Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and the sound of a cat roaring rattles through the arena. "BLACK CAT" by Janet Jackson blasts through the speakers, echoing throughout the arena, 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. Seleana enters the ring and plays the crowd before she settles into a corner to await the arrival of Krystal Wolfe.

Adams: Next to make her way to the ring, she is from Adelaide, Australia, and she comes into this match at five feet five inches and one hundred twenty-five pounds, please give a great Las Vegas welcome to "THE SA SLAYA" Krystal Wolfe!!!

The slow intro for "BENEATH" by Delain is heard over the speakers int he arena. Once Dianne Leah's vocals kick in Krystal emerges from the back with an expressionless look on her face. Krystal acknowledges the crowd before she makes her way down the ramp. When Krystal arrives at the ring she climbs the steps and enters the ring. Krystal takes up a corner opposite of Seleana as she waits for the match to start.

Simone: Krystal is going to make short work of Seleana.

Adams: Too bad we cannot bet money on matches we are commentating on because for sure I would love to have you place a bet on Krystal then have to pay me my winnings when you lose the bet when Krystal loses.

Simone: Dream on Jason!

Referee Drew Patton calls Seleana and Krystal to the center of the ring. He runs down the rules of this match in that a win is obtained by pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification. Referee Patton asks both if they understand how he is going to officiate the match and both inform him they understand. Referee Patton sends both wrestlers back to their corners and they are to come out fighting when the Timekeeper rings the bell. Seleana and Krystal return to their corners to await the bell to officially start the match.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Here we go!

Simone: And we can go wave good-bye to Seleana Zdunich when Krystal defeats her.

At the sound of the bell from the Timekeeper Seleana and Krystal come out of their corners. When they arrive at the center of the ring they both hold back for a short time to try to intimidate the other. After having a short stand-off Krystal runs at Seleana with her shoulder leading to get an early blow on Seleana. While Krystal is charging we watch as Seleana steps to the side and Krystal misses the shoulder hit. As she passes by Seleana she is caught with a leg sweep by Zdunich which drops Krystal face first to the mat. Seleana is quick to jump on the lower back of Krystal then Seleana grabs Krystal around the head to lock her into a Camel Clutch. As Seleana pulls back on the neck of Krystal we see Referee Drew Patton step in and he asks Wolfe if she wants to submit and she loudly proclaims HELL NO!!! so Referee Patton steps back and lets the two continue. Fortunately for Krystal Wolfe when Seleana Zdunich locked her into the Camel Cluts they were close to the ring ropes. Krystal struggles to drag herself, with Seleana on her back, towards the ropes and when she is close enough she manages to reach out and grab the ropes. This causes Referee Patton to step up and demand that Seleana Zdunich release her hold on Krystal Wolfe. When Seleana does not immediately release the hold Referee Patton starts a count and if Zdunich doesn't release the hold before he gets to a five count she will be disqualified.

ONE!

Adams: An early and impressive move on the part of Seleana Zdunich to try to get an early win in this match.

Simone: It is nice to try for a quick victory but Seleana is going to get disqualified if she doesn't break the hold on Krystal.

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

At the count of FOUR Seleana releases her hold on Krystal and then she stands up and moves back a few feet. Referee Patton reprimands Zdunich for not obeying his demand for a break but Seleana replies that since she had until a five count before being disqualified that gave her up to a four count to punish Krystal longer. Referee Patton turns away from Seleana and he walks over to Krystal, who is still in the ropes, to check on her status. Wolfe informs Drew Patton that she will be okay but she would like a little bit of time to get out of the ropes and back on her feet and Referee Patton agrees.

Simone: That was one count away from being a Disqualification on Seleana Zdunich.

Adams: Seleana knew what she was doing and she knew where Referee Patron's count was at. That is not being careless or not paying attention it is playing the rules in your favor.

Krystal Wolfe comes out of the ropes but she remains backed up against the ropes. Since this is considered no longer tied up in the ropes Referee Patton motions to Seleana and Krystal to get back into the action of the match. Seleana grabs the arm of Krystal and she drags her away from the ropes to the center of the ring. She then whips Wolfe into the nearest corner where Krystal hits her back hard into the corner. Zdunich is quick to run into the corner to follow up her assault on Wolfe but she is met with a hard kick to the midsection by Krystal.

Adams: Ouch! Seleana got caught as she ran into the corner to land a blow on Krystal. That was unfortunate.

Simone: Stuff happens. Now to see what Krystal Wolfe does.

Referee Drew Patton steps in to ask Seleana if she is okay and she informs him she is fine. The Referee backs away and allows the two to continue going off on each other. The two start trading blows as Referee Patton stays close to the action to ensure there are no illegal things going on between the two. Krystal and Seleana continue trading blows and both continue to try to get the other into a position to go for the win. The two continue to trade blows and they end up in a corner but Referee Patton lets the two continue since neither is tied up in the ropes to require a break.

Adams: Looks like Seleana has the advantage over Krystal again.

Simone: If she really had an advantage over Krystal then Krystal would not have been able to get both of them to move out of the corner to the middle of the ring.

Seleana and Krystal continue trading blows looking to get the advantage over the other. The two back away from each other a short distance and then Zdunich leaps into the air and lands a kick to the side of the head of Wolfe and we near the whap of that kick. However when she drops to the mat it appears she may have hurt her ankle or lower leg in the process of landing that kick. Referee Drew Patton steps up and asks Seleana if she is okay and she waves Referee Patton off so he backs away and keeps focused on the action.

Adams: That was a hard kick by Seleana so there is a chance her ankle or lower leg is hurting a bit however I feel she will be fine.

Simone: You mean you hope she will be fine.

Seleana gets to her feet but she appears to be given attention to her ankle as she may be sore from that kick the landed on Krystal. The two go at each other again with forearm smashes, kicks to the legs of the other, and back and forth attempts to get the other into a position for a pinfall or submission. Once again the two fight their way into one of the corners and again it is Krystal Wolfe who has her back to the corner. As Wolfe is fending off the blows by Seleana we see Zdunich back off a bit and then she goes for another leap and kick to Krystal but this time lower to get a hit on her upper body. Wolfe sees the kick coming and she is able to dive to the mat and Seleana misses Krystal with the kick but, unfortunately, her foot manages to hit the turnbuckle hardware which is metal. Wolfe sees what just happened and the painful look on Seleana's face tells us she hurt the same ankle she hurt previous but obviously the ankle is in worse condition after this second hit.

Simone: It appears Seleana Zdunich is not going to be able to continue in this match and be effective.

Adams: This match is not over yet.

Simone: I feel it is over.

Seleana slowly removes her foot and leg from the corner ropes. As she rolls over to be able to get to her feet she is slow to get up as it is apparent her ankle is hurting. Zdunich does manage to get to her feet but she is holding onto the corner ropes to maintain her balance. Wolfe steps in and grabs Zdunich by the arm and pulls her out of the corner. Then she she gets her to the center of the ring Krystal lands a hard sweeping kick to the hurting ankle of Seleana and Zdunich drops to the mat. Wolfe then grabs the injured ankle of Seleana and the puts a lot of pressure on the ankle. Referee Drew Patton asks Seleana if she wants to submit and she yells out NOOOOO!!! so Patton allows the match to continue. Not satisfied that Seleana is not submitting Krystal turns the hold into an Angle Lock on the ankle of Seleana and she puts the pressure on the ankle. Seleana is attempting to pull herself to the ropes to get a break but since they are in the middle of the ring she is unable to escape the Angle Lock on her ankle. When Referee Drew Patton steps in again to ask Seleana if she wants to submit she does and Referee Patton immediately calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Referee Drew Patton orders Krystal Wolfe to release the Ankle Lock on Seleana Zdunich and she does. Patton orders Krystal to stand off to the side to allow room for Seleana to get up when she is ready.

Adams: Well. . .okay. . .I may have been a little bit wrong that I felt Seleana Zdunich would dominate Krystal Wolfe and win this match.

Simone: What? A little bit wrong? You were a whole lot wrong on this match!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, by submission using an Angle Ankle Lock, "THE SA SLAYA" Krystal Wolfe!!!

Referee Drew Patton raises the hand of Krystal Wolfe for the win. He then drops her hand and Krystal quickly exits the ring and heads into the backstage area. Seleana is up on her feet and although she is limping a bit she informs Referee Patton that she will be okay and that she is able to make it into the backstage area on her own. Seleana exits the ring and slowly makes her way into the backstage area.

MILES KASEY AND HELLUVA BOTTOM CARTER

It's said that the best relationships begin as close friendships. Never was that more appropriate than with the honorees of this year's Couple of the Year award. Carter's feelings towards Miles Kasey were the worst kept secret in the dressing room. Miles on the flip side was there for Carter during his worst times and the pair grew close as a result. But Carter also believed that he was not meant for someone as good as Miles – and Miles staunchly disagreed. One started as a one-sided and protective friendship evolved into something more intense, warm and most importantly – natural.

The camera cuts backstage again to see Eiley and Oz walking through the hallways, in search of their stolen championship belts. Clearly they are running out of time because Oz had already gone back to the locker room to change into his ring gear, although they weren't any closer to finding their titles. Eiley sighs, growing tired of playing the hide and seek game with their championships.

Eiley: Mikah and Kris need to keep a better eye on those children…

It was not the first time that the kids had stolen things from the champions or pulled one over on either one of them.

Eiley: Maybe we won't have to find them? Maybe it will be fine if we go out there without the championships…

Eiley shrugs her shoulders as they look under tables and in closets, hoping that the kids were hiding in their or had stashed their belts in there.

Eiley: Or we're going to have to keep our championships under lock and key when the kids are around. The only reasonable option.

Oz didn't seem as worried about it as she was as this had happened to him on more than one occasion.

Oz: They always turn back up. I mean you were carrying yours and they got it. Mine was still in my bag. They have gotten them at Jet City too. The most impressive one was when they tried burying it on the beach behind their house so that they could keep it forever. I was out there with a metal detector all night.

Eiley gives him a look that screams that she doesn't want to be looking that long for them, especially with their match coming up soon.

Eiley: They're heathens.

Eiley shakes her head.

Eiley: I feel bad for the future of SCW when they undoubtedly have to deal with the three of them….they're definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with. Especially the new baby that has both Mikah and Kris' DNA.

After a bit of looking and no hope in sight of finding the championships, Mikah is seen walking down the hallway carrying both championships this time without the newborn in her arms, giving the idea that the newborn is with Kris. Eiley and Oz are sitting on a table, slightly defeated from their search that had not been successful in finding their championships.

Mikah: You know, you two should be more responsible with your championships and not just leave them lying around for my kids to play with.

Eiley glances up to see the Hall of Famer stopping in front of them. Eiley gives Mikah a grateful look all while still feeling annoyed.

Eiley: Or maybe you should keep track of your children.

Mikah raises her eyebrows at Eiley.

Mikah: My children were just fine; they're allowed to run free backstage because everybody knows that they're not to be touched or messed with. You two should be more responsible with your things.

Eiley: Or your children should learn not to take things that don't belong to them! And Myles! He's almost EXACTLY like you! Manipulative and–

Mikah cuts Eiley off.

Mikah: Myles is nothing of the sort; he's a sweet little boy. You and Oz are just irresponsible with your things.

Mikah hands over the championship belts to the Mixed Tag Champions.

Mikah: You should be grateful that I'm even returning them instead of letting you both learn a lesson. You both would have been fined if you walked out to the ring tonight without these belts, so what you both should be saying is thank you. I never had the problem of losing my championship belts at any point in my career. And I don't think Kristopher did either, so this sounds more like a you problem than a problem with my kids.

Eiley just shakes her head as she grabs her championship belt and slings it over her shoulder.

Eiley: Fine, thank you for bringing your heathens to induce more anxiety for Olly and I. It's much appreciated.

Eiley's tone was dripping with sarcasm as she stands up off of the table and Mikah only holds an amused look on her face.

Eiley: C'mon Olly, we gotta go.

Eiley shoots Mikah another annoyed look as they walk off in direction of the ring to get ready for their match.

The camera cut backstage to where Ben Jordan can been seen lacing up his boots. Ben whistles to himself when a hand appears in front of him with a glass that looks like Whiskey. Ben stops lacing his boots and looks at the glass.

Ben: Magical booze just appearing like that... It's like I'm dreaming again.

He smells the whiskey in front of him and slightly smiles.

Ben: There's only one fella I know with a brand like that.

Ben rolls his eyes up as he tightens his boots and a wide smile appears on his face.

Ben: Alright mate!

The camera pans out to see Max Burke standing in front of him holding the glass.

Max: Hello stranger!

Ben stands up to hug Max as Max tries to keep the glass steady in his hand.

Ben: What brings you to Vegas?

Max: It's High Stakes! And I heard you had yourself a little match so I wanted to come and lend my support.

Max hands Ben the glass and Ben takes it and quickly knocks it back.

Ben: Good stuff! I'm actually glad you're here my old mate.

Ben grins towards Max but Max scrunches up his face in curiousity.

Max: Oh?

Ben stands up and looks at Max with another wide grin.

Ben: I got a match in a bit with Bulldog and his missus has been known to put her hooter in people's business, so I think I need a bit of a deterant.

Max slowly nods his head.

Ben: Walk with me here...

Ben and Max walk off screen as the camera cuts elsewhere.

EILEY AND OLIVER ZAHN

There simply could not have been a more appropriate honor than the rookie tag team that walked away with the World Mixed Tag Team Championship which was re-established in early 2023. Graduates of Jet City, Eiley and Oliver overcame all odds to not only win the championships, but as of press time, remain the unbeaten champions!

Justin: The following contest is for the SCW Mixed Tag Team Titles

"I will kill your dreams."

The voice of Kayla Richards gives way to the opening guitar riff of Bad Omens "Like a Villian" The lights flash from being on and bright to dark and switching between a dark purple and red. Kayla Richards steps out onto the stage in her gear, a black leather jacket over it, her long hair flowing down as she makes her way to the ring, she runs and slides up and across the apron on one knee before getting into the ring and putting both her hands in the air, one crossed over the other to make a "K" with her fingers before they turn into a double bird and move down to a fingergun pose pointed at the crowd.

Justin: Introducing first, the challengers, hailing from Norwich, East Anglia, England, this is "The Dreamkiller" KAYLA RICHARDS!

"DO YOU CROSS YOUR HEART WHEN YOU HOPE TO DIE?"

The lights dim down and cast the arena in a red glow, and for a moment -- only a moment -- the crowd quiets down just a smidge. The drum riff opening that carries into an aggressive rhythm of guitar chords breaks out as "Black Lungs" by Architects blares out over the P.A. System. This brings the crowd to their feet -- both in a positive and negative reaction, completely mixed.

The spotlight doesn't fall upon the stage, instead flowing across the crowd as the lyrics describe more than just a time in the world. Finn Whelan appears not from the curtain, but from one of the visitor entrances with a semi-cocky swagger written into his denim jeans. He stops at the top of the steps for a moment, a slight smirk on his face as he glances down at the people around him, blockaded off by the typical burly security guards. The crowd is not booing, but they're not exactly cheering either. He sets his eyes upon the ring below, and then makes his way down slowly, ignoring the people around him though a few of them clap him on the shoulders as he decends.

At the barrier, he slings himself over and slides immediately underneath the bottom rope and leaps to his feet in the center of the ring. He heads directly for the ropes in front of him, and hops up onto the bottom one, bouncing slightly as he looks back at the crowd, choosing a few choice words to share with them. He drops down from it, and pulls off his vest as he heads to his place against the turnbuckle, leaning into it and looking upwards at the stage, past his brow as his music fades out.

Justin: Her partner, currently residing in New York, "The Virulence" FINN WHELAN!

Nightmare (Reprise) by Halsey begins to play and the lights flicker a few times before they stay on and Eiley walks out onto the stage. She smirks before stopping at the top of the ramp, her hands on her hips. She stands there for a few seconds with her hands on her hips before she walks down the ramp, ignoring the fans as she walks to the ring. She stops at the bottom of the ramp and looks around before walking to the steel steps and jobs up them before stepping onto the apron and then getting into the ring between the top and middle rope. She stands in the middle of the ring and does a simple pose before moving off to one of the turnbuckles and climbs up and sits on the top turnbuckle.

The lights dim and fog rolls out in a thick cloud over the entrance area of the stage as the music starts. The fans are treated with a spotlight that kicks on just under the stage as the lift activates. Oz leans his left side and puts his elbow onto his knee, then through the smoke, his outline is slowly raised until it becomes a black figure standing at the top of the ramp.

Justin: Their opponents, representing Jet City, they are the SCW Mixed Tag Team Champions! First, from Honolulu, Hawaii, EILEY! And her partner, weighing in at 185lbs, he is Oliver Zahn!

As the lift becomes level with the stage the lights are immediately flipped on, and it is as if the cloud never existed. Oz steps forward and is clearly seen in his wrestling attire. His bright purple gloves are the first thing the fans notice. He is wearing white pants with purple trim and a black shirt that reads Jet City South across the front.

He reaches ringside and before sliding in the ring takes off his shirt and tosses it into the crowd.

Simone: Well, Jason we are literally moments away from this match. The champions work well together. Jet City has been dominating since the return of the Mixed Tag Division. Not a single team has been able to even crack the armor.

Adams: While the challengers can barely stand to be in the same BUILDING let alone the same ring, somehow Finn and Kayla have managed to make it work and get this shot on SCW's biggest show of the year.

Both women on both sides insist on starting the match first.

DING DING DING!

As the bell rings, the match begins with Eiley and Kayla squaring off in the ring. They engage in a series of fast-paced maneuvers, each trying to gain the upper hand. Eiley manages to showcase her agility with a series of quick chain wrestling style moves showing off her technical expertise, even trying to wrap Kayla up in a quick "Finch's Song" but Kayla manages to counter out quickly before Eiley throws a front kick to her opponent's stomach. Eiley goes for a DDT but Kayla counters with her with a little bit harder hitting ability, and through all the attempted flash by Eiley, Kayla finally has enough and lays in with a knife edge chop that echoes through the MGM Grand.

Adams: That was damn near a soul catcher of a chop there. I don't know if Eiley really expected Kayla to come out of that after trying to show her up.

Simone: Kayla has zero patiences for anything. Flash is at the top of that list.

Outside the ring, Oliver Zahn and Finn Whelan are itching to get into the action. Kayla pulls Eiley up to her feet and lays in several rounds of forearms into Eiley before she gets basically slung across the ring and Kayla tags in Finn, and he steps into the ring to face Oliver. The two men lock up in the center of the ring, displaying their power and determination.

Adams: Two bulls locking horns.

Simone: And absolutely no love lost! You saw their back and forth on twitter right?

Adams: X, Belinda.

Simone: Don't care, Jason

Oliver gains the early advantage, he whips Finn into the ropes and comes back with a leg lariat that sends Finn sprawling. Finn, gets up to his feet quickly for a moment only to be met with a flying Oz with a Springboard DDT. The momentum sends Finn out of the ring for a moment to shake the cobwebs loose and he slides back in quickly with Oliver trying to come at him with a flying forearm but Finn cuts him off, fights back with a jaw-dropping back elbow, followed up by a quick lung blower.

Simone: Ok this got fast in a big damn hurry.

Finn backs up into his corner, Kayla tags herself in. Eiley, fully recharged, also re-enters the fray. The two women resume their battle, trading powerful strikes. Kayla quickly begins to light Eiley up with several martial arts kicks. When she goes for the death blow, Eiley's ducks and goes for a quick schoolboy.

ONE!

Kickout!

Kayla kicks out with such force it sends Eiley back to the ropes and she goes for a running knee smash which connects and she goes for another pin.

ONE!

TW..!

Kickout!

Eiley quickly gets up and pulls Kayla up and brings her up on her shoulders, she goes to deliver a GTS only for Kayla to land on her feet, take Eiley's leg and deliver a hellacious Dragon Screw Leg Whip that causes Eiley to roll to her corner looking for a quick tag.

Adams: Men part duex!

Simone: I am sitting here stunned as to how fast the pace of this match picked up. Neither team are holding back.

Adams: Anyone that takes the other lightly knows that those titles will slip through their hands.

The moment arrived for Oliver to enter the ring again, Finn doesn't even wait and hops right back into the ring and goes right after Oliver, Oliver ducks real quick and Finn crashes into the corner and Oliver can't resist by going for a quick scoop pin.

ONE!

Kickout!

Oliver uses the momentum to send Finn around with an arm drag but Finn reverses, holding on, picking Oliver up and dropping him with a brainbuster on his knee. Whelan goes for a pin

ONE!

TW...!

Kickout!

Simone: Damn that brainbuster was vicious.

Finn pulls Oliver to his feet, kicking him on the way up followed up with a couple of slaps to the face as well and picks Oliver up, he swings it around for a Michinoku Driver but suddenly Oliver clamps his legs around Finn's head and flips him around in a lucha style take down and goes for that quick pin.

Simone: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!

Adams: Effective?

ONE!

TWO!

TH...!

Kickout!

Simone: Oh that was so close!

Adams: Oliver out of absolutely nowhere with that...I don't even know what to call it.

Oliver quickly tags Eiley back in. Kayla comes back in in a split second and Eiley is quickly cut off with a running corner drop kick. Eiley stumbles out and Kayla goes for the Ghostlock dragon sleeper but Eiley manages to reverse out of it, with a snapmare and quickly moves to hit Kayla with her finishing move, the "Eiley Stomp,". Eiley goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Finn breaks up the pin just in time by pulling on Kayla's leg giving her the ability to kick out.

Adams: You know, I know Kayla's pride will probably give me a choice of 4-letter words right now but she needs to get to Finn and it may not hurt for Eiley to get to Oliver as well.

Simone: I know they just got back in but an excellent point.

Eiley tries to hook up Finich's Song once again but Kayla manages to hip toss Eiley to get out of it and delivers a quick Dreamkiller and both women drop.

Simone: The looks on the men's faces tell it all. They are standing there shocked and trying to get their partners to tag it in.

Adams: The ref is counting!

ONE!

TWO!

Both women start to stir and crawl over one another to head to their corners.

THREE!

FOUR!

Eiley reaches Oliver first just a split second before Kayla gets to Finn

Simone: HERE WE GO!

Oliver and Finn were tagged back in. Oliver showcased his abilities, executing a picture-perfect crossbody off the top rope. Oliver sees his opportunity and jumps up to the top rope and hits the Shakedown. The crowd gets on his feet as Oliver looks out onto and calls for the JCS.

Simone: Is this it?!?

Just as Zahn comes in, Whelan cuts him off with a pele kick that stuns Oliver. Finn recovers quickly and catches Oliver with his devastating finisher, the "REVELATION 6:4" Oliver crashes to the mat, and Finn goes for the cover. The referee counts!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: NEW SCW MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! FINN WHELAN AND KAYLA RICHARDS!!!!

Simone: We have new Mixed Tag Team Champions! Limitless did all they could but again, new champions!

Adams: If I was the new champs, I'd go and hide those things right away, cause Mikah and Kris' young uns have already stole the belts once tonight.

Simone: No doubt they'll be calling their shot on the next show.

The crowd erupts into a mix of cheers and applause as Finn and Kayla celebrates their hard-fought win as the ref hands them the Mix Tag Titles and raises their hands as Eiley checks on Oilver after getting pinned.

CARMEN AND BLAIR

Whether they are technically classified as 'managers' or 'valets,' the simple fact remains that the two wives of Michael Harris have both played an integral role in their husband's success inside of the ring. Neither woman shied away from constantly interfering in his matches or causing a distraction in order to lend an indirect hand, and they always seemed to get away with it! Critics wonder if without these two at his side, would Harris have been as successful as he was? This award seemingly answers that!

In the brand lobby of the MGM Grand garden Arena, hordes of fans -- both young and old -- were gathered in huddled lines, eagerly awaiting the chance to meet their absolute favorite Superstars and Bombshells of Sin City Wrestling. And one of the best things about the annual "Grand Prix of Professional Wrestling aka High Stakes was that stars from the past often make appearances for the fans -- and perhaps one of the reasons so many fans were gathered at this point in time for this Meet N Greet was the fact that the uber popular Despayre was sitting at a long table with various 8x10s and souvenirs for purchase to be signed, and the chance for a photo op might just pop up as well!

Despy as he was affectionately coined by those closest to him finishes a little photo op with a young fan and he sits back down, all smiles and ready for the next fan.

Despayre: You were right, Angel! This is lots of fun! And I'm not doing too shabby. How about you?

Despayre's words are for the seat next to him and the world's most popular teddy bear Angel, was sitting in a chair of his own, on a stack of phone books. On the table in front of Angel are his own 8x10s, stacks of his famed "Beware the Stare" t shirt from SCWShop.com and a paw print for pawtographs! Despayre looks up at his impressive line, and then at the one of fans looking to meet Angel. Despayre stands up and climbs up onto his chair, inspecting the MUCH longer line in front of Angel, a line that stretches clear across the lobby and out the front doors of the Arena itself!

Despayre sighs and climbs back down and has a seat again, staring at his bestest buddy in the whole wide world.

Despayre: You show off!

Bill Barnhart is seen walking down the hallways in the backstage area on his way to the staging area to be ready for his match against Ben Jordan. Bill has a very confident stride as he struts towards the staging area. A roving camera person catches up with bill and Bill decides to take advantage of the camera time. Bill keeps walking while talking into the camera.

Bill: It is nice that my match with Ben Jordan is two matches before Bea's match against Alexandra Calaway and Georgie Robertson. My amazing performance against Ben Jordan will give Bea extra power to walk into her match as a contender for the Bombshell Roulette Championship and exit the ring as the newly crowned Bombshell Roulette Champion. Do you think that is being too arrogant on my part? Nah! I'm not being arrogant I'm being realistic.

Bill stops at an intersection in the hallways and he is directed to make a turn to get to the staging area and he takes that turn.

Bill: Bea is overly sensitive about the fact that I'm a two-time Roulette Champion and she has yet to obtain the Bombshell Roulette Championship. I am confident that Bea will walk out of her match with the Bombshell Roulette Championship around her waist. But enough about Bea and her match. I want to tell you what is going to happen after I defeat Ben Jordan.

Bill arrives at the staging area and he is told where he is to wait to make his entrance for his match. He looks into the camera to give his final comments before going into his match with Ben Jordan.

Bill: Bea pay attention to how I take control of Ben Jordan in my match and how I end up defeating him. Then take what I presented to you and use it to your advantage to defeat Alexandra Calaway and Georgie Robertson. I'm rooting for you Bea!

The backstage staff inform Bill that his entrance is coming up quickly so they get Bill into position to be ready when they announce him.

Justin Decent: The following match is scedualed for one fall…indroducing first

The opening guitar riff to "Blame it on the Boom Boom" by Black Stone Cherry starts to play. The riff repeats itself once more. A British flag appears on the screen, waving with a gray filter and the lyrics kick in.

The familiar face of Ben Jordan appears on the screen. The fans instantly burst in to cheers as a smiling Ben Jordan appears at the top of the ramp, dressed in a white shorts with matching knee pads and boots. Ben looks around the crowd, his trademark smile on his face. He turns his head to the left, winking at the crowd before pointing to the curtain. The crowd look as Max Burke appears at the top of the ramp! The crowd cheer as Max moves towards Ben, the tow hugging before slowly walking down the ramp. He moves to the left, running his hand along the fans, high fiving as many as possible, before moving to the right and doing the same. Ben stops in front of a fan with a phone and moves next to them, allowing them to take a selfie with the smiling Englishman.

Justin Decent: Making his way down the aisle! Being accompanied to the ring by Max Burke.... From London, England, weighing 220 pounds -- Ben Jordan!

Adams: I Can't believe Ben has got Max Burke to accompany him!

He stands outside the ring, looking up at ring as Max moves up in front of him, before moving to the steps and jumping up them. He ducks down and in to the ring through the middle and top rope and spins in to the corner as Max joins him in the ring, climbing on the top rope and raising his hands. He quickly jumps down and moves towards the center of the ring, talking with Max.

Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to Bea so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.

Justin Decent: And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by his wife Bea Barnhart, standing 6'4 and weighing in at 240 pounds…BULLDOG BILL BARNHART

DING DING DING!

Bill and Ben circle around each other. Ben has a childish grin on his face as he looks around at the crowd and get some riled up. Bill, on the other hand rubs his hands together, looking Ben Jordan up-and-down with a smile on his face ready to attack. They move towards each other in the centre of the ring and Bill steps forward. Going to grab Ben looking for a standard collar and elbow tie up. Ben though is able to duck down and under Bill before popping back up and throwing his arms out to the side to again get on the crowds. Good side. Bill shakes his head and rolls his eyes obviously in no mood for Bens usual cocky bullshit. But Ben bounces on the balls of his feet, showing off his superior athleticism.

They go to lock up again and this time. Ben slides down and drops to 1 the booking his arm around bills mid section before popping up and pulling bill into aside headlock. Bill backs up into the ropes and shoots Ben off and as Ben comes back, Bill slams his shoulder into Ben, dropping him down. Ben kips up straight off his back to his feet and shrugs with a week. Bill throws his right arm out from the side, going for a lariat, but Ben Docs on direct hits the roads and leaps in the air with a impressive looking dropkick. He hits Bill Square in his barrel, chest sending the big man back against the ropes. Then pops up again and bounces on the balls of his feet before pumping a fist in the air causing bill to lash outand kick the bottom rope in anger,

Miles: You know babe, one could be forgiven for thinking you were trying to hide away from everyone.

Carter shakes his head and sighs, extending his legs.

HBCarter: Not hiding. I just needed a breather away from things. Ever since we got to the arena, I've been bombarded by reporters and fans and staff.

Miles smiles, realizing his man just has a classic case of butterflies.

Miles: Small wonder why. This is your biggest match since you signed to SCW. Of course people are going to be focused on you.

Carter shrugs.

HBCarter: try the biggest match of my career. Even in SCU, I never had this much attention.

Miles: Well you better get used to it, babe. especially when you win the gold tonight. Everyone is going to want a piece of you.

Carter turns to Miles with a coy smile, one of which Miles matches easily.

Miles: But uh ... I get first dibs!

Carter slides his legs over the edge of the crates and Miles lends his man a hand in helping him down to the floor, but he does not let go as his arms remain wrapped around Carter's waist in a protective and warm embrace. Miles steals a quick kiss before drawing his head back.

HBCarter: It's just ... after everything that's happened this week. I'm afraid my head isn't where it should be.

Miles: You're going to do great.

HBCarter: You think so?

Miles: I wouldn't have said so if I didn't mean it.

Carter sighs and Miles wraps him up in one of those famous hugs of his, when we hear another voice in the vicinity.

Pussy Willow: Excuse me, Carter? Miles? Am I interrupting?

HBCarter: No, we were just standing here waiting for you to show up.

Pussy Willow: Oh that's sweet.

Pussy Willow steps closer as Carter rolls his eyes at his sarcasm going right over the head of the buxom blonde, and Miles giving his man a playful elbow into the arm to 'be nice'.

Pussy Willow: Although it would have been easier if you were around the more accessible areas. Everyone has been looking for you. Are you excited about tonight's big Main Event?

HBCarter: I don't know if the word 'excited' is entirely appropriate, but I have to admit I am looking forward to it. I've wanted another chance at the championship ever since I had my shot at J2H. I just never thought that my next chance at the World Heavyweight Championship would be in these circumstances.

Pussy Willow: Really? There are many who say that you were the catalyst for what happened and the circumstances for tonight's Main Event?

HBCarter: Me? Why?

Pussy Willow: Well you were the last person to get a pin fall win over Michael Harris, and even if the title wasn't at stake in that match, his reaction to that loss is what cost him everything. His SCW career. His championship.

Carter shares a look with Miles.

HBCarter: Oh I bet J2H is just loving me right about now.

Causing Miles to snerk a subdued laugh.

Pussy Willow: Well even if your win indirectly cost J2H a one on one match for the championship, I am certain that Goth, Austin James Mercer, Jack Washington and Alexander raven are more than grateful for tonight's opportunity!

HBCarter: Yeah they really owe me a fruit basket.

Pussy Willow smiles and pats Carter's arm.

Pussy Willow: Anyway Carter, I just wanted to wish you luck and let you know you have about half a dozen more reporters wanting to speak with you. And a few fans with backstage passes have been asking to meet you and Miles both.

Miles: Well...!

HBCarter: How do we say no to that?

Pussy Willow gives the two men a smiling wink as Miles, his hand on Carter's back, steers him around and back up the hallway to continue the evening.

The cameras catch up to "Stoner" Scott Oliver in the backstage area standing outside the locker room of Bombshell World Champion, Courtney Pierce. He appears to be nervous about what kind of mood the champion might be in, but taps his knuckles on the door anyways, and hopes for the best. Almost immediately the door pops open, but the face that peeks through the small crack in the door is not the champion, but her wife.

Ruby: We thought that we smelled you coming…

Stoner, not at all phased by her words, takes that as a good sign. If they knew he was coming, and they still opened the door, maybe there was a chance that he could get a word with the champion without being berated for it.

Stoner: I was just hoping to get a few words with Court about everything that happened yesterday.

Ruby holds up her index finger to him, asking for just a moment, and then closes the door. There is muffled conversation from inside, but after a few seconds the door swings all the way open. The champion, with her title draped over her shoulder, comes through the doorway, and looks Stoner up and down.

Court: Bold of you showing up when I have a title defense tonight. I thought all of you people knew that I don't really like to be bothered when there's important shit going on.

Scott nods in agreement with her, but proceeds to ask his question anyways.

Stoner: I was just wondering if you cared to comment on the fact that you blamed Julianna for something that former Sin City Bombshell, Andrea Hernandez was actually responsible for.

Court shrugs her shoulders, which allows Stoner to breathe a sigh of relief. She has a history of blowing up at him when he asks questions that she doesn't like, and he had been concerned that all of this was a bad idea.

Court: Look, I think I talked enough about how all this social media shit isn't actually important. Twitter, or whatever the fuck it is called now, will be gone within a year, so the people that put hang on every post there are just wasting their time. That being said, it looks like I messed up.

She shrugs again, and lets out a sigh before attempting to explain herself.

Court: This shit was months ago, and it's not like I can actually see who has who blocked. Julianna was tagging me for attention. Apparently Andrea did as well, or maybe vice-versa. I misremembered which one set Roxi off. Neither of them were saying anything all that different from one another anyways, so it was an honest mistake. Nothing more. Nothing less. Don't read more into than there actually was.

The interviewer hadn't expected such a straight forward answer from the champion, but once he got it he was emboldened to press his luck.

Stoner: Does that change your opinion of your opponent now that you've been corrected?

In response, Court laughed in his face without making any attempt to stop herself.

Court: In a word: no. If anyone was actually listening to the point that I was making on Friday, I said that Julianna is just like one of dozens of bitches that come into this company with the same attitude. Andrea is a perfect example, but so are people like Polly Playtime, Chelsea Payne, Celeste or most of The Mean Girls. Those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head. They come in. They talk shit. They flame out. I may have misremembered a tweet or two, but my point stands.

Scott, possibly pressing his luck too far, decides to ask a follow-up question the moment that Court finishes in order to prevent her from trying to close the door in his face.

Stoner: You were pretty harsh on Friday. Shouldn't you maybe apologize to your opponent for the mix up?

Court laughs, and shakes her head.

Court: I don't intend to apologize to her for the beating I am going to put her through later on, so no. I think she's a big girl and can handle a few mean words. Otherwise she's going to need to get into a new line of work.

Scott appeared poised to try and extend the conversation with another question, but as soon as he tried, Court reached out and slapped the microphone out of his hand with a smirk. When he bent down out of the frame to pick it up, she closed the locker room door. Once he is back up in the frame, he turns back to where Court should be, only to finally notice that she is gone. He rolls his eyes, and turns back to the camera.

Stoner: …apparently that is all the time that Bombshell World Champion Court Pierce has for us tonight. We'll see if she can survive her biggest challenge as champion later tonight!

Justin: The following match is set one fall!

Adams: Here we go, a match much anticipated for the evening!

Simone: It's always much anticipated with these two. How could it not be?

Adams: They are two of the best SCW has ever seen!

Simone: Exactly and that always brings anticipation, excitement and expectations. Now we see how they live up to it. Not IF but HOW!

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

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

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

Adams: Samantha Marlowe is in the building!

Simone: The crowd is always happy to see her!

Adams: She's never let them down.

Simone: Damn right!

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 the match to start.

Adams: And Mercedes Vargas has arrived!

Simone: And the crowd is now primed and pumped for this one.

Adams: It's time!

Simone: There's about to be an asswhooping going on! It's just a matter of how bad they get tuned up now!

DING DING DING!

Vargas and Marlowe stare at each other across the ring as the crowd cheers the fight on. Marlowe and Vargas step over to each other and somehow seemingly intensify the competitive juices between each other without ever saying a word between the two of them. The referee backs out of the way as the two competitors nod and lock-up in a traditional collar and elbow tie-up. Vargas looks like she might just have an advantage but Marlowe manages a deep arm drag. Vargas flies through the air and lands with a thud where Marlowe goes to put on a standard arm bar. Vargas snapmares her over. Marlowe hits hard into the seated position. Vergas jumps and hits a basement dropkick between the shoulder blades. Marlowe tumbles over onto her side grimacing in pain from the impact. Vargas jumps on for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

MARLOWE KICKS OUT!

Vargas tries to take a full mount. Marlowe goes to block it but Vargas slips over and takes the position. Marlowe tries to block the incoming shots even as Vargas fires away more and more. Marlowe rolls Vargas over into a cradle.

ONE!

TWO!

VARGAS KICKS OUT!

Both competitors get to their feet and Marlowe gets a wicked roundhouse kick that knocks Vargas right back on her ass hard. Marlowe drops an elbow to the muh that makes Vargas bounces on the mat from the impact. Marlowe hooks her for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

VARGAS KICKS OUT!

As the two stand up, Marlowe moves in behind Vargas and takes her to the ropes for an O'Connor roll. Marlowe ends up on top and the referee dives into position.

ONE!

TWO!

VARGAS KICKS OUT!

Marlowe is propelled forward towards the ropes. She jumps into a springboard. Vargas gets up just in time to hit Be Still My Heart. The kick connects on Marlowe out of midair and Marlowe crashes to the mat. Vargas jumps on for a cover.

ONE!

TWO!

MARLOWE GETS A SHOULDER UP!

Adams: These two are going all out for it!

Simone: I mean, Mercedes might have a chip on her shoulder after that cage match a few weeks ago that Sam won. There's no way payback isn't ringing somewhere in her head given how Mercedes tends to take such things.

Adams:No, I would imagine not. That was an electrified cage they were forced into and they beat the hell out of each other then. They seem to be intent on going off on each other tonight too.

Simone: It's Mercedes Vargas and Sam Marlowe, of course they're going to do that tonight. It's two of the best we've ever seen on the biggest show of the year. They're not just going to crap out a giant turd in the punch bowl for the world to see and smell! They're going to try and make everyone talk about them when the night is over and they're going for it right now!

Vargas tries for Divine Mercy and Marlowe pulls her down into an inside cradle. Vargas kicks out without any count being made. She jumps up to her feet and lands a dropkick to the still seated Marlowe. Marlowe goes over and rolls to the tropes. Marlowe grabs the ropes and starts to pull herself to her feet. Vargas runs over and jumps Marowe through the ropes to the apron. Marlowe pulls herself up to her feet and Vargas snaps off a wicked reverse knife-edge chop that sends Marlowe tumbling off the apron to the floor. Marlowe starts to get up, shaking her head to regain her bearings as she does so. Vargas smirks and then takes off running across the ring. Marlowe has just gotten to her feet on the floor when Vargas reaches the proper position to launch herself over the top rope for a tope suicida. Vargas crashes into Marlowe like a guided torpedo set to kill. Marlowe is smashed back into the guardrail and bounces hard off the barricade. Marlowe lands on all fours and Vargas grabs her with both hands. Vargas throws Marlowe back into the ring under the bottom rope, following behind with a sense of desperation as if a window is open and will close soon if she doesn't hurry. Vargas jumps on top for a cover, hooking the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO!

MARLOWE GETS A SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SECOND!

Vargas smacks the mat in frustration as Marlowe rolls over onto her side to prevent another immediate cover attempt. Vargas goes to pull Marlowe up and gets pulled into a backslide attempt. Vargas tries to overpower Marlowe but can't overcome the angle and goes over to the mat.

ONE!

TWO!

VARGAS KICKS OUT!

As Marlowe gets up, Vargas does as well. Vargas jumps into a sunset flip. Marlowe tries to block it but this time it's her turn to be unable to overcome the leverage angle.

ONE!

TWO!

MARLOWE KICKS OUT!

The two stand up and Vargas snaps off a wicked reverse knife-edge chop. Marlowe recoils from the impact and turns away. She fires back in kind. Vargas recoils and turns away. Vargas comes back with another chop. Again, Marlowe recoils from the impact. She fires back and the two start trading shots, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas! Marlowe starts to stumble away and Vargas jumps into a victory roll.

ONE!

TWO!

MARLOWE KICKS OUT!

Adams: They're just starting to beat the shit out of each other now!

Simone: Starting? This was the inevitable conclusion with these two the entire time. They were always going to devolve and default back into a fight because it's how things with them always go. It's just a matter of how bad this gets before the end for somebody finally comes!

Adams: How bad do you think this gets?

Simone: With these two? Who knows. The end could come at any second and it might be merciful and it might be overkill. We will have no real idea until the hammer swings down and counts one, two, three.

Vargas gets Marlowe up and snaps off another reverse knife-edge chop. Marlowe staggers back from the hit and ends up in the corner against the turnbuckles. Vargas moves in and delivers another. As Marlowe starts to recoil again, Vargas starts the Preemptive Strike. She machine guns the strikes, hitting again and again and again and again. Marlowe bounces off the turnbuckles until she starts to fall forward. She grabs onto Vargas to keep herself upright and then spins her into the corner. Marlowe hits Vargas and then starts a Preemptive Strike of her own. She wails away on Vargas, hitting her again and again and again and again and again. Vargas starts to stumble out of the corner and Marlowe moves in behind for a double knee backbreaker. Vargas hits hard and Marlowe covers.

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO!

VARGAS JUST BARELY GETS A SHOULDER UP!

Marlowe looks around in stunned disbelief but also for legitimate bearings taking, exhaustion setting in. Both competitors crawl to the ropes, using them to pull themselves back to their feet. Vargas and Marlowe stagger to each other and start trading shots all over again, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas, Marlowe, Vargas. Vargs grabs Marlowe's wrist and hits 2 To Tango. Marlowe falls to one knee and Vargas catches her for the Black Rose Overdrive. Vargas falls into the cover on Marlowe.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, MERCEDES VARGAS!

Adams: Mercifully, that fight is over!

Simone: That's how it had to go. They had to go until they just couldn't anymore.

Adams: They hammered away on each other until it was just over!

Simone: That's how the best get it done.

MICHAEL HARRIS

Where the nephew won Most Popular, few doubted that after everything he pulled over the course of 2023, Michael Harris would not walk away with this particular distinction! From his constant underhanded tactics to remain on top, to his vicious and prolonged feud with J2H, Michael Harris might have earned respect from the SCW Universe, but he also ran away with their scorn and vile hatred! The fact that he bested Krystal Wolfe for this award should more than tell you just how reviled he was!

---

We cut backstage to see Bea Barnhart leaving her dressing room to head to the staging area to be ready to make her entrance for the Bombshell Roulette Championship Triple Threat match against Alexandra Calaway and Georgie Robertson. Bea sees the camera person pointing their camera at her and she waves to the viewers.

Bea: Hi everyone! I'm ready to walk into the Triple Threat Bombshell Roulette Championship match and destroy Alexandra Callaway and Georgie Robertson. It is nice that my match is two matches after Bill's match. Tonight I'll prove to the world that I deserve to be the Bombshell Roulette Champion.

As Bea continues walking down the hallways we notice her head is held high and her steps are very confident.

Bea: I am extremely confident I will win my match and become the Bombshell Roulette Champion. In three matches I've had with Alexandra Calaway I have two wins over her and she one over me. That proves I'm better than her. As for Georgie Robertson we've had only one match against each other and Georgie won that match. That means it is payback time and I am the one dishing out the payback.

Bea arrives at the staging area and she gets in place to be ready to make her entrance.

Bea: When I soundly defeat Alexandra and Georgie everyone will take notice. But there is no need for anyone to be shocked or surprised when I win. It is a given that I am more talented than Alexadra and Georgie combined.

The staff inform Bea she will be announced shortly so Bea gets in position to be ready for her entrance. At this point the camera person turns their camera off and the scene ends.

---

The scene opens backstage at High Stakes where we see the three competitors in tonight's Bombshell Roulette Title Match, the champion Alexandra Callaway and her two challengers Bea Barnhart and Georgie Robertson, as they wait to see what they'll be wrestling in tonight.

Simone: It's title match time and Alexandra has not one but two very game challengers in Bea Barnhart and Georgie Robertson!

Adams: This is Alexandra's first defence since she took the gold from Jessie at Violent Conduct, can she make it out of the PPV as champ?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready ladies?

The three women nod and Rocky spins the wheel, it goes around for a few seconds before it finally stops on…………….

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight's Bombshell Roulette Title Match will be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match!

Simone: Oh this is going to be chaotic, it's a ladder match with the added elements of the tables and chairs being the only allowed weapons.

Adams: And with three women going for the gold? This is going to be a good one!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck ladies!

Alexandra, Bea, and Georgie leave to prepare for the match as the scene fades.

---

Simone: Welcome back to High Stakes and our second Roulette Title Match of the night! Alexandra Callaway has been a dominant champion since she dethroned Jessie Salco at Violent Conduct but can she deal with two challengers at once? We're about to find out as Georgie Robertson and Bea Barnhart challenge for the gold!

Adams: The fact that Alexandra won her last two matches goes without saying really because they were her first two defences against Laura Pheonix and Seleana Zdunich but Bea and Georgie have picked up some surprising wins of their own! Bea defeated the young upstart Harper Mason, otherwise known as Jessie's younger cousin, in Harper's second ever SCW Match whilst Georgie defeated Seleana in a Roulette Rules Falls Count Anywhere Match! On the same night as Alexandra's defence against Laura too!

Simone: This should be a barn burner folks because the Roulette Wheel has declared this match to be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the following Triple Threat Match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship! And thanks to a spin of the wheel, we know that it'll be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match!

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

Justin: Introducing first! From DALLAS, TEXAS, she is the reigning and defending Bombshell Roulette Champion.. ALEXANDRA CALAWAY!!!!!

Finishing her walk down the ramp, she climbs onto the ring apron and up onto the turnbuckle. She slips into the ring and poses on the ropes, leaning forward on the ropes, sometimes talking shit with people in front row. She watches up the ramp, messing with her hair as she waits for her opponent.

Simone: Alexandra has made quite the turnaround from her early days, including a controversial loss to Bea Barnhart!

Adams: And now she enters her first SCW PPV as a champion! But will she end the night as champion?

Alexandra hands the title to Drew so the ref can get it hung high above the ring right before WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT by Twisted Sister hits the speakers and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. Her wrestling attire consists of black leather pants, a white pullover type of tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket. 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.

Justin: Introducing the challengers, first from Lawrenceville, Georgia, BEA BARNHART!

She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into a corner then executing a backflip landing on her feet. Bea then settles into a corner to wait for her match to start.

Simone: Lots of history between Bea and Alexandra here, dating all the way back to Alexandra's first official match in SCW!

Adams: Alexandra looks ready to get another win over Bea but Bea's not the only challenger tonight!

The throbbing beat of Adam Lambert's For your entertainment fills the venue. A body can be seen in shadow as the fans turn towards the entrance. A strobing light flashes behind the body that turns slowly as a spotlight slowly lights up the ramp area and kills the strobe to reveal a brunette in a black leather jacket over black tights and staring down into the ring, a slow smirk beginning to cross her lips.

Justin: And, from South London, England, GEORGIE ROBERTSON!

Heading to the ring, she stops at the ring stairs and then moves slowly up to the apron and into the ring where she moves towards a corner and leans back against the turnbuckles with one foot on the bottom rope.

Simone: Georgie is, by a very large margin, the youngest and least experienced wrestler in this match at just twenty four years old but in the past year or so, she has shocked the SCW Universe on multiple occasions.

Adams: She's beaten some very notable talent including Roxi Johnson at the start of the year! But she's yet to put it together when it comes to title matches, maybe this will be her night?

Drew calls for the three women to meet in the centre of the ring to go over the rules with them but Bea sprints over to Alexandra to get the early upper hand, Georgie remains in her corner and merely shrugs her shoulders when Drew turns to her prompting Drew to call for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And this title match is off to an explosive start already as Bea has gone right after the champion!

Adams: But whilst Alexandra and Bea brawl, Georgie is hanging back and watching the action! What's her game plan?

Indeed, a brawl erupts between the two veteran wrestlers but the rookie in the match is merely watching with a bemused smirk on her face, eventually Bea takes herself and Alexandra out of the ring with a clothesline only for the brawl to continue on the outside at which point Georgie finally moves from her spot but doesn't go for a dive like one might expect in a situation like this, instead Georgie heads back towards the entrance ramp and grabs the biggest ladder she can find before sliding it into the ring.

Simone: Wait a minute, is Georgie trying to steal the match by exploiting the history between Alexandra and Bea?!

Adams: You gotta admit, it's a smart move on her part, especially since Georgie is the only wrestler in the match who's never held a title in SCW!

Georgie has a huge, shit eating grin as she sets up the ladder directly beneath the title and immediately starts climbing it! Unfortunately for the Brit, Alexandra catches this out of the corner of her eye and shoves Bea aside before grabbing a steel chair and rushing back into the ring, by this point Georgie is almost at the top of the ladder and is reaching for the Roulette Title but is so tunnel visioned on the title that she doesn't see Alexandra's chair coming until it's too late, the shot to her ribs doubling the Brit over before she can even get her fingers on the title.

Simone: Oh, so close! We almost had a High Stakes record for fastest Roulette Title win too!

Adams: Unfortunately for Georgie, there was no way Alexandra was going to allow her reign to end that easily! And there's still Bea left in the match!

Alexandra tosses the chair aside upon seeing that the shot to Georgie's ribs caused the Brit to drop down a step and starts climbing up the ladder after Georgie to try to claim her title, however she failed to take Bea into account as the other veteran wrestler in the match is taking the time to set up one of the tables on the outside of the ring whilst Alexandra and Georgie exchange blows high above the ring! Bea's reasoning soon becomes clear as the former Mixed Tag Team Champion returns to the ring and goes to tip the ladder over in the hopes of sending her opponents crashing through the table! However Georgie manages to leap off the ladder in time and rolls as she lands to avoid injury whilst Alexandra isn't so lucky as she gets sent crashing through the table.

Simone: OH MY GOD! Bea could've just taken Alexandra out of the match!

Adams: And that could mean that either her or Georgie will walk out the new champion!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Drew immediately leaves the ring to check on Alexandra following her tumble but the champion is merely down, not out, albeit in a lot of pain! Back in the ring her two challengers are going at it as Georgie has grabbed the chair that Alexandra had introduced into the match earlier and goes to cave Bea's head in! Bea ducks under the shot at the last minute causing the chair to bounce off the top rope and into Georgie's face leaving the rookie open to stumble into a German Suplex from Bea! However Bea doesn't let up with the German Suplexes as she rolls around and executes several in a row! But Bea makes the mistake of letting Georgie hold onto her chair as she eventually gets the wherewithal to wallop Bea with the chair mid Suplex causing Bea to drop her.

Simone: Both veterans are out and it might be Georgie's time to shine!

Adams: Is this Georgie's moment? Alexandra is getting to her feet!

Despite the sudden momentum shift Georgie is slow to get back to her feet due to the multiple German Suplexes but upon seeing that the ladder is still up and under the title Georgie starts climbing up the ladder again! However as she gets to the halfway point she turns around to taunt the fans only to see another ladder propped up against the ring ropes from the arena floor! Georgie's confusion quickly turns to fear as Alexandra sprints up the propped ladder and launches off it before spearing Georgie straight through the ladder causing one side to bend in half!

Simone: OH MY GOD! I think Georgie's out!

Adams: But so is Alexandra! Is Bea about to win her first singles championship in SCW? Hey, wait, did Alexandra set up two tables atop each other with chairs laid across the top when we weren't looking?!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!

Drew doesn't even get a chance to check on either champion or challenger as Bea is back on her feet and has a massive grin on her face as she sees the carnage in front of her, however the ladder that the women had been using all match is now useless and, with Drew's help, she gets it out of the ring before grabbing the ladder that Alexandra had used to re-enter the fray! But whilst Georgie is clearly out of the match, Alexandra isn't and the champion is slowly getting back to her feet and Bea starts climbing up the ladder faster.

Simone: It's down to the veterans, Bea vs. Alexandra, a feud that dates back to Alexandra's SCW Debut!

Adams: The medics are down to check on Georgie, I hope she's relatively okay!

Alexandra soon joins Bea on the ladder and follows her up the ladder with both women exchanging blows above the ring with the title right above their heads! Alexandra is soon winded by a stiff shot to her midsection by Bea who reaches for the gold without trying to eliminate the champion from the equation first! This proves to be a fatal mistake for Bea as Alexandra returns the favour with a shot to Bea's midsection doubling her over and them grabs her challenger and, just about, gets her in a Powerbomb position.

Simone: Wait a minute, is Alexandra going to hit the Apocalypse from up there?!

Adams: That would take Bea out of the match but at what cost!

Bea tries to fight it but it's no use! Alexandra has to leap off the ladder to get her desired effect (and avoid Bea reaching for the title whilst on her shoulders) sending Bea through the chair/table double stack with the Apocalypse!

Simone: ALEXANDRA HAS JUST HIT THE APOCALYPSE FROM ATOP THE LADDER ONTO BEA!

Adams: Georgie was already out but now so is Bea! Stick a fork in them, they are done!

Medics rush down to check on Bea but Alexandra has other things on her mind, she climbs back up the ladder and, with no obstacle in sight, claims the title!

DING DING DING!

Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL SCW BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPION, ALEXANDRA CALLAWAY!

Simone: Alexandra retains over two very game Bombshells! I don't know if she can be stopped at this rate!

Adams: There's a good chance that she'll end the year as champion, what a match!

Alexandra celebrates atop the ladder as Bea and Georgie are tended too by medics.

Simone: Harper Mason picked up a huge win earlier tonight, and has been known to be starstruck meeting people in SCW. Earlier tonight, our cameras picked up something before the show went on air. Let's see who Harper bumped in to this time...

Adams: Jessie is not going to like this...

*EARLIER TONIGHT*

We open backstage at High Stakes where we see the rookie bombshell Harper Mason arriving at the arena.

Harper: Okay, first High Stakes as an SCW Bombshell, first PPV Match…….

Harper lets out a deep breath as she walks down the halls not really paying attention to where she's going.

Harper: Wonder if I'll run into anyone before I meet up with Je……..

Then Harper literally runs into someone, one of the male roster members.

Harper: Oh my god, I'm so so……..

Harper trails off as she realizes who she's ran into.

Harper: J2H?!

Indeed, Harper just barged into the SCW Hall of Famer and one of the men in tonight's Main Event.

J2H: Watch where you're going!

J2H says as he dusts himself off.

J2H: Wait, you're the kid Jessie manages?

Harper: Err, yeah?

Harper says as she gets flabbergasted.

J2H: I like you a lot better than your cousin.

Harper: Err, thanks, I think?

J2H walks off without another word.

Harper: Did that just happen?

Harper shakes her head.

Harper: Right, need to find Jess.

Harper walks off as the scene fades.

The camera cuts backstage to see SCW Hall of Famer, Mikah holding her and her husband, Kris Ryans' newborn baby. She is seen smiling and cooing at the baby as she bounces a little bit to keep the baby happy. She is sporting a simple black, skinny strapped, relatively short dress and she glances up to see one of the interviewers walking towards her. She glances down at Ridley, who is sound asleep in her arms.

Mikah: Hope you're ready for your first TV appearance, Ridley.

Mikah looks up just as Ms. Rocky Mountains stops in front of her a perky like look on her face. Mikah glances down at her daughter, who's dressed in a simple white onesie with a black ruffle bottom type of shorts on and a black bow on her head.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mikah, it's great to see you back on SCW cameras once more.

Mikah just looks at her, her eyebrows raised but doesn't say anything, waiting for her to continue.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: How are you feeling after having yours and Kris Ryans' daughter? Ready for an in-ring return anytime soon?

Mikah gives her a slightly annoyed look before rolling her eyes.

Mikah: First of all, I'm feeling fine, Ridley here is not my first child. And no, there's no in-ring return in my future, sorry. Well, I'm not actually sorry but you get the point.

Ms. Rocky Mountains nods her head.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Right, then may I ask why you are here then? If you're not looking for an in-ring return, that is.

Mikah gives her another annoyed look before looking back down at her daughter before looking at the backstage reporter once again.

Mikah: Look, it's High Stakes; SCW's biggest show of the year and it's the night of the inductees get inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'd say it's a pretty important night and as the best Bombshell ever to be in SCW, I thought it was fitting to be here and to show support for some of the inductees.

Mikah smirks a little bit.

Mikah: And before you ask, most specifically Amber Ryan and Mac Bane. You know, my partner from the 2022 Blast From the Past Tournament? The one who helped our team win the entire tournament? Where I didn't get what I was promised? That partner. And plus…Ridley has to accept her induction as well. She's already in the SCW Hall of Fame; she just has to be here to accept it.

The camera pans down to the onesie that has the words "SCW's Youngest Hall of Famer" written on it in black letters.

Mikah: Now I have to go find my other kids before they beat up Eiley and Oz again.

Mikah wastes no time in walking away from Ms. Rocky Mountains in hopes of going to find her kids.

Back at ringside, the team of Simone and Adams are visible.

Simone: Our next match is one that everyone has kept their eye on, especially with recent developments regarding the Internet Division!

Adams: With Miles Kasey picking up what I think is the biggest surprise win of this year over Calvin Harris last Climax Control, the new Internet Champion doesn't even get to rest and relish in the moment.

Simone: Kasey has made it clear that he's willing to do whatever he needs to in order to keep the Internet Championship in his grasp. And tonight, he has to go through two of SCW's most recent rising stars in BRADDOCK and Eddie Lyons!

Adams: He may find it difficult to survive tonight!

As the lights are lowered in the arena to signal a championship match, Justin Decent stands in the center of the ring, microphone in hand.

Justin: This match is scheduled as a triple threat for the SCW Internet Championship with no count outs!

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

Drums pound in synch with grinding guitars as "Bonehead" assaults the fans while the arena is blanketed in darkness while at six seconds in, a saxophone begins squealing a prolonged note. At thirteen seconds, while a spotlight suddenly pierces the darkness, casting its light on the entrace curtain, the vocalist begins whooping and screaming. BRADDOCK explodes through the curtain and marches for the ring.

BRADDOCK has ascended the ring steps and is entering the ring halfway down the apron, I'm between the ring posts by dipping under the top rope. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and while secure on the second rope, he raises both fists in the air and bellows.

"Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. The SCW Internet Championship sits around his waist, gleaming in the light. 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! He exits to his corner, unhooking the championship from his waist.

Justin steps forward.

Justin: Introducing first! Standing at five-foot-ten, and weighing in at two-hundred and thirty pounds, he is one of the contenders for the Internet Championship! He is the UNBREAKABLE…EDDIE…LYOOOOOONNNNSSSS!!!!!!!!

Eddie steps forward and raises his fist, listening to the crowd cheer for him. He then steps back.

Justin: Next, he is five feet, ten inches tall and tips the scales at two hundred and fifty-one pounds and hails from Stockton, California. Contending in this match for the Internet Championship, he! Is! BRADDOCK!!!!

BRADDOCK steps forward, raising both arms and roaring for the crowd once more. The crowd boos, but he disregards this, completely wearing a chip on his shoulder.

Justin: Last…he is the REIGNING and DEFENDING SCW Internet Champion! At six-foot-one and two-fifteen…MILES. KASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEYYYY!!!!!!!!!

The crowd pops up for The Manchester Corsair, and he raises his championship high in the sky, a definite place of happiness regarding his recent acquisition. He points at himself, pounding his chest a moment later, before he turns and hands the championship to Referee Jacob Summers. The man holds up the championship for everyone to see once more, before handing it down to ring staff while non-wrestling personnel exit the ring. He signals for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Adams: Kasey has a lot to lose tonight; after obtaining the Championship from Harris. The two were in a vicious war when they faced each other in their series matches, and for Miles to capitalize the way he did absolutely has made him a target to watch tonight.

Simone: And already, Miles has a people breathing down his neck. I mean, I know he said that he wasn't looking past either of these two men tonight, but I would be. I would be watching my back.

As soon as the bell rings, Kasey and Lyons put their eyes on one another, stares grounded and eyes focused. They launch out of their respective corners, immediately heading in a straight line for the other, but it's BRADDOCK who connects as he makes his first play at the same time and double clotheslines both to the mat. With a powerful roar, he slows his momentum and clutches onto the ropes.

It is an erroneous move though, that costs the biggest man in the match. This is not enough to keep the fleet footed men on the ground, and while briefly stunned, they're not winded. Lyons and Kasey both kip up from the mat to their feet and fully turn to face BRADDOCK. They both drop into a crouch, which gets the crowd hyped up, the volume of their voices increasing as BRADDOCK turns around and is met with tandem double superkicks from the two men both previously employed by PWS. With a crash, BRADDOCK tumbles over the rope and to the floor.

Simone: A little too close to the ropes and taunting cost the big man tonight.

Adams:And now Lyons and Kasey can focus on each other just like they wanted to begin with!

Simone: Don't worry; BRADDOCK will be back in soon. It's a long way to the floor it'll require more to knock him out!

Kasey and Lyons begin to circle one another, sizing each other up just like the last time they were in a match. The Lyons Den and the Wolfslair have always been rivals, and tonight is no exception. The two men meet in the ring and immediately start whaling on the other with a flurry of punches, which causes the crowd to go wild! It's all right fists as the two grasp each other around the neck and bring their fists down like it's the only way to get to Christmas!

But it's Lyons who stops the rounds, side kicking Miles once on the left, once on the right, and then roundhousing Miles across the face. The Internet Champion goes down to the mat once more, and Eddie capitalizes, grasping a slightly unaware Kasey around his head, pulling him up, hooking his body and slamming him down into mat once more with a sitout powerbomb combined pin.

ONE!

TWO...!

Nope! Kasey kicks out and rolls away from Lyons, who takes a second to get up. It's then that BRADDOCK makes his way back into the match from behind Lyons with a running bulldog. Kasey smartly rolls out of the way of the bigger man to the mat, making Referee Summers move to the same spot, keeping his eye on all the men in the match. BRADDOCK wastes no time in this matchup either, grabbing a now winded Lyons by his waist to his feet, grasps him around the throat and hits a Full Nelson Slam to the ground!

Adams: BRADDOCK making a statement that he won't be thought of less tonight by these two competitors who only have their eyes set on each other!

Simone: Now if ONLY he could have brought that fire like he did a few weeks ago. He wouldn't even be left out of the equation.

BRADDOCK doesn't seem to want to just go for another pin like Kasey capitalized on before. He's ready to demolish whomever he wants in this match before grabbing that championship. The man reaches down again, pulls Lyons by his hair upwards, and turns him so that he can lock in the Deebo Sleeper!

Adams: Not where Lyons wants to be!

Simone: Are you sure? I feel like he doesn't have a lot of fire right now, especially after his promos this week. He's focused on Miles, sure, but BRADDOCK didn't even seem to be a target and he's got Finn Whelan on the mind too. I wouldn't be surprised if that man would come out here and screw over Lyons just to be petty.

Adams: Enough about Whelan, look at Kasey!

Kasey isn't about to allow BRADDOCK to knock out Lyons – that would be a cheap and stupid way to win, in his mind. He didn't fight like hell against Harris to just let a man like BRADDOCK take his championship. The High Flying Manchester Corsair climbs up the turnbuckle like a pirate climbs the mast with ease and skill, stands at the corner on the top ropes, waits for a moment to capture his footing and–

Simone: OH MY!

--leaps across the entire ring with a vertical cross body, knockingeveryoneto the floor! The crowd is on fire! Their newest Champion seems to be fighting with everything in him! He climbs to his feet quickly and crouches in the corner, waiting for BRADDOCK and Lyons to get to their feet. It takes Lyons a bit more time, but BRADDOCK ignores the other man and gets to his feet, looking at Kasey, who doesn't stop or wait a second more.

DOUBLE EDGED SWOR–

NO! BRADDOCK angrily lifts the man and throws him to the floor. Kasey launches up and drills BRADDOCK with right hands just as he'd done to Lyons and finally gets the man off of his feet wiith a well placed standing moonsault. Miles covers!

ONE!

TWO!

THRE...!

Just by the hairs of his chinny chin chin, BRADDOCK kicks out and pushes Kasey all the way off of him– he hits his head on the mat. The pirate holds his head and groans, rolling over onto the other side, his back to BRADDOCK.

Simone: Almost with the win! It'll take more than that to–

Eddie wastes no time, prepping in the corner for a moment before he runs across the ring and MANE KICK! right to the back of BRADDOCK's head, surely knocking him out!

Simone: Or not!

Adams: Adams: THIS IS IT!

Surely, it must be, as Eddie prepares to hook BRADDOCK's arms and raise him up for the LYON'S ROAR DDT!. This might be a little bit of a problem for the smaller man, but he doesn't worry, adrenaline shooting through his veins. He raises him up, and SLAMS his head into the mat.

Adams: Adams: Is it…?!

Eddie goes to pull BRADDOCK away from the ropes, but before he even can, Kasey LEAPS off the ropes one more time with a BLAST FROM THE PAST! (Os Cutter). Eddie crumples and Miles capitalizes to the cheers of the crowd, hooking BRADDOCK's leg.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Justin: Your WINNER and STILL SCW WORLD INTERNET CHAMPION, MILES KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEY!

Miles drops BRADDOCK's leg, pushing himself upwards and standing to his feet. Lyons is crawling to his, leaning on the ground, face planted into it. Kasey receives his championship and raises it high into the air to the cheers of the crowd. However, he doesn't stop there. He looks down at Eddie and reaches down to pat him on the back. Lyons sits up and looks at Miles' still outstretched hand. He waits a moment to take it, but then does so. Miles pulls him upwards, shakes his hand, and then raises his hand as well. Both men put on a fantastic display, much to the happiness of the crowd

J2H VS MICHAEL HARRIS

There was little doubt toward this one! The war between Michael Harris and J2H was about much more than just championship gold! It became about unbridled rage and hatred between two of the most competitive men to ever sign a SCW contract! What started as a war of words quickly escalated to the point where Michael Harris orchestrated the infamous 'hit and run' on J2H at the hands of Harris's own son! The World Heavyweight title changed hands more than once between these two in two of the most hard fought and epic contests, and who knows where they would be right now had Harris not been fired!

After the camera cuts away from the ring following Alexandra Calaway's successful defense, it opens up backstage focused on a television monitor showing the ending moments to that match. The camera then pans back just enough and who should we see on scene but Bobbie Dahl! She has her arms folded and a confident smile on her face.

Adams: Boobie is back!

Simone: Bobbie…

Adams: Yeah…that's what I said.

Bobbie is just about to turn and walk away but she is quickly stopped by Pussy Willow, eager for an interview.

Pussy: Bobbie! Welcome back! I mean, you are back, right? Where have you been?

Bobbie turns her full attention to Pussy, keeping a friendly smile on her face.

Bobbie: I guess you could say I'm back, sure. And I wouldn't worry about where I've been P-Dubs. An explanation will come in time. Right now, I just have to focus on righting a wrong from a few months ago.

Pussy: Righting a wrong? Does…does this have anything to do with Alexandra Calaway? You were just watching her match weren't you?

Bobbie moss.

Bobbie: Yep. But, I won't reveal too much right now. All I will say is that I dropped the ball last go around with Alexandra, and I don't plan to make the same mistake twice. Now, if you'll excuse me, there is a chocolate lava cake in catering calling my name! Toodles!

Bobbie waves to Pussy and the camera as she turns and walks away. Pussy's eyes widen a little as she points in the direction Bobbie went.

Pussy: Wait…was she wearing a wedding ring?!

Adams: Bobbie Dahl is back!

Simone: And it appears she has unfinished business with the Bombshell Roulette Champion, Alexandra Calaway.

---

The scene opens backstage at High Stakes were we see the challenger for the Bombshell Internet Championship match Ariana Angelos getting ready to be interviewed by Pussy Willow.

Pussy: Ari, tonight you are challenging Luna for the Bombshell Internet Championship, off course if you had eliminated Luna from the Battle Royal than the shoe would be on the other foot.

Ariana: Yeah, I noticed, and I know me and Luna are going to steal the show tonight! But whilst I'm looking forward to facing Luna and tearing the house down with her? There's one thing I want more than anything.

Pussy: The Bombshell Internet Championship?

Ariana: No, an around the world cruise with just me and my husband Francisco after we win Couple of the Year, off course I mean the championship! I've been chasing after that thing since my Bombshell Roulette Title Reign ended in January and now that I've finally got it in my sights? I'm doing everything in my power to walk out of High Stakes with my second ever singles championship! And beyond that?

Ariana brushes some hair over her shoulder.

Ariana: I just want to make it to the end of the year with that title still around my waist! But off course, I need to win it first and Luna isn't just going to lay down and let me take it from her! And somehow I doubt I'll get away with using the same tactics Jessie used to end Luna's Roulette Title Reign during the Unsolved Mysteries Tour.

Pussy: Because you don't think the same tactic will work on Luna twice?

Ariana: That and the fact that our match isn't a No DQ Match, I didn't alienate most of my friends earlier in the cycle just to fail to win a championship match by DQ at the biggest show of the year!

Pussy: One last thing, do you regret your actions towards Cour……..

Ariana: No.

Pussy: But that was what alienated most of your friends.

Ariana: I know and I don't care! By all rights I should be the World Bombshell Champion by now and the bosses are still to blinded by their bias too see it! I'll prove them both wrong when I win the title from Luna tonight and Court? I hope Julianna knocks some sense into you bitch!

Ariana walks off as the scene fades.

The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd.

Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!

Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and removing her cloak ready for her match.

Justin: And her opponent and the current bombshell internet champion… hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana… Luna Pasilno.

The lights begin to dull, going to almost complete black. The opening chime, a single spotlight appearing above Luna Pasilno with the Bombshell Internet Championship gleaming in the spotlight. A large smile plastered across her face, hands raising to her sides, palms downwards, hands bent somewhat. "'Cause I'm a King," plays out as blue lights begin to pulse across the arena in time with the music. Her hands thrust down rapidly, striding forth. Rolling her hips heavily with each measured and purposeful step. The crowd roaring with boos and dissent, vitriol flowing from them. She comes to a stop at the base of the ramp, eyes fixed on the centre of the ring. She bends at the knee slightly, turning side on and throwing her head back. One hand pressing the back of her wrist against her head, hand hanging flaccidly, the other still resting on her hip. "There is a god, and she is me," she bounces up slightly, bringing her hand from her hip up in full flourish and 'shows herself off', taking a few quick steps before swinging one leg up onto the apron. Hooking her hands, she pulls herself up and under, bringing the other leg up in a momentary split as she slides beneath the bottom rope. She sits and turns, pulling herself up with the ropes, and slowly backing into the middle of the ring. Shimmying her jacket off in the process before removing the internet championship from waist and raising it high.

The ref move in and takes the belt from Pasilno before showing Angelos and then the fans before moving to the corner, handing the belt off and indicating for the bell to be rung…

DING DING DING!

Angelos and Pasilno quickly move in and lock up in the centre of the ring, where he jockey for position, as they move around the ring a little with neither getting the upper hand as such, as they finally end up in the corner with Angelos pushing Pasilno into the corner, where she pushes and shakes her hard, as the ref moves in and forces Angelos back and she backs off. As Pasilno checks her face, as she takes a few steps away from the corner, as Angelos takes a step forward, but Pasilno tells the ref to keep her back and Angelos puts her hands up.

Simone: Angelos and Pasilno lock up, where they jockey but neither get the upper hand until they are in the corner, which Angelos take advantage and shakes and shoves Pasilno before the ref intervenes, and Angelos backs off. Angelos goes back in, but Pasilno takes the rope break and forces Angelos to back off.

Pasilno takes her time, as Angelos moves in but Pasilno ducks through the ropes and Pasilno gets a foot up, as the ref moves in to intervene, but Pasilno pushes Angelos away hard with her foot and Angelos stumbles back holding her stomach. She makes her way back to her feet, as Pasilno ducks through back into the ring and as Angelos continues to move in but gets a boot to the stomach from Pasilno. Angelos drops to her knees and Pasilno drops to a knee and begins to club and punch Angelos, as she tries to cover up the best she can. Pasilno grabs Angelos by the hair and pulls her up as Angelos fires in a punch to the stomach, but Pasilno soaks it up before lifting Angelos up and hits a body slam.

Adams: Angelos moves in again but is again forced back by Pasilno this time with her boot. Angelos stumbles back, as Pasilno moves back into the ring and Angelos moves in to attack but gets a boot for her troubles. Pasilno attacks the downed Angelos with some clubs before pulling her up, as Angelos tries to fight back but Pasilno ignore the punch and she hits Angelos with a body slam.

Angelos lays on the mat holding her back as Pasilno smirks and holds her arms out as the boos rain down on her. As Angelos takes a moment before Pasilno returns her focus on Angelos, where she grabs her and pulls her up, where she drags her towards the corner before shoving her into the corner chest first. As Angelos turns Pasilno begins to deliver boots to her torso as the ref moves in and tells Pasilno to back off and she stops but not before Angelos drops to the mat. Pasilno stops as she exchanges a few words with the ref as she turns back to Angelos who grabs the ropes – Pasilno grabs Angelos by the hair and pulls her up, where pushes her face onto the top rope and drags her along before releasing.

Simone: Pasilno brags about it and soaks in the boos, before returning her focus and she grabs Angelos and pulls her up and then pushes her into the corner, where she delivers several boots before being told to back off. Which she does but moves back in and grabs Angelos and pulling her back up and flirts with disqualification once again.

Angelos drops to a knee as she leans against the middle ropes, as Pasilno grabs her and pulls her away, where she lifts her up once more looking for a bodyslam, but Angelos wriggles free and drops down behind Pasilno, where she runs backwards and hits then ropes and as she comes back, Pasilno goes for a wild swing but Angelos grabs her arm and leaps up and wraps her legs around Pasilno's other arm and Pasilno drops backwards from Angelos' weight and into a pin…

Adams: Angelos drops to a knee again, but Pasilno grabs her and pulls her up and tries for another body slam but Angelos wriggles free and she runs backwards and hits the ropes and uses that momentum to leap up and wrap her legs around Pasilno's arms and she drops backwards and allows Angelos for a pin…

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Pasilno kicks out, as they both get to their knees as Angelos manages to club Pasilno across her back. They shift as Pasilno gets to her feet first and pulls Angelos up and then Irish whips her across the ring into the corner, where Pasilno goes to charge in but Angelos leaps up to momentarily lays on the ropes as Pasilno sails past and Angelos rolls off Pasilno's back and rolls her up into a pin.

Simone: She only gets a two count, as they both get to their knees with Angelos catches Pasilno across the back, where Pasilno is up first and grabs Angelos before sending her into the corner and Pasilno goes to follow up but Angelos is ready for her and dodges Pasilno's attack and Angelos then goes for a surprise pin…

ONE!

Kickout!

Pasilno kicks out with ease, as Angelos and Pasilno both quickly climb back to their feet and Pasilno charges at Angelos and Angelos hits an arm drag, as they both get back to their feet and Angelos hits another arm drag and as they get to their feet once against, Angelos rushes in and hits a dropkick, which sends Pasilno backwards and tumbles from ring. Pasilno is fine as she climbs to her feet shaken as turns and bounces off the ropes and then dives through the ropes with a suicide dive and she catches Pasilno and pushes her up against the barriers before Angelos bounces back to her feet and backs away for a moment.

Adams: Pasilno kicks out again, as they both make it back their feet with Angelos hitting a couple of arm drags before Angelos catches her with a dropkick and sends her from the ring. She tumbles to the outside and doesn't land too badly, but she is fine, as Angelos then comes through the rope with a suicide dive.

Angelos takes a moment before moving towards where Pasilno is and grabs her and pulls her up, where she goes to Irish whip her towards one of the ring posts but Pasilno counters and sends Angelos into the ring post, where she clatters it and drops to the mat. The ref who had been shouting at Angelos to get back in the ring before changing it Pasilno, but both ignore them and begins a count…

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: Angelos tries to sends Pasilno into the ring post but Pasilno counters and Angelos' plan backfires with Angelos crashing into it. As the ref begins a count.

Angelos lays on the mat, as Pasilno slowly climbs back to her feet and stumbles over to where Angelos is and she climbs onto the ring steps and then leaps off with a mushroom stomp onto Angelos' torso.

THREE!

FOUR!

Adams: Pasilno follows up with a mushroom stomp.

FIVE!

Pasilno turns and stomps on Angelos a few times before grabbing Angelos by the hair and drags her up and then hits a snap suplex. Angelos arches her back in pain, as Pasilno looks up at the ref…

SIX!

SEVEN!

Simone: Angelos is in trouble here as the ref gets to seven.

Pasilno grabs Angelos and pulls her up, where she rolls her back into the ring before she climbs onto the apron and watches where Angelos rolls to and she climbs through the ropes and charges the nearest set of rope and hits a springboard moonsault onto Angelos before going for a cover…

ONE!

TWO!

TH...!

Kickout!

Adams: Pasilno with a springboard moonsault and into a pin… but Angelos kicks out.

Pasilno slaps the mat, as she rolls Angelos onto her stomach, where she grabs Angelos' leg as she looks for the calf slicer, but Angelos begins kick her free leg about, catching Pasilno on the arm a few times and she slips free from Pasilno's grip and dives for the ropes and grabs them. Pasilno slaps the mat and climbs to her feet as she approaches but the ref keeps her back. Angelos takes her time before moving her to feet as Pasilno rushes in, but Angelos gets an elbow up and catches Pasilno and she stumbles backwards, and Angelos moves forward and grabs Pasilno hand and hits a short arm clothesline and sends Pasilno down.

Simone: somehow Angelos battles back as she narrowly avoids the calf slicer, as we see Pasilno getting frustrated.

Angelos grabs Pasilno and pulls her up and Pasilno shoves Angelos backwards and she goes for a wild swing but Angelos ducks and moves forward and bounces off the ropes and Pasilno goes for another wild, which Angelos ducks past and bounces off the rope and as Pasilno turns Angelos hits a spear.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match and NEEWWWW Bombshell internet champion… Ariana Angelos.

Angelos' music hits over the pa, as she rolls off Pasilno and slowly climbs to her feet as the referee hands her the Bombshell Internet Championship and she raises it high in the air.

THE TROLL WINS A MATCH

This award always goes out to the single moment that nobody expected, that caught the entire wrestling industry the most unaware. And no single moment accomplished both than when the perpetual loser of SCW, the Troll, won his first match! It does not matter the fact that the win was entirely accidental. To see the Troll's arm raised in victory was not something we ever thought we'd see before, and hope to never have to endure ever again!

---

The scene opens up backstage to find Kandy Kaine and Matty Mallow dancing to "Candy" by Far East Movement. Kandy's manager and best friend, Tessa Flannigan, is standing to the side, amused by the less than stellar dance moves. She looks over to see the camera and her smile grows.

Tessa: Y'know, I'm not surprised that Mark signed Kandy and Matty. They can be the life of the party, and SCW could use a party.

The music comes to an end, and Kandy gasps.

Kandy: Again! Again!

Tessa holds her phone up teasingly, yet playfully. Kandy groans as if to beg further. Tessa presses replay, and the song starts up again. Matty roars with approval as he begins to swivel in time with the music, waving his body fluidly as Kandy jumps up and down. She begins dancing as well. There is a polite yet authoritative "ah-hemmm" that only seems to catch Tessa's attention.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I didn't realize you literally meant a party when you invited me here.

Tessa: Always a party around these two.

Tessa turns the volume down as she juts her thumb toward Rocky. Kandy squeals again before rushing over to the two, with Matty following behind.

Kandy: Oh em gee, it's Mrs. Rocky Mountains, in the flesh!

Matty: I know, can you believe it? Pinch me, because I must be dreaming!

Kandy reaches over and pinches Matty. He turns abruptly to her, his eyes wide.

Matty: Yup! It's real! But, I gotta figure out a different way to find out if I'm dreaming or not because that kinda hurts.

Kandy: Can you believe that we're actually at High Stakes, and not in the crowd, or on the pre show?

Matty: Nope!

Kandy sighs and looks down at the ground.

Kandy: Maybe I'm the one who's dreaming then.

Matty: That's no way for the Princess of Positivity to think!

Matty reaches over and pinches Kandy. She lets out a loud 'OWWW!" before gasping.

Kandy: I'm not dreaming! Tessa, are you dreaming of this? Or you, Rocky?

Tessa shakes her head from side to side while Rocky laughs.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I thought I was supposed to ask the questions here.

Kandy: Sorry! I'm not used to interviews. I usually just hung out at Rory's Place and watched random things happen with other people. Is this what it's like to be in the big leagues? Sorry, that was another question….

Rocky lets out another laugh before she takes Kandy's stretched out hand and gives it a shake.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well, I would start off by asking how it feels to be here tonight, but I have a good idea that I know the answer to that.

Matty: Uh, awesome! Spectacular! The most amazing amazeballs ever?

Kandy: Yeah, what he said. And so much more, too. This is Matty's first time on Sin City Wrestling programming. But I'm the one who was most nervous about it. But, do you know what I did?

Rocky pauses, waiting for the answer. Kandy's eyes light up and she brings a knee up, her arms stretched out almost like a cheerleading pose.

Kandy: I tapped into the power of positivity. Did you know that one hundred percent of people who don't take a chance will fail. It's true. It's science. And, I'm sorry for all of the questions. Do you mind them? Oops!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Not at all. I am wondering what made you guys decide to land in Sin City when you're from… The Kandy Kingdom… and Atlantic City.

Matty: Well, Kandy's known in Sin City, even if only a little bit. She has history here, and when she showed me some of the awesome sauce matches this place has had, I knew I needed a chance to be in one of those matches one day.

Kandy: Yeah! And can you blame him? Tonight is proof why. Twelve big matches. It's like an anniversary show or something.

Rocky snickers.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: High Stakes was the first ever SCW supercard, and the awards ceremony is included tonight.

Matty: That's why it's such an honor to be here, tonight of all nights. The only show bigger than this is Blaze of Glory, and maybe Summer XXXtreme, with the cruise ship and all.

Kandy: Yeah!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well, let me ask a question, if you don't mind. What are your goals in SCW? Anyone in particular that you guys look forward to facing?

Kandy: That's two questions, but you are the question asking lady, so it makes sense.

Matty: Totally. I mean, I've seen some great stuff from Finn Whelan, so I wouldn't mind facing him.

Kandy: And I would love to face any of the Bombshells. I wouldn't be a very positive person if I put one over the others.

Rocky shrugs her shoulders in response, unable to argue that logic surprisingly.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Do you guys plan on teaming up to go after the Mixed Tag Team Championships?

Matty and Kandy share a look. Kandy purses her lips, while Matty looks over to Rocky to answer.

Matty: I don't think so. Kandy spent a lot of time in the tag division in Northern Lights Wrestling and SCU. No disrespect to Jerry Cann, because he's a real boss, but I think Kandy is ready to be out on her own, right Kan?

Kandy: I do look forward to teaming with Matty, but I look forward to facing the Bombshell roster individually, so that maybe I can get to know them better and improve my own skills. You get it, Matty, and that's why I love you.

Matty and Kandy hug and Kandy kisses him on the cheek. He blushes and bats his eyelashes with a smirk on his face.

Kandy: But hey, we're looking forward to dancing more. You're welcome to join us though! Do you have the movies?

Rocky looks almost bashful until she pops and locks. She shimmies over as Tessa turns the music up once more through the speakers. Kandy and Matty jump up and down before joining Rocky in the dance.

HELLUVA BOTTOM CARTER

When Carter moved on up from Sin City Underground to become an SCW Superstar, by his own admission he did not enjoy the same success as he had previously. In SCU, he reigned as a Pride Tag Champion, Combat Champion, TV Champion and was the youngest Underground champion in SCU history. Since then, Carter struggled to find a foothold in SCW, but still managed to impress his peers with his heart and tenacity, picking up some impressive wins and even managed to take then-champion J2H to the absolute limits! His victory and upset win over Michael Harris solidified Carter's place on the roster and proved that he had improved the most above all others in 2023!

Justin: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, she is… Whisper!

The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Whisper is standing inside of the ring. She looks around at the SCW crowd with a bit of a smirk on her face.

"Release me"

The two words from the Public Address system in the arena cause the fans in attendance, already on their feet, to react with disdain and unappreciative shouts. Kat Jones,, badass Cincinnati native of ill repute methodically makes her way to the top of the ramp from the gorilla position. Her black shorts and knee high boots are more characterizing of her facial expression and attitude toward the scathing crowd, than her highly decorative top full of self expression.

Kat walks toward the ring, methodically and without much concern at all, regarding the insults and jeers thrown in her direction.

Justin: Making her way to the ring, hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, standing five feet, eight inches tall and weighing in at one hundred twenty eight pounds, she is the "WildKat"... KAT JJOONNEESS!!!"

Standing before the ring apron, Kat removes her black leather jacket, whips it behind her, releasing it and allowing it to sail toward the ramp, ultimately letting out a bloodcurdling scream, before she enters the ring and awaits the arrival

Justin: And their opponents… First, from Miami, Florida, standing at 5'7" and weighing in at 120lb, she is… Keira Fisher!!!

"Undefeateable" begins to 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, the tron goes red as the music goes a bit intense as Keira turns and walks down the ring. She slaps a few fans' hands as she slides in. Once the lyrics hit,

She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she waits for her opponent and the music dies down

Justin: And her partner, from Tampa, Florida, standing at 5'6" and weighing in at 132lb, she is… Roxi Johnson!!!

The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.

DING DING DING!

Adams: As soon as the bell rings, Kat and Keira walk to the center of the ring. They shake hands before the circle ensues.

Simone: They tie up in the middle of the ring and each one tries to gain the advantage.

Keira moves behind Kat, but Kat grounds her weight. She hits a back elbow, and then moves behind Keira. She goes for a German Suplex, but Keira flips out of it. She goes for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Kat reverses it with a Leg Sweep. She goes for an elbow that connects. She picks Keira up and sends her into the ropes, but Keira does a front flip, bouncing off of the ropes before landing an elbow of her own.

Adams: An elbow for an elbow!

Simone: Keira picks Kat up immediately and goes for a Vertical Suplex, but Kat falls down into a Neckbreaker.

Once connected, Kat drags Keira over to her corner, but Keira stops the tag from happening by jumping up to hit the turnbuckle, bouncing off with a Bulldog. Keira breathes a bit as she drags Kat to her corner. She is about to nail the tag when Kat rushes her clear across the ring, back to her corner. She goes for the tag, but is inches away when Keira hits a Mule Kick to Whisper, and then climbs to the second rope, looking for a Tornado DDT. However, Kat keeps the momentum of the maneuver going and turns it into a Sidewalk Slam.

Simone: Kat has found the fire during this friendly matchup. She lifts Keira up a bit and does a Chokehold.

Adams: Keira tries to get to the ropes, but she's just a little too tired out from the constant back and forth with Kat.

Before long, Roxi comes rushing in with a Running Knee that puts Kat down for a second. Keira and Roxi lift Kat up, ready to go for a Double DDT, but Whisper comes inside the ring and hits a Double Clothesline. Roxi rolls to the apron as Keira crawls to the ropes to lift herself up. She eyes Whisper with a nod and a smirk that says "Well done". Kat gets up as Whisper goes to the outside. Roxi gets back to her corner as Keira makes the tag.

Simone: The mostly fresh Roxi Johnson comes inside now, and she cuts Kat off at the pass with a German Suplex, bridging into a pin!

Adams: A bit too early, but what a showing of dominance as Whisper breaks it up just before the count starts!

Roxi picks Kat up, but Kat nails a punch to the stomach. She hits a few more before whipping Roxi into the corner. She rushes in with a knee to the gut. She hits a couple more knees before going in for a series of rapid punches. She grabs onto Roxi and hits a Vertical Suplex, landing Roxi half and half on the top rope. She whips Roxi across the ring, and rushes in with a Spear!

Simone: Kat then hits a few abdominal thrusts, trying to weaken the core of Roxi. Roxi holds onto her gut as Kat moves away.

Adams: Kat is riled up, but she thinks it better to tag herself out!

Whisper continues the work done by Kat as she picks Roxi up and rams a knee into her stomach. She then whips Roxi into the ropes, and plants Roxi with a Snap Suplex. She goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Adams: Keira comes in for the save!

Simone: Kat and Keira begin exchanging hits as Roxi finds her way to her feet, holding her stomach.

Whisper shows off a bit for the crowd, but she turns right into a Back Kick from Roxi, landing right in the stomach. She then comes off of the ropes with a Double Axel Elbow Smash. She picks Whisper up and sends her into the corner. She climbs up and hits a Hurricanrana. Climbing up the turnbuckle again, Roxi leaps off with a Moonsault, and she hooks the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

Simone: Kat comes in to break up the cover. Keira is right there as the two fight over to the edge of the ring.

Adams: The referee tries to break up the fight as Whisper sneaks in a sucker punch to Roxi from the ground.

Whisper seems to realize what she did and gasps. She apologizes, and Roxi shakes it off, nodding. The two begin to circle as Whisper goes for a kick to the gut. Roxi grabs the leg and trips her up. She goes for the Sharpshooter. Whisper kicks Roxi's backside and stops her from locking it in. She gets up partially until Roxi rushes in with a Shining Wizard kick. Roxi hooks the leg as Keira distracts Whisper.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Adams: Wearing Whisper down is a wise strategy with the early covers.

Simone: Roxi picks Whisper up and sends her into the ropes, but Whisper ducks a kick attempt.

On her way back, Roxi latches on for a Cross-Arm Breaker that she lands perfectly. She breathes a bit heavily and Keira reaches her hand out for the tag. Roxi walks over and tags Keira in. Keira climbs to the top ropes and leaps off with a Diving Elbow. She goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Simone: Just before Kat makes the save, Whisper kicks out.

Whisper pulls herself to a standing position as Keira, out of nowhere, goes for the Seven Sins (Chick Kick), but Whisper ducks and lifts Keira up into an Electric Chair Slam position. Kat cheers as she goes up top, however, Keira leans forward and rolls Whisper up into a pin, while Roxi trips Kat up on the ropes!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners… Roxi Johnson and Keira Fisher… Team Hero!!!

The crowd cheers as Whisper slams the mat in frustration. However, she gets to a standing position. Both teams shake hands in the middle of the ring.

EILEY

This award goes out to the one wrestler who's star shone the brightest from his or her first foray into the six-sided ring. And no one new star shone brighter than the prized pupil of the former champion and Hall of Famer Mikah – Eiley! Eiley has been criticized as being a Mikah clone, but that is a distinction she takes great pride in and why not? Mikah was hugely successful in her career and Eiley is fast on the way to the very same. With a handful of singles wins and a dominant run as Mixed Tag Team Champion alongside Oliver Zahn, Eiley has a long and colorful future ahead of her, and it is only a matter of time before she wears singles gold around her waist!

---

The camera cuts backstage once more and this time to Hot Stuff Mark Ward's and Christian Underwood's office. The camera moves inside the office to see both bosses out of the office but instead sees a 4 year old boy behind Hot Stuff Mark Ward's desk, looking through his desk and shuffling papers around.

Myles: Where is it?

It was clear that he was looking for something. Moments later, Hot Stuff Mark Ward walks in after a few minutes of Myles rummaging through his desk and he frowns at the scene.

HS: Are you lost, kid?

Myles looks up, a frown on his own face.

Myles: No…

Another perplexed look on both of their faces.

HS: Then what are you doing in my office? And where's your mother?

Myles gives Hot Stuff Mark Ward a look.

Myles: My award.

Hot Stuff Mark Ward frowns once more, clearly confused about what Myles was talking about.

HS: Your award?

Myles nods his head proudly.

Myles: Yes. KJ told me I am the most improved this year. And then Lindsay told me I won an award that's in your office. So…where is it?

Hot Stuff Mark Ward frowns again, clearly still confused.

HS: Er…?

A moment later, the door opens and Mikah walks in and gives Myles a look.

Mikah: There you are. I see you're bothering the right person.

Mikah smirks at Hot Stuff Mark Ward before looking at Myles and offers him her hand.

Mikah: Come on. Let's go get some free ice cream OK Mark's dime.

Mikah smirks at Hot Stuff Mark Ward as Myles hurries over to Mikah, excited about the potential ice cream.

Mikah: Don't worry, I know that you're scared to admit that I'm your favorite. But everybody knows it anyways.

Mikah winks at him before walking out of the office with the now eager 4 year old, leaving Hot Stuff Mark Ward confused about what just happened.

HS: I need a drink.

Julianna founds herself in the locker room moments before the biggest match of her SCW career so far. She thinks things through for a bit, but she doesn't think too long. She's carrying an aura of confidence at this point and if she's in any way nervous, she's doing a phenomenal job of not showing it. It doesn't take her too long before she begins to express her thoughts.

Julianna: I'll start off by saying what I've been saying for weeks now.

The Bombshells World Championship match at High Stakes was a spot that I expected to be in at SOME point in my SCW career. When I first got here, I didn't know exactly when to pinpoint that expectation. Then, I won my first handful of matches and I got the win against the former champion back at Violent Conduct and I was thinking that perhaps I would be able to get that spot… next year.

I was already seeing my name on the main event marquee for High Stakes 2024. After beating Roxi, there was no more doubt in my mind that I could make that happen Then I found out that I was going to meet that expectation… that goal… THIS year. I admit, I was floored when I first heard about it because I was thinking that I might have a shot at one of the other Bombshells Championships this year and then next year, go for the big one. I didn't come out and ask for this title shot. It never crossed my mind because even though I am as brash and I am as arrogant as I am, I still have enough respect for the business to not demand and expect things so soon.

That's a phase of my career that I outgrew years ago.

But, so be it. I prepared the best possible way that I could for this match. I thought back through all of my experiences in my career… sifted through the good times and the bad times and worked out every single puzzle piece that has built my career and who I am today… and in the background, I was dealing with a little bit of a personal situation with my mother dealing with a recurrence of a cancer and a related surgery and everything else.

And despite what some people might think of me, I know that I deserve to be here. I deserve this shot. This might only be my sixth match altogether as a Sin City Wrestling Bombshell, but every step of the way, I proved that I deserve to be here and if there is STILL any doubt? No matter what the outcome is, I'm going to erase it. I can promise you this without a shadow of a doubt: even if the worst comes to pass, I'm NOT going away. You're NEVER going to get rid of me that easily. I'm here for the long haul whether you like it or not and I don't give a flying FUCK what anyone has to say about me.

I've long learned to tune out the noise of a champion that's clearly so insecure with herself that she can't even think straight. I mean for fuck's sake, she's so far gone in her head that actions of former Bombshells on this roster are being attributed as my doing. Granted, I suppose it's kind of an honor to be mistaken for someone like Andrea Hernandez considering she has probably the longest winning streak in Sin City Wrestling history… if not one of the longest but… as I told her on social media when she apologized to me…

Water off a duck's back.

I know I've got this. I'm the one with nothing to lose here. I'm not the one with the most to lose. I'm not the one with all of the pressure on my shoulder. The champion has desperately tried to paint the picture otherwise but nobody knows what is going on in my head other than me and to be honest, this past week? I've felt pretty damn good. I don't feel like this moment is too big for me. This isn't my first rodeo in my career as it pertains to world championship matches. But I do acknowledge that this is the biggest match I've had in a long time… and I don't plan on anything less than the Bombshells World Championship tonight. I can be angry at some of the stupid things that have been said about me, but what's the use? What's the point? I know that half the challenge is psychological and I know that some recent challengers have killed themselves psychologically before the bell even rang.

But not ME!

I've stood my ground. I've stood by my views. I've even double downed on them because I know what I believe in and I know that what I believe in WILL carry me through and tonight, I WILL become the Bombshells World Champion. I WILL shock the world not because I am an underdog in this match. I've never seen myself as one. The shock won't be winning the world title, it'll be doing so as fast as I've done it. I could very well become the fastest Bombshell to ever win the world title tonight since the first time a champion was crowned.

It's time to step up and REALLY change the game around here

Julianna remains stoic and confident as she makes her exit and the scene fades to black.

---

Justin: The following contest is for one fall and is for the SCW World Bombshell Championship.

The crowd cheer.

Justin: Introducing first, the challenger...

"Paranoid" hits the speakers as Julianna DiMaria appears on the stage, greeted by some boos from the fans in attendance. She ignores them and heads down to the ring with a confident, focused look on her face.

Justin: From San Diego, California, weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds, she is Julianna DiMaria!

Once she heads inside the ring, she cracks her knuckles, indicating she's ready to fight and afterward does the "talk to the hand" gesture toward all the fans that are booing her, displaying another touch of arrogance to get the fans against her even more.. She heads to her corner and scoffs at the reaction she's getting as the song fades and she waits for what's coming next.

Justin: And her opponent...

The opening sirens of "Problem" floods the arena PA as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the beat kicks in, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T.

Justin: Making her way to the ring from Long Beach, California, she is the SCW Bomshell World Champion, she is "The One" Court Pierce!

The SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a mostly mixed reaction from the crowd. Court is flanked by her wife, Ruby, and stops at the top of the ramp. With a look back over her shoulder at her significant other, Court crosses her ankles, her purple ring gear shimmering with all of the camera flashes around the arena, and takes a slight bow to the crowd with her arms out to her sides. Ruby motions for the crowd to get up and cheer for her wife which only seems to intensify the boos in the crowd. Court makes her way to ringside, and carefully makes her way up the ringside stairs and onto the apron. She ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and into the ring.

Adams: This is one hell of a rivalry that spilled out to social media, that spilled out all over the place and it's about to explode right here!

DING DING DING!

Courtney and Juliana stand in the ring, where Drew Patton is holding up the championship belt up high in the air before handing it over towards Justin as the has rang. The two women circle each other before locking arms, Pierce manages to executes a hip toss into a Collar Elbow Tie up, trying in an attempt to ground her opponent. Juliana complains towards Drew Patton that Courney pulled her hair in an attempt to persuade him to warn the champion, but Drew ignores her and does not act upon the comments being made from the challenger. Causing Juliana to roll towards her knees and to her feet in an attempt to push Courtney into the turnbuckles as Drew Patton calls for a clean break as Juliana knees Courtney into the midsection as she lets go off the hold.

Simone: Juliana sure took advantage of the given situation.

Juliana ignores the remarks of Patton, giving a few knife edge chops to the chest of Courtney before executing a Hair mare out of the corner before running the ropes opposite her and executes a Dropkick to the head of Courtney before hooking both legs for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

THR..

Courtney manages to kick out before the count of three could have been registered, Juliana doesn't waste time and drives three knees into the spine before wrapping her arm around the chin of Courtney for a reverse chin lock in an attempt to cut off the oxygen to the brain of the champion. Courtney's arms desperately reaches out to the shirt of Drew Patton in an attempt to force a breakup of the chin lock but Drew manages to break her arms free and backs off. Causing Courtney to get her arms up in the and grabs the head of Juliana before getting midway up her feet before delivering a Jaw Breaker that forces the chin lock to be broken as Juliana grabs hold of her mouth in agonizing pain.

Adams: A typical break from Courtney Pierce

Simone: Questionable indeed, but it is effective Jason.

Courtney shakes her head, complains to Drew Patton about what Juliana had done before turning her attention towards the challenger. She starts to roll her towards the bottom rope and then starts to kick her out of the ring and demands for Drew Patton to start to count her opponent out.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Courtney is counting along, only she has already reached the count of seven as she is counting much faster than Drew Patton is doing.

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Courtney is already raising her arms in victory as she has counted to the count of ten as we see Juliana roll in the ring at the count of eight from Drew Patton. Causing him to signal that the match continues to much dismay of the champion.

Simone: I guess Courtney believes that she can dictate what happens during a match.

Courtney rolls her eyes and turns her attention towards Juliana, grabbing her by the hair but Juliana manages to grab her by the tights and pushes her face first into he turnbuckles as that causes her neck to snap backwards awkwardly., giving her the opportunity to grab hold of Courtney by the waist and pulls her up to her feet before executing a German overhead released Suplex before going for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

THRE…

Courtney manages to get her shoulder off the canvas as we see Juliana immediately turn the situation into a Cross Arm Breaker. Courtney tries to block the attempt by locking both hands together as her fingers manages to lock with each other. Only to have Juliana hit her boot several times in the face of Courtney as that causes the grip to be relinquished as she falls to her back and the hold is locked in. Drew is checking in on Courtney whether she is ready to submit to the submission hold, but Courtney manages to touch the bottom rope with the tip of her boot. Drew Patton forces Juliana to break the hold, but she refuses as Drew Patton starts to count to five

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Juliana finally lets go off the hold as she rolls away from Courtney Pierce and slides out of the ring as she has the arm in her hands that she had in the Armbar and wraps it around the ring post and slams it against it a few times before rolling in and out of the ring to break the ten count that the official had on her. Grabbing the arm once again as she slams it against the steel ring post before turning her attention away and badmouths the champion.

Simone: Never one to shy away from any critique is she??

Adams: Well as long as you can back it up, who are we to argue her tactics?

Juliana starts to deliver several punches into the painful shoulder before rolling into the ring and grabs Courtney by the legs and drags her into the middle of the ring before going for a Crossface submission hold in the middle of the ring as Drew Patton goes down to his knees in order to check on the champion. But Courtney refuses to give up as she somehow manages to roll Juliaana on her back as her shoulders come in contact with the canvas

ONE!

TWO!

THRE…

Juliana breaks the three count as she lets go off the Crossface, both women get to their feet as Courtney ducks a Kick to the head from Juliana before dropping Juliana with a dropkick, she follows it up with a baseball slide to the face of Juliana as she was on the canvas before going for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

THR…

Juliana manages to kick out as Courtney goes for a Standing Moonsault, but lands on the lifted knees from Juliana. Who then puts her in a Backbreaker on the knees as she grabs hold of the chin and legs of Courtney Pierce as Drew Patton constantly asks Courtney wants to give in to the painful submission as she refuses while attempting to break free from the tight grip that Juliana has on her.

Adams: Juliana sure has put on a master piece on Courtney, constantly focusing upon a different body part in an attempt to make her submit

Simone: Indeed Jason, but we have seen how tough Courtney is and why she is the Bombshell champion!!

We see Courtney struggle, nearly wanting to submit to the painful hold as suddenly Courtney's wife Ruby runs out to the ring and jumps on the ring apron. She is screaming at Drew Patton, distracting the official as we see Courtney tap to the hold of Juliana, but it is out of sight from the official. This causes Juliana instinctively let go and raise her arms in the air, but notices that Ruby is distracting the official with something. We see Juliana walk over, pushing Drew Patton away as she delivers a big time kick to the midsection of Ruby, who falls down on the concrete floor with a shocked look on her face. Courtney takes advantage of the given situation as she crawls over and rolls Juliana over in a small package but Juliana rolls through and locks Courtney once again in a Crossface Submission hold as she is once again in the middle of the ring. We see Drew Patton start to ask Courtney whether she wishes to submit to the submission hold as Juliana cranks up the hold tighter and tighter.

Simone: Juliana is tightening the Crossface!!!

Adams: I see Coutney slowly fading!!!

Indeed, Courtney's struggling slowly get lesser and lesser as her eyes are slowly fading, we see Drew checking in on her to see if she is reacting towards him but notices that she isn't reacting. He grabs her free arm and lifts it up, only to see it drop. He grabs the arm once again and drops it for a second time.

Simone: Courtney is out!!!

Drew lifts the arm for a final and third time as it drops before calling for the bell as the match has come to an end with a submission victory.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match by submission and NEW!!! Sin city Wrestling's Bombshell World Heavyweight Champion!! Juliana DiMaria!!!!!

Juliana's music hits as Drew Patton hands her the Bombshell heavyweight championship belt as she holds it in her hands before looking at the former champion and raises it in the air before rolling out of the ring with the title draped across her shoulder.

Simone: We got a new Bombshell champion!! And in a few moments we are going to crown a new Heavyweight champion!!!!

MICHAEL HARRIS

This award means perhaps the most because it goes out to the SCW handler who impressed his or her peers the most with their work. Not only with their written RPs but also how they worked with others in storylines and segments. While many names were passed around, one rose above all others and that was the handler for Calvin Harris, Michael Harris and Aleesha. He worked well with others to bring up engaging storylines that made the others look good, not just himself. And he experienced a LOT of success as a roleplayer, winning and holding three simultaneous championships; the World Heavyweight, the men' Internet and the Women's Internet. No other handler in SCW has ever won three titles at the same event!

---

The camera cuts to the backstage area where J2H paces back and forth.

J2H: I should be standing here talking about how I'm going to take the career of Michael Harris, and get rid of him once and for all, but no.

He keeps pacing.

J2H: Because of that, I should be standing here talking about defending a championship that should have been rightly handed to me for showing up and putting in the work, but again, no.

He changes direction and continues to pace.

J2H: Instead I'm standing here talking about five lucky fucks who have somehow found their way in to a match that they shouldn't, I'm talking about five lucky fucks that wasn't even considered for the main event at a show like High Stakes. For months, I built a main event, I put eyes on the main event, I ran around saying the words main event and High Stakes so many time, I was saying them in my sleep and I'm still there against people who shouldn't be, but guess what lucky fucks?

He stops and looks down the camera.

J2H: It doesn't change what was meant to happen at High Stakes before while you guys were left watching me from catering. I was always gonna headline this show, I was always gonna have everyone's eyes on me, I was always going to walk out with the SCW World Heavyweight championship, I was always gonna become a four time World Champion, that doesn't change. That only thing that fucking changes is that tomorrow, instead of one people knowing he's retiring, there's going to be Alexander Raven, HB Carter, Goth, Austin James Mercer and Jack Washington all considering retirement or at least fucking off for a while. That's the only thing that changes.

He presses his hands together.

J2H: The fact you fell in to this match will turn out to be the worst thing for you all because once I walk out with the championship once more, none of you will be worthy of a shot again, and that's real talk bitch!

J2H walks away and towards the curtain.

Whether it be writing matches, segments, booking shows, writing the cards or what else there is for someone to help run a ten-plus year efed alongside Mark Ward, these activities were enough to let Chris be named by the handlers of SCW as Staff Member of the Year.

The camera returns to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, with an extended panning shot across the entire ringside area. Fans of all ages cheer and wave toward the camera as the epic evening of wrestling action is finally drawing to a conclusion. Finally the camera returns to the six-sided ring, where senior referee Jasmine St. John enters the ring, stepping between the bottom and middle rope. She shakes the hand of the ring announcer and then takes her spot to his immediate right, while Justin Decent steps forward to begin the final introductions.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the MAIN EVENT of High Stakes XIII! And it is the Six Pack Challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship!

The crowd in Las Vegas cheers!

Justin: Introducing first...!

5 Seconds of Summer's hit "No Shame" erupts over the sound system and the crowd turns to the stage where Helluva Bottom Carter dances out onto the stage amidst the cheers of the SCW Universe! Clad in his favorite Ostrich jacket and sparkling lavender shades over his eyes, Carter bows and sweeps at the waist, blowing a kiss.

Justin: From Seattle, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy six pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!

Carter runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and removes his shades and jacket, passing them out to the ringside attendant before laying across the top corner, awaiting his opponent's introduction.

Simone: Everybody loves an underdog story, and Carter has to be the underdog to this fairytale story!

Adams: But we have to remember, Bel, WHY Carter is in this match! He is the last person to have pinned then-champion Michael Harris! Not even J2H can say that!

As the opening guitar rift bellows out, the lights slowly dim down, a shade of blue being thrown over the area. A person begins to slowly walk forward, a reverse hood pulled up over and covering his face. The words "FORGETTABLE" and "FORGOTTEN" across it in red letters, one at the top, one at the bottom. Small white X's where the eyes are. 'I was born with my head around the wrong way', with these words the person slowly walks forward, arms stretched out far to the sides. A slow and measured stride forward. Halfway to the ring he stops, turning around to face the entrance once more. His hands going up to the hood. A stomp of the foot, then another, and another. The crowd beginning to stomp along now, cheers and boos, a myriad of reactions. "Take me! Off the wall! The Wallllll!", he yanks the hood down.

Justin: From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia! Weighing two hundred and fifteen pounds -- Alexander Raven!

Spinning on his heel, he stretches his arms out wide, bathing in the reaction. He flicks the collar of his jacket, flashing a smile, winking at one of the nearby front row members. The slow measured towards the ring, stopping at the edge of the apron, using the middle rope to pull himself up, standing on the edge of the apron. Turning and hooking his arms over the top the rope. He leans his head back, leaning deeply into the ropes. "I bear the marks, still bear them so..." He flips backwards of the ropes and lands roughly on his feet. Turning he quickly runs to the opposite corner and leaps up onto the second rope. One hand raised, the other waving the crowd in. Getting the crowd revved up. Dropping back down onto the canvas, he slowly removes his jacket and drops it over the rope to the floor.

Adams: What are Raven's chances in this match, do you think Bel?

Simone: Very likely! Alexander Raven has had a string of victories and he was a dominant champion when he reigned as the Internet Champion!

"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.

Justin: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing two hundred and thirty five pounds -- Jack Washington!

He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.

Adams: Jack Washington is a former three-time Internet Champion and a two-time World Heavyweight Champion!

Simone: The frightening thing about this young man is the fact his career has not even started to peak!

The lights shut off as "Madusa" by Times of grace 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.

Justin: From Manhattan, New York! Weighing two hundred and sixty-five pounds -- Austin! James! MERCER!

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.

Simone: Out of all six men in this match, Austin James Mercer is the one every other man has to watch his back against!

Adams: He's the biggest, the baddest and definitely the strongest! He'd gladly mow down every single one of these guys to regain the World title!

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 opponents, looking them up and down before the match starts.

Adams: And then there was J2H!

Simone: After the war that was waged between J2H and former champion Michael Harris, one would be a fool not to bet on the Hall of Famer to walk away from this match as a four-time champion!

Justin: About to enter the arena being accompanied by his wife Melissa and Kat Jones, standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 239 pounds!!!

The words fade as we hear the guitar play from the legendary singer before Johnny Cash starts to sing. This brings out Melissa and Kat Jones upon the entrance ramp, both stand on either side before Goth walks out wearing a dark overall and a mask with a crown of thorns attached to it as he stares towards the ring.

Justin: Currently residing from Manhattan, New York!!! He is the Messiah of Pain!!!!! Goth!!!!

Goth raises his head towards the air as he extends his arms, both Melissa and Kat walk towards the ring as he follows them shortly towards the ring. The two women walk up the ramp as they open up the ropes for Goth. He slowly steps through the ropes before the lights go down when Johnny Cash sings that There Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down. The lights come back up again as Goth has taken off the overall and can be seen standing in the middle of the ring still wearing the crown. Melissa slowly takes it off as this gives Goth the chance to look at the entrance ramp to await his opponent/stare down his opponents.

Adams: This guy right here just might be my pick to win it all, Bel!

Simone: I can't say I would be surprised if Goth did indeed win this one! Goth has been targeting the World title for months now and this is his opportunity.

All six men are now standing inside of the ring, ready and eyeing each other as Jasmine ensures each Superstar is ready to begin. Once satisfied, the head referee calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Adams: And here we GO!

And straight away, all hell breaks loose as the battle for the World Heavyweight Champion ship commences! Austin James Mercer makes a beeline for Jack Washington when Helluva Bottom Carter jumps on the larger man's back, wrapping an arm around his throat from behind and using his free hand to rain down rapid fire shots into his head and face from behind! Austin attempts to pry and swing Carter from his person but Carter is stuck to him like glue, going for payback from their previous encounters! Austin then reaches behind him and grabs Carter by the hair and throw him off over his shoulder and over the top rope, but Carter counters! He hangs on and the momentum hangs Austin's throat across the top rope! Austin staggers back, surprised and stunned, and Carter uses the top rope to catapult himself back inside of the ring where he connects with a missile dropkick, staggering the big man!

Across the ring, Goth bulldozes straight into his primary target of J2H! Goth slams him back into the near corner where he buries his shoulder into J2H's midsection over and over with the referee within no real power to intervene and force a break! Goth drives the air from J2H's body in full and he then backs away a step and he begins to deliver repeated boots straight into J2H's body until J2H is driven down to the canvas on his backside! This is where Goth uses his long legs to press a boot into J2H's throat, choking him out!

There is a wild melee brawl taking place between Jack Washington and Alexander Raven as the two men trade hard blows, lefts and rights, to each others' heads and faces! Alexander gains the upper hand, blocking a right handed shot and he begins to deliver a series of his own, driving Jack back up against the ropes where Jack counters, raking the eyes of the former Internet Champion! Alexander staggers back, holding his eyes, and Washington dives forward, speaking Raven almost out of his boots! Jack now has Alexander pinned down beneath his weighted muscle and is unloading on him with straight shots to his exposed face!

Simone: Jasmine is doing everything within her power to try and maintain some semblance of control!

Adams: I don't know why she's even bothering! I say just let them fight it out until there's just the new champ left!

The dropkick from Carter causes Austin to stagger back far enough where he falls over the back of Jack Washington who instinctively rolls Mercer up for the first pin fall attempt of the match!

ONE!

But Austin powers him off!

Jack jumps to his feet when Carter springs up onto his shoulders and takes him over into a Victory roll and hooks his legs!

ONE!

TWO!

Jack kicks out!

Before Carter can follow up on either man, Alexander has him around the waist from behind and lifts him up and over, delivering a release German suplex!

Adams: Have you noticed they're all fighting each other and leaving Goth and J2H alone to fight it out!?

Simone: Smart, I'd say! Goth has been itching for a match against J2H for months!

Adams: Itching? I wonder if they make a cream for that sort of thing?

Goth immediately grabs J2H from where he lays in the corner and drags him roughly to his feet! He Irish whips J2H into the neutral corner and charges in but J2H runs up the corner and goes to leap back at him - causing Goth to drop down to avoid the aerial tactic! But J2H didn't go anywhere, faking Goth out! Goth stands up and turns around and J2H comes flying off the top turnbuckle with a missile dropkick that fells the larger man! J2H then dashes into the ropes and comes off with a rolling senton, landing back-first across Goth's sternum! J2H with the cover, hooking the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Goth kicks out!

Simone: This is chaos! This is just utter chaos!

Adams: I know! Isn't it great!?

J2H jumps to his feet to follow up and he turns around and right into a belly to back suplex from Raven!

Adams: WHOAAA! Raven just turned J2H inside out!

Goth has now returned to his feet and he turns around and right into a discus clothesline from Jack! Jack Washington picks Goth up onto his shoulders and delivers a Death Valley Driver!

Adams: The Answer!

Simone: is this The Answer to our first elimination of the match!?

Jack then steps out onto the apron and begins to climb to the top!

Simone: I believe he's about to go for the Philadelphia Flyer!

But just as Jack reaches the top, Austin delivers a hard big boot that rocks Washington! Austin then climbs up the corner, wraps his arms around Jack's upper body and brings him CRASHING down with an overhead superplex!

Adams: WHOA! The whole ring shook on that one!

Raven peels J2H up from the mat and he goes for a German suplex but J2H shifts hi weight and flips back, landing on his feet behind his opposition! J2H then jumps up and lands a lung blower on Alexander!

Simone: The tension between Alexander Raven and J2H has been brewing ever since this match was first announced two weeks ago!

Adams: J2H does have a way in making friends, doesn't he?

Austin kips up after landing his maneuver on Jack - and he turns around and Carter comes from out of nowhere with an RKO! The crowd cheers as Carter jumps up and he turns around and Goth hits him with an End of Days! Goth with the cover on Carter!

Jack starts to pepper Goth in the head with repeated lifts and then drags him up into a front face lock! Jack then shows some of his own strength by lifting Goth upside down into a delayed vertical suplex - holding him there!

Until Austin comes racing in with a Claymore kick on Jack!

Adams: Austin doesn't!

The popup powerbomb is delivered and Austin jackknifes Washington for the cover!

DING DING DING!

Justin: JACK WASHINGTON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Simone: A momentary distraction and it has cost the former two-time champion!

Austin is right back onto his feet and Carter jumps on his shoulders from behind, going for a Poison-rana but Austin puts on the brakes and uses his power and leverage to throw Carter back up and over his shoulder, face-first into the corner! Austin then picks Carter up and deposits him onto the top turnbuckle and Mercer begins to climb to deliver a possible superplex from behind -- when J2H comes racing in and he dropkicks Austin in the back of the legs, causing Mercer to topple backwards, trapped upside down! From his position, Carter stands up on the top of the corner and comes crashing down with a double foot stomp on the exposed midsection of Mercer! Carter makes the cover and J2H jumps on his back for the added assist!

ONE!

TWO!

Austin kicks out, throwing BOTH men off!

Simone: Both men together were unable to put Austin James Mercer away!

But they are not deterred! Carter grabs Austin and J2H lends a hand!

Adams: I never thought I'd see the day J2H and Carter would work together!

Simone: I imagine there would have to be even the briefest of team ups to put away a common enemy!

The two smaller men attempts a double vertical suplex on Austin but Mercer puts on the brakes! Another attempt and still they can not get him over! Suddenly Austin reverses the attempt and shows his own brute force by delivering a double suplex on THEM instead!

Adams: The POWER of Austin James Mercer!

Even the SCW Universe is impressed by this as they respond accordingly as Austin is on his feet, roaring and shaking the top rope! But with his back turned, he is a prime target for Goth to come up from behind and hit the Rude Awakening!

Simone: Sinful Confession!

Goth with the cover!

DING DING DING!

Justin: AUSTIN JAMES MERCER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Carter with the cover!

And Alexander Raven and J2H are back at it again! J2H delivers a spinning heel kick that doubles Alexander over! J2H then races into the ropes and comes off -- and straight into a Thesz press from Alexander who waylays on him with lefts and rights! With his opponent momentarily stunned, Alexander stands and grabs him by the legs, turning him over into a Boston crab!

Simone: He has him set right up with nowhere to go! Alexander might force a submission out of J2H!

Adams: THAT complicates things! Are there count outs in this type of match!?

Simone: Considering everything Jasmine has let these six men get away with, I highly doubt it!

Adams: WHAT A MOVE!!!

Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!

The crowd solidly behind Carter, the young man grabs J2h and rolls him back inside! Carter follows in quickly, grabbing J2H by the legs and he turns around and locks in a Figure 4 Leg Lock!

Simone: Carter has him! He has J2H dead center of the ring! There's nowhere for J2H to go!

But STILL J2H refuses to submit or yield! Jasmine asks him over and over and J2H will not give Carter the satisfaction! That is until Carter turns the Figure 4 into a Figure 8! Arching his back and extending his arms! Now J2H is REALLY reacting to the hold! But suddenly Alexander raven slides inside of the ring and into the hold itself, hooking Carter's arms in a crucifix from out of nowhere and Carter trapped in his own hold!
