Dickie Harter is standing with some young fans, who all seem excited to see him at the show. They’re asking him about tomorrow night and his match against Dom Harter at Christmas Bash. Dickie admits he’s nervous about facing such a big name, but he understands Dom’s reasons for taking the match – he thinks they’re petty and childish, but this is Dom Harter we’re talking about!
One of the older fans seems to be in Dom’s camp; she tells Dickie that it’s Dom Harter who hits harder! But Dickie just nods and says he’s heard that. But he’s not backing down from Dom. Not tomorrow, not ever. Not when his fans are cheering him on, not when his fans have faith in him. Not while there’s people wanting to see Dickie do what he does best. More than that, Dickie knows what a win against Dom can do for his career – or even just pushing Dom to his limit! And that’s why Dickie’s heading into Christmas Bash tomorrow with his head held high.
Singles Match
Goro Matsunaga vs. Noah Ortega
The divide in experience was clearly shown in this match. Noah started off the match in firm control over Goro, and even a few minutes later into the contest things did not look as if they were going to change. Noah used his speed and his quickness to take Goro down with hit and run styled strikes. Ortega launched himself using the ropes and catch Matsunaga with a running super kick that looked nasty. This was only part one of the “Trifecta” as Noah followed up the super kick with a spinning back kick. The second boot doubled Matsunaga over. Noah turned to finish out the set with the last but not least Pele Kick. However as soon as he turned his back to Matsunaga, Goro quickly shot underneath Noah and performed a deceptively quick School Boy pin. Noah was in complete shock as one second he was about to put his signature on the end of the match, and the very next second Matsunaga stole one from him. Goro quickly rolled out of the ring and went out to celebrate and high five the SCCW fans, while Noah was adamantly pleading his case with the official to no avail.
Winner: Goro Matsunaga (9:45)

Ria Escárcega is shown backstage, talking about the waves she’s been making over in SAKURA! Pro. And she seems to think the reason her success hasn’t been matched here in SCCW is because management is holding her down. Giving shots to people like Melody Marshall or Blake Belladonna. Having Caintigern and Z compete for the SCCW Championship. But Ria promises that soon enough, nobody in SCCW will be able to ignore her.
Singles Match
Iwan Christ vs. Ria Escárcega
Christ controlled most of the match, showing why he’s one of the brightest talents here in SCCW. The hits came thick and fast as he took Ria down with a running kneedrop facebuster and a jumping leg lariat in the first few minutes, but she stayed in there. Escárcega even managed to turn the tables when she countered a back body drop with a DDT. Her advantage lead her to hitting a running crossbody to a seated Iwan Christ, before she threw him out through the ropes. Ria took a moment to taunt the crowd before hitting a suicide somersault senton, but Iwan kicked out at two.
After that, however, Christ got back into the swing of things. He nailed his opponent with a springboard inverted DDT, but that wasn’t enough. So he followed up with a moonsault double foot stomp. But Ria kicked out at two. Iwan continued for a few more minutes, taking Ria down with move after move until she was dazed by the ropes. A quick O’Connor roll by Christ got reversed; Ria rolled through and grabbed the tights as the referee counted the three, blissfully unaware of the cheating.
Winner: Ria Escárcega (11:03)
After the match, Ria rolled out to celebrate in the aisle as Iwan looked on in shock. He couldn’t believe he lost like that, nor that the referee would believe him about the handful of tights. Ria made the crybaby gesture towards Iwan as she left, but the New Zealander just shook his head, unhappy at the loss.

The team of Ash Fi and Sarah Campbell are talking. They’re concerned about what happened earlier with The Caffiends, and what mood they’ll be in for the main event match. Ash Fi doesn’t necessarily like what Ricky Vega said earlier, knowing that she’s been making waves in FGA too, but she doesn’t condone what Dewey and Sullivan did.
Sarah speaks up, between sips of her Irn Bru, saying that they’ll be fine if they just do what they always do. That British pride will carry them through like it usually does, and The Caffiends ain’t gonna know what hit them!
Previously Recorded…
A video is shown with Wally Lee at the front and center of the Delaware Coastal Airport. He has his travel bag slung over his shoulder as he fully steps out of his Uber. He has a serious look on his face as he walks around the side to open the door for his fiancé McKenna Kingsley. He speaks to the SCCW cameras with a solemn tone.
He says that this is what taking care of business looks like. He says that he's about to catch a plane and skip the pond to perform for SSWA. McKenna looks pleased by his side as she buries her face against his neck, slyly eyeing the cameras as well. He says that the call was sudden, but that despite the last minute call he can't deprive the world of seeing him perform at the highest level. He says that he’d never turn his back on his home, and that as soon as he’s taking care of business abroad he’s getting right back on a plane and coming home to settle up with PBR.
McKenna speaks out next. She says that Wally is getting better every time he steps into the ring. She says that Wally was already better than Robinson today, and for him to imagine how much better he'll be tomorrow. Wally cuts in, saying that it’s “Bomb Voyage” for PBR once he comes marching back into Sussex ready for a fight! The video abruptly ends with a sudden jab of Wally’s fist right into the frame, blacking out the camera's feed.
MAIN EVENT
Tag Team Match
The Caffiends vs. Ash Fi & Sarah Campbell
As expected from their earlier appearance, The Caffiends showed up in no mood to mess around. Early on they isolated Sarah Campbell, using their size and strength to wear her down. Dewey used his gutbuster and belly to belly suplex, while Sullivan favoured suplexes. A bridging Northern lights suplex scored him a two count, but Ash Fi made the save.
Campbell managed to create an opening in the sixth minute though. She fought her way out of a Pibb powerbomb, and countered with a hurricanrana – albeit a sloppy one! She nearly made the tag out, only to get caught from behind by Dewey Dresden and a German suplex. The Caffiends maintained control for another minute, but Sarah took Sullivan down with a Thesz press before tagging out! Ash Fi came in like a house on fire and took the fight to both Caffiends.
Pibb got caught by a sitout side slam, while Dresden got drilled by the Warp Spasm (Over Shoulder Back Kick). The big man was dazed, but got taken off his feet by the Crann Tabhaill (Springboard Corkscrew Roundhouse kick) that followed. Ash even managed to complete her trio of signature moves as she nailed Sullivan in the corner with Ionsaí (Cornered Running Double Knee Strike). But she could only get a two count.
In the corner, Campbell drank some more Irn Bru to recover her energy as the pair combined to hit the smaller of heir opponents, Sullivan Pibb, with a backbreaker/diving knee drop combination. But still The Caffiends stayed in this match. Campbell managed to pull off a German suplex in the tenth minute, but Dewey made the save afterwards. Finally, as the match was winding down, Dewey blind tagged himself in as Ash sent Sullivan against the ropes. Her hiptoss backbreaker may have been effective, but she soon got drilled by a huge spear that nearly knocked her out of her boots! Dresden followed up with the ”Code Red” (Cobra Clutch Backbreaker) before going for the cover – only to get dragged out of the ring by Ricky Vega and Charlie Bloom! The referee immediately called for the bell.
Winners: The Caffiends (13:45)
Ricky & Charlie continued wailing away on Dewey on the outside, unaware of Ash Fi and Sarah on the turnbuckles. The Britons jumped off with a pair of crossbody blocks that took Ricky & Charlie down, but their joy was short lived as Sullivan Pibb took them both out with a rarely seen somersault senton over the top rope!
The fans were in shock as Pibb dragged his partner away from the wreckage, and back up the aisle. The show faded to the AxxessNet logo as The Caffiends stood tall.
