Breakdown - April 17, 2013

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of David Miller hitting the Backdrop Driver. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx nailing Wild Bill with the SCW Underground Championship before smiling as the shot freezes and flies at the screen.

“You can't erase this deep inside of me
I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

We see Marina Trent spewing the Nocturnal Mist into Regan Street’s eyes before the shot freezes and flies at the screen. A shot of Shilo Valiant hitting the E-Factor on Shawn Winters is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of David Helms holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Jason Wilde and Joss Morrison standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

“I cherish the love and
I cherish the life that's inside of me
And I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

Shots of Lucas Knight and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Collin Cole nailing David Helms with the Cole Killer, and followed by a shot of Kelcey Wallace hitting the Perfect Fate on Gigi Steward are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of Tatum McGraw yelling at someone is shown before flying past the screen.

“Won't you come and rescue me?
Separate myself from me
Maybe I'm too blind to see
Save my life, rescue me.”

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Gable Winchester, Shaun Cruze, Thorn & David Helms, Blitzkrieg, Alex Desoubrais Jr., Regan Street, Marina Trent, Harmony Fisher, Blake Mason, The Cashmere Mafia and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.

The scene then switches to the inside of the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena before we sweep down to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the final stop before Riding the Lightning Weekend and tonight, we are going to find out the fate of Syren and how the Board of Directors is going to interpret her Trios Tournament Contract here!”

Knots: “I don’t get this one bit. This is just more games for the sake of games. She was clear as day!”

Sharper: “Well we’ll find out here tonight. Adam Sharper, alongside Jonathan Knots. And along with that, we know Jake Starr is here. But the story may also be what is going on with Regan Street, David Helms and Syren.”

Knots: “I have a good feeling there at least!”

Sharper: “Not only that, some big matches here tonight. Marina Trent and Katie Steward will go one on one. Devon Kayl and Thirteen will also clash. That and so much more including something we’ll talk a bit more about throughout the evening, Blake Mason and Tatum McGraw have had a very public falling out and they’re going to be in that ring, face to face.”

Knots: “More of this B.S. How Perfect are you when you can’t even handle that someone is moving on from your ass!”

Josh Hudson vs. Chad Evans

“Love Me or Hate Me, It Doesn’t Make a Difference" can be heard throughout the arena, as it echoes through the PA system and then it breaks into “Time Bomb". Out from the back steps none other than Josh Hudson. He stops atop the entrance ramp, and looks out into the crowd and nods his head yes, and then begins to head down to the ring. He ignores the various cheers and outstretched hands and Hudson photos from the fans, walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face. He continues to slowly make his way to the ring, a look of determination on his face as he slides underneath the ropes. He climbs to the top rope and stares out into the crowd, smirking, before dropping down and sitting against the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin.

Sharper: “We’re going to start off with two former World Champions about to clash. They have fought one on one once before and that was in October 2007. Two weeks after Chad Evans lost the title and two weeks before Josh Hudson won the title. Hudson won that match.”

Knots: “Someone’s trying to look smart. Is there a cute girl in the crowd you’re trying to get into the pants of.”

Sharper: “It’s called research.”

Knots: “Well how about the fact that we were Hudson and Evans free a few months ago and it was magical.”

"Awesome God" by Hillside UNITED begins playing as the stadium lights up. Giant white beams fall all over the stage as Chad Evans makes his way out from the back wearing a white robe, carrying his Bible to his chest.

"Our God, he's an awesome God

He reigns from Heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God, he's an awesome God

"Our God, he's an awesome God

He reigns from Heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God, he's an awesome God

had raises his arm up and looks up to the rafters before dropping on to one knee before bowing his head with his hands locking together in front of him over the book. Pyro begins falling from the rafters at several different parts of the arena immediately causing everything to have different tints of silver. He raises his head up and ends his short prayer before standing back up to tart walkng down the ramp.

"OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD."

As he walk past a few fans he slaps their hands cheerfully while chantin "Amen" repeatedly. Stepping up along the steel steps, Chad makes his way halfway down the apron before going to step in from over the second rope. Entering the ring he raises his arms up to the crowd as the song reaches a deafening pitch.

"OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD

HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE

WITH WISDOM, POWER, AND LOVE

OUR GOD, HE'S AN AWESOME GOD!!!"

Chad places the bible carefully down at the corner before removing his white robe where they are taken by a crew member at ringside.

Sharper: “Well regardless, Chad Evans is not the same person he was five and a half years ago, let alone a year ago. I still don’t know what to make of this.”

Knots: “He did beat Gable, somehow, thanks to those Perfect bastards. This Sunday, that’ll get rectified.”

Sharper: “And this Saturday, Josh Hudson will face Rachel Foxx and that’s going to be an interesting match only because of the mindset of Rachel. I’d love to know what Hudson thinks of Rachel these days. They’ve been around the block a few times.”

The bell sounds and Chad Evans and Josh Hudson look at each other. They move in towards the other and lock up in the middle of the ring. Hudson quickly turns into an arm wrench. He pulls on the arm and Chad winces. He turns and tries to counter, but Hudson jerks on it. He then turns and moves into a hammerlock. Chad elbows Hudson in the jaw. He runs forward and into the ropes. He bounces off and Hudson arm drags him over. Chad gets up and Hudson goes for the arm and wrenches it. Chad winces and then flips forward and pushes Hudson off with his feet. Both get up and Chad goes for a clothesline. He bounces off the ropes and Hudson goes for a hip toss, but Chad spins through and hip tosses Hudson down. Chad goes to grab him, but Hudson shoves him off with his feet. Chad rolls over and gets up. Hudson then gets up and Chad runs at him, but Hudson ducks around him and into a waistlock. He then turns into a side headlock. Chad starts to pull him back and into the ropes and goes to fire him across, but Hudson holds onto him. Chad falls to his knees. Hudson pulls up and Chad yells in anger before starting to slowly get up. He then lifts Hudson up, but Hudson drops down and takes him over with a headlock takedown.

Chad rolls his shoulder up and remains on the ground.

Sharper: “Hudson just outwrestling Chad Evans right now. Forcing him down to the mat.”

Knots: “Probably frustrating him. Apparently he didn’t pray enough before the match.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Chad starts to slowly get his legs under him. Hudson holds on and Chad gets up. He then nails him in the ribs. He nails him again and shoves him into the ropes before hooking his leg. The referee calls for the break.

Hudson lets go and steps back, only for Chad to turn and kick him in the ribs. The crowd boos. Chad nails him with a hard right. He chops him as the crowd woos. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Hudson bounces off the ropes. Chad goes for a hip toss, but Hudson spins through and knees him in the ribs. He then double underhooks Chad and throws him over with a suplex. The crowd roars. Hudson then grabs him and hooks him up by the arm and starts to hoist him up. He then hip tosses him down as the crowd cheers faintly. Chad starts to get up.

Knots: “Come on Chad! I thought you were something special.”

Sharper: “Chad Evans is right now struggling to get much going. Hudson just using his strength and technical skill to keep him off-kilter.”

Chad turns and Hudson kicks him in the ribs. He snap suplexes him over and goes into a pin.

Chad kicks out. He starts to get up and Hudson grabs him and nails him with a hard right. He then whips him into the corner. Chad hits the corner and Hudson walks over. He nails him with a hard right before wrenching the arm and pulling him out. He goes for a short-arm clothesline, but Chad ducks. Hudson turns around and Chad jumps up and nails him with a dropkick to the jaw. The crowd ohs. Hudson gets up and Chad hits a second dropkick. The crowd ohs again and Hudson stumbles up to his feet and Chad grabs him and lifts him up, dropping him with an inverted atomic drop. He then kicks him in the ribs before throwing him back, hard into the corner.

Sharper: “Chad Evans getting some offense now. He’s no longer playing, just tossing Hudson around.”

Knots: “Probably not happy about being tossed around himself!”

Chad then kicks Hudson in the ribs and chops him again. The crowd woos. He grabs Hudson and hooks him up before turning and throwing him down hard, stomach first on the top rope. The impact causes Hudson to flip back into the ring. He starts to get up and Chad scoops him up and hits a backbreaker. He follows up with the pin.

Hudson kicks out. He sits up and Chad grabs him and nails him with a forearm shiver. He then whips him into the ropes. Hudson bounces off the ropes and Chad goes for a clothesline. Hudson ducks and stops. Chad turns around and Hudson grabs him and throws him over with a belly to belly suplex. Chad stumbles up again and turns and Hudson scoops him up onto his shoulder and goes for the Kingdom Come. Chad however drops down and grabs Hudson and throws him back with a bridging German suplex.

Hudson kicks out. He rolls over and gets up and Chad double underhooks him and drops him with a backbreaker. Hudson grimaces in pain.

Sharper: “Chad Evans has this cooking now. Backbreaker has Hudson writhing in pain.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, apparently, he was able to get something going finally. Hudson was kicking his ass.”

Sharper: “And Chad now clearly setting up for the Levity. Continuously focusing on that back.”

Hudson stirs, but Chad kicks him hard in the spine. Hudson yells out and Chad grabs him and lifts him up. He then scoops him up and hits another backbreaker. He then goes for the legs. He starts to turn him over as the crowd roars. Hudson however blocks it and manages to grab Chad by the head and nail him with a hard right and then another and another. Chad walks back and Hudson pulls himself up only for Chad to move towards him and Hudson takes him down with a crossface. The crowd roars as Hudson pulls back on the head as Chad yells in pain. Hudson continues to pull back as Evans starts to move towards the ropes. The referee checks on Chad as he continues to reach and slide towards the ropes. Hudson pulls back some more, but Chad turns and reaches and grabs the bottom rope.

Sharper: “And Chad gets to the ropes!”

Knots: “Damn! It would’ve been great to watch him tap out!”

Chad rolls over and stirs before Josh Hudson rolls away and gets up. He waits for Chad to get to his feet. Chad turns around and Hudson lowers his head and hoists him up for the Kingdom Come. Chad however elbows out of it and slides down behind him. He then grabs him by the head and goes for the Overturn. Chad however blocks it and spins around. He then shoves Chad back into the corner. He rears back and shoulders him again before rearing back again and shouldering Chad again. He backs up and pulls him in for a belly to belly suplex. Chad however blocks it and Hudson just muscles him up, but Chad grabs his head and rolls him up into a small package.

The crowd roars and boos and Chad rolls out of the ring. He then throws his arm in the air as the referee drops to the floor and raises his arm. Hudson gets to his knees and looks at Chad.

Sharper: “Chad Evans rolls him up with the small package and steals this win!”

Knots: “The bastard did it and beat Hudson. Hot damn. He got his competition and just was bitten by it!”

Sharper: “And Chad Evans, just days before he faces Kelcey Wallace and Gable Winchester, he picks up a big win.”

Chad Evans smiles before he turns and steps forward and grabs his Bible. He then turns and hands it to the official before raising his arms in the air and starting to head to the back.

The Breakdown logo comes up and we then hear “Rescue Me” in the background. We then see a shot of Syren and her Trios Tournament contract next to her.

Sharper: “Well plenty to come here tonight on Breakdown. We are going to hear from Syren. We’re going to hear from the Board of Directors and we’re going to find out how that contract will be interpreted for Night Two of Riding the Lightning weekend, particularly if Jake Starr loses!”

Knots: “A shame! This is unnecessary stress for her!”

Sharper: “Well we’ll find out what they decide. Marina Trent vs. Katie Steward, Devon Kayl vs. Thirteen and so much more still to come here tonight!”

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns to ringside before Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes blasts across the PA system as the lights come back up again and the screens fill with text.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the stage with the SCW United States Championship over her shoulder. The crowd boos as she starts to walk down to the ring, notably without CHBK.

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor on her way to the ring and this Sunday…”

The Riding the Lightning logo comes up on the screen before we see a shot of Christian Savior before showing a shot of Ravyn Taylor and then the SCW United States Championship, before showing a still of both.

Sharper: “…on Night Two, Ravyn Taylor will defend the US Championship against Christian Savior.”

Knots: “And for some reason, Savior wants CHBK hung over the damn ring in a cage! He’s a legend and he’s treating him with such disrespect!”

Sharper: “Well after all of this involving that video and CHBK getting involved two consecutive title matches, can you blame him?”

Knots: “He’s the Omnipotent Opportunist, isn’t he? Then he should be seeing this coming if he had half a brain. But no. He wants to make excuses!”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Ravyn Taylor coming to the ring now, without CHBK, noticeably.”

Ravyn Taylor walks around the ring as we get a live shot again. She has a microphone in her hand and she leans against the ropes as the crowd boos. Her music fades out. She backs up and looks around before holding up her microphone. She then looks around.

Ravyn: “I suppose this is a scene that one Christian Savior or others would feel is unexpected. Where is the legendary Canadian that has flanked me the last couple of weeks since his return? Where is the great CHBK? Well contrary to Savior’s belief, I do not need him to accomplish whatever I desire. That seems to be the thrust of what Savior is looking to accomplish this Sunday. He’s going to take a legend in this business…someone who has always been casting a shadow that both Savior and his brother had to stand under…and disrespect him by demanding he be placed in a cage and raised above the ring.”

Ravyn scoffs as the crowd as they cheer.

Ravyn: “I regret to inform Savior that firstly, that won’t be necessary. And secondly, that will not be helpful in the slightest. I say that it won’t be necessary because CHBK will not openly be disrespected in such a way and therefore he will not be showing up on Night Two to accompany me to ringside.”

Knots: “Good! He doesn’t deserve that!”

Ravyn: “But I also say that because I don’t need him to beat you. You seem to think that’s the case. The fact is, the first time, you lost because you are easily distracted. The second…well, certainly, CHBK had nothing to do with that either. In fact, that was all the individuals in the production truck, who happened to time a video at a moment more opportune for me. But I mean, that’s been your whole M.O. I mean, you’re an opportunist. You’re the OMNIPOTENT Opportunist. So omnipotent that the moment someone else has an opportunity, you’re unable to do a damn thing. You Christian…are a fraud. And don’t take that so harshly. All I am doing is using the brush you’re painting me with…to paint you.”

Ravyn smiles.

Ravyn: “You are just like all others who most likely thought that I would have no chance at winning this championship right here. Yet I am the reigning and defending United States Champion. And you could argue, as I will, that I have orchestrated this entire rise. Allying with my wife, Syren, with the Next Level and showing our dominance in Tactical Warfare to being the direct reason Christian Savior is even in this discussion right now. I have played everyone as they should be to stand here today. Some talk of chaos. Some have talked of fate. I don’t care for either. I care for what scenario can be put forward and quite simply, Savior has taken advantage of the opportunity I have given him to be in the US Championship picture…but I hand-wrote my path to singles prestige and the US Championship…and I have taken advantage of every opportunity put before me. I DID. And Christian…that had nothing to do with Alex, although at most, your simple-mindedness allowed me to take advantage of a few more opportunities than needed. All it is that Christian…much like Thirteen had last year…I have outplayed you this year and this Sunday, I will show it again when I take advantage of more opportunities and without CHBK even in the building, outplay you yet again. Maybe then you will get the hint-“

Just then, we start getting grainy footage on the big screen, before we see a shot of Christian Savior, somewhere in the building. The crowd cheers upon seeing him.

Savior: “Oh…Ravyn…sorry to interrupt. But well, that seems to be what CHBK likes to do. Also don’t bother talking as there is a good chance that this is taped…or is it live? Who knows? Then again, I know you like videos. You’ve used them many times in the past. With Helms, with some of your allies. With CHBK too. And last week, there was a nice video. Seemed nice and amateurish. Just like your style. I’m surprised you didn’t decide to go to Hollywood. You’ve got the ego for it.”

Savior then grabs the camera, moving it around.

Savior: “You’re probably wondering what the hell I’m doing in what appears to be the back loading areas of this area here in San Diego. I was hoping they’d have one of those nice chained areas, where they’ll put old boxes, garbage, and what not, so I could potentially give CHBK a nice taste of what his future will be, but well, I realized that if he was here, he’s probably just following you around. I mean, the guy’s fifty. And if you’re putting out for him, well, he’s not going to leave that. Not like he has much else going on for him since that hope for one last run ended last year. So I wasn’t going to be taking him out. But then again, that’s not going to stop me from having some camera time. I mean, gotta take advantage of it!”

Savior puts the camera still again before focusing on him. We then get a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking rather unimpressed in the ring.

Savior: “But one thing I probably can use this time for is to work on a bit of a theory I have. I mean, I’ve already mentioned your love of video. And well, I didn’t have to watch that sex tape, but that touch with the Board of Directors…and I was thinking about it…what problem do they have with me. They resigned me. They allowed me to return. They even gave me a shot at the World Championship. Unless they’re pissed about Thirteen being the champion, there’s a lot of other people they are going to screwed over and trust me, I’m not too happy that Thirteen held that belt longer than me. But something doesn’t add up. Plus, the timing…even though D and I aren’t exactly friends…my brother and I aren’t always speaking…this is a bit petty even for them, but who does it reward…someone who is just as hated by both of them…Now, I don’t know…but I’m thinking that some people need to do some deeper thinking about whether there’s a few other problems in this company, especially with that lovely footage on Supreme Saturday where you said you’d take care of it.”

Ravyn smirks.

Savior: “Oh well…that can be something to think about. But I can tell you this…I just handed this to the production truck and told them to play it…I may have requested a time…and a place…and after last Breakdown, let’s just say, the director was happy to oblige…now I wonder what I could get out of it? Hmmm?”

The crowd roars as the camera cuts back to the ring to show Ravyn clearly thinking as we then see Savior squatted down behind her.

Savior: “Maybe it’s just to get in your head…or maybe…I create my own opportunity.”

Savior smirks in the video.

Savior: “Spear….spear…..spear?”

Ravyn then turns around only for Savior to run at her and drill her with the Spear of the Fallen. The crowd roars and Ravyn rolls over, holding her ribs in pain. Savior then gets up and looks at her before smiling.

Sharper: “From behind! Savior just speared the US Champion!”

Knots: “Oh God! Oh God!”

Sharper: “And Ravyn Taylor just found out how that felt for the second consecutive Breakdown. And if CHBK isn’t going to be at Riding the Lightning this Sunday, that could happen. And CHBK wasn’t here to stop it tonight!”

The crowd cheers as Savior continues to smile before turning to Ravyn. Ravyn continues to writhe in pain. He then stands over her a bit and taunts her. Ravyn takes a swing, but Savior jukes back and laughs before exiting the ring. “Metalingus” starts to play and Savior starts to back away from the back.

Sharper: “Distracted Ravyn with a video, just like Ravyn did of him. And then drilling her with the Spear.”

Knots: “Well this Sunday, Ravyn’s going to show Savior why she’s the real opportunist in SCW!”

Sharper: “I’m going to love to see her try, because Savior just showed he’s still got plenty of tricks up his sleeve. And more importantly, I think he may be onto something with his thoughts on that video.”

Knots: “What? Ravyn had nothing to do with it!”

Sharper: “I’m not so sure!”

The crowd continues to cheer Savior as Ravyn continues to wince in pain and we head backstage.

The scene opens up backstage where we see Orlando Cruze, coffee from catering in hand, talking to one of the officials backstage.

Orlando: “Look, do I feel bad for the kid? Sure. Andre Jordan. Hoped to make it his moment. But he’s got an injury. Sprained ankle, concussion, whatever. He’s out. It didn’t matter to me.”

The official goes to speak, but Orlando just continues.

Orlando: “And with Lyman and whatever that guy is called…N…Q…”

Official: “N.M.E.”

Orlando: “That’s it. They’re in action tonight. Good for them. Get a final tune-up. I won’t need it. I’m focusing on one thing.”

Orlando takes a sip of his coffee.

Orlando: “Winning the Adrenaline Championship on Sunday.”

Orlando smiles.

Sharper: “Orlando Cruze seems quite confident.”

Knots: “Why not? He’s getting it done in the ring.”

Sharper: “We’ll find out this Saturday. But his opponents will be in action tonight. He’ll see exactly what he’s up again. That and much more still to come here on Breakdown.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we open up in one of the dark areas in the backstage area. We then see Marina Trent, one of the few lit up objects in the room. She looks right at the camera.

Marina: “Forgive Shilo for not choosing to speak now as you would have liked Thirteen. But he is not one who feels the need to dignify your goading with a response. Instead, he prefers to use visuals.”

Marina smiles. We then see a noose drop down beside her. Marina then turns and grabs the noose with her hand and holds it.

Marina: “A noose…the traditional apparatus for the match knows as Hangman’s Horror. The goal…choke your opponent to the point of unconsciousness. And that will happen on Sunday night after Shilo and I win the World Tag Team Championships. But who…and how. See, this year…this item here…while as fun and archaic as it is…another aspect has been introduced.”

The camera angle changes and we then see two hands, covered in leather gloves extended in the spotlight, if you will. The camera slowly pans out to reveal those as Shilo’s.

Marina: “This time…one’s bare hands can be used. And while you may be adept at your Last Breath submission hold. Shilo showed on Supreme Saturday that he can be just as devastating. The playing field is even. A personal battle comes center stage. The spotlight will be lit. And all of the drama will unfold when two men look to choke the other out. Quite simply, I don’t need to say who I will be rooting for and who will win in our view. But I will say….how entertaining….”

The camera focuses back on Shilo’s hands.

“NECRO!”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

Ana Diaz vs. Vanessa Raymond

The crowd roars. “Ignite” by Fireflight hits over the crowd, bringing the crowd to their feet.

A single spotlight shines down on top of the ramp, and Diaz can be seen standing in the centre of it, not moving, but rotating on a turnstile in place. Once she is facing the ramp, the music picks up and she jumps out of the spotlight. The lights come on as the crowd erupts.

Anastasia walks down the ramp to the end of it, where she drops her shawl down to the ramp behind her.

Sharper: “The debut for Ana Diaz here in SCW. She is going to look to turn some heads.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, great time to do it before everyone goes for blood this weekend!”

“Like Me” by Girlicious plays throughout the arena. The crowd buzzes as Vanessa Raymond walks out from the back. She throws her arm in the air as she heads to the ring. She slides in and looks at the newcomer before getting to her feet.

Sharper: “Vanessa Raymond is going to look to make an impact here tonight on Breakdown.”

Knots: “Yeah. Maybe actually win.”

Sharper: “Things haven’t gone her way in the start of her career thus far. But that will turn the corner as she picks up great experience.”

The bell sounds. Vanessa and Diaz walk around the ring before moving in and Diaz quickly nails her with a shot to the ribs before jumping up and nailing an enziguri. Vanessa hits the mat and Diaz goes for the quick win.

Vanessa kicks out. Diaz turns and grabs Vanessa and lifts her up before snapmaring her down. She elbows her in the back of the head and hits a dropkick. The crowd boos as Vanessa rolls over in pain. Diaz gets up and smirks.

Sharper: “Diaz is going right after Vanessa. Aggressive. Taking her down. Keeping her there.”

Knots: “Yeah and Vanessa hasn’t a clue where she is. She’s getting her ass kicked right now.”

Diaz turns and grabs Vanessa and runs her into the ropes. Vanessa bounces off the ropes and Diaz lowers her head. Vanessa kicks her in the chest. She turns and runs into the ropes. Diaz however clothesline Vanessa down. She goes for the pin.

Vanessa kicks out. Diaz turns and goes into a reverse chinlock. Vanessa reaches out as the crowd boos a bit. Diaz looks out and glares before Vanessa starts to slowly turn. Vanessa gets her legs under her as the crowd roars a bit. Diaz holds on and keeps the pressure on before Vanessa elbows her in the ribs. She elbows her again and then again. She turns and runs and Diaz goes to pull the hair, but Vanessa manages to run faster out. She bounces off the ropes and jumps up and grabs Diaz’s head, hitting a tornado DDT.

Sharper: “Nice DDT by Vanessa Raymond. Ana Diaz down in pain.”

Knots: “Holy crap. That was nice. Looked pretty good too.”

Vanessa rolls over and starts to get up as Diaz does as well. She then runs over and nails her with a running knee lift. She follows up with a pin.

Diaz kicks out. The crowd sighs. Vanessa then starts to get up and grabs Diaz. Diaz however rakes the eyes. She jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking her down. Diaz then rolls over and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and hits a dropkick to the knees. Vanessa hits the mat. Diaz then turns and exits to the apron. She starts to climb up to the top rope. She dives off and Vanessa ducks a flying clothesline. Diaz starts to get up as Vanessa runs into the ropes. She bounces off and jumps up, spinning around Diaz and connecting with the Talk That Talk. The crowd ohs and Vanessa turns and goes for the pin.

The crowd roars a bit as Vanessa rolls off and throws her arms in the air.

Knots: “Holy crap!”

Sharper: “She did it! Vanessa Raymond with a hell of a victory here on Breakdown!”

Knots: “I don’t believe it.”

Vanessa starts to get up and has her arms raised before suddenly the arena lights cut out completely as a chorus of mariachi trumpets ring from the speaker system, before the guitars and drums of "Te Quiero Puta" by Rammstein kicks in! As the song kicks into full flow, an explosion of pyro's goes off on either side of the stage, with the two members of the El Grande Burritos - Taco and Bell - leaping up through trapdoors on either side of the stage, holding a sloppy looking burrito in either hand.

Sharper: “What the hell…”

Knots: “Great…”

Taco then reveals a microphone in his other hand and goes to speak. We then see Miguel run out from the back and grab the microphone. He turns to them, starting to yell at them furtively as Taco and Bell just look at him through their masks, almost clueless. Vanessa just looks at them completely confused. Miguel then turns around.

Miguel: “You! You…capitalist slut! You keep standing there and be victorious! Taco and Bell will rain death upon your compatriots! ASTA LA VISTA!”

Miguel then turns and with the microphone a bit too close, yells at them again.

Miguel: “Wrong ones! What is the matter with you! Jesus!”

Miguel then walks off to the back before Taco and Bell turn to the ring before Taco yells into his burrito, although no one can hear him, before Bell finishes, by yelling into his burrito and the two then quickly head to the back. The crowd just buzzes as Vanessa just shakes her head in disbelief as we then head backstage.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jack sitting in a chair in the middle of a locker room. We then see a board in front of him with a picture of Kelcey Wallace posing on it. We then see Gable Winchester pacing back and forth in front of it, a pointing stick in hand. He then turns and abrupt swings the stick to the picture.

Gable: “This….Jack….is Kelcey Wallace. She says she is perfect. But I…GABLE WINCHESTER….Man of Win…writer of the Book of Win…and TRIOS TOURNAMENT SHOT HOLDER, BAY-BAY!....will show you she is not that. That way you won’t be swayed by her tricks…he evil, witchy, devilish tricks!”

Jack: “I’m sorry about last Breakdown. But I swear, I’m not going anywhere.”

Gable: “Well I’m going to make sure of it. We’re going to make sure you know I’m the best option for you period.”

Jack sighs a bit.

Gable: “No sighing! Now!”

Gable turns back to the picture.

Gable: “If you look right there…there’s a freckle!”

Gable then scans the picture again.

Gable: “And there’s a mole…and I bet, if this was from the other side, she’d have a tail!”

Jack: “They airbrush those photos…”

Gable: “Oh…yes…that too…so she doesn’t even get perfect airbrushing! See! Right there! Important things! She’s full of lies! And deceit! And lying deceit!”

Jack: “I understand.

Gable: “Plus!”

Gable pulls the picture off the wall, throwing it to the floor.

Gable “If that was perfect…that wouldn’t be crumpled or ripped. She gets posters on cheap paper!”

Jack: “You prin-“

Gable: “Jack!”

Jack: “Sorry…I won’t doubt you.”

Gable: “Plus, there are two more important facts about her that PROVE that Kelcey Wallace is NOT perfect.”

Jack looks at Gable wide-eyed.

Gable: “Take out your pad and paper. Write this down.”

Jack does just that.

Gable: “First off…..she lost in the tournament that I won my TRIOS TOURNAMENT SHOT, BAYBAY!....and secondly…who starts a Perfect group with Blake Mason. Please!”

Jack: “Also, what about the fact that she isn’t Gable Winchester?”

Gable just nods.

Gable: “Ah, you get the bonus marks. You’ve done well against Kelcey…but more studying must be done to ensure you remain my apprentice. Let’s go.”

Gable turns back as Jack just rolls his eyes behind Gable as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

N.M.E. vs. Joss Morrison

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a twenty minute time limit...”

Lucifer Mortuus Diabolus. Nec Deus Nec Arch Angelus.
HAHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAA!

Phillips: “Hailing from Kirov, U.S.S.R, he weighed in tonight at two-hundred and twelve pounds... N. M. E!”

'Now!'
The lights flash and the crowd roars as 'The Animal' by Disturbed plays through the arena. The titantron shows the eyes of a beast. The crowd holds up their signs that say 'From Russia Without Love!' 'XYZ!', and 'I Have Stockholm Syndrome!'.

'I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again'

Meanwhile, the camera goes a random spot in the SCW Arena as a motorcycle bursts past the camera and towards the ring.

For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer in this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

From one of the audience exits, we see the motorcycle emerge. The biker raises his arm as the crowd goes nuts. He does not wear a helmet but rather a helm of a rat on it with eyes that match the titantron's.

'For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes'

The man gets off the bike. The fans know the mask. They know the man: Ivan Kirov.

Sharper: “There is the ever strange N.M.E looking to make a statement tonight before his huge match at Riding the Lightning Night One for a shot at David Helms on Night Two!”

Knots: “That’s right, he’ll be taking on Orlando Cruze and Simon Lymon, that’ should be one hell of a match.”

Sharper: “Couldn’t agree more Jonathan.”

I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

Kirov starts walking down the stairway towards the ring, zipping open his biker jacket and low fiving the fans.

'We begin the hunt and I
Feel the power course, as the creatures take flight
For the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight'

He hops over the security wall and slides into the ring, staying on all fours for a second and looking around with a fire in his eyes.

'For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight'

He gets up, taking off his leather jacket and tossing it out of the ring while he goes to the turnbuckle, mouthing to the audience, 'трахают страха' ('Fuck Fear!') before closing his eyes and taking in a deep breath while raising his head to the sky. Slowly, he raises his right hand and puts it over half of his face while his left grips the right's wrist, the symbol for the Bite.

'And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight'

With his hand, he takes off his helm, lowering his hood in the process. He then poses again for the crowd, arms outstretched while waiting for his opponent’s introduction.

Phillips: “And his opponent...”

"Evolution, Entering a New World" hit the PA system as the fans begin to cheer. Joss Morrison soon walks out to the entrance ramp with Allison Ford. Morrison's sporting a black trenchcoat with the Mustang emblem on the back and a red mask with designs on the front with his wine bottle in his head. Morrison takes a swig and lets someof it drips from the mouth of his mask onto his chest. Morrison plays to the crowd by running to each side of the entrance ramp, trying to get the crowd up.

We feel the power flowing through us
Why are we so scared? We're not alone
Free your emotions and scream from your heart
It rouses now feel that you're alive

Joss walks down the ramp continuing to drink the wine and spitting it out on a few occasions. He soon walks up the steel steps as the fans cheer him on.

Phillips: “Accompanied to the ring by Allison Ford, from Columbus, Ohio weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds, he is the self proclaimed "King of the Underground", Joss "Mustang" Morrison!

Knots: “Hey look, its joss Morrison I thought he died.”

Sharper: “What?!”

Knots: “Sorry, I meant his career... What, I haven’t seen him for a while!”

Joss quickly jumps on the turnbuckle and removes his mask, gaining cheers from the fans. Allison stays on the outside as Morrison stares at the crowd playing to the crowd while yelling to himself, getting hyped. Joss soon takes another long swig of his wine and spits it back out before jumping off the turnbuckle with a wicked smirk on his face but as he turns around we see N.M.E who was playing with that yo-yo of his lunge forward and throw it towards the face of Morrison before snapping it back quickly. It never hits Morrison but he flinches incredibly as if it had before dropping to teh canvas to laughter from the crowd.

Knots: “Ha! That was actually pretty funny...”

Sharper: “N.M.E trying to get into the head of the young Morrison.”

Joss gets to his feet with a look of surprise on his face as the bell sounds and both men are quick to get to the center and lock horns like to raging bulls fighting for territory. Joss manages to get the upper hand and applies an arm bar, wrenching away at the wrist. N.M.E however quickly reverses and pushes Joss to the ropes and Irish whips him. Joss sprints across the ring and ducks a clothesline attempt form N.M.E only to leap onto the middle rope and spring board back and connecting with an elbow to the Russians face.

Sharper: “Joss catching N.M.E off guard there that will be the kind of thing he will have to expect on Saturday and possibly Sunday!”

Knots: “I’m impressed, maybe that rice wine is like what spinach is to Popeye, only rather than make him strong it lets Joss think straight!”

N.M.E is quick to his feet however much like Joss, the two locking up again. Joss getting a knee to the gut this time and a follow up with an European uppercut. N.M.E sends Joss into a corner with a whip and tries to hit with a diving splash, but Joss manages to move to the side, N.M.E catching nothing but corner. The crowd ooh’s a little as they get behind the former YNFTT member and cheer even louder as N.M.E turns around only to get caught with a step up enziguri form the unpredictable Joss Morrison! N.M.E looks stunned as he drops to his knees and then falls to the canvas. Joss leaping across and rolling him over and covering.

1... Kick out by N.M.E! Morrison holds his head in disappointment as he rolls off, N.M.E shaking the cobwebs out as he rolls away as well. Joss is the first to his feet and walks over to his opponent now and pulls him up before leading him to the corner. Afterwards he connects with a stiff knife edge chop to the chest, getting the customary wooo from the crowd.

Sharper: “The crowd really getting behind the kid tonight, he must be relishing it”

Knots: “Certainly looks like it, I can’t say I have seen him look this good in quite a while...”

Another chop to the chest and Morrison leaps onto the legs of N.M.E and holds onto the back of his head and falls back sending the Russian flying across the ring with a monkey flip! The crowd pops loudly as Joss kip flips to his feet almost stunned that everything’s going well at this time and quickly runs to the corner as N.M.E remains down. He scales the turnbuckle but as he does N.M.E leaps to his feet and lunges to the ropes, Joss crotching himself on the corner to an oooh from teh crowd.

Knots: “Well there goes his chance of having any kids, although I’m glad that he may never procreate...”

Sharper: “you’re on fire tonight are you, you won’t let anyone have a moment.”

Knots: “It’s what I do, sue me.”

As Joss winces in pain, N.M.E gets to his feet and make his way to the corner and connects with a stiff right hand to the face of Joss, he hits another before scaling the corner now and locks in a front face lock. After that and a super plex later, the crowd “ooohs” and buzzes with excitement as N.M.E covers Joss.

1...

2... Kickout by Joss! The potential number one contender to the Adrenaline Title rolls off Joss and gets to his knees before looking down at Morrison with a little distain now. Pulling the Mustang to his feet, N.M.E Whips him to the ropes and doubles over hitting a back body drop before turning around and leaping up and dropping a leg across the throat of Joss Morrison before rolling back to his feet and hitting the ropes and charging towards the prone Morrison. N.M.E then shows off some outstanding athletic ability as he leaps up and twists in the air, landing with a splash onto Morrison for the cover.

1...

2... Kick out by Morrison!

Sharper: “Joss not looking to give up just yet, though the crotching on the corner, followed by that superplex certainly looks to have put a halt to his momentum!”

Knots: “Ask anyone, a move to the groin is gonna knock the winds out of anyone’s sails!”

Again N.M.E gets to his knee and sneers a little more now as he pulls Joss to his feet and drags him over to a corner before scooping him up and tying him up in a tree of woe. N.M.E backs away and charges at the corner and hits a basement drop kick to Joss Morrison’s face, outside Allison covers her face at the punishment Joss is going through now as the fans all try to rally behind the young star. N.M.E just seems to feed off it though as he get to his feet and proceeds to kick the hell out of the midsection of Joss Morrison.

Sharper: “I think N.M.E is trying to send a message to his opponents on Saturday night.”

Knots: “He’s probably also taking out some frustration from the loss to Kelcey Wallace as well.”

Sharper: “That is also true, incredible match and you can’t really fault Kelcey Wallace as she’s been on a role since joining.”

Knots: “She is the Perfect 10 after all!”

Back in the ring though, N.M.E has Morrison lock into a dragon sleeper which he is trying valiantly to fight out of as he swings a knee at N.M.E and manages to catch him forcing a break. Rolling to the canvas Joss holds his throat as he gets to his feet but N.M.E is quick off the mark and leaps up applying a front face lock and twisting around before implanting Joss into the canvas with a tornado DDT! The crowd erupts as N.M.E gets to his feet and waits patiently now, like a wolf waiting to pounce on its prey...

Sharper: “DDT to Joss, that’ could very well be the game changer N.M.E was looking for!”

Joss rolls over holding his head as Allison is trying to warn him but has no affect as he pushes himself to his feet. Then as he turns around, N.M.E charges at Morrison and grabs his throat before lifting him up and slamming him down with a vicious choke slam while holding onto his throat for a pin attempt.

1...

2...

3!!! The bell sounds as N.M.E is quick to get to his feet as Joss holds his throat again and is coughing, fighting for air from what is only known as N.M.E’s ultimate move in his arsenal. The official checks on the young star as 'The Animal' by Disturbed plays over the p.a system. The fans however starting up an N.M.E chant as he stands on the second turnbuckle motioning for them to get louder and louder.

Sharper: “Joss had the early going on surprise factor there, but ultimately N.M.E had the determination to get the job done with surgical precision.”

Knots: “I hate to admit it, but N.M.E could very well be the dark horse to get the #1 contenders spot for night 2. However David Helms has taken on all comers and walked away the winner, he’s one of the best and only the fifth ever SCW Supreme Champion. That is nothing to discount at all.2

Sharper: “It certainly isn’t, but that match looks to hold three of the brightest talents in SCW to date. Orlando Cruze needs no introduction with his accolades. Simon Lyman, is a man whose career spans sixteen years and then you have the unpredictably dangerous N.M.E who has an axe to grind, and a point to prove that he can get the job done! The question is which of these three will do just that.”

The scene opens up backstage as we see Jessica Winters standing next to Kelcey Wallace outside of the Perfect World locker room.

Winters: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Kelcey Wallace and this Sunday, you are going to be in a big triple threat match against Chad Evans and Gable Winchester. What are your thoughts?”

Kelcey smiles a bit. El Cuchillo then comes into view.

Kelcey: “I could say a lot about the fact that both of my opponents are more egotistical than most in this company. One keeps talking about how he’s the Man of Win and how he’s got a contract he could do anything with, flaunting the fact that most likely, he hasn’t a clue what to do. Hardly perfect. And the other is coming to the ring, claiming to be a man of God…formerly having called himself God…a downgrade. Identity crisis. No…just two flawed people that clearly need to realize that their stock is going down while mine…well, it’s never wavered. It’s always been at the top. It’s always been, well, perfect.”

Kelcey smiles.

Kelcey: “We offer opportunity. We did that for Jack and now Gable is trying to get that out of his head. But he, like all others, know that I offer hope and I offer a plan to be one’s best. And one’s best is what I will be this Sunday. This Sunday, I will be perfect…and defeat a former US champion and a former World Champion.”

Winters: “Thank you Kelcey. Good luck this Sunday.”

The Breakdown logo then comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Marina Trent vs. Katie Steward come up on the screen.

Sharper: “Plenty to come here tonight, including Katie Steward and Marina Trent clashing one on one. A big match just days before big weekends for both.”

Knots: “And much more!”

Sharper: “Breakdown returns after this!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Can’t Touch It” starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd roars before starting to boo. A few moments pass before we then see Regan Street walk out from the back with the SCW Women’s Championship over her shoulder. A few more moments pass and we see David Helms saunter out after her as the crowd boots even more.

Sharper: “And there is the individual that will face Jake Starr on Night One of Riding the Lightning weekend, but I think something has to be said about the person with her!”

Knots: “David Helms is coming out here. Oh boy, this is going to be great.”

The crowd continues to boo and Street and Helms walk over to the ring. Street walks up the steel steps and then enters the ring. She looks around as Helms walks up after her before entering the ring. Regan walks around before going over to the corner and asking for a microphone. She takes it before turning and walking around the ring. She looks around as the crowd continues to boo. She just smirks as her music fades out.

Regan: “Oh are people really that surprised?!”

The crowd boos more.

Regan: “I’ve always been one to make the important and correct business choices in my career. From working with Madelyne…to joining up with Rachel…to now standing in this ring with David Helms, I think you all are smart enough to put together the puzzle pieces and make a few conclusions.”

Regan pauses for a moment.

Regan: “But if you’re not, allow me to state this for those like Jake Starr, who’s head is probably so far up his ass, he gets to re-eat the McDonald’s he had this morning.”

Regan pauses.

Regan: “This weekend, Riding the Lightning will have only one possible resolution. Dark Fantasy, Next Level, Our Alliance…it will leave with the World Championship in its midst.”

The crowd boos loudly.

Sharper: “I think that makes that clear.”

Knots: “Crystal.”

Regan: “You can say I’ve sold my soul, but the fact is, I’m following it. I have an opportunity I never was afforded and likely was going to have to wait some time to get. David and I, we’ve had some conversations. We’ve gotten along backstage. And no, for those who rely on toilet humour to try and get into people’s heads, it is nothing like you imagine. And two weeks ago, we were left with a choice. We could compete in the ring, leave it all in this ring to determine who would stand up to Jake Starr. But…well…allow me to let David explain.”

David smiles as he steps forward, getting only more boos as Regan hands him the microphone. He turns to the crowd.

David: “Oh please. I love that sound now.”

The boos only continue as David smirks. He then looks around before turning to the main camera.

Helms: “See, I would love to knock Starr around AGAIN and AGAIN for the World Championship, but the fact is…I’ve been there done that…not the World Title. I would always love another go, but the fact that Jake Starr just can’t get it done against me…that’s more than good enough for me. And I’ve already got a dance card full come Saturday night. I already have Shilo Valiant and Marina Trent and we’re going to paint California red with the blood of that goose and end the Jester’s laughter. And once Shilo was gone…well…Regan…she deserved this shot. Now I know what you’re thinking…what about Syren? Doesn’t this complicate that?”

Helms smirks.

Helms: “Later tonight, we’ll find out if the Board of Directors wants to keep playing games and just make it clear when they’re screwing over their number one attraction in Syren. But consider it an insurance policy…and if not…consider it an early gift as you will see on Night Two, when Regan is successful, a true dream match of the two greatest women’s wrestlers in this industry going at it for the top prize in the game. Sound good to you?!”

Regan takes the microphone back as David walks around the ring. Regan then turns and smirks.

Regan: “Sounds perfect…and it’s what I’m looking forward to. To stand in this ring and compete against the World Champion on Night One and then a future legend and half of famer on Night Two…arguably the greatest Women’s Champion while I stand as World Champion…and she is trying to take my gold. That is what this business is about. The two best going at it and competing for the richest prizes in this sport. Something Jake Starr forgets. Something Jake Starr loves to flirt around. And something Jake Starr will never have to worry about actually giving a damn about again as this weekend will see me end his reign…and Syren and I will make it clear to him that his time has come and is over!”

Just then, we see Syren walking down the rampway towards the ring. The crowd boos some more and Regan turns to David as David turns to her and nods before turning and walking over to the ropes. She drops down to the floor and heads over to her. Syren then walks over to Helms before Helms is cut off. The camera gets in close.

Syren: “Look…I’m fine with her with us. I’m fine with her in the group. I’m fine with her getting the shot. But you’re coming out with her.”

Helms: “Whoa…relax. Just helping her out a bit.”

Syren: “Well what about me? Ravyn’s still down from earlier and later tonight, I may be getting screwed in front of the world.”

Some fans cheer nearby hearing that.

Helms: “Relax. If they do something, we’ll fight it.”

Syren: “How…just….”

Knots: “The poor thing is worried and rightfully show. She may get screwed. She just want Helms by her side. If I was him, I’d be tripping over myself, risking leg injuries and all to give her all the support she needs.”

Sharper: “I’m sure you would. I think Syren’s just stressed and Helms…well, I don’t know.”

Knots: “You heard them. This is nothing more than Helms helping out his friend.”

Regan: “Syren…Syren!”

Syren turns to her as Helms just looks over.

Regan: “Look. I’m not trying to step on your toes. I saw what you did last Fall, it was impressed. I just want a chance at that and if I get it, if the Board screws you over, they’re robbing the fans of the greatest match they’ll ever witness between two wrestlers who would compete their hearts out for the World Championship!”

Syren turns away a bit.

Helms: “See…she gets it!”

Syren: “I’m not doubting that….I just…I just needed you tonight…I finally have Starr in the match I want and they’re going to fuc[bleep] it up! I’ll kick her ass too and we can tear the house down, but I want my f[bleep…]–tch! I want STARR! I want to take that title from HIM!”

Syren turns away a bit as the crowd roars. Just then, we turn back to the ring.

Sharper: “Wait a minute!”

Knots: “Syren! Helms! Regan!”

Sharper: “The World Champion is in the ring! Regan doesn’t know!”

Starr stands in the ring, with the World Championship in his hand. He just smirks as Regan keeps focusing on Syren before looking up to the big screen. She then starts to turn, but Starr runs over and drills her in the back of the head with the World Championship. Regan hits the mat. Helms then turns and so does Syren. Both turn and slide into the ring. Starr grabs the microphone before rolling out of the ring and backing up to the barricade. He then steps over and looks up in the ring and flips both Syren and Helms off before stepping into the crowd. He then walks down the walkway before turning around, while surrounded by some of the fans and security. The crowd just cheers loudly.

Sharper: “Jake Starr just struck and took out Regan Street using the World Championship!”

Knots: “Where the hell did he come from?!”

Sharper: “Syren and Helms now in the ring and Regan is slow to get up.”

Knots: “And the coward runs through the crowd!”

Starr looks out at the crowd.

Starr: “Welcome to the World Title picture Regan. And Syren…I don’t care what crap you’re going on about with your bitch over there. Regan, you want to talk about how it’s a done deal. Well, nuh-uh. Not going that way. You don’t know me too well Regan, but you don’t tell me that I’m not going to succeed at something. That’s just not how I roll. This Saturday, I’m going to welcome you full on to the World Championship ranks and show you why I am Champion. That was just a warning shot.”

Starr then smirks as the crowd roars.

Starr: “And Syren, I don’t know what the Board is thinking. But I’ll tell you this…one way or another, I’ve got a date with you in a cage. And maybe you should probably not give a damn about whether they say one or another, because I will be World Champion and you’re going to get your shot. And I’ll be sure to give your plastic surgeon plenty of work when I knock your ass all around that steel cage. But tonight….you and I…we’re gonna meet again. Because I think Syren, you’re the one that needs to get your head screwed on right! One down…one to go…a nice preview of this weekend if you ask me!”

Starr smirks before holding the World Title over his head. Regan starts to get up and glares at Starr as Syren just looks at Starr. Helms helps Regan up as the crowd cheers. “Uprising” by Muse starts to play as the cheers continue. Starr smirks as he backs up and starts to make his way through the crowd.

Starr: “A message from the World Champion!”

Knots: “And he’s not done?!”

Sharper: “It doesn’t sound like it. He’s gunning for Syren!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Starr continues to make his way through the crowd. Syren focuses on him the entire time before we head to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Marina Trent vs. Katie Steward

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system. Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen.

Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls. Katie produces her famous smiles for the live audience. Katie starts her walk down the ramp to ringside. TJ Johnson exists from behind the curtain and follows his Goddess.

Once she reaches ringside, Katie folds her arms over chest and looks back over her shoulder at TJ Johnson waiting for him to do his job. When he sees that “look”, he immediately runs past her and enters into the ring. He signals for the microphone from the ring announcer and when he hesitates, T.J. snatches it from his hand. Next T.J. excitedly waves everyone out of the ring. All the while Katie was fixing her hair at ringside ignoring what T.J. was doing. She walks over to the steel ring step and awaits her introduction.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
They call me stuck up, but I'm not at all
Never mind, I am (I am)
It's not my fault I'm the shit
Yeah I am
And I'm a bad ass bitch (hey!)

The camera’s view returns to Katie Steward as she stands at ringside fixing her coat. She looks up spreads her arms out wide and smiles the Famous smile for her glorious introduction as some of the fans have already begun to boo her and show how much they dislike and disrespect for her.

TJ Johnson: And finally, the reason why we have all come here tonight… She is The Queen of Queens, The Goddess of Desire, The SCW’s own Crown Jewel. Get your cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….

Katie gracefully walks up the steel ring steps and onto the apron. She bends down enters the rings between the middle ropes that T.J. holds down for her. She walks over to the opposite corner and climbs onto the ropes. She takes off her lovely coat revealing her beautiful wrestling attire. Many in the crowd start to take snap shots of their Goddess. Katie jumps down and walks to the other corner to pose and climbs up on the middle ropes just as the lighting returns to normal and the music dies. Katie does one last pose for the fans then she jumps down and walks towards T.J.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the flyest of them all
It's me, bow down get on your knees
Where's my queens?
Who reigns supreme?
Let me hear you scream
Whooo!

TJ Johnson smiles down at Katie, before bowing slightly. He takes the microphone and joins the announcing team for some unbiased journalism.

Sharper: “TJ Johnson looks to be about to join us, but Katie Steward is about to go at it against a former rival of hers just days before she faces Devon Kayl on Night Two.”

Knots: “Yeah and she has to face Marina and you think with all of this going on with the Tag Titles she wouldn’t mind some extra momentum. Even though she’s gotta team with Shilo!”

Johnson takes a seat and puts on the headset.

Knots: “Howdy jackass.”

Johnson: “You just shut up now. A real colour commentator will call this match.”

Knots: “Shawn’s here?!”

"The Hand that Feeds" by Nine-Inch Nails plays as the lights to a bright white color onto the rampway. The fans cheer and yell their support as a light fog of black and white smoke settles along the ramp way and spills outwards, swirling. With all in place, a figure raises from under the mist, her back to the audience, who can only see the silk silver of a cape with feathers designed on them and long, brown hair with black feathers in them.

Running her hands through her hair and down her body sensually to the music, she earns excited cries and wolf calls from the audience. Turning slowly, the audience sees the dark eyes and gently smiling face of the Black Swan, Marina Trent. With a sudden turn, the lights flare white and pyrotechnics rain down, adding to the spectacle.

The Black Swan makes her way down the ramp, her body swaying with every step and staring at the arena darkly - a predator claiming her ground. Reaching the right side of the ring, she pulls herself up with ease and stays there for a moment before powering off with a high-flying backflip over the ropes and landing on her feet in the centre of the ring. Finally, running up to the bottom left turnbuckle, continuing her stride until she has launched herself up, balancing on the ropes, the Black Swan blows a kiss with both hands. She teases her audience and subjects demurely with this display before launching off from her precarious position on the top ropes into a graceful, but deadly dive of SCW's resident dare devil. The moment her feet hit the ring's centre, as she lands cleanly in a huntress crouch, the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Marina Trent, this Sunday, we’ve mentioned it, she’ll team up with Shilo Valiant for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.”

Knots: “Saturday, you idiot!”

Sharper: “Sorry…Saturday.”

Johnson: “He just knows the real battle will be on Sunday when Katie shuts Devon Kayl once and for all!”

The bell sounds and Katie turns to Marina and tells her to stay back. Katie stretches out a bit. Marina rolls her eyes before then starting to move forward. Katie then backs up and steps one foot out of the ring. Marina stops and is backed up by the official. The crowd boos as Katie looks at her. She then steps in and Marina starts to move back in again. Katie steps out again. Marina rolls her eyes and steps forward, but Katie rakes her eyes. Marina steps back and Katie kicks her in the ribs and nails her with a forearm to the jaw before turning and whipping her into the ropes. Marina bounces off the ropes and Katie elbows her down. She goes for the pin.

Marina kicks out. The crowd boos Katie as she stomps Marina in the side and then again. Marina rolls over and Katie stomps her again. Marina uses the ropes to pull herself up and Katie kicks her in the ribs and clubs her in the back. Marina stumbles over to the corner.

Johnson: “Look at the fight in our Goddess! Taking it to that horrible Swan!”

Knots: “Yeah. Helps when she has to rake the eyes and stomp the holy hell out of her.”

Sharper: “Marina in the corner as Katie just continues to go after her. Perhaps some of that frustration as a result of not getting that title shot getting to her.”

Johnson: “She was angered intensely by that. That was her shot! It should’ve been!”

Knots: “We could say the same damn thing for Marina Trent!”

Katie kicks her in the ribs. She then scoops her up and slams her down.

Marina kicks out. She starts to get up and Katie dropkicks her down. Marina rolls over and stirs and Katie grabs her and lifts her up, but Marina elbows her in the ribs. She elbows her again. Katie elbows her in the back of the head. She turns and runs into the ropes. Marina however jumps up and hit a jumping calf kick to the jaw. The crowd cheers and Katie gets back up and Marina jumps up and twists before taking Katie down with a headscissors. Katie rolls through and gets up to the ropes. Marina runs at her, but Katie elbows her in the ribs. She then runs out and clotheslines her down before going for the pin.

Marina kicks out. She rolls over and Katie glares at the official.

Johnson: “Already these slow counts.”

Sharper: “Seemed fine to me.”

Johnson: “But you’re against her. You want her to fail.”

Knots: “Guilty as charged!”

Marina starts to get up and Katie turns and grabs her. She whips her into the ropes. Marina bounces off the ropes and Katie goes for a back drop. Marina spins through and lands behind her. She then dropkicks Katie in the back of the head and Katie stumbles forward and goes through the ropes to the floor. Katie remains on her feet and leans against the barricade. She turns around and Marina runs over and grabs the top rope and hits a corkscrew vaulting press onto Katie. The crowd roars. (1) Marina gets up as Katie stirs.(2) Marina turns and drives Katie face first into the top turnbuckle.(3) Katie stumbles back and Marina rolls her into the ring. Marina then hops onto the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. Katie gets up and Marina dives off and nails her with a missile dropkick. The crowd cheers. Marina goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Missile dropkick! The cover by Marina!”

Knots: “Coming back in a big way!”

Katie gets her shoulder up and rolls over. The crowd ohs. Marina gets up and Katie stirs. Marina grabs her and hits a Russian leg sweep. She then hits a standing moonsault. She goes for another pin.

Katie kicks out. Marina gets up and Katie slowly gets up. Marina runs into the ropes and bounces off. She nails Katie with a flying clothesline. She then gets up and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope. Katie starts to get up and Marina dives off and goes for a crossbody, but Katie ducks. Marina hits the mat and rolls through. Katie then runs over and jumps up, hitting the Botox Injection. Marina falls back into the corner. Katie then pulls her out and throws her down.

Johnson: “Take that Marina!”

Sharper: “Botox Injection hits it perfect! The cover!”

Marina kicks out. She rolls over and Katie gets up. She grabs Marina and hits a back suplex. She then turns and climbs up the turnbuckle. She stands on the top and goes for the praying moonsault, but Marina gets her knees up. The crowd ohs and Katie rolls over in pain. She gets up and Marina gets to her feet and nails Katie with a forearm. She turns and Marina bends her back before hitting the Eye of the Storm. She turns and goes for the pin.

Katie kicks out. She starts to get up and Marina runs over and hits a running DDT as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Marina picking up the pace and again using her athleticism and speed to get the advantage firmly in her grasp!”

Johnson: “She had the hair there too.”

Knots: “Yeah, yeah. Just like Katie has nearly won this at least six hundred times in this match.”

Johnson: “Damn right!”

Katie remains down and Marina hooks the leg for the pin.

Katie shoots her shoulder up. Marina rolls over. She then gets up and looks over at Katie. She grabs her and drags her up before wrenching her in the arm and pulling her into a knee. She turns and goes for the Crown-Jewel, but Katie nails her in the ribs and then again and again. She then turns and grabs her by the head and hits the Hair-Flip DDT. The crowd ohs and Marina ends up on her back. Katie then rolls over and starts to get up. She turns and goes for the pin as the crowd roars.

Suddenly, Katie is pulled out of the ring.

Johnson: “Hey! What! Come on!”

Knots: “Well we’ve got company! Devon Kayl wants to get in on this!”

Sharper: “Devon Kayl coming to ringside! He just pulled Katie out!”

The referee calls for the bell as Kayl grabs Katie and shoves her hard, back first, into the side of the ring. He then lifts her up and drives her face first into the top of the barricade. The crowd ohs and roars. Johnson leaves the announce table and starts to walk around and Kayl just steps towards him. He backs away. Katie starts to get up and Kayl jumps to the apron before diving off and tackling her down with a variation of his springboard spear. The crowd ohs. Kayl then rolls off and starts to get up. As he does, we then see Tommy Valentine running down from the back with a steel chair and David Helms jogging out behind him.

Sharper: “Oh no…now Helms and Valentine! The World Tag Team Champions! They’re coming down and undoubtedly to go after Marina!”

Knots: “Well remember what happened on Supreme Saturday. They’re coming to send a bigger and badder message!”

Tommy slides into the ring as Marina starts to stir. Tommy gets up and hoists the chair up and goes to nail her, but before he’s able to, Marina quickly spews the Nocturnal Mist, again, into the eyes of Tommy. Tommy stumbles back, rubbing his eyes, yelling in pain as the crowd cheers. Helms then rolls into the ring and grabs the steel chair and lifts it up. Marina gets up and Helms runs over and stomps her in the face. She rolls over and Helms then turns and throws the chair down before grabbing Marina and suddenly, the lights go out. The crowd roars and Helms can be heard yelling out, as can Tommy.

“NECRO!”

A spotlight comes on in the middle of the ring and the crowd roars as Shilo stands in the middle of the ring. Helms suddenly is spun around to Marina who spews the Nocturnal Mist in his eyes. The crowd roars and Helms drops the chair, staggers back as Shilo grabs him and hoists him up and drops him with the Morning Star. Shilo Valiant then holds on for a moment before letting go and throwing Helms down. Tommy continues to rub his eyes in the corner.

Sharper: “Morning Star on David Helms! Shilo Valiant coming to help Marina Trent!”

Knots: “And this coming after Marina Trent misted both champions!”

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant even hit the Morning Star. You even saw him for a moment hesitate in letting go of Helms. That’s the big change for Shilo’s match against Thirteen. You can choke out your opponent using your own hands.”

Knots: “Well that has nothing to do with the Tag Champs!”

Sharper: “Shilo I think realized that, but you can have to think he’s on high gear for what will be a big weekend for him.”

The crowd cheers as Shilo and Marina remain in the ring. Kayl has since left as Johnson helps Katie up and we go to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see Robert Joseph Kelly speaking with Blake Mason backstage. Blake just looks down at the floor as he seems to be getting himself ready for his confrontation with Tatum McGraw later. RJK just turns to him.

RJK: “Look…I know this is important to you…but you need to move on. It’s not good to dwell.”

Blake: “I know…I know…”:

RJK: “You going to be ready for this Sunday?”

Blake just turns to him.

Blake: “Don’t worry about me. It’ll all be taken care of tonight.”

RJK: “Alright man…alright.”

RJK then gets up and Shaya is then seen. RJK walks off with Shaya as Blake just looks up at them and scoffs a bit before continuing to remain thinking as we head back to ringside.

Sharper: “Blake Mason clearly awaiting his confrontation with Tatum McGraw. A personal matter-“

Knots: “That should stay that way. But they want to air the dirty laundry, I’m getting the popcorn!”

"We live in a cold, dark world!
with venom in its veins!
you can spit it in my face,
but I know...I'LL BE OK!"

Harmony Fisher walks out from the back, dressed in a leather jacket and jeans. She starts to head to the ring, not quite as energetically as usual. She makes her way down to the ring.

Sharper: “Harmony Fisher on her way to the ring now and you have to wonder what is going through her head. The last two months have not been that kind to her.”

Knots: “Neither has her make-up.”

Sharper: “Please, Jonathan.”

Knots: “What? Lohan tosses her to the side. She gets her ass kicked by Tatum McGraw. What happened to Psycho Barbie? Well, Ken stopped wanting to tag team with her and now she’s lost. It’s hilarious!”

Harmony Fisher walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. The crowd cheers her as she enters as a few catcall her. She walks over to the corner and demands the microphone from Jason Phillips. Phillips hands her one and she turns around and goes to the middle of the ring. She then looks at the hard camera.

Harmony: “A lot of people may be thinking I may not have much going right about now. I mean, not getting the World Title shot. My Tag partner screws off. I get my ass kicked on Supreme Saturday. David and Tommy are probably laughing their asses off right now. And yet…I still have plenty to look forward to.”

The crowd cheers a bit.

Harmony: “See this Saturday, I’m going to walk down to this ring and I’m going to show Brittany Lohan that I was never the weak link. I never was a waste of her time and instead, that she made a horrible mistake at Retribution. She wants to cast me asi-“

‘I am done pretending’

That line blasts over the loudspeakers as the lights in the arena go out and the fans instantly start to boo heavily when they recognize whose theme song it is. Just a spotlight focuses on the curtains of the entrances the clips once again fades away into the words that read: “Bleeding you is more than just torment.” Harmony turns to the entrance way as Brittany Lohan walks out from the back as “Lights Out” starts to play. Typhoid Mary walks out with her and the two start to make their way to the ring.

Sharper: “This is about to get interesting.”

Knots: “Brian and Mary coming down. Harmony may be about to get her head popped off like the Barbie she is!”

Brittany Lohan walks over to the steel steps and walks up them. She then enters the ring. Mary follows her and walks in afterwards. Harmony glares towards Mary as Lohan walks up to Harmony before then moving her face such that she’s only looking at Lohan. Harmony pulls away. Lohan smiles before Mary grabs the microphone out of Harmony’s hand. Harmony glares at her and Lohan grabs her and turns her to her again. Mary then hands the microphone to Lohan.

Lohan: “To me…focus on me, Harmony…not her….me…I’m the one you have a problem with. At least claim to…”

Harmony turns away and Lohan then grabs her by the jaw and turns her to her and Harmony pushes away again.

Lohan: “Feisty as ever, Harm. But the fact is I’m not going to let you come out here and huff and puff and hype yourself up when you and I both know that this Saturday, you’re going to be making a big mistake.”

Harmony just glares at her.

Lohan: “I mean, I originally didn’t want to do it, but the fact is Harmony, you know just how dominant I can be. You know it too well. You’ve know it for a long time. In fact…”

Lohan suddenly grabs Harmony by the throat and forces her down to her knees. Mary just smiles as Lohan leans forward a bit, maintaining her leverage over Harmony.

Lohan: “I showed this to Syren two weeks ago. But maybe I should use you as the example. I mean…people were waiting for this for months. They expected it last year. Rachel wanted it last summer! And I kept you by my side…I remained by your side…until you couldn’t get it done in the one match you made sure mattered. At that point, I knew that I had to move on. I had to step forward and progress. And I was happy to leave you be…but you want to make it personal…this is your warning…This Saturday…it ends and I move on to the World Championship!”

Lohan then shoves Harmony back, causing her to fall over and roll over. The crowd boos. Lohan then turns and drops the microphone before turning around and Harmony then gets up and runs at Lohan and tackles her down from behind. She then nails Lohan with several shots to the back of the head and back. Lohan rolls over and Harmony nails her with a couple of hard forearms before Lohan shoves her back, but Harmony turns and shoves Mary down as she gets up. Mary just looks down before slowly getting up and we then see officials run down from the back and slide into the ring. The crowd boos as several get between Harmony, Lohan and Mary and force Harmony back. Lohan just grabs the ropes and glares at Harmony before rolling to the floor. Mary turns to Harmony and glares at her before exiting the ring and dropping to the floor.

Sharper: “Harmony fighting back and sending a message of her own to Lohan! Don’t think this is just that easy!”

Knots: “But she’s pissed off both of them! That can’t be smart!”

Sharper: “We’ll find out this Saturday when they face!”

The crowd boos as the officials keep them apart. Lohan and Mary both look at Harmony as they are backed away by a couple of officials on the floor. Harmony just tells Lohan and Mary to come at her as the crowd buzzes.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Syren walking over to the trainer’s room. We then see David Helms and Tommy Valentine both getting their eyes flushed out.

Syren: “Oh God…great…now you two are down…”

Helms: “We’ll be fine…Gah…what the hell is in that crap?”

Syren: “Just…”

Syren turns and storms out of the room. The camera focuses on her as we then see Marisa Condolesa try to get a word with her.

Condolesa: “Syren, can I g-“

Syren: “Screw off!”

Syren walks off as Condolesa looks stunned as we slowly head to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens back up in the locker room of Gable Winchester. Now, instead of a picture of Kelcey Wallace, we just see a Bible tapped to the board.

Jack: “Are you sure you should be doing that?”

Gable: “Oh, I’m sure. This book has given me a lot of trouble. Plus, it belonged to Chad Evans. That removes any magical powers it may have had!”

Jack just buries his head.

Jack: “Since we’re on tape, I feel we should apologize-“

Gable: “For what…I want to make sure you realize that my book is better than his book! I mean, come on, he didn’t even write it! Some Matthew, Mark, Luke…Isiah….What the…a Leviticus…Genesis…Well, that one’s okay. Matches a move by David Helms. But Chad Evans didn’t write it! I wrote a book. Now, granted, his book…it may help a few people. It has some good morals…but mine is important too. Mine helps you go home a happy man or woman! Mine gives you goals too! Mine is the modern equivalent to this book right here! The Bible, great book, fantastic reading, great…Hmmm…this give me an idea….can we get a contract with the Church or something-“

Jack then gets up.

Jack: “Okay…sorry…I get the point. But I’m saving you angry letters.”

Gable: “Jack! This is important-“

Jack: “Sorry to everyone at home. He’s a bit excited….”

Gable: “Jack!”

Jack then covers up the camera as we then abruptly head back to ringside.

Knots: “Great analysis by Gable as usual.”

Sharper: “I apologize for those comments by Gable.”

Knots: “He’s just give him an opinion!”

Sharper: “Ah…yeah.”

Stacy Kissinger vs. Marcus V. Lopez

The lighting over head plunges the entire arena into a shade of blue. The SCWtron comes to life to show a set of deep brown eyes. It slowly zooms out to show the face of Stacy Kissinger and zooms out even further until her entire 6’0” and about 135 pound frame can be seen before if zooms back in real fast to just show Stacy’s face. Words begin to appear on the screen, fading in. Words like “misunderstood”, “heartbroken”, “insulted”, “made fun of” can be seen as an extended instrumental beginning to Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” begins to play on the arena’s sound system.

These words fade away and are replaced by more positive words that define Stacy. Those being “focused”, “determined”, “caring”, and “well-spirited”. As those words fade, the SCWtron replaces the still of Stacy Kissinger’s frame with some shots of her amidst the SCW fan base and other shots of her in action in the ring. Meanwhile a spotlight appears from the side of the arena opposing the stage. The fans cheer as Stacy Kissinger steps out of the shadows and into the light, wearing a plain white halter dress and a pair of pristine white shoes. However the fans closest to her notice she doesn’t have a microphone this time around. She instead just stares down the staircase, right to the ring for a few moments before beginning to descend the staircase, not taking her eyes off of where she’s headed.

As the music continues to play, Stacy’s pace picks up on the steps and when she reaches the bottom, she gets there just in time for the chorus of the song. Stacy does stop and looks around the arena once, doing a complete 360 before she continues on her trek to the ring, once again clearly focused.

Knots: “Well, she isn’t singing. Either SCW’s budget is getting thinner or she was told that she was waking up too many dogs from their slumber in the area. I’d like to go with the second option.”

Sharper: “Did you ever think she made the choice to not sing tonight?”

Knots: “If that’s what you want to believe Adam, to each his own.”

Stacy has now reached the crowd barrier and she steps over it as the crowd does continue to cheer her, despite Stacy not being her usual cheerful self and instead looking more business-like. She then walks up a set of the steel ring steps and climbs into the ring. Once she’s inside she walks around the ring as her entrance music continues to play. As it begins to fade, Stacy simply looks into the lights and closes her eyes, but this only lasts for a few moments before she brings her head back down, opens her eyes and acknowledges the fans before she chooses a corner of the ring and waits for her opponent.

Sharper: “Despite what my broadcast partner has to say about this woman, it’s clear what she desires, and that’s an SCW World Championship match.”

Knots: “She doesn’t deserve one. She loses far more than she wins and look at what she’s done to the careers of Gable Winchester and Tatum McGraw! She brought them DOWN to her level! They’re both away from her now and Gable’s busy with God while Tatum, the GOOD Texan is our Underground Champion!”

Sharper: “You would see things like that Johnathan. Stacy however has moved on and from what I’ve been told by her off camera, has no gripes with Tatum McGraw for moving on.”

Knots: “So she admits it!”

Sharper just shakes his head as "Hey Ya" by Outkast begins to play. Multi-colored lights shine throughout the arena and grey smoke fills the entrance way as the camera spins around the arena showing the fans on their feet. Marcus V. Lopez steps through the smoke as the live crowd cheers him on. Marcus walks on the side of stage as he raises his arms in the air to the crowd’s delight as he is dressed in a big navy blue ring robe with silver glitter around the collar and belt. Marcus also wears a French Beret as he poses on the stage for the fans to eat up. Marcus starts to head down the ramp to the ring as a single pryo goes off behind him that shakes Marcus up and causes him to trip and roll down the ramp. The SCW flashes their show name plate on the screen showing off “Marcus V. Lopez” while he rolls all the way to the bottom.

At ringside, Marcus picks himself up off the ground and looks away and brushes himself off. He reaches up and grabs the middle rope and pulls himself up on the apron of the ring where he flexes for the fans one more time. He climbs into the ring, but the huge wrestling ring robe gets in his way and causes him to trip up on the ropes making his less than perfect entrance complete.

After a few seconds on the mat Marcus stands up and walks to his corner as he starts to take off his robe and beret. He then looks diagonally across the ring to see Stacy and he just simply nods and gets ready for action.

Knots: “Now these are the kinds of opponents Stacy should be facing until the end of her days. Those that have NO CHANCE right now of becoming SCW World Champion! It’s the only way that she’ll actually win matches.”

Sharper sighs as the referee assigned to this match-up calls for the bell to be rung. The bell rings and Stacy takes a few steps to the center of the ring. MV just looks at her and actually bows like a gentleman. Stacy does nod at him but then grabs MV by the arm and locks on an armbar. MV spins and pulls out of it before going to sloppily clothesline Stacy. Stacy ducks though and grabs MV, whipping him off the ropes. On his rebound, Stacy connects with a clothesline, knocking MV to the canvas.

Knots: “She should have shown him hospitality. MV was nothing but a gentleman right there. See Stacy? This is why I hate you. You’re a hypocrite!”

Sharper: “I’d ask how you believe that, but I know you’ll come up with some garbage.”

Knots: “Meh.”

MV begins to come to his feet, but Stacy is prepared and this time grabs him by the head. She goes to turn and hit a neckbreaker, but MV is able to block and push Stacy away. Stacy whirls back around and is greeted with a European Uppercut from MV as the crowd cheers for the Frenchman.

Stacy staggers backwards but is able to stay on her feet. Her back goes against the ropes and she is able to stabilize herself. Stacy comes off the ropes and MV hopes onto the same set of ropes, using them in a way only he knows how. As he comes off, he connects with a kick to the side of Stacy, which forces her to the mat. She holds her left side and MV comes and pushes her down to pin her. He even grabs her hands and holds those down as the referee positions himself.

Stacy uses her height advantage on MV, aka her long legs, to kick out of the early pinfall attempt. MV gets to his feet and looks down at his opponent. It’s then that it seems like a light bulb goes off in his head. He goes to the nearest corner and ascends to the top turnbuckle before looking out at the crowd.

Knots: “This would have been a good decision, but he’s taking too long. Stupid Kissinger is getting up.”

MV has his back turned to Stacy and he goes for a moonsault. However she actually catches him before plain out dropping him to the canvas back first. The crowd sounds to be impressed with the show of strength from the Texan as Stacy does nothing but hook MV’s leg and go for the win.

MV kicks out. Stacy doesn’t look stressed at all but instead grabs the same leg of MV that she had just been hooking for the cover. She stands partially and then moves around, looking to attempt to lock in a Figure Four Leg Lock, but MV uses his free leg to kick her away. MV scrambles to his feet and uses the ropes again to springboard himself towards Stacy. In midair he goes for a leg drop, however Stacy goes down into a split like cheerleaders do and the crowd is actually shocked to see this too. As MV whiffs, Stacy rolls away and brings herself to a set of the ropes. She pulls herself up and crouches down as she sees MV looking for where she is. As soon as MV spots her, Stacy runs right at him and connects solidly with a spear that puts MV down on the canvas, again back first. Stacy hooks the leg again and goes for another cover.

1!

2!

MV kicks out and his fans cheer.

Knots: “Heh. If Kissinger can’t put away someone like this goofball, she will NEVER and mark that word, NEVER become the SCW World Champion. I hope she gets frustrated and quits.”

Sharper: “If there is one thing she isn’t, it’s a quitter Johnathan. And she doesn’t look frustrated to me. She doesn’t expect easy victories. She wants to be challenged.”

Knots: “She has been and she’s failed a majority of the time.”

As the announcers go back and forth, Stacy doesn’t seem to hear them but instead stays focused on MV and drags him partially up again. This time she locks his head in a position to deliver a swinging neckbreaker. She looks forward for a moment before going for the maneuver, however MV slips out, turns around and delivers his quick kick, right to the jaw of Stacy. He then immediately pulls her down into a small package. The referee is right on it.

THR-

Stacy kicks out of the predicament just in the nick of time. Stacy rolls away again and this time rolls outside the ring. She spins around and looks back into the ring, almost in a state of shock at MV. MV looks proud at himself, stands up and gestures for Stacy to come back into the ring. He even stays away from the ropes. Stacy puts her hands on her hips but then shrugs and rolls back into the ring. MV greets her with a few blows to the back, but Stacy fends those off and gets to her feet. MV however whips her clear to the other side of the ring. Stacy bounces off the ropes however and decks MV right in the midsection, doubling him over. Stacy hurriedly grabs MV’s head again and this time successfully drills MV with a spinning neckbreaker. As soon as his head hits the canvas, Stacy drops down and gets a leg under MV’s torso. She quickly locks the other one around and like a cobra begins to squeeze the life out of MV.

Sharper: “That’s the Determining Factor once again. We saw her use it in her last victory against Justin Davis.”

Knots: “Big deal. Justin’s been tapping out to Chad Evans so much lately, it didn’t make a difference. Though again, it’s MV we’re talking about here. I thought Stacy wanted to be the SCW World Champion. Defeating MV here tonight won’t prove that she’s ready for that. She will NEVER be ready for that!”

Stacy continues to squeeze as MV now realizes the predicament he’s in. He reaches a hand out, hoping that the ropes are near, but he can now see that they aren’t. MV doesn’t tap though as he instead continues to stay alive.

Knots: “Okay, I know I don’t like Stacy at all, but MV is just being stupid here. Sadly she has him.”

MV tries to turn and wriggle in the body scissors that is applied to him, but after about 15 more seconds, he finally does give in and tap out. The referee calls for the bell. Stacy leaves the Determining Factor locked in a few extra seconds as “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson starts to play. She then unravels it and allows MV to be free. Stacy then stands up and the referee raises her arm in victory. Stacy still looks business-like but she does nod at the crowd that cheers for her. As they do, Stacy extends a hand down and goes to help MV up when she hears a voice booming from the stage area, that of Chef Charles Cummings.

Chef Cummings: “Congratulations Miss Kissinger. That is two victories in a row for you. I guess you should be proud, even though it has been against lesser competition.”

Stacy turns to the stage and just shows off a questioning look before this man continues on the SCW microphone that he’s brandishing.

Chef Cummings: “Anyways, I see that you are confused. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Charles Cummings and I am a renowned Chef and former underground wrestler. I just signed my official Supreme Championship Wrestling contract tonight and to be honest, I deem you the perfect appetizer to get this meal of mine going.”

Stacy squints her eyes at him and just stands in the ring now, after having brought MV to his feet. MV rolls out of the ring and just stays at ringside as Stacy just glares at this new SCW signee.

Chef Cummings: “You see, I do not mind starting small. I do not mind devouring the small morsels first before moving on to the main course that you yourself desire. No, do not have your mind in the gutter everyone. I am talking about the Supreme Championship Wrestling World Championship of course. The same championship that you Miss Kissinger will never have, especially being the path that you have been on.”

“Now yes, I know, you have dealt with a lot of adversity and all that jazz. However I do not deal with excuses. I fix the problems. That is what makes me the great chef that I am, the great athlete that you will all soon see that I am, and the great person that I am.”

“Beyond that, trust me Miss Kissinger, after you have dealt with me, perhaps maybe, just maybe, you will end up being ready to once again tread the deeper waters of Supreme Championship Wrestling. Or, I will be the one to finally end your “sour grapes” career for good. But for now, in closing, as your opponent tonight would say… Bon appétit.”

Cummings then turns and walks backstage as Stacy does nothing but stare out in the direction of the stage.

Sharper: “Okay, that was…interesting.”

Knots: “He made an excellent point. I hope he carries through on it. Perhaps we will finally get to get rid of the southern filth known as Stacy Kissinger.”

Sharper: “We’ll be back with more after this…”

Breakdown cuts to commercials.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we see Jessica Rose can be seen getting prepared for her match. We then see Rachel Foxx just walk in and look at her and smiles.

Rachel: “Ah…a Belle…someone to make another statement after my own.”

Jessica: “Exactly.”

Rachel: “Make sure to crush their spirit.”

Jessica: “But of course.”

Rachel: “Just like I will destroy Josh Hudson. A relic from my past. A relic that should have stayed retired. A relic getting more focus than me…My Belles are getting World Championship shots…where is my shot…MY SHOT….”

Jessica: “Clearly they don’t understand your greatness. And to be fair…we are Belles…they….they are too weak for that term.”

Jessica smiles a bit.

Rachel: “Ah Jessica…they may show weakness…but they are Belles…and they may very well be Champion. They just better realize who led them there…”

Rachel smiles as she almost reminisces as we cut back to ringside.

Hurse vs. Collin Cole

The opening riff to "Cochise" hits the PA system and the fans begin to boo. The song eventually kicks into gear. Collin soon emerges from the curtains sporting a black and red jacket. Soon, Siousxie Blade skips with him and plays with Collin's hair.

Ring Announcer:From San Francisco, California, weighing in at twenty hundred and fifty pounds, Collin Cole!

Well, I've been watching
While you've been coughing.
I've been drinking life
While you've been nauseous.
And so I drink to health,
While you kill yourself.
And I've got just one thing that I can offer,

Collin walks down the ramp with a focus expression as Siousxie follows jovially. He and Siouxsie continue to walk down to the ring before reaching to the end of the ramp. He walks over to the steel steps, slaps the top of it, before running up the stairs and slowly ascends the turnbuckle, provoking more of a negative reaction from the crowd.

Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me. Yeah.

Cole eventually jumps off and takes his jacket off and tosses it to the out. From there he rest his head on the top turnbuckle while has a smirk on her face on the outside.

Sharper: “Collin Cole about to face off against Hurse.”

Knots: “Cole…kick his ass. It’s that simple. Kick his ass.”

Sharper: “Well you’re clearly playing favourites.”

Knots: “Well we can’t allow people who are nuttier than a PayDay bar to be near the future of the business. That’s a poor investment!”

Collin walks around the ring.

"DECEPTICONS, Feast Your Eyes on Your New Leader"

Starscream's voice elicits a number of divergent reactions from the masses, be it cheers, boos, or exasperated sighs, they run the full gamut. Regardless of the response, at least everyone has some type of reaction to the arrival of Hurse. The classic Transformers quote quickly transitions into "No Handlebars" by the Flobots, but the crowd's tune remains the same. It isn't until the curtains rip apart and through the birth canal known as the entry way Hurse emerges, dressed in his street clothes. He has a microphone in his hand and he just shakes his head as he then sticks his hand up.

Hurse: “Please stop playing the most awesome music in SCW!”

The crowd buzzes, while some cheer and others boo. Hurse then stops and looks at the ring.

Hurse: “I know that the people running SCW are a bit slow, but after Supreme Saturday, I had two clear statements. The first was that I wanted an answer regarding the generous offer SCW should make to Porno Lad! Do I have an answer?! No! They have the ability to provide a tiny bit of happiness to their CLEARLY most superior wrestler and yet, they don’t agree to tell the boss’ daughter to get a stiff upper lip and spend an amazing evening with Porno Lad. And they don’t tell David Helms, sorry, your services are no longer needed as Adrenaline Champion. We like that chap Ryan Watson, even if we can’t understand a word that bastard says! But noooo! That’s not reasonable! Well, SCW….Board….this Sunday, you’ll have to deal with me and Porno Lad both pissed off at you. I have delivered you the deal of a century. You just have to bend backwards only a little bit to bring happiness and meaning back into my life and my career and give you the full talents of yours truly!”

The crowd starts to boo. Cole stands in the ring, just rolling his eyes. Siouxsie Blade just turns her head and shakes it. She can be seen saying something to Cole as Cole chuckles a bit.

Hurse: “And what was the second point….I’m too damn depressed to come out here and take on the scrubs here in SCW. I mean, Collin, I’m sure you’re a nice guy. You’ve at least had a shower, but damn it, I’m not going to risk injury when I am THAT close to finally getting the opportunity to kill the Porno Lad and finally get my desire to kick ass with the best of them back. I have my chance to get revenge and destroy Porno Lad. I am not going to let you Collin or anyone else ruin that by trying to cement your career against me. So, screw you all! I’m going to be back! See you Sunday!”

The crowd boos as Hurse turns and storms off to the back. Collin Cole just looks in the ring and laughs a bit before turning and walking over to the corner and asking for a microphone himself.

Sharper: “I guess that takes care of that. Hurse, for the second consecutive outing, has chosen to walk off.”

Knots: “Well he’s apparently saving himself for Porno Lad. I hope he enjoys his ass-kicking if he can get all of those stupid ideas of him past the Board of Directors.”

Sharper: “I don’t think he even realizes how untenable that is.”

Knots: “Well who cares? The moron will get his this Sunday. Let’s listen to the future of SCW, Collin Cole!”

Cole turns around and looks over to the entrance way before shaking his head.

Cole: “You know what Hurse. I’m fine with you deciding not to come out here. I don’t have to now worry about humiliating you in front of the world. Instead, I can speak my mind about the injustice that took place two weeks ago on this program!”

Cole walks around the ring.

Cole: “I had my spot in the battle royal to determine the challenger for the World Championship at Riding the Lightning: Night One. And Josh Hudson wanted to have his match. I chose to forfeit it, keeping myself fresh for that battle royal. But Hudson didn’t care for that. But neither did Christy Matthews. Now I don’t really give a damn about Christy. I used to be a fan when she wasn’t quite so boring. Competition? Please, Christy. This is about our careers and getting to that promised land. But you chose to stick your nose into my business because of some B.S. agreement you have with Josh. It should be a hint when you two are the only two that seem to care about the good old fair fights that you should know you’re on a losing battle.”

The crowd boos.

Cole: “But don’t worry Christy…thanks to Hurse, I may not have been fresh for last Breakdown, but this weekend, I will face you and beat a former World Champion and maybe make you realize that you should stop sticking your nose in everyone’s business. Maybe you should just go back to having your competition with whoever wants to give you the time of day. Because you cost me my shot at the World Championship…I may as well cost you some pride.”

Cole then walks over and leans on the ropes and looks at the entrance way.

Cole: “And Christy…bring Pete Ebdon too. Siouxsie could use some fun.”

Siouxsie claps excitedly as Cole then turns and tosses the microphone to the side, causing it to land on the apron and Phillips grabs it. Cole then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor as “Cochise” starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd boos and Siouxsie steps out of the ring. She starts to skip to the back as Cole starts to walk back.

Sharper: “Collin Cole gets his wish tonight to not compete to prepare for a bigger challenge.”

Knots: “Christy is going to regret pissing him off.”

Sharper: “We’ll see about that, when Collin Cole and Christy Matthews clash this Saturday on Night One of Riding the Lightning weekend!”

The crowd continues to boo Cole as Cole and Siouxsie make their way to the back.

“Rescue Me” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up. We then see a shot of Syren and the Trios Contract.

Sharper: “More to come here on Breakdown including the results of the Board of Directors vote on Syren’s Trios Tournament contract. That and so much still to come!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage in the interview area to see Jessica Winters standing with Christy Matthews and Pete Ebdon. The crowd cheers seeing them.

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown, I am here with Pete Ebdon and Christy Matthews and we just heard from Collin Cole before the last commercial break and he had some pretty stern words for you both.”

Christy: “I think Collin needs to start thinking before he speaks. He wants to make a big deal about my getting in his business. I didn’t need to if he was going to do what he is paid by this company to do and that’s compete. He wants to run off to the back and claim to be ready for a title shot…that’s laughable. A champion doesn’t run. A champion doesn’t pick his fights. A champion simply fights and simply wins. He’s no champion. He’s a coward. I called him out on it by forcing him to go down to that ring to face a former World Champion in Josh Hudson. That didn’t go well for him. But now…this Saturday, he gets me. I’ll give you a hint…I’m not going to run. I’m going to fight. And yes, I am part of your business.”

The crowd cheers a bit.

Christy: “So Collin, I hope you plan to fight. Maybe earn some respect back. See, I care about competition for one simple reason. It makes me better. It makes this business better. It makes all of us better because then whoever holds that World Championship belt is the best. Whoever holds any gold has earned it. People like you…you want to take short-cuts…go ahead…just don’t complain when you get burned. Welcome to my reality Collin…”

Pete then steps forward and Jessica turns to him.

Pete: “And Collin, you say your girl wants some fun. Where I come from, I doubt she’s into the fun that I’m thinking. But if she’s got anything to do with your change of attitude as of late…I’ll certainly enjoy knocking some sense into her too.”

Pete smiles before the two walk off.

Jessica: “Christy Matthews faces Collin Cole this Saturday night on Night One of Riding the Lightning Weekend. Let’s go back to ringside.”

We head to ringside.

Simon Lyman vs. Jessica Rose

Fading back in, all is dark as J. Robert Oppenheimer's gravelly voice echoes through a quieted arena.

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"

As the last three words echo eerily through the arena, the intro to "Symptom Finger" by The Fiant begins to fade in underneath them until it crescendos and a shot of sparks fly up from the stage floor. As the sparks dissipate, the crowd boos as we see Jesse rose standing in the entry way. She is wearing Rachel Foxx's typical ring gear, a black Affliction shirt with the neck line cut so it hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt, black fishnets and knee-high black leather boots. There is a sadistic smile on her face as she bends forward and blows kisses to the crowd before making her way down the ramp. The crowd boos her, but she ignores them as she almost skips down to the ring. She races up the steel steps and slowly slides between the top and second rope, making sure the crowd gets a very good look at her. She then skips to the corner and jumps onto the second rope, blowing kisses to the booing crowd. As she hops off the rope, the sadistic smile remains on her face as she begins stretching against the ropes.

Knots: Look who showed up in the ring, it’s the crazy girl.

Sharper: Her name fans for those of you that don’t know is Jesse Rose.

Knots: I don’t care what her name is, she’s still nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake.

Sharper: Always the gentleman, Jonathan.

Knots: I do aim to please.

The house lights dim again as the opening riffs to "Hero" by Skillet begin to scream throughout the arena.

On the Jumbotron in the background the words flash in gold, "The Hero That You Need" followed by a video of "Simply Rational" Simon Lyman assaulting various opponents inside of the ring.

As the lyrics begin, Simon walks out on stage silently, with his head down, almost seemingly unaware of the crowd reaction whether positive or negative at that moment.

Once the refrain hits for the first time Simon stands with legs spread apart and arms outstretched overhead, gold pyro showers down from the rafters, engulfing the entire length of the stage right behind him.

Sharper: Also making his debut appearance on Breakdown in this match. “Simply Rational” Simon Lyman, and joining us here at commentary, his wife Trinity Street. Welcome, Trinity.

Trinity: Thank you luv.

Knots: For once we agree Sharper. Trinity it is certainly nice to have you with us and might I say you are looking ve…

Trinity: Choose your words carefully, Mr. Knots.

When the refrain ends the house lights rise and Simon walks the aisle confidently. If being cheered he slaps hands with the fans, if being booed he will mock them.

While the fans continue to shower him with negativity, Simon arrives, handing his robe to an attendant, before making his way up the steps and into the ring.

Now in his corner we see a slight smile on Simon's face as he looks out into the crowd briefly,...

From there, it's all business and his eyes never leave Rose’s, who rushes him at the opening bell unabashed with a flurry of kicks to thighs and hamstrings. The kicks find their mark and are undoubtedly effective backing Lyman into his corner while he seems taken aback by the early assault from Rose while leaning back against the turnbuckles.

He isn’t there for long though, as Rose shows her athleticism jumping up and monkey flipping him out of the corner, continuing her assault on Lyman.

Sharper: Coming into this match Simon was very adamant in the fact that he was not taking Jesse lightly, but so far it looks like that might not be the case, and she has been in control from the start.

Trinity: Mr. Sharper, I will say this once and only once my husband does not lie. He does not take anyone lightly. Why don’t we just call the match and quit trying to read Simon’s mind.

Knots: Could be worse. We could be trying to read her mind. I am telling you that girl is clinically insane.

After hurtling Lyman out of the corner, Rose makes the first cover of the match in the middle of the ring.

1….

2…

Lyman kicks out after a short two count throwing them much lighter Rose off of him in the process. He is getting to his feet when Rose trying to stay right on him helps him the rest of the way up grabbing a handful of his brown hair.
As Lyman is rising off the canvas however he staggers Rose back ward nailing a forearm to the jaw.

Getting all of the way up now, Lyman grabs a still stunned Rose by the right arm, and nails a short arm lariat with authority that drives her to the canvas hard. Rose has enough awareness however to roll to the outside before Lyman can make a cover. Not to deterred though, Lyman gets a running start and times his leap taking Rose down with a scintillating suicide dive to the outside, over the tope rope.

Sharper: Simon Lyman taking flight over the top, and now both he and Jesse Rose are down on the outside. What are you thinking when you sit here and watch your husband taking risks like that Trinity?

Trinity: Watching that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my husband is the greatest wrestler to ever lace up a pair of boots.

Sharper: A bold claim about a man who just arrived in SCW against the top competition in the world not even two months ago.

Trinity: Call it whatever you like, it’s the truth. Simon is going to beat those other wankers at Riding the Lightning: Night One and become a Champions on Night Two also.

Knots: Hey Sharper the man did wrestle for over 16 years before he ever arrived here. Don’t worry Trinity, unlike my partner I do my homework.

Trinity: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, its a relief you’re here luv..

Moving a touch slower himself now after making contact with the floor outside, Lyman rolls Rose back in under the bottom rope. Rather than following her in immediately however, Lyman jaws at a ringside heckler, and then slingshots himself back in over the top with a flipping leg drop. Rose moves out of the way though having had a bit of a breather on the outside also, and Lyman hits nothing but the mat.

While Lyman holds his left hip in pain still sitting on the mat after missing his mark, Rose is back to her feet and after bouncing off the connects on a running dropkick right to Lyman’s face. Once again, Rose is quick try and capitalize going for the cover a second time.

1…

2…

Lyman kicks at two once more, but this time without as much power behind it.

Sharper: A little closer that time to Jesse Rose pulling off what I would have to consider an upset tonight over the veteran Simon Lyman.

Knots: She can get as close as she wants. The only thing that matters is whether or not she gets the job done…

Trinity: (interrupting)…and so far she has not, nor will she.

With Lyman still down on the canvas after the near fall, it’s Rose who looks to go high risk this time. Going out to the apron, and climbing her way to the top turnbuckle, Rose turns around, going for a moonsault. In the split second her back is turned though, Lyman shows cat like reflexes, kipping up and quickly getting to the corner, before leaping flat footed to the top himself.

Before Rose can even realize what is going on both wrestlers are being thrown back down to the canvas, as Lyman nails a back suplex from the top rope.

Sharper: Tremendous move by Simon Lyman from the top rope.

Trinity: This girl has given Simon quite a fight, but she didn’t know what hit her right there. That’s experience and ability at its finest, and there will be more of it on display this weekend too.

Knots: Doesn’t really matter what hits her. Knowing Rachel Foxx, and knowing her, crazy girl here probably enjoys the pain no matter what she gets hit with or how hard.

Lyman turns over and gets a cover for the first time

1…

2…

A kickout by Rose, but now taking control again and looking to put her away. Lyman rips Rose up and wastes no time powering her right back down with a cradle piledriver, and then goes for the cover once more.

1…

2…

Rose barely shoots her left shoulder off the canvas just before the three and Lyman looks up at the referee in stunned disbelief, before making the lateral press again immediately and hooking the leg this time

1…

2…

Once more Rose escapes in the nick of time and Lyman hops to his feet getting in the referee’s face now demanding a three count as the crowd boos.
Sharper: Simon clearly does not agree, but the referee is making the right call here. Jesse was up just in time each of the last two instances.

Trinity: Which match are you watching, because it isn’t the one in the ring unless you are as blind as that so-called referee. Those were both three counts!

Knots: You will have to forgive him as I do on a weekly basis Trinity. Sharper isn’t blind, he just never learned how to count past two.

Lyman is still arguing with the referee when Rose who has had time to recover now, comes in behind him, spins him around, and surprises the self proclaimed hero, rocking him down with a powerful DDT. Seizing the moment, Rose is quick to make the cover again

1…

2…

And this time it is Lyman who barely escapes. Rose gives the referee the evil eye herself this time before showing some patience and backing up to a neutral corner waiting on her opponent. Lyman pulls himself to his feet with the aid of the ropes in the opposite corner, and once he turn to face her, Rose launches herself toward Lyman with a powerful spear. Lyman has this scouted though, and seeing it coming uses Rose’s own momentum against her and dropping her immediately with Leading the Revolution.

Sharper: Oh my word what a superkick! Nobody saw that one coming!

Knots: I’ll guarantee you everyone here felt it though!

Trinity: And that gentlemen is just how quickly my husband can end a match. In the blink of an eye.

Lyman drops down for the cover…

1…

2…

3…

Trinity: Guys that’s my cue.

Sharper: A very good showing from both competitors in their Breakdown debuts, but Simon Lyman picks up the victory with a super kick that will be remembered for awhile and Jesse Rose will no doubt be feeling tomorrow as well.

Knots. Hey like I’ve been saying the worse it hurts, the more she will like it. She’s nuts.

Simon is joined by Trinity while he celebrates in the ring, taunting the crowd that boos him while the scene heads backstage.

We cut backstage as we see Blake Mason getting up and about ready to walk out of the room. We then see Kelcey Wallace step forward with Shawn Mason.

Kelcey: “Blake…”

Blake turns to her.

Blake: “I know…this hardly is perfect.”

Mason: “Exactly. But it’s not why we’re here.”

Blake: “Then what?”

Kelcey: “End it tonight. You want to be weighed down by something like this…then maybe you’re not ready to achieve perfection. This ends tonight…”

Blake just looks at her before turning and walking out of the locker room.

Sharper: “Blake Mason confronts Tatum McGraw…next on Breakdown…”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Brand New Start” by Alter Bridge plays as Blake Mason walks through the curtain. He stands at the top of the ramp. He looks around for a moment before continuing on his way. The crowd cheers a bit as Blake Mason makes his way down the rampway to the ringside area.

Sharper: “This is going to be interesting. For those who follow some SCW wrestlers on twitter, you will know that Tatum McGraw and Blake Mason were good friends and even potentially dating. Regardless, that relationship has been quite strained recently, particularly involving Harmony Fisher, now Aiken, and even Kelcey Wallace and the Perfect World.”

Knots: “Blah, blah, blah. Why can’t people just break up and be done with it!”

Sharper: “Well that’s what this apparently is going to be. Mason wants to clear the air with Tatum tonight. And with Tatum seemingly changing her attitude in recent weeks, you have to wonder what is going to happen here, especially just days before both have some big matches.”

Blake Mason walks into the ring and walks over to the far corner. He is handed a microphone. He takes it and turns around as his music plays out.

Knots: “Well Mason better end this fast and well. Kelcey’s warning him.”

Sharper: “And I’m sure Tatum won’t have much patience either.”

Blake takes a deep breath.

Blake: “As many of you may know, myself and Tatum have been having some issues outside of the ring in our personal lives. Well, we’re going to clear the air right now so we both can move on with our careers…since we both may have been spending too much time worrying about each other instead of ourselves. So I’m not going to waste time, Tatum…please come on out.”

The crowd boos a bit before “Cowboy From Hell” plays throughout the arena. A few moments pass before Tatum McGraw walks out from the back with the SCW Underground Championship over her shoulder. She looks down at Blake Mason before glancing behind her and we then see Aiken walk out with her. The crowd boos some more and Blake just steps back a bit, clearly unimpressed.

Knots: “Tatum’s not alone!”

Sharper: “Aiken coming down to the ring with her. The man behind Blitzkrieg and something tells me that this is nothing like how Blake expected it to go.”

Tatum walks down to the ring with Aiken. Aiken stands behind her as she walks up the steel steps and enters into the ring. She looks up at Blake as Aiken enters in after him.

Blake: “What the hell is this?”

Aiken sticks his hand out and looks at Blake before revealing a microphone in his hand.

Aiken: “I will stop you right there Blake. See, while Tatum may have thought this was a good idea earlier this week, the fact is that this is nothing more than a way to placate your ego. You have a chance to end things on your terms. The mighty Blake Mason, the one who now has gone from the diabolical sidekick, the wining and dining, the over confident, the not-so-perfect, but hoping to attain it, shell of a man who can’t figure out a damn thing that he wants. That is why you will fail. And that is why you will fail alone.”

The crowd boos.

Blake: “This is between Tatum and myself. Go find Blitzkrieg and have him trade a few more punches with the Watsons. This doesn’t involve you.”

Aiken: “But it does Blake. Tatum’s informed me of your lechery…far being of someone who is seeking perfection. And I’ve told her that you have no reason to even be close to her. She is better than that and she is willing to move past you for the sake of her career. This Saturday, she will take that step when she faces off against the Watsons and Shaun Cruze alongside my monster Blitzkrieg and what will remain a mystery until then. You can enjoy your time in the Tag Team Division and you continue to find perfection…”

Blake: “I don’t care about that right now. I came out here to talk to her-“

Aiken: “And she has a very simple message for you.”

Tatum then suddenly kicks Blake right between the legs. He drops down to the mat as Tatum then grabs the microphone.

Tatum: “I came out ere not to talk. But I come ta this ring t’fight. I hate ya guts now Blake. You just had to be there for me, but you never were. You were with Harmony…or someone else…but if you want to end this…next Breakdown, let’s do this straight up. I’ll put mah title on the line…and we can beat the hell outta each other. Until then…screw off.”

Tatum then backs off as we then see The Watsons start to walk out from the back. They start to make their way down to the ring, before we see Kennedy Street jog out from the back. Aiken turns to Tatum. Tatum turns and gets ready to fight as Aiken remains standing to the side. Kennedy jogs down and shoves past the Watsons and heads right to the ring. She then hops onto the apron, yelling at Tatum, before Tatum turns and nails Kennedy with a hard right.

Sharper: “Kennedy Street out here and she’s gone right after Tatum. A hard right! Oh my!”

Knots: “What has gotten into her?! She’s facing Blake this Sunday in that tag match!”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Kennedy is fired up and Tatum is too! The Watsons down here.”

Knots: “And look who is coming down to the ring now!”

We then see Blitzkrieg walk out from the back and Aiken just laughs in the ring.

Aiken: “Ryan…Thomas…you should’ve stayed back!”

Thomas stops and turns to the ring as Ryan turns around. Kennedy goes back up, but Thomas grabs her and holds her back as Kennedy then turns and nails Thomas with a hard right. Thomas stumbles back and Kennedy turns and hops onto the apron again and Tatum grabs her and nails her again. Kennedy falls back down and we then see Dawn Lohan jog out. The crowd roars as Blake gets up and Tatum turns to him and the two of them just glare at each other.

Sharper: “Blitzkrieg coming down. Officials coming down too. And there’s Cruze!”

Knots: “Look in the ring. Blake is back up.”

Officials get between Shaun Cruze and Blitzkrieg as Ryan runs over and clubs him in the back. Blitzkrieg turns and the officials push Watson back. A few security guards come out to keep Kennedy and Thomas away as Blake and Tatum remain look at each other. Blake just glares at Tatum. Aiken then walks over and says something to Tatum. Tatum then just looks at Blake.

Tatum: “Your choice.”

Tatum then steps out and drops down to the floor as Aiken steps out with her. Blake just looks at her before shaking his head. The crowd continues to roar as Blitzkrieg starts to shove around some officials to get to Cruze. Shaun Cruze tells him to come at him as Kennedy looks at Tatum before turning to the Watsons. The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we see Blitzkrieg being held back by Tatum McGraw as Aiken just smiles as Cruze stands across the way, separated by several officials.

Cruze: “You seem to like your cheap shots. Let’s do it now. Face to face.”

Blitzkrieg tries again before Tatum holds him back only for Aiken to laugh again and then turn.

Aiken: “Blitzkrieg!”

Blitzkrieg stops. Tatum just looks at him before shaking her head a bit.

Aiken: “All in good time Shaun. All in good time. Lucky that these officials were here…or you’d be having a much shorter return to the ring and you’d be watching your half-brother Orlando succeed from home. Blitzkrieg…Tatum…shall we have a drink for a good night. Well done out there by the way.”

Aiken looks to Shaun as Shaun glares at him and Blitzkrieg and Tatum just walk off as Aiken follows them as the crowd boos.

We then see Blake Mason walking backstage. Robert Joseph Kelly and Shaya Blackley are seen in the hallway.

RJK: “You okay man?”

Shaya: “Yeah…you-“

Blake: “I’m fine.”

RJK: “You gonna take the match.”

Kelcey: “He will if he wants.”

The camera pans out to show Kelcey standing in the hallway. Shawn Mason is seen on his phone.

Kelcey: “Shawn’s working on the paperwork. But he can get it if you two win that tag match. Prove your perfection and we’ll sign the contract. If not, Blake, you let it go. Rise above it.”

Blake just nods.

Blake: “Works for me.”

Blake starts to walk forward before Shaya then turns to RJK.

Shaya: “I wonder what got into Kennedy too…”

RJK: “Yeah…that was nuts. She came to save him.”

Blake ignores it as Kelcey clearly looks irked by that as the scene changes again.

We then open up to see Johnny Dollar replaying the end of the melee again on the television in his room. He then lets out a joyous laugh.

Dollar: “Perfect! Just perfect. No…no…this is money!”

Aurora: “What? Why?”

We see Aurora in the room with Lexington Stalfos, Carolina Crane and Joseph Englider.

Englider: “They’re all distracted.”

Dollar: “I mean Kennedy lost it there. For someone so calm, even playful, to be that driven….”

Englider: “Watsons have that six man tag. Blake is distracted with his love life. This is good. Finally a chance to be noticed. Nothing like Retribution.”

Dollar: “Better by far. This is in your hands. You just have to beat them in that ring. All of them distracted…all of them running out there….As I said money!”

Aurora: “Really…oh…this…”

Englider: “It’s good Aurora. It’s good.”

Englider smiles as we head to ringside.

We go to ringside and see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.

Knots: “Something’s in the water tonight. Oh…I spilled some popcorn.”

Sharper: “Well, the tag division is heating us, so are things between Blitzkrieg and Cruze and of course, Perfect World. But this weekend, SCW will be going pedal to the metal.”

Knots: “Yeah…this is just the start of what’s a big weekend for tonnes of people!”

The Riding the Lightning logo comes up on the screen as “The High Road” by Three Days Grace plays throughout the arena. We then see the words “Night One” come up on the screen.

Sharper: “Big weekend coming up as Riding the Lightning, a double shot, two nights, back to back on pay per view! And we’re going to start off with Night One, this Saturday…”

Regan Street vs. Jake Starr

SCW World Championship

Sharper: “…and we will see the first of potentially two World Championship matches, depending on how the Board reads Syren’s Trios Tournament Contract. Regan Street will challenge Jake Starr.”

Knots: “Well I hope they make the right choice there, but Regan said it tonight. Jake Starr will not leave that weekend as champion and she’s going to do what she can to get it done Saturday night!”

Blitzkrieg, Tatum McGraw & ??? vs. Ryan Watson, Thomas Watson & Shaun Cruze

Sharper: “Blitzkrieg is a monster. Tatum now with Aiken and we don’t know who their partner will be.”

Knots: “Cruze and the Watsons better get ready. They’re looking to get a long night no matter who that third person is!”

Christy Matthews vs. Collin Cole

Sharper: “Collin Cole has a problem with Christy Matthews sticking her nose in his business.”

Knots: “And he’s going to do all he can to make her regret that decision!”

Brittany Lohan vs. Harmony Fisher

Sharper: “It’s become personal and Fisher wants to show Lohan that she has underestimated her again.”

Knots: “Well Lohan has Mary with her. She’s getting more violent. Harmony however threw down. This is not going to be pretty!”

Rachel Foxx vs. Josh Hudson

Sharper: “Two veterans of SCW going to clash. Rachel Foxx clearly driven given the recent successes of Regan Street and Brittany Lohan.”

Knots: “Hudson wants competition, I think he’s going to get that from that psycho in Rachel!”

Simon Lyman vs. Orlando Cruze vs. N.M.E.

Sharper: “Andre Jordan may not be part of this match anymore thanks to an injury suffered, but Orlando Cruze, Simon Lyman and N.M.E. have made clear their desire for an opportunity.”

Knots: “Yeah. They’re getting that. Whoever wins, they go to Night Two to challenge David Helms for the Adrenaline Championship!”

Marina Trent & Shilo Valiant vs. David Helms & Tommy Valentine

SCW World Tag Team Championship

Sharper: “And speaking of David Helms, The Next Level attacked Eternal and asked for this match. Eternal is going to get their shot at the World Tag Team Championship.”

Knots: “And Next Level is going to make it clear that Eternal is going to go back to the end of the line quickly in their reign. The Next Level wants to knock them down a peg early in their run!”

Sharper: “But that’s Night One. What about Night Two? On Sunday night…”

We then see the words “Night Two” come up on the screen.

Shilo Valiant vs. Thirteen

Hangman’s Horror

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant’s weekend won’t be done on Saturday. He’ll go into Sunday night to face Thirteen in a Hangman’s Horror match.”

Knots: “And this is a bit different. You don’t have to be choked out by the noose. You can be choked out by a submission hold too. Thirteen’s Last Breath is more dangerous than ever!”

Kennedy Street & Dawn Lohan vs. Ryan Watson & Thomas Watson vs. Joseph Englider & Aurora Sominiaire vs. Blake Mason & Robert Joseph Kelly

Elimination Rules

Sharper: “Four teams, this is what the Cashmere Mafia wanted.”

Knots: “If it’s anything like moments ago, they’re going to tear each other apart. Either way, elimination rules. Last team standing. Someone, namely me, thinks we could see a contender crowned!”

Hurse vs. Porno Lad

Sharper: “If it happens, it will happen on Sunday. Hurse and Porno Lad will clash. But the SCW needs to reach an agreement with Porno Lad.”

Knots: “Hurse gave SCW the terms, I just hope they don’t agree and that way maybe Hurse will just go away. Porno Lad…stop wasting your time with this guy.”

Devon Kayl vs. Katie Steward

Sharper: “Devon Kayl and Katie Steward both wanted a World Title shot. Kayl blames Katie for the reason why he’s not getting his shot on Night One.”

Knots: “Both are so full of themselves that they don’t realize someone else probably could’ve thrown them over the top. They’re going to fight and it’s gonna be fun to watch.”

Kelcey Wallace vs. Chad Evans vs. Gable Winchester

Sharper: “Perfection versus someone who claims to have found God against the Man of Win.”

Knots: “Someone’s got to win. It’s not going to be Perfect. Sorry Kelcey and Chad…but Gable’s known for doing just that!”

Winner from Night One vs. David Helms

SCW Adrenaline Championship

Sharper: “And that triple threat for the Adrenaline Championship shot…either N.M.E., Orlando Cruze or Simon Lyman will face David Helms on Night Two.”

Knots: “Three people that deserve the shot. Jordan’s not there. He blew it. Whoever faces it…we’re going to find out why Helms is a fighting champion.”

Christian Savior vs. Ravyn Taylor

SCW United States Championship

Sharper: “CHBK may not be there according to Ravyn, but regardless Savior will make sure he’s not a factor. Regardless, he’s focusing on beating Ravyn Taylor and regaining his title.”

Knots: “He can spear Ravyn all he wants. He’s still not gotten that win. This Sunday, Ravyn’s going to find her way to prove all of her doubters that she’s a damn good champion.”

Syren vs. Jake Starr/Regan Street?

SCW World Championship

Steel Cage Match

Sharper: “And we don’t quite known much except that Syren will face someone in a steel cage. Will it be for the World Championship? And if so, against who? Regan or Starr? We’ll find out later tonight, but regardless, Syren gets a chance to take Starr out and/or a shot at the World Championship.”

Knots: “This match should be for the World Title regardless. Either Syren is going to show Jake that he needs his wife to beat her or Syren and Regan are going to tear the house down as we see two of the best go at it.”

Sharper: “I’d argue we’re going to see two of the best go at it either way.”

We then see the Riding the Lightning logo come up on the screen before showing both show dates and times.

Sharper: “Both shows, one on Saturday, one on Sunday. And of course, Sunday Night Aggression will be live from the site of Night Two with all of the latest news and notes. Call your cable or satellite provider to order. You can order both separately or together as part of a combo deal. Those details will be found there.”

Knots: “Every year, it shakes things up. And a lot of people are going to have to be on high alert. Two big shows. A lot can change.”

Sharper: “This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, live on pay per view!”

The scene cuts backstage to show Marisa Condolesa standing at the interview area. Thirteen stands next to her. The crowd boos.

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen I am here with Thirteen who in mere moments will be facing Devon Kayl-“

Thirteen: “Stop…I don’t care about Kayl. Aside from the fact that I look at him as an opponent. Don’t take this as my looking past him either. But at this point, I think it’s safe to say that both myself and Shilo are looking to this weekend’s festivities. Shilo has a full table ahead of him. Tag Team Championships on Saturday. Good luck by the way. But on Sunday, he and I will do battle in a match where the point is to choke your opponent until they pass out. But in previous incarnations, a noose had to be used. The visual aspect is undeniable. But it really lacks anything for the person doing it. This Sunday though, we can use our hands. I can lock you in the Last Breath and force you to feel the breath leaving your body. I can feel it too. And that is where I will enjoy it most. I said two weeks ago that I wanted you to speak. Give you last words before I psychologically end you this Sunday. It looks like you will not humour me…or your so-called Necrophiliacs if you still call them that. Ironically, Marina may become one of those herself…especially if she chooses to stay with your deadened body when I choke you out in front of the world…”

Thirteen smirks as he turns and walks off. Marisa looks a bit stunned by the comments before she turns to the camera.

Marisa: “Thirteen faces Devon Kayl in our main event…next.”

Marisa mouths “wow” as we then go to break.

Devon Kayl vs. Thirteen

"THIS... IS... KAYL TV!"

The opening chords of the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme play over the crowd, bringing the raucous SCW crowd to their feet in a unified chorus of cheers. After the opening chords and drum beats, the opening guitar riff to "The Sound of Madness" by Shinedown plays. Devon Kayl steps out on top of the ramp, with the lovely Skylar Desoubrais by his side.

"Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,
A kick in the ass,
So paranoid. . .
Watch your back!!"

Kayl and Skylar begin to walk down to the ring. As they walk, Kayl reaches out to slap the fans' hands along the way. He grabs a camera from a fan along the railing and, handing it to Skylar, has her take a picture of him and that fan for the fan.

"Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that the cryin to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine."

Once at the bottom of the ramp, Kayl slides under the bottom rope after a short running start. He pulls himself up and moves over to the corner, jumping onto the second rope without using the top to balance himself.

"I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here to explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?"

Kayl jumps off the ropes. By this time, Skylar is already standing in the centre of the ring, where Kayl joins her. He wraps his arm around her waist, smiling to the people around, before a quick kiss. Kayl then runs back and forth, bouncing off the ropes, as he prepares for the match.

Sharper: “Devon Kayl is going to look to get some final momentum, but so will his opponent. Thirteen did not have the Supreme Saturday that he’d like and he made it clear tonight, he has every intention to squeeze the last bit of life from Shilo Valiant this Sunday.”

Knots: “Well if he can do that tonight against Kayl, he’ll be getting points in my book. He’ll be causing a blowhard to pass out. That’s money right there.”

The lights in the arena go out, prompting a small surprised pop from the fans. The opening of "Hell" by Disturbed starts to play as the entire arena slowly becomes bathed in a mixture of red and purple lights and the entire stage is covered in a heavy cloud of smoke. The Tron is showing a clip of a hooded figure walking through a city scene of pure chaos underneath a blood red sky, unfazed by the people frantically running around him, ignoring their fighting and looting and desperate attempts to flee as he wanders past all the burning buildings and rubble, as well as the fallen bodies of those who couldn't get to safety. The entire scene looks disturbing as some of the younger fans try to hide their eyes. The figure on the Tron suddenly stops and turns to stare out at the fans through the screen before he slowly begins to push back his hood...

#Rrwoooaaaw!#

As that roar blasts through the PA system, startling quite a few fans in the process, and the main part of the song kicks in, flames erupt from the stage as the smoke begins to disappear. The image on the Tron now shifts to show scenes of the chaos caused by the Angel of Death throughout not only SCW, but his entire career as well, intermixed with in-ring action and shots of him raising a title belt over his head, often being a bloody mess as he does so. As the lyrics start and the smoke completely fades, a figure wearing a hooded cloak becomes visible. With a sick smirk visible from under the hood the figure begins to slowly move down the ramp towards the ring, the fans erupting into heavy jeers as they already know who is under the cloak. When he reaches ringside, the figure leaps up onto the apron and steps between the ropes before pulling the cloak off and throwing it out of the ring, revealing himself to be none other than Thirteen. The jeering becomes much louder, though Thirteen's sadistic smile never leaves his lips. He slowly drops down to one knee in the center of the ring and slowly does a cutthroat motion before slowly spreading his arms out to the side, palms to the sky as his face becomes hidden by his black hair. The lights slowly return to normal as Thirteen rises and heads to his corner.

Sharper: “Thirteen out here. About to face off against Kayl. Thirteen a former World Champion so if Kayl gets the job done, you have to think he’ll have more ammunition to his claims that he should be in World Title contention.”

Knots: “Great and he’ll never shut up. He’s already off commentary. Thank God for that. Let’s not give him ammo. Thirteen. Get it done.”

The bell sounds and Thirteen and Kayl turn to each other. Kayl walks around the ring before turning to Thirteen and moving towards him. Thirteen however quickly kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a hard right and then another. He whips him back into the ropes before firing him across. Kayl bounces off and Thirteen shoulders him down. Kayl rolls over gets up and Thirteen catches him with a forearm. Kayl hits the ropes. Thirteen kicks him again and Kayl stumbles to the corner. Thirteen kicks him in the ribs and then again and again and again. Kayl drops down to a seated position. Thirteen then places his foot against the throat of Kayl and pushes down. The crowd boos as Kayl struggles.

Thirteen steps off and walks around as Skylar yells at the official. Kayl rolls over and grabs at the ropes, slowly stirring. Thirteen walks over and nails him with a hard right. Kayl walks along the ropes.

Sharper: “Thirteen going right after Kayl and even choking him in the ropes. He’s not letting up at all.”

Knots: “That’s why he’s a former World Champion That’s why he’s confident he’ll get a rematch soon enough. That’s why he’s confident he’ll beat Shilo this Sunday!”

Thirteen kicks him again and Kayl goes to the other corner. Thirteen follows after him and Kayl swings and connects with a hard right. Thirteen however kicks him again. He then whips him across the ring, but Kayl spins through and sends Thirteen in. Kayl runs after him, but Thirteen nails him with a boot to the face. Kayl stumbles back, turning around and Thirteen grabs him from behind and hits a back suplex. He goes for the pin.

Kayl kicks out. He rolls over and Thirteen grabs him. He then starts to go for the Last Breath. The crowd roars, but Kayl flips him forward. Thirteen rolls through and gets up and turns to Kayl, but Kayl nails him with a dropkick. Thirteen gets back up and Kayl grabs him and throws him back with a snap suplex.

Sharper: “Kayl taking Thirteen down.”

Knots: “Thirteen was looking to make this fast!”

Sharper: “Looking for the Last Breath. May be thinking about reminding people how quickly he can lock that in and how hard it is to get out of it.”

Thirteen gets up and Kayl gets up and chops him. The crowd woos. He chops him again and fires him into the ropes. Thirteen bounces off and Kayl runs over and hits a jumping calf kick to the jaw. He turns and goes for the pin.

Thirteen kicks out. He rolls over and Kayl grabs him and lifts him up with a side headlock and punches him in the face. Thirteen falls to a knee and Kayl runs into the ropes and hits a running clothesline. He then gets up and walks over to the corner and pulls himself up to the middle rope. He then jumps off and hits a jumping stomp to the face. Thirteen rolls over, holding his face and Kayl goes for the pin.

Thirteen kicks out. He rolls over and Kayl grabs him and slowly lifts him up. He kicks him in the ribs and hits another snap suplex. He then exits to the apron.

Sharper: “Kayl striking quick and using some quick suplexes to keep Thirteen down. He’s now going to the corner and going high-risk. He’s a former Adrenaline Champion. He knows that well.”

Knots: “So is Thirteen! And he knows how to counter that. Remember this time last year…he was dominating that division!”

Kayl climbs up to the top rope. Thirteen stirs a bit and Kayl quickly jumps down to stop him. He goes to stomp Thirteen, but Thirteen turns, grabs the foot and takes Kayl down with a dragon screw. Kayl gets back up and Thirteen grabs him from behind and throws him back with a bridging German suplex.

Kayl rolls out of it. He starts to get up and Thirteen grabs him and hits a reverse suplex. He then rolls him over and sits him up. He goes for another Last Breath. The crowd roars as Kayl gets his hand up and blocks it. He then manages to lean back and kicks Thirteen in the head. Thirteen staggers back to the ropes. He gets up and Kayl gets to his feet and runs at Thirteen. Thirteen turns and shoves him into the ropes, but Kayl bounces off and hits the Static Interference. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Static Interference! Kayl connects, driving Thirteen into the mat.”

Knots: “Kayl’s lucky. Second time he’s managed to somehow avoid the Last Breath!”

Kayl gets up and Thirteen stirs. Kayl grabs him and rolls him over and goes for the pin.

Thirteen kicks out. Kayl turns and grabs Thirteen. He then lifts him up and knees him in the ribs. He fires him into the ropes. Thirteen bounces off the ropes. Kayl kicks him in the ribs. He turns and runs into the ropes and goes for a clothesline. Thirteen ducks. Kayl stops. He then turns and goes for a superkick, but Thirteen ducks that. He then grabs Kayl from behind and locks in the Last Breath before managing to hook the leg and force him down. The crowd roars and boos as Thirteen pulls back. Kayl frantically reaches around, trying to grab at the ropes, before tapping out. The crowd boos as Thirteen continues to hold on.

Sharper: “Thirteen wins it and with the Last Breath too!”

Knots: “Third time’s the charm!”

Sharper: “Well come on…let go!”

Thirteen holds on for a bit longer before letting go and pushing Kayl away. He sits up and the referee raises his arm. He then slowly gets up as the crowd boos.

Knots: “You think that guy’s ready to choke Shilo Valiant out on Sunday?!”

Sharper: “I’d bet on it. But as we saw earlier, Shilo is focused. That clash this Sunday is going to be off the page.”

The crowd continues to boo as the shot focuses on Thirteen as he looks out into the crowd for a bit longer.

“Rescue Me” starts to play as we then see a shot of Syren walking through the backstage area. The crowd boos seeing her.

Sharper: “Well, we’re going to find out the fate of that young lady right there. Is she challenging for the World Championship or not? How will her Trios Tournament shot be interpreted?”

Knots: “We both know how it should be!”

Sharper: “Syren is heading to the ring. We’re going to hear from the Board of Directors…next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns open in the arena and a few moments pass before the lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the centre of the stage. “Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system as the screens come alive.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

The crowd boos before we see Syren walk out from the back, by herself. The boos continue and Syren doesn’t even bother posing as she walks to the ring. She sticks her hand out to some fans as she heads to the ring.

Knots: “There’s someone with focus! Don’t worry Syren! I’m here to support you!”

Sharper: “She’s out here alone. CHBK isn’t here. The Next Level both still dealing with the issues thanks to Marina hitting the Nocturnal Mist on both of them.”

Knots: “And Ravyn Taylor is probably still feeling the effects of that spear.”

Sharper: “Well, Syren wants to know what her weekend will look like. Will it be for the World Title or not?”

Syren walks up the steel steps and steps through the ropes. She then storms across the ring and asks for a microphone. She is handed on and she turns around and heads across the ring to the ropes.

Syren: “Alright, so I am so not waiting any longer than I have to. I want to know whether I’m going to screwed yet again or not and I want to know how totally pissed off I’m going to be this Sunday. I thought I made my damn Trios Tournament contract plain and simple, but some people want to play games and I’d love to know who. But whoever is coming out here to tell me what you old guys in suits have to say about my future, come on out and let me know so I know if I’m going to be champion in my hometown or not!”

Syren walks back towards the middle of the ring.

Knots: “Yeah, come on out! The Board doesn’t have a leg to stand on in this one! Just give her what she deserves!”

A few more moments pass before we see Bob Tomlinson appear on the big screen. Syren rolls her eyes as Tomlinson appears on the screen.

Syren: “Oh great. You couldn’t even be bothered to come here. This means you’re going to screw me over.”

Tomlinson: “Syren, if you would allow us to present our findings before you pass judgment, it would appreciated.”

Syren: “Why? Every other time you guys screw me over. Probably because you’re all just jealous of what I can do and the fact that I have proven I’m the BEST WOMEN’S WRESTLER IN THE WORLD!”

The crowd boos. Tomlinson just pauses before finally responding.

Tomlinson: “Syren, we have been looking over this matter since it was brought to our attention last week. And you see, there is some issue with the wording you publicly used when you announced your intention to cash in the Trios Tournament contract to face Jake Starr for the World Championship, in a steel cage, on Night Two of Riding the Lightning Weekend. Your intentions are clear. You would like to face Jake Starr on Night Two in a steel cage.”

Knots: “Brought to their attention…someone squealed!”

Syren clearly is unhappy.

Syren: “Yes, but-“

Tomlinson: “Syren, please.”

Syren: “Why? You’re going to tell me I may be screwed out of a title shot if Regan Street gets it first!”

Tomlinson: “Again, please hold judgment until we have finished-“

Syren: “And wait…who the hell brought it up? You said it was brought up last week-“

Tomlinson: “I cannot divulge that.”

Syren: “Can’t…someone is trying to screw-“

Tomlinson: “Please Syren! Listen or we will refuse to give you our ruling until this Sunday!”

Syren just glares.

Tomlinson: “While you may have publicly stated your desire to face Jake Starr for the title at Riding the Lightning Night Two in a steel cage…but you also stated you wanted to face the SCW World Champion, Jake Starr. The fact is, you’re assuming he will be champion and for all intents and purposes, while we understand your personal issues with Jake Starr may be a motivating factor, but you made clear your desire to face the World Champion. You made it clear you wanted to win the title in your hometown. So with that said, we are going to interpret your Trios Tournament contract such that you face the World Champion on Night Two in a steel cage. We are going to accept this contract for a World Championship match and you will face that champion whether it is Regan Street or Jake Starr!”

The crowd boos loudly as Syren just looks relieved before smiling.

Syren: “Thank God…for once, you did the right thing. But why didn’t you just state that before….Who tried to screw with my shot?!”

Tomlinson: “I’m sorry Syren, as I said, I cannot divulge that. Good luck this Sunday.”

Syren just looks down, clearly thinking. The crowd starts to roar a bit as Syren just looks up at the screen before then turning and looking out at the crowd as Tomlinson disappears from the screen.

Syren: “Well, I think I know who as clearly they are nothing more than a douchey coward who can’t handle that I will destroy them in that cage if they get past Regan. Jake Starr, you want to pull this crap, I will make you pay as yet again, you need to play games…your family…now this…I will beat you and win the World Championship.”

The camera pans out as we then see Jake Starr slide into the ring as the crowd roars. Syren starts to turn before going to continue only for Jake Starr to run forward and drill Syren with the SCW World Championship. The crowd erupts in cheers as Syren hits the mat and rolls over, holding her head in pain. Starr then drops down to his knees and leans over her, shoving the belt in her face. He then grabs the microphone.

Starr: “Syren…I don’t know what the hell you’re blubbering on about. But all I’ll say is I beat you once, I’ll beat you again and I’ll now do it on your terms and in front of your hometown. And the world will know that Jake Starr is champion to stay and you’re going to have to deal with it! And be jealous…”

Starr throws the microphone down before then nailing Syren again in the back of the head with the title. Syren rolls over.

Knots: “A cheap shot! Another cheap shot!”

Sharper: “He said he’d come after Syren! He did just that! He went after her and took her out! Jake got both Regan and Syren! Can he do that this weekend?!”

Knots: “No! That’s not going to happen!”

Sharper: “We’ll find out on Saturday and Sunday night…Riding the Lightning Weekend! Two shows! Big nights all around!”

Starr gets up and holds the title over his head. He goes over to the corner and climbs up to the middle rope and stands in the corner holding the title over his head as the crowd cheers and Breakdown slowly fades to black…
