==========================
This program contains violent content, strong language and sexual situations which may be too intense for some viewers.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Scene opens with a sweeping aerial shot of a packed arena under a dazzling light display. Pyro erupts across the stage. The unmistakable guitar riff of "We Like It Loud" by Sleeping With Sirens blasts over the PA system. The crowd is electric.
Cut to the Adrenaline commentary desk, flanked by LED panels and surrounded by the energy of a hyped crowd.
Rey Vampiro: (leaning into the camera, grinning) "YOOOO! Toronto, are you ready?! Because we are kicking off 2026 the only way Adrenaline knows how, LOUD!"
Lex Castle (laughing, confident): "That's right! I'm Lex Castle, alongside Rey Vampiro, and welcome to the very first Adrenaline of the new year! Thirty three thousand strong packed into CNE Stadium tonight, and this crowd is HUNGRY."
Rey Vampiro: "2025 was a hell of a ride, but we ain't looking backwards tonight. New year, same fire. Adrenaline is the bloodstream of this sport, and tonight we hit the ground running with a Main Event worthy of kicking off a whole new chapter!"
Lex Castle: "Oh, you already KNOW it's gonna be a heater. World Television Champion Kevin Jason debuts the Fifteen Minutes of Fame Open Challenge with the Championship on the line!”
Rey Vampiro: "But first? We set it off with trios action! Strap in, because the World Trios Championships are ALSO on the line as the cold-blooded Corleone’s defend their Championships."
Lex Castle: "And y'all better believe they're not walking into that ring to make friends. Let's not waste another second, Ed, hit the lights. Let's get this first Adrenaline of the year underway!"
Cut to the ring where Ed Schemmenti stands center-ring in a spotlight, microphone in hand, the crowd roaring.
ED SCHEMMENTI (Ring Announcer): "Ladies and gentlemen... WELCOME to ADRENALINE!!"
"And this... is your opening contest! A Trios Match scheduled for ONE FALL!"
Crowd chants: "ONE FALL!"
Arena lights shift to entrance mode as pyro erupts and the first team's music hits. The camera pans across the crowd as excitement builds.

[SEGMENT: DOMINION; ANTONIO PARKS, KEVIN JASON, CYNNAMIN DuJOUR, HALO ALEXANDER & SAI AL-MADANI.]
The camera opens inside a lavish, private locker room, clearly a step above the rest of the roster's accommodations. A "DOMINION" placard is mounted on the door outside. Halo Alexander is stretching near a bench, working through his pre-match routine, while Sai Al-Madani ties up her boots nearby, focused and calm.
In the corner, Kevin Jason and Cynnamin sit with drinks in hand, watching the room with cold, unreadable expressions, saying nothing.
Antonio Parks stands near the center of the room, arms crossed, watching Halo with the sharp eye of a mentor sizing up his student before a fight.
ANTONIO PARKS: "You feel good?"
HALO ALEXANDER: "I feel great. Ready to finish what I started."
The door swings open and Zayd Neidhart steps inside, greeted immediately by a grin from Halo and a warm smile from Sai, who crosses the room to meet him halfway.
SAI AL-MADANI: "Hey, you made it."
ZAYD NEIDHART: "Wouldn't miss it."
He pulls her into a quick kiss before turning his attention to Halo, clapping him on the shoulder.
ZAYD NEIDHART: "You good, man? For real?"
HALO ALEXANDER: "I'm good. Zero Hour's Zero Hour. Tonight's a different night."
ZAYD NEIDHART: "Nah, but that's the thing. It shouldn't have even been close. Black Diamond had their whole crew out there messing with the finish. That's not competition, that's cheating, and everybody just let it slide like it's normal."
Antonio steps closer, his tone shifting into something more serious, more protective.
ANTONIO PARKS: "Zayd."
Zayd turns to face him.
ANTONIO PARKS: "I get it. I do. You finished third in Top Prospect, you know what it feels like to give everything you got and still watch somebody try to take a shortcut around you. But you gotta understand something. You're not a competitor anymore tonight. You're a civilian. Whatever happens out there, you let them handle it inside that ring. You start getting involved, you're not protecting anybody, you're putting a target on your own back, and there's nothing I can do about that from here."
Zayd's jaw tightens, clearly frustrated, but he doesn't argue right away.
ZAYD NEIDHART: "So I'm just supposed to sit there and watch it happen again? Watch them try to screw my best friend right in front of me?"
ANTONIO PARKS: "I'm not saying don't care. I'm saying be smart. There's a difference."
Sai steps in, placing a gentle hand on Zayd's chest, drawing his focus back to her.
SAI AL-MADANI: "Hey. Look at me."
He does, his expression softening slightly.
SAI AL-MADANI: "Halo's ready. I'm out there with him. Antonio's out there with him. Nothing is getting past us tonight, I promise you. Just breathe."
Zayd exhales slowly, nodding, though the tension doesn't fully leave his shoulders.
ZAYD NEIDHART: "Fine. Fine, I hear you."
A sharp knock sounds at the door, and a producer pokes their head inside.
PRODUCER: "Sai, you're up next."
Sai nods, grabbing her jacket off the bench.
SAI AL-MADANI: "Let's go."
Halo rolls his neck one final time, locking eyes with Antonio, who gives him a single, confident nod. The three of them, Halo, Sai, and Antonio, head for the door, Zayd trailing just behind to find his seat.
As the door swings shut behind them, the camera lingers behind in the now-quiet locker room, settling on Kevin Jason and Cynnamin still seated in the corner, drinks in hand, matching bitter expressions fixed on the door that just closed.
The scene holds on their cold, resentful stares for a long beat before cutting away.
Match Two:
Singles Match.

Winner: Sai Al-Madani via Pinfall.

[SEGMENT: ARIA FIMBRES & HILARY JASON.]
The camera finds Aria Fimbres alone in a quiet locker room, methodically folding gear into her bag, headphones around her neck, the faint sound of classical music still audible drifting from them. She moves with purpose, clearly preparing to leave for the night.
The door swings open without a knock, and Hilary Jason bounces in, all bright energy and a wide smile, dressed like she's about to walk a red carpet rather than a backstage hallway.
HILARY JASON: "Oh my gosh, hi! You're Aria, right? Aria Fimbres? I've heard SO much about you."
Aria doesn't look up from her bag, continuing to fold her gear with the same precision.
ARIA FIMBRES: "I'm busy."
HILARY JASON: "Busy packing? Girl, you can't leave yet!"
Aria finally glances up, unimpressed.
ARIA FIMBRES: "I'm not scheduled for anything tonight. I already checked."
HILARY JASON: "Well, you are NOW! I may have asked management for a little something special tonight. You and me. Tag team match!"
Aria's expression hardens instantly, zipping her bag closed with more force than necessary.
ARIA FIMBRES: "I don't do tag matches."
Hilary tilts her head, feigning innocent confusion, though a flicker of calculation passes just beneath the surface.
HILARY JASON: "Oh come on, it'll be fun! We'll be like, a duo! I've always wanted a tag partner who actually knows what they're doing in there."
ARIA FIMBRES: "You don't understand. I don't do tag matches. Not anymore."
She slings the bag over her shoulder, and for the first time, something colder and more personal creeps into her tone.
ARIA FIMBRES: "I held those titles longer than anyone in this company's history. And the one time I trusted somebody enough to share that ring with me, it ended with her losing us the championship and me making sure she understood exactly what that cost her. So no. I don't do partners. I don't do tag matches. I do this alone."
Hilary's smile falters for just a beat, but she recovers quickly, stepping closer, softening her voice like she's trying to bond over something.
HILARY JASON: "Okay, but like... maybe this could be different? I'm not looking to hold you back or anything, I promise. I just think we'd actually make a really good team, you know? Like, you're all technical and scary good, and I'm..."
She does a little twirl.
HILARY JASON: "...the star of the show. We'd be unstoppable."
Aria studies her for a long moment, unreadable, before brushing past her toward the door.
ARIA FIMBRES: "I'm doing this match tonight because it's my job, not because I like you, and definitely not because I trust you. So stay out of my way, and if you get us disqualified or cost us this match, you'll wish they'd never given you a locker room in this building."
She walks out without another word, leaving Hilary standing alone in the room.
The moment the door clicks shut, Hilary's bright, bubbly expression fades into something far more calculated, a slow, satisfied smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth as she watches the door.
The camera holds on that smirk for a beat too long before the scene cuts away.
Match Three:
Tag Team Match.
Platinum Society w/Carson Scerbo & Theodore Lauren versus DVA GRL.
Winners: Platinum Society via Pinfall.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
[SEGMENT: LUCA LeCROIX, DONDRE POWELL, ILLYANA NIKOLIVENA.]
The camera finds Dondré Powell seated on a bench in the locker room, tape already wound around one wrist, working through the other with practiced hands. A tablet is propped up in front of him, playing footage of Antonio Parks defending the Intercontinental Championship, his eyes locked on the screen, studying every movement.
The door opens and Luca LeCroix walks in, gear bag over his shoulder, immediately clocking what's on the screen. Illyana Nikolievna follows just behind him.
LUCA LECROIX: "Yo, is that... another Parks match?"
Dondré doesn't look up right away, still finishing off the tape job.
DONDRÉ POWELL: "Yeah, IC Title run. Man was surgical back then."
LUCA LECROIX: "Bro, that's like the fifth one I caught you watchin' this week. You good?"
Dondré finally glances up, a small smirk on his face.
DONDRÉ POWELL: "Nah, I'm dead serious though. You gotta study the best if you tryna become the best, right? Can't just show up and hope it work out."
He taps the screen, pausing the footage on a shot of Parks mid-hold.
DONDRÉ POWELL: "Look at that positioning right there. Every little detail mean somethin' with him. That's the kinda stuff separate a champion from everybody else just out here throwin' hands."
He stands, tossing the tablet into his bag, then looks over at Luca with a knowing look.
DONDRÉ POWELL: "Honestly, you should be puttin' in that same tape study. 'Specially if you tryna get on Dominion's radar one day. Parks don't just let anybody rock with him, you gotta show him you built like that."
Luca's expression shifts, just slightly, something unreadable flickering across his face, a look like he's genuinely confused about where that assumption even came from. He opens his mouth like he's about to respond, but instead just shakes his head slightly and lets it go.
Illyana glances between the two of them, catching the brief tension hanging in the air, and steps in smoothly, clapping her hands together.
ILLYANA NIKOLIEVNA: "Okay, okay, enough of dis. We 'ave a match. Let us go."
Dondré grins, the moment passing as quickly as it came, and slings his bag over his shoulder. He reaches for Illyana's hand, lacing his fingers with hers as the two of them head for the door.
Luca lingers a moment longer, staring at the now-dark tablet screen in Dondré's bag, before shaking his head again and following the two of them out.
The camera holds briefly on the empty room before cutting to the arena as their entrance music begins to hit.

Tyler Watson w/No Flight Republic versus Jazz w/Princeton Rose.
Winner: Tyler Watson via Pinfall.
Time: 15:07
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
[POST-MATCH SEGMENT: NO FLIGHT REPUBLIC & WET DREAMZ.]
Tyler Watson's music is still ringing out as the referee raises his hand, No Flight Republic celebrating at ringside while Jazz and Princeton Rose tend to their fallen partner in the ring. Watson slides out, soaking in the win, slapping hands with Tommy Kay and Bulldog Peters as they make their way up the ramp.
They're barely halfway up the entrance when the crowd suddenly erupts, a different kind of noise, sharp and chaotic.
Dylan is the first one through the curtain, a kendo stick already gripped in both hands, and he swings it directly into the back of Bulldog Peters before the big man even has a chance to turn around. Hendrix comes flying in right behind him, a steel chair raised high, cracking it across Watson's shoulders and dropping him to a knee.
The crowd is on its feet.
Matty brings up the rear, dragging a trash can lid, and goes straight after Tommy Kay, catching him flush across the side of the head with it, sending Kay stumbling into the barricade.
Bulldog tries to fight back, shoving Dylan off of him, but Hendrix and Matty are already there, the three of them working in unison, driving Bulldog back with a flurry of shots until he goes down to the entrance ramp floor.
DYLAN: "You wanna spear somebody in half?! Huh?! How about this?!"
He brings the kendo stick down again and again across Bulldog's back, the sound echoing through the arena.
Watson tries to crawl toward the guardrail, but Hendrix is on him immediately, stomping the chair flat against his ribs before Matty joins in, the trash can lid clattering off Watson's skull.
Officials and agents come rushing out from the curtain, but Wet Dreamz isn't finished making their statement. Dylan grabs the mic that Ed Schemmenti dropped at ringside, standing over the wreckage of all three members of No Flight Republic sprawled across the ramp.
DYLAN: "That's for Zero Hour! That's for jumping us when we couldn't even finish our song! You wanna talk about disrespect? THAT was disrespect!"
Hendrix, still shaking off the effects of the spear, grabs the chair one more time and slams it down across Bulldog's chest for good measure, drawing a wince from the crowd.
HENDRIX: "Pop Stars don't stay down, baby! We told you that already!"
Security finally floods the ramp in numbers, pulling Wet Dreamz off of a battered No Flight Republic, but the three of them don't resist much, backing away with smug, satisfied grins, soaking in the crowd's roaring approval.
Matty tosses the dented trash can lid down onto Watson's chest as one final parting shot before the group turns and heads back through the curtain, leaving Tommy Kay, Bulldog Peters, and Tyler Watson laid out on the ramp as referees and trainers rush to check on them.
The broadcast lingers on the carnage for a long beat before cutting to commercial.
Match Six:
Singles Match.
Halo Alexander w/Dominion (Antonio Parks & Sai Al-Madani) versus Uhai Salinas w/Black Diamond.
Winner: Halo Alexander via Disqualification.
Time: 7:27
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spots: Zayd is seen front row in the audience once again during Halo’s entrance as he supports his friend and girlfriend. During the match Zayd gets into a shouting match at ringside with Montrell Harris. It leads to Montrell pushing Zayd and Zayd pushing him back, Saleh gets involved grabbing Zayd by the shirt and hauling him over the barricade. Security quickly intervenes and Zayd slides into the ring trying to escape from Saleh and runs into Uhai who grabs him and launches him into Halo causing for a disqualification in favour of Halo. After the match, Parks and Sai quickly get Halo and Zayd out the ring as Black Diamond riots.
[SEGMENT: GREATEST FAMILY ALIVE.]
The scene opens inside the Davenport estate, all marble floors and gold trim, the kind of excess that screams old money even if it was bought last week. Two ornate high-backed chairs sit side by side, Marlena Davenport seated in one, Saint Davenport in the other, a third empty chair beside them, larger and more elaborate than the rest. Bedtime Monster looms silently off to the side, arms crossed, saying nothing.
Declan Davenport paces back and forth in front of them, his hands clasped behind his back, jaw tight, clearly stewing over something.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "Do you understand what failure does to a legacy? Do either of you understand what it costs?"
Marlena watches him carefully, saying nothing. Saint stares down at his hands in his lap, already knowing where this is headed.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "We are the Greatest Family Alive. Not the greatest family that occasionally shows up. Not the greatest family that occasionally performs. The Greatest. Family. Alive. That name is a promise, and every single time one of us fails to deliver on it, it isn't just our loss. It's a stain on everything we've built."
He stops pacing, turning sharply toward Saint.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "And you."
Saint finally looks up, jaw already tightening.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "At Battleground, you had a moment. Number nine, holding your own, doing exactly what I raised you to do. And what did you decide to do with that moment? You decided to put your hands on me."
SAINT DAVENPORT: "You wouldn't stop yelling at me the entire match! You had me so rattled I almost got tossed by LeCroix, and instead of helping me, you kept riding me until I—"
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "Ah, ah, ah."
Declan raises a single finger, and Saint immediately clamps his mouth shut, years of conditioning kicking in even through the visible resentment on his face.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "I don't want to hear excuses. I want you to understand consequences. Because what you did out there wasn't just embarrassing, it was reckless. It told me something I didn't want to know."
He crouches slightly in front of Saint's chair, lowering his voice, though it somehow feels more menacing that way.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "You have become an anchor on this family. A weight. And weights get left behind."
Marlena's eyes flicker toward her son, but she still says nothing, her hands folded neatly in her lap.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "Which is why you will not be at ringside for me tonight at Adrenaline. I don't need the distraction. I don't need to be looking over my shoulder wondering if my own flesh and blood is going to put his hands on me again in front of the entire world."
Saint's fists clench at his sides, his voice sharp with disbelief.
SAINT DAVENPORT: "You threw me out right after I threw you out. Out of spite. Everybody saw it. And now you're gonna stand there and act like I'm the problem?"
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "I said I don't want to hear it."
He straightens back up, turning to address Marlena and Bedtime Monster instead, dismissing Saint entirely.
DECLAN DAVENPORT: "This family does not stay down for long. We never have. Tonight, I remind this company exactly why the Davenport name still means something, and soon enough, all of this... unpleasantness... will be nothing but a footnote."
He adjusts his jacket, satisfied, before turning to walk toward the door, Bedtime Monster falling into step behind him without a word.
The camera stays on Saint, who sits rigid in his chair, humiliation and fury written all over his face, staring at the empty space where his father just stood. Marlena reaches over and gently places a hand on his arm, but Saint pulls away slightly, jaw clenched, saying nothing as the scene fades out.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
[SEGMENT: ARIA, HILARY, SASCO & CORLEONE CRIME FAMILY.]
The camera picks up Hilary Jason and Aria Fimbres walking side by side down the backstage corridor, still catching their breath from the match. Hilary's got an ice pack pressed against her jaw, wincing slightly with every step, though there's a bright, almost proud smile underneath it.
HILARY JASON: "Okay, but can we talk about what just happened out there? I took a DOUBLE superkick. To the FACE. On purpose. Do you understand what that does to a girl's cheekbones?"
Aria keeps walking, unwrapping tape from her wrists, not slowing down.
HILARY JASON: "And I did it for the TEAM! I saw the opening, I saw you needed the space, and I just, I sacrificed myself! Like a queen! And then boom, double lariat, quick tap, we win! I'm telling you, we actually worked really well together out there!"
Aria finally glances over at her, expression flat.
ARIA FIMBRES: "We worked because you stayed out of my way. That's it. That's the whole formula."
Hilary's smile falters slightly, the ice pack pausing against her jaw.
HILARY JASON: "Wait, that's... that's kind of harsh, don't you think? I took a hit for you!"
ARIA FIMBRES: "You took a hit because you were standing in the wrong spot, and it happened to work out. Don't confuse an accident for chemistry."
She brushes past Hilary without another word, continuing down the hallway. Hilary stops walking, staring after her, the smile completely gone now, replaced by a sharp, irritated glare.
Before the moment can build any further, two referees suddenly sprint past both of them, nearly knocking Hilary into the wall, moving with real urgency down the corridor. Aria turns, watching them go, her irritation shifting into curiosity.
The camera operator takes off after them, trailing the referees as they burst through a set of doors leading into a loading area, the sound of commotion growing louder with every step.
They round the corner and the scene comes into view. Sasco Moss is laid out flat on the concrete floor, a heavy tech equipment crate toppled beside him, his UK Heritage Cup trophy knocked over and rolling slightly a few feet away. Security is scrambling to hold back a group standing just out of reach.
The Corleone Crime Family; Claudio, Cristiano, Gabriella, Bastiano & Rocco stand together,World Trios Titles held, taunting down at Sasco with wide, satisfied grins, Claudio Corleone at the center of it all, security straining to keep the family from getting any closer.
CLAUDIO CORLEONE: "That Cup is mine, little boy!"
He waves a dismissive hand toward Sasco's motionless body before turning, calling his children back with a sharp gesture. The Corleones fall into line behind him, filing out of the loading area unbothered, leaving Sasco laid out beside his own trophy as referees finally reach him, checking for signs of movement.
The camera lingers on the scene, the Heritage Cup rolling to a slow stop just out of Sasco's reach, before the broadcast cuts to commercial.

Kevin Jason Fifteen Minutes of Fame Open Challenge
World Television Championship.
© Kevin Jason w/ Cynnamin DuJour versus ???
Kevin Jason's music hits and the arena fills with a chorus of boos as smoke rolls out across the stage. The spotlight catches the back of his white and gold robe, "PERFECTIONIST" stitched in bold letters, before he turns to reveal himself, Cynnamin DuJour draped over his arm as the two of them strut down to the ring like they own the building.
Kevin climbs the steps, takes his time settling into the ring, and finally raises a mic to his lips as the boos die down just enough for him to be heard.
KEVIN JASON: "Would you all just relax? Save your energy. You're gonna need it, because what I'm about to announce is going to be the most important moment of this entire show."
He waits a beat, basking in the jeers.
KEVIN JASON: "I am the World Television Champion. Not because I got lucky. Not because somebody handed it to me. Because I am, unquestionably, undeniably, the greatest champion this title has ever seen. And tonight, I'm feeling generous."
Cynnamin smirks beside him, arms crossed, clearly enjoying every second of it.
KEVIN JASON: "So I'm introducing something brand new. Something historic. I call it... the Fifteen Minutes of Fame Challenge."
The crowd murmurs, unsure what to make of it.
KEVIN JASON: "Here's how it works. Anybody, and I mean anybody, can step up and challenge me for this championship. Men, women, Hall of Famers, indy wrestlers nobody's ever even heard of, doesn't matter to me. I'll give any one of you fifteen minutes. Just fifteen. Because that's all I need to prove, once again, why I'm on a level none of you will ever touch."
He starts pacing the ring now, feeding off his own momentum.
KEVIN JASON: "Fifteen minutes of fame. That's what you'll get standing across the ring from me. Fifteen minutes to say you hung with the greatest champion alive, before I put you back in your place and remind the entire world exactly who runs this division."
He stops, spreading his arms wide.
KEVIN JASON: "So come on. Don't be shy. Who wants to be the first unlucky victim?"
Silence hangs over the arena for a long, drawn-out beat.
Then the opening notes of "Red Mercedes" hit, and the crowd erupts as Boone Valentine strolls out from the back, microphone already in hand, a confident grin plastered across his face.
BOONE VALENTINE: "Hold up, hold up, hold up. Did I just hear Kevin Jason offer up fifteen minutes with the World Television Championship on the line?"
He points toward the ring, still walking, taking his time down the ramp.
BOONE VALENTINE: "See, normally I'd let some other fool step up first, let 'em get embarrassed, let 'em set the example. But I got a problem with sitting on the sidelines when there's a shiny piece of gold sitting right there for the taking."
He reaches ringside, hopping up onto the apron, still addressing the camera.
BOONE VALENTINE: "Kevin, you wanna call yourself the greatest champion alive? Fine. Say it as loud as you want. But everybody in the back knows the real reason you keep that belt is because you pick and choose exactly who you get in that ring with. Well tonight, you don't get to pick. You already opened the door, and One Helluva Handsome Gentleman just walked right through it."
The crowd pops as Boone finally steps through the ropes, staring Kevin down from across the ring, both men sizing each other up while Cynnamin watches nervously from the corner.
A referee slides into the ring behind Boone, calling for the bell as the broadcast cuts to a graphic confirming the match.
The Fifteen Minutes of Fame Challenge is on.

POST MATCH SEGMENT:
The scene opens inside a quiet, dimly lit private locker room, a small monitor mounted on the wall playing the tail end of the main event. Garrett Davenport sits slumped on a bench, shirt discarded, body clearly worked over, watching in silence as Kevin Jason and Cynnamin DuJour celebrate in the ring on screen, the World Television Championship raised high above Kevin's head.
Garrett's jaw tightens with every second of the celebration, his eyes locked on the title glinting under the lights.
The door creaks open behind him, and Saleisha steps inside, an ice pack in hand. She crosses the room without a word, gently pressing it against a visible bruise along his ribs. Garrett winces slightly but doesn't pull away.
She follows his gaze up to the monitor, watching Kevin and Cynnamin still soaking in the moment, the belt held high.
Neither of them says anything for a long moment, the celebration on screen playing out in silence except for the muffled roar of the crowd through the small speaker.
Garrett finally exhales, shaking his head slowly, still staring at the title.
Saleisha reaches down, resting a hand gently on his shoulder, her eyes never leaving the screen either, the same quiet longing written across both of their faces.
The camera holds on the two of them, still and silent, the glow of the monitor casting a pale light across the room, before slowly fading to black.
