adams: Jack can't believe Alex Jones's resiliency! And neither can I! I thought that suplex on the outside would put him away!

Simone: It takes a LOT more than a suplex to put Alex Jones away, even if it was on the outside of the ring!

Seated, Jack stares at Jasmine who explains it was a two count. Jack runs both hands down his face before he stands up, dragging Alex up along with him. Jack ducks behind and sets him up for a Germans suplex, but somehow Alex lands on his feet behind him! Alex grabs him around the waist from behind and runs him into the ropes for a roll up! Jack holds on and throws the champion off and to the mat! Alex gets up and ducks the oncoming freight train that is another Jack Washington discus lariat, and as Washington rebounds off of the ropes, he is met full on in the face with a running V Trigger knee strike!

Adams: Not the face!

Alex staggers back, stunned and on his feet! Alex darts past him and into the ropes and then wipes him out with a spear! Alex with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Jack kicks out!

Rather than complain or grow frustrated, Alex immediately has Jack trapped on the mat in a Brutalizer - a scissored arm bar cross face!

Adams: In the middle of the ring! Jack has nowhere to go!

Simone: Will he tap! Alex has him all tied up!

Alex strains with all of his strength, pulling back and Jack yells out in agony of the hold but he shakes his head, refusing to give up and hand Alex the victory! Instead, slowly and painfully, Jack uses his legs to push himself around in a wider and wider circle until he is ultimately close enough to extend a boot and drape just his TOES on the bottom strand! Jasmine has no other alternative but to force the break! Alex shakes his head and stands up over him and he begins to let loose with a barrage of stiff kicks to the sternum, one right after the other! Alex then darts into the ropes and comes off with a spiked Hurricanrana! Alex rolls him over and hooks BOTH legs!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Jack gets his right shoulder up!

Adams: No! Not yet!

Simone: Christ BOTH of these men are pulling out all the stops to be able to walk away as the champion!

Alex stands up and backs away, staring Jack down and sizing him up for what is to come! The crowd cheers, rallying behind the popular champion as Jack rises! Jack then stands and turns around - Alex charges but Jack leapfrogs over him! Alex comes off the ropes and Jack catches him in a spine buster and jackknife pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-Kick out by Alex!

Simone: Yet ANOTHER near fall! What is it going to take!?

Jack stumbles out to the apron and he begins to climb! He rises on his perch on the top turnbuckle as Alex staggers to his feet and turns around - and right into a top rope missile dropkick! The impact sends Alex flying back, head over heels! Jack practically DIVES on top of him for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Jasmine breaks the count! Alex's free hand is wrapped around the bottom rope!

Adams: Jack was so intent on the pin he didn't realize how close they were to the ropes!

Simone: It is just a damn good thing Jasmine was paying attention or else we'd have a brand new World Heavyweight Champion!

Jack BELLOWS at Jasmine, showing signs of frustration! When she insists the pin was not legit, he slams his fist into the mat and drags Alex to his feet! He ducks behind the champion, ensnaring him into a rear waist lock! He lifts him up, attempting a German suplex but Alex blocks it! Jack attempts a second time and again it is blocked! Suddenly Alex counters, rolling forward into a victory roll and hooks Jack's leg, leaning all the way back!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

The crowd cheers as Alex rolls away into the corner, leaving Jack looking absolutely STUNNED!

Justin: Here is your winner - and STILL World Heavyweight Champion!!! ALEX JONES!!!!!!

Jasmine presents the championship to Alex and raises his arm to a multitude of cheers as Jack sits there and just stares off into nothing, complete disbelief etched on his face!

Adams: I don't know where Alex pulled THAT one from out of but he did! Alex is still the champion!

Simone: Jack lost his cool and in so doing, lost his focus and the veteran A;ex was able to capitalize and retain his championship!

Jack slowly rolls from the ring and holds his head, running his fingers through his hair as he takes his leave while Alex continues to celebrate inside of the ring!




Backstage, we see the bar set up with SCU star Rory Rockefeller tending bar with a full assortment of SCU and SCW stars and Bombshells lining it to get one of Rory's signature mixed drinks, alcohol provided by the Golden Ring Casino owner Daniel Morgan, as is advertised by the backdrop of the bar made to look almost like one of the many inside of the casino itself. There are a few decorative slot machines around the bar, and a few high rise tables with stools. Sitting off to one side of the bar, with a bottle of Crown Royal and two shot glasses, is Dani Weston and David Shepherd. They seem to be laughing. David sets his newly won Internet Championship on the table. Off to the side is a large screen, displaying the show going on. Dani pours the Crown into the shot glasses and screws the cap back on the bottle.

Dani: Wait, wait... Never have I ever... had my parents walk in on me in the middle of...

Before Dani can finish the sentence, David knocks back a shot and pours himself another one. He wipes at his mouth.

David: You're wrong for that. So wrong for that.

Dani: That's the name of the game, isn't it?

David rolls his eyes, but a bit of a drunk look is starting to cross his face, giving him a goofy smile.

David: Okay, okay. Never have I ever... went home with someone I just met at a bar.

Dani flips David off as she takes the shot. She pours herself another shot and stirs it with her pinky finger.

Dani: Are you sure you want to keep this up? You're looking a little droopy there, pal. Fenris never told me that his man couldn't hold his liquor.

David: I hold it just fine. It's my liver that doesn't like me drinking so much. And right now, I'm on top of the world, so my liver can go fuck itself. Bring it on.

Dani smirks at David and with a shrug of her shoulders she continues with the game.

Dani: Never have I ever dated more than one person at once.

David doesn't take the shot, causing Dani to smile in approval.

David: Testing me are you?

Dani: Hey what can I say? I've gotta look out for my white wolf.

David just smiled at Dani, before taking his turn.

David: Never have I ever fancied my friends' brother or sister.

Dani scowls at him as she takes the shot. Pouring herself another she licks her lips savouring the last one.

Dani: Dick move pal.

With a simple wink, David smiles at Dani.

Dani: Never have I ever thought of someone else while being intimate with someone.

Dani took the shot, before she shrugged unapologetically. David also takes his shot and pours their next round.

David: What? I know I used to be an altar boy, but that doesn't mean I'm even close to being perfect.

David picks the shot glass up and swirls around the Crown. He takes a sniff, trying to pretend to enjoy it, but it's clear it doesn't.

David: Okay, so... Never have I ever... won a drinking game.

Dani takes a shot, and then pours another shot, throwing it back.

Dani: I figured I should take a second shot since I'm about to win this drinking game as well. You're fucking pissed.

David's head bobs a little back and forth as his eyebrows furrow. He then begins to shake his head in slow motion.

David: Naw... No I'm not. I could go all night. Never have I ever vomited from drinking!

Dani lifts the glass to her lips and with a dreaded sigh, she knocks it back. Pouring herself another one she glared at David.

Dani: Never have I ever told someone "I love you" without meaning it.

Both kept their glasses down on the table, before lifting them to toast each other in support.

David: Never have I ever been cheated on.

Dani moved her hand away from her shot glass, she took the bottle and took a massive swig.

David: Oh, I am so, so, sorry. I... I didn't know.

Dani shrugs her shoulders, but the pain is all but absent. David reaches across the table and takes her hand.

David: Love is painful. That's why I'm so glad things are casual.

Dani: Are they, though?

David doesn't immediately understand why Dani said this, but her gaze over his shoulder prompts him to look back and he sees Fenris approaching the table. David raises his hand in the air toward Rory.

David: Another shot glass!

Fenris: I think you have had enough.

Dani: That's rich coming from you, Kristjan. Let the kid have a little fun.

Fenris takes David's shot and downs it before taking another giant swig from the bottle. David goes for the bottle, bottoms up, but only drips come out at this point. David looks disappointed.

Dani: Somebody knows how to kill a party.

Fenris: Somebody doesn't know their limits. This one needs water, ibuprofen, and rest.

David: Nooooooooouhhhh... I'm fine. I just...

David belches a little, and a look of worry comes over his face. Fenris tilts his head to the side, and Dani leans back in her stool a bit, rolling her eyes.

Dani: I guess we both win tonight.

Dani gives Fenris a coy wink as he helps David down from the stool.

Fenris: Come on. Let's get you to bed.

David doesn't protest as he grabs his belongings from the table. He kisses his knuckles and holds them out to Dani, who kisses her knuckles and does a soft fist bump. David moves along with Fenris as Dani thinks for a second. She raises her arm in the air.

Dani: Another bottle of Crown over here!




It's been a long night, and it's safe to say that a lot has happened- lives have been changed irreparably, legacies altered and matches won and lost respectively. One thing that has stayed the same though is SCW Talent Relations representative Cassiopeia Mares consistent, almost grating optimism as she delightedly talks in the general direction of the reigning and defending SCW Bombshells World Champion, the 'Painted Hurricane' herself, Amber Ryan.

In spite of what is arguably one of the biggest defenses, on the biggest possible stage, Amber seems oddly distant. Somewhat emotionally disparate, an unusual state for the otherwise vitriolic and generally mouthy onscreen champion, as the clock ticks down to the inevitable triple threat main event- a match she didn't necessarily want, but one that presents the opportunity to edge closer to records being broken. Cassiopeia rattles off information that barely reaches Amber's ears before it's lost to the background noise outside the locker room- nothing else seems to really matter as Amber stares a hole through the floor, with fingers clasped around the title belt face plate as her elbows rest on her knees.

It's not long before Amber's arguably better, and more logical half, Mac Bane enters with a small smile and a nod to the young blonde tightly clasping her folder close to her body.

Mac: Do you mind if we...

Mac motions vaguely towards Amber and then nods politely towards the door. Cassiopeia takes a moment to register, before quickly disappearing, murmuring something about continuing after the show. Something of the like, she's gone before anyone can ask for a repeat. Alone, Mac gently drops in beside Amber, the smile falling away slightly into something a little more hardened and business-esque.

Mac: What's going on Red, you've barely spoken a word to me since Thursday morning...

Forcing a half-smile, Amber relaxes her hands slightly allowing the tape around her hands to ease a little on her skin. With a slight groan, she forces herself a little closer to upright and then eventually to her feet, aligning the belt up onto her shoulder in readiness. By now, it's clear she's adjusted to the weight and everything that comes with it, in a stance that even from a distance shows that she isn't prepared to part with it easily.

Amber: I've just... It's just been a really long week. You've been away mostly, I've had this title defense and all the bullshit that comes with it.

There's an emptiness to her tone that can't quite be picked, an obvious lie buried in an honest truth that neither of them seem willing to acknowledge at this moment. Supportively, Mac takes her hand between his, squeezing in reassurance.

Amber: It's just... It's just a lot. We'll talk after tonight... I promise. Let me get past this match in one piece and then we can worry about whatever comes next- yeah?

Mac: I'll hold you to that. Now, go out there and show them how it's done, sweet girl.

Leaving one hand on hers, Mac's now free hand taps gently on the belt as though imparting something unseen to it's holder- Amber allows the flickers of a smile to dance on her lips before it fades back behind the Painted Hurricane facade... at least for now. Giving him a nod as he squeezes her hand one more time, she winks as the contact parts and Amber makes for the door- noting that Cassiopeia never strayed far enough to stay out of sight or earshot.

Murmuring under her breath, the Bombshells champion sucks down the deepest breath he can manage and hopes no one can hear her breathy sigh as she makes her way towards the inevitable bright lights.

Amber: Yeah, you do that...




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a Triple Threat Match for the Bombshell World Heavyweight Championship!!!

The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.

"YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!"

As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.

Smile Bomb by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains. She is accompanied by her wife Seleana, and the two of them make their way to the ring. Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She tosses her Shoto inspired hoodie towards her wife as she awaits the start of the match. Seleana cheers for her wife as her wife is locked in a trance.

Justin: Currently in the ring, standing in at 5'5 and weighing in at 115 pounds!! Crystal Zdunich!!!

The opening keyboard notes of "The Touch" begin on the PA system. Stan Bush's voice rings out and soon the power chords kick in to begin the song. The cameras pan around the arena, and soon, spotted in amongst the fans, is Roxi Johnson slowly making her way through them, slapping the fans five and getting patted on the shoulders as he moves through the swarm of fans. The fans continuing singing with the song as Roxi continues her journey through them, stopping and singing along with them. She treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before she is lifted on top of the fans and they crowd surf her towards the ring, imitating a superhero "flying" motion. She makes it and lands on her feet on the arena floor to which she high fives the closest fan before climbing up on the apron and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.

Justin: Her first opponent!! Standing in at 5'6 and weighing in at 132 pounds!! Roxi Johnson!!!

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.

Justin: And their opponent!! Standing in at 5'8 and weighing in at 132 pounds!! She is our SCW Bombshell Heavyweight Champion!! Amber Ryan!!!

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang as the three Bombshells stand in the six sided ring. Amber is standing in her corner of the ring, holding the ropes with both hands while daring both of the other two ladies to challenge her. Roxi moves towards the champ as Crystal stops her and tells her that she is going to take her on. The two ladies push each other before Roxi grabs the arm of Crystal and whips her into the ropes, setting her up for a Dropkick as Crystal comes off the ropes and is dropped in the middle of the ring. Roxi quickly covers her, only to have Amber to pull her off of Crystal by grabbing her hair and bashes her face first into the canvas. Crystal quickly gets to her feet as she runs to the ropes and charges in on Amber as she grabs her by the head and rolls through. Causing Amber's head to snap back hard on the canvas before Crystal gets to her feet and uses her own momentum to charge towards the other side of the ring. She jumps the ropes as she executes a Springboard Moonsault on top of the champ as she hooks the leg

ONE!

TWO!

Amber gets her shoulder off the canvas and quickly rolls to the outside of the ring as was near the edge of the ring where she shakes her head and looks up. There she sees both Roxi and Crystal run to the opposite side of the ring before charging towards the champion and execute a double suicide dive towards Amber Ryan. Connecting with the champ as that sends her into the barricades while being covered by both challengers.

Simone: So far not the opening of the match that the champ had in mind

Roxi gets to her feet first, grabs Crystal by the head and whips her over the guardrail before turning her attention to Amber Ryan. She grabs her by the arm and whips her into the ring apron before driving series of forearms into the midsection of Amber. Roxi grabs the head of Amber as she jumps the steel steps and sets her up for a Bulldog headlock. Only to have Amber grab the midsection of Roxi and tosses her onto the concrete floor as instinctively Roxi reaches behind her as she lands awkwardly on her ass. Amber quickly grabs the back of Roxi's head and drives a few elbows into the forehead of Roxi Jonson. She knees Roxi in the spine before turning in front of her and delivers a knee into the face. Amber turns around, only to see Crystal jumping the guardrail and jumps towards Amber for a hurricanrana. But the champion catches her and drops her with a Powerbomb on the concrete floor before lifting her up again and slams her into the ring apron before dropping her on the concrete floor.

Adams: I think that Amber has gotten the momentum on her side now Belinda.

Amber grabs Roxi by the hair as she rolls her back inside the ring before following her back in. There Drew Patton looks on as Amber sits on top of Roxi, straddling her chest while grabbing her by the head with one hand and blasts her with forearm shots to the face, trying to draw blood on the forehead. Roxi counters it when she locks her both legs underneath the armpits of Amber and uses her leg strength to push her on her back on the canvas. She slowly sits up when we see Crystal slide in the ring and charges past Roxi before hitting a running knee into the face of Roxi as she was about to cover the champion. Crystal quickly disposes Roxi out of the ring before covering Amber Ryan

One! Two! Amber kicks out as she sits up, Crystal grabs her by the head and executes body scissors around the waist of Amber as she attempts to draw a submission victory as Amber attempts to break the hold with her arms.

Simone: Interesting tactic from Crystal, something we have not seen from her often in the past. Amber drives elbows into the inside thigh of Crystal, trying to loosen the grip that she had on the champion before Crystal counters by wrapping an arm around the chin of Amber and pushes her down to the canvas on her side. Amber reaches instinctively towards the ropes, but Dew watches on as under Triple Threat rules there is no rope break. Amber grabs the ropes and starts to pull herself closer and closer to the edge of the ring as she tries to break the grip that Crystal has by rolling to the outside.

Simone: I wonder whether Amber can break the hold that way. Amber's head is underneath the bottom rope as she pulls her to the outside when suddenly we see Roxi come out of nowhere and dropkicks in the face of Crystal. Causing her to let go off the champ as she rolls on the outside while holding on to her ribs because of the bodyscissors earlier. Roxi grabs the head of Crystal and sets her up for a Snap Suplex and goes for a quick cover as Drew Patton jumps past them to set himself up for the three count.

ONE!

TWO!

Crystal kicks out, causing Roxi to jump up to her feet and executes a standing moonsault on top of Crystal and goes for another cover

ONE!

TWO!

Again Crystal kicks out, only this time it is less as impactful as the one before. Roxi grabs the legs of Crystal and locks her in a Boston Crab submission hold as Crystal tries to bridge her upper body off the canvas in an attempt to execute some reversal.

Adams: Can she get out of this hold???

Simone; There's Amber!!

The champ has rolled back in the ring, holding a chair in her hand as she blasts it across the back of Roxi Johnson. This causes her to let go off the hold as Crystal was close to tap out to the submission hold. Amber drops the chair as she grabs Roxi Johnson and sets her up for a DDT on the steel chair as she drives her down hard before going for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE....

Roxi raises her shoulder off the canvas just moments before Drew Pattons hand hit the canvas for the third time. Amber looks up at Drew with a look of shock on her face, asking him if it wasn't a count of three with her hand as Drew tells her that it was nothing more than a count of two.

Adams: Tough break for Amber, but we all know that you don't beat Roxi Johnson without a fight.

Amber turns her attention towards Crystal and smiles, using her legs to push Roxi out of the ring and turns her attention back to Crystal.

Simone: I don't like the look on the face of the champ.

Amber grabs the bend chair and places it behind Crystal on the canvas. She turns her attention to Crystal and locks her for her finisher.

Adams: She's going for the Original Sin on the chair!!!!

Locking Crystal for a Double Underhook DDT as she sets her up for the finisher. Only to have Crystal somehow use the remainder of her strength to push the champ into he turnbuckles before being dropped on the chair. Crystal drives the champ into the turnbuckles in an attempt to break the grip that Amber still has on her. Amber finally lets go, causing Crystal to get up only to be levelled by a spinning back elbow into the face.

Simone: Amber set Crystal up!!!

Amber shakes her head as she suddenly sees Roxi Johnson getting behind Crystal, setting her up for a German Overhead Suplex into a bridge as she sets her up for a three count.

ONE!

TWO!

THR....

The three count is broken when Amber Ryan executed a stomp on the midsection of Roxi. The impact of the blow causes the oxygen to flee the body of Roxi as she lets go off the hold on Crystal. Amber immediately grabs the seemingly lifeless body of Crystal and executes Original Sin before turning her attention towards Roxi Johnson, grabbing her with the same move and executes Original Sin on Roxi Johnson before going for the cover as Drew Patton jumps over and administers the three count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match and STILL Sin City Bombshell World Heavyweight Champion!!! Amber Ryan!!!!

Amber's hand is raised in victory as she stares down at the carnage that she had inflicted upon her opponents before rolling out of the ring and retrieving her belt.

Adams: Another title defence in a very vicious way. Amber is truly a dominant champion.

Simone: I totally agree Jason, who is capable to stop this woman and take away the championship belt away from her??

Amber walks to the back before turning on the ramp and stares down at her opposition and smiles before turning to the back.

Simone: What a way to end! High Stakes XI has been incredible. We would like to thank you all for joining us. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying goodnight every body!

The camera fades to Amber raising the SCW Bombshell championship above her head.
