[The match between Dylan MacLeod and Dallas Jordan has just reached its time limit, and the bell rings to signal the end. The crowd is on their feet, booing the inconclusive result, clearly wanting more from the young Canadian and the patriotic American heel.]
Julian Fiasco: “What a match, but the time limit has expired! It’s a draw, and these fans are not happy about it!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “Neither is Dylan MacLeod or Dallas Jordan! Look at the frustration on their faces!”
[In the ring, Dylan MacLeod and Dallas Jordan both glare at each other, hands on their hips, clearly unhappy with the outcome. The crowd’s boos grow louder, filling the Goodfellas Casino Arena with a chorus of displeasure. Dallas Jordan, ever the antagonist, sneers at the audience before raising a fist defiantly.]
Dallas Jordan: “This is America, baby! We don’t do draws! We win!”
[He turns and waves to the ringside area, summoning his Patriot Act teammates Travis Armstrong and Lance Abbott. The two muscular men slide into the ring to join Dallas Jordan. The crowd’s boos reach a fever pitch as they sense what’s coming next.]
Julian Fiasco: “Oh no, here comes the Patriot Act! This can’t be good for Dylan MacLeod!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “The Patriot Act never plays fair, and it looks like they’re about to send a message!”
[Travis Armstrong and Lance Abbott waste no time, immediately laying into Dylan MacLeod with a vicious assault. Dallas Jordan joins in, and the three men stomp and pummel MacLeod relentlessly. The boos from the crowd grow deafening as they witness the brutal beatdown.]
Julian Fiasco: “This is a three-on-one mugging! Someone needs to stop this!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “Dylan MacLeod is being dismantled by the Patriot Act! Where’s the help?”
[Dylan MacLeod tries to fight back, but the numbers game is too much. Dallas Jordan lifts him up, and with the help of Armstrong and Abbott, they execute a devastating triple team move, leaving MacLeod writhing in pain on the mat. The fans are in an uproar, their boos echoing throughout the arena.]
Julian Fiasco: “This is despicable! Dylan MacLeod doesn’t deserve this!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “The Patriot Act is sending a message to everyone in sVo: they play by their own rules, and they’ll take out anyone who stands in their way!”
[Dallas Jordan grabs a microphone, standing over the fallen Dylan MacLeod. He points a finger at the young Canadian, his voice dripping with contempt.]
Dallas Jordan: “Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks they can hang with us! The Patriot Act is here to dominate, and there’s nothing any of you can do about it!”
[The boos from the crowd grow even louder, but the Patriot Act stands tall in the ring, proud of their handiwork. They leave the ring, walking up the ramp with smug expressions, as medical personnel rush in to check on Dylan MacLeod.]
Julian Fiasco: “An absolutely disgraceful display from the Patriot Act, but you can bet Dylan MacLeod will be looking for payback!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “That’s right, Julian. This war is far from over, and I have a feeling Dylan MacLeod is just getting started!”
[The camera lingers on the fallen Dylan MacLeod, the crowd’s boos still echoing, before fading to black to close out the show.]

A Different Path
[Backstage, Dylan MacLeod sits on a medical table, wincing as a trainer tends to his bruises and cuts from the earlier brutal assault by Patriot Act. The room is filled with the low hum of medical equipment and the soft murmur of concerned voices.]
Trainer: “Take it easy, Dylan. You’ve got some nasty bruises, but nothing’s broken. You’ll be alright.”
[Dylan nods, his face etched with pain and frustration. Just then, the door swings open, and in walks Ali Young, followed by her Canadian Connection teammates, Jake Hughes and Scott Cole. They stride in with a confident swagger, their expressions a mix of smugness and concern.]
Ali Young: “Well, well, well. Look what we have here.”
[Dylan looks up, his eyes narrowing as he sees the Canadian Connection approaching.]
Dylan MacLeod: “What do you want?”
[Ali Young crosses her arms, a smirk playing on her lips.]
Ali Young: “We just came to check on you, Dylan. You took quite the beating out there.”
[Jake Hughes and Scott Cole exchange glances, nodding in agreement.]
Jake Hughes: “Yeah, man. Looked pretty rough. Couldn’t help but notice you didn’t have any backup.”
[Dylan’s jaw tightens, but he remains silent, knowing where this conversation is heading.]
Ali Young: “You know, if you had made a different choice last week, you wouldn’t be in this mess. We offered you a spot with the Canadian Connection, and you turned us down.”
[Scott Cole steps forward, leaning in slightly.]
Scott Cole: “If you’d joined us, you would’ve had some backup out there. The Patriot Act wouldn’t have dared to pull something like that.”
[Dylan glares at them, his pride wounded as much as his body.]
Dylan MacLeod: “I told you, I want to make my own path. I don’t need anyone’s help.”
[Ali Young chuckles softly, shaking her head.]
Ali Young: “Suit yourself, Dylan. But remember this moment. Remember the pain, the helplessness. Next time you find yourself in trouble, just know it could have been different.”
[The Canadian Connection turns to leave, but Ali pauses at the door, looking back over her shoulder.]
Ali Young: “Think about it, Dylan. We’re still here if you change your mind. But don’t wait too long. In this business, you either stand with a team or fall alone.”
[With that, Ali Young and her teammates exit the room, leaving Dylan alone with his thoughts and the dull ache of his injuries. The camera lingers on his conflicted expression as the scene fades out.]
[The scene fades to black, the tension in the air palpable as the ramifications of Dylan’s decision sink in.]

Proving Her Wrong
[Backstage, Katie Smith stands in the well-lit interview area, holding a microphone. The sVo backdrop behind her sets the stage. Standing beside her is ‘the Underdog’ Ricky Johnson, looking determined and ready for the upcoming match.]
Katie Smith: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, ‘the Underdog’ Ricky Johnson.”
[The camera zooms out slightly to capture Ricky’s intense expression. He nods in acknowledgment as the fans’ cheers can be faintly heard in the background.]
Katie Smith: “Ricky, a few weeks ago, you faced Jupiter James and unfortunately came up short. Tonight, you’ve asked for a rematch. Can you tell us why?”
[Ricky takes a deep breath, his eyes focused and unwavering.]
Ricky Johnson: “Katie, it’s simple. When I faced Jupiter James last time, I gave it my all. She beat me fair and square, but what happened after the match stuck with me. I offered her a handshake, a sign of respect, but she shrugged me off and walked away.”
[Katie nods, the memory of the moment clearly resonating with the fans as well.]
Katie Smith: “That moment did surprise a lot of people, considering Jupiter’s previous reputation as a fan favorite. Her recent change in attitude has been a topic of discussion. How do you feel about it?”
[Ricky’s expression hardens, his determination clear.]
Ricky Johnson: “It’s disappointing, Katie. Jupiter used to be someone the fans could look up to, someone I looked up to. But now, she’s changed. She thinks that winning at any cost, even if it means turning her back on the fans and her opponents, is the way to go. Well, I’m here to show her that she’s wrong.”
[Katie tilts her head, intrigued by Ricky’s resolve.]
Katie Smith: “So, this rematch is about more than just a win for you?”
[Ricky nods emphatically.]
Ricky Johnson: “Absolutely. I want to prove to Jupiter and to everyone watching that respect and integrity still matter in this business. You don’t have to change who you are to get to the top. Tonight, I’m going to give it my all again, and win or lose, I’m going to make sure Jupiter understands that her recent attitude isn’t going to get her anywhere in the sVo.”
[Katie smiles, clearly impressed by Ricky’s conviction.]
Katie Smith: “Thank you, Ricky. We wish you the best of luck in your match tonight.”
[Ricky nods and walks off, his determination evident in every step. The camera focuses back on Katie as she addresses the audience.]
Katie Smith: “There you have it, folks. ‘The Underdog’ Ricky Johnson, ready to prove that respect and integrity can still lead to victory. Don’t miss his rematch against Jupiter James, coming up later tonight.”
[The camera fades to black, leaving the audience eagerly anticipating the showdown.]

Attitude Adjustment
[The arena is filled with boos as Jupiter James stands triumphantly in the ring, having just defeated Ricky Johnson for the second time. Her music blares through the speakers, but the crowd’s disapproval is louder. Ricky Johnson, bruised and battered, slowly gets to his feet and once again offers his hand to Jupiter in a show of sportsmanship.]
Julian Fiasco: “What a match, but Ricky Johnson showing his class yet again, offering that handshake to Jupiter James.”
Jeremiah Sloan: “Ricky Johnson is all about respect, Julian. Let’s see if Jupiter’s attitude has changed at all.”
[Jupiter looks down at Ricky’s outstretched hand, smirking. Instead of accepting it, she slaps his hand away, eliciting more boos from the crowd. Ricky, taken aback, tries to stand tall, but Jupiter quickly kicks him in the gut and starts stomping on him relentlessly.]
Julian Fiasco: “Come on, this is uncalled for! Jupiter James has already won the match!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “This is disgusting behavior, Julian. Ricky Johnson deserves better than this!”
[The crowd’s boos grow louder as Jupiter continues her vicious attack on Ricky. Just when it seems like no one will come to his aid, the veteran hometown hero CJ Dreamer’s music hits, and the crowd erupts in cheers. CJ Dreamer rushes down to the ring, sliding under the ropes and going straight for Jupiter.]
Julian Fiasco: “Here comes CJ Dreamer! The hometown hero is here to save the day!”
Jeremiah Sloan: “And not a moment too soon! Ricky Johnson needs help!”
[Jupiter, seeing Dreamer coming, quickly retreats, rolling out of the ring and backing up the ramp with a mocking laugh. Dreamer checks on Ricky, helping him to his feet, while glaring at Jupiter, who stands at the top of the ramp, still laughing.]
Julian Fiasco: “CJ Dreamer making the save, but Jupiter James is clearly enjoying this. What has gotten into her?”
Jeremiah Sloan: “I don’t know, Julian, but she’s turned her back on the fans and her fellow competitors. This is a side of Jupiter James we haven’t seen before, and it’s not a pretty one.”
[As the camera focuses on Jupiter’s mocking laughter, the show’s theme music begins to play. The final shot is of Dreamer standing protectively over Ricky, pointing and shouting at Jupiter, who continues to smirk and laugh as she backs away.]
Julian Fiasco: “Ladies and gentlemen, what a night it has been here at sVo Proving Grounds 38. But it looks like this issue between Ricky Johnson, CJ Dreamer, and Jupiter James is far from over.”
Jeremiah Sloan: “That’s right, Julian. We’ll see you all next week, but for now, goodnight from the Goodfellas Casino Arena in Las Vegas!”
[The screen fades to black as the sVo logo appears, signaling the end of the broadcast.]
