Backstage...
Harper Hill is seen in the catering area backstage looking over the spread. She takes a plate and fills it with a few sandwiches and the pasta salad before setting her plate aside. She then pulls a bottle out of her jacket pocket. The label is not readable on the camera, but it is bright red and looks to have a few fire logos on it. She then begins to pepper the assortment on the table with the powder before she realizes Claire James is walking up to her from behind. She drops the powder and kicks it under the table. Claire asks her how she is coping with not having a match on the show. She says that she has more than a few ways to entertain herself at Slams. She says she’d love to be fighting tonight and continuing to show off what’s she’s learned, but as it was seen two weeks ago it’s easy to show what you’ve learned even without a match. Claire gives her a disapproving look. Harper holds her hand over her heart and says she understands why Claire would be upset, but Harper won’t let anyone outshine her in SCCW. She said at Slam #4 she hoped she was given the chance to showcase her in ring prowess to prove once again it matched everything out of it. She laughed before walking off as the camera cut back to ringside.
Ringside...
Fugazi’s “Waiting Room” hits the arena and out comes Rocky Rhodes in a white Adolescents tee with water marks all down it from his sopping wet mop, with Papa Z in tow. He takes up position much like last time and grabs a mic.
“You know Webster defines innocent as being free of guilt or sin especially through a lack of evil and knowledge and being harmless ineffective or intentions. Now i don't know about the rest of you losers here tonight but I do know that there ain't no innocent men here tonight and I'm going to prove it so you can all just shut up your stupid asses.”
The crowd almost don't bother reacting because they know he doesn't care but he still gets some cheap boos.
“Last week I was robbed of my opportunity to mark myself as the best in the company but I proved I'm the best by beating down those other stupid assholes because I'm Rocky Rhodes and I am the best. Not only am i the best but I'm the man. And tonight there's only one man in this ring and his name is Rocky Rhodes and that's me cause I'm the best in this bidness and I'm the man too. So you can be as stupid and harmless as you want innocent you're the only one whose innocent tonight because I'm going to be guilty of being not- of being guilty of being the man.”
Rocky drops the mic before pulling an invisible air horn and screaming “TOOT TOOT HERE COMES THE STEAMROLLER BITCH”
Singles Match
Innocent vs. Rocky Rhodes
The match started after Innocent joined his opponent in the ring. At that point Rhodes attacked; he delivered several clubbing blows to the back of his opponent as he backed Innocent into a corner. The shots themselves appeared to be potatoes, as was the bionic elbow that downed Innocent in the second minute. But it only got a two count.
The match continued as such into the fourth minute, when Rhodes delivered a Cactus clothesline that sent him and his opponent over the top rope. Rhodes picked his opponent back up on the outside, but Innocent managed to counter an Irish whip with an eye rake, before he hit Rocky with a jumping neckbreaker!
Innocent tried to control the match after that; he threw Rocky shoulder first into the steel steps, and bounced his head off the ring apron before the action re-entered the squared circle. In the sixth minute, however, Innocent grabbed his crotch before he slapped Rocky Rhodes across the face. And that didn’t sit well with the veteran who lunged forward with a lariat. Rhodes threw more stiff shots and slammed Innocent repeatedly over the next minute and a half, but the rookie countered an Irish whip into the corner as he vaulted up off the top rope. Rhodes slammed chest first into the turnbuckle and staggered out as Innocent hit the ropes for momentum – only for Papa Z to hit him in the back with the ‘Rock ’n’ Roll’ sign he’s carrying. The referee didn’t see it, though, so Innocent could only stagger forward into the Steamroller (inverted front powerslam) as Rocky picked up the win.
Winner: Rocky Rhodes (8:13)
After the match, Papa Z helped Rocky Rhodes celebrate in the ring as he issued a challenge to anyone backstage in the SCCW locker room. Papa Z wants the toughest son-of-a-bitch that SCCW has to offer for his client on the next Sunday Night Slams, but he slams the microphone down before anyone can respond, and they both head backstage.
Delaney Lukas vs. Micah Monroe
From the get-go it appeared as if Delaney Lukas was up against it. Especially since she was giving up 200 plus pounds. Lukas tried to use her speed to her advantage; she caught Micah with several kicks to the legs to try and down the big man, before she finally caught Monroe with a chopblock to the back of the knee. Micah dropped to one knee as Delaney ran against the ropes, but the big man rose up and nailed her with a huge lariat.
Micah used his massive frame to his advantage, crushing Delaney in the corner with an avalanche attack. But that could only get him a two count. The match ticked into the fourth minute as Delaney found herself on the receiving end of a vertical suplex. After that, Micah was able to show his strength as he deadlifted Delaney off the mat for a running powerslam, but still he could only get a two count.
In the fifth minute, Delaney was able to find a way back into the match as landed on the apron after a back body drop attempt. A shoulder thrust to the midsection doubled Micah over, which allowed Delaney the chance she needed to show off her new slingshot DDT!
The crowd rallied behind her as Delaney followed that up with a bulldog off the middle rope. But Micah sat up before she could capitalize, so Delaney hit him with a basement calf kick. The pin attempt only got her a two count though. Lukas went up high risk again, performing a crossbody block off the middle rope – but Micah caught her in his arms! A fall forward slam got him a two count.
The match ticked into the eighth minute as Micah set his opponent up for a short arm clothesline – but Delaney countered with a jumping neckbreaker! Lukas got back to her feet, and was beckoning her opponent to get back to his feet when disaster struck…
Harper Hill and The Jester flanked the ring! The Jester struck first, driving Priscilla into the midsection before Harper Hill dropped the fan favorite with a low angle headscissor driver! The referee called for the bell to end this match in a disqualification.
Winner: Delaney Lukas (7:58)
After the match there was a familiar sight, as The Jester and Harper Hill were laying into Delaney Lukas. Jester hoisted Priscilla the bat high above her head as Harper made sure Delaney didn’t move. As Jester was about to hammer the bat right down into Delaney’s back, the crowd erupted into cheers, as Jester was leveled by a flying head kick from seemingly nowhere. Harper leaped up to her feet, confused and flustered, but was quickly leveled with a lightning-fast superkick.
“Brain Damage! Warning Shot! Ladies and gentlemen, Tommy Evans to the rescue!” Ryan Savage shouted, and he was right, as Tommy Evans was standing tall in the middle of the ring. Jester and Harper groggily crawled to the outside of the ring to regroup as Tommy paced around the ring casting angry glances at both of them. He finally turned to see a stirring Delaney Lukas on her stomach trying to get back to her feet.
The crowd cheered again as he dropped down to a knee, offering her a hand and helping her back up to his feet. He placed his hands on her shoulders for a moment, exchanging a few words to which Delaney nodded. Tommy offered a single nod before turning towards the crowd and lifting Delaney’s fist in the air. He let go and clapped a couple of times, before turning to glare at The Jester and Harper as they disappeared up the ramp.
Backstage...
Brutus was standing in a darkened room. The hood of his sweatshirt hanging over his head, as he grunted towards the camera. He walked over to a bench, he took a seat on a bench that creaks under his weight.
“The Lincoln Brothers decided to attack me last week. It made no sense to me, because I’ve been utterly dominant in first two episodes of Sunday Night Slam.” Brutus ponders the thought, asking if the Lincoln Brothers were compelled by stupidity, or if they had a death wish. He went on to tell the brothers that they started this war but he will end it.
“The Lincoln Brothers fancy themselves as demon hunters. They’ll soon realize that they should have found another line of work.” The harshness from the demon beast voice is dark and muffled. He raised his head giving a glare to the camera before standing up and pushing it out of his way, on the way out of the room.
MAIN EVENT
Singles Match
Betty Black vs. Zoe Dupont
In a rematch of sorts, Betty and Zoe came to blows as soon as the bell rang. Black gained the upper hand early on, overpowering her opponent and outstriking her as she backed Dupont into the corner. An Irish whip sent Zoe from pillar to post with some force, allowing Betty to hit a cartwheel back elbow. And an early pin attempt got her a two count.
Dupont got back into the match in the third minute as she performed the splits to dodge a clothesline. A series of arm drags seemed to catch Betty Black off guard, before the Frenchwoman threw Betty out through the middle ropes. She posed for the fans, drawing a small chorus of boos before she left the ring. By that time, Black had recovered slightly. She fired off some knife egde chops to the chest, and bounced Zoe’s head off the apron before the match re-entered the ring.
Black followed up with a bulldog and covered again, but only got a two count. In the sixth minute, Dupont got back into the match as she low balled her opponent; Betty missed the clothesline attempt and tumbled over the top rope. Dupont climbed out onto the apron and performed a crossbody to the outside, but she took too long making the pin and could only get a two count.
Dupont tried to wear her opponent down further with some basic submission holds; a chinlock and a hammerlock were both on display as Zoe tried to show her technical prowess, but Betty managed to counter an Irish whip with a flying shoulderblock. Both competitors scrambled to their feet as Betty hit a vertical suplex. Zoe staggered back to her feet in a daze as Betty moved in for the kill with a big clothesline, only for Zoe to dive behind and counter with a backslide, putting her feet on the ropes as she got a three count.
Winner: Zoe Dupont (9:40)
The show closed with the image of Zoe celebrating on the turnbuckle, as a dejected Betty headed backstage.
