All-Star salutes to the fans that boo him with a pair of middle fingers, as he climbs into the ring and jumps to the second rope of the nearest turnbuckle.

More loud boos from the crowd, mixed in with a few ‘Cody, Cody’ chants.
Johnny Moretti: “Now whilst Cody Williams defend his title against people he knew he could beat, I have handpicked the most challenging opponents to cement my legacy as the greatest to ever hold this title! Now without further ado, let me present my challenger for this evening….. Greg STANLEEEEEYYYYYYY!”
There are more loud boos from the crowd, as the rookie Greg Stanley, who has made a few losing appearances on sVo Uprising before, slowly makes his way down the entrance ramp with no entrance music.

Top Woman
The cameras head backstage from the commercial break, where Alissia Young of the Canadian Connection is standing by in the interview area, along with Katie Smith who has a microphone in hand. Both ladies stand in front of the ‘sVo’ branded background ready for their cue for the interview to get started.
Katie Smith: “Alissia Young, thanks for joining me here tonight. Now your partners Scott Cole and Jake Hughes face what might be the toughest title defend of their reign in the main event tonight as they defend the Tag Team Championships against the Black Brothers. How are you feeling about the chances of walking out with the belts tonight?”
Young looks offended by the question, as she snatches the microphone from Smith.
Alissia Young: “What kind of question is that? The Black Brothers have been good, but Jake Hughes and Scott Cole have been the most dominating champions in the history of the sVo tag team division! They have beaten everyone that have stepped to them so far, and the Black Brothers will be no different in tonight’s main event!”
Smith nods her head and reaches out her hand for the microphone to ask a follow up question, but Alissia Young waves her away with a flick of her hand before looking into the camera.
Alissia Young: “What I really wanted to say tonight is that I am pissed off! I am pissed off with the lack of competition from the rest of the women here on the sVo roster! I have beaten every single women so far, hell I even took Jupiter James one of the most popular out of action! I am embarrassed by the lack of competition so far, and unless someone steps up quick then I guess it’s time for me to start taking down a few more of the men here….”
Young slams the microphone into the chest of Katie Smith, before storming out of the camera shot as the scene fades out.

Katie Smith: “Jacob, thanks for joining me! Now you are only moments away from a match against Money Malone to determine the #1 contender for the Las Vegas Championship. How do you rate your chances tonight?”
Jacob Izaz: “Well as you well know, I took Malone on at Vendetta last year and dominated the match before being screwed by a terrible referring decision. Tonight, I right that wrong and get my third attempt at a fair one on one match for the Las Vegas Championship…. What is that saying about third time lucky?”
Katie Smith: “Well it is sure to be a great match, but do you think there is much chance of Blood Money getting involved tonight?”
Izaz smiles at the question.
Jacob Izaz: “There is always that chance but believe me when I say I am prepared for any eventuality tonight. I will win this match, I guarantee it!”
Katie Smith: “Well you are certainly confident and I wish you will in the match, but just before we let you go, what are your thoughts on El Froggo refusing to shake your hand last week after your match on Uprising? Is he still upset that you said he didn’t deserve the Las Vegas title shot a few weeks ago?”
Izaz shrugs his shoulders.
Jacob Izaz: “I guess that is a question you will have to ask that little Mexican punk. All I can say is that it was a bitch move in my view and proved me right!”
Izaz nods his head to signal that the interview is over, as the scene fades out.

Katie Smith: “CJ, CJ. Could I get your view on your match earlier before you leave?”
Dreamer doesn’t slow down as Katie Smith tries to catch up with him.
CJ Dreamer: “My view? I’m pretty pissed off with myself if I am honest Katie…. I came back to the sVo when it reopened in 2020 and thought I would be in the main event and sVo Champion by now considering what I have done in this business between 2013 and now. But ever since Seasons Beatings 2020 and coming up short in that triple threat match when Moretti won the title, I have never got close to getting to that level again…. Even my home town crowd wanted to boo my opponent more than me tonight…..”
Katie Smith: “Any comments for those fans?”
CJ Dreamer: “I feel like I should be man, but I honestly can’t blame them…. I need to go back and see what made me successful in 2013… Back to the drawing board Katie…. I can’t go on like this.”
