38 seconds into the song, the camera cuts to inside of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, then the opening pyro went off.
After the opening pyro, the camera pans around as Mauro Ranallo speaks.
Mauro:It is electric here inside SoFi Stadium, Mauro Ranallo here alongside Nigel McGuinness and Beth Phoenix as always, and boy, do we have a card for you guys!
Beth:What a card indeed! Tonight, the RCCW NXT Hardcore Champion, Dennis, is gonna be in action, oooh I wouldn't want to be whoever's on the other side of that ring when that match happens.
Nigel:And later on, Faith and Kindness will also be in action, and Team Weird n' Wild will be addressing the Tag Team Championship picture. Plus, it's the return of Kushida! After getting jumped by Scarlet and Graves in Episode 8, Kushida is back, and he's gonna be in one on one action tonight!
Mauro:And headlining tonight's show as the main event, will be the Casino Scramble Match to determine the number one contender to Starlight Glimmer and the LWF: Reborn Championship at End Of The Line! Chris Brookes, Quatro, Adagio Dazzle, and Robert Squared will all be in contention for it, alongside our mystery 5th participant!
Then...
The crowd cheers, Ruby sprinted out before warming up and removing her hood as steam poured out.
(OPENING MATCH: Ruby Rose vs. Ricochet)
Behind her, Sonata walked out, applauding her friend.
*bell rings*
Jeremy Borash:Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your opening contest scheduled for One fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Sonata Dusk, hailing from the kingdom of Vale, RUBY ROSE!!!
Mauro:Ruby Rose has been on a mission to get back into the Wattpad Title picture as of late, and that road leads right through Ricochet, the reluctantly newest member of the SCE. If she can beat Ricochet, then Chard will consider putting her back in Wattpad Title contention!
Nigel:Ever since that result at High Acceleration, Ruby has made it her personal mission, to finally do what she knows she can do, beat Spongebob, and claim the Wattpad Championship!
Beth:And she's not afraid of the numbers either! Ruby would run through every SCE member if she needs to in order to get to him!
Ruby slides into the ring while Sonata stays out at ringside. Ruby then climbed the ropes and points to the sky before pointing to the fans.

Shortly after, Ricochet walked out, wearing black and white attire, with equal signs on the sides.
Jeremy Borash:And now, introducing her opponent, accompanied to the ring by the LWF: Reborn Champion, Starlight Glimmer, hailing from Paducah, Kentucky, he weighs in tonight at 198 pounds, RICOCHET!!!
Mauro:It was clearly quite a shocker at High Acceleration, when we thought Ricochet was gonna dethrone Starlight, by putting everything he stood for on the line, he came up short and now, look where it got him.
Nigel:Yeah, and earlier today, Starlight gave Ricochet a bit of a pep talk, have a look.
A picture-in-picture then plays, and it's an "Earlier Today" clip, and the clip is Starlight and Ricochet standing somewhere backstage.
Starlight:Ok, so Ricochet, you're facing Ruby tonight. Now, instead of beating her your way, you're doing it in the way of Equality.
Ricochet:Just what do you mean by that?
Starlight:Don't do things... that nobody else can do.
The picture-in-picture then ends, with Ricochet already in the ring.
Mauro:It's clear as day that Starlight wants Ricochet to win, not in his way, but hers!
Nigel:Yup. Clearly there's no place for Ricochet's fast paced offense in her vision of Equality, and this is her first step to get it out of his system.
The bell rings, and the match is underway.
Ruby and Ricochet lock up in the middle of the ring, Ricochet then gets Ruby in a Wristlock, but then Ruby rolls forward to reverse it, and then takes Ricochet down with an Arm Drag.
They both get up, Ruby goes for a Superkick but Ricochet catches it! He sweeps her other leg to take her down, but Ruby kicks him off.
She gets up, catches a kick from Ricochet, throws his leg up, but Ricochet was able to backflip and land on his feet!
Ricochet goes for a Clothesline, but Ruby ducks, hits the ropes, then knocks Ricochet down with a Front Dropkick!
Ruby goes for the cover, but Ricochet kicks out at 2.
Ruby then picked Ricochet up, but then Ricochet created separation with a Jawbreaker!
Mauro:Ricochet now, Jawbreaker to create some sort of distance...
Ricochet then delivered an Uppercut, and then he planted Ruby with a Body Slam, followed by a Standing Moonsault!
Mauro:... And Ricochet! Body Slam followed by a Moonsault...
Ricochet then went for the cover, but Ruby kicked out at 2!
Mauro:But Ruby out at 2!
Ricochet then looked at Starlight, who began berating him for hitting a Moonsault.
Nigel:Starlight Glimmer, not happy with Ricochet for hitting that Standing Moonsault!
Beth:See, this is what's wrong with Starlight's "Equality", it's basically stripping everyone of individuality, and becoming nothing more than sheep, and that's what she's doing to Ricochet!
