Eyes on the Jackpot
The camera cuts to the backstage interview area, where Katie Smith stands with a bright smile, microphone in hand. The backdrop behind her is adorned with the sVo logo, and the faint sounds of the arena crowd can be heard in the background. Standing next to her, dressed in his signature denim vest, cowboy hat, and boots, is the rugged fan favorite, “The Modern Day Cowboy” Bronson Martinez. His expression is a mix of determination and excitement as he prepares for his upcoming match.
Katie Smith: (with enthusiasm) Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, “The Modern Day Cowboy,” Bronson Martinez! Bronson, you’ve got a big night ahead of you as you’re set to face “Python” Noah Rogan in singles action. But that’s not all—this Sunday at the Jackpot PPV, you’ll be one of thirty men competing in the battle royal for a shot at the sVo Championship. How are you feeling heading into tonight’s match, and what’s your mindset looking ahead to Sunday?
Bronson adjusts his hat and smiles warmly at Katie, his confidence shining through as he addresses the camera.
Bronson Martinez: (with a slight Southern drawl) Well, Katie, I’ve got a lot on my plate this week, and that’s just the way I like it. Tonight, I’m stepping into the ring with Noah Rogan, a guy who’s as dangerous as they come. They don’t call him Python for nothin’—he’s got a grip that’ll choke the life outta ya if you’re not careful. But I ain’t about to let him coil around me without a fight. I’m bringin’ everything I’ve got tonight, and by the time the dust settles, ol’ Python’s gonna know why they call me the Modern Day Cowboy.
Katie nods, impressed by Bronson’s confidence. She leans in slightly, eager to hear more about his thoughts on the upcoming battle royal.
Katie Smith: (curiously) It’s clear you’re focused on tonight, but I’ve got to ask about the battle royal this Sunday at the Jackpot PPV. With 29 other competitors gunning for that sVo Championship shot, what’s your strategy going into such a high-stakes match?
Bronson’s expression becomes more serious as he considers the challenge ahead. He takes a deep breath, the weight of the upcoming battle royal clearly on his mind.
Bronson Martinez: (thoughtfully) You know, Katie, the battle royal is a different beast altogether. It’s a brawl, plain and simple—every man for himself. And with thirty hungry competitors all eyein’ that sVo Championship shot, it’s gonna be chaos in that ring. But I’ve been in my fair share of bar fights, rodeos, and every kind of scrap you can imagine. I’ve learned to stand my ground, keep my head on a swivel, and never back down from a challenge.
He pauses, his eyes narrowing with determination as he continues.
Bronson Martinez: (with intensity) My strategy’s simple: stay true to who I am. I’m gonna fight like hell, take down anyone who gets in my way, and when it’s all said and done, I plan on standing tall in the middle of that ring with my hand raised high. I’ve got my sights set on that sVo Championship, and I’m gonna do whatever it takes to get there—no matter how many men I’ve gotta toss over that top rope.
Katie smiles, clearly impressed by Bronson’s resolve. She steps back, giving him the floor to send a final message to his opponents.
Katie Smith: (smiling) Sounds like you’re ready for anything, Bronson. Any final words for Noah Rogan tonight and your fellow competitors at Jackpot?
Bronson tips his hat to Katie and looks directly into the camera, his voice filled with determination.
Bronson Martinez: (confidently) Noah Rogan, you better be ready for a fight tonight, ‘cause I ain’t goin’ down easy. And to everyone in that battle royal this Sunday, just know one thing—I’m comin’ for that title shot, and I won’t stop till I get it. So saddle up, boys, because the Modern Day Cowboy is ridin’ into Jackpot, and I’m fixin’ to make history.
With that, Bronson Martinez gives Katie a respectful nod before turning and heading off towards the ring. The camera lingers on Katie, who watches him go with a smile before turning back to address the audience.
Katie Smith: (to the camera) There you have it, folks! Bronson Martinez is locked and loaded for tonight’s match and the Jackpot PPV this Sunday. Don’t miss it!
The camera cuts back to the arena, where the crowd is buzzing with excitement for the upcoming match.

Ready to win the War
The scene shifts to the bustling backstage area of the Goodfellas Casino Arena. Katie Smith, standing confidently with a microphone in hand, is joined by the popular Canadian sensation, Dylan MacLeod. The camera zooms in on the two, the energy in the room palpable as the main event draws near. Dylan, dressed in his ring gear and a maple leaf-emblazoned jacket, exudes determination and focus. The crowd’s cheers can be heard faintly from the arena, signaling their support for MacLeod.
Katie Smith: (with enthusiasm) Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with one of sVo’s brightest stars, Dylan MacLeod! Dylan, tonight you face off against Puck in our main event, a crucial match in your ongoing battle against the Canadian Connection. You’ve had your hands full with Puck, Ali Young, Jake Hughes, and Scott Cole, but you’ve never backed down. How are you feeling heading into this matchup?
Dylan MacLeod, his eyes full of intensity, takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere before responding. He nods at Katie, his voice steady and confident.
Dylan MacLeod: (firmly) Katie, I’ve been through a lot since this war with the Canadian Connection started. They’ve thrown everything they’ve got at me—cheap shots, sneak attacks, and plenty of underhanded tactics. But every time they knock me down, I get back up stronger. Tonight, Puck’s got the spotlight, and he’s gonna find out firsthand that I’m not just another name on their hit list. I’m the man who’s gonna put an end to their reign of terror.
Katie nods, clearly impressed by Dylan’s unwavering determination. She leans in slightly, curious to know how he plans to approach both tonight’s match and the upcoming battle royal.
Katie Smith: (inquiring) Your resilience has certainly earned you the respect of the fans, Dylan. But with the Canadian Connection always lurking around, how do you plan to stay focused on Puck tonight and then shift your attention to the battle royal this Sunday at Jackpot?
Dylan pauses for a moment, considering the challenge that lies ahead. His expression hardens as he thinks about the Canadian Connection and what’s at stake in the days to come.
Dylan MacLeod: (with resolve) Katie, I know what the Canadian Connection is capable of. They’re always looking for an advantage, always trying to stack the deck in their favor. But I’ve got my eyes wide open. Tonight, it’s about making a statement. Puck may think he’s got the upper hand, but I’ve been in this business long enough to know that it’s not about who hits first—it’s about who hits hardest and who stands tall at the end. And when it comes to the battle royal at Jackpot, I’m gonna take everything I’ve learned from this war and use it to outlast every single one of those 29 other men.
His voice grows more intense, his passion for the fight shining through.
Dylan MacLeod: (with passion) This isn’t just about winning a match or a battle royal. It’s about proving that no matter how tough the odds, no matter how many times they try to knock me down, I will always get back up. The Canadian Connection has tried to break me, but they’ve only made me stronger. And come Sunday, when I step into that battle royal, I’m gonna fight like hell to earn that sVo Championship shot—not just for me, but for everyone who’s had to stand up to bullies like them.
Katie smiles, clearly moved by Dylan’s fighting spirit. She gives him a nod of respect before offering him the chance to send a final message to both Puck and the rest of the Canadian Connection.
Katie Smith: (smiling) Dylan, you’ve got the heart of a champion, and I know the fans are behind you 100%. Any final words for Puck tonight and for your opponents in the battle royal at Jackpot?
Dylan turns to face the camera directly, his expression serious and full of fire. He speaks with conviction, addressing both Puck and the entire Canadian Connection.
Dylan MacLeod: (with determination) Puck, you better be ready for the fight of your life tonight, because I’m bringing everything I’ve got. And to the rest of the Canadian Connection—Ali Young, Jake Hughes, Scott Cole—you might think you’ve got me cornered, but I’m not going down without a fight. This Sunday, in that battle royal, I’m not just fighting for myself. I’m fighting for every single person who’s had enough of your garbage. And when I throw the last man over that top rope, it’s gonna be the beginning of the end for the Canadian Connection. I’ll see you all at Jackpot—get ready to watch me rise.
With that, Dylan MacLeod gives Katie a nod and heads off towards the ring, his focus unwavering. The camera lingers on Katie for a moment, her expression one of admiration, before she turns back to the audience.
Katie Smith: (to the camera) Dylan MacLeod is fired up and ready to go, folks! The main event against Puck is just moments away, and you won’t want to miss it! And don’t forget, the Jackpot PPV is this Sunday—who will come out on top in the battle royal? Tune in to find out!

Main Event
Puck vs. Dylan MacLeod
Ringside
A Canadian Jackpot?
The match between Puck and Dylan MacLeod has just concluded, with Puck securing a hard-fought victory. The crowd in the Goodfellas Casino Arena is on their feet, booing loudly as Puck stands tall over the fallen Dylan MacLeod. The boos intensify as the rest of the Canadian Connection—Ali Young, Jake Hughes, and Scott Cole—make their way down the ramp, joining Puck in the ring. The four men stand united, their faces filled with smug satisfaction as they surround Dylan, who is struggling to get back on his feet.
Julian Fiasco and Jeremiah Sloan provide commentary as the scene unfolds.
Julian Fiasco: (with concern) This is an absolutely despicable display by the Canadian Connection! Dylan MacLeod fought his heart out, but now he’s at the mercy of these vultures!
Jeremiah Sloan: (gravely) And with the Jackpot battle royal just days away, this is a clear message from the Canadian Connection. If they stick together, they could be unstoppable on Sunday!
Puck, still catching his breath from the grueling match, looks down at Dylan with contempt. He signals to his teammates, and they close in, each taking a position around the fallen Canadian hero. The crowd’s boos grow even louder, nearly drowning out the commentary.
Julian Fiasco: (angrily) Come on, this is too much! Dylan MacLeod doesn’t deserve this—he’s already been through hell tonight!
Ali Young grabs a microphone, and the crowd’s jeers only increase as he begins to speak, his voice dripping with arrogance.
Ali Young: (mockingly) Las Vegas, take a good look at what happens when you cross the Canadian Connection! Dylan MacLeod thought he could stand up to us—he thought he could fight us off on his own. But what you see before you is the reality. We are stronger, we are smarter, and we are united!
The crowd erupts in boos, but Ali simply smirks, undeterred by the hostile reaction. Puck takes the microphone from Ali, his tone equally condescending.
Puck: (coldly) Dylan, you may be tough, but toughness only gets you so far when you’re up against true power. And that’s exactly what we are. The Canadian Connection isn’t just a group—we’re a force. And come Sunday at the Jackpot battle royal, we’re going to prove it to everyone in the sVo.
Puck pauses, allowing the weight of his words to sink in. Dylan, still on the mat, glares up at Puck with defiance in his eyes, but he’s clearly outnumbered and exhausted. Scott Cole steps forward, his presence menacing as he adds to the ominous threat.
Scott Cole: (confidently) The battle royal is just the beginning. We’re going to eliminate anyone who stands in our way. And once we’ve thrown every last one of those so-called competitors over the top rope, the Canadian Connection will be in line for the sVo Championship. There’s nothing anyone can do to stop us.
The boos from the crowd reach a fever pitch, but the Canadian Connection remains unfazed. They continue to stand over Dylan, who struggles to pull himself up using the ropes. Jake Hughes, the powerhouse of the group, grabs the microphone next, his deep voice resonating throughout the arena.
Jake Hughes: (menacingly) If there’s anyone in the back who thinks they’ve got a chance against us this Sunday, take a good look at Dylan MacLeod. He’s just the first of many who’ll fall at our feet. The Canadian Connection is here to dominate, and we’ll tear through anyone who tries to stop us.
The crowd’s fury is palpable, but the Canadian Connection seems to thrive off the negative energy. Puck tosses the microphone aside, and the group moves in on Dylan as if they’re about to attack again, but suddenly, the lights flicker. The crowd gasps, unsure of what’s happening. The tension in the arena skyrockets as everyone anticipates what might come next.
Julian Fiasco: (excitedly) Wait a minute! What’s going on here? Could this be a sign of things to come?
Jeremiah Sloan: (with urgency) We’ve seen strange things like this before. Is someone about to make a statement? Is there anyone left to come to Dylan’s aid?
The lights return to normal, and the Canadian Connection hesitates, glancing around the arena, as if expecting an ambush. But no one comes out, leaving the group smirking, assuming they’ve scared off any potential threats. They slowly back away from Dylan, leaving him in the ring as they exit, confident and arrogant, knowing they’ve sent a clear message.
The camera focuses on Dylan, who finally makes it to his feet, holding his ribs but staring defiantly up the ramp at the Canadian Connection. The crowd rallies behind him, cheering him on despite the odds. As the Canadian Connection reaches the top of the ramp, they turn back to the ring, raising their arms in victory as if to signal that they’ll be the last ones standing this Sunday.
Julian Fiasco: (with passion) Dylan MacLeod may be down, but he’s far from out! And if I know Dylan, he’s not going to back down from this fight—not tonight, and not at Jackpot!
Jeremiah Sloan: (determinedly) The Canadian Connection may think they’ve got the upper hand, but the battle royal is unpredictable! Anything can happen, and you can bet Dylan MacLeod is going to give it everything he’s got!
The show closes with a split screen—the Canadian Connection arrogantly walking backstage and Dylan MacLeod standing tall in the ring, refusing to be broken. The commentators remind the viewers of the stakes this Sunday at the Jackpot PPV, urging them to tune in and witness what promises to be an explosive and unpredictable battle royal.
Julian Fiasco: (with excitement) Folks, this Sunday at Jackpot, thirty men will enter, but only one will walk away with a shot at the sVo Championship! You won’t want to miss it!
Jeremiah Sloan: (building anticipation) And don’t forget, anything can happen! Surprises, alliances, betrayals—this is what the sVo is all about! See you at Jackpot!
The screen fades to black as the sVo logo appears, leaving the crowd buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming PPV.
