[The camera pans over the electric crowd at the Goodfellas Casino Arena in Las Vegas. Fans are on their feet, waving signs and cheering loudly as the lights pulse to the beat of the show’s theme music. The sVo Showdown logo flashes on the screen, signaling the start of another exciting night of wrestling action.]
Julian Fiasco: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another thrilling edition of sVo Showdown! We are coming to you live from the legendary Goodfellas Casino Arena right here in Las Vegas! I’m Julian Fiasco, alongside my partner, Jeremiah Sloan, and what a night we have in store for you!
Jeremiah Sloan: That’s right, Julian! The atmosphere here is absolutely electric, and we have a stacked card tonight that is sure to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. Our main event is a clash of titans, as ‘the LA Luminary’ Alex Sterling steps up to face the destructive masked star from Japan, ‘Nightmare’!
Julian Fiasco: Nightmare has been a force of nature since arriving back in the sVo, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake as he tries to coax his brother Night out to face him. But Alex Sterling is no stranger to high-pressure situations. He’s a man who thrives under the bright lights, and tonight, he’s looking to prove he can hang with the best of the best.
Jeremiah Sloan: And let’s not forget, folks, the tension between these two has been building for weeks. Sterling wants to make a statement, but Nightmare is out to send a message to his brother Night, and anyone who dares to challenge him.
Julian Fiasco: Plus, we have plenty more action on the card! Last week, Johnny All Star suffered a shocking loss to Johnny Dorn, but tonight he has a chance to redeem himself as he prepares for his sVo Championship match at the Roll the Dice PPV.
Jeremiah Sloan: And speaking of redemption, we’ve got ‘the Natural’ Victor Holland looking to bounce back after that brutal post-match attack by Nightmare. What kind of shape will he be in tonight? And what will be the fallout from that vicious beating?
Julian Fiasco: All that and more, right here on sVo Showdown! Buckle up, folks, because it’s going to be a wild ride. Let’s get this show started!

Dirty Work
[The camera cuts to the backstage interview area where Katie Smith is standing by with a serious expression.]
Katie Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the number one contender for the sVo Championship, Johnny All Star.
[The crowd’s cheers can be heard in the background as Johnny All Star steps into frame, looking determined but weary.]
Katie Smith: Johnny, at the upcoming Roll the Dice PPV, you will face Anthony Moretti for the sVo Championship, but there’s an added stipulation – if you lose, your career is over. How are you feeling heading into this high-stakes match?
Johnny All Star: Katie, this isn’t just another match for me. It’s everything I’ve worked for, everything I’ve fought for. Moretti and I have a history, but this goes beyond personal vendettas. This is about proving to myself, to the fans, and to everyone in that locker room that I still belong here. I’ve given my life to this business, and I’m not ready to let it end just yet.
[Suddenly, out of nowhere, Danny Domino blindsides Johnny All Star with a vicious forearm to the back of the head, sending him crashing to the floor. The crowd’s cheers turn to boos as Domino relentlessly stomps on All Star, showing no mercy.]
Katie Smith: Oh my god! Danny Domino, what are you doing?! Somebody get some help!
[The camera captures Domino’s face, twisted in anger and determination, as he continues his assault on All Star. Katie Smith backs away, horrified, as the commentators’ voices come through.]
Julian Fiasco: What the hell is Danny Domino doing?! This is an unprovoked attack on Johnny All Star!
Jeremiah Sloan: It looks like Domino is doing the dirty work for Blood Money, Julian! They want to soften up All Star before the big match at Roll the Dice!
[Security and officials rush in to pull Domino away, but not before he lands a few more brutal kicks to All Star’s ribs. Johnny All Star lies on the ground, writhing in pain as medical staff quickly surround him.]
Katie Smith: (breathless and shaken) This is absolutely despicable. Danny Domino has just assaulted Johnny All Star, leaving him in serious condition. We’ll have more updates on All Star’s status as they become available, but this…this is just unacceptable.
Julian Fiasco: Blood Money will stop at nothing to keep that sVo Championship around Moretti’s waist. But mark my words, Johnny All Star won’t take this lying down.
Jeremiah Sloan: The stakes just got even higher for Roll the Dice. We’ll see if All Star can recover in time to face Moretti and keep his career alive.
[The camera fades to black as the medical team continues to attend to Johnny All Star, and the show cuts to a commercial break.]

All In Hand
[The camera transitions to the office of sVo COO Amy Page. The room is stylishly decorated, reflecting the high-stakes world of professional wrestling. Amy Page sits behind her desk, going over some paperwork when the door bursts open, and Rick Reid strides in, looking determined and agitated.]
Rick Reid: Amy, where are the Dogs of War? I need to find them now!
[Amy Page looks up from her desk, slightly annoyed by the interruption but maintaining her composure.]
Amy Page: Rick, I gave the Dogs of War the night off. Things have been getting out of hand, and I needed them to cool down. But more importantly, have you found a tag team partner for the Countdown to Violence PPV yet?
[Rick Reid’s expression shifts from frustration to a confident smirk as he approaches her desk.]
Rick Reid: Don’t worry about that, Amy. I will find someone before the PPV. I don’t care if I have to drag them out of the locker room myself. I am going to get my hands on the Dogs of War, and when I do, they are going to regret crossing me.
[Amy Page leans back in her chair, assessing Reid’s determination. She nods slowly, acknowledging his resolve.]
Amy Page: Good. Because I’m holding you to that. The chaos needs to be reined in, and I’m trusting you to take care of it. But remember, this is a tag team match. You need someone you can rely on out there, someone who can hold their own against the Dogs of War. Choose wisely, Rick.
[Rick Reid gives a confident nod, turning to leave the office. As he reaches the door, he pauses and looks back at Amy.]
Rick Reid: Trust me, Amy. I know exactly what I’m doing.
[With that, Rick Reid exits the office, leaving Amy Page to watch him go, a mix of concern and hope on her face.]
Amy Page: (muttering to herself) For your sake, Rick, I hope you do.
[The camera zooms out, showing Amy Page returning to her paperwork, the tension in the air palpable as the scene fades to black.]

Associate
[The camera cuts to the bustling backstage area of the Goodfellas Casino Arena. Katie Smith, microphone in hand, confidently strides toward the locker room of Blood Money. She hesitates for a moment, then knocks on the door. After a few seconds, the door opens, revealing Joe Barone, who nods for her to come in. The camera follows Katie into the room, where Anthony Moretti, Junior Gambino, and Nicky Columbo are lounging, looking relaxed and confident.]
Katie Smith: Anthony, Junior, Nicky, thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I wanted to ask about the attack on Johnny All Star earlier tonight. Was Blood Money behind Danny Domino’s actions?
[Anthony Moretti, wearing a smug grin, sits up and motions for Katie to come closer. The rest of Blood Money smirks as Moretti leans forward, exuding confidence.]
Anthony Moretti: Katie, Katie, Katie… Danny Domino is an associate of ours, sure. But he’s a man who works of his own free will. If he decided to give Johnny All Star a little taste of reality, that’s on him.
[Moretti’s smirk widens, and he leans back in his chair, clearly enjoying the implication of his words.]
Katie Smith: So you’re saying Blood Money had no direct involvement in the attack?
Anthony Moretti: (chuckling) I’m saying that Danny Domino knows what needs to be done to make a statement around here. But let’s not dwell on that. What I’d rather talk about is the future—specifically, Junior Gambino and Nicky Columbo’s future as the number one contenders for the sVo Tag Team Championships.
[Junior Gambino and Nicky Columbo share a confident nod, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.]
Anthony Moretti: Tonight, Gambino and Columbo are going to face the Sin City Scoundrels, and mark my words, they will come out on top. Generation Joint has been riding high for too long, and it’s time for them to face real competition. My boys here are going to show the world why Blood Money is the most dominant force in sVo.
[Katie nods, taking in Moretti’s words before turning her attention to Gambino and Columbo.]
Katie Smith: Junior, Nicky, how do you feel about your match tonight and the prospect of challenging for the Tag Team Championships?
Junior Gambino: (grinning) Katie, tonight is just a formality. The Sin City Scoundrels? They’re just a stepping stone. We’ve got our sights set on Generation Joint, and once we get through tonight, those Tag Team titles are as good as ours.
Nicky Columbo: (nodding) We’ve been biding our time, waiting for the right moment. Tonight, we prove why we’re the best tag team in this company. Generation Joint better watch their backs, because Blood Money is coming for those titles.
[Katie Smith nods again, clearly understanding the confidence and determination radiating from the group.]
Katie Smith: Well, thank you for your time. It sounds like tonight is going to be a big night for Blood Money.
[Moretti gives her a dismissive wave as she steps back toward the door.]
Anthony Moretti: You can count on it, Katie. Blood Money always delivers.
[With that, Katie exits the locker room, leaving Blood Money to their preparations as the scene fades out.]

Facing the Unstoppable Monster
[The scene shifts to the backstage interview area, where Katie Smith stands ready with a microphone. She smiles at the camera before turning her attention to Alex Sterling, who is known as the ‘LA Luminary’ and is a noted film buff. Sterling steps into frame, looking confident and ready for the night’s main event.]
Katie Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the ‘LA Luminary’ Alex Sterling. Alex, tonight you face the destructive masked superstar Nightmare in the main event. How are you feeling about stepping into the ring with someone as dangerous as Nightmare?
[Alex Sterling adjusts his jacket and gives a confident smile before responding.]
Alex Sterling: Katie, this is like a scene straight out of a classic horror film. You know, the kind where the unstoppable monster keeps coming, no matter what you throw at it. But here’s the thing about those movies—the hero always finds a way. Whether it’s Laurie Strode taking down Michael Myers in “Halloween” or Ripley facing off against the Xenomorph in “Alien,” the hero digs deep and finds a way to survive.
[Sterling’s eyes gleam with determination as he continues.]
Alex Sterling: Tonight, I step into that ring with Nightmare, and I fully intend to be the hero of this story. Sure, he’s been cutting a path through the roster, leaving chaos in his wake. But every monster has its weakness, and I’m ready to find his.
Katie Smith: Alex, you’ve also been vocal about Night, Nightmare’s brother. What are your thoughts on him not stepping up to stop Nightmare’s rampage?
Alex Sterling: (shaking his head) Night’s behavior reminds me of the cowardly sidekick who lets the villain run wild without lifting a finger to stop them. It’s like in “The Dark Knight Rises,” when Gotham’s citizens waited for Batman to come back while Bane took over the city. Night should be standing up to his brother, putting an end to this madness. Instead, he’s hiding in the shadows, and that makes him just as responsible for the chaos.
[Sterling’s expression hardens as he looks directly into the camera.]
Alex Sterling: Night, if you’re watching this, remember that heroes don’t hide. They stand up and face the darkness. Tonight, I’m going to step into that ring and show you how it’s done. Maybe it’ll remind you of what it means to be a true competitor, not just a shadow lurking in the background.
Katie Smith: Strong words, Alex. Any final thoughts before your big match tonight?
Alex Sterling: Just one, Katie. In every great film, the climax is where the hero rises above the odds and triumphs. Tonight, the Goodfellas Casino Arena is my stage, and Nightmare is my final boss. It’s time to roll the credits on his reign of terror.
[Katie nods, clearly impressed with Sterling’s confidence.]
Katie Smith: Thank you, Alex. Good luck out there tonight.
[The camera lingers on Sterling’s determined face as he walks off, ready for the main event. The scene then fades out.]

Personal Enforcer?
[The scene shifts to the backstage area where Kenneth D Williams is seen walking alone, a rare sight without his Generation Joint teammates. The hallway is quiet, but the tension in the air is palpable as the camera follows Williams.]
[Suddenly, from around a corner, Danny Domino charges in, blindsiding Kenneth D Williams with a vicious attack. Williams is caught completely off guard and crashes to the ground as Domino starts laying into him with brutal punches and kicks.]
Danny Domino: (snarling) This is what happens when you mess with Blood Money!
[Williams tries to shield himself from the relentless assault, but Domino shows no mercy, delivering a series of devastating stomps. The noise of the attack echoes through the hallway, drawing the attention of others.]
[Just as it seems like Williams might not be able to fend off the onslaught, the rest of Generation Joint—Jay Adder, Jacob Izaz, and Gunner Lang—come rushing into the scene. Their presence is met with a roar of approval from the nearby crew members.]
Jay Adder: (shouting) Hey! Get off him, Domino!
[Izaz and Lang move quickly to pull Domino away from Williams, who is clearly hurt but trying to get back on his feet. Domino takes a few steps back, raising his hands in a mock display of innocence, smirking all the while.]
Danny Domino: (smirking) Just sending a message. You better watch your backs.
[With that, Domino turns and makes a hasty retreat down the hallway, disappearing around a corner. The Generation Joint members turn their attention to their fallen comrade, helping Williams to his feet and checking on his condition.]
Jacob Izaz: (concerned) You okay, Kenneth?
Kenneth D Williams: (wincing) Yeah, I’ll be fine. Just caught me off guard.
Gunner Lang: (angry) Domino’s out of control. We need to put a stop to this.
[As they help Williams, the camera cuts back to the commentators, Julian Fiasco and Jeremiah Sloan, who are providing their thoughts on the situation.]
Julian Fiasco: Unbelievable! Danny Domino strikes again, this time targeting Kenneth D Williams. It seems like Domino has become Anthony Moretti’s personal enforcer, taking out anyone who poses a threat to Blood Money.
Jeremiah Sloan: Absolutely, Julian. Domino has clearly aligned himself with Moretti’s interests, and it’s obvious that he’s been tasked with eliminating any potential challengers. Generation Joint needs to watch their backs more than ever now.
Julian Fiasco: If this is the kind of chaos we’re seeing backstage, just imagine what’s going to happen in the ring tonight. Things are heating up here in the sVo, and you don’t want to miss a second of it!
[The scene fades out as the camera captures Generation Joint helping Williams down the hallway, determined expressions on their faces as they plot their next move against the rising threat of Danny Domino and Blood Money.]

The Reign of Terror Continues
[The camera returns to the ring where Nightmare stands victorious over Alex Sterling, who lies battered and beaten on the mat after a brutal match. The crowd is buzzing with a mix of boos and anxious murmurs as Nightmare picks up a microphone, his expression dark and menacing.]
Nightmare: (breathing heavily, glaring at the fallen Sterling) You thought you could stand against me? You’re just another victim, another name on the list.
[Nightmare suddenly starts kicking Sterling again, delivering savage stomps to his already bruised body. The fans boo loudly, but Nightmare is unfazed, his eyes filled with malice as he continues the assault.]
Julian Fiasco: This is absolutely uncalled for! Nightmare has already won the match, and now he’s just brutalizing Alex Sterling!
Jeremiah Sloan: Someone needs to put a stop to this! This is beyond sportsmanship, it’s a message to his brother Night!
[Nightmare finally stops, breathing heavily as he looks down at the broken body of Alex Sterling. He raises the microphone to his mouth, speaking in Japanese with a tone that drips with menace.]
Nightmare: (in Japanese) スターリングもお前の意識に刻まれた。どれだけの血が流れれば、お前は出てくるのか？どれだけの命が壊されれば、お前は目を覚ますのか？
[The English translation appears on the screen for the viewers at home: “Sterling is now on your conscience too. How much blood needs to be spilled before you come out? How many lives need to be ruined before you wake up?”]
[Nightmare drops the microphone with a final, contemptuous glance at Sterling. He raises his arms in a display of dominance, his intense glare never wavering as the boos from the crowd grow louder.]
Julian Fiasco: This is a direct challenge to Night! Nightmare is making it clear that he will continue this path of destruction until Night steps up to face him.
Jeremiah Sloan: The question is, how long can Night stay away? How many more will suffer before he decides to confront his brother?
[The camera captures Nightmare standing tall over Sterling, the arena filled with the echoes of booing fans and the sight of pure devastation in the ring. The screen fades to black, leaving the audience with the chilling image of Nightmare’s ruthless determination.]
Julian Fiasco: Ladies and gentlemen, we are out of time, but the message has been sent loud and clear. Join us next time as the fallout from tonight’s events continues to unfold.
Jeremiah Sloan: Goodnight from sVo Showdown. Stay safe, everyone.
[The sVo logo flashes on the screen, and the show goes off the air, leaving viewers with the haunting reminder of Nightmare’s reign of terror.]
