The show opens up by giving everyone a view of the Chase Arena as fans are still pouring into the building. The camera then moves inside and we get shots of the SAP faithful and some of the signs they brought for their favorites before the shot moves to the familiar faces of the announce table and Aiden sitting near by.
Jackson: Hello everyone and welcome to a show name that seems too long to repeat right now.
Chris: You probably could have easily said it in the time it took you to say that.
Jackson: Either way tonight's card may not have a lot of matches on it but that doesn't mean that it won't be packed full of action. We're back in the Chase Arena in West Hartford. The last time we were here was for the opening day of the GAGP. Tonight we have three titles on the line as The Reeds look to defend their International tag titles, Nick Redfield hopes to hold onto his X title, and Brandon Banks fresh off of his spectacular win in Caged Glory FC looks to defend his Great American title.
Judd: The Reeds are facing the ever threatening Satsujin. Redfield really has the odds stacked against him in a battle royal. Anything can happen in one of those matches. He's really going to have to hope he can hold on. Rachel Redding has proven to be an upset artist. With wins over Izzy Anders and Bank’s own sister Felicity in SAP will she be able to pull out another surprise here tonight?
Jackson: I don't want to wait any longer folks. Let's get to the ring to start this night!

The camera backstage shows Vince Steel arriving to the arena. As he storms forward he is met by one of the backstage producers who is trying to stop him.
PRODUCER: Mr. Steel please I have to ask you to stop. You are not on the card…Mr. Steel…Please…
The Eastside Beast continues to march down the hall. Suddenly he stops. He turns and grabs the producer hoisting him up against the wall.
VINCE STEEL: Who is going to stop me little man.
Just before the Producer could answer a voice off screen can be heard.
BRENDAN VAN APPLDORN: Vince!! Put him down!
Vince turns to see the head of security as well as his entire security detail behind him. Vince complies and then turns to Van Appldorn getting right in his face. The man known as “OX” doesn’t back down and the two big men have a stare down.
VINCE: I’m tired of being treated like I don’t belong here. I get screwed out of my National Title match and the guy that screwed me is in the battle royal that is now for the X championship and I have the “night off”? The disrespect I get from the roster is one thing. But for the people that I have busted my ass for since day one to do it….that shit ain’t happening and if I have to run through you and the rest of your toy soldiers back there…then that’s what I’m going to do.
After a moment of silence Brendan replies
BRENDAN VAN APPLDORN: I’m here to tell you that I just got word that you can be in the battle royal tonight…but only if you have a costume.
A smile creeps across Steel’s face and e turns back to the producer.
VINCE: What’s your name?
PRODUCER: Stan…

Brandon Banks was a fucking mess as he walked inside the Chase Arena. His face was covered in black and blue marks, the camera focusing in on the seventeen stitches Banks had on the left side of his face. Despite how he looked, Banks tried to act as if nothing was wrong, stopping in the hallway once he saw members of the SAP roster and backstage personnel applauding him for his performance at CGFC 20: Wreak Havoc. Banks just smirked and strapped his Great American championship around his shoulder as he began to step forward.
Getting away from the wrestlers and backstage personnel, Banks pushed his locker room door open and stopped abruptly once he spotted Yasmeen Sherazi digging through the mini-fridge inside.
BB: The hell you doin’?!
Yasmeen sharply spun around, her eyes fixed on the beaten up Brandon.
Yasmeen Sherazi: I, um…
The SAP interviewer began looking from side to side in search of her microphone. Brandon took a step forward and pointed in the direction of the mini-fridge where the microphone was lying. Yasmeen picked it up and cleared her throat as she stepped in Brandon’s direction.
Yasmeen Sherazi: I wanted to get an interview with you, and recently you haven’t been that talkative. I figured if I caught you in your locker room, you’d have no choice but to give me an interview!
The comments got a laugh out of Banks, but he immediately clutched at his side and began to cough. He continued to try and hide how he was feeling by doing a little skip toward Yasmeen and moving his title from one shoulder over to the other.
BB: I haven’t been talkative? Come on, Yazz. I talk smack throughout all my matches. I just haven’t been in an interview mood lately. Had like a fifteen thousand things runnin’ through my head and I couldn’t focus on a single thought. I’m clear-headed now, though.
Yasmeen Sherazi: Care to elaborate on those fifteen thousand things?
Banks chuckled for a second and immediately plopped down on the loveseat inside his locker room.
BB: Them things aren’t really important right now. Right now the only thing we need to talk about is me main eventing yet another SAP show and defending my title against another young and upcoming star. I been through hell and back so far, but this match with Rachel.
The Great American champion glanced at his title and set it down on the cushion next to him.
BB: It’s probably gonna be my toughest challenge yet. No disrespect to Felix or Ashley, but Rachel been making a quick name for herself around these parts and all around the world. She been waitin’ on her chance at a title here in SAP, and the last thing she wants to do is blow it and go to the back of the line.
Pausing for a second, Brandon readjusted his position on the loveseat in an attempt to get more comfortable.
BB: There ain’t many big match guru’s left in this business, but Rachel’s slowly becoming one of them. The thing that sucks for her?
Banks winked.
BB: I been one of them I excel in big matches. I’ll be the first to tell ya’ll that I couldn’t give a fuck less about some random match against Joey ‘The Darkside’ Peterson. Them shits bore the fuck outta me, bruh. But when there’s a title on the line, or if it’s some intense ass rivalry? I’m damn near undefeated. Big matches are what I live for, and tonight? This a big match. A huge match. One that I need before I go one on one with Samuels.
Yazmeen pulled the microphone back towards her lips and examined Brandon’s face.
Yasmeen Sherazi: You’re only one day removed from one of the bloodiest wars in Caged Glory history. Are you at all concerned that maybe the injuries you suffered a little under forty-eight hours ago will play a factor here tonight?
Banks laughed but immediately grimaced.
BB: Injuries? What injuries? I’m a hundred and ten percent. These shits you see on my face are just battle wounds. A few black and blues, and a couple stitches. That’s not gonna play any part in tonight’s outcome and I’m not gonna let the shit become a storyline. I know how this business works and I know how the people in this business think. If I win, people gonna say that I wasn’t all that fucked up and Rachel took it easy on me. If I lose, people gonna say that I was already fucked up and they finna try to taint Rachel’s victory. I’m sure people already think that I’ma make excuses, but nah. There are no excuses, breh. Not anymore.
The Great American champion looked at his title once more before he turned his attention back to Yasmeen.
BB: The better person on this night is going to win. It’s really that simple.
Yasmeen nodded her head and began stepping away.
Yasmeen Sherazi: Thank you for your time.
Yasmeen made her exit and slammed Brandon’s locker room door shut. Brandon gingerly stood up to his feet and moved in the direction of the mini-fridge. He pulled the door open and began looking around inside, his eyes going wide once he noticed something missing.
BB: Did she steal my brownies?
Brandon peered over his shoulder, then walked toward the door. He ripped it open and shouted:
BB: YAZZ! YOU STOLE MY BROWNIES?!
He continued down the hall, chasing after Yasmeen as cameras went back to ringside.

Andre Holmes vs. Mitch Parker
The bell rings and Mitch comes out of the corner looking aggressive in the opening minute trying to be assertive. This however backfires as he starts eating elbows and kicks from Andre. Mitch gets backed up into the corner looking for some type of reprieve but sets himself right up for Holmes’ “Dancehall Party" (Kobashi Chops followed by Roundhouse Kicks into the chest then ended by an Exploder Suplex in the corner). Parker is looking rocked and is just trying to get far enough away to clear the cobwebs. Andre swoops in and grabs hold of Mitch and delivers the "Shooting Star Samoan" (Samoan Drop followed by a Standing Shooting Star Splash). Holmes gets back to his feet and waits for Mitch to stir and get to a knee. Andre then positions himself and connects with the "Thrust Kick" (Superkick while the opponent is kneeled). Holmes gets the cover and the three count.
Jackson: Dominant debut by Andre Holmes.
Judd: Holmes was looking good tonight but it's only his first match here. He's got the pedigree and the look but I want to see how he fares against bigger competition before I make my assessment.
Jackson: I'm sure he will be just fine and I'm glad to have him on the roster!
Winner: Andre Holmes

Nora Harris is found backstage before the upcoming Costume Battle Royal, which of course has been upgraded to an X Championship Match via the addition of the current Champion, Nick Redfield. Nora is dressed in an all out no expense spared sort of costume tonight, she’s dressed as one of Tinkerbell’s friends from the Pixie Hollow cartoons, Vidia the fast flying fairy complete with a purple tunic and pants that looked like they were constructed from flower petals, and transparent wings on her back! She’s carrying a huge basket with her filled with all kinds of goodies and candy, and she goes out from the backstage area and starts handing out treats to the fans (and waving at Aiden) before she leaves the basket at the announcer’s table before she goes skipping to the back, the motion makes the most of her lush backside and she’s giggling because she knows it! Once there she finds a camera but doesn’t waste time to find the interviewer tonight, she just starts talking, her voice full of mirth.
NORA HARRIS: I’m so excited that I had to share that with everyone! Look, I know that things haven’t gone so great for me so far in Spirit and Pride but see, that’s the thing. So far. I have faith that in the future things will turn around for me, because I’m doing what I love, and I know that you fans enjoy watching me do it!
Her smile grows wider and warmer as her eyes nearly sparkle as she fluffs her long ringlets, sliding them back away from her makeup.
NORA HARRIS: If there’s one thing I know coming from the family that I do, it’s that hard work plus talent will pay off! You just have to find that first break, find your groove and there you go! See I know some people would look at what I’ve done so far in my career and get discouraged but I’m like, are you kidding me? I’ve had super great matches against very big names, and I get the fans on their feet with some of the things I do. All of that and I haven’t even been a pro a whole year yet!
A vigorous nod from Nora as she smiles again.
NORA HARRIS: Tonight I have a chance, no matter how slim, of coming out with a title and believe me, as much respect as I have for the current X Champion Nick Redfield, I know that he’ll understand if it ends up being me! He knows what it’s like to start out at the bottom and work your way up, for sure! But I promise you all, that this particular fairy may not actually be from Pixie Hollow but I’m definitely doing some flying tonight!
She takes a handful of ‘pixie dust’ out of a pocket in her hand and holds it up before blowing a kiss over it to send sparkles at the camera before the feed cuts elsewhere.

Eli Carlson vs. Desmond Masters
The match starts and Desmond tries to use his speed to his advantage. He sprints around the ring and catches Eli with a hurricanrana. Masters followed it up with a springboard dropkick. Desmond was starting to feel things clicking and went for a handspring cutter. Eli saw it coming and kicked Masters legs out from under him causing him to land hard on his upper shoulders. The crowd made an “ooohh” and the tide started turning. Carlson dragged up Desmond and connected with a few elbows before an implant ddt. Eli hit the ropes and then caught Masters with a senton. From there Eli went to the corner and waited for Masters to get to his feet. Once he did Eli came charging out and connected with “Red Light Special" (sick kick). Eli goes for the cover and gets the three count.
Jackson: Back to back wins now for Eli Carlson.
Judd: Phoenix has chosen him to be the new face of SAP. I'm not sure how the rest of the roster feels about that but I'm sure we will find out as time goes on.
Jackson: The goal for everyone is to become a champion here in SAP and I'm sure Eli will have his fare share of clashes with many talented people. For tonight though, he's celebrating his win.
Winner: Eli Carlson

Rachel Redding is seen walking down the hall getting mentally prepared for her upcoming Great American title match in the main event. She looks focused but then Luca Di Paolo turns the
corner with Roxanne and Foxanne on each arm. All three burst out laughing when they see Rachel who just gives them a dirty look in return. Luca starts to run his mouth to Rachel who doesn't hold back any words in return. Finally Luca tells Rachel that he demands a match with her. Rachel laughs in Luca’s face and tells him that he needs to step into a ring first before she will ever wrestle him. Luca becomes angry and says that he will step foot in the ring next show and then she will have no choice but to face him. Luca then sticks his hand out and asks Rachel to shake on it. Redding humors him and does so before walking off to finish getting ready for her match.

The scene opens up backstage where we see the one and only First Class Mean Girl Veronica Taylor who is walking in stride clearly a scowl is formed on her face. She is dressed in her wrestling gear ready to compete in the rumble tonight. As she soon is stopped by none other than Aleks Parker who is holding a microphone as the once again signed First Class woman stares a hole through her before rolling her eyes. As Aleks soon begins to speak in her normal tone of voice.
Aleks Parker: Veronica, tough break last time you were here. However, tonight you have a big chance to get a shot at the X Championship however, to do that you have to win the costume battle royal and it seems like you're not dressed the part.
Veronica rolls her eyes at the question before letting out a chuckle.
Veronica Taylor: Costume? No silly girl see this is my costume see I am dressed as what you and everyone else would want to be. A chance in their sad basic lives to be the one and only Veronica Taylor. Knowing that all of them would do some basic ass kids costumes that don't even look good at that age what makes you think I would go to that level? I am beyond that. And as far as Desiree goes she got lucky simple as that she beat me, and she should be happy with that but that in lies the difference between us. I am the leading lady I might go down in a scene but at the end of the day I win the end of the movie shows me with the victory and the uglies are left in the wake and tonight that is what is gonna happen. Desiree I look forward to ruining your dreams but you not the only one now see all of those basics around you yeah they are getting thrown over as well. After all we can't have an ugly X Champion, can we?
Veronica chuckles amused at her own comments.
Aleks Parker: Well, they could be all gunning for you. You're not the most popular woman backstage or anywhere else for that matter really. I mean I know you have history with Fliex, Hazel Overton, Ashley Maldono, and you're gunning for Nick Redfield and his title what is your strategy for this match?
Veronica rolls her eyes as if she were personally insulted by the level of thought put into that question.
Veronica Taylor: Strategy? Do you know something I do have a plan, but I am not going to spell it out for you. Ugh why are interviewers so stupid?! Like a wrestlers plan to victory is going to be revealed but you know something I do got something to tell all of you watching here tonight in this trash heap city. See I was thinking first time here I tried to be nice and do things alone you know but as the hottest commodity in wrestling I can't do that as Sap's hottest free agent I couldn't let myself get hurt or otherwise the company would fall. SAP needs a revolution a pretty revolution. One that is going to be lead by myself and the woman who I am about to introduce to all of you. So without further adue please put your fat little hands together for none other than my bestie BIANCA DAVIS.
Soon enough a tall blonde comes through dressed to the nines she has a smug smirk as she rolls her eyes at Aleks before hugging Veronica and giving her a kiss on the cheek which is returned by Veronica. Then standing behind them is a giant muscular woman with her arms crossed.
Bianca Davis: Your dismissed buhbye.
Bianca and Veronica wave off Aleks who leaves as the two keep the microphone before Bianca begins to speak in her normal tone.
Bianca Davis: See everyone wants a piece of my girl and that is not going to happen with me and Matilda here no, no. You basics don't just get to touch us whenever anymore you come to us you deal with her got it? And speaking of titles those tag team titles need be prettified and that is what we are going to do got it?
Veronica Taylor: Couldn't of said it betters myself so get ready for your makeovers SAP sorry bout it.

Cameras cut to the back as Desiree Jenkins is fixing her Halloween costume. She is wearing a Sailor Moon type costume. Desy turns to see the camera.
Desy Jenkins: I am so ready for this battle royal. It's going to be fun. After this, I will be focusing on the Nicole Hamilton Deathmatch Tournament. So people get ready. It's Desy Time.
Desy smiles as she continues to get ready.

International Tag Team Title Match
The Reeds vs. Satsujin
The bell rings and Lilah starts off the match against Cappadonna. Cappadonna tried to keep Lilah in check with her striking background but found out that Lilah had no problem throwing hands. Lilah soon took the advantage and went to tag in Charlie but Donna broke free and sprinted across the ring to tag in Nari. Charlie and Lilah made the switch and Charlie was caught off guard at first as Nari brought her power game to the table but as soon as he had a chance he took her to the ground. Charlie locked on a butterfly stretch and Cappadonna had to come in and break it up. She then caught Charlie with a windmill kick. Lilah tried to enter the ring but the referee pushed her back to her corner. Cappadonna exits the ring and Nari continues her assault on Charlie. Nari went for a big yakuza kick but Charlie rolled out of the way and made it to his corner. He tagged in Lilah and she came in like a house of fire. Cappadonna entered the ring to try and calm things down but even she was taken out. She then grabbed Nari and delivered “Kiss the Ground” (Sitout Face Buster). Lilah went for the cover and got the three count.
Jackson: The Reeds pick up another win and the titles stay around their waists.
Judd: It was back and forth for a bit there. Satsujin are always dangerous when you start to count them out but The Reeds stayed focused tonight.
Jackson: The Reeds will now await their next challengers just like we will.
Winners: The Reeds

With the Halloween costume battle royal still to come, Oliver Overton is walking backstage wearing his best Drake from Uncharted costume. A nearly lit cigarette is sticking out of his mouth as he is looking for Iris Hawthorne.
Olly: Iris! Hey Iris!
He shouts her name hoping it would grab her attention. Even though he is competing in the royal, his focus is on gaining some measure of revenge against the Pro Asian bimbos.
Olly: Where are you Iris?
He rounds the corner as a woman in a sexy pirate's outfit is standing outside the women's locker room. He stops as he can't help to stare.
Iris: What is it you want Olly?
Olly raises his eyebrow as Iris spins around to look him in the eye. He sucks a big pocket of air as she places her hat on her head.
Olly: Oh my god!
Iris chuckles.
Iris: Are you liking what you see Olly?
Olly nods.
Iris: Well, better take a picture hon because it will last longer. Now, let's go.
Olly nods his head again as they head towards the stage.

As the camera opens up on the backstage area, it shows an empty hallway for a few moments before a dark haired beauty named Celeste sticks her head out from around the corner. The fans cheer at the sight of her while she surveys the scene around her. After a few moments wrestling's most marketable man, CJ Cross moves around her and into full view, looking a bit annoyed. He shakes his head and begins to speak once the cheers begin to die down.
CJ: Celeste would you stop and just walk! We need as much time as possible to get ready for the battle royal!
Celeste: Well excuse me for trying to protect you from Vince!
Celeste snaps back at him before she comes into full view as she turns the corner and the two begin to make their way down the hallway.
CJ: I do not need protecting from him, besides he is not even on the card. He is not even worth being thrown into the battle royal!
Celeste: Couldn't you maybe have picked on someone your own size?
She was half joking and half serious. She really did worry about him going back and forth with Vince. He is a big guy, and well compared to him, CJ looks like a toothpick.
CJ: Couldn't you have not started trouble with someone so....
Celeste: Ugly? Creepy? Scary?
CJ: Yes, all of those.
She was always quick to finish his sentences, and she did not miss a beat when the conversation shifted to Bloody Mary.
Celeste: She is only jealous of me because of my good looks, don't you think so?
CJ: Yes, you look good.
She will take the compliment, but since it was not an answer to the question that she asked, he gets whacked in the arm for being a smartass.
CJ: Really!?
Celeste: Try being a smartass again bucko!
Celeste chuckles a bit as the two of them round the corner and head towards the locker room area.
CJ: So while the bruise forms, how about you finally let me in on what you are going to be for the match.
Celeste: Good things come to those who wait Mr. Cross.
It was the same response he has been getting for the last week or so. He knew she was going between a few in her mind. Though he could rule out pizza probably as that would not be too sexy and help her show off inside the ring.
CJ: How about just a little hint?
Celeste: Okay fine, I will give you a hint.
CJ: Okay, finally.
For a few more steps Celeste stays quiet leaving CJ to raise an eyebrow and speak up again.
CJ: And that hint would be!?
Celeste: I hope this does not give it away, because I want it to be a surprise, but, the hint is... It's a costume!
Her obvious and very vague hint brings out a hearty laugh from her leaving CJ to shake his head.
CJ: Who's the smartass now!?
Celeste: Still you!
She speaks through her laugh before taking off in a run down the long hallway. CJ begins to chase after her leaving the camera behind and the scene to fade away to black.

2nd Annual Costume Battle Royal
X Championship Match
Nick Redfield (c) vs. Clue vs. Felix Vialpando vs. Veronica Taylor vs. Ashley Maldano vs. Celeste vs. Malaya Diyosa vs. Bloody Mary vs. CJ Cross vs. Nora Harris vs. Desiree Jenkins vs. Mark Storm vs. Iris Hawthorne vs. Raven Monetta vs. Oliver Overton vs. Heidi Thompson vs. Jaser Cruz vs. Vince Steel
All of the competitors start coming down the aisle from the curtain. You can see the wrestlers wearing their costumes. Nick Redfield, the X champion, leads the way dressed as The Flash. We then see Felix Vialpando dressed as Harvey Birdman which gets a pop from the adult swim viewing crowd. Jaser Cruz who is making his debut tonight is dressed as Edward Scissorhands. Nora Harris is dressed up as Vidia from Disney’s Pixie Hollow. Celeste is seen as Black Widow from The Avengers. CJ Cross catches some eyes as he appears as some kind of zombie gummy bear. Ashley Maldano is seen as Sailor Pluto which makes the anime fans go nuts. Iris Hawthorne is seen in a sexy pirate costume. Malaya Diyosa comes out as Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura which gets another pop from the anime crowd. Oliver Overton comes out as Drake from Uncharted. Heidi Thompson appears as Wednesday Addams. Desiree Jenkins is the last one to come out dressed as Sailor Moon which gets one final pop from the anime crowd.
The bell rings and an all out brawl begins as everyone in the ring has it out for each other. Some people begin to pair off while others decide to attack in groups. Suddenly there's some commotion as Vince Steel has made his way to the ring wearing Stan’s glasses and neck tie and tells the referee he's entering the match. The ref is aware of his addition and he enters the ring and joins the fight.
Mary is making her way across the ring attacking as many people as she can. CJ and Celeste have teamed up and are trying fight off Veronica and Malaya. Redfield has become the target of a few people knowing that if he's gone then there has to be a new champ. The first elimination comes from Desiree Jenkins however as she tosses out Raven Monetta.
Izzy: Raven Monetta has been eliminated!
Desiree nearly gets tossed out when she's hit from behind by Jaser Cruz. CJ and Celeste are at the head of several wrestlers who are trying their hardest to get Vince Steel out of the ring but he powers his way through them. Steel even grabs hold of Clue and sends him up over the top to the outside.
Izzy: Clue has been eliminated!
Felix is doing his best to stay hidden while Redfield turns his attack to Vince Steel trying to find some revenge for Clue. Ashley and Mary are exchanging shots back and forth when Mark Storm grabs hold of Felix. The two go back and forth for a moment before Felix catches him with a picture perfect dropkick that sends him over the top rope.
Izzy: Mark Storm has been eliminated!
Nora has met up with Iris and Oliver and they are locked up with Malaya and Veronica. There's some movement in the crowd as Cappadonna and Nari have made their way back out to the ringside area. This catches Iris and Oliver’s attention and they move to the ropes to trash talk back and forth with the Satsujin team. This leaves them vulnerable for a second and Malaya and Veronica swoop in and throw them over the top rope.
Izzy: Iris Hawthorne and Oliver Overton have been eliminated!
It isn't over there between the two teams as they begin to brawl around the ringside area. The referees do their best to separate them and send them back up the ramp. Back in the ring Malaya and Veronica turn around and focus their attention on Nora. They start double teaming her and it looks like they're getting ready to toss her out when Desiree comes over to help Nora. They fight the two off and then it's Nora who ends up tossing Malaya over the top rope.
Izzy: Malaya Diyosa has been eliminated!
Celeste and CJ have teamed up to take on Mary. Felix is trading blows with Jaser and most of the other people in the ring are focused on Vince. Felix lands a combo and manages to send Jaser to the mat. He leans against the ropes to catch a breath and that's when Ashley sees him. She gets a running start and catches him with a clothesline. As Vialpando is going up and over he wraps up Ashley in a head scissors and pulls her to the floor with him.
Izzy: Felix Vialpando and Ashley Maldano have been eliminated!
It isn't over between Ashley and Felix however as the two start to argue and a shoving match ensues. The referees intervene before it can get really serious. Inside the ring the action is getting more intense as people are more aware that the longer this goes the more Vince has a chance of winning. People start charging at him but he tosses them off. Even Nora tries and eats a boot for it. Jaser then tries his hand but ends up being thrown over the top rope by Steel.
Izzy: Jaser Cruz has been eliminated
As everyone is still focused on Steel no one notices the man wearing the hockey mask from the camp crystal lake match slide out from under the ring. He slides into the ring. Redfield isn't looking and gets thrown over the top rope. The man in the mask follows him to the outside and starts to attack. He's pulled apart by security and dragged off. Nick is furious as he heads to the back.
Izzy: Nick Redfield has been eliminated!
The rest of the wrestlers in the ring are caught off guard and are surprised as they know a new champ
will be crowned tonight. They all start to brawl again. CJ is going back and forth with Mary and manages to slow her down with some hard right hands. As he turns around he sees Vince grab Celeste by the hair and make eye contact with him and throw her over the top rope. Before he can even run over to get Vince he steps over the top rope and eliminates himself.
Izzy: Celeste and Vince Steel have been eliminated.
As CJ is left standing there shocked he doesn't notice Mary has come too. She comes over and nails him with a hard forearm to the back of the head. CJ is stunned and Mary takes advantage of the moment the best she can. She grabs hold of CJ and throws him to the outside.
CJ Cross has been eliminated
The five women left now circle each other. Mary is the first to strike and goes right after Heidi. She works her into a corner and lets go a brutal assault. Heidi slides down in the corner and Mary keeps going. She drives her foot into Heidi’s throat. Thompson slides over from the corner to the ropes and Mary uses enough force to send her over the bottom rope to the floor.
Nora now goes after Mary and Desiree pairs up with Veronica. The four go back and forth but Veronica takes a wild swing and Desy evades it to throw a hard knee into the gut of Veronica. It looks to have knocked the wind out of her and Desy isn't going to take any chances. She grabs Veronica and whips her over the top rope.
Izzy: Veronica Taylor has been eliminated
Mary has Nora on the ground and heads right for Desiree. Mary catches her with a brutal forearm that sends her stumbling back. Mary keeps pushing and gets her against the ropes. Desiree tries to fight Mary off but she connects with a stiff headbutt that sends Desy up and over.
Izzy: Desiree Jenkins has been eliminated
Nora is up and gets a running start before hitting Mary hard in the back with a running knee. The force sends her flying forward and landing head first into the second turnbuckle. Mary looks to be a bit dazed so Nora musters all of her energy and grabs hold of Mary and throws her over the top.
Izzy: Bloody Mary has been eliminated
Nora jumps up and down excitedly as she believes she has just won the battle royal and the X championship. What she doesn't see is Heidi Thompson roll back into the ring. Heidi doesn't make a sound. Instead she just runs up behind Nora and throws her over the top rope to the floor.
Izzy: Nora Harris has been eliminated! Here is your winner and new X champion, Heidi Thompson!
The crowd doesn't know what to think as some cheer and some boo. Nora is on the floor with her arms in the air wondering what the hell just happened. Heidi is ecstatic as the referee enters the ring and hands her the title.
Jackson: There were so many twists and turns to that match!
Judd: They tell you anything can happen in a battle royal for a reason. That is double for a battle royal with a title on the line. Heidi Thompson might not have won in the most conventional way but she worked smarter not harder tonight.
Jackson: Nick Redfield wasn't even eliminated by a competitor in the match! You've got to think he gets his rematch soon.
Judd: You've gotta have eyes in the back of your head for a battle royal Jackson. I'm sure he will get a shot to win it back but right now Heidi needs to focus on her first defense on Tuesday against some of the best the entire WCS has to offer.
Chris: You think I could get her number?
Aiden just looks over at Chris before lifting up the megaphone and saying into it “No”.
Winner: Heidi Thompson
_________________________________________
The show cuts backstage as Celeste storms around a corner. She is fuming over her elimination from the costume battle royal and is, in fact, still dressed in her costume.
Celeste: I am so sick of this!
She yells and kicks over a trash can, spilling its contents all over the floor of the hallway.
Celeste: He had NO business being in the ring. He wasn't even invited to the show! And I was targeted just because CJ has beef with him? What the hell!
She grunts and notices the camera filming her. Celeste reaches out and grabs the camera. The cameraman struggles a bit to get it out of her hands, but Celeste holds it firm so the lens in right in her face as she speaks into it.
Celeste: For weeks I have tried to capture that new X title and for Weeks something or someone has stopped me. Its not a matter of skill or work ethic. I DESERVE that belt dammit! And you…you stopped me Vince. Rest assured I will not forget this. But for now I'll let CJ deal with you. I have plenty of others in my way, keeping me from that X Title. And I am going to run through each and everyone of them. You hear me SAP?! Send them and I will…
Celeste gets abruptly cut off as she is clubbed in the back of the head by none other than Bloody Mary. Mary stomps down on her and then grabs the camera in the same fashion Celeste just did, making the screen fill with her painted face. Mary cackles madly before throwing the camera to the floor. The screen goes to static, but the crowd can still hear Celeste and Mary fighting. The feed cuts out completely a few moments later.
_________________________________________
The scene shows the office of Avery Quinn who looks a bit more than irritated as he paces back and forth in his office. The door swings open and Ox and another security guard have the man in the Jason mask who is struggling to get free. Ox forces him into the chair in front of Avery’s desk as the rest of security pours in. The man in the mask goes to move when Avery slams a hand on the table.
Avery: If you try to stand up one more time I'm going to tell them all to unleash hell on you.
The man in the mask sits still for the first time.
Avery: I'm not sure if you were paying attention out there but you just cost someone not just a match but their title in the process. Which causes me a giant headache. Now I have to come up with a solution to remedy all of this!
Avery sits down and pulls a small stack of papers over to him.
Avery: This is a contract for one match in SAP. You will face who we tell you and leave. There is a clause that if you lose you must unmask.
Quinn grabs his pen and opens up to the last page. He signs his name where it belongs and slides the papers over to the man.
Avery: I suggest you sign this.
The masked man looks it over before he takes a pen and makes some writing in the paper and slides it back to Avery. Quinn takes it and places it in a drawer.
Avery: Good. Now Ox, get this man off of the premises.
Ox then grabs the man and begins to drag him off. The scene ends with Avery breathing a sigh of relief.

YASMEEN SHERAZI: Ladies and Gentlemen I’m here with Vince Steel. Vince what was that our there?
VINCE: What was that? I thought it was quite obvious but you know what? Allow me to explain. As you know I just returned from taking some time off. I had a couple of nagging injuries as well as an unexpected intestinal infection that needed surgery. So I had time to sit back and look at things. I started to wonder why was it that I have caught so much flack around here. Why was it that EVERYONE in the locker room have something against me? I mean is it because I’m not some big breasted chick that does nothing but show her ass on twitter every week? Was it because I don’t come out here cursing and being vulgar, or insulting everyone else? Is it because I don’t have a WCW? No one has been able to explain to me why I get so much heat. But I resolve to say screw it! I get better and the only thing that is on my mind is the Nation Championship. I resolve that this time I’m going to show everyone that regardless of what you think of me, I am everything I say that I am. I will prove that I am the man that carries this company on his back. So I came to the ring during the CJ Cross/Brenden Samuels match to let them know that I was back and that I was back for MY title. But little CJ…little CJ didn’t like that I was out there and he attacked me…from behind mind you. So I defended myself. I dropped his ass like a bad habit and went on about my business. Fast forward to my title match and once again CJ attack me from behind. But here is the funny thing. Even though he screwed me out of my title…I wasn’t mad. I mean let’s be real with all the trash talking and bad mouthing I received, no one had the balls to do anything. Everyone pretty much played keyboard tough guy. But not CJ. No he came at me and I respected that.
But there was this one thing…this one voice that kept ringing in my ear…it was CJ’s voice telling me “It’s not over.” Not over? So you want war? With me? Well like I told him not to long ago, in war there are casualties, and tonight Celeste was that casualty, and I actually like her but…
Suddenly out of nowhere CJ Cross flies onto the scene laying into Vince Steel. After landing several shots, the Eastside Beast grabs Cross and sends him into the wall. Cross staggers forward and Steel grabs him by his face about to hit The Hand Of Steel, but CJ breaks free and snaps off a superkick! The kick finds its mark just not on Vince Steel as security arrives at this point and one of the guards takes the full brunt of the kick! It takes a few moments but security eventually breaks the two apart.

Main Event
Great American Title Match
Brandon Banks vs. Rachel Redding
The bell rings and the two begin to circle each other. Redding looks ever confident and Banks looks as if he wasn't lying when he said he was in great condition earlier. Rachel goes to lock up and Banks catches her with a stiff forearm that sends her to a seated position. Banks doesn't waste time and goes for a soccer kick but Rachel grabs the leg and rolls backwards bringing Banks to the mat. She looks to try and lock in a calf killer but Brandon gets free.
The two return to their feet. Rachel grabs Banks in a headlock but he brings her to the mat with a back suplex. He goes to drop a knee onto her forehead but she rolls out of the way and back to her feet where she catches Banks with a double stomp to the back. Banks is now flat and and Rachel went to go for her signature stomps but Banks now rolled out of the way and kip’ed up back to his feet. He caught Redding with a kick to the gut and went to whip her into the ropes but Redding reverses it. Banks crashes into the corner and Redding comes in at full speed with a jumping knee that catches Banks just right and splits his stitches.
Banks reaches up and feels his face. He pulls his hand away and sees the blood and knows that it's not exactly a great thing. Rachel comes back in for him but he lifts himself up in the corner and catches her with boots to the chin. Banks then lifts himself up on the ropes and connects with a blockbuster.
Banks rolls to his feet and Redding gets to a knee which allows Banks to swoop in and land a ddt. Banks returned to his feet and wiped the blood away from his face instead of going for a cover. Redding started to stir and Banks made his way over and grabbed her by the hair. Redding breaks free and lands a codebreaker right on the cut side of Banks’ face which sends him stumbling back into the ropes.
Redding snap mares Banks and then starts laying in her signature stomps. Spending extra time on the head and the cut of Brandon Banks. She gets to a knee and waits for Banks to stir. He slowly moves up to his feet. Banks looks to be in some serious pain as the blood pours out of him. Redding charges at him but Banks ducks her. She turns around quickly to try and catch him but he catches her with a dropkick that makes the crowd scream “YOU MAD?!”.
The dropkick looks to have taken a lot out of Banks as he is still slower to get to his feet than Rachel is. The two meet up again and Banks leads the charge with a series of stiff elbows. Banks whips her into the ropes and on the rebound goes for a “Bank Shot” (superkick) but Rachel ducks it and rebounds again. As Banks turns around Redding hits him with a “Category 1” (v-trigger) that drops him. Redding doesn't go for the cover though. She goes to a corner and waits. Yelling for Banks to get up. Slowly Brandon stirs. His entire face is covered in blood as it drips down to the mat beneath him. He gets to his knees when Redding shoots out and connects with another “Category 1”! Banks hits the mat hard. He doesn't even lift his arms to try and brace his fall. Redding then goes for the cover and gets the three count.
The crowd reaction is mixed as there are as many people who like Rachel as there is that don't. Plenty of the crowd is just stunned. The medical team immediately rushes into the ring and starts working on Banks to try and get him ready to be moved backstage to re-stitch his cut. The referee then hands Redding the Great American Title. Redding raises it high into the air as she celebrates her first title in SAP.
Jackson: Rachel Redding has just stunned the world...again!
Judd: I've been saying for weeks now that no one should be sleeping on Rachel Redding and I haven't been more right than right now. Banks is a warrior and one of the toughest in the game. He told everyone that he was perfectly fine coming into this match but I think we saw that might not be the case. That cut came into play early. The amount of blood this man has lost over this weekend is scary. He might need a transfusion Jackson.
Jackson: He very could well Judd. Now that the title has changed hands though there is a few things to note. Banks still hasn't used his guaranteed title shot from winning the GAGP so he still has that. If Redding now manages to hold onto the title until January she is guaranteed a shot at the National championship and a guaranteed spot in next years GAGP.
Judd: The pressure is on for Redding but I doubt she would want it any other way.
Jackson: Tonight has been quite the event. I'd like to thank all of you who watched tonight with us and weren't busy watching Stranger Things 2. We will see you in a couple weeks!
Jackson: Hello everyone and welcome to a show name that seems too long to repeat right now.
Chris: You probably could have easily said it in the time it took you to say that.
Jackson: Either way tonight's card may not have a lot of matches on it but that doesn't mean that it won't be packed full of action. We're back in the Chase Arena in West Hartford. The last time we were here was for the opening day of the GAGP. Tonight we have three titles on the line as The Reeds look to defend their International tag titles, Nick Redfield hopes to hold onto his X title, and Brandon Banks fresh off of his spectacular win in Caged Glory FC looks to defend his Great American title.
Judd: The Reeds are facing the ever threatening Satsujin. Redfield really has the odds stacked against him in a battle royal. Anything can happen in one of those matches. He's really going to have to hope he can hold on. Rachel Redding has proven to be an upset artist. With wins over Izzy Anders and Bank’s own sister Felicity in SAP will she be able to pull out another surprise here tonight?
Jackson: I don't want to wait any longer folks. Let's get to the ring to start this night!
_________________________________________
The camera backstage shows Vince Steel arriving to the arena. As he storms forward he is met by one of the backstage producers who is trying to stop him.
PRODUCER: Mr. Steel please I have to ask you to stop. You are not on the card…Mr. Steel…Please…
The Eastside Beast continues to march down the hall. Suddenly he stops. He turns and grabs the producer hoisting him up against the wall.
VINCE STEEL: Who is going to stop me little man.
Just before the Producer could answer a voice off screen can be heard.
BRENDAN VAN APPLDORN: Vince!! Put him down!
Vince turns to see the head of security as well as his entire security detail behind him. Vince complies and then turns to Van Appldorn getting right in his face. The man known as “OX” doesn’t back down and the two big men have a stare down.
VINCE: I’m tired of being treated like I don’t belong here. I get screwed out of my National Title match and the guy that screwed me is in the battle royal that is now for the X championship and I have the “night off”? The disrespect I get from the roster is one thing. But for the people that I have busted my ass for since day one to do it….that shit ain’t happening and if I have to run through you and the rest of your toy soldiers back there…then that’s what I’m going to do.
After a moment of silence Brendan replies
BRENDAN VAN APPLDORN: I’m here to tell you that I just got word that you can be in the battle royal tonight…but only if you have a costume.
A smile creeps across Steel’s face and e turns back to the producer.
VINCE: What’s your name?
PRODUCER: Stan…
_________________________________________
Brandon Banks was a fucking mess as he walked inside the Chase Arena. His face was covered in black and blue marks, the camera focusing in on the seventeen stitches Banks had on the left side of his face. Despite how he looked, Banks tried to act as if nothing was wrong, stopping in the hallway once he saw members of the SAP roster and backstage personnel applauding him for his performance at CGFC 20: Wreak Havoc. Banks just smirked and strapped his Great American championship around his shoulder as he began to step forward.
Getting away from the wrestlers and backstage personnel, Banks pushed his locker room door open and stopped abruptly once he spotted Yasmeen Sherazi digging through the mini-fridge inside.
BB: The hell you doin’?!
Yasmeen sharply spun around, her eyes fixed on the beaten up Brandon.
Yasmeen Sherazi: I, um…
The SAP interviewer began looking from side to side in search of her microphone. Brandon took a step forward and pointed in the direction of the mini-fridge where the microphone was lying. Yasmeen picked it up and cleared her throat as she stepped in Brandon’s direction.
Yasmeen Sherazi: I wanted to get an interview with you, and recently you haven’t been that talkative. I figured if I caught you in your locker room, you’d have no choice but to give me an interview!
The comments got a laugh out of Banks, but he immediately clutched at his side and began to cough. He continued to try and hide how he was feeling by doing a little skip toward Yasmeen and moving his title from one shoulder over to the other.
BB: I haven’t been talkative? Come on, Yazz. I talk smack throughout all my matches. I just haven’t been in an interview mood lately. Had like a fifteen thousand things runnin’ through my head and I couldn’t focus on a single thought. I’m clear-headed now, though.
Yasmeen Sherazi: Care to elaborate on those fifteen thousand things?
Banks chuckled for a second and immediately plopped down on the loveseat inside his locker room.
BB: Them things aren’t really important right now. Right now the only thing we need to talk about is me main eventing yet another SAP show and defending my title against another young and upcoming star. I been through hell and back so far, but this match with Rachel.
The Great American champion glanced at his title and set it down on the cushion next to him.
BB: It’s probably gonna be my toughest challenge yet. No disrespect to Felix or Ashley, but Rachel been making a quick name for herself around these parts and all around the world. She been waitin’ on her chance at a title here in SAP, and the last thing she wants to do is blow it and go to the back of the line.
Pausing for a second, Brandon readjusted his position on the loveseat in an attempt to get more comfortable.
BB: There ain’t many big match guru’s left in this business, but Rachel’s slowly becoming one of them. The thing that sucks for her?
Banks winked.
BB: I been one of them I excel in big matches. I’ll be the first to tell ya’ll that I couldn’t give a fuck less about some random match against Joey ‘The Darkside’ Peterson. Them shits bore the fuck outta me, bruh. But when there’s a title on the line, or if it’s some intense ass rivalry? I’m damn near undefeated. Big matches are what I live for, and tonight? This a big match. A huge match. One that I need before I go one on one with Samuels.
Yazmeen pulled the microphone back towards her lips and examined Brandon’s face.
Yasmeen Sherazi: You’re only one day removed from one of the bloodiest wars in Caged Glory history. Are you at all concerned that maybe the injuries you suffered a little under forty-eight hours ago will play a factor here tonight?
Banks laughed but immediately grimaced.
BB: Injuries? What injuries? I’m a hundred and ten percent. These shits you see on my face are just battle wounds. A few black and blues, and a couple stitches. That’s not gonna play any part in tonight’s outcome and I’m not gonna let the shit become a storyline. I know how this business works and I know how the people in this business think. If I win, people gonna say that I wasn’t all that fucked up and Rachel took it easy on me. If I lose, people gonna say that I was already fucked up and they finna try to taint Rachel’s victory. I’m sure people already think that I’ma make excuses, but nah. There are no excuses, breh. Not anymore.
The Great American champion looked at his title once more before he turned his attention back to Yasmeen.
BB: The better person on this night is going to win. It’s really that simple.
Yasmeen nodded her head and began stepping away.
Yasmeen Sherazi: Thank you for your time.
Yasmeen made her exit and slammed Brandon’s locker room door shut. Brandon gingerly stood up to his feet and moved in the direction of the mini-fridge. He pulled the door open and began looking around inside, his eyes going wide once he noticed something missing.
BB: Did she steal my brownies?
Brandon peered over his shoulder, then walked toward the door. He ripped it open and shouted:
BB: YAZZ! YOU STOLE MY BROWNIES?!
He continued down the hall, chasing after Yasmeen as cameras went back to ringside.

Andre Holmes vs. Mitch Parker
The bell rings and Mitch comes out of the corner looking aggressive in the opening minute trying to be assertive. This however backfires as he starts eating elbows and kicks from Andre. Mitch gets backed up into the corner looking for some type of reprieve but sets himself right up for Holmes’ “Dancehall Party" (Kobashi Chops followed by Roundhouse Kicks into the chest then ended by an Exploder Suplex in the corner). Parker is looking rocked and is just trying to get far enough away to clear the cobwebs. Andre swoops in and grabs hold of Mitch and delivers the "Shooting Star Samoan" (Samoan Drop followed by a Standing Shooting Star Splash). Holmes gets back to his feet and waits for Mitch to stir and get to a knee. Andre then positions himself and connects with the "Thrust Kick" (Superkick while the opponent is kneeled). Holmes gets the cover and the three count.
Jackson: Dominant debut by Andre Holmes.
Judd: Holmes was looking good tonight but it's only his first match here. He's got the pedigree and the look but I want to see how he fares against bigger competition before I make my assessment.
Jackson: I'm sure he will be just fine and I'm glad to have him on the roster!
Winner: Andre Holmes
_________________________________________
Nora Harris is found backstage before the upcoming Costume Battle Royal, which of course has been upgraded to an X Championship Match via the addition of the current Champion, Nick Redfield. Nora is dressed in an all out no expense spared sort of costume tonight, she’s dressed as one of Tinkerbell’s friends from the Pixie Hollow cartoons, Vidia the fast flying fairy complete with a purple tunic and pants that looked like they were constructed from flower petals, and transparent wings on her back! She’s carrying a huge basket with her filled with all kinds of goodies and candy, and she goes out from the backstage area and starts handing out treats to the fans (and waving at Aiden) before she leaves the basket at the announcer’s table before she goes skipping to the back, the motion makes the most of her lush backside and she’s giggling because she knows it! Once there she finds a camera but doesn’t waste time to find the interviewer tonight, she just starts talking, her voice full of mirth.
NORA HARRIS: I’m so excited that I had to share that with everyone! Look, I know that things haven’t gone so great for me so far in Spirit and Pride but see, that’s the thing. So far. I have faith that in the future things will turn around for me, because I’m doing what I love, and I know that you fans enjoy watching me do it!
Her smile grows wider and warmer as her eyes nearly sparkle as she fluffs her long ringlets, sliding them back away from her makeup.
NORA HARRIS: If there’s one thing I know coming from the family that I do, it’s that hard work plus talent will pay off! You just have to find that first break, find your groove and there you go! See I know some people would look at what I’ve done so far in my career and get discouraged but I’m like, are you kidding me? I’ve had super great matches against very big names, and I get the fans on their feet with some of the things I do. All of that and I haven’t even been a pro a whole year yet!
A vigorous nod from Nora as she smiles again.
NORA HARRIS: Tonight I have a chance, no matter how slim, of coming out with a title and believe me, as much respect as I have for the current X Champion Nick Redfield, I know that he’ll understand if it ends up being me! He knows what it’s like to start out at the bottom and work your way up, for sure! But I promise you all, that this particular fairy may not actually be from Pixie Hollow but I’m definitely doing some flying tonight!
She takes a handful of ‘pixie dust’ out of a pocket in her hand and holds it up before blowing a kiss over it to send sparkles at the camera before the feed cuts elsewhere.

Eli Carlson vs. Desmond Masters
The match starts and Desmond tries to use his speed to his advantage. He sprints around the ring and catches Eli with a hurricanrana. Masters followed it up with a springboard dropkick. Desmond was starting to feel things clicking and went for a handspring cutter. Eli saw it coming and kicked Masters legs out from under him causing him to land hard on his upper shoulders. The crowd made an “ooohh” and the tide started turning. Carlson dragged up Desmond and connected with a few elbows before an implant ddt. Eli hit the ropes and then caught Masters with a senton. From there Eli went to the corner and waited for Masters to get to his feet. Once he did Eli came charging out and connected with “Red Light Special" (sick kick). Eli goes for the cover and gets the three count.
Jackson: Back to back wins now for Eli Carlson.
Judd: Phoenix has chosen him to be the new face of SAP. I'm not sure how the rest of the roster feels about that but I'm sure we will find out as time goes on.
Jackson: The goal for everyone is to become a champion here in SAP and I'm sure Eli will have his fare share of clashes with many talented people. For tonight though, he's celebrating his win.
Winner: Eli Carlson
_________________________________________
Rachel Redding is seen walking down the hall getting mentally prepared for her upcoming Great American title match in the main event. She looks focused but then Luca Di Paolo turns the
corner with Roxanne and Foxanne on each arm. All three burst out laughing when they see Rachel who just gives them a dirty look in return. Luca starts to run his mouth to Rachel who doesn't hold back any words in return. Finally Luca tells Rachel that he demands a match with her. Rachel laughs in Luca’s face and tells him that he needs to step into a ring first before she will ever wrestle him. Luca becomes angry and says that he will step foot in the ring next show and then she will have no choice but to face him. Luca then sticks his hand out and asks Rachel to shake on it. Redding humors him and does so before walking off to finish getting ready for her match.
________________________________________
The scene opens up backstage where we see the one and only First Class Mean Girl Veronica Taylor who is walking in stride clearly a scowl is formed on her face. She is dressed in her wrestling gear ready to compete in the rumble tonight. As she soon is stopped by none other than Aleks Parker who is holding a microphone as the once again signed First Class woman stares a hole through her before rolling her eyes. As Aleks soon begins to speak in her normal tone of voice.
Aleks Parker: Veronica, tough break last time you were here. However, tonight you have a big chance to get a shot at the X Championship however, to do that you have to win the costume battle royal and it seems like you're not dressed the part.
Veronica rolls her eyes at the question before letting out a chuckle.
Veronica Taylor: Costume? No silly girl see this is my costume see I am dressed as what you and everyone else would want to be. A chance in their sad basic lives to be the one and only Veronica Taylor. Knowing that all of them would do some basic ass kids costumes that don't even look good at that age what makes you think I would go to that level? I am beyond that. And as far as Desiree goes she got lucky simple as that she beat me, and she should be happy with that but that in lies the difference between us. I am the leading lady I might go down in a scene but at the end of the day I win the end of the movie shows me with the victory and the uglies are left in the wake and tonight that is what is gonna happen. Desiree I look forward to ruining your dreams but you not the only one now see all of those basics around you yeah they are getting thrown over as well. After all we can't have an ugly X Champion, can we?
Veronica chuckles amused at her own comments.
Aleks Parker: Well, they could be all gunning for you. You're not the most popular woman backstage or anywhere else for that matter really. I mean I know you have history with Fliex, Hazel Overton, Ashley Maldono, and you're gunning for Nick Redfield and his title what is your strategy for this match?
Veronica rolls her eyes as if she were personally insulted by the level of thought put into that question.
Veronica Taylor: Strategy? Do you know something I do have a plan, but I am not going to spell it out for you. Ugh why are interviewers so stupid?! Like a wrestlers plan to victory is going to be revealed but you know something I do got something to tell all of you watching here tonight in this trash heap city. See I was thinking first time here I tried to be nice and do things alone you know but as the hottest commodity in wrestling I can't do that as Sap's hottest free agent I couldn't let myself get hurt or otherwise the company would fall. SAP needs a revolution a pretty revolution. One that is going to be lead by myself and the woman who I am about to introduce to all of you. So without further adue please put your fat little hands together for none other than my bestie BIANCA DAVIS.
Soon enough a tall blonde comes through dressed to the nines she has a smug smirk as she rolls her eyes at Aleks before hugging Veronica and giving her a kiss on the cheek which is returned by Veronica. Then standing behind them is a giant muscular woman with her arms crossed.
Bianca Davis: Your dismissed buhbye.
Bianca and Veronica wave off Aleks who leaves as the two keep the microphone before Bianca begins to speak in her normal tone.
Bianca Davis: See everyone wants a piece of my girl and that is not going to happen with me and Matilda here no, no. You basics don't just get to touch us whenever anymore you come to us you deal with her got it? And speaking of titles those tag team titles need be prettified and that is what we are going to do got it?
Veronica Taylor: Couldn't of said it betters myself so get ready for your makeovers SAP sorry bout it.

Cameras cut to the back as Desiree Jenkins is fixing her Halloween costume. She is wearing a Sailor Moon type costume. Desy turns to see the camera.
Desy Jenkins: I am so ready for this battle royal. It's going to be fun. After this, I will be focusing on the Nicole Hamilton Deathmatch Tournament. So people get ready. It's Desy Time.
Desy smiles as she continues to get ready.

International Tag Team Title Match
The Reeds vs. Satsujin
The bell rings and Lilah starts off the match against Cappadonna. Cappadonna tried to keep Lilah in check with her striking background but found out that Lilah had no problem throwing hands. Lilah soon took the advantage and went to tag in Charlie but Donna broke free and sprinted across the ring to tag in Nari. Charlie and Lilah made the switch and Charlie was caught off guard at first as Nari brought her power game to the table but as soon as he had a chance he took her to the ground. Charlie locked on a butterfly stretch and Cappadonna had to come in and break it up. She then caught Charlie with a windmill kick. Lilah tried to enter the ring but the referee pushed her back to her corner. Cappadonna exits the ring and Nari continues her assault on Charlie. Nari went for a big yakuza kick but Charlie rolled out of the way and made it to his corner. He tagged in Lilah and she came in like a house of fire. Cappadonna entered the ring to try and calm things down but even she was taken out. She then grabbed Nari and delivered “Kiss the Ground” (Sitout Face Buster). Lilah went for the cover and got the three count.
Jackson: The Reeds pick up another win and the titles stay around their waists.
Judd: It was back and forth for a bit there. Satsujin are always dangerous when you start to count them out but The Reeds stayed focused tonight.
Jackson: The Reeds will now await their next challengers just like we will.
Winners: The Reeds

With the Halloween costume battle royal still to come, Oliver Overton is walking backstage wearing his best Drake from Uncharted costume. A nearly lit cigarette is sticking out of his mouth as he is looking for Iris Hawthorne.
Olly: Iris! Hey Iris!
He shouts her name hoping it would grab her attention. Even though he is competing in the royal, his focus is on gaining some measure of revenge against the Pro Asian bimbos.
Olly: Where are you Iris?
He rounds the corner as a woman in a sexy pirate's outfit is standing outside the women's locker room. He stops as he can't help to stare.
Iris: What is it you want Olly?
Olly raises his eyebrow as Iris spins around to look him in the eye. He sucks a big pocket of air as she places her hat on her head.
Olly: Oh my god!
Iris chuckles.
Iris: Are you liking what you see Olly?
Olly nods.
Iris: Well, better take a picture hon because it will last longer. Now, let's go.
Olly nods his head again as they head towards the stage.
________________________________________
As the camera opens up on the backstage area, it shows an empty hallway for a few moments before a dark haired beauty named Celeste sticks her head out from around the corner. The fans cheer at the sight of her while she surveys the scene around her. After a few moments wrestling's most marketable man, CJ Cross moves around her and into full view, looking a bit annoyed. He shakes his head and begins to speak once the cheers begin to die down.
CJ: Celeste would you stop and just walk! We need as much time as possible to get ready for the battle royal!
Celeste: Well excuse me for trying to protect you from Vince!
Celeste snaps back at him before she comes into full view as she turns the corner and the two begin to make their way down the hallway.
CJ: I do not need protecting from him, besides he is not even on the card. He is not even worth being thrown into the battle royal!
Celeste: Couldn't you maybe have picked on someone your own size?
She was half joking and half serious. She really did worry about him going back and forth with Vince. He is a big guy, and well compared to him, CJ looks like a toothpick.
CJ: Couldn't you have not started trouble with someone so....
Celeste: Ugly? Creepy? Scary?
CJ: Yes, all of those.
She was always quick to finish his sentences, and she did not miss a beat when the conversation shifted to Bloody Mary.
Celeste: She is only jealous of me because of my good looks, don't you think so?
CJ: Yes, you look good.
She will take the compliment, but since it was not an answer to the question that she asked, he gets whacked in the arm for being a smartass.
CJ: Really!?
Celeste: Try being a smartass again bucko!
Celeste chuckles a bit as the two of them round the corner and head towards the locker room area.
CJ: So while the bruise forms, how about you finally let me in on what you are going to be for the match.
Celeste: Good things come to those who wait Mr. Cross.
It was the same response he has been getting for the last week or so. He knew she was going between a few in her mind. Though he could rule out pizza probably as that would not be too sexy and help her show off inside the ring.
CJ: How about just a little hint?
Celeste: Okay fine, I will give you a hint.
CJ: Okay, finally.
For a few more steps Celeste stays quiet leaving CJ to raise an eyebrow and speak up again.
CJ: And that hint would be!?
Celeste: I hope this does not give it away, because I want it to be a surprise, but, the hint is... It's a costume!
Her obvious and very vague hint brings out a hearty laugh from her leaving CJ to shake his head.
CJ: Who's the smartass now!?
Celeste: Still you!
She speaks through her laugh before taking off in a run down the long hallway. CJ begins to chase after her leaving the camera behind and the scene to fade away to black.

All of the competitors start coming down the aisle from the curtain. You can see the wrestlers wearing their costumes. Nick Redfield, the X champion, leads the way dressed as The Flash. We then see Felix Vialpando dressed as Harvey Birdman which gets a pop from the adult swim viewing crowd. Jaser Cruz who is making his debut tonight is dressed as Edward Scissorhands. Nora Harris is dressed up as Vidia from Disney’s Pixie Hollow. Celeste is seen as Black Widow from The Avengers. CJ Cross catches some eyes as he appears as some kind of zombie gummy bear.

Malaya Diyosa comes out as Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura which gets another pop from the anime crowd. Oliver Overton comes out as Drake from Uncharted. Heidi Thompson appears as Wednesday Addams. Desiree Jenkins is the last one to come out dressed as Sailor Moon which gets one final pop from the anime crowd.
The bell rings and an all out brawl begins as everyone in the ring has it out for each other. Some people begin to pair off while others decide to attack in groups. Suddenly there's some commotion as Vince Steel has made his way to the ring wearing Stan’s glasses and neck tie and tells the referee he's entering the match. The ref is aware of his addition and he enters the ring and joins the fight.
Mary is making her way across the ring attacking as many people as she can. CJ and Celeste have teamed up and are trying fight off Veronica and Malaya. Redfield has become the target of a few people knowing that if he's gone then there has to be a new champ. The first elimination comes from Desiree Jenkins however as she tosses out Raven Monetta.
Izzy: Raven Monetta has been eliminated!
Desiree nearly gets tossed out when she's hit from behind by Jaser Cruz. CJ and Celeste are at the head of several wrestlers who are trying their hardest to get Vince Steel out of the ring but he powers his way through them. Steel even grabs hold of Clue and sends him up over the top to the outside.
Izzy: Clue has been eliminated!
Felix is doing his best to stay hidden while Redfield turns his attack to Vince Steel trying to find some revenge for Clue. Ashley and Mary are exchanging shots back and forth when Mark Storm grabs hold of Felix. The two go back and forth for a moment before Felix catches him with a picture perfect dropkick that sends him over the top rope.
Izzy: Mark Storm has been eliminated!
Nora has met up with Iris and Oliver and they are locked up with Malaya and Veronica. There's some movement in the crowd as Cappadonna and Nari have made their way back out to the ringside area. This catches Iris and Oliver’s attention and they move to the ropes to trash talk back and forth with the Satsujin team. This leaves them vulnerable for a second and Malaya and Veronica swoop in and throw them over the top rope.
Izzy: Iris Hawthorne and Oliver Overton have been eliminated!
It isn't over there between the two teams as they begin to brawl around the ringside area. The referees do their best to separate them and send them back up the ramp. Back in the ring Malaya and Veronica turn around and focus their attention on Nora. They start double teaming her and it looks like they're getting ready to toss her out when Desiree comes over to help Nora. They fight the two off and then it's Nora who ends up tossing Malaya over the top rope.
Izzy: Malaya Diyosa has been eliminated!
Celeste and CJ have teamed up to take on Mary. Felix is trading blows with Jaser and most of the other people in the ring are focused on Vince. Felix lands a combo and manages to send Jaser to the mat. He leans against the ropes to catch a breath and that's when Ashley sees him. She gets a running start and catches him with a clothesline. As Vialpando is going up and over he wraps up Ashley in a head scissors and pulls her to the floor with him.
Izzy: Felix Vialpando and Ashley Maldano have been eliminated!
It isn't over between Ashley and Felix however as the two start to argue and a shoving match ensues. The referees intervene before it can get really serious. Inside the ring the action is getting more intense as people are more aware that the longer this goes the more Vince has a chance of winning. People start charging at him but he tosses them off. Even Nora tries and eats a boot for it. Jaser then tries his hand but ends up being thrown over the top rope by Steel.
Izzy: Jaser Cruz has been eliminated
As everyone is still focused on Steel no one notices the man wearing the hockey mask from the camp crystal lake match slide out from under the ring. He slides into the ring. Redfield isn't looking and gets thrown over the top rope. The man in the mask follows him to the outside and starts to attack. He's pulled apart by security and dragged off. Nick is furious as he heads to the back.
Izzy: Nick Redfield has been eliminated!
The rest of the wrestlers in the ring are caught off guard and are surprised as they know a new champ
will be crowned tonight. They all start to brawl again. CJ is going back and forth with Mary and manages to slow her down with some hard right hands. As he turns around he sees Vince grab Celeste by the hair and make eye contact with him and throw her over the top rope. Before he can even run over to get Vince he steps over the top rope and eliminates himself.
Izzy: Celeste and Vince Steel have been eliminated.
As CJ is left standing there shocked he doesn't notice Mary has come too. She comes over and nails him with a hard forearm to the back of the head. CJ is stunned and Mary takes advantage of the moment the best she can. She grabs hold of CJ and throws him to the outside.
CJ Cross has been eliminated
The five women left now circle each other. Mary is the first to strike and goes right after Heidi. She works her into a corner and lets go a brutal assault. Heidi slides down in the corner and Mary keeps going. She drives her foot into Heidi’s throat. Thompson slides over from the corner to the ropes and Mary uses enough force to send her over the bottom rope to the floor.
Nora now goes after Mary and Desiree pairs up with Veronica. The four go back and forth but Veronica takes a wild swing and Desy evades it to throw a hard knee into the gut of Veronica. It looks to have knocked the wind out of her and Desy isn't going to take any chances. She grabs Veronica and whips her over the top rope.
Izzy: Veronica Taylor has been eliminated
Mary has Nora on the ground and heads right for Desiree. Mary catches her with a brutal forearm that sends her stumbling back. Mary keeps pushing and gets her against the ropes. Desiree tries to fight Mary off but she connects with a stiff headbutt that sends Desy up and over.
Izzy: Desiree Jenkins has been eliminated
Nora is up and gets a running start before hitting Mary hard in the back with a running knee. The force sends her flying forward and landing head first into the second turnbuckle. Mary looks to be a bit dazed so Nora musters all of her energy and grabs hold of Mary and throws her over the top.
Izzy: Bloody Mary has been eliminated
Nora jumps up and down excitedly as she believes she has just won the battle royal and the X championship. What she doesn't see is Heidi Thompson roll back into the ring. Heidi doesn't make a sound. Instead she just runs up behind Nora and throws her over the top rope to the floor.
Izzy: Nora Harris has been eliminated! Here is your winner and new X champion, Heidi Thompson!
The crowd doesn't know what to think as some cheer and some boo. Nora is on the floor with her arms in the air wondering what the hell just happened. Heidi is ecstatic as the referee enters the ring and hands her the title.
Jackson: There were so many twists and turns to that match!
Judd: They tell you anything can happen in a battle royal for a reason. That is double for a battle royal with a title on the line. Heidi Thompson might not have won in the most conventional way but she worked smarter not harder tonight.
Jackson: Nick Redfield wasn't even eliminated by a competitor in the match! You've got to think he gets his rematch soon.
Judd: You've gotta have eyes in the back of your head for a battle royal Jackson. I'm sure he will get a shot to win it back but right now Heidi needs to focus on her first defense on Tuesday against some of the best the entire WCS has to offer.
Chris: You think I could get her number?
Aiden just looks over at Chris before lifting up the megaphone and saying into it “No”.
Winner: Heidi Thompson

The show cuts backstage as Celeste storms around a corner. She is fuming over her elimination from the costume battle royal and is, in fact, still dressed in her costume.
Celeste: I am so sick of this!
She yells and kicks over a trash can, spilling its contents all over the floor of the hallway.
Celeste: He had NO business being in the ring. He wasn't even invited to the show! And I was targeted just because CJ has beef with him? What the hell!
She grunts and notices the camera filming her. Celeste reaches out and grabs the camera. The cameraman struggles a bit to get it out of her hands, but Celeste holds it firm so the lens in right in her face as she speaks into it.
Celeste: For weeks I have tried to capture that new X title and for Weeks something or someone has stopped me. Its not a matter of skill or work ethic. I DESERVE that belt dammit! And you…you stopped me Vince. Rest assured I will not forget this. But for now I'll let CJ deal with you. I have plenty of others in my way, keeping me from that X Title. And I am going to run through each and everyone of them. You hear me SAP?! Send them and I will…
Celeste gets abruptly cut off as she is clubbed in the back of the head by none other than Bloody Mary. Mary stomps down on her and then grabs the camera in the same fashion Celeste just did, making the screen fill with her painted face. Mary cackles madly before throwing the camera to the floor. The screen goes to static, but the crowd can still hear Celeste and Mary fighting. The feed cuts out completely a few moments later.

The scene shows the office of Avery Quinn who looks a bit more than irritated as he paces back and forth in his office. The door swings open and Ox and another security guard have the man in the Jason mask who is struggling to get free. Ox forces him into the chair in front of Avery’s desk as the rest of security pours in. The man in the mask goes to move when Avery slams a hand on the table.
Avery: If you try to stand up one more time I'm going to tell them all to unleash hell on you.
The man in the mask sits still for the first time.
Avery: I'm not sure if you were paying attention out there but you just cost someone not just a match but their title in the process. Which causes me a giant headache. Now I have to come up with a solution to remedy all of this!
Avery sits down and pulls a small stack of papers over to him.
Avery: This is a contract for one match in SAP. You will face who we tell you and leave. There is a clause that if you lose you must unmask.
Quinn grabs his pen and opens up to the last page. He signs his name where it belongs and slides the papers over to the man.
Avery: I suggest you sign this.
The masked man looks it over before he takes a pen and makes some writing in the paper and slides it back to Avery. Quinn takes it and places it in a drawer.
Avery: Good. Now Ox, get this man off of the premises.
Ox then grabs the man and begins to drag him off. The scene ends with Avery breathing a sigh of relief.

YASMEEN SHERAZI: Ladies and Gentlemen I’m here with Vince Steel. Vince what was that our there?
VINCE: What was that? I thought it was quite obvious but you know what? Allow me to explain. As you know I just returned from taking some time off. I had a couple of nagging injuries as well as an unexpected intestinal infection that needed surgery. So I had time to sit back and look at things. I started to wonder why was it that I have caught so much flack around here. Why was it that EVERYONE in the locker room have something against me? I mean is it because I’m not some big breasted chick that does nothing but show her ass on twitter every week? Was it because I don’t come out here cursing and being vulgar, or insulting everyone else? Is it because I don’t have a WCW? No one has been able to explain to me why I get so much heat. But I resolve to say screw it! I get better and the only thing that is on my mind is the Nation Championship. I resolve that this time I’m going to show everyone that regardless of what you think of me, I am everything I say that I am. I will prove that I am the man that carries this company on his back. So I came to the ring during the CJ Cross/Brenden Samuels match to let them know that I was back and that I was back for MY title. But little CJ…little CJ didn’t like that I was out there and he attacked me…from behind mind you. So I defended myself. I dropped his ass like a bad habit and went on about my business. Fast forward to my title match and once again CJ attack me from behind. But here is the funny thing. Even though he screwed me out of my title…I wasn’t mad. I mean let’s be real with all the trash talking and bad mouthing I received, no one had the balls to do anything. Everyone pretty much played keyboard tough guy. But not CJ. No he came at me and I respected that.
But there was this one thing…this one voice that kept ringing in my ear…it was CJ’s voice telling me “It’s not over.” Not over? So you want war? With me? Well like I told him not to long ago, in war there are casualties, and tonight Celeste was that casualty, and I actually like her but…
Suddenly out of nowhere CJ Cross flies onto the scene laying into Vince Steel. After landing several shots, the Eastside Beast grabs Cross and sends him into the wall. Cross staggers forward and Steel grabs him by his face about to hit The Hand Of Steel, but CJ breaks free and snaps off a superkick! The kick finds its mark just not on Vince Steel as security arrives at this point and one of the guards takes the full brunt of the kick! It takes a few moments but security eventually breaks the two apart.

Main Event
Great American Title Match
Brandon Banks vs. Rachel Redding
The bell rings and the two begin to circle each other. Redding looks ever confident and Banks looks as if he wasn't lying when he said he was in great condition earlier. Rachel goes to lock up and Banks catches her with a stiff forearm that sends her to a seated position. Banks doesn't waste time and goes for a soccer kick but Rachel grabs the leg and rolls backwards bringing Banks to the mat. She looks to try and lock in a calf killer but Brandon gets free.
The two return to their feet. Rachel grabs Banks in a headlock but he brings her to the mat with a back suplex. He goes to drop a knee onto her forehead but she rolls out of the way and back to her feet where she catches Banks with a double stomp to the back. Banks is now flat and and Rachel went to go for her signature stomps but Banks now rolled out of the way and kip’ed up back to his feet. He caught Redding with a kick to the gut and went to whip her into the ropes but Redding reverses it. Banks crashes into the corner and Redding comes in at full speed with a jumping knee that catches Banks just right and splits his stitches.
Banks reaches up and feels his face. He pulls his hand away and sees the blood and knows that it's not exactly a great thing. Rachel comes back in for him but he lifts himself up in the corner and catches her with boots to the chin. Banks then lifts himself up on the ropes and connects with a blockbuster.
Banks rolls to his feet and Redding gets to a knee which allows Banks to swoop in and land a ddt. Banks returned to his feet and wiped the blood away from his face instead of going for a cover. Redding started to stir and Banks made his way over and grabbed her by the hair. Redding breaks free and lands a codebreaker right on the cut side of Banks’ face which sends him stumbling back into the ropes.
Redding snap mares Banks and then starts laying in her signature stomps. Spending extra time on the head and the cut of Brandon Banks. She gets to a knee and waits for Banks to stir. He slowly moves up to his feet. Banks looks to be in some serious pain as the blood pours out of him. Redding charges at him but Banks ducks her. She turns around quickly to try and catch him but he catches her with a dropkick that makes the crowd scream “YOU MAD?!”.
The dropkick looks to have taken a lot out of Banks as he is still slower to get to his feet than Rachel is. The two meet up again and Banks leads the charge with a series of stiff elbows. Banks whips her into the ropes and on the rebound goes for a “Bank Shot” (superkick) but Rachel ducks it and rebounds again. As Banks turns around Redding hits him with a “Category 1” (v-trigger) that drops him. Redding doesn't go for the cover though. She goes to a corner and waits. Yelling for Banks to get up. Slowly Brandon stirs. His entire face is covered in blood as it drips down to the mat beneath him. He gets to his knees when Redding shoots out and connects with another “Category 1”! Banks hits the mat hard. He doesn't even lift his arms to try and brace his fall. Redding then goes for the cover and gets the three count.
The crowd reaction is mixed as there are as many people who like Rachel as there is that don't. Plenty of the crowd is just stunned. The medical team immediately rushes into the ring and starts working on Banks to try and get him ready to be moved backstage to re-stitch his cut. The referee then hands Redding the Great American Title. Redding raises it high into the air as she celebrates her first title in SAP.
Jackson: Rachel Redding has just stunned the world...again!
Judd: I've been saying for weeks now that no one should be sleeping on Rachel Redding and I haven't been more right than right now. Banks is a warrior and one of the toughest in the game. He told everyone that he was perfectly fine coming into this match but I think we saw that might not be the case. That cut came into play early. The amount of blood this man has lost over this weekend is scary. He might need a transfusion Jackson.
Jackson: He very could well Judd. Now that the title has changed hands though there is a few things to note. Banks still hasn't used his guaranteed title shot from winning the GAGP so he still has that. If Redding now manages to hold onto the title until January she is guaranteed a shot at the National championship and a guaranteed spot in next years GAGP.
Judd: The pressure is on for Redding but I doubt she would want it any other way.
Jackson: Tonight has been quite the event. I'd like to thank all of you who watched tonight with us and weren't busy watching Stranger Things 2. We will see you in a couple weeks!
