“Supreme Championship Wrestling…”
A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.
“The leading force in sports and entertainment today….”
———————————————-
A hologram globe lights up in what appears to be a techy console, a war room of shorts. The virtual Earth turns, the shades of blue differentiate continents from oceans. Generic rock music begins to plan, and suddenly the smashing of a cymbals leads to an explosion over Asia, the fuzzy image of two men grappling pops up. As the global turns away, another explosion shoots out from the Earth’s surface, two men gets their arm raised up into the air. The globe begins to spin faster, the explosions with the footage occur to make the increase in speed. Double dropkicks, double chokeslams, a doomsday device. The clips begin to blur until the entire globe explodes in a bright, blinding light.
The light gives way, we see a huge gold cup resting on a marble pedestal with a bright gleam. Two arms reach out from either side of the of the screen to grab onto the handle. The brightness turns down enough to make visible the writing underneath the SCW logo:
2020 World’s Best Tournament Champions
A loud hammer of snarls bursts through as the cup deconstructions into thousands of triangles. We cut to the live feed of the Twitch broadcast.
————————————————
The packed Coliseo de Puerto Rico is shown. The fans are roaring loud, fired up after a night of wrestling action. The undercard showcased a number of top international indy stars, some of whom were competing for the first time the San Juan crowd. Pyrotechnics goes off on the stage, the crowd growing louder as a result. The cameras zoom in onto Cookie, who is wearing a school girl outfit of all things as a she is standing right next to the 2020 World’s Best Tournament Championship cup.
Cookie: “WELCOME! To the second round of the 2020 World’s Best tournament. I am your lovely, darling host, Cookie! And what a wild night here, down in the big blue Caribbean! And it’s about to get a lot hotter here as we continue with the tournament.”
Three teams are shown: Pina Coladas, Seduction, and Honourable Win.
Cookie: “These are the three teams to beat after winning last night! All three teams are just adorable, including a pair of shining rookies, a married couple that’s actual a bundle of joy for once, and Konrad Raab’s dream team with Gable Winchester! All are tied in the standings at 3 points a piece! Wow! Bravo! Good job!”
Three teams are shown: Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes, the Dresser Boys, and Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos.
Cookie: “And there are three teams at the bottom of the standings, but don’t worry, these six competitors are hungry and desperate for victory. They’re in hot pursuit of the leaders and they’re not going to slow down, no way!”
“Clockwork” by Hyper hits the PA System and out walks Devin Brando with a microphone. He approached Cookie. Lyza’s comes running out through the curtains and says something but Devin continues to walk up to Cookie.
Devin Brando: “Excuse me. Did you say that I’m desperate? You’re woefully wrong. I’m in control. Last night might have been a miscue, but tonight’s going to be very different. While I applaud the children for sneaking off with the victory, I would love to see them do it again. HUNG and his girl, they got lucky.”
The crowd boos since Devin seemed to put down their hometown hero. Devin stares at the crowd for a moment.
Devin Brando: “You know who isn’t lucky. Honourable Win, because Lyza and I are wide awake now. We’re not taking any victory for granted. I know Konrad Raab and Gable Winchester think that they are going to use this tournament, to use us, as a means to rewrite history, to change their perception. Oh no, we’re not to be used. We’re not to be abused. Instead, they’re unfortunate to have to face us because I’m not in a good mood. Lyza’s other there might be a little more nice, but she doesn’t enjoy losing. And tonight, we’re not losing. We’re not losing again.”
Cookie: “I like your spunk! You go get them, solider!”
Gable Winchester comes out. He deliberately heads towards Devin. Konrad Raab hurries out to stop him.
Gable Winchester: “Ya’ll talk over here, big guy. Konrad and I, we’re about to make history. We’re going to run this gauntlet, and we’re going to prove we’re the World’s Best! And your sorry ass, take a seat because you’re have forgotten who you are speaking about. I’m the Man of Win! And win I will do tonight against Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes!”
Devin Brando: “Try it!”
Both men discard their microphones and stand each other up. They meet chest to chest. Cookie doesn’t know what to do. Lyza and Konrad are trying to sperate them. They begin to shove each other but a swarm of yellow coats get in between. They’re yelling but both men go their opposite ways. We cut to ringside.
Jessica Winters: “Welcome to night two of the 2020 World’s Best tournament. We already off to some action as Gable Winchester and Devin Brando almost got into.”
Adam Allocco: “Their teams are going to meet later tonight. They can hash out their differences in that ring.”
Jessica Winters: “The second round is about to begin. Let’s recap what happened last night in the fiercely contested first round.”
Konrad pulls Gable to his feet. Marcus V. Lopez is climbing to his feet. M V comes running at Gable who tosses him up and Konrad grabs him for the Win-ter is Here! Violator goes to slide into the ring to break up the pin but Raab baseball slide in him. Gable Winchester hooks the leg:

Jessica Winters: “Honourable Win seizes the victory. Great teamwork at the end, knocking off one of the most experienced and decorated tag teams in this tournament.”
Jessica Winters: “Honourable Win sealed the deal after finding Win-ter is Here on Marcus V. Lopez. And after the match, Violator was not having it. He chewed out his partner.”
Adam Allocco: “But they were confronted afterwards by their opponents tonight, Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos.”
The cameras start to roll as the Dresser Boys, who are still arguing in the back, more so Violator yelling at M V. Marcus V. Lopez is just shaking his head. They walk into Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos. Faustina steps forward, looking them up and down.
Faustina Santos: “What a bunch of losers, right big guy?”
Jamarcus Avery nods.
Violator Black: “Yo, who you calling a losers? I ain’t no loser.”
Marcus V. Lopez: “Bonjour! He’s right. We’re just victory-deprived!”
Violator Black: “It’s called a fluke. A slip up. A malfunction. Tomorrow night is going to be different, because I’m going to kick your ass, big man and I’m going to spanks yours, baby.”
Marcus V. Lopez: “And M V is-“
Violator Black: “M V ain’t going to cost us the match.”
Jamarcus Avery steps up to Violator. The two men stare each other down.
Jamarcus Avery: “Watch how it’s done.”
Adam Allocco: “If scoring points in this tournament isn’t enough, now there’s pride at stake in tonight’s opening match. One of these teams will finally get some points on the board after their match, but which one? We’re going to find out.”
Jessica Winters: “Santos and Avery fell victim to Seduction shortly there after…”
Amelia jumps up with a high knee to catch Avery as he was falling forward. His head flies backwards as he staggers. He happens to turn towards Grace who is on the top rope. She leaps off catching him with a flipping neckbreaker. Amelia follows up with the Avenging Crash!
Jessica Winters: “Temptation! Amelia covers!”
1…

3!
Jessica Winters: “The married couple secures their first victory here in the tournament.”
Jessica Winters: “A strong start for the married couple as they look to go two and 0 tonight.”
Adam Allocco: “They might be the most unified team in this tournament. And they’re going to need to use that advantage as they’re going to go against the hot tag team, Pina Colada. They’re full of piss and vinegar.”
Jessica Winters: “They defeated Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes in the night main event…”
Delilah gets back on her two feet. They turn towards Devin and both charge forward to knock him over the top rope with a double clothesline. Lyza comes running towards Delilah and HUNG but HUNG meets her, counters with a whip into the ropes. HUNG throws her up, Delilah catches her with a cutter!
Jessica Winters: “Bar – Ca – Di Party!”
Adam Allocco: “Pin!”
1…

3!
Devin comes into the ring a second too late. And he lets out a frustrated yell. Delilah rolls off and she’s embraced by HUNG, who kisses her on the cheek.
Jessica Winters: “The rookies caught lightning in a bottle, but can they repeat their performance tonight against Seduction.”
Adam Allocco: “They didn’t seem green at all. They seemed more than able to tackle any challenge thrown their way.”
Jessica Winters: “Let’s take a look at the standings after the first night.”
(1-TIED) Honourable Win – 3pts
(1-TIED) Seduction – 3pts
(1-TIED) Pina Coladas – 3pts
(4-TIED) Dresser Boys – 0pts
(4-TIED) Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos – 0pts
(4-TIED) Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes – 0pts
Jessica Winters: “Seduction, Pina Coladas, and Honourable Win all are going to have the opportunity to add to their lead.”
Adam Allocco: “But Dresser Boys, Avery & Santos, Brando & Reyes can catch up and get put in a good position for next weekend.”
Jessica Winters: “We expect to see more separation in the standings tonight. But first, we’re going to be entertained by two teams looking for their first tournament wins. Four-Time SCW Tag Team Champions clash against the team of Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos.”
————————————————
The Dresser Boys [#4, 0pts] vs. Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos [#4, 0pts]
Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall… it will be officiated under standard SCW rules and regulations with a time limit of twenty minutes. Introducing first…”
“Shake Ya Tailfeather” from the Bad Boys soundtrack plays and Violator makes his way out onto the stage and continues walking to the ring as he’s focused on the match at hand. MV walks out second wearing a classic wrestling robe and he stops on the stage to pose for the crowd. MV hyping himself up from the cheery fans in attendances. Violator rolls into the ring and walks to their corner where he psychs himself up and MV begins his walk to the ring. MV walks up the steps and wipes his feet on the apron before entering the ring. MV de-robes and walks over to their corner and the two have some words before their match begins.
Phillips: “They are the team of Marcus V. Lopez and Violator, the DRESSER BOYS!”
Jessica Winters: “They seem to be on the same page. Nothing brings a team together than an external threat.”
Adam Allocco: “As I have mentioned before, I’ve competed against these men back in the 2000s. They’re accomplished. They might have a little ring rust, but they’re motivated now after what Avery and Santos said last night.”
Jessica Winters: “You never want someone to rub a loss in your face and that’s exactly what Avery and Santos did.”
“King Nothing” by Metallica echos from the louder speaker. The lights go out. When the lights come back on Faustina Santos appears on the stage. Behind her slightly to his left is JaMarcus Avery. He turns around. He takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the audience. He methodically walks down to the ring. Santos is skipping carefree behind him. He slides under the bottom rope. He takes a moment to open the rope for Santos. She enters. Santos sits on the top turnbuckle. He leans against the turnbuckle allowing the rest of the song plays out.
Jessica Winters: “Avery and Santos do not look like they’re in a happy mood.”
Adam Allocco: “They set themselves up to be humiliated and they probably feel that now after all, they lost too!”
Jessica Winters: “We’re still early in the tournament. There is a chance to make up lost ground. Both teams know that.”
Adam Allocco: “Remember, the top two ranked teams will meet at Taking Hold of the Flame in two months’ time. There’s still a lot of wrestling left to have.”
The bell rings. Violator and Avery start out. In fact, Violator pushes Marcus V. Lopez out of the way. Violator steps up to JaMarcus. Both men begin to run their mouths to the other. Finally, Violator backhands Avery. Avery turns his cheek, pauses for a moment, stunned. JaMarcus grabs Violator and tosses him into the corner. He charges in with shoulders. Shoulder after shoulder before he leads Violator out and cross the ring to the opposite corner. Violator spins behind Avery and shoves the big man chest first into the turnbuckle. He drives a liver punch before taking a hold the head and smashing it across the top turnbuckle.
Adam Allocco: “Early moments, a brawl has broken out between Violator and Avery.”
Jessica Winter: “Notice how their partners are watching with anticipation. All they’re missing is some popcorn. They have front row tickets to this fight breaking out between Violator and Avery!”
Adam Allocco: “Avery’s fighting back!”
Avery swing back an elbow that catches Violator in the jaw. Violator stumbles back, giving room for Avery to turn around. Rapid-fire right hands back Violator into the center. Avery reaches forward with a clothesline but Violator ducks underneath. Avery turns and is greeted by right hands from Violator. The crowd begins to cheer. Violator goes for a haymaker but Avery lowers his shoulder and buries it into Violator’s midsection. Violator is shoved all the way back against the corner. Avery begins to deliver shoulder after shoulder. Violator responds with elbows to the upper back, but they don’t seem to do any damage. Avery connects with an uppercut which launches Violator out of his shoes before Avery whips with all his might. Violator is catapulted into the opposite corner. Upon impact, Violator almost bounces over the turnbuckle. He lands on his feet but gets flattened by Avery.
Adam Allocco: “The bigger hitter getting the advantage in this one.”
Jessica Winters: “The referee is pulling his hair out. He keeps warning both Avery and Violator about closed fists. Neither are listening.”
Adam Allocco: “Avery’s showing Violator how it’s done.”
Violator had dropped down into a seat position. Avery grabs him by the shirt and pulls him up. There’s a punch to the gut followed by a right hook. Referee grabs at Avery’s fist and threatens him with disqualification. Avery growls. He whips Violator into the opposite corner again. Comes running in but Violator gets the boot up. Violator charges at him, connects with a running shoulder tackle, which Violator spins upon impact. Avery stumbles. Violator stands right back and drives a knee into the midsection. With his hands hooked together he clubs down the upper back of Avery. Violator backpedals into the ropes and comes towards Avery, but Avery lifts him and drills him into the canvas with a spinebuster!
Jessica Winters: “Is that the first wrestling move of the match?”
Adam Allocco: “I think so. So far, it’s all be strikes.”
Jessica Winters: “Avery putting his power on display right there. Violator’s grasping for air.”
Avery mounts Violator. He throws some hammer fists down before again the referee gets involved. He stands, spitting in the direction of the referee. Violator pulls himself up using the ropes. Avery comes charging and Violator dives underneath to spears him to the canvas. Now Violator hammers home some fists to Avery. Avery throws him off. Avery sits up and Violator meets him with a stiff kick to the chest. Violator backs up and tries another kick but this time Avery snatches the swinging leg. He stands up and pulls Violator in and delivers a leg-capture suplex. Instead of the pin, Avery stands over Violator, yelling down at him with words the cameras can pick up in this hot Puerto Rican crowd.
Jessica Winters: “This match as been all Avery and Violator. They haven’t made a tag yet. They’re just going after one another.”
Adam Allocco: “As I mentioned in the pre-match, there’s pride on the line. Last night did not sit well with either man. Now they’re trying their damnest to rectify things.”
Jessica Winters: “A war in the ring allright. And this crowd is loving fisticuffs.”
Avery grabbed Violator by the front of the shirt and lifted him up onto his feet. Violator spits in Avery’s face. Avery tosses him into Violator’s corner. Marcus V. Lopez makes the blind tag. Avery bullrushes Violator but Violator catches him with a boot. Violator fires off some elbows knocking Avery back. He steps back and again goes for a spear but as his shoulder strikes Avery, Marcus V. Lopez wraps around Avery with a sling blade! Violator holds out his hands, Marcus V. Lopez steps up, gets flipped onto Avery for the cover!
Jessica Winters: “Pin!”

Avery tosses Marcus V. Lopez off of him. Violator has since returned to his corner and Faustina seemed confident at the outcome.
Jessica Winters: “Only two but there’s a lot fight left in that man.”
Adam Allocco: “They got him off his feet several times, so they’re bringing the fight to Avery!”
Marcus V. Lopez steps back into the corner, waits for Avery to stand. He comes running forward, right into a powerslam by Avery. Avery doesn’t give M V a moment to rest, he grabs him by the throat and tosses him into his corner. Avery tags in Faustina. Avery lifts Marcus V. Lopez up for a powerbomb. Faustina climbs the top rope, leaps off, pulling Lopez down, assisting with the powerbomb. Faustina runs across the ring and knocks Violator off the apron. She comes back as Marcus V. Lopez is on his hands a knees and kicks him square in the jaw. Lopez jumps to his feet, holding his jaw, turns around, swinging neckbreaker in the center of the ring.
Jessica Winters: “Faustina covers Marcus V. Lopez after that neckbreaker!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “And a shoulder up.”
Adam Allocco: “Violator’s glaring at Faustina. He’s not happy at that cheap shot. He’s going to remember that, I promise you.”
Jessica Winters: “Right now Avery and Santos are in control of this match as this 2020 World’s Best second round match continues.”
Santos tags in Avery. They step over to the downed Marcus V. Lopez. Lopez is pulled to his feet, Avery hoists him up into the electric chair. Santos climbs onto the top rope. She leaps off with a cross body as Avery swings Lopez backwards. Avery drops his knee across M V’s chest and throws some punches down. He lifts Marcus V. Lopez by the head and tosses him into the neutral corner. He drives shoulder after shoulder into Lopez. He backs up as Marcus stumbles from the corner, he scoops M V up and slams him down. He walks over and tags in Faustina. Marcus rolls to the ropes and starts to pull himself up. Avery whips him into the ropes and on the rebound tosses him up with a flapjack. Faustina catches him with the codebreaker! Faustina goes for the pin as Avery knocks Violator off the apron.
Jessica Winters: “Brutal double team by Santos and Avery. The pin!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “M V kicks out. He needs to tag out. He’s in trouble!”
Adam Allocco: “Santos and Avery are cutting the ring in half. They have taken every opportunity to put the Dresser Boys away. Right now, like it or not, Marcus V. Lopez is the weak link.”
Jessica Winters: “He’s hanging on, braving the storm.”
Faustina backs up. She flies in with the Equalizer but Marcus V. Lopez sidesteps it. Russian legsweep takes them both down to the mat. Lopez nips up onto to his feet. He waves his arms to Violator before stepping forward, but Faustina rolls him up!

Marcus V. Lopez kicks out again. Both scrambles to their feet and Marcus V. Lopez runs over Faustina with a clothesline. She hurries back up, and there’s a kneelift facebuster. Faustina’s flies backwards, bounces off the ropes right into a northern lights suplex.
Jessica Winters: “Beautiful bridging northern lights suplex by Marcus V. Lopez!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “And Faustina shoots her shoulder up.”
Adam Allocco: “Both Avery and Violator are showing a lot faith and restraint. Neither entered the ring during the last few pin attempts.”
Jessica Winters: “This is an opportunity for M V to tag Violator back into this match. Can he make it?”
Marcus V. Lopez crawls towards his corner to make the tag but Faustina is up and dives down onto Lopez’s back with an elbow. She takes a hold of his leg and drags her into his corner. Avery slaps her on the shoulder and climbs in. He lifts him up in the front chancery. He pulls MV into his knee, spinebusters Lopez again as Faustina comes off with a springboard moonsault onto MV. Avery kneels down onto Marcus V. Lopez.
Jessica Winters: “Excellent teamwork and Marcus is pinned again!”
1…

Jessica Winters: “Violator has entered the ring, interrupting the pin fall as Avery stands to meet him.”
Violator and Avery begins to exchange punches. Violator seems to get the upperhand but he’s struck with the Equalizer by Santos. Violator falls back into the ropes and then out of the ring. Marcus finds his feet but he’s grabbed from behind by Santos. She has him in a full nelson. Avery lines up a powerful haymaker but Lopez slips from Santos grasp and Avery connects with Santos. Santos goes down. Avery turns to locate Marcus V. Lopez and there’s a tornado DDT to take him to the mat. The crowd explodes as M V pops up and points to the ceiling. He climbs up onto the top rope as Avery stirs. When Avery is on his feet, Marcus V. Lopez takes flight with a missile toe dropkick, to knock the big man off his feet.
Jessica Winters: “Marcus V. Lopez flies and takes down Jamarcus Avery!”
Adam Allocco: “And he’s hurrying for the pin here!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Avery gets the shoulder up!”
Marcus V. Lopez pops up to his feet and starts towards Violator to tag in but Santos blindsides him with a vicious running elbow. Violator enters the ring but the referee gets between Santos and Violator, ordering both to their corners. Marcus is down on one knee. He stands again and starts towards corner but he’s pulled back by Avery. Avery lifts him up and delivers a release german suplex, dropping M V on his head.
Jessica Winters: “There was M V’s opportunity!”
Adam Allocco: “The aggressors tend to win these close matches!”
Jessica Winters: “To think, the Dresser Boys, the most decorated team in this tournament, might go 0 and 2 to start off this tournament.”
Adam Allocco: “This is wrestling, crazier things have happened.”
Jessica Winters: “Avery tags in Faustina!”
Faustina baseball slides into Marcus V. Lopez. She takes on arm, and Avery takes the other. They yanks him up onto his feet. They whip Marcus V. Lopez into the ropes and on the rebound backbody drop by Avery, immediately followed up by a standing shooting star by Faustina!
Jessica Winters: “Beautiful display of athletics there by Faustina. The pin!”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Violator breaks up the pin attempt. Now Avery’s back in the ring.”
Adam Allocco: “I have a feeling all hell is about to break loose.”
Avery charges towards Violator but Violator pulls the top rope and Avery flies to the outside. Faustina comes running towards Violator but he back body drops her outside, she goes crashing down onto her partner. Avery and Faustina pull each other up to their feet. At this point, Violator whips a drowsy Marcus V. Lopez into the ropes, suicide dive takes down both Avery and Santos off their feet. Violator rolls to the outside of the ring. He whips Avery into the ring post, Avery collides with a thud. Santos comes running at him and he tosses her into the ring steps! Violator orders M V back into the ring where he goes to their corner. The tag is finally made.
Jessica Winters: “They made the tag.”
Adam Allocco: “Avery’s down on the outside.”
Jessica Winters: “Faustina rolls into the ring and she’s alone.”
Faustina, not knowing Violator’s the legal man, connects with the Equalizer on Marcus V. Lopez. Lopez rolls out of the ring. She turns, and she’s stunnered by Violator. She flails her arms about and Violator locks in the rearnaked choke. He drops back into the center of the ring. Faustina’s waves her arms, screaming in pain. A long couple of moments happen and Faustina’s screaming lessens, her moves become more sluggish. Avery finally recovers, sees this and starts into the ring. As he tries to climb over the top rope, M V has a hold of the top rope and whips it up into JaMarcus’s junk! Avery falls to the outside of the ring, holding his groin as Santos passes out. The referee calls for the bell.
Jessica Winters: “The Dresser Boys did! They were losing late, all hope almost seemed lost but somehow, some way they pulled together for the victory!”
Adam Allocco: “Poor Avery… I don’t want to image the damage had done to his manhood.”
Jessica Winters: “No doubt, after that talk yesterday, Jamarcus’s pride is hurting.”
Adam Allocco: “More than just his pride is hurting there.”
Phillips: “The winner of the match, by submission, Marcus V. Lopez and Violator Black… the Dresser Boys!”
Avery limps over to Santos. He lifts her up and hoists her over his shoulder and proceeds to carry her out. Meanwhile, Marcus V. Lopez is running around the ring, arms in the air celebrating as “Shake Ya Tailfeather”.
Jessica Winters: “Look at M V, he’s super happy about this victory.”
Adam Allocco: “He’s glad Violator’s not chewing him out.”
A black and white video vignette begins rolling on the screens, showing Lyza Reyes dressed as Charlie Chaplin on the moon. There is no dialogue, but simply piano music playing with the pace of the footage. She’s caught in the middle of a tug of war match between a U.S. Spaceman, and a small group of miniature aliens. Before determining which side pulls Lyza once and for all, the feed goes dead. Television static comes through, which leads to a shot of Devin Brando, standing in the center of war born chaos. Half of his face is painted with his former persona’s essence. He glides his hand down his face before he starts down the centerline. The venue goes black.
“There’s no right, there’s no wrong, there’s only popular opinion.”
All while these videos play, the introduction of “Clockwork” by Hyper comes and goes. When the beat drops, Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando make their way out from behind the curtain. Devin gives the world a solemn look while Lyza moves around him, taking in the energy of their environment. When she clears out of his way, the Last King starts his way down the ramp. Lyza takes the time to slap some of the hands of the fans. Brando doesn’t seem invested in the action. When they make their way to the end of the ramp, Devin looks to both sides of himself. Lyza stops in front of him and turns to face him. Brando’s eyes fall on her and she gives him a pat on the shoulder before backing away.
Adam Allocco: “No rest for the wicked. This tournament is moving on.”
Jessica Winters: “What’s this?”
Both Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando stop when confronted by the Dresser Boys who started towards the back. Violator, perhaps pumped up with adrenaline from that victory, steps up and starts jawing with Devin Brando.
Jessica Winters: “Devin Brando is once again exchanging words with the competition.”
Adam Allocco: “These two teams are competing next round in Jamaica.”
The cameraman grows closer enough, they pick up some of the dialogue.
Violator Black: “Your ass is next! Your ass is next!”
Devin Brando: “Get out of here! You don’t want this!”
Marcus V. Lopez slips in between the two men.
Marcus V. Lopez: “Bonjour!”
Devin Brando and Violator Black both shove M V aside. They take a step closer to one another as “Clockwork” continues to play. Finally, Lyza slips in between the two men. Violator turns the other cheek, hissing in frustration while Devin Brando seems to back down due to his partner’s intrusion. The Dresser Boys go around Devin and up the ramp.
Jessica Winters: “Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes cut into the Dresser Boys’ celebration to make their ring entrance. You wonder if that’s another mind game.”
Adam Allocco: “Devin Brando is making an enemy out of everyone it appears.”
Jessica Winters: “Earlier tonight, he exchanged words with Gable Winchester. And coming right up is the second round match between Honourable Win and the team Devin Brando and Lyze Reyes.”
Adam Allocco: “We want to take a break and thank everyone who is tuning in on this Easter Sunday!”
Jessica Winters: “Don’t forget to tune into Wednesday Night Breakdown, where we are going to see Regan Street challenge for the Television belt on her request to become Supreme Champion. Will Tommy Valentine be able to beat back the Hellcat?”
Adam Allocco: “Tommy’s team got the better of Frozen Hell to win those Tag Team Championships. Tommy Valentine’s on fire.”
————————————————
Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes [#4, 0 Pts] vs. Honourable Win (Gable Winchester/Konrad Raab) [#1, 3pts]
Phillips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty-minute time limit. Introducing first, already in the ring, weighing at a combined weight of 375 pounds, the team of Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes.”
With a nice turn of the heel, Reyes hit the ring steps while Devin opts to slide underneath the bottom rope. While the man rises, Lyza leaps over the top rope and scales the nearest turnbuckle. She points to some of the “Lyzanities.” When she gets off the turnbuckle, she turns to face the hard camera. Devin stands in their corner, seated against the second turnbuckle. She comes over and levels herself onto the top turnbuckle, finalizing their tandem as they await the beginning bell.
Jessica Winters: “Perhaps one of the more antagonistic teams in this tournament, they’re not looking to make any friends.”
Adam Allocco: “It’s an attitude. They’re approaching this with a certain edge. Last night, they fell short against the Pina Coladas. But I think this time is just getting started.”
Both Gable and Konrad come out at the top of the stage from either side as “Death Before Dishonour” blasts out around the arena. They both meet at the middle of the stage and fist bump before nodding to one another and walking down to the ring, slapping palms of the crowds as they go down before Gable slides into the ring and Konrad circles around, slapping more palms before climbing up the steps and into the ring. Both pose on opposite turnbuckles before standing together in the ring, talking amongst each other as they wait for the match to start.
Phillips: “And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 400 pounds… they are the team of Gable Winchester and Konrad Raab… Honourable Win!”
Adam Allocco: “Last night, Honourable Win had an honorable victory against the Dresser Boys. They have a 3pt lead, tied with Pina Coladas and Seduction. Those two teams competing in tonight’s main event.”
Jessica Winters: “We saw some great teamwork from Konrad and Gable. But they’re going against a team that have built up chemistry as sparring partners.”
Adam Allocco: “As we already mentioned, Gable Winchester and Devin Brando sounded off earlier to start the show. Devin didn’t enjoy Cookie acting as if he’s desperate for a victory. But let’s be honest here, if they drop to zero wins and two losses, they’ve been in a sizable hole.”
Jessica Winters: “And on the flip side, if Honorable Win seals the deal here, they will be looking at sharing first place in the standings with the winner of tonight’s main event.”
The bell rings. Lyza Reyes steps forwards, convincing Devin Brando to let her start the match. Konrad Raab hops up and down. Lyza approaches Raab. Raab pivots around her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She drops down, snapmare to bring Raab over. She wraps around him with a chinlock. He stands, whips her into the corner. He lowers his shoulder only to be kicked square in the chest. Lyza slaps on the front chancery. Raab pushes her against the corner. He manages to force his arms and peel away the hold. Raab drives a chop into the chest of Lyza. There’s another. Lyza responds with a knee to the midsection and then a hard hook. Raab stumbles backwards. Dropkick by Lyza knocks him off his feet. Raab rolls to his corner and backs up, tagging in Gable. Gable jumps out.
Jessica Winters: “Lyza and Devin wins the opening volley. Gable’s now the legal man. Let’s see if he fares better.”
Adam Allocco: “Gable is pointing at Devin. Calling for him to enter the match.”
Jessica Winters: “He’s basically ignoring Lyza Reyes. I don’t think that’s wise!”
As Gable steps forward, Lyza charges him from the side. Headscissors takesdown, throws Gable across the ring. Gable’s body bounces, rolls, but he is back up right away. He runs right into the arm drag by Lyza Reyes. He scrambles. This time he catches Lyza with his own arm drag. He doesn’t let go, he puts pressure on that elbow, his palm blading the joint. Lyza stands up. Gable then wrenches the arm. She rolls forward to escape the pressure. She goes to sweep out his leg but Gable hops over the sweeping arm but she manages to slip from Gable’s gasp in his effort. She reaches up, jawbreaker! Gable bounces backwards towards enemy territory. Lyza runs up with a front dropkick to launch him back into the corner.
Jessica Winters: “Excellent work so far by Lyza Reyes!”
Adam Allocco: “Gable wants Devin and make get his chance here. Lyza’s making the tag.”
Jessica Winters: “He might not want anyone opponents right now. Right now, his team is reeling.”
Lyza tags and backs up. Devin enters the ring. Lyza runs forward, monkey flips. As Gable’s body is tossed into the air, rotating, Devin catches it and sits down with a powerbomb. Gable’s lands stiffly on his head.

Jessica Winters: “And the Man of Win starves off an quick loss by kicking out.”
Adam Allocco: “Dangerous move there. That could have messed up Gable’s neck.”
Jessica Winters: “Some would refer to it as super effective.”

Devin waits for Gable to stand before taking him and whipping him into his corner. He tags in Lyza. Devin chucks Gable up into the air and Lyza catches him with the powerbomb.
Jessica Winters: “Another brutal double team by Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando onto Gable Winchester. Lyza pins his shoulders.”
1…
2…
Jessica Winters: “Again, Gable kicks out at two.”
Adam Allocco: “The tired old strategy of isolating one half of the opposing team is happening here and now.”
Jessica Winters: “Right now, Gable’s getting zero offense. This is a horrible start for their team in this second-round contest.”
Lyza steps over Gable and pulls him into a camel clutch. Gable shakes his head and Lyza applies the submission. For a few moments, Lyza as his arms pulled back but he manages to muscle his way through the hold. He stands up, Lyza’s on his back. He reaches up and tosses Lyza’s over his shoulder. She lands hard on her ass. Gable swings a stiff kick to her spine. She is launched up to her feet. She turns around and there’s tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for her efforts.
Jessica Winters: “Gable Winchester escapes the camel clutch. Beautiful tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Finally Honourable Win getting in some offense here.”
Adam Allocco: “Devin is calling for Lyza to hurry over to tag him back in while Gable’s recovering from damage he has sustained in the opening minutes of this contest.”

Jessica Winters: “Again, Gable kicking out after two.”
Adam Allocco: “Konrad Raab is losing his mind, watching as his tag team partner absorb this punishment.”
Jessica Winters: “Right now Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando are methodically breaking down Gable Winchester. This isn’t how this match supposed to go.”
Adam Allocco: “Gable Winchester, a tag team specialist, held the SCW Tag Team title on several occasions, with Stacy Kissinger, with Autumn Valentine. This isn’t how the script was written.”
Jessica Winters: “Gable Winchester needs to tag out.”
Lyza stomps a few times down onto Gable Winchester. He crawls towards the ropes. Lyza drops down to his side, applies a front facelock. She leads Gable to his feet. She backs into the corner.

Gable pops up, leg lariat takes Lyza down.
Jessica Winters: “This is Gable’s opportunity! Miscommunication and timing issues opened up the door. Can Gable go though it and tag in Konrad?!”

Gable flails towards the corner, trying to touch Konrad’s extended hand. Devin Brando pulls him away into the center of the ring. Gable shake his head. He’s yelling in pain as the submission is locked in tight.
Jessica Winters: “Oh no! So close!”
Adam Allocco: “A perfectly executed match by all means. They have Gable Winchester isolated. He’s hurting. This is the chemistry I was mentioning.”
Jessica Winters: “Lyza Reyes and Devin Brando are working as a unit.”
Referee slides down to see if Gable’s going to submit. Gable props himself up. He pushes himself up onto one leg, swings around and the momentum throws Devin towards the ropes. Devin stops himself and turns. Gable’s up, bent over, rubbing that ankle. Devin charges in with a clothesline but Gable ducks underneath. Devin turns, grabs Gable and tosses him towards the ropes. On the rebound, Gable connects with a flying forearm. He rolls to his corner and tags in Konrad Raab.
Jessica Winters: “Here comes Konrad Raab! All hyped up, ready to go!”
Adam Allocco: “The crowd’s red hot. Konrad’s red hot. Let’s see what damage Konrad Rab does! Can he reverse the tides?”
Devin is up onto his feet and Konrad clothesline him. Lyza Reyes enters the ring. Konrad Raab catches her with a belly-to-belly suplex. Lyza’s body rolls into Devin. They help each other up.

Jessica Winters: “Konrad Rabb has cleaned house!”
Adam Allocco: “Gable Winchester proclaimed that he knows Konrad Raab is a beast between the ropes, and here we go.”
Jessica Winters: “Devin’s getting the blunt of the offense. Reye’s recovering on the outside.”
Adam Allocco: “Hell, Devin was dropped onto her gut. She’s trying to hold in dinner.”
Konrad Raab, still hyped up, throws his arms up, calling for Devin to stand. Devin does so. With a yell, he lunges for Raab but Raab tosses him over the top rope. He goes flying to the outside, colliding with Reyes. Reyes and Devin help each other their feet. The turn, Raab’s on the apron, springboard moonsault takes both Reyes and Brando off their feet. The crowd cheers loudly.
Jessica Winters: “Konrad Raab is a one man wrecking ball right now.”
Adam Allocco: “He’s energized. He tasted victory for the first time this year last night, he wants more.”
Jessica Winters: “What seems to be a perfect match wrestled by Reyes and Brando, is now unraveling. They’re on their heels!”
[1] Konrad Raab pulls himself up using the apron. He watches both opponents stir on the outside. [2] Lyza Reyes is the first. Gable’s back moving energetically. Raab points towards the top rope. [3] From behind Raab hoists Lyza onto his shoulder. [4] From the top rope, Gable flies with a flying clothesline, connecting as Konrad swings backwards for the electric chair drop!

He’s rolls Konrad Rabb into the ring at the last possible moment to break the ring count. Immediately, Devin’s on top of Raab. Devin begins to drive knees down onto the shoulder and head of Raab.
Jessica Winters: “Close call there with the count out. This match has returned to the ring.”
Phillips: “Ten minutes remaining. Ten minutes remaining.”
Jessica Winters: “Ten minutes have elapsed in this match.”
Adam Allocco: “If the time limit is met, both teams will gain a point in a draw. Not ideal for Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes if they want to remain in the hunt.”
Devin underhooks Raab’s arms and yanks him to his feet. He clubs Raab’s upper back a few times before underhooking the arms again. He tosses Raab over with the double underhook suplex. Raab’s body bounces and rolls to a corner. Devin starts over and grabs the top ropes. He jumps down, stomping onto Raab in the corner. Devin pauses for a moment to search for Lyza. Lyza is finally stirring on the outside after that brutal double team from Honorable Win. He exchanges some words as she stands, she returns to her corner.

Devin Brando whips Raab across the ring from one neutral corner to the next. He comes running in with a clothesline.
Jessica Winters: “Devin Brando now singling out Konrad Raab.”
Adam Allocco: “Lyza Reye’s finally back on the apron. Gable Winchester’s looking lively for a man who endured a lot of punishment early in this contest.”
Jessica Winters: “What is Devin thinking now? He’s climbing up to the top rope.”
Standing onto the second rope, his legs braced by the top. He reaches down and hoists Konrad Raab up onto his shoulder. He goes for the powerbomb but Raab counter with a frankensteiner. The crowd explodes. Both competitors are down in the middle of the ring.
Jessica Winters: “Frankensteiner by Konrad Raab. That might have been the great equalizer.
Adam Allocco: “Devin looking for a home run, swings and a miss. Hell, he’s hit by the pitch.”
Jessica Winters: “Both corners are trying to cheer their partners on to make the tag.”
Devin Brando and Konrad Raab crawls towards their corner. The crowd’s building up with anticipation. Who’s going to make the tag first? Both simultaneously make the tag. Gable Winchester and Lyza Reyes runs into the ring. They come at each other. Lyza Reyes wraps around Winchester for a crucifix takedown which plants Winchester on the back of his head. Winchester holds his head but he gets back up immediately. Lyza Reyes with a series of forearms, batters Winchester before she backs up into the corner. She comes running in, running hurricanrana but Winchester tosses her off and she flies into the turnbuckle. She bounces, scrambles to her feet. She runs forward, Gable Winchester with the spear. He throws his arm up and yells something as he points to the corner. He jumps onto the top rope and leaps off with the beautifully executed moonsault.
Jessica Winters: “Moonsault off the top rope. The pin!”
1…

Jessica Winters: “Lyza Reyes kicks out!”
Adam Allocco: “The Dragonslaying, Foundation Laying, Alcohol Swilling, Legend Thrilling, Man of Win with a missed opportunity there. Devin’s kneeling on the outside. He couldn’t break up the pin even if he wanted to.”
Jessica Winters: “He’s slow to get up himself. This match is starting to take a heavy toll on all competitors.”
Gable Winchester stumbles to his feet and tags in Konrad Raab. They approach Lyza as she stirs. She gets up to one knee and Raab throws him forward with the double knee codebreaker. Gable hits the release german suplex, dropping Lyza into the center of the ring:
Jessica Winters: “Konrad Raab with the cover!”

Adam Allocco: “That might have been it, but Devin Brando manages to tackle Gable Winchester right into the pin attempt.”
Devin Brando and Gable Winchester begins to exchange punches off to the side. Konrad Raab climbs up behind Brando. Gable Winchester blocks a punch from Devin and points behind him.

Jessica Winters: “Lyza Reyes managing to foil Honourable Win’s finish there.”
Adam Allocco: “She’s dodged a bullet and returned fire.”
Jessica Winters: “Gable and Devin are on the outside. Raab and Lyza are legal. A momentarily break in the storm as both Raab and Lyza are trying to recover.”
Raab walks towards Lyza who is on one knee. He strikes with a jab, jab, he steps back and throws a cross but Lyza’s takes his arm and brings him down to the mat. She locks in the fujiwara armbar! Konrad Raab immediately feels the pain. Lyza bridges, trying to exert even more pain. Konrad Raab reaches for the ropes but they’re out of reach.
Jessica Winters: “Lyza Reyes reading Konrad’s intentions, now he’s trapped in that dangerous fujiwara armbar.”
Adam Allocco: “He could tap here.”
Jessicas Winters: “You can tell he’s in a world of hurt right now. Lyza Reyes might win this!”
Raab clenches his fists and pounds on the canvas once. He doesn’t tap. The referee is there, asking if he submits. Raab yells. Raab tries to kick himself over to stop Lyza’s ability to hyperextend that arm. Lyza’s keep it locked in tight. Raab free hand hovers over the canvas. He seems on the verge to tap.
Jessica Winters: “Konrad Raab is going to tap. He’s going to tap!”
Adam Allocco: “He’s trying to go to a special place where the pain doesn’t exist but that’s not working. He’s in hell right now. Just give! Just give, Konrad!”
Jessica Winters: “If he doesn’t, Reyes might break that arm!”
Gable is in the ring and he swings a kick right in Lyza’s face. She releases the hold. Raab immediately brings in that arm and clutches it as he lies on there on the canvas. Gable stomps down onto Reyes. Referee gets in between and orders Gable back to his corner. Raab remains cradling himself in the center of the ring. Reyes stands and immediately approaches Raab.

Adam Allocco: “The fight is left in Raab. Devin Brando is in disbelief.”

Jessica Winters: “Oh my god! With a second remaining before the time limit, Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes gets the pin.”
Adam Allocco: “What a match!”
Jessica Winters: “Both teams fought their hearts out. If it wasn’t the miscommunication between Gable Winchester and Konrad Raab that could have been a very different result.”
Phillips: “The winners of the match, by pin fall… the team of Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes!”
Gable slides into the ring and just holds his head in frustration. Devin Brando and Lyza Reyes stare at each other with a grin as they breathe heavily. “Clockwork” by Hyper hits the sound systems. Devin Brando walks over to Gable Winchester and holds out his hand. Winchester looks at it, hesitates for a moment before accepting the handshake.

Adam Allocco: “I think maybe Gable and Devin found respect for each other in that contest.”

————————————————
The cameras rolls backstage where Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos are gathered in the infirmary. Faustina is rubbing her neck. Avery is tapping his foot, his arms crossed. They’re still in the ring gear. A paramedic steps away from Faustina.
Faustina Santos: “What are going to do?”
Jamarcus Avery: “It’s not over.”
Faustina Santos: “We’re zero for two.”
Jamarcus Avery: “And there’s three matches left. We win those three.”
Faustina Santos: “It’s no fun being a pair of punching bags, is it?”
Jamarcus Avery: “So then, what do you want do? Let’s change it.”
Faustina Santos: “You know, you’re right. Let’s have some fun.”
Avery nods as Faustina pulls him in to whisper in his ear. The cameras cut to the ringside announcer’s table.
Jessica Winters: “They’re up to something. I’m not liking the feeling that they’re planning something devious.”
Adam Allocco: “Two matches in the bag, five in all for the 2020 World’s Best Tournament, brought to you live from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Thank for you all who are tuning in on our live broadcast on Twitch.”
Jessica Winters: “What an amazing night so far, right? Dresser Boys and Reyes & Brando both got on the board with some points. Winner of tonight’s main event will take the lead in the standings going in to round three of the tournament.”

The Pina Coladas (Delilah/HUNG) [#1, 3pts] vs. Seduction (Amelia Robson/Dr Grace Morningwood) [#1, 3pts]
Philips: “The following match is scheduled for one fall, with a time minute of twenty minutes, fall underneath standard SCW rules and regulations…”
The lights around the arena begin to flicker as the iconic guitar opening to Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen” begins to play. Dr. Grace Morningwood and “Supergirl” Amelia Robson burst out from behind the curtain, immediately playing to the fans around the arena. They make their way down the ramp, slapping hands of the fans along the ring. Once down at the bottom of the ramp, they hop onto the apron, going back to back as they pose for the crowd. They climb into the ring and move around the four corners, one on the turnbuckle, the other on the ropes just to her right.
Phillips: “Introducing first… at a combined weight of 210 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada… the team of “The Good Doctor” Grace Morningwood and “Supergirl” Amelia Robson…. they are SEDUCTION!”
Jessica Winters: “Despite being fan favorites around the world, they’re not exactly getting a positive reaction from the crowd.”
Adam Allocco: “It isn’t anything against them, it’s who makes up one half of their opposing team.”
Jessica Winters: “Last night, the married couple from Toronto bested Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos. Currently standing at the top the leaderboard with three points. They’re looking to extend that lead by defeating this next team.”
The lights go out with a flip of the switch as the opening to Escape by Rupert Holmes hits over the P.A System, all eyes then divert to the stage as a pink and yellow hue begins to emanate from the lights. The large Screen explodes into life with the words…
::The Following is a HUNG Production::
Then there is an explosion of liquid hitting the screen and washes away to reveal video of HUNG & Delilah strutting towards the screen along a beach. We then see various shots of them having fun, doing various activities. Surfing, jet skiing. Volleyball etc… The sun shines brightly, Hung is dressed in a multi-colour print shirt while Delilah is wearing a t-shirt tied at the waist and hot pants.
Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, hailing from California… They weigh in tonight at a combined weight of Three hundred and five lbs. They bring with them the Rum and the Tumble… They are the PINA COLADAS!!”
Two spotlights shine down onto the stage now, one pink and one yellow, standing in a beam each is HUNG who is staring at his camera lens talking and Delilah who waves to the crowd. The arena lights come up next fully as the fans cheer for the two young talents. The pair walk towards each other and high five before heading down towards the ring, HUNG making sure to take Selfies with the fans and Delilah along the way since he can’t help himself. The pair quickly slide into the ring together and make their way to different corners. HUNG pointing the camera outwards to get a better view of the crowd while Delilah grins and waves. The two then jump down and head to their corner, HUNG walks over and calls for the microphone from Phillips.
Jessica Winters: “I guess HUNG wants to address his home crowd.”
Adam Allocco: “That god damn smirk on his face. You just want to slap him upside the head. He’s a slappable person, Jessica.”
Jessica Winters: “You might get mugged if you do that here in Puerto Rico.”
HUNG: “SAN JAUN, PUETRO RICO!”
The crowd explodes.
HUNG: “My home!”
HUNG thrust the microphone out towards the crowd and they get even louder. HUNG turns towards his opponents, both members of Seduction.
HUNG: “Mamacitas, you are welcomed to the party but I’m afraid that this is a little hot and wild for you. You’re gonna get a hangover, if you know what I mean.”
HUNG winks at Seduction. Neither members seem impressed. They cross their arms as HUNG rubs his chin. Delilah steps up next to him, whispers into his ear. HUNG nods.
HUNG: “I’m afraid the train has left the station, you see. BUT there’s always the afterparty, and all is welcomed… every fan in attendance, even our fallen foes… tonight’s the night we pull off all the stops! We’re PINA COLADAS!”
Jessica Winters: “Seduction does not look like they’re terribly impressed with the rookie team.”
Adam Allocco: “HUNG is my kind of guy. He has a good head on his shoulders.”
Jessica Winters: “A minute ago, you spoke about wanting to slap him upside the head. “
Adam Allocco: “HUNG has definitely grown on me.”
Grace yanks the microphone from HUNG’s hands. She actually is booed by the Puerto Rican crowd.
Grace Morningwood: “I’m afraid, amigo. That we’re going to be two party poopers and going to rain on your parade. We’ll be the ones celebrating our victory while you are more than free to drown yourselves in misery. But all I ask, as a doctor, that you’ll drink responsibly.”
HUNG smirks, shrugs his shoulders. The crowd boos. Grace doesn’t seem affected at all. She tosses the microphone to Phillips as she waves for Amelia to go to the corner. HUNG motions that he has things handled to Delilah and she enters her corner.
Jessica Winters: “Seems like the time for words is over. Typically, Grace Morningwood is a crowd favorite, but not here tonight.”
Adam Allocco: “They have rallied around this city’s prodigal son.”
Jessica Winters: “The Good Doctor doesn’t seem to be letting the boos get to her, but who knows what’s going down in his mind. She’s wrestling in a hostile environment that’s for sure.”
The bell rings. HUNG dances up to Dr. Grace Morningwood. He extends his arms and mouths something but Morningwood drives a chop into his chest. She drills another and another. He backpedals, holding his chest in pain, looking as if he’s wounded by the attacks. He spins around and runs at Grace this time, she tosses him with an arm drag. Both back to their feet. Again Grace catches an aggressive HUNG with an armdrag. Drop toehold brings HUNG to his feet and she hops over fore a side headlock. He immediately stands, lifts her up for a back suplex but she rolls over, landing on her feet. Grace shoves HUNG into her corner. She runs up with a dropkick to his upperback. She tags in Amelia. Amelia jumps up onto HUNG’s shoulder. He starts to fall back as she sway her weigh. Grace Morningwood with a dropkick, feeding into reverse hurricarana from Amelia. HUNG’s head is sickly planted into the canvas.
Jessica Winters: “Dropkick, posion rana combination looks absolutely lethal.”
Adam Allocco: “That double team move left the crowd speechless. HUNG’s hurting early in this contest.”
Jessica Winters: “Surprisingly, no pin attempt by Amelia. She continues on offense.”
Amelia drops an elbow square on HUNG’s chest. She drops a second and then a third in quick succession. HUNG rolls over to ropes and finds sanctuary underneath the bottom. After a moment, he pulls himself up on the outside on the apron. Amelia charges forward to knock him off the apron, but he dodges the attack. He takes a hold of Amelia’s head and drops off the apron, bringing her face across the top rope. She bounces back as he slides in. He runs pass her and on rebound takes her down for a bulldog. HUNG tags in Delilah. Delilah with the front facelock of a rising Amelia, she jumps up, HUNG swings her legs around Amelia’s for a high velocity tornado DDT.
Jessica Winters: “The torque behind that DDT might have at least strained Amelia’s neck muscles.”
Adam Allocco: “Amelia’s holding her neck in pain.”
Jessica Winters: “Some big shots taken in the early going of this contest.”
Delilah comes running, rolling senton crashes down onto Amelia. Amelia rolls out to the apron to escape further offense. She pulls herself up to a standing position on the apron. Delilah knocks her off the apron with a running elbow smash. Amelia flies out and lands harshly on the guard rail. Delilah steps out onto the apron now. She jumps down with a double axhandle to send Amelia down to the floor. The referee starts to count. [1] Delilah grabs a hold of Amelia and whips her into the steel steps. [2] Grace Morningwood, not having watching her wife take a beating on the outside, hops off. [3] HUNG spots Grace’s intentions and leaves as well. Meanwhile, Amelia’s up and she suddenly pushes Delilah back into the guard rail. She reaches back and drills Delilah with a hard right elbow. [4] HUNG and Grace Morningwood runs around the ring. They separate Delilah and Amelia from one another. [5] Amelia’s tossed backwards into the ring post, hitting her head hard. Delilah is thrown into the front row onto recently vacated steel chairs. [6] HUNG takes a hold of Amelia’s head and goes to smash her against the ring post but Amelia puts her boot out to block the attempt. Grace Morningwood comes charging, she uses the ring steps as a platform and she flies to take down HUNG with a shining wizard.
Jessica Winters: “All hell has broken out on the outside here.”
Adam Allocco: “The crowd is loving this brawl that’s unfolding before our very eyes. A violent bunch the San Juan audience.”
Jessica Winters: “We might see a double countout here.”
Adam Allocco: “That means that both Seduction and Pina Colada would be tied in first, earning a point a piece.”
[7] Amelia rolls into the ring. Delilah push past the steel chairs to fight to her feet. [8] Delilah steps over the guard rail. Meanwhile, Grace has HUNG by the head and goes to toss him into the guard rail but he reverse and he whips her hard into the guard rail [9] Delilah slides into the ring where she immediately met by Amelia. Amelia applies a front facelock and pulls her to her feet. Vertical suplex in the center of the ring.
Jessica Winters: “Vertical suplex gracefully executed by Amelia Robson onto Delilah. Robson floats over.”

Adam Allocco: “Delilah kicks out. Gonna take a lot more punishment than that to stop her. She had pedigree after all.”
Delilah finds her feet and she is dropkicked by Amelia into the corner. On the outside, HUNG hoists Grace Morningwood up onto his shoulder. Running powerbomb, the security clears the crowd out of the way, and HUNG darts Grace intro the front row steel chairs. The crowd explodes with cheers. HUNG drops to a knee. Back into the ring, Amelia runs in but gets a boot to the face for the effort. Delilah swarms Amelia with kicks to the thigh and calves. Amelia is reeling, absorbing damage to her leg. Pause in the action. Amelia runs forward. Delilah monkey flips Amelia into the corner where she hits the thud. HUNG is back in his corner and he is tagged in by Delilah. Amelia is pulled from the corner and a kick drops her to her knees. Both Pina Coladas hit the opposite ropes and comes back with a driveby kick to the chest and back simultaneously. They lifts their hands, toasting each other before HUNG hooks the leg on Amelia.
Jessica Winters: “This could be it! Grace is disposed. Amelia’s pinned in the middle of the ring!”

Jessica Winters: “Amelia Robson shoots a shoulder up.”
Adam Allocco: “Amelia’s isolated right now. Grace has yet to come forth from the wreckage of the steel chairs.”
Jessica Winters: “There are ‘HUNG’ chants filtering through the audience ever since that running powerbomb to Grace.”
HUNG shoves Amelia over onto her belly. He reaches down and delivered a deadlift german suplex. He walks over to Delilah to tag her back in. HUNG hurries over and pulls Amelia with a front facelock. Delilah is on the top rope and she jumps down with a double stomp on the back of Amelia. HUNG returned to his corner, only to be tagged in immediately. They both stalk Amelia. Amelia struggles to her feet and she’s superkicked simultaneously by the Pina Coladas.
Jessica Winters: “Superkicks! Pin!”

Jessica Winters: “Amelia escapes the pin attempt at the very last possible second.”
Adam Allocco: “You have to be impressed by this rookie tag team. To me, it seems as if they’ve been teaming and wrestling for a decade.”
Jessica Winters: “Outstanding understanding by both Delilah and HUNG paired with great chemistry.”
Adam Allocco: “We’re looking at another possible upset from the pairing.”
HUNG is tagged back in. He takes a hold of Amelia’s arm, yanks her to her feet and whips her into the ropes. On the return he goes to lift her but she connects with the spinning heel kick. Amelia lands on her hands and knees. Delilah charges her but she pops up for the spear! Amelia is up on her feet, the adrenaline seems to be flowing. HUNG is kneeling and he is taken out with a buzzsaw kick. The crowd begins to boo but Amelia doesn’t care as she runs past Delilah, springboards off and takes Delilah down to the canvas with a bulldog.
Jessica Winters: “Supergirl might be more than a moniker as Amelia Robson is taking on both members of Pina Coladas on her own.”
Adam Allocco: “She has a burst of adrenaline, looking invincible. But eventually… the numbers games will always win.”
Amelia goes to the corner and climbs up onto the top rope. She leaps off, landing on HUNG’s shoulder. Avengercarana into the pin!

Jessica Winters: “No! Delilah breaks up the pin attempt by Amelia. That might have been Amelia’s only chance.”
Adam Allocco: “Grace’s back in action. Good news for Amelia if she can make the tag.”
Grace throws herself onto the apron and drags herself up. She reaches her arms out. Meanwhile, both HUNG and Amelia are down. They care crawling to their corners. HUNG leaps forward and gets the tag first. Delilah comes charging forward as Grace makes the tag. Delilah leaps with her knee but Grace dodges. Delilah bounces off the turnbuckle back into a nicely timed neckbreaker. Grace flies into the ropes as Delilah scrambles to her feet. She’s knocked over by a rolling wheel kick. Grace then charges into the corner to knock HUNG off the apron. Grace steps out onto the apron, springboard, catches Delilah with an armdrag. Delilah’s rolls through with the momentum and bounces into the corner. Grace throws her arms up and she handsprings forward with an elbow. Amelia with the blind tag. Delilah is staggering away. Grace hops onto the top rope, Cold Blooded flipping neckbreaker and Amelia comes down with the Avenging Clash!
Jessica Winters: “Tempation hit!”

Jessica Winters: “NO! HUNG made the save! The referee signals only two.”
Adam Allocco: “Talk about waiting until the last possible second.”
HUNG and Delilah huddle together as Amelia and Grace go to opposite corners. They climb to the top rope. HUNG And Delilah stand in the middle of the ring. Seduction leaps off the top rope to attack but Delilah and HUNG catches each with a superkick. The crowd pops loudly. Amelia and Grace drop into the corners. HUNG lifts Grace up into the muscle buster and Delilah climbs onto the top rope. Cherry Popper! Grace rolls out of the ring. The referee is ordering HUNG Back to his corner and he does so reluctantly as Amelia stirs in the corner. Delilah makes the tag. Amelia propels herself out of the corner towards HUNG, HUNG tosses her up into the air where Delilah catches her with the cutter.
Jessica Winters: “That’s it! Bar-Cad-Di Party!”

Jessica Winters: “Another upset by these rookie upstarts! Pina Coladas has had a weekend in Puerto Rico for the ages.”
Adam Allocco: “Seduction looked to have had it sealed but somehow, Pina Colada pulled away with the victory.”
“Escape” by Rupert Holmes hit. HUNG and Delilah area dancing the ring with the crowd cheering. Seduction is on the outside of the ring, recouping from the loss. Suddenly, boos rain down and HUNG stops his dancing to look confused. HUNG and Delilah turns around and there’s Jamarcus Avery and Faustina Santos with steel chairs. They’re whacked over the head in unison.
Jessica Winters: “The winless team of Avery and Santos are out here and they’re resorting to other means to get the edge.”
Adam Allocco: “I don’t know if Santos and Avery has thought this through. They might not make it out of the arena if they keep this up!”
Avery throws his chair down onto the canvas. Faustina tosses Delilah into Avery, Avery with a t-bone suplex right onto the steel chair. Delilah bounces and rolls out of the ring, most likely to safety. Avery and Faustina pick up the chairs. They whack the canvas. HUNG stumbles to his feet. Double chair shot, HUNG’s head is sandwiched. The crowd boos even louder. Cups and other garbage begins to pellet Avery and Santos.
Adam Allocco: “That’s it! I got to put a stop to this. There is no way I’m going to let these two punks spoil my tournament.”
Jessica Winters: “Oh wait!”
Seduction slides into the ring behind Avery and Santos. Both turn around and the chairs are pulled from their hands. Seduction swings the chairs forward but Avery and Santos bail from the ring. They begin to cower up the ramp while medical staff come down to check on Hung and Delilah.
Adam Allocco: “They can’t win so they going to do some damage before their next round. Avery and Santos are despicable, and if I’m saying, it must be true!”
Jessica Winters: “Seduction doing the right thing and despite losing to Pina Coladas, they weren’t going to stand by and watch them be assaulted in such a matter.”
Adam Allocco: “Delilah seems to be recovering, but all eyes are on HUNG. The hometown hero has been assassinated. Avery and Santos better run before they get mobbed.”

The scene fades with that situation unfolding. We’re backstage in a studio, where Cookie is standing there, this time she’s in a bunny outfit, with a puffy white tail and long black bunny ears. Behind here is a screen of the current standings.
(1) Pina Colada – 6pts
(2-TIED) Seduction – 3pts
(2-TIED) Honourable Win – 3pts
(2-TIED) Dresser Boys – 3pts
(2-TIED) Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes – 3pts
(6) Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos – 0pts
Cookie: “Oh gosh, what a marvelous night of tag team wrestling on this Easter. I can’t believe how sore of losers Jamarcus and Faustina are! But in one week’s time, we’ll be going to Jamaica, mon! And the Pina Coladas are going to have the opportunity to get some justice! Yippee!”
Cookie takes a sharp intake of air before continuing.
Cookie: “Let’s look ahead at the third round of the 2020 World’s Best tournament. Here we go!”
The card for the third-round matches is now shown:
The Dresser Boys (3 pts) vs. Devin Brando/Lyza Reyes (3 pts)
Cookie: “Devin Brando seems to be getting on everyone’s wrong side. Him and Violator has some beef, and that’s going to be the feature attraction for this third round match. Both teams are currently tied in second in the rankings with three points a piece, but a win in Jamaica will bring the victors closer to the finals! ”
Pina Coladas (6 Pts) vs. Jamarcus Avery/Faustina Santos (0Pts)
Cookie: “As I mentioned a few moments ago, what a bunch of sore losers Jamarcus and Faustina turned out to be! These meanies ruined HUNG’s night in his hometown and I have feeling the delicious Pina Coladas are going to want to even the score! Right now, they’re alone at the top of the rankings, and a win will only add to their lead!”
Seduction (3pts) vs. Honourable Win (3pts)
Cookie: “Who knows if Honourable Win is going to be on the same page after Konrad Raab’s made a mistake! Seduction is looking to get back on track, and I bet their marriage is a strong as ever. Which team is going to step up to the plate and hit a homerun!”
Cookie poses to the camera, lifting both hands up to the bottom of her chin.
Cookie: “I’ll be here next week, so come join me and my friends for another incredible dose of tag team wrestling in this 2020 World’s Best: Tag Team Tournament!”
A quick highlight reel is played before the SCW logo is shown and the scene fades to black.
