“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Kelcey Wallace nailing Bree Lancaster with the Perfect Ending, followed by a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, before turning a shot of Jake Starr pumping up the crowd on his way to the ring, before turning into a shot of Ravyn Taylor sitting in the corner, waiting for the start of a match. We then see a shot of Katie Steward holding the Women’s Championship before cutting to a shot of Selena Frost hitting Vixen Cain with the Defying Gravity at Supreme Saturday: Just Desserts.

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

MAIN SHOW:

The opening bars of “The Old Me” by Memphis May Fire play as the Breakdown logo flies across the screen.

I'm thinking about the old me

'Cause I've been feeling empty

I never used to be so dead inside

Shots of Selena Frost celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Minerva with Konrad Raab standing tall in the ring. Following this is Cid Turner punching CHBK in the concourse. Ace Marshall hitting the Air Marshall on an opponent follows.

I think I lost my memory

I can't remember carefree

And all my days turn into fight or flight

Ricky James hitting the Art of the Deal on Shilo Valiant follows before we see Syren hitting the Total Makeover on an opponent. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Asher Hayes and Cid Turner coming out of their A/C unit.

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

Holly Adams throwing Syren into the windshield of a pink convertible follows before we see Kandis and Tommy Valentine holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Kennedy Street standing on the ropes follows before we see Jordan Majors hitting a Cash Out on Sienna Swann. Glory Braddock hitting the London Plunge on a downed opponents is next before we see Xander Valentine booting an opponent in the face.

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear

Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear

'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)

Trying to get back to who I used to be

Where is the old me?

Chris Cannon spearing Konrad Raab follows before we see a shot of Gavin Taylor on his way to the ring, and then a shot of Kimberly Williams licking a staple gun. The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen and remains on it for a few moments.

We then cut to a live shot of the inside of the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

Sharper: “We roll into Portland, Oregon for the final stop before Holly-Wood of the South in eleven days!”

The cameras continue to pan across the crowd. The cameras then cut to the cage hanging over the ring as the crowd cheers some more. We then cut to ringside where Adam Sharper, Jonathan Knots and Simon Lyman are at ringside.

Sharper: “Hello everyone. Adam Sharper here with Simon Lyman and Jonathan Knots and folks, tonight, some big matches in that ring, but also big questions.”

Lyman: “Big questions indeed – who is going to be the challenger for Selena Frost’s World Championship at Holly-Wood of the South? Kandis is out. No replacement has been named yet. Will one be?’

Knots: “And Asher Hayes, Autumn Valentine and Christy Matthews still need to find a fourth. The Tactical Warfare match will now see it being four on four and no answers yet. Asher, Autumn, Christy…better pull out your phones and make some calls!”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, we have a big tag match taking place tonight. Four individuals all involved in the US Title tournament which will take place at Holly-Wood of the South too. Owen Lee and Alexis Quinne will team up to face Gavin Taylor and Glory Braddock. This should be another wild night.”

The opening chords of “You’ll Know My Name” play as the crowd roars. A few moments pass before Shaun Cruze walks out from the back, wearing a suit. He looks around and waves at the crowd before starting to make his way down to the ring.

Knots: “We may have answers sooner rather than later.”

Sharper: “We may. Shaun Cruze last week announced the US Title tournament. Also confirmed the four on four nature of Tactical Warfare. In a short period, he’s had to pivot and make some big decisions.”

Cruze walks down to the ringside area and high-fives a few fans before walking up the steel steps. He then walks along the apron and steps into the ring. He looks out at the crowd before then walking to the corner and being handed a microphone by Jason Phillips. Shaun takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. His music fades out. The crowd buzzes a bit as Shaun looks around.

Cruze: “Thank you everyone here. It’s great to be here in Portland!”

The crowd cheers as Cruze looks around.

Cruze: “And it seems like I’m making it a habit coming out here with big announcements, but sometimes that’s needed. Because last week on this show, we were informed that Kandis would not be able to compete at Holly-Wood of the South against Selena Frost to challenge for the SCW World Championship.”

The crowd boos.

Cruze: “Now as I promised her fiancé, I would do what I can, should she return, and we hope she does-“

The crowd boos. Cruze looks out at the crowd.

Cruze: “…we hope she does, I would certainly consider it. But at this point, unfortunately, sometimes we need to coldly move on. And we are heading into Holly-Wood of the South with our World Champion, Selena Frost, no longer with a challenger.”

Cruze looks around as the crowd boos a bit.

Cruze: “Now we promised a World Title shot and I am going to make sure we get on. Especially after everything we’ve been saying, what Selena has been saying…integrity of the title matters. Good challengers matter. As does the profile of the title by having it defended on every major event.”

Cruze looks out.

Cruze: “So…allow me to introduce the man who will be challenging Selena Frost at Holly-Wood of the South…”

Cruze looks around.

Cruze: “And looking to hold the title one more time, maybe even celebrating with it in other ways…Tommy Valentine!”

Cruze turns to the entrance way as the crowd roars and then boos as the arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display four words.

HEART FILLED WITH HATE

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the words on screen until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits.

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"FREE-DOM LALALALA FREE-DOM FOLLOW ME!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start jeering, the heat almost palpable in the air. The lights come on as Tommy Valentine walks out from the back. He looks around the arena before starting to walk to the ring.

Sharper: “Shaun Cruze deciding that the best replacement for Kandis is her fiancé, Tommy Valentine!”

Knots: “And he’s certainly got the pedigree. Former World Champion. Done it all.”

Lyman: “Not how you want to get a title shot though. But at the same time, we know Tommy does not care for Selena!”

Tommy Valentine walks down to the ring and looks around, a scowl on his face. Shaun Cruze looks at him as Tommy climbs up the steel steps and then steps into the ring. He steps forward, looking at Shaun Cruze. Cruze and Valentine share some words before Cruze hands him the microphone. Tommy takes it as Shaun Cruze exits the ring. He walks down the steel steps and then walks to the rampway, heading to the back. Tommy Valentine walks around the ring, taking his time as his music fades out. Tommy stops in the middle of the ring and looks out at the crowd.

Tommy: “Well Selena…you won’t be dodging any bullets.”

Tommy looks out at the crowd, stepping to the ropes.

Tommy: “Do you think I want to be in this spot? Challenging for the World Championship when we all know this was supposed to be Kandis’s time. For her to finally shut up every doubter that said, or didn’t think, she could be here.”

Tommy looks down and smirks.

Tommy: “But thank God I hate your guts, Selena!”

Tommy looks at the camera.

Tommy: “I hate how you look. I hate how you sound. I hate your stupid little catchphrase. I hate that you’re World Champion. And I hate that Kandis won’t be knocking on your ass and throwing your bullshit righteousness down your throat!”

Tommy unleashes as he walks around the ring.

Tommy: “But if Kandis can’t do it, I then will. And I will take that World Championship from your waist, put it around mind, and make sure Kandis has all the motivation she needs to come back to this ring and put it around HER waist.”

An emergency siren begins to go off, as a black and grey WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT appears on the screen.

3-3-3-

Glass on either side of the stage shatters as "Dead to me" by THESE WOLVES begins to play throughout the arena. Blue and green strobe lights begin spinning over the arena. The crowd boos however as Ace Marshall steps out on stage.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall coming out here and last week, he and Matt Hodges attacked Selena Frost and Giovanni Aries. He’ll also be facing Tommy Valentine tonight.”

Knots: “He’s alone. Where’s Lexy? Where’s Hodges?”

Ace Marshall looks down at Tommy and then starts to walk to the ring. Tommy Valentine looks at him, Ace’s music blaring in the background. Ace Marshall saunters to ringside and then starts to walk around the ring. Ace walks over to Jason Phillips and demands a microphone. Phillips grabs one and Ace takes it from him and shoves him back. He then turns to the ring.

Ace: “Cut the music.”

Ace walks over to the ring and steps up the steel steps. Tommy looks at him.

Ace: “Well isn’t this nice…guess it does answer the question of who you sleep with gets to you t the top?”

The crowd hos.

Ace: “I guess I need to find better people to screw.”

Ace steps into the ring. He then looks up at Tommy.

Tommy: “You mean the crazy you’ve put it in for a long time didn’t get it done.”

Ace: “Don’t worry. I’ll just do it the old-fashioned way tonight. I mean since Matt Hodges is proving he has no stroke and is full of a lot of BS…I’m just going to beat you tonight. And I won’t need a chair to do it.”

Ace looks at Tommy as Tommy steps up to him.

Ace: “Then I’ll beat Syren. And then there will be no choice. Because either you rise to the occasion and do your little plan here, give Kandis something to care about…or Selena Frost will make everyone believe…and I’ll then take a chair to whatever’s left of whatever reign I have to.”

Tommy: “And what happens if I drop you on your ass tonight, Ace?”

Ace smirks.

BELIEVE IT!

The SCW Universe are on their feet as “Kings and Queens” by Ava Max as plays throughout the arena, snow “falling” along the electronic floor and screens as, out from the back walks the Snow Queen, Selena Frost, taking in the crowd of the SCW Universe. The SCW World Championship sits over her shoulder. She also has a microphone in her hand. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “And the World Champion is joining us.”

Selena: “Well, boys…I seem to be the popular one.”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “I’ll first deal with you Tommy – You’re stepping up in the spot. I know you can go. But I hope you have something to tell Kandis because when we’re done at Holly-Wood of the North, you’re going to find out that I am not going to be an easy match and I am going to hold onto this title however I have to within the confines of a legal match!”

The crowd cheers.

Selena: “Kandis won’t have any motivation except watching me hold this title and as I said last week…if she comes back and I am still holding this title, we have unfinished business. BELIEVE IT Tommy…you’re not going to ride this to any return to the top!”

The crowd roars as Tommy steps back and looks at her and scoffs. Selena then turns to Ace.

Selena: “As for you Ace, last week, you and Matt Hodges showed how cowardly you are. But if you happen to somehow get past Syren, and trust me, she’s going to do everything she can to kick your ass…”

The crowd roars.

Selena: “And if Shaun says you’re next…I’ll give you a repeat of Rise to Greatness! Remember?”

Ace: “Yeah, I do. And if you think nothing’s changed since then, you are as stupid as you sound. Now get your dumbass cult to chant We Believe while you get off on it!”

The crowd boos as Selena Frost looks at the crowd. A “We Believe!” chant breaks out. Ace mockingly uses his fingers as conductor’s wands while Tommy Valentine rolls his eyes.

Selena: “They get it. Tommy…you will too…Ace….”

Selena scoffs and turns as “Kings and Queens” plays. Selena turns and heads to the back.

Sharper: “Thinks turning up for Tommy Valentine and Ace Marshall. Selena Frost having an issue with both-“

Ace then lunges at Tommy and Tommy ducks as Ace misses a clothesline. He then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. Tommy turns to him annoyed as Ace smirks. He walks to the rampway. He glances back and then turns to the stage.

Sharper: “And Ace trying to get a cheap shot in on Tommy.”

Lyman: “Tommy never taking his eyes of Ace. The mark of a veteran. But you can see how everyone is just a bit more intense again here.”

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine will face Ace Marshall tonight before then challenging Selena Frost for the World Title at Holly-Wood of the South.”

Selena disappears to the back as Ace Marshall starts to walk to the back. Tommy remains in the ring as Breakdown cuts away.

COMMERCIALS

Selena Frost and Syren are talking backstage as Breakdown returns.

Selena: “Please take out that jackass.”

Syren: “Oh I plan to. After last week…sometimes I need to just remind myself I can shut them up.”

Selena: “Please do.”

Syren: “Just be careful what you wish for…after Ace…”

Syren glances at the World Title. The crowd roars.

Selena: “I would be an honour.”

Syren: “Just think if you would’ve said that to me a year ago….six months ago?”

Syren turns and heads off as Selena Frost watches her leave and then heads in the opposite direction.

Kimberly Williams vs. Diamond Steele

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.  Already in the ring, Diamond Steele!

The crowd cheers modestly for Diamond Steele.

Phillips: And her opponent…from Boston, Massachusetts, she is The Woman Scorned and she supports the unionization of Supreme Championship Wrestling, she is Kimberly Williams!

“Yo SCW, let's kick it!

Ice, ice Kimmy!

Ice, ice Kimmy!”

The opening beat to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” begins to play, but it is clearly not “Ice Ice Baby” that we are hearing, nor is it Vanilla Ice singing.  This is none other than the voice of the deranged Kimberly Williams.  The crowd comes alive with cheers as Kimberly steps out onto the stage, singing this parody song, dressed in her wrestling gear and a denim jacket and a baseball cap turned backwards and a gold chain around her neck.  Her trusty and loyal friend The Dalek rolls out onto the stage next to her.  The Dalek is wearing an oversized baseball cap, big enough just to fit it, and the cap is also turned backward.

Dalek: WORD TO YOUR MOTHER!  HOMIE!  THUG LIFE!

“Alright stop, collaborate and listen

Kim is back with my brand new mission

Underground dreams grabs a hold of me tightly

Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know

Turn off the lights, and I'll glow

To the extreme, I rock this knife like a maniac…”

Kim produces her knife glove named Betty White and wield its menacingly. She uses it to point to the stage, at Diamond Steele.

“Carve up that fool like a Thanksgiving Turkey

Pay attention Oktoberfest, that’s your future ya see

I'm killing you both like a homicidal maniac

Deadly, The Woman Scorned is always deadly

I aint afraid of committing no felony”

The Dalek rolls up to a fan and offers out a sign that says “Kim is the real Underground Champion” then it rolls over to another fan and offers the fan a Kimberly Williams t-shirt then it goes over to another fan and gives them a sign that says “Fire Shaun Cruiserweight”.

“Love it or leave it, you better gangway

You better hit bull's eye, Kim Williams don't play

If there was a problem, yo, I'll murder it

Check out the hook while my Dalek revolves it”

Dalek: ICE ICE KIMMY! ICE ICE KIMMY! ICE ICE KIMMY! ICE ICE KIMMY!

In one leap Kimberly jumps onto the ring apron.  The Dalek begins to roll around the ringside area.

“Underground

My parties are violent

With the skulls crashed in, and the blood spilled and spent

Gimme a can of kerosene, this is no faking

I’ll burn MFers like a pound of bacon”

Dalek rolls over to the announce desk of Sharper, Knots, and Lyman.  Dalek rolls over to Knots.

Dalek: WORD TO YOUR MOTHER MY HOMIE!  HOMIE!  HOMIEEEEEEEEEEE!

“I’m a genocidal psychopath

With a bitch named Diamond in my path

You gonna feel the Shadowblade and get a concussion

Jealous, no need to hate

Don’t be like that washed up has-ben Shaun Cruiserweight!

If you were a problem, yo, I'll murder it

Check out the hook while my Dalek revolves it!”

Dalek: ICE ICE KIMMY! ICE ICE KIMMY! ICE ICE KIMMY! ICE ICE KIMMY!

Sharper: “What in the world…”

Knots: “Look. I just want to say…we have a drug testing policy in SCW. I swear!”

Lyman: “Oh yeah. I was under it!”

The bell rings.  Right after removing her hat and chain, Kim turns around and gets clotheslined by Steele.  Diamond with a whip into the ropes and a flapjack.  Diamond with a dropkick and then a deep arm drag into an arm bar.  Kimberly fights her way back to her feet and Steele switches to a hammerlock.  Kimberly counters into a hammerlock of her own, smacks Diamond in the back of her head, and releases the hold.  Kim waves at Diamond, further enraging her.  Steele charges into a scissors kick from Williams.

Sharper: “Williams trying to focus here after running down anyone she doesn’t like in that rap.”

Knots: “Well Diamond’s also been shown up. She’s the singer!”

Kimberly with another scissors kick.  Kim locks Diamond up from behind and throws her with a Full Nelson release suplex.  Kim goes over into the cover…

1…Kickout!

Lyman: “Kim going into an early cover! And Diamond emphatically out after one!”

Kim whips Diamond into the ropes.  Kim lowers her head early and Steele kicks her in the face.  She throws a superkick but Kim catches the foot and then delivers a dragon screw.  Williams applies a figure four leg lock.  Diamond refuses to give in.  She fights towards the ropes but can’t quit get there.  As she gets close Dalek rolls over and begins shouting…

Dalek: TAP! TAP! I ORDER YOU TO TAP YOU HUMAN FLESH CREATURE! TAP!

Steele ignores the drone.  Instead she fights harder and reaches the ropes, forcing a break.  Kimberly goes outside, drags Diamond over to the steel ring post and applies a figure four on the post.  The referee orders for the release.  Kim doesn’t so he begins his mandatory count.

1!

2!

3!

4! Kimberly breaks the hold.

Sharper: “Kimberly using the five count now.”

Lyman: “Diamond fighting. Not giving up. Refusing to give in!”

Williams steps back into the ring.  She attempts to reapply the figure four but Diamond counters by kicking her in the butt, sending Kim shoulder first into the steel ring post.  Kim staggers out of the corner into a belly to back suplex from Diamond.  Diamond pulls herself up and tries to shake some feeling back into her leg.  She drops Kim with a lariat.  She drops her with a ddt.  She goes for a scoop slam but Kim floats over, lands on her feet, and then snaps off Morrigan’s Wrath, the superkick variant that floors Diamond.

Sharper: “And Morrigan’s Wrath!”

Knots: “Diamond trying to get back into this, but Kim catches her!”

Kimberly waits as Diamond negotiates her way back to her feet.  Kim picks her leg and snaps off another dragon screw.  Kimberly then applies an inverted figure four. Diamond still refuses to quit, despite the pain.  After about a  minute in the hold she reaches the ropes, forcing a break.  Williams goes for a traditional figure four but Diamond counters into a small package.

1…

2…Kickout!

Kimberly pops back up and as Diamond slowly pulls herself up, Kim immediately drops her with a scissors kick.  Kimberly pulls Diamond up and sets her up for a German suplex but Diamond reverses into a German of her own, bridging into the cover…

1…

2…Kickout!

Diamond tries to pull herself up but the leg is still hurting.  Kim is up quicker.  Williams chop blocks Diamond’s leg.

Sharper: “And back to the leg!”

Lyman: “Just an onslaugfht. Every time Diamond gets something going. Kim quickly takes her down by going to something.”

Kimberly pulls Diamond up and drills her with a German suplex, sending her back and neck first into the corner!  Williams then goes over to a neutral corner and waits as Diamond tries to pull herself up.  Steele is up to her knees when Kimberly charges in and knees her in the head with Shadowblade!

Dalek: ICE! ICE! KIMMY!

Williams goes back to the neutral corner as Diamond is nearly out of it but not quite.  She waits as Diamond again tries to pull herself up.  Kim charges in and drills her with a second straight Shadowblade to the head!

Sharper: “Damn it! A second Shadowblade!”

Lyman: “Kim is sending a message to Konrad, to Shaun, to anyone!”

Knots: “Shaun said to earn her shot. Kimberly Williams has come with a plan and Diamond Steele, despite her experience, just has no answers!”

Kimberly drags Diamond out to the center of the ring where she immediately steps through and locks in her sharpshooter variant called Scorned.  It is clear that Diamond Steele is already out after two running knee strikes to the head, and now this sharpshooter, so the referee calls for the bell.

Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has stopped this match.  Your winner via knockout…Kimberly Williams!

The crowd boos as Kim Williams stands up. The official raises her arm. Kim looks around and laughs.

Sharper: “Kim Williams aggressive at the end, getting the win.”

Lyman: “Well a strong win. So either she’s sending a message or trying to show that she’ll take this serious…or both.”

Sharper: “Konrad Raab awaits at Holly-Wood of the South. Currently, a non-title match.”

Kim Williams then walks around the ring, waving her arms back and forth as the crowd boos her.

Backstage, Hairless Penguin is talking to a female ring crew member. Dancing Bear walks over as the crew member walks off.

Bear: “Damn Penguin, hitting up? What’s her name?”

Penguin: “Alice. But she’s a crew member. Just trying to-“

Bear then thrusts his hips.

Penguin: “Stop that! We’re here to expose Ravyn.”

Bear: “Hell yeah!”

Penguin: “Would you focus! We can do something good. Really be heroes! “

Bear: “Pfft…lame-o. Why would we do that?”

Penguin looks around.

Penguin: “Lexy loves heroes.”

Bear just looks forward, presumably wide-eyed in realization, although covered by his mask.

Bear: “Who we gotta kill?”

Penguin: “Not going to kill anyone-“

Bear: “What burning building-“

Penguin: “No burning building! Just Nicole. We gotta save Nicole.”

Bear: “I told you! I didn’t MEAN to hit her. I did not hit her. I did nooot!”

Penguin looks at Bear as the crowd roars. Penguin then snaps out of it.

Penguin: “That’s why we got air time. Just follow my lead. Okay? We’re going to expose Ravyn for the fraud she is and convince Nicole she’s being used.”

Bear: “And Lexy?”

Penguin: “Yeah…she’ll….”

Penguin stammers a bit.

Penguin: “Yeah. All good Bear.”

Bear: “Yusssss!”

The two head off to plot.

COMMERCIALS

We return from commercial to see Jarvis walking backstage at a vigorous pace before coming up onto a group of backstage personal. Jarvis starts walking up to each of them one by one.

Jarvis: “Hey, you know where Jessica is?”

Jarvis makes a couple quick steps to the next person.

Jarvis: “Winters, I need to know where she is at!”

Jarvis again moves to the next person.

Jarvis: “Do you?”

Again same results with just a shake of the head no. Jarvis gets frustrated and punches one of the backstage personal. The man falls to the ground before Jarvis takes off on his search for Jessica.

Jenni Anderson in action

The scene opens up at ringside as we see a Black woman dressed in red and blue gear.

Phillips: “Fans, the following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a ten minute time limit. First, in the ring, from Portland, Oregon, she is Sean Johnston!”

Johnston throws her arm up as the crowd cheers for her.

“MONEY

MONEY

MONEY MAKE HER SMILE…”

The chorus line to Bruno Mars’ “Money Make Her Smile” plays out over the crowd before the introductory organ plays out, leading into the full song. Jenni Anderson steps out from the back, confidently striding as she stands before the booing crowd, clad in her ring gear and a long fur coat. She lowers a pair of obscenely expensive sunglasses and begins walking to the ring. Once at the foot of the ring, she stands and instructs the referee to open the ropes for her, which undoubtedly happens. Climbing onto the apron, she moves through the ropes and into the ring. 

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Reno, Nevada, she is the Queenpin, Jenni Anderson!”

Once in the ring, she lowers the coat down her back, looking out over the crowd as she removes her sunglasses entirely. She then sheds her entrance attire and passes them gracefully to the timekeeper - if anything ends up damaged, or one hair ends up out of place, she has the means to seek recompense for them… a fact she reminds the handler of her property. 

Sharper: “Well we’ll see if Jenni Anderson has to even get her heartrate up. She’s undefeated so far in SCW.”

Knots: “Through her brains, not brawn. Too bad Keenie’s not around. Jenni could buy her off and tell her to screw off!”

Jenni Anderson then walks over to Jason Phillips and takes the microphone from him before going over to her entrance gear, before it’s removed from the ring and pulling out a money clip and an envelope. She turns back.

Anderson: “Well, it’s that time again. And Stacy.”

Johnston steps up and corrects her.

Anderson: “Sean? Odd name. But so be it. All the more reason you’ll appreciate what I’m offering here.”

Anderson pauses as the crowd bgoos.

Anderson: “Now you’re from Portland…”

The crowd cheers. Anderson looks around. Sean Johnston nods.

Anderson: “You can set a good example for them. Because right here. I have one thousand dollars.”

Anderson holds up the moneyclip. The crowd boos. Johnston looks at it.

Anderson: “And it’s yours. You just have to lie down and take the fall.”

Johnston looks at it and then looks out at the crowd. Some in the crowd cheer, others boo, others yell no.

Anderson: “Now if that sounds tempting and it should. This is more than you’ve probably ever made in your life.”

Anderson smiles.

Anderson: “But there’s another catch…you have to sign this.”

Anderson hands the envelope to Johnston. She looks at it and then opens it up.

Anderson: “Open it up. Read it.”

The crowd buzzes.

Sharper: “What is this?”

Johnston obliges, opening up the envelope. She pulls out the paper.

Anderson: “Now that is a contract obliging you to avoid any other matches you could have tonight as a condition of accepting the money. I’m not having a repeat of last week’s ungrateful display! Now, there are no other opportunities tonight, but just in case there is one…I’m not taking any chances. Sign that and take the money and lie down. And you can enjoy your evening, significantly richer.”

The crowd boos as Anderson extends the pen and the money. Johnston looks at them and slowly takes them. She then looks at both as Anderson smiles.

Anderson: “I’ll give you a moment to think about it.”

Anderson turns her back as Johnston looks at the contract and the pen. She then looks at the money. She slowly pulls it out of the clip and starts to count it. She looks at it and then to Anderson who just smiles, posing for the crowd. Johnston then turns and takes the money and turns and starts to throw some of the money into the crowd. The crowd cheers as she throws a few bills into the crowd and then pulls off a few more. Jenni Anderson turns and sees this and then turns to the official. She looks at Johnston who continues to throw the money into the crowd.

Lyman: “Johnston endearing herself to her hometown!”

Knots: “But Anderson isn’t happy.”

Then Jenni Anderson steps up and spins through, drilling Johnston in the back of the head with the Queenpin’s Kiss. Johnston falls to the ropes and then down to the mat. Jenni Anderson turns and looks at her before then looking down at her. She turns to the official.

Anderson: “You know what to do!”

The official checks on Johnston as the crowd boos. He then turns and says something to Phillips. Jenni Anderson just smiles.

Phillips: “Fans, the official for this match has let me know that Sean Johnston is unable to compete. Therefore, as a result of a forfeit…Jenni Anderson!”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Well that just great. She attacks her before the match is official-“

Knots: “She was in the ring. She took her eyes off Jenni Anderson! And she found out the Queenpin is as dangerous as she is generous!”

Sharper: “Yeah…generous! Give me a break!”

Jenni Anderson smiles as her music plays. The crowd boos. She then demands her arm raised as the official does so. Anderson poses a bit before turning and walking over to Johnston. She grabs the remaining money that is next to her before turning and placing it in her top. She then turns and exits to the apron. She steps forward and then down the steel steps. She smiles as she walks over to the rampway and starts to head up it.

Jessica Winters is talking to a producer backstage when suddenly Jarvis enters the scene.

Jarvis: “Jessica! I found you!”

Jessica: “I’m not that hard of a person to find Jarvis.”

Jarvis: “Well if you say so. Look I have something to say.”

Jessica looks at the producer as he nods. A couple moments pass before everything is set up to go live.

Jessica: “I am backstage now with Jarvis Valentine who has not had much luck as of yet beca…”

Jarvis: “I’m sorry Jessica to interrupt, however…”

Jarvis looks dead in the camera.

Jarvis: “I’m pissed! My first two matches here in SCW and I am without a win. Now, if it was because of the talent I was going up against then fine. But it wasn’t! I don’t know who the hell you think you are man, but to whomever is playing those videos, I’ll find out who you are.”

Jessica: “Why do you think they are doing this to you Jarvis? Seems like they have an interest in you.”

Jarvis: “You know Jessica, I don’t know. Maybe they have seen my work with the paper, and they just love me. Or who knows, maybe they just hate me and want to make my life a living hell here in SCW. Either way, I’m getting pretty fed up with all this sh…”

Jarvis pauses mid word. He doesn’t move long enough to make Jessica concern before getting a small grin.

Jessica: Are you ok Jarvis?”

Jarvis snaps out of it with the sound of her voice.

Jarvis: “Yes, yes everything is great. Look I have idea, I must go, sorry to cut this short but…”

Jarvis hugs Jessica quick before slapping his hands together, rubbing them and then taking off out of the picture.

Playtime: “You’re going to upset everyone. Because finally someone new is going to break through. And it’s going to be me. Last week…I took Syren to her limit. Amelia…she’s not going to be able to take me. I don’t care who is training her. And I will go through everyone.”

Cruze: “Good.”

Playtime: “You think that now…but when it’s Playtime…you better be ready.”

Polly turns and heads off.

Breakdown cuts backstage as Ace Marshall backstage in the locker room of LexyCorp. We pan out to show Lexy Chapel talking to Autumn Valentine.

Lexy: “Come on Autumn. We can’t trust him to figure something out. You have an ANSWER right here. Let me take care of it! I’ll find a fourth star. I’ve got a lot of potential clients. Don’t you remember how full this room was…wait…where is everyone?”

The camera pans to show no one there.

Autumn: “Bear and Penguin are off to save Nicole. We haven’t seen Katsumi in weeks. I think you stopped paying for Nate’s tickets, so that leaves you, me, and Ace.”

Ace looks up.

Autumn: “And you’re all moody tonight.”

Ace: “I’m totally fine girlbro!”

Autumn turns to Lexy.

Lexy: “He’s just angry. Matt Hodges sucks! Right! He SUCKS! S-U-C-K-S!”

Lexy turns to Ace and smiles.

Lexy: “I mean if Matt wasn’t around, I’d not only have you in a title match FOR SURE…but you could be our fourth person!”

Ace: “Yeah. That would fix everything.”

Lexy: “It would. Wait…did Matt say something? Offer you something new?”

Autumn: “Lexy…not now-“

Lexy: “No! Last week, Matt and him did some sort of spec-op and now he’s angsty. What happened? Can I help? I ne-“

Ace: “No Lexy. I’ll help this.”

Ace gets up and then leaves the room.

Lexy: “Hey! Wait!”

Ace storms down the hallway, the camera following. Ace Marshall heads down the hallway, his head turning as he looks down different rooms and then continues into one of the bigger areas.

Sharper: “Where is Ace Marshall going?”

Knots: “I don’t know, but Lexy set him off. I guess he’s sick of the questioning.”

Lyman: “So what’s he going to do about it?’

Ace Marshall continues to storm down the hallway. He then turns down one hallway, walking a few steps before stepping and turning back. He then turns and walks down another hallway before walking over and grabbing a bottle of water from a collection of them off a table. He twists off the top and continues to head down his way. He walks over to one room and then turns to another before continuing to head down the hallway before we see Matt Hodges walking out into it.

Ace: “Hey! Matt!”

Hodges turns and looks up.

Hodges: “Well Ace! I hear you’ve been already busy tonight. Looks like you’re taking things seriously-“

Ace: “Yeah, I am!”

Ace then steps up and thrusts his arm with the water bottle forward, throwing water into the face of Matt Hodges. Ace then runs over and kicks him in the knee. He then grabs him and turns and runs him over, face first into the wall. The crowd ohs as Matt Hodges falls to the concrete. He rolls over and Ace stomps him in the face over and over and over again. Hodges rolls over to crawl away and Ace grabs his right leg and lifts it up, and drives his knee into the ground. Hodges yells out in pain.

Sharper: “My God! Ace Marshall is attacking Matt Hodges!”

Lyman: “And he’s going for his knee!”

Hodges rolls over and Marshall grabs his leg and lifts it up and drives it down into the concrete again. Matt Hodges rolls over in pain.

Sharper: “Repeatedly going after the knee!”

Ace then turns and stomps him in the head. We hear yelling from females in the back as Ace Marshall turns and walks off camera as the camera remains on Matt Hodges. He rolls over, clutching at his knee.

Hodges: “The hell, man!”

We hear something moving before the camera pans back as we see Ace is pushing a wheelable storage crate and running it forward, getting some steam and nailing Hodges in the right knee. The crowd ohs. Hodges rolls to the wall and Ace then rears it back and runs it forward again at Matt Hodges, sandwiching his knee between the storage crate and against the wall. Hodges yells in pain and Ace pulls it back. He then steps back and looks at Matt Hodges as he clutches at his knee.

Sharper: “Ace may have damaged Matt’s knee.”

Lyman: “We’ve never see him this bloodythirsty.”

Ace backs up as we see officials finally arrive on the scene. Ace then turns back as Lexy Chapel looks stunned before Ace walks over to her.

Ace: “See…took care of it. Nothing more to worry about.”

Lexy: “You….you…”

Ace: “I fixed it.”

Ace smiles.

Ace: “So now you focus you precious little head on other more important things. Like helping Autumn. You know, your wife.”

Lexy: “Oh…yeah….YEAH!”

Lexy turns to Matt.

Lexy: “SEE! HE’S MINE!”

Ace turns and walks off as Lexy Chapel turns to Ace before glancing back and then following Ace.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as we see hear “The Old Me” play in the background. A still of Owen Lee & Alexis Quinne vs. Gavin Taylor & Glory Braddock follow.

Sharper: “What has gotten into Ace Marshall?”

Lyman: “Good God…”

Sharper: “While we try to check on Matt Hodges. Next, big tag team action. Four individuals part of the US Title Tournament which will take place at Holly-Wood of the South, they’ll meet in tag action, next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Owen Lee & Alexis Quinne vs. Gavin Taylor & Glory Braddock

The eyes all focus on the stage. The lights grow dim. Opening strum of Rage Against the Machine's Calm Like a Bomb plays. White house lights illuminate the ramp.

Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
FEEL THE FUNK BLAST

The song kicks it. The house lights turn blue, red, green, etc. Alexis Quinne walks out through the curtains. The crowd roars. She is dressed in a white and black sugar skull mask with black trim. She also had a silver and black Varsity Jacket with a few badges on the sleeves.

She looks out at the arena, turning left and right. She then starts her march down to the ring.

Phillips: The following match is schedule for one fall. Introducing first, from San Francisco, California...This. Is. Alexis Quinne!

Alexis stops mid-way and once again, take the moment to look out at the crowd.

Sharper: “Another video….sorry about that!”

Knots: “Right after Jarvis went on a rant about the One. Who is it?!”

The song reaches the bridge. The figure lowers their head, their hands reaching towards the mask. The crowd roars as she removes some strains of hair from her sight so it's clear to everyone. She then looks to both sides of the front row, a wry smirk sported on her face. She then tosses her mask to the crowd. Reaching ringside, the camera does the classic rotation that it used to do for her entrances. She gets to the steel steps and then turns back at the fans behind her. She throws up her fist in the air and the fans follow suit.

Satisfied, she takes a moment to gather herself before walking up the steps. Resting her head on the top turn post for a few moments, she then climbs up the top turnbuckle. Alexis yells to the crowd. The crowd responds with her. She stands there before jumping inside and then raising a fist in the air, looking at the sky. Shortly after, she takes off her jacket and tosses it to one of the staff members outside. Quinne then retreats to the corner and hoist herself up to sit on the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: Alexis Quinne is going to be one of the eight wrestlers in the one night US title tournament. Now she had actually defeated former champion Spencer Pryce before he was terminated a couple of weeks ago. That, presumably, would have put her first in line for a future title match.

Knots: And then your kid did what he did, Simon and here we are.

Lyman: I rather not talk about that. But yes Quinne continues to "charge up" as she has stated. Winning the US title would be the ultimate stamp that she's all the way back.

The opening rifts to ‘Here we Go’ by Chris Classic blasts through the PA, as mist fills the entranceway. The music stops, a huge explosion rocks the entranceway and Owen jumps, seemingly through the floor and landing on his feet, dropping to one knee and punching the floor

“I been more than ready
Preppin' heavy
For this day to come”

Owen gets to his feet, and looks left and right at the reaction he is getting, a look of focus and determination on his face as Daisy Lee walk out from the back, and stands behind him

“And so now nothing can stop me
I just grind and work
Yeah yeah, you know the motto
You know we goin' hard cause we might never see tomorrow”

He begins the walk down to the ring, slapping the hand of anyone who offers, before sliding in and under the bottom rope as Daisy walks around the ring, and walks up the steps, bending through the strands.

Phillips: And her partner, accompanied to the ring by Daisy Lee, from  Newquay, England, weighing in at one hundred, ninety five pounds, Oweeeeen Leeeee!

“I keep my eye on the fakes and got real from it
Mastered patience and free will from it
That's the real motivation some people kill for it
I keep reachin' for greatness because I'm built from it”

Owen points to the turnbuckle and then runs towards it, bouncing on the middle ropes and back flipping backwards, landing on both feet.

“Here we go
Give it a 100 never nothin' less
Here we go
We comin', you already know the rest
Here we go
We never settle 'cause we know it best
Who wanna test? Who?
Leave you outta breath”

Owen pulls on the top rope a couple of time, stretching out as his music fades. He then walks over to Alexis, who greets him with a fist pound before they start talking. Daisy is on the outside.

Sharper: These two fought each other at Retribution in a very exciting, back and forth match. Owen got the deuce in that one. They could possibly see each other in a rematch in this tournament.

Lyman: They would have to reach the finals in order to do so.

Knots: Owen has to worry about Josh Hudson first. After that attack a few weeks ago, that's going to be a good ole grudge match.

The lights around the arena begin to flicker as "Whoa Is Me" by Down With Webster starts to play over the arena.

Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man show

And the song continues...

The crowd boos as "All Star" Gavin Taylor steps out from behind the curtain onto the top of the ramp. As he stands in place, not posing like he normally does, the chorus of the song plays.

Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it whoa (whoa)
The more I need it whoa (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa

Phillips: Introducing their opponent, from Los Angles, California, weighing in at two hundred, twenty five pounds, he is the "All Star" Gavinnnnn Taylor!

Gavin begins to walk down the ramp, with his eyes focusing solely on the ring. He turns to the crowd, barely acknowledging them, as he gets to the ring. Pulling himself to the apron, he hangs out off the ring while holding onto the top rope.

The song continues...

I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over you self for my spot
I bet you I'm winning, I bet that you're not
I bet you don't see me, I bet you get caught

Gavin pulls himself through the ropes and steps onto the second ropes on the opposite side of the ring from the ramp. He tosses his jersey and glares at both Owen and Alexis. While Owen stretches, Alexis doesn't take her eyes off of him.

Lyman: Gavin Taylor coming down to the ring. You don't see his usual swagger.

Sharper: That was noticeable to me as well. With everything that's happened with him, Nicole and Ravyn, he looks refocused and right on cue. That focus can be the key to him getting through the tournament and becoming US Champion.

Knots: Well he has to beat Quinne, first. And as you can see, she has him in her sights!

The first chords of "When Legends Rise" begins to play over the PA system...

Announcer: From London, England, she is The British Bombshell GLORY BRADDOCK!

Glory Braddock steps out onto the stage, wearing her ring gear consisting of purple spandex pants, boots, and a purple top. She really does look like a million bucks and grins from ear to ear, gazing out at the crowd for a moment before Amelia Stone walks through the curtains and joins her. The crowd buzzes a bit before they both make their way down the entrance ramp.

Phillips: And his partner, from London, England, Gloryyyy Braddock!

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She looks at Ameila, who gives her a thumbs up. Glory poses momentarily on the apron, allowing people to take snapshots before stepping through the ropes and into the ring.  Once in the ring Glory heads to the center of the ring and poses once more. Then the music dies down slowly...

Knots: Glory brought some company with her!

Sharper: Amelia Stone out where with Glory Braddock. Like Glory, she is also in the tournament, scheduled to take on Polly Playtime. Winner of that matches faces the winner of Hudson and Cruze.

Lyman: Glory has Tsunami to deal with. Definitely not an easy match. If she's able to get through that, she'll see either her opponent Alexis Quinne or her partner tonight Gavin Taylor..

Sharper: Lots of possibilities. Stone and Glory can meet in the finals. Stone and Alexis could meet in the finals. Amelia has wins over both.

Knots: That's what makes tournament juicy!

Glory retreats to her corner with Gavin. Gavin motions for Glory to step to the apron, which takes her aback. Alexis and Owen talk for a moment. Alexis offers up her fist and places her other hand underneath. The crowd laughs as bit as Alexis and Owen play rock, paper, scissors. Both land on paper. They go again. Quinne lands on paper, Owen on rock. Alexis yells to the crowd as they cheer and Owen snickers before heading to the apron. The referee ask Quinne to jump off the turnbuckle, which she does. She steps forward as does Gavin and then the bell rings. The crowd roars as Gavin quickly charges in and knees Alexis in the gut!

Knots: Starting off hot!

Sharper: Gavin waited for the bell to ring to strike. You can see it in his face. He is locked in.

Quinne staggers to the ropes and Gavin unloads with a series of right hands. Quinne tries covering up, but then gets another knee to her midsection. The referee gets in between Gavin, who backs away, holding his hands up, before going right by and nailing a right hand to Quinne. He leans her up against the ropes and sends her across the ring. Quinne bounces off and Gavin swings at her. Quinne ducks and then re-directs and runs to the left side of Gavin, running the ropes. When she comes back, she blast Gavin with a Flying Forearm! The crowd cheers as Gavin quickly gets up and Quinne spins around and nails him with a Spinning Wheel Kick. Quinne quick into the cover;

1!

Gavin powers out. Quinne quickly grabs the head of Gavin and starts biting his forehead! The ref is there to warn her and then starts counting down;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Quinne lets go and then she sticks her tongue out to the crowd, yelling to them.

Knots: Quinne is fired up!

Lyman: Gavin tried getting the jump on her. Maybe he was a little too aggressive. Quinne has always been super savvy so you better make sure you make it count.

Sharper: Not to mention, she can get hot headed too. Definitely someone who has no problem bending the rules.

Gavin stirs on the mat and Quinne gives him a stomp to his back. Quinne guides Gavin up to his feet and then lands a forearm shot that staggers him a bit. She then whips him to the corner, away from both Glory and Owen's corner. Quinne charges in and lands a Forearm Smash that causes him to stumble forward. Quinne then runs to the ropes and receives a kick to the back by Glory! This causes Quinne to stop her momentum and quickly turn around. The crowd cheers as Quinne and Glory start talking trash to one another.

Lyman: I don't think Quinne liked that.

Sharper: Glory playing some mind games there. These two have never been in the ring with one another until tonight. Both are very prideful of their abilities so this is not surprising.

Knots: Look out! Gavin!

Just then, Gavin runs across the ring and clobbers Alexis from behind, sending her to the mat. The crowd boos a little as Glory smirks at ringside. Amelia and Daisy watch at ringside as Gavin then proceeds to stomp Quinne repeatedly in the mid-section until the referee pulls him off. Gavin throws his arms up in the air, to boos, but he doesn't acknowledge them like usual. He picks up Quinne and throws her into his corner before tagging in Glory. Gavin holds Alexis so Glory can size her up and land a kick to her midsection. Glory then lands another kick to the midsection before stretching out her leg and choking Alexis with it. The referee starts counting down as Glory smiles in his face;

1!

2!

3!

4!

Glory lets go and pats the referee on the back, mouthing "good job." Some of the crowd laughs as Glory pulls Alexis away from the corner and sends a knife edge chop her way. The crowd reacts and Alexis stumbles to the ropes. She whips Quinne across and then runs and nails her with a back elbow when she comes back from the ropes. Quick cover;

1!

2!

Quinne kicks out at an early two. Amelia watches on as Owen is heard encouraging Quinne. She stirs and Glory stands up and mouths off at her a bit. She picks her up and lands another chop to Alexis' chest. She then leans Alexis up against the ropes where Owen resides before sending her across. Quinne bounces back and Glory goes for a clothesline, but Alexis slides underneath her arm. Quickly, Glory whips around behind her and Quinne dropkicks her left knee. Glory winces as she's kneel and Quinne then rolls over and tags in Owen, to cheers. Owen climbs up the top turnbuckle and waits for Glory to stand up. When she does, Owen flies off and lands on her with a Crossbody! Owen covers;

1!

2!

Glory kicks out at two. As she rolls over, Gavin suddenly enters the ring and clobbers Owen, raining down right and left hands. Quinne then runs into the ring to help fend off Gavin.

Lyman: The action already starting to break down here!

Sharper: Fast and furious, as we expected.

Knots: We don't own that copyright, Sharp. So if we get sued, that's on you!

Gavin stands up and goes after Quinne, who backtracks to the ropes before pulling the top one down and Gavin goes over and out! The crowd cheers as Owen then picks up Glory. He turns to Alexis and they both dropkick her down and she rolls to the outside where Gavin is. The crowd roars as Owen then looks to Quinne, who points at him. They both look at both Gavin and Glory on the outside before exchanging a high five. Both Quinne and Owen run the ropes, with full speed. Quinne goes through the middle ropes and takes down Gavin while Owen jumps over the top rope and takes out Glory! The crowd roars as Owen jumps back to his feet, throwing his fist in the air while Alexis lays on top of Gavin, winching by giving the crowd a thumbs up.

Sharper: What a double team there by Owen Lee and Alexis Quinne! Using their combined speed and creativity there.

Lyman: Yeah that looked pretty good, didn't it?

Amelia looks on from a far and Alexis gives her a brief look on the ground. Owen nods to Alexis as he picks up Glory and sends her back inside. Owen slides in and covers;

1!

21

Quick two count as Glory rolls the shoulder. Owen doesn't waste time, standing up and picking up Glory. He lifts her up and then down with a Snap Suplex into another pin;

1!

2!

Glory kicks out, again at an early two count. Owen turns her head to see Daisy Lee on the outside, instructing him. Owen nods as Alexis walks around the ring and then back onto the apron. Owen picks up Glory and sends her to their corner, where he then tags her in. Quinne climbs up the top rope as Owen pulls Glory away from the corner, scoops her up and then slams her down with a Michonku Driver. Quinne then jumps off; landing a diving Foot Stomp; to cheers. Quinne covers;

1!

2!

Glory rolls the shoulder at two, to which Quinne grabs the shoulder and then slams it to the mat.

Sharper: More teamwork here by Lee and Quinne. They've never team before, but you would be fooled into thinking they have with how seamless they have looked.

Lyman: They wrestle similar styles. Quinne is far more unconventional then Owen, but they're both very creative and have a healthy respect for one another. So this is not surprising.

Knots; You said something there. Respect. That only gets you so far. Especially if these two see each other in the Finals!

Sharper: If you notice, when Glory kicked out, Quinne grabbed the arm and slammed it to the mat.

Lyman: Already thinking about the Dreadnought.

Glory stirs and Alexis extends her arms, talking to her.

Alexis: Best in the World huh?

Alexis then stomps on the arm, to which Glory yelps in pain and retreats to the ropes. Quinne then bends over and wraps the arm around the bottom rope before pulling it back. Glory yells and grabs at Alexis' hair as the ref counts;

1!

2!

Alexis: I'm not even doing anything.

The crowd laughs as she repeats this to the ref.

3!

4!

Alexis lets out, throws her hands up in the air and mouths, "See?" Alexis takes a step back before pulling Glory to her feet. She leans Glory to the ropes before sending her across. When Glory's back hits the ropes, Gavin tags himself in blindly. Quinne goes for a rolling wheel kick and connects. As she falls down, Gavin grabs her, picks her off her feet and sends her across the ring with a Belly to Belly Suplex! The crowd oohs.

Knots: Hot damn! Gavin just launched Alexis there.

Lyman: He saw an opportunity to tag himself in when Quinne didn't see it coming and, my god. What a throw.

Sharper: Big momentum swing there.

Gavin doesn't waste any time covering Quinne;

1!

2!

Quinne rolls the shoulder at two. Gavin quickly grabs Alexis and then lifts her up in the air. He holds her up there for another five seconds before sending her crashing onto the mat with a Vertical Suplex. Another pin fall;

1!

2!

Quinne kicks out. She rolls over, holding her back as Gavin turns his attention to her. He stands up and sends a few stomps to the back area. Alexis yelps in pain. Amelia, meanwhile, is on the outside tending to Glory, who gracefully waves her off before making her way back to the apron.  Gavin brings Alexis to her feet and then throws her into the corner, chest first. He sizes her up and lands a forearm to the small of Alexis' back. She winces before Gavin sends another one. He then pulls her away from the corner and then to the ropes. When she comes back, she lifts her up and then down with a Spinebuster! The crowd oohs as Gavin covers;

1!

2!

Alexis rolls the shoulder. The crowd cheers!

Sharper: Quinne kicks out there but Gavin is making a point to go after that back. And it's paying dividends.

Lyman: No showboating. No wasting time to pose. I haven't seen him this locked in for a while. A locked in Gavin Taylor is a dangerous pro wrestler.

Knots: Could be softening up Quinne for himself. Remember, they face each other in the first round. Might as well get yourself a bye if you can!

Quinne starts scrambling around the ring but Gavin cuts her off by placing another stomp to her back. Gavin then gets her to her feet and sends her to the corner. He sends a nasty knife edge chop to her chest. Then, Glory tags herself in! The crowd oohs as Gavin quickly objects and yells at her. Glory mouths to him "you did it to me." The referee motions for Gavin to leave the ring, as does Amelia on the outside. Glory enters the ring. Glory takes a moment to mouth off to Alexis before pulling her away from the corner. Alexis surprises her with a forearm and then another. Glorry staggers back. Quinne swings wildly, but Glory sidesteps, gets behind her and then lifts her over her head and to the mat with a German Suplex! She goes to get the pin;

1!

2!

Alexis kicks out again. Glory looks to the ref and nod before turning back to Alexis. Owen and Daisy are heard yelling for Alexis as Glory smirks a bit watching Alexis stir. Glory brings Alexis to her feet and lands a forearm strike to her. Alexis suddenly fires off a forearm of her own to cheers. Glory smirks and yells for her to do it again. Alexis responds with another hard forearm before Glory knees Alexis in the midsection. Glory grabs Alexis' head and legs and appears to go for a Fisherman's Suplex but as she goes up, Alexis uses her momentum to swing back down and then into a Jack in a Box Cradle!

Knots: Jack in a Box!

1!

2!

Glory barely gets out! The crowd gasps! Glory looks to the ref, making sure it was two before getting back to her feet.

Knots: That was soooo close!

Sharper: Quinne is so adapt to those cradles and roll ups. Almost got her there. 

Lyman: All it takes is three seconds.

Alexis was still on her knees as Glory approached her. Alexis then surprises her by thumbing her in the eye. Glory is briefly stunned and Alexis crawls over and tags in Owen! The crowd roars as Owen comes in and dropkicks Glory down. Glory stands up and Owens dropkicks her again. Owens yells to the crowd before picking up Glory. He whips her to the ropes but she reserves and sends him across. Owen runs back, slides underneath Glory, jumps back to his feet and takes her down with a Zig Zag! Owen covers;

1!

2!

Glory kicks out! Owen nods before picking up Glory. Glory shoves him away from him. Owen advances back to her and Glory rocks him with a Superkick! The croowd oohs as Owen drops to the canvas.

Knots: Down goes Owen!

Sharper: Owen was a house of fire, but all Glory needs is a small opportunity to get himself out of trouble.

Lyman: That superkick was perfect. Her technique and the way she's executes in there, she's one of the best for a reason.

Amelia yells for Glory to capitalize and Glory soon covers;

1!

2!

Alexis enters the ring and lunges at Glory to break up the count! Gavin Taylor soon steps into the ring, grabs Alexis by the head and then tosses her through the second rope to the outside. Gavin then motions for Glory to bring Owen to him. Gavin goes back to the apron where Glory whips Owen to their corner. Glory tags in Gavin. Gavin re-enters and whips Owen across the ring. Gavin measures himself before charging in. Owen uses the second rope to leapfrog over Gavin and then runs the ropes. Gavin whips back around and scoops Owen up before dropping him with a Tilt a Whirl Backbreaker! the crowd oohs as Gavin pins;

1!

2!

Owen rolls the shoulder. Daisy cheers Owen on from the outside. Gavin slaps the mat a bit. He then turns to Glory and motions for her to enter the ring. Glory does, to the ref's chagrin and the two have a brief conversation about what to do. Gavin then brings Owen to his feet before whipping him across the ring again. Gavin then grabs Glory and sends her across, who in turn nails a beautiful Spinning Wheel Kick that causes her to float over to the apron. Gavin then charges in and lands a clothesline to the chest of Owen. Owen stumbles before and holds Owen still. Glory climbs the top turnbuckle and perhaps is setting up for the Dragonarana, but then Alexis jumps on the apron and shoves her off, causing her to land head first to the guardrail!

Knots: Quinne! From out of nowhere!

Sharper: Owen was in for a world of hurt but then Alexis made the save.

Lyman: Great awareness by Alexis there. Once again using that savviness to her advantage.

Gavin shoves Owen out of the ring to run over and club Alexis, sending her down on the apron. He turns his attention back to Owen, who is then to greet him with the Rehabilitation! Gavin falls to the mat and Owen pins;

1!

2!

Gavin rolls the shoulder at two! Daisy holds her head while Owen simply nods and pumps himself up. The crowd roars as he then sees Gavin stirring. When he gets to a knee, he runs the ropes and goes for the Redemption. Gavin gets out of the way and shoves him to the corner. Unfortunately, it's the corner where Alexis is. Alexis taps Owen to get his attention, then he tags Alexis is. Gavin doesn't see this and when Owen turns back around and charges, Gavin decks him with the Dependable Roundhouse!

Sharper: Dependable Roundhouse right on the money!

Knots: But Owen made the tag! Quinne is legal!

Lyman: And here she comes!

Quinne, now on the second rope, jumps up, latches onto Gavin and spikes him with the Dizty Tour! Quinne covers;

1!

2!

Gavin kicks out at two! Alexis claps her hands together and gives the crowd a thumbs down to cheers. She stands up and then grabs Gavin's arm while he's still kneeling before falling backwards into the Imperial Cradle;

1!

2!

Gavin barely gets free! But then Alexis holds the arm, going for the Dreadnought Plata!

Lyman: Going for the Dreadnought!

Knots: Gavin is fighting for dear life and understandably so!

Alexis tries tucking her foot behind his head but Gavin continues squirming away. He then uses his momentum to rolls Quinne over in a pin;

1!

2!

Alexis escapes! Gavin briefly holds his arm as they both get to their feet. Gavin decks Alexis with a hard right hand, then takes her down with the Desperation Buzzer Beater! Gavin falls over Quinne;

1!

2!

Owen runs in and breaks up the count! Glory Braddock suddenly comes in and goes after Owen. Owen knees Glory in the midsection and tosses her to the outside before joining her. He holds onto Glory and prevents her from entering the ring as Gavin signals for the end. Gavin picks up Alexis and then puts her head in between his legs. He lifts her up and before he can lay her on his shoulder, Quinne sits on his shoulder backwards. Punching his head repeatedly, Gavin is woozy. Alexis looks at the crowd before leaning in and biting Gavin on the forehead again! The crowd roars as Gavin yells in pain. Alexis then looks behind her before using her momentum to bring him all the down on the top of his head with the Santa Maria!

Knots: Hot damn! Quinne just spiked Gavin there.

Sharper: That's the Far Far Away. Shades of her old friend Christy Matthews.

Lyman: She calls it the Santa Maria.

Knots: And now she's heading up top!

Owen keeps Glory away from entering the ring as Quinne rolls over to the apron and then slowly up the turnbuckle. Holding her back in pain, she steadies herself and then hits the Quinnestinal Dream! She goes and covers;

1!

2!

3!

"Calm Like a Bomb" hits the PA system as Alexis pumps her fist before falling to the mat, exhausted. The crowd roars!.

Phillips: Here's your winners of the match, Owen Lee and Alexis Quinne!

Alexis lays on the mat, catching her breath as Owen soon slides into the ring. He brings Alexis to a seated position and pulls her up to her feet. The referee raises their hands as Daisy Lee enters the ring.

Sharper: What a hell of a match! Could have gone either way but Quinne! Quinne using that unconventional style to get the win.

Lyman: Like you said, bends the rules. Rides the line. Hopefully for Gavin, this is not the result of their match coming up in the tournament.

Knots: I'm sure this gives him more ammo to prepare for!

Glory holds the back of her head on the outside and Amelia helps her walk up the steel steps. In the ring, Alexis and Owen exchange a fist pound before Daisy embraces Owen. Alexis climbs the ropes and offers her fist to them, sticking her tongue out. The two continue to celebrate.

Backstage, Josh Hudson is shown watching the monitor, glaring at it. Hudson steps back and turns and walks right into Tsunami. The crowd boos as Hudson stops and looks at the man’s chest before looking up. Tsunami grunts as Hudson scoffs.

Hudson: “Do you want to regret something tonight?”

Howe: “Mr. Hudson, please! He’s just a bit forward. He merely wanted to say hi.”

Howe walks over and stands next to Tsunami as Lester Damron steps forward too. Hudson watches all three and steps back.

Howe: “Don’t worry, we are not looking to start anything. He just wanted to meet you. And do you want me to let you in on a little secret?”

Hudson looks at Howe.

Howe: “Tsunami doesn’t like Owen either. So he’s cheering for you. See, Mr. Hudson. You still have fans. Fans that understand what you’re doing. Don’t let the tournament distract you from your original goal.”

Hudson turns to Howe and steps up. Tsunami does too.

Hudson: “If you think winning one more title in my illustrious career is going to distract me from the beating I plan to give Owen Lee to teach him some REAL humility…you don’t need to worry.”

Hudson then turns to Tsunami.

Hudson: “And Tsunami. Pleasure to meet you. You have good taste. And I hope I meet you in the finals.”

Tsunami nods. Hudson heads off as Howe smiles and Damron turns to Tsunami.

Damron: “Let’s find out if he’ll still say that when he gets in the ring with you.”

Tsunami continues to look off as the scene cuts to commercial.

Breakdown cuts backstage as Jessica Winters stands with Syren. The crowd cheers seeing her.

Winters: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Jessica Winters here and I’m with Syren. You’ve been watching tonight closely. You’re facing Ace Marshall at Holly-Wood of the South. But earlier, he brutally attacked Matt Hodges. Seemingly did so to pacify Lexy Chapel, but hard not to read into this.”

Syren: “As a message to me? Probably a benefit instead of a purpose, but if it was, I don’t care. I already saw a man that needed weapons to get it done. Taking the easy way. And now, because he doesn’t want to deal with something, he just again, takes the easy way. The cowardly way instead of just telling Matt Hodges to eff off like he should have.”

Syren shakes her head.

Syren: “If anyone thinks I’m intimidated going against Ace…that this outburst changes anything. It doesn’t. All it reminds me is that while he’s trying to get his life in order as he tries to get what he wants, hoping magic solutions happen…I’ll be focusing on getting into that ring and solving my problems…namely getting back to challenging for the SCW World Title.”

The crowd roars as Syren heads off.

The scene opens up with a shot of Hairless Penguin and Dancing Bear already in the middle of the ring. Hairless Penguin looks around. Two microphones on stands are in front of them. Speakers are set up in the ring.

Sharper: “Here we go. Penguin and Bear, the Happy Farmstead Friends. Our World Tag Team Champions have asked for this time.”

Knots: “What are they going to do…Don’t tell me we’re getting another song!”

Sharper: “We don’t know. They have this plan to get to Nicole.”

Lyman: “Good luck there. Whomever is driving for Nicole clearly now is trusting, for the moment, Ravyn Taylor.”

Penguin looks around and turns back to the microphones as Bear looks around. He turns, throwing his arms up, before Penguin calms him down.

Penguin: “Well looks like Lexy has an IMPORTANT business meeting. Doesn’t she, boys and girls.”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction.

Bear: “What the –“

Penguin cuts off Bear.

Penguin: “Don’t you worry. Just as she has important things, so do we, as your WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!”

Penguin throws his arms up as the crowd cheers. Dancing Bear does a little jig in celebration.

Penguin: “And at Holly-Wood of the South, we are going to take on one of the most evil people in the farmstead. That’s right children. We’re going to take down a great tag team wrestler….a former champion…we’re going to EXPOSE Ravyn Taylor!”

Bear: “Yeah we are! Hyuck!”

Bear nods as the crowd roars.

Penguin: “Not like that! See Ravyn….she’s a mean person. And we’re going to sing a little song to explain how.”

Penguin turns and walks over and grabs his guitar in the ring. He places the strap over his shoulder and quickly tunes it before walking back.

Penguin: “So…if you know the words-“

Bear: “They’re not going to know the words. We wrote it last night over some gin!”

Penguin: “Well if you figure out the words…sing along.”

Penguin starts to strum before suddenly the lights go out leaving the arena in complete darkness. The screen fills with images of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural address.

“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is—”

There’s a record scratch before a deep voice fills the arena.

“INFAMOUS!”

The opening of “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes hits the PA system.

“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”

The song gets stuck on the word and is then interrupted by the deep sound of the voice of Marilyn Manson.

“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”

“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system. The crowd boos as Penguin gulps and turns as Bear turns and then just dances. A few moments pass before Ravyn Taylor walks out from the back, holding a microphone. She then glances behind her as Nicole Kinneck walks out from the back, glaring at the ring. She steps forward and Ravyn turns, stopping her. Nicole and Ravyn talk a bit before Ravyn turns to the ring.

Sharper: “And Nicole Kinnkec walking out with Ravyn Taylor. Unbelievable.”

Knots: “She’s manipulated her the entire time and she’s clearly cutting off what information she gets.”

Sharper: “She even doctored footage. This is abuse! This is ridiculous!”

Nicole Kinneck glares at the ring. Ravyn looks down.

Ravyn: “Please. Do not stop because of my arrival. I merely figured if you were going to slander my name, I would be present to ensure the message is received.”

Bear turns to Penguin and shrugs. Penguin looks at Ravyn and then the guitar.

Ravyn: “Don’t tell me you now have stagefright. It’s not every day you can write a slanderous tune and then deliver it directly to the target. That is your point. To paint me as some sort of monster…when I’ve lost family members, had to see my family continue to be torn asunder and only have a handful of people in this world I can trust.”

Penguin: “No! We’re not going to let you go that way. People in the truck. Time for the real plan. Nicole! You’re here! You’re there! Listen to me! Listen to the song! LISTEN!”

Penguin looks around as there’s nothing but silence. Nicole just looks at the ring with an impressive glare.

Penguin: “Come on!”

Penguin looks around before finally we hear the sounds of strumming play over the sound system. Penguin starts to play along with it.

Penguin: “Heya, Farmstead Friends!”

We hear the sounds of children yaying mildly and clapping.

Penguin: “Tell me somethin’, do you guys know THE ALPHABET?”

Children’s cheering heard. Nicole sighs as Ravyn looks down, shaking her head.

Penguin: “Oh, you do! Excellent! Well, what you might not know is that not all letters were created equally. So, today, I’m gonna share with you the most special letters of them all, okay?”

At this point, Penguin starts to sing along with the song in the arena.

An L is for

How she's oh so ladylike

Dare I say Godlike?

And E is for

The extra care she brings

It moves a man to sing

And X is for,

How she's very xenial

Her sins are venial

And Y is for

She's the reason why we live, quite frankly

Just being honest

Ms. Chapel (La-la-la-la Lexy)

Ms. Chapel (La-la-la-la Lexy)

She’s our half-Canadian, half-Britanian, All-American girl

Penguin stops as he then points to Bear.

Penguin: “Farmstead Friends, please welcome my best friend, The Dancing Bear!”

The Dancing Bear steps up and goes to dance. Ravyn cuts him off and the song.

Ravyn: “Well this is a wonderful trip down memory lane. Playing a song for another woman three months after it was relevant. I assume there was some plan to get that song in the head of Nicole here and she would magically what? Turn on me? One of her trusted friends?”

Ravyn looks at the ring. Dancing Bear then turns to the microphone.

Bear: “Hell yeah, bitch!”

The crowd roars. Ravyn then turns to Nicole and starts to walk to the ring. Nicole follows.

Ravyn: “Well, that’s an interesting plan. Unfortunately poorly thought out as you’ve been openly planning this character assassination for the last week. Did you not think I would notice?”

Penguin: “Nicole, please…La la la lexy-“

Ravyn: “La la la let’s stop this. In fact, perhaps we need to watch something, instead of listen to something.”

Ravyn walks up the steel steps and into the ring. Nicole rolls in. Dancing Bear backs up and stands next to Hairless Penguin.

Ravyn: “I too asked the production crew to have something ready to play. So can they please humour me?”

Ravyn turns to the big screen.

RETRIBUTION 2022:

Nicole keeps hugging Bear, who tries to get in, but can’t.

1!

2!

Penguin just gets his shoulder up. Penguin rolls over as Gavin gets up. Just then, we see Bear just swat Nicole in the head. Nicole flies back and into the barricade. The crowd ohs. We then cut to see a shot of Bear swatting Nicole off the apron again before then cutting to show Bear hitting her in slow motion. Nicole falls off and hits the barricade. She rolls over.

We cut to the ring where Nicole Kinneck is just glaring it.

Ravyn: “Unfortunately, the truth is even worse than that.”

We see Penguin nudging Bear. Bear shrugs.

Penguin tags back in and Bear then stumbles over and grabs Penguin as Ducky starts to get up and Bear then just lifts Penguin with a sloppy overhead belly to belly suplex, but right into Ducky, who yells out wee from the impact before ow! Penguin remains on her and Bear dives on top of Penguin and Ducky!

1!

2!

3!

Ravyn just goes to dive in, but misses. She turns and yells out in frustration before calmly rolling to the floor, trying to regain her composure.

Phillips: “Here are your winners and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions, the Dancing Bear and Hairless Penguin, the Happy Farmstead Friends!”

Lexy jumps up and down.

Lexy: “They did it?! THEY DID IT! EAT IT RAVYN! YOU SUCK!”

Lexy jumps into the ring as Bear starts to get up. Penguin does too. Nicole kicks around as she looks around before she notices that Bear and Penguin are being handed the World Tag Team Championship. Her smiles and laughter turn to a frown as Bear holds up Nicole’s decorated title belt.

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as Ravyn turns to Bear and Penguin. Nicole continues to be locked on the big screen.

Ravyn: “Seems like the two of you did your own bit of damage to Nicole here. Caring about her here? This is just a trick. A trick because you don’t think Nicole Kinneck should be World Tag Team Champion. I mean Bear swatted her-“

Bear then turns and just swats Ravyn in the chest with his paw. Ravyn goes down. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Bear just nailed Ravyn!”

Nicole then turns and nails Bear with a hard punch right to the head. Bear’s head turns and he falls to the mat. Nicole then turns and looks at Penguin as Penguin slides his guitar off and goes to put it down. Nicole, however, takes this as an aggressive act and runs at Penguin and punches him in the ribs and then nails him with a hard right before taking his new guitar and lifting it up and slamming it over Penguin’s back. Penguin falls to the mat as the crowd boos.

Sharper: “The guitar to the back! Nicole snapping and protecting Ravyn Taylor!”

Knots: “Guess it didn’t work!”

Sharper: “No it did not.”

Nicole looks down at the Hairless Penguin as Ravyn Taylor gets up and comes over to her. She looks at Penguin and then Bear before Nicole looks at Ravyn and then says something to her. Nicole turns and drops down to the floor. Ravyn smirks as she rolls over and down to the ring, following Nicole.

Sharper: “Nicole defending Ravyn Taylor and in eleven days, Nicole Kinneck and Ravyn Taylor will challenge for the SCW World Tag Team Championship.”

Lyman: “Hairless Penguin thought they could get through to Nicole. But instead, the challengers may be as strong as ever. In tag team wrestling, you need trust. I think Nicole does now trust Ravyn.”

Sharper: “Unbelievable…”

Nicole and Ravyn slowly head to the back as Bear stirs in the ring and Penguin grimaces in pain as the scene cuts away.

Autumn and Asher Hayes are talking backstage as Christy Matthews is in the background d.

Autumn: “Do you have any answers? Don’t tell me I have to go to Lexy and try to figure something out.”

Asher: “Trust me. I don’t want that. And I’ve got-“

Christy: “Who? Who is it?”

Asher looks down. He then looks up.

Asher: “Look…I’m not going to just get anyone on this team. I picked you Christy because of your history with Autumn. I know you both can go.”

Autumn: “And it’s looking like right now, you’ve burned any other options. Josh, Owen…”

Christy: “I was debating asking Tommy before he got his title shot.”

Asher: “Look! We’ll have a fourth.”

Christy: “How? Who? Don’t make me have to try and see if Lucas is back because I know…he’s not ready to return. Not after what he went through.”

Asher: “You don’t have to. Just…trust me…”

Autumn: “Yeah…when I had to force you put me on the team….”

The camera cuts away.

Sharper: “A bit uncertainty on team Asher heading into Tactical Warfare at Holly-Wood of the South.”

Knots: “Get them to be in the confessionals. I’m sure that’s going to be spicy!”

Holly Adams vs. Konrad Raab

SLAY

IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BE ME-EH-EH-EH!!

LOOKIN' THIS GOOD DON'T COME FOR FREE-EH-EH-EH!!!

The intro from "W Face," by Kumi Koda quickly fades out as "XXPENSIVE," By Erika Jayne kicks in full force around the arena as the stage comes into focus. Holly Adams steps up onto the stage, spinning into place at the top of the ramp, behind her a gaggle of men in black shirts reading, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills crew," holding TV cameras come running out capturing everything. Holly poses with her hand on her hip and her other hand high in the air as she pageant waves to the booing crowd. The camera men start directing Holly who continues to pose at the top of the ramp.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a twenty minute time limit. First, on her way to the ring, from the City of Angels, she is Holly Adams!”

Holly starts her walk down to the ring, continuing her pageant wave, with a large smile on her face as the crowd continues to jeer, the camera men following closely behind her. She stops halfway down the ramp and puts both hands on her chest thanking a fan for their "adoration," for her. She smiles before continuing down the ramp. She walks to the other side of the ramp, pretending to put her hands out to high five and immediately pulls them away and goes back to pageant waving. Some men from the camera crew can be heard shouting to each other over the music that they'll edit that into a high five in post. 

As she comes around the corner, she hops up onto the ring apron. Holly starts to sing along with her theme song, looking directly into the camera closest to her. She gives a million-dollar smile before putting her hand on the camera and pushing it away and she gets into the ring. The Housewives' crew follow behind her from around the ring and start getting various shots of her from every angle. 

Holly then grabs the top rope, bends down, and then snaps back quickly, flipping her blonde hair over her head, smiling brightly for the cameras. As she takes her place in the ring, she starts her pageant wave once again as her music dies down, the Housewives Crew taking their place in Holly's corner ready to capture everything.

Sharper: “This will be a unique match – Holly Adams will face Konrad Raab. And she’s not happy about it.”

Lyman: “Not happy about it. But not like she won’t still try to win. She wants to make a statement. No matter how brutal someone may be at Holly-Wood of the South, she is going to ste up.”

“Violence Fetish” by Disturbed plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain, acting erratic with an angry look on his face, wearing red and black face paint on the right side of his face with a red and black suit hoodie over his head he wears with pieces of ice blood designed all over them. He also has a penguin, walrus and a polar bear stitching on the left-hand side of his chest on his gear, stating Stop Climate Change. He also wears black boots along with Red and Black Gloves on his hands before he crouches down on the floor, looking at the ring with evil intentions. The SCW Underground Championship is around his waist.

Phillips: “Her opponent, from Cologne, Germany, the SCW Underground Champion, he is The Ice Blood, Konrad Raab!”

After the announcement, Konrad slowly walks to the ring with a massive amount of boos before Konrad runs up the steps and goes underneath the ropes As he's in the ring, Konrad without showing any sign of acknowledgement from the fans sits in the corner of the ring with the crowd booing him, having a nasty look in his eyes, flicking his fists as if he's already ready to fight, waiting for the match to start as he takes his hoodie off from his head. He then takes off his title.

Sharper: “Konrad always ready to fight. But you wonder if he’s focusing on Kimberly Williams.”

Knots: “He’s not singing Ice Ice Kimmy. So maybe not!”

Raab throws the title down as Holly looks at Raab. The bell sounds. Raab steps up, his hands up. Holly looks at him and backs up.

Holly: “Hey! Hey! Easy!”

Raab stops and looks at her before telling her to fight. Holly points to him and Raab knees her in the ribs. Raab then nails her in the ribs with a hard right. The crowd roars. Raab then drags her out and pushes her into the ropes and fires her off. Holly bounces off and Raab goes for a back elbow. He connects and Holly hits the mat, pops up and rolls over, moving to the corner.

Holly: “Hey! Not the face!”

Raab walks over and goes to swing, but Holly rakes his eyes. The crowd boos and Holly kicks him in the knee and then nails him with a kick to the ribs before hitting an inverted drop toe hold. Raab falls to his back. Holly flips forward into a jackknife pin.

Raab bridges up. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “An odd match here. Raab bridging up. Showing his core strength and agility.”

Lyman: “While Holly is worried about her face!”

Raab and Holly get up and spin around and around before Raab hooks Holly’s arms. He then pulls her over and Holly backflips through and lands on her feet. She backs up and Raab goes for a big clothesline, but Holly ducks and rolls to the floor. She backs up. (1) Raab turns and looks at her as the crowd boos. Holly points to her face.(2)

Holly: “What the hell did I say? Are you deaf?! Don’t you understand English? You claim to speak it!”

Raab then storms over to the ropes. Holly backs away as Raab rolls to the floor.(3) Raab stalks Holly as Holly spins around the ringsteps and then rolls into the ring. Raab walks around and slides in and Holly runs over and stomps him in the back over and over and over again. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Intentional or not, Holly goads Raab into the ring and opens himself up.”

Lyman: “And she’s going to town.”

Holly keeps stomping away.

Holly steps back and walks around the ring. The crowd boos her. Raab rolls over and starts to get up as Holly turns and runs at him and hits a running dropkick. Raab falls back to the mat. Holly goes for the pin.

Raab kicks out. He rolls over as Holly looks at the official. She then grabs Raab and pulls him up, looking at him a bit disgusted before snapmaring him over. She runs into the ropes, bouncing off and dropkicking him in the back of the head again. She then goes for another pin.

1!

2!

Raab kicks out again. Holly looks at the official.

Sharper: “Holly almost trying to get this done fast.”

Knots: “Well Raab can’t be trusted. He naturally wants to bust people open!”

Lyman: “You’re not wrong.”

Knots: “And Holly’s not been tanning long enough for the skin to get nice a leathery!”

Holly gets up and stomps him in the back of the head and then again before Raab rolls to the ropes. Holly grabs him and pulls him up and then kicks him in the ribs. She runs into the ropes again and then Raab suddenly runs at her and clotheslines her down. The crowd ohs. Holly gets back up and Raab hooks her up and hits a release northern lights suplex. Holly hits and rolls over. She starts to get up and turns and runs at Raab who catches her, spinning around and hitting a bridging German suplex. The crowd roars.

Holly gets her shoulder up and rolls over. She moves to the ropes.

Sharper: “Oh my! How close!”

Lyman: “This place lost it. Raab nearly pinned Holly Adams there!”

Sharper: “Frozen pin gets a long two count!”

Holly grabs at the ropes. Raab runs over to her and cuffs her in the back of the head. Holly falls through the ropes to the apron. Raab then stomps her in the chest over and over before she drops to the floor with a thud. The crowd ohs. Raab then is forced back by the official. The crowd boos as Holly rolls over and looks around. Raab continues to back up as the official turns to Holly. (1) We then hear a roar from the crowd as we see Kimberly Williams, still dressed as she was before coming through the crowd. She’s without her Dalek, but she hops the guard rail and then heads over to the ring. She runs up to the apron and grabs the SCW Underground Championship. The crowd cheers as Raab turns and sees this and runs at her. He grabs her and just starts to violently club her in the back over and over and over again. He shoves her down and Kim hits the mat and rolls through. Holly slides in as Raab snaps at Kim. The official turns noticing this as he was up to five in his count. Holly then runs over and rolls up Raab, pulling on his tights.

The crowd roars and boos. The bell sounds. Holly rolls back and rolls out of the ring as we see Cid Turner jogging down, followed by Sammy Thomas Davies and Clamidiya. Giovanni Aries slowly saunters down as Cookie Dreams runs down to join Cid. Holly backs up and looks around.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, Holly Adams!”

Raab, meanwhile, in the ring, looks around and dives, grabbing his Underground Title as Kim just looks up, smirking and glaring sadistically at him.

Sharper: “Kimberly Williams distracting Konrad Raab. The desire to fight-“

Knots: “No! The desire to defend that title!”

Sharper: “And it won’t be on the line at Holly-Wood of the South. Cruze demanding Kim earn her shot. But tonight, it costs Raab as Holly takes advantage.”

Lyman: “You have to wonder if Holly has Kim on the take. Two matches against champions Kim has been involved in.”

Sharper: “I don’t know about that. The Brand out here in force!”

Knots: “Clearly around in case anything happened.”

Holly looks around before then smiling and posing. Cid Turner and Cookie then start to back away as Cid heads up the rampway. Holly turns and Giovanni Aries talks to her, praising her as Kim gets up and looks at Raab. The crowd roars, expecting more. Holly Adams and Giovanni talk while Sammy Thomas Davies stands nearby, clearly just wanting to belong. Cid and Cookie walk up the rampway before turning at the top of the ramp. Cid looks at Holly and then stops. Cookie turns to head back down and just then, the crowd erupts as we see Datura running out from the back and going at Cid, immediately going for a chopblock. Cid falls back, yelping as he does.

Sharper: “Datura! Datura from behind!”

Knots: “Right to the knee! Cid’s down!”

Datura turns and goes for the knee, grabbing at it and Cid yells and yelps as Cookie tries to get Holly to head to the back. Giovanni then notices what is happening and yells at Sammy. Sammy turns and runs up the rampway.

Datura: “You caused this, Cid!”

Datura backs up as Sammy runs up and Datura backs to the curtain. Cid clutches his knee as Cookie runs over and checks on him. Holly heads up slowly, hiding behind Giovanni as Datura disappears to the back.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we see Cid Turner limping into the locker room of the Brand. He stumbles forward, and falls into the makeup table inside before dropping down to a seat. Cookie runs over to check on him.

Cookie: “Oh Cid…I…I missed it. I left you…”

Cid: “Jesus. It’s like fire! She had to hit me with something-“

Just before Cid can finish that, Holly bursts in.

Holly: “I TOLD EVERYONE. I knew it. She is still coming for me. Starbucks fired her after I injured her. She couldn’t hobble and sling coffees and now she wants revenge!”

Giovanni steps in.

Giovanni: “Too much negative energy.”

Holly: “Yeah! Because I’m going to be killed by her. She looks like the killing type!”

Cookie: “Uhh….she attacked Cid-“

Holly turns and walks over to Cookie.

Holly: “I know there doll that you’re in the Positive State and you have your skills. But this is clearly a message. A message for me. That she’s a liar. Seriously. Is she a friend of Selena’s too? That would make sense. All of them, lie, lie, LIE!”

Sammy: “Well-“

Holly ignores him. Cid winces.

Holly: “This is just unacceptable. I’ve MOVED on. I’m a former screwed over World Champion!”

Cid: “She hit MY knee.”

Holly: “Again Cidnay. There’s a reason I do the thinking about here. It’s my brand. This is clear. Like Elon Musk threatening Twitter. Just more BRAZEN.”

Cid: “She had to hit me with something. Jesus!”

Holly: “Yeah! Probably a pen or something. FOR THE MESSAGE SHE SENT. And all of this…”

Holly then stops. She looks at Cid and then to GiGi. Giovanni “GiGi” Aries nods.

Giovanni: “Sammy…you must do an important mission. Find Datura…”

Sammy: “Sure…and-“

Giovanni: “Do what your heart tells you.”

Sammy: “Uh…okay…”

Sammy turns and runs out of the room.

The scene cuts to show Datura walking through the locker room area as we see Jessica Winters running up to her.

Winters: “Datura! You attacked Cid…can I-“

Datura stops and looks at her. Winters stops and backs up a bit.

Winters: “Why did you attack Cid? I thought there was some respect. Is this about Holly? She is claiming it? Already doing so-“

Datura: “The self-absorbed one cannot understand when something has nothing to do with her.”

The crowd roars.

Datura: “The answer is right in front of you…Cid Turner.”

Winters: “What changed then?”

Datura: “The moment he claimed to represent anything of what he claimed to be even a year ago. When he lied to my face about a friend. That’s when I lost any respect for him. To think he motivated me a year ago. Well now he’s motivating me for something else. And Asher Hayes…Christy Matthews….Autumn Valentine…”

Datura turns to the camera.

Datura: “You’ve got your fourth.”

The crowd erupts in cheers.

Sharper: “Oh my God!”

Datura starts to head off.

???: “Wait! Wait!”

Datura stops and turns as the camera turns to see Sammy Thomas Davies running down the hallway.

Davies: “Whatever you’re going to do. Don’t do it-“

Datura steps up and kicks Sammy in the ribs and then turns and throws him into the wall. The crowd roars as Sammy falls over and rolls over to his back. Datura turns and looks at him.

Datura: “And that had nothing to do with Holly too!”

Datura turns and walks past Jessica Winters as the crowd roars. The camera cuts to Sammy who is slowly stirring and starting to get up.

The scene then cuts to Shaun Cruze who is talking to Jarvis Valentine. Jarvis is in full pitch mode, complete with big gestures.

Jarvis: “You know its brilliant. Come on. It’s going to allow me to get the scoop on this thing. And we need to give him, her, it…whatever they are a target. Who better as a target than me?! They’ve already picked my matches twice.”

Cruze: “Look, Jarvis. I can look into what’s going on-“

Jarvis: “I already did that. Already stopped and talked to them. They don’t know. But they look scared and you know what…that means something is going on…And well, you don’t have too many better that can get to the bottom of things.”

Cruze: “But what you’re asking-“

Jarvis: “To be booked every week. To have that platform. Come on…you know its genius! GENIUS!”

Cruze sighs and nods.

Cruze: “Let me think about it.”

Jarvis: “That’s all I ask. But you know…it’s a great idea. It helps you. It helps SCW. And I get to the bottom of this One person.”

Cruze: “Again. I’ll think about.”

Jarvis: “Perfect.”

Jarvis turns and heads off as Cruze watches him leave.

Sharper: “What did he pitch?”

Lyman: “Helps SCW? Clearly he’s trying to figure out who is behind that video…but how?”

“The Old Me” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still of Tommy Valentine vs. Ace Marshall w/Lexy Chapel follows.

Sharper: “We’ll find out, maybe, if Cruze accepts soon enough. But next, our main event. Tommy Valentine faces Ace Marshall! Don’t miss it!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Tommy Valentine vs. Ace Marshall

The arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display four words.

HEART FILLED WITH HATE

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the words on screen until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Cut The Cord" by Shinedown, hits.

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas. A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"FREE-DOM LALALALA FREE-DOM FOLLOW ME!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverberates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start jeering, the heat almost palpable in the air.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall for TV time remaining and is your main event of the evening. First, on his way to the ring, from Santa Barbara, California, he is Tommy Valentine!”

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp as he looks out into the audience that are now booing loudly, chanting obscenities in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards with his palms upwards, he then stops and then shakes his head before smirking and shrugging. Fireworks then shoot out at the top of the ramp in a burst before Thomas starts walking down to the ring, Olaf slowly walking behind him. As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high five a few fans and moves his hand at the last second, instead running it through his hair and chuckling before moving on down the ramp, the smirk still on his face before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, simply nodding before looking at all the fans in the crowd with undisguised disgust. Thomas jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles, soaking in the disapproval of the fans before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. He then stands motionless in the corner.

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine learning tonight he will challenge for the World Championship at Holly-Wood of the South. Tonight, he faces Ace Marshall.”

Lyman: “They have already had a run-in earlier. Ace calling him out. Saying he’s going to beat him. Simple as that. And use that to get his title match. And then Ace…he attacked Matt Hodges backstage earlier. So a new attitude here.”

Sharper: “Syren watching that all too. Selena Frost as well.”

An emergency siren begins to go off, as a black and grey WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT appears on the screen.

Glass on either side of the stage shatters as "Dead to me" by THESE WOLVES begins to play throughout the arena. Blue and green strobe lights begin spinning over the arena. The crowd boos however as Ace Marshall steps out on stage with Lexy Chapel following behind him. He peers back at Lexy before looking forward and raising both arms up to either side of the stage, his legs lined straight together. Making a gun sign with two fingers he points it to the side of the top of the ramp and begins making motions as if pulling the trigger. Pyro goes off three times with each pull of the imaginary trigger. Blowing at the tips of his fingers he puts his hand down as if going into a holster. They begin to make their way down the ramp. Near the bottom Lexy claps cheerfully and waves at fans. Behind her Ace gives an old man a middle finger while motioning that his daughter can suck it with the other hand.

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, coming in from Las Vegas, Nevada, accompanied by Lexy Chapel, Lexy Chapel Presents, ACE MAAARSHALL!"

Ace jumps up to the apron before practically falling onto the bottom rope. He waits as Lexy climbs the stairs before pulling down on the second rope, making it very easy for her to get in. Shifting over he enters the ring before standing. Lexy continues waving, trying to get some cheers and manages to get a few, as a 'we love Lexy' chant breaks out in sections. Ace leans into the turnbuckle appearing incredibly bored, setting his forehead into the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Ace Marshall out with Lexy Chapel. So firmly with LexyCorp again.”

Lyman: “Yeah and Lexy was almost stunned earlier.”
