sVo Against All Odds
Goodfellas Casino Arena
Sunday 4th April 2021
The sVo logo fades on and then off of a black screen before ‘Venom’ by Eminem hits and the opening video package for ‘Against All Odds’ begins to play, featuring classic action with highlights from the likes of Psyko Stevo, Bobby Dean, Anthony Moretti, Roscoe Shame, William Vorheez, Nathan Paradine, JVD & Night.
As the package begins to come to an end, the live camera shows a shot of the outside of the Goodfellas Casino, sitting on the heart of the Las Vegas strip before heading inside and panning around the sold-out Goodfellas Casino Arena inside. Fireworks begin to shoot up from the top of the entrance ramp as fans jump out at the camera trying to get their face on TV as the atmosphere for tonight’s show continues to build, with the music playing over the arena’s sound system.
The camera swings around to see the commentary team of Julian Fiasco & Jeremiah Sloan sitting at ringside, before turning to show the giant screen at the top of the entrance ramp as some of the matchups for tonight’s show are shown. The fans cheer for their favourite and boo for the villains as the matchups for tonight are run down, ending with the main event which will see new sVo Las Vegas Champion Gunner Lang take on former sVo Champion Anthony Moretti in singles action!

Earlier Today
The cameras cut to a scene that was filmed earlier today, where the new sVo Champion is sitting at a poker table wearing an all black shirt and suit combo. Vorheez is surrounded by follow poker players, and a crowd seems to have gathered around the table at the sight of the sVo Champion out in public.
Despite winning the sVo Championship at the last sVo event against Anthony Moretti in the main event of Countdown to Violence 2021, the luck of Vorheez in the ring doesn’t seem to have translated to the poker table as he stares at the last few chips that are piled up in front of him, not enough to buy in to the next hand.
The rest of the poker players are eyeing up Vorheez’s last few chips like the sharks they are, but the sVo Champion doesn’t seem to worried.
William Vorheez: “All in, and let me raise you this.”
Vorheez picks up from his left hand side the gold plated new sVo Championship belt, first won by Anthony Moretti when the fourth era of the sVo got underway in 2020. There are murmurs from the audience and the eyes of the rest of the players grow wide as the belt sits in the middle of the table, glistening under the lights.
Vorheez looks around at his fellow players with a neutral look on his face, as one by one they reveal their hands, all beating the cards that Vorheez is holding.
William Vorheez: “Well… You win some, you lose some.”
The grateful new owner of the 2020 sVo Championship belt scoops it towards him with the rest of the poker chips sitting in the middle of the table, as Vorheez rises up to his feet, picking up his 2013 sVo Championship belt as he does. Vorheez takes a long look at the old title belt and smirks, before walking away from the table as the camera pans in on the mediocre cards that Vorheez had in his hand before fading out.

Rules of Engagement
The camera heads to the backstage interview area where roving reporter Katie Smith is standing against the interview backdrop with a microphone in hand as always. Alongside Smith are the towering figures of the new sVo Tag Team Champions Darwin Jones & Hugo Ryzing, with manager JD James standing in the middle of the pair. Jones and Ryzing look smug with the title belts over their shoulders, and JD James looks proudly up at the pair that he brought into the Sanctioned Violence Organization.
Katie Smith: “JD, Countdown to Violence was a successful night for Horizon, with Darwin and Hugo winning the Tag Team Championship belts and Gunner winning the Las Vegas Championship! You must be delighted with how things went!”
JD James: “Well Katie, when I brought these boys back to the sVo this is exactly what I saw happening. We turned the tide against Anthony Moretti running rough shot over the sVo and showed the world just what Horizon is all about!”
Katie Smith: “Well with so much gold in Horizon now, there must be a target painted on your backs! How do you plan to cope with the rest of the sVo roster as well as Blood Money coming after you?”
JD James: “Well Katie, the thing is, my boys are the best there are when it comes to the sVo roster. We fancy ourselves in a fair fight against anyone in the world! You are right though there is a target painted on our backs now we have been successful, but as Moretti found out two weeks ago on Sunday, you mess with one member of Horizon and you mess with us all!”
Before Katie Smith can ask another question, the interview is interrupted by the sound of slow clapping coming from a short way down the corridor. Everyone in the scene turns and looks as the clapping comes closer, and into camera shot walks Jon Page, dressed as always in a black suit. Page stops his slow clapping as Darwin Jones and Hugo Ryzing stare down at him.
Jon Page: “Well done JD, let me say that right off the bat, congratulations. The team you brought back to the sVo has been a success and has made me a lot of money along the way so far!”
James nods his head cautiously.
JD James: “Ok…. I sense there is a ‘but’ coming….”
Jon Page: “The but is that I want you to all keep making me a lot of money in the future. Which is why this war with Blood Money has to stay in the ring. Now I dislike Anthony Moretti as much as if not more than anyone else, however he also makes me a lot of money. So what I am saying to you, to all of you, is let’s keep the competition in the ring and avoid collateral damage.”
James opens his arms and nods in agreement.
JD James: “Jon, pardon the pun but we are on the same page. I have Darwin Jones right here, the pinnacle of evolution. I have Hugo Ryzing here, a man so smart he could have gone to his pick of Ivy League schools, and so powerful he beat off the strongest competition in the world to win the first ever ‘All Star Challenge’! We are all about keeping things in the ring where no one can match us! I can’t help but feel you should be having this conversation with our rivals from down the corridor!”
Page nods and sighs deeply.
Jon Page: “Oh I will be, but I thought I would start with the reasonable folk first. Now, good luck in your match out there boys, go and make me even more money!”
The scene slowly fades out.

Opportunity of a Lifetime
The camera heads back to a live shot backstage in the Goodfellas Casino Arena, where in the locker room Sean O’Grady and Tom Flynn are hyped up ready for one of the biggest opportunities of their lives! Flynn and O’Grady are alone in their own corner of the locker room, but are speaking at the top of their voices.
Tom Flynn: “Wow can you believe this brother! We get to open the show against the tag team champions!”
Sean O’Grady: “This is it, our shot at the big time! If we win tonight we get off of those developmental deals for sure and get some of that main show money!”
O’Grady and Flynn bump fists, clearly pumped up for the match ahead.
Tom Flynn: “They are two big bastards, so we need to chop them down to size early doors! Let’s go out there and get the job done Seany boy!”
Flynn and O’Grady turn to leave the locker room, however blocking the door is the towering frame of Joe Barone. Next to Joe Barone is Anthony Moretti, the former Tag Team Champion and former sVo Champion, looking almost naked with no gold on him after spending months being a double champion but now having nothing. Moretti and Barone are both dressed in smart suits, and both look menacing as they stare at the rookie tag team.
Anthony Moretti: “Well what do we have here Joe, a couple of rookies who think they can do what we didn’t at the PPV and beat Ryzing and Jones?”
O’Grady and Flynn look slightly nervous, as they shift from foot to foot and look at each other, wondering just how to react seeing as there is no way past the massive frame of Joe Barone who is blocking the door frame. Barone doesn’t answer Moretti, however he does menacingly fold his arms and stare straight at the two rookies.
Anthony Moretti: “As that what I overheard you saying boys? That you think you are better than us?”
Flynn and O’Grady fall over themselves trying to explain as Moretti stares at them both with daggers in his eyes, before slowly breaking into a chuckle.
Anthony Moretti: “Don’t worry you stupid micks. I’m only playing with ya! Not even your own mothers could seriously think that you two are better than me and big Barone here!”
O’Grady and Flynn glance at each other, biting their tongues from replying.
Anthony Moretti: “You do have a match against Ryzing and Jones tonight though, that is true, and that is what we want to talk to you about. No we know that you two rook’s have no chance of coming away with the win, I mean come on, if we couldn’t then no way you are! Am I right?”
Moretti opens his palms, and Flynn and O’Grady struggle to answer.
Anthony Moretti: “Rhetorical boys, of course I am right! Now there was another team in that match who screwed us, but that is another fight for another day. I am here now to make you boys an offer, an offer you can’t refuse you might say! No you won’t get the win tonight, but if you go out there and seriously injure one of those big gavone’s then you get a nice slice of what is in my right pocket!”
Moretti reaches into his right pocket of his pants and pulls out a wad of crisp dollar bills. Moretti rolls them around in his fingers under the noses of the rookie team.
Anthony Moretti: “If that isn’t incentive enough… you don’t injure one of your opponents tonight and maybe you get what is in my left pocket….”
Moretti reaches into his left pocket, and pulls out a trademark wad of dyed red dollar bills, the trademark that the Blood Money group have taken to stuffing into the mouths of their fallen opponents.
Moretti smirks before giving O’Grady and then Flynn a playful slap on the cheek.
Anthony Moretti: “Good boys, you know it makes sense. Now run along, you fellas got work to do!”
Joe Barone takes the cue, and steps away from blocking the door, allowing O’Grady and Flynn to sheepishly walk past as the scene fades out.
Non Title Tag Team Match
Horizon vs. The Shamrocks
“Going out in Style” by the Dropkick Murphys hits the sound system and there is a cheer as the arena is basked in a green glow. After a few seconds Tom Flynn & Sean O’Grady step out onto the top of the entrance ramp and raise their arms in the air to acknowledge the crowd! Flynn cracks his knuckles at the top of the entrance ramp, before marching down to the ring, whilst O’Grady slaps hands with fans at ringside. Both men jump into the ring and get ready for the big match to get started!
“Keep on Swinging” by Rival Sons floods the sVo arena as some pyro goes off. Hugo Ryzing makes his way out onto the entrance ramp with a hoodie covering his head and the sVo Tag Team Championship belt in hand; he pauses for a moment and then makes his way down to the ring bobbing his head to the rhythm throwing some practice punches and taking time to look at the crowd. He pulls himself up into the ring and makes his way to the center throwing his head back revealing his face and throwing his arms up into the air. He scrambles and pulls himself up into a corner taking off his hoodie throwing it into the audience and once again throws his arms up into the air before jumping down and preparing for the match.
The arena lights dim as the V-Tron goes dark and several different colored gases start swirling in the middle. As the gases swirl faster the arena is rocked with an explosion from the V-Tron and pyro exploding from the ramp. The swirling gases are replaced by a spinning earth and ‘Evolution’ by Clawfinger fills the arena. The earth continues to spin as pictures of mankind’s greatest accomplishments and tragedies emanate from the spinning globe.
A Cro-Magnon man starts to walk forward evolving with every step it makes raising its arms out to the side, finally ending with Darwin Jones walking forward with his arms spread wide blocking out the view of the earth. Pyro explodes on the entrance ramp as Darwin Jones appears on the entrance ramp arms spread wide and the sVo Tag Team Championship around his waist. He takes his time to the ring working the crowd into a frenzy. Sliding into the ring he pulls himself up into a corner still working for the crowd.
Jones and Ryzing hand their Tag Team Championship belts to the ring announcer, as O’Grady and Flynn discuss who is going to start the match off for their big match against the current sVo Tag Team Champions. The referee calls for the bell to be rung, and the action gets started with Hugo Ryzing and Tom Flynn in the ring.
Flynn lays into Ryzing with some big right hands right from the very start of the match. The fans cheer Flynn, but Ryzing absorbs the punches before nailing one of his own. Ryzing grabs Flynn by the arm and shoots his opponent into the ring ropes, before nailing him with a elbow smash as he bounces back. The fans cheer Ryzing on, as he follows up with a scoop slam in the middle of the ring before dropping an elbow down across his opponent. Tom Flynn stumbles back up to his feet, but the former Hostility member Ryzing lays into him with some big right hands to back him into the corner of the ring, before landing a forearm upper cut!
Tom Flynn stumbles to get to his feet, but quickly rolls across and makes the tag out to Sean O’Grady. The fans cheer as the high flying O’Grady jumps into the ring and bounces off of the ring ropes before landing a spinning heel kick to rock Ryzing. Ryzing stumbles backwards, and O’Grady follows up with a dropkick to knock him down! O’Grady jumps up to his feet and celebrates the big move, but the celebrations don’t last long as Ryzing makes the tag out to Darwin Jones!
The 6’8” star from San Francisco steps over the top rope and smirks as he sizes up O’Grady. O’Grady runs at Darwin Jones to try and use his speed, but Jones takes him down with a big clothesline! The fans cheer as Darwin Jones bounces off of the ring ropes, before landing a massive big boot on his opponent as he gets to his feet! O’Grady struggles back up to a standing position, and Jones runs through him with a massive clothesline to send him back down to the mat. The fans cheer Jones on as he lands a scoop slam on O’Grady before following him with a big elbow drop on his opponent! With O’Grady down, Jones makes the tag out to Hugo Ryzing!
Ryzing jumps quickly into the ring and stomps away on O’Grady, before allowing him up to a standing position. O’Grady looks for a desperate right hand, but Ryzing ducks under neath the arm of his opponent before landing a big punch of his own! Ryzing grabs hold of O’Grady by the arm and whips him into the ropes, before knocking him down to the mat with a shoulder block as he bounces back! The fans cheer on Ryzing, as O’Grady scrambles over and makes the tag out to Tom Flynn! Flynn slowly climbs into the ring and throws some right hand hands, but Ryzing absorbs them before landing a big headbutt to his opponent!
Ryzing allows Tom Flynn up to a standing position, before hitting a Rolling Fireman’s Carry Slam! With Tom Flynn down, Ryzing again makes the tag out to Darwin Jones! Tom Flynn looks uneasy on his feet as he staggers up using the ropes to support him, but Darwin Jones is straight on with him with a Military Press Slam, before landing a Apex Slam on his opponent! With Flynn down, Darwin Jones taunts to the fans for the end of the match!
Jones stalks Tom Flynn as he stumbles up, before grabbing him of him and loading him onto his shoulders! The fans cheer as Darwin Jones hits the ‘Big Bang Theory’ on Flynn before making the cover!
One,
Two,
Three!
It’s all over and the sVo Tag Team Champions pick up the victory! Hugo Ryzing joins Darwin Jones in the ring and the two big men are presented with their championship belts, as Sean O’Grady helps his tag team partner out of the ring and to the back after the massive ‘Big Bang Theory’ from Jones.
Darwin Jones & Hugo Ryzing celebrate the victory in the ring to the delight of the fans, but can anyone defeat the so far undefeated big men?
Winners via pinfall: Darwin Jones & Hugo Ryzing

Demanding Respect
After the big win for the new sVo Tag Team Champions in their first match since winning the belts, the cameras again head to the backstage interview area, where Elena Cruz is standing by with Orlando Fox! Compton’s own Orlando Fox has a smirk plastered across his face that has seemingly been there since his match two weeks ago at Countdown to Violence, whilst Elena Cruz pouts and poses into the camera as the director gives her the ‘live’ signal.
Elena Cruz: “Ladies and gentlemen, Elena Cruz here, reporting live backstage at the Goodfellas Casino Arena! I am here with Orlando Fox, a man who was victorious against CJ Dreamer only two weeks ago at Countdown to Violence. Now Orlando, tell Elena what that victory meant to you?”
Cruz holds the camera out for Fox, but stares and pouts into the camera as he answers.
Orlando Fox: “You know what, the disrespect from the sVo fans before that match was real! The disrespect from CJ Dreamer before that match was real! Everyone in the world thought that Dreamer was going to walk out of there with an easy win. No one thought that I was going to get my arm raised in victory, but I proved all the haters wrong!”
Elena Cruz: “Well tonight you have another match against a new superstar here in the sVo, El Froggo, someone who made his first appearance on the Preshow of the PPV. How do you rate your chances?”
Again, Cruz seems more interested in posing for the camera than hearing the answer to the question.
Orlando Fox: “Is this some kind of joke? El Froggo is this cat’s name? I win the biggest match of my career and the sVo management put me against someone called El Froggo….”
Fox stares at the floor for a few seconds shaking his head in anger.
Orlando Fox: “This is another example of the disrespect I’ve been putting up with my whole career! I am a former sVo Hardcore Champion but that seems to matter for nothing around here. Tonight I am going to pull the legs off of that little frog and show the sVo world why they need to wake up and stop sleeping on Orlando Fox!”
Fox storms away from the interview area in disgust as Elena Cruz smiles and winks into the camera.
Elena Cruz: “That’s Elena Cruz with another exclusive here! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram and Only Fans!”

Turning Point
The cameras head backstage to the ‘Horizon’ locker room where JD James, Gunner Lang and Johnny All Star are still watching Darwin Jones & Hugo Ryzing celebrate their victory in the ring from their tag team match. JD James and Gunner look pleased with the win, but All Star looks deep in thought as he stares at the television without even watching.
JD James: “Wow, those boys are the real deal! We are on for another great night guys, Horizon is on the rise again!”
Lang nods in agreement to JD.
Gunner Lang: “I can’t wait to get my hands on Moretti in the main event tonight. It was him that was behind Blood Money beating me down on the night they formed all those months ago, and I owe him a receipt tonight!”
Lang rises up from his seat and looks pumped up and ready for his main event match later tonight as he exits the locker room, leaving JD James & Johnny All Star.
JD James: “Johnny, everything good?”
All Star slowly turns and looks at his mentor, a serious look on his face.
Johnny All Star: “I been thinking a lot JD. At Countdown to Violence Darwin and Hugo walked out with the tag belts, Gunner walked out with the Las Vegas belt, what about me? I couldn’t even get a win against someone who has had less than five matches here in the sVo.”
All Star shakes his head in disappointment as JD James tries to console his friend.
JD James: “Johnny, you have been here in the sVo since day one! You stood up for me first when Moretti tried to screw with me. No one here is doubting you!”
Johnny All Star: “Not true JD, I been doubting myself non stop. Maybe it’s time to step away and let these young guys take centre stage.”
JD James: “Hey, neither of us are getting any younger Johnny, our bodies have been through a lot. But you still got a lot to offer yet! Beside, you really willing to hang them up without winning the big one?”
All Star looks off into the distance deep in thought.
JD James: “You got a match tonight Johnny, time to get back to winning ways. Don’t go out there with any doubt though, that’s when things go wrong!”
The scene fades out as JD James and Johnny All Star share a knowing nod to each other.

It Was Ida All Along Pt 1
The camera cuts away to the women’s locker room area where developmental talent Kat Kellison and Lilith Morgan are sitting watching the show unfold on a nearby monitor. The pair seem in high spirits as they watch the action unfold, but the door suddenly swings open, nearly coming right off of it’s hinges and in marches an angry looking Jupiter James.
Jupiter James: “IDA GUILDRESS! Where is she?”
James grabs the nearest steel chair and swings it angrily, throwing it against the wall.
Kellison and Morgan stare at each other in shock, not knowing if it was a statement or a question from an angry Jupiter James.
Jupiter James: “WELL?”
James marches up to Kellison, getting in her face, nostrils flaring.
Jupiter James: “Where is Ida?”
Kellison and Morgan desperately try and explain to Jupiter James that they haven’t seen the British superstar, whilst pushing her away. James lets out an angry scream whilst grabbing another steel chair and tossing it high against the nearest wall. James stares at Morgan and Kellison angrily for a few more seconds, before turning and marching out of the locker room!
Kat Kellison: “Wow, I sure don’t want to be around when she finally catches up with her!”

Blood Money On The Hunt Pt1
The cameras head to the Blood Money locker room, where the group of five are gathered. James & Lucy Von Drake are sitting on the leather sofa to the left, whilst Money Malone sits to the right. Joe Barone stands tall against the wall with his arms folded as Anthony Moretti paces back and forth along the room.
Anthony Moretti: “Can you fucking believe it?”
Every member of the group keeps their heads bowed, not wanting to say the wrong thing to the boss.
Anthony Moretti: “After what I went through at the PPV, Vorheez basically chucks away that new sVo Championship belt in the casino! That belt is my legacy, I am the first man to hold it! Vorheez seriously wants to walk around with that old thing from 2013?!!”
Moretti kicks the wall in frustration, before continuing to pace.
James Von Drake: “It’s a disgrace boss. An absolute disgrace. First he walks around and calls himself Champion and now he things he gets to decide on what belt if official!”
Moretti turns on his heels and stares straight at Von Drake.
Anthony Moretti: “Genius!”
Von Drake looks back, not knowing what to say.
Anthony Moretti: “Vorheez thinks he can walk back after all those years and call himself champion with that old belt. Well how about I get the 2020 belt back and make that official, play him at his own game and become the sVo Champion again!”
The rest of Blood Money don’t look too convinced.
Anthony Moretti: “Come on, let’s get out there in the casino and find my god damn belt!”
Moretti leads the way, the rest of Blood Money reluctantly following towards the casino!

With Orlando Fox looking to follow up his massive victory over CJ Dreamer at the Countdown to Violence PPV, he runs straight at El Froggo as the bell is rung and nails him with some massive right hands. The fans boo loudly, but Fox doesn’t seem to care as he punches El Froggo down to a sitting position in the corner of the ring.

A New All Star Is Born
After the big victory for Orlando Fox, we again head backstage to the interview area where Katie Smith is standing by with two figures who may not be well known by all sVo fans, however draw loud boos from the fans watching from ringside that do recognise them.
Katie Smith: “HyperNova, VIP! Tonight you get your big break on Against All Odds in a singles match against one of the most popular stars in the sVo, Johnny All Star! You must be pumped up for the match tonight?”
Smith holds the microphone out to HyperNova, expecting an answer from the young French superstar about how excited he is to be facing one of the sVo’s legends in singles action in his first appearance on the sVo’s flagship show, however only gets a one word answer.
HyperNova: “Non.”
The fans boo loudly for the Frenchman as he turns his nose up at disgust towards Katie Smith, whilst his manager and marketing executive Victoria Isabel Patience takes control of the microphone.
VIP: “Katie, what kind of question is that? I think you got things all backwards darling. Tonight is not the big break for HyperNova, no tonight’s is the big break for Against All Odds to finally have a superstar at the level and ability of HyperNova to appear in singles action!”
Katie Smith: “With all due respect Ms Isabel-Patience, HyperNova has only competed in one match so far on the Countdown to Violence PPV Preshow where he was defeated by The Teacher, however he is facing Johnny All Star who is a former International Champion and has headlined PPV’s!”
HyperNova looks disgusted, as he huffs and waves his arm at disgust in the direction of Katie Smith.
VIP: “Katie, Johnny All Star is a nobody, not even a has been, because he is a never was. Whereas my client HyperNova is the hottest thing to come out of Europe since the Beatles. He is good looking enough to have been a model, he is smart enough to have been a tech billionaire and he is tough enough to make it to the top of the fighting world!”
HyperNova leans into the microphone with his head slowly nodding.
HyperNova: “Oui!”
VIP: “Tonight Johnny All Star loses another match and a new ‘All Star’ is born in the name ‘HyperNova’!”
HyperNova and VIP nod slowly to each other, before slowly exciting the interview area, leaving a perplexed Katie Smith behind.

Company Reunion
The cameras head backstage to the locker room of the sVo Champion William Vorheez, where the new sVo Champion is sitting silently, with the 2013 sVo Championship belt draped over his knees. Vorheez looks deep in thought as he stares down at the belt, the belt that he rightfully became the owner of when he defeated Anthony Moretti in the main event of Countdown to Violence two weeks ago.
The silence is broken, as the door to the locker room slowly creeks open, and in walks the click clack of Amy Page’s high heeled boots. Vorheez slowly lifts his head to look at Page, the former leader of the Company that Vorheez was a part of back in 2013, as if he was expecting her.
Amy Page: “Well Champ, I see you have sent Moretti off on a little ‘Easter Egg hunt’ of his own tonight.”
Vorheez shrugs his shoulders, as if Anthony Moretti going out in search of the 2020 version of the sVo Championship belt is of no importance to him.
Amy Page: “Well, it’s been two weeks since the Countdown to Violence PPV. I got to say, I am a little surprised that I haven’t heard from you since.”
Page pouts as she stands in front of Vorheez, who remains sitting. Vorheez looks a little confused as he looks up at the younger sister of the sVo Owner.
William Vorheez: “And why would you have heard from me?”
Page laughs as if Vorheez was making the funniest joke in the world, before noticing that Vorheez himself isn’t laughing and then beginning to look confused herself.
Amy Page: “I held up my end of the deal! My boys Scott and Yoshi beat the holy hell out of Moretti in that tag team match, gave you a cake walk to be able to beat him and be able to call yourself champion again!”
Page speaks as if what she is saying is obvious, as if she is explaining it to a child.
William Vorheez: “Amy, I had the right to call myself Champion for the past eight years, I never lost this belt.”
Page bats her hand playfully towards Vorheez.
Amy Page: “Ok, ok, whatever you say. Regardless of details though, we set you up to win that belt, just like old times. Now it’s time for you to come back into the fold officially!”
Vorheez stares at Page for a good few seconds, before slowly rising up to his feet. Vorheez carefully places the sVo Championship belt over his shoulder, before giving Page one last look, and then walking straight past her and out of the locker room without saying a word.
Amy Page begins to grit her teeth as the locker room shuts behind Vorheez, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
Single Match
Johnny All Star vs. HyperNova
Sash! – Encore Une Fois hits the sound system and the arena fills with boos as the young French star HyperNova steps out onto the top of the entrance ramp, with his manager Victoria Isabel Patience by his side. Flashlights go off up and down the entrance ramp as HyperNova marches down towards the ring as if he is on a fashion runway. Victoria Isabel Patience slowly walks behind him as HyperNova stops just short of the ring, and poses for the nearest camera.
