Goodfellas Casino Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada
3rd October 2021
The entrance video package for Sunday Night Showdown begins, accompanied by the theme song of ‘Showdown’ by Pendulum as highlights of past action from 2013 to present day are sped up, showing the likes of Bobby Dean, Roscoe Shame, Night, Jay Wildman, Cody Williams & Nathan Paradine. As the video package finally comes to an end with an extended look at the ‘Sunday Night Showdown’ logo, the camera cuts to an exterior shot of the Goodfellas Casino Arena, in the heart of the Las Vegas strip, before cutting to a live shot of inside the arena. The camera pans around the sold out crowd, most of them on their feet and screaming loudly whilst trying to get their homemade sign shown in front of the camera. The cameras finally head over to the commentary table, where Julian Fiasco and Jeremiah Sloan welcome the fans watching on TV to the broadcast and begin to break down some of the action that will take place on tonight’s show!

Return to Action
The cameras head backstage where Jon Page is preparing for another night of action in his office. The door quickly opens, and in walks a face that hasn’t been seen on sVo TV for a number of months now, the high flying Kyle McRae!
Kyle McRae: “Boss man! What’s happening!”
Page nods at the young Scot as he makes his way into the office and slumps down in the chair in front of the desk opposite the boss.
Jon Page: “I heard you were cleared, how is that arm doing?”
McRae works the arm out, still feeling it a little bit but doing his best to disguise it.
Kyle McRae: “It’s all good boss man. Now I am ready to get back in the ring, so how about you give me one of those Blood Money bastards! I wanna get my revenge!!
Page laughs as he slowly shakes his head.
Jon Page: “Seriously, you didn’t learn from last time? I told you to swerve them, work your way up and you choose to go after them and end up on the injured list. Now you want to come back and do the same thing?”
Kyle McRae: “That’s pish! I ain’t gonna get pushed around and I ain’t going to let them mess with me! Give me one of them one on one and I will show them and the fans just who is who around here!”
Page shakes his head and laughs.
Jon Page: “Ok I can book you against JVD tonight, but just remember I haven’t got space on my roster for someone that is on the injured list most of the time!”
Page signs off on the match on the sheet of paper on his desk, making it official, as McRae gets to his feet looking happy with himself and leaves the office.

Putting Things Right
There are boos from the fans watching on the big screen as the cameras cut to the backstage area where the sVo Champion Johnny All Star and the legendary manager JD James are sitting together in the Horizon locker room. JD doesn’t look in a happy mood, as Johnny All Star sits and stares at his championship belt, seemingly fixated by it.
JD James: “You went too far last week Johnny! There was no reason that this couldn’t have been a friendly match between you and Gunner at the PPV. Shake hands before and after, let the best man win and all of that…”
All Star slowly nods his head.
Johnny All Star: “I know JD, it’s gone too far.”
James looks a little surprised with the sVo Champion agreeing with him, so decides to dig a little deeper.
JD James: “What did happen Johnny? The lights went out just like during the match with Vorheez at the PPV and the next thing Gunner is laid out! Who or what is happening when the lights cut?”
All Star shrugs his shoulders, clearly avoiding the question.
Johnny All Star: “I am too far into this already JD, but I needed to do it. I needed to get my hands on this sVo Championship, I have been trying for fourteen years for god’s sake.”
JD James: “Johnny… Talk to me… What’s going on?”
All Star suddenly rises up to his feet, as if he has had a moment of clarity. All Star throws the belt back over his shoulder.
Johnny All Star: “I will find Gunner, I will put the past right tonight JD. I want you to know you are coming along for the ride as well old friend.”
Before JD James can ask any more follow up questions or suggest that it might not be a good idea to try and put things right with Gunner Lang right now after what happened last week, Johnny All Star disappears out of the locker room door and the scene fades out.

If you want to rip each other apart that’s fine, but you can do it on pay per view where I can at least make some money out of two of my top stars taking lumps out of each other!

Johnny All Star: “Guys, guys. I’m not here to fight or start anything.”
Gunner Lang: “What are you here for Johnny? We got no interest in talking to you, in fact the next time I want to see your face is at Vendetta when I take that title belt.”
Lang pats the Championship belt that is on All Star’s shoulder, causing the Champion to have to bite his tongue.
Johnny All Star: “I get it, I get it. But we go way back don’t we?”
Dixon steps forward to try and square up to All Star, much to the amusement of the Champion, only for Lang to hold his son back.
Gunner Lang: “All that went out the window Johnny when you pulled your little trick with the lights and got me attacked on Showdown…. To think that Vorheez has been targeting all the Horizon boys thinking it was us ever since the PPV and you knew who it was all along…. You gonna spill the beans, ya know, as we go way back?”
All Star holds his palms up in surrender again before slowly backing away.
Johnny All Star: “I see you guys are still angry and I understand, I didn’t want things to go down the way they did honest. I will make it up to you both….”

Making A Mark
The cameras head backstage to the interview area, where pretty redhead Katie Smith is standing by, microphone in hand, along with former sVo Tag Team Champion CJ Dreamer. On the monitor alongside the pair is a reply from the most recent uprising of ‘sVo Uprising’ and in particular the main event where CJ Dreamer came up short against Joe Barone in singles action.
Katie Smith: “Thanks for joining me here tonight CJ, I understand you have something you wanted to say to the sVo fans?”
CJ Dreamer: “You know what Katie, I got something to say to everyone after Uprising. Ever since the sVo returned my career has been stop start. I have been up high in the main event of the first PPV back challenging for the sVo Championship, and I have been as low as losing match after match. When the sVo closed down in 2013 I was a champion and when it came back in 2020 I had high hopes for my future here… Only it’s not turned out the way I had hoped.”
Katie Smith: “Well it was a very close match against Joe Barone last Sunday, and he is someone with an excellent singles record in the sVo.”
CJ Dreamer: “That’s kind of you to say, but I have spent the years between 2013 and 2020 competing for World Championships around the globe, not losing match after match. This is why something big needs to change.”
Katie Smith: “Well what have you got in mind CJ?”
CJ Dreamer: “In less than a week we have the sVo Immortals PPV. An event that will see the stars of sVo’s past return for one night only. Now I was only a rookie when those guys left, trying to make my name off of them. In terms of the sVo I guess I still am a rookie, so at Immortals I have asked Jon Page to find me the biggest sVo legend he can get to Las Vegas and let me go one on one!”
Katie Smith: “Wow! Any idea who you will be facing?”
CJ Dreamer: “Page hasn’t let me know yet, only that the match is definitely booked in. I don’t care who it is, they are going to get the best of CJ Dreamer at Immortals…. I will make my mark!”
The scene fades out as Dreamer stares into the camera.

A Fighter’s Chance
After the impressive victory for Kyle McRae over Blood Money’s JVD, the camera cuts backstage to the interview area where Athena is watching the action with a big smile on her face. Alongside Athena is Katie Smith, as always with a microphone in hand!
Katie Smith: “Well Athena, that was quite a blow for Blood Money we just witnessed, I guess you will be looking to inflict another one tonight?”
Athena smiles and nods.
Athena: “Oh you bet your ass. Now I know at Vendetta the odds are against me when I step into the steel cage against Moretti and Barone. I know that it might be the end of the road for me, but that’s ok because I still have a fighting chance to come out of this thing and step out of this cloud that Moretti has been holding over me since I got here!”
The fans watching from the arena cheer.
Athena: “But tonight I am grateful to Gunner for stepping up and teaming with me to face Blood Money, especially when he has his own problems with Johnny All Star to deal with and a big title match coming up soon!”
Katie Smith: “Well it is certainly a match the fans want to see and it is up next… Now Athena, before we see that match… any chance you want to give me the scoop on what this secret is before Vendetta?”
Athena: “Tell you what Katie, if I lose at Vendetta and have to reveal it to the world, you come down to the ring and I will give you the scoop.”
Smith looks pleased with the agreement & Athena looks like she has a weight lifted off of her shoulders as the scene fades out!

Queen of the TapOut
With only moments to go until the main event of the evening, the cameras head backstage for the last time to the office of sVo Owner Jon Page. Page, who has had a busier night than usual, is relaxing ahead of watching the main event, when there is a knock at the door. Page looks up at the heavens in annoyance at being interrupted.
Jon Page: “Come in!”
Page shouts out reluctantly, but his mood takes an upswing as in walks Jupiter James with a smile on her face.
Jon Page: “Oh, uh. Jupiter… How can I help you?”
James smiles sweetly as she stands across from the boss, leaning on his desk.
Jupiter James: “Well I am here asking a big favour actually….”
Jon Page: “Ask away!”
Jupiter James: “Thanks boss! Well I know I have the big submission match against Alissia Young coming up at Vendetta and that is going to be a great spotlight for me. But my favour is the chance at another spotlight! Ahead of that submission match it would be great to get some more experience in with someone else that is a master of submissions, and I have heard that the greatest sVo TapOut Champion of all time is going to be at the Immortal’s PPV on Thursday night….”
A smile slowly spreads across the face of Jon Page as he grabs the pen from his desk and makes the match official, signing on the paper in front of him.
Jon Page: “Jupiter James vs. Sara Pettis at Immortals…. I like it!”
James winks at Page before slowly walking away towards the door.

Pyro shoots into the air either side of Athena at the same time her arm shoots into the air, before she slowly walks down the entrance ramp. Athena climbs into the ring before posing for the fans one last time as the music fades out.
The familiar riff of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck fills the arena. As the pyro goes off on the entranceway Gunner Lang explodes onto the entrance ramp shooting off his own pyro from a gun while the sVo Tron shows Gunner and a band playing his entrance music. The fans are on their feet cheering and shout ‘Gunner’ along with the song. Gunner drops the pyro gun and runs down to the ring slapping hands with the fans and giving devil horns.
