He tries to lock up with her, but she ducks under his grab and kicks him in the back to force him into the ropes. Kelly unleashed punch after punch to the face while he’s cornered and whips him into the opposing ropes for a shoulder block. She then drops an elbow to the chest, knocking the wind out of him. Kelly then sits him up and kicks him into a sort of triangle hold, putting the arm around her side to bend it at an odd angle. Aries struggles to escape, letting out a wail as Kelly starts to bend his fingers. She eventually slams a boot down against the chest for added measure before releasing him. Indigo looks to inflict more damage with another submission, but Aries rolls through as she grabs the arm and chops her back.

Allysin kicks out at one. Indigo follows up with multiple forearms, running the ropes for a clothesline, but Allysin gets the kick gains the temple and sets her up for the AK-47 to claim the win.

 

Davey Richards runs in from behind to attack Kay. He consistently kicks the legs to bring her down before getting the dropkick to the chest for the pin. He hooks both legs, but she powers out.

Kay then yanks Davey up for the AK-47 to put him away.

 

Pillman makes his entrance, but he doesn’t get far before Balor strikes him down with a steel chair. Frustrated from his lost tonight and revenge for their match last week, Balor slams the chair repeatedly into the back as security races out to stop the chaos. Allysin looks on as Brian is being examined, but he shoves the medics away, stumbling towards the ring. Kay watches him roll in and the bell rings, but she doesn’t move.

Kay follows up with a snapmare and rebounds off the ropes for a big boot. He ducks and rolls her up for a shocking three count. Kay is somewhat stunned as Pillman uses the time to recover.

 

As she exits the ring, Candice is next to last for this match. The woman climbs in, stalking Brian as he tries to stand. The attack from earlier was only worsened by the match with Kay and Cornell picks him apart with stomps to the back. She has him up and slings him into the corner for multiple kicks to the abdomen before shoving the boot into the neck to choke him. She backs off at the count of three and Pillman uses the corner to kick her back her hard to the mat. Brian connects with multiple clotheslines. He follows up with a twisting neckbreaker as he charges her and hooks the leg for a two count. He has her up and gets the fireman’s carry, but Cornell takes the eyes and capitalizes with a DDT. While he’s down, Cornell taunts the crowd and waves to the fans, blowing them kisses. Pillman crawls to the ropes and she races in for the dropkick, but he rolls out the way in time. Cornell is caught in the ropes and Brian follows up with a running knee to knock her down to the mat. He hooks the leg, but Cornell still kicks out at two. Brian sets her up in a piledriver position, but Cornell uses her core strength to rise up and fight back. She gets the Frankensteiner before following up with a tilt-a-whirl arm drag. As Brian stands, he wildly swings a fist and she easily dodges it before connecting with a heel kick. Brian is stunned and Candice gets him down with a running bulldog before locking in the Lady Killer banana split hiplock. She strikes Brian’s face repeatedly until he finally succumbs and passes out from a stray shot to the temple.

 

Medical personnel continues to check on Brian as Cornell awaits the last entrant. Becky Lynch makes her way down last, looking all too confident as the last participant in the match. She slides into the ring and gets directly in Candice’s face. Cornell tries to slap her and Lynch grabs the arm, looking for the submission. Cornell quickly escapes to the ropes, forcing the break. She glares as Lynch backs up, inviting Candice to stand up and fight. The singer gets to her feet and Lynch charges in, eating a forearm from Cornell. Candice continues to lay in the strikes before rebounding off the ropes with a dropkick to send her down. As Lynch tries to stand, Cornell kicks the side of the head to stun her and follows up with a swinging leg hook for the pin. Lynch kicks out at two. Cornell grabs the hair, feeling cocky as she whips her hair as Becky used to do and that costs her as Lynch chop blocks the back of the knee. As Candice is down, Becky connects with a dropkick to the side of the face. As Candice rolls into the corner, Becky charges in with a clothesline. She shoves Cornell to the mat and climbs high for the top rope leg drop to her opponent. Becky quickly hooks the leg for the pin. Cornell escapes at two, but Lynch immediately looks for the finisher again. Cornell instantly goes to the ropes to escape out of the ring.

 

Becky is after her on the apron, looking for a rolling senton, but Cornell sidesteps and she crashed to the floor. Cornell yanks her up by the hair and slams the face into the steel steps before driving a boot into the head, furthering connecting with the steps. Lynch looks completely out of it as Cornell sends her back in for the pin. Becky still manages to kick out. Cornell sits on the back and slaps the head around playfully, occasionally snatching at the red locks to taunt Becky before locking in the camel clutch. She wrenches hard on the chin, trying to make Lynch tap out, but the redhead eventually slips out of the hold and trips up the feet. She tries to recuperate in the ropes and Cornell whips her across the ring only for Lynch to take her down with a clothesline. As Candice stands, Becky kicks the abdomen and drops Cornell with a double undertook suplex. She drags Candice to the corner and starts the climb, but Cornell has the leg to slow her down. Becky kicks her off, but Cornell is still on her feet and meets her at the top. The two women trade strikes back and forth on the top and Lynch headbutts Candice for the advantage. She has Cornell in the cradled DDT position and drops the head to the mat from up high. The fans are overzealous with their chants, wanting the action to continue as Lynch recuperates.

 

Becky crawls to her opponent, grabbing the hair to force her up. She gets Candice on her shoulders, but Cornell elbows her way out of it and escapes to the ropes. Becky runs in and eats a superkick to the face before Cornell gets her from behind with a tilt-a-whirl hurricarana. Becky is sent flying and rolls onto the apron. Candice follows her, stepping out to chop the chest as Lynch stands. Becky wastes no time striking back and they trade blows until Becky tries for a piledriver. Cornell battles back, sending Lynch over with a backdrop onto the apron. Cornell quickly climbs the corner and leaps off with the double footstomp before both women drop to the floor. They were down and out as the referee starts the count. By five, Candice is up first and sends her back into the ring for a close two count. She has Becky up and looks to get the suplex, but Lynch remains grounded and looks to get the packaged pin before switching to the armbar. Cornell doesn’t tap, fighting back against the submission as she grabs the long hair and wrenches back hard enough to force a break. Becky stomps the hand and yanks Candice up, trying for the Bexploder, but multiple elbows to the face stops her. Becky still forearms the woman and sends her into the corner, looking for the clothesline. Candice counters with an inverted faceplant into the turnbuckle she sets Becky up in the middle turnbuckle and climbs up high for the Midnight Lover neckbreaker before hooking the legs to get the victory and earning the title shot.

 

The arena erupts with a mix of cheers and boos as Cornell is declared the winner. The cannons in the arena go off as she climbs the corner to celebrate her victory. She blows the crowd a kiss and waves before being suddenly dragged down, face crashing into the corner. She’s stomped by down a masked wrestler in the corner. The mystery person yanks her up and sends the woman onto the mat with a piledriver. As Candice lies on the mat, the attack unzips their body suit to reveal a royal purple and yellow styled dress and purple heels as they stepped out of the suit. The woman then removed the ski mask, red locks flowing down her back as she tosses it aside. Talker Hendrix is back and she made sure to leave her mark tonight on Sweeneymania. The woman blows Candice a kiss before stomping the face for an added measure with the heel, Candice shrieking in pain as it damn near dug through the cheek. Hendrix steps back to admire her work, wiping the blood onto Candice’s gear before leaving the ring.

Scarlett Bordeaux defends her Rise of Phoenix Championship against:

Tyler Breeze, Phil Jackal, Natalya, Sami Callihan and Ivelisse Vélez

Ivelisse and Sami start off the chamber portion of the match. The title hangs high above them, but neither competitor can climb until they’re one of the last two standing in the ring. Velez looks to make that possible as she gets the arm drag and follows up with what looks like an armbar before snapping the arm back. Callihan tries to cradle the arm, but she takes control as she wraps it around the ankle and snaps it back again with another maneuver. Callihan rolls into the corner and Velez races in for the cannonball for the pin. He kicks out at one, but she immediately goes back to the arm, getting it behind the back for a submission. Ivelisse managed to get the arm around her leg and tries to roll him up, but he kicks out at two again. Velez forces him up and Sami finds an opening with a palm thrust to her throat. The Puerto Rican chokes as Callihan quickly scoops her up into the torture rack position and drops her on the head with a slam. Ivelisse is dazed as she slowly sits up and Sami boots the face hard for the cover. She gets the shoulder up and he makes her regret it with a transition into the cloverleaf submission. Velez struggles to get to the ropes. No breaks would save her, but she crawls through and forces Sami to break the hold as the timer starts. Callihan chases her to the outside, slamming the face into Tyler’s pod. He puts a knee into the back of her head, forcing her face against the glass while staring down Breeze with a maniacal grin. “You’re next you piece of shit!” The timer hits zero and the pods light up until...

 

Natalya is chosen as the next competitor. She races in and clobbers Callihan from behind with multiple strikes, but he grabs her by the throat before dropping her with a chokeslam to the hard flooring on the outside. She rolls into the ring and Sami stalks after her, stomping the back as she tries to crawl away. He grabs Natalya by the roots of her hair, dragging her into the corner. Callihan looks for the big boot to the face, but she rolls out the way in time and connects with a dropkick to send him back. She elbows him repeatedly in the corner before getting the snap suplex into the corner on his back for the pin. One...two—Sami kicks out. Ivelisse is back in this one and she climbs high for a crossbody to Natalya as she stands, but the third-generation wrestler catches Velez in the air and drops her across the knee with a backbreaker for a close pinfall. Hart grabs the legs, looking for the sharpshooter, but Ivelisse manages to roll her up. Natalya kicks out early, but eats a vertigo kick. Ivelisse gets her up and looks for the suplex to get Natalya on the top turnbuckle. She tries for the headscissors takedown, but Natalya has the legs and forces Velez up. The redhead fights back, but Natalya seals the deal with a powerbomb from the top rope. Both women are down and Sami tries to pick up the pieces with pins on them both, but they manage to get the shoulder up. He goes for Natalya, dragging her to the center as the countdown starts again. Callihan forces get up on the shoulders vertically and she slips out before sending him down with the discus lariat. The next entrant comes out. She hooks the legs. One...t—

 

Sami kicks out just as Breeze adds himself into the mix. The blonde springboards off the ropes with a 450 splash onto the death machine as Natalya rolls out the way and tries to pin him. Sami continues to survive. Natalya grabs Tyler by his ponytail, but he kicks her off and sends her out of the ring. Tyler quickly dives through the ropes to spear her into the hardened floor. He doesn’t stop there, using the top turnbuckle for a crossbody to Ivelisse as she finally stands. He tries to pin her, but she kicks out. Velez rolls to the outside and Tyler is left standing. He goes straight for Callihan, trying to sit him up. The man spits in Breeze’s face and that serves as enough of a distraction to kick Tyler in the knee. He follows up with a snap DDT to the mat before stomping his chest and torso repeatedly. Sami grabs the hair to lift him up. “You think you can take me on, boy?!” He slaps Tyler back down to the mat. “You can’t outdick me, you little shit!” He slaps the face again and drags Tyler to his feet, sending him to the ropes and getting the big boot to send him outside. Callihan yanks him up and tries to toss Tyler into the pod, but Breeze uses his athleticism to run up the side and flip back with a moonsault. On the opposing side, Natalya and Velez are slugging it out with Hart getting the vicious chop to drop Velez on the neck with a German suplex.

 

Ivelisse slowly rolls back in while the countdown starts. Natalya tries for the pin, but Ivelisse wasn’t staying down. She tries for the sharpshooter again, but Ivelisse kicks her off in time. The blonde grabs Velez by the hair and forces her up, but a sudden spin kick dazes Natalya and Ivelisse follows up with the Desert Eagle to put Hart away. Three remain until the count reaches zero. The next entrant is none other than the champion. Scarlett bolts into the ring, ducking a clothesline from Ivelisse before connecting with a dropkick as Tyler tries to re-enter. The blonde focuses on Velez with a STO to the mat before rebounding off the ropes with a senton. She hooks the legs for a two count. Bordeaux blows her a kiss and smiles before slapping Ivelisse hard enough for it to echo. The crowd gasps as Bordeaux yanks her up and whips her into the corner. She looks to capitalize with the back elbow, but Velez sidesteps and kicks the chest hard. She gets Scarlett up on the top turnbuckle and races in with a dropkick to shove the back into the pod. The champion drops to the floor and Velez follows up with a shooting star press to Bordeaux on the floor. Meanwhile, Breeze and Sami are still on the outside with Tyler climbing the pod. Callihan climbs the corner and gets the boot, but Breeze stomps the hand. He gets to the top with Sami hot on his tail. He meets Sami with a strike to the face and Callihan repays him with a forearm. They go back and forth until Sami gets the headbutt. He sets Breeze up with the Air Raid Crash, dropping from the top of the pod to the mat. Both men are down as the timer starts again. Sami tries to crawl into the pin, but Breeze still has some life in him. He pushes away at Sami, trying to roll away. The death machine has him by the hair and drags him closer as they both start to stand.

 

The last pod opens, but Jackal remains inside as he watches the chaos go down. Tyler forearms Sami and suddenly unleashes the Beauty Shot to take him down with the pinfall. Breeze focuses on Jackal, but Sami wasn’t done with him. He strikes Tyler with a superkick from behind and sends his shoulder right into the corner. Tyler spills to the outside and Sami continues the onslaught by grabbing the legs and slamming the face straight into the pod. Callihan chuckles as Breeze lays unconscious on the outside. “We ain’t done here, Pretty Boy.” He made a kissy sound to Tyler and spits on him again before leaving the chamber. Scarlett and Ivelisse were still battling on the outside with Velez getting the upper hand with a dropkick to the chest. Bordeaux’s back bounces off the steel wall and Ivelisse follows up with a suplex to the floor. She notices Phil finally stepping into the ring and their eyes meet. She meets him in the center and shoves him. She gets in his face, smirking as she pretends to shoot him in the head with her fingers as a gun. “Im about to put one right between the eyes, cabrón!” She tries for the heel kick, but Jackal ducks and gets the jumping neckbreaker from behind. Phil snatches up Ivelisse up by her red locks and whips her into the corner. He races in and catches her with a knee to the chest. As she stumbles out, Jackal rebounds off the ropes with a jumping DDT. He tries to hook the legs, but Ivelisse was not giving up that easily.

 

Jackal has her up and she suddenly headbutts him. The woman rebounds off the ropes and gets the wheelbarrow cutter. She looks to finish him off, but Bordeaux is in the ring and catches Ivelisse with a spear. The blonde drives fist after fist to the face. Scarlett licks her palm slowly before slapping Ivelisse across the face. She yanks Velez up, but the woman fights back with a kick to the gut. She tries to follow up with a fireman’s carry maneuver, but Scarlett escapes and counters with a backstabber. Velez drops to the mat, but as she slowly stands, Scarlett rebounds off the ropes with the double knees to the back of the head that finally puts Ivelisse away for good. Tyler is slowly standing, his back against the pod. He was bleeding from the side of his face from the attack, but he steps through the ropes, determined to continue. Bordeaux laughs him off, looking for an easy win as she goes for the roundhouse. Tyler ducks and shoves her forward into the corner. Jackal was waiting for her and follows up with a sunset flip powerbomb as he leaps into the ring. As she stands, Jackal gets the flatliner and she rolls out onto the apron. Breeze stares Phil down as blood slightly drips along the eye. He wipes it away and rubs it on his gear, unfazed by the mess made. The two lock up and Phil gets the headlock before dropping him with a facebuster. He follows up with the Calf Mutilation submission, trying to tap Tyler out. Breeze refuses to give in and Phil releases the hold only to kick the chest as Tyler tries to stand. Breeze crawls into the corner and Jackal races in for the cannonball. Breeze rolls out the way in time and Phil is caught upside down, allowing Tyler the dropkick to the face. He tries to pin Jackal and gets the two count. Breeze has him up and whips him into the ropes, but Phil holds onto them as Tyler races in to eat a back elbow. Phil gets behind him with a tilt-a-whirl faceplant into the crossface. Jackal pulls on the face hard, stretching the neck out as Tyler struggles to hang on. Blood continues to drip down his face and blinds him. The blonde can’t get away and red slowly turns to black before he passes out. Jackal claims this victory and now its down to two. The championship was now up for grabs.

 

Phil tries to climb one of the pods, but Bordeaux is back and stops him just in time. She forces Jackal back on the mat and slaps him across the face. As she tries to rebound off the ropes, Jackal cuts her off with a knee to the gut. He flips her with a rolling snapmare and connects with a superkick to the face. Jackal tries for the pod again, reaching the top by the time Scarlett is up. As he tries to climb across the X ropes towards the title, Bordeaux climbs the corner and leaps forward to grab the legs. She claws at his torso with her nails and he’s forced to let go, the two of them dropping down to the mat. As they stand, Scarlett dazes him with a roundhouse. She follows up with a single-hand bulldog to take control. Jackal tries to sit up and Bordeaux rebounds off the ropes to get the double knees from behind. Jackal’s face plants into the mat and Scarlett starts to climb the side of the cage to get on the pod. As she uses the X ropes, Phil is back up. Bordeaux is inching ever closer to the title, bye Jackal quickly climbs the pod on the opposing end. Scarlett tries to reach out for the belt, but Jackal leaps off the pod with a spear to take her down. They crash again. Jackal is up first and tries to capitalize, but as he drags her up by the arm, Scarlett kicks him in the gut. She sets him up for the Canadian Destroyer, but Jackal counters with a backdrop. Bordeaux rolls towards the outside and Phil goes after her. He tries to grab her and Scarlett gets him with an arm drag that sends the back into the steel. She isn’t done yet, getting him up before trying to whip him into the steel again. Phil has it scouted and reverses with an elbow to the jaw. She tries to strike him again and he makes her eat a superkick. Jackal quickly gets her on the shoulders, but she elbows the face multiple times before raking the eyes to escape. She shoves him forward into one of the pods and starts to climb again. Phil wasn’t entirely down and makes the climb, as well. She stomps at his hand to make him fall, but Jackal continues to hang on. Bordeaux grabs him by the hair and drags him up onto the pod to slam the face in the steel. She tries to kick him back down, but Jackal grabs the leg and counters with a forearm. She swings, but he ducks and scoops her up and drops her down below on the outside with the michinoku driver. Bordeaux is still as Jackal climbs the X ropes towards the center and reaches the championship. He unstraps the belt and the bell rings.

 

The fans are stunned, but they applaud him as he drops down from the ropes. The referee helps him up and raises his hand as Jackal cradles the title with the other. The fans cheer him on and give a round of applause as confetti drops down from the ceiling and the cannons go off in the background. Phil holds the title up high finally, the belt gleaming in the arena lights as the show comes to an end.

The show was over, the fans were filing out of the building—Sweeneymania was a huge success. Everyone had fun, risks were taken, and new champions were crowned. And yet there was still disdain hanging in the air. Dissatisfaction was lingering in the background and it was accompanied by a rage-filled scream from the arena. The scream came again with the throwing of a trash can from the women’s locker room. The camera crew followed the noise, confused that anyone was still left. As they peaked inside, they can see Scarlett still pacing in the room. Her hills clicked as she changed from her gear long ago, but there was still a fire in her that couldn’t be put out so easily. Another scream escaped her throat and she kicks one of the lockers in frustration.

 

“This was supposed to be MY night! I was supposed to be the greatest champion PCW ever had! How could Phil-fucking-Jackal....UGH!” She kicks another locker. “Everything I’ve sacrificed just to get here...taken by some random five just like that? Oh, no. HELL. NO. This isn’t the end. I will make sure of that.” They didn’t notice it at first, but the blonde had a switchblade in one of her hands, flicking the blade in and out from the handle as she thinks. One of them moves and bumps a nearby trash can, catching her attention. She smiles and saunters over to them with the blade waving in the air.

 

“Now I don’t remember asking for company. You should be long gone by now, but since you’re here...” Bordeaux grabs one of them by the cheeks, blade waving in front of his face. The man was terrified, too scared of what she might do if he tried to pull away. “You agree that Ph got lucky, right? He was the last to enter, the freshest of the bunch. RIGHT?” The men both shook their head in agreement and Scarlett smiles. “Thanks. I really needed to hear that.” She gives them a wink before the blade plunges into one of their necks. The one with the camera gasped and stifled a scream as blood pours down the knife she onto her knuckles. The man choked on his own blood, eyes rolling in the back of his head before dropping to the floor with the blade still stuck inside.

 

The cameraman falls back onto the floor, the camera dropping down. All that was shown is her heels and the man as she approached him and leaned down. Her bloody hand gently takes hold of his face as a laugh erupts. “I’ll let you live ONLY to show what just happened here. I need you to tell PCW, tell Taya, and tell Jackal that the Dominatrix of Darkness is pissed off and that she has every intention of slicing my way through to my championship." She starts to crawl along the floor, directing her gaze at the camera. Her chest and bloody hand were in complete view and she gently rubs a bloody finger along the screen, her laughter echoing through the halls as the screen eventually goes blank.
