“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 Syren celebrating with the World Championship start before we see a shot of the Beauty Factory standing tall in the ring. Following this is Aaron Blackbourne hitting the Unchained Creativity on an opponent. Katie Steward hitting the Off with her Head on Giovanni Aries at Retribution 2018 follows.

I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into fight or flight
 
Owen Cruze hitting the Cruze Stomp on an opponent follows before we see Selena Frost hitting the Glass Shard on Bree Lancaster. Bree Lancaster hitting the Classifier on Aaron Blackbourne follows before we see Scarlet Grey walking to the ring.
 
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
 
Kennedy Street hitting Dante McCaffery with the Touch of Class follows before we see James Evans and Angelica Jones holding the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Marie Jones standing on the ropes follows before we see Kandis swiveling her hips as part of her entrance. Derek Adonis holding up a copy of the KABLAMA Sutra follows.
 
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 Kennedy Street and Owen Cruze follows before we see a shot of Cassidy Carter dancing on her way to the ring, and then a shot of Regan Street and Datura swinging chairs at one another. 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 Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The cameras pan across the crowd for a few moments.

 

Sharper: “We are live in Rhode Island, as the fallout from Cold Blooded is here and we have a new World Champion!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer before we cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots standing at ringside, microphones in their hands.

 

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. Adam Sharper with Jonathan Knots. That’s right. A new World Champion. Bree Lancaster managed to walk out holding two titles. All thanks to Syren!”

 

Knots: “Syren attacking James Evans, going for the knee, just too much as Bree and Syren together could beat him. Syren wanted revenge over everything else. But that’s not all. Jordan Majors clearly sided against Sienna Swann. We also have a new Adrenaline Champion. Cold Blooded was a big night.”

 

Sharper: “But you know what happening tonight.”

 

Knots: “I’ve already got my ear plugs!”

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster is certainly going to have some fun tonight.”

 

The lights dim as a voice backed by piano music fill the arena.

{That's the price you pay.... Leave behind your heartache, cast away
Just another product of today.... Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you're standing on the edge, face up... 'cause you're a NATURAL}

 

Phillips: “Please welcome at this time, the new SCW World Champion and the SCW United States Champion, Bree Lancaster!”

 

The crowd boos loudly as “Natural” by Imagine Dragons plays throughout the arena. A few moments pass before Bree Lancaster walks out from the back, led out by Scott Burnside. The boos continue before the melody of Natural turns to a more jazzy beat as we see red, white and blue pyro shoot out from both sides of the stage and sparks shoot off above the ring. We then see a New Orleans band leader walk out, dancing in celebration as if a funeral with music broke out. The band walks around Bree as Bree just smiles, holding both of her titles over her shoulders. The crowd boos watching the upbeat jazz version of “Natural” leading Bree to the ring. The band gets to the ringside area and dances around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Bree Lancaster bringing some of New Orleans to Rhode Island.”

 

Knots: “Can’t hear you!”

 

The camera cuts to Knots who is holding up his headset, making clear the ear plugs.

 

Sharper: “This is almost like the second part of a New Orleans funeral with music. The joyous part.”

 

Knots: “What?!”

 

Bree Lancaster calmly walks to the ring as the band encircles the ring. Bree Lancaster walks over to the steps as Scott runs up them. He holds open the ropes as Bree steps up and walks along the apron and steps in. She then walks around the ring, intentionally exaggerating her steps as she preens around the ring, clearly rubbing it in. She then stops at the middle of the ring as pyro shoots out from the ringposts and sparks shoot off from above as a giant banner unfurls, showing Bree Lancaster proudly holding both the SCW World and US championships. The crowd boos more as we cut to a shot from the floor, showing clearly the banner blocking out the view from the crowd.

 

Knots: “She’s just cutting them out!”

 

Sharper: “Good lord…the ego on display.”

 

Knots: “All Bree in this one.”

 

Bree continues to pose as the crowd boos louder and louder. The band finally comes to the end of their song as Bree just smiles and extends her arms. Scott points to her and applauds. The boos become the only sound in the building. Bree then looks around as Scott hands her a microphone, having got it from Phillips. Bree takes it and looks at the crowd.

 

Bree: “I decided I need to jazz things up here in Rhode Island because lord knows you wouldn’t show the respect to your NEW World Champion…and your CURRENT US Champion and one of the most dominant women in this sport!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Bree: “I hope you enjoy what I’ve done with the place. So you can look at me instead whatever this state pass off as its public. The fact is that you’re not here to see them. You’re here to see a champion who can represent this company and this sport. And well, James won’t be doing that anytime soon.”

 

Bree smirks as the crowd boos.

 

Bree: “For those cultured enough, I’ll give you a little scoop. That was a funeral march. Now…the second part of it. We’ve been hearing the dirge part of it for months as James Evans held this title, but it’s now time to be happy, to move on, the mourning period is over and James Evans won’t ever hold this title again! A little birdie told me that he won’t be doing much of anything for the next while. The fight is gone and all thanks to me!”

 

Knots: “And Syren!”

 

Sharper: “I thought you couldn’t hear.”

 

Knots: “I can smell the BS.”

 

Bree looks around.

 

Bree: “And finally, you don’t have someone who had to get hand out after hand out holding this title. Someone who actually is a proud champion and someone who isn’t an embarrassment because they have violent tendencies. Now, you just have someone all of the women here can look up to. Someone who is Ambitchious! Someone who will take what they deserve and will hold it…and I did it all in my hometown!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Bree: “And well, you all better get used to it because the party is just starting and for once, you have something to be happy about. Hit it!”

 

Bree turns as the jazz band starts to now play “When the Saints Go Marching In” as Bree smiles Scott dances a bit as the band starts to make their way around the ring. Bree smiles as she holds onto both titles.

 

Sharper: “No discussion of any potential challengers. You wonder if Sienna Swann will be right there. But then again, let’s make something clear – she will be expected to defend both titles and will potentially as early as next week at Fatal Fortunes!”

 

Knots: “Already a difference. James Evans wanted any fight. Bree Lancaster…it’s all about her. It’s about the Beauty Factory. And well, look at that banner.”

 

Sharper: “Fans can’t see behind it. But as she said, that’s a good thing for her. Good to know fan service is high on her list as champion.”

 

We cut to a shot from behind to show the banner blocking the view.

 

Knots: “The least she could’ve done is put her face on the other side so people could have target practice with their tomatoes!”

 

Sharper: “You think they brought tomatoes, Jon?”

 

Knots: “They knew Bree was champion. That’s the first thing I do. Buy into tomato stock! The market has to be through the roof!”

 

Bree Lancaster starts to walk to the back. Scott grabs the cameraman and forces it to cover her as Bree smirks.

 

Scott: “Gotta get a good shot of the champion! The double champion!”

 

Bree: “And someone people can look up to!”

 

Bree continues to head to the back, the camera following her with the jazz music resonating as we cut away.

 

“The Old Me” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Sienna Swann, Chris Cannon and Glory Braddock vs. Selena Frost, Ace Marshall and Asher Hayes.

 

Sharper: “While Bree Lancaster enjoys this moment, her allies are going to have a busy night, looking to get a bit more of a positive night than Cold Blooded. Braddock, Cannon and Swann face Frost, Marshall and Hayes.”

 

Knots: “Swann was the only one who won at Cold Blooded, but the night ended with her getting driven to the mat by Jordan Majors. Something Bree conveniently didn’t mention.”

 

Sharper: “Something on her mind. That will be our main event, but that’s not all…”

 

The Breakdown logo comes up again and we see a still for Kandis vs. Regan Street for the SCW Television Championship.

 

Sharper: “…Regan Street beat Tommy Valentine for the Television Championship two weeks ago. Now she faces Tommy’s partner for that title tonight.”

 

Knots: “What condition is Regan in after that war with Xander Valentine? But also, Kandis could look to become a double champion herself, following in Tommy’s footsteps!”

 

Sharper: “A big night here in Rhode Island. We’ll be back after this!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Breakdown returns as we open up to the ringside area to see Sasha out with Dean Black and the production crew. We notice that the Bree Lancaster banner remains hanging from the ceiling. The crowd is buzzing as we see production crew members, climbing ladders under it.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown.”

 

Knots: “And Bree Lancaster has derailed this entire show.”

 

Sharper: “That banner still down and we see Sasha out here now. And that banner is preventing fans from viewing the action.”

 

Knots: “Bree’s showing them her ass already!”

 

Sharper: “Stop it.”

 

Knots: “What?!”

 

Sharper: “We’re trying to get this down. We’re not sure why they can’t essentially draw the banner back up.”

 

We cut backstage to see Bree Lancaster walking over to a limousine parked in the back of the arena. Scott Burnside is with her. Sienna Swann leans on the back door of the limousine as Xiomara Diaz steps out.

 

Bree: “That was a hell of a start.”

 

Sienna: “Hope the money was put to good use.”

 

Bree: “Of course.”

 

Xiomara: “Won’t be pulling that up anytime soon. Made sure a few people had some good money coming to them.”

 

Bree: “For the best. We’re the only ones these fans should pay to see anyway.”

 

Sienna: “Exactly. And we’re going to make them wait…for everything but one thing…”

 

Bree: “We do need to deal with that.”

 

Sienna: “I have my plan.”

 

Sienna steps back inside. Bree turns to Xiomara. Xiomara nods as we cut to see Bree Lancaster turning to Scott.

 

Bree: “I’ll be back.”

 

Xiomara: “Be careful.”

 

The camera turns to show Chris Cannon sitting in the limousine seemingly just looking out the other window as a hand, presumably Glory’s, hands a bottle of water to Sienna. Xiomara steps back inside as Bree heads back into the arena.

We cut back to the ringside area as the production crew has managed to tie two ropes to the bottom of the banner.

 

Sharper: “That explains a few things. They’ve jammed the system. Paid someone off.”

 

Knots: “Gotta make everything about them.”

 

Sharper: “Well this situation has stalled this show. We have some great action tonight folks and we’d love to get it in the ring and showcase it.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, really.”

 

Sharper: “Erik Holland will be in action later tonight. We know the Wonderland will face off against Las Bandidas.”

 

Knots: “Infamous is here.”

 

Sharper: “That’s going to be interesting. Syren has to have heard Bree’s comments. And well with Fatal Fortunes next week, you wonder if some people are going to be open about their hopes.”

 

The crowd then roars as we see Ace Marshall, Asher Hayes and Cassidy Carter walking out from the back. Asher Hayes points to the sign as Ace Marshall looks at it and feigns throwing up. We then cut to a shot of Blake Mason looking on from his luxury box. He then turns and says something to Jaxson before we cut back to see Ace and Asher walking over to Sasha and Dean as Cassidy Carter skips forward, seemingly going to bother one of the crew members.

 

Ace: “So what is this? Did you piss off the event staff again?”

 

Sasha: “Bree. And she paid off some crew members to keep it down.”

 

Asher: “This has to be a crime against humanity.”

 

Ace: “At least it’s on tape it was her.”

 

Sasha: “Trying to get this down.”

 

Asher: “Sounds like a job for us.”

 

Dean: “How do you figure?”

 

Ace: “It’s that or Cassidy starts to taunt fans one by one.”

 

Asher: “Just relax. I used to do drugs. I know how to get out of a jam.”

 

Sasha: “Wait, hold up-“

 

Asher then steps forward as Ace follows and grabs Cassidy pulling her away from randomly flirting with a crew member. We then hear another roar as Selena Frost walks out from the back. She heads over as Asher comes over and talks to one of the crew members. Ace rolls into the ring and Selena does too. Ace turns to her. Selena says something as Sasha looks on and Dean Black starts to help too. Ace yells at Asher as Asher enters the ring as Ace rolls out of the ring. Ace then jogs to the back as Cassidy looks around. She jogs out with him.

 

Sharper: “We have a few people here trying to figure things out.”

 

Knots: “Well it’s not like you can just cut it down. There are fans there!”

 

Sharper: “They’ve got some ropes. I don’t know. Perhaps to guide it.”

 

Knots: “Ace and Cassidy ran to the back.”

 

Sharper: “Clearly we’re still figure things out. The fans buzzing. I think a lot are trying to figure out what they’re doing.”

 

There’s a pause as Selena and Asher hold the ropes and start to pull on them together. They nod as Dean Black looks up and nods before walking over to Sasha.

 

Sharper: “Looks like something they’re planning is working out.”

 

Knots: “They’re clearly trying to pull it so it’s more over the ring. But with what purpose.”

 

We then cut to see Cassidy Carter with a crew member, starting to drive one of the driveable lifts on the floor and starting to drive it over to the side of the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy has a lift!”

 

Knots: “Can it get high enough?”

 

Sharper: “Well as this keeps unfolding, we’ll be back, after this!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We see a shot of several match types flashing on the screen before cutting to a shot of Tommy Valentine falling off a ladder, before showing David Helms hitting the Nightmare on Helms Street, driving a chair into someone’s face, before cutting to show Selena Frost moonsaulting off the Chamber.

 

“One night…everything is decided by the spin of a wheel…”

 

Shots of several match types flash across the screen before we cut to show a shot of the SCW World Championship, then the US Championship before showing Regan Street holding the SCW Television Championship, followed by shots of the Adrenaline and World Tag Team Championship belts.

 

“Every title will be on the line…”

 

We see Bree Lancaster and Sienna Swann looking at one another before cutting to show James Evans and Xander Valentine standing across from one another and then showing Alistaire Allocco and Owen Cruze standing across from Dark Fantasy.

 

“Potential Dream Matches or clashes no one ever thought they’d see…”

 

We then see a shot of more match types flashing across the screen before the Fatal Fortunes logo comes up on the screen.

 

“Fatal Fortunes, comes to you live on Breakdown, May 6 and 13, 2020!”

 

The scene fades to black.

Breakdown returns to a live shot as we cut to the limousine backstage with the Beauty Factory inside of it before cutting back to the ring to see Ace Marshall walking down to the ring with a piece of scaffolding and he’s taped something to the end of it.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. Ace Marshall has a lengthy piece of scaffolding-“

 

Knots: “Is that a blade?!”

 

Sharper: “Looks like it!”

 

Ace then hands the makeshift tool to Cassidy. Cassidy holds it as Ace climbs onto the lift which is positioned at ringside under the banner. Ace then takes it and the crew member starts to rise the lift as the crowd roars. A faint “Ace!” chant begins as Dean turns to Asher and Selena to pull. Asher and Selena start to pull on the banner as Ace holds the tool up and tries to puncture the banner. He does, getting it inside of it after a couple of tries.

 

Knots: “Well he’s stabbing the banner!”

 

Sharper: “This may work!”

 

Ace then starts to use the tool to start to tear at the banner, pulling it across. He then turns and pulls it across the opposite end. Then he turns back. Dean nods and yells at Asher Hayes and Selena to get ready to pull and Ace turns and tries to cut through the one side before missing and then nearly dropping the tool. We see security trying to move fans back to the safe before Ace moves it again and cuts the one side. The crowd roars and Asher pulls, causing it to fall back over the ring. Selena does too, causing the other side to sheer as Ace is moving the tool around. The crowd cheers loudly as the banner manages to safely fall into the ring, having been cut in half and drastically improving the visible. The crowd cheers some more. Asher then looks around as Selena drops her rope and applauds as Asher looks at the banner in the ring. The Ace chants grow a bit as Selena smirks. Ace then turns and holds the makeshift tool up, pumping his fists in celebration while on top of the lift.

 

Sharper: “They got it down! Ace Marshall tearing the banner!”

 

Knots: “Bree’s now just face down in the mat! Ha!”

 

Sharper: “And this crowd is on their feet cheering. Looks like they appreciate someone other than the champion!”

 

Asher then jumps on the banner, almost to punctuate the point. He looks out at the crowd too as Ace then turns and tells the crew member to bring the lift down. The lift slowly drops down as Sasha smiles and applauds. Selena rolls to the floor. Sasha thanks her as Selena heads to the back. Ace Marshall then leans the tool against the ring before pulling himself onto the apron. He enters the ring as “Adrenalize” starts to play. Asher Hayes looks around and Cassidy enters and goes to the banner. She starts to roll it up.

 

Sharper: “Thank God! Ace Marshall, Asher Hayes, Selena Frost, Cassidy Carter, our crew…all helping take this down.”

 

We cut to see what’s left of the banner hanging over the ring, showing only part of her head remaining.

 

Knots: “Too bad we have to have this shown with Bree’s ugly mug looking at us!”

 

Sharper: “Fortunately, we can get back to focusing on what matters – the action in the ring! Thank you to all who took it down! We’ll be back, finally, with some in-ring action!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer for Ace, Asher, Selena, Cassidy and the crew as Sasha heads to the back and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Jay Gold is seen walking backstage, talking on the phone with someone. He takes a few steps before suddenly, we see a figure, seemingly covered in fur, running up behind Jay Gold and nailing him in the back of the head with a clubbing blow.

 

Sharper: “Jay Gold! He’s been attacked!”

 

Knots: “Is the person wearing a bear suit?!”

 

Gold falls over and the figure, clearly wearing a bear suit, starts to stomp away on the back of Jay Gold’s head. Gold rolls over, covering up. After a few shots, the giant mascot monkey steps back and suddenly does a couple of air thrusts to the left and then a couple more to the right before letting out a laugh and then running away. Gold just turns, starting to get up, looking confused.

 

Gold: “Seriously?!”

 

Gold winces as we see a couple of nearby people come over to check on Gold.

 

Knots: “What in the hell? A Dancing Bear just attacked Jay Gold!”

 

Sharper: “Didn’t leave much of a bruise. More just a bruise to his pride!”

 

Knots: “Yeah, well…the only dancing bear I know of….never mind.”

Erik Holland vs. Gigi Steward

 

Sharper: Anyway, up next, we have a man who is new to SCW but certainly not the wars of the ring in Erik Holland.

Knots: Holland very impressive in his debut match against Sammy Thomas Davies two weeks ago, but I think he might find the competition is a little bit tougher against “The Princess of Wrestling” Gigi Steward.

"Will you tell these fools I'm not crazy! Make them listen to me before it's too late!"

The arena suddenly goes completely pitch black.

"Listen to me. PLEASE listen. If you don't, if you won't...if you fail to understand, then the same incredible terror that's menacing me will STRIKE AT YOU!"

WE MUST SURVIVE!!!!!!

"The Haunted" erupts over the sound system kicking up an air-raid siren style strobelight that pulses steadily but angrily on the stage. Lyal "Lyric" Allen comes bounding through the curtain first rocking her latest outrageous makeup and costume, waving to the crowd and bounding around like a super-ball. She heads to center stage as she sees her beloved charge Erik Holland advancing onto the stage. Holland turns around once, taking in the crowd. Lyric wraps her arms around him, whispering something in his ear and then points at the ring, unleashing Erik Holland to make his way to the squared circle.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! On his way to the ring, accompanied by Lyal ‘Lyric’ Allen, from Silent Hill, and weighing 281 pounds he is Erik Holland!”

He makes his way deliberately there, muttering to himself. Maybe he's talking to himself, talking to his fans, talking to his demons--we're not really sure, but he seems to be aware of the LOUD but mixed reaction that greets him, touching fists with his cheering fans--even going head to head with some, and ignoring the ones that are booing. Lyric is right behind him, slapping five with the fans, even getting a couple of hugs.

Sharper: At 6’6” and 281 pounds Erik Holland has certainly been a force to be reckoned with wherever he been wrestling, and we are expecting big things from him in SCW.

Knots: And his manager Lyric, we definitely would like to see more of her as well, right Sharper? Let’s make the lady feel welcomed!

Sharper: Oh absolutely Jon, say how is Kennedy doing these days? I saw on twitter recently where your wife was talking about the possibility of her making a comeback to SCW, very exciting.

Knots: And it would be exciting, but right now she is gone, promoting the new movie, which I am sure will be great as well.

Erik and Lyric stop as they get to ringside, Lyric pulling him down for a kiss and last instructions before sending him tearing into the ring under the bottom rope. He lunges at the referee or the ring announcer, ending up sticking his head and upper body through the top and middle ropes as red strobes blaze all over the place. He stares out at the rolling, moshing swarm of fans, a sick smile playing across his scary-looking face. Lyric struts over and kisses him one more time then allows him to mug for the camera, spitting threats at his opponent (and perhaps the cameraman too) riling up the crowd even more, before he goes to each turnbuckle, acknowledging them by smashing his hand into the top buckle on all four corners.

Finally as the chaos begins to subside, Holland falls against a turnbuckle pad with his butt on the mat, muttering still, with a thousand yard stare locked onto the entryway. The lights return to normal and the music fades, as “Supreme” plays throughout the arena as the stage and video screen goes dark.

Phillips: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Madison Steward, from Los Angeles, California “The Princess of Wrestling” Gigi Steward!

Gigi’s video plays on the screen and she steps out on to the stage with Maddy at her side wearing a black leather with tiny metal spikes on it and also a bandana covering her face. She walks up to the center of the stage and stretches her arms out embracing the fans support for her.

Sharper: Gigi coming to the ring for this singles contest, and Maddy coming out with her. Don’t you find that a little odd?

Knots: Why does that have to be odd? She wants to show her support for Gigi, I don’t feel there is anything wrong with that.

They begin to walk to the ring walking with a purpose. Gigi gets to ringside and rushes into the ring rolling inside while Maddy stays outside in her corner. She marches to the corner and hops on the middle ropes and throws out her own hand sign to the fans. She then rips off the bandana and tosses it into the crowd. Gigi hops off the ropes and takes off her jacket setting it aside for ring crew to pick up and she gets ready for her match, meeting Holland in the center of the ring and started to trash as he just smirks as the match begins.

DING! DING! DING!

Steward is still giving him the business, talking trash to Holland and getting no response until she reaches up and slaps the taste out of his mouth. The crowd oooohhhhs this and boos while Holland is starting to shake with rage.

Sharper: There are some things in life that can call into questions one sanity, and I would have to think that slapping the mouth of a man who is nearly a foot and a half taller than you and is almost three hundred pound would be near the top of that list.

Knots: Well Gigi has no fear against Erik and she wanted to make sure that he and everyone watching knows that, but yeah, she could have chosen another way to show that!

Irate now Holland explodes, looking to tear Steward apart as he lounges at her with hooks and jabs. He doesn’t connect though because the much quicker Steward ducks underneath Holland’s assaults and counters with kicks to the groin, before she reaches up and tries to rake the eyes. Holland is not having any of this however and blocks the rake of the eyes and before grabbing Steward by the arm and connect with a vile short arm lariat. The move illicits more ooohhhs from the crowd who are now cheering at the sight of Gigi getting turned inside out by the powerful lariat and lading awkwardly on her head. Holland doesn’t care however, ripping her up off of the canvas and connecting with a crushing T-Bone suplex. The crowd is cheering again wildly, before Holland is going for a cover and hooking the far leg, while Maddy looks on, concerned.

No! Kickout by Gigi Steward!

Sharper: Gigi kicked out at the count of two and we are still in the early going, but you have to wonder if she is rethinking her strategy with a slap to the face of Erik.

Knots: No, I don’t have to wonder about that at all. Gigi is rethinking that strategy and I am sure she would tell you that if she could, but she is unavailable at the moment.

Holland picks up Steward, quickly, keeping the pressure on her with a thunderous powerslam that sees Gigi land awkwardly once again. Holland tries to make a cover again, but Maddy is saying something to the referee about the way that Gigi landed on the powerslam and he doesn’t see that the cover has been made until it is to late. This makes Holland incensed once again, but Lyric calls him over to his corner to help calm him down. The referee takes this opportunity to make sure that Gigi can continue in the match. Meanwhile, Holland leaves his corner, calmed down somewhat by his discussion with Lyric and he says something to Maddy about keeping her mouth shut. The youngest Steward waits for Holland to turn around and then gets on the ring apron and clocks him in the head with her shoe. Holland is grabbing his head in pain but still goes to turn around and get ahold of Maddy, Lyric has already her off the apron and is chasing her around the ring. While this is going on, Gigi gets a schoolgirl roll up on Holland.

No! Kickout by Erik Holland!


Sharper: Erik Holland kicks out a count of two following a schoolgirl roll up by Gigi with and assist from Maddy trying to steal this one.

Knots: What do you mean an assist from Maddy? Maddy isn’t in the ring, she is being chased around by Lyric outside of it.

Sharper: Right, and Lyric is chasing her because she hit Erik in the back of her head with her shoe!

Knots: Erik said something to Maddy about keeping her mouth shut and Maddy wanted to make sure she understood what he was saying. At least that is all I saw.

Holland rolls away to a corner following the near fall, trying to knock out the cobwebs, still slightly feeling the effects of Maddy’s shoe in the back of his skull. Gigi taking control now, runs over and gives Holland a big splash in the corner. Holland falls out of the corner on the mat and Gigi seeing this as her opportunity to take this match, she goes to the top rope and flies off with a frog splash. The crowd starts to boo loudly as Gigi stays on top of Holland for the cover

The count is stopped when Scarlet Grey comes out of the crowd, slides into the ring, and attacks Gigi! Having no alternative, the referee calls for the bell immediately ending this match.

DING! DING! DING!

Sharper: And Scarlet Grey…she’s been following and harassing Holland! Now getting involved in his match!

Knots: I don’t know for sure. She stopped Gigi from possibly getting the pin but now she looks more interested in Erik Holland. She almost seems fixated by the big man whose manager Lyric is the only thing keeping him from going after her!

 

Holland looks at Grey as Grey has stopped her brief attack and turns to him, smirking seductively. Holland turns to Lyric who motions for him to leave and Holland rolls out of the ring, smacking the apron in anger.

Sharper: That is because she just potentially cost him the match!

Phillips: The winner of this match by disqualification, Gigi Steward!

Holland is glaring at Grey still, but Lyric manages to get him to pull him away to leave the ring and head to the back. Grey is still focused on Holland when Maddy runs up behind her and knocks her down. Gigi gets up and the two Stewards stomp away on Grey. Holland glances at the attack and smirks before continuing to the back. The bell sounds again as Grey covers up. Gigi and Maddy get a few more shots before stepping off and then Maddy raises Gigi’s arm. Gigi looks around as the crowd boos.

Bree Lancaster can be seen walking over to one of the locker rooms. She then steps inside and walks forward.

 

Bree: “Hey!”

 

Bree stops as no one really response.

 

Bree: “World Champion here. You probably should be interested in what I’m going to say or ask?!”

 

Peyton Rice then walks over to Bree.

 

Peyton: “Good…you’re going to continue the demand respect when you’ve barely earned it.”

 

Bree: “I’ve earned plenty with these.”

 

Peyton: “Great.”

 

Kelcey Wallace walks over and stands behind Peyton.

 

Bree: “Of course…Kelcey ensuring you’re going to be cold to me. If I were you, I’d consider finding another role model.”

 

Kelcey: “And you better come here for what you wanted and leave.”

 

Peyton: “What do you want?”

 

Bree: “Looking for Jordan.”

 

Peyton: “She’s not here. Hasn’t been since before the show.”

 

Bree: “Figures.”

 

Bree turns and heads off. The camera follows her as she heads down the hallway. She takes a few more steps before slowing down as a scowl forms on her face. The camera turns to reveal Jake Starr. The crowd cheers.

 

Jake: “Better change your look. You may stay that way.”

 

Bree: “I hope you’re happy.”

 

Jake: “I would’ve been happier if I had pinned Sienna myself. But that Jordan saw the light…I’m thrilled.”

 

Bree: “Yeah well you better feel sorry for ruining her career.”

 

Jake: “Bree…I don’t know if you get this…but the world does not revolve around you or Sienna. Jordan proved that. She pulled away from your orbit and she’s going to rise to the top.”

 

Bree: “Not with your dragging her down.”

 

Jake: “That’s the thing…I’m coming to see her now. Been texting her all week. She’s doing what SHE needs to do. If you were a friend, you’d get that. But you’re am-BITCH-ous…right.”

 

Bree: “And I’m champion. Something you’ll never call yourself again. Get the hell out of my way.”

 

Bree steps past Starr as Starr watches her leave before starting to head toward the same locker room Bree came from himself.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage we see Scarlet Grey pacing back and forth. She is almost muttering to herself before running her hand through her hair and then turning and storming off.

 

Sharper: “There you see Scarlet Grey and she’s not handling things well at all. She came out to involve herself against in Erik Holland’s affairs and in the process, got attacked by the Stewards.”

 

Knots: “She is not okay! Not at all!”

 

The camera follows Scarlet as she continues to walk down the hallway before we cut to the ring.

The Wonderland vs. Las Bandidas de Gata Negra

 

“We’re All Mad Here” by Marquis of Vaudeville begins to play as the arena goes dark except for a spotlight as Alice Ames walks out to the center of it. The camera shows a close up as Alice takes a psychedelic colored blow pop and seductively licks it as the arena lights change to wild psychedelic colors as Cain Adams appears next to her. Alice continues to lick on the blow while Cain stands next to her with a cigarette in his mouth. Cain and Alice look at each other and then toward the ring. They make their way down the ramp as Alice slides into the ring while Cain climbs up to the apron and through the ring ropes.

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a tag team match. First the team of Alice Ames and Cain Adams. The Wonderland!”

Sharper: “Both Alice and Cain going at it alone it would seem this week. Giovanni Aries still missing after the match at Cold Blooded.”

Knots: “This feels a little less like The Wonderland without him here.”

The lights dim a bit as Nada Como Tú begins to play, a bit of fog slowly beginning to form on the stage as golden orange lights pulse in rhythm with the guitars. Slowly, we see a figure crawling through it, almost like a cat trying to remain hidden before it pounces on its prey. When the main beat of the song kicks in, the figure picks up the pace until she reaches the end of the stage, crouching as she's far enough away from the fog to reveal herself to be Maria Vencejo. Not too far behind her is Valeria Garcia, her eyes slowly roaming over the fans with a cold, emotionless look. She looks down at Maria and a smile actually forms on her lips as she reaches down and helps her partner to a stand as the lyrics begin.

Phillips: “And their opponents. The team of Valeria Garcia and Maria Vencejo. Las Bandidas de Gata Negra!”

The two of them begin making their way down to the ring, Maria staying ahead of Valeria and moving quicker as though she were energized by the song while Valeria maintains her slow, calculating approach. Maria slides into the ring before rolling into a kip-up, and Valeria slides in right behind her, pausing as she and Maria smile at one another before Maria helps her partner to her feet before twisting her around so the two are both facing the same way, Valeria in front of Maria. The two slowly back into their corner like this before separating to discuss strategy.

Sharper: “So it looks we’ll just have the straight tag match here. No Giovanni, so Cain and Alice will have to go at this on their own.”

Knots: “Alice looks ready to go, though. Maria and Valeria are still talking strategy.”

Maria rushes out and goes for a clothesline, but Alice ducks it and shoves her into the corner as the ref calls for the bell and starts the match. Maria looks for an opening, but Alice gets her in a wrist lock and twists it around behind Maria’s back. Maria twists it back around and Alice goes for the spinning heel kick, but Maria ducks it and whips Alice toward the ropes. Maria with an enzuigiri to take Alice down. Allice scrambles to her feet and Maria runs to the ropes and springboards off for a tornado DDT.

Sharper: “A quick start to this match for Maria and Valeria.”

Knots: “Maria flying all over the place here early.”

Alice gets to her knees and looks to her corner. Maria slides to her knees and puts a headlock on Alice. Both slowly stand to their feet and Alice looks over at Cain, but then turns and backpedals toward the corner and slams Maria back first into the corner. Alice turns around and hits a facebuster that plants Maria. Alice applies a leg scissors on the ground and drives her elbow into Maria’s head. The official warns Alice about the shots to the head with her elbow and she backs off, smiling as she skips over to her corner and tags in Cain.

Sharper: “Wasting no time tagging in the big man.”

Knots: “Maria doesn’t even know it yet!”

Cain grabs Maria by the hair and picks her up, only to headbutt her right back down to the ground. Maria grabs Cain’s legs as she pulls herself back up and Cain positions her for a powerbomb and lifts her up. Cain turns toward Maria’s corner and runs and tosses her into the corner. Maria stumbles out and Cain hits a clothesline that flips Maria before she lands on her side.

Knots: “Cain turning Maria inside out with that clothesline!”

Sharper: “But look! Up top!”

Valeria comes off the top rope with a missile dropkick that takes Cain off his feet. Cain up to a knee and Valeria with a low hurricanrana that rolls him right back down to the ground.

Sharper: “Alice arguing with the official from her corner. The official says she tagged in.”

Knots: “Looking at the replay, Valeria tagged in when Cain threw Maria into the corner. The official saw it.

Valeria with stomps to Cain as he tries to get back to his feet. She strikes a forearm across his back that makes him arch his back in pain. Cain on his hands and knees and Valeria applying a sleeper hold now. Cain struggling to get to his feet and Valeria releases the hold right as he stands and hits a chop block to the back of the knee. Valeria pulls Cain to his feet and guides him to her corner. She chokes him with her foot. The ref comes in with the count.

Valeria drops her foot and puts her hands out as the ref follows her out of the corner. Maria, back on the apron, lands a punch to the side of Cain’s head and he drops out of the corner to the ground. Valeria rushes back into the corner and climbs to the top rope. Diving senton off the top and she goes for the cover.

Cain drives his shoulder off the mat and Valeria sits up on her knees.

Sharper: “First pin attempt of the match, but Cain got out of it.”

Knots: “Valeria doesn’t seem to mind. She’d got a grin on her face.”

Valeria tags in Maria and they both stomp away at Cain on the ground. Maria pulls Cain up with an inverted facelock and here comes Valeria off the top with Ruby Slippers. The diving double foot stomp to the chest and Maria hooks the leg.

1!

Sharper: “Cain kicks out of the pin again, but Maria and Valeria don’t seem too worried.”

Knots: “Alice looks like she’s itching to get in here.”

Maria with a few slaps to Cain’s head as he works to get to his feet. Maria now hits the ropes and comes back with a basement dropkick to the knees. Now running the ropes again and hits a dropkick to the side of the head. Cain crumples to his side. Maria taunts Alice as she circles the grounded Cain and stomps at his side. Maria climbs the nearby corner as Cain tries to gather to his feet. Cain turns as Maria leaps out of the corner for the diving crossbody. Cain catches her! He tosses her on his shoulder and hits a spinning sidewalk slam. Cain reaches for his corner for the tag.

Sharper: “Desperation offense from Cain, but he needs to get Alice in the match.”

Knots: “Maria doesn’t see it yet.”

Maria scrambles to her feet in time to see Cain tag in Alice. She hits the ring and clotheslines Maria back to the ground and then runs over and shoulderblocks Valeria off the apron to the ground on the outside. Alice is charged up as she spins herself in a circle and waits on Maria to get back to her feet. The Wonderland Touch! A superkick to the back of the head. Alice scrambles over and hooks the leg for the pin.

1!

NO!

Sharper: “The ref was about to count three there, but he Maria’s foot touched the bottom rope.”

Knots: “Got to give it to her there. Amazing ring awareness.”

Alice gets back to her feet and waits as Maria starts to get up. The crowd reacts as Lucas Knight and David Helms start walking down the ramp. They head to the ring with purpose and Cain Adams turns and hops down, smirking. Knight and Helms both have their hands up as Cain walks up to them and meets with them. He immediately gets into David’s face and David shoves him back .

 

Sharper: “David Helms and Lucas Knight coming out and they have a purpose!”

 

Knots: “Here we go!”

 

Lucas steps up and keeps them apart.

Lucas: “Where the hell is Gio at? Where is he?”

David: “And what did he do to Jason? What’s wrong with him?”

Lucas: “What the hell did you do?”

Cain doesn’t respond just laughing as Alice has Maria set up to hit her with the Kiss of Ecstasy, but she loses her grip. Valeria hits Alice with Nueva Persepctiva, the double knee facebreaker. Maria pulls Alice back to her feet for Mala Suerte, the inverted facelock spun out DDT planting Alice into the mat. Cain then looks up at the big screen and sees the pin and slides in.

1!

3!

The crowd boos as Cain is a moment too late. Maria rolls under the bottom rope as the ref calls for the bell and her and Valeria celebrate on the outside. Cain checks on Alice before he turns and looks out at Lucas and David.

Phillips: “Here are your winners, via pinfall, Maria Vencejo and Valeria Garcia! Las Bandidas de Gata Negras!”

Sharper: “Maria and Valeria took advantage of the distraction caused by Lucas and David, but more questions from this than answers. No question they cheated to win here.”

Knots: “Cain didn’t have to go out there and confront those two. They don’t look here to fight.”

Sharper: “But they’ve all had issues for weeks. Clearly something is off with Jason and they want to find Giovanni!”

Knots: “Only thing I’m certain of is who won this match. The rest of it we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.”

 

Sharper: “Now let’s go backstage where Jaina Lancaster is standing by with Matt Hodges who makes his in-ring return tonight!”

The scene cuts to the SCW interview area where Jaina Lancaster stands next to Matt Hodges who holds an opened folding chair.

 

Jaina: “Thank you Adam. Matt, tonight you face Konrad Raab. A good friend of Alistaire Allocco’s who coming off quite a personal conflict. But why do you have a steel chair?”

 

Hodges: “Don’t worry. I don’t have this for any evil purposes. I mean anyone can swing a chair. Just look at Jake Starr. But I have this because this, right here, is going to be Alistaire’s front row seat. I’m going to play it at ringside. I’ve heard the plaudits. Even he talked about my moniker, World Class. The plucky guy called me out. Punked me out. Well, I’m going to show him exactly what WORLD CLASS talent is and maybe he can learn a few things. And if he can’t from watching, he can ask his friend.”

 

Jaina: “So this is just to give him a closer look?”

 

Hodges: “Of course. Whatever would give you the idea I would do anything else?”

 

Hodges smirks as he then walks off, still brandishing the chair. Jaina watches him leave before turning to the camera.

 

Jaina: “Matt Hodges will face Konrad Raab later tonight!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, we see Jason Helms in the corner, a towel over his head, wincing in pain, squinting his eyes as he holds his head. He then leans up.  Amy Chastaine sits with him as David Helms and Lucas Knight come into the room.

 

Amy: “Anything?”

 

David: “Giovanni’s not here or some damn thing.”

 

Lucas: “They getting worse?”

 

Jason: “Oh they’re great. I enjoy a jackhammer to my skull.”

 

Amy: “It doesn’t make sense. He’ll be fine for hours then this sudden migraine for a few minutes. He had to have given him something while down there or something.”

 

David: “Did he get tested?”

 

Jason: “All clean. This is just a new part of the Jason Helms Experience. Not as good as the Blake Mason one-“

 

Amy rolls her eyes. Jason smirks before wincing again.

 

Jason: “It’ll pass.”

 

David: “It will once we have a clue what the hell happened to you?”

 

Jason: “Nothing…just darkness…and smoke….nothing else. Just leave it.”

 

Jason gets up and winces and bends over a bit before getting up.

 

Jason: “It’s passing anyway!”

 

Jason heads off as Amy and David look at one another. Lucas walks off with Jason to make sure he’s okay.

There’s a loud click as the lights around the building flick off and darkness consumes the arena, with nothing but a few flashes from cameras in the crowd lighting the arena. The lights return slowly and dimly in a crimson hue as a boos spread throughout the arena, then without warning we see black and white footage spring to life on the screen of Winston Churchill giving one of his most famous speeches, all the while the chilling sound of air raid sirens and war can be heard in the background...

"We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall NEVER surrender!"

The video suddenly burns away to reveal a second hidden image of the devious ex-president George H. W. Bush giving a speech of his own...

"When we are successful, and we will be, we'll have a real chance at this new world order..."

“Indestructible” By Disturbed hits over the P.A system causing the crowd to erupt into a sea of boos as they know who is about to make their presence felt. The boos grow as Syren walks out from the back. She steps forward, followed by CHBK. Ravyn Taylor and Alexander Crowe walk out next before Christy Matthews, in her wrestling gear, and Red Riding Hood cape, with Christopher Richter taking up the rear.

 

Sharper: “Infamous coming down. Christy Matthews ready for action. She’ll face Derek Adonis shortly.”

 

Knots: “How much do you wanna bet that someone is going to have something to say?”

 

Sharper: “We said Syren had to have watched earlier and I’m sure she’ll have a response to our new World Champion.”

 

Infamous starts to walk down to the ring as the crowd continues to boo. We cut to show Bree’s head on the banner still hanging over the ring as Alexander Crowe hops onto the apron and holds the ropes open for Syren. Syren enters, followed by Ravyn Taylor. Crowe enters as CHBK does next. Richter and Matthews enter in after. Syren walks around the ring as Infamous spreads out, making sure to hold control of the ring as a show of strength before Syren asks for a microphone. Phillips hands her one. She takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. She looks around as the crowd boos some more. The music fades out as Syren looks around the ring. The crowd boos her as Syren turns and glances up at the ripped banner and smirks.

 

Syren: “A new champion….”

 

Syren smirks as she steps forward.

 

Syren: “Too bad you left something out in your little speech tonight…You wouldn’t be holding that title if I hadn’t gotten involved.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Syren: “Consider it a small favour. But don’t worry, you won’t be holding it long. You’re a temporary holder. They call it a transitional champion and sooner rather than later, I will be taking it from you. I hope as soon as next week if things go the way they should and fate smiles on me.”

 

Syren pauses for a moment as the crowd boos.

 

Syren:” But until then…I get to take some solace in returning the favour. At Under Attack, you tried to end my career James! When you cut that part of the chains and I fell through? Remember that?”

 

Syren points to the area of the ring where it was back in October 2019. The crowd boos.

 

Syren: “And at Cold Blooded, I waited for my moment and I took advantage of a little help from Bree and made sure that you were not going to get up for three. And I hate to be the bearer of good news…but James won’t be back anytime soon. Looks like I finally broke him. I told you that I’d get revenge. SCW wouldn’t put it when it should’ve happened in this ring at Retribution. I should’ve been walking out World Champion too….but instead, I had to take the actions I did and James…every time you look at your knee, at your body, at everything you put yourself through, just note that you could’ve been saved months earlier…but instead, I will take great happiness and joy that I at least got the revenge I HAVE DESERVED for months!”

 

Syren looks around as the crowd boos.

 

Syren: “But that’s fine…you can now sit at home and be totally jealous while I get back to where I should be and that’s on top with another record setting title reign!”

 

Syren then goes to step back before Ravyn steps up and asks for the microphone. She hands it to her wife as Ravyn smirks and looks forward.

 

Ravyn: “Now, despite all of that was fun and greatly deserved…there are other problems that need to be resolved and one turns our attention to Christy here and a certain rotund individual. Now none of us have any desire to engage in anything as vanilla as a cheesy catchphrase that is the result of an explosion, such overtly lazy entendre, when frankly, as demonstrated on this program, I certainly have had my experience on display. But we do not need any gifts…”

 

Syren smirks.

 

Ravyn: “Syren had the best release she could’ve asked for ten days ago at Cold Blooded.

 

The crowd boos. Syren smirks.

 

Ravyn: “But we heard that some threatened comments were made by someone named after a dessert and we were quite rude by not responding, so tonight, we have our response in the form of a former World Champion, one of the most dominant Adrenaline Champions of all time, and finally, a former World Tag Team Champion and all it took was a Bad, Bad Girl to get it for her, not a Handsome Devil…Christy Matthews.”

 

Ravyn turns and hands the microphone to Christy. Christy takes it and turns to the camera.

 

Christy: “Come on Derek…I realize you probably only get your release from happy endings…but tonight…I’ll give your Happily Never After.”

 

KABLAAAAAAAAAAM!!!


The opening horns of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Wanna B Ur Lovr” begin to play out over the crowd, meaning the crowd is about to be “graced” by the presence of a living love machine – the man known as Derek Adonis! Stepping out amidst spotlights of every colour of the rainbow alongside Cookie, the man’s outfit radiates light against a few blacklights slipped in, and he is completely oblivious to his detractors, basking in the glow of the spotlight. Cookie turns to Derek Adonis as Adonis looks at the ring, microphone in his hand. Christy takes off her entrance attire, as Infamous is now at ringside.

 

Derek: “Now, Christy…I know what this is like. Syren can’t get the job done so she need’s to get some assistance!”

 

The crowd roars as Christy looks at the stage.

 

Derek: “And KABLAM Labs could otherwise help with that, but sometimes, you just need a change in mindset! To become a bit more loose…to enjoy the moment….You don’t need too much PRESSURE because then it’s NOT going to happen. And tonight, I’m loose, I’m ready to perform…and I’m warmed up and ready thanks to Cookie here, but even I won’t be able to give you what you want! So Christy…you’re going to have some difficulties, and there’s NOTHING I can do about that! KABLAM!”

 

Derek puts the microphone down as Derek Adonis starts to head to the ring with Cookie. His music starts to play again. He struts to the ring as Christy looks at him and shakes his head. Derek Adonis then steps up the steel steps with exaggerated steps before entering the ring. He then looks at Christy.

 

Sharper: “Derek Adonis maybe poking the bear.”

 

Knots: “I don’t know how smart that is. Then again, Christy Matthews and Infamous seems pretty confident.”

 

The bell sounds. Christy then runs across and before Derek can even get set, Christy nails him with a forearm shot and then another and another. Derek falls to a knee. The crowd boos loudly as Christy kicks him in the chest and then again and again.

Sharper: “And Matthews all over Adonis to start.”

 

Knots: “Okay, maybe Derek made a mistake!”

 

Sharper: “He better figure this out or this could be a quick one. Christy Matthews has always been overlooked, but she is as dangerous as anyone.”

 

Derek starts to grab at the ropes and Christy kicks him in the ribs again. Derek falls to the corner. Christy then chops him. The crowd woos. Christy then walks around the ring. She smirks and turns to Infamous. Syren applauds as Christy turns and runs at Derek but Derek suddenly steps out and hits a body avalanche on Christy. Christy hits the mat and falls to it. She rolls over and gets up and Derek walks over and scoops her up and slams her down. The crowd cheers. Derek pulls his shirt down as he runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for a running elbow drop, but Christy moves out of the way. Adonis hits the mat and rolls over. Christy gets up and lines him up before hitting a dropkick to the face.

Sharper: “But Adonis has size and that can be used well.”

 

Knots: “You’d know. You’re rotund yourself!”

 

Adonis rolls over and Christy gets up and stomps him in the back of the head and then again. Adonis rolls over and moves to the ropes. He uses them to get up and Christy just looks at him and nails him with a hard right and then another before backing up thanks to the official. Adonis steps out and Christy goes for a shoot kick to the chest, but Adonis catches it. Christy looks stunned as Adonis pulls her in and hoists her up and hits a bearhug spinebuster. The crowd ohs. Adonis gets up and gets up and Christy slowly pulls herself up and turns to him and Adonis scoops her up and hits a fallaway slam. He then turns and goes to the bottom rope. He pulls himself up.

Knots: “Syren still is stunned. Can we get a photo and have that hanging over the ring?”

 

Adonis gets up and grabs Christy. He pulls her up and Christy nails him with a hard right to the ribs. Adonis grimaces and falls to the ropes. Christy moves back to the corner. Adonis steps out and Christy runs out and hits a spinning heel kick. The crowd boos. Christy goes for the pin.

The crowd cheers loudly as Adonis looks around as Cookie jumps up and down and then sticks her tongue out at Syren. Syren looks at Adonis as Cookie keeps taunting her.

Sharper: “From an upset, we go to a situation where everyone is upset! Kandis will challenge Regan Street for the SCW Television Championship.”

 

Knots: “And I’m sure Tommy Valentine will be in Kandis’ corner. This is going to be wild!”

 

Sharper: “It’s next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

We return backstage to see Jessica Winters walking over to Derek Adonis and Cookie backstage. There’s a full on celebration as we see Sammy Thomas Davies, Clamidiya, Kelsai Adamson-Mason, Owen Cruze and Peyton Rice all in the room.

 

Jessica: “Derek! Can I get a word?”

 

Adonis looks around.

 

Adonis: “KABLAM!”

 

Cheers follow as Adonis looks around before celebrating.

 

Cookie: “See Jessica! You can’t stop the KABLAMottapus! You can’t stop KABLAM Labs and maybe we won’t even send a consolation prize to Infamous! I mean if Derek Adonis can beat them…we had all of the support, but I bet they never thought this would happen! That’s what we’re about! MAN Mountain climbed to the top!”

 

Jessica: “So what’s next then Cookie? You know Infamous won’t just let this lie!”

 

Cookie: “Then we’ll be ready. And you know what…I think all of this has made it so if Derek can stand up to them, maybe I need to aim bigger. Last year, yeah…I was the greatest host in Taking Hold of the Flame history. This year…”

 

Cookie looks around.

 

Cookie: “I think I’m going to win the whole thing!”

 

Cookie looks around as we then hear Sammy Thomas Davies, Owen Cruze, Kelsai and others laughing, thinking Cookie is telling a joke. Cookie looks around.

 

Cookie: “What?!”

 

The laughter continues as Jessica turns to the camera.

 

Jessica: “Well it’s a celebratory mood here backstage! Back to the ring!”

 

The scene cuts away.

Kandis vs. Regan Street

SCW Television Championship

 

The opening bass of "Baby Got Back" begins and Kandis steps out from the curtain, a sway in her step. The SCW World Tag Team Championship is around her waist. Tommy Valentine walks out with her, holding his Tag Team Championship. The music cuts to a remixed version of the chorus, with added bass, and Kandis turns around to wiggle her bountiful rear end. Some of the males in the crowd cheer as Kandis turns back and starts down the ramp.

 

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for onefall and has a fifteen minute time limit and is for the SCW Television Championship. First, the challenger, accompanied by Tommy Valentine, from West Hollywood, California, she is one half of the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Kandis!”

 

When Kandis gets to the ring steps, the line skips in the remix:

"My anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't-- my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon!"

Kandis shakes her hips in time to the words, then steps through the ropes and slaps her ass right at the whip sound. The bass line continues as Kandis bounces on her feet a little, shaking all of her assets. Tommy Valentine walks around the ring and tags her tag title for safe keeping.

 

Sharper: “Kandis is ready for this one. She’s hoping to walk out a double champion too. She just needs to take the title from Regan, the same title Regan took from the man in her corner, Tommy Valentine.”

 

Knots: “Regan wants to also get those tag titles. You wonder if she beats Kandis tonight, will that put Frozen Hell back in contention for a rematch.”

 

The arena goes dark. The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Who's Next” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. Regan Street walks out in her cheetah print wrestling gear and ensemble with her younger sister, Mikaela and cousin Delilah behind her. The SCW Television Championship is around her waist.

 

Phillips: “Her opponent, accompanied by Mikaela Street and Delilah, from Santa Monica, California, she is the SCW Television Champion, the Hellcat, Regan Street!”
 
She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with cheers. Regan turns to Mikaela and Delilah, they all nod before she looks around at the crowd, screams and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match and starts to make her way down to the ring followed by Mikaela and Delilah. Regan Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring as the crowd roars. Regan flips over the ropes back first to cheers from the fans, Mikaela slides after her. Once inside the ring Regan goes to the corner, climbing it and posing in her own confident way as Mikaela claps before dropping down and walking to the middle of the ring where she takes off her entrance attire and nods to her sister, handing her the gear and she makes her way to the corner while the Hellcat stands waiting to start her fight. Regan then cart wheels and ruffles her hair as she waits for the match to begin.

 

Sharper: “The question now is what condition Regan Street is in.”

 

Knots: “That whole situation with Xander still doesn’t fully make sense. Did he respect her?”

 

Sharper: “And the other issue is the man in the corner of Kandis. Tommy Valentine and David Helms had a bit of a clash at Cold Blooded. A lot of tensions riding high and yes, the TV AND Tag Team titles are in the middle of this all.”

 

Regan looks across at Kandis as the crowd cheers. The SCW Television Championship logo comes across the screen as the official holds up the title. He hands it off and the bell sounds. Regan and Kandis circle the ring and move toward one another and lock up in the middle of the ring. Regan pushes Kandis back, but Kandis spins through and sends Regan into the ropes. Kandis pushes out and Regan spins through too and they spin around again, both trying to get some advantage before Kandis gets Regan into the corner. Regan leans back. The referee calls for the break.

The crowd boos as Kandis throws Regan into the corner.

 

Sharper: “And Kandis goes for the eyes. And quickly turns this around.”

Knots: “And Kandis has a wide base thanks to her assets!”

 

Sharper: “Getting the leverage. Getting the hold in. Regan in trouble earlier in this one than I had figured. Tommy getting in her head. Maybe Xander too.”

 

Regan grimacing as Kandis pulls back. Regan then starts to get her arm free and starts to move towards the ropes. She slowly shimmies, but Kandis then lets go and jumps up and lands hard on Regan’s spine with the Bass Drop. The crowd ohs. Kandis then gets up and rolls her over and hooks the leg.

Phillips: “Here is your winner, via pinfall, and STILL SCW Television Champion, Regan Street!”

 

Regan starts to jaw at Tommy as the official hands her the SCW Television Championship. Tommy just holds the World Tag Team Championship belts, still looking at her as the crowd roars. Regan then backs off and holds up her title and rolls to the floor. Mikaela and Delilah join her and she heads to the back. Tommy just looks at her as Kandis stirs. Tommy bends over to check on her.

 

Sharper: “And one last face to face. Regan Street managing to just be a step ahead at the end and retains! But this looks far from over.”

 

Knots: “Tommy entered the ring and Regan was ready in case he tried something!”

 

Sharper: “He didn’t this time and Regan leaving the ring. Kandis though made that damn close and Regan knows that.”

 

Regan continues to head to the back, turning around and holding her title before continuing to the back with Mikaela and Delilah.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, the scene opens up with Regan Street who is standing with Mikaela Street, Delilah, and has since been joined by David Helms and Selena Frost. Jessica Winters stands with Regan. Regan proudly holds her SCW Television Championship.

 

Jessica: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m here with Regan Street and a lot of support here tonight around here. You just defeated Kandis in a hell of a match. I know you’re looking to have a hot shower and enjoy the rest of the night, but one of the other sidestories involves the SCW World Tag Team Championship and with David here, I wonder if the personal nature of this all has ramped up even more than you imagined?”

 

Regan: “Personal….nah, this is just personal because Tommy made it that way. Needing to get involved at Cold Blooded. Needing to put David, his best friend, in a crap situation. But now, this is no longer personal. Because one on one, I walked through both Kandis and Tommy, holding onto this. Now I want their other titles. And I think we need to start talking about rematch to see whether you two can pin us or not-“

 

Tommy: “Should’ve known you’d be trying to immediately angle for the shot. Well I guess Kandis slipped. Or wait…I should have a rematch for the title you beat me for. Let’s start demanding more just because you’re the Hellcat when all this started by you going after us and doing what you always do….run your mouth and piss off the wrong people. The fact that David is on your side is not because he thinks you’re right, but because he was stupid enough to marry you!”

 

Just then, David steps up.

 

David: “You watch your mouth!”

 

Tommy: “Tell that to Regan. Oh wait…you can’t control her. But you’re going to come after me!”

 

Regan: “You want me to shut yours!”

 

Kandis: “I’d love to see you try.”

 

Selena: “Alright…let’s calm-“

 

Tommy: “Nah, let’s ramp this up!”

 

David starts to move forward as Selena protects Mikaela and Delilah. Regan steps up as Tommy backs up and the camera follows him, showing him grabbing a plastic chair. He grabs it as officials start to come into view. The crowd roars and Tommy lifts it up.

 

Tommy: “Come on Regan! You want to start another fight!”

 

Tommy then lifts the chair up when suddenly a hand comes from off camera and grabs it and pulls it away. Officials get between the two sides as Tommy turns and gets ready to swing. We hear the chair crashing to the floor as Regan and David look stunned, as does Selena. The camera turns to show Xander Valentine with Artemis.

 

Xander: “If you’re going to take her out…you should do it in the ring…And next time you involve yourself in my business…I’ll make sure that is the last thing you do.”

 

Tommy just looks at Xander as Kandis starts to pull Tommy back. Xander then glances at Regan, locking eyes with her briefly, followed by Selena. Xander turns and walks off as David grabs him by the arm and turns him around. Xander looks at him.

 

David: “This is your way of showing respect?”

 

Xander just walks off. We cut to the ring.

 

Knots: “Guess Xander Valentine does actually respect Regan!”

 

Sharper: “And he’s sending a message to Tommy Valentine. But I wonder if there’s also something else there…the possibility of a rematch.”

 

Knots: “Or David Helms…he said he’d take a shot at Xander too. A lot to unpack! Maybe we’ll see a clash there next week in Fatal Fortunes!”

The lights go down and flash purple as "Nightmare" by Halsey starts to play. 

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
If I shall die before I 'wake
I pray the Lord, my soul to take

 

A few moments pass before Jordan Majors walks through the curtain. She then starts to head to the ring. The crowd cheers her loudly as she heads down the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Speaking of a lot to unpack. Jordan Majors is no longer the Adrenaline Champion, but as we’ve seen, Bree Lancaster was looking for her.”

 

Knots: “Jordan’s coming here, so uh, yeah. Won’t be hard to find!”

 

Jordan Majors reaches the ring and slides in. She gets up to her knees and gets up, throwing her hair back. She then walks across the ring and goes to the corner. Phillips hands her a microphone. She takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. She then looks out at the crowd. They cheer as her music fades out. Jordan listens to the roar of the crowd for a moment longer before then starting to speak.

 

Jordan: “There are a few things I think I need to talk about tonight.”

 

The crowd roars. Jordan looks around.

 

Jordan: “And first off, I should speak to the new SCW Adrenaline Champion, Peyton Rice.”

 

The crowd cheers some more.

 

Jordan: “Peyton. Did I seem distracted? Did I seem unfocused? Because if you think so at Cold Blooded, you’re selling yourself short. I threw everything at you and you beat me. Congratulations. But Peyton, at some point, we’ll face again. I want to hold that title again and I will. That could come next week or the week after if fate is on my side. Or down the road. But I’m not going to be happy until I can say I’ve pinned you one on one.”

 

The crowd roars. Jordan pauses and walks around the ring.

 

Jordan: “Now, that brings me to the next issue and frankly it’s related. See at Cold Blooded, I entered that night feeling anxious knowing I was going to likely make a decision that was going to change a lot…not just in career but in my personal life. I left relieved and liberated.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Jordan: “It feel really damn good to drop Sienna on her face!”

 

The crowd explodes with more cheers. Jordan just smirks.

 

Jordan: “Now I know Bree, you’re looking for me. And no, I’m not ducking you. But unlike what’s been happening well for months, I’m intentionally not going to do this in some hotel room or locker room and force you to make a decision on the spur of the moment. Instead, I’m going to make sure you can think about it. I mean you’re the World Champion. You’re the US Champion…”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Jordan: “You were….are….I don’t know, a friend. But for months, I’ve been forced to choose between friends, family, people I love, people I lean on for support…and to the point that I’ve had to find people I can count on in this moment and well, after the last couple of weeks, the phony apologies, the threats of firing, the needing to tip-toe, all while trying to give my brother what he wanted…a team with his sister while also trying to navigate my way in SCW…I knew one thing…Sienna Swann is a manipulative bitch!”

 

The crowd again erupts with another cheer.

 

Jordan: “And Bree…I think you need to open your eyes to it. Sure, she was there to celebrate the World Championship. But we all know she cares more about that title than friendship. Remember, she’s already cast off the Trueloves. She’s broken marriages. She’s been a fraud for years…a fraud everywhere but in this ring, but that doesn’t matter. She’s used you like everyone else. Just like she used your friendship to try and get another person to protect her…hoping to use me until it was all over. And I was willing to listen…I mean you’re a friend. You were my best friend. But the last few weeks showed me that you’re not invincible to Sienna’s ways. So Bree…think about it long and hard. Don’t come out here. Don’t talk to me. Think about it. Because the fact that I have to stand here and ask whether you’re my friend and its all because of Sienna Swann…when I have to wonder who I really still have a relationship with in this company…all thanks to her…that should tell you why I did what I had to do.”

 

Jordan steps forward and looks firmly into the camera.

 

Jordan: “And this brings me to you Sienna. I saw that you’ve said a few places that you’re going to come for me. Bring it bitch!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Jordan: “Because I now know what my purpose is, what my focus is, and it’s going to be causing you to crash and burn and bring your manipulations to an end. You thought you failed at Retribution…I plan to make that only your second biggest failure in SCW this year, because when I push you off the pedestal you put yourself on…then I know exactly who the hell I am and that Jordan F’n Majors!”

 

Jordan brings the microphone down as “Nightmare” by Halsey starts to play. The crowd cheers as Jordan looks around.

 

Sharper: “Sounds like she’s going to war against Sienna!”

 

Knots: “And Bree Lancaster better make a decision. I wonder how that’s going to go!”

 

Sharper: “Something tells me that Jordan knows too.”

 

Jordan then hands the microphone back off before turning to the ropes and steps through them and to the floor. She then starts to walk around the ring and to the rampway before heading to the back.

The scene open up to see Jaina Lancaster looking uncertain before composing herself and walking over to the door of the private room of Blake Mason. A few moments pass before the door opens and Josh Hudson stands on the other side.

 

Jaina: “Josh?”

 

Josh: “Yes. Jaxson let me in. Apparently Blake was expecting me. But I wasn’t expecting you.”

 

Jaina: “I’m here to get some comments from Blake. Tag Titles, his comments on Taking Hold of the Flame-“

 

Josh: “Oh that…well, the tag titles. They were an interesting distraction. I’m sure with Kelsai celebrating backstage, despite the good effort, and how the tag champs moved on, Blake should too. But Taking Hold of the Flame. That’s a bit more….uh…disappointing.”

 

At this point, Blake Mason walks towards the door.

 

Blake: “Jaina….and Josh….”

 

Josh: “Hi Blake. Jax let me in. Nice guy.”

 

Jaina: “I came for a comment-“

 

Josh: “And I told her how your balls are in a jar.”

 

Blake: “No such thing. Just I have no desire to dwell on past issues. I’m focusing on the future.”

 

Josh: “One where you never see the World Title. I mean, what a story. You won the Taking Hold of the Flame….Bree held onto the title…”

 

Blake: “I thought you wanted me to focus on you. On our potential future clash. Something that IS in my future. Part of the reason I allowed Jaxson to allow you in. So we could discuss matters, since we’re on better speaking terms.”

 

Josh: “And I just want to ensure you’re ready for it. I’m not the one foregoing opportunities because things are unpleasant.”

 

Blake: “So you’ll be in it.”

 

Josh: “Of course. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. But you can watch it from up here.”

 

Blake turns to Jaina.

 

Blake: “If you can excuse us, we have some things to discuss privately.”

 

Jaina: “Of course.”

 

Blake then steps inside the luxury box as Hudson nods and closes the door. The scene cuts to black.

COMMERCIALS

The arena goes dark and the SCWTron springs to life as we have the words “Damron Family Values” in golden letters. Then the scene shifts to a mother helping two younger children with homework. In the backdrop we can hear Louis Armstrong singing his timeless classic “What a Wonderful World”.

“I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.”

While this is played, a man’s voice over is heard…

Voice Over: “Families are the cornerstone of our culture-the building blocks of a strong society. In families, children learn values and ideals, as well as the basic lessons that get them started on a lifelong path of education.”

Switching scenes now, the same mother along with a man who can only be assumed is her husband are outside playing with the same two children. They are all laughing together and having a good time. In the backdrop, Louis Armstrong continues to sing…

“I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.”

The voice over also continues…

Voice Over: “We believe that every child deserves the chance to be born and grow up in a lovin’ family. We also believe that while families exist in many different forms, there are ideals to strive for. Evidence shows us that children have the best chance at success when raised by a mother and a father who love and respect each other as well as their children.”

Switching scenes again, the family is together once more, this time as they are eating an evening meal together at the table where the mother was helping her children do their homework earlier. The television can be seen in the room and it is off while Louis Armstrong is singing once more...

“The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.”

The voice over continues once more too...
Voice Over: “We also know that family breakdown makes America less stable. To create a sturdy foundation for the strength and success of our citizens and our nation, we support policies that promote strong families.”

Finally, the children are being tucked in at night by Mom and Dad together, the parents looking in on their children even after they are in their beds, safe and protected. Louis Armstrong sings for the final time.

“I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.”

The voice over is gone now however as we switch to a scene of a man on a sofa. He has shoulder length brown hair and is wearing a worn black cowboy hat, a button down black shirt, black jeans, and black cowboy boots. The man offers more of his thoughts…

“We also support a government that makes it easier for parents to raise their children in a world that offers unprecedented opportunities and new challenges. We offer an approach based on our common values and our common hopes.”

The camera starts to pan out from the sofa and the man is joined by several other people, a blonde female who is about his age both fit, a younger couple him being a lean, muscular build of a man of brown hair and her a blonde who is also fit. And three other children, younger, all blonde and fit. Everyone else's clothes except for the original man appear to be homemade.The man speaks to those viewing again.

“And just who are we you might be wonderin’?

We are The Damrons, and you are goin’ to be seein’ a lot more of us SCW.”

As the camera very slowly fades out from The Damrons, we hear “Fake It” by Seether

“Who's to know if your soul will fade at all
The one you sold to fool the world
You lost your self-esteem along the way
Yeah..”

 

Knots: “Guess we’re gonna see more of them! They said so!”

 

Sharper: “That they did and they’ve already been getting into some interesting discussions with some of the more colourful people in SCW on Twitter.”

Void vs. Sammy Thomas Davies

Phillips: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall..”

A slight pop from the crowd as the camera turns and focus on a couple that is in the squared circle.

Phillips: Already in the ring at this time, accompanied by Clamidya, he is from the Red Light District, here is Sammy Thomas Davies!

Raising his right fist as his name is called, Sammy poses around the ring briefly with Clamidya, before she goes outside and into his corner still offering encouragement.

Sharper: Sammy Thomas Davies always says that he is ready for action ladies and gentlemen, I guess we are going to find shortly whether or not that is true tonight.

Knots: This isn’t fair Sharper. Every time we have STD on this program and we get to see him really test someone you act like he is not a threat but…

The shows the announce position momentarily, where Sharper just rolls his eyes and shakes his head while Knots smirks.

Sharper: Would you just stop, please?

Knots: But I’m just getting warmed up!

Sharper: That’s what I am afraid of.

Sammy is diligently stretching out in a corner when Scarlet begins to play as the entire arena in engulfed in red lighting, feeling so much like a thick red veil has overtaken the arena that its suffocating.

Phillips: And his opponent accompanied to the ring by manager Angel, from Parts Unknown and weighing 135 pounds, this is Void!

Through the smoke that begins to cover the stage, Void slowly walks out onto the stage, snarling at the fans in an almost animalistic fashion. Angel is not far behind her, a hand on Void's shoulder as she says something to her that has the masked woman nodding. The two begin making their way down to the ring, Angel never breaking her contact with Void which seems to be the only thing keeping her from venting her aggression on any of the booing fans around them.

Sharper: Not a whole lot known about this newcomer ladies and gentlemen, though Void does have an impressive look and a bit of a surly attitude I would say from watching her head to the ring right now.

Knots: She is certainly a tall woman this Void, it remains to be scene whether or not she is up to the challenge to face STD and not end up getting The Clap!

Sharper: I asked you to stop, really

Knots: What? The Clap, its his move, not mine!  You cannot blame that one on me Sharper, its not my fault!

Once they reach ringside Angel pulls back her hand, and Void slides into the ring and crouches down in her corner as Angel stays on the floor, giving more instructions to her as the lights return to normal. Sammy comes to the middle of the ring and offers him a hand shake, but Void, looking like a crazed animal running over Sammy with a clothesline as the referee calls for the bell to begin the match.

DING! DING! DING!

Sammy classes the canvas immediately in a heap and Void wastes no time in mounting him punching him repeatedly in the face while the referee starts to count to five as she will not quit away on Sammy who is just covering up.

1..


2..


3..


4..

Rather than counting to five and disqualifying Void, the referee takes it upon himself to forcefully break up Void and Sammy, something almost causes Void to hit the referee which no doubt would have been a disqualification.

Sharper: Void wastes no time in just destroying Sammy Thomas Davies. I am not even sure she understood that the referee was ordering her to stop punching Sammy.

Knots: She really doesn’t seem to understand anything at all that is being said to her by anyone. It’s like there is a real disconnect with the rest of the world, just a void.

Sharper: Oh lord…..

As soon as the referee backs away after it is clear that there is not any danger to him, Void is right back on Sammy punching away at him in a corner just as Sammy has tried to pull himself back up. Then before Sammy has been given time to think, Void turns and nails him with the sharp point of her elbow right on the side of the jaw. Sammy drops like a bunch of kids going under water while bobbing for apples at Halloween and even the crowd is nearly paralyzed with fear for the most part, though the ones that can still boo.

Sharper: That is an incredible shot with the elbow by Void, and Sammy Thomas Davies just had his lights dimmed ladies and gentlemen.

Knots: Had his lights dimmed? I think Sammy had his lights turned out and he is not going to be getting up anytime soon. Void calls the Void Effect and if she wanted to, she could make the cover, but I have a feeling that she might not be done.

Indeed, Void is not finished as she slowly stands Sammy up and then bounces off of the ropes and hits a huge spear. The crowd is now oooohhing and aaaaaahhing and Sammy who was already out on his feet might need the fire department to come scrape him off of the mat after this one as he is not going anywhere while Void makes the Academic cover.

2…


Void rips Sammy’s head off the mat after receiving instructions from Angel to continue the match!

Sharper: Alright, if I was the referee I would be giving serious consideration to stopping the damn match right now. Sammy Thomas Davies has a family to think about

Knots: He does?

Sharper: It sounded good damn it, what can I say? Sue me!

Knots: No thanks, Keenie and I have more than enough, but thanks for the offer!

Void lift Sammy off the mat only to send him thundering right back down with…

Sharper: Into the Void, that has to be it!

Knots: Goodnight Irene indeed!

Void makes the cover on the hapless Sammy who hasn’t moved under his own power in the last two minutes

DING! DING! DING!  

Phillips: The winner of this contest, Void!

Knots: Excuse me, did Phillips just make a joke?

Sharper: What do you mean?

Knots: He just called this a contest, and I don’t think that Sammy contested anything!

Sharper: Well, I think you may be right. A dominating performance by Void. Now let’s go backstage where Jessica Winters is standing by with Owen Cruze!”

As Angel leads the dangerous Void away, Clamidiya is in to check on Sammy as the scene fades.

The scene opens up backstage as Owen Cruze stands next to Jessica Winters. Kelcey Wallace stands next to him. Owen is noticeably still a bit wet from earlier.

 

Jessica: “Thank you Adam. Owen, seemed to have had a nice loose night. You beat your uncle at Cold Blooded. I know it was a classic moment, but Owen, now it’s time to focus on what’s next and that’s Taking Hold of the Flame and Rise to Greatness.”

 

Owen: “It was truly special and Shaun brought it. I can’t believe it happened, but it did. We left it all out there and I managed to beat him. I know that part stings for him, but for me, it’s vindication. And with that vindication, after I beat Syren at Retribution, then Shaun at Cold Blooded, we all know where I’m looking…the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. I’ve been the ironman in it before. Time to take the whole thing and I know that’s going to be hard. I know it’s gonna be a hell of a challenge, but that’s what I’m here for…”

 

Owen pauses.

 

Owen: “But we’ll also see what next week brings. Or the week after. A lot could change. I could be standing with gold for all I know. But if not, Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal…that’s the next stop!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Jessica: “Excellent news and before we go, Kelcey, do you mind if I ask a quick question.”

 

Kelcey; “Of course.”

 

Jessica: “We saw Chris earlier looking well…rather upset. Have you ever seen him this way? He’s been different, to say the least, the last few weeks.”

 

Kelcey sighs and pauses.

 

Kelcey: “No, I’ve never seen him like this. And unfortunately, it’s best I leave my response at that.”

 

Jessica: “Of course. Thanks for your time.”

 

Owen nods and Kelcey does too before they head off.

 

Jessica: “More Breakdown after this.”

 

The scene fades to black.

Matt Hodges vs. Konrad Raab

 

Phillips: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.  Introducing first, MATT HODGES!

I Want It All!
I Want It All!
I Want It All!

And I Want It Now!


The opening guitar riff of Queen’s “I Want It All” and Matt Hodges makes his way out from behind the curtain to momentous boos from the crowd. He pays no heed as he walks down to the ring, smirking. The fans sing “Matt Hodges sucks!” in unison with the chorus of the song.  Matt goes to retrieve a steel chair.  He sets it up by the ring and begins mouthing to the fans that “this is for Alistaire”

Hodges slow moves up the steps, wipes his foot on the apron, and gets into the ring. He walks into the opposite corner and pulls on the top rope. “I Want It All” dies out as the fans continue to chant “Matt Hodges sucks!”

Sharper: You heard him.  That chair is for Alistaire.

Knots: You think he’s going to show Alistaire how to really wrestle?

Cold as Ice by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder, Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back, Ice wolf on his left chest and ice bear on his right chest.

Phillips: “From Cologne, Germany, he is The Iceman, Konrad Raab!”

He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.  Meanwhile, Alistaire Allocco quietly begins to make his way to the ring.

Sharper: I don’t know about Hodges showing Alistaire anything about wrestling but I do know that Konrad Raab will not roll over for Hodges.

Knots: I agree.  Expect this to be a good one.

Allocco takes a seat in the chair Hodges set up earlier.  The bell rings and the match is under way.  Konrad starts off going for a clothesline but the quicker Matt Hodges ducks the attempt and gets a rear waistlock and takedown.  Hodges floats over into a front facelock.  He wrenches it in tightly as the referee gets in position to talk to Konrad but Konrad shakes his head, indicating a no…

Sharper: Hodges with some good chain wrestling early on.

Knots: He’s trying to send a message, Sharper.  Expect this to go on all night.  A clinic put on for Raab but more importantly for Allocco.

Konrad slowly uses his strength to power his way back up to his feet.  Hodges switches to a side headlock.  He wrenches it in tightly as Konrad continues to struggle in the hold.  Raab with three elbows to the gut that forces Hodges to release his grip.  Konrad with traditional boxing jabs and punches that stagger Hodges back.  Konrad then with a massive left uppercut sends Hodges on his ass.  Hodges scrambles back to his feet and Konrad clotheslines him over the top and to the floor.

Raab doesn’t let Hodges have any time to rest.  He goes right out after Matt and then suplexes him on the outside.  Raab rolls him back into the ring.  Konrad with a belly to back suplex.  Matt scrambles to his feet but is met by a huge spear from Raab.  Konrad into the cover.

1…Kickout!

Sharper: Too early for a victory there.

Knots: But it does make Hodges expend energy having to kick out.

Konrad pulls Matt to his feet and sends him into the ropes with an Irish whip.  Konrad with an arm drag.  Matt back up and runs into another arm drag.  Matt back up and runs into a deep arm drag into an arm bar from Raab.  Raab keeps the hold locked in tightly as Matt fights to break free.  Eventually Matt gets to his knees and then a little later back to his feet.  Raab switches to a hammerlock.  The hold is kept locked in for several seconds until Matt Hodges manages to counter into a hammerlock of his own.  A few moments later Konrad counters back into the hammerlock.  A few moments later and Matt counters that into a hammerlock scoop slam.

Sharper: Counter after counter from these two competitors.

Knots: And you bet Hodges is loving this.  It is a direct shot at Alistaire.  This chain wrestling and counters...all of it…

Hodges with a snap suplex and then a belly to belly overhead suplex.  Hodges with a belly to back suplex.  Hodges drops down into a rear chin lock on Raab.

Sharper: Nice rear chin lock.

Knots: And another shot directly at Alistaire.

Hodges leans all of his wait onto Konrad to keep the pressure applied.  The referee is in position to check on Konrad but Konrad assures the referee that he is fine.  Konrad begins to fight, drawing upon the crowd, most of whom are chanting “HODGES SUCKS”...Konrad gets to one knee...Konrad gets back to his feet and Hodges switches to a side headlock.  Konrad forces the break by using his superior strength to shove Hodges off into the ropes.  Konrad goes for a clothesline but Hodges ducks and lands a German suplex with a bridge…

1…

2…NO!

Sharper: Konrad rolled the shoulder up at two.

Knots: But look at these suplexes and brilliant wrestling from Matt Hodges.  He’s really rubbing it in now for Allocco.

Sharper: Don’t discount Konrad, though.  I’m sure he has plenty left to give.

Knots: We’ll see.  Hodges is doing great thus far.

Hodges reapplies the rear chin lock.  Konrad again fights and struggles in the hold but refuses to give in.  Konrad fights back to his knees and then back to his feet.  Konrad with three elbows to force the break.  Konrad with boxing punches and jabs staggers Hodges.  Konrad with a clothesline.  Konrad with a dropkick and then an enziguri kick.  Konrad Irish whips Hodges into the ropes and connects with a massive spine buster.  Konrad locks in a sharpshooter.

Sharper: You want to talk wrestling holds, this is a classic right here!  A sharpshooter from The Iceman!

Knots: I don’t think this is the message Hodges wants to send!

Konrad leans back, to put more torque on the back as well as on the legs of Hodges.  The referee is in position to ask Hodges if he gives in but Matt refuses.  Matt crawls to get to the ropes and he is within fingertips when Konrad drags him back out to the center.  Konrad immediately switches from the sharpshooter into an STF.

Sharper: We’ve been talking about Hodges and his wrestling skills.  What about Konrad?

Knots: I admit, that was impressive.

Once again the pressure is on Hodges and the referee is in his face asking for a submission but Hodges refuses.  Matt fights and crawls to the ropes and eventually reaches the bottom rope, forcing the break.  Konrad pulls him up and drops him with a ddt.  He covers…

1…

2…

...3NO! Hodges kicks out!

Konrad pulls him up and whips him into the ropes.  Konrad goes for a clothesline but Hodges counters the clothesline into a standing sleeper.

Sharper: The sleeper hold applied by Hodges!

Knots: I told you not to count out Hodges!

Konrad seems to be fading away as Matt wrenches the sleeper in tightly, cutting off the bloodflow to Konrad’s head.  Konrad drops to one knee.  Several seconds later and Konrad drops down to a seated position.  Matt demands that the referee check on Konrad.  He lifts Konrad’s arm once and it falls limp...he lifts it a second time and it falls limp a second time...he lifts it for a third and fatal time but this time Konrad comes back to life!  Konrad fights back to his knees.  Konrad uses his strength to fight back to his feet.  Hodges refuses to give up as he switches into a crossface chicken wing.

Sharper: Now the cross face chicken wing to Raab.

Knots: See?  Classic wrestling.

The referee is in Konrad’s face asking for a submission but Konrad says no.  Hodges tries to wrench it in tighter.  Konrad lets out a guttural yell as, with the last remaining strength he has, charges backward and rams Hodges into the corner, and this forces Matt to break the hold.  Konrad staggers out of the corner and turns around in time to see Hodges charging forward. Konrad catches Hodges with a chokeslam power bomb.

Sharper: The Iceinator!

Knots: That could be it…

Konrad into the cover…

1…

2…

...3NO! Hodges kicks out!

Sharper: Konrad almost had it right there!

Knots: He needs to keep up the pressure!

Konrad takes hold of Matt’s ankle and locks in an ankle lock.

Sharper: The Ice Lock applied!

Knots: Tapping out to Konrad definitely wouldn’t be a good message to send!

The referee gets in Matt’s face asking for a submission but Matt refuses.  He tries to get to the ropes but just as he gets there Konrad drags him out to the center.  Konrad wrenches it in even tighter.  Matt then reaches back for Konrad’s ankle.  Matt picks the ankle and rolls Konrad forward and into a victory roll style pin…

1…

2…

3…!

Matt quickly rolls off of Konrad and turns to Alistaire. Alistaire slowly stands up and politely applauds.

Phillips: Here is your winner, MATT HODGES!

 

Sharper: “An impressive technical showcase.”

 

Knots: “Hodges has learned a lot of new tricks in the last few years away.”

 

Sharper: “Even impressed Alistaire.”

 

Matt walks over to the ropes.

 

Matt: “I hope you were taking notes! THAT was World Class.”

 

Matt then rolls to the floor and looks at Alistaire before heading to the back. The crowd boos Hodges as Alistaire turns, watching him walk to the back.  

Backstage, we see Peyton Rice talking to Kelsai Adamson-Mason backstage before we see Kelsai nod and Peyton turns. Damian Angel steps forward. The crowd roars.

 

Peyton: “Damian….”

 

Damian: “Peyton. I wanted to quickly just say one thing to you.”

 

Peyton: “What’s that?”

 

Damian: “Congratulations. You earned it.”

 

Damian looks at the Adrenaline Championship. Peyton smiles a bit.

 

Damian: “And you did it your way. I have plenty to still learn.”

 

Damian turns and walks off. Peyton just looks down, almost thinking to herself before smiling a bit and turning to Kelsai. They continue their conversation as the scene fades out.

COMMERCIALS

Backstage, Matt Hodges walks through the hallway and over to one of the tables backstage where some bottled water is available. He grabs one and turns and twists it off before he turns and we see Adam Allocco walking over and hugging him.

 

Adam: “Matt! Buddy! It’s been too long.”

 

Matt: “Ah…Adam…that’s right. That’s who. Good job getting beat by the kid at Cold Blooded.”

 

Adam: “Just not in the ring as much as I have been. Promoting instead and well, Matt…I think we should talk. I mean, it’s clear you can teach Alistaire a lot and maybe deal with his rampant arrogance. I mean the kid thinks he is better than everyone. But he’s got a lot to learn.”

 

Matt: “I’ve noticed but I don’t give lessons.”

 

Adam: “I can pay.”

 

Matt goes to turn before stopping and smirks.

 

Matt: “Maybe we can come to an agreement. Didn’t you have another little guy running around.”

 

Adam: “Oh him…he’s not here. Apparently arranging a big shipment.”

 

Matt: “He’s a druggy? Huh….wouldn’t have guessed!”

 

Adam: “No! God no. Apparently he’s got something that will change the face of SCW. I figured I’d let him go deal with it.”

 

Matt: “Great…now…let’s start discussing terms if you’re serious.”

 

Adam and Matt walk off as the scene cuts away.

 

Sharper: “Is Adam actually now paying Matt Hodges to go after Alistaire?”

 

Knots: “I think he was doing so anyway. This is just mutually beneficial!”

A twisted form of a merry-go-round tune plays as sounds of rusty gears and chains are heard. A haunting choir of children’s can be heard as well, “La-la”ing to the music before suddenly-

“MAKE ME LAUGH!”

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard, a spotlight shining down on the ramp.

 

Sharper: “Well this is a bit of a surprise. Shilo Valiant is here!”

 

Knots: “Well his spotlight is here. Until I see him, I’m not going to say he’s here!”

 

The spotlight remains on the screen as his music continues to play throughout the arena.

 

Shilo: “No…not there!”

 

The spotlight remains on the stage before another spotlight shines on the ring. Shilo then chuckles.

 

Shilo: “Not there either!”

 

Knots: “Hey! Get off!”

 

The spotlight moves to show Shilo on the announce table, microphone in his hand. He walks forward, knocking something off.

 

Shilo: “Whoops…well it’s something for you there Jonny Boy, I doubt you’ll need it. Not like you really care. But it seems like I have made a few people even more unhappy!”

 

Shilo chuckles.

 

Sharper: “You remained down on the mat for the entirety of your match at Cold Blooded! You threw it!”

 

Shilo stops and turns and looks down at Adam Sharper.

 

Shilo: “Say that again. Speak clearly for the good audience here!”

 

Shilo lowers the microphone.

 

Sharper: “You threw the match!”

 

Shilo smirks and leans back briefly, nearly falling back before spinning around.

 

Knots: “Is he drunk?”

 

Shilo: “Oh…no no no no no NO! I did not throw anything. It was a test. I mean this is competition! All about wins or losses. Right?....RIGHT?!”

 

Shilo hops down and rolls into the ring. He gets up into the spotlight already shining down. He walks around before stopping and turning.

 

Shilo: “And it seems like a few people forgot about that. I HANDED the three of my rivals, people who wanted to defeat me! To teach me a lesson…I HANDED them a win. And they were all too stupid to figure it out….well, except one. HOW…How can we have creativity when one’s intelligence is so low, but fortunately one realized what was at play. That one being Datura…the one I had fun making sure she would be nothing more than a tool when I sent a personal message to Aaron. The one who tried to take my head off in the crowd right there.”

 

Shilo points to the crowd where he sat two weeks earlier. He smirks and turns.

 

Shilo: “She’s earned a special reward while Jay Gold and Aaron Blackbourne can continue to spin their wheels. So disappointing!”

 

Shilo shakes his head before we see Aaron Blackbourne walking down from the back. Shilo stops and notices him.

 

Shilo: “Oh Aaron…Aaron…I’m both sad, but glad that you came out here so I can share my disappointment with you to your face.”

 

Aaron Blackbourne walks to the ring, almost ignoring him.

 

Shilo: “Now I know you’re going to want to get your hands on me…but that’s the thing…Datura showed she could beat me! And well, now I have a reason to show her how wrong she is!”

 

Aaron Blackbourne reaches the ring as Shilo sighs.

 

Shilo: “The next time you’ll see me in this ring with be against Datura…or wait!”

 

Blackbourne slides into the ring and Shilo rolls out of the ring. He then backs up.

 

Shilo: “Or we’ll see whose fate is tied to mine next week. Let’s see Blackbourne how that turns out. Or if your growing obsession will continue to fester! Until then…well…make me laugh!”

 

Shilo laughs a bit as he flips the microphone forward and starts to walk around the ring. He starts to head up the rampway as the crowd boos. “The Man Who Laughs” plays as Blackbourne just looks at Shilo, clearly annoyed with his comments.

 

Sharper: “This was all a ruse by him to determine who would face him? It’s a game?!”

 

Knots: “Sounds like it and Blackbourne is losing at it!”

 

Sharper: “The man is changing the rules or more appropriately making them up as he goes…but he’s right about one thing. Fatal Fortunes is out of his hands!”

 

Knots: “Blackbourne is hoping he’ll be damn lucky!”

 

Sharper: “And what does Datura or Jay Gold think about this?!”

 

Shilo Valiant continues to head to the back as Blackbourne looks down and then up, trying to hide his anger as the scene cuts away.

“The Old Me” plays as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. A still for Sienna Swann, Chris Cannon & Glory Braddock vs. Selena Frost, Ace Marshall & Asher Hayes follows.

 

Sharper: “Main event time. Six individuals, six person tag action. And a lot of hatred. It’s next, here on Breakdown!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIALS

Sienna Swann, Chris Cannon & Glory Braddock vs. Selena Frost, Ace Marshall & Asher Hayes

 

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

Phillips: “The following contest is your main event and is scheduled for onefall with TV time remaining. First, on her way to the ring, 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 making her way down the entrance ramp.
 
It's burning down, it's burning high
when ashes fall the legends rise
We burned it out oh my oh why
When ashes fall the legends rise

Throat is dry, my vision's fading
I'm paralyzed and left here waiting
Taking time just one step forward
Won't lose my mind, I'm here to stay

The British Bombshell steps up the steel steps and then onto the ring apron. She 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...

 

Sharper: “Seems like the Beauty Factory is going to be coming out separately.”

 

Knots: “Of course! Their egos require it!”

 

Sharper: “Think about how we’ve started. We’ve already had Bree Lancaster have a unique night. And now Glory Braddock, Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon are looking to get a measure of revenge for earlier and in some ways, Cold Blooded!”

 

The big screen above the entrance springs into life as the lights darken, the only image we see is that of a glistening perfect world logo. We then hear a woman’s voice that sounds a lot like Sienna Swann over the P. A System next as she addresses the arena.

“Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing...”

.CHRIS CANNON.

The opening guitar to “Prometheus” by Audio Machine hit’s over the P.A system next with an explosion of sound. There’s a sudden pause and then a spotlight shines down onto the stage where we see Chris Cannon, he stands proudly on the stage with an aura of confidence about him.

Phillips: “Next, her partner, hailing from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, California, he is Chris Cannon!”

The crowd has a negative reaction for the British superstar as he begins to walk down towards the ring with a confident stride in his step. Once at the bottom of the ramp Cannon then slides into the ring and then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and then raises his arm above his head holding a fist. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “We’ve seen Chris Cannon almost distant all night. A lot going on in his head.”

 

Knots: “Kelcey Wallace even making a comment to that effect. You know you’re screwed up when your ex is clearly right!”

 

The Arena goes dark and silent. The Video package starts, with the lyrics of “Style” by Taylor Swift began to play over the arena, the package shows Sienna Swann in many of her runway walks and shoots, entering the ring with the red carpet rolled out and paparazzi taking pictures on track with the music...
 
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye…
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like….
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time….
 
The lyrics suddenly stop at the sound of a record scratching, the video turns from color to black and white, showing Sienna pacing the hallways distraught, how she reacted after her losses of the World Championship, screaming from the top of her lungs. The footage then revs back up, in color showing Sienna spreading her golden wings, posing with the World Championship and other numerous titles, then seen with her beautiful smile, along with The Truelove Twins and Laura Steinbeck, then with Chris Cannon…

'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style.
You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt.
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time….
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style…
 
Just then the music stops at the scratch of the record. The video distorts one more time. It shows Sienna after the End of the Year Battle Royal, after Taking Hold of the Flame, Retribution, running her fingers through her hair, Chris trying to pull her away, Xiomara jumping in between Sienna and Sasha, when all you can hear is Sienna’s voice….
 
“Beauty, Allure and Elegance, this is what I wanted to bring to the SCW, but you just wouldn’t let me. The People meant something, it was all for them, yet instead those listening to my voice right now slapped the Angel in the face, falling from the heavens and her perch only to land in this hell you call a sport. I am here not for Fashion, or to make this place any less disgusting. For The People, those in charge and the millions who broke my wings? Vengeance is mine……
 
Avenge The Fallen.”
 
The video stops after showing Sienna fallen on the mat. It goes dark, when suddenly the rift of “Fallen Angel” by Three Days Grace begins to play, a lone spotlight centers in the entrance way where Sienna Swann has both fists on the ground while balanced on one knee. Slowly standing up, wearing all vinyl wrestling gear, black pointed eyeliner and red lips. Her long blonde hair slicked back in a high ponytail, wearing a pair of black wings that she spreads out with her arms. She now wears shin guards up to her knee pads, black vinyl gauntlets on her wrists and a long sleeve cut off top with her traditional short tights, Xiomara walks out behind her wearing a tight body suit. Sienna with her eyes closed looks up at the rafters before opening them and making her way to the ring with a glare from her icy blue eyes.
 
Phillips: “Finally, making her way to the ring, from Johannesburg, South Africa, accompanied by her manager, Xiomara! She is the “Avenging Angel” Sienna Swann!”
 
Xiomara and Sienna continue to walk toward the ring as “Fallen Angel” continues to play. Xiomara hops to the ring, waits for Sienna to get on the apron before climbing to the second rope, spreading out her black wins as the crowd roars in boos and covers the arena in camera flashes while Xiomara looks on. Sienna hops over landing on her feet in the ring, Xiomara steps in and stands by her as Sienna poses, holding her arms up and wings spread, lowering her head for a moment before looking up with a scowl on her face.
 
Xiomara helps take off her wings before she finally goes to the outside as Sienna stares at the crowd, the referee and anyone within her sights, stretching her jumping knee strike in the corner, awaiting the match to start….

 

Sharper: “Sienna Swann of course coming out last. New music.”

 

Knots: “Same attitude? Maybe just reflecting the fact that she’s becoming more and more unhinged! Gotta protect the ego!”

 

Sharper: “But they need to go through a motivated threesome who want to knock them down a peg or seven!”

 

A countdown starts on the big screen in fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans erupt in cheers as on stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket. Cassidy Carter comes out to join him by his side.

ADRENALIZE ME

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath them and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd. Cassidy smiles broadly while stepping in a rhythm around the stage to match the beat.

Phillips: “The opponents, first, making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, accompanied by Cassidy Carter, The Bird Slayer, mud slinger and first of his title, Ace Marshall!”

The two make their way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song. Cassidy climbs up on to the apron. But then Chris Cannon runs across and nails Ace with a hard right and then another and another. Sienna moves in and kicks Ace in the ribs. Glory meanwhile runs over and nails Cassidy with a blindside shot as Ace staggers over to the corner. The crowd boos loudly.

 

Sharper: “Come on! Ace Marshal lenteirng the ring and just like at Cold Blooded! Chris Cannon takes the shot first.”

 

Knots: “Ace did it at Cold Blooded. It led to both getting busted and here we go!”

 

Sharper: “Sienna and Chris working over Ace! Cassidy Carter knocked down by Glory!”

 

Ace covers up as Sienna and Chris stomp away before Sienna steps back and Chris just starts to throw right hands while standing over him. The crowd boos before cheers follow as Asher Hayes runs out from the back. He runs down and slides into the ring. Selena Frost is a couple of strides behind. Asher turns and spears Chris down, tackling him down. He gets a few shots in as Sienna then clubs him in the back. Selena gets up and Glory nails her with a hard right. Selena fires back with one. They trade blows as we see Cassidy Carter getting up on the floor. She reaches under the ring and grabs a steel chair as Sienna grabs Asher and pulls him over to the ropes, but Asher elbows her in the ribs and then backs up and clotheslines Sienna to the floor. The crowd roars. Chris gets up and runs over and nails Asher from behind. Asher falls over and Chris stomps him a few times. Cassidy goes to roll into the ring as the crowd roars. Selena meanwhile gets Glory down to the mat and she rolls out. Cassidy gets up as Demitra stops her. Chris gets a few more shots in on Asher before Ace winces, looking over and Selena grabs Chris and spins him around and hits a dropkick. Chris goes up and over too.

 

Sharper: “Cassidy has a chair! Selena knocks Chris up and over!”

 

Knots: “And the ring is cleared for now! We need to get this match started!”

 

Sharper: “We’re going to try and get some order and we’ll be back with this match hopefully in the ring, when we return!”

 

Chris starts to get up as Sienna steps up the steel steps. Glory walks around the ring as Ace takes the chair from Cassidy and then just throws it out of the ring as the scene cuts away.

The crowd ohs and boos. Chris who is getting up then gets up and reaches up and pulls on the arms of Selena, grinding her face into the ringpost as Glory distracts the referee.

 

Sharper: “And Cannon! Johnny-on-the-spot, just trying to maim Selena!”

 

Knots: “Cassidy and Ace may be looking to maim Chris!”

 

Ace hops down and walks around as Cassidy does too. Chris lets go and backs up as Sienna asks for the tag. Glory turns and tags her in. Ace stops and steps back as the official tells him to get back. Sienna enters and runs over to Selena, pulling her out of the corner and hitting a back suplex. Selena rolls over. Sienna gets up and smirks. Selena slowly gets up and Sienna runs over and kicks her hard in the ribs. Selena rolls over and moves to the neutral corner. Sienna follows up with a couple of well-placed kicks to the ribs.

The crowd boos as Selena reaches out again. The referee checks on her as Ace reaches out for the tag. Asher looks on as Glory keeps trying to get her to tap. Selena starts to bridge up as the crowd cheers and the crowd chants “We Believe!” Glory looks around before Asher enters and runs over and stomps Glory in the chest. The crowd roars and Asher backs up, throwing his arms in the air.

 

Knots: “That’s one way to break it up!”

 

Sharper: “Just walked in and did just that!”

 

 Chris steps in and is just stopped by Sienna as Selena rolls over, wincing a bit. She grits her teeth and dives for the tag. Asher and Ace both extend their arms, but Selena tags in Ace. Ace enters the ring. Glory gets up and Ace clotheslines her down. Chris enters and Ace boots him in the face. He falls through the ropes and to the floor. Ace turns and nails Sienna as the crowd cheers. Glory gets up and Ace runs at her and clotheslines her down again. The crowd cheers. Selena slowly stirs as Sienna slides in and runs over and Ace turns and lifts her up and back drops her down. Ace turns as Chris enters and nails him with a hard right and then another and another. He throws hard right hands, trying to get the most out of each shot before Asher springboards to the top rope and hits a dropkick.

 

Sharper: “Chris going after Ace Marshall. This is just a brawl at this point!”

 

Knots: “But Asher’s gonna help his friend!”

 

Sharper: “Dropkick sends Chris to the floor!”

 

Chris hits the mat and rolls to the floor. Sienna starts to get up and Asher looks at her and goes to run over to her. Sienna gets up and Asher runs over and kicks her in the ribs. He hoists her up and onto his shoulder. Glory however gets up and pulls Sienna down. Asher turns and Sienna and Glory hit a double dropkick. Asher hits the mat and rolls to the ropes. Selena then runs over and nails Glory from the side, knocking her down. Sienna gets up and Selena kicks her in the ribs and chops her. The crowd woos. Selena chops her again and again. She then goes to whip her across. She hits the ropes, but Chris grabs her and pulls her to the floor. Sienna and Chris look up as Selena turns and runs across the ring and bounces off and goes to dive over, but Glory nails her in the side. Selena hits the mat and rolls over. The official tries to get her out as Ace runs over and clotheslines her. But as she does, we see Bree Lancaster running down to the ring. She slides in as Sienna smiles. Chris meanwhile walks around and goes over to Asher Hayes as he gets up. Bree then hits the Classifier on Ace behind the officials’ back! The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “No! Bree Lancaster! From the back!”

 

Knots: “Of course! And look at Sienna! Beaming!”

 

Sharper: “All while Chris Cannon is going over to Hayes!”

 

Bree rolls out of the ring. Cassidy starts to head around the ring as Bree backs up. Sienna smiles as Glory turns and moves to Ace for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos as Glory rolls off.

 

Sharper: “And Glory Braddock pins Ace Marshall who pinned her at Retribution! Of course!”

 

Phillips: “Here are your winners-“

 

Before Jason Phillips can announce the winner, we see Chris and Asher Hayes trying blows. Bree starts to head around as Selena gets up and sees Sienna running over and nailing Asher in the back of the head. Asher falls over and tries to fight both before Bree starts to head over. Selena sees her and walks over to the ropes only for the crowd to erupt in cheers as Jake Starr runs out with a steel chair. Bree turns and sees this as Sienna glares. Starr runs down to the ring as Xiomara and Sienna pull Chris away from Asher. Asher winces as Bree turns to run past him. Asher manages to trip Bree. Bree stumbles up as Starr runs forward and swings. Bree ducks and jogs around. Selena remains in the ring as Sienna, Chris, Xiomara and Bree end up in the entrance way. Glory rolls to the floor and joins them. The crowd roars as Starr stops at one point of the ring before rolling in. Ace starts to get up as Cassidy turns to Starr, asking for the chair. Starr extends it to her. She immediately takes it and runs and throws it at the Beauty Factory. The crowd roars. Sienna then points to Chris and Glory.

 

Sienna: “Winners! That’s what we are! Winners! Couldn’t beat us! Couldn’t come close! Need the weapons! EVERYTHING!”

 

Bree just holds up her World and US championships.

 

Sharper: “A wild end here in Providence! But next week, Fatal Fortunes and with that, Bree Lancaster could be in for some long nights and who knows if a mix of these individuals out here will clash.”

 

Knots: “We can only hope!”

 

Selena steps forward and leans on the ropes as Jake Starr remains in the ring. Asher rolls in and looks up before starting to slowly get up. Sienna then turns and heads to the back as Bree keeps posing. Chris has already moved to the stage and is heading to the back as the scene fades to black…
